1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Call It What It Is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Luddington,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio podcast.

3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: Well, Hello, Hello, hello.

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 3: And welcome to another episode of Call It Short and Sweet.

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 4: What's Up?

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: What's Up? Today? We have dedicated the episode to a

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: fan Q and A. The Call It crew have always

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: always give us the best material, and so why not

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: dedicate an episode two questions that you have that Jessica

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: and I can dive right into.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: This is where we also remind you that we are

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: unlicensed to advise. Nothing gives us any sort of special

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: reason why we should be able to answer your questions.

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: But at this point, if you've written in, then there

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: must be something that you feel like you get from us,

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: and so.

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: We're here to give it. Yep.

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: All right, We're going to.

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Start with Sydney, who wrote in and said, Hi, Camilla

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: and Jessica, my boyfriend and I are planning on getting

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: engaged within six months to a year. I am so excited.

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: He is the man of my dreams and I truly

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: think we pair together so well. But we had a

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: conversation the other night and he told me that I

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: was his third favorite person in the world, behind his

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: mom and sister. I love both of them so much,

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: so I'm glad that they're going to be part of

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: my future family. But I am struggling with the thought

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: of being third. I always told myself I would be

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: in a relationship and a marriage where we put each

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: other first and pick each other every day, and I

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: feel like that ninety percent of the time with his actions,

33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: but him saying that has been stuck.

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: In my head for weeks.

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Now Do I wait it out until closer to an

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: engagement to say anything, or is it something I bring

37
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: up now? Or am I out of line for wanting

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: to be number one? Thank you guys so much for

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: your advice and for being so open and honest in

40
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: these podcasts.

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: I'll tell you the thing has stuck out to me, actually,

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: was she feels like ninety percent of the time his

43
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: actions show that she's first, right, and this comment is

44
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: throwing her a little. I personally would want a little

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: maybe clarification. It's hard. That's family, that's who he's grown

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: up with. Of course he loves those women in his life, right.

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: I think there's a natural situation.

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: Are you wondering if ninety percents enough?

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that her ninety percent. Is I feel like

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: that ninety percent the time with its actions, But him

51
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: saying that has stuck in my head for weeks now.

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: I think the ten percent is the comment.

53
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: So ten percent of the time she feels like she's third,

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: you think so so specific by the way, I think

55
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I was sort of more excrecting, like I'm second behind mom,

56
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: but mom and sister, I.

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: Think is I know, the sister part's really a little

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: bit strange. I mean, I love my siblings, but you know,

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: come on, come on now, if you're going to get engaged.

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: But my point is as a relationship progresses, I think,

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: you know, if you get married and then you're having children,

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: the mother of your children and your wife should be

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: number one. That's how it should be for sure. So

64
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if this will just be a natural rearrangement

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: of this order. But it's bizarre he even said it

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 3: in the first place.

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of feel like that's one of those

68
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: things where if I were, if I were a friend

69
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: of his, I'd be like, you can tuck that in,

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: tuck it in there. You don't need to say that,

71
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 1: Like you don't need to be that explicit because I mean,

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because I talk about this a lot,

73
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: but I grew up. You know, my mom was single

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: for a big part of my younger years, and it was,

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, very much a lot of being like she

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: and I against the world. And when you have one

77
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: parent that's everything to you.

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: For sure. There's a sort of very.

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Strong bond there that I think is not only lovely

80
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: but necessary, right and great. That being said, is you

81
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: mature as you get older, whereas I might have in

82
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: my younger years been like I can't even imagine loving

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: so one as much as I love my mom.

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: You do.

85
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: You end up falling in love with your person, and

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: then you do love them more than anyone, and they

87
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: become your number one. And I mean, listen, also, a

88
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: little bit like someone asking someone to like rank their

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: beloved is a little bit like, I don't think we

90
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: need to do that. But in the in the mom category,

91
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: she was my number one, and in my partner category,

92
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Christopher was my number one. So it's like, I think

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: that you got to just be a little bit Maybe

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think that the literal part of it,

95
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: it could get a little sticky, So I don't know,

96
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: that you need to like wait to get engaged to

97
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: bring up something that's bothering you. I think that if

98
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: you have something that is you're bumping on and you're

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: thinking about spending in the rest of your life with someone,

100
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: I think that you you say, like, hey, not a

101
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: big deal, but I'm a little bit bumping on this.

