We are back for another episode of Mind Your Own Beeswax. My name is Grace,

Intro

SPEAKER_01 0:15

and I am coming in hot today with another book club episode. I am going to fill you in and tell you all of my hot tips and my hot takes from this week's book, Visualize by Maya Raitura. This is one of my top book recommendations ever. If you ask me for a recommendation of a book, Visualise is absolutely one of the books that I'm going to recommend to you. I will also always recommend The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Love that book. Last time we did the book club for Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, that is also one of my top recommendations. Atomic Habits by James Clear. And then I am currently reading a book which I can see myself putting in my top books ever, and I will probably do an episode on it. It's called The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher. It is one of the best books I've ever read. I'm halfway through it, but I've only been reading it for like two days. And every page I read, I'm like, oh my god, highlighting, sticky noting, like it is just blowing my mind. And I love when I find a book like that that I just connect with and I'm like, oh, I cannot wait to share this message. And that's what this episode is about. I want this episode to be the lazy girl's guide. If you can't be fucked to read a book, for lack of a better word, you can just listen to this episode. 20 minutes, I'm gonna give you all the information you need. You don't need to read the book, but if you do, you can do that as well. So strap in and let's dive into Visualize by Maya Raichura. So I originally picked up this book Visualize about two, maybe one and a half, two years ago, and I purchased it with the intention to learn about visualization because I've heard a lot of great things about visualization, how powerful it is, how you can use it for lots of different areas of your life, and how you can use it to really tap into your manifestations of your goals. But this book really gave me a very different perspective and it was very practical. So I hope that's what you can get from today's episode that you can visualize for all different things of your life, and it is really, really easy to do. So the background of this book, the author Maya, starts the intro basically talking about how

Visualise by Maya Richoora background

SPEAKER_01 2:28

when she was about 16 or 17, she was super healthy, a very sporty individual, and she unfortunately came down with the condition colitis, which is I think it affects your bowels and it sounds horrible, but she became so sick with this condition, she ended up in the hospital, living there for months and months, and she became so sick that she actually physically couldn't walk or get out of bed. Which, if you're 16, 17, what a nightmare. You're not at school, you're not seeing your friends, being bedridden for anybody of any age is awful. But you can imagine as a teenager, it just would have been awful. And she talks about how she was worried she wouldn't finish high school, she's worried she wouldn't get into college, she just felt like her life was over. One day laying in bed, Maya talks about how she was just laying there feeling sorry for herself, she'd been crying, and a nurse had said to her, Maya, if you weren't in the hospital right now, where would you be? And she kind of just sort of really sat with that and she kept thinking and thinking and thinking, and what she realized is that she just wanted to be able to get up and walk around. That's all she wanted was to be able to walk. And so she would have these daydreams where she would imagine herself walking or visualize herself walking, and she would visualize, visualize, visualize just how it would feel to walk, where she would walk, what she would do. And after a few days, she was up and walking again, and then she just kept using this technique to get her out of the hospital, get back into school. She would visualize all these things, and that's where she realized the power in visualization. So, spoiler alert, she got healthy, she overcame that bout of illness. I think colitis is something that is lifelong, but she really used visualization to heal herself and get back to her regular life. So, inspired by all of this, the author Maya went on and studied sports psychology, and she specialized in studying the top 1% of athletes. And that's what this book is called. It's called Visualize, Think, Feel, Perform like the Top 1%. And there's a lot of stories within this book about some incredible athletes and how they used visualization. So through her research, Maya came up with this concept of mental fitness. And if you look her up on Instagram, I think her username is Maya Mental Fitness. She talks about mental health as a type of fitness. You know, we do weight training, we do cardio, we do all these things for our body. We're not doing those same kind of things for her mind. So that's her whole business model, and she actually was hired by Nike. Nike have official sports trainers for all their ambassador programs or influencer programs, and she's the first ever mental trainer sponsored by Nike, which I think is pretty damn cool. So this chick knows what she is talking about. So why visualization and why is it so powerful? Well, my biggest learning from this book that blew my mind was

