We're good, We're good, and so Catrise. I 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: don't think he's ever pulled a card, but today we 20 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: made her shuffle them and pulled pull a card. I 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: pulled one, which was really scary. Apparently it was the 22 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: double card. I hadn't touched the deck. She was like, no, no, 23 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: no time, let me put my mad And so we're 24 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 2: going to read two card polls today. She pulled the 25 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: Sun card. 26 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: So first the Devil card. I think sometimes we pull 27 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: cards and we have a misconception of what they mean. 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Just like in life, things happen, they seem bad, they 29 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: seem like maybe a world's going to end, but oftentimes 30 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: there's underlying messages. So let's see what the underlying messages 31 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: with the devil today, because I'm sure there's some good 32 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: in the devil. The devil card represents your shadow or 33 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: darker self and the negative forces that can strain you 34 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: and hold you back from being the best version of yourself. 35 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: You may be at the effect of negative habits, dependencies, behaviors, 36 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: thought patterns, relationships, and addictions. You have found yourself trapped 37 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: between the short term pleasure you receive and the longer 38 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: term pain you experience. 39 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: Ooh, this does not sound enourging at all. 40 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: Good. This is good. 41 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: This is self reflection. 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: Everybody has a shadow side, it's just we're not always 43 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: down to explore that. 44 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: And I think this is a good time. 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: The devil card often appears when you have been tricked 46 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: into thinking you have no control over your shadow self 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: or these negative forces, and that you can never break 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: free from their hold. You believe you need it and 49 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: you must have it, even if it means going against 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: what you know to be right to obtain it. 51 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: Wow, this is for me. 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: On the positive side, let's skip right down to the bottom. 53 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: The devil can also show a powerful attachment between two people, 54 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: such as a mom and her newborn or a new 55 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: romance still in this honeymoon phase. Be careful, though, because 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: with the devil card, this healthy attachment can turn into 57 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: an unhealthy codependent relationship if you lose connection with your 58 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: inner guidance or you don't protect your personal boundaries. Moms, 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: if your whole life world in existence is your motherfucking kid, 60 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: you may need to come up for air and remember 61 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: who the fuck you are. Even your child can be 62 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: a negative attachment if you don't have attachment to your 63 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: motherfucking self. 64 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: Amen. 65 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: The devil can also represent sexuality in your wild side. 66 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: You may be exploring bondage fetishes and your deepest, darkest fantasy. 67 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: Okay, how with the BDSNA. 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: Freaky Biddy told you the Devil's not all that. If 69 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: you can do this within a safe, sacred space, it 70 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: can be very enriching experience. However, it has the potential 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: to turn into something that you may be unsafe. 72 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: For you just keep on bringing it best, end it there. 73 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: If you have some dark fantasies you want to explore 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: now the time. Well, I think this. 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: Actually is in line with the theme of the month, 76 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: which is redesigning your life and you know, at attaching 77 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: yourself to things that you know are not serving you 78 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: and comfortable on the things that you know intuitively are 79 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: for you. 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes we attach our things. I call it, well, I 81 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: think everyone calls them trauma bonds. And sometimes it long 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: term doesn't really feel good, but we're so used to 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: it being comfortable that it's almost like satanism, Like you 84 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: hurt yourself because it feels good temporarily, but long term 85 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel good. But some strange part of you 86 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: is addicted and attached to the pain because somewhere in 87 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: your lifetime and your childhood probably it's felt comfortable and familiar. 88 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: Be careful of what's familiar, because familiar alarity can definitely 89 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: be It's not equal good, and it can be perceived 90 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: as comfortable and it's not good. 91 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: Do you know my therapist told me what she told 92 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: me because I was like, why do I always choose 93 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 3: the bad guy? Why am I? And she said, or 94 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 3: like a relationship where we're like fussing all the time, 95 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: and it's like why And she said, what did you 96 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: see growing up? Because whatever you saw growing up, even 97 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 3: if it was just like if you watch TV all 98 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: the time, good TV, there's arguing, there's this and that, 99 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 3: or you know your parents or whatever, that's what you 100 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: associate with love. So when a good guy comes along 101 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: who you're not arguing or fighting with, you feel like 102 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: this isn't love, This isn't real. So that's what I'm 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: working on in therapy. 104 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: I literally just had this conversation before we started. I 105 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: was like, I'm being triggered by my parents. But I'm 106 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: thirty three years old. They're fighting, so it's affecting me. 107 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: But it's yeah, So Curtly, that love that you're familiar with, 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, the healthy love you were supposed to see. Anyway, 109 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: onto more positive things. 110 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 2: The sun? What is the sun card? The sun?

