0:00:37.790 --> 0:00:42.440
<v S2>Hello, everyone. Hi, guys. Hi, Steffi. Hello. How are you?

0:00:42.470 --> 0:00:46.760
<v S2>I'm good. How are you? Good. How are you? Are

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.900
<v S2>you just loving that? Everyone knows that you are pregnant.

0:00:50.900 --> 0:00:54.170
<v S2>And you can now. I just love that everyone knows

0:00:54.170 --> 0:00:56.960
<v S2>that I'm pregnant. It's just the best wide world. Yeah,

0:00:56.990 --> 0:00:59.930
<v S2>everyone knows. But the cloud lings know. And I just.

0:00:59.960 --> 0:01:02.600
<v S2>It is always so hard when we're. We can't tell

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.479
<v S2>the cloud links yet. 100%. No. It's nice. It's very,

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.020
<v S2>very lovely. And yeah, thank you for everyone who's slid

0:01:09.020 --> 0:01:11.630
<v S2>into the DMs. We're very excited. And how are you feeling?

0:01:11.630 --> 0:01:14.479
<v S2>I'm feeling good. I feel like the closer I've like

0:01:14.510 --> 0:01:16.760
<v S2>is in, the closer I got to the second trimester,

0:01:16.790 --> 0:01:19.970
<v S2>that I started to feel better. Um, which, again, so

0:01:19.970 --> 0:01:23.030
<v S2>thankful for because it's not the same for everyone. Um,

0:01:23.030 --> 0:01:24.980
<v S2>but yeah, I'm excited to have a bit of my

0:01:24.980 --> 0:01:29.750
<v S2>energy back. I find it so interesting that in pregnancy

0:01:29.750 --> 0:01:33.710
<v S2>that generally the first trimester can. The last trimester is

0:01:33.709 --> 0:01:36.709
<v S2>obviously difficult physically, your hips and yeah, yeah, yeah. But

0:01:36.709 --> 0:01:39.200
<v S2>between the first and the second trimester. So first trimester

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.930
<v S2>is 0 to 12 weeks and then 12 to 24.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.789
<v S2>Is it the second. Are they both 12 weeks. Yep

0:01:43.790 --> 0:01:46.190
<v S2>I think so okay. Yeah guys don't quote me on

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.150
<v S2>nine months three months three months three months knowledge. Yeah okay. Cool.

0:01:50.180 --> 0:01:56.090
<v S2>So the first three months the the baby is tiny,

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.730
<v S2>like the size of a date it gets. Yeah. Around that.

0:01:58.820 --> 0:02:01.390
<v S2>So but your body is so tired building it to

0:02:01.420 --> 0:02:03.280
<v S2>the size of a date. And then when it needs

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.930
<v S2>to build it to this, what size does it get

0:02:04.930 --> 0:02:06.700
<v S2>to at the end of the second trimester? Oh God,

0:02:06.700 --> 0:02:09.250
<v S2>I don't know. Probably like an eggplant I don't know,

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.380
<v S2>it's like quite large. Yeah. You'd think that would take

0:02:11.380 --> 0:02:13.960
<v S2>more energy. I just I find it so interesting, like

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.020
<v S2>how the energy is so different between the two trimesters. Yeah.

0:02:17.050 --> 0:02:19.900
<v S2>I actually don't know the science behind why that is.

0:02:19.930 --> 0:02:22.150
<v S2>I mean, it's literally your career. And of course, I

0:02:22.150 --> 0:02:24.550
<v S2>know some people have unfortunately like morning sickness throughout the

0:02:24.669 --> 0:02:26.860
<v S2>literally until they come. Yeah. For some people it does

0:02:26.889 --> 0:02:29.950
<v S2>alleviate 100%. I think maybe it's just because it's going

0:02:29.950 --> 0:02:36.070
<v S2>from like literally nothing existing to organs producing bones building

0:02:36.100 --> 0:02:41.200
<v S2>like it's it's weird. It's so weird like that. Yeah. Fingernails, like,

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.380
<v S2>everything just starts to form in your body. Wait, so

0:02:44.380 --> 0:02:46.000
<v S2>the fingernails. Oh, my God. Of course, the baby is

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.970
<v S2>born with fingernails. Yeah, I think by now it's like

0:02:48.970 --> 0:02:51.460
<v S2>most of it's. No, some of it's spinal cord is, like,

0:02:51.490 --> 0:02:54.970
<v S2>been created. I don't know how to explain it created. Yes.

0:02:54.970 --> 0:02:57.700
<v S2>I'm creating a human in my belly. Wow. Um. It's

0:02:57.700 --> 0:02:59.440
<v S2>quite it's quite fascinating. I've got an app that, like,

0:02:59.470 --> 0:03:01.570
<v S2>tells you each week that you tick over like the

0:03:01.570 --> 0:03:04.900
<v S2>fun facts of like what's happening and I it's funny

0:03:04.900 --> 0:03:06.490
<v S2>because a lot of people were like, oh, second time around,

0:03:06.490 --> 0:03:08.470
<v S2>you just don't. You're not as fascinated. But I think

0:03:08.470 --> 0:03:13.660
<v S2>because it's been almost four years since Harvey, I am

0:03:13.660 --> 0:03:16.060
<v S2>still fascinated by it. It's like I want to be

0:03:16.060 --> 0:03:18.820
<v S2>just as excited this time around. So I'm still loving

0:03:18.820 --> 0:03:22.390
<v S2>the updates because I've forgotten it all. Of course. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, well,

0:03:22.389 --> 0:03:24.340
<v S2>there you go. Well, I'm glad you're starting to feel

0:03:24.340 --> 0:03:29.950
<v S2>more energized. That's awesome to hear. Now, now we are

0:03:29.950 --> 0:03:36.580
<v S2>going to say something that is forget Black Friday. Yeah, yeah. Well,

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.670
<v S2>you know, that is just give it a moment. The

0:03:39.670 --> 0:03:44.680
<v S2>statement forget Black Friday and the reason why we're saying that.

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.980
<v S2>Because we know lots of people love Black Friday. I mean,

0:03:47.980 --> 0:03:50.710
<v S2>it's a great time to get in for your Christmas shopping. It's,

0:03:50.740 --> 0:03:52.510
<v S2>you know, it's a great time of year to stop.

0:03:52.540 --> 0:03:56.560
<v S2>But for us, ruining the campaign, the campaign is forget

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.640
<v S2>Black Friday for us, it doesn't make sense, because we

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.180
<v S2>know that 88% of you are more likely to move

0:04:03.180 --> 0:04:05.190
<v S2>on a Monday at Kik. So at Kik, it doesn't

0:04:05.190 --> 0:04:07.290
<v S2>make sense. It doesn't make sense there. Black Friday does

0:04:07.290 --> 0:04:10.380
<v S2>also contribute to quite a bit of landfill. So I

0:04:10.380 --> 0:04:12.750
<v S2>think there are some there's some reasons also that we

0:04:12.750 --> 0:04:16.350
<v S2>feel quite passionate about Black Friday. But yes you're right.

0:04:16.740 --> 0:04:19.920
<v S2>So at Kik we were like, well why does Friday

0:04:19.950 --> 0:04:23.430
<v S2>get all of the hype. So we are now going

0:04:23.430 --> 0:04:28.050
<v S2>to be over the next month together celebrating Mondays. Now

0:04:28.050 --> 0:04:31.349
<v S2>you might think, how are we going to celebrate Mondays? Well,

0:04:31.350 --> 0:04:34.110
<v S2>your favorite day of the week just got better. That's

0:04:34.110 --> 0:04:36.060
<v S2>a good line, isn't it? I really like that one.

0:04:36.060 --> 0:04:39.330
<v S2>Yeah yeah okay. Yes yes we our amazing team wrote

0:04:39.330 --> 0:04:43.260
<v S2>this also. So it's not like we're complimenting ourself here. Okay.

0:04:43.260 --> 0:04:49.919
<v S2>So number one our brand new Pilates trainer Greta. Now

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.100
<v S2>we have not dropped a new trainer to you guys

0:04:53.100 --> 0:04:56.310
<v S2>for quite a while now. You have been asking for

0:04:56.310 --> 0:04:59.849
<v S2>a new trainer. We know you love Pilates, and so

0:04:59.850 --> 0:05:02.190
<v S2>we have come to you with the best of the best.

0:05:02.190 --> 0:05:06.900
<v S2>So Greta is the ClassPass trainer of the year. Now,

0:05:06.900 --> 0:05:10.440
<v S2>if anyone it basically her classes. If you know you

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:15.000
<v S2>know they are waitlisted forever. She is an incredible reformer

0:05:15.029 --> 0:05:19.710
<v S2>instructor at kick. She is teaching mat Pilates that will

0:05:19.710 --> 0:05:22.770
<v S2>help you get your reformer fix from home. And just

0:05:22.770 --> 0:05:24.660
<v S2>a note there, you don't need a reformer to do

0:05:24.690 --> 0:05:27.270
<v S2>her classes there. Reformer inspired. So a lot of the moves,

0:05:27.270 --> 0:05:29.820
<v S2>I think we think, oh, in order to, you know,

0:05:29.850 --> 0:05:33.180
<v S2>get the benefits of a reformer class or using a reformer,

0:05:33.210 --> 0:05:36.120
<v S2>you need a reformer. Absolutely not. We also know that

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.880
<v S2>not everyone has well, very, very few people have access

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.840
<v S2>to a reformer. So Greta is the solution to that.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.540
<v S2>And I also have to say, as someone who filmed

0:05:45.540 --> 0:05:49.140
<v S2>the workouts with Greta and could not walk for a

0:05:49.140 --> 0:05:53.940
<v S2>few days afterwards, Greta is so in terms of Pilates style,

0:05:53.940 --> 0:05:57.000
<v S2>she's very, very strong. So I feel like it's a

0:05:57.020 --> 0:06:00.020
<v S2>combination of if you lack strength training and you lack Pilates,

0:06:00.050 --> 0:06:02.989
<v S2>but maybe something with like for me, for Pilates. I

0:06:02.990 --> 0:06:09.170
<v S2>do prefer strength based Pilates. This is like my yeah style.

