<<24>> hen danela or Dany is someone I have

<<27>> admired for some years now she's a

<<34>> but also how to maintain a balanced and

<<37>> healthy life at the same

<<39>> time please note that this episode is

<<42>> also available in German okay let's get

<<47>> started so Danny you obviously are a

<<50>> wellness Powerhouse I would really like

<<52>> to start by asking you to give us a

<<54>> description on who you are and why you

<<56>> do what you do I do what I do because

<<60>> I love a healthy lifestyle I think that

<<63>> was even before I met to Tera and the

<<67>> oils um I actually um always loved being

<<72>> outside on walks and exercising enjoying

<<77>> healthy food and everything around that

<<79>> but when I got introduced to the oils I

<<83>> think a lot changed in terms

<<87>> of finding even more time connecting

<<89>> with my myself um because 2016 I met the

<<93>> oils and also um had my first yoga

<<96>> teacher training um so it came both into

<<100>> my life and that really changed

<<102>> everything I know obviously we've Spen

<<105>> before and you have quite a unique story

<<107>> and I think it would be very inspiring

<<109>> for people um to hear about your story

<<112>> so can you tell us about your life back

<<114>> in Australia before you found a era yes

<<117>> um I H I'm I'm holding business degree

<<120>> and it was um an international study

<<124>> program where I also have to go abroad

<<127>> and so I spent 2005 um about half a year

<<131>> in Australia um at um at the Gold Coast

<<135>> surface Paradise um it was really

<<137>> paradise and um I I fell in love um with

<<142>> a with a guy and and we had a

<<144>> longdistance relationship for three

<<146>> years uh always with the with the goal

<<150>> to move to Australia together and we

<<152>> realized that in 2008 so I left Germany

<<156>> actually with the idea I'm going for

<<159>> good I will move to Australia and that's

<<162>> it because I was mly in love and I

<<164>> really thought at the time this is the

<<166>> guy I would marry um we we had an

<<169>> amazing time and um when I reflect on

<<173>> that time I also know that it was an

<<175>> important piece um on my journey also to

<<180>> build a network um and to be a a

<<184>> professional also salesperson I mean

<<186>> we're not just sharing oils we also do

<<189>> sales and um um with my partner John at

<<193>> the time because the options um were

<<196>> also being a nanny which I did and

<<198>> working um as a bartender which I also

<<201>> did um both both a little out of my

<<204>> comfort zone because I was holding a

<<206>> really good degree um but a lot of

<<209>> people think you just a Backpacker um

<<212>> moving through and I always said no I'm

<<214>> here to stay um and there were also some

<<217>> Visa issues so we started actually a job

<<222>> which meant basically knocking on doors

<<225>> and

<<226>> selling um a program for kids to the

<<230>> parents um just a tutor program and as

<<234>> you can imagine it was not the easiest

<<236>> of all jobs but we learned a lot from

<<239>> our

<<240>> um yeah from our mentor about sales and

<<244>> one important phrase it's still in my

<<247>> mind and I I think I I said it already

<<250>> to my team if you tell you won't sell if

<<254>> you ask why they will buy and that

<<257>> really stuck in my head because it's

<<260>> about the why and then finding the the

<<265>> problem and offering a

<<267>> solution and I think with d Tera we have

<<270>> so many amazing Solutions and it's about

<<273>> listening and connecting to people even

<<276>> if they are you know not just your

<<278>> friends um and building that Rapport

<<281>> that connection you know in the very

<<283>> first minutes of meeting

<<286>> someone well and I think this is a very

<<289>> foundational um skill I got to learn

<<292>> there even not knowing that I will use

<<295>> it many years later and sounded like

<<299>> this first job kind of prepared you a

<<301>> little bit for this business which is

<<304>> incredible so the universe had is on had

<<307>> a plan yes although I was very unhappy

<<310>> at the time at some point because um it

<<313>> was not what I wanted to do but at some

<<315>> point I I got a a job in sales and

<<318>> marketing and I got to travel a lot so I

<<321>> always um yeah learned to sales site um

<<325>> selling advertisements um in the

<<327>> broadcast industry which was

<<330>> male dominated industry but um I always

<<334>> knew that if I walk into a room with a

<<336>> smile and you know with an open heart

<<340>> you know I will I will catch people and

<<343>> um yeah and with the marketing in all of

<<346>> that I I I think I learned also how to

<<350>> Market myself and you know whatever

