Yes, we 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: have only unfortunately met my twin nephews, who are now 40 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: almost two. We've only met them once. Because of pandemic, 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: and then every time we've been home they've had like hand, 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: foot and mouth disease. They went from that straight into 43 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: COVID and then like norovirus.

Very sexual. That was the first thing 74 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: that I was going to say. I know, we get 75 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: that a lot, and your background art is very sexual 76 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: as well as the person who has to worry about 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: the sound quality. I mean, I'm so happy to hear 78 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: your in small spaces with soft things like closets and 79 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, girls, I'm having a podcast room built in 80 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: my new house, which won't be ready until so I 81 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: keep coming to the studio thinking it's temporary, and I'm like, 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: ohh any day now, and then I've just come to 83 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: the realization that I will probably never be moving. By 84 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: the time that house is done, I will have sold it. 85 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: That is how I feel. We were having to podcast 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: during the pandemic, during the lockdown, when we were in 87 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: our homes, and so that's when Angela and I started 88 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: podcasting from our closets and I ordered the soundproofing thingies, 89 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, the ads for the walls, And that's sort 90 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: of how this came about. And now it's great. First 91 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: of all, I love your podcast. I love that you 92 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: guys decided to revisit your own show and break it apart. 93 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: It's very, very entertaining, and obviously it's a huge hit, 94 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: so a lot of people are loving it as well. 95 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: Now you guys are really good friends in real life obviously, right, 96 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: best friends, best friends. I love. We've hit the BFF. 97 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: We're there. That's our status update. We're at bf uh. 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: We'll tell us about how that friendship evolved from working together, 99 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you work on shows 100 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: or productions, you know, you make good friends and then 101 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of like sleepaway camp. You go back to 102 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: your real lives and then you kind of forget about 103 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: those people, but you hold onto the memories. It's that's 104 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: very true. That's most of the time. Yeah. I actually 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: remember going to sleep away camp once when I was 106 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: in fourth or fifth grade. It was Hebrew sleepaway camp, 107 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: so just to add that little X through a nutcluster, 108 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: and and I was so excited, like it was, you know, 109 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: just sleepover to like girl time, like so many girls, 110 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and they were all from my school, and none of 111 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: us were really close friends. We were all in different 112 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: social groups. And then we went to sleep away camp 113 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: for one weekend. It was just like a one weekend retreat, 114 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: but we all bonded so much that when we got 115 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: back to school, I was like, oh my god, we're 116 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: like we're all in this new group. And then it 117 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: just kind of petered out, and I remember feeling so 118 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: disappointed as a young girl that we couldn't continue that well. 119 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: You know, early in my career, I did this movie 120 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: Walk Hard with John c Riley, and he kind of 121 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: took me aside midway through. He was very much a 122 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: mentor to me, just a wonderful, wonderful guide with acting 123 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: technique and all kinds of things. But about midway through, 124 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: he just sort of very gently said to me, you know, Jenna, 125 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: I don't know how to say it, but like, this 126 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: isn't real life life on the set, the friends you're making, 127 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: the connect and you're making here, this isn't your real life. 128 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: Your real life is the other thing, not the movie. 129 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: And I was like, what do you mean. These are 130 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: my very best friends and they're going to be my 131 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: very best friends for ever and ever and ever were 132 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: bonded for life. And it was such a wake up 133 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: call because he was right, and it was a great 134 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: lesson to learn too, because I think in the entertainment 135 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: industry a lot of times I don't know that the 136 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: friendships you're making, or the bonds you're making on a 137 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: particular artistic project. It's really good to remember that you 138 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: have to really put down roots in your real life. 139 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: You have to have friendships that aren't associated with the 140 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: project you're working on. And I guess I'm saying all 141 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: that and now I'm realizing that my very best friendship 142 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: is Angela Kinsey, who I met on a set and 143 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: who is now my business partner. So I don't know. 144 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: I guess, well, I think I think we have a 145 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: really good balance because I just I collect people everywhere, 146 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: and I want you all to go with me everywhere. 147 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: And then I bug you and I texted you probably 148 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: too much, and I overshare and and and I just 149 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: want you all to be with me all the time. Really, 150 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: so I think Jenn and I are a nice balance 151 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: like that. She says when we were on set that 152 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: I just I talked to you into being my friend, 153 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: Like I just wouldn't stop talking to you pretty much. 154 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: You did, And I'm I'm more shy and I have 155 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: a lot of social anxiety, and so to have this 156 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: person that was just warm and chatty and open and 157 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: never stopped talking to me, I just was like drawn 158 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: to that, like moth to a flame. I was like, yes, 159 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: this is great. And then you know, we went through 160 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: this crazy thing together, this show becoming successful. It was 161 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: both of our first regular television jobs, and so we 162 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: were able to navigate all of that together. But more 163 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: than anything, we were the same kind of person, right, 164 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: and like we were target on the weekends and going 165 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: to do like what do you call those where you 166 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: like paint a picture and drink wine like we wine 167 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: and Kivas night night. We were for it. Give me 168 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: sign me up for sip and stitch. We're gonna do one. 169 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I just yeah, no. We we both sort 170 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: of had the same life experience in a way, like 171 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: our our families and how we grew up. And even 172 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: though we you know, I grew up all over and 173 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: some of the locations weren't the same, sort of the 174 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: heart of how we related to the world was the same. 175 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: And how we processed the show taking off and how 176 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: that changed our lives. But one of the things I'm 177 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: so proud of in our friendship is the commitment we 178 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: have to our friendship. And you know, it's like any 179 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: any other relationship in your life. The work you put 180 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: in it is what you get out. And as the 181 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: show ended and all of a sudden, we had this 182 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: place where we always saw each other and that was gone. 183 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: So it was up to us after that, how do 184 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: we maintain this French ship? How do we keep it going? 185 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: What does it mean to us? And it's one of 186 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: the joys of my life, the work we put into 187 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: it and what we get back from it, and I'm 188 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: always so thankful for it. We'll talk to us a 189 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: little bit about like what that commitment means for each 190 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: of you checking in really sharing and sharing because it's 191 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: I feel like, how people grow really close to you 192 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: as a shared life experience, and whether or not your 193 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: journey is the same, you're sharing your life experience on 194 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: any day, I know what Jenna's day was like. I 195 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: know what her week was like, even when we've been 196 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: way apart working. You know, like when Jenna, when you 197 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: were in London and I was in Vancouver, I knew 198 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: the sound her feet made on her walk every day 199 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: and I grew to look forward to it. You know, 200 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: at first it was annoying. I was like it was 201 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: kind of some crunchy rock. But then I was like, 202 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: oh I miss that crunchy rock and I need to 203 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: hear it. But right, Jenna, like, we just we stay connected. 