WEBVTT - Love Lockdown

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Wind Down with Jana Kramer and Michael Kaufman and iHeart

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:06.359
<v Speaker 1>Radio Podcast.

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>We have two more days until we're free.

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 3>But as you're saying earlier.

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, they don't know what I was saying earlier.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, off air, it's going quick.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Off air, it was like doom and gloom, and I'm like,

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean we're doing this? Once we said

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 2>the first three days were really hard, and then it

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 2>was like we need to, Like because I was talking

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 2>to my friend pamelin back home and I said, once

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>we set a schedule for each day, like, it just

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>helps everything. I think it helps my anxiety too. I'm like, okay,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I know from ten to eleven we're outside, eleven to

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>twelve is lunch, twelve thirty, j just goes down, you know.

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.199
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like it's made the days go by

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot faster.

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 3>It has what I'm realizing, my tape job on my

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 3>headphones is coming off with what is going on. What

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm is, I'm like, why does this feel so different?

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Because we spent so much the last year like not leaving,

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 3>not doing anything. But I'm like, well, last year we

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 3>could still technically leave the house, Like I still went

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 3>to the grocery.

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Store and you went to home depot. I'm like, honey,

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>is that essential going down? She's like building this thing

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 2>for the kids. Absolutely?

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And but I'm like, now these two weeks we

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 3>weren't allowed to go anywhere.

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not it's not a recommended, it's a

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>you're staying or you'll go to jail for right six months.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>It's like, if we want to run the risk.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm dying, doant drink some mon?

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god?

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Your so.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Yeah, we run the risk of someone actually coming

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>to the house and doing like a house call and

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 3>checking it we're here.

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh which, sorry, that just scared me. I'm like,

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I think they just showed up.

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Is your wardrobe guy?

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So yeah, it's it's been and that part, that

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>part was what was giving me anxiety. But at the

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>same time, there's people online that were like, stop complaining,

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>like we're all in a pandemic right now, We're all

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.239
<v Speaker 2>can't we all can't leave. And I'm like, that's technically not.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean in California you can't really, but it's like

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>you're still go somewhere right, No.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 3>One, here's the thing again, here's the difference. No one's

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>gonna possibly show up at your door to make sure

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.239
<v Speaker 3>you're at home. You have the freedom to leave. Yeah,

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 3>in theory we could, but we run the risk of

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 3>getting like a seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>or possible imprisonment. I really don't want to do that.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>No, and we've already done it like we're used to.

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>I think what I said to someone, I was like, honestly,

0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just about the comfort of your own home. Yeah,

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 2>I know we talked about that last week, but I uh, yeah,

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like wherever I am with y'all is home.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 3>We do a good job at making that happen for

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>ourselves and for the kids.

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sorry to Peter, but Wednesday we're going to

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the zoo. I got us lined up to go to

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the van Uber Zoo on Wednesday, nice little tour. I'm like, well,

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what's so ironically sad about that? What I

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>just thought of it, This is terrible. We're free that day,

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>but the animals are not free, you know. We're like,

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.119
<v Speaker 2>we're basically the caged animals right now.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 3>So what you're saying when we go to the zoo

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 3>and we're cast suck at line. We're free.

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 2>No, but I feel bad. No, but I genuinely feel bad.

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Now now I get it, like I'm a we're zoo goers.

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 3>We are we are zoo goers, and.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm oh my god. They live that life every day.

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>They can't roam free, they can't. I feel terrible.

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 3>You can all of a sudden become a non zoo goer.

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Peta, Yeah, I feel terrible now after we go to

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Vancouverso yeah, after because I need to get out.

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So we celebrated Valentine's Day in lockdown quarantine and

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 3>we made them most of it.

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Last Valentine's Day we were also well, it was pretty

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>much like well, we weren't locked down yet because that

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>was March, but we spent it at home. Remember, we

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>made homemade pasta and we ended up having to so

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 2>last Valentine's Day, Mike was really wanting wanting it to

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>be special because we just kind of went through a

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>little thing last January, and he was just he was

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 2>putting so much pressure to make homemade pasta and basically

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 2>it ended up looking like yogurt.

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, I just I second guessed myself because I

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 3>was going by this recipe, and the recipe was like, oh, basically,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to boil the pasta before you put

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 3>it in the pot with the sauce. I was like,

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 3>what that doesn't make freaking sense. But all right, like

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 3>who am I to say otherwise? And then it's just

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 3>like doughey, limp noodles.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>No, it wasn't. It was one big bowl.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, it was like we were noodles back to

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>their home, which became one big ball of dough.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh were those things that my grandma used to make dumplings? Dumplings?

