0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>start to get um, everybody I know is sick right now, Yeah,

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.560

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no. So I'm like, I'm trying something

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the other day Jason sniffling, I'm like, don't touch me.

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Love is in the air, young one, move this along.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>But it's been a sickly everybody is sick right now.

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>For sure it is and repeat virus. Like. I'm at

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the point where I'm like, definitely, there's no way we

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>could get anything new. All the things off. And then

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>last night Legends awake coughing. It's fine. I think it's fine.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be the reason is this? What do

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty something degrees? You know that back and forth is

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>always gonna and at fifty I turned on the fireplace

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>now because I've officially lost any sort of Michigan or toughness.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>But the same the air is dry in our house

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, yeah, so hopefully when you guys are

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>listening to this episode, I will be in too busy

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>making out in London. I just yeah, I know, I

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>started to just because you know, when you're so excited

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>for something, Yeah, it's hey, they always zoom in. I

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:24.119
<v Speaker 1>have to say whenever i'm guys, because I every time

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>they put a little like snippet of us up on Instagram.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>They always go to my face making my card on

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the sleeve face and just now I did it and

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm certain they're going to use it and I have

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>to lock it up. It's great because people always want

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to see the the reaction you go, um anyway, anyway,

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>So when you're excited about something, well, no, I just yeah,

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, I'm I yeah, I get not.

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say, I don't want to put

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>it out there that it's not going to happen, but

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I just get nervous. Yeah, because I think we daydream

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>us girls in our brain of how it's gonna look,

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and then when it doesn't end up that way, but

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>this time, when it doesn't end up that way, this

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>time it will. And I think it's really indicative of

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>how you're truly feeling that you would be nervous to

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>miss it. That's my favorite part about this. Yeah, because

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of trips that you're like, man, I

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>mean there's been a lot of trips for myself that

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, the flu would be great. I mean, I

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>hope not if you're going to London. I mean, she's

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>going to London. But I'm saying I hope that you're

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>not like, oh, I hope I have this flute, like

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you would be excited about London. I was like,

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm oding on zinc right now. So that you take

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred milligrams, I mean, I know, way too much. It's

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be like fifty, I think, but I didn't. Yeh,

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm I didn't really take a hunderd. I took fifty.

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>But if you're like that, even that high amount was

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>upsetting my tummy. So like why am I doing this?

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh, because I just don't want to

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>miss yeah, and that's the part I like speak, uh, yes,

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited and anyway, so this will be so then

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>when we get back, we'll do a recap of London

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>when we're really to build all the details, will I though,

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>We're definitely going to ask and see what happens. Christen's

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>taking that job on, well, I love it. I'm like,

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>tell the people they want to know, Cramer, they don't

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>tune in to hear about your grocery order. Well, I

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>will say something though, And he said, I really listened

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>back to um never really listen to us, because I

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>get well, I did because I had told Brave Heart

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>to listen, I know, and so in my mind, I'm like,

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>should do I want him to listen to the episode

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>or do I not because he doesn't really know my

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>world or what? Oh I love that he doesn't know

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>your work. So I I said, you know, I kind

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of mentioned you in a way a on the podcast,

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, should I listen? And I was just like, yeah,

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>that as this would be a good one for you

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to But then as I'm listening and then actually give

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>me sixty minutes, I'll get back. So but then I

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>was thinking about it because I was listening back to

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>some of the things I said, like you know, oh,

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I should just shut up and I shouldn't

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about it, and sometimes where I got into this

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>thing um with actually your husband cat And you know,

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't really tell the basis of what it is

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't said you know what it's around, But

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it's around privacy, right, So I've always said I when

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>everything happened with my ex, that is when I took

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>things public because I wanted to have the this is

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 1>this is I want. I wanted to tell the story

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and not have the tabloids tell my story. So from

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>there became very public and open about things. And so

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.799
<v Speaker 1>now all that's where I'm at. I can't now ask

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>for privacy. I mean I probably could, but I I

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>enjoy sharing and and for me, the part where UM

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>like this when I was listening, Yes, I want to

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>stay private, but at the same time, because of how

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the divorce and the brokenness and the sadness, I'm like,

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I want people to know that, like you can be

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>happy too, and I like, I want to share that

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>piece as much as I want. Well, it's like as

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 1>much as I want to hold onto it, and I will,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time, I'm like you, there is

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 1>laughter and love and excitement, and yeah, if this doesn't

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>work out, it's still going to be okay. Like I

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>talked to Amy the other day, I said, yeah, it

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>would hurt, but I know I will still be okay,

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 1>just like but to be able to feel alive again,

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I kind of that's what I think

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>is so inspiring about you, though, Like I really mean that,

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>like you just don't give up on love well, and

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I want people to think about it. Wants to share

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>that with people, and I think that's beautiful and guess

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>what you get to make that decision. And if you

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>want to be private or not be private, you can

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>share information and not share the details. Like that was

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>part of our white board plan last year the Queendom.

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>We were like, share that you want to be in love,

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>share that you might be in love. We just don't

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>need to name or give a social Security number an address,

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>right We just certain details get to be sacred in private.

