00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:01.725
Well, hello sunshine.

00:00:01.725 --> 00:00:04.171
Welcome to this episode of Power On Plants.

00:00:04.171 --> 00:00:11.080
Listen, I know you're here because you want to know the enjoyable way to eat more whole plant food so you can get past your health struggles.

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:17.246
Maybe you're dealing with high blood pressure or high cholesterol and you'd absolutely love to know how to reverse it naturally.

00:00:17.246 --> 00:00:22.504
Or maybe you just want to get rid of the extra pounds so you can't seem to lose no matter what you've tried.

00:00:22.504 --> 00:00:28.946
Or perhaps you just want the inflammation that's been causing your aches and pains to just go away.

00:00:28.946 --> 00:00:31.285
I know that story all too well.

00:00:31.285 --> 00:00:38.302
But whatever your health struggles, what you want most is to just feel better, and you want that to happen.

00:00:38.302 --> 00:00:45.244
Like yesterday, you keep thinking about how you've got to get beyond not feeling like doing the things you want to do in life.

00:00:45.244 --> 00:00:49.706
Jared and I get it because we've been there too Do not lose heart.

00:00:49.706 --> 00:00:56.585
We know that feeling better naturally is absolutely possible when you learn this sustainable way to eat plant based.

00:00:56.585 --> 00:00:58.365
We've experienced it ourselves.

00:00:58.365 --> 00:01:11.932
We see it happen for other amazing women and their families every single day, and along the way we've learned that one of the big keys to making plant based living sustainable is gaining ongoing support from those who are on this same journey.

00:01:11.932 --> 00:01:15.489
I know you're probably wondering why community matters so much.

00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:17.887
What are the actual benefits?

00:01:17.887 --> 00:01:20.349
So today we're sharing the seven ways.

00:01:20.349 --> 00:01:25.707
The right group will help you reach your health goals, and to get there faster and easier too.

00:01:25.707 --> 00:01:26.850
Let's do this.

00:01:26.850 --> 00:01:31.129
Hey sister, welcome to the power on plants podcast.

00:01:31.129 --> 00:01:36.471
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:41.861
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:01:41.861 --> 00:01:48.132
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:01:48.132 --> 00:01:55.808
Hi, we're Jared and I need to resell Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:01:55.808 --> 00:02:08.027
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.

00:02:08.027 --> 00:02:15.243
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.

00:02:15.243 --> 00:02:19.030
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods, and it's not hard.

00:02:19.030 --> 00:02:25.883
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy.

00:02:25.883 --> 00:02:32.449
Your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:02:32.449 --> 00:02:37.730
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy, pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:02:37.730 --> 00:02:40.125
Well, hello there, sister.

00:02:40.125 --> 00:02:45.444
I'm so glad that you're joining us today and I really do hope you have a plant based cup of happy in your hand.

00:02:45.444 --> 00:02:51.740
What favorite plant based beverage you absolutely love, like hot chocolate or matcha latte?

00:02:51.740 --> 00:02:59.468
And today, if it's cold where you are, like it is here in Florida D, because let me tell you, it is not warm here today.

00:02:59.468 --> 00:03:05.365
And I say that and it's kind of funny because you're not always talk about how your body temp adjust when you move.

00:03:05.384 --> 00:03:06.366
It has.

00:03:06.707 --> 00:03:07.250
It's crazy.

00:03:07.250 --> 00:03:14.259
I mean I grew up in Chattanooga and 30s, you know, in the fall, winter time, getting down into 30s, it was kind of the norm.

00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:19.673
And here today is 68 and I've got this thick sweater and sweatpants on.

00:03:19.673 --> 00:03:21.669
I'm thinking what is going on around here?

00:03:21.669 --> 00:03:23.479
Something's not right.

00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:24.806
And I used to live in Chattanooga.

00:03:24.806 --> 00:03:28.110
We both lived there for a number of years together and you just adjusted.

00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:31.509
But now 70 is 60 to us.

00:03:31.841 --> 00:03:32.704
When you hit 70.

