1:26
Adair how are you doing hello Karen how
1:31
are you I'm doing very very well
1:33
it is quite early in the morning here
1:36
and I'm actually in Brisbane at the
1:38
moment not in a delay Oh
1:42
normally I am normally in Adelaide and
1:45
today I'm coming to you from Brisbane be
1:49
your traveler your traveler I love this
1:52
obviously for Bieber and I can go where
1:54
I want get it can yes you can't and I'm
1:58
so glad you said that because that leads
1:59
us into the very first question you know
2:02
and that's how do you describe a super
2:03
boomer now I describe a super bloomer
2:06
not by their age I just I describe a
2:09
super boomers how they show up in life
2:14
dare take it away how do you show how do
2:16
you describe a super boomer well for me
2:19
a super boomer is somebody who isn't us
2:22
afraid to throw caution to the wind and
2:25
go on the adventure of their lives no
2:28
matter what age they are like you were
2:30
saying it's not an age it's about your
2:32
attitudes and the way you approach life
2:35
because there is so much to experience
2:37
and so much to do and well around me I
2:40
see so many cautious people who are too
2:43
scared to really step out and do things
2:46
that are just new and different and
2:49
exciting and it's really sad but anyway
2:53
I've chosen not to you know I know that
2:56
and love if it is say I don't know I
3:00
don't know where it comes from actually
3:02
I don't know why I think the media tells
3:05
us one thing maybe our friends and
3:08
family well-meaning as they are
3:10
sometimes they tell us something else
3:11
right and even our kids oh my gosh our
3:15
kids I know my kids oh yeah I think they
3:18
think that I'm so old that maybe I'm not
3:21
even here anymore but you know I think
3:23
that we're guided by what other people
3:25
say and at the end of the day it's what
3:27
we think isn't it it's absolutely what
3:30
we think and what the what's what's in
3:32
our own hearts and where we can you know
3:34
because they'll know I can live your
3:36
life for you and I was just reflecting
3:38
on when I had a corporate job in state
3:43
government's Department and I hang on to
3:46
that for grim death because it was my
3:49
security it was a very well-paying job
3:54
and a female in corporate this is going
3:57
back I started last century
4:05
doesn't that sound weird oh but when I
4:10
when I started and I thought that was it
4:12
that was going to be I was going to live
4:13
out my days and I was going to you know
4:15
in that job and I was going to get get
4:19
my retirement and do all that you know
4:22
after my wife left there probably about
4:24
six seven years ago and
4:27
life is just now full of excitement and
4:30
adventure and there's lots of things
4:32
happening so I know surviving not just
4:35
surviving I'm thriving you're thriving
4:37
and I think that's the I mean I I get
4:39
exhausted watching everything that
4:41
you're doing out there you have multiple
4:43
groups in multiple communities you
4:45
really do not just talk the talk you
4:46
walk the walk and in fact your tagline
4:49
is and I just absolutely love this
4:52
helping people help people tell us a
4:56
little bit about that what does that
4:57
mean well that came up when I started
5:01
when I actually left government I was
5:05
going to die didn't know what I was
5:06
going to do and I was I was actually in
5:10
a pretty bad space and I ended up just
5:14
took 12 months off to lick my wounds and
5:17
nurture myself and rediscover myself and
5:20
it was always about helping people
5:23
excuse me and I've got my morning voice
5:26
on carry says hello you got your morning
5:30
voice guys if you're wondering
5:32
white-white adara saying that for those
5:34
of us who are in the States whether it's
5:36
Eastern Time with Pacific time it's
5:38
Wednesday around 2:30 or 5:30 depending
5:41
on where you are what time is it where
5:44
Adele right it's just gone 7 is just
5:47
after 7:30 a.m. on Thursday morning so
5:51
we're just subtly well in the future I
5:54
love that Georgie says that what you
5:56
were talking about it's so very true you
5:58
know about helping two people so let's
6:00
continue I'm sorry to interrupt you but
6:02
I I just I realize we're watching people
6:04
here and they don't know why you are
6:06
saying it's so early I kept that spot
6:09
and I can't see the comments otherwise I
6:11
would say hello to everybody
6:13
Georgie Georgie was on you know at
6:15
Georgie because Georgie Fitzgerald is on
6:18
and she is from Down Under as well and
6:24
they're friends of mine and from the
6:27
States we have Joey Garrity and she says
6:29
helping people help people love it I
6:31
mean it's a great slogan a great slogan
6:33
and I know Joey as well hello Joey and
6:36
hey you I think you need to talk to
6:39
Georgie I'll put you girls in touch
6:41
she's an amazing person so helping
6:45
people help people I actually retrained
6:48
after I came out from under my under my
6:53
and I'd retrained as a hypnotherapist
6:56
because I was really passionate what not
6:58
and I still AM about helping people were
7:01
not found as a result of that that I was
7:04
really really good at attracting clients
7:08
using social media for one reason or
7:11
another right and when I found another
7:15
hypnotherapist was saying to me how do
7:16
you how do you get your clients and I
7:18
started just use Facebook and so they
7:21
asked me to show them and so I showed
7:24
one and then I showed two and then I
7:25
showed you know I was actually around my
7:27
dining room table and I actually had to
7:31
cap it at six I had castles for a year
7:33
