WEBVTT - Conversations with Me, Myself, and I

0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>This is Conversations with Olivia Jade and I Heart Radio Podcast.

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Hi everybody, it's Olivia Jade. Welcome back to another episode

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of Conversations. Today's episode is a little bit different considering

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm solo and I won't be interviewing anybody, but I

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of wanted to take this chance in this UM

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>episode to have you guys interviewed me. So I took

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>it to Instagram and I asked you guys some questions

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>and I just want to give you a little life

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>update as well, so we can just hop right into it.

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't have anybody else to introduce accept me, so

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope you guys enjoy and I'm going to dive

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>right into it first. By starting out, I want to

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>say I dyed my hair red. And I've been getting

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>so many questions about like, how do you decide to

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>die it? Read what inspoted you go to? And I

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>actually think it's really funny because I brought my mom's

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>photo from when she was on Full House to um

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>my hair stylist, and I was like, can you just

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>make it look like that? And the reason for that

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.039
<v Speaker 1>was is because I've never touched my hair before, I've

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>like highlighted it a little bit here and there, but

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>never like a full onde change new colors. So I

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>was really nervous, and I was thinking to myself, Um,

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I kind of look like my mom. I

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of differences, but everybody seems to think

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>we look alike. So I was like, everybody says I

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 1>look like her, so I'm going to dye my hair.

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I should just diet of colors she's had, so

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>at least I know, like, okay, I could maybe possibly

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>pull it off, because it was like my biggest fear

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I was going to diet and despise how I looked.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But I actually really like it. It's different, it's fun.

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I kind of feel like it's like

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>an alter ego of mine now, so I'm enjoying it. Um.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>But that's like my little life update on that, which

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is not super interesting. Um. And I also have seen

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions on my Instagram that some are

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>really really great questions that I think I think about

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>often and things i'd love to talk about, but I'm

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>always kind of fearful to speak about just because I

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>never wanted to be misconstrued or taken the wrong way. Um,

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>but I also know that I've said this from the

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>very beginning of when I started this podcast, is that

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>it's like being vulnerable and open, and this is my

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>podcast after Also, the listeners hopefully are people that have

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>either been with me for a while or care to

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>hear what I have to say. Um, but I want

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to start out a little bit more general because I

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>got so many questions about like my workout routine and

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>how I lost all this weight and how many calories

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>and how I don't compare my body on social media

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and some of these questions the way they're phrased, it

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>makes me realize, like how consumed all of us are

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>in social media and comparing ourselves to other people. And

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I us want to remind everybody that's listening that and

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>take it for me. Somebody who's on social media posting

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>their best moments getting the comments that are like, how

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>do you look like that? And sure, I have my

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>good days, but also you need to remember that these

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>are all angles and our best moments and our cutest photos,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and my tennis moments and my favorite outfits and the

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>most flattering bikinis, and um, although I do love to

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>work out and eat right and take care of my

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.399
<v Speaker 1>body more so for my mental at this point. Um,

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I just I think it's really important that everybody reminds

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>themselves we're all kind of living in this fantasy world

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>where we see everybody every second of every day looking

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>their best, and it gives us all these like false

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>ideas in our head that we're not good enough, which

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>is just so not the case. So if anybody can

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>preach it to you, I hope you can take it

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>from me, somebody who post my best moments. And then

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>also when I think about that, I feel guilty because

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, I don't want people to get the

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>wrong idea that this is what I look like all

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the time or I'm always feeling this good. Um. I

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>also think that social media can dehumanize like a lot

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of people sometimes and make you feel like the people

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you're following aren't really real. And I remember when I

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>was on I had lost a bunch of weight, like

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>right before the summer of last year, and then throughout

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 1>the summer, I think I gave like ten or fifteen pounds,

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.119
<v Speaker 1>which really isn't a big deal to like most people,

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>i'd hope, Um, But I remember getting a brand deal

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was like these bikini posts that I had

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to do and I was freaking out because I was

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 1>so insecure about it. I was like, I don't want