00:03:33.165 --> 00:03:34.008
It's a little chill in there.

00:03:34.008 --> 00:03:35.044
I think I need a jacket.

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:36.764
It's a little more than chilly to me.

00:03:36.764 --> 00:03:38.947
I actually have my sweater and sweatpants on, no joke.

00:03:38.947 --> 00:03:41.706
So what in the world am I going to be wearing when it actually is winter time?

00:03:41.706 --> 00:03:42.710
I just don't know.

00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:44.243
I'm not real sure about that.

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.526
Let me just put it this way If you come to Florida, you're walking along the beach.

00:03:49.526 --> 00:03:51.008
You see someone in a parka.

00:03:51.008 --> 00:03:51.751
That's us.

00:03:53.342 --> 00:03:54.126
No, it's funny.

00:03:54.126 --> 00:04:00.123
People come down from up north and they've got their little swimsuits on and I'm thinking what in the world?

00:04:00.123 --> 00:04:00.907
This is crazy.

00:04:00.907 --> 00:04:02.625
They're members of the polar bear club.

00:04:02.625 --> 00:04:03.548
What's going on here?

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.044
You can tell who the Canadians are.

00:04:05.044 --> 00:04:15.408
They're the ones in their swimsuits in the middle of February out in the water, and for them that's probably a warm bath, but for me that is thermal shock.

00:04:15.408 --> 00:04:17.026
I would go into cardiac arrest.

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.386
Yeah, Jared cannot stay in cold water.

00:04:18.661 --> 00:04:20.084
I'm not a cold water person.

00:04:20.346 --> 00:04:21.430
Not his thing.

00:04:21.430 --> 00:04:24.028
He will never be a member of the polar bear club.

00:04:24.601 --> 00:04:26.367
I'm a member of the nollar bear club.

00:04:26.761 --> 00:04:26.961
No.

00:04:26.961 --> 00:04:28.867
But what club do you want to be a member of?

00:04:28.867 --> 00:04:34.906
You want to be a part of the plant-based community that's going to help you get where you want to go, farther and faster.

00:04:34.906 --> 00:04:42.548
So today we're sharing with you the seven ways the right group will help you reach your health goals faster and easier too.

00:04:42.548 --> 00:04:47.867
And the first way is you can literally see and feel that you're not alone.

00:04:47.867 --> 00:04:53.240
You know, when you find the right community, you gain a safe, judgment-free zone to learn and grow.

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.574
You find your instant family.

00:04:55.574 --> 00:04:57.161
I love it when this happens.

00:04:57.161 --> 00:05:01.898
It's always such a blessing to spend time with those who get you because they're on the same journey.

00:05:01.898 --> 00:05:08.317
We hear this so much from our Power and Plant Society members On the monthly live group coaching session.

00:05:08.317 --> 00:05:10.122
They're such an excitement.

00:05:10.122 --> 00:05:16.673
We're there together diving into plant-based strategies, learning and growing even more, and we hear it all the time.

00:05:16.673 --> 00:05:21.591
I'm just so happy to be hanging out with my people again my peeps, right.

00:05:21.591 --> 00:05:23.678
I love my pop's family.

00:05:23.678 --> 00:05:25.283
Some actually say they're fam.

00:05:25.283 --> 00:05:27.411
They shorten it my plant-based fam.

00:05:27.411 --> 00:05:28.293
Y'all are my plant-based fam.

00:05:28.293 --> 00:05:31.432
I've been looking forward to hanging out all day long, and that's how it is.

00:05:31.432 --> 00:05:39.879
When you find your people, you gain a connection you won't find anywhere else, and this is crucial.

00:05:40.120 --> 00:06:04.744
And we really can't stress the importance of this enough, because if you ever in your lifetime have ever been in a situation maybe it was in high school, in a club sport or at work or something where you just felt alone, whether you were in a group of people or not, you felt alone because you didn't feel that connection with someone else that felt like they were on the same team, right, pulling you along with them.

00:06:04.744 --> 00:06:06.492
They understood your struggles, mm-hmm.

