Speaker 1: Wine Down with Janet Kramer and I Heart Radio Podcast. Hi,
Speaker 1: it's time to wind down again. Hi. Hi, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of in a mood. I'm just gonna put that out there,
Speaker 1: like right now. Well it's gloomy, that's I think that's
Speaker 1: definitely a problem. Um, it's like it rain. It's raining
Speaker 1: today in l A. At sixty degrees, and I think
Speaker 1: I definitely get like weather depression. I love this weather,
Speaker 1: you do, It's my favorite weather. It makes me want
Speaker 1: to do everything. Are you serious? Oh my gosh. It
Speaker 1: makes me want to crawl into like just a hole
Speaker 1: and in my bed and just watch like movies, which
Speaker 1: is great, but like I want to be productive today
Speaker 1: and I just feel like I've just been lagging and
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know, I'm just kind of like
Speaker 1: And I just got back from Nashville too. I was
Speaker 1: in Nashville all last week and I love l A.
Speaker 1: But I just feel like depressed coming back and I'm
Speaker 1: like bummed about that? Is it? Because the sun is
Speaker 1: an out well, I mean the weather is like amazing
Speaker 1: always in l A. So I know I can't complain
Speaker 1: because it's usually sunny seven. But I think again, like
Speaker 1: I love Nashville, and that's where I really want to
Speaker 1: raise Jolie. But what do you love about Nashville? Like,
Speaker 1: first of all, our our house is well when we're
Speaker 1: selling it, which is also really sad, and a lot
Speaker 1: of memories with that. But it's just we can afford
Speaker 1: a house in Nashville. We can't afford a house here
Speaker 1: in l A. And what we're renting right now is
Speaker 1: way more than our mortgage in Nashville. And it's just
Speaker 1: I mean champagne problems, you know. Again, Like we have
Speaker 1: a house. We're so thankful, but it's just it's just
Speaker 1: difficult when you know what you can have in Nashville
Speaker 1: and then you come here and you're like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: in a like a thousand square foot place. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a completely different lifestyle. And it's like schools for like
Speaker 1: every school in Nashville's and ten. So it's like in here,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it's a fool Like I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to I don't want to pay
Speaker 1: for private schooling. You know. I was like I I
Speaker 1: loved our public schools, and so I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: just I think I'm just in a mood and then also,
Speaker 1: like you know, Mike and I spent like about a
Speaker 1: week apart, and then you know, you just have to
Speaker 1: kind of get back into like groove of like being
Speaker 1: around someone. Wait a second, did you did we do
Speaker 1: the episode last week? And then you left for Nashville? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he came. He came with me for Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: So we had like the weekend together and it was
Speaker 1: such a nice weekend and we went to the park
Speaker 1: and then it was you know, and then I had
Speaker 1: a few shows I had to play. I had a
Speaker 1: show for Diamond Resorts, and then I was in Ohio
Speaker 1: and it was great. But then, like you know how
Speaker 1: again like when you spend time by yourself and then
Speaker 1: you get back with your husband and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: like this is we're back in this groove. And then
Speaker 1: but then we're back in our little box and nella,
Speaker 1: so it's just again it's like just getting back in
Speaker 1: like the rhythm of things. And then I'm like I
Speaker 1: felt myself like nitpicking, and I'm like, well, why isn't
Speaker 1: it like I don't know, I just like I just
Speaker 1: like came home. I think like, well, I know this
Speaker 1: is called the wine down. So I'm done. Why I
Speaker 1: just had to like put that out there. So sometimes
Speaker 1: I just I'm not getting the mood. Well, I want
Speaker 1: to go back to episode two when Mike came in
Speaker 1: and you guys really shared we did you really shared
Speaker 1: relationship stuff? I mean, you were an open book. I was.
Speaker 1: I was amazed, Well, what happened did you guys drive
Speaker 1: together that day? Because I want to know what was
Speaker 1: talked about in the drive home. I was honestly worried,
Speaker 1: like what was going to be said? And when we
Speaker 1: got out of it, he's like, that was so much fun.
Speaker 1: What I know. He's like, I had the best time.
Speaker 1: He's like, he goes, there's something so empowering about being
Speaker 1: behind the mike and having you know. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: does it suck to be the person that's the person
Speaker 1: that caused harm and pain for someone? Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: difficult and it sucks that it's out there. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, he goes for the first time because
Speaker 1: we've always had a major debate because I've always wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about the infidelity because I'm like, it's already
Speaker 1: out there, so it's like, why are you trying to
Speaker 1: pretend like it's not there and that you didn't cheat
Speaker 1: on me, you know, so it's like, let's talk about it,
Speaker 1: let's help other people. And I don't think he didn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's never gotten that until he came
Speaker 1: on the show, because he realized. He's like, wow, like
Speaker 1: you can help people, and you can share your experiences
Speaker 1: and and you know, help people get through things. And
Speaker 1: I've also shared a bunch of Instagram stories that people
Speaker 1: have dm me and just saying like like thank you
Speaker 1: for you know, sharing your story, and you know, I
Speaker 1: let my husband listen to it, and you know, because
Speaker 1: my husband isn't as um, you know, he doesn't he's
Speaker 1: not what Mike was doing. He's not listening to my
Speaker 1: feelings and he's defensive. So it's we were able to
Speaker 1: help some people. So that's that's awesome. Do you think
Speaker 1: that that empowered him? Yeah. I think he was like
Speaker 1: super excited about and he had kind of talked about
Speaker 1: speaking out about infidelity, especially with like football and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, but it needs to be his time. But
Speaker 1: I think stuff like this is getting him like Okay,
Speaker 1: like I I can talk about it in a positive
Speaker 1: way because I'm like, look, dude, I don't want to
Speaker 1: go back through all the stuff and say everything you did,
Speaker 1: because that's hard for me, that's triggering. But if we
Speaker 1: can say, yes, you cheated, Yes these things happened, but
Speaker 1: this is how we're working on things. This is how
Speaker 1: we're fixing the problem. And again, you know, it's not easy,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, there are some things that it's
Speaker 1: hard to go back in time and relive. But it's
Speaker 1: just I want to be able to give back and
Speaker 1: help people. And the amount of messages that I've gotten
Speaker 1: with people saying like thank you for doing this, and
Speaker 1: I honestly want to say thank you for sharing your
Speaker 1: stories with me because I don't feel as alone, like
Speaker 1: they don't feel as alone, but I'm like selfishly, one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why I'm sharing so much is because
Speaker 1: I don't want to feel alone. I don't want to
Speaker 1: feel like I'm the only woman that feels this way
Speaker 1: or has been hurt or cheated on, or has triggers
Speaker 1: or depression or you know, I mean, I have major,
Speaker 1: you know, insecurity issues about how I look and you know,
Speaker 1: why did you pick her and not me? And why
Speaker 1: don't I look like that? So it's like there's so
Speaker 1: many things that go with it that I'm like, I
Speaker 1: want to be able to share so that I don't
Speaker 1: feel alone too. So you sharing other people because they're
Speaker 1: resonating with you, and then I feel that way too,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, like thank you And I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: thank you, like because you're you're sharing your stores with me,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you feel that way too, like you're
Speaker 1: you get upset to like I'm not the only crazy
Speaker 1: wife that is yelled at my husband or you know,
Speaker 1: gone off one day, or do you feel like you're
Speaker 1: getting validation, like your feelings are actually valid. I just
Speaker 1: feel comforted. Yeah, I feel like there's an army of
Speaker 1: wind down listeners that get us, that get me, that
Speaker 1: get you, that get like what we're going through, and
Speaker 1: you know that we can be like a safe place
Speaker 1: to be able to share and say like, hey, this
Speaker 1: is what worked for me. You know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's gonna work for you. Like this one girl
Speaker 1: reached out to me last night and she's like, what
Speaker 1: do I do? And I'm like it's so hard. I'm like,
Speaker 1: but this is what I did, this is what helped me.
