1
00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:03.205
Finding love really re manifested in finding love
2
00:00:03.205 –> 00:00:04.565
of myself first, right?
3
00:00:04.705 –> 00:00:08.085
So the course helped me uncover that, uh,
4
00:00:08.225 –> 00:00:11.525
and I think that really established myself
5
00:00:11.625 –> 00:00:13.525
and in the ability to have confidence.
6
00:00:18.545 –> 00:00:20.925
Hey everybody, welcome to the Ready for Love podcast.
7
00:00:21.175 –> 00:00:24.045
Today we are joined by one of our Ready for Love graduates,
8
00:00:24.365 –> 00:00:26.205
Kimberly, and I’m so excited that she’s here.
9
00:00:26.225 –> 00:00:29.205
Of course, I always love when women are courageous
10
00:00:29.205 –> 00:00:30.765
and brave enough to share their stories,
11
00:00:30.765 –> 00:00:33.485
because this is really just so personal for so many women.
12
00:00:34.025 –> 00:00:35.565
But when women share their story,
13
00:00:35.825 –> 00:00:37.205
it really helps other women
14
00:00:37.225 –> 00:00:39.245
who are listening hear themselves
15
00:00:39.265 –> 00:00:40.565
and see themselves in each other
16
00:00:40.745 –> 00:00:43.085
and maybe reach out to get help that they need.
17
00:00:43.225 –> 00:00:45.845
So let’s welcome Kimberly. Hello,
18
00:00:46.285 –> 00:00:47.285
Kimberly. Hi.
19
00:00:47.285 –> 00:00:48.965
Nice to be here.
20
00:00:49.585 –> 00:00:50.845
Oh, so happy to talk to you.
21
00:00:51.345 –> 00:00:54.205
Um, I reached out because I saw on Facebook that you
22
00:00:54.225 –> 00:00:56.485
and your honey went on a long trip together,
23
00:00:56.905 –> 00:00:58.965
and I was like, oh, yeah, it’s happening.
24
00:00:59.065 –> 00:01:01.805
So I gotta reach out and, and find out more.
25
00:01:01.945 –> 00:01:04.805
So we’re gonna talk all about where you’re at now, but
26
00:01:04.805 –> 00:01:07.925
before we get there, um, if you could,
27
00:01:07.945 –> 00:01:09.645
if we could just start with a little bit about
28
00:01:09.655 –> 00:01:12.485
where you were when you found me and you reached out.
29
00:01:12.485 –> 00:01:13.565
Like what were you struggling with?
30
00:01:13.565 –> 00:01:15.365
What was painful for you? What was happening?
31
00:01:15.785 –> 00:01:18.885
Oh, gosh. Um, well, it was 2021.
32
00:01:20.985 –> 00:01:24.125
Um, in the, in the midst of kind of like the beginning
33
00:01:24.125 –> 00:01:25.205
of the COVID lockdown.
34
00:01:25.525 –> 00:01:29.245
I think guys, I was actually really, um,
35
00:01:30.545 –> 00:01:33.845
really struggling personally and professionally.
36
00:01:34.265 –> 00:01:38.525
Um, it had been 13 years since I got divorced,
37
00:01:38.905 –> 00:01:41.845
and I had been really resisting any kind
38
00:01:41.845 –> 00:01:42.845
of serious relationship.
39
00:01:43.585 –> 00:01:45.685
Um, and I think it was, maybe it was a, you know,
40
00:01:45.685 –> 00:01:49.125
combination of COVID, perimenopause, you know, my job
41
00:01:49.865 –> 00:01:52.845
not being happy and being isolated that I was like,
42
00:01:53.805 –> 00:01:55.165
I really need to change something.
43
00:01:55.385 –> 00:01:57.245
And it was literally out of nowhere.
44
00:01:57.485 –> 00:01:59.565
I feel like the universe was listening to me,
45
00:01:59.585 –> 00:02:03.125
and like, your video, your website or video came to me
46
00:02:03.465 –> 00:02:04.525
and I was like, oh my goodness.
47
00:02:04.555 –> 00:02:07.005
Like, this is exactly what I’m looking for.
48
00:02:07.825 –> 00:02:09.205
Um, and yeah, and,
49
00:02:09.345 –> 00:02:11.605
and it was the best decision I ever made, so,
50
00:02:11.865 –> 00:02:13.485
Oh my gosh, I love to hear that.
51
00:02:13.545 –> 00:02:15.085
And yeah, everybody was struggling.
52
00:02:15.165 –> 00:02:18.045
I mean, our business more than tripled in COVID. Yeah.
53
00:02:18.145 –> 00:02:19.765
Um, just because I think really busy,
54
00:02:19.795 –> 00:02:21.765
high achieving women all of a sudden,
55
00:02:22.105 –> 00:02:25.365
if you remove the hustle and the bustle and the activities
56
00:02:25.365 –> 00:02:26.685
and the distractions mm-hmm.
57
00:02:26.805 –> 00:02:28.125
I called it sitting and spinning.
58
00:02:28.125 –> 00:02:29.565
Women were sitting with themselves
59
00:02:29.625 –> 00:02:33.205
and spinning out about like what was going on
60
00:02:33.205 –> 00:02:34.485
with them getting real with themselves,
61
00:02:34.585 –> 00:02:37.325
and there was no, you know, distraction.
62
00:02:37.985 –> 00:02:40.885
So a lot of women, um, reached for help at that time.
63
00:02:40.915 –> 00:02:43.845
Tell us, okay, so you, you had been divorced 13 years. Yeah.
64
00:02:43.985 –> 00:02:45.765
And when you were avoiding relationships,
65
00:02:45.795 –> 00:02:47.245
meaning were you dating at all
66
00:02:47.505 –> 00:02:50.165
or were you just getting into little things here and there?
67
00:02:50.955 –> 00:02:52.845
Yeah, I mean, I think I
68
00:02:53.505 –> 00:02:55.805
was really not serious about relationships.
