28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,679

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 6: they washed their water bottles.

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: Didn't we not? I thought we did.

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 5: I mean maybe we did. You got to kill on

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 5: my pagreon to get that information, he little pigs.

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: If you want that, you gotta pay up.

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: Do you have a Patreon?

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: I no, No, I don't.

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 5: I have a cameo though, If you buy a cameo,

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: I'll tell you how often I watched my water bottle,

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: not at that.

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: I have two work one in a home one.

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 6: The home one gets washed every day, and then the

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 6: work one gets washed once a week. There you go, Tanya,

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 6: has that improved on your end?

43
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: I mean I've watched it a handful of times since

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: our conversation.

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: But not regularly. Okay.

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 6: I'm married with two daughters, one and three. I live

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 6: in a town without any family or close friends. How

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 6: to make mom friends without being a total creep? I

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 6: try to have small talk with other moms at church, neighbors,

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 6: daycare pickup, but I always feel like it's forced, and

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 6: I'm so not brave enough to ask for a playdate

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 6: for the kids, because what if they say no? I

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 6: just feel so beyond awkward during these conversations. I'm trying

54
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 6: to be brave and make friends so I can show

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 6: my girls that we are brave and can do hard things.

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 6: But it's so intimidating. Thanks for all the last or

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 6: my absolute favorite podcast. Can't wait to see what the

58
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 6: future holds for all of you.

59
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: That's nice, so nice. I feel like this is I

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: do I feel for you because I do feel like

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: this is hard because you're you're in a place where

62
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: you don't have familiarity. You're kind of isolated because the

63
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: ages of your daughters three and one, I feel like

64
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: are an age where you're kind of just in survival.

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: And so I think that you're doing a great job.

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: I think if you're having those conversations, just put what's

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: the worst they can say, You're already prepared for is

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: no yeah, And if they say no, great, move on

69
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: to the next. I also think there's so many groups

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: and like ways to connect with people. Now there's BUMBLEBFF,

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: you have like all these apps where you can make friends,

72
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: you have Facebook groups. I think you just find maybe

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: places and things that you enjoy and then go or

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: places and things that your kids enjoy. So therefore you're

75
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: going somewhere where you're meeting other mom friends.

76
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: I also feel like, if your kids are playing with

77
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: their kids, why wouldn't you ask for a playdate? I

78
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: don't know one mom that would say no. Right, that's

79
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: another mom.

80
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: It off, that's yeah easy, Yeah.

81
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: That would say no to a playdate.

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe even find somewhere fun to go that

83
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: maybe they haven't been yet, or do research and be like, oh,

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to try out this place? Would you want

85
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: to go and check it out?

86
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I feel like making friends, whether they're mom friends, single friends, whatever,

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: it's just like dating. You have to just like keep

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: asking people and then eventually it like sticks.

89
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: And it is awkward, Like no matter what trying to

90
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: meet new people, whether it's romantic or friends, friendship based,

91
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: it's just uncomfortable. You have to go through the So

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: where you're from, Although I do feel like with kids,

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: you have this like new information to have people like

94
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: you can talk you don't even have to talk about yourself.

95
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, where'd you grow up?

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 6: I like that though. I like where'd you grow up?

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 6: And I got right into the sports element of it.

98
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 6: That's my way in Just the other day, I got

99
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 6: to ride from a guy the Enterprise Rendlica.

100
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: So, where'd you grow up by New York. Oh yank

101
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: you fan? Yeah, and then way we were off, We're

102
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: off to the races.

103
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: So Haley has this theory because I'm not from LA

104
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: that she always says She'll ask people where are they

105
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: from to start the conversation, and if they say, like, oh,

106
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: I'm from wherever, it somehow always gets back to oh,

107
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: my girlfriends from Louisiana and she goes always my way

108
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: because if I just say I'm from LA, It's like

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: the conversation totally dies.

110
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: Like no one cares plot lines, plotlines.

111
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: So she always uses it. But I agree, I think

112
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: there's something to that.

