1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to Katie's Crib, a production of Shonda Land Audio 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: in partnership with I Heart Radio. Hi everybody, I think 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: we've all been hearing a lot about the importance of 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: self care with the pandemic and all of its stressors 5 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: amplifying that need. And I don't know in my own 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: personal case. I can't meditate, I don't read anything except 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: my phone and the news, and I get more and 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: more stressed out. So I have called on a very dear, 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: longtime friend of mine by the name of Robin Eucalus. 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: She is a wellness coach. She's an author of best 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: selling books Go with Your Gut and Thin from Within. 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: She's been featured on The View, The Today Show, e News, Cosmopolitan. 13 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: She's gracing us with her calming energy today and every 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: day if you follow her on Instagram, which I do. UM, 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here. Robin, I miss you. 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: I miss you so much. Thank you for that beautiful intro. 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: And I was definitely giggling a little bit inside as 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: You're introduced me with this calm presence, because I'm pretty 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: sure my family are cracking up thinking she's calm. But 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: the truth is, when you grow up in a rather 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, jubilant Jewish family from Long Island. Somebody has 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: to be the calm one, I have to say of 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: everyone I know, and I have a wide net and 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: circle of friends and moms in the Katie Script community, 25 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: you truly are handling this pretty well, like and I 26 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: was like, I gotta get Robin On here to see 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: through us mosis or through any kind of tips if 28 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: I can feel that way, and I think we all do, 29 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: because not only is the pandemic really hard personally on 30 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: our relationships, on being mothers this incredible epic time that 31 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: we are seeing with all the racial injustice going on 32 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: in our society. I know that it a long journey 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: and it's not something that can be fixed overnight. And 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: so self care is a huge part of being able 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: to stay energized so that we can stay fighting the 36 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: good fight. And I'm already exhausted and that's awful, Like 37 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: we have so much longer to go. First, your mom, 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: how old is your daughter? I am a mom. I 39 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: have a four year old daughter. Her name is Navy. 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: She has red hair and blue eyes, and she is 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: a thousand percent spirit and spunk and all the things. 42 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: And now he's obsessed with her. Albi runs around going 43 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: Navy everything. I've had to sing him his good night 44 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 1: song is happy Birthday to Navy for like a good year. 45 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: Like he's obsessed with her, and he's like, well he's 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: he's like just saying happy birthday to Navy real quick. 47 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, just want can you oblige? And 48 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: there is a husband attached to that child as well. 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: You know, it's not just my husband, Scott is her father. 50 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: That's my little immediate family unit. And we don't have 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 1: another child yet. We have talked about it. I really 52 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: wanted a lot of space between them because I like 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: to just simplify as much as possible. I know what 54 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: my husband I are capable of. He is an entrepreneur, 55 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm an entrepreneur. We work wild hours, and I wanted 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: to be able to focus on her. And now we 57 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: are starting to talk about bringing another one into the mix. 58 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: But it's really just such an example of know yourself. 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: And you mentioned a lot about self care through this time. 60 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: One thing I really love to share about that is 61 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: self care is not as interesting as Goop and l 62 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: and all the magazines want to make it. It's actually 63 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: in its truest form, really boring. We tend to want 64 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: to make things exciting and a big ah ha. But 65 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: I feel what's kept me so calm through this time, 66 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: calm through mamahood with her is getting it in in 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: so many tiny little moments, in little practices. When you 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: hold a pen. If you're holding a pen and you're 69 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: writing and you're like all the tension and you're pulling 70 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: in your shoulders and you're like, I gotta get this 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: down or get this right, and you're squeezing that pen 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: that is pulling from your life force energy, You're you're 73 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: like actual foundational health. It's such a silly example, but 74 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: so many moments like that, when we're rushing to the card, 75 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: we're looking for our keys and we go to do 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: the dishes. It's absolutely dizzy. And so how many times 77 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: in our day can we take a breath, take a pause, 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: take a moment, not take even twenty minutes. Twenty minutes 79 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: