<v Speaker 1>Wind Down with Jannah Kramer and I Heart Radio podcast.

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>So excited to wind down today. So much to talk about.

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>We have so much. We have some great topics that

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I wrote down in my I have some great topics

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>that I wrote down on my phone. Sounds like it

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>was a busy week. It was. Let me just start

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>by saying this. Michael and I have why have a

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>YouTube channel that we have a series that we're doing

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>called Have a Seat with Jan and Mike and so

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>we um get emails from people and we answer, we

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>answer the questions. And I learned a lot about my

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>husband this past one. Yeah, like what he doesn't believe

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in soulmates? What I don't exactly. I don't believe that

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.639
<v Speaker 1>there's one person in this world that is meant for you.

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>But do you believe in I believe in multiple soulmates.

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>You can have friends who are soulmates. You can have

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, a deal with certain lovers that you have

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>made this deal to learn this lesson and grow with

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 1>and then you move on and there might be another soulmate.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So I believe in multiple. So you believe in multiple

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and you don't believe in soulmates at all? Well, my

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. The whole stigma in my mind is soulmatee

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>is there's one person for you? And that's why yes,

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying and when I say yesterday I said we're

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>meant to be. Absolutely we're meant to be. Then what's

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the difference between meant to be in soulmate? Because then

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I just my whole thing is that I feel like

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the expects I feel like the expectation. You're setting expectations

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>so high where you might meet someone great and maybe

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.919
<v Speaker 1>they don't check one box and then all of a sudden,

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>people are like, oh, they can't be my soul mate

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>because my soulmate would have these characteristics. I feel like

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>people are just setting their expectations by looking for one

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>person out there as opposed to seeing what's in front

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of them and being and not being blinded by their

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>high expectations. Is being like, Wow, this person is amazing, right,

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>but that's your one. Why can't the one slash be

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>your soulmate? I think that's what it's trying to say.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Soul mate at this moment, well, that's what she probably

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>have multiple soul mates. I feel like your soul mate

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>is the one. I feel like there are lots of

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>different people that you can be with. Obviously, we've all

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>been in different relationships. There's I think there's different people

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>for possibly different seasons. But I believe your soul mate,

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 1>slash the one is the one that you stay with,

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the one that you like. For example, my mother, she

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>was married to my father for twenty something years. Was

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that her soul mate? No, it was the one that

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>during that season and she was meant to have kids.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>But her soul mate, her one is the one that's

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>she's married to now that's going that they're going to

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>be together forever, and that's her twin flame, not her

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>soul mate. But this is the same, right, twin flame

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>is very different. No, Lobster's Friends is fens twinlame different.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>What's twin twin flames is what your mom's experience. Now,

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Like that's really meant to be. You are twin flames

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>burning the same candle in the same pace, and you

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>guys are really say, I think that's the same definition

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of a soul mate. Like I think if you stay

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>with me, Michael, that you were my soul mate. I

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>thought I've had other soulmates, but those people left, right,

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing. It's it's all You'll think they're

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>your soul mate. Then all of a sudden something happens,

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>they must not be my soul mate. And then you

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>find another person. Oh I really like this person there

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>soul mate, And so people just say the next the

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>next three thing is their soul mate. Okay, we're married

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>right now. So you still don't think I'm your soul mate.

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we're meant to be. What is the difference.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just like turning you. I'm ready to this, but

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand what the different Like I'm truly at like,

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>what is the difference. So now you're saying there are

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>multiple soulmates, I'm not saying there's multiple there's multiple people

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>in seasons, yes, I think, but your true soulmate, so

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I think there could be multiple ones. But you're true

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>soul mate is the person that stays with you, that

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>is with you till the end, you fight through stuff,

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't leave when stuff gets hard and you fight.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>That is your soul mate. You are living with your

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>with your mate and your souls together, and we are

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>doing that. But people's I'm just saying people's idea and

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>your soul mate, yes or no. We need a soul

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>mate expert. People's idea of soul mate is that there's

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 1>one person one not multiple soul mates. One person out

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>there form right, I'm you're one person. Yes, But I'm

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>saying you've even said yourself, Yeah, I've thought I've had

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>multiple soul mates. I thought before, just like I thought

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>they were the love of my life. They weren't just

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like I thought. I was saying. That's all I'm saying

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>is that it's ever changed. I didn't. So the next person,

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I know you always like to say this and be

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you always like to say, well, Mike, if we get divorced,

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>so I'm going to play that card. If we got divorced,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>there for me, then then the next person is your

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>soul mate. So it's just everyone, he's a soul mate.

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You're so mate everyone. It's like, when does it stop?

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Come on? When you are with the person for life,

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>your twin flame, Yeah, twin flame experts. So if we

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>were to be together till the end, you were truly

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 1>my soul mate, And on my deathbed, I'll write in

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>my little note like I love you were my soul mate,

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm you know gonna die and you're gonna

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>be like, man, I wish I would have told her

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that she was my soulmate. That took a really dead time.

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I see the movie right now. You might just tell me.

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 1>You can tell her when you go upstairs. I just

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the difference mean. I mean, if you

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>if you can honestly look at me right now and

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>say that I'm not your soul mate, slash the one,

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you're my wife and you're the one I meant to

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>be with. I need the term. I need to know

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm mate. This is going to drive her stil nuts

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>so mad by Janna. If she really likes a meal,

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>like something really good definitely not Tahita, And if you

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>definitely and she wants you to try bye, if you

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>say no, she'll get like highs within anxiety and she's

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>like you have to try this. I'm like, I know

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 1>it's so good. Were and I was eating the most

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>incredible cech ever and I think it was so good

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, honey, we please try. But he's like, no,

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. I was like, can you please try it?

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Buy it because I just know how good it was.

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>She takes it personal, like she made it. She's like,

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>please try this. I knew how much you love it.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>And guess what did he order? Like five more the

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>entire time we were there, it was fantastic. But the

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>point was for a twenty minutes she was like, couldn't

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>sit still, like just try it, just place, try it.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And then he's like, well try this. I was like, no,

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. But for some reason, when I want someone

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to try something because I know that they're going to

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 1>like it, it really it physically gives me hives and

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I started to get anxiety. I was so she feel

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>this way about me not saying the soul mate, well,

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>it just it just makes me sad that, like you

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think that I'm your the one and you're you're

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the one I'm meant to be with what I would

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>google airplane writing words over homes and like, Janna, you're

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>my soul mate. He doesn't, really, I'm not your soul mate.

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It's obviously I'm going to keep looking for my soul mate.

