I feel there's a lot of comparison 20 00:01:03,161 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: and competition on their end, which gives me the ick 21 00:01:05,601 --> 00:01:08,441 Speaker 2: and forces me to be more private, not highly active 22 00:01:08,481 --> 00:01:11,481 Speaker 2: on social media, and just find myself sticking to myself. 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,281 Speaker 2: This may sound stupid, though, things like what I've done healthwise. 24 00:01:15,321 --> 00:01:17,641 Speaker 2: For example, I started running over two years ago. No 25 00:01:17,681 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: one really knew as I just ran a home on 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,201 Speaker 2: the treadmill. All of a sudden, there's one friend who 27 00:01:21,241 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: didn't have any interests found out and bought the same 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,681 Speaker 2: treadmill and now runs. Oh, I've got so much to 29 00:01:25,681 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: say on this, certain things that I bought. Even a 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 2: friend bought the same car and dyed their hair the same. 31 00:01:31,521 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: I have lots of conversations with my husband and he 32 00:01:33,481 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: has been amazing support and suggested maybe I inspire them 33 00:01:36,161 --> 00:01:38,881 Speaker 2: with the way I live, and that it's not intentional. 34 00:01:39,121 --> 00:01:41,121 Speaker 2: I just want to have deeper connections and friendships where 35 00:01:41,161 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 2: both of us can just be so raw, open and honest, 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,121 Speaker 2: not just the surface level stuff or for my friends 37 00:01:46,121 --> 00:01:48,401 Speaker 2: to just say that I inspire them. I don't even 38 00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:50,561 Speaker 2: know how to describe it, though. Maybe I feel stagnant 39 00:01:50,601 --> 00:01:53,481 Speaker 2: in my current friendships and I'm searching for more, more connection, 40 00:01:53,601 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: more fun, more growth, more healing, more laughter, and better health. 41 00:01:56,561 --> 00:01:58,681 Speaker 2: I feel like a mum who's finally feeling herself and 42 00:01:58,761 --> 00:02:00,281 Speaker 2: is ready to level up, and I want to surround 43 00:02:00,281 --> 00:02:02,241 Speaker 2: myself with like minded people who just want to push 44 00:02:02,281 --> 00:02:04,401 Speaker 2: each other to be the best version of themself. So 45 00:02:04,481 --> 00:02:06,761 Speaker 2: my question will be hang around and take on your 46 00:02:06,801 --> 00:02:08,881 Speaker 2: suggestions and how to go deeper within a friendship or 47 00:02:08,921 --> 00:02:11,641 Speaker 2: to branch out and find new connections. Please help. I 48 00:02:11,721 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: just want an incredible sisterhood. First of all, when you 49 00:02:15,761 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: say you feel like there's a lot of comparison and competition, 50 00:02:17,881 --> 00:02:19,721 Speaker 2: which gives me the egg and forces me to be 51 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,681 Speaker 2: more private, No one forces you to do anything that 52 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,481 Speaker 2: is your choice. Even saying it that it makes you 53 00:02:25,481 --> 00:02:27,641 Speaker 2: not be highly active on social media and you find 54 00:02:27,641 --> 00:02:30,081 Speaker 2: yourself sticking to yourself. That is all a choice, and 55 00:02:30,121 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 2: I think it's how you're taking on what they're doing. 