JOYELY A Love Affair of Human Hearts

People ache to find their purpose. And often, it’s been with you your whole life – you just didn’t know how to recognize it as such. That persistent, niggling part of yourself that just won’t let you alone? Probably your purpose. That thing that...

People ache to find their purpose. And often, it’s been with you your whole life – you just didn’t know how to recognize it as such. That persistent, niggling part of yourself that just won’t let you alone? Probably your purpose. That thing that everyone recognizes as being uniquely you and they count on for? Probably your purpose expressed. For Sheryl Lynn, her purpose was ultimately recognized as that insistent calling toward anything that brought her joy. She recognizes she needed it, and so does everyone else. And now, she’s built a platform around her brand called JOYELY. And she’s supporting a Joy Movement set to serve 1 billion people as they find, be, and share their joy with the world. Take a seat, you’re worth it.

1
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.400
What's working on Purpose anyway? Each
week we ponder the answer to this question.

2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.000
People ache for meaning and purpose at
work to contribute their talents passionately and

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:20.199
know their lives really matter. They
crave being part of an organization that inspires

4
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:25.079
them and helps them grow into realizing
their highest potential. Business can be such

5
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.440
a force for good in the world, elevating humanity. In our program,

6
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.479
we provide guidance and inspiration to help
usher in this world we all want.

24
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.760
with us today is Cherylyn, founder
of Joyly. We'll be talking about what

25
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.799
led her to launch this joyous venture, why it's so important to her,

26
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.319
and what she plans to do to
help people realize by being connected to it,

27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.439
you know. Today from Las Vegas, Nevada. Cheryl, welcome to

28
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.879
working on Purpose. Well, thank
you for having me, doctor Elis Cortez.

29
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.680
Nice to be here, Absolutely fantastic, and we have really got some

30
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.480
fun things to share with our listeners. But I always like to talk about

31
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.919
how I find my guests and so
I'm gonna let you do most of the

32
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:10.680
heavy lifting on this, but let
me say that we know it was last

33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.280
summer in twenty nineteen and you were
making a drive from I think Michigan to

34
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.879
Oregon and somehow found my radio show. So tell us your side of the

35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.039
story as to how it was that
we met. So thank you. I

36
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.080
think that I was. I was
a heat seeking missile on the entire drive.

37
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.639
I was on my way for information. I couldn't I couldn't stop googling.

38
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.520
And so yes, I was off
to visit my daughter in Portland and

39
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.639
stay with her for a summer.
She just needs some support. And so

40
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.479
in the back of my mind,
I had just gotten off a walk across

41
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.840
America and I needed to do something
different. I was just stuck, and

42
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.919
so I was googling how to get
my little life on track once again at

43
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.080
age fifty five, how to live
my passion and purpose? And so there

44
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.560
you were. I listened to the
entire show of Melorik Mitchell, and I

45
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.680
was so inspired. I called you
seconds later, and I think you called

46
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.039
me back maybe an hour later or
something. And it's been it's been a

47
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.439
history, it's been you know,
rocket science ever since with you. Oh,

48
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.400
it's so great. You know,
a couple of things we have to

49
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.039
talk about really quick, and I
do want our listeners to hear just what

50
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.479
it was about the message that Mel
and I had together that resonated for you.

51
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:30.080
Let me say two things. First, One is, listeners, if

52
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.319
you don't recognize this idea what I
call, you know, the half life.

53
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.560
I got this idea from Dan Pink
and it's in the book that I'm

54
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.560
releasing this year. Is there's something
in Charyltte if you can relate to this.

55
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.439
When we get to that half of
our life, whether it's our forties

56
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:53.639
or fifties, oftentimes many of us
register this intense urgency to redirect and re

57
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.120
orient ourselves and darn it, just
get on with the program. Did you

58
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.080
Is that what you felt? Yes, that's exactly what you all were talking

59
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.280
about. It's like, whatever it
is, just get to it. Like

60
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.680
it's not about you, it's the
it's the world waiting for your vision and

61
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.719
your dreams, and so get out
of your own way. Basically is what

62
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.240
you all said. And so I
said, okay, yeah, and what

63
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:16.040
you wrote to me and your email, I'll say, I'll just say it

64
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.040
here. So you said, Mail
spoke of alignment, audacious goals, and

65
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.600
starting a movement, and if that's
not what you've done, I don't know

66
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.560
what is right. And he said, we know so many people that are

67
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.839
screaming to do something else, and
if you're looking to make a shift,

68
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.120
step step on it, get get
to it. And then you said that

69
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.040
we both talked about mentors, and
so you called and the rest, of

70
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:40.360
course is history. So you said
that basically the conversation gave you permission and

71
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:46.240
validation to be you. That's exactly
right, I think. I think at

72
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.879
least I I was always just unable
to connect. And I knew that I

73
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:55.079
had this innate sense of joy,
but I needed someone to say that it

74
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.639
was okay. So that validation didn't
really come from anyone until you and I

75
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.839
spoke, you know, And that's
so great. That's why it's so important

76
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:05.920
for me to do the work that
I do. So the next thing I

77
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.040
want to share really quick is,
you know, in my own purpose journey

78
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.519
itself, Cheryl, I, the
first part of the purpose journey was recognizing

79
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.879
that I exist to awaken people to
their passion, inspiration, and purpose.

80
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.399
And I've been doing that for the
last couple of years. Only recently have

81
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.439
I then added the V two element
of that, the version two point zero,

82
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.439
and that in addition to awakening to
your passion, inspiration purpose, now

83
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.319
I want you to unleash that,
and so getting to be with you on

84
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.600
your journey as you just take and
you unleash your purpose and your passion.

85
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.079
That's where it's at for me.
Because here's the thing. If right now

86
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.680
only one person of the global population
is full of living their purpose, and

87
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.279
according to Karen Hoyas, that's the
number. When we get to three percent,

88
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.800
she says that human consciousness will we
raise such that peace is actually possible.

