Speaker 1: weeks off with some little nuggets for you to listen
Speaker 1: to each week, and we have some follow ups from
Speaker 1: our callers, which are always, as they say in Espana,
Speaker 1: in crazy play. So I'm very much looking forward to
Speaker 1: continuing to do this podcast for all of our loyal listeners,
Speaker 1: of which we have many, And I want to thank
Speaker 1: all you guys for listening because you've helped make this
Speaker 1: a big success. And I am really really looking forward
Speaker 1: to continuing on Sagimos. As they say, I took Spanish
Speaker 1: for three years, but I still can only say about
Speaker 1: seven words because I'm such a good student. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: reading this book about autism. What is it called a
Speaker 1: Man's Guide How to Be Human? I'm Man's Guide to
Speaker 1: Living with Autism? How to be Human? Yeah, Man's Guide
Speaker 1: to Living with autism. Oh my god. It talks about
Speaker 1: the brain, and it talks about like how you know,
Speaker 1: there were so many thousands of years where people didn't
Speaker 1: know where our brain, Like they thought our heart was
Speaker 1: the brain, or like the think tank of our body
Speaker 1: or our liver, and like people didn't understand that the
Speaker 1: brain and how you know, it was before science, so
Speaker 1: nobody could even dissect anything or there's no biology like
Speaker 1: in that way. So it's fascinating and how like autistic.
Speaker 1: Like this guy sees grew of words like go get
Speaker 1: me a glass of water doesn't connect in his mind,
Speaker 1: go get me a glass of water, like words lined
Speaker 1: up in order don't make any sense to him. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't understand why you would even say that.
Speaker 1: So it's just interesting to see how the brain is different.
Speaker 1: It's like they're just kind of devoid of emotion, you know,
Speaker 1: which I think is a bonus. I mean it's direct,
Speaker 1: very directed to the point, and it's like, great, that's perfect.
Speaker 1: But this guy was like, listen, it's so hard to
Speaker 1: be in your world. Like, imagine the world is built
Speaker 1: for somebody else, everybody else but you, and you're in
Speaker 1: this world and you want to be part of it,
Speaker 1: but like, you'll never ever be ordering off of the
Speaker 1: same menu as everybody else. And he's like, to be
Speaker 1: a member of society, I have to put the effort
Speaker 1: forth even though I don't feel emotional, and he goes,
Speaker 1: I understand what it means to be a member of society,
Speaker 1: and I would rather be a member of society than
Speaker 1: not be. So I have to work twice as hard
Speaker 1: to be able to communicate and express to people like hey,
Speaker 1: I might not react the way you want because I
Speaker 1: have autism. That sounds exhausting for him, I know, I know, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Well it's going to be changing because now they say,
Speaker 1: like one in four kids is autistic. Well I think
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense because when we think
Speaker 1: about growing up, and there was always kids that were
Speaker 1: seemed slightly off or seemed like their social cues were off,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I remember disregarding people like that,
Speaker 1: thinking like there was something wrong with them, and it's like, obviously,
Speaker 1: now we know there's nothing wrong with them. But it's
Speaker 1: really enlightening to learn about that stuff because I didn't
Speaker 1: really understand autism. And this book is fucking awesome. Okay, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: what are we doing today? What's going on? Sweetheart? We
Speaker 1: are We're talking about something that you have an abundance of. Well,
Speaker 1: people perceive that you have an abundant of this breast
Speaker 1: milk confidence, and I would say that you are inherently confident.
Speaker 1: Would you say that, sweetheart? From personal experience, I would.
Speaker 1: I think that's something people put on me all the time.
Speaker 1: They think I have no fear, and then I'm super confident.
Speaker 1: I'm like, where did I don't know where I left
Speaker 1: that impression. No, see, I can separate those two. I
Speaker 1: think that you have a reasonable amount of fear going
Speaker 1: into some things, maybe it's a project or an event,
Speaker 1: but your confidence surpasses your fear. You are confident enough
Speaker 1: to accept the fear and move forward, which other people aren't.
Speaker 1: I think that's why people perceive you as being so
Speaker 1: confident that you'll go into things, maybe blindly sometimes yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I have the confidence in my ability to get through
Speaker 1: it and to make it a positive experience. Yes, I do.
Speaker 1: I do have that. I believe in myself. A lot
Speaker 1: of people don't have that. A lot of people have
Speaker 1: issues in so many aspects of their lives with their confidence,
Speaker 1: whether it be at work, at home, with their body.
Speaker 1: And so I think you're really I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a lot to say for this episode. Yes, well,
Speaker 1: well that's what we're here for. We're here to build
Speaker 1: people up, right. We want everybody to be a little
Speaker 1: bit braver and a little bit more confident. I had
Speaker 1: to say. I was seeing a patient earlier today on
Speaker 1: the telephone. I was talking to a friend of mine
Speaker 1: who was going through something difficult with her daughter, and
Speaker 1: she really was a hot mess. And I spent about
Speaker 1: an hour on the phone with her, like her voice
Speaker 1: was shaking and and and there was such fragility in
Speaker 1: her voice that I was I just I felt her
Speaker 1: pain so much. And then by the time we got off,
Speaker 1: she was a little bit stronger and a little bit calmer,
Speaker 1: and I told her to do some serious deep breathing exercises.
