0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.400

<v Speaker 2>The French advisory. Good mom's bad choices.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.279
<v Speaker 3>It is a beautiful day outside.

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Finally it's been raining. Yes, it's been raining non stop

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 2>in LA, but we need that rain.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 4>I actually like the rain, yeah, because it only happens

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 4>like six days out of this three hundred and sixty five.

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>But remember when it used to rain like all the

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>time in LA in the nineties, nearly two thousands, okay,

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 3>kind of believe it.

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I remember we had a shower storm once in two

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>thousand and four.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 3>I just always feel like it's the weak again when

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>it's raining, and then it's not the weekend because I'm

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 3>getting emails and.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I have to like do things and I have shit

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to do, Like, is.

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 4>The only place on earth that it sprinkles, and then

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 4>you hear people in the gas station like, oh no,

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 4>it's raining, John, I'm not coming in.

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 2>The office today.

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, you, guys, well, they can't drive either, retarded

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 3>people from LA It's like the people that the transplants.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Know how to do it. The locals might be the ones.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Because this is when I moved to Atlanta.

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, the first time it rained, I thought it was

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 4>going to be a tornado storm and it was just

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 4>regular rain, and I realized that what we get is

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 4>not rain at all.

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a light drizzle, it's never really raining. It was

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>raining a lot.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Girl, you haven't been to real rain unless you've lived

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 4>outside of California.

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, I guess, but it was a medium.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 2>It was medium. All I want to do when it's

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>raining is just like.

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 4>In my bed, Like I didn't go anywhere all day yesterday,

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 4>and then for like two hours, I was like, I

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 4>think I'm depressed.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>But then I realized maybe it's because.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 3>It was the weather and I hadn't washed my ass,

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>changed my clothes, went outside.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm I'm stressed. I'm depressed. And then

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, maybe you should wash your.

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Ass maybe that that that always makes me feel better washing. No,

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 3>what was I gonna say? I I had an idea

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>of what I was gonna say, and then I forgot,

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>probably because I smoked already. I'm having like Eela. That's

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 3>why I'm not gonna smoke.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 2>This is why I went to Dare. It's peer pressure.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, don't say those words, stare, Please don't listen.

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:51.799
<v Speaker 2>Still they're still around.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 5>They are.

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I really want one of those T shirts, even though

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I'm kind of a hypochis that's the point, right, oh,

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 4>to wear No, I don't think that's the point for you.

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean for me. No.

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 4>I just like their shirts and I thought they were

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 4>like retired, but they're making it come back.

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I know what I wanted to say.

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I want to just say that if you tuned into

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.120

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 3>but if if you did, then you know it was

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 3>about basically talking about body parts anatomy sex with your toddlers,

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 3>your kids, and that it's an ongoing conversation and it's

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 3>so important for kids to identify their body parts by

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 3>their real names. But I'm not gonna get too much

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.760

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.239

<v Speaker 3>This is Sam's is deep, I mean on deep, It's

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.599

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 3>my ex used to go there all the time, and

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I would like, I didn't really and it was a

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>strip club, Sam's Club the store. Now I know it

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 3>was a strip club, but like I was just like, okay, cool,

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 3>but he was going all the time. And then I

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 3>went like recently, maybe like three months ago on my

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 3>own with a girlfriends, and I was like, that's why

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 3>this nigga.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Was here, Okay, I see. I was like low key angry,

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>but then I was like, hey, that's kind of fun.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>And you know what.

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 4>Also, this is me because I'm a fat ass. I'm

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 4>a foodie, y'all the skinny bitches.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 2>The foodie her and her daughter and my kid. Yes,

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>oh my god. And I can't be mad. She's be

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 2>like every five minutes, I'm like, oh my god, I

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 2>did it to my child.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Every time when it comes over you guys, She's like,

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I want strawberries, I want her harries, I want a food.

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 2>It makes me feel like people think I don't feed

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>my kid. No, you know, she just loves her. She

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>loves her some food she does. I really doesn't want

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to eat anything French fries.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Sam's has good food, and usually, like ship clubs in

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 4>Atlanta have good food.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>And that wasn't like ninety like sixty percent of my motivation.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 4>So the fact that they have good food really makes

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 4>me feel at home because I'm like naked bitches and

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:50.880

<v Speaker 2>like overkill. Yeah, I was like, just it was easy.

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 3>I've been getting back into work and just I wanna

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 3>start working out again. I've been falling off, not feeling

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 3>so great. Working out is like part of my mental

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>sanity in life.

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Period. You feel like working out n ki ki like

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>n keeps you sane. Yes, that's probably what I need

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 2>to do, but it's hard for me.

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I get really into it and then I get really inconsistent,

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 3>and then I start I just noticed a shift in

0:07:36.800 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 3>my attitude. Yes, baby, okay, okay.

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I went on a date that was cool. This is

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 2>oh a new date? No, no, the date we were

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>a little the same date, okay, same guide, same date.

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and chatted with you, texted, we texted a lot, texted,

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>built Insta stories.

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>To like whatever I'm like am I slow? Clearly social

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>media is a whole other thing. I feel so much pressure.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, let me ask the hair cut. This one's okay. No,

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel pressure. I don't. I barely know what

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:39.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I only know because of beauty Blender and like looking

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>at their stuff all day and watching other people make

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 3>things better than me, and then I'm like, oh, that's

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 3>how you do that.

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 4>I thought I could stayed up post for like forty

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 4>five minutes, and then I get Hi, I distracted, and

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm like it's ugly.

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's too much. Oh So, speaking of new news

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>recently in Kelly of North's Sacramento, did you hear about

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Clark. Stephen Clark is Stephan or Stephen Stefan.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 4>I think when when white people use pH, it's Stephen,

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 4>when Black people use pH, it's Stefan or Stephan.

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Because I've heard in a few different ways and no confusing.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be out here saying his name

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 3>incorrectly because it's really important and he's an important person.

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Rest his soul.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately he had to lose his life absolutely, get murdered.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say get murdered.

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 4>He got murdered by the police in his own backyard

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 4>for being on a cell phone.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean this seems like I've heard this before.

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I just can't believe when we just watched that video

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 3>right now, like that they shot twenty shots between two people,

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 3>like this is Iraq, Like this is the war. There's

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 3>only one person. It does not take twenty gun shots

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.719
<v Speaker 3>to put one person down. Like what kind of it's

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 3>like a video?

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Gay?

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I mean, first of all, to be in the

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 4>line of duty, you're on gonna you're fighting crime.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's be real, that's what you're supposed to be doing.

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>But at some point.

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.199
<v Speaker 4>When you signed up for that ship, when you went

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 4>through the camp or training whatever training that obviously it's

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 4>minimal go around that happens. I mean, honestly, these people

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 4>are cowards. You can literally hear him shaking and his

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 4>breathing in the officer. Yeah, after they've shot this man

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 4>twenty times. The most the hardest part is that they

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 4>let him sit there for five or six minutes asking.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Him to get up. Do you have a gun? You

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>have a gun?

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 3>You just shot someone twenty times? Do you really think

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna then they can respond?

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>You think they're alive? Do you think they survived? You

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 2>are a fucking idiot, is what you are.

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 4>And you should have no business having any job except

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 4>the one at Walmart because you're dumb as fuck. And

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 4>I really hope even though unfortunately we all know, these

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 4>motherfuckers are gonna get paid leave for six months or

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 4>however long it takes a paid vacation for them the

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 4>investigate when I could be I'll be the investigator murder.

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>They need to go to jail. They're not going to

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>go to jail. They they're not.

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Especially they've already started talking about that this was a

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 3>justified kill because after watching the footage, even though that

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:14.719
<v Speaker 3>like it could have because of.

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>What anything, how are they discussing it. It's a justified kills.

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 3>That's the report that I had seen when it first happened,

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know if it's I'm pretty sure it's

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 3>probably changed its First.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Of all, the call was for a black male who

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 4>was breaking into cars.

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, not a mass murderer, not.

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 4>A rapist on the loose, not someone with a machine

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 4>gun in the neighborhood. It's an alert red somebody breaking

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 4>into cars.

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you're going to find something.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 4>Breaking into cars and you just see a black man,

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 4>you have not identified this person, haven't asked for any

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 4>type of ID and you pull your weapon. First of all,

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 4>you don't need a gun to break into a car.

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 4>And they said they thought it was a crowbar. What

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 4>did they think he was.

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Going to do?

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Willkanda swing it at them? Like they shot him twenty times?

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 4>And then proceeded to ask him, we need to know

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 4>if you have a gun on you. They must show

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 4>me your hands, Show.

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Me your hands.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 4>They must really think we're from we're superhuman. They must

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 4>think black people are superhuman.

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we are superhuman are but ain't nobody human

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 3>survive twenty gunshots?

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Show me your hands? I like, I just I want

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to know how these people sleep at night.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 4>I want to know how do you go to work

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 4>every day and you're this scared of black people.

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Or people period? Like this should not be listen. I

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 2>don't like blood. I don't like death.

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't like losing people. I can't be a nurse.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 4>I know that because I know myself. If you're a pussy,

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 4>you need not be a cop.

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>You need not be a cop. It's like one plus

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>one equals too. And I hope, like I literally hope

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 2>that he has he. I hope that I should hunt

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>that motherfucker for the rest of their lives. I really do.

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 4>I really do, because that's somebody's child. That's somebody that

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 4>he lived with, his grandparents. His grandparents and his child

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 4>were in the house.

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>They didn't even know it was him that they shot

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.319
<v Speaker 2>in their backyard. They didn't even.

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 4>Know that their grandchild is back there getting murdered by cops,

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 4>people who are supposed to protect you.

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if I saw a cop running towards me

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 3>as a black man, I'm running too. I'm running because

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why y'all are running, and I'm running

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 3>because y'all are chasing me and I haven't done shit.

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 3>And I'm scared of cops at this point because you

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 3>guys have worked in our trust so many times.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>And don't get me wrong, I know some things are accidents.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Do I think that these cops like set out to

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 3>murder someone woke up this morning and were like, we're

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna go murder some like niggers today. Like, I don't

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 3>know that for sure. I can't make that. That's a

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 3>really grandose assumption, But I just feel like it's the

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 3>lack of training. These people do not have any training,

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 3>which makes you do pussy shit. You act like you're

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 3>in a fucking video game because and suddenly your life

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 3>is more important than the other person's.

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 2>There is training, but the training is probably biased. It's terrible.

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and there's just there's just a bad likes. And

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 3>then on the at the root of like what the

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 3>police force is, I know it comes stems from goodness,

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 3>but they're rotting way.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 4>But that's where you're wrong, and that's where people are misconceived,

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 4>the misconception of the police forces that they I mean,

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 4>we all have, you know, think that they're there for good.

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 4>But you know that the police the police force started

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 4>as like slave catchers. That's literally where the police force

0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 4>the root of it is. So like even the badges

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 4>are similar, like that came from that. So when it

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 4>stems from that, even like we're in the United States,

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 4>it's not gonna twisted. Even black people have like embreded

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 4>stereotypical racist feelings because that's what we're fed constantly.

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>These white like these cops.

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 4>That ship is not that big of a deal because

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 4>there's no consequences and there have been no consequences. Fuck

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 4>a body cam, it does not matter. First of all,

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 4>on that settage we didn't see him run. We just

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 4>talked in the backyard. There was no footage of him running.

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 4>I didn't see him run.

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 3>And where's the app where's the rest of the footage?

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 3>You only put it on so you own They switched

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 3>on their camera footage when when.

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 2>They started break before they started shooting.

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 4>And then the fact that part is even if he

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 4>had not run or had run, it may.

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 5>Not have changed their It may not have changed anything

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 5>because we've seen other videos where people aren't running, they

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 5>aren't doing anything, plain daylight, Eric Gardner, and they strangled

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 5>him together ten people and nobody.

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, I'm coming.

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 6>This interested.

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Sorry for that short break. Kids are very needy. We're

0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>back but but yeah, anyway.

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't wanna We have an episode plans today, guys.

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>But we had to mention this because it is just

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>so outrageous.

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Outrageous and sad, sad, and it's just sad that it's

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 3>like I'm getting used to it.

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>It's normal. It's not surprising that this is happening because.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting numbt getting numbed to it, Loki, Like, not

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 3>that I don't care about this at all, I do.

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 3>When I just saw that video, Like something inside me

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 3>just makes me so fucking angry. I'm angry, like it's

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 3>just becoming. It's not getting better because no one's paying

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 3>the price. There's no comb's going to be an example.

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 3>We just have to be the examples all the time.

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's crazy.

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 3>And this person is someone's child, Like, this is someone's child.

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 3>And people don't look at other people from different socioeconomic

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 3>places and like different skin cut but they suddenly like

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 3>their children are not human to them or something.

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like they're not looking at they're they're what are

0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 4>you saying, separating?

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I just mean like they just don't look at people like, oh,

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 3>you're a child, You're someone's child.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 4>That's my biggest That's what I'm most baffled by because

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 4>a lot of the times these cops are parents, and like, literally,

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what your experience was, but like obviously

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 4>I knew this, but when I gave birth to, when

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 4>I gave birth to like this innocent, small little being,

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 4>and then you just see how innocent they are and

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 4>how they don't know anything.

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>And I mean literally, we're just born.

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 4>We were not choosing any of our socio you know,

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 4>economic statuses and it's just like you would think that

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:31.439
<v Speaker 4>that could soften anyone's heart.

