Looking for inner peace in a world that constantly overwhelms your brain? In this episode of The CrazyFitnessGuy® Show, autistic advocate Jimmy Clare talks with Monika Bodera—founder of Core Essence and retreat leader in Abruzzo—about gentle spiritual healing and holistic well-being for autistic and neurodivergent adults.
Monika shares how mindfulness, energy work, and simple spiritual practices can help you reconnect with your true self without needing to follow rigid routines or intense “wellness” trends. Together, Jimmy and Monika explore realistic ways to find calm, build self-awareness, and create small daily rituals that support your mental health, nervous system, and overall well-being. (edit)
If you’re curious about spirituality but want it presented in a grounded, non-judgy way that respects sensory needs and low-energy days, this episode offers a gentle starting point for your own healing journey.

3:43
Welcome to another episode of Crazy
3:44
Fitness Guy's Healthy Living Podcast.
3:47
Uh I have my friend here, Monica, and
3:51
uh she's going to introduce herself, and
3:53
then we're going to go from there.
3:54
Welcome aboard, Monica. Hi, Jimmy, and
3:57
thank you for having me here on your
3:59
podcast. I'm amazing.
4:02
Monica, as you said, Monica Bowdera.
4:05
Joining you from London
4:08
in the United Kingdom and my accent
4:11
comes from Poland where I was born,
4:13
brought up, and I moved to to live in
4:17
London in 2000, I believe. So,
4:20
so if you count your
4:22
my years, it's nearly half of my life in
4:27
I've been here nearly here for half of
4:29
my life.
4:30
So, yes, I'm
4:32
I do I run a spiritual awakening circle
4:35
platform for people
4:37
who are on a spiritual path and who are
4:40
also
4:42
providers of guidance, that's spiritual
4:45
personal development guidance.
4:48
And I'm a mom and that's what makes me
4:50
most happy and proud.
4:52
So, how did you
4:54
How did you come up with the
4:56
whole thing for your spiritual group?
5:00
I had
5:02
my personal experience which was
5:05
certainly about spiritual awakening.
5:08
That was around the time my son was
5:11
born.
5:13
And out of the darkness the light came
5:15
through, shines through. So, I had a
5:18
rather difficult personally time and
5:23
and all sorts of experiences started
5:26
happening. I couldn't make much sense
5:28
out of it while it was happening. Apart
5:30
from the fact that I've reviewed
5:33
my life completely. I've changed the
5:37
many ways I've um
5:39
conducted my life and and
5:42
I've realized that there is more to mind
5:45
and body. There is something called
5:47
soul. And I've connected and while I was
5:52
in within that process, I invested a lot
5:54
of time and money as well into my
5:57
personal and spiritual development.
6:00
And while I was
6:02
exploring and seeking new connections
6:04
and people and trainers who are taking
6:07
me that extra step uh forward and um I
6:12
came across a lady called Nikki De
6:14
Giglio Geronimo who is a British lady
6:17
based in Italy. We were talking on the
6:19
phone a lot and uh we realized that we
6:22
are at the point where we can where we
6:24
are both available to start doing
6:27
something within that um
6:30
uh niche. And uh I was certainly super
6:34
excited. We just uh got into the first
6:38
lockdown.
6:39
So, there was no option to to travel to
6:41
Italy. She's she runs retreats there. I
6:43
was absolutely amazed by the location of
6:46
what I've seen on on online.
6:48
And um
6:50
that the only option to do something
6:51
together was a digital platform. And
6:54
that's how the Facebook group Virtual
6:56
Awakening Circle
6:58
came to life. Um
7:00
and of course, I managed to go to Italy
7:02
and see her in real life. We we had uh
7:05
three or four meetings in between
7:08
lockdowns because as you might know, we
7:09
are
7:10
in a second in the second lockdown again
7:12
in London.
7:14
Uh but yes, that's so that's so it was
7:16
an answer to
7:18
uh my need to
7:21
start a different
7:23
career, different professional path. And
7:28
um as as as you know, uh those things
7:30
happen when we need them. So, that was
7:32
my my connection with Nikki. And somehow
7:38
we we came with that plan to to
7:40
something really helpful for others.
7:44
And I think that's that's how we
7:46
continue just to provide some help, some
7:48
support for people who experience the
7:50
variety of um uh challenges on that
7:53
path.