Your brain can't tell what is real

SPEAKER_01 5:28

that your brain does not know the difference between reality and your imagination. So when you are visualizing something, you're not just imagining it, you are training your brain to experience it. And that is the whole concept of the book is that when you visualize something, you are training your mind and you are training your body to already experience something. So when that shows up in your life, you are ready and you can make the absolute most of it. To get a little bit sciencey here, which I am not a sciencey in the details, technical gal, but what I learned from this book is the concept of neuroplasticity. So this is the brain's ability to change, rewire, and repair itself. Neuroscientists have discovered that the brain is extremely adaptable, and while you cannot grow new neurons, you can create new connections between them. Now, the perfect example of a neural pathway is brushing your teeth, right? You don't have to think about it, your body just knows what to do, and that neural pathway is so strong you do it without thinking, right? You wake up in the morning, you brush your teeth, before you go to bed at night, you brush your teeth. Now, visualization allows you to create those neural pathways for something new so that when you experience it, that pathway is already there and it helps it get stronger and stronger and stronger. Let's do a little visualization together here so that you can see just how powerful the power of visualization truly is. So if you want to close your eyes, close your eyes. But if you're driving or walking, I obviously don't advise you to close your eyes, but I guarantee this will still work. That's how powerful it is. So

Visualisation test yourself

SPEAKER_01 7:09

I want you to visualize yourself in your kitchen standing in front of your fridge. I want you to open up the fridge and you can see a lemon. The lemon is cut in half and you can see the inside of the lemon. I want you to grab that lemon, hold it in your hand. Can you feel the lemon in your hand? Bring the lemon close to your face and smell it. Can you smell that citrusy smell? Can you smell that acidity? Does it sort of make your mouth kind of tingle or water at all? Now open your mouth and squeeze the lemon into your mouth. Squeeze some lemon juice onto your tongue. Can you feel that tingly sensation? Do your cheeks kind of suck in? Does your throat kind of tighten and your your jaw sort of tingles at that sourness? What does it feel like? Did you feel anything? We didn't actually taste the lemon, but when I do that visualization, especially like the bottom of my jaw, it sort of like sucks inwards with that like sourness. Did your body have a physical reaction just then? That is the power of visualization because your brain cannot tell the difference between what is imagined and what is real. And when you visualize something like a lemon, your body can have that same physical reaction, whether you're imagining a lemon or having a real lemon. That's the power here, and that's what is absolutely mind-blowing, is you can really trick your brain, and that's what we're gonna do today. We are going to trick our brains through the power of visualization. I personally really love visualization, and when I look back on my life and I think about maybe my childhood specifically, I think I've always been good at daydreaming or I've always had a very strong imagination. So perhaps visualization comes quite easily to someone like myself. I think about when I was a kid. I remember like, you know, when you're sort of of that age where you have an imaginary friend. I remember for whatever reason I had an imaginary garden. Like I remember imagining planting plants in the garden and watering the garden. I can remember that better than some memories. You know, when someone says to you, hey, do you remember that time? And I'm like, nah, I never remember. But I remember that imaginary garden I had when I was like, oh, maybe like six or seven at the time. And that is insane to me, but I think that is the power of visualization, is that my brain cannot tell the difference between fake or real. So my brain can't remember if that memory actually happened or actually didn't. Isn't that just crazy? Perhaps you're a bit different to me, and visualization or daydream or imagination, perhaps it doesn't come easy to you. And that's okay. Visualization is like a muscle, and we can learn how to use it and learn how to turn it on and turn it off. I do want to put in a little disclaimer. In this book, she actually says that there is a small percentage of people, maybe like 1%, who actually cannot visualize things. So there's a technical term for this, I'm not going to try and pronounce it. But if you really struggle with it, look that up. Because if I say, imagine a dog on a surfboard, can you see that in your head? A dog on a surfboard. If that's something you can't see, perhaps you have this condition, so maybe look into it. But for the most of us, we can visualize. So let's learn how to use this muscle and make the most of visualization. In chapter five of this book, Maya breaks down the

5 Types of Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 10:42

five different kinds of visualization that she has. So there's five different types and they all serve a different purpose. The first kind of visualization, which I personally think is the easiest, is called

