Once we said 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: the first three days were really hard, and then it 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: was like we need to, Like because I was talking 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: to my friend pamelin back home and I said, once 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 2: we set a schedule for each day, like, it just 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: helps everything.

But I'm like, well, last year we 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: could still technically leave the house, Like I still went 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: to the grocery. 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: Store and you went to home depot.

So yeah, it's it's been and that part, that 43 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: part was what was giving me anxiety. But at the 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: same time, there's people online that were like, stop complaining, 45 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: like we're all in a pandemic right now, We're all 46 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 2: can't we all can't leave. And I'm like, that's technically not. 47 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 2: I mean in California you can't really, but it's like 48 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: you're still go somewhere right, No. 49 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 3: One, here's the thing again, here's the difference. No one's 50 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: gonna possibly show up at your door to make sure 51 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 3: you're at home. You have the freedom to leave. Yeah, 52 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: in theory we could, but we run the risk of 53 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: getting like a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine 54 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: or possible imprisonment. I really don't want to do that. 55 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: No, and we've already done it like we're used to. 56 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 2: I think what I said to someone, I was like, honestly, 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: it's just about the comfort of your own home. Yeah, 58 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: I know we talked about that last week, but I uh, yeah, 59 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: I feel like wherever I am with y'all is home. 60 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: We do a good job at making that happen for 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: ourselves and for the kids. 62 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry to Peter, but Wednesday we're going to 63 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: the zoo.

We're free that day, 67 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: but the animals are not free, you know. We're like, 68 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 2: we're basically the caged animals right now. 69 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: So what you're saying when we go to the zoo 70 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: and we're cast suck at line. We're free. 71 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: No, but I feel bad. No, but I genuinely feel bad. 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: Now now I get it, like I'm a we're zoo goers. 73 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: We are we are zoo goers, and. 74 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: Now I'm oh my god. They live that life every day. 75 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: They can't roam free, they can't. I feel terrible. 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: You can all of a sudden become a non zoo goer. 77 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: Peta, Yeah, I feel terrible now after we go to 78 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: Vancouverso yeah, after because I need to get out. 79 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. So we celebrated Valentine's Day in lockdown quarantine and 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: we made them most of it. 81 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: Last Valentine's Day we were also well, it was pretty 82 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: much like well, we weren't locked down yet because that 83 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: was March, but we spent it at home. Remember, we 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: made homemade pasta and we ended up having to so 85 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: last Valentine's Day, Mike was really wanting wanting it to 86 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: be special because we just kind of went through a 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: little thing last January, and he was just he was 88 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: putting so much pressure to make homemade pasta and basically 89 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: it ended up looking like yogurt. 90 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: Well, no, I just I second guessed myself because I 91 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: was going by this recipe, and the recipe was like, oh, basically, 92 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: you don't have to boil the pasta before you put 93 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 3: it in the pot with the sauce. I was like, 94 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: what that doesn't make freaking sense. But all right, like 95 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 3: who am I to say otherwise? And then it's just 96 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: like doughey, limp noodles. 97 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. It was one big bowl. 98 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it was like we were noodles back to 99 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: their home, which became one big ball of dough. 100 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: Oh were those things that my grandma used to make dumplings? Dumplings? 101 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 2: They looks like one big dumpling. 102 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. So we ended up ordering food. 103 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: No, we ended up making well, yeah, so yeah, we 104 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: ended up making or No, we ended up ordering from 105 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: a place in Nashville. But this so this Valentine's Day, 106 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: I was like, babe, let's just get pre made noodles, 107 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: let's get some fasta sauce. 108 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,119 Speaker 3: You're lucky we're not home. I'll totally try to redo 109 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 3: it and do it right this time. 110 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: But it was great. A little bath, a little airwork. 