I used to love baths, and the wild 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.839 thing to me is I haven't been taking them at all. 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.720 I didn't went to go run one the other day 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.240 and I was like, Eh, I don't want to do this. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.039 But I've been building fires a lot at the house 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.479 I like and just sitting in front of the fire 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.800 with my cat. That is a mood and a book. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.920 So I love that. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.080 Yeah, that's a good self care activity. Does Maggie like 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.920 the fire? I catch really love he she loves it. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.319 Okay, she'll go sit in the chair. Like I have 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.200 a chair that I pull right up to it. And 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.280 if I'm not sitting in it for a minute, if 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.960 I get up, and maybe she wasn't in the chair. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.240 The minute I'm up, she has she's over there and 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.240 she's sitting in the chair by the fire.

Just got Maggie bros over. Yeah, cars not No, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.040 I feel like the fire kind of makes car hot. Yeah, 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.560 sort of tends to get away. But Maggie likes it. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.760 Yeah, that's fair. Most of the time, I've seen cats 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.800 in front of fires more than I've seen dogs. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.800 So that fires maybe have replaced my baths. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.600 I like it in books. Are you reading a book 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:21.840 right now? 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.359 But if I took a bath, i'd you know, read 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:25.960 the book or. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.880 Okay, so it's really the fire has replaced you have 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.320 gone from water to fire. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:31.920 Yes, I love that for you. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.720 Maybe that means something. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.639 Okay. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:39.919 Sarah wants to know how we deal with body dysmorphia. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.079 That's a tough one. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.799 Oh, yeah, that's a that's a tough one. And I 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:48.400 think it's well. Without knowing somebody, it's hard to know 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.399 their background, what they're dealing with, the specific thoughts they have. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.120 But like, for you, how do you like when it 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.720 kind of comes approaching how well I. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:05.119 Did years, years and years of work getting over there's 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.320 body dysmorphia involved, but a full blown eating disorder, and 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.400 I think for everybody it's so different. I feel like 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.640 this is even though I host a podcast outweigh like 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.520 a life without disordered eating outways everything, but I've started 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:28.920 it with a registered dietitian that focuses on body image, 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.120 eating disorders, and even therapy Cat She's a therapist in 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.800 town that specializes in eating disorders as well, And so 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.560 I feel like anytime I talk about it, I have 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.640 an expert by my side, because I never I definitely 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:48.840 don't put myself in that category, and everybody's experience with 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.080 it is so different. I feel like mine was more 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.760 eating disorder related binging and purging, and so something that 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.440 worked for me was a book called Brain over Binge, 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:05.280 and it was literally rewiring my brain for that particular behavior. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.240 And so I think similarly with thoughts that we have, 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.920 there's room to rewire our brains and how we see 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:20.280 ourselves and being thankful for our bodies and what they 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.160 can do. But also it's more difficult for some people 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.719 because literally they can't see it, so like they're not 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.839 there yet, And I think it takes a lot of 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.160 work and can look different ways for different people. I 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.200 can tell with my rambling that get I just get 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.720 nervous not knowing someone in their full story and not 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.320 understanding how I can come alongside and help them other 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.080 than just encouraging them to be proactive and being self 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.360 aware is amazing, Like if you're aware that you have 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.640 body dysmorphia, that is a huge step because some people 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.920 aren't even aware. And I think that that is going 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.880 to serve you in being proactive to seek out the 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:06.039 tools to then get help, because it's just not as 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.159 simple sometimes as saying like, well, just look in the 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.880 mirror and love yourself and know you know, the mantras 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.440 like I am worthy, I am worthy, I am beautiful, 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.640 I love my body. That's not going to really get 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.919 anywhere unless at the core you can do things to 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.880 where you truly start to believe it. And I do 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.440 think there is something to acting as if, and that's 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.719 part of the rewiring of the brain, acting as if 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.560 you already love your body. But depending on how deep 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.960 the wound is, it's hard to get there or what 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.480 the root causes. Do you know what I mean? 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.160 Yeah? No, And you know, Amy has more experience with 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.640 this than I do. I think my more experience is that, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.000 you know, as someone who's super short and very more 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.360 athletically build, that's always been a struggle for me, right, 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:58.080 Like my body type was not represented in the media 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.160 and magazines and movies and anything like that. So some 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.880 things that I've done that have allowed me to shift 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.320 that mindset of being like, I am not what the 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.599 world wants to see. I make sure that I follow 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.520 accounts on social media like Instagram. One that I follow 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.159 is the female Lead. They're always posting very like people 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.720 who are talking about how all of our bodies have 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:26.000 differences and how you like just seeing that other people 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.520 struggle in the same ways I do really help me. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.720 And having that constantly in my feed against you know, 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.680 we want to we want to see all the cool 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.599 stuff too, but having something in your feed to constantly 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.240 remind you like, also, you're still human and you're normal, 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.760 even though you're seeing like the Kardashians on Instagram, who 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.080 are all beautiful, But if you're seeing them and you're 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.440 comparing yourself, this can be a good way to have 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.760 something else in your feed that can help counterbalance that 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.240 if you're comparison, like comparing in that way, because that's 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.960 something I do. Like, you know, I see photos online 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:56.919 of celebrities or stuff and. 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.279 I'm like, dang, my arms are so much bigger I have. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:03.000 Really, my legs are huge, and I'm my little tummy, 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.600 Like there's so many things that I can nitpick by 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.360 seeing a photo of somebody else. So by allowing yourself 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.560 to have content in your feed that isn't constantly that 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.240 will help and will help give you reminders maybe when 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.680 you need it, especially because social media is a big 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.920 part of where that's coming from. Another thing that like 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.320 I do is I've focused on making sure that I 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.840 feel strong and healthy right, Like I feel my best 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.920 when I am eating what is good for my body 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.880 and when I am working out and feeling strong. So 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.360 when I don't do those things right, if I'm like, oh, 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.280 I'm too busy or whatever, I start to get down 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.520 on myself because I'm not feeling like I'm doing enough 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:48.120 for myself. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.920 But when I'm doing those things for me, it feels 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.480 better to be existing in my body, like I'm taking 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.520 care of my body for me. So those two things 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.720 are things that I've done to. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.520 Counterbalance the constant flow of things showing us that we're 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.280 not good enough, Like put stuff in your feed that 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:07.920 will also make you feel good. If you want to 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.840 follow people that are super beautiful and whatever, I think 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.640 that's amazing. But if you feel this way, have stuff 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.720 in your feed that can help you counterbalance that. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.240 And then on top of that, like find what works 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.160 for you to make you feel healthy and strong. And 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.600 when you feel healthy and strong, your mind starts to 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.080 feel healthy and strong. It's all connected. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.080 And so for me, that's eating what's good for my body, 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.160 and that's going to the gym and lifting weight or 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.960 punching a bag or doing hot yoga. Maybe yours is 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.480 like Amy, she loves to go on walks, Like find 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.200 the thing that can help you feel good in your body, 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.960 and the more that you're doing that and those activities 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.240 also are going to help your mind just by doing it. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.000 Yeah, Is that any of that makes sense? 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:50.360 Yeah? 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:55.040 Okay, And I think just to speak to sometimes not 0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:00.400 knowing someone's full story, it might be that you need 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.080 to do less. Yeah, So it might mean that you 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.400 need to yeah, or going for a walk or something 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.079 might be helpful, But it might be that you need 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:14.560 to be still. You might oftentimes if you are struggling 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.080 in a certain way, you might be overdoing it. Yeah, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.800 And sometimes being still in sitting with yourself might be 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:25.880 way more impactful for you than a workout or totally. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.840 So that's where it's just like sometimes like, oh shoot, yeah, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.480 you could like sit down and like know more of 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.760 the story and come alongside. But I feel like, yeah, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.560 those are encouraging things, and what are you exposing yourself to? 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:43.320 And something that Kat therapy Cow says often is, you know, 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.880 not even just with body stuff, but any thoughts that 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.280 you're having about a situation or yourself is what are 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.560 the facts? So you might be saying something about yourself, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.960 but what evidence do you have to build this case 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.000 that you're the way you look is blah blah bla, 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:06.160 Like what are the facts? And what do people enjoy 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.160 about you that have nothing to do with how you look? 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.640 And you can focus on those things like or if 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.200 you do you feel like if you looked different that 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:20.320 you would people are gonna like you less or more. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.800 I mean it's just like hopefully you have a good 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.000 core group of people where your answer to that would 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:27.440 be like, well, no, I feel like they'd like me 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.960 the same. But yeah, well the thoughts can be brutal. 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:32.880 Yeah, and if you don't like That's why I say 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.280 it's so important watching what the content you're consuming, like listen, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.880 content is our entire lives. It doesn't matter if you 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:40.800 do what Amy and I do for a living, or 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.320 if you're sit at a nine to five. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:44.839 Content is a part of everybody's life. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.800 You're consuming it one way or another, so you get 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.079 to have control over that and that helps a lot 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.400 of your process. I've noticed that when I see more 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.280 people that look like me. This is why representation has 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:55.960 always mattered. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:56.360 Right. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.440 When I see more people that look like me, I 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.240 feel better and I feel like, okay that you know 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.320 I'm not alone in this or that person is like me. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.640 So what you're consuming also has played such a heavy 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.120 role that I don't think we realize either. You know, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.480 for however, you're dealing with it, So just find what 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:16.679 is the balance. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.840 For you, much like Amy sing, yeah, good luck. And 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:20.640 this is why Amy has a. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.679 Whole, whole whole podcast about all of this because it's 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.320 so important. Okay, we're gonna take a break and we 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:26.400 got to talk about the kids. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:27.160 Is that okay? 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:27.520 Okay? 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:27.959 All right? 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.760 We got Christine from Canada, she's from Ontario. Wants to 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.880 know what hobbies the kids are into now. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.079 Well, Stevenson just made the track team, which is really cool. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.880 And then Sta shares on the softball team. So between 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.920 school and yeah, for to share between school and softball. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.480 She doesn't have much space for anything else. She was 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.480 doing dance, but we press pause on that because softball's 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.880 picked up and gotten a little bit busy. And then 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.040 Stevenson's school. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.000 And wow, and they both love those sports. 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.080 Video gaming at home on the weekends. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:05.600 Uh. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.040 Yeah, this is the first time Stevenson's ever done track. 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.520 So he's in sixth grade, so this is his first 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.280 team sport where he's a part of something. And I 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.280 guess track's weird because you're on the track team, but 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.440 you're also you're running individually. I don't know yet what 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.160 he's going to race, like if he's doing an individual 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.720 race or he'll be doing a relay. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.240 Yeah, but you're still part of a team like your 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:25.800 school team. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.440 Yeah TVD But yeah, they're both liking it a lot exciting. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.040 Okay, Katie from Texas would like to know what you 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.920 and you probably don't have an answer for this, but 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.400 maybe it comes to something what you would have named 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.680 your kids based on the personality knowing them now. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.560 Hmmm, I know that's a hard one. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.800 I didn't really give you a heads up on that 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:44.800 until like think on it. 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.280 So we also came back because I mean, yeah, well, 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.800 I feel like Ben and I always thought if we 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.600 had a boy, we were gonna name him Lincoln and 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.240 call him Link for short. I don't. We just always 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.160 liked that. Yeah, Ben was uh, I think it's Air 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.679 Force Academy. Is some guy they called Link? And then 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.800 Link reminds me of Hairspray in the movie play. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:07.600 Isn't his name Link? 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.640 I'm pretty sure zach Avron's character is named Link. Oh okay, 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.120 I'll keep talking, all I got it, So I guess that. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.839 And Stashira Gosh, I mean, now she has two names 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.800 because she's Stashi and then at school she likes to 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:20.560 go by Diamond. 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:26.720 She chose that for herself. Good question. I always thought 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:33.160 maybe I name my kid Elizabeth, but she has I 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.160 added that as one of her middle names. But I 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:40.680 like boy names for girls too, so maybe something like Ryan. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:41.880 Oh yeah, like. 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.200 Something that can be like okay, kind of how like 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.520 my my sister and I named are name Morgan and 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.680 Taylor and both of those can be boys boys? Yep, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.920 yeah like that okay, yes, and yes Link is his name. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.120 In Hairspray, Zach Afron's character is named Link. Okay, But 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.439 speaking of the name changed with a Stashira Lauren from 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.080 Texas wants to know how Stephen about her name change 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.679 and if he now wants to like change. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.400 His I don't think he really knows, because she only 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.040 goes by it at school. Okay, it's not reason why 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.400 she doesn't or I don't know. She just like I 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.400 just she was starting a new school and that's what 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.320 she wanted to do, and so we're like, okay, well, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.800 how can we support you? And so it's really just 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.400 at school. Everywhere else she is Stashira. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.320 And she doesn't mind that staff shares her name every. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.600 No, no, no, we call her that, and it's like okay, yeah. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.320 Okay, So Stevenson likely does not know. 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.400 Yeah he hasn't he knows. Sometimes I think he'll hear 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.720 me say something like, well, how is Diamond's day, and 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.520 then we'll transition once she gets home from school, after 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.720 I check in on how Diamond was at school, then 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.840 we move on just to share it at night. But no, 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.720 he hasn't made it a thing. Of course, I could 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.160 see how as a sibling that would be a thing 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:51.880 of like, well, she gets to change her name, I 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.200 want to change mine, but he hasn't said anything. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.400 Yeah, okay, okay, Well those are our our kiddo questions. 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.280 We'll come back. We have a few other ones. I'll 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:09.160 be done, all right. Syria originally from Texas, Banal lives 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.760 in Utah. I would like to know your biggest challenge 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.480 right now. We got the hard hitting questions this week. 