WEBVTT - Boundaries, Bodies & Busting Out The Weights (Couch Talks)

0:00:00.050 --> 0:00:02.050
<v Speaker 1>While we hope couch talks can be a tool that

0:00:02.110 --> 0:00:04.850
<v Speaker 1>helps and supports wherever you are in life, couch talks

0:00:04.910 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>does not serve as a replacement or substitute for therapy

0:00:08.130 --> 0:00:15.630
<v Speaker 1>or any mental health services. One, two, three. If you

0:00:15.730 --> 0:00:19.030
<v Speaker 1>ever have feelings that you just want some, Amy and

0:00:19.070 --> 0:00:23.150
<v Speaker 1>Kat got you covered like an arm, brother. Ladies and fellas,

0:00:23.610 --> 0:00:25.950
<v Speaker 1>we just follow in the spirit where it's on us.

0:00:26.070 --> 0:00:29.190
<v Speaker 2>From the real stuff to the chill stuff.

0:00:29.270 --> 0:00:31.190
<v Speaker 3>And the in-between.

0:00:31.250 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes the best thing you can do is just.

0:00:33.729 --> 0:00:36.900
<v Speaker 2>Stop and feel things.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.340
<v Speaker 1>This is Feeling Things with Amy and Kat.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.980
<v Speaker 2>Happy Thursday. Welcome to Couch Talks, our Q &amp; A

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>episode to the Feeling Things podcast. I'm Amy.

0:00:45.340 --> 0:00:45.979
<v Speaker 1>And I'm Kat.

0:00:46.300 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 2>And we're starting off with some voicemails. We got multiple,

0:00:50.780 --> 0:00:53.460
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and I picked a couple to play

0:00:53.880 --> 0:01:00.260
<v Speaker 2>regarding Kat's husband, Patrick, calling his dad, Daddy. Now, let

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>me say, I was taken aback. I was left speechless

0:01:06.980 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>when I learned he still says Daddy. And I have

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:16.820
<v Speaker 2>cousins that say Diddy. Like my cousins from Alabama say Mama, Diddy.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:23.270
<v Speaker 2>But it's not Diddy. He says Daddy. Like it's not that.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.370
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, I feel like I wanted to be clear

0:01:27.410 --> 0:01:31.590
<v Speaker 2>about that, that I know some people do the Diddy thing.

0:01:32.230 --> 0:01:36.709
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot of comments on social media saying

0:01:36.750 --> 0:01:38.470
<v Speaker 1>it's a Southern thing. It's a Southern thing.

0:01:38.490 --> 0:01:38.809
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:01:38.850 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 2>The Southern thing is Diddy. Mama, daddy. Patrick's just like,

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>that's my daddy. Patrick's like, why'd you, why'd you change

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the game? I call my dad, daddy. I call my daddy, daddy.

0:01:53.060 --> 0:01:57.220
<v Speaker 2>So we, we, we got some voicemails and they're really cute.

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.610
<v Speaker 2>This first one is from Henry. Yeah. I wish we

0:02:01.620 --> 0:02:04.490
<v Speaker 2>could read everybody's email and comment and play every voicemail

0:02:04.510 --> 0:02:07.150
<v Speaker 2>regarding the daddy, but we just picked a few. Here's

0:02:07.170 --> 0:02:07.630
<v Speaker 2>the first one.

0:02:09.630 --> 0:02:12.150
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I just listened to the podcast. I think it

0:02:12.169 --> 0:02:16.970
<v Speaker 3>was from yesterday where you discussed Patrick calling his dad, daddy.

0:02:17.270 --> 0:02:20.370
<v Speaker 3>I just have to say, Kat, if that didn't cause

0:02:20.410 --> 0:02:23.310
<v Speaker 3>you to have the ick, Patrick can do anything he

0:02:23.350 --> 0:02:26.580
<v Speaker 3>wants because you'll never have the ick about Patrick. I

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 3>guess that says you'll love him a lot.

0:02:29.020 --> 0:02:29.380
<v Speaker 4>Bye.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's how I feel. I, Anne-Marie, thank you for

0:02:35.740 --> 0:02:39.870
<v Speaker 2>that voicemail. It's like Patrick can do anything.

0:02:40.050 --> 0:02:43.369
<v Speaker 1>Well, I also don't know when I found that out

0:02:43.430 --> 0:02:46.810
<v Speaker 1>in our relationship. So I think I was already in,

0:02:47.110 --> 0:02:47.410
<v Speaker 1>you know?

0:02:47.430 --> 0:02:50.470
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you'd already fallen in love? Yeah. And then you, yeah.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.140
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he like told me that first couple dates.

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.980
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I wish I could remember the moment

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what? You said, you called him what? So.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.540
<v Speaker 1>She's right, but I wonder if I heard that on

0:03:03.780 --> 0:03:05.430
<v Speaker 1>the first couple of dates, if I was like, this

0:03:05.500 --> 0:03:06.090
<v Speaker 1>is odd.

0:03:08.550 --> 0:03:12.790
<v Speaker 2>This next one is from Nina, also about Nettie.

0:03:16.010 --> 0:03:20.510
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Amy and Kat. My name is Nina. I'm 27.

0:03:20.510 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Huge fan of you guys. I live in Maryland. My

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.260
<v Speaker 4>feeling of the day is validated today. Because I am

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 4>in the middle of listening to your podcast about Patrick

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:38.220
<v Speaker 4>calling his dad daddy. And I am beside myself because

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:44.020
<v Speaker 4>as a, you know, pretty grown-ish adult woman, I too

0:03:44.060 --> 0:03:48.420
<v Speaker 4>still call my dad daddy and my mom mommy. And

0:03:48.460 --> 0:03:50.540
<v Speaker 4>so I just feel really seen. So thank you for

0:03:50.580 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 4>sharing that. Because I hold a lot of, like, maybe insecurity,

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 4>weird feelings about that, that have come over, like, the past, like,

0:04:02.220 --> 0:04:06.300
<v Speaker 4>five-ish years or so where I struggle to still call

0:04:06.340 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 4>them mommy and daddy. But I feel like I'm so

0:04:09.940 --> 0:04:12.300
<v Speaker 4>far into it at this point that if I were

0:04:12.380 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 4>to just randomly call them mom and dad, they would

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:20.950
<v Speaker 4>be distraught or heartbroken. So I have a suggestion for Patrick.

0:04:21.290 --> 0:04:23.510
<v Speaker 4>And first of all, I love that he owns it.

0:04:23.750 --> 0:04:28.570
<v Speaker 4>Good for him. He seems like an amazing man. At

0:04:28.610 --> 0:04:32.650
<v Speaker 4>least with my mom, I haven't gotten around really how

0:04:32.710 --> 0:04:36.419
<v Speaker 4>to get away from mommy other than calling her by

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 4>her name, Terry, which I think is disrespectful. So I

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.860
<v Speaker 4>try not to do that. So I think I'm stuck

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 4>with mommy forever. However, with my dad, I have kind

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:51.100
<v Speaker 4>of morphed daddy into daddy-o so it's d-a-b-d-i-o so I

0:04:51.140 --> 0:04:54.950
<v Speaker 4>have daddy-o saved in my phone if I am on

0:04:54.970 --> 0:04:58.170
<v Speaker 4>the phone to my say hey daddy-o or if I'm

0:04:58.270 --> 0:05:01.910
<v Speaker 4>out in public I'll do daddy-o so I just wanted

0:05:01.970 --> 0:05:05.050
<v Speaker 4>to share that maybe that is a good compromise for

0:05:05.089 --> 0:05:07.670
<v Speaker 4>Patrick even though I don't even think he's seeking that

0:05:07.710 --> 0:05:11.010
<v Speaker 4>which I love that so yeah I just wanted to

0:05:11.060 --> 0:05:14.580
<v Speaker 4>share that you guys are amazing I love listening to

0:05:14.620 --> 0:05:17.340
<v Speaker 4>you two and I really feel like you're my besties

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.810
<v Speaker 4>that I listen in every week. And yeah, I adore you.

0:05:22.110 --> 0:05:25.210
<v Speaker 4>And you are just the best. Thanks for what you do.

0:05:25.630 --> 0:05:28.969
<v Speaker 4>And I hope you have the day you need to have. Bye.

0:05:29.410 --> 0:05:31.830
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Nina, for that. I love that she gave

0:05:31.870 --> 0:05:34.150
<v Speaker 2>us a feeling of the day as well. We do

0:05:34.170 --> 0:05:37.070
<v Speaker 2>that at the top of every Feeling Things episode. So

0:05:37.089 --> 0:05:39.570
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of fun to have a feeling brought into

0:05:39.610 --> 0:05:44.420
<v Speaker 2>Couch Talks. And I love that Patrick helped her feel validated.

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.950
<v Speaker 2>And what why doesn't she go mami-o.

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Is that an option i've never heard that before but

0:05:53.580 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>i think it's hilarious she's like here's a suggestion for

0:05:55.980 --> 0:05:57.900
<v Speaker 1>patrick and then she's like wait actually he's not asking

0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>for that he's fine.

0:05:59.220 --> 0:06:04.460
<v Speaker 2>Calling it he is 100 he's committed secure yeah and

0:06:04.500 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>his daddy.

0:06:05.820 --> 0:06:09.350
<v Speaker 1>Yeah uh she could try mami-o It's.

0:06:09.290 --> 0:06:12.270
<v Speaker 2>Her mommy-o, daddy-o. That's cute though. Hey, daddy-o. And she

0:06:12.290 --> 0:06:14.250
<v Speaker 2>has him saved in the phone as daddy-o. So that

0:06:14.310 --> 0:06:16.650
<v Speaker 2>is a good comment. But yeah, the mom part is hard.