00:06:06.492 --> 00:06:08.540
Or let's say it worked.

00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:09.625
There's a certain procedure.

00:06:09.625 --> 00:06:10.427
You just didn't know.

00:06:10.427 --> 00:06:11.612
You didn't know who to ask.

00:06:11.612 --> 00:06:13.516
You think I've got to come up with this my own.

00:06:13.516 --> 00:06:14.680
But am I doing it right?

00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.300
I don't know.

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:21.822
And it's just so stress-inducing, nerve-wracking, and it doesn't have to be that way.

00:06:21.822 --> 00:06:24.374
But right Again, the example of being at work.

00:06:24.374 --> 00:06:27.461
But you find that coworker, they've got a smile on their face.

00:06:27.461 --> 00:06:30.517
They say listen, don't worry about it, I know exactly what to do.

00:06:30.517 --> 00:06:36.942
Do this, this and this, and what seemed like it was going to be this insurmountable task becomes just easy breezy.

00:06:36.942 --> 00:06:39.259
It makes all the difference in the world.

00:06:39.401 --> 00:06:40.526
Because you got your family there.

00:06:40.526 --> 00:06:44.478
They're backing you up, you're helping each other along the way, and it makes all the difference.

00:06:44.478 --> 00:06:50.384
Step number two is this is going to help ensure you actually make it out of the bucket.

00:06:50.384 --> 00:06:52.653
By bucket, I mean your health struggle.

00:06:52.653 --> 00:06:56.970
So have you ever seen the videos or heard the story of the crabs in the bucket?

00:06:56.970 --> 00:06:57.812
Have you seen that one?

00:06:57.812 --> 00:07:00.677
Uh, I'm not sure.

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:02.822
Is this a video you're talking about?

00:07:03.370 --> 00:07:04.894
Video or story.

00:07:05.254 --> 00:07:08.776
I'm not sure if I've seen the video you're talking about, but I know what you're alluding to.

00:07:08.935 --> 00:07:10.161
Yeah, you think about it.

00:07:10.161 --> 00:07:22.536
So if you've ever seen that, or maybe you live somewhere where there are blue crabs we see this in our area so when you've got these crabs in a bucket, what happens eventually is one of them starts trying to crawl out.

00:07:22.536 --> 00:07:30.884
They start trying to get out and the other crabs are reaching over and they're grabbing at the crab, pulling it back down into the bucket and keeping it from gaining its freedom.

00:07:30.884 --> 00:07:32.504
Think about that for a minute.

00:07:32.504 --> 00:07:37.312
When one tries to escape, the others are grabbing it, pulling it down into the bucket.

00:07:37.312 --> 00:07:43.880
Sadly, people can be that way too, and I think sometimes that happens because they just don't understand the new path that you're on.

00:07:43.901 --> 00:08:02.024
They don't understand, I would think a lot of times they have good intentions, but if it's something that's foreign to them, or maybe they've heard lessons or information to the contrary, specifically myths and sometimes have even been told lies and don't know that it's a lie.

00:08:02.024 --> 00:08:05.634
But they can be almost like a negative community.

00:08:05.634 --> 00:08:08.826
They wanted to keep you with them in the bucket.

00:08:08.826 --> 00:08:16.411
But you've got this thing, this heart's desire, this burning within this goal that you have and you're trying to reach it.

00:08:16.411 --> 00:08:20.425
But those other crabs are grabbing on to you, holding you back.

00:08:20.725 --> 00:08:28.478
Yeah, sadly, there are some people that just don't like seeing others move ahead, because that would mean that maybe they need to move ahead, maybe they need to change something.

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:29.863
So it's just reality.

00:08:30.125 --> 00:08:30.848
It's reality.

00:08:30.848 --> 00:08:36.528
It just goes along with trying to improve yourself and move ahead, and that goes with this next point.

00:08:36.528 --> 00:08:45.635
Point number three being in community not only enables you to reach your goals, but it also allows you to reach them faster with other people.

00:08:45.635 --> 00:08:53.066
Maybe you've heard the quote that said about how you're most like the sum total of the five people you spend most of your time around.

