Transcript

00:00:02.810 --> 00:00:08.269
Lindsay Ford: Well, I am very excited to have diamond drip here today. Welcome to the podcast diamond.

2
00:00:08.510 --> 00:00:10.790
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Thank you for having me. I'm excited.

3
00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:19.990
Lindsay Ford: Now. I want to start with your story. We're going to keep it. Career focused today because you have a journey from a bricks and mortar business

4
00:00:20.110 --> 00:00:36.989
Lindsay Ford: to a business coaching, realignment practitioner. You're into all sorts of fun, energy stuff. So I'd love for you to take us through your your career journey of when you started. I don't know if there's anything before your bricks and mortar business, but take us on. Take us on the journey.

5
00:00:37.270 --> 00:00:46.729
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah, for sure. So the product based business that I started. It was after I lost my job as the general manager of a gym.

6
00:00:47.230 --> 00:00:48.690
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and

7
00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:49.820
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: that

8
00:00:50.200 --> 00:01:12.740
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I don't think I would have ever thought about entrepreneurship before that point. But I was getting sick and tired of, you know, trying to make the system work, how it was designed, which was like, go to school, get good grades, get a good job, because obviously, even when you have a good job. You can lose that job due to circumstances outside of your control.

9
00:01:12.890 --> 00:01:21.330
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: So I was like, Okay, well, since I want to take the power back into my hands. I'm going to figure out how to how to do this thing, and

10
00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:33.230
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I had no idea where to start or how to start, but somehow I did enough research. I guess my one line came out. I did enough research. And

11
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:39.629
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I was like, Okay, I think you've researched all you can. It's time to just, you know, launch this bad boy.

12
00:01:41.110 --> 00:01:49.280
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and I did. And that 1st that 1st debut was, I'll be honest, very affordable. But I learned a lot.

13
00:01:50.050 --> 00:01:59.440
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I learned a lot, and despite how I started, that business grew very successfully. And so

14
00:02:00.227 --> 00:02:01.870
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I was having

15
00:02:02.290 --> 00:02:03.930
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: a lot of

16
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:13.659
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: creativity that wanted to come out. The 1st business that I had was very much straightforward. It was. You have the product. You assign the profit margin, and then

17
00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:15.750
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: that's the cost like that's

18
00:02:15.810 --> 00:02:18.409
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you can be creative with sales, you can.

19
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:20.920
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: creative with marketing. But

20
00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:30.989
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: there's not really a lot of space, or at least for me it wasn't. And so at the same time that I started my 1st business. I was also in school, getting my visual communications degree.

21
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:46.910
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and so I launched my side business like my second business as a side hustle. So I was doing like graphic design, making Logos you know, doing websites, etc. And that allowed me to use what I was learning in school

22
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:57.099
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: in a really practical matter cause not everyone has that skill set, and I learned that because I would be working with clients. Sometimes they're like, Oh, you just do this thing. And they're like, I have no idea what you did. So

23
00:02:57.350 --> 00:02:59.120
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it's not just.

24
00:02:59.120 --> 00:02:59.570
Lindsay Ford: Magic.

25
00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:02.279
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Right, I'm like, Oh, it was, you know.

26
00:03:02.956 --> 00:03:04.190
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And so

27
00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:16.500
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I was growing both businesses concurrently while being in school and then also being a mom of a toddler, which, as you know.

28
00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:18.790
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: is it John.

29
00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:19.630
Lindsay Ford: Purple! Oh.

30
00:03:19.650 --> 00:03:29.930
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Right is a job of its very own, and I was rapidly burning out. It felt like I could never take a day off. It felt like I could never be

31
00:03:30.160 --> 00:03:37.620
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: with Taylor. That's my daughter's name. It felt like I could never spend like quality time with her, with my partner like it was.

32
00:03:37.910 --> 00:03:41.499
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it was really starting to drain me, and

33
00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:50.859
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I wanted a solution to the the root cause, which was the feelings that I was having. The depression, the

34
00:03:51.594 --> 00:03:53.969
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: trying to prove myself

35
00:03:54.170 --> 00:03:57.000
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: by these external measures like

36
00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:07.100
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I can't quit any one of them, because then I won't be able to say I'm running 2 businesses while being a student and a mom. And people see that. And they're like, Oh, you're so strong. And they're these.

37
00:04:07.100 --> 00:04:07.900
Lindsay Ford: Right.

38
00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:13.209
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Labels that you like. If I give any one of them up, then it's like I'm I'm.

39
00:04:13.790 --> 00:04:14.520
Lindsay Ford: Not as cool.

40
00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:16.029
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Right or

41
00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:28.169
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and so I wanted to get to the root of that problem that not enough problem. And so I participated in a trial that actually healed my depression.

42
00:04:28.380 --> 00:04:35.230
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and they used psilocybin, which is the active component in magic mushrooms to actually help me

43
00:04:35.330 --> 00:04:39.530
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: rewrite those old stories that I was telling myself from

44
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.799
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: trauma that has been discussed in plenty of other podcast interviews.

45
00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:47.200
Lindsay Ford: Don't have to dive into that.

