2:21
so without further ado I'm gonna bring
2:24
in my pal Tara Shannon hello there how
2:27
are you today hello there I am very
2:30
happy to be here and I'm just so
2:32
impressed with you you're so good at
2:34
natural on camera I'm just like excited
2:37
I'm watching you man you're good you
2:40
know what our that is such a compliment
2:42
coming from you because you have lived
2:44
on camera and gee really thank you I
2:47
will have to talk about that later
2:49
because um you know I try and I really
2:53
love what I do and maybe that's how it
2:55
comes across maybe because I really love
2:57
what I do so we like to start the show
2:58
by asking our visitors and our special
3:01
guests what is your little white lie so
3:04
take it away what is your little white
3:06
lie Cara well my little white lie about
3:09
aging is that it it would not be as fun
3:15
and wonderful as my youth and it's
3:17
actually better oh my gosh that's great
3:20
that you guys okay so the you guys are
3:23
listening right now what do you think
3:25
about that did you think that as we got
3:28
older we were not going to have as much
3:29
fun it wasn't maybe as great and like
3:31
Tara she discovered it's even better
3:33
tell us tell us in the comments and we
3:36
will put them up we've got Susan Jacobs
3:39
who just said impressive very very nice
3:42
so let's jump right into the question
3:44
right now how can valuing your
3:45
authenticity actually enhance every
3:48
aspect of your life what would you say
3:50
about that well I would say that it is
3:53
one of the gifts of being older that we
3:55
understand that there's more to value
3:57
than just what people think of us and
3:59
one of the platforms that I work with
4:01
with a lot of the younger women that I
4:03
coach is that self-hatred is a case of
4:05
mistaken identity and then we inherit
4:10
these beliefs that aren't even ours
4:12
yeah and that they're so externalized
4:15
and and that's what's so interesting
4:16
about being older that the more we value
4:19
what our likes are our wants are what
4:21
our needs are then the more peace filled
4:27
that we are because we're not in
4:28
reaction to other people's truth being
4:31
an attack on us right right that's so
4:34
true I'm gonna put some comments up
4:35
because I think what you said really
4:37
struck a chord in terms of what we
4:39
thought growing up and what we actually
4:41
experienced as we get older Susan says
4:44
to be honest that thought never occurred
4:45
to me but I have to say now I'm fearless
4:48
in more ways than ever before go Susan
4:51
and Nancy says I feel more comfortable
4:53
in my skin
4:54
as I get older I so agree so let's talk
4:58
about how the actual action of valuing
5:02
our authenticity how can we actually do
5:05
that what would you suggest well I think
5:07
one thing is like Susan was saying I
5:10
mean I love that it's such a literal
5:11
metaphor I'm feeling more comfortable in
5:13
my skin
5:15
that literally where we are having a
5:19
deeper awareness of what our interior
5:22
world is that you know when I worked a
5:25
lot of traumatized people the one of the
5:29
fastest way out of shame is knowing that
5:31
you know your soul is untouched by the
5:34
human experience and it's filled to the
5:37
brim with enough yeah all right so
5:40
absolutely yeah learning how to focus
5:43
within in ways that delight you you know
5:46
if it's reading if it's just you know
5:49
what just girls getting in touch with
5:50
what makes them happy not serving people
5:53
but really moving in and finding and
5:56
having you know what the first thing is
5:57
permission having permission Oh blame oh
6:03
my gosh I love that you know I I want to
6:06
ask you a question when we were talking
6:08
last week and talking about the show and
6:10
I want to let everyone know you you were
6:13
actually you're an amazing coach and you
6:15
work with a lot of women but you have
6:17
also reentered the modeling environment
6:19
yeah and we were talking about this last
6:22
week and we were talking as it related
6:24
to my hair and you made a comment that I
6:26
thought was so interesting but I think
6:30
it goes to this movement this whole
6:31
little white line movement you said well
6:34
why don't you just say it about the
6:36
models that they're hiring yeah the the
6:38
women that work the most are still
6:40
four haired models my girlfriend get in
6:42
who I met modeling here in LA she's
6:44
silver-haired she just finished a
6:46