102
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

103
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 3: I don't think it's breakup worthy.

104
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: No, but I would be like, tell tell me more,

105
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: like mom and sister, I think. And I'd also think

106
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I maybe would be playful about it.

107
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too, I I and I I. Yeah,

108
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: I would want him to explain a little bit more

109
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: because maybe there's also a misunderstanding of what that really

110
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: means to him.

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you never know someone's you never know what

112
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: someone's going through, And there might be something where, you know,

113
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: he feels like he has to be there for his

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: mother and sister, you know, through thick and kat and

115
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: for the rest of their lives. Right, might be like

116
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: a protector thing might be like a that's a stupid

117
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: thing to say, but I mean like not like protector thing,

118
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: but like it might be a might be a dynamic

119
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: that was created in their home life where it was

120
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: you know he's always going to be the one that's,

121
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, fronting up for them or.

122
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: Who knows because he doesn't say he doesn't say his dad.

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: No, he doesn't say his dad. Yeah, what's the dynamic there?

124
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: I'd get curious, And when I think, I'd ask about

125
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: the dynamic because I also think that understood you're thinking

126
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: about the thing.

127
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: The rest of your life with someone.

128
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Understanding the dynamic early on is only going to benefit you,

129
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: you know.

130
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: Because because it will.

131
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: And if you end up spending again the rest of

132
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: your life with someone and then you have you know,

133
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: you get into deep partnership and then marriage, and then

134
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: if there's children, then you want to understand, like you

135
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: want to get the operating instructions and you want to

136
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: get the roadmap to that dynamic and sort of get

137
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: understand what it is about them that makes him feel

138
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: like he has to make mom and.

139
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: Sister one and two.

140
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, yeah, yeah, I don't think these things are

141
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: so black and white, and I think that, Yeah, I

142
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: think you're just it's you get curious, just like you said,

143
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: and you have a conversation.

144
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: And also I'm gonna tell you something I don't want

145
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: to be anyone who I'm in love with, I do

146
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: not want to be their number three.

147
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: No, yes, but I think we have to. That's why

148
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: I think you have to get curious, like you said,

149
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 3: and have a conversation because is it really a ranking

150
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: of and I love you less? Like or what is

151
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: this ranking? Do you know what I mean?

152
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: Like?

153
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: What does this exactly mean to you? And listen? If

154
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: you're number three in like the amount of love he's

155
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: giving to you, then you can reassess.

156
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I guess i'd want to know more

157
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: about that too, because maybe if it's it's if it's

158
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: in priorities, I want to know that, like if I'm

159
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: a third, like if mom and sister needs you, then yeah,

160
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: and I need you? Will I be third in line

161
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: to get what I need? Because that's the point that

162
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: I want to be with someone who I'm first.

163
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's you start the conversation of what

164
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: the sale all means? Okay, Marcy wrote, Hi, ladies, love

165
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: the podcast so far. I know. In one of the

166
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: earlier episodes, Jessica Mens mentioned she used to be a

167
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: people pleaser. If you're comfortable, could you share how you

168
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: were able to stop being a people pleaser, and do

169
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: both of you have any advice on how to stop

170
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: being a people pleaser. I'm a big time people pleaser

171
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: to the point where I'm not putting myself first when

172
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: I need to, especially now that I'm a mom and

173
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: have trouble setting boundaries with people regarding what's best for

174
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: my baby. So I don't want my people pleasing affecting

175
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: my baby girl now too.

176
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Please help, Oh, I get that. Yes, I have said that.

177
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: I the way that I was put together was pretty

178
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: people pleasery and skewed tho way for so many different reasons,

179
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: which and the the reason I bring that up is

180
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: because I think it's really important to get to the

181
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: root of things sometimes to understand why something is before

182
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: you figure out how to either dismantle it or change it.

183
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: So I think that that was really important to me. Like,

184
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: why am I a people pleaser? Well, I mean, I

185
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: can tell you all the reasons I was people pleaser,

186
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: and some of them were sort of random and some

187
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: of them were very specific, but typically oldest.

188
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: Daughters and families or people pleasers.

