Be honest, I like to keep it black. 177 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: But Daniel day Lewis, Tom Hanks, uh, Leonardo DiCaprio, Like, 178 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 2: if I'm being honest and not keeping it black, you 179 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: can't have a Mount Rushmore without Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel day Lewis, 180 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: and Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is the only actor ever 181 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: to win two Oscars back to back as the leading man. 182 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: So those would be like putting it in around Mount Rushmore, 183 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: just those four, I can't do it. And the reason 184 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: why I stay black. I go with black verst is 185 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 2: because Hollywood wasn't created. 186 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: For black people. 187 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: So for those black men to have that success with 188 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: the amount of rules that's not written for us, I 189 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 2: always give them the nine. But that's not taking away 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: from the talent of our white counterparts. 191 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 8: Sorry, but I had exact reasons why I have Sidney 192 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 8: Poitier in my top five. Sidney Poitier broke the barrier 193 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 8: for a lot of the people to do anything that 194 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 8: they're doing. 195 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 7: You know what, he set the bar you know what. 196 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: I can't even now we say that Sidney pot did. 197 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: What about Morgan Freeman? 198 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: So it's interesting you're naming these people. So there's a 199 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 5: there's a documentary coming out later this month called uh 200 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 5: Yeah that's going to talk about the success of a 201 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 5: lot of these black actors, which I'm excited to watch. 202 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 3: Excited. 203 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 5: Next, I guess we can talk about politics a little bit. 204 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 5: Uh So recently Trump and Trump, the President, our president. 205 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: The people that president, and the people of them. 206 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, President sign in executive order to dismantle the Department 207 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 5: of Education, which is insane. The Department of Education, they 208 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: control uh funding for education and higher education grants, uh 209 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 5: funding for services for children with disability. So a lot 210 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 5: of people think this is going to put people who 211 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 5: are already at risk further behind, like low income families 212 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 5: and special education students, and it's going to widen educational disparities. 213 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 5: So the Trump's idea behind this is to give power back. 214 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: To the states. 215 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 5: I think something that we understand about the Civil War 216 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 5: is that apparently it was about states, right, So here 217 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: we are back. 218 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. 219 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 2: I'm so glad you brought up the Civil War because 220 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: if people understand where the Department of Education came from, 221 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: they would understand why this is. 222 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: Never for us as black people. 223 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 2: Anyway, Right after the Civil War, the DC was created. 224 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: The UDC is the United Daughters of the Confederacy led 225 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 2: by a woman called named Mildred Rutherford, and Mildred Rutherford's 226 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: whole purpose of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was 227 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 2: to uphold the lost cause in doctrination. The lost cause 228 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 2: in doctrination was the indoctrination that the Confederacy was here 229 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: to save America. So what they did was they changed 230 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,359 Speaker 2: all of the textbooks that we see federally to become whitewashed. 231 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 2: That's why there's no black history in the textbooks. So 232 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: for me, the dismantling of the Department of Education for 233 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: the federal level takes away the power of the federal 234 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: level to tell all of our kids what they're going 235 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: to learn in schools. Now, him giving it to the 236 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: local leaders like states, allows the governors and the mayors 237 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: to decide how they're going to educate and the funding 238 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: they're going to use for their constituents, which. 239 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 4: I think makes it a little bit more tangible for 240 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: people in their respective states. But if you're in those 241 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 4: local elections and you're, you know, lobbying for the things 242 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: that you want, then there's probably a greater chance of 243 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: you getting those things now. 244 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: If now the problem is doing that. 245 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 2: If you cut the Board of Education, the federal funding 246 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: that comes down to these states get cut as well. 247 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 2: And a lot of that federal funding was to help 248 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: people who look like us. So I'm kind of torn. 249 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: I'm torn because our people need the funding, especially since 250 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: we pay taxes. We need that funding to educate our kids. 251 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: But I'm torn because the education they teach our kids 252 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: is not the real education. 253 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: I give you a perfect example. Jackson just last month had. 254 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: To do a story or had to do a report 255 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: on Western expansion, and all of the stuff they talked 256 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: about in Western Expansion never talked about the black the 257 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: black cowboys and the black sheriffs, and the people who 258 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: actually built this country. 259 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: The Asians that came over here. 260 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: All of the stories was about what the US government 261 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: did to help grow America. 262 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: And I was like, this is not real history. 263 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I said, Jack you ever 264 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: heard about black holes? He was like, no, only from you. 265 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: And that leads me to my point. I don't care 266 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: what they do with the Department of Education because I 267 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: am going to always educate my kids period. Like whatever 268 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: funding they pull, I'm going to make sure that my 269 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: kids understand who they are and where they stand when 270 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: it comes to history. 271 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: So my opinion on the Department of Education is, let 272 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: the federal government do what they gotta do. I'm gonna 273 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: make sure my kids know period. 274 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that opera. 275 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: No opp from the rest of the crew. 276 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 7: I got no op because I'm not going to say 277 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 7: anything as eloquent, but. 278 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: People know that history. 279 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: I wrote the book that book. I wrote the book 280 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: The Ellis is in a time machine. Like I learned 281 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: about Mildred Rutherfoot should had my skin crawl like so 282 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: y'all actually had a woman go into the textbooks and say, 283 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 2: we're not going to say this. 284 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: We're going to say this just to uphold and. 285 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: For people who don't know what the Lost Cause in 286 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: doctrination is, go back and watch. 287 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: Birth of a Nation, the very first Birth of a Nation, 288 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: which was. 289 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: The first movie that played in the White House right 290 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: during reconstruction, and the movie was of white men in 291 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: blackface terrorizing the people of America, and the klu Klux 292 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: Klan came to save Americans because after well during reconstruction, 293 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: the story they told of the Lost Cause was that 294 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: they finally allowed slaves and people of color to be 295 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: a part of the government, and they ran the government rampant, 296 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: and they needed the KKK to come save the people 297 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: of America from the black men that were raping and stealing. 298 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: That's the lost cause in doctrination, the fact that the 299 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: Confederacy was about states' rights and it wasn't about slavery. 