Was 119 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: really really difficult. I think a lot of people in 120 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: the fitness world felt that, right, there's not really an 121 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: alternative for that in person experience. There is no takeout 122 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: version of your workout class, and that's really tough. 123 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 4: You know. 124 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of trainers were really incredible in 125 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: a lot of studio you know, pivoted to online super quickly. 126 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I know we did, and it's still really amazing. But 127 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: after being in Chicago last week to you know, be 128 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: there for opening week of that studio, like there truly 129 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: is nothing like an in studio experience, and it just 130 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: it was devastating the last year really, you know, personally professionally, 131 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: like what do you what do you do? So yeah, 132 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: and then I had a baby in the middle of it. 133 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: That is the part that truly blows my mind. 134 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: Like, first of all, I got goosebumps just now when 135 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: you were talking about like the in studio experience, because 136 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: I agree it's. 137 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 3: And that was a huge barrier for. 138 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: So many during the pandemic, was trying to find any 139 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 2: semblance of normalcy and recreate that feeling for themselves, because 140 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: to be honest, it's it's impossible to recreate. So first 141 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: of all, like to get goosebumps, like thinking about that 142 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: in studio experience, which I have yet to experience again, 143 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: and then knowing you personally and thinking about you being 144 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: pregnant and dealing with all of the anxiety that went 145 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: hand in hand with all of these closures, all of 146 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: these frustrations. 147 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: Talk to me about what that was like for you personally. 148 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 4: To put it. 149 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Lightly, I was a mess. And I still struggle today 150 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: because I don't have all the answers. I don't know 151 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: what it looks like in six months. I can hope, 152 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: I can speculate, but I'm really struggling with what to do. 153 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: Even are people going to want to come back, you know, 154 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: getting people savings so I can't wait and then but 155 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: maybe they can, you know, maybe they're not comfortable coming 156 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: back into spaces yet, and like that's okay, I get that. 157 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: But at the same time, this is a business and 158 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: if we don't have revenue coming in, we're done. And 159 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: so it's such a challenge to you know, have those 160 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: feelings on one side, but then also really try to 161 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: be a leader for my team on the other side, 162 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: and you know, know that these people are still here, 163 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: they're still with me. They believe in what we do, 164 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: and it's just how are we going to do it? Really, 165 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: And we've never been here before, you know, we've built 166 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: it from nothing, really scrappy. But that was one location. 167 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 4: That was two. 168 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: This wasn't at the magnitude where we are now, where 169 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: we don't have the luxury of being so so small anymore. 170 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: But we're not quite big enough where we're. 171 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: Super super well capitalized. So it's hard. 172 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: I think everybody likes to compare us to We get 173 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: grouped with Berries, with Soul Cycle, you know, with all 174 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: of these huge brands, and like we have zero point 175 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: zero five percent of the capital they have in the bank, 176 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: and that's tough, you know. So the expectations from I 177 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: think former employees and clients are so so high, and 178 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's something I think we should be 179 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: really proud of because the brand has such incredible presence. 180 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: But yeah, and so give us an adequate timeline, just 181 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 2: so I can kind of put into context about when 182 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: you had your little boy and where things were with 183 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: the pandemic. 184 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: So I had Lee on June eleventh, so we were 185 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: in our fourth month of lockdown. We had been hopeful 186 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: for a September. 187 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,359 Speaker 4: Reopened. 188 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: Obviously that didn't happen, so we were like prime prime pandemic, 189 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: like smack dab in the middle when I had him, 190 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: And here we are almost till be eleven months next week, 191 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: so almost a year later, which is crazy to me. 192 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: So that in that experience, did you take any maternity leave? 193 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 3: I tried. 194 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 4: I was still around. 195 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: I was like, if you need me, I'm here. But 196 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, as far as like my regularly scheduled meetings 197 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: things like that, I was not, you know, there for 198 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. 199 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 4: It was. It was hard. 200 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: Had a really hard time. I think the first week 201 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: kind of like I don't know what to do. And 202 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you just kind of realized that 203 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: you don't really get these moments back with your kid, 204 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, like you don't get them back. 205 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 206 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: So I was actually reading Oh my god, now I 207 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: forget what the quote is, but my friend Madison posted 208 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: something and she was she also runs from business, and 209 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: she was someone was asking for like, how do you 210 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: like juggle everything? 