Sometimes you have to take a look back and see how far you've come in order to take that next brave step in your life. In today's episode, I'm joined by Kimberley Valerie, Jessica Jovanovich, and Tyler Ranalla, three extraordinary humans, and fellow coaches who have become my really good friends. We're going to talk about our healing journeys, and how they can inform our present situation, and our businesses and what it looks like to manifest from the future, and really leave a legacy for those who have the privilege of impacting.

Hello, friend, welcome to The Couragecast. My name is Andrea, and I'm your host. And do I ever have a treat for you today? This month, we are in the lead up to the 200th episode, which is a huge milestone in life of any podcast. But it seems like a really appropriate time to be celebrating because I can feel this shift taking place in my life. And maybe you can too. And lately I've been asking myself, "How can I start sourcing from the future and making decisions about my life by asking my future self?" I know that sounds a little bit weird, right? But it can be all too easy to stay stuck in our past circumstances, and make all of our decisions from those experiences. But when we start to access from the future, the future becomes wide open to us. There are so many possibilities.
Andrea Crisp 2:13
So today on the podcast, I invited three of my really good friends to join me because of their influence in my life over the past year. And because quite frankly, I love what they're doing in the world. So let me tell you a little bit about Kimberley. Kimberley Valerie is a trained social worker, certified in subconscious imprinting, life and success coaching, hypnotherapy, and time techniques. And she's also just introduced the edge formula, which is a coaching system Kimberley created out of her own transformational stories that she now shares with others.
Andrea Crisp 2:45
Jessica Jovanovich is a mindset and manifestation coach, and she specializes in coaching driven women on how to create the life and business of their dreams. As an expert in manifestation, she helps our clients step into their intuition, operate their profound power, and create from a place of ease and flow, and let go of the hustle and grind mentality.
Andrea Crisp 3:06
And last but not least is life purpose coach, Tyler Ranalla, who is a father to three amazing humans, husband to Mayela, and is impacting so many entrepreneurs, and creatives in leaving a legacy for years to come.
Andrea Crisp 3:25
Friends, I am so excited for you to hear this episode. It is truly been one of my favorites to record, and in the lead up to the 200th episode, it is exactly what we need to hear as we are shifting and expanding our lives to source from the future.
Andrea Crisp 3:44
Well, I am super excited. We are at episode 199. I've got three of my very favorite humans on this conversation today. I'm so excited. The lead up to the 200th episode. I feel like I'm just gonna get a little bit of a clamped, I'm looking at your like amazing faces. Kimberley Valerie, Tyler Ranalla, and Jessica Jovanovich, welcome to The Couragecast!
Kimberley Valerie 4:08
Happy to be here.
Tyler Ranalla 4:09
So happy to be here, and part of this like journey and just being like, helping you take it to this next level, be like really being a permanent part of it. Like yeah, thank you so much!
Andrea Crisp 4:24
Yeah, no, it is my it is my honor to have you guys on like, when I was thinking about what what it's going to look like to reach this major milestone in my life, I thought about, you know, who are people that I really feel like have a message to share with the world, who are making an impact and maybe making an impact in a different way than each other. But we have been in a cohort together, Fast Foundations Mastermind, for a good part of a year and I have come to know you each individually and just absolutely adore the three of you. And so I know that you have so much to share with the audience. Today we're talking about all about sourcing from the future, and maybe people have heard what, what that is all about. Or maybe that's like, a term you've never heard before, and we're going to talk about it from three different points of view. And from what we can learn in order to actually make decisions from our future selves. So I'm gonna start with Kimberley.
Kimberley Valerie 5:24
Oh, I'm gonna start sweating!
Andrea Crisp 5:27
I'm like just yeah, yeah, don't worry, I'm already sweating, so.
Jessica Jovanovich 5:32
I'm glad you're going first, thanks Kimberley!
Andrea Crisp 5:36
So can't really tell us a little bit about who you are and who you serve.
Kimberley Valerie 5:40
Okay, thank you. Thanks. Again. Thank you, Andrea, for allowing me, invited me to be part of this instrumental moment in your work and personal life, really, because I know it's a work thing. But it really comes from us personally. It's comes from our person. So it is all of who we are. So who am I? So I when I'm asked that question like sometimes for ease, because who am I and what I do are two different things, right? I am a human being, I am a soulful human being. I am all the roles that I play wife, mother, sister, friend, grammy, like all those pieces. But what I do, and what I've done my whole entire life is I, I'm a social worker, a master coach, it didn't matter if I was like, I'm the oldest of five, twin, it didn't matter if I was rallying the troops of my siblings and taking care of them and leading them, or out on my own making my own way, I have always been, this is gonna sound really cheesy, but so I was born a twin. And I literally grew next to a human being, connected from the moment of conception, we were connected and grew in this space. And it really is where my purpose was, was really created in that moment. And that's to connect with other human beings in a way that brings influence and power to their lives, whatever that means.
Kimberley Valerie 7:03
So I've just kind of lived that, and express that in, in all that I've done in my life. So now what I do, I mean, I've been I've had a variety of different functions, but always in a place of bringing expansion, new growth, new experiences to wherever I go. So I've kind of a serial entrepreneur and social work. At one point, the funny thing is, is those two things really collided because I was working in this really grassroots, social work place. At the same time, I was starting to become really involved in business and amass wealth. And so I was really in this really kind of incongruent place, right? And so that was geology, and over the years have just evolved with the invitations that life has given me to evolve. And so now I'm working in the online, right?
Andrea Crisp 7:54
Now, I was to say, you've had a lot happen in your life too, circumstances, and how have they contributed to that?
Kimberley Valerie 8:00
Yeah, I'm certainly you know, I'm like every other human being, I'm no stranger to adversity. My childhood was very unstable. We were very poor. I was really severely abused as a teenager, young teen, hospitalized, and then removed from my family. I was rejected by my culture, because I blocked with while I was blonde, now I'm gray, blond haired, blue eyed, native ancestry, and spent some time living on reserve but didn't look like I fit in. So I had, you know, had those kinds of rejections and trauma as a child that started me off. You know, as an adult, I said, "I had a really good adult life, or have a really good adult life." And I always said, it was like, it was like, it was because my childhood was just wrought with all of this kind of like trauma that I got to like, I know I went met a wonderful man, and we have a great family. I was like, anything I wanted to do, I was able to do, but what I soon learned when I was, and so five years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. And in that time, of a journey of exploring what that the whole situation, which is a whole other podcast, what I learned was the majority of how I had been responding in life, no matter how conscious I thought I was, no matter how intentional I had been living my life, I had great relationships with my family, we had moved through forgiveness, like all of that kind of stuff. I was a large part of how I was behaving was really out of a trauma response. And, and that there became some really deep learning. So those are kind of the highlights, I think, with a few other things.
