Speaker 3: so our first season of twenty twenty.

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: See.

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but these first three months

45
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty have just been a lot. It feels

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: like it's been years instead of months, Like so much

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: has happened.

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: Girl.

49
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, it feels like three decades, okay,

50
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 2: and now I know three three months, it feels like

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: three decades in past.

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Seriously, yet it's just been way too much.

53
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, girl, it has. It's been a lot. It's been

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: a lot. I feel like I've had a lot of

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: time to think because I can't go nowhere really, you

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean, you can't do too much. I've

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: been taking walks and stuff like that. But I mean

58
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: when you think about the day to day and what

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: life usually looks like compared to now, I feel like

60
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: I have a lot more time to think and sometimes

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm restless, right, But I think that that's one thing

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: I've noticed with myself and like even my colleagues', is

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: like our life has changed drastically, and now it's like

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: what do you do? What's on your mind? Like what

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: do you do when all these things come up? Right? Right?

66
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that even just within the last

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: two weeks, things have changed drastically, and like normally when

68
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: we are doing a season finale episode, and we're looking

69
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: back over the last three months. We can look back

70
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and we can say, oh, that seemed the beginning of

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the first month seems so far away. But then once

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: we start like looking through everything, it just seems like, oh, yeah, well,

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't that far away. But something about

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: this time period, even before things with COVID nineteen kind

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: of took off, even before then, it just seemed like

76
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty was starting out just to be one of

77
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: those doozies of a year. And that's not clinical, that's

78
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: not a clinical term, but we're just gonna go with it.

79
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: It's a doozy of a year.

80
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: And so I think, you know, one of the things

81
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: that I remember us talking about as we were planning

82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: out twenty twenty is that we wanted things with the

83
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: podcast to even be a little bit different, to try

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: and grow from what we were doing in twenty nineteen.

85
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: And so I think one of the things that we

86
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: want to do is not dive into every single episode

87
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: as we're doing as we're reviewing season five, but kind

88
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: of hit on some of the major episodes. And so

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: t when you reflect back over what feels like the

90
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: last thirty years of your life for season five? Is

91
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: there any particular theme or themes that come up for

92
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: you in terms of reflecting back on the episodes.

93
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: You know what I think about? I think there are

94
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm not just saying this because this

95
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: is our podcast. We really had a really like our

96
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: season five was lit. We covered so many topics. I

97
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: think I can't even name one favorite, but the themes I'll

98
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: call out are one is just like personal development. And

99
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: when I say personal development, what it makes me think

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: about is our first episode of the year when we

101
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: talked about creating a twenty twenty vision for your life, right,

102
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: I gave some best practices on how do you create

103
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: this vision?

104
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: Right?

105
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Like, what does that even look like? In action? I

106
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: think oftentimes people will create vision boards and they get

107
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: really excited about the goals, right because it's sexy. When

108
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: you're thinking about the goals, that's the easy part. All

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: you got to do is lay back in dream and

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I want to do this, I want

111
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: to do that, I want to go here. But then

112
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: when it gets to the action, that's when people fall off, right,

113
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: And it's natural. I think that's the difference between the

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: people that go out and get it and the people

115
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: that typically don't take any action or they say stagnant, right,

116
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: And so I think about that episode, I think about

117
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: the other episode where we touched on, oh get ready

118
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: for this one, Dom, we touched on how your words

119
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: are creating your current reality? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

120
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: That was a real one. That was an emotional episode,

121
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: but it was real.

122
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things that I, you know,

123
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: when I look, I know that we go and we

124
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: look at the statistics for our episodes to kind of

125
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: get a sense of what are topics that are resonating

126
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: with people, and that episode is one of our most

127
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: downloaded episodes. And so to me, what that says is

128
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: that for a lot of us listening, our words really

129
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: are powerful. Our words truly do have more meaning than

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: sometimes we give them credit for.

131
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, that's right, John, I would agree with that.

132
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: And then don what about you? What themes come up

133
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: for you when you think about our themes that EA

134
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: stood out to you or season five.

