Ever felt like you're trapped in a cycle of comfort that's slowly stifling your growth? Join me, as I channel the spirit of David Goggins to break down barriers and redefine our personal limits, especially as we tackle the rewarding challenge of full-time parenting. This episode isn't just about getting through another day with the kids; it's a deep dive into the 'messy middle' where we're caught between who we were and who we're striving to become. It's here that we find the courage to push beyond the familiar for the sake of our mental health and personal fulfillment, all while juggling family dinners and gymnastics classes.
My journey from law enforcement to real estate, despite the uncertainties, is a testament to trusting one's intuition and recognizing the universe's nudges towards the right path. This episode is about those leaps of faith that land us in new territories, both literally and figuratively. Hear how moving to a different state with no solid plan in place is less about recklessness and more about tapping into an inner wisdom that guides us toward success and a better environment for our families.

Speaker 1:
Hey guys, welcome back to Updated AF Collective, the podcast. I'm your host, megan Wirth. Today's episode is going to be more of a motivational Friday morning podcast episode to get you into the week and hopefully carry you all through next week. I mean school's almost out here for the kids in the States and I mean summer's about to be here and I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of like not looking forward to having to like parent full time again. I mean, it is what it is, okay. So today's episode, it kind of inspired me because I was listening to a motivational speech by David Goggins.
Speaker 1:
And if you don't know who David Goggins is, he is, uh, or he was, a Navy SEAL who has overcome a lot of diversity, has overcome a lot of challenges in his life and stuff like that. And he talks about his time in the military and how he's gone through all of this intense training against, you know, all of the elements and all of the odds. Like he beat the odds, like he couldn't swim, he considered himself like really dumb and all that fun stuff. Like if you ever listened to him speak, he's very motivational. But I have to remind myself that, like, even though he was a father and he was married and stuff like that. Like let's be real, we all don't get to live life like that. Right, we all have kids. We don't have time for that shit. We want to do things like that, we want to push ourselves and we want to expand ourselves and live out of our comfort zones. The way he did and the way he talks about it is like you know pretty much, saying that, like, if you're not living this way, like what are you doing? You're not living at all, and I take it with a grain of salt. It's one of those things. That's like I don't agree with everything that he says, but I agree with some of it Living out of your comfort zone and pushing yourself. And again, I am a primary parent, I am my daughter's only parent. So I have to remind myself like, yes, I want to do that, I want to live my life like that, I want to live out of my comfort zone and I want to push myself. But dinner's at six, my daughter has to be at school by seven and gymnastics is at 530. It's like I don't get to live my life like that. But when I do, I feel like my mental health just depends on pushing myself out of my comfort zone when I get the opportunity, and here is why Stay tuned. Thank you so much for returning back to the show and welcome back.
Speaker 1:

Welcome to the Updated AF Collective.
Speaker 1:
Okay, I know what you're thinking. Why would pushing myself to the brink of exhaustion for my goals, living outside of my comfort zone and trying to achieve all of those like gigantic goals that you have in your life, the ones that are required to make you stretch out of your comfort zone? Why is it good for your mental health. And this is what I've come up with, because I compare my life now, which I feel like. If you follow me on social media, I talk about the messy middle. I'm in my messy middle, where I don't really recognize the person from the past and I don't recognize the person in the future. I'm in the middle right now. So I feel like that's where my life is right now and all I know is that if I don't continue to keep moving forward, my mental health suffers from it. And here's what I have come up with Growing up.
Speaker 1:
I feel like I, you know, nobody told me that like I can do anything, I can be anything. I felt like I always was like kind of just trying to stay in my comfort zone, because that's what I was taught by friends and family. I've never seen really anybody in my family like go after something big. You know it's, it's so. I never had those role models. I wasn't seeing that and I always kept myself safe. I just assumed that's how life was supposed to be lived. I just assumed that's how life was supposed to be lived. Where I go to school, I do what I'm told. I do all the things that are just very routine, mundane, kept me stagnant, where I just have to do the bare minimum and I'm going to be happy. That was the dream I was taught was just do the bare minimum and you'll be fine, make enough money to pay your bills and you'll be fine, you'll be happy. And I realized like I wasn't happy.
