Same. 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: It's so hard to remember to do right. 27 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 2: It's really hard, especially when you stay up at night 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: eating eight s'mores alone. Ere's gonna be pissed when she 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: finds out there's no more chocolate left, and then I've 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: eaten all of her marshmallows and Graham crackers. There are 31 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: still gram crackers, but yeah, I ate s'mores. I woke 32 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: up this morning and I felt like, shit it you 33 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: always do this. I literally was like, why do I 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: feel hungover? I was like, sugar sugar hungover. Oh no, dear, 35 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 2: that's been during the moment. You couldn't have asked me 36 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: to stop like I would have cursed you out. It 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: was fucking amazing. It's more to the ship, extra crispy. 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: Melt the chocolate before I put the chocolate either the 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: microwave or pot. This is just a life hack. Melt 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: it before. Don't try to melt the chocolate with I 41 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: don't like they hate when the chocolate is hard. 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: It's because the boiling temperatures for both are different. 43 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: Different. You gotta like the chocolate's gotta melt longer. Yeah, 44 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: And I've tried to like make my own technique where 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: like I cut a stuff, I tell you that it 46 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: falls out every time, it just doesn't do it. And 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: so what I do is I just take one extra step, 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: melt the chocolate, glaze it all over, grind cracker, and 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: then I make it extra crispy. Okay, I'm really passionate 50 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: about this. It was really good, That's all I know. 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 2: But I hope it was worth your hand.

And I was I was 342 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: having these thoughts recently too, like this exact thing. I 343 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: was like judging myself about something and I was talking 344 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: myself out of the judgment, like this is a lesson. 345 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: It's more of a like reflect on how you feel. 346 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: But then I got high and then I had this 347 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: like deep hime thought and I was like telling Orlando, 348 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, what if we what if the journey is 349 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: not like linear, it's not vertical, it doesn't like start 350 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: here and stop here? 351 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: Right? 352 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: What if the journey? What if we imagine the journey 353 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: to be a spear shape like the earth? 354 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: Right? 355 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: So, cause it started because I was like, oh, yeah, 356 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: because I'm grown and I don't make those decisions anymore. 357 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: And then I was and He's like, or you do, 358 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: and we laughed, and I was like and then I 359 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: got deep in my head, and I was like, yeah, 360 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: what if we stopped thinking of the journey starting A 361 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: and ending at B, but we started thinking of the 362 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: journey of the shape of the world world, right, and like, 363 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: maybe you're from a small town, but then you're going 364 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: to go to Greece and have that experience, and maybe 365 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: you might pop back in to your small town and 366 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: you'll be like, ah, that's cool, I don't really like 367 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: it here. And then you go to Africa and then 368 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: you'll come back. And I was like, but we're never 369 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: judging ourselves about the places we go back to visit, right, 370 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: because we're just visiting it, and maybe we'll never go back, 371 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: maybe only the places one time. I'm like, but as 372 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: we travel this in this shape of the world, then 373 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: the judgment I was like in my mind, I was like, 374 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: this is so smart. I am a fucking analyst. I'm 375 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: a fucking philosopher. And he was like, yeah, I always 376 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: say that, babe. I was like, okay, but you don't 377 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: get this philosophy like when you look at it like that. 378 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: In my mind, when it's round, it's better like I 379 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: haven't gone back, I've just gone a different place. So 380 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: I hope everybody understands that visual and it helps you 381 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: not judge yourself, because it's helped me thinking of my 382 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: journey round and not straight. 383 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: What are some of the ways in which like that 384 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: affirmation has come up for you? 385 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, just the other day, I was like on 386 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: the phone crying to my mom because I just was like, 387 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: my life is like not what I want and I'm 388 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: the one who did it, Like I made these decisions 389 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 3: and now they've got me here, and like I wish 390 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: I had a time machine, you know all that, and 391 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 3: I just had to be like, I don't and this 392 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 3: is where I am. So what am I gonna do 393 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: about it? Like am I gonna beat myself up over it? 394 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 3: Or am I gonna move through it? And there are 395 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 3: some things that I have control over and can change, 396 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: and there are some things that I can't, and I 397 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: just have to accept it and move forward. 