69
00:02:56.185 –> 00:02:58.325
Um, I realized I wasn’t emotionally available.
70
00:02:58.485 –> 00:03:00.725
I was just, you know, I guess having fun,
71
00:03:00.825 –> 00:03:02.045
but at the same time, not,
72
00:03:02.935 –> 00:03:06.365
and also struggling to find someone I wanted to be with.
73
00:03:07.305 –> 00:03:10.445
Um, you, you know, and I think through, and we’ll get to it,
74
00:03:10.445 –> 00:03:12.045
but like through the course, I realized
75
00:03:12.045 –> 00:03:15.205
that I was really blocking myself those 13 years.
76
00:03:16.025 –> 00:03:17.605
And, you know, part of it was like,
77
00:03:17.925 –> 00:03:19.165
I think I needed a reset.
78
00:03:19.265 –> 00:03:22.845
And in 2021 when I started a program, I was like,
79
00:03:22.845 –> 00:03:26.725
now I’m ready to really kind of take the blinders off,
80
00:03:26.835 –> 00:03:28.325
take everything off, and,
81
00:03:28.385 –> 00:03:30.485
and really what I would call, like you call it ready
82
00:03:30.485 –> 00:03:33.605
for love, I I was really calling it finding love. Yeah.
83
00:03:34.035 –> 00:03:36.125
Well, and you can’t do it until you’re really ready.
84
00:03:36.155 –> 00:03:37.325
Exactly. You just can’t.
85
00:03:37.345 –> 00:03:39.645
You, you know, if we came across your feed earlier,
86
00:03:39.785 –> 00:03:40.885
you either would’ve ignored us
87
00:03:40.945 –> 00:03:43.005
or been mad at me for saying, you’re the problem,
88
00:03:44.025 –> 00:03:46.725
or, you know, you just would’ve just skipped right over it.
89
00:03:47.265 –> 00:03:50.845
Um, and so you were wanting a relationship,
90
00:03:50.905 –> 00:03:52.005
but also just kind
91
00:03:52.005 –> 00:03:54.725
of putting it on the back burner at the same time. You
92
00:03:54.725 –> 00:03:56.005
Know, I thought I wanted a relationship,
93
00:03:56.025 –> 00:03:57.205
but I, I really didn’t
94
00:03:57.205 –> 00:03:58.725
because I wasn’t emotionally available.
95
00:03:59.305 –> 00:04:01.085
Um, you know, and,
96
00:04:01.185 –> 00:04:03.405
and I, I actually, the truth is, I,
97
00:04:03.485 –> 00:04:04.965
I didn’t really know how to love myself.
98
00:04:05.145 –> 00:04:07.085
And so I think maybe
99
00:04:07.965 –> 00:04:10.685
I had not forgiven myself from the divorce
100
00:04:11.545 –> 00:04:15.305
and was using that as an excuse to not find love.
101
00:04:15.565 –> 00:04:18.145
So yeah, I mean, yeah,
102
00:04:18.405 –> 00:04:20.265
You said like you had had an affair in your marriage
103
00:04:20.265 –> 00:04:23.305
and you were just hard on yourself beating up on yourself,
104
00:04:23.305 –> 00:04:25.385
couldn’t forgive yourself, couldn’t get over it.
105
00:04:26.085 –> 00:04:28.065
And and I think a lot of women who do that,
106
00:04:28.295 –> 00:04:29.345
whether it’s an affair
107
00:04:29.345 –> 00:04:33.425
or anything, just feel like, I don’t, I did that
108
00:04:33.425 –> 00:04:35.865
and now I don’t deserve love.
109
00:04:36.135 –> 00:04:37.305
Yeah. I mean, it was a little bit of that.
110
00:04:37.425 –> 00:04:41.465
I mean, you know, I’m not happy about, uh, of doing that,
111
00:04:41.485 –> 00:04:45.125
but, you know, I realized, you know, I, um,
112
00:04:45.605 –> 00:04:47.005
I really didn’t have my own voice
113
00:04:47.625 –> 00:04:49.605
in my relationship with my marriage.
114
00:04:50.345 –> 00:04:51.805
Um, I didn’t, and quite frankly,
115
00:04:52.005 –> 00:04:53.725
I was really immature emotionally.
116
00:04:54.625 –> 00:04:56.845
Um, you know, and it was sort of like you had said,
117
00:04:56.865 –> 00:04:59.565
you know, it was like a drop of of sponge.
118
00:04:59.865 –> 00:05:02.565
It was a wet a drop on a very dry sponge,
119
00:05:02.585 –> 00:05:05.085
and I was this dry sponge that I was just like,
120
00:05:05.305 –> 00:05:06.445
oh my God, I have an attention.
121
00:05:06.585 –> 00:05:08.405
And, and I got caught in that.
122
00:05:08.505 –> 00:05:10.805
And, but it, what it forced me to realize was
123
00:05:10.805 –> 00:05:13.645
that I was really, you know, not ready
124
00:05:13.905 –> 00:05:15.365
to be in a relationship.
125
00:05:16.265 –> 00:05:18.445
And, and for 13 years later, I wasn’t.
126
00:05:18.625 –> 00:05:21.325
And I, not until I, I came to the program, but
127
00:05:21.405 –> 00:05:23.285
I just love your ownership of that.
128
00:05:23.545 –> 00:05:25.405
And, and, you know, we do a lot of healing
129
00:05:25.585 –> 00:05:27.245
and self-forgiveness in the program,
130
00:05:27.705 –> 00:05:29.285
and a lot of self-compassion,
131
00:05:29.285 –> 00:05:30.965
which most women don’t do very well.
132
00:05:30.965 –> 00:05:32.845
Yeah. We’re very good at being hard on ourselves,
133
00:05:32.905 –> 00:05:34.605
but not good at having compassion.
134
00:05:35.555 –> 00:05:38.565
Most of the time when people have an affair, it’s
135
00:05:38.565 –> 00:05:40.485
because they’re struggling and suffering
136
00:05:40.745 –> 00:05:44.885
and don’t have words for it, or don’t know how to fix it,
137
00:05:45.025 –> 00:05:46.245
or don’t know how to get help.