Speaker 1: And so that's an example for me of people in
Speaker 1: my life that don't have that confidence, and I just
Speaker 1: I wish I could just you know, you wish you
Speaker 1: could just inject them. Yeah, I want to get injected
Speaker 1: with a small syringe, but the syringes I used for
Speaker 1: my peptides in the morning, and just give it to
Speaker 1: people and be like, here's your confidence shot. You know,
Speaker 1: everyone has it in them, within them, they just have
Speaker 1: to tap into it. But I think that you are
Speaker 1: able to give that to them in a way just
Speaker 1: by practicing what you preach, that you are able to
Speaker 1: show them that confidence by doing what you say you're
Speaker 1: going to do and by operating in a certain way
Speaker 1: like that is powerful for people to see. And we've
Speaker 1: heard it because people will call in and say that
Speaker 1: that through your example, they've been able to find that
Speaker 1: strength of that resilience or whatever. That is not tuting
Speaker 1: your own horn. But I do think it's important that
Speaker 1: people in our lives set those sort of examples, because
Speaker 1: you really are able to kind of harness your own
Speaker 1: confidence when you see it through someone else. Well. I
Speaker 1: just did it also this morning when I was in
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills because I had to go to a dermatologist
Speaker 1: to talk about doing something to my under eyed skin
Speaker 1: because it's so creepy. So there's some CEO two laser
Speaker 1: you can do. And I was over there. I aunted
Speaker 1: that to her full face and yeah, but it seems
Speaker 1: like that's a big thing. Yeah, she it was sand
Speaker 1: blest stuff. I will say. The recovery time was very
Speaker 1: quick for her. That's what I need to talk to
Speaker 1: you about. She told me I could make the recovery
Speaker 1: time four days or two weeks. I'm like, that's like
Speaker 1: when you go into a drug store and there's used
Speaker 1: infection cure and it's like, you have a used infection.
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, here's monost at seven for seven days,
Speaker 1: and here's the one day. It's like, why the fuck
Speaker 1: what I want to go on? That needs to be
Speaker 1: a quick rapper days. Why wouldn't you take the fucking
Speaker 1: one off? It's so stupid anyway, so we'll we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know. She said I should do
Speaker 1: it to my upper eyes and lower eyes to make
Speaker 1: the skin a little bit tighter there. But that not
Speaker 1: my bravery story. That's just me, you know, being vain.
Speaker 1: I left there and I was in Beverly Hills, which
Speaker 1: I really don't enjoy being in because it's just only
Speaker 1: in the mornings. In the afternoons, there's just it's just
Speaker 1: too much for me. Anyway, I thought, I'm so sick
Speaker 1: of looking at my purse. This is my opportunity to
Speaker 1: go to Neimans and get a new purse, because the
Speaker 1: purse is something that I can't have another person buy
Speaker 1: for me. So I I fucking hate shopping. I don't
Speaker 1: do it. I don't want to do it, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing of interest to be about it. I wish I
Speaker 1: could say it interested me, just to appease some of
Speaker 1: my friends who like to talk about that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But I can't get into it. So but I said
Speaker 1: to myself, I was like, you can't do this, like
Speaker 1: you're an adult. You can go there. It's only ten thirty,
Speaker 1: it won't be crowded, like you know exactly where you go.
Speaker 1: I always just go straight to the same brand that
Speaker 1: I always buy, which is not worth mentioning. And I
Speaker 1: go and I went in and I was like, this
Speaker 1: is fine, this is fine. You have to go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom by the time you give them the credit
Speaker 1: card to do that transaction, which for some reason takes
Speaker 1: an inordinate amount of time close to minutes to ring
Speaker 1: up a purse. I'm not sure what. And then she
Speaker 1: was wrapping, I was like, please, I just want to
Speaker 1: put everything in my old purse in this purse, and
Speaker 1: you can take this and throw it in the garbage.
Speaker 1: And I hope that's what she did, or maybe somebody
Speaker 1: wanted it. I doubt it. It was so ugly and
Speaker 1: beat up, but you did it anyway. That was my confidence.
Speaker 1: I don't really think that applies to what we're talking about,
Speaker 1: but that was I needed to have the confidence that
Speaker 1: I could go in as finish the task and accomplish
Speaker 1: the task without being annoyed that I had to go
Speaker 1: into You know, well, I would argue that it does
Speaker 1: align with it because it's we've talked about this as well,
Speaker 1: that you have to do those little things that make
Speaker 1: you uncomfortable because it's filling your confidence bank. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I think my confidence bank is pretty full, So let's
Speaker 1: fill some other people's confidence banks. All right, Well, let's
Speaker 1: start with Meg. She is thirty years old. She writes,
Speaker 1: Dear Chelsea, one of the things I love about you
Speaker 1: is how confident you come across. This is something i've
Speaker 1: always struggled with so I've tried to become an nudist
Speaker 1: in private to try and be more confident. I know
Speaker 1: you sometimes post naked post on social media, so I
Speaker 1: was wondering if you had any advice and if being
Speaker 1: naked could help my confidence. Lots of love, Meg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think there is something to being naked,
Speaker 1: Hi Meg, or No, she's not okay. It's like, I
Speaker 1: still don't understand what we're doing here. I know the
Speaker 1: other day you exited off of our zoom that we
Speaker 1: need for this because you just I thought that was
Speaker 1: how you said goodbye. You just wanted to get get
Speaker 1: it wrapped up. Yes, I think there is a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence that comes with nudity and also accepting your flaws,
Speaker 1: right because I have cellulite, I have all the things
Speaker 1: that like girls don't like to have, and then you
Speaker 1: start to look at it and you're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is kind of part of my life. I mean, I
Speaker 1: work out and I'm very vain and I'm into being
Speaker 1: fit and all of that too. So but it's all
Speaker 1: like a nice package, and there is something very liberating
Speaker 1: about walking around nude and kind of like really loving
Speaker 1: on yourself and loving your body because it's really the
Speaker 1: only one you've got, so you might as well start
Speaker 1: to enjoy it, right right. You know who does a
Speaker 1: great job with this is Lizzo Yeah, and Ashley Graham. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that there needs to be more of that
Speaker 1: because this is a good practice to put in place,
Speaker 1: because I think the more you see what you feel
Speaker 1: as a flaw, the more normalized it becomes, so it's
Speaker 1: not something that seems so out of place because your
Speaker 1: clothes so often. So I guess the more you could
Speaker 1: be nude to assess and accept your body as it is,
Speaker 1: the more confident you could become. Yes, agreed, absolutely. I
Speaker 1: think also we tend to fixate sometimes on partions of
Speaker 1: our body, like you have been doing with your lower
Speaker 1: ab thing popping out. We fixate on things, and I
Speaker 1: certainly do the same thing, and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you get over it somehow. I used to fixate
Speaker 1: on this, like I have this like tiny little dimple
Speaker 1: on my arm, and I was psychotic about it. I
Speaker 1: remember when I was like on Chelsea lately, like I'd
Speaker 1: be like, can you see that dimple? Can you see
Speaker 1: that dimple? I still have that dimple on my arm,
Speaker 1: but I don't even give a shit about it, and
Speaker 1: more because I just got over it. So when you
Speaker 1: are fixated on certain things in your body, it's good
Speaker 1: to try to like push through to the other side
Speaker 1: and accept it so that attention can go elsewhere towards
Speaker 1: like positive vibes, towards yourself, rather than being like, oh,
Speaker 1: I fucking hate this part of my body. It's like,
Speaker 1: you're healthy, you're strong, and you're getting stronger. If you're
Speaker 1: working towards, you know, getting stronger. Well, I think part
Speaker 1: of that is also investing energy into the things that
Speaker 1: you have or the things that you can enhance. So
Speaker 1: like you have an insane amount of ab strength, you're
Speaker 1: just a strong woman. Here we go, sweethearts, jealous of
Speaker 1: my ab strength and this has always been it with you.