<<353>> there is your offering like how learning

<<356>> how to Market yourself and to present

<<358>> yourself when you are there people are

<<361>> buying products but also they need to

<<364>> buy you in inverted commas they buy they

<<368>> buy you because you're an inspiration

<<371>> they buy from you I want to say they're

<<374>> not buying me actually um but they're

<<376>> buying my time you know and how I care

<<380>> but um if you if you really embody and

<<383>> live you know the lifestyle and and all

<<386>> of that if it's really authentic and and

<<390>> true to yourself then it's also

<<392>> authentic to others and I think this is

<<395>> one of the things that we need to keep

<<397>> in mind nowadays that it's not about

<<400>> making it just look good and have a good

<<403>> slogan you know this is back in the days

<<405>> with all the the the the pr you know and

<<409>> all of that it's more about really going

<<411>> out sharing from your own experience

<<415>> your own

<<416>> story and this is where I connect to

<<419>> people people even even now doesn't this

<<423>> come from like practice and and learning

<<426>> and experiences cuz maybe at the

<<428>> beginning you think oh if I just package

<<430>> this whatever this is in a really nice

<<433>> way people will get it people will buy

<<435>> it and then after a while you learn that

<<437>> actually you have to be true to yourself

<<439>> to be able to to do this business when I

<<443>> started this business it was not with

<<446>> the idea of okay I will be presidential

<<450>> Diamond at some point because in 2016

<<453>> and it was more 2017 when I started to

<<457>> share the oils there were not so many

<<459>> people in Europe already at the top

<<463>> there were not so many like business

<<466>> Inspirations in Europe um and actually I

<<470>> I didn't look so much to the US market

<<472>> and and was involved in following people

<<475>> who were already maybe you know at

<<477>> higher ranks I just shared purely

<<481>> because I love the oils and I'm always

<<484>> someone I'm I'm a sharer I'm a I'm a

<<487>> Aquarius um with my star sign and um

<<490>> Aquarius is a natural

<<492>> networker I still in touch um with all

<<496>> the people I know from back in the days

<<498>> in Australia I am really good in keeping

<<502>> connections um with my friends and and

<<505>> even people I randomly know and um I'm

<<509>> just going out having fun and and and

<<512>> sharing and talking about it and this is

<<515>> I think what helped me a lot in the

<<517>> beginning um because people just felt

<<520>> that energy that is beautiful I love

<<522>> that you also mention your star sign

<<525>> just just like that and how it's part of

<<527>> your nature uh so I can also share my

<<530>> human design a lot of people actually in

<<532>> my team you know they introduced

<<534>> themselves with the human design I think

<<536>> it's something you know um maybe you

<<539>> know know in those modern days I'm a

<<541>> generator I'm a generator

<<544>> 1.3 and I know that in my chart a lot of

<<549>> the centers my root is um defined and

<<553>> also my my Crone so this means I have a

<<556>> lot of energy like an engine you know

<<558>> the engine is running plus I have the

<<561>> connection to something I call Universe

<<564>> you know a higher presence um where I

<<567>> always feel all the answers are given to

<<570>> me when I know that need need to know

<<573>> them so you mentioned energy so my next

<<576>> question is have you ever experience

<<577>> burnout I'm guessing yes but can you

<<581>> walk us through that experience and

<<583>> maybe what you learned from that it was

<<585>> actually I think one of the most

<<587>> important times in my life and I um last

<<592>> year at convention in Lisbon I talked

<<594>> about this on stage because it was um

<<597>> just also reflecting back on the time I

<<601>> realized it was really important for

<<604>> me it cracked me open in a way um it

<<607>> really allowed me to to change my path

<<610>> in life and it all started because my

<<615>> life in Australia started to crumble I

<<618>> had Visa issues because I was not dating

<<620>> that guy anymore and then my I got a um

<<625>> my job got determinated and all the

<<628>> signs were like like go home to Germany

<<631>> and I was really fighting and and really

<<635>> trying to stay because I was like no I

<<637>> want to stay at some point I felt like

<<641>> there is no energy left anymore you know

<<644>> I I lost that battle so I went home and

<<647>> really felt like a failure because with

<<649>> 31 I moved back into the house of my

<<653>> parents in my kids room

<<656>> basically W with in you know I thought

