Emily:What up, guys? This is Emily.
Lisa:And I'm Lisa, and we are the Conscious Collaboration. Hey, Emily.
Emily:Hey.
Lisa:Are you in the soup of Mercury in retrograde?
Emily:Mercury is retrograde. Yes. Yes. Things be glitching, and, you know, we're gonna make it just like we always have. I think too, so they say because Geminis are ruled by Mercury.
Emily:You know, I might tend to feel them a little stronger, but
Lisa:we're making it challenging and fun at the same time. I'm sure that Geminis can appreciate that.
Emily:We just really, yeah, had had some experience with the with the technical glitchy side of that today in particular.
Lisa:So I wanna give a little disclaimer that I was chitchatting with a few people offline about being our guest today, and I got a lot of excuses. Some of them were, I don't know if I can be a guest because I feel like my mind's all over the place. Like, I feel like ADHD, and I was like, do you listen to us? Because that's pretty much how all of our episodes are. We would love that.
Lisa:So I think I think a lot of people are feeling very, like, affected right now. Like, they can't show up and be they feel like they're not showing up and being their best selves, but I say, like, don't let that stop you.
Emily:Well, also, I mean, this is sort of the design of Mercury retrograde as I understand it, because retrograde is a time to turn your attention inwards. And so I can understand why people would not feel like presenting outwards on today specifically. And so, I think that's the universe telling us it's a great day to do an energy check-in. Energy check-in. Oh, maybe we'll find out from the eating that, that that feeling is is not so crazy after all.
Emily:Validated. Yeah. You know? Correct.
Lisa:Nobody's crazy. You know? Like, I I think what I think you and I try to do all the time is cultivate a real conversational show up as you are, like, come as you are type of, you know, podcast, and we're not super scripted. We have really authentic prechats. That's how we build the conversation and the flow.
Lisa:And, you know, I think it just makes me reflect back to when we first started doing a podcast, and we were just putting so much pressure on ourselves and, like, sitting and prepping, and how much more ease and flow there is now. And I feel like, you know, even going on a radio show, we're just kinda, like, show up and there you go. But it's it feels, just feels like a life lesson, and I think that's part of where Mercury and Retrograde is, like, reflecting backwards. But as I'm talking to people and many people are, you know, entrepreneurs and they're starting projects that are near and dear to their heart, and they're, like, a little bit scared to put their I their ideas out there, and share with everybody. But, I don't know, I just wanna encourage everybody if you're on our guest pre chat list that I think you should come on.
Lisa:People will
Emily:They'll feel better next week.
Lisa:Yes. I think so.
Emily:They'll feel better next week. Yeah. I I, I'm gonna empathize with that, and, you know, if it we do this every week. Yeah. So, you know, when when one of us comes on and our brain is mush mush, which has happened many times Every week.
Emily:In either, you know, either of our situation, we can sort of redeem ourselves the following week. Whereas, you know, I I can understand how somebody who's just gonna be a guest on the show would want to feel their best. Yes. Yes. And now the you know, that's not with what you're saying with putting your stuff out to the world, that's not a reason to continually hold back, on your content.
Emily:But if there's, you know, moments in time where it just doesn't feel right, like, that's
Lisa:I just think that our listeners are the best place to break the seal on big ideas, and no one and everyone has been so gracious and supportive, and I think it's, like, a really safe place for people to come on with us and talk about things, you know, get some momentum behind it. I think that's, you know, the power of intention. If you can speak it and say it to people that are gonna internalize it and put positive energy behind it, it actualizes so much faster.
Emily:Mhmm. Yeah. And they'll be back. They'll be back. They'll be back.
Emily:Like a boomerang. Worried about it. I'm not worried about it.
Lisa:So let's do a quick check-in. Well, not that one. Let's do a quick check-in with I Ching and see what the general energy is with our listeners and our conscious collaboration. And then what do we need to know in the coming 1 to 3 weeks as we how about just close it out? Maybe next year?