Speaker 1: I just think that if you can re apply that
Speaker 1: energy into other areas, Like for me, maybe my abs
Speaker 1: are never going to be what I want them to be.
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, my chest grows really quickly, and
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of men have. I would like
Speaker 1: my chest to be as big as yours, so I'll
Speaker 1: keep working on that. But I think also it's just
Speaker 1: reapplying that purpose and energy into something else, like, don't
Speaker 1: focus and I'm you know, I'm saying this because I'm
Speaker 1: working on this as well. Don't focus on the things
Speaker 1: that your body is not doing for you, focus on
Speaker 1: the things that it is doing. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Problem solved. Thanks Meg. Okay, let's go to break for
Speaker 1: a second so that we can gather and collect ourselves
Speaker 1: and come back fuller and stronger and more voluptuous. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's our next submission, Brandon? Our next submission comes from
Speaker 1: Brittany Spears. We need to talk to her. Well, actually
Speaker 1: we need to talk to like her dad says she
Speaker 1: has dementia. He has fucking dementia. Fuck her father. Fuck
Speaker 1: Britney Spears father. Give her to her mother. If somebody's
Speaker 1: gonna have a she's gonna have a conservator, let it
Speaker 1: be her mother. She needs a maternal character. Yeah, seriously,
Speaker 1: I mean, she's got dementia. Maybe because people lobotomized her,
Speaker 1: could be probably rejected her with dementia? Is that? Poor girl?
Speaker 1: Poor girl? You know what, I don't want to have
Speaker 1: a child, But if somebody said you have to take
Speaker 1: care of Britney Spears, I fucking would and she probably
Speaker 1: thrive under your way. Yeah, well, she would get all
Speaker 1: the help she needs, and she would be allowed to
Speaker 1: do what she wants when she wants, and figure out
Speaker 1: a way for her to get back together with her children.
Speaker 1: She doesn't even see her children. There's a much different
Speaker 1: priority in place now for younger stars and their mental health.
Speaker 1: Like I think a lot of them are kind of
Speaker 1: forced to see a therapist and forced to take time.
Speaker 1: They're not workhorses like she was. So it's really interesting
Speaker 1: to see the Ariana Grande is a Demilovado's Taylor Swifts,
Speaker 1: who I think have a better foundation for kind of
Speaker 1: a work life balance even though they seem to be
Speaker 1: working all the Yeah, I mean, Justin Bieber kind of
Speaker 1: lost his way. He didn't get at fifty put on
Speaker 1: him and put in a mental hospital like this happens
Speaker 1: to guys too, so sexist. On top of it, I
Speaker 1: would love a man in charge of a girl. Thank
Speaker 1: god he's stepping down, Good riddance, Thank you for listening. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not part of the free Brittney tribe,
Speaker 1: even though I believe in the free Brittney tribe. So
Speaker 1: thank thank God for the sitting period and on their
Speaker 1: behalf and on Britney's behalf. Where were we, Brandon, We're
Speaker 1: with Brittany. Brittany is out of Miami. She's twenty three.
Speaker 1: She's on the phone. Her submission says, Dear Chelsea, I've
Speaker 1: always admired you because of your confidence. I'm very much
Speaker 1: the same way when it comes to my personal life.
Speaker 1: I have the confidence of a six eight m v
Speaker 1: P n B. A player that's aboutful. The problem is,
Speaker 1: now that I am transitioning into adulthood, I realized that
Speaker 1: I don't have the same confidence in my professional life.
Speaker 1: I'm currently applying for grad school for film and video production.
Speaker 1: I know it is a male dominated profession and I
Speaker 1: shouldn't let that shake me, but it does. Any advice
Speaker 1: for a young woman going into a male dominated industry,
Speaker 1: Thanks Brittany. Brittany, Hi, hi, bt So tell us about
Speaker 1: how do you feel like you're lacking confidence lately as
Speaker 1: comparable to your previous life. Yeah. I think it's just
Speaker 1: a mixture of being young and having no experience in
Speaker 1: the field I want to go into and knowing that
Speaker 1: like I'm a Latina woman going into this very male
Speaker 1: doated industry. And so I find that a little nerve wracking,
Speaker 1: I guess, even though like in my personal life, I've
Speaker 1: always never let any of that shake me. Um. I know,
Speaker 1: even underestimated for being a woman, for being Latina, for
Speaker 1: being all these things, but it's never gotten to me.
Speaker 1: And I think it's also the transition of going from
Speaker 1: being a student my whole life to actually being a
Speaker 1: professional adult. And so yeah, I think that's my main issue.
