What’s In Your Toolbox?

Hi, Cadre fam. She wasn't trying to give you a sneak peek of anything. Hi. Hi. We're coming at you live from Cadre HQ. We're not. We're at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport, so that's not where this company was born. But you just heard me right. We're in Minneapolis. We've been here since Sunday. We're just leaving the first ever inaugural Cadre wellness summit, and we're leaving on a jet plane. We don't know when we'll be back again, but we're leaving with very full hearts, ideas out the wazoo, and we're so excited to have gotten to come here and meet everyone in person for the first time.

So we got to see so many other creators that we've only gotten to see on the line, through lives, through lives, through Zoom calls. Yeah, it's been an incredible couple of days, so you're gonna hear some background conversation. We're at the airport, but we wanted to pop on and say hi, introduce ourselves. We're Jill and Mary. We're with girls mentorship. We teach life and personal development skills to tween and teen girls, and we are proud content creators for Cadre on this very app. So when we heard that Cadre was having its first wellness summit, the first thing we thought was, we have to be there.

And I think that's what we want to deliver to you today. This guy's inadvertently talking about this subject as well. That's what we want to talk about. You have to take advantage of opportunities to get in the room. And this is something that Jill and I have preached before. Cadre. We'll preach long after Cadre. Magic happens when you put yourself in rooms with like minded people who don't just agree with you, but also disagree with you. So we come together, we idea share. We share stories about who we are, our life's journey, our path, in hopes of inspiring other people.

And we not only hit that mark at Cadres Wellness summit, I think we far exceeded it. And what doing that, what taking that step, what that Depp has done for us is reignite and remind us of our. Why. It reignites our passion, and it just reaffirms that we're on the right path. And I think sometimes when you are in your day to day life, some would call it a bubble. A bubble. And you've been in the grind, and you're just surviving day to day. It is important for you to notice when burnout is happening or on the precipice of burnout.

And that is an indicator for you to self evaluate, self examine and figure out where in my community can I put myself in a room that's going to fill me up. And Mary and I, over these past few years, we've put ourselves in rooms. Awesome rooms. This room was different. This room was very different. This room wasn't about business. It wasn't about taking your social media presence to the next level. It was about literally looking within and being around other people who want to stretch you and take you to, and help you get to the next level in life and in business.

So, excuse me. I think our challenge for you in this is to find this space, because so often we can make the excuse that we don't have that, or we don't have the time or the resources, the money, the energy, the, the, the. Right. There's a million excuses as to why not. We heard from several people attending this past couple of days that Minnesota didn't have a ton of opportunities like this. So maybe you're in the same boat, maybe your space, your town, your city doesn't have a ton of opportunities to attend things like this.

I mean, we flew across the country to get here. So where are the opportunities for you to infuse community like this into your life? Where are opportunities for you to get outside of your comfort zone in order to get in the room? Because I'm not exaggerating, and I know it sounds, you know, like a hang in there poster with a cat hanging off a tree, but magic seriously happens in rooms like those. And you walk out a different person than you walk in because it's those heart centered connections that you make with people that you didn't know two days ago that you leave feeling like family.

We gained 40 new family members in the last couple of days. And that's worth its weight in gold because those experiences are then cemented in time for you to look back on and say, how much have I grown from that experience, from this moment in time? Where was I the last time I saw you guys? And where. How can I update you now based on what transpired in these rooms? And I also think about the ripple effect, like us being maybe we walked in at a level six and we're walking away a level ten. Imagine the impact that we will have in our own lives, in our own communities, that we get to spread the kindness, the connection, the love that we've felt over these last couple of days.

So maybe it's not a wellness summit for you. Maybe it is going to a yoga class or a meditation or a sound healing class where you experience just time for yourself so that you can go inward to explore and quiet the mind and figure out, okay, this was what I needed in order for me to show up better this evening, tomorrow, this next week. So where in your community? The challenge today is for you to figure out where. How are you feeling? First of all, are you feeling burnt out? We're headed into the holidays.

Do you feel like you need support? You gotta, we can't go into the holidays and the end of the year feeling burnt out. So where are you? Check in and what event, what space do you need to support you? And I love what Jill just said about taking the time, the space to go inward because that truly is what helps us. Then take that light, that space that we created for ourselves and shine it outward. And I think if you're on this app, you know that the world collectively desperately needs people to be shining their positive energy and impact outwardly into the world.

People are looking for lighthouses and lighthouses need to recharge as well. So take the time, take the opportunity. Don't breeze by it because burnout does happen and it happens at the worst times. There's never a good time for it to happen, right? But that's your body telling you that you have to slow down and if you don't take the opportunity, it's going to do it for you. And that's not the space we want to find ourselves in. So the room doesn't have to look like what Jill just said, a wellness retreat.

There's, it's subjective. Find a room, the room for you to be able to do that because the takeaways are going to be magnanimous. And it is fun to take this energy back home with us to not only the people we get to meet in the airport today, but our families, our community and our girls. So we're empowering you to take the same steps forward to fill up the, your cup because, man, good couple of days. Great couple of days. So. And we want that for you. Yeah, we do. Yeah. Thanks for hanging with us.

You guys in the airport, you're always, you're always along for the ride. Thanks for being here with us. And we'll see you next week on Toolbox Tuesdays. Bye, everyone.