0:06:18.190 --> 0:06:21.529
<v Speaker 2>You definitely could never call my mom by her first name.

0:06:22.470 --> 0:06:23.570
<v Speaker 2>That would feel weird.

0:06:24.170 --> 0:06:25.890
<v Speaker 1>I don't call my mom by her first name anymore,

0:06:25.980 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 1>but we've started calling.

0:06:27.060 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean anymore? Did you used to?

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Anymore.

0:06:29.140 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I didn't mean to say that. I've

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.300
<v Speaker 1>given her other nicknames and now we all call her

0:06:36.380 --> 0:06:41.690
<v Speaker 1>by her grandma nickname. So I rarely say mom. I

0:06:41.730 --> 0:06:43.930
<v Speaker 1>call her Juju because that's what all the grandkids call her.

0:06:44.370 --> 0:06:47.090
<v Speaker 2>That's a good point. When my mom became a grandma

0:06:47.570 --> 0:06:49.409
<v Speaker 2>and my sister's kids were calling her Marmee.

0:06:49.430 --> 0:06:50.799
<v Speaker 1>Did you start calling her that?

0:06:50.980 --> 0:06:54.979
<v Speaker 2>I guess depending– I probably did call her Marmee a lot,

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>especially if I was around my sister or the kids.

0:06:58.220 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>But I guess in my phone I had her as

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.060
<v Speaker 2>mom and if I called her, I would be like, hey, mom. Yeah.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. If you had your kids at that point.

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.310
<v Speaker 2>They would have called her Marmee.

0:07:09.410 --> 0:07:11.070
<v Speaker 1>Then you might have started to call her.

0:07:11.310 --> 0:07:11.950
<v Speaker 2>Marmee Moore.

0:07:12.250 --> 0:07:12.470
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:07:12.790 --> 0:07:18.370
<v Speaker 2>That's probably true for sure. Like, yeah, this. It struck

0:07:18.410 --> 0:07:21.790
<v Speaker 2>a chord. We had another voicemail from someone. I can't

0:07:21.830 --> 0:07:23.900
<v Speaker 2>like she she was pretty adamant.

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>She was in her 50s.

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>She was like, and I'm going to say mom or

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say daddy till I'm 80.

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, Patrick's mom calls her. Dad, who's in his 90s. Daddy.

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.940
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I feel like when you hit 90, it's

0:07:39.060 --> 0:07:48.700
<v Speaker 2>cute again. Okay. And I did see Patrick's mom comment

0:07:48.740 --> 0:07:52.330
<v Speaker 2>on the social post, and I thought, oh, no. She goes, well,

0:07:52.370 --> 0:07:57.230
<v Speaker 2>you can blame me. And I thought, oh, no, I

0:07:57.250 --> 0:07:59.190
<v Speaker 2>didn't mean to offend anybody at all.

0:07:59.290 --> 0:08:00.410
<v Speaker 1>I think she was complaining.

0:08:00.490 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, she didn't take it personally or anything. We do

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.489
<v Speaker 2>have an email from Jasmine who's 46 from Massachusetts. Love

0:08:09.500 --> 0:08:11.910
<v Speaker 2>when we've got a good range. We had a 27-year-old

0:08:11.950 --> 0:08:15.510
<v Speaker 2>voicemail into a 46-year-old email. Kat and I had a

0:08:15.550 --> 0:08:18.890
<v Speaker 2>meeting about our podcast the other day and they were like,

0:08:18.930 --> 0:08:23.970
<v Speaker 2>so like what's the range of people or the target audience?

0:08:24.050 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>And we're like, well, our data shows we try to

0:08:28.820 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 2>collect information in emails and we can see emails from

0:08:32.900 --> 0:08:38.490
<v Speaker 2>20-year-olds to like 70 year olds. So then in the deck,

0:08:40.450 --> 0:08:45.489
<v Speaker 2>the slide presentation, it was like anyone from 20 to 70.

0:08:45.490 --> 0:08:49.809
<v Speaker 2>And we're like, that just feels like a really wide range.

0:08:49.870 --> 0:08:52.550
<v Speaker 2>And we probably could narrow it down to like, you know,

0:08:52.910 --> 0:08:58.860
<v Speaker 2>forties ish, something in between 20 and 70. But it's true.

0:08:59.059 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>It was funny. The way she said it was like,

0:09:02.380 --> 0:09:06.530
<v Speaker 1>I see your, uh, population is from 20 to 70.

0:09:06.530 --> 0:09:10.730
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct? We know what you're thinking.

0:09:12.070 --> 0:09:17.089
<v Speaker 2>We are for everybody. And we're also not for some people.

0:09:17.230 --> 0:09:21.110
<v Speaker 2>That is for sure. Jasmine, who's 46, I wrote in

0:09:21.130 --> 0:09:26.270
<v Speaker 2>from Massachusetts, an email about my workouts. And I feel

0:09:26.290 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>like that will be hard to explain, but I'll read

0:09:30.010 --> 0:09:31.939
<v Speaker 2>the email and then we can discuss. Hey, Amy, I

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.220
<v Speaker 2>was wondering if you could share more about your weight training.

0:09:34.340 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd love any tips, the type, brand, size of weights

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.650
<v Speaker 2>you bought, exercises you're following. Really anything would be so

0:09:40.710 --> 0:09:43.809
<v Speaker 2>helpful as it feels super overwhelming and hard to find

0:09:43.850 --> 0:09:46.970
<v Speaker 2>a starting point. So I just push it to another day.

0:09:46.990 --> 0:09:49.370
<v Speaker 2>I know you're not a doctor or a personal trainer.

0:09:49.690 --> 0:09:53.070
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for recognizing that. So I'm not sure how

0:09:53.170 --> 0:09:55.589
<v Speaker 2>comfortable you are with talking about this on the podcast.

0:09:55.950 --> 0:09:57.969
<v Speaker 2>I'd appreciate anything you're willing to share with me in

0:09:58.670 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>an email if that's the case. thank you. Your friend Jasmine.

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:02.780
<v Speaker 2>And then she goes, hi Kat.

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.700
<v Speaker 4>Hi. Okay.

0:10:05.090 --> 0:10:10.209
<v Speaker 2>Jasmine, because I'm not a personal trainer or anything, I

0:10:10.270 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>do feel weird about sharing things. I can say With

0:10:16.550 --> 0:10:19.220
<v Speaker 2>a lot of certainty, and I don't need credentials to

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.020
<v Speaker 2>say this, that I am obsessed with the adjustable dumbbells.

0:10:24.500 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't know these really existed until like a

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>month or a month and a half ago whenever I

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:31.079
<v Speaker 2>got them.

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:32.620
<v Speaker 1>Did you?

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:33.059
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:10:33.140 --> 0:10:35.860
<v Speaker 1>They got really big during COVID because everybody was buying

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.020
<v Speaker 1>their own workout stuff. And that is a cheaper way.

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.330
<v Speaker 2>To do it.

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.940
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. We have ones, I don't know if yours are

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.429
<v Speaker 1>like this, but you can add and take off. Is

0:10:46.450 --> 0:10:47.110
<v Speaker 1>that what yours are?

0:10:47.130 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, well, this is a Bowflex, I think is the brand.

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.780
<v Speaker 2>You drop it in. There's two dumbbells and they drop

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.220
<v Speaker 2>into this little case and then you can go click

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 2>on each side. So you have to adjust each side

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.620
<v Speaker 2>and it puts the proper amount of weight and then

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:04.180
<v Speaker 2>you pick it up.

0:11:04.330 --> 0:11:07.550
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's more... We have to like unscrew, take off.

0:11:07.590 --> 0:11:09.310
<v Speaker 2>Well, that I have heard of before.

0:11:09.410 --> 0:11:09.750
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:11:10.390 --> 0:11:12.580
<v Speaker 2>This sounds... Yeah, that I've heard of like adding your own.

0:11:12.590 --> 0:11:14.089
<v Speaker 1>Can we get this link? We'll put it in the newsletter.

0:11:14.110 --> 0:11:17.990
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will... When... I will say it was an investment.

0:11:18.110 --> 0:11:18.330
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:11:18.550 --> 0:11:20.770
<v Speaker 2>The click, click, click, click, click kind. Maybe the, if

0:11:20.809 --> 0:11:22.350
<v Speaker 2>you add them yourself, that would.

0:11:22.230 --> 0:11:24.230
<v Speaker 1>Be a good, but are expensive.

0:11:24.330 --> 0:11:26.140
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Well, I had a little bit of sticker shock,

0:11:26.300 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 2>like dang. But then I thought, well, if I went

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:41.229
<v Speaker 2>out and bought dumbbells for 10, I can do 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5. 25,

0:11:41.230 --> 0:11:44.210
<v Speaker 2>but then after 25, there's, I don't think there's 27.5.

0:11:44.210 --> 0:11:46.620
<v Speaker 2>I think after 25, it jumps 25, 30, 35, 40.

0:11:46.620 --> 0:11:47.090
<v Speaker 3>45, 50.

0:11:47.090 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 2>So yours go up to 50? So if I were

0:11:52.220 --> 0:11:55.180
<v Speaker 2>to have all those dumbbells, that would be hundreds and

0:11:55.240 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of dollars. And so the Bowflex adjustable weight is

0:12:01.380 --> 0:12:04.700
<v Speaker 2>what I got. And yeah, we can put it in

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:08.370
<v Speaker 2>an upcoming newsletter, but I just know, even for me,

0:12:08.470 --> 0:12:10.530
<v Speaker 2>I almost was like, I'm not buying this. But now

0:12:10.550 --> 0:12:12.540
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad I did because I don't have a

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>gym membership yet. But hear me out. I'm also thinking

0:12:16.059 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 2>about getting a gym membership, which I haven't had in years.

