No. Um, 48 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: We're trying to build something in our house and I 49 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: have to meet with contractors. And here's my problem. I 50 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: know you're in the middle of a renovation. I'm always 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of a renovation. Always in the middle 52 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: of a renovation. I'm always homeless. I kind of love 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: it because I love the creative process of it. But 54 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: like meeting contractors, I love them all. I don't want 55 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: to say no to one because I feel bad. And 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: that's my problem. And I literally looked at the architect 57 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know what to do. 58 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: He was like, wait till the bids come in, blah 59 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: bah blah. But so my my problem. These are champagne problems, 60 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: I know, but my problem is always saying no to people. Yeah, 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: I have that problem too, whenever I'm like, I remember 62 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: hiring directors, meeting with directors. I was doing a documentary 63 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: series for Netflix, and I was meeting with all these 64 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: directors and I was just like, Okay, let's hire that woman. 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: And then the next guy, I was like, oh, I 66 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: like him too, very good too. Yeah. And my cousin 67 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: always like, you have no discernment like between people, and 68 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: I was like, what, that doesn't seem like it goes 69 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: with my personality. But it does for some reason. You know, 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: after reading your last book. I've read all, but after 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: reading the last one, I feel this tremendous connection to 72 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: I feel like you aren't that person. Yeah, well maybe 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: I worried about you do worry about everybody. I see 74 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: how you take care of your family and how you 75 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: do that's sweet. How has your summer been going, Julianna, 76 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: My summer has been going very well. My son came 77 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: off the bus from camp an inch taller and his voices, no, oh, 78 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: that's so bitter. You know, my whole his whole life, 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: I've looked down at him when I tell him to 80 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: do something, and now I'm like, um, and that's just 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: the beginning. So he's fourteen and a half. So it's 82 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: been it's been nice having him back home, and it's 83 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: been good, gentle gentle summer.

I don't 96 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: know if you guys are familiar with that, but it 97 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: is something to avoid for the entire world because it 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: sounds like a cheap ticket. It's yes, it's like being 99 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: airlifted in a I don't even know why they have seats. 100 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: You should just be standing because that's how uncomfortable it is. 101 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: And my friend was like, it's a three and a 102 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: half hour flight back to London, and I had my 103 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: own plane ticket booked, but they were leaving a day 104 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: early and they had gotten their tickets confused. And she goes, okay, 105 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: I have some bad news. You're gonna have to fly 106 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: with us. That's the good news. The bad news is 107 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: we're going to uneasy jet and you're not gonna like that. 108 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, I go, you know what, 109 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: just give me an edible. I can handle anything, you know, 110 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: and we got on it. I read an entire book, 111 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: Daisy Jones and the Six By the way, Julianna, if 112 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: you're looking for a good quick fiction read, that's really 113 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: really good. I love when I finish a book, you know, 114 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: in a couple of days, when I get sad I 115 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: missed them. Yeah. I have always had a rule in 116 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: my house not to have a TV in the bedroom 117 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: because I'll just watch it rather than read before I 118 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: go to sleep. Yeah. I mean, of course, it's also 119 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: better for a relationship. But nothing makes me more depressed 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: than someone falling asleep to the TV in their own 121 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: bed and then waking up at three in the morning 122 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: the TV than But when you have a book you 123 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: like read, your dreams are better. There's no none of 124 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: that the rays of the television going into your head. 125 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: I always say to my kids, the best gift we 126 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: ever gave you was your love for reading. Yeah. A friend. 127 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: No matter where you are in the world, a book 128 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: is a friend. A book is a happy, safe place. 129 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. And you know what I've realized recently is 130 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: that I'm reading too much serious shit. Like I love 131 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: to be like analytical and think about things and have 132 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: things that provoke my thinking. But at the same time, 133 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it's an escape also, and I deserve 134 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: to read fun things. That's why this book, Daisy Jones 135 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: and the Six was like a departure from what I 136 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: normally read, and it was such a welcome reprieve because 137 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is like being in a 138 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: fun different world, you know. No, it's so important. Disappearing 139 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: into a normal is my favorite thing to do. Yeah yeah. 140 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: The idea is to go into someone else's world and 141 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: not have to be in your own. I love a memoir, 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: and I love but it's hard because whatever you read 143 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: when you're reading really tough stuff, I'm reading a memmore 144 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: right now. Called Unraveling, which is actually fascinating. It's not 145 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: out yet. I'm reading it to give her a blurb. 146 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: But it's by Peggy Ornstein and it's called Unraveling, and 147 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: it's about She's a huge author, New York Times bestselling 148 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: author who writes about um, sex for girls and sex 149 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: for boys. She she talks about gender and children. And 150 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: she was a journalist. But in the pandemic she's a knitter, 151 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: and I think, I guess. She said, I don't know 152 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: how people know ship, but I knit. I've always knitted. 153 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't have a knit in a while, but I 154 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: used to be a big knitter. Anyway, she decided she 155 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: wanted if she was gonna knit, she has to learn 156 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: how to share a sheep and the whole store. And 157 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: I thought, are you fucking kidding me? I said yes 158 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: to this, and I'm gonna be on a farm like 159 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: sharing sheep. It is so fascinating the rabbit holes because 160 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: she's a journalist and because she's an author and a 161 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: great writer. It's all about her experience sharing the sheep 162 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: is unbelievably difficult. And also she goes into what we're 163 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: doing to our planet with all these bad you know, 164 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: all the cheap, easy clothing that's like the landfills. And 165 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: then she goes and she said, once I saw it, 166 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't unsee it. I think that's what's hard about 167 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: reading really realistic books, is that once you go there, 168 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: you have to change because now I literally was like, 169 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run into this store and buy it, 170 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: and I thought, is that going to be landfill? I'll 171 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: just buy vintage? Then, oh my god. And and and 172 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: the way I used to joke about sheep, Actually, if 173 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: you're ever looking for a different job, we're in need 174 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: of sheep shears, and sheep need to be sheared, and 175 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: they actually can help global warming. Like I didn't know 176 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: any of this, so I didn't know. Oh yeah, it's fascinating. 177 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: Everyone says cheaper stupid. They're not. They're some of this. 178 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: They're so smart. The reason their eyes are slanted is 179 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: so they can see behind them, and you always think like, oh, 180 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: they have such little funny eyes. You know, they're just stupid, 181 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: little cheep. I'm learning so much that I want to 182 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: know and that I don't want to know because now 183 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: I have to change the way I live. No, I 184 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: think reading is I don't read that book before I 185 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: go to sleep, I read a novel be well. I 186 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: think that's probably so true for so many things right 187 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: that we don't even know about in our environment that 188 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: are actually helping us live and breathe clean air and 189 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: helping put oxygen out into the atmosphere. Like we are 190 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: constantly surrounded by these things, but until you read a 191 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: book like that, you don't even know. You're like, oh, wait, 192 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: this is a contribution to the environment that we could 193 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: be using in a much more mindful way, exactly, Like 194 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: I never knew that a lot of clothes are made 195 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: with plastics in them, all the stretchy stuff. It's all 196 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: all of it, and and by the way, and and 197 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: and you know, and they're like, well, but we send 198 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: all the used closed Africa after saying we don't wear them, 199 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: we don't want them. Stop sending like it is anyway, 200 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: I digress, But literally, I do think that reading is 201 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: important to educate, but it's also really important to disappear 202 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: and and go into someone else's world and think outside 203 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: of yourself. Yeah, there is no comfort like a good book. 204 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: What are some of you? If you can think of 205 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: one or some of your favorite books to recommend to listeners. 206 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: Did you ever read that book Sarcy by Madeline Miller. No, 207 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: that's a beautiful book and it's like fantasy. I mean 208 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: it's about Greek mythology, but it's so beautifully written. I 209 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: mean I had to read that. That was one of 210 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: those books where you read, you read a paragraph and 211 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: you put the you put the book down and just 212 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: think about how she wrote that. It's so impressive. But yeah, 213 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: that was one of my favorite books. Did you ever 214 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: read The Red Tent? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that was a 215 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: great book. Interesting about that book, that book. I was 216 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: in Ireland doing a film and it was right after 217 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: nine eleven and someone had told me to read that 218 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: book and I started it and they were so men. 219 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's biblical, right, So there were so 220 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: many names, and I was like, I always give a 221 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: book fifty pages before I sam out. I remember turning 222 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: page fifty. I was getting frustrated with it because there 223 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: were so many characters and I couldn't keep track of everyone. 