46
00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:58.099
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And it was with clear eyes after that trial that I took a look at my life, and I was like, Oh, my gosh! Something has to change like you gotta

47
00:04:58.390 --> 00:05:02.139
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you gotta do something because you're not supposed to feel like

48
00:05:02.170 --> 00:05:07.363
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you're a slave to these businesses, to this life that you created you created this

49
00:05:10.196 --> 00:05:19.320
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and they say, never make any big changes after you go through a hero. Dose experience with psilocybin

50
00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:31.350
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and I adhered to that. So about 8 months after my trial ended, while I was very much in the integration phase. Still, on this personal development journey.

51
00:05:31.777 --> 00:05:40.549
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I actually ended up shutting down my 1st business, the product based business that was paying all of the bills. And I took a look at

52
00:05:40.590 --> 00:05:49.129
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: what I liked from that business what I liked, from what I was doing with my side business, which was, interestingly enough, a lot of coaching

53
00:05:49.380 --> 00:05:59.819
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: because I had to coach business owners to understand their niche, to understand their messaging in order for me to create something visual to represent that.

54
00:06:00.140 --> 00:06:11.960
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And so I I said, Okay, why don't I do a coaching model instead? Because that seems to be the thing that I love helping people get through these

55
00:06:12.747 --> 00:06:22.579
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: challenges that they're going through. And I started my online business. And that put me like face to face

56
00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:29.680
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: with so many things because I it made me realize that in the product based business like

57
00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:35.209
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you don't really have to think about like your self-worth or anything. You just kinda

58
00:06:36.170 --> 00:06:42.379
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: have the product. And it's you show up. And people like it, or they don't. There's read like, there's this whole thing.

59
00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:46.960
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: But when I entered this online coaching space, people buy you

60
00:06:47.090 --> 00:06:49.760
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: before they buy anything

61
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.330
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you have.

62
00:06:52.640 --> 00:07:04.499
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and that that forced me to really get triggered and and actually start living in one of my shadows. Which is this need for external validation.

63
00:07:05.350 --> 00:07:09.760
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And so I joined a business coaching program that promised to fix

64
00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:15.540
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: all of that with the proven methods and the frameworks, and you follow these steps and

65
00:07:16.328 --> 00:07:19.540
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you'll have success. You'll have the launches.

66
00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:28.130
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And I remember it was a year long program. I remember seeing it work for everyone else around me, but it wasn't working for me.

67
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:29.750
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and

68
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:38.020
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I remember, you know, making myself wrong for it and trying to really, desperately figure out like what my business superpower was.

69
00:07:38.250 --> 00:07:46.510
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: because that was the one thing that they all were harping on, and it seemed like that was maybe the thing that I didn't have that everyone else had.

70
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.649
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: which was why they were having success, and

71
00:07:49.720 --> 00:08:02.070
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: throughout my life my everyone around me has said that, like your energy, is infectious, it's contagious, even through my depression, because we know how to put on masks that.

72
00:08:02.510 --> 00:08:05.350
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you know. Convince everyone that we're fine and

73
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:13.370
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I was like, but I can't monetize energy like I can't teach people how to have my energy. I can't.

74
00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:19.479
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I don't know how. That's my superpower, necessarily, but that's the one thing that everyone

75
00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:20.929
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: talks about.

76
00:08:21.070 --> 00:08:21.909
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and

77
00:08:23.230 --> 00:08:31.850
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: a couple months into trying to figure out what this superpower was. I was asked a really critical question.

78
00:08:31.870 --> 00:08:35.269
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: which was, Do you know your energy type.

79
00:08:35.450 --> 00:08:39.140
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and I had no idea what she was talking about.

80
00:08:40.113 --> 00:08:44.840
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: But I she sent me a calculator, and I the one immediately

81
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:47.510
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: kicked in. And I was like, Okay, what is?

82
00:08:48.479 --> 00:08:51.839
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: The calculator said that I was a generator

83
00:08:51.900 --> 00:08:56.729
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: in human design. 5, 1 emotional authority and every

84
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:04.069
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: research rabbit hole that I went down to figure out what these things meant in in layman's terms.

85
00:09:04.190 --> 00:09:14.740
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: It was like, Oh, my gosh, this is me! This is, it feels like someone has been just looking at my life and is able to verbalize what is happening.

86
00:09:14.890 --> 00:09:25.250
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And even though I didn't know how it was, gonna tie into what I was doing with my business coaching clients. I was like, this is something that

87
00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:30.789
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I feel like is needed. I feel like people need to know who they are

88
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:39.840
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: like truly, how they show up in the world, so that they can make the most out of their gifts and really bring them into whatever business they're creating.

89
00:09:40.170 --> 00:09:41.570
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And so

90
00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:59.769
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: that kind of launched the pivot from business coach into more of the the spiritual things, and as I deepen my own insight through human design and gene keys, and found these other tools like you mentioned the Akashic records

91
00:09:59.900 --> 00:10:11.630
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I now get to help the clients that I was helping and any new clients that come to me for business and branding insights with these tools so that we can really create

92
00:10:11.770 --> 00:10:15.739
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: strong brand identity, strong online presence.

93
00:10:15.830 --> 00:10:20.830
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: That's not gonna change. Because when we when we're focused on

94
00:10:21.780 --> 00:10:31.989
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: like what we think we should be doing like that's gonna change as the trends change. And then your whole brand changes, and people need brands that stick.

95
00:10:33.890 --> 00:10:38.734
Lindsay Ford: So funny in the context of our pre-recording conversation. Where I'm like, my brand is just shifting.