The Sun positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality. 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 2: The sun represents success, radiance, and abundance.

People are drawn 116 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: to you because you can always see the bright side 117 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: and bring such warmth into other people's lives.

If you're going through a 120 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: difficult time, the sun brings you the message you have 121 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: been waiting for that things will get better, a lot better. 122 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: Through the challenges along your path, you discovered who you 123 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: are and why you're here.

I 176 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 3: didn't want my family to think I was just hoeing 177 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 3: out here. And then we got divorced a year and 178 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: a half later, so it was so much fun. That 179 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 3: was even a bigger scandal. So yeah, and then I 180 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: got remarried at twenty eight or twenty six, I don't know. 181 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: I don't know the time. 182 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: Well in between that time, So you were divorced in 183 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: twenty one and then you remarried at twenty eight, Like 184 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: what was like dating as a single mom and then 185 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: being that young too and being a mom? Like what 186 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: was that like? 187 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: Like? 188 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: Cause I think for us we had our kids. You know, 189 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: we're not little a lot later in life, but we were, 190 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: you know, in our later ends of twenties. Whereas when 191 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: you have a child at twenty one and you're you're 192 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: trying to date, Like, what is that like? Because I 193 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 2: know we do have some listeners that are that are 194 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: young young parents. 195 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: I think a lot before I met the person that 196 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: i'm divorcing now, before that, I was more focused on 197 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: showing my friends like I'm still here, I still got it. 198 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 3: I was the only person who had a kid, like, 199 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 3: don't worry, I'm still going out, I'm still doing this. 200 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: And in that, the only guys that I would meet 201 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 3: were basically full of shit. You know, it's from like 202 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: the club this and that or whatever. It's like why 203 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: are you doing to see yourself? But I love that shit, 204 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 3: And yeah, I think my whole focus was because everybody 205 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: made it seem like you became a mom, your life 206 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: is over. And I feel like that's just what people do. 207 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: That's what society does. It's like when you buy a car, 208 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: as soon as you drive it off the lot, it depreciates. 209 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 3: And that's how people treat people who are moms. It's 210 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 3: like the moment you're pregnant, it's like okay, oh you're pregnant, Okay, whatever, 211 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: you have the baby, and it's like, well, you're not 212 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: good anymore. You can't do this, you can't do that. 213 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: And it just always was like rules. And for me, 214 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm twenty one, Like I still want to, 215 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: you know, have fun be twenty one. So I would 216 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: say to still live your best life. Just block your 217 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 3: kids from your social media so they can't see what 218 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: you all. My kids are blocked for my stories. Really 219 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: they can see like my page, but they're like blocked, 220 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: but their friends find me. 221 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: I have to like block. Yeah. 222 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: I feel like it's none in your damn business. What's 223 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 3: on there.