89
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.079
So for me to live and my
purpose to be able to somehow help

90
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.920
people. And I didn't help you, say, except I was on your

91
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.399
journey. But if I get to
be able to help more people unleash their

92
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.120
purpose, well now we've done something. That's why I wanted to have you

93
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.040
on the show. Well, I
tell you what, if you can do

94
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.720
you know half of what you've done
for me for the rest of the world,

95
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.319
you know, the world will be
ignited with an immense amount of joy

96
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.079
and vision. And there's a lot
of movements to create and if you are

97
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.639
the fuel behind them, so be
it. Well, it's so grateful.

98
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.519
That's my light, right, that's
so, that's the light that I get

99
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.920
to I get to live in so
and you know it, only it's only

100
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.600
precious for me when I get to
see people like you who actually go forth

101
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.560
and make it happen. So you
already had this idea, you know when

102
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.199
you when you called me on the
phone, you already had this idea.

103
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.879
You had a general gist of where
you wanted to go. And that was

104
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.759
the Red Dress story. So say
where that came from? And why was

105
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.879
it so important to you? What
was it? The Red dress story?

106
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.639
Yeah, so it was called the
Red dream I dream. Excuse me,

107
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.800
that's okay, because I always felt
like I was dreaming and red. I

108
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.120
dreamt of, you know, being
share when I grew up one day,

109
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.480
and I always said boys in red
gloves and just dancing and performing. And

110
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:14.160
so I always I felt like I
felt like there was something there, although

111
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.680
that wasn't really it. It was
really me connecting with my joy. So

112
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.959
I knew that I wanted something extraordinary. I wanted my own brand, true

113
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.879
abundance. I wanted to connect with
people in a fun and joyful way for

114
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.439
myself. And so the Red Dream
was kind of my first step into that

115
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.720
coming out party, if you will. So I ran off to Vegas.

116
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.160
I left my family in the Midwest, and I told them all I was

117
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.759
coming here just to figure out if
I wanted to live in Vegas, and

118
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:45.959
so I secretly camped at Red Rock
Cabin, Cannon Red Rock. Really,

119
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.040
of course you did. Yes,
I'm going to tell anybody, and so

120
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.839
it took me two weeks to muster
up the courage. I was sitting having

121
00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:00.839
coffee one morning and I googled nearest
the dance studio. So I the guy

122
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.000
that the gentleman that answered the phone
was actually with Dancing with the Stars.

123
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.240
He was with a Dance with Me
studio, which was about two miles away

124
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.759
from where I was sitting, and
he said, come and meet Serna.

125
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.800
She'll give you five lessons and life
will be grand. And so HI.

126
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.800
The next morning I got up and
I went over. I walked into the

127
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.680
studio scared to death, and they
heard what I wanted to do, which

128
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.319
was to perform for one or two
senior centers before I left by the end

129
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:28.000
of October, which was exactly two
weeks from that moment. So that's what

130
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.320
happened. I ended up practicing on
helicopter pads and in parks all across Las

131
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.240
Vegas, and I performed for my
first set of seniors, about seventy five

132
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.159
of them, and they had a
blast. We had a blast together,

133
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.679
and I just felt the you know, not just it wasn't happiness. It

134
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.519
wasn't like, oh, it's just
a moment of happy. It was like

135
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.639
this innate joy that no one ever
could take away from me again, So

136
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.000
that's really what sparked Joily. Wow, it just not magnetos. So let's

137
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.200
just hang on for that for a
second, because that went by so fast

138
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.759
and there were so much in that. And one of the things I have

139
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.960
written about you right to celebrate you, is that you know, in what

140
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.000
you've been able to do and accomplish
in such a short amount of time,

141
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.559
Cheryl, is nothing short of stunning. How do you how do you respond?

142
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.159
How do you answer for that?
I mean, how is that possible?

143
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.879
What you've been able to do in
that amount of time? I think

144
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.720
it was just the years and years
and years of looking and searching and running.

145
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.559
I think I moved forty times.
I I you know, I started

146
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.000
gazillion businesses all that were complete failures, and I think I was just sheerly

147
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:45.279
had sheer exhaustion from trying to figure
out the thing one more time. And

148
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.120
so I gave myself thirty days.
I said, you're going to get yourself

149
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.559
to stand up straight, and either
you're going to do it or not.

150
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.519
And so I just decided I had
to do it. There was no more

151
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.840
time to think about things that goes
back do that halftime stuff for sure.

152
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.600
Now what I'm not sure about,
and I don't know if you can,

153
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.559
if you can articulate this, but
do you think Joilie is your passion,

154
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.120
your purpose or both? I think
yeah, both, definitely both. I

155
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:20.279
just I feel like I feel like
joy requires connection, right, So if

156
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.480
you're connected to other people or creativity
or whatever it is that you're connected to,

157
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.919
it's in the moment. And I
always felt like I was really really

158
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.399
good at being in the moment,
and I just couldn't figure out who else

159
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.639
could, and I didn't know who
to talked to about it. Like I

160
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.279
sensed happiness and we had parties and
we had friends and we did all that,

161
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:48.080
but there was really no sense of
like long term, I couldn't.

162
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.879
I really just never sensed what joyful
was to anyone else but myself. So

163
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.360
so all through the years when I
was building organizations and real estate, I

164
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.960
owned a barn grill. I was
always the joyful one in the crowd.

165
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.200
I was always the one radiating the
most energy. I was always the one

166
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.440
that people came to when they wanted
to feel good. So I was that.

167
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.960
So then, so I think Red
Dream was just the catalyst to that.

168
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.120
It was just me connecting my soul, you know, to that to

169
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.840
the word joy. So somewhere along
the law you got some advice to write

170
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.759
out all the things that bring you
joy along those lines. When did that

171
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.440
happen? So that was That was
three weeks into my stay here in Las

172
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:35.159
Vegas. I was off. I
picked up a flyer on the the street

173
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.559
outside of a gym, and I
had been looking for dance shoes. And

174
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.360
I flipped over the flyer and it
said dance shoes available, please call.