113
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 6: Well, So my wife had a hard time after Ali

114
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 6: was born. Ali's now in college, but it was hard

115
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 6: at the time because she didn't know anybody and we

116
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 6: don't know any family here.

117
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: Three things. Number One, she'd only Yahoo Mom's group I

118
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 3: think face for a group, same deal. Yeah, that was

119
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: a big one.

120
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 6: Two she joined stroller Fit, which was an exercise class

121
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 6: for other moms with your kids in the stroller. You

122
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 6: exercised with the kids in the stroller. Met a lot

123
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 6: of women That way built her friend group. And three

124
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 6: was just like you were talking about, Ali was really

125
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 6: good at going up to kids in the playground saying Hi,

126
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 6: I'm Ali, what's your name? And some kids would freak

127
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 6: out and run from her. Didn't care go up to

128
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 6: the next kid, Hi, I'm Ali, what's your name? And

129
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 6: then they I remember a girl, her name was Dana,

130
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 6: and they hit it off on the playground. We ended

131
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 6: up having a whole bunch of playdates with Dana and

132
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 6: her family. So these are my three suggestions. These worked

133
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 6: for us.

134
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think these are great suggestions. I like the

135
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: stroller thing because you're getting a workout in, you're having community,

136
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: and you're entertaining the kids.

137
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: That was great for There's got to be like, because

138
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: there's a park that I walk. I do a lot

139
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: of my ten thousand steps around this like specific park,

140
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: and depending on the time of day, there's like a

141
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: pod of like twenty moms that just sit in a circle.

142
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: They all have a baby on a boob and it's

143
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: got to be some sort of like newborn class something

144
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: teaching you how to breastfeed whatever. I don't know what

145
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: it is.

146
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: I think it's a baby baby on boob group.

147
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then there's another mom there's you made that up.

148
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: The bomb the bobs.

149
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: So next to bobs, there were the mobs. Yeah, because

150
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: there was another group of moms but all like we're

151
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: doing something else with the babies, and like they were

152
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: looked a little bit older, and so I'm like, and

153
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: they're all they all look like they were like meeting

154
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: each other for the first time. So I'm like, everybody's

155
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: doing it. It's uncomfortable for everybody that you just got

156
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: to do it. There's it's a means to an end.

157
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: It's so true, you know if dating that mentality of

158
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: like everyone who's going into those situations either is feeling

159
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: or has felt the same way that you're feeling. No

160
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: one is exempt from feeling the nerves and awkwardness of

161
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: being brave, like you said, So I encourage you to

162
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: keep being brave, keep putting yourself out there, join some groups,

163
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: see what sticks.

164
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do this. I'm sure soon make

165
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: friends new friends that are in like the same.

166

Speaker 2: So you gotta find your bob, you gotta find my bobs.

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: And that's just when I became a stepmom, like because

168
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm friends with like moms in the school, so they know,

00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: like what's going on.

00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 6: Stunning All right, Grace Hi back at Tanya Market easton

174
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 6: day one.

175
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: Scrubber here.

176
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 6: Love the podcast and everything y'all do. I'm hoping you

177
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 6: guys can have With a work life situation. I'm a

178
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 6: social worker and work for a nonprofit in Texas. I've

179
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 6: been at the same place for seven years, but recently

180
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 6: offered my dream job where I'll get to run my

181
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 6: own program entirely. A new company is same city. In

182
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 6: the new company in the same city. It's a huge

183
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 6: promotion and I would be stupid not to take it,

184
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 6: so I've accepted it. My main problem is that we

185
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 6: were just about to start trying for our first baby.

186
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 6: I'm thirty, my husband's thirty two. We're ready for kids.

187
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 6: I can help, but feel like now is not the

188
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 6: right time. I really don't want to wait to get pregnant,

189
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 6: but at the same time, I don't want to start

190
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 6: a new job with a lot of responsibility and then

191
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 6: take maternity leave within the first year. I'm struggling with

192
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 6: some imposters, says syndrome, as well as with the big promotion,

193
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 6: which could be playing a part here. I need advice

194
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 6: on how to navigate the situation. Do I stick with

195
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 6: my plan of having kids a SAP or do I

196
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 6: wait a year or two to settle into the job.