Speaker 1: And what light of work are you in? She's going
Speaker 1: to grad school for film and video production, right, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I would say right off the bat, you're in an
Speaker 1: advantageous position right now. You're Latina. That's a good thing.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Everyone is being forced to recognize
Speaker 1: Latino X people when they're interviewing for jobs in a
Speaker 1: way that they haven't been before. And that includes all
Speaker 1: the men that you're intimidated by, So they actually should
Speaker 1: be intimidated by you. So you just need to bring
Speaker 1: it because you know what I mean, They are listening
Speaker 1: and you have an advantage to go in there and
Speaker 1: just knock their socks off. Sorry to use that expression,
Speaker 1: I sound like my father, but I couldn't think of
Speaker 1: anything better. Sometimes I sound like I'm elderly, sweetheart. Well
Speaker 1: you're entering that stage of life. I am transitioning into
Speaker 1: an elderly woman. But anyway, Brittany, Yeah, you should have
Speaker 1: all the confidence in the world because you have to
Speaker 1: use this moment in time is unique for all marginalized communities.
Speaker 1: You have an advantage now, I know it. Probably I
Speaker 1: can't say that across the board because a lot of
Speaker 1: people are trying to implement that advantage. But you're going
Speaker 1: to end up at a place that is actually serious
Speaker 1: about making change in their company, and so you should
Speaker 1: use that in accompaniment with your skills, with everything that
Speaker 1: you're learning in school, like you're ready to hit a
Speaker 1: home run. So I don't know what the problem is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the mixture of the pressure of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: all that change is happening, and now I'm being thrown
Speaker 1: in to that change and to be one of the
Speaker 1: first Growing up, all I saw was especially in the
Speaker 1: industry acting. I never even knew there's a hole behind
Speaker 1: the scenes side of this career, and I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that tool was older, and so all I knew was
Speaker 1: the latina was the nanny, the maid, the gangster's girlfriend,
Speaker 1: and like how I was portrayed in that industry kind
Speaker 1: of took me aback a bit, and so I was like,
Speaker 1: why is this something I want to go into? And
Speaker 1: then I think now, like I have a chance to
Speaker 1: make that difference, to be the person behind the scenes
Speaker 1: to make that recognition, and I think the pressure of
Speaker 1: that also might be Yeah, but what a great motivator.
Speaker 1: You're looking at it as pressure, where it's just such
Speaker 1: a great boost you know what I mean, It's a
Speaker 1: boost in like you're going to set the tone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a huge responsibility, but go in there and make
Speaker 1: every every Latina girl proud of you and paved the
Speaker 1: way for them to follow in your footsteps. Huge opportunity here, Brandon. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and some people can perform and thrive under pressure, and
Speaker 1: i've you're one of those people. I think so too.
Speaker 1: I think you need to believe that you're one of
Speaker 1: those people first, So you just need to accept that
Speaker 1: for what it is. The pressure is not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: The pressure, like Chelsea said, is going to motivate you
Speaker 1: to do your best to get the representation for the
Speaker 1: community that you weren't fortunate enough to see. Like the
Speaker 1: momentum is working in your favor right now. And I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what you want to do, but I
Speaker 1: just want to tell you about someone that we both
Speaker 1: work with. Her name is Darling Higgins, and she is
Speaker 1: one of the most like respected people in her field.
Speaker 1: She works behind the scenes. She is Venezuelan. She is
Speaker 1: a bad ass bitch, and she does not take she
Speaker 1: does not take ship from anyone, and she is the
Speaker 1: best at her job. Like people seek her out and
Speaker 1: you don't know her, but like the example that she
Speaker 1: sets for other women in the industry that you can
Speaker 1: do anything you want to do and you can be
Speaker 1: that for someone else. So that's what you need to remember,
Speaker 1: is that just because you've not seen it or you've
Speaker 1: not had it, doesn't mean you're not going to be
Speaker 1: that for someone else. So take that responsibility and run
Speaker 1: with it, like you're going to thrive. Yes, you are
Speaker 1: going to thrive. I aready know this. But the other
Speaker 1: thing is yes to just piggyback on what Brandon said
Speaker 1: is that when you don't have the strength for yourself,
Speaker 1: think about the girls that are going to come behind you,
Speaker 1: you know, think about having the strength for them, and
Speaker 1: then it becomes so easy yeah, I mean that makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I've known this, like I know this,
Speaker 1: like this makes sense to me. I've always been this
Speaker 1: way as a student and as a person in my
Speaker 1: friend group, and I think now I need to transfer
Speaker 1: that over to your professional life. Well, I think in
Speaker 1: your youth too, We've talked about this. Everyone has a
Speaker 1: misplaced amount of confidence. So now you just kind of
Speaker 1: you just kind of have to reassess that and compartmentalize
Speaker 1: it into what you're doing now. So you know that
Speaker 1: you have that confidence within you, you you just need to
Speaker 1: apply it as you move forward professionally. Like it's still there,
Speaker 1: It's still in you, it's inherent. So don't let it
Speaker 1: fall to the waistide just because you're going into something
Speaker 1: a little bit unknown, like, if anything, let it give
Speaker 1: you the extra boosts that you need. M Yeah, you
Speaker 1: just need to calibrate our previous confidence, which is more
Speaker 1: of a naive confidence, right, your previous confidence with all
Speaker 1: the skills that you're learning and the education that you've gotten,
Speaker 1: and combine those two things and then you have all
Speaker 1: the tools that you need to power through this and
Speaker 1: to you know, emerge victorious and to set a great
Speaker 1: example along the way like, it's so much to look
Speaker 1: forward to. I'm excited for you. Thank you. Please keep
Speaker 1: us posted, let us know how it goes. Yeah for sure,
Speaker 1: I'll be starting in the fall. So so where are
Speaker 1: you starting? Do you know what? Like? Well, grad school
Speaker 1: you're starting? Yeah, yeah, okay, Well that's gonna be fun too,
Speaker 1: grad school. Good for you. Congratulations, thank you, thank you, Brittany,
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. Brittany. Oh god, I look
Speaker 1: like Nicknolty again. Um yes, actually, oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: so funny you say that because I was driving this
Speaker 1: morning and I was like, God, I'd like to go
Speaker 1: take some classes at college. You should find out. But
Speaker 1: I would actually ever go. But why not? Because I
Speaker 1: don't want to be in a classroom with a bunch
Speaker 1: of people. I don't know why. You love people, I know,
Speaker 1: but I just don't. I don't want that kind of attention.