00:08:53.066 --> 00:08:54.672
I can't remember the exact quote.

00:08:54.672 --> 00:08:55.576
Do you remember what it is?

00:08:55.897 --> 00:08:57.423
No, but that's ballpark.

00:08:57.423 --> 00:08:59.250
I mean, that's a gist of it.

00:08:59.389 --> 00:09:06.851
It's basically you become like the five people you spend the most time around, and it is so very true.

00:09:06.851 --> 00:09:08.057
Think about it for a minute.

00:09:08.057 --> 00:09:11.253
Think about the five people in your life that you hang around with the most.

00:09:11.253 --> 00:09:13.041
Are they going somewhere?

00:09:13.041 --> 00:09:14.206
Are they headed on a path?

00:09:14.206 --> 00:09:15.831
Are they trying to better themselves?

00:09:15.831 --> 00:09:17.254
Are they growing spiritually?

00:09:17.254 --> 00:09:22.014
Are they encouraging you to grow, or are they really happy with where they are?

00:09:22.014 --> 00:09:36.953
Or maybe they're in some habits that they've gotten you into just by association, not even trying to, just because that's who you spend time with, so you do the things they do, because you want to spend time together, and so you get into those same activities together.

00:09:36.953 --> 00:09:49.153
It's really important that you take the steps to surround yourself with those who are moving forward in life, who have goals to live their best life and are actively taking the steps to make that happen.

00:09:49.153 --> 00:10:04.269
So if you're trying to adopt a whole few plant-based lifestyle and those around you most Just want to sit around and complain about their current situation or their health struggles, while they keep eating the foods that are harmful to them, most likely your life's gonna end up looking a lot like they are.

00:10:04.269 --> 00:10:05.852
Sadly, it's just what happens.

00:10:05.852 --> 00:10:08.706
But when the truth of that sinks in.

00:10:08.706 --> 00:10:14.682
It brings you to the point where you're empowered to do something to change the outcome of your life.

00:10:14.682 --> 00:10:24.620
You know the things we talk about not just limiting and Removing the harmful things from your life, but what beneficial things can you get back into their place.

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:27.308
Look, this applies to people too.

00:10:27.308 --> 00:10:30.799
Now, I know that you can't go around removing family members.

00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.768
This isn't what I'm talking about here.

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.453
And it may be hard to remove coworkers unless you have the ability and the power to fire.

00:10:39.025 --> 00:10:53.448
That's a great point, but you can limit the time that you spend copying any distracted behaviors they're living out by increasing the time you spend with those who are like-minded, those who are moving ahead, those who are Finding a way to heal naturally from their health struggles.

00:10:53.448 --> 00:10:54.832
It makes all the difference.

00:10:54.832 --> 00:11:04.134
Find those to surround yourself with who are where you want to go already and others who are headed in that same direction.

00:11:04.134 --> 00:11:09.787
Jared and I found that in every area of life this makes all the difference.

00:11:09.787 --> 00:11:18.019
It can actually decide whether you meet your goals or not, because it's easy to kind of go it alone For a while, but when you find your crew, you know have to go it alone.

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:18.663
You know.

00:11:18.683 --> 00:11:27.524
The thought that comes to mind with that is that our oldest son he's trying to learn guitar and he's very musical and I have no doubt he's going to become a very skilled musician.

00:11:27.524 --> 00:11:53.491
And he's learning stuff on his own right now, going through some online classes and whatnot, but it's still there's no live interaction with someone else that is farther than them, where he is right now, and so we're looking into getting him in with an instructor, a mentor or possibly even a group like this that's designed for guitar, because he's going to learn things from them.

00:11:53.491 --> 00:12:02.948
They're going to be able to offer Suggestions, they may be able to listen to what he's doing and say, hey, I hear what you're trying to do, but here's a way to do better finger placement.

00:12:02.948 --> 00:12:07.106
That makes it easier and it just again, it makes all the difference.

00:12:07.467 --> 00:12:11.840
Yeah, it reminds me of with him how there's this band that Jared and I love.