Let me say that there's not, 844 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 3: but for me, I just, you know, I just feel 845 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: like I have to have my own But I lost 846 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 3: myself to motherhood and I never discovered who I was 847 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 3: because for so long in my life growing up, I 848 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 3: don't know why. My whole goal was to be married 849 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 3: and have kids. That was and there's nothing wrong with that. 850 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 3: But I feel like, once you come to that decision, 851 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 3: after exploring every single thing else about yourself to make 852 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 3: sure that there's nothing else that you really want to do, 853 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 3: I didn't do that. I just was focused on getting married, 854 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 3: having kids, getting married, having kids. So then I got 855 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 3: married the first time I had kids, and I was 856 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 3: still like, no, that wasn't right. I got to do 857 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 3: it again, you know. I went and got married and 858 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,399 Speaker 3: had another kid, and then I had my bonus kid too, 859 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 3: and I was like, there's still why because it was like, okay, 860 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 3: you got it. What the fuck do I do now? 861 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 3: And in that did I start to realize, all right, well, 862 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,439 Speaker 3: I need to figure out what the fuck I want 863 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 3: to do, what I can do. But you know, my 864 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 3: grandparents used to make us do all this crazy shit. 865 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 3: My mom used to like make us make costumes and shit, 866 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 3: my grandfather used to make us bullshit, my dad, both 867 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 3: of my parents are like geniuses. Anything they want to 868 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 3: do they could fucking do. They're most creative people in 869 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 3: the world. And I grew up not only watching them 870 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 3: do these things, but doing it with them. But never 871 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 3: did I ever think that I could do those things 872 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 3: because I'm just a mom, you know, like in my mind, 873 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,439 Speaker 3: society fucking got to me. I'm like, I'm just a mom. 874 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,359 Speaker 3: So I started like exploring all of these things, and 875 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 3: in that not only discovered who I am, but it 876 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 3: also opened up my eyes to shit that was going 877 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 3: on in my marriage. It also made me realize you 878 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 3: are a completely different person than you even thought you were, 879 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 3: and what you want and what you will accept from people. 880 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 3: But it was scary as fuck because it also is like, 881 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 3: like you were saying, or you're so comfortable in something, 882 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 3: and this is who you are and this is what 883 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 3: I've been doing and it works.

But I feel like 937 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 3: they told me, like you're cursing a lot. If you 938 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 3: want to turn this into a thing, you say a 939 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 3: lot of bad words. Your family, you know, all the 940 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 3: family follows you. And I was just like, well, this 941 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 3: is me. This isn't for them, This is for me. 942 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 3: I'm owning who I am. You know, I'm saying whatever 943 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 3: I talk on my page like I do to my friends, 944 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 3: because I feel like that's that is my truest me. 945 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent of myself with my friends, and 946 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 3: I am tired of people painting narratives of me and 947 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 3: who I am and what I do and you know whatever, 948 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 3: and so I just took controls. So the first step 949 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 3: is absolutely just not caring, and it's the hardest thing 950 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 3: to do, but once you do it, and once you 951 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 3: really get into it of like really not fucking caring 952 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 3: what anybody thinks. I mean, don't just put your kouchi 953 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,879 Speaker 3: out there on you know, on your I mean, if 954 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 3: you want to. But it's like once you do it, 955 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 3: it's so empowering and it's so like freeing, Like you 956 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 3: just don't realize how much of your life you like 957 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 3: based around everybody else's opinions. And then once you let 958 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 3: that go, then you've given yourself the freedom to what 959 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 3: do I like? What do I want to do? And 960 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 3: it feels like when you're a teenager and you first 961 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 3: get your license and like your car and you're like, 962 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 3: all right, now where am I going to go? You're 963 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: like so excited because you're not held down by what 964 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 3: society tells you to do or what you think your 965 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 3: family is going to think. And now my family. You know, 966 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 3: I went from the middle child that got on everybody's 967 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 3: nurves to I think I'm going to say I'm the 968 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 3: most impressive, but my personality is it's coming through. And 969 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. My sisters are gonna be like, yeah, 970 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 3: cut down, you're so annoying. 