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>So if anyone wants to be my soul mate, email

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>me at Janne Kramer. I hurt me. I'm gonna find

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>myself a soul mate. Next topic, what else what else. Oh,

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>we've just turned the dateline. Um, so the next thing

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>is when we were doing our little half a seat. Um,

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine. On YouTube, my husband says, So here here's

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the deal. I went to therapy and I've just been

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>very overwhelmed. We have a new baby coming obviously in

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>less than seven weeks, and it's fast approaching, and I

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>get very overwhelmed with things. I have a very hard

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>time delegate. I love actually I love delegating, but I

0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>have a very hard time asking for help. So my

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>pist encouraged me to ask for help. More So I

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>wrote a honey to do list, and I said, and

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I put on there too when I would like it done,

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>because I want things done yesterday. But you know, a

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>great point too. No, it was not on there, but

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>so I said, you know, please have all the trash

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.880

<v Speaker 1>the kids that I was having. I need we need

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.480

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 1>please call her doctor's places and get her files sometime

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>before this date that we're going to the new doctor

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>at just things that like I didn't I wanted to

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>alleviate off of my plate. And he says to me, Michael,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, okay. No. First of all, I said, okay,

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 1>that's not the first thing you said when you gave

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.599
<v Speaker 1>me the list. How long is the list? There was

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 1>like four things? What did I say? You were like like,

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>right now, you have to give this to me. Well, again,

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like timing. I was in the middle of I

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>was in the middle of doing something, okay, and she's

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like I hate when I get overloaded too.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>So it's like I'm in the middle of doing something,

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>taking care of something, and then she hands me this list,

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like like right now, like you're gonna hand

<v Speaker 1>work or whatever it was I was doing, Like, you're

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna hand this to me. So it's all about timing

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>for me, okay. But then he says, well, where is

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>very good job to make sure to put my shoes away.

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.280

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.960

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.480

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna walk into about two dozen half drinking Lacroix cans

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>everywhere pregnant, so that stops you from throwing them away.

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.000

<v Speaker 1>and that wives do that you don't know that we

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.520

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:15.319

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>touch anything, don't do anything. The world will fall apart.

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Give it another week. Your life is like Lee. I'm

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>not challenging you, just I'm challenging the women to stop. Stop,

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 1>go on strike. Pick up the kids stuff, don't do

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>don't do the laundry, don't fold their clothes, don't put

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 1>away there they're over there. I will give Michael that

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>he does. We do a very good job of like

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>doing the dishosher and doing those like household chores. I

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>will give him that. But when it comes to the

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.680
<v Speaker 1>kids stuff, the planning, and you know, all the things

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>that I that up for the new baby, you know what,

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not going to do anything anymore. And I'm

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna see and you always will you do it before me. Okay,

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll see if you even think of something, the things

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that actually need to be taking place. I'm heated. I'm

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>on strike, ladies and gentlemen. You're gonna have a lot

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of I mean, what else are you going to do? Right, honey?

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>So can you guys explain to me? Um? I'm gonna

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>email Watermelon now the giant dollhouse that's been constructed that

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>looks like a guest house. We were we were talking

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>about Christmas ideas. It's actually a guest room in the

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>back since our son is taking our third bedroom here,

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it's actually the guest room. So my we were looking

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.559
<v Speaker 1>at our backyard and we realized that the playgrounds that

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>that we got for Jolie last Christmas, she's completely outground.

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't been stand in anymore. She's she's too she's

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>too big for it. She doesn't even go in it.

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.319
<v Speaker 1>So I started looking at dollhouses online and they're very expensive.

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>They're like two grand up, like they're real nice wooden ones.

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.079
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, hey, honey, I was thinking about

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>buying this for Jolie for Christmas, because, as you know,

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm already on top of things for what we should

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>get our daughter for Christmas, three months ahead, three months

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>ahead of thinking. He's just ugly staring, he was giving

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>so anyways, so I said, and he so we're we're

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>building right now a house in Nashville. Okay, so we're

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna we're yes, we're making our our our move back

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to nash sometime next year. And he wants a work

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>bench so this is a little offside moment. He wants

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a work bench in his garage, and I said, why

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>do you want to work bench? You don't build anything

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>like you don't He's I've never You still need a

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>place in new cabinets. You need to work bench. You

0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>need stuff, even if it's a household stuff. And you

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>fix something, you gotta have a place to do it.

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't do it on the kitchen counter. But like

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I grew up, you have a workbench, garage, you got cadas,

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you got tools, that's what you three years, I've never

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>seen him do anything on the workbench that we had

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>at the old house. He might have put like a

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.640
<v Speaker 1>little like nail, like those little nail things that you

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>put for you know, hanging a paint tang. I was like,

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you've never done anything handy, right, So he's like we're

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 1>circling background. He's like, well, what if I make her

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a doll house? And I was like, you can't make

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>her a dollhouse, Like there's no way. And he's like,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>if I make her a dollhouse, can I get my

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 1>work bench in the house. And I said, fine, if

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you can prove to me that you can actually make

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a dollhouse. So cut to the next day he was

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>at home depot and he got all this would and

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and Michael, yeah, So again, just because Jeanna

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>hasn't seen me physically do any of this, you know,

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>carpentry or manual labor or anything like that, because we

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 1>haven't had to. But there's nothing we've had to build

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>or do anything like that. Because she hasn't seen it

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>first hand, she doesn't think I'm handy. So I'm like,

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, after shut it off real quick. Because I

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>grew up building stuff with my dad all the time,

0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 1>we built dex we built sheds. I've done it all.

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>And so I was like, all right, well, challenge accepted.

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna show you that I am. So I went

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>up the necessary tools, got the lumber, and I'm building

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>it myself. And she and she even asked me like

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I was putting space in between the four boards. She's like,

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>how do you know how to do that? I was like,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>because I know how to do this. You look like

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a total pro. You have that triangle metal thing and

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>you have a pencil out and you're like, well, producer

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Amy texted me and she goes, let's talk about the

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that your husband's wearing a tool belt, but it

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>looks like nothing's actually in the tool belt walking around

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 1>with an empty toolbottle. Which is really funny that you

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>guys went on date night. You were working on it,

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you went on date night, and then all of a sudden,

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like I was like, is he kneeling stuff together?

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>At midnight? Yeah? I felt like we're going to come

0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 1>home after like a really nice, nice date night and

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 1>we're going to cuddle him, bead and have a little

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>like into mistech. No, No, he went back out to

0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the dollhouse to start. Yeah. I was like, not the

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 1>way that I wanted to end the night. But it's

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 1>just she, I mean, she lit a fire under me

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:13.679
<v Speaker 1>and on now, all I want to do is just

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 1>get that done and show her improved to her like

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that I am handy and I know how to do

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.320

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 1>and as maybe hokey as it sounds, I was carrying

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>some more lumber into the backyard and I just had

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>a moment where I felt extremely grateful and kind of

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>reflected on the past couple of years, what we've been through,

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 1>where we've been. I was like, how awesome is this

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.679
<v Speaker 1>that I'm in the place I am getting to build

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>my daughter like this dollhouse, and because I'm pregnant in

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the house that we share together as a family. It

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>just I had a moment yesterday. I wanted to share

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>it with Jannah and I meant to yesterday but we

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 1>got busy. But but yeah, I felt that I was like,

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 1>this is the best feeling ever, Like, if there's any

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of healthy behavior like this is it. That's really sweet?

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>It was cool, that's cool. I'm sorry if everything is

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 1>that during this podcast and I think you and I

0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>think you're so great and you can write me honey

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just it's yeah, it's it's the healthy behavior

0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're You're just I'm really proud of you. I'm

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>excited to see the Stallhouse come together. So I'm really

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 1>excited about this thing that I just learned about. It's

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>called legacy Box. I have so many photos that are

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean albums and albums which I miss honestly today

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.159
<v Speaker 1>in this day and age, but you know, from childhood,

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>my parents have so many pictures in their garage and

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>on all these books and they're just kind of sitting

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 1>there and I never do you ever get to see yours.

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're in a they're just in a box.

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's taking up space, um first and foremost, but

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.119
<v Speaker 1>then also I kind of want to be able to

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 1>have it all in one thing. So that's why I'm

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 1>really excited about legacy box because all you have to

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>do is send your legacy box filled with old home

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.280
<v Speaker 1>movies and pictures and they'll they'll do the rest. So

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 1>they put your moments on thumb drive, digital download or DVD.

