And so I sent this 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 4: video in. At the end of the video, I said, 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: and just like fine wine, I get better with age. 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: And so I sent the video in. I don't know 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: if anyone ever really saw it, but I'd like to 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 4: think in my mind that maybe I put that little 71 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: influence out there, because in twenty nineteen they advertised it 72 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: during you know, one of the Bachelor shows and I've 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: been watching for twenty one years, so I applied right way, 74 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: and then of course COVID. 75 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: Hit and it was gone. 76 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 4: And then when it came back in twenty one, it 77 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: was again for the young people, so we joked about it. 78 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: We said, well, they'll never have it. 79 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 4: For us old people because they're probably afraid we're going 80 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: to die of COVID. 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: So anyway, and then it just continued. 82 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 4: So I applied again in twenty two when they started 83 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 4: advertising again, didn't hear anything. So I applied in February 84 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: of twenty three, and then May I saw that there 85 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: was a name for it, the Golden Bachelors. So I 86 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: had gone to a wedding and I was so frustrated 87 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 4: because I went to the wedding by myself and I 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 4: looked gorgeous, I must say, because it was. 89 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: A formal wedding. And I said, that's it. 90 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 4: I am applying one more time, and I did, and 91 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 4: four daytes later I got the call. So has been 92 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 4: a long journey to get to the Bachelor, but I'm 93 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: so glad that I did. 94 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that beginning. You're not the first woman 95 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: we've had on this that applied back in like twenty 96 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: eighteen and then and then COVID really stopped it. I 97 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: mean for our listeners, I'm assuming it's going to be 98 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: much easier from here on out because the show wasn't 99 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: in existence. 100 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 5: And not yeah it was. 101 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: It was a new show, so the first time it's 102 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: ever happened, so you know, there was I'm sure they 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: had a ton of people applying. They had to be 104 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: really really thorough with casting, and then they've been you know, 105 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: the people have been applying for like four years. 106 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 5: I literally, I've said it on this podcast before. 107 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: I was like, this show is never gonna happen, like 108 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: they have been casting for this show for years and years, 109 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: like they were casting for the show before I went 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: on The Bachelor. 111 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 5: After I went on The Bachelor, still no Golden Bachelor. 112 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: And then it came to existence, and think, gosh, it 113 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: did because it's really stolen the hearts of the nation. 114 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 4: As in it, it really hasn't.

I really was, 143 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: because seeing him, I'm good morning in America. I thought 144 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: that he was so handsome but down to earth and 145 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: very nice, a gentleman. So I was so excited, but 146 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: I was so nervous, and I just wanted to make 147 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: sure words came out of my mouth. And that was 148 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: what I was most nervous about, because I hadn't dated 149 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 4: in five years, So even just making a presence in 150 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: front of a handsome man who was so nice kind of, 151 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: you know, put a little fear in me. And then 152 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 4: when the door opened up the limo and I saw 153 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 4: the wet cobblestones that are uneven, and I had four 154 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: inch heels on that I hadn't born in five years, 155 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 4: and I really got more nervous. So at that point, 156 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: I just wanted to get up to Gary. And there's 157 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: all these bright lights in your face, and I just 158 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 4: wanted to get up there without falling on my face. 159 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 4: So by the time I reached Gary, I was so 160 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 4: nervous I couldn't even talk. And he took a hold 161 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 4: of my hands. He really made me feel comfortable and 162 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 4: we started a conversation and I felt so much better 163 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 4: at that point. 164 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: Do you think there was a connection between you two 165 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: that first night, I. 166 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 4: Think, you know what, Yes, I think there was a 167 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 4: connection as far as I can't say if he had 168 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 4: that connection with me. I liked what I saw, what 169 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: was standing in front of me. And obviously, I mean 170 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 4: some people can have an instant love attraction that doesn't 171 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 4: happen for me. I was attracted to him, but I 172 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 4: need to get to know the person, and so that 173 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 4: would have to follow. 174 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, what were your thoughts on the other women in 175 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: the house when you first got there? 176 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: Oh, so there was already a limo that arrived before mine. 177 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: So as soon as we walked in, the women that 178 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 3: were already there were so welcoming. Right then, the excitement 179 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: that I had it was just overwhelming because everybody who 180 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: like jumped up off their seats and came to greet, 181 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 3: and they did it for the next one after me. 182 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: And that started the bonding right away, because as soon 183 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: as I sat down, started talking with a couple of 184 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 3: women and that just continued the whole night. I mean, 185 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: we just had so much time to do that, and 186 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: we really connected with each other and really bonded with 187 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: each other, and it was so wonderful, it really was. 188 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great. 189 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 5: Which of the women do you kind of still chat with. 190 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 4: So Natasha and I are in contact.

