The last time we kissed, 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: it was just supposed to be a little kiss like that, 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: and then you slipped to me the tongue like three 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: or four times. That was the plan. I'm so excited 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: to see you. We actually have a little kind of 29 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: circle of friends in comments. Yes, absolutely, And when did 30 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: I see you last at Charlie's Charlie's event and you 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: gave me some great advice about getting in shape that 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: I took what you were like just smaller meals and 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: you also because I believe for so long, So a 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: little bit of backstory, I've never been fit in my life. 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: I've always really struggled to be fit and take care 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: of my body because I've always focused on my career 37 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: and deteriorated my body and health. But when I met 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: Chelsea last she said, listen, you don't have to do 39 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: cardio all day long. She just told me, you don't 40 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: do cardio, you lift weights, you consistent, you eat smaller meals. 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: You just made it sound so attainable for me. Since then, 42 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: I've literally lost twenty pounds. What have you What have 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: you been doing seven intimate fasting? I been doing low 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: carb and I was just changing my diet, doing better 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: choices than doing weightlifting whenever I can. And how do 46 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: you feel mentally? I feel mentally phenomenal. I feel like 47 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: my confidence and it wasn't even just about how I looked. 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: I want to emphasize that I was always really happy 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: with how I looked. I thought, my body is my body, 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: and I love it. But now it's just like the 51 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: energy I have and the confidence I feel, and the 52 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: clarity I have in my mind, all that stuff, And 53 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: you really did inspire me. Oh well, I'd love to 54 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: hear that. And you know what, I just want to 55 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: say that, I want to reiterate that because when people 56 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: think about dieting and then people think of it externally, 57 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: but it does change your mental priority. It changes your 58 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: energy levels, it changes your happiness levels, your endorphins. You know, 59 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: when you feel good and you wake up and you're 60 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: not exhausted and you have even energy throughout the day, 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a great feeling because you feel like you 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: can almost do anything. I would pick that over the 63 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: superficial stuff any day if you have to say when 64 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: you when you do this right, you'll either feel good 65 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: inside or I thought I'd be like inside inside. I 66 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: want to be a good inside because now when I 67 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: walk up the stairs, I'm not sweating. Yeah, I'm sweating, 68 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: but for other reasons. I'm not really sure why I'm 69 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: always sweating. It's because you have a joint in your mouth. 70 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: It's well, that doesn't really make you sweat. I mean, 71 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: from somebody trying to be relatable with drugs, I don't 72 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: know how it feels like, you know. I was just 73 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: about to say, have you ever smoked a joy and 74 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: sweats when they smoke a joy? I only had to 75 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: experience once I got really high for the first time. 76 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: It was horrible and I tripped out so bad, And 77 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: the second time I've been with me, I would have 78 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: never when I and then when I went to your tour, 79 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: you gave me. You gave me an edible and you 80 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: told me to take half of it, and did you? 81 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: I took one quarter of it and what happened? I 82 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: felt nothing? Okay, well that's because there's that's like one milligram. 83 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: But anyway, if you want to get high again. I 84 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: will arrange what you're going to take. Everyone says these 85 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: words to me. You should know the Snoop Dogg was 86 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: also like, okay, I'll get you. I'm like, you are 87 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: not getting me high, Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg came to 88 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: do my show once and the building that we operated 89 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: the show out of smelled like marijuana until the next fall. 90 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: He came to my show and the green room was 91 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: basically a hot box situation, and then on the way 92 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: out he just took a poster off the wall of 93 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: me and took it home. I love him, He's amazing, 94 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: but I was like, sir, you will not be getting 95 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: me high. You know who get who also has great 96 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: weight is Wi Khalifa. He has the best weed. I 97 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: feel like I would die. Yeah. We were once at 98 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: a dinner and Shania Twain wanted to we were all smoking, 99 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and well, it was in my dinner that I was 100 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: filming for Netflix. So I'm not name dropping because it 101 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: was an actual TV show, so shut it down. It 102 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: was Shania Twain. I think I've told the story on 103 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: this podcast. But Shania Twain, Chill Scott, the guy from 104 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: Imagine Dragons and Wiz Khalifa and Shania Twain. I smoked 105 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: one hit of it, walked into the bathroom in one 106 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: of my guest rooms and couldn't find my way back 107 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: to my house. I was like, what room am I 108 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: in and where? And when I came out Shania, I 109 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: was like, Shania here. We passed the joy to her 110 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 1: and she's like, oh no, I don't touch the stuff. 111 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, you need it more than any of us. 112 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: You better fucking smoke this now. My first experience was horrible. 113 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: I forgot. I was convinced that my tongue wouldn't in 114 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: my mouth anymore. So I I know that, and I 115 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: couldn't remember my tongue back in my mouth. It wouldn't 116 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: fit in my brand, it wouldn't fit. Yeah, well, you 117 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: know what. Cannabis isn't for everybody. I'll just take vodka shots. 118 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Um, Katherine, how are you doing today? 119 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing great.

