Ep. 7 Connection with Marla Beech

Elevate the Individual - Episode 7 Transcript

This is Lacey Jones and this is episode seven, connection with Marla Beach. Before we dig into our special guest today, I want to just to give you a quick little highlight or thought to think about before we dive in. And over the past couple of years, we have experienced isolation like never before. Some people have experienced it quite literally, while others have felt emotionally isolated from others as a result of different social protocols and expectations. Well, isolation can lead to disconnection and loneliness. In the past couple of months, there have been times where I have personally felt isolated and a sense of loneliness kind of creeping in as a result of changes in circumstances and the stories that I created about those changes. And one of the things I've learned through my coaching journey is that the quickest way to the other side of an emotion is to lean into it, to feel it and to experience it rather than to resist it. As I have come to experience loneliness and isolation in the past couple of months, there was this one time where I was really feeling the isolation and the heaviness of just feeling like I was alone. Now, I knew that my feeling was being caused by the story that I had created about a certain situation. And as a result, I was trying really hard to rewrite that story. I was clinging to and the painful thought that I had become an island and it wasn't working because I was still trying to resist and avoid all of it. And it was at this point that I decided, hey, I need to just lean into it and I need to really take a look at what it means to feel isolated and what it means to feel alone.

So I had a really, really good.

Cry, a really good, ugly cry, right? And I noticed how my body was reacting to feeling alone. And as my husband sat with me, at one point, I didn't try to hide or cover up my thoughts. I just let it all be and I cried some more. And you know what? It was so healing. And as the wave of isolation passed through me and out the other side, I started looking for ways that I can create connection in my life. I started taking responsibility for the connections I was seeking and took ownership of my thoughts and actions as I created new and deeper connections. We'll fast forward a bit, and this is where today's guest enters my life. And I find it so fascinating that her focus and passion in life is teaching women how to find connection, connection to their time, their life and themselves.

So we're going to jump right into.

That interview at this point so you can all meet my new friend.

All right. I am so excited. We are here with Marla, who is a new friend of mine that I met. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I went to a coaching conference. And on that last day of the conference, I pushed myself a little bit outside of my comfort zone to meet some new people. I set a goal to meet someone new in each class that we attended. And Marla happened to be standing in front of me at Neaters as we gathered lunch. And she looked really nice and that she would be easy to talk to, so I pushed myself to say hello. So, Marla, welcome to the podcast. I am so excited to have you here.

I'm really excited to be here with you. That was really such a nice way to meet you. You were so kind, and I loved it. I didn't want to eat alone, and I was so happy to meet you.

Well, I kept feeling the urge to say hello, say hello, say hello. And I would say that it took me quite some time to respond to that. But I'm glad that we got to have lunch together, and I am so glad you're on here. One of the things I loved about meeting you is you've created things like, you are a creative soul. And that, to me, is so important and huge in my world. And so I want to give you time and space to tell us about who you are. Tell us your story, kind of introduce that, and we'll go into your creativity aspects. But tell us kind of your story and who you are.

Well, my name is Marla Beach, and yes, I am a creative soul. I don't know why, but from early age, I've always been a creative soul. But I am a 50 year old wife of a man that I really adore, and we've been married for 27 years. But he waited for me while I went on a mission for my church. So I count that we've been together for 29, almost 30 years now.

Awesome.

Together. We have four pretty much grown up children now. My oldest son was married to a really great girl this year, and so we're happy to have a new member of our family. I also have two daughters that are 24 and 20 off doing wonderful things. And then my youngest son is a senior in high school. So I'm in a phase of life that I actually never thought that I'd reach, and I still feel like I'm 20. So it's weird that I have three kids that are older than me, but here I am. So I'm also the owner of Hunky Dory, which is a business that I built and that I love very much. And I design and create travelers notebooks and fabric inserts, and I'm also a teacher and a mentor for women. I love to teach about connection. It's the thing that I feel drawn to talk about, and I'll tell you more about that as we get going. But I just want every woman to feel the excitement of endless possibilities that are unique to her because the gifts and talents that she has are unique. And because I'm a self connection coach, my greatest desire is to mentor women through the different seasons of her life and so that she feels fully connected to herself, so that she can take that and connect with the people that are most important to her in her life. And she can do that better when she's connected to herself. So that's kind of about what I do see.