Andrea Crisp 9:45
Thank you for sharing that because you know it it does really make a difference. You know, when we're telling our stories and that vulnerability and honesty of you being able to share you know where you've come from, I think will really make a difference as we even go through the conversation today because It's gonna inform why it is that you do what you do today and how you are sourcing from your future self?
Kimberley Valerie 10:08
Well, that's really..
Andrea Crisp 10:09
A huge difference where you were, e
Kimberley Valerie 10:10
Well that's and that's really what what were the click was for me. So in the first part of my adult life, I was just looking at forward, right? Anything I wanted to do. However, if I, if somebody else could do it, I still believe then it's for me too. If somebody else has achieved it, it's for me too. If it comes to my mind, it's for me, why not try? But here's the thing I did not look back, I did not have, I did not have any respect, or consciousness about the impact of the past. So now, you know, I'm in this kind of like, introspective reflective journey because of breast cancer as much as I wanted to reject that. Not the breast cancer, yes, but what it meant, like all the pieces that it meant, what happened is now I'm like spending some time healing, really healing from trauma, healing.
Kimberley Valerie 11:01
And now I'm, I'm seeing that what's happening is most of us get stuck in that space. When we start to heal the trauma, when we start to really like, when we're safe enough to start digging in and seeing how it's really showing up in real life, it can, we could stay there. And so where's this forward piece? Right? Where's this future piece? How could we unpack the past, and learn from that in a real impactful way that changes your soul, right, changes everything, and really anchor into the future. And not, and so that is really the sweet spot. So I love your topic, because that's what gets me jacked, is this thing anchoring into the future, is taking, taking the past, which is so funny, because my husband who loves history, he loves past everything. For the majority of our married life, he would say to me, you know who it was, he would find it so boring, because he's like, You don't you don't care about history, you don't care about, you know, we go on holidays, and he'd want to go, like we went to Italy he want to do all the things about history, right? And he made me swear, I would not complain, I would not roll my eyes. I would not because I and so now he's like, "Oh my gosh, you you you get why history is so important!" So it's kind of a funny story between him and I, but really understanding that we can't live there. We need to unpack some of that.
Andrea Crisp 12:23
Yeah.
Kimberley Valerie 12:24
Most of it at some point.
Andrea Crisp 12:27
Yeah,
Kimberley Valerie 12:27
but we can't live there. So how do we step into that future self?
Andrea Crisp 12:31
Oh that's good. We'll come back.
Kimberley Valerie 12:33
Okay.
Andrea Crisp 12:34
We'll come back to that. Yeah, that's good. Jessica Jovanovich.
Jessica Jovanovich 12:38
Hello!
Andrea Crisp 12:38
Friend, my friend! Tell us a little bit about, I mean, you've been, you've been a guest. So, the listeners know you. They probably love you.
Jessica Jovanovich 12:46
Oh, yeah.
Andrea Crisp 12:47
This is your second, second appearance on The Couragecast, which then you got to know I love you, or I'll see you in here twice. But tell us about yourself, and who you serve.
Jessica Jovanovich 12:57
Well, I'm happy to be back, thanks for having me back. And that episode we did before was great. So, um, we'll touch on some of that today, I'm sure. But like Andrea said, I'm Jessica, Jovanovich, and I'm a strategy and soul coach, focus heavily on manifestation. And so I'm kinda like, Kimberley, I'm like, "How do I introduce myself?" Well, and then I think of like, do I share random facts? No. Okay. Well, we'll keep a serious. No, so okay, how this happened. So now I'm a coach for entrepreneurs. But that's not where I started, I actually started, I've always kind of been an entrepreneur, and always kind of been obsessed with identifying difference makers in life, like what equals happiness? What equals results? How do we move the needle? How do we get from where we are to where we want to be, and like a big dreamer, but also a whole bunch of drives. So trying to find a balance of that. And so then when I started in network marketing, well, 11 or so years ago, that was like, the real time where I wanted to test all of this out. And in network marketing, everybody gets a similar strategy, like, this is how you do the thing. But it does not equal consistent, predictable results for everybody at all. And so I was implementing kind of a strategy and soul combo that I had identified, I guess, almost accidentally for my life, just because I'm a nerd and had tried to pay attention to the difference makers. And I got great results. I was able to build up pretty quickly in a couple of years.
Jessica Jovanovich 14:21
But I didn't realize how, how cool that combo approach was until people started reaching out like, "How did you do that? How can I pick your brain? Can I take you to lunch?" And that eventually led into this coaching situation because I saw people trying so hard, and putting in so much effort, and not getting results. Or I saw people wanting to focus on the inner work, the soul component, and not knowing how to take action. In fact, I would hear people be like, "Well, how do I like manifest and feel good? I feel good. And then I've got to like shift into a different gear to go to work." I'm like, whoa, whoa, this is like one in the same. This is about who you are being and so that's where the manifestation component comes in, where we gotta have a energy, our belief, dialed in and be taking action that's congruent with the results that we desire. So that's what I geek out about, teach people how to do all the time now, how to really take a combo approach to have results without, and really grow your business without that struggle and burnout. And you know, like nerd facts about me, I am all about just I love life. So ways to access and feel joy in the day to day is a big thing I geek out about. So like, in addition to helping people get results in their business, I, my clients will say like, how it's impacted their life. And the best thing is when people are like, I'm just so much happier, I live a more fulfilled joyful life. And that's really what manifestation is all about, because it's just intentionally designing your life. So that's who I am. How I help people. I also like love candy. I have a frenchie, love my husband, have three amazing kids.
Andrea Crisp 15:56
You're hockey mom.
Jessica Jovanovich 15:57
I'm a hockey mom, my son just won the championship this weekend! I'm still, I'm still, I still feel the the buzz from it. Like I'm still shaking from watching that final game. It went into overtime. Oh my gosh. So it was it was wonderful. It was wonderful.
Andrea Crisp 16:15
You know, and you've overcome some things too like you, your manifestation journey, like, you know, what brought you to that? Like, what, what in was a catalyst to to get you to learn about that and implement that in your own life?
Jessica Jovanovich 16:30
Yeah, so there's kind of like two parts to it. So to keep it brief, one was just the type of kid that I was having so much drive and determination. Like, I was like in eighth grade wondering about my college application? Well, this is so good on my college application, can someone track down NYU, and let me know what I need to have? Like, what eight year old thinks about that? I just am a nerd, you guys. And so there was so much drive. But then there's this missing, what about me? Like for what I'm checking all these boxes getting this, these hard classes? For what? For what? For what? For what? What's the point like, what am I after? And so there was kind of this breaking point where almost everything in my life had gone awry, all at this one moment. And I realized that something, something wasn't right, that you can accomplish all these things. But there was still that missing part of for what, so that's when I started looking for something different, something deeper, and I actually kind of by accident, started stumbling across different books, and where I started to develop the language that I was experiencing with manifestation.