135
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I like that concept that theme that you mentioned of

136
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: like personal development, and I think that like that's the

137
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: if I look at it, if I'm like envisioning like

138
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: the whiteboard in a classroom, and I see personal development

139
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: as like the top heading, and underneath that, I see

140
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: different aspects of our health as one subhetting. And there

141
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: are multiple episodes that we covered that looked at various

142
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: aspects of our health. And so I think about episode

143
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: two where we had Constance Carter on there as one

144
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: of our guests, and she talked about our financial health.

145
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: And what I appreciated about Constance is that she's not

146
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: someone who comes from a family that has always been

147
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: wealthy and then coming in and trying to make people

148
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: feel shame about some of their financial choices. I appreciated

149
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: how she was able to share that she didn't always

150
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: make the right decisions when it came to her finances,

151
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: which happens to a lot of us. Like we all

152
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: at some point make a decision that might not be

153
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: the best for our financial health. And so I think

154
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: that like she came with a perspective that lacked judgment,

155
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: and I hope that that resonated for our listeners as

156
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: much as it resonated with me.

157
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would definitely agree with that. That was a

158
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: really good episode, And one of the quotes that really

159
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: stood out to me is when Constance said, when you

160
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: say things like I'm broke, you're telling the universe to

161
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: keep you in the state of lack, and you're programming

162
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: your mind to keep you there. And kind of going

163
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: this kind of ties into the episode that I talked

164
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: about as far as your words creating your reality. But

165
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: then what Constance says here, sometimes we grow up we

166
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: have such a bad habit of saying something even though

167
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: it's not true, or it might be true, but we

168
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: just speak it into existence constantly, right, and we're just

169
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: putting that energy out And I try to be mindful

170
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: of that today, don But you know how you get

171
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: so used to saying things like oh, I'm so tired,

172
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: or ooh I'm dead tired, or just like little things

173
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: that we say, and we just it just becomes so

174
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: natural that you you you don't even really think about

175
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 2: what you're saying. But it's like that still has an impact, right,

176
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: the universe. Don't know if you plan or not, you

177
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: know what I mean, It just takes what you're say

178
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: and it's like, right, that's how we're gonna move today.

179
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: You're tired, Okay, we gonna That's what we're leaning into.

180
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: That's what you're telling your body, and so I think

181
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: it's really powerful to find the balance between holding space

182
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: for yourself to feel your emotions and then speaking into

183
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: existence the things that you really want, right, I think

184
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: it's a fine balance between those two.

185
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: It definitely, it definitely is. And so I think once

186
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: we move from that, one of the things that we

187
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: also have to speak into existence or think about, Like

188
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: when you mentioned I'm tired, like what came up for me.

189
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: Was our physical health mm hm.

190
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: And how we had multiple episodes that going back to

191
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: my umbrella of my cat, how I categorize things in

192
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: my mind are category of health and like their's, and

193
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: so physical health is another subcategory within that. And we

194
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: had two episodes where we dove into different aspects of

195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: our physical health. And we had two dynamic guests. So

196
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: for our episode with reducing Shame and Stigma around STDs

197
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: with doctor Joy Cooper, So doctor Joy Cooper was on

198
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: season four talking about fibroids. But we had to bring

199
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: her back because not only does she have a specialty

200
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: in gynecology, but within that, she has a specialty within

201
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: related to sexual health. And I appreciate this episode where

202
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: she's talking about how we can engage in conversations around STDs,

203
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: not just with our partners, but also thinking about it

204
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: from a per perspective of educating those around us. And

205
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: then the second episode on physical health dealt with something

206
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: that ten fifteen years ago I wouldn't have thought would

207
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: have been a heavy topic of conversation amongst black women.

208
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: But it's about plastic surgery. And what I really appreciated

209
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: about doctor Mala Bennett is that she was not She's

210
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: not a plastic surgeon out here really aiming at trying

211
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: to get your money, which at least that's my perception

212
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: of a lot of plastic surgeons is that they're just

213
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: trying to they're in it for the profit, right. What

214
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: I loved about our conversation with doctor Mala is that

215
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: her focus was on the relationship with her patients, and

216
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: she talked a lot about how she goes into in

217
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: depth consultation with them before they make a decision on

218
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: whether or not plastic surgery is right for them.

219
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: When we were recording the.