Speaker 1: And if you guys are both working, you know, like
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But it's like this is also away
Speaker 1: from me to like also realize too with the work
Speaker 1: two years down the road, there are things that have improved,
Speaker 1: so I can look back and be like, God, I
Speaker 1: know how crappy that feeling is right now, and you
Speaker 1: grew through it. There is like some silver lining through
Speaker 1: the hardships. And has anybody reached out with any date
Speaker 1: night ideas? Oh my gosh. So yeah, someone said, I
Speaker 1: like the popsicle stick one, so either you put it
Speaker 1: in a jar and you just pull out a popsicle stick.
Speaker 1: So I'm exciting our anniversaries tomorrow it is, yeah, three years.
Speaker 1: Well he has to work, but um I planned a
Speaker 1: weekend day for us on Saturday. So I'm really excited
Speaker 1: about that. So I'll share that on but yeah, no,
Speaker 1: so I am pumped about that. Um so yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: Will that be the first that will be the first
Speaker 1: date night? Yeah, And I've kind of curated it, and um,
Speaker 1: he planned last year, so we kind of we alternate anniversary,
Speaker 1: Like who plans it? That's nice? Yeah, so and but
Speaker 1: again it's like the anniversary is triggering, so I have
Speaker 1: to like be present and do you plan on being intimate.
Speaker 1: Is that like the agenda? I hope so, But I
Speaker 1: feel like whenever I like, I want to and then
Speaker 1: if he isn't, then I get let down and then
Speaker 1: we get a fight, and then I'm like, oh, why
Speaker 1: don't you want to sleep with me? You want to
Speaker 1: sleep with X, Y and Z. Why not? So it's
Speaker 1: like it's I have to like just let the mood
Speaker 1: take the But sure, I'm an ed love that. I mean,
Speaker 1: are you concerned because there's the extra pressure because I know,
Speaker 1: and that's what one of the things like he always
Speaker 1: has a hard time with because he feels the pressure.
Speaker 1: But I don't, like, why should there be pressure on intimacy.
Speaker 1: It's like two people love each other, they should have
Speaker 1: sex and touch each other and kiss. But issues he does,
Speaker 1: I know, but he's struggling with something else. Of course
Speaker 1: it is. That's why you guys are working on it,
Speaker 1: because you're not in the same place when the all
Speaker 1: time you had sex since you're getting divorced. Oh for
Speaker 1: hour ago, we need to find you a man to
Speaker 1: just go to town. You're kidding, kidding, Okay, do we

Speaker 1: a lot of people because some people want to have

Speaker 1: I don't want to, and then there's a lot of
Speaker 1: well everybody a different appetite. And we have an expert.

Speaker 1: you guys, Episode four is going to be a really
Speaker 1: good one. And I'm excited that you guys wanted us
Speaker 1: to talk about sex intimacy because that's something that is
Speaker 1: a huge problem marriage, not just marriage. You know, I've
Speaker 1: had some relationships to where it's just it's been one
Speaker 1: sided or not. It's it's very interesting, like the dynamics
Speaker 1: of sex. So we'll talk about that little about it. Well,
Speaker 1: it's so weird because I was in a relationship for
Speaker 1: almost how long are we married for again? Almost seventeen years?
Speaker 1: When did then? When did the sex stop? Oh? Boy?
Speaker 1: I mean we're probably having sex once a year after
Speaker 1: I had my son, so probably seven six years ago.
Speaker 1: M yeah, because of you or him? Me. Oh, you
Speaker 1: just don't like sex. No I do. I just didn't.
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to him in that situation. I
Speaker 1: feel like you're just so much better because you are
Speaker 1: just you know exactly what you do want not you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like you're like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to be in that relationship. But that's because I'm old.
Speaker 1: You're not old, so I mean older, I've had a
Speaker 1: tune of life experience, and there's no you don't. You
Speaker 1: don't want to waste your time when you know, when
Speaker 1: you know, you just have to. You have to move forward.
Speaker 1: You have to otherwise you die. Eastan, do you have

Speaker 1: like like perre a couple of times a week. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's normal. Yeah, like for young, young couple. I guess
Speaker 1: yeah maybe maybe I don't know, but I can't wait
Speaker 1: to find share share before we go to the episode, Well,

Speaker 1: she's got a really amazing blog. She's married to Carson Daily,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see how she balances mom life. Yes,
Speaker 1: oh and here she is. Hi. Okay, So how how
Speaker 1: do I how do I explain in like, if you like,
Speaker 1: how do I explain you? Because I was trying. I
Speaker 1: was talking about the book, but It's like I just
Speaker 1: feel like you know everything. So I just said, like,
Speaker 1: this is Shiva Rose who knows everything like holistic wellness
Speaker 1: UM learning how to be awake, learning how to feel
Speaker 1: hashtag woke but not. But I also feel like that's
Speaker 1: become too cliche. But yeah, but just like being your
Speaker 1: ultimate self? How did you get into this UM? Well?