0:06:09.170 --> 0:06:11.600
<v S2>It doesn't move too fast so you don't have to

0:06:11.630 --> 0:06:13.130
<v S2>worry about, oh, I can't keep up with the instructor.

0:06:13.130 --> 0:06:15.500
<v S2>You will be able to keep up with Greta, but

0:06:15.529 --> 0:06:19.789
<v S2>there is a slow and strong strong burn. I don't

0:06:19.790 --> 0:06:23.300
<v S2>think I've ever felt so much muscle soreness after filming

0:06:23.300 --> 0:06:25.970
<v S2>before than with Greta. So we are just. So you

0:06:25.970 --> 0:06:28.130
<v S2>were just going to absolutely love her? Of course she

0:06:28.130 --> 0:06:30.740
<v S2>has the kick energy. She's just oh my goodness. She

0:06:30.770 --> 0:06:33.890
<v S2>is amazing. So so so excited for you to meet her.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.599
<v S2>Now number two new workouts will be dropping every Monday

0:06:38.630 --> 0:06:42.560
<v S2>to get you moving. Number three we are giving away

0:06:42.589 --> 0:06:46.160
<v S2>cash prizes on Mondays just for moving because we need

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.980
<v S2>to celebrate that. It is amazing. So today we are

0:06:48.980 --> 0:06:53.240
<v S2>actually giving away $1,000. I mean amazing, great before Christmas

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.330
<v S2>to go into the draw, complete any kick workout on

0:06:56.330 --> 0:06:57.950
<v S2>a Monday so you need to complete it on a

0:06:57.950 --> 0:07:01.460
<v S2>Monday because we are celebrating Mondays. Use the share feature

0:07:01.460 --> 0:07:04.729
<v S2>in App Share on Instagram. And just in terms of

0:07:04.730 --> 0:07:06.710
<v S2>what that is, after you finish a workout, it will

0:07:06.710 --> 0:07:09.289
<v S2>come up at the end with well done, you're amazing.

0:07:09.290 --> 0:07:11.150
<v S2>And then there's a share button. It is quite big.

0:07:11.150 --> 0:07:12.710
<v S2>We'll share it on our Instagram as well, so you

0:07:12.710 --> 0:07:15.650
<v S2>can see what that is and share that on your Instagram.

0:07:15.650 --> 0:07:18.380
<v S2>But just make sure you have your profile on public

0:07:18.380 --> 0:07:21.230
<v S2>so we can see it and tag us. Exactly. Yes,

0:07:21.230 --> 0:07:23.570
<v S2>that would be helpful. Otherwise it is unlikely we will

0:07:23.570 --> 0:07:26.360
<v S2>see it if you don't tag us. And now number four,

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.730
<v S2>which is I think a lot of the cloud links

0:07:28.730 --> 0:07:30.890
<v S2>will be very excited by this. Steffi, what is it?

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.140
<v S2>If you are new to Kik, if you haven't joined

0:07:33.140 --> 0:07:35.570
<v S2>us already, you can get 50% off your first month

0:07:35.570 --> 0:07:38.690

0:07:38.690 --> 0:07:41.510
<v S2>us now on a Monday and get 50% off your

0:07:41.510 --> 0:07:45.830
<v S2>first month and enjoy the new classes with Gretta! So exciting! Woohoo!

0:07:46.910 --> 0:07:51.980
<v S2>Now TikTok. Yes, you're scrolling at night, late at night,

0:07:52.010 --> 0:07:56.000
<v S2>or whenever the heck you scroll. I'm scrolling through and

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.230
<v S2>every now and then there are things that, to be honest,

0:07:59.230 --> 0:08:02.590
<v S2>drive me crazy. And it's okay. Like, I know some people,

0:08:02.590 --> 0:08:05.980
<v S2>we all have our own thoughts. Opinions like things don't

0:08:05.980 --> 0:08:09.910
<v S2>like things. That is our prerogative. And my prerogative is

0:08:09.910 --> 0:08:12.700
<v S2>to not like some things I'm about to talk about.

0:08:12.730 --> 0:08:15.100
<v S2>I think the most annoying thing about it, I love them,

0:08:15.100 --> 0:08:17.020
<v S2>I know, but I think the most annoying thing about

0:08:17.020 --> 0:08:19.000
<v S2>it and like this is no shade. Well, it kind

0:08:19.030 --> 0:08:20.470
<v S2>of is a bit of shade on TikTok, but like,

0:08:20.500 --> 0:08:23.679
<v S2>this is my thing that annoys me the most. Naturally. Right?

0:08:23.710 --> 0:08:27.400
<v S2>Algorithm we exactly. We should scroll past things that we

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.220
<v S2>don't like. We should do that, right? But sometimes you

0:08:30.220 --> 0:08:32.290
<v S2>get so sucked in to kind of like, hate watching

0:08:32.290 --> 0:08:34.959
<v S2>something that you're like, oh God, I just have to

0:08:34.990 --> 0:08:37.660
<v S2>watch this now. And then once you watch a whole video,

0:08:37.660 --> 0:08:40.000
<v S2>TikTok thinks you like it. And so then your feeds

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.780
<v S2>full of it. That's something that I hate. So, so true,

0:08:43.809 --> 0:08:47.950
<v S2>so true. Now, this is actually, I think this might

0:08:47.950 --> 0:08:50.260
<v S2>possibly become a little bit of a segment. Okay, cool.

0:08:50.290 --> 0:08:52.809
<v S2>So what this segment is going to become and you

0:08:52.809 --> 0:08:55.330
<v S2>guys please send it in to us as well. What

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.150
<v S2>trends can you get around that you love? You're like, yes,

0:08:58.150 --> 0:09:00.070
<v S2>this trend is adding value to my life, I love it.

0:09:00.070 --> 0:09:01.870
<v S2>And which ones do you like? Please can this trend

0:09:01.900 --> 0:09:05.170
<v S2>go to sleep and not come back? Okay, sleep and

0:09:05.170 --> 0:09:07.780
<v S2>look on the algorithm not to come back up. So

0:09:07.780 --> 0:09:09.730
<v S2>the one I saw the other day and I just,

0:09:09.730 --> 0:09:11.980
<v S2>I feel like this one has just got a little

0:09:12.010 --> 0:09:15.069
<v S2>bit out of control. This is for me personally, but

0:09:15.070 --> 0:09:19.000
<v S2>it is the TikTok morning shed. Yeah. Have you seen this?

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.429
<v S2>This is like when there's, like, a lot to undo

0:09:21.429 --> 0:09:23.530
<v S2>in the morning, right? Is that is that what it is?

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.320
<v S2>There is a lot. Not just like a few things.

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.860
<v S2>There is a lot to undo in the morning. So

0:09:29.860 --> 0:09:33.040
<v S2>basically it's people say they're shedding the skin, hair and

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.020
<v S2>other products that they sleep in. And when we say

0:09:35.050 --> 0:09:38.200
<v S2>like shedding their skin and hair, it's things they've put

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.890
<v S2>on top of their skin and hair that they shed.

0:09:41.890 --> 0:09:43.870
<v S2>So then in the they say like they go to

0:09:43.900 --> 0:09:48.010
<v S2>bed looking crazy, wake up looking amazing because they shed

0:09:48.370 --> 0:09:53.949
<v S2>this stuff. Yeah, I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount

0:09:53.980 --> 0:09:57.060
<v S2>of stuff that these people are putting on and taking

0:09:57.059 --> 0:09:59.490
<v S2>off and like all power to them. I just I

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.579
<v S2>think about it and I'm like, it's just so unachievable

0:10:02.580 --> 0:10:06.360
<v S2>for me personally. So particularly if it's like a thing

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.670
<v S2>that most people are saying you should do every, every day.

0:10:08.700 --> 0:10:11.280
<v S2>Oh my goodness me. So first of all, it's things

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.949
<v S2>include the silk hair bonnet. I mean that's that's fine.

0:10:13.950 --> 0:10:15.570
<v S2>I think that's quick. If you want to put a

0:10:15.570 --> 0:10:17.670
<v S2>bonnet on your hair or just have a silk pillowcase.

0:10:17.700 --> 0:10:20.460
<v S2>Yeah that's fine, I think also with those silk bonnet,

0:10:20.490 --> 0:10:22.290
<v S2>I think a lot of them are also going over those,

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:26.099
<v S2>like curling things. They never fucking work. I have tried

0:10:26.100 --> 0:10:31.080
<v S2>three different brands of the curling. She's talking about heatless curlers,

0:10:31.110 --> 0:10:34.140
<v S2>heatless curlers and they never, I don't know, it's probably

0:10:34.140 --> 0:10:37.110
<v S2>just my hair type, but they never, ever work. And

0:10:37.110 --> 0:10:38.730
<v S2>so every time I see a TikTok, I undo it

0:10:38.730 --> 0:10:40.439
<v S2>in the morning and it looks fabulous. I just get

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.170
<v S2>so frustrated because I was like, I'm like, that's just

0:10:43.170 --> 0:10:44.970
<v S2>never been the case for me. And it would actually

0:10:44.970 --> 0:10:47.280
<v S2>take me less time to do my hair in the

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.609
<v S2>morning with a hot curler or something than it would

0:10:50.610 --> 0:10:52.709
<v S2>to try and do before bed, and then it fail

0:10:52.710 --> 0:10:54.120
<v S2>in the morning, and me have to try and fix

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.069
<v S2>it anyway. I don't get it. I don't get that one.

0:10:56.100 --> 0:10:58.380
<v S2>I agree, and I do think as well. It's like

0:10:58.380 --> 0:11:01.650
<v S2>sometimes there's any even when sometimes people like promote like

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.560
<v S2>their airwrap. For example, I have an airwrap, I love it. Yeah.