96
00:10:39.020 --> 00:10:44.849
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: No, no, no, no, but that's what happens, because, as we evolve and we grow.

97
00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:51.109
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: our brands can grow with us. But if you create a strong brand in the in the beginning, like it won't.

98
00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:53.070
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it won't.

99
00:10:53.860 --> 00:11:02.560
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: The message will still be the same. It may just look a little bit different. So that's that. I totally remembered our Pre podcast chat. But no, it's

100
00:11:02.780 --> 00:11:15.340
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I love your brand. And I love that the one thing that stuck through with each of the shifts was like you like you. It was through Momming. It was through like it was

101
00:11:15.420 --> 00:11:16.913
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: clearly you.

102
00:11:17.660 --> 00:11:36.849
Lindsay Ford: Oh, I appreciate that, because it's still like a massive work in progress. But I want to go back to what you were saying about when you were talking about. You know, you own 2 businesses. You were in school. You're a mom. And just that being part of your identity and people commenting of like, how strong you are, probably how capable you are like. Wow! Look at you!

103
00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:40.310
Lindsay Ford: And letting go of

104
00:11:40.330 --> 00:11:42.419
Lindsay Ford: those pieces that

105
00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:59.550
Lindsay Ford: from like with that external validation. I can totally relate to some of that, because when you get really great external validation, it feels really good. And you're like, Oh, I'm on the right track, and when those things solidify into your identity

106
00:12:00.715 --> 00:12:02.590
Lindsay Ford: it becomes really.

107
00:12:02.730 --> 00:12:12.789
Lindsay Ford: I'll say, difficult to shake. But it just becomes another belief system we got to work through because your success was not defined by any one of those things, or doing all 4 of those things combined.

108
00:12:13.293 --> 00:12:16.599
Lindsay Ford: It's and and I know I went through.

109
00:12:17.342 --> 00:12:38.559
Lindsay Ford: A similar. It wasn't similar, actually. But like, I'll say, a similar identity shift. The context was completely different of just like, who am I? If I'm not, you know, like in a successful career. Who am I? If I'm not earning 6 figures, who am I? If I'm only a stay at home, mom, like, I just like there's so many

110
00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:40.860
Lindsay Ford: pieces like where you really

111
00:12:41.010 --> 00:12:50.590
Lindsay Ford: start to notice where you're attached to your identity. And then because it's not necessarily serving you. Some of the identities are great, or the things that you really identify with. But

112
00:12:50.630 --> 00:12:51.800
Lindsay Ford: a lot of it

113
00:12:51.870 --> 00:12:57.659
Lindsay Ford: is just another belief system that's holding you back in some areas.

114
00:12:59.400 --> 00:13:03.613
Lindsay Ford: you mentioned that, you know, shifting from you.

115
00:13:04.210 --> 00:13:12.370
Lindsay Ford: You've mentioned shifting from your product based business dropping that completely. That was sort of your highest income at that point.

116
00:13:12.660 --> 00:13:22.179
Lindsay Ford: What was going through your mind and your thought process at that point, as you're walking away from what I'm guessing was, you know.

117
00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:25.310
Lindsay Ford: you know, some security there with the money you were making.

118
00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:28.220
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah. So

119
00:13:29.070 --> 00:13:33.259
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: one of the things that was going through my mind was that was the

120
00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:48.340
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: graphic design I could do from anywhere but that business. It was very much in person. It was very much requiring a lot of me being there, taking the calls, you know, having the conversations with people.

121
00:13:48.770 --> 00:13:50.290
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And

122
00:13:50.950 --> 00:13:51.700
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it

123
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.850
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it didn't feel freeing anymore. Like, I started that business like just before Covid.

124
00:13:59.060 --> 00:14:01.450
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: so 2020 19.

125
00:14:01.660 --> 00:14:04.739
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And because of

126
00:14:05.750 --> 00:14:10.520
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: a previous job that I had. I was considered like an essential.

127
00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:12.139
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: It's 1 of my side

128
00:14:12.510 --> 00:14:15.989
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: businesses that I had. I was considered an essential

129
00:14:16.050 --> 00:14:32.970
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: worker, and so that gave me the freedom to like move about during the pandemic. And so that was kind of freeing because there wasn't traffic. There wasn't, and I was helping people. But then, as things started to really clear up, it was like, Okay, this is really starting to take a toll you really can't

130
00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:36.040
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: like. I said I wasn't having no quality time

131
00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:39.910
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: with my daughter, with my partner. And

132
00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:47.380
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: even though it was definitely scary to have the realization of like, okay, well.

133
00:14:47.430 --> 00:14:53.049
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: this other business, because so many times we want to wait until the other business is up and running. But

134
00:14:53.110 --> 00:14:58.989
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I had to take an honest look, and I was like, well, if I'm spending all my time over here, this isn't gonna get my full focus.

135
00:14:59.020 --> 00:15:04.889
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: This isn't gonna get the attention that it deserves to help me get it off the ground as quickly as possible.

136
00:15:05.130 --> 00:15:11.840
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: If I'm spending all my time over here and just giving this like bits and pieces. I was like. I have to free up

137
00:15:12.630 --> 00:15:21.670
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: me. I have to free up and start over, even though it may be scary, but I have to do it because this deserves all of my attention.