Speaker 1:
There was so many things that I wanted to do, but everybody around me was trying to talk me out of it, as if it was like going to affect them in some way. If I, for example, joined the military or became a cop or wrote a book or started a podcast, like it was going to affect them. So they would always tell me, like that's so dumb, it's so dangerous, it's like it's just, it's not, it's not safe. I would hear that all the time Writing a book, like oh, everybody writes books, everybody has a podcast Like like you're not going to be good at it, you know, like it again, like it was, it made other people uncomfortable. When I talked about those things and it really did affect me a lot, I felt like because I wasn't living out what I came here on earth to do, living out what I came here on earth to do. And so when I learned that I just have to do it with with or without anybody's support.
Speaker 1:
I started to get a little happier when I first joined the military. I was 20, and that's considered late in the game, by the way, because when you go to bootcamp, most of these kids are going literally they're shipping out to bootcamp within the first two weeks after high school graduation. And I mean I didn't want to join the military right out of high school. I wanted to be in law enforcement. That was my ultimate dream and goal and I put myself through the police academy when I was I think it was 19, because I was really just going after that, without nobody's support, by the way, I put myself through the police academy.
Speaker 1:
I was working for a police department in Northern California, just um in their armory, and I thought that was like a good way to get my foot in the door. And after I realized that I needed a lot more life experience, I was like, well, what else can I do? I'm a very active person. Well, back then I wasn't too, too active, like I never really exercised. Okay, I never exercised, I never ran. I was super thin, like really, really thin, and I didn't know what to do. And I.
Speaker 1:
The first thing that came to me me as, like I can see myself joining the military Like this looks like a lot of fun, the training looks good, it looks challenging. And everybody at the police department that I was working for was like you're so dumb, you're going to join the Marine Corps. And what makes me sad, looking back, is like people would tell me they're like oh, we have bets that you're not going to make it through bootcamp and I learned that after the fact, by the way, um, I learned when I graduated bootcamp I went back to the department to say hi and to tell everybody how it was and this and that. And everybody kept telling me like, oh, yeah, we had bets that you weren't going to make it. You're too girly, you're really thin, you know I they thought I didn't have the mental capacity to handle the screaming and the yelling and the constant movement and stuff like that. And so when I went through all that, I felt like I leveled up.
Speaker 1:
That was the beginning of my journey into living out of my comfort zone and then realizing I have to do things with or without people's support. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. So it hurt my feelings Cause again like that sucks. You know that people didn't believe in me, but when have they ever seen me stretch myself or live out of my comfort zone? I went, I was going to school, I was working for the police department and like I really wasn't doing anything. I was so just bored with my life and it was really affecting my mental health. When you are so bored, you have no goals, no vision and you're just coasting through life. You're not happy and again, like I'm speaking with with what I was going through. This might not apply to you, I don't know, but I really wasn't happy.
Speaker 1:
I was actually depressed and I realized like when I was in the military and I was pushing myself and I was going through all these like really, really tough times, because being in the military, yeah, it has like its ups and downs and stuff like that, but it's really hard on your mental health. Um, it stretches you every single day out of your comfort zone because you have to like you're learning all this information so quickly and you're doing all these strenuous exercises, you're going to swim qual where you're jumping off these like super high dive thing planks into a pool and then you have to do, like, um, what else are you doing? You're doing the rifle range, you're you're throwing grenades, like you're you're training, you're constantly training. You're running up all these mountains with a 60 pound pack on and full uniform, with your rifle strapped to you, running up ammo up hills, like we're just constantly training.
