Episode Transcript At Find Your Grit, we listen to feedback. So upon popular demand in this conversation, I'm excited to talk again with Brittany Rosson, who shares her return to the fitness world after the birth of her second child. Brittany's journey was fueled by her own past training as a former client of mine. Brittany holds multiple nutrition and fitness certifications as well as being a former D1 athlete. Listen in as we discuss the value of routine, starting small, and most importantly, forgetting our own self-imposed limitations. 00:35 Hello everybody and welcome to Find Your Grit. My name is Grant Taylor and I'm here with Brittany Rawson. Hey y'all. We had talked a little bit prior about consistency and habits and I think everybody wants to know a little bit more about you. So I think you stand for a lot of moms out there, independence, strength, and really how to find it yourself and how to be consistent with it. So go ahead and give us kind of a little bit of a rundown, kind of give us a little bit of a start into your life and who you are. 01:04 Yeah, here I am. I'm currently, I am married to a oral maxillofacial surgeon. I'm a mother of two boys, Everett and Ezra, four and one. And I'm a former D1 athlete, lover of wine and trulies. That is true. All those things. I chase a little bit of certifications at the moment, certified health and wellness coach, bar and group fitness, and just pursuing my. 01:35 My journey is fitness, I guess, pretty much right now. Well, tell me a little bit more about your D1 background. Yeah, so I think it's, I started gymnastics really young at the age of three. You know, my parents had kind of, I'm tiny, for those of you who can't see, I'm 4'10". So they knew gymnastics was the path. And so I started that really young at three. Did it all, and then I went into competitive cheerleading in high school, went back into... 02:04 cheerleading as a D1 athlete at the University of Mississippi, Hotty Toddy. Wow. Yeah, and did that. And so, you know, from there, that's kind of where my fitness, I think, is an adult journey began. Right. Well, because I think a lot of it is just kind of handwritten, especially when you go through a D1 college. I mean, it's expectations that you have to fulfill, but you know the expectations. So it's easy to keep along the schedule and keep that structure. 02:31 Yeah, so I mean there's definitely you're groomed, you know, and your entire schedule is set up for you. So it was like, oh, even my class schedule was just interesting. It was like a 5 a.m. workouts and then you know, you they had your schedule your class schedule and then I had you know, practice at night. So right it was interesting because you know, you go through this life of somebody pretty much doing all the athletic things for you, you know, childhood to high school to college. 03:01 And then when it was over, it was kind of over for me. It's like what now? Yeah, and I felt like people laugh right now because I'm in the stage. When I started all this, now I'm a little bit better. But when I started, I didn't know what I was doing. And they're like, what do you mean? You don't know what you're doing. You've been working out your entire life. And I think it's important to say those were structured workouts. Like I didn't. Of course. I couldn't just walk into a room or a gym and work out. I couldn't, it was nearly impossible. 03:29 I mean, I had a lot of people be like, I don't understand. But I was given these workouts that fit those aspects. And surely you wanna be skinny, so it's like cardio. And we need you to jump. We need you to get to the top of wherever you're going. So it was like, okay, well, we're gonna do some squats and you're gonna run. Of course, you become so dependent off of it. It's almost like you really do lose a sense of that identity because your identity forms with all that structure. Yeah, I didn't know how to do any upper body. That's insane. 03:59 Oh, biceps, what are those? Even as your trainer, I say that's insane because I've seen you do it. Yeah, now I'm so upper body focused. Yeah, I know. So being a D1 athlete, how does that correlate or a little bit of being like a mom into two kids and kind of getting thrown into that from that, the D1 to a mom? And it was hard because I went from having this guidance and structure to all of a sudden not, and I was excited about it. 04:29 I don't have to work out. Nobody's telling me to get up and do it. My 5 a.m. alarm is going off and it's, I'm not getting in trouble for not going to the gym. You know, like, and then I got married and had my two kids and there was still, I still enjoyed that freedom of knowing and controlling it. And so I didn't do it. So you had your kids, so like let's say a little time lapse. You went from college, you just graduated, you got married right away, and then your first kid came along right away, and then your second one came along. 04:58 That's a completely different job title. Oh my gosh, it was so different. In my journey between Everett, my first porn, and my second is night and day. Because I think I realized once I had Everett. 