Lisa:Yeah. 1 to 3 weeks as we round out this year, but I guess someone might be listening to us at any random time. So
Emily:Yeah. Well and, you know, as Steve would say Time. We ain't fucking time lords. The universe does not go by the Gregorian calendar. So
Lisa:Nope. Nor should I think But we'll give it
Emily:an ish. 1 to 3 weeks ish.
Lisa:Yes. Okay. So what is the energy surrounding our conscious collaboration collective, and what do we need to know in the coming 1 to 3 weeks to bring us the most clarity and joy and ease and whatever it is that we are trying to actualize. And thank you. So I didn't look at the first one yet.
Lisa:It's very dramatic how it tumbled out, though. So slow motion. What is it? Oh, youthful folly. That's the energy around the conscious collaboration.
Emily:La la la la la la la.
Lisa:We like that one. And then, we need to the energy that we need to know about as we navigate the next 1 to 3 weeks is excessive pressure.
Emily:Well, I mean and just on a, like, instant, you know, instant analysis kind of hit. I mean, that's that's exactly it. Like, the holidays in general are tend to be a time of excessive pressure kinda no matter what. You know? And, yeah, literally the best way to navigate through that and to not be essentially crushed by that excessive pressure is just to tap into that youthful folly that, you know, the real reason for the season, right, to connect with others and play and be Santa Claus jolly, you know, even if Christmas itself is not your thing like that, you know, we we we do this as a culture.
Emily:We stray so far from what the holidays or the season is actually about, a lot of times, you know, and a lot of this pressure is self inflicted. Right? Like, having to or feeling like you have to get a gift for, you know, 27, 35, 42, 55 people in your life. You know, showing up to different parties and events and, you know, which part of the family are we gonna go to, and what am I gonna cook, and, you know, oh my god. Aunt Susie's vegan.
Emily:And, like, whatever. I was like so, you know, all of that excess stuff that when you get down to, like, okay. What what is this really about and what, you know, what is gonna feed feed my soul about this time of year? It has nothing to do with that stuff. Nothing to do with it.
Emily:It's literally just about getting that oxytocin hit, getting around the people that you really feel good around and, combating that excess stress just by, you you know, choosing to tap out from all the all the all the pressure, that, again, 95% of it, we just put on ourselves.
Lisa:Yeah. I mean, it just it feels like the, you know, this last part I mean, really relevant to any time of year, but, in particular, this one, it just there's a lot of deadlines, it feels, inconsistent schedules for people, commitments. Taxes are looming over everybody here in the US. And, you know, if you're like me and you're a big procrastinator, that's A lot
Emily:of things due by the 31st. Yeah.
Lisa:Do, that could be a lot of penalties, you know, on top of, like, commitments, like you're saying, to family, friends, and so on and so forth. But youthful folly, that's a great energy to be around us, and I I think that we did have a recent, energy check-in where we were talking about youthful folly.
Emily:Yeah. We get that all the time. We probably get that more than any.
Lisa:Yeah. So I think this is significant to the Conscious Collaboration Collective and our listeners. This must be an energy that we return to often. If we look if we reflect back on all of our episodes and check ins, it comes up a lot. So I think that's a good
Emily:Stop being so fucking serious.
Lisa:That's a good place to be that, you know, place of play and imagination and possibilities. So And
Emily:to throw my guy Steve out there again, I mean, he is constantly saying, and he was, he would said it like this, in a recent one I listened to, you could, you could surround yourself in crystals. You could just pile crystals all over yourself. You could eat crystals, whatever. He said nothing is as powerful for breaking up energy as laughter.
Lisa:Yeah. You know, last night was, the tree lighting in golf port, and we had, you know, the whole town come to the center. And that like, if you it doesn't matter if you like Christmas or not. That's just, like, one of the most healing things to do in a neighborhood. In particular, I was thinking, like, probably half the people coming to this event just lost everything in a hurricane and but, yet, they're coming to this event, and it's very much kid focused as you know because you went with us, you know, a couple years ago, and all the kids are singing and all the pretty lights
Emily:and Just to absorb that. Because, I mean, remember how just, like, pure magic Christmas felt when you're a young kid. Like, it was like Christmas in Disney World. Oh my god. The not this is the pinnacle.
