I still have I still can't 44 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: believe it. I still haven't read it. I'm going to 45 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 4: be honest, really I wrote it, but I read some 46 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: of it. I've listened to some of it, but I 47 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 4: think I'm still like processing it because it took it 48 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: took a long time for us to write, and I 49 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 4: think we both kind of are surprised at how challenging 50 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 4: it was, not just because really writing Yeah, people think, oh, 51 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 4: you're writing by your life, it's so easy, but it 52 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: was like very dreary. 53 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: Well that does sound so interesting because I think some 54 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: of what is so powerful about your magic on your 55 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: show and platform is how much you are willing to share. 56 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: You know, how many breakthroughs, how many of those aha moments, 57 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: like things that take people years to kind of get 58 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: to a point with themselves, they get to move through 59 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: and heal through faster because you're sharing your experiences. So 60 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: what was that like, like going from the way that 61 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: you share both of you to them kind of saying 62 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: how do I put that into book form? 63 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 4: I think it was like deciding what was actually important, 64 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: like what was actually going to help people? Because the 65 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: book is I guess it's it's it's partially prescriptive, meaning 66 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: like it's supposed to help and supposed to guide people, 67 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 4: and so you know, there were certain things where I 68 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 4: was like, at first I was writing it like my diary, 69 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 4: and I was like, I don't think they need to 70 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: know all of this, or maybe they already know this. 71 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 4: I think I've said this already, so like really trying 72 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 4: to hone in on like what was actually important and 73 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 4: going to be impactful, and also like what I needed 74 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: to release that I hadn't already. Yeah, because I think 75 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 4: that there was that too, Like things came up during 76 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 4: the writing process where I was like, oh, I'm not done. 77 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: With that yet. 78 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: I thought that I was done with that part, but 79 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: it's not done. So that was my experience. I don't 80 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: know about what about Unila. 81 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: I think it was. 82 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 5: I think it's one thing to discuss and talk and 83 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 5: like conversate about things and let things naturally come up. 84 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 5: But then a book seems very permanent. You know, it 85 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 5: has to be produced in a way that like it's 86 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 5: it's it flow, you know, repeating yourself, you sound smart. 87 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 5: I think that it was much more difficult than I 88 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 5: expected to relive certain parts, and I think I didn't realize, 89 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 5: like I think it was a really a highlight into 90 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 5: how much I was like, yeah, I'm over like sweeping 91 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 5: it under the carpet type like it's I've moved on, 92 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 5: and actually revisiting it and detail and having to like 93 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 5: re experiencing experience, re experiencing traumatic things that happened in 94 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 5: a way that I had to really deep dive, deep 95 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 5: dive into them so other people could understand. Was like, oh, wow, 96 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 5: I wasn't expecting this, and even to like even when 97 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 5: we wrote it to like maybe a year and a 98 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 5: half and then we recorded it, and that was that 99 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 5: was interesting, even more interesting because it obviously we wrote 100 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 5: the shit, but as we're recording it and we're reading 101 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 5: it it it even affected me differently. Then it like 102 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 5: made me cry in a way like I don't think 103 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 5: I was expecting. I'm like this, how the fuck am 104 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 5: I crying about my own shit that I went through. 105 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 5: So it's been it's an interesting like healing process. Yeah, 106 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 5: and then actually seeing it be released into the world 107 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 5: and know that people are there like reading your deepest 108 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 5: secrets is yeah. 109 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean God and you, the two of you started 110 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: your podcast in twenty eighteen, and so that was really 111 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean, we've slowly been kind of shifting these paradigms 112 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: around what it is to be a woman, what it 113 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: is to be not just a woman, but a multifaceted 114 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: woman that is worthy of pleasure, that is worthy of 115 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: being seen, being heard, being loved. You know, but this 116 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: is new territory, Like, make no mistake, this is new territory. 117 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: And I feel that both of you were really on 118 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the pioneering frontier of being able to speak to the 119 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: complexities of that and the nuance of that in a 120 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: time that one that wasn't happening even in twenty eighteen, 121 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: and definitely wasn't happening with black women or any women 122 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: of color. Talk to me about what it kind of 123 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: took to even launch the show in your style, because 124 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: that kind of broke through the door I think for 125 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people to share in new ways. 126 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: I think it is why are you laughing already? 127 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: What is this? 128 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: Because it wasn't that profound, Like it really wasn't, like 129 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: I mean, yes, but like you know, we started our 130 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: show because we were sad. We're like a little sad. 131 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: We were excited about our friendship and it really there 132 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: was no plan. There was no like we're going to 133 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 4: change the world or there was no like, you know, 134 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: I don't even people ask us all the time. I 135 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: don't know why we started the show. It was just 136 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 4: like I found a podcast. I started listening murder mystery podcasts. 