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.727
They play fusion jazz.

00:12:13.727 --> 00:12:15.434
We absolutely love them.

00:12:15.434 --> 00:12:16.539
Their name is Raymond Street.

00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:19.297
We've gotten to meet them and gotten to know their mom.

00:12:19.297 --> 00:12:21.446
Actually, we have a loved getting to know her.

00:12:21.446 --> 00:12:22.328
She is so sweet.

00:12:22.328 --> 00:12:26.451
But if you're looking for good music, by the way, go check out Roman Street.

00:12:26.471 --> 00:12:30.230
Spotify Apples, roman Street their music is amazing.

00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:40.299
We love listening to them play guitar, but he was able to go and meet them and talk to them and he got so much inspiration Just by being in their presence.

00:12:40.299 --> 00:12:45.152
I mean, these are guys that have walked the path that he took, that started playing when they were younger.

00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:52.340
They have the skills, and what we learned is that they started their path at the same age as our son is right.

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:56.495
And so then he's thinking, okay, they've done this and they started it made.

00:12:56.495 --> 00:12:57.538
Well, then what's he thinking?

00:12:57.538 --> 00:12:59.361
Now I Can do that too.

00:12:59.361 --> 00:13:08.187
It just makes it so much more doable because you have this connection with people who are there already, who have walked the same path that you've walked.

00:13:08.187 --> 00:13:26.530
They know what to do, they can make it easier, and they actually one of them, josh, was just so awesome and he sent Matthew an email Telling him hey, here's some instructors you might really love to get connected with online and here's some things I would recommend, and it just helps so much to be able to have somebody who can do that for you.

00:13:26.921 --> 00:13:29.750
It just really makes all the pales you forward so much faster.

00:13:29.750 --> 00:13:37.208
It's amazing because it gives you those connections that you either would not have found at all or it may have taken much, much longer to Find those right.

00:13:37.288 --> 00:13:41.613
And that leads us into step four Giving and receiving encouragement.

00:13:41.613 --> 00:13:43.240
This is one of the huge benefits.

00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.577
You know he was really encouraged with that meeting and this is the same thing we see inside our membership.

00:13:48.577 --> 00:13:50.323
Some days you might face challenges.

00:13:50.323 --> 00:13:52.210
Some days others will face challenges.

00:13:52.210 --> 00:13:54.386
Being there for one another.

00:13:54.386 --> 00:13:56.405
Well, that's kingdom.

00:13:56.405 --> 00:14:00.080
Living as believers, we're instructed to build one another up.

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.008
This is love in action.

00:14:02.008 --> 00:14:04.365
Have you ever had a really hard day?

00:14:04.365 --> 00:14:08.397
Think about it for a minute and someone comes along and they share that.

00:14:08.397 --> 00:14:16.894
They understand what you're going through because of what they've experienced in their own life, and then they remind you that it's all gonna be okay.

00:14:16.894 --> 00:14:20.222
Receiving that is Absolutely wonderful.

00:14:20.222 --> 00:14:28.080
It can be life-changing, but being the person that offers that to another, that is such a beautiful way to serve one another in love.

00:14:28.441 --> 00:14:33.740
But what's comforting about that is they tell you it's going to be okay because they've walked that path right.

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:38.080
They know you're gonna be okay because they've done it and they've been okay.

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:43.052
They're not just saying just a pat on the back with encouragement oh it's gonna be good, Everything's gonna work out.

00:14:43.052 --> 00:14:50.649
And while there's value in that, there's more value if you realize they've done it right they know it's gonna be okay.

00:14:51.636 --> 00:14:54.740
Right, and in this case it's gonna be delicious.

00:14:55.495 --> 00:14:58.307
I'm just saying it's okay and taste great.

00:14:58.347 --> 00:15:00.818
Yeah, cuz that's the foodie in me, it's got to be easy.

00:15:00.818 --> 00:15:04.371
But what's gonna make it okay is that food got to taste mouthwatering good.

00:15:04.371 --> 00:15:05.034
That's all I know.