We go, 200 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 2: we go out to a bar or a restaurant. 201 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: We live in New York, just for a that's right. 202 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: Well, first we have to do Fifth Avenue, Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Schwartz. 203 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: I don't think it's there anymore. 204 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 4: But maybe have a cocktail at the Plaza Hotel, do 205 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: Central Park. 206 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: There's a lot to do and see. 207 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're going to be busy. You a full day. 208 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 4: Yes, go to where the tree is in the ice rink. 209 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 4: Then of course get to a happy hour. There's actually 210 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: I just saw there's a bar that's the most decorated bar. 211 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 5: We're going. We're going this week. 212 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: I think with our friend Natasha, we wanted to go together, 213 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: all three of us want to go. Last year we 214 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: never made it. There's a few There are like five 215 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: Christmas bars in New York. 216 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: The main one is ralfs Can. 217 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: That's yeah, just. 218 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: It's decorated all year round, like it's decorated for Christmas 219 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: all year, but obviously Christmas is its most popular time. 220 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 3: Is it hard to get in there when we get in. 221 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 5: So if you're gonna go, you should go like when 222 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 5: it opens. 223 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's difficult. Yeah, there's always a line. 224 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 5: There's always a line. 225 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: So if it opens, I'm not sure what time, but 226 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: if it opens at like four thirty, I would go, 227 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: like four or fifteen. 228 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 4: That's good to know. Yeah, but that's on the list. 229 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: And then we'll figure out a dinner place. Anna know 230 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 4: some really nice restaurants in the city. So yeah, it 231 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 4: should be a really fun time. I just take the 232 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: train in and I'll probably take the train back home 233 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 4: no matter how late. 234 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 5: It is so nice, that's so exciting. Christmas in the 235 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 5: city is so. 236 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: Fun looking looking back, looking back on your journey on 237 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: the show, and I know it didn't last too long, 238 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: but you did. You did get that first and you 239 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: did get the rolls the first night. Do you have 240 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: any regrets? Is there anything you wish you would have 241 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: done different? 242 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I never have regrets about anything 243 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 4: in my life. But in hindsight, yes, you know, this 244 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: whole experience is so new. 245 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: If I was in it again, I know the changes 246 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 3: I would make. 247 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: Regrets. I don't have regrets, but I would make changes. 248 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 4: I think I would be more vulnerable and open up 249 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 4: a little bit more. I'm pretty private person, so it 250 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 4: takes me a little bit to open up about my 251 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 4: life or you know, things in my life. So the 252 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 4: date that I had with Gary on the Bronco tailgating, 253 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 4: I know that I really should have opened up because 254 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: that date was very special to him because that's how 255 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: he started with his wife Tony. He told me they 256 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: used to go tailgating when they were teenagers because they 257 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: didn't have a lot of money, and surprisingly enough, the 258 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: love of my life who passed away, that was our 259 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 4: favorite date. So when that happened, I think it just 260 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 4: shut me down and I didn't share that with him. 261 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: But yes, we had a jeep and we drove to the. 262 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 4: Water side and we had a nice bottle of wine, 263 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 4: a loaf of crusty bread and cheese, and that will 264 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 4: always be my favorite date. But I haven't replicated that 265 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: with anyone. And it's been twenty two years since Joe passed. 266 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: And it's good that you should and I should have 267 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 4: said this to Gary. It's good to keep memories alive, 268 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 4: but move on and make new memories. 269 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: And it was good that he did that. 270 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 4: And but yeah, so changes I would make, because that's 271 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 4: something I would tell someone if we, you know, fell 272 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 4: in love and got involved and I don't always open 273 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 4: up right away like that. That's the only change I 274 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 4: would do. 275 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's you know, it's very overwhelming going 276 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: on the show and meeting someone and you know it's 277 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: a short time period, it's so fast, so opening it 278 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: up that quickly can feel so intimidating. But I feel 279 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: like it's a good lesson to take away of just 280 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, being able to connect with people like that because. 281 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 3: You keep thinking, oh, I'll tell him this next time. Yeah, 282 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 3: but now I realized, like that, you know, the next time. 283 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 4: May not happen because you don't have that much time 284 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 4: to begin with with each other. And then yeah, then 285 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 4: you lose that next time by not opening up. 286 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: So, yeah, what are your thoughts on Gary and Teresa 287 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: and the fact that they are getting married? 288 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 4: That I am so excited for them. I actually reached 289 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: out to Teresa to congratulate her, and she was so funny. 290 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: This was yesterday, and so she didn't answer for like 291 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 4: an hour and a half, and she apologized. She says, 292 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, I've been so busy. I'm sorry it 293 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 4: took me so long to answer. I said, are you kidding? 294 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 4: I said, some of my friends don't answer me till 295 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: the next day. And so, but she really appreciated what 296 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 4: I said to her, and you know, I told her 297 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 4: that they look so happy, they look so in love, 298 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: and it's like a dream come true, and they just 299 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 4: looked so good together. And I was so excited for 300 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 4: her and for Gary. And so she said, when I 301 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 4: get home, can I call you? And I said, listen, 302 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 4: you have enough to do right now. I said, don't 303 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 4: worry about me.