is a lot for a moment. What that happens, And 80 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: that's definitely part of it. Because I feel this pressure 81 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: to like set up a space and make sure my 82 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: toddler can't get to me, and like I have to like, 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: create this whole moment for it, that it's probably making 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: it more stressful than it has to be. When I 85 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: really really special much pressure, much pressure, So I can't 86 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: handle that either. So it sounds like you have mindful 87 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: moments throughout the day right where you just actually focus 88 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: on exactly the task at hand in a really simplified, 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: grounded breath. You do a lot of breath work and 90 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: things like that. Um, are you a meditat or do 91 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: you meditate every day? So the joke is actually as 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: as I have meditation guide and meditation teacher on my title, 93 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: and I actually heavily dislike meditating. Um, just like I've 94 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: run half marathons, but I hate running. Like you know, 95 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: this is the typical case of that. And I said, 96 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: can I call myself that if I don't do it 97 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: every day? And I'm like, you know what I can, 98 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: because what I believe is there is a kind of 99 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: meditation for everybody and if we can break down the 100 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: walls the container of what it's supposed to be, Um, 101 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: you can make it your own. Yes, it would be 102 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: lovely to have twenty minutes in the morning and twenty 103 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: minutes at the end of the day. I encourage the 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: right kind of clients to get to that place. If 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: you can get up before your kid at five thirty 106 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: or six am or six thirty and that works for you, 107 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: do it. But I also believe that our life has chapters, 108 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: and if you're in the chapter with young kids or 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: whatever it is, your schedule in your time is really 110 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: not your own. My daughter was up all last night 111 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: and all off the night before because she just had 112 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: a little skin thing we had to take care of. 113 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: It's it's not going to be possible for me to 114 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: to wake up early know the chapter that you're in. 115 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: So what is doable right now? So for me, if 116 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: a meditation I'm using air quotes doesn't happen, can I 117 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: wake up and before I want to fling myself out 118 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: of bed and go pee And sometimes even forgetting I 119 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: do it on the toilet while I'm being It's just 120 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: placed my hand over my heart and take three breaths, 121 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: and that can be your meditation. And I trust that 122 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: every single one of your listeners is capable of doing 123 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: something like that. It's just the commitment and the reminding 124 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: and tuning into people that inspire you that remind you 125 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: to do those things. For yourself that it doesn't have 126 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: to be so dang hard and such a thing. And 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: so when I make meditation about that, yes I do 128 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: it every single day, but my road there. I originally 129 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: used to set a timer for one minute because that's 130 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: all I could get myself to sit for. This is 131 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: all I did for you. Helpful and so true because 132 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: I have to say, like this morning, I woke up 133 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: on my own a little bit before Albi did, and 134 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: I just like laid there and looked at the ceiling 135 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: and took a few breaths and just said to myself, 136 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to have a lot of energy this more 137 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: to take care of my son, because a lot of 138 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: mornings I don't. And even though I was exhausted, I 139 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: just said to myself, this morning is going to be 140 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: a good morning. And it really has changed the entire 141 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: scope of the morning, you know what I mean. And 142 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: it was only because I took, like you said, three 143 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: breaths and like focus my mind a little bit before 144 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: I went just go hard and get the kid, get 145 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: the milk at the baba, get your coffee, look at 146 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: your phone, what's the schedule, blah blah blah um. I 147 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: also love that you meditate with Navy hanging off of you, 148 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: I have no choice? Is that allowed? People would really 149 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: ask that, like, how do you tune your child out? 150 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: First of all listeners, Robin and maybe have an absolutely 151 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: gorgeous relationship. She is a very independent spirit, Um and 152 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: you I love.

There's not never a day or a 161 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: section of time off from the opinions and the focus 162 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: and the yeah, and you're just she's intense and I 163 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: and I I just think you do a really good 164 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: job of of holding her up for exactly who she is, Um, 165 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: within boundaries and safety and things like that.

