WEBVTT - When Roles Shift in Relationships

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Once upon a time there was a good old traditional housewife.

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>She couldn't She cleaned and cared for her children and

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the man of the house, and of course she didn't

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>talk back. She was both obedient and soft by nature.

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>She was a good woman who always made good choices.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 2>We're good mom's bad choices.

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Who's single mom who said fuck the patriarchy? Shared all

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 3>their bad choices and sound out they were so bad.

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 3>After all, we're experts, overshares and your new besties.

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Sit back and enjoy the ride.

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 3>I can do it. Welcome back to good Mom's bad Choices.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm America, and I'm Nila, your little titty committee leader,

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 3>and I'm here to tell you don't need big titties

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 3>to thrive. You can have sch medium or extra larger petite,

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 3>which you're like mine a small bee. Don't you dare

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 3>say triple A because they're not. And you can thrive

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 3>with these big old titties anywhere in a bathing suit

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 3>in the snow at Disneyland and your while riding. One

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 3>of the things I used to have problems accepting is

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>when I was on top and I go like this,

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 3>it kind of looks like utters like a cat, so

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 3>I don't really remind myself not to do that, but

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 3>not anymore. Oh like you has always got a art

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 3>your back. Well, you just can't do this, okay, because

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't look good like that. But that's not the point.

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I love them and always I don't think.

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I think all the men, all the men that have

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>seen your titties in that position, have not had that thought.

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I think women generally are were in our heads. We're

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 2>not busy because your pussy's wrapped around their peace and

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>thinking about, oh my god, her tits look like utters.

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 3>You just gotta squeeze your life away and then they

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 3>won't remember shit. Yep, exactly.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Just key distract them, squeeze the life out of their

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>deck stores.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Wherever you're at right now, if you're listening to this

<v Speaker 3>found last week.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I had someone in my DM's yesterday asking about how

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>big my boobs were because she's getting a breast reduction

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and she was curious what size I had, and she

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 2>has a J and I was like, god, damn, I.

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't really a J though, because Victoria be lying.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I got to ae F.

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>But they but that's not an F, so they'd be

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 3>lying like Victoria's secret. No, but that was no.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I was an F like not Victoria's secret. Not this

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>when I had When I got frien, I was and

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I was breastfeeding, my tits were added.

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Really, yeah, I do want to need to see footage? Yeah,

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 3>I show you actually when if you see my tits

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 3>when I was breastfeeding, that's actually the book. That's actually

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 3>the picture I'm going to present the doctor because they

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 3>looked great and they were probably like a large seat.

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>In fact, I'm going to scroll through my photos just

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>so I can insert it here because it's very important

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 3>to me. It's actually my best boob life is when

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I was breastfeeding. Unfortunately, there's milk coming out, so it

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 3>wasn't like thriving like I would want it to if

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 3>they were real, fake, fake, real, but yeah, god, that's

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 3>like my one motivation to get pregnant again. Like, hey, Landa,

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 3>look at these You never seen this before.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>But the only thing about it is when they're that size,

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 2>like they're being used so much. Yeah, actually it's like

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>get the fuck away. It's like you're in like the

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>best hit, got the best hits of your life, and

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>they're doing neckless doing that.

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're I mean they're doing they're doing that

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 3>fun for you. Really, that's true. And have you ever

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 3>when you're breastfeeding, were you ever like riding and then

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 3>like you're also like full and then they start to

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 3>go like like you could squirt. I didn't. I didn't

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 3>breastfeed long enough for that to happen. They would like

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>simultaneously just be especially in the shower.

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I was having sex too. I was like,

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 2>get the fun. I literally was. That was pretty much

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>my whole pregnancy up until maybe one year after I

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>had Iri.

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 3>I didn't really I didn't. I wasn't really second.

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't even remember. I actually I don't remember any

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't really don't remember. I actually can't even remember.

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>There's like a big part of I think the early

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 2>days of motherhood that I literally don't have a don't

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.359
<v Speaker 2>have recklee. Maybe it'll come back later. Maybe if I

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>do AMDR.

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you why. Why Because it was traumatized.

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>I know, because you were traumat I know that's why

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember either.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I could do AMDR and then it'll come back.

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to, I mean, there's gotta be there's

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>some good ship that happened, for sure.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 3>I think I blocked out, like all of my pregnancy.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember, like really shit except I think I

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 3>found my baby daddy and bumble and amongst other things.

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember my pregnancy. It's after the pregnancy that I

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>don't remember anything.

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 3>I remember after a little bit, but like that full

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 3>two years, like the pregnancy in that first year were

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>a little bit like a blur because I was probably

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 3>like very miserable and said.

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot going on. You're literally walking into like

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 2>a rite of passage that no one can there's nothing

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>that can prepare you.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Literally, I don't care.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 2>You've got mom, friends, lots of sisters, siblings, whatever the

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>fuck you thought you knew, you don't until you go

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>through this. Because your hormones also you're like literally not

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>in control anymore. You're out of control your bache, you're crazy.

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 3>You're basically like a host takes over your body. It's

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 3>like a zombie apocalypse because like your hormones take over.

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 3>It's not even you anymore. Good luck.

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>So for those that are thinking about having a baby, congratulation.

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 3>It's actually truly like a zombie because the baby, you

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>are a host. You're like your hormones stake over your personality.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 3>The baby takes over your actual nutrients in your body,

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 3>and you like go elsewhere that we don't really know

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 3>yet where you go. But maybe this.

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we're like stuck in another dimension, like.

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 3>We're like resting. Maybe we're resting to rest because we

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 3>know it's like we want to have to stay up

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 3>along a lot of hours. Do you hear that this

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 3>is your only way to rest. You won't remember and

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 3>you won't feel rested at all, But it'll be great.

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe in our second pregnancies it will be different and

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 3>we'll have a memory.

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, because we're more self aware now, but also we forgot.

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of scared because I know more, and because

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 3>I know more, you know more.

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>But also we forgot.

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 3>I forgot, But then, like I know so much information.

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Our bodies are different. What if we have a totally

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>different reaction our bodies like some other wild shit.

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 3>That's my biggest fear. It's ten years later, Like I'm

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 3>primarily concerned about chin hair growth.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I already have that problem.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm already have that problem with Actually I

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>forgot to pluck that chin hair this morning that I

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>saw on the.

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Like triples, and then I'll die. Maybe, So that's not.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Gonna die die. I guess to another dimension.

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get electrolysis.

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I got electrons.

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Did it work? Though?

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I got electrolysis while I was pregnant. I don't know

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>if I was supposed to do that, but I did it.

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Not well, it worked, yeah, because I was getting I

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>told you I grew a beard on my neck, a

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>little patch, a little circa may right here, like between

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>ten and fifteen. Really it was substantial, really.

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Like enough that I was like, were you visibly pregnant?

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 3>Did the lady know you're pregnant?

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, oh okay, I mean I respine, Yeah, yeah,

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 3>she's fine.

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I was supposed to shave it.

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, I don't know what you're suppsed to do.

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 3>I would do the same thing. I would risk it all.

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've done it. People have done worse things.

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>People smoke crack.

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I just got electrolysis. I fun fact, fun bag.

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>If we're really gonna like way the go on the

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>spectrum of irresponsible good mom, good mom's bad choices, I'm

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna lean more towards the good mom.

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I once watch the documentary about the crack era, and

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 3>what I collected from the whole thing was scientists were

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 3>really surprised that after the crack epidemic that a lot

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.679
<v Speaker 3>of the babies that were products of like crack moms,

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 3>they were affected, but not as affected as they thought

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 3>they were going to be. So if you're crack, but

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 3>you're fine, razzle dazzle all extra sprinkle like like quite

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 3>literally and it might be genius, You're welcome. And in

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 3>the sixties they were telling women to drink martinis and

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 3>smoke cigarettes while they were pregnant. So the point is

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 3>we don't really know electrolysis is problem.

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people from the sixties are fucked up.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 3>It's not because they are drinking.

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>All the people that are in power now around that time.

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Because he's fifties. Those guys are a little it's because

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 3>their moms didn't hug them. That's the real issue. It's

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 3>not the martinis and the hug marbles, the hugs. The hugs.

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you gotta hug your kids important.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm glad that sorry, we just will. I'm glad

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.599
<v Speaker 3>that we we've recovered that.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that we've we got hugs and we're giving

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 2>our children hugs. And then I did not smoke crack

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>while I was pregnant.

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I did not electrolysis, which was I lady did some

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 3>other things before I knew I was pregnant. It wasn't

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.079
<v Speaker 3>smoking crack, though, but there was some other things that

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Luda's fine. She was great. She's wonderful, intelligent, funny. The

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 3>other things might have made gave her a sense of humor.

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 3>We makes. It gives you the giggles. It will give

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 3>your baby the giggles too. Oh God, don't endorse anything

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 3>that we say, because we are not all for entertainment purposes.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I didn't do any of these things. We were twenty six.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 3>What we're supposed to do, who knows?

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Like we're children, We were children having children.

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, you couldn't tell me I wasn't grown though.

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, not at all.