00:15:05.034 --> 00:15:07.299
I've got to know how to do that in a way that works for me.

00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:08.322
And it's got to taste good.

00:15:08.322 --> 00:15:14.647
And the fifth way that being in community Helps so much is you're able to gain and share new ideas.

00:15:14.647 --> 00:15:24.760
We've talked about this a little bit already, but it's so important for you to view your plant-based group as your mastermind, not just a membership.

00:15:24.760 --> 00:15:27.431
This may be the most important thing I share with you today.

00:15:27.431 --> 00:15:32.168
In a membership, you're gonna go in there with the goal of amassing knowledge.

00:15:32.168 --> 00:15:39.581
I'm gonna go in, I'm gonna get knowledge, I'm gonna get this, get that, learn this, learn that, and you're just learning, learning, learning, learning, and so you're stacking up all this knowledge of facts.

00:15:39.581 --> 00:15:45.385
Sure, you need the right info, but what else really makes the right group a special place for learning?

00:15:45.385 --> 00:15:50.794
This is what makes all the difference is that you're able to bounce ideas off each other.

00:15:50.794 --> 00:15:54.323
You're able to ask for suggestions and give suggestions.

00:15:54.323 --> 00:15:59.846
As for recipe suggestions, think about that a minute and share the recipes that you found in love, too.

00:15:59.846 --> 00:16:05.506
Things like helping each other, build your very own Go-to favorites list that you're going to love.

00:16:05.506 --> 00:16:07.534
If you've been around here long, you've heard us talk about that.

00:16:07.534 --> 00:16:09.783
We talk about it in the membership all the time too.

00:16:09.783 --> 00:16:16.249
These are the things that make all the difference and where you can go and what you can attain on your plant-based journey.

00:16:16.755 --> 00:16:31.133
So decide today I'm gonna be an active part of my plant-based community participation is so important because you are you, and what I mean by that is you are the only person that is you.

00:16:31.133 --> 00:16:31.875
You are unique.

00:16:31.875 --> 00:16:33.163
You have your own ideas.

00:16:33.163 --> 00:16:35.014
You may be new in the beginning.

00:16:35.014 --> 00:16:35.655
That's okay.

00:16:35.655 --> 00:16:46.495
As you start to try things, as you get suggestions, you may come up with a spark of an idea and think, wow, this flavor combination, for example, would be interesting, and you try it and you think that's really good.

00:16:46.495 --> 00:16:53.217
And then you share that with others and then you likely will hear people say, wow, that's amazing, never would have thought that.

00:16:53.217 --> 00:17:00.554
Then you get excited and you start moving forward and get encouraged to Get more ideas and share those ideas.

00:17:00.554 --> 00:17:03.683
So again, you are uniquely you.

00:17:03.683 --> 00:17:09.855
You have your own unique thumbprint, you have your own unique ideas and that's lost if you don't share it.

00:17:10.036 --> 00:17:17.688
But one of the things I think that holds us back is we get in the community and then we think, oh, but I've got to be perfect before I share.

00:17:17.688 --> 00:17:19.115
I can't possibly know anything.

00:17:19.115 --> 00:17:21.744
This is only my second day if doing plant-based.

00:17:21.744 --> 00:17:34.627
But if you share as you go, it really can make all the difference to someone else, even someone who's farther down the path than you, because you're starting and you have all this excitement and new ideas and things that you're sharing.

00:17:34.627 --> 00:17:37.824
It's just gonna get them excited again and help them learn.

00:17:37.824 --> 00:17:40.617
But the problem is Especially the type A of S.

00:17:40.617 --> 00:17:48.321
If any of you are out there, type A, you get what I'm talking about, like you want to wait till Everything's perfect and you got it perfectly figured out.

00:17:48.321 --> 00:18:00.761
Or maybe you know you tried this great meal and you've absolutely enjoyed it, but you've got to get the perfect photo of that meal with all the plants set up behind it and you got to have the lighting just right before you snap it.

00:18:00.761 --> 00:18:03.657
No, no, listen, stop it, let that go.