Speaker 1: When I was are we are? We? Oh? Yeah? We are?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tell me everything. When I was twenty six,
Speaker 1: I was dying. I had my first daughter and I
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with I was so exhausted I couldn't recover
Speaker 1: and I ended up going to a rheumatologist because a
Speaker 1: dermatologist saw something on my back and uh, they tested
Speaker 1: me and found out I had a rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,
Speaker 1: and sclurre derma and I had a year to the
Speaker 1: one doctors told me I had a year to live.
Speaker 1: So this was AIX and this sort of a catapulted.
Speaker 1: You just had your daughter. I just had my daughter
Speaker 1: and I wasn't recovering, and I was like, ah, this
Speaker 1: motherhood is how do people do it? Uh? And that
Speaker 1: sort of got me onto the path because, uh, when
Speaker 1: I was told that diagnosis, I have a really rebellious nature,
Speaker 1: and something in me was like, watch, I'm gonna turn
Speaker 1: that year into a hunter exactly. There's something in us,
Speaker 1: in US warriors that I was like, this isn't my story.
Speaker 1: And then a friend of mine recommended this holistic doctor
Speaker 1: and he told me he would get me on the
Speaker 1: path to healing within a year. And I didn't start
Speaker 1: feeling great for many years, and I went through ups
Speaker 1: and downs and roads and turns and this and that.
Speaker 1: But finally, I think in the last nine ten years,
Speaker 1: I've been feeling, you know, my optimal self. My hormones
Speaker 1: are level, my autoimmune conditions are in remission. And that's
Speaker 1: all because of the holistic approach. It's it's diet, it's
Speaker 1: uh products that you use. It's getting rid of all
Speaker 1: the toxic chemicals in your home. It's spirituality. It's a
Speaker 1: connection to nature. It's getting into touch with your goddess self.
Speaker 1: It's doing Yoni exercises. It's like it's so much, you know,
Speaker 1: I need you Just to come to my house for
Speaker 1: a month changed my way of life. And well, that's
Speaker 1: what this this book is truly about. Because I started
Speaker 1: a blog, so I was married to an actor. I
Speaker 1: was in the Hollywood work know about eight nine, nine,
Speaker 1: ten years ago, we got divorced. I'm sorry, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, but I think thank you reed no, but
Speaker 1: I have a partner now in Texas, Texas. I'm moving
Speaker 1: there in a year or two. Yes, so, uh, what
Speaker 1: what happened was ten years ago. You know, your life
Speaker 1: sometimes breaks apart, but it actually breaks open. It's all perspective.
Speaker 1: I understand you, yes, because if sometimes we don't know
Speaker 1: it at the time, when everything is crashing down around us,
Speaker 1: it's just a way of your of you going to
Speaker 1: the next level. It's like rebooting the computer. So I
Speaker 1: did not know that at the time. But ten years ago,
Speaker 1: when it crashed and all my auto immune flare ups
Speaker 1: were coming back, I had two daughters to raise. So
Speaker 1: I just went I said, you know what, I'm going
Speaker 1: back to zero. I'm gonna start. I'm going to get
Speaker 1: this house in nature. I'm gonna start growing my own food.
Speaker 1: I'm stopping to the acting. Even though I love acting,
Speaker 1: it wasn't fulfilling me. And I just started from ground zero,
Speaker 1: and I started my blog, The Local Rose, to sort
Speaker 1: of document this journey. And then the book is a
Speaker 1: culmination of that because there's so many things. It's not
Speaker 1: just recipes, it's not just a meditation. It's so many
Speaker 1: different things. It's a lifestyle. So what do you think,
Speaker 1: like someone that wants to start this approach, what what
Speaker 1: would be the first because to me, like right now
Speaker 1: I'm hearing all this sounds amazing, but I'm overwhelmed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh my god, i have to get rid of everything
Speaker 1: mouse And so what was like, what's the first step that, like,
Speaker 1: I would say, take three. Take take a moment in
Speaker 1: the morning when you're clear, and just tune into yourself.
Speaker 1: Sit down on a on a bare you know, rug
Speaker 1: some and just look out the window or just close
Speaker 1: your eyes and just tune into yourself. I would say
Speaker 1: it starts with that. It starts with connecting to that energy,
Speaker 1: that source energy, and whatever that source energy is for you.
Speaker 1: It could be God, it could be nature, it could
Speaker 1: be soul, it could be spirit um, whatever that is
Speaker 1: for you. It's like a little like buzzing, I don't
Speaker 1: I mean, you know something, it's just a little whisper,
Speaker 1: But it's connecting to that essence of spirit or soul,
Speaker 1: something bigger than us. And that's like the beginning, I think,
Speaker 1: and all these things can actually make it louder. And
Speaker 1: then how do you act on a them? Um? How
Speaker 1: do you act on it? Yeah? So like with so okay,
Speaker 1: like today I woke up and I'm like feeling a
Speaker 1: little depressed, Like what what changes? Like what route do
Speaker 1: you go to? Like a dress? Well, gratitude, which we've
Speaker 1: all heard is huge. That that's sort of like that
Speaker 1: does that every every day her gratitude because the gratitude
Speaker 1: really is like the entryway into that world. And then
Speaker 1: would you say like five things you're great? Like what
Speaker 1: what do you? Yeah? I mean I go through I'll
Speaker 1: go through the list. If I'm really low and I
Speaker 1: can't like get it, you know, together, to even connect
Speaker 1: to source, then I will start with just a gratitude list.
Speaker 1: Is that the first thing you do in the morning?
Speaker 1: I want to know what is the first thing you
Speaker 1: do when your eyes open? Thank you? Um. I have
Speaker 1: a skincare line which came to me in a meditation.
Speaker 1: So the first thing I do spray my face with
Speaker 1: my radiant rose water and then I go where do
Speaker 1: we get that up? It's like a super vidom for
Speaker 1: your skin. It really plumps you up. And um and
Speaker 1: then I go do a living tea. I drink that.
Speaker 1: So it's in the book. I'm I'm like a spiritual
Speaker 1: practice horse. So it depends how much time we have.
Speaker 1: We want your whole daily routine to the spiritual horse.
Speaker 1: I want to become one because I feel like, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I start my day looking at Instagram
Speaker 1: and it sucks the life out of me. I know,
Speaker 1: I know. It's the very first thing that I do,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, and then the second I'm on there,
Speaker 1: I find myself comparing myself to other people and I
Speaker 1: get the breast and I'm like, what am I doing?