7:54
And uh
7:55
so what do you discuss about in uh your
7:58
spiritual group?
8:00
It's mainly a platform for connection.
8:02
So we've got about 4 and 1/2 thousand
8:05
members and um
8:08
they come from all over the world.
8:10
And what we as admins do is we provide
8:14
them um some some useful nuggets of
8:17
wisdom or or advice.
8:20
We invite them to discussion, to share
8:23
to sharing their experiences.
8:25
And um outside of our
8:29
uh control, obviously discussions
8:31
happened and people connect differently.
8:35
So it's it's about ex-
8:37
exchanging experiences because some of
8:39
those experiences can be unsettling. We
8:41
are not taught at school what spiritual
8:44
awakening is, what's um how to handle uh
8:48
certain
8:49
um
8:50
sort of uh more
8:52
difficult um
8:55
parts of the process.
8:56
And and we if we reach out and ask,
9:00
we'll get answers and that's what this
9:02
group is mainly used for.
9:04
And uh
9:05
how many
9:06
uh
9:07
people are part of your group?
9:09
4 and 1/2 thousand. Um 50% I would say
9:14
50% of our members
9:16
uh of our members are from the US.
9:20
Uh about 40%
9:23
No, maybe 30% will be from the UK.
9:26
And 20%
9:28
uh uh members from Australia,
9:31
uh India, um other parts of Europe, uh
9:34
Poland, my native Poland. I've been
9:36
doing some work on the Polish community
9:38
and I'm just seeing new influx of Polish
9:41
people joining in.
9:42
Uh so, yeah, it's very international
9:45
group and it's still growing.
9:48
Jeez, uh
9:49
uh
9:51
Uh how many uh years have you been doing
9:54
it?
9:55
Uh we have Well, what was it? We It's
9:57
coming to the first anniversary uh in
10:01
April. We I seem to remember the 8th of
10:04
April as our start date. So, yeah, so
10:08
nearly a year. It feels like we've been
10:10
doing it for the last 20 years.
10:13
>> [laughter]
10:14
>> I know that feeling. Uh I have two uh
10:17
I have two milestones uh coming up as
10:19
well
10:20
uh
10:21
on April 12th uh
10:24
Uh April 12th will be Crazy Fitness
10:26
Guy's uh
10:27
fourth uh birthday.
10:31
And uh it'll be my podcast uh first
10:34
birthday.
10:35
Thanks to our sponsorship with
10:38

10:40

descriptions. Either or will work.
11:09
Wait, yeah.
11:11
But definitely check them out because if
11:13
you're a daily learner like me and like
11:15
to learn new stuff, I don't always have
11:17
time to
11:19
to read 11-minute articles or 15-minute
11:22
articles at a
11:23
uh at
11:25
uh during the day. So, with Deepstash, I
11:27
can listen to them on the go while I'm
11:30
driving the car or on an airplane, etc.
11:34
So, go check out my friends at Deep
11:36
Stash.
11:37
You won't regret it.
11:41
Well, beautiful. Amazing. So, so you
11:44
kept this going for the last four year
11:46
four years.
11:48
Which
11:49
uh it's it's good. Brutally long four
11:52
years.
11:53
Yes. You know, well, it is one thing to
11:55
start, but but then keeping it going is
11:58
the other challenge.
11:59
>> [laughter]
12:01
>> Yeah, I thought it'd be a walk in the
12:03
park. No.
12:05
>> [laughter]
12:07
>> I wish. Well, yes. Yes. But you tell
12:10
Well, do you get to speak to nice people
12:12
like me?
12:14
Yeah.
12:16
I do like speaking
12:18
I do like speaking to a lot of people
12:21
and I like podcasting more than I do
12:24
writing on my website at times just
12:26
because the algorithms change every
12:30
I read a statistic that Google updates
12:32
their algorithm like
12:35
over 400 plus times a year. I'm like,
12:38
overkill.
12:40
Oh my god. That's That's one and one per
12:42
day.
12:43
Yeah, pretty much.
12:44
Oh my gosh.
12:46
You see, sometimes ignorance is a
12:48
blessing as they say. And I'm and I'm
12:50
quite ignorant in on those matters. So,
12:53
um thank you for letting me know. Now
12:55
I'm going to have a sleepless night.
12:58
>> [laughter]
13:00
>> Yeah, there there's some days where I
13:01
just feel like just ripping my site
13:02
down.