211 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 4: And she's like, I don't. She has two kids. 212 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: She's like a two under two mom, and so she's 213 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: got her hands full. And she was like, she said 214 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: this quote and I'll have to look it up for 215 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: you and tell you the exact words later, but something 216 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: about like juggling balls, like if everything in your life 217 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: was like a well, your job, your family, your marriage. 218 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: Some of those balls are robber and some are glass, 219 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: like if you drop one of them in my bounce back, but. 220 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: There are some that won't, and so you just have 221 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 4: to know what these balls are made of. That didn't 222 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 4: sound right, But you get my point, right. 223 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: I know I know where you were going with that. 224 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 2: And that's a good point though, because, as you said before, 225 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: you don't get some of these some of these moments back. 226 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: So then I think the next logical question for you 227 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 2: would be, how have you been quote unquote juggling. 228 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,119 Speaker 4: Very very carefully. 229 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: It's really difficult, and you know, I mean, they just 230 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: announced in New York today actually that everything can reopen, 231 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: no restrictions on May nineteenth, and I was like, great, 232 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: but we don't have a team. I had to literally 233 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: fire everyone who worked for me, and I can't just 234 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: flip a switch. So I don't have a team. Really 235 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: right now, Like it's very very small, so I can't 236 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: just flip the lights on and be like, okay, come 237 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: on in. 238 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 4: There's you know, there's stuff that needs to be done. 239 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: And we didn't know when this was going to end, 240 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: so no, we didn't buy a ton of like nerv 241 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: thirteen filters, and now there are none. 242 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: So I love that. 243 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: You just like that just like rolled off the tongue 244 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: for you. Like someone's listening and they're like, what's a 245 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: Nerve thirteen filter? 246 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: They're not even like that great. It's just like someone 247 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: was like, this is the filter you want, and I 248 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: was like, but what that doesn't even like it doesn't 249 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: fit it. Anyways, this gets very technical, but long story short, 250 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: it's not right for every kind of air flow system. 251 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: So like if you don't have one, it doesn't mean 252 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: there's no airflas. 253 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: It's very complicated. Okay, anyways, oh my goodness. 254 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: So I don't you know, people are kind of like 255 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: getting a little like mad and frustrated. That's like, well, 256 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: what are you opening? It's like, I think the hardest 257 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: thing is is and I know studios who reopened when 258 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: they could, you know, in the faller summer and had 259 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: to close again, and because they had to rehire everybody 260 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: paid them to prep to open for two weeks, were 261 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: open for a week and then had. 262 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 4: To shut down again. 263 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: They did not have the funds to reopen again, so 264 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: we didn't do that, so we waited. So it seems 265 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: like we're not like trying to reopen, and it's just 266 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: really really Again, it all comes down to like these expectations, right, 267 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: like managing people's expectations, and when you come up against 268 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: like super well capitalized businesses, I think the perception gets 269 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: skewed a little bit. So it's been really hard for 270 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: me to like manage that too. Understand that, like my 271 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: team is human. There's nine of us, Like they're humans. 272 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: They cannot work around the clock. They cannot, And that 273 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: for me is like another one of these like if 274 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: we're just going to keep using this ball reference and 275 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: so I'm like, now feel really dumb that I brought 276 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: that out to because I was like, I don't just 277 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: want to keep saying the word balls all the time, 278 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: but you know those are that's one of the more 279 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: fragile ones, Like I don't want to lose key members 280 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: of my team, which has already happened because they are 281 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: so burnt out that they're just like I can't even 282 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: like get up in the morning because I'm so tired. 283 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: And like to your point about that, these are real people. 284 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: It's hard to find good people. 285 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: It's one of the things that every mentor I have 286 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: ever had has always told me. If you find the 287 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: right person, and they might not know or have experience 288 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: with all asked of a job yet, but they're a 289 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: good human, then you need to trust in that and 290 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: like go with that person over the person that may 291 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: not be the right personality fit for your business but 292 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: has X, Y and Z skill. So right now you're 293 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: certainly going through that when it comes to rejiggering and 294 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,479 Speaker 2: finding new people to help you reopen your studios. 295 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 4: And I think it's tough. Everyone wants more money. 