Jessica Jovanovich 17:33
And then if we fast forward a few years, I went through a really painful divorce. And there was a lot that went on behind closed doors that, you know, I don't really talk about publicly that was very, very painful. And it was this opportunity for me to really put into practice what I had learned, it's one thing to do it in a business, it's one thing to do it for yourself. But this was like a whole different level. And I really have created a life that I'm so thrilled to be living that I absolutely love. And then that brought me to meeting this incredible man, my husband today, who is just like the best, we have a happy and healthy marriage. And that wasn't what my eyes were set on. It was kind of a natural byproduct when we prioritize intentional creation of our life. So those hard points in my life, kind of going into adulthood and realizing, "Wait, what's all this work for," kind of looking for this deeper meaning and then being in this really excruciating, heart wrenching time in my life, where, again, kind of met with, "I have all these accomplishments? But what else do I want to be implementing? What kind of life do I want to create?"
Andrea Crisp 18:36
That's beautiful. Thank you.
Jessica Jovanovich 19:05
Thank you!
Andrea Crisp 18:39
Tyler, the man of the hour here is joining all these women, his wife is about to give birth to their third baby. Well, it's not actually baby because your daughter's not a baby. By your third child, you're you guys are raising an amazing family. And Mayela is almost almost about to pop here. So thanks for being here.
Tyler Ranalla 19:06
I'm so glad. I know. I messaged you a few days ago, and I was like, "I may or may not have a baby in my hand while we're recording this, so."
Jessica Jovanovich 19:15
Now, now she's just in the delivery room, but he stepped outside for this. Just kidding, just kidding!
Tyler Ranalla 19:23
That was really happening.
Andrea Crisp 19:25
Yeah, very easily, very easily, kind of. Okay, so tell us a little bit about who you are and who you serve.
Tyler Ranalla 19:31
Yeah, so I, I firmly believe that like, who we are, like we do come into this world with a gift, and like a piece of us that we're like, meant to serve. But I think that the ways that we employ that gift always evolves, and that's another like, essence of who you are. So I think my gifts that I've uncovered so far is just like huge heart for kindness and also as a creative, but the ways in my life that I've, I guess, implemented that I've been able to share those gifts has been as a father, you know, as a son, as a brother, as a husband, and also as an entrepreneur and a business owner. And so yeah, that's a bit of who I am. And then who I serve, is also forever evolving. For nine years, I documented people's weddings, with photo and video, and I did marketing and branding for a long time. And now I'm a coach. And even when I started with coaching, it was much more around like, how to, I want to teach people how to have peace and happiness along the journey. Because like you were talking about, Jessica, that was something for me, too, that was missing for a really long time. And, but as I've gotten into this scene, what I have learned in the past, now coming up in new ways, and supporting people, with their businesses and their marketing. And so it's really, it's like forever evolving. By I guess, if I had to boil it down to my goal is to serve those who serve others, and to help them kind of unfold and be who they're meant to be.
Andrea Crisp 21:20
Yeah, you talk a lot about legacy, leaving a legacy, what does that mean to you?
Tyler Ranalla 21:25
Legacy is what we leave behind. And that is not not just what we leave behind when we are not here anymore. But also what we leave behind in every interaction we have. On a day to day basis.
Andrea Crisp 21:45
Yeah,
Jessica Jovanovich 21:46
That's good.
Tyler Ranalla 21:48
That's really good. I know, right?
Kimberley Valerie 21:50
Can I write that down?
Tyler Ranalla 21:52
Write it down? You know, it's cool. It's so it's full circle is that the person who came up with the name legacy coach is Kimberley. We were call and said, "I think your legacy coach", I wouldn't even be really having this conversation without that.
Kimberley Valerie 22:05
Oh!
Jessica Jovanovich 22:07
That's cute.
Andrea Crisp 22:09
Yeah, you know, it's so interesting to me. Because when we think about like, you guys have things that you've each brought up like intentionality around, you know, healing, and, and using our story and using what's happened and not, not bypassing, you know, that healing place, but also then, creating a life that we do love so that we can leave an indelible mark on others, I think is so important. You know, you guys are all parents, grandparents, I'm the only single, non-kid, I've got a dog.
Tyler Ranalla 22:47
It counts!,
Andrea Crisp 22:48
And it does count. But you know, it's really something very interesting that has actually, I've been ruminating on for for quite some time now. And, and that is, you know, when I'm thinking about sourcing from the future, and I'm thinking about myself, I'm like, "Well, I don't know that I'm going to, you know, biologically have any children at this point in the game? If I do, I'll be big surprise to me." But when I think about that, I'm like, Okay, well, how do I leave, you know, behind this, this legacy. And I realized that, it's, it's not about just having your own kids, and about, it's about energetically what we're putting out into the world. And how we are allowing ourselves to be, so what I do in my life is going to impact generations and generations, even if it's not through my own biological children. And, you know, for me, you know, there, there used to be a time where I was like, "Well, I don't know how to source from the future, think about like my future, because it's like, it feels like it's just me solitary." And so somebody may, you know, connect with one of us on this on the conversation be like, you know, I'm at this stage of my life, or this stage of my life, or this stage. And, you know, it doesn't matter what stage of life you are, or where you're at, you get to leave something a mark on the world, and how we live and create our lives really makes a difference.
Kimberley Valerie 24:16
It really does.
Andrea Crisp 24:17
I just want to
Kimberley Valerie 24:17
I really like what Tyler said though, about, like, in the past, I would have thought of legacy is like something you leave behind, like when you pass on, right? Like, I think the majority of us think of it in that bigger kind of macro way. But really as like the legacy of like, every interaction you're having, you're leaving some kind of imprint, or some kind of ripple effect, right? So really looking at those as legacy moments as well.
Jessica Jovanovich 24:43
I think that's really powerful too, because it allows us to be more intentional. Sometimes this idea of legacy seems so far off, like you almost cross your fingers and hope that your funeral they get it right, or that you got it right. But then this way, it's like, "Oh, every interaction that really allows us to be accountable for how am I showing up, who am I being? What's the energy I'm putting out there?" If that's how we're talking about legacy, that's more tangible, that's something we can adjust if we don't totally dig it right now, that's, that's something really exciting to think about. That's why it's definitely going on a post-it-note.
