<<114>> they are very different and have a very

<<116>> different opinion about essential oils

<<123>> is a gift because i lost my mother very

<<125>> early and i am very protective

<<128>> and very connected with them oh how

<<131>> lovely and

<<132>> we know how your children are different

<<133>> i often talk with them about

<<135>> how our children react to certain things

<<207>> last six months to feed them all the

<<209>> time

<<210>> and yeah do you want to care to share

<<213>> with everyone where are you and your

<<214>> children

<<216>> hi it's so good to be here today i'm

<<219>> coming from beautiful slovenia so

<<222>> you're welcome to come visit us i'm a

<<224>> mother of two boys

<<226>> four and a half and seven years old

<<229>> and like i am they completely love

<<232>> my doterra job being a leader having

<<236>> a lot of time to connect with them to be

<<239>> with them

<<240>> so this truly is a blessing oh how

<<243>> wonderful

<<244>> so for those who don't know me and i

<<246>> haven't introduced myself yet so i

<<248>> thought i'll do that now

<<249>> my name is mafaldi clearly i'm the

<<251>> market development manager for portugal

<<253>> and spain um i live in uk i am

<<255>> portuguese

<<256>> and my whole family is in portugal but i

<<258>> live in england with my children

<<260>> and i have two teenagers i have

<<262>> sebastian who's

<<263>> we call seb seb's 18 and he's going to

<<266>> university for the first time

<<267>> this year in a week's time and i have

<<270>> tilly

<<271>> however as we all know the situations

<<274>> have changed and for the last six months

<<276>> pretty much everybody's had their kids

<<278>> full time at home so

<<279>> that's been an interesting challenge for

<<281>> some of them

<<282>> i can homeschooling uh online tutoring

<<287>> uh you know i'm sure some of you have

<<289>> had uh different experiences

<<291>> i think you'll be really good to have a

<<293>> quick uh chat about how has it been for

<<296>> you all to adapt to having all of your

<<299>> children at home

<<300>> all the time and having to do stuff you

<<302>> know they still have to have some sort

<<303>> of

<<304>> education but all online um let's start

<<307>> with anya now we're going to go back

<<308>> down and

<<309>> how has it been for you because that's a

<<310>> challenging age to teach right

<<313>> yeah actually we just now for a few days

<<316>> we have a first grader he just

<<319>> started going to school

<<322>> but before now uh before before that

<<326>> we are living on a big farm so we are

<<329>> outside

<<330>> a lot we have a lot to do with our

<<333>> animals

<<334>> so i'm really grateful because

<<338>> this time was perfect for us to

<<340>> reconnect to be together much more

<<344>> but now the when the school started they

<<346>> are

<<347>> actually going to school there is no

<<349>> homeschooling here for us

<<352>> we use a lot of oils to support emotions

<<355>> to be brave to stay strong and

<<359>> i'm so grateful for all of the rules

<<362>> that

<<363>> is offering us because it really is

<<367>> much more much less challenging

<<370>> to start a new school year um when you

<<374>> um support yourself in that kind of way

<<378>> you know how lovely to be in the farm

<<380>> when you've got to be indoors we to have

<<382>> the

<<382>> ability to just go run around and have

<<385>> all that space that's nice

<<386>> yes yes we are outside basically

<<390>> all day long the kids would also sleep

<<393>> outside if they could

<<394>> so ah oh anna i think you have a quite

<<398>> opposite side of the story haven't you

<<401>> how's it been for you with your tea with

<<403>> your voice

<<404>> we stay at home this all time with the

<<407>> pandemy

<<408>> it was very good because we we all have

<<410>> together we have

<<411>> oils to support them they are very sad

<<415>> because the

<<416>> her friends but now we are start again

<<418>> they back to school the next week

<<420>> and they are very excited to go and back

<<423>> again to the normal routine

<<425>> excellent and did you have online

<<427>> classes with them that they had online

<<429>> lessons

<<430>> the online classes was very difficult

<<433>> because uh here in portugal

<<435>> uh it's not very usually to do that and

<<438>> was very difficult the adaptation but

<<441>> now i think it's more easy and now we're

<<444>> going to change our our life

<<446>> now julia you must have a wide range of