So I have a lot 365 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 6: of them asking me questions about this stage of life. 366 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 6: They're not necessarily my clients, but I get a lot 367 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 6: of questions. 368 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 5: And then what does it look like? 369 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: So if someone comes on as a client with you, 370 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: what does that process working together look like? 371 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 3: It looks like us meeting about twice a month. 372 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 6: I give them a we figure out a coaching plan, 373 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 6: and that's our roadmap to achieving anywhere from one to three. 374 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 6: I want to say outcomes and not goals.

I just don't feel excited about the things 380 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 6: I used to feel excited about. And I would go okay, 381 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 6: and then we would meet and we would talk about 382 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 6: what they may have always wanted to do but they 383 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 6: put on the back burner because they were a wife, 384 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 6: they were mother, they were a career woman, or all 385 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 6: the things that come with you know, the early stage 386 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 6: of life. And then we set up a plan where 387 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 6: we set goals in place where by this date you'll 388 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 6: visit five different things you wanted to do, whether it's 389 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 6: ice skating, paint or take singing. 390 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 3: Lessons, yeah, you know, stuff like that. 391 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 6: So they then we will talk about what they discovered 392 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 6: and also maybe they want to build a new network. 393 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 6: They may have moved to another state or city and 394 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 6: they don't know anyone, and so we talk about how 395 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 6: they can network. So it really is setting them up 396 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 6: to win, because most people don't know how to start over. 397 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 6: And this is a stage of life where you back 398 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 6: basically reinvent yourself. 399 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: Well doing this for a profession. When you were in 400 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: the mansion with the other women, did work, Did you 401 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 2: have any conversations did you guys ever touch on this 402 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 2: topic at all? 403 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 6: We touched on Uh, there was uh, you know Peggy 404 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 6: who is so lovely, and Peggy. 405 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: Was sure meeting her out in New York pretty soon, 406 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: aren't you Yes? 407 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 5: Podcast? 408 00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 6: So Peggy was saying she's a cancer survivor and I said, no, Peggy, 409 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 6: you're a cancer thriver. 410 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: And she was like, oh my goodness.