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 3>It's like, I'm a grown woman. I am twenty six

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 3>years old, mom, and I'm gonna have this baby, you know.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting with my mom yesterday and I was

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>telling her, like, some some stuff that's going on with

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.319
<v Speaker 2>my little sister who's nineteen.

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever respond to that text message?

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I did after I calmed down, and it went, well,

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that I was able to be a big sister.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Not a bitch. That's good for you, because I was thinking, wow, yeah, yeah.

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It took me an hour but and a few rewrites

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the text message. But I was telling my mom

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>about what was happening, and when I left her, I

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 2>was thinking because I was like, she's a child, like

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 2>she's a child, and my Mom's like, well, she's not

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 2>really a child, like she's nineteen, she's a teenager. And

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>then I was thinking about my mom listening to her

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>daughter tell her this, and I'm obviously I'm not nineteen,

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 2>but I'm still a child in my mom's eyes, and

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>just like her thinking.

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 3>The crazy part is will always be children.

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>And then I was but I was just thinking about

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I retelling me this, and I was just like, Wow,

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>it just keeps going.

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I just like we always think we're grown. We just

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>always think we're grown.

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 3>And we're not. Let's just accept the fact that we'll

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 3>never be grown, We'll never be fully grown, We're always

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 3>we're always growing. I talked to my mom this morning,

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 3>and we literally speak different languages. I don't know if

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 3>my communication language is just off from the world, but

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 3>like we're like having the same conversation but like clashing

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 3>it not. And I'm like agreeing, but we're still arguing,

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like, what the fuck is happening right now?

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I listened to your episode for the one

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 3>episode for the first time ever. I was like, oh really, really,

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 3>which one was the Moms Heal the World? Oh? God,

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 3>of course, okay, And I was like, I don't think

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 3>that was too bad, but yeah, my mom has not

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 3>listened to my entire podcast in seven and a half years,

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 3>nor has she read my book. And then she told

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 3>me she to end to dive into the book this weekend.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 3>She's like, what she been saying about me over yet?

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Now that I did you say anything? Did you say

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>anything on the episode about her.

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't. I mean I think I said some things,

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 3>but I don't think. I think I actually said she's

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 3>been doing a lot better, and yeah you did. Yeah,

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's probably why she's like, let me read the

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.319
<v Speaker 3>book now. But today she was like, she'd asked me

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 3>to take her to her colonoscopy and I said yes,

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 3>and then I was like, what time is it, Like

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 3>where is it at and she's like, yeah, well if

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 3>you take me, yeah, well you need to remember, and

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I, okay, yes, I wrote it down. It's

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.599
<v Speaker 3>in my calendar. Okay. Yes. She's like, why are you

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 3>talking to me like that. I was like, because I

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 3>feel like I keep saying okay, yes, I'm doing it,

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 3>and there's still She's like, I just feel like I

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 3>was just like I just had to let it go.

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 3>And I was just like, uh huh, yeah, I took

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Lenda to school today.

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Moms, mom's moms and moms moms. We just want our point,

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>We need to get our point out. We need to

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 2>make sure that you know all the details. Twelve times

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>we're all because we're still in mom mode. And also

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe she's nervous too, so she's just like saying stuff

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 2>to say stuff and wants you to be in the

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 2>know of everything that's going on because this is a

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>medical procedure.

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.719
<v Speaker 3>Then she's like, I could just drive myself home. I'm like,

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I think the point is that I drive you home.

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 3>She's like, you just have to show up and tell

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 3>them that you're taking me home. I've done it before.

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I was like, over, the point is that, That's what

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 3>I said? Why would I go all the way there

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 3>to do that? I said, you wait.

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Thirty minutes, go get a couple of coffee and come

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:44.959
<v Speaker 2>bring your drug ass home.

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 3>That's what I said. I said, just uber and I'll

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 3>be there to pick you up. Well, yeah, I don't know.

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.599
<v Speaker 3>I know anyway, moms never get less stressful or frustra.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>It's because she wanted you to take her and the

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>fact that she had to uber there was a disruption

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and the flow of how she envisioned it going. Because

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 2>that's also a mom thing too, like if it's not

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 2>going exactly how they envisioned it going.

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Apparently she envisioned it me just showing up and saying

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 3>hi and leaving and getting back in my own car

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 3>and letting her drive off, fucking off amnesia or whatever

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 3>the fuck. I don't fucking know what she envisioned.

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Not amnesia, amnesia, all theses fetitious. Yeah, you know, like

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 2>much like we said on last week's episode, you know,

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 2>mothers us our mothers.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 3>We're just girls. We're just the girls, you know. And

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.440
<v Speaker 3>sometimes you don't get the girl that you would necessarily

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.319
<v Speaker 3>like hang out with. Yeah you in fact, sometimes you

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 3>get the girl you wouldn't hang out. So then you

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 3>have to really figure it out. I'm really trying to, like, Okay,

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 3>let's figure this out, to figure out this communications.

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 2>So you're in this lifelong relationship with someone, so there's

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a lot of phases in which, like you

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.559
<v Speaker 2>guys are not on the same page in your personalities.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 2>And then like later on and lift, I just like

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>see how like my relationship with my mom has evolved

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>over the years, and how like we had so much

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>turmoil at one point in my life, and then like

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 2>how motherhood birthed us into another version of our relationship

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.079
<v Speaker 2>and our personalities and her life, her life changing as

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 2>she's aging, you know what I mean, And like now

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>we're in a different season of our relationship where like

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I do appreciate my mom more than I did before.

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I also see like the girl in her, you know.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's like it's just never ending. The longest relationship ever.

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a fucking longest relationship ever. It's longer than the

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>one you'll have with your kid. Maybe maybe around the

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 2>same time actually, but like because she's no, maybe it's

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 2>longer than you'll have with your kid, right, yeah, she's right,

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>because I don't know, I'm just thinking, like how long

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>how I don't know, it turns on when you have

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>your kid, if you're a teen mom or something, but

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>it's it's the longest relationship and it's your first relationship,

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 2>and so it's like, I don't know, I think the

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 2>we the hope is that you're like always in in

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 2>this symbiotic relationship with your mother. But that's just not

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the fucking truth. And that's just not the that's not

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the reality of relationships in general, whether that's with your

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>partner that you're in love with, whether that's your child,

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 2>whether that's your mother, it's just not you.

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Know, relationships might just very well just like be the

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 3>obstacle that like relationships are the obstacle that will eventually

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 3>catapult you constantly to the next level because you're never

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna be triggered unless you are in relation with other humans,

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 3>because you can't really be triggered by yourself. I mean

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 3>you can, but you're gonna likely oh so much you can, yeah, so,

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 3>And like even if you're a loner, if you isolate,

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna be triggered by the bitch at the restaurant

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 3>or the motherfucker at the gas station, because God's gonna

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 3>be like, oh, bitch, you think you got it away

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 3>from this. No, all close relationships, especially I'm realizing now,

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 3>like in a relationship where I live with my partner,

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, this is the like this is the

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 3>outside of my parents and like roommates that I've had.

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 3>This is the only motherfucker that I have to live

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 3>this closely with. And it's like it's it brings up

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of shit because we haven't I haven't been

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 3>lived in the house with someone in so long since childhood,

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 3>and now I'm here as an adult and I'm like,

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 3>you're getting out of my nerves and I there's nowhere

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 3>to go. I have to deal with it. So I

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 3>realized that, like, yeah, relationships are literally like God's hoops

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 3>that you have to jump through in life so that

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 3>you can get to the next dimension hopefully.

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Yeah, they're mirrors for sure. I like I've been

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 2>thinking about like how long I've lived alone by myself,

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>which has been over seven years. And you know, me

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 2>and shakem have you know, talked about moving in together

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 2>on and off like throughout our relationship.

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Early on, very.

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Early, like I had this like extreme want for him

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 2>to move We're on mushrooms and I was like, you

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 2>need to move in. I know, I I know, I

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 2>know you're not talking.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 3>I know it. And he was like, you know, of course.

0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>He's a reasonable smart person in relationship. But but lately

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I've been like just thinking about like what that dynamic

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.679
<v Speaker 2>it like would feel like for me to not be

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 2>able to like escape and and like but like knowing

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>that at some point like that's the goal, that's the goal,

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, but like also feeling my like fear and

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 2>like sometimes it's not present at all, and I'm like, yeah,

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 2>let's do it, fuck it, and other times I'm like,

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, like what And so I was I

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>was thinking about you, and I was just thinking about

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 2>like all of us, all of our friends that have

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 2>been in relationships where like they're living with their partners

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>or like people are in seasons of separation and divorces,

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 2>and like I'm feeling what that feels like too, like

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the emptiness of what that feels and like like the

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>scariness of what that feels like. And then you graduate

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 2>into like the empowerment in that place and just just

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>how that is such an important decision, both sides of it,

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 2>and like how living with someone is like I don't know,

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like an initiation, right.

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's an initiation. And also like there's a mourning.

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Like Orlando just recently went back to like the workforce,

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 3>like the real workforce, and I've been like, you know,

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 3>home alone more and like I'm like, oh yeah, like

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 3>this is what it feels like to be alone and like, oh, like, oh,

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 3>like getting back into that groove and there's a morning

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 3>of that. Like there was a time where when Luna

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 3>would leave, I'd just be alone, you know what I mean.