Speaker 1: And it's and I'm doing it. I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: But it's systematic the way that it's formed with the
Speaker 1: dopamine hits. I mean, I'm I do it too, we
Speaker 1: do you, but I but I'm making it. Definitely you
Speaker 1: have you can't start the day that way because it
Speaker 1: is it's made to release and and get dopamine hits.
Speaker 1: It's that's what it is. Every time you get to
Speaker 1: like it's like a dopamine. It's a reaction and it
Speaker 1: depletes us. At the end of the day, it depletes
Speaker 1: the dopamine in our brands, the serotonin. So what we
Speaker 1: have to do is start bringing that in, especially as women.
Speaker 1: Women are made to receive, which is so crazy, but
Speaker 1: when I got this concept, I mean, we're we're vessels,
Speaker 1: we're receptible, so we're supposed to receive. So we can't
Speaker 1: give to our children, our family, or community, the world
Speaker 1: unless we're receiving. So first thing you have to do
Speaker 1: is receive energy in the morning. So what I would
Speaker 1: do is I meditate every morning, even if it's three minutes.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have a twelve year old at home,
Speaker 1: now animals, I have, you know, life, but I have
Speaker 1: to do that first thing before you get out of bed.
Speaker 1: I get out of bed and I drink this tea,
Speaker 1: special tea which is the vodka or later did you
Speaker 1: say it's called living tea and it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: meditative tea and then you just sit in silence and
Speaker 1: drink it and meditate. And I do that and then
Speaker 1: I do a Kundalini yoga. It's the recipe three minutes.
Speaker 1: So I mean, so you have your two kids at home,
Speaker 1: I mean, do you set an alarm because sometimes I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, yes, I look at my Instagram,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, all right, you know now I gotta
Speaker 1: go get Joli. So it's like, should I do you?
Speaker 1: Do you and make intentional time to like set an
Speaker 1: alarm to wake up earlier or did I wake up now?
Speaker 1: And rhythm with with you know, your spiritual calling but
Speaker 1: also just you know, you got into rhythm with the
Speaker 1: moon and the sun and all that. But you can
Speaker 1: you can, yes, set an alarm and go okay, then
Speaker 1: this is the ten minutes for myself before I get
Speaker 1: up mind. So you just have to practice doing it. Yes,
Speaker 1: And at first it's like anything at first, it might
Speaker 1: be it takes twenty one days to break a habit.
Speaker 1: I thought it was three twenty one days to really break,
Speaker 1: and then twenty another twenty one to set new. So
Speaker 1: forty days. If you do a forty day meditation, your
Speaker 1: life will change. Can I can I? Um? Have you
Speaker 1: be like my accountability person? Sure, I'll give you my number.
Speaker 1: You perfect because I need someone to keep me accountable.
Speaker 1: It's like a spiritual guide to be like because if not,
Speaker 1: I'll be like me. I know it's so easy for
Speaker 1: us to fall into that. What you know, what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on I know essential oils are huge, but
Speaker 1: how how much does that really like help with health
Speaker 1: and benefits. I love essential always because because it's like
Speaker 1: the ultimate high vibration of the plant, especially if we
Speaker 1: are trying to get plant medicine. I mean, such as rose.
Speaker 1: If you are feeling down, rose can really lift you up.
Speaker 1: It's the queen of all flowers that's been measured to
Speaker 1: have the highest vibrational uh vibrant vibrancy of the plant.
Speaker 1: And you really do smell it, and factually and scientifically
Speaker 1: it will open your heart, heal your heart, open those
Speaker 1: receptors in your brain. I mean it is, it is
Speaker 1: all proven. I make things from my home to clean
Speaker 1: my house with essential oils, so when you smell that,
Speaker 1: it can definitely change. I mean it's such a huge
Speaker 1: direct link. Are there any essential oils for sex with
Speaker 1: my husband? You know what I mean? Okay? It all
Speaker 1: comes down with with how you feel about you, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's all about that. And I
Speaker 1: am fascinated by the men and women, the polarities. So
Speaker 1: you you just have to get him to be in
Speaker 1: his masculine and you be in your feminine and that's
Speaker 1: like and how you do that is by is by
Speaker 1: being loving to loving, like like just love loving, and
Speaker 1: then that will turn and then it'll mirror and then
Speaker 1: it will feed you. It'll feed you because men are
Speaker 1: like I mean, it's it's so fascinating to me right now,
Speaker 1: especially now that I'm in this relationship, just like the
Speaker 1: polarities like the more you feed their masculine where they
Speaker 1: feed you're feminine. And you know this is all like
Speaker 1: time we're living right now. But I mean, like we like,
Speaker 1: I I feel like we need to go back to
Speaker 1: some of the roles that like, you know, like like
Speaker 1: my guy's a cowboy in Texas, Like this is the
Speaker 1: hell yeah right, your guys a cowboy? How is he
Speaker 1: responding to? Like crystals? And that's very open because I
Speaker 1: think if a man is okay with his masculinity, he
Speaker 1: can be he can like be okay with all that
Speaker 1: he's like, Hi, baby, was that Over the weekend? I
Speaker 1: have a male friend that I felt like, how like,
Speaker 1: so I went to the crystal store because I'm very
Speaker 1: much into crystals. I don't get the crystals. You'll have
Speaker 1: to take plan to make smart. Girlfriend. Joey's obsessed and
Speaker 1: like really, like you're just like waving around this crystal
Speaker 1: that made my face. My sister rose Quartz crystals and
Speaker 1: she met the guy that she married but later yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: but anyway, so you went to the guy's house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I bought these the black yes, and I
Speaker 1: put them in all four corners of this and I
Speaker 1: was like, he's we didn't think I'm not. You're the
Speaker 1: girl on how to Lose a Guy in ten days
Speaker 1: placing Listen. I think men, if they if they are
Speaker 1: in their masculine, they can trust that you're in your
Speaker 1: feminine and you know you have wisdom, wisdom to bring
Speaker 1: to him. I mean at first, he's are they are
Speaker 1: open to that? I mean that guy is a total
Speaker 1: alpha dude and he's a real man. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: into it and he has crystals in his chick explain
Speaker 1: he's a musician. Actually his name is Dan Dyer for her,
Speaker 1: and he's the most amazing musician. Love the plug. So yeah,
Speaker 1: because he's not really a cowboy, he just the cowboys song.