398 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: And also kind of finding trying to find the silver 399 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: lining and the joy and the things that you can't 400 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: change or like the things that you've judged yourself about, right, 401 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: because the judgment, you have to kind of think about 402 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: where in my mind have I made this thing bad? Yeah, 403 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: I was talking to my Homegirl today Capricorn, and she's 404 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: been doing some like ho shit in her mind, and 405 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: she was like the shit we prioritize on our show 406 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: ordering weed at the moment of videotaping, and anyway, she 407 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: was like, she was doing some things that I think 408 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 1: I know that she would traditionally judge someone about or 409 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: would traditionally be quick to be like, I would never 410 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: do that. I don't do that. And I was like, well, 411 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: did you enjoy it? And she was like, yeah, I 412 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I was like, girl, maybe this is your 413 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: season to be a houp. Yes. I was like, and 414 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: since it's your season, you might as well enjoy it. Yes. 415 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, sometimes you guys, like everything's not perfect, Like 416 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: and if you know you're a good person, you don't 417 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: really have to worry about it, right if you're just 418 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: an overall terrible human being and you want to see 419 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: people hurt. But if you're not hurting anyone, dude, what 420 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: the fuck you need to do? And like, whatever traditionally 421 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: is thought of as bad, I mean, welcome to good 422 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: mom's bad choices. Bitches. It may not be bad, It 423 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: actually may be bomb, and actually may be exactly what 424 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: you needed. 425 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 3: Or need mentioning why do we think things are good 426 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 3: or bad? Whose definitions are those who. 427 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: Set the tone for these decisions? 428 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 3: Right? 429 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 4: Right does not even align with what we want. 430 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: Exactly, And nothing's bad honestly, I mean obviously, like murder 431 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 1: is bad, war is bad, but rape is bad. But 432 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: I think like in the journey of life, there are 433 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: really no bad decisions because every single decision that you've made, 434 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know what decisions you were talking to 435 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: your mom about are actually what led you to this 436 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: moment to be like, I actually don't I'm not feeling this, 437 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: And had you not gone this route one turn differently, 438 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: you may not, you know, have come to this conclusion 439 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 1: this at this time, and it's exactly where you're supposed 440 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: to be. I love that, and I love that we 441 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: can have this conversation about not judging yourself. I think 442 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: me and Erica really wanted to talk about today accepting 443 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: yourself and loving yourself through your fuck ups because we're 444 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: going to fuck up and you know, probably daily, and 445 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: I think like getting stuck on the fuck ups is 446 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: what really fucks us up. You have to be able 447 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: to obviously be self aware and don't do the same 448 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: shit over and over and over and over and over 449 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: and over and then do or do but like but 450 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: then complain about it and bitch about it. And I'm 451 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: one of those people, like I'll do some shit five 452 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: times and then cry because I knew better, you know, 453 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: but and it takes people longer, but eventually you're gonna 454 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: stop doing the shit that you said you didn't want 455 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: to do. So I think it's a very important lesson, 456 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: especially for women, especially for moms, to chill out on 457 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: yourself and like forgive yourself like you'd forgive your toddler. 458 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that if you're not a mom, though, 459 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: the reparenting yourself conversation almost feels a little bit more 460 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 2: difficult because I mean, I knew you as someone who's 461 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: not a parent, like you haven't had to give a 462 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: child that grace almost and that unconditional love yet. And 463 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: so if you don't have, like I guess, like a 464 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: blueprint to like, what does unconditional love feel like? Besides 465 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: like my parent, like the one that my parent like, 466 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: it's almost harder almost. I see the challenges on both sides, 467 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: Like I see like it's really hard for parents to 468 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: give themselves grace because like they have this responsibility of 469 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 2: taking care of this kid and there's so much pressure 470 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: to rise to the occasion. And then on the other side, 471 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: it's like, but you have this person that you love unconditionally, 472 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: and you're like, wow, I now really understand the idea 473 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 2: of unconditional love because like you are like a man 474 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: of festation of that, whereas like if you don't have 475 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 2: a child, you don't really know exactly not. I don't 476 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: want to say everyone feels this way. I'm please interrupt 477 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, because I've had a child now 478 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: for seven years. But I know before I had a child, 479 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: it would be really difficult for me to reparent myself. 