300 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: So what they're continuously doing is trying to indoctrinate generations 301 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: that the Confederacy was here to save America, not that 302 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: they were pretty much treason this people who tried to 303 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: separate from the Union and lost. 304 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: The biggest thing is that the Confederacy. 305 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: Lost the war, the Civil War, and they never wanted 306 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: to talk about them losing the war. So I think 307 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: it's important for people to understand where the Department of 308 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: Education sits and our people not just about funds, because 309 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: they will give our people funds and then have someone 310 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,479 Speaker 2: educate them incorrectly. 311 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: That's just my opinion on it. You know what I'm saying. 312 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: But I mean, we've never relied on the textbooks ever. 313 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: All of our kids have tutors and mentors, Like even 314 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: when we didn't have money, Padeen and Deval was in 315 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: that book with Jackson, Like, that's how I learned about 316 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: so much of this stuff. 317 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 4: I was about to say, Deva's mom was just here 318 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 4: visiting with the boys, and I had gotten these little 319 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 4: flash cars that are just like black history flash cars 320 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: and stuff like that. 321 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: Her eyes lit up. She was like, Yeah, I want 322 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: to go for some of these with the kids, because 323 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: your mom lived through. 324 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: My mom lived through the end of the degregation, and 325 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: she was in Brooklyn and they had finally ended segregation 326 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: in the late sixties or early seventies, and she was 327 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: one of the first group of black kids to go 328 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 2: to school in Marine integrated and they were chased out 329 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: of those schools every single day. So my mom doesn't 330 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 2: play when it comes to education. That's why I am 331 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: the way I am. And that's that's also why I'm 332 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: so pro bleak history, because that history lives in me. 333 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: Like this to me isn't just opinions. These are facts 334 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: that my mom made sure I knew, so Department of Education, 335 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: I never rely on that. My mom used to sit 336 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: in all of the meetings and talk about funding. How 337 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: come none of this funding is going towards arts or 338 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: going towards this. My mom used to sit in the 339 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: meetings to be like this ain't right, and I realized, 340 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: like the federal government doesn't have the amount of power 341 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: people think they have when it comes to educating our 342 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: people and our kids. So parents, if you're listening, handle 343 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: that yourself. Don't even leave that up to them. 344 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 5: And just imagine parents who who have to work, single parents, 345 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 5: have multiple children time. Yes, plus, this was an alarming 346 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 5: stat that I read the other day. Fifty six percent 347 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 5: of American adults have a reading level below sixth grade. 348 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: So a lot of parents shocking. 349 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 5: No, it's not shocking, but I'm just saying a lot 350 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 5: of a lot of parents don't even have, you know, 351 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 5: the intelligence to teach their children. And that's what we're 352 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 5: going to So we have to really rely on community 353 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 5: in this time to try to make sure that our 354 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 5: kids don't get left behind. 355 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: That's a problem on what you just said, And it 356 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: doesn't surprise me fifty six percent because most people don't 357 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: value school or education. 358 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 5: In our in our parents generation, a lot of times 359 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 5: they couldn't they had to make other choices. 360 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: That is true when I think about my grandmother. My 361 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: grandmother couldn't go to high school. She had to take 362 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 2: care of her siblings because there was six of them 363 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: and she was the oldest. 364 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: That is a very valid point. 365 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 5: And uh, back on the subject of burnout, I saw 366 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 5: a TikTok recently a woman named doctor Claire Ashley talking 367 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 5: about burnout, and she said that it takes on average 368 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 5: one to three years to recover from burnout. But she 369 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 5: said there's five stages of burnout that can help you 370 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 5: identify burnout quickly quicker, so that you can recover quicker, 371 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 5: just in case. 372 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: So are you interested in hearing I. 373 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 3: Would hear that's the perfect segue. 374 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: Well, all right. 375 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 5: Stage one is the honeymoon phase, she said. This is 376 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 5: when you start a new job. You're really excited, and 377 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 5: so because you're so excited, you might take on more 378 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 5: work than you actually can handle and trying to prove yourself, 379 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 5: try to prove yourself excited about the work, excited to 380 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 5: do the thing. Yeah, and then that will lead you 381 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 5: into phase two, which is the onset of stress. This 382 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 5: is when you start to notice that things becoming more 383 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 5: stressful you or you start to have more stressful days 384 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 5: than non stressful days, and you start to notice that 385 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 5: you might be getting frustrated you might be feeling a 386 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 5: little bit overwhelmed, and that can lead to chronic stress 387 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 5: if you don't do anything about it at that point, 388 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 5: it will lead to the third phase, which is chronic stress. 389 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 5: And this when you're chronically stressed, it affects your ability 390 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 5: to concentrate. You're less productive and you feel more overwhelmed, overwhelmed, yeah, 391 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: and then that leads to the fourth stage, which is 392 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 5: actual burnout where this is where the apathy really kicks in. 393 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 5: You're feeling detached from your friends, detached from your family, 394 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 5: detached from your emotions, yeah, detached from the work, and 395 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 5: you're feeling a level of exhaustion that goes. 396 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: Along with it. 397 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 5: And then that leads to the fifth stage of burnout, 398 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 5: which is habitual burnout, which is a loss of joy 399 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 5: in basically anything retired. 400 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 3: You might yeah. 401 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, when you lose that, yeah, it can lead to 402 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 5: unhealthy habits, you know, seeking out dopamine to be. 403 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 2: Numb so that you don't have to feel what's happening. 404 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: You did that not describe everything? 405 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: Then? Yeah? 406 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 3: So I see a correlation between burnout and having kids. 407 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 4: Honey, labor delivery, postpartum, Oh shit is linked together. 408 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: You got labor delivery, no pregnancy, pregnancy first, then you 409 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: got labor delivery, and you have after. 410 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: From postpartum, but sleep deprivation on top. 411 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 4: Of all of that, all the things burnt burnout is 412 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 4: a lot. Yeah, literally just want to be like by 413 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: my Well, what is it? How does it manifest itself 414 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 4: in you? Because for you with burnout, I know that 415 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 4: there's a detachment that happens that you just kind of 416 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 4: let go or coping mechanisms to deal with burnout. For me, 417 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 4: I know when I'm burnt out, I just want to 418 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 4: shut everything down, Like I don't want to be around people, 419 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 4: don't I want to be by myself. I don't want 420 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 4: to do anything. I want to find the ways that 421 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 4: I can find joy. Sometimes that's not leaving my bed. 422 00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 4: Sometimes that's continuously you know, watching a good show in 423 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 4: time with just my kids and my husband. Like those 424 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 4: are the things for me, I know I can find 425 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 4: a little bit of like recovery from For. 426 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: Me, I have to be purposeful about taking time for myself. 