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.550
<v Speaker 1>Well, you go to Pilates, but you mean like a gym,

0:12:25.590 --> 0:12:28.790
<v Speaker 1>like a big box kind of gym that has free

0:12:28.809 --> 0:12:29.709
<v Speaker 1>weights and stuff like that.

0:12:29.970 --> 0:12:33.070
<v Speaker 2>You're correct. I've gone to yoga classes or Pilates classes.

0:12:33.690 --> 0:12:38.890
<v Speaker 2>That is girl time. I'm talking like I might go

0:12:38.950 --> 0:12:40.290
<v Speaker 2>to the gym to meet people.

0:12:40.309 --> 0:12:42.310
<v Speaker 1>It's boy time.

0:12:42.750 --> 0:12:43.070
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:12:43.890 --> 0:12:47.849
<v Speaker 2>Or something or any friends. I just think the more

0:12:47.910 --> 0:12:52.470
<v Speaker 2>I talk to people, the more they're like, maybe at

0:12:52.510 --> 0:12:56.130
<v Speaker 2>a gym because I don't go anywhere else. Where do

0:12:56.220 --> 0:12:58.540
<v Speaker 2>I go? And I have these new workouts that I

0:12:58.580 --> 0:13:01.260
<v Speaker 2>need to do. And yes, I have my adjustable dumbbells,

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 2>which those have been great. And I will say, Jasmine,

0:13:04.020 --> 0:13:06.100
<v Speaker 2>it can be overwhelming. The week that I started, I

0:13:06.140 --> 0:13:09.699
<v Speaker 2>felt like I was drinking from a fire hose where

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>like the water's just gushing out and I'm trying to

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>keep up because I was trying to take it seriously.

0:13:17.140 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 2>And I wanted to lift four days a week. I

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.020
<v Speaker 2>realized for me, that's not going to happen. So now

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.910
<v Speaker 2>I do three and I've consistently done three days a

0:13:25.950 --> 0:13:28.410
<v Speaker 2>week for several weeks now. And that's manageable for me.

0:13:28.870 --> 0:13:31.050
<v Speaker 2>And I feel good about that. I do legs one

0:13:31.070 --> 0:13:34.770
<v Speaker 2>day and the exercises are pretty basic.

0:13:34.850 --> 0:13:35.990
<v Speaker 1>Like where are you getting.

0:13:35.790 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Like, um, Well, I had someone that put the workout together,

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 2>but they're not my trainer. And then they sent me YouTube.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 2>This is the thing. Like they're not with me in

0:13:46.100 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 2>person and they're not on FaceTime, but they put together

0:13:48.820 --> 0:13:53.790
<v Speaker 2>a workout that they did link videos from YouTube on form.

0:13:54.570 --> 0:13:57.570
<v Speaker 2>So then I go, but that was what was overwhelming

0:13:57.590 --> 0:13:59.870
<v Speaker 2>because I'm on my own and I wanted to do

0:13:59.910 --> 0:14:03.250
<v Speaker 2>it properly. So I felt like my workouts were taking

0:14:03.270 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>me way longer, but then yesterday I did a workout

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.809
<v Speaker 2>and now I've got it down and the exercises aren't changing.

0:14:10.590 --> 0:14:12.210
<v Speaker 2>It's not like I'm getting a new routine. They're the

0:14:12.350 --> 0:14:15.930
<v Speaker 2>same exact workouts. All she wants me to do is

0:14:15.950 --> 0:14:18.550
<v Speaker 2>those same exact ones. And the goal is every single

0:14:18.590 --> 0:14:20.890
<v Speaker 2>week for me to go up on weight. So I'm

0:14:20.930 --> 0:14:26.790
<v Speaker 2>getting stronger. So it's not overwhelming anymore. Like it was

0:14:26.870 --> 0:14:30.390
<v Speaker 2>the first week. Cause I thought my, my exercises were

0:14:30.410 --> 0:14:33.660
<v Speaker 2>going to be changing, but that's a, Plus in this

0:14:33.740 --> 0:14:37.180
<v Speaker 2>type of working out, if you can, you know, I'm

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.340
<v Speaker 2>sure there are options on YouTube to look up basic,

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.479
<v Speaker 2>like how to work your legs. So I have a

0:14:43.580 --> 0:14:47.100
<v Speaker 2>leg day, a push day and a pull day. And

0:14:47.140 --> 0:14:48.990
<v Speaker 2>I now know what those kinds of things mean. Like

0:14:49.830 --> 0:14:55.150
<v Speaker 2>legs might be like a squat thing and you know,

0:14:55.170 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 2>like a deadlift thing. Again, I'm not a trainer. But

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>then like push and pull. So like push, that means

0:15:02.300 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>on a push day, I'm doing things like chest press

0:15:05.260 --> 0:15:09.290
<v Speaker 2>with my dumbbells or in an incline, which I don't

0:15:09.330 --> 0:15:10.470
<v Speaker 2>have an incline bench.

0:15:11.010 --> 0:15:11.870
<v Speaker 1>So I get you one.

0:15:12.310 --> 0:15:13.890
<v Speaker 2>I do need to get me one, but I feel

0:15:13.930 --> 0:15:16.090
<v Speaker 2>like I want to wait in case I join a gym.

0:15:16.190 --> 0:15:17.170
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:15:27.700 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 2>So what I've done is I've stacked up big pillows

0:15:30.820 --> 0:15:33.700
<v Speaker 2>and I've created a pillow incline and then I lift

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.780
<v Speaker 2>that way. So you kind of just figure it out

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and make do. But the moves are so basic and simple, Jasmine.

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:47.210
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm doing like, you know, overhead triceps. You know,

0:15:48.210 --> 0:15:51.290
<v Speaker 2>I go down. This would be on a pull day.

0:15:51.310 --> 0:15:54.830
<v Speaker 2>I might do like a single arm row and then

0:15:54.870 --> 0:15:57.140
<v Speaker 2>switch to the other side. And then I do like

0:15:57.350 --> 0:16:00.710
<v Speaker 2>a sit up with a dumbbell. Like it's not, that's

0:16:00.790 --> 0:16:03.710
<v Speaker 2>what's been great is I, the last time I worked

0:16:03.750 --> 0:16:06.070
<v Speaker 2>out with weights, I actually did have a trainer and

0:16:06.110 --> 0:16:07.990
<v Speaker 2>this is before COVID. I haven't worked out with the

0:16:08.010 --> 0:16:12.430
<v Speaker 2>trainer since once COVID happened, it just stopped and I

0:16:12.470 --> 0:16:15.620
<v Speaker 2>never went back, but I feel like all the moves

0:16:15.630 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 2>were sort of fancy and complicated, but that's fine. Cause

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 2>she was there to guide me. And that's, what's cool

0:16:21.740 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 2>about when you're on your own, when, what I'm learning is,

0:16:25.270 --> 0:16:27.750
<v Speaker 2>is it doesn't have to be fancy. It can be

0:16:28.670 --> 0:16:31.210
<v Speaker 2>five of the most basic moves and that's your leg day,

0:16:31.270 --> 0:16:34.350
<v Speaker 2>like boom. And calf raises, when's the last time I

0:16:34.390 --> 0:16:36.950
<v Speaker 2>did calf? I mean, I guess maybe in Pilates, we

0:16:36.990 --> 0:16:38.990
<v Speaker 2>do like little things on the bar, like cute little,

0:16:39.610 --> 0:16:42.890
<v Speaker 2>you know. But I go over to my stairs and

0:16:42.910 --> 0:16:44.710
<v Speaker 2>I hold a dumbbell and then I lift my calf

0:16:44.790 --> 0:16:48.610
<v Speaker 2>up and down 15 times. And I know this sounds

0:16:48.650 --> 0:16:51.670
<v Speaker 2>probably basic for a lot of you, but I haven't

0:16:51.690 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 2>gone back to the basics yet. And after I got

0:16:54.910 --> 0:16:59.620
<v Speaker 2>the hang of it, because you mentioned being a little overwhelmed,

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.540
<v Speaker 2>so you keep pushing it to the next day, you

0:17:01.580 --> 0:17:03.660
<v Speaker 2>just have to start and get through that first week

0:17:03.700 --> 0:17:06.180
<v Speaker 2>or two. And then you're gonna be like, I got this.

0:17:06.740 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 2>And then you won't have to watch any little videos

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.540
<v Speaker 2>for form. And you're like, bam, bam. And then you're

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.270
<v Speaker 2>gonna know, oh, actually during this rest period, I don't

0:17:14.290 --> 0:17:16.010
<v Speaker 2>need to rest. I'll do my sit-ups here now to

0:17:16.050 --> 0:17:19.590
<v Speaker 2>save time. I mean, rest is important. And that's another

0:17:19.630 --> 0:17:22.430
<v Speaker 2>thing too, in between my sets, like there's a little

0:17:22.490 --> 0:17:24.830
<v Speaker 2>timer and I Hit the button and it gives me

0:17:24.830 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 2>90 seconds and I sort of reflect on my day,

0:17:30.780 --> 0:17:35.220
<v Speaker 2>have some gratitude, think about things. Oh, Shannon found the

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.180
<v Speaker 2>exact link to the one I got. Bowflex Results Series

0:17:38.330 --> 0:17:39.649
<v Speaker 2>Select Tech Dumbbells.

0:17:40.270 --> 0:17:42.909
<v Speaker 1>There's an app that's just called Tabata.

0:17:42.930 --> 0:17:43.150
<v Speaker 2>Tabata.