If you see my child with me cooking 172 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: or baking, it's because she sees what I'm doing and 173 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: she asked to jump in. For everyone that you see 174 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: like that, there's five more that she wants nothing to 175 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: do with. And I never people said to me, we're like, 176 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: how do you get your kid to cooperate for social 177 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: MEDIA'M like, I don't. She's also saying there are instagrams 178 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: where she's like saying poop a thousand times while she's 179 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: helping you cook because she thinks is hilarious and I 180 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: think it's hilarious. Um so okay, that's a great disclamer. Yeah, 181 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: so just a disclaimer with that. And then as far 182 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: as her meditating with me, what I try and do 183 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: is at least one to two times a week, I 184 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: have a sacred meditation for myself that it's once during 185 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: the week and it's once on the weekend. Sometimes I 186 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: plan those, sometimes I don't. Let's say it needs to 187 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: happen at eleven thirty am, I said an alarm on 188 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: my phone. I got my journal and I say, I 189 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: know I need this. It's like running. I would spend 190 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: more time avoiding it than actually doing it, but eventually 191 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: I get there. So I do make sure I have 192 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: quiet alone ones twice a week. Those are my chickens. 193 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: Those are my how are you feeling? How are you doing? 194 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: And that's also part of you know you're saying, I'm 195 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: a calm mom, calm human com parents. That feeds it. 196 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: I don't wait for the crisis to get out my 197 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: notebook and create that time for myself. It is a 198 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: commitment and it's discipline. It means telling my husband, you know, 199 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: you guys are doing something really cute in the living 200 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: room and I'm gonna miss it because I know I 201 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: need to do this for myself. The other times, when 202 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: you do see her hanging off of me, or maybe 203 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: she's really participating, or maybe she's like punking me, Um, 204 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: I try and go into it with no expectations. Isn't 205 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: that such the lesson for parentings. It's such good good luck. 206 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: And one thing too, I do want to say, is 207 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: I invite her in. It's not oh it's a mommy 208 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: and Navy activity. It's this is what I'm doing, and 209 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm clear with my words. I'm going to meditate for myself. 210 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: Now I need to breathe and be in my body. 211 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: Would you like to join me? If you're going to 212 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: join me, you can sit quietly with me, or you 213 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: can play with your something over here. Um, this is 214 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. And she'll say I want to 215 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: join you, or she'll say no and run out of 216 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: the room and slam the door. Um. But she joins 217 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: me then, also knowing just because she said yes does 218 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: not mean she's going to behave in a way that 219 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: I would appreciate that she does. Sometimes she sits and 220 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: ohms and it's beautiful, and sometimes you know, she's exactly 221 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: on your hair and literally pulling on my hair, and 222 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, what what can I what 223 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: can I just be with what is today? It's like 224 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: we get that huge message constantly being with with what is, 225 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 1: being with what is letting go, letting go the exercise 226 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: and the meditative moment of guidance that I'm getting in 227 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: there is not that I transcended and that I went 228 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: to bliss and that I was breathing. The gift is 229 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: that I was able to breathe through and let go 230 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: of the expectation or the circumstance that was happening around me, 231 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: And then that means that's the muscle that I then 232 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: trained that's then going to serve me when she hits 233 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: the fan later on in the day or that weekend, 234 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: et cetera. Unbelievable. That's like, see, it's so worth it, 235 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: even though I would be sitting there being like, oh, 236 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: this meditation is ruined. I didn't get to the falling 237 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: off point. But really the lesson is, don't have that expectations. 238 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: Be here now. It is what it is, which you 239 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: then can take to parenting the rest of the day 240 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: and the week. You're also really good at boundaries, which 241 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: I feel like is also incredibly important during pandemic um 242 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: because we have nowhere a lot of moms don't have 243 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: places to go and stay at home. Moms a lot 244 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: of times don't have anywhere to go, regardless of pandemic. 