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.680 My biggest challenge right now. I think that I personally 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:27.240 go in and out of times where I feel really 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.280 secure in what I do and what I'm doing, and 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:36.920 I feel inspired. And I was just having this conversation 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:42.760 with someone the other day. I don't know, disenchanted is 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.800 the word for sure, for sure, but just sort of 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.880 like nah, and I don't feel like inspired. So that 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.320 leads to thoughts of what am I even doing and 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.280 who even cares? Attitude? And I don't want to live 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.400 that way, and I don't want to encourage other people 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.240 to be that way. But I think everyone ebbs and 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.760 flows out of that, especially as a creative, just having 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.080 those moments. And I'm in one of those, but I'm 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.120 trying to get out of it. So that's a challenge 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.240 right now. I'm again back to that awareness saying I'm thankful, 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.280 I'm aware of it, and that I'm going to be 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:25.440 proactive about getting out of it, not through therapy, with 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.360 less therapy. But it's not even something that I think 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.880 I need to even dig into pretty deep. I think 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.320 it's just it happens. There's different seasons where you just 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.520 don't feel inspired, and then other seasons where so many 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.320 ideas are coming to you and it's feeling good, you 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.040 feel connected, You're like, yes, let's do this. And then 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.320 like when I was doing the lives like live podcasts 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.640 for four Things, I would go on stage and I 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.280 had this feeling that comes over me. I love connecting 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.120 with people in that way, and I am just like 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.320 I was born for this, Like this feels comfortable for me. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.640 And we were talking about doing some this year and 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.640 even last year. I mean, I've pressed paused on it 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:10.199 multiple times just because of different things in life. But 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:11.760 I just said on the call of it was like, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.960 I don't know if I couldn't imagine if I needed 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.200 to put together a show right now, I don't even 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.400 know what in the world I would say or talk about, 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.919 Like I can't imagine putting that together. And that was 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.280 a bummer to hear myself say that. So that's been 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.359 a challenge of like, I don't I want to connect 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:30.919 with people in that way. I want to do that, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.160 I really really do. So the challenge is working through 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.439 some of those some of the lies that I have 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.639 in my head, and then also trying to get inspired. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.200 No, I think that's super relatable and understandable because just 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.160 as you were talking about, like, yeah, yes, keep. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.120 Saying that because it is. 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.440 That's just part of seasons of life, which are also 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.920 hard to come to terms with sometimes too, because we 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:57.840 think we're supposed to kind of be robots and it's 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.040 just always supposed to work and makes sense, and you're 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:02.560 supposed to be able to go one hundred percent all 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:02.920 the time. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:04.280 That's just not the case. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.680 Oh yeah, no. So, and I have a Mastermind group 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.679 with some girls, and so I know it's common. And 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.040 these were women that I look up to and I 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:15.920 feel like they've I would ask them advice on anything, 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.639 and I love their content and I love the stuff 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.040 they put out. And there's times on the call where 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.399 sometimes that's there. They're like, I don't even know, no idea, 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.640 what are we even doing? Who cares? I don't, you know? Yeah, 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.119 So it is comforting to hear someone else say it, 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.000 so I hope maybe by me. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.560 Sharing that, no, it definitely will be. That's like, you know, 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:36.760 that's why somebody was asking. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.119 All right, Jennifer from Oklahoma wants to know if we 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.600 could join any active TV cast, which one would it 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.560 be and why? Now? 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.639 Active is the keyword? 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.120 Hold on, I'm gonna have you asked that a second 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.080 because I was looking at disenchanted because I'm like, is 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.680 that the word? I don't know? Let me see disan 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.400 chanin is disappointed by someone or something previously respected, admired. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.120 I don't know that it's dis chanted because I had 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.679 no one has let me down that has led me 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:08.479 to this, So it's probably more just neh. Is that 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.520 where I. 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:10.680 Meant a lot? 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.600 I'm like like, sometimes people be like, how are you da, 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.720 I'm like, meh, that's a response. I mean just kind 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.080 of like no is a complete sentence. 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:18.440 Met is the one? 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:23.040 Yeah, because it's disappointed with it or something and no 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.639 longer believe that it is good or worthwhile, So I 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.359 guess it would sort of fit. But I guess deep 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.200 down I know it is good and worthwhile. 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:32.680 Yeah, it's not me, so it's more meh you're just yeah, 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.200 this is a good way of putting it. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.000 So I'm okay, Well back to. 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:40.040 TV cast active one, so not one one that's active 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.480 right now, which is tough. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.880