By going back, 170 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I realized that there is life beyond my career. I 171 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: don't want to give up on my dreams, but I 172 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: also don't want to be stuck in a position again 173 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: where I have no work. I just don't know what 174 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: the right thing is to do. Any advice you have 175 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: for me in this career transition would be so appreciated. 176 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: Thanks from a big fan. Jeremy Okay, Jeremy here, He's 177 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: not This was just an email. Oh god, I wish 178 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: I understood how this podcast worked. Whenever I asked for 179 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: the caller, they're not there. And then whenever I respond, 180 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: like it's a write and they're on the phone, you're 181 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: doing thank you, thank you. Do you want to start 182 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: with I? I listen. I relate to the struggle so 183 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: so hard as someone who also was like I want 184 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: to make art and I'm creative, and my Indian parents 185 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: were like, shut the f off, that's not going to happen. 186 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: It's not a real job. Get a real job. So 187 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: here here's my advice. I think you live in a 188 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: very very unique time where there's so many opportunities to 189 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: create things. We live in a very privileged time in 190 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: that way, right, there's so many platforms, there's so many 191 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: ways to avoid the gatekeepers. Make your own off, build 192 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: a following. However, that takes time and energy, a lot 193 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: of hustle, and a lot of opportunities. So what I 194 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: did is I had a job. I also really hard 195 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: to on the side, also do my art, also work 196 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: on it, learned to edit, learned to shoot, learn how 197 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: to do comedy. I had two full time jobs for 198 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: a really long time, and that's how I built my audience. 199 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm want to say, you don't have to follow the 200 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: conventional like I need to get hired as an actor 201 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: to do this anymore. Make your own sketches, create your 202 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: own content, and I think the opportunity for that today 203 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: is better than ever before. Is he an entertainer? Is 204 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: that what he said? Yeah, he's an actor and a singer. 205 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: Oh I see yeah, exactly right. This is the best 206 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: time in the world. TikTok baby, yeah, tickety talk, get 207 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, but it's not easy. I think a 208 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: lot of people think like, oh, I'll just post the 209 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: videoesn't get it following It's it's a lot of work. 210 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: But if you want it, get the job that pays 211 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: the bills, and then do the job you love when 212 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: you have the time after the job that pays the bills. Yeah. 213 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: But I also would say, like, if you made the 214 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: effort to go to school and you're into school, you 215 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: can do all of it. It's on same time, right, Like, 216 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: get the education you want and then supplemented with all 217 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: of this stuff, because it's going to be a huge 218 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: learning curve anyway to learn how to like you know, 219 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: register on TikTok, on social media, in acting in all 220 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: of that stuff, and to make your mark. So it's 221 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: going to be a learning curve anyway, So why not 222 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: also be supplementing that with an education. I also think, 223 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: and this is like a nerdy thing, but I think 224 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: school is dope. I missed school. I want to go 225 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: to I would like to go to college. I would 226 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: like to go to school. I think when I was 227 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: in school, I'm like, but now I'm like, I would 228 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: love to go. I would like to go live on campus. 229 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: How do we in a fraternity and a sorority because 230 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: I would like to tell men what the fuck they're 231 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: doing wrong and try and change the trajectory of their 232 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: bad behavior. And I would also like to be involved 233 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: in sorority life so that I can steer girls towards 234 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: having a little bit more self esteem, a little bit 235 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: more self confidence, and not taking any fucking ship. That's right. 236 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: So anyway, that's a side note. We both want to 237 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: go back to college. A fun factor to wrap this 238 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: all up. As a Canadian, I didn't think sororities and 239 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: fraternities were real. I thought there are only movies until 240 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: I was in my mid twenties. They actually shouldn't. You know. 241 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: It is kind of an anti it's an antiquated notion 242 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: because you know, it's just exclusionary. It's excluding son because 243 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: people don't get in right, So forget it. I don't 244 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: want to be in a fraternity. I don't want to 245 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: be in a sorority. What I really want to do 246 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: is just go back to college. But the thing is, 247 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: if I went back to school, I would end up 248 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: having an inappropriate relationship with somebody that was eighteen or seventeen, 249 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: and that's illegal. Seventeen is illegal, I know that, and 250 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: eighteen is not illegal. Eighteen is legal, So you can 251 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: have relationship with eighteen year old, but eighte year old 252 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: can't drink here. That's right, Okay, America? Hello, are you 253 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: just learning that the legal age for US is nineteen? 254 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: The agent in America's twenty one? Ridiculous? You could do 255 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: anything else before Sherlock. Our country is fucking upside down 256 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: and twisted Americans. I tell you, I know Canadians is 257 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: where it's at. That's why I'm going to marry Lily 258 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: so I can wear citizenship. I brought the ring. You know, 259 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: careers in general, I feel when I was growing up, 260 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: I had this very linear idea of what my career 261 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: in life would be. I would go to school, get 262 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: a piece of paper that said I was good at something, 263 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: get a job, do that job forever, and that was 264 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: going to be life. That's not real life. That's not 265 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: real life at all. I got a psych degree, which 266 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: I it's a paperweight right now at my house. It's useless. 267 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: I never use it. But that's cool, that's not useless. 268 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: But here's the thing about psych is that you do 269 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: all this reading and studying and at the end of 270 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: the fifty page chapter goes, but also, none of this 271 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: may be true. That's what I can't get on board with. Well, 272 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: what do you mean? They'll have all these theories about 273 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: like why the thing people behave that way, Then the 274 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: last paragraph of the book will be like, but also 275 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: this is all up for debate and may not actually 276 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: be accurate. Yeah, you know what I mean, right, Maybe 277 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: I use my psych degree a little bit like when 278 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm flirting to try to trick people. I don't know anyways, 279 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: But the point I'm making is I got a psych degree. 280 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to be a counselor can 281 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: you believe that? And then I discovered YouTube and I 282 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: made YouTube videos and then I was like, this is 283 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: what I'm doing for the rest of my life, I guess. 