204 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: We journal out loud to each other all the time 205 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: about the big stuff, the small stuff. All of it 206 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: is welcome. Yeah. I think a lot of what and 207 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: nexus as friends is sharing the small stuff. And like 208 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: Angela said, journaling out loud. We used to write each 209 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: other journal like emails, and then we moved into audio messages, 210 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: which is how we do it now. And Angela just 211 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: audio messaged me about her ceiling today. She had a 212 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: big water leak and she gave me all the guys, 213 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: the ceiling is going in today. I've I've been waiting 214 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: weeks for this because I'm so invested in Angela's ceiling 215 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: for her, because we tell each other all the small stuff. 216 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: Do you guys use Marco Polo? That's a video messaging app? No, 217 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: I know it, I know Marco Polo, but yeah, it 218 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: sounds like that would be a good app for you too, 219 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: because then you can visually see each other talking wherever 220 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: you are, and then you can show her the ceiling 221 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: being the installation of the ceiling. Like, it's a nice 222 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: way to check in with your friends and family when 223 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: you're on vacation anywhere, really, so they know what you're 224 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: up to. You don't have to like message back in 225 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: real time. It's like when you get the message, you 226 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: message back. I do that with a lot of my friends. 227 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: It's a atty great form of communication. It's almost like 228 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: if you could leave a voicemail when face timing. Yeah, 229 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: it's like a FaceTime voicemail basically, Oh, I'm in, I'm in. 230 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: What's nice about it? Is like, well, when I see 231 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: that come in I'll wait until I have a minute 232 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: to digest it so you can really can accept the message. 233 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: And there's also sometimes messages where I'm like, you're gonna 234 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: need to make sure no one's around when you listen 235 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: to this one. Yeah, you know those are my favorite. Yeah, 236 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: obviously I like what you're saying about friendship because we've 237 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: talked about this before, Catherine, about Renee Brown. I think 238 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: it is talks about the marble jar and how, you know, 239 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: things develop and cultivate over time. And it's not about 240 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: like necessarily instant connections and all of those things, because 241 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: those can be fleeting. It's about time spent, you know, 242 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: time quality, time spent repetitively, not just a few times 243 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: or a couple of times. It's about all the small 244 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: moments along with the big moments and the consistency of 245 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: it that leads to like a real, real worthwhile friendship. 246 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: I think that's true. I feel like I always know 247 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: that Jenna is going to show up for me, and 248 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that about everybody. You know, like I 249 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: am someone that I love meeting people and hearing their 250 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: stories and kind of collecting this group of people. But 251 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: then you have this small inner circle that you know 252 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: is going to show up in Jenna's top of the list, 253 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: and that makes me feel good in the world. That 254 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: makes me feel safe, and she makes me feel safe 255 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: a lot. You know that's great, Jenna. Oh well, I 256 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: mean that's Angela for me too. There's an unconditional love 257 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: that comes with Angela's friendship that makes me feel like 258 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: I can be the parts of myself that aren't so polished, 259 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: the parts of myself that I am may be ashamed 260 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: of or embarrassed by. I can make those mistakes with her, 261 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: and she's she doesn't judge, She's there to just love 262 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: me through even my worst moments. Yeah. I think that's 263 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: the gift that everybody they wants, right as somebody who 264 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: can see you at your worst and love you nonetheless. 265 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: And also the lack of judgment is nice because I 266 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: noticed in different dynamics with girlfriends of mine or friends 267 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: of mine or associates of mine. You know, sometimes I'm 268 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: very judgmental, and sometimes I am so forgiving, like not 269 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: even forgiving is it the right word, but the opposite 270 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: of being judgmental, you know, generous, Yeah, just generous of 271 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: spirit really, like not ever thinking that any of their 272 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: behavior is ever going to like break us or judging 273 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: them for it, you know, loving them through it. So judgmental, 274 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: Like being judgmental is a very tricky kind of balance. 275 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: Well for me it is anyway, because I used to 276 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: be super judgmental, and I've tried to tone that down. 277 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I'm very successful and sometimes I'm less successful. 278 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: Well that's that's just everybody, right. I Mean it's like 279 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: some days I'm like, I'm crushing it today as a human, 280 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: and then other days I'm like, what a piece of crap? 281 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just I'm curious. How did you do that? Chelsea? 282 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: Was that like a conscious decision? Did you decide to 283 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: take that on one year as a goal, and like, 284 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: what are some of the things you did? Well? I 285 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: went to therapy and realized, like I you know, I 286 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: went into like serious therapy for about a year and 287 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: a half when I just became so angry and kind 288 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: of like, you know, just I had no patience for people. 289 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: Everyone annoyed the funk out of me. I mean, people 290 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: still really annoy me. I don't know if that's ever 291 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: going to go away completely, but I have a much 292 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: more like loving attitude now. About people and I understand 293 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: that people go through things, you know, that you don't 294 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: know anything about, and I just was a little bit 295 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: up my own ass. So I had to just kind 296 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: of expand my my thoughtfulness and really understand that everybody 297 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: is going through something and most oftentimes you're not going 298 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: to know what that is, and to be empathetic, which 299 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: is something I kind of really lacked empathy, and to 300 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: cultivate that. The exciting news was that it's possible to 301 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: cultivate empathy when you are deficient in a category like that. 302 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: There are skills and ways to remember that. You know, 303 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: everybody has their own life. Everybody has their own set 304 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: of problems, their families, their history that you don't know 305 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: anything about, and to be more patient with people, really, 306 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: and it feels so good to be able to love 307 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: someone when they're acting badly, you know what I mean, 308 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: When somebody feels terrible about the way they're behaving, where 309 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: they're having an outburst, it feels so generous to be 310 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: able to sit with them and be like, it's everything's 311 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay, and you know, 312 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: and so that reaps its own set of rewards. I 313 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: think mm hmm, yeah, I mean I feel like one 314 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: of the things that you know, I mean, I feel 315 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: like that you and I have is we can be 316 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: really honest with each other and we've given ourselves the 317 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: room and our friendship to just take it in and 318 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: because it comes from a loving place, it's sort of 319 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: like that thing you were saying Chelsea about like having compassion. 