224 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: Page fifty turned it. I never put the book down. 225 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't wait till they were like, we have ten 226 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: minutes for lighting. I'd run back to my dressing room 227 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: and read the book. Those are the kind of things 228 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: there's there's another book. Oh, this is why I write 229 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: things down in my notes on my phone. That's no, 230 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: no offense. Really, that's why everybody writes things down in 231 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: their notes. You're not the only You're not the only one. Oh. 232 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: In that realm of the red Tent, there's a book 233 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,119 Speaker 1: called Pope Joan. Did you ever read it? Know? What's that? Oh? 234 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: My god? So Pope Joan. Let me just write that 235 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: down in my notes section one second? Yeah, right, session. 236 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: Hope Joan is about a lot of people feel that 237 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: it's complete falsehood. You just go into the story, but 238 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: it's basically the first pope that was elected that was 239 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: actually a woman, and there's there's historical evidence showing, for example, 240 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: did you know that when someone is elected pope now 241 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: because of Pope Joan, when they found out she was 242 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: a woman and they killed her she was masquerading as 243 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: a man. In thirteen whatever it was, they have basically 244 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: a ball throne where the pope elected pope has to 245 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: sit on it and someone goes under his robes to 246 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: make sure he has pesticals. Oh wonderful. And that's because 247 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: of Pope Joan. It is such a fascinating read. And 248 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: some producers sent it to me when I was on 249 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: the Good Wife and said, we want to make this 250 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: into a movie and we think you'd be a great pope. Joan. 251 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: It was like, you know, eight hundred pages and I want, guys, 252 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm on set fourteen hours a day. You're insane if 253 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: you think I'm going to read this in two weeks 254 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: to get be my answer. So, and they said, take 255 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: all the time you want. I read it in a week. 256 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: I could not put the book down. It was absolutely fascinating. 257 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: I love those kind of because you also learned about 258 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: history and you learn about you know. Anyway, so you 259 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't end up doing the project? Oh so, so I said, yes. 260 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm in this is I was just 261 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: unbelievable character. And they couldn't get a greenlit anywhere. Oh so, 262 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I've been attached to so many 263 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: of those. But you know, you keep throwing it at 264 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: the wall and whatever sticks sticks. You know, you gotta 265 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: make lemonade exactly. But anyway, it's a great read. I 266 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: just read The Latecomer. I'm going down a gene Hans 267 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: Corlett's sort of rabbit hole because I've always loved her writing. 268 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: And then she had read my memoir and actually asked 269 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: she has all these book events, and she said my name. 270 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: I knew who she was because I had read her 271 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: books before, but she just came out with a book 272 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: called The Latecomer and that was so much fun because 273 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: while it's very New York story, but it's about these trips, 274 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: splets who came into existence from a petri dish because 275 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: their mother couldn't get pregnant. And it is a fascinating, 276 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: fabulous fund read. And I love triplets. I like anything 277 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: where there's twins, triplets or sisters. Those are my three. 278 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that show The Split? Do you 279 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: have you? Ever? My god? I love it? Oh my god, 280 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: it's my favorite. I haven't I haven't a show for you. Okay, 281 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: So here's what happened last night. I drove up up 282 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm up state and for the first time by myself, 283 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: no dog, no kid, no husband. Like I walked into 284 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: my house. There's no food. I'm like, okay, I'll figure 285 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: it out. There's some eggs, Like what can I do? 286 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: Like you, Chelsea, I'm one technically challenged, like the Pact 287 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: that I'm on this zoom with you and no one's 288 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna help me. It is talking. And I've never actually 289 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: turned my television on up here because my kid or 290 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: my husband are always here and they know how to 291 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: do it. And it's got like, I'm like, what is 292 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: eight m one? So I don't want to be I 293 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: just wait till they're here. So I had just finished 294 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: watching Catastrophe. Have you seen cats Awesome? I love it 295 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: and I love her, Sharon Horgan. I'm obsessed with the 296 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: actress the way I was with Nicola Walker in The Split. 297 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: She's genius. Oh that show is awesome, awesome, just like 298 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: In fact, when I watched that show, I emailed Robert 299 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: Michelle King, who created The Good Wife, and I was like, um, 300 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: do you think maybe this was born out of the 301 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: Good Wife? Because there's way too many similarities, right, She's 302 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: having the affair with the guy at the law firm, 303 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And they said, oh, we heard about it. 304 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: And the Washington Post said, if you're missing The Good Wife, 305 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: watched The Split, So anyway, this show. So after I 306 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: watched Catastrophe, I heard that Sharon Horrigan, I'm sure I'm 307 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: saying her name wrong, but she writes, directs, produces, and acts, 308 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: and I I just love women who do that. I 309 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: don't know if I could ever. I can produce an act, 310 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: but I don't know if I could do any of 311 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: the other things. She has a new show called Bad Sisters, 312 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: and I immediately thought of you, Chelsea, you have to 313 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: watch Oh my god, I saw it, you know what. 314 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: I saw it, and I was about to no, no, 315 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: I was about to watch it, and then my assistant said, oh, 316 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: you should watch Severance, I think because they're both on Apple, right, 317 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, Severance is on Apple with Adam Scott, who 318 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: I love. I love that show. Oh yeah, you watched 319 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: that show Severance? Oh yeah, I mean I have to 320 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: say at one point, like by episode three, I was 321 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: getting so angst. I was watching with my husband. I said, 322 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: you know, by the next episode, if it doesn't get 323 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: a little bit lighter, I don't know if I can 324 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: handle it anymore. Because we watched it together before we 325 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: go to bed. And then in Walks, I mean, I 326 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: loved all of it, but but the characters were so 327 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: sad and brutal and also frightening. Patricia Arquette is a genius, 328 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: but she scared the ship out of me. And then 329 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: in walks Christopher walking with John Turo and I like, 330 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, it's the sweetest thing 331 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I know, Christopher walking. Any time he 332 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: walked into a room, You're like, first all, Patricia Arquette 333 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: is the fucking best. She's Oh my god. Every time 334 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: when you see her, you're like you feel dehydrated from 335 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: missing her. You're like, hey, I need her and more ship. 336 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: She is one of those actresses I've always admired because 337 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: she is unapologetically that character. Yeah you know what I mean, 338 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: Like she just goes in there and you're like, wait, 339 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: wait seriously this is and you believe everything, Like she's crazy. 340 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: Sever Yeah, well she's crazy, Okay, I definitely. Well, I 341 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: love Sharon Horrigan. I'm gonna watch Bad Sisters. We should 342 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: have Sharon on the podcast. Also, she's I think she 343 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: is truly talented on every level. She's funny. She's funny. 344 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Catastrophe was so good. I started watching Severance. I'm not 345 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: to the end because I also found it slightly depressing. 346 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm just like, this is hark. I'm not good at 347 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: like television analysis. Like when there's a bigger kind of 348 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: metaphorical thing going on. It's not always easy for me 349 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: to identify, you know, like even in in a Bear 350 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: Did you watch that, Julie, I've watched three episodes of it. 351 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: That's a great show, and that I watched it, and 352 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: then I read a review of it and in the 353 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: New York Times. I'm sure because those reviews are like 354 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: I might as well be talking to somebody who speaks French, 355 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait what. I was like, toxic masculinity, Okay, 356 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: I could see that, but then they listed like all 357 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: of the things that the show was about, and I'm like, wow, 358 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm a real dummy, Like I didn't pick up on that. 359 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: I'm late to the game on a lot of things. 360 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: But I just finished watching the entire four seasons of Ozark, 361 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: which was brilliant. Laura Linney is another she just deserved 362 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: another level. But in the beginning, I was like, I 363 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: don't understand money washing. Wait what? And I'm a fairly 364 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: educated person with you know, a medium sized brain. But literally, 365 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: as the show went, I went, thank you for not 366 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: you didn't talk down to your audience. I love a 367 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: show that allows me to learn what they're talking about 368 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: through time, because writing a pilot is really difficult, and 369 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: any network you want to set up everything within that 370 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: first show to keep the audience coming back. But it's like, no, 371 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: if you really believe in the work you're doing, then 372 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: let the audience learn with you. Yeah. So, like by 373 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: the end, I felt like, oh, I understand Cartel and 374 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: wondering it. But the one show I couldn't keep watching 375 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: because I just they talked too fast and I was 376 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: on it was Billions because I would look over to 377 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: my husband and be like, I don't understand. What does 378 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: that mean? What are they trading in? I don't get 379 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: I didn't. It was a lingo that went over my head. Well, 380 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: Billions is like red Bull, Like that's tell red Bull television, 381 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Billions is like two. It's 382 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: high octane, and that's like it's it's like out of 383 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: pace where there's Yeah, I know exactly what you mean 384 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: by that. Ozark is one of the best shows ever. 385 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: That and Jason Bateman is so boad and so is 386 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: good Julia Garner. She's a badass. Yeah, it was fantastic. 