138
00:05:46.665 –> 00:05:48.845
And I’m not excusing the behavior, obviously,
139
00:05:49.585 –> 00:05:51.845
but there’s always a, a good explanation.
140
00:05:52.465 –> 00:05:55.325
And if you had lost yourself in your marriage, uh, just
141
00:05:55.325 –> 00:05:56.965
to share with the listeners, that drop
142
00:05:57.090 –> 00:06:01.085
of water on a dried out sponge is kind of my metaphor
143
00:06:01.185 –> 00:06:04.485
for women who are starved in the relationship, even men.
144
00:06:04.485 –> 00:06:08.565
Yeah. When we’re starved for feeling seen and witnessed
145
00:06:08.705 –> 00:06:10.645
and appreciated and valued and important
146
00:06:10.745 –> 00:06:11.885
and loved by somebody
147
00:06:12.075 –> 00:06:15.085
because of the dynamic that’s going on in the relationship,
148
00:06:15.755 –> 00:06:19.045
what each person is bringing, it doesn’t take much for an
149
00:06:19.045 –> 00:06:21.045
outside influence to give it to you.
150
00:06:21.595 –> 00:06:24.805
It’s all too alluring if you’ve been parched in a desert
151
00:06:25.425 –> 00:06:26.525
for someone to come along
152
00:06:26.525 –> 00:06:28.605
and be a tall drink of water, you know?
153
00:06:28.605 –> 00:06:29.645
Exactly. It’s too easy.
154
00:06:30.105 –> 00:06:31.525
So do you feel like then some
155
00:06:31.525 –> 00:06:34.085
of the work in the program was learning forgiveness?
156
00:06:34.825 –> 00:06:37.525
Oh, absolutely. I mean, I think it was, it was, you know,
157
00:06:37.545 –> 00:06:40.885
the, the course in itself really helped me, first of all,
158
00:06:41.065 –> 00:06:44.365
you know, sort of forgive myself to give me grace.
159
00:06:44.505 –> 00:06:47.805
You know, I’m people who have affairs are not bad people.
160
00:06:47.905 –> 00:06:48.965
It happens to everybody.
161
00:06:49.645 –> 00:06:52.125
I think, you know, at the time, reflecting back,
162
00:06:52.265 –> 00:06:53.685
you know, I was really young.
163
00:06:54.645 –> 00:06:56.645
I didn’t know how to have my own voice.
164
00:06:56.885 –> 00:07:01.605
I didn’t know how to do that. Lots of women are like that.
165
00:07:01.805 –> 00:07:04.325
I just, I grew up in a, in a family that, you know,
166
00:07:04.325 –> 00:07:07.685
we really didn’t voice what our true intentions were.
167
00:07:07.685 –> 00:07:09.485
And so I’m not giving that as an excuse,
168
00:07:09.585 –> 00:07:13.005
but it really taught me that, you know, how
169
00:07:13.005 –> 00:07:16.885
to build confidence, how to build my own self, um,
170
00:07:16.985 –> 00:07:21.445
as reassurance that I deserve to ask for
171
00:07:21.445 –> 00:07:24.405
what I want to be my voice, um, and things like that.
172
00:07:24.465 –> 00:07:27.085
And so it really taught me a lot.
173
00:07:27.225 –> 00:07:30.085
It taught me, you know, the attachment style was really
174
00:07:30.085 –> 00:07:31.965
something that was eyeopening for me.
175
00:07:32.545 –> 00:07:34.205
Um, and I practice that every day.
176
00:07:34.245 –> 00:07:37.085
I understand why I behave a certain way, and I
177
00:07:37.085 –> 00:07:38.605
and my partner behaves a certain way.
178
00:07:39.185 –> 00:07:40.485
Um, I think there’s just a,
179
00:07:40.485 –> 00:07:43.325
just understanding those dynamics is really important to be,
180
00:07:44.025 –> 00:07:45.325
uh, in a mature relationship.
181
00:07:45.385 –> 00:07:48.245
And I think that was all the lessons in all the mistakes
182
00:07:48.245 –> 00:07:51.165
that I’ve made in the past have really helped me learn
183
00:07:51.165 –> 00:07:53.885
and grow into the relationship I have now.
184
00:07:54.865 –> 00:07:57.195
Yeah. And now you can trust yourself to,
185
00:07:57.615 –> 00:07:59.835
to handle it differently this time around.
186
00:07:59.835 –> 00:08:01.875
Like, it’s important to learn to trust yourself that,
187
00:08:02.295 –> 00:08:04.795
you know, part of the taking responsibility in the program,
188
00:08:05.405 –> 00:08:07.755
which can be that bitter pill to swallow down,
189
00:08:07.935 –> 00:08:10.155
is actually the magic pill to solve everything.
190
00:08:10.155 –> 00:08:12.595
Because when you see where you went wrong and why,
191
00:08:13.655 –> 00:08:15.115
and then you learn what’s better
192
00:08:15.135 –> 00:08:16.555
to do differently going forward,
193
00:08:16.775 –> 00:08:19.235
you trust yourself mm-hmm. To move forward.
194
00:08:19.655 –> 00:08:21.235
Yep. Yeah, exactly. So tell
195
00:08:21.235 –> 00:08:22.235
Us a little, also, I know
196
00:08:22.235 –> 00:08:24.915
that you said this had a huge impact on you professionally,
197
00:08:24.935 –> 00:08:27.155
and that you had been struggling professionally too.
198
00:08:27.295 –> 00:08:29.035
So how did this translate over
199
00:08:29.905 –> 00:08:31.195
into helping you in your career?
200
00:08:32.085 –> 00:08:34.475
Great question. So, you know, as I men,
201
00:08:34.555 –> 00:08:36.195
I mentioned your program was ready for love.