Tyler Ranalla 25:13
Right? Yeah, it's it's powerful. Because your, your ripples that you are creating, every day in this ocean, we call life, they are things that are also self sustaining. So it's like every moment, there's an opportunity to create a ripple that will self sustain into the future, into other people's lives that you will never ever know. And so it's like, what it's like, yeah, with awesome power comes awesome, awesome responsibility. It's not quite the quote, but it's it in that,
Jessica Jovanovich 25:48
That's the quote, that's the Tyler quote.
Tyler Ranalla 25:51
Everything's awesome. I have kids like Legos, you know? So, but yeah, it's, it's, you recognize that, if you even if somebody does have kids, there are moments and I, this happens to me where like, I can look back and be like, "You know what, that in that moment, the ripple that I made, did not lead to the type of legacy I want to leave." You know in those moments with kids and different actions, like, I was on a podcast with our mutual friend, Cory Phelps. And she was, we were talking about legacy, and she was like, "Yeah, if you're, you know, in traffic, and you flip somebody off, it's like, you don't know what, like, what impact that may have on their life, or what what the how that energy will carry through?" And it's, um, you know, the answer is bring it back to this, tell me again, what it is the taking from your future?
Kimberley Valerie 26:45
Sourcing, especially from the future,
Tyler Ranalla 26:47
That is like one filter, to be able to say like, and there's something about legacy that automatically makes it not about you, that I think is really powerful. But that's a way to be able to kind of, yeah, future pace, like what could this create for my life? Or those around?
Andrea Crisp 27:08
So let's, let's go there, because I would love to hear when you think of each of your lives, and you know, the work you're doing right now, what is that, what is that future imprint that you are believing? Or you're you're making right now? Kimberley?
Kimberley Valerie 27:24
Oh!
Andrea Crisp 27:24
Would you say for you?
Kimberley Valerie 27:25
Dang, pick me first.
Jessica Jovanovich 27:27
Thanks Kimberley!
Kimberley Valerie 27:30
In that question..
Andrea Crisp 27:31
She was just like, she was like, yeah..
Kimberley Valerie 27:33
Like, they can ask me
Jessica Jovanovich 27:35
She's gonna go journal on that and be back in an hour.
Kimberley Valerie 27:39
Let me Google the answer. Uh, question again, Andrea?
Jessica Jovanovich 27:42
Even better!
Andrea Crisp 27:44
When you think about the the mark that you're making right now, like, what what is that? What is that ripple effect that you are making?
Kimberley Valerie 27:52
You know, I think the ripple effect that I am making, is that equipping the kind of next generation and coming up, those that are coming up to be able to carry on this bigger messaging about. I know there's a business aspect to it, right? Like we're all building businesses, and earning income, and creating wealth. But there's this bigger picture of I want to say like, it's like a gathering of the masses, so that getting the message out that people do not have to stay with which they are born into or stuck into, that there's a way out, and as we all create these messages, and so it really just helps kind of create that collective consciousness. But also, the more people that do it, is that the more it comes into the awareness of the next person that maybe doesn't understand that their life can be different.
Kimberley Valerie 28:42
And so right now, for me, my real focus is on building up coaches to be able to help facilitate that forward movement at the same time as working through the past stuff, right, helping people remove and release those past anchors to source and move into their future, as opposed to just telling people what to do. Right, so this is kind of like now I'm going to kind of get a little harsh on the coaching industry. Because their coaches are, we all, there's a million of them and all different kinds. But I come from a place where we were actually was trained on conversation, like how to facilitate actual conversation internally, instead of telling people what to do, right? So so many times we're called to coach from our own experiences, but we don't actually know how to help somebody else discover their process, because it's, it's not about me telling you, you know, Andrea, this is how I got through ABC, so this is what you need to do. That is not going to be helpful to you. All that does is keeps continuing the story in your head that you're not good enough where you're at, right? You're still externally sourcing. So that's kind of where I'm at in this phase of my life, my age, my profession, and taking all of those years of lived experience professional training, and my own personal kind of growth and opinions.
Andrea Crisp 30:11
So it's really about like, equipping somebody else and giving them the tools to be able to like source for themselves. Like, you know, say give them a fish, feed them for a day,
Kimberley Valerie 30:22
It really is a Jesus mantra, right?
Andrea Crisp 30:26
You're welcome.
Jessica Jovanovich 30:26
That's good too! Add that to the post-it-note.
Kimberley Valerie 30:30
And that's really where I feel because for years, like I worked for years front line with people in the trenches. And that is not my space anymore. I've even tried it in the online space, I even tried to, but that's my I'm now at a place where I feel like I'm equipping soldiers and equipping the next generation of coaches, I'm doing in the online space. And that's new for me, because I'm a brick and mortar business about three brick and mortar businesses. So yeah.
Andrea Crisp 30:59
No, I love that. And you know, it's so funny, because there's so much of why I went into coaching was for that reason, because I was working within the church. And it was all about telling them what to do, and telling them how to lead and how to be better leaders, instead of teaching them how to figure that out for themselves. And that's where I was like, "This is not working." So, I love how you are taking that and taking it a step further, and saying, "Okay, and I'm going to teach coaches how to do that in a in a really beautiful way." So that's, that's awesome. Jessica, ripple effect, how are you like throwing those pebbles in the pond and (ripple sound effect).
Jessica Jovanovich 31:39
Exciting to think about! You know, something that I've said to my clients before, and something that if I really think about, like, what am I doing, why am I doing this, that will bring tears to my eyes, is is really helping people own their power, live in their power? I think that so many...
Kimberley Valerie 31:55
Amen!
Jessica Jovanovich 31:56
Yes! So many times people...
Andrea Crisp 31:59
About to have church up in here.
Jessica Jovanovich 32:01
I like it, the podcast church. So like, so many times, people are outsourcing their powers, because they're not either they're not trusting themselves, they're looking for somebody else to tell them what to do. Maybe that's a church that they grew up in, and that was what was modeled. Don't trust yourself, someone else has the answer, or, and there's so many different ways that this shows up. But I find that again, and again, and again, in my coaching, it's like getting back to helping the person all have their own power, stand in their power. And from that place, you have alignment, which then will help you determine through intuition, and from that clarity, the next aligned step for you. That is a million times more powerful than anybody giving suggestions. So when I can, you know, help people stand, learn how they can stand in their own power, I believe that the ripple effect of that changes the world. And that's what I have said like, out loud to myself, and that helps me and causes me to be committed to this work into my own progress, and my own expansion, so that I can be clear in what I'm doing, and help other people stand in their power too, so that that that ripple just continues on and on and on.