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 3>And then there was a time where and prior to that,

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I was with her dad and that was fucking miserable,

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 3>and you know, like just and then it was just

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 3>me and Luna, and like there's always going to be

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>like a mourning of what used to be, because even

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:55.440
<v Speaker 3>if it right now, Like I know a lot of

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 3>times people feel alone and they're like, I really want

0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.200
<v Speaker 3>a partner to like to support, and that's great too,

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.239
<v Speaker 3>but then there's times when you're in it and you're like,

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I just want to be around my own motherfucking energy,

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 3>and so there's fear around it. But yeah, like luckily

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 3>for me, Orlando just kind of squeezed his way into

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 3>my house, into my state, my city, and my house

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 3>without like I approved, but not really, but that's kind

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 3>of what I needed because I probably wasn't gonna be like, yes,

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 3>it's like move in together. He just left a bag

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 3>and then said I'm next time I come, I'm bringing

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.679
<v Speaker 3>the rest of my stuff, and I said, okay. But

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that we really sit in these decisions

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 3>that we make, especially as women, because women are just

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 3>like hand fed this tale that you're supposed to get

0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.360
<v Speaker 3>married and have babies and move in together and everything's

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 3>going to be happy and beautiful, and like, I think

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 3>men are actually more like aware because they are not

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.719
<v Speaker 3>given that same like protocol and called like normalcy. They

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 3>can be players and have a bachelor pad forever. Whereas women,

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 3>it's like even when we're all we're like, I want

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 3>a partner and I want a husband, you know, like,

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 3>and I feel that it's been a process and I

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.600
<v Speaker 3>love it. I love I love being in partnership, and

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I love like Orlando, and we have a really fun

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 3>household because we have fun together and we joke and

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.440
<v Speaker 3>we play and you know, but sometimes it gets real.

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 3>It's like you already have a responsibility of caring for

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 3>your child, and then another human comes in and then

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 3>like even right now, like I as he's gone back

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 3>to the work force, I feel like an immense amount

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 3>of pressure to perform for what like dinner cleaning?

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Why you have you're you're in the workforce too.

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 6>The patriarchy, it's who's patriarching you though You're like you're

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 6>you're you're feeling like you're falling back into like having

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 6>this Is it because you want to do it or

0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 6>maybe it's something that you actually like and want.

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 2>To do because you did have big dreams of being

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 2>a housewife at one point in your life, so that

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 2>that feeling obviously exists within you.

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I just want to win you want

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 3>to win what I don't know the best, like I

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 3>could be the best wife, yeah, yeah, yeah, but then

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 3>I want that's where that feeling came from. Back now,

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't yeah, I think so. And like even now,

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 3>no one said any of these things to me. In fact,

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Orlando was like fucking with me, joking the other day

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 3>about like you don't know how to be a wife,

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 3>and I got super offended and I was like that

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 3>was very rude. And then I stayed up late and

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 3>prepare lunch for the next day for five am. And

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.159
<v Speaker 3>then you know, there's just like these like I don't know,

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 3>my mind switches like, oh well, he's bringing home bacon now,

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.199
<v Speaker 3>so I gotta cook it and I gotta clean and

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 3>I got to like and even as a child, I

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 3>think it also stems from like I would sit around

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 3>all day until I knew my parents were coming home,

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.439
<v Speaker 3>and then in the last like twenty minutes of their return,

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:50.399
<v Speaker 3>I would just clean up the whole house because that

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.879
<v Speaker 3>was what I was. I was responsible for like a

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of responsibilities as a young woman. And like I

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 3>see that come up in me now, like if someone

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 3>leaves and comes back, I think I'm so to clean

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 3>the whole house. But I just I feel like I

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.880
<v Speaker 3>don't know, I can kind of see where men get

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.639
<v Speaker 3>it from. Like before, when I was feeling like more

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 3>of the how do you say, the head of household

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 3>that I had more leverage.

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 2>To kind of like to be like I don't want

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to clean it.

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah whatever, I'm like, I don't want to need to cook.

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 3>And now I'm like.

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, now you're called to be an equals in ways.

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't like that. I was like, god, do I

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.159
<v Speaker 3>kind of like being the boss of everything and everybody?

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I do a little bit, but shut up, Orlando. Now

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I have to, yeah, find a balance in like all

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.199
<v Speaker 3>the things like not trying to overdo so much but

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.200
<v Speaker 3>also trying for somebody else.

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, this is what relationships are about. It's

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 2>about like he's this new dynamic is asking for you

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.199
<v Speaker 2>to expand in some way because you can't run from

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 2>it because this person lives with you now and you

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 2>guys are engaged in building a life together and b like,

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>this is how he's shown up for you, like over

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 2>these last you know what, however, long then you know

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>this dynamic, this other id dynamic existed and he did

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>he has I've seen it, and now that you know,

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:22.199
<v Speaker 2>there's like this new element coming in where he's you know,

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 2>in the workforce, Like, yeah, there's like a balance and

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 2>that's what you don't like. Okay, I got it. You

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.880
<v Speaker 2>should see you most and that's she's like, and shut

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the fuck up.

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 3>And I also feel like the patriarchy coming out of

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 3>his purse ever since you got a job. I just

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 3>think it just like something switches in men. And then

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:45.719
<v Speaker 3>he's like, he got my shoes, bitch. He didn't say that,

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 3>but in my mind, that's what he's saying. And then

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I gotta go to the gym. I gotta

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 3>get my butt right. And then I'm like, I gotta

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 3>cook dinner too, and I gotta clean it up and

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:57.959
<v Speaker 3>I gotta forget the child. What the fuck? And then

0:23:57.960 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh my god, is this like single motherhead again?

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 3>It is? Damn Yeah, it's kind of intense, but as

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 3>you can see, I'm working through it with ease.

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>What were you like as a like what we like

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 2>in other dynamics when you lived with men where you

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>wasn't because you were younger, so it was different. Do

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.199
<v Speaker 2>you guys like, did you guys have like that my

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>baby daddy because I'm thinking about myself, and I was like,

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 2>did I like step into like that housewife mode ever

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 2>even in my last long ass relationship, And I'm.

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Gonna say no, My my my baby daddy didn't really

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 3>step into like the provider role at all. So I

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't really feel the pressure. I didn't feel supported that much.

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Like in some ways, yes, but I really viewed him

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 3>and and I realize this now because God, bless his heart.

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, we knew each other for so long, and

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 3>like as high school sweethearts, I feel like I got

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:56.479
<v Speaker 3>like maybe the worst of him. I ate because we

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.240
<v Speaker 3>were young, but b because I knew him so well,

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:01.199
<v Speaker 3>Like I was thinking that, like is he ever going

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>to find someone? Like is he gonna move on and

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 3>like have someone? And I was like maybe, because that

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 3>person will never know him as much as I know him.

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 3>And will I mean never, I don't know, but like

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 3>or knew him or like or knew him, like he

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 3>was so comfortable with me that he would literally show

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 3>his ass like there was no you know, like when

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 3>you get to know someone, you're like presenting the best

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 3>parts of yourself. And I kind of feel bad like

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 3>he he felt like he could wile out in the

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 3>most extreme ways because we were so close. We were

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 3>literally there was times I felt like we were like

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 3>siblings close, like I knew him. I've known him for

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 3>like twenty five years at this point, So there is that.

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 3>But I didn't feel like he showed up in that way.

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 3>So there wasn't like a huge need for me to

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.479
<v Speaker 3>show up that way. And I still did. But I

0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 3>feel like in this relationship, like you said, Orlando has

0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 3>supported me and us and our Luna and like a major,

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 3>major ways. That's very clear and obvious. And so now

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 3>they're like the pressure's on. It's like, oh bitch, now

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 3>it's your turn. Can you do it? And I'm like, ooh, well,

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 3>what what parts of it do you actually enjoy?

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Like maybe just you don't have to be good at everything,

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Like maybe like what part of being in sort of

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.400
<v Speaker 2>any sort of service or balance in that dynamic to Orlando,

0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 2>do you enjoy Like do you like cooking? Second dick, Okay,

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.879
<v Speaker 2>there's that. I do, like you were doing that anyway though.

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I like cooking. I do like cooking. I don't

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 3>like cleaning that much. And I feel like I'm like, obviously,

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:32.360
<v Speaker 3>because if you live in a house with anyone else,

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 3>you're always cleaning. But soon I'm making a cleaner.

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, yeah, so you just need to

0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 2>get a house keeper. You're gonna call the housekeeper in.

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 2>But maybe and then maybe you can cook, and then

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.199
<v Speaker 2>you would enjoy that because you do like cooking.

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I do. Yeah, yeah, bitch, So.

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that I think you're putting on I'm not

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 2>think like enjoying this a little bit more than you.

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe just don't put so much pressure on yourself

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 2>to fucking have to do everything that a wife does,

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Like what is a wife? What is a wife's responsibility

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 2>in your patriarchal programming and.