202
00:08:36.215 –> 00:08:38.355
And I, and for me, in my head space,
203
00:08:38.635 –> 00:08:39.915
I was thinking finding love
204
00:08:40.615 –> 00:08:43.835
and finding love really re manifested in finding
205
00:08:43.835 –> 00:08:45.115
love of myself first.
206
00:08:45.245 –> 00:08:48.075
Right. So the course helped me uncover that.
207
00:08:48.895 –> 00:08:52.515
Uh, and I think that really established myself
208
00:08:52.615 –> 00:08:55.565
and in the ability to have confidence who I am.
209
00:08:55.805 –> 00:08:58.085
I think, you know, one of your, one
210
00:08:58.085 –> 00:08:59.845
of your meditations was one of my favorite.
211
00:08:59.945 –> 00:09:03.885
And and this might might be kind of a, you know, an opening
212
00:09:04.025 –> 00:09:05.805
to people who haven’t completed the course yet.
213
00:09:05.825 –> 00:09:09.205
But when you talked about that metaphor about the marble
214
00:09:09.505 –> 00:09:12.485
and that each person is born
215
00:09:12.485 –> 00:09:14.165
with this beautiful shaped marble,
216
00:09:14.305 –> 00:09:16.645
and the things that happened to them chip
217
00:09:17.235 –> 00:09:19.765
away a little bit on that marble, in the end,
218
00:09:19.765 –> 00:09:22.925
you’re this beautiful marble that is unique to yourself
219
00:09:22.925 –> 00:09:24.885
because of all the experiences you have.
220
00:09:25.025 –> 00:09:27.005
And I think that was so profound for me
221
00:09:27.005 –> 00:09:28.605
because I was like, you’re right.
222
00:09:28.605 –> 00:09:30.525
Like, no one else is this person.
223
00:09:31.185 –> 00:09:33.085
I’m the only one that’s gone through these experiences.
224
00:09:33.565 –> 00:09:37.445
I am this beautiful marble, um, shape and this,
225
00:09:37.705 –> 00:09:39.285
and, um, and yeah.
226
00:09:39.285 –> 00:09:42.645
And I had the confidence of really believing in myself
227
00:09:42.905 –> 00:09:46.005
and loving everything, even all my mistakes,
228
00:09:46.005 –> 00:09:50.645
even the affair, even everything that I has done, I sort
229
00:09:50.725 –> 00:09:51.805
of unforgiving now.
230
00:09:52.855 –> 00:09:56.795
And that’s really allowed me to get confidence in myself
231
00:09:56.975 –> 00:09:59.195
and trusting myself and trusting my gut.
232
00:09:59.735 –> 00:10:02.555
And then based on that love, I’m able
233
00:10:02.555 –> 00:10:05.115
to give more love, if that makes any sense.
234
00:10:05.215 –> 00:10:07.595
So that was really profound for me.
235
00:10:07.595 –> 00:10:08.995
And it was just like, aha.
236
00:10:09.995 –> 00:10:12.035
I always had to hold myself back from squealing
237
00:10:12.035 –> 00:10:14.795
with delight, because I just love, I love that so much.
238
00:10:15.095 –> 00:10:16.715
And, um, and,
239
00:10:16.775 –> 00:10:19.075
and you’re talking about the visualization in the journal,
240
00:10:19.135 –> 00:10:21.435
the Daily Journal, which is, I sell the program,
241
00:10:21.715 –> 00:10:23.115
I sell the Daily Journal separately,
242
00:10:23.335 –> 00:10:25.435
and for anybody listening, you can go to ready
243
00:10:25.435 –> 00:10:28.315
for love inc.com/journal and check that out.
244
00:10:28.335 –> 00:10:31.435
It is sold separately, but it is rolled into the program
245
00:10:32.165 –> 00:10:33.715
among all the other things that we do.
246
00:10:33.895 –> 00:10:36.595
And there are lots of visualizations as part of that.
247
00:10:36.655 –> 00:10:39.275
And one of them is this marble where I talk about
248
00:10:39.275 –> 00:10:42.955
where all this chunk of marble really just undefined,
249
00:10:42.955 –> 00:10:46.475
amorphous, when we’re born and over time are experiences
250
00:10:46.735 –> 00:10:47.795
and the messages we get
251
00:10:47.795 –> 00:10:50.355
and all the things we that happen along the way slowly
252
00:10:50.455 –> 00:10:53.795
chisel away until we become this really unique creature
253
00:10:53.795 –> 00:10:55.635
that no one, no one else looks like us.
254
00:10:55.775 –> 00:10:58.035
Mm-hmm. And, and there’s also a lot of other ones too.
255
00:10:58.035 –> 00:10:59.395
Like, do you remember the tree in the,
256
00:10:59.455 –> 00:11:00.635
in the, in the metaphor?
257
00:11:01.105 –> 00:11:02.915
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
258
00:11:03.025 –> 00:11:05.115
It’s, I’m a very visual person,
259
00:11:05.335 –> 00:11:08.555
so creating those was really deeply personal for me,
260
00:11:08.655 –> 00:11:10.395
and those were the things that helped me
261
00:11:10.455 –> 00:11:13.475
and my own personal journey to get where I am.
262
00:11:13.695 –> 00:11:15.635
And so I just love sharing that with everybody.
263
00:11:16.375 –> 00:11:19.595
Um, so, um, tell us now then
264
00:11:20.885 –> 00:11:22.875
where you’re at with your love life,
265
00:11:23.455 –> 00:11:24.835
and we’ll talk about your work too.
266
00:11:26.065 –> 00:11:30.795
Yeah. So I think since the program, I actually moved, um,
267
00:11:30.855 –> 00:11:32.675
so in 2022, right
268
00:11:32.675 –> 00:11:35.355
after I completed the program, I ended up getting a new job
269
00:11:35.695 –> 00:11:39.435
and I moved myself to Boston, um, which is
270
00:11:39.435 –> 00:11:42.715
where I found my partner, who interestingly I,
271
00:11:42.715 –> 00:11:44.515
I’d met previously five years before,
272
00:11:44.655 –> 00:11:46.475
but we just, you know, we didn’t,
273
00:11:46.575 –> 00:11:47.875
we were like, see you again, never.