Outcome Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 10:53

outcome visualization. This is where you create a clear mental image or a rehearsal of results in advance. It's like seeing the end of a movie. Outcome visualization, I really think, is when you have a goal in mind and you just visualize that goal coming true. So if you have a goal to run a marathon, you're visualizing yourself crossing the finish line. If you have a goal of buying a house, you visualize yourself out the front of the house with the big sold sign. Whatever your goal is, outcome visualization is just simply visualizing that goal coming true. I think this is a really easy one, and if you have any kind of goal in mind, you can do it. Whether it's a goal to travel to a destination, lose a certain amount of weight, complete a race or an event, moving house, you can easily imagine that situation happening, and that's it. Just visualize that end goal. This is something I have absolutely done in the past, and very specifically with my trip to New York, I would visualize myself on Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, honestly, like every day. Like I would go on a walk every afternoon and I would listen to that song New York by Alicia Keys and Jay-Z, and I would just visualize myself being on the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset and it being amazing. And you best believe when I got to Brooklyn Bridge, that sunset was amazing, and I had the time of my life because I had visualized it and I'd lived it before. My brain was like, wow, I'm back in this place that I've been several times. It was incredible. I'm currently using visualization. We all know I've been banging on about getting a thousand downloads on this podcast. So I visualize logging into my program and seeing that number 1000. I'm visualizing that. I'm visualizing that end goal. Our second type of

Process Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 12:46

visualization is called process visualization. This is mentally rehearsing a process or a task to make it easier, faster, or better. For example, public speaking, sports performance, or sales calls. This is really the next step in visualization. So perhaps you've done your outcome visualization, you've visualized your goal. This is where you can visualize getting there. So I love using the example of training for a marathon. This is where you can visualize your training. So you can visualize yourself getting up and out of bed in the morning. You can visualize yourself having a training run. You can visualize yourself ticking that off on your to-do list for the day. You can visualize yourself after the workout feeling really good. This is a great way to build those neural pathways so that when you're in that moment of performance, your body knows how to respond. I think this is a great one as well. The book says specifically about public speaking. So maybe you've got to do a speech at school or at work, or maybe you are presenting at an event. You can visualize yourself in that moment speaking. You can visualize people asking you questions and visualize yourself responding. This is really great to almost just like have a practice. It's like a mental rehearsal. Visualize yourself in that moment. How do you feel? What are you saying? What are you doing? How do you look? How is your body moving? Really visualizing those details. And I think for myself, public speaking is the main one here if I'm presenting or even this podcast, like quite often I will visualize myself. And I did this on Friday when I was recording an episode. I sat down and I was like, I'm gonna do a little two-minute visualization, and I'm gonna visualize myself recording a great episode and it's gonna flow really easy. And I did, I just sat there and I visualized myself speaking and it just being really good. And you know what? We got there, it was a great episode. So, how can you visualize a process, a method, whatever it is, how can you visualize the workings behind your goal? Our third

Creative Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 14:55

kind of visualization is called creative visualization. So using visualization to make an emotion, sensation, or feeling more tangible. This is really good for increased emotional awareness, intelligence, agility, managing pain or stress, or even recovery from an injury. It's actually been seen to be able to boost your health and immunity. So this is certainly the kind of visualization Maya, the author, would have used when she was laying in the hospital. She was visualizing feeling better, visualizing that healing. This is how you could do it. And I think about myself recently, I was really sick with a stomach bug, and I was just laying there visualizing how good I would feel in my body when I was healthy again, and I would really tap into those feelings and I would think about how good my body was gonna feel. This is a great one for health. So if you have a health condition at the moment, maybe you have an injury, can you really focus on how it's gonna feel in your body when you feel better? And can you just really visualize that healing, how good your body will feel? I think this is a really powerful one. It's also one where you can tap into emotion. So if you have a goal, perhaps that is quite an emotional one, maybe you want to, maybe you want to find love or find a new relationship. This is a great one for that. Can you visualize how good that new relationship is gonna feel? Can you visualize and feel that love, that connection, and that joy? And that is a really great way to create those neural pathways, as I said, and your body will know how to respond when the time is right. The fourth