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.620
<v Speaker 1>This is easy and a recommendation for anybody who's like,

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.430
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to build a workout. And you

0:17:50.450 --> 0:17:52.730
<v Speaker 1>can just program it to be like I'm going to

0:17:52.850 --> 0:17:56.790
<v Speaker 1>work out for– a Tabata is eight exercises. Each exercise

0:17:56.850 --> 0:18:02.610
<v Speaker 1>is four minutes and you do 20 seconds on or

0:18:02.609 --> 0:18:08.970
<v Speaker 1>40 seconds on, 20 seconds off. Yeah. And this app

0:18:09.020 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 1>will just time it for you and tell you when

0:18:10.660 --> 0:18:12.719
<v Speaker 1>to go, tell you when to rest, tell you when

0:18:12.740 --> 0:18:15.750
<v Speaker 1>to switch exercises. That's really easy. So if she wants

0:18:15.790 --> 0:18:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to just like you pick eight exercise, you press play

0:18:18.380 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>on this app and then you just do your workout.

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It's nice.

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:22.500
<v Speaker 1>It makes me kind of feel like I'm in a

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:27.140
<v Speaker 1>class because like the beeper is my trainer.

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.540
<v Speaker 2>Your trainer. Yeah. Telling you what to do. And I

0:18:29.580 --> 0:18:33.770
<v Speaker 2>will say the the fun part about sticking with the

0:18:33.810 --> 0:18:37.510
<v Speaker 2>same exercises for me is watching myself get stronger and

0:18:37.550 --> 0:18:40.090
<v Speaker 2>it gets exciting because I'm like and then I track.

0:18:41.290 --> 0:18:43.610
<v Speaker 2>what I do every week. Cause otherwise you'll forget. So

0:18:43.910 --> 0:18:46.350
<v Speaker 2>you got to write it down and be like, okay, I,

0:18:46.730 --> 0:18:49.970
<v Speaker 2>my chest press was, you know, I had two twenties

0:18:50.030 --> 0:18:53.470
<v Speaker 2>in each hand. So now I'm going to try one

0:18:53.490 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>more click 22.5 or whatever. Um, if that's an option,

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 2>one more click, click, click, take it up and then

0:19:01.180 --> 0:19:04.020
<v Speaker 2>push yourself. I am trying to go for 15 reps,

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>but she did tell me like, if 15 is easy,

0:19:06.900 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 2>you need to be struggling the final two. And if

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.900
<v Speaker 2>you can only get to 12, that's fine. 12 reps

0:19:10.980 --> 0:19:14.219
<v Speaker 2>is fine. She told me. Cause sometimes I'm like, Oh,

0:19:14.260 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>this is no problem. I got this all the way

0:19:15.740 --> 0:19:18.060
<v Speaker 2>to 15, all three reps. And she's like, you probably

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 2>need to go up. I'm like, okay. Noted. So Jasmine,

0:19:22.060 --> 0:19:25.060
<v Speaker 2>good luck on your journey.

0:19:25.060 --> 0:19:25.260
<v Speaker 4>46.

0:19:25.260 --> 0:19:28.659
<v Speaker 2>Hey, to those of us in our mid forties, we

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:32.220
<v Speaker 2>got to try to lift something. I don't care what

0:19:32.260 --> 0:19:35.290
<v Speaker 2>it is. We got to, Figure out how to be

0:19:35.330 --> 0:19:40.669
<v Speaker 2>working our muscles. Yeah, Tabata workout is a high-intensity interval training. Oh,

0:19:40.690 --> 0:19:41.170
<v Speaker 2>that's hit.

0:19:42.070 --> 0:19:46.450
<v Speaker 1>Well, not necessarily if you're picking– I'm not picking like

0:19:46.590 --> 0:19:51.340
<v Speaker 1>cardio tough stuff. Like it just helps regulate. It can

0:19:51.380 --> 0:19:53.679
<v Speaker 1>be hit, but to me it just regulates the workout.

0:19:53.900 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, okay.

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha. I'm not usually, well, if I did it right now,

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.619
<v Speaker 1>I'd be huffing and puffing, but a lot of times

0:20:00.859 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I can like breathe pretty easily through what I'm doing.

0:20:04.660 --> 0:20:07.290
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of cardio, that's one thing she told me she

0:20:07.310 --> 0:20:09.590
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want me to do right now. I can walk, but.

0:20:11.130 --> 0:20:12.850
<v Speaker 2>No high intensity.

0:20:12.970 --> 0:20:13.449
<v Speaker 4>Oh, walking?

0:20:16.410 --> 0:20:18.910
<v Speaker 2>You got it. You got a big old baby in there.

0:20:20.369 --> 0:20:21.710
<v Speaker 2>What fruit is she?

0:20:22.010 --> 0:20:25.850
<v Speaker 1>This week she's just not a fruit. I have some

0:20:25.890 --> 0:20:28.330
<v Speaker 1>qualms with this app because half of the fruits have

0:20:28.350 --> 0:20:35.190
<v Speaker 1>been vegetables. This week she is Swiss chard. Swiss chard? Okay.

0:20:35.210 --> 0:20:37.950
<v Speaker 1>And next week she's a bunch of kale. So I

0:20:38.710 --> 0:20:41.430
<v Speaker 1>don't know if they just ran out of larger fruits

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 1>swiss chard is like a big leafy thing but i'm

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>getting up there towards the melons she's gonna be a

0:20:48.100 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 1>melon pretty soon and i can feel it so i've

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.260
<v Speaker 1>just been walking but my doctor did say last week

0:20:56.740 --> 0:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>at my appointment she looked down at my feet and

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.699
<v Speaker 1>she said you still have your ankles that's awesome oh

0:21:02.980 --> 0:21:06.030
<v Speaker 1>yay and i was like well they might start i'm

0:21:06.050 --> 0:21:09.710
<v Speaker 1>assuming they'll start swelling now. And she said, usually when

0:21:09.730 --> 0:21:12.050
<v Speaker 1>it's this hot outside, if you're going to swell, you

0:21:12.070 --> 0:21:15.340
<v Speaker 1>would have already, I mean, I'm swollen. I'm just not, I,

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 1>you can see my ankles and I can still fit today,

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 1>my rings on, which is a big deal. So I

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.179
<v Speaker 1>feel good about that, but there's no, I'm done with

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:25.659
<v Speaker 1>the weights.

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:21:26.540 --> 0:21:27.860
<v Speaker 1>I retired those a couple of weeks ago.

0:21:29.180 --> 0:21:33.050
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're excited. Baby's coming up. We got another email.

0:21:33.130 --> 0:21:38.370
<v Speaker 2>This is in reference to something that we talked about

0:21:38.470 --> 0:21:42.490
<v Speaker 2>on a previous episode. And it's a really beautiful example

0:21:42.670 --> 0:21:47.189
<v Speaker 2>of feedback. We love feedback, especially when it's delivered in

0:21:47.210 --> 0:21:49.170
<v Speaker 2>a really healthy, kind way.

0:21:49.450 --> 0:21:49.690
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:21:50.350 --> 0:21:52.910
<v Speaker 2>Dear Kat and Amy, I wholeheartedly agree with the message

0:21:52.990 --> 0:21:55.820
<v Speaker 2>about family meals, whether it's PB &amp; J at the

0:21:55.859 --> 0:21:59.740
<v Speaker 2>kitchen table or Thanksgiving dinner, sitting down together really does matter.

0:22:00.260 --> 0:22:03.659
<v Speaker 2>I did want to gently clarify one thing, especially for

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:08.090
<v Speaker 2>soon to be parents listening. The American College of Pediatricians

0:22:09.010 --> 0:22:13.689
<v Speaker 2>is not the same organization as the American Academy of Pediatrics.

0:22:14.270 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>The names are confusingly similar, but AC Peds is a

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 2>small advocacy organization with particular social and ideological positions. It

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 2>should not be assumed that something published by AC Peds

0:22:30.820 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 2>has undergone the scientific review or represents the consensus of

0:22:35.580 --> 0:22:40.220
<v Speaker 2>the AAP or mainstream pediatrics. A lot to follow there,

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:44.340
<v Speaker 2>but in this case, happily, the underlying message is a

0:22:44.380 --> 0:22:48.920
<v Speaker 2>good one. The AAP and peer-reviewed pediatric research also supports

0:22:49.060 --> 0:22:52.790
<v Speaker 2>regular family meals and the many benefits that come with them.

0:22:53.310 --> 0:22:57.870
<v Speaker 2>So yes to the family table vaccine, even if dinner

0:22:57.890 --> 0:23:01.890
<v Speaker 2>tonight is just sandwiches. I'd just be cautious about describing

0:23:02.010 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 2>AC Peds itself as a legit mainstream pediatric scientific authority.

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Best regards from a pediatrician who has spent the last

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 2>41 years reminding generation after generation of parents about the

0:23:15.619 --> 0:23:19.500
<v Speaker 2>importance of the family table and all other vaccines to

0:23:20.180 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Kim Burlingham, MD. You know what I get from that?

0:23:23.980 --> 0:23:26.609
<v Speaker 2>We have a pediatrician that listens to our podcast.

0:23:27.290 --> 0:23:27.770
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:23:27.790 --> 0:23:29.010
<v Speaker 1>Smart people to do it.

0:23:29.770 --> 0:23:29.990
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:23:30.090 --> 0:23:31.369
<v Speaker 1>I know we have any tips.

0:23:31.630 --> 0:23:33.930
<v Speaker 2>We've got a pediatrician. I know we have a lawyer

0:23:33.950 --> 0:23:39.250
<v Speaker 2>from time to time. We've heard from other therapists. Okay. Sweet. Yes.

0:23:39.390 --> 0:23:40.550
<v Speaker 2>I like, yes, yes, Kat.

0:23:40.630 --> 0:23:40.770
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:23:40.810 --> 0:23:43.490
<v Speaker 1>I like it when there's scientists or like somebody who's

0:23:43.540 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 1>works for NASA or something. Yeah. But I, this was me.

