0:00.0	Welcome back to Out Loud and Unfiltered. I'm here with my bestie business partner and husband of 22
0:06.9	years, Brett, and we're so excited to bring this episode to you. We want to recap all the things in
0:12.5	January that happened. Like I said before, a lot happens in a month with us. So I had to get a little
0:18.1	comfortable today because we have a lot to break down what we
0:22.0	learned in business, life, and faith just in the month of January, 2026. And I really hope and
0:27.6	pray that this blesses you back, that it encourages you and inspires you. So let's get this party
0:32.7	started, Brett. Let's roll it. Okay, so we wrapped up January and I want to cover business first. We learned a lot. I almost said we lost a lot. We did lose and gain and just all kinds of stuff in business. So- As long as the net net is positive. Yeah, exactly. Net net is positive. But what I wanted to talk about first in business that I learned the most is just
0:54.2	how sacred and incredible our network is. I mean, we kicked off the Live Out Loud Elite Mastermind
1:00.3	Retreat. And what was so cool about this year in January was we went back to the place that we
1:06.8	were at seven years ago at the Lido House in Newport Beach. Back then, we were still living
1:11.5	in North Carolina. You weren't even there. You were traveling with your 25-year career job
1:15.9	that we talked about on the first one. Yeah. And I came out to Newport Beach. And my elite
1:21.3	mastermind retreat back then was 12 women. 12 women. That was the whole retreat. Two of which were there this past year.
1:29.5	That's what was so exciting is that this elite mastermind retreat was filled with almost 60
1:35.9	women. The retreat that we did seven years ago with 12 women, we did it in a cottage. The whole
1:42.9	retreat was in a cottage. This time time we took up two cottages just with our team and then we had overflow in the hotel. And then we had a super big space. But this is what I learned. It's just so incredible to, again, play the long game in business. If you want to know more about that story, definitely check it out on Instagram at Live Out Loudbrook. We did a couple posts about it because it was just so special
2:05.3	to me to not only see the growth and the multiplication over all the years, to be back in a space
2:10.5	where I started that I had no idea that 12 would turn into 60, that our team, back then the team
2:16.3	was me, just me, myself and I. And this time,
2:20.7	I had a team of like eight people with us, maybe 10, I don't know, eight to 10. Yeah.
2:25.9	I think there was eight of the team there. Yeah. And the most incredible part was we had women in
2:31.2	the room that were there back then. I had women in this elite mastermind retreat