296 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: Now. I would love to pay every one million dollars, 297 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: but I can't. So then it becomes, you know, you're 298 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: not paying me what I'm worth. You don't recognize when 299 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm worth. It's like it's truly not it. It's like 300 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't have the money. So you know, it's a 301 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: really really tough balance, and everybody there are so many 302 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: factors that go into this, right like everyone has gone 303 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: through a really, really tough year. 304 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: You're right, and you just mentioned the comparison to other 305 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: businesses in the space. Kind of easy to draw a 306 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: parallel there. When we come back to this concept of motherhood, 307 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 2: easy to compare yourself to other mothers. So for you, 308 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 2: after having your baby in June, talk to me about 309 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 2: what that experience was like for you. That comparison trap 310 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: because dear, like, I just think about all that other 311 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: stress that you had. 312 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: I mean I and we've talked about this previously on 313 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: our multiple episodes together. But I'm not like a skinny person. 314 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm not like I don't like working out. 315 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 4: I don't like it. 316 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: That's the whole reason why someven exists was because like 317 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: I love yoga. I hate every class I went to 318 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: because I felt so bad about myself because all I 319 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: was doing was comparing. The instructor was instructing me to 320 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: look like somebody else. I was being told what to 321 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: look like, and that for me was like, this is 322 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: not the point of yoga. I love yoga, And so 323 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: why somedn exists Because I was like, I need I 324 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: need darkness. I need to feel like I have freedom 325 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: and space, and I can be myself and I want. 326 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 4: To move to music. 327 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: I want to be motivated, and so it has like 328 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: the whole experience is created with all these kind of 329 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: like tricks, right, And because I get lumped into this 330 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: fitness you know group of people, I felt like this 331 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: very big pressure to bounce back. And it's been almost 332 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: a year and like I just I'm sorry. I'm not 333 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: going to give up like eating the food I like 334 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: to fit into some mold that people have decided that's 335 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be like, and like, yeah, would 336 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: I love to lose ten pounds? Hell yes, Like I 337 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: know at what weight I feel my best at, you know, 338 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: like I know that that's where I feel the most confident. 339 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: It's not about the number, it's about how I feel. 340 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: So for me, I know what that number is and 341 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: I know like that's where my clothes fit the best, 342 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: where I like look in the mirror and I'm like, hey, girl, 343 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: how are you? I know what it is that I want, 344 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: But I think there's an expectation on from other people 345 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: outside looking in for me in a sense to perform. 346 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 4: And that's really tough. 347 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: I think social media has been like is so interesting 348 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: because I think it's so wonderful because I've been connected 349 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: with so many people through it who I have become real, 350 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: real friends in my life and real support systems in 351 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: my life. But then there's this other side where it's 352 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: this constant, like. 353 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 4: Idea. 354 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: I so we I'll give you an example. We at 355 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: like write it four months. We we did sleep training. 356 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: We trained our baby to sleep. I hired a sleep coach. 357 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: Is incredible, and guess what, this mother sleeps through the 358 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: night because her child does. And I remember, like one 359 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: someone I know, when I said I'd let my baby cry. 360 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: She's like, you're not going to get him. And I 361 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: was like, no, he's fine, he's fine, Like I'm right here, sick. Really, 362 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: you're just gonna let him cry. I was like, he's 363 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: he's okay. I'm literally twenty feet away. But that's you know, 364 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: you have to give your kids and whoever the two. 365 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: And that's just what worked for us too, because. 366 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 4: I knew. 367 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: That I have this business that I have to focus 368 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: on too, and if I am not I need sleep. 369 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 4: If I'm not well rested, I'm useless. 370 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: I'm useless to my kid, I'm useless to my business, 371 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm useless to my partner. 372 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 4: I need that sleep. 373 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: I totally hear you on the the post baby number 374 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 2: weight place. I think that it has been challenging at 375 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: times with the you know beauty that is the body 376 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: positivity movement, to be made to feel like you're not 377 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 2: allowed to want to weigh less than you do I 378 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 2: And that's the other side, right, It's like, oh, I've 379 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: just been breastfeeding and now I'm back to my size. 380 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, well, I was so hungry when I 381 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: was breastfeeding. I gained it, like what it was story, 382 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: so hungry. I was like, I need a sandwich. You 383 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: don't know what feels good for me. How dare you 384 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: tell me that? Because I would like to drop ten 385 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: pounds because that's where I feel my best. That that's wrong. 386 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: You don't know what's right for my body. I don't 387 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: tell you what to do with yours. End of story. 