13:04
Yank.
13:06
Uh
13:07
Uh so, uh
13:10
Uh
13:11
what are your goals for your
13:13
for your group?
13:16
Uh to help as many people as possible.
13:19
So, that's the over over
13:22
overall goal for for for what we do with
13:25
the group. We have other ideas on how to
13:31
uh develop that the concept and how to
13:33
receive
13:34
run it run a business as well.
13:37
But that's the the business side is
13:39
connected mainly to
13:41
uh our retreats based in Italy.
13:45
Central Italy and Abruzzo where we have
13:47
we are building a um eco eco spiritual
13:52
village.
13:53
And of course we can't really travel
13:55
freely so it's on on hold but
13:59
that's that's our
14:02
um plan for
14:04
for making it a bit more
14:06
business like. For the group the plan is
14:09
to really to build it as
14:11
as keep building it keep building it. If
14:14
it's if it comes to um
14:16
you know 700,000
14:18
that's great. It will be wonderful.
14:21
Um but it is about helping people giving
14:23
them the platform to connect. And then
14:25
and our major challenge I would say is
14:29
to keep that platform safe
14:32
and safe in terms of not letting people
14:35
who might prey on the vulnerability of
14:40
the process and people maybe not aware
14:42
what is expected what kind of
14:46
um service might help them.
14:49
So a mine
14:50
>> [laughter]
14:51
>> is a little petty hate of mine but I
14:52
need to remove people from the group and
14:55
>> [laughter]
14:55
>> when they don't behave.
14:57
And when I mean don't behave is when
15:00
they when they try to sell things like
15:02
card readings spells and
15:05
it's it's it's useful
15:08
and great but we know who we would like
15:12
to recommend. We trust those people and
15:14
when they come
15:15
without any verification it's it just
15:18
becomes quite
15:19
for For personally it's it's it's a huge
15:21
responsibility to have that platform
15:23
with people seeking the support and
15:25
having someone who
15:27
offers that support without prior
15:30
knowledge of of me and and Nikki.
15:33
Um so that's that's a challenge, but the
15:36
plan is to to grow it, keep growing it,
15:38
or connecting.
15:41
That's one of my goals, too, is to keep
15:43
growing my group. Um
15:46
Currently now I have
15:49
Currently have like 35 people in the
15:51
group, but uh I just I kind of
15:56
It's funny. I started off with my group
15:58
uh
15:59
sometime last year.
16:01
And then I And then I was going to try
16:04
to transition
16:05
to
16:07
uh
16:08
uh because I didn't feel like
16:10
a Facebook group was feasible and
16:12
possible for me to run, but then um
16:16
uh
16:17
but I got no one else to join the group
16:20
on this other platform. And so I I was
16:22
like, "I'm going to take this thing
16:24
down." And after taking it down for a
16:27
little bit, I uh
16:29
I kind of jumped everything back to
16:31
Facebook. And uh
16:35
And a
16:36
a lot of people uh started joining. And
16:40
uh
16:42
I had like
16:43
uh
16:44
Yeah, a lot of people started joining
16:46
and they got more interested in the
16:47
group. And I was like, "Well,
16:50
and it's like so it doesn't do well on
16:52
one platform. Go back to where it all
16:55
began." And it's like now they're
16:57
interested.
16:58
Yes, sometimes it takes a full circle,
17:00
doesn't it?
17:01
Um
17:02
It's just circle. It's interesting.
17:04
It can be, yeah. It can be when you run
17:07
around it.
17:08
Um but I'm I'm Are you aware of
17:11
Clubhouse? Uh
17:13
yeah. I think we had this conversation.
17:15
I think I did ask you, yes. You see,
17:17
just to add to to the uh
17:21
availability of different platforms,
17:22
there is this new kid on the block, the
17:25
Clubhouse, and that is
17:28
additional
17:30
time and effort, which I'm deciding to
17:33
develop
17:35
that Oh gosh, it's um
17:38
Now, I think it's a might It might be my
17:41
vicious circle that I move to a
17:43
different platform, develop in it
17:45
from scratch, but it's okay. Um but what
17:49
I will tell you, it's it's a massive
17:50
platform, it's very vibrant, it's very
17:52
dynamic. So, the development happens
17:54
much quicker than
17:56
what I've seen on Facebook.