<<660>> with nothing because my friends they

<<662>> were mostly married and they had great

<<665>> jobs and they they were kind of set up

<<668>> in life and I felt like all the years I

<<671>> spent in Australia were just a waste of

<<673>> time because I was back to zero and um I

<<678>> at that time I was just focusing on the

<<682>> outside on what you have on the outside

<<686>> like a job a relationship

<<689>> um and I felt so worthless honestly I

<<693>> felt

<<694>> so I'm not worth anything and that

<<698>> really brought me into a very dark hole

<<701>> I didn't have the oils or anything to

<<704>> support me I didn't know yoga at the

<<706>> time I didn't meditate I I was unaware

<<709>> that there is a universe within me that

<<712>> there is a place within me with a lot of

<<714>> light I really thought I lost it I

<<717>> really thought this is over now and it

<<719>> was around six

<<721>> months where I walked through this yeah

<<724>> deep valley but I'm I'm very proud and

<<730>> happy that I managed by myself by by

<<733>> myself with the help of amazing people

<<735>> that got sent to me I was guided to them

<<739>> people who could see that I don't need a

<<743>> pill I need some tools and then I

<<747>> started my first coaching training and I

<<750>> got in touch with a lot of people call

<<752>> it a higher self an energy that is

<<755>> divine um a presence this is so much

<<759>> bigger than we are as just human people

<<761>> in this body and tears were running down

<<764>> my face when I had that connection for

<<767>> the first time I was like Wow and that

<<770>> was basically the start of my and all

<<774>> also you can say spiritual

<<776>> journey and I was in 200

<<779>> 13 so it's 11 years ago and I'm I'm

<<783>> still on the journey and it never never

<<785>> ends and in Lisbon on stage at the

<<788>> convention I was talking about the

<<790>> butterfly how the butterfly the

<<792>> caterpillar needs to go into a cocoon

<<795>> stay there for a while so the butterfly

<<798>> can actually grow and the wings you need

<<800>> to fly and last year two three months

<<806>> after that convention I've really felt

<<809>> felt like another metamorphosis started

<<811>> to happen and um I was like really and I

<<815>> was not burned out but there was an a

<<819>> lot of emotions coming up and also

<<823>> looking at the darker sides you know of

<<825>> yourself and allowing this to show and I

<<828>> think a lot of people feel the same and

<<831>> because the times right now we in are

<<834>> yeah a bit challenging in a way I hear

<<836>> it from so many people in my network

<<839>> work or new clients I talk to most of

<<841>> the people they need something to calm

<<844>> their mind to balance their emotions so

<<848>> I would say emotional healing is one of

<<850>> the top things we need to look at you

<<853>> have no idea Danny how much this

<<855>> resonates with me personally as I'm I'm

<<857>> sure with many other listeners as well

<<859>> um I went through a similar phase a

<<861>> couple of years ago I had to relocate

<<863>> back home and it was a very tumultuous

<<866>> um challenging time and I'm sure

<<869>> 100% sure that this resonates with so

<<871>> many people so thank you for sharing

<<873>> that I think you always need to remember

<<875>> if you go through a darker time in your

<<877>> life um that there is something magical

<<881>> happening in that those moments it's

<<883>> like the you know this that's why I love

<<886>> the the image of the caterpillar turning

<<889>> into the butterfly it needs this going

<<893>> inside it needs this sometimes pressure

<<897>> also you know how to create diamonds

<<900>> the pressure and um there's always

<<903>> really there's always a gift within this

<<907>> part of your life the the challenge I

<<909>> guess is that sometimes you cannot see

<<912>> the reason why you're going through

<<913>> those or you know to see that there is

<<916>> an exit and of course there is an exit

<<918>> there is a way out always but sometimes

<<920>> it's challenging to to realize there is

<<923>> a way out there is a something else

<<926>> something better something different uh

<<928>> that's waiting on the other side of this

<<930>> dark

<<932>> moment I think all you need is Faith all

<<935>> you need is to trust there's one phrase

<<939>> or sentence I always have in mind the

<<942>> universe is a friendly

<<943>> one nothing is happening just to you

<<947>> it's happening for you and it's

<<950>> happening for you I call it Awakening

<<953>> and with the Awakening I mean for me for

<<956>> example back in the days realizing

<<959>> even if on the outside things are

<<962>> missing it has nothing to do it's not