Negative Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 16:37

kind of visualization is a bit of a tricky one, and I find this quite hard to practice, but I reckon it has the strongest results. This is called negative visualization, mentally rehearsing the worst case scenario or a really challenging situation. I think I struggle with this one because I just don't like imagining negative things. I am probably very guilty of toxic posity. I love saying and visualizing positive things. So for me, visualizing something negative doesn't come naturally, but I think there is a lot of power in it. As an example, I feel like in a work situation, let's say you're going into a meeting with multiple people, right? And because there's a lot of people in the meeting, it can go very different ways. Everybody's chucking their two cents in. So you can really use this visualization to play out lots of different scenarios. Perhaps there's lots of options that you're discussing. Can you visualize all different options and opinions? What would you say in response to that? You know, if one person says yes, one person says no, how can you visualize your responses in those scenarios? What about if you are going for a job interview? Can you visualize the interview not going well? Visualize them asking you a question that has you stumped, or maybe they ask you, what's your worst quality? I hate when people ask me that. Can you visualize a bit of a negative situation or something that just throws you off and visualize yourself responding to it? Now we're creating those neural pathways so that when that happens and when you get thrown off or something turns to shit, you will know how to respond because your brain has already been through that scenario. You've got that neural pathway, and your body will be like, right, I know what to do and say, let's go.

Explorative Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 18:32

The fifth and final type of visualization is called explorative visualization. Generating and evaluating ideas as well as problem solving. This is good for efficient problem solving, generating ideas, and boosting creativity. Explorative visualization is really good if you are feeling lost, if you're feeling kind of stumped by an issue, or like you just don't know where you're going. So I think this is something that if you perhaps are lacking purpose in life, you don't know your direction, you feel like you don't have any goals, this is the kind of visualization where you can just let your mind wander. And one of my favorite exercises that I've heard of in the past is that what is your dream day in the life? So if you don't know what you want in life, what is your dream day in the life? And I would recommend visualizing a day of the week where you've got to go to work. Can you start your visualization by where are you waking up? What does the room look like around you? What do you do once you wake up? How do you get to work? How long do you work for? Where do you work? How do you feel when you're at work? What do you do for lunch that day? What does your afternoon look like? What are you doing for dinner? What's your evening look like? Where in the world are you? Ask yourself all those kind of questions and then just let your mind wander and see what comes up. See what things you perhaps didn't know. Maybe you visualize yourself and you are living by the beach and you go, ooh, I didn't know I wanted to live by the beach, but that kind of came really naturally to my visualization. And perhaps that then helps you develop a goal of realizing you want to move closer to the beach or buying a home by the beach or finding a job that's in a coastal location. Really allow your mind to wander. This is also great for problem solving. So perhaps you maybe you're struggling with an issue at work, right? And you don't know what the outcome is. Can you visualize that? Visualize that situation and then just visualize all different kinds of outcomes. If you have a few outcomes in mind that possibly could happen, let them play out in visualization. And again, just let your mind wander and see what comes up. Because I guarantee you, when you create that space and you let your mind just wander, a lot of incredible things will come up. And perhaps they weren't things that you would have naturally thought about, but when you make that space, they pop up and they might even solve your problem. Those were our five types of visualization: outcome, processed, creative, negative, and explorative. Did any of those feel natural to you? Do you feel like you might have a go at them? Do you feel like you do them already? Since

How I am using Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 21:24

reading this book, the outcome visualization is something that I really actively do, and I certainly visualize my goal, but I think I combine it with that explorative visualization where when I'm visualizing, I visualize my perfect day in the life. So I do this full thing of where I wake up, what I do in the morning, where I go to work, when I come home, what I do in the evening. That has become my visualization. I do. Because for me, that really encompasses my dream life. I imagine my home. I imagine how I feel in my body, I imagine the People around me. I imagine my finances, my car, what I'm doing for work. I really imagine every single element of my life. And that for me, visualizing the ultimate day in my life, it comes really naturally. It helps me reconnect with my goals if I feel like I'm falling a little bit off track. And it just feels really good. So that's my ultimate outcome visualization. Negative visualization is the other one. I think I have been practicing on a bit more of a smaller scale. I think I just will visualize multiple different outcomes of a situation and allowing myself to visualize and practice responding to it. And I think it makes you a bit more comfortable, you know, especially if you're having a difficult conversation with a person. I think when you do that negative visualization, you imagine perhaps you're visualizing having a tough conversation with a friend, right? Visualize them getting mad at you. And then you can really allow your body to experience, well, how am I going to react in that situation? So for me, outcome and negative visualization are the two that I'm actively practicing in my life. Like I said at the start of this episode, this book really focuses in on the top 1% of athletes, and there's a lot of really cool stories from multiple different people. But I

