But just hear 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.440 me out. So nowadays fat has a bad rap. We 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.480 hate it, we fear it, we name it, we blame it, 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.960 we shame it. Some people will do whatever they can 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.360 to destroy and eliminate its wrath from their lives. But 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.760 whoever said that fat was ugly or something to be 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.600 ashamed of? And whoever said that fat was a bad thing? 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.040 And whoever said that fat was anything other. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.600 Than well fat? 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.920 But since it is such a prevalent enemy in today's world, 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.039 and yes I'm putting enemy in air quotes, but since 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.480 it's not going away anytime soon, we might as well 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.399 learn about it and hear about it and learn about 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:33.080 its properties. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:33.280 Right. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.160 In fact, if all we do is hate on fat 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.039 and wish it away, we might miss out on its 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:45.560 useful and downright cool characteristics. There's physiological, neurological, and psychological 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.120 components of fat, but no one is talking about that 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.960 side of things. And after all, it is this metabolically 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.080 active substance that's part of our bodies, right, But most 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.440 women don't know about that side of it, and when 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.600 you think about it, we fear what we don't know. So, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.640 for example, I used to be super scared of going 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.160 into the ocean. So besides the whole story that I had, 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.560 you know, that my body was not meant to be 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.000 seen in a bathing suit, and that my you know, 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.880 it was a lot of my body image stuff really 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.640 that contributed to that story of not going into the ocean. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.600 But I also had a story that I was downright 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:23.840 afraid of the ocean. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.600 You know, things biting me or attacking. 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.320 Me, or you know, sharks with laser beams and imaginary 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.600 alligators in my mind most likely, but irrational fears, nonetheless, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.160 because none of the things I was afraid of actually 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.760 happened to me, but in my mind it felt like 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.080 they had. And like we've talked about before, your nervous 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.880 system can't tell the difference between a real or an 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.120 imagined experience. So one day a good friend of mine 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.720 was like, hey, do you want to get over this fear? 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.079 And I was like, yes, please, I mean I really 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.960 wanted to. So he walked me out into the water, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.040 and I inevitably shrieked like this little girl every time 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.480 seaweed grazed my feet, and you know, just further and 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:04.320 grain my fears. 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.040 So here's what he did. He picked up some seaweed. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.919 And he had me look at it, and he had 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.320 me hold it and touch it and see it and 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.640 feel and experience that it wasn't going to hurt me, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.400 but also to show my logical brain that this is 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.320 what was grazing my feet and it wasn't a shark. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.400 And so as soon as I saw it and I 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.880 faced it head on and I touched it, I was 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.920 able to go in the ocean and now actually get 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.000 in the water after thirty years of not. So I 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.600 share this with you just to impress upon you that 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.960 if you do have this kind of dysmorphic relationship with 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.120 your body fat. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.160 As in, you know, the subcutaneous. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.160 Fat on your body and not nutritional fat, which is 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.800 another topic on its own. I'm talking about the fat 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.880 on your body. That's why I urge you to actually 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.480 look at it and learn about it and discover what 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.600 it is and really what it's not, and that way 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.920 you can dispel the lies and actually learn what. 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.520 It takes to shift it if you want. 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.280 To do that, both in your mind and on your body, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.000 because I promise you it's way more than an eat 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.720 less move more conversation, like way way more. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.480 But it's also such a confusing topic. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.840 I mean, if you ask one hundred different people what 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.240 the best way to you know, lose fat or lose 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.359 weight is, you're going to get a hundred different answers, 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.240 and most of them will definitely, you know, take you 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.919 down that road of eat less move more, which a 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.680 lot of times perpetuates the struggles with disordered eating and 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.520 body dysmorphy and all of that if you don't have 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.600 a healthy relationship with food. But they'll most likely take 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.279 you down one of the avenues that you know, the 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.719 fitness industry created, but in my opinion, that's old school 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.800 thinking and if you're anything like me again, that's what 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.240 created a lot of my own disordered patterns in the 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:43.839 first place. 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.400 Because what you eat and how you move is is. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.719 Yeah, it's part of the equation, but it doesn't cover 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.520 the whole picture. And so when it comes to your 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.560 body and your health and yes, you're fat, there is 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.560 a cause and then there are its effects. Okay, something's 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.600 going on upstream, and then there's a result taking place downstream. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.840 And I truly believe, and science will back me up 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:11.480 that your health, body and emotional struggles are simply effects 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.480 of something going on higher up in your brain. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.360 And nervous system. Right. 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.680 And when I talk about nervous system, what I really 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.679 mean is that system of systems that dictates everything. Okay, 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.800 And so in this series specifically, we're going to talk 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.719 about a subject matter that really does baffle most women 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.560 and causes more shame and sadness than any topic I've 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.000 ever encountered, and it's your fat. We're going to talk 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.080 about your fat. Let's get to the bottom of this 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.560 conundrum and just distill the facts, Okay, because all of 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.320 the conventional approaches are missing out on the most important 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.240 factor like what is fat? 