<<965>> related to my

<<966>> worth I run with one of my leaders just

<<970>> recently the I am worthy challenge or

<<973>> Journey it's a five week program but by

<<977>> D delune um another great leader from

<<981>> the US um it's a it's a book it's that's

<<984>> available and realizing that you're

<<987>> actually worth it no matter what whether

<<990>> you have a job or relationship how much

<<992>> money you're earning which rank you're

<<994>> holding it's this is this is the

<<997>> Awakening and also knowing okay it's

<<999>> it's me in this body um and I might have

<<1003>> some drama going on but there is

<<1005>> something even bigger and an even

<<1008>> greater plan for me I think that comes

<<1011>> with a lot of maturity and

<<1012>> self-awareness and uh we always say this

<<1015>> journey is a self-discovery journey

<<1018>> right

<<1019>> it's something that you keep learning

<<1020>> every day you unrep yourself your true

<<1023>> self you know um yeah one of the phrases

<<1025>> everyone heard before is like it's

<<1027>> self-development wrapped in essential o

<<1029>> oils I think I heard this at my first

<<1031>> convention 2017 in Amsterdam and it was

<<1034>> a very small convention back in the days

<<1037>> and I was like ah interesting but I was

<<1039>> interested in you know developing myself

<<1042>> my

<<1043>> personality and looking back I can say

<<1048>> yes

<<1049>> it's mostly that you know if you really

<<1052>> think that you just need a couple good

<<1054>> sales tricks um and tools to to rock

<<1058>> that business I really believe that you

<<1061>> need to be willing to grow inside

<<1064>> because your inside is a reflection of

<<1066>> the outside so if you're not really

<<1068>> stretching yourself from the inside and

<<1070>> willing to grow I don't think that the

<<1074>> outside and in in terms of the business

<<1077>> it's the the size of your organ

<<1078>> organization and your team and your rank

<<1082>> that this won't flow easily yeah you

<<1085>> might achieve it with a lot of strengths

<<1089>> you know physical strengths and this

<<1092>> might lead you to another

<<1095>> burnout because I I also see also in our

<<1098>> Wellness industry people running

<<1100>> themselves into the ground because I

<<1103>> mean we're in the business of caring for

<<1106>> other people and really with the

<<1109>> with the Thea vision of helping the

<<1112>> world heal but this means and I'm going

<<1115>> through this myself you need to heal

<<1117>> yourself first how am I able to help

<<1121>> anyone else if I'm not feeling

<<1124>> well nourished and with a full energy

<<1128>> tank you know so um yeah yeah I love

<<1133>> this and we've spoken about this a

<<1135>> couple of days ago um I'm really

<<1137>> passionate about this topic so please

<<1140>> Danny um tell us something about your

<<1142>> self-care routine and what it means for

<<1144>> you um what what are you willing to

<<1147>> share with

<<1147>> us everything thank you well I think

<<1152>> this is my top priority um in my life um

<<1156>> and I just um ran a retreat here where I

<<1160>> live at tan which is outside of Munich

<<1162>> with 25 people and I was teaching yoga

<<1166>> I'm not an active yoga instructor

<<1168>> anymore so I don't have regular classes

<<1170>> or anything I stopped this in 2020 but I

<<1173>> still love teaching um in in Retreat and

<<1177>> I was sharing meditations with them but

<<1180>> most of it we really you know I I really

<<1184>> told them what I do on a daily basis

<<1188>> because it's the daily actions that lead

<<1190>> to success or that lead to you know you

<<1194>> really feel good even if the going gets

<<1197>> rough and for me and my partner

<<1200>> Christian it's it's yeah getting up

<<1202>> fairly early we're rather early birds

<<1205>> than you know late late birds going to

<<1208>> bed so we love going to bed early having

<<1211>> at least I love to sleep you know having

<<1214>> at least eight hours um sometimes more

<<1219>> and then getting up having our yoga

<<1221>> routine and then we meditate I think

<<1225>> meditation is so important because this

<<1227>> is the moment in the morning where I

<<1229>> connect to the source where I connect to

<<1232>> the universal chat GPT and I got answers

<<1236>> if I have questions I got energy I I can

<<1240>> download the light I need I everything

<<1243>> is available I just need to be able and

<<1246>> willing to to plug in and then we have a

<<1250>> a new routine it's not that new anymore

<<1252>> but since a year basically of having um

<<1256>> ceremonial raw caca in the morning so so

<<1258>> I'm not drinking coffee anymore um and

<<1261>> actually this is also cute and so I'm