How Michael Phelps used Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 23:20

want to read you the one here about Michael Phelps. So he is that American swimmer. He openly credits much of his success to being mentally prepared and using visualization. In a Forbes interview, he said the following I would visualize how the race could go, how I didn't want the race to go, and in a perfect world, how I wanted it to go. If you're not doing the preparation beforehand, you won't get the results. And the chapter further breaks down how Michael Phelps would actually go sit in the grandstand of the stadium that he was going to swim in and he would visualize himself in the race. How incredible that he would visualize how it could go, what the worst case could be, and what the dream case could be. So perhaps in that race, if he wasn't doing well and he was struggling or he was feeling slow or someone was beating him, he knew what he needed to do to shift gears and to win because he had already visualized. So in that moment, when you've got that split second to make a decision and you've got to change what you're doing, because he had already visualized that, he would have been able to just shift gears and send it. He wouldn't have had to, you know, think about it or make a plan. When you visualize ahead of time, you know how to pivot and move quickly. And likewise, because he had visualized how a great race would feel, he was able to tap into that and he knew what he should do, and he knew what it should feel like. There's this other really good visualization story that I've heard, and I wish I could remember where I heard it from. It may even have been in one of David Gogg's books, or I don't know if it was Atomic Habits. It's a book that I've read and it tells this story. I think it was like back in like the early 1900s, and there was a man that loved playing golf, and I think he had a pretty solid handicap. But he ended up going to war and he was captured, and he was a prisoner of war for I think multiple years, and he was kept in this really small room, he couldn't get out. It sounded horrible. But the thing that got him through, he said, is that he would visualize playing golf. So he visualized his local course and he would visualize every day playing the full 18 holes of golf. And years later, thankfully, he was released, he got to go back to his home country, and the first thing he wanted to do was play golf. And that first game of golf he played was the best round of golf of his entire life. And he put it down to the fact that he was visualizing because he had played that round of golf every single day, multiple times a day for years on end. And so he knew exactly how the club needed to feel in his hands. He knew exactly where he needed to hit the ball. He knew exactly what all different kinds of wind and weather would do. That is the power of visualization that you can imagine a scenario for years on end, and when it happens, you are absolutely primed and ready to make the most of it. I really love that story, and I just think there is so much power in visualization. If you would like to have a go at visualization, I'm going to talk you through the way that this book tells you to prepare and to end each visualization. So there are multiple visualizations that are specifically guided and have different outcomes in this book, but this is the basic formula.

How to get in the zone to Visualise

SPEAKER_01 26:42

So to begin your visualization, you always want to be seated. The book explains that you shouldn't be laying down because you don't want to be too relaxed, too comfortable. And I don't know about you, but sometimes when I lay down and I'm visualizing or meditating, you might even fall asleep. So you want to be seated in a really comfortable position so you feel relaxed, but because you're seated upwards, you're focused. You want to close your eyes so that you remove any distractions and you're really just focused on going inside yourself and visualizing. Each visualization in this book then will always begin with five deep breaths. So really, really slow breaths. Think in for four, hold for four, exhale for four. And then after your five breaths, you want to take a moment of stillness. So just pause and then begin. And that's how you start each visualization. And then you kind of backtrack at the end. So at the end, once you're done, have your five deep breaths in for four, hold for four, exhale for four, take your moment of stillness, and then open your eyes. It's really, really simple, and I really have adapted that intro. So the five breaths and a moment of stillness at the start in the end. And it really just helps you to get into that relaxed space, open your mind to visualize, and then it really signifies ending the visualization. And that is it. We are at the end of Visualize. So if you want to check the book out for yourself, it is called Visualization by Maya Raichura. You can get it on Amazon. I've seen it in a few of my local bookstores. It's really fantastic. And if you want to know more, search the author Maya Mental Fitness on Instagram. She's got some really great content. And if she's good enough for Nike, she is good enough for us here at Mind Your Own Beeswax. Are you gonna have a goal at visualization yourself? If I can give you a challenge, can you visualize for five minutes a day for the next seven days? That's it. Just take five minutes. It could be the morning, it could be the afternoon, whatever it is. Spend five minutes just doing this. Take your five deep breaths, take a moment of stillness, do some visualization, take your five breaths, have a moment of stillness, and then just go back to your day. Pick a goal, pick a situation, pick a scenario, pick a process, whatever it is that you want to focus on this week, do five minutes of visualization every single day. I really like visualizing at the start of my day. Quite often I'll just do five minutes and I'll just visualize my workday. I'll visualize myself writing my to-do list, I'll visualize myself being really productive, I'll visualize myself feeling really fulfilled, and then I'll visualize myself at the end of the day ticking it off. And that's it, it's nothing crazy, but starting your day with that visualization and just imagining having a really good, a really productive day, I guarantee you it's gonna make you have a bloody good day. I also really love visualizing when I'm on a walk. And this is something I learned from Atomic Habits, and they talk about habit stacking. So can you visualize while you're already doing something? So, yes, this book talks about sitting and being really intentional with your visualization. But if you're a time