56 00:02:32,601 --> 00:02:34,721 Speaker 2: And then when they buy the same treadmill or buy 57 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,681 Speaker 2: the same outfit or start running. I don't think that's 58 00:02:37,721 --> 00:02:39,761 Speaker 2: a bad thing. I think it's beautiful if you start 59 00:02:39,761 --> 00:02:42,201 Speaker 2: a running and then maybe you're looking great, you're feeling great, 60 00:02:42,201 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: and your energy's change and they're inspired by that. There's 61 00:02:44,721 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: certain health things that I do that Tiana's be taken on. Yeah, 62 00:02:47,601 --> 00:02:49,561 Speaker 2: vice versa. It's like, oh my gosh, you take the supplement, 63 00:02:49,841 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: me too, I'm gonna go buy it. Yeah. I don't 64 00:02:51,441 --> 00:02:53,321 Speaker 2: see that as a bad thing. I think that's how 65 00:02:53,321 --> 00:02:55,441 Speaker 2: you're interpretating what they're doing. Yeah, but I think your 66 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: husband's right and I think you've inspired them, which is 67 00:02:57,281 --> 00:03:00,201 Speaker 2: really really beautiful. Same with the bought the same car. 68 00:03:00,361 --> 00:03:01,761 Speaker 2: I don't know. For me, I just wouldn't be like, 69 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: oh my god, they've gotten me. I'd be like matting. Yes, 70 00:03:06,081 --> 00:03:08,201 Speaker 2: I wouldn't take that as a bad things. I'm just 71 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,081 Speaker 2: really curious what story you're creating around that. And I 72 00:03:12,081 --> 00:03:15,001 Speaker 2: think if you're wanting deeper connections and more fun and 73 00:03:15,121 --> 00:03:18,161 Speaker 2: more depth, but if you're feeling all of this, they 74 00:03:18,201 --> 00:03:20,761 Speaker 2: can feel that you're assuming that of them and feel 75 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,801 Speaker 2: your energy, which is probably putting distance between you. But 76 00:03:23,841 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: if you want more fun and more connection and more growth, 77 00:03:26,281 --> 00:03:27,841 Speaker 2: like I think you need to lead with that. But 78 00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:29,801 Speaker 2: if you're leading with like, oh, they're copying me and 79 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,321 Speaker 2: they're doing this and that, they're going to feel that yeah, 80 00:03:32,361 --> 00:03:35,001 Speaker 2: and that's going to have a massive crack in your friendship. Already, 81 00:03:35,761 --> 00:03:38,521 Speaker 2: even you saying that you don't want Surfaule level stuff, 82 00:03:39,441 --> 00:03:41,321 Speaker 2: I'm curious in what you bring, how you bring the 83 00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:44,161 Speaker 2: conversations in. Are you bringing depth because I know in 84 00:03:44,241 --> 00:03:46,001 Speaker 2: my friendships, if I want depth, I'm going to bring 85 00:03:46,001 --> 00:03:47,601 Speaker 2: the depth. I'm not going to talk about the weather 86 00:03:47,601 --> 00:03:50,081 Speaker 2: of the Tiana. I'm going to talk about our trauma. 87 00:03:50,241 --> 00:03:52,921 Speaker 2: So if you're like, what our big goals are and 88 00:03:52,961 --> 00:03:54,481 Speaker 2: what's come up for us in the last week, Like 89 00:03:54,521 --> 00:03:56,201 Speaker 2: we go there at five am in the morning, we 90 00:03:56,281 --> 00:03:58,441 Speaker 2: do you know, we bring that level of death because 91 00:03:58,441 --> 00:04:00,201 Speaker 2: that's what we want. And if people aren't willing to 92 00:04:00,201 --> 00:04:02,441 Speaker 2: meet us there, then one hundred percent you can branch 93 00:04:02,441 --> 00:04:04,361 Speaker 2: out and look for new friendships and sometimes you do 94 00:04:04,401 --> 00:04:07,361 Speaker 2: outgrope people. And we've only got so much context here, 95 00:04:07,441 --> 00:04:09,041 Speaker 2: but I do think you need to go within and 96 00:04:09,401 --> 00:04:11,721 Speaker 2: ask your questions, how you're showing up, what you're bringing 97 00:04:11,761 --> 00:04:13,721 Speaker 2: to the table, And a lot of the times when 98 00:04:13,721 --> 00:04:16,281 Speaker 2: we want more of something, we have to lead with that. Yeah, 99 00:04:16,401 --> 00:04:17,641 Speaker 2: So I think hold the torch and lead. 100 00:04:17,801 --> 00:04:19,361 Speaker 1: I love all of that. I think it's great. I 101 00:04:19,401 --> 00:04:22,561 Speaker 1: agree you like episode done. Now you have more on 102 00:04:22,601 --> 00:04:23,841 Speaker 1: this mic drob Mic. 103 00:04:24,961 --> 00:04:27,681 Speaker 3: As someone who used to feel like there wasn't enough 104 00:04:27,721 --> 00:04:32,441 Speaker 3: for me, I understand the headspace people doing. Wanting or 105 00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:34,521 Speaker 3: being inspired by what it is that you're doing, doesn't 106 00:04:34,561 --> 00:04:35,401 Speaker 3: mean that there's no. 107 00:04:35,481 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Room for you. 108 00:04:36,161 --> 00:04:38,081 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's something to just like, remember 109 00:04:38,161 --> 00:04:40,241 Speaker 3: that it's like this person doing that doesn't take away 110 00:04:40,241 --> 00:04:41,921 Speaker 3: from you what you're doing, and it doesn't actually mean 111 00:04:41,961 --> 00:04:44,641 Speaker 3: anything bad. And maybe like what actually said, like that's 112 00:04:44,641 --> 00:04:47,001 Speaker 3: the story that you're creating in your head that it's 113 00:04:47,081 --> 00:04:49,561 Speaker 3: bad that they're copying you, or that maybe that they're 114 00:04:49,641 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: quote unquote copying you is taking away from you, you 115 00:04:52,961 --> 00:04:53,401 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 116 00:04:53,401 --> 00:04:54,921 Speaker 1: But it's like who said that they're copying? Do you 117 00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:55,601 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah? 118 00:04:55,761 --> 00:04:57,361 Speaker 3: I think what I wanted to say in this is 119 00:04:57,401 --> 00:04:59,481 Speaker 3: like running is a universal thing. 120 00:04:59,521 --> 00:05:00,801 Speaker 2: I was going to say, where did you see running? 121 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,361 Speaker 2: But Instagram running? 122 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,601 Speaker 3: Like we love you, but running is the universal thing. 123 00:05:05,201 --> 00:05:07,161 Speaker 3: Me sitting here and go actually copied me because you 124 00:05:07,241 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: dyed your hair brown. But like there's only three four 125 00:05:09,681 --> 00:05:11,081 Speaker 3: colors that you can dye your hair. 126 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:11,921 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 127 00:05:11,961 --> 00:05:14,641 Speaker 3: Like true, Like I'm not offended was copying me? I 128 00:05:14,641 --> 00:05:16,721 Speaker 3: think she likes brown hand She was like that's vibe. 129 00:05:16,761 --> 00:05:19,281 Speaker 3: She doesn't own the color brown. I'm not gonna be 130 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,081 Speaker 3: here like, oh my god, I'm the only person who 131 00:05:21,081 --> 00:05:23,601 Speaker 3: can have brown hair. Like and also we're bringing some 132 00:05:23,681 --> 00:05:26,801 Speaker 3: light and playfulness like hope you know that. But it's 133 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,481 Speaker 3: just one of those things where it's like, yes, there 134 00:05:28,481 --> 00:05:30,601 Speaker 3: can be inspiration. You can see it as a positive 135 00:05:30,601 --> 00:05:31,881 Speaker 3: thing or you can choose to see it as a 136 00:05:31,921 --> 00:05:35,561 Speaker 3: negative there and also maybe it didn't come from you, true. 137 00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: Maybe there was