220
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: Episode, and then even when I was listening to it

221
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: later on, like I found myself saying, like, Okay, I

222
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: want to go and have like tea or coffee, or

223
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a martini or something with doctor Mila

224
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: to like get more in depth conversation with her about

225
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: how she really engages with her patients, because I think

226
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: that that bedside manner is super important and really getting

227
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: at what is the motivation behind making a decision to

228
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: have plastic surgery.

229
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was definitely a great episode the Ladies. You

230
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: definitely want to check that out because doctor Mila and

231
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: doctor Joy, they just they brought their energy, their expertise.

232
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: It was just such a good episode. And I might

233
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: have to say that my it's hard to name a

234
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: favorite right because I feel like when you have when

235
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: you're creative, or you have a podcast, or or you

236
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: have something that you're building, it's hard to say what

237
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: your favorite thing is. But I think the funnest episode,

238
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 2: the episode I think we laughed the most on is

239
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: probably our episode from last week where we talked about

240
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: we went down memory lane, right, we took a trip

241
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: down memory lane and dom we laughed so hard talking

242
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: about our eighties, nineties, and two thousands memories. That was

243
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: just such a fun episode and we actually have a

244
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: recent review from that episode. So Lady, we just want

245
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: to thank you for rating the podcast if you already have.

246
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: We want to thank you for engaging with us on Instagram,

247
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: engaging with us in our private Facebook sanctuary we have

248
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: the heart Space sanctuary, and then also for leaving us

249
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: reviews because Dom you would probably agree with this. But

250
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: sometimes it's a lonely journey having a podcast, right, because

251
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: we put our content and then you don't hear anything,

252
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: and we just watched the numbers and we're like, what

253
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: do they think?

254
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, right right, it kind of feels a

255
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: little one sided, yes, because it's like we know that

256
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: we're putting the content out and I think the cool

257
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: thing about our team is that you and I vibe

258
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: really well with one another, and so I think it

259
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: would probably be even lonelier if we were each doing

260
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: this like by ourselves.

261
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good point. It would definitely be

262
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: even lonelier. I think it's like, Okay, I put my

263
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: workout to the world. What is everyone thinking? Right? So lady,

264
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: we want to just take a moment to shout out

265
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: some of you and actually read your reviews. So we

266
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,320

268
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:54,600

269
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,760

275
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: have another review from me and me static. I think

276
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: I said that right, and she says, I searched for

277
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: a podcast that uplifts beautiful sisters, sistars, excuse me, and

278
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: found you. The last episode broke me down. I cried

279
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: and identified okay with the bars, MEMI, I see you.

280
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,160

00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: have Peaches, we have Pammy, we have m. H. Gaskins,

282
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: we have Elephant Wisdom. We have so many of you, Grace,

283
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640

284
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: addition to constructive feedback, and we appreciate it all. I

285
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: want to read one more and then we're going to

286
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: dive into another part of the conversation. All right, So

287
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: shout out to missus Jacob's Missus Jacobs says this this

288
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: episode was so informative about jealousy and envy. I often

289
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: question myself when I felt those emotions. After hearing this podcast,

290
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: I now know the difference and what I must do

291
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: for me. Feeling these emotions doesn't make you a bad person.

292
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: It's normal. So glad I got the clarity on this.

293
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: Thank you both. I'll be tuning in. Yay. Those are

294
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: great reviews, So awesome.

295
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: So we started this year with saying that we were

296
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: going to find ways to like engage everyone more, engage

297
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: the community more. And one of the things that we

298
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: talked about was adding different segments throughout the week, and

299
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: so my segment was the talk is the talk Back

300
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday with doctor Don And if you've been paying attention,

301
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: you may have noticed that I haven't posted anything publicly yet.

302
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: And so one of the things that I kind of

303
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: want to do and kind of want to encourage you, lady.

304
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, if you have a question that you really

305
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: want to ask to, go on ahead and submit the question.

306
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: And I know that on our website it directs you

307
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: to Patreon and it asks for a monetary donation before

308
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: you can submit a question. But lady please know that

309
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: if you really have a question that you want to ask,

310
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: don't hesitate to submit it to us without having to pay.

311
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: We don't want that to be a barrier for being

312
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: able to engage with you and being able to help you.

313
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: And so there have been quite a few questions that

314
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: have come through, and the questions that have come through.