197
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 6: I'm worried they might regret hiring me if I announce

198
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 6: a pregnancy just after getting hired. Thank you all, you

199
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 6: guys are the best.

200
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: I have a friend that has happened too. She got

201
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: a new job and they were trying, they wanted to

202
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: start trying for a baby, and then she got this

203
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: new job and she didn't feel like exactly what we said,

204
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: like getting this new job and then taking maternity leave

205
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: was like the right thing to do. And it sucks

206
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: that it's something that we as women have to think

207
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: about because we also have our biological clocks. I would

208
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: to think about and it sucks. And so I want

209
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: you to know, like what you're thinking and what you're

210
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: going through. I think a lot of people deal with

211
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: And my friend did end up waiting a year, like

212
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: so she was start trying to start trying.

213
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I really think what is which

214
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: is my gut is saying go for the new job

215
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: and try to have a baby. You don't know like

216
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: when it's gonna happen. It might happen immediately, it might

217
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: not happen immediately. And I think that you can go

218
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: and chase after the dream that you've had for a

219
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: long time while trying to achieve another dream, and it

220
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: might be a little overwhelming, and they might have opinions

221
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: on like why did you take this job? But that's

222
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: not your responsibility think about right now?

223
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: Correct? Well put becca, thank you? Who cares what they think?

224
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but we do like you do

225
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: you take that on?

226
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I think and I see, I totally see,

227
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: and I hear it because I would probably feel the

228
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: exact same way. But I'm saying like, it's not I

229
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: think when that time comes for them to have an

230
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: opinion about it, it'll come, So navigate it then. But

231
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: I think in the meantime, take the opportunity you've been given.

232
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: This is such a dream of yours, and also start

233
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: trying to have a baby. And if you get pregnant,

234
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: then you'll have nine months to figure out, get set

235
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: up and find someone to help you run it and

236
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 2: figure it out.

237
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 6: And also lose the imposter syndrome. I know that's easier

238
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: said than done. But they offered you this job. They

239
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 6: didn't offer you this job because they got turned down

240
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: by a thousand people. They want you to do this

241
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 6: job because you're qualified and you're the best person for it.

242
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 6: I think you take it and pull the goalie. And

243
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 6: if you want to wait a few months to pull

244
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 6: the goalie, fine, but I think you got to take

245
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 6: this job.

246
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think there's any need to wait on

247
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: either thing. Go for it, that's my opinion.

248
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, Easton, I completely agree. Fantastic.

249
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know we'll be right back. All right, We

250
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: are back for anonymous. Hi, Becka, Tania Market, Easton Incline.

251
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: Are you there?

252
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 6: Because I really want his opinion. It's spend a minute

253
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 6: since I've submitted an email, But I'm wondering. I've been

254
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 6: wondering about this for a time now and figured it's

255
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 6: time to turn to the experts. My fiance and I

256
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 6: have been together three years. Of course, as it happens,

257
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 6: it started out hot and steamy. Now as time's going on,

258
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 6: we barely do the deed once maybe twice a month.

259
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 6: We both agree we feel very content in our relationship.

260
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 6: Fulfilled in many ways. We have a ton going on

261
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 6: in our lives, moving, buying houses, yeah, taking care of

262
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 6: our dogs, traveling, new jobs, family issues, all the life

263
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 6: changes you can imagine cram into just a few years,

264
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 6: and the planner in the relationship he is not so

265
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 6: I recently suggested scheduling sex. It sounds kind of silly

266
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 6: even to me, but at this point I just don't

267
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 6: see it happening organically as much as we'd like. I

268
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 6: told him maybe if we schedule it, it'll build some

269
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 6: excitement and anticipation, because honestly, for me, this part has

270
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 6: been lacking.

271
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: Have you all ever gone through this? Is it normal?

272
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 6: Sometimes to get in my head and I'm like, this

273
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 6: is how it's gonna be forever. We aren't even married

274
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 6: yet and we don't have kids yet. People say it

275
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: can become less frequent even more then. Don't get me wrong,

276
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 6: I don't have the highest libido ever, but I'm also

277
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 6: not dead and would thoroughly love to keep things interesting, exciting,

278
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 6: and keep the romance alive and feel it being reciprocated.