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's okay because you're actually still a human being.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I know that's crazy for a lot of people out there.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You're still a person. But what I'm saying is I

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>think it's just what I hope for. And this is

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>is this because you're gonna in London? Is this your

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>way of letting me know generally you're gonna let me down?

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I see what it is. It took me a minute,

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a little flow today. No, no, no, no, this is

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>this is what I'm This is what I'm meaning. I

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't believe. I've always believed in fairy tales, right. I

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>want to be able to show the woman that's in

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>her bed from a terrible divorce, thinking she's never going

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to find anyone. I want to be the person that goes,

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you will find a great love. And this might not

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>be my great love. I don't know, but like, go explore,

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>feel the feelings and share it because I think for me,

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>share it, not him. That's my white board. Yeah again,

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>different planets right now. I'm not saying I'm going to

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>share him. I'm just I already know the look, I

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>already know what's happening, and I'm not going to But

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 1>here's the deal. Show share yourself happy as a selfie,

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>and let us imagine who that might be. That's all

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking. No, I will not do that fast or

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>just give it a minute. Yeah, because then give it

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.839
<v Speaker 1>a minute and you can still show the fabulous love

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 1>story like when the manager enters the chat. No, I

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>would never this soon. I really wouldn't. I swear I

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you to say. Having said that said that, when

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the time comes, I'm mixed. I'm hopeful for the day

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to go. This is why, this is, This is why

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.559
<v Speaker 1>there was all those tears because it wasn't my fairy tale.

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 1>This is yeah, and I'm excited for them to see

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that picture of you guys married when that time comes. Yeah,

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's the first look, Christ We're going to guard

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>him hard. Where I'm guarding him hard, I like him.

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I really like him. I think we

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>really want to guard the one should no events to

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the others when you're getting when you're there. You know,

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>when I'm in London, was that a question? I thought

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 1>we already were okay, Quendom group chap Um. So yeah,

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>is there anything else, any requests that you want me

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to do while I'm in London? Because this is this

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>is my sound off. Yes, I'm going to chase the butterflies.

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Chase the butterflies. I just love yea. You know a

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of people really like that. It's crazy. It was

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful way that you put all that and so

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that's my whole thing. Last year was chasing Joy and

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>this year's chasing Butterfly. That's what we're up to. I

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>said that in therapy. Then I started crying the other

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>day because I was like, you told me to chase Joy,

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>not Christal. I have to next year, short Um, I

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.839
<v Speaker 1>need you to go to a place. There's a place there.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to remember the name. I think it's called

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>sketch okay, and I need you to go there. Sketch

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>It is this a naked It's like an Alice in

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Wonderland kind of bar. But it's really really super cool.

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a different world, Like it is like

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>nothing I've ever seen before. And I feel like we've

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>all traveled a lot and seen a lot of things.

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen anything like this and asked to use

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom and face time me from the bathroom. The bathroom,

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, and if anybody here has been to this

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>play restaurant slash bar, they're going to know exactly what

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about. It is insane sketch. Nothing I've ever

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>seen in London. Huh the bathroom though, you're going to

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>see the back of restaurants in a bathroom. Oh no, no, no, no,

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't take press into the bathroom. Man. I know

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I have a request that might seem like I'm picking

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>on you a little bit. Back to what we were

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Back to normal, and that's why I'm here programming,

0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and this is what we were just talking about. Now

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going here's here's here's what I think. Let's not

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>take photos in the same spot. He's both, he's private

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and it okay, let's just go for it, and let's

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 1>just take a photo together. Why I'm back on I'm

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>back on that side. Wait the two of them? Yeah?

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Why not? I don't know what's going on with Katherine.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I need everyone. I just need everyone to Okay, we

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>need to have a room minute. I'm done with the

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>guessing happened with Katherine where I feel like Katherine and

0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I are switching places recently, every time I say something

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>that's unlike me and a little like Katherine. I looked

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>at her it's like, you're gonna have my back, and

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>she's like, Okay, I debate your sides right now. And

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying she has to. I'm not saying she

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>has to post anything of them too. However, the picking

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.079
<v Speaker 1>part is, I don't love the posting in the same place,

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and you're posting it like I'm just like, either put

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>it out there or don't, and I'm like, don't. I'm

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>either for both. I'm just here for both. Sacred territory

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>is what we are entering. Have you seen her face?

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Though I have faith, Katherine, I'm sorry, guard him hard.

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Reguarding this is all there. Back to guarding. But take

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>all the photos and sent him to us, and I

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's happening. Am I going to start getting

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>business either? Now? Am I taking over in a blaze?

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Bab's hard to me. You want to go to my

0:12:55.320 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 1>r meeting after this? My last meet to a jama

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in San Diego and I'm an hotel room meeting. Chocolate

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>cookies following up on emails? What my panda cookies? Your

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>panda cookie? That was? That's all I have to say.

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>London is going to be beautiful, Becauys, I'm not going

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to share. London is so special to me. I fantasize

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>about London because it was so butterfly filled for Preston

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and I and it was such a crazy, wonderful That

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>was my homecoming season. Can I say one fear? Oh yeah,

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>ye that you're going to post because that's my fear. No, no, no, no,

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I have it so hyped. It's going to be perfect.