971 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, that's amazing. What a testimony to 972 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: designing your life. I think everybody there is so much 973 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: pressure to to consider everybody else's feelings and everybody else's 974 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: perspective of you and what you're supposed to be doing, 975 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: when in reality, you're supposed to be doing whatever the 976 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: fuck you want, whatever the fuck makes you feel good, 977 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: and anyone who makes you question that is not your people. 978 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: And sometimes that requires that you cut off family for 979 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: certain times for you to figure it out. And like, 980 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: you're like a fucking renaissance woman. I'm like fucking building shit, 981 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: she's cooking. 982 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 2: I know, I'm like you a wife, like you did, 983 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 2: like like she really is a renaissance woman and her hair. 984 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 1: Is perfectly trimmed and beautifully curled, thank. 985 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 2: You, And like, yeah, I think too, on top of 986 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,479 Speaker 2: the pressure that like you already feel as a woman, 987 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 2: and then become a mother, everyone has opinions and then 988 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,720 Speaker 2: you know your children, then how you're raising your children, 989 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 2: and like just all the different facets of that. And 990 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: I know, like your son he has autism, and I 991 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 2: can imagine there's a lot of judgment too about what 992 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,399 Speaker 2: you should be doing as a mother or this how 993 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 2: you should be for him, and like that's a whole 994 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 2: other realm and space where you have to be assertive 995 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 2: and be like no, So like what would you say 996 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 2: as a mother like too, Like what are the biggest 997 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 2: misconceptions about, you know, having a child with autism? Well, 998 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 2: I think one that there's like it's very taboo. People 999 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 2: moms are embarrassed. It is torture if you sit. 1000 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 3: In the house and you're like hiding your kid because 1001 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 3: I remember, Ashton is very high functioning, but he still 1002 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 3: has things. There's something called stemming where like he gets 1003 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 3: really excited, sticks his hands out and he kind of 1004 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 3: flaps them. But if you were just just see him, 1005 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 3: you wouldn't really know until you like start talking to him. 1006 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 3: He's four and a half and he still talks like 1007 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 3: he's two. But you know, once you see him with 1008 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 3: other kids, you can kind of see that something is 1009 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 3: off and if he's very excited. He also doesn't understand 1010 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 3: personal boundaries and things like that. But I remember in 1011 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 3: the beginning, so my first son is so easy. He's 1012 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 3: very independently, like it's like, it's so smart, and he 1013 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 3: would always test very high on everything. So for me, 1014 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, motherhood is a piece of fucking cake. 1015 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 3: And he was the first like grandchild, nephew, so everybody 1016 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 3: was like, oh, let me babysit, let me watch. I 1017 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 3: was like, oh, this shit is easy, okay. But the 1018 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 3: second one humbled the shit out of me because at 1019 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 3: first I was like, God, I'm not patient. I don't 1020 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 3: that's why. Yeah, I was, And that's what I've learned now. 1021 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 3: It's like, I'm really very short tempered. I'm very like impatient. 1022 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 3: I'm always moving. Things have to fit on my schedule, 1023 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,879 Speaker 3: my plan, or I will fucking lose it. And it's 1024 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 3: just you can't do that with the you know, a 1025 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 3: kid who has autism. And I literally had to not 1026 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 3: only change my whole life around, but change my mindset. 