0:11:04.590 --> 0:11:07.470
<v S2>When a hairdresser uses an airwrap what it looks like,

0:11:07.500 --> 0:11:09.060
<v S2>I'm like, oh my God, wow, you can create that

0:11:09.059 --> 0:11:11.550
<v S2>at home. And then I try and like, no, I can't. Right.

0:11:11.550 --> 0:11:13.380
<v S2>So I feel like as well with the heatless curls,

0:11:13.380 --> 0:11:15.750
<v S2>there are some people that pull it out and I'm like, okay,

0:11:15.750 --> 0:11:18.750
<v S2>I know my hair would not look like that. But

0:11:18.750 --> 0:11:20.429
<v S2>then there's also like, I feel like as well, the

0:11:20.429 --> 0:11:23.070
<v S2>effort to put in a heatless curl. It takes quite

0:11:23.100 --> 0:11:26.610
<v S2>a lot of time. I've also I remember I saw

0:11:26.700 --> 0:11:30.480
<v S2>Michelle Andrews from shameless talk about it, and I think

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.150
<v S2>it was her stylist did a review of I think

0:11:33.150 --> 0:11:36.600
<v S2>three of the team reviewed Heatless curls. It was very

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.520
<v S2>honest review, which I loved and I think it was Michelle.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.189
<v S2>But one person said like, I had the worst sleep

0:11:41.190 --> 0:11:43.949
<v S2>of my life because it's so uncomfortable. Thing is like

0:11:43.980 --> 0:11:45.660
<v S2>rock hard in my head and I have a sore

0:11:45.660 --> 0:11:48.420
<v S2>neck and no nice hair is worth it. And also

0:11:48.450 --> 0:11:51.689
<v S2>the hair is this. It's okay. Yeah. It's not. Yeah.

0:11:51.690 --> 0:11:54.470
<v S2>So the hair bonnet over in your right. The hair

0:11:54.470 --> 0:11:56.780
<v S2>bonnet usually is because of the heatless curlers, which takes

0:11:56.780 --> 0:11:58.910
<v S2>so much time to put on. The lip stain. Have

0:11:58.910 --> 0:12:01.160
<v S2>you seen that? The lip stain. People like paint this

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:02.960
<v S2>thing on their lips and then they peel it off

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.290
<v S2>and your lips, like, look like they have a tint. Essentially,

0:12:06.290 --> 0:12:08.360
<v S2>just do that in the morning. Those lip stains work

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.730
<v S2>in like five seconds. It's the shed. Okay, this is

0:12:10.730 --> 0:12:13.550
<v S2>why I don't. I just don't think it's necessary. Um.

0:12:13.550 --> 0:12:16.370
<v S2>Mouth tape. Now, I have to say, I actually am

0:12:16.370 --> 0:12:19.219
<v S2>mouth taping at the moment. It takes five seconds and I.

0:12:19.250 --> 0:12:21.530
<v S2>But I'm not buying expensive. I've literally go to the chemist.

0:12:21.710 --> 0:12:23.990
<v S2>This is a hack for you, for mouth tape. You

0:12:23.990 --> 0:12:26.360
<v S2>go to whatever chemist you go to. And I think

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.640
<v S2>the brand is like nexavar or something. It's like a, um,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.550
<v S2>it's just like a tape thing that you use on wounds,

0:12:31.550 --> 0:12:35.780
<v S2>but it's a white, very thin tape. Yeah. I don't

0:12:35.780 --> 0:12:38.120
<v S2>put it across my mouth. I put it from, like,

0:12:38.150 --> 0:12:41.510
<v S2>my nose to my chin. Yep. Vertically. Okay. And I

0:12:41.510 --> 0:12:42.800
<v S2>but I don't go all the way through my nose.

0:12:42.830 --> 0:12:44.420
<v S2>It's just kind of just wanted to. You could. Yeah.

0:12:44.450 --> 0:12:46.219
<v S2>And you can still kind of talk a tiny bit,

0:12:46.220 --> 0:12:48.110
<v S2>but what it helps you do is to breathe through

0:12:48.140 --> 0:12:49.910
<v S2>your nose when you're sleeping, which can help you get

0:12:49.910 --> 0:12:52.310
<v S2>a deeper sleep, which is scientifically proven. And yes, I

0:12:52.309 --> 0:12:54.350
<v S2>have to say, I am about that. But that's that's

0:12:54.350 --> 0:12:58.520
<v S2>the extent that I'm going to chin strap, a chin strap,

0:12:58.550 --> 0:13:02.750
<v S2>a chin strap, like, what's it strapping to? Like you

0:13:02.750 --> 0:13:03.950
<v S2>put it on like you put it around. I think

0:13:03.950 --> 0:13:05.930
<v S2>you put it around your ears and it straps up.

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.850
<v S2>And I think it's meant to, like, lift your face

0:13:07.850 --> 0:13:10.819
<v S2>or something. I just like, we don't need. Oh, that

0:13:10.820 --> 0:13:12.349
<v S2>reminds me of, like, the brace that I had to

0:13:12.380 --> 0:13:14.570
<v S2>wear with my braces. Yeah, but it's not for braces.

0:13:14.570 --> 0:13:19.880
<v S2>It's for. It's for shedding in the morning. Collagen wrap masks,

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.900
<v S2>wrinkle patches and under eye masks. It's just. Yeah. It's

0:13:23.900 --> 0:13:27.200
<v S2>just if you. I also think if you were to

0:13:27.230 --> 0:13:29.150
<v S2>add up, first of all, the amount of time that

0:13:29.150 --> 0:13:32.510
<v S2>takes to put all of this stuff on, I'm going

0:13:32.540 --> 0:13:35.030
<v S2>to say, especially with the heatless curls one hour. Yeah.

0:13:35.179 --> 0:13:37.520
<v S2>And then the cost of this. But that's it. Like

0:13:37.550 --> 0:13:38.960
<v S2>things like a face mask. You can't use that more

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.620
<v S2>than once. No. So like it just I just feel

0:13:42.620 --> 0:13:45.890
<v S2>like it has got to another. And I do think

0:13:45.890 --> 0:13:48.320
<v S2>as well, like another level that is just probably a

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.220
<v S2>bit inaccessible and unnecessary. And I also think on TikTok

0:13:52.220 --> 0:13:55.240
<v S2>as well. This is what I struggle with with the algorithm,

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.599
<v S2>is that the more shocking the start of the video is,

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.550
<v S2>the more likely people will watch it, the more likely

0:14:00.550 --> 0:14:03.609
<v S2>to go viral. So when people are doing this shed,

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.520
<v S2>the more stuff they're peeling off. Like the ASMR stuff.

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.730
<v S2>That's what gets people engaged in the video. And so

0:14:09.730 --> 0:14:12.310
<v S2>I feel like this trend has taken off, but kind

0:14:12.340 --> 0:14:14.290
<v S2>of also because of the algorithm, because the more like

0:14:14.290 --> 0:14:16.569
<v S2>you're shedding off, the more engaging it is, and then

0:14:16.570 --> 0:14:20.050
<v S2>it's actually become something that is putting more pressure on people.

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.450
<v S2>I just I just think if you don't have time,

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.660
<v S2>don't do it, don't feel pressure. You don't need to

0:14:25.660 --> 0:14:29.470
<v S2>be shedding to wake up as like a caterpillar. Like

0:14:29.500 --> 0:14:32.470
<v S2>it's honestly like it's a caterpillar. They said a caterpillar

0:14:32.470 --> 0:14:34.210
<v S2>who sheds. No. They turn into a butterfly. They turn

0:14:34.210 --> 0:14:37.570
<v S2>into a butterfly, a snake, a snake, a snake. But

0:14:37.570 --> 0:14:39.700
<v S2>they shed, I think they shed once a year after

0:14:39.700 --> 0:14:42.550
<v S2>they've gone into hibernation. We do not mean to be

0:14:42.550 --> 0:14:45.550
<v S2>doing this 365 nights of the year. So I just

0:14:45.550 --> 0:14:47.620
<v S2>want to say that is a trend that I'm not about,

0:14:47.620 --> 0:14:51.310
<v S2>apart from the mouth tape. Okay, Steffi, you know what's

0:14:51.310 --> 0:14:53.950
<v S2>funny is I've actually I keep getting targeted by this

0:14:53.950 --> 0:14:56.770
<v S2>face mask. I mean, I think everyone who follows me

0:14:56.770 --> 0:15:00.310
<v S2>would know. Now, I am a massive fan of face masks,

0:15:00.310 --> 0:15:03.130
<v S2>particularly James Cosmetics. I've been wearing them for years. But

0:15:03.130 --> 0:15:04.870
<v S2>I gotta say, when I think of James Cosmetics, I

0:15:04.870 --> 0:15:09.190
<v S2>think of you. Not the founder or anything. Just me. Um,

0:15:09.220 --> 0:15:12.340
<v S2>but it's it's funny. It's like it's the there's this

0:15:12.340 --> 0:15:15.580
<v S2>brand that keeps targeting me, and I'm so close to

0:15:15.610 --> 0:15:18.490
<v S2>buying it, but it's a face mask that you wear overnight.

0:15:18.490 --> 0:15:23.680
<v S2>And the results that people are showing in the morning is, like, unreal. Like,

0:15:23.710 --> 0:15:24.790
<v S2>are you sure? But how do you know? But I

0:15:24.790 --> 0:15:26.410
<v S2>wouldn't use it every night. But how do you know?

0:15:26.740 --> 0:15:29.050
<v S2>Is it reusable? No no no no no no. Like

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.270
<v S2>it's it would be like a special face mask. Like,

0:15:31.300 --> 0:15:33.850
<v S2>I know like the next day I'm doing something, but

0:15:33.850 --> 0:15:35.650
<v S2>you wear it the whole night. You wear it. So

0:15:35.650 --> 0:15:38.110
<v S2>sleep is a part of the shed process. Yes. Okay,

0:15:38.140 --> 0:15:40.780
<v S2>so you are. Now I'm about to become. I would

0:15:40.780 --> 0:15:43.090
<v S2>maybe try this mask, but I wouldn't do it with

0:15:43.090 --> 0:15:45.190
<v S2>the heatless curlers and the bonnet and the. And the

0:15:45.190 --> 0:15:47.800
<v S2>lip tape. Is it uncomfortable to sleep with a mask

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.810
<v S2>for the entire night? No, it's like a well, I

0:15:49.810 --> 0:15:51.010
<v S2>don't know. I haven't slept with it.