175
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.399
And so I called Kimberly and she
ended up being amazing. She sold me

176
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.879
dance shoes, but she also took
me off to a seminar with Dale Halloway

177
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.879
and Las Vegas. It was a
two days seminar and she's like, you

178
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.120
want to do it. I'm like, of course I want to do it,

179
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.600
Like I'm here to figured this out? What am I? I don't

180
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.440
know? Why wouldn't I do it? So I went and the whole purpose

181
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:11.080
was about just processing the junk in
your life, like getting it out,

182
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.279
writing it down, writing down all
the things about money, all the things

183
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.639
about fear, all the things about
you know, worry and you know,

184
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.759
family and relationship. And I just
wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote for

185
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.600
two full days and then I had
a big bonfire at the end and let

186
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.399
it all go the best I could. Okay. So that's I think what

187
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.399
you're getting at there, specifically,
because you and I talked about some of

188
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.960
the catalysts that contributed to your awakening
to joy, and you said things like

189
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.600
the Parkland shooting and things. Is
that what you're talking about? Yes?

190
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.919
So so back in twenty sixteen,
I was living in South Lake Tahoe and

191
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.200
I had really just started well,
Yes, the Parkland shooting happened and I

192
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.240
was seventeen deaths and seventeen injuries,
and that sort of was the field for

193
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.039
me remembering the John F. Kennedy
shoe, the Rodney King or sixty three

194
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.840
people died in the La Riots and
two thousand some odd people were injured,

195
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.600
and then the Sandy Hook and then
you know, just on and on and

196
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.240
on, and I just I think, I just I was just tired.

197
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.960
And so that's when I went on
that you know, eighteen hundred mile trip

198
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.759
across America. So I started from
Key West, Florida, and ended up

199
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.679
in San Francisco with a small crew. So that that was the beginning of

200
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.960
me going this isn't this isn't okay
anymore. I just can't live a regular

201
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.639
job. I can't you know,
work a dine of five. I can't

202
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.200
build consumer based businesses. We don't
need any more consumerism, which was the

203
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.159
company that I was running with my
family. So yeah, so that was

204
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.080
all fuel for me to say,
there's got to be something else. And

205
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.960
when I got done with the walk
Walk Across Walking across America in August of

206
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.919
twenty nineteen, I decided that that's
when something else had to change. And

207
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.759
that's when I jumped in the car
and went to Las Vegas and started a

208
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.320
red dream. Well and so part
of what I find fascinating about your story

209
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.039
and listeners says really something for you
to ponder for yourself. This whole thing

210
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.200
about joy for you, Cheryl,
was like so writ large in your life.

211
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.639
Like it was like a bundanly obvious, like a you know, a

212
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.759
tattoo stamped on your forehead. Right, it was like gurgling just beneath the

213
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.080
surface. You know, Yes,
I put my finger on it, right,

214
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.679
And how great is that? Right? And so part of it is

215
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.919
and this is the opportunity that we
all have is to start. And some

216
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.440
of it's just what you did with
the radio show is you kind of engage.

217
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.639
What you did was you engage with
our conversation that Mel and I had,

218
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.519
and you kind of let it wash
over you. You leaned into it,

219
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.080
you played with it, you wrestled
with it, and from that wrestling

220
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.759
catalyzed a little bit more understanding for
yourself. And that's the process. Then

221
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.039
you can start to get more present
to this magical thing that is uniquely you

222
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.799
and usually often your purpose, which
is exactly what happened to you. That's

223
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.840
amazing that you can put it that
so eloquent. Yes, so my purpose

224
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.519
and my why and everything became about
joy. It was like the only thing

225
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.200
that I felt like I could focus
on to get more of, and if

226
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.200
I could, I just started asking
myself questions. It's like, how do

227
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.320
I feel more joy? And how
do I get other people to join me

228
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.000
in that joy? And those are
the only two questions I had that were

229
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.200
the fuel to everything that we're doing
now. So, and here's where it

230
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.519
gets interesting. After the break,
I want you to presence more of just

231
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.480
really what is joyly so that the
listeners really understand it. But before I

232
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.200
do, I want to take us
back to Aaron Hurst's work on purpose.

233
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.639
He wrote a book called The Purpose
Economy, and he does work in the

234
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.759
purpose space like I do as well. He also hosts a an annual purpose

235
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:46.559
conference. But he says that for
things to qualify as a purpose, one,

236
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.480
you have to be serving a need
beyond yourself, so not just your

237
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.200
need for joy, but others,
and that's what you're doing. Two,

238
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.120
in the process of being of service
to your purpose, you are personally growing

239
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.399
you certainly I see it every week
when we talk. And three, you're

240
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.639
building a community, which is exactly
what you're doing. How cool is that?

241
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.200
Right? So cool? I know
so, Aaron Hurst, You're spot

242
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.120
on right. We've got proof.
We've got evidence in her name is Shery

243

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.240

on Purpose. If you're just joining us.

258
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.880
My guest is Cheryl Lyn, founder
of Joilie. I'm your host,

259
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.319
doctor Elise Cortez. Before we pick
up where we left off here, Cheryl,

260
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.400
let me grab a question here from
Josh. He's in the live chat

261
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.599
room. Josh wants to know what
do you mean by purpose? So,

262
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:02.599
Josh, from my vantage point as
a purpose researcher and practitioner, there's lots

263
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:04.720
of ways to answer that, but
my favorite way and the easiest way I

264
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.559
think to get it is what Zach
Macurio says. He's been on the show

265
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:14.319
before, but he says, purpose
is our unique reason for being that betters

266
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.000
the world. So just think about
that. So for that just a second.

267
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.359
If you look at Cheryl, her
unique reason for being is about spreading

268
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.599
joy and that does better the world. So with that, Cheryl, tell

269
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.119
us help our listeners really understand what
are you doing it, Joily. So

270
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.880
there's so many things and I try
really really hard to keep it simple.