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>It's going to live up to the hype and exceeded.

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I already know you know what I'm talking about. Her

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 1>expectations of things can be very high, and the problem

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>is when it doesn't live up to that. The title

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 1>of the book come that's amazing. Expectations too high expect

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and I had to see you. I yeah, So maybe

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>let's just I don't know what I say about London.

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>The thing that I think I enjoyed the most about

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>it could be anywhere, by the way, you don't have

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to be like I know it sounds bougie like London,

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>like it could be. You could be like when I

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>go to Oklahoma. This is my expectation. My expectation it

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 1>was for me to enjoy myself, and I was hoping

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that some of that would bridge and preston I would

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the same things together. Blah blah blah. But the

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>truth of the matter is the reason I fantasize about

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that place so much is because there was such like

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a new wonder for me. I had nothing to do

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>with the people I was with. It turned out awesome

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>because I was able to like, we really bonded over

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>experiences and we held hands and we stopped and we

0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>stared too long at I mean, I was in heaven.

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>But London is going to wildly expeed your expectations because

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>it's though about London or who you're within London. So

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing. So my thing is there's a reason

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you do lifetime movies continue That's okay, I see it now.

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It's fine um for me and getting to know someone

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I've got. I've gotten to know this person over FaceTime,

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but you have seen him in we have three three days.

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Everything else has been a month and some just every

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>day facetiming and talking, and we've really gotten to really

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>know each other on a different level. Having said that,

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's when you're with someone that you you you

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 1>dream up all these things. When you're not with someone

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>that to then spend an extended amount of time, you

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 1>might the expectations of what you might think it's going

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 1>to be, and then when you get there you're like, oh,

0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I fantasize this a little bit more, or I maybe

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>thought it would be like this, and really it's like this,

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to might be bombed or you know,

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>but I think either way it's still going to be

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>an experience one way or the other. And dated someone

0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>this summer, and you traveled a bit. I did, and

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in those travels I'm being extra careful. I think we

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>all know. If you went to Windown, we get a

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>little use with the names. I was panicked again. Who

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>am I Catherine? And a Blazer? I don't know. But

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>when you traveled, I know, but I was worried about

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the name slipping. I would never be before before name

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>because she's the one that slips today. When you traveled

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 1>in that dating, the experience is what you loved about it.

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I know. I remember I took a picture from sand

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Fran and I said, that's the one. I exactly one

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, I said, from from all the things, the travels,

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 1>meeting this person like it has been finding myself and

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>be having being alone and you were like market bag

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>in your hand, and they really didn't get to see

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>him until after his well, and you can still make

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>this one about you too. Yes, it's about y'all, but

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>it can also be about you. And that's what I'm saying.

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.399
<v Speaker 1>It will be about you and the added bonus of

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:25.199
<v Speaker 1>a really sexy accent and someone knew that you get

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 1>at a at a minimum, we already know this is

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.239
<v Speaker 1>a pretty quality human being, and you get to know

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>him a little bit differently, more intimately. Some would say,

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>what if I just did a photo like let's say,

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>let's say like this is this is why I'm playing

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Devil's and this is Devil's Advocate. What if what if

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>it goes exceedingly well right, and we decide that we're

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be a boyfriend girlfriend. You know that, that's

0:17:54.960 --> 0:18:00.399
<v Speaker 1>what She's just. I don't care how well Joe, listen,

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.880
<v Speaker 1>what if we are everything? We end up saying, Okay,

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be committed to adjust each other, we're

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.360
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend girlfriend. This is how I feel. Blah blah blah.

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>What if I what if to seal that deal? Because

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I just take a picture of us, like holding hands,

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that's the picture, the hand holding, handholding. I might be

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 1>okay with us, That's all I will say. Because if

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>we're committed to each other, that doesn't mean we're committed

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 1>to the public being with each other. No, it's just

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>like I'm happy and this is a photo of two

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>hands until unless he has like a tattoo on his

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 1>hand and everyone's like somewhere, but devils do love a little.

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 1>She didn't know. That's why I said, listen, but Devil's advocate.

0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Why because she's in love and she doesn't care for

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.199
<v Speaker 1>the girl who's sad and knows that like it's going

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to be okay. What I'm saying, why so soon? Oh?

0:18:50.680 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm really happy. I don't know it happens that way.

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I know I should and knowing my freaking power, but

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>in the elf me I ever wanted to do it that.

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean like like, that's not this this yer this year,

0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I've not I can't. Can we talk about this comment?

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Have I ever done that? No? Honest, I'm not trying to,

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean in Instagram, I didn't. There's the

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>minus that one person. There was nobody else that I've

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 1>brought into my Instagram or yea, you haven't none, we

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>just take pictures in the same place. It's not And

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 1>it was funny because I said, I just don't think

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>anybody would ever even find everything. That's why I'm like,

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>either control it or so let me ask you this.

0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think i've asked this. Actually, such a

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 1>fun girls talk right now, And I know this is

0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 1>like legitimate. We haven't discussed, like do we do this?