138
00:15:22.910 --> 00:15:26.240
Lindsay Ford: Yeah, that makes complete sense to me. I did

139
00:15:26.810 --> 00:15:28.560
Lindsay Ford: something similar.

140
00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:29.940
Lindsay Ford: And

141
00:15:30.290 --> 00:15:33.369
Lindsay Ford: yeah, I think you're right. A lot of people want to

142
00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:53.380
Lindsay Ford: either build it to success or have sort of a guaranteed success plan, and forgetting that, you know, to stay where they are or to split their focus, means that they're just sort of prolonging the agony of staying stuck in a life that they really don't want, or at least aspects of a life that they really don't want.

143
00:15:53.560 --> 00:15:55.269
Lindsay Ford: and I think it takes

144
00:15:56.005 --> 00:16:03.380
Lindsay Ford: I'll say, a tremendous amount of courage to step into the unknown and that unknown path, and going towards something you want.

145
00:16:03.730 --> 00:16:10.150
Lindsay Ford: But it's not. I'll say I'll say tremendous courage, because I know I do know what it takes, but it also

146
00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:12.209
Lindsay Ford: I don't think

147
00:16:12.450 --> 00:16:20.364
Lindsay Ford: that I mean, I think everyone can has the capacity to do that. And there's so much

148
00:16:21.030 --> 00:16:26.030
Lindsay Ford: in terms of the limiting beliefs and the identity and the fear that comes up, and

149
00:16:26.330 --> 00:16:38.139
Lindsay Ford: that prevents people from walking towards what they want. They would rather stay stuck in a life that is miserable where they're not seeing their kids. They don't have enough quality time with their partner because of the security of money.

150
00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:46.310
Lindsay Ford: and they don't necessarily look at. They look at the risk of taking that step forward, but they don't take a look at the risk of staying stuck

151
00:16:46.490 --> 00:16:47.749
Lindsay Ford: where they are.

152
00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:52.100
Lindsay Ford: so I'd love to dive into what you

153
00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:59.630
Lindsay Ford: do now in terms of like I I'm curious when people sort of move

154
00:17:00.210 --> 00:17:02.549
Lindsay Ford: from. I guess I'll say more tangible.

155
00:17:02.550 --> 00:17:02.980
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Businesses.

156
00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:15.340
Lindsay Ford: Into more of the spiritual realm. And you said you were introduced to human design. And then gene codes and Akashic record. So I'm wondering if you might just like explain

157
00:17:16.101 --> 00:17:18.350
Lindsay Ford: what those 3 things are is, you know.

158
00:17:18.790 --> 00:17:30.190
Lindsay Ford: Concisely as as we can, just to give a little snippet, because I'm familiar with. I am not familiar with gene codes, but the other ones I am. But yeah, why don't we start with some? I'll say definitions.

159
00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:36.500
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah. So human design is a synthesis of a bunch of different sciences. So

160
00:17:36.560 --> 00:17:57.320
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: to name a few for context, it's like astrology, astronomy, quantum physics, the Chinese, I ching the Chakra model kabolatry of life. And so what it does is it looks at these different sciences, and it creates what's called a body graph chart, where they all kind of map out over each other, and they, the shape

161
00:17:57.460 --> 00:18:16.939
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: behind most generated calculators is a person. It looks like a person, and then you have, like the 9 energy centers. And this gives you a map of how your energy flows, how you were designed to make your best, most aligned decisions based on the gifts and things that you're seeing defined in the chart.

162
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:28.840
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And so it's a really practical way of getting to know that inner voice inside of you, so that you don't have to second. Guess yourself with all of the outside noise that comes into the

163
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:30.610
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: the energy centers.

164
00:18:30.690 --> 00:18:32.240
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Gene Keys

165
00:18:32.710 --> 00:18:38.650
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: takes a closer look at the Chinese, I Ching and the quantum physics piece.

166
00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:45.509
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Every single one of the 64 gene keys corresponds to a gate in human design.

167
00:18:45.800 --> 00:19:06.999
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: But in gene keys it looks at the different frequencies. It takes a look at the quantum like we're all vibrating. We're all energy. And so it takes a look at like the lower energies, the gift, and the higher. You know, everything's aligning. We're moving towards our purpose, and abundance has that frequency.

168
00:19:07.270 --> 00:19:14.599
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and it gives you insight into areas where you've lived in those lower frequencies.

169
00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:16.100
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and it

170
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:32.870
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: prompts you to think about and contemplate how you could have stepped into the gift frequencies, because hindsight is always 2020 in the moment when we're living in the shadows, we make decisions. And we're like this was the best option, but when we have some space it's like, No, I guess I could have.

171
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:49.919
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you know, shifted my perspective there a little bit. And so Gene Keys gives you kind of some tools to work through that contemplation. And then the Akashic records I found more recently. I'm still getting certified and being a soul realignment practitioner for that.

172
00:19:50.040 --> 00:19:52.439
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: But this looks at

173
00:19:53.230 --> 00:19:56.770
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: if you're especially if you're a believer in past lifetimes.

174
00:19:56.860 --> 00:20:05.140
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: when our soul was created, there was this divine soul, blueprint kind of laid out for us, and of course we have free will.

175
00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:10.200
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: so we can always choose to make positive choices that move us along our path.

