00:00:10.648 --> 00:00:13.371
hello everyone.

00:00:13.371 --> 00:00:16.734
Yes, I am currently in the bathtub.

00:00:16.734 --> 00:00:18.295
Can you believe it?

00:00:18.295 --> 00:00:22.702
I'm doing my podcast show from the bathtub.

00:00:22.702 --> 00:00:25.288
Bathtub can't even talk this morning.

00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:32.643
That's what happens when you have, yesterday, a four leg day.

00:00:32.643 --> 00:00:33.984
Now what does that mean?

00:00:33.984 --> 00:00:36.466
Four leg day?

00:00:36.466 --> 00:00:40.649
That basically means I flew my ass, ass off.

00:00:40.649 --> 00:00:54.563
Yesterday, yep, started in Atlanta, went from Atlanta to Panama City, panama City, back to Atlanta.

00:00:54.563 --> 00:00:56.305
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:00:56.305 --> 00:00:57.207
Whoa.

00:00:57.207 --> 00:01:00.573
Oh my gosh, I didn't start in Atlanta.

00:01:00.573 --> 00:01:03.345
This is how crazy it is after a four leg day.

00:01:03.345 --> 00:01:05.850
No, oh my gosh.

00:01:05.850 --> 00:01:09.743
Okay, let me back this up, back, back, back it up, back it up.

00:01:09.743 --> 00:01:10.805
Okay.

00:01:10.805 --> 00:01:13.829
So I started in Melbourne, florida.

00:01:13.829 --> 00:01:19.024
I think I arrived somewhere.

00:01:19.024 --> 00:01:20.447
I don't know it was late.

00:01:20.528 --> 00:01:44.171
It was probably around midnight or so by the time we got to Melbourne Florida, got to the hotel, had a great night's sleep and then got up early and I met with a childhood friend and we had breakfast together and, um, we were like besties when we were about, I think, about 10 years old.

00:01:44.171 --> 00:01:55.153
So we have been through a lot together and it was so great to reconnect with her and that's that's so much fun.

00:01:55.153 --> 00:02:01.566
When you're able to fly in and spend time with friends, families, loved ones.

00:02:01.566 --> 00:02:03.028
That's such a great perk.

00:02:03.028 --> 00:02:27.776
And it was a beautiful hot day and I woke up feeling a little tired, actually woke up about eight in the morning and then got ready and met her for breakfast and it was so fun to connect with an old friend and, just you know, hear about her kids and her, just her life and what's happening.

00:02:27.776 --> 00:02:31.670
It had been a couple years since we had been together.

00:02:31.670 --> 00:03:11.026
The last time we were together was in Helen Georgia and oh my gosh, if you've never been to Helen Georgia, you've got to make a trip to Helen Georgia because it's like kind of like a Bavarian town and she rented a big, like I don't want to say cottage, but, um, just a big, beautiful home right on the water and her family was there and she invited me and my son there and her family was there and she invited me and my son there and we met and we went inner tubing on the river and it's just so fun.

00:03:11.026 --> 00:03:16.100
You just on hot days can drift around and have a really great time.

00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:22.550
And, gosh, we played games and we sat by the fire and we just relaxed.

00:03:22.550 --> 00:03:26.836
So if you ever get a chance, definitely go to Helen Georgia.

00:03:26.836 --> 00:03:33.532
So back to my visit, so yeah, started in Melbourne, had a really great visit.

00:03:33.532 --> 00:03:36.722
Then I met with my crew in the afternoon.

00:03:36.722 --> 00:03:41.366
I think we had a report time around one-ish, if I remember right.

00:03:41.366 --> 00:04:00.342
You know, after after a while it kind of becomes a blur, but yeah, so then, um, then we went to Atlanta and then Atlanta, um, lent it to gosh Panama City, then Panama City back to Atlanta and then Atlanta too.

00:04:00.423 --> 00:04:03.707
I'm currently in Asheville, north Carolina.

00:04:03.707 --> 00:04:06.171
I love this little city.