271
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.839
So let me try to do that. Joily isn't an event and media production

272
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.359
company featuring a speaker's bureau, and
so the whole idea is, of course,

273
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:52.319
joy is all about connecting. So
I wanted to connect amazing people like

274
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.559
yourself, doctor Alice, who,
by the way, is our very first

275
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.480
sage or speaker in our speakers Viall. We can tell about that in a

276
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:06.920
minute. But bringing together amazing speakers, coaches and authors to produce product and

277
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:14.640
to be on stages across the world, talking to corporations and individuals. Nonprofits,

278
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.799
profits all the same about ideas around
whatever it is that they teach,

279
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.519
but through a joy lens. So
I think all the communication that we are

280
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.839
giving to the world needs to be
set up through a joy lens. If

281
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:32.920
that makes sense? Is that clear? It's perfectly clear. Let's go back

282
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.519
to Josh's question about what purposes.
So what's really great about purposes? It

283
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.880
does become your unique lens through which
you view the world. It's opportunities,

284
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.319
it's problems, etc. So for
me, that lens is everything to do

285
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.920
with meaning and purpose. We have
a few more questions here. Let me

286
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.000
just get to this in just to
second here before we do, I want

287
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.519
to help presents for our listeners some
really important aspects of your life, and

288
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.519
they help really help us understand why
joy is so important for you, Cheryl.

289
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.039
We can't cover them all, but
I know you did. So for

290
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:10.119
a childhood accident, tell us about
what happened and what was the ramification of

291
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.640
that. Yes, absolutely well.
I remember. It was a bright,

292
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.480
sunny, beautiful day. I was
eight years old, and I was playing

293
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.880
in my sandbox in the backyard,
and I had a nanny with us,

294
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:27.559
and our grandma, we called her, and I remember putting the little trees

295
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:32.279
and the rocks and the stones in
the sand castles, and then all of

296
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:37.279
a sudden, I heard my name, Cheryl, and I remember standing up

297
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.519
and turning my head, and in
that instant, my life changed. And

298
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:47.400
the baseball that hit me square in
the nose really disfigured me for not just

299
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.640
that moment, but for the next
thirty years of my life. And so

300
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:56.039
I became a invisible human. I
did everything I could to stay away from

301
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:03.200
mirrors and people and friends and relationships
and curled in every corner that I could

302
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.079
find for a very long time.
So that was the accident. It was

303
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.400
messy, and I never got to
go to the to the clinic or the

304
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.240
hospital because Grandma didn't want any blood
spilled, and so it was. It

305
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.559
was tragic. And I tell the
story now because I think that everyone has

306
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.160
a broken story. We all have
something in our past that you know.

307
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.920
So you know, I wasn't you
know, it could have been a whole

308
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.440
lot worse, but it was a
broken nose, and it troubled me,

309
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.839
and it prevented me from from I
think, living my joy. M Yeah,

310
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:40.759
well so somehow you've I don't see
any evidence of that accident today,

311
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.200
yes, And I started making a
quite a bit of money in real estate

312
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.200
after I had three beautiful children,
and when I got divorced from from there

313
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.680
from my children's father, I saved
up enough money to have plastic surgery and

314
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:57.160
so yeah, I had a rhinoplasty
and it really did wonders and I would

315
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:04.680
say that it helped, you know, me as far as creating some pretty

316
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:11.240
pictures and maybe some better boyfriends and
those kinds of things. But you know,

317
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.200
I just felt sick inside still.
So it took many, many many

318
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.799
years after that of you know,
self self healing to really figure out what

319
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:22.319
was next. And I still work
on that. I mean, just when

320
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.200
I thought I had it all covered, I learned about brain spotting. We

321
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.839
can talk about that another time,
but that went deep into my eight year

322
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.960
old trategy and trauma once again at
age fifty six years old. So it's

323
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.640
ongoing. Okay, So DELI was
asking how long did that plague your life?

324
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:42.759
So this has been an ongoing You've
been evolving from this consistently over the

325
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.839
course of your life. It sounds
like absolutely. I don't think everyone anyone

326
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.480
gets over anything. You know,
there's always memories that are attached to it

327
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.119
as you go, so it'd be
like, you know, you know,

328
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.279
it's like, what about what about
relationships? Now? Well, I remember

329
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.880
one of my girl friends called me
beak woman because my last name was Beckaman

330
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.319
and that was, you know,
somewhere when I was in eighth grade,

331
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.920
and that memory came back. And
just the little things like that, you

332
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.799
know, they're just they're buried so
deep, and the more work you do,

333
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.559
the more you uncover them. And
brain spotting is really about deleting those

334
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.720
things, and so I just I
just have to keep on deleting and deleting

335
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.680
and deleting, and the more I
delete, the stronger I am, the

336
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.480
more I can sit up straight,
the easier it is to talk on Camran.

337
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:30.000
You know, I just see myself
evolving so quickly lately. It's it's

338
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.480
just mind blowing. I'm just having
a lot of fun. And the part

339
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:36.079
of that is because you're standing in
a passion and a purpose. It gives

340
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.079
you crazy courage and it gives you
crazy energy. And so we want to

341
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:42.759
let's go ahead and use your example
here to help with a question from Penny.

342
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:45.720
Penny wants to know how would someone
find their purpose? And are you

343
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.119
ever too old to find it?
So let me start with something and I

344
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.200
want to serve something to you,
Cheryl, So Penny, thanks for the

345
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.519
question. Fantastic question. No,
You're never too old to find your purpose.

346
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.079
I don't care if you're eighty nine
or one hundred. I'm serious,

347
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.880
dead serious, punt no pun intended, and then of course upun intended as

348
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.079
well. So there's a few ways
you can look, Penny, So you

349
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:10.480
can look for what have you been
your whole life and riveted on that just

350
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.640
has absorbed you? In my case, that was meaning and purpose. In

351
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.200
Cheryl's case, I think it was
this thing about joy. She was always

352
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.119
the person that people gravitated to and
they they they she was kind of I

353
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.960
think you were feeding a lot of
energy vampires. But right, so you

354
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.359
had an obsession. It sounds like
with joy, is that right? Sure?

355
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.480
Yeah, I think so. I
just I just figured out that the

356
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.319
more I went out on a hike, and the more I laughed, and

357
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:37.640
the more I danced, and the
more I sang, and the more I

358
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.279
played in the backyard with my kids, and the more I sat down and

359
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.640
colored with them, and I just
felt like the more I focused on joy,

360
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.559
the more joyful I was. And
I don't know, it just showed

361
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:51.319
up to people and they said,
what are you doing and who are you?