320 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: And we're not a perfect friendship, you know, we're a 321 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: working friendship and we do the best we can. We 322 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: care for each other and we always come at it 323 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: from that space. So I wouldn't want anyone listening to 324 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: think that it's always been smooth sailing, because anything worth 325 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: anything takes work, and there's gonna be days where you 326 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: get on each other's nerves and things that you work 327 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: through as friends. But it's always been just so rewarding 328 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: that I can go to Jenna with anything and she 329 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: can come to me and she hears me, and she'll 330 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: we own whatever part of it we own and then 331 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: we get past it, and um, it's something I'm I 332 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: don't know, jennat always means a lot to me that 333 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: I know I can go to you that that that 334 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 1: I feel so comfortable in our friendship that I can 335 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: even go to you with things where I'm like, hey, 336 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: you know what that bugged me? Or you can do 337 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: the same and we get through it. Yeah, We've also 338 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: started conversations like this, like I've said, hey, I have 339 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: to talk to you about something. Something's bothering me and 340 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: it might be me, it might be my ship. But 341 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: can I say it out loud and maybe we figure 342 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: it out together, like what part of it might be you? 343 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: What part of it is Maybe it's all me, Like 344 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm I'm coming at this, but like I've been holding 345 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: it for long enough now and I'm not figuring it 346 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: out by myself, And so can I just bring it 347 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: to the friendship and as soon as I say it, 348 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: I might feel embarrassed, because sometimes that happens, like as 349 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: soon as you say it, you see it. And and 350 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: so I am so grateful that our friendship and our 351 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: friendship did not start that way. In fact, I almost 352 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: feel like some of these bigger, deeper kind of conversations 353 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: have happened since we went into business together. Because when 354 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: you're running a business together and you're presenting a business 355 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: to other people, the stakes are a little higher, and 356 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: so I that's one of the things that being in 357 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: business together has brought our friendship. It's I feel like 358 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: even even deeper, yeah, because the dynamic shifts. But I 359 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: love what you said. I love that intro into getting 360 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: into a difficult conversation. We haven't had to have any difficult, 361 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: really difficult conversations yet, Katherine, but I hope to have 362 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: some soon. So we just started, we became friends, we 363 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: started working together, and then we became friends. So it's 364 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: the opposite. Well no, it's not the opposite, yeah, but 365 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: you can work together and then became friends and then 366 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: decided us to work together again. Well, the differences though, 367 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: is we were we were co workers together. We both 368 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: worked for someone else, right, and really my work ethic 369 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: didn't affect Jenna's or vice versa. The way we approach 370 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: work didn't affect each other. But then, you know, we 371 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: had our friendship which was really solid. But then when 372 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: we started to run our own business together, well, now 373 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: it's like that's it. It's just me and Jenna, and 374 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: we directly affect one another. How we work, how we 375 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: process information, how we go into a meeting, it's all together. 376 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: And that was a real learning curve too. Because we 377 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: do process information and work very differently. But I also 378 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: think we complement each other really well. Yeah, we have 379 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: very similar work ethics. We're hard workers, but we approach 380 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: how we organize work differently. And it's when you go 381 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: into business with a friend as well. It creates so 382 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: many more opportunities for friction and you know, kind of 383 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: rubbing against each other the wrong way. So was there 384 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: anything that you really had to work through from that perspective? 385 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: I mean not at first. At first though, every person 386 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: I told that we were going into business together was like, 387 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: do you think that that's a good Are you crazy? 388 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: Are you worried for your friendship? And even our husbands 389 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: were worried. I think mostly because they need us to 390 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: be friends. They need Angela and I to be best 391 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: friends because we are helpful in like not making them everything, 392 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: you know, like they're not our only friends, so we 393 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: have each other for the big stuff. But I think 394 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't until we started getting into it where yeah, 395 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: it was mostly how we work. Angela is a night owl. 396 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: I am a morning person. Yeah, like when when we 397 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: swap information, because you know, our our podcast, Jenna and 398 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: I break down every episode ourselves. We go through it, 399 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: we reach out to people ourselves, we kind of come 400 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: out with an outline of who takes what, and so 401 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: I would get this creative burst at like ten o'clock 402 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: at night, nights ender all these ideas, and she'd be like, 403 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: I need do to buck it up because my brain 404 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: is shutting off. And then Jenna, it's like when her 405 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: eyes opened, her brain is going like in the morning, 406 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: her eyes are open and she's ready to talk, and 407 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, I need time to get 408 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: into this day. And that was some of the learning 409 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: curve that we had. So you need to have meetings 410 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: at like two pm, just like this is our happy 411 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: time right here. That's good to identify that. When people 412 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: had reluctance regarding you guys working together, did you talk 413 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: about that openly? Yeah. We both came to each other 414 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, I was like, Jenna, Josh thinks 415 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: this could be a bad idea, and She's like, oh 416 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: my god, Li said the same thing, and neither of 417 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: us had any reservation, Like I had nothing. You know, 418 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: sometimes you approach something new and you're like you get 419 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: that feeling. I had none of that. I just felt excitement, 420 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: and usually that means this is, you know, a good 421 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: thing when everything in your body is like yes, yes, yes, yeah. 422 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: I think whether you're in a married couple and you 423 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: work together, our friendship duo and you work together, I 424 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: think some people can work together and some people can't. 425 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: You know, some people can have a great marriage or 426 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: a friendship and they can't work together, or maybe they're 427 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: like on the verge of divorce but their business is 428 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: going great. It's like, you know, I don't think it 429 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: necessarily reflects on the relationship, but it can be really 430 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: difficult to work with somebody that you deeply care for, 431 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: that you like. Catherine's husband edits our podcast and he's 432 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: our sound engineer and I'm sleeping with him now too. 433 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: So things I've gotten pretty fucked up around here got 434 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: me a thank you for saying throuble before I had to, 435 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: because that is the word of the decade for me, 436 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: especially I'm everyone's third wheel.

Um. She wrote in about a long 460 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: distance relationship she was in and she wasn't totally sure 461 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: it was right for her. They would have a great 462 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: time when they were together, but after he left, she'd 463 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: find herself thinking about being single. Complicating matters, they were 464 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: working on a short film together and he had helped 465 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: her through the loss of her father to cancer. She 466 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: felt that he was a wonderful partner, but couldn't really 467 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: figure out what was wrong, and she had asked, am 468 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: I trying to avoid a love that's too good for me? 469 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: Or is this feeling I get when we're apart right? 470 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: And now is the time for me to be single? 471 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: Then she wrote in again. A couple of weeks ago, 472 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: I left my long distance relationship with my boyfriend of 473 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: two years, and it was the best decision I could 474 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: have made. I loved him, but my longing for independence 475 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: grew bigger and bigger, and I couldn't let another day 476 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: go by abandoning myself. He and I were great friends 477 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: before we dated, and we'd love to resume that friendship 478 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: when the time is right. Can you help me with 479 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: those next steps? I know it would be a few 480 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: months down the line, but I'm a planner and I 481 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: would like to hear your advice. How should I approach 482 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: establishing new friendship boundaries with him? Should I be conscious 483 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: of how much time I spend with him. He was 484 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: more upset about the breakup than I was, because mentally 485 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: I had left the relationship when I wrote my first email, 486 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear from you.