111 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: It was a good day. 112 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: I wonder though, because a lot of people don't like 113 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: to celebrate Valentine's Day because they call it like a 114 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: hallmark holiday. 115 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 3: It is. 116 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: I mean, well, then what's Mother's Day? 117 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 3: Appreciate mothers? 118 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: Well, then what's Valentine's Day? A day to appreciate your. 119 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: Day for making money for all these companies Christmas? 120 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: Remember we learned about Christmas what Christmas was when we 121 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: were watching the Scrooge and we looked at when did 122 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Christmas actually start? And was to make money for the companies? 123 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Remember when we looked that up. So it's like the 124 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: same thing. I mean, it's all essentially the same. 125 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: Well, no, our question was when did Christmas become commercialized? Right? 126 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: But it became commercialized because of the money and right. 127 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: But there's still you know, the wise men brought gifts. 128 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: Why are men so against Valentine's Day? Like you're fighting Valide? 129 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: Because here's the deal. Here's the deal. It's not really 130 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 3: a if you. 131 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: Say here's the deal twice or like more serious, No, 132 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: if I. 133 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 3: Say it three times and I'm really serious. So here's 134 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: the deal. It's they don't put a name on it, 135 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: and it's in terms of Mother's Day or Father's Day 136 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: where it's one specific person. Right, But the way society 137 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 3: has been it puts the pressure on the mail to 138 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 3: have a you know, give a great gesture of love 139 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: and the women just naturally are the receivers of that, 140 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 3: and it's like false. Wait a second. You get your birthday, 141 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 3: you get Mother's Day for your mother, we get Christmas anniversaries. 142 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: You're telling me that we have to take another day 143 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: out of a month and say, hey, honey, here's all 144 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: the stuff to show that I love you. 145 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: Because you don't have to be money. You could just 146 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: write a nice handwritten card and say I really value 147 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: and love you and you're my Valentine. 148 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: Mark. Done good. 149 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never asked for any gift on Valentine's The 150 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: only reason you got me last year was because you 151 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: ruined Christmas and got me a biday for Christmas. 152 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: Okay, some cultures, that's a win. 153 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: Mark. 154 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: Can you back me up on this? Do you feel 155 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: more pressure that's next for you? Do you feel more 156 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: pressure as a male for Valentine's Day? I do. 157 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm very much enjoying the show. I 158 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: was muted, but I was laughing out loud. So I 159 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: just wanted you guys to know that I think that 160 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: they're all Hallmark holidays. All holidays are made up, so 161 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't see why one is more than the other. 162 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: So I don't know that I can go with you 163 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: on that, Michael. No one really knows when Jesus was born. 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: They just picked a day. 165 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: But yes, there's a lot of pressure.

And this 203 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: is what I told him, because we actually got into 204 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: a huge fight about it because he's like, I was like, you, 205 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 2: what you don't get and what you're missing is that 206 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how much you spend. I mean, sure, 207 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: diamonds are great. Every woman loves diamonds. I was like, 208 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: it's the intention, the intent and the intention behind the gift. 209 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: He got me this thing from probably uncommon goods. It 210 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: probably was like maybe a hundred bucks, and it was 211 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: the most thoughtful gift I've ever gotten from him. It 212 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: was like it was a Chicago map where we met. 213 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: It was like a little heart pin and I it 214 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 2: was just like, Wow, that's so sweet, and I'm like, 215 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: I love that more than the diamond this you gave 216 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: to me that I wear once, you know. So it's 217 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: truly for women. It's about the intention, and I think 218 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: going back to Valentine's Day, it's just about appreciation and 219 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: telling that person you appreciate them and that you love them. 220 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 2: That you don't have to do grand gestures.

