1 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: Hey there, fellow travelers. We're taking a short break in 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: the middle of our season, but we wanted to take 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: a moment to remind everyone that we want to hear 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: from you. That's right, if you've taken any of the 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: advice we've given on this show and applied it in 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: your own life, we want to know how it went. 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: Recorded two or three minute voice memo telling us about it, 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: and send it to Lorian Guy at I heart media 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: dot com. We may use your message on the show, 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: and as always, if you have a dilemma of your own, 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: bigger small, the email to write to is Lorie and 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: Guy at I heart media dot com. When we come 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: back from break, we'll hear from a woman struggling with 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: resentment towards her sister, who always seems like the perfect 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: sibling to their parents. Sometimes I think, oh, I should 16 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: be better at this. I should ask them more questions, 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: because that's what Jill does when she's there. She writes 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: questions for the night and has people discuss memories and 19 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: label is the antiques and I'm not gonna see puppies. Yeah, 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: And it's like I can't compete with that. I don't 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: know how to do that. We'll talk to a mother 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: trying to forge a more open line of communication with 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: her adult children after years of turma. I don't want 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: to be a wedge between him and his wife. I 25 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: want them to figure it out. And so I think 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: part of what's been holding me back is saying I 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: don't want to be in charge of my children making 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: personal decisions on such a huge scale because of a 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: comment I might have made. I want them to make 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: the decisions based on how they feel about things and 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: where you know, where their heart is at about it. 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: And a trans man deals with family push back as 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: he begins transitioning right before his sister's wedding. My mother 34 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: will go march for gay rights and and all of 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: these things. But you know, as soon as her son 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: comes out to her that he is part of the 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: transgender community, that's where issues start arising. And then it's like, Okay, well, 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: maybe you're not as accepting as you think that you are. 39 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: We're excited to bring you these meaningful discussions in the 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: coming weeks.
