And I'm sure a lot of you listeners will resonate with with Sarah's story and her experience. But thank you so much, sir, for coming on and joining us on the ending body Burn out Show. West. Stoked to have you.
00;03;48;16 - 00;03;59;16
Sarah
Hi, Christian Filly. It's really nice to be here. Yeah, it's really nice to be here. I've been part of a journey with you guys and yeah, really happy to share my story.
00;03;59;18 - 00;04;00;26
Chris
Awesome.
00;04;00;28 - 00;04;26;23
Filly
Thank you so much. Who I really like. It's always awesome to hear someone else's journey, and there's actually science around it that when you share your own story, especially when there's a positive outcome and then others get to hear that story, that there's actually healing benefits in that. So you're giving a gift to not just to yourself but to everyone else who's going to listen to this.
00;04;26;23 - 00;04;31;23
Filly
I'm so happy that you're here. Thank you so much.
00;04;31;25 - 00;04;32;25
Sarah
Thank you.
00;04;32;28 - 00;04;46;29
Filly
All right. So you had already been on quite the healing journey before you worked with us. Can you take us right back to the start when your body started showing signs of symptoms and what that looks like for you?
00;04;47;02 - 00;05;12;04
Sarah
Yeah, I guess when I think about it, when you know, from when I've been very young, you know, maybe even four years old, I've always been really small, a small build. And I was always really fussy around foods and had, you know, a lot of sensitivity around taste and textures and just my gut being sensitive to things and not feeling good.
00;05;12;04 - 00;05;36;27
Sarah
So being very particular, everything had to be perfect, you know, And yeah, and I also had really thin hair and just low energy as well and always had anxiety and a little bit of fear and, you know, I was always a little bit scared of the world. You know, I loved to be home with my mom and dad in my safe place.
00;05;36;27 - 00;06;02;17
Sarah
And, you know, I was a little princess and that's where I was safe and loved and protected. And yeah, I guess I grew up with that as sort of part of me. It's never really changed. I've always had fussiness around food and felt scared of the world, and that was just part of who I was and what I had come to accept about myself.
00;06;02;17 - 00;06;07;08
Sarah
And in many ways. Mm hmm. Yeah.
00;06;07;09 - 00;06;32;05
Filly
It's so we will probably we will get more into that side of things a little bit later on. But it's always it's the same story for everyone, like the when we are adults and we end up with body burn out and symptoms and dysfunctions, it doesn't just come out of nowhere. It's not kind of like one day you wake up, Oh, I've got issues now.
00;06;32;05 - 00;06;38;29
Filly
There's usually like this built up almost like a pressure cooker that's building up over time, have a combination of lots of stuff.
00;06;39;01 - 00;07;02;22
Sarah
Yeah, no, it is. And I can see that now, you know, now I can see it. And it's kind of like just been variations of the same thing and little build ups and triggers and flare ups that were just Yeah. A bit of a Yeah. It's always just been sort of that same same ride through my life and yeah, I, yeah, just always seemed normal.
00;07;02;29 - 00;07;24;16
Sarah
Yeah. Know. Yeah. Who I was then. Yeah. Kind of didn't need to make sense. It just was me and I just learnt to manage it really and, and try to, you know, health and wellbeing has always been really important to my family and to me. So I've always just found, you know, been searching for answers all the time and just Yeah.
00;07;24;18 - 00;07;29;13
Sarah
Found things and felt they worked and yeah. Just been on that journey.
00;07;29;15 - 00;07;35;11
Filly
Mm. And at some point you were diagnosed with gastritis. Is that. That's right isn't it.
00;07;35;14 - 00;08;06;12
Sarah
Yeah. Well just before I found you guys. Yeah I sort of, I had, I've been, I've always dipped in and out of the medical system as well. I grew up with going to the doctor and as well as searching for natural therapies. So yeah, I had been for a colonoscopy and I'd had tests and, you know, I'd been told I had gastritis and yeah, yeah, but I still had no answers as to what to do with that.
00;08;06;13 - 00;08;31;13
Sarah
So I was really lost and confused. And I'm trying all the things as you do, and I tried naturopathy and acupuncture. Sure. And, you know, things that really did work for me, but I was still not getting all the answers that I needed. I still knew there was more to my health and I just couldn't quite connect the dots.
