Bonus: Greatest Act of Rebellion
What if reclaiming joy, kindness, and freedom is the ultimate act of rebellion? Reflecting on the emotional aftermath of a disheartening political loss, we share personal stories of hope, disappointment, and the universal feeling of inadequacy, especially for women grappling with societal pressures. Our candid conversations with international friends remind us of the shared empathy and warmth that transcend borders. Inspired by a funny meme about dogs growing grumpier with age, we explore how women can reclaim their joy and authenticity as a form of powerful resistance. By choosing to embrace our true selves unapologetically, we stand as a beacon of light and kindness in a world often darkened by fear.
As we rally entrepreneurs and business owners to stand firm in their power, the message is clear: choose love, joy, and freedom as your guiding principles. In the face of societal challenges, financial success can be wielded as a tool for meaningful change, countering hate and fear with positivity and strength. We discuss how standing in solidarity with those who feel grief and loss can help us elevate our spirits and unite as rebels to live authentically and powerfully. The journey to achieving the lives we desire begins with choosing to be the light in the darkness, standing as a testament to joy and kindness in an often divided world.

00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:01.405
I needed to process this.
00:00:01.405 --> 00:00:06.592
This is why it's coming out two days after the election.
00:00:06.592 --> 00:00:18.614
It was a devastating loss and I just want to start off by saying I really wanted Harris and Walz to lead.
00:00:18.614 --> 00:00:21.227
I was hopeful.
00:00:21.227 --> 00:00:30.564
I was excited to see a woman president and I was hopeful, I was excited to see a woman president.
00:00:30.564 --> 00:00:53.006
And for any of the ladies that are listening right now, I'm sure you can relate to the fact that all of my life I've been told I'm either too much or not enough, that I need to change, that I need to fit into a mold, I'm too bossy or I'm too timid.
00:00:53.006 --> 00:01:09.278
I'm never the right thing, and I know that you have been there too because none of us have ever been told that we're enough, because none of us have ever been told that we're enough.
00:01:09.278 --> 00:01:14.579
There's always something that we need to change about us.
00:01:14.579 --> 00:01:24.215
And the idea of having a woman president and just the world well, the US validating, I think, honestly, let's go back a second on that.
00:01:24.215 --> 00:01:28.719
Validating, I think, honestly, let's go back a second on that.
00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:36.162
Yesterday, I had calls with one American and six Europeans.
00:01:36.162 --> 00:01:39.225
It just happened to work out that way.
00:01:39.225 --> 00:01:45.793
They were already scheduled and the American was someone I would never end up working with.
00:01:45.793 --> 00:01:48.597
We just did not vibe.
00:01:48.597 --> 00:01:53.507
They were so excited about the results Not me, not me.
00:01:53.507 --> 00:02:10.501
And then, right after, I had a palate cleanser of a conversation from a woman in Spain, and she just had such a beautiful soul and she took the time to just let me sit in my sadness.
00:02:10.501 --> 00:02:21.225
And then, oh, an hour later, I was speaking to a community of European business owners and they felt the same way.
00:02:21.225 --> 00:02:30.587
They just these were men too, just for the record they were really upset about the results too.
00:02:30.587 --> 00:02:55.389
It's just funny, in a sad way, that the interactions I had the day after the election the Europeans that I interacted with actually also a Canadian person too they were the warmest and they were the most delightful, and I just I don't understand it.
00:02:55.389 --> 00:03:08.355
I hoped that after the election, that our country would show that love can win, but it didn't.
00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:41.175
Here's my call to action for all of us and here's my thought what if the greatest act of rebellion is being the light in the room, is being the love that counters the hate, is choosing joy, is choosing freedom over anything else?
00:03:41.175 --> 00:03:53.069
This is going to sound ridiculous, but this idea of the greatest act of rebellion is choosing joy came from a meme.
00:03:53.069 --> 00:04:04.462
It was like the scientific study that was released and it said that dogs get grumpier as they get older, just like people.
00:04:04.462 --> 00:04:12.507
And I was like that's really sad that as we get older, we lose our joy.