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to do this. I don't feel the best right now.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't look like how I was posting on social

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>media the last like three months anymore. And it's like

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you get so in your head about everything, and I

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>just want people to be reminded constantly that like everybody

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>has um I don't know, just their sensitivities and stuff

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that you're so consumed with and concerned about that other

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>people don't get to see. And I remember also, I

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>was going on Dancing with the Stars right after all

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of this, and I was like, people are going to

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 1>think I'm like lying all my social media because again

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>it was posting my best moments when I felt like

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>my hottest version, really really good. And I don't want

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>this to get twisted. It's not to say if you

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>gain weight that you're not hot. That's not at all

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. But it is like I'm going on

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>National TV in one version of myself and then all

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>my Instagram I look like a different version of myself,

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and that can be really really tricky for a for

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 1>somebody who's doing it themselves because you feel guilt and

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you feel bad for portraying this image, but also to

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>my followers, it's also not fair. So I just want

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to remind you that, um, you're seeing everybody's best moments

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and you really do mean that. But um, in terms

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of the workout questions and how many calories I eat

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that, it's really not for me about

0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>counting my calories or pushing myself in the gym to

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>where I feel like I'm going to throw up and die.

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>If you want to know my real secret, this is

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 1>what I've seen do wonders for my body. This is

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.359
<v Speaker 1>how I got in probably like the best shape of

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.919
<v Speaker 1>my life, um, about a year ago, and this is

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>what I've been doing for the last month again, and

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I really see a difference. And I've talked about it

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>on my YouTube a little bit before, but it's this

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>exercise called twelve three thirty which was created by Lauren

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Giraldo and she's awesome, But basically, you just put your

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>treadmill at an incline of twelve, you walk at a

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>speed of three for thirty minutes. I sometimes will do

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>like a ten minute app work out, I'll do like

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a ten minute but workout after it. But that's pretty

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>much all I do. I also love Sammy Clark's workouts

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>on her app called form Um. You just sign up,

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>but they're all like thirty minute workouts and you normally

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>just need like a band or five pound weights and

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>you can just do it in your house and those

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.840
<v Speaker 1>are really great and easy. Um, just little things, because

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the most important thing with working out

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and um like staying consistent with it is finding stuff

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you actually like doing. If you're just working out and

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>thinking of it as like, oh, I just want to

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>be in this like certain body type or this like whatever,

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you're never going to stick with it because it's going

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to become tortuous, you're going to create negative feelings towards it,

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>You're going to correlate it with bad habits and kind

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of unhealthy habits. So I think finding stuff that you like.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I also really like pilates, which I don't do enough,

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>but I do enjoy it. So I think stuff like that. Okay,

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>enough about that, now that I got that whole spiel

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the way. UM, I think this is another

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.679
<v Speaker 1>great question, and I also want to answer it because

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what the answer is, but I

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>think we can all relate a little bit, and it's

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>best advice for young adults who are struggling to figure

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>out what to do career wise. Oh sis, you're telling me, Um,

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know, like the opper answer

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to it, I think something that when I talk to people,

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>because I feel I feel you, it's really scary, especially

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>like for me at least, like just I can only

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 1>speak for myself. I think I started social media and

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>YouTube at such a young age before it was really

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a job, and then obviously going through everything um with

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the whole college thing and everything in the media, and

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like after all of that, I'm I'm a

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>just I feel like entirely different, but I don't have

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>that same like I don't even want to say connection

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>with my audience. But I think because I took so

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>much time off, it's like I don't even remember what

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>like it was like to be that invested in it.

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think I'm still struggling to figure that out.

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So I get it, like I do understand being at

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>this age where you kind of feel the pressure to

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>figure it out and having no idea what the next

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.199
<v Speaker 1>best move is. I think some advice that I hold

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>very close to my heart that's been given to me

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>is just be patient with yourself. I know that's really afical.