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Is he so fair to say that you could be

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 1>in the US and people would recognize you. I've seen

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.719
<v Speaker 1>it happen at airports whatever. Well, someone recognizes me on

0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 1>my our first date. It was so embarrassing. Okay, so

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:20.880
<v Speaker 1>my question no, no, no, the first date with Brave Heart. Yeah,

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.679
<v Speaker 1>someone came up the like I mean, the moment I

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 1>met him. We then sat down and someone's like, oh

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>my god, are you Janna Cramer? And I was like, oh,

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 1>so is he that over there? Is my question? Um,

0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 1>because he's a little he's a little bit of a

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 1>big deal. So I'm wondering, is this yeah in places

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>mm hmmm mm hmm exactly. I rest my case. Yeah,

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>You're right, doesn't really matter. They still figure it out.

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>They always figure it was private though he's now a

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>private on Instagram, but how many followers already. I'm sure

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 1>they'll still figure it out from the freaking hand. You're right,

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>he's going to start getting a million requests. There is

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>no like like like therapistaid, there's no rush. I just think,

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in a very long time, I'm

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.959
<v Speaker 1>actually genuinely happy. And it's like I'm like, I do

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to buddy the elf share but it's so

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>But then I'm like when if it doesn't work out,

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.679
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna be hard, But this is where I

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 1>go It's okay because I know I'm gonna be okay

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>regardless if I end up with this human or whoever else.

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I just think this one seems so great that there's

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>no rush. That's what I feel in my heart. I

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 1>feel like you're going to be gushing about this and

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.119
<v Speaker 1>posting about this, and it's going to be supposed to

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 1>picture of yourself and say, guys really happy and all

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of us will heard it. I like that, okay, and

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:51.520

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of all, she hasn't stopped smiling. I know. A second, Well,

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting because we have a guest on who is

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Love Without Borders? And I can't wait to talk to

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 1>her because there's an interesting tidbit about Brave Heart that

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.639

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.880
<v Speaker 1>gets on. I can't wait. So let's take a break

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>then get her on. Hi, Erica, Hello, let's do this.

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.399
<v Speaker 1>We are so excited to have you on the podcast.

0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Love Without Borders is on Bravo and an elevator pitch

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of like who you are and what you've been doing,

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>um and specializing in So I've been a dating relationship

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>expert for fourteen years now and uh so the show

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:58.360
<v Speaker 1>came and basically the concept of this show is we're

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 1>taking five American singles and I match them with someone

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>but in a different country, and so they essentially don't

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 1>know where they're going until they get to the airport,

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 1>and then I say, this is the country that you're

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>going to, and not only that, but you have to

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 1>move in with this blind date for the next three months.

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Three months, yes, three months? Okay, can what are some

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of the country So the countries are We've already revealed

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>all of them, and they are Dubai, Panama, uh, Paris, France,

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:45.400
<v Speaker 1>which I live in France, So France, very excited about that,

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>um and then Ireland and did I say Ghana? Africa? Ghana? Wow?

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I know. So you so you personally hand picked which

0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 1>person to go be with the person for three months,

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 1>So me and my team did so. I primarily specialize

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:09.159
<v Speaker 1>in dating a relationship advice, and then I have a

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>team of matchmakers that I work with, and so it

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>was just kind of narrowing it down to like what

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>people say they want and what they actually need and

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>so making matches accordingly. Okay, So I'm going to give

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>a little fun, fun fact where I'm kind of out

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.679
<v Speaker 1>in my dating life right now. So I have been

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I was on Riyah for you know, since my divorce,

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and I primarily percent of the people first of all

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that I even would would you know, I would see

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 1>were Paris Um Dubai Istanbul Like I mean, I'm like,

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I've got two kids, I live in Nashville. Like I'm

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 1>swiping like left x x x x because I'm like,

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>what's the point right. So then a few months ago,

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>so one had reached out to me and I ignored

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>it because I'm like, he lives in London, so why

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>would I Again, my family's here in Nashville. I'm not

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>moving to London, so what's the point of me entertaining this?

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Well cut to I'm like, you know, maybe I'll just

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.199
<v Speaker 1>see I mean, who knows. I mean, I'm limiting myself

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 1>just the United States. You know. It's like I am

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.920
<v Speaker 1>like why not, Like who, who knows? Maybe my soul

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>mate or my person is overseas is across the waters,

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 1>right across the ocean. So cut to I'm now flying

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to London to see this person. Um, and I'm curious,

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 1>like what your advice for someone who's who I could

0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 1>potentially be walking into a long distance relationship because in

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.640
<v Speaker 1>my mind, I'm like, how would this even work? Erica

0:25:50.720 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, first sign a waiver, I'm sending a camera crew.

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Is there like any flexibility in his work where he

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>could move to the U S? Yes? So, UM, my

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 1>advice to you is this, Like, here's the thing about

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.359
<v Speaker 1>how long have you guys been seeing each other? Well,

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking for the past month FaceTime, I mean

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and texting every day, facetiming twice a day, three four

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:22.920
<v Speaker 1>times today. Um, I mean in very long conversations. And

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw each other for a few days when he

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:28.359
<v Speaker 1>flew here to say hello, and then now I'm going

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to see him for an extended period of time. Okay,

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>So here's the thing about this, And I don't want

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to be such a debbut down Erica's and turned the check.