05:12 I was searching for something. I don't know if I knew what that was. You know, like, I knew that I wanted to start working out again. I knew that I didn't enjoy the way I looked, or I felt, or I was mentally drained. You know, you just have a child, and I feel like, you know, a lot of moms out there, they put on the super cape. They're like, you know, nothing's wrong, we're fine. I don't need anything else, because I'm a mom, and that's all I need, and I'm fine. 05:41 And it's like, really, homegirl, you're in the trenches. Yeah, right. I know. And you become a shell of a person. And I don't think, I mean, I don't want to say that doesn't happen for everyone, but you go from being very independent to somebody needing 1,000% of you. Yeah. Your body, your physically, your holding children, your lack of sleep, you went from being your own person to this tiny human needing you. 06:10 and you just give up everything. Right. You know, a lot of people try to make that glorious. And it is, it's wonderful. Being a mom is great, but it also is hard. And it's like, I feel like we need to make that very realistic that you become that kind of a person. So I felt myself drift into that. And I was like, oh, where'd Brittany go? Yeah, right. Oh, I go, wait, she is still a person. You know, yeah, she's a mom. But that's another thing that's huge for me now is. 06:37 I never want to be labeled as like Everett or Ezra's mom. Right. I want to be my own person. I'm Brittany. Hi, nice to meet you. You know, like, yes, I love my kids and they are a huge part of me. My husband's a huge part of me, but I am my own person. Right. I am labeled as Brittany Rawson. Yeah. She's a thing. Well, yeah, that's extremely hard to be able to work for a job with no job title. And it's almost like, but you're still working those 13 hour days and you're putting everything that you have into it, but... 07:02 you're not labeling yourself or choosing to label yourself as just, I'm just the mom, I'm just doing this. And I really gotta find myself to be able to then support what I want to be the best outcome for my kids and be the best mom, but I have to be the best me in the process. So what does that look like? Yeah, it was crazy, because I feel like it was, I knew, like I said, I was searching and I knew I wanted to do something, but I just didn't know what it was. So then I started gambling and all the easy things. No, that's a good one, gambling and all the easy things. I like that a lot. Yeah, like. 07:32 you know, there's always, well there's always, I don't want to call them trolls, but those like internet moms that are like, oh, join my online workout. You know, and then you kind of get, you're like, well this mom did it, okay, well, so I'll, and I don't want to say it's a great starting point, obviously y'all, that's where I started, but I did, I did those things, and I did the home videos or the workouts, and that's how I kind of got back into it, but again, I was searching for something, and it wasn't. 08:00 filling me. It wasn't fulfilling. And so I got back into the fitness world that I was I would do it and I was like you know you're reaching yeah I'm reaching there's something else out there yeah and so that was kind of my era with Everett was I was reaching I knew that I needed to change something I looked at my body and I didn't like how it looked and it's not in my jeans to be tiny and so I knew that if I wanted 08:28 to look in the mirror and be happy, that I was gonna have to put in a lot of work. It was gonna take a lot of hard work. And I knew that something had to change. It had to be different. Well, you found something that a lot of people struggle with is that initial step. What'd you found? It was that you were in search. You were searching. You were constantly looking for something more and more and more. So I'm sure that when you walked into the gym, that one special day. Yeah, so I've had Ezra. 08:55 my second child and I was four months postpartum. Yeah. Yeah. Four months postpartum. Um and I had worked out my entire pregnancy with him so I was already starting out way better than I was with Everett. But again it wasn't I'm still searching. I knew there's more out there. Uh and so I walked into a different gym and I said you know this is gonna be different. I have to do something different. And so 09:23 I was working on my own for like a month and I kept watching you train people and you were kicking their ass. And I was like, I want my ass kicked. I want that. You know, like I was looking at, I obviously wasn't getting where I needed on my own and I needed some guidance. 