274
00:11:48.415 –> 00:11:50.635
And then we, we re-met in Boston.
275
00:11:51.295 –> 00:11:53.925
We actually moved at this almost about the same time.
276
00:11:54.105 –> 00:11:56.525
And, and I think both of us came at the same time,
277
00:11:56.525 –> 00:12:01.365
really kind of wanting to find love and, and, um, and yeah.
278
00:12:01.385 –> 00:12:03.285
So ever since we’ve been together, say
279
00:12:03.455 –> 00:12:04.245
Three, Did you say? And
280
00:12:04.245 –> 00:12:05.645
Never, Yeah, we did.
281
00:12:05.665 –> 00:12:07.205
We were like, see you again. Never. And that was, you know,
282
00:12:07.205 –> 00:12:10.405
five years before I started that program, or four years.
283
00:12:10.585 –> 00:12:12.365
And, um, and, and I was,
284
00:12:12.365 –> 00:12:15.405
and it was like that kind of, I was aw, I was awake,
285
00:12:16.145 –> 00:12:18.285
you know, and, and he was also awake.
286
00:12:18.665 –> 00:12:19.925
And so we just came together
287
00:12:19.925 –> 00:12:20.885
and I’ll, I’ll tell you like,
288
00:12:21.015 –> 00:12:22.285
we’re been three and a half years.
289
00:12:22.485 –> 00:12:24.085
I mean, it is not perfect, let’s
290
00:12:24.085 –> 00:12:25.165
just be honest. Relationships I
291
00:12:25.165 –> 00:12:26.365
Don’t think is ever perfect, are
292
00:12:26.365 –> 00:12:27.365
Never perfect. And
293
00:12:27.365 –> 00:12:30.045
I think one of the things that I would, you know,
294
00:12:30.155 –> 00:12:32.205
plug is that attachment style
295
00:12:32.505 –> 00:12:34.885
and just recognizing my attachment style
296
00:12:34.905 –> 00:12:36.165
and his attachment style.
297
00:12:36.245 –> 00:12:39.845
I mean, we are the most completely opposite people, um,
298
00:12:39.945 –> 00:12:41.245
but we kind of come together
299
00:12:41.345 –> 00:12:43.165
and sort of bring each other to the middle.
300
00:12:43.725 –> 00:12:48.595
I think it’s also respecting, um, each other in our,
301
00:12:48.615 –> 00:12:51.875
in the way we attach, um, in our personalities.
302
00:12:52.335 –> 00:12:54.755
You know, your, your model of the sunny side up is
303
00:12:54.855 –> 00:12:56.435
so important for me
304
00:12:56.435 –> 00:12:58.235
because it was two people coming together.
305
00:12:58.335 –> 00:13:00.875
And even though we fight, we have arguments.
306
00:13:01.575 –> 00:13:04.115
Um, and at times it can be really difficult.
307
00:13:04.115 –> 00:13:07.875
We’re always coming together in a very respectful way
308
00:13:07.935 –> 00:13:11.035
to understand each other’s perspectives, um, when we’re,
309
00:13:11.035 –> 00:13:12.115
you know, common collective.
310
00:13:12.335 –> 00:13:15.115
But it’s that communication that really brings us together,
311
00:13:15.325 –> 00:13:18.115
keeps that circle around us very, very solid.
312
00:13:18.895 –> 00:13:20.235
And I, I would say, you know, that,
313
00:13:20.305 –> 00:13:21.875
that really sticks with me all the time.
314
00:13:22.715 –> 00:13:25.035
Yeah. That’s, um, another visual of course.
315
00:13:25.215 –> 00:13:28.635
And another metaphor, and I call it sunny side up, simply
316
00:13:28.635 –> 00:13:30.395
because it looks like two fried eggs.
317
00:13:30.785 –> 00:13:32.035
Yeah, exactly. And yeah,
318
00:13:32.175 –> 00:13:34.835
and you know, in the program, basically you’re,
319
00:13:34.835 –> 00:13:37.035
you’ve really done a great job demonstrating a lot
320
00:13:37.035 –> 00:13:39.715
of the highlights of our program in terms of like,
321
00:13:39.715 –> 00:13:41.395
we help women understand how
322
00:13:41.395 –> 00:13:42.635
to be healthy in a relationship.
323
00:13:42.775 –> 00:13:45.555
And all that include that includes boundaries
324
00:13:45.615 –> 00:13:50.195
and communication and, and how to, how to create intimacy
325
00:13:50.215 –> 00:13:51.755
and safety and, and all of that.
326
00:13:51.775 –> 00:13:53.955
And then also how to love yourself and value yourself
327
00:13:53.955 –> 00:13:55.595
and forgive yourself and be your best self.
328
00:13:56.735 –> 00:13:59.115
And it wasn’t just about finding love because you found him,
329
00:13:59.255 –> 00:14:02.315
and here you are still using the things
330
00:14:02.385 –> 00:14:05.355
that you learned in the program, what, five years later.
331
00:14:05.625 –> 00:14:06.595
Yeah, exactly. With This
332
00:14:06.595 –> 00:14:07.715
man that you’ve been with now three years.
333
00:14:07.915 –> 00:14:10.835
I love that that’s a testament to you, Kimberly, for
334
00:14:11.375 –> 00:14:13.835
really absorbing and owning it all,
335
00:14:14.135 –> 00:14:16.755
and, um, being committed. Yeah,
336
00:14:16.825 –> 00:14:18.595
It’s practice, it, it is a practice.
337
00:14:19.135 –> 00:14:22.715
You know, I think it’s just, I think opening my mind up to,
338
00:14:22.865 –> 00:14:25.395
well, first of all, forgiving myself, forgiving my family.
339
00:14:25.715 –> 00:14:28.235
I think that was also another part of it.