another person that she saw that was 138 00:05:37,521 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: a runner and they were documenting their journey on TikTok 139 00:05:40,801 --> 00:05:42,801 Speaker 3: and then she was like, you know what, my head's 140 00:05:42,801 --> 00:05:44,601 Speaker 3: a little bit messy at the moment. Maybe I need 141 00:05:44,601 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: something for myself. Maybe I need a little bit of 142 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,721 Speaker 3: a mindset pick me up. And then she decided I'm 143 00:05:49,721 --> 00:05:51,001 Speaker 3: going to go for a run because I need to 144 00:05:51,041 --> 00:05:53,601 Speaker 3: exert the energy in my body. Right when we're in 145 00:05:53,641 --> 00:05:57,081 Speaker 3: this mindset of like making everything about us, like everything 146 00:05:57,121 --> 00:06:00,321 Speaker 3: about what everybody else does about us, we can end 147 00:06:00,401 --> 00:06:02,681 Speaker 3: up being really triggered all the time because everything feels 148 00:06:02,681 --> 00:06:06,881 Speaker 3: like personal attack. But oftentimes everyone else is just thinking 149 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,121 Speaker 3: about themselves. Right, you are the center of your world. Right, 150 00:06:10,241 --> 00:06:13,841 Speaker 3: your world literally revolves around you. My world revolves around me, 151 00:06:14,121 --> 00:06:16,281 Speaker 3: Ash's world revolves around her, and vice versa. 152 00:06:16,361 --> 00:06:17,881 Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Everyone to their own. 153 00:06:18,241 --> 00:06:20,081 Speaker 3: So I think this is also something to take note 154 00:06:20,121 --> 00:06:21,841 Speaker 3: of as well, is like people are just doing what 155 00:06:21,961 --> 00:06:24,721 Speaker 3: is good for them unless you have some like bad 156 00:06:24,761 --> 00:06:27,361 Speaker 3: weird energy between you two. I think it's gonna be okay. 157 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,001 Speaker 2: And there's also if there is that bad weird energy, 158 00:06:30,081 --> 00:06:32,721 Speaker 2: like have a conversation, yes you bring it in, but 159 00:06:32,761 --> 00:06:34,721 Speaker 2: even sorry back to the running. You know, one of 160 00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:37,241 Speaker 2: the biggest trends at the moment is fucking run clubs. 161 00:06:37,281 --> 00:06:40,001 Speaker 2: It's so true. Everyone's running, every man, Tom, Dick and 162 00:06:40,041 --> 00:06:42,801 Speaker 2: Harry and they're fucking dogs and next door neighbors when 163 00:06:42,841 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: we walk there's. 164 00:06:43,721 --> 00:06:45,681 Speaker 1: Fifty Oh my god.

If she saw you've 192 00:07:49,641 --> 00:07:51,561 Speaker 2: got a great treadmill and you're enjoying your running, Yeah, 193 00:07:51,801 --> 00:07:53,601 Speaker 2: what does it matter if she got the same treadmillers. 194 00:07:53,241 --> 00:07:54,641 Speaker 1: Y, Yeah, I'm the same with you. 195 00:07:54,681 --> 00:07:56,881 Speaker 3: Like there's this great Viva supplement that as she takes, 196 00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:58,921 Speaker 3: and she's been like, babe, you need to try this, 197 00:07:59,041 --> 00:07:59,761 Speaker 3: you need to try this. 198 00:07:59,681 --> 00:08:00,521 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, cool. 199 00:08:00,761 --> 00:08:02,721 Speaker 3: I know as she's going to do her due diligence 200 00:08:03,001 --> 00:08:05,321 Speaker 3: in the supplements she takes because she doesn't just put 201 00:08:05,321 --> 00:08:07,481 Speaker 3: just anything into her body. I'm aware of that, so 202 00:08:07,561 --> 00:08:10,281 Speaker 3: I know I love and trust her. Yeah, I totally 203 00:08:10,321 --> 00:08:12,161 Speaker 3: trust that she's going to put anything into her body 204 00:08:12,161 --> 00:08:13,681 Speaker 3: that is only going to be the best of the best. 205 00:08:14,241 --> 00:08:16,801 Speaker 3: I know. I'm going to use that recommendation because she's 206 00:08:16,841 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: already done the work. You know, she's already done the research, 207 00:08:19,321 --> 00:08:21,481 Speaker 3: she's already looked into it. She knows that this one 208 00:08:21,521 --> 00:08:23,801 Speaker 3: works better than the three other ones that she's tried. 