176
00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:28.370
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: or we can choose to make negative choices out of fear or scarcity, or whatever those lower frequencies are that take us farther away from our path. And so the Akashic records takes a look at those choices that may have knocked you out of alignment so that you can really start to

177
00:20:28.550 --> 00:20:35.529
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: kind of self-correct and get back on the path that is actually aligned for you, that it's actually moving you towards joy and fulfillment.

178
00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:41.269
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And it takes a look at, because, you know, time doesn't exist in the 5th dimension, and that's

179
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:42.200
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Akasha.

180
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:43.179
Lindsay Ford: A whole other conversation.

181
00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:57.299
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Right? That's a whole other conversation. But it really takes you past those, through those past lifetimes and helps you really self identify some key areas where you can kind of shift into positive.

182
00:20:57.620 --> 00:21:00.200
Lindsay Ford: Yeah. And it sounds like all 3 of them are really.

183
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.780
Lindsay Ford: I'll say, building on each other, but are all like

184
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.663
Lindsay Ford: coming in with the

185
00:21:08.130 --> 00:21:19.339
Lindsay Ford: I guess. Idea or map blueprint that you know we have a predetermined plan. And yes, there's free will. But there's a plan. That is it sort of that our soul

186
00:21:19.470 --> 00:21:27.120
Lindsay Ford: is designed to take. And I know for human design. It's based on your birth, your birth, time, and and birth date.

187
00:21:27.250 --> 00:21:29.958
Lindsay Ford: And you and I actually have

188
00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:38.950
Lindsay Ford: the same human, the the ones that you mentioned, anyways, the generator, 5. 1 emotional generator.

189
00:21:39.450 --> 00:21:40.020
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I love that.

190
00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:41.330
Lindsay Ford: So serendipitous.

191
00:21:42.075 --> 00:21:46.195
Lindsay Ford: So I am curious because you mentioned

192
00:21:47.070 --> 00:22:02.470
Lindsay Ford: you know, when you started finding human design, I think was your first.st What were the specific pieces that it unlocked for you? Do you remember, like where your Aha moments were when you started to learn about these identity pieces?

193
00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:07.769
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah, absolutely. So. One of the 1st ones was the generator. So

194
00:22:07.930 --> 00:22:18.659
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: understanding that when I'm doing something that I love, when I'm excited about something. That's what brings the energy that people love and want to be around.

195
00:22:18.810 --> 00:22:29.009
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And it does pour out of me into the things that I'm doing. So I was like, Okay, that that's an Aha, because I was really getting frustrated with people, you know.

196
00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:39.579
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: talking about my energy. And I'm like, I don't know what that means, though, and this kind of gave it a meaning. It was like, Oh, no, it's not something outside of you. It's literally something that comes

197
00:22:39.620 --> 00:22:48.619
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: from you that other people can feel. And to that point emotional authority. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2

198
00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:50.320
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: when I was 14,

199
00:22:50.490 --> 00:23:01.929
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and so bipolar 2 disorder. It operates in waves as well. You have really low lows, and then you have like a little bit of high, and then you go back to really low lows, and that's what

200
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:05.799
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: keeps you in that kind of depressed state that the clinical trial

201
00:23:06.260 --> 00:23:07.540
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: help me heal

202
00:23:08.130 --> 00:23:13.979
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: learning that I had emotional authority in human design and learning that

203
00:23:14.300 --> 00:23:42.150
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it's actually aligned for us to ride those waves to really come to clarity over things like you're not always going to make a decision when everything's like super exciting. And it's a yes, you're not always going to make decisions when you're in a low. It's actually aligned for you, especially with the big ones like relationships career. If you're about to move to really take your time and figure out like, okay, this is right for me. This feels

204
00:23:42.180 --> 00:23:43.490
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: right for me

205
00:23:43.580 --> 00:23:50.719
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: versus making myself wrong for the up and down waves that I had with bipolar 2. So that was an Aha!

206
00:23:51.070 --> 00:23:57.931
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And then my profile. I bring it up because more for the one, the one line

207
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:07.440
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: the biggest Aha that I had was that as one lines, we love a good rabbit hole. We love to do a lot of research.

208
00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:12.419
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and we have to be careful of that sometimes, because we can research

209
00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:22.069
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: all the way. You know we can dig ourselves a real hole if we wanted to, but if we do that, then we'll never feel. If we keep digging, we'll never feel ready

210
00:24:22.280 --> 00:24:26.125
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: to bring the information like, what are we researching for.

211
00:24:26.520 --> 00:24:29.040
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: if not to share it right.

212
00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:35.430
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: like some stuff you want to learn for you. But then, once you learn something and it changes something for you, you want to share it.

213
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:46.840
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And so that that note about, you know one lines being careful not to hold themselves back from sharing, because there's always this

214
00:24:47.100 --> 00:24:52.759
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: other thing that they could be learning, or this other certification right? Especially if you have a

215
00:24:52.810 --> 00:24:57.410
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: open or undefined heart center like another certification, you could be getting

216
00:24:57.893 --> 00:25:02.559
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: so that was those were really big Aha's, because these were all areas that

217
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:05.900
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you know I made myself wrong, for

218
00:25:06.110 --> 00:25:10.200
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: in the past, and I'm like, no, this is me. This is how I was designed. These are.