387 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: So it's been fun catching up. I know it was 388 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: on like years ago. But well, I think a lot 389 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: of people are gonna be surprised to hear that you 390 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: are not money washing and upstate New York, Julianna, because 391 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: that's what this podcast were supposed to be about. I'm 392 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: watching other things all the time, but not money. Okay. Well, 393 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: now that we've done our television round up, television book, book, 394 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: and television review and entertainment corner, Yeah, we're gonna have 395 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a regular thing the next time 396 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: we have to call on Julianna. Okay, Katherine some Well, 397 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make us take a little bit of a 398 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: break and then we'll be back with some colors and 399 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: we're back. What do we got going on today, Katherine? 400 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: So many things. Well, our first question is a sister question, 401 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: or rather a sister in law question. This comes from 402 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: less dear Chelsea. I'm not sure what to do about 403 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: my sister in law. The problem is is that she's 404 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: been purchasing things that I own to an extent that 405 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: is extremely uncomfortable for me, and I feel like I'm 406 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: being stripped of my identity when I'm with her. I 407 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: don't even like to wear things that are special to 408 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: me around her in fear that she'll ask where it's 409 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: from and buy it multiple pairs of shoes, jewelry, coats, sweaters, pants, art, 410 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: et cetera. It may be partially my fault because sometimes 411 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 1: I share links with her when she asks where did 412 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: you get those pants? I'm getting increasingly upset when I 413 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: see her wearing things I own, and she dresses almost 414 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: exactly like me. Now I'm extremely close with my brother, 415 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: her husband, and I'm afraid confronting her will cause us 416 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: to get in a fight. Please help less. Oh boy, 417 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: I have so many You go first, Julianna, I have 418 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: so many. Well, my first reaction when hearing that is 419 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: imitation is the best form of flattery. And agreed, Chelsea. 420 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: You know I think she's your agent. But my best 421 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: friend Blair Cohen from college is truly one of the 422 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: most fashion forward people I've ever met. Like, everything she 423 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: puts on, I'm like, oh my god, just got style 424 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: up the Jesus You're just like, what the fun is? 425 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: You're like, are those shoes? Are they milk cartons? And 426 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: somehow she's more just stylish person and and I am 427 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: not ashamed to tell you that I now have half 428 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: her wardrobe, and she takes it as a compliment. She 429 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: really does like she She was in town a couple 430 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: of weeks ago and I was wearing these niarly low 431 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: tan pants that I had seen on her first and 432 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: she was like, oh girl, you look great. Like I 433 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: understand what family. It might be different because you suddenly 434 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: you're both showing up. But if you could look at 435 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: it from a different angle, which is that you're inspiring 436 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: somebody your taste. I mean, nothing makes me happier than 437 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: when someone comes into my home and says, oh my god, 438 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: where did you get that lamp? I have to have it, 439 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: And I think, oh, I did good. Yeah, I look 440 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: at it as a compliment unless it's that single white 441 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: female thing where she is trying to become you. I 442 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't look at it as anything except she likes your 443 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: style and take it as a compliment. That's my feeling. 444 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, what do you think, Katherine. I think she 445 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 1: should start sending her affiliate links so she can make 446 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: a little money on the side when she clicks commission. 447 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you could do the old oh this old 448 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: thing and tell her you don't remember, or tell her 449 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: it's vintage. I mean, I do agree it's flattering. Yeah, 450 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: I think it's flattering, and I think you need to 451 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: adjust your mindset and perspective on it. It's a compliment 452 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: and you should take it as such, like she's never 453 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: going to steal your identity. If it's really crossing a 454 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: line and she's acting like you and making you, then 455 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: that's a separate issue and then that would call for attention. 456 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: But somebody who's just dressing like you is a huge compliment. 457 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: And again, Julianna, like when people come over to my 458 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: house and say, oh my god this or that, I'm like, 459 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: oh yeah, right on, nailed it. You know, I always 460 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: take it as a compliment. I take it as a 461 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: compliment when people show up at my shows wearing jumpsuits 462 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: like I wear. I started in jumpsuits because of Chelsea 463 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: I did, and then I did her first. The first 464 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: podcast I did with her, I was wearing a jump 465 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: the homage to Chelsea. It was a compliment. Thank you, 466 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: That's sweet. I would feel complimented if someone showed up 467 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: wearing something. You know, it's it's about your identity, So 468 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: I say, stay who you are. If you start feeling 469 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: like she's talking like you or is different when there's 470 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: trying to She's married to your brothers, so it's not 471 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: like she's going to try and date the same person 472 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: as you or you know. I just whenever someone was like, 473 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: oh what do you eat? Because I love the way 474 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: you look at what, I'm like, Oh, let me, I'm 475 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: so happy to share. And also remember this, I'm a 476 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: child of the eighties, like that was when I was 477 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: could afford fashion or or cared. We all were the 478 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: same thing, right when you're in middle school in high school, 479 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: you're you're wearing this, you wear with each other wears 480 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: because you're around each other and you like each other, 481 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, and you want to be cool. So you're 482 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: probably really cool to her, and she wants to be 483 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: like you because a your brother is married to her, 484 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: and she probably knows you're really close with your brother 485 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: and maybe you know what I mean. Like it could 486 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: be so many different psychological things. If it gets creepy, 487 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: you can say, hey, babe, I love that you love 488 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: what I'm wearing, and I love that you buy the stuff, 489 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: but can we just talk? Are you okay? Because I 490 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: feel like you're a little bit coming into my orbit 491 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: too much. And you can say it sweetly if you're 492 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: feeling out. Yeah, yeah, and you could even suggest, say 493 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: you're wearing something in yellow and she loves it, be like, 494 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, what would look great on you is the 495 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: blue one? You know that's not exactly the same. That's perfect. 496 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. Yeah, these aren't big problems. You just 497 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: have to be a little bit more gracious about it 498 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: and just remember that that's cool. That's a compliment, period, 499 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: it's a compliment. Turn it around. Well. Our next question 500 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: comes from Chandra Dear Chelsea. I'm a twenty four year 501 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: old transman and recently started living alone in my two 502 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: bedroom apartment. My partner of three and a half years 503 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 1: and did things with me back in March. This was 504 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: an incredibly difficult adjustment, as I had just moved to 505 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and left my family to be with them to 506 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: find work out there. I ended up working under my 507 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: partner in our grooming salon. Since then, I've moved up 508 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: to co managing the salon with my now ex partner. 509 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: Less than two months after they broke up with me, 510 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: they started dating our friend slash coworker. I will admit 511 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: this is hard to witness and I had a lot 512 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: of friends tell me to get up and leave my 513 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: job to get away from that hurt. It's been an 514 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: overwhelming loss, but my X and I still maintain a 515 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: distanced but respectful friendship. Here's the deal. I'm now reaching 516 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: a pivotal moment in my life, and I'm stuck, frozen 517 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: in fear of which choice to make. I've always dreamt 518 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: of living in Germany, but I'm too afraid to make 519 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: that leap, and my German needs a lot of work. 520 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: I've also had friends offered to have me stay with 521 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: them in Chicago until I figure things out. I don't 522 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: know what I want to do or where to go, 523 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: but I do know I want to start learning to 524 00:26:54,160 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: listen and trust myself to make decisions. Any advice, Chandra, Hey, Chandra, Hi, Chandra, 525 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: how are you? This is Julianna, And of course you've 526 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: spoken to Catherine already. Hi were here to help you here? 527 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: Thank you? I need it right now at this point. Okay, 528 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: So how long have you been working together with your ex? 529 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: We broke up in March, and so I've been working 530 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: with all of them together for the last six months. 