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.190
<v S1>I don't know. It looks like it like.

0:15:53.550 --> 0:15:55.350
<v S2>Goes to your face. Do you know what? Can you

0:15:55.350 --> 0:15:56.280
<v S2>find it? I honestly haven't.

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.750
<v S1>Even clicked on the ad yet, but I keep getting

0:15:57.780 --> 0:15:58.229
<v S1>targeted with it.

0:15:58.260 --> 0:16:01.020
<v S2>Can I just say also what? Steph is a sucker

0:16:01.020 --> 0:16:03.750
<v S2>for an ad if you. I actually am.

0:16:03.780 --> 0:16:06.210
<v S1>No I am. I click on that many freaking ads.

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:06.900
<v S1>I really do.

0:16:06.930 --> 0:16:08.430
<v S2>I mean, that's the point of them. But I do

0:16:08.430 --> 0:16:10.890
<v S2>feel like you make a lot of purchase decisions based

0:16:10.890 --> 0:16:14.130
<v S2>on who targets you on Instagram and meta. It's true.

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.160
<v S2>So brands listening send your ads to Steph. It's true.

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.180
<v S2>We'll purchase.

0:16:18.660 --> 0:16:21.990
<v S1>I'm impulse shopper for sure. Um, although you know what?

0:16:21.990 --> 0:16:24.510
<v S1>I'm an impulse. Put it in my cart. I'm not

0:16:24.510 --> 0:16:27.600
<v S1>necessarily always purchasing, but I do put it in my

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.330
<v S1>cart pretty quickly. And then I get the emails. It's

0:16:30.330 --> 0:16:31.650
<v S1>like you forgot something. You've abandoned.

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.510
<v S2>Your cart. That's good. That's good.

0:16:33.540 --> 0:16:36.390
<v S1>So something that I saw, and I'm actually. I'm really.

0:16:36.390 --> 0:16:38.430
<v S1>So we've been laughing a little bit at this. This

0:16:38.430 --> 0:16:41.190
<v S1>is again the diet trends that pop up. Like obviously

0:16:41.220 --> 0:16:44.850
<v S1>we've spoken about our stance on this before. It's not okay.

0:16:44.850 --> 0:16:47.910
<v S1>And this one I actually saw pop up because I

0:16:47.910 --> 0:16:51.420
<v S1>40 I 40 I follow body and Soul on Instagram,

0:16:51.420 --> 0:16:53.370
<v S1>and it was an article that they wrote about a trend,

0:16:53.370 --> 0:16:56.100
<v S1>and I'm really grateful that this trend hadn't actually popped

0:16:56.100 --> 0:16:59.160
<v S1>up on my feed, because obviously I'm doing a very

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.090
<v S1>good job at scrolling past market trends, which is great. Um,

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.600
<v S1>but I wondered if you'd heard of it. Um, but

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.910
<v S1>it's it's called. Wait, okra water trend. Okra is a vegetable,

0:17:11.910 --> 0:17:13.440
<v S1>and it's this water.

0:17:13.470 --> 0:17:14.580
<v S2>I've never heard of this vegetable.

0:17:14.609 --> 0:17:17.190
<v S1>Okay, cool. So it's it's it's the way it's described

0:17:17.190 --> 0:17:21.869
<v S1>is a slimy drink with slimy claims. Body and soul says.

0:17:21.869 --> 0:17:25.230
<v S1>And what was really good about this article is that

0:17:25.230 --> 0:17:29.220
<v S1>they got a dietitian to actually talk about the vegetable

0:17:29.220 --> 0:17:30.750
<v S1>and the drink and like what it would actually do.

0:17:30.780 --> 0:17:33.540
<v S1>The problem I have with this trend is that people

0:17:33.540 --> 0:17:37.950
<v S1>are talking about it improving fertility or libido and like

0:17:37.980 --> 0:17:41.820
<v S1>all this other stuff, and people are drinking like making

0:17:41.820 --> 0:17:47.879
<v S1>this every day and drinking this slimy, disgusting water. Right. Um, and,

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.060
<v S1>and talking about all these, like, benefits, etc. the dietitian

0:17:51.060 --> 0:17:53.850
<v S1>breaks it down and basically says, like, other than it

0:17:53.850 --> 0:17:56.430
<v S1>being like super high in fiber, which like the vegetable

0:17:56.430 --> 0:17:58.560
<v S1>is fine to eat in any kind of balanced diet,

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.649
<v S1>but concentrated to that level is an issue. Like, it

0:18:01.650 --> 0:18:04.260
<v S1>can really like fuck with your digestive system and etc.

0:18:04.260 --> 0:18:06.000
<v S1>so they have like a lot of problems with this trend,

0:18:06.030 --> 0:18:08.310
<v S1>just like any other trend that you see, like the

0:18:08.310 --> 0:18:10.050
<v S1>water with the chia seeds in it and stuff like that,

0:18:10.050 --> 0:18:12.060
<v S1>there's nothing wrong with chia seeds, okay? There's a lot

0:18:12.060 --> 0:18:14.970
<v S1>of benefits in chia seeds, but drinking them concentrated in

0:18:14.970 --> 0:18:17.550
<v S1>a water like every day there's a problem with overconsumption.

0:18:17.580 --> 0:18:20.280
<v S2>Of the trend was called shower in your body. Yeah

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:21.720
<v S2>yeah yeah yeah. Internal shower.

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.430
<v S1>So I just wanted to bring it up because again,

0:18:23.430 --> 0:18:27.000
<v S1>it's just another example of like when you actually get

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:31.590
<v S1>a dietitian or like scientist behind it to break it down.

0:18:31.619 --> 0:18:34.950
<v S1>It's like there is there's so many false claims with

0:18:34.950 --> 0:18:37.800
<v S1>this trend. Do not buy into it. Do not see it.

0:18:37.830 --> 0:18:40.020
<v S1>Like this trend is like, I don't know if it's

0:18:40.050 --> 0:18:42.810
<v S1>weight loss, if it's fertility, if it's libido like. And

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.060
<v S1>the thing about it that's really hard with fertility that

0:18:45.060 --> 0:18:48.810
<v S1>is such a fucking like that is such a delicate

0:18:48.810 --> 0:18:50.869
<v S1>space that if you are in that and you are

0:18:50.869 --> 0:18:52.820
<v S1>struggling through that, to see something like, oh, if I

0:18:52.850 --> 0:18:54.800
<v S1>chop up a vegetable and put it in my water,

0:18:54.830 --> 0:18:57.080
<v S1>you probably fucking do it because you are so desperate

0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.020
<v S1>for that, right? And that's fair, but so unfair because

0:19:00.020 --> 0:19:03.980
<v S1>it's not actually proven or scientifically backed. So just again,

0:19:03.980 --> 0:19:08.360
<v S1>another example of a kind of vegetable diet trend that

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.220
<v S1>is just absolutely bonkers and false.

0:19:10.250 --> 0:19:11.899
<v S2>I just wanted to fall off my chair while you

0:19:11.930 --> 0:19:14.119
<v S2>were talking about that. I think as well, what's really

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.989
<v S2>difficult is with and this comes back to the algorithm.

0:19:17.990 --> 0:19:20.990
<v S2>I mean, it's it's all platforms, but I think TikTok

0:19:20.990 --> 0:19:26.780
<v S2>has probably exacerbated it quite a bit. But when people

0:19:26.780 --> 0:19:30.020
<v S2>used to talk about, you know, for example, cacao has

0:19:30.020 --> 0:19:33.109
<v S2>benefits like it has magnesium in it, it can contribute,

0:19:33.109 --> 0:19:36.409
<v S2>it can help with muscle soreness, blah, blah things. But

0:19:36.410 --> 0:19:39.650
<v S2>when a dietician talks about that, it's the language is

0:19:39.650 --> 0:19:43.310
<v S2>this can help with this this it's not a solution. No.

0:19:43.340 --> 0:19:47.690
<v S2>And I think what's difficult exactly what's difficult with TikTok

0:19:47.690 --> 0:19:52.240
<v S2>in particular with the algorithm is using language like it can.

0:19:52.270 --> 0:19:56.470
<v S2>Some people put in kind of disclaimers around it and

0:19:56.470 --> 0:20:01.450
<v S2>the like the science backed stuff? That is not a hook. No.