Emily:And so to absorb some of that, you know, I think, yeah, it's just one of the most healing things you can you could put yourself into.
Lisa:That youthful folly and make pretend, and whether or not you believe in Santa or not or Christmas or not, just you know, everybody really committed to playing the part so the kids could have their imagination. You know? And, like, they believe it so much. It it feels for a second believable to you sometimes. Like, so I really love how the adults, whether they were you know, not everyone's a parent, but, you know, people brought their their dogs and there were kids there.
Lisa:But everybody played their part, to create that sense of magic for the kids, which inevitably you feel yourself. But I think doing that in a town center is, like, a brilliant way to just you know, it's very healing that radiates, and then that impacts people's next day and the people that they talk to. So in youthful folly, and for us all, I'm sure there's that place for you, Emily, and for everybody at home to think of what are the things that because right now we're existing in youth portfolio. What are the things that are lighting you up or helping you to connect to that imagination and joy and wonder? And it helps you to navigate difficult times.
Emily:Yeah. I would even, like, you know, throw on some of the nostalgic movies. You know, maybe, like, if you're a person who doesn't have kids, you I saw a funny reel about this. It's like I was just out in front of my school reminiscing, and then I realized I was just, like, a random guy, like, parked out in front of a school. He's like, no.
Emily:Don't get arrested. Maybe maybe don't be that guy or girl, but, you know, put put on home alone or, like, whatever. Some whatever the tradition or, you know, just something they say, you know, smells are so powerful. So, anything that can kinda, you know, just bring you back to that place of youthful folly of just not everything being so serious and so heavy and and, a little little healthy escapism.
Lisa:Yeah. And I think it's also the yi chain talks about the the whole parent child relationship a lot. So in this energy, sometimes you're reflecting as a parent and sometimes you're the child, and then a lot of times you're the parenting of yourself. Mhmm. So there's there's a lot of that parent child relationship energy in our collective consciousness right now.
Lisa:Are you the teacher, or is the child teaching you? Or, you know, in any circumstance, it's the wisdom that comes from experience and looking at it from the perspective of this is the very first time I'm doing it. And, and that resonates a lot with me right now about YouthHope Volley. You know, in my own professional life, I'm trying things I've never done before. So that's a very, like, childlike, first time kind of first day of school kind of experience.
Lisa:But I'm so grateful that the people I'm doing it with are of that same vibe. Like, they're fun and, you know, really you know, of course, yeah, we have challenges, but they're they're like, you know what? But we're having fun. We're laughing. We're figuring things out.
Lisa:It's an experience. I think that's gonna make us stronger. So I think that's me. It's it's kind of being reflective in examining your attitude. If you are learning from you know, how are you learning from your mistakes?
Lisa:How are you facing them? And then how are you showing up in that energy to be a good influence influence to others, whether they're your children, people that work below you? But quite literally, there's 4 out of 6 change lines coming from the divine down to inner self. So there's a lot of lessons in this that are, like, universe lessons that are showing up. And that's typical, right, in Mercury and retrograde.
Lisa:Are you gonna repeat the cycle again? So really pay attention to the the lessons that are presenting. And you're gonna feel a lot of pressure because there's 4 out of 6 change lines. Really, that's a lot of change energy in your, in your experience. So you're gonna feel it.
Lisa:It's gonna feel different. Doesn't mean bad.
Emily:No. And we we we we felt this. We felt this we felt this happening for the last handful of months. This is and even just, you know, without all the stuff that's been happening, being New Year, you know, time and and even if you consider, like, 11:11 portal more like the energetic New Year, it's it's still the time of endings of cycles and beginnings of new cycles all over the place.
Lisa:So it talks about this. Is this the time when this is coming from the top line. Like a child that's doing something dangerous, and this isn't in the I Ching, but I'm trying to paraphrase, like, the lesson here. Like a child that's about ready to run into traffic or runs a little bit in traffic and your whole life flashes before your eyes, you're like, oh my god. Like, you don't just let that go and not address it.