219
00:25:10.390 --> 00:25:12.370
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: This is my blueprint, like.

220
00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:14.979
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I don't need to change anything.

221
00:25:15.610 --> 00:25:17.429
Lindsay Ford: Yeah, that's amazing cause.

222
00:25:17.620 --> 00:25:20.129
Lindsay Ford: Yeah, so often we beat ourselves up

223
00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:31.250
Lindsay Ford: thinking a certain way, or acting a certain way or going through these emotional waves. The emotional wave thing was huge for me, understanding that I need to ride both the ups and the downs. And now

224
00:25:31.380 --> 00:25:49.250
Lindsay Ford: I use that, I'll say, almost every day, but like quite a bit, even especially in relationships of just like, you know what I'm I'm not in a position to discuss this or get back to you like, I just, I need to ride this fully. And people are just like, well, tell me how you're feeling how you're reacting. I'm like, no.

225
00:25:49.250 --> 00:25:50.020
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: So I.

226
00:25:50.020 --> 00:26:07.410
Lindsay Ford: Need to ride this completely. I'm like I will get back to you. I will share. I'm not afraid of this conversation. But like, yeah, I need to fully go through the highs and the lows. And that's something I didn't understand before I try to respond, either in the high or the low, and I'd wonder like. And then then I would second guess myself because I was like.

227
00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:12.969
Lindsay Ford: you know, was I wrong to do that? And now I just understand, like I just need to ride those waves. And then

228
00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:19.000
Lindsay Ford: I don't second guess myself as much anymore, because I've experienced the full, you know.

229
00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:23.170
Lindsay Ford: range of emotions that I can't go through in any decision.

230
00:26:24.020 --> 00:26:24.720
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yes.

231
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:25.639
Lindsay Ford: Oh,

232
00:26:26.730 --> 00:26:31.570
Lindsay Ford: The the generator thing I just want to share for me.

233
00:26:32.250 --> 00:26:37.599
Lindsay Ford: It was so helpful for me to understand that I was a generator and that I was.

234
00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:57.880
Lindsay Ford: I needed to. I need something to react to. I couldn't just like create from a space of nothingness. I needed to be out there, living my life, to have content to write about, to have perspectives. You know you, you said people love your energy, and you never understood really what that meant. People have always said, I love your perspective, and I'm like.

235
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.071
Lindsay Ford: I don't. I don't understand what that means.

236
00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:05.469
Lindsay Ford: but I also now know that I need to be.

237
00:27:05.710 --> 00:27:24.949
Lindsay Ford: I can't. You know one of the things in my business like I work from home a lot like I am by myself a lot, and when I am by myself a lot I can't. I can't essentially do my business. I can't create content. I can't share my perspective, because I have nothing to react to. I have nothing like sort of, you know, sparking that creativity. So

238
00:27:25.070 --> 00:27:32.030
Lindsay Ford: yeah, it's so helpful. Once you understand these little pieces. Because before, when I didn't understand, I'm like, why can't I come up with ideas? Because

239
00:27:32.260 --> 00:27:43.720
Lindsay Ford: there were times when I was just like brimming with ideas? And just, you know, like I couldn't keep the ideas out of me. And then that all stopped. And I'm like, what's going on like. Normally, I'm so full of ideas. But

240
00:27:43.890 --> 00:27:54.030
Lindsay Ford: but yeah, with this knowledge of the generator like being a generator, I'm like, Oh, now I know when I go out and do fun things and just experience life and interact with people. That's when I get all my ideas.

241
00:27:54.140 --> 00:28:01.714
Lindsay Ford: So yeah, super super fun. There was something that I wanted to circle back to and

242
00:28:02.630 --> 00:28:04.760
Lindsay Ford: just trying to remember what it is.

243
00:28:08.390 --> 00:28:09.389
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I want to ask you a question.

244
00:28:09.390 --> 00:28:10.459
Lindsay Ford: And if it doesn't come

245
00:28:11.410 --> 00:28:17.500
Lindsay Ford: okay, it came so and then and then, yeah, for sure, ask me a question. When you were

246
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:29.970
Lindsay Ford: you just sort of alluded to something, and I don't know if I'm so I just want to ask about the coaching program that you went in where you said. There's all the frameworks and all of the blueprints.

247
00:28:30.415 --> 00:28:40.139
Lindsay Ford: You also said at the beginning of your product, based business that you know. It was a horrible start, and then it ultimately was successful. And I feel like a lot of the times people don't talk about

248
00:28:41.660 --> 00:28:53.519
Lindsay Ford: I'll say the stumbling blocks, or you know, when they're trying to get into a business, you want to follow a proven plan because there's security in that. But this is something that I've actually struggled with throughout the last.

249
00:28:53.540 --> 00:29:20.470
Lindsay Ford: you know. Let's call it 8 years, as I've been evolving through my different businesses. Because how much do you follow? Sort of the proven path versus how much do you venture out on your own? It's been like this back and forth thing. So I'm curious to know your experience with the proven methods versus you know, really tuning into that those different aspects of yourself, like the human design, like the gene codes, like the akashographic records in terms of like being true to your authentic self.

250
00:29:21.230 --> 00:29:29.470
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah, I love. I love that. You actually put those 2 side by side because I see a lot now where fear played into my

251
00:29:29.530 --> 00:29:37.910
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: decision to go into the business coaching program. I let my mind convince me that it was for the support and all of the other things.

