Yeah, late, 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.640 we got all the compliments to start. What is your 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.519 favorite part of parenting teenagers? Rebecca in New Mexico. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:49.680 I think just them getting older and having more substantial conversations. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.280 I think that that's been a fun part in just 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:59.640 watching them develop and their personalities really start to come out, 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.440 and you see who they are as individuals, and watching 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.160 them grow and thrive. At least for me, that's probably 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.679 been the best part. Is it true that when they 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.039 get older, you have more concern. 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.240 That grows for them. Does that happen? 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.240 I mean yeah, I think once I start driving, there's 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.280 that they have this more freedom, and then they're friendships 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.080 and there's the normal high school stuff and what are 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.240 they involved in? And that's what Life three sixties for you. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:25.880 Just love that. 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.840 I really feel like you need an advertising with Life 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:29.440 three sixty. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.760 Oh yeah, I'm I'm on it all the time. Like 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.440 I could be like, oh, where are they right now? 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.680 Are they walking? I mean Stevenson, he rides his bike 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.800 a lot, like I can see exactly where he is. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:45.280 That's just it gives you peace of mind. Now, I 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.600 don't over or what's the sort I'm looking for? I 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.840 don't obsess over it as a mom. Like if Stasher 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.880 is out with her friends, I will maybe check it once. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.680 Some nights I don't even check it. I just trust 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.640 that's where she is. But sometimes I'll be like, oh, 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.440 wait a second, where is she right now? And then 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.720 I'll see like, oh, she went from you know, this 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.640 Mexican restaurant to Sonic and that's what they do then 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.000 to swig like they. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.959 Just bounced around a restaurant hop. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.800 And she's from what I can tell, she's not into 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.040 certain things that I certainly was into in high school, 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.920 and I'm very thankful for that, and that might change. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.360 But it's her senior year and she hasn't yet like 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:29.200 really gotten into partying or anything. And so if like 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:30.880 she wants to go hang out at Sonic late. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.399 Night, okay, yeah, you're like, I'll take that. That's right. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.399 So we'll see what happens when she goes off to college. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.040 Like you know, I try to have open, honest conversations 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.080 her about that. That's probably like the cringiest part of 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.079 being a parent sometimes is like, Okay, I'm gonna have 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.799 to have this conversation right now, and I want to 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.040 talk about it, but my mom didn't talk to me, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:55.640 and I would much rather have, you know, the boyfriend 0:02:55.720 --> 0:03:01.440 girlfriend conversations and the drinking conversations and drugs then then 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.800 just ignore it. And I'm like, Okay, well, they're going 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.359 to do what they're going to do. But just watching 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.600 them grow and develop, sure you worry, but I think 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.320 there's all different phases until they're maybe finally off on 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.160 their own. But I can't speak to that yet because 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:18.000 I'm not on that phase. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.480 Okay, I does Stevenson still go buy his nickname at school? 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.640 In track James in Virginia. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.960 Oh yeah, the moose. Yeah. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.000 His birthday was what in August and he asked for 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.320 a new moose T shirt because he outgrew the one 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.000 from last year that gave him the nickname. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.560 That shirt is what gave him that nickname. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.760 Yeah, he would show up to practice with his moose 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:40.800 shirt and they were. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.880 Like moose okay, and they still call him that. Does 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.200 anybody else like besides track? 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.680 No, I mean they mostly call him Stevenson, but it's 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.160 like a thing at least for him, and occasionally, like 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.080 some of the kids will say it, but it's not 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.960 like an overall like everyone at school is like moose. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:57.760 The moose. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:03:59.960 That could become a thing for him in high school though, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.720 you know, because high school I really feel like is 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.760 where your nicknames well we develop. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.280 I know, maybe we need to campaign for that. Maybe, 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.160 I'm like Stevenson, we really need to push this thing 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.040 because it'd be cute. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:09.760 Booth. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:15.360 Yeah, for the state cross country, I mean his race. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.480 Last night we were talking about for state maybe we 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.599 should blow his head up, like really big on a 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.400 I don't know what they call those but he know 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:24.640 those things they stick on the wall. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.279 Yeah, I know it's like a cutout. 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.760 But you can do it with heads, and like we 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.880 have them at different things, and we like really cheer 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.839 them on because sometimes it's like a you know not 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.200 sometimes a lot of times adrenaline will give you that 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.040 extra boost that you need. And we're like, maybe we 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.640 divide and conquer on the course because you can't be 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:43.760 at all parts of the course. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.800 But if we we. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:45.120 Know the. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.200 We know which way they're going to go, and then 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.560 we station people like our family and friends at different parts. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.039 Like every quarter mile in the course there's like a 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.720 Stevenson head and someone. 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:58.240 Yelling at him. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.640 Okay, I'm like, I feel like that might motivate him 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.279 because right now I don't have that all coordinated and 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.600 I can only be like this, dad, and I can 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.240 only be like two or three different spots throughout the race, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.200 because you're I mean, last night, I was running and 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.400 that's the most I've ran to make it back to 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.360 the finish line in time, and I was out of breath. 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.400 But I was thinking we were very strategic about it, 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:23.160 then we might give him those adrenaline bursts a quarter mile. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.120 Very much is a thing and you should totally do that. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.920 But also I'm advocating for getting a blow up moose's head. 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.279 Oh yeah, I needed a moose. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.240 Yeah, because you can do his head. You should and 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.080 at least you can know who you're cheering for. But 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.919 also if you get like an inflatable moose of somehind, 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:38.280 I think he would love that. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.040 I think they'd be like, ma'am, there are no inflatable 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.440 moose allowed on the course. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.680 Blow it up ball like, don't show anybody, then blow 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.400 it up when you're seeing me. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.919 Yeah, I mean I just need to maybe get myself 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.400 into a full blown moose costume. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:54.039 Oh yes, yes, he would love that. Will you ever 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.640 remarry if it is the right time Stephanie and Michigan. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.359 Yes, I don't know when that right time will be, 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.640 but yes I would. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.200 Would you want a big wedding or would you want 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:04.919 like a small wedding? 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:05.840 Have you ever thought about that? 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.839 No, I wouldn't do like a wedding wedding. I would 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:14.320 have a party. Okay, So I think if they're I 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.400 don't know. I guess it depends on what he would 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.240 want to do. But I could see like a more 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.880 private exchanging a vow situation, and then just a fun 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.160 party but not like the full like wedding gown or 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.040 anything like that. Okay, I don't want to little pantsy 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.520 action maybe something white or maybe not white. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.599 Who cares, like, I don't know. We just have fun. 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.240 I love it and celebrate with the people that we love, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.560 and more so the celebration like maybe in the intimate 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.560 ceremony if there's like yeah, our kids are involved, and 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.800 then but also showing the kids of like, you know, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.919 you celebrate the big things in life that you care about, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.320 not because I feel like I need some wedding reception. 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.160 It would be more of just like a celebration party. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.760 And it's weird if it were to be my current boyfriend, 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.719 like with the loss of his wife. Also just she 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.719 always she told him before she died, you know, I 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.839 want you to get remarried, and so just that we'd 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.880 I don't know, somehow honor and celebrate her too, not 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.040 in like a weird creepy way. But it is weird 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.559 because he still loves her. It's not like he where 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.560 I you know. And then I thought, well, Ben and 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.600 I our relationship is such a great place. I'm like 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.080 if we were to actually, if this sort of happened 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.280 and we were to get married, I would be like, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.000 would been come? Would we invite him? Because that'd be 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.160 good for our kids to see. And I was like, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.240 he's dating right now, maybe his girlfriend could come. But 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.280 then that's my brain going on a journey that we're 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:34.840 not there yet. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.360 Yeah, you have a ways to go, and you have 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.920 time to figure all of them. Oh yes, but that's exciting. 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.640 But then I get asked a question like that, my 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.000 brain starts revisiting different things that I've thought of, and 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.720 I'm like, okay, and then I have to reel it in. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.720 Okay, but it's good. It's good to know where you're at. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.000 So this is good favorite quality in your new boyfriend. 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.920 Maybe she had asses in a way of like that 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.800 you're ex and to have, But we'll just go with 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.040 like maybe your favorite quality. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.880 And yeah, no, I don't want to compare him to 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.640 Ben there at all, so we won't do that. I 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.800 do think a word to describe him that has been 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:13.800 really good for me is steadfast. Okay, so he's very 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.960 consistent and even you know, I don't know if it's 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.240 like in our other part of the podcast, you were 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:27.080 talking about your nervous system, and he is just I 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.760 keep saying, like even in level doesn't sound as great 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.760 as steadfast, so that feels more like the word. But 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.199 he is that for me and has you know, sometimes 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.320 you don't know as someone just acting this way or 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:45.720 are they this way? And I believe after almost a year, 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.320 I can tell that he just is that way. Now 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:54.679 he has feelings and can fluctuate with those, like he's 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.600 not just like a passive person, but he's just consistent, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:05.599 consistent in being level headed. He's very rational, uh, not dramatic. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:11.120 It's the opposite of me sometimes, opposite the ying to 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:11.640 my yang. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.920 So steadfast. I will give it that. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.400 And you know, Ben, while Ben and I maybe weren't 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.679 that for each other, we might be now with the 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:21.480 work that we've done. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:22.640 Uh. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.600 But with me, yeah, a dash of drama. I like 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:27.400 to keep it fun. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.200 Sometimes you just gotta add a little spice to the 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.600 party to stir it up. 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.120 See, and I see if my boyfriend will take the bait, 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.400 and he doesn't, and I'm like well, And at the 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.040 beginning I was like, well, want want, but now I'm like, ah, 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.400 thank you. You're just so consistent now I'm just seeing 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:43.840 if he's ever going to fall for it. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:44.800 But I don't even know that. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.800 I'm not like purposefully doing it, but I can tell 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.319 sometimes when I step away, I'm like, okay, I was 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.840 definitely stirring the pot there. I'm not like, oh, it's 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.680 been a month since I try to row him up, Like, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.480 I'm just see if I can get him to. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.719 You're on a schedule of making sure you do it X. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.959 Yeah. No, it's not that, but just certain things will 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.720 come up where I can later look back and see, oh, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.240 I was very emotional at that point and maybe was 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.240 letting my emotions drive This is probably a good way 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.760 to put it. He does, he has emotions. He's just 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.240 very clear in his delivery. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.440 Yeah, he knows who he is, he knows what he wants. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.240 He's like good.

I keep waiting 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.199 for it to like not be that way, but so far, 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.320 so good. We love that. This is good. 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:32.960 And most of the time when they're like that, they 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.320 are that way. My boyfriend is very similar, and I'm like, 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.400 when's the other foot coming off? 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.080 Yeah, And I wouldn't say I'm like waiting for it 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.200 to drop because that wouldn't be healthy of me either. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.800 But I guess I'm just curious, like this is really 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.160 a ruves Am. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:48.040 I being punked? 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.439 Yeah, where you have like I'm ninety nine percent of 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.360 time like this is great, this is so good, and 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.480 then there's just like that one percent that creeps in 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.880 my brain sometimes like yah, it's gonna go to. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.640 All yeah, or like if we were to get married, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.720 like I know somebody that was dating a guy like 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.600 our guys, like we're describing swear to God, this is 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.960 how she described him. The day after they got married, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.840 everything flipped. They're divorced now, everything flipped. It was like 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:20.719 a switch. He the word in my mind right now, 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.080 has bamboozled her, but like and everybody around like he 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.240 knew what he was doing and he was able to 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.439 keep up that game, and then the minute it became 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.520 legal and she was his like something. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.680 Just either I have a friend with this very similar story. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.920 Okay, well maybe just say their name off air, because 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.720 I wonder I'm like, no way to the same person. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.920 But if that's crazy that happened to your friend too, 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.600 Like that's terrifying to know that there are situations out 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.719 there where they will play it right up until and 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.680 then when it's legal. I don't know if it's something 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.119 that switches in them like oh this is far more complicated, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.960 or I've got her or they've I don't know, but 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.240 she was sort of It's almost like she couldn't even 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.440 accept it because she was so perplexed by it. She's like, 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.200 what in the world is happening. 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.520 Well, it's hard to comprehend something that you would never do, right, 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.560 Like that's something that you just couldn't even put in 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.040 your head as something that's a possibility. And then it 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.880 happens and you're like, Okay, I guess that was a possibility. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.920 Yeah, And I mean. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.960 So that that pops in my head sometimes I'm like, well, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.800 maybe he's waiting for the day we're married. And then 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.480 the flip switches. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:31.480 Or the switch flips, the flip switches, the fliplip switches, 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.400 the switch flips flips. I think it's flip switches because 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.600 the flip flips switch flips. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.240 All right, we're gonna take a quick break. 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.800 Cadi from Ohio wants to know the favorite fall activities. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.040 Oh, well, like last weekend, my brother in law and 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.800 nieces are in town.