once a fortnight around my dining room
7:35
table and I had to cap it at six because
7:37
my dining room table wasn't that big Oh
7:40
interesting about this Adair is that I
7:42
mean it's same thing happened with me I
7:44
mean we we are super boomers and and we
7:46
are not you know 20 year olds and 30
7:48
year olds we are we are women who who
7:51
have embraced our age and we have
7:53
stepped into technology right we have
7:55
stepped full full-on into technology you
7:58
are a Facebook specialist and I know one
8:00
of the things that I'm always asked by
8:03
super boomers of a certain age I'm too
8:06
old to do that I'm totally hoping today
8:12
right sorry to cut you off Karen but I'm
8:15
so passionate about this because when I
8:17
hear people say that I have to remind
8:21
them about why they're here because I
8:23
work with hypnotherapist and coaches and
8:25
masseuses and people who do bowen
8:28
therapy and people in the alternative
8:30
healing modalities because I understand
8:32
the industry and they are so passionate
8:35
about what they do but they're not
8:38
marketers and so they need you they need
8:41
people like you are there and they need
8:42
people like Joey Garrity and they need
8:44
people that know how to maneuver and and
8:48
then actually show us that it's not that
8:51
hard we just have to wrap our minds
8:54
and then step into our power you know
8:56
one of the things that we have in the
8:58
super boomer lifestyle store is our is
9:01
our court case because when we travel oh
9:05
my gosh when we travel how many courts
9:07
do you have you have you have your phone
9:09
cords and your computer your laptop
9:11
cords and your iPad and your your tablet
9:13
right so one of the things that we have
9:19
in the store you guys might want to go
9:20
check it out that's our bag smart
9:22
double-layer travel cable organizer
9:24
because there's nothing right there's
9:27
nothing worse than having to dig down
9:28
into your bag right and try to find all
9:31
the stuff that's in there so we
9:33
encourage you to do that let's talk a
9:35
little bit about about your why and the
9:40
fact that you want to be a part of
9:42
creating a better world and that's where
9:43
the title came from today that we're
9:45
changing the world so talk to us a
9:47
little bit about that when I when I came
9:51
out of the funk again it all comes from
9:53
there B and I think the things that the
9:56
big learning for me was that wonderful
9:59
things can come from really shitty
10:01
experiences haha and I know I was I've
10:05
got a background in community
10:06
development and adult education and I
10:10
did too a lot of self-exploration I'm
10:13
still on that journey and still doing a
10:15
lot of self exploration and you know
10:17
spiritual growth and it's something that
10:20
came about was I want I want to be part
10:22
of a better world and I could see that
10:26
where the focus was for people was on
10:29
all the negativity that was happening in
10:31
the world and I wanted the unicorns
10:34
farting rainbows so we have to we have
10:39
to retrain our minds to be able to
10:43
recognize the beautiful stuff and the
10:45
abundance that's happening around us and
10:47
I just sort of tapped into that and go
10:50
and there is so much good there are so
10:52
much amazing stuff and so many amazing
10:54
people in the world that if you choose
10:56
to see them that's all you see and it
11:00
really does inspire you to was inspired
11:03
me to step up and and become a
11:07
a person because I want to create a
11:09
better world so and well and and in my
11:13
world so I focus there I focus on what I
11:16
can change and what I can do in my own
11:18
world so we have some friends from San
11:21
Mateo Silvia bum bruh and Joey coming in
11:25
from San Mateo that just in case you're
11:26
wondering is up in the North Bay
11:28
Northern California so they're they're
11:31
dialing in from there you do a lot of
11:33
live streaming you do a lot of
11:34
laceration so let's yes a little bit
11:37
about that I'm gonna you can see in the
11:39
picture up there this is my my webcam of
11:41
choice this is the c920 and I just click
11:45
it on to the top of my computer I can
11:46
take it with me and use it for different
11:48
things is do you encourage people that
11:52
they have to go out and get the top line
11:54
of everything in order to do this kind
11:56
of stuff where you say start where you
11:58
are start where you stand I'm actually
12:02
I'm actually on my phone and I think
12:05
I've got my set up over there in the
12:09
corner but I believe that if we think
12:12
that we need to have everything and
12:15
that's something that we do it stops a
12:19
lot of people is this big oh my god it's
12:22
all too hard it's all too big it's all
12:24
going to cost you much more in actual
12:25
fact it's not too hard it's not too big
12:28
and it's very very very inexpensive it's
12:33
it really is that that that's the
12:35
brilliance of this it is so simple to
12:38
get started yeah so how did you get into
12:41
the life how did you decide to jump into
12:43
the life you've been doing this for
12:44
several years now I know and what was
12:46
the empire's was it the platform where
12:48
the people why did you decide to jump
12:50
into life I could see it as what when I
12:54
started as hypnotherapist I was looking
12:56
at other hypnotherapist business pages
12:58
and seeing what people did well and what
13:00
they did poorly and I happen to be awake
13:04
and alert when I saw what was happening
13:08
on Facebook with the live streaming now
13:09
I was terrified of live broadcasting
13:14
public speaking is one thing live