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing you can you know when someone is

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>just far away and your face timing and this and

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>that I watched, I've listened, I've read into your story

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. I know a bit of your background,

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 1>and I've heard some of your relationships, and so to

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 1>protect your heart, Um, all of it is very exciting,

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's great, and we want our hearts to have

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>hope and to be excited about love. But I would

0:27:13.880 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 1>invite you to also bring in your reasoning and rationale

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to this as well, because what happens is when someone

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>is just far away, we cultivate somewhat of a pseudo intimacy,

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 1>meaning it's very easy to connect with someone on FaceTime,

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>but when life comes together, it's a different matter. And

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 1>so it's like, you obviously want to give your heart

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the capacity to be able to dream and to feel

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and to be excited, but also just based off of

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 1>your history and what you've gone through, like, no love

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.199
<v Speaker 1>bombing for you. Your heart's been through enough. You know,

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>it's been through enough, So no love bombing. It feels

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:58.679
<v Speaker 1>good and it's exciting, you know, put your toes in

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the water. But in this is suation, I would not

0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 1>encourage you to die ball in. Well, that is what

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:06.679
<v Speaker 1>we talked about a girl's night the other night, and

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty minutes we were essentially planning in our

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 1>brides adress. It's fine all over that little you know.

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:21.879
<v Speaker 1>That's really valuable information though, because I I'm actually married

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to a country artist, and a pseudo reality can even

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:29.600
<v Speaker 1>be in my marriage sometimes because over two hundred days

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a year he's not with me and so our life

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>has lived on face time and you know, calls and

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 1>texts or whatever. But even when you said that, I

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, wow, that's just really true because we sometimes

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>even have a disconnect when he comes off the road.

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, and I haven't felt him, you haven't

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 1>touched him, and it's like that connection has been broken,

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, Okay, we gotta roll up our sleeves,

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>we gotta build up the connection again. I need touch,

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I need you know. And it's like it's rebuilding. You're

0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in a constant rebuilding. And the lucky thing for you

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 1>guys as you guys have a foundation, but you're you're

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 1>this is all very new and so I really I

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be that debut down. But here's the no.

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll just ericum, I'll just say this too. I walked

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>into my therapist the other day and I go, Okay,

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you all this. And then what I

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>came into this session with I need you to put

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 1>my feet back on the ground. That was my thing

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that I knew that I walked into. I was like,

0:29:24.560 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I am, I haven't felt this way before, and I'm

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 1>just like I've got all these feels I was like,

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I need you to place my feet back on ground

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 1>because I know, like I know like of my past

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and my history and and you know, the sadness and

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:42.880
<v Speaker 1>all those things like I and I realized. But then

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the other piece of me is like I'm such a

0:29:45.720 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 1>hopeless romantic that I'm like, maybe maybe I did find

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:50.920
<v Speaker 1>my one and this is how it was because I

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't felt ever like this, So I'm like, maybe this

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>is what they say it's supposed to feel like because

0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't felt this, so and I'm like, it's

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 1>like it I'm being torn between Janna you know what

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>usually ends up happening, and also allowing myself to feel.

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 1>It's a dance. It's a dance for all of us,

0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:11.719
<v Speaker 1>any of us who have been through trauma or a

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of pain and a lot of hurt. It's always

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>that dance of of checking in with our hearts and

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 1>going like is this safe for me? Like? Does my

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>heart feel safe? I feel steamed? Why are my boundaries

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 1>being honored? Here? Am I honoring my boundaries? And so

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 1>for you, I think just some really solid advice is

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>to write down, like what are my boundaries? Like where

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>have I violated my boundaries in the past, and it's

0:30:38.480 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 1>gotten me into ship ton of trouble. How can I

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 1>not repeat it? And why I say write that down

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>because you're gonna hold that close to you so that

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 1>when the feelings come, you can look at that piece

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of paper and that's your accountability partner and going Okay,

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't go back here. I can't repeat this, I

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.360
<v Speaker 1>can't repeat that. It's like, okay, So boundary for you

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is you know, love bombing, Like no, you are familiar

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 1>with love on right where it's just like all of me,

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So okay, love on me. Okay. It may feel good.

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I may want to say I love you and all

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of those things, but that's not safe for my heart

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>right now, like that that hasn't worked out for me,

0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And so I have a responsibility to teach my little

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 1>girl inside. I'm going to create safe places for her

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to connect in. And if that means no more rushing in,

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 1>like that's on you, that's you breaking your boundaries. And

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like no, no, no, we're not breaking boundaries anymore.

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 1>We're honoring that little girl. We're creating a safe place

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 1>for her to be loved. No more experimenting, no more testing,

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>no we are creating safe places for her to receive love. Yeah.

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I love that. And I think another thing too that

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 1>my therapist Amy said was she goes, um, don't compromise

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>on things. She's like, sometimes you wanna make it work,

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and so you compromise things that are really important to you.

0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, no, Like I'm I am very clear

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of things that I want that I will not handle anymore.

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>And and regardless of how I feel butterflies, whatever, I

0:32:06.120 --> 0:32:08.480
<v Speaker 1>know now I'm in the place to go, Okay, this isn't,

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>this isn't this doesn't feel good, this doesn't feel safe.