00;08;31;20 - 00;08;44;12
Filly
Mhm. And when you say it was working for you, was it kind of like symptoms improved but then it never really resolved. Like it kind of was just fluctuating. Is that how it was showing up, feel differently?
00;08;44;13 - 00;09;09;06
Sarah
Absolutely. I've always had periods in my life where, you know, I've had really good health and I felt really on track and in my flow. And but then I seem to come back to, you know, what I probably would describe as a flare up and just, yeah, a variation of the same sort of symptoms, gut issues and, you know, maybe a rash and just just different things happening.
00;09;09;06 - 00;09;38;09
Sarah
And my anxiety really flaring up and just becoming really introverted and just going what is happening, you know, and I'm really aware of that and able to sort of, I guess, use meditation and things like that to get myself back into a space that I'm functioning and I'm, you know, back to living my dream but at the same time always had a bit of a feeling that there was more to it that I just couldn't quite open.
00;09;38;09 - 00;10;05;12
Sarah
So I still felt very much like I was always searching for something and I was always reading and listening to podcasts. And I mean, I enjoy that. So I loved it as well. But, you know, I guess, you know, having flare ups as well would just bring you back crashing down to, you know, that Have you got really anywhere or you're back to somewhere that, you know, you were trying to get out of and you're back there?
00;10;05;14 - 00;10;11;06
Filly
Yeah, it's almost like you felt like you hadn't quite got to the root of the issue.
00;10;11;08 - 00;10;22;11
Sarah
Definitely. I definitely hadn't got to the root rate issue. And I, I felt like I was close, but I just couldn't get there. I couldn't get there on my own. I really couldn't. Yeah.
00;10;22;13 - 00;11;01;09
Filly
Okay. So then you reached out to us and we started off with lab testing. So that's what we call the answers space. So you can't have physical symptoms without there being some sort of body system imbalance. And so understanding where the body systems are at are a big part of the picture that people don't tend to do, especially if you've kind of been more in the medical system where tests are run, but they're really looking for diseases or looking for a way that they can medicate or is surgery to try and Band-Aid the symptom most of the time.
00;11;01;11 - 00;11;06;14
Filly
So when you did your lab testing, are you happy to share some of the findings?
00;11;06;17 - 00;11;08;10
Sarah
Absolutely, yeah.
00;11;08;14 - 00;11;10;05
Filly
Do you remember?
00;11;10;07 - 00;11;22;05
Sarah
I do. Well, I do, because I had some I had pathogen which I've had on and off, you know, I've had these before. So and they, I had some really nasty ones e.
00;11;22;08 - 00;11;23;01
Filly
Call I.
00;11;23;06 - 00;11;55;21
Sarah
I had a cold which is really nasty and I had deficiencies which I have had, you know, ongoing. That's something I've always been tested. So those things I was kind of expecting, but they were a bit nastier than I thought and a lot more than I thought. Yeah. And I had Candida, which I kind of, I kind of had always felt a bit too, because I had been on the contraceptive pill and had antibiotics all my life.
00;11;55;21 - 00;12;19;28
Sarah
And so that those were things that I felt, you know, I'd always felt that might be there. So that kind of validated that. But I was surprised about my renal and being stage to adrenal fatigue. That was I mean, I was exhausted. So I guess, you know, afterwards I felt, you know, relief in some sense that that was the case.
00;12;19;28 - 00;12;22;09
Sarah
But I was surprised.
00;12;22;12 - 00;12;25;15
Filly
Why were you surprised about that one?
00;12;25;18 - 00;12;58;16
Sarah
I think I was surprised because I take such good care of myself. Yeah. And I'm so you know, I do all the things, you know, I, I live a really healthy life with lots of really healthy habits. And, you know, I just was surprised that I could let myself get into that, like, I suppose. And. Yeah, and the other thing that shocked me that really shocked me was my microbiome, you know?
00;12;58;19 - 00;13;23;24
Sarah
So, you know, I had always taken supplements and done the things and followed thing done really cleanly. I was so clean and healthy living. I mean, I live in the forest, you know, and I I'm always, you know, doing everything so perfectly, which was sort of, you know, what I had to discover about myself wasn't, you know, helping.