284 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: And then from there I wrote a book and I 285 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I guess I'm an author. Then from 286 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: there I went on a tour and I'm like, oh, 287 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: I guess I'm a performer. And then I got a 288 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: late night show and I thought, this is what I'm 289 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: doing for the rest of my The point I'm making 290 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: is my career has changed so many times, and each 291 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: time I was so sure this is the thing I'm 292 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: doing forever, and then life slaps across the face and 293 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: you realize that you don't have to narrow yourself into 294 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: one direction. You can do it all, and you can 295 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: do all the things that you think are interesting, and 296 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: life will probably force it to be that way. Yeah. 297 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: I think anytime you think you're set up for something 298 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: and it's going to be for a long time, life 299 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: throws you a curveball. I know, because for my experience, 300 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: it's like I always go into things thinking, funk, how 301 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: long is this going to go on for? Like it's 302 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: the opposite thing, like I don't like to be I 303 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: have a commitment. I'm commitment phobic in that way with 304 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: with regard to career and like signing a contract for 305 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: more than two years, Like I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, 306 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna want to be in 307 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: this country. I don't know if I want to still 308 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: live in l A. And I don't want to be 309 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: beholden to anyone, you know, I have major issues about that, 310 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: Like I need freedom to move around, bounce around whenever 311 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: I want. So I have kind of the opposite thing 312 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: with you, but again in multiple different ways, like doing 313 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: so many different things when I feel them. You know, 314 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: obviously that's a luxury to have, and not everybody starts 315 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: out their career like that. But the more of a 316 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: foundation you lay, the more options you have later on 317 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: down the road. So you know, having an education, having talent, 318 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: having all these different modes of making money and making 319 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: income and attracting people to you is always going to 320 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: pay back in spades. So I also think another big 321 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: thing is you can't grow and stay the same, like 322 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: that can't happen. And I think with Late Night, for me, 323 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: I was so excited about Late Night, and I really 324 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: believe I can do anything after that because it was 325 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: so exhausting in every single way, and I just feel 326 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: like everything I do now was a breeze, to be honest, 327 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: But when I did Late Night, I was like, Okay, 328 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: this is a historic thing. This is for representation, you know, 329 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: in thirty years, you know, the first Indian woman. But 330 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: then when I was in that environment, I think something 331 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: changed with the new when I thought I could be 332 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: moving the needle in a better, more effective way. I 333 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: learned the tools I learned from Late Night, but I 334 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: very quickly learned that I was only going to be 335 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: able to do so much in that setup. And now 336 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: I have ambitions to be the person who makes the 337 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: decisions about the representation, not just the shiny person that 338 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: is the representation. And so I feel like everything happens 339 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: for a reason, And when your career shifts, it's because 340 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: you're meant to do something else and you're meant to 341 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: contribute in a different way. That's what I'm telling myself, 342 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: but that's also what we talked about on this podcast. 343 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: A lot is like instead of resisting the change, accepting 344 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: the change and going Okay, this is this is over, 345 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: this doesn't work for me or whatever, and moving on 346 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: to the next thing with the same amount of enthusiasm, 347 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: the same amount of interest, knowing that you know, instead 348 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: of looking in the rear of your mirror, which so 349 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: many people are so guilty lot of, like I wish 350 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: I could have, should have, would have. It's over. It 351 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You cannot change history. So it's better to 352 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: just move forward with a hundred and fifty percent of 353 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: enthusiasm and being like, Okay, I'm gonna nail this, and 354 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: then everything kind of always ends up lining up for 355 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: you in the right way. I completely agree. Thus far, 356 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: you have a survival rate of surviving every single thing 357 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: that has happened in your life one percent. You've gone 358 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: through every single thing. Yeah, that's a great point. I'm 359 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: gonna start making it. Yeah. Remember we had our first 360 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: late night kiss at the beginning of your show. We did. 361 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Lily was like, and then we had like 362 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: twenty others off camera. Well, yeah, because Lily wouldn't leave 363 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: me alone. She wouldn't get off my jock. So typical. 364 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: Chelsea always comes through no matter what I asked her, literally, 365 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: no matter what I asked. I was like, Chelsea, I 366 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: need you to come to my show. I need to 367 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: kiss someone. She's like, cool, be there, I'll be there. 368 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: I'll be there on Tuesday. She's a real one, a 369 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: real one. Yeah. Yeah, I try. Yeah. I hadn't meant 370 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: that day out of respect for our situation. I would 371 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: never do that because I did not I know. Last 372 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: night we were flying home from New York and my 373 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: boyfriend was like, just my breath smell. I'm like, I 374 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: don't know, honey, I just keep my mask on all 375 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: the time because I love the smell of my own breath. 376 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: That we're disgusting, we're all, but we're all so disgusting 377 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: that I don't want to smell other people anymore. I 378 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: just I'm going to continue wearing that mask for years 379 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: because I like my breath, and well, it mostly smells 380 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: like cannabis, but that is a smell that comforts me, 381 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: and I like my mask smells. So the other day 382 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: I took someone's mask to borrow, like a friend of 383 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: mine was like here, yeah, of course. I was like, 384 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: how do I get delta the delta area quickly? And 385 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: they gave it to me and I was like, oh, no, 386 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: thank you. I don't like that smell. The biggest joke 387 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: of this entire situation is you're supposed to wash your 388 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: mask every time you use it. Come on, come on, 389 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: that's pridiculous. Let's let's just settle the disposable ones. Those 390 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: little blue and white ones. Are you I wear those? Yeah? 391 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: Those like you know, doctor ones, not THEE but the 392 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: little thin blue and white ones. Oh no, I have 393 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: my own off mask. No, No, yeah, I say I'm not. No, 394 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: I keep thinking it's gonna be over any day. You 395 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: need to just wake up and get with the times. 