189
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Again, I had two single parents. I was going back

190
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: and forth between households, so I sort of always had

191
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: to make things okay. So anyways, you get my point,

192
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: there's a route to people pleasing and then then you're

193
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: a grown up and you're like, oh my gosh, I

194
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: put everyone first and I'm making sure that everybody is

195
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: okay before I make sure that I'm okay. And I

196
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a percentage that that works for forever,

197
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: but my guess would be that that is a personality

198
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: trait or type that gets to the point where at

199
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: some point or another you're in a near exhaustion and

200
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: just not be able to handle it all.

201
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: So if that happens to you, and when that happened

202
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: to me, again, I love therapy.

203
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: I got really interested in why I was the way

204
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: that I am, or why I was the way that

205
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: I was, So what is it about my development that

206
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: created this condition on some level or this personality? And

207
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: then when I was able to do that, I was

208
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: really able to understand how to interrupt the cycle.

209
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: And a lot of instances it was.

210
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: Just to have it.

211
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: I would default to. You know, someone didn't even have

212
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: to ask me to do it, and I would volunteer

213
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: it so I couldn't even be upset with the person.

214
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: For you know, putting it on me or asking me

215
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: to people please. I was like, I just went ahead

216
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: and threw myself out there on my own.

217
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: I have a question, were you people pleasing to the

218
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: point of exhaustion? Sometimes that's well.

219
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: When I got to exhaustion is when I started really

220
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: looking at it. M yeah, just like what is going on?

221
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: Because this is because it would you know why, because

222
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: it no longer became sustainable. I remember there being a

223
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: very clear moment of my life again with I remember

224
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: there being a very clear moment of my life with

225
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: four children where my whole entire life I had been

226
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: able to operate without a calendar. I didn't have to

227
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: put things on a Google cal I didn't have to

228
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: write everything down. I could just remember everything that I

229
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: had to do, and it was completely seamless, and I

230
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: remembered it all and I knew where everyone had to

231
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: be blah blah blah. And then there came a time

232
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: where it was overwhelming and I was disappointing people because

233
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't showing up on time, where I'd forgot that

234
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: this thing was there or whatever, and it was very

235
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: much time for me to get a Google calendar, and

236
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: it changed my life and so now everything goes into

237
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: my paper planner or my Google calend sometimes both. And

238
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: it was sort of that moment like I needed to

239
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of times when you yourself a crisis moment

240
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: of being being like, I'm setting myself on fire to

241
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: keep everybody else warm, and I don't want to do

242
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: that anymore because it's not sustainable and it's not good

243
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: for me, and it's not good for them. So even

244
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: if they were benefiting from my people pleasing, it actually

245
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: wasn't good for them because it wasn't good for me.

246
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: And if you're in a real relationship that it can't

247
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: be good for one person and not good for the other.

248
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: So then I looked at what I was doing or sorry,

249
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: then I looked at how again how it was sort

250
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: of created, and then not understanding how it was created,

251
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: I looked at the habits that I had or the

252
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: ways in which I did it without even knowing I

253
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: was doing it, and I just became really aware and

254
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: I said.

255
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: To myself and to others that I was working on it.

256
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: And then it was sort of piece by piece, and

257
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: I think that there's I think that I mean, correct

258
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, because you're my friend and we're

259
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: in relationship right. There have been other times where things

260
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: like this have happened. I always find it kind of

261
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: charming when I have a friend who's working on something

262
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: or identify something that they are that they're doing, and

263
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: they come to me and say.

264
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: There's this thing I do. And sometimes it affects me.

265
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Like I say yes to everything that you know you

266
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: want to do before I even think about it. And

267
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: the truth is, like we do more things that you

268
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: want to do than things that I want to do.

269
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: And I think there's something kind of charming about being

270
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: vulnerable about that and like naming it and then letting

271
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: the person that clearly cares about you say, oh my gosh,

272
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: you are and then almost you could enlist them to

273
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: help you, Like, hey, when you see me doing that thing,

274
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: when you see me trying to do it all, can

275
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: you please tell me to slow my role?

276
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: Can you tell me to like put down the.

277
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Baby, put down the thing down, and just like see

278
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: if there's some way that you can help me out

279
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: in that moment, Like I need to just sort of

280
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: like write my ship.