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:06.679
<v Speaker 2>They looks like one big dumpling.

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So we ended up ordering food.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 2>No, we ended up making well, yeah, so yeah, we

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>ended up making or No, we ended up ordering from

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 2>a place in Nashville. But this so this Valentine's Day,

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, babe, let's just get pre made noodles,

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>let's get some fasta sauce.

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.119
<v Speaker 3>You're lucky we're not home. I'll totally try to redo

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 3>it and do it right this time.

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>But it was great. A little bath, a little airwork.

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 3>It was a good day.

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I wonder though, because a lot of people don't like

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to celebrate Valentine's Day because they call it like a

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>hallmark holiday.

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, then what's Mother's Day?

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate mothers?

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, then what's Valentine's Day? A day to appreciate your.

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Day for making money for all these companies Christmas?

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Remember we learned about Christmas what Christmas was when we

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 2>were watching the Scrooge and we looked at when did

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Christmas actually start? And was to make money for the companies?

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Remember when we looked that up. So it's like the

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>same thing. I mean, it's all essentially the same.

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, our question was when did Christmas become commercialized? Right?

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>But it became commercialized because of the money and right.

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 3>But there's still you know, the wise men brought gifts.

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Why are men so against Valentine's Day? Like you're fighting Valide?

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Because here's the deal. Here's the deal. It's not really

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 3>a if you.

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Say here's the deal twice or like more serious, No,

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 2>if I.

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 3>Say it three times and I'm really serious. So here's

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 3>the deal. It's they don't put a name on it,

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 3>and it's in terms of Mother's Day or Father's Day

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 3>where it's one specific person. Right, But the way society

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 3>has been it puts the pressure on the mail to

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 3>have a you know, give a great gesture of love

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 3>and the women just naturally are the receivers of that,

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 3>and it's like false. Wait a second. You get your birthday,

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 3>you get Mother's Day for your mother, we get Christmas anniversaries.

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 3>You're telling me that we have to take another day

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 3>out of a month and say, hey, honey, here's all

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 3>the stuff to show that I love you.

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Because you don't have to be money. You could just

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>write a nice handwritten card and say I really value

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and love you and you're my Valentine.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Mark. Done good.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've never asked for any gift on Valentine's The

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>only reason you got me last year was because you

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>ruined Christmas and got me a biday for Christmas.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, some cultures, that's a win.

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Mark.

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Can you back me up on this? Do you feel

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 3>more pressure that's next for you? Do you feel more

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 3>pressure as a male for Valentine's Day? I do.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I'm very much enjoying the show. I

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>was muted, but I was laughing out loud. So I

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>just wanted you guys to know that I think that

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>they're all Hallmark holidays. All holidays are made up, so

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't see why one is more than the other.

0:07:58.280 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know that I can go with you

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>on that, Michael. No one really knows when Jesus was born.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 3>They just picked a day.

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>But yes, there's a lot of pressure. And I have

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>an issue because my wife's birthday is two weeks before

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day and it's all right after Christmas, so it's

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>like three under row bam bam bama. So I gotta

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>plot it out. I gotta start planning, and I got to, like,

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I have a list in my notes section

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>in my phone where I can like organize what goes

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to what birthday and what goes to Valentine's Day and

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>what goes to Christmas.

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Otherwise I'm going to be out of luck.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to being a woman. We have that, I have that,

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>like the whole year planned out, like Father's Day, that

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>his birthday. I mean, that's just what a woman does.

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm proud of you that you even have that,

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>because I have to be like Mike, write it down.

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I would like it.

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 3>The last time I did that, I got her bed

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 3>day and she hated it because.

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't ask for it, did you kid? Oh my God.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I literally said, we're going to go back to you, Mark,

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 2>but I know joke. We were at a friend's house

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, ooh, this warm seat feels really nice.

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>You said I didn't want nice as my main gift

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 2>for Christmas.

0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Your driver to pick and chooese. I'm the gonna give it.

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 3>It was just the warmth of the seat.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't that I don't like. I don't even use

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>the spritzer. I don't use the spritzer. I just like

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a heated seat. I like it. I like I like

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 2>a good old heated seat. But I didn't want it

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:12.079
<v Speaker 2>for Christmas.

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 3>And so the only said a lot of money on

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>that one, Mike, I don't know, because then I ended

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 3>up paying having to pay for it to double down

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>this last Christmas too.

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh it needed to be spectacular.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 3>And I killed it.

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's okay, no, but that's the thing. And this

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 2>is what I told him, because we actually got into

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 2>a huge fight about it because he's like, I was like, you,

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 2>what you don't get and what you're missing is that

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter how much you spend. I mean, sure,

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>diamonds are great. Every woman loves diamonds. I was like,

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>it's the intention, the intent and the intention behind the gift.