279
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Also, we're so damn goofy together. It's the best thing

280
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: ever because we're always making each other laugh.

281
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 6: But we need to reel it in sometimes when we're

282
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 6: trying to set the mood.

283
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: Please help. Well, that's good, that's a good sign.

284
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 6: I feel like that's good that you're so silly together

285
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 6: and laughing that it's tough. I mean, I can see

286
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 6: that being a challenge, but I think that's a good

287
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 6: time for the relationship.

288
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: I also think that it's fun to like be able

289
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: to laugh even during sex. Like I think it it

290
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: doesn't always have to be so serious and sexy every time.

291
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: But I'm curious. So he doesn't seem to have a

292
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: problem with this is.

293
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: What we're It seems like neither of them really have

294
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: a problem with it.

295
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: Kind of does.

296
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: She liked it to be more frequent, but she's not

297
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: saying like she's like unhappy. She wants it to be

298
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: more frequent, So she's wondering if scheduling it is like

299
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: a mood killer.

300
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: Well, she she said, is this how it's gonna be? Yeah,

301
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: I mean that makes me feel like she's not thrilled.

302
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: About it, But she doesn't seem unhappy.

303
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: No, she seems fine. She seems content. But I think

304
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: he fears if it's like this, what happens when we

305
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: get married and if it's like this what happens kids?

306
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, maybe it's figuring out each other's sex language.

307
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: What's it called?

308
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: What do we what's like it's called something mm hmm.

309
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 5: Your sex blue printer.

310
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: I think that if you can figure out what interests

311
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: the other and turns the other on, I think maybe

312
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: that could. I think you could bring your humor and

313
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: fun into those things, like make it fun and like

314
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: exciting for the things that you both like. So maybe

315
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: have that conversation of like what do you like, what

316
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: do you prefer? What gets you in the mood, and

317
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: so that it's not just this expected thing of like

318
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: we have it on the schedule and you know it's rigid.

319
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think you can like loosely schedule it too,

320
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: because like I loosely will schedule it in my own head,

321
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: like I'm like I'm getting my period next week, so

322
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: let's like do it a lot before, like.

323
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean? I think I don't

324
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: think scheduling it is a negative thing. Like I think

325
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: people are like, oh, yeah, you're.

326
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Is like a nine pm schedule on the Friday night.

327
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: Pressure that puts pressure on it. Correct, But I think

328
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: if you're able to just go like, hey, maybe we

329
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: can have some time together this week and just like

330
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: maybe make it spontaneous, but in a way that feels expected. Yes,

331
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's a horrible thing. I just

332
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: think you've got to rekindle the I think your's friendship

333
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: aspect is very strong, and I think you just need

334
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: to rekindle.

335
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: I also think, too, if you say to him, hey,

336
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: I really want to have sex more than twice a month,

337
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: and like, let's make this a priority, I don't think

338
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: that's a bad conversation to have either.

339
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't imagine he would be disappointed to hear

340
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: that at all at all. Men, Do y'all have any opinions?

341
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: I think it's fine to schedule sex.

342
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: There's been a lot said about how it can, like

343
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: she says, increase anticipation and excitement, because throughout the day

344
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 6: you're thinking about that, like, oh tonight, that's happening, and

345
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 6: how's that going to go, and it's just on your mind.

346
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 6: I think it's good. I think I think you have

347
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 6: the right idea.

348
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: Here, go ahead and schedule, let's see how it goes.

349
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't like put in the calendar.

350
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: I don't mind put in the calendar.

351
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I preferred in the calendar. Yeah, I want to

352
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: see that thing on my phone.

353
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: A lot better than that.

354
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 6: Then in the conference call with so and so meeting here,

355
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 6: meeting there. What a great thing to see in your calendar,

356
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 6: What a delight?

357
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: What if other people have access to your calendar? Good

358
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,239
Speaker 1: Friday night, APM.

359
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: Right, let's see here.