09:42 and I just didn't know where to go. And I looked at you and I was like, that's it. I'm going to try that. There was so much energy. There was so much power behind you when I first met you. And when we sat down and I started to ask you and I asked you really, you would tell me your background. You gave me the elevator pitch behind it. And really to me, there were just notes because the first question I asked was why? You know, why'd you show up? Why do you want to do these things? I understand what you want, but why? And... 10:11 Your answer was more of an action because at first there was no answer. I never got an answer. It was just like, can we get started now? Like, can we do this now? Go out there. It took off. You found yourself taking, what did you say? The, you're gambling on easier routes? Yeah. I was like trying all the easy things. I knew I would be successful. Right. It's the only things I was doing. Right. And I think a lot of people that find that to be structure is in structure because it's easily just a comfortable cage. Like a bird with a clip wing inside of a cage. 10:40 and you just needed to get out that window and free. And so I'm glad that we were able to build that because at a first initial consultation was far more beyond just you because it was about everything that you stand for. And that's why I love what I do and also love why I worked with you and what we were able to find. Yeah, I think the past couple of years I've really found myself and my own purpose and my voice. Yeah. I have to say I'm a little spicy now. 11:08 Yeah, definitely are. But, you know, like my why was it wasn't for anybody else. It was for myself. And I think that's really important is a lot of I don't want to put moms in a box, but you know, we give everything to everyone else. Yeah, and there's nothing left for us. And I was like, no, no, this is for me. Yeah, like I want to do this for myself. I want to do this not for my husband or not for my kids like. 11:35 If my kids, which my oldest is four, and now he looks at me working out and he wants to do it. Like, he's shown you his, he loves to slam medicine balls. It's the cutest thing. My man wants to do those push-ups in front of me. Yes, he wants to show great, everything. He's a man. But he sees me doing it. And it's not, I'm not doing it for him, but it's great that my kids see this motivation that I have and they're feeding off of it. I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for myself because when I'm a better person, everyone's. 12:03 everyone that touches me is a better person. That's a very powerful statement. So I came in knowing that not that I don't care about everyone else in my life, but I needed it to do it for myself. And that was very passionate about that. Yeah. And I came into the gym and whenever I came in the door, I just stopped whatever was else that walked in behind me. Yeah, you definitely did. And it was there. I was like, no, no, I have two hours to give myself and I'm by damn not walking out leaving everything on the map. 12:32 You pride yourself on being the hardest worker in the gym. And that holds to who you are. You're so easily able to then look back upon how you are as a mother and all that love and empathy and compassion of what it gives out of you. That you are just, you have a child that comes in that door and that you just gave life to. You love that child with so much unconditional love that it doesn't, you give it that. This is the one thing that you earned. So when you earn that love back and you earn that respect, then no one can take that away from you. 13:02 you created a boundary so thick and so tall that you could not break out of it yourself. And so, of course, going into that, you're thinking, well, if I'm gonna be a better me, then of course my children are gonna be the best, and I'm not gonna harp a focus on how to be the best, I'm just gonna be the best. And then by a byproduct of that, everything else would be the best. And I think that's what gave you such a good trajectory and a good, like, you know, 13:26 a good push into joining up into that. And I definitely think that being a hardest worker in a gym was something that you had above everybody else. Yeah, I definitely did that. I went in and I put my headphones in and I kept my head down and I just was there to work. What do those wins feel like? Every time that you won, every single day, as we go into detail, but everything that you had done and you walked out of that gym, what was that feeling like? Well, I told myself that if I win today, like if I win this one day, I can't fail at my. 13:56 further goals. Like if I'm winning every day and I'm giving the best I can right now, that goal, like you know, the end goal, I've already met it. Like there's no way I was going to fail at that if I was giving 110 right now. Yeah. And I did that every day. I walked into the gym. I said, why I'm here? And I'm giving 110%. And when I walk out, my day's set. You know, like if I do this, now if you go in and half ass it, you're half assing your day. You're setting that tone. And then like, I don't know, like I'm going in and I'm doing it. 14:25 And I did, I made sure during that timeframe that I gave, I set myself, it was like three months I think. That's what we, I showed up every day. Y'all didn't miss one day of that goal. I like what you just said though. Every one of your wins, what people would count as meaningless, they'd quickly right go over their head. You had said though, I'm not gonna, I've already achieved my bigger goal. Yeah. 14:54 I like to dive into that a little bit because I think what you had found was fair perspective. You've given yourself meaning to what meaning is. And so once you found that, you realize that those goals that you're setting are now a lot more narrow because the bigger goal was that finding yourself. It was finding the purpose, finding the meaning to meaning. And you did that through the process and you found that early. 