137 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 4: I didn't at one point I started searching like single 138 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: motherhood podcasts because I had suddenly become a single mom, 139 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 4: very unexpectedly, and I was like, well, I'm already here 140 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: listening they what else do they have here? And there 141 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 4: was nothing. And I had met Jamila and you know, 142 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 4: if you read our book, you'll find you'll hear about 143 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 4: our conception story, which is very funny and interesting but 144 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: and sexy. But yeah, I just was like, hey, girl, 145 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: like I want to like start a podcast, and really 146 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 4: I just wanted to hang out with her. I really 147 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 4: just wanted to sit down and talk to her. And 148 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 4: she was like, yeah, sure, like a radio show. I 149 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: was like yeah, And so we just like had a 150 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 4: photo shoot because that's what bitches do, and pressed record 151 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 4: and said okay, let's just talk and then we it 152 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 4: was a practice I was supposed to be a practice episode, 153 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: and then we were just like okay, well we don't 154 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 4: want to do that again. Let's just release it and 155 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 4: it was kind of like it was very divine because 156 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: obviously we became single around the same time. Our daughters 157 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 4: are at the same age, we're both black moms, we 158 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 4: both grew up in the same area, although we never 159 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: knew each other, which is also very strange that it 160 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: was like God knew we needed to meet each other 161 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 4: at this exact moment. We released our episode like in March, 162 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 4: the week of International Woman's Month or something like. It 163 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 4: was all kind of just lined up, and then we 164 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: just didn't think anyone was listening. So we just said everything, 165 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: you know, and we didn't hold back. And then one day, 166 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 4: I think three months in, we checked the numbers and 167 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 4: we're like, oh, like, do. 168 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: You know ten thousand people. 169 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I thought our friends were just listening. 170 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 4: And then slowly, like people started reaching out, like Hey, 171 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 4: I live in Arkansas and I smoke weed and I'm 172 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 4: a mom and I've been hiding in my closet. I'm 173 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 4: so happy that like, yeah you do too, Or hey, 174 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 4: I'm dating and I just broke up with my husband 175 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 4: and I feel really ashamed that I'm having so much fun, 176 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 4: or I don't even know where to start, and so 177 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 4: I think it really, you know, it started off as 178 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 4: just this thing that I wanted to do with this 179 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 4: new friend of mine that I had met. And I 180 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 4: think that's why our audience has such a deep attachment 181 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 4: to us, because they've watched our friendship grow. Like I 182 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: did not know Jamila really are. We got to know 183 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: each other on the podcast. So if you start from 184 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 4: the very beginning that first episode until now, you can 185 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 4: see the evolution of our friendship. And there has been 186 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 4: ups and downs in our friendship, in our relationship, in 187 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: our motherhood, and I think that I think that's really 188 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 4: been the magic and the call to the women, like 189 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: oh hell, I. 190 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 5: Think we were like in a really we're both in 191 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 5: a really specific time in our lives. That we met 192 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 5: during a time where we had just had babies, and 193 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 5: for you know, we know what the fuck we were doing, 194 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 5: and that if you've had a baby and you know, 195 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 5: that's a very like delicate time of transition. But mostly 196 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 5: I think also when we started the podcast, we had 197 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 5: just broken up from our baby daddy's who we intended 198 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 5: to be in relationship with forever. So I think, you know, 199 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 5: I think a lot of it had to do with 200 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 5: we were in relationships that we thought we were going 201 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 5: to be in forever. That kind of shifted who we were, 202 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 5: and we were in those relationships for a really long time. 203 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 5: And so after coming out of that and then after 204 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 5: having kids, there was like we both had this this 205 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 5: high level of zero fucks to give, you know, it 206 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: was a very high level of like, you know what, 207 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: I just did all this, I just did this time 208 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: in this relationship, and I lost myself. I've lost myself 209 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 5: and now I'm here trying to figure it the fuck out, 210 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 5: and I don't care what I have to do to 211 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 5: do that. 212 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: I'm going to do it. And I think there was 213 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: like this level of. 214 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 5: Like like just coming up, emerging back into our authentic 215 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 5: selves that kind of gave us permission to say whatever 216 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 5: the fuck we wanted. And a yes, we didn't think 217 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 5: anybody was listening, but also we were just like, I'm 218 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 5: going to do whatever I want because I'm single and 219 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 5: shit didn't work out the way I thought. None of 220 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 5: this shit isn't like I thought it was going to be, 221 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 5: and so fuck it, let's just see what happens type shit. 222 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: You know, Like it wasn't very well thought out, but 223 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 3: I think we just