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>He got me this thing from probably uncommon goods. It

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>probably was like maybe a hundred bucks, and it was

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the most thoughtful gift I've ever gotten from him. It

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>was like it was a Chicago map where we met.

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 2>It was like a little heart pin and I it

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>was just like, Wow, that's so sweet, and I'm like,

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I love that more than the diamond this you gave

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 2>to me that I wear once, you know. So it's

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>truly for women. It's about the intention, and I think

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 2>going back to Valentine's Day, it's just about appreciation and

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 2>telling that person you appreciate them and that you love them.

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>That you don't have to do grand gestures. But sure,

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry that we get four things out of

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 2>the year to show that it should be every day

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>and that.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 3>You should Valentine's Day and that of course defense rest.

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, you're no no. What I'm saying is

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.719
<v Speaker 2>like we should have we should have every day. You

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 2>should show us that you appreciate and love us and

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 2>write little sweet notes. But can you at least do

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>four out of three hundred and sixty five or however

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>many days there are in a year.

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, we don't get actually better when we do do

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 3>more than.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 2>That, Sure you do. We're a lot softer and nicer.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 2>What are you laughing at, Mark.

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm just enjoying this. This is I mean, because you

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 3>make really good points. You both make a really good point.

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 3>You know what, Mark, I'm going to put that to

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 3>the test in the year twenty twenty one where Valentine's

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 3>or we already did Valentine's and I had no choice

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 3>but to be just sentimental and cheap. But move forward

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Mother's Day, birthday, anniversary.

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying you have to be I'm just saying,

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 2>like there's.

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go super inexpensive and just sentimental. And guess

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 3>what one of those days is going to be a

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 3>lottery pick where she's gonna get the grand slam of

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 3>no material gift. All she's gonna get is eye contact

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 3>intentional words. I'm saying, Honey, I love, I appreciate you

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:33.839
<v Speaker 3>so much, and that'll be your gift. It's got to

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 3>be written down.

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Already down to you like you sound kind of like

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you sound kind of arrogant right now, like you got

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 2>it at least like like I said, frame it, you know,

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and I did that and it was amazing. It was

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>my favorite gift. And I still haven't.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 3>You just said, you said, how do I sound arrogant?

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, you just sound kind of like like we don't

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>deserve I'm gonna write something down and make a card.

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that that's part of it. I'm saying,

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 3>if you really think there's no material isn't behind it?

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 2>For Valentine's Day? No, I don't think so. For a birthday?

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>And for Christmas, yeah, I think you know something nice,

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, if that's what we agree on. If not

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 2>for like kay, let's just do the deck next year,

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>then we agree on it. But I'm not that girl

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to say I want a deck for Christmas, you know,

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>like most couples say, like it's our couch. I don't

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 2>want a couch for Christmas, you know what I mean.

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>I would like a nice pair of shoes. I don't

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 2>want to be like, well we had we spent a

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of money on the couch this year. When you

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>buy yourself ten guns, you know. Anyways, I rest my case,

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and now we're gonna get comments of how materialistic and

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:41.079
<v Speaker 2>whatever we are.

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>No I think you make a good point. I think

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a combination. It's got to be sentimental. But gifts

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>are nice. Everyone loves getting gifts. Valentine's Day, Birthday, Mother's Day,

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the four days a year, guys have to step up.

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the message.

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And that's the thing. I have no issue with it.

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 3>It's hmm, or don't.

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Sound like you have an issue, like you get.

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 4>Four days out of the year.

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Where I have the issue is when at times women

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 3>will say, oh, it's not about this, it's not about that.

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 3>I just want to know I'm appreciated. I don't know

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 3>it yet, No, no matter what it is, and or

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 3>even we even said who is it? Your brother? Your

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 3>brother and his fiancee. They even said, hey, don't get it.

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Don't She even said, don't get me a gift, and

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 3>he said okay. And the day come, he didn't get

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 3>her a gift, she said, and she got him with

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 3>she said, what the where's my gift? He said, you

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 3>told me not to get you a gift.

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's different. I've never told you not to get

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>me something.

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 3>I agree. I'm not saying you have I'm just saying

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 3>women in general, this Yeah, that is a thing out

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 3>there where if men, if you and I agreed, hey,

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 3>let's not get an any you know, get each other

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 3>anything for Christmas. As a guy, I'll be like, Okay,

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 3>we're not getting each other anything for Christmas. You knowing you,

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 3>you'd probably still get me something.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Of course I would, because I appreciate you. That's the thing.