252
00:29:38.110 --> 00:29:42.479
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: but really, I just didn't want to repeat what happened with the 1st business

253
00:29:42.650 --> 00:29:47.560
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I wanted to have, like the the right way, and then

254
00:29:48.110 --> 00:29:49.600
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: right hindsight.

255
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:56.460
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: understanding that me trying to follow, because one of the things in my design is like originality.

256
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.730
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And to be this catalyst and this launch pad.

257
00:29:59.850 --> 00:30:13.970
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And when I am trying to follow someone else. I'm not stepping into the leadership that's in my chart. I'm trying to fit myself into a mold just because I see it working for other people. There was nothing wrong

258
00:30:14.040 --> 00:30:23.440
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: with the frameworks, because for some people it worked. They were having 6 figure launches, and we would celebrate them on calls.

259
00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:28.277
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: while also, you know, crying ourselves to sleep because that wasn't us.

260
00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:35.119
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: so I would say, even now, you know.

261
00:30:35.890 --> 00:30:43.069
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: the in in this moment actually recognizing that when I start to feel that fear of like, okay, well, maybe you know.

262
00:30:43.190 --> 00:30:47.669
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you should pay for this coaching program, or whatever that has this proven

263
00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:49.870
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: method and framework like

264
00:30:50.010 --> 00:30:57.300
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: you're you're not supposed to follow those methods. You're supposed to figure it out

265
00:30:58.300 --> 00:30:59.810
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and be original

266
00:30:59.890 --> 00:31:14.990
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: like you can take from those things what you will if you feel like there's really something that you can glean this one tip or tool, maybe the way they talk about something. But if you're just doing it because you think that it's going to get you somewhere

267
00:31:15.090 --> 00:31:16.390
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: faster.

268
00:31:17.010 --> 00:31:26.070
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: recognize that it's it's for me it's not gonna be that way, because if I try and mimic what the other person is doing, I'm not being original.

269
00:31:26.510 --> 00:31:31.919
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I'm not bringing the uniqueness, that is me the design like there's No.

270
00:31:31.930 --> 00:31:36.420
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I've pulled probably over a hundred 50 human design charts at this point.

271
00:31:37.030 --> 00:31:53.060
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and every single one is different, because human design is the science of differentiation. If I try and mimic a manifesting generators method like, I don't have a defined throat like I'm not gonna be able.

272
00:31:53.270 --> 00:31:57.509
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I'm going to be wasting so much energy, trying to be like them.

273
00:31:57.750 --> 00:31:58.779
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah, and

274
00:31:58.950 --> 00:32:02.909
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and then checking in with them. Being like, is this enough like you

275
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:06.879
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: to be okay? Okay, then I'll I'll do it like no.

276
00:32:08.450 --> 00:32:16.989
Lindsay Ford: Yeah. And I think that comes back to like that self worth piece, like the fear and the self worth piece are sort of coupled together there of just, you know.

277
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:35.379
Lindsay Ford: wanting to turn to that external validation those external sources, to tell you how to do better, and I mean, I have gone through so many different programs. And it's you know, it works for a little bit. And then I'm just like this is not my voice like I literally like will find myself

278
00:32:35.510 --> 00:32:40.800
Lindsay Ford: talking like the people I'm learning from. I'm like, Okay, no, I need to like, step back from this like it's

279
00:32:40.980 --> 00:33:02.639
Lindsay Ford: it's such a such a process. But it really does come back to you know there, there is something to be said from learning, from people who have gone before you and and the successes, but also just being able to sit with your fears and your reflection and your self-worth, and just be like, I like this piece, this piece, this piece, and I'm going to apply that. And I'm going to do it in this context instead.

280
00:33:02.670 --> 00:33:08.359
Lindsay Ford: So you work with people now helping them do this. So what is your, I guess, sort of

281
00:33:08.370 --> 00:33:14.130
Lindsay Ford: general advice on on, like, how much to pull from others, how much to do

282
00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:20.629
Lindsay Ford: on their own. It doesn't always start with something like a human design reading.

283
00:33:21.390 --> 00:33:31.699
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I think it should. And that's the way that I start things for a time. When I 1st found out about human design, I was like, maybe I'll just work it in like as we go along.

284
00:33:31.730 --> 00:33:37.279
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: We'll just like we'll do some business stuff, and then we'll do some human design stuff. And

285
00:33:37.760 --> 00:33:44.680
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: it it didn't. It didn't work. We have to start there first, st because what'll happen is someone

286
00:33:44.890 --> 00:33:46.980
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: who isn't aware of who they are.

287
00:33:47.260 --> 00:33:52.339
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: who is stuck in that comparison. Who's feeling that imposter syndrome, that low

288
00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:54.129
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: sense of self-worth.

289
00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:58.580
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: until they have the confidence in who they are and how they show up in the world.

290
00:33:58.710 --> 00:34:12.870
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: They may bring something to a session for us to implement. But it could just be because they saw a Youtube video. And then they're convinced like this is the thing that's gonna work. And then we would lose traction because it wouldn't work. They would get frustrated.

291
00:34:13.030 --> 00:34:16.650
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: And because it wasn't genuine from them.