Andrea Crisp 33:13
The beautiful thing about when people are standing in their own power is, is they let go of the comparison. They let go of the need to to be competitive, because they are sourcing from within, and finding the answers. Like one of the things I was thinking this morning, as I was journaling, actually, I had had kind of felt like a rough weekend where it was just like, oh, just the weight of like life. And this morning, I woke up and I was putting on some music and I was listening, I was just having this quiet time. And I remember just thinking feeling this like Divine Presence, and just like completely permeating my whole being, and how connected I can be to the Divine, to source, to God, whatever people refer to that. And when I am connected into that place, and I'm in my own power and I'm sourcing from that place, I'm not worried about what other people believe. I'm not worried about, you know, whether or not I'm here or there or the next place, because I know whatever's coming through me is because it's coming through that that place, that divine source, you know, collective consciousness, whatever it is you term, and so I love that I think that just helps us to be able to stand in our own power. And people sometimes get caught up in wearing,was it my power, is it GOD Power? Is it you know, it's like well, whatever kind of you know, it's all the same, but when we're connected, in plugged in, that's that's where it's coming from.
Jessica Jovanovich 34:49
Well, and I think, I can I wanted to add something to that like, no matter what word you describe, whether it's God, higher power, Source, inner being, it's that that point of clarity within yourself. So whether that's where you're communing with God, the universe, with yourself, it's, there's an undeniable moment of clarity that you are in peace and stillness that is an indication that you're owning your power. And then there, yeah, that that comparison is not relevant. That fear of judgment doesn't come up because you are in your clarity, or in your zone. And so what comes out is just authentic and real and true. It's not the second guessing the second thoughts, or any of that, it's just, and that's how you can kind of know for yourself if you're there or not. And the more you practice it, the easier it is to be in that place. And to go there first, when, then you have a decision to make or you're wondering what to do to grow your business, or you're wondering how to heal from this wound from the past, like, what is the right journey from you? It's practicing. Okay, now I can tell him in my power, I'm accessing that clarity.
Andrea Crisp 35:52
Mm hmm. Yeah. Which is, you know, we hear so often that it's like, okay, just go to a strategy or, like, try to do this, or try this thing. You know, which is puts us back into that, you know, try, try, try, try versus Wait, and allow, you know, in that allowing space, so I love that. Tyler, what ripple effect are you making?
Tyler Ranalla 36:14
Yeah, I get well, before I answer, I was just I like what Jessica said about people outsource the power. So I think my biggest part of the the punch line of this is like you source your future by insourcing your power.
Kimberley Valerie 36:26
Mm hmm.
Tyler Ranalla 36:28
That was pretty good.
Jessica Jovanovich 36:30
Tyler, just showing up with the quote, right? Yes, I did not know this about you, my friend.
Tyler Ranalla 36:38
Right? But I'll share another one. Yesterday, I thought this is this one I could add, which was, "The most selfless thing you could ever do is love yourself." Which I guess is my answer, in a way is I have a commitment now to like love myself. So that I can come from that place deeper within when I support people.
Andrea Crisp 37:03
Why do you think that helps?
Tyler Ranalla 37:06
Well, the loving yourself part?
Andrea Crisp 37:10
Yeah!
Tyler Ranalla 37:12
I want to make sure that even without my words, energy I bring into any interaction is a sense, where people can feel when they leave it in some way loved, right. And in that space, recognizing their own power, their own connection to another power that's already within them. But I know even for me in the past, when I haven't fully loved myself, if and if a, if I was in a conversation where I was trying to in some way have that conversation be proof that I was worthy of love for something. Right. And I was in that space of ego or validation, or approval. I was like, directly disconnected from that deeper part of me, right, the flow, or the source, or communion with God. And so really, that's what legacy has done for me. It's it like, right away, taps me into, this isn't about me. But that's why that's so important as it is then then I don't need anything from anybody else. And I get to just show up.
Andrea Crisp 38:24
I love that. And I think that's the that's the thing, right? Like when we love ourselves, then we're not looking for everybody else to bring in.
Kimberley Valerie 38:34
Fill those spots,
Andrea Crisp 38:35
All of these things, yeah.
Jessica Jovanovich 38:37
Those deficiencies and the weird things that we do to overcompensate for those deficiencies. It takes us off our path that takes us out of our power.
Tyler Ranalla 38:45
Yeah.
Andrea Crisp 38:45
Yeah.
Jessica Jovanovich 38:46
Cuz there's all sorts of confusion.
Andrea Crisp 38:49
And why do you think, Kimberley, that that, like when we think about, like, you know, the past and trauma? Why do you think that, that people tend to want to go back down that road? Instead of like, maybe, you know, loving ourselves? What, why do you think people are stuck there?
Kimberley Valerie 39:04
I think people get stuck in the ish and the muck of it. That's what I think. I think that it can be, you know, and, you know, I started off this interview with you sharing a real significant trauma, right? Like, it's like, it's a kind of blood and guts kind of, but trauma is really just something that shapes us, it can be anything, it could be as simple as your first day of school and leaving your family for the first time. That could be something that sticks within your, your cells, your DNA. And so I think because we, so when we go back to those places, there's some, there's some emotions that are there that need to be either released, or expressed or well and all of those things as well as the learnings, right? And then taking the that time to really be able to say, "Okay, what are the learnings in that, that now if that hadn't happened, or how would that serve me in these ways?" Right. And I just think that as human beings, we have a tendency to stay in the muck longer than we need to. It's like, we feel like we need to like, like, stay and swirl in it. And, you know, we've all had spins, you mentioned, like this weekend, it was a little bit a bit heavier weekend for you. So if all that combines, it can really, it can really keep you stuck for a while, you know what I mean? And so I don't know that we intentionally want to stay in those places. I think that the this, the unconscious, part of our subconscious mind is always tried to protect us, and reinforce things that we don't really want to believe anymore. So there's a lot of different factors that can play. Some people are really used to taking, this is a really, this is going to be a bold statement people, some people, some people are using it...
Andrea Crisp 40:53
Not a post-it-note.
Kimberley Valerie 40:54
Right? Some people are so used to be a victim of circumstance, whatever it is of an external thing, that that's where they get their power from. And so they stay in those places.
Andrea Crisp 41:06
Yeah, yeah. When you move past victimhood, Jessica, and you are creating a life you love. Where, where you going? Like, how are you doing that? Like, maybe someone is in that place where they have identified as a victim, and now now no longer do? And they're like, "Okay, I want to create something out of my life. And I'm not sure exactly how to do that, or where to start", what would you say to them?
Jessica Jovanovich 41:37
You know, I think that's a great question. I think there's several answers to it. But I think I want to say this first, that having gone through lots of different types of traumas, of varying degrees in my own life as well, which I think every human has, I think it is important to get clear for yourself, what is the modality of healing that's appropriate for you, you know? Is it do need to go to some talk therapy, is there another type of therapy, like go get the help that you need, you are worthy and deserving of that help. And sometimes that therapy, sometimes there's a book that will bring about that healing, there's varying ways that you can experience it, but it's not one size fits all.