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Like that when people.

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Who have kids who are mothers or fathers and they're racist,

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 4>it really baffles me because you've experienced the beauty of

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.959
<v Speaker 4>childbirth and like the pureness and that you've you've chosen

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:48.199
<v Speaker 4>to have hate. Oh my god, this is this is

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 4>not on topic, but have you seen there's a snapchat

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 4>in some racist ass places in Middle America?

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Two white nurses are.

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Maternity nurses in the maternity ward and they were snapchatting

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 4>like this little black baby and saying like, look, I'm

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 4>a rapper, like making racist comments with the baby on

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 4>the snapchat.

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>What a newborn. And apparently they have one friend that

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 2>cares because someone reported them and they got fired as

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 2>they should.

0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 4>But calling the baby like inappropriate names. Can you imagine?

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 4>That's another thing like which brings us to our topic today.

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:33.360
<v Speaker 4>Today we're gonna be discussing pregnancy postpartum and how real

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 4>that motherfucking transition is. Yeah, the shock factor.

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Shock factor. It's not what Instagram is showing. No, it's

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 3>not even what my Instagram is showing. Nobody told me

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 3>about this part of it. There's a lot of shit

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:50.120
<v Speaker 3>people don't tell me about, but this, for sure, it's like, oh,

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be hard.

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:58.439
<v Speaker 4>That is the lightest, most diet sugarcoated form of saying bitch,

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:08.439
<v Speaker 4>are you sure about this? Because yeah, yeah, seriously. This

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 4>is a big thing for me because immediately I was like,

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 4>what the fuck have I done?

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>When you got pregnant? I mean, when I got pregnant.

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 4>After I had the baby, when I got home two

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 4>weeks after that.

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, when I got pregnant, I was so scared.

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I was terrified. Did you cry? I didn't cry.

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 3>I just felt fear Like I was like, yeah, like

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to pass time right now. And I was like,

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, Like I don't even like kids.

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 2>You don't I do? Now? I love kids other than

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 2>your own kids. No, I love all kids. When I

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 2>see the little kids, like really maybe like yeah, you know,

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.120
<v Speaker 2>they got what I know. I have friends.

0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 4>My friend who I just came back from visiting, she

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 4>doesn't like kids, like she likes hers.

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.919
<v Speaker 2>But like she doesn't. I have to remind her like

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you're her aunt, like you're Linna remember She's like.

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I was like her, just like I have friends

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 4>who have kids.

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:04.199
<v Speaker 2>There was a mistake.

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I I just it's not that I didn't like kids. Okay,

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 3>that's a strong word. I just think I just I

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.880
<v Speaker 3>wasn't into like playing, Like I don't want to play

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Hide and.

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Go Seek, I want to play. I just I think my.

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Even like I have a really young sibling, my siblings,

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 3>my youngest sibling of six, so it's like a baby.

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 3>And like now that I have a baby, I would play.

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 3>But before I'd be like, I want.

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>To play, you know, it's so stunny to play.

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.439
<v Speaker 4>I see myself as this like nurturing maternal person, Like

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I've always thought that I've always wanted to have a lot.

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Of kids, maybe because I'm a cancer, which was like

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the mother's sign.

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 4>But when I told my dad, like I was telling

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 4>my dad like yeah I want He's like you want kids,

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, yeah, you didn't know that, He's

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 4>like remember, I just I was shocked that my own

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 4>father like was questioning that I should be a parent

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 4>and be like wanted to be a parent. But like

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 4>almost like eight years ago, one of the coptail witch

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 4>I was telling him body, I was getting a puppy,

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 4>and they were like, why you shouldn't get a puppy

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 4>like everybody, And I was like, what nobody thinks of

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:07.040
<v Speaker 4>any skills?

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:07.159
<v Speaker 7>You?

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're like, I'm mother nature.

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 4>I came off, I was nurturing Motherlike what are you

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:20.479
<v Speaker 4>talking about? So clearly my own self perception and everybody

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 4>else's is off. But yeah, I mean, I guess I

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 4>can see where people could get that idea, but clearly

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 4>we are very mothering mother like.

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I love I love kids. Now it's usually the parents.

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Parents do better. Parents bad parents make asshole kids do better.

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.080
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I was. I was, and then I

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.439
<v Speaker 3>got excited because he was excited, and you know, but

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 3>then when my body started changing was hard for me

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 3>to At first it was.

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Cute and then there was a point where I just

0:21:58.359 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 2>wasn't cute anymore.

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 3>But it was my fault. I ate, like it was

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:04.439
<v Speaker 3>my fucking full time job. Like I ate, like I

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.119
<v Speaker 3>was eating for three and three How.

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Much weight did you gain? Seventy pounds? Oh my god, Eric, yeah,

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.680
<v Speaker 2>seventy pounds. How did you even lose on that weight?

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 2>It's been a minute, Yeah.

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Taking me almost three years, literally, Like I was like,

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 3>you're passed about that? At first, that's like I think

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 3>part of the reason that like postpartum popped up for

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 3>me initially because I've always been so conscious of my

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.640
<v Speaker 3>weight and my body and like being an actor and

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 3>like like a kid model or whatever.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, you become aware of those things that

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 2>are kind of an early age, which doesn't help. Yeah,

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you come away.

0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:42.439
<v Speaker 3>Those things kind of an early age. And so I

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 3>was always like a little self conscious. And so I

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 3>don't get me wrong, I look in the mirror even

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 3>now and like even back then and be like growing,

0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:52.400
<v Speaker 3>you look good to day. The other's days I'm like, ooh,

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 3>ate those burgers four days in a row. But yeah,

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 3>I just like the idea of my body and it

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 3>was really hard for me to adjust to. It was

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 3>really hard. And obviously when you gained seventy pounds, it's

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:06.119
<v Speaker 3>also hard to hide.

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:10.120
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, ain no uh weigh.

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 2>But I saw your pregnancy photos. Girl, you were all cute.

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.679
<v Speaker 2>You just didn't gain one paund You gain like ten pounds.

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 4>I gained like thirty five pounds, but it was literally

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 4>all in my stomach.

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I went for my postpartum six weeks.

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 4>First of all, I was portion of the reason I

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 4>was happy to get pregnant, since I thought I was gonna

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 4>be thick and get hips, and like six weeks later

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.199
<v Speaker 4>when I went to the postpartum I think I was.

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I started and ninety eight pounds.

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 4>Before I got pregnant, and I went back to my

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 4>postpartum bitch, I was ninety six pounds.

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I was pissed. I'm like, check that again, what do

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>you mean it was only six weeks ago.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 4>You're telling me not any of this weight stayed thirty

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 4>five pounds and I come back with my negative too.

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I was mad. Oh my god, I lost thirty pounds,

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:57.679
<v Speaker 2>like immediately from.

0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 4>Having the baby, right the baby, all the weight you

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 4>lost right there. I think you can see my I

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 4>think you can see like my ribs in my Like

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 4>my ribs were on top, the belly was the loft.

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh.

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 4>But when I found out I was pregnant, first of all,

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 4>it's so it's a bizarre thing because I was like

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 4>living with my man at the time. I've known him

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 4>like fifteen years, so I shouldn't have been like freaked out.

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 4>But I cried. I like cried like a baby. And

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 4>I remember looking at him and he was like, oh

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 4>my god, this she's a bitch. I remember thinking like,

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 4>I'm a mean person, and I was just like, eh,

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 4>I was scared. And I was so scared that first

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.119
<v Speaker 4>of all, I'm super hippie and I'm super.

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Like, God send me signs, spirits, ancestors.

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 4>So I asked all my friends, like, do you guys

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 4>know any like spiritual guides or like psychics? I asked

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 4>all the hippie friends for two weeks straight. Nobody got

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:50.680
<v Speaker 4>back to me. So I'm like, oh, this is something

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna have to make a decision about pretty soon.

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 2>So I'm literally at a friend's friend's house.

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 4>We've been there all day and I just smoked a

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:00.879
<v Speaker 4>little weed and I said her like, do you know

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 4>any spiritual advisors I have, like this thing I really

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:05.399
<v Speaker 4>need to talk to someone about. She's like, yeah, my

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 4>friend Eddie she's inside. I'm like, really's like, yeah, she's

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 4>been here all day. She's the best psychic I know.

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm like seriously, She's like yeah. I'm like I'm been

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 4>asking people for two weeks. I'm like, can you ask

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 4>her if she'll talk to me? She's like yeah, I'll

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 4>pay her. So Eddie decides to do it. She busts

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 4>out her Tarot cards.

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh damn. I didn't tell her what my thing was

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.879
<v Speaker 2>because I was still skinny. I was like four or

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 2>five weeks pregnant.

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 4>And she starts reading the cards. Erica, this bitch, I'm

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 4>looking at the cards they're facing. Her pulls a pregnant

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Tarot card. Shut up, it was I didn't even know

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 4>if pregnant tarrot card existed.

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 2>And I'm looking like trying to break my neck, and

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 2>she's like, well, you see this card.

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 4>And after that, like I didn't, I consciously asked God

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 4>to give me an answer. She clearly pulled the pregnant card.

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 4>I didn't hear anything else she said. I was just like, oh, okay, God, okay,

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 4>well let's do it, you know, like okay. So, I

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 4>mean I basically kept my child because the strangers psychic

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 4>lady told me that it was in the stars.

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 2>In the stars.

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:08.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was scared, but I had, like I just

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 3>knew I was going to keep it, per keep it.

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean because I help her. Like when we

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 4>got pregnant, I was twenty six, twenty seven. Yeah, so

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 4>I mean we're past the like unacceptable way.

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:21.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm twenty seven.

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:23.879
<v Speaker 3>I've been with my man at this point for like

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 3>five years, you know.

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Mature adult. Yeah, and she's like kind of in high school.

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:34.439
<v Speaker 4>I think I had started to feel more maternal in

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 4>that last year for some reason.

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 2>A little bit more probably age. Yeah, And so I

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 2>just went for it.

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:45.200
<v Speaker 8>And here I'm blessed of my little Ivy Jane Yay.

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:49.160
<v Speaker 8>Now we have children that are friends and very annoying friends,

0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 8>but it's still very nice.

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, So I think you know, if you live

0:26:59.240 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 3>in the world that we live, which is Instagram, like

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 3>you see people and they have their babies and and

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:06.720
<v Speaker 3>they're like they've lost all the weight or there are

0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 3>suddenly their baby wait turned into like like like musa

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:14.160
<v Speaker 3>video vixen body, or like they're.

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Madly in love.

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:17.200
<v Speaker 4>They've just got engaged and had a huge fat ring

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:18.640
<v Speaker 4>and fee a huge house.

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, and like we're going on walks and they're

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 2>all watching.

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just so like confusing for someone who

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.719
<v Speaker 3>like has most part of it is seeing that as

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 3>a first time parent and they're just like, what, like,

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 3>what's wrong with me? Why am I not? Like, first

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 3>of all, am I why don't I look like that?

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Yet? It's not even about love.

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Why don't I feel like that? I feel why I

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 3>don't want to go to the park. Why do I

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 3>want to Why would I want to go to the park.

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Everything's here, honestly.

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 4>Like the day I left the hospital, they put me

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.639
<v Speaker 4>in the car and I got home, I was like

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 4>I felt like a child that got dropped off by

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 4>our for the like wha, wait your late wait hold on,

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:05.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm not ready to go yet. Like I know, I

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 4>still get out of here, but are you The nurse

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 4>is not coming with me?

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Like I felt in shock, like I was in shock.

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:14.919
<v Speaker 2>And then after like three days sitting in my house,

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 2>it was raining and shit, I think.

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 4>Her dad went to work, and I was just like,

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 4>and I was cleaning, and I was like zoned out,

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:37.600

<v Speaker 2>And immediately I'm like, oh my god, how am I?

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 4>My stomach got really dark, because like the hormones, like

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 4>the stretching.

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:50.360

<v Speaker 3>of so I'm like, you're not you who you are,

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:13.680
<v Speaker 3>but everything changes. And that's how I felt. I felt

0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 3>when when I went home, I was like, I mean,

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.040

0:29:24.520 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 3>the most tired I've ever been in my life.

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 2>It comes this daunting cloud that comes. Ever you're like,

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, this is my life now. It's just heavy.

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 2>It's so tired.

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I try to explain to my friends I don't have kids,

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 3>or like maybe are pregnant, like our girlfriend is pregnant,

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 3>and I'm just trying to tell explain and sometimes I

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 3>have flashbacks and I'm like I thought I knew that

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 3>I'd be tired like before when I before I had

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 3>a baby, I'm like, okay, yeah you're tired.

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I'm gonna be so tired.

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Then until your art You're like this is beyond tired.

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 3>This is some other shit. And that's where like it's

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 3>just like can get confusing. The tiredness can make you depressed.

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 3>And if you don't have breaks and if you don't

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 3>have someone to a support system, it's really difficult.

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.960
<v Speaker 4>And then it's just like you're you're feeding the baby,

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 4>you're changing the baby, You're bathing with the baby, you're

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:15.320
<v Speaker 4>getting the baby dressed, the baby's sleeping with you. There

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 4>was a moment I got home to the hospital and

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:19.479
<v Speaker 4>like my baby's daddy was like here on my cheeks.

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 4>The baby was like right under me, and I was.