281
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 3: I think this is I think this is such. I've

282
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: just been listening this whole time. I think this is

283
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: such incredible advice because I think that you can't fix

284
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: anything until you get to the root of it. Is

285
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: what you're saying, So why are you people pleasing? Where

286
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: does that come from? And then I agree, telling people

287
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: around you, like, hey, I have this thing I'm working

288
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: on and enlisting them is really helpful because then you

289
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 3: feel like you're not disappointing people and that they're part

290
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: of this process with you. And you have a little one,

291
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: and so a lot of your energy goes into not

292
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: people pleasing your kid, but like so much you give

293
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: already so much of yourself to your children, so you've

294
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: got to like leave something for yourself. And I think

295
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: that if you're overly people pleasing all the time, you're

296
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: giving away pieces of yourself, right, like you said, So,

297
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: I think this is incredible advice, all of that, all

298
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: of it.

299
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Well, I think there's the other thing because she mentions

300
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: being a mom in the trouble setting boundaries, And I'm

301
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: making this up in my mind because this is something

302
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I went through. But a lot of times, you know,

303
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: generational things will change or shift and things won't be good.

304
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: There's a million if you want some real entertainment. There's

305
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: a million different very hilarious like videos where you know,

306
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: a millennial daughter will be with her boomer mom and

307
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: the millennial mom will be telling the boomer mom like

308
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: what she can and can't do with her baby, and

309
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: it's all hilarious and oh, yes, you're just talking about

310
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: But a lot of times when you're figuring out how

311
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: you want your baby's life to be, right, like when

312
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: you want them to eat, or how you want them

313
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: to dress, or just all of it, you I get it.

314
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: You could be people pleased to read with people you love.

315
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: And you can just go along with what they want

316
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: or what they say, but you might have stronger opinions.

317
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: And again I think that just say it, Just say

318
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: like listen, I'm trying to do my best and I heard,

319
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, I heard nonstick skillets aren't great, and I

320
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: know that that's all we have at home, but like,

321
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: could you know, could you could you help me out here?

322
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: Like could you look at this and like see if

323
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: you think the science is interesting or you think that

324
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: this is I don't know, compelling on some level, because

325
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: I think the invitation to be in hoots with you

326
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: is always one that is usually looked up one favorably agreed.

327
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: I love that I was at answer love that all right?

328
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: Read that we have one more.

329
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Kayla, Kayla, Hi, Jessica and Camilla. I'm writing to

330
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: you from Finland. I moved here last year from South Africa.

331
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: I know, a big, big move. My questions relate to

332
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: moving and building community and new places. How would you

333
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: both advise to keep up relationships with people far away

334
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: and to cope with missing family and friends.

335
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: Another question I have.

336
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: Is how would you guys approach building a new community

337
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: in a new culture, and in my case there is

338
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: a new language as well and crazy weather.

339
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: That's a big question.

340
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: Kayla, you're in it well.

341
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: First off, what I would do because I've moved continents

342
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: and been away from family and friends, so this is

343
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: my jam. I've done this many times. I think it's

344
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: always good if you can afford right and take the

345
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: time off. I think it's always good to plan a

346
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: trip so that when you're having that missing moment, you

347
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: know that at this time that you have something to

348
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 3: look forward to when you're all going to be together.

349
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: And this sounds ridiculous, but during COVID I could not

350
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: see my family. I didn't see them for almost I

351
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: want to say a year and a half two years.

352
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: We made quiz nights on FaceTime with my family, and

353
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: so one of us would be in charge of like

354
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: a quiz night, and we would write down questions and

355
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: we would all get on FaceTime and we would literally

356
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: do these little quizzes together and it was really fun.

357
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: We had a family like game night basically, and it

358
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: was fun for all of us to get together. And

359
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: it was just such a simple thing. But it made

360
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: me kind of feel like I had hung out with

361
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: my family. I'd pour a glass of wine, we'd laugh,

362
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: we'd go through all these questions, and then we'd say bye.