Lisa:You have to really, like, you know, make it very clear never to do that again. From the top line, this is a really important time to not wash over any wrongdoings in particular if it's something that's personal safety related. You know, you can and the I Ching says, like, well, it's true that karma evens a score. You need to take your own activate your own boundaries and, using your own experience to nip that in the bud. If someone's you catch someone stealing in your company, that's not something where you go, I forgive you.
Lisa:Everybody makes their mistakes, you know, and just let it wash. You need to make it very clear. This is what's happening. You can't do it again.
Emily:We're cutting off hands, baby.
Lisa:Yeah. Next time, you're losing a hand.
Emily:The conscious mafia.
Lisa:Right. So, you know, this is time to be firm and effective. And if you need to, whatever form like, if you need to, for example, fire someone to reestablish equilibrium, the I Ching is saying, like, you this is the time to do it. I know it's terrible. It's right around the holidays if you're catching it in December.
Lisa:But, you know, to not allow something to repeat again and again, it's time to be firm. So I don't know who that might resonate with. And then it talks about fresh innocence brings good fortune. You know, having that lack of preconceptions and boundaries around something, allow life to be your teacher. So this is really good.
Lisa:You're a magnet for fresh insights in this energy. You don't put yourself in a box. Nobody puts baby in a corner, you know, that we've been talking about. Make sure you're surrounding people around you and team members that see possibilities. And don't say we've never done it that way before, so we're not doing it.
Lisa:You know, let yourself be surrounded by people that believe in the natural evolution of things and organicness of things, meaning that just because it didn't work before doesn't mean it's not gonna work now with a fresh perspective. So, entering into creations with a fresh innocence is really gonna be very fortunate, and I think it's good timing for the age of Aquarius too.
Emily:Mhmm. Okay. Just thinking that, like, it's it sounds like Revolution. Sounds like you're talking about the age of Aquarius. Yeah.
Emily:Yeah. No boxes. No Yeah. So no boxes. Holding back because you haven't done anything before.
Emily:Like, it's all about it's all about trying the new things in revolution.
Lisa:Yeah. And if you can communicate that in social media, like, your fresh childlike love for what you're doing, you're gonna magnetize your people to you. Like, if you're
Emily:An imperfect action. That idea of imperfect action. Just just do.
Lisa:Yeah. Just do. Just come in our podcast. Be our guest. Talk about that was just a little plug for us and our guests.
Emily:Be our guest. Be our guest.
Lisa:But also a caution. Yeah. Here's a little caution. I think this is talking directly to us. So Okay.
Lisa:Don't cling to fantasies. I think that's talking to you. Yeah. I know. Don't I love to live in the land of delusion.
Lisa:Always been my safe place, but, you don't wanna cling to it so much that ends up being humiliating. Okay. I felt I feel that very, very personal, because it's saying, don't entangle yourself in magical thinking and fantastic dreams because that's really all I do. You know? It makes me think of that meme with, stepbrothers when he was, like, first, I thought you turned into a unicorn.
Lisa:I did. I felt that. I really love them. I love stepbrothers.
Emily:They're great. Yeah. Very quotable.
Lisa:I'm told that's the cutoff, like, for knowing if you're a gen xer or a millennial is if you have an appreciation for stepbrothers and welfare.
Emily:Supposed to have the appreciation
Lisa:Because Gen z Gen x doesn't like Gen x doesn't like welfare? No. Gen x does. Millennials do. Gen z does not.
Emily:Oh, you're saying between you're putting Gen x and millennials together. Got it. Well, that's their problem.
Lisa:I I really revel in it.
Emily:I can write I don't I had, like I don't know. I I know I'm kind of an outlier on this one where, Ricky Bobby was my least favorite, Will Ferrell. For a lot of people, that's, like, the they don't want to like or that, that's their their favorite, but that's kinda the least magical to me. I, of course, me knew Anchorman all the time, or quoting that one. Stepbrother's wedding, wedding crashers.
Lisa:Mhmm.
Emily:Old school. But I have kind of a underrated, I think, favorite. It's a little more obscure. The one that he was in called The Campaign.
Lisa:Oh my gosh. This is
Emily:What's what's the other guy's name? Is that Galifianakis?