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 3>My patriochal programming, is that like everything like like everything

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 3>else to support the family, which is like cooking, which

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 3>is cleaning, which is I realize that, like I'm not

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 3>good at planning ahead. So if one thing, if I like,

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 3>do one thing lazy, then everything else is messed up.

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 3>If I like, if I you know, like if I

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.400
<v Speaker 3>don't clean the house and it's hard for me to cook,

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 3>and then it's like everything's a disaster. Then it's late

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:31.640
<v Speaker 3>and then I didn't wake up early enough to make

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 3>the lunch, and then everything's fucked up. Snowball it's just snowballing. Ef,

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:37.719
<v Speaker 3>It's all bad. It's late here, fucking don't do anything.

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Order pizza. I mean kind of sometimes. I mean, just

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 3>like we were.

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Talking about again in last week's episode, around like surrendering

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 2>to the mess of like motherhood too, and like sometimes

0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna like fucking hit all the mom marks,

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Like sometimes you gotta like do the shortcut wife mark too.

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Keep in mind, I'm only on day fifteen.

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, guess it's a new muscle you're flexing. Yeah, you

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:06.280
<v Speaker 2>know it's a little flat that, Yeah.

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:04.800
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:09.800
<v Speaker 2>I never like when I think about wife wifing, cleaning

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 2>is not in the I mean I clean anyway, but

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 2>like it being a part of my duty as your

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 2>wife is not party.

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:20.200
<v Speaker 3>You have a cleaner, you don't even think about it,

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Like you just come home and it's cleaning and thinking

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:23.680
<v Speaker 3>about your mind is clear.

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.160
<v Speaker 2>My house gets dirty in one day, maybe every house,

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 2>even though you have a cleaner like your My house

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>is dirty within twenty four hours. Again. But I like,

0:28:34.880 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I will say, like the cooking aspect, because there's parts

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of like I never cooked really for Freddy at all,

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:44.200
<v Speaker 2>and like cleaned except that fried chicken, except for that

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:48.120
<v Speaker 2>fight chicken. And there was a reason. But maybe that's

0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 2>why I didn't work out. I like tod know, wife duties,

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 2>like none of them.

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Was he expecting that from me? No, I don't think so.

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 3>And the crazy part is my mom was not that

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:01.080
<v Speaker 3>type of wife at all. I don't know where I

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 3>collected these ideas from, Like my dad was. I'm marrying

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 3>someone who in some ways really does a mirror my dad,

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Like my dad was the primary cook in my household.

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 3>My dad really was like like my mama took us

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 3>to like appointments and make sure we got our fucking

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 3>teeth to the dentist and she like that. But my

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 3>dad really was like hands on. So I don't know

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 3>where I'd adopted these Well, that's probably Latina house Latina

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 3>culture of my housewife, because I literally I think it's

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 3>because I didn't see it in my household.

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I was to say, because you didn't see it's probably

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 2>why you have resistance for it.

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 3>And also I kind of like like admired that, like

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to be pretty but like big cakes and

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 3>stuff like that. But yeah, but I honestly I aspired

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 3>to be a rich housewife, kind of like that lady

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 3>that I we know on the line that I sent

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 3>you the other day that I said, it's kind of

0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 3>getting on my nerves, probably because I'm kind of jealous.

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:57.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm not jealous.

0:29:57.640 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 3>She's like, look at what my cook made me, look

0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 3>at my chef, And I'm like, that's how I could

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 3>be a housewife if I have a chef, a maid,

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:07.000
<v Speaker 3>and the chauffeur.

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean that sounds like my kind of housewife. And honestly,

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 2>like I don't. I think I haven't. I haven't somewhat patriarchal.

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't even gonna call it that, just traditional traditional

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 2>trad wife things that come up in my relationships, Like

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I do enjoy cooking, But do I want to cook

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 2>every night?

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Like and cooking is like a new thing that I

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 2>enjoy in my relationship. Do I enjoy cleaning? I like

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to have a clean house. I will clean if I'm

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:35.800
<v Speaker 2>annoyed and I'm like, fuck it, we just need to

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 2>clean the shit up. But like, do I have that

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 2>part of my duties? No, that's like a shared responsibility, Like.

0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Do I washing clothes?

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I fucking hate washing clothes. I fucking hate folding clothes,

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 2>putting them away. I will put them in the machine,

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 2>but the.

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Last those last two steps, you can.

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Count me out. Like I don't need that. So I

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>think that like for me to be really true, really

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 2>happy and as a wife in the relationship dynamic like

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a there needs to be a fifty to fifty element.

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 3>The way I got it.

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Fucked up though, was the fifty to fifty like paying element,

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 2>because I did that in relationships where like I went

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>fifty to fifty with my baby daddy on a lot

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 2>of shit, and I should have never done.

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I should have never did that, Like I don't know

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 3>why the fuck I did that. This bitch is stupid. Yeah,

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 3>he's like, okay, all right, you might pay half the right.

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think it's like I think it's like

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 2>my own like hyperindependence trauma around like money and people

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 2>thinking like feeling like I owe anybody anything.

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Also like just liking my it's not even hyper deefents.

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I just like feeling like independent and I've done I'm

0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 2>doing something for me, you know. But sometimes at my

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:43.000
<v Speaker 2>own detriment, like where I'm like fucking at my lost

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.280
<v Speaker 2>last dollar. Don't don't know how I'm gonna like it,

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not gonna say anything like that's stupid as hell,

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:53.520
<v Speaker 2>But the fifty fifty dynamic doesn't doesn't I need that

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 2>dynamic aside from that in my household. But for the

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:02.040
<v Speaker 2>most part, like, yeah, I want I want service in

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 2>the home. I think that that's going to help. I

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:06.320
<v Speaker 2>think that if I think that will help my relationship.

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And I know, I know that's like yes, that's like okay, bitch, well,

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, like in my ideal world, if we're talking

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 2>ideally and the life that I'm calling in that I'm

0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 2>working really hard for, that is what's going to happen.

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It's what's going to need to happen.

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Because I want to go to lunch with my friends.

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't want to stay home.

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I want to go to my gym and then come

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 3>home and like dinner's already prepared and I just like

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 3>put in the oven. I think that, you know what

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I realized in this like as I'm preparing to uh

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 3>literally walk down the aisle and like expand my family

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 3>and like I'm getting older even though I've been an

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 3>adult for a very long time, I realized that like

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the vowels or like the role of a wife isn't

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 3>something I've had to really deeply like sit with and

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 3>understand and like vow like vow to because it's been

0:32:57.400 --> 0:33:00.080
<v Speaker 3>a concept for so long that yes, I want to

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 3>be married, But I think that these niggas have so

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:10.880
<v Speaker 3>generally on a mass level, comes so below the bar

0:33:12.120 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 3>that I haven't really it's only been a concept. It's

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:16.400
<v Speaker 3>never been something I've actually had to put into play

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 3>because most of the men that I've dated have not

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 3>shown up in a way that I've had to like

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 3>really be like, Wow, I feel so supportive, such a

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 3>great man. What do I need to do next? So

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 3>now that I'm in that space, I'm like, oh, ship,

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.120
<v Speaker 3>your turn. I got to read a book or something.

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 3>What pages this on? Fuss? I want to chat because

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 3>they know everything. Chat. I think Chatchibut is a she,

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 3>a he, or a they. It's anyone you want, you

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:50.520
<v Speaker 3>can you can assign it. You can assign its gender. Yeah,

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 3>did your talk to you? I don't.

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't do that. I don't even know how to

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 2>do that. How do I make him talk to me?

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.120
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know, I don't, I don't like I

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 3>robot in my foot in house?

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 2>How do you become a wife?

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 3>How do you know? Not become? How do you be away?

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:08.440
<v Speaker 3>How do you be? How? What are wife duties?

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:09.600
<v Speaker 7>Be a wife?

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Tragbt Thanks a big and meaningful question, and a good

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 2>one to ask. If you're thinking about marriage, are newly

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 2>wet or just trying to grow in your role?

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 3>That's me you start with.

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 2>You know yourself, your values, goals, boundaries, and identity matter

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 2>just as much in marriage as it does before. So

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of like when you're become a parent. Don't lose

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 2>your identity. Stay grounded, Okay, don't lose your sense of

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 2>self in your role.

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Tell us myself say it again, tullless myself, don't us myself,

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 3>tell us myself.

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 2>A healthy marriage includes two whole people, not one person

0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:50.520
<v Speaker 2>disappearing into another. Yeah that fifty to fifty or one one,

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 2>not fifty to fifty's together one plus plus two three

0:34:58.719 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 2>because third, h I got it. Listen, look at me, nye,

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 2>keep looking at me.

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 3>You got it? Got it? One three plus one equals

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 3>two plus one is three.

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget that, Okay, communicate honestly speak your needs clearly

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and listen to your partners' needs. Listen, listen, practice empathy.

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:26.360
<v Speaker 3>I care, but what you're saying you don't always have

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 3>to agree.

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 2>But it helps to meet in the middle.

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 3>I genuinely care.

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 2>You have to be in the middle all the time.

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:33.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't care.

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 2>That's where the fun. The fun is where you don't

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.720
<v Speaker 2>meet in the middle. Don't bottle things up. Resentment grows

0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>in silence.

