<v Speaker 1>How has the co parenting been going for you lately?

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Karen and Sierra both asked.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>About this good.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 3>I yeah, I think good. We've had a few new

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 3>things to navigate now that Been is dating but or

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 3>has not just dating. He has a girlfriend because he's

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 3>been dating but having one specific long relationship, and so

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 3>there's new things to navigate with that that I didn't

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 3>really think about, and I think I've had to surrender

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 3>some of my expectations, which has been hard, but also

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>totally okay. I have more peace about it because that's there.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>He's creating a new life, and it's not that I'm like, oh,

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 3>I need to be a part of your life. I

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>just I don't know. We'll see how it all unfolds.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm very happy for him, and he's just created new

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 3>conversations and new scenarios and situations that we've never had

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.919
<v Speaker 3>to discuss before. And I'm not saying I've always handled

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>it the best, just because i'm, you know, trying to

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 3>figure out your kids are spending time with somebody new

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 3>and trusting that the other person has, you know, made

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>a good choice, and whoever the partner is. I'm speaking

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 3>as a whole. I'm not even just talking about Ben.

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about so many people that are going through

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 3>this right now. And even as you, like, as I

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 3>start to date, knowing that who I'm dating, if they're

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 3>going to be around my kids, how are they showing

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 3>up and do they care about them?

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Gosh, it's so tough.

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like dating was so hard for me

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 2>just as a single person, but I cannot imagine you're

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>also considering your kids going through that whole process at

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the same time.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been so thankful that Ben in his relationship,

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 3>has been very thoughtful of that with the kids, and

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>he is with someone that is very thoughtful with the kids,

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 3>and so in that I'm thankful. But when you when

0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 3>you don't know you're at the beginning, it's you're little like, okay, well,

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, and our kids being adopted and people in

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 3>and out of their lives. You know, you just want

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 3>to make sure.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>There's consistability as much as you can.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Or like how close are we going to get with

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 3>this person? And then how serious are things? But then

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 3>that's a boundary for me to cross if I'm trying

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>to understand how serious something is, and maybe not for everybody,

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 3>but for Ben doesn't have to tell me that. So

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>that's been interesting to navigate. I guess I've just yeah

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 3>new things, and I know that he'll have new things

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>when if I bring someone into the mix. But the

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 3>cool part is somebody had to go first, and we've

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 3>gone first with him, and I think we learned a lot,

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 3>so hopefully we kind of know.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>How to navigate.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Navigate you if a man is coming into the kid's life.

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, which you know what, I hope it does

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>at some point when you're ready and when life happens,

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope it does for you.

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So I'm thankful for been being in a good

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>relationship with someone good and then you know TVD on Me.

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>TVD Chrissy wants a Harry menopause.

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>In testosterone Update, how are things?

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.799
<v Speaker 3>The testosterone has definitely helped the brain fog for sure.

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 3>I put it on the back of my knee every day,

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 3>two pumps, I do the cream. And the question I

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 3>get the most when I have talked about it online

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 3>is how do I get that? Do you have to

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 3>get a prescription? Can I just go buy testosterone cream?

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 3>And it's a prescription. So you also need to know

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 3>what dose you need, like do you need one pump?

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Do you need two pumps? Do you need three?

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>And how did you figure that out? Is just like

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>through a obgy.

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.239
<v Speaker 3>I went and got blood work done at my doctor

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>and realized I had wherever women are supposed to be

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 3>with testosterone, even like the lowest part that's acceptable for

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 3>women to have. I was below that, so I was like, oh, okay, well,

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I guess I need some. And at the time, it

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 3>was really struggling with brain fog and just thought it

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 3>was me or something going Obviously it was something going

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 3>on with me, but you know, I would have never

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 3>associated it with testosterone. I just thought it was something

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 3>going on in my brain.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>It's wild how.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Our body reacts to things happening going on and putting

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the pieces together. It's like our body's this giant puzzle

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>that were constantly trying to navigate right.