17:58
Um Uh um no no
17:59
>> Just my
18:01
thinking.
18:02
Uh uh uh I'm still hoping to get on
18:05
Clubhouse because but I'm still waiting
18:07
for the Android app to come out.
18:10
Uh
18:11
I can't afford an Apple phone.
18:13
Uh nor do I want an Apple phone.
18:16
Well, they they
18:17
they
18:18
They will They are coming with an
18:20
Android version very soon. So, um
18:23
that will add
18:25
uh a huge influx of new users, I'm sure.
18:29
Yeah. Like I uh Someone was telling me.
18:31
I
18:33
Uh I was just going to say that that uh
18:35
s-
18:36
Uh a few people were telling me
18:39
um that that
18:40
that
18:41
uh the Clubhouse uh for Android is not
18:44
going to come out until sometime later
18:48
uh
18:49
a few months later in the year. I'm
18:51
like, "Well, that's very specific."
18:55
>> [laughter]
18:56
>> You know, that's that's actually
18:57
Clubhouse. You you don't get any
18:59
specifics. It's like
19:01
I think the founders, the the
19:03
developers, uh
19:05
literally created as they go.
19:08
So, we are there on the platform
19:09
already, and they are still creating it
19:11
and finding their ways around it. So,
19:14
it's it's very interesting
19:16
time to be on it. Um but I also Someone
19:19
was telling me about the statistics
19:21
about iPhone users for specifically for
19:24
Poland. I'm sure other countries will
19:25
have different statistics, but
19:27
uh apparently it's only 10% of the the
19:31
mobile users who have iPhones.
19:34
Um so, yes, so with Android app app
19:39
being available, I'm sure that that's
19:41
that platform will grow
19:43
quite quickly and um
19:45
and I've heard as well. Actually, there
19:47
was Mark Zuckerberg on Clubhouse last
19:51
week.
19:52
And he's talking about his audio
19:55
app
19:56
for for Facebook. So, uh Clubhouse will
19:59
will have a competition soon.
20:02
That is dumb.
20:07
It's difficult to continue with what
20:09
we've got. I know and uh
20:11
Yeah, we we need Facebook's version.
20:13
That that that that's going to work.
20:15
Mhm.
20:17
Uh
20:18
some of this stuff don't work. And it
20:20
doesn't work.
20:22
Yeah. Yeah, I've I seem to I mean, I've
20:25
never used Marketplace. I think Facebook
20:27
had a Marketplace, some some sort of
20:29
shop.
20:30
>> Yeah, never used it. Okay, I've never
20:32
used um and I've recently seen something
20:35
like a Facebook dating.
20:37
I was like,
20:37
>> Yeah, no, no, that is there. It is. Oh
20:41
my god, I don't know if I was just
20:42
dreaming
20:44
um
20:44
but apparently so. So, now he's in that.
20:48
>> [laughter]
20:49
>> I was like, "Am I not even putting the
20:51
my relationship status on Facebook?"
20:54
Yeah, um no thanks. I'm not going to
20:56
trust you with my dating life.
20:58
Yeah. Yes. And well, literally, that's
21:01
what they I guess do, just get
21:04
information from
21:05
from users and
21:07
develop the apps for for them, but
21:11
Hi everyone, this is JJ, the co-founder
21:13
of Goodpods. If you haven't heard of it
21:16
yet, Goodpods is like Goodreads or
21:17
Instagram, but for podcasts. It's new,
21:20
it's social, it's different, and it's
21:22
growing really fast. There are more than
21:24
2 million podcasts, and we know that it
21:27
is impossible to figure out what to
21:29
listen to. On Goodpods, you follow your
21:32
friends and podcasters to see what they
21:34
like. That is the number one way to
21:36
discover new shows and episodes. You can
21:39
find Goodpods on the web or download the
21:41
app. Happy listening.
21:44
Well, we are where we are. Um,
21:47
um, um, as I'm saying, I'm using a lot
21:50
of Clubhouse now, which is taking time.
21:54
Facebook is growing, which is great, and
21:56
I don't see Facebook going anywhere.
21:59
Um, but because Clubhouse is integrated
22:02
with Twitter and Instagram, the side
22:05
effect is I'm growing Instagram. So, um,
22:08
which I don't know about you. Do you use
22:10
Instagram? Yeah, I use Instagram.