Speaker 1:
And it pushed me out of my comfort zone and I, what I realized, is like every time I was forced out of my comfort zone, it was really, really stressful and it hurt and I sometimes I would like, you know, go back to my house and cry or whatever, like cause I just felt so stretched, so freaking stressed. But once I got over that and I got through it and I and I landed on the other side and I was fine, I was like wow, like I just did something so freaking hard that like I didn't die and it didn't break me hard, that like I didn't die and it didn't break me. I realized that like wow, I'm at a new level, I'm at a whole new level. I felt like I handled, you know, like life and a little stress, a little bit easier. It was like I think of it as like the, the Mario game you guys remember Nintendo and the level started off easy and then every new level it got harder and harder and harder, but you would learn something on each level to pass it, even if you had to go back and repeat the level. Like, eventually you got through that level and you and you, you got a little bit better at life and you handled stress better and you can handle. Like when things go wrong, you don't overreact, like you're like, oh my gosh, like I've been through this before or you know, it's like one of those things where it's like you're handling things better, like resilience, right. So every single time something pushed me out of my comfort zone, I felt like I was more resilient and it really did help my mental health. Because I felt like I was more resilient and it really did help my mental health, because I'm like, wow, I freaking did that.
Speaker 1:
And I use bootcamp as my baseline and I look back and everybody has a baseline. Everybody has a moment in their life where you can look back and see like, wow, I can't believe I freaking did that, cause that was hard and that was scary and I did it. And so for me it was bootcamp. And, more specifically, in bootcamp there's this obstacle course called the confidence course. It's called the confidence course for a reason, because it is very, very difficult to pass. We did the confidence course almost daily and every single time all 60 of us there were 60 girls in my platoon and bootcamp Every single day we did this I would I would notice we were getting. All of us would get a little bit better, or we would get over an obstacle that we couldn't get over last week but now all of a sudden we're getting over it. An obstacle that we couldn't get over last week but now all of a sudden we're getting over it. Like, when I tell you, this obstacle course is very, very long.
Speaker 1:
It's not made for people who have fear of heights. I had a fear of heights, um, but what really got me was climbing this rope and it goes high. You guys, if I had to guess I might be exaggerating, um and military girls listening, correct me if I'm wrong it's if I had to guess maybe six or seven stories, like if you're thinking of, like an apartment building or something like that, like six or seven of those um, really, really high. I have never been taught how to climb a rope and they don't teach you in bootcamp. I think that was. The whole point is like you're going to figure it out on your own and you have to figure things out on your own. Your drill instructors aren't teaching you. We can learn from each other.
Speaker 1:
I would watch the other girls do it and there's like some girls got it quickly, some girls didn't, but I feel like out of 60 girls, I was the last to learn it. It's like my brain wasn't comprehending what I need to be doing to climb this rope and I would get so, so frustrated and the drill instructors would just surround me and scream at me, berate me. It was, it was so bad, you guys like, and you can't cry. So you're sitting there with like six or seven drill instructors like screaming at you to get up the rope and I just fucking couldn't figure it out. And I would watch the other girls and I'm like, okay, like they do a little foot thing where they wrap the rope around their foot, excuse me and like they're inching their way up for whatever reason. My brain wasn't. And then one day, I think about six or seven weeks later, oh my gosh, it finally clicked. I did the little foot thing where I wrapped the rope around my foot and then all of a sudden, I was going up the rope and I got all the way to the top and I remember getting to the top and ringing the little bell and all the girls were like cheering for me. It was crazy and I'm pretty sure I was the last person.
Speaker 1:
You can't really advance through the obstacle course until you get through one of the obstacles. The drone instructors would get, like you know, like frustrated and be like just keep going, whatever, just skip the rope. Because after a while they realized like, wow, this girl really can't climb a fucking rope. But so sometimes they would let me skip the obstacle, but they always made me try first and then, after maybe 15, 20 minutes, they realized I'm not doing it and I'm like okay, keep going, keep going.
Speaker 1:
And when life gets really hard, I have to look back at that moment. That's my baseline for living out of my comfort zone. I look back when I'm so stressed out, on the verge of giving up, feeling so overwhelmed. Um, I look back and I'm like but I did that because that's something in my head that I never thought I'd be able to do Right, there's something in your life that you overcame, and it could be anything leaving a marriage or moving out on your own. It could be anything that you thought was so hard in it. In it stretched you out of your comfort zone, it caused you to completely change your the trajectory of your life in a whole different direction. But use that. When life gets hard today, think about the time where you couldn't do something and you overcame it. Like I said, going back to the Mario game, like every day is a new level and as long as you keep striving towards your goals or whatever you're trying to do, you want more for your life.