<<449>> experiences in terms of six months of

<<451>> having them all home with different ages

<<453>> tell me

<<454>> tell us a little bit about how was it

<<455>> for you like

<<457>> uh anya we live we have a big piece of

<<459>> land

<<460>> actually two weeks ago i drove down to

<<463>> my hometown

<<464>> and my youngest brother gifted me

<<467>> seven hens and one rooster

<<470>> so here i was traveling with my little

<<473>> babies in the box

<<475>> in the back and so we have a chicken

<<477>> coop and

<<478>> we are we are getting ready to expand

<<481>> also the animal

<<482>> part of our of our family we also had a

<<486>> cat

<<486>> that delivered during the pandemic five

<<490>> little kittens and i we also have a dog

<<493>> so my kids do sleep sometimes on the

<<496>> trampoline outside

<<498>> it is uh it is the the growing up that

<<502>> daniel and i want one of them to have

<<505>> they have a lot of space outside

<<507>> during the pandemic i think the ones

<<508>> that were most affected were the oldest

<<511>> children because it was still required

<<514>> of them

<<514>> to have they're they're really good

<<517>> students

<<518>> you know top students of their classes

<<520>> and

<<521>> it was stressful because they felt they

<<523>> could never unplug

<<524>> so i totally relate to what you thought

<<527>> of what you were saying

<<529>> and that was one of the reasons why my

<<531>> oldest daughter said okay

<<533>> if there is any risk that we're going to

<<535>> go back to a sort of lockdown situation

<<538>> here in italy

<<539>> i'm just going to start this year

<<541>> virtually with an american

<<543>> you know my kids were born in united

<<544>> states so with an american school

<<547>> instead the second one is choosing to

<<550>> go back to school and she's going to to

<<552>> start high school here in italy but yeah

<<554>> during the pandemic

<<555>> uh was challenging emotionally i am so

<<559>> grateful literally you know we say this

<<561>> you know the oils support us

<<563>> but i wish i could have my girls here

<<565>> join the call

<<566>> and say how important it was for them

<<569>> to have some of the oils that they got

<<571>> to know better

<<572>> to support their emotions so now we know

<<576>> kind of all the situations i think it'd

<<577>> be really nice to know what oils and

<<579>> what do whatever products did we use

<<582>> when we were in most need because you've

<<585>> all had different needs i'm assuming and

<<588>> i think

<<588>> you know i speak to myself i absolutely

<<591>> love the fact that i had so many things

<<593>> on tap in terms of oils and products

<<595>> that i could use for

<<596>> for any moment so that was a bit of a

<<599>> savior for some some things and i'll

<<601>> explain to you what i've used mine later

<<603>> but i think let's start

<<605>> with julia um because you've got such

<<608>> wide ranges what were you know what's

<<611>> the oils you're most grateful for having

<<613>> what are the products that you are most

<<614>> grateful for

<<615>> having over the last six months with

<<617>> your kids

<<619>> so in the last having all these children

<<621>> one of the

<<622>> blessings of course there are always

<<623>> pros and cons in any situation in life

<<626>> you know whether you have one zero five

<<628>> ten

<<629>> but one of the pros is the fostering

<<632>> independence

<<633>> so a couple of years ago we have decided

<<635>> to invest on diffusers for all of

<<637>> every room where they are some of them

<<640>> are alone some of them share a room

<<642>> and to have their corner of essential

<<644>> oils

<<645>> so i am not the one in charge to

<<648>> um give them exactly what they need all

<<651>> the time it will not be

<<652>> conceivable you know to be at the same

<<655>> time

<<656>> every night in four different rooms

<<658>> making sure that they're all emotionally

<<659>> stable but

<<660>> i've taught them some principles that

<<662>> help them really govern themselves i

<<664>> feel

<<665>> and what i see that um but i will i

<<667>> observe

<<668>> right so as a mother one of the things

<<671>> that i wanted to share with you

<<672>> having a bigger variety we have all the

<<675>> doterra products at home you know

<<676>> there's

<<677>> and and doubles so observing

<<681>> what they energetically need because

<<683>> they know

<<684>> even when they are seven or eight or