363
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: But God bless technology. Now, I think there's ways to

364
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: make your family feel like they're close to you, your

365
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: friends feel like they're close to you. Put in the

366
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: effort make those calls. I've had times when I've zoomed

367
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: with girlfriends FaceTime with girlfriends, I've been like, do you

368
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: want a wine night? And I'm literally pouring a wine

369
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: and starting a movie with them the same time. We

370
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: learned all these things during COVID. I feel like too

371
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: with friends also, But I think try and make a

372
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: trip if you can, and in the meantime use technology

373
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 3: to your advantage and get creative about how to maintain

374
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 3: these relationships and make it feel cute with your family

375
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: and your friends.

376
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's that's all incredibly good advice.

377
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: I love it.

378
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, you know, going back to our

379
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: origin story, Camila and I used to see each other

380
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: at least every week because we'd see each other at work.

381
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: And then I moved and there is a little bit

382
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: of a speedbump, right, there's a new habit to learn,

383
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: which is calling each other. Well, we had to deal

384
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: with the time zone, which, even though three hours doesn't

385
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: seem like a big deal, you know, the end of

386
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: nearing the end of my day is she's squarely in

387
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: the middle of hers.

388
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: But you just sort of persist.

389
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: So the people that mean the most to you you

390
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: will actually never lose the inclination to call.

391
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: And it's so great because they're outside of your.

392
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: System and you can check in with them about, you know,

393
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: funny and curious things to you. I think new community

394
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: in a new culture and new language.

395
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 2: I would say, for me, your first most important situation

396
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: is the language.

397
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: But go for that first because that will be, you know,

398
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: the beginning of everything with everyone else and for everything else.

399
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: So I would say, if I was prioritizing, I would

400
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: get some real familiarity with the language. If you're anything

401
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: like me, I love learning it and I can be

402
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: great on the dual lingo or reading it or writing it.

403
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: But then when I'm actually in conversation, I totally freeze

404
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: and I get self conscious and I'm unsure. Camilla has

405
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: been with me in France a couple times, so she

406
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: knows what this is like. That being said, just lean

407
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: into it and again, and everyone's going to find it

408
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: so charming that you're trying, and that's all that really matters.

409
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: And I don't know what your.

410
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: Situation is, but I would say, you know, if you're working,

411
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: then I would just if there's work, friend to be

412
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: had or made, if there's oh, she's gonna say it again,

413
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: a gym to join, yeah, a class.

414
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: I do have to say this. I can say this.

415
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: When I moved to Los Angeles, I realized very soon

416
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: that if I wanted to deep dive into the Brits

417
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: here in Los Angeles there was very much a community

418
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: of like getting together as Brits and you know, like

419
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 3: that expat kind of like group, like meet at the

420
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: pub together. We all move from England. I'm sure there

421
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 3: is a version of that in any country wherever you're from,

422
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: where you can literally google and find people from wherever

423
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: you are, wherever you move from, and if you're sort

424
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: of missing your own community, right and you can get together.

425
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: And it was nice because I did meet people that way,

426
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: and so when you know, the UK, when England was

427
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: playing in the World Cup, we'd all get together at

428
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: the pub and watch together.

429
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: Have a pint, have a pint, hey cheery out, Not really,

430
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 4: but that's fun when I'm back in nineteen fifty a, yeah,

431
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 4: I have yeah, have cup to day.

432
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 3: But there's always community, right, like even your own community

433
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: if you're missing it. So I think that that is

434
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: also a way to set roots down, fun and find

435
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: some people that are in a similar situation to you.

436
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

437
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh and you're the last piece, which was the

438
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: crazy weather. So I remember my first year here, I

439
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: just looked around at everybody at all their gear.

440
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: Like how do you know when to where?

441
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: Because there were so many times that I wore the

442
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: wrong thing and didn't have I ended up with the

443
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: with the loafers that will look like tiny swimming pools.

444
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: You know where. I just didn't have the right thing.

445
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 2: So again, I don't know.

446
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: I think that there's always just something you said for

447
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: asking a lot of questions. I mean, don't be annoying,

448
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: but ask a lot of questions.

449
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

450
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: Also, just I think moving is so exciting. I do too,

451
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: and I always say this to everybody. Always go home, Yes,

452
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: home as always there. You can always go home. I'm

453
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: a little.

454
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 2: Jealous of the newness though.

455
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: It's such a fantastic moment. My gosh, it's so exciting.

456
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: Possibilities are endless.

457
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,199