209 00:08:24,121 --> 00:08:25,401 Speaker 3: I'm going to take that recommendation. 210 00:08:25,601 --> 00:08:27,521 Speaker 2: It'd be similar like I've worked with my nature path 211 00:08:27,561 --> 00:08:29,321 Speaker 2: now for over six months, and then if you've got 212 00:08:29,361 --> 00:08:31,641 Speaker 2: the same match. I can now just to put this 213 00:08:31,681 --> 00:08:34,201 Speaker 2: in perspective if I was, oh my gosh, she ownA 214 00:08:34,281 --> 00:08:36,801 Speaker 2: copied me. She's using my natural path as if I 215 00:08:36,841 --> 00:08:38,961 Speaker 2: own the natural path. Yeah, you know, and this is 216 00:08:39,001 --> 00:08:40,481 Speaker 2: coming from love. I'm just trying to give it a 217 00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:44,041 Speaker 2: different view and perspective, different perspective. I can hear. There's 218 00:08:44,121 --> 00:08:46,441 Speaker 2: lots of triggers in here around what your friends are doing. 219 00:08:46,481 --> 00:08:49,361 Speaker 2: But I think something we've almost also been talking about 220 00:08:49,441 --> 00:08:53,241 Speaker 2: lately too is never assuming the worst of someone actually 221 00:08:53,241 --> 00:08:55,401 Speaker 2: assuming the best of them. And I think it's a 222 00:08:55,401 --> 00:08:57,921 Speaker 2: beautiful way to bring more connection in and to prevent 223 00:08:58,001 --> 00:09:00,601 Speaker 2: disconnect because if you just are constantly assuming the worst 224 00:09:00,601 --> 00:09:02,801 Speaker 2: of your friends, they feel it. You don't even have 225 00:09:02,841 --> 00:09:04,241 Speaker 2: to say anything and they feel it. So if you're 226 00:09:04,281 --> 00:09:06,841 Speaker 2: feeling that distance between your friends, I think this is 227 00:09:06,841 --> 00:09:09,201 Speaker 2: a beautiful opportunity for you to take responsibility for the 228 00:09:09,441 --> 00:09:12,761 Speaker 2: part that you are playing in this maybe friendship drifting apart. 229 00:09:12,841 --> 00:09:13,401 Speaker 1: I do love that. 230 00:09:13,401 --> 00:09:14,921 Speaker 2: I And at any point in time, you can switch 231 00:09:15,001 --> 00:09:17,041 Speaker 2: gears and you can bring and be like, oh my gosh, 232 00:09:17,081 --> 00:09:18,481 Speaker 2: I notice you got the same trebil as me. Do 233 00:09:18,521 --> 00:09:21,121 Speaker 2: you want to have a running competition? You know, let's 234 00:09:21,241 --> 00:09:23,641 Speaker 2: keep each other accountable without steps and like how fast 235 00:09:23,681 --> 00:09:25,481 Speaker 2: are you running for the five kilometers? Oh my gosh, 236 00:09:25,561 --> 00:09:27,001 Speaker 2: Like do you want to do a fucking marathon together? 237 00:09:27,961 --> 00:09:29,921 Speaker 2: I don't know. Like bring something and that's playful and 238 00:09:30,001 --> 00:09:34,401 Speaker 2: actually brings connection in, brings accountability and brings more fun in. 239 00:09:34,841 --> 00:09:36,801 Speaker 2: There's so many different ways you can view everything that 240 00:09:36,841 --> 00:09:37,321 Speaker 2: you've said. 241 00:09:37,481 --> 00:09:38,081 Speaker 1: It's so true. 242 00:09:38,121 --> 00:09:40,721 Speaker 3: Honestly, you get to choose in life how you view 243 00:09:40,761 --> 00:09:43,441 Speaker 3: things and whether it's going to be negative or positive. 244 00:09:43,881 --> 00:09:46,001 Speaker 3: I don't want to like not dismiss or like take 245 00:09:46,001 --> 00:09:48,521 Speaker 3: away from your experience whatsoever. But as something as like 246 00:09:48,601 --> 00:09:51,361 Speaker 3: trivial as something like this, It's like, imagine if you 247 00:09:51,441 --> 00:09:53,721 Speaker 3: poured that energy and time into like pouring into your 248 00:09:53,841 --> 00:09:55,921 Speaker 3: you know, your hobbies or the things that light you up, 249 00:09:56,041 --> 00:09:57,841 Speaker 3: or investing into those friendships. 