<<1264>> sharing it I was at the global

<<1266>> presidential Diamond trip for the first

<<1268>> time last year I was invited I this is a

<<1270>> big deal it's the biggest incentive you

<<1272>> can you can be part of and we were in

<<1274>> Jordan and also it was the first trip

<<1277>> after the the break after the pandemic

<<1280>> um so we were even more people and um I

<<1284>> think by the end of the trip we were um

<<1287>> at the um at the see with hanging out

<<1289>> with some of the presidential diamonds

<<1291>> and then um um James BBY um husband of

<<1296>> roxan BBY and she's actually the sister

<<1299>> of Natalie Gard so this is the

<<1301>> connection he he was talking about cacao

<<1304>> and he's so crazy about cacao he brought

<<1306>> all the equipment and so other PDS were

<<1308>> saying yeah we're also drinking cacao

<<1311>> and it's like okay there must be

<<1313>> something about cacao and S success in

<<1316>> that business and presidential diamonds

<<1319>> and so we actually started last summer

<<1322>> to have our cacao routine I shared this

<<1324>> a lot on Instagram and and I I think I

<<1328>> already got a lot of people hooked on it

<<1330>> and I have also dear fellow leader Emily

<<1333>> mascarinas from the UK and she's also a

<<1336>> caca lover and um so we have our cacao

<<1339>> routine in the morning and

<<1342>> um then we pick some cards you know so

<<1346>> get some inspiration for the day are we

<<1348>> talking T reading yeah tarot but also

<<1350>> other like cards you know and they giv

<<1354>> you gives you also like a little nut

<<1357>> sometimes you know hey you need to look

<<1358>> at that or here you know go that way and

<<1362>> then I probably schedule you know calls

<<1366>> from 10 10:30 onwards like mentoring

<<1368>> calls I go mostly outside you know I

<<1371>> love my walks I'm I'm a

<<1374>> walker in nature you know and I know

<<1377>> some people like Jud it judge it because

<<1380>> they say like oh you go outside and you

<<1383>> go for a walk and but you're not

<<1385>> enjoying nature because you're on a on a

<<1388>> call and I was reflecting on that

<<1390>> because I call it walk and talk you know

<<1393>> and I was like what isn't it better to

<<1395>> be outside with fresh air sun in my face

<<1399>> than being stuck in front of a zoom and

<<1402>> a laptop you know so sorry I choose that

<<1406>> because when I'm walking I'm in emotion

<<1409>> and all my thoughts come naturally I

<<1411>> have great ideas and there's a certain

<<1414>> energy also running through me and I

<<1418>> hear it over and over again people on

<<1420>> the other side you know my my mene they

<<1424>> will tell me afterward War this was so

<<1426>> energizing yeah I'm sure you can pass on

<<1429>> the energy to them like you're

<<1430>> recharging yourself but you're passing

<<1432>> on the energy to them and I do something

<<1434>> that nourish me that makes me feel good

<<1436>> and that that I love

<<1439>> and I I think we're all choosing this

<<1441>> business for a reason of freedom of a of

<<1443>> a reason of being being free to to

<<1447>> choose how we do it and um yeah I've

<<1450>> always done it like that and I I'm not

<<1454>> someone being stuck in front of my

<<1456>> computer for a lot I'm I'm happy about

<<1458>> that and actually that triggered my next

<<1460>> question and I wanted to ask you why did

<<1463>> you pick network

<<1465>> marketing I think network marketing

<<1467>> picked me it was really it was I think

<<1471>> it's a calling um with looking back on

<<1474>> my history and as I said all the little

<<1476>> puzzle pieces they just it was the

<<1479>> picture that was laid out for me it's

<<1482>> it's my Souls plan to to use a network

<<1487>> you know and and creating a a big

<<1489>> organization to feed a certain energy

<<1492>> and message into my team because people

<<1495>> who know me and maybe H me at

<<1498>> conventions or you know the German

<<1501>> speaking crowd my own podcast you know I

<<1505>> I do my business in a very conscious way

<<1508>> and I bring even my you know

<<1511>> spirituality from yoga and everything

<<1513>> like that into my business and then I

<<1516>> think for me it works perfectly and I

<<1520>> even study I'm a student of a course in

<<1524>> Miracle some people might know that I I

<<1527>> even read a little paragraph from a book

<<1530>> A Return To Love from Marian Williamson

<<1533>> which is a great um inspirational book I

<<1536>> can highly recommend um and this course

<<1539>> really changed my life and also in is

<<1542>> infused into my business because the

<<1545>> principles are very easy I always have a

<<1548>> choice I can choose love or I can choose