were both like what do we 224 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: have to lose? 225 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Can I just say, it's interesting that I framed it 226 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: the way that I framed and then both of you 227 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: instantly went, it wasn't really that profound, no, I mean, yeah, 228 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: we didn't even think it out. We didn't even think 229 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: about it, Like all right, y'all. I'm not saying that 230 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: you had, you know, the download from God of like 231 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: what everything was gonna become, but like, you know, let 232 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: that in, like take that in, because I don't think 233 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: anybody who pioneers a space or builds something that hasn't 234 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: existed before thinks about it with that intent. Like that's 235 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: kind of the natural energy that comes in with that 236 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: willingness to fully be oneself, you know. So it's like, 237 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to flatter you. I'm just trying to 238 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: be honest and say and really frame it as it 239 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: takes guts to talk about yourself. It takes guts to 240 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: reveal your pain to people. And it's I consider that 241 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: when people do things like that, it's an act of 242 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: high service, you know, because everyone can take the other out. 243 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: Everyone can say I'm gonna reveal a little or not 244 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: enough or nothing, you know, but it's like you have 245 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: helped so many women feel seen, feel heard, give new permissions, 246 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: and also connect to you know, your show really exists 247 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: at the intersection of motherhood, holistic practice, pleasure. You know, 248 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: it's it's a permission giver. 249 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: And so my god, well, thank you, thank you. I 250 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: received that. I think I think that me and Mila. 251 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 4: You know, in this time of podcasting, there seems there's 252 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 4: there's a lot of podcasts that seem like they're they're 253 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: trying to do a certain thing. And I always which 254 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 4: I love, because I love I want people to move 255 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: with intention, right, and I think we do. I think 256 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: we were moving with like unintentional intention. But I always 257 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: think it's funny because a lot of people do assume 258 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 4: like that we were friends before or that like we 259 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 4: had this like big like idea around what we were doing. 260 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: And obviously things have change now. I mean, we are 261 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 4: fully invested in what we do and really intentional the 262 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 4: spaces that work we curate. But early on it was 263 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 4: like I think about back on that time and it 264 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: was kind of just like the wild World West in 265 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: our lives, and I'm so grateful that it was because 266 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: we really did have a I mean, we do have 267 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: a lot of guys, but we had a lot of 268 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 4: we we both met each other at that time, and 269 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 4: we were just really, like she said in this like 270 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck era of our lives. 271 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 5: And when I look at it in hindsight, I really 272 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 5: feel like, you know, in that moment, we didn't really 273 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: realize the decision we had made. But I do think 274 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 5: that it's a beautiful like it's a beautiful document of 275 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 5: the first step of choosing yourself and then seeing how 276 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 5: it develops.

And 335 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: it's when we have been stuck in this kind of 336 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: system of perfectionism or having to have it perfect and 337 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: right the first time, or having to just kind of 338 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: stay one version of you.

It's just it's powerful, it's beautiful. 344 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 4: It is it is, and I mean, I'm grateful that 345 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 4: I'm We've led with the fact that we are not perfect. 346 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: You know. 347 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 4: You know, there's I think that even as women like 348 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 4: like you said, like there's been this picture painted that 349 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 4: things have to be perfectly tied up. Yeah, And I 350 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 4: think that that is the beauty in it is that 351 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 4: I've said things, I've done things that you know, we're 352 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 4: not perfect. They were some of them were mistakes, some 353 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 4: of them were bad choices. And that is the play 354 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 4: on our on the name of our podcast anyway, is like, 355 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 4: you know, even when we wanted to name our show 356 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 4: good Mom's Bad Choices, a lot of people are like, oh, 357 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 4: you don't want to do that like, that's moms and bad, 358 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 4: that's not a good choice. But the point is is 359 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: that not all the bad choices are bad. 360 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: And some of them are bad. I've made some bad 361 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: choices one hundred percent, you know. 362 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 4: But the hope is that those bad choices lead us 363 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: to the better choices and make us better people. And 364 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 4: I think once women, we stop kind of judging each other, 365 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 4: because I think there is a huge judgment not just 366 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 4: from the male gaze and patriarchy and all that, there's 367 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 4: a lot of judgment within our own, you know, community 368 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 4: of women. And I think it's you know, even I 369 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 4: talk about this in the book with Jamila as like 370 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 4: the mirror that we hold to each other. And a 371 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 4: lot of times, you know, when you see a woman 372 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 4: living in her her purpose, or in her freedom, or 373 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: in her sexuality, her sensuality, and that makes you really uncomfortable. 