360
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 6: I want to jump to a confused scrubber trying to

361
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 6: make a big life decision. This is B she says,

362
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: B and T and M and E and S n P.

363
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 6: That's Sonny and Phoebe. I think my brain's about to explode.

364
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 6: Your advice on business decision that is in front of me.

365
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 6: I have two options, and the regardless of what I

366
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 6: commit to, it will be successful. I will be fulfilled

367
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 6: and I will be living my dream. I just don't

368
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 6: know which path to take. Well, that's good, I guess

369
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 6: so far. Here's the situation. I'm a young professional without

370
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: children yet, and I have a supportive family and partner

371
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 6: who are willing to support me during this life transition.

372
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 6: I'm at a crossroads of leaving my stable job, which

373
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 6: at one time was my dream job in order to

374
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 6: pursue my own business in the same field. The other

375
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 6: option in front of me is partnering with my current

376
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 6: employer to open a new location. So here here are

377
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 6: the option number one. Path number one.

378
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm going to say.

379
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 6: Start my own business, own it one hundred percent, turn

380
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 6: it into exactly what I want. It'll likely take longer

381
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 6: to build the brand and the income. My biggest fear

382
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 6: on this path is the vulnerability of the beginning stages income,

383
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 6: no healthcare, having no idea what I'm doing with figuring

384
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 6: out as I go, more risk.

385
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 3: Path two partner with my current.

386
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 6: Employer, get a small piece of the pie, keep a salary,

387
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 6: keep healthcare in the startup period, get to be creative

388
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 6: on the business side, but within their brand, brand and

389
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 6: reputation the company is established. My biggest fear here is

390
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 6: trusting the partnership. At the end of the day, I

391
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 6: know this is a big life decision I need to

392
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 6: make for myself. I keep thinking about how Taylor Swift

393
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 6: owns all of her work, and she worked hard for

394
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 6: ownership for a reason. Maybe I need to take her

395
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 6: energy forward with thoughts.

396
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind that it's path

397
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: number one. Mm hmmm, one hundred percent. Why because here's

398
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: the thing, the things that you're worried about, your fears

399
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: of the low income, the losing the healthcare, having no

400
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: idea what I'm doing, but figuring out as I go

401
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: right now, Because you don't have children yet, you are

402
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: at you can make mistakes and you can do all

403
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: of this. Now, when you have kids, you can't do

404
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: all of you It's there's more risk, so you're going

405
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: to be less likely to make these moves. Losing healthcare, yeah,

406
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay more for it. But I

407
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: just think, to me, there is a reason. And you

408
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: use taylorship as the example of owning your own work.

409
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: There is something to be said about that. And if

410
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: you have this presented to you in this opportunity right now,

411
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: I think you go for it.

412
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. I My thought process is, you know, sometimes I

413
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: watch these videos this is my algorithm TikTok, but it's like, yeah,

414
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: it's like people racing and one person starts like it's

415
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: let's say there's items that are laid out in a

416
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: straight line on either side, and so one person starts

417
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 2: at the closest item and they put it in the bucket,

418
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: and then the other person runs and gets the furthest

419
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: and starts at the furthest. So it's hard to work

420
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: at the beginning, but then at the end it's so

421
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: much easier, and that person always wins. The person who

422
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: runs further, who starts harder in the beginning, always finishes first.

423
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: And so I think there's something to be said of

424
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: like putting in the work and even though it might

425
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: be hard at the beginning, that what comes from it

426
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: is going to be make your life better and easier.

427
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: And I think like you're putting in the work to

428
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: create your own brand and business. And here's the thing.

429
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: If you're going to work for another company, you can

430
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: do that, whether it's the same company that you're debating

431
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: between or not. If your your idea doesn't go the

432
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: way you want it to and you need to go

433
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: and be employed by someone, you'll be able to find

434
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: that somewhere.

435
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. But what in fact that you said you have

436
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: a supportive family and partner. Yeah, I mean that's like

437
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: that's like having like five gases of tank in your

438
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: car before you go, do you know what I mean?

439
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: Like you're already or just a full tank.