Jessica Jovanovich 42:12
So I want to say that as kind of the, the overall principle here,
Kimberley Valerie 42:16
Yeah.
Jessica Jovanovich 42:17
Now when you're at this point, where like I actually had, and I know, you've heard this story, I may have even shared it on our podcast episode, where I had gone to London for a weekend, like literally flew 10 hours, was only there for two nights, three days, away from my three little little kids. And it was I was finally away from all the noise of my life for just a short time. And I thought I was going to have this fabulous trip, I had my foot tall my camera, I'd rented a lens, I was an photographer, photographer before I started in network marketing. And instead, I was there and was alone with my thoughts and realized how off course my life was, and a big theme of that was that I was continually living as a victim to my life.
Kimberley Valerie 42:58
Mm hmm.
Jessica Jovanovich 42:59
That although I had such a desire to be happy, it was like this. I kept going back into the cycle of like, "I want to live a happy, fulfilled life. Oh, but look at all this shit that's happening that's holding me back, and going back and back." And there was something about that, where it hurt bad enough. Well, I was walking up the steps into the museum, sobbing with an umbrella. And my photographer as this tourist, that I, it was this line in the sand moment where something had to change. And when I flew home, my life was never, ever, ever the same again. But what really changed, it wasn't just this heart heart, tug trip, it was I decided it was time for me to take responsibility for my life. I could no longer sit and point at who had done what to me, and why I was in what situations and what this relationship was doing. And instead, if I were to take back my own power, that also meant I had to take responsibility for how I was showing up how I was reacting, responding, take my healing into my own hands. And that changed everything.
Jessica Jovanovich 44:00
But that had to be the principle for me number one: 100% responsibility for my life. That didn't mean that things that had actually happened to me were my fault, but I was taking ownership of how I was responding, and what I was doing next. So it was kind of this energy of, of acknowledging what is and then saying, "and now what," and I had never had the true forward, "And now what I'm in charge, I'm this already here. I'm creating something new." That that was the shift.
Kimberley Valerie 44:29
Oh, so beautiful.
Jessica Jovanovich 44:32
Thank you. Thanks, Kimberley. So really, that that was the biggest change for me.
Andrea Crisp 44:41
That's powerful!
Jessica Jovanovich 44:41
But a big change, but let me say this too. You don't have to wait for a big thing to happen. You don't have to wait till this weird trip to London that like gives you this awakening. You can hear this podcast and you can decide, "Hey, I'm ready to own my power a little more. I'm ready for my healing journey. I'm ready to change the legacy that I'm living." And you can decide in this moment that you're going to shift. And again, prioritize your clarity. And maybe take this responsibility of what you're wanting to experience in your life. And start now, don't wait for this big huge earthquake of a situation, you can just simply decide now.
Andrea Crisp 45:17
And you know, to that, because I love how you're both just expressed that. But I also think with that, it's like, oftentimes people are thinking, Well, when I get to this place, then I will be able to own, and I'll move past it, you're owning, and taking responsibility in every step of the journey. So if it's, you know, actually saying, "Okay, I feel like I've been a victim in my life, and I need to go to therapy, and I need to work through that." You're taking ownership. If you have gotten the healing you needed, and you're moving past that, and you're working on a different modality. And you're getting a different type of healing and transformation in your life. You're taking ownership. And when you start to, you know, work in your life in a new way through manifestation. You're taking ownership. And I want to say that to people, because I think sometimes we think we got to wait, we're waiting until this like elusive time, where it's like, "Okay, now, okay, now. Okay, now", you know, like, and no, it's it is now.
Kimberley Valerie 46:22
Yeah.
Andrea Crisp 46:22
This moment, you get to take responsibility, and you get to take charge, and you get to say, "Yeah, this from here, right now, I'm owning this." Tyler, for you, what does that look like? When you think about like, you know, you're dad, you're husband? You know, when you think about taking ownership in your life, like, what does that look like? And how does that make a difference in your, in your business and in your family?
Tyler Ranalla 46:50
Yeah, well, similar experience of Jessica, there was a moment, a very specific moment, when the cosmic two by four hit me hard enough that I listened and realized something really needed to change. And if I look at those, you know, as those different chapters of my life, it before, you know, Jessica, you talk about blame. It's like, when you blame others, it takes the you kind of out of your breakthrough, and it is taking that ownership. And I kind of want to ask Jessica question, if that's okay, which was: What is, did you have to recognize the, like power within you before you can take right because if someone you know, if they're pointing out there and looking for people to blame in the most subtle ways, when you bring it into yourself, and you recognize, "Oh, this is up to me", you have to like, one have compassion for not being able to have that before and then to also recognize how powerful you are, how it to what degree did you have to believe in yourself before you were able to kind of take ownership?
Jessica Jovanovich 48:00
You know, again, that's a great question, and I think it'll be different for everyone. But I do believe when we have these cosmic two by four experiences, when we have these moments where the bullshit can subside. Like for me, I had to be in a different country and away from the noise, we have an uncovering of who we really are. Because this work isn't about trying to be someone we're not, it doesn't mean that we are broken, like it's a remembering, a coming home and expanding of who we really are. And so I think in those moments, we can sense that, so we don't have to overcomplicate it, we already have the power, and it's just then making a decision of, I'm ready for something new. And then the steps will, you know.
Kimberley Valerie 48:41
And I would just like to add, so for the person that's maybe like, before having the awareness, if you don't know, you don't know what you don't know. And when to start stepping into this place where you're like, wondering about the noise, or like you get in a place and you're like, "Wait, I haven't heard this kind of, I haven't heard myself, I haven't heard my own thoughts or whatever it is", you've already, that shift, that change is already starting because you've gone from like not knowing, right? Because there's people that aren't in that, it's not even within their realm at this point. But as soon as that internal shift is made, so suddenly that they start maybe being curious, "Why am I being angry all the time or whatever, why am I not happy? I have this this this", that shift has already taken place. So where those moments of clarity shows up for each individual is different. It could be, yeah, a slam across the, I think yours was the back I think Tyler, right? That took you like, mine was cancer or whatever. It could be as minor as you going for a little trip all the weekend. I had a absolutes wild moment on January 2, 2022 at 2am that absolutely blew my mind. I had gut wrenching pain in the middle of the night and maybe get up and and the awareness I had in that moment because you know what, eight months before that, I'd already started the little niggle thought, right, somewhere deep down inside. So I think that that part we don't really see, person to person. But when that little shift of like, you don't know what you don't know, to like, what is that, that wonder? That's where the magic starts.
Andrea Crisp 50:19
Now I'm curious. I'm curious, what did you learn?
Kimberley Valerie 50:23
Me?
Andrea Crisp 50:24
Yeah!