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Legacy boxes the world's largest, most trusted digitizer of home

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>movies and photos. I think we should do that, don't

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you think? Yeah? I did this over the summer. Took

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a photo album and it took me hours because you scan,

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd like four times. Yeah, but then you have to

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 1>go in and you have to like split up the

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 1>different things because it copies them always one big collage,

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want him. It was, it was. It

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>took me forever. I wish i'd use lely Se Box

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:21.360
<v Speaker 1>from now on. I'm going it's hard to legacy box.

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I wonder does hit. I wonder if they'll take roles

0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of film because I opened my college drunk the other

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 1>day and I have undeveloped undeveloped in there, and I

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>have no idea where to take it. I'm sure they

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>will or what's on there. I have old cassettes of

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:38.959
<v Speaker 1>me and my friends messing aroundhen I was a kid,

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>when I was like seven years old. I'd want that

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>kept forever. I have like old CDs that I remember

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I burned for, like you know, the old like high

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>school boyfriends stakes. Yeah, seven o'clock. I think everyone here

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.159

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>narcissist is, right, And how many do we have in

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.920

<v Speaker 1>first off, tell us in our listeners, what is the

0:21:55.160 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 1>true definition of a narcissist. A narcissist truly someone with

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a personality disorder. Um. In my book, there there are

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 1>a characteristics that psychologist psychiatrists have said that a person

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>with narcissistic personality disorder has You have that? I can?

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I can. I'm going to lift them up. And my

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>husband applies to any of these boxes as are checked.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, people say everyone knows the narcissists in his

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>or her life. Do you think so, how many? How

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.159
<v Speaker 1>many of those they come to realize that the narcissist

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is looking back at them in the mirror. None? None,

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's no self awareness with the narcissists. Absolutely not. Yeah,

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:47.639
<v Speaker 1>that's very true. Okay, so can you just give me

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to the point so I can we can those down

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, here we go. I'll give you all of them. Okay.

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>The first one is has the grandiose sense of self important.

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>For example, they accept rate their achievements and their talents.

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 1>They expect to be recognized as superior without any commensurate achievements.

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, Number two is preoccupied with fantash fantasies of

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>unlimited success, power, brilliant, beauty, or love. Number three believe

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that he or she is special and unique and should

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 1>only be surrounded or associate with other special or high

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 1>status people. Okay, next one requires excessive ever sorry are

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you okay? I love it? And it has a very

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 1>strong sense of entitlement unreasonable expectations of from people. Um.

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>The next one is exploitative of others, so basically they

0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of other people to serve themselves. Um. The

0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>big one is the huge I have not heard of

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 1>or met a narcissist that has empathy. A narcissist lacks empathy.

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.120
<v Speaker 1>They do not look at the feelings or needs of others. Um.

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>And they're two more is often envious of others or

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 1>belief that others are envious of him or her. And

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 1>then the last one is regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 1>or attitudes, hatty behaviors, haughty like um, yeah, potty potty

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:36.159
<v Speaker 1>h A crap? Check that one off from me? Shoot,

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that X is accent? That's okay, okay. Have you ever

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:45.200
<v Speaker 1>actually met someone that has all of these? My ex

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 1>has eight seven of the eight. How long were you

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 1>with your ax? Way too long? Sixteen years? How did

0:24:53.359 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you survive seriously seriously. Um, lots of counseling. Um. I

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>eventually lived upstairs. I talk about all of this in

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 1>my book That pub Ugly Love. Eventually lived upstairs and

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.919
<v Speaker 1>even moved from the guest room into my sunsroom because

0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:12.879
<v Speaker 1>he would not come in there and scream at me

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and yell at me. Um, if my little boy was around,

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 1>How did you break away? Because isn't it almost impossible

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to get away from a narcissist? Don't they what's the

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>word they play with your brain? The gaslight you? It's

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:34.560
<v Speaker 1>all gaslighting. They yes, they gaslight you, and they eventually

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>isolate you from friends, family, and they tell you that

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>make you think you're so crazy that you know, he

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 1>would say things like, Laura, you're I'm the only one

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>who could ever love you. If you ever leave me,

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>good luck. You can't compete with all these other women

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas. No one will love you. You You know, you

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>better stick with me. You start to believe that, But

0:25:54.000 --> 0:25:58.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, Um, how did I leave? Through therapy and

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 1>realizing leaving wouldn't be any worse than what I was

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 1>going through? Did you probably is probably so much? Oh? Yeah,

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm the happiest I've ever been. Did you grow up

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 1>with a narcissistic parent. Is that that is a great question. Yes,

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>that that typically all the women. I have a Facebook

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>group it's called Victorious Voices, and it's mostly women. We

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 1>have a couple of guys that are members, but almost

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone has someone in their family that is a narcissist,

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and that becomes your default because it's that conditional, almost

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 1>unattainable love and you never really get that from that

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>parent or grandparents, so you try to sign that in

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>your next significant relationship, which is often a partner. What

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 1>is your best advice to deal with family members who

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 1>are full blown narcissists. Stay away as much as you can,

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and when you are in their presence, don't expect anything

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>from them. Um. It helps me to learn to anticipate

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 1>what mine was a parent, what this parent would say

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to me. Even in the last two years. I would think, Oh,

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.479
<v Speaker 1>she's going to criticize how I am setting the table

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 1>or how I'm raising my son. And I would count

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>like one to three, and then there it would be

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>so prepare myself and mostly, Wow, Michael, do you know

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 1>anyone that's a true narcissist like this that has all

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:26.959
<v Speaker 1>those eight points? Because I'm not, and I don't know

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:30.199
<v Speaker 1>there are things that I can say, oh maybe this

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:32.159
<v Speaker 1>one point or this one, but I don't know anyone

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that actually has all. Well that's all I was gonna

0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 1>ask Laura, after how many of these kind of going

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>down the checklist does someone have to have check off,

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, three out of the eight to be really

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 1>considered a true narcissist or is there do you have

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>any kind of system around that? Um there, it's five

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>of the eight. That's what psychologists and psychiatrists have determined,

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and those eight characteristics are listed in there. It's called

0:27:56.600 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a diagnostic in statistical Manual of personality or um psychiatric disorder.

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 1>So it is truly an illness. And you know they

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.680
<v Speaker 1>don't change. These people don't change. So you know it's

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to get out or stay away or laurens that or

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 1>very very thick skin. You really don't think there's any

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 1>hope for a narcissist at all, even if they were

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to go through, because really they just don't. I'm getting

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 1>shaking their heads in the right, Okay, But but I

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:29.880
<v Speaker 1>mean for Mike, I mean you could have you were

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 1>a strong manipulator, and you've now been able to kind

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>of see and change that. Yeah, But but I also

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>had the capability of empathy, and I didn't think of

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>myself better than other people, and I'm still grounded human beings.

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 1>So yes, I had negative traits of things like being

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 1>manipulating to hide my secrets or flaws or whatever, but

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I had other characteristics that completely go against what a narcissistem.

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have the checklist to diagnose him with a

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>personality disorder. Personality disorders are almost untreatable, so they're just

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:13.040
<v Speaker 1>screwed pretty much with people around them. But that's sad though,

0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that's sad that someone you can't get through people like that. Well,

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>we all know people that it's hard to get through

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to them, right, But I think, I mean, over time,

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>can't you if if there was like an intervention to

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>be like, look, ten out of ten people in this room,

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that you have all these traits and you

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>really need to look at yourself. Like even that one worked.