<<686>> nine years old if they have the choice

<<689>> and if you teach them since they were

<<690>> you know since they're younger

<<692>> they will know and i've noticed that for

<<694>> example the girls

<<696>> the girls are are women so they went

<<699>> through their growth

<<700>> already and i see that some of the oils

<<703>> that they choose

<<704>> are more for the heart you know i see

<<707>> that they choose

<<708>> floral oils i'm so glad that now we even

<<710>> have the melissa in roll on

<<712>> it's very precious but they are

<<714>> responsible enough

<<716>> to to to use it the younger kids

<<719>> i have prepared some blends for them and

<<722>> some

<<723>> have their own um kids collection

<<726>> with them and i see that the primary

<<730>> school children the eight and ten year

<<731>> old they tend to go towards

<<734>> the mints and the um

<<737>> and the and the citruses so

<<741>> they really they really like wild orange

<<743>> you know the simple blend

<<744>> they like lemon they like peppermint i

<<747>> have one child that is extremely active

<<750>> and i don't know if you guys remember

<<752>> there is this peaceful child blend

<<754>> and there used to be the recipe online

<<757>> and

<<757>> he has his own personal peaceful child

<<760>> blend and he actually

<<761>> uses it so to give you an idea is just

<<765>> they are pretty educated on what oils

<<769>> are for and i see that they go

<<772>> instinctively

<<773>> towards the citruses when they need to

<<775>> be uplifted

<<778>> and i see that they go towards the

<<780>> especially the older kids the older

<<782>> girls towards the flowers

<<784>> so each one chooses what what they feel

<<787>> more

<<787>> connected to yeah and they really like

<<790>> actually clary column

<<791>> they they they each have their own clary

<<794>> count for

<<796>> you know certain times of the month and

<<799>> that does influence even this

<<801>> performance

<<802>> or anything you know if you're not

<<804>> physically okay

<<806>> then it's gonna be hard to be mentally

<<808>> emotionally okay

<<810>> that's great amazing i love that they

<<813>> choose their own things

<<814>> so um anna you're you've got

<<817>> quite the opposite of of the two boys

<<819>> they're very different

<<820>> and one is more open to the oils the

<<823>> other ones are not so much so

<<825>> how do you what oils do you use to go

<<827>> back to school

<<829>> um they they are different because

<<832>> because they smell they are teenagers

<<834>> and

<<834>> he they use the oils in home uh

<<837>> but when they go to the school they

<<839>> don't like to use the oil to because the

<<841>> smell

<<842>> but they put the oils on the feet

<<846>> we have some routine uh now we are

<<849>> they are going to the school and we use

<<851>> a lot the

<<852>> kids collection because they like and

<<854>> the aroma are very good

<<856>> they use calmer in the night when they

<<860>> they come very excited from school or

<<863>> activities

<<864>> they stayed very excited and i put

<<867>> them calm in the in here behind the ears

<<871>> or

<<872>> on the feet at night we use um diffuser

<<875>> a lot when we begin the day and

<<878>> the our morning is very very excited

<<882>> because we because the time and

<<885>> i put in diffuser all day uh some

<<888>> mix of oils balance peppermint and wild

<<891>> orange for

<<892>> we get more balanced and more energizing

<<896>> in the morning

<<897>> or sometimes i put adaptive uh at the

<<901>> night

<<902>> uh they like to use in the diffuser some

<<905>> uh for relax some another blend uh

<<908>> like we have a one blend it's our house

<<912>> secret

<<913>> uh we put uh vetiver

<<916>> bergamot and juniper berry for they

<<919>> sleep

<<920>> like a rocks and they sleep very very

<<922>> well

<<924>> that's a good a good tip vetiver juniper

<<926>> berry and

<<927>> and bergamot bergamot yes

<<931>> they like a lot diffuser and the light

<<934>> is relaxed them

<<936>> in the room uh and we have

<<939>> another another blend we made now for

<<942>> they

<<942>> they felt more stronger and go to the

<<945>> school and i

<<946>> i put some oils because um i put

<<950>> in a roll on i made some blends i put

<<953>> neo-wally palmer rosa

<<956>> frankincense murr for back to the school

<<959>> and

<<960>> now they only put on the feet in the

<<962>> morning

<<963>> and no other part of the body because

<<966>> they don't want