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I also know everybody's in different circumstances, but I think

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>just remembering that, like the key word in that question

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>is as a young adult, we're still young and we

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 1>have time. And Um, last week's episode I had, or

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was a few weeks ago now, I had

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Katie Austin on and she was telling me a story

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>about her dad where I think it was her dad. Yeah,

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>he like figured out what he wanted to do at

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>some crazy age like way later in life, he like

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 1>finally figured it out and went back to school. And

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 1>you guys should listen to that episode if you haven't already.

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>But um, I think just knowing that, like, you're on

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>this path and it's not going to be the same,

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and you've got to not compare yourself to the people

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you see online or the people in your friend groups

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>or other family members, because everybody's on their own journey

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.839
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to figure it out at your own time.

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I think though starting and actually actively doing stuff is

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a really good first step. I think if you're just

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>sitting around hoping that things are just gonna like fall

0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>into your lap and come your way, it's probably very

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>rare that that will happen. I think you actually have

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to start and pursue something, and if you don't know

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>what that is yet, that's okay. But trying different things,

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to find your passion, I think is really cool. Um,

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to make your passion into some sort of job

0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>that can create like a reliable income, I think it

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>is probably a good first step as well. But I

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>think also taking a little pressure off yourself because you're

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>young and you're going to figure it out and you're

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be jobless forever, I promise, UM, So try

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to take a little pressure off yourself. I like this

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>question a lot. It says what something people seem to

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>misunderstand about you. I'm hesitant to talk about this type

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of stuff because I feel like every time I do,

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and this is not meant to sound arrogant, because it's

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>going to come across that way, but I don't mean

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 1>it that way, I swear, but I feel like it

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>ends up in the media anytime I talk about this

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote scandal. Um. But I think one thing people

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>misunderstand is that they think that like just unfazed by it,

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>like never affected me, no problems, And I sit here

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes and I'm like, hmm, I don't know how to

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>convey to people that like this was the most like

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>life changing like wake up call ever. I also feel

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>like people, a lot of people don't know like all

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the details and the ins and outs of like the

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>real things. So I think people hold a lot of

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>anger towards me that maybe necessarily isn't entirely like supposed

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to be put on me. And I don't know how

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to say that without walking on eggshells. But um, I

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>think one day I will or somebody hopefully and my

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>family will cover what happened. Um. But I do think

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that it's a big misunderstanding that like, oh, how dare

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.319
<v Speaker 1>you just move on with your life and like you

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>don't care and it's like, no, this, I think about

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>this every day. It completely changed who I am. I

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>everything I do is like that's in the back of

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>my mind. Um, I feel awful. I feel terrible about it,

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and like me posting and trying to come back to

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>social media, I always see the comments of like, oh,

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>this girl, like she's just coming back again, and it's like, well,

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I have to live my life, and like I know

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>for myself that I'm not a terrible person, like I

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>want to go back out and do what I'm passionate about.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, I hate that people think

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that I'm just like I don't care, I'm moving on.

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Um and like so much of the time I feel

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>like I'm not talking about like what I'm doing to

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>give back or do certain things because I can already

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>foresee those comments is like, oh, you're just doing this

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. So I'd rather just do it

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>privately and just know why I'm doing it, and then

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>who cares if people figure it out or not. Um.

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>But I just I think that's a big misunderstanding that

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>people think that like it doesn't affect me and I

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>don't care and I can just go back to my

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>normal life because I can even begin to explain like

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>how much it has affected and how much I just

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>want to make things better and I would do anything

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>to go back in time to make this all go away,

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 1>like believe me, um, but I can't. Unfortunately, and I

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>think all of us at some point in our life

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.559
<v Speaker 1>have regrets and mistakes, and we all wish we could

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>go back in time and fix those things. And I

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>think when I'm trying to learn as I get a

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit older, is being a little bit more forgiving

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of yourself and understanding that you know, just because one

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 1>thing happens in your life, that doesn't mean you deserve

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to hate yourself for it, even though it's really hard

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>not to sometimes. But I think, just um, I just

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>want people to know, like me posting me trying to

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>move on and put a smile on my face isn't

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>because I don't care. It's just because I, for my