427 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 2: Like what I've started to do now, I don't wake 428 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: up my days anymore prepared to handle today. I don't 429 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 2: wake up like I used to wake up phone check 430 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: my accounts. 431 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 3: That's a good point. 432 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: How much how much money came in, how much money 433 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: they came in, what came out? Let me call my advisor, 434 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 2: let me find out what it is. Then after that, 435 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 2: I checked my Instagram, my YouTube. I just make sure 436 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: that all my analytics is working right. Then it's like 437 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: the minute I woke up, I used to wake up. 438 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: That's what it was. 439 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 4: So it's like you woke up and almost inviting burnout business, yeah. 440 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 2: Which which I found to be terrible for me. Like 441 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: I was gaining weight. My eyes used to be super 442 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: dark all the time. My hair was crazy, crazy thing, 443 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Like my body, even my 444 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: body five percentage. Matt was like, yoall looked at video 445 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: of you last year and didn't realize that you were 446 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 2: a lot bigger, Like I could see it in your face, 447 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 2: and I realized that I have in order to navigate burnout. 448 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: You can't let burnout happen. Right. 449 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 2: The first thing of navigating is don't get burnt out. 450 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: So I wake up in the morning. The for every 451 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: first thing I do when I wake up is I 452 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, go to my fridge, 453 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: take my ginger shot and drink my warm tea with 454 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: my probiotic and I just sit for a minute. 455 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: Sit, I meditate, I think about what it is I 456 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: want to do in life. 457 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 2: Then I go work out, spend my hour and a 458 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: half focusing on myself and my body. At that point, 459 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: I've rested my gut, because you know, gut health is important. 460 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: I've stretched, I've meditated, I've made sure everything that was 461 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 2: important to myself first was taken care of. Then I 462 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: checked my count then I check my Instagram then. So 463 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: for me, navigating burnout was to make sure the vow 464 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 2: was okay first, and I never used to do that. 465 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for me with burnout, I realized that it 466 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 4: was happening when I or we you know, essentially were 467 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 4: chasing all of the things that we felt like we 468 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 4: needed to chase in order to be successful within this 469 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 4: career field. Right so, knowing the entertainment industry, the film 470 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 4: and television industry, now the social media industry, which has 471 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 4: become pretty much our livelihoods, for me, it was just like, 472 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 4: how can I chase every bag? You know, exist in 473 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 4: every opportunity because you never know at one point this 474 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 4: will be gone, Like we were saying in another episode, 475 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 4: ten years ago, social media and becoming a content creator 476 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 4: wasn't a thing. So I almost felt like for a 477 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 4: long time, like, at any point, this may not be 478 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 4: a thing anymore, So let me try to maximize and 479 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 4: capitalize on the opportunity now while I can, because taking 480 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: this opportunity may lead to that next big break. And 481 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: last year specifically, I realized like man like, I almost 482 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 4: felt like we were hustling backwards in a sense because 483 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 4: I'm like, if I'm taking this gig and it's not 484 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 4: going to move the needle for me and in a 485 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 4: way that's successful for or could potentially be successful for 486 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 4: my career or from a professional standpoint, then it's like, 487 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 4: am I just going to every event just to be seen, 488 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 4: you know, sitting on every panel just to say you're 489 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 4: on a panel, to be posting that you're all doing something? 490 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 4: Or is this something that's really going to bring fulfillment 491 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 4: actually potentially bring me future opportunities. Is it going to 492 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 4: take me out of my home for an extended period 493 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: of time that I don't need to be away from home. 494 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 4: Those are the things that I had to start processing 495 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 4: and kind of asking myself to prevent eventually being burnt out. 496 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: So your first thing to naviate burnout was to be like, 497 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 2: I'm no longer doing the things that just don't serve 498 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 2: me directly, like not just doing stuff to do, eliminating busy. 499 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 3: Work, eliminating business the biggest thing. 500 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: Do busy work, Like, yeah, I'm sitting still, then I'm 501 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 2: not doing anything. 502 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm not getting better exactly. 503 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 4: That was how I'm feeling about it. Yeah, So that 504 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 4: was the first thing. Also reinvesting time into myself and 505 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 4: my health. So we both kind of got onto that 506 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 4: bandwagon where we're like, you know what, nothing is gonna 507 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: work if he and I aren't healthy. So we've been 508 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 4: super supportive in both of our journeys to really make 509 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 4: sure that from a health standpoint, we're investing in ourselves, 510 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 4: we're eating better, we're getting the sleep. Like team no sleep, 511 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 4: that's no longer a thing for me. Yeah, that's not 512 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 4: I'm gonna need my sleep. I'm gonna need my seven 513 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 4: to eight hours of sleep. Even when I was filming 514 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 4: and stuff like that, I'm like I had to prioritize 515 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 4: and like, am I gonna work out? 516 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 3: Am I gonna study? Am I what? 517 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 4: Am I gonna do in this you know, short amount 518 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 4: of time that I have to recover for the next day. 519 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: And I was like, you know what, I'm going to sleep. 520 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: But I do think team no sleep is part of 521 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 2: the reason why burnout is so big in this generation. Yes, 522 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: like it became a badger honor. Yeah, and it used 523 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: to be for me when I used to be like, man, 524 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: I work eighteen hours and I didn't sleep. It wasn't 525 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: until I realized how much sleep was important for my recovery, 526 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: not just physically but mentally. Like you when you don't 527 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: sleep and you can't function because your cognitive dissonance. 528 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: Is like all over the place. 529 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: I can't even separate myself from stuff I want to 530 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 2: because I can't even realize what's happening. And then that's 531 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: a reality. What happens is when you don't sleep, you 532 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 2: start to do busy work because you really can't decide 533 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 2: what's important because your mind is all over the place. 534 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 2: So you do everything, yeah, and before you know it, 535 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 2: you're doing everything but also doing. 536 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 4: Nothing right and you're not showing up one hundred percent anywhere. 537 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 3: Everything is just kind of scattered. 