<<967>> anyone smelled the oils but they put it

<<970>> which is a good thing

<<972>> they doesn't matter how the oils are

<<973>> going in if they if they're going

<<975>> through the food it doesn't it doesn't

<<976>> matter at least

<<977>> they're still using them right that's

<<980>> that's a good thing

<<981>> it's a good way of battling for those

<<982>> kids who don't want the

<<984>> don't they'll feel comfortable with

<<985>> certain smells they're conscious that

<<987>> other kids might smell the oils on them

<<989>> some kids are like that

<<990>> is it there's a whole school thing going

<<992>> back isn't it and there's

<<994>> home is a different thing once they get

<<995>> out of the house they they have to be

<<997>> that other person in a way sometimes

<<1000>> don't they

<<1001>> um and yeah you also a little bit

<<1002>> younger how do you

<<1004>> manage the oils with your children oh

<<1007>> gosh we use

<<1008>> a ton of oils um like when parents

<<1011>> meet me on the hallway of the

<<1013>> kindergarten on the school

<<1016>> they're like oh we know you were already

<<1018>> here because we

<<1019>> smelled you like it smelled awesome so

<<1023>> we knew that's anya but yeah

<<1026>> like julia said um it's really amazing

<<1030>> to see that

<<1031>> the little ones noses really know

<<1034>> exactly what they need their instinct is

<<1038>> remarkable so usually in the mornings

<<1041>> i cannot imagine a warning without

<<1044>> citrus oils in the diffuser or adaptive

<<1048>> we love adaptive

<<1050>> so we start mourning with citruses

<<1053>> and some calming and relaxing music

<<1056>> and then before they um leave before we

<<1059>> leave

<<1060>> home um i bring the kids collection

<<1064>> and i say tell me boys which color would

<<1068>> you like to wear today

<<1070>> and they go like hmm sometimes they

<<1074>> choose only one color

<<1076>> and on so and sometimes they go i need

<<1079>> stronger

<<1080>> i need brave i need steady

<<1083>> so we roll the walls all over their

<<1086>> hearts and

<<1087>> down the spines on on the wrists

<<1091>> like i completely trust their choices

<<1094>> i know that they choose exactly what

<<1097>> they need and that's why this collection

<<1100>> is so great because it's

<<1101>> safe to use they can use them by

<<1104>> themselves

<<1106>> and also sometimes they just

<<1109>> want to have a little bit of rose touch

<<1113>> over their heart because they really

<<1115>> love this is oil

<<1117>> this is their favorite oil so sometimes

<<1119>> they also use it together with stronger

<<1122>> and also where the over the heart area

<<1125>> to keep them safe during the day

<<1129>> and also i like to keep a bottle of the

<<1131>> adaptive touch

<<1133>> near our door so we can use it before we

<<1136>> leave home

<<1137>> to know like it's adapting is such an

<<1141>> amazing blend it

<<1142>> it gives me a lot of confidence and to

<<1144>> my family

<<1146>> that everything will be all right that

<<1148>> we got this

<<1149>> no matter what the day brings us so

<<1152>> adaptive in kids collection every

<<1154>> morning like

<<1156>> we re we really really love those ones

<<1159>> so i i love that i love the fact that

<<1161>> you give them what color they want to

<<1163>> wear how nice is it for a small

<<1165>> for a younger child sometimes don't

<<1166>> necessarily understand

<<1168>> all the different oils and what's the

<<1170>> impact of each one

<<1171>> they might connect to a color as well

<<1174>> that's just such a lovely way of

<<1176>> introducing them to the smaller children

<<1178>> where

<<1178>> you know they their minds are too busy

<<1180>> to understand every individual oil

<<1182>> aren't they but we can

<<1183>> connect them that time i mean i mean in

<<1186>> my diffuser i have diffusers all over

<<1188>> the house i have one in the kitchen

<<1190>> i have one in the living room um and i

<<1193>> varied from what i have so the kitchen

<<1195>> is basically the center of the household

<<1197>> in my house

<<1198>> we're always in the kitchen it's always

<<1199>> where everything happens so i tend to

<<1201>> put some more

<<1202>> happy oils i put motivate cheer some

<<1205>> more citric

<<1206>> things in there just because it's i want

<<1208>> to up the boost the morale in general

<<1210>> when things were going a little bit

<<1212>> and we were bored and everybody was home

<<1214>> and you know what else is gonna

