Alrighty, let's dive into our second question, which 84 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: comes from Stephanie. Hi, kickies, I absolutely love watching your podcast, 85 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: especially when I'm on the way to work. It pumps 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: me up and keeps me motivated. I love obviously watching 87 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: your sisters Jenica's podcasts as well. I just wanted to 88 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: come on here and ask you a quick question and 89 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: some od device. I in a relationship with my boyfriend 90 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: and he seems to have a bit of an issue 91 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: worth watching horn and I just wanted to know, like, 92 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: what would you do, you know, to bring it up 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: to your partner? How could I bring it up? I 94 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: just don't want to make it like awkward, and I'm 95 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: very bad at, you know, expressing my emotions and I 96 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: kind of shut down and don't know what to say. 97 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: But if you could, please you don't give me some 98 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: advice anyways. Thank you so much, Stephanie. Thank you so 99 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: much for listening to my podcast and my sisters like 100 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: you have no idea that makes me so happy. It 101 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: makes my heart smile. Now regarding your question, I'd love 102 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: to know how long you guys have been together, and 103 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: obviously this is someone that you absolutely love because you 104 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: want to try to figure this out now. I don't 105 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: know how much he's watching porn, but that is an addiction, 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: and there are groups for that. There is some type 107 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: of like I don't know if it's a rehab or 108 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: you calor a rehab, but for it, because it can 109 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: become an issue, especially if you're not comfortable with it. 110 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've expressed it to him ever before, 111 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: but I think if it doesn't make you comfortable, then 112 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: you definitely have to say, hey, can we figure a 113 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: way out with this because it's making me uncomfortable. You know, 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: let's compromise. Maybe you can watch it once a week 115 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: or twice a week, or you can also watch porn 116 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: with him and make that part of your intimate time together. 117 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: Exploring that side of you, guys, so that you don't 118 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable, that's another thing. But again, I just don't 119 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: know how bad it is if he's lying, if he's 120 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: hiding it from you, if it's like an everyday thing, 121 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: Because if it's an everyday thing, it's not necessarily good 122 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: because anything in excess is not good. But that's my suggestion. 123 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: If you want this relationship to work, maybe you can 124 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: watch it with him and you guys can enjoy it 125 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 1: together and make that part of your sex life. I'd 126 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: love to hear a little bit more about this, Stephanie, 127 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: so let me know. I hope this helps, okay. Next 128 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: up a question from Anna Aggs. I am coming out 129 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: from last year's New Mexico. I guess my question to 130 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: you is how do you deal with stress or you know, 131 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: other words mental health. I originally got diagnosed with PCO 132 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: and I have been going through the fails. Girl, like 133 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: my anxiety, my stress level, everything has been pop. It's 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: taking a toll on me. It has a mentally emotionally 135 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: drained me. And unfortunately holp out there is very much 136 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: expensive right now, and I can afford treatments or even 137 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: counseling right now. It's just you know, without breaking my banks, 138 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: it's just impossible right now to get So my question 139 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: is to you, how do you deal with everyday stress 140 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: or anxiety or just mental health in general, just you know, 141 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: how do you find the time to tell yourself it's 142 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: okay to not be okay? Because right now I feel 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: like I'm okay because I have to be okay, but 144 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm not okay with the situation. You know, like I 145 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: don't know if it makes sense. You make complete sense 146 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: on it, and it's something that I'm still working through. 147 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: I think it's something we're all going to deal with 148 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: for the rest of our lives. It's how do we 149 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: deal with it? Which is your question? And now I'm 150 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: going to answer it what I do. And I do 151 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: this every single day and I express it all the 152 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: time because it's a huge, important, essential part of my 153 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: life is really having my mornings to myself, not looking 154 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: at my phone, especially not social media or anything that's 155 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: going to cause me stressed early in the morning. So 156 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: I put my phone to the side, I go into 157 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: a space where it's quiet. I put on meditation music, 158 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: I read a devotional I literally just connect and I'm 159 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: like mentally quietly listening to my thoughts and saying thank 160 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: you for this day, being grateful. That's one thing that 161 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: will help with stress, is just being grateful and say, 162 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: you know what, thank you. I have a roof over 163 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: my head, I have everything that I need, and looking 164 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: at those things and really being grateful for those things 165 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: will really just say, you know what, everything's going to 166 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: be fine. I'm fine, Like it's taking it day by day. Literally, 167 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: don't think about tomorrow and about oh my god, I 168 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: how to do this or how am I going to 169 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: get there. It's really just appreciating the moment because the 170 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: present is a present, is a gift, so we need 171 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: to just really understand that. And another thing is breathing 172 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: literally deep breathing, holding it and letting it out through 173 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: your mouth, so bringing in through your nose and letting 174 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: it out through your mouth and literally just doing that, 175 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: not just like how you normally breathe, but being intentional 176 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: about breathing deeply. I'm profoundly and sometimes I even say things, 177 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: I say affirmations. I'm like, God is my shepherd, I 178 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: have everything that I need, so I say one part 179 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: breathing in and the last part breathing out through my mouth. 180 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: So it's just all those things have helped me and 181 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: just appreciating the moment, and I think that will make 182 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: a big difference. It's gonna take some time to get 183 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: used to and to start feeling better, but the more 184 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: that you do it, the better you're going to feel. 185 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: And also Another thing that causes a lot of anxiety 186 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: and stress and stuff like that is social media because 187 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: we're looking at so many people's lives and stuff like that. 188 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: So that's one thing. Maybe not being on your phone 189 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: as much will help a lot. So anyways, Anna sending 190 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: you a big, big, big, big tight hug, Laura Stephanie, Anna, 191 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: thank you for your questions so much.