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 3>That's true. That's the hardest one. Though.

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Build and rebuild intimacy. This includes emotional closeness, physical affection, vulnerability,

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and fun. Stay curious about your partner. Don't assume you

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>know everything about them just because you're married. This is

0:35:59.840 --> 0:36:00.760
<v Speaker 2>this is very ethical.

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:04.399
<v Speaker 3>Okay, chatchy, she's been reading the internet. Live live.

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 2>The commitment marriage is as a choice you make daily,

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:12.680
<v Speaker 2>not just a status. It's not just a concept, bitch.

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a real thing.

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, not just the ring and the dress.

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Got it? Keep growing? Know what a light? Know what

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 2>a wife isn't?

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 3>What is a wife isn't?

0:36:24.040 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 2>A wife is not a servant.

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh see write that down, Orlando.

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 2>She is not a doormat or an emotional dumping ground

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 2>or a robot.

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Ai, you are.

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Not responsible for managing everything. You can't manage everything, all

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the all the things, all of this. You can't even

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.799
<v Speaker 2>manage all of his emotions. I can't even manage my

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 2>own his responsibilities or his mistakes, you can't manage them.

0:36:49.239 --> 0:36:51.400
<v Speaker 2>He has to deal with that shit himself. Sometimes I

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 2>get a therapist if something feels deeply wrong. Trust your

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:56.320
<v Speaker 2>instincts and seek help.

0:36:58.080 --> 0:36:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Therapist. I'm calling eve this.

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 2>A final thought that chatchybt Haspepe. Being a wife is

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:07.480
<v Speaker 2>ultimately about being a partner. It's about mutual respect, care,

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 2>growth and teamwork, not outdated stereotypes or losing yourself. I'll

0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 2>do it, stereott it okay. If you want to talk

0:37:14.239 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 2>about this in terms of your culture, religion, or personal situation,

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I can tailor the advice to fit that too. Put

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:21.840
<v Speaker 2>for blacks, would you like a version of this in

0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:24.839
<v Speaker 2>checklist or journal prompt form? And that's where we're done,

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.040
<v Speaker 2>chatty Chi, that's where the sense to your journal.

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Orlando has been at work for six zero point seven

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.880
<v Speaker 3>hours and I don't know what to do. Should I

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:39.040
<v Speaker 3>start with the dishes or the laundry? Today I did

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.239
<v Speaker 3>clean the kitchen, and I did the dishes and I

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:42.600
<v Speaker 3>put it on stories.

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 2>So I saw it looks great.

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to be accountable online. If if I do

0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:48.839
<v Speaker 3>it online, then I'll do it. It's true, it's kind

0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:51.200
<v Speaker 3>of fucked up. It's the why I take my vitamins

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:51.600
<v Speaker 3>every morning.

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:52.399
<v Speaker 2>It's the line.

0:37:52.480 --> 0:37:54.439
<v Speaker 3>It's the only way the Internet's working for.

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Me, the only way if I don't take my vitamins

0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:58.800
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram stories, did I take that?

0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I do it? Am I even a wife? Did you

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 3>see my ring? Did you see me get proposed to?

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Like now I'm cleaning death? Yeah? No, wife?

0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>The wife role is crazy. I was telling Mila before

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 2>we started recording that I've been taking care of my

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:16.400
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend because he was sick over the last two weeks

0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:20.240
<v Speaker 2>and just thinking about like through the vows of marriage,

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 2>through sickness and health and how like I was like,

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:27.839
<v Speaker 2>can I do this? Am I? Like one day he's

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 2>going to get old, Like like like my dog Shaka

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.200
<v Speaker 2>that I was annoyed the fuck with when she got old.

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 3>That was a dog, babe, I know, but I loved

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:39.000
<v Speaker 3>her at one point.

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Agent I'm just saying, like I had to really ask myself,

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 2>can I care for someone's health long term, like if

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 2>you are if you sign up to a healthy person

0:38:54.560 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 2>right and you don't even consider the fact that they

0:38:56.960 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 2>might potentially fall ill, get sick. And I'm thinking of

0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:03.440
<v Speaker 2>like all the people whose partners like have cancer, like

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:05.680
<v Speaker 2>all these different things that you just you didn't sign

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 2>up for. Well, you did sign up for when you said,

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess when you've said that vow, but you didn't

0:39:09.760 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 2>know you signed up for until you were there, and

0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:13.880
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, I gotta wipe this nigga's ass. I

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:15.920
<v Speaker 2>did not what my man's ass for the record, but I'm.

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Saying, would you look, yeah, I would.

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad we're not there yet. But like, I would

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:27.879
<v Speaker 2>do a lot of things for the people that I love.

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I know that about myself. And that's what this situation

0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 2>also showed me is that iye, I would do a

0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 2>lot for the people that I love. But it does

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 2>require and pull something out of you that sometimes you

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 2>have to go looking for. You have to go search

0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:44.880
<v Speaker 2>for it. It's not just there by nature, like you know,

0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:48.240
<v Speaker 2>as women, we're always talking about like we're nurturers by nature,

0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:51.760
<v Speaker 2>and it's like nurture is by nature to who.

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 3>But everyone liked our kids because it came out of

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.000
<v Speaker 3>our body and like that reaction.

0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Nurture to our partners, but like to what ex stent

0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to how far? Like I think that there's everyone has

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 2>their their limits and their spectrums in that and it's

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 2>not just like one hundred percent all the time. And

0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 2>that was surprising for me because I was like, of

0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:15.959
<v Speaker 2>course I would just step into this role. Of course,

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 2>it's easy, of course. And then I was like ooh, okay,

0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I'm like it was just it was

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 2>just interesting because I was really thinking about like, yeah,

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 2>like the vows that you take when you marry someone

0:40:28.640 --> 0:40:31.520
<v Speaker 2>and you say those things through sickness and health, and

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:35.840
<v Speaker 2>how often those things happen and it destroys relationships because

0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you weren't really prepared for what that looked like and

0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 2>or or you're in it right now and you're like

0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:44.960
<v Speaker 2>rising to the occasion and actually like damn, I didn't

0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:45.759
<v Speaker 2>even know I had this in me.

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Fuck the preparation. Yeah, the preparation. And a lot of us,

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean most of us are there's like no just

0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 3>like there's no mommy handbook outside of a good mom's

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:58.319
<v Speaker 3>gude to making bad choices. But there's no guide necessarily

0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.640
<v Speaker 3>to how to be, you know, a supportive nurturing wife,

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:03.239
<v Speaker 3>and there are I'm.

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Sure the Trachy has a guy.

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I've chattypt has everything, but like to embody it and

0:41:08.400 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 3>to like just show up that way is not like

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 3>and I unpopular opinion, like all women are not nurturing

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:15.879
<v Speaker 3>and most of us are not. Because if you didn't

0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 3>see your mom be nurturing, then how the fuck are

0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 3>you supposed to like actualize something that you've never witnessed

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 3>or experienced. Even that time, if you look in our

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 3>our archives that time that I was dating a gentleman

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:33.320
<v Speaker 3>named adventure Bae, I mean went to Palm Springs and

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 3>this motherfucker out passed out, fainted, and my first instinct was, oh,

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 3>hell n hell to the no. I don't even know

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:47.120
<v Speaker 3>you'd like that. I was like, I was pretending to

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:49.480
<v Speaker 3>be nurturing, but in my head, I was like counting

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:52.160
<v Speaker 3>your day, days are numbered, niggas. I was like, he's

0:41:52.200 --> 0:41:55.399
<v Speaker 3>too old, he faints in the heat. I was like very,

0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 3>I was showing up real nurturing. I was petting him,

0:41:57.760 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 3>I was looking into his eyes, but inside I was panicking,

0:42:00.560 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 3>like this nigga has got to go, and that was

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:04.319
<v Speaker 3>the first time I was like, oh no, I don't

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 3>like you enough for this. There is a level of

0:42:06.760 --> 0:42:08.680
<v Speaker 3>love that you get to that then you, I think,

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:12.279
<v Speaker 3>can can catapult you to a nurturing space where you're like, oh,

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 3>I love you a lot because I can show up

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 3>this way. But in that moment especially, I guess at

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:19.440
<v Speaker 3>that time it was five years ago. Fuck wow, uh,

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:22.360
<v Speaker 3>Luna was like five, and I was like, I already

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.319
<v Speaker 3>have a human outside of me that I have to

0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 3>care for and nurture and that's like not a liability.

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 2>That can be a mother's excuse for a whole lifetime.

0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Though I don't know is at any point you are

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:34.879
<v Speaker 2>like I don't You're always I'll always feel that way

0:42:34.880 --> 0:42:36.719
<v Speaker 2>about my daughter, you know what I mean, Like even

0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:38.759
<v Speaker 2>if she goes off into the world and obviously the

0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:41.480
<v Speaker 2>relationship changes. But I'm like, I.

0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Can't handle if anything happens to you five or fifteen

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 3>shit like, but that's the thing, like you, I couldn't.

0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't handle it if anything severe happened to my child,

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I would like show up it all all the way.