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>This just happened. I don't like this, and I know

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 1>because I know at the end of the day, I'm

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:18.960
<v Speaker 1>never gonna be I'm not going to end up alone.

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay regardless, I don't need him. It feels great,

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 1>but um, yeah, like, I'm not going to compromise. I

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>would encourage you, and I hate to put people in boxes.

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But she's like, here's a real pretty pink one. The

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 1>challenge I find and I might get some heat for

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 1>saying this, but like I find with British people, I mean,

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I haven't. I watched the Megan Markle thing

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>yet on her Prince Harry. But the thing with I

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.959
<v Speaker 1>have encountered with British people, uh, is that you know,

0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a lot of like emotional capacity to

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:05.000
<v Speaker 1>do like intimacy in terms of connecting and stuff. There's

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of conditioning behind their their society that doesn't

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>really allow them to emotionally show up and to be

0:33:14.240 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>consistent and the tension of showing up vulnerably in our relationships.

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 1>What about Scottish Uh, I think that whole culture, you know,

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's a whole British culture. Like even Irish guys

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:30.640
<v Speaker 1>like they have to drink a lot to be able

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to like say what's going on in their hearts. And

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like come on, guys, But you know, I think

0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>times are changing. We're all work. I'm just saying, be mindful.

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Well that's also I mean, that's real though, because there

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 1>is cultural norms and every I mean, it's just that's

0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 1>just a real thing. Okay. I have a question about

0:33:47.120 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the three months, Yes, okay, So is it three months

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 1>because that's like as long as someone can stay before

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 1>they get kicked out? Or is it three months because

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you feel like that's when the honeymoon phase starts to

0:33:57.280 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of go away. Is that when we're getting the

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.000
<v Speaker 1>best team V Is that when we're getting like I

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.720
<v Speaker 1>mean and and Erica. Before you answer that one, you're

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>telling me not to this, but yet you're making someone

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 1>live with someone. I'm not going to live with him

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>for three be accelerator, like this is how you would

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 1>know whether or not this works or not. You know,

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it's I get in there, dive in, find out like

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:29.880
<v Speaker 1>everything immediately, so that three months. The reality is like

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 1>you cannot as Americans, we can't stay past ninety days,

0:34:34.160 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I had to get a long stay visa to

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:39.760
<v Speaker 1>live in France, so it's it's kind of strict um.

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.839
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is in those three months, especially when

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you're living with someone, like, you're gonna see all of it,

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the good, the bad, the ugly, the indifferent. You're gonna

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.280
<v Speaker 1>see all of it and you can make a solid

0:34:51.360 --> 0:35:06.040
<v Speaker 1>decision out of that. What do you think of the

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:09.800
<v Speaker 1>biggest red flag you've seen for when you first start dating?

0:35:10.920 --> 0:35:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I one what I said earlier about the love bombing

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 1>when people start giving you accolades and you had another

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:21.400
<v Speaker 1>expert on I can't remember his name, he was like

0:35:21.440 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 1>on The Bachelor or something. Zach Clark. No, not Zach Clark,

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Nick Nick Okay, he touched on this, and I agree

0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 1>with him. Like you know when someone when you meet

0:35:32.200 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>someone and they start saying like like you're just you know,

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.799
<v Speaker 1>you're you're so amazing and like the way that you

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.400
<v Speaker 1>see life, and it's like, hold on, I'm a stubby

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:43.920
<v Speaker 1>right there. You don't have enough history to know my character.

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't know my you haven't seen you know, the congruity.

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>So when that starts coming off very thick and very fast,

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, it's very Here's the thing. As human beings,

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 1>we all have a need to be seen, to be celebrated,

0:35:58.800 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>like that's okay, that's beautiful. But when someone's just diving

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:06.719
<v Speaker 1>in with that and they have no like real experience

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:09.960
<v Speaker 1>with you to validate all those things, it's like you're

0:36:10.040 --> 0:36:12.759
<v Speaker 1>jumping ahead of the gun here, Like slow your role.

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:18.919
<v Speaker 1>But what if I just had to cancel my order

0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 1>for matching? But what okay, when you finally feel like Joe, really,

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 1>can I hop on and cancel that? If? Okay, I

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 1>will say this. I dated someone earlier this year and

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I had this dating coach basically tell me you shouldn't

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 1>have butterflies when you first meet them. That's not real. Um,

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:54.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to take it really slow. And so I

0:36:54.680 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 1>followed these steps so precisely. M M. And I don't

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like that. Well here's the thing Erica probably does. But

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, but it was just like I didn't love BOM.

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I didn't do these things, and for me,

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.879
<v Speaker 1>it was like I never had that. I mean, I

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't really I think I'm not saying taking as slow

0:37:19.680 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 1>as it was killed it, but it was just I

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:27.799
<v Speaker 1>think you're missing that. I think that that was so

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:31.239
<v Speaker 1>good for you because then it gave you time to

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 1>see that it wasn't right for me personally, I have

0:37:36.920 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 1>to have that butterfly feeling when I meet someone. I

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:42.719
<v Speaker 1>really feel like I do, because I didn't have that

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>at first, and there was so there was no spark.