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 1>own mental I just can't live in this for forever. Um,

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>what keeps you motivated? M M? I think what keeps

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 1>me motivated is the people I surround myself with. Is

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>something that's really important, which I'm just figuring out now

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in my life. But it's so true. It's like you

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of are who you're surrounding yourself with. So if

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you're surrounding yourself with people that are, um, maybe just

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>on a different journey or path than you are, just

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe doing certain things that like aren't benefiting you in

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 1>or like not doing stuff for you. But you know

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Like if they're doing stuff and you're

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>doing it with them and that's not benefiting you in

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 1>your career life or your personal life or whatever it is,

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that you could take a step back and

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>look kind of inward and see, like, Okay, like I

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 1>love these people, and I love this at a distance,

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>or this works for me and this time, but like

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I also need to find people that are going to

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 1>motivate me to you know, really focus on my work

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>or my health habits or whatever it is. Like I

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>think for me, it's like a perfect examp up. What

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I can give is one of my best friends, Natasha,

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 1>who has been on the podcast before, has been in

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>my YouTube um. But she and I have very similar careers,

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>like just mindsets. I think we both like love the

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>same things, and so it's she's like a really great

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>friend to have because she keeps me really motivated. Whether

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>it's like she text me this morning, Yo, we're working

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 1>out today, no questions. I'm like, Okay, I kind of

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>needed that because I didn't want to, you know what

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean. So I think it's people that are just

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>like around you that like motivate you, I think is

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 1>something that's really important, and also holding yourself accountable is

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>obviously very important as well. How to deal with friends

0:15:55.160 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>never replying to you or not feeling valued by your friends. Um,

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that, well, I'm really sorry to hear that,

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>because that's not a good feeling. I also know what

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that feels like, and it's like super painful. And I

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>know what it feels like to just want people to

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like you and to feel like, oh my god, does

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>this person find me annoying? Or am I like a

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 1>bother to them? And I think it's I wish I

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 1>would even take my own advice sometimes, but it's easier

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>said than done as well. But also remembering like if

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>those people aren't valuing you as a person and who

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you are, and you can't be your authentic self in

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>front of them and around them, like are those really

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>good friends anyway? Like do you want them? I think

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>something that's also really important to learn as we get

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 1>older is being okay with being alone, which is really

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>hard and something that I'm still working through all the time,

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's it's so important to like know that

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you can be on your own and that you enjoy

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>your own company because at the end of the day,

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>that's like you're one constant, you will always have yourself.

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's crucial in life. Um But in

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>terms of that specific question, I would say trying to

0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 1>find new friends is probably a good step. I also

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>know that's really tricky because like, where where do I

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>meet new friends? How do I meet new friends? I

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>don't have all the answers to everybody's like different situations

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>and circumstances, But I know that for me, in my

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 1>experience with friendships, it's it feels a lot better to

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.439
<v Speaker 1>remove the people that don't make me feel good and

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that I'm always questioning, like should I be around them?

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Is this annoying to them? Whatever? Like, it feels so

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>much better for me now to just be on my own.

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think as you focus on yourself and you

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.880
<v Speaker 1>remove those negative people from your life, and you're focusing

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>on your career and you're focusing on things that make

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you genuinely happy, like other things will fall into place. Um,

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>But I know it can be so difficult. So I'm

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>really sorry to hear that top five skin care products.

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into beauty, Okay, I think I have m hmm,

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.639
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to choose just five. I think for face wash,

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll start there. I saw this in an Alicia Keys

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.199
<v Speaker 1>skincare video and I've used it and it made my

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>skin beautiful. It's called Osmosis. It's like a facial cleanser.

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>It's gorgeous. Ten out of ten would recommend. I think

0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 1>another skincare product I love is Supergroup super Goops glows screen.

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>If you don't like the way like glowy skin looks though,

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe not for you, but I love that. Um Okay,

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that's two. I think. Three would be Oh, the one

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:58.440
<v Speaker 1>one skin hydro gel moisturizer. It's a little bit expensive

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.760
<v Speaker 1>or a lot of it defensive, but it is one

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of the best things I've ever used in my life.