374 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 4: A lot of that is because you haven't given yourself 375 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 4: permission to tap into that. And I know that deeply personally, 376 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 4: because I have been that woman, the one that's judging 377 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 4: the other woman aka Jamila. When I first saw her 378 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 4: on Instagram, before I ever met her, she was with 379 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 4: her daughter in a string bikini, holding a glass of 380 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 4: champagne at on the side of the pool, and her 381 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: daughter might have been only like a month old, and 382 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: I was like, what in. 383 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: The hell is this? How could she do this? 384 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, I was like twenty thousand months pregnant at home, 385 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: like you know, succumbing to like all these different ideas 386 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 4: of what I thought I was supposed to do now 387 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 4: as a mother, judging myself, judging her because I really 388 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: wanted that. 389 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 3: I wanted to be by the pool with a glass. 390 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 4: Of champagne, you know, but I felt like as a mother, 391 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: I could no longer do that. As a mother, I 392 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 4: had to be more conservative in some way, And I 393 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 4: don't even know where that came from, because I'm not 394 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 4: a conservative person. 395 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 3: I've never been. 396 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 4: But something happened, like literally, something happened when I got 397 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 4: pregnant where I started to adopt all these things. Because 398 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 4: when as you know, if you're listening right now and 399 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 4: you're a mom, you know, everyone has an opinion about 400 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 4: what you should do, what you should eat, how you 401 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 4: should live, how you should take care of yourself, how 402 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 4: you prepare properly, how you birth, what's the right way 403 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 4: to birth, where you should birth. You know, and if 404 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 4: you're not really secure and who you were are, and 405 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 4: I wasn't at that time, you will be confused as hell. 406 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 4: And I was deeply confused and deeply insecure. And so 407 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 4: as women, there's a lot of us are deeply wounded. 408 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 4: And so when we see other women living in there 409 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: whatever that is, and then we judge them, a lot 410 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 4: of it is because we haven't given ourself permission to 411 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 4: even explore those parts of ourselves. 412 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you know.

We 501 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,239 Speaker 5: were like, really, we're gonna do that. We've never done 502 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 5: it before, but that's. 503 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 3: Like so yeah. 504 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 4: Early on when we started podcasting, obviously we were single, 505 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 4: and we were like, we want open relationship. That seems 506 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 4: like the fool proof, like you know, set up where 507 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 4: no one gets hurt. 508 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: I get to do my thing, you get to do 509 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: your thing. I can do that, no problem. 510 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 4: And then we had Beayon and she she affirmed me 511 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 4: in that and I was like yeah, and she was 512 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 4: you know, she talked about her experience, her experiences with 513 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 4: her husband and they are, you know, this is their lifestyle, 514 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 4: very committed to it, and she talks about it so 515 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 4: beautifully and eloquently and how it's you know, been challenging 516 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 4: but it's worked for her, And I was like, you 517 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 4: know what, Yeah, if I get married, that's what I want. No, 518 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 4: it's not anymore, not now, no, no, Yeah, things have changed. 519 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 4: And I because I realized that my my attachment to 520 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 4: this idea of an open relationship was really based in 521 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 4: the fact that I didn't think that I could get 522 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 4: a person that would be monogamous to me. 523 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: It was based and hurt. It wasn't based in actually 524 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: what I wanted. 525 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 4: It was based in that I felt like this was 526 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 4: all I could get, and so I might as well 527 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 4: participate because you. 528 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 3: Know, I acting yourself, protect myself. 529 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 4: But I'm also gonna have fun too, So it's fine, 530 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 4: like I get I get served, you get served. 531 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 3: We're all happy. No one's lying. 532 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, And so after like, it took me a few 533 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 4: years to get to that realization because we've had her 534 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 4: on twice. So the first time, like I was dead 535 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 4: set on it. By the time her husband came on, 536 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 4: I was like on the fence about it. At that point, 537 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know. And yeah, So that's 538 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 4: definitely one thing for sure that has changed in my perspective, 539 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 4: in my in my journey and podcasting. But there's been 540 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 4: so many moments. I think about our episode two with Krin, Well, 541 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 4: her name is Elizabeth Ovison, but her pen name is 542 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 4: Karin Stephans. People know hers Krin Stephen's, and you know, 543 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 4: she's underwent a lot of you know, backlash, and she's 544 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: kind of been in some ways a pioneer, especially in 545 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 4: the space of writing books about her personal journey and 546 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 4: her her I guess uh, sexual liberation, sexual aberration, and 547 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 4: she talked a lot about the messes in the message 548 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: and allowing yourself to be messy, and for me, that 549 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 4: has been a journey that I've been on recently because 550 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 4: I think I grew up in a household where, like 551 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 4: I don't want to say perfection, it needed to be perfect, 552 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 4: but there was an element of like expectation of what 553 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 4: things needed to look like, how I needed to act, 554 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 4: and I always kind of rebelled against it anyway, but 555 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 4: it was still ingrained in me. And so over the 556 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 4: last year and a half, I've really allowed myself to 557 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 4: be quite messy and undo certain things and maybe even 558 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 4: go fall backwards a little bit in the process of 559 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 4: my healing. But I kind of needed to do that 560 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: in order to arrive to where I'm at now and 561 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 4: kind of investigate parts of myself that I thought I 562 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 4: had the dealt with and I just but I had 563 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 4: just suppressed and put them in a nicely organized box 564 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: and said, Okay, we're done with that. 565 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,239 Speaker 3: You know. 566 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 4: So I always think about her that quote that she 567 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 4: said to me, like the mess is in the message. 