Speaker 1: I think you should have that sort of life experience.
Speaker 1: I think that it would mean a lot to you
Speaker 1: want to send me away to college, Sweeter. I just
Speaker 1: think it would mean a lot to you to be
Speaker 1: able to go and get an education, because you are.
Speaker 1: You are so self educated that I really do think
Speaker 1: that even if you do it later in life. Like
Speaker 1: there was this woman. I think she went to a
Speaker 1: s U I can't remember, but she was one and
Speaker 1: she graduated with her granddaughter. Maybe we could go back
Speaker 1: to school together. Maybe I should grit well, I first
Speaker 1: of all, if I'm going to have a granddaughter, I
Speaker 1: need to have a daughter first. And if I'm going
Speaker 1: to graduate from college with my granddaughter, I think it's
Speaker 1: a little light. Well, no, we still have time. Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: the doctor said, my eggs are really strong or whatever
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know how many eggs I have,
Speaker 1: but apparently they're swimming fast or is that sperm that spermops?
Speaker 1: So if I have baby now forty six, okay, forty
Speaker 1: I would have to get pregnant, and then the pregnancy
Speaker 1: would have to take, which it will because it's so
Speaker 1: fucking fertile. Okay, so then I have a baby plus
Speaker 1: eighteen equals sixty six. If I have a baby and
Speaker 1: I can engineer it to be a girl, forced her
Speaker 1: to have another baby by the time I'm sixty five,
Speaker 1: I can have a granddaughter and then another eighteen years. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to have my daughter have a baby
Speaker 1: earlier than well. I think that you we could skip
Speaker 1: a few of these steps. You adopt like a latent
Speaker 1: life foster, like Britney spears. Yes, perfect. She already has kids,
Speaker 1: so you congraduate with one of her kids, with Preston.
Speaker 1: She has one named Preston. I know that for say,
Speaker 1: great problem solved. Okay, I've called into the podcast. You
Speaker 1: still can. Our next mission comes from Melissa. She's forty
Speaker 1: six out of Toronto. She is a travel radio host.
Speaker 1: A travel radio host, I wonder if that means that
Speaker 1: she traveled or her radio shows about travel. We'll find out.
Speaker 1: Her question is, Dear Chelsea, I was caught between the
Speaker 1: working world and all of its perks and saying scrutous
Speaker 1: city life and living closer to the outdoors, making less
Speaker 1: money and throwing caution to the wind. We are the
Speaker 1: same age. I'm ready for a change. I love to travel,
Speaker 1: I love adventures. I have multiple talents that I use
Speaker 1: in my non financial passion projects as a writer, podcaster,
Speaker 1: and interviewer. But I haven't figured out my entrepreneurial angle
Speaker 1: that will enable me to give the big middle finger
Speaker 1: to corporate life. What do I do? Do we have
Speaker 1: Melissa yeah, Hi, Hi, how's it going. It's going. How's
Speaker 1: it going with you? I am not too bad? That
Speaker 1: is always a good sign, right. So are you in Canada? Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm in Toronto, Okay. And you have a traveling radio show?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? So about five years ago I
Speaker 1: started a show called Fly Travel Radio. So it's on
Speaker 1: a community radio station, but it's also a podcast. So
Speaker 1: I'm basically a un woman operation. I created it. I'm
Speaker 1: the host, interviewer, editor, all the above, all of it.
Speaker 1: So that's my passion project. On the side, though in
Speaker 1: my nine to five I work at a university, so
Speaker 1: I'm in like project event program management and like the
Speaker 1: golden handcuff job. Right, So you have good pay, good benefits,
Speaker 1: good perks, but it's not fulfilling your soul or your
Speaker 1: destiny or anything like that. So it gets to be
Speaker 1: a hard time, right when you're like, do you stay
Speaker 1: for the security or do you create your own path
Speaker 1: and bolt and just like find your own freedom. And
Speaker 1: I talk a lot in my show. I meet all
Speaker 1: these people who have done that, Right, They've left like
Speaker 1: traditional nine to fives and they have location independent businesses.
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to go and live in Costa
Speaker 1: Rica for three months. You can go and do that
Speaker 1: if your laptop is with you, or live in a
Speaker 1: ski town for a winter. Right. It's like that freedom
Speaker 1: and that ability to control your own life. Right. So
Speaker 1: a couple of questions, Are you in a relationship? Yes?
Speaker 1: I am, okay, So what does that mean to you?
Speaker 1: Does that something you're willing to give up and leave
Speaker 1: or are you willing are is that person coming with you? No,
Speaker 1: he would come with me. He's also pursuing voice work
Speaker 1: and he's a huge traveler as well, so that we
Speaker 1: share together. Oh well, that's even better. That's a fun
Speaker 1: time for an adventure. You have a couple, like somebody
Speaker 1: you want to do it with that feels like yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all about taking a leap of faith.
Speaker 1: So I would encourage anyone to just, you know, be
Speaker 1: able to go out and see the world. You could
Speaker 1: do your one man operation, your one woman operation from wherever, right,
Speaker 1: you can do your podcast and radio show from wherever
Speaker 1: you are in the world. Absolutely, it's just it's an
Speaker 1: all volunteer, right. So it's more that I have to
Speaker 1: create a business that's uh lucrative where there's some cash
Speaker 1: because you know, right, so you have to go somewhere
Speaker 1: and find another job and you don't really know what
Speaker 1: you want to do, right, Actually, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: I have a lot of things, like I'm I can write,
Speaker 1: like an interview, I am good at people manage, minute,
Speaker 1: project management. There's a lot of things in my wheelhouse.
Speaker 1: I just have to figure out how to monetize it.
