1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Well, this is hilarious that we're in the same city

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: and we're on a phone podcast right now. I mean,

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: it's so two thousand twenty and it's not even two. Wow,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: we're really that ahead of the time, right It's actually

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: just this to me goes to show how life is

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: and everyone's so freaking busy. You can barely even get together.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: We can't even get together for twenty minutes to do

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: and at casual podcasts this week, well you know what

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of like the fact that we

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: figured out, like, you know what people don't know was

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: the reason why I'm not able to be with Kelly

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: is because I had to deal with the plumber. It

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: was late happens. This is like real life ship but

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: you know, talk about acting casual. We like figured out

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: like let's just do it on the phone. O my god.

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: And then this is kind of like considering how busy

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: our lives are, it's kind of a nice like trick

18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: to know that we can do this if we need to.

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I agree, I think the end person podcast is always

20
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: a little better personally. Yes, I think the giggling is

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: more fun. Well, the truth this is I was supposed

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: to be in Chicago this week anyway, so we would

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: have been doing it over the phone, which so it

24
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: was exactly how we had planned it. See the universe knew, um,

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: which is sort of what I wanted to talk about,

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: because I was supposed to be in Chicago for the

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: last two weeks doing the freezing my eggs process that

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I've been talking about a lot, and I posted actually

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: when I got to Chicago because I was getting my ultrasound,

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: and so I posted about it because I feel the

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: need to update people just about this whole process because

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: I've really opened up about it last season on Very Cavaliery,

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 1: and um, I still get questions about it. So of course,

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: like for me, that was my favorite part about being

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: on that show in general, was that I actually got

36
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: to connect with people on stuff that I was going through,

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: or like hear stories about that or just kind of

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: like other people experiencing the same thing. It just makes

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: you feel, you know, a lot, more connected and less alone.

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: And um, I really loved that. So anyway, I want

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: to keep the conversation going because it's been truly helpful

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: to me and hopefully me sharing my story it is

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: helpful to any other girls in my position, and or

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: who might be in this position. So anyway, Um, the

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: reason I'm home though, is because we canceled my cycle,

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: which was really disappointing. Yeah, um, so god, you know what,

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: I haven't cried at all in like a week, and

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I just teared up so bad. But I don't know

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: why I like telling the story out loud. Maybe I

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: mean that, I mean you and I honestly for the listeners,

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: like you and I haven't even really gone into much

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: detail exactly what went down, so what like why why

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: did you? Why did you cancel? Everything? Like? What was

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: the punis so basically what happened. And the reason I

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't even that's the very good point. Like

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: I haven't even talked to someone my friends about it

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: because when I got home, I was kind of defeated

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: in this like ick way, and you know, you just

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: don't want to keep reliving it, so you just I

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: think I just shut down for a couple of days.

61
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: But and it's also you know, a fairly like intimate thing,

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, right as I talked about it on a

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: podcast well and on national TV. But you know whatever,

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: it's but whatever. But the thing is is, like I

65
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: also know that you would like when you were ready

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: to talk about it, you would yes, Um, here we are, here,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: we are. So basically what happened is, you know, I'm

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: I am thirty seven, and because of that, they do

69
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: say with girls, you know, once you turn thirty five,

70
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: it's a pretty heavy decline in the number of eggs

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: that we have. We start losing eggs the second we're born.

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: So um, you know, we're declining our whole lives. But

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: I do have a specifically low egg count, and I'm

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: sure most of that has to do with my age.

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I do think some of it is also just like

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: your body and you can't help it. So um, I

77
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: was going in knowing that, and when I got to Chicago,

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: we initially noticed to have assists, which is exactly what

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: happened to me when I filmed this initially with very

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: cavaliery was they found assist and that scared me so

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: much the first time because I didn't know what it meant.

82
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: But the truth was is it just went away on

83
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: its own. And sometimes you have to have surgery or

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: a procedure to get them removed, but mine when I

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 1: went its own. So it's seeming like these are maybe

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: some common things for me about my cycle. And so

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: when I got to Chicago and I found that, they

88
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: were like, that's okay, Like we can still keep going.

