So 44 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: I do attempt to like throw out the lifelines to 45 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: create these relationships and keep the family tree in air quotes. 46 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: But I do feel like, I mean, it was funny, 47 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: like even when it came down to delivery room, I 48 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: asked Jana to be in with me because I thought 49 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: she's going to advocate for me, She's going to know 50 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: how to like well, love me and take care of 51 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: me better than my mom would, I mean truthfully. 52 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 5: So the thing is, yeah, I think that there's so 53 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 5: much research that shows that we need community. It's so 54 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 5: important for our mental health, our physical health, our cortisol levels, 55 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 5: for longevity. But we often assume that needs to be 56 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 5: something that we're like inherently related to, or there's some 57 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 5: sort of bloodline. I do this series on my podcast 58 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 5: about the pros and cons of having kids, and I 59 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 5: had on this therapist whose entire work is helping people 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 5: decide whether or not to have children, and she said, 61 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 5: a really good option can be if you're kind of undecided. 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 5: A lot of people end up being really happy having 63 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 5: one kid. You kind of get the experience, but you're 64 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 5: not as deep into it as if you have two 65 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 5: or three children or more than that. And I shared 66 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 5: that on social because it was really compelling to me. 67 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 5: I'm leaning towards having one kid, and people erupted at me. 68 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 5: They were like, oh, my gosh, your kid's going to 69 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 5: be so lonely. Only children are so lonely. How could 70 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 5: you do that to a human and I'm like, community 71 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 5: is going to be at the forefront of my mind 72 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 5: every step of the way. But that community doesn't need 73 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 5: to come from my uterus, you know. 74 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. And also I'm lonely and I have siblings, so 75 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: that too. 76 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 5: How many people do you know with siblings where they 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: hate each other? 78 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 4: You don't want that to be the. 79 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 5: Case, but it can happen. And I have so many 80 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 5: friends that that's happened to. 81 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: Like, I love him and he's great today he turned forty. 82 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: Actually I facetimed him this morning. I still call him 83 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: the baby. You know, he has a mustache and a family, 84 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: but he. 85 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: Sure he loves that. 86 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's interesting because I'm not It's not like 87 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: he's not the first person I call when I you know, 88 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: and then I even still feel a little guilty saying 89 00:03:59,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: out loud to you. 90 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of people though, yeah, 91 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people. As you get older, 92 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: their first people are more friends, not family. I know, 93 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: people like the first people you'll call, the first person 94 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: you want to talk to. That like you feel more 95 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: connected to your friends. I feel like not everyone, but 96 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: I feel like that's pretty common. 97 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: So I don't know because three out of three of 98 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 2: us feel that way. But I'm like, do birds of 99 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: a feather? I mean, I definitely feel that way, but 100 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: I will say I get a little envious when I 101 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: told my therapist is too or I'm sorry our therapist. 102 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: You all have the same therapist we do.

Then I realized I'm like, oh, well, 135 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: it's fine, I'll just take my friend and you just 136 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 2: have to accept the relationship for what it is. But 137 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: it still kind of stings a little bit to be 138 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: like I wish I had that. 139 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 5: Also, I think it's like anything else in life where 140 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 5: I mean, I see so many of those things and 141 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 5: I don't have that type of relationship either with my mom. 142 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: And what we see on social media. 143 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: Is like not the Norman. It's just the thing that 144 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 5: we see because of course the people who are like 145 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 5: besties with their mom are going to be gramming the 146 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 5: Hawaii vacation, you know, right, Yeah, So I think it's like, yeah, 147 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 5: it's like it's important to take a step back, and 148 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 5: it's I also think it's important to have these types 149 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 5: of conversations because same as like with friendships, our friendships 150 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 5: change and grow and evolve over our lives. And sometimes 151 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 5: the friends that we make as an adult feel better 152 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 5: to us because they reflect the selves that we like 153 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 5: to see ourselves as as at that moment back to us, 154 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 5: versus the people who are kind of reflecting your high 155 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 5: school self, or your childhood self or your college self. 156 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: And I think family can sometimes get stuck in reflecting 157 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 5: a version of ourselves back to ourselves that we are 158 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 5: no longer that person. We've evolved, we've changed, we've moved on. 159 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 5: And I think it's so important too if we want 160 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 5: to keep those relationships from our past strong give space. 161 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 5: I have a tip in my book actually about like 162 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 5: always letting people evolve in front of you. 163 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: With our partners. 