Speaker 1: So why convinced me in a minute, why I need
Speaker 1: to get a crystal in my house? I would say,
Speaker 1: get a crystal in your yoni like do my vagina? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like yoni egg time start over crystals and I do.
Speaker 1: I have a whole chapter on that, which is you know,
Speaker 1: an amazing It doesn't that hurt? No, it's it's made
Speaker 1: in the in the shape of an egg, and it's
Speaker 1: been women have been doing it for five thousand years.
Speaker 1: Said no, I know where have they been doing Because
Speaker 1: you were talking about the issue with your with your
Speaker 1: husband earlier. So this is a way where you activate
Speaker 1: your sexuality, your femininity, you get I like to this.
Speaker 1: You won't need to if you use if you use
Speaker 1: a yonig crystal, which they've been doing in China for
Speaker 1: five thousand years. The concubine started it to to please
Speaker 1: the emperor and then they realize that it's giving them
Speaker 1: all this magnetic Okay, magnetic. So maybe I'm not there
Speaker 1: yet to putting things. But like what about like can
Speaker 1: I can I start with the house? Yes, you can
Speaker 1: start with that, but what is that going to do? Okay?
Speaker 1: But this is what I like to say with a
Speaker 1: yoni egg. Okay, it says that you don't need vagina. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was kidding. It means sacred space. It means sacred
Speaker 1: space and sanscrit So this is the thing. Uh a
Speaker 1: yoni isn't just to carry a child, It's not just
Speaker 1: to have sex with. And this is what we don't
Speaker 1: know here in the West. It's like having a beautiful
Speaker 1: house with a beautiful empty room and you're not using it.
Speaker 1: So when you start realizing the energy you hold in there,
Speaker 1: all of women's desires, their discipline, their will is controlled
Speaker 1: by that chakra. So if that is not activated, if
Speaker 1: it's not strengthened, then you know your will leaks. It's
Speaker 1: like a leaking definitely. You have kids, well there you go,
Speaker 1: especially after you have a kids. So that's why it's
Speaker 1: like important to get that strengthened in so many ways.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, your listeners feeling, they love it. I
Speaker 1: live in my own reality so much so that I
Speaker 1: your fantastic. So where do we find you at um?
Speaker 1: I met Local Rose on Instagram, the Local Rose and
Speaker 1: Shiva Rose Beauty, which is my beauty products. So we
Speaker 1: can get the stuff where we get it. I sell
Speaker 1: it on my shop because it has to be certified.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You don't want to just type it
Speaker 1: in the computer because you don't want random you want
Speaker 1: you want a fight, No neo fright. Jade is a
Speaker 1: kind of jade that's not porous, and it's been used
Speaker 1: for thousands of years. So you can go to my
Speaker 1: site and then I have and if you don't want
Speaker 1: to use me, you don't have to. I don't want
Speaker 1: you know that, I can send you to people who
Speaker 1: do it too, because I want I think allating. So
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to read this book. Thank you. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad you have it, so excited. It's called Whole Beauty.
Speaker 1: I want to know more about your daily routine, and
Speaker 1: I also want to know how and what kind of
Speaker 1: ritual you do before bedtime. Oh okay, well this is
Speaker 1: this is a good question because I think women can
Speaker 1: do this everywhere we we have. I mean, just like
Speaker 1: you take a shower and wash your hair. Your hair
Speaker 1: gets dirty, right, your skin gets sturty from just living well,
Speaker 1: so does your spirit. Your spirit takes on things just
Speaker 1: because we can't see it. It's like I like to imagine,
Speaker 1: you know, thousands or hundreds of years ago, they didn't
Speaker 1: see bacteria, so they didn't believe it. They would operate
Speaker 1: on people without an you know, an aseptic, so it's
Speaker 1: the same thing with our spirit or energy are sold.
Speaker 1: We like start collecting things. So one way to get
Speaker 1: rid of this. I love to take baths. Love to
Speaker 1: take baths in um, a good bath. And this is
Speaker 1: like it doesn't cost you anything. It's it's you know,
Speaker 1: what do you put in your bath? I mean, well
Speaker 1: I do, Okay, this is where it gets a little
Speaker 1: too high high bib. But the water has to be good.
Speaker 1: So you know, I have a filtration system on my house.
Speaker 1: So if you can get nice, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: want to. I have great l a water. So that's
Speaker 1: the only caveat is like, hopefully you have good water.
Speaker 1: Um and if not, then you can buy a hot
Speaker 1: that you can buy a hacket with cris um as
Speaker 1: salt with him Alayan salt and Himalayan salt is wonderful.
Speaker 1: Light candles. If put a crystal in the bath. If
Speaker 1: you're trying to bring in love, put in rose courts.
Speaker 1: If you want to say, oh sure, whatever's gonna make
Speaker 1: you feel you know what I mean. That's the thing,
Speaker 1: like I don't want. The thing in the wellness world
Speaker 1: that is becoming a problem is now people are like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't eat pasta. I can't have wine.
Speaker 1: I can't. You know, that's the other side. Could never
Speaker 1: do that if someone told me that wine pasta course.
Speaker 1: I mean, I go to Texas and I would like
Speaker 1: wine and eating steak. I'm like happy as a clam.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like you have to live your life too.
Speaker 1: You can't be some monastic monk living in some you know,
Speaker 1: some way where you're not enjoying your life. You've got
Speaker 1: to enjoy life. That's about being juicy, that's about being alive,
Speaker 1: that's about being you know, in your goddess element is
Speaker 1: about enjoyment. So yes, baths, I would do black termaline
Speaker 1: if you're getting rid of negativity for the day. Lemon
Speaker 1: grass is a great essential oil you can drop. You know,
Speaker 1: you can mix it first. Don't put it purely in
Speaker 1: the in the water because it can burn. So I
Speaker 1: have like a scrub that you can do with lemon ground.
Speaker 1: Like there's things you can do in the bath, ritual,
Speaker 1: light a candle, put a mantra on, and then it's
Speaker 1: all about like filling yourself back up, releasing in the bath.
Speaker 1: And then when you're putting the body oils on. Just
Speaker 1: imagine you're anointing yourself and you're filling yourself back up
Speaker 1: and put the phone away. Well, that's what happens. Our
Speaker 1: brains get this. Get into nature, I go. I try
Speaker 1: to walk every day with my dog and I don't
Speaker 1: bring the phone. And yes there's mountain lions and there's
Speaker 1: you know, rattlesnakes right now, but you know what, the
Speaker 1: phone is probably more dangerous than all these elements. Just
Speaker 1: get into nature. My best ideas come to me. And
Speaker 1: that's when how this everything came to me from walking
Speaker 1: in my canyons without my phone. Because the E M F,
Speaker 1: you know, it affects your brain, so it's not just
Speaker 1: your imagination. It's like you're literally having a hard time
Speaker 1: to focus because the E m F radiation is so strong.