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Like I was like, oh my god, I can't breathe.

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 4>And then like maybe like six six later, he was

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 4>trying to like the baby went to sleep, probe me

0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 4>for sex.

0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh my god, I'm a machine. Like I decided,

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I like you is give I give right.

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 4>I felt like I was getting depleted, like my energy

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 4>was just going to this baby. Now you you just

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:42.320

<v Speaker 2>It was pits. Oh my god, it's so true. You

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 2>do you feel like the giving tree?

0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Yes, like wait, hold the fuck up. This is what

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 4>I this is what I signed up for. And then

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 4>I think there's like it's because you know what, a lot.

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Of it, like I said, in social media plays a

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 3>part because men are looking at these women that have

0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 3>babies and they're just out and about looking sexy and

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 3>their stollers and look fuckable, like you're just living this

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.680
<v Speaker 3>great post baby life and they're like, why isn't my

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 3>wife looking are doing this? It's because most of those

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 3>women aren't doing this either.

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 4>And then we live in this fucked up society where

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 4>like we said, like, no one discusses this real shit

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 4>about what happens after you have a baby. Literally after

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I gave birth and I laughed, I was like, my

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 4>vagina hurts.

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 2>No one talk to me about that.

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I was like, don't laugh, Like, no one talks to me,

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 2>like you always think about the birth. It's gonna be

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 2>so hard a da da dah, and then but then

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you have then you're bleeding, you're fucking pussy hearts.

0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:44.720
<v Speaker 4>You can't laugh hard. It's weird, like these are none

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 4>of the things. Nobody mentions this shit. And then even

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 4>within the mom community, I feel like there was a

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 4>lot of pressure to be like we have like this

0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 4>mom image, you.

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Know, like you schoos to be fucking Susie Homemaker.

0:31:57.040 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 4>After you have a kid, automatically, you birth the baby,

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 4>you come up looking like Susie. You know, like, no,

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 4>it's not what happens. And if you don't like live

0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:07.720
<v Speaker 4>up to that, then you're like, something's wrong with me.

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 2>No, for sure, it's true.

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's just yeah, it's just I mean I

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 3>didn't wash my like do my hair for like weeks.

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know if that's postpartum. I think that's

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 3>just the first four weeks also. But then if you

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 3>just keep it going, we're going and going, you know

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 3>what I mean, Like you have to get you have

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 3>even though like literally your life is never the same.

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Because that was my thing.

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I think postpartum depression is such like

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 3>people don't like to talk about it because it can

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 3>be really embarrassing. The thoughts that you have some parents have.

0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 3>I fortunately did not have these thoughts, but I know

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 3>that it pops up all the time in postpartum, that

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 3>women feel like they want to hurt their child, that

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 3>they have bad thoughts, that they feel totally disconnected from

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 3>their child. And that's the worst thing that you can feel,

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 3>or feel judged by, feel.

0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Judged for as a woman. You know what I mean.

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 3>We're supposed to be these like maternal like beings, right,

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 3>and that's not true.

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 2>We don't come in maternal. We learn it because you know,

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I could.

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Only be as maternal as you know your experience and

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 4>if you've never had kids, right. Even I think I

0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 4>went to the I had got the doctor maybe like

0:33:18.160 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 4>a week after I gave birth, or maybe a few

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 4>days because I had high blood pressure. And I was

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 4>in the waiting room at that OpEd my inn and

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 4>the baby Luna starts crying, getting fussy, and I remember

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 4>like shaking her, bouncing, and I remember all the women

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 4>looking at me, and I just got this.

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:37.479
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my god, everybody's looking at me.

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 2>She won't shut up. I'm doing it wrong. I just

0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 2>touched your position. A couple of times unless she put

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 2>my blue rock. I was with my my, her dad's mom,

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and she was looking at me. I just felt I

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 2>just had to step up.

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 4>I took the baby and I stepped outside because I

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.120
<v Speaker 4>felt so much pressure that the other women who probably

0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 4>already had kids were like that, there's just no.

0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 2>She's doing well. You did it, you did it, you know.

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean I took baby classes and everything in the

0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 3>moment she came. I mean, I have to say though

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 3>the moment she came, I knew how to hold her.

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:10.319
<v Speaker 2>I know that for sure, it does come natually, but

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 2>it is still a very scary experience. But it's over.

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:16.279
<v Speaker 3>When she came home, we were alone, just met her

0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:18.840
<v Speaker 3>and her dad. I was like, and then he left

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:20.439
<v Speaker 3>for like I don't know, to go get food.

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I was like, wait, what right? Any way coming on?

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you okay? Like are you reading?

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 3>And then just once I finally adjusted to being a mother,

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 3>and I still I just then I just felt I

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 3>was like, okay, I'm getting the hang of this. I

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:40.680
<v Speaker 3>haven't been out in months and I looked terrible. I'm

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 3>still I'm still there's something, there's something different for me.

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Nothing's ever going to be the same again, and that's true.

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Nothing is ever the same again, and in the best

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.760
<v Speaker 3>way possible. But it's hard to see that at first,

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 3>especially when you're in postpartum, which I didn't realize I

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:58.799
<v Speaker 3>had postpartum until I was out of it and I

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 3>looked back on it and I was like, Oh, you

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 3>were not okay and you were not happy, and you know,

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 3>the person that you were with didn't know how to

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 3>support you in that because they don't.

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Teach men about that. They don't. They don't.

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Men don't even understand, even if if they get taught

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 3>or whatever. It's hard for no men understands how a

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 3>woman feels after you.

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Literally women don't even know I understand how they feel.

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Like our bodies are flushed out, like we gave birth

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 3>and everything that we've been like incubating and holding in

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 3>is just suddenly depleted.

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 2>For other babies just like that. Yeah, and we're supposed

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to be just fine. Your hormones are literally raging. It's that.

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:38.000
<v Speaker 2>It's that it's literally an influx.

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 4>In your hormones or whatever readjustment. But it takes time

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 4>to adjust to that. And honestly, as soon as I

0:35:44.640 --> 0:35:47.640
<v Speaker 4>came home when I was sitting on that couch alone

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 4>and overwhelmed. I saw immediately how postpartum depression can easily

0:35:55.200 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 4>even how any woman who does how the baby can

0:35:57.200 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 4>easily fall into a form of depression because there's this

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:04.280
<v Speaker 4>major transition and adjustment that nobody talks about.

0:36:04.640 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 2>And no, it's crazy.

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:07.719
<v Speaker 3>And we did a little bit of research and found

0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:11.840
<v Speaker 3>out that one in seven women suffer from postpartum depression.

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Which is a lot. That's a huge number.

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 3>And it's even crazier is like four million, So four

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 3>million live births a year, six hundred thousand of those

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:28.240
<v Speaker 3>women that have those children are going to experience postpartum depression.

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 3>That's more than someone who has breast cancer, cervical cancer,

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:36.680
<v Speaker 3>a stroke, all those combined. These women there, there's more

0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 3>cases of postpartum depression than all those things combined to women.

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's seriously a thing. And then it's a thing.

0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:46.879
<v Speaker 3>After looking at these stats, I was like, damn, Like

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 3>like I was like really, I thought like I was alone.

0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:52.400
<v Speaker 3>And then I talked to my other girlfriend who experienced

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 3>it pretty badly, a lot more severe than I did,

0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:58.560
<v Speaker 3>and she was embarrassed to talk about it and to

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 3>hear her talk about it was like wow, wow. I

0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 3>mean if I have felt the way that, if I

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 3>had those thoughts, like suicidal thoughts and thoughts of hurting

0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 3>my child, I don't know who I would feel comfortable

0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:09.280
<v Speaker 3>talking about.

0:37:09.040 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 2>That with either, because you feel guilty.

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 4>Those so shamed, like ashamed, like who am I that

0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking of killing my kid? But it's common and

0:37:16.320 --> 0:37:18.680
<v Speaker 4>it happens. And because it's so shamed, it's such a

0:37:18.760 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 4>it's so look that it's so shameful, and people don't

0:37:20.920 --> 0:37:22.560
<v Speaker 4>discuss it and people are embarrassed.

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 2>To talk about it. Forty percent of those cases go undiagnosed.

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:29.200
<v Speaker 2>So there's four million, like six.

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.319
<v Speaker 4>Hundred thousand women developed this and forty percent are not

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:35.839
<v Speaker 4>even cases are not diagnosed. I mean, imagine how many

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:38.319
<v Speaker 4>people experiencing it and not a not knowing and be

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 4>not getting help.

0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, No, it's crazy.

0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 4>And how many kids actually get harmed as a result

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:47.719
<v Speaker 4>or abandoned or actually moms kill themselves. The suicide rate

0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 4>and among postpartum women is pretty high too.

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty high. Yeah, especially the kids. It's just like

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:57.000
<v Speaker 3>they don't know why mommy is disconnected from them. Why

0:37:57.120 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 3>is and even when you're even as a child, as

0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 3>a as a baby, a newborn, you're you all, you're

0:38:03.800 --> 0:38:07.640
<v Speaker 3>you're just like this new thing in this world and

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 3>you don't have anything except your mother, right, and she's

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:13.520
<v Speaker 3>who you writ from. You Like, can you imagine what

0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 3>that what kind of effect that has on like a

0:38:15.400 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 3>baby's brain?

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, whenever, what did our stats say? Eleven percent?

0:38:22.239 --> 0:38:22.279
<v Speaker 7>No?

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.600
<v Speaker 2>No, there was a study on eleven year olds who.

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, eleven year olds who's whose parents suffered from

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 3>post part of depression, and they had considerably lower IQs.

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean we don't I'm not sure what the variable

0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:39.360
<v Speaker 4>or in that research, but I mean I can I

0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 4>can see how important it is to bond with your

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 4>kid and those to those you know, initial moments, and

0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 4>that not happening does affect your kids, even if they

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:49.239
<v Speaker 4>are just newborns and you think that it doesn't, that

0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 4>emotional like connect is it's pretty important. Yeah.

0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:58.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean these like suicidal deaths account for twenty two

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 3>percent of postpartum mortalities.

0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Like that's that's just twenty two percent of the lot.

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 3>That's just not okay, And it's kind it's like some

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 3>people know like I'm depressed. Other people I think postparty

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:11.879
<v Speaker 3>we can be confusing because you have this beautiful baby.

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:13.879
<v Speaker 2>So you're like, I'm not depressed, what I have this kid.

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 2>We're good where I'm happy.

0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:17.320
<v Speaker 3>And then you're like, I'm not happy and I'm so horrible,

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 3>like I'm never gonna be able to go out again.

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Like everyone hates me. I'm I'm fat, I'm not pretty.

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:25.080
<v Speaker 3>My husband doesn't want to have sex with me. He's

0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 3>cheating on me.

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Like all these different vagina hurts. My vagina hurts. My

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 2>vagina is not the same, right or yeah, like you know,

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:34.920
<v Speaker 2>like you just have all these did you tear? I

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 2>had a sea section? Oh right, I forgot. Yeah, I

0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:39.239
<v Speaker 2>don't recommend it.

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a whole different thing. I mean imagine yeah,

0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.000
<v Speaker 4>even having a sea section. Imagine having a newborn and

0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:45.960
<v Speaker 4>then having to recover from.

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 2>A major surgery.

0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 4>They like to remove your like, don't they remove your

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:54.320
<v Speaker 4>your intestines. They're like they take everything out of your stomach,

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:55.960
<v Speaker 4>then hit the baby out, then place it back.

0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 2>That's a major surgery. So people are like, oh, I

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 2>want to schedule see section. No, bitch, you.

0:40:01.160 --> 0:40:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Don't, because you're like signing up for a newborn plus

0:40:05.960 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 4>recovering from a major surgery where they just removed your intendance.

0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:13.440
<v Speaker 2>And put them on the table. Hell no, let's just

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 2>try to push it out the canal. If we can't.

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how people opt for that, like to

0:40:19.120 --> 0:40:22.239
<v Speaker 3>each his own. But because there's not there's not information,

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 3>it's on my mind like I had, like meant try

0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 3>to at least mentally prepare for what birth, childbirth would

0:40:29.000 --> 0:40:31.200
<v Speaker 3>be like. And I just knew I was gonna have

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:34.120
<v Speaker 3>my child vaginally, you know what I mean, Like she

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 3>was gonna come out of there. We were gonna have

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 3>this bonding experience where she comes out.

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I have this whole vision.

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Quality because they have they have these videos were like

0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:44.840
<v Speaker 3>their mother would pull them out, place the baby, the

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:47.360
<v Speaker 3>baby on their stomach. Baby like inches up to the

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:50.640
<v Speaker 3>boh where to go. I've never seen the newborn inch

0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:54.239
<v Speaker 3>up to anywhere. It seems like like a national weldlife

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 3>so beautiful.

0:40:55.920 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a new born crawl. I really will

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.439
<v Speaker 2>not crawl, but like wiggle, you know. But you know what,

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:05.520
<v Speaker 2>And that's a good point.

0:41:05.600 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 4>Because I had this whole birth story that was going

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.320
<v Speaker 4>to birth at home, just me and my baby's saddy.

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to do like an unassistant hippie home birth,

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:12.040
<v Speaker 4>which is totally insane.

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:16.759
<v Speaker 3>But what's insane it's yeah, maybe maybe baby too.

0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:19.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would still try again, but because I had

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:21.719
<v Speaker 4>like high blood pressure pre clamped.