00:18:03.657 --> 00:18:06.328
Take the two seconds to snap it and share it.

00:18:06.328 --> 00:18:10.815
I don't care if it looks messy, I don't care if you already took a bite of that meal.

00:18:10.815 --> 00:18:17.782
Listen, there is somebody out there that needs that recipe, that needs to know what you've thrown together that didn't even require a recipe.

00:18:17.782 --> 00:18:19.961
Share these things with each other.

00:18:19.961 --> 00:18:23.394
Get in there, learn and give and grow together.

00:18:23.394 --> 00:18:31.862
I just love it when our pops members do this, because the truth is, no one cares if the photo of that meal you just enjoyed is perfect.

00:18:31.862 --> 00:18:37.887
They just want to see you share what you've tried and enjoyed, because it might just be exactly what they're looking for to.

00:18:37.887 --> 00:18:43.407
I cannot stress this enough what a huge key to success in plant-based living this is.

00:18:43.407 --> 00:18:47.413
Don't just think about what you can gain from the community.

00:18:47.413 --> 00:18:57.624
Ask what can I give to help others, because it's in the giving that even more blessings than you can even contain Are going to come your way.

00:18:57.624 --> 00:19:07.434
There's nothing more rewarding than helping each other as we travel through this life together, and it's through that sharing that you're going to be blessed and grow the most.

00:19:07.434 --> 00:19:09.641
I just love it when this happens.

00:19:09.641 --> 00:19:11.026
It just never gets old.

00:19:11.026 --> 00:19:21.718
Point number six by being in like-minded Community, you're more likely to take action and much more easily Remember what you've learned.

00:19:21.718 --> 00:19:30.121
Picture yourself asking questions, taking action, practicing what you've learned, sharing your wins and gaining encouragement.

00:19:30.121 --> 00:19:35.997
Doing these things reinforces what you've learned so you can Remember it better.

00:19:35.997 --> 00:19:46.595
But let's just say it's a rare occasion that you happen to forget what it was exactly that your friend Robin Said inside the group about how she made that gluten-free bread that she absolutely loves.

00:19:46.595 --> 00:19:49.974
You know she shared it a few months back and you want to try your hand at it.

00:19:49.974 --> 00:19:59.700
Well, if you're inside power and plant society, you're gonna go to the search bar where you can easily search the entire community Feed and the video platform.

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:03.808
Things aren't gonna disappear down a typical online feed.

00:20:03.808 --> 00:20:11.576
Do you think being able to search like that will help you to take action on the new techniques and skills you're learning so that you can Remember them better?

00:20:11.576 --> 00:20:20.922
Absolutely it will, because you're going to quickly and easily find exactly what you're looking for instead of getting Frustrated and wasting your time.

00:20:20.922 --> 00:20:30.875
And if you don't see a past post about what you're seeking, you can ask and get the answers you need right there from each other, from us, and keep moving forward.

00:20:30.875 --> 00:20:43.700
Community helps you avoid the frustration and the overwhelm of not knowing what to do, so that you're able to start taking action right away and getting the results you're after and remembering what you've learned.

00:20:44.280 --> 00:20:48.011
And one of the sad things about when you get frustrated is you tend to get stalled.

00:20:48.011 --> 00:20:54.500
You stop any momentum, any forward movement, and then it's so much harder to get that momentum back.

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:57.730
So absolutely in there, ask your question.

00:20:57.730 --> 00:21:02.652
Likely someone's gonna give you an answer pretty quickly, and then you just keep rocking and rolling.

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.666
You know, ball, it's how you grow.

00:21:04.666 --> 00:21:08.299
You start rolling, you gain momentum and you're growing, and you're growing and you're growing.

00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:18.506
You want to grow your knowledge as you gain, like with the snowball, gain more mass to it, more forward momentum, and you carry more snowflakes with you.

00:21:18.506 --> 00:21:19.709
You grab more snowflakes.

00:21:19.709 --> 00:21:27.426
You start Snowflakes are pretty, they're all pretty and they're all unique.