340
00:14:28.455 –> 00:14:29.595
Um, you know,
341
00:14:29.655 –> 00:14:34.515
and then also being aware of just how I, how I show up,
342
00:14:34.935 –> 00:14:37.595
you know, in the world and how I show up to my partners
343
00:14:37.595 –> 00:14:38.875
and my friends and things like that.
344
00:14:39.055 –> 00:14:41.435
And, and I think it was that the tools
345
00:14:41.435 –> 00:14:44.115
that you provide in the program are, you know,
346
00:14:44.175 –> 00:14:46.795
not just relationship also, but professionally too,
347
00:14:46.795 –> 00:14:48.155
because you’ve gotta build relationships
348
00:14:48.155 –> 00:14:49.195
with those people as well.
349
00:14:49.775 –> 00:14:51.485
And I think it’s just really great practice.
350
00:14:51.485 –> 00:14:55.205
And in fact, I use your journal still to this day. Yay.
351
00:14:55.235 –> 00:14:59.405
It’s a really great exercise to start, you know, really
352
00:14:59.665 –> 00:15:02.325
and provide putting intentions forward
353
00:15:02.905 –> 00:15:04.125
and being mindful of it,
354
00:15:04.145 –> 00:15:06.765
and work, doing the work, I think that’s so important
355
00:15:06.765 –> 00:15:08.525
because it doesn’t just come to you.
356
00:15:08.985 –> 00:15:12.045
You really have to do the work doing the practice, you know,
357
00:15:12.045 –> 00:15:14.605
and, and, you know, you continue to use,
358
00:15:14.665 –> 00:15:17.205
and I, as, as I’ve, you know, been talking to you
359
00:15:17.595 –> 00:15:20.005
through this, is I still use those tools every day.
360
00:15:20.005 –> 00:15:21.805
And I, and I, and I is the best,
361
00:15:22.465 –> 00:15:25.365
the best thing that ever happened to me. So
362
00:15:25.965 –> 00:15:27.925
I just feel like my heart’s exploding right now
363
00:15:28.165 –> 00:15:31.085
because I just feel this is, this is
364
00:15:31.115 –> 00:15:32.485
what I get to do every day.
365
00:15:32.485 –> 00:15:35.405
And I’m so lucky that I get to be a part of that for you.
366
00:15:35.745 –> 00:15:38.605
And, um, I’m so excited for you
367
00:15:39.145 –> 00:15:40.525
and I love celebrating women.
368
00:15:40.825 –> 00:15:43.725
So tell us what you’re doing now with work,
369
00:15:43.725 –> 00:15:45.365
because I know you went out on your
370
00:15:45.365 –> 00:15:46.485
own, and that’s really exciting.
371
00:15:46.545 –> 00:15:47.645
So tell us what you do,
372
00:15:47.745 –> 00:15:50.565
and you probably use the journal to help create that
373
00:15:50.565 –> 00:15:51.885
and make that happen, right?
374
00:15:52.805 –> 00:15:56.175
Yeah. I, so about a year ago I decided
375
00:15:56.235 –> 00:15:58.215
to start my own consulting business.
376
00:15:58.515 –> 00:16:00.015
Um, I’ve, um, you know,
377
00:16:00.015 –> 00:16:02.175
and actually I was really built up from my network
378
00:16:02.355 –> 00:16:03.895
of relationships that I had built
379
00:16:04.515 –> 00:16:06.975
who have been carrying me along this way.
380
00:16:07.155 –> 00:16:09.135
And, and it’s exciting.
381
00:16:09.475 –> 00:16:12.335
Um, and you know, I think it’s part of just like, I,
382
00:16:12.335 –> 00:16:13.615
like you said, like the marble.
383
00:16:13.775 –> 00:16:14.975
I am this unique marble,
384
00:16:15.555 –> 00:16:17.415
and I’m, I’m here out for the world
385
00:16:17.515 –> 00:16:19.415
to really help other companies.
386
00:16:19.415 –> 00:16:22.135
So my specialty really ran precision medicine
387
00:16:22.475 –> 00:16:24.495
and, um, oncology
388
00:16:24.675 –> 00:16:26.495
and helping startup companies
389
00:16:27.205 –> 00:16:29.375
develop their innovative tools and bring them to market.
390
00:16:29.595 –> 00:16:31.495
So, um, so yeah. Wow.
391
00:16:31.805 –> 00:16:35.175
It’s, it’s been a really great experience, excited about it.
392
00:16:35.275 –> 00:16:36.375
So that is that,
393
00:16:36.475 –> 00:16:38.935
and I think both of us came at the same time, really kind
394
00:16:38.935 –> 00:16:43.375
of wanting to find love and, and, um, and yeah.
395
00:16:43.395 –> 00:16:45.335
So ever since we’ve been together, did you say,
396
00:16:45.715 –> 00:16:46.715
Did you say and never.
397
00:16:47.125 –> 00:16:48.735
Yeah, we did. We were like, see you again. Never.
398
00:16:48.735 –> 00:16:49.895
And that was, you know, five years
399
00:16:49.895 –> 00:16:52.535
before I started that program, or four years.
400
00:16:52.715 –> 00:16:54.335
And, um, and, and I was,
401
00:16:54.355 –> 00:16:56.175
and it was like that kind of, I was aw,
402
00:16:56.495 –> 00:16:58.215
I was awake, you know?
403
00:16:58.235 –> 00:17:00.175
And, and he was also awake.
404
00:17:00.555 –> 00:17:01.895
And so we just came together
405
00:17:01.915 –> 00:17:02.895
and I’ll, I’ll tell you like
406
00:17:03.025 –> 00:17:04.295
we’re been three and a half years.
407
00:17:04.455 –> 00:17:06.215
I mean, it is not perfect, let’s just
408
00:17:06.215 –> 00:17:07.335
be honest. Relationships, I don’t
409
00:17:07.335 –> 00:17:09.175
Think it’s ever perfect, Are never perfect.