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Four I would say the one one skin eye patches. Amazing.

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.439
<v Speaker 1>They feel so good. I love putting them in a

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>beauty fridge. Oh and five this ice roller that you

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.719
<v Speaker 1>can get from Amazon and you stick it in your

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.239
<v Speaker 1>freezer and it's the best thing and I highly recommend it.

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And if you're tired when you're waking up, boom, it

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>wakes you up. If your puffy wakes you up. I

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>had a laser appointment recently, and you're not supposed to

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 1>go in the sun if you laser, like laser hair removal,

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>so don't do that if you didn't know that and

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you laser. But I was in the sun and the

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>woman asked me like, hey, have you been in the

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Have you been in the sun? And I was like no,

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>because I really wanted her to do the laser appointment.

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>But I shouldn't have done that my whole skin on

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 1>my face like because I laser like above my lip

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and like my sideburned area and I completely broke out

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>into like a bunch of little dots everywhere, and I

0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>was Coali, this is karma. This is what you get

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.439
<v Speaker 1>for lying to the laser lady because you want to

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>get the appointment out of the way. And they asked

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>for a reason. Um, but I had this ice roller

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and I was just rolling it on my face like

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.760
<v Speaker 1>constantly after and it did wonders. So I think it

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of different purposes and good uses. And yeah,

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I would just ten out of ten recommend that will

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 1>you do more collective and designer halls in the future,

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>and missed them so much. I actually think my next

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>YouTube video is going to be a collective try on hall.

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I've decided recently for my YouTube because I've

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>been feeling a little bit lost on like what to

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 1>do on my channel. I feel like I go back

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and forth between vlogs that I love and then I'm like, no,

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>as the vlogs annoying, Like it just looks like I

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.640
<v Speaker 1>do nothing all day, and I think people don't realize

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.879
<v Speaker 1>that making filming doing nothing, it's like kind of my job,

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know, it's really bizarre. But um, I

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>think I kind of want to go back to like

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>my o G YouTube videos kind of like collective halls,

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>like remember that one. If you guys are o G subscribers,

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:09.959
<v Speaker 1>you would remember I used to do like these blinging

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on a budget videos and I do all these like

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>different jewelry collections that were like pretty inexpensive or like

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:20.200
<v Speaker 1>medium to Um yeah, I'd say it's like moderately expensive

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.679
<v Speaker 1>but nothing crazy. And I loved those videos. Um, I

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>just didn't get ready with me for my last one,

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>which is really fun. I also think for me, something

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm noticing is and something I want to just remind

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.639
<v Speaker 1>myself is like it's so easy to get caught up

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and like start feeling kind of bad when I'm like,

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 1>my views used to be like this and now they're

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.719
<v Speaker 1>like this, and I forget that that's not why I

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.119
<v Speaker 1>started my YouTube at all, and that's not something that

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 1>should keep me motivated. And it's like I started my

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>YouTube channel and I was posting every week whatever I

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>felt at the time was like what I liked and

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:58.920
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed to talk about, and um, I would get one

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 1>view or two view or I had ten subscribers, and

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I literally didn't care at all. And so I think

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that's a something I need to get back to, is

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.439
<v Speaker 1>just being like you do this channel because you love it,

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>not because you care about a number on a screen.

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's also a bigger message in general,

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 1>is just like when we all die, what does it

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>even mean the number on the screen? Does it really

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 1>mean anything at all? No? And that's so much easier

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to like say out loud, and then you know, harder

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to live by and really believe. But it's really true,

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 1>like if you do take a step back, basically with

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>anything in life. I always think about this too, with

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 1>like stress, if you're under so much stress and pressure,

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and I always felt this way in high school, if

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>I was going to get like a bad test grade

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 1>or I didn't complete an assignment on time, I would

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>get so anxious and so stressed about it, and I

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.480
<v Speaker 1>would always try and remind myself, and I would always

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>say this like grand scheme of life, Like, am I

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be thinking about this in a few months

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.120
<v Speaker 1>down the line? If you years down the line, probably not?