480 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: It would be really difficult for me to give myself 481 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 2: this grace that I might give myself now. Honestly, I 482 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: think having my daughter has made me really more aware 483 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: of how important it is. And I think back on, 484 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: like before I had a child, when I was also 485 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: in my early twenties, how hard I was on myself 486 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 2: all the fucking time. I read my diary entries and 487 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: from my past, I'm like, you were so mean to yourself, 488 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: like all the time. Every year me and me Al 489 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: are writing this book and so I guess every year, 490 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: I always write on New Year's Every New Year's I 491 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 2: was such a bitch to myself, like I didn't accomplish 492 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: any of the goals I want to do. But this year, 493 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: I swear I'm going to do it. I'm going to 494 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: get my shit together. I swear to God, this is 495 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: going to be the year of like I'm not going 496 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: to fuck up anymore. And it's like, yeah, I had 497 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: no like I guess foundation on how to do that. 498 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 2: So I guess my question for you is how do 499 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 2: you do that? Like, what are some of the ways. 500 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, I know we're all we're all speaking 501 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: from a work in progress place, but like, what are 502 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: some of the ways that you do give yourself grace? 503 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 2: What are some of the ways that like you have 504 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: that conversation with your mom and you kind of like 505 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: have to accept it and move forward, but like it's 506 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 2: that's easier than done. Oh totally, you know. 507 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: I mean, what's been helpful for me and I'm going 508 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: through this like real time, right, So what's been helpful 509 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 3: for me is also letting myself feel it. I mean, 510 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 3: as earlier when I was like water scigns helped me 511 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 3: have feelings. I was joking, but also like not joking 512 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 3: because I'm not the most like emotional person. So even 513 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: talking to my mom and like letting her know what 514 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: was going on for me, and like crying to her. 515 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 3: I mean, in thirty two years, I could probably count 516 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 3: on one hand number of times. 517 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: In my life that I've done that. I was gonna 518 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 4: ask you about that. 519 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: I was like, that's so how beautiful you have a 520 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: relationship with your mom where you felt like you can 521 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: do that, because it's odd that people don't necessarily feel 522 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: that vulnerable with their parent to do that. 523 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know if I have had that 524 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: relationship and not because of her. 525 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 4: I think a lot of it has been because of me. 526 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 3: Because my mom is someone who is amazing, and she 527 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,479 Speaker 3: is very emotionally expressive, and so from a young age, 528 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 3: I felt this pressure to be a little bit more 529 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 3: stoic to kind of balance her out, and so I 530 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 3: started holding things in at a very young age until 531 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 3: I finally got to the point where now I'm like, 532 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: I can't anymore. I just need to let myself feel it. 533 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: And also not like I am an overall and pretty 534 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 3: positive person, but also sometimes it's not the time for 535 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 3: a silver lining. Sometimes you're just feeling it and you 536 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 3: want to feel what it is and let yourself cry 537 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: it out and then you can move on to the 538 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 3: silver lining. But if at the peak of you being upset, 539 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: someone is like that's the positive, it's. 540 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: Like, shut up. 541 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: I don't want to have that motherfucker positive. 542 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: I'm sad. 543 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 2: Text to me tomorrow about. 544 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: It sad, and then we can pretend to be happy tomorrow. 545 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 3: Right Let me be sad right now. And so I 546 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 3: think that's kind of where I'm at of just actually 547 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: letting myself feel the feelings Earth sign energy. 548 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 2: It's not good about that, you know though, Like speaking 549 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 2: of astrology and just like the agreements we make about 550 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 2: ourselves and our personalities, this is something that like I've 551 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 2: been confronting more and more. And we have this conversation 552 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: with this podcast called Around the Way Curls shout out 553 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: to Antoinette. 554 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: And Shanty Shaunty. 555 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's like she loaves Shanty my bad girl. 556 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 2: I was just saying, how most of my life I've 557 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: heard first of all, you tell some of your scorpio, the 558 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 2: immediate reaction is it's either oh my God, I love scorpios, 559 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 2: or it's. 560 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: Like, ooh, trauma. 