And isn't that amazing that we ended up in line next to each other? And the experiences that you've had, you love to create. You love connection and relationships. And the thought of improving the individual to become who they are uniquely and their gifts and their experiences so that they can show up in their just it blows me away that imagine that, that we got to stand next to each other in needers and got to talk and meet. So that was totally awesome because I'm in Seattle.

You are in I'm in Utah, right? Okay. Yeah.

But I love how the universe, quote unquote, puts us together and we can meet new people. So I'm excited for my listeners to meet you. And a couple of follow up questions. Hunky dory. Where did that come from?

Well, I could tell you the whole story of that. I do have a whole episode about it, but if you want me to tell you about it, I am happy to do that.

Give me a little condensed version, but if you know the episode number yeah.

I looked it up. It's episode 13 in case you asked. Okay, so I was looking for a business, and I had avoided learning a new creative thing because I get sucked into all the creative things. But I had learned about these travelers notebooks. They're usually made of leather, and I learned that you could make them out of fabric. And I'm like, I'm not going to go down that route. But I did. I finally did. I gave into it. And so I started making them and I started making up my own because I wanted it to be something I could use. Now, back when I first started this, my kids were all at home. Well, one was on a mission, but my oldest daughter came in and I showed her what I was making. And also another backstory is that I could not come up with a name for what I wanted to call my business. I had written pages and pages of ideas, and they're usually called Midori travelers Notebooks. That was the first people that ever made them as far as I know, and so they were called Midori's. Now she comes in unknowing any of this story and she looks at what I'm making and she says, that's hunky dory. And I went, that is it. That is it. And I spell it with two E's. Because my last name's beach, so it's Hunky with Dory from midori. So there you go. There's my quick story.

That is awesome.

My daughter named it.

She's awesome, that girl. Okay, that's awesome. So you mentioned creating the traveler's notebook. My question for you is, what led you to create? Was there a need for this creation? So why don't you dive into that a little bit?

Yes. To create the traveler's notebook, I have a bad shoulder, and so when I carry a purse, if I have too much in it, it throws me off, and I have shoulder hurts. So I am a planner. I have lots of things that I like to carry with me. So I was carrying my planner and my wallet and a bunch of stuff in my purse, and I was just too much. And because of the way travelers notebooks are made, I wanted to make it so that I could put everything in one place so my planner could be in there and my wallet. So what led me to design a traveler's notebook is I wanted to put a zipper in the back, and I have 30 years experience as a seamstress so I could make my own patterns. So I put a zipper in the back so I could put my money in it. I created fabric inserts for it, as opposed to just notebooks so that I could put all the stuff I put in my wallet. So now I had everything in one place. So that's what led me to the traveler's notebook creation.

You mentioned putting a zipper in something. I like to sew, and I'm all about fabrics and different patterns and all that, but putting a zipper in, I'm like, oh, good thing. There's Marla, who loves putting zippers in things. I like it.

I'm not saying zippers are my favorite thing, but once you've done enough alterations of other people's clothes and putting zippers I hate putting zippers in Levi's, let's say that's one of the things I really hate. That's awesome.

Okay with that. How did creating this traveler's notebook, how did it affect your mental health? Did it have an impact on your mental health?

Well, it absolutely did, and I have lots of stories on things. That how this stuff happens. So if you don't mind, I'm going to kind of take you back a little while and how I came up with everything that's in my business and how I created it all, because one of my biggest beliefs is and it's because I told you I'm 50. So I've lived a while, and I've had lots of experiences, but as I look back, I realize that everything that I've done has led me to what I need to do next. So that's why I share kind of long stories. So when we first moved here from where we lived before, we didn't especially want to leave. We loved where we lived. We loved the people that we I'll cry about it because I loved those people so much. We had so many experiences together that drew us together. They were really hard. Plus, on top of that, we were all raising our little kids. So that's back when my children were little, and so we were really close. So to know that we were supposed to move and we didn't have to move because of a job, we just knew we were supposed to leave. So we moved. And after we got settled into our new place, after a few months, I crashed. I look back on my life and now and I realized that I had had signs of depression probably since the time I was in high school, and I just had never addressed them before. And so at this time, there was no denying that I had depression, okay? But I tried to ignore it. I tried to just work through where I could. I did the minimum of what I had to to take care of my family, so I kind of hit it, and that actually ended up making it worse.