00:21:27.426 --> 00:21:35.535
What I'm saying is that you start to maybe pull others along with you in your momentum and they gain momentum along with you right.

00:21:35.535 --> 00:21:37.404
And then it's a movement.

00:21:38.280 --> 00:21:39.445
That's what it's all about.

00:21:39.445 --> 00:21:40.450
That's what it's all about.

00:21:40.450 --> 00:21:42.779
We're all going and we're going together.

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:47.519
We're not just gonna sit on the couch eating our chips and watching movies all day long.

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.383
We got stuff to do.

00:21:48.383 --> 00:21:50.409
Listen, you have a calling on your life.

00:21:50.409 --> 00:21:54.450
You have an amazing Mission that you've been placed here to fulfill.

00:21:54.450 --> 00:21:55.674
You may not feel like it.

00:21:55.674 --> 00:21:57.765
You may be thinking, anita, I'm not that special.

00:21:57.765 --> 00:21:58.528
Yes, you are.

00:21:58.528 --> 00:22:05.291
Yes, you are because you're a child of the king and he has got people for you to meet, places for you to go, and right there inside your own home.

00:22:05.291 --> 00:22:09.220
You've got to feel good enough to even be able to be there for your family.

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:10.442
I get that.

00:22:10.442 --> 00:22:11.365
I've been there.

00:22:11.365 --> 00:22:21.092
And you can go so much farther, so much faster when you go there with those who care about you, who are your family, who you can walk this journey with side by side.

00:22:21.092 --> 00:22:28.991
And step number seven is you're going to gain real connection with real people who genuinely care.

00:22:28.991 --> 00:22:31.907
Listen, sister, I'm so over social media.

00:22:31.907 --> 00:22:33.332
Are you clapping right now?

00:22:33.332 --> 00:22:34.075
Are you shouting?

00:22:34.075 --> 00:22:35.599
Are you lifting trans to the sky?

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:37.105
Are you saying amen?

00:22:37.105 --> 00:22:38.750
Because I'm so over it.

00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:40.515
I do not like being on it.

00:22:40.515 --> 00:22:44.646
Jerry can tell you it's true, I avoid it as much as humanly possible.

00:22:45.167 --> 00:22:46.913
I've deleted Facebook off my phone.

00:22:47.342 --> 00:22:52.019
We do not host our community membership there, and there's a reason for that.

00:22:52.019 --> 00:22:56.680
It's distracting and there's lack of real relationship.

00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:03.625
But the main reason is that Jared and I value real, authentic connection.

00:23:03.625 --> 00:23:06.396
Sadly, that's something that's really missing today.

00:23:06.396 --> 00:23:07.119
You know what I mean.

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:12.973
I want authenticity, and I'm sure you do too, because real is so rare today.

00:23:12.973 --> 00:23:31.874
So when we find the place where we can talk freely with one another, learn and grow and really do life together in a safe space, getting to know each other on an authentic level, it's so encouraging and it's just so refreshing and that changes everything.

00:23:31.874 --> 00:23:36.182
So today we have shared with you Seven ways.

00:23:36.182 --> 00:23:40.819
The right group will help you reach your health goals faster and easier to Do.

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:45.734
Step number one is you can literally see and feel that you are not alone.

00:23:45.734 --> 00:23:50.167
Inside the right community, you gain a safe, judgment-free zone to learn and grow.

00:23:50.167 --> 00:23:52.941
You find your instant family Benefit.

00:23:52.941 --> 00:23:59.854
Number two is it will help to ensure that you actually make it out of the bucket, that being your health struggles.

00:23:59.854 --> 00:24:09.131
The third benefit of being in community is that it not only enables you to reach your health goals, but you'll reach them faster and you'll go farther in the process.

00:24:09.131 --> 00:24:14.183
The fourth benefit is you will give and receive Much-needed encouragement.

00:24:14.183 --> 00:24:20.240
Some days you're gonna face challenges, some days others will, so you'll be able to be there for each other.

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:24.220
And Benefit five is you'll gain and share new ideas.

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:29.460
It's so important that you don't see this group is just a membership, but a mastermind.