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, like when you're forty six, right, you
Speaker 1: have this it's a dividing line where you're like, do
Speaker 1: you bolt or do you just suck it up for
Speaker 1: a few more years? But I'm pretty sure it's you know,
Speaker 1: life is short and there's always a chapter for new
Speaker 1: a new way to live. So that's where we're at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the right attitude. I think that's my attitude. I
Speaker 1: don't want to suck anything up, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I really just don't. I don't want to. And if
Speaker 1: you have the ability to not do it, you have
Speaker 1: money saved where you could go somewhere and like, like,
Speaker 1: could you bounce around the world for three or six
Speaker 1: months and find a place that you really like and
Speaker 1: then worry about getting a job. Do you have that
Speaker 1: that kind of savings or no, yeah, yeah, I do yeah, yeah, son,
Speaker 1: I think you have your answer. I mean you need
Speaker 1: to get after it. It's true, it's true. What do
Speaker 1: you think. I think you need to embrace the unknown.
Speaker 1: I think that this last year has really shown a
Speaker 1: lot of people that time is of the essence, Like
Speaker 1: you have to get out and do the things you
Speaker 1: want to do now because we don't know what's coming.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of options for online work
Speaker 1: right now that you can just contract in for. Like
Speaker 1: there's I keep seeing this website for people to type
Speaker 1: out closed captioning because everyone is in need of close
Speaker 1: captioning now for inclusivity. And you get paid by the words.
Speaker 1: So some people are making like fi per post that
Speaker 1: they close caption so there, yeah, there. They will send you,
Speaker 1: they will send you the video and you have to
Speaker 1: transcribe it. So I just think that there are a
Speaker 1: lot of ways now to make money remotely. You can
Speaker 1: work for Apple remotely. You can do the Apple care services.
Speaker 1: I used to work for Apple, so I know that,
Speaker 1: and they pay great and you can kind of set
Speaker 1: your hours for that. So again, if it's just about
Speaker 1: getting out and having your own schedule and being on
Speaker 1: your own time. There are a lot of ways to
Speaker 1: do that now. Yeah, yeah, I would agree. I think
Speaker 1: quarantine and COVID have have Broughten all Broughten I just said,
Speaker 1: I said, Broughten, don't do the transcribing. Yeah, maybe I
Speaker 1: won't do the transcribing. I mean here I am a
Speaker 1: regular words smith, constantly sucking up my words. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there are that it's been brought to light that
Speaker 1: you can now pretty much do almost everything from home,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean so many more places and companies
Speaker 1: that are opening up to this, and there are so
Speaker 1: many little loopholes. For example, in Costa Rica, they just
Speaker 1: passed legislation to attract more digital nomads. They change the
Speaker 1: law so you wouldn't have to renew your tourist visa
Speaker 1: for your year, with the option of renewing for a
Speaker 1: second year versus every three months. So now you'll also
Speaker 1: be able to legally drive using your driver's license from
Speaker 1: your own country and open a bank account in Costa Rica,
Speaker 1: which is pretty great. So there's no shortage of opportunities.
Speaker 1: It's just about finding the right opportunities. It's kind of
Speaker 1: analogous to getting scholarships at schools, like there's all these
Speaker 1: ins and outs for every university to get funding or
Speaker 1: to get help with scholarships or housing money like you know,
Speaker 1: and there are people who specialize in telling students, oh,
Speaker 1: this is how you can save money. Here, you can
Speaker 1: get this loan. People just don't know how to use
Speaker 1: lies all those services. I was just having a conversation
Speaker 1: with somebody yesterday and she's like, oh my god, you
Speaker 1: can almost get everything paid for. You just have to
Speaker 1: have somebody who knows their way around it. But I
Speaker 1: think that applies to so many things in life. There
Speaker 1: are so many avenues to get revenue and ways to
Speaker 1: accrue revenue that you don't even know about just yet.
Speaker 1: So if you did spend some time researching that, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you'd come up with something that kind of fits
Speaker 1: your skill set well. It's also it's also not permanent,
Speaker 1: so like just as if you wanted to go away
Speaker 1: for three or six months, even a year, if you
Speaker 1: have the means to do that, you can always go back.
Speaker 1: Like you're obviously articulate and skilled in your field, so
Speaker 1: I don't think you have a problem getting a job back.
Speaker 1: But if you don't ever take the step to kind
Speaker 1: of put yourself out of your comfort zone. You're gonna wonder.
Speaker 1: So absolutely totally. The other thing that goes with this
Speaker 1: is that you're pregnant. Yeah, totally forty six loving it. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm trying to get pregnant right now. It's
Speaker 1: not easy my thoughts. Yeah, I have organize this year
Speaker 1: off with my employer. Right, But if you do that,
Speaker 1: it's like I get out of jail free card for
Speaker 1: a year because you can go, but you have to
Speaker 1: come back to like this job. So this is like
Speaker 1: also part of the dilemma where I'm just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm done. Yeah, well I think that's your answer. You're done, right,
Speaker 1: you know your answer? I do. Yeah. Well, it seems
Speaker 1: like you solved your own issue. Well it was really helpful.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Okay, thanks talking to you. Yeah
Speaker 1: you too. Take care. Another problem solved, sweetheart. People just
Speaker 1: want to be transients. That's what I've realized. Everyone is
Speaker 1: searching for a way to not have a normal job.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's just so nice to have freedom,
Speaker 1: you know, to have be free. Like even my sister
Speaker 1: she works all day long on zooms one zoom and
Speaker 1: then another's room, and it's all about healthcare and like biotech,
Speaker 1: and I mean, I don't know how she does it,
Speaker 1: and you know she takes her job seriously. Obviously I don't,
Speaker 1: but you know, she could basically do it from anywhere.
Speaker 1: But now they're talking about everyone going back into the office,
Speaker 1: so now she's like, I've got to go everywhere I
Speaker 1: could go now before they're requiring us to be back,
Speaker 1: so she can do it from wherever. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why people are doing that, but I
Speaker 1: guess there is something to be said, obviously for socializing
Speaker 1: and having a network of people in an office working
Speaker 1: towards the same goal or a common goal. And you know,
Speaker 1: there is a camaraderie in that. You can't deny that,
Speaker 1: but it should be up to the individual if they
Speaker 1: want to be involved in that kind of chicanery, because
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want to be around other people.