396 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: It's never over a kid, it's never getting over. It's 397 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: the pandemic forever. And I don't know if you can 398 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: afford that sample. I'm so sorry if you can't. Okay, 399 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure we can. I'm sure we can. It's a podcast. 400 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we be able to Chelse? I like to 401 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: I like the idea of putting in my own money 402 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: to buy the licensing rights for my podcast. My heart 403 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: doesn't do it. I have to put up the money. 404 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, guys, I want to buy this song 405 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: for fifty grand. Okay, well, I hope that helps you. 406 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: I had touch based with us and let us know 407 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: what happened. Jeremy, Jeremy. Okay, who do we have next? Okay? 408 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: Our next caller is Tara. She's forty and she lives 409 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: in California. She says, Dear Chelsea, I'm forty years old 410 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: and I have been married for fifteen years to my 411 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: high school sweetheart. We've been together for the better part 412 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: of twenty five years. But when I envisioned my future, 413 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't see it being with a man. I started 414 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: having these feelings about two years ago, but recently they've 415 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: grown stronger and stronger. Well, the vision of my new 416 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: life excites me, and I've told my husband, who's been 417 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: super supportive. I'm not sure how to tell my family 418 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: any advice, And I actually spoke to Tara. She had 419 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: written in before she talked to her husband. She said 420 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: they're going to stay married for the time being, and 421 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: he's really completely horritive. But she's a really private person 422 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: that isn't really sure if her family needs to know. 423 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: So she's here with us right now and she can 424 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: tell you a little bit more about her situation. Hi, Terry, 425 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: Hi Chelsea, I'm great, do you know Lily Lily Tara? Hi, 426 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: really nice to meet you and an awesome question. What 427 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: really awesome question. Yeah, it's good timing too because of 428 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: my special cast. Yes, oh perfect. Hi, I apologize. I'm 429 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: not familiar with who you are, so don't apologize at all. 430 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,479 Speaker 1: Chelsea and I have very different demographs. Don't worry. I'm 431 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: sure her audience has no idea. Who the funk I am, 432 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: so no worries. Yeah, so my situation, I guess everything's 433 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: been actually pretty great with my husband, but yeah, I'm 434 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: very private person. I don't I don't Instagram, I don't Twitter, 435 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: I don't anything. I google myself to make sure that 436 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: I can't find information on myself. And I have like 437 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: a big half Italian family, half Irish family, and it's 438 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: navigating telling them because my husband I've been together for 439 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 1: so long and that's all that they know, and I 440 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: just don't want to have to explain myself. It's the questions, 441 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: the why when did you this? That, like I really 442 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: don't feel it's any other fucking business, and like it 443 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: is what it is. But there's gonna be family events 444 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: coming up, and it's just figuring out kind of how 445 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: to bob and weave through that. Right, Well, I'll let 446 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: you go, okay, experience. So my background is that at 447 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: the tender age of thirties, I relate to you. At 448 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: the age of thirty, I came out is by So 449 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: don't don't at all feel like you're alone. There's a 450 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: whole bunch of us older folks who are like, we're 451 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: figuring things out and it's a lifelong journey and that's okay. 452 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: But you know what, I completely agree with the sentiment 453 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: of it is no one's business. And you don't need 454 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: to explain yourself. And I think the most beautiful thing 455 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: that people can decide is that they don't need to 456 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: come out because they actually don't need to explain to 457 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: anybody who they are. And I I'm so emotional hearing 458 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: your story because one of the only reasons I came 459 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: up was because I was in the public eye and 460 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: had a big fear that someone else would say it 461 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: before I would, and I wouldn't be able to live 462 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: with myself. But I remember thinking, why do I need 463 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: to tell like this extended group of friends, or this 464 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: extended group of ants and uncles, why do they need 465 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: to explain who I am. It's not like people come 466 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: out and straight. It's not only people have to tell 467 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: you something. I actually am straight. Like that doesn't happen, right, 468 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: And so I think this. I think you're a full 469 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: fledged adult. You have your own life, You are figuring 470 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: out who you are, and that's never gonna and that's 471 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: gonna keep happening. You don't really need to explain anything 472 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: to anyone. And I love the fact that your husband 473 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: is being supportive. I think that is wonderful. But I 474 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: think you don't really need to have a list of people, 475 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: decid need to tell all these people explain, and you 476 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: don't need to answer those questions. I think all you 477 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: need to do is make a choice and set boundaries. 478 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: And this is me straight up quoting my therapist, which 479 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: is just when people ask you those questions, which they will, 480 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: how did you know? But what about this? But what 481 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: about your sex life? Hey, this is just where I'm 482 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: at and I don't really need to explain, Like, let's 483 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: let's instead go have a drink, let's instead hang out. 484 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't need to go through this entire process of 485 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: uprooting my past now to explain to you who I am. 486 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,239 Speaker 1: You just need to love who you are. If you 487 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: accept who you are, that's all that matters. Truly. Yeah, 488 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with it. And there's just such a 489 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: rhetoric now around people just micromanaging their sexuality of their this, 490 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: and they're back and I'm like, I'm just like you. Yeah. 491 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: And it's also like when you're thinking, I feel so 492 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: much for teens when they're coming because I'm like, I 493 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: think they still need the support of their parents and 494 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: they still need to be taken after and when you're younger, 495 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: but when you're an adult. It's kind of like, if 496 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: you want to celebrate who I am, great, if you don't, 497 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: I have a fully functioning life already, and I'm doing 498 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: my own thing and I'm gonna be great either way. 499 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: So that's kind of the silver lining I discovered of 500 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: coming out later in life, where I didn't need to 501 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: be scared that I was gonna get kicked out. I 502 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: didn't need to be scared that I was gonna get disowned. 