89
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: We see this many follicles, like it's probably going to

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: go away on its own after this cycle. We'll keep

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: monitoring it. But seemingly things are fine. So I went

92
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: start ahead, went ahead and started my shots, and um,

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: I think I was on day five or six when

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: I went back for my second ultrasound, and and by

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: the time I got back for the second one, um,

96
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: this cyst had grown pretty like a good bit. And

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately what she thought were three follicles. I mean I

98
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: had other ones too, but like she was like, oh shit,

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: because three of the follicles that we thought I had

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: on my left ovary were in fact just a part

101
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of this cyst, which made the total number that I

102
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: had very low. So, um, it just was pointless to

103
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: do to keep going with this cycle, because the deal

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: with all this stuff is it's a numbers game, So

105
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: you want to get as many as you possibly can,

106
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: because one, you can't predict that a follicle is actually

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: going to produce an egg. Um, if it does produce

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: an egg, and they're able to retrieve it. You don't

109
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: know if it's going to be a viable egg, so

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: and you don't really find that out until you go

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: to make an embryo later when you have a partner

112
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: or sperm or whatever it is, and so you just

113
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: want as many as you possibly can. So they felt

114
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: like to put my body through the rest of the meds,

115
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: all the shots and then the I mean it's a surgery,

116
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, the procedure would just be kind of a waste.

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, would it? Would it diminish just doing that

118
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: diminish sort? I mean, I don't know the terminology, but

119
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: like diminish the return the next time you go to

120
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: try not necessarily, So basically every cycle is different. Because

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: you remember I went to Chicago a couple of months

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: ago to do my initial like ultrasound and check with them,

123
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: and I had way more follicles that cycle. I was

124
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: like so pissed. I'm like, damn it, I wish I

125
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: could have just done it. Then you know, um, but

126
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: you can't really predict what it's going to be like,

127
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: so you just you start priming your body, which is

128
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: what they call it when you start taking like I

129
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: had to take all these hormone pills, and that's the

130
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: ship that makes you feel crazy, Like had me on

131
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: progester own, which just makes you feel like you're pregnant it,

132
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: which is like adding injury to insult because you're actually

133
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: not pregnant, but you feel terrible and you're tired and

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: your boobs and all that stuff. Um Oh, I was

135
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: so emotional, Like poor Bobby. We were out trying to

136
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: film American Idol, and every time a contestant tells a

137
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: sad story, I was like, god, like trying to be professional,

138
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: but you're crying. So I hope they filmed you. I

139
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: was way behind the scenes on that one. Um. But anyway,

140
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: so they just felt like it would be too much

141
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: for my body and hopefully will um adjust some meds.

142
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: And I think they're actually going to start me on

143
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: a testosterone patch and I was like, oh my god,

144
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fucking monster, But oh my god,

145
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: you're also gonna like grow great and that's gonna just

146
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: really cheer my boyfriend up. I will tell you this

147
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: has been a lot, Like you know, I'm in this

148
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: new relationship and it's tricky just navigating like this serious

149
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: of a thing at the beginning of a relationship is

150
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: really weird. I bet you know. It's like the added

151
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: stress of like to like, you know, him being like, well,

152
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: she really wants kids, you know. I'm basically like, hey,

153
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: so nice to meet you, and I'm about to freeze

154
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: my eggs. I hope you're ready. Yeah, I mean he

155
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: we had to have these conversations like super early on,

156
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, which is a little weird. It's also maybe

157
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: just like adulting. I don't know, but it's definitely brought

158
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: up like that was a little weirdness. And then of

159
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: course like I'm just hormonal and have been and was

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: he there with you or were you alone? He came

161
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: up for that first week and I was in Chicago

162
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: when I first got there and was like going to

163
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: get settled and stay. He was up there to support

164
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: me and you know, help me get settled. And when

165
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: I went to the first Old or Sound, when we

166
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: thought everything was fine, um, and so we actually had

167
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: a great time. It's like a little vacation. But yeah,

168
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just been a lot to balance all

169
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: of that and the way I'm feeling and you're not

170
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: feeling like yourself, you know, as much as I wanted

171
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: to try to pretend like I was and I could

172
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: go about life as normal. I just really wasn't. I'm

173
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: super sensitive and all of that stuff. So and how

174
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: many days were you then up there by yourself? Um? Well,

175
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: I came home because I had two days of a

176
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: job that I needed to do, and I went back

177
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: up there, and literally I went straight to my ultrasound

178
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: when I landed, and they told they found the cyst

179
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: growing and all of that stuff, and so, um, I

180
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: went back and they were like, Okay, we're gonna talk

181
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: to the doctor and we'll call you. And when they

182
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: called me, they were like, he wants to cancel the cycle.

