<v Speaker 1>very very excited about it. I really just felt so

<v Speaker 1>much love and support, and also a lot of people

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>were like I.

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:35.279

<v Speaker 1>are so kind and open minded. And also a lot

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of y'all are gay too, so it's it feels so

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>good to have that off my chest. I can't even

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>explain it. I didn't know how good it would feel.

0:00:58.200 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was just gonna be like nice to

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>just have it out of the way, but it really

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.959
<v Speaker 1>made me super emotional and felt so.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Big, and it just felt good.

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>So in this week's episode, we're going to talk about

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>something that's been on my mind a lot, and it

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>is anxiety and intuition, and what is the difference between

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the two. How do you know if that feeling you

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>have is your anxiety making you stressed out for no reason,

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>or if it's your intuition telling you to run. And

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I have had to work so hard on distinguishing these things.

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I used to always be really good

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>at it, and I'm a very decisive person. But as

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I went through some stuff with people, like this friend

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.199
<v Speaker 1>group breakup I had two years ago, I really really

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>started to question myself. And I went in to see

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>my new therapist a couple months ago. I started with

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>her in January, and I sat down and I was like,

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I have no grasp on reality whatsoever. I don't know

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>what is true. I don't think I feel anything valid

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm confused. And she was like okay, and then

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>like two sessions later, she's like, I don't know why

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you say that, because you seem so grounded. I'm like,

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think, But then I like second guess

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>myself and I don't know and like so over the

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>past four months, we've been working on me distinguishing those

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>two feelings, and it turns out that more often than not,

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>it's my intuition. And I don't really like to create

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>nightmare scenarios where they don't already exist, and anxiety is

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>like definitely out of your control, and I deal with

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it as well, But figuring this out

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>has totally changed the game for me. I feel so

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>much more confident and so much more well equipped to

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>make decisions about my career and with who I led

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>in my life, and also like knowing when someone's lying,

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.959
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna talk a lot about that in this episode.

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So for starters, the definition of intuition is the ability

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to understand instinctively without the need for conscious reasoning, and

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>then the definition of anxiety is feeling of manic worry, nervousness, unease.

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>And dread. So those definitely aren't the same thing at all.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know, people use like nervous with

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>anxiety a lot too, and it's anxiety is deeper than that.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Anxiety is kind of all consuming, feels like you're being

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>eaten alive, and that is a hard feeling to ignore.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's easier to push down your intuition than

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it is to push down your anxiety, at least at first.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Your intuition is always going to be like trying to

0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>push through, and anxiety tends to be louder.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>But you can like stifle.

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That anxiety and be like, Okay, I'm gonna just go

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>calm down. But intuition, even if you're not feeling like shit,

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>it's still just gonna pop up. Like in my last relationship,

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I had this feeling. My last relationship had this feeling

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>that like it was wrong, and I ignored it and

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>thankfully everything turned out okay, but it definitely went on

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a long longer than it should have. I think if

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you're familiar with the concept of intuition and less familiar

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>with the concept of anxiety, then that's where it can

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>get really difficult. And remembering that not every feeling means something.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>You can have feelings that are real that are there

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.359
<v Speaker 1>that you need to acknowledge, but they don't carry weight,

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>they don't mean some secret thing to the universe, and

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not like a premonition. They feel different. And if

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you pay attention and you write in a journal and

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of keep track of when you have one of

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>those feelings, keep track of them, and once you find

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>out how they turn out, keep track of that too,

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and then you'll be able to look back and see

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>which situations were anxiety and which ones were intuition. I

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like I discovered something last week. I've had some

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 1>really big therapy breakthroughs and it's just been amazing. I'm

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>doing EMDR, which I'll we do another full episode on,

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of really cool healing techniques that I

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>hadn't tried before. But I had this breakthrough and I

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:14.280
<v Speaker 1>realized that anxiety for me, And this is different.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>For everybody, but I feel like this is relatable for

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people.