13:17
broadcasting this exit
13:20
level it says though I'd done
13:22
conferences and and you know panel
13:24
sessions and public speaking before it
13:26
there'd always terrified me but I did it
13:28
my broadcast is just a whole different
13:31
base that go that when you're talking to
13:33
this little hole up here I don't know
13:38
about you but when I started I was live
13:40
streaming back in the 90s believe it or
13:42
not and then and then fast-forward when
13:44
it became a little bit more ease of use
13:47
we could we can do this via Facebook and
13:49
then of course I used be live and I
13:51
believe use be live as well as part of
13:53
the platforms that you use and when we
13:56
started doing this you know the first
13:58
time out when I first started doing it I
14:00
sucked I was so bad and when I would go
14:04
and watch the show afterwards I'd
14:06
watched the recording I did I would pick
14:08
it apart and say oh my god look at I
14:10
look like why am i doing that why are my
14:12
hands moving they still move by the way
14:13
guys I I talk with my hands and and one
14:16
of the things that I realized is that
14:18
with anything else practice practice
14:20
practice the more you do it the more
14:22
comfortable you get and it's not about
14:24
age it is not about 8 it is just about
14:26
saying I'm gonna do it I'm gonna step
14:28
into it and if I don't if I'm not good
14:30
the first time out oh well neither was
14:32
anybody else right I think that is
14:36
absolutely just something we need to
14:39
hang on to because when I saw that live
14:42
streaming was an opportunity to get the
14:45
message out there so what I do and a bit
14:47
of advice for people who are terrified
14:50
of live broadcasting is that it is to
14:56
remember when you come on here remember
14:59
why remember why you're here so when I
15:02
first started it was like I was
15:04
terrified and I would do I would
15:07
actually started do a story pre-recorded
15:10
videos that and I would pre record a
15:12
video like 200 times and then not post
15:15
it so but what I what I wanted to share
15:19
with people is remember your why
15:21
remember that the biggest thing I had to
15:24
do was get over myself I still don't
15:27
like the way my lips look when I talk I
15:30
still got I still don't like the sound
15:32
of my voice but you know
15:34
actually quite happily ignore that
15:36
because I feel I've got a bigger Drive
15:38
and a bigger purpose having gotten over
15:41
myself because I want to help people
15:43
help people and I want to create a
15:45
better world and that's where I focus is
15:48
I love that and and again you know when
15:52
people say I hate the way I look on
15:53
camera yeah that you know get over it
15:55
guys snap out of it because you look
15:57
exactly how you look in real life we're
16:01
just not used to looking at our faces on
16:03
a regular basis like this so it's funny
16:05
you say that you know it's the way your
16:06
lips are this I blink a lot and every
16:08
time I see myself on camera go oh my
16:10
gosh I'm blinking but you know what I
16:13
everyone's looking at themselves they're
16:14
not really looking at you right I know
16:18
there was a little treat scuse me and
16:21
there was a little trick that I did that
16:23
I absolutely loved and I just thought I
16:25
see people smiling because when I'm
16:28
going to do something I study what other
16:30
people are doing that have or a doing
16:33
what I want to do and I just saw them
16:35
smiling and now I just go I like to
16:37
smile when I talk and I tell you what
16:40
that can't be a bad skill to have kids
16:42
no it can't and I think that's such a
16:44
great tip if that's all you walk away
16:47
from a smile guys smile because we are
16:50
embracing who we are we're embracing the
16:52
technology if you go on alive and you
16:54
decide you're gonna jump in and do it
16:56
then as as Joey says everyone do a live
17:00
show this is we're gonna we're
17:01
gonna actually we're gonna actually give
17:03
you all of you that are watching whether
17:05
on live or replay go out and take your
17:08
phone and push the live button on
17:10
Facebook and go do 30 seconds and let
17:13
people get to know you and then come on
17:15
back and let us know that you did it we
17:17
would love to see what you're doing
17:18
we'll go check out your lives because it
17:20
really it sounds scary but it really is
17:23
not right it's really not so you know if
17:27
so here you you're doing your live
17:29
streams and you use a particular camera
17:30
you want to get a little more fancy you
17:32
can actually incorporate lights none of
17:35
these things by the way are expensive
17:36
this is very in if you can pick up a set
17:39
of lights if you see there you go oh I
17:40
love that you can put that around your
17:42
camera or you can use big ones you know
17:45
that's it oh that's awesome
17:47
I don't have one of those I should
17:48
probably go out and get one of those
17:50
again it's it's equipment you can piece
17:54
it together you can start with the
17:56
camera and then maybe add on the lights
17:58
and maybe after that you want to add on
18:00
something else and so again this is this
18:04
is something that you can take it slow
18:06
or you can jump in altogether and just
18:07
do it because you know Adair and I are
18:10
here to tell you that you can do it you
18:13
can change the world by what you how you
18:16
feel and your message that you want to
18:18
get out and that's what we mean by
18:20
changing the world your message is
18:22
important you know I know that people
18:24
want to get in touch with you and find
18:26