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 3>And I was just lacking in that hormone. And once

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I gave it that hormone, it started responding more appropriately.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>So the brain fog is better, so I recommend it.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 3>But some people love the pellets, some people love the cream.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.239
<v Speaker 3>I know that there's this. I think there's another option.

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 3>I've had people tell me about and I can't remember

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 3>what the oh, something they were putting under their tongue

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>and it was dissolving. My doctor never said that was

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 3>an option. She only gave me the pellet and the

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.679
<v Speaker 3>cream option, and I opted for the cream, and I'm

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 3>for me that's worked. But everybody's body is so different.

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, if you can get the blood work done

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 3>and figure out what you need. And when you're in

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>your forties, just so much changes. Lots of things change,

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, stuff with my cycle. I mean, this might

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 3>be Tami, because who's the guy that give us the confliment?

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 3>We have got some guys listening, but you're the my hmm,

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 3>some hot flashes and my hormones, Like I feel like

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 3>I have to check my for lack of a better word,

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 3>rage more often, like I have to be in check

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>with it. But I try to pay attention, and I

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 3>try to be proactive and do things like to take

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>care of myself so that it doesn't at least your

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 3>right don't snap and scream or something.

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>That's so hard.

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 2>That's so hard to recognize that and stop that before

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 2>it happened.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 3>And when you're in the comfort of your own home,

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 3>it's like, well, I have to get out here, because

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 3>clearly I can control it and behave at work or

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 3>in public settings, but sometimes at home, like a it'll

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 3>just come over me and I feel like a animal

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 3>or something like I'm like, what is happening, which I

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 3>mean happening.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Like we see all those stories of people, especially like women,

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 2>when they're having this huge moment and it's in public.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You're like, what is going on? Maybe that's what's going on?

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I have a lot of compassion for now women.

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 3>It so perimenopause can often start anywhere from thirty five to.

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I have five more years. Cool. Well it's

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>different for everybody. That's that's the thing. But like if

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm you know, look at.

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>It from an outside picture, like, cool, I got five

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>more years.

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I have a period like all the time.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Not all the time, but it feels like I'm just

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 3>always it just comes and goes and then comes and

0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what is happening?

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>You're like, this is not cool?

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and my opgo is like, welcome to this is

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 3>just how your body's responding. But she did give me

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 3>comfort and that a lot of times people try to

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 3>fix this. Obviously, you need to regulate hormones if you can,

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 3>and take care of yourself and do things to serve

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 3>yourself during this season. And I'm just at the beginning,

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 3>so I've even gotten to feel like the really difficult part,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 3>but also have grace for yourself and no, nut, you're

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 3>not broken. Nothing's wrong with you. This is quite literally

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>what your body's supposed to be doing. It's doing what

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 3>it's supposed to be doing. And then the testosterone has

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 3>nothing to do with my perimenopause.

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>They're separate, got it.

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 3>So just offering that reminder of having grace for yourself

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and compassion because your body's doing what it's supposed to.

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Do, well, that's so wild.

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 3>That's the next time you scream at your house, be like,

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 3>it's cool, I have grace side compassion.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>You're like, it's okay, I can go through this. It's not.

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just yeah, definitely make sure to do it at

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 2>your house. Maybe not in public at other people.

0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you no can.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.559
<v Speaker 3>I think I've talked about this with for like going

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.199
<v Speaker 3>outside and throwing ice cubes and on my back porch.

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 3>I saw on TikTok this one girl goes into her

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 3>bathroom and she has a bowl of ice and she

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.599
<v Speaker 3>just throws the ice into her bathtub.

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I would be scared.

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know the bathtub's durable, but I would

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 3>want to miss and like crack something. And I know

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 3>that it's ice, but I mean I can throw it

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 3>pretty hard. So that's why I felt safe doing it outside,

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 3>but in case you have neighbors and you're not like

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 3>able to do that. I did see the bathroom hack

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 3>for getting out some you know, just feelings or whatever's

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 3>happening to you.