You know, but I'm like, you 511 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 4: don't know me. This is my life. 512 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 3: So give our listeners kind of like your elevator pitch 513 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 3: of what your business you started and created is. 514 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. So when I quit my job, I basically quit 515 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 4: because what I realized was my friends who were bloggers 516 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 4: and New York Times bestsellers and on TV and all 517 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: that they were doing a great job doing their craft, 518 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 4: which was writing books or being on TV or writing 519 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: their blog, but they were trash at making money like 520 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 4: it just they had no corporate skills and frankly, they 521 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 4: weren't supposed to be. And a lot of people beat 522 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 4: themselves up because they're like, I don't know how to 523 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: profit from my skills for my gifts. I just know 524 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 4: how to do the thing I do well, and I 525 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: know that I need or they're all smart enough. Most 526 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 4: of us are smart enough to realize I need more 527 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 4: money coming from different places, but we don't know how 528 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 4: to do it. So that's what I do. I opened 529 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 4: up an online school called one K One Day Academy, 530 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 4: and basically that's what I do is I walk people 531 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: through education courses much like college, but it's like the 532 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,120 Speaker 4: stuff you actually need, where I show you how to 533 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 4: do everything from building online store to sourcing it with 534 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 4: products to opening up a business bank account, just like 535 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 4: the real skills you need to have. So that that way, 536 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 4: if you're an influencer, you're actually getting paid. 537 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 538 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 4: Thanks, It makes a lot of sense. 539 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 3: It does. 540 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: And it's like, you know the fact that you know 541 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 2: it's attainable too, you know, oh totally. It's helping people 542 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 2: the steps of what they need to do to you know, 543 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 2: get ahead, to get ahead. 544 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 545 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 3: From yea from a motivational standpoint, let me ask this 546 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 3: at kind of asking for a friend here, someone who 547 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: who wants to start you know, more of a passion 548 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 3: project business. And but I find myself where my friend 549 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 3: finds themselves questioning, like having days where it's like one 550 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: day you're more motivated than other days. You're like, are 551 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 3: people really going to get this? Do they? Is this 552 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 3: really something I want to do? You know? What what 553 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 3: do you tell? You know, your clients and the people 554 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 3: you work with, like, yes, believe, continue to believe and 555 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 3: get it going. 556 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I know that for a lot of people. 557 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 4: The way my brain works is it works corporate style, right, 558 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 4: so it's more tactical and less emotional. But what's great 559 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: is that translates into action. So like odds are for 560 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 4: you or your friend, Like you know, it's a situation 561 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 4: where I wonder if my idea is good enough. Well, 562 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 4: the reality is all ideas usually have a home. I mean, 563 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 4: if you think about it, Steve Jobs, when he held 564 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: up the iPhone, he didn't invent something new phones existed, 565 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 4: He just took buttons off of it, you know, like 566 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 4: little tweaks can make a whole new thing. So what 567 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: I would tell that person is, instead of comparing yourself 568 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 4: to somebody with big brand ideas who's super accomplished and 569 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 4: has already hit a million dollars, just realize you can 570 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 4: start small, like you literally, just launch it small, see 571 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 4: how it goes, then expand and make it bigger. Oftentimes 572 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 4: we just say to ourselves in our brain, it's not 573 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 4: going to be successful if it doesn't blow up right away. 574 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 4: But the reality is that's not how ninety nine percent 575 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 4: of stuff in business doesn't work out that way. Everything 576 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 4: starts small first. So though odds are, you can do it. 577 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 4: If you think you can get what one hundred sales, 578 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 4: ten sales, you can get a million of them. So 579 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 4: start small. 580 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 3: I love it. 581 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, what so the show that you're doing, what what 582 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: can people expect with that? I mean, especially like your 583 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: dynamic with your husband and tell us all about that. 584 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: Well, so my husband's not a cool kid, right, Like, 585 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 4: he doesn't look like this in a hat. He's a 586 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 4: round Jewish lawyer, kind of shaped like a bowling pin. 587 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 4: But I'm into that. So it works. You know, it's 588 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 4: like it works out well, very hot, very hot. I'm 589 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 4: into his brain. So so that said, our show is 590 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 4: a little bit of both sides. You know, I'm a 591 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 4: working mom, right so I'm spending time in the office, 592 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 4: I'm on stage. I have these top celebrity clients. I'm 593 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: building businesses, making a multimillions. But then I go home 594 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 4: and I can't get my kids to shower regularly. You know, 595 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 4: I can't get them to get their lives together. I 596 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 4: can't get my you know, eighteen year old to move 597 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 4: out of my house. You know, I mean these are 598 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 4: all the things that every mom deals with. And it's 599 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 4: hilarious to watch. You know, someone who people think is 600 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 4: a boss, you know, not be in charge of anything. 601 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 3: So get home and just get owned by everybody else. 602 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 4: Owned totally owned. I mean, I go in and I 603 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: was just joking. Yesterday, my nine year old comes to 604 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 4: me and she's like, so I have to write an 605 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 4: article about a famous African American for a Black History Month. 606 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 4: And so I'm of course coughing, like famous, I'm black, 607 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 4: I know.