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 1>There was no one. I know, spark comes with time

0:37:48.320 --> 0:37:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and intimacy and all those things, but I hear what

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, kind I do. I just I'm like, I

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>personally feel like my person is going to be someone

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:02.360
<v Speaker 1>when I have that that immense energy and connection and

0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:06.399
<v Speaker 1>spark with I don't know. It's my marriage eight years

0:38:06.400 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 1>ago was the love bombing and the spark. We really

0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:12.000
<v Speaker 1>went all in. I mean when when you're saying all this,

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:14.239
<v Speaker 1>I was like that was us. Like he's like, I

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 1>see your soul. Two kids later, Erica um and eight

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.399
<v Speaker 1>years of marriage later, so like can it's so so

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 1>so can we talk about both sides of that, like

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:29.399
<v Speaker 1>side actually it really truly being like the whole my god,

0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I've never felt like blah blah, and then the other

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>side going I need that piece to really to know

0:38:36.280 --> 0:38:40.719
<v Speaker 1>that it's like my one right. So here's the thing.

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:43.560
<v Speaker 1>We all have different stories, and I imagine that your

0:38:43.600 --> 0:38:47.799
<v Speaker 1>story is very different from Janna's story. So Janna is

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 1>on the journey of rebuilding trust in herself because reality is,

0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 1>we go through a lot of heartbreaks, we go a

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of stepbacks, go through a lot of stepbacks. Essentially

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>we stopped trusting ourselves. So if you could look at

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 1>your journey of dating and relationships of like I'm learning

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to retrust me this that these people who are showing

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.800
<v Speaker 1>up in my dating world, like they are all coming

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:14.319
<v Speaker 1>to support me so that I get to reclaim all

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the parts of me and start trusting myself again, So

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 1>in your specific in your specific situation, I would say,

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I love that the you know that he was full

0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:27.160
<v Speaker 1>on with you and he shared his heart with you

0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and all those things, and I think that that's great.

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>But I think that for you, Jane, I think that

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys have very different stories and so that that's

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be the best course of action for you.

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 1>M hm. And she have a little butterfly. Yeah, So

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:45.799
<v Speaker 1>of course, like, listen, you want to be excited about someone,

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not saying that. Like there there are

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 1>one book that I would highly recommend to you is

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 1>called Betrayal Bonding. It it's amazing. Yeah, I read, It's fantastic.

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:03.479
<v Speaker 1>It huge, and so it's like it's a great book

0:40:03.480 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>if you want to read. It's so good, Yeah, because

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it talks about like essentially, it's like sometimes when we

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.440
<v Speaker 1>get tons of butterflies, it's like trauma bonding more than

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:16.879
<v Speaker 1>it is an actual bond with the person. So it's like, yeah,

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to be excited, like if there's just nothing

0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:25.560
<v Speaker 1>there with the person, what inspires you to keep pursuing them?

0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 1>But that can't be everything. It's like you don't turn

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:30.919
<v Speaker 1>off your head in the midst of these feelings. It's

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:34.680
<v Speaker 1>just like you know, for you, your therapist said, you know,

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:37.920
<v Speaker 1>no more compromising, not going back and trying to like

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 1>make a square peg and or you know, was it

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:43.000
<v Speaker 1>square peg, round hole like the like that's not going

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 1>to work for you. But yes, of course you're gonna

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 1>want to feel good with the other person, but it

0:40:47.520 --> 0:40:49.640
<v Speaker 1>cannot be the end all be all. That cannot be

0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:53.840
<v Speaker 1>with driving the relationship. But also can't you feel that

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but also go slow? Yeah, I think so what Amy

0:40:57.280 --> 0:40:59.759
<v Speaker 1>said to my therapist, she's like, there's no rush in

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>anything and and and I think for me, it's like

0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:07.399
<v Speaker 1>again because I haven't felt this certain piece that I'm like, oh,

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.360
<v Speaker 1>it feels great, and I just want to relish in

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:12.320
<v Speaker 1>it whether it works or it doesn't, because it feels

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:15.800
<v Speaker 1>good and it feels I feel hopeful for a future

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.439
<v Speaker 1>either with or without, just knowing that like I didn't

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 1>think I could feel this feeling. That's the piece that

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, it just gives me like joy and like

0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:30.799
<v Speaker 1>hope to know my heart isn't just this jaded wall. Yeah,

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is more so let's not transfer

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:38.399
<v Speaker 1>that all over to this person's let's honor you and

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that and say like, hey, I've been through a lot

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of ships, but I'm working with a therapist, hiring a

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:47.080
<v Speaker 1>day to coach, you know, red, I'm reading the books,

0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:50.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing the work, you know, and my heart has

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the capacity to feel this. Wow, what a champion I

0:41:54.040 --> 0:41:58.879
<v Speaker 1>am that I didn't let these past situations completely tear

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 1>me apart, but that there's a champion. There's this warrior

0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:05.160
<v Speaker 1>heart that I have that can still allow love to

0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 1>come in. Yeay to me. Yeah, I love that. See

0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that feels empowering, feels true. Yeah, I like that. I

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:21.400
<v Speaker 1>think it's fascinating that your heart is still tender despite

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.880
<v Speaker 1>all that it's been through. Because I have to be

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>honest with you. When I'm working with people, the people

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:30.480
<v Speaker 1>who start shut they shut down, they become victims everyone.