00;13;23;24 - 00;13;48;22
Sarah
And yeah, yeah, I was I was so it was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, finding out, you know, everything as well. But yeah, it was amazing because it gives you some real understanding of your body and where it's actually at. Like, I was just surprised altogether with how many things were actually happening in my body and all the different systems.
00;13;48;25 - 00;13;57;28
Filly
I do actually remember the lab review consult with you. It was just like, Wow, wow, wow. But then after is like, how what do we do now?
00;13;58;01 - 00;14;19;08
Sarah
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I think it took me about two days to recover from it. So because it actually I really did. I went through something. I was going, Oh my gosh, I don't know. Just so many emotions, you know, like, I just. Yeah, it is. You go through all these emotions with it, but you come back to which is why you do it with you guys.
00;14;19;08 - 00;14;39;28
Sarah
You know, you really do need somebody there with you. That kind of you through it. And there's a lot to take in. And I was so overwhelmed at that stage, which I didn't realise just how overwhelmed I was getting about things. And that was really hard for me to take it all in as well, even though I was so excited to find out.
00;14;40;01 - 00;14;41;18
Sarah
So yeah.
00;14;41;22 - 00;15;14;11
Filly
MM And that probably like leads into what we call the root, the root root cause. So in our ending body burnout method, it's not just, oh, here's some lab tests and takes in supplements and he's some diets, it's oh, why did the body systems burn out in the first place, especially for someone like you, who you had been on a journey for a long time and you were eating really well and you were living off grid and, you know, nature and meditation and all that sort of stuff, It's like, well, hang on, Why?
00;15;14;11 - 00;15;35;27
Filly
Why is there a stage to adrenal fatigue and why is the microbiome so too plated? And also your neurotransmitters were quite to play that as well. So there was a real kind of stress component to it. So I'm happy to talk about you like what you discovered around Body Mind connections, and this is what we do for our listeners.
00;15;35;27 - 00;15;45;26
Filly
We call this part of the process Spark. So where we're going into the deepest root cause, which often comes back to what's happening in the unconscious state.
00;15;45;29 - 00;16;16;12
Sarah
Absolutely. And I love this part of the journey. You know, I was a little bit resistant to doing the full ending body burnout method. But, you know, I've come to learn that that part of protecting who we are as well. And I'm so grateful I did it because I knew so many things about myself, but I discovered so much more, you know, and I found out that I had this belief that I am helpless.
00;16;16;14 - 00;16;36;26
Sarah
And, you know, I, I would have never been able to identify that myself. You know, I knew a lot. I knew I was scared. And I knew that, you know, I didn't trust everything. But, you know, it really helped me to get to the root root or which was, you know, this and this belief that I am helpless.
00;16;36;28 - 00;17;10;05
Sarah
And, you know, there was also a little bit there that was coming. That was I'm not good enough. And it was just the fit being, you know, it was fuelling my fear and my worry and it was, you know, creating dizziness. I was losing my flow and I was going into this busyness and perfectionism mode and yeah, and I was I was exhausting myself, you know, then I would feel shame because, you know, I wasn't always healing myself or whatever I was doing.
00;17;10;08 - 00;17;34;24
Sarah
You know, I wasn't doing things perfectly. I was yeah, I had this underlying fear and it was affecting everything about myself. And, you know, you go through this journey of discovery, there was a reckoning phase, which I just loved because, you know, even all my symptoms, it was, you know, showing, you know, anxiety is not trusting the flow of life.
00;17;34;24 - 00;17;58;29
Sarah
I mean, it was just perfect for where I could just see it all in front of me. And, you know, just all my my, my gut issues, you know, a fear of letting go of the past. So there were all these connections which completely made sense. And just even I had rosacea my rosacea on my face was really inflamed.
00;17;58;29 - 00;18;41;27
Sarah
And, you know, rosacea is what we represent to the world. Like your face is what you represent to the world. So, yes, I could see all these connections and it just allowed me to look at myself with, you know, more love and kindness and go, you know, and you kind of feel, yeah, you have to be really vulnerable and honest, which again, comes back to, you know, needing support to go through it because you have to really be able to dig deep and take those layers away and you know, the way the programme is designed is, you know, with these outlets which are activities which, you know, when you're doing them, each one, then you
00;18;41;27 - 00;19;08;14
Sarah
know, it brings a piece of the puzzle together and you do actually finally connect the dots. It's only by doing each of those activities and really sitting back and looking at it that, you know, it's very it's very clever the way it's done and it's really powerful. It's almost got a simplicity to it, but it so powerful. And I think that's what I really loved about it was that it's such a journey of discovery and understanding.