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I like it. That's a good life hack. What'll be

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you right back?

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>All right? This is from Kayla. How does your sister

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 2>feel about you moving from the house she had just

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>designed a room before.

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she feels totally supportive and fine. She knows that

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 3>that house holds a lot of heavy memories and I

0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 3>could have stayed in the home, and that's not one

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent why I'm moved at all. But and the

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 3>reason why she came to decorate that room is because

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 3>it was the room that my dad was in and

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 3>she wanted to give it a new vibe because you know,

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 3>that's where I last really like spoke to him before

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 3>he passed away. And then there's other heaviness in that

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 3>house too, from other things, and I just I feel

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>okay releasing it. Of course we had the energy had

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 3>flipped and it felt good. But it also feels really

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 3>good to be moving. And so she's excited for me

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 3>to have a new start and a fresh start and

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 3>we're downsizing, and it's gonna be more quaint, which I've

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 3>always liked, and closer proximity to my kids and now

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 3>all these people I'm in teens I want to have

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 3>over at my house all the time. So she's excited

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 3>for that, and she's coming in town to help me

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 3>put the house together. So we'll just transfer everything Justice

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 3>pick it up the movers. Well, there's a little room

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 3>that's very similar, and we're just gonna redo the whole thing.

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean it, not the Unfortunately, the walls probably won't happen.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 3>That was one of my favorite things that she did,

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.199
<v Speaker 3>her and her husband did at that house. I probably

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>won't repeat that here. But we'll lay the rug down,

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 3>put the chairs down, put the lamps up, that the

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 3>ca Bueno sign up that she had made, and it'll

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 3>feel like the same room.

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so she's excited.

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 3>She's literally coming to town the week that I moved

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 3>to help me.

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I can't wait to see it all. It's going

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>to come together. So well, okay, this is coming. And

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't include her name just in case. My parents

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 2>just told me they're getting a divorce. I'm a young adult.

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Any advice, I.

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Think that divorce really can impact adults. I experienced it

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 3>as a child. I sort of feel like I experienced

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 3>twice because my parents. My dad left when I was nine,

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 3>and my parents were not together. My dad had another relationship.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 3>They lived together. It's basically they were husband and wife.

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 3>But then at eighteen, my parents legally got divorced, and

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 3>then my dad had a wedding and married his live

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 3>in girlfriend. So my best friend from high school and

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I were talking about this when she was in town.

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 3>She came to Nashville for my birthday in March, and

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 3>she was like, remember your dad's wedding, Like, you did

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 3>not handle that well. I had to leave early, and

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I think it's because I knew that my parents had

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 3>just signed their divorce papers like the week before, and

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 3>it's like they were waiting till I turned eighteen or something.

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it was. I don't know why they

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 3>handled it the way that they did, but they chose to,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.719
<v Speaker 3>and my mom sort of at that moment. I think

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 3>if my dad would have said, Hay'm coming back, she

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 3>would have taken him back. So she was sort of waiting,

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 3>and I lived in this confusion, even though I'd go

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 3>over to my dad's and be like, well, there's my

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 3>dad in cricket, And then I'd be at my mom's

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 3>and she's single and not dating because she'd take my

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 3>dad back. And so for me, I experienced it at

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 3>nine years old, and then I experienced it at eighteen.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 3>And I have other friends I know have experienced it

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 3>in their twenties. And you would think, well, you had

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 3>your parents together through your whole childhood and you know,

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 3>high school, college, like, maybe it won't impact you as much,

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 3>and it still really does. So I would say pay

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.599
<v Speaker 3>attention to that. Talk to somebody if you can, do

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 3>you have friends you can talk to, Can you get

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 3>into some therapy to get ahead of things. So I

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 3>think there's just a lot of confusion that could come

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 3>up because you've looked at your parents a certain way

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 3>for twenty whatever years, and then now the whole dynamic

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 3>is changing, and you're grieving maybe the future you thought

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 3>you were going to have with your family, and just

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 3>having compassion and grace for your parents, knowing they're doing

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 3>the best that they can, at least, I would assume,

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 3>and that they're not trying to hurt you. At least

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 3>that's what I have to remind myself all the time

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 3>with Sasha and Stevenson and Ben and I getting a

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 3>divorce last year. But I'm definitely not a divorce expert.