Yeah.

So one day, during a really low time, my husband had called me at work while he was at work, and about a half hour later, he showed up because he could tell that I was in a really bad place. And that's what helped get me back, helped me start on the road to getting back into good emotional health. And it takes a long time, longer than I ever knew. You don't just get on a medication and you're better. You have to try a bunch of them, and you have to try them for a long period of time, and you have to test them, and they give you other side effects and blah, blah, blah. And I would say it took me around two years to get to where I felt stable again.

Okay?

And so after I got stable again, I started feeling those desires of wanting to do all the things I'd always wanted to do. You kind of lose that when you have depression. You lose those feelings. You lose emotional connections with stuff. Before we moved where I am now, my husband and I had had a business, and because of the recession that happened way back, the last big recession, we ended up closing that business, but I still had the desire to build something else. And so I wanted to do that, but I didn't have the tools, and my emotional health still wasn't where I needed it to be. So during that time, I started learning. I didn't have a lot of physical energy, and so I started reading a lot, and then I started learning a lot, and I would practice some of the things that I learned, and some things worked and some things didn't. And long story short, I guess, is I took pieces of me, pieces of what I learned, and combined it all into this method that I used every day to get me in a good place of mental health, where I could show up for my family, show up who I am. Like, I wasn't somebody different. I didn't create somebody different. I just showed up who I've always been. But I started making it better and just building on that. When I got to that place, that's when I started building hunky dory. That's when my daughter came in and told me about named what I was making. And three years into that, I started feeling moved to create something more. I felt like I needed to start sharing this method I'd created for myself, which, of course, brings up a lot of doubt, like, well, maybe it doesn't work for other people, but I started talking to just my friends and people that I met and sharing with them the method that I used every day. Not calling it a certain method, but I saw that it helped other people, too. And so I put all that together. So I created, and it had nothing to do with sewing or art or anything. I created a method that brought me out of it didn't bring me out of my depression. I don't teach how to get out of depression. I teach how to use the method that helped me to get myself back on my feet, to build strength, and to connect to myself who I've always been, and to use that connection to connect to other people. And so that is what saved my life. I've found, as I've coached lots of women, now, using the unique connection method, that it helps in so many different transitions that we go through through life and disruptions. I call my depression period, like, a disruption. It just disrupted my life and kind of shook everything up. And now I'm back on the path that I always wanted to be. And I'm grateful. I mean, I don't ever want to go through that again, but I'm grateful for the things that I learned, the things, the systems that came to me that made me be able to show up for myself, to love myself, and to be able to help myself through those hard times. And now I feel that they saved my life, and they saved the life of me and my connections with my family. So there's my long story about how that came about.

Oh, and so many like, I'm like, oh, my gosh, what about this? And what about this? And one of the kind of overarching things that I keep thinking as you told your journey there is when you started, you didn't jump in and just create the unique connection method. You had to put 1ft in front of the other. And it sounds like you went to something that you knew, the sewing part and the traveler's notebook, and started creating that, and that led to this, and that led to this, and that led to this. And so I love seeing that journey and your perseverance through it of having to keep working, keep creating, and not just the consuming aspect. Right?

Yeah.

Creating along the way. And so with this creation of a tangible product and then also this method that also created personal growth for you, so how did that personal growth affect how you showed up for your family and your kids, your spouse, your different relationships in life?

Well, it changed everything. It changed everything because before I was fun and it was nice to be around, but I did not think highly of myself at all. I had very low self esteem. I had no self confidence. But people didn't pick up on that. And so through that whole growth period and I am still growing, and I'm still adding to this method of things that work and things that don't. I'm always adding to that. And the more I grow, the more I connect with people on different levels. And that's true with my kids. I don't want to say hate. I really dislike it when people say I'm not creative. I don't mean that when they say they're not creative.

Amen.