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 3>But like you have, and that's someone who has come

0:42:55.680 --> 0:42:58.480
<v Speaker 3>out of my body, Like physically, I saw you come

0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:01.239
<v Speaker 3>out of my kuchi. So this other nigga that came

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 3>out of somebody who else is kuchi? I don't know.

0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:04.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's like.

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Not my kuchie, not my problem problem.

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 3>You came out of it. But you know what I'm saying,

0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 3>come out of it. You know you might go in

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 3>there sometimes, you know, So it is like you really

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:20.919
<v Speaker 3>have to really examine. And I will admit, like I'm

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 3>in a space where I'm opened that I don't necessarily

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:27.000
<v Speaker 3>come with these tools and tricks and I have to

0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:30.839
<v Speaker 3>like kind of be in a place where I am

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 3>empathetic and supportive and showing up for my family in

0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:38.160
<v Speaker 3>a way that like I haven't really Like I feel

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 3>like it's just getting real right now, Like shit's getting real.

0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Like I got the ring, got bitch, he got a job.

0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:44.839
<v Speaker 3>Now what you're gonna do? You gotta really show up.

0:43:45.400 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not gonna put so much pressure on myself.

0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:51.560
<v Speaker 3>But I do feel like even in like the Kenya

0:43:51.600 --> 0:43:55.000
<v Speaker 3>ste Caven's Kenya k Stevens class that we took on,

0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 3>like the marital pre marital stuff was helpful, but I'm

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 3>like I need to read books or like at least

0:44:02.920 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 3>make a make a make pillars for myself so that

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I can like actively be working on showing up in

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 3>this role better. Just like if I was going to

0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:14.800
<v Speaker 3>show up at Good Moms and we did a retreat,

0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:16.239
<v Speaker 3>now I got to show up in that way. And

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:17.880
<v Speaker 3>we do merch, so now I got to show up

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:20.239
<v Speaker 3>in that way. Like just like any other job or partnership,

0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:22.480
<v Speaker 3>or like in school, if I want to learn something,

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:24.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go to class and figure it out. Like

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I recognize that that's the only way you get better

0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:29.200
<v Speaker 3>if you like ask other wives or you read a

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:33.440
<v Speaker 3>book or the Divine just downloads wife things to.

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.840
<v Speaker 2>You or you and just do it and like get on,

0:44:37.120 --> 0:44:39.439
<v Speaker 2>get be okay with the discomfort of it. I think,

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like even thinking about like you're taking that marital course

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:47.760
<v Speaker 2>with Kenya, and just all the and just the tools

0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:51.640
<v Speaker 2>in general that like we've acquired over the course of

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:54.320
<v Speaker 2>our careers in life, Like sometimes it's still hard to

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 2>put those things in practice when you're in an argument,

0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 2>when you're like when you're when you're default at coming

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:02.279
<v Speaker 2>up and you're like, I don't give a fuck, get

0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:03.640
<v Speaker 2>the fuck out of my face. I don't want to

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:06.239
<v Speaker 2>do animal anime whatever the fuck. But you're like, but

0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:09.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, it requires one person to at least be

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:13.680
<v Speaker 2>able to bring you back to that space, because both

0:45:13.719 --> 0:45:15.400
<v Speaker 2>of you are not always gonna meet there and be

0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 2>ready to do the work together at the same time.

0:45:17.680 --> 0:45:20.759
<v Speaker 2>And like it does require like the someone to be

0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:21.200
<v Speaker 2>in it.

0:45:21.640 --> 0:45:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Well the other person isn't. You can't learn the tools,

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:28.480
<v Speaker 3>but like actually utilizing them in a high fucking emotional

0:45:28.560 --> 0:45:31.880
<v Speaker 3>place is a whole different thing. I can know to meditate,

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I know the fucking water element, bitch. But am I

0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 3>gonna get angry and go I'll be back. I'm gonna

0:45:37.040 --> 0:45:40.000
<v Speaker 3>go meditate and then we'll come back and talk about this. Yeah,

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.440
<v Speaker 3>probably the fuck not yeah, because the Philly in me

0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:45.239
<v Speaker 3>is too clear and too like rembunct Like you have

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 3>to constantly be sharpening that tool. And like even in

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.400
<v Speaker 3>our relationship, even as a mom, I'm like, I can

0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:53.600
<v Speaker 3>know what to do put your fucking phone down, bitch,

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:56.120
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes you just don't do it. And it's like

0:45:56.320 --> 0:45:59.719
<v Speaker 3>and you can like attack yourself and be disappointed and

0:45:59.719 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 3>be yourself, but also gently starting over and doing it

0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:04.919
<v Speaker 3>again and giving yourself the opportunity to do it again

0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:07.719
<v Speaker 3>and again to like to eventually be better. You're going

0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:13.719
<v Speaker 3>to fail before you actually actualize it. But maybe this, like,

0:46:14.000 --> 0:46:16.640
<v Speaker 3>especially in a world where everybody's in open relationships, and

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I feel like marriage is like not a priority as much.

0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 3>We're not even like coming up in a socially in

0:46:23.239 --> 0:46:27.120
<v Speaker 3>a place where like long term partnership is prioritized or

0:46:27.160 --> 0:46:32.400
<v Speaker 3>talked about positively, So we really have to like try.

0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it's true, because, like I mean, I've I guess,

0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess I've had an example of long term partnership

0:46:39.840 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 2>with my mom and that I guess I have, but it.

0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:45.799
<v Speaker 3>Still feels foreign to me.

0:46:46.560 --> 0:46:49.520
<v Speaker 2>It still feels foreign to me, I think, because the

0:46:49.760 --> 0:46:53.400
<v Speaker 2>dynamic that my mom and my stepfather have is like beautiful,

0:46:53.600 --> 0:46:57.160
<v Speaker 2>and but it's not like necessarily like what I'm aspiring for,

0:46:57.320 --> 0:46:58.759
<v Speaker 2>do you know what I mean? And I don't mean

0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that in an offensive way. I just mean, like, I know,

0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:05.400
<v Speaker 2>like what my soul's path and love is supposed to

0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:06.480
<v Speaker 2>look like is not the What.

0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Does it look like outside of the main and the

0:47:10.440 --> 0:47:14.480
<v Speaker 3>driver and the cook like mine, Like outside.

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Of that passion passion, it looks like passion. It looks

0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:24.120
<v Speaker 2>like deep, deep communication. It looks like spontaneity. It looks

0:47:24.200 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 2>like collaboration, it looks like working together, it looks like space,

0:47:31.200 --> 0:47:31.959
<v Speaker 2>it looks like.

0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:34.880
<v Speaker 3>Individualism.

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 2>It looks like like I invited. I am inviting in

0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the discomfort. Like even yesterday me and him sat and

0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:45.600
<v Speaker 2>like yab yum, and like I was not. I didn't

0:47:45.600 --> 0:47:48.040
<v Speaker 2>give a I didn't really want to. And that's what

0:47:48.080 --> 0:47:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about, Like knowing you have these tools

0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:52.239
<v Speaker 2>and you do them and it didn't go how I want.

0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:56.440
<v Speaker 2>It didn't go how we hope it goes. But we

0:47:56.480 --> 0:47:58.400
<v Speaker 2>did it, do you know what I mean? And like

0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:01.359
<v Speaker 2>it's just like but I'm okay. I woke up this morning.

0:48:01.400 --> 0:48:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm okay with that because I'm still in

0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the work with it. I'm still doing the work. It's

0:48:06.160 --> 0:48:09.799
<v Speaker 2>just like sometimes the work there's no progress when you

0:48:09.840 --> 0:48:13.320
<v Speaker 2>show up, Like sometimes you sit on a call. Sometimes

0:48:13.360 --> 0:48:14.920
<v Speaker 2>we'll sit on a call and be like did we

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:16.000
<v Speaker 2>get anything done?

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:19.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, But what we showed up literally yesterday,

0:48:19.280 --> 0:48:21.279
<v Speaker 3>but we showed up. What do you think? I don't know,

0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:24.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't fucking know, But like what we showed up?

0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I mean? So it eventually eventually

0:48:26.440 --> 0:48:27.720
<v Speaker 3>the answers will be answered.

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:29.759
<v Speaker 2>But I think that that's like also like what I'm

0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:34.320
<v Speaker 2>realizing relationships are like too. It's like sometimes there's no progress,

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:36.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, but you're showing up, so.

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 3>There is, there's always a process.

0:48:38.719 --> 0:48:41.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like the consistency of showing up even when like

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.920
<v Speaker 2>no decision has been made, no choices have been resolved,

0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:47.400
<v Speaker 2>like things haven't been resolved, but you're there, you know.

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:50.880
<v Speaker 2>So I want to be in relationship with my partner,

0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:52.719
<v Speaker 2>and I am in relationship with my partner where we're

0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:57.120
<v Speaker 2>both committed to showing up at least at the very least,

0:48:57.239 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to show.

