783. Un-Numb, Realign, + ATTRACT: A Simple Manifestation Reset That Actually Feels Good

25:31Like I'm about to get married in one month. I wanted to really just embrace this like last era of my life as, you know, someone who, you know, is not married and not, you know, going to start a family at some point soon. Like I just wanted to really, this is my last year fully alone, you know? So I just, I wanted to embrace that. And I think that was like the thing that tipped me over the edge. I said, okay, I'm just going to delete it. And I learned a lot. I realized that it was a lot easier to tune in, to tap in. I also realized that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. like you can also turn off or delete the apps off your phone from Friday to Monday.

26:07And I do that very often because you can still get a taste of it, the benefits of it without being chronically online all of the time. So I think it's, yeah.

26:20So Upwork, I talk about Upwork with my clients all the freaking time. I was on the phone with one of my clients last night and I said, girl, you are no longer going to edit your podcast yourself, you are going to outsource with Upwork. This was her budget.

27:47Lindsey Simcik:As we move into summer, I always want my skin to feel healthy, nourished, and glowy. I'm a glow girl. I want it shiny. I want a glazed donut. But I realized that glow doesn't come from chasing new products every single week. It comes from consistency. So lately I've been using Naturium and their Glow Getter Bundle. Y 'all, I have to recommend this to you because it honestly made my body care routine feel like such a luxury. Okay. The multi-oil body wash, I put it in my shower.

So give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves. Go to naturium.com slash almost 30 for 10 % off your first purchase. That's naturium.com slash almost 30. I think this is really important to remind people of because when you were speaking about being able to tap into your future self more quickly and easily, when we're scrolling online, we're tapping into everyone else's self and future selves.

29:13Lindsey Simcik:You know, we're kind of like, it's not our own. It's not our own story. It's not our own life. It's not our own emotions. But oftentimes we'll walk away from social media kind of feeling the residue of that. And then not sure if it's ours, being unable to shake it, being unable to really visualize for ourselves. So I think that's a really, really important point. And I was just going to say, to kind of help me with my social media relationship, I've been doing one of your pep talks that's really helped. It's the really quick one to reconnect with your most authentic self. And I think it just helps me recalibrate.

29:52Lindsey Simcik:You know, after I've been like dipping my face into other people's lives, it's just really a way for me to recenter. So I'll do this on a walk after I feel like I've been on social media for a bit. And it's just been so, so helpful. Oh, I'm so glad to hear. You know, it's funny because the people that use activations throughout the day, actually what I've noticed is, or when I use them throughout the day, and I've noticed from our users writing in stories, it actually helps build that like discipline muscle to like turn the phone off. You know, like the more that you listen to activations, the more that it gives you that bunny trail of a decision, you know, you have the main paved path and then the bunny trail on the side.

30:35The more you listen to activations, the more that bunny trail presents itself to you to make a different decision, right? To have more of that self-discipline in that moment to just think, huh, you know what? I'm not feeling amazing right now. I kind of want to bounce back. And it makes it effortless and a little bit more like light, because the thing about personal development work, and I'm sure everyone listening can resonate, it's like a lot of the time it can feel really complicated and hard and just not fun. And life is supposed to be fun, right? So this work actually doesn't have to be heavy and hard and intense.

31:12It can actually feel light and fun if you just know what levers to pull, if you just know that the only important things are clarity and becoming and maintaining those three very simple steps. I know we briefly spoke about it in the last episode, but I can just give the audience a reminder if you guys want, especially because my book just came out and I have three parts to my book, Clarity Becoming Maintaining. So it's really the very simple formula. And we all need this reminder sometimes. So if you have that vision of your future self, there is a version of all of us, you, me, the listener, there's a version of all of us that we want to either continue maintaining to be or we want to transform into depending on where we are in our journey.

31:58So if you want to get to that future self and actually achieve the version of you that is your ultimate potential, the version of you that you really want to live and experience in this one life. The steps are simple. Number one, you need to get crystal clear on how it feels to be that person, on the energy, the self-image, the embodiment of your future self. And by the way, I use the term future self like it's your best self. It's your favorite self. Like I am my future self right now. It doesn't just live in the future, you know? So just want to reiterate that, but it's very important to know how it feels to be her.

32:36And the most important thing is that frequency, that energy. And in that last episode that we did, we actually talked the audience through a feeling like in creating that future self-frequency. So I won't do it again, but really embodying that future self-frequency is clarity. Step number one, if you want to go into more detail, you know, clarity and really overhaul your whole life. You can look into the five pillars of your future self, mental, physical, financial, social, and spiritual. You can deep dive into that and just get clear, whether it's through journaling. We have tons of activations for clarity.