0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:33.880
<v Speaker 1>There's like this sense of entitlement, like all of those things, pride,

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:36.480
<v Speaker 1>all those things. I'm like, oh, honey, like you don't

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 1>need a relationship. You need to just decide whether or

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:41.800
<v Speaker 1>not you're gonna be a victim and blame the world

0:42:41.920 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>or take some personal responsibility for you. The fact that

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you've been able to keep your heart soft despite everything

0:42:48.400 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 1>that you've been through. Wow, look at you. See we

0:42:57.719 --> 0:43:00.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about this last week. I said, it's inspired into

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:01.799
<v Speaker 1>me that you have a heart that's brave enough to

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:09.400
<v Speaker 1>go love again. Yeah, and what beautiful, what a champion

0:43:09.480 --> 0:43:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you are, And like, I just really want to honor

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:15.720
<v Speaker 1>you because I was researching you online and I was like, damn,

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:19.759
<v Speaker 1>she is being so honest with her story and so

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.200
<v Speaker 1>brave to share the things that she shares, and like,

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you have no idea how you're like paving the path

0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 1>for so many other women who have unspoken stories that

0:43:31.200 --> 0:43:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you've been so brave to share. But what's beautiful about

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:37.319
<v Speaker 1>you is that you've kept your heart tender and you've

0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:40.920
<v Speaker 1>kept your heart open in the process. That's the ultimate

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.120
<v Speaker 1>role model because I see so much where people have

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gone through stuff and it's just like I'm the victim

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:48.439
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm going to take down everyone who has

0:43:48.520 --> 0:43:50.799
<v Speaker 1>these kind of red flags. I've never and it's like

0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not that's giving them all the power. But

0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:58.319
<v Speaker 1>you to go through what you've been through and to

0:43:58.440 --> 0:44:01.920
<v Speaker 1>remain so tender is Wow. You're showing people how to

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:07.720
<v Speaker 1>do life through the heart and that's powerful. That life

0:44:07.719 --> 0:44:11.120
<v Speaker 1>through the heart, Eric, are you allowed to tell us

0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:21.840
<v Speaker 1>has anybody stayed together past the three months? Oh? Christ here, Crystal,

0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:25.000
<v Speaker 1>everything the chats lighting up. I shouldn't have asked you that.

0:44:25.040 --> 0:44:28.399
<v Speaker 1>I just want to know. Yeah, I wish I could

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 1>tell that's okay. I didn't want I just I don't

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:37.320
<v Speaker 1>even need locations. If anybody has made it, it's it's juicy,

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 1>like everyone's been saying like, oh, everyone's just playing nice

0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:44.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, and everything's like, I think this is going

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to start hitting the fan. I really do. I know

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 1>what I'm gonna be watching. I'm just going to download

0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:54.799
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff that are out so far. Yeah, I

0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:57.719
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to get intense, but we'll see, we'll see. Erica,

0:44:57.800 --> 0:44:59.959
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for coming on and just share

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:02.440
<v Speaker 1>ar your wisdom and your words and you're beautiful and

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 1>just thank you. And I'm excited to now binge the

0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.719
<v Speaker 1>episodes that are already out and continue to watch. So

0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. Filming her own episode of love

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:19.319
<v Speaker 1>with that border, let's guess I would. I really want

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to know how it goes, Okay, Yeah, I will. I

0:45:21.440 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>will d M you because I just I love you

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and your soul. So thank you don't listen to the

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:30.919
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this podcast. When you listen, we didn't say

0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:37.280
<v Speaker 1>anything opposite of what you said. That's why I think

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>it's holding space for both. But then coming back to

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>your feet and I think it's again it's okay to

0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:43.239
<v Speaker 1>feel and then just and they got to hold some

0:45:43.280 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 1>things in and take me. I did back on the ground.

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I had the Saturay night Life moment though, where she

0:45:47.640 --> 0:45:48.800
<v Speaker 1>was like, you don't say I love you, and you

0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:53.000
<v Speaker 1>guys land and You're like, I love you. That's happening,

0:45:54.960 --> 0:45:57.799
<v Speaker 1>beauty is Janet. You can say you can you can

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:00.160
<v Speaker 1>use your voice in the whole process. Hey, I want

0:46:00.239 --> 0:46:02.640
<v Speaker 1>to say I love you right now, but that's not

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:07.280
<v Speaker 1>safe for me. So I feel it like be honest,

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:11.399
<v Speaker 1>like talk for your heart, but still talk through your boundaries.

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:14.319
<v Speaker 1>It's like, hey, I want to do this, but it's

0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:17.600
<v Speaker 1>probably not the best idea, right keep him in the loop,

0:46:17.680 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 1>like this is where I am, this is what's going on.

0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to say these things, but I have a

0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:25.319
<v Speaker 1>history and that's probably not the safest thing to do

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:27.439
<v Speaker 1>for me right now. That's really good advice no matter

0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:35.400