Speaker 1: I wonder how that will work with television is the
Speaker 1: way of the future. I mean, I feel like they
Speaker 1: got so good at producing things remotely that there's not
Speaker 1: really Like Drew Barrymore her show, they basically teleport guests
Speaker 1: in so people don't you have to show up anywhere,
Speaker 1: and it looks great. Yeah, it looks like you're sitting
Speaker 1: right next to her. I think I did it, didn't
Speaker 1: I it was zoom yours was a zoom but you
Speaker 1: had the option. It didn't work out. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: seems like there are going to be a lot of
Speaker 1: ways to get people so working together remotely. There is
Speaker 1: a platform where they set up an artificial office space
Speaker 1: and you can click on people's rooms like you're walking
Speaker 1: into their office and it will start their camera. Like
Speaker 1: you have to allow for that to happen, but you
Speaker 1: set certain office hours so you know people are there
Speaker 1: working as a team. And you can use this online
Speaker 1: grid too immediately contact people like as if you were
Speaker 1: just walking right through the door. Oh that's so cool,
Speaker 1: they're there. Do that with my bell at the house
Speaker 1: so that you don't have to see her, No, so
Speaker 1: that she doesn't have to see me. Well, she would
Speaker 1: love that, I know. That's what I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: is help her enjoy herself more without me there. She
Speaker 1: sees me and she's just like fuck. So what do
Speaker 1: you think about Ellen showing? Do you think it's time
Speaker 1: just as just as a creative person that like you
Speaker 1: hit your mark with Chelsea lately and then you could
Speaker 1: not do it anymore. No, no, but I have a
Speaker 1: short I have a very short tolerance attention doing it
Speaker 1: almost twenty years. Yeah, yeah, no, it's time. I mean,
Speaker 1: anytime you end something, then that's the time it should
Speaker 1: end well. And you said recently that you would possibly
Speaker 1: be interested in going back into interviewing people. You want
Speaker 1: me to be Ellen's replacement, I would love if you.
Speaker 1: I think that should go to a woman of color,
Speaker 1: quite honestly. Well, I love your interview style and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people do and miss it. Sweetheart,
Speaker 1: you're all over me today. Oh my god, you forget.
Speaker 1: I was a fan first, and sometimes that comes out.
Speaker 1: But now you think that you could do it again,
Speaker 1: you could stumps And I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I say things and I don't know, and necessarily if
Speaker 1: I've thought things through, I mean, yeah, I would be
Speaker 1: open to a conversation about hosting a TV show again.
Speaker 1: But I know what my limits are, and I know
Speaker 1: what my attention span is, and I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be tied to onto a short, yes short, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be tied down to being in a studio
Speaker 1: five days a week like that wouldn't be my cup
Speaker 1: of tea. I don't want to go to through that again.
Speaker 1: And I don't like having a staff of a hundred people.
Speaker 1: So like when I hosted Ellen's show, which it was
Speaker 1: a great time, but that's because it was I walking
Speaker 1: into a well oiled machine. Everything was set up for you.
Speaker 1: It's not building the show. There's no sense of responsibility
Speaker 1: other than the episodes im on, you know, like it
Speaker 1: comes with a whole package, so it is a deeper,
Speaker 1: more thoughtful I would have to really think about that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that show, specifically, if they're going to keep it,
Speaker 1: should go to a black or Asian or Latino woman.
Speaker 1: You heard it here first, you guys. That out of
Speaker 1: the way, Okay, So we are going to take a
Speaker 1: break right now and gather our emotions and you come
Speaker 1: back and we're gonna be fresher, fresh as a daisy.
Speaker 1: That's me. Bye. Today's episode I think is about confidence, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's about keeping confidence, keeping someone's confidence, or it's
Speaker 1: about having confidence. So it's kind of like a twofold episode.
Speaker 1: Well twofold meaning I should say it's not a twofold episode.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm talking about, but keeping
Speaker 1: someone's confidence and having someone's confidence, those even are nuanced,
Speaker 1: and then also being confident. And I like the subject
Speaker 1: of discussion because I think it's really contagious when people
Speaker 1: understand how to instill their own self confidence and keeping
Speaker 1: someone's confidence. I don't know how I would rate my
Speaker 1: performance on that. I try and keep secrets. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good about it. I try not to tell
Speaker 1: secrets other people's secrets. Confidence is a subject matter that
Speaker 1: I always love to talk about because I just think
Speaker 1: it's so important and obviously it makes a difference in
Speaker 1: your life because when you are confident, people respect that
Speaker 1: and they understand that, and like, you know, you set
Speaker 1: a different set of parameters for people to deal with you.
Speaker 1: So it's in everybody's best interest to figure out ways
Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, talk yourself up to yourself,
Speaker 1: all right. Our final submission comes oh to Double Duo.
Speaker 1: It is Ashley and Courtney. They write they are not
Speaker 1: on the phone, Dear Chelsea, My girlfriend and I are
Speaker 1: trying to resolve the sexual tension between one of our
Speaker 1: best friends and one of our new friends who also
Speaker 1: happens to be her roommate. Okay, so this is gonna
Speaker 1: be some We're going to pieces together. Maybe I'm going
Speaker 1: to start drawing a picture. Our best friend is afraid
Speaker 1: to tell her of her deep love because she doesn't
Speaker 1: want to ruin their friendship, but we secretly want them
Speaker 1: to be together and truly cannot stand the tension. It's
Speaker 1: slightly complicated because the new friend slash roommate is casually
Speaker 1: sleeping with someone but has been clear that they aren't exclusive,
Speaker 1: and also keeps trying to hold onto our best friend's hand.