00:04:06.171 --> 00:04:08.215
It is adorable.

00:04:08.215 --> 00:04:12.888
It's really known for like its arts and it's great food.

00:04:12.888 --> 00:04:16.052
And the Biltmore house is here.

00:04:16.052 --> 00:04:23.709
And the Biltmore house, if you've never been to it, it is absolutely amazing.

00:04:23.709 --> 00:04:27.716
Huge, gorgeous, exquisite mansion.

00:04:27.716 --> 00:04:32.992
And especially at Christmas time, you guys have got to go.

00:04:32.992 --> 00:04:35.146
It is so spectacular.

00:04:35.146 --> 00:04:45.031
They decorate almost every room, everywhere you look, with the beauty of like an old-fashioned, like Victorian Christmas.

00:04:45.031 --> 00:04:46.773
I just absolutely love it.

00:04:46.773 --> 00:04:48.836
It's so, so, so beautiful.

00:04:55.490 --> 00:04:57.278
But today, you guys, I was lazy.

00:04:57.278 --> 00:05:05.862
I had all these aspirations of getting up early and going to a quaint little coffee shop or going for a walk in the town, and then I'm like, no, don't quite feel like that.

00:05:05.862 --> 00:05:12.877
Then I was like, well, okay, I'll sleep a little bit and then I'll go to the gym get my workout.

00:05:12.877 --> 00:05:16.295
Then I remembered hey, it's Sunday.

00:05:16.295 --> 00:05:19.740
On Sunday I don't work out.

00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:22.595
It's the only day that I do not work out.

00:05:22.595 --> 00:05:24.872
I give myself and my body rest.

00:05:24.872 --> 00:05:31.338
You know, when you're traveling, I think that that is so important to rest.

00:05:31.338 --> 00:05:33.427
You've got to get your rest.

00:05:33.427 --> 00:05:37.314
If I don't get my rest, that's when I start getting run down.

00:05:37.314 --> 00:05:44.052
I start getting I don't want to say cranky, but maybe not my peppy, happy, normal self.

00:05:44.052 --> 00:05:49.427
So I have to listen to my body and I do encourage you guys to listen to your body.

00:05:49.427 --> 00:05:53.958
When you're tired, take a rest, definitely take a rest.

00:05:55.026 --> 00:06:01.956
So today is what we call go home day and I am ready to go home.

00:06:01.956 --> 00:06:20.329
I'll be home tonight around 11 pm and I live in Marietta, georgia, with a girlfriend and this is her family horse farm and I believe that the horse farm is 50 years old.

00:06:20.329 --> 00:06:29.812
And you guys, on another podcast I will share absolutely how incredibly amazing this horse farm is.

00:06:29.812 --> 00:06:57.757
It is just so peaceful, so beautiful, so relaxing, and I'll share more details when I'm home, just because I want to really paint a picture so you can really see it in your mind as to what it's like, and I love just hearing the horses and the cats are out playing, and it's just a really great visual that I really want to share with you.

00:06:58.745 --> 00:07:23.769
So, yeah, so I'm currently, like I said, hanging out in the bathtub and you know, last night we had a little bit of a sit in between planes, we were with the same pilots for three legs and then we got off the plane and we were waiting for our next plane to arrive and we only had about an hour of downtime in the Atlanta airport.

00:07:23.769 --> 00:07:31.372
So it's a time to like use the restroom, like catch something to eat or just sit and kind of relax.

00:07:31.372 --> 00:07:43.680
So I decided to play on my phone a little bit and I love and I'm totally I've realized I'm totally addicted to learning.

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.810
I love learning and I'm excited by the challenge of it.

00:07:49.810 --> 00:08:04.894
And one of the things that I've really wanted to learn how to do because I see people doing it all the time is on TikTok, where you do a little video and then you attach a product to the video and then you sell it.

00:08:04.894 --> 00:08:05.838
Well, I've never known.

00:08:05.838 --> 00:08:09.134
It looks so easy, right, it just looks so easy.