Kimberley Valerie 50:25
Oh, I have a whole podcast on it, honey, it is gigantic.
Andrea Crisp 50:31
Like, she's like teasing with that.
Kimberley Valerie 50:33
I have recorded it in my private Facebook group, and then I have a, my husband and I have a podcast together. And he, I am recording it and releasing it in that because it was pretty powerful was pretty powerful.
Jessica Jovanovich 50:47
So stay tuned.
Andrea Crisp 50:48
Yeah, I was like talking about a story...
Jessica Jovanovich 50:51
I want to...
Andrea Crisp 50:52
Right there!
Jessica Jovanovich 50:52
I want to say something with what you said, Kimberley, because I think that's so key, like just this. If someone's listening to this podcast, you're already in the habit of wanting to understand yourself better. You're wanting to increase your awareness, and that journey is never done. It's not like all of a sudden you're there, and it's perfect. It's like this beautiful little practice of like, "Let's capture my attention. Oh, I'm curious about that, oh, I'm gonna lean into it." Like, that's what, that's what transformation is all about. It's these little, these little steps done. Even if you have this cosmic wake up call, it's still these little steps that create the transformation. So you're, you're on your path, you're on your path.
Tyler Ranalla 51:30
That's it. This is called The Couragecast, right? And I think any, any transition in life always begins with a question: Could this be different? And sometimes the most courage you can have is just asking that question. And if you all you're, you are already in that space, of exploring, and that just listening to this is an act of immense courage.
Andrea Crisp 51:55
And what you guys didn't realize is I'm actually interviewing you for, to become the host of The Couragecast.
Jessica Jovanovich 52:03
I'm in! Oh, wait, did I make it?
Andrea Crisp 52:04
200th episode, guess what, new host!
Tyler Ranalla 52:06
By ourselves?
Andrea Crisp 52:08
Yeah!
Jessica Jovanovich 52:09
No one else could ever host this, Andrea, we need you. We need you to guide us all along.
Andrea Crisp 52:15
Thank you. You know, it was so funny, I was thinking about, you know, where I've been, you know, you know, when you get to a milestone in life, you obviously look back, right. And the importance of, you know, looking at this sourcing from the future, for me, also looks back at episode one. And also the year before episode one, when I had this idea to have a podcast, and an idea in my mind of how I wanted to, you know, empower other people, and how to share stories of women who are overcoming these immense odds in their life, and how things have shifted and changed in 200 episodes, because obviously, I've shifted and changed in 200 episodes.
Andrea Crisp 53:02
And the stories, some of them are very similar to one another, but yet, so very different, because it's lived experience from somebody who is telling their story. And who is, you know, having that awareness, as you guys have mentioned, and, and being intentional with our lives. And I think that's the beautiful part about when you think about sourcing, you know, from the future, it's like, you realize that every step of courage that you have to take in your life, is because at the end of, you're actually making the decisions from the future, from yourself in the future. And, and right now you get to live in the present, but you can either access from the past, or you can access from the future. And when we're accessing always from the past, we are probably going to be making decisions that are not going to bring us into that courageous place. But when we're taking action from the future, it's going to help us to say, "Okay, yeah, I can get there. I can take one more step. I can keep moving forward." And when I think about you know, like, what is beyond the 200th episode, like, do I have any more? I think Alex and I talked about this in in the 200th episode, which you're gonna hear on the 22nd. But it's all about like, is there more like, do I have anything else left to say? And, and I wonder about that sometimes, like, I wonder like, how much more growth is there? And I want, I want to ask you guys that question. And I want you to just to speak into that for yourselves even, like when you think about your own life, and how much more there is for you, what would you say, and I'm not going to ask anybody specifically to jump in this time. I'm going to let you so whoever wants to go.
Tyler Ranalla 54:50
I love this question so much, and it goes back to what we said about that. Like, you know if you have this power inside of you, that is in some way not you, you have a connection to something that is limitless. Like life is progressive, it is forever evolving. And you have that wonderful choice to continually grow and expand, and there, there is never a stop to it. Like forever available and expansive.
Andrea Crisp 55:32
Yeah, that's good.
Jessica Jovanovich 55:33
You know, I love that. And I want to clarify one thing, because it's like, how much more is there? This isn't about to dos. This isn't about the grind. This isn't about the work. This isn't about earning your worthiness, earning your worth, becoming enough. This is, this sourcing from the future is this limit, limitless, beautiful, expansive place. And, you know, when we are in alignment, we're primed for max expansion, and frankly, life would be freaking boring, if not. Like how would we want to play this game of life if there was like, "Alright, already at the end? There you go. You passed. Go, you got $200. You're at the end of the Candyland slide." Like all those things. You're like, "Well, I was fun." Like, that's not fun. We want more expansion. And who is it that. I just heard Tony Robbins say this, like, "If you're not progressing? You're not what was the it's like, you're not happy? You're not alive, you don't feel alive..."
Tyler Ranalla 56:23
Not growing, you're dying?
Jessica Jovanovich 56:24
Yeah, it's like people are progressing, and intentionally putting their mind to progress -- are fulfilled. That's where our fulfillment is found, because we are becoming more of who we already are. We're discovering who we already are. And we do have this choice where we can make decisions in our life based on limitation of the past, or we can tap into the unlimited possibility of the future. And every day, we get to decide which direction do we want to go! And the expansion -- do that, it's like way more fun!! So, I, to answer fully your question now I think, never ending, just keep going well, it feels good. And just be on this journey of discovering, showing up more authentically, more real. And you'll notice how your whole like soul just continually expands beyond what it was, you know, on episode one, episode 200, episode 2000. Well, I'm inviting myself back, we'll be here episode 2000, Andrea.
Andrea Crisp 57:20
I better be recording every day for that.
Kimberley Valerie 57:24
I think the one, two things that keep coming up to me is like, don't try not to be in a state of conclusion. A fixated state of conclusion, where you think, you might think, this is it? Instead, it's, again comes back to that curiosity, that explorative kind of question is like, what else is possible? That I haven't experienced that I'm not aware of, that I haven't entertained. You know, again, it pairs with what Tyler and Jessica said, it's, it's not about reaching a destination. It's really just the continued expansion for creating a life that you love now, in the moment where you're feeling fulfilled, that you're making an impact, if that's what you're drawn to and influence and all those kinds of things. I think the removal of conclusion is really the beginning of the expansion and being that that curious state.
Tyler Ranalla 58:21
Love that.
Jessica Jovanovich 58:21
That's so good. That's so good.
Andrea Crisp 58:24
These are like I mean, I don't even know what to do with all this. This is so good. That's it's kind of blowing my mind, right? Not that I'm, not that I'm surprised I asked you guys on here for a reason. I knew that I was going to get this kind of magic. So I do appreciate it.