Speaker 1:
Think back about that moment and what I realized is that when I'm not stretching myself, when I'm stagnant or I feel stuck and I don't know which direction to go, I don't know how to, I don't know which decisions to make, right, because life's a bunch of decisions and sometimes it can get really confusing and overwhelming and stressful. And I have to like you have to keep pushing myself and if I stop, I noticed I get really overwhelmed and really depressed because I don't like now, now that I've like lived 20 something years completely just pushing myself going and like thriving in in everything that I've wanted to do, I noticed when I stop because I'm confused or I'm overwhelmed or whatever. I get really upset and I get stressed out and I get overwhelmed and I realized like this isn't good for my mental health. Like it's okay to take a break. It is very much okay. Or if you have a hard time making a decision, it's okay just to stop where you're at and again I learned this in bootcamp just stop where you're at and take a second, take a break.
Speaker 1:
Don't ask other people what you should be doing because they're not on your life path. They were born with a completely different blueprint. You're comparing apples to oranges. I don't really ask for advice. Sometimes I will parenting advice mostly, but career advice, goal advice, business advice, podcast advice. Like I'm not saying don't ask for suggestions, but when you really need to make a firm decision like buy a house, should I move across the country, should I, should I do this, should I change careers or whatever Like you need to stop for a second. And when I say a second, I mean however long it needs to be, because the answer is already with you and going within is going to help you make a better decision, a more intuitive decision, because those people around you are on a different life path. They don't have the same blueprint as you. They're. They're doing something very, very different. It doesn't even matter if you guys are in the same career field. Their life is so different. Everybody came to earth with a very different. It doesn't even matter if you guys are in the same career field. Their life is so different. Everybody came to earth with a very different plan and it is okay to think about it, journal on it, write about it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, how do, how do you? How do you make a decision based off your intuition? You ask, ask God, ask the universe, ask your spirit guides, like those are the things that you can do. You need to just stay, still verse. Ask your spirit guides, like those are the things that you can do. You need to just stay, still meditate, pray like journal. You can journal on it, you can, you can ask for guidance those ways. And it's going to come to you. Because if, if I was to ask everybody around me, should I quit my job in law enforcement, sell my house in San Diego, pick up me and my daughter and move to another state to get into real estate, not even having a real estate license or a place to live or anything like just going. I would have stayed in San Diego because everybody was trying to tell me no when they knew what I was trying to do.
Speaker 1:
Again, a lot of people don't understand because they're not on my life path and a lot of people try to talk me out of it. They're like you're a single mom, like what are you doing? This is your child's like future too. Like this is her safety and security. And I'm like I know, but I feel like I need to do this. It was so weird, but I'm so used to trusting myself. I'm so used to it because I've been doing this since I left for the military. I was just like I don't know why I'm doing this, but I know I have to. Something inside of me is telling me to do this and when I did it, I got my real estate license and my daughter's thriving in school and the right people came into my life to help me succeed. The right people came into my life and that's what you need to know is like when you are basing decisions off of your intuition. You're not going to fail. It is your blueprint.
Speaker 1:
Just because you don't have a physical game plan, just because you don't have a physical game Sorry, my phone is like going off, you guys Like it's starting to distract me. Just because you don't have the map, your life map is not hanging on your freaking wall framed, or you can't see it Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's there. It's like one of those little internal compasses, it's like a little compass Think of a little compass in your chest or your head or whatever. It's there and you can always. You can always ask for a direction, you can ask for signs.
Speaker 1:
I relied a lot on talking to my spirit guides and signs and I got the freaking science I remember again, like cause this stuff is scary, making a huge life decision. I'm not saying I didn't cry, I cried a lot and I was confused why am I doing this? Am I really making the right decision? Like why? Why am I doing that? I would, I would have panic attacks at night, but during the day I felt calm because you know, everything's worse at night. Right, our brains are overactive and we're we're thinking of all the worst case scenario, like everything is worse at nighttime for for whatever reason. So I would have like panic attacks at night and I would wake up in the middle of the night and I'm like I can't do this, like, oh my God, I can't do this, but it was too late. My house was already sold and the movers were coming in like a couple of weeks so but what I would do is I made sure one to check in with my spirit guides, and they answered the call every single time I needed reassurance.