Lisa:Maybe. Is that Galifianakis? That one.
Emily:Yeah. Yeah. That was that was undercover really good.
Lisa:He was like, don't touch me. You smell like sausage. Yeah. He punches the baby.
Emily:Youthful folly. That was hilarious.
Lisa:Yeah. But never punch a baby.
Emily:Never punch yeah. We are not advocating for punching babies.
Lisa:No. No. But, I mean, it's good it's good to go to those, like, places of magical thinking. And
Emily:And if you you're if you're a Gen zer and you like Will Ferrell, let us know.
Lisa:Yeah. We wouldn't hear her because maybe we're wrong. So you don't wanna be entangled or codependent on your delusions. I don't think we are. I think it's a healthy dose.
Lisa:I did take it I did take that line of guidance a little personal because I love magical thinking and, you know, I I gotta tell you, I was so I was telling Kevin about this on Thanksgiving. I was so excited that I contacted by grand master in Feng Shui, and they were having, a Dell science and quantum event, and they contacted me to attend when I was so honored and excited. I was like, this is like in terms of, like, magical thinking is something that's very sci fi to me. I mean and yet I live it, but I just love that there's more people out there. There was a big event around it.
Lisa:And now we're Facebook friends. Awesome. My story. I just I really love magical thinking. And, like I
Emily:mean, that's not magical thinking. That really happened.
Lisa:It really happened, and I love that there's people putting science to quantify and to qualify things that are materializing and existing in a quantum sense. And relating that to health is so amazing. So I'm really excited about that. So it talks about also within this, all these change lines that we're feeling, our our collective is to be careful, in your relationship with connections with others, putting yourself in importance. Like, let's say, you're very wealthy and you're relating with people who, in your mind, are very poor.
Lisa:Be really careful about your, well, your, in that sense, attachment to the wealthy, and then you're just staying for people that are of a lesser wealth. I know we don't fall into that category, but, don't divide yourself from people or manipulate people. Try to be very mindful of your interrelations of people in different classifications that you wouldn't otherwise mingle with. So
Emily:Don't be a.
Lisa:Yeah. Don't. People. Right. Yeah.
Lisa:There's there's, you know, it's just talking about if you look at if you look at people who are your superior or people that you desire to be your lover, or an investor. If you're looking to entice an investor, come part of the way down the road, to meet them. So meet them halfway. I think it speaks a lot to entitlement, and there's I did have, you know, meetings recently. I have coffee dates with people during the week, other business owners, just get to know them.
Lisa:And I've met with some people that I feel super nice, very, very nice, but also have, like, a little bit of why isn't this being handed me type of perspective. And, you know, like you and I always say, you know, try to put ourselves in their shoes. Like, I don't think anyone's ever malicious, especially if they're meeting me for coffee. But I also it makes me think, like, just about entitlement doesn't serve anybody any good. Like, in terms of business, I think a lot of people expect, especially if they're joining, like, big referral networks or clubs or whatever, they expect things to be handed to them.
Lisa:And no matter how much money you pay, there's still that energetic reciprocation that needs to happen, or you're not gonna have any sustainable success. People will do their minimal referrals to you if you're part of whatever organization, but the ones that really turn into something or where you make meaningful connections really truly understand what people are good with, help them, bring them connections. It's not just, okay. I showed up. I have paid my dues.
Lisa:Why am I not making, you know, what I want in my business from this group?
Emily:Well, that just goes to show, you know, the how a lack of adversity or, you know, an a life experience where you've been, quote, unquote, spoiled or, you know, had a lot of things handed to you is actually kinda more of a disadvantage because, you know, then you tend to lack resourcefulness.
Lisa:But why isn't that be because you haven't
Emily:had to be Yeah.
Lisa:I think it needs to be, like, part of an educational program if people are still attending universities. You know, I really like that podcast you sent me to listen to. I don't know if you finished listening to it where the lady was talking about the future of the economy and education and so on and so forth. But I don't know why it's not being taught in universities and trade schools, these type of things.
Emily:Most of the curriculum is just not all that practical in the
Lisa:It's not.
Emily:In the modern world. You know?