00;19;08;17 - 00;19;24;02
Sarah
When you discover something about yourself, you, you can you can see yourself with a new perspective and not to ponder a more loving and yet love that and the whole thing. Yeah.
00;19;24;04 - 00;19;50;02
Filly
And it's it's just so similar to just the way that we use the lab tests as well. It's like these are the physical imbalances. Well, here's a process to where we can look at all the unconscious imbalances and what's going on down below that's flaring. Or they're like not and not stress. But your response to stress, it's almost like this in a tiger chasing you, especially when it comes back to deeper core beliefs.
00;19;50;02 - 00;20;15;24
Filly
So like, it completely makes sense that if you had a core unconscious belief of being hopeless, then yeah, like the world is scary and you do have to work harder to be perfect at everything and do, do, do like even when it comes to healing the body as well, then sometimes it can cause more stress if those underlying deep root causes aren't being addressed.
00;20;15;26 - 00;20;32;08
Filly
Because it's like I actually like every cell in my body consciously, I want to do this, but there's something deeper inside of me that actually believes I can't say it. It's almost like this running on a what is it, the hamster wheel?
00;20;32;10 - 00;20;54;10
Sarah
But lately, yeah, it was affecting my connectedness to myself and to others and to my, you know, to the whole world, really. You know, it was just affecting that which yeah, it's just such a big deal. You can see you can completely say why, why that would affect your health and why you are sort of lost in the confusion of it.
00;20;54;10 - 00;21;20;20
Sarah
You know, it's exhausting because your, you know, your energy is just going into trying to you're internalising these worries and things and know stopping your your being on your mindfulness and your connection with yourself and and your body and your mind and just yeah, not not connecting and, and being.
00;21;20;23 - 00;21;22;07
Chris
So good.
00;21;22;10 - 00;21;23;10
Sarah
Yeah.
00;21;23;13 - 00;21;26;00
Chris
I've been really quiet so far.
00;21;26;02 - 00;21;28;04
Filly
He's been getting a lot of little noises.
00;21;28;07 - 00;21;28;27
Chris
Yeah.
00;21;28;29 - 00;21;31;14
Filly
Sound bites of Sarah.
00;21;31;16 - 00;21;59;26
Chris
My when, when I listen to a story. So for example your story I like to map it out and, and just so I can see the flow of it and, and this is from, from what you've said, you know, you started off coming. You came to us with a with a symptom or a sign of a symptom. You know, you, you had a problem that you wanted help with.
00;21;59;28 - 00;22;40;07
Chris
It might have come across as gastritis or got rashes, flare ups, that that sort of thing. And you wanted to initially, initially, that was the that was what you're aware of. Hey, that was the the stuff that you initially came to us for, for that help. Yeah. But then through the process of, of, you know, digging into the root root causes and, and how your body system started falling apart, you connected the dots from when you grew up as a little girl being anxious, searching for that love and safety and protection.
00;22;40;15 - 00;23;13;29
Chris
And as you grew up, you implemented some safety nets, maybe some some safety mechanisms, some ways of dealing with the world and helping yourself to to live in it by doing naturopathy, acupuncture. You mentioned meditation and supplements. And and I wrote down that you you tried to do it perfectly and you tried to take care of yourself and even moved off grid and you moved to a beautiful, beautiful natural habitat where.
00;23;14;01 - 00;23;17;13
Filly
We got to do it. Let's do it perfectly in the forest.
00;23;17;15 - 00;23;44;20
Chris
And, and then, and then when you had lab testing to, to, to look inside at the body systems and where they were, you realised, wow, there's something that needs to be start. There's few things that need to be kickstarted. Adrenals weren't working the way they should. There were some deficiencies. There were some things that need to be killed off, like overgrowth and pathogens and and not so good bacterias and microbiomes.
00;23;44;20 - 00;24;07;16
Chris
And you needed to kind of play around with that gut. Yeah, I can imagine that there there was some surprise and some shock. And because you've been trying you've been trying for a long time to to make things right. My fingers did the, you know, the inverted the speech. But you're trying to do things perfect. You're trying to do things right.