Kimberley Valerie 58:37
Okay, so can we go on a speaking tour together? Should we should be?
Andrea Crisp 58:41
Yeah. Live retreat?
Kimberley Valerie 58:44
Take the show on the road.
Andrea Crisp 58:48
You know, I think the person that's listening today, whoever is listening to this episode, and however they stumbled upon this particular episode, which is 199. And, you know, maybe you came because you listen to Jessica's podcast, or you're part of Tyler's sphere of influence, or you're in Kimberley's coaching program, and you're listening to this, I want to invite you into this space for yourself to to really source from the future and to know that you already have everything you need right now. And the growth that you're gonna experience is just going to keep going, as each of these amazing humans have said. I feel so honored to have like shared this time with you too, I, when I think about moving forward myself and taking the podcast in even a more expansive direction. I'm so thankful and grateful that I get to do it with you guys, and I love for you guys to leave even just one last thing, you know, morsel, anything that you want to say that you haven't already to share with the audience today?
Andrea Crisp 1:00:10
And there was silence.
Andrea Crisp 1:00:11
You know, I know right?
Andrea Crisp 1:00:13
How in the world are the three you quiet?

I'll go first, is the morsel for the person listening or the people listening? First of all, Andrea, I just want to say what a message of hope, how you explained. And what you said, just prior to this is that I've just really, I started to just feel the hope that you were leaving. And what you're imparting. So this is beautiful. But what I would I what I would always say is, just start being curious. Just start with curiosity. I mean, it seems very simple. It is very simple. It's not easy. But be curious.
Andrea Crisp 1:00:55
Yeah, that's good.
Jessica Jovanovich 1:00:57
All right, I can go next. And yes, I second what Kimberley said, I just was soaking up all of your last words, just in letting them be in my soul, because you just always bring so much hope and soothing, peaceful words, on your podcast. So thank you for that. Mine are some questions. I think if were that I that we can journal on that we can ask ourselves. So it goes right along with that curiosity thing that if we're sourcing from the future, if that's the theme of this podcast, then we got to start thinking a little differently, too, right? And that's really about who are we being? And so we can say, "Who do I need to be to have the things that I desire?" So instead of just trying to be in the same state, and have a different type of life, we can kind of jump into that elevated state, that expansive state and say, "Who do I need to become? Who do I want to become?" And that's like, the most fun question, Who do I want to become if everything's possible, if I'm picking from the possibility of the future, where it's unlimited, who do I want to become? And then really saying, from there, who would I be? What would I do if I already had this outcome I desired, and really dwell in that state on day to day that kind of lets you get out of the previously reinforced pattern of life?
Kimberley Valerie 1:02:11
Yeah.
Andrea Crisp 1:02:11
Hum.
Tyler Ranalla 1:02:13
Nice.
Andrea Crisp 1:02:13
Yeah, that's good.
Jessica Jovanovich 1:02:14
And I love you. I love all the listeners. Can I end that?
Andrea Crisp 1:02:20
Yes, you can.
Tyler Ranalla 1:02:22
Um, I guess the only thing is, as someone starts to really play with sourcing from your future, is to let go of the need to have the answers and the entire roadmap. I think for just, you know, grow, grow where you're planted, to see what's the next right step. And I think the best way to figure out what the next right step is, is just to follow to the joy, I think the language of our intuition is joy, and just look at what's the next thing that could bring joy, and just follow those breadcrumb trails. I think that's how I've sourced from the future is from that feeling of joy, and then just going from there and being available, and trusting, and it's when I have tried to have all the answers that I've had the most resistance. So that's just the last bit I would want to add.
Andrea Crisp 1:03:23
That's good. Oh, man, thanks. You know, it's when I was teaching back in my, I think my second year of teaching, I remember having this moment, and I've shared it on the podcast before, but it's been a while. I remember having this moment, one of my students came in and was playing the guitar, and he was learning and he was getting better and better every time he came into the classroom and would play. And I had this moment when I was sitting there thinking that I wanted to be doing something different with my life. I didn't want to be a high school music teacher. I wanted to be a singer-songwriter, and I want to be on a stage and I wanted to be singing in front of 1000s of people lights on me was the goal. That was the dream. And I remember having this moment, I sat at the piano. I was I feel like I cry every time I think about it. And in the still quiet moment, I had this the voice, this inner voice said to me, if you will invest into your students, you'll have a bigger platform than if you've ever did it on your own.
Andrea Crisp 1:05:07
And I remember thinking, that was the moment, that was the line in the sand for me where I, I said, "Okay, I'm not making this about me anymore. I'm making it about them." And 200 episodes in, and I don't know, if I could have said it any better than Tyler. I think it's about you as a listener, and where you're going in your life, and what you have to offer the world. And as long as I can, I'll keep bringing you episodes and amazing guests like these people here. But one of my gifts that I've known as, as long as I can remember, is not just courage, but is to encourage. And so if I can encourage, I'm going to encourage these three amazing humans. But I want you to hear something for you, because whatever I'm going to say is probably for you, too.
Andrea Crisp 1:06:06
So, Kimberley, I am so grateful and thankful that you are in my life, for your voice, for your uniqueness, and for your ability to see past and beyond what others can see and speak truth, and keep moving things forward. And never, never saying die. But you have this kind of Energize, Energizer Bunny about you where you're gonna keep going and going and going. And I find that so, that quality is so inspiring. And I'm so grateful for you, that you've continued to reach out and to be a friend, and to be a mentor and a coach. And I just want to say thank you.
Kimberley Valerie 1:06:52
Thank you.
Andrea Crisp 1:06:52
And, Jessica, I want to say thank you for continuing to impart wisdom into my life, for leading and guiding in such a beautiful and magnetic way, showing me what is possible. And I'm continually inspired by your life. And so I want to thank you.
Andrea Crisp 1:07:15
And Tyler, for your ability to draw people in with such a kind heart, and to speak words of wisdom in a way that don't, that doesn't feel like it's forceful. It just feels like it's so beautiful. And it's holding space for others in such a wonderful, wonderful way. And so I want to encourage the three of you as you go out, and do amazing things and take brave steps in your own life that everyone listening can do the same. And I'm so grateful to have you on the 190th episode of The Courage cast.

Jessica Jovanovich 1:08:20

Andrea Crisp 1:08:22
Me too. Me too. I kind of knew I was like, I'm like, there's going to be magic to happen. I feel like in the past couple episodes, I've just come in with an openness for this magic. And magic has happened each and every time and I'm, I, even though I said it on, you know, the recording, but I am truly grateful and honored to have you. And I'm grateful that you're in my life and honored that you're in my life. So, I just want to honor what you do in the world. And say thank you.