245 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: But I think more than ever, we can't get to 246 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: a playground, we can't get to a mall, we can't 247 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: get anywhere. I feel more guilt than I've ever had 248 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: because my son feels more attached to me than he's 249 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: ever had because he's never had me this much, and 250 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: so we're having really difficult time when he has to 251 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: have time with Daddy. I mean, it's just the transitions, 252 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: but it's rough. Um. So I'm curious how you've been 253 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: setting boundaries up for yourself and for your time and 254 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: your work. Yeah, so first knowing like this is a 255 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: wild time, it is an exception, even if it goes 256 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: on for another year, even if it's two years. In 257 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: the scope of life, I like to tell myself it's 258 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: a lot of permissions and a lot of reminders God will, Like, 259 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: life is a long time. And so if this is 260 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: a chapter where things can feel like a struggle, where 261 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: boundaries are not clear, where you don't feel like you're 262 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: crushing it, it's okay. It doesn't mean you're less of 263 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: an amazing mom, less of a great human, not you know, 264 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: doing your self care. It's like, Okay, this is a 265 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: wild period of time. At some point it will shift, 266 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: and how much grace can you give yourself in that 267 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: process in addition to that doing as much as you 268 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: can around it. Some people work really well with schedules 269 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: or routines, So it's like getting really honest. If you 270 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: have a partner at home or friend or someone that 271 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: can help you that you feel comfortable with, here's the 272 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: day of the weeks in my time, where like, if 273 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: I haven't had a moment to myself, it starts to 274 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: get off the rails um, you know, getting those on 275 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: your calendar, scheduling them out in advance, and if they 276 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: don't happen or scheduling doesn't work for you, I'm not 277 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: a big like you know, everybody's cooperating at the time 278 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: that I need them to. You have to just remind 279 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: yourself constantly, like I'm a priority in my space in 280 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: my time, a priority and not from a place of 281 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: judgment or panic or worry or fear. But hey, it's 282 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: five o'clock. I haven't had a minute for myself. Let 283 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: me think about my evening and where can I get creative? 284 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: Where can I do even less? Where can I you know, 285 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: even if you're a child maybe crying for you, and 286 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: you can still step away. You just trust, like I 287 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: can trust myself, I can trust what I need in 288 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: this moment, because the biggest conversation most of the time 289 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: is going to be with you and your own emotions 290 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: and the way that you're judging or feeling about yourself. 291 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: And that's the one to have. That's the one you 292 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: need to have because really, like you know, your kid 293 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: is safe and clothed and sheltered and loved period, regardless 294 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: of whether or not you're letting him or her cry 295 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: or not have the treat they want, or not have 296 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: the TV time and the meltdowns are happening. It's like, 297 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: my kid knows he's loved, even if I'm being a dick. 298 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: You might have to say that in your mind. Like 299 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: what I love to say to during I don't call 300 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: him tantrums, but um intense emotions, big emotions, big swinging feelings. 301 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: I say to myself, you know, on a good day, 302 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: right when I've done all the things that I've slept 303 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: in this that I say, oh, look at my child. 304 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: She is so healthy. My child is so healthy. She'd 305 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: feels so comfortable expressing all the opinions and all of 306 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: her feelings. Look how healthy my child is. So it's 307 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: it's that mindset, and it's just what that does is 308 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: it releases the tension in your body. It brings you 309 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: back to your rest and digest your parasympathetic system. That's 310 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the system that is responsible for you calming the f 311 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: down instead of being in fight or flight, because you know, 312 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: when you have a conversation from fight or flight, or 313 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: you have a conversation even with yourself, right, there's no chance. 314 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: So this is again, how many little teeny moments in 315 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: your day can you take a breath? Can you tell 316 00:15:49,400 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: yourself it's going to be okay. One thing I struggle 317 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: with so much in parenting is like calling myself like 318 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm so not a Pinterest mom like crafts, and there 319 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: is not a single okay ready for this everybody. There's 320 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: not a single printed photo of my child anywhere in 321 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: my home. We are the same person in so many ways. 322 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: I don't have anything and I'll be nothing, never printed 323 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: one up. Like I know, I'm terrible. I hate this 324 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: has been a real challenge, like in pandemic times. I've 325 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: talked to my therapist about this because it's like how 326 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: many walks around the block can I do with my son. 327 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: I'm not a mom like you that does crafts. I 328 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: don't like planning workbooks or curriculum like I would love 329 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: nothing more than to send my kid to school and 330 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: trust someone else to do those things with and give 331 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: him those opportutions. I'm a mom that's a producer. I 332 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: like to organize schedules in time and keep the house 333 