568 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 3: It really the messages. The message is in the mess 569 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: and it's always stuck with me. 570 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, deeply. Well how has it felt? 571 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 3: You know? 572 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: I know, in the last couple of years, you guys 573 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: have launched these really beautiful retreats in Costa Rica, and 574 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: when I just at first I want to be at 575 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: the next one because y'all look like you have a 576 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: gut dang blast and every time you know me and 577 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: you like we will get together for dinner and stuff Erica. 578 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: And like I remember I was talking to you right 579 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: when you got back, and you were just telling me 580 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: some of the things that were going down, and I 581 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: was like, okay, I need to be that free, like 582 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: get me on the sand right now, let. 583 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 3: Your teddies hang. 584 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 6: Maybe's not that, however, it's a form of healing things, 585 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 6: be saying I might yeah, where some cute bottoms or 586 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 6: something a very I want to supportive top. 587 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: But you know, the journey of something we have talked 588 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: about is the journey of honoring being on the path 589 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: of a healer and letting yourself occupy that space as 590 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: a teacher, as a healer, as a way shower.

It's just 600 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 5: like these events came and then we're like, I think 601 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 5: that we're doing something important, you know, and then you 602 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 5: go into the jungle and then you know, these things 603 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 5: happen and you're leading women, and I think that are 604 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 5: initially our idea of what that looked like and what 605 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 5: that meant like like held this, I think we were 606 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 5: holding ourselves to some kind of standard, right, like we 607 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 5: live in a society that kind of conditions us to 608 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 5: believe that you need some type of special curriculum and 609 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 5: some type of special piece of paper that somebody in 610 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 5: a uniform gives you in order to be this right, 611 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 5: especially as women, you do this, and that's what you do. 612 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 3: You went to school for this, that's what you do. 613 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 5: You're not going to be like a model and a 614 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 5: singer and a basketball player and you know what I mean, 615 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 5: Like you can only be so many things. 616 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 3: This is the world we live in. You're a doctor. 617 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 5: You're only a doctor if you have this paper and 618 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 5: you read this book and you paid five hundred thousand 619 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 5: dollars to go to this university. 620 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 3: And so we kind of lead with that. 621 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 5: And I think this lesson and for us being healers, 622 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 5: is that I think we kind of had to understand 623 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 5: that it's innate and that like, our gifts are our 624 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 5: gifts and no one can take that away from us. 625 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 5: And then I think then we kind of accepted it. 626 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 5: But I think there was definitely a period of what 627 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 5: is it called imposter syndrome where I'm like, I don't 628 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 5: want to call myself that, Like that's let's just chill, 629 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 5: you know, and at this point, you know, I think 630 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 5: it's taken all eight retreats to be like, bitch, me 631 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 5: do this. I'll be healing people in the jungle, you know. 632 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 5: And and just understand that I've really come into this 633 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 5: understanding that it's the embodiment, the embodiment of like we 634 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 5: all have met here before, you know, if we're all 635 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 5: here too with purpose and that's our divine like just 636 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 5: like the plants are supposed to grow and a polar 637 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 5: bear is supposed to be in fucking Alaska, Like there 638 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 5: are things that we're gifted with at birth and doesn't 639 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 5: require any type of degree or certificate or training, and 640 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 5: you know, innately on a cellular level, there are gifts 641 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 5: that were given and it's to be ourselves. And at 642 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 5: the root of being ourselves is the healing. And I 643 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 5: think we all have the potential to heal each other 644 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 5: because I think as a human society, we were connected 645 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 5: and we were supposed to work in community, and that 646 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 5: means healing each other, given each other, give an exchange 647 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 5: of energy, and we all have different gifts to give 648 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 5: and receive. And I think that like understanding that existing 649 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 5: exactly as who I am is the gift of healing 650 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 5: because someone else can look and say, oh, look, this 651 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 5: little crazy bitch is bold enough to be this, this, this, 652 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 5: and that I can learn something from that and then 653 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 5: be attracted to it and then come and take a 654 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 5: trip and then gain something from that, and vice versa. 