Speaker 1: Do you dream while sleeping? I do dream, yes, And
Speaker 1: that's a great way to get you know, journaling, writing
Speaker 1: your dreams down. If you can um listening to your dreams,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a wonderful thing to do too. So
Speaker 1: I got eaten by shark last night. So what is
Speaker 1: what defends if you're young? Because if you're young, Yanny,
Speaker 1: he would say that you're everything in your dream sweet,
Speaker 1: So you know defense, which which practice you're following? Well,
Speaker 1: I I absolutely adore. I think you're you're you're beautiful.
Speaker 1: I mean on outside, but it's stunning on the inside
Speaker 1: as well. So I'm just thank you for for shedding
Speaker 1: some light on the things that I know that I
Speaker 1: have to change in my life with getting more in
Speaker 1: tune and um things I need to get rid of
Speaker 1: on a more regular basis and just owning it. Yes,
Speaker 1: owning it because this is an exciting time. This is
Speaker 1: a very exciting time. And the Dolly Llama said, I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is accurate, but he said that
Speaker 1: the people who are going to save the planet where
Speaker 1: the women of the West. So I feel like we're
Speaker 1: a very strong time. And I don't mean in that
Speaker 1: like aggressive, like you know way. I'm saying like in
Speaker 1: a love, be kind, kind, informative getting the information out there,

Speaker 1: your liplo. You're rocking it. What's the color? Do you know?
Speaker 1: I like to do that when my kids aren't around.
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but when they're not around, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to wear a lipstick. You know what I
Speaker 1: love though, because I was stalking your Instagram, um and
Speaker 1: you're just you keep it really real and that's what. No,
Speaker 1: but that's what like, that's what I love because I've
Speaker 1: had this conversation with another friend and she's like, I
Speaker 1: just want to show like all the great stuff. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but as like a mom and me, I want to
Speaker 1: see like all of it. I want to see like
Speaker 1: the real real too. And that's what you. You really do,
Speaker 1: keep it honest and really where you have no makeup
Speaker 1: on I or you, then the next one you look beautiful.
Speaker 1: So it's like I love seeing that, right, It's balanced, right,
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes I wear lipstick, but most of the
Speaker 1: time I'm in all gray sweat, I haven't showered and yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you how long and things
Speaker 1: like that, but um no, I mean I really have showered.
Speaker 1: But dude, I get it. I went to the first
Speaker 1: time today have a shower. Yeah. Yeah. Um. So you
Speaker 1: have three kids. I do, and we're married to Carson Dale.
Speaker 1: How is that being married to him? Were having the
Speaker 1: three kids or all of it? You know, like it's great.
Speaker 1: I were like in the thick of it, as they say,
Speaker 1: you know, my kids are nine, five, three. He has
Speaker 1: like twelve jobs, million jobs. How do you balance that?
Speaker 1: That's what was like my biggest question. Seems like so much,
Speaker 1: but really, like you know, he does the Today Show.
Speaker 1: He's home at ten o'clock from that, so he really
Speaker 1: is like hands on and around and I feel like we're,
Speaker 1: you know, we're just doing the normal things like go
Speaker 1: into flag football and doing all the car pooling. And
Speaker 1: it's very kind of I mean, there are the times
Speaker 1: when it's crazy back and forth and right now the
Speaker 1: voices live and so we live in New York and
Speaker 1: it's hard, but you know, we we balanced it pretty well.
Speaker 1: I think like we're you know, we're a big kind
Speaker 1: of just home family, Like we don't do anything boring
Speaker 1: living in New York. I do. I love it. I
Speaker 1: moved that four years ago. I'm from Minnesota. Oh nice, Um,
Speaker 1: and Carson was born and raised in California, so it
Speaker 1: was like totally new to us. But we love it,
Speaker 1: like we have a great community. Were close to the
Speaker 1: city and we get here enough so we get our
Speaker 1: you know, our fix of And how long were you
Speaker 1: guys married? Have you guys been married for? Well, we
Speaker 1: did everything backwards. So we had our first son, and
Speaker 1: then we had our our daughter, Eda, and then we
Speaker 1: got engaged, and then we had our third child, and
Speaker 1: then we got married. We've been married for like two
Speaker 1: and a half years, but we've been together for you know,
Speaker 1: why to go that role? Was it just something where
Speaker 1: you guys didn't really care about the marriage, Like we
Speaker 1: knew we were We knew that we were solid, and
Speaker 1: we weren't in a rush, and you know, you wanted
Speaker 1: We knew we wanted to get married eventually. You know,
Speaker 1: it was important to us and and I actually was
Speaker 1: so lovely because our our kids were there ceremony and
Speaker 1: we sympsised our parents like they We did it two
Speaker 1: days before Christmas and Um, two days before we got married.
Speaker 1: We had our mom's open like an early Christmas gift,
Speaker 1: and it was the invitation to the way it was
Speaker 1: just us. Oh my gosh, I mean that's what we
Speaker 1: had to surprise them because it was literally on our case. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Now how is it change actually being married now?
Speaker 1: Had did it change? Or are you still? Like? No?
Speaker 1: I mean that we always joked we did all the
Speaker 1: hard stuff first, you know what I mean? So now,
Speaker 1: um no, you know, like I just did all the
Speaker 1: whole name change stuff and that was really all that
Speaker 1: felt like different. I guess you know. Best advice for
Speaker 1: making it work, try to focus on each other first
Speaker 1: before your kids. That's like what we tried to do. Hard.
Speaker 1: It's so hard, right, Like you go on a date
Speaker 1: night and all you're doing is talking about like your
Speaker 1: daughter whatever it is. Stop stop stop stop. So but
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's just balanced and like trying
Speaker 1: to do like little things and for each other instead
Speaker 1: of you know, on a daily basis, like putting each other.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's so hard. We do, I mean
Speaker 1: we try. I mean we tried for a while. We
Speaker 1: were in a good groove of like maybe once every
Speaker 1: two weeks even like we'll go out for like date lunches,
Speaker 1: like anytime you can just like get away for like
Speaker 1: like go out for a beer, like just so that
Speaker 1: you can have some time away from your crazy children
Speaker 1: and be a couple. Yeah, exactly talk about each other
Speaker 1: and like like not you know, who's gonna take London
Speaker 1: to soccer? Like you know, just what's your biggest pet peeve.