531 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: And I've been working with my ex for the last 532 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: three years and you obviously feel like you need to change, right, Yeah, 533 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean every if I I've given it a lot 534 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: of thought. And I'm twenty four and basically every major 535 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: life choice I've made has been around a partner. I 536 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: left Michigan and went to college for somebody who was 537 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: going to the same university. That didn't end out well. 538 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: And then I moved to Pennsylvania for my ex and 539 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: that didn't work out well. I mean, I really thought 540 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: this last relationship was gonna be it for me. I 541 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: mean I thought I met my life partner because I've 542 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: never been in such a supportive, non judgmental relationship. I mean, 543 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,719 Speaker 1: we were open the whole time. And it was because, 544 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: like my partner believed that I should experiment with what 545 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: men and because my partner, my ex is female but 546 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: non binary. So it's still transfer relationship. What was the 547 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: last word you use? Trans for trans relationship? For trans? Okay? Good? 548 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: I need. I need to make sure I'm up on 549 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: all the lingo. Okay, it doesn't matter, But what sex 550 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: is this person that she's having a relationship with. It 551 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: is the same sex or is in another non binary 552 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: or male? They took a huge leap. He's as head 553 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: conservative male. Wow. Well, first and foremost, I want to 554 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: say that you're twenty four years old, and I am 555 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: here to tell you that you are probably going to 556 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: fall in love and have your heartbroken multiple times from 557 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: now on, and that is part of the way of 558 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: the world. And the sooner that you can get on 559 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: that train and accepting of it, the more emboldened and 560 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: empowered you're going to feel. Because relationships do not find you, 561 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: the way you handle relationships defines you, you know what 562 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean. So like you saying I thought I'm at 563 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: the love of my life. Of course, we all want 564 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: to meet that person and we all want to feel 565 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: that way, but the chances of that happening at your 566 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: age are just not you know what I mean. To 567 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: the time, your age is not on your side. You're 568 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: here to explore and to learn and to have multitude, 569 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: a multitude of experiences, not just one, not just two, 570 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: not just three. You want to be a full person, right, 571 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: So I really don't want you to even think about 572 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: I know it's easier said than done, but don't think 573 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: about something as it has to be forever. There is 574 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: no forever. All of that is hogwash anyway, Just think 575 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: about you right now. Just think about what is going 576 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: to make you the most productive, happiest version of yourself. 577 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: And when you think of that, what comes up. That's 578 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: the hard part is I have to basically retrain my 579 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: brain to make me the person I'm taking care of 580 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: instead of a partner or a family member. Do you 581 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: feel you're worth is more valuable to you when you're 582 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: taking care of someone else other than yourself. I've always 583 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: felt like I'm valuable when I'm useful, and yet you're 584 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: not useful to yourself. Not at this moment in time. No. 585 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: I got back into therapy, so a lot of this 586 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: past six months have been like basically creating who I 587 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: am from the ground up and trying to figure out 588 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: what I like. And I bought a bike and trying 589 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: to find out hobbies so I can be around other 590 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: people that aren't connected to my X and stuff like that. 591 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: So here's what I want to say to you right now, 592 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: You're exactly where you're supposed to be. You're at the 593 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: age where you're exactly where you're supposed to be, but 594 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: you don't realize that the world is your oyster. Because 595 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: when you're twenty four, you don't see that. When you 596 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: said something that really struck me in your letter was 597 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: that you want to go to Germany. I can tell 598 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: you as someone who went there once for twenty four 599 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: hours and fell so in love with Berlin, and I 600 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: really like I can say three words in German. You 601 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: go to the country to learn the language, you don't 602 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: learn the language and then go to the country. My 603 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: biggest thing when I hear what you're saying is you've 604 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: already said I went to college for someone, then I 605 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: moved here for someone. Where are you going to move 606 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: for you? And when you say I would love to 607 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: go to Germany and I would love to speak German, 608 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: you're opening up a whole new world, like the whole point. 609 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, when you get there, because you 610 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: will after Chelsea and I are done with you, You're 611 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: totally going to Germany. Um I can say this. There's 612 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: I bet you dollars to donuts. You're going to write 613 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: into Chelsea and say, had I not gone through those 614 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: experiences where I was in so much pain, I would 615 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: not have found the path I'm on now. And that's 616 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: just life, right. So instead of looking at it like 617 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: an obstacle, look at it like a challenge and an 618 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: opportunity and an opportunity, right. My challenge to myself is, 619 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: can I take care of me first? When you know 620 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: it's putting the mask on the plane, the parent has 621 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: to put it on before they do the kid otherwise 622 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: they die, right, and then they're no good to the kid. 623 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: So you have to put your own oxygen mask on 624 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: before you can be in a relationship with anybody, because 625 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: you'll lose yourself again. Yeah, I've been there. I've lost 626 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 1: myself and then spend years going why did I do that? 627 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: And therapy and blah blah blah. It's all good, and 628 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful I had that terrible relationship because I 629 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: definitely wouldn't have what I have now, and I wouldn't 630 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,959 Speaker 1: know who I am now. Don't live your life regretting. 631 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: Live your life well of an open road, because you 632 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: never know what's behind each door or a left, instead 633 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: of all right, where is that going to take you? 634 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: You know? I remember a friend of mine was we 635 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: were both moving back from l A to New York, 636 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: and he was really wanting to drive across country because 637 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: he wanted his car in New York. He didn't have 638 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: a lot of money, and he was nervous about it 639 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: because he's gay, and he was like, I don't know 640 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: the Midwest. You know, when you're from either l A 641 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: or New York, you think like nobody's going to accept 642 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: you anywhere else in the world. And he was nervous 643 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: about it. And I said, you'll never know unless you 644 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: do it. M hm. And to this day he says 645 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: it was the best experience of his life and it 646 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: gave him so like he was more confident when he 647 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: came home. When he came back to New York, he 648 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: was like, I did that. I did that by myself, 649 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: and then he could conquer the world. And he did. 650 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: And he's been married now twelve years to an amazing guy, 651 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: and he has an incredible career. Like you can create 652 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: your own path, don't wait for someone else to create 653 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: your path. And by the way, if you can get 654 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,239 Speaker 1: the hell out of that job, because I don't think 655 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: it's healthy to have to walk into that every day. 656 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: Why why would you want to put yourself through that. 657 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: It's the best job I've ever had. And I'm having 658 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: a crappy day, I can grab a dog and feel better. 659 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: And the departments are separate enough and we're respectable enough, 660 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: and I can find fifty million reasons to talk myself 661 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: out of it, you know, but it hurts you, right, 662 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: that's when I heard in the letter that you're working 663 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: with them hurts you. It does, because it's at this 664 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: point they have just completely shut off the emotional understanding 665 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: of the situation and just seeing it from like a 666 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: logical choice. I guess I'm a very emotional, hopeless, romantic person. 667 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: They're very clinical and logical person, so it's easy for 668 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: them to just move on or they're just cut off 669 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: from their feelings. Oh, they're trust me. That's the hardest 670 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: part is knowing that they need way more help than 671 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: I do, because at least I know my feelings. Yes, 672 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: but here's something that I can just tell by looking 673 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: at you. Your aura and your energy is a little defeated, 674 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: and you've been a little depleted by this experience. While 675 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: it was honorable to continue to do the job and 676 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: show up and kind of face that, that would be 677 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: hard for a lot of people and be a deal breaker. 678 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: I know I would probably be like out the door 679 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: and be like, there's no way I'm going to face 680 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: my ax with their new person every day. Why would 681 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: I put myself through that hell, even if they're are physical, 682 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: like you're not on top of each other all day, 683 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: you're away departments whatever. I don't know. I've never worked 684 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: inside of building, so I don't know even know what 685 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But what I do want to say 686 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: is you are a little bit your energy sad, and 687 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: that is a result of putting yourself in a situation 688 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: that is going to make you sad. And it is 689 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: up to you to get yourself out of that situation. 690 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: The idea that you're even thinking about Germany is the 691 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: only answer you need. Go You need to go to Germany. 692 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: Don't worry about learning the language. Exactly what Juliana said. 693 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: You go there to learn the language. Do you know 694 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: how empowering and the build of self esteem that you 695 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: will acquire by actually being immersed in a culture that 696 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: is foreign to you, by learning the language, learning the 697 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: idiosyncrasies of a completely different culture and vibe and the 698 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: energy that comes with Germany. People love Berlin, people love 699 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: what's the other city that everybody loves in Germany? Munich? Yeah, 700 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: people love Munich too, I mean, and West Germany I've visited. 701 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's beautiful, all all of it is beautiful, 702 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: and you have people that are very open, incredible energy there. 703 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: You need different energy around you. Well, I mean that's 704 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: that was the first time I ever felt connected to 705 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: myself was when I was nineteen and I lived in 706 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: Berlin for four months straight, Like I literally did something 707 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: on my own, pushed myself to that and did a 708 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: program that let me live there on my own for 709 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: the first time in my entire life. And I just 710 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: there's always been something keeping me like going back to 711 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: it as an option. And I don't know, I think 712 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: I just staying here is just playing it safe, and 713 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm really tired of doing the same thing that makes 714 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 1: me feel like ship but it's comfortable, it's actually more damaging. 715 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: It's not playing it safe staying there.