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:05.230
<v S2>And what hooks is definitive language around like this will

0:20:05.230 --> 0:20:08.050
<v S2>improve your fertility, of course. And as you said, Sophie,

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.240
<v S2>like if you're going through and it's also very likely

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:14.470
<v S2>if you're going through infertility, your algorithm on TikTok, probably,

0:20:14.470 --> 0:20:16.869
<v S2>if that's what you're searching and watching, is going to

0:20:16.869 --> 0:20:18.790
<v S2>be on things that people are saying is going to

0:20:18.790 --> 0:20:21.340
<v S2>help you. Right. And I think what's hard about it

0:20:21.340 --> 0:20:25.510
<v S2>is there's obviously no moderation on the platforms around what

0:20:25.540 --> 0:20:28.060
<v S2>what advice people are giving. So someone could just start

0:20:28.090 --> 0:20:29.890
<v S2>like whoever started this trend. Someone might have watched one

0:20:29.890 --> 0:20:31.780
<v S2>video on it, not understood it, and then made another

0:20:31.780 --> 0:20:34.180
<v S2>video and then that went viral and then etc. but

0:20:34.180 --> 0:20:36.639
<v S2>I just I think what's really and I'm really struggle

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.770
<v S2>with this is just the definitive language that we have

0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.830
<v S2>that we have to use. But with hooks on TikTok

0:20:41.890 --> 0:20:45.129
<v S2>like this will help. It's not and it's not. It's

0:20:45.130 --> 0:20:48.370
<v S2>not true. But that's what hooks people in. And it's

0:20:48.369 --> 0:20:52.390
<v S2>why that type of content is going viral. And it's

0:20:52.390 --> 0:20:54.670
<v S2>why we just we don't see much about like, or

0:20:54.670 --> 0:20:57.609
<v S2>in some cases or whatever it might be because that's

0:20:57.609 --> 0:21:00.310
<v S2>not a hawk. So it's really, really hard. And I

0:21:00.310 --> 0:21:02.290
<v S2>just think it's so important to keep in mind when

0:21:02.290 --> 0:21:05.470
<v S2>you're watching this type of content, because it is very

0:21:05.470 --> 0:21:09.670
<v S2>likely that the person has, I don't know, just they've

0:21:09.670 --> 0:21:12.790
<v S2>changed the wording. So it like it is. It has

0:21:12.790 --> 0:21:15.340
<v S2>that hook, which just makes it really difficult. Now I

0:21:15.340 --> 0:21:17.350
<v S2>just want to say one positive one before we go,

0:21:17.380 --> 0:21:19.240
<v S2>because there are some good trends and I want to

0:21:19.270 --> 0:21:21.340
<v S2>I wonder if you've done this. There's this lady I

0:21:21.340 --> 0:21:25.389
<v S2>follow on TikTok and she cleans her apartment with the

0:21:25.390 --> 0:21:26.139
<v S2>timer on.

0:21:26.170 --> 0:21:31.750
<v S1>You think? You think I'm cleaning my apartment, I know. Anyway, continue.

0:21:32.290 --> 0:21:35.770
<v S2>And it I it's I actually think it's quite because

0:21:35.770 --> 0:21:38.410
<v S2>she makes it like a challenge for herself. She hates cleaning. Yeah,

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.479
<v S2>but and I mean now her whole channel is her

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.910
<v S2>cleaning her apartment, so maybe she likes it. Yeah, it's

0:21:42.910 --> 0:21:46.960
<v S2>really big too, but she puts her timer on. Yeah.

0:21:46.990 --> 0:21:48.750
<v S2>And then she'll be like, okay, I've got one hour.

0:21:48.750 --> 0:21:51.270
<v S2>Here's what I've got done. Yeah. When you don't go

0:21:51.270 --> 0:21:53.609
<v S2>on your phone and you clean efficiently, you can actually

0:21:53.609 --> 0:21:56.670
<v S2>get a lot done in an hour. But I find

0:21:56.670 --> 0:21:59.280
<v S2>it really interesting. And that's a trend that I can

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.500
<v S2>get around. I think it's a really good idea. Timed

0:22:01.500 --> 0:22:03.750
<v S2>yourself cleaning it. I haven't, but I do. I'm like,

0:22:03.780 --> 0:22:04.830
<v S2>that is a good idea.

0:22:04.830 --> 0:22:07.260
<v S1>It is a good idea. I think for me it's like,

0:22:07.380 --> 0:22:10.080
<v S1>I think gamifying cleaning is the only way I can

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:10.800
<v S1>literally do it.

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:12.690
<v S2>That's why I thought of you. That's why I thought, Steffie,

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.080
<v S2>it's time you start. You start timing yourself and writing

0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:16.980
<v S2>out what you've got done.

0:22:17.010 --> 0:22:20.040
<v S1>Yeah, well it is. Yeah, it's. That's a great idea.

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:21.630
<v S1>And maybe I will try it, but no, I have

0:22:21.630 --> 0:22:23.310
<v S1>never done that. Not to this point. The only thing

0:22:23.310 --> 0:22:25.740
<v S1>I've come close to is, is the other night I

0:22:25.740 --> 0:22:27.480
<v S1>really wanted to watch a movie, and I was home

0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:29.160
<v S1>alone and there was a lot to clean. And I

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.020
<v S1>knew that if I wanted to watch this movie, I

0:22:31.020 --> 0:22:33.810
<v S1>had to get my cleaning done within. Yeah. And it

0:22:33.810 --> 0:22:35.850
<v S1>had to get it done within an hour. Otherwise it

0:22:35.850 --> 0:22:37.200
<v S1>would have been too late to put a movie on.

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.149
<v S1>So there was a bit of a time pressure, but

0:22:39.150 --> 0:22:42.180
<v S1>I didn't necessarily time it. But I did put my

0:22:42.180 --> 0:22:44.219
<v S1>phone on Do Not Disturb, put it on charge in

0:22:44.220 --> 0:22:46.169
<v S1>the corner and didn't touch it. I actually missed a

0:22:46.170 --> 0:22:48.570
<v S1>call from your lovely husband in that time, because it

0:22:48.570 --> 0:22:50.190
<v S1>was the first time in a long time I haven't

0:22:50.190 --> 0:22:52.169
<v S1>had my phone on me and I got it done.

0:22:52.170 --> 0:22:53.310
<v S1>So yes, not.

0:22:53.310 --> 0:22:53.909
<v S2>Having for an.

0:22:53.910 --> 0:22:56.070
<v S1>Hour I did, but well, actually I think I'd done

0:22:56.070 --> 0:22:56.790
<v S1>quicker than that.

0:22:56.790 --> 0:22:59.040
<v S2>And yeah, I saw on your list was clean out

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:00.060
<v S2>the fish tank. Yeah.

0:23:00.060 --> 0:23:02.370
<v S1>Which it honestly takes five minutes, but it's just annoying.

0:23:02.369 --> 0:23:04.860
<v S2>Honestly, such a drain. I think I will never have

0:23:04.859 --> 0:23:10.080
<v S2>a fish tank for that reason. Just another task. Okay, team.

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:13.320
<v S2>So any trends that you see that you want us

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.840
<v S2>to talk about, please send them through. We will share

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:19.409
<v S2>our honest thoughts and I like this segment I like it.

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:27.090
<v S2>1234 okay Steffi. So the other day I mean this

0:23:27.090 --> 0:23:32.790
<v S2>is a very social media memory media episode also. It's

0:23:32.790 --> 0:23:37.050
<v S2>where a lot of the opinionated content comes from, slash content.

0:23:37.050 --> 0:23:38.070
<v S2>That's where we spend a lot of our time. We

0:23:38.070 --> 0:23:40.170
<v S2>have thoughts on. So that is why. But the other

0:23:40.170 --> 0:23:43.290
<v S2>day I was on Instagram and a post from Women's

0:23:43.290 --> 0:23:46.639
<v S2>Health came up. Women's Health Australia. We'll link it in

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:48.320
<v S2>the show notes. We'll link the article in the show

0:23:48.350 --> 0:23:51.230
<v S2>notes that the post was about, and I was like,

0:23:51.230 --> 0:23:53.600
<v S2>oh my goodness, Steffy, we have to talk about this

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.870
<v S2>because I feel like it is something that we don't

0:23:56.900 --> 0:24:00.950
<v S2>talk about enough. But I do think if we are

0:24:00.950 --> 0:24:03.830
<v S2>in this position, it takes up a shitload of time

0:24:03.830 --> 0:24:07.970
<v S2>in our mental space slash load. So someone sent in

0:24:07.970 --> 0:24:10.430
<v S2>a question to Women's Health asking if she should be

0:24:10.430 --> 0:24:15.139
<v S2>offended that her partner doesn't orgasm with her. So the

0:24:15.140 --> 0:24:18.590
<v S2>question was, I've been seeing this guy for a few

0:24:18.590 --> 0:24:21.650
<v S2>months now and things are going well. We have fun together,

0:24:21.650 --> 0:24:24.530
<v S2>we communicate well, and I feel like we're really compatible

0:24:24.530 --> 0:24:27.140
<v S2>in so many ways. But there's something I can't stop

0:24:27.140 --> 0:24:30.260
<v S2>thinking about. So far, he hasn't had an orgasm during

0:24:30.260 --> 0:24:32.570
<v S2>sex with me. He says it has nothing to do

0:24:32.570 --> 0:24:34.940
<v S2>with me, but I can't help feeling like maybe I'm

0:24:34.940 --> 0:24:37.879
<v S2>not attractive enough or that I'm doing something wrong. I'm

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:41.210
<v S2>not super comfortable around sex and this makes things worse.

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.340
<v S2>It's been hard to talk about, and I don't want

0:24:43.369 --> 0:24:45.859
<v S2>to make things worse by pushing him to talk about

0:24:45.890 --> 0:24:49.790
<v S2>it more. But I don't understand what's going on. What

0:24:49.790 --> 0:24:55.190
<v S2>should I be doing? Yours. Frustrated and confused now as

0:24:55.190 --> 0:24:59.000
<v S2>I am, Akimi, who is a qualified relationship and intimacy expert,

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.490
<v S2>commented on this which we will read through. But first

0:25:01.490 --> 0:25:05.389
<v S2>of all, Steffi, what do you think of this? I feel.

0:25:05.390 --> 0:25:09.650
<v S1>I feel for this person because I think it's so

0:25:09.650 --> 0:25:14.000
<v S1>normal and natural. Unfortunately, to jump to a conclusion that

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.250
<v S1>it's about us. If something like that happens. I mean,

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:20.600
<v S1>Josh and I have had a very active sexual life

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:24.680
<v S1>together for almost 13 years now, and there has been

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:30.050
<v S1>times where he hasn't finished and I instantly have gone, like,

0:25:30.050 --> 0:25:32.300
<v S1>what am I doing wrong? Or like, is it something

0:25:32.300 --> 0:25:35.750
<v S1>I'm doing? You just automatically put, even though you are

0:25:35.750 --> 0:25:38.540
<v S1>comfortable with this person, even at that stage. So I

0:25:38.540 --> 0:25:40.340
<v S1>wanted to point that out because this is like they've

0:25:40.340 --> 0:25:43.520
<v S1>just freshly started dating. It sounds like, and she's not

0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:47.109
<v S1>super confident or like comfortable around sex. So as someone

0:25:47.109 --> 0:25:49.090
<v S1>who is very comfortable with having sex with a partner,

0:25:49.090 --> 0:25:51.160
<v S1>you still kind of think like you're married.