538 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 4: So for me, that was some of the biggest things 539 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 4: that I had to navigate when I realized like burnout 540 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 4: was definitely coming on. I realized too, that you can 541 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 4: be burnt out in so many different ways. Like there's 542 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 4: physical burnout, there's emotional burnout, there's a spiritual burnout, there's 543 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 4: you know, mental burnout. And I say all the time, 544 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 4: I feel like even just as a mom and a 545 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 4: wife and a business woman, like there's so many tabs 546 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 4: opened in my brain that I had to realize. Sometimes 547 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 4: asking for help and delegating responsibilities things like that helped 548 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 4: me navigate when I felt like, you know what, I 549 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 4: just can't do this anymore. And it's sad when it 550 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 4: hits you when you realize, like damn, like the love 551 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 4: for the things that I want to do, I can't 552 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 4: even do them because I don't have the energy to 553 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: do it. When I realized it was affecting the time 554 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 4: with the kids, for example, it's like I rather just 555 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 4: lay in bed and have some mean time versus like 556 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 4: wanting to chill with the kids. 557 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: Like that was a problem for burnout. Was affecting your 558 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: family and what you want to do at home. I 559 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: got a question, trouble. 560 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: I know there are some facts and stacks about burnout right, 561 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: let me hear some of those. 562 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's not a medical condition, but the World 563 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 5: Health Organization does recognize that it can cause people to 564 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 5: feel physically and emotionally drained or be exhausted, or they 565 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 5: may also feel cynical. 566 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: But it's not a medical condition. It's not considered a 567 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: medical condition. 568 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 5: No, but it can produce medical mental emotional symptoms like depression, Yeah, 569 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 5: like depression, anxiety, and it can make it difficult to 570 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 5: enjoy daily life. Some people also can have physical symptoms, 571 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 5: like if you have something called somatic symptom syndrome, it's 572 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 5: a turn it's a type of anxiety where you conflate 573 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 5: stress with physical illness, so it can mimic physical illness. 574 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: Are we not tired of all of these diagnoses? There's 575 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: like fifteen thousand versions. 576 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 3: Of depression and anxiety. 577 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna be honest, bro, I I feel like 578 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: sometimes we're getting too like clinical with things because we 579 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 2: have kids now who are like eleven, and they're like 580 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 2: that have anxiety about this. I don't think I should 581 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 2: do this, And it's like, well, hold up, hold up, 582 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: you eleven, you don't really have no anxiety about what 583 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: you're scared. 584 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I don't know. 585 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: I'm kind of torn with that because I feel like 586 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: I feel I'm. 587 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: Talking with that because I'm torn. 588 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 4: I'm torn because I think as we grew up right 589 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 4: and we were told to just push through things and 590 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 4: to deal with it and this. 591 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: Is part of the chorus, and this is how you 592 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: become successful. 593 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 4: It's like we just kind of put our head down 594 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 4: and then ignore the way we felt about a lot 595 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 4: of things, which is internal why I think adults, our 596 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 4: age millennials specifically have the. 597 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 3: Issues and the anxiety the things that. 598 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 4: They have now versus now that we've put people on notice, like, Okay, 599 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 4: maybe there are days that you need a mental health day, 600 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 4: or you need a day to kind of just relax, 601 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 4: or maybe you should be. 602 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 3: Cognizant of how you feel mentally. 603 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, there's I gotta hear I 604 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: gotta hear it. 605 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, but it's just used too 606 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: often acknowledgy days a kid need a mental health day, 607 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: three days a kid don't want to go to school. 608 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 9: Side that part, but I would not ignore the fact 609 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 9: that anxiety is a real thing. 610 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: No, I'm not talking about anxiety. 611 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: I'm talking about burnout being considered a type of anxiety. 612 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 2: It seems like everything now is considered anxiety. If a 613 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 2: kid is afraid to run the four hundred in track, 614 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 2: he has anxiety. It's like we clinically diagnose everything everything 615 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: when sometimes I'm just like, yo, get the fucking stick 616 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 2: out of your ass and try. 617 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 618 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 3: It has to balance. 619 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 6: No, I agree. 620 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 9: I think there's a there's a fear, and then there's anxiety, 621 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 9: and and one of most of those things can be 622 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 9: fear where kids are scared to do things. And then 623 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 9: there are some things that are legit anxieties. I know, 624 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 9: for example, Uh, Victoria early in her life had anxiety 625 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 9: that we did not understand. I especially didn't understand because 626 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 9: I don't really have anxiety about certain things. And if 627 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 9: I do have anxiety, I just I chalk that up 628 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 9: to just nerves or inexperience or just me just not 629 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 9: necessarily understanding the gravity of it all. But I had 630 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 9: to understand that her that she had anxiety, the anxiety 631 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 9: was real, and learn how to deal and cope and 632 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 9: teach her and culture through those things. So my only 633 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 9: point is to the anxiety that yes, I do agree 634 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 9: that everything in our society we can say, oh, it's anxiety, 635 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 9: But then there's a certain there's a certain place that 636 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 9: I had to grow up and be like, maybe I 637 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 9: should look into this, and I should I should probably 638 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 9: ignore the fact that I should ignore the tough love 639 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 9: sentiment when it comes to certain things like that. 640 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 5: And I will say this on the topic of stats, 641 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 5: the National Alliance on Mental Health did a poll a 642 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 5: survey asking people about burnout or their work and their 643 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 5: mental health, and they shared that sixty sixty two percent 644 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 5: of employees who reported on the survey feeling uncomfortable about 645 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 5: sharing about their mental health also reported feeling burned out 646 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 5: by their jobs. 647 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: So there's a dress. 648 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 5: They did a survey on ten two thousand people in 649 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 5: the workforce in the United States. 650 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: I can understand that because the United States is known 651 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 2: for overworking people in every aspect of But. 652 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 5: My point is that if you're you're unable to share 653 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 5: about your mental health because you might feel that anxiety 654 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 5: is not a real thing, or there's too much anxiety, 655 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 5: or I'm just feeling something else. I don't want to 656 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 5: talk about my mental health because you're not gonna believe 657 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 5: me or it's not real or whatever. 658 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: You're also struggling. 659 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 5: You might also be challenged because you feel burnt out 660 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 5: and you're forcing your way through it. 661 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: So this is my thing, similar to what Josh just 662 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: spoke about. When I got to the NFL. You know, 663 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 2: they have you speak with sometimes sports psychologists or you know, 664 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 2: you go speak to your sports you play a performance person. 665 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 2: And I went to speak to him and it was 666 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 2: just like, man, it sounds like the valle that you 667 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 2: grew up with, you know, performance anxiety.