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 1>So this is, I take responsibility that I thought that

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:57.020
<v Speaker 1>was a legit scientific organization. And what she's saying is,

0:23:57.570 --> 0:24:00.530
<v Speaker 1>They have biases with the information they put out. So

0:24:00.590 --> 0:24:03.290
<v Speaker 1>to be wary. So thank you very much. I learned

0:24:03.330 --> 0:24:05.750
<v Speaker 1>something new today and I appreciate it. And the way

0:24:05.790 --> 0:24:06.470
<v Speaker 1>that you said it.

0:24:07.490 --> 0:24:07.830
<v Speaker 3>Perfect.

0:24:07.850 --> 0:24:10.050
<v Speaker 1>Message received. Yeah.

0:24:10.070 --> 0:24:13.780
<v Speaker 2>This could go in the dictionary under.

0:24:14.260 --> 0:24:14.859
<v Speaker 1>How to get feedback.

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:16.920
<v Speaker 2>How to get feedback. How to tell someone like, hey,

0:24:16.980 --> 0:24:17.460
<v Speaker 2>heads up.

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>You were wrong.

0:24:19.100 --> 0:24:25.750
<v Speaker 2>You need to know this. And the family table vaccine,

0:24:25.810 --> 0:24:28.970
<v Speaker 2>by the way, you're not sitting around the table giving

0:24:29.010 --> 0:24:34.510
<v Speaker 2>vaccines to your kids. It's meals around the table, sitting

0:24:34.530 --> 0:24:36.890
<v Speaker 2>together at the table, because we were talking about even

0:24:37.130 --> 0:24:48.630
<v Speaker 2>games around the table, how the vaccine leads to successful adults.

0:24:48.770 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 1>And healthier relationships within the family. Mm-hmm.

0:24:52.550 --> 0:24:56.210
<v Speaker 2>So just a little medicine. Glad we weren't.

0:24:56.090 --> 0:24:59.690
<v Speaker 1>Promoting something toxic. And she's like, actually, this is completely

0:24:59.730 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong and you shouldn't eat dinner with your family.

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.859
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I guess we mentioned like family table vaccine and

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:08.540
<v Speaker 2>it backed up into one of our Hasbro moments. And

0:25:08.580 --> 0:25:11.060
<v Speaker 2>then someone on our team was like, hey, we probably

0:25:11.180 --> 0:25:13.780
<v Speaker 2>just looking at like transcript or something, not knowing what

0:25:13.820 --> 0:25:15.959
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about. But they said, we probably want

0:25:15.980 --> 0:25:18.300
<v Speaker 2>to stay away from anything that could be seen as

0:25:18.380 --> 0:25:23.660
<v Speaker 2>controversial with a moment that's being sponsored. And I was like,

0:25:23.820 --> 0:25:25.780
<v Speaker 2>we didn't talk about anything controversial.

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, you did. You talked about vaccine.

0:25:28.820 --> 0:25:32.500
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And I was like, no, no, that's no, it's

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:34.850
<v Speaker 2>like a metaphor.

0:25:34.890 --> 0:25:35.110
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:25:35.450 --> 0:25:39.950
<v Speaker 1>Not, I would not bring vaccine conversation into this podcast.

0:25:39.970 --> 0:25:41.090
<v Speaker 1>We're here to have some fun.

0:25:41.290 --> 0:25:45.930
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Like when do we ever get super serious? I mean,

0:25:46.290 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I guess on Tuesday we talked about narcissism in the workplace. Yeah.

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:53.330
<v Speaker 2>So we do have, Occasionally we go deeper. But that's

0:25:53.350 --> 0:25:54.409
<v Speaker 2>not a controversy.

0:25:54.609 --> 0:25:54.850
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:25:54.930 --> 0:25:57.330
<v Speaker 1>That's not like people are going to have super polarizing

0:25:57.410 --> 0:25:58.230
<v Speaker 1>opinions on that.

0:25:58.950 --> 0:25:59.730
<v Speaker 2>Narcissists might.

0:26:00.950 --> 0:26:04.959
<v Speaker 1>They might not like the episode. That's fair.

0:26:05.060 --> 0:26:05.340
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:26:05.420 --> 0:26:07.020
<v Speaker 2>But I was like, no, no, no, no, no.

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:26:07.660 --> 0:26:10.619
<v Speaker 2>So that is another reminder of sometimes when something is

0:26:10.660 --> 0:26:13.159
<v Speaker 2>out of context and you can only see the tail

0:26:13.220 --> 0:26:16.859
<v Speaker 2>end of something sandwiched with the end of something, you

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 2>may come to a conclusion that isn't accurate. So try

0:26:20.540 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 2>to have the whole... picture.

0:26:22.540 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:26:33.770 --> 0:26:36.750
<v Speaker 2>So Kat's husband, speaking of Patrick, he's getting a lot

0:26:36.790 --> 0:26:40.370
<v Speaker 2>of airtime this episode from the last couple of weeks,

0:26:40.470 --> 0:26:46.389
<v Speaker 2>the daddy-o to this next little segment we're going to

0:26:46.430 --> 0:26:49.470
<v Speaker 2>do here, which if you want to explain the conversation

0:26:49.490 --> 0:26:52.050
<v Speaker 2>y'all were having, and he was like, you need Yeah.

0:26:52.310 --> 0:26:54.170
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to talk. If y'all are like, Amy, let

0:26:54.190 --> 0:26:58.260
<v Speaker 2>Kat talk. Before we hit record, she's like, I'm really

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:02.199
<v Speaker 2>out of breath today. So I want to include you

0:27:02.220 --> 0:27:04.020
<v Speaker 2>or I'll tee you up as much as possible and

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:07.300
<v Speaker 2>then you can say. But from what I remember you

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>telling me is Patrick was like, you got to check

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 2>out this Reddit thread. It can get really interesting. So

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:19.409
<v Speaker 2>you went and you found someone that had posted kids

0:27:19.470 --> 0:27:21.389
<v Speaker 2>hugging relatives and how they're not going to force their

0:27:21.410 --> 0:27:24.619
<v Speaker 2>kids to do it. But you put the A-I-T-A and

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:26.860
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what that stands for. But is that

0:27:26.940 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>the forum that Patrick told you to go check out? Okay.

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:30.720
<v Speaker 2>So what is A-I-T-A?

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:35.220
<v Speaker 1>Well, am I the.

0:27:37.010 --> 0:27:37.369
<v Speaker 4>Blank?

0:27:37.770 --> 0:27:38.310
<v Speaker 1>A bad word.

0:27:38.770 --> 0:27:39.070
<v Speaker 2>Butthead?

0:27:39.430 --> 0:27:39.630
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:39.850 --> 0:27:43.970
<v Speaker 1>Am I a butthead? Am I the butthead? And he was,

0:27:44.290 --> 0:27:46.850
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he follows this thread because I

0:27:46.850 --> 0:27:49.270
<v Speaker 1>don't know that he even has read it. Or if

0:27:49.350 --> 0:27:51.270
<v Speaker 1>he heard this somewhere else. But he was like, there's

0:27:51.350 --> 0:27:57.100
<v Speaker 1>tons of really funny, sometimes really interesting debates on here

0:27:57.230 --> 0:28:00.500
<v Speaker 1>that would be interesting stuff for you guys to talk through.

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>So I went to that thread and I had to

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>redownload Reddit because you know I deleted it. And I

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>went through it and there are some that I'm like, oh,

0:28:11.540 --> 0:28:14.770
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting in that discussion. I don't want to

0:28:14.790 --> 0:28:16.990
<v Speaker 1>give my opinion on that. But then this feels like

0:28:17.430 --> 0:28:20.270
<v Speaker 1>a common conversation that a lot of people, you can

0:28:20.310 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 1>take the one that I picked and apply it to

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:28.300
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different scenarios. It's just, am I the

0:28:28.980 --> 0:28:32.500
<v Speaker 1>butthead or am I the problem or am I causing whatever,

0:28:32.900 --> 0:28:35.270
<v Speaker 1>am I in the wrong for standing up for this

0:28:35.369 --> 0:28:39.290
<v Speaker 1>thing when these people believe this? And I think in families,

0:28:40.210 --> 0:28:43.250
<v Speaker 1>especially when you have siblings and people have different opinions,

0:28:43.350 --> 0:28:46.260
<v Speaker 1>it can be really hard to feel grounded in your

0:28:46.300 --> 0:28:48.660
<v Speaker 1>decision when other people are disagreeing with you.

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 2>For sure.

0:28:49.500 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So I thought this was interesting. There are some really

0:28:52.500 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 1>funny ones too that probably would be inappropriate to bring

0:28:54.420 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>on here.

0:28:55.060 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 4>So if you're.

0:28:55.700 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Also just bored one day, go read that thread.

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.740
<v Speaker 2>The AITA thread. I was trying, in my head, I

0:29:01.770 --> 0:29:03.140
<v Speaker 2>was trying to think of something I saw on the

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:07.570
<v Speaker 2>news about Reddit and companies and products because you know

0:29:07.610 --> 0:29:11.610
<v Speaker 2>how you can go there for suggestions. Like I was

0:29:11.650 --> 0:29:16.990
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out a good self-tanning face serum. I

0:29:17.050 --> 0:29:19.350
<v Speaker 2>have some that I like, like I've talked about the

0:29:19.730 --> 0:29:24.170
<v Speaker 2>salty face. But I feel like I'm always on the hunt.

0:29:24.190 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 2>When I run out of that one, I'm like, maybe

0:29:26.540 --> 0:29:27.940
<v Speaker 2>should I buy another one of those? Or should I

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 2>see if there's a better one that has some skincare

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.530
<v Speaker 2>ingredients built in so that it's not drying out my skin?