362
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.519
And how did you transform yourself into
this human and and I just I

363
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:59.279
said, it's just it's just the
only place I feel like I can live.

364
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.599
I just have to stay in enjoy
h Now. The opportunity, which

365
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.680
is what you have done so beautifully, is to fully embrace it. First,

366
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.079
see it for the gift that it
is, which is your passion and

367
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:12.920
your purpose in your case and you
have, and then to embrace it and

368
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.400
find a way to monetize it,
find a way to do something in the

369
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.200
world where you're being of service,
and you find a way to make a

370
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.839
living. So first, let's get
this really quick for Penny. So Penny

371
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.720
that one way to find your purpose
is to do what Cheryl did, which

372
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.920
is to stay true to what you're
fixated on and obsessed with and absorbed by

373
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.319
it, which is what she did. The second way you can find your

374
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.559
purpose is you can look for what
have you become by addressing and overcoming a

375
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.440
major adversity. And I would say
that was part of your path too,

376
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:47.400
Cheryl, in dealing with this baseball
accident. The adversity that you had to

377
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.519
go through to address and deal with
that came from that is part of what

378
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:55.720
catalyzed you a thing to be searching
for joy? Yes, oh, without

379
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.599
a doubt. I mean I can
just I see myself prior to eight years

380
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.160
old. I just feel like I
just had so much sunshine about me,

381
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.640
and then after the minute after,
it was just gone. So I don't

382
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.920
know if you know this, doctor
at least, but I've tried probably a

383
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.640
half a dozen different businesses to monetize
over the years, called the Field of

384
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.200
Love. I started a women's organization
called Women's Celebrations. I started a production

385
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.160
company called Beautiful Live Productions, where
I brought people in to tell their stories

386
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:29.640
on camera and things like that,
But it was just nothing felt authentic,

387
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.880
and I think that I didn't step
into my leadership like I needed to just

388
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.839
figure out what the dream. I
think all of them were good ideas,

389
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.400
and they all could have worked,
and I would have been monetizing, you

390
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.480
know, the gazookas out of it
had I just finished and stayed with them,

391
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.400
because they're all the same as what
I'm doing right now. And so

392
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.920
it was just a matter of stepping
into the leadership and getting your getting the

393
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.480
expansion to go. Okay, if
I'm going to go down this road,

394
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.200
I better be clear on what that
road is so that I can bring other

395
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.000
people with me and ask for people
to support, including you know, the

396
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.119
community and our members and all of
that. So, yeah, leadership was

397
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:12.359
something that was just huge on my
list of things to do. Yeah,

398
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.720
And so what you just said there
about you've just now not just now,

399
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.079
but somewhere in your past you've thrown
it together that these things that you were

400
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:25.680
doing before really were similar or overlapped
and supported each other. Then it's just

401
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.559
the opportunity to somehow get it into
your bones that yes, this is what

402
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.519
I stand for this is my purpose
and once you do that, that's when

403
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.200
the magic happens. Well, and
I think it's about finding people like yourself.

404
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:42.160
Like I didn't have the confidence or
the courage to ask enough people what

405
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.039
is this? What does this look
like? What does this sound like?

406
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.839
What am I trying to say?
Like? I didn't have the words right,

407
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.799
And so I went on upwork,
which is a resource online, and

408
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.480
I just typed in I put a
job description up that's a spiritual writer needed

409
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:03.240
for project and and Shannon answered and
she started interviewing me and going, do

410
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.839
you know what you're talking about?
This is so amazing, Like you're on

411
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.319
the cotting edge. So I don't
know what you know specifically what each person's

412
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.880
purposes that we're talking to in the
question period, question to answer section here,

413
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:21.720
but whatever it is, like,
just get your team together to help

414
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.119
you brainstorm and have a mastermine or
a whiteboard session and you know, and

415
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.039
come up with ideas and plans and
focus on and what it is and don't

416
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.160
quit until you get clear on what
it is that you want to do.

417
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.400
Yeah, And what I would echo
to that too is that I'm really big

418
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.640
on this. And so we've got
Josh, Penny, Jade and Dale awaiting

419
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.720
in on this conversation right now.
Nice, you know, we've got one

420
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.799
precious life. We do not know
how many days or hours that is going

421
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.079
to entail. So that the reason
that purpose works is it gives us an

422
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.519
urgency. And the more we get
into this halftime part of life, the

423
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.240
more urgent it becomes. So back
to the question of is it ever too

424
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.240
late, No, I would tell
you that your ticker gets even faster the

425
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.400
older that you get, because you
want to get to that purpose before you

426
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.440
actually leave the world. So last, let me get to this one.

427
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.119
Here. The third another place you
can look for purpose, And Jade,

428
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.359
I say, you're asking some of
the same questions, is you can look

429
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:22.079
for what awful or hairy problem do
you stand to address or solve in the

430
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.839
world. And for me, part
of that is that people are literally walking

431
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.920
dead through life and they don't know
it. So part of my job is

432
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:33.440
the anti undertaker to awaken them to
their passionate inspiration and purpose and then pursue

433
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.079
them and inspire them to pursue them
mightily to make a contribution worthier about one

434
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.960
precious life. And so now we
get to your area again, Cheryl,

435
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:47.440
So we think about what problem do
you exist to solve? I want to

436
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:49.440
map that over to another way of
saying that is, why do you believe

437
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:56.480
joy is so essential today? Oh
my goodness. I think I think,

438
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.680
like I said a little bit earlier, joy is about connections and it's it's

439
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.000
not it's not a it's not a
moment and it goes away. It's trying

440
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.079
to figure out even in the pandemic
and the global crisis, is that we

441
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.200
have all across the country, all
the shootings. It's like, how do

442
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:15.039
you figure out instead of running away
like I did, is how to feel

443
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.839
joyful and sustain that even in difficult
times. So you know, it's not

444
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.359
just a smile you play paste on
your face or you know, throw down

445
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.039
on social media and you know,
just to hope everyone thinks you're okay.