15:19 I think you were able to establish that really early, and that's why you were able to achieve these big goals, because you were able to give yourself the vulnerability to be uncomfortable, to then grow. And so many people don't have that. Oh, it's so hard to find, too, y'all. Because we all go through, especially when you're searching, and there's so many people out there that do this, and I feel like that's why it's important to me to talk about is when you are searching, you go through these weird, oh, I'm gonna try this work, I'm gonna try out this guy, I'm gonna try this, I'm gonna, you know, you gamble and. 15:48 a lot of things until you think you found it and I did that. I tried a lot of those things that didn't work. So I sat down and I really dissected what was going wrong and how I could change it and if I just looked at one day at a time instead of a huge end goal that I was like that's how this has to work because if I look at oh this week Monday I'm doing strength and I'm this is my I was already looking to some day that wasn't even present you know just like being present in that. 16:17 one day at a time and that's all I need. I knew if I just did that, that my mindset was going to change and that's what it really was, is I had to change my mindset to succeed in that end goal because you can't look, even a week ahead, I felt like was hard for me to do because I'm like, I can't do that. I'm already looking to Friday, it's Monday. Where did you find that in our training? Like when we started the training and all of these things started to collide. 16:45 You know, this has been a little over a year now, but all this stuff that we're talking about now and your perspective upon life has been found within that time. Because that's how quickly it's been able to grow. It's like you're able to digest it a lot quicker because you can now see it for what it is. You're giving it fair perspective. Where in that timeframe of us training, like especially the detail going into you passing over goals that I had set for you that were beyond... 17:13 you even your expectations or what you even thought was possible yet you were doing the impossible and then that projecting all of the other feeling that you had of like no I can do anything now like now I can look at the day for the day and now I can do this and that was there like a pivoting point of something specific of a workout maybe that or something that I had done or that we have done that had projected you to overcome certain obstacles in your life that kind of stood more for something. 17:42 Yes, so, you know, like I said a couple seconds ago, was that I didn't know what I was doing in the gym. You know, like there were certain things, I was like, oh, and then when I met with you, the first thing you handed to me was a kettlebell. And I was like, I don't know, what the hell you want me to do with this thing? You know, like. I literally believe you said the same exact thing. You really said that exact same thing. You were like, you're swinging, I'm like, I'm not swinging that. No, I'm sorry. And you're like, you can do this. And so, you know, you go from, I put myself in this box and I knew I needed to get out. 18:11 or I wasn't going to succeed, or my body wasn't going to change my goals. And I was like, oh God, all right, we're doing it. We're gonna swing this kettlebell. And so I got really comfortable with the kettlebells. You made sure of that. Like we were doing all kinds of things. And then it went on to after I got comfortable touching things in the gym, and I was doing that, right? Like I was doing the ladder successfully and I was doing these kettlebells and my goal then went to pushups. I'm sorry, not pushups, pullups. 18:42 And I was like, I want to do one. I remember being like, I want to do one pull-up. And we'll talk about that in a minute, but then it went into these box jumps. And I remember that was like the worst thing in the gym was that damn box. Like I would look at it and I would run the other way. And if there was a class that had the box, like you can walk in and see like what was written on the board. And I was like, oh, box jumps, I'm out. I'm going to go do something else. I wouldn't even. 19:11 look at it. It made me cringe. I would run the other way. So you started incorporating some box jumps and Yeah, you didn't like that. No, that was a very I take deep breath because I think I look back in that moment of when they started and where I'm at now with them and it's like so humbling. Yeah. Because I remember being like I don't want I'm spicy now, right? I have a voice. I don't want to do that. 19:39 I don't want to do it, take it away, go back to those kettlebells. I'm not doing it. And I hated it. I hated the box. So then I was like, okay, why do I hate the box? You know, it's hard. And I had to figure out one why I hated it and how to get over the box. Because I didn't give you a choice. And that's the point is like, the cues that you gave me were so clear. It wasn't the way that you twitched your eye or you