250 00:09:57,921 --> 00:09:59,761 Speaker 1: It's like it takes a lot of energy to be 251 00:09:59,841 --> 00:10:00,561 Speaker 1: in this headspace. 252 00:10:00,681 --> 00:10:02,721 Speaker 3: And I can only say because I've done it, yes, right, 253 00:10:02,801 --> 00:10:06,481 Speaker 3: it's exhausting, right, because you're constantly living in your head 254 00:10:06,561 --> 00:10:08,721 Speaker 3: and like going back and forth of like if this 255 00:10:08,801 --> 00:10:09,521 Speaker 3: person likes me. 256 00:10:09,521 --> 00:10:11,241 Speaker 1: Or if they're copying me, or what their intentions are, 257 00:10:11,241 --> 00:10:11,761 Speaker 1: if they're. 258 00:10:11,641 --> 00:10:15,561 Speaker 3: Jealous they are, Yeah, honestly like shameless plug join rise 259 00:10:15,601 --> 00:10:18,401 Speaker 3: inside and go month one and do the nervous system medications, 260 00:10:18,521 --> 00:10:20,801 Speaker 3: big game change. They will help you with these triggers 261 00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:23,481 Speaker 3: so so much. But I think the biggest thing of 262 00:10:23,521 --> 00:10:24,921 Speaker 3: all of this is, like I really want you to 263 00:10:25,001 --> 00:10:27,161 Speaker 3: check in with yourself of like what you're making this 264 00:10:27,281 --> 00:10:31,761 Speaker 3: story mean about you, about her, about her intentions? Are 265 00:10:31,801 --> 00:10:35,321 Speaker 3: you assuming that her copying you takes away from what 266 00:10:35,321 --> 00:10:38,321 Speaker 3: what's the narrative you're making? Yeah, yeah, what's actually coming 267 00:10:38,361 --> 00:10:40,481 Speaker 3: up for you? And then when you can pinpoint what 268 00:10:40,561 --> 00:10:43,841 Speaker 3: you think is being taken away, then I think you'll 269 00:10:43,881 --> 00:10:45,321 Speaker 3: understand why you're behaving that way. 270 00:10:45,881 --> 00:10:48,921 Speaker 2: And also we're only getting a certain amount of context. 271 00:10:48,921 --> 00:10:52,081 Speaker 2: But also if you are feeling like this friendship has 272 00:10:52,361 --> 00:10:54,481 Speaker 2: done its time, that's also okay. Well, it's okay to 273 00:10:54,561 --> 00:10:57,081 Speaker 2: change your mind, it's okay to outgrow people, be open 274 00:10:57,121 --> 00:10:59,641 Speaker 2: to making new friendships. I know when Tia and I met, 275 00:10:59,921 --> 00:11:02,401 Speaker 2: it did really highlight that some friendships in our lives 276 00:11:02,481 --> 00:11:05,761 Speaker 2: weren't as alie yeah, as connected, or as safe, or 277 00:11:05,841 --> 00:11:09,161 Speaker 2: as fun, or we didn't have the same values like. 278 00:11:09,201 --> 00:11:11,241 Speaker 2: It did highlight all of that fastness, not that we 279 00:11:11,761 --> 00:11:14,001 Speaker 2: don't have other friends or don't love them equally as much. 280 00:11:14,001 --> 00:11:16,801 Speaker 2: We were like, Wow, this friendship was so aligned that 281 00:11:16,881 --> 00:11:18,841 Speaker 2: this is why we're building something together, and we spend 282 00:11:18,841 --> 00:11:20,521 Speaker 2: a lot of time together because it feels so good. 283 00:11:20,561 --> 00:11:23,441 Speaker 2: So always keep your heart open to new friendships and 284 00:11:23,481 --> 00:11:26,121 Speaker 2: see where that goes. But I definitely think there's a 285 00:11:26,161 --> 00:11:28,081 Speaker 2: lot of unpacking as to why you're feeling the way 286 00:11:28,081 --> 00:11:30,481 Speaker 2: you are, and to just assume the best, yeah, and 287 00:11:30,521 --> 00:11:32,881 Speaker 2: maybe have some more open conversations with yourself and with her. 288 00:11:33,081 --> 00:11:35,441 Speaker 1: Look different story. If she's like stilling your boyfriends and stuff. 