And so when I hear 719 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: you say, first of all, when you say this is 720 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: the best job I've ever had, your twenty four how 721 00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: many jobs have you had?

Yes, you don't. 725 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: You don't want to be a slave to something that 726 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: isn't bringing you joy. And and also it's it's like 727 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: you're inside this box when even when the way you 728 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: described the building, like you're inside this box and they 729 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: and they're there. That's energy. Whether you communicate with them 730 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: or not, they're there, and so you're feeling it. And 731 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: just from someone who who once had a horrible breakup 732 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: with someone I had only really dated, like I don't know, 733 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: six months, but I was crazy about him and he 734 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: broke it off with me. I would go everywhere I 735 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,720 Speaker 1: knew he'd be just see and what I was torturing myself. 736 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: It was ridiculous, but of course I was. I just 737 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: wanted him. I wanted to see him. I wanted to 738 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 1: be in his around him, even though he was a 739 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: fucking asshole, you know. And I look back now and 740 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what was I thinking? Go 741 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: find someone else, Go go let yourself be loved by 742 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,399 Speaker 1: other people. Love other people. Berlin is the perfect place 743 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: for it. And you already are familiar with it. It's 744 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: not like you're gonna need a map, you just need 745 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: a plane ticket and and the inspiration to go. Yeah, yeah, 746 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: a good prush. I don't regret you. Do you know 747 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: you're going to Germany? Or do you have a place? 748 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: Do you have a place to live or do you 749 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: have somebody to live with? What's the situation on that front? 750 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 1: The family that I lived with, they said that I'm 751 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: welcoming back any time. If I'm there again, I might 752 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: actually have a couple of classmates in Berlin. Basically everybody 753 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: that I know that's gone to Berlin has gotten drunk 754 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: on Berlin and needed to go back. Yeah. Sorry, Can 755 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: I just say this one thing, because I don't want 756 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: it to feel like like if you say I'm moving 757 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: to Berlin that that almost sounds too much, like it's 758 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: too much of a challenge. That can be really disorienting, right, 759 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: But if you say, why don't you just go for months? 760 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: Go for months and and take your family, that family 761 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: up on it, you know, and don't overstay your welcome, 762 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: but feel it out, seek it out, look at it 763 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,720 Speaker 1: as a journey, and then if you love it, you stay, 764 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: and if you don't, you find something else. But you 765 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: don't have a mortgage, do you. No, you don't have children, 766 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: and you don't have a partner. No. Go, you're twenty four. 767 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: If you didn't go in ten years, you would sit 768 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: there and go, I fuck. I wish I had gone 769 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: when I was twenty four, when I was thinking about it. 770 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: So where you're You called us for a reason. This 771 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: is the universe telling you you need to go. You 772 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: need to go explore the world, and you are going 773 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: to forget about all of this in a very short 774 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: period of time. I promise you that if you change 775 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: your surroundings, you will change. This is the time in 776 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: your life for big moves, make big moves. You're not 777 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: going to have the energy to do it when you're 778 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: fifty four. You're twenty four. Yeah, I mean, that's my 779 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: biggest fear is waking up a little too late realizing 780 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,439 Speaker 1: I could have done this, I could have done that. 781 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: And it's cool. It's also cool because you're gonna look 782 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: back and be like, you know what I did When 783 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: I was twenty four, I went to Berlin. I was 784 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: in a situation that was pathetic, and then I had 785 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: to get myself out of You have to extract yourself 786 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: from this situation.