00:08:09.134 --> 00:08:21.228
But so I was just sitting there kind of playing around with it and I actually should have been doing some other stuff just sitting there kind of playing around with it, and I actually should have been doing some other stuff, but it was kind of a nice relaxer for my brain, so yeah.

00:08:21.307 --> 00:08:32.133
So I started, uh, messing around with the TikTok program and TikTok shop and, you guys, I actually got a product that cute little.

00:08:32.133 --> 00:08:43.288
I saw this lady on the, or this girl on the plane and she was wearing the most adorable little like jumper dress, like a cotton jumper dress, and I said, hey, is that the dress from TikTok?

00:08:43.288 --> 00:08:44.692
And she's like yeah.

00:08:44.692 --> 00:08:47.745
And I was like, oh, my gosh, that is so cute.

00:08:47.745 --> 00:09:08.206
So I decided to make that my challenge and so I was able to create a video using AI technology from just the link, you guys, of the product and then attach the product to the AI video and post it on my TikTok.

00:09:08.206 --> 00:09:10.188
That is so freaking cool.

00:09:10.188 --> 00:09:12.111
I didn't even know I could do that.

00:09:12.111 --> 00:09:19.191
And there happened to be a passenger that was waiting for her flight sitting next to me and I said, hey, do you have TikTok?

00:09:19.191 --> 00:09:20.993
And she's like, yeah, I got TikTok.

00:09:20.993 --> 00:09:25.312
And I said, would you do me a favor, can you go on here?

00:09:25.312 --> 00:09:30.467
And then I gave her my link and then can you see if you can find it.

00:09:30.467 --> 00:09:31.369
Can you see if you can find it?

00:09:31.389 --> 00:09:55.763
And my profile, you guys, on TikTok is 750living, 750living, l-i-v-i-n-g, and the reason why I call it 750living is because my coach, which I have, an amazing coach, his name is Coach CJ and his wife we call her Honey Badger because she is tenacious.

00:09:55.763 --> 00:10:05.820
I mean, she just is a honey badger, but anyways, oh my God, I'm totally just like losing it here.

00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:08.106
Okay, back to my story, back to my story, back to my story.

00:10:08.106 --> 00:10:10.048
So 750 Living.

00:10:10.048 --> 00:10:12.210
So my coach says to me so 750 living.

00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:18.615
So my coach says to me Monica, if you were a credit score, what score do you feel that you are?

00:10:18.615 --> 00:10:24.440
And I was like coach, I don't know, you know, maybe like a 520.

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.261
And he's like what?

00:10:26.261 --> 00:10:35.243
Never, ever, ever refer to yourself as a 520 credit score, ever, ever, ever, ever again, okay.

00:10:35.243 --> 00:10:37.952
And I was like what do you mean?

00:10:37.952 --> 00:10:45.119
And he's like forevermore you are at least a 720 credit score.

00:10:45.119 --> 00:10:49.895
And I was like, okay, forevermore I am a 720.

00:10:49.895 --> 00:11:02.596
You act like you're a 720 credit score, you walk like you're a 720 credit score and you take pride, act as if you are already a 720.

00:11:02.596 --> 00:11:04.230
Even if you feel like a 520.

00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:05.394
No, no, no, no, no.

00:11:06.225 --> 00:11:17.758
So, my listeners, whatever credit score you are mentally giving yourself, if it's below a 7, we're going to up it to a 750.

00:11:17.758 --> 00:11:19.350
We got some work to do.

00:11:19.350 --> 00:11:21.350
You got to wake up, peeps.

00:11:21.350 --> 00:11:35.631
You got to wake up and feel and act as if you're already a 750 credit score, like, how powerful do you feel as a 750 credit score you could have?

00:11:35.631 --> 00:11:39.558
Hey, you could have whatever you want.

00:11:39.558 --> 00:11:42.283
Hey, you can have whatever you want.

00:11:42.283 --> 00:11:46.038
So that's my platform of 750living.

00:11:46.038 --> 00:11:49.313
That is my handle on Instagram, that's my handle on TikTok.