440
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 3: Really yeah, sure, and more in the trunk. But you're right,

441
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: it's high risk, high reward or a lower risk, lower reward.

442
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 6: And if you have kids you probably take the lower

443
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 6: risk path. But at this point in your life, I

444
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 6: agree with telling you high risk, high reward.

445
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: And I think it's I think what I think is

446
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: either way you're going to be great. I just think

447
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: if you're.

448
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: If not now, when, If not you who?

449
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: If not here? Where?

450
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: And also I always went in these situations.

451
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 6: Which one would I regret? I think you would regret

452
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 6: not trying to do your own thing. You won't regret

453
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 6: the other one.

454
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: I really agree.

455
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: Agree. All right? Our next one is do I start

456
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: a long distance relationship? And I have opinions on this,

457
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: so we're going to get to it when we come back.

458
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: All right, we are back. This one is about long dating,

459
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: long distance relationships.

460
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 6: It's from k Dear Banya and Mark in Eastern in

461
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 6: mide April, left through to Colorado for a weekend trip

462
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 6: with some friends. While standing in line to board my

463
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 6: flat at Lax, my inner Tanya came out and I

464
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 6: started chatting with the couple behind me. It turns out

465
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 6: we're all lds. Mormon, and after just a few minutes

466
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: of conversation, the wife mentioned she wanted me to go

467
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: on a date with her son. I kind of laughed

468
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 6: it off and said okay, but her husband encouraged her

469
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 6: to get my info and we ended up following each

470
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 6: other on Instagram. We realized we had mutual friends and

471
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 6: lived that evening, her son Ill would be on Instagram

472
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 6: and asked me out. We went out on to date

473
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 6: while I was in town. It went really well. After

474
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 6: I returned to Willa, I messaged him to say I

475
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 6: had a great time, and he said he did two.

476
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 6: He measured we should go out again next time we're

477
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 6: in the same place. Well, ten days later, I booked

478
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 6: another trip for a second date. That date also went well.

479
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 6: He brought up future plans, asked when I'd be visiting again.

480
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 6: He said he'd love to go out next time I'm there.

481
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 6: I just got back from that second trip, and now

482
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 6: I'm facing a dilemma. I have a really busy summer,

483
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 6: maybe four to five weekends that might work for another

484
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 6: visit before September. I don't want to wait that long

485
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 6: to see him again. Another challenge that we haven't really

486
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 6: kept in touch between visits, there's been almost no communication.

487
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 6: Everything we've planned has been through DMS. So how do

488
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 6: I get rids their texting or talking on the phone

489
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 6: in between visits? Or should I just be direct and

490
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 6: tell him that's what I'd like? And am I totally

491
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 6: crazy for even considering a long distance relationship? Thank you

492
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 6: for your help and your input. Sincerely, K that has

493
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 6: kind of stuck in LA but also kind of wishes

494
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 6: she was in Colorado.

495
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: This is very fun. However, I need him to make

496
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: some efforts gone to visit. Yeah, so I first and

497
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: foremost I need him to book a trip to see

498
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 2: you and plan a date with you in your city.

499
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: And then I also think that Yeah, I would say

500
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 2: my initial reaction is just have a fun summer. If

501
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: y'all happen to be in the same place, see each other,

502
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: go on dates, have fun, don't put any pressure on it.

503
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 2: And then the other thing is like, Okay, if you're

504
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: connecting and this feels like something that you want to

505
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: move forward with, go for it. But communication for long

506
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 2: distance is everything like being able to talk on the

507
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 2: phone and FaceTime and have know what's going on in

508
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: each other's life. If you're going to enter into a

509
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: relationship is crucial. So if y'all are still in the DMS,

510
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: I think that you need to communicate. Hey, I like

511
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: seeing you. I like when we go on dates. We

512
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: have great conversations. But if we were to move forward

513
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: with this, I would need a little bit more in

514
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: between us seeing each other. Otherwise, I'm totally open to

515
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 2: just be casual to see each other when we see

516
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: each other. But that's where I stand. I feel like

517
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: there's like.

518
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: A bigger issue here, and that is why you want

519
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: a long distance relationship. I'd like you to really think.