164 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 5: I think we do this all the time with our 165 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 5: romantic partners. We kind of trap them in the people 166 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 5: that they were when we met them, when we've been 167 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 5: doing all this work in the past decade, and why 168 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 5: wouldn't they have been doing that same work as well. 169 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: So I have a question around that because something very 170 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: similar just happened to me around the friendship part. And 171 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: it's someone that I had been friends with for you know, 172 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: ten plus years, I'll say that, and I remember sitting 173 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: there having a conversation just going, we're just we're so 174 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: different now that so we've grown a part so much 175 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: that I don't know if I would be friends with 176 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: this person if I met them today. But I feel 177 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: like I'm almost not that I have to be friends 178 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: this person. But it's just, you know, I was even 179 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: thinking like wedding lists, and I'm like, well, she'd be 180 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: hurt if I didn't invite her, but she's not a 181 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: I don't I would be hurt. 182 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Because I'm over here going, oh, we're doing. 183 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: The math carrying the one looks like we got extended 184 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: on them. But you start to like, I start to go, okay, 185 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: it's I think it's okay. Obviously people grow apart, But 186 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: to have that like kind of realization that I'm like, 187 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: I don't even know the effort that I would not 188 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: that's not the effort because I'm like, I still care 189 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 2: about this person, but I just like, they're not going 190 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: to be on the short list, and I think their 191 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: feelings would be hurt. But at the same time, we're 192 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: just so different. 193 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. 194 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: It's like a It is tricky though, because to your point, 195 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: I don't think everyone's sometimes doing the same amount of work. 196 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: So but that can be something we look for in 197 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 5: friendships too, right, It's like the in our relationships and 198 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 5: our friendships and our relationships with our family, Like we 199 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 5: can say it's important to us to spend time with 200 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 5: people doing the work, and then we can kind of 201 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 5: scale back the time with people who aren't doing the work. 202 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: Is that one of the hundred things one hundred ways 203 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: to change your life in your book? 204 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 3: Nine? 205 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 206 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: Can we have distance to divide the book?

That one is 209 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 5: take the risk, and that's based on research from Dan 210 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 5: Pink that shows that by and large, in our lives, 211 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 5: we regret the risk that we don't take far more 212 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 5: than the risk that we do take, even if those 213 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 5: risks end up as failures, like even if we don't 214 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 5: succeed at the risk, we still regret it less if 215 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 5: we take it.

I 237 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 5: wish we did more of this type of thing, And 238 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 5: actually just getting it out there in the open what 239 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: you would like from the friendship, and then if nothing 240 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 5: happens with that, she was a friend or she was 241 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 5: a fan of putting people in sort of different categories 242 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 5: in your life and being okay with that. Like, not 243 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 5: everybody has to be a wedding friend. Not everybody has 244 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 5: to be a middle of the night bestie. Some people 245 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: can be people you see a party. Sometimes you send 246 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 5: a quick text to when you see something exciting has 247 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 5: happened in their life life on social media, and that's 248 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 5: completely okay. 249 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: Give us the impath guide to doing that, because I 250 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 2: think that's where we struggle.

I was like, well, 355 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: this house is a risk because I just don't know 356 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: how it's going to look in a couple of years 357 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: or whatever, and because everything is so not promised today 358 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: and obviously but just work wise. So I'm just curious, 359 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: do you have any other tips when it comes to 360 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: just living your life? And I know you say take 361 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: risks and stuff, but not you know, feeling held down 362 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: because you're afraid of what might happen. 363 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 364 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I have a lot of money anxiety. I call 365 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,119 Speaker 5: myself like anxiously attached to my money and an attachment 366 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 5: issue relational style. But I think my favorite tip in 367 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 5: the book about money, It's twofold one, is to take 368 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 5: the decision fatigue out of money as much as possible. 369 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 5: So I think we spend a lot of time thinking 370 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 5: about the little parts of money that are just weighing 371 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 5: on our brains, whether it's do I Robby at Sati, 372 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 5: who's somebody that I interviewed. 373 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 4: He wrote I Will Teach You to Be Rich. 374 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 5: It's a great book as a Netflix series, et cetera. 375 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he came on the podcast for Thursday Therapy. He's fantastic. 376 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 2: Did he help no matter how much? 377 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 5: Yeah? 378 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: He's like, no matter, He's like, what would you feel 379 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: comfortable having in your account? And I was like, you know, 380 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: trying to talk to him about it. He's like, I 381 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: promise you you'd still not be happy when you have 382 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: that like mindset. He's just like, you're always going to 383 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: be like, no, that's not enough, or I need I 384 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: need this, and yeah. 385 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 4: He's well, And I think it depends. 386 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 5: One of the things that's going to call it for 387 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 5: him is that he automates so much of his decision 388 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 5: making around money, so like he has a role that 389 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 5: if he goes to bookstre and he wants a book, 390 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 5: he doesn't think about it. He just buys the book. 391 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 5: He knows that's something that he can always afford. And 392 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 5: by taking the decision fatigue off the table of like 393 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 5: do I buy this book? Do I not by this 394 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 5: book making these little rules about money. So for me, 395 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 5: a rule that I've been lucky enough to make about 396 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 5: money is that I don't think about how much money 397 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 5: I spend at the grocery store. 