<<1551>> fear and the one thing connects me to

<<1553>> other people and the other thing fear

<<1557>> Separates Me

<<1558>> and if you want to live a

<<1561>> network style and you want to create a

<<1563>> big Network you need to be willing to

<<1565>> connect to a lot of people so yeah this

<<1569>> is what I do and um so I think it's not

<<1572>> that I consciously went out there and

<<1575>> looked for an opportunity to be

<<1578>> self-employed I actually had never the

<<1580>> the wish to run my own business it just

<<1584>> was a natural flow of things um and each

<<1587>> door that opened as just said okay I go

<<1591>> through it I try I started this business

<<1594>> full-time in 2018 without any doubts any

<<1599>> doubts that I could fail without any

<<1601>> doubt that you would be able to do it

<<1604>> and I thought what is the worst thing

<<1606>> that could happen um because I I quit my

<<1609>> job it's like I will find another

<<1612>> job I I just give it a shot and I think

<<1615>> a lot of people are being hold P back by

<<1619>> their own doubts and maybe fears of not

<<1624>> being successful and then I'm thinking

<<1626>> just do one step at a time it's like

<<1629>> walking up a mountain you know we're

<<1631>> surrounded here by a lot of mountains

<<1633>> it's like when I start hiking I never

<<1637>> see the top but I see the path in front

<<1640>> of me and I choose actively to each step

<<1644>> to go and maybe if I need a break I

<<1647>> break but I I really want to go to the

<<1649>> top so that's my commitment to keep

<<1651>> going so what is the biggest challenge

<<1654>> you've encountered while on this journey

<<1656>> while building your daa business and

<<1658>> what did you learn from it I think the

<<1661>> biggest challenge for me personally was

<<1664>> to watch and to respect my own

<<1668>> boundaries and my

<<1671>> own also energy boundaries because um I

<<1675>> was after the relationship break up from

<<1678>> Australia um I was on my own I was

<<1682>> single for eight years um also when I

<<1684>> started the business so I had a lot of

<<1686>> time you know I had no family in that

<<1689>> way that I was not married no kids and I

<<1691>> fully gave everything I had to this

<<1695>> business and also yoga and trainings and

<<1698>> I went to all the events and I I reached

<<1702>> the rank silver gold diamond I was never

<<1706>> Platinum actually um and never lost the

<<1708>> rank so for me it was just um keep going

<<1713>> and I never rewarded myself in terms of

<<1717>> really being proud of myself I just

<<1719>> pushed through and you know more there's

<<1722>> more to achieve and um in 2020 by the

<<1726>> end of 2020 when I hit Blue Diamond um I

<<1730>> met Christian and you know then I had

<<1734>> someone watching me on a daily basis and

<<1736>> really telling me how much I actually do

<<1740>> how because and this the Terra business

<<1743>> sorry it doesn't feel like work still

<<1745>> it's not work for me but is you know so

<<1748>> I need time to recover um and I could

<<1753>> feel it sometimes with you know symptoms

<<1756>> of my body really telling me hey you

<<1758>> need to

<<1759>> rest and I think within the last year

<<1762>> and people tell me that so I know it's

<<1765>> true it's happening a lot of things

<<1767>> change I watch my energy I think I'm

<<1770>> softer I'm maybe more feminine in a way

<<1775>> of because the feminine energy is also

<<1778>> the energy of receiving and

<<1780>> allowing of letting go a little bit

<<1784>> surrendering and the male energy is more

<<1788>> of ah I push through I you know I go so

<<1792>> do you think you were in um in your

<<1795>> masculine energy for quite a long time I

<<1798>> think so yes and I think a lot of people

<<1801>> or a lot of women can relate I I talked

<<1804>> about this a lot and it's also because

<<1806>> we come from a time really dominated in

<<1810>> general by that energy and there is a

<<1813>> shift happening right now and I think

<<1815>> everyone can feel that shift you know

<<1818>> and it's about that the the feminine

<<1823>> doesn't have to

<<1825>> be doesn't have to carry that male

<<1829>> energy within I mean we are both it's a

<<1832>> it's like a dance between both and I

<<1835>> think you cannot just say oh I'm just on

<<1838>> the one side or I'm just on the other

<<1840>> side even men have and this is like man

<<1844>> Christian is one of those guys allowing

<<1846>> feelings and to to communicate that he

<<1850>> loves to hang out with a lot of women

<<1853>> and he still feels comfortable it's it's

<<1855>> like you know a person who is sensitive

<<1858>> enough um to yeah to also to feel the