0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Yet, I had to go to the hospital, which was

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:25.160
<v Speaker 2>totally not in my plan. I did not want to

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the hospital.

0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 4>But you know what that initial welcome to motherhood was like, yeah, bitch,

0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:31.160
<v Speaker 4>you thought you had a plan.

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Now you don't. It was like you used to it.

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 4>They don't plan, they don't like, let me, this is

0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:39.120
<v Speaker 4>this is how you get started from motherhood.

0:41:39.160 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Bitch, fuck your plans.

0:41:41.520 --> 0:41:44.919
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, here I am not going by.

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Any of those plans. Yeah, no, I guess you're right.

0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:48.760
<v Speaker 2>It's it's true.

0:41:48.840 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 3>I've learned so many lessons just like that, because I

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:56.360
<v Speaker 3>have that initial crawling out of my room, drinking fresh

0:41:56.400 --> 0:42:03.480
<v Speaker 3>milk easily messed milk easily as just gonna on perfectly's

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 3>going to just flow out to her, Look at shining face,

0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:11.279
<v Speaker 3>blow a kids off eyeliner on right, not look like

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:15.799
<v Speaker 3>ship me too, horrible, Oh my god. But and then

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 3>so then that didn't happen, because that doesn't happen because

0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I feel like had I went with

0:42:23.400 --> 0:42:26.200
<v Speaker 3>my gut, which was I wanted to give birth at home,

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 3>or at least I don't I want to give birth

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 3>at home.

0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't really have My doctor wasn't very being

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:34.320
<v Speaker 2>very supportive. They're not gonny because he's not going to

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:35.200
<v Speaker 2>make money, I know.

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 3>And I also had no friends with children or that

0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:40.399
<v Speaker 3>I've ever given birth, so I had like no one

0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:42.440
<v Speaker 3>to talk to, like except my mom. But like I

0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:44.640
<v Speaker 3>was like, a bang, mom, there are no old school

0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 3>I know, so I didn't and then which I will

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 3>not old school because I wanted.

0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 2>When I told her I wanted to give birth at home,

0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:51.120
<v Speaker 2>she was like, why.

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:54.120
<v Speaker 4>No, Yeah, that's well they're old school in the sense

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 4>like their hospitals.

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:55.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Like my grandmother was like, oh yeah, who cares, they've

0:42:57.560 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 4>been doing that. My mom was like, are you crazy?

0:42:59.120 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 4>You're gonna die.

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:02.280
<v Speaker 2>So there's like you can see how the trend shifts.

0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 4>That's a whole different episode because I'm a huge I

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 4>think I should have been a midwife.

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Or still can. But I do want to.

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.640
<v Speaker 4>I do want to do a topic about like the

0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:13.759
<v Speaker 4>options for you know, the type of childbirth through because

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:14.320
<v Speaker 4>there are options.

0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:16.280
<v Speaker 3>I know, there are so many When I was researching,

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:17.560
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to do to a water birth.

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:19.759
<v Speaker 2>They had these water birthing centers you could go to.

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I think it's just like I feel like

0:43:23.680 --> 0:43:26.720
<v Speaker 3>it's like one of the most It just makes sense

0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 3>to be birthed into water.

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 2>You've been in water in your smooth transition and your

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.200
<v Speaker 2>comfort zone. Right you think Ricky lakele covenor show.

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Ricky Please, I love born. That was one of the

0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:41.720
<v Speaker 3>reasons I was convinced. I went and got a midwife.

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.399
<v Speaker 3>But then he, like, you know, baby Daddy didn't really

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.799
<v Speaker 3>support it. He was had that old school mentality too.

0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I was already kind of nervous about everything,

0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Like I was like the strictest like pregnant person, Like

0:43:54.120 --> 0:43:55.920
<v Speaker 3>never did I have one piece of tiny sushi?

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Like really did I.

0:43:57.040 --> 0:43:59.160
<v Speaker 3>I would not eat cheese like certain cheeses, and like

0:43:59.320 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I was like I need anything could happen.

0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:03.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, that is so not my personality. That's how

0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:04.799
<v Speaker 2>my personality eat.

0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.640
<v Speaker 4>I've been in Japan or eating sushi pregnant day, let's

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:08.680
<v Speaker 4>go kind of farly.

0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:09.759
<v Speaker 2>It is my personality.

0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't realize I was like that until I got

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:13.920
<v Speaker 3>pregnant and I was like, whatever you say goes.

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 2>And so I think because of that, I just my

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:18.920
<v Speaker 2>doctor was like, do you tell me still birthstart delivered

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:19.560
<v Speaker 2>from home birth?

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:21.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, that's an evil fucking thing for him

0:44:21.960 --> 0:44:22.480
<v Speaker 4>to say.

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:25.759
<v Speaker 2>So like, yeah, that's shit, Like that's the likelihood is low,

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:27.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's there. Just do your first they'd like to

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>tell you the point five person first birth in the hospital,

0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 2>the second birth. Once you get through it, you can

0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:34.799
<v Speaker 2>do it that way. Blah blah blah blah blah. And

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:36.399
<v Speaker 2>then when I was a week late, she was like, Okay,

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 2>we got to induce you. Baby's getting too big. Meanwhile,

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I.

0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Was just with a girlfriend last night and she told

0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:41.959
<v Speaker 3>me her friend delivered a ten pound baby.

0:44:41.960 --> 0:44:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I was like, bitch, if people go like ten days,

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:47.200
<v Speaker 2>two weeks, after days, ever even eight pounds, like I

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:50.200
<v Speaker 2>could have waited another week. Everybody has this is the

0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:50.719
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing.

0:44:50.840 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 4>Everybody has different pregnancies, everybody has different styles of motherhood,

0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:56.279
<v Speaker 4>everybody has different deliveries.

0:44:56.360 --> 0:44:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Like it's everybody does different shit.

0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:00.799
<v Speaker 4>And I think like if we can embraced that more

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 4>as like a village of moms and there's less judging

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 4>and less like these these standards of what it looks

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:08.279
<v Speaker 4>like to be a good mom. People would a be

0:45:08.360 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 4>more honest and be be less fucking surprised when that

0:45:12.560 --> 0:45:15.400
<v Speaker 4>baby gets out and it's not looking like Martha.

0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Stewart up in here.

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:19.400
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we could, if we could have a

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:23.560
<v Speaker 4>real conversation about the reality of motherhood. Like it's it's beautiful,

0:45:23.560 --> 0:45:27.680
<v Speaker 4>it's wonderful, but there's a downside, not a downside, but

0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 4>like you.

0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Know when they say it takes a fucking village girl,

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Like I think back on like I think back like

0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 3>when I was like living in when I was a

0:45:37.360 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 3>Native American, But you know, they had, like they had

0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 3>support women of the village that like took care of

0:45:46.120 --> 0:45:49.399
<v Speaker 3>whatever child was born, like took turns, gave that mother

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:52.160
<v Speaker 3>a break. I just feel like postpartum was probably non

0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:54.160
<v Speaker 3>existent then because everybody.

0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:57.360
<v Speaker 2>It was down to participating. It's so important.

0:45:57.440 --> 0:46:00.800
<v Speaker 3>And my point is is participation is so important, especially

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:02.400
<v Speaker 3>if you have the part if you have a partner,

0:46:02.400 --> 0:46:05.720
<v Speaker 3>if you're with the father or the mother or whatever

0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 3>whatever your sexual preferences, whatever, whoever you're with, they need

0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 3>to be they need to know the ways to support

0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:14.800
<v Speaker 3>you because it is rough out here. I don't know

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:17.080
<v Speaker 3>if we have any male followers, but it's very rough

0:46:17.160 --> 0:46:19.719
<v Speaker 3>out here for us women when we give birth, even

0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:22.200
<v Speaker 3>if we are trying and pretending like we got this,

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:24.640
<v Speaker 3>because you want to be able to do it all.

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm that type of way. I don't like

0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:27.600
<v Speaker 2>to ask for help for things.

0:46:27.880 --> 0:46:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I want you to know, like I made this choice

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:32.759
<v Speaker 3>to have this baby, or I go to kill it,

0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:35.160
<v Speaker 3>and then sometimes I don't kill it, and I'm like

0:46:35.200 --> 0:46:39.240
<v Speaker 3>tired and I'm not doing well because I'm burning myself

0:46:39.280 --> 0:46:39.800
<v Speaker 3>on both.

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Ends and it's like it's physically exhausting and it's mentally exhausting,

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Like there's a huge mental you know, physically your body's

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:51.680
<v Speaker 4>going through you've made your fucking changes, and then mentally.

0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:56.680
<v Speaker 2>You're like it's a huge challenge too. So for spouses

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:58.640
<v Speaker 2>or boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever.

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you do have Like it's important that you educate

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:04.120
<v Speaker 4>yourself on the signs of if your you know a

0:47:04.120 --> 0:47:07.520
<v Speaker 4>partner is experiencing these types of things, because a it's

0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:09.600
<v Speaker 4>good to protect the child because some people do have

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:11.560
<v Speaker 4>extreme cases where they want to hurt the child and

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:13.040
<v Speaker 4>hurt themselves.

0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know, you need to be able to be

0:47:15.040 --> 0:47:15.520
<v Speaker 2>aware of it.

0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:19.400
<v Speaker 4>To support them, we did some additional research.

0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Some of the symptoms were only road one two. My notes,

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:26.040
<v Speaker 2>this is why high school was bad for me. I

0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:28.120
<v Speaker 2>know it's say, disconnect with the baby.

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:31.239
<v Speaker 4>If you feel a disconnection with your baby and you

0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 4>don't want to hold it, or you just feeling rude.

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Out the other one's Erica, Yeah, I know you feel

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:43.440
<v Speaker 3>disconnected from the baby. You feel like useless, tired, want

0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:46.359
<v Speaker 3>to You're gonna be tired. You're gonna be tired. There's

0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:48.000
<v Speaker 3>just there's no getting around it. Just because you're tired

0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 3>doesn't mean you have part of depression.

0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Like that is normal.

0:47:51.239 --> 0:47:53.920
<v Speaker 4>I feel like everybody has feels farm depression, and to

0:47:54.000 --> 0:47:55.960
<v Speaker 4>some extent. I mean, I'm sure there's like those instant

0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:58.359
<v Speaker 4>moms that like that hot one with all the kids

0:47:58.400 --> 0:47:59.800
<v Speaker 4>who are still skinny.

0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:03.319
<v Speaker 2>This is a fair stage. She looks like she never

0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:04.359
<v Speaker 2>experienced anything like it.

0:48:04.480 --> 0:48:08.200
<v Speaker 3>She I don't even know where her baby existed, like

0:48:08.200 --> 0:48:11.799
<v Speaker 3>like I don't know it was. But then she has

0:48:11.840 --> 0:48:14.279
<v Speaker 3>a beautiful, big baby and I'm like, yeah, bitch, where

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:15.320
<v Speaker 3>the fuck was this baby?

0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:18.120
<v Speaker 2>And the belly some people have big ribs or like

0:48:18.239 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 2>you looks so small. She did she looks like you.

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:22.680
<v Speaker 2>You guys were the same size, but even I had

0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 2>a big ass belly. That was insane because we me

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 2>and her were pregnant at the same time.

0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I was looking at her Instagram, I'd be like,

0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:32.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll be over here, seventy pounds heavier, like.

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I just had my baby when I saw her.

0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 2>But even you know, at my homegirls, that's another thing.

0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Me and Erica became friends, like I guess the girls

0:48:42.040 --> 0:48:44.719
<v Speaker 4>were so small, but after we had kids, but so

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 4>a lot of.

0:48:45.239 --> 0:48:48.000
<v Speaker 2>My friends don't have kids or hadn't had kids yet either.

0:48:48.239 --> 0:48:53.200
<v Speaker 4>And my girlfriend was like, why aren't you dressing cute

0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 4>when I'm pregnant. I'm gonna dressed so cute, and I'm

0:48:56.160 --> 0:48:58.319
<v Speaker 4>dressed so cute when I'm pregnant, Like, get dress, what's

0:48:58.360 --> 0:48:58.800
<v Speaker 4>wrong with you?

0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:00.680
<v Speaker 2>You're not doing your hair. You look a mess.

0:49:00.840 --> 0:49:03.080
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to say, bitch, I will beat you with

0:49:03.160 --> 0:49:05.360
<v Speaker 4>this fucking boot, okay.

0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Because you don't.

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:09.880
<v Speaker 4>You think it's all fun, it's fluffy and cute, and

0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:12.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, I mean, I've had some cute days, like

0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:16.160
<v Speaker 4>twice and you know, like the ones to bur bikini,

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:20.920
<v Speaker 4>but your body changes so quickly.

0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Even me, I'm skinny, I don't.

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:23.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I've always wanted to be thicker, but I've

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 4>never had any like major body images issues because in

0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:27.399
<v Speaker 4>my head I think I.

0:49:27.360 --> 0:49:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Am thick and tall. But literally, when.

0:49:30.680 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Your body starts to gain weight that rapidly, it is

0:49:34.719 --> 0:49:38.319
<v Speaker 4>a strange ass feeling like you carry a child within

0:49:38.320 --> 0:49:40.520
<v Speaker 4>the nine you feel like an alien, like a nine

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:43.000

<v Speaker 3>I'm not trying to like devalue their feelings because a

0:52:11.280 --> 0:52:12.920
<v Speaker 3>lot of men will be like, well, i'm working, I'm

0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:15.399
<v Speaker 3>working double time now now I have a family to rise.