520
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't think she does. I don't think she wants

521
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: a long distance relationship. I think it just fell into

522
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: her lab right.

523
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. You're trying to make this

524
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: into something.

525
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: But I think I know what you're getting at because

526
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: you would intentionally go for long distance people because.

527
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: It protected correct from a lot of pain.

528
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: I think her thing is that happened. It fell into

529
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: her lap. She went on the date, and then she's like, oh,

530
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 2: I like him? Is this worth getting into.

531
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: A long distance Everything can fall into your lab's, do

532
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

533
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: The same game, K, No, same game K this is

534
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: so I'm just saying, I just think maybe taking a

535
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: little bit of an internal look at this.

536
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Because what is the ultimate outcome you date this guy?

537
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Can you can either of you ever move? I mean

538
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: it might be early for those conversations, but in my opinion,

539
00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: it's never too soon.

540
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 6: Have to think about it, because the more time you

541
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 6: invest in this, yeah, the more invested you are. But

542
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 6: definition you may have a point on you about the

543
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 6: internal reasons, and I agree with Becca, you gotta he's

544
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 6: got to put some effort for it. He's not doing

545
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 6: much of anything as far as I can tell.

546
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 2: Before we move into who's willing to move? We got

547
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: to get out of the d MS. We got out

548
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: of the DM some people.

549
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: I feel like people don't even give their numbers anymore.

550
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: They just say like DM me.

551
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: Well initially sure because they're no.

552
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: And they just only communicate on DMS.

553
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm encouraging her to get out of that.

554
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is gen Z, but this

555
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: is like a gen Z thing.

556
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: Well, whether you're gen Z or not, Okay, I think

557
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: you deserve to have each other's phone numbers.

558
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 6: I think pull back. I think pull back and see

559
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 6: what happens. Yeah, is he gonna put in the effort forth?

560
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 6: Don't plan another trip, just see how this goes. If

561
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 6: he puts a little bit of effort, then maybe, But

562
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 6: for now I think.

563
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 2: Hanging back like him being like, what am I going

564
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: to see you again?

565
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: Well?

566
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, buddy. When when he's come in la.

567
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Planes fly up and they flied left

568
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and right.

569
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: Yep, all right.

570
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 6: This person who I don't have a name for, is

571
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 6: in a mental pickle. Dear Banya, I'm going through an

572
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 6: incredibly toxic work situation. My boss has made sexist remarks

573
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 6: to me taking credit for my work, told me I

574
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 6: take up too much space, etc. As a shaker to

575
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 6: no one. And I'm on the job search, which is

576
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 6: a story for another time. My boyfriend of six years

577
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: and I wanting to get engaged, and my work life

578
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 6: is so toxic that I said, can we just wait

579
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 6: to get engaged until I find something new. I explained

580
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 6: that I want to be engaged, but I hate my

581
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 6: current work life so much. I don't want to hear

582
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 6: a fake congratulations from my sexist boss or have him

583
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 6: nitpicked me about being happily engaged.

584
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 3: To add to it.

585
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 6: My boyfriend is contracted by our organization a lot since

586
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 6: he's a musician that works for us, so my boss

587
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 6: is now starting to target him in his toxic tirade.

588
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 6: My boyfriend is my dream partner, the most supportive, funny, kind, selfless,

589
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 6: passionate person, and he will do anything to make me happy,

590
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 6: so I know he will support me if we decide

591
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 6: to get engaged, even though I don't really want to wait.

592
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 6: I am a Tanya. My question is what is my

593
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 6: problem that's making me want to deprive myself of so

594
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 6: much joy because I'm in this position? How do I

595
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 6: get myself out of such a funk? How do I

596
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 6: stay mentally strong and a modern motivated woman as I

597
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 6: look for a new job and enter this exciting new

598
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 6: phase of engagement. I'd appreciate any advice. This podcast has

599
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 6: been such a highlight to my week during this stressful,

600
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 6: transformative time. Thank you for being a safe, supportive, and

601
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 6: inspiring space for so many listeners.