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 2>It's about appreciation and being like I appreciate you. Whether

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 2>it's five hundred dollars or five bucks, it's showing appreciation.

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 3>But what if we agreed not to get each.

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I still think you still get something small? God, we

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>do so much like we do, We do so much,

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and we all we get are four days. Some only

<v Speaker 2>get three if they're not a mom.

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I just text you?

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing like if kids' birthday parties, I'm like,

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the time. I feel bad, but thanks

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 2>for the unicorn for my daughter, right right exactly.

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm always like, why are you even putting me in

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 4>this position? I need thank you cardless friendships. I need

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 4>you to understand I don't want that pressure, you know,

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 4>because it's it's the layers to a thank you card.

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 4>It's I need stamps, I have to get to a

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 4>post office. Well why stamps? Like what is that?

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I well, And here's the thing too with that is

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, when I get a thank you card, it

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do anything for me, you know. So I'm like,

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I just I personally am like, well, of course you

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>you're thankful that I you know, like you don't need

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm always and I say to my friends, like,

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you don't need to write a think you card? Like

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 2>do not write a.

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you card? Yes, it's pressure because.

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm like and I'm like, it's just wasteless, and like

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:06.959
<v Speaker 2>I got time to I got to open it. Up.

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I compare it to ringing the doorbell, right. I always

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.679
<v Speaker 3>make the joke like if you ring our doorbell, that

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 3>means you don't belong here. You walk in. You either

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 3>know the door code or you just walk in. So

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 3>if you send me a thank you card, we're not friends.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 3>You don't know us exactly right.

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 4>It's like, honestly, whenever I get a card, I kind

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 4>of recondo it. I'm like, I hold it to my

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.959
<v Speaker 4>heart and I'm like, Okay, sentiment received, and then I

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 4>throw it in the trash, Like what am I supposed

0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 4>to do with this thing? You know? I know, I

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 4>get it.

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I know we're getting super off topic, but it's kind

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 2>of the same thing. Even like I love doing the

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Christmas cards, but we don't have anywhere to put them,

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 2>so I just feel bad like putting people in a drawer,

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 2>do you.

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.879
<v Speaker 4>Know what I mean? Like their whole family in the drawer,

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 4>every single piece of it.

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's the one that even this past year, I

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 3>was like, Jane, we need like one of those little

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.680
<v Speaker 3>decorative like trees to put it on, because that's the one.

0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I do feel bad because I know we go and

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 3>actually these pictures and people put effort and pay money

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 3>to have them professionally done, right, And so I'm like, yeah,

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be throwing in a drawer money

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 3>and think.

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 4>About it like I have to buy furniture to display

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 4>your photo at this point, Like I mean, if you

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.920
<v Speaker 4>don't put me in that position, you know what I mean?

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 4>This is supposed to be a relationship of depth, Like

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 4>what do we do except it virtually where I can

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 4>then add it to a nice little folder, you know

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 4>what I mean, post it on my page, let the

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 4>world know how cute, and then we move on with

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 4>our lives. Like it's what it is. I get it,

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 4>you guys, get me listen.

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for coming on our show already. You're just I mean,

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.439
<v Speaker 2>you're a total boss. Can we just back up for

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>a second though, because I mean, we insured you in

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the very beginning, but you quit your job online.

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 4>I did live in front of ten thousand people because

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 4>were you?

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Just like I'm done, drop the mic, like what did

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you like?

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 4>What was your classy? Like? I was raised right, just

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.879
<v Speaker 4>like I don't show up at people's houses unannounced, you know,

0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, I was like raised right. No, it was

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 4>a situ situation where I already had built a place

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 4>for me to go, so like I was going to

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 4>hire myself, Like I knew that I had a thing

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 4>out of myself. Yeah, I had a plan. So it

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 4>was really just I called my boss and I said, hey,

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, this isn't an alignment, you know I'm It

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 4>was actually people don't know this. It was right before

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 4>a performance review, so like my annual performance review, and

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 4>he was like, oh, I'm so excited to talk to

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 4>you about all the cool new things for that coming year.

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.399
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, pump the brakes on that because

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to be here.

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 3>And that was that I might have if I was

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.640
<v Speaker 3>in your shoes. I ought to wait for the performance

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 3>review just to get that validation, right because you know,

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.600
<v Speaker 3>you probably you know, you probably killed it. Like Nicole,

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.440
<v Speaker 3>you are amazing. We can't we see our future with you.

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much. By the way, I'm.

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.639
<v Speaker 4>Out right right right right. It's like, oh, well, it's

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 4>really funny you say that because I'll be transitioning all

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 4>my logins because yeah, I'm not going to be here.

