The longest I've been 42 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: single is right now, which I forced myself to be 43 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: single for like last year and a half, almost two years, 44 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: just because I needed to. 45 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: You forced yourself, force myself beat them off with a stick. 46 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I had to beat myself off with 47 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: a stick, no pun intended. But but I just I 48 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: get into these relationships where it starts really fast, upfront, 49 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: and then I'm like, oh, of course the love bombing 50 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: that we're both doing to each other is warranted because 51 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: we're both awesome. But then I get into the relationship 52 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: and then within like six months to a year, a 53 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: couple of years, you start seeing that maybe what was 54 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: portrayed or sold to me wasn't exactly who they were. 55 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: So I've kind of been in a cycle, and it's 56 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 2: been very clear, a very clear cycle. So I've taken 57 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: the year and a half almost two years and now 58 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 2: I'll just say two years of being single and just 59 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: focusing on myself growth therapy, Like, oh. 60 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: God, I was literally going to ask if you've seen 61 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: a psychiatrist, So I'm so glad to hear you tell 62 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: us that. 63 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, that's been like that. I mean, my breakups 64 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: have been always kind of gnarly too, because one of 65 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: my exites reached out a couple of years after we 66 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: broke up and she told me why she kind of 67 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: had a crash out, and she was like, the relationship 68 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: was the best relationship I've ever been in, so when 69 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: you walked away from it, it was like the whole 70 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: world collapsing. She was trying to hold on right, and 71 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: so I think that that's been the trend, and so 72 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: I do give a lot to my relationships. I'm a 73 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: big giver in every type of way. Like if I 74 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: see potential, I want to know foster that and like 75 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: grow that and just make my partner the best person 76 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: they can be. But I kind of lose myself within that. 77 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: So this last two years being single has been me 78 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 2: focusing on me for kind of the first time ever, 79 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: and it's been the most transformational two years of my 80 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: entire life, Like night and day. 81 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: I love to hear that because I think that I'm 82 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: a little bit older, much wiser. I didn't hear you 83 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: say anything complimentary to me. 84 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: Bryce, Oh you're beautiful.

But I'm not here dating you. 86 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: Older and wiser. 87 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to hear you say that, because you 88 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: are still in such a place in your life. You're 89 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: still trying to figure out who you are. There is 90 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: a part of you that you're born with, that's in 91 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: your soul, that's who you are. But through relationships, through friendships, 92 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: through experience. 93 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: You will learn who you are and what it is 94 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: that you want. 95 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: But I'm also here to tell you that it changes 96 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: to your only thirty You said, yeah, that stuff changes 97 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: as well. It's kind of change in five years, ten years, 98 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: another four years after that, right, it evolves, And the 99 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: important part of relationships is that you can find someone 100 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: that can. 101 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 2: Evolve with you exactly. 102 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So let's run through some basic things. I don't 103 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: know a lot about you. No one would give me 104 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: information because I'm friends with Mercedes. I'm her girl, and 105 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: so I think they knew that I was going to 106 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: be giving her a heads up, so they kept everything 107 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: from me. 108 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. Okay, you're thirty one, Yeah, I'm thirty. 109 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: Okay, and your last relationship was a year and a 110 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: half ago, you. 111 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: Said, like, it was June of almost two years ago, 112 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: So I guess we're past two years now a little bit. 113 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay. What's the biggest thing you learned about yourself 114 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: in the last two years? 115 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: Oh? Man, like so much. I think the biggest thing 116 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: is I carry a really magnifying light. Like any room 117 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: I walk into, people are gravitated to that. And I 118 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: like that because that I can give just like just 119 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: the best opportunity and like, like, I don't know, just 120 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: best vibes. I hate that word, but like just make 121 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: sure everyone feels great, like that's That's my biggest thing, 122 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: is like I know who I am in that way, 123 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: and I think I kind of had never realized that 124 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: in the years and prior, cause I there was a 125 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: moment in time where I was very unsure of myself. 126 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: And now I would say the biggest thing is I'm 127 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: fully confident in who I am. I love myself and 128 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: not a way that's like psychotic or coyotistical part of you. Yeah, no, 129 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: I yeah, I try not to have ego, which I'm 130 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: very mindful of that, but yeah, I just I think 131 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: I fell in love with who I am at a 132 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: very core level. My faith is a huge part of 133 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: that as well. So that's what I've really grown in 134 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: my faith in the last couple of years as well, 135 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: and getting back to just having a relationship, like a 136 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: personal relationship with God, which has been super helpful. But yeah, 137 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's been awesome. 138 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: What's your longest relationship? 139 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 2: Three years? 140 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: Three years?