<<1215>> have they gonna do um that

<<1218>> i've literally sprayed that all around

<<1220>> the house

<<1222>> and in the evening they would have that

<<1224>> they all have diffusers in their rooms

<<1225>> as well just like you do so

<<1227>> i would have this sort of serenity

<<1229>> balance all these kind of different ones

<<1231>> for the calming

<<1233>> and adaptive sort of more calming blends

<<1235>> for it so

<<1236>> i mean literally these these products

<<1238>> were with us all the time right

<<1240>> how lucky how lucky do we feel that

<<1242>> there was something that we had on tap

<<1244>> that we could

<<1245>> say oh you feeling now we'll use that

<<1247>> why don't you try this

<<1248>> try that um i think that was a

<<1252>> very good thing i i feel that it is such

<<1255>> a gift

<<1256>> in in a world you know we send them to

<<1258>> school

<<1259>> and they don't really learn in school um

<<1263>> i don't know unless you know you send

<<1264>> them to a very very alternative or

<<1266>> holistic school

<<1268>> but normally when you send them to

<<1270>> school

<<1271>> they don't learn really coping mechanism

<<1274>> for

<<1274>> to balance their emotional and mental

<<1277>> state

<<1278>> what a gift truly this is the most

<<1281>> important gift doterra has given me and

<<1283>> my family

<<1284>> the fact that we can work in different

<<1287>> layers

<<1288>> you know when i started with doterra i

<<1290>> bought the

<<1291>> the natural solutions kit because i saw

<<1293>> that there were

<<1294>> supplements for me and supported me in

<<1296>> my sports

<<1298>> and then i saw the diffuser and you know

<<1299>> there were a lot of other

<<1301>> products for their physical stage you

<<1304>> know like i was thinking you know this

<<1306>> is

<<1306>> for when they fall or to support their

<<1309>> immune system

<<1310>> you know all of the all of the classic

<<1312>> oils

<<1313>> in the way that we we have known them

<<1315>> traditionally

<<1316>> but as we have grown into the knowledge

<<1320>> of the oils

<<1322>> but i find that what we use the oils the

<<1324>> most

<<1326>> and i'm so grateful for the years of

<<1327>> preparation that we have had

<<1329>> leading up to this global situation is

<<1332>> truly the mental and emotional

<<1334>> and that is the that's the gift the big

<<1337>> gift that we can give to our children to

<<1339>> be able to listen

<<1340>> and observe themselves and recognize

<<1343>> their needs and not blame the

<<1346>> circumstances and feeling that they're

<<1348>> in charge

<<1349>> of their whole emotional and mental

<<1351>> health since they're

<<1353>> pretty young you know eight nine years

<<1355>> old can already recognize

<<1357>> the feelings of anger or frustration or

<<1360>> sadness

<<1362>> that's so so powerful that em that

<<1364>> message is really

<<1365>> strong and it is something that

<<1366>> sometimes you know people forget

<<1369>> they when new people come to the terror

<<1371>> they often look like you said for the

<<1372>> physical side and

<<1374>> and yeah here we are and all we've

<<1375>> talked about was mostly the emotional

<<1377>> side

<<1378>> right you know we didn't talk about

<<1381>> essential oils that they're gonna need

<<1383>> to go back to school but actually you

<<1384>> know perhaps it's something we should

<<1386>> talk about the physical side as well and

<<1389>> obviously at the beginning epidemic

<<1390>> everybody you know we were all taking on

<<1392>> guard

<<1392>> and we'd take all that all the time but

<<1394>> you know there were lots of other things

<<1395>> we take

<<1396>> but we forget because when we see here

<<1399>> in a situation we have for six months

<<1401>> it's the emotional side that counts we

<<1404>> all hold on to that emotional power

<<1406>> and that is so so strong it's fantastic

<<1410>> so now we talked about what the kids go

<<1412>> for what aisles the kids go to

<<1414>> i want to know what about you how are

<<1417>> you feeling with your children going

<<1419>> back to school

<<1420>> because i hear from people everywhere

<<1423>> there's a huge

<<1424>> mix of emotions some people are chuffed

<<1428>> that they're going back we can't have my

<<1429>> house back and you know things can go

<<1431>> back to normal

<<1433>> some people don't want to let go but

<<1435>> some moms are worried

<<1437>> about the safety of their children about

<<1439>> the fact they're going to be mixing with