33:14In my book, I have a ton of journal prompts that you can also use for each of those pillars. And then we move on to step two. So step one is clarity. Okay. Step two is becoming. You must become your future self in everyday moments be her now before the material has materialized right i always tell myself be her now though that's like my version of nike is just do it like the most important thing is to simplify this transformation process because everyone tries to over complicate it i know i won't stick to something if it's complicated and hard and i've been able to hack the system by simplifying it And everyone listening can do the same thing.

33:55Whatever you're doing listening to this right now, what would it feel like in your body? How would you hold yourself if you were to be her right now, being your future self right now? What is her energy like? What are her mannerisms like? What's her posture? What does it feel like to live in that body, your future self, right? So becoming is the main bulk of the quote work. And it's fun to do. Like I was mentioning earlier, like it is so simple. It is so fun. You can embody her while you're in line at the grocery store. You can embody her while you're brushing your teeth in the morning. What would it feel like to be her now?

34:34And especially when I'm looking for big moments of transformation in my life, I will remind myself, I'll put a post-it note that says, be her now on my water bottle or on my bathroom mirror. I'll put reminders on my phone in my in my google calendar on the timer on my phone saying be her now and it just reminds me those three words remind me that's all it takes whatever you're doing no matter what it is no matter where you are just be her now and this is the practice okay that's the simplified practice of all of it being her now and then phase three in my book is all about maintaining and then we talk about the bounce back rate how it's not about perfection it's not about being in your future self-frequency 24 hours of the day because that doesn't exist i've never had one day where i was her all day long no that we're human beings we perfection is not the goal because it literally doesn't exist that will distract you from actually getting there faster what you need to focus on is the bounce back rate how quickly you can bounce back to being your future self after you fell off the bandwagon.

35:40So those are the three kind of steps. I really say the two steps are clarity and becoming, but the third maintaining is also important. Beautiful. I was thinking about when you were talking, and maybe we talked about this before we started recording, but you said you've done a lot of healing too in the past, you know, 12 months since we recorded. And a lot of our audience, they are in processes of deep healing. Like, you know, they're going to therapy, they're doing the work. How are you balancing deep healing work that can bring up things, that can sort of throw you off your center, that can bring you to an emotional tender state with also being the future self and moving yourself forward?

36:24It's a really good question, Krista. And I know that going deep in and doing intense therapy and doing that very deep work is huge for a lot of people. So I can only speak from personal experience here. The best change that I've seen in my life when it comes to especially forgiving the old self, I think that's probably where I've struggled the most in my life is forgiveness and letting go of shame and guilt for being who I used to be. Like I can honestly get emotional thinking about it. I feel so bad for how badly I treated myself, you know, like, I, I'm so sorry to that little girl, you know, and I think that's like, it's just starting to love myself.

37:17And I've been on that journey for a very long time now, not for years, but it's, it's just loving every version of yourself that has been so healing. And like I was going to say earlier, like I don't do therapy. For me, the work comes for myself. If I need to figure something out and heal something, I'm going to journal. I'm going to listen to activations and I'm going to do what I know intimately I need to do. Sure, talking about it, of course, you know, is very helpful sometimes too. But this is just my personal experience. I'm good at being going inward. But yeah, you know, and this work has made me realize that the more that I soften and love every version of myself, the more that this future self like really just becomes real because my future self loves every version of herself.

38:09You know, she really does love that younger Mimi that was so lost that might've made tons of decisions that she regrets, you know, like it's, it's, there's so much beauty in just forgiving yourself and loving yourself. And also when you start fully loving yourself, you know you deserve the future that you want you know you don't have any feelings of oh like you know that can't happen to me or i'll be happy when those thoughts of i don't know that can happen to that person but not me or i'll be happy when i'm you know rich or skinny or whatever it is that we freaking tell ourselves you know i think just those are all things that are showing that we don't have enough of that love towards ourselves.

38:54And that is the number one most important thing. Because if you love and respect yourself, you're able to create whatever life you want. You're able to be happy. You're able to be in a place of just full peace and bliss with the life you live, no matter what happens. Because it is not just the event that happens in your life that equals the outcome. It is the event plus your response that equals the outcome. Beautiful. I think we often relate to speaking ourselves really cruelly when we were younger. And I think a lot of what's nice about getting older and becoming more conscious is being able to sort of see that voice or kind of pull that voice apart from us and notice.