446
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:33.200
It's like really being authentic and vulnerable
and sharing your emotions, whether it's sadness

447
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.000
or shame or anger or whatever it
is. But it's to figure out that

448
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.279
everyone is in the same boat and
that that it's perfectly fine and if you

449
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.480
can get connected and talk about it
with people. I think that you know,

450
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:51.319
those joyful moments of vulnerability, as
Brenne Brown says, is where the

451
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:53.920
is, where the real joy is
and a sustain joy is what I mean.

452
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.599
Yeah, so I what I see
that, and it's there's no wonder

453
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.279
that you would I have met,
right, because there's such a complimentary complimentarity

454
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.599
to what we're each doing here and
bring into the world. And I,

455
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:11.880
in my view sharel Both of us
are energy workers. So in the space

456
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.400
of meaning, meaning is our ultimate
it's our ultimate energy source, and it's

457
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:21.640
motivating and so is so is purpose
and passion for that matter, and so

458
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:25.599
is joy. So in my view, what you're also putting into the world

459
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:30.960
is you're giving us essential, necessary, empowering, enlivening energy to help us

460
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.480
one power the world that we want
and to overcome just some of the awful

461
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:41.480
negative inertia that's out there. Exactly
exactly. But I don't know if you've

462
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.039
seen our logo, but the the
E and the joyly stands for enjoy,

463
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:52.000
elevate, engage, embrace, enlighten, empathy, energy, entertain and everyone.

464
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.920
So it's it's really about sitting up
straight and learning to know that the

465
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:04.119
answers are aren't on the outside like
there are gurus and their self help,

466
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.200
and there's classes, and there's business, you know what, all kinds of

467
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.880
things to do. But the bottom
line is it's the sitting still, if

468
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.160
you will, and then meditating and
asking yourself what are the answers, and

469
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.960
then looking for validation like I did
when I called you up and said I

470
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.880
think I have a really good idea. What do you think? And I

471
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.319
said, I love it? Do
it? We knew it. You were

472
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:28.559
my first cheer later on this journey. So I am so very grateful.

473
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.000
Well, what an incredible honor.
And you know it's that you, by

474
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:37.039
being in my space, you allow
me to live my purpose. Isn't that

475
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.279
amazing? So thank you for the
gift. It is it really, it's

476
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.640
just another period on the sentence that
says when you know something is right in

477
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:51.799
your innate being, like why in
God's green earth would you hold onto it?

478
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.960
Like the world needs to hear from
you. Like when I ran Beautiful

479
00:32:54.960 --> 00:33:01.039
Live Productions, I used to drag
chiropractors and and all kinds of clinicians and

480
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.119
Mary Kay people and just drag them
in the studio and I'm like, why

481
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.279
why are you doing this? You
know, tell people why you're so excited

482
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:14.799
and why you are the one that
they have to purchase from. And they

483
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.400
would and they would get so excited, and they were like, I'm like,

484
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.319
why are you keeping this a secret? Like people made to hear these

485
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.200
stories? Do you know what I
mean? Absolutely? I know what you

486
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.680
mean. I want to say more
about that, but let's grab our last

502
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.000
Purpose. If you're just tuning in, my guest is Cherylyn. She's the

503
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.679
founder of Joili. I'm your host, Alice Cortez. So to pick up

504
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.880
on that last point that you were
talking about, whore we took our last

505
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:09.320
break there, Cheryl about you know, why would you keep it to yourself?

506
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.880
What I would say right now,
listeners, you're listening to the show

507
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.960
for a reason. What I would
say is here we are in the grips

508
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:21.440
of COVID nineteen, the pandemic that
has really literally turned the world on its

509
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.599
axis. And what I have been
standing for is that every single last one

510
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:29.599
of us needs to get in touch
with our purpose and then bring it into

511
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:30.800
the world so that we can create
the world we all want to live in.

512
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:35.840
After this thing is over and done, with We need that need every

513
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.679
single one of you to be living
your purpose because that's the world that we

514
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:44.400
want to live in when we come
on the other side of this response question

515
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:50.360
reaction to that, Cheryl, Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, And

516
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.639
I just I want everyone who's listening
to call you up and have a brainstorming

517
00:35:54.679 --> 00:36:00.000
session, because if you don't know
what it is, you have no choice.

518
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.079
Uh you know, it's about you. It's about your children and your

519
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.119
grandchildren, and your brothers and sisters
and mothers and fathers. Like all they

520
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:13.079
want to do is see you live
joyfully. And so in order to get

521
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.440
to that, you have to step
into purpose. And I don't think like

522
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:21.000
Joily is you know, I expect
us to have a thousand employees over the

523
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:24.239
next five years. And so it
doesn't mean that you have to think of

524
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:28.800
a way to make money, like
it could just be you know, co

525
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:31.960
tailing on something that's already happening in
the world. Like I'm sure you're so

526
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:37.480
passionate about a million things, So
figure out which one makes your heart beat

527
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.760
the most. Like just sit still, like I said before, put your

528
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:44.719
hand on your heart and just figure
out and feel what makes your heartbeat and

529
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.519
then explore, explore, ask questions
of people like doctor Lee to get to

530
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.719
what it is. Yeah, what
I was also going to say is,

531
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:54.639
you know you talked about the importance
of having mentors and you called me.

532
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:58.719
You know, I can tell you
right now, I would not be living

533
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.639
my purpose if I didn't engage a
coach who helped me also better see and

534
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:06.840
articulate and understand my purpose. And
so you know, we're social beings.

535
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:08.800
I do think we need help,
and there's nothing wrong with getting help.