00;24;07;16 - 00;24;34;27
Chris
And then you said that that brought some shame and some guilt and frustrations, like, oh, what the heck do I do now? So you've kind of talked about this a little bit, but but can you take us to the moment when when you realised that what we were doing with you and our program specifically SPARK, it was actually working to solve your problem?
00;24;35;00 - 00;25;04;25
Sarah
Yeah. And you know, Chris, you just reminded me as well, I sort of have two moments because you reminded me my first coaching session, 1 to 1 with you was, you know, a really significant for me because in that session you reminded me that everything is actually inside of me and that I am enough that somewhere on my journey, I had broken rapport with myself.
00;25;04;28 - 00;25;31;24
Sarah
Mm hmm. And it restored trust in myself. And you know, from that, that session, I really, you know, I took away a visualise ation and some words that you'd even back to me that I had said, you know, And yeah, it just restored something back in me that I grew up with too, you know, And I had that, you know, we all do, you know, we all are enough in some way.
00;25;31;24 - 00;26;02;22
Sarah
We do break, you know, our rapport with ourselves and so going back to that may just and having that trust again, it just I don't know, it gave me that permission again to to trust myself and, you know, trust in the process of life and, you know, in the power of the universe. And. Yes. And the other thing was the other part of the process that was really beautiful for me was the that the NL.
00;26;02;24 - 00;26;04;02
Chris
P Hmm.
00;26;04;02 - 00;26;11;25
Sarah
Yeah, neuro linguistic programming. Yeah. Which was 28 days and oh yeah.
00;26;11;28 - 00;26;15;13
Chris
Nervous system regulation rewired practice.
00;26;15;13 - 00;26;15;24
Filly
Yeah.
00;26;15;25 - 00;26;39;27
Sarah
Oh, it was just so, I mean, from the beginning with the sensory anchor, I mean, I just, yeah, that's been so powerful for me. And you know, I had a couple of audios in there. They were audios and they just took me to these moments, you know, in my life when and made me realise those same things, you know, that I am enough.
00;26;39;27 - 00;27;07;12
Sarah
And yeah, just all the emotions and love that it brought inside of me. I mean, sometimes I had tears coming down my cheek, but not because I was sad, because it was just so intense and beautiful and yeah, and I knew and I thought my supplements were really working in as well and my body was feeling better and it was healing and I was healing and I was just, oh, this feeling.
00;27;07;16 - 00;27;33;23
Sarah
Yeah. I just when I knew it was all, all really working. And yeah, I was really grateful and I was just loving the journey and I just. Yeah, I mean, that's beautiful. Really important. Yes. I want you to full was great, and I did it with my husband, this journey and I just loved as well that we both had such different experiences along the way.
00;27;33;23 - 00;27;55;24
Sarah
And you know, it's, it's a unique journey because you are unique. So, you know, you can go along this journey however you need to do that. What I really loved about it so and so for me, a lot of it was just connecting back to reminding myself of know who I am and what I really am capable of.
00;27;55;24 - 00;28;26;27
Sarah
And you know, the things about myself that I have always known. And you know, that doubt and fear is, is okay. That's just part of a lot of change and protecting yourself and and just putting things into a perspective that that makes it safe and like, you know, that know you can trust, you can trust yourself and you can be your own self, your own got all these tools and the rituals that we've learned have all just been really powerful.
00;28;26;29 - 00;29;13;18
Chris
That's awesome. Who who I am. I love that you you had an opportunity to to rewrite your identity, your statement about yourself. Hey, this belief about yourself, you went from being this little girl princess who who needed the who needed to be rescued and save this damsel in distress to. How can I can I say, can I share like that the meme that I shared with you after how like a lioness, you know, this this warrior princess, almost like a Xena, Xena warrior princess.
00;29;13;20 - 00;29;15;02
Chris
Do you remember that?
00;29;15;04 - 00;29;38;25
Sarah
Yeah, I do. I do love every morning I still do my stretch after breakfast, then. Yeah, I'm doing my warrior princess. That's part of my my first move. When I'm doing my stretch and my yoga pose, I'm doing warrior princess and circle sets up. I just smile. It sets up my morning and my whole self just smiles, you know?