410
00:17:09.515 –> 00:17:12.015
And I think one of the things that I would, you know,
411
00:17:12.125 –> 00:17:14.575
plug is that attachment style
412
00:17:14.795 –> 00:17:17.295
and just recognizing my attachment style
413
00:17:17.355 –> 00:17:18.615
and his attachment style.
414
00:17:18.655 –> 00:17:22.335
I mean, we are the most completely opposite people, um,
415
00:17:22.435 –> 00:17:23.735
but we kind of come together
416
00:17:23.835 –> 00:17:25.735
and sort of bring each other to the middle.
417
00:17:26.375 –> 00:17:31.105
I think it’s also respecting, um, each other in our,
418
00:17:31.125 –> 00:17:34.265
in the way we attach, um, in our personalities.
419
00:17:34.645 –> 00:17:36.865
You know, your, your model of the sunny side up is
420
00:17:37.005 –> 00:17:38.905
so important for me
421
00:17:38.905 –> 00:17:40.705
because it was two people coming together.
422
00:17:40.805 –> 00:17:44.305
And even though we fight, we have arguments, um,
423
00:17:44.485 –> 00:17:46.785
and at times it can be really difficult.
424
00:17:46.875 –> 00:17:50.365
We’re always coming together in a very respectful way
425
00:17:50.425 –> 00:17:53.525
to understand each other’s perspectives, um, when we’re,
426
00:17:53.525 –> 00:17:54.605
you know, common collective.
427
00:17:54.825 –> 00:17:57.845
But it’s that communication that really brings us together,
428
00:17:58.055 –> 00:18:00.885
keeps that circle around us very, very solid.
429
00:18:01.625 –> 00:18:02.925
And I, I would say, you know, that,
430
00:18:02.925 –> 00:18:05.645
that really sticks with me all the time. Yeah,
431
00:18:05.985 –> 00:18:07.965
That’s, um, another visual of course,
432
00:18:08.225 –> 00:18:11.365
and another metaphor, and I call it sunny side up, simply
433
00:18:11.365 –> 00:18:13.125
because it looks like two fried eggs.
434
00:18:13.565 –> 00:18:14.805
Yeah, exactly. And yeah,
435
00:18:14.905 –> 00:18:17.605
and you know, in the program, basically you’re,
436
00:18:17.605 –> 00:18:19.765
you’ve really done a great job demonstrating a lot
437
00:18:19.765 –> 00:18:22.365
of the highlights of our program in terms of like,
438
00:18:22.365 –> 00:18:24.165
we help women understand how
439
00:18:24.165 –> 00:18:25.445
to be healthy in a relationship.
440
00:18:25.625 –> 00:18:28.325
And all that include that includes boundaries
441
00:18:28.385 –> 00:18:29.765
and communication and,
442
00:18:30.385 –> 00:18:32.925
and how to, how to, how to create intimacy
443
00:18:32.985 –> 00:18:34.485
and safety and, and all of that.
444
00:18:34.545 –> 00:18:36.685
And then also how to love yourself and value yourself
445
00:18:36.685 –> 00:18:38.325
and forgive yourself and be your best self.
446
00:18:39.425 –> 00:18:41.805
And it wasn’t just about finding love because you found him,
447
00:18:41.985 –> 00:18:45.125
and here you are still using the things
448
00:18:45.235 –> 00:18:48.085
that you learned in the program, what, five years later.
449
00:18:48.395 –> 00:18:49.405
Yeah, exactly. With This
450
00:18:49.405 –> 00:18:50.485
man that you’ve been with now three years.
451
00:18:50.685 –> 00:18:53.565
I love that that’s a testament to you, Kimberly, for
452
00:18:54.105 –> 00:18:56.565
really absorbing and owning it all,
453
00:18:56.905 –> 00:18:59.085
and, um, being committed.
454
00:19:00.435 –> 00:19:03.245
Yeah, yeah. It’s practice, it, it is a practice.
455
00:19:04.025 –> 00:19:07.365
You know, I think it’s just, I think opening my mind up to,
456
00:19:07.515 –> 00:19:10.045
well, first of all, forgiving myself, forgiving my family.
457
00:19:10.405 –> 00:19:12.885
I think that was also another part of it.
458
00:19:13.105 –> 00:19:14.245
Um, you know,
459
00:19:14.305 –> 00:19:18.925
and then also being aware of just all the diff you know,
460
00:19:19.825 –> 00:19:23.245
how I, how I show up, you know, in the world
461
00:19:23.705 –> 00:19:25.205
and how I show up to my partners
462
00:19:25.205 –> 00:19:26.525
and my friends and things like that.
463
00:19:26.665 –> 00:19:28.845
And, and I think it was that the tools
464
00:19:28.845 –> 00:19:31.485
that you provide in the program are, you know,
465
00:19:31.545 –> 00:19:34.205
not just relationship also, but professionally too,
466
00:19:34.205 –> 00:19:35.045
because you’ve gotta build
467
00:19:35.045 –> 00:19:36.445
relationships for those people as well.
468
00:19:36.985 –> 00:19:38.725
And I think it’s just really great practice.
469
00:19:38.785 –> 00:19:42.605
And in fact, I use your journal still to this day, um, yay.
470
00:19:42.675 –> 00:19:46.805
It’s a really great exercise to start, you know, really,
471
00:19:47.065 –> 00:19:49.725
and provide putting intentions forward
472
00:19:50.305 –> 00:19:51.525
and being mindful of it,
473
00:19:51.585 –> 00:19:54.325
and work, doing the work, I think that’s so important
474
00:19:54.325 –> 00:19:55.885
because it doesn’t just come to you.
475
00:19:56.225 –> 00:19:59.845
You really have to do the work doing the practice, you know,
476
00:19:59.845 –> 00:20:02.405
and, and, you know, you continue to use,
477
00:20:02.465 –> 00:20:05.005
and I, as, as I’ve, you know, been talking to you
478
00:20:05.395 –> 00:20:07.805
through this, is I still use those tools every day.