1027 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 3: And I realized that I'm telling people, you know, don't 1028 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 3: give a fuck about what people think, and blah blah blah, 1029 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,320 Speaker 3: and I was doing that with myself, but with Ashton, 1030 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 3: I was still was like hiding it. And so when 1031 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 3: I found out I think it's one in every four kids. 1032 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 3: Now it's diagnosed with thoughts M I'm like, so, why 1033 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 3: the fuck am I hiding this? Because there's clearly other 1034 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 3: moms hiding this too, And like I said, it can 1035 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 3: be you know, you can feel embarrassed and you know, 1036 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 3: and then like going to the playground is like a 1037 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 3: whole thing. When he goes with his brothers, they stay 1038 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 3: right with him because they are very protective. They don't 1039 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 3: want anybody. But if it's just me and him, I'm like, 1040 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 3: oh god. One time this little girls were like in 1041 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,239 Speaker 3: this little area and he starts walking up to him 1042 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 3: and they're like boys only, and he went and sat down, 1043 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 3: like what, So he's like they're like playing, so they're 1044 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 3: running from him and he thinks that they're just running 1045 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 3: and he's like laughing, and I'm watching, like, oh God, 1046 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 3: do I jump in? Because you also don't want to 1047 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 3: be a helicopter mom. I'm not going to be there 1048 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 3: for him forever. I don't want to kids no matter 1049 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 3: what is going on, you can't hold their hand for 1050 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 3: their entire lives. So this is what I believe, you know, 1051 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 3: is that you have to kind of let them go 1052 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 3: out and experience the world because this is you know, 1053 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 3: that that's the world. And I feel like if people 1054 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 3: would start talking more about their kids with autism or putting, 1055 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 3: you know, showing it so that you can normalize it, 1056 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 3: so that other parents can see and learn to be 1057 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 3: more sympathetic about it, be more accepting, I feel like 1058 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 3: just generally you should talk to your kids about children 1059 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 3: with disabilities. And it has definitely even with me, you know, 1060 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,720 Speaker 3: it's made me think about kids I was in school 1061 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 3: with growing up that I'm like, oh, they were probably 1062 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 3: autistic and people would call them like the weird kid, 1063 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 3: or you know, it would be the one person or 1064 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 3: the booger boy or booger girl or whatever, and it's 1065 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 3: like fuck, damn, you feel really fucked up or like 1066 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,799 Speaker 3: how and it's like, no, they probably couldn't even control it. 1067 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 3: But what I would say to any moms that do 1068 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 3: have children on the spectrum or in general, and I've 1069 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 3: never been a person who was like into like taking 1070 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 3: vitamins and supplements and this and that and looking at 1071 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 3: what you eat or whatever. Because I mean my oldest 1072 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,919 Speaker 3: to that they get Dorito's and fucking any fucking thing. 1073 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 3: It doesn't need to be organic, it doesn't need to 1074 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 3: be this and that. Then I had this one after 1075 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 3: doing my own research, which you have to do because unfortunately, 1076 00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 3: pediatricians will just put your kid in a box. It 1077 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: wasn't until I got involved and started doing research and 1078 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 3: figuring out you have to try shit that the pediatricians 1079 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 3: sometimes will tell you not to do. And I'm like, 1080 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I feel like this is you know, 1081 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 3: as far as like supplements and vitamins. And within that 1082 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 3: year with COVID, I took him from being nonverbal to 1083 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 3: he could then recognize like set or in say seventy 1084 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 3: two different animal names and recognize everybody to point people out. 1085 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 3: And now I mean he's talking like shit, you know, 1086 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 3: and it's like these are things that the doctor said 1087 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 3: he wasn't as high on the spectrum, you know, or 1088 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 3: high functioning. All of these things. Now every time they 1089 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 3: see them, they're like, what are you doing? And then 1090 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 3: I go and say, well that changed his diet or 1091 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 3: added supplements and they're like, well, no, it's not There's 1092 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,720 Speaker 3: been studies this show. I wouldn't know. I'm a doctor. 