561 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: But what I've heard is just like, oh, Erica's so serious, 562 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 2: or she's so so hard to read and so or 563 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 2: like she has this very big presence when she comes 564 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: to the room that's intimidating. And so some of these 565 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 2: things are compliments to me in ways, but some of 566 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 2: them are like things identities that I don't really want 567 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 2: to have, and I'm like, I don't like, yes, I 568 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 2: know that I can be serious. There is a serious 569 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: side to me, but there's also like a very large 570 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 2: playful side to me, and like, and I feel like 571 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: I've made these agreements about myself who I am emotionally 572 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: that I don't necessarily want to identify with anymore. And 573 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: same like with you, you saying that like you feel 574 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: like you're not emotional and that Earth signs can be 575 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: like unemotional, which I don't disagree with, but I think 576 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: that ultimately some of these things are choices, and some 577 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 2: of these things are these expectations that people have labeled 578 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: us with and that we carry, yeah, and they're not 579 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: even ours to carry. And then so then we navigate 580 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 2: through life in these ways like Okay, well, I'm gonna 581 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 2: put on my scorpio badge now. And don't get me wrong, 582 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: It's helped in ways for sure. Like I've you know, 583 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 2: had boundaries with people that I really didn't need to 584 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: get close to me. But then there's opportunities that I've 585 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: missed with people because of how they might have perceived 586 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: me or how I showed up because how I thought 587 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 2: they were perceiving me. And I just feel like one 588 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: of the big things that like I'm trying to work 589 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: on presently right now is like stripping those things away, 590 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: stripping some of these like scorpio scorpionic things away because 591 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: I feel like they don't serve me anymore. Yeah, you know, 592 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 2: so I encourage you to like really evaluate that part 593 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 2: of yourself and like ask yourself, am I not emotional? 594 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 2: Or am I just suppressing? Like do I suppress because 595 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: this is what people have told me I'm supposed to 596 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 2: do and show up this way, oh yeah, you. 597 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: Know, without giving yourself permission to actually like move in 598 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: a different way. And also I think for women especially, 599 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: I know we've been talking about the divine feminine a lot, 600 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: but showing up in your feminine and your femininity, you know, 601 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: and like not associating feelings with weakness because for a 602 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: long time that's how I felt, you know, or you know, 603 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: feelings with weakness and why I felt that way, you know, 604 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: and allowing yourself to feel it without judgment. And even 605 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's the astrology thing, Oh I'm a cancer, 606 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: I want to be hyper sensitive or I'm this. It's 607 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: even with things people and friends have told you, even 608 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: people who are very close to you, you know. Like 609 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: I was, I was saying something to somebody the other 610 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: day and I was like, you know, because I'm wild 611 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: and da da da dah. And in my mind, I 612 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 1: would told myself, like, stop saying that. 613 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 2: Why'd you say that? 614 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Who told you that that? You're 615 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: repeating that? Because then you're repeating that behavior, you know 616 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: what I mean. And as women, we have the capacity 617 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: to be so many things, and it's not fair for us. 618 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: You know. 619 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: Obviously we all know ourselves, but we're all evolving and 620 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: the thirties, bitch, I'm evolving so fast. I'm not even 621 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: the same bitch I was last week. 622 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: Literally, we're like, our team is like we should just 623 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: pre record till Like may I said, Jamille was like bitch. 624 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 2: I might be a different person in May. I don't 625 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: know if we should record that right now, because in 626 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: May I might listen to this episode and be like, 627 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: who the fuck is that? And it's true. I mean, 628 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: obviously there's like foundational things about who we are that 629 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 2: are just core. But then there's things like I can 630 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: I'm open to changing my mind even about myself, even 631 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 2: about like these agreements that I've made about who I am. 632 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: And you can show up based on how you feel 633 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: that day, you know, like I don't feel fucking friendly today. 634 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: I don't have to because you think that I'm so friendly, 635 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, like I am, so I don't really have 636 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: to perform in a way that you know that I'm friendly, 637 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: but like just honoring that, like I don't feel like 638 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: doing that, and that's okay, Like it's okay to shift 639 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: in where you're at. And also even when you feel 640 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: yourself like rejecting some emotions. I tell people all the 641 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: time if I'm feeling like I need to be tougher 642 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: or I need to be this, or that, I'll channel 643 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: my friends that I feel like have those traits, Like damn, 644 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: what Erica did right now, Like don't say shit shut 645 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: the fuck up, you know, But like there's self reflection 646 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: is so such an interesting like introspection is such an 647 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: interesting like journey. It's like you can get lost in it, 648 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: you know. And it's just when I realize we're constantly 649 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: evaluating ourselves, I am, it's fucking nuts. I'm like, I 650 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: feel this. Why is it from your childhood? No? Are 651 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: you sad? Maybe? Why? I don't know? Feel it?