It's like a soapbox that I could jump on because I'm like, why do we think that only if you do music or art or if you're a writer that you're creative? Creativity is in so many different forms. And yes, I created a Traveler's Notebook, and it makes it so that I can plan my life out better. But I also through all of that, I created connections with my children. I was able to help them through a lot of things that they've gone through as they've left the house. That if I hadn't have gone through the things that I did, I would not have had the skills I needed to be there for them. I would never give away all their things that they've been through. But let's just say that as I've been able to understand them better at a different level than I never felt understood, I felt like my parents never had anything that was hard or anything that they had to deal with. They weren't people that expressed how they felt a lot. I've always been a person that shows lots of emotion. And so maybe that's another reason I had depression, is because I stuffed my emotions a little bit because I didn't have a safe place to share them. But I am so grateful for what I've gone through so that I can be an advocate for my kids and they can see that hard things happen to all of us. We can stuff them away and pretend that they're not there or we can admit that we've gone through them and that we're stronger because of it. And because of that, my kids will come to me with problems, with good things, they share their life with me than a way that I don't think that they would have if I couldn't connect with them and help them through the struggles that they have. I think they probably hide the struggles from me because they want to keep me safe.

Okay, you can continue on.

No, that's all I was going to say. And I can also say that as I have grown stronger in who I am and know what I want, I'm not overbearing, but I am more secure in who I am. And because of that, I've seen the connection I have with my husband deepen as well, because we connect with each other better and we support and love each other in our way that we do. Instead of expecting the other person to show up how we want us to be, I show up as who I am. And that adds to who he is. And I allow him to show up as he is. And I let that help me. Not all the time and not always on the first try.

Yes, amen.

Yeah. It's added to every aspect of my life, my friendships as well. I could tell you the same story about friendships. I'm so grateful and I never want to do it again.

Well, I mean, that kind of was leading to my next question was how does your family we could insert friendships, relationships benefit when you show up as the healthiest version of yourself. Right. And I think that's kind of what you're leading to. And it's not that we have to be healthy and strong every single day of the week, but as we gain our own health and improve our own health physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, how does that affect your relationships in your life?

Yeah, well, when I'm in a good place, I show up as a fun, positive, energetic person and I'm full of advice that I'm ready to share or when they ask. But when I'm in not a good place, I'm honest about that too. I show up truthfully how I am. And instead of when they were young and I would hide in my room when I was feeling so low, if they call now, they'll be like, how are you doing, mom? And if I'm in a bad place, I say, I am not doing well today. I'm in a yucky place. And because I show up like that, when they feel like that, they see it as a human trait instead of something that's wrong.

Oh, I love it.

I am so grateful for that. I want it to come across as we're all human. We have ups and downs. And so if I try to hide it like I did when they were little, I don't hide it anymore. And now they will show up to me with their humanness of I'm having a bad day, I didn't sleep well last night because such and such happened. Or they send pictures of something that was really exciting that happened to them because they're not afraid to. Like, if I'm in a bad place, they're not afraid to share their happiness too, because it's all part of the human experience. So I think that they see me now as a person that they can rely on no matter how they're feeling, and they feel comfortable to just show up as they are and that they want to share their life with me.

Amen right. We talk about how life is 50 50. It's beautiful and amazing and wonderful, but it's also hard and difficult and ugly and frustrating. And that is the human experience. And if we were to hide the not so awesome parts about it, that takes away from the human experience and we don't get to experience all of it. So I love that you are an example to your children at this point of how to experience all of it, because if we only show them the good, what happens when they go through something that's hard and difficult and we introduce kind of shame?

Yeah, they think they're wrong. They think that something's wrong with them. Yes.

Okay, so in your story, you've mentioned this unique connection method. To me, that is a unique gift that you have developed out of your life experiences, the good, the bad, and you've had to create that, and you bring that to your community. So why don't we first talk about what is this method that you've created? Go ahead and just dig into that and teach us.

Okay, well, I'll try to give a very condensed version of it because there's a lot it's a lot of good stuff that I use all the time. It doesn't take a lot of time, but there's a lot behind it. But I do feel like one of my unique gifts is that I've always felt a connection with people. I don't know if you call it a gift, but I've always been able to find something in common with pretty much anybody.

Let's call it a gift. I think that's an amazing gift.