22:13
Um,
22:15
yeah,
22:16
I've been seeing people
22:17
been growing their Instagram like
22:20
crazy amounts of numbers, and it's like,
22:22
"Uh, can I get a part of the action?"
22:25
Yeah, yeah. And patience.
22:28
>> [laughter]
22:28
>> It It's time and effort again, Jimmy.
22:31
It's just
22:33
All it is time and effort. And
22:35
[laughter] patience.
22:37
Oh, that one, too. Yes, yes. Which
22:39
sometimes I don't have.
22:42
>> [laughter]
22:44
>> And now, you're doing absolutely great.
22:47
I'm very impressed with your
22:49
uh, business and, uh, you know, what
22:51
what you do is is just great. Uh, that's
22:54
funny. I I got
22:57
Uh, so, how many, uh,
22:59
so, do you have a website for your,
23:01
uh,
23:02
for your spiritual group? Yes, we do
23:04
actually. It's exactly the same name
23:07
spiritual awakening circle. I mean who
23:09
would like to register such a long name
23:11
but we did so.
23:12
It's spiritual awakening circle.com.
23:15
Wishing you luck typing it all.
23:19
So so we have a website with more
23:22
information
23:24
on different plans.
23:26
I'm currently developing online courses
23:29
for people who want to have more than a
23:31
free platform. I didn't mention that
23:33
it's the group is all free. The the
23:35
content is available for free.
23:38
And that for those who want to deepen
23:41
the guidance, the knowledge and the
23:44
training, that's what is going to happen
23:47
for them. They will have options through
23:49
us
23:50
and through all the amazing teachers who
23:52
are part of of the platform as well. So
23:56
there there will be information about
23:57
that.
23:58
And
24:00
we also have a program to support those
24:03
business spiritual business or intuitive
24:06
business people.
24:08
So that's where we take a view to
24:12
help them with visibility, help them
24:14
with
24:16
again going back to retreats in Italy.
24:19
There is a program and I can't wait when
24:22
we can travel again because this is this
24:24
is really exciting meeting people in
24:26
real life.
24:28
And I'm not complaining. It's great. I
24:31
can see you. We can talk and uh
24:34
and we can connect at the same with the
24:37
group of people I'm working with but
24:39
it's there is nothing better than
24:41
meeting people in real life from my my
24:44
point of view. I agree with that.
24:48
There
24:49
I'm looking forward to being able to
24:51
travel again. I'm
24:56
I'm hoping
24:58
I It's funny. Um
25:01
I just got this offer.
25:03
Um
25:04
Well, not wasn't really an offer, but
25:06
this guy
25:07
uh that interviewed me a
25:09
a while back. I think sometime like last
25:12
month. I forget
25:14
the exact date, but um I know it was
25:17
this month. I don't know. But uh
25:19
he uh he is he uh he said I would be a
25:23
good fit for um
25:26
for this uh panel discussion
25:28
uh
25:29
that has so many meetings a year.
25:32
And uh he thinks that I should be uh sit
25:36
on this panel
25:37
uh and uh provide uh feedback to um
25:42
provide feedback to this organization.
25:45
And uh
25:47
and uh and once we get out of this
25:49
pandemic, I'll be able to travel to the
25:52
the different meeting locations and
25:54
everything. And I'm like, "Sounds
25:56
interesting."
25:59
Uh and
26:01
>> And uh and
26:03
And it's kind of like it was kind of
26:05
daunting to me today because uh I'm
26:08
It is
26:09
since it's like my first week back from
26:12
spring break, I just like everything
26:14
kind of just piled up on my desk.
26:16
Like one thing after the other. I'm
26:18
like,
26:19
"Yeah, this is fun."
26:21
>> [laughter]
26:21
>> I was like, "One thing I learned so far
26:23
is being an entrepre- entrepreneur." I
26:25
was like, "Take one week off. Yeah, you
26:28
come back and there's a few
26:31
a few things that
26:33
uh
26:34
doesn't work correctly. Like my
26:36
newsletter tool. I'm like, "Awesome."
26:39
And I was like, "Why am I giving these
26:40
people my business?" And I was like,
26:42
"I'm not going to give them my business
26:44
anymore."