503 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: It was like, I already have an entire universe of 504 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: my own, and so you can be part of it, 505 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: and we can party and go to Pride together and 506 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: listen to Lady Gaga box and be dope, or you 507 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: can be over there and I'll be doing that by 508 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: myself over here. Yes, very true, very true. I love 509 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: that you're talking about being a lesbian and you're wearing 510 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: a shirt that says, hey, pussy Sofia. Everyone has golden girl, right, yeah, 511 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: we do. Who's your who's your inner golden girl. I'm 512 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: not going to know any of the names of them 513 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: because I'm too young and you guys are acting really 514 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: old right now. Sorry, Sorry, Dorothy is mine. There's one 515 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: that like drinks a lot, right, Rue McClanahan, Okay, I 516 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: think that's me. I forget what her name was. What 517 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: was her name, Tara Dorothy Blanche You don't drink a lot, 518 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: kind of not really, but you know, I enjoy White 519 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: is the airhead, she's the dipsy doode, all of the bunch. Yeah, 520 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends like her. I have 521 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: my grandma. Anyway, back to you, Tara. First of all, 522 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: I think you should have a lot of gratitude for 523 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: the fact that you are with a man that is 524 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: as understanding as he is, and he's cool with that. 525 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: He understands that everything's good. Right. Oh yeah, I mean 526 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: it's we're still living together, we're staying married. It's just 527 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: because logistically we've been together so long it will probably 528 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: just be a nightmare. We're really fortunate to we have 529 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: a friend who very close mutual friend who's a divorce attorney, 530 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: so when it does have to happen, we can have 531 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: her mediate through things. And yeah, he's just he's I mean, 532 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's confusing and hurtful, hurts him because we've 533 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: been together pretty much since we were kids, so it's 534 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: kind of all he knows. It's somewhat all I know, besides, 535 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: you know, a little small breaks here and there. But yeah, 536 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: he's just he's really been awesome. He's my best friend. 537 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: He's one of the people I've known in my life 538 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: the longest that I'm not related to. So yeah, and 539 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: it seems to me like that, really, is the only 540 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: person that you owe any explanation too? Is the person 541 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: that you are living with, or married to, or in 542 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: a relationship with. I agree with Lily, but I mean, 543 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: I think what you're saying is that you don't want 544 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: to even come out to your family, right, Um, No, 545 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: it's not. I mean it's kind of along lines of 546 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: what Lelie said. I don't feel I owe anyone an explanation, 547 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: and when the time comes and when I see them, 548 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: like my grandma two and she's sucking sharp as a button, 549 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: But is she really going to understand, Like, oh wow, 550 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: how do you twenty five years into a relationship just 551 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: decide the rule of thumb is to always lie to 552 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: the grandparents. You be honest to everyone else, you always 553 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: lie to the grandparents. You're like, I'm not going to 554 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: be the person that gives you the heart attack, Like, 555 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: so I lied to all the randparents that I feel 556 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: like just common like, I feel like that's fine. I 557 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: would send her pictures of my dogs and she'd like, 558 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: don't send me pictures you have sucking dogs. Have kids 559 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: and send me pictures and the kids and lie about 560 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: that too. Just send random kids. I'm telling you had 561 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: a cabbage patch baby, and send her a picture of that. 562 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: Say I just got this. It might be acceptable. Actually, yeah, 563 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: I would say. I couldn't agree more. I don't understand 564 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: why gay people have to come out. You don't have 565 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: to come out. It's like straight people don't have to 566 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: declare that their their straightness. And I think you've made 567 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: up your mind. It sounds like you understand what's going on, 568 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: and that is just the first step in a series 569 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: of steps that you're going to be take. Gig, you've 570 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: made the biggest first one. I totally agree about not 571 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: coming out to your family. It's not their business. This 572 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: is your life and this is your show. You know, 573 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: you have to make yourself happy, make yourr Yeah, this 574 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: is dear Tara. You have to make yourself happy. And Indian, 575 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying it to Indian. It's my fault. I said 576 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: it to Indian. I'm from New York and my mom 577 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: just pop Indian people say thought and I knew I 578 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: was going to make that mistake and them and when 579 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: I'm around Indian people, So it's very confusing for all 580 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: three of the last saying, I know we have to 581 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: move over. The last thing I really want to say, 582 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: just from my heart is after listening to you and 583 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: Chelsea speak, Chelsea mentioned gratitude, and I do want to 584 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 1: just insider a little unicorness and say, I know this 585 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: is super hard and super difficult and probably really stressful, 586 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: but there's something really awesome about saying I spent so 587 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: many years with this person who is awesome, and now 588 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: I get to explore different part of myself and do 589 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: the best of both worlds and live all parts of myself, 590 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,719 Speaker 1: which a lot of people don't get to do. So 591 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a really cool silver lining of you 592 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: just like living your truth. I'm a very close friend 593 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: I've known longer than my husband, and I went and 594 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: stayed with him and he had said, just because the 595 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: relationship is over doesn't mean it was bad. He said, 596 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: you guys had such a great time, you know, great 597 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: times together. Think of the things that you did the 598 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: things you grew together and those things that just helped 599 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: develop your character. He said, it doesn't make make it bad, 600 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 1: and I was like, you're right, and it was so true, 601 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: like very invested. Yeah, that's right, and hold on to 602 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: that because you're having an awakening of what you desire, 603 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: and that is also worth celebrating. To be in touch 604 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: enough with your emotions to do something about it, and 605 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: to be in touch with your feelings. So many people 606 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: are not able to do that. They'll go their whole 607 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: life and never do that, right, right, right, Yeah. The 608 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: only thing I'd really do cruise on is Reddit and 609 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: all cruise on the like late bloomer lesbian forums and 610 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: late bloomer lesbian By the way, there's a there's a 611 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: mass exodus of women leaving heterosexuality to be late bloomer lesbians, 612 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: late bloomer. They're like, so I'm twenty seven, and I'm all, okay, 613 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: all right, and like I'm twenty two. I don't know 614 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: what late was then, but okay.

I 617 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: just I'm gonna live this life inside this body, and 618 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: I I couldn't like.