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully that's the kind of thing you're with.

0:52:19.760 --> 0:52:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, So uh yes, huh, Okay, guys go back over there,

0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 3>go and sit on the couch and watch Pepa. Yeah

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:39.360
<v Speaker 3>uh so, yeah, I mean, but they they get to

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:41.600
<v Speaker 3>go back to work, They get to go feel a.

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Sense of flamingo floating. What's happening? I don't love what?

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Why should I trying to like? Everything?

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Is that?

0:52:50.960 --> 0:52:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Take on a ride? I don't know. That is a

0:52:55.440 --> 0:52:57.640
<v Speaker 2>very small flamingo floating. I think it's for a cup.

0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:00.839
<v Speaker 2>And my daughter is sliding see the floor with it,

0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:03.359
<v Speaker 2>she's writing it. It's very strange.

0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:07.640
<v Speaker 3>But yes, I think men and I don't want to

0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:09.960
<v Speaker 3>discredit the man's feeling like I was saying, because I

0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:13.160
<v Speaker 3>know that they most good men will go and work

0:53:13.239 --> 0:53:15.480
<v Speaker 3>extra hours because they know the baby's coming, or try

0:53:15.520 --> 0:53:16.279
<v Speaker 3>to just figure out.

0:53:16.719 --> 0:53:18.640
<v Speaker 2>You got to figure it out. Shit, kids aren't cheap.

0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:23.400
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, like you, guys get to

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:23.879
<v Speaker 2>go to work.

0:53:23.920 --> 0:53:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Even going to work, you get if you're if you're

0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.319
<v Speaker 3>going to work hopefully, if you have a job you like,

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:30.440
<v Speaker 3>you feel a sense of achievement, you feel like you're

0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:33.560
<v Speaker 3>working towards something. You get to get out of your house,

0:53:33.680 --> 0:53:36.240
<v Speaker 3>you get to feel like something other.

0:53:36.080 --> 0:53:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Than a father for eight hours.

0:53:38.000 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Whereas mothers that are like living at home or at

0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:44.120
<v Speaker 3>home off of work for the next three to four months,

0:53:44.120 --> 0:53:47.920
<v Speaker 3>and this is their whole life. It's it's it's intense,

0:53:48.160 --> 0:53:50.839
<v Speaker 3>like feeling like, oh my god, this is I'm a mother.

0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Now that's it. I think I said only a mother.

0:53:53.360 --> 0:53:55.160
<v Speaker 4>As soon as I started to get those feelings of

0:53:55.239 --> 0:53:58.200
<v Speaker 4>like panicking, I remember taking learn into them all like

0:53:58.280 --> 0:54:00.839
<v Speaker 4>sixty days old. I didn't have to get at the mall.

0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:03.319
<v Speaker 4>I didn't need shit. I just was like, Okay, time

0:54:03.400 --> 0:54:05.120
<v Speaker 4>to get out the house. Let's get let's get this movie.

0:54:05.160 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 4>Let's show the baby the world. The baby just through

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:10.080
<v Speaker 4>the world. She's curious. I was like, I think I

0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:10.759
<v Speaker 4>got back to work.

0:54:10.960 --> 0:54:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I think I went back to work like two weeks later.

0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 4>I just took the baby with me because I was

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:19.480
<v Speaker 4>bored to death and I didn't I felt like my

0:54:19.640 --> 0:54:22.879
<v Speaker 4>life was dwindling away, like my normalcy, and I didn't

0:54:22.880 --> 0:54:25.160
<v Speaker 4>want to just like I've always had this fear, even

0:54:25.280 --> 0:54:27.040
<v Speaker 4>as like a kid, I'd be like a frum by

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:31.279
<v Speaker 4>van driving like T shirt wearing mom, and I never

0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:32.640
<v Speaker 4>wanted to be that, Like I want to be like

0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:35.840
<v Speaker 4>going on the go and like still fly and hot,

0:54:36.440 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 4>so I was.

0:54:37.000 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Just like, I think my anxiety kicked in the opposite way,

0:54:39.840 --> 0:54:40.560
<v Speaker 2>like I didn't want to not.

0:54:40.640 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Look No, mine was the other way. Mine was the

0:54:42.560 --> 0:54:44.279
<v Speaker 3>other way because I could. I took time off, you

0:54:44.280 --> 0:54:46.160
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean, I had the time off. I also,

0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:49.719
<v Speaker 3>you know, I was acting, and when I was doing

0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:51.680
<v Speaker 3>stuff for work, like I was always on camera. So

0:54:51.719 --> 0:54:52.920
<v Speaker 3>like I took the time off, and I was so

0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:54.640
<v Speaker 3>happy I didn't have to be on camera. I was like,

0:54:54.680 --> 0:54:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I cannot, you know, I don't feel comfortableing on here.

0:54:56.719 --> 0:54:58.279
<v Speaker 3>But then I put pressure on myself like I need

0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:00.000
<v Speaker 3>like at some point, I'm like I need to lose

0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:01.279
<v Speaker 3>this way at that point because it's some one I

0:55:01.280 --> 0:55:04.960
<v Speaker 3>gotta be on camera job. Yeah, I was just putting

0:55:05.000 --> 0:55:09.200
<v Speaker 3>too much pressure on myself. Anyway, back to okay, crying

0:55:09.200 --> 0:55:13.080
<v Speaker 3>for no parent reason. I think mood swings, which you

0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:17.840
<v Speaker 3>know we have to experience anyway, feeling overwhelmed. Change and

0:55:17.880 --> 0:55:22.279
<v Speaker 3>eating or sleeping, I mean that's pretty. That's pretty. I

0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:25.360
<v Speaker 3>mean change in eating or sleeping, that's every that's just

0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 3>bound to happen.

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:28.400
<v Speaker 2>You're not sleeping the same ever.

0:55:28.239 --> 0:55:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Again, No interesting your baby thoughts of hurting yourself or

0:55:32.400 --> 0:55:34.839
<v Speaker 3>your baby that's the biggest one.

0:55:34.880 --> 0:55:37.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's the one that's I mean with that,

0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:39.759
<v Speaker 4>if you're experiencing that, you need to recognize that that's

0:55:39.800 --> 0:55:41.759
<v Speaker 4>what it is, and you need to ask anyone you

0:55:41.760 --> 0:55:44.160
<v Speaker 4>can think of who you trusts, to take the baby

0:55:44.239 --> 0:55:46.399
<v Speaker 4>and go check in somewhere and get help, because there

0:55:46.440 --> 0:55:48.600
<v Speaker 4>is help and it does exist, and it's normal. It's

0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:51.320
<v Speaker 4>not like you're a monster. You're not a bad person.

0:55:51.920 --> 0:55:53.960
<v Speaker 4>It's just like the hormones are real.

0:55:54.000 --> 0:55:54.719
<v Speaker 2>That shit is real.

0:55:55.520 --> 0:55:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like feeling feelings of guilt and worthlessness, I felt

0:55:59.000 --> 0:56:03.560
<v Speaker 3>that way. I felt feelings of guilt and worth worthlessness.

0:56:04.320 --> 0:56:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it's a guilt stemming from I think I felt guilty.

0:56:07.440 --> 0:56:10.319
<v Speaker 3>I felt guilty like I never felt like I was

0:56:10.360 --> 0:56:12.200
<v Speaker 3>doing it, like I wasn't good enough, like it was

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:14.520
<v Speaker 3>never doing enough to be a good mother, like I

0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:17.360
<v Speaker 3>have those feelings now. Then I felt guilty, like leaving,

0:56:17.560 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 3>like if I ever wanted to leave, Like it's too

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:20.319
<v Speaker 3>early to leave.

0:56:20.320 --> 0:56:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaving. I'm guilty, I'm not a good mom. I

0:56:22.400 --> 0:56:23.160
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't go do this.

0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:25.319
<v Speaker 3>I stay here all the time, like I wanted to,

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:28.520
<v Speaker 3>like get away. But then I also felt guilty about

0:56:28.520 --> 0:56:30.840
<v Speaker 3>getting away That's another thing that was.

0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:34.080
<v Speaker 4>Like those weird pressures and expectations and shit that people

0:56:34.120 --> 0:56:36.680
<v Speaker 4>put on you, because people have all, oh you're leaving already,

0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:38.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh you're going already, are you sure?

0:56:38.360 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh you want to go out? Or you're drinking. You know,

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:42.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like, yeah, bitch, I haven't drinking nine fucking months.

0:56:42.600 --> 0:56:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna kill myself. Do you think it's true? It's true.

0:56:48.440 --> 0:56:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's so many different signs, and like I think,

0:56:51.320 --> 0:56:53.000
<v Speaker 3>like I was saying, it's so important that if you

0:56:53.040 --> 0:56:55.120
<v Speaker 3>have if you do have a partner, your family members,

0:56:55.920 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 3>like if you're listening to this and maybe you're not

0:56:58.760 --> 0:57:01.640
<v Speaker 3>a mother or or like maybe you have someone in

0:57:01.680 --> 0:57:04.279
<v Speaker 3>your life that is going to be or is but

0:57:04.400 --> 0:57:09.080
<v Speaker 3>maybe your wife or your sister or whatever. There's just

0:57:09.120 --> 0:57:13.080
<v Speaker 3>different ways that you can help someone who's going through postpartum.

0:57:14.000 --> 0:57:15.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean it sounds like I just asking are you cool?

0:57:15.920 --> 0:57:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Like my mom kept asking like fifty million times, like

0:57:18.160 --> 0:57:20.280
<v Speaker 2>how are you feeling? And my mom, what are you

0:57:20.280 --> 0:57:22.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about? Now? I see what she was like trying

0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:24.280
<v Speaker 2>to get at. But you know, sometimes you gotta be

0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:24.640
<v Speaker 2>straight up.

0:57:24.680 --> 0:57:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sometimes you gotta be straight up, and then you know,

0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:29.680
<v Speaker 3>making sure that if they do know they're in postpartum,

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:31.800
<v Speaker 3>letting them know that this is not their fault, because

0:57:31.800 --> 0:57:34.000
<v Speaker 3>it's not. They can't control it. All they can do

0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:37.040
<v Speaker 3>is try their best to make maybe take steps in

0:57:37.160 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 3>like in a more positive way to try to get

0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:42.640
<v Speaker 3>out of it. Yeah, it's not guaranteed to work, but

0:57:43.160 --> 0:57:43.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean shit.

0:57:44.840 --> 0:57:50.160
<v Speaker 4>And then we've even touched on in our research. We

0:57:50.200 --> 0:57:54.840
<v Speaker 4>haven't discussed yet the postpartum that women who've experienced miscarriages

0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:57.520
<v Speaker 4>are still births experience, which I can only imagine is

0:57:57.560 --> 0:57:58.880
<v Speaker 4>on a completely different level.

0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:02.640
<v Speaker 2>That's like something that people never talk about. Never.

0:58:02.720 --> 0:58:04.720
<v Speaker 3>It's like you don't talk about how you feel after

0:58:04.760 --> 0:58:06.640
<v Speaker 3>an abortion. It's like it's like it's done.

0:58:06.640 --> 0:58:07.160
<v Speaker 2>It's done.

0:58:07.400 --> 0:58:09.440
<v Speaker 6>Abortion was not on the list. It was a miscarriage

0:58:09.560 --> 0:58:19.320
<v Speaker 6>or so guilty collegence. I mean, I mean the same thing.

0:58:19.440 --> 0:58:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Though they need to add that to.

0:58:22.160 --> 0:58:25.400
<v Speaker 4>The less because even though it's a choice, choice still hurts.

0:58:25.400 --> 0:58:28.000
<v Speaker 3>But had to well, no, sometimes you have to get

0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:30.560
<v Speaker 3>abortions too, Like I feel like your life is in danger, you.

0:58:30.600 --> 0:58:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Know, like some people have like bad pregnant bag child

0:58:34.240 --> 0:58:37.240
<v Speaker 4>burbs or whatever, you know, Like yeah, I mean, I

0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:37.880
<v Speaker 4>mean I had an.

0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Abortion in like or like you're raped or like.

0:58:41.120 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I actually met someone who was the product

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:47.120
<v Speaker 4>of a rape. I think it was like a Christian

0:58:47.840 --> 0:58:50.480
<v Speaker 4>a Christian camp. She talked to us, So even that

0:58:50.520 --> 0:58:52.640
<v Speaker 4>made me feel a certain way. So, I mean, this

0:58:52.680 --> 0:58:54.600
<v Speaker 4>is not a conversation about pro life for poor choice,

0:58:54.600 --> 0:58:58.240
<v Speaker 4>because obviously we're both pro choice, right Huh.

0:59:00.160 --> 0:59:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I quit, come on, I can't go further me. Actually,

0:59:06.000 --> 0:59:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm very prolific. We found horrible make America great.

0:59:11.640 --> 0:59:15.120
<v Speaker 4>But I mean, but that is actually a good that's

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:17.360
<v Speaker 4>a good ad because it's true. Even though I mean,

0:59:17.360 --> 0:59:19.959
<v Speaker 4>people take away from that, especially young girls or people

0:59:20.040 --> 0:59:21.600
<v Speaker 4>don't want to tell their parents or whatever, because that

0:59:21.680 --> 0:59:24.920
<v Speaker 4>was you know, that's the case. I'm damn grateful for

0:59:25.360 --> 0:59:28.320
<v Speaker 4>the high school since you play in parenthood because I mean, yeah,

0:59:28.360 --> 0:59:28.840
<v Speaker 4>think about it.