Yeah, 491 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: which I was surprised. I live in New Jersey or 492 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: I just did. I'm on a road trip moving back 493 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: to a led pursue. Good for you forgetting the funk 494 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: out of it, right. We did it, We made it out. 495 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: I could only say that because it's my home state, 496 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: of course, And so earlier this month, I went to 497 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: l A to visit some friends and I wanted to 498 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: see the house that I was moving into, and a 499 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: couple of days before I went, that's also where he lives. 500 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: A couple of days before I went, I was like, hey, 501 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: I need some space. I don't want to talk. I 502 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: just feel very confused. And I was open with him 503 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: about how I was, you know, questioning our relationship kind 504 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: of on and off, and he was like, okay, of 505 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: course yeah. And then I got there and I broke 506 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: up with him, and he was accepting, but then also 507 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: expected that the whole time I was in l A 508 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: would be like our lovers goodbye, we would be hanging 509 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: out the whole time. And I did hang out with 510 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: him the first day, but then I had to kind 511 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 1: of back away, which he was very upset about. So 512 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: it was a little complicated, and I think it was 513 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: one of those things that once I really honored my 514 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: knowing and what I wanted, I couldn't like look away 515 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: and I couldn't unsee it. And for him, it was 516 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: like he wanted to use this time to really hold 517 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: on to what we've had and honor what we've had, 518 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: and I think I've been doing that privately on my own. 519 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: So I really love him, and I really appreciate him, 520 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: and I think we had a really beautiful relationship, but 521 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: it's time for me to move on. I don't see 522 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: myself with him long term, you know, so I think 523 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: now more my question, especially about being friends with him. 524 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: This is one thing I was also realizing in my reflection, 525 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: was I changed parts of myself to really connect and 526 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: click with him, and I think, like, when I'm thinking 527 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: about maintaining a friendship with him, I know I need 528 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: time before that happens. But I think he's going to 529 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: meet a very different person as well, So I'm just wondering. 530 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's more eclectic, He's very artsy, artsy, and 531 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: there are parts of me. I'm a poet, you know, 532 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: I'm arts as well. But I think there's parts of 533 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: me that I suppressed and then highlighted to really connect 534 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: with him. Um, and now that I'm out of the relationship, 535 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm finding who I am again. I'm also twenty two, 536 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, I just graduated college. I'm like in a 537 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: huge transitional period of my life. And yeah, I'm just 538 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: feeling a little anxious about moving to a city where 539 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: he is. And I know he wants a friendship as well, 540 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 1: and I would be interested in that. But yeah, I 541 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 1: just can't believe the vocabulary that twenty year old have 542 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: about their own feelings these days. I mean, I was 543 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: drunk and high and did not have any reflection about anything. 544 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: I was like forty, I mean, so igpressive. Thank you. Well, 545 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, you read Glenn and Doyle and your life 546 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: changes and ground and you know, everything, just the whole 547 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: world shifts. So yeah, good, good for you. Well, I 548 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: want to ask you one question before we all jump in. 549 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: So you kind of hinted at the things that you 550 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: changed about yourself, but can you get into a couple 551 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: more specifics about the things that you did change about 552 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: yourself to be more connected to him that bothered you. Yeah, 553 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: he lives in the clouds, and I think I'm a 554 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm a romantic as well, but I'm also very practical 555 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: and especially being an actor, being a writer, and having 556 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: very big dreams for myself. I have a big hustle 557 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: because I know that for a while, I'm not going 558 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: to be making my living doing what I love. You know, 559 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to be working for free a lot. I'm 560 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: going to be doing theater and getting paid two hundred 561 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: dollars a week, and I'm going to be so happy 562 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: to do that. But you know, he didn't have a job, 563 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: and I always did. I felt like I wasn't as 564 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: motivated and in a hustle mindset when I was with him. 565 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: He taught me how to slow down and smell the roses, 566 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: but I think I was doing that too much. Towards 567 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: the end of our relationship and I went on vacation 568 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: with him and my best friend, and now that we're 569 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: broken up, she was like, that was so jarring for 570 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: me because I felt like seeing you two together, I 571 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: was seeing the side of you that I would have 572 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: never thought even existed. Like, he's not a planner. We 573 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: were going to San Francisco and he thought that we 574 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: could just like go and camp on the beach and 575 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: like that's legal, and I left him to figure out 576 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: where we were camping. So then we got there and 577 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: the one job he had he just completely failed out, 578 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: which I was like, oh, it's fine, it's cute. Oh god, 579 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: he's such a plan and like so lives moment moment. 580 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: But no, that's something that I wouldn't appreciate and also 581 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't think was cute. If that was like just a friend, 582 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: I'd be like, you sucked us over, Like what are 583 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: we going to do now? So yeah, I think I 584 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: was just a little bit more passive and let him 585 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: take the driver's seat. And I'm not that kind of 586 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: person just in general. And now I feel like I 587 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: don't have a boyfriend, and like I said, I'm graduating college. 588 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: I also lost my dad earlier this year. He had 589 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: brain cancer for two years, and you know that really 590 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: changes a person. Being twenty and having this like huge 591 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: dose of reality and so and losing him also obviously 592 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: changed me. So I'm like, looking around, I'm like, I 593 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: don't even know who I am anymore. And there's parts 594 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: of myself that I especially lost in my relationship with him. 595 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: So now I'm just totally rebuilding, which I'm very excited 596 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: to do, but I do feel intimidated and I've been lost. 597 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, well, thank you for your honest dates. I 598 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: I love everything you're saying, is I think so relatable 599 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: to anyone who's listening and to all women. You know, 600 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: how many times have we all been in relationships where 601 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: we've given too much of ourselves away only to come 602 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: back to ourselves or you know, every relationship you get 603 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: out of and then you hear what everybody thinks about 604 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: what the relationship was, and you're like, well, I wish 605 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: you would have told me that while I was in it. 606 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: But thanks anyway. I feel like I'll go first and 607 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: then everyone girls you can jump in. I think it's 608 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: so important to just respect his boundaries. Being the one 609 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: that he was kind of broken up with, and letting 610 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: him take the lead on the friendship part. I think 611 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: you do need some time so you're not he's not 612 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: in love with you, because it's so hard to be 613 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: friends with somebody when you're still in love. You know, 614 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of untenable and it's not it's not even 615 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: nice to the other person. So I think you should 616 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: definitely let him take the lead and you should take 617 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: some space in between that time that you become friends. 618 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: But you know, see what he wants, because a lot 619 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: of people say they want to be friends and then 620 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: they try and they can't, you know, and then they're like, oh, 621 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: I can't do this, it's too soon, it's too much. 622 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think respecting his boundaries since you're the 623 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: one who's kind of, you know, blossoming out of the relationship, 624 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,719 Speaker 1: and he will too at some point, but maybe not 625 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: at the same pace that you are. Angela, what do 626 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: you think, Well, you know, bellow, when you were talking 627 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: at that one of the things that really stood out 628 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: to me, and like Telsea said, you were so well spoken. 