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:46.560 Right? 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.240 What kind of fat is it? And you'll hear what 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.839 you'll know what I mean, you know when we go 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.360 through this series, and. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.400 Why is it there? How did it get there? And 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.480 is it serving a purpose? Right? 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.840 Because sometimes on a brain and nervous system level, it's 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.640 actually serving a purpose, which we'll talk about, and most importantly, 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.400 like what is keeping it from going away? If it's 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.280 causing something negative like maybe it's causing too much stress 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.279 on your joints, or maybe it is restricting your muscles, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.120 or maybe it's keeping you in an unhealthy state. Right, 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.599 And so that is a three dimensional conversation and a 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.440 three dimensional you know question, because it's not just a 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.640 body thing, and it's not just a mind thing, and 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.560 it's not just a brain thing. It's really all three 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.479 And if we don't get all of your three dimensional 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.279 self playing on the same team, everything that you do 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.520 to influence your situation will probably just create temporary change. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:40.880 And so you might be able to. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.520 Motivate yourself or willpower your way there and you'll see 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.320 some temporary results, but you won't be able to create 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.839 those permanent changes that you desire until you address the 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.000 cause of the problem and really create true freedom and 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.240 health for yourself, which which is really what you want. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.320 And of course I mean that you know, holistically, three dimensionally, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.840 and of course that's going to be relevant when we're 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.479 talk talking about your subcutaneous fat and as you'll learn, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.520 fascia as well. And so you want to make sure 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.839 that you're addressing the actual wiring in your brain that's 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.360 keeping you stuck. Okay, And like I said before, and 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.280 what I've found throughout my own trials and successes on 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.680 my own body and the bodies of every single woman 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.000 I've ever worked with the problem, and the solution is 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.800 three dimensional, like we said, And until you address both 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:28.480 the internal and external environments that are influencing your physical, mental, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.640 and emotional you know wiring, unfortunately, your fat isn't going 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.440 to go anywhere in the long run, right, So what 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.040 can be done about it? Well, we're going to open 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.400 up this can of worms on today's podcast and really 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.680 throughout this whole series. Okay, So this is part one, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.160 and so on this episode, I'm going to enlighten you 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.640 on this magical tissue that we call fat and it's 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.600 really cool relative fascia and in future episodes. We're going 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.920 to be getting into some methods and philosophies that I 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.800 feel will change the game for you when it comes 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.400 to accepting your body and working with your body, and 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.760 taking this topic of fat on your body and flipping 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.680 it on its head so it doesn't own you or 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.760 define you. So let's just go ahead and dive on in. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.640 So let's just go ahead and dive on in. But 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.640 before we dive into the meat of it, I want 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.600 to just give you a bit of context of how 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.440 my big fat story went down for me and how 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.760 I discovered everything I'm going to share with you, and 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.480 really why it's relevant to you, as in, you know 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.680 why you should care about your tissues, right and trust me, 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.640 I used to say the same thing. I didn't care 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.760 about any of this, right I was, you know, when 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.280 I was at the height of my disorder, I was 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.920 just chasing skinny or chasing lean or whatever. But after 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:47.600 my surgery, the craziest things started happening. I shared a 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.320 lot about what I'm about to talk about in the 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.600 Learn from My Mistakes episode here on Outweigh, which we 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.440 will link in the show notes. But because I wasn't 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.880 taking care of my body, and like I said, I 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.360 was just chasing skinny as I now call it, but 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.560 you know, I was ignoring my true health. Yes, I 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.560 had a lot of you know, psychological struggles with food 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.600 in my body, but I ended up needing major spine 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.640 surgery because I was super injured. 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.440 But I kept trying to work through it. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.920 Right, Yeah, Like that's really how toxic my relationship with 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.880 my body, you know, really manifested because like I said, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.800 I was really injured, but I was like, oh my gosh, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.600 if I stopped moving, if I stopped working out, I'm 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.120 going to gain all this weight. Like it was a 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.840 give and take that I didn't know how to get 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.800 out of. But it's also what eventually woke me up 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.280 to address it. And so I really am grateful that 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.480 that happened. But just to give you some context, my 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.560 surgery was a success, but I had a lot of 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.079 neurological struggles after my surgery. And so the first thing 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.280 I noticed is I just felt different, like I went 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.880 under anesthesia and it's like the lights went out and 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.480 when the lights came back on, I just kind of 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.920 felt different. And I wasn't really always able to describe it, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.080 especially back then, but it was mental, like mentally I 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.640 felt different. It was definitely physical. And the first physical 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.640 thing I noticed that was from my pinky finger to 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.240 my pinky toe on my left side, So that whole 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.080 line on my left side from pinky to pinky, I 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.160 just couldn't feel it as much as I could feel 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:12.800 my right side. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:14.920 And so some people. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.800 Are like hyper sensitive and have pain after a major 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.880 injury or surgery, but for me, it was almost like 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.880 I was undersensitized and I had desensitization on that side 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.319 of my body in terms of how well my muscles 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.800 were firing and just how that side of my body moved. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.880 But on the flip side of that, it's almost like 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.920 I was given this gift because my body awareness was 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.000 also hyper sensitive, Like I could feel everything on this 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.960 new level, and that part of it wasn't just physical, 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.080 like it was emotional energetically physically, I could just feel 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.680 other people's emotions more too, not just my own. So 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.240 it was it was quite the contradiction, you know, Like muscularly, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.600 I couldn't perform as well on my left side as 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.959 I could on my right side. But on a sensitive 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.679 level and a body awareness level, I had this whole 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.440 new gift, so to speak, but I didn't call it 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:07.240 a gift at the time. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:07.520 It was. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.840 It actually really scared me. You know, keep in mind, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.160 I was twenty five. I was scared nobody could help me, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.640 and because of what I was doing on a career level, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.160 I also felt like a fraud because back then, and 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.680 you know, this feels like an alternate lifetime and alternate 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.560 universe now, but I was supposed to be this you know, 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.920 fitness expert on TV and in the media and all 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.000 of that, and here I was figuring out what was 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.439 going on with my own body in the background. And 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.320 that's a whole other topic on its own, one that 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.840 I touched on in the Learn for My Mistakes episode. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.800 But one of the main things I noticed, or one 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.320 of the first things I noticed, i should say, was 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.120 my fascia, which I'll tell you about in a moment. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.800 And the only reason I discovered fascia is because I 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.120 was just playing around by massaging the left side. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:52.480 Of my body. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.000 Like I told you, I couldn't really feel the left 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.160 side as much as I could feel my right side, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.520 so I was always trying to kind of wake it up, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.680 touching it and using tools like foam rollers and getting 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.200 massages and dry brushing. I mean, you name it, I 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.160 was doing it. If there was a gadget, I owned it. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.760 And I discovered that there was this area of my 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.240 glutes where my glutes just pretty much weren't turning on, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.200 like they were not firing. And then I noticed that 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.640 there was pockets of fat on my hips and my 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.360 sacrum area, and that it was relational to where my 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.040 glutes were not firing, Like it was almost fat pockets 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.959 covering up my glutes, but it wasn't this normal subcutaneous fat. 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.760 It felt very thick and sticky and fibrous, almost like 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.960 it was casing or incasing my glutes, and in a 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.120 ways it kind of felt like scar tissue. But I 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.680 knew enough about the body to know that it was 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:48.840 some sort of fascia. 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.480 So I noticed that and it caused me to literally, 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:53.800 I mean, this is fifteen years ago. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.679 I just started googling fascia and learning about it, and 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.160 from there on out, I have been obsessed with fascia, 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.920 or as my dorky self likes to say, I've been 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.400 fascionated by it. In side note, just to give you 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.760 an idea of how obsessed I am and have been 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.480 obsessed with it and how much of a difference just 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.200 knowing about fat and fascia has made on my life. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.720 I actually own fashionate dot com like I've had it 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.520 for years because I always knew I was going to 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.240 share my truths about it and ever since I discovered 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.160 the connection between fat and fascia. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.800 You know, at first, it actually really made me mad. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.440 And it made me mad because I was like, why 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.400 is the world not talking about this right? And obviously 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.040 now I realize that being mad doesn't serve me and 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.880 it doesn't serve you or anybody, but it was that 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.720 much of a game changer for me, I should say, 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.560 So I'm no longer mad about it, obviously, I just 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.880 want the world to know about it. And really that's 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.520 why we're here, and it is such a big topic. 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.280 And unfortunately, most of the world in mainstream knowledge is 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:57.320 not connecting the nervous system and fascia to your health. 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.760 So if this podcast episode and see you even just 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.000 helps a small pocket of the world understand what a 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.360 big player fat and fascia are in your health journey, 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.880 well that would honestly just make me really happy. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.760 So that's what the goal is. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.480 And we're gonna do just that, and I'm going to 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.040 tell you all about this magical world of fat and 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.280 fascia and why it can be the game changer for 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.960 you that you didn't even know you were looking for. 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.560 And so we're going to talk about the specifics of 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.160 fat and fascia and why you should care in just 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.440 a moment. But first I wanted to share with you 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.640 something that I wish somebody had told me when I 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:33.200 was younger. 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.960 I wish I had gotten this memo. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.120 When I was spending all of that time and energy 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.240 harming my body just to you know, chase thin or 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.000 chase skinny, like I said I was doing. And here's 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.600 an analogy I use with my clients to drive my 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.280 point home. So you know how whenever you get a 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.600 first like you first get a new phone or a 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.200 new gadget, you take really good care of it and 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.520 you protect it like it's this sacred thing, right And 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.880 I know for me, I like I would do my 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.280 best to make sure that the screen didn't get a 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.480 scratch on it, and that it was you know, safely 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.440 out of harm's way of the bathtub or toilet, and 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.200 that it was safely nestled in a protective case, you know, 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.480 you know, just in case I dropped it, But then 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:14.200 you know, inevitably that first drop would take place, you know, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.000 the one where you suddenly feel like you're in slow 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.440 motion saying like no, as you see it falling to 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.800 hit the floor, but you're not fast enough to be 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.960 able to do anything about it, and you know your 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.760 panic was probably unnecessary, and you know, you pick it 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.560 up and realize like, okay, it got its first scratcher bruise, 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:31.520 but it was gonna be fine. 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:31.760 Right. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.560 But for me, with every new phone I get, you know, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.480 the new novelty wears off little by little, right like 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.800 the shiny new object loses it's just out of the 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.080 box luster after so long, and other things become more 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.640 of a priority than taking care of your phone. And 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.480 so the days and the weeks and the months and 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.080 sometimes years, if it makes it that far, they pass 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.520 and life goes on. But then I don't know, if 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.560 you remember back in the day, like they had those 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.440 they would send out emails being like you can get 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.360 a new phone, and so you'd get that in inevitable 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.920 email from your cell phone company. And for me, like 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.040 you know, letting me know, I'm I'm almost due for 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.320 an upgrade. And you know again back when they had 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.040 those upgrades and you would replace your phone every few years, 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.080 and it worked like a charm for me, right, for me, 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.520 it got me started like scanning the latest models and 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.240 having daydreams about my future cell phone partner in crime and. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.480 You know, premeditating all the things we would do together. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.160 And I'm just kidding, but you know, why wouldn't I 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:24.600 do that though? 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:29.080 Because they were enticing me with this free upgrade. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.920 Why wouldn't I do that though? Because they were enticing 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.400 me with this free upgrade. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.400 By this point, though, every time I would look down 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.000 at my current phone, which was still probably in pretty 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.800 good shape, I would notice the scratches or I would 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.640 notice how banged up it was, or you know, bogged 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.120 down or slower it had become. And of course, you 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.080 know these are first world problems, right, but like roll 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.560 with me for the sake of this analogy. But like 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.960 when it happens, you start noticing, like, okay, it's slowing down, 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.880 and at that point in time, you probably wish you had, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.760 you know, a faster, better, newer one. And for me, 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.840 I would start dragging that thing around like it was 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.320 a burden, you know, like secretly waiting for my upgrade 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.439 to come through, or secretly hoping it would fall in 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.639 the toilet so I could get a new one instead 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.639 of the one I had, because you know, the honeymoon 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.080 was over, right, and the thing I used to look 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.600 at with googly eyes and take care of it like 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.119 it was my firstborn child was officially a nuisance or 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.040 an annoyance and something I couldn't wait to get rid 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.240 of or replace, Okay, And the idea of being stuck 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.720 with it, like that's not what I wanted, right, And 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.480 I know this is a really hard knock life example 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:41.000 that we're talking about here, but roll with me because 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:41.760 we're all. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.600 A bit guilty of this when you think about it. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.080 Right, Maybe it's not your phone per se, but there's 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.520 something in your life that you treat like gold. Maybe 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.560 it's a friendship, Maybe it's a relationship when it's new 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.399 and exciting, right, And of course at the at the 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.679 beginning of anything, it gives you that, you know, the 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.400 post purchase or post connection dopamine rash that feels oh 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.280 so good in the moment, But just like any gadget 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.679 or gizmo like you use it until it doesn't operate 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.280 efficiently anymore, or there's. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.840 No more rev and it's engine. So think about that. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.760 And now let me ask you, how do you treat 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.760 your body? And I don't just mean your arms and 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.680 your legs and the hair on your head. I mean 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.440 all of it, all the little bits and bobs that 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.880 comprise this miraculous piece of machinery that we are all 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.040 pretty dang fortunate to be able to test drive throughout 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:32.040 our lifetime. 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.879 So do you treat it like your old cell phone? 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:35.120 Right? 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.800 Do you treat it like you have another one waiting 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.000 for you on standby or at the phone. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:40.920 Factory or Apple store? 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.600 Do you love it and protect it and care for 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.040 it as much as you would a brand new iPad 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.919 or gulp, a brand new car. And the truth is, 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.520 and I will be the first to admit this, I 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.920