Yeah, 792 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 2: it's hard, especially when like if you have water, not 793 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 2: water to the bridge with that friend, but like you 794 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 2: might be holding your friend to a certain like expectation 795 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: of who they are and like not letting them grow either. 796 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 2: Because I always talk about how like people we really 797 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 2: like to like hold people hostage to like wherever they 798 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,439 Speaker 2: were even last year. 799 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: Yes, and when you people were, you said this last year, 800 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: So that's who you are now forever. I'm guilty of it. 801 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I think about how I think society does that, 802 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 2: especially with people in the public eye, like you know, 803 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 2: digging through tweets and saying like you said this shait 804 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 2: when you are fourteen, so you're racist. You know, it's 805 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 2: like gotta be racist now forever. And I want to 806 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 2: do away with that, even especially within you know, my friendships. 807 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: I'm guilty of that. I just stop completely listening to 808 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: Sabrina Claudio after I have found out she had racist tweets, 809 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: totally took her off the playlist. I miss her. I 810 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: wish she didn't tweet those things. 811 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 2: Well. Also, it's hard to know because we don't know Sabrina. 812 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: She might still be racist, right I'm joking and not joking, 813 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: But I also think the longer that you've had friends, 814 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: it's easy to do that both ways. Yeah, and for me, 815 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: I think I'm so emotional and attached and shit, my 816 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: defense mechanism is like, fuck them. I can hold a 817 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: grudge that cancer shit and what kind of crab shit 818 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,319 Speaker 1: I have going on. I can hold a grudge, and 819 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: it's really evaluating because I think when you do that, 820 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: we tend to do that to ourselves too. But it's 821 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 1: just like allowing people like, Okay, I have a lot 822 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: of friends.

Like I just geek out over 866 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 3: learning anything about health, anything about personal development, Like I 867 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,240 Speaker 3: just I can't get enough of it, and I love 868 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 3: being a student of it, like I love learning about it. 869 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 3: And I realized that a lot of the resources or 870 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 3: platforms for wellness information were really led and catered towards 871 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 3: white people, and so I would listen to it and 872 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 3: I'd be like, Okay, some of this information is relevant, 873 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 3: but most of it isn't. And I really wanted a 874 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 3: space where I could learn from black women who had 875 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 3: experiences that I felt like I could relate to, who 876 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 3: had wellness expertise that felt relevant to my life, and 877 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 3: I wanted to learn from them. And I felt like 878 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 3: the best way to do that was to create a 879 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: platform around it and share it. 880 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 881 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: Congratulations, you should come to the Good Vibe Retreat. 882 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 2: I would love to You should I think a lot 883 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 2: of people too, A lot of people think that the 884 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 2: good Vibe treat is for mothers, which it's not.

Yeah, there's 886 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 2: a lot of not moms. 887 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 888 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: And I mean first for women, you know, before we 889 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: had kids, we're just mom I mean, just shit, we're 890 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: just women, you know. 891 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, and that and that in itself as a 892 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 2: whole a lot for sure. 893 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,479 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I feel like that retreat our retreats made 894 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 1: me recognize the power we have as teacher and as student, yes, 895 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: and the power in the femininity, and that it's not 896 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: like I think the patriarchy makes us think that the 897 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: feminine is this like submissive. 898 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 2: Overly emotional, sensitive, impulsive sensitive, like needs to be guided 899 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: taken care of. 900 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: Cult right right, right, like a weakness. Yeah, but like 901 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: actually we're the ocean, you know, like, actually we're water. 902 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: Actually it could go both ways, because you don't want 903 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: to fuck with me either. I can be very strong 904 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: and very cold and all these things. But it's like 905 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: I never received that message so clear than being amongst 906 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: women I was learning from and also giving to like 907 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: that and just from podcasting talking to you know like 908 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I've come into my power in the 909 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: last like four years so much because I've had the 910 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: opportunity to exchange with so many women, which we didn't 911 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: start this. I don't think we were thinking as a 912 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: wellness brand. We weren't even thinking of a brand. We're 913 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: just like, let's talk. But like it is like authenticity, sisterhood, friendship, 914 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: genuine real friendship that like we can criticize, like constructive criticize, 915 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: except hold that is like that is what we're supposed 916 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,720 Speaker 1: to be doing, and that is how we thrive. 917 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 3: I think something else that I've learned too that's been 918 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 3: a shift in thinking for me is that when I 919 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 3: first started getting interested in wellness, interested in content, all 920 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 3: of those things, it was very much about me. It 921 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 3: was very much about what I was eating, what workouts 922 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 3: I was doing, how I felt about my body, which 923 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 3: is like a whole that's a podcast episode and of itself. 