Pam:
Okay. So for the past, I'd say year, 18 months, I was really hanging at base camp, really trying to figure things out, what it is that I really wanted to do. We had a major pivot as most people did when I'm 20 started homeschooling my granddaughter. And so that kinda really took me off the path of what I knew as a business, but a completely a plus personality, go go go go go business executive to really just slowing down. This past year, we've found something that is brand new in our lives. And what's interesting because here I am next month. I'm gonna be 67. Okay? So I'm not one of you spring chickens here.
Pam:
And so at 66 years old, here I am starting something brand new. I am learning things every single day. I have grown out of my comfort zone like I never have in my entire 6 day 6 decades of life, just really getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. That is really where I'm at. In just the last 5 months of being in a new industry in the blockchain technology, which is super scary to a lot of people because you don't understand it, I've embraced it. We are really doing phenomenal. We're going to change the world with it. I have a new passion and excitement in my voice.
Pam:
I'm ready to climb the mountain, Melissa, and I am ready to make some major changes. I already have made some major changes over the last several months. We are we're just blown up. It's my growth and, you know, just doing the do and listening to all of the ease and flow. And it's not about hustling to the top. It's about enjoying the journey as you're going through and realizing that you just meet everybody at their own timing and stuff like that. So I'm climbing the mountain, and I'm looking to have people climb the mountain with me. And if they don't, that's okay.
Melissa Henault:
I love this. And it's so true. Whether you're at a base camp year or climbing Mount Everest, the thing to anticipate, when we're climbing is that we have to acclimate as we climb. Right? It doesn't come without resistance. As we're chasing those goals and we're chasing those dreams, many times we have to evolve, and so I'll use the analogy of the mountain, like, we have to physically evolve in order to ascend. Some of you've had a tougher year where you haven't really received what you've called in, And I would encourage you to not think of it as failure, but actually falling forward to get the wind underneath your wings. We have to actually evolve to have the capacity to hold what we're actually calling in. Many times we're calling in this next level and ascension to the next mountain, but we don't realize we actually have to climb down across left, right, over the river and through the woods and through the wind and hurt to to get to the next level.
Melissa Henault:
Right? And so sometimes when we feel like we're not hitting our goals, instead of feeling like failure, we should take the lens of growth that we're not actually falling, we're actually growing so that we can ultimately hold what we're calling in. We don't get to the top of Mount Everest by hitting a button and flying up there easily. I would argue it takes more effort to fucking climb and get up there than it does to slide down the backside of the mountain. Right? So if you do feel like you're in the thick of it, very much so, you're probably just on the edge of your climb. You're just growing.