0:59:28.920 --> 0:59:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Just think about a girl who's in high school who like,

0:59:31.640 --> 0:59:33.600
<v Speaker 3>doesn't want to get an abortion, but doesn't know how

0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:36.480
<v Speaker 3>to tell her parents, and she doesn't have any education,

0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:40.000
<v Speaker 3>so she goes against the abortion that maybe she didn't

0:59:40.000 --> 0:59:42.240
<v Speaker 3>have to get, you know what I mean, maybe she does,

0:59:42.320 --> 0:59:44.200
<v Speaker 3>maybe the baby wasn't going to live a great life,

0:59:44.320 --> 0:59:46.880
<v Speaker 3>but now she's depressed because she didn't feel like she

0:59:47.000 --> 0:59:48.400
<v Speaker 3>had any other choice, and.

0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:50.360
<v Speaker 4>She didn't even know that what post part of it

0:59:50.480 --> 0:59:52.040
<v Speaker 4>is or that she's experiencing it.

0:59:52.200 --> 0:59:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is that a late term abortion, because miscarriages

0:59:56.160 --> 0:59:58.480
<v Speaker 3>and abortions can happen in the same time in the

0:59:58.520 --> 1:00:02.919
<v Speaker 3>time same time frame, I mean, you know, because I mean.

1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 2>One is farther long than the other.

1:00:04.560 --> 1:00:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And then like I found myself like I've been

1:00:07.520 --> 1:00:11.880
<v Speaker 4>insensitive before, Like I know someone she's kind of young,

1:00:11.960 --> 1:00:14.480
<v Speaker 4>so maybe that's where I'm like judging. She had like

1:00:14.520 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 4>a miscarriaget like ten weeks and she got like the

1:00:20.400 --> 1:00:24.000
<v Speaker 4>time tattooed on her and she's like always wants to

1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:27.560
<v Speaker 4>like put Mother's Day, Like, well, maybe she was really

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:31.280
<v Speaker 4>looking forward to I know. But I'm like, okay, that

1:00:31.440 --> 1:00:32.520
<v Speaker 4>makes me sound like a bitch.

1:00:34.320 --> 1:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean I get it, I get it. You're like, girl,

1:00:36.480 --> 1:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>you aren't.

1:00:36.880 --> 1:00:39.120
<v Speaker 3>You don't need that child, You're not you It's like,

1:00:39.160 --> 1:00:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, so you're not ready for that child.

1:00:40.960 --> 1:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just a bit much. But I mean, who

1:00:42.880 --> 1:00:44.400
<v Speaker 2>am I'm never had a miscarriage.

1:00:44.600 --> 1:00:48.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean I can understand more so like someone miscarriaging

1:00:48.480 --> 1:00:51.320
<v Speaker 4>after four, five, six months, especially.

1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Like a still birth after you've carried a child.

1:00:53.120 --> 1:00:54.920
<v Speaker 3>You know what about the people that are like I

1:00:55.080 --> 1:00:57.440
<v Speaker 3>been trying to get preged for a long time and

1:00:57.480 --> 1:00:59.520
<v Speaker 3>then they do, and then they you know, it's just

1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:02.280
<v Speaker 3>it's just there's so many different like ways either way.

1:01:02.320 --> 1:01:05.360
<v Speaker 2>If you're pregnant once and then you're not, you can

1:01:05.400 --> 1:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>experience most partum.

1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:13.240
<v Speaker 4>Because it is hard. And then there's also the notes

1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:16.479
<v Speaker 4>and a natal depression. I just played that word today,

1:01:17.240 --> 1:01:20.480
<v Speaker 4>which is eleven point five percent people experience, and that's

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:23.479
<v Speaker 4>usually within your third try master that's before you give birth,

1:01:23.520 --> 1:01:24.880
<v Speaker 4>which I didn't even know that she existed.

1:01:24.880 --> 1:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know this word. And a natal now

1:01:27.120 --> 1:01:29.240
<v Speaker 2>you know it, but that exists too.

1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:30.760
<v Speaker 4>So if you're in your you know, you're getting big

1:01:30.760 --> 1:01:32.800
<v Speaker 4>and fat and it's time about that time and you're

1:01:32.800 --> 1:01:36.160
<v Speaker 4>feeling depressed, that's also a thing. So it's not anything

1:01:36.200 --> 1:01:39.000
<v Speaker 4>to like maybe I had that because you saw like

1:01:39.080 --> 1:01:41.320
<v Speaker 4>towards the end, yeah, I mean, you know what, it's

1:01:41.320 --> 1:01:43.680
<v Speaker 4>also hard to differentiate because at the end you're so

1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:45.920
<v Speaker 4>fat and so uncomfortable and so out of breath.

1:01:46.160 --> 1:01:47.960
<v Speaker 2>You don't know if it's depression or you're just pissed.

1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Like my friend literally right now, just text me Nishe

1:01:51.640 --> 1:01:56.600
<v Speaker 3>shout out to nishe hang, and she just wrote, I'm waddling. Yeah,

1:01:56.800 --> 1:02:00.600
<v Speaker 3>I think at birth in like next month, and she's literally,

1:02:00.640 --> 1:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm waddling.

1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>I feel different today than I did four days ago.

1:02:03.480 --> 1:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck? That's literally what she just texted me, right,

1:02:05.840 --> 1:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>because that shit is real. Four days can go by

1:02:08.720 --> 1:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and you feel like you just grew times four. Yeah, yeah,

1:02:12.200 --> 1:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>it's true. It's like you just I mean, it's a bizarre,

1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>trippy experience. It's so bizarre. It's bizarre.

1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:22.760
<v Speaker 4>And I would really say that the birth part was

1:02:22.800 --> 1:02:26.920
<v Speaker 4>like the least not bizarre, like the it's not the

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:27.560
<v Speaker 4>least trying.

1:02:27.600 --> 1:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess the whole thing is pretty intense. The whole

1:02:29.720 --> 1:02:33.760
<v Speaker 2>thing is very intense. Did you, oh mae see section ocause?

1:02:33.920 --> 1:02:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so I didn't want to have a berth in

1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:38.600
<v Speaker 4>the hospital, but I did, and I didn't want to

1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:42.000
<v Speaker 4>get a pre a epidural because I was on some

1:02:42.080 --> 1:02:44.960
<v Speaker 4>hippie shit, but then two days later I did. So

1:02:46.000 --> 1:02:48.080
<v Speaker 4>as I'm giving birth, they ask you if you wanted

1:02:48.360 --> 1:02:51.480
<v Speaker 4>the mirror like to watch it, and I said, hell, yeah, Like,

1:02:51.720 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how manyime I'm gonna do this.

1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to I want to see this shit.

1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:56.560
<v Speaker 4>And literally in my birth video you can hear me

1:02:56.600 --> 1:02:58.880
<v Speaker 4>say her head comes out. I said, oh my god,

1:02:59.680 --> 1:03:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, this is crazy.

1:03:03.360 --> 1:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>And I said, oh my god, this is crazy. It

1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>is crazy. It looks like I feel like I was

1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>in the movie Alien.

1:03:10.200 --> 1:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>I was so dragged down and see anything. I'm so

1:03:12.120 --> 1:03:14.080
<v Speaker 3>jealous that you got to see that girl. I was

1:03:14.240 --> 1:03:16.920
<v Speaker 3>a little uh whatever the back one, but I was

1:03:17.000 --> 1:03:18.760
<v Speaker 3>fully aware to see that baby pop out of that

1:03:18.800 --> 1:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>koushi and I was like, this looks insane, dude.

1:03:23.080 --> 1:03:24.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's cool to think of, like where the

1:03:25.080 --> 1:03:27.800
<v Speaker 4>where the portal, Like we are the closet bert trap.

1:03:27.800 --> 1:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Earth is the closest thing you'll ever get to the Maker,

1:03:29.920 --> 1:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>whoever you believe in, whatever you believe is on the

1:03:31.560 --> 1:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>other side.

1:03:32.280 --> 1:03:35.400
<v Speaker 4>We literally become the portal for the he the Heaven's

1:03:35.440 --> 1:03:38.480
<v Speaker 4>gate to Earth. So it is like I always think

1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:41.120
<v Speaker 4>of it as a rite of passage too, Like it's

1:03:41.120 --> 1:03:43.560
<v Speaker 4>a it's an intense experience, but once you get over

1:03:43.640 --> 1:03:46.360
<v Speaker 4>the hump and the transition, you know there's light at

1:03:46.360 --> 1:03:47.200
<v Speaker 4>the end of the tunnel.

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>There is there's you know, there's a few ways I

1:03:50.800 --> 1:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>think that. I mean, I know helped me get out

1:03:53.040 --> 1:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>of Sorry, let me tell that Peter's thoughts to die.

1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>There is I mean, I know there's been a few

1:04:09.280 --> 1:04:12.880
<v Speaker 3>ways that really helped me get out of my postpartum depression.

1:04:13.840 --> 1:04:16.440
<v Speaker 3>I kind of just one day I lived in the

1:04:16.480 --> 1:04:19.160
<v Speaker 3>mirror and I was just like, I am so tired.

1:04:18.920 --> 1:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Of feeling like this.

1:04:20.040 --> 1:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Like it's like it's like I hit my my breaking point,

1:04:23.880 --> 1:04:27.680
<v Speaker 3>and I was like I just had to remember, like

1:04:27.880 --> 1:04:31.160
<v Speaker 3>how who I was before this, and that's and I'm

1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:32.080
<v Speaker 3>still that person.

1:04:32.720 --> 1:04:34.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's like you start feeling like no, you're not. No,

1:04:34.840 --> 1:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>you're not you don't look say or you're not allowed

1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to be that person.

1:04:37.360 --> 1:04:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're you're not allowed to be. Like I can't

1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>do I can't. I can't do this, I can't do that.

1:04:41.360 --> 1:04:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't smoke weed, I can't go get drunk, I

1:04:43.040 --> 1:04:45.560
<v Speaker 3>can't look at me, I can't party, I can't travel,

1:04:45.720 --> 1:04:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I can't, I can't.

1:04:46.600 --> 1:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>There's so many fucking I can't. But that doesn't exist.

1:04:49.080 --> 1:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>That's bullshit. No, it really doesn't exist.

1:04:51.320 --> 1:04:52.880
<v Speaker 4>It's in your head and it's in everybody else's head.

1:04:52.920 --> 1:04:54.320
<v Speaker 4>And anyone who thinks that flocked.

1:04:54.080 --> 1:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Them seriously fuck them. It's everything you can you can't, okay.

1:04:58.320 --> 1:05:00.920
<v Speaker 3>And one of the first thing that really helped me

1:05:01.000 --> 1:05:02.920
<v Speaker 3>get out of it was working out. I know it

1:05:03.000 --> 1:05:05.800
<v Speaker 3>sounds so taboo like it sounds like, oh yeah, of

1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:09.200
<v Speaker 3>course working out, but like, seriously, you have got to

1:05:09.240 --> 1:05:10.720
<v Speaker 3>get out of your house. And it doesn't mean you

1:05:10.760 --> 1:05:12.680
<v Speaker 3>have to go like run a mile, like just start

1:05:12.720 --> 1:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>with the walk around the block, you know, like even

1:05:16.160 --> 1:05:19.040
<v Speaker 3>if I'm with your stroller or like maybe you need

1:05:19.080 --> 1:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>to like be like love, husband, wife, grandma, I need

1:05:23.280 --> 1:05:25.959
<v Speaker 3>an hour today. Don't be afraid to ask for help,

1:05:25.960 --> 1:05:28.120
<v Speaker 3>because sometimes I'd be like I need an hour or anything.

1:05:28.760 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Demand it. Yeah, I need.

1:05:30.880 --> 1:05:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Help, and you need don't be afraid to ask for help.

1:05:33.200 --> 1:05:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Don't try to do everything on your own. And then

1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:40.080
<v Speaker 3>meditation helped me. And I'm like, I'm like the fake

1:05:40.160 --> 1:05:42.240
<v Speaker 3>hippie over here. It looks more hippie than me, but

1:05:42.920 --> 1:05:45.360
<v Speaker 3>I do do I really do meditate. I try to

1:05:45.360 --> 1:05:47.960
<v Speaker 3>meditate every day I get I skip, like I'll.

1:05:47.800 --> 1:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Go in silence or you have like a thing.

1:05:52.560 --> 1:05:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I do and I like guided meditations, yeah, because I'm

1:05:56.120 --> 1:05:57.560
<v Speaker 3>That's what I was gonna ask you. So I like

1:05:57.720 --> 1:06:00.960
<v Speaker 3>the app headspace, I really like a lot. Oh, it's

1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:04.640
<v Speaker 3>really good. Headspace is good. Sometimes I put on YouTube videos.

1:06:05.080 --> 1:06:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes if I go on a hike, I'll just take a.

1:06:07.000 --> 1:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Second and just sit, not too long so I don't

1:06:09.800 --> 1:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>fall asleep. You can fall asleep on a hike if

1:06:13.600 --> 1:06:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm comfy.