629 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm just like, my god, because I was not at 630 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: twenty two. But one of the things you said that 631 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: really stood out to me is just your feeling of 632 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: loss after your dad passed away. And you know, when 633 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: my father passed away, it was like this life anchor disappeared, 634 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: this thing that I was so tethered to that was 635 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: the calm and every storm, and it made me hold 636 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: a mirror up to my whole life, all my relationships. 637 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: I just looked at differently through this filter of losing 638 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: my dad and just know that voice in you that 639 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: knows when something's right for you and knows when it's not, 640 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: and losing a parent like that magnifies that. And so 641 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: I feel like you are living your truth and I 642 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: think that's really good. And I think the thing I 643 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: would tell you is that the loss of your dad 644 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: will always be with you, and you're gonna have days 645 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: where it just hits you in waves, and days where 646 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: you're okay, but you just look at everyone differently, and 647 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: I think that's okay. You just went through a big 648 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: thing and it put your relationship in perspective. I'm sure 649 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: there were many things that put it in perspective, but 650 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: I know that that had to contribute, you know, And 651 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: I just would say to be kind to yourself right 652 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: now and definitely don't rush into another one. That would 653 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: be my advice, you know, just take this time to 654 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: sort of regroup yourself and regroup how you're going to 655 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: navigate life without your dad and how you're going to 656 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: navigate relationships without him as someone you turned to. Yeah, yeah, 657 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: I do. I feel that a lot, and thank you. 658 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: I was having a conversation with my best friend yesterday, 659 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: like I said, we're on this road trip moving back 660 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: to l A. And she was really like, you don't 661 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: give yourself enough credit. And I was sitting in the 662 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: car like crying. I was like, I can't even accept 663 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: that that's true, but I also have enough of a 664 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: mirror up to me to know that it is. But yeah, 665 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 1: thank you very much. It's been it's been a ride. 666 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: I think that was probably I've noticed the most. I 667 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: was studying abroad in Germany and I came back after 668 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: his services and everything, and I was just looking at 669 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: all these people who are twenty and twenty one and 670 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: just worrying about Win's margarite a picture hour and how 671 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: cheap for the drinks, and I'm like, oh my gosh, 672 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: everything is changed for me forever. But I'm also very 673 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: grateful for it as well. I think it's very significant 674 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: to my life journey and has played a very specific role, 675 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: and I do see more and more blessings from it. 676 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: I mean, this is one of them. Yeah. Yeah, And 677 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: I think just looking at a specific amount of time, 678 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: you know that you might want to let a lapse 679 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: between now and when you can really start rebuilding a 680 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: friendship with this boyfriend, if and one that does happen. 681 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: You know, I feel like, as a general rule, I 682 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,479 Speaker 1: usually say six months is a good amount of time 683 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 1: depending on how many hurt feelings there were for the 684 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: person who was dumped, But you know, you might find 685 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: it's three, four or five months. But I think good 686 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 1: way to step back into that could be group get 687 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: together is like when the time is right. But also, 688 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, I think as the other girls here have said, 689 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: like taking his cues on that, as long as it's 690 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: not too soon, you know you might have to you know, 691 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: keep them, keep them at bay for a little while. Yeah, 692 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: because we really do have the same social circles. So 693 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: like even this month big party time and my friends 694 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: having a house swarming party, and there are things that 695 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: I know that he's gonna be at. Is this something 696 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: that then I just say, like, I'm not going to 697 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,479 Speaker 1: go to that because I know he's there, because it's 698 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: like a weird thing of do I communicate with him, Like, Hey, 699 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how to approach that part 700 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,959 Speaker 1: of it to like just the logisticates of I don't 701 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: really want to be missing out on a whole part 702 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: of my social life and these fun parties. But I 703 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: also will acknowledge that, yeah, part of breaking up with 704 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: someone and dating someone in your friend group is those 705 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: sacrifices will have to be made. But I don't know 706 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: how to do that while not communicating with him and 707 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: just hope that that works out. Well. I think it's 708 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: okay to go to those sorts of things and you 709 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 1: can be civil and say hi, but I would grab 710 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: a good girlfriend just be like, hey, this is my 711 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: mL for tonight. I'm not trying to like have long 712 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: drawn out conversations with him. It's like, can you just 713 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: kind of have my back and keep me, keep me entertained, 714 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: and be by my side for the evening and that way, hopefully, 715 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, if she sees you kind of getting into 716 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: something or going down a rabbit hole, she can pull 717 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: you away and say like, hey, let's go grab a 718 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: drink or whatever. Okay, yeah, yeah, Because I think the 719 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: key is, like with breaking up and everything, like the 720 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: best we can do is to be responsible with other 721 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: people's feelings, right, Like, that's the best we could do, 722 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: to not be misleading, to not be irresponsible, get drunk 723 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: and make out with them irresponsibly, and so that that 724 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: obfuscates the entire situation. You know, not that you're going 725 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: to do that. You don't seem like the type of 726 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: girl that's you know, that confused. But sometimes we can 727 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: do it. Men can do it too, obviously, but you know, 728 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: women can. We have this way that we can. Sometimes 729 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: we don't regard people, we don't hold them in the 730 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: same regard that we would hold our own feelings. So 731 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: I think the most you know, thoughtful thing we can 732 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,959 Speaker 1: ever do when things are ending is just to hold 733 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: those people's feelings is equal to ours and make sure 734 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 1: that we're not sending mixed messages. I'm sorry, I'm butting 735 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: my shirt right now. I don't know what's happening, but yeah, 736 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: just to be responsible about it. And even if you 737 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: did want to communicate and say, hey, I just want 738 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: to make sure you're okay with us going to this 739 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: party together, like there's not gonna be any weird vibes. 740 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, you know you could always do that. 741 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,760 Speaker 1: That's as long as it's friendly and not misleading, right, Yeah, Jenna, 742 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: what do you think? Do you have any thoughts on 743 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: this subject? You know, I think you guys covered a 744 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: lot of it. And the one thing that I was 745 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: just going to say was that I really heard that 746 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: you are entering into a new season.

To start, my best friend and 820 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: I have been fans since we were thirteen years old, 821 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: watching Chelsea lately during sleepovers. We have a situation. We'd 822 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: love your advice on a little backstory. One of us 823 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: is a nurse practitioner and has collected over a hundred 824 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in student loan debt in this pursuit.

We're hoping for your advice as 831 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: we have thought of what we think might be a 832 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: great idea to get us out of debt and increase 833 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: our quality of life.