39:40Because I think Like for so long, I was run by that voice. And I didn't even really know that it wasn't the voice of the true me or the true self. And yeah, that voice is pretty cruel. Absolutely. But it's not you. You know, it's this whole becoming your future self. It's not about becoming something you've never been. It is about shedding away all of the layers that you're not, that you never actually have been that you took on when you were younger and throughout your life through different experiences, but becoming your future self is actually the most beautiful, authentic thing you could ever do because you're actually becoming who you are deep down.

40:22Like I feel the most connected to my like five-year-old self that I've ever had, you know, today. I actually feel like this, the soul inside of me is very, you know, she's, she's light, she's, you know, available. She, there's not that much heaviness that is now kind of sitting on top of that beautiful little soul at five-year-old Mimi's soul. I really feel like that playfulness, that lightness, that just love for being alive and that awe and that wonder has come back. And this is in my adult years, it's pretty incredible. And obviously there was a lot that had to get me to this point, but this whole journey of becoming my future self has been, you know, this beautiful, incredible, awe-striking journey.

41:05And it keeps showing me these beautiful gifts, like the universe, the more that I sink into this and surrender to it and do what I know I got to do and feel how I want to feel now, the more that the universe just gives me these gifts and shows me these really coincidental, crazy, you know, experiences that couldn't have just happened. You know, it's, it's really wild how this, how the world works in a different way to how I used to think, you know, like most of the population thinks the world works in this way. It actually works in this other way. And this other way makes getting what you want way more easeful and fun and light.

41:44And you can start right now, no matter where you are, even if you hate where you are right now, or you want to change something or you want to heal something, this work simplifies it. I'm actually not a massive believer in like going in and dealing with all like opening up these massive, you know, buckets of trauma. Like I actually think just focus on where you want to go. And a lot of the other stuff will heal itself. And listen, I know that might be controversial. I'm just telling you, you know, what's worked for me, but just focus on where you want to go. Focus on where you want to go. Stop holding yourself back.

42:20Understand that your beliefs are literally creating your life no matter what. So if you tell yourself that you are a victim, you are going to see reasons everywhere why you are a victim. Your reticular activating system, the filtration system in your brain that decides what you actually notice and don't notice from what's happening around you, that is going to be triggered. When you believe deep down, I am a victim, You're going to start seeing reasons everywhere. You're really going to be convinced because that is your truth. But if you begin to work on changing your self-image, rewiring your mind, and becoming your future self now, and you start to say, believe that you are 100 % responsible for your life, that good things are on their way, that it is inevitable, it is going to happen, this life that you crave, you know, the relationship that you crave, the career that you crave, that transition that you crave, any of those things, if you really believe like this is meant for me, I know it's happening.

43:22And I believe in myself enough to get there. And I'm going to do, you know, the work to become that future self version of me because I know that I want to live this one life so fully. If you do that, your RAS, your reticular activating system is going to be triggered differently. And guess what? You're going to get there easier and faster than ever before because you are going to be seeing the opportunities, the moments, the experiences that are, you know, have always been there, but you just never noticed them. You're going to start seeing reasons why you are empowered to create your dream life.

43:56You're going to start seeing reasons why you actually are on your way to getting to where you want to be. And you're going to start romanticizing where you are right now because that's what you have to do when you're not where you want to be. You need to romanticize the fact that you're the beginning or the middle or the messy bit of your journey. And you're going to look back on this time with so much love and compassion for yourself. And when you do that, it makes the entire journey so much more pleasant and you're going to get to the end result faster.

I was on the phone with one of my clients last night and I said, girl, you are no longer going to edit your podcast yourself, you are going to outsource with Upwork. This was her budget.

45:56Lindsey Simcik:As we move into summer, I always want my skin to feel healthy, nourished, and glowy. I'm a glow girl. I want it shiny. I want a glazed donut. But I realized that glow doesn't come from chasing new products every single week. It comes from consistency. So lately I've been using Naturium and their Glow Gutter Bundle. Y 'all, I have to recommend this to you because it honestly made my body care routine feel like such a luxury. Okay. The multi-oil body wash, I put it in my shower. It transforms from this rich oil into a soft lather that is just incredible for your skin. The body scrub, y 'all, it leaves my skin radiant, smooth, beautiful.