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 1>But anxiety is when you're trying to talk yourself into

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:24.239
<v Speaker 1>something bad, and intuition is when you're trying.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>To talk yourself out of it.

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's like you have this feeling and anxiety you're

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>like ramping up. You're like, you know, have this manic

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>voice in your head that won't shut up, and it's

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.239
<v Speaker 1>just like going on. It's like this is doomed, everything's

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>going wrong, everybody hates me, blah blah blah blah blah.

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>And then intuition, you have this kind of deep sense.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Of knowing where you're like, Okay, these aren't my real friends,

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>and this feels like it's going to end badly. But

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>then that little like surface voice comes in and talks

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>over intuition and it's like no, no, No, everybody's fine, Like,

0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>don't think the worst of people, Like it's gonna be okay,

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Like don't don't worry about that, that's not real, Like

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>they would never do that to you. That can also

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>work switched as well, Like I know that that doesn't

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>apply to every situation, but I feel like it makes

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.799
<v Speaker 1>sense for me because like, when I think somebody's lying

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to me, that's where this really really comes into play,

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and like figuring out the difference between the two.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a really good way to tell if someone's lying.

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:36.559
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back, and we are back, Okay.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>So I want to talk about anxiety and intuition and

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>how it relates to detecting lies and protecting yourself from

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>liars and narcissistic energy and all that stuff. Unfortunately, no

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>matter how much you don't want to believe it, there

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>are shitty people on the planet who are gonna lie

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and steal from you and cheat, and there's things you

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>can equip yourself with to be ahead of that. And

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean like assuming everyone's going to do that.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just like this quote that I think about a lot,

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's when someone shows you who they are, believe

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>them and just if you pay attention and you observe,

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and you meditate on your feelings, you will figure it out.

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Like we all have this innate sense of how to

0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>protect ourselves and that's called intuition, and so every human

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>being on earth wants to avoid being hurt, and so

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>we have this little compass inside of us. But it's

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>just learning when it's the compass talking and when it's

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>something else.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>But I think that.

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>People typically know when other people are lying, and you'll

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>have that sense of, uh, just kind of calm knowing.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>And I, uh, so I was dealing with something recently.

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I would like to preface and say that this is

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>not my boyfriend, because sometimes when I do like abstract

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>stories or I'm talking about like an ambiguous breakup on Instagram,

0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>people think I broke up with Sam.

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Sam did not do this. Sam is a horrible liar.

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't even try.

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>But I had this feeling that this person in my

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>life was lying to me about something really important. And

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I caught them before in a couple different lies, but

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>they were small ones, and I was able to kind

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of just be like, hm, okay, And they also wouldn't

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>confess to them except for one like I brought up

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>three different issues, and one of them I literally saw

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>with my own eyes, like them doing the thing that

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>they said they weren't and they confessed to that one

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>but also acted like it wasn't a big deal. And

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>then the other two like literally they tried to tell

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>me that there.

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Was a ghost in the house and that's how that happened.

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was like okay, okay, cool, and I just

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>had this feeling and I was like that, I mean, like,

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 1>coincidences are stacking up, and paying attention to coincidence is

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>also really important when it comes to detecting lying.

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And so I was just like looking at the evidence

0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:58.959
<v Speaker 2>in front of.

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Me, and I'm like no, but like, don't like think

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>badly of them, Like that would be crazy if they

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>did that, Like, no, they would never do that to you.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But then I have this deep sense of calm knowing

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>that's like, no, something's wrong. And to quote my friend

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Mickey Guiton, that girl is not your friend. And that

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 1>is always what she'll say when she's calling somebody out

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>on being around someone toxic, and she's she has a

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>fucking spot on intuition with people's vibes and watch dress

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot, and so I have this feeling that like

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that person was lying about everything, and I was like,

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what, whatever, it's small, I just don't feel

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>like getting into it.