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: together and be there for him. But I don't like 334 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: to initiate like massive play. That's just not my strong suit. 335 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: And I feel like I'm going to kick ass when 336 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: he's like a teenager and everything's like like emotional and 337 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: like talking and chill like that, and you're not either, 338 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: which you maybe feel so much better because I think 339 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: you're a great mom. You see and they're okay, and 340 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: they're okay. But I would say too, within that, like 341 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: find something that you do enjoy, you know what I mean, 342 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: if you want to put on plays with him, go 343 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: through your shoes in your closet, or we love that. 344 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: I love anything that's like an organizational thing, and I 345 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: love reading readers. Of course, you just you have to 346 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: find the things and you have to trust they're getting enough. 347 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: And then I will say one thing in Pandemic that 348 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: I've tried to get stronger at and it it has 349 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: served us, is letting her lead. Just sometimes maybe it's 350 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: it's just could be once a week where it's like, hey, Navy. 351 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: What do you want is She's like, I want to 352 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: play dollies, and everything in me is going I don't 353 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: want to play dollies. I don't want to play. But 354 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, sure, and just play the 355 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: dang dollies with her for an hour because then, guess what, 356 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: she's way more crop cooperative. The rest of the day 357 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: goes to bed eas and not that it's an either 358 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: or and you always get what you put in and kids. 359 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: I was so with her yesterday. I was like, she's 360 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: just gonna have today is gonna be a day where 361 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: she has my full focus. And then some oh we 362 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: were in the courtyard playing with the kids, and she said, 363 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: nobody's cheering for me. And then she said, and now 364 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: my entire day is ruined. And I say, and I'm 365 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: literally like, I worked really hard to be a really 366 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: good mom today and just focus on you and be present, 367 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: and you're telling me that none of that matters anymore, 368 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: And like she's far so that being said, you can 369 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: still do all the things and they'll still slap you 370 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: in the face, whether it's literally I've gotten whacked in 371 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: the face, are emotionally whacked in the face. You just 372 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: that's why it's like, have fun, do the best you can, breathe, 373 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, give yourself a break. And I'm telling you 374 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: all of this because I'm telling myself this. It is 375 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: a practice. This is never something that I'm like, oh, 376 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: I did it. I'm good at at now, but I 377 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: certainly exercise those muscles every single day. It's it's so like, 378 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: what what's the garden you're watering? Right? Is it the 379 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: one of guilt and shame? And I wish I could 380 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: this or could that? Or you just saying you know what, 381 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: we're okay, I'm okay, breath in, bread out. You do 382 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: so much focus on gut and belly health, which I 383 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: think also relates to mental health. We're trying to take 384 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: care of ourselves during this pandemic, and everyone's joking about 385 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: gaining pounds. People are home, often they're going to their 386 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: kitchen to get a snack because people are eating their feelings. 387 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Tell me about how your gut and belly have been 388 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: during this pandemic and what advice you can give to 389 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: the rest of us, because Adam and I have seen 390 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: some dark ship during this time. If you look at 391 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: my husband's Instagram and him making pretzels and donuts from 392 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: scratch and like, what is he doing to me? We're 393 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: going to be rolled out of the house in two years, 394 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: um of me advice, Yes, so much. Yeah, so oh 395 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: my god. So first disclaimer again, I love crap food. 396 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: So I'm one of these people call me healthy wellness 397 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: experts and blah blah blah blah blah. I'm like, you 398 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: could give me a corn dog any day. I will 399 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,479 Speaker 1: eat that. Yeah. I made you a case ofda once 400 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: and you were like, this is the best thing I've 401 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: ever eaten. So people think I eat perfectly, I don't. 402 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: I love crap food. My father, Um was a chronic 403 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: overeater and dieter, and I really struggled a lot connecting 404 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: to him and my own journey and overeating, always being 405 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: on the next diet, constantly comparing my thighs to everybody else. 406 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: Need to change my body, change my body, change my body. 407 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: I've worked a lot on that over the years. I 408 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: will say my road to pregnancy actually did heal a 409 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: big layer of that for me, in the sense that 410 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: when I was preparing my body for you know, future child, 411 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: I went and got my panels on, and where is 412 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: my mercury levels and doing all these things, and I 413 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: realized that, oh, I'm making this home as optimal as 414 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: possible for this future baby to hopefully grow in. But like, hey, hello, 415 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: I live here, Like how am I taking here myself 416 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: for me? So that was another layer of the shift. 