And so I'm 198 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: not doing that anymore. And I need someone who's passionate 199 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: about something, like just doing something to the highest extent 200 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: of her ability and is like chasing after something and 201 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 2: knows what she wants.

We're being really honest here because I do know 210 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: that you live in LA and then in LA. 211 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: You know. The good thing is I'm from Kansas, so 212 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: I got that Midwest like Midwest thing. My parents are 213 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: still together. They have the most beautiful relationship I've ever seen. 214 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: So I grew up with that, which is why I 215 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: don't stay in relationships too long if I know it's 216 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: not what my parents have, right, because I know it's real. 217 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 2: I know what my parents have is real, and so 218 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: I'm not settling anymore. So it could be could be 219 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: five years, could be ten years, It could be thre years, 220 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: it could be one year. I don't know. I mean, right, 221 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: you'll know, Yeah, if it's the right person, I feel 222 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: like I will know at that point in time. 223 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: Are you an only child? 224 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: No, I'm the oldest. I have a little brother. So 225 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: a little brother, a little brother. 226 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: Okay, two is better than one? 227 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah for sure. Uh huh. 228 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering do their opinions really matter? My sibling 229 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: and my parents, all of them, your family, your core, Like. 230 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: My brother's opinion doesn't matter. I love him, not to 231 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: dish you, bro. Yeah, I'm not dissing him, but his 232 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: opinion is very different in all aspects of life. So 233 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: I love him, but we're just very different people. He's engaged, 234 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: so he's got it figured out. I guess. 235 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: Do you like his fiance? 236 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: She's so out of it? Okay, Austin, if you're listening, 237 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: I love you. She's so out of his league, like 238 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: in every way, and it's awesome to see how much 239 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: they love each other and like it's it's so That's 240 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: the other thing is like I know that relationships like 241 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: that exist because my brother has it and my parents 242 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 2: have it, so it's like, why would I settle for 243 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: anything less than what my family has. My parents' opinion 244 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: matters a lot. It's so funny because every time I 245 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: would bring a girlfriend back home, they'd always be so 246 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: nice to her, but then as soon as we left, 247 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 2: they'd call me like, what are you doing? And this 248 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: is clearly not your wife. I'm like, no, she is, 249 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: and they're like, no, she's not. And then I break 250 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: up with them a couple months later and I'm like, 251 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: you guys are right. So that's another thing too, I've 252 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: learned over the last few years is like, listen to 253 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: the people that love you the most, because they're going 254 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: to give you the best wisdom. 255 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: And it's a fine line though you love and respect 256 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: your mama or are you a mommy's boy? 257 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: No, I'm not a mommy's boy, But I will say 258 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: my mom is a son's mom, Like she's obsessed with 259 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: us in the best way. She's super allian, so she's 260 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: just so fun. I love my mom. I would not 261 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: say my mama's boy, just because she's a lot to handle. So, like, 262 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: you know, there's a little distance there and they live 263 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: across the country they lived. They live in Florida now, 264 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 2: so I don't see them other than, you know, a 265 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: couple times a year. 266 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: Those are called healthy boundaries. 267 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally agree. But I love my mom, love my dad. 268 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: My dad is like work hard and my mom's play hard, 269 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: and I feel like I'm like a perfect combination of 270 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: both of them. So yeah, they're great. 271 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: Okay, have you figured out at this point what your 272 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: love language is? 273 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, what yours is? And what is yours to give? 274 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, so physical touch is my number one to receive? 275 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: Is that every man wants physical touch? Let's I mean, 276 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: let's just dive there for a second. Why is it 277 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: that every man says, Oh, my love language is physical touch. 278 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 3: We get it. You guys like to have sex. 279 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what I was gonna say. It's not 280 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: even the sex part to me. I can just sit 281 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: there and if my girl's just playing with my hair 282 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: or like just doing the tickles on my arm. I 283 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: even told one of my girlfriends, I was like, this 284 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: is better than sex to me. I was like, just 285 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: this moment of like just being touched and there's not 286 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: even any sexualness going on, that's better than sex. Sometimes obviously, 287 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: but physical touch is great. I love words of affirmation 288 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: because for ever, since I was a kid, for years 289 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: I struggled with like confidence. I got bullied really bad 290 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: when I moved from Seattle to Kansas because I don't know, 291 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: just was a whole thing.