398 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 4: I used to debate about it. 399 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 5: I'd hem and haf I should buy like the expensive 400 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 5: ollie pops and poppies and whatever. And I'm just like, 401 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 5: this is not impacting my finances in the long run. 402 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 5: Why am I spending my time thinking about this? But 403 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 5: I also think that He has a really nice zoom 404 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 5: out perspective of like, we are making money outside of 405 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 5: taking care of our basic circumstances to enable our best lives. 406 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 5: So what does your best life look like? If you 407 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 5: think your best life is in a beautiful home that's 408 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 5: going to make you feel cozy and secure and you're 409 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: going to make all these wonderful memories with your friends 410 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 5: and family, then that's something that it probably makes sense 411 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 5: for you to spend more money on. And then outside 412 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 5: of that, and I think a really important thing for 413 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 5: that is like freeing yourself of the societal shoulds. Like 414 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 5: I do not give a shit what kind of car 415 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 5: I drive. 416 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 3: That's yeah, same, literally. 417 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 4: Could not care less. 418 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 5: But sometimes I'll get that little inkling when my friend 419 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 5: drives away in like a really cool car, and I'm like, oh, 420 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 5: should I care about that? I don't give a shit 421 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 5: about designer bags, like having a Chanel logo on my 422 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 5: bag does nothing for me. But sometimes I'm like, well, well, 423 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 5: people think I'm less successful if I don't have this 424 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 5: logo on my clothes. And I think kind of removing 425 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 5: any of those shoulds and noticing when they spring up 426 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 5: is really important. But it sounds like you have, like me. 427 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 5: Outside of that, you need to feel safe and secure, 428 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 5: and I think recognizing that after a certain level, and 429 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 5: I think there's definitely a level where money is going 430 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 5: to be the thing that makes us feel safe and secure, 431 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 5: and we need to recognize all the people who don't 432 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: feel safe and secure because they don't have enough money. 433 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 5: But after a certain level, that need for safety and 434 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 5: security is not around money. It's around something else that 435 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 5: happened in your past and your childhood, and working on 436 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 5: addressing the root cause of that is going to help 437 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 5: you so much more than making more and more money. 438 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 2: Well, sure, I mean I came. I came from my 439 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 2: mom who we'd always cut coupons, right, So it's like, hey, 440 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: we were a coupon family, you know. And it was 441 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 2: like we couldn't get that because it was too much 442 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: or you know, and so I had to quit things 443 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 2: because we didn't have I had to quit figure skating 444 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: because we didn't have the money for it, and she 445 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: had to work three jobs. So there was like so 446 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: then I didn't I don't really think I had security 447 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: until later in my early thirties, to be honest with you. 448 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: So it's so new that you know then he was 449 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: basically saying, like your house and your car the things 450 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: you shouldn't spend money, and I was like. 451 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 3: Oh crap. 452 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: I was like, I really I was about to move 453 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 2: into it, you know, because he was giving us percentages 454 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: of like what to you know, and I'm like, well, 455 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: I'm over it. But at the same time, again, I 456 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 2: don't care what kind of car I drive, So I 457 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: was just like, I went less on that. 458 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 5: And I also disagree with that slightly, Like I think 459 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 5: it's he's obviously the expert, and I sed to his 460 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 5: expert advice largely, But I think we have to think 461 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 5: about what our home means to us. And I think 462 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 5: even if your home isn't going to be the best 463 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 5: investment that you ever make, and Remy has really interesting 464 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 5: numbers around that that are contrary to a lot of 465 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 5: what we hear, our home matters emotionally, and I think 466 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 5: getting really clear on what your home means to you 467 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: from an emotional level can be helpful. And it sounds like, 468 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 5: especially if you had a lot of insecurity and lack 469 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 5: of safety in childhood, creating that secure and safe space 470 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 5: for yourself would be really really. 471 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: Important, yes, especially peace that and that's the piece that 472 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: makes me want to cry because I'm like, all I 473 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 2: want is just a safe place for not only me, 474 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: but for my children, you know, and just like that 475 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: the things that I would never want to happen in 476 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: past homes to happen here, like this is like my 477 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: sacred like ground. 478 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: So I'm like, and now you would Steve. 479 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: I always go to Steve Harvey, but he's just like, 480 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's and I don't know if this 481 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 2: is a tip that you'd agree or not agree, but 482 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 2: he's like, you should be uncomfortable, like you will work 483 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: harder when you're uncomfortable. And I'm misquoting it, but basically like, yeah, 484 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 2: it's I can pull up the exact one, but it's 485 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: just like I'm constantly uncomfortable. Yeah, but this home does 486 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: matter to you on a different level. I think that's 487 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: the thing too, Like it's it's not a superficial thing 488 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: to me at all.

