It can't cost me, but 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: I won't charge you. The other thing is, if it's 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: a subject matter that really matters to me. So okay, 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: if it's a thing, a subject matter that really matters 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: to me.

You know. But somebody told me 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: one time they were reading a book and they said, 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: if something you should try this, if something somebody I 36 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: should do something, you don't automatically think yes, then say no. 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: And she was like, just try to do that for 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: a few months because I feel like I been just 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: kind of all over the place. I just got my 40 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: real estate license, okay, so I'm like, okay, I want 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: to focus on this, but I also have my coffee company, 42 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: and I have the coffee shop. I'm expanding that business. 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on, and sometimes that doesn't bring 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: in money. So there's a lot of things I end 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: up doing just because I want to promote other things. Well, 46 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: there's a balance, but that's your choice. Right. 47 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: The thing that I learned is it doesn't honor me 48 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: to give away my time. It doesn't honor me, right 49 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: unless i'm supporting you know, if you're a nonprofit, you're 50 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: doing something that I care about, and me being there 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: is going to bring you in people and that matters 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: to me, then I'll do that. But it doesn't honor 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: me for you to sell tickets with my name on it. Right, 54 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: call people forward, and I don't make any money. Time 55 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: is money, now, you're right about that. 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: So Angela, sometimes you got to say it does not 57 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: honor me. 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: And know she thinks that I say yes to too 59 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: many things that I shouldn't do.

Even that list of restaurants they talked about 70 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: that that women said that they won't go to on 71 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: a first date. 72 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: I know, I love the Cheesecake Factor, I love those 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: little corn things, and I like Applebee's and the movies 74 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: because I think the movies was on there, and I said. 75 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: That's kind of a go together.

But the other 94 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: thing is men are just not emotionally solid. They're not 95 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: They haven't done the work. A lot of them were 96 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: raised by mothers who were not emotionally solid. 97 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 5: Sorry moms, I raised the son too. 98 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: A lot of them will been traumatized and never taught 99 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: how to process it, and so they're not safe. And 100 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: you know, women today are a lot more aggressive in 101 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: our approach to life in general, right, And and we've 102 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: done more work than them, So we have some things 103 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: that are solid that they don't and and and they've 104 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: got to catch up. 105 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: Now what do you mean by we're more aggressive women today? 106 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: And why do you think that is? 107 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 2: Well? 108 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 5: Oh, Lord help me. 109 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: We we have become what I call men in skirts. 110 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: We are so aggressive, so demanding, so unaware. Really we 111 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: think we got it going on, but women really aren't 112 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: aware of their power because our power as women is silent. 113 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: If you really know what you're doing, you can work 114 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: a room. 115 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: Yeah you think I've been told I'm BOSSI Yeah.

But I'm 130 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: not mean. 131 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 4: Okay, do you are you aggressive? 132 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 5: No, I'm assertive aggressive. 133 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 4: What's the difference? 134 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, your intention okay, an assertiveness it's 135 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: about dominion and accomplishing a particular thing, and aggressive it's 136 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: about control and getting what you're going forward. 137 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 5: And there's a difference. 138 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 2: One comes from the head, one comes from the heart, 139 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: A searching comes from the heart. Aggression comes from the head. 140 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: And it's ego and and women today. I find certain 141 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: generations of women today are extremely aggressive, unkind, unloving and 142 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: mean as hell. 143 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: God see, I'm very much an EmPATH. I think, yes, 144 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: because sometimes there'll be things that I'm thinking, but I 145 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: always give people an excuse. I'll be like, well maybe 146 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: they have X, Y and Z going on, or maybe 147 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: they didn't mean it that way. 148 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: Why is that an excuse as opposed to a broader 149 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: perspective than somebody's self centered ego? 150 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 5: Demand? Why is that an excuse? 151 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm very I always about that. I'm 152 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: an EmPATH though, because you have to, like I will 153 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: a lot of times, try to understand somebody else's point 154 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: of view and look at it that way. Now, I 155 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: want to before we get too deep into that, I 156 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: do want to bring up one topic you had on 157 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: your page, which is about women proposing to men. I know, 158 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: so I want to talk about it now that you 159 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: know we so aggressive? 160 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, A personally, if I were in the marrying realm today, 161 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have a problem asking if he wanted to 162 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: do that. Okay, you know, I don't know what the 163 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: rules are today because all the rules have changed. 164 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 4: I don't know if there are any rules. 165 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: I know. 166 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 5: I feel like that's true. 167 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: No rules, no structure, no boundaries, And I think that's 168 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 2: what's getting us in trouble.

So many 312 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: of us go into relationships trying to find out what 313 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: the other person is going to give us with no 314 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: clarity about what it is that we want. 315 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 4: So we need to know what we want first absolutely. 316 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 5: What do you want to feel like?

While sometimes it can be 325 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: not the best experiences, it's also good to know I'll 326 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: never do this again. 327 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 5: Oh this doesn't work for me.

Do your forgiveness work, get 682 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 2: your lessons. And sometimes, particularly with friendships, you simply evolve 683 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 2: and it doesn't mean the friendship has to end, but 684 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean how you interact will be different. And 685 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 2: if you don't have that conversation, that's what creates the. 686 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: Problem, right, Because sometimes it's other things like betrayal, Yes, 687 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: and you feel like the person closest to you has 688 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: the biggest ability to betray you more than anybody else. 689 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: They do, and that can happen, and do you forgive that? 690 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: Like that's a difficult thing? Like is it difficult? 691 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 5: It's human because. 692 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: How can you trust somebody who was supposed to be 693 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: Then it makes you feel like, well, were they ever 694 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: really my friend? 695 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 5: Did they? Why would you do all of that? 696 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 2: Why didn't you say this is an act of bad 697 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: behavior and this is not the kind of behavior that 698 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 2: I want in my life. You hurt me, You hurt me, 699 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 2: you betrayed me, and that's how I feel. And this 700 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 2: is going to change our relationship, it really is. And 701 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: then you figure out what that is. But you don't 702 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 2: have to will you ever? Were you ever? 703 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 5: My friend? You don't have to do all that.