0:29:35.550 --> 0:29:38.390
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just always on the hunt. And I ended

0:29:38.470 --> 0:29:41.590
<v Speaker 2>up on a forum where they're discussing like the best

0:29:41.950 --> 0:29:44.810
<v Speaker 2>tanning products for your face and everyone sharing their opinions.

0:29:45.340 --> 0:29:47.860
<v Speaker 2>But then I saw maybe it was Mosh, Mo News,

0:29:48.580 --> 0:29:51.900
<v Speaker 2>did some sort of report about, but who was it?

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:54.780
<v Speaker 2>Who is he talking about that wasn't going to use

0:29:54.860 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 2>include Reddit anymore?

0:29:56.440 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I saw this.

0:29:57.260 --> 0:29:57.460
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:29:57.820 --> 0:29:58.340
<v Speaker 4>Maybe. Okay.

0:29:58.420 --> 0:29:58.620
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:29:58.720 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, why can't my brain? Cause this was a

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:01.780
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago.

0:30:01.940 --> 0:30:03.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh, okay.

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:07.150
<v Speaker 2>That's it. It's chat GPT. Good memory because I could

0:30:07.190 --> 0:30:10.050
<v Speaker 2>not remember what it was, but I found it interesting

0:30:10.270 --> 0:30:16.250
<v Speaker 2>that companies are now going into Reddit and adding, they're

0:30:16.270 --> 0:30:20.210
<v Speaker 2>going in as random Reddit users and.

0:30:21.910 --> 0:30:22.490
<v Speaker 1>Suggesting.

0:30:22.550 --> 0:30:25.510
<v Speaker 2>Suggesting things. So you think you're getting all this insight

0:30:25.550 --> 0:30:28.090
<v Speaker 2>from a random person that just likes it and it's

0:30:28.130 --> 0:30:32.410
<v Speaker 2>building data for you, information, when really it's the company

0:30:32.470 --> 0:30:35.250
<v Speaker 2>that's feeding Reddit the information, so therefore it's going to

0:30:35.390 --> 0:30:37.710
<v Speaker 2>come out. The results aren't real.

0:30:37.730 --> 0:30:39.860
<v Speaker 1>Can I tell you? What? I've got to tell you something.

0:30:39.950 --> 0:30:40.190
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:30:40.980 --> 0:30:43.260
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't read all of that. I just read

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:44.940
<v Speaker 1>the headline, so I didn't know that's why they were

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:49.580
<v Speaker 1>doing this. When I was updating SEO stuff for my

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:54.959
<v Speaker 1>therapy practice- That's what they told– that's one of the

0:30:55.090 --> 0:31:00.730
<v Speaker 1>big suggestions I got is go on Reddit threads and comment.

0:31:00.770 --> 0:31:04.230
<v Speaker 1>If somebody is asking therapists in Nashville, like get yourself

0:31:04.270 --> 0:31:06.020
<v Speaker 1>and your friends to go on Reddit threads and go

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:10.459
<v Speaker 1>type in three courts therapy or anybody who works there

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:14.500
<v Speaker 1>or my name and just kind of spam that. Because

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody's going to Reddit now for stuff. So it makes

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.140
<v Speaker 1>sense that if I'm getting that feedback as like a

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 1>small business owner, that big companies are doing that because

0:31:22.100 --> 0:31:26.290
<v Speaker 1>Reddit's anonymous. So it could be literally their new marketing

0:31:26.350 --> 0:31:30.130
<v Speaker 1>intern just all day going through Reddit threads and writing

0:31:30.150 --> 0:31:32.190
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. And that is one of the reasons I

0:31:32.570 --> 0:31:36.210
<v Speaker 1>can't use Reddit anymore. One of them is it's overwhelming.

0:31:37.190 --> 0:31:39.630
<v Speaker 1>But now I'm like, you can't even trust these people

0:31:39.810 --> 0:31:42.670
<v Speaker 1>because they're probably not even normal people.

0:31:42.690 --> 0:31:45.870
<v Speaker 2>I know. She can't trust anything.

0:31:45.890 --> 0:31:47.830
<v Speaker 1>You just can't. You just got to do your own,

0:31:48.550 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 1>buy the product, see if you like it.

0:31:51.550 --> 0:31:54.090
<v Speaker 2>There was, it was an Abby Jimenez book. And now

0:31:54.150 --> 0:31:56.230
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember the title because I read so many

0:31:56.270 --> 0:31:58.170
<v Speaker 2>back to back. So I can't remember which one it was.

0:31:58.190 --> 0:32:01.750
<v Speaker 2>Is it the night we met? It's so cute. They

0:32:01.790 --> 0:32:04.230
<v Speaker 2>met on, say you'll remember me.

0:32:04.250 --> 0:32:05.850
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to Google.

0:32:05.870 --> 0:32:07.850
<v Speaker 2>How do you.

0:32:07.770 --> 0:32:09.250
<v Speaker 1>Meet on, oh, I guess there's like.

0:32:09.270 --> 0:32:12.860
<v Speaker 2>Well, you become anonymous, but then they started messaging on

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:17.070
<v Speaker 2>Reddit because. The main character, and this is sort of

0:32:17.110 --> 0:32:18.730
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning of the book, and I'm not even

0:32:18.780 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 2>telling you the title of the book. So how would

0:32:20.340 --> 0:32:21.460
<v Speaker 2>I be giving anything away?

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:22.580
<v Speaker 1>They met on Reddit? How'd they do that?

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>It's so cute.

0:32:23.260 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:25.820
<v Speaker 1>But it's also a book. I know.

0:32:25.860 --> 0:32:28.900
<v Speaker 2>But I'm like, should I get on Reddit? They'd be like, hey.

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 2>So they both had this curse of going on date.

0:32:37.270 --> 0:32:41.090
<v Speaker 2>They're the people, once someone dated them, whoever they dated

0:32:41.250 --> 0:32:42.870
<v Speaker 2>after them, they would end up getting married.

0:32:43.130 --> 0:32:43.310
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:32:43.990 --> 0:32:47.970
<v Speaker 2>So they're like, what the heck? So he posted about

0:32:48.110 --> 0:32:50.270
<v Speaker 2>his experience and she was like, oh my gosh, this

0:32:50.290 --> 0:32:52.950
<v Speaker 2>happens to me too. And then that's how they connect.

0:32:53.060 --> 0:32:53.620
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that cute?

0:32:53.630 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 1>That's really cute. Wait, is there– because you know how

0:32:56.740 --> 0:33:00.020
<v Speaker 1>Craigslist used to have like missed connections and stuff like that?

0:33:01.380 --> 0:33:03.620
<v Speaker 1>Does Reddit now have all that stuff?

0:33:03.740 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:33:04.340 --> 0:33:07.660
<v Speaker 1>They probably– surely they do. Because that is sad that like–

0:33:07.870 --> 0:33:08.870
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of a cool thing.

0:33:09.690 --> 0:33:09.890
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:33:10.530 --> 0:33:11.370
<v Speaker 1>Not that I ever used it.

0:33:11.450 --> 0:33:11.950
<v Speaker 3>Me neither.

0:33:11.970 --> 0:33:12.410
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:33:13.370 --> 0:33:16.030
<v Speaker 1>It sounded like there's cool stories from it. So why not?

0:33:16.650 --> 0:33:17.270
<v Speaker 1>There has to be.

0:33:17.310 --> 0:33:19.890
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but before even that on Craigslist, it would

0:33:19.930 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>be in the newspaper. That's so sweet. I mean, you know,

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>sometimes people will post on Instagram like, hey, hey, Instagram,

0:33:28.420 --> 0:33:31.120
<v Speaker 2>do your thing. Like I saw this guy. He's got

0:33:31.140 --> 0:33:32.860
<v Speaker 2>a white hat. Find him.

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:34.100
<v Speaker 1>You know? Okay.

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:35.340
<v Speaker 4>Cute.

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that'll happen with me at the gym. When I join,

0:33:39.780 --> 0:33:40.580
<v Speaker 2>I'll be like, Instagram.

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:41.220
<v Speaker 1>Do your thing.

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:41.940
<v Speaker 2>Who's this guy?

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Or somebody could do it to you.

0:33:43.100 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Okay. Okay. This is the AITA that you pulled.

0:33:47.220 --> 0:33:48.370
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:33:48.510 --> 0:33:52.410
<v Speaker 2>Back to the AITA. My daughter is seven. She's always

0:33:52.430 --> 0:33:55.150
<v Speaker 2>been shy. She doesn't like being touched by people she's

0:33:55.210 --> 0:33:59.070
<v Speaker 2>not super close to. At family gatherings, my aunt always

0:33:59.130 --> 0:34:01.750
<v Speaker 2>insists on hugs. She'll open her arms and say, come

0:34:01.790 --> 0:34:05.150
<v Speaker 2>give me a hug. My daughter usually hides behind me

0:34:05.230 --> 0:34:08.090
<v Speaker 2>or says no. Last weekend was my aunt's birthday party.

0:34:08.150 --> 0:34:10.290
<v Speaker 2>She tried the same thing. My daughter said, no, thank you.

0:34:10.469 --> 0:34:13.390
<v Speaker 2>My aunt looked hurt. My mom pulled me aside and said,

0:34:14.010 --> 0:34:15.669
<v Speaker 2>you need to teach her to be polite. It's just

0:34:15.710 --> 0:34:18.930
<v Speaker 2>a hug. I said, I'm teaching her that her body

0:34:18.989 --> 0:34:21.529
<v Speaker 2>is her own. She doesn't have to hug anyone if

0:34:21.570 --> 0:34:23.830
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't want to. My mom said I was being

0:34:23.850 --> 0:34:27.690
<v Speaker 2>too soft and she's going to grow up rude. Now

0:34:28.070 --> 0:34:30.770
<v Speaker 2>the family is talking about how I'm raising my kid wrong.