I mean, this is it right? 490 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 2: I just think failure, though, is in me is a 491 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 2: deep route too from like past. So it's like I 492 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: don't want to fail. So that's you know, I lot of. 493 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: Tips about that. 494 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 5: I love failure. I just did an entire podcast about 495 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 5: how to get out of a slump, and one of 496 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 5: the listener questions that I addressed was like, I am 497 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 5: too afraid to take to take risks and to do 498 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 5: things I want to do in my life because I'm 499 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 5: afraid of failing. And I was, like, every successful person 500 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 5: that I know has failed so many times. 501 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I mean I have many, and those I've learned 502 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: the greatest lessons from them. 503 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 4: You learn the. 504 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 5: Greatest lessons, including the lesson that like, you can take 505 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 5: those risks and you will be okay and you are resilient. 506 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 5: And I think you can only teach yourself that through practice. 507 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 5: So you learn like the practical lesson like oh I 508 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 5: should do this differently next time, I shouldn't trust this 509 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 5: person whatever, but you also learn the lesson of like 510 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 5: I can fail and I can be okay. And I 511 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 5: also think to an extent, life is sort of a 512 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 5: numbers game. So if you take a lot of rest, 513 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 5: you're probably gonna have a lot of failures and some rewards. 514 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 5: But if you don't take rests, you're not going to 515 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 5: have any rewards and you're not gonna have any failures. 516 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you do a really good job 517 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 2: at though, like you just are like we're doing this 518 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: when it comes to like your kids, and. 519 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I was thinking about the grocery store thing, 520 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: though I'd probably have a lot more money if I 521 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: actually looked at how much I'm spending at the grocery store. 522 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: That I'm just like whatever, I'm gonna get whatever I want. 523 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 2: But I'm going to go on these great vacations, like 524 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: and that's my priority. 525 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: Like I will probably not end up. I mean, I 526 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: would like a bigger, nicer house, but that's not like 527 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: my top. I spend more time in my car, so 528 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: I kind of want my car to. 529 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 3: Be you know. 530 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: So it's just priorities are just so different. You're always hosting. 531 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: I never really hosted my house, you know. So it's 532 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: just all different. So vacations are top for me. And 533 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,479 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of my husband is always freaks out 534 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 1: about money. He definitely has anxiety around money, and I'm 535 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: just like, this is what we're gonna do. My priorities 536 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: traveling and you know, so it's just a balance just 537 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: and everyone has different priorities. 538 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm married a preacher's kid who grew up with nothing, 539 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 2: So we have a huge scarcely mentality issue at our Well. 540 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 3: I grew up with nothing, but I kind of went 541 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: the opposite way. 542 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: Same same like, I'm like, God has proved so many 543 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: places where I thought I would hit a low yeah, 544 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 2: and I've just never it. I see it's a I 545 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: get scarcy mentality to say never, but just always has 546 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: provided for me. So I feel like it's okay. Then 547 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: why aren't you moving into the neighborhood because you're so 548 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: My next question, because my husband's in music, is there 549 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 2: a chapter on scarcity in the music industry? 550 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 5: I mean, I am in a career that's also sort 551 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 5: of inherently up and down. You never, it's dependent on 552 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 5: your audience and people being engaged in algorithms and are 553 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 5: people gonna buy my buck? Are people going to listen 554 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 5: to my podcast? And I think the thing that's helped 555 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 5: me most is building belief in my own resilience. And 556 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 5: I think that for your husband, he will building the 557 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 5: belief that no matter what the world throws at him, 558 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 5: he has the skills, the mindset, the ability to handle 559 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 5: that thing because we can't control obviously so much of 560 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 5: what's coming from the outside. But over the years, I've 561 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 5: been able to build a belief that like, I can 562 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 5: I can pivot. I'm scrappy, I'm adaptable, and I think 563 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 5: that that serves me more than any outside assurance possibly could. 564 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's a hustler, Like it's the thing that 565 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: I'm most like. All the people that I'm most drawn 566 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: to are these like the grit having hustler people. I 567 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 2: think we all are like never going to settle for 568 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: just like hanging out on a couch. 