924 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 2: But how do you feel about your book? 925 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you feel about I feel good about 926 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 3: it now, But I'm saying when I was twenty and 927 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 3: started all this, I didn't. I now I feel great 928 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 3: at least for now. It's always changing, but I know 929 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 3: it's a journey all exactly. But what I've learned, and 930 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 3: especially through podcasting and over the last few years, is 931 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 3: just that care and well being doesn't happen individually. It 932 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 3: really does happen collectively. M And it's so like me 933 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 3: being well a lot and matter if you're not well, 934 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 3: and if you're not, like we all need to be 935 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 3: well together, yeah, in order and to support each other. 936 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 2: And yeah, wow, I never looked at it that way. 937 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 2: I was just having this conversation with my friend yesterday, 938 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 2: I shout out to Ashley. She we were talking about 939 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: how I was just saying, how like a lot of 940 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 2: the things that I do and work that work are 941 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 2: because like I want to try them because like they're 942 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 2: part of like I don't feel well. Maybe this will 943 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 2: make me feel better, and maybe it'll make you feel better. 944 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 2: Let's find out together. And when you come from it 945 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 2: almost sounds selfish because it's like I don't want to 946 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 2: this alone, or like try it this way, this shit 947 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: might be better for you, bitch. But I think when 948 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 2: you come from a place of like I don't know, 949 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 2: just like your own guided intuition of like what your 950 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 2: spirit is calling you to do, you're inevitably going to 951 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,720 Speaker 2: tap into other people's spirits because we all are connected, 952 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 2: and especially women, especially men too, I don't want to 953 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 2: exclude them from the conversation either. I think that's another 954 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 2: thing that like kind of has come up to in 955 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 2: this work that I'm doing regarding like my femininity and 956 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 2: like how much of it excluded the man out of it, 957 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,720 Speaker 2: but also like taken from him in ways his masculinity, 958 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 2: for one, like really embodying what I think men do 959 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 2: to get shit done and not wanting them to do 960 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,479 Speaker 2: it around me, you know, like I can do this 961 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 2: thing that you do, but don't do that shit to me. 962 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 2: And it's like, what the fuck? How am I going 963 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 2: to invite in? First of all, how do I make 964 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 2: them feel not excluded from my life and the party, 965 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 2: but also like also analyzing the fact that I, like 966 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 2: why am I single, not because like there's something wrong 967 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 2: with me, but like, am I actually inviting anybody into 968 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,240 Speaker 2: my space in that way? Am I actually leaving space 969 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 2: for that? 970 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 3: You know? 971 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 2: And so I feel like, too, it's important for women, 972 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 2: like the women in this collective who are really doing 973 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 2: the work of like tapping into the femininity but also 974 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 2: not excluding humanity from the conversation, and men are included 975 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,399 Speaker 2: in that conversation. Yeah, you know. 976 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 1: Goes with the saying in order to heal the world, 977 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: you have to heal yourself. You know, like when you 978 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: start to want to raise your vibration in a way, 979 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: you're going to emit that. You know, you're going to 980 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: attract that, You're going to give that, and you're going 981 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: to love more because you're loving and accepting yourself more. 982 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: And like even in finding a mate and finding a lover, 983 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: exploring like what is it that I actually want? And 984 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: is it because I've been taught this? Or is it 985 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 1: because like I'm seeing you in a way and showing 986 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: you love in a capacity that like I would only 987 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: want to receive it, because sometimes I think we ask 988 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: for things without actually really actualizing what that means to 989 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: embody it all the way through. So when you have 990 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: a collective of people where you're on the same mindset 991 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: and on the same thing, like a when you receive it, 992 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's like from a gentle, real, true loving 993 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: place and vice versa, and it empowers you to continue 994 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 1: to do that walk through your life that way, and 995 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 1: it's true, like what are we doing like, are you 996 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 1: healing if you like, even if you're not publicly doing 997 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: like if in your everyday actions you're not trying to 998 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: embody someone else in it, you know, like how we're 999 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 1: going to leave the world if I can't like caring 1000 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: about your. 1001 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 2: Own health and your own shit and your own bank 1002 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 2: account and your own healing. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah. 1003 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 3: I've also realized the relationship in all forms, be it romantic, platonic, family, friends, whatever, 1004 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 3: are actually some of the greatest places for learning. I 1005 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 3: feel like through my relationships with other people and how 1006 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: I relate to other people is how I learn everything. 