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.639
<v Speaker 2>So what made you want to do that in front

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 2>of ten thousand people? Like what was that?

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Wow? The incentive so I mean, like, obviously you've had

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 4>the people who are like the flight attendant to like,

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, dispatch the emergency thing, and it wasn't one

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 4>of those. Like what it was was I'd been detailing

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 4>my journey online already, so like people saw me building

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 4>the business and getting clients and like I was already

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.120
<v Speaker 4>sharing that. And so the truth was I wasn't planning

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 4>on sharing my quick day ever, Like that was not

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 4>a thing. But I told everyone, Hey, I'm doing it today.

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll be back later to let you know how it goes.

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 4>And everyone was like, no, no, no, no, no, keep

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 4>us on the line. We've been following the journey. We

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 4>want to watch it live. So that's what happened. They

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:31.400
<v Speaker 4>end up seeing the whole thing.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 3>That's very crazy.

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy.

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 2>And now you have a show. That's when is it airing?

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:38.560
<v Speaker 2>It's on USA, right.

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's on USA. It's airing on February twenty fifth

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 4>at ten thirty pm Eastern on USA network.

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and then you have three three kids and they're adopted.

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 2>We read that right, So you did you try to

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 2>have kids and you didn't or was it just adoption?

0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>You always wanted to do that and that was just

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 2>your route neither.

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 4>So we had pretty much said to ourselves, we're not

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 4>even going to try until we're I'm like thirty two,

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, let's hang out, let's be married, then you know,

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 4>get stuff done. And then we actually got our kids

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.400
<v Speaker 4>by we were driving in Baltimore City and we met

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.440
<v Speaker 4>a woman on the side of the street and she

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.199
<v Speaker 4>was panhandled. I'm so serious, like she's panhandling with her

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 4>with her three year old. And so we were talking

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 4>to her and she mentioned she had two more kids

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.440
<v Speaker 4>at home, so we were like, well, maybe we can

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 4>help mentor get you guys some groceries. And long story short,

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 4>we found out she was going to jail a year

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 4>after that, and or not a year, I'm sorry, a

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 4>month after that, and we said, okay, well what's the

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 4>plan with the kids and she said, I don't know,

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 4>and we said, okay, well we'll take them. So from

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 4>the moment we were on the side of the street,

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 4>thirty days later, we had the kids and we still

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:54.959
<v Speaker 4>have them and now I'm mom, not mentor wowntids. Yeah,

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 4>so we had it was a three year old and

0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 4>eleven year old and a fourteen year old all girls sister,

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness, Oh no, I'm not. Absolutely. I actively

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 4>try to keep them from licking outlets, you know, I

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 4>like I criticized even the fourteen year old right. Literally,

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 4>kids are trying to kill themselves constantly, and like you know,

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm always criticizing their eyebrows because that's like a family value.

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 4>So I'm very as a mom. I do the best

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 4>I can.

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.199
<v Speaker 3>Don't lie, eat right, and make sure your eyebrows are

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:26.440
<v Speaker 3>makes so you.

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 4>Get it, so so you get it clearly.

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Are you in Are you located in Baltimore?

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:33.800

<v Speaker 4>at heart, like entirely like love country music, love like all.

0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Like I was the girl at the front row of

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.880
<v Speaker 4>a Chris Young concert in Richmond, right, black girl cow.

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:01.919
<v Speaker 4>I had singing every lyric and people are like, what

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 4>are you talking about? You know, but I'm like, you

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 4>don't know me. This is my life.

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 3>So give our listeners kind of like your elevator pitch

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.199
<v Speaker 3>of what your business you started and created is.

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So when I quit my job, I basically quit

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 4>because what I realized was my friends who were bloggers

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 4>and New York Times bestsellers and on TV and all

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 4>that they were doing a great job doing their craft,

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 4>which was writing books or being on TV or writing

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 4>their blog, but they were trash at making money like

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.199
<v Speaker 4>it just they had no corporate skills and frankly, they

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.200
<v Speaker 4>weren't supposed to be. And a lot of people beat

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 4>themselves up because they're like, I don't know how to

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 4>profit from my skills for my gifts. I just know

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 4>how to do the thing I do well, and I

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 4>know that I need or they're all smart enough. Most

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 4>of us are smart enough to realize I need more

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 4>money coming from different places, but we don't know how

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.199
<v Speaker 4>to do it. So that's what I do. I opened

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 4>up an online school called one K One Day Academy,

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.160
<v Speaker 4>and basically that's what I do is I walk people

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 4>through education courses much like college, but it's like the

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:00.120
<v Speaker 4>stuff you actually need, where I show you how to

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 4>do everything from building online store to sourcing it with

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 4>products to opening up a business bank account, just like

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 4>the real skills you need to have. So that that way,

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.439
<v Speaker 4>if you're an influencer, you're actually getting paid.