I said, I literally haven't told anyone. 625 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: That's probably why it bottled up so much inside of me. 626 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: It eats inside of you, for sure, totally sending you 627 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: all the love and life.

We got back 649 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: together just a couple of days after, but now I 650 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: feel like I can't trust what he says and his 651 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: feelings towards me. I don't know what to make of 652 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: anything and could really use him advice. Twenty four and 653 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: genetically predisposed to divorce Jessica. Okay, Hi, Jessica, Hi, how 654 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: are you guys? We're good? How are you doing? I'm good? Yeah, 655 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: well except for what's going on? Yeah there's that. Okay, 656 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: So what happened? So your boyfriend proposed to you? After 657 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: how many years together? We've been together about two years, 658 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: and we've known each other for close to ten so 659 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: it's been a while. We're both in our mid twenties, 660 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: so it didn't really seem like the perfect time. We 661 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: also didn't even live together or anything, so it's kind 662 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: of waiting on that. And then he totally obviously threw 663 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: me for a loop when he broke up with me 664 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: a little while later. So okay, but back up a little. 665 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: So he proposed to you and you said no on 666 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: the spot, like, how did you tell him that? How 667 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: did you turn him down? Yeah, it was pretty on 668 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: this spot. Had you ever discussed getting married prior to 669 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, we've talked about like getting married and 670 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: stuff like that a lot, but mostly in like a 671 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: hypothetical long ways away when we moved to Mars, we'll 672 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: get married. Got it right, exactly, So it's gonna happen 673 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: sooner than you think, Lily, so be careful. And he 674 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: didn't have a ring either, so I'm like, he proposed 675 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: without a ring. Yeah, it was kind of like a 676 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: heat of the moment, like passion type of thing. So yeah, 677 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: but now you guys are back together, Yeah, and we've 678 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: been together, so wait, so you said no? How did 679 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: you say it? What did you say You're like this 680 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: isn't right or yeah? I mean I was just basically 681 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: like no, like let's think about this a little bit 682 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: more like yeah, before like moving forward with that, but 683 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: now I don't really know how to trust what he 684 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: says he feels about me. Wait, so you said no 685 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: then he broke up with you and said, what, what 686 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: was the reason for breaking up with you because you 687 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: didn't want to marry him? Well, no, it actually didn't 688 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: really have anything to do with that. We were both 689 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: like some funny had a piece of paper and a pen. 690 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's so convoluted, but um, we 691 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: had both just quit smoking at the time, so emotions 692 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: were high and coping skills were very low, and we 693 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: kind of kept pickering. So it kind of led to 694 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: this like explosive moment of like I just can't do 695 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: this anymore. And then we took a couple of days 696 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: to cool off and he was like, yeah, I think 697 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: that we just need to talk things through and work 698 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: this out. Okay, it wasn't a breakup or was it? 699 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: Was it a let's take some time. It was at 700 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: the time, it was a breakup which turned into Was 701 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: it a we were on a break or was it 702 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: was it ross or was it not? Well? He said, 703 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, like this is it, like I don't want 704 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: to talk to you anymore only to call me in 705 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: like a few days. What a mistake? You know, I 706 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: want to work this out. Okay? Well, so then why 707 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: do you feel like you can't trust him because cansidering 708 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: like how he's giving me like all of the run 709 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: rounds in the book, like I'm going to be with 710 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: you forever, I love you so much, all of this 711 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: telling me everything I want to hear, and at the 712 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: same time not being able to communicate shutting down, breaking 713 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: up with me. What am I supposed to make that? Right? 714 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: I think you guys are I think you guys have 715 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: been together for a long time and you're probably just 716 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: you're just going through a little bit of a rough patch. 717 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: It sounds like you have a pretty good thing going 718 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: with him, and that your communication just needs to be 719 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: a little bit maybe aided by a third party, like 720 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: a therapist. I mean, have you considered that going to 721 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: therapy together? Yeah, we both go to therapy individually, but 722 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: that's like totally something that I feel like would be 723 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: really beneficial. Yeah, I mean, you've been together for over 724 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: ten years, right, altogether, we've known each other for ten years. 725 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: A couple of therapy is really really good, especially if 726 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: you pick the therapist and then you pay them on 727 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: the side so they agree with everything you say. You 728 00:33:53,840 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: have a side conversation with that from the get go right. Yeah, worse, 729 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: but it's better to make them know going in since 730 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: he's not on this call, going in like this is 731 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: my objective. I want to stay together. And listen, every 732 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: couple has to grow, you know what I mean, And 733 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: there's always gonna be friction. If there's not friction, there's 734 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: not growth. So you can trust him. You're creating a narrative. 735 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: I think maybe you're reacting to something else, so you're 736 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: feeling a little unsafe. You know, he loves you, he 737 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: wanted to marry you. You quit smoking together. You said 738 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: no to getting married, and you guys quit smoking together. 739 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: That shows me that you made too really responsible decisions. 740 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,959 Speaker 1: Knowing that you're too young to get married is great. 