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that this is worth my energy. And

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>then something really big.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Happens, and I was like, huh, okay, and I didn't

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>want to blame them right away, because what I would

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>be accusing them of would be absolutely insane and something

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I've never accused anybody of before.

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:56.439
<v Speaker 2>I'd also like to.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>State that it wasn't something like abusive or like anything

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. It was just like kind of baseline breakage

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>of the Ten Commandments, like one of the like more

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>minor ones, but still shitty, because that would be a

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>whole different like situation. So we're talking about some pretty

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>low stake stuff.

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 2>But still like really shitty.

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And I just knew it. I just knew it, and

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I was doing everything I could to talk myself out

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of it, and that's what I do. Whereas if it

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 1>was anxiety, I'd be like collecting all this evidence and

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>getting hyped up and blah blah blah blah. And with

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>this one, I was trying so hard to prove myself wrong.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be wrong. I wanted to be wrong

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>so badly because I didn't want to admit that this

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>person would do something like that to me or anybody,

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>and I just couldn't. I couldn't shut it up. And

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>basically what happened is like something went missing and I

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>looked for it and I was asking everybody about it.

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, have you seen this thing? Have you

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>seen this thing? And you know it's like, oh no,

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. Sorry, I'll keep an eye out, I'll look

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>through my stuff whatever, and I just knew and I

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, damn, I've never accused anybody of anything like

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that before, like even when I like, I mean, it

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>took so much for me to accuse my ex boyfriend

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>of like cheating, and I only did because I saw

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Facebook message. It's like, I don't do stuff without evidence,

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and I really cause I just I don't want to

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.599
<v Speaker 1>treat anybody in a way that I wouldn't want to

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>be treated. And I would hope that someone would really

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>stop and think before they accused me of something horrible.

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And I did that for like a week, and then.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>The missing thing just like reappears in an incredibly obvious

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>place that I had looked for it so many times,

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and it was on top of something that I had

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>put there the day before, so I would have had

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to lift the thing up to put this thing underneath it,

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and trust me, I would have noticed it was a

0:11:55.160 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>very obvious thing. And I was like, hmm, well that's funny.

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>And I just was like, I think that there's like

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>an intuition thing too, where if you even think that

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>someone's capable of something, that's already a red flag, like

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>even if they didn't do it, if you are looking

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>at evidence from like what kind of person you know

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>them to be, and you think that they could be

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>capable of doing that, then you already probably should distance

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>yourself from that person. It's you gotta trust your God

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>on that you have to. And so I mention it

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to the person. And I have never so clearly been

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>lied to and like just straight up gas lit in

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>my life, and I think that it's really important to

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>remember that gaslighting is not just somebody disagreeing with you

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>or having a different perspective. Gaslighting is when somebody knows

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 1>they're lying and they try to tell you're crazy. And

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.719
<v Speaker 1>this person literally was like you're going crazy, Like I

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know what you're talking about.

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 2>All of these like very standard gaslighting phrases.

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Whereas if one of somebody, if somebody I knew, came

0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to me with the same situation and the tables returned,

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I would obviously know I didn't do it, but I

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 1>would be like, Okay, well, let's try to figure this out,

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>because like I would be calm, especially if there was

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>like any sort of compelling evidence as to why I

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>might have done it. Like I'd be like, Okay, I

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>see how you came to that conclusion, but like, I

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't do it, and here's why, versus just like immediately

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>yelling and telling.

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Someone they're crazy.