417 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: That being said, I still love and eat all the 418 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: every different kind of food. So my biggest well, two 419 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: things I want to say about this one is I 420 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: still really believe that it is most of the time 421 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: what you eat, not some of the time. So this 422 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: might be a good time to make your most of 423 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: the time as strong as you can. And it can 424 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: be really simple. Now we have hopefully more access to 425 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: vegetables produced healthy proteins. Um I am a gut health expert. 426 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: I'm always going to preach about raw fermented Sara crowd 427 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: and raw fermented veggies and getting some of that into 428 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: you're helping the bacterial conversation in your body. I think 429 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: we're absolutely not talking about enough in this pandemic is 430 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: understanding that a virus is a conversation with your body, 431 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: and your body needs to be a willing host to 432 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: invite that conversation in. So the more that you can 433 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: take care of your gut health, of your health in 434 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: any way. That yeah, exactly. Our immune tissue lies in 435 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: our digestive system. That again of our immune tissue, that 436 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: system lies in your digestive system. With our kids too, Yes, 437 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: we're born that way. Yeah. So but they're okay, they 438 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: work out. They work just like you can just eat 439 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: like white toast and cheddar crackers for the first timemester 440 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: of your pregnancy and it doesn't affect you or the baby. 441 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: It's fine. Um so. Yeah, So when we're taking care 442 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: of our gut health, our digestive health, probad experimented foods, 443 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: healthy fats, things like that, we are taking care of 444 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: our immune systems. So I would say, do the best 445 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: you can with that, you know, keep it really simple. 446 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: I outlined something called the rule of five plate in 447 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: my book then from within if you can't get the book, 448 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: that's also on my blog. I like to give a 449 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: lot of resources and always as much as possible. Um 450 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: to of course my pleasure. Um So, cooked vegetables, making 451 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: trays of roast of vegetables. Again, make it simple, it 452 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: does not have to be complicated. So you're most of 453 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: the time food doing the best you can you're some 454 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: of the time food. My point that I want to 455 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: make about that is this is a pandemic. We've never 456 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: been here before in our lifetimes. Who the heck am 457 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: I to say to not have your pretzel oreo, whatever 458 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: configurations that you're eating during this time. I just have 459 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: to trust, like, eat the dan cookies. I am like 460 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: fifty percent cookies at this point. It's fine if I'm 461 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: doing the other things. I think we've been most of 462 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: the time that we can trust that it's going to 463 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: be okay. Um. I'm friends with Ruby Warrington, who wrote 464 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: the book Sober Curious, and she talks a lot about 465 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: not necessarily um, you know, total sobriety, but really stepping 466 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: away from drinking for other reasons. Um. And people were 467 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: asking her, you know, how do you feel about everybody 468 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: drinking during this time? And I was drinking way more 469 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: during this time. Oh my god, is very day. It's 470 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: every day. And not that she's not judgmental at all. 471 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: I thought she would have said, you know, it's it's 472 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: bad or it's terrible that we're doing this, and I 473 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: wish we were turning to other vices. But instead, she 474 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: shared on her Instagram her name against Ruby Warrington's She's awesome. 475 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: She shared, who am I to tell people how to 476 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: handle a time like this with job security, black lives matter, 477 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: and with an election like this is not going away 478 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: anytime soon, everybody, so whenever, the stress is not going 479 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: away any time soon. And so that's why I'm so 480 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: happy you're here, because we have to to the simple, 481 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: the simple things that make us feel better. It's like, okay, 482 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: most of the time, if you can be pushing vegetables 483 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: and proteins, great, that also means you can have the cookie, 484 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: you can have the wine, whatever, like let's to survive. 485 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: But also through the day with motherhood, if there are 486 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: moments where you can just take a breath, put up 487 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: a boundary, meditate with your kid next to you. No 488 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: matter what the ship show is, it's just like be 489 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: there for it. Oh, I wanted one thing came to mind. 490 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: I was thinking about one time we were in the 491 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: playroom in New York City. You guys, we live been 492 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: the same apartment building in New York City.