Let's call it a gift. I'm really grateful for it. I mean, that doesn't mean I love every aspect about every person, but I am able to find something that I can connect with pretty much anybody that I meet if I spend enough time with them. So I'm really grateful for that because we're not all the same, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. What a messed up world we'd be if everybody was like me, be terrible. We just have to have every person. So from all the stuff that I've told you, I just feel really drawn to teach connection. So my method includes a lot of it starts off with a morning routine and an evening routine where you start your day off with purpose and you connect with the things that are most important. I start my day off with this morning routine, and I've grown it to where I let it take 3 hours. And I'm in that phase of my life where I can. And I used to get up really early before my kids left for school to do it, and it wasn't as long back then. So it's all relative in our seasons of life, but that includes my exercise and all that. But my method doesn't specifically include exercise because that's a very personal thing. But starting your day off with purpose, I think about how I'm feeling that day and what is it something that I need? How am I going to show up for myself today? That's my first thing. Then I make time for a spiritual connection. I connect with something higher than myself, and I spend time doing things that connect me with that higher spirit that I feel is very important. And then I choose an affirmation, something that I need to hear every day. And I have a lot of them that I choose from. And we can all come up with our own affirmations, but I do that. Then I also go through and I teach how to look forward. We look forward to the things that are coming up in the day, and we get to decide before we start how we're going to act, how we're going to react, and how we're going to treat ourselves and how we're going to treat other people. Now, does everything always work out how we think it's going to? No. But I've usually found that as long as I look forward and just kind of go over what I'm going to do during that day, it works out. And I, most of the time, go through it with a more positive attitude because I've thought about it before then in the evening. Well, and throughout the day, I'm always looking for things to be grateful for. So I look for the little things that are different than what I wrote yesterday. I look for things that I'm grateful for, and then I look backwards on my day, and I look for things that I would do differently, things that I would do the same, and things that I learned that I never want to forget. And so I do some kind of a memory keeping thing, and all of those things take, like, 15 minutes or less. It is not a long process. I taught it to somebody once, and she's like, it's taking me forever to go through every little thing I'm doing during the day. I'm like, oh, please don't do that.

Let's hone this in a little bit.

Yeah. You're creating too big of a burden for yourself if you're going through everything. We're looking for an overarching feeling that we want for the day. And if there's something specific you want to address, like if you're meeting with someone that you don't usually get along with, what can you do to make it better? More specific like that. And then the main part, so that's just getting your day. Started and ending in positive ways. And then my main things that I teach, which I usually call the Unique Connection Method, is that you connect to your time. I teach you how to define what your priorities are because when we go through a transition or a disruption, we lose sight of what our priorities are because that's what I did. I forgot what was most important because all I could see was my disruption. Right. That's all. I was consumed. If we're taking care of somebody else, we're consumed with that. If we have a disease or some kind, we're consumed with that. It's totally natural. Sometimes we choose to do that, sometimes it gets put upon us, but we lose sight of what our priorities are. So I teach you how to define what your priorities are again and how to create your and then we connect with our life. We use those priorities and define how we're going to spend our time. So we connect with our life by deciding how we're going to use our time. Does that make sense?

Yes.

It's not just once we decide our priorities, we don't let everybody else tell us what we're going to do. We stand firm in the priorities that we chose.

Well, I was going to say time. A lot of people will say, oh, I don't have time for that, I don't have time for that, I don't have time for that. You've got the same amount of time every single day. It's your responsibility to use it.

Exactly. And when you know what your priorities are, sometimes the things you choose to do change and sometimes they're exactly the same as they were before, but they have a different spin to it. And that's what I loved about that, is that some of the things I was doing didn't change once I defined my priorities, but I felt differently about them. That was a huge thing for me. So in that connecting to your life category, when I told you about looking backwards on what you did during the day, our life goes by so fast, like it can spin by and it feels like it's just a big giant blur. But if we document how we are living our lives, writing down the most important things, just one little thing every day, maybe that's part of connecting to your life and it slows down your life. It gives touch points every single day that it wasn't just a blur of a day. This is what I did today. So that's how I teach about connecting to your life, and I'm passionate about both of those. But my last part of the method is my absolute favorite because I would say this is what saved my life, is I connected to myself. I did this through a process that I call free writing, or it's also called journaling. I learned it through a creative book called The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, and she calls them the Morning she. Yeah. This is a great book. If anybody wants to connect to their creativity that you teach the artist's way is fantastic. But the thing that I took the most from that book was these morning pages. And I first started writing them because I was trying to come up with an idea for my business. I wanted to get my creativity back during that period of feeling discouraged and disconnected. Absolutely. And so I started writing those. But what I learned from that is it was more than that to me. I started seeing that as I wrote. I started writing the same things over and over again, like emotional things that were weighing heavy on me, that were making me feel overburdened, which is the title of my podcast called Overburden No More. And by writing it out, and I do it every morning, I take Sunday off, but every other day I spend at least a half an hour writing first thing in the morning and getting whatever's on my mind out on a piece of paper. What I saw and why I call it connecting to myself is that I would start writing about things that made me feel overburdened and made me feel discouraged. And my true self, my one self that is not discouraged, is not beaten down, the one that has always been there showed up on those pages. I would start writing from her. And maybe that sounds weird, but I know it's not weird because I've talked to enough people that this has happened to. I showed up for myself and I found a connection with myself that now I consider myself my best friend. I believe that if I have a problem, I'm going to find a solution to it. And I also wouldn't be so far off if I didn't connect that to God, that I believe that he's there for me. Also, that connection to self is a connection to Him because I'm connected to Him. So that's a deep belief of mine too. But even if you don't believe in God, showing up for yourself in this way changes everything. So I teach about how to journal and what you're looking for as you journal, and the questions to ask yourself so that you can make that connection. So that's what I consider the unique connection method. And it might sound like some big, huge thing, but it's not. It's just a part of my life. It's like the undertow of everything that I do once I learned it. And I love teaching it.