Yeah, you'll get your little receipt, okay. 814 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: And also don't be fooled that you need to like 815 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: finish out a lease, find somebody to take over your lease. 816 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,080 Speaker 1: If you're ready to go in two months or a 817 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: month or a week, you will figure it out, okay. Yeah, okay, 818 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: So Chandra, what's the plan. I'm gonna hang out and 819 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: then probably look at plane tickets to Germany and plan 820 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: for next summer because that gives me enough time to 821 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: plan and get my passport updated because it still says female, 822 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 1: and send you guys a picture of the ticket and 823 00:41:55,400 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: just walk around in Berlin for a while. Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely, 824 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: you won't regret it. Yeah, I deserve some fun, I think. Yeah, 825 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: we're sending you Chandra, and have your own little mantra. 826 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: Every morning just wake up and say today I'm gonna 827 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: take care of me. I think it helps to have 828 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: a mantra about you come first. It's it was always 829 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: really hard for me, but and then I realized that 830 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: no one wants to be around a martyr, and if 831 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,439 Speaker 1: I don't take care of me, then no one else 832 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: actually gets taken care of. So I have a nentrepree 833 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: to start meditating on that. Yeah, I started to like 834 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: basically tell myself that I am my partner. Like everything 835 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: that I missed out on my last relationship, I'm guaranteeing 836 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: that I'm making it happen for myself. When you're a 837 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: man now, so you should be putting yourself first, the norm, dude, 838 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: an adjustment that must be. It's like, well, you know what, 839 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 1: I actually am right, and I'm going to tell you why. Yeah. 840 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: Actually I need you guys more around when I get 841 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: questions from my coworkers because I really just backed down 842 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah yeah, well, just start with your mantra. 843 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: Don't forget it. It's really important. That stuff is really important. 844 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: It's very subliminal and it seeks seeps into your brain 845 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 1: and it permeates throughout your whole life. So you have 846 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: to value yourself more. Okay, the next time I see you. 847 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,479 Speaker 1: I want to see a big, bright, shining light coming 848 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 1: out of your head because you've made such great decisions. Okay, 849 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: you got it. Okay, awesome, good luck, Thanks Chandra. I bye. 850 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,840 Speaker 1: Oh what a sweetie pie. I love him. Oh yeah, 851 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I'm not twenty four. I feel I 852 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,359 Speaker 1: I could feel his angst. I know, but it's like 853 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: twenty four. Oh my god, I don't even remember what 854 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: I mean. I knew I would end up like this 855 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: because everyone's like, oh, youth is wasted on the young, 856 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: and yet it's so true. It's so true, and I 857 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: hate I used to hate hearing that when I was younger, 858 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: and now I'm like, god, I just I didn't know, 859 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: because didn't you know what the thing is is the 860 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: suffering you put yourself through, so much suffering that is 861 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: so unnecessary. We care so much about other people and 862 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: their perception of us and all of that, and we care. 863 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: We're just it's like the struggle is so unnecessary, the 864 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: pain unnecessary, but we don't know that. We have to 865 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: learn it. Everyone has to learn it at their own time. 866 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: And for me, it was always like the idea of 867 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: being alone was just horrific and so I under I 868 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: could feel in him, like I knew that he was 869 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: going to that job every day because he wanted to 870 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,120 Speaker 1: be at least somewhere in their orbit. I just could 871 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: see that, and it's so toxic. You can feel it 872 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: through a cement wall, like it's you know, even though 873 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: we're in separate floors whatever. No, they're in the building. Yeah, 874 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: there's nothing good that's going to come from that. Yeah. Well, 875 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: our next question is from Heidi. Heidi runs an animal rescue, 876 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 1: I believe, but also has another job. She says, Dear Chelsea, 877 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: I've had to ushi and my whole adult life started 878 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: antidepressants at one. I suspect I've actually suffered from it 879 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: since childhood but was undiagnosed. I'm tired of the way 880 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: I always feel and the lows that make me want 881 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 1: to hide away in my home. I started fostering dogs 882 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: to help me get through the stress of the pandemic. 883 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 1: As I was an icy you nurse. I also changed 884 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: my career and left bedside nursing to see if that 885 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,719 Speaker 1: would help my depression. My anxiety improved, but it's a 886 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: constant struggle every day. I recently started online therapy, but 887 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: my brain then told me this is self indulgent. I'm 888 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: single without children, but I do have several dogs and 889 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: a cat. My brain says, what's the point. You don't matter. 890 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: Your struggles only affect you, so get over them and 891 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: shut up. Other people have real problems and have people 892 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: who depend on them. Any advice to help me get 893 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 1: back into therapy. It's hard to fight your own self. Thanks, Heidi. Hi. Hi. 894 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: We have Juliana here today as our special guests because 895 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: she gives great advice. And you know Catherine, Oh, hi, yes, 896 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: how are you okay? So talk to us? So you 897 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: are did you say you're on medication or you're not 898 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 1: on medication? Yeah? I've been on medication off and on 899 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: since my mid twenties. I'm thirty four now. I always 900 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: have to think about it. We all do. Don't worry. 901 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: And and these are you're talking about antidepressants? Yeah, yeah, 902 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 1: I've been on lexeprol. My increased my dose recently. I 903 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: know a lot of people on lexaprome. It helped my 904 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: mom tremendously. And she's a she would never take a 905 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: drug in her life, and she's like, oh my god, 906 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: why didn't I know? Yeah? Changed your life? Yeah, And 907 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: you're on it now or you're not on it now. No, 908 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: I am on it, And yeah, it was a life 909 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: changer for me. I've always had I think a little 910 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: bit of depression. It runs in my family. My mom 911 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: was diagnosed when actually I was the first one to 912 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: be diagnosed, and then by me kind of working on it, 913 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 1: my mom decided to see a therapist and psychiatrist and 914 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 1: she also was diagnosed and she actually has a little 915 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: bit of social anxiety disorder, so she's on some different medications. 916 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 1: And then my sister has also started going to therapy 917 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 1: and she was diagnosed with depression in her early twenties 918 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 1: as well. So I don't know if it's familial or 919 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: we're just sad people, or I don't know. Well, it's 920 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty genetic, by the way. Well, first of all, 921 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty common. I mean, I think one of the 922 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 1: three people are on antidepressants, just like one of three 923 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: people have herpes. But don't don't connect that. That's that's 924 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 1: a personal story. But everyone's onto something, So don't even 925 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: judge yourself about that, you know what I mean? My 926 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: question is why do you go on and off of it? Well, 927 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: insurance because recently is when you've been able to get 928 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: antidepressant sent to you from home. But I was a 929 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: travel nurse for a while, and when you're not working 930 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 1: for the company or the hospital, you get kicked off 931 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: the insurance. And you know, you're in your twenties and 932 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: you're young, and you're I at least didn't take my 933 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: health too seriously in my twenties. It wasn't until I 934 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 1: kind of settled like one and I realized, Okay, we 935 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 1: gotta stop messing around. And that's when I started seeing 936 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: a regular doctor and started taking care of myself. And 937 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, there's really no reason. It was just I 938 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,759 Speaker 1: think a little bit of shame, and I felt like, 939 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: let's try to fix this just with courage, with working out, 940 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: with this and that. But then I slowly came to realize, like, no, 941 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 1: it's just chemistry. It's brain chemistry. It's nothing to be 942 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: ashamed of, which all makes sense up here. But it's 943 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: hard for me to do the therapy part of it 944 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: because so many things I've read have said like the 945 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: medicine will help, but the therapy helps you realize how 946 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: it can be exacerbated and at whatnot. And so I 947 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: recently went through kind of a bad spell of my 948 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: depression and it was really bad. It was like I 949 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: didn't want to get out of bed, I didn't want 950 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: to clean myself. And I listen to a lot of 951 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: podcasts and everyone's always talking about like better help and 952 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,440 Speaker 1: all those online ones, and I so I started it, 953 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: and then after a couple of sessions, I just I 954 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 1: felt like, who are you to complain about anything? And again, 955 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: I probably the chemistry stuff, but it's hard for me 956 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 1: to justify the expense and and the talking about myself. 957 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,319 Speaker 1: And that's the biggest issue I have. I don't like 958 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 1: to talk about myself. Right, Okay, Well, first of all, 959 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: you have to stop judging yourself. That's your judging yourself. 