1007 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,240 Speaker 1: We learn ourselves as we relate to other people. Different 1008 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: versions of ourselves come out based on different people. Yeah, 1009 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: And it's necessary sometimes to meet certain people specifically for 1010 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: that lesson for you to grow. And sometimes we'll meet 1011 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,760 Speaker 1: people very similar because there's a lesson that you're supposed 1012 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: to evolve, and instead of looking at it that way, 1013 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: then you're looking at it as something else. You're hating it, 1014 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: Like I was this fucking guy I was dating. It 1015 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,320 Speaker 1: was hurting me, Like I've been hurt on the inside 1016 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 1: about it. And I told my therapist and I was 1017 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: like I had to stop I had to start looking 1018 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: at it differently because I was like, why the fuck 1019 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: do you see thinking about this scammer bitch? What the 1020 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 1: fuck is wrong with you? Literally I was like beating 1021 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: myself up for it, but it was because I wasn't 1022 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: looking at it correctly, like I. That was that lesson 1023 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: for me at that time. And the lesson in that 1024 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,359 Speaker 1: is like, why did I feel so connected and why 1025 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: I feel so hurt about it? And that is really 1026 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: why it's profound and something is pulling me to it 1027 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: because there's work that I need to do, you know 1028 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 1: what I mean. And so instead of looking at relationships 1029 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,280 Speaker 1: all of them that way, you know, like just people 1030 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: that you can dispose of or whatever, people who've hurt you. 1031 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 1: But a lot of times, all of that hurt, all 1032 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: that pain, the trauma that people cause you is so 1033 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: that you can evolve to be the person you're supposed 1034 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: to be. 1035 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 3: Yes, And our relationships are often mirrors in a lot 1036 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 3: of ways. And a lot of times where I've had 1037 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 3: a hard time with somebody or I didn't like something 1038 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 3: about somebody, I had to really think, like, actually, this 1039 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 3: person is reflecting something within myself that needs a little 1040 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 3: bit of addressing. 1041 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's very true. Actually, I'm thinking about 1042 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 2: someone specifically that I was like, I just had a persony. 1043 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 2: I was like, is that why he that Niga annoys me? 1044 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, because I do that shit, honestly, I don't 1045 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 2: want to have to deal with it because I want 1046 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 2: to be the only one that gets to do it. 1047 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 4: Oh I've been there, you know. 1048 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, I'm big on that lege. I 1049 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 1: don't want to date. 1050 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 2: I want to date that, but I get to do that. 1051 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: I can do that. You've stay in your line. Yeah, 1052 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: that's what. 1053 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 2: The fuck round there. Yeah, and in ways like I 1054 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 2: don't do that for sure, but then there's still those ways. 1055 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 2: And that's why this is life, and this is why 1056 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 2: we're all still the work in progress. No one's got 1057 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 2: it figured all the way outward. Like just I don't know, 1058 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 2: I feel like honing in on certain parts of us 1059 00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 2: throughout our journey in life. And I mean, I don't 1060 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 2: know if there's a ever like I show up and 1061 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 2: I say I'm healed everyone. 1062 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 4: It's never gonna happen. 1063 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, guess what, it's my initiation day. I'm healed forever. 1064 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 2: I'm buda now, Like while. 1065 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 3: Like living that's not possible because everything is changing all 1066 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:15,720 Speaker 3: the time. 1067 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 2: We're in the metaverse. We've been there, we've been in 1068 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 2: the metaverse. We have been in the metaverse already, y'all. 1069 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 2: But we're here again. Here, we are in this extremely 1070 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 2: like there's a cosmic shift happening. I think. I think 1071 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 2: in two hundred years they will look back on this 1072 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 2: time and we will be in the history books of 1073 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 2: like there was a shift that happened during this time, 1074 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 2: There was a pandemic, there were all these things that change. 1075 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: A conscious like evolution, revolution of like women, yeah, women 1076 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: and how visuality I want to be more vulnerable maybe 1077 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 1: and just like yeah, like transparency over transparency. 1078 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 2: Like actual it just it's just it's all changing. So 1079 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 2: I don't think that there's ever like this place you 1080 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 2: land on, I know. 1081 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: Is having that like that thought about fuck, and that's 1082 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:04,320 Speaker 1: why you'd. 1083 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 2: Have to just enjoy it. 1084 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gotta be doing this all the time, 1085 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 1: and that's why you just have to enjoy it. 1086 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 3: But yeah, yes, I feel so strongly about that because 1087 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 3: I also can recognize in myself when you're talking about 1088 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 3: being serious, I can definitely relate to that, and I 1089 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 3: don't actually think that I'm a serious person, but I 1090 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,280 Speaker 3: can definitely come across as a serious person even balance. 1091 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 3: Black Girl, as much as I love it and as 1092 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 3: proud as I am of it, is a little more 1093 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 3: stuffy than I would like, because that's just kind of 1094 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 3: how it's evolved to be. And I would love to 1095 00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 3: also show that healing and these things can also be fun. 1096 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 3: It can also be play, and you can laugh through 1097 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,240 Speaker 3: it and you can enjoy it because so many conversations, 1098 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 3: and I think so many conversations, especially in our community, 1099 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 3: are just so centered around all the things and all 1100 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,360 Speaker 3: the ways we suffer. 1101 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,800 Speaker 4: And that's real. We can't only focus on that. 1102 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's healing is about the pleasure, baby, let's 1103 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 1: be honest. Like healing is sex, you know, like can 1104 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: be Yeah, yeah, Birth's something new, you know, and it's 1105 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,560 Speaker 1: about being childlike. It's about going back to that place 1106 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 1: that you you existed before the world imprinted on you 1107 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,800 Speaker 1: and gave you trauma, and you loved from this place, 1108 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, without condition, and that is truly what healing is. 1109 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 1: And people take it so seriously and you have to 1110 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: go do this and do that. 1111 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 2: But like it's like people it's because people will feel 1112 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 2: like they have to show up as whoever they've been 1113 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 2: showing up as.