Speaker 1: Parenting with him, Oh gosh, I feel like I'm always
Speaker 1: the bad guy. I'm like the nagging mom um. But
Speaker 1: I don't know so he you know, he's like fun dad,
Speaker 1: and so that's always hard. But because moms, your moms
Speaker 1: are I'm around, like in the mornings, you know, he's
Speaker 1: he's at work, and I have to be the one
Speaker 1: that's like do this, do this, and do this, do this.
Speaker 1: And you know, my son like moves through quicksands in
Speaker 1: the morning, and I have to Like he's nine years
Speaker 1: old and I'm like feeding him his cereal with like
Speaker 1: a spoon. So so I have to nag and like
Speaker 1: on those rare mornings when Carson is home, he's like, wow,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of negative energy. I'm like, because I
Speaker 1: have to, I have to be you know, so But no,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that we really do balance each
Speaker 1: other out. Well. He's like an amazing, amazing dad, and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have a ton of what do
Speaker 1: you guys fight about? Tell me that your relationship isn't perfect?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, is there a perfect relationship? Just like
Speaker 1: you always say. I'm like, oh, they just look I
Speaker 1: know perfect. I oh you see that? Like I like,
Speaker 1: I'm this is what I wonder about Chip and Joanna Gaines.
Speaker 1: I know we need to have them on there on
Speaker 1: here because I want to just be like, tell me,
Speaker 1: you guys are like not perfect, no, no, no, no
Speaker 1: one I know. But it's so funny the perception of like, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: like you have it everything and like you know you've
Speaker 1: got here's something he does. He like, thank you and
Speaker 1: everything bagel, and he starts to like he likes to like,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of maybe take some bread out of
Speaker 1: the bagel. And then he scraped some of the seeds off,
Speaker 1: which I don't know why because and everything bagel, you
Speaker 1: should want everything on it. And then the seeds are
Speaker 1: like everywhere and it's all and it's all over my
Speaker 1: clean dish where the clean dishes go, and then all
Speaker 1: the seeds and look at me, I'm like getting drink.
Speaker 1: I'm well, I'm also like a clean freak. He would
Speaker 1: probably that would be his complaint about me, where it's
Speaker 1: like let the seed, let the seeds fall down. It's okay,
Speaker 1: but it's not okay. You don't have a dog and
Speaker 1: I have. Who's better at new math? At what a
Speaker 1: new math? The common core? None of us? Well, actually
Speaker 1: I probably am because I was really like I liked
Speaker 1: math in high school. But but no. My son's nine,
Speaker 1: he's in third grade. He brings home his homework and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, but you could just do it this way. No, Mom,
Speaker 1: that's not the way I'm supposed to do it. I
Speaker 1: have to do it this way, and I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, but but this is the answer. Just do
Speaker 1: it this way. Right. So my kids are still I
Speaker 1: still count on my fingers, So yeah, there's they're so
Speaker 1: screwed with me. I would like, go talk to your dad.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, here's a calculator, yea here. Um,
Speaker 1: so you're a blog? Can you can you tell me
Speaker 1: about that? Because I think it's fascinating. But for the
Speaker 1: listeners that haven't, yes, Um, I write a blog called
Speaker 1: Seriously Delicious and I started it actually shortly after my
Speaker 1: first child was born. Because I missed before that I
Speaker 1: was in television. You have a very successful career. Well
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was a segment producing and
Speaker 1: I've missed that kind of like creative kind of I
Speaker 1: was doing kind of comedy writing and missed that, and
Speaker 1: I missed having like a voice and an outlet where
Speaker 1: I could, you know, engage with things other than my son.
Speaker 1: But also another purpose, another purpose. So I started this,
Speaker 1: this food blog, so there was there was that part
Speaker 1: of it, and then I also obviously wanted to kind
Speaker 1: of keep track of all these meals I was making suddenly,
Speaker 1: and um, food has always been a passion of mine,
Speaker 1: and I started, you know, I'm like, oh, now I
Speaker 1: have to keep these like this little human alive, and
Speaker 1: like I have to cook dinner every night and things
Speaker 1: like that. So it kind of just became a place
Speaker 1: for me to to to create recipes, to talk about them,
Speaker 1: to keep it again like real and just talk about
Speaker 1: life and and so I've been doing that for like
Speaker 1: eight years. And um, what's your favorite thing to make?
Speaker 1: People to bake? Baking is definitely is definitely my favorite
Speaker 1: because it's such a like calming process for me. So
Speaker 1: like just chocolate chip cookies on the Saturday or something,
Speaker 1: or I love to do like a big like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like a roast, like a stew and the
Speaker 1: something some comfort food. I'm very like comfort food, or
Speaker 1: I mean because I grew up in Minnesota and we
Speaker 1: just war it's like winter all the time and you
Speaker 1: just want Yeah, yes, is there one dish that Carson
Speaker 1: is always like, oh, please make this this one thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: we do a lot of um, like a roasted chicken
Speaker 1: and it's actually in my cookbook. And then we will
Speaker 1: shred the the chicken and will turn it into like
Speaker 1: a taco night. So like we roast the chicken, we
Speaker 1: shred it. Then we like roast garlic because actually, like
Speaker 1: roasted garlic in your tacos is delicious. And then we'll
Speaker 1: do cotilla cheese and cilantro and all the fixings and
Speaker 1: have like taco taco nights. So we do that a
Speaker 1: lot fun. Yeah, he loves that, and then the roasted
Speaker 1: chicken is just great on its own too. You don't
Speaker 1: you don't have to make a tacos. Did your kids
Speaker 1: naturally eat everything? Okay, So that's a great question because
Speaker 1: my daughter is going she's two and a half and
Speaker 1: she's going through an incredible phase where now she won't
Speaker 1: even eat macaroni and cheese, which is like the one
Speaker 1: thing that she would only And I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: and my doctor said, just start saying like it's either
Speaker 1: this or that, so give her an option or she
Speaker 1: doesn't eat. But the problem is now she's not eating.