1093 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I respect what you're saying, but I'm 1094 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 3: a mother. I'm a mother, okay, and I've been doing 1095 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 3: this and I've been seeing so much growth and you 1096 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,760 Speaker 3: know whatever, so you can't go fuck yourself. 1097 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 2: But whatever. 1098 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 3: I'm only here so that you know he's okay. Everything 1099 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,440 Speaker 3: else is okay. But autism, I know. I got that 1100 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,880 Speaker 3: in the bag. But it's fucking hard. 1101 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,399 Speaker 2: It really is what kind of supplements or what kind 1102 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 2: of research did you find when you really, like so 1103 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 2: your body naturally, like your liver and stuff flushes out 1104 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: toxins and metals. 1105 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 3: That's what it's there for. And some people theirs does 1106 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 3: not work that well. Their body doesn't really flesh out 1107 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 3: metals and toxins. So I heard about this from another 1108 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 3: mom whose son had autism, and she was saying she 1109 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 3: got him tested for metals, and then there's this whole 1110 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,439 Speaker 3: thing called like klation where you give them like this. 1111 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 3: It was like this crazy thing. It wasn't crazy because 1112 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 3: it worked for her, but for me, it just didn't work. 1113 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 3: And it was like every other weekend for four days, 1114 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 3: every three hours, even in the middle of the night, 1115 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,959 Speaker 3: you give them this supplement, this starts to like take 1116 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 3: out the metals. So Ashton took his test and his 1117 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 3: metals were very high in aluminum and mercury. And I 1118 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 3: was like, there's got to be a better fucking way. 1119 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be able to wake up every three hours. 1120 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 3: It's going to fucking my nerves. IM gonna be a 1121 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 3: bitch because I'm not gonna have no sleep, Like, no, 1122 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 3: that's not gonna work. And so someone of my followers, 1123 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 3: which that's the part of being vulnerable that's beneficial. I 1124 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 3: was talking about how ash And had autism. I was 1125 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 3: trying to find stuff and they recommended these drops. I 1126 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 3: think it's called bio ray, and I just put it 1127 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 3: in his juice and they have all different ones, like 1128 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 3: for like calm focus. Think it's like belly which is 1129 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 3: like probiotics and all this stuff. So on top of 1130 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 3: the other supplements I was giving him, Like I didn't 1131 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 3: know that magnesium helps the commune. I didn't fucking know that. 1132 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:49,799 Speaker 3: I knew you need to take it, but I didn't 1133 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 3: know why. So if he's acting like a complete crackhead 1134 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 3: for the next couple of days, I'm gonna up how 1135 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 3: much magnesium I give them, and it helps to kind 1136 00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,040 Speaker 3: of bring him down. Also, if he gets gluten and 1137 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 3: I have him on a gluten free diet, I know 1138 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 3: because he's acting like a crackhead, So then I give 1139 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 3: him more probiotics to kind of get that out of 1140 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 3: his system. And I think taking charge of that aspect 1141 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 3: of it has changed so much, not only in him, 1142 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 3: but in myself, because now I'm looking at the shit 1143 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 3: that I'm put in my body too. I'm like, Okay, 1144 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 3: I really need to be more particular, because if a 1145 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 3: diet can really regulate his behavior as a child, maybe 1146 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 3: that's why I'm bitchy sometimes. Or maybe I'm just naturally bitchy. 1147 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, but we will put it to the 1148 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 3: test and see what happens to. 1149 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 4: Check my diet. 1150 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, should we read an advice question? Oh? 1151 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 1: Yes, we shall. We have an advice question. You know, 1152 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 1: I forgot we even had this number, but apparently she didn't. Anyway, 1153 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 1: we do have an advice question. Can you play that? 1154 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:50,399 Speaker 2: Hi? 1155 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 4: I was wanting to get some advice possibly.