289 00:11:35,601 --> 00:11:39,841 Speaker 3: Oh like that's a different that's your own conversation, you know, 290 00:11:39,961 --> 00:11:41,321 Speaker 3: but do you know what I mean? Like when we 291 00:11:41,361 --> 00:11:44,801 Speaker 3: put it into perspective, it's like, yes, maybe she likes health, 292 00:11:44,841 --> 00:11:46,601 Speaker 3: Maybe she likes the way that you do things. Maybe 293 00:11:46,601 --> 00:11:48,241 Speaker 3: she's inspired by you, maybe. 294 00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,041 Speaker 2: She admires you. 295 00:11:49,161 --> 00:11:50,281 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what as well? 296 00:11:50,361 --> 00:11:52,561 Speaker 3: Something to note as well, like unconsciously, like when we 297 00:11:52,601 --> 00:11:54,201 Speaker 3: spend a lot of time with people, we kind of 298 00:11:54,241 --> 00:11:56,601 Speaker 3: do pick up their mannerisms and like sir, we get 299 00:11:56,601 --> 00:11:58,121 Speaker 3: to learn the way that they do things, and we 300 00:11:58,241 --> 00:12:00,841 Speaker 3: unconsciously take that information in. Yes, you know what I 301 00:12:00,841 --> 00:12:03,281 Speaker 3: mean by that influence. Yeah, we're influenced by like the 302 00:12:03,321 --> 00:12:05,761 Speaker 3: five people who spend the most time. So it's not 303 00:12:05,761 --> 00:12:07,561 Speaker 3: necessarily a bad thing, but yeah. 304 00:12:07,521 --> 00:12:09,961 Speaker 2: No way, It's like, do you have glowing skin? I'm like, 305 00:12:10,041 --> 00:12:11,041 Speaker 2: what the fuck moisturize? 306 00:12:11,201 --> 00:12:11,321 Speaker 1: Use? 307 00:12:12,161 --> 00:12:14,161 Speaker 2: Yes, I've bought that moisturize yesterday. 308 00:12:14,201 --> 00:12:16,601 Speaker 1: And you're like, I can't see you nipples through your shirt? 309 00:12:16,641 --> 00:12:17,201 Speaker 1: What stick is? 310 00:12:17,201 --> 00:12:17,561 Speaker 2: Are you where? 311 00:12:19,041 --> 00:12:20,401 Speaker 1: And I did? I gave her a recommendation. 312 00:12:20,481 --> 00:12:22,041 Speaker 2: You do and that's what you do in your own 313 00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:24,401 Speaker 2: friendship groups and I do it online to hundreds of 314 00:12:24,401 --> 00:12:26,601 Speaker 2: thousands of people too. If I love something, I recommend it. Yeah, 315 00:12:26,601 --> 00:12:29,001 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's copying me by doing that. I mean, 316 00:12:29,041 --> 00:12:31,321 Speaker 2: if it's my engagement ring, different story, fair enough, how 317 00:12:31,361 --> 00:12:31,961 Speaker 2: to girl message? 318 00:12:32,041 --> 00:12:32,561 Speaker 1: Fair enough? 319 00:12:32,761 --> 00:12:35,121 Speaker 2: She's like which designer, what shaped diamond?

But I think with this stuff you can 326 00:12:48,681 --> 00:12:50,881 Speaker 2: unpack and see what story you're attaching it. 327 00:12:50,841 --> 00:12:53,201 Speaker 1: To, and you know what, let it be playful. Yeah, 328 00:12:53,281 --> 00:12:54,081 Speaker 1: it can be playful. 329 00:12:54,161 --> 00:12:56,441 Speaker 3: As you can see. We've brought a lightness energy to this. 330 00:12:56,681 --> 00:12:58,601 Speaker 3: Like we're just like not taking it so serious. 331 00:12:58,601 --> 00:13:00,641 Speaker 2: I'm not judging you either. We'll know we all have 332 00:13:00,681 --> 00:13:03,681 Speaker 2: shit come up.

Oh 337 00:13:13,081 --> 00:13:15,481 Speaker 2: my gosh, So now it's just some regulation. Don't attach 338 00:13:15,481 --> 00:13:18,201 Speaker 2: yourself what do we say just because you think something, 339 00:13:18,521 --> 00:13:20,401 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean it has to mean something. You don't 340 00:13:20,441 --> 00:13:22,641 Speaker 2: have to create and attach yourself to that story of 341 00:13:22,681 --> 00:13:24,121 Speaker 2: being the truth, because it's probably not. 342 00:13:24,161 --> 00:13:26,281 Speaker 1: Probably not. You're probably just heightened and feel emotional and 343 00:13:26,281 --> 00:13:27,201 Speaker 1: fil period. 