00:04:12.507 --> 00:04:23.182
What if the greatest joy, what rebellion we could have, is choosing joy, choosing kindness?
00:04:23.182 --> 00:04:31.642
What if the best thing that we could do right now is choose to be little revels?
00:04:31.642 --> 00:04:53.841
All of the people who have said you're too little or you're not enough can all go to hell, because we can choose to be the rebellion and stand up and counter the hate, counter the victim mentality.
00:04:53.841 --> 00:04:59.454
Choose kindness over hate.
00:04:59.454 --> 00:05:05.105
Be the light in the darkness, be the light that cancels out the darkness.
00:05:05.105 --> 00:05:11.651
What if we chose that act of rebellion, as opposed to rebellions like January 6th or fake bomb threats?
00:05:11.651 --> 00:05:14.673
We could do things different.
00:05:14.673 --> 00:05:28.973
What if we stood up in masses and we chose to be joyful and kind and free and counteract all of these people who are choosing hate and fear?
00:05:34.661 --> 00:05:47.110
I saw a quote the other day that said in a world where your free will is being taken away, the greatest act of rebellion is to be free.
00:05:47.110 --> 00:06:07.711
What if we chose to be the freest versions of ourselves to unapologetically be us us, our weird little selves.
00:06:07.711 --> 00:06:26.300
Not try to hide behind a facade of what we think people need from us, but be our true selves, be completely free in who we choose to be and not apologize for it and this is going to hit home with some of the women, because we apologize a lot we do.
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:45.141
We think that any time that we aren't able to accommodate someone, that it deserves an apology but it doesn't, you can just say no and that's a full sentence.
00:06:45.141 --> 00:06:49.579
You can choose freedom.
00:06:49.579 --> 00:07:12.471
You can be as free as you want to be and make choices that are meant for you and not anybody else you and not anybody else.
00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:24.565
I think that part of what we need in order to be this rebellion that chooses joy, that chooses freedom, that chooses love over hate, is we have to stand in our power.
00:07:24.565 --> 00:07:41.958
So I know a lot of you own businesses and unfortunately, as we know from this election and just life in general, money equals power in the US.
00:07:41.958 --> 00:07:48.315
So let's work on our businesses in 2025.
00:07:48.315 --> 00:08:03.218
Let's take that power back and grow to levels that we're able to make a difference, because we can have power and joy and light and love.
00:08:03.218 --> 00:08:09.002
They have power and hate and fear-mongering.
00:08:09.002 --> 00:08:11.706
We can do it too.
00:08:11.706 --> 00:08:13.766
We can be the opposition.
00:08:17.290 --> 00:08:18.613
Are you ready to stand with me?
00:08:18.613 --> 00:08:21.923
Do you want to be a rebel with me?
00:08:21.923 --> 00:08:26.377
Let's be rebels together.
00:08:26.377 --> 00:08:28.735
Let's choose love.
00:08:28.735 --> 00:08:31.499
Let's choose joy, freedom.
00:08:31.499 --> 00:08:34.076
Let's take our power back.
00:08:34.076 --> 00:08:51.018
Let's own ourselves as they try and strip away our freedoms, our ability to make decisions about ourselves.
00:08:51.018 --> 00:08:55.475
We need to take that back.
00:08:55.475 --> 00:08:59.664
We need to be our freest versions of ourselves.
00:08:59.664 --> 00:09:12.634
We need to set our vibrations to a higher level so we can win, so we can live the lives that we want.
00:09:12.634 --> 00:09:37.756
I just want to take a moment, before we wrap up, to acknowledge you and give you some warmth and joy, in that you're not alone.
00:09:37.756 --> 00:09:43.620
Half of America is grieving with you.
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:54.038
I love you, I'm with you.
00:09:54.038 --> 00:10:00.024
We're in this together.
00:10:00.024 --> 00:10:02.128
Now let's stand up and be rebels together.
00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:01.405
00:00:01.405 --> 00:00:06.592
00:00:06.592 --> 00:00:18.614