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>And if I am, then like maybe you should figure

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 1>that out and assess it, but probably not. So just

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.640
<v Speaker 1>constantly reminding yourself like brand scheme of life, I think

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is it's pretty important because it puts a lot into

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>perspective and also to think about, like what you're really

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>stressing about? Is it that big of a deal in

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:22.679
<v Speaker 1>comparison to like everything else we have going on in

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 1>our world? Who knows? How have you changed during the pandemic?

0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>This is an interesting question, Um, how have I changed

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:37.160
<v Speaker 1>during the pandemic? I think that I've become way more

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>antisocial for starters. That's also what I've discovered is my body.

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Not that I'm old by any means. I'm still really

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:46.960
<v Speaker 1>young and I know that, but I feel like my

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>body has aged so much, like I can only drink

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.679
<v Speaker 1>one day. You cannot catch me drinking two days in

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a row. I am not equipped for that. My body

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:57.679
<v Speaker 1>gives out on me, it hates me. I don't know

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 1>what's happening. I also think hangovers, though, are genetics, and

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't convince me otherwise. Like my brother gets the

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>worst hangovers, I get the worst hangovers, and then all

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>my best friends no hangovers. Everybody's fine, So I don't know.

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one thing I changed with is I

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>can't rally, and I don't like being a social um.

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.679
<v Speaker 1>But I also think that I've gotten a lot more

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 1>comfortable being by myself. I think that I've learned I

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy like my downtime. I really enjoy like treating

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>myself in a way that's not materialistic by any means,

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 1>but more so like self care. I think that's something

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I've really prioritized in the pandemic, especially because in the

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 1>beginning that's like all there was to do was just

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>stay home and like do a face mask. So oh,

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I also discovered in the pandemic I really love to

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:53.960
<v Speaker 1>cook and bake a lot. So yeah, how do I

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.760
<v Speaker 1>deal with my insecurities? It's ruining me day after day,

0:24:56.840 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, I am so tired. I'm so sorry, because

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 1>that's just the worst feeling ever. I often feel like

0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>when i'm insecure too, I'm like the most depressed, like anxious,

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like kind of just angry version of myself. So I

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 1>know what that feels like, and I know how tiring

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it can feel. Hey, I think you need to be

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit easier on yourself. I need you to

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>remind yourself that the insecurities you're focusing on, I can

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:29.679
<v Speaker 1>promise you nobody else is thinking twice about like I

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:34.399
<v Speaker 1>can actually promise you. We make this like story up

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:37.520
<v Speaker 1>in our head that everybody's watching us, And the truth is,

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody's kind of selfish, is what I've discovered in life,

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and not even if you're a good or a bad person, nothing.

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's just consumed with themselves. I think that's just how

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 1>humans are born. And so you just need to remind

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>yourself like somebody else next to you is probably focused

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:55.679
<v Speaker 1>on their insecurity rather than yours. I've never looked at

0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody and been like this about them, or like I

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.640
<v Speaker 1>don't even think that before for that, I'm focusing on myself,

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? So I think that's a

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>very important thing to remind yourself. I think if it's

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>something that you can I don't want to say fix

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 1>or change, but if it's something you're insecure about that

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you're just letting yourself be insecure about, I think that

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it's important you start to figure out ways to I

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know the right way to say this. I want

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to say, do something about like it, because I think

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>also I'm trying to be like sensitive with the way

0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I word things, But I also think a lot of

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 1>people feel these insecurities sometimes and then we just because

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm guilty of it too, and then I just sit

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 1>in them and I don't really try and do anything

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to like fix it or help myself. And so I

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:45.160
<v Speaker 1>think if it's something specific that you can do little

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:48.360
<v Speaker 1>things to start to help yourself a little bit, like

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>try it. What's there to lose? Like um? And I

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.120
<v Speaker 1>think also if it's just so much in your head

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.679
<v Speaker 1>at this point and you're just constantly convincing yourself and

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 1>building this insecurity in your head and it's becoming like monstrous,

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you need to talk to somebody about it. Like I

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 1>often suggest therapy to all of my friends because I

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>think that's like the one thing that's helped me astronomically

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in my life. And um, it sometimes just feels really

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.159
<v Speaker 1>good to talk things through. Even if you think it

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 1>sounds so dumb, it's really not, because everybody's feelings are relative,

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody's problems are relative. Like sometimes it's really good to

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 1>just let it out and have somebody listening to you.