292
00:34:16.670 --> 00:34:21.299
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: It was like, Okay, well, can we do this? And I'm like we save so much time

293
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:30.820
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: if we just do like, I know not. And that helped me to self identify my people. Because if you're not into the spiritual.

294
00:34:30.929 --> 00:34:34.690
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and you just want to cut to the the strategy.

295
00:34:36.010 --> 00:34:44.358
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I I'm that's that would be me doing you a disservice, and I don't. 1 of the other things in my chart is like integrity. And

296
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.059
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: so it's like no. And so that

297
00:34:49.540 --> 00:34:59.060
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: that is where we start. Now we start with them, understanding who they are. And then once they kind of get a feel, and they're experimenting with their strategy and authority.

298
00:34:59.080 --> 00:35:16.669
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: You know, 70% of the population are generators. So something's gonna show up for them to respond to that. They can genuinely see how they feel about it. And then when we get to that portion, we can start bringing those pieces in like, oh, I think I might want to do this. And it's like, Okay.

299
00:35:16.850 --> 00:35:22.619
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: and we have ways for them to check in with themselves and make sure like, is this you?

300
00:35:22.810 --> 00:35:28.000
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Or is this the mind telling you that this is gonna work, and you're just like.

301
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.640
Lindsay Ford: How do you tell the difference?

302
00:35:30.680 --> 00:35:39.279
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Well for generators, we do sacral sessions. So yes, no questions giving that sacral something to respond to

303
00:35:39.430 --> 00:35:53.530
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: for non-energy types like projectors, reflectors, manifestors, having those open-ended questions for them to hear and speak their truth and have it, you know, reflected back to them so they can process it.

304
00:35:53.870 --> 00:35:58.750
Lindsay Ford: Okay. I love that. I didn't know that difference between like the open ended versus the closed ended.

305
00:35:58.750 --> 00:35:59.120
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah.

306
00:35:59.490 --> 00:36:08.080
Lindsay Ford: That's fascinating to me, all right. It makes sense. Given how I like muscle test things, and I'm just like, Show me. Yes, show me? No, yes.

307
00:36:09.645 --> 00:36:13.089
Lindsay Ford: did you? You said you had a question for me. Do you remember what it is?

308
00:36:13.090 --> 00:36:19.350
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah. So at 1st I was. I'm just curious about, if you remember, if your throat was defined or not.

309
00:36:19.350 --> 00:36:20.940
Lindsay Ford: Undefined.

310
00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:26.289
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Undefined. Okay? Because at first, st when you said and I and I sense that because at 1st you were like

311
00:36:26.520 --> 00:36:35.539
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: people always love to hear my perspective. And I was like, was it the same perspective? But then, when I heard you say, like you, you find yourself

312
00:36:35.890 --> 00:36:58.659
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: like mimicking the people that you're learning from. I was like, no, no, because I have a completely open throat. I'm like, no, that sounds undefined or open. But it's beautiful, because we don't have that fixed way of speaking. People do love our perspective because it's like it's tailor made for them in that moment. It's not this fixed thing. So that was.

313
00:36:58.660 --> 00:36:59.190
Lindsay Ford: It is I.

314
00:36:59.190 --> 00:36:59.670
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I'm.

315
00:36:59.670 --> 00:37:04.440
Lindsay Ford: Like the annoying person that if you travel with me I'll pick up an accent, and it's just super

316
00:37:04.830 --> 00:37:08.070
Lindsay Ford: super annoying. I'm like I don't know what's happening right now.

317
00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:22.309
Lindsay Ford: But you are like, you're right, because forget for communicating with people like I find myself like, if I'm around someone who's swearing a lot. I will start swearing a lot like I will just like adapt my language, and I'm not being inauthentic.

318
00:37:22.310 --> 00:37:40.710
Lindsay Ford: It's just like how I operate, and it's wild to me because and but then, like, when I am trying to, you know, be in my my business, and like show up authentically sometimes it is hard to differentiate like, what is actually me versus? What am I just like mirroring and reflecting from other people?

319
00:37:41.900 --> 00:37:44.330
Lindsay Ford: it's just. It's such a wild ride.

320
00:37:45.970 --> 00:37:53.229
Lindsay Ford: Okay, so who do you? So you work with business owners? How can people find you if they want to work with you?

321
00:37:53.570 --> 00:37:59.020
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Yeah. The easiest way for them to find me is through my website, diamond drip, consulting.com.

322
00:37:59.260 --> 00:38:08.649
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: It's through there they can pull their free human design chart, and I'll send them some resources after they pull their chart. To really understand it.

323
00:38:08.710 --> 00:38:21.069
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: I always say the best way to connect with me is to learn something about you which starts with the chart. But I am on social everywhere, so they can connect with me there, too. All the links are on my site.

324
00:38:21.190 --> 00:38:25.619
Lindsay Ford: Amazing. I might have to go download your insights on my human design, because

325
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:31.439
Lindsay Ford: it's 1 of those things that like them like I've learned so much about it. But a lot of it doesn't stick.

326
00:38:31.789 --> 00:38:38.819
Lindsay Ford: So yeah, this has been a really, really fun conversation. Thank you so much for being here, I so so appreciate it.

327
00:38:39.580 --> 00:38:41.559
Diamond - #CoachDiamondDrip: Same, I appreciate it being here with you.