<<1862>> other person and I think we embody both

<<1866>> and um I think there's a new also way

<<1870>> for us women to do this business I

<<1873>> absolutely love that that could be part

<<1874>> of a whole other podcast where we just

<<1876>> talk about feminine and masculine energy

<<1879>> maybe and still yeah and it's still it's

<<1881>> about the nourishing Parts I think if

<<1884>> you also for example this is something

<<1887>> new new to me as well um as a woman you

<<1892>> mostly have still your moon cycle you

<<1894>> know and you also need to respect that

<<1896>> not every day is the same um when you're

<<1900>> in the beginning of your cycle you might

<<1902>> need to rest a little more um and for me

<<1905>> I since two three months I realized that

<<1910>> I can honor my body a bit more when I'm

<<1914>> going through that um there are other

<<1916>> cultures where this is

<<1918>> more natural for women to do they they

<<1920>> just you know they have a tent and they

<<1922>> lay there and they get served with you

<<1925>> know um and and I think this is

<<1927>> beautiful also to talk about this

<<1929>> because this business you know should or

<<1934>> allows us you know this is probably more

<<1937>> the word it allows us to to really pay

<<1940>> attention also to those times um or yeah

<<1945>> when we just feel we need a break we

<<1947>> need to rest

<<1948>> because if you hold space for so many

<<1950>> other people in your team again you know

<<1953>> just coming out of the retreat um I I

<<1955>> hold the space for a lot of

<<1957>> people it it's tiring a bit Yeah I think

<<1961>> we live in a society that teaches us

<<1963>> that it's always go time you know it's

<<1965>> always go go go do do do so it it really

<<1968>> it's about relearning and rewiring

<<1971>> ourselves a little bit maybe to allow

<<1973>> that moment of rest like no actually I

<<1975>> need that in in order to be able to

<<1978>> serve uh to serve other better totally

<<1981>> totally right um because if and this is

<<1985>> I think linked still to the idea or the

<<1989>> pattern we we have in ourselves that we

<<1992>> need to perform to be worth it um and

<<1996>> that just through performance on the

<<1998>> outside we deserve

<<2001>> something and we need to break that

<<2003>> pattern within us and this comes with

<<2006>> healing with going to the parts of our

<<2010>> self that still think that they need to

<<2015>> perform and it's not about not

<<2017>> performing you know but it's it's not

<<2019>> the performance we like okay I you know

<<2022>> people praising themselves working 80

<<2025>> hours a week for example you know you

<<2028>> can do it for you know certain times in

<<2031>> your life you know but I think when you

<<2033>> grow older or when you choose a network

<<2038>> you get aware that this is not probably

<<2041>> the lifestyle you really want MH yeah oh

<<2046>> Daniel I think I could speak about this

<<2049>> for a very very long time but um I do

<<2051>> have a couple more question for you so

<<2053>> one is if you could go back in time and

<<2055>> speak with your younger selves what

<<2058>> advice would you give you comparing

<<2060>> yourself now to Danny when you started

<<2063>> the business the advice would be girl

<<2066>> relax a little bit you you know recharge

<<2069>> yourself after you've achieved something

<<2072>> amazing um be proud of yourself you

<<2075>> really have to learn to be proud of

<<2077>> yourself clap on your own shoulders and

<<2080>> um recognize yourself for everything you

<<2085>> do yeah this is really something someone

<<2088>> told me I have a lot of also spiritual

<<2090>> coaches and and people you know

<<2092>> supporting me in the background and she

<<2094>> told me once really dannie you need to

<<2096>> learn that you need need to be proud of

<<2098>> yourself and then Christian was

<<2101>> reminding me in the beginning is like

<<2103>> have you been proud of yourself like

<<2104>> each day because there's always

<<2106>> something we can be so proud of um

<<2110>> ourselves so how do you keep track with

<<2112>> that um gratitude now uh today do you

<<2116>> have like a Tracker do you have like a

<<2117>> moment of

<<2119>> gratitude I think it's constantly more

<<2121>> or less you know but when I go to bed

<<2125>> and we we have a really comfy bed you

<<2127>> know I lay there and I'm

<<2129>> like this is amazing and I thank for

<<2132>> that day even when there were

<<2134>> challenging conversations or stuff

<<2136>> because those are actually the moments

<<2138>> where we can grow and where I can

<<2141>> practice what I've learned in yoga in

<<2145>> the course of

<<2147>> Miracles and and I can reflect and I