46:34Lindsey Simcik:And the body oil paired with the body butter gives that hydrated, luminous look that's perfect for summer. I show off my belly and it's just like nice and glowy and amazing. So Naturium believes skincare should be clinically effective, skin compatible, and affordable. It's luxury you can use every single day and that's what creates real consistency. I'm excited for you. So give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves. Go to naturium.com slash almost 30 for 10 % off your first purchase. That's naturium.com slash almost 30.

47:07Lindsey Simcik:I'm curious for people listening who so desperately want to do what you're saying, like really embody their future self and believe in that and, you know, have beliefs that really reflect the life that they want to live. But the leap from where they are to that feels just so great. And so I would love to kind of ground us in the science behind activations because they are so powerful. But why is this helping to neurologically, cognitively really make that leap and retrain how we think and how we embody? Yes, absolutely. And just know that I developed these audios because I like the shortcut when I first started my journey and I wanted to get into personal development and I wanted to transform my life, the one thing that I started doing that gave me this stark difference from where I was to where I wanted to be, the one thing I started doing that actually made me see results very quickly in my life was activations.

48:13And back in the day, I didn't know I was going to create an app with activations for the public. This was just me realizing that meditation wasn't really resonating. I was trying, couldn't really stick to it. I felt bored clearing my mind. I needed something energizing. I wanted to get up and go. I was living paycheck to paycheck. I was struggling. I was feeling desperate and helpless and just so at my rock bottom that I needed something to lift me up to make me feel like my dreams were possible to get me into that future self energy. I was reading about how visualization is so important. I didn't know how else to do it because I couldn't really stick to meditation.

48:51So I naturally took out my phone one day. This was eight, nine years ago, and I started recording the original activation. It was a mix between motivational guidance, visualization, vision of the future I was going to live. And then I would take that audio, put it in GarageBand and layer in inspiring cinematic music that made me feel alive, that made me feel like I was the main character of my life. And then I would put it back on my phone and then I'd listen to these activations in everyday moments while I was, you know, going on the bus to get to one of my four jobs when I was cooking dinner at night, when I was, you know, going to the gym, going on my walks, when I was doing my makeup in the morning, I would just listen to these audios.

49:35And I created so many of them because I get tired of them really quickly. I'd listen to them in everyday moments. And my life started changing dramatically from the moment I started to do that. So obviously now fast forward, I have an app with like 700 plus activations on there designed for, you know, your personal transformation. But the science behind it is crazy. And I didn't really realize when I first started listening to this, what the science was, but the more that I've, you know, done this research and listened to these mentors and done the actual studying of how this works, it's amazed me.

50:09And everything that I read now, I really understand like everything in psychology and science and, you know, neuroscience and, and quantum physics and spirituality, all of those things that I'm reading now, it all comes back to this and it all makes so much sense. So Lindsay, to answer your question in long, the science behind it is so incredibly simple, but powerful. So one of my favorite things about activations is that you listen to them in everyday moments. Like I mentioned, when you're walking, getting ready in the morning, on your commute, whatever it is. So the beautiful science behind how that actually transforms you faster than doing any type of meditation sitting with your eyes closed is that you are practicing being your future self in real time in everyday moments.

50:53You're taking advantage of classical conditioning. So we've all heard of the Pavlov dog theory. Pavlov rings the bell, the dog salivates. That's classical conditioning. You are doing the same thing with yourself when you are listening to activations. So let's say you are listening to an activation every morning when you're doing your makeup before going to work. Soon enough, you're not even going to need that activation to feel empowered, confident, happy, in love with life, abundant. Soon enough, that just becomes how your body responds when you're doing your makeup in the morning. Can you imagine that?

51:31And then you're in line at the grocery store and you listen to a two-minute pep talk activation. And this just reminds you to snap back into it, to feel like your future self, to be her now. And then soon enough, you're in line somewhere else and you're waiting around and you realize, wait, my body is feeling, my energy is feeling really just grounded and confident. And I'm not as anxious as I am usually, or I'm feeling really like, you know, in awe of the world around me and excited for my future. So classical conditioning piece is mega when it comes to activations and how it transforms you because this is like the lazy girl's hack to transformation.

52:10And listen, I, again, like the shortcut route. I like to go the route that will be the fastest and most effective. And this is amazing for people that can resonate with that because you can habit stack activations. You can listen to activations while you're already doing what you already do. You know, you don't need to carve out 20 minutes out of your day to sit down and do this thing. You don't need to even consciously listen to the words and the activations. You can just play them in the background. Your subconscious is listening. You're going to be transforming no matter what. So that's one of my favorite, more kind of neuroscience-y pieces of evidence that why this work works so well and why we've seen tens of thousands of testimonials.

