Saylor Cooper:life, they love filled with success and joy because that's
Saylor Cooper:what we want to do live a life in bliss. So the audience,
Saylor Cooper:successful businesswoman. So, her bio, despite appearing to
Saylor Cooper:have it all together, Susan Cruise was a hot mess. He was
Saylor Cooper:tired all the time, which led to the creation of her energy boost
Saylor Cooper:blueprint. She is a sought after wellness speaker, the host of a
Saylor Cooper:radiant soul sisters podcast, founder of the radiant soul
Saylor Cooper:sisters community, a yoga teacher, and a trusted ce o so
Saylor Cooper:she's gonna tell us more about her journey on a couple of our
Saylor Cooper:site. Welcome, Susan. Glad to have you here. So
Susan Crews:oh my goodness, Saylor. Thank you. Thank you
Susan Crews:guys both for having me here today. I am excited to meet you
Susan Crews:all and I am a padaPalooza newbie. So I feel really
Susan Crews:honoured to start my first episode talking with someone
Susan Crews:who's been here for a while.
Saylor Cooper:Awesome. Yes. Yeah. Here's your brand new and
Saylor Cooper:what do you think of it so far?
Susan Crews:Oh, my gosh, padaPalooza is awesome. I have
Susan Crews:taken several pages of great notes. But I've also met other
Susan Crews:great podcasters host and guest awesome. Yeah.
Saylor Cooper:Yeah, wonder Yeah, cuz here's my third one.
Saylor Cooper:First time I came was in June, I was General attendee. I was
Saylor Cooper:blown away. And since then, I've come so far. So tell us you
Saylor Cooper:thought your life was all together? When it wasn't? What
Saylor Cooper:Yeah, what gave you a wake up call?
Susan Crews:Oh, my gosh. So the real wake up call. And I get
Susan Crews:goosebumps when you asked me that question. Saylor, the real
Susan Crews:wake up call was when it was Thanksgiving week, and I was
Susan Crews:preparing for Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving meal. My husband
Susan Crews:and I have a large family, we have four children married with
Susan Crews:children. And anyway, so I always set my table early. And
Susan Crews:the only thing under any bed in my house is the leaf to my
Susan Crews:dining room table. And so I went to get that out from under the
Susan Crews:bed. And when I got horizontal Saylor fell, sound asleep, sound
Susan Crews:asleep in a matter of minutes. And I knew then that I had to
Susan Crews:make a change, I had to figure something out. Because you know
Susan Crews:what, I, I study human design, I use human design as a tool in my
Susan Crews:coaching programmes and working with women and I was trying to
Susan Crews:live as a manifesting generator in that go, go go, go, go go go
Susan Crews:go go world, right. And I am not created to work like that. And
Susan Crews:to be like that. So that was really when I realised that I
Susan Crews:wasn't living who I was created to be. I also was raised by two
Susan Crews:type A workaholics. And I was raised to believe that the more
Susan Crews:you worked, the more money you would make, which is true.
Saylor Cooper:And so in certain instances, and you bring up a
Saylor Cooper:good point, because I just got finished writing a book. I'm
Saylor Cooper:gonna publish it, hopefully next month about all this, about
Saylor Cooper:stress and what you can do, and also money can't buy happiness,
Saylor Cooper:you have to balance.
Susan Crews:Absolutely, you have to balance it out. And you
Susan Crews:know, many of us can work very differently than being in that
Susan Crews:go, go go go go mentality, but have the same outcome where you
Susan Crews:can work with your body type or work with how you're created to
Susan Crews:be and money flows with ease and grace. Right? It doesn't have to
Susan Crews:be press press press harder to the point of exhaustion.
Susan Crews:Exactly. Exactly.
Saylor Cooper:And I'm trying to figure this out now, and I've
Saylor Cooper:enjoyed this journey. I've met so many great entrepreneurs and
Saylor Cooper:People you can, you can live like blissful, even though they
Saylor Cooper:have to work. It's all possible. And I'm sure you saw my bio. I
Saylor Cooper:just got really heavy into this. And I'm so excited for what's to
Saylor Cooper:come.