655 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 5: We've gained a lot of things. So I think like 656 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 5: it's been of like an interesting dance with what is, 657 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 5: you know, like we have been doing the work for 658 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 5: a long time, and that's just by showing up as ourselves. 659 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 5: We haven't had to come with like a special suit 660 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 5: jacket and a blazer and be like this is who 661 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 5: we are. It's just like, I think I've really learned 662 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 5: that the healer is existing as exactly as you are 663 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 5: without apology, and that is the gift that you give 664 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 5: to the people around. 665 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: You, you know it. I think that is so powerful. 666 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: And I would also say it's the commitment to continuing 667 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: to evolve oneself, you know, because that's what I've also 668 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: heard you say. It's like, yes, we have these innate gifts, 669 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: and then once we notice them, once we agree to 670 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: use them in service, then it's our duty to keep 671 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: kind of like, do I still relate to that way 672 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: of being like, how can I evolve that thought? Can 673 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: I refine myself in a way that this inherent gift 674 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: I have can be even more potent, more aligned, more clear? 675 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 2: You know? 676 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: And we have so many things to give in that way. 677 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 3: No, I agree. I think. 678 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 4: Again what me Al said as far as just existing 679 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 4: as who you are and that being the gift, and 680 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 4: also then like saying, Okay, I know that these are 681 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 4: my gifts, how do I how do I hone them? 682 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 3: What are the who do I need to talk to? 683 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 3: Who do I need to speak with? 684 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 4: Reaching out to other people, and because that's where the 685 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 4: expansion starts to happen, even in your gifts and in 686 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 4: your offering, And that's what I feel like has been 687 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 4: the journey for me since that first retreat, because we 688 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 4: went in not really I've never been on a retreat 689 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 4: ever in my life, even now, So I had no idea, 690 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 4: I had no expectation, which actually was was really beautiful 691 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 4: because I just we just created something that what would 692 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 4: we want? 693 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: What would I want? 694 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 4: If I was traveling hundreds of miles away from my home, 695 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,959 Speaker 4: driving five hours into the jungle to meet a bunch 696 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 4: of women I've never met.

So it's I feel like 725 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 4: it's a it's a it's a journey. And I know, 726 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 4: I told myself next year, I'm going to go on 727 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 4: a retreat because I need. I want to go and experience, 728 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 4: you know, someone else's circle and their container and and 729 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 4: see what that's like. But I think the beauty of 730 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 4: our retreats is that there is no like, we don't 731 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 4: show up as like we are. We are the professionals 732 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 4: here and you are the. 733 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: Students, you know. 734 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 4: And I think that there is a level of very 735 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 4: there's a level of like they know that we're here 736 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 4: to guide them and lead them, but that we're all 737 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 4: kind of here together and we're all equals. Yeah, and 738 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 4: from all different walks of life. I think that's the 739 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 4: beauty of it, that there is no like elitism in 740 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 4: the experience. 741 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: And it too, it depends kind of like there's so 742 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: many benefits to different styles, and it depends what we need, 743 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, what you need. Some people really need that 744 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: guidance deeply, and they need all the places that that 745 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: can take them in some of the privacy of that. 746 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: But then there's also you know, not everyone goes to 747 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: one on one therapy. A lot of people have profound 748 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: and even better experiences in group therapy because being able 749 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: to connect to the stories of other people, to share 750 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: yourself with a group, like you're working so many different 751 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: muscles and healing so many different parts you may not 752 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 1: have had a chance to. So it's like, yeah, that's 753 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: the beauty of us in this time, being able to say, well, 754 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: what will work for me, like what makes me feel 755 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: excited and the most free and open to be my 756 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: most authentic self? Right? 757 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 3: I agree? 758 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 4: And you know, we just did an episode the other 759 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 4: day or that's coming out next week with a young 760 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 4: woman named Miala. She's a voodoo priestess, and we were 761 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 4: talking about like what a healer supposed to look like, right, 762 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 4: what a voodoo priestess looks like. I think that there's 763 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 4: this misconception around what this role is supposed to look 764 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 4: like and the fact that it's not really a role. 765 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 4: Like every woman is a healer. We all have these gifts. 766 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 4: We sometimes we don't tap into them in our whole 767 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 4: entire lifetime. Right, maybe we do, but just in different ways. 768 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 4: We heal people through food, we heal people through whatever 769 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 4: it is. But I just want to encourage women to 770 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 4: just understand that it doesn't have to look a certain way. 771 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 4: You don't have to like wear nudes or head wraps 772 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 4: or all white or whatever it is. Like, it's whatever 773 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 4: allows you to show up and be open to whoever 774 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 4: it is you're serving, and be authentic and be present 775 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 4: and give whatever that person needs from you in that moment. 