0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>welcome to not an episode of I Choose Me. There's

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>not going to be an episode this week because it's

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July. Happy fourth of July everyone. There won't

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>be a new pod this week, just this little me

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>talking to you part. We will be back next week

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>for sure. But I'm very excited because this week, my

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>daughter Luca, who lives in New York City, she's coming home.

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It's been too long. I haven't seen her in a

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of months, and it's her birthday, and we have

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 1>a weekend full of celebrating her and just all being together.

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>And I could not be happier about that. And then

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that is going to roll right into our Fourth of

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>July festivities. I have no idea what that is going

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to be yet. I don't know what we're doing, but

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it'll be fun, because, like I said, we're

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be together. Speaking of all being together, I

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>want to share with you guys something really quickly the

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>good that has come from this pod. This is just

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.759
<v Speaker 1>one of the things. Actually, there's been so many things,

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>but specifically the episode with my ex Peter. Guys, we

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>are officially friends now. Yeah, uh huh. He even unblocked

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>me from Instagram. I've been blocked on his socials for

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>so long that I stop caring years ago. But I'm

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>unblocked now, you guys. That's that's big news. And not

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>just that he let me borrow his cooler for a

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>shoot that I had this past weekend.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmmm.

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>He let me use his guest room for some fittings

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that we had to do with some people.

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, get this.

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>He invited me to his son Jack's christening and this week,

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>get ready for it. We are all gonna be going

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>on a boat together with the whole family. Whether we

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>push one another overboard, yeah.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>That's still tbd. But this is the power of the pod, people,

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 2>potp power of the pod, not to be confused with

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Ppa d if you know, you know. So, Yeah, a

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 2>very good week is ahead of me, indeed, and I

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>hope that you choose to have a fulfilling, adventurous and

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>fun week ahead too. I like to.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Remember how incredibly lucky I am during this Fourth of

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>July holiday, So lucky to have the choices.

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 2>That we do have.

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, man, that's fortune right there. I encourage you

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>guys to take some beats over this next week and

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>check in with yourself amidst it all, do some I

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>choose me, And remember it doesn't have to be big moments.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be big important things every time

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you choose yourself. It can be little things. Like just

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>last night, I had at least two I choose me moments.

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I said no thank you to an eight thirty pm

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>work call. I knew that that could wait until today,

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>which it did. And I also said no thank you

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to the dishes. I just went to bed with a

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>sink full of dirty dishes. I told myself that they

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>could wait, but that I needed to go get some

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>rest after I'd had a really long day and I

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>needed to get myself ready for another jam and day today.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>So guess what, the dirty dishes were fine with it.

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>And the best thing that happened, someone either Dave or

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Lola saw them in the sink and chose to clean

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it up from me. I didn't even have to ask,

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>So I think I might be onto something there. Just

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>leave the dirty dishes and see who chooses to do them.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>So see there, it can just be the little choices

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that we make that prioritize ourselves and put ourselves first,

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and you never know what good will come from it.

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>But when it happens, I want you to clock it.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Say to yourself, Hey.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Look at that.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I chose myself Right there, I'm having an I Choose

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Me moment. You're gonna feel so good. And you know

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>what else I want you to do. I want you