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like if you have like an old, senile grandparent

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 1>or something like, you just kind of accept it, right,

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:39.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's kind of to the degree of that

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>like use an old person not necessarily, but I'm disorders.

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that's an example of you just accepting

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 1>how they are, so like, oh, this is my grandfather,

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 1>this is my grandmother, she's this way, that's just her

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and you accept it. And so dealing with people with this,

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's kind of the same thing once

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you address it and you acknowledge it, like you know

0:29:57.640 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 1>what you are, what you are called, you know, spade

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to space, even move on, right. I don't think it's hopeless,

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.080
<v Speaker 1>but I will tell you of all the research I've done.

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:11.800
<v Speaker 1>There is a psychologistic guy named Lundy Bancroft, and he

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 1>has counseled over two thousands abusive, emotionally and verbally abusive men,

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and he says he's only seen a just a handful

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 1>like two or three change and it took years and years.

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 1>He must be exhausted. Do you see it more in

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:29.920
<v Speaker 1>this day and age or is it more because I

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I honestly see some of these traits in someone in

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>my family. So what do you see it as as

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 1>older people? Or is it? Does it? Does age really

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 1>make a difference? Age doesn't make a difference. You know,

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:43.800
<v Speaker 1>there's some a lot of people joke O with's some

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:47.640
<v Speaker 1>millennials and they're very, um, narcissistic. But then you look

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 1>at those millennials that care so much about the environment

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's impact on all of us and others, and

0:30:55.400 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>so you know, I, you know, I don't know, but

0:30:56.960 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>age does not make a difference. Um. You know, I

0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 1>still have a narcissistic parents and in her seventies. And

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:07.200
<v Speaker 1>then I have you know, my ex who's in his fifties.

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>So and do you tell her she's a narcissist? Um? Well, yes,

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>there's a chapter in the book about it. And we

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 1>do not speak right now. I'm sorry, it's nope, it's

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a free and feeling. It's kind of like when I

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>left my x now ex husband. So so what do

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you do now to like move forward in your new relationships?

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Like what are you just like if you see one

0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of these traits, you're you run for the hills or

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>are you? Um? There are some traits to look for

0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 1>when you're dating. And I've learned what those are, and

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>yessess um there are three or four that I'll tell

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>you they're the most important. One is narcissist are very

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>very charming, Like on the first day they will roll

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>out the red carpet for you, flowers, you know, the

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 1>nicest restaurant you know, blah blah blah. Another one is that,

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and they like to move very very fast. They want

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to hook you. And if you don't see that any

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:14.880
<v Speaker 1>perceived you know, default in their character or any you know,

0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 1>just like lack of integrity, they want to move very

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>very fast, whether it's intimacy or you know, telling you

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I love you. I had a guy tell me you

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 1>loved me on the second day. I'm like, really, I've

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:27.200
<v Speaker 1>known you for like about an hour and a half.

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>How they know the second I don't know what? Um?

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 1>And then another one is and you will notice that

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>they eventually begin to gas light you, like they'll subtly say,

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:45.240
<v Speaker 1>they'll say something and then you might question them about it,

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Like they'll say, oh, um, your hair looks okay, and

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 1>then you'll ask them about it later. Will you you

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 1>don't like my hair this way? No, I never said

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. I've never miss your Starting to make

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you feel crazy, Yes, you start to feel crazy, But

0:33:00.840 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 1>those are probably the top three or sounds like a lifetime.

0:33:05.160 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I wish I would have met you three years ago,

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and I hope not. I'm just I'm just ignoring all

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:15.719
<v Speaker 1>of these comments. No, no, I will say those like

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the charming and moving fast that that just plays onto

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 1>our love addiction. So I you know, yes, I'm there,

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm a love addict to Why do you think? Where

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 1>do you think the term narcis like narcissist or narcissism

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>is thrown around as easily as it is, like, you know,

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 1>people get an arguments, you're such a narcissist this or that.

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Why why do you think that is? I think, um,

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the word is more commonplace these days, and not to

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>get policial, but you know what I'm talking about, right, Um,

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:52.800
<v Speaker 1>So people tend to just use that word not knowing

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>it exactly what a true narcissist is, someone who's maybe

0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>ultra confident. They say, oh, you're such a narcissist. You know,

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you can be very confident, but not be a narcissism

0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 1>for sure. That makes sense. You look at what you do?

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Three do you know you're you have this awesome podcast

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>and you're confident what you do, but you're not a narcissist.

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:17.080
<v Speaker 1>You have empathy? Yeah? I mean I I don't I

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>look at this list and I don't feel like I'm

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 1>an narcissist you because I think it's so funny that

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:27.399
<v Speaker 1>you're like, hold on, do I check any of these

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:32.160
<v Speaker 1>vis I think sometimes we can mean, but some of

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:36.839
<v Speaker 1>these I don't think you don't check, Laura mat Now,

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're in your life, you know, post your divorce

0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 1>with your ex husband and everything, do you still kind

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of deal with a lot of trauma from that relationship

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to move forward in your personal life with with

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 1>other you know, men or dating. That's a great question. Um,

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:56.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't initially with men, I would date. I would Um.

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I found myself, especially right after the divorce, being attracted

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to narcissis, but that too reset my default, if you will. Um,

0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And lately I've kind of gone the other way. I'll

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 1>go out with guys i'm they've even attracted to and

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I end up on a date going okay, just really stuck.

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So I've got to get happy medium. So yes, in

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the beginning, I did. And it's uncomfortable on the beginning,

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't that? Yes, what a great journey though, I mean,

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you went through something that sucks, but you're you have

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:27.920
<v Speaker 1>like the silver lining. You have a you have a

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:31.280
<v Speaker 1>book that's called Ugly Love a survivor story of narcissistic abuse.

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:33.799
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's really great because now you're you're

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:36.720
<v Speaker 1>able to give back in the struggles that you faced.

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I have. I spoke with a woman yesterday and she's

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>been um with a narcissist for almost twenty years and

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 1>she's ready to go, and so we talked about how

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to exit that relationship without losing her money and her

0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 1>kids and her home and it's all the things that

0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:58.319
<v Speaker 1>are important to her. And she texted me last night

0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 1>because I just feel like I can conquer the world now.

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:02.719
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, Okay, that's why I wrote the book.

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Right there, I'm done. That was that was your purpose theory,

0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that's my purpose? So where can where can my listeners

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 1>find everything about you? Um? I have a website called

0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:14.879
<v Speaker 1>the Ugly Love Book dot com and then you can

0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:17.600
<v Speaker 1>find my book on Amazon or Barns and Nobles dot

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.480
<v Speaker 1>com that if you want to friend me on Facebook

0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:22.839
<v Speaker 1>at Flora Koreansa with a d H, and I can

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>lead you to my page. For those of us that

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 1>have been through this journey or are going through it,

0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I love it. Well, thank you so much for sharing

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 1>your insight and I'm going to start exing some people

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 1>out of my life, right that garden weed, that garden baby,

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much, you do it all right, Thanks

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 1>so much, guys, Bye bye bye. I honestly feel like

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the narcissistic people I have in my life they are older,

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.839
<v Speaker 1>are all older people in my family. I feel the

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 1>same way you do. Absolutely. Yeah, I don't even know.