0:48:57.880 --> 0:48:59.640
<v Speaker 3>It, like we agreed to be here, So let's do

0:48:59.719 --> 0:49:02.000
<v Speaker 3>our best, let's put our best fit forward, Let's grow

0:49:02.080 --> 0:49:05.240
<v Speaker 3>in the process and agree that it might not always

0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:07.719
<v Speaker 3>look like this, it might not always be easy, but

0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:12.000
<v Speaker 3>we're here to see out the process whatever that is. Yeah, yeah,

0:49:12.040 --> 0:49:14.359
<v Speaker 3>and I agree. Like the passion, I think that that's

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:17.480
<v Speaker 3>always been really big for me, Like romanticism and passion,

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:21.919
<v Speaker 3>and like I even as a like a rebel with thought,

0:49:22.040 --> 0:49:24.920
<v Speaker 3>a rebel hoe without a cause, I was very clear

0:49:25.000 --> 0:49:28.800
<v Speaker 3>that like I wanted a relationship that was like juicy

0:49:29.080 --> 0:49:34.359
<v Speaker 3>and fun and like intimate and like there's chemistry, and

0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:35.799
<v Speaker 3>like I think a lot of times we look at

0:49:35.840 --> 0:49:37.719
<v Speaker 3>movies and like people try to say, like I mean,

0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:40.600
<v Speaker 3>and obviously I've only been in a relationship five years

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 3>or four or five years, but I think that there's

0:49:44.080 --> 0:49:46.160
<v Speaker 3>space for it to be passionate and to be all

0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:48.840
<v Speaker 3>those things and to like still be attracted to your partner,

0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Like is it gonna be on ten forever? Maybe not,

0:49:51.600 --> 0:49:54.400
<v Speaker 3>but I do think, like the move the movie theater

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:58.600
<v Speaker 3>version we see of love, like that high arows, like

0:49:59.000 --> 0:50:02.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that that is is obtainable, and I think

0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 3>they tell you like, oh, sex is gonna die, Like

0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:07.480
<v Speaker 3>they give you all these things that to expect, and

0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:10.360
<v Speaker 3>I just like I refuse to accept that, and I

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:13.560
<v Speaker 3>and I and like, thankfully in my relationship, I'm continuously

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:16.640
<v Speaker 3>every day proving that wrong, because there's attraction, there's love,

0:50:16.840 --> 0:50:19.600
<v Speaker 3>there's there's sex, you know what I mean, There's spontaneity,

0:50:19.880 --> 0:50:23.880
<v Speaker 3>and I feel like people underestimate like the passion peace

0:50:24.480 --> 0:50:29.000
<v Speaker 3>in relationships and and like long term marriages. Even the

0:50:29.040 --> 0:50:31.040
<v Speaker 3>other day, I was doing like ask a sexologist on

0:50:31.080 --> 0:50:33.840
<v Speaker 3>my stories, and somebody asked, like, I feel like I

0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:36.040
<v Speaker 3>can't be as sexually open as I used to be,

0:50:36.400 --> 0:50:38.400
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, that's because a lot of times,

0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 3>like the resentment gets so high, so there's like you

0:50:41.320 --> 0:50:44.280
<v Speaker 3>feel like the other person's constantly judging you, whereas before

0:50:44.320 --> 0:50:46.319
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh, anything you want to do, baby, you know,

0:50:46.400 --> 0:50:48.919
<v Speaker 3>and then when things happen and things happen and things happen,

0:50:49.000 --> 0:50:51.480
<v Speaker 3>then you're building up judgments and ideas about the other

0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:55.120
<v Speaker 3>person that don't allow you to like just let them. Yeah,

0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:58.279
<v Speaker 3>but I like that is one of the things that's high, high,

0:50:58.360 --> 0:51:01.239
<v Speaker 3>high on my list, Like I want you to be

0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:03.640
<v Speaker 3>smacking my ass and us to be making out and

0:51:03.680 --> 0:51:07.719
<v Speaker 3>like doing fun shit and like having that desire for

0:51:07.760 --> 0:51:11.400
<v Speaker 3>one another forever or else we're roommates.

0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that, yes, And I think that there's probably

0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:17.960
<v Speaker 2>people listening that have like maybe, like you said, like

0:51:18.040 --> 0:51:20.759
<v Speaker 2>experience that in their relationship early on or maybe for

0:51:20.800 --> 0:51:22.520
<v Speaker 2>a long time, and then there's a break in the

0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:26.680
<v Speaker 2>in the dynamic and it's like maybe it's just changed,

0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:28.600
<v Speaker 2>like maybe it's over. Maybe we can't get it back.

0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And that's where like the showing up part is, that's

0:51:31.600 --> 0:51:34.799
<v Speaker 2>where the work shows up, because their relationships do go

0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:37.600
<v Speaker 2>through seasons like I pray that you and Orlando never

0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:39.319
<v Speaker 2>go through a season like that. But if you do,

0:51:39.480 --> 0:51:42.840
<v Speaker 2>knowing that like there, you can always get back to

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:45.319
<v Speaker 2>that place, you know, like, but there is a requirement

0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:46.920
<v Speaker 2>for you to at least show up.

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:48.880
<v Speaker 3>And both be willing.

0:51:49.719 --> 0:51:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't even say open, because sometimes one person might

0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:54.480
<v Speaker 2>not really be open in that moment, but you're but

0:51:54.520 --> 0:52:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you're still there, you know, to be able to pull

0:52:00.719 --> 0:52:02.719
<v Speaker 2>the other, roll the other one out yeaeah. And that's

0:52:02.760 --> 0:52:04.680
<v Speaker 2>what I hear a lot about, like in marriages too,

0:52:04.760 --> 0:52:07.520
<v Speaker 2>It's like not everyone's always all the way in the

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:11.160
<v Speaker 2>whole time. It's it's like the beauty the longest relationships

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 2>are like we just were on this. We were our

0:52:14.600 --> 0:52:20.279
<v Speaker 2>our our entity, our whatever we created was on the

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:22.120
<v Speaker 2>different level at each at each moment, and.

0:52:22.239 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 3>You weren't when I was at fun. Yeah yeah, yeah.

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:27.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's like and and that's and that's how you

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:30.279
<v Speaker 2>know you're supposed to be with that person, you know, Like,

0:52:30.880 --> 0:52:33.640
<v Speaker 2>this is not you saying be miserable in your relationship.

0:52:34.000 --> 0:52:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Hell, don't be miserable, but also do something about it. Yeah,

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:39.880
<v Speaker 3>that's why I told the gentleman who was in my damns.

0:52:39.920 --> 0:52:42.959
<v Speaker 3>I was like, well, then do it. Then like, it's

0:52:43.120 --> 0:52:49.600
<v Speaker 3>not it's it's not rocket science. Don't over don't overthink it,

0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 3>just do it. And I was like, go to the tribe.

0:52:52.560 --> 0:52:54.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's my favorite thing in the world. Go

0:52:54.320 --> 0:52:57.320
<v Speaker 3>to the drive in movie and finger Banger in the trunk.

0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Just take ecstasy and you know, you know what Jamila's

0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:04.320
<v Speaker 2>cure for everything is you need Molly therapy.

0:53:04.560 --> 0:53:06.200
<v Speaker 3>I didn't say for everything at first. I said the

0:53:06.280 --> 0:53:08.880
<v Speaker 3>drive in bait, which is very PG and then I

0:53:08.920 --> 0:53:12.200
<v Speaker 3>said sometimes I will never forget or like our you're

0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:13.360
<v Speaker 3>one of our podcasts.

0:53:13.400 --> 0:53:15.399
<v Speaker 2>She's like, I'm going, oh, I'm going to New York

0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:18.719
<v Speaker 2>to go do Molly therapy with Young Bey because this

0:53:18.760 --> 0:53:21.000
<v Speaker 2>is how we're going to heal our relationship. And I

0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:22.120
<v Speaker 2>was like, is that right?

0:53:22.760 --> 0:53:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Did I do it? I don't think it worked.

0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank god it didn't work.

0:53:26.520 --> 0:53:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh my good God. I think you did do it.

0:53:28.200 --> 0:53:32.799
<v Speaker 3>But God, thank God for getting out of relationships when

0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:34.759
<v Speaker 3>it's time to get out of them. Because Young Bay

0:53:34.880 --> 0:53:36.839
<v Speaker 3>was not it. Neither was it Venture Bay or any

0:53:36.840 --> 0:53:39.640
<v Speaker 3>of the other bays that were on the list of bays.

0:53:39.760 --> 0:53:43.400
<v Speaker 3>But I mean it's and you know what, and like

0:53:43.480 --> 0:53:47.480
<v Speaker 3>shut out to us for trying and for you know,

0:53:47.719 --> 0:53:50.360
<v Speaker 3>allowing ourselves to grow and to figure out exactly what

0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:53.120
<v Speaker 3>it was that we needed, because without all the taste tests,

0:53:53.239 --> 0:53:54.719
<v Speaker 3>you don't really know what kind of cake you want.

0:53:54.840 --> 0:53:55.360
<v Speaker 7>That's true.

0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:59.239
<v Speaker 3>Gotta taste the flavors, taste the flavors to be like, no,

0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:03.280
<v Speaker 3>we don't need the peanut and this cake now, No, no,

0:54:02.160 --> 0:54:05.600
<v Speaker 3>don't that frosting doesn't go in that cake. No, that

0:54:05.680 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 3>muslim frosting is not gonna work.