00;29;38;25 - 00;30;03;14
Sarah
And I'm, you know, back to listening to my, you know, wisdom and believing in myself. I'm exactly who I'm supposed to be. You know, I have this set of affirmations that I created since that experience I had with you. And I still do it, you know, it's like a little variation of it, but it's still going strong. And it brings me joy and it just set me up for my day so beautifully.
00;30;03;14 - 00;30;06;26
Sarah
And yeah, I'm just. I love it.
00;30;06;28 - 00;30;08;21
Chris
Yeah, that's so cool.
00;30;08;21 - 00;30;18;14
Filly
I love getting, receiving your, your outlet work. And it was just Warrior princess. Warrior princess. I am a warrior princess and like, yeah, I love it.
00;30;18;16 - 00;30;19;04
Sarah
Yeah.
00;30;19;07 - 00;30;21;03
Filly
I love it. So.
00;30;21;05 - 00;30;41;23
Sarah
You know, I mean, I believe in unicorns still so I know, I know. Somewhere along the journey, I stopped believing in myself a little bit. And, you know, not completely, because I do have a lot of courage and, you know, I'm really capable and consciously I was making lots of great choices, but unconsciously I was a little bit not okay.
00;30;41;26 - 00;31;10;01
Sarah
And so, you know, it's just coming back to understanding why that's happening and yen and having having some support there and you know that guidance may help you to to expect I don't know to go on your journey and be okay and come out the other side and. Yeah. Mhm.
00;31;10;04 - 00;31;10;19
Chris
So cool.
00;31;10;24 - 00;31;22;19
Filly
So cool. So what does life look like for you now. Where, what wins are you seeing in your health and in other areas of your life?
00;31;22;21 - 00;31;55;06
Sarah
My life is I just, I feel a real sense of relief and freedom. You know, I start every day. I don't jump out of bed and rush into my busyness. I actually lay in bed for ages and I do some breathwork and some visualisations and I, I, you know, keep myself intentions for the day to honour my mind, body and soul.
00;31;55;06 - 00;32;23;07
Sarah
And I often smile while I'm doing this. It brings me great joy. And then I yeah, I have a beautiful morning routine that I still do. And yeah, I, I still I breathe and I, I just enjoy the process much more again now and I understand myself and I'm able to have this beautiful flow. And you know, I often have my hot drink out.
00;32;23;08 - 00;32;50;14
Sarah
I live in Tassie, in the forest, so I have my hot drink on my veranda and fresh and there's lots of sounds and it's such a huge sensory anchor that I love to do every morning. And yeah, I do my strength and my visualisation and you know, in my day I'm just, yeah, I, you know, it's not all, you know, when I'm out of flow because I do still get out of flow.
00;32;50;14 - 00;33;18;08
Sarah
I just did it at work on Friday, you know, And the thing is I'm so aware of it now and I understand what's happening and, you know, I'm able to correct that. So, you know, I'm aware when I'm off because I go into a bit of busyness or I start to flounder and not achieve anything and I'm kind of in one space or the other instead of in my in my flow.
00;33;18;08 - 00;33;46;26
Sarah
And so I'm able to bring myself back, you know, and to listen to myself and trust and and forgive and accept myself as well and just, you know, get back into my flow and yeah, able to feel sensations in my body, you know, with curiosity. You know, I enjoy it now going, oh, what's this? You know. And yeah, I had little thing going on my finger a couple of weeks ago or something.
00;33;46;26 - 00;33;52;05
Sarah
Oh what fingers mean, You know, like I love that. It's all like, oh, what is this, man? You know, what's happening?
00;33;52;05 - 00;33;54;05
Filly
And what are you trying to tell me, buddy?
00;33;54;07 - 00;34;24;14
Sarah
You know why? What's going on? And yeah, just. Yeah, a lot more. A lot more. Back to myself because I am a very loving person and just. Yeah, I to myself and who I am. And I'm just a lot calmer and, you know, more energised because I have more time for myself and space for myself to be who I want to be.
00;34;24;14 - 00;34;48;06
Sarah
You know, I've really discovered on this journey and it's part of the program, you know, that last part was probably the hardest part for me actually, but the most rewarding because, you know, it was about looking at who I want to be and what I need to be that person and and have that life and that energy and that flow.