looked at it or you took a deep sigh. 20:09 You literally had said, I hate the box. Like I don't want to do it. As a trainer, exercise out the window. Literally me harping and going into detail of how you're going to be able to execute it, how we're going to be able to have progression through it, wasn't the explosiveness, it wasn't the range of motion. Simply the reason why I did it was because it was 100% mental. And because I knew that you had to get through this to be able to do more. And so then it made you question everything. And then as the more you question, 20:39 I remember very clearly that those beginning days, you started to question those thoughts very highly geared. You're a very highly geared person. You and I have that very much so in common. But you would digest it so fast that it would almost start to dig a rabbit hole a little bit deeper and deeper and deeper where then I would be like... 21:01 you got five seconds, like go. I would try to distract you from doing it. I know, you literally would. And then I remember you jumped, your knees went like weak and then you'd go and you'd flat right on top of it. And I would say, again, again, again. So then those thoughts, then in like, they didn't have time to process. It was more of just though, okay, I fell, I'm off, let me do it again. And then once you did it, then those questions that you had before had an answer. And then God, we build from there. I mean, that was huge. Oh man, well, they didn't lit a fire underneath me because once... 21:27 for those of you that don't know box jumps, it goes from like 16, 24 to 30 inches. And so we started at 16, and that was, you know, the challenging mental breakthrough, was like, I can get on the box, I can do it. And then after that, I was like, well, all right, can I do 24? We can, all right, well, let's try it. Put it in perspective, let everybody know how tall you are again. Oh yeah, no. 21:55 I'm 4'10". You're 4'10". Yeah. So that box jump. So the 30 inch is two inches taller than half my height. Yeah. So let's put that in fair perspective. So yeah, it's taller than half of me. Viewed this box as a challenge and so I met with you once a week and you'd give me workouts and I followed very strictly to the workouts. After every workout, every day y'all, I did not miss. 22:21 A Sunday through Sunday. I went every day during these three months. I made sure I was determined. And after every workout, I pulled out this box. And this is no lie. You can go back to the gym tape. I get the videos of it. People at the gym knew me as the box girl. I was determined that I was going to succeed in continuing this. And so I would pull out that box every workout and I would jump boxes at the end. I mean I... 22:51 look back and I'm proud of myself because I'm like, you did it. Yeah, you did. You did. I went from like not like getting a full running start to like hopping on it to like setting on the ground and being able to jump on top of it. So it was definitely a rewarding moment when I hit that 30. Oh my God, that 30 was a day and every day that we met because giving you a program of what to do on those other six days. 23:18 you knew exactly what you had to do. When I was with other clients all throughout the day, I'd always see you in my peripheral vision, just killing ass. And everybody would look at me and say, that, the client of yours, is it ridiculous? Like she's insane. And I'm like, she is, she is insane. But you were known as the box girl, and truthfully. But then that day, which I love to be able to talk about, is because I have a video of it, and it captures, oh my God, probably one of the few videos that I look at that gives me chills. 23:47 because of how much power that every once a week, we're talking one hour out of 162, 164, that you gave to me in one hour, but it was game day. You had no idea what we were gonna do, but the program that I'd set aside to prepare you for that was what you did. So every day that we met were huge progressions. There were huge leaps forward. I think it was, we PR'd almost like every time. Every time we had PRs. But that day, when I set up that box, 24:16 and you approached it, all eyes stopped. And they're like, there's no way that little girl is about to do that. And so I knew when we, at the beginning of a warmup of that day, we just kinda kept moving along, and then we got to the point that I was like, look, the day is coming. So as I'm doing this, as people are slowly looking, I knew when you gave me that look, the first time when I pulled up that box, there was fear, but the fear and anxiety did not override the excitement. Because you knew. 24:45 that I put in so much hard work that no matter what, I'm going to get up there. Physically was not thinking about it. I knew you were not thinking about it. You were thinking mentally, I'm already on top of it. So I just got to get on top of it. And when I pulled out of that camera, and you get that running start, and then you know what, it was a two-stepper. So you took a one and a two, you went down and you did it. Those legs went up way above your jawline and then you plop right on top of it. And as you stand up, 25:15 Everyone roared. People