26:45
Uh
26:50
Hydro Flask is the best water bottle in
26:52
my opinion because it keeps my water
26:55
nice, cold, and refreshing throughout
26:58
the day. And yes, I do drink a lot of
27:00
water throughout the day. So,
27:02
even though it stays colder for longer,
27:05
I still like
27:07
having a reusable water bottle like
27:11
Hydro Flask because it is
27:14
sits on my desk and
27:17
it just sits on my desk and reminds me,
27:20
"Hey, you got to drink water." And
27:23
Hydro Flask it keeps it cold longer,
27:26
which makes me want to drink more water
27:29
throughout the day because, you know,
27:31
there's nothing worse than drinking warm
27:33
water.
27:36
Go to hydroflask.com
27:38
or
27:38
>> [snorts]
27:38
>> and use the link in the show notes. And
27:41
yes, I do get a small commission
27:44
from Hydro Flask. So,
27:47
which also helps support the show. So,
27:50
tell them I sent you. Here's the link
27:51
below. And
27:54
yeah, check out hydroflask.com for more
27:56
information.
27:58
My whole plan was to just like
28:00
everything you just come in came
28:02
crashing to me at once. And today I when
28:04
I got that email, I was like, "Can I do
28:07
this? Can I handle this?" I don't know.
28:10
And then I had to remind myself and
28:12
like, "Just because you submit the
28:13
application doesn't mean you're going to
28:15
get picked."
28:16
>> [laughter]
28:16
>> And it's like it's not like a Hang it as
28:19
I just kind of like a job application,
28:21
but it's not
28:22
uh it's not a full-time job. It just It
28:25
just uh I'll be speaking to these
28:27
people, giving feedback. Uh I don't know
28:31
exactly I don't have all the ins and
28:32
outs and everything. But what they said
28:36
uh
28:37
on the website is that they have these
28:39
different meetings I'll be invited to. I
28:41
get to share my
28:43
and they will compensate me for my time
28:47
and my
28:48
travel expenses.
28:50
Whenever I get to ever travel again.
28:53
And I was like, I might have to do this
28:56
because I want to get the heck out of
28:58
this
28:59
>> [laughter]
29:00
>> I was like it's not that I don't like my
29:02
house or the state that I live in but
29:03
it's like can I travel somewhere? I was
29:06
like I'm antsy as heck to get out of
29:07
here.
29:09
Yes.
29:11
Absolutely and that's that's that's a
29:13
really good
29:14
way of
29:15
having both your your career and
29:19
developed further while you are
29:21
traveling. I mean perfect combination.
29:24
Yeah, and this guy also said to me he'll
29:26
interview me.
29:28
I was like he'll give me a lot
29:30
a lot of connections
29:32
and
29:33
he'll be
29:35
and you'll be thankful to have these
29:36
connections. I'm like, oh well now the
29:39
suspense is like killing me. I was like
29:41
I must do it now.
29:43
Uh
29:44
>> [laughter]
29:46
>> Yes. Yeah, well when the opportunity
29:48
knocks the door
29:50
we we should take it regardless if we
29:52
are ready or not. That's what I've been
29:54
uh
29:56
told and that's what my my sort of
29:58
experience as someone who run uh own
30:01
business
30:02
um is is continuously is proving to be
30:04
right. It's uh
30:06
You don't ask when you when you get an
30:08
offer you just jump and you keep your
30:10
fingers crossed it's all happening. I'll
30:12
keep fingers crossed for you because it
30:14
sounds really good. Now how are you with
30:16
traveling? Are you are you good?
30:18
Yeah, I'm not Are you Uh I'm good with
30:21
traveling.
30:22
Uh
30:24
I traveled once by myself. Actually well
30:27
I must admit
30:28
me and go back and forth from the shore
30:31
to my shore house. I traveled multiple
30:33
times by myself but uh on an airplane I
30:36
traveled once by myself to
30:38
uh see my
30:40
uh
30:42
um one of my best friends, too, um
30:45
at his house in Nebraska when he was
30:47
living in Nebraska. Now he's back in
30:49
Pennsylvania.
30:51
But uh I Yeah, he is Yeah, I'm
30:56
I I'm pretty good at traveling. I've
30:58
been traveling
31:00
for many I went on different vacations
31:02
with my family members.
31:05
Um yeah, sometimes I hated traveling
31:08
because
31:09
uh
31:10
I don't know, just because I carry a lot
31:12
of luggage.