I'm obsessed with it, and rightfully so, because you've touched on such key points. And I love it in the style of coaching that I do, one of the most important things is a thought download. And that almost sounds like what you're describing here as you just put it out on paper. I love that you talk about looking forward and kind of looking back. The affirmations for the day. There are so many beautiful pieces to your method there, and I feel like it came because of a trial or a hard time in your life. You kind of had to sledge through the mud to create it, but you did it, and you've connected with yourself in that process. You've showed up, you've been an example to your kids, and now you're serving the community. So the community that you serve, tell us who that is. Who is your community that you serve with this unique connection method?

I believe it's women going through transitions in life. I've always been a big advocate for talking about seasons of life, that we all go through seasons, and there are more of them than I thought there were. I thought there was, like, young adults. Anyway, there's all these seasons of life, and I think that as we move through the seasons of life, through these transitions, that's my community. I teach those people as those disruptions happen. And this method has shown up for me over and over again as what I use to get through the different transitions of my life. So that's my community. And a lot of them came because of the travelers notebooks that I make, because the way that I teach to use this, you can keep in a traveler's notebook, and it's just a cute place to keep it, but you can do it on a piece of paper, too, so it's not like you have to have it.

But I'm more fun when you have cute fabric and zippers and pouches. And yes, I'm all for it.

Don't even get me started on my obsession with fabrics. Yes. But yeah, that's my community, is women that just feel like they just feel lost. No disrespect to men, but when I tell them about the time of feeling like you can't answer the question, what do I want? Because all you've done is do what everybody else wants you to do for so long. Men look at me like, what are you talking about? And their wife's next to them going, oh, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Raising their hand. Me. Oh, let me answer that. Yes.

Yeah. It's just a different thing that women seem to experience more than men. I haven't met a man that connects with what I'm saying, but I'm not saying that they're not out there. I just haven't found them yet.

We're still searching.

That's right.

Okay, so you mentioned your podcast. Why don't you go ahead and tell us how we can connect with you through your online opportunities, your courses? What do you have? Tell me what you have going on.

Okay, so I do a weekly podcast called Overburden No More. Okay. I teach all kinds of things on there about comparison, how you talk to yourself, all the aspects of my method we talk about. And so I try to give encouragement and just reminders to do that even if you haven't taken my class, that teaches you how to do it. I teach you about that in the podcast. And then I also teach workshops that help women to figure out their priorities, keep their commitments to themselves, creating routines. I have a whole bunch of workshops. You can get those@hunkyjorie.com. Time management is another one of those that I teach. So I just teach little mini workshops, too, that have to do with just smaller aspects of my method. And I also teach the whole unique connection method. I'm kind of in a transition right now in how I'm teaching that. Okay, so I don't have a specific place that you can go to get that right now. But I do individual coaching with women, and I teach that method in how we work through whatever your disruption or transition that you're going through, whatever season of life. So I work with women doing one on one, too, teaching that method.

I love it. Okay.

Okay, so I'm going to have Marla give me all that information. We'll put it in the show notes so people can click and connect that way. So I am just so excited that we were able to connect.