The couple are both comfortable with the 849 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: fact that he will be seeing me naked, and I 850 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 1: believe that he's a solid guy that would be mature 851 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: about this. You inspired both of us to begin therapy 852 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, and we feel so 853 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 1: grateful to have the tools we have at such a 854 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: young age.

We would have our own profiles separate. Yeah, 889 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: it would be you know, each other's cheerleaders, and we 890 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: would you know, show each other do the photo shoots together, 891 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 1: but not interactive. But we would be starting our own 892 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: management business, so we wouldn't have to recent because you 893 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: only fans already.

I'm I'm only a nurse, 904 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, like whatever, I know you're and she yeah, 905 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: yeah that and just yeah, having someone in dating photographing 906 00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: my friend while I'm there, and also I not quite 907 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: sure about the relationship at the moment. It's very new. 908 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 1: Oh well, that's a big one. That's a big one 909 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,439 Speaker 1: because if you're if this is you're dating someone who's 910 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: going to manage you guys professionally, but you're not sure 911 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: of the longevity of that relationship in the dynamic and 912 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 1: how it might change. And then they're a business partner. 913 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: That's the biggest flag here for me, right, My biggest 914 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: flag is I don't know if this is going to 915 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: be as lucrative as you need it to be unless 916 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 1: you can like make it your full time thing. Because 917 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: the podcast I listened to, but what my one source 918 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: of information made it sound like what seems like a 919 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: side hustle becomes your full time job if you want 920 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 1: it to be really lucrative. Have you examined the real 921 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: financials here? Yes, we've you found. Yeah, Like we both work, 922 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean already forty five hours a week, so we're 923 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: not looking for something to add on, you know, something tremendously, 924 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: but we're also looking for a way to make some 925 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 1: extra money to get us at a debt that will 926 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: be kind of fun and enjoyable in a weird way 927 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,280 Speaker 1: back that they're driving for Uber. But I would prefer 928 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: to just have fun with my best friend and take 929 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: some classy photos and if we make some money off it, great, 930 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: But I think realistically what it would come down to 931 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: as an additional you know, fifteen twenty hours a week 932 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: of messaging, that's kind of what we think. We also 933 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 1: got to like if we do one big you know, 934 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: shoot sort of say, and we set ourselves up for 935 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 1: the months or the next couple of months, and we 936 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: can you know, put those out every day and have 937 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: it be we spend like a day doing it and 938 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 1: so it can automatically post every day. So like messaging 939 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: and staying consistent is a big part of it. But 940 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: I think if we set ourselves up for that, then 941 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 1: maybe it could say sometimes that's what I'm thinking of. 942 00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of sweat equity versus real money versus I 943 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: heard autoimmune disorder. I know stress can be a big 944 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 1: trigger for that, and so those are all the things 945 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, just as like I'm putting my entrepreneurial cap on. 946 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: This is my business partner. She loves a list. She's 947 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: gonna list it out for you. Chase where are you 948 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 1: on this? We totally took this one over. I'm sorry. 949 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 1: I love it using the guy that you're dating. What 950 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: is that there's some sort of financial upside to that? 951 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 1: Are like, are you saving a management fee? I'm confused 952 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: about that aspect. So he is a photographer videographer already 953 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 1: for his job, he works for a gym that's trying 954 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 1: to create a lifestyle brand. He's very good and he 955 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if we're getting a discount 956 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 1: any He's not charging us up front. He is going 957 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 1: to get a cut, and he was going to figure 958 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: out the ins and outs of automatic posting, timing, managing 959 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 1: our Twitter account so that we can keep you know, 960 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: the advertising flowing to make it a lucrative business. But 961 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm kind of at the point where I'm like, if 962 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: if that relationship isn't going to continue, which I'm not 963 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: sure of yet, what does that look like if do 964 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 1: we hire him for the first shoot and pay him 965 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: up front and have a contract that says this is 966 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: all you're doing and we just use his photos, or 967 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: do we like let him kind of dive into the 968 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,919 Speaker 1: whole process and like actually take a percentage of our income. Yeah, 969 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 1: I think contractually, Like you really have to have everything 970 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: in black and white, because you cannot be in business 971 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,640 Speaker 1: with somebody that you just started dating. Like that is 972 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: not a good idea. You have no idea what kind 973 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: of person. You know, you don't know what happens in 974 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: relationships people, you know what I mean. It's just that's bad, 975 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: bad idea. I understand he comes with some advantages, but 976 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: like the legal paperwork that would be required to make 977 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: this sustainable is going to cost you more money than 978 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 1: you might make in the first few months of doing 979 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: only fans, you know what I mean, Like, you really 980 00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: need to have it in black and white, like if 981 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: you stop dating or you know, like how does it work? 982 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 1: Does it work? By Like, Yeah, I love the idea 983 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,560 Speaker 1: of doing a shoot day, and that's what you do 984 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: for the you know, and you sprinkle it out through 985 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,319 Speaker 1: the rest of the month. Of course, that's the most 986 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: time efficient way to do it. That's how I do 987 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 1: social media, you know, that's what a lot of people 988 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 1: do for many things. But getting into business with some 989 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 1: guy that you're dating just as not a kosher idea. 990 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: So you have to figure out a way around that 991 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: unless you have somebody like a lawyer that's in your 992 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: family or a friend of yours that's going to drop 993 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 1: this paperwork for you. That will make it very clear 994 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 1: the split that they get, and you have to have 995 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 1: like a very big boundary conversation about what happens if 996 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 1: you guys don't continue dating. It's just that's that part 997 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,839 Speaker 1: is pretty that sounds messy. Yeah, he is a very 998 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: level headed person and a lovely person. He grew up 999 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: with two sisters and just his mom, so like he's 1000 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: very intuned to women and I do trust him. Yeah, 1001 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: but everyone's level everyone's levelheaded and getting until they're not. 1002 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: So just don't you can't trust that until you know 1003 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: somebody for a long period of time, what's gonna happen? Yeah, 1004 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean just kind of looking at the low hanging fruit. 