This, This dude told me that I 678 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 2: grew up with performance anxiety and pretty much clinically told 679 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 2: me this is what it was. 680 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: And this and I was just like, okay, But then 681 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: when I thought about. 682 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 2: My life, I was like I always was concerned about 683 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: things that I had never done before, and the only 684 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 2: way I got rid of the fear was by practicing. 685 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 4: I was about to say that, so it's not even 686 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 4: really performance anxiety. It's once you feel confident enough to perform, 687 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 4: then that anxiety goes away because you're prepared. 688 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: But he told me I have performance. 689 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 9: I guess you can make your way through performance anxiety 690 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 9: like you can heal yourself of performance anxiety. 691 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 5: Preparing and performing anxiety isn't always something that is debilitating 692 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 5: or it takes over your life. When it does take 693 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 5: over your life, that's when you might need to have 694 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 5: medication or some form of like talk therapy or E M, 695 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 5: d R something like that. But if you have a 696 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 5: general anxiety about something, even if it's no, it's a 697 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 5: type of therapy. 698 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: Now you don't have anxiety. 699 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 3: It's a different kind of burned out. 700 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 5: It is a type of therapy that it's called eye movement, 701 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 5: desensitization and reprocessing. It's psychotherapy is a technique that helps 702 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 5: reduce distress associated with disturbing memories. 703 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: They use it a lot for PTSD and anxiety. 704 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 2: Like when you've dealt with certain traumas that you when 705 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 2: you have anxiety, that to me is very different than yeah. 706 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: Free to play this game, you know what I'm saying. 707 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 5: But yeah, so everybody has a level of anxiety. It 708 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 5: can be a medical issue if it gets to the 709 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 5: point where it disrupts your everyday life. And if it 710 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 5: disrupts your every day life, you might go to therapy 711 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 5: and a therapist might do something called exposure therapy where 712 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 5: they kind of force you to do the thing that 713 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 5: you're scared to. 714 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: Do, which is what you just said exactly. 715 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 5: But if you have a level of anxiety where it's 716 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 5: disrupting your everyday life, you can't get to that place 717 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 5: by yourself. So luckily for you, you're able to get 718 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 5: past your performance anxiety because you can force yourself to 719 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 5: do the thing that you're scared to do because you 720 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 5: don't have a level of anxiety that's keeping you from 721 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 5: doing that thing. 722 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 2: Copy So, since burnout isn't a clinical diagnosis, if people 723 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 2: can work through burnout, which is ultimately fatigue, to a 724 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 2: point where your so fatigue that you start to have 725 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 2: these symptoms of anxiety, pretty much that's what burnout is. 726 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 2: Han sleep, physically tired, headaches, you know what I'm saying, exhaustion. 727 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: So that's what burnout is. 728 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 2: And the reason why I want to separate the two 729 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 2: is so that when listeners are listening or whoever's watching 730 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 2: at home, you understand the difference between anxiety and burnout 731 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 2: and don't just mix because I think that's what happens. 732 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: Everything becomes a kerfuffle, you know what I'm saying. Everything 733 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: now gets put under one thing. And if we're really 734 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 2: going to have this conversation, I really want people to 735 00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 2: understand the difference. 736 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: Like burnout is not a clinical diagnosis. 737 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 2: Where you was born with burnout and you tend to 738 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 2: continuously always get burned out. 739 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Burnout is something you. 740 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 3: Can and self inflicted most of the time. 741 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: And that's what I want people to understand the difference. 742 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 2: Anxiety is something like y'all just discussed, you can't control 743 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 2: over it, but there's ways to work through your anxiety. 744 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 2: Burnout you have one hundred percent control over it. That's 745 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 2: why it's not a clinical diagnosis. So we can prevent burnout. 746 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 4: Right, but you may exhibit thingsts symptoms of right, it's 747 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 4: almost like googling something on webin dan and it's just like, 748 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm about to die because I have 749 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 4: all the symptoms at the same time, you know, but 750 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 4: it's easy to kind of get them across. 751 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 2: I like the separation of the two so people understand 752 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 2: because people also need to know when you have anxiety, 753 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 2: which is a clinical diagnosis and need to seek someone, 754 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 2: as opposed to just thinking I have burnout, And it's 755 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 2: important for people. 756 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: To know do you have anxiety or are you burnt out? 757 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 2: And understanding the difference between the two can help people 758 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 2: go get the help they need. 759 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 4: At what point do you because I thought this is 760 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 4: pretty interesting, do you tend to lose some interest in 761 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 4: your career or like your professional goals because of burnout? 762 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 4: I feel like I've never seen that with you where 763 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 4: you're like, Okay, I'm feeling burnt out, but you know, 764 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 4: I don't think I want to do this acting thing anymore, 765 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 4: like where it's ever been like a doubt. Do you 766 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 4: feel like it's just par for the course or do 767 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 4: you feel like because for me, I can see how 768 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 4: sometimes the doubt can now kind of trickle in, like 769 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 4: do I have what it takes. If I can't deal 770 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 4: with this and I'm burnt out trying to get to 771 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 4: this goal or this job or this next level, I 772 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 4: can see how it starts to force someone to question 773 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 4: whether this is even the right field for them. 774 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: This is how my hand do that. Unless you got something. 775 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 8: That I was going to say that low key burnout 776 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 8: help me.

When you get 784 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 2: burnt out doing something you really don't want to do, yeah, 785 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 2: it's like, yo, my body is telling me because with acting, 786 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 2: I'll get up tired, not tired because I love. 787 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 3: It, you love it.