Susan Crews:Exactly. And you know, the thing is, I love to
Susan Crews:work. I absolutely love to work. I've had five different
Susan Crews:businesses. While we've raised four children. There was one
Susan Crews:summer we had four businesses, we had seven softball and
Susan Crews:baseball teams between the whole family we have a really funny
Susan Crews:story there. I used to keep a colour coded calendar on the
Susan Crews:back of our door. And my husband, I trained him to learn
Susan Crews:to look at the calendar. And if my colour and the Children's
Susan Crews:colours overlapped, he knew he had to pull in or whatever. And
Susan Crews:so this was one night, we had had a really busy day, I had
Susan Crews:gotten my two children where they were supposed to be, or
Susan Crews:three children where they were supposed to be. He was
Susan Crews:responsible for the youngest. So he goes to his softball game, we
Susan Crews:live in a small town, he goes to his softball game, my husband is
Susan Crews:getting ready to step up to the plate and bat, right. And one of
Susan Crews:our friends likenesses while we're there, Susan and the
Susan Crews:children tonight, and he says, Oh my gosh, the youngest is at
Susan Crews:home by himself, he was four, well, you could totally left the
Susan Crews:child at home. And this is another example early in a way
Susan Crews:back when when we both were in that work mode mentality that we
Susan Crews:had to totally live by colours on a calendar, right. And we
Susan Crews:were losing sight of what matters most. So I can go back
Susan Crews:through our life our time together and see these parallels
Susan Crews:where you need to remember what matters most and how you do
Susan Crews:things. Right. Yeah, family always matters most of the
Susan Crews:money. I also, you know, it's really funny, because I told
Susan Crews:you, I love to work. But I had to figure out how to work with
Susan Crews:my body so that I wasn't exhausted all the time. So that
Susan Crews:I do get eight hours of sleep at night because that's what I
Susan Crews:need, right? Or I do take an afternoon off and go hiking. And
Susan Crews:it totally clears my mind. And I may end up working while I'm on
Susan Crews:the hike, right? I might write a whole blog or a whole something
Susan Crews:in my head while I'm out there in nature. But the beautiful
Susan Crews:thing about it is releasing your exhaustion cycle, figuring out
Susan Crews:what makes you work, what makes you tick, how to work with how
Susan Crews:you were created, then you're able to create the money of your
Susan Crews:dreams. And the money is what makes a lot of magic happen.
Susan Crews:Because I believe the more money I make, the more good I can do
Susan Crews:in the world. Right?
Tyler Evans:Amen.
Saylor Cooper:Amen. Just figure out how to have that balance and
Saylor Cooper:do it in a positive way.
Susan Crews:Exactly.
Saylor Cooper:I see. No wonder why on Thanksgiving night. You
Saylor Cooper:just all of a sudden fell asleep. And that's what woke you
Saylor Cooper:up because you were not getting a hours of sleep during that
Saylor Cooper:time before I assume.
Susan Crews:Well, actually it was it was three days before
Susan Crews:Thanksgiving. So we hadn't even gotten to the Thanksgiving meal
Susan Crews:yet sailor. Right. I was working. I was preparing a meal.
Susan Crews:I was planning a festive event, right? Because Thanksgiving is a
Susan Crews:cool day to me. So you know, I've even gotten to that point
Susan Crews:yet. But there I was so tired that can you imagine just
Susan Crews:hitting the floor? And oh, yeah, and essentially just going down
Susan Crews:to sleep. You know? So yeah, so one of the things that I learned
Susan Crews:first, when I really started my transformation is I learned how
Susan Crews:to be still.
Saylor Cooper:Be still Yeah, and that's what and that's what
Saylor Cooper:we're doing now as well. I've learned that and I have some
Saylor Cooper:events, I'll tell you about when we when we get to the end but so
Saylor Cooper:now you're so what you have this is now your yoga instructor you
Saylor Cooper:you teach others to do the same, right?
Susan Crews:Right I am. So what I do is I work with with these
Susan Crews:clients that are really in overwhelm. And I have several
Susan Crews:different modalities that we use. We use yoga as a way to
Susan Crews:connect the mind the body and the soul, right? We learn we
Susan Crews:talk about meditation we learn about implementing stillness
Susan Crews:into the daily life. We also talk about foods what what kinds
Susan Crews:of foods that really can support your body and help you We've
Susan Crews:been creating the energy that you need. And we'll see
Susan Crews:meditation, yoga. And then one of my favourite things. And if
Susan Crews:you you don't have an interview this afternoon I'm going to be
Susan Crews:talking about it is breath work. I love the power of your breath.
Susan Crews:Because you know what, within each one of us, we know what we
Susan Crews:need and what we're supposed to be doing. We know the next best
Susan Crews:step, when you can be still calm the monkey mind. A lot of people
Susan Crews:say when you're still you don't think about anything that never
Susan Crews:happens. You always have a thought come through your head,
Susan Crews:right. But what you can say is okay, I'll deal with that later.
Susan Crews:Right now. Be still they still.
Tyler Evans:Amen.
Saylor Cooper:Amen.