Italian Vogue she's in everything
6:49
it's a beautiful silver hair I envy your
6:53
silver hair I'm not I'm not all white
6:56
yet that's one of the issues when I went
6:57
to see a doctor nning silver oh yeah
7:00
you're not silver enough to go silver
7:01
not silver but how amazing is this Susan
7:05
says oh my god I love you tar a
7:07
permission to let yourself meet and get
7:09
to know you the person you are now
7:11
and Kat says love me some permission I
7:14
mean what you're talking about is so
7:17
important whether we're young or old and
7:19
you know the little white light movement
7:20
is not just for women our age and we are
7:23
about the same age it's not just about
7:24
women our age it's whatever age you're
7:26
in giving ourselves permission to love
7:29
the age that we're in so you know we're
7:33
listening to a lot of we're seeing the
7:35
comments that are coming in what would
7:37
be my first step if I were coming to you
7:39
as a client and you're gonna coach me
7:41
and I'm I'm I'm just struggling here I
7:45
I'm just really struggling how do you
7:47
start out with a client what would you
7:48
suggest to someone who is just starting
7:50
out trying to figure out how to give
7:52
themselves permission to love what
7:54
they're doing
7:54
right well usually one of the the first
7:57
things you have to do is create the
7:59
awareness of an internal consciousness
8:02
that's a big thing so we start
8:04
externally and then it gets really funny
8:06
and that's where first you have
8:08
permission then you have play so the
8:10
first thing you do is you go outward and
8:12
you go ahead and you judge and you
8:14
control and you see how everybody should
8:17
do all these things and you write a list
8:19
and then we go through it turning it
8:21
around so you think they should do what
8:24
turn it around and then how can you do
8:27
it and then it gets oh my gosh it gets
8:30
hilarious cuz you start laughing and
8:31
when you see that you know how much
8:33
everybody else should be doing all these
8:35
things and then turning around into your
8:37
own and that you know that helps take
8:38
the shame off right no I know that's
8:41
that's really that's really important
8:43
what you're saying and that's putting
8:44
ourselves in the position of being on
8:47
the other side and how does that reframe
8:49
what our mindset is
8:51
permission is everything open big doors
8:54
look at this I mean people are just
8:55
coming with some amazing comments I'm
8:57
just putting some of these up Lynn said
9:00
I love having permission changes
9:02
everything so you really are an advocate
9:05
of giving ourselves permission basically
9:08
to do anything and everything we want of
9:10
course as long as it doesn't hurt
9:11
anybody and it's for it for the good
9:13
right yeah and one of the first things
9:16
as you know is permission to hate
9:17
yourself cuz everyone does it yeah there
9:19
I hate myself for hating myself it's
9:22
like good bye you've got to meet it with
9:25
permission and play like yep and we call
9:27
it ten two and four like remember dr.
9:29
pepper ten - oh yeah right at 10 o'clock
9:32
I hate myself at 2 o'clock I'm in love
9:34
with everyone in my you know at 4
9:36
o'clock
9:37
you're gonna drive me crazy at 6 o'clock
9:39
oh my goodness I'm just so at peace and
9:42
it just does that so you have permission
9:43
to like I'm in I'm out I'm in I'm out
9:46
I'm in so our viewers as you're watching
9:49
this whether on live or replay what are
9:51
you giving yourself permission to do and
9:54
to feel and to be that maybe you never
9:56
actually thought about until you just
9:58
heard Torres say you need to give
9:59
yourself permission go ahead and put it
10:01
in the comments because later on we're
10:03
gonna go back into our and I were going
10:04
to respond and we're going to have that
10:06
communication continue and continue Kat
10:09

10:11

10:16

10:18

10:19

ourselves we are welcomed to ourselves
11:38
we are loved and we are absolutely taken
11:42
care of to have that that's the valuing
11:45
that's the authenticity totally totally
11:48
agree Mary Jo says permission frees us
11:50
from comparing ourselves to others
11:53
absolutely Susan says I see so many
11:56
women Karen in their early 50s I
11:58
probably read these before I put them up
11:59

so not our age at all my clients who do
12:04
not know who they are anymore are lost
12:06
too busy being busy so it's fabulous to
12:09
hear Tara say the p-word which is what I
12:13