0:25:51.190 --> 0:25:52.629
<v S2>What am I doing? Yeah. And do you think I

0:25:52.630 --> 0:25:55.659
<v S2>think the number one question which came up here. But

0:25:55.660 --> 0:25:58.600
<v S2>I feel like that I don't know if this is

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.149
<v S2>something that males feel. I'm just talking from talking to

0:26:01.180 --> 0:26:03.790
<v S2>friends and etc. and how I would feel. But I

0:26:03.790 --> 0:26:05.560
<v S2>think one of the first things we go to is like,

0:26:05.590 --> 0:26:08.620
<v S2>am I not attractive? Yeah. Like, are you not attracted

0:26:08.619 --> 0:26:10.030
<v S2>to me anymore? Yeah.

0:26:10.030 --> 0:26:13.060
<v S1>It's that and it's also just like, am I doing

0:26:13.060 --> 0:26:15.820
<v S1>a shit job? Like, am I, am I doing something different?

0:26:15.820 --> 0:26:17.650
<v S1>Am I? Like, do we need to mix it up?

0:26:17.650 --> 0:26:20.050
<v S1>Is it because we're doing the same thing like and

0:26:20.050 --> 0:26:23.320
<v S1>I think it's just normal. But I think, I think

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.500
<v S1>having the conversation about it, which is the hardest part,

0:26:26.530 --> 0:26:30.250
<v S1>is what always gets us through it, through that time.

0:26:30.250 --> 0:26:32.110
<v S1>And he'll be honest with me. He'll say, like, I'm

0:26:32.109 --> 0:26:34.630
<v S1>sorry my head is elsewhere, or like he'll explain what's

0:26:34.630 --> 0:26:36.400
<v S1>going on. And then I realize, okay, it's got nothing

0:26:36.430 --> 0:26:39.369
<v S1>to do with me. And I also have to remind

0:26:39.369 --> 0:26:42.550
<v S1>myself in those moments that there are plenty of times

0:26:42.550 --> 0:26:45.430
<v S1>that we have sex. And I'm enjoying it, but I'm

0:26:45.430 --> 0:26:47.080
<v S1>not going to finish. It's just like it's not going

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.030
<v S1>to happen that day. Whether there's something going on in

0:26:49.030 --> 0:26:51.640
<v S1>my mind or my body or whatever doesn't mean I'm

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.290
<v S1>not enjoying it, doesn't mean I don't want to be

0:26:53.290 --> 0:26:55.510
<v S1>doing it. It's just not going to happen. And that's

0:26:55.510 --> 0:26:57.609
<v S1>got nothing to do with what he's doing. He could

0:26:57.609 --> 0:27:00.010
<v S1>be doing a fantastic job and it's just not going

0:27:00.010 --> 0:27:02.109
<v S1>to happen. And I have to remind myself of those

0:27:02.109 --> 0:27:05.020
<v S1>moments in in those times because it's just it's something

0:27:05.020 --> 0:27:06.909
<v S1>that happens. But it is such a I don't know

0:27:06.910 --> 0:27:08.590
<v S1>why it's so awkward to talk about.

0:27:08.619 --> 0:27:10.540
<v S2>It's so true. And I think as well, it's like

0:27:10.540 --> 0:27:13.450
<v S2>in what you just said in this situation, I would

0:27:13.450 --> 0:27:17.410
<v S2>say 90% of the time we default to it's my fault.

0:27:17.410 --> 0:27:23.470
<v S2>So as in this situation, as the female you're feeling like,

0:27:23.470 --> 0:27:26.950
<v S2>or this person is feeling like, oh, he's not attracted

0:27:26.950 --> 0:27:29.560
<v S2>to me or we don't have that chemistry or whatever,

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:31.659
<v S2>am I doing the wrong thing as you just said, right.

0:27:31.750 --> 0:27:34.240
<v S2>I must be doing a shit job. Yeah, but then

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:37.660
<v S2>that person, the other person who isn't able to finish,

0:27:37.660 --> 0:27:39.729
<v S2>is probably thinking like, oh my goodness, I can't get

0:27:39.730 --> 0:27:43.090
<v S2>out of my head. How embarrassing. They must think that, like,

0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:45.180
<v S2>there's it's just so interesting. I feel like there's so

0:27:45.180 --> 0:27:48.840
<v S2>much shame that we put on ourselves in that situation,

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:51.900
<v S2>when it's often not actually to do with us, and

0:27:51.900 --> 0:27:54.300
<v S2>it's for factors outside of us. And I think that's

0:27:54.330 --> 0:27:57.210
<v S2>because we we go for someone to blame. Right? It's like,

0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.790
<v S2>and we blame ourselves. And I think that's what's really

0:27:59.790 --> 0:28:03.480
<v S2>difficult because as we can see in what the relationship

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.149
<v S2>expert came back with, she said, like some things that

0:28:06.150 --> 0:28:09.659
<v S2>could be causing it are stress, anxiety and depression. All

0:28:09.660 --> 0:28:13.919
<v S2>of those things are outside of the control of this

0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:19.950
<v S2>person that sent in this question in that moment. Exactly right. Medications, again,

0:28:19.980 --> 0:28:23.100
<v S2>totally out of control. And medication is something that people

0:28:23.100 --> 0:28:25.140
<v S2>could need. And it might medication can a side effect

0:28:25.140 --> 0:28:28.320
<v S2>can be impacting your libido or your ability to finish.

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.240
<v S2>But if you need the medication like that, that is

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:35.460
<v S2>what it is, right? Issues within the relationship, physical health conditions,

0:28:35.460 --> 0:28:39.090
<v S2>trauma or negative sexual experiences. And if that's from the

0:28:39.090 --> 0:28:43.440
<v S2>past again, yeah, you you can't control that. Right. As

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:47.730
<v S2>the new person in the relationship. Overstimulation from other activities

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.550
<v S2>like porn or masturbating. And I know, like if I,

0:28:50.700 --> 0:28:54.360
<v S2>I sometimes accidentally put a if you put a vibrator

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.510
<v S2>on too high and you don't build up to it,

0:28:57.780 --> 0:29:03.420
<v S2>you literally my clitoris goes completely numb. It's so true.

0:29:03.450 --> 0:29:04.110
<v S2>Does that happen to you?

0:29:04.140 --> 0:29:05.520
<v S1>Yeah, yeah. No, it's so true.

0:29:05.550 --> 0:29:07.320
<v S2>If you accidentally like, you have to ease into it.

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:09.450
<v S2>And for some of them, I actually some of my vibrators.

0:29:09.450 --> 0:29:11.310
<v S2>I can't go to level three because it's just like

0:29:11.310 --> 0:29:12.480
<v S2>numb straight away.

0:29:12.510 --> 0:29:14.700
<v S1>Well, where my mind went to with this is like,

0:29:14.730 --> 0:29:16.740
<v S1>I know that there's been times where Josh has thought

0:29:16.740 --> 0:29:18.540
<v S1>we weren't going to have sex this day, so he

0:29:18.540 --> 0:29:20.940
<v S1>might have, like, gone and done the deed himself. And

0:29:20.940 --> 0:29:22.980
<v S1>then I'm like, suddenly coming home and wanting it. And

0:29:22.980 --> 0:29:24.870
<v S1>he's like, oh, well, I don't have anything in the

0:29:24.870 --> 0:29:27.780
<v S1>tank right now. Of course, you know, that's totally fair.

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:31.080
<v S2>That's exactly right. It's exactly right. It's again, like something

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.690
<v S2>that is just out of out of our control or

0:29:33.690 --> 0:29:37.050
<v S2>fear of pregnancy or STIs. Again, if you are to

0:29:37.050 --> 0:29:43.490
<v S2>get in the mood. Yeah. You can't be thinking about it. Exactly. Exactly, exactly. Right.

0:29:43.490 --> 0:29:46.790
<v S2>So I think it's just something that and this is

0:29:46.790 --> 0:29:49.220
<v S2>obviously fantastic advice, but I just really wanted to talk

0:29:49.220 --> 0:29:51.740
<v S2>about it because I just feel like we so often

0:29:51.740 --> 0:29:54.950
<v S2>blame ourselves when, as you said, you need to have

0:29:54.950 --> 0:29:58.040
<v S2>a conversation about it. And it's there's it's often like 99%

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:01.760
<v S2>of the time, nothing to do with you. And there

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:03.440
<v S2>shouldn't be any shame about it. No.

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:04.729
<v S1>And I think the other thing that we wanted to

0:30:04.730 --> 0:30:08.600
<v S1>touch on as well with this is because, interestingly, I mean,

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:13.370
<v S1>I know in my relationship, if I'm not getting to

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:15.260
<v S1>that point of like, maybe it's just not going to

0:30:15.260 --> 0:30:17.930
<v S1>happen for me in this time. Josh does ask if

0:30:17.930 --> 0:30:19.760
<v S1>there's anything he can do or whatever. So he also

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.190
<v S1>does kind of for a second, is it something that

0:30:22.190 --> 0:30:25.100
<v S1>I'm doing wonders that, and until I tell him like, no, no, no,

0:30:25.130 --> 0:30:27.500
<v S1>this is my mind is elsewhere or whatever, he can't

0:30:27.500 --> 0:30:29.810
<v S1>move on from it. But I know, we know and

0:30:29.810 --> 0:30:32.930
<v S1>we've spoken about the orgasm gap before on here. A

0:30:32.930 --> 0:30:35.810
<v S1>lot of women don't finish during sex, and whether it's

0:30:35.810 --> 0:30:39.620
<v S1>because their person that they're having sex with doesn't necessarily care,

0:30:39.650 --> 0:30:42.560
<v S1>or just they just haven't gone. I don't know what

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:44.840
<v S1>it is, but it exists. Right. So we did a

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.030
<v S1>poll on our Instagram story because we wanted to know

0:30:47.030 --> 0:30:49.430
<v S1>if there was an orgasm gap in your relationship, because

0:30:49.430 --> 0:30:53.390
<v S1>I think it's also an important part of this. You

0:30:53.390 --> 0:30:56.030
<v S1>have every right to to want that for yourself, to

0:30:56.060 --> 0:30:59.780
<v S1>want that for your partner. Um, and unfortunately for a

0:30:59.780 --> 0:31:02.690
<v S1>lot of women in heterosexual relationships, there's a huge gap.