Recently, this past summer, my sister opened up 651 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: to me about her marriage and the issues they were 652 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: struggling with. I thought they were making progress, coming to 653 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: find out, over the summer, my brother in law said 654 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: he could not stay in the marriage any longer and 655 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: left her and the. 656 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: Two kids at home. 657 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: He even started speaking to another woman, but he didn't 658 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: say anything wrong with that because he was just trying 659 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: to find himself. Long story short, they've been working on 660 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: their marriage. They've began couple's therapy, he stopped speaking to 661 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: other women, and he moved back into the family home. 662 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: My struggle is, how do I move on from the 663 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: pain he caused my sister? How do I move on 664 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: and forgive him for leaving his kids and his family 665 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: and thinking he was doing the right thing. Janna, how 666 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: did your family ever forgive Mike? Did he ever have 667 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: a conver with your family after everything that happened between 668 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: you two. 669 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and start with this. Yes, I did 670 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: have many conversations with you know, Jana's family, pretty much 671 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 3: everyone in her family at some point, and it was very, 672 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 3: very difficult. But here's the thing, and this is what 673 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 3: everyone in Jana's family told me when I would talk 674 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: to them about these things. They say, look, we're not 675 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: happy about this right now. Obviously we don't approve of 676 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 3: what you did, Mike, But at the end of the day, 677 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: we love Jana, and if Jana chooses to love you, 678 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 3: then we'll choose to love you too, or we'll choose 679 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: to support her in loving you. So they just watch Jana. 680 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 3: They just observe her. They feed off of her energy. 681 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: They and you know, as the time goes and we 682 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 3: have more and more moments together around the family, it 683 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 3: gets more and more comfortable. People will realize, Hey, you know, 684 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 3: we can do this. We are doing this. I don't 685 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 3: have to be defined by my past actions, and now 686 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: my relationship with all of them is fantastic, probably better 687 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: than it's ever been, you know, from a connected standpoint 688 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: for sure, with everybody. So yeah, that's what I would 689 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: have to say, is just look at your sister and 690 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 3: feed off of her energy. And it's your job as 691 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 3: her sister too. Yeah, speak your truth, but also to 692 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 3: love and support her and her decisions. And this is 693 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 3: what she wants. Then you got to learn to deal 694 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 3: with that. Now, if he hasn't talked to you, you 695 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 3: do have the right to talk to him about it 696 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: and express your feelings. 697 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you have a right for that. And 698 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: also on the other side of it, he didn't do 699 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: anything directly like, yes, he hurt your sister and that's 700 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: wrong and that's bad, but he is not your husband, boyfriend, lover, 701 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 2: like he didn't hurt you. So sometimes if you bring 702 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: in that negative energy to your sister, that's going to 703 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: affect your sister's thought process with things, and that's not 704 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: fair either. Is this making sense, Like it's it wasn't 705 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: a personal attack towards her, and so to not don't 706 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: take it on as a personal attack. 707 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 3: Right, But it's almost I make up that it's almost harder, 708 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 3: right because if you're not directly affected, you don't have 709 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 3: that that confusion of but I love this person, but 710 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 3: they hurt me type of conflict like you know, like 711 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 3: maybe you have or you've had in the past with 712 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 3: me where it's like she just sees red or she 713 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 3: just sees enemy because she wasn't directly right, so you. 714 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 2: Know, but it's also not her place too. 715 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean she has to go, you know, shooting 716 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: from the hip and causing shit. But it's almost easier 717 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 3: to be angry. 718 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: It's easier for It's almost one thousand percent easier for 719 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 2: her to be angry. But I just want her to 720 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 2: remember that, you know, the best thing you can do 721 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: for your sister is just show support. And also if 722 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 2: you have feelings and he hasn't talked to you, then 723 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: be like, hey, is it cool if I have a 724 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 2: conversation with him, because it is a personal thing, it 725 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 2: is your sister. But I also like, try to remember 726 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: that it's not your life. That yes, it affected it, it's. 727 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 3: Something affect indirectly affected. 