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I can honestly say I don't think I have a

0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 1>true narcissist that I know, or am I family. I

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 1>think again, for me, maybe a grandparent or something. It's

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of stuck in their ways. That's how That's

0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 1>how I look at it, because there is they don't

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.319
<v Speaker 1>check all these boxes. There are some that they're definitely not.

0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>So I think that in that sense, it's a generational thing. Possibly.

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think like your question to her about does

0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it does age affect whether someone's a narcissist or they're

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:25.279
<v Speaker 1>more narcissistant and older generation, I think just there's more

0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the older generation, there's more people stuck in their ways. Yeah.

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I actually got into radio from a play on this

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>word because I wrote a story in fourth grade called Sussecran,

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:42.720
<v Speaker 1>which is narcissist backwards, and scran was the opposite character

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 1>of Narcissus. Narcisi yes fourth grade and fourth grade, and

0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:52.839
<v Speaker 1>he was secure and unsure of himself and wouldn't look

0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in the way to see his reflection, and so it

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.760
<v Speaker 1>was a complete opposite. And I won the Young Author

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Award for in Michigan and I got to read the

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:07.440
<v Speaker 1>story live on air for the AM station in Detroit.

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:10.680
<v Speaker 1>And when I walked into the studio, I was like,

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I love this. Yes, that's really cool.

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:19.920

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:28.400

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:04.520
<v Speaker 1>a family morning show. Because the truth is, I like,

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 1>stop drinking. That's great. Stop drinking. Yeah, stop drinking wine

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the one o'clock every night, every night. Don't tell me

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that I have to every single night. Obviously I can't

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:18.879
<v Speaker 1>right now, but I'm not. I can't. That's I said

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to the same thing. And then I was like thirty

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>pounds over the top and I stopped. I got it out.

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 1>It's about even for the skin. That helps your skin

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>because it dehydrates you all that stuff and you read

0:40:30.800 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 1>all those beat hydrates. You read the beauty blogs and

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you're like, really, eight glasses of water, no booze, no bread.

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Who lives like that? Because I'm a pasta wine drinking

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:46.560
<v Speaker 1>So what are you drinking? It's no fun. I'm just

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:51.239
<v Speaker 1>about friends friends. I'm the I'm the friend with the

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 1>lime and the silts of water. Now, no, but what

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 1>about that? But it in the last say it was

0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:59.479
<v Speaker 1>a nightmare the first couple of weeks. But I lost

0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:02.600
<v Speaker 1>him pounds the first couple of weeks. Yes, because it's

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:05.279
<v Speaker 1>just you're just swollen, You're just in flaming. See, I

0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 1>disagree with you because because my trainer always says, I

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 1>disagreed with myself Okay, maybe I'm just but I will

0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 1>say this, I feel like my body works differently because

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 1>my trainer says, stop the wine and you'll get the blow.

0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:18.440
<v Speaker 1>When I stop the wine, I get more bloated. And

0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 1>then when I drink my wine, my stom is flatter.

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:26.399
<v Speaker 1>He's like, my stomach is flatter in the morning when

0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I wake up when I have wine. I mean, honestly,

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I can't now, but that's the that's the mom and

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the wife and you, that's the married with kids in

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 1>you girls. It's how I survived. So I just I

0:41:35.200 --> 0:41:37.759
<v Speaker 1>don't know so much prettier with the martini. If I

0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 1>have to get more botox so that I can continue,

0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:42.680
<v Speaker 1>then that's what I'm gonna do. I'll get some more hydration. Listen.

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:44.959
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not going to be the person who never

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 1>has a drink of champagne at the wedding, you know.

0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:48.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be that person. But I had

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:51.719
<v Speaker 1>to do something and I didn't want to get like

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of fillers in my face, you know, And

0:41:54.200 --> 0:42:00.439
<v Speaker 1>it was starting to show on my birthdays on Sunday. Well,

0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:07.600
<v Speaker 1>why no way, no stop. Yeah wait, I mean I'm

0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:11.719
<v Speaker 1>still not drinking wine, but I gonna do the man,

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:14.239

0:42:19.080 --> 0:42:20.520

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.960
<v Speaker 1>answer for you, like I'm half Dominican. Yeah I'm not.

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm just light skin. I'm black. I'm all black. But

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:30.479

0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it really is the win great skin. Maybe that's it.

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.240
<v Speaker 1>But no, seriously, I just took a break from wine.

0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really do anything else, not really a tequila person.

0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I just had my glass of wine every night, and

0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I lost weight, my skin cleared up. I use a

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>thousand creams and serums. I'm just, you know, fighting the clock.

0:42:45.880 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Like they're just taking care of yourself. I'm just taking

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>care of myself, taking an aggressive approach, taking care of yourself.

0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Your kids are he summed it up. Stop sucking up

0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to her right now, because I know you want something

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:58.000
<v Speaker 1>from her right now, and we'll get to that later.

0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:02.320
<v Speaker 1>What is your work out? Um? I don't kill myself

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in real time. UM. I just do something every day. Um,

0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:08.319
<v Speaker 1>and then on the weekends. I don't really do that much.

0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:11.000
<v Speaker 1>But I like, you know, I do cardio, you know,

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:13.399
<v Speaker 1>I just go for it. That high intensity really works.

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Twenty minutes, that's usually all I have, and then I'll

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 1>just do a circuit. You know, you don't have to

0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:20.200
<v Speaker 1>pay someone. I've had really great trainers, but I got

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to the point with traveling and shooting and working and

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:25.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy schedules from the Empire right now, I'm Empire right now. Yeah,

0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and I shoot out of town in Chicago, my families

0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:28.960
<v Speaker 1>here in l As I'm flying home all the time.

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I had to create like a twenty minute workout for myself.

0:43:31.760 --> 0:43:33.319
<v Speaker 1>And basically, you can get out of bed in your

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:36.279
<v Speaker 1>pajamas and you can either go for a run if

0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what you like outdoors, or if you're in your pajamas,

0:43:38.960 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 1>you get laid down on the side of the bed.

0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:42.759
<v Speaker 1>You do tin setups, tin push ups, tin squats, ten

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:45.239
<v Speaker 1>jumping jacks, and you do that five times with your

0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:51.040
<v Speaker 1>glass of wine in hand. Well, you have breakfast and

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:55.839
<v Speaker 1>then amosa. But that's great though. Yeah, I mean, and

0:43:55.880 --> 0:44:01.239
<v Speaker 1>you have two kids, yes, ages ten eleven and thirteen.

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes boys girls. Nicholas um is going to be twelve

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:13.439
<v Speaker 1>on Halloween birthday and Sophie's my thirteen year old eighth grader. Yeah,

0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 1>so how's the thirteen year old girl? Because we have

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a three year old girl right now and then a

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.480
<v Speaker 1>boy on the way. So I know you're still in

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the wonderful stage. It's wonderful. Um, she's okay, wonderful is

0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a strong word, but it is more times wonderful. Yeah,

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:33.399
<v Speaker 1>it's more times wonderful. But she's been super challenging lately. Yeah,

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 1>but then she has that one second of sweetness yet.

0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:40.399
<v Speaker 1>But you knows, I just tried to do everything right.

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I like, Okay, you gotta have manners, you gotta be

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:44.040
<v Speaker 1>a good person, you gotta know how to make your bed.