However, I feel like 1159 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 4: I have this giant scarlet letter on me because when 1160 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 4: I found out I was pregnant, I was also diagnosed 1161 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 4: with her FEES and you know, the only person I've 1162 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 4: ever had to tell is my baby daddy. And now 1163 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 4: I feel super weird, like re entering the dating scene 1164 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 4: as a single mom, and I have this pretty big 1165 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 4: thing that you know, Obviously I treat it and I 1166 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 4: don't experience any symptoms with them as a system that 1167 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 4: I'm on, but it's still something that needs to be disclosed, 1168 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 4: and I don't know how exactly to do that. I 1169 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 4: think I'm just really nervous for any rejection that I 1170 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,280 Speaker 4: might get, and so I was hoping I could get 1171 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 4: some guidance from some good moms that have also made 1172 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 4: bad choices who feel my voice. 1173 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I think, you know, there's so much shame 1174 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 2: around sexually transmitted diseases, and they are so common, and 1175 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 2: you'd be surprised how many people you've probably slept with 1176 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,399 Speaker 2: with a sexually transmitted disease, and whether or not maybe 1177 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 2: you didn't get it, you know what I mean. But 1178 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,640 Speaker 2: it's especially herpes. I feel like isn't herpes like normal? 1179 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 3: Now, did you know that if you go get an 1180 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,879 Speaker 3: SCD test, if you don't specifically say herpes, they don't 1181 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 3: test you for that. 1182 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 1: No, And also because it's very common that Okay, from 1183 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 1: my understanding, it's very common that if you get a 1184 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: blood test, it may show up in your blood even 1185 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,840 Speaker 1: if you've never had any indication that you have herpes. 1186 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 1: It's just dormant, like in your blood. Just because you 1187 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: haven't had an outbreak doesn't mean necessarily that it's not 1188 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 1: laying like and if you would only know that if 1189 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: you've got a blood test, which most doctors won't just do. Now, 1190 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: unless you go get a SD test and you have 1191 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: an act of outbreak and they can like visually see 1192 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 1: it and it would still say no, then then they'll 1193 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: test you. 1194 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 2: I think some of these things there is it's a 1195 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,919 Speaker 2: hard conversation, Like it's not something that like, I don't 1196 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,399 Speaker 2: think anybody is excited to have to share. I mean, 1197 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 2: having sex with someone for the first time is already 1198 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 2: like you know, can be complicated enough then to have 1199 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 2: to you know, disclose something like that. But I think 1200 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 2: that there has to be a normalizing of it because 1201 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 2: also specifically herpes, Like I believe most herpes are. 1202 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 1: Only you can only get them if you are having 1203 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,359 Speaker 1: an outbreak. Yeah, I believe that to be true. Also, 1204 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 1: general to herpes is common in the US. More than 1205 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 1: one out of every six people aged fourteen to forty 1206 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 1: nine have general tol herpes well. 1207 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,720 Speaker 3: And she said she wanted to know from good moms 1208 00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 3: that made a bad or did. The way she said it, 1209 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,800 Speaker 3: it sounded like she thought it was a bad choice 1210 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 3: and nothing that she did was Yeah, so it was 1211 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 3: it's not like. 1212 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:55,640 Speaker 2: You didn't make a bad choice. 1213 00:55:55,640 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: You had sex, which everybody has sex, and sometimes I 1214 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: was like, you could wear a condom and probably still 1215 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 1: contract general to herpes because it's just like just the 1216 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 1: touching of skin. This happened to me. This happened to me. 1217 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 1: I was back in my lesbian life. I had a 1218 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,879 Speaker 1: girlfriend and we had been dating for like I want 1219 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 1: to say, like three months, and she we were in 1220 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: the bed one night and she reached over and she 1221 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:22,760 Speaker 1: was like shaking. 1222 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 2: I was like, she's like, I have to tell you something. 1223 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 1: I'm like what, And she was like she told me 1224 00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,799 Speaker 1: that she had herpes, and that she didn't tell me 1225 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: she was afraid to tell me, and she she knows 1226 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,320 Speaker 1: where she got it from her ex girlfriend. 1227 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 2: She takes medicine. 1228 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 1: She doesn't really have to, like she doesn't like she 1229 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: it only is a thing if she's having a breakout. 1230 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 1: She explained it to me, and I like, she was 1231 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 1: like in the other day, I was, I was messling 1232 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 1: in the shower, like washing my hair, and I was like, 1233 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: if I had STD, I would kill myself or something 1234 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: like I said the word crazy and I was like, 1235 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: oh no, I feel she's like I just left her, 1236 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,239 Speaker 1: went to the store, but I had to tell you. 1237 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,440 Speaker 2: And like I wasn't pissed. 1238 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 1: I didn't work up with her, Like I didn't contract 1239 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: herpes and everything was fine, you know.