776 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,959 Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be this whole thing. 777 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 4: And I think for me, even when I when I 778 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 4: started to step into the space again, just like when 779 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 4: I met Jamila and I adopted these things abound motherhood 780 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 4: and what I was supposed to be, I felt myself 781 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 4: almost wanting to do that again, and I had to 782 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 4: resist and say no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing that. 783 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 3: Like you are enough, You've got it. 784 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's new territory, Like even this idea of 785 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: being a healer, it's the last few years. You know. 786 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: It's like we're reclaiming the matriarchy. We're reclaiming that blueprint 787 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: that we can be the spiritual head of household and 788 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: be the medicine women. You know, it's really new ground. 789 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: And I you know, I believe in the path of 790 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: being a healer and whatever that means to each of us. 791 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: To me, it comes down to, like, at the very 792 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: very core of it, one fundamental, are you being of 793 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: service to others or are you being of service to yourself? 794 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: If you're only being of service to yourself, if this 795 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: is a look, if this is a marketing employee, if 796 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 1: this is a way for you to be seen, you're 797 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: not a healer. If you are using your gifts in 798 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: service to yourself and in service to others. To me, 799 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: that's like what at the core, core, core base of 800 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: whatever it is you call yourself, whatever your modalities are, 801 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 1: there has to be a desire to be of service 802 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: to others. There has to be an alignment. There has 803 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: to be a connection to whatever your higher power is 804 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: source I call that power God, you know. But there 805 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: has to be alignment, there has to be guidance, and 806 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: there has to be a desire to do good for 807 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: others outside of just what you get from it, you know, 808 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: absolutely deeply, well, well, talk to me about I have 809 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,919 Speaker 1: got to come to one of these because I had 810 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 1: no damn idea, how lit it gets.

Because we're building 1007 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 4: a business and we've businesses, businesses, it has become extremely 1008 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 4: hard to prioritize our friendship. We are just work work, work, work, work, 1009 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 4: and it has been a detriment to our friendship. And 1010 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,839 Speaker 4: you know, in any relationship, sometimes resentment starts and then 1011 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 4: like you don't really say the thing that needs to 1012 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 4: be said, and you know, you just kind of start 1013 00:52:54,120 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 4: to detach and and having to like say, Okay, something's wrong, 1014 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:04,239 Speaker 4: we need to fix this. Let's look at each what 1015 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 4: is going on? Tell me everything that you that you've 1016 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 4: been feeling, and I'm going to tell you everything. We're 1017 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 4: going to work through this because we're stuck together, and 1018 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 4: I'm in this with you for life, whether it's good 1019 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 4: moms or friendship, whatever it is, but friendship at this core, 1020 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 4: and there is no good moms if we don't have 1021 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,840 Speaker 4: a friendship. And so remembering that the only reason that 1022 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 4: any of this has happened is because of our friendship. Really, 1023 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:31,439 Speaker 4: I think put that made that the center again where 1024 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 4: I feel like it kind of got was getting kind 1025 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 4: of pushed to the side. 1026 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: And we're still in that right now. 1027 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 4: Like currently today, like in the process of really like 1028 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 4: dating ourselves, dating each other again and like prioritizing our 1029 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,360 Speaker 4: relationship where I think that most women probably listening have 1030 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 4: never done that, me included, I've never done that. 1031 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 3: You know, I've just I've just kind of like. 1032 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 1: Backed up a little bit. 1033 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna give this some space, and then, like 1034 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 4: you know, we'll come back. We don't really work through 1035 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 4: things with one another. 1036 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 1: It's so beautiful because I also think of both of 1037 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: you have beautiful daughters that have built a beautiful friendship 1038 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,840 Speaker 1: with one another, And what a gift for them to 1039 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,800 Speaker 1: see that as their foundation, like their baseline is like 1040 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: healthy friendship and seeing that you can be two individuals, 1041 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,239 Speaker 1: you can get it wrong. You can get it right. 1042 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean, you know, for lack of a 1043 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,480 Speaker 1: better word to overly simplify, it doesn't mean beef. It 1044 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 1: doesn't mean like now you have to dislike someone or 1045 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,720 Speaker 1: pick them apart. And that has just been the template 1046 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: for so many because friendship it is hard, and friendship 1047 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 1: with women it is hard. Friendship is often so much 1048 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: more sacred and long term than a lot of romantic relationships, 1049 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, and it's a lot of times it was 1050 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,280 Speaker 1: the first betrayal for so many of us as young people, 1051 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, even if it was the small one of 1052 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: like someone just stopped talk to you in elementary or 1053 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: stole your lunch, or you know, the bigger ones like 1054 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,359 Speaker 1: girls having beef with you at school or so yeah, 1055 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 1: how important and how how powerful for them?