0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:46.520
<v Speaker 1>You gotta eat spaghetti with with not your fingers, you

0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:48.759
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Just you have to say your grace.

0:44:49.040 --> 0:44:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I just tried to give them everything, and then around

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>nine eleven you start to see what sticks. So like

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really clearly do well in the bed making

0:44:59.520 --> 0:45:03.120
<v Speaker 1>discipline in part, but Mike has been more of the disciplinary.

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, he's kind of like regiment and he's really

0:45:05.960 --> 0:45:08.120
<v Speaker 1>good with teaching them time management because you know, seventh

0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and eighth grade these days, it's serious, like you have

0:45:10.520 --> 0:45:12.600
<v Speaker 1>to monitor the phone time. This is my son's a

0:45:12.640 --> 0:45:16.920
<v Speaker 1>little athlete, the athletics, and so right now at thirteen,

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:20.000
<v Speaker 1>my daughter is a really sweet, kind person who just

0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:25.680
<v Speaker 1>likes blue nail polish and blue hair extensions. First boy,

0:45:26.520 --> 0:45:29.919
<v Speaker 1>thirteen and a half years. You've known each other about

0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:34.120
<v Speaker 1>believe that's like a hundred years. In Hollywood, people ask

0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:38.440
<v Speaker 1>us to speak on marriage panels. Yeah, so what's your secret?

0:45:38.560 --> 0:45:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, you know, It's like, married is one thing.

0:45:41.360 --> 0:45:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I was just saying this, and married with kids is

0:45:43.040 --> 0:45:46.120
<v Speaker 1>another thing. It's a really hard job. And anyone who

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>tells you different has like eight thousand nannies. Okay, I

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>have one, amazing one. And but in terms of your relationship,

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.319
<v Speaker 1>some of the old fashioned stuff, you know what I mean,

0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Like when you find your husband, you gotta make him

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 1>your boyfriend. You know, youve got to still be boyfriend

0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:04.279
<v Speaker 1>and girlfriend. That includes date night. Let's that includes you know,

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:07.600
<v Speaker 1>caring about what you wear and also being nice. Like

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:09.480
<v Speaker 1>we have every right in the world to be grumpy.

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So much stuff is coming at us and we're developing

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:14.239
<v Speaker 1>all these skills. Like you, I'm sure you can catch

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 1>your baby like without even thinking, and you're gonna have

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:19.319
<v Speaker 1>to You're gonna have like these crazy octopus arms. Your

0:46:19.320 --> 0:46:21.520
<v Speaker 1>brain's gonna explode. You're gonna know the weather three days

0:46:21.520 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>in advance, and then do you know what I mean?

0:46:23.960 --> 0:46:25.920
<v Speaker 1>And now like somebody drops something in you're in traffic,

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 1>like you might have a meltdown, and you're gonna call

0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:30.480
<v Speaker 1>your husband, you know, in the four oh five. It

0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 1>just it's unfair and he's not going to understand. But

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that's just the reality. And so like the husband has

0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:39.520
<v Speaker 1>to work too, and has he ever given you a

0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:42.919
<v Speaker 1>honey to do list? What's the honey to do list? Well,

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:44.920
<v Speaker 1>you know how we give men honey to do list?

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That was my other thing, like trying not to give

0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to my lists. But but has the husband would you

0:46:50.239 --> 0:46:52.640
<v Speaker 1>even think that that's something that a husband should do

0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:54.719
<v Speaker 1>for the wife, that the wife should have a honey

0:46:54.760 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to do list? Well, you know what, I would love that,

0:46:58.880 --> 0:47:02.879
<v Speaker 1>What I would love that because listen, I would love

0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it because what happens in a marriage is that you

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:08.400
<v Speaker 1>break down communication. He has all of a sudden, he

0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:11.840
<v Speaker 1>has hearing problems, you know, he you know, but we

0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>do everything. Yeah, but no, I like I could I

0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:16.439
<v Speaker 1>could just walk in the room of my husband would

0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:17.919
<v Speaker 1>know I'm there and now I'm like at a party

0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and I say, boris honey, sweetie, babe, babe. But like

0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>so I think that if my husband woke up and said,

0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:28.799
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I would love. I would love it

0:47:28.840 --> 0:47:32.400
<v Speaker 1>if you made the lasagna you made, and love it

0:47:32.480 --> 0:47:36.239
<v Speaker 1>if you wear that black dress because I love it.

0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 1>That's not a honey, I'm talking And I wouldn't love

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:43.200
<v Speaker 1>to all that stuff because I'm like, you don't like

0:47:43.280 --> 0:47:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the grace weapons, right? What I mean? No, I mean

0:47:45.520 --> 0:47:47.319
<v Speaker 1>like a honey to do less, as in, like you know,

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:52.480
<v Speaker 1>tasks which we already do without even them even thinking

0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. Will give me an example, like give me like,

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:58.359
<v Speaker 1>like to make the appointment for the kids dentist. Um,

0:47:58.600 --> 0:48:01.719
<v Speaker 1>we've already done that. We've already been there, done that up,

0:48:01.800 --> 0:48:03.919
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta sign up for that. Married with kids,

0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 1>you both got to do that. I'll call the dentists

0:48:06.440 --> 0:48:08.319
<v Speaker 1>and make the appointment, but you gotta take them. Do

0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? We went together. There's just

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:13.760
<v Speaker 1>no way you get We gotta work together. Yeah. Absolutely.

0:48:13.800 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 1>And the other thing is that you know those self

0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:18.759
<v Speaker 1>books they talk about you gotta be happy inside yourself. Yes,

0:48:19.120 --> 0:48:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you can't lean on another person happiness. It's like, well,

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm stuck with this person. This person better make me happy,

0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:28.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I really think. But after thirteen years, guys,

0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:33.719
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that you gotta work on yourself. Yes,

0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:35.759

0:48:35.800 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 1>have to. There's no way you can't survive. Like, that's

0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:40.760
<v Speaker 1>good a cookbook title, bring You're Happy to the table.

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's cute. I feel it coming. And I cooked too,

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:46.799

0:48:53.680 --> 0:48:57.040
<v Speaker 1>can mash them potatoes. I can't make mashed potatoes. Figure

0:48:57.080 --> 0:49:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it out. Let's fire out to do it. So I'm

0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:02.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell I'm kind of going to burst your bubble

0:49:02.480 --> 0:49:05.120
<v Speaker 1>bab because she knows about what you put on your head.

0:49:06.120 --> 0:49:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I saw it. So we share the same publicist. And

0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:16.120
<v Speaker 1>so when my husband was making a dollhouse jendorable dead situation,

0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Nicole has come out with a new product. And so

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:20.839
<v Speaker 1>what Michael did is I brought this is if those

0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of you that can't see obviously, it is the cutoffs.

0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I didn't realize that's what that

0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:28.640
<v Speaker 1>was in the picture. Yeah, it's the cut off sleeve

0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of Michael's T shirt. So he puts this on his

0:49:32.000 --> 0:49:34.799
<v Speaker 1>head so the sweat won't go in his eyes when

0:49:34.800 --> 0:49:39.120
<v Speaker 1>he was working. I need something on my head. So

0:49:39.320 --> 0:49:40.960
<v Speaker 1>like when he was looking at your product, he's like,

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I needed this. I could actually use this, Like we

0:49:44.400 --> 0:49:46.680
<v Speaker 1>are bringing that then to show her that you love

0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that you showed it to me. Because you're not ready

0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:52.160
<v Speaker 1>for this bit of detail information, please give it to us.