I 1248 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 1: did not identify with that, and maybe I should gift 1249 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: it to someone. But yes, we have finally found our 1250 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 1: deck and it's from our tribe member, so that feels 1251 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 1: really good too. 1252 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 2: Cashira. 1253 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 1: Shout out to Cashira, I love her. Okay, The Devil 1254 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 1: so uh huh, this is this interesting. This word was 1255 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 1: coming up, but I didn't say it upright. It's shadow self, 1256 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 1: the shadow work. This is like really like, you know, 1257 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: the stuff people don't want to really do outwardly, attachment, addiction, restriction, sexuality. 1258 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: So I guess the devil is maybe like what we 1259 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 1: would traditionally think is darkness or bad or what has 1260 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 1: traditionally been thought that way, And the devil card shows bafflement. 1261 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: Is that his name baff Mett? I don't know, you 1262 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 1: know Satan where the horned go of Mendes, a creature 1263 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 1: that is half man half goat, originally represented the balance 1264 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: between good and evil, male and female and human and animal. Wow. However, 1265 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,320 Speaker 1: more recently this figure has been linked to the occult 1266 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: and has become a scapegoat for all things considered evil. 1267 00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 2: So that's not scary at all. No, it's not terrifying 1268 00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 2: at all. 1269 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 1: I think it's saying a lot. I think it's saying, like, look, 1270 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: how the world has created this false narrative about the 1271 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 1: darkness about sex. 1272 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 3: And earlier we were talking about questioning why we define 1273 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 3: things that's good or bad. 1274 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 1: Yes, this is so fucking on point because I'm a witch. Yeah, 1275 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: and like that, maybe it's not bad, you know, maybe 1276 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 1: it's necessary. 1277 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 2: You have to have both. I was having this conversation 1278 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 2: again with my friend Ashley, and I was saying, how 1279 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,520 Speaker 2: they are there are protectors of evil and we need them. 1280 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 2: I know that's not a popular thing to say because 1281 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,000 Speaker 2: everyone wants to live in a world of immense peace 1282 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 2: and love, which I still think that is a possibility, 1283 00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 2: but how would we know peace without darkness? And darkness 1284 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,520 Speaker 2: also doesn't mean negative either, because literally life is born 1285 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 2: out of darkness the womb, Like we are in dark, 1286 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 2: in the dark, and then we come to the light. 1287 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 2: But I think people have obviously villainized it. But I 1288 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 2: also do believe like you need to have both. 1289 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, balance the ying and the yang. The devil card 1290 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 1: represents your shadow or darker side, and the negative forces 1291 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,919 Speaker 1: that can strain you and hold you back from being 1292 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: the best version of yourself. You may be at the 1293 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: effect of negative habits, dependencies, behaviors, thought patterns, relationships, and addictions. 1294 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 1: You have found yourself trapped between the short term pleasure 1295 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:37,800 Speaker 1: you receive and the longer term pleasure you experience. Just 1296 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: as the lever's card speaks to duality and choice, so 1297 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 1: too does the devil. However, with the devil, you are 1298 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 1: choosing the path of instant gratification, even if it is 1299 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 1: at the expense of your long term wellbeing. In effect, 1300 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,479 Speaker 1: you sold yourself to the devil.