1005 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: If anonymity is really important to you, maybe there's a 1006 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: business opportunity here that doesn't have you on camera at all. 1007 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: Like it's not necessarily as sexy quite literally, But you know, 1008 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,959 Speaker 1: you've talked about the things that people hate about doing 1009 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: only fans. It's the paperwork, it's the d m NG, 1010 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: it's the all this stuff that's just like hours from 1011 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: their day. Maybe there's a business opportunity for you to 1012 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 1: be the business behind only fans creators who are already successful, 1013 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,879 Speaker 1: providing these sorts of resources for them, so like they 1014 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: can offload that stuff to you. Maybe it's for a cut. 1015 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 1: I mean, from what you read, a lot of a 1016 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 1: lot of people on there are making gobs of money, 1017 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: so they're not going to care what it costs just 1018 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: to be able to offload all the business side. And 1019 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,360 Speaker 1: as you've said, you've business minds, you know how to 1020 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 1: create a business plan and you know, basically be consultants. Yeah, yeah, 1021 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: that is funny. And then I I recently at the 1022 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 1: month who I really like, and I'm already thinking like 1023 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell him I'm going to do only fans. 1024 00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 1: Like I'm kind of embarrassed, and I'm like, maybe that's 1025 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:22,719 Speaker 1: internally something saying more than what I'm really reflecting on. Perhaps, 1026 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,839 Speaker 1: But well, I would definitely listen to all of that, 1027 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, because that's that's what you're feeling inside, if 1028 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: you're worried about that. But I think there might be 1029 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,879 Speaker 1: a business opportunity here. But more like what Catherine's saying, right, 1030 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: maybe you can start a snage management company for Yeah, 1031 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,879 Speaker 1: that's a great idea, Catherine. Actually I think you should, yeah, 1032 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 1: look into that. And then how would they go about that, 1033 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 1: contacting people who are on only fans and like contact Yeah, 1034 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: because I'm sure that I'm sure those people who was 1035 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 1: It's Black China or something made ten million dollars a 1036 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,759 Speaker 1: month last year on only fans or something month a month. 1037 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 1: Money for successful and and your your average gal like 1038 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 1: non famous person. There's been girls that make up to 1039 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 1: twelve fift thousand a month. Everything that I've read, that's 1040 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 1: extremes and that's that's hard work, consistent posting. Yeah, I 1041 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 1: just want to pay off my student loans. You're looking 1042 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: to like a side scratch, right, like a little side hustle. 1043 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: This sounds like if you really want to make a 1044 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: lot of money, it's a full job, is what it's 1045 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 1: sounding like. Yeah, And I just want to point out 1046 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:38,240 Speaker 1: your tattoo. If you're looking about remaining anonymous, we talked 1047 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 1: about that, covering them up. Oh, I see, okay, And 1048 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,320 Speaker 1: then I mean I think, yeah, I don't think anyone 1049 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,359 Speaker 1: gives a ship anymore. Like if a nurse is getting 1050 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 1: nude on the side, who cares? You know what I mean? Like, 1051 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: what is that shouldn't matter. Yeah, it's not like you're 1052 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,200 Speaker 1: a congresswoman. I mean, look what they get away with. 1053 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I guess nurses should get public 1054 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: this too. We can manage that only fans for medical professionals. 1055 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: That could be your stick, that could be your you know. 1056 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,279 Speaker 1: You guys can always also like experiment. Whenever I have, 1057 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: like a new idea or a new business idea, they 1058 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 1: don't always all bloom into something amazing. You've mentioned a 1059 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 1: few things that you're a little nervous about, Like you 1060 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,399 Speaker 1: could try doing a shoot, and maybe after doing one 1061 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:37,760 Speaker 1: photo shoot, you're like, what it turns out that was weird. 1062 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,400 Speaker 1: It was super weird that my boyfriend was seeing your nudy. 1063 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 1: And we're gonna now forget that happened and we're just 1064 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 1: gonna come up with a new idea. And that's okay 1065 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,040 Speaker 1: to Yeah, I do like a test shoot. See if 1066 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 1: the photos even turn out. If you loved it and 1067 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: the photos turn out great, you have them, you know, 1068 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: But just because you do it one time doesn't mean 1069 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: it has to be a thing you're doing or we Actually, 1070 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,760 Speaker 1: you can keep checking in with yourself, you know, keep 1071 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 1: asking yourself, is this still right for me? Does this 1072 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 1: still feel like a thing I want to do? Do 1073 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 1: I have time for this? Is this a match? Yeah? 1074 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,960 Speaker 1: And there's also other people who know how to take 1075 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: pictures who aren't your boyfriend. H Yeah. Yeah, I have 1076 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of photography experience, so I could at 1077 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: least get like the lighting and everything. So that's what 1078 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,360 Speaker 1: we're saying, like we could do this, But I think 1079 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 1: what we were trying to offload was the hours of 1080 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 1: work of editing photos and posting because we do work 1081 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 1: full time. So and with somebody who you like, you're 1082 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,080 Speaker 1: you're kind of trusting because you have a personal connection 1083 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,040 Speaker 1: relationship with Yeah, yeah, right. I think either way, whether 1084 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,480 Speaker 1: you decide to like do a shoot or get into 1085 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: this full time, or maybe do some business or social 1086 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 1: media management, talk to a few people who are doing this, 1087 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: find out what the pain points are, what do they 1088 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,480 Speaker 1: love about it, what do they hate to about it? 1089 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 1: And actually like rather than you know, just reading articles, 1090 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,680 Speaker 1: talk to somebody who's really doing it. You know, you 1091 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: maybe even pay them for their time through only fans 1092 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: as what they hate about it. End those pain points. 1093 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 1: That's what is going to show you where the business 1094 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 1: model is.

It was the best 1128 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 1: way to learn how to ski.