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:07.700
<v S1>So the poll had the following options. Yes, I orgasm more. Yes,

0:31:07.700 --> 0:31:12.200
<v S1>my partner orgasm more, orgasms more. No, we orgasm equally

0:31:12.200 --> 0:31:14.300
<v S1>and then people just wanted to see the results. And

0:31:14.300 --> 0:31:18.590
<v S1>the results were interesting. So yes, I orgasm more was

0:31:18.590 --> 0:31:22.760
<v S1>the smallest result at 5%. So knowing that a lot

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:27.440
<v S1>of our listeners are women listening. Um, that was quite interesting. Yes,

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:33.500
<v S1>my partner orgasms more 38%. No, we orgasm equally 30.

0:31:33.530 --> 0:31:35.060
<v S1>I was kind of happy to see that. That was

0:31:35.090 --> 0:31:38.030
<v S1>like pretty close to partner orgasm more. And then just

0:31:38.030 --> 0:31:41.680
<v S1>wanting to see the results was 27%. So, um, you know,

0:31:41.710 --> 0:31:43.840
<v S1>a big percentage of people were just curious, which was

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:45.820
<v S1>totally fair. Um, but I just wanted to bring that

0:31:45.820 --> 0:31:49.300
<v S1>up because I think it is important in this conversation

0:31:49.300 --> 0:31:51.490
<v S1>as well, because I think just going to the point earlier,

0:31:51.490 --> 0:31:54.250
<v S1>I know this whole question was about their partner not

0:31:54.250 --> 0:31:56.770
<v S1>finishing as well. But if that's you in your relationship

0:31:56.770 --> 0:31:58.479
<v S1>and you're the one that's not finishing and there is

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.390
<v S1>something that's going on, feel okay to talk about it.

0:32:01.420 --> 0:32:04.960
<v S1>Like feel comfortable to talk about it, um, because you

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:09.730
<v S1>both deserve to enjoy your time in the bedroom. Um,

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:11.890
<v S1>and I think if it's someone that you're going to

0:32:11.890 --> 0:32:14.560
<v S1>be regularly having sex with, then you should be able

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:16.030
<v S1>to have those conversations.

0:32:16.060 --> 0:32:19.060
<v S2>I agree. And I wonder too, is that because we

0:32:19.060 --> 0:32:22.600
<v S2>know the orgasm gap exists, and within that gap is

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:27.940
<v S2>women having less orgasms than men in heterosexual relationships. We

0:32:27.940 --> 0:32:32.740
<v S2>also know that a lot of women genetically can't orgasm

0:32:32.740 --> 0:32:36.100
<v S2>during sex. I am one of them. Like just from penetration.

0:32:36.100 --> 0:32:39.070
<v S2>It's not enough for me to orgasm, and that's nothing

0:32:39.100 --> 0:32:41.260
<v S2>to do with my husband or like, it's just I

0:32:41.260 --> 0:32:46.000
<v S2>just I can't. Right. So I think the other thing to,

0:32:46.030 --> 0:32:48.490
<v S2>to talk about as well is just there's a lot

0:32:48.490 --> 0:32:51.430
<v S2>of women that go without orgasms within sex, but I

0:32:51.430 --> 0:32:53.170
<v S2>think maybe it's because of movies or just what we've

0:32:53.170 --> 0:32:55.930
<v S2>grown up to, to kind of believe is that a

0:32:55.930 --> 0:32:58.990
<v S2>man like for sex to like, finish a man should

0:32:59.020 --> 0:33:01.600
<v S2>and will. And I think that also puts more pressure

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:02.980
<v S2>on this. But I think if you think about it

0:33:03.010 --> 0:33:06.190
<v S2>like there's been so many times where we've had sex

0:33:06.190 --> 0:33:10.360
<v S2>and I, I orgasm from like other things and then

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.370
<v S2>but there's times when I'm like, just just as you

0:33:12.370 --> 0:33:14.650
<v S2>said before, like, I don't think I am going to today. Yeah.

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:17.410
<v S2>And that's that's fine. Like that's okay. It doesn't mean

0:33:17.410 --> 0:33:18.760
<v S2>I don't love my husband. It doesn't mean we don't

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:22.180
<v S2>have great sexual chemistry, have great sex, are attracted to

0:33:22.210 --> 0:33:25.090
<v S2>each other. And so I think too, it's okay as

0:33:25.090 --> 0:33:28.300
<v S2>well if your partner if you're in a heterosexual relationship

0:33:28.300 --> 0:33:31.060
<v S2>and your male partner doesn't orgasm. I just think there's

0:33:31.060 --> 0:33:33.580
<v S2>so much pressure on like, you know, and it's every movie.

0:33:33.580 --> 0:33:35.830
<v S2>It's like when the guy orgasms. Well, sometimes in movies

0:33:35.830 --> 0:33:38.200
<v S2>it's both, but mainly it's just when the guy orgasms

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.980
<v S2>like that is the signal that sex is over. Yeah,

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:44.790
<v S2>but it doesn't. That doesn't have to be the case

0:33:44.790 --> 0:33:46.560
<v S2>every single time. And I think that puts even more

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:50.370
<v S2>pressure on this when it's not this person. Right. It's hard. Yeah, totally.

0:33:50.370 --> 0:33:52.710
<v S2>And on the guy as well because they probably also

0:33:52.710 --> 0:33:55.260
<v S2>feel that pressure. Well, unless I finish this, sex isn't over.

0:33:55.260 --> 0:33:57.240
<v S2>And like, what if I can't then like, is it real?

0:33:57.270 --> 0:34:00.480
<v S2>Like sex? Which obviously, of course it is. Yeah. Um,

0:34:00.510 --> 0:34:02.490
<v S2>but yeah, I just think the more we talk about it,

0:34:02.490 --> 0:34:07.230
<v S2>the better, because sex is not like the movies. Yeah, but.

0:34:10.350 --> 0:34:12.779
<v S4>What is it? Time for special share.

0:34:13.710 --> 0:34:17.790
<v S2>Shit. Steffi, what is your special share?

0:34:17.820 --> 0:34:21.360
<v S1>Okay, my special share is a. Well, it's a book

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.580
<v S1>I'm reading now, but it's part of a series. Okay,

0:34:23.610 --> 0:34:26.400
<v S1>so it's kind of the series. I read the first

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:29.430
<v S1>book from the series last year, and then I don't

0:34:29.460 --> 0:34:31.920
<v S1>actually know why I didn't continue it, because I do

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:32.729
<v S1>remember really good.

0:34:32.730 --> 0:34:34.380
<v S2>If you waited a year in between.

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.380
<v S1>Well, I'm on the third book now, but I enjoyed it.

0:34:37.380 --> 0:34:39.390
<v S1>But I think I must have got like, I don't know,

0:34:39.390 --> 0:34:40.979
<v S1>maybe you recommended a book. I think I just went

0:34:40.980 --> 0:34:42.930
<v S1>out of the series mode, and then I totally forgot

0:34:42.930 --> 0:34:46.350
<v S1>that I was reading the series, right? Anyway, I. But

0:34:46.350 --> 0:34:48.600
<v S1>then I remember buying the second and the third book,

0:34:48.630 --> 0:34:50.640
<v S1>and so it's been sitting on my shelf and I

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.610
<v S1>finally got through acotar, as everyone knows. Well, not everyone, but.

0:34:53.969 --> 0:34:54.779
<v S2>If you listen to the.

0:34:54.780 --> 0:34:58.080
<v S1>Podcast a lot about it. Um, and so I was

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:01.260
<v S1>very hesitant to get back into a series, if I'm honest.

0:35:01.260 --> 0:35:03.450
<v S1>But at the same time, I was like, no, I

0:35:03.450 --> 0:35:06.180
<v S1>really remember liking it. So maybe this will be different.

0:35:06.180 --> 0:35:09.030
<v S1>And it's been different and I'm so happy about it. Um,

0:35:09.030 --> 0:35:12.480
<v S1>so it's the Magnolia Parks universe is what people call

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:15.180
<v S1>the series. The first book is Magnolia Parks, the second

0:35:15.180 --> 0:35:18.060
<v S1>book is Daisy hates, and then the one that I'm

0:35:18.060 --> 0:35:22.200
<v S1>reading currently, number three is Magnolia Parks The Long Way Home,

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.719
<v S1>and there's another two to read. So one came out

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:26.969
<v S1>this year. There was originally four in the series, and

0:35:26.969 --> 0:35:29.609
<v S1>now there's five. Does that excite you? That excites me. Okay, amazing.

0:35:29.610 --> 0:35:32.790
<v S1>I'm already on page. I started reading the other book yesterday,

0:35:32.790 --> 0:35:34.650
<v S1>and it wasn't like a day where I just sat

0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:36.299
<v S1>down and read like there was other stuff I was doing,

0:35:36.300 --> 0:35:38.489
<v S1>and I'm already on page like 150. So like, I'm

0:35:38.489 --> 0:35:42.350
<v S1>really into this book. Um, and basically, like Daisy hates

0:35:42.350 --> 0:35:46.130
<v S1>and Magnolia Park. So Daisy hates is like part of

0:35:46.130 --> 0:35:50.690
<v S1>a gang family. Her and her brother lost their parents. Um,

0:35:50.690 --> 0:35:53.750
<v S1>I think his dad was a part of, like, gang violence, etc..