Lisa:No. It's it's not. Other I don't even think it's you know, it makes me really question. It's probably something that will be reworked and the issue
Emily:Well, I mean, look at and, look, I I'm not by any means trashing, like, the university system, but, I mean, a big critique of it is going back to exactly what you were talking about a few minutes ago with the age of Aquarius and because you can look at that universe, and by and large, they're very, you you know, we do we do it this way because we've always done it this way. Mhmm. And I do think it's important to, you know, pass along, like, to some degree, you know, tradition. Right. Whatever you kinda wanna lump under that, but, also, I think, I think it's definitely a fair critique to say that that they could do a better job of modernizing curriculum and and the the system.
Lisa:Absolutely. Because it's not whether or not you read like, at this day and age, when you can look at your phone and Google words if you forget it or do math on your phone or whatever Mhmm. It's not the learning of the concepts that needs to be tested on.
Emily:It's You get all the information for free. Yeah.
Lisa:It's the apprenticeship and the empowerment that someone can leave and be fully capable to implement things, that you can have all the degrees and certifications and whatever. But then you end up in the situation that I see time and time again where someone just kinda like, okay. What next? Like, why isn't anyone knocking on my door, asking me to do all this fancy stuff I know how to do? Mhmm.
Lisa:So, that's a lot of youthful folly, and it's not it's not ignorant. It's not delusional. It just you know, it's an opportunity to ask for help where you could or apprentice or to take someone under apprenticeship, and to gain some creativity from it in yourself. Like, that will help you to grow. So I think it's a good energy for the collective to be in, perfect timing, and I think it's gonna help navigate any excessive pressure that you see others.
Lisa:We knew, age of Aquarius, people were gonna be like, what's happening? Like, why are systems crumbling? And nothing is familiar, and that didn't work out as planned. So excessive pressure, hexagram 28, which is lake above and winds below, but the card looks like a tidal wave, and there's, like, roots somehow. Like, either the roots are holding up the tidal wave or the roots are trying to feed
Emily:from the tidal wave. But the extraordinary Stay grounded, but be flexible. Be, moldy, like water.
Lisa:Maybe if you drink from the water rather than, like, breaking in it, to take away some of the power, but it talks a lot about this. Like, something is about to collapse. Like, when you have this many change lines, you're gonna be sensitive and feel something is about to break. Something is about to collapse. So people are gonna feel
Emily:Well, that party started. Right? We've been, you know, we've been getting the tower moments. We've been having a lot of collapse of different and, you know, ends of cycles and a lot of discomfort in the in the cycle shifting phase.
Lisa:Yeah. There's, you know, like, we heard about going through and, you know, us Floridians, going through so many storms and having, like, a hurricane fatigue, it's just like, you know, something collapses and then you have to, like, push through that. And then something hits you again, and you gotta push through that. And then you're just you make it. You're still surviving, but you're so tired, like, from all the changes and trying to regroup and ground.
Lisa:So to your point, like, lots of self care is important. But extraordinary times bring out the best and the worst in people. So keep that in mind. Yeah. You're probably seeing it.
Lisa:One can either move in the direction of positive change and improvement or towards stagnation. So this is really in the next 1 to 3 weeks, keep a lookout. You never know the true extent of your abilities until you, at least once in your life, dive into a crisis with complete abandon, dedicating every ounce of your energy and every Hello. I thought you were gonna say lieutenant Dan. And that.
Lisa:Yeah.
Emily:Yeah. But I I keep thinking I keep imagining the fool card, which is appropriate because Aries is, like, the the child Yeah. Of the zodiac, and it is. It's taking that leap of faith.
Lisa:Yeah. It is very encouraging.
Emily:Quite to the point of it's it's not quite to the point of delusion, but it is very YOLO. It's like Yeah. That's what faith is. Faith is blind.
Lisa:Yes. Dedicate every ounce of your energy and every fiber of your being to the cause at hand. Now is the time. Dare to win. So you can handle the excessive pressure, tap into your youthful folly, You know, take corrective measures if you need to.
Lisa:Don't play in traffic.