960 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: Saying therapy is self indulgent is a judgment. It's not 961 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: self indulgent, it's self help. You're helping yourself. You know. Um, 962 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 1: I had a friend who always be like, it's navel gazing, 963 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: it's naval amazing. And then guess who ended up in 964 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: therapy for three years because she needed to be nagel gazing. 965 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 1: So we always have these two voices in our head. 966 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,960 Speaker 1: We have the real us and then we have our shadow, right, 967 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 1: who kind of says, oh, don't eat that, or you're stupid, 968 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: or you're not funny, or did you do that right 969 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: or did it da. That's poking us on the shoulder. 970 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: And as soon as you give that little person power, 971 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,919 Speaker 1: then that person has power over the real us. And 972 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: that's not the way it goes. It goes the other 973 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: way around. We have power over that voice of when 974 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 1: to say, shut up, voice, you don't know what you're 975 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: talking about. You want to be a healthy person, You 976 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,399 Speaker 1: want to feel good about yourself, and the best way 977 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: to do that is, you know, when you have clinical 978 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: depression is a to be taking medication and be to 979 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: supplement that medication with information about your condition and why 980 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 1: you feel this way, and how to actually articulately grasp 981 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: what is happening with you, so you have a language, 982 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, with yourself that you can say, oh, 983 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: I'm feeling like this right now because of what happened 984 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: to me over here, or this brings up, this triggers 985 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: me because of something that happened when I was eight 986 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: that I'm not even cognizant of, but my body might. Remember. 987 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: There's so many interfaces that are going on in our 988 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,439 Speaker 1: bodies between our brain and our stomach and our heart 989 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,880 Speaker 1: we all have. We have brains throughout our body that 990 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 1: are communicating with each other. And if you don't have 991 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 1: the toolkit to understand that messaging, then you're basically just 992 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 1: jumping into the water with no raft, you know what 993 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,720 Speaker 1: I mean. You want to set yourself up for success, 994 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: and therapy leads to success, and if you didn't have 995 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,760 Speaker 1: the right person, then maybe you need to find another 996 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 1: person and try better help again with another person. If 997 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,839 Speaker 1: you can afford to go to a therapist on your own, 998 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 1: whatever you can afford in your lifestyle, but you have 999 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,760 Speaker 1: to make the effort to get yourself to a healthy spot. 1000 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: You have to. I'm always so amazed when someone says 1001 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: I don't deserve to go to therapy to too self indulgent, 1002 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 1: especially someone I mean, anyone who's suffering through any kind 1003 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: of depression. If you had a broken leg, you go 1004 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 1: to the doctor, right, It's like it's that simple, And 1005 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 1: as human beings were all slightly broken inside. Without therapy, 1006 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: I definitely would not be where I am today, which 1007 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 1: is a very calm place. And I thought I remember 1008 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: being judgmental and thinking, oh my god, this is so 1009 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 1: self indulgent. Really, Julianna, you had a shitty relationship now 1010 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: twice a week. You know, this is ridiculous, but you 1011 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: know what, I had to do it, and it was hard, 1012 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 1: and it's hard to go in there. It is hard 1013 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: to go in there and figure it out. But just 1014 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,800 Speaker 1: what Chelsea said is like, once you have the tools, 1015 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,320 Speaker 1: when you have that feeling coming on, you know exactly 1016 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,720 Speaker 1: what tool to take out of the box to stop 1017 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: the feeling. And it's not actually just about you. It's 1018 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: about the people around you too. Right when you are 1019 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 1: fully in a good mental, healthy state, you're paying it 1020 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: forward to other people that you let out an energy 1021 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 1: that other people can take into. I always thought, you know, 1022 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: it was just about me. It's not. It's about everyone 1023 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: you cut And I think you need to think of 1024 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 1: it more because you're in r N. You take care 1025 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 1: of people, right, like, that's that's what you do. Yeah, 1026 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: and yet and yet you're having a hard time taking 1027 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: care of yourself because you feel it self indulgent. If 1028 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 1: you look at it more in just Layman's terms rather 1029 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: than you know, sort of like trying to understand the 1030 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 1: pseudo psycho whatever. If you just look at it. Like. 1031 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: One thing I always say to myself is why would 1032 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,719 Speaker 1: you treat any of your friends, or your child or 1033 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,919 Speaker 1: your husband this way? Why are you treating yourself this way? 1034 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: It's a mantra I play all the time because I'm 1035 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,240 Speaker 1: so hard on myself, and it has become so normal 1036 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,240 Speaker 1: now for me that I almost don't do it anymore 1037 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: to myself. But it took therapy, it took tools, it 1038 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,720 Speaker 1: took work, and now I'm a lot nicer to be around, 1039 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 1: to be honest, But I know my kid and my 1040 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: husband appreciate it because I'm not. I'm not always taking 1041 00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: on the world and like, I can't do that. Guy's 1042 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 1: so let's order in. It's that easy. Yeah, no, that's 1043 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 1: a good perspective. I didn't think about your right. I mean, sorry, Hi, 1044 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 1: it's good to cry. Let's let it out for me. 1045 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,280 Speaker 1: The reason I felt in my mind why it self 1046 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,959 Speaker 1: indulgent is because I don't have a partner. I don't 1047 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: have a family. I have my pets and everything. But 1048 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 1: but you know, I do have my sister, my nieces, 1049 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: my family. I see them often. I have friends, and 1050 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 1: you're right, my behavior affects them and my moods and 1051 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 1: I think I almost the first two sessions of therapy 1052 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: were so hie opening that I almost think that I 1053 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: got scared. You know, you did, of course, and that's 1054 00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,839 Speaker 1: gonna be good for me to remember. But you know, 1055 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,840 Speaker 1: even though I don't have people in my home, I 1056 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 1: still people in my life. So thank you where you 1057 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 1: needed yourself in your home? Right, Yeah, Ultimately it's yourself 1058 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: that you owe it to. Yeah, sorry, your tears are 1059 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 1: welcome here. And also you're talking about being a nurse. 1060 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: You're you're taking care of others. It's just what Juliano 1061 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 1: is saying about the mask you know that you put 1062 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,280 Speaker 1: on a plane. You have to take care of yourself. 1063 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,799 Speaker 1: In order to be a value to other people, you 1064 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 1: have to be a value to yourself. And that is 1065 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,360 Speaker 1: the most important part of growth and and and learning 1066 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,399 Speaker 1: about yourself is to know to have to take care 1067 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: of yourself and get yourself in a healthy place. And 1068 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: there's just there's nothing that is ever going to top that. 1069 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 1: Can I ask you something, Heidi, was that the first 1070 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: time you'd ever done therapy. No, I had a medical 1071 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 1: malpractice with my eye revision, and it left me with 1072 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: a lot of anger, and so I had therapy for 1073 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: that three or four years ago, but then I purchased 1074 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: a home, and as a single person, I didn't have 1075 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,360 Speaker 1: the economics to continue, or I felt like I didn't, 1076 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 1: And then COVID happened and I worked. I see you. 1077 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't remember if I put in the letter, and 1078 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 1: that was very difficult, very isolating. So it's almost been 1079 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 1: like a slow build since my previous therapy, and you know, 1080 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: with a lot of accelerants, and then I think it's weird. 1081 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 1: But like, since my life has calmed down, you know, 1082 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,759 Speaker 1: I left bedside, which has helped a lot with my anxiety, 1083 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 1: and I'm doing things I enjoy. I'm fostering animals. I'm 1084 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,959 Speaker 1: trying to take better care of myself. It's almost like 1085 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,720 Speaker 1: there was this one part of everything that was lacking 1086 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: that I guess I had been ignoring for so long 1087 00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 1: that it's almost like it shot. I don't know if 1088 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,760 Speaker 1: I can describe, like it's a yelling in my brain, 1089 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,760 Speaker 1: like a shout in my brain that's like you're skipping something, 1090 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 1: like you know what you need to do. And and 1091 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: so that's why I finally tried to face it again, 1092 00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 1: because I did that therapy and it helped me get 1093 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,480 Speaker 1: over the anger of you know, all the medical stuff, 1094 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 1: but there's issues from childhood and just anxiety, and there's 1095 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,359 Speaker 1: probably issues you don't even know yet I found out. 1096 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,840 Speaker 1: So it's a long road. Nothing's going to fix it 1097 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 1: in two sessions, you know, and it's hard. But yeah, 1098 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 1: like I said, I think I scared myself because I 1099 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, my grandmother recently passed, and I think that 1100 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 1: was a precipitous. She was a big cheerleader for me 1101 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 1: and she had dimension Alzheimer's. Sorry I'm telling you guys 1102 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 1: my whole life story, but she had dementia during all 1103 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,960 Speaker 1: of COVID and we couldn't visit her because you know, 1104 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: the lockdown and everything. And she was always a cheerleader 1105 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 1: of mine, and I think losing her presence my brain 1106 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,680 Speaker 1: was just like now you have to be your own cheerleader. 