0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Like six years ago, I sat down in my kitchen

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and I cut up my husband's dry fit T shirt

0:49:57.080 --> 0:49:59.719
<v Speaker 1>to make my first prototype for my product that I'm

0:49:59.760 --> 0:50:03.680
<v Speaker 1>now giving to your husband. He must have felt intuitively

0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.320
<v Speaker 1>that that was the secret and this was you a

0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:08.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ago. That's exactly what my husband was

0:50:08.880 --> 0:50:11.319
<v Speaker 1>not happy. That's amazing. Yeah, I made it, and you know,

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm just a mom. I was actress. I

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:15.560
<v Speaker 1>went to with you, but I studied theater, I got

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:17.040
<v Speaker 1>a b f A. You know, I didn't know anything

0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:20.080
<v Speaker 1>about business, and I just you know, hit the ground

0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:23.800
<v Speaker 1>running and ask questions and corporate let's see it. I'm like,

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:25.960
<v Speaker 1>let's honey, I want you try it on. So I

0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:34.440
<v Speaker 1>saw that it was gray workout too, Yes, yes, And

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I brought you, ladies a couple you designed this because

0:50:37.280 --> 0:50:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and this was I have two designs. One is the

0:50:39.200 --> 0:50:42.880
<v Speaker 1>tie and if you like them to like camo and sparkling,

0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna send you like a pretty package. But I

0:50:45.520 --> 0:50:48.160
<v Speaker 1>just brought what I had. You explained to the listeners

0:50:48.200 --> 0:50:50.400
<v Speaker 1>what they are. Okay, there are three layers sweatband that

0:50:50.440 --> 0:50:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I created to fit every type of head, every type

0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of hair, and it's just highly absorbent. Like there's a

0:50:55.480 --> 0:50:57.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of cute sweatbands out there, but the sweat just

0:50:57.640 --> 0:51:00.200
<v Speaker 1>dripped on your face. So I created a set band

0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:02.919
<v Speaker 1>that actually absorbs your sweat. And then I know people

0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:08.600
<v Speaker 1>who don't like the tie, look at him. I gotta

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:11.080
<v Speaker 1>get a picture later. This is my bandy for people

0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>who just want to wearn errands. My cheerleader customer wears this,

0:51:14.000 --> 0:51:16.560
<v Speaker 1>my mom's on the run. These are just cute little

0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Then Joe, this is gonna be worn

0:58:29.760 --> 0:58:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to raise some emails, I do. Um. Ashley says she

0:58:34.200 --> 0:58:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and her boyfriend just moved into a place together about

0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:37.600
<v Speaker 1>two months ago, and from the get go he was

0:58:37.640 --> 0:58:40.920
<v Speaker 1>referring to us as roommates. His reasoning is because I

0:58:41.040 --> 0:58:42.520
<v Speaker 1>never want to have sex anymore, and we never do

0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a couple of things. Now we're on different schedules, so

0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the time, so when he gets home

0:58:46.680 --> 0:58:48.440
<v Speaker 1>from work, I'm already in bad asleep. But a couple

0:58:48.480 --> 0:58:50.360
<v Speaker 1>of nights ago I did try to have sex with him.

0:58:50.880 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 1>It started with me getting him in the mood and

0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:55.320
<v Speaker 1>ended up with me rolling over crying because he said

0:58:55.360 --> 0:58:57.840
<v Speaker 1>he just wasn't into it. I met a loss right

0:58:57.880 --> 0:58:59.600
<v Speaker 1>now with what to do. Ever since that night, it's

0:58:59.600 --> 0:59:02.240
<v Speaker 1>been awkw intense between us. I'm embarrassed because I feel

0:59:02.280 --> 0:59:04.480
<v Speaker 1>like I don't do it for him anymore, and I'm

0:59:04.600 --> 0:59:06.760
<v Speaker 1>upset because it's like nothing I do is right or

0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:09.200
<v Speaker 1>good enough. He's always complaining about never having sex, but

0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:11.760
<v Speaker 1>when I try, he's not in the mood or he's

0:59:11.800 --> 0:59:15.000
<v Speaker 1>just not into it. Well, two things that I'm going

0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to take from that is him saying his we never

0:59:18.840 --> 0:59:20.760
<v Speaker 1>do a couple things, So callinghi roommates is very passive

0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:22.680
<v Speaker 1>aggressive of him to say that you should talk from

0:59:22.720 --> 0:59:26.680
<v Speaker 1>a better place. And it also sucks when you're the

0:59:26.760 --> 0:59:29.280
<v Speaker 1>one you are trying and then he's not. It's like, hey,

0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:31.520
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, Like I'm I'm actually trying to give

0:59:31.560 --> 0:59:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you what you said you wanted, but then you're not reciprocating.

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:37.160
<v Speaker 1>So I can understand how, but he might just be

0:59:37.520 --> 0:59:40.400
<v Speaker 1>shut off at this point. My guy's perspective, I'm not sure,

0:59:41.040 --> 0:59:43.600
<v Speaker 1>except that she's feeling a lot of rejection because the

0:59:43.640 --> 0:59:47.280
<v Speaker 1>rejection is not fun. But if he's giving her crap

0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:51.600
<v Speaker 1>about it, she's trying, so yeah, I mean, that's that's tough.

0:59:52.040 --> 0:59:54.760
<v Speaker 1>What what stinks is that they went into the new

0:59:54.800 --> 0:59:59.480
<v Speaker 1>place together starting off like that, came seeing that their roommates.

0:59:59.520 --> 1:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>So obviously this is something that was ongoing before that.

1:00:03.720 --> 1:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>And if he wasn't willing to stay in the relationship

1:00:06.960 --> 1:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and keep working on it, they wouldn't have got a

1:00:08.440 --> 1:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>place together even though this was an issue. So clearly

1:00:10.960 --> 1:00:13.120
<v Speaker 1>he still wants to be in it. They just have

1:00:13.200 --> 1:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. They have to put down their shields,

1:00:16.400 --> 1:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>put down their defense and just be like, look, you know.

1:00:19.520 --> 1:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>She can go to him like I'm sorry it's been

1:00:21.400 --> 1:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>this way, explain what's going on with her. But she's trying. Yes,

1:00:25.880 --> 1:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I know they should talk about it, but she is.

1:00:27.680 --> 1:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not like she's like yeah, but again, it's not.

1:00:31.680 --> 1:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>It's the whole thing I've said on here numerous times.

1:00:33.480 --> 1:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Were not light switches, right, So if he has feelings,

1:00:35.960 --> 1:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe these pent up feelings of resentment or whatever, torture

1:00:38.800 --> 1:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>because she hasn't want to be sexual in a while,

1:00:41.160 --> 1:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden she tries one time.

1:00:43.640 --> 1:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>He's like, he still has resentment though he's like, no,

1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't want to because he's got feelings

1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that he hasn't expressed to her and let out. So

1:00:51.160 --> 1:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>he's still angry or bit or whatever it might be.

1:00:53.320 --> 1:00:55.439
<v Speaker 1>And they just moved in together a couple of months

1:00:55.480 --> 1:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>ago that it sounds like they need to talk about more,

1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>like there's there's a different issue. Maybe, yeah, definitely, maybe

1:01:03.400 --> 1:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>he's having second thoughts that they moved in together. You

1:01:06.800 --> 1:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>might be freaking him out. Yeah, I mean that's a

1:01:09.600 --> 1:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>big step. I feel like guys can definitely freak out. Absolutely.