Speaker 1:
I asked for signs. They gave me signs, like almost immediately. And, um, for example, there was this one time I was out on a walk with my daughter in the morning. We used to go on these walks Cause I lived in this community. I had a lot of was out on a walk with my daughter in the morning. We used to go on these walks because I lived in this community that had a lot of trails, so I'd throw her in the Bob's stroller and we would go for a walk. And there's nothing out there, it's all just trees and walking trails. But I remember walking and I was thinking I was like you know what I know? I asked you guys for a lot of signs, but I need a sign. Show me know.
Speaker 1:
I asked you guys for a lot of signs, but I need a sign like show me an owl right, cause it's morning time and I thought like maybe that'd be a little bit harder sign Cause there's not a lot of owls there. And I was like, show me an owl. It could be anything Right, and no kidding. I go down to tie my shoe and I stand back up and in there was a tree, maybe a couple of feet from me, and hanging from a tree was an owl ornament. It was so weird, Like random, it was a. It was like a wood, a wooden owl, like you know how, like those kids can get those little like tiny wood things and like they just paint them. It's like a craft. It was hanging in the tree and so, like I kind of started laughing and then I started crying and I was like, okay, I promise you I won't ask for signs anymore when it comes to specifically to this move. But, um, every time I asked for a sign, my spirit guides deliver it. But I'm also, like I said, like I'm one of those girls that like, maybe because I'm a medium, um, I'm very close with my guides. Like I know that they're not going to let me down. I know if I need an answer they're going to be right there. That they're not going to let me down. I know if I need an answer, they're going to be right there.
Speaker 1:
Another time it's happened is I left my first brokerage to go to a new brokerage and I wanted to make sure I was making the right decision, because I had only been in real estate for two months and I was with this one brokerage and it just wasn't good. It wasn't, they weren't, they weren't going. Those people that I worked with at that brokerage weren't in the going in the direction that I wanted to go in. When it came to real estate, um, they played it very safe there. We'll just keep it at that, like it's very safe. Um, they gave you leads. The money wasn't great. Your commission was like 1% it was, but it was safe because they were giving their realtors leads. Leads are just clients, right.
Speaker 1:
So I remember it's pouring down rain the day I quit and I walked to my car and it's pouring rain and I said, like I'm sitting in my car. And I was like, okay, I really need a sign that I just made the right decision. And I said show me a butterfly because it's raining, right, why would there be butterflies around? So in my head I was thinking of just like a regular little butterfly. And, no kidding, later that day I think it was like a couple hours later I pick up my daughter from school and I'm going through her backpack and she grabs her backpack.
Speaker 1:
She's like I painted you something today and I was like, oh, you painted me something in art, okay. And I was like great, what is it? And then she pulls it out, it's this hand painting of a butterfly. And I was like, okay, I get it. Like because you know, in my head I was like thinking like a butterfly, like right, like a regular butterfly, like flapping a live butterfly, but no, like um, sometimes spirit can go through our loved ones. If they know that the message is going to get to you, they can use other people to get to you. For example, they use my daughter. She painted a butterfly. So somebody somewhere whether it was a spirit guide or a loved one or something on the other side probably put it in her head Like I'm going to paint my mom a butterfly, cause she could paint anything in art. Art was one of those where she got free, free time, where she got to paint anything, and she just happened to randomly paint butterfly.
Speaker 1:
So don't be afraid to ask for signs If you are having a hard time making a decision, do not ask other people. Asking other people is going to put you on their life plan. Their blueprint you were born with your own is going to put you on their life plan. Their blueprint you were born with your own you need to start asking yourself and even if you don't have support even when I left my ex-husband, I did not have support.