741 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: Not acting in the heat of the moment is great, 742 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: and quitting smoking is great. I mean, you're smart, You've 743 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: got your ship together. You guys just need a little 744 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: bit of help to stay together. I also think there's 745 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of As someone who was not there, 746 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: let me now share my opinion about what happened. I 747 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: think he had to have been a little bit hurt 748 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: by getting the no, and that's what's probably the reason 749 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: for the bick rings. So you're saying that like, oh, 750 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with that, maybe from your end, 751 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: but I can imagine from his end, probably felt some 752 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: type of way about that, and that probably led to 753 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: him bickering a little bit and being like I need 754 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: some time. He got rejected, right, it's natural, and men 755 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: don't like that. They don't like that at all, see White. Yeah, yeah, 756 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: I think so, I really don't. I don't like that 757 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: at all. So, yes, so you have to be a 758 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: little bit empathetic to that because you love him, right, yeah, 759 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: exactly exact, feel like we can you know, make things work. 760 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: Of course, you can. You can make anything that you 761 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: want to work work, especially if there's a willing party. So, 762 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: and I think another important thing is that does he 763 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: bring out the best in you? Does he make you happy? Yeah? Yeah, 764 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: we probably should ask that first. Actually, does he make 765 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: you happy? And he feel safe and you feel the 766 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: best version of yourself. Yeah, I feel like we both 767 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: bring that out of each other. So I feel like 768 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: we have a really very perfect, strong foundation and everything. Yeah, 769 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: I think you're going to be fine. Jessica. You sound 770 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: like you just need a reminder that you're in a 771 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: relationship with the right person. You guys have a good 772 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: thing going and you just went through a little rough patch. 773 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: What Lily said is absolutely astute, and I'm sure accurre 774 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: it that he was feeling rejected and then had to 775 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: reject you. That's what a lot of white men feel 776 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: like they have to do. That's what a lot of 777 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: people feel like they have to do. Look at me 778 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: using my psych degree. Oh my god, I know the 779 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: first time she went to we just watched a psychology degree. 780 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, So it's going to be called 781 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: dear Lily from now on. And I'm just gonna be 782 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: in the other room with Catherine. I'll tell you right now. 783 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: And brown people call the questions are gonna be a 784 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: lot different. Your answers are going to scare them. Anyway, 785 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: keep us posted and let us know. But get a therapist. Okay, okay, 786 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: so much by Jessica. Thank you guys, take care. Another 787 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: problem solved. You're crushing it. Thank you. I mean you 788 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: didn't think you needed your psych degree, but look at 789 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: it before my surprise, Katherine, how did you feel about that? 790 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: I felt great. I got married very young. I was 791 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 1: twenty three when Brad the editor here, and I got married, 792 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: and we really went through like two years of marriage 793 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: counseling early in our marriage, and it taught us so much. 794 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: It taught us how to argue, it taught us how 795 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: to get along, It taught us good ground rules, and really, 796 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: I think it's set our marriage up, even though we 797 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: didn't do pre marital counseling, Having that so early in 798 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: our relationship like totally solidified where we are now. We 799 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: just celebrated our sixteenth anniversary of thirteenth of marriage, sixteenth 800 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: of together. So look at him knowing that the enough. 801 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: I think people always associate couples counseling or therapy with 802 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: like they're falling apart, so they but no, it's like 803 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: therapy is just good in general, and wonder what phase 804 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: relationship is in. It's setting yourself up because when you 805 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: would make an investment and you put in the time 806 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,919 Speaker 1: and effort, it's like meditation or exercise. It's like, yeah, 807 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,919 Speaker 1: I gotta get that d girl. Oh did you say see? 808 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? I thought, okay anyway, Yeah, so you're setting 809 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: yourself up for success. You're making the best investment into yourself. 810 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 1: So that's that's great advice, Catherine. So like, yeah, I 811 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: know that pre marital counseling that has a religious undertone 812 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: to me, but you could also do that without having 813 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: to have a religious undertone, because you know how I 814 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: feel about religion anyway. So what do we have going 815 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: on now? All right? We have a very Canadian email 816 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: next and it is a little long, but worth it, 817 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: she says, Dear Chelsea. Seven years ago, I met a 818 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: man who was twenty three years older than me. We 819 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: hit it off right away and quickly became marf to 820 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 1: this term, but friends with benefits. We lived in different 821 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: provinces where Canadian, and even though we met in Ontario, 822 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: where I'm from, our relationship grew when I moved to 823 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: Nova Scotia. Fast forward and we have been on and 824 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: off for seven years. My family does not approve at 825 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: all because of the age gap, but now I love 826 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: him more than I could ever imagine loving a man. 827 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: We never yell or fight with each other. We're so 828 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: supportive of each other, we have healthy social lives outside 829 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: of one another, and most importantly, we make each other 830 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: so happy. In twenty teen, he broke up with me, 831 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 1: and I was devastated. Come to find out, the reason 832 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: he broke up with me was because he knew that 833 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 1: the reason my sister had cut me out of her 834 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: life was because of my relationship with him. We secretly 835 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: got back together at the end of then COVID hit 836 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: the Atlantic bubble made it impossible for us to see 837 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: each other, So after sixteen months apart, we finally got 838 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: to see each other again, just as we expected. We 839 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: love each other more than ever, and now I'm faced 840 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: with the reality that if my relationship can move any further, 841 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: I have to talk to my family. I'm sorry this 842 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: was so long. I'm also Canadian, though, so I have 843 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: a hard time not apologizing in general. How can I 844 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: be with the man I love and stop my family 845 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 1: from disowning me once again? Thank you in advance A 846 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: anonymous Canadian. A. Wow, that's a doozy. I feel like 847 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: we need the whole story about why her family is 848 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,919 Speaker 1: so against him. Well, the age thing, but I need 849 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: the story of like how old is she? Just why 850 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: I make sure I advice is legal? Yeah, well, right, right, exactly, Well, 851 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: she's they probably started carrying on before she was when 852 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: she was a little bit younger. But this is a 853 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: complete speculation. Could be that it could be, but I 854 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: would say, regardless, if it stood the test of time, 855 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 1: this relationship has taken what it's been over the course 856 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: of four or five years, yes, seven seven years. Seven 857 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: years is a long time, no fling, no, and you've 858 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: broken up And the fact that he broke up with 859 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: you because your family wasn't speaking to you, is I 860 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: like that That's something good. That's that's really really sweet 861 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: and sad at the same time and sad, but I mean, 862 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: I know we're not getting the full picture about why 863 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: your family doesn't like him. Obviously the age difference would 864 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: freak them out. But at a certain point, I think 865 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: it would be beneficial for you to sit down with 866 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: your family and possibly with him, so you guys can 867 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: have an open, honest conversation about how you feel about 868 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: him and that you have broken up and that you 869 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: guys always find your way back to each other. And 870 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: while the age difference may make them uncomfortable. This is 871 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: your life, this makes you happy, and there's no reason 872 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: for your family to cut you off because of your 873 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: choices in a partner for three years. Yeah, that's a 874 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 1: big age difference, but that's your choice. You're an adult. 