602
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't want you to wait to get engaged until

603
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: you find a new job, because that sucks, and I

604
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: feel like I hate this boss for you, but I

605
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: almost wish that you could like disassociate or compartmentalize, which

606
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I think is a very important lesson in life. And

607
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: if you can learn how to do that now, I

608
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: think it's just going to benefit you more in the

609
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: future to like compartmentalize. Like, Okay, I'm going to zip

610
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: at my cocoon, I'm going to go to work and

611
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to deal with this asshole, but I'm gonna

612
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: come home, I'm gonna guns at my cocoon, and I'm

613
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: going to like have my happy life sever it. Yeah,

614
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: And I feel like you need to do that because

615
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: I think searching for a job, especially now, it might

616
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: take you some time, and I feel like waiting to

617
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: get engaged so that until you have a new job

618
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: just seems like you're putting a pause on such a happy,

619
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: exciting time in your life.

620
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel like, unfortunately it's hard to avoid

621
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: because it we're humans. But I think you're giving this

622
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: boss so much energy that I'm like, don't give him

623
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: the energy of affecting your happiness about being engaged to

624
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: the person that you love.

625
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: And like, when I tell you, I understand, I didn't

626
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: deal with the sexist boss, thank god, but I dealt

627
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: with a very meet.

628
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

629
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh oh no, so I'm sorry. Yes, sexist. There

630
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: was no like, uh actual harassment, oh sure, Like I

631
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: didn't deal with that, right, But it was very negative,

632
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: It was very toxic. It was very harmful to my

633
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: all around being. Like I would take it home with me.

634
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: Everything he said I would take home with me. I'd

635
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: be miserable and miserable and miserable. And I actually don't

636
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: even know how I did it, but I was able

637
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: to dissociate so much that like literally now it's like,

638
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not my boss anymore, but you could

639
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: say anything and it would just like fly over my

640
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I could not care less. So I did it.

641
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: It takes practice, I mean, it takes a lot of

642
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: practice and like energy, shifting your energy into what you're

643
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: like putting your focus on. But I just think that

644
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: if you just wait to let yourself be happy in

645
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: your personal life because of this loser you're just getting,

646
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: you're letting him win. And I really don't like to

647
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: see a loser like that win.

648
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: Same.

649
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 6: And also, there are a lot of excuses that you

650
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 6: can use to postpone major life moments, And why we

651
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 6: do that, I don't know, but I think that. Like,

652
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 6: for example, when I propose to my wife, she wasn't

653
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 6: expecting it because she she was going back to school

654
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 6: and she assumed that after the two years she was

655
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: going back to take the program. We probably get engaged

656
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 6: after that, so she didn't even see it coming because

657
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 6: we were pushing things off. Because I think that's an

658
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 6: there's an instinct there, like even though this is the

659
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 6: perfect guy and you want to be engaged, it's like

660
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 6: closing off a chapter of your life.

661
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: It's a major life moment, or.

662
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: You want to have like all your ducks in a row.

663
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 6: And I even said that as part of my speech

664
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 6: to my wife on the beach that day when I proposed.

665
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 6: Is I know we're not ready for this. I know

666
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 6: we don't have everything set up the way we wanted to,

667
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 6: but I don't care. So I think you kind of

668
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 6: got to. If you wait till everything's perfect, you're never

669
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 6: it's never going to happen. So I say, go for it,

670
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 6: get engaged, same, enjoy that part of your life.

671
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Severate.

672
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: Severate.

673
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: If you all don't know, sever it is from severance.

674
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: Touching well, I mean it's basically compartmentalizing right off your work.

675
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,719
Speaker 2: If you're your work life where you go home. Yeah, correct,

676
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: Let yourself be happy with the man that you love. Yeah,

677
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: and don't let the man you don't love.

678
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: Dictate any other part of your life.

679
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: Don't give them that power.

680
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

681
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: A lot of power, a lot of power. We give

682
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: people so much power, and it's crazy, preach. No one

683
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: should have that amount of power over you. That's right,

684
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: only you, that's right, over yourself.

685
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: That's right. Well, that's all for now. I saw someone

686