came up to you like they were related to you, giving you a hug, like, Britney, my gosh! I was like, how do you even know my name? They just roared. It was like you literally just won the championship of the NCAA title. Like you just won the Super Bowl. People looked at that. The gym like stopped. They stopped. And I look back on that moment and it gives me chills now. And I really think about it and I'm like. 25:41 That wasn't a physical thing. That was just, that was such a mental progression and growth of you being so uncomfortable that you just created a PR out of you being uncomfortable. And how incredible that is, people can feel that. They don't need to know who you are or what you do. What you were able to show and provide was for you. And that was easily interpretable to everybody else around you. And I can guarantee every single person around that. 26:08 looked at you and did that to say, I need to do better. Yeah. Oh, well, it's incredible from that moment right there. How many people come up to me in the gym and say, ask, how did you do that? I can do that. And I wish that I could carry my hands because it's been so many people. Now it makes me so happy. If you're seeing this, I'm smiling ear to ear. But how many people I've pushed to do box jumps because of that moment. It makes me so happy inside because I'm like, you can, you can do this. I mean. 26:38 on let's try it and right then and there I'll like throw out a box in front of somebody I pull a grant I'm like you're gonna do it I know it that moment in itself because I remember working up to it and you were like you don't do it without me don't do it less I'm there I'm like I'm not I'm not and I think you know people like you said that don't even they didn't know me in the gym we just know each other's faces I don't know their names still to this day there's people in there that I don't know in 27:07 It was like a journey together. Everyone, if you're at the gym at that time, you saw me going through this hardship almost, right? Like they saw me training, they saw me doing this, and they're like, oh, oh shit, she's doing it some days a day. Like, and literally the entire class stopped. I mean, everyone stopped what they were doing and was watching. And it's a moment I'll never forget because I felt like I went through it and it was just like this happy relief and moment. And I remember just being ecstatic and it was almost just like this, I did it. 27:36 there was so much deeper of a meaning behind it. It was like, what was a box jump to others because of what that magnifies in their eyes is already big enough, but what it was in your life was the reason of why I made it special. And the reason why I chose to keep that as our number one goal, because I knew that what that held as purpose and what confidence means to you and the definition that you give it is completely different of what people try to chase. And you found that as... 28:03 you know, a mom, you found that as a D1 athlete, and now you find that as an all around, just leveled out, complete performance athlete. And you're able to stay that consistent. And that's insane. So after hitting those PRs, hitting your box jump, and having those incredible moments, we just kept building. We literally just said, okay, that wing that was clipped, now guess what, you're flying, and then literally you would ask me, what's next? Okay, like literally, what's next? And we did, and we kept on going and going. 28:33 So I mean, our journey has yet to even hit that mark. And I think that's incredible. But back to those days of you finding yourself with the motivation low or consistency, lacking and the goals, you didn't make them over the top to where you couldn't digest them. You made them reasonable. You gave it fair perspective. You were fighting for the day. And that gave you the win that you were able to move and constructively build upon to say, I'm going to reach that goal. I'm already reaching it. I'm already there. 29:03 because I've given myself that perspective. So what would you suggest to other moms and other women out there that are going through the same struggle? I think you need to like really dig deep and find your true like why. What, when you look in the mirror, what is your why for wanting to change something? Right, so start with that. Yeah, like looking really digestic. Cause 29:28 you're gonna go through many stages of that. But like really dig deep. I could like look in the mirror and spit out something in two seconds, but it took me like setting down and really dissecting those whys to be like, well, this is really the underlying cause. Like, I want it for myself. Oh, cause I feel like the first thing is right. Oh, I just had a baby or I have kids. And it's like, okay, well, like scratch that, keep going. Like go a little bit deeper. 