But also I like 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.800 cooking pumpkin insider things like I just made pumpkin protein bars. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.040 I'm about to make some little apple cider donuts.

So I'm having to make it 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.720 all at home this year and figure out how I 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:56.600 can still do that. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:57.880 That would be mine. 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.720 I just started watching Friday Night Lights. Who is your 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.800 favorite character or was your favorite character that's from Sarah? 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:06.360 Oh? 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.520 Do I have a favorite character from Friday Night Lights? 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.800 I mean, I love coach Taylor obviously, and then Tammy. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.840 I was always an girl.

That's where I honestly fell in love. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.160 Like girl crush on Connie Britten was Ny Taylor. 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:40.560 Yeah, it's such a good show. Mm hmmm, it really is. Honestly, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.320 none of them are wrong. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.880 But Riggins was like a big crush of mine when 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.120 I was watching that show, and that's why it's front 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.600 of mine. Also, just I love the name Riggins. It's 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.800 so cute. It is a cute name. Do you get 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.160 a wardrobe paid for by the company for events? 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:58.800 That's Lauren from Austin. No, it's a quick cancer. No, 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.520 that would be fun. That would be fun. But no, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.560 do you put together years or do you have somebody 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.840 help at all? I used to have. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.120 My friend Kelly would do it, but I then I 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.400 just started doing it myself, like the last several years. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.240 I was like, I don't know, I just started doing 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.640 it the last probably after COVID. I mean, I think 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.280 a lot did that change for a lot of people 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.160 after COVID And I was looking back at some of 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.960 my past, my most recent iHeart outfits over the last 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.520 several years, and they were all me. I mean, I'll 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.440 get opinions or I might still text her other friends 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.200 and be like, hey do you like this or does 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.160 this look ridiculous? 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.960 But hey, there you go. I think people assume that 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.120 we get like wardrobes and stuff. Yeah, for different events, 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:51.640 but no, that's us, Yeah, going out to things. How 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.560 did people share their pregnancy news with you whenever you 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.480 were struggling with infertility? That's from m in Ohio. I'm 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.000 assuming she maybe going through something similar. 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.000 Uh. I think they just were normal how they would be. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:11.160 I don't know. I don't recall any of my I mean, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.240 this was a long long time ago, but I'm trying 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:17.040 to think. I think I did have my college roommate 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:24.040 she proceeded with caution on her second pregnancy, kind of like, Hey, 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.960 I've been wanting to tell you this. I just don't 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:28.920 know how because I know that you're going through this 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.560 and she did it thoughtfully, but nobody I never took 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.800 it any wrong way. If someone's just I want you 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.000 to do you. And I think that's it's good if 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.120 you're family and friends or where what you're going through 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:42.600 and they are sensitive to it. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:44.240 And also. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.080 Just because we've been dealt a certain card. I don't 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:55.439 want to trump or step on anybody's joy or steal 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.080 their joy in their moment, like I don't know, you. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.800 Don't want to just gotta theoria, Oh what the being soupererio? 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.680 Oh bean, you don't want to being souperio? Yeah? 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.560 Yeah, the bean soup theory, that's a that's a good 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:10.399 one where you're just kind of won't want you're the 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:11.800 Debbie downer at the point. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.679 Yeah, And I think a lot of that's valid. 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.200 Right when you're going through something, you've experienced things and 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.919 you you get to have all of those emotions. 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.600 But there's also two things. This can be true. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.080 What Amy's saying is that you get to feel that 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:25.600 way and have that, but you can also still have 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.040 joy for the people that are in your life and 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:28.520 having joyful things happen. 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:34.840 Yeah, And I feel like when someone has this expectation, 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:39.119 which I am thankful for my friend that did deliver 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.919 the news in that way, but I assured her over 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.240 and over again like, if this ever happens again, please 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.320 just do you and come out and tell me, Like, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.399 I don't want you to have anxiety about telling me 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.879 about one of the biggest moments in your life. Like 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.320 I just I'm grateful for the thoughtfulness and I just 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:05.399 want people to be normal. Yeah, well hopefully, because then 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.480 it also is like this reminder of like, oh, these 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.280 this is happening to me. I just want things to 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:14.040