And 412 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 6: language is key in this stage of life also because 413 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 6: we have these words like old and you know, we'retired 414 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 6: and washed up, and nobody wants to be old.

We're not in the media, the advertisements, commercials, movies. 417 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 6: We're just not really seen a lot. That's why The 418 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 6: Golden Bachelor was so awesome because people got a chance 419 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 6: to see that women in this stage of life between 420 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 6: the ages of sixty and seventy five, that we're still vibrant, 421 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 6: we're vivacious, we're interesting, we're fun, we're silly, we play, 422 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 6: we do all the things, and so. 423 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: Languaging. 424 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 6: And I was speaking even at another time with April, 425 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 6: we were talking about just relanguaging how we perceive or 426 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 6: look at things right, So you're not getting old, you're 427 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 6: aging and excellence right, just because you're fifty doesn't mean 428 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 6: you can't start something new. Age is just the number. 429 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 6: It's not a limitation. 430 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: It's a glass.

I was shocked when Ellen went home. 573 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 6: I thought I thought I thought Ellen. In my personal opinion, 574 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 6: I thought Ellen was was really great for him. 575 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 3: In just my way. 576 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 6: I could be a little biased because Ellen is from 577 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 6: New York. But you know, I don't I don't know, 578 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 6: but I I know I the last when it came 579 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 6: down to Leslie and Teresa. 580 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 3: I really didn't know which way it was gonna go. 581 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, what it was. It was so I had 582 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 6: no clue it could have went either way. It really 583 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 6: was so close to me. It was very neck and neck. 584 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 6: You know, they each had their own set of values and. 585 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 3: Pros. You know that they brought to Gary. 586 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 6: And you know, one of the things I said early 587 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 6: on when when I left the show is that it's 588 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 6: his journey. He gets to choose and pick from whoever 589 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 6: he wants to. So this is his journey. He gets 590 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 6: to feel it out. And you can see as as 591 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 6: Gary went through this journey, he really he I feel 592 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 6: like when it came down to the last four, he 593 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 6: was really beginning to hone into what I really want 594 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 6: is what I really what I'm really looking for, is 595 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 6: what I'm choosing for. And I believe what I think 596 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 6: it was Christa that told him look for the women 597 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 6: you can't live without. 598 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 3: Yes, so that I believe landed with him resonated. 599 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 6: At time, and I really feel like he began to 600 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 6: really hone into that. And and I believe the the 601 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 6: fantasy suites because there's a lot of intimacy and privacy, 602 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 6: there are things shared and said that we don't we're 603 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 6: not privy to that kind of tilted tilted him towards 604 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 6: Teresa and kudos for her. I think it's I think 605 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 6: it's a great match. They have a very similar story. 606 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 6: I just thinking back and watching the show. She was 607 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 6: really commited and I also feel Leslie was also. They 608 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 6: both were committed to really leaving with a partner. I 609 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 6: really feel like the rest of us, we really we 610 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 6: wanted a partner, but we were really saying, like, is 611 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 6: this guy a match for me? 612 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 3: You know, let me you know, is he a match 613 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,240 Speaker 3: for me?

He's connected with his emotional emotion. 619 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 6: This man should be willing to grow, always willing to 620 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 6: do something to improve himself. I caught myself a life 621 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 6: learner because I'm always learning something or exploring something to 622 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 6: learn about.

And I find that a lot 627 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 6: of men are not emotionally available because a lot of 628 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 6: them don't tune in, don't tap into the emotions. 629 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, there you go.