29:53 it's there, we just like hide it. Cause right, we have a superhero cape on, take it off. It's okay, be vulnerable. Like, you're only gonna grow in your vulnerability. So like, be vulnerable with yourself. You're only gonna grow in your vulnerability. Yeah, I mean, right? I completely agree, I love listening to you talk. I mean, you're really painting such a good picture and such a good example. And no, but you're right. You are right on so many aspects. And I just want people to like see that vulnerability in me. Like I want... 30:23 It's okay to be the hot mess. Y'all, it's okay. It sure is. We do, we grow on that vulnerability. It's okay, things are hard, but we get past them, we grow as a person. And then I have this new mantra I tell myself that I live by now is like, if I'm not giving myself 100%, I can't give anyone else 100%. So, you know, my children deserve 100% of me. My husband, like, my... 30:51 endeavors in life, you, like as a friend, you deserve 100% of me. Like everyone that I touch deserves that. And if I'm not giving my house itself 100%, I'm not giving it to you. I'm not being who I need or want to be. So giving it to myself, making sure I'm whole and I'm good and then everyone else will be good. Wow, that is really powerful. And I love listening to you say that and because it's true. It is like you just have to... 31:21 Cater to yourself for a minute, you know, and then you're happier And don't you feel this sense of such a confident belief that you already know that to be true So like telling that out loud or saying it out loud doesn't belittle it It almost be like other people would say that they had found this so they have to prove to the world How confident that they are and all this I want you to find it Exactly isn't that amazing is like once you find that and you find that someone and you find out something and then you're able to get it and grow it's like 31:50 I want everybody to grab it and just look for it for what it is, but man, it does not happen without your steps that you described of your one, two, and three. The things that you had to do first to keep that consistency, and at the end of the day, of everything that you have achieved, it was fair perspective. It was giving yourself respect. Yeah, make realistic goals. Like, you know, make small, realistic goals that you can achieve every day, you know? Yeah. And, yeah. Wow. That's incredible. 32:17 I really do believe that you stand for a lot more of who you are, but to all the moms out there, to women out there, the men out there, you show a lot of that resilience. And that's what Find Your Grit is. And you are a big part of that. And our relationship and what we've been able to achieve together through that has been really inspiring to not only myself, but it's... 32:41 It's almost as though it doesn't even need to be explained of how other people interpret it because it's it's just that love like you said that 100% there's truth has a ring to it. Well you I'm gonna brag on you for a second because you're you always say like like your mantra is like the 1% better every day. And I mean you it comes off of you you say that and it's like oh and I remember like honing in on it and you would say that was like oh man and so it's funny that you said it and now I'm like. 33:08 my mantra is a little bit different than yours, right? Like, of course you give it a different definition, different perspective. It was funny because it started with you and it's just like you have to have somebody in front of you that you've seen and it works and it, it speaks to you. And if it speaks to you, it's going to speak to you in a different way. Like it does me. Of course. But it stuck. Wow. And so it's like, if you can just keep spreading it to people and it's, it's truth and it's honest. Yeah. You're being honest and you're being vulnerable and you're being raw. 33:38 people are gonna listen to it. And they may not take 100% of it, but they're gonna take something from it. And if I can give that to anybody, that's what I wanna give. I wanna give my vulnerability, my rawness, my truth, and hopefully it helps someone in some way. I hear you. And that's why we do what we do. And we ask for nothing to receive back. It's really just, it takes a part out of you. It really does. But hearing you say that, it gives my, what I do, so much more of a smile and a feeling as though I just, I love what I do. 34:06 and seeing you the way that you are is my, what you give back to me. And that goes along for everybody else in the way, and that's just what we do. Brittany, that's incredible. I'm sure everybody's gonna listen to this and be incredibly inspired because your story is very impactful. And you're just- It's not finished, y'all. It does exactly what I was literally just about to say, that you would literally still have that pen in your hand and you're rocking. What's next? Exactly, what's next? 34:36 Well, everybody else is going to be able to find you. I'm sure, I mean, I already know there's a lot of discussions yet to still be had. And there's a lot of topics to go over. But now everybody gets a little bit more of a sense of who you are. And hopefully, which I'm sure they're going to be able to resonate with. Thank you again for being vulnerable enough to share your story and your path. And I know it's going to change lives out there. And so you found your reason why. You found your grit. And let's let others find that. 35:04 Thank you, Brittany. And stay in tune. You're going to be hearing a lot more from Brittany here at Find Your Grid.