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 4>Thanks, It makes a lot of sense.

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 3>It does.

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, you know the fact that you know

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 2>it's attainable too, you know, oh totally. It's helping people

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the steps of what they need to do to you know,

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 2>get ahead, to get ahead.

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 3>From yea from a motivational standpoint, let me ask this

0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 3>at kind of asking for a friend here, someone who

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 3>who wants to start you know, more of a passion

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:41.880
<v Speaker 3>project business. And but I find myself where my friend

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 3>finds themselves questioning, like having days where it's like one

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 3>day you're more motivated than other days. You're like, are

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.639
<v Speaker 3>people really going to get this? Do they? Is this

0:24:49.720 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 3>really something I want to do? You know? What what

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 3>do you tell? You know, your clients and the people

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 3>you work with, like, yes, believe, continue to believe and

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 3>get it going.

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I know that for a lot of people.

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 4>The way my brain works is it works corporate style, right,

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 4>so it's more tactical and less emotional. But what's great

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 4>is that translates into action. So like odds are for

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 4>you or your friend, Like you know, it's a situation

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 4>where I wonder if my idea is good enough. Well,

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 4>the reality is all ideas usually have a home. I mean,

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 4>if you think about it, Steve Jobs, when he held

0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 4>up the iPhone, he didn't invent something new phones existed,

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 4>He just took buttons off of it, you know, like

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 4>little tweaks can make a whole new thing. So what

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 4>I would tell that person is, instead of comparing yourself

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 4>to somebody with big brand ideas who's super accomplished and

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 4>has already hit a million dollars, just realize you can

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 4>start small, like you literally, just launch it small, see

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 4>how it goes, then expand and make it bigger. Oftentimes

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 4>we just say to ourselves in our brain, it's not

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 4>going to be successful if it doesn't blow up right away.

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 4>But the reality is that's not how ninety nine percent

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 4>of stuff in business doesn't work out that way. Everything

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 4>starts small first. So though odds are, you can do it.

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 4>If you think you can get what one hundred sales,

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 4>ten sales, you can get a million of them. So

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 4>start small.

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 3>I love it.

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what so the show that you're doing, what what

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 2>can people expect with that? I mean, especially like your

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 2>dynamic with your husband and tell us all about that.

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, so my husband's not a cool kid, right, Like,

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 4>he doesn't look like this in a hat. He's a

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 4>round Jewish lawyer, kind of shaped like a bowling pin.

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 4>But I'm into that. So it works. You know, it's

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 4>like it works out well, very hot, very hot. I'm

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:27.399
<v Speaker 4>into his brain. So so that said, our show is

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of both sides. You know, I'm a

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.360
<v Speaker 4>working mom, right so I'm spending time in the office,

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm on stage. I have these top celebrity clients. I'm

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 4>building businesses, making a multimillions. But then I go home

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 4>and I can't get my kids to shower regularly. You know,

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 4>I can't get them to get their lives together. I

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 4>can't get my you know, eighteen year old to move

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:50.360
<v Speaker 4>out of my house. You know, I mean these are

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 4>all the things that every mom deals with. And it's

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 4>hilarious to watch. You know, someone who people think is

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.919
<v Speaker 4>a boss, you know, not be in charge of anything.

0:26:59.000 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 3>So get home and just get owned by everybody else.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:05.159
<v Speaker 4>Owned totally owned. I mean, I go in and I

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 4>was just joking. Yesterday, my nine year old comes to

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 4>me and she's like, so I have to write an

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 4>article about a famous African American for a Black History Month.

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 4>And so I'm of course coughing, like famous, I'm black,

0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 4>I know. She looks at me and she's like, yeah, no,

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 4>I know, Like I know you're an African American, You're

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, but what what are you even famous for?

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Like what would you even be famous for? Like she

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 4>was really like in my face, and I was like,

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.119
<v Speaker 4>you know what, it's fine, it's fine. What's famous? She

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 4>was like, well, you don't even have a billboard. Even

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 4>the kid at the dentist has a billboard. I was like,

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 4>you know what, you know what, that's fine. So this

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.400
<v Speaker 4>is what my life is like what I mean, it's

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 4>like that.

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Well I can't wait to watch it, just to see

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 2>my future because the other day, Jolie just turned five.

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 2>She's like, I'm five, I can do whatever I want.