536
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:13.400
I think all of us need help. So I really want to echo that

537
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.920
I don't think this is a solo
journey. You can do a lot,

538
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:20.280
so much as you've done and so
have I, but to really get your

539
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.800
hands and arms around this thing,
sometimes we just need a mirror held up

540
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.440
by somebody else. Yeah, well
it's the fear factor. Like you know

541
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.760
how hard it was for me to
call you up, Like I just got

542
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:37.039
done listening to listening to you interview
metic and I mean, you know,

543
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:42.079
just a huge corporate CEOs And all
of your shows are two hundred how many

544
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.559
shows two hundred? Your your showed
over two hundred and two hundred and seventy

545
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:51.400
five woo. So but my point
is is that everyone on there seems so

546
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.360
amazing, and I've learned to respect
that, and I've also learned to step

547
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.960
into you know that we all have
something to share and give, and so

548
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.000
that's you know that it's cool.
But at the same point, if you're

549
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:05.199
like, why would she ever answer
the phone and talk to me? Like

550
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.840
that went through my brain, like
when I came to when I came to

551
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.800
Las Vegas, I said, you
know, I don't have any money to

552
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.880
go, and I stayed in a
campground because I wasn't about to tell everybody

553
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.679
I was coming to a dance studio
or take dance lessons and perform for seniors.

554
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.000
They would have all just laughed at
me out of the world, right,

555
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.840
And so so it became about what
do I have to do to figure

556
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:28.960
this out? Right? And so
I drove lift for thirty days while I

557
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:30.960
was here, and so I just
kept it a secret that you know that

558
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:35.239
this is this is something I have
to explore. But whatever it is,

559
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.000
you have to do, like you
have to figure it out by summoning up

560
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.679
the courage to call somebody who's either
gone before and or you know, just

561
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.559
straight up doctor at least. Yeah, you know, thank you, And

562
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:51.760
everything is figure out able, right, especially if you enroll resources and people.

563
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.320
And I love you know, going
that that you drove lift. I

564
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.920
mean, I've done all kinds of
crazy things to make money over the years

565
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:00.000
as I was en route to my
next thing. And you know, there's

566
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:04.519
there's grit in that, there's perseverance
in that, there's heart in that.

567
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.840
I want that for everybody digging into
that place. And so thank you for

568
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:12.480
sharing that. You're welcome. All
right, let's talk no more about Joily

569
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:15.559
and your Speaker's Bureau and the platform
that you've created, so sharing with us

570
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.199
some of the things that you're really
excited about that are happening now or you're

571
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.360
working on making happen. Well,
thank you for asking. And it's just

572
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:29.719
it's so exciting to talk about right
now because so I've decided that I'm creating

573
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.800
a movement, like everybody said,
everybody says that's what I'm doing, and

574
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:36.920
I've just sort of bucked that,
like, no, I'm just doing a

575
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:42.400
brand called Joily and it's fun and
I'm gonna wear yellow clothes and da da

576
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.360
da da da da da, and
so so the more the more I'm in

577
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:52.400
it, the more I am gathering
people like joyfully Jane and joyous Jill and

578
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:58.760
just all these amazing people all over
the country who are already doing amazing,

579
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.920
joyful things and we and so I
just want to be the person who brings

580
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:08.400
everybody together and we build up this
crazy funnel of hurricane energy and spit out

581
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:12.039
more and more joy in the world. Because the more you focus on joy,

582
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:15.079
the more joy you're going to get. So I just came up with

583
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:20.760
a momentum, I mean, a
movement, to some momentum create to create

584
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.679
the movement, doctor Lease, and
it's to have one billion people sit in

585
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:30.000
our chair. And I'm calling it
the e chair. So one person or

586
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:35.840
ten people or one hundred people will
be just fine. But because of this

587
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:39.159
inertia and this momentum that we've started
to create, we've come up with that

588
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:45.119
number. So there's a plan for
that. But and the chair is fantastic

589
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.920
one. It's just it's just incredibly
visually alluring. Tell us more about the

590
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.119
chair. Where'd that come from?
And what's the import of the chair?

591
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.000
Yes, beautiful, thank you for
asking. Well, it started because of

592
00:40:55.039 --> 00:41:00.599
my need to sit still. I
was always the running around, never really

593
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.880
meditating, and I was always the
one spending tens of thousand dollars on other

594
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.440
people's programs, and I never asked
myself what it is that I needed.

595
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:12.039
So not this chair that if you
look on the website, there's lots of

596
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:17.480
pictures of this six foot back high
chair with the gold embossed legs and the

597
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.159
white leather and the and the diamond
studs and all of that, but it's

598
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:27.440
it's it's more about a symbol.
And it could be a cost co chair,

599
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:30.920
could be any chair, but it's
a chair that that I think.

600
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:35.840
So the chair in general is a
place that we all sit right down,

601
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:37.599
we all sit right and it's a
very common thing. But if we're not

602
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:43.519
paying attention, it can go unnoticed. Like we might be sitting at a

603
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:49.239
you know, on a bench at
a park and and it's it becomes unnoticed.

604
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.119
Right. So the beauty is it's
we're we're not seen, we become

605
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:57.920
invisible. And so the chair,
the doily chair is kind of like a

606
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.480
frame to draw out the beauty inside
and the joy inside, if that makes

607
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:06.039
sense. It's kind of like beautiful, yeah, if the mona Lisa,

608
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:09.000
right, the Mona. Lisa didn't
have a beautiful she didn't just come out.

609
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:14.639
She's displayed, you know, in
a beautiful uh frame. She's not

610
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.719
sitting in plywood or on a costco
chair, if you will. She's she's

611
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:22.840
wrapped what's what's worthy of her,
of her dignity. And so I really

612
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.239
think that that this chair or any
chair that you have in your room,

613
00:42:25.239 --> 00:42:29.320
it's a matter of just sitting up
straight, you know, and thinking you're

614
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.199
the king and queen of king or
queen of that chair, and just tapping,

615
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:37.960
tapping to figure out what's bubbling beneath
your own surface. It's so brilliant,

616
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.400
Cheryl, It's just brilliant. I
just love it. I'n't a chair

617
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.159
too. People think it's a bit
nuts, like what are you doing?

618
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:47.079
But honestly, I took it out
at Toulone Mountain over the summer or right

619
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.199
before the pandemic was really you know, serious, and there wasn't you know,

620
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:53.800
there was some talk about about staying
home, so it wasn't quite there.

621
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:58.199
So I think I think at the
time I hadn't really given it much

622
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.800
thought. But I just took my
chair. I put it in the back

623
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:02.519
of my band and I put it
at the bountain, I set it out

624
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:06.679
and people laugh, They're like,
are you bringing your living room out?