31:14
Uh every time I go to my shore house, I
31:16
bring my two laptops with me.
31:18
Uh it's not because I just work or
31:21
anything. It just um uh
31:23
I don't know.
31:24
I have one computer that is like
31:27
literally a tank, and by I mean by a
31:29
tank, it's it's a gaming laptop, so I
31:32
play my video games on it. Well, the
31:35
other one I can play video games on it,
31:36
it's too, but I noticed that the fan is
31:40
a lot louder than this one. And because
31:44
it's as when the games I play on it, um
31:47
it's a heavy game. It can The computer
31:49
can handle it, but
31:51
the gaming laptop
31:53
is like Think of it as like cutting
31:55
butter. It's like it it literally can
31:58
just handle anything and everything, and
31:59
it's like yeah, I always have to bring
32:02
this computer with me. It's like even
32:04
though it's a lot heavier and a lot
32:06
bigger, and it's like
32:08
I got to take it with me.
32:10
Like nothing can surpass this thing.
32:13
>> [laughter]
32:15
>> Well, then you are agreeing to the
32:16
compromise of carrying the weight of it.
32:20
Yeah.
32:22
Yeah, you see, I think that's those
32:24
little comforts which we have while
32:26
traveling, little things which make our
32:29
traveling
32:30
more comfortable or or
32:33
uh kind of give us that a of
32:35
familiarity. Yeah, that computer is some
32:38
something you are so attached to in a
32:40
way of wherever you are if you like
32:43
I'm presuming you feel like at home.
32:45
Because that's the part of experience
32:48
you you are so familiar with. Yeah.
32:51
So before we wrap up, where can people
32:54
find you on social media and everything?
32:58
Uh people can find me on Spiritual
33:00
Awakening Circle Facebook. One of the
33:04
admins. So
33:06
if anyone types Monica,
33:09
probably Monica with a K, of course with
33:11
a K,
33:13
will be the all the first one appearing
33:15
there.
33:17
On Facebook my profile is is there as
33:19
well, personal profile. So
33:22
Monica.Bordera.
33:24
And I'm on Instagram with with my name.
33:28
There is Spiritual Awakening Circle on
33:30
Instagram.
33:31
Now I'm on Clubhouse as well. So I'm
33:35
on quite a few platforms.
33:37
But the best one the best one for me is
33:40
to reach out through Spiritual Awakening
33:42
Circle Facebook group.
33:44
On Messenger.
33:46
I check my requests now, you know, when
33:49
you would add on friends with people,
33:51
Facebook doesn't allow you to see the
33:53
message it just puts it in the request
33:56
folder.
33:57
But nowadays since I've had quite a few
34:00
situations when I was expecting
34:02
something or someone get in touch and I
34:05
couldn't see the message and I thought
34:06
huh.
34:07
There is the request folder where all
34:09
the stuff
34:11
and so
34:13
the the people who are not not friends
34:15
with me would
34:17
would go to. So I do tend to check it.
34:20
So it's um
34:21
it's a good little habit I've created. I
34:23
check the requests as well. Definitely.
34:27

34:29

35:53
I still like uh
35:55
having a reusable water bottle out of
35:58
like Hydro Flask because it is
36:02
it sits on my desk and
36:05
uh it just sits on my desk and reminds
36:07
me, "Hey, you got to drink water." And
36:10
[laughter]
36:10
and Hydro Flask uh it keeps it cold
36:13
longer,
36:14
which makes me want to drink more water
36:17
throughout the day because, you know,
36:19
there's nothing worse than drinking warm
36:21
water.
36:24
Go to hydroflask.com
36:26

36:27
show notes. And yes, I do get a small
36:31

36:46
Internet can be an a distraction place.
36:49
It It's full of distractions like social
36:51
media, shopping, and so many more
36:55
websites that are very distracting.
36:58
Just like video games and whatnot. But,
37:01
it is all over the place. So much noise
37:03
going on. Well, with a blocker tool like
37:06
Freedom Blocker, it can block all those
37:09
distraction websites that you find
37:11
distracting. I block
37:14
uh Runescape, Facebook,
37:17
uh Twitter, and all the social media
37:19
marketing tools.
37:21
Without Freedom Blocker, I wouldn't be
37:22
able to uh run crazyfitnessguy.com
37:26
because
37:28
I'd be distracted all day long. But,
37:30
thanks to them.