0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, oh god, here we go, and.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.640
<v Speaker 4>Of it, the reality of it, it's like a regular

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 4>They get into this I know that phase where it's

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.360
<v Speaker 4>like I know things because in their brain. They've been

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:09.919
<v Speaker 4>here forever at this point, Like, it's not a baby

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 4>is three, you know what I mean? A baby's not five.

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.400
<v Speaker 4>But I'm like, I literally was fishing your turns out

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 4>of the bathtub like five minutes ago.

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I watch you ask yesterday. Now all of a

0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:20.439
<v Speaker 3>sudden you can do whatever you want. Like, all of a.

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:22.959
<v Speaker 4>Sudden, you can do it everyone. That's not how that goes, Like,

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 4>are you kidding me? But you know, it's the joy

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 4>of parenting.

<v Speaker 3>AWESO, Thanks Nicole. We appreciate a big times.

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Bye bye, Hey Mark, do we have any emails?

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 4>We do?

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 1>We have some nice emails here and This first one

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 1>is from I believe it's pronounced janil je n i

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 1>la janil. Recently, this past summer, my sister opened up

0:29:22.280 --> 0:29:23.959
<v Speaker 1>to me about her marriage and the issues they were

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>struggling with. I thought they were making progress, coming to

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>find out, over the summer, my brother in law said

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 1>he could not stay in the marriage any longer and

0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>left her and the.

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Two kids at home.

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 1>He even started speaking to another woman, but he didn't

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>say anything wrong with that because he was just trying

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to find himself. Long story short, they've been working on

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>their marriage. They've began couple's therapy, he stopped speaking to

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>other women, and he moved back into the family home.

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 1>My struggle is, how do I move on from the

0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>pain he caused my sister? How do I move on

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and forgive him for leaving his kids and his family

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and thinking he was doing the right thing. Janna, how

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>did your family ever forgive Mike? Did he ever have

0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a conver with your family after everything that happened between

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you two.

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll go ahead and start with this. Yes, I did

0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 3>have many conversations with you know, Jana's family, pretty much

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 3>everyone in her family at some point, and it was very,

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 3>very difficult. But here's the thing, and this is what

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 3>everyone in Jana's family told me when I would talk

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 3>to them about these things. They say, look, we're not

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 3>happy about this right now. Obviously we don't approve of

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 3>what you did, Mike, But at the end of the day,

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 3>we love Jana, and if Jana chooses to love you,

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 3>then we'll choose to love you too, or we'll choose

0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 3>to support her in loving you. So they just watch Jana.

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 3>They just observe her. They feed off of her energy.

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 3>They and you know, as the time goes and we

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 3>have more and more moments together around the family, it

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:02.719
<v Speaker 3>gets more and more comfortable. People will realize, Hey, you know,

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 3>we can do this. We are doing this. I don't

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 3>have to be defined by my past actions, and now

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.280
<v Speaker 3>my relationship with all of them is fantastic, probably better

0:31:12.320 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 3>than it's ever been, you know, from a connected standpoint

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 3>for sure, with everybody. So yeah, that's what I would

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 3>have to say, is just look at your sister and

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 3>feed off of her energy. And it's your job as

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 3>her sister too. Yeah, speak your truth, but also to

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:35.080
<v Speaker 3>love and support her and her decisions. And this is

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 3>what she wants. Then you got to learn to deal

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:39.959
<v Speaker 3>with that. Now, if he hasn't talked to you, you

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 3>do have the right to talk to him about it

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 3>and express your feelings.

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you have a right for that. And

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 2>also on the other side of it, he didn't do

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 2>anything directly like, yes, he hurt your sister and that's

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 2>wrong and that's bad, but he is not your husband, boyfriend, lover,

0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 2>like he didn't hurt you. So sometimes if you bring

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>in that negative energy to your sister, that's going to

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 2>affect your sister's thought process with things, and that's not

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 2>fair either. Is this making sense, Like it's it wasn't

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:30.960
<v Speaker 2>a personal attack towards her, and so to not don't

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 2>take it on as a personal attack.

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Right, But it's almost I make up that it's almost harder,

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 3>right because if you're not directly affected, you don't have

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 3>that that confusion of but I love this person, but

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 3>they hurt me type of conflict like you know, like

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 3>maybe you have or you've had in the past with

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 3>me where it's like she just sees red or she

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 3>just sees enemy because she wasn't directly right, so you.

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Know, but it's also not her place too.

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:01.719
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't mean she has to go, you know, shooting

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 3>from the hip and causing shit. But it's almost easier

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to be angry.