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a really good feeling. And I also think that

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we go to like our friends or our moms

0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 1>or our dads or our siblings, and you want like

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 1>a certain response from them, and if they don't give

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 1>it to you, it can be really heartbreaking, and you

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 1>keep going back for this advice and it's like not

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the advice you want to hear, but you keep doing

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it because it's like, well, they're my family or that's

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 1>my best friend, Like I I want to tell them.

0:27:52.480 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think what I've learned with therapy is that

0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 1>some things are better to just talk to somebody else

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:01.439
<v Speaker 1>about that doesn't really have like such a close relationship

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 1>with you, or it doesn't have like a bias opinion

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:08.880
<v Speaker 1>on something in your life. Um, sorry, that was kind

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of about insecurities, and then it kind of took it

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else after I started talking about therapy, because I

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>could talk about therapy for hours. But I think it's

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:21.399
<v Speaker 1>just important to let somebody hear you and to feel

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 1>like your feelings are really validated, because that's a real thing. Okay,

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna answer two more questions and then I'm gonna bounce,

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 1>so I don't bore you guys too much. How to

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 1>get over your first heartbreak? I won't even ramble. Just time.

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Just give yourself time. That's like the key. Okay, last question,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>ever have days where you don't work out, clean or

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>do anything. Really, I've been feeling super low lately. I

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.160
<v Speaker 1>think I've seen a bunch of different questions like phrase

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>differently um from this, so I think it's very relatable.

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>And my answer is yeah, of course. I think sometimes

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>it's really hard to get up and motivate yourself. I

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 1>think something that somebody once told me, which is a

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 1>really good tip, and I think helps me get out

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>of bed without feeling so lazy and then entering like

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>a YouTube or TikTok hole and then I'm stuck there

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm really unmotivated. Is not checking your phone

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>when you wake up none of that is literally waking

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>up and going straight into the shower, like just getting up,

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 1>walking your shower, starting your day. Don't even look at

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 1>your phone. I think that's so important. I also think

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of cleaning, if you can clean a little

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>bit every day instead of letting things pile up and

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>then you're like, oh, now I have to clean everything

0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like super overwhelming, that's a really good

0:29:56.200 --> 0:29:58.959
<v Speaker 1>start too, is like little by little, and like if

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you make yourself breakfast, just clean it up right away.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Don't leave it in the sink and then wait for

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 1>lunch to leave in the sink, and then dinner leave

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:05.960
<v Speaker 1>it in the sink and then put it all away

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 1>at night, Like that's just annoying. Just throw your plate

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 1>in the dishwasher, do a little hand wash if you

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have a dishwasher, and carry on. I think little

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 1>things like that are helpful and we'll motivate you to

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 1>um I want to keep things clean as well. In

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of working out, sometimes I don't feel like it

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 1>at all, but I know that it's important to move

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>my body, not even physically, but well physically too, but

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 1>especially mentally. So if you want to go for a

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>walk a nice long walk that's always really nice outside.

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 1>If you want to turn on like a no equipment

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minute pilates that you can just do on your

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>floor while you watch some TV like that counts too.

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's just starting to do little things

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to make yourself feel okay, like I did that. That's progress.

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 1>And then the more you start to do things like that,

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 1>it's going to start to change and you're gonna start

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>getting a little bit control back and you're gonna feel

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot better, at least in my experience, and I

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>really hope that works for you. Um. Okay, Well, I

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like this was long enough, and I hope that