Hacks to practice Visualisation

SPEAKER_01 30:08

poor girly and you just need to get on with your life, can you visualize and stack it with something else? So if you're going for a walk, can you put on some music that's kind of to the vibe of your visualization and do a visualization walk? I love doing this. I'll put on a hot playlist and I will just visualize. I did this a lot when I was going to America and I would put on a really fun party playlist like some pit bull, some Flowrider. This is when I would visualize going to Las Vegas and I just visualize having the best time, having so much fun, dancing, drinking, winning on the pokies. I would really just tap into that visualization and I just would do it while I was walking. So I was getting in my steps for the day whilst also visualizing. Can you do this while you're cleaning? If you need to clean, can you put your ear pods in and do a visualization while you're cleaning? Could you do it while you're cooking dinner? Could you do it while you're, I don't know, putting the kids to bed and they're just like laying there quietly. Can you just do a little visualization in your mind? Could you do it? I'm gonna I was gonna say, could you do it while you're driving? I feel like I should not be recommending that, but you know, sometimes I definitely do it. I'll put on a playlist and I'll just let my mind wander while I'm driving. As long as you can do it safely. Think about ways. How can you stack something that you're already doing that's probably something really boring, really mindless. Can you do some visualization while you're ticking that off your to-do list? I would also recommend that if you're gonna try visualizing for the first time, there's a beautiful song called Grow by Face Soul, like Face F-A-C-E-S-O-U-L. If you need a bit of help visualizing, that's a great song that really just has a good flow and a good energy to it. Pop that song on and do a visualization of an outcome, a goal, a situation, a process, whatever it is that you want to visualize, just do it to the length of that song. And when the song finishes, finish with your five breaths. It's a really short and easy way to start and just make the first step in your visualization journey. And I think when you have a song that associates you with something, it makes it easier and easier each time. So before you know it, you'll hear that song come on, and your mind will be like, oh, let's go, let's get those neural pathways firing. It'll be easier. Like I said, visualization is a muscle. The more you use it, the easier it will be. And before you know it, you'll be visualizing your whole life. I am gonna continue visualizing my dream day in the life. I'm gonna keep visualizing a thousand downloads, imagining that number 1000 on my podcast portal. And also this week I'm going away for a weekend with my friends. So I'm gonna do some visualization of that weekend and just visualize and do sort of that creative visualization and really just imagine the feelings, how fun it's gonna feel, how relaxed I'm gonna feel, how connected I'm gonna feel. I'm really gonna just allow myself to have that creative visualization so that when I'm there, I'm having the best time, I'm really present, and I've set those really beautiful intentions for a good time because I've already visualized it. That is it, my friends. Thank you so much for joining me today. One of my big visualizations, obviously, in my dream life is being a full-time successful podcaster, taking over the world with Mind Your Own Beeswax. So thank you for being here with me and thank you for helping my dreams come true. I'm so grateful for your support.

If you have any book requests, please let me know. I am currently reading The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher, and wow, she is an incredible book. I am obsessed, and I reckon that possibly might be my next book club episode. And fun fact, Jefferson Fisher is actually coming to Australia later in the year, and I got tickets, so maybe I will wait until I've been to the live show before doing that episode. Because how good is that gonna be? Imagine me doing a book review and then I've listened to the author in person. Wow, it's gonna be good. So thank you for joining me today. I hope this episode finds you at a time you need it the most, and as always, love you. Bye.