388 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: It's all about that feeling, and that that's something I 389 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 2: can't reiterate enough in because I actually, like feel very 390 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: similar to how you feel right now in my body, 391 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: Like I know that I feel a little bit better 392 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: when I weigh a little bit less, and it's not 393 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 2: at all tied to that number. It's just about how 394 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 2: I feel in my own skin and just like feeling 395 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 2: more confident and not shying away from certain situations just 396 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: because like I don't feel my best. But I and 397 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 2: I think this a lot lately when I'm like going 398 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: through whatever I'm going through when it comes to like 399 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: dealing with my emotions when it comes to my move 400 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 2: and like just feeling at times like feeling alone or whatever. 401 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: Like they always say. 402 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: This to you to like remind you that like everything's 403 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: going to be okay, Like someone would die for your 404 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 2: worst days. Yes, and just because someone might quote unquote 405 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 2: die to have the body that I have now, like 406 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: it's still my body exactly. 407 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Like that's the point I find it so interesting. So 408 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: I have a partnership with ww and formerly weight Botchers 409 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: and listen, I thought I'm pretty big in college, Like 410 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: I grew up playing sports. I played sports until I 411 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: graduated high school. I was playing tennis, I was playing volleyball, 412 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: I danced, and I went to college. I'd never gone 413 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: to the gym before. I'd literally never gone to the gym. 414 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't like, you know, I wasn't like a I 415 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: wasn't like such a good an athlete that they were like, 416 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: you need to lift weights. I was like, you know, 417 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: I just ran around a lot. And so when I 418 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: went to college, I just didn't work out. And what 419 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: happened because I was not active, I gained weight, of course, 420 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: And so I used WW and I was like, unhealthy. 421 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: It was not healthy, the lack of movement in my life. 422 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: So I used it to understand my eating habits and 423 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: to move more, and I lost seventeen pounds. 424 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if I knew that you and I 425 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: both shared a WW college story. 426 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: I love it, not only and I love it for this. 427 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: It's not based on calories, right, It's based on point 428 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: So it's based like everyone thinks the points are based 429 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: on calories, it's not. It takes into consideration like if 430 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: you were on the old platform. You know, it's like 431 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: you're looking at the can. It's like total fat, total carbs, 432 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: total sugar, and calories all combined, so you're understanding what 433 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: kinds of foods you're eating. 434 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 2: So my question for you, coming off of this conversation 435 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 2: about WW and talking about how we feel best in 436 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 2: our bodies, is how have you rangled some of those 437 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: not exactly nice thoughts over the last handful of months, 438 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: as you've been struggling to get to a place where 439 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 2: you feel good in your body. 440 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 4: Again, I think it. 441 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: All comes down to patients and also just I've come 442 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: back to this thought a lot because I am very 443 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: critical of myself in many ways, so I constantly come 444 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: back to this, like you know, old saying where it's 445 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: like talk to yourself like you would your best friend, 446 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: Like if you not say that to your best friend, 447 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: and why why would you say it to yourself? For 448 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: me too, at least, what I've seen in the last 449 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: year is there have been more. 450 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 4: Women on women. 451 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: Attacks, like we have attacked each other so much in 452 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: the last year. It feels to me like there can 453 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: be such a lack of community where there needs to 454 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: be compassion. 455 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 4: And again, I think. 456 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: That goes back to expectations. You're expected to be the 457 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: perfect partner, the perfect mother, the perfect coworker, the empathetic boss, 458 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: the empathetic leader. You're not allowed to make hard decisions. 459 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: Every decision you make, someone has a comment to make 460 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: about it, like and you're expected to answer for it 461 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: and explain yourself when sometimes it's like it's just business. 462 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: I had to take all of these billion things into consideration, 463 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: and if I don't make this choice, there isn't going 464 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: to be a business. So and I'm so, you know, 465 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: I've been very fortunate that, you know, I have of 466 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: people in my life. I think kind of who can 467 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: you know relate to me on this level and like 468 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: we can share, you know, these frustrations. But I just 469 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: want to like shape the entire female population and say what, 470 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: what's why? Because I guarantee you all these dudes are like. 471 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 4: What are they doing? 472 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 3: How special is that though? 473 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 2: That you've had so many people in your circle who 474 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: have recently also had children. 475 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: It's amazing. I could not ask for anything more perfect. Again, 476 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: it's that support system, right, So it's like what do 477 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: I do? 478 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 4: What are you doing? Have you started ballads yet? What's 479 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 4: happening here? 480 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: And it's so with anything, right, I think it's all 481 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: about community and the people you surround yourself with and 482 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: the people you listen to, you know. I think it 483 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: goes back again to media and how we listened to 484 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: so many people's opinions that actually we don't know or 485 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: don't know us, and we put weight into those and 486 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: so it's been really empowering for me at least to 487 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: have women who I am close to who have also 488 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: had children, you know. And I think there were, like, 489 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I probably know like ten ten people 490 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: who I would consider friends who we all had babies 491 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: within like two months of each other. 492 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: And it was awesome. 493 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to give some love 494 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 2: to my sponsor at pickI Bars for supporting this week 495 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: of content.