315
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I am working my way through with responding to each

316
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: lady individually and really taking time to offer her the

317
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: feedback that she may be looking for. But I want

318
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: to kind of give you all a sense of like

319
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: some of the questions that are being asked and and

320
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 1: ways in which we'll be really trying to put that

321
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: information out there in the future in an upcoming season.

322
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: So one of the questions that came through, and by

323
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: the way, we did get this lady's permission to raise

324
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: this question online. She says, I need some advice. I

325
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: am a married woman with two children. My oldest has

326
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: a different dad. He is not always there, doesn't pay

327
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: a dime for anything, but I don't stop him from

328
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: being a part of her life. Her dad we will

329
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: call him David. Recently, him and his other baby mama

330
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: live in girl slash Living girlfriend named Lisa. Lisa and

331
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: I used to get along a long time ago. A

332
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, I tried to file for child support.

333
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: I was then threatened by Lisa that I bet not

334
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: have anyone come to her house to have him served,

335
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: and said I had no right. Also told me I

336
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: should have told her first before I tried to have

337
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: him served. What he did end up doing dodging the

338
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: papers and I gave up. Plus I was over the drama.

339
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: She was pregnant, and she also had another son from

340
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: her previous relationship. Now I come from an extremely blended family,

341
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: so I know how important it is that everyone is

342
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: involved in my daughter's life. David has never fully been

343
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: there for our daughter. So recently, my daughter got a

344
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: bad grade in school and the same day I found out,

345
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: David was actually picking up our daughter to take her,

346
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: their son, and Lisa's son to Disneyland. I tried to

347
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: tell him before they left, but he picked her up

348
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: before I got home. I then texted him to try

349
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: and tell him I needed to talk to him about

350
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: her behavior and her grade. I figured he was driving,

351
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: so I texted his girlfriend to see if she could

352
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: relay the message. I have attached the screenshot of the

353
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: brief conversation. At this point, she has been downright disrespectful

354
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: to me, and I'm still starting to not want her

355
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: around my daughter.

356
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 3: What should I do?

357
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: I was raised that it takes a village to raise

358
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: a child.

359
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: Thank you, oo, child. That is a lot.

360
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: And the way to talk back Tuesday with doctor Don

361
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: works is that I am going to respond via email

362
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: to miss Jackson. But one of the things her question

363
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: brings up is the topic of co parenting, how to

364
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: have healthy co parenting relationships, And so as we move

365
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: into season six, one of our episodes will focus on

366
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: healthy co parenting relationships.

367
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: All right, So, lady, we have created a few different

368
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: spaces that we mentioned in the podcast day where we

369
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 2: want to give you an opportunity and us an opportunity

370
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: to connect. Right, We want you to connect with us

371
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: and we want to connect with you because oftentimes it

372
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: does feel one side. And while we appreciate your commitment

373
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: to the podcast and you've shown up on Fridays to

374
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: listen to every new episode, we really want to get

375
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: to know you and build a connection so that when

376
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: we are able to meet in person at one of

377
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: our live events at some point in the future. We

378
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: want to just have that rapport with you. So there

379
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: are a few ways that we just want to shout out.

380
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: In the show notes, We're going to add a link

381
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: to the Herspace Sanctuary, which is a Facebook community. It's

382
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: a private group where we are sharing quotes and positivity

383
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: and good vibes and it's basically an extension of the podcast.

384
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: There are a few questions that we want to encourage

385
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: you to answer prior to being accepted to the group,

386
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 2: because we just want to make sure that we have

387
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: good people in the group. You know, sometimes people will

388
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: go into a Facebook group and they'll just spam it

389
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 2: with their business. We don't want any of that. We

390
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: want it to be a safe space, positive space with

391
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: all that good stuff, So be sure to check that out.

392
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: In the show notes. Dom already mentioned the talk back

Speaker 2: Patreon page where you can get those bonus episodes.

402
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: And I think, considering the times that we're in right now,

403
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, t you were saying, like trying to connect

404
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: more via Facebook, Like for me, one of the things

405
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: that's on my mind is because we can't engage in person,

406
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: how can we really find community virtually? Because one of

407
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: the things that I know from a mental health perspective

408
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: is that if we are isolated for too long, then

409
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: that breeds loneliness, feelings of loneliness and maybe increasing anxiety,

410
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: but also maybe feelings of depression. And Lady, we don't

411
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: if we have an opportunity to connect with you and

412
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: prevent some of that isolation, prevent some of that depression

413
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: from forming, we want to be a part of that.