183
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: And I just after I got my ship together, I

184
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: got on a plane and came back to Nashville because

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be at home, you know, and

186
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. But like sister, pretty common, right,

187
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: like yes, okay, And so that was the deal, Like

188
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: the first time that that happened to me, I mean,

189
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, do I have cancer?

190
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, you just go to the worst place in

191
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: your head, especially like when you don't know, because I

192
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes there's doctors and they just tell you

193
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: the facts, and they don't understand that, Like we don't

194
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: deal with this every single day, So that sounds terrible

195
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: to me. And what does that mean? And what does

196
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: that mean for my body? And can I ever have

197
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: kids and all of that. Now that I've been through

198
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: that already, it didn't really like worry me this time.

199
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: It just it's kind of like a bummer because this

200
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: cycle goes away. So and we're gonna try again. Like

201
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: I said, um, we're trying to figure out the new plan.

202
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: You have to then go on another medicine to get

203
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: this medicine out of your system. I mean, it's crazy.

204
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: I hate medicine and I'm on so many medicines. But

205
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: what's crazy is that someone they figured out how to

206
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: do that. I know, well that is the like so

207
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, as much as I could be like, oh,

208
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: this is not ideal, it's amazing that we have this

209
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: opportunity as a Yeah, it really is. It really is.

210
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: It's really crazy, even like the to the point of

211
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: like knowing what medicine you need to take to clear

212
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: your system of the existing like there were women that

213
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: were the guinea pigs for this, that it was trial

214
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: and error and they you know, certainly it's not even

215
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: perfect as it is, but like it's closer to perfect

216
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: now than it was, you know before they started, so sure,

217
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: and they have different solutions, like they know they were

218
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's a protocol with this, like Okay, that

219
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: medicine regimen didn't give us the results we wanted, so

220
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: here's another one we can try. Like it's just it's

221
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: it's a pretty cool thing that's happening. So that is

222
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: the updates. I literally, like I said, last week was

223
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: completely shut down and kind of honestly a little dark

224
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: and defeated. But I've had this moment of like step back,

225
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's like we did that podcast on

226
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: New Year's Resolutions. So maybe it's just because it's like

227
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: the end of the year and we're going into a

228
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: new year, and I'm just like everything is happening exactly

229
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to, and I just have to stop,

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: like you have to stop trying to fit stuff so

231
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: much into this box that you wanted to and let go,

232
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, YEA, trust the universe that it's gonna happen

233
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: the way it should. Well, I mean, it's it's it's crazy.

234
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: I feel like so many things in life. Um, you know,

235
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: people say like it happens when your time, When it's

236
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: your time, you know, yeah, and whether you're a spiritual

237
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: person or religious person or what you know, it's, uh,

238
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: it's a God's plan, you know. Of cour if you're

239
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: just a Drake fan, you know, Oh wow, that was

240
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: a really really interesting little thing you just threw in there.

241
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Oh God. Yeah, So I think I got defeated, and

242
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: I like, of course, sends me into the spiral of

243
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: like I'm doing this alone and it's just not how

244
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: you picture yourself when you're a little kid having a family.

245
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: But again, like we said, it's amazing that we have

246
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: this option. And the truth is is, you know, I

247
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: have another friend of mine who she's a little bit

248
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: older than me, but she's been going through IVF and

249
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, she has a husband and they're trying to

250
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: do it together. And I don't think that it makes

251
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: it any easier, you know, I think I don't think

252
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: how like natural pregnancy with husband and wife is an

253
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: easy thing either. You know, it's just not the art

254
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: of having a child is just it's it's complicated, and

255
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: then they're once they're born, it's you know, it doesn't

256
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: get easy then either, it's and you know what's interesting too,

257
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: is you know and you would you see your thirty

258
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: seven years old like what a family looks like has

259
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: changed so much since then that you know, the feeling

260
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: of like feeling like you're doing it alone. Like there's

261
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the world that are, you know,

262
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: sort of walking the same exact path you are, whether

263
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: it's adopting alone, trying to conceive alone. Um, you know,

264
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: I feel like the rate of divorces higher now than

265
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: when we were kids, So they're parenting alone. Um. So

266
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, the good thing is that you're surrounded by

267
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: lots of friends. They love you. Um, that baby is

268
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: going to be so loved. It's around that. You know,

269
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're single at that point or

270
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: if you're married to Is this your Is this your

271
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: plan to just get me knocked up to have your baby?