I'm looking now at 842 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 9: what I'm doing versus what everyone I was comparing myself 843 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 9: to everyone else, like damn, this person went on vacation 844 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 9: and I'm stuck in front of the computer or and 845 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 9: shit happens a lot, like I'll just be here and 846 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 9: then I'll pick up this and everyone's else's life is 847 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 9: pasted like they're enjoying it. 848 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 1: That's what's wrong with the phone. 849 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 9: They're enjoying their lives, and I am not enjoying my life, 850 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 9: not enjoying what I'm doing. And it's it's not a 851 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 9: situation where I don't enjoy what I'm doing, insaid, I'm 852 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 9: doing too much of what I'm doing and I don't 853 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 9: have any balance. And then on top of that, you 854 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 9: don't have balance. 855 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 7: With your family. 856 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 9: Your family feels like they need you, but you're stuck. 857 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 9: It's almost like there is literally no escape. Which was 858 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 9: funny because when we talked about what burnout is versus anxiety, 859 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 9: burnout can be cured. Well, we talked about burnout was 860 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 9: an option, right, like you can do things to mitigate it. 861 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 9: But the reality is when you have no options and 862 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 9: you have to do this task, especially for me, I'm 863 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 9: going oriented, like. 864 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 1: You know, I like get your things done. 865 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 9: So when I don't have any options, I don't see 866 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 9: like there's an Like there's an option, but the option 867 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 9: is I won't make the money that I'm making, right, So, 868 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 9: like you sort of got to find a happy balance. 869 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 9: And what ends up happening is my product My productivity 870 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,439 Speaker 9: goes down. The quality of what I'm doing dramatically down 871 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 9: from operating at let's say, at an eighty percent level, 872 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 9: goes down to like thirty. And then I started missing things. 873 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 9: Deadline stopped slipping, email stopped slubbling. I remember at one 874 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,839 Speaker 9: point I had to email people in like January February 875 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 9: to tell to apologize for missing emails that were coming 876 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 9: in November December. Yes, and I'm like, I'm sorry that 877 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 9: I did this. I just couldn't get to you because 878 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 9: I was focused on other things and I really just 879 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 9: got depressed, like I just couldn't do it. 880 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: You know what you said that really stuck with me, though. 881 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 2: You said you picked up the phone and you noticed 882 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 2: that people were enjoying their life, and it made you depressed. 883 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: Comparison is the thief of joy, And the minute you 884 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 2: start looking at the highlight video of everybody else's life, 885 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 2: you tricked yourself out of your own joy because I'm 886 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 2: pretty sure of them people on the phone. 887 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: Of course, it's probably, but they posted that. 888 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 9: But the thing is that I desire that and then 889 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 9: it was attainable for me. It's not a situation where 890 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 9: I'm comparing them because I can't get to that. Yeah, 891 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 9: I know that I can. You want it, but I 892 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 9: am burnt out to the point where I can't get 893 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 9: there because I'm focused on what I'm doing. So it's 894 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 9: not that I'm not comparing their lives. I'm comparing where 895 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 9: they are. 896 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: That moment acts. 897 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 2: But did you see how taking your mind away from 898 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 2: your goal and focusing on someone else has brought you there? 899 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 9: It's just, it's just it. It's not directly related to it. 900 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 9: I'm not doing it because I'm comparing. It's literally the 901 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 9: season that I'm in. 902 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 2: It's literally I'm agreeing with you, but I'm saying, do 903 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 2: you see the fault in that? 904 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:36,879 Speaker 1: Though? 905 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is is you feeling depressed. Is the 906 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 2: symptom of you picking up your phone, not because you 907 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 2: were looking tom. 908 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 9: A symptom of the burnout. It's accelerated by comparing. So 909 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 9: we're on the same page. I'm burnt out, I'm tired 910 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 9: now I got to see everybody else. 911 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying. My point is is to 912 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 2: navigate burnout. When you feel like that, the worst thing 913 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 2: you can do is ever pick up your phone and 914 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 2: look at social media. 915 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: Because I'm already burnt out. I'm tired. Now I gotta 916 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: go look at this dude here who. 917 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 2: He's on vacation or he just booked something. And it's like, dang, 918 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 2: Like the value shouldn't even be focused on that. If 919 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 2: you're focused on your work, you'll get there. But since 920 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 2: you're not focused on your work because you burnt out, 921 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 2: you want to look at social media. Now you get 922 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 2: a reminder. I understand how you got that, and that 923 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 2: that I do the same thing. Me and Matt will 924 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 2: sit here right I feel burnt out, I'm let's go 925 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 2: watch a movie. I'll go watch a movie. Get there 926 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 2: and I get teary. Ey, I just want to do that. Bro, Like, 927 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 2: why I can't get a chance to do that yet? 928 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 2: And I didn't do that to I didn't watch it 929 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 2: to escape. 930 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 3: Happened so many times with us. I'm like, what's the matter. 931 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 3: He was just like, I just want to do that. 932 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: This be me brody watching it bro and I just 933 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:54,319 Speaker 1: be like I could do that. I look, I can 934 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: do that. Somebody's not giving me a shot, and they 935 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,840 Speaker 1: k't be like we were supposed to be just enjoying. 936 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, why are you acting like that's I'm realizing now 937 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 2: that you said that, that is that is freaking burnout. 938 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know crazy. 939 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 9: On the flip side, there are probably hundreds of other 940 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 9: people that still would want to take trade your place, 941 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 9: absolutely right. And my thing is I still haven't figured 942 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 9: out how to navigate it. I know how to fix burnout. 943 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 9: I need to just stop doing work. I literally need 944 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 9: to stop doing work, take a few days, nap, chill, relax, 945 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 9: get my mind off of this, and completely reset. The 946 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 9: problem is how do you do that when you have deadlines? 947 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 6: Deadlines? 948 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 9: And we talked about it, like thinking that you everything 949 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 9: is cool, filling up your plate, adding these extra projects 950 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 9: that you know you want to do, but then like 951 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,479 Speaker 9: I committed to this, I am not going to let 952 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 9: people my name is on it. I'm Joshua, Like I 953 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,320 Speaker 9: gotta finish this task. So I've realized, like picking opportunities 954 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 9: make being selective, also warning people ahead of time. Yo, 955 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 9: I'm doing this for you as a favor. I got 956 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 9: things that are on the slate.