569 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 5: Well, and I think that's like a cool compliment to 570 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 5: give him instead of like, oh, this is so cool 571 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 5: you worked with it. I don't know what he does 572 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 5: in the music industry, but I feel like, if oh 573 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: this is so cool you worked with this artist, you 574 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 5: got this award, those are cool, but he's already those 575 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 5: are things that are ephemeral and they can go away. 576 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 5: But instead like saying to him, I so admire how 577 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 5: scrappy you are. I love that you're a hustler. I 578 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 5: think that's so cool. Like I think it's amazing that 579 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 5: you're gonna do whatever you want and succeed no matter what. 580 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: And I told him, I'm like, dude, you didn't marry, 581 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 2: like we will team up and we will handle shit 582 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: like I'm a stay at home mom now because I 583 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: can be. I still want to do things and need 584 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: to do things, but also like we're just never going down. 585 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: I think he's witnessed so much of I think he 586 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 2: doesn't understand the balance of like what he has seen 587 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: is because there's an equal level of effort that matches 588 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: what he's seen and our level, even his level sleeping 589 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: is gonna well surpass where his family came from, Like 590 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: he can't, you know, so we just won't be that. 591 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 3: We can't be. We're like it's not in our DNA well. 592 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 5: And going back to what we were talking about with feeling, 593 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 5: you know, insecure, feeling like everything might go away, I've 594 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 5: had to realize that the thing that's going to make 595 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 5: that feeling go away is it going to be making 596 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 5: more money. It's going to be giving my childhood self 597 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 5: what they never got, which was love, acceptance, the reassurance 598 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 5: that I've got this. I did not get that as 599 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 5: a child, and so I've been really working on giving 600 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 5: that to myself, and that's honestly impacted my anxiety and 601 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 5: my sense of safety and security far more than any 602 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 5: amount of money. I've ever been able to make. 603 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 2: That's a real out of your book, And that might 604 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: be it, But what is the what is the number 605 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: one for you out of the hundred that you're like, 606 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: this is what I will live and die by, Like 607 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: your kind of thing that gets you through your to 608 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 2: make your best life. 609 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 4: So the thing is it does change. 610 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 5: I really wanted this book to be a resource. First 611 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 5: of all, it's really pretty, So I wanted it to 612 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 5: be the kind of book you would put out on 613 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 5: your coffee table and you would flip through as part 614 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 5: of a morning routine or when you want a motivation 615 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 5: moment you're just kind of like, if I can't get 616 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 5: off the couch, I'm scrolling on social media a lot. 617 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 4: You pick it up, you read a tip. 618 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 5: The tips are about five to ten minutes of reading 619 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 5: each and you get the science and then you get 620 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 5: action to do with that science. So I wanted it 621 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 5: to serve as a resource for there's a time you're 622 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 5: really struggling with gut health issues, we have a section 623 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 5: for that. If there's a time where you're struggling with friendships, 624 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 5: we have a section for that. If there's a time 625 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 5: you're struggling with relationships. We have a section for that, 626 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 5: but right now, the tip that's really resonating with me 627 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 5: is about rewiring your neural pathways for happiness. Have you 628 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 5: guys heard about this concept at all? I love it. 629 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 2: So. 630 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 5: It's from doctor Rick Hanson. He is a psychologist at 631 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 5: UC Berkeley, and he does all of this amazing work 632 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 5: about how we can literally rewire our neural pathways so 633 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 5: that we feel more happiness on a moment to moment 634 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 5: basis in our lives. 635 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 4: That we do that is by when we feel good 636 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 4: things when we notice a sunset. 637 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 5: These gonna be like little little little things when you're 638 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 5: in a hug, if you like that hug for a 639 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 5: little bit longer to just kind of sit in it, 640 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 5: when you're smelling your dog's like fur, your kid's hair, 641 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 5: or anything like that, These little tiny moments you want 642 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 5: to sit in it a little bit longer than you 643 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 5: normally would sit in it, and then you want to 644 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 5: turn up the dial on feeling it a little bit more. 645 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 5: You just kind of want to like, oh, yeah, the 646 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 5: sunset is so good, my cat's first smell so good. 647 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 4: And what that's going to do. 648 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 5: That lingering in that amplification is going to literally rewire 649 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 5: your neural pathways. Your neural pathways are like a meadow, 650 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 5: and if you were going for a hike, you're kind 651 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 5: of like making a path in the meadow, making a 652 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 5: path in the meadow, making a path in the meadow, 653 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 5: And those are all different thoughts that you're thinking.