272
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: I knew it. Compared in your voice, I'm sorry you're

273
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: going with that anyway? What do you have going on? Good? Well, Well,

274
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: it's not it's not having a child. It's more about

275
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: like I feel like a child. I am running around

276
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: like a chicken with my head cut off trying to

277
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: figure out last a Christmas presents, like even thought about it,

278
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: and it's like the countdown is here, so what are well?

279
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got two nieces, my family back in Virginia,

280
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: some friends here, um, and you know, and the thing

281
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: for me is I find gift buying to be so stressful,

282
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: and because of that, I wait till the last minute,

283
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: which causes panic to ensue, and then it makes it

284
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: even more stressful because you know, it's the older dog like,

285
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: it's it's the thought that counts, and by waiting, I

286
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: have removed the time to put real thought into something.

287
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: And that is truly what stresses me out. And it's

288
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: not about like how much I'm gonna spend, because honestly,

289
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: like when I stumble upon or find or think of

290
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: the perfect gift for somebody, I don't give a ship

291
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: what it cost, you know, like because I'm so happy

292
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: that I've actually like solved something for myself. But normally

293
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: what happens when I put myself in the situation is

294
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: I run around and buy a bunch of stupid ship

295
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: that like doesn't really have any thought, Like I'm like, oh,

296
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: this is cute or this is funny or I like

297
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: force some fake meaning into it, um, just to sort

298
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: of check check it off the list. So one of

299
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: my New Year's resolutions is to like get ahead of

300
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: Christmas shopping. My mother, are you going to start your

301
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: certain January? What's the plan? Well, you know, here's the thing.

302
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: And I know I talked about having lists in my

303
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: phone all the time, but like our phone is an

304
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: amazing notepad, and I did just I bought UM, I

305
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: bought a gift for a friend today that actually had

306
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: some thought in it. And I'm really proud of it

307
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: and excited. It's so excited to give it to her.

308
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: So and and it was and the the idea came

309
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: out of a conversation that I was having with her

310
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: when we were having dinner. She said something that she

311
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: would love and I heard it and I made a

312
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: note of it. And that's my gift was born out

313
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: of that. So I'm gonna listen better to things that

314
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: people what what friends and families say they I'll make

315
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: a note of it, and if I see it, I'll

316
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: buy it. I'll store it until Christmas, or I'll give

317
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: it to them on their birthday. I just want to

318
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: be a better gift giver. I's also actually really thoughtful

319
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: to just keep paying attention to what your friends are

320
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: saying and like talking about and wanting, Like you know,

321
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: my friends who are really good at giving gifts. It's

322
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: it amazes me. And it doesn't it doesn't have to

323
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: be something big and expensive. It's it's truly the thought

324
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: that counts. And when I receive a gift that is thoughtful,

325
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: that's that's where the value it means so much more

326
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: so much more so. Um that you know, that's kind

327
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: of where I am right now. And you know, I

328
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: thought that maybe it would be fun to like help

329
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: people with I dritted down some like just thoughts on

330
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: like if you're find yourself in the same situation as me.

331
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Obviously for those that I haven't put thought into, I

332
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: just have to like come up with things. Um So,

333
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: how do you tips on how to do that? Because

334
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm literally like, Okay, I've gotten a present for my well,

335
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: let's you know, like these things. And I don't think

336
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: I'm reinventing any sort of list here, but like you

337
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: can make things for people, Um Like, what give me

338
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: some examples of what you're gonna make? Well, I'm not

339
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: very crappy, right, you could. You could bake, You could

340
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: bake a ton of cookies and yeah, yeah you could.

341
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: You could write someone a really nice note. I actually

342
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: love a good note like that to me means I mean,

343
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: you could give me that for my gift of any

344
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: any time ever, just about like something real about our

345
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: relationship or anything like that the year, and that would

346
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: mean more to me than something, you know. I was

347
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: even thinking, like I think you could go through your

348
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: photos on your phone and find like a picture of

349
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: you with your friend or family member or loved one

350
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: and have it printed out and then write a note

351
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: on the back of it about that moment or about

352
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: what what you love about your friend or family member

353
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. UM and then it's something that's

354
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: also tangible that you can put on display, and it's

355
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: not just a note that goes into a UM. You know.

356
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of a basic thing, but like,

357
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: candles are a really nice gift. Like all of what

358
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I love about a candle is it's really useful, and

359
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: I generally remember who gave me candles, and every time

360
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: I lighted, I think about the person who gave it

361
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: to me. UM By in fact, burning right now is

362
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: the candle that you gave me. Un It's so good.