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It's easier for It's almost one thousand percent easier for

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 2>her to be angry. But I just want her to

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>remember that, you know, the best thing you can do

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 2>for your sister is just show support. And also if

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you have feelings and he hasn't talked to you, then

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 2>be like, hey, is it cool if I have a

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.720
<v Speaker 2>conversation with him, because it is a personal thing, it

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 2>is your sister. But I also like, try to remember

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 2>that it's not your life. That yes, it affected it, it's.

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Something affect indirectly affected.

0:33:36.640 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 2>But it's not you weren't directly affected. I feel like

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm being insensitive, but I hope you guys know what I'm.

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Trying to say now. It's just being directly versus indirectly effective.

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 3>And at the end of the day, it's not Janille's life.

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 3>It's her sister's life and decision. So she can have

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 3>her thoughts, she can have her feelings. Janille can she

0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 3>can you know, express them in a healthy way, but

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 3>it is her sister's decision. It is her sister's life.

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>And you're going to have to. You know, you don't

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 2>have to like it, but if you want to be comfortable,

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 2>you're going to have to, you know, Like, I'm sure

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:10.439
<v Speaker 2>there's plenty of times where my mom, you know, did

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>not like Michael, but she's still tried, you know, when

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 2>she's still put on the happy face because she knew

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 2>that I needed that of her. So now if it

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 2>continues to happen, then of course you have to have

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 2>tough love. If you're like, I can't have this in

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 2>my life anymore, like I you know I have. We

0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:33.120
<v Speaker 2>have a friend whose sister keeps staying in an abusive relationship,

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 2>and she's like, I can't keep watching you go through this.

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:38.759
<v Speaker 2>That's it, you know, when it continuously happens, that is

0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 2>affecting your life more and you sometimes you're like, I can't,

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't have this. I can't be in front of

0:34:45.280 --> 0:34:48.279
<v Speaker 2>him knowing this is happening. So do you have anything else?

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>This is from Danielle Jenna. How do you deal with

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>your anxiety and ways you cope since the pandemic. I've

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:58.479
<v Speaker 1>noticed I've been getting more anxiety, and I've been trying

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to find ways to deal with it better. I just

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>had my second baby, so I've been home a lot

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>with my family and my husband. But I'm longing for

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the days to get back to normalcy, aren't we all,

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Danielle preach.

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I hear you, Danielle. And it's been it's been tough.

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I think what I have to. There's been a few

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 2>things that I've done, even here in Vancouver, when I

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 2>started to get anxiety. I don't know if you're religious,

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of times I ask for God to

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>take away my anxiety. To help me with it. I

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:33.799
<v Speaker 2>do grounding exercises, so I either count five, four, three,

0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:36.759
<v Speaker 2>two one, or I literally count my fingers all the

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 2>way to ten. I'll go outside put my feet in

0:35:39.719 --> 0:35:44.319
<v Speaker 2>the grass. That's a grounding exercise, and it just kind

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 2>of brings your body back to reality, back to here,

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:52.400
<v Speaker 2>back to what's not in your brain happening. Also, another

0:35:52.400 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 2>grounding exercise is if you're in a room, listen to

0:35:55.680 --> 0:36:00.080
<v Speaker 2>things like what's something that you notice right now that

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you can hear, or that you can see, or that

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.879
<v Speaker 2>you can feel, and that again grounds you, takes you back.

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Meditation is really helpful therapy if you do emdr and

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 2>it's really good for anxiety to kind of bring up

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 2>things that you're needing to cope with. Maybe that's more

0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 2>trauma underneath, and then you know, get juju with it

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 2>and get some oils in.

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:30.720
<v Speaker 3>Lavender and yeah, just Danielle, honestly, you know, go to Google.

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Tell someone too, by the way.

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Go to Google and just type in search for like

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:40.680
<v Speaker 3>mindfulness exercises, and that's just a way to again kind

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 3>of like Jana saying, getting grounded, but it's a way

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 3>to take your mind and focus it on things that

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 3>are in front of you right in that moment, rather

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 3>than things that are outside of your control.

0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 2>And just know that I would say I'm fine, I'm

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 2>not dying, I will be okay. And sometimes the best

0:36:56.520 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 2>thing that I've ever done for myself is when I

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 2>do have an anxiety, I say, whoever I'm with right now,

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:05.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm having an anxiety attack, and the second someone comes

0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:07.439
<v Speaker 2>in and helps me, or Mike and he's like, okay,

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:09.239
<v Speaker 2>like what are you okay? Like what do you need

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to sit down? I feel better knowing that I'm not alone.

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:18.359
<v Speaker 2>So hope that helps. All Right, Well, guys, I'm really

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:20.120