You says up to those two when people 1001 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 2: don't have a plan and they're not thinking about longevity 1002 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 2: and they only think about instant gratification. That's when mistakes happen. 1003 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 2: That's so someone burnout happened.

He was just he was just 1040 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 4: some months out of a serious, long term relationship when 1041 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 4: we met. He didn't get intimate until over a year 1042 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 4: after we met. I'm forty plus, I was a virgin 1043 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 4: when we met, so he's my first. Well, congratulations, you 1044 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 4: pop the cork. 1045 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 3: I love it. 1046 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 4: The thing is, I'm ready to be working towards a relationship, 1047 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 4: but he's taking his time. Initially, it was fine because 1048 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 4: I've had to learn to slow down and just enjoy 1049 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,920 Speaker 4: being with someone I like. I used to be anxious 1050 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 4: in relationships, but as I've worked on myself through therapy, etc. 1051 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:24,879 Speaker 1: Etc. 1052 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 4: I'm more secure now. And though I'm not rushing, I'm 1053 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 4: also not willing to be single for another year. We 1054 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 4: like each other a lot, but I'm scared that I 1055 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 4: might end up five years later in the same status. 1056 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 4: We're both not seeing anyone at the moment, but he 1057 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 4: isn't ready to be exclusive. I'm open to meeting other 1058 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,240 Speaker 4: people and have tried, but nothing. No one has happened yet. 1059 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 4: Would appreciate some advice as I navigate this. All right, 1060 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 4: So forty plus virgin when you met now he's your first. 1061 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 4: So is it that you're going for the gusto now? 1062 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 4: Because it's like, listen, I just I just gave it 1063 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 4: up after forty plus years, Like. 1064 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,760 Speaker 1: Well, Tom, this is it? Tim is ticket? 1065 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 3: This is it? 1066 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 7: Like? 1067 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 4: If we be honest, and if he's coming a couple 1068 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,359 Speaker 4: months out of a serious long term relationship, then he's 1069 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 4: probably not wanting to get back into another potentially serious 1070 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 4: long term relationship. Was this a conversation that we had 1071 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 4: before y'all were intimate? Does he want to be in 1072 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 4: another long term, serious relationship? Like I'm curious to know 1073 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 4: if that conversation was had, because if you both were 1074 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 4: going into it with different viewpoints, different intentions, then that 1075 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 4: could potentially be a problem. 1076 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 1: What you think, babe, I understand where she's coming from. 1077 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 2: She's forty plus and she's probably like, Yo, I gave 1078 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 2: this man my body. If you've waited that long and 1079 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 2: you finally give this man your bodies, like, I want 1080 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 2: to see what's next. I understand that the only problem 1081 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 2: with that is that's not how life works. Because you're 1082 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 2: ready don't mean that you get to rush somebody. And 1083 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 2: so often we hear from people in relationships one is 1084 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,799 Speaker 2: ready to do something and one is not right. And 1085 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 2: at first I thought it was just oh yeah, no, no, no. 1086 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,239 Speaker 2: I thought it was we're going to get a bunch 1087 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 2: of women who were just like I'm ready, I'm ready, 1088 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 2: I'm ready to men like I'm not ready. 1089 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: But we're seen over the past couple of years they'd 1090 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:08,879 Speaker 1: be dudes. 1091 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 2: They'd be like, yeah, I'm ready for her and she 1092 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 2: So I'm starting to realize that, yo, people want things 1093 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 2: on their own time, right, Asking someone else for advice 1094 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 2: on how you should navigate that person is probably the 1095 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 2: wrong thing. Speak to that person directly and say, hey, 1096 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 2: this is what I'm looking towards, this is what I'm 1097 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 2: looking forward to, this is what I think my timeline 1098 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 2: is going to be. How does that work with you? 1099 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 2: And then when they tell you listen to them. Don't 1100 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 2: listen to them with the intent to change their mind 1101 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: to get on your plan. 1102 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: Listen to them and then listen to them. 1103 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 2: If he says, well, I've been in a relationship for 1104 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,479 Speaker 2: a long time, I'm not really you already know he's 1105 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 2: not looking to get into a relationship, and if you are, 1106 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,319 Speaker 2: now it's time to start making some decisions about what 1107 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 2: you want for yourself. This is why when people ask 1108 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 2: me and send me dms yo, my man or my 1109 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,879 Speaker 2: girl is doing this what you think I'm like? Don't 1110 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 2: ask me, ask yourself and ask that person. Once you 1111 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 2: get the information, use discernment to choose yse. There's no 1112 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 2: advice we can give you other than speak to him directly. 1113 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 4: When I heard you say, I thought I thought you 1114 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 4: were going to say. When people say oh, well, I thought, well, 1115 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 4: I thought, because to me, the I thoughts become the 1116 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,840 Speaker 4: thief of clarity, like you thought. But was that what 1117 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 4: the person said, right? So to piggyback off of what 1118 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 4: you said. Yeah, the conversation, if it hasn't been had already, 1119 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 4: I think is something that needs to be had, or 1120 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,240 Speaker 4: maybe should have been had prior to you becoming intimate, 1121 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 4: because I can imagine how after waiting so many years 1122 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 4: to finally then you know, share that with someone you 1123 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 4: want to now take this seriously and know where this 1124 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 4: is going to go. 1125 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 2: What you said, I think is the point. What you 1126 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 2: just said, though, don't tell somebody what you thought. If 1127 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,879 Speaker 2: they haven't told you what they want, or if they 1128 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 2: have told you, don't tell them what you thought they 1129 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 2: told you. 1130 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:51,439 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. 1131 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,960 Speaker 2: So it's like, and if you haven't had the conversation 1132 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 2: and they haven't told you, don't say you thought. That 1133 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 2: means you created a narrative in your mind, your own mind, 1134 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 2: which is a mistake. So you shouldn't be thinking. If 1135 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 2: you have somebody, ask them when they tell you listen. 1136 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: So I like that point. 1137 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 4: I love that anybody else got two cents for our 1138 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 4: listening letter today? 1139 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 1: I do. I was hoping I was hoping you to 1140 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 1: ask about to let this nigga have it. Watch. 1141 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,880 Speaker 5: No, no, no, I'm just like, if you are forty plus, 1142 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 5: you are a virgin, why you let this man take 1143 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,000 Speaker 5: your virginity?