00:11:50.205 --> 00:11:59.230
Now, the only reason why I didn't make my show called 750living is I felt like there needed to be an introduction to it, as people are like what the heck is a 750living?

00:11:59.230 --> 00:11:59.245
So?

00:11:59.245 --> 00:12:01.649
And I wanted this podcast show to be an introduction to it, as people are like what the heck is a 750 living?

00:12:01.649 --> 00:12:02.765
So?

00:12:02.765 --> 00:12:28.519
And I wanted this podcast show to be real, to be raw, to share with you, to share with you what it's like to be a fly girl, to inspire you to live life to the fullest and have these amazing, amazing experiences and get out there and really live and to feel as if you are that 750 credit card baby.

00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:29.450
That's you.

00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:30.879
You are the 750.

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.077
750, 750.

00:12:34.077 --> 00:12:36.058
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

00:12:37.086 --> 00:12:39.053
Anyways, so back to my story.

00:12:39.053 --> 00:12:42.695
So I got the TikTok working, oh my gosh.

00:12:42.695 --> 00:12:55.714
Now I may not get any sales from that because it was my first time run, but I figured it out and a lot of times it's just putting yourself out there, right, even if, as my coach says, just do it dirty.

00:12:55.714 --> 00:13:08.522
Do it dirty, like maybe you don't know all that you're supposed to do, but hey, you tried and you did it and you're acting as if 750, 750 baby.

00:13:08.522 --> 00:13:12.315
So that's my um, my little piece of advice for you.

00:13:12.315 --> 00:13:17.333
My bath water starting to get cold, I'm going to add some more heat to it.

00:13:17.565 --> 00:13:30.995
And then I'm going to meditate today and there's a really, really, really awesome meditation that I will put in the show notes by a guy that is a famous psychic.

00:13:30.995 --> 00:13:32.538
His name is Gary, I think it.

00:13:32.538 --> 00:13:39.371
I don't know if you say it's Spivey, I think it's Gary, spivey is how you say it S-P-I-V-E-Y.

00:13:39.371 --> 00:13:45.918
And here's a really beautiful meditation, excuse me that.

00:13:45.918 --> 00:13:54.293
It really sets the tone of the day and brings light and love and God to you.

00:13:54.293 --> 00:13:56.837
And yes, I do believe in God.

00:13:56.837 --> 00:13:59.889
I don't know what all of you believe in.

00:13:59.889 --> 00:14:09.296
But, whatever your higher power is, connect to your higher power that helps you to stand in your 750 living.

00:14:09.296 --> 00:14:18.318
So, yeah, you guys, today is another oh, probably about 10-hour day.

00:14:19.245 --> 00:14:20.932
I'm working with an amazing crew.

00:14:20.932 --> 00:14:22.909
They're so nice and so fun.

00:14:22.909 --> 00:14:34.307
And one of the one of the gals, um, she's young and she's just so full of life and and just her spirit is just so great.

00:14:34.307 --> 00:14:36.451
I love it, I absolutely love it.

00:14:36.451 --> 00:14:39.778
And, uh, I've been sharing words of wisdom.

00:14:39.778 --> 00:14:56.552
Probably she doesn't want to hear, but I don't know, I'm sharing anyways and I say to her you know just some things that I wanted to share to my younger self if I could have, and I'll share those with you another time.

00:14:56.552 --> 00:14:58.991
So, all right, you guys.

00:14:58.991 --> 00:15:01.393
Well, it's almost time to take off.

00:15:01.393 --> 00:15:15.874
I hope you have a beautiful, beautiful, connective, aware, loving day and make sure and follow me, share my podcast with your friends.

00:15:15.874 --> 00:15:40.466
Soon I'll get like the fancy intro music and the outro, but this is me just doing it dirty, getting my voice out there, getting my thoughts out there and, um, hopefully, inspiring you, inspiring you to do that what makes you happy, whatever that is.

00:15:40.466 --> 00:15:45.475
You guys, live a beautiful day today and we'll talk to you soon.