Speaker 1: Should we spill the secret during a drunken night to
Speaker 1: get it over with? We need help? Yeah, I totally
Speaker 1: get it out. You guys have to go tell that girl,
Speaker 1: the one that she has a crush on. You have
Speaker 1: to find out is she into it, is she down
Speaker 1: with her? Is she interested in her? And if she is, like,
Speaker 1: let's get a move on. So, as friends, go help
Speaker 1: your one friend out, go to the other girl, the roommate,
Speaker 1: and figure it out. And if she's down, then don't
Speaker 1: get it twisted. So that was easy. That that was
Speaker 1: really in your wheelhouse today. Set hurt sometimes people. I
Speaker 1: think this is how I feel about friendship. I feel like,
Speaker 1: you want to take the liberty to go out of
Speaker 1: your way to help your friends succeed. So all friends
Speaker 1: should be that kind of friend. I know some people
Speaker 1: aren't like that. They're like, oh, I don't want to overstep.
Speaker 1: It's like no, no, no, there's no such thing when
Speaker 1: you're trying to help somebody achieve something like my friend
Speaker 1: and Whistler worked very, very very hard to get me penetrated.
Speaker 1: She was like, you will not leave Whistler this winter
Speaker 1: until you get penetrated. And I was like, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I really appreciate your efforts on my behalf.
Speaker 1: You know. She she would just to take no for
Speaker 1: an answer, and every guy that she presented, if I
Speaker 1: didn't like him, She's like, Okay, no problem, I'll find
Speaker 1: someone else. I'll find someone else. And then finally she
Speaker 1: did find somebody that I was able to be penetrated
Speaker 1: by a few times. So that to me was such
Speaker 1: a display. Talk about the marble jar, right, talk about
Speaker 1: putting marbles in the marble jar and saying, oh wow,
Speaker 1: that friend went out of her way for me to
Speaker 1: a degree that I haven't had a friend do that
Speaker 1: for me in a really long time. And I was
Speaker 1: really appreciative of that. So we've talked about the marble
Speaker 1: jar before, but I love it. It's burn A Brown
Speaker 1: wrote about it or spoke about it first. How friendship
Speaker 1: is a marble jar and how people add to the
Speaker 1: marble jar with every act of kindness or love or
Speaker 1: reliability or whatever you know you value in your friendships.
Speaker 1: Every time they do something or you have a great time,
Speaker 1: there's more marbles. And anytime they do something that you
Speaker 1: don't like, a marble gets taken out. But if you
Speaker 1: have a great friendship, there are so many marbles in
Speaker 1: the jar that nothing can break that you're never going
Speaker 1: to be low marble's it's like laying a foundation, basically,
Speaker 1: And I love it because it's so true and so
Speaker 1: many of my relationships, Like you don't leave a relationship
Speaker 1: when the marble jar is full anyway, that's the marble jar.
Speaker 1: So you know that makes me also want to go
Speaker 1: out of my way for her. But I think she
Speaker 1: has a husband, so it probably won't be penetration, right,
Speaker 1: but I can go out of my way for her
Speaker 1: in other ways. And but that to me is a real,
Speaker 1: real true friend. People like to make things way more
Speaker 1: complicated than they need to be I've realized through some
Speaker 1: of these emissions like that to me seemed very simple.
Speaker 1: You go to and you don't have to be drunk.
Speaker 1: You go to your friends, say this is what's going on,
Speaker 1: just like full transparency, so you can set reasonable expectations
Speaker 1: for yourself. Don't let her go into these things unknowingly,
Speaker 1: you know, interacting when you're aware of a circumstance. And
Speaker 1: also even if it turns into a messy situation. It
Speaker 1: sounds like they're younger, right, probably, Yeah, even if it
Speaker 1: turns into a messier situation like okay, so they hook
Speaker 1: up and then it ends badly, that's what your twenties are.
Speaker 1: Four fucked living arrangements. I mean, I've supped with roommates
Speaker 1: before and it hasn't ended well, Like it's all kind
Speaker 1: of part of it. So it's not like there's huge steaks.
Speaker 1: I guess apartments do sound like the huge steaks. But
Speaker 1: I would say that's no fun. It's fun to you know, experiment,
Speaker 1: especially with your roommates, and yeah, go for it. Well
Speaker 1: that's convenience right there. Yeah, that is convenience because you
Speaker 1: imagine in a success story like the Good if it
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, that sucks. But if it does work out,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. Yeah, you can send them back to their
Speaker 1: room after getting penetrated. That seems nice. The moral of
Speaker 1: the episode is that everybody needs to tell themselves something
Speaker 1: good about yourselves every fucking morning when you wake up,
Speaker 1: and then keep repeating that. If you like your eyelashes,
Speaker 1: start there. If you like your hair, your ears, your
Speaker 1: boobs or your arm, whatever it is, your personality. I said,
Speaker 1: all physical things, that's terrible. I mean, if you like
Speaker 1: your ability to remember name, that's a good one. Things
Speaker 1: that people like, If you have an ability to make
Speaker 1: people laugh, right, or if you are somebody who is
Speaker 1: really really loyal, you know, focus on that. Just everybody
Speaker 1: needs to remember that they're valuable and that they're unique,
Speaker 1: and that there is no one else on this earth
Speaker 1: that is exactly like you. So bring it. And that's
Speaker 1: all I have to say about that. Okay, I've made
Speaker 1: my opinions and declarations loud clear, and I'm sick of them.
Speaker 1: As our season finale wraps up today, in this episode,
Speaker 1: I'm feeling large amounts of gratitude for this unexpected podcast
Speaker 1: for me, because I didn't really set out for it
Speaker 1: to be serious. As serious as it is, I hope
Speaker 1: that it's funny to all of you people as well,
Speaker 1: because I do want to make you laugh. But I
Speaker 1: thought it would be more funny and less serious, and
Speaker 1: it's become more serious. So I am really like pleasantly
Speaker 1: surprised by that and not disappointed at all. It's like
Speaker 1: totally unexpected for me to go in that direction. And
Speaker 1: I just love the challenge and I love really having
Speaker 1: this connection with people because I really have seen so
Speaker 1: many people just kind of trust me, and I want