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I can I don't know what my kids are really feeling.

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 3>They seem to be a dusting well. But I did

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.719
<v Speaker 3>see Tim Fletcher, really, this is his name. He's a

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 3>He's on Theovonne's podcast and he was talking about new research.

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how new, but the divorce is affecting

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 3>children more than we have thought and more than we've

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 3>let onto. So I think as the parents divorcing, we

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 3>need to be more proactive and making sure that we

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 3>have the tools and the resources to support our kids

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 3>and ourselves during that time. And then as young adults,

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 3>since you are able and you are grown, you know.

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 3>In you're a kid, you don't know, you don't You

0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 3>only have access to what you have access to. But

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 3>as a young adult, you're asking the right questions. You've

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 3>sent us a question. I'm not an expert. I can

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 3>just share with you that you have the ability to

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 3>try to get in contact with help, and I say

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 3>the to try, because I don't know everybody's financial situation.

0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Therapy can be expensive but maybe looking at where you're

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 3>investing other things, can you shift it around, because I

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 3>think this is a critical moment for you to make

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 3>sure that you handle it well and that will serve

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 3>you down the line so that it doesn't explode on

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 3>you when you're in your thirties and you're you.

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Know, yeah, you never probablyss your own relationships and stuff.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I hope that helps. I'm really

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 3>sorry to hear that about your parents.

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that was really great advice. We're gonna go

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 2>from that and take one more break. We'll be right back,

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 2>all right, rapid fire. We're coming at you with four questions.

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>You ready, ready?

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 2>If you could have your own line of something, what

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 2>would you choose?

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Cookies? Cookies? Yeah, I was gonna say food too. I

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>don't really know what that food would be, but it

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>would definitely be a food.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 3>If I want my own line of cookies, that's like

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 3>everything in the kitchen sak, like the cookie that's like

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 3>the salty sweet cookie with the chips and the yeah. Yeah,

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 3>like everything in and everything except for no no raisins

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 3>and no nuts. Come on, no no raisins, no nuts.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Did by everything? I mean not that.

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm with you. I think I might be like

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a cheese. I love my own line of cheese because

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I really like me too.

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, it has been the best part about life recently.

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Kirsten from Canada, Well.

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 3>And I saw the cardinal as much as the guys

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 3>made fun of me. I saw a cardinal when I

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 3>went to an open house and I wasn't planning on

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 3>even selling my house. I just decided to randomly go

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 3>one day and I saw a cardinal and it was

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 3>my mom, and she gave me a message of peace,

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 3>like I felt it in my body. A piece that

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 3>came over me when I saw this cardinal and just

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 3>an you know, a piece that was saying, sell your house.

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Everything's going to be fine. Sell your house, Everything's gonna

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 3>be fine. And I didn't have that piece prior to

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 3>seeing the bird. I wasn't even really for sure thinking

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 3>about selling my house at all. I just saw the

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 3>open house randomly and Caitlin and I decided to go.

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 3>And so that is that's like pretty cool.

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>And now you've sold your house.

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean in the way it all happened, it's

0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 3>there's no way now. I totally believe that's cuckoo as

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 3>it sounds, You're not. She gave me that piece in

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 3>that moment, and I had to listen to it, and

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.959
<v Speaker 3>I had to act. And I listened and I acted

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 3>and it boom boom boom, you know, And not to

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 3>say that something like that is easy. And there's certainly

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 3>been some hiccups. But even with the hiccups, I feel peace.

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and you're not cuckoo. Okay, I think it's great.

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a great sign.

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:23.760