1:06:16.760 --> 1:06:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes I like to do Nomino home rang gyey kyo,

1:06:18.920 --> 1:06:21.440
<v Speaker 4>nommeo ho rang ye kyos because then I remember to

1:06:21.600 --> 1:06:23.720
<v Speaker 4>like be mindful and not fall asleep.

1:06:25.000 --> 1:06:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Yoga helped me because.

1:06:29.000 --> 1:06:31.240
<v Speaker 3>I was doing hot yoga, so I was like working

1:06:31.280 --> 1:06:34.200
<v Speaker 3>out intensely sweating, so I felt like it was so

1:06:34.320 --> 1:06:37.040
<v Speaker 3>uncomfortable that my brain I literally couldn't think of anything

1:06:37.040 --> 1:06:40.000
<v Speaker 3>because when I was in my depression, I was just

1:06:40.000 --> 1:06:42.680
<v Speaker 3>always had anxiety, always thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking that what

1:06:42.720 --> 1:06:43.160
<v Speaker 3>was my future?

1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>What's my future?

1:06:44.400 --> 1:06:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Did I do Launce? I make enough milk for her

1:06:47.640 --> 1:06:48.880
<v Speaker 3>for me to go be here right now?

1:06:48.880 --> 1:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Did I?

1:06:49.400 --> 1:06:49.640
<v Speaker 4>You know?

1:06:50.080 --> 1:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>And so it kind of shut that down for me.

1:06:52.520 --> 1:06:54.240
<v Speaker 3>And I was also like working on a losing weight

1:06:54.240 --> 1:06:56.400
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, so I saw results. I was like,

1:06:56.600 --> 1:06:58.240
<v Speaker 3>I saw results mentally and physically.

1:06:58.400 --> 1:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Yoga is a big deal.

1:06:59.760 --> 1:07:01.600
<v Speaker 4>I didn't realize what a big deal it was until

1:07:01.880 --> 1:07:04.720
<v Speaker 4>like right after I got out of my relationship, I

1:07:04.760 --> 1:07:06.560
<v Speaker 4>went I started to do yoga a little bit, and

1:07:06.760 --> 1:07:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I went to yoga class and I've got into a

1:07:09.000 --> 1:07:12.440
<v Speaker 4>stretch and literally I just started to cry, and I'm like,

1:07:12.680 --> 1:07:13.280
<v Speaker 4>this is weird.

1:07:13.280 --> 1:07:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even like a cry baby type bitch.

1:07:15.360 --> 1:07:17.720
<v Speaker 4>So but later yoga check it told me she's like

1:07:17.760 --> 1:07:19.880
<v Speaker 4>she she stretched one way and she was like, I

1:07:20.000 --> 1:07:21.280
<v Speaker 4>was just laughing hysterically.

1:07:21.280 --> 1:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know why.

1:07:21.840 --> 1:07:23.720
<v Speaker 4>And then I stretched the other leg a certain way

1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:26.320
<v Speaker 4>and I just start to ball out of control. And

1:07:26.360 --> 1:07:29.160
<v Speaker 4>she's like telling us how different stretches of different places

1:07:29.160 --> 1:07:31.040
<v Speaker 4>in your body physically can.

1:07:30.920 --> 1:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Hold different emotions. So I mean, you know our physical selves.

1:07:34.880 --> 1:07:39.800
<v Speaker 4>That really that yoga does intertwine with the meditative spiritual

1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:40.720
<v Speaker 4>growth too.

1:07:40.800 --> 1:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>That's a good.

1:07:41.280 --> 1:07:45.320
<v Speaker 3>One that And Okay, so if your if your postpartum

1:07:45.400 --> 1:07:48.880
<v Speaker 3>is really bad, I mean any type of postpartum, if

1:07:48.920 --> 1:07:52.919
<v Speaker 3>you can go seek help, go talk to someone about it.

1:07:52.960 --> 1:07:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Because I didn't realize I had postpartum until I go

1:07:56.840 --> 1:07:59.160
<v Speaker 3>to therapy, and so like, I didn't realize I had

1:07:59.160 --> 1:08:02.360
<v Speaker 3>postpartum until I was in therapy. She told you, she

1:08:02.400 --> 1:08:03.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't even tell me. I was like, I came to

1:08:03.840 --> 1:08:07.720
<v Speaker 3>the realization myself really, and I was like, what. And

1:08:07.760 --> 1:08:10.280
<v Speaker 3>same with my one of my friends, who's who is

1:08:10.320 --> 1:08:14.040
<v Speaker 3>even currently right now battling postpartum and much more severely

1:08:14.080 --> 1:08:16.559
<v Speaker 3>than I did. She said she didn't realize she was

1:08:16.560 --> 1:08:18.360
<v Speaker 3>in postpartum either, and then she but she was like,

1:08:18.439 --> 1:08:19.960
<v Speaker 3>I know these thoughts are not normal.

1:08:20.000 --> 1:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I need to go see someone.

1:08:21.240 --> 1:08:24.479
<v Speaker 3>And she was diagnosed with it, So don't feel ashamed

1:08:24.479 --> 1:08:27.280
<v Speaker 3>about talking about it with people. You need to talk

1:08:27.320 --> 1:08:29.640
<v Speaker 3>to your partner about it. You need she needs to

1:08:30.080 --> 1:08:34.080
<v Speaker 3>educate themselves. You know, they need to be reliable. They

1:08:34.120 --> 1:08:36.320
<v Speaker 3>need to be reliable for you during that time. Like

1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:38.320
<v Speaker 3>if you are dealing with someone who has postpartum, it

1:08:38.400 --> 1:08:40.360
<v Speaker 3>is so important that you're reliable for them. If you

1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:43.120
<v Speaker 3>say you're gonna be home at seven, be home at seven, yeah,

1:08:43.160 --> 1:08:44.679
<v Speaker 3>please don't be home at ten.

1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:45.240
<v Speaker 2>No.

1:08:45.400 --> 1:08:47.439
<v Speaker 3>And that's not just some like woman like needy shit,

1:08:47.560 --> 1:08:49.200
<v Speaker 3>that's like real, like we need a break.

1:08:49.280 --> 1:08:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and guys or whoever like, don't I've seen my

1:08:54.240 --> 1:08:57.960
<v Speaker 4>friends do this or people like don't don't like cop

1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:00.760
<v Speaker 4>out with the you're the mom, but you're the mom,

1:09:01.000 --> 1:09:02.360
<v Speaker 4>but you're I've heard that.

1:09:02.400 --> 1:09:04.479
<v Speaker 2>She's so many times I'm like, and I'm gonna kill you.

1:09:05.240 --> 1:09:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm the mom that was on snapped.

1:09:06.439 --> 1:09:10.680
<v Speaker 3>And you didn't mind making me a mom, right, so help? Yeah,

1:09:10.800 --> 1:09:13.840
<v Speaker 3>And and try to just just help out do things

1:09:13.840 --> 1:09:17.000
<v Speaker 3>without her asking. That's damn near impossible. I know that this,

1:09:17.000 --> 1:09:20.120
<v Speaker 3>this this tip is damn near impossible for y'all. Okay,

1:09:20.760 --> 1:09:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Like for those that are self aware, try to do

1:09:24.840 --> 1:09:27.360
<v Speaker 3>some housework, anything to make her life a little bit

1:09:27.400 --> 1:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>easier without her having to ask.

1:09:29.680 --> 1:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>She needs to feel appreciated.

1:09:31.200 --> 1:09:33.320
<v Speaker 4>Like if you're just chilling on the couch and she's

1:09:33.320 --> 1:09:36.479
<v Speaker 4>trying to get dressed, get the baby, right, if you

1:09:36.479 --> 1:09:40.600
<v Speaker 4>can assist in getting the baby dressed, do that, because.

1:09:40.320 --> 1:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'll say.

1:09:41.040 --> 1:09:43.599
<v Speaker 4>Also, I feel like, no matter how much your partner helps,

1:09:44.680 --> 1:09:47.240
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna you're gonna still feel like, oh fuck, everything's

1:09:47.240 --> 1:09:47.479
<v Speaker 4>on me.

1:09:47.520 --> 1:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're still gonna resent them a little bit. That's

1:09:49.360 --> 1:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>normal because that's let's be real, that's mom. That's like

1:09:52.200 --> 1:09:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the part of the role.

1:09:53.120 --> 1:09:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Of the mone We have a bigger role initially, and

1:09:56.560 --> 1:09:58.000
<v Speaker 3>sometimes we resent them for that.

1:09:58.200 --> 1:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's just the way of the world. Like

1:10:00.000 --> 1:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>they don't have breast milk, Yeah, it's not there. They

1:10:02.320 --> 1:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>can't hate them for it. Yes, I do.

1:10:05.439 --> 1:10:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Another thing I experienced, which I don't think is necessarily depression,

1:10:09.040 --> 1:10:12.200
<v Speaker 4>But this is just for people who are just having kids.

1:10:12.640 --> 1:10:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Did you experience like I.

1:10:13.880 --> 1:10:16.360
<v Speaker 4>Would have really off the wall thoughts like oh my god,

1:10:16.360 --> 1:10:18.640
<v Speaker 4>what if she falls down, rolls off the cliff, Like

1:10:18.680 --> 1:10:21.280
<v Speaker 4>I would think of really extreme situations like oh my god,

1:10:21.280 --> 1:10:22.240
<v Speaker 4>what if that falls.

1:10:21.960 --> 1:10:23.920
<v Speaker 2>On her head? Like I would just think of super

1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>and I and my friend had to tell me she

1:10:25.880 --> 1:10:28.120
<v Speaker 2>has three kids, and she was like, no, that's normal.

1:10:28.160 --> 1:10:30.479
<v Speaker 4>But that's your body training you to be prepared, prepared

1:10:30.520 --> 1:10:31.120
<v Speaker 4>for anything.

1:10:31.200 --> 1:10:34.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not weird. You're not having that Mama Bear's like,

1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>you're not having dark thoughts.

1:10:35.120 --> 1:10:37.680
<v Speaker 4>You're just thinking of all the possibilities, which is that's

1:10:37.840 --> 1:10:38.920
<v Speaker 4>that's normal as a mom.

1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Like Okay, get down, because I no, I'm not saying

1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>them get down. I say because you.

1:10:42.920 --> 1:10:44.880
<v Speaker 4>Know, you're just like your brain is beginning to train

1:10:45.080 --> 1:10:48.040
<v Speaker 4>to basically have your ears and eyes open in a

1:10:48.040 --> 1:10:49.479
<v Speaker 4>fifty mile radius at all times.

1:10:49.720 --> 1:10:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Right, No, for sure, for sure?

1:10:52.760 --> 1:10:57.320
<v Speaker 3>And I think also making sure you get her out

1:10:58.040 --> 1:10:59.519
<v Speaker 3>date night once a.

1:10:59.439 --> 1:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Week, want to get cute, get a sitter, whatever you

1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>got to do. You can do once a week. It

1:11:03.640 --> 1:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have to you don't have to spend money.

1:11:05.560 --> 1:11:10.000
<v Speaker 3>You just go on a walk together, like seriously, like

1:11:10.720 --> 1:11:13.240
<v Speaker 3>anything to make But you know, taking her out.

1:11:13.120 --> 1:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>On a date was always ideal. I mean if your.

1:11:18.920 --> 1:11:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Because I want to like ideally take her somewhere where

1:11:21.760 --> 1:11:25.439
<v Speaker 3>she needs to get dressed so she can get out.

1:11:25.320 --> 1:11:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Of Mommy's an event she needs to.

1:11:27.160 --> 1:11:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Get out of mommy from led her to you're taking

1:11:30.320 --> 1:11:32.400
<v Speaker 3>her somewhere nice. You would have to spend that coin

1:11:32.479 --> 1:11:34.519
<v Speaker 3>that day, so you're gonna have to save all week,

1:11:34.800 --> 1:11:35.559
<v Speaker 3>but trust me.

1:11:35.840 --> 1:11:38.719
<v Speaker 4>It's worth it for the headache that you'll be resolved

1:11:38.720 --> 1:11:39.680
<v Speaker 4>from exactly.

1:11:39.960 --> 1:11:43.000
<v Speaker 3>So I just think like that, and then also being

1:11:43.040 --> 1:11:46.080
<v Speaker 3>patient with her sex drive because I think a lot's

1:11:46.120 --> 1:11:46.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of pressure too.

1:11:46.960 --> 1:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>We just gave a birth and now you want to

1:11:48.680 --> 1:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>put hormones affect that too. Yeah, Like I wasn't horning

1:11:52.920 --> 1:11:55.639
<v Speaker 2>it all during pregnans me neither at all.

1:11:55.760 --> 1:11:59.360
<v Speaker 4>Like all I was like the most yeasty I've ever

1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:01.320
<v Speaker 4>been in my life, and I wanted to kill myself

1:12:01.960 --> 1:12:03.760
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't want a dick to be anywhere close

1:12:03.800 --> 1:12:06.200
<v Speaker 4>to like get that ship out of my face. So

1:12:06.320 --> 1:12:09.360
<v Speaker 4>like slowly after it came back. But yeah, yeah, be patient,

1:12:09.439 --> 1:12:11.920
<v Speaker 4>I know. And you know, look, Pamela goes a long way, fellas.