Emily:Don't play in traffic, but laugh. Don't laugh while playing in traffic.
Lisa:Yeah. And and accept that people are gonna be running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Like, what's happening? So Yes. And just find your people like me and Emily and the rest in the collective, and we can laugh about it together in a healthy way.
Lisa:Yep. Yeah. And give us a call so you can come on and be a guest with us. Be dare to win and be a guest.
Emily:Dare to win.
Lisa:We do have like I said, we have we do have a few few 5 people in the queue to be a guest, and so I know we got some good ones coming up.
Emily:Dare dare to bear, guys. Wait. Wait a minute. I don't know. I just gotta say the things that pop into my head.
Lisa:That's fine. Just let it let it flow.
Emily:Letting my intrusive thoughts take over.
Lisa:Yeah. It's too late. It's already out there.
Emily:No. If I was gonna do that, this desk would be flipped. Did you ever not do did you ever not? That's not even a sentence. But, like
Lisa:Did I ever put a flip of death? Yes?
Emily:This yeah. This was like, I would always, finish tests early in class. Mhmm. So that's, like, maddening, you know, to just sit there in silence. And sometimes I would try to, like, keep it longer and, like, maybe I should check my work this time, but I was like, it was just maddening for me to try to like, no.
Emily:I'm fucked. I'm done. Yeah. And so that was that was a big, that was a big intrusive thought in the day. Like, what if I just, like was like, run and just, like, threw my desk out the window and
Lisa:Yeah. That's really what one of my I was actually known for that intrusive thought when I worked in corporate.
Emily:Did you let it win?
Lisa:No. But there was point? It happened. We joked about it so much that it became a rumor that people it lived on past my existence there.
Emily:They thought you actually did it one time? Yeah. That's so cool. We're I yeah. I would I would support That's my that's my legacy.
Emily:Let them let them believe it.
Lisa:Yeah. It's it's my legacy. So people that used to work with me, they can, I
Emily:can do it and you just, like, like
Lisa:No? It was it was definitely a joke because I'm was definitely very, for the most part, appearingly very poised and proper except for around my closed, you know, my closed peeps there. And, the inside joke got outside. It just took on a life of its own, but it was actually very helpful because, you know, it made people, like, should we be concerned? Like, they should be careful around her, you know, which is a good thing to have as a female in the corporate world.
Lisa:Like, keep them guessing. That's my tip. Those of you who are still in corporate really anywhere.
Emily:And start a rumor that you're desk slipper.
Lisa:So that they're like, okay. We're gonna listen. We're gonna be careful because she looks calm. You know, very kumbaya zen. But Ice cold, baby.
Lisa:That the rumor is she flipped a desk. So that'll keep you around for a good 20 plus years. And then when you're gone, there's a legacy. And that's Do
Emily:you think Martha Stewart's ever flipped a desk? Yes. Or a table with, like Absolutely. Little sticks on it?
Lisa:Yeah. Didn't she, like, throw pops at people? Like, off the what? Props. What did she say?
Lisa:I mean, I props.
Emily:I don't know. Like, I saw her yelling on on the documentary, I saw her yelling at somebody without a knife. I was like, oh, that's
Lisa:a touchy
Emily:situation. So, hopefully, she didn't throw all the props or, like, garden tools or you know?
Lisa:Hopefully, nothing that would leave a mark.
Emily:Just, like, what was the thing about, like, like like, a bag of a pillowcase full of oranges? Like, you could beat somebody with a with a pillowcase full
Lisa:of orange and not leave a bruise. I've never heard that. I can't believe you just told our listeners that.
Emily:I don't know where I got that. Don't get any ideas, people. Like, don't do that.
Lisa:You're just joking. It's a joke. Duh. Joke.
Emily:I would go play in traffic before you do that. Yes.
Lisa:I have no one taking notes and implementing any of these ideas. Right. But Disclaimer. Disclaimer. It was a joke.
Lisa:Joking. Youthful folly. I do wanna turn that joke into a positive reminder. Going into excessive pressure and trying to attract an abundance for the New Year is I've said it before. It sounds very simple, and it is.