<<1440>> lots of other children

<<1442>> and there's a whole mix of emotions

<<1444>> going on here

<<1445>> you know and actually each one of us

<<1447>> sees this return

<<1448>> back to some kind of normality in a

<<1450>> different format so

<<1452>> what i want to know is what do you go

<<1455>> for

<<1456>> when at the moment is it a relief

<<1460>> is it a joy how what oils are you used

<<1463>> to support your emotions right now

<<1465>> as your children are preparing

<<1466>> themselves so they are going back to

<<1468>> school

<<1469>> so i'm going to start with anna now

<<1473>> so for them it's good to go to the

<<1476>> go back to the routine now this year

<<1479>> they go to another school

<<1480>> a different school with another friend

<<1482>> and they are very excited to

<<1484>> to go and to begin a new life and uh

<<1488>> um they are happy a little bit

<<1492>> this is different because they have to

<<1494>> use masks in the in the classroom

<<1497>> but they are happy and i'm i'm happy to

<<1500>> to

<<1500>> they go back to the new routine and the

<<1503>> new school and

<<1504>> is there any special oil that you go for

<<1507>> yourself

<<1508>> to help you to with all of this

<<1509>> transition yes

<<1511>> yes i'm the the oils help me

<<1515>> help myself to be more

<<1519>> more confident and to have more courage

<<1522>> to let him go they go

<<1526>> yes let them go sometimes we have to

<<1528>> don't you

<<1529>> and yeah how are you going to cope with

<<1532>> this new start

<<1534>> you know that actually i'm quite

<<1537>> calm with everything because you know

<<1540>> essential oils are really

<<1542>> powerful um like they really empower

<<1545>> our kids teach them mindfulness

<<1548>> um together we do a lot of aromatic

<<1552>> anchoring

<<1553>> we anchor to gratitude and and

<<1556>> with your anchoring came from anchoring

<<1559>> affirmations so i know

<<1562>> they have everything they need so

<<1565>> frankly i'm quite happy that they are

<<1568>> going back to school in kindergarten

<<1571>> they also have diffusers in kindergarten

<<1575>> with some calming calls

<<1578>> and so that's a perfect thing but as

<<1582>> it is for myself i use a lot of

<<1585>> yarrow foam also i like aromatically

<<1589>> dressing

<<1590>> with it so and a lot of

<<1593>> beautiful mist yarrow palm and beautiful

<<1596>> mist

<<1597>> works like magic for me and of course a

<<1600>> lot of

<<1600>> adaptive but i am happy because i know

<<1603>> they are really

<<1604>> well prepared and like julia said

<<1608>> um it's so great that we can teach

<<1612>> our kids to be mindful um and yeah we

<<1615>> really have an amazing tool

<<1617>> in our hands so it's all that comes

<<1620>> fantastic

<<1621>> and lastly this is the last julia this

<<1624>> is our last question

<<1626>> how are you feeling about all of this

<<1628>> mixed emotions going on

<<1630>> oh man i i think this is my favorite

<<1633>> question

<<1635>> okay we have so much power

<<1638>> so much power i don't know if you guys

<<1640>> see it in your team

<<1642>> in your business in your family when you

<<1645>> are somewhat aligned

<<1648>> and to get me there yes essentially

<<1651>> support me but i also

<<1653>> do physical things i need to run i need

<<1655>> to bike i need to do those things that

<<1657>> make me feel alive

<<1658>> okay so it's not just sitting on a tree

<<1661>> smelling

<<1662>> balanced or in tune

<<1665>> lately i've used in tune like crazy i

<<1668>> don't know what i

<<1669>> i just i take it everywhere i don't

<<1672>> start the day

<<1673>> and end the day without your palm just

<<1675>> like anya i was smiling because

<<1677>> i love the body one minute so i put it

<<1680>> all over me

<<1681>> i mean i have been

<<1685>> i started traveling again teaching

<<1686>> aromatouch and

<<1688>> having some constant you know some a

<<1691>> certain routine for me really blesses me

<<1694>> but uh i am i feel at peace

<<1698>> and it is not something that has come

<<1700>> like this

<<1701>> i don't feel at peace because i watch

<<1703>> the news i i

<<1705>> i turn them off i i actually haven't

<<1707>> watched news you know

<<1708>> in years and years i feel at peace

<<1710>> because

<<1712>> of what i learned of accepting the

<<1714>> situation and welcoming it

<<1717>> and i feel that this is a way of looking

<<1719>> at life there will always be a reason to

<<1721>> worry

