Summary
Salisia Valentine is an amazing woman I met on a boat while on a whale watching tour. She sat down next to me, we immediately clicked, and I knew that this is a woman who is not just existing, but living the kind of wild, free, and fierce life we're all craving. So, I invited her on the show to plant the seed in your mind about what it means to live a happy life.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Vibrants Happy Women Podcast. I'm Dr. Jen Ridey, and on this episode, I'm talking to a friend about how to live a happy life and not just exist. Stay tuned. |
| 0:12.9 | Hi, I'm Jen Ritey, and this podcast is for women who want to feel more vibrant, happy, aligned, and alive. |
| 0:20.3 | You'll gain the emotional, physical, and spiritual |
| 0:22.7 | tools you need to get your sparkle back and ensure that depression, anxiety, and struggle |
| 0:27.9 | don't rule your life. Welcome to the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast. |
| 0:33.4 | Hey there, my friends. I recently took a trip to Boston with my fifth child and second daughter Jane. We have a tradition of going on a 12-year-old trip, and this was hers. She wanted to go to a cold climate or colder with an ocean. So naturally, we got on Google flights and found the cheapest flights to an ocean and we landed upon |
| 0:56.2 | Boston. While we were there, we went on a whale watching trip and on that whale watching tour, |
| 1:01.9 | I met somebody and you get to be introduced to her today. Now, before we dive into that story, |
| 1:08.9 | I want to talk to you a little bit about living your happiest |
| 1:12.4 | life. This pandemic has left so many of us feeling like, meh, what do we even want to do? |
| 1:19.2 | We've spent a lot of time surviving and not thriving or existing, but not really living. |
| 1:25.5 | So I want to plant the seed before I talk with my guest, |

| 1:46.3 | should do or an employee should do or that you should even wear a bra, for example. |
| 1:52.7 | Side note, I just went to a store the other day and tried this experiment. |
| 1:56.1 | I can't tell you the number of women who looked at me with a frown like, ugh, where's your bra? So anyway, |
| 2:02.4 | my point is, I want you to plant the seed of thinking about the shoulds. What would happen if you |
| 2:07.9 | threw them out and did exactly what you want? I've been doing this experiment and, oh, it's getting |
| 2:16.9 | juicy. I'm getting really excited and feeling |
| 2:20.5 | very alive again. And as I step into the space of living my wild, true, free, authentic life, |