Susan Crews:Yeah. And that helps you also be a better
Susan Crews:communicator, because you're able to be still and listen,
Susan Crews:when the other person is talking.
Saylor Cooper:Exactly. And now, have you worked? I mean,
Saylor Cooper:clearly, you were raised by parents who are high, strung. I
Saylor Cooper:mean, I don't know, you're determined. But have you? Have
Saylor Cooper:you tried to work with high strung people who are going
Saylor Cooper:through the stuff that, but they're in denial, they don't
Saylor Cooper:want to accept that something's wrong? Because in other words,
Saylor Cooper:they think something is okay. When you know, it's not have
Saylor Cooper:you? Have you experienced that?
Susan Crews:Well, typically, yes, because I am, I am working
Susan Crews:with these women who typically are six or seven figure earners
Susan Crews:as an entrepreneur, or they're in that C suite. And they have
Susan Crews:had something happen as a wake up call. It could be the
Susan Crews:illness, or it could be aches and pains in the body. Or it
Susan Crews:could be just that feeling of overwhelm. You know, like, I
Susan Crews:look, someone, I don't do it anymore. I used to look at your
Susan Crews:calendar on Sunday night and go, Holy cow. I've got all this
Susan Crews:stuff on the calendar. I don't even have time to read 10 pages
Susan Crews:in a book, or to go outside and go for a walk by myself. Right.
Susan Crews:And they realise that they got to make a change, because
Susan Crews:there's more to life, then the Go Go mentality.
Tyler Evans:Yeah,
Saylor Cooper:exactly. And that's what I'm trying to do
Saylor Cooper:right now, as I said, and so, yeah, Susan, you're just doing
Saylor Cooper:great work. And you're just thank you. Wonderful. It's
Saylor Cooper:wonderful. And so what are your future goals?
Saylor Cooper:Ah, my future goals really are just to continue to impact
Saylor Cooper:women, and to help women understand that we can have it
Saylor Cooper:all. But we don't have to do it in the masculine way, that the
Saylor Cooper:divine we can find a beautiful balance between the divine
Saylor Cooper:feminine and the masculine.
Tyler Evans:Yeah, Amen.
Susan Crews:It's not talking about man and woman it's just
Susan Crews:talking about there are there are divine feminine things that
Susan Crews:happen in life in their masculine things that happen in
Susan Crews:life. And when you blend the two, and have the balance, then
Susan Crews:you get to have it all. And we can be successful business women
Susan Crews:and great wives and great daughters and great moms, we can
Susan Crews:do it. But the way to do it when we can also honour our own
Susan Crews:bodies, is the key. And so I continue to impact and inspire
Susan Crews:women through my one to one programme, my group programmes
Susan Crews:that summer, virtual summer live, as well as through
Susan Crews:podcasting and just really talking with amazing people who
Susan Crews:are doing the same thing like you sailor.
Saylor Cooper:And in fact, I just put something in the chat.
Saylor Cooper:My future goals we have we have something big happening, right.
Saylor Cooper:Tyler the next in the next month. I'm including this as
Saylor Cooper:part of a free gift, but I put it in the chat now so you can
Saylor Cooper:have it. We have the first lift your spirit party on May 5 When
Saylor Cooper:we're all gonna come together on Zoom In just talk hang out, have
Saylor Cooper:fun, low key, we just got show tips to lift our spirits.
Tyler Evans:That's right.
Saylor Cooper:But that's not all.
Susan Crews:We know that sounds like we're a perfect match right
Susan Crews:there. And I can't wait to see you. I can't wait to check my
Susan Crews:schedule for May 5 and make sure I can get that on my calendar
Susan Crews:because I do believe that we can lift each other's spirits and
Susan Crews:the more we lift other people up, the more we rise to right
Saylor Cooper:Oh, yes, no, oh, yes
Saylor Cooper:can people people to be long ago, I agree with you, it's not
Saylor Cooper:good.I won't mention specifics, but I've had, I've seen like,
Saylor Cooper:couple of family and friends do this. And the way it affects
Saylor Cooper:them, it's not good. Stress is not good. Chronic stress is not
Saylor Cooper:good. Anger is not good. It affects, you know, it now it
Saylor Cooper:doesn't affect them, it affects our family and friends as well.
Saylor Cooper:And so you have to have that balance, and what you're doing,
Saylor Cooper:Susan, I applaud you so much. Thank you,
Saylor Cooper:Yeah.