0:34:30.969 --> 0:34:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I'm wrong for letting her say no

0:34:32.780 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to physical contact, but they're making me feel like I'm

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 2>ruining her. A-I-T-A, question mark? Is that how it typically

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 2>works at the end? They go, A-I-T-A, question mark?

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:45.020
<v Speaker 1>Did they do that?

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.340
<v Speaker 2>No, they did. So is she TA?

0:34:49.940 --> 0:34:52.820
<v Speaker 1>So I have my feelings as even just a human

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.500
<v Speaker 1>and a therapist, but what is your thought as a human?

0:34:55.980 --> 0:35:00.310
<v Speaker 2>So with my kids, even my own daughter, I ask

0:35:00.370 --> 0:35:03.170
<v Speaker 2>them if I can give them a hug. And I

0:35:03.210 --> 0:35:05.630
<v Speaker 2>don't think I always did that. And now I have

0:35:05.650 --> 0:35:09.359
<v Speaker 2>adopted kids They have different things going on. They weren't

0:35:09.660 --> 0:35:11.590
<v Speaker 2>in our home until they were seven and 11. So

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:14.989
<v Speaker 2>my daughter's moving in with us at 11 and a

0:35:15.030 --> 0:35:21.430
<v Speaker 2>half years old. And now she's 19. In the last

0:35:21.469 --> 0:35:25.330
<v Speaker 2>several years, there's been a lot of therapy and a

0:35:25.370 --> 0:35:28.430
<v Speaker 2>lot of her being able to speak up for herself.

0:35:29.190 --> 0:35:33.290
<v Speaker 2>And I, you know, at some point recently, you know,

0:35:33.350 --> 0:35:35.489
<v Speaker 2>she was able to express like, I just am not

0:35:35.530 --> 0:35:39.390
<v Speaker 2>a huggy type person. And so even the other night

0:35:39.489 --> 0:35:42.060
<v Speaker 2>after we had a serious conversation before we went to bed,

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:45.100
<v Speaker 2>I really wanted to just give her a hug. Like

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:47.899
<v Speaker 2>every motherly instinct in me wanted to just go wrap

0:35:47.940 --> 0:35:50.319
<v Speaker 2>my arms around her and hold her tight and wanted

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:53.060
<v Speaker 2>her to know, like, you are safe. You are loved.

0:35:53.140 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Like we're here. And I was able to convey that

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:00.530
<v Speaker 2>with words, but I wanted to do it with a hug.

0:36:01.610 --> 0:36:07.170
<v Speaker 2>And it was a sensitive moment, and it's sort of

0:36:07.210 --> 0:36:10.110
<v Speaker 2>a vibe kill when I have to be like, can

0:36:11.070 --> 0:36:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I hug you? But I had to ask because I

0:36:14.300 --> 0:36:16.800
<v Speaker 2>now have that information, and I've had it for a while.

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:23.310
<v Speaker 2>So now I don't just go hug her because– For her,

0:36:23.550 --> 0:36:26.270
<v Speaker 2>that might not be as comforting as I think it

0:36:26.310 --> 0:36:29.850
<v Speaker 2>will be. Or if the comfort is just for me,

0:36:30.010 --> 0:36:33.989
<v Speaker 2>like that's not fair. So I had to sort of,

0:36:35.940 --> 0:36:37.500
<v Speaker 2>even though I felt like, oh, I should just go

0:36:37.540 --> 0:36:40.380
<v Speaker 2>in for the hug, I had to, what I feel,

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 2>kill the vibe and say, is it okay if I

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.570
<v Speaker 2>give you a hug? And she paused and thought about

0:36:46.620 --> 0:36:48.790
<v Speaker 2>it and then she shook her head yes. And then

0:36:48.830 --> 0:36:50.709
<v Speaker 2>I went in and I gave her the hug.

0:36:50.950 --> 0:36:54.129
<v Speaker 1>And that allows her to receive what you're... Yes.

0:36:54.489 --> 0:36:56.410
<v Speaker 2>And if she would have said no, because there have

0:36:56.430 --> 0:36:59.310
<v Speaker 2>been times where she said no. I'm just giving y'all

0:36:59.390 --> 0:37:03.689
<v Speaker 2>a very, very recent example of something that happened. And

0:37:03.710 --> 0:37:09.210
<v Speaker 2>I was so proud of her for being able to

0:37:09.270 --> 0:37:14.640
<v Speaker 2>accept that because... for someone to not want that type

0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:17.259
<v Speaker 2>of interaction, especially from someone that they are close to,

0:37:17.300 --> 0:37:20.710
<v Speaker 2>like she is close to me, but she was able

0:37:20.750 --> 0:37:24.130
<v Speaker 2>to receive the hug. If someone is not a touchy person,

0:37:24.330 --> 0:37:27.810
<v Speaker 2>we need to respect that. So that's where I'm coming

0:37:27.850 --> 0:37:29.210
<v Speaker 2>from as a mom. And I don't know that five

0:37:29.250 --> 0:37:32.800
<v Speaker 2>years ago, this would have been my answer. I really don't.

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I would have been like, no, they need

0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 2>to know like the hug will reassure them that they

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:38.820
<v Speaker 2>are loved. They are safe. That will tell them everything

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 2>they need to know, which in reality, My case now

0:37:42.300 --> 0:37:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I know that might create more distance. That might create

0:37:45.820 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 2>something more uncomfortable. So I need to do the proper

0:37:49.140 --> 0:37:52.549
<v Speaker 2>thing and ask. And also I need to respect that

0:37:52.620 --> 0:37:56.270
<v Speaker 2>if she were to say no, that that doesn't mean

0:37:56.989 --> 0:38:01.350
<v Speaker 2>she's being disrespectful. That doesn't mean our relationship is not good.

0:38:01.370 --> 0:38:04.549
<v Speaker 2>It just means at that moment, a hug is not

0:38:04.590 --> 0:38:08.279
<v Speaker 2>what she needs. And I need to respect that. And

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:11.320
<v Speaker 2>that's the best gift you can give anybody is respect.

0:38:12.739 --> 0:38:25.210
<v Speaker 2>And that's the best gift you can give anybody is respect.

0:38:25.230 --> 0:38:27.509
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there are other gifts, but you know what

0:38:27.530 --> 0:38:27.910
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:38:28.430 --> 0:38:32.780
<v Speaker 1>It's one of them. Well, it's a lesson on autonomy

0:38:32.820 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and agency over our bodies, for one, at a basic level.

0:38:36.540 --> 0:38:40.379
<v Speaker 1>That if we start very, very young, not having any

0:38:40.460 --> 0:38:43.420
<v Speaker 1>kind of agency or autonomy over our body, how does

0:38:43.460 --> 0:38:47.549
<v Speaker 1>that then in turn carry on throughout our lives? How

0:38:47.570 --> 0:38:49.630
<v Speaker 1>does that change our voice and how we use it

0:38:50.270 --> 0:38:53.750
<v Speaker 1>and how we accept and decline things, especially for women?

0:38:54.510 --> 0:38:57.110
<v Speaker 1>But also one of the main things I thought of

0:38:57.150 --> 0:39:00.630
<v Speaker 1>too is we have so much more information now about

0:39:00.810 --> 0:39:04.710
<v Speaker 1>neurodivergence and autism and all of that and sensory issues.

0:39:04.930 --> 0:39:10.239
<v Speaker 1>And so on a emotional level, it might not feel safe,

0:39:10.340 --> 0:39:13.840
<v Speaker 1>but also for some people from a sensory level, it

0:39:13.940 --> 0:39:19.459
<v Speaker 1>can feel very, um, dysregulating. And for somebody who doesn't

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:23.319
<v Speaker 1>struggle with that, that can be very confusing. But for

0:39:23.380 --> 0:39:26.150
<v Speaker 1>somebody who does struggle with that, it's like, that is

0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:29.370
<v Speaker 1>It's not just stranger danger. It is like this dysregulates

0:39:29.410 --> 0:39:33.629
<v Speaker 1>my whole. body I can't I can't handle it so

0:39:33.650 --> 0:39:36.350
<v Speaker 1>what's interesting to me is it sounds like in this

0:39:36.550 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 1>scenario that we're putting the adult's feelings and desires and

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 1>needs and wants above the child's actual needs and that

0:39:48.420 --> 0:39:53.089
<v Speaker 1>is And just an interesting dynamic. So I would say, no,

0:39:53.130 --> 0:39:59.570
<v Speaker 1>you're not the butthole. Weird even saying that. You're sticking

0:39:59.610 --> 0:40:03.200
<v Speaker 1>up for your daughter and allowing her to learn autonomy

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and agency and that you don't have to just, I mean, yes,

0:40:06.500 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 1>we need to respect people and, you know, listen to

0:40:10.340 --> 0:40:12.569
<v Speaker 1>people who are guiding us in life, but also.

0:40:12.590 --> 0:40:14.050
<v Speaker 2>Be kind. Yeah.

0:40:14.170 --> 0:40:18.029
<v Speaker 1>That you saying, I don't feel comfortable hugging you. is

0:40:18.110 --> 0:40:20.930
<v Speaker 1>very different than being like, screw you. I hate you.

0:40:21.230 --> 0:40:23.950
<v Speaker 1>Or you know what I mean? Like those are two

0:40:24.010 --> 0:40:28.310
<v Speaker 1>very different things. So I respect you standing up for her,

0:40:28.910 --> 0:40:31.650
<v Speaker 1>especially when it is going against the grain with a

0:40:31.710 --> 0:40:34.950
<v Speaker 1>lot of other people in your vicinity. Cause that is hard.