0:54:08.320 --> 0:54:09.320
<v Speaker 2>No sprinkles please.

0:54:13.920 --> 0:54:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Wow, what a blessing to one day have the

<v Speaker 2>emotionally mature.

0:55:26.080 --> 0:55:27.680
<v Speaker 3>We weren't. We weren't and like.

0:55:28.040 --> 0:55:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Very immature, very think we were mature. I mean, I'm

0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:35.240
<v Speaker 2>just kidding. I mean there was some emotional immaturity for sure,

0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:37.840
<v Speaker 2>for sure, but at least we were self aware.

0:55:38.120 --> 0:55:40.440
<v Speaker 3>We were self aware, you know, we were like, we're

0:55:40.480 --> 0:55:46.320
<v Speaker 3>being stupid and it's so fun, woo wow, good old days.

<v Speaker 3>you go back to the beginning. There are a lot

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:56.040
<v Speaker 3>of gems there. We went through a lot of shit.

0:55:56.280 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 3>We and you know, we didn't just show up here

0:55:59.000 --> 0:56:01.719
<v Speaker 3>at good good media looking this good way to go

0:56:01.760 --> 0:56:04.440
<v Speaker 3>through some hoops jump through some fire, date some frogs

0:56:04.480 --> 0:56:06.920

<v Speaker 3>It's terot time.

0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Before we do terror, let's just let's just take a moment,

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:35.400
<v Speaker 2>just reset the energy. Do a few deep breaths. Wherever

0:56:35.440 --> 0:56:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you're at. You're driving, please don't crash your car. Keep

0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:41.719
<v Speaker 2>your eyes open, keep your eyes open, just you know,

0:56:42.120 --> 0:56:45.040
<v Speaker 2>try to take a few breaths.

0:56:44.840 --> 0:57:02.120
<v Speaker 4>In through your nose, out your mouth, Relax your.

0:57:02.080 --> 0:57:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Jaw, am exhale was sound, Do a little moan because

0:57:13.440 --> 0:57:26.720
<v Speaker 3>life is sweet and everything is good. Ah mm hmm.

0:57:32.200 --> 0:57:33.920
<v Speaker 7>Okay, now it's territyed.

0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Just a little reset.

0:57:35.360 --> 0:57:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to pull my dear?

0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Sure? Okay, she pulled the tower and I'm not gonna lie.

0:57:53.120 --> 0:57:56.040
<v Speaker 3>It looks kind of chaotic. There's people jumping out of

0:57:56.120 --> 0:57:59.800
<v Speaker 3>a tower that's on fire and maybe bleeding water at

0:57:59.840 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 3>the automn It's okay, I think, so, okay, it's okay.

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:12.240
<v Speaker 2>The Tower card usually signifies sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation,

0:58:13.280 --> 0:58:17.440
<v Speaker 2>awakening when the Tower card appears in a tear reading.

0:58:17.560 --> 0:58:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Expect the unexpected, massive change, upheaval, destruction, and chaos. It

0:58:23.240 --> 0:58:26.480
<v Speaker 2>may be divorced death or a love of a loved one,

0:58:26.720 --> 0:58:30.080
<v Speaker 2>financial failure, health problems, natural disaster, job loss, or an

0:58:30.080 --> 0:58:34.400
<v Speaker 2>event that shakes you to your court, affecting your spirituality, mentalit, mentally,

0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:37.720
<v Speaker 2>and physically. There's no escaping it. Change is here to

0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:41.400
<v Speaker 2>tear things up, create chaos, and destroy everything in its path.

0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:44.080
<v Speaker 3>I know I shouldn't picked this card. You did. Yeah,

0:58:44.280 --> 0:58:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I shouldn't pick that one, and I

0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:48.000
<v Speaker 3>picked anyway? Do you want to pick another one? Yep? Okay,

0:58:49.440 --> 0:58:51.320
<v Speaker 3>okays for somebody else's driving.

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:54.400
<v Speaker 2>After Tower experience, you will grow stronger, wiser, and more

0:58:54.440 --> 0:58:56.960
<v Speaker 2>resilient as you developed a new perspective on life you

0:58:57.040 --> 0:58:59.760
<v Speaker 2>did not even know existed. These moments are necessary for

0:58:59.800 --> 0:59:02.840
<v Speaker 2>your spiritual growth and enlightenment, and truth and honesty will

0:59:02.840 --> 0:59:07.000
<v Speaker 2>bring about a positive change, even if the experience, even

0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 2>if you experience pain and anxiety throughout the process. Thankfully,

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the Tower doesn't always associate with pain and turmoil. If

0:59:14.400 --> 0:59:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you are a highly aware and in tune with your

0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:20.400
<v Speaker 2>inner guidance system, then this tarot card can indicate a

0:59:20.720 --> 0:59:24.080
<v Speaker 2>spiritual wakening or revelation. You may be able to see

0:59:24.080 --> 0:59:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the cracks forming and take action before the whole structure

0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:30.919
<v Speaker 2>comes tumbling down. You may create a massive transformation before

0:59:30.960 --> 0:59:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you reach the point where change is your only option. Okay,

0:59:37.600 --> 0:59:40.080
<v Speaker 2>with this other card you pulled, my dear, This one

0:59:40.120 --> 0:59:42.680
<v Speaker 2>looks a little eight of swords, which also is Look,

0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:44.880
<v Speaker 2>this is the one where she's able to or like

0:59:45.200 --> 0:59:48.040
<v Speaker 2>she feels like she's in a bind, but she's actually not.

0:59:48.240 --> 0:59:49.440
<v Speaker 2>She just has to turn around.

0:59:50.200 --> 0:59:56.080
<v Speaker 3>What is this nine sorts? Yeah, she's blindfolded, she has

0:59:56.160 --> 1:00:00.400
<v Speaker 3>her hands behind her back, and yeah, I know this one.

1:00:00.280 --> 1:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Actually negative thoughts, self imposed restriction, victim mentality. The aid

1:00:10.040 --> 1:00:12.280
<v Speaker 2>of swords reveals that you are trapped and restricted by

1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:14.920
<v Speaker 2>your circumstances. You believe your options are limited with no

1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>clear path out. You might be in an unfulfilling job,

1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:21.080
<v Speaker 2>an abusive relationship, a significant amount of debt, or a

1:00:21.120 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>situation way out of alignment with your inner being. You

1:00:23.920 --> 1:00:25.880
<v Speaker 2>are now trapped between a rock and a hard place

1:00:25.920 --> 1:00:29.360
<v Speaker 2>with no resolution available. However, take note that the woman

1:00:29.400 --> 1:00:31.560
<v Speaker 2>in the card is not entirely imprisoned by the eight

1:00:32.600 --> 1:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>swords around her. And if she wanted to escape, she could.

1:00:35.680 --> 1:00:38.240
<v Speaker 2>She merely needs to remove the blindfold and free herself

1:00:38.280 --> 1:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>from the self imposed bindings that hold her back. The

1:00:41.120 --> 1:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>aid of swords is often associated with a victim mentality.

1:00:44.040 --> 1:00:47.160
<v Speaker 2>You surrendered your power to an external entity, allowing yourself

1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:50.919
<v Speaker 2>to become trapped and limited in some way. At times,

1:00:50.920 --> 1:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>the eight of Swords indicates that you are confused about

1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>whether you should stay or go, particularly if you are

1:00:55.720 --> 1:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>in a challenging situation. It is not as clear cut

1:00:58.760 --> 1:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>as you would like it, making the decision very difficult.

1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>You have one foot in hoping things can work out,

1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>but your other foot is out the door, ready to

1:01:05.760 --> 1:01:08.080
<v Speaker 2>leave again. This card is asking you to get out

1:01:08.080 --> 1:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>of your head and drop down into your gut and

1:01:11.400 --> 1:01:14.160
<v Speaker 2>your intuition so you can hear your inner guidance. Your

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>thoughts are not serving you right now. Your intuition is

1:01:17.160 --> 1:01:17.960
<v Speaker 2>trust yourself.

1:01:18.560 --> 1:01:24.680
<v Speaker 3>Hmmm, interesting pair that we pulled here. Hope that resonates

1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>with the collective. Do you have affirmation for us today?

<v Speaker 7>You may not be a nurture by nature.

1:01:58.080 --> 1:02:00.840

<v Speaker 3>about my the.

1:05:00.200 --> 1:05:02.360

<v Speaker 5>Well?

1:05:10.160 --> 1:05:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I already had a deep conversation with my husband that

1:05:13.840 --> 1:05:16.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm a famous author, so I can't really do too

1:05:16.920 --> 1:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>much with that. I can't change my full name. It's

1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:21.480
<v Speaker 3>my it's my stage name, it's my author name, Jamila

1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:23.640
<v Speaker 3>mapp But I could. I didn't put it.

1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>You could put Jamiala mapproy.

1:05:24.920 --> 1:05:26.640
<v Speaker 3>I offered him the roy. I don't know if I

1:05:26.640 --> 1:05:28.360

<v Speaker 3>future endeavor books.

1:05:33.400 --> 1:05:36.440
<v Speaker 2>there's still there's still it's a best seller.

1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:39.160