And that's my son to a t, 505 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: like my son does has his own agenda, Like I 506 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: might set up a plate date and that kid might 507 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: walk like this has been a social distance someone a 508 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: kid friend might come over in our front yard for 509 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: an hour and he's screaming no from the minute the 510 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: kid walks in because he's not to sharing his stuff 511 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: right now. He doesn't want other children in his space. 512 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: And I am fucking horrified. Okay, Like, my my social 513 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: niceties self is a mess. Help me? What how do you? 514 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: How do you dig deep and are strong for judgment 515 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: and mom guilt? Yes? So um, you need to rye 516 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: method yourself. You would say this to yourself, Katie, like, 517 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: oh hey, Katie, I see that you're really uncomfortable right 518 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: now that you want to judge yourself, but can you 519 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: just accept what is, take a deep breath, maybe share 520 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: some funny humor sentiments with the other mom, and trust 521 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: Albie that this is what he needs and that it's 522 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: all going to be okay. So I would have that 523 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: conversation with myself and over time in environments like the 524 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: playroom or the playground it I actually kind of think 525 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: it's funny. I've been known like I could see navy 526 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: and this and this is within reason, right. There's never 527 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: physical you may not tell, he may not be mean, 528 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: there's no none of that. And also too if she 529 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: doesn't want to play and say please be kind with 530 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: your words. There's definitely things that are okay and not okay. Um, 531 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: but I've been known when I see Tyler's working it 532 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: out that I pretend like I've seen it, but I'm 533 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: looking away or I'm like conveniently having a conversation with 534 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: someone else. So a lot of moms other may think 535 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm like almost don't pay attention or this, but I'm 536 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: actually overpaying attention and I'm doing it on purpose. So whatever. 537 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: That's when you've got to get a little bit of 538 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: the like say something to yourself, say something to the 539 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: other mom, but not to put your child down, like, oh, 540 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: this is so hard. Why can't they just this, Like 541 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: let's watch ourselves for that, because my mom used to 542 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: do that to me. It didn't feel good. It didn't 543 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: feel good. They just are who they are in those 544 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: moments and we can't It doesn't make them right. They're 545 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: not gumby. You can't mold them, and you have to 546 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: just trust that if you can breathe and just take 547 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: a step back and find some hu we're in, finding 548 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 1: some lightness that this is for the better of your 549 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: child and for the environment, and think when they're older 550 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: that they can feel confident. That's like, you know what, 551 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be social right now, Maybe I need 552 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: to be right. Sometimes there are you need to go 553 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: to the event even if you don't want to, but 554 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: maybe you don't, and they need to really learn how 555 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: to take care of themselves, and so I'll be he 556 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: knows how to take care of himself in that moment. 557 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, this isn't okay. Obviously there's some funky 558 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: areas here too with not sharing and being under socialized. 559 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: That we're going to have to shake out. But again, 560 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: even going into that conversation, can you have grace? Can 561 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: you just trust, breathe baby steps and just continue to 562 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: do the best that you can. Amazing. We're going to 563 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: have such a treat today you guys, Robin. I want 564 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: you to take us through like a little meditation, but 565 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: honestly a realistic mom one. Okay, like not a fucking 566 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: in No one's got time for this. It will be 567 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: like three minutes, like like promise if there's like a 568 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: three minute one. But before we do that, is there 569 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: anything else that we want to talk about besides guilt boundaries? 