344 00:13:28,321 --> 00:13:31,841 Speaker 3: I just got mine. Actually, something you just said reminded me. 345 00:13:32,161 --> 00:13:34,401 Speaker 3: When I was growing up my older sister, Chantel, I 346 00:13:34,441 --> 00:13:37,601 Speaker 3: always admired her style and she was very self led. 347 00:13:37,601 --> 00:13:39,441 Speaker 3: She always just knew what she wanted. She went to 348 00:13:39,481 --> 00:13:41,481 Speaker 3: fashion school. She always really had like an eye for 349 00:13:41,521 --> 00:13:44,401 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff, and I little old me four 350 00:13:44,441 --> 00:13:46,401 Speaker 3: years younger, used to be like, oh my gosh, I 351 00:13:46,481 --> 00:13:48,001 Speaker 3: want to be like that. And every time that she 352 00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:50,681 Speaker 3: would buy something that I would like, I'd be like, well, 353 00:13:50,681 --> 00:13:53,081 Speaker 3: now I can't buy it because she bought it because 354 00:13:53,121 --> 00:13:56,441 Speaker 3: it felt like competition. So something to note as well, 355 00:13:56,441 --> 00:13:58,441 Speaker 3: if you feel potentially like you're in competition, or you 356 00:13:58,481 --> 00:14:00,361 Speaker 3: feel like you tend to lean that way with other women, 357 00:14:00,401 --> 00:14:02,121 Speaker 3: that's also something to look at, because that was something 358 00:14:02,161 --> 00:14:04,801 Speaker 3: I had to work through, a feeling like when somebody 359 00:14:04,801 --> 00:14:07,441 Speaker 3: else had something I wanted, it automatically meant that it 360 00:14:07,481 --> 00:14:09,721 Speaker 3: was being taken away from me, or there wasn't enough 361 00:14:09,761 --> 00:14:11,281 Speaker 3: of that thing for me as well. 362 00:14:11,561 --> 00:14:12,521 Speaker 1: I just really like this. 363 00:14:12,521 --> 00:14:16,281 Speaker 3: Concept because it teaches you that two powers can coexist, 364 00:14:17,001 --> 00:14:19,001 Speaker 3: two things can co exist. Other people can have it, 365 00:14:19,081 --> 00:14:21,001 Speaker 3: You can have it too. One doesn't take away from 366 00:14:21,001 --> 00:14:23,081 Speaker 3: the other, and that's the biggest thing. It's like friendships, right, 367 00:14:23,201 --> 00:14:25,201 Speaker 3: Our friendship doesn't take away from your friendship with a 368 00:14:25,241 --> 00:14:28,521 Speaker 3: Nadine Sarah or Megsie No, and vice versa with my 369 00:14:28,521 --> 00:14:31,041 Speaker 3: girlfriends Darcian Sulin yeah, or Emma you know, do. 370 00:14:31,001 --> 00:14:32,841 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So it's like it's just yeah, 371 00:14:32,841 --> 00:14:34,001 Speaker 1: it's a cool mindset, it is. 372 00:14:34,081 --> 00:14:35,841 Speaker 2: We hope that helps. If you've got any other questions, 373 00:14:35,841 --> 00:14:38,281 Speaker 2: you can always submit something else to our anonymous best 374 00:14:38,401 --> 00:14:41,361 Speaker 2: Use segment. We'll leave the link in our show notes 375 00:14:41,441 --> 00:14:43,361 Speaker 2: or just pop into our DMS. It's also in our 376 00:14:43,361 --> 00:14:45,681 Speaker 2: private Facebook forum as well. But yeah, a lot of 377 00:14:45,721 --> 00:14:48,521 Speaker 2: this too. I do think when you're really regulated and 378 00:14:48,561 --> 00:14:51,121 Speaker 2: calm and grounded and connected to your heart and connected 379 00:14:51,161 --> 00:14:55,161 Speaker 2: to your body, these kind of assumptions and spirals and 380 00:14:55,481 --> 00:14:58,441 Speaker 2: thoughts won't be there as much. So this is why 381 00:14:58,481 --> 00:15:00,921 Speaker 2: we did month one on nerves and regulation. You also 382 00:15:00,921 --> 00:15:02,521 Speaker 2: said you want to be around women who push you 383 00:15:02,561 --> 00:15:04,641 Speaker 2: and support you like. That is what Rise and Side's about. 384 00:15:04,721 --> 00:15:06,241 Speaker 2: So I would love to see you inside. 385 00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:07,841 Speaker 1: I think you get a lot out of its waiting 386 00:15:07,881 --> 00:15:08,121 Speaker 1: for you. 387 00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:08,441 Speaker 3: Girl. 388 00:15:08,521 --> 00:15:10,681 Speaker 2: Refeel you.