1:12:11.920 --> 1:12:13.439
<v Speaker 4>I know you guys do it all day anyway, what

1:12:13.520 --> 1:12:14.000
<v Speaker 4>does it.

1:12:13.920 --> 1:12:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Pamela, Pamela, Oh, Papa.

1:12:19.840 --> 1:12:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I was like, palm oil. Who's that a new masturbation oil? Organic?

1:12:24.560 --> 1:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Like jacking off? Oh yeah yeah. Just and and one more.

1:12:30.600 --> 1:12:36.120
<v Speaker 4>Last advice for moms. I think in general, you know,

1:12:36.400 --> 1:12:39.839
<v Speaker 4>like you just have to relax, like chill out. Baby's

1:12:39.880 --> 1:12:43.320
<v Speaker 4>gonna be babies, babies are gonna cry. Don't take everybody's

1:12:43.360 --> 1:12:45.880
<v Speaker 4>advice so literally, like if you listen to everybody, you'll

1:12:45.880 --> 1:12:48.680
<v Speaker 4>stress yourself the fuck out. Stay in tune with yourself,

1:12:48.840 --> 1:12:51.759
<v Speaker 4>like do what the fuck you want to do. Connect

1:12:51.800 --> 1:12:53.519
<v Speaker 4>with who you used to be because you're still that person.

1:12:53.600 --> 1:12:56.439
<v Speaker 4>You don't have to transform into this new woman. And

1:12:56.600 --> 1:12:59.200
<v Speaker 4>just don't like helicopter kid your kid all the time.

1:12:59.280 --> 1:13:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Like people sho developed that habit after baby too.

1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:05.360
<v Speaker 4>But I'm like super chillaxed because even my friends, I'm like, girl,

1:13:05.439 --> 1:13:07.280
<v Speaker 4>let her live, she's fine.

1:13:07.400 --> 1:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Is she killing anyone? She's fine? You know.

1:13:09.760 --> 1:13:11.599
<v Speaker 4>And I think some people have like all these pressures

1:13:11.600 --> 1:13:13.320
<v Speaker 4>from like how they're supposed to mom or what their

1:13:13.360 --> 1:13:15.680
<v Speaker 4>their kids are supposed to do and their kids are

1:13:15.680 --> 1:13:18.120
<v Speaker 4>supposed to behave and like the kids are kids, their children,

1:13:18.160 --> 1:13:20.800
<v Speaker 4>they're learning, and it's okay to like allow them to

1:13:20.840 --> 1:13:21.200
<v Speaker 4>do that.

1:13:21.240 --> 1:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>So don't feel like you have to like be a

1:13:24.080 --> 1:13:24.919
<v Speaker 2>certain way.

1:13:25.120 --> 1:13:28.559
<v Speaker 3>No, you don't, you really don't. I fell into that,

1:13:28.720 --> 1:13:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, and it took me a while. I

1:13:30.240 --> 1:13:32.400
<v Speaker 3>don't even know why I fell into it. It's like

1:13:32.720 --> 1:13:36.120
<v Speaker 3>this wasn't anyone's fault except my own, but I just

1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:39.479
<v Speaker 3>felt like, no, I can't do this anymore. I can't

1:13:39.479 --> 1:13:40.160
<v Speaker 3>do that anymore.

1:13:40.200 --> 1:13:41.920
<v Speaker 2>It took me a while to like, can I wear

1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>this on somebody's mom? No, but she if I can

1:13:44.160 --> 1:13:46.080
<v Speaker 2>fit it, I can wear. It wasn't the clothes. It

1:13:46.120 --> 1:13:47.240
<v Speaker 2>was more like what I could.

1:13:47.080 --> 1:13:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Do socially, Yeah, yeah, Like I can't be out here,

1:13:50.560 --> 1:13:51.000
<v Speaker 3>like I'm not.

1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I can't. I can't get high. I'm tired already, and

1:13:53.840 --> 1:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>plus like what do I look like being high?

1:13:55.680 --> 1:13:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Right?

1:13:55.800 --> 1:14:00.160
<v Speaker 2>And like also like the father and my child's.

1:14:00.320 --> 1:14:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Non stop and I would be so annoyed when I

1:14:02.680 --> 1:14:04.920
<v Speaker 3>was pregnant and he would be smoking all the time,

1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:06.679
<v Speaker 3>and I'd be like, oh, so you can just smoke

1:14:06.760 --> 1:14:07.320
<v Speaker 3>all the time.

1:14:07.439 --> 1:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Then yeah, like you're not supposed to.

1:14:09.040 --> 1:14:10.639
<v Speaker 3>Then it became like you're not supposed to stow because

1:14:10.680 --> 1:14:12.520
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna be a dad too, you better figure.

1:14:12.240 --> 1:14:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Out not to be sober like me. Well, no, when

1:14:14.600 --> 1:14:15.679
<v Speaker 2>I said this, if I'm.

1:14:15.520 --> 1:14:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Pregnant, motherfucker, so are you pretend right support me? I

1:14:19.600 --> 1:14:22.839
<v Speaker 4>mean I smoked a little bit throughout my pregnancy, Lonuza

1:14:22.880 --> 1:14:23.599
<v Speaker 4>gones your baby.

1:14:23.680 --> 1:14:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't cheafing every fucking five second. I smoked. I

1:14:26.800 --> 1:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>tried to smoke, but honestly, I just didn't even want it.

1:14:29.320 --> 1:14:31.799
<v Speaker 3>I smoked a few times, like a few little puffs,

1:14:31.800 --> 1:14:34.200
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, oh, same with drinking, like I

1:14:34.200 --> 1:14:36.240
<v Speaker 3>didn't even want I did want a margarita, which I

1:14:36.240 --> 1:14:36.680
<v Speaker 3>didn't have.

1:14:36.760 --> 1:14:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Guys, don't worry, which would have been fine if I didn't,

1:14:40.040 --> 1:14:44.000
<v Speaker 2>if you do, like, no, I did it, but I didn't.

1:14:44.040 --> 1:14:47.120
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's also placed into my whole thing that

1:14:47.200 --> 1:14:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I was very like I was buried by the book

1:14:49.080 --> 1:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>during my pant I ate sushi. I ate chese cold cuts.

1:14:53.240 --> 1:14:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just kidding any cold cuts, but you know you

1:14:55.360 --> 1:14:57.759
<v Speaker 2>made sushi. I didn't eat those cold cuts, but sushi

1:14:57.840 --> 1:15:01.200
<v Speaker 2>raw sushi. I banged out some sushi.

1:15:01.240 --> 1:15:03.599
<v Speaker 4>I didn't think about it twice because I thought women

1:15:03.640 --> 1:15:06.679
<v Speaker 4>in Japan are eating pregnant sushi, you know, And it's.

1:15:06.560 --> 1:15:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Not about that, I think more so as America and

1:15:08.680 --> 1:15:10.439
<v Speaker 2>our food is Probably it was a mercury. I mean

1:15:10.479 --> 1:15:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that it's fine. So yeah's she.

1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:14.639
<v Speaker 4>Does like shrimp way too much for a three year old.

1:15:15.040 --> 1:15:17.080
<v Speaker 4>She thinks that's the only dish that exists, So that's

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:17.800
<v Speaker 4>probably my fault.

1:15:17.880 --> 1:15:21.920
<v Speaker 3>But oh my god, well, I don't know if I

1:15:21.960 --> 1:15:24.240
<v Speaker 3>have anything else to contribute to this conversation.

1:15:24.320 --> 1:15:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and this conversation can keep going forever, and

1:15:27.760 --> 1:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>this is.

1:15:28.560 --> 1:15:30.200
<v Speaker 3>This is like the tip of the iceberg when it

1:15:30.200 --> 1:15:32.400
<v Speaker 3>comes to it, because there's so many different aspects of

1:15:32.439 --> 1:15:34.560
<v Speaker 3>postpartum depression, like we talked about.

1:15:35.479 --> 1:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>But I hope that we were like somewhat informative.

1:15:38.120 --> 1:15:41.320
<v Speaker 4>And I mean, if not informative, at least like if

1:15:41.320 --> 1:15:43.920
<v Speaker 4>you are experiencing this about to experience it or have

1:15:44.200 --> 1:15:46.400
<v Speaker 4>at least you don't feel crazy, because I know I

1:15:46.439 --> 1:15:47.280
<v Speaker 4>was feeling crazy.

1:15:47.520 --> 1:15:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know, there's other real as.

1:15:49.600 --> 1:15:52.360
<v Speaker 4>Women out here just like you that are experiencing the

1:15:52.360 --> 1:15:53.839
<v Speaker 4>same thing, so you're not alone.

1:15:54.160 --> 1:15:56.439
<v Speaker 2>And if you do experience these things.

1:15:56.520 --> 1:15:59.120
<v Speaker 4>It's okay to call a friend or get some help,

1:15:59.240 --> 1:16:01.000
<v Speaker 4>and it's not it's not weird.

1:16:01.200 --> 1:16:03.280
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't have those friends, we'll be your friends,

1:16:03.360 --> 1:16:06.599
<v Speaker 2>just like yeah, we really honestly, Like if you don't

1:16:06.600 --> 1:16:09.719
<v Speaker 2>have a babysitter, I'm the type of mom like, okay,

1:16:10.120 --> 1:16:11.439
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong? You gt me pick up the baby at

1:16:11.439 --> 1:16:11.800
<v Speaker 2>one time?

1:16:12.439 --> 1:16:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Like I've only seen I've only met this girl four times,

1:16:14.400 --> 1:16:16.640
<v Speaker 4>Like okay, okay, I'll sing else swing you think I'll

1:16:16.640 --> 1:16:20.600
<v Speaker 4>recognize me. I picked him up because I really understand.

1:16:20.720 --> 1:16:22.639
<v Speaker 4>I understand that it's hard to be a mom. I understand

1:16:22.680 --> 1:16:24.320
<v Speaker 4>it's hard to be a single mom. And I and

1:16:24.360 --> 1:16:28.600
<v Speaker 4>then I really believe fully in the village situation, like

1:16:28.640 --> 1:16:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I really do.

1:16:29.760 --> 1:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>My friend's cousin told her, you know who you are,

1:16:34.120 --> 1:16:34.519
<v Speaker 2>my friend.

1:16:34.520 --> 1:16:37.880
<v Speaker 4>I hope the cousin's not listening not to discipline her

1:16:38.000 --> 1:16:39.439
<v Speaker 4>child because she only wants her to.

1:16:39.520 --> 1:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>She's one, by the way, she only like wants.

1:16:42.840 --> 1:16:46.519
<v Speaker 4>Her to like be receptive to her disciplinary action or

1:16:46.560 --> 1:16:49.160
<v Speaker 4>some stupid fucking shit like that, and that you know,

1:16:49.200 --> 1:16:52.200
<v Speaker 4>don't give so much, don't put so much highlight on

1:16:52.240 --> 1:16:54.960
<v Speaker 4>her negative bad behavior. The child is one years old,

1:16:55.880 --> 1:16:57.920
<v Speaker 4>so I had to think about it. It's like, first

1:16:57.920 --> 1:16:59.439
<v Speaker 4>of all, I'm not going to be around my kids.

1:16:59.479 --> 1:17:01.160
<v Speaker 4>I gonna be around another mom that I don't trust

1:17:01.200 --> 1:17:04.120
<v Speaker 4>your judgment. Can you imagine being around ire and Luna

1:17:04.160 --> 1:17:05.800
<v Speaker 4>and you couldn't rock for mand Luna.

1:17:05.960 --> 1:17:07.559
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't exist their children.

1:17:07.640 --> 1:17:09.599
<v Speaker 4>You have to be able to be like, no, don't

1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:12.360
<v Speaker 4>do that share yes, No, like you're teaching them.

1:17:12.439 --> 1:17:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So like, if you're the type of mom you

1:17:15.640 --> 1:17:18.200
<v Speaker 2>need to accept help. You need to trust the help

1:17:18.240 --> 1:17:19.519
<v Speaker 2>who you're getting it from. You need to calm the

1:17:19.560 --> 1:17:22.320
<v Speaker 2>fuck down. Okay, you need to smoke some weed. Is

1:17:22.360 --> 1:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>what you need to do.

1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:10.560
<v Speaker 7>not long ago, I was a hope and I'm admitting it.

1:23:10.920 --> 1:23:13.080

1:23:28.200 --> 1:23:30.280
<v Speaker 7>If I want to fuck, I'm gonna fuck him. But

1:23:30.400 --> 1:23:32.800
<v Speaker 7>if he ain't got a buck, I won't cover. Spend

1:23:32.840 --> 1:23:33.519
<v Speaker 7>a hundred on me.

1:23:33.720 --> 1:23:34.479
<v Speaker 2>It ain't nothing.

1:23:35.120 --> 1:23:37.479
<v Speaker 7>I want a double B. So he stuck back to

1:23:37.600 --> 1:23:40.040
<v Speaker 7>the point, is it some cash in this place? If

1:23:40.080 --> 1:23:42.160
<v Speaker 7>it is, I probably stick the stats and your face

1:23:42.240 --> 1:23:45.400
<v Speaker 7>turn around. Then he asks about the taste he fell

1:23:45.479 --> 1:23:49.080
<v Speaker 7>in love like the passion the drag. Better fuck him though,

1:23:49.479 --> 1:23:52.040
<v Speaker 7>And I don't even care if his mother no, it's

1:23:52.080 --> 1:23:52.960