<<1723>> our grandparents always had reasons to

<<1725>> worry you know my dad

<<1727>> was conceived during world war ii

<<1730>> my grandmother tried to end that

<<1733>> pregnancy

<<1734>> and because it was they had just bombed

<<1736>> their house

<<1737>> so if we i'm a historian and if we put

<<1739>> ourselves in the context

<<1741>> of history we realize that in every

<<1745>> era there have been dramas terrible

<<1748>> things

<<1748>> happening and and i feel that worrying

<<1752>> about the future

<<1753>> it's just sucking and draining our

<<1755>> energies just to take

<<1757>> take our life energy from us it's easy

<<1759>> to say it's hard to do in the moment

<<1761>> when you see that your children have

<<1762>> plans we had specific plans for

<<1765>> this year the airlines canceled our

<<1767>> ticket to do

<<1769>> to to you know to do certain things and

<<1770>> to take certain certain actions

<<1773>> but when unexpected things happen we

<<1774>> always have the choice and

<<1776>> here there are oils like

<<1779>> anchor like the the yoga the yoga trio

<<1782>> is just much more than yoga but each one

<<1786>> of you i'm sure

<<1787>> will have their anchoring oils on the

<<1789>> grounding oils

<<1790>> but i guess what i'm sharing with you is

<<1792>> that we

<<1794>> are the most important people

<<1797>> to take care of it's like in the

<<1799>> airplane

<<1800>> you gotta have that mask first you gotta

<<1803>> have that

<<1804>> oxygen first oxygen first in your life

<<1806>> in order to give balance

<<1809>> inspire your children so yeah i a big

<<1812>> message to all the moms

<<1814>> that freak out about all the kids just

<<1816>> take time for yourself

<<1818>> i learned it the hard way with myself

<<1821>> because i was not

<<1822>> naturally like that i so agree with you

<<1825>> that's beautifully put because

<<1827>> if you don't look after yourself how can

<<1828>> you look after your little ones isn't it

<<1830>> you've got to look after your own mental

<<1832>> health

<<1833>> and your own sanity in a way so

<<1836>> you can then afford to take time and

<<1838>> dedicate them to your children and

<<1840>> this is one of the reasons i asked that

<<1842>> question because everybody's all about

<<1843>> you know what we're going to do to the

<<1844>> kids i'm like yeah what about you how

<<1846>> about your emotions

<<1848>> how are you feeling you know i know that

<<1850>> you know next week my son goes to

<<1852>> university for the start for the first

<<1853>> time in my life in the last 18 years

<<1856>> i'll have no children at home and i'll

<<1858>> be like what am i gonna do

<<1860>> i think for the first few weeks i'm

<<1862>> gonna celebrate the fact that the house

<<1863>> is

<<1864>> tidy and the fridge hasn't just

<<1865>> evaporated with food consistently

<<1867>> you know all those lovely things that

<<1870>> you obviously get

<<1871>> and then you kind of eventually i know

<<1873>> he's gonna sort of come down to

<<1876>> okay this is this is what my life is

<<1878>> going to be now the children you know

<<1879>> fly in the nest that's what i raise them

<<1881>> for i raise them so they can become

<<1883>> independent grown-up adults

<<1885>> i raise them so they can be you know

<<1888>> this can survive out there by themselves

<<1890>> i don't want the

<<1891>> whole hang of my wing for the rest of

<<1892>> their lives that's not what we want but

<<1895>> at some stage that realization comes

<<1899>> and when you know when they when my son

<<1901>> goes off to university independent

<<1902>> living

<<1903>> in liverpool which is a long way from

<<1904>> here be like

<<1907>> well i won't see you at chris until

<<1908>> christmas now and and

<<1910>> you're just gonna have to fence and do

<<1911>> your own washing do your own cooking and

<<1914>> you know i'm sure you'll survive you'll

<<1916>> probably go through without pans for a

<<1917>> while but then you'll work it out but

<<1919>> that's what they do

<<1921>> and i think for us all um whatever the

<<1924>> age they are

<<1925>> you know we all we are all mothers we

<<1927>> raise our children from

<<1928>> you know we want them to be successful

<<1930>> and to be happy and to be

<<1932>> adults independent mature man so

<<1935>> thank you thank you all for your

<<1938>> contributions today it's been absolutely

<<1940>> incredible

<<1941>> um to hear from all of you in your

<<1944>> experiences to know they actually were