52:56I was actually just before this podcast going through our app store reviews. And honestly, like, it amazes me how many we get. And they're all real and verified. Anyone can go look like people are changing their lives with this. They are literally feeling different in everyday moments, therefore becoming different. They are rewiring their brains and changing their self image moving towards what they want. And it's it is fascinating. So that's one of my favorite, you know, pieces of science behind it. There's also, you know, energy is in your biofield. I I was talking about that before you become a magnet.

53:33When you do this work, you become a magnet to what you want. And that's just fact. One of my favorite ways to use it is when I sleep. So I like the attract miracles into your life, sleep affirmations. So I think it was a few years ago, I was watching something from, I think, Dr. Wayne Dyer or someone of the like, and they were talking about, or no, it's another one that I'll find the name. But he was talking about the importance of basically listening to something that is impressionable to the subconscious mind before bed because of the brainwave state that you're in. So it's like my favorite way to multitask.

54:09It's like a nice speech. And then I can know that I'm really attracting my miracles before bed. For someone that is loving her life so much and that feels so good and feels so in her future self, what are you doing in the morning and what are you doing at night to set yourself up for success? Yeah, because I honestly, it's funny, people ask me, okay, you've achieved, bit, you're your future self, what next? This work is consistent. You need to maintain it. You need to remind yourself every day, I want to feel good. You need to remind yourself that this is the reality that I want to select. And I love how you're asking this question because I feel like there's a misconception that once you get there, then everything will be perfect in your life.

54:51It doesn't really work that way. You have to just chip away. You know, you got to chip away. You got to be your future self in everyday moments. And you need to remind yourself, you need to remind yourself every single day that you want to be this version of you, but it gets to be very enjoyable. So I enjoy doing it when it comes to my morning and evening routines. So I used to be very rigid in my routine because I thought that's what success looked like. And I realized that with me being more of a creative, feminine, intuitive human being, I would wake up some mornings and actually really feel resistant to doing this like more rigid routine.

55:29So now the only thing that I want to achieve when it comes to my routines throughout my day is what can I do to align myself with being my future self in this moment, right? So some mornings I wake up and I'm like, okay, I got a lot on my mind. I need, you know, a little pep talk or something. So maybe I'll sit down, do some journaling and then listen to a quick activation. Or I'll do my journaling and talk to myself like I'm already my future self. You know, I'll do things like that. And we have so many writing activations on Activations, the app. If anyone listening here, it feels like journaling freestyle is like a bit too difficult because, you know, it is difficult sometimes to think about prompts in the moment.

56:11I also really do like to just brain dump. Sometimes when there's a lot on your mind, you just want to put pen to paper and just write. And that really helps sometimes, but it depends on my needs. I'll be honest with you. Like I am generally, and I identify as a healthy person. I identify as someone who takes care of herself. So I do things that align with that identity, but I'm not rigid and I'm not strict and I don't track anything. And I think that has allowed me to step into this life even more fully because back in the day, I used to have a checklist at my office desk every single day. If I did my morning routine perfectly, I would check it off.

56:50But guess what? I've been seeing more results in my life, more desired results since not doing that and just being her. So it's simplifying it. It's so interesting about that because I think about that journey from being very strict and disciplined. And I had that as well. So at the beginning of my health and wellness journey, I had the list and I was doing all the things. And now I absolutely the same as you, I completely freestyle and I'm not structured with much like my workouts, my routines, like I just kind of live my supplements. I'm just all intuitive, but at this point, do you think that that first period, so someone that's completely new to this space and they're looking to change their life, do you think the first period of having more structure and regimen is important because then it gets them into the routine, they see the benefits and then they can see what works and sort of leave what doesn't?

57:43That is actually such a good question. I've never been asked this question before. It could absolutely be beneficial. I'm not going to say it won't. But what I will say is if you can just understand that it's actually not the thing that's going to get you to where you want to be, and you acknowledge that the most important thing is being your future self and connecting with her every day, no matter what that looks like and just flowing through life like her, like the more that you get familiar with what it's like to be her, you don't need all the rigidness. But you're right. If you do feel like you need that reminder every day, you need that more solid routine.