570 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: What we're putting in our bellies are our bellies and 571 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: bodies to process this this insane time. The only thing 572 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: that that came through and this is me just trusting 573 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: my intuition and whatever comes through is just to remind 574 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: ever the biggest gut trust I've ever known. It's true. 575 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: Like you're just like, so you know yourself so well, 576 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm such a libra like maybe it's this, maybe it's that, 577 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: but that's my brain. See okay, So in this I'll 578 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: take you through the little process. So you asked me 579 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: a question, where in my head a bunch of things 580 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: dropped in. But what I heard from deep within is 581 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: this is what wants to be shared, and so I 582 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: get push it away, or I can say nope, I'm 583 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: just gonna trust and so again, exercising that muscle of 584 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: whatever it is that's supportive for you. Every time you 585 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: feel or hear or sense this little wave of a voice, 586 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: a sentence, a piece of clarity, listen to it and 587 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: you will strengthen it, and then you'll hear it more 588 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: and more and more. You can still have the liber 589 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: back and forth conversation in your head. Oh my head 590 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: is a very busy place it is. It is got's 591 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: like are you where are you in your body? And 592 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: your molly, are you in your head? I'm like, I'm 593 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: in my head right now, go away. Um, So just 594 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: trusting and so what came through It's it's very simple. 595 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: I could judge myself and say, well, this isn't enough 596 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: to share, but I'm gonna trust that whoever is listening, 597 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: this is exactly what you need to hear. Is going 598 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: back to those basics when we talk about health and 599 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: we talk about wellness. When you first wake up, are 600 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: you having a huge glass of water? Are you flushing 601 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: your system when you're making your morning this, Are you breathing? 602 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: Are you in your body? Are your feet underneath you 603 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: when you go to bed at night? Are you brushing 604 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: the day away? Maybe taking an extra shower or a 605 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: salt bath, or literally physically. I'd like to take my 606 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: hand and just brush down my body and imagine all 607 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: the motions, all the experience of everything that had that 608 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: that happened that day, and just brushing it away. Are 609 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: you eating fresh food, vegetables, water, Are you speaking kindly 610 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: to yourself? You know? Are you taking your immunity supplements? 611 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: Are you taking a probiotic? You know? How simple? Can 612 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: you make it so that you can feel supported and 613 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: you can get out of your head? And those should 614 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: I shouldn't I But she's this, and she's that. It's 615 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: really tricky right now, and with the school transition or 616 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: the non school transition, we've got to get into our 617 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: bodies and into our bellies and trust that they've got you. 618 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: And if you feel the I'm worried, I feel fearful. 619 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. It's like, just find 620 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: a moment of peace. Let's do that. Now. We're just 621 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: gonna start so just okay, absolutely not necessary, but if 622 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: you can and you feel safe to do so in 623 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: your space, go ahead and close your eyes and don't 624 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: do anything yet. No editing, no adjusting, No oh I'm 625 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: tense or I should be breathing more. Just take a 626 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: moment to be with you in the exact space that 627 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: you're here in right now, and maybe you've got a 628 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: little one on your hip or someone calling for you. 629 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: Just let that flow in and let it flow out. 630 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: There's nothing you need to do with it. You don't 631 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: need to change it or shift it. The visual that 632 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 1: just came to me is the tide from the ocean 633 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: coming in. There's no way that you could push against 634 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 1: that tide and stop it from coming in. So just 635 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: let that water come up on the shore and go 636 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: back into the vast ocean.

Three 668 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: final breaths in this space before we close on your own, 669 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: make them quiet and soft or yummy and big. Last one, 670 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: and when you're ready, gently opening your eyes coming into 671 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: your space, I like to give my heart a little rub, 672 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: say thank you, thank you for being here, thank you 673 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: for beating for me.