1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Did we get any paid forwards? As a matter of fact,

1:01:15.240 --> 1:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>we did. Terry emailed us a story an older handicap

1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>man was in front of her the grocery store and

1:01:22.160 --> 1:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>he was fifty two dollars short on his bill. The

1:01:25.680 --> 1:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>groceries were all bagged and he was a mess. He

1:01:27.920 --> 1:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what to do, so I yelled, I'll pay it.

1:01:31.840 --> 1:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I paid. I can't really afford to do that, but

1:01:34.120 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I just said i'd pay it. He said thank you,

1:01:36.320 --> 1:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and I said Mary Christmas. I have no idea why

1:01:38.240 --> 1:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I said that. I love her. The clerk said, that

1:01:42.600 --> 1:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>was so nice of you. All I could say was

1:01:44.160 --> 1:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I was a single mother of three and in my

1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>very worst of time, somebody helped me. And I hope

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he enjoyed his food. Sweet that Terry. Did you guys,

1:01:54.600 --> 1:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>did you guys pay it forward? This week? We fed meters.

1:01:57.560 --> 1:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Yeah, that's awesome some yeah, you know,

1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's one of those things. It's funny we kind

1:02:03.440 --> 1:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>of sent that challenge out in Janna and I were

1:02:05.920 --> 1:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to We're almost trying to look for opportunities, like, oh,

1:02:08.480 --> 1:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>we gotta do something. That dinner we went to dinner

1:02:10.920 --> 1:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>date night, we went to go see Walker Hayes and

1:02:12.480 --> 1:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>we had dinner before and he's like, hey, let's pay

1:02:14.080 --> 1:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>for you know, they must be celebrating some let's pay

1:02:16.800 --> 1:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>for their meal. And I'm like, like it was just

1:02:18.680 --> 1:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>we were trying to figure it out about it to

1:02:20.080 --> 1:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>be for Yeah, we're trying. We realized we're trying too hard,

1:02:23.600 --> 1:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's like the whole pay for things like it

1:02:26.080 --> 1:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>just comes to you. Situation comes to you, and if

1:02:29.440 --> 1:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't in a week, that's fine. It's okay, but

1:02:32.160 --> 1:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, situation day walking to the store to pick

1:02:34.920 --> 1:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>up some things and walked by a couple of meters

1:02:37.200 --> 1:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and we saw someone red and saw some fewer running out.

1:02:40.040 --> 1:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's just feed these. But I felt stressed out though,

1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:45.439
<v Speaker 1>because we didn't have like the opportunities didn't really come.

1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, oh, we have to have We

1:02:47.760 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>can't say that we didn't do anything, you know, but

1:02:49.960 --> 1:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>it becomes Yeah, it's like the opportunity has to be there,

1:02:53.400 --> 1:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>so you have to be aware of those opportunities when

1:02:55.200 --> 1:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>they're there. Did you do anything, It's okay if you didn't. Yeah,

1:02:57.520 --> 1:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I did my huge you know, the contact always pay

1:03:00.720 --> 1:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>it forward with coffee, um, And I ordered a coffee

1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>maker for the staff here because you know, coffee is

1:03:07.320 --> 1:03:09.640
<v Speaker 1>my thing and everybody is always trying to get a

1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>cup of coffee here. And I was like, why don't

1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>we have a why don't we have coffee here? Good coffee?

1:03:14.320 --> 1:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>That's rights Instagram and she had a she said thank you,

1:03:17.360 --> 1:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh she did. Yeah, Oh that's okay. Um, And uh,

1:03:21.200 --> 1:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, just the usual trying to pay it forward

1:03:25.080 --> 1:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis, trying to make people happy, make

1:03:27.800 --> 1:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>their day, easier bringing bagels in all that stuff. Did

1:03:31.360 --> 1:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you pay for this week? For sure? But now this

1:03:34.680 --> 1:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>coming week will for sure? Last week I didn't. I

1:03:38.880 --> 1:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>don't go places or do things, so it's hard. It's

1:03:41.680 --> 1:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>hard if you don't, if you just go to work

1:03:43.080 --> 1:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>at home, it's hard to find the right opportunity. Absolutely,

1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I do so much for so many people on a

1:03:49.360 --> 1:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>regular basis. It's hard to slate just one. But you

1:03:52.000 --> 1:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>know something I've been doing a lot, Well, know something

1:03:54.240 --> 1:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing a lot of, actually is when I'm

1:03:56.800 --> 1:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>out Well, no grandiosity at its finest. No, No, I'm

1:04:04.560 --> 1:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>just I'm just better than everybody else. That's all. That's

1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>all it is. Surely you can understand. I was at

1:04:13.520 --> 1:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the mall the other day and the scroll working at

1:04:15.320 --> 1:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the clothing store Vans was struggling to move some product

1:04:21.000 --> 1:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>that was on the upper shelf. And I'm tall like

1:04:23.640 --> 1:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to think of myself as a reacher, so I put

1:04:26.400 --> 1:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>myself on the clock for longer than I had anticipated

1:04:29.280 --> 1:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and helped to move these things around. But it made

1:04:31.240 --> 1:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>me feel very good. I hope to think, I hope

1:04:33.080 --> 1:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>to think that her day was better because of that.

1:04:35.520 --> 1:04:37.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it was. It made her day easier. Yeah,

1:04:38.240 --> 1:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. You know one thing too, I was just

1:04:40.680 --> 1:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>thinking of it came to me when you're talking about

1:04:42.320 --> 1:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>something that lady was. I was at Walgreen's yesterday and

1:04:46.520 --> 1:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this one clerk there is super talkative. You know a

1:04:49.080 --> 1:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of times when you go to the stories, you

1:04:50.600 --> 1:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>just want to get in, get out, grab your stuff.

1:04:53.120 --> 1:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And I sat there like talk to him and conversed

1:04:56.200 --> 1:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>with him for longer than I maybe usually would, and

1:04:59.240 --> 1:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>he seemed very apreciative and shook my hand when I

1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>was leaving and stuff like that. But just Eastern telling

1:05:04.120 --> 1:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that like that could even be paid forward, Like even

1:05:06.160 --> 1:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>talk to somebody that's helping you were working somewhere that

1:05:09.440 --> 1:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>normally blow them off like I gotta go, I'm busy.

1:05:11.760 --> 1:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>You're right, Yes, you gave your time on right, which

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>is the most valuable thing you can give, speaking of

1:05:17.920 --> 1:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>all grains. When I was going to pick up the prescription,

1:05:20.440 --> 1:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>there was this older couple there. It was such a

1:05:23.240 --> 1:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>long line and I was waiting forever, and I was like,

1:05:25.880 --> 1:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe she should like let them go in front of me,

1:05:27.520 --> 1:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, no, maybe that could him a

1:05:31.760 --> 1:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>pay for it. Now I think of something else, like like,

1:05:35.120 --> 1:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to wait any longer, just like keeping

1:05:44.160 --> 1:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>it real. But I really truly intended to do something.

1:05:49.400 --> 1:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Your heart was in the right place. But I was like,

1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and she was so sweet. She was a little lunchback

1:05:54.480 --> 1:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>old lady. And I was like, I love that. That

1:05:56.400 --> 1:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that what was her name? I love that. Terry said