58:26Like, I think this just differs person to person. And I'm sharing my personal experience here. I think it really differs because I see how it can be beneficial. And I think at the beginning, it is more beneficial. but the ultimate ideal thing is to get to a point where you actually can just flow, right? Especially in the feminine, you know, I think so many women want to be in a more feminine experience and want to feel more like I was saying soft before. And I think a part of that is being a little bit more flexible with our routines and flexible with sort of how we're living and moving through life.

59:01And I think when I was more rigid with my health and wellness routines. I was in my corporate job. It was like my whole life was much more rigid and now it's gotten so much, you know, more flexible. What would you say to one of the listeners on the show that feels like they're made for more, doesn't feel like they're living up to their potential and like really wants to find that place where they're living up to their potential? Well, that little voice deep inside of you that says, I know I'm meant for more. I know that there is more for me in this one beautiful life I get to live. That little voice is, I believe, the true self.

59:39That is your future self, your truest self, your highest self coming through. And the more that you listen to that beautiful little voice that kind of comes out of your heart, I don't know about you, I'm a big feeler physically. So it kind of comes out of your heart and like the top of your gut, that feeling of like, wait, maybe there's more for me here. So that, the more you listen to that, and that's your intuition, I think too, the more you listen to that, the more it guides you to, hey, maybe I should try this thing, or maybe I should, you know, like delete, you know, Instagram for a month, or maybe I should, you know, start listening to an activation once a day in the morning at this time, and maybe try to be a bit more routine if that's what you're, you know, wanting to do.

1:00:21I think the more that you just sink into that feeling, the more it will guide you to where you're supposed to be, you're meant to be. Because I'm actually not going to say where you want to go, where you're meant to go. Because if your intuition is telling you, listen, I think I meant to go this, you know, this, this place, this farther, you know, place where I'm not there yet. You have to respect that voice and to listen to that voice and follow that voice if that is your soul, right? So I think my answer to whoever feels stuck right now, my answer is you can create. the life that you desire.

1:01:00So stop choosing that you are stuck and start choosing that you are at the beginning of this beautiful journey and you are in the middle of a transformation. Create a new narrative for yourself. Not I'm stuck, I can't, can't be happy till this thing happens. Get out of that mindset. It's your beliefs. It is your thoughts that are holding you back. Create a practice where you are combating those beliefs with beliefs that are aligned with your future self energy. Commit to it. All you need to do is commit to it and it doesn't have to be that hard. Sometimes I wish I could shake my younger self because she thought it was so hard.

1:01:37It doesn't actually need to be that hard. You just need to be consistent. You don't need to be perfect. And you just have to show up and do the work on yourself every day. Whether that is journaling and doing a future self journaling every morning, whether that's listening to an activation, whether that is doing a visualization by yourself, You know, you don't need to do it. You can do them yourself. Whatever that is for you, just commit to it. Because when you start to shift the belief from I'm stuck, I can't, to, okay, I'm embarking on this amazing journey. I'm about to transform. Big things are on their way.

1:02:14And you start to romanticize it. That's when it starts to happen faster. And that's when you start to actually have fun doing it and you actually commit to the consistency.

1:02:27so Upwork I talk about Upwork with my clients all the freaking time I was on the phone with one of my clients last night and I said girl you are no longer going to edit your podcast yourself you are going to outsource with Upwork this was her budget she wanted to stay under a certain amount so we had to find someone that would be a perfect fit for her Upwork is really the one-stop platform where you can find hire and pay expert freelancers across everything from marketing and business operations to web development, design data, and so much more.

1:03:55Lindsey Simcik:As we move into summer, I always want my skin to feel healthy, nourished, and glowy. I'm a glow girl. I want it shiny. I want a glazed donut. But I realize that glow doesn't come from chasing new products every single week. It comes from consistency. So lately I've been using Naturium and their Glow Getter Bundle. Y 'all, I have to recommend this to you because it honestly made my body care routine feel like such a luxury. Okay, the multi-oil body wash, I put it in my shower. It transforms from this rich oil into a soft lather that is just incredible for your skin. The body scrub, y 'all, it leaves my skin radiant, smooth, beautiful.

1:04:32Lindsey Simcik:And the body oil paired with the body butter gives that hydrated, luminous look that's perfect for summer. I show off my belly and it's just like nice and glowy and amazing. So Naturian believes skincare should be clinically effective, skin compatible, and affordable. It's luxury you can use every single day, and that's what creates real consistency. I'm excited for you.

My last question is around your wedding. And I know this is a topic a lot of people are interested in because I think a big life event like this can bring up so much.