363
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: That ship smells good. It's soy wax. I feel you know,

364
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: I don't feel gross after burning it around myself. Do

365
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: you think thoughts about me every time you light it? Yes? Yes?

366
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: Another thing that um I got this off of Instagram.

367
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: It was a chip that some money for. But like,

368
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: another really nice thing to give people is books. O.

369
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: You know, I know it can be stressful to think, like, well,

370
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: what are they going to run and read? It's always

371
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: awesome to give someone a book that you loved and

372
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: just say I read this book, I loved it. I

373
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: think you might like it too, because then at least

374
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: you know that you thought it was good. And especially

375
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: if you guys have common interests, like if it's a

376
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: friend of yours, y'all share a lot of common interests

377
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: or spiritual things or you know, whatever that might be

378
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: in line. That's a good idea. I like that one.

379
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: And then my favorite book that I read this year

380
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: is called to Shape the Sleeping Self, and it's by

381
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: a guy named Jedediah Jenkins who took im He like,

382
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: quit his job, sort of quit his life and biked

383
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: from Portland's down to Patagonia. Okay, minus the biking part.

384
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty amazing, right, just like I can't do

385
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: this ship anymore? Yeah, I mean that's that That's really

386
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: the the crux of it is like the challenge, but

387
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: like when you bike and do that, the situations to

388
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: put them in is really what makes the trip, makes

389
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: the trip magical, and it gives you a lot of

390
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: time to be in your head. Um, let's see other ideas.

391
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Cards and you know car and if you guys don't

392
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: own Cards against Humanity or your friends don't buy it

393
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: for them. It is such a fun way to connect

394
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: with friends and family Thanksgiving. I played at Thanksgiving with

395
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: my parents who are in their seventies and my dad.

396
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: My dad, they've never even heard of the game. Um,

397
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: they're not crude people. So I was a little embarrassed

398
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: on the time, and my dad got the hang of

399
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: it and literally crushed us all. Like there were moments

400
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna kiss my pants the things

401
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: that he put down, and he did it with such intention.

402
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: He played the game so well. And my mom had

403
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: some funny parts, but like I don't know that she

404
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: got how funny it was. When she put it down,

405
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: but my dad's were like sexual and disgusting and crushed

406
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: to us. Um, let's see, it's always a good icebreaker

407
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: at any sort of like gathering. I feel like totally

408
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: it's a fun way to, like, you know, if you're

409
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: having a smaller party, like to make everyone like actually

410
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: sit down and interact together versus like people breaking up

411
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: into twos and threes. Um booze wine always a good

412
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: thing unless you're friends sober um. And look, not not

413
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: to advertise Amazon, but you know, if you don't do

414
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: not have an Amazon Prime Um membership, it is worth

415
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: than whatever hundred dollars a year because right now, when

416
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: you are in full on panic mode, the largest store

417
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: in the world is at your fingertip and you can

418
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: have almost anything in the day. And the closer we're

419
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: getting to Christmas, the more important that's going to be.

420
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: You know. Like I received a gift today that I

421
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: ordered for somebody from Pottery Barn and it was coffee

422
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: mug and it was shattered into a million pieces. And

423
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: I called them and asked if they could send it

424
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: overnight because I'm leaving on Friday, and they couldn't get

425
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: it to men yeah, I think it's done as far

426
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: as shipping and tom because there are every place seems

427
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: so backed up too, So I'm gonna have to go

428
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: do them on locally, I think, because then you're supporting

429
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: local business. So I order a lot of stuff online

430
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: because I panic and me too. Yeah, so well, these

431
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: are actually really good tips. I'm walking away thinking about

432
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: a couple of different ideas that might work for me.

433
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: So look at you with all your knowledge. Um well,

434
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean not me and I'm just kidding seriously, Well,

435
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: good luck to you. Do you have any final tips

436
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: for the people? Not? Well, Look, the holiday season is

437
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,280

442
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: in two. Yeah. I think that that that is like

443
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: a huge thing for me to to be present over

444
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: this break. You know, yes, get out, get off my phone,

445

Speaker 1: just be with my people. Life is too short, Like

00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I know we talked a little bit

448
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: about it at Thanksgiving. You know, let's try and keep

00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: at holiday parties if you're worried about interacting with your family,

452
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,280