Susan Crews:thank you so much, you know,it has made a
Susan Crews:difference in my life, it's made a difference in my
Susan Crews:relationships, as, like I said, a daughter, a wife, a mom, a
Susan Crews:friend, but it also has made a difference in my life. Because
Susan Crews:once I learned that I needed to love myself and love myself
Susan Crews:well, so I could love other betters, others better. And
Susan Crews:that's really the mission there, you know, teach others how to
Susan Crews:really genuinely love yourself, right? Because then all of us
Susan Crews:can get out there and do better work. Saylor, you know, there's
Susan Crews:And, you know, I think, in addition to learning
Susan Crews:another funny story that I have that I share with people, you
Susan Crews:know, when I was in junior high school, right? I had this
Susan Crews:friend, his name was James James would go into the bathroom, and
Susan Crews:he would come out and there were lockers, some girls lockers
Susan Crews:right around that area, and he'd walk out of there. And he say,
Susan Crews:oh, my gosh, I'm so good luck in. And, you know, at that point
Susan Crews:in time, he probably was a little on the cocky side, right?
Susan Crews:Or thinking a little more of himself. But at that point in
Susan Crews:time, I couldn't even look in the mirror and not see my flaws,
Susan Crews:right? The, whatever the flaws were. And that continued over
Susan Crews:into my 40s. Right? Not being able to look in the mirror and
Susan Crews:say, Susan, I love you or Susan, you're beautiful today. Right?
Susan Crews:how to love yourself, I think when you learn how to love
Susan Crews:yourself, wow, you're able to really put the things that are
Susan Crews:of high value, what matters most on your calendars first. And
Susan Crews:then you're able to get your work in there. And you find this
Susan Crews:harmony. And when you find the harmony, the beautiful balance,
Susan Crews:I kind of think of it like a music symphony, right? Where at
Susan Crews:one time, you might have to play one instrument harder. And it's
Susan Crews:not making pretty music, but it's what you have to do for a
Susan Crews:measure. But then you come back and you make this beautiful
Susan Crews:harmony sound, this harmonic sound. And that is when you were
Susan Crews:in ease and flow. And that is when you can create the life you
Susan Crews:love. Have your business, run your business, be on top of the
Susan Crews:world. But yet be in love with yourself and take care of
Susan Crews:yourself to love others better. And I think that's what it's all
Susan Crews:about.
Saylor Cooper:Yes. Always Love You.
Tyler Evans:There you go.
Saylor Cooper:There you go. That's good advice. I can't
Saylor Cooper:agree with you more, Susan. I know.
Susan Crews:We're limited on time are limited.
Saylor Cooper:So I'd say let's go ahead and close out. And but
Saylor Cooper:before we do, do you have any questions for us? Because if
Saylor Cooper:not, Tyler, I want you to close out on customary endings.
Tyler Evans:All right.
Susan Crews:Sounds great. i think I am good Guys, I look
Susan Crews:forward to seeing you on May 5.
Tyler Evans:All right.
Saylor Cooper:Awesome. And so Tyler, you take our customary
Saylor Cooper:ending, please.
Tyler Evans:All right. So what do you say to people who just
Tyler Evans:feel down who need some inspiration? To get some hope?
Saylor Cooper:And don't know where the turn?
Tyler Evans:Yeah, and don't know where to turn?
Susan Crews:Yeah. You know, the first thing that I would suggest
Susan Crews:is take a moment and just be still and ask yourself the
Susan Crews:question, Who am I created to be in this moment? And listen for
Susan Crews:your inner tuition, because it knows. And then the other thing
Susan Crews:I would suggest is to go look in that mirror and find one
Susan Crews:something you like about yourself that you see it could
Susan Crews:be the colour of your eyes. It could be a pair of earrings you
Susan Crews:have on that day. It could be the way your shoelaces are tied,
Susan Crews:but just find one saying if you've never been able to really
Susan Crews:look at yourself and say I love you.
Saylor Cooper:Exactly, that I can't agree with you more. It's
Saylor Cooper:great.
Tyler Evans:Yeah.
Susan Crews:Yep.
Tyler Evans:Well, it was. It was nice having you. It was nice
Tyler Evans:to have you today.
Susan Crews:Thank you, Matthew. It was great to be here guys.
Susan Crews:Keep up the great work that you're doing. Keep on giving
Susan Crews:people hope, because we all have something somewhere that has
Susan Crews:happened, that we need to figure out how to put our chin up and
Susan Crews:move forward.
Saylor Cooper:Yeah, it was. It was so great having you on here
Saylor Cooper:to your inspiration. Susan, let's live life and bliss
Saylor Cooper:together. And let's have a good day, shall we?
Tyler Evans:Yes, indeed.
Susan Crews:Yes we shall
Saylor Cooper:Alright, everybody's giving up for Susan