00;34;48;06 - 00;35;10;07
Sarah
And now that I've done that and discovered it's, you know, I yeah, there's no turning back. And it's given me tools that I can use. And I go in and out of rituals and you know, I'm really kind to myself. I don't, you know, do something one day. That's okay. I don't have to be perfect. I am perfect, actually.
00;35;10;07 - 00;35;51;15
Sarah
But I don't have to be perfect. I'm just me and yeah, what tools and tricks and yeah, just I just enjoy it. I enjoy it because it's so nourishing to me and who I've always wanted to be. And yeah, just been able to find that place and you know, there's still, it's still a journey and I've still got things to navigate, but I just feel so much more trust in my abilities and, and where I'm going and I'm doing things, you know, I've always been living my dream, but now I feel like I'm doing it with a lot more heart, a lot more intention.
00;35;51;15 - 00;35;56;08
Sarah
And, you know, it just feels better.
00;35;56;11 - 00;35;57;16
Filly
So beautiful.
00;35;57;16 - 00;35;58;09
Chris
Really cool.
00;35;58;11 - 00;36;05;27
Filly
What about what about the symptoms you came in with as well? Have you noticed changes there?
00;36;06;00 - 00;36;39;20
Sarah
Yeah, I have. I have. Well, yes, I have. I don't have any pain and I've yeah, I've just seen my I do still have a little bit of fear and worries that pop up, but just so much calmer. I've got, I've just got some really nice rituals in my day that are setting me up and in terms of my body, it being a lot more relaxed because for me that deeper sense of self just affects my whole body.
00;36;39;22 - 00;37;18;06
Sarah
And you know, when I do get a little bit of discomfort in my tummy, I can automatically think about what's happening in my world. I can, you know, I've got a little set of questions as well from the program that I can use and okay, yeah, I can see and see what's happening. And so it's just yeah, I haven't had any flare ups and no, when I'm at the beginning of thing, you know, and I can feel that not, you know, I'm able to use some technique to get myself back on track.
00;37;18;06 - 00;37;50;11
Sarah
So I've been a lot more relaxed and a lot more, you know, I'm really capable, I guess, of healing myself. And I'm yeah, I don't have any symptoms of thoughts. I'm not having a flare up any more. I'm just I'm navigating those situations and I'm saying I'm seeing the connections. I've connected the dots of being connected the dots.
00;37;50;11 - 00;38;06;01
Sarah
And I know I know how to, you know, nourish myself and get back on track and be kind to myself. And it made all the difference to all of my physical symptoms along So beautiful.
00;38;06;01 - 00;38;07;06
Filly
I love it.
00;38;07;09 - 00;38;42;00
Chris
That's so cool. We have probably got oh, there's a lot of people who've who've come into our world recently directly from our podcast Heyfield. And so if you're listening to this and you're thinking, Sarah sounds just like me. Hello, nice, nice to see you out there listening to us. But there's also some people who who we've talked to that feel that could I could never get those sort of results.
00;38;42;04 - 00;39;07;01
Chris
There's no hope. I haven't had any success this this feels like it. There's no hope for me. What would you say to some people out there who might be stuck in in cycles of body burnout, who might be struggling to get anywhere, who might feel like maybe there's no hope for them From your experience.
00;39;07;04 - 00;39;52;10
Sarah
Just I guess I would say, you know, you don't have to just manage your symptoms and you're not broken. You know, health is well and you are not, and you too can be stronger than you ever imagined. And you know, it is a little bit scary to reach out. And, you know, I was scared, too. But, you know, some feeling you're going to hold your hand and take you on a journey that is going to, you know, empower you and free you and, you know, give you the health and vitality and energy that you know, that you're looking for.
00;39;52;10 - 00;40;20;18
Sarah
So, yeah, give it a go and try new. It's just such a valuable thing to do for yourself and you will discover so much and yeah, and you'll also come to appreciate yourself. You know, it's not about just looking at things and going, Oh, you know, all this stuff. It's about really appreciating who you are and what you have achieved.
00;40;20;18 - 00;40;37;29
Sarah
And you know, there's a lot of there's so many things to celebrate along the journey. And, you know, that's what I liked about it, too. And and just now, you know, you get you and look after yourself. And it's an amazing place to be.