875 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're legal. I feel like this whole thing 876 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 1: is just me quoting my therapist. I'm so sorry. I'll 877 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: give you a credit. I'll pay you extra next time. 878 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: But I think there's certain rules. Amazing, I think there's 879 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: certain rules. What are the family rules and what are 880 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: the anonymous Canadian rules? You know? I think this is 881 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: verily similar to when people disown their kids for dating 882 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: someone of the same sex, Whether person is older, person 883 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: doesn't know. There's so many reasons why families decide I 884 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: don't approve of that person, and so now I'm going 885 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: to cut you off. You need to decide which of 886 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: those rules you abide by, in which you don't. If 887 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: the person doesn't treat you well and your family cut 888 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 1: you off, I can understand that if the person cheated 889 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: on you and wasn't faithful to you, I could understand 890 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: that we're cheer telling us that the person treats you amazing, 891 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: makes you happy, understands you. Those are all rules that 892 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: you should abide by, and I think that's where you 893 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: have to decide. Like, no, the rule is that if 894 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm being treated right, I will be with this person. 895 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: Make every effort to make your family understand. But you 896 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: don't have to abide by the rules your family has 897 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: about what they accept about the person, right. There's a 898 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: distinction there, And I'm also gonna say family therapy as well. 899 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: Family therapy goes a long way with getting people on 900 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: the same page. But I have a feeling that if 901 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: you broke up with this person for your family would 902 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: eat you inside for a long time, because you're not 903 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: spending the rest of your life living with your sister. 904 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: You spend the rest of your life living with a partner, right, 905 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: And so there's a big difference there. And as long 906 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: as there's not like any abuse going on or any 907 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: like drug use going on that is making your family 908 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: feel unsafe. If those are issues that are present in 909 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: the relationship, then you have to be accountable for that 910 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: and in respect the fact that your family is worried 911 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 1: about you in that way. But if those aren't issues, 912 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: then yeah, people waste so much time in life holding 913 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: grudges or being angry at their own family members, and 914 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: it's just such a waste of time. I mean, we're 915 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 1: sucking here once. You know, no matter what you believe in, 916 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you believe in reincarnation, maybe you think 917 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 1: you're coming back, but not as the same person. So 918 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: you've got to make it count and you've got to 919 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: exhaust all efforts. But I agree, love can be stronger 920 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: than family sometimes, and so we're saying that you should 921 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 1: try to make it work with your family while you're 922 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: with the guy, and if they can't handle that, then 923 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: you know that is their loss. Again going back to 924 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: if he treats you right and if there's no other 925 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: factors there. But I think, yeah, it's not right for 926 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: any family to say, oh, this makes my sister really happy, 927 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: but I'm going to have a problem with it. That's 928 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: let me Your sister needs to figure out and needs 929 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: to work on. Yeah, swing out sister. Anyway, So keep 930 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: us posted anonymous, let us know Canadian a And then 931 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 1: that you said provinces, who I love provinces.

So rather than just saying advice from Chelsea, 966 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,760 Speaker 1: tell me what your advice that you need is about. 967 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: Also being really specific in your email.

Is very different 971 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: than my boyfriend is no good in bed? Should I 972 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 1: leave him? So what's your real question?

I 978 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: think they're both valid. It's just does she want to 979 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: leave them or does she want to stick with them? Right? Right? 980 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,959 Speaker 1: Bedroom situation? Yeah.

But I'm happy 992 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: to talk about light problems too, because that's a nice 993 00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: way to keep things light sometimes and we can actually 994 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: really help.

I want this advice specifically from you, 1073 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,439 Speaker 1: because when I think of Chelsea, I think of someone 1074 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 1: who's just so unapologetic, doesn't care about the rules, paves 1075 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 1: her own path, and does what serves her best. I 1076 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: try to be like that, but every once in a while, 1077 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: I have to think, what would Chelsea do? So I 1078 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: turned thirty three, which I'm going to obviously say, I 1079 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 1: feel so old.

I'm now the old 1086 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: woman of color in this industry, trying to make it Like. 1087 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 1: I read scripts now and they have a story about 1088 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: an old woman and she's twenty eight in the script 1089 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, ah, how do I get over this?

So 1095 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: the age I am, the age you're at is when 1096 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 1: I hit my big everyone knew about me, so that 1097 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: was when I started. So, first of all, you're a 1098 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 1: person of color, You're fine. People are going to be 1099 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: catering to you for a long time.

The only you know 1103 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: that kind of talk to yourself. Every time you have 1104 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 1: that thought to yourself, you have to flip it and 1105 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 1: you have to go, oh my god, what am I 1106 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: going to do next? It's just what you were talking 1107 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: about earlier, about how you get into a job and 1108 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: you think that you're gonna be doing that for the 1109 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,839 Speaker 1: rest of your life, whether it's late night, whether it's 1110 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: your YouTube, whatever it is.

And there's nothing wrong with aging. 1116 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 1: Aging is is an attraction for so many people. You know, 1117 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: you're a role model, Like I'm forty six. Listen, I've 1118 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: never looked better than I do now.