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Very.

0:40:36.860 --> 0:40:38.819
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad you brought up the sensory stuff too.

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:42.219
<v Speaker 2>Cause when I even think of how my daughter is

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:46.920
<v Speaker 2>with certain sounds, I can't wear certain jackets or it,

0:40:47.910 --> 0:40:51.510
<v Speaker 2>she can't handle it. Like a jacket that's like a windbreaker.

0:40:52.350 --> 0:40:54.779
<v Speaker 2>Like if I'm driving with the jacket on, she was like,

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:56.980
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, can you, can we take the jacket off?

0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:58.380
<v Speaker 2>Can we take the jacket off? Like it makes her

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:02.620
<v Speaker 2>so uncomfortable. Smells will, certain smells will make her throw up.

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I can't tell you how many times in a car

0:41:05.900 --> 0:41:07.739
<v Speaker 2>we've had to pull over because she's going to get

0:41:07.860 --> 0:41:12.590
<v Speaker 2>sick because of, it's a, Yeah, it's a sensory thing.

0:41:14.170 --> 0:41:17.150
<v Speaker 2>Some people are very hyper, hyper sensitive to it. And

0:41:17.170 --> 0:41:19.049
<v Speaker 2>that's something we had to get to know about her

0:41:19.150 --> 0:41:24.010
<v Speaker 2>over the years. And the touch stuff, it's all tied together.

0:41:24.030 --> 0:41:26.730
<v Speaker 1>I just hate that. I don't know exactly how they

0:41:26.750 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 1>said it in this, but I'm sure it was paraphrased.

0:41:30.030 --> 0:41:35.120
<v Speaker 1>But calling somebody soft for having boundaries around their body

0:41:35.180 --> 0:41:39.060
<v Speaker 1>is very, like, can we not combine those two things

0:41:39.100 --> 0:41:40.259
<v Speaker 1>in the same sentence? Mm-hmm.

0:41:40.890 --> 0:41:43.209
<v Speaker 2>And his family members can't, like, if you know this

0:41:43.330 --> 0:41:46.049
<v Speaker 2>about this child, like I'm just thinking of so many

0:41:46.070 --> 0:41:48.270
<v Speaker 2>of their ways to make a child feel seen and

0:41:48.310 --> 0:41:51.900
<v Speaker 2>welcome of like, oh, hey, high five down low, too slow.

0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, like, I don't know, like you can be

0:41:53.980 --> 0:41:57.440
<v Speaker 2>cute and playful and like, oh, can you give me daps?

0:41:57.480 --> 0:41:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Are kids still doing daps these days?

0:41:58.840 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:41:59.140 --> 0:42:01.020
<v Speaker 2>Just think of a way to interact with the kid

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:06.890
<v Speaker 2>that isn't like requiring a warm hug, even though that's what, what, Well,

0:42:07.030 --> 0:42:07.990
<v Speaker 2>I would want to.

0:42:08.150 --> 0:42:09.850
<v Speaker 1>But maybe they would want to give you a hug

0:42:09.989 --> 0:42:13.510
<v Speaker 1>if it didn't feel so overwhelming to like if you start.

0:42:13.550 --> 0:42:16.130
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you know, with dogs, you know.

0:42:16.170 --> 0:42:18.049
<v Speaker 1>You have to like before you just go up to them,

0:42:18.090 --> 0:42:19.739
<v Speaker 1>you just don't you just give them your hand or

0:42:19.780 --> 0:42:22.060
<v Speaker 1>something and let them come to you. I don't do dogs,

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.239
<v Speaker 1>but I think that's what you do to not make

0:42:24.260 --> 0:42:25.460
<v Speaker 1>them feel like stranger danger.

0:42:26.300 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 3>We can.

0:42:26.940 --> 0:42:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Why isn't there a version of that with a child

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:32.680
<v Speaker 1>versus like, I'm going to just grab you. That's scary.

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:34.010
<v Speaker 1>And that should be scary.

0:42:34.140 --> 0:42:34.299
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:42:35.610 --> 0:42:37.489
<v Speaker 1>So I like that. Thank you for adding that.

0:42:37.989 --> 0:42:38.390
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:42:38.550 --> 0:42:38.730
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:42:38.750 --> 0:42:39.910
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you, Patrick.

0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:40.430
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we can do like a reoccurring little, I don't know,

0:42:43.700 --> 0:42:46.100
<v Speaker 1>segment anytime I find another interesting.

0:42:46.620 --> 0:42:47.860
<v Speaker 2>An interesting AITA.

0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:42:48.219 --> 0:42:50.620
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot up there

0:42:50.739 --> 0:42:53.549
<v Speaker 2>and then also heads up, be warned. If you're looking

0:42:53.590 --> 0:42:58.629
<v Speaker 2>for product recommendations, you might not be getting legit customer information.

0:42:59.770 --> 0:43:01.630
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I'm like, even on reviews, I'm.

0:43:01.730 --> 0:43:05.590
<v Speaker 1>Like, where, Well, so many of reviews now are incentive reviews.

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of times they'll say this was part

0:43:07.540 --> 0:43:13.899
<v Speaker 1>of an incentive program, but like, come on. You know what?

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.620
<v Speaker 1>Reviews actually were really legit and really helpful when I

0:43:17.130 --> 0:43:21.690
<v Speaker 1>used them is when I was using Nuuly, like the

0:43:21.710 --> 0:43:25.140
<v Speaker 1>clothing rental. And women would like take pictures of them

0:43:25.180 --> 0:43:25.819
<v Speaker 1>in the outfits and stuff.

0:43:25.860 --> 0:43:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Love a photo.

0:43:26.660 --> 0:43:28.620
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, thank you. I'm never going to do this,

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:30.970
<v Speaker 1>but thank you so much for you doing this for

0:43:31.010 --> 0:43:35.130
<v Speaker 1>me because it is so helpful. Those were legit.

0:43:35.930 --> 0:43:40.270
<v Speaker 2>Love a photo. I scroll immediately down to photos and

0:43:40.290 --> 0:43:41.709
<v Speaker 2>then I start clicking through those.

0:43:41.750 --> 0:43:44.290
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, I would never do this. Should I

0:43:44.330 --> 0:43:45.590
<v Speaker 1>give back? I don't know.

0:43:45.630 --> 0:43:47.210
<v Speaker 2>We need to give back in other ways because I

0:43:47.230 --> 0:43:50.989
<v Speaker 2>feel like when it comes to reviews, we're takers and

0:43:51.030 --> 0:43:54.870
<v Speaker 2>we need to be. givers because we need to give

0:43:54.930 --> 0:43:58.410
<v Speaker 2>back to the, I mean, even if the community, it's

0:43:58.430 --> 0:44:01.930
<v Speaker 2>like a restaurant or a, a coffee shop, like anything,

0:44:01.950 --> 0:44:04.350
<v Speaker 2>like I'm always relying on other people.

0:44:04.370 --> 0:44:04.670
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:44:04.950 --> 0:44:06.410
<v Speaker 2>So thank you for those of you out there doing

0:44:06.430 --> 0:44:07.089
<v Speaker 2>the Lord's work.

0:44:07.130 --> 0:44:08.490
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Thank you.

0:44:08.510 --> 0:44:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Um, and we hope wherever you are, all of you listening,

0:44:12.820 --> 0:44:16.180
<v Speaker 2>even you, Patrick, you think he's listening?

0:44:16.700 --> 0:44:17.339
<v Speaker 1>Definitely not.

0:44:17.460 --> 0:44:19.340
<v Speaker 2>Even though there's like a third of this episode is

0:44:19.360 --> 0:44:21.220
<v Speaker 2>because of him, daddy.

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.300
<v Speaker 2>Soon to be daddy. So is, is, is baby Zoe

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:28.920
<v Speaker 2>going to call him daddy? Yeah. And for, I'm assuming

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.940
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning, that's till she's 35.

0:44:32.940 --> 0:44:35.560
<v Speaker 1>33, but, or she might, I mean, oh my gosh.

0:44:35.739 --> 0:44:37.200
<v Speaker 2>We just gave Zoe the plan.

0:44:37.390 --> 0:44:37.620
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:44:37.820 --> 0:44:41.710
<v Speaker 2>No, Nina, Nina, our caller. Do we know Zoe will

0:44:41.750 --> 0:44:44.760
<v Speaker 2>say daddy till she starts to feel weird about it.

0:44:44.830 --> 0:44:46.310
<v Speaker 2>And then she's going to do daddy.

0:44:46.390 --> 0:44:49.740
<v Speaker 1>Oh, got it. She's already planned out.

0:44:49.770 --> 0:44:50.790
<v Speaker 2>So are you going to be mom though?

0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm her mom. What do you mean?

0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:54.490
<v Speaker 2>Wait, are you going to be mommy or mom?

0:44:54.500 --> 0:44:58.190
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think in the beginning they call babies can

0:44:58.230 --> 0:45:01.530
<v Speaker 1>first start saying like mama, dada. Then it goes to mommy.

0:45:01.670 --> 0:45:03.750
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a mommy for a little bit.

0:45:03.810 --> 0:45:06.710
<v Speaker 2>That's fine. That felt so weird coming out of my mouth.

0:45:06.910 --> 0:45:09.910
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a mommy. I never did mommy,

0:45:10.010 --> 0:45:10.600
<v Speaker 2>so I don't know.

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember calling my mom mommy, but I'm sure

0:45:13.540 --> 0:45:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I did when I was like three years old.

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:45:16.680 --> 0:45:17.140
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.180
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to ask her. But yeah, I want to

0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:22.940
<v Speaker 1>be mommy for a little bit, but then when she's 17,