Speaker 1: It's been like three a's and she will not eat dinner.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what, it's like she doesn't want to
Speaker 1: try anything. She doesn't want to try the chicken. She
Speaker 1: doesn't want to it's like she's just like no. My
Speaker 1: kids were all about the same age. They were about
Speaker 1: eighteen months old and they like just hit this switch
Speaker 1: where they decided, no, I don't like what I just
Speaker 1: ate yesterday. And I think it's exactly And so I mean,

Speaker 1: without the world views, I'm like, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the all of these things are. Ingredients, first of all,

Speaker 1: an ingredients and have to get it on like exactly,
Speaker 1: um the black market. I don't make you sift flour.
Speaker 1: It's all just very very approachable, and I add tips
Speaker 1: throughout the book, like, hey, if you don't have this,
Speaker 1: swap it with this, because I don't want My thing
Speaker 1: is like recipes shouldn't be You should just trust your gut.
Speaker 1: You should be like, Okay, well I don't have that,
Speaker 1: but I can use that and it'll still be good,
Speaker 1: or I'll try that, or you know this is this
Speaker 1: is my my don't take it so seriously, ladies, and
Speaker 1: thank thank you. Um are you eating m far? Are
Speaker 1: you eating a sandwich? Where did you get that? To
Speaker 1: describe it? Okay, I'm like in orgasmic heven right now,
Speaker 1: I know I can tell um. Let me tell you this, okay.
Speaker 1: Chef Michael Parolo is bringing his famed Italian sandwich shop,
Speaker 1: Parolo's Panino, from Miami to the heart of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Did you know that it's well, you know what I
Speaker 1: ate before you got here. I saw the box out
Speaker 1: there and I opened it and there was this beautiful
Speaker 1: head of butter lettuce with the most amazing balsamic dressing
Speaker 1: and I devoured it because it is my favorite thing.
Speaker 1: And there aren't very many restaurants that serve butter lettuce,
Speaker 1: and he'd us, but he also serves these amazing sandwiches
Speaker 1: that you're eating. Well, I just grabbed it from out here,
Speaker 1: So where does everybody else go and get it? Well?
Speaker 1: Hold on, it's Italian American traditions and combine bold authentic
Speaker 1: ingredients including homade, meatballs, and house roasted Italian beef and
Speaker 1: that's what you're eating the meat balls. The menu includes
Speaker 1: modern twists on classic favorites, such as the original Italian
Speaker 1: Depp only found at Parolos. How about that? Where's that?
Speaker 1: Tell me where I can go? Rose? There are eleven dollars.
Speaker 1: They're open from eleven to eleven PM between Gardner and Vista.
Speaker 1: So after the club go get you one and they
Speaker 1: deliver and they cat Wow, yeah, stop by and butter
Speaker 1: Lettuce being amazing. Butter Lettuce, if you a visiting, go
Speaker 1: down to Melrose. Can I stake at an email? Here? Um?
Speaker 1: I love your voice. So this is from Rachel and
Speaker 1: she's got an issue here. She's been dating her boyfriend
Speaker 1: for eight months now and he has a five year
Speaker 1: old son. They're great. She and the sun get along great,
Speaker 1: but when he misbehaves, the boyfriend refuses to discipline him
Speaker 1: and driving Rachel crazy and causing stress in the relationship.
Speaker 1: She feels like I could be his mom at some
Speaker 1: points that mom. Should I be able to discipline him
Speaker 1: myself or should I just let this go and get
Speaker 1: out of hand? Also, I get jealous of the boy's
Speaker 1: mother because of the connection they have that I can
Speaker 1: never have with him twofold issues. So start first with
Speaker 1: the discipline. All right, that's tough because if you're gonna
Speaker 1: be in this relationship, Um, I mean what she said,
Speaker 1: she's only three months in. Oh okay, I met three
Speaker 1: months away. Okay, yeah, she met three Okay, so you're
Speaker 1: eight months in. I mean I feel like at some
Speaker 1: point he's gonna have If you guys are really moving
Speaker 1: forward and this is going to be your husband fiance
Speaker 1: fiance and this is going to be your stepson, I
Speaker 1: feel like you need to sit down and talk to
Speaker 1: your boyfriend and be like, hey, like this is I'm
Speaker 1: not okay with this. I would sit down and talk
Speaker 1: with him. I you know, I am very open to
Speaker 1: being a single mom with a son. I am so
Speaker 1: open to my male friends who I'm very close with,
Speaker 1: or people that I hang out a lot with, or
Speaker 1: my special male friend. I always say, I am open
Speaker 1: to you disciplining Rocko verbally if he's doing something that
Speaker 1: is distracting that he's going to hurt himself or someone else,
Speaker 1: or is being inconsiderate and not a good citizen, because
Speaker 1: that is the most important thing. It takes an entire
Speaker 1: or not being a good citizen. Stop. I have said
Speaker 1: that before. Oh my gosh. But the thing is is
Speaker 1: that you know, you it takes it takes a whole
Speaker 1: village to raise a kid, and if you're spending time
Speaker 1: with a parent who was single with a child, you
Speaker 1: have to integrate into that and you need to be
Speaker 1: able to feel comfortable in keeping that child safe or
Speaker 1: keeping them from you know, acting out, and also holding
Speaker 1: your own sanity too. So I mean, the kids like
Speaker 1: screaming and the dad's not doing anything. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it can be very frustrated, but say like, you know,
Speaker 1: like hey, buddy, like stop calm down. You know, So
Speaker 1: I think that's totally acceptable. Um, but I think i'd
Speaker 1: have the conversation first with your boyfriend. And the second issue,
Speaker 1: I mean, girl, look that is that's our son. And
Speaker 1: but here's here's what you can have because you know,
Speaker 1: she's just as jealous, and you know, if I was
Speaker 1: in the situation, I would be just as jealous of
Speaker 1: you having a you know, the relationship. But here's the
Speaker 1: here's what the great thing is is you're now able
Speaker 1: to have a different kind of relationship with him. You're
Speaker 1: able to mold a something different from his mom, and
Speaker 1: have a your own connection. So have your own connection,
Speaker 1: because they're going to have their own too. Absolutely, that's fun.
Speaker 1: You can't change that, and you have to respect that.
Speaker 1: And you know it's only going to make him a
Speaker 1: better person as he grows up with that, having that
Speaker 1: close relationships and and yeah, and find something else that
Speaker 1: maybe the mom. You know that you do something different
Speaker 1: with the mom, so then he can see a different
Speaker 1: version and you guys can again mold a different relationship
Speaker 1: because that will be then special in its own end. Today, Absolutely,
Speaker 1: let's talk about next week because some of these questions
Speaker 1: have to do with the bedroom, and that's going to