Lisa:But to keep a bowl full of citrus like oranges in the center of your home or kitchen.
Emily:I thought we were taking a left from the oranges. You just brought it right back to the oranges.
Lisa:Take it out of the pack. Don't put it in a pillowcase. Put it in a bowl. If it's a multiple of oranges. It's my tip of the day.
Emily:I know. And your oranges always look that your your camera's a little too high for it. Too high.
Lisa:But I've got I have a new bowl.
Emily:Oranges in the blue glass always look good.
Lisa:So I yes. I oh. Very pleasant. There goes my camera. Anyway, I got a new bowl.
Lisa:My camera's not gonna work anymore, is it? I got a new bowl from Amazon, and, you're just gonna have to envision it because my camera doesn't wanna show you. But, as much as I hate to, put money into one of the largest 3 largest entities that owns the world, they have some good stuff there.
Emily:Hey. I am mad at Amazon, you know.
Lisa:Hey.
Emily:Yeah. Let's put some money in the local economy as well, but
Lisa:sometimes Yeah.
Emily:Amazon is a godsend
Lisa:for I tell you.
Emily:You would. Yeah. I tell you would. Because I also think it's in the interest of self care to, like, go to Walmart as little as possible.
Lisa:Yeah.
Emily:It is. So in that way, Amazon is very pro self care.
Lisa:Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that's for another discussion on another day, but that's looping me back to the whole podcast we listened to about the economy and investing in small businesses and so on and so forth. I'm Sure that will circle back around when we're not so folly minded. Mhmm.
Lisa:Okay. So with that yeah.
Emily:Obama out.
Lisa:Oh, there's a good that really just brings joy. Hey, Lisa.
Emily:Dad, come back. Yeah.
Lisa:Yeah. Anyone who disagrees with us, I don't know.
Emily:He can
Lisa:still sit at my table, but, you know, he really does, like Yeah. Have calming joy. Yeah. He
Emily:does. Barack, if you're listening, come hang with us.
Lisa:Yes, please. I'll cook
Emily:I'll cook for the Obamas. Breakfast dinner? Yeah. That'd be cool. Make him some gumbo.
Lisa:Sure. Yeah. I think I
Emily:I can hear him sing. They'd be down.
Lisa:Oh, yeah. Yeah. Bring the kids.
Emily:Were you gonna do an impression?
Lisa:No. No. Everything all of my impressions turn into a Canadian pirate, so I just
Emily:Mine all turn into, like, Apu from the Simpsons. It's not it's not okay. Yeah.
Lisa:That sounds offensive. I mean, literally, when I'm trying
Emily:to do like, I can't do don't ask me to do, like, an Irish or a Scottish accent. It will it will do that instead. Yeah.
Lisa:That's okay. I understand. We're not we're not all good at accent, impersonations.
Emily:Although Olivia and I were doing Lois, yesterday, in fact.
Lisa:Oh, yes.
Emily:We had a lot of youthful folly with that. PETA. I'll have to get her on.
Lisa:See who's this better. I would like to do that. Yeah. Yeah. We'll have a kid episode one day.
Emily:She does a good Marge Simpson too.
Lisa:I imagine her too. Yep.
Emily:Pretty sweet. A randomly good, Rosie Perez impression that I'm not going to do on here. But, I'll bust it out. It has to be, like, organic. You know?
Emily:But I was I was cheering on Marcus one day as he was hip thrusting, and and he was like, I'm gonna kill you because he just couldn't stop laughing.
Lisa:Aw. That's fantastic.
Emily:Yeah.
Lisa:That's really nice.
Emily:What a special think white men can't jump rosy.
Lisa:Oh, yeah.
Emily:Yeah. It's my specialty. Yeah. Completely useless talent Yeah. In that way.
Lisa:I like how anything that she is an actress in, it's like the part like, she's herself and everything.
Emily:Yes. Yes.
Lisa:Just just talk. Kinda like Nick Cage. Nick Cage is in himself. Just exist. Yeah.
Lisa:Just exist in yourself and we'll build the movie around you.
Emily:Alright. It's good. Good vibes. Just a few tangents today, guys.