0:35:53.750 --> 0:35:56.960
<v S1>And but they're very, very wealthy. But they're like gang

0:35:56.960 --> 0:36:00.590
<v S1>lords kind of family. And she she's just such a

0:36:00.590 --> 0:36:03.380
<v S1>likable character. No no no no no. And it's based

0:36:03.380 --> 0:36:07.730
<v S1>in London. Yeah. And then Magnolia Parks is like the

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:10.520
<v S1>it girl of London. Like she's in all the papers.

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:13.520
<v S1>She's invited to all the parties, all the guys like her,

0:36:13.550 --> 0:36:16.550
<v S1>like that kind of thing. And they're just they're both

0:36:16.550 --> 0:36:20.210
<v S1>such interesting characters, different but really interesting. And their love

0:36:20.210 --> 0:36:23.000
<v S1>interests and like, history and stuff comes into the story

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:26.719
<v S1>so much, and you just become obsessed with their partners

0:36:26.719 --> 0:36:29.180
<v S1>and like, you're wanting it, you're wanting them to work

0:36:29.180 --> 0:36:31.520
<v S1>it out. I don't know how to explain it. Um,

0:36:31.550 --> 0:36:34.250
<v S1>but there's just a lot of drama and it's a

0:36:34.250 --> 0:36:36.230
<v S1>bit over the top because of, like, who they are

0:36:36.230 --> 0:36:39.529
<v S1>and everything, but I really love it. I really it's

0:36:39.530 --> 0:36:43.009
<v S1>kind of like Gossip Girl speak like they're from very

0:36:43.010 --> 0:36:48.410
<v S1>wealthy families and stuff, but not necessarily, like just had

0:36:48.410 --> 0:36:50.690
<v S1>a wealthy family. Well, Magnolia Parks, I think is a

0:36:50.690 --> 0:36:52.310
<v S1>bit of a like it girl from a wealthy family.

0:36:52.310 --> 0:36:54.440
<v S1>But Daisy, it's like the gang lord stuff. So it's

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:58.009
<v S1>a little bit like rougher background, but they're both very like,

0:36:58.040 --> 0:36:59.660
<v S1>I don't know, I think I just, I think you'd

0:36:59.660 --> 0:37:00.110
<v S1>like it.

0:37:00.110 --> 0:37:02.570
<v S2>I'm excited because, yeah, I haven't gone into a series

0:37:02.570 --> 0:37:03.560
<v S2>for a very long time.

0:37:03.590 --> 0:37:06.740
<v S1>Oh, good. Well, yes, you can borrow my books and, um. Yeah,

0:37:06.739 --> 0:37:08.180
<v S1>it's just one of those ones I can't put down.

0:37:08.180 --> 0:37:10.520
<v S1>And I'm. I'm really excited to just, like, keep reading it.

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:12.410
<v S1>I'm so excited that there's another two books ahead of me.

0:37:12.410 --> 0:37:12.950
<v S1>I love.

0:37:12.950 --> 0:37:15.350
<v S2>It. Thank you. Steffi, what about you? Okay, so mine

0:37:15.350 --> 0:37:19.310
<v S2>is Dan Kennedy, our amazing master trainer on kick has

0:37:19.310 --> 0:37:24.290
<v S2>his own brand called unify of some products. And I

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:28.219
<v S2>before New York he gave me the hydrate product. I

0:37:28.219 --> 0:37:31.009
<v S2>love electrolyte or hydrate.

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:32.570
<v S1>Once you get into things like that it's like hard

0:37:32.570 --> 0:37:33.890
<v S1>to drink water by itself. Yeah.

0:37:34.010 --> 0:37:36.859
<v S2>I'm like, why doesn't it taste like watermelon? Anyway, he

0:37:36.860 --> 0:37:40.690
<v S2>has a watermelon flavor of the hydrate powder that you

0:37:40.690 --> 0:37:43.000
<v S2>put in your drink to help. Essentially, to help you

0:37:43.030 --> 0:37:46.509
<v S2>stay hydrated. It's obviously got a lot of other electrolytes

0:37:46.510 --> 0:37:50.890
<v S2>and minerals in there for you, but it is so delicious.

0:37:51.250 --> 0:37:52.960
<v S2>I can't speak, it is so delicious. It's such a

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.450
<v S2>good product. And I just wanted to give Danny a

0:37:55.450 --> 0:37:57.790
<v S2>shout out. Yeah. Nice. Love it. So if you like,

0:37:58.030 --> 0:38:03.040
<v S2>if you are really into hydrate not hydrolyte hydrate products,

0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:05.739
<v S2>which is like a very big growing category at the moment.

0:38:05.739 --> 0:38:10.090
<v S2>That tastes yummy. Definitely try unify watermelon. Love it.

0:38:10.390 --> 0:38:13.089
<v S1>Well that's it from us today guys, but we will

0:38:13.090 --> 0:38:16.540
<v S1>be back in your ears on Wednesday with an episode

0:38:16.540 --> 0:38:18.549
<v S1>that I think you're going to want to tune into.

0:38:18.580 --> 0:38:21.370
<v S1>We have opened up in the past about both of

0:38:21.370 --> 0:38:25.689
<v S1>our experiences with PMS, but we've also heard you guys

0:38:25.690 --> 0:38:28.060
<v S1>talking in the community, and you've also sent in DMs

0:38:28.060 --> 0:38:31.150
<v S1>in the past about your experience and wanting to know

0:38:31.150 --> 0:38:35.140
<v S1>the things like the difference between PMS, PMDD, and just

0:38:35.140 --> 0:38:37.600
<v S1>kind of what to expect when, why? What's the science

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:38.170
<v S1>behind it all?

0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:40.210
<v S2>Your body. Right. Like, why do I feel like this?

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:40.510
<v S2>And why.

0:38:40.510 --> 0:38:43.000
<v S1>Don't we. It annoys me. Is that, like, why don't

0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:45.310
<v S1>we already know a lot of this stuff? Like. But

0:38:45.340 --> 0:38:48.160
<v S1>it's just it is good to have a reminder because unfortunately,

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:50.020
<v S1>we didn't grow up with a lot of this information.

0:38:50.020 --> 0:38:53.620
<v S1>So we had the incredible Hannah Dower on and she

0:38:53.620 --> 0:38:56.259
<v S1>taught us so much. So I hope you guys enjoy

0:38:56.260 --> 0:38:58.120
<v S1>that as much as we do. As always, we would

0:38:58.120 --> 0:39:01.060
<v S1>love for you to get involved with the Kick Pod

0:39:01.060 --> 0:39:04.390
<v S1>episode and continue our conversation in our Facebook group also.

0:39:04.420 --> 0:39:07.120
<v S1>We'd love your support on our Instagram at Kick Pod.

0:39:07.150 --> 0:39:08.739
<v S1>Come and follow us over there! That's where you can

0:39:08.739 --> 0:39:12.219
<v S1>send in your DMs and get involved with segments, but

0:39:12.219 --> 0:39:16.000
<v S1>we will be in your ears Wednesday by wait.

0:39:16.000 --> 0:39:19.000
<v S2>We're actually not finished just yet. We are going to

0:39:19.030 --> 0:39:21.610
<v S2>take a guess and say that if you listened all

0:39:21.610 --> 0:39:24.100
<v S2>the way to the end of this episode, you might

0:39:24.100 --> 0:39:26.319
<v S2>like Kick pod or at least a little bit.

0:39:26.469 --> 0:39:29.290
<v S1>And if you don't want to wait until the next episode,

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:32.560
<v S1>then you're in luck, because we have over 300 episodes

0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:34.600
<v S1>that you can go back and listen to.

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.170
<v S2>On Mondays, we catch each other up on our lives.

0:39:37.170 --> 0:39:40.230
<v S1>And every second Wednesday we publish kiekeboe episodes about all

0:39:40.260 --> 0:39:41.310
<v S1>things motherhood.

0:39:41.310 --> 0:39:44.190
<v S2>And then every other Wednesday, we speak with people who

0:39:44.190 --> 0:39:47.040
<v S2>we love and we think you'll love too. Like Zara

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:50.520
<v S2>and Michelle from the shameless podcast. What if at that point,

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:52.830
<v S2>someone came and told you in four years you were

0:39:52.830 --> 0:39:56.280
<v S2>going to have a podcast with 50 million downloads?

0:39:56.280 --> 0:39:59.580
<v S3>I would tell you it's unfathomable. That's ridiculous. Because if

0:39:59.580 --> 0:40:01.950
<v S3>I had have had this conversation with myself ten years

0:40:01.950 --> 0:40:03.719
<v S3>ago to be like, these are all the things you'd get,

0:40:03.719 --> 0:40:05.730
<v S3>and these are the downsides, but this is still what

0:40:05.730 --> 0:40:08.129
<v S3>it looks like. I take that any day of the week.

0:40:08.130 --> 0:40:11.820
<v S1>And the co-host of the Imperfect Podcast, Hugh Van Kahlenberg.

0:40:11.940 --> 0:40:14.490
<v S5>Our Life is a series of chapters and seasons, and

0:40:14.489 --> 0:40:16.140
<v S5>what I love about that is every chapter comes to

0:40:16.140 --> 0:40:18.630
<v S5>an end. And I'm not saying every single person just

0:40:18.630 --> 0:40:20.820
<v S5>embraced the hardship that you're going through. But for a

0:40:20.820 --> 0:40:22.620
<v S5>lot of us, the biggest issue we have right now

0:40:22.620 --> 0:40:25.260
<v S5>is we're spending so much energy wishing we were in

0:40:25.260 --> 0:40:28.319
<v S5>a different stage when we should just sit back and go.

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:30.780
<v S5>There are good parts to this that I will miss eventually.

0:40:31.020 --> 0:40:33.690
<v S2>So to those names and more in whatever app you're

0:40:33.690 --> 0:40:35.220
<v S2>listening to this episode in.