<<2149>> think being grateful even for the things

<<2154>> where you're like oh I don't want it

<<2156>> that way

<<2158>> remember you know the universe is a

<<2160>> friendly one knowing that this is

<<2163>> happening for you this is happening

<<2166>> actually for you know something where

<<2169>> you might you know see it differently

<<2172>> later or you know I don't know why in

<<2175>> that moment but it will make sense at

<<2177>> some time in the future the last

<<2181>> question I have for you Danny is how

<<2183>> would you describe yourself in one word

<<2185>> and

<<2186>> why a lot of people told that to me

<<2189>> Lighthouse or Miracle Worker no but the

<<2193>> lighthouse is is I think uh a very nice

<<2197>> analogy to I you know as I connect

<<2202>> myself to

<<2204>> those Universal energies um to to a

<<2207>> loving presence I you know I feel myself

<<2212>> with light and that shines on the path

<<2216>> of others so they can walk their path

<<2219>> it's not about me dragging someone this

<<2222>> is very important also in the business

<<2225>> everyone has a free will and we cannot

<<2228>> force someone and even if we think

<<2231>> someone is so you know so perfect for

<<2234>> the business you know there's always

<<2237>> Divine timing what I can do as a

<<2241>> lighthouse shine even brighter like the

<<2244>> boat so they can find their way home

<<2247>> going to shore to the harbor and um yeah

<<2251>> so I really consider myself as one of

<<2254>> those light workers energy workers um or

<<2258>> with the course miracle workers because

<<2261>> they choose actually always love is an

<<2264>> answer and I know how difficult it is I

<<2267>> fail a lot because this is really hard

<<2270>> you know to be connected to love all the

<<2272>> time but um you get better on it because

<<2276>> it's like almost like an inner muscle

<<2279>> you're training I was just talking about

<<2281>> that the past days to the people it's

<<2283>> like you need to go to a kind of

<<2286>> spiritual gym you know you need to kind

<<2288>> of train your attitudinal muscle so you

<<2292>> able to switch back even when your ego

<<2296>> tells you you know to fight or to judge

<<2299>> or you know

<<2300>> to to go after someone just coming back

<<2305>> to your own peace of mind

<<2308>> coming back and knowing and this is very

<<2311>> important that we're all one and

<<2314>> whatever you give into a field it's like

<<2318>> an energy field whatever you give into

<<2320>> your

<<2321>> team you will

<<2323>> receive you receive what you give and if

<<2328>> you want to receive something you need

<<2330>> to be willing to give it first it's like

<<2333>> a cycle it's like a you know it it all

<<2336>> goes around you know what comes around

<<2338>> goes around you know and this is there

<<2340>> are some universal laws and I know Elena

<<2344>> has spoken here also and I know also

<<2347>> that she lives by those laws and I see

<<2349>> people thriving um in the business

<<2352>> having the higher ranks and I know

<<2355>> they're connected to something so much

<<2357>> bigger and greater than just their human

<<2361>> presence I absolutely adore the the

<<2363>> metaphor the analysis that you made uh

<<2366>> with the lighthouse I think you

<<2368>> definitely are a guide for many people

<<2370>> in the business uh and you are an

<<2372>> inspiration so thank you for being so um

<<2375>> gracious and generous to share your

<<2377>> knowledge and your vision with me today

<<2380>> but with all the listeners as well um I

<<2383>> learned a lot I think we're always

<<2385>> learning you know if you just to to end

<<2388>> it all if you have an attitude of oh

<<2392>> this is interesting if you if you're

<<2395>> open to always be willing to learn you

<<2399>> know because there is no end there is no

<<2403>> end to that path we're all walking but

<<2407>> we can take each other's hand sometimes

<<2410>> physically sometimes just you know

<<2412>> metaphorically and we walk each other

<<2414>> home and home is you not not not your

<<2418>> physical home home is a place where we

<<2422>> all feel connected home is a place where

<<2425>> we feel whole and and um yeah and I

<<2429>> think a lot of people joining DOA and

<<2432>> the DOA family feel like they're coming

<<2436>> home this is my to themselves yeah and

<<2439>> also to a tribe of people sharing the

<<2442>> same vision um having the same values

<<2445>> and I think this

<<2447>> is this is something that is so special

<<2449>> about DOA and the whole you know culture

<<2453>> that is lived also by our founders

<<2457>> family R and everyone you know being so

<<2461>> true with that thank you again Danny

<<2481>> story to end you know someone asked me