1107 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I know how to do that. 1108 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 1: It sounds so silly. Well, here's an exercise for you. 1109 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: Your your grandmother is still with you. Remember that her energy. 1110 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 1: She can never be you know, eradicated or erased or anything. 1111 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 1: Your grandmother's around you, and she doesn't have dementia anymore 1112 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,160 Speaker 1: because she's not here anymore, So she's your cheerleader. And 1113 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 1: when you're talking to yourself, you can pretend you're your grandmother, 1114 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 1: telling yourself that you deserve to go to therapy, that 1115 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: you deserve to figure out all of your ship. As 1116 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 1: difficult as it, maybe it is the most rewarding endeavor 1117 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: that you'll ever encounter in life, is to have the 1118 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: gift of self awareness and self understanding and self love. 1119 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, You are worthy. Yes, yes, And I want 1120 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: you to remember that. Think about your grandmother every single 1121 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 1: day because she would want this for you, and you 1122 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: can do it in her honor. Yeah, you have such 1123 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: a beautiful energy to you, like you are so just 1124 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: the fact that you're asking these questions you know, and that, 1125 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 1: and you're so gentle. You have this beautiful speaking voice, 1126 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,920 Speaker 1: the way you're speaking, and I feel like you're already 1127 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,479 Speaker 1: halfway there because you're obviously asking those questions. Your brain 1128 00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 1: is way to those questions. Right. So we're so hard 1129 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 1: on ourselves. Just give yourself a great and and and 1130 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 1: and think like if your sister were going through this, 1131 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 1: what would you say to her? Yeah? I always think 1132 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 1: about that, like what would someone tell me to do? 1133 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: Because I know I'm going to be too hard to 1134 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 1: tell myself to do the right thing or the thing 1135 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,919 Speaker 1: that will help me to do. I want to say, 1136 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 1: you're your own worst enemy type deal. Yeah, a little bit. 1137 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,920 Speaker 1: I mean until you get the tools to recognize it, 1138 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, but you're not going to learn that in 1139 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 1: two sessions of therapy, or quite frankly, maybe a year. 1140 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: Might you might need two years. I mean I've had 1141 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,919 Speaker 1: friends through therapists have been like, it's been ten years, 1142 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 1: You're good, you can go. What are you gonna do, though, Heidi? 1143 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 1: What do you what's your next move going to be? Well, 1144 00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 1: we're going on a family trip next week for Labor Day, 1145 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:50,960 Speaker 1: so I'm hoping to I'm gonna set my appointment for 1146 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 1: therapy before I go away. Yes, that's hard. It's something 1147 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,280 Speaker 1: that I know I needed. I think I just I 1148 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,920 Speaker 1: appreciate you kind of giving me the push. It's almost 1149 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 1: so silly, but act feel like I needed an approval. Yeah, 1150 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, No, that makes sense. Sure, and do 1151 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 1: me another favor. Also, download of meditation app like Headspace 1152 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: or Chopra or Sam Harris or Sam Harris. Yeah, ten 1153 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 1: percent happier any of those, and just give yourself five 1154 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 1: or ten minutes each morning starting out with there's all 1155 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,640 Speaker 1: these little classes and series they all have different ten 1156 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,920 Speaker 1: sessions of something. Find one that speaks to you and 1157 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,080 Speaker 1: that resonates with you. Just by the titles. And it 1158 01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 1: could be happiness, it could be calmness, it could be 1159 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: sleeping better, whatever it is. Just find that and start 1160 01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,920 Speaker 1: that practice, because you need to get into a practice 1161 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 1: of taking care of yourself. And it doesn't matter whether 1162 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: you're doing it right or not. It just matters that 1163 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 1: you're giving yourself that amount of time each day to 1164 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 1: say I care about my day and I care about 1165 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: myself and practice self love and so add that with 1166 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: your therapy session and just start doing that. And I 1167 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 1: bet you're going to feel the effects of that in 1168 01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: no time because you seem very open. Yeah, yeah, I'm trying. 1169 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna be okay. Just say that you're already asking 1170 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 1: the right questions. It's when you can't ask the right 1171 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: questions that's when I really worry about people. I'm like, 1172 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 1: oh boy, they're still closed down, but you're already asking 1173 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 1: the questions right. Thank you so much, a pleasure to 1174 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: meet you. You're wonderful. Enjoy let go. Oh, I'm so 1175 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: excited a little getaway and even told my family, was like, 1176 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm going with you guys, but I need my own 1177 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:42,080 Speaker 1: time as well. Yeah for you, I'm going to try 1178 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 1: that with my family. Thanks, h take care. That's like 1179 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 1: the opposite when I go away with my family, They're like, 1180 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: you're going to need a time out. Send you to 1181 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 1: your room. That was so sweet and meaningful. What a 1182 01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: meaningful episode. Absolutely love it. I don't think she's alone though. 1183 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 1: I think so many people after COVID are going through 1184 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 1: what she's going through too, And so I had a 1185 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: question before or not. I just I talked to so 1186 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 1: many people who are like I cannot move forward. I 1187 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 1: think there was a lot of that going on. She's 1188 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: gorgeous anyway, this fun. Thank you so much for joining 1189 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 1: us again. Yeah. I told Julianna she doesn't have to 1190 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,080 Speaker 1: ask me the exit question. That's too much pressure. She's 1191 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,640 Speaker 1: already been on the podcast, so we're gonna we're gonna 1192 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 1: skip that part. Although I didn't have one. Oh okay, 1193 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,160 Speaker 1: well hold on, let's do our break, right. We're gonna 1194 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: take a break and we'll be right back to close 1195 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,720 Speaker 1: out this episode with Julianna and Catherine. I like the 1196 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: way that I say Julianna in a different way each time. 1197 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's Juanna, sometimes it's Julianna. Which one do you 1198 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:47,960 Speaker 1: perfever you're feeling it's just Julianna. I mean, honestly, I 1199 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,160 Speaker 1: love hearing someone say Julianna or Julianna, whatever you want. 1200 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,040 Speaker 1: But it's almost never that I hear that because everyone 1201 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 1: calls me Jewels. Okay, everyone like and and sometimes Keith 1202 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 1: will be like me and rules Field like Keith, that's 1203 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 1: your bit, like I don't know him. My nickname with 1204 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: an email Jules but but yeah, but either but Julianna 1205 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 1: is the name doesn't matter for me. Okay, and we're back. Yes, 1206 01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 1: that was a little bit heavy. That was heavy episode today, um, 1207 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 1: and I really hope it helped a lot of people. 1208 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,480 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask a lighter question, Okay, Okay. Even 1209 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 1: though I told Julianna that she does not have to 1210 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,960 Speaker 1: ask me a question, she is insisting about it. I 1211 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 1: am because I like, I I really appreciate your advice, 1212 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: and I like how your brain works, Chelsea. I find 1213 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 1: it it stimulates my mind. So here's my question. To you. 1214 01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,520 Speaker 1: What do you do, Chelsea when you go to see 1215 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: a play or a performance or a stand up whatever 1216 01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 1: it is of a friend of yours and you have 1217 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: to go backstage. But it really was awful. So as 1218 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: someone who has been on stage and then heard all 1219 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: of it, I've heard all of it. I've heard I'm 1220 01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 1: going to tell everyone about this, which means they hated it, 1221 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:11,080 Speaker 1: and that's their way of or how do you feel? 1222 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 1: How do you feel about your perform I want to 1223 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: kill them. I want to shoot them dead. I want 1224 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: to be that supportive friend. And I was once in 1225 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: an acting class where the teacher would let us comment 1226 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,480 Speaker 1: on the scene study we were seeing. But it could 1227 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 1: only be positive, even if the scene was awful. You 1228 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,720 Speaker 1: could be like, I love how you dressed, and I 1229 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,000 Speaker 1: loved your voice, and that you know, and that's how 1230 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 1: you give a comment. What do you do, Chelsea when 1231 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,479 Speaker 1: you go back staging? I do that. I just lie. 1232 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 1: That is not obviously the time to be honest. And 1233 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 1: when somebody they can't change the performance, So no, I 1234 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 1: just think of something positive that I saw, or a 1235 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 1: character that I loved, or wasn't that girl amazing? Or 1236 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,440 Speaker 1: your performance I loved it. When you do this, I 1237 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 1: find that being specific with things to deflect from an 1238 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,840 Speaker 1: actual review, people are really drawn to that. They want 1239 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 1: to hear about their performance as a performer more than 1240 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 1: any thing else. And if you can just give him 1241 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 1: a couple of like kernels of that, that's just the 1242 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 1: best way to go about it. There's no reason to 1243 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 1: tell the truth in those situations. No, that's what I 1244 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,439 Speaker 1: thought you'd say, And I'm glad. I'm glad I've heard 1245 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 1: it from you from your mouth. I've definitely been in 1246 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:22,040 Speaker 1: that situation. Alright, guys, thank you, you have a great day. 1247 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: I'll be in touch about we love it well. Thank you.