625
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:08.719
And and can I send in your
chair? And what are you doing?

626
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:15.039
What's this solid about? In anyway, that got me a full page feature

627
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:19.719
in the Las Vegas Entrepreneur magazine.
So it was just about what are we

628
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.519
doing during the COVID virus nineteen COVID
nineteen to keep you know, to keep

629
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.880
our wits about us, to keep
our joy up. So the chair's got

630
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:30.000
lots of It's going to have a
story of its own. I know who

631
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.280
knows where it'll end up and how
many chairs in the world though, will

632
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.440
be at one point to create a
billion people that sit it in. And

633
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:40.519
you know, we're looking for chief
Joyly officers that are coaches across the country

634
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:46.760
to help facilitate that vision as well. Yes, and I'm so thrilled that

635
00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:50.679
I get to be one of your
sages. So we're getting really close to

636
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:52.960
being out of time, and I
want to come two more things really quick.

637
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.880
So you the next events that you
have coming up is the next one

638
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:59.840
Made thirty. There's your one before
that. Yep. The Mad thirtieth is

639
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:01.519
just our launch and it's a virtual
event. And yes, all of our

640
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:06.719
stages are coming and they're wearing yellow
socks. I got mine, Yes,

641
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.760
I got mine to come and wear
yellow socks and just show up. It's

642
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:14.000
just the beginning of the healing.
We will have some lapter, we have

643
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:19.000
some dance comedian that's just talking about
the stay at home you know process.

644
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.920
And yes, doctor Lesa, you
know you are one of our creators healers.

645
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.719
We call you stages a creator healers, scientists, author performer from all

646
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:30.679
walks of life who recognize that they
are leaders in authentic joy. So we're

647
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:35.119
going to talk about the eight Pillars
of Joy. M can't wait to be

648
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:38.760
involved any other immediate events that you
want listeners to know about beyond that one

649
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:42.920
for launch? No, I just
I think we're just getting our p's and

650
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.400
q's together and making sure that when
we do come out, you know,

651
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:50.159
in the fall, when everything's safe
and secure again, that we show up

652
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:54.440
with just really quality events and of
course more quality speakers like yourself. Okay,

653
00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.199
great, So then the next question
is what can listeners do? How

654
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:02.639
can listeners get involved with you?
And what would you What are the various

655
00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:07.000
ways they can connect and be involved
with you. Well, Number one,

656
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:10.400
go to joily dot com slash events
and register the events so that way you'll

657
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:14.320
get on our newsletter whether you actually
are coming to the event or not.

658
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.719
But then tell everyone you know,
every brother, sister, aunt, uncle,

659
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:20.559
and sit in your living room for
two hours and watch our event,

660
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:24.039
and I think you will be inspired
by what's possible. And as a leader,

661
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:28.159
if you're listening and you're a leader
and you want purpose and joy might

662
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:30.199
be your thing, Like, let's
talk and figure out a way that we

663
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:35.000
can get you involved and you know, and start spreading joy and collecting and

664
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.400
gathering all the amazing people that are
already doing joyful, joyful things across the

665
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:44.039
world. There's so much. We
just also just launched the Joily Awards,

666
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.199
you know, like the Grammy Awards, only it's the Joily Awards, and

667
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:51.280
so we're putting together a group of
people that will receive those awards in the

668
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:53.239
fall as well. So there's just
lots of things. It's just like let's

669
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.920
get connected, like, let's do
this. Let me echo something really important

670
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:00.679
that you're talking about, Cheryl,
and listeners, those of you that been

671
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:05.559
asking these questions about where to find
purpose and such. You really need to

672
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:10.719
have an ongoing, nurturing spigot up
inspiration, passion, possibility connection, which

673
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:14.920
is what Cheryl is offering on joyly
instantly, what I'm offering and working in

674
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:19.800
purpose in my programs. You need
that to stay vitally inspired for life.

675
00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.280
And so I really want to encourage
you to keep listening to programs like this,

676
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:27.000
come to Cheryl's event or be part
of her event. It's this is

677
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:29.440
the kind of stuff that keeps you
on that path. So I just really

678
00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:35.199
want to echo that. It's very
grounding, very very nice. I'm happy

679
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.639
you said that, because it's true, Like you just need to stay connected

680
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.079
and stay in it. Like if
I don't do something tapping into someone like

681
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:44.480
you every single day, then I
go off into a funk. And you

682
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.440
know, how does that serve anybody? Well? And it's too easy.

683
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:50.519
You know, this is part of
the part of the reason that we become

684
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:52.159
the walking dead. And by the
way, I've been a member of myself,

685
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.480
so I've been card carrying. It's
not that I was immune. I

686
00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:00.719
was too. You do need to
find a way to catalyze yourself out of

687
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:05.039
that tendency to walk among the dead, So you know, it's part of

688
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.480
the life that we live today,
and so making sure that we're being intentional

689
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:13.199
about where we put our efforts,
our energies and our intentions are really important.

690
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.559
So I'm going to say more about
where to find Cheryl in just a

691
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:20.480
second here, but I would like
to give my guest the last word,

692
00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:23.639
Cheryl. So you know this program
is listening to across the globe and we're

693
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:28.960
all about elevating passion, inspiration and
purpose. What would you like labor listeners

694
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:30.639
with today? How much time do
I have? I have a short story

695
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:34.920
about a minute. Okay, short
story, all right, really short story.

696
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:37.440
So I interviewed somebody by the name
of Stan and I just want to

697
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:42.800
I'd love to tell stories because you
can see where this is going when I

698
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.880
share. But he was a cotton
picker. When he was a teenager,

699
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:50.360
he went to a Jackson five concert, which inspired his family to buy all

700
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:54.159
the musical instruments. And to make
a long story short, when I interviewed

701
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:59.199
him, he gave his sense of
joy about music, and he told me

702
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:02.320
he hasn't taken his guitar out from
under the bed in years. And he

703
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:07.440
told me, I'm going to do
it today right. And that is what

704
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:13.000
we call we call unleashing joy,
passion and purpose. And that is a

705
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.719
beautiful contribution and worthy of your one
precious life. Cheryl, thank you for