1:05:16Lindsey Simcik:You know, there's stress, there's expectations, there's projections, all these things. And so how have you been able to just really keep the energetics around it as clean and clear as possible and really be in that celebration and that joy and protect that? Yeah. So it's funny you asked this, Lindsay, because I didn't realize like how much this work has transformed me until like the wedding started creeping up. I'm getting married literally in one month. I have so I have no negative anxious, you know, like resentment, shame, whatever. Like I have no negative emotions towards anything to do with this wedding.

1:06:05Whereas before I would be stressed out, okay, what if it rains or what if this thing happens or, oh my God, that person, you know, RSVP'd no without sending me a text. What a bitch. Like I'm, I used to get into this mode of like, you know, overthinking everything. Yeah, literally overanalyzing and really holding on to like, you know, an over, the overthinking thing was major, you know. and yes that might have happened where someone who I thought I was close with you know just RSVP'd no with no note and just never said anything and I was kind of at first like oh but you know I've actually been able to let things go and not overthink so much like I used to you know I know my old self would have clung on to that and felt shame because I felt like maybe you know I wasn't good enough and that's why she's you know not coming but I've been so proud of how I've reacted with everything essentially.

1:06:56And it just shows how much this work has worked for me because when you're put against something, you know, big in your life, whether it's getting married or going through a divorce or having a child, like when you go through a big moment in your life, that is when you actually come to face to face with how much work you've actually done on yourself. And, um, I feel really proud about, you know, how I've been with all of it. I've been very chill, which I used to not, you know, feel I would ever be able to say. Um, so yeah, and I I also feel really excited because we're creating a bridal series for activations right now.

1:07:30I'm recording it this weekend and we have a collection of eight activations that I'm literally so excited to share with everyone. We already have one on the app for on your wedding day, but we're going to do a whole kind of series around like, okay, like bringing in aligned vendors and, you know, like manifesting the ideal day for yourself. Like now we're also going to have, you know, feel confident before dress shopping and, you know, listen to this like confidence and grounding activation before your wedding day, like the night before. And we're going to have this whole collection kind of walking you through the entire process.

1:08:05So I just thought that'd be fun because obviously it's happening in this time in my life. And I know a lot of our users might be going through something similar or know someone who is like feeling really stressed or anxious, you know, in the process. So I'm really pumped about it. But I think this wedding is my future self wedding. I don't know if I told you this, but one of our top composers for the app, his name is Judah. And he is one of our top music composers. We use a lot of his music for the app. He does scores music for TV and movies, like really big TV and movies. and his music really just makes you feel like you're in the middle of this like beautiful transformation.

1:08:46It's the most just emotive, gorgeous cinematic music you've ever heard. So I've become quite friendly with him. I go to LA and I visit him and we talk about work a lot of the time. But last time I was in LA, I actually convinced him to create a custom piece of music for when I'm walking down the aisle. Because all I want is to feel like I'm living in an activation, Even though I won't have the voice projected on the speakers, that'd be a bit weird. I want to listen to the music. You know, the activations music is so like, you know, it's our music when you listen to it before the words even come in.

1:09:20And so cinematic and it just makes you feel like you're the main character in your own movie. So I got him to create a custom song and he's I'm actually going to fly him to London and he's going to do it live with my other musicians while I'm walking down the aisle. So my whole thing is I want to feel like I'm in an activation the whole day because that's when I feel my best. That's when I feel the most alive. So yeah, it's definitely going to be an epic wedding.

1:09:45Lindsey Simcik:That's amazing. So cool. So, so cool. I'm so excited for you. And yeah, I think just like claiming that too, you know, I think that's like very inspiring for people to hear where you just really claim this whole experience and be able to receive and, and really step in fully. Cause I think there can be so many thoughts, beliefs around you within you that can kind of pull you out of that. So I love that for you. I can't wait to hear how it is. Thank you. I'm really pumped. Okay. Should we, should we like share our favorite activations? Cause Oh yeah. Let's do a quick fire. Okay. Let's quick fire.

1:10:19So one of my favorites that I've been doing a lot because success is my Achilles heel in life is the sex reprogramming before bed is such a good one. It's calming. So as soon as I get into bed, I'll just put it on and then just listen to it for 19 minutes. And then I'll sometimes, and like the other nights I'm not doing that, I'll listen to the, um, extract miracles one when I sleep. I love that so much. It's funny because when you said sex, because I was like, wait, did you listen to this episode? I did a podcast with Girls Gotta Eat. And in that podcast, you know how they talk about, you don't know them?