Speaker 1:
I remember this one specific family member. I won't mention who she was, but she tried to talk me out of it, believe it or not, and I remember that conversation because I was sitting at one of my girlfriend's house. I just left my ex-husband, I moved back to San Diego and I was sitting at my girlfriend's house when I got this long text messages about how I'm making the wrong decision, because he was stable and safe and I could be a stay-at-home mom and all that stuff, and I was thinking like, does she even know what I've been going through? And I was like she has to know, right? I don't know. But I cried, of course, because I was like again, once again, I felt like I just don't have support and I have to do these things with or without it. And it sucks, right, it absolutely sucks.
Speaker 1:
But the best part about it is when you are doing things, when you're stretching yourself and you're achieving your goals, the right people find you, and I cannot express this enough. I didn't know a single person in Texas and then, as soon as I got here and I just started talking to people and I would go to the gym and I would meet really successful real estate agents and I would go to networking events and all this stuff I just realized like, oh my God, I'm meeting the right people and they were supportive, because nobody's going to tell you not to do something that you want to do. If they're already successful at it, they're going to be the ones that are going to be your biggest cheerleaders. It's the people who are staying safe and in their comfort zone are going to be like, no, what are you doing? Like no, don't do that Move, don't leave that marriage, don't write that book. They're the ones that are going to be telling you to like, water yourself down, because, one, you're probably making them uncomfortable because I make people uncomfortable just by joining the military and two, it's going, it's you're. You're not going to be if you haven't built that habit of like doing things without support. You might listen to them and then you're going to feel unfulfilled. You are going to live the same year 75 times and call it a life. So don't do that. You're going to be on your deathbed and you'll be like why, why didn't do that? Why didn't I do that?
Speaker 1:
I meet so many people on a daily basis that are like wow, you were in the Marine Corps and I meet. When I tell you a lot of people I mean a lot of people it's like usually the first thing that they say when I tell them I was like military and we talk about it, they go oh my gosh, like I almost joined the military. And I'm sure there's other people out there too that have like, if you're in a specific career and they're like wow, I wish I could have done that, or I wish I did this or I wish I did that, I w you know it's like, but why didn't you? It's probably because they had a lot of people telling them don't do it, because it would make them uncomfortable. It would.
Speaker 1:
You know, they don't like to see their friends living out of their comfort zones because it may. It reminds them of like oh shit, I'm not doing anything with my life. Nobody likes that realization, but it's okay for you to do things, with or without support. If you don't, you're going to regret it. You have to at least try. And if you're basing your decisions off intuition, you you will not be led wrong If you just if you don't even know what you want to do, but you know you want to do something and something needs to change in your life in order to change the trajectory of your life. You're like I don't know what I want to do, because that was me in law enforcement. I was like I don't know what I want to do, but I know I don't want to do this anymore, as I felt like I needed to move and it took me a year of going inward and journaling, having a life coach.
Speaker 1:
I met Candice Dalton, who got me more connected with the other side and like she helped me with my mediumship skills and stuff like that which set off like a whole, a whole different thing of being out of my comfort zone, and I was like, oh my gosh, like maybe I can do something more entrepreneur, because I love the idea of it and I'm. And all of a sudden I started having friends that were entrepreneurs and it just came to me. I was like I can see myself in real estate and that's where it kind of took off. But you're not going to have support all the time. I definitely didn't.
Speaker 1:
My dad he tried to talk me out of it. He was like you're, you know, you're moving to a state where you don't know anybody. I was like, yeah, and he's like but it's not like a referral based business. And I was like, yeah, I don't know why I'm doing this, but I feel like I need to do it and it all works out in the end. If you are basing decisions off of your own intuition, not other people's opinions or their decision, you know like, don't let them make the decision for your life. You're not always going to have that support.
Speaker 1:

Okay, anyway, I hope you guys have a really good weekend. I love you so so much. Please be safe and, like I said, stretch yourself, do something this weekend. That is crazy. Just do something. Try something. Go ziplining, do something in your life that you think that you can't do and then do it and create a new level for yourself. Create a new baseline so that when you are stretching yourself to write, to write that book, to leave, leave your current job to, to try entrepreneurship, you can look back at that and say you know what, if I can do that, I can do anything. I love you guys so so much. I'll see you next Friday.