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think that just the defensiveness in and of itself,

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.559
<v Speaker 1>and then the fact that this person had historically been

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>unconcerned when I caught them in a lie. It's uh,

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>there's people like that out there and it really sucks

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and you don't want to believe it, but there are

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>people that are around you all the time. And I

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>just had this calm sense of knowing, and when I

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>went to this person, I wasn't speaking from a place

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of manic anxiety, nervousness on edge, defensiveness whatever I was

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>coming from a place of calm knowing, and I said, hey,

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't need you to admit to this, and I

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>don't need you to apologize. I don't need either of

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 1>those things. Just need you to not treat me like

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm stupid and not do it again. And I was

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 1>very proud of myself for saying that, because like, really,

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>when someone lies, it's only going to feel so good

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 1>when they admit to it, and like it's easy to

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.719
<v Speaker 1>get caught up in the validation of that, But if

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you can get good enough at trusting yourself, then you

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>won't need that from people, because that's a hard thing

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>because when people lie, they typically lie a lot, and

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>when they lie a lot, they stack up, and so

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>if you accuse someone of one lie and they admit

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to it, then they kind of have to admit to

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>all the other ones. And you're just asking that person

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 1>to do way more than they are ready to do

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>on their journey. Like that person is clearly struggling with

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>some big shit and they're just not there yet and

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe they never will be in this lifetime. But that's

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>not your problem. You can just choose to trust yourself

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and to know and believe that you're not going to

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 1>just make up sh people. And I do think it's

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>really important to pay attention to, like the reality, the

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>facts about around you, the coincidences that are stacking up,

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>because like, really, there's a lot of stuff that can

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.359
<v Speaker 1>come off totally.

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Wrong and it didn't actually happen at all.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>But you give people enough of the benefit of the doubt,

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but at some point there's enough evidence and you're like, Okay,

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>this is the only option or that.

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Could have happened. So that was big for me.

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And it was, like, like I said, kind of a

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>low stake situation, but it felt so good because like,

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>for the first time in a long time, I trusted myself.

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know what, I'm not going to

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>participate in this person gaslighting me, because that's the hard

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>thing about gas lighting is you end up backing up

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the person because they're telling you like they set you up,

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and then you do the rest of the work for

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the gas lighter because you doubt yourself and so then

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you're just telling yourself all these things about how you're

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 1>crazy and you're lying and that that's what they started,

0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>but you finished the job.

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 2>So it just felt really good to.

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Have that compass know the difference between the two feelings,

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna do a little recap at the end,

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>but we'll take a quick break.

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you guys.

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So, anxiety and intuition are gonna have two very different voices.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna sound like totally different people. Anxiety is going

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to be like the manic, high pitched girl who took

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>too much adderall and is super paranoid and just like

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>flailing about making not a whole lot of sense. And

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>then intuition is going to sound like this really calm,

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like the perfect podcast voice. I love Ashley Flowers on

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Crime Junkie, so like it's gonna sound like Ashley Flowers

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be like, no, this is what is.

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>You can trust yourself, you can choose who you trust,

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and you can believe what you're seeing with your eyes

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and what you're hearing with your ears, and so it's

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>just gonna feel different like your intuition. Like maybe we'll

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 1>raise a red flag if something's really different, like going

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>really wrong. But I think that might be where anxiety

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and intuition hold hands and they're like okay, like if

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>something's like life or death or just really bad and

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to deal with it really quickly. I think

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.919
<v Speaker 1>anxiety is like all fine intuition, like all listen to you,

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, just remember that human beings have had to

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.639
<v Speaker 1>rely on instinct alone to keep us alive for hundreds

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of years. And anxiety is just this kind

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 1>of little voice that you can tune out. But intuition

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>is something that connects you to the universe. It's something

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that connects you to your ancestors. It's something that connects

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you to yourself and to your surroundings, and it's it's

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>the definition of being grounded and getting in touch with yourself.

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds all kind of like, you know, woo woo,

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 1>but it's real. These are these are instincts that have

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>been passed down through revolution and kept human beings alive.

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, we didn't die out and and intuition and

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>instinct are why. So I hope that this helped. I

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>hope that you guys take this into your everyday lives

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and catch some liars because it is satisfying. I mean,

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.239
<v Speaker 1>like you don't want people to be like that, but

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just the validation that comes from like that is