My family is all advanced. 1139 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Even my children are skiing blacks. Okay, I see, I see, 1140 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: I see. Well I love that. First of all, how 1141 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,880 Speaker 1: great is it to pick up something when you're forty seven. 1142 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm forty seven too, and I love when people talk 1143 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,880 Speaker 1: about a new sport that they learned, because some people 1144 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: just think it's too late for things, you know, and 1145 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 1: that's never true. So that's so exciting. First of all, 1146 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,480 Speaker 1: there's a great, great woman named Taras Shackty on Instagram 1147 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 1: who makes these adorable ski suits. So, I mean they're pretty. 1148 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: You kind of get noticed when you're wearing them, but 1149 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: they're fun to wear. Every once in a while, she 1150 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,040 Speaker 1: just DM me with her new winter styles or colors. Well, 1151 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm definitely here for that. I got my ski pants 1152 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 1: off Amazon, so I'm in. I'm in the market for 1153 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 1: maybe an upgrade this year. So her Instagram is t 1154 01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: A R A s h a k t I and 1155 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,360 Speaker 1: she has the cutest snowsuits other than that, do you 1156 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 1: have your heated gloves and heated boots? No, No, I 1157 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 1: just shove the little handwarmers and toewarmers in. But I've 1158 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,160 Speaker 1: been wondering, I've been skeptical. Is this really a cool 1159 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,040 Speaker 1: thing to have the heated ones? Yeah, you should get mits. 1160 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 1: Mits keep your hands warmer than the gloves than putting 1161 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 1: your five your fingers get warmer. So I have a MIT, 1162 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: but I just put like a you know, a handwarmer 1163 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: in the in the top. Yeah. I would get heated 1164 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: gloves and heated boots. And it is a game changer. 1165 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 1: So then you like because it just as long as 1166 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 1: you are comfortable when it does get really cold, that 1167 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,919 Speaker 1: will change everything. And it's so nice because if it's 1168 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 1: not cold enough, you can just turn it off and 1169 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,760 Speaker 1: you don't need it. But it's such a nice luxury 1170 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 1: to have. And I'm so surprised by so many people 1171 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 1: on the mountain who are like, do those really work? 1172 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, they work. I mean I ski in 1173 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,680 Speaker 1: Whistler work it gets really frigid, so you need warmth 1174 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 1: and stuff. But I think that really, like, you know, comfort, 1175 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 1: when you can be comfortable while you're skiing, it's the best. 1176 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 1: And then I would just say for a technique and stuff. 1177 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: I always someone once just told me, you know when 1178 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,479 Speaker 1: you're pole planting and learning how to poll plant, because 1179 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: for a long time I didn't know what to do 1180 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,640 Speaker 1: with my poles. I was just like, no, I don't 1181 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 1: even need them. But when you're pole planting, it's nice 1182 01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 1: to think of taking your poll as like getting you 1183 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 1: down the mountain. You know, every time you plant, you're 1184 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 1: turning down the mountain, and that way you're in control 1185 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,760 Speaker 1: of the mountain. The mountain is not in control of you. 1186 01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 1: All right, I'm so excited. It's like it's coming up 1187 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,440 Speaker 1: and I didn't love my boots last year, or so 1188 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to upgrade my boots. Yeah, you should 1189 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 1: try and get customized boots because when then they mold 1190 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 1: them to your feet and then that way you're just 1191 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 1: because boots are so tricky, like if I have to 1192 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 1: wear my if I have to wear any other boots 1193 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 1: than my own, like when you're trekking up a mountain, 1194 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 1: you you have to get different boats. I can't even believe. 1195 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: I can't think of this term. What the touring? Sorry, yeah, 1196 01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 1: I see people doing that. I don't like that. I 1197 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 1: like to ride up a chairlift and then go down 1198 01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 1: the mountain. I don't want any exercise. Yeah, when you 1199 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,080 Speaker 1: have your own customized boots where you get molded it 1200 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 1: for them, that makes the hugest difference too, because then 1201 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 1: your feet and are like locked in and your ankles 1202 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 1: are locked in, and the feeling of security is just 1203 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,800 Speaker 1: so much better. Okay, see, I think you know I 1204 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,360 Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to make sure before I spent 1205 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 1: all that money, and I like really committed. I'm like, 1206 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: am I committed to this sport? But as Angela knows 1207 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 1: I am. Now we are in. We you are so in. 1208 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,760 Speaker 1: I mean we are. We watch when it's snowing and 1209 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: we go follow the snow. We've become obsessed. So just 1210 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 1: set yourself up for success. It's okay. The investment is 1211 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 1: worth it always. Yeah, yeah, thank you. I love a 1212 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 1: ski question. Okay, I have a question, Okay, dare Chelsey. So, 1213 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 1: I had a hard time during the pandemic because I 1214 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: love to have people over and hang and that was 1215 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:51,919 Speaker 1: a real hard thing for me, just missing having people over. 1216 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,919 Speaker 1: So one of the things I used to do every 1217 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: year was I had a Yankee swap Christmas party something 1218 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: that started on the show The Office, if you watch it, 1219 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 1: we had this whole Christmas exchange and I decided, it's 1220 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 1: like the classy what was it, Jenna's like the white 1221 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,200 Speaker 1: elephin gift, right, So I started having that party here 1222 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,080 Speaker 1: at my house and it got so rowdy and so 1223 01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 1: fun and people go crazy. They Jenna's gift is always 1224 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,640 Speaker 1: a big hit. You've brought the water hose one year 1225 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 1: and Oscar Nunia started chan and give them the hose 1226 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 1: like it's like the trade start happening and people have 1227 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 1: a really good time. And I really want to bring 1228 01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 1: my Christmas party back this year. And I get this 1229 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 1: taco guy and he's amazing. He has this whole setup. 1230 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 1: But I've never hired anyone to do drinks. Everybody just 1231 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 1: makes their own drinks. But I really wanted to make 1232 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 1: a margharita, like a great margharita and have a picture 1233 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,640 Speaker 1: of margarita's out, and I just feel like, you know 1234 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 1: how to make a good margharita, And I would love 1235 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 1: your MARGARITEA recipe. Oh it's pretty basic. I mean I 1236 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 1: don't like them too sweet? Do you like them? So 1237 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't either I don't like sweet. That's my thing. 1238 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,560 Speaker 1: And I feel like I feel like I have a 1239 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,000 Speaker 1: memory of you somewhere on a deck talking about a margarita, 1240 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, I want to ask her. I 1241 01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 1: know there's a lot of big life questions I could 1242 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,600 Speaker 1: ask you, but I really want your margarita. I like 1243 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: Don Julio Blanco. For me, I like the silver tequila. 1244 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: I don't like smoky tequila. I like silver tequila, so 1245 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: Don Julio Blanco is my favorite. I use tons of 1246 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,160 Speaker 1: fresh lives. They have to be fresh, squeeze lives. You 1247 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 1: have to do that, like massive amounts. And I'm writing 1248 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,880 Speaker 1: this down and the way to avoid the sweetness is 1249 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 1: to get you know, quantros. What makes it sweet? So 1250 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 1: instead of quanto because a lot of people like a 1251 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 1: little bit of sweet, I just personally don't like that. 1252 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,439 Speaker 1: But what's better than quantro is just a nice gave 1253 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: that you put a tiny bit of a gove in. 1254 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 1: And there's tons of different brands of organic a gave 1255 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 1: that you can use. But Margarita's season is not upon 1256 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 1: us yet. I haven't had margarita as yet. When this 1257 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: Margarita season, I guess now, Oh yeah, I drink when 1258 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 1: I ski, I have Margarita's. That's what I drink, Margarita's. 1259 01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 1: I was in Spain, so they don't make margaart ITA's 1260 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: in Spain, and anytime you try to order one, it's 1261 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,240 Speaker 1: terrible because people don't realize Spain is not Mexico. It's 1262 01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 1: a totally different scenario. But yeah, agave instead of quanto, 1263 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 1: and then that cuts the sweet in half, and just 1264 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 1: use fresh lime and never use a mix ever. Okay, 1265 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: And and then the silver tequila is key. Yeah, Okay, 1266 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: I wrote it down. I'm very excited. I'm gonna make one. 1267 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,040 Speaker 1: I'll let you know about it. Okay. Great, that's the 1268 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 1: only rule of recipe I know. So I'm glad that's 1269 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:29,959 Speaker 1: the one, the one you asked for. Amazing. Well, thank 1270 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 1: you so much for joining us.