So thank you for joining me 1101 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 3: on today's show. And as the last thing, I always 1102 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 3: ask that every guest share a little soul work or 1103 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 3: homework that the listening audience can take with them into 1104 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 3: the week after they hear this show. What is something 1105 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 3: that those listening can think about, maybe in relation to 1106 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 3: the freedom they give themselves. 1107 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: What's a tool? What's a prompt? 1108 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 3: I have a good one. I'm in tantra school. I'm 1109 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 3: almost done. 1110 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 5: I'm going to be a certified sexologists and Tanser practitioner. 1111 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 3: Wow, yes, I'm very excited. 1112 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: Least come back to talk about it. 1113 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 3: I will. I'll be done in one month. 1114 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 5: But one of the practices we do because you know, 1115 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 5: we talk about prioritizing our pleasure. And I realized we 1116 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 5: talked about this before we started about people in general. 1117 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 5: Not we're so conditioned to forget about prioritizing our own 1118 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 5: pleasure that we often think that it means it's an inconvenience, 1119 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 5: and so we'll do things without thought, just like oh 1120 00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 5: do you want the water like, oh, no, take it 1121 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 5: as it is? Oh do you want to look in 1122 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:27,959 Speaker 5: the mirror? 1123 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:28,160 Speaker 2: Now? 1124 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 3: We can just start, you know, and then you're mad 1125 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 3: or whatever. 1126 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 5: But if you just take like a couple of minutes 1127 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 5: every day to write down three things that brought you 1128 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 5: pleasure today, like a pleasure journal, so you can start 1129 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000 Speaker 5: to hone in on the things that make you feel 1130 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 5: good and you can start to choose them consciously, and 1131 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 5: then kind of just start to ask yourself, like, no 1132 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 5: matter what, like am I at a tense spot of 1133 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,479 Speaker 5: pleasure right now? Like what can I do? Like should 1134 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 5: I move my body? Would that be more comfortable? 1135 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 3: And then do it? 1136 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 5: Do I need ice do it, like do I want 1137 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,920 Speaker 5: a coffee right now? Would that make me at a 1138 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 5: tense spot? And then do it and then journal the 1139 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 5: things if it's like sexual pleasure, spiritual pleasure, what brought 1140 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 5: you pleasure in different realms today? 1141 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 3: And just kind of jot that down. 1142 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 1: Damn, that's good. I love that. 1143 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 3: Shout out to the authentic school of Tantra. That wasn't mine. 1144 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 5: That's my home, that's my homework because I'm going to 1145 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,960 Speaker 5: along with some masturbations some other things. But we can 1146 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 5: get into that later. 1147 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: Okay, come back, We're going to dive into the things. 1148 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 4: One thing that we as a rule at our retreat 1149 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 4: is there's no apologizing, right, There's no more apologizing. So 1150 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 4: I think for me this has been a practice that 1151 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 4: I've tried to adopt because I realized just as people, 1152 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:42,520 Speaker 4: especially as women. 1153 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 3: We apologize for everything. Like you start. 1154 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,800 Speaker 4: Taking mental note of how often you say you're sorry 1155 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 4: for things like someone fucks up your order and you're 1156 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 4: saying sorry to them, you know, or you bump into 1157 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,880 Speaker 4: someone accidentally and you're sorry. So I just want to 1158 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 4: encourage you to really just take a day and count 1159 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 4: how many times you say you're sorry, and try every 1160 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,040 Speaker 4: day to make that number go become less and less 1161 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 4: and less, and find other words to substitute sorry with, 1162 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 4: you know, because there are a lot of words. There's 1163 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 4: a lot of vocabulary words you can use to say, oh, 1164 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 4: excuse me, or thank you for your patience, you know. 1165 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 4: And it's a practice for me because I apologize all 1166 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 4: the time still even now, but I'm trying to it's 1167 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 4: a constant practice. 1168 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 3: I'm still trying to undo. 1169 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 4: And I want that for women too, because I think 1170 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,760 Speaker 4: that we should apologize less and take up more space. 1171 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 1: So hell yeah, yes, thank you.