It's not. 1151 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 5: She didn't know, so she should have just waited till 1152 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 5: she got the ring. And I say, you know, you 1153 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,400 Speaker 5: fucking now you might as well, you know, busted wide open? 1154 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 1: Then don't get you another I know for real. 1155 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,160 Speaker 2: I do feel you though, because I am wondering though, 1156 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 2: if you forty plus, why wait to give it up now? 1157 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 1: If you're not married?

Take a couple of days, and. 1326 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Of course this is important and scary, so really like 1327 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 2: this important. 1328 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 4: So then there's that component of it being just like 1329 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 4: lack of sleep out of my regimen. 1330 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 3: I wasn't working out for two weeks. 1331 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 4: I was eating maybe two meals a day, so I 1332 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 4: really was not taking care of myself while I was working. 1333 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 4: And then of course on flow the minute I rat 1334 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 4: to come tap dancing on my head. You know, she 1335 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 4: rains on every parade, right, so that's happening. At the 1336 01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 4: same time, she's a little bitch, she a little bit, 1337 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 4: but so that was happening also. And I remember saying 1338 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 4: that day, I don't know what's wrong. But something is wrong. 1339 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,479 Speaker 4: And I kept saying, I don't feel right, something doesn't 1340 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 4: feel right, and I thought maybe it was a bit 1341 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,680 Speaker 4: of anxiety. I said, maybe I'm going through like withdrawals 1342 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 4: from filming because I was having such a good time. 1343 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 3: I'm like, am I now in a city of depression 1344 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 3: because I enjoyed working? Like what is happening? 1345 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,400 Speaker 4: Then I get this massive headache on one side of 1346 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 4: my head and I'm like, Okay, maybe I'm dehydrated because 1347 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 4: I haven't been drinking my gallon of water a day. 1348 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,880 Speaker 2: And this is why it's important to know your partner. 1349 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 2: Because I looked in her eyes. Her eyes were super 1350 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 2: super low and glossy, and the tent wasn't white like 1351 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,479 Speaker 2: she had like a slightly yellowish tent eyes. 1352 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 1: I was like, yo, something is wrong with right. 1353 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 4: And then I'm laying here with him on this I'm 1354 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,080 Speaker 4: actually sitting behind him on this couch. And then I 1355 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 4: just start to feel really nauseous and I'm like and 1356 01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 4: I was like, the last time I felt something kind 1357 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 4: of like this was when I had the postpartun pre 1358 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 4: plansha with Dakota and something to say, check your blood pressure. 1359 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,200 Speaker 3: I went to check my blood pressure. My blood pressure was. 1360 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 4: One forty two over one hundred, which is wild high, 1361 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 4: wold high for me. I'm like, your classic, like one 1362 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 4: eighteen over sixty eight kind of girl. So for my 1363 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 4: blood pressure to be that high, and all I'm thinking 1364 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 4: to myself is like, I haven't done anything that would 1365 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 4: warrant a high blood pressure right now, aside from the 1366 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 4: heavy period drinking. I was, yeah, I've just been doing 1367 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,600 Speaker 4: all the things. So I took my blood pressure. I 1368 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 4: called my sister, of course, because now that she's a 1369 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 4: nurse practitioner, she know a lot more about the whole 1370 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 4: medical feeling. I'm like, she's going through like the motions 1371 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 4: in her head, like we're checking the boxes of the 1372 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 4: things that can or can't be And she's just like, 1373 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 4: all right, take two tile and all, get some hydration in, 1374 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 4: eat a meal. If the headache doesn't subside, then I 1375 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 4: think you should go to the er. 1376 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 3: So I don't take it serious. 1377 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,760 Speaker 1: From the minute she told me her blood pressure, I was. 1378 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,680 Speaker 4: Just like, yo, go, So I tried not to panic 1379 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 4: because I think that's gonna make it worse. So I 1380 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 4: ended up taking the tilenol, had something to eat. 1381 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 2: She did tell you too, we took the blood pressure. 1382 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 2: Then she took it again on the same arm and 1383 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 2: it went up. It was at like one oh six. 1384 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 2: And then she said, don't take your blood pressure on 1385 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 2: the same arm twice. This is important for people to 1386 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 2: know because once it's squeezed. 1387 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets stretchedls. 1388 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 2: Then when you try to take it again, it's automatically 1389 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 2: going to be high. So she switched arms and took 1390 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 2: it again and it was below one hundred, which is 1391 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 2: why we didn't go to the hospital. I think that's 1392 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,080 Speaker 2: important till somebody at home has it and they keep 1393 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 2: taking their blood pressure. If they know what is getting high, 1394 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 2: it's because you're taking that in the same arm. 1395 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, So this arm was a bit lower. 1396 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 4: It was like one point thirty something over like ninety seven, 1397 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 4: which is still high, but it was better, right, So 1398 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 4: I took the tilenol, hydrated all of that stuff. Didn't 1399 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 4: want to take a nap because I just feel like 1400 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 4: when you don't feel well, I feel like taking a nap. 1401 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 4: You just don't want to sleep. So I stayed up 1402 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 4: and everything the headache subsided. So she said that was 1403 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 4: a good sign. And I just realized, like I just 1404 01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 4: in those two weeks probably burnt myself out to an 1405 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,960 Speaker 4: extent and didn't even realize it because I was on 1406 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,120 Speaker 4: such a high from the adrenaline and everything happening and 1407 01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 4: being in a happy place that my body was literally 1408 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,520 Speaker 4: telling me, bitch, get the fuck back it together, like. 1409 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 3: My body was in shock. 1410 01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,240 Speaker 4: So to tie in my moment and truth with that 1411 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 4: quick story is to say, listen, when you. 1412 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 2: Was added somebody, you know how she always said my 1413 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 2: stories be long. 1414 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,560 Speaker 1: Nobody going to tell her that her story was long 1415 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,600 Speaker 1: or it's only me trouble, but you don't. 1416 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:38,160 Speaker 3: The story to say.