728 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: But it's not you weren't directly affected. I feel like 729 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 2: I'm being insensitive, but I hope you guys know what I'm. 730 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 3: Trying to say now. It's just being directly versus indirectly effective. 731 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, it's not Janille's life. 732 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 3: It's her sister's life and decision. So she can have 733 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 3: her thoughts, she can have her feelings. Janille can she 734 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 3: can you know, express them in a healthy way, but 735 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 3: it is her sister's decision. It is her sister's life. 736 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 2: And you're going to have to. You know, you don't 737 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 2: have to like it, but if you want to be comfortable, 738 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 2: you're going to have to, you know, Like, I'm sure 739 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 2: there's plenty of times where my mom, you know, did 740 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: not like Michael, but she's still tried, you know, when 741 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 2: she's still put on the happy face because she knew 742 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 2: that I needed that of her. So now if it 743 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 2: continues to happen, then of course you have to have 744 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 2: tough love. If you're like, I can't have this in 745 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 2: my life anymore, like I you know I have. We 746 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 2: have a friend whose sister keeps staying in an abusive relationship, 747 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 2: and she's like, I can't keep watching you go through this. 748 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 2: That's it, you know, when it continuously happens, that is 749 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: affecting your life more and you sometimes you're like, I can't, 750 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 2: I can't have this. I can't be in front of 751 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 2: him knowing this is happening. So do you have anything else? 752 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: This is from Danielle Jenna. How do you deal with 753 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: your anxiety and ways you cope since the pandemic. I've 754 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,479 Speaker 1: noticed I've been getting more anxiety, and I've been trying 755 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: to find ways to deal with it better. I just 756 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: had my second baby, so I've been home a lot 757 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: with my family and my husband. But I'm longing for 758 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the days to get back to normalcy, aren't we all, 759 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 1: Danielle preach. 760 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you, Danielle. And it's been it's been tough. 761 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: I think what I have to. There's been a few 762 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 2: things that I've done, even here in Vancouver, when I 763 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 2: started to get anxiety. I don't know if you're religious, 764 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: but a lot of times I ask for God to 765 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 2: take away my anxiety. To help me with it. I 766 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 2: do grounding exercises, so I either count five, four, three, 767 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 2: two one, or I literally count my fingers all the 768 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: way to ten. I'll go outside put my feet in 769 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 2: the grass. That's a grounding exercise, and it just kind 770 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: of brings your body back to reality, back to here, 771 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 2: back to what's not in your brain happening. Also, another 772 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 2: grounding exercise is if you're in a room, listen to 773 00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 2: things like what's something that you notice right now that 774 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 2: you can hear, or that you can see, or that 775 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 2: you can feel, and that again grounds you, takes you back. 776 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 2: Meditation is really helpful therapy if you do emdr and 777 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 2: it's really good for anxiety to kind of bring up 778 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 2: things that you're needing to cope with. Maybe that's more 779 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 2: trauma underneath, and then you know, get juju with it 780 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 2: and get some oils in. 781 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 3: Lavender and yeah, just Danielle, honestly, you know, go to Google. 782 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 2: Tell someone too, by the way. 783 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 3: Go to Google and just type in search for like 784 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 3: mindfulness exercises, and that's just a way to again kind 785 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 3: of like Jana saying, getting grounded, but it's a way 786 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 3: to take your mind and focus it on things that 787 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 3: are in front of you right in that moment, rather 788 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 3: than things that are outside of your control. 789 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 4: Yep. 790 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: And just know that I would say I'm fine, I'm 791 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 2: not dying, I will be okay. And sometimes the best 792 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 2: thing that I've ever done for myself is when I 793 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 2: do have an anxiety, I say, whoever I'm with right now, 794 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 2: I'm having an anxiety attack, and the second someone comes 795 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 2: in and helps me, or Mike and he's like, okay, 796 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 2: like what are you okay? Like what do you need 797 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: to sit down? I feel better knowing that I'm not alone. 798 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 2: So hope that helps.