479
00:20:07.805 –> 00:20:09.605
And I, and I, and I is the best,
480
00:20:10.305 –> 00:20:11.605
the best thing that ever happened to me.
481
00:20:13.145 –> 00:20:15.765
So I just feel like my heart’s exploding right now,
482
00:20:15.765 –> 00:20:19.525
because I just feel this is, this is what I get
483
00:20:19.525 –> 00:20:22.445
to do every day, and I’m so lucky that I get
484
00:20:22.445 –> 00:20:23.565
to be a part of that for you.
485
00:20:23.905 –> 00:20:26.765
And, um, I’m so excited for you
486
00:20:27.305 –> 00:20:28.725
and I love celebrating women.
487
00:20:29.025 –> 00:20:31.965
So tell us what you’re doing now with work,
488
00:20:31.965 –> 00:20:33.405
because I know you went out on your
489
00:20:33.405 –> 00:20:34.605
own, and that’s really exciting.
490
00:20:34.665 –> 00:20:37.725
So tell us what you do, and you probably use the journal
491
00:20:37.745 –> 00:20:40.005
to help create that and make that happen, right?
492
00:20:40.935 –> 00:20:44.305
Yeah. I, so about a year ago, I decided
493
00:20:44.365 –> 00:20:46.345
to start my own consulting business.
494
00:20:46.645 –> 00:20:48.245
Um, I’ve, um, you know,
495
00:20:48.245 –> 00:20:50.525
and actually I was really built up from my network
496
00:20:50.705 –> 00:20:52.205
of relationships that I had built
497
00:20:52.825 –> 00:20:55.125
who have been carrying me along this way.
498
00:20:55.305 –> 00:20:57.285
And, and it’s exciting.
499
00:20:57.625 –> 00:21:00.405
Um, and, you know, I think it’s part of just like, I,
500
00:21:00.405 –> 00:21:01.565
like you said, like the marble.
501
00:21:01.685 –> 00:21:02.885
I am this unique marble,
502
00:21:03.545 –> 00:21:05.565
and I’m, I’m here out for the world
503
00:21:05.705 –> 00:21:07.725
to really help other companies.
504
00:21:07.725 –> 00:21:10.525
So my specialty is really around precision medicine
505
00:21:10.865 –> 00:21:12.645
and, um, oncology
506
00:21:12.825 –> 00:21:14.645
and helping startup companies
507
00:21:15.355 –> 00:21:17.525
develop their innovative tools and bring them to market.
508
00:21:17.745 –> 00:21:19.605
So, um, so yeah. Wow.
509
00:21:19.755 –> 00:21:22.165
It’s, it’s been a really great experience.
510
00:21:22.585 –> 00:21:26.975
Um, and, and, um, yeah, I’m, I’m excited about it. So
511
00:21:27.245 –> 00:21:28.975
That is, that is really interesting.
512
00:21:29.075 –> 00:21:31.615
So if, I mean, I don’t know who’s listening
513
00:21:31.615 –> 00:21:33.295
that has a biomedical company,
514
00:21:33.835 –> 00:21:35.855
but like, do you have a website?
515
00:21:35.855 –> 00:21:37.215
Like how can people check that out?
516
00:21:37.335 –> 00:21:39.175
I, it’s a great, I mean, I’m on LinkedIn,
517
00:21:39.195 –> 00:21:40.535
you can find me on LinkedIn.
518
00:21:40.695 –> 00:21:43.655
I, I don’t, I hate to say it, I’m still in the early stages
519
00:21:43.755 –> 00:21:45.055
and I’m more word of mouth,
520
00:21:45.155 –> 00:21:49.215
but you know, I’m, I, I really can across all of the,
521
00:21:49.635 –> 00:21:52.015
the spectrum, you know, really can help with, with,
522
00:21:52.085 –> 00:21:53.655
with the starting businesses
523
00:21:53.675 –> 00:21:56.575
or even maturing businesses if they’re interested in getting
524
00:21:56.605 –> 00:22:00.575
into sort of the digital ai, um, base.
525
00:22:01.395 –> 00:22:04.575
You’re so smart. Oh my gosh. But we’ll
526
00:22:04.575 –> 00:22:06.575
Put the link to LinkedIn in the show notes Okay.
527
00:22:06.595 –> 00:22:08.055
And the description and all that stuff,
528
00:22:08.155 –> 00:22:09.375
so people could check you out.
529
00:22:09.395 –> 00:22:11.815
But Sounds great. I wanna thank you so much for sharing.
530
00:22:12.115 –> 00:22:15.255
So openly, what would you tell somebody who’s listening
531
00:22:15.255 –> 00:22:17.095
and they’re like, oh, is that for me, or is it not for me?
532
00:22:17.095 –> 00:22:18.895
Or, I don’t know if I need that, or I’m on the fence,
533
00:22:19.035 –> 00:22:20.855
or what if it doesn’t work for me?
534
00:22:21.325 –> 00:22:22.325
Like, what would you say?
535
00:22:23.695 –> 00:22:26.575
I mean, I think hopefully my story will really help
536
00:22:27.295 –> 00:22:30.335
convince people that this is absolutely worth it.
537
00:22:30.475 –> 00:22:33.695
If, if it’s to invest in yourself, it’s a small fraction,
538
00:22:34.435 –> 00:22:36.815
um, of really trying to prove yourself.
539
00:22:36.815 –> 00:22:40.215
And it was the best money ever spent to this day, you know?
540
00:22:40.215 –> 00:22:42.095
And I would say, you know, you’ve got nothing to lose,
541
00:22:42.715 –> 00:22:44.615
and you’ve only to invest in yourself.
542
00:22:44.715 –> 00:22:49.695
And, you know, when you’re, you, your mind, go be so
543
00:22:50.485 –> 00:22:53.135
open after this experience that, you know,
544
00:22:53.405 –> 00:22:54.775
limitless possibilities.

I, I don’t, I hate to say it, I’m still in the early stages
569
00:23:49.345 –> 00:23:50.685