414
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: We want to help in any way that we can.

415
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: And so I think I'm gonna make a commitment because

416
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: I know, like Terry, you and I have talked about

417
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: how I am not as active as on social media,

418
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: make a commitment to log on more frequently to Instagram

419
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: through our her Space Instagram account, and if we can

420
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: get at least twenty five ladies to join the her

421
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: Space Sanctuary by April first. And this is not an

422
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: April Fruis joke, but if we can get twenty five

423
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: ladies to join the Hirtspace Sanctuary by April first, I

424
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: will make that commitment to engage in the Herspace Sanctuary

425
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: at least once a week.

426
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 2: Amazing. I love it. I love it, And don when

427
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: I think about just the conversations I've had with folks

428
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: and like what's been on my mind lately, I feel

429
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: like this experience, it's every experience, is what we make

430
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 2: it right. It's all about our perspective and to be honest,

431
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: like I was in my morning gratitude today, I had

432
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: like a real moment with myself and actually spoke to

433
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: a colleague about this, and it really just made me

434
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: so grateful. So I was thinking about the things that

435
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for, and I was thinking to myself, you know,

436
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: if we were to have experience this coronavirus or COVID

437
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: nineteen pandemic five to ten years ago, I might be

438
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: seriously struggling right now, you know, like I may have

439
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: had to file for unemployment. I may have been struggling

440
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: to pay my bills, and it makes me so grateful

441
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: to be in the space that I am in my

442
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 2: life right now, and it makes me want to figure

443
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: out how I can help other people, right because I

444
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: know where my next meal is coming from, right, I

445
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: have a home to live and in those things. And

446
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: so one thing I've been working on is creating a

447
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: webinar or an online masterclass to teach other people like

448
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: how to build your brands right, how to make money

449
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: online and stuff like that. And then the other thing

450
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: that has really been on my mind, you know, I've

451
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: been working on my book. And I finished the book, yes,

452
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: ma girl. So I finished the book last year and

453
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: I was like thinking to myself over the weekend, dom

454
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: how am I going to launch a book when I

455
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: can't even go on a book tour. I can't go

456
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: out and meet people and do a book signing and

457
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: like all of that. And then I was thinking, Okay,

458
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: this is time for me to get creative, right, Like,

459
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: I have to figure out how can I leverage the

460
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: digital world to get this message of hope out that

461
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: I want to share through my book? Right, So I

462
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: think this is an opportunity for us to really get

463
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 2: still with ourselves to figure out what do we value,

464
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: you know, what is our purpose? Why are we here

465
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: on this earth. I think this is the moment to

466
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: also just be by yourself in solitude. I know, for me,

467
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: I used to be very uncomfortable being alone. And I

468
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: see a lot of other people who are really leaning

469
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: into social media, who are who are just finding other

470
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: ways to like not be by themselves in the midst

471
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: of what we're going through. But I would definitely encourage

472
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 2: anyone listening to try to save some space for yourself

473
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: to just be by yourself if that's a possibility, right,

474
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: because I think that oftentimes when we're by ourselves, that's

475
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: when a lot of the most powerful revelations come, right,

476
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: That's when those amazing ideas, those witty ideas, and great

477
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: inventions come. And I think this is an opportunity for

478
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: creatives to really lean into their creativity and find ways

479
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: to make an impact on the community and on the world,

480
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: because we clearly need it right now, you.

481
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 3: Know, yes, we really, we really really do.

482
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: And personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what will come

483
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: out of this extended time for creativity, tapping into creativity.

484
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: I am really looking forward to how you are going

485
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: to figure out how to launch your book without being

486
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: able to do a physical book tour.

487
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 2: Thank you, Dom. We shall see. I will definitely keep

488
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: y'all posted on that as I figure this out, and

489
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: I'm like, how the hell am I going to do this?

490
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: But no, I think it'll all work out. And I

491
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 2: think that we just need to kind of stick together

492
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: as a community and encourage each other during these tough times.

493
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,200