1:11:01No, I love them. Oh, you love them. Okay, you said you know them. They talk about sex a lot, right? And in the episode, they were like, well, can you manifest during sex? And I like, I'm pretty PG, like, gotta keep my brand, you know. But it was funny, because when you mentioned that I thought you were going to talk about that episode. But in that episode, we talk about how if you embody your future self energy, when you're like, orgasming, it is, it is very effective at like embedding that energy even more like into your body, there's something that happens when you do that. So we had a really funny conversation about that.

1:11:37But anyway, you feel good. So it's like, if you're looking to feel good in the future, orgasm is when you can feel really good, you're releasing all the hormones and then you can kind of use that. It's like sex magic. They call it like with a K. Yeah. Yeah. It's powerful for manifestation. And then always my favorite is the lucky girl one. Oh yeah. Lucky girl. I listen to that all the time. The lucky girl energy one is literally one of the most popular ones on the app. Like we have hundreds of thousands of downloads on that one activation, the lucky girl. And we actually created a whole series around the lucky girl energy one.

1:12:15So even if anyone listening wants to go to the app and press the search bar and put in lucky girl, you'll see we have like a kajillion of them now. So I love that for you.

1:12:25Lindsey Simcik:Yeah, I was gonna say I actually love the jazzy lucky girl affirmations with while cooking because you know, when I'm this is probably the top reason why I love activations is the ability to have a stack and multitask. And so when I'm cooking dinner or breakfast for Mav, we'll put these on. Um, I also really love, um, the targeted visualizations, especially in the manifest money and five days challenge. I was like, Ooh, girl. Um, so manifest$10 ,000 manifest a hundred thousand dollars. It's just really, um, been very powerful to like allow like cellularly to be that, receive that, be there, you know, and really feel into that.

1:13:08Lindsey Simcik:So I am obsessed with that one. Lindsay, just before you keep going, like I actually can't even tell you these targeted visualizations. We just got a review the other day from a customer named Tiandra is her name. And she wrote a review. It's on the app store. And she spoke about how she mentioned that she had to stop using the targeted visualizations because it was working too well. She said that she did the manifest$50 ,000 activation daily and out of the blue, like her boss offered her this new job and then like her other business started getting all these opportunities that she literally had to stop using it.

1:13:45So it's very effective. That one, like so insane.

1:13:50Lindsey Simcik:It's really, really powerful. I love that one. And, um, I really love the feeling motivated through ups and downs. Cause you know, I just think part of being human is, is experiencing ups and downs, um, on a weekly basis sometimes. And so, um, that one is, is super comforting for me where it's almost like a way that I can like lean back a little bit and just allow myself to be held and just reminded. Um, and yeah, it's just super powerful. So what is your favorite activation right now? Well, the, in the targeted visualization category, like the manifest specific amount of money ones, we obviously have from like a thousand dollars all the way to like a hundred million dollars and everything in between.

1:14:33So, you know, for anyone who wants to, you know, to who feels resonant with a certain number, they can select that. So I've been listening to those an insane amount. And it's been my new hyper fixation. Like the way that I use the app, people always ask, like, how do you use the app? Because I use it every day. And I create these activations selfishly a lot of the time, you know, because I want certain ones. And then obviously, you know, we have so many for, for every type of aspect of your life, but you know, the, the manifest certain amount of money ones, like those, I put so much more effort in than ever before.

1:15:07Those are some of our most recent money targeted ones. I have spent hours on these. Like you have no idea. Like me and my audio engineer have perfected these like so intensely because this is serious business. Like this is transforming people's income. Like this is something that if people can really emotionally connect with this activation, like that's life-changing for them. So I wanted to make sure that the, every aspect of these targeted visualizations were so, so, so perfect. And, um, so I'm obsessed with those. And the way that I use the app is I kind of hyper fixate on like two or three at a time.

1:15:47Um, another one that I'm obsessed with is embody magnetic manifestation energy. It's like an anytime one. I listen while I'm walking, while I'm cooking, while I'm getting ready. I just kind of always have it on. That one shifts my state very quickly. Also become your magnetic future self is like a classic walking activation. And any of like the future self ones, we have very niche content on the app too, for like before going into a big meeting at work or like before feel confident before going on a first date, that kind of stuff. But like, for me, I like the general manifestation stuff because whatever I'm trying to connect to in that moment, I can just connect quite easily.