Really, to experience a culture outside of 562 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: the one I had been raised in was game changing 563 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: for me. 564 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 4: It was so. 565 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to say humbling or like eye opening, 566 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: but it was you're more of a spectator, right, and 567 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: you're learning because you know, I didn't speak Japanese when 568 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: we moved there, and so for me, it was a 569 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,719 Speaker 1: lot of like watching and body language and how you 570 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: convey respect and joy or whatever it might be through 571 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, nonverbal language. 572 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 4: And coming back. 573 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: To the States after it was really just kind of 574 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: it was jarring. It was more jarring for me to 575 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: come back to the States than it was for me 576 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: moving to Japan. And I think a lot about that 577 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: and how I want to expose Lee and hopefully more children, 578 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: future children to different cultures, different ideas in the sense 579 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: that they're able to really respect them before having a comment. 580 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: And I think that goes a lot of things, right, 581 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: Like so many people are willing to comment, to make 582 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: assumptions to you know, I don't know, saying things a 583 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: certain way and past judgment because they're different than what 584 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: you know. And what I really want to pass on 585 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: to him is the understanding of kindness and just respect 586 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: for people as an as like individuals and not. You know, 587 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of just kind 588 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: of like lumping, you know, whether it be religions, cultures 589 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: into one group. 590 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 4: And that's that's where like a lot of. 591 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: This bias and you know, I think racism comes from too, 592 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: is just like these assumptions that we're taught to make 593 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: because it's easy. There's an openness that I think that 594 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: all children have and are born with that I want 595 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: to make sure that he routines and understands, you know, 596 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: the value of a smile, of a hello, of a 597 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: how are you of eye contact? That stuff is really 598 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: important to me. So that's you know, it's tough. It's 599 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 1: a lot of work. They watch, you know, they watch 600 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: everything you do, their little puppets, truly, so I'm also 601 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: trying my best to really lead by example. 602 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 2: I think about that a lot in my everyday life 603 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: when I think about how individuals may be perceiving me 604 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: in real situations beyond the narrative that I am in 605 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 2: control of over on social media. It's like, when I 606 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: walk into a room, how do you perceive me? And 607 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 2: am I being the person that I want to be 608 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 2: with my presence, with how I respond, with my compassion, 609 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: with my kindness. And it's something that I've done a 610 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: lot of thinking about over the last year or two, 611 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 2: just wanting to put forth the best version of myself. 612 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 2: And now, granted, obviously I say that knowing that, like 613 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 2: they are going to be the hard days where you're 614 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: not going to show up and just be the poster 615 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 2: child for kindness and courtesy always, but you can still 616 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 2: be kind while going through your own stuff. 617 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 4: For me, it's. 618 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: About realizing those moments too, when you're reactive and it's like, okay, 619 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm being able to say fuck, I'm really sorry, Like 620 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: I really just had a snap reaction to that, and 621 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That is not who I am, That's not 622 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: how I want to speak to people. And that's the 623 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: first step. Because people feel ashamed. People feel you know, 624 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: those actions, those reactions you look back and you're like, 625 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: I'm so ashamed of how I reacted that I I 626 00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: don't want to relive it again. 627 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't want to do it, you know, 628 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 4: so I think. 629 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 3: But sometimes it's so important to do it. 630 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: You have to even for yourself being uncomfortable and knowing 631 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: that there is space, because that's what you would want 632 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:16,479 Speaker 1: from somebody else. 633 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 4: Right. 634 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: That's what I think about all the time is how 635 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: would I want to be treated if I had just 636 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: reacted really quickly or something like that, Like, how would 637 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: I know that that person and I are okay? 638 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 2: Since becoming a mom, do you notice that you handle 639 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 2: situations any differently than before you were mom? 640 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 4: Oh? 641 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: I definitely have a little more patience than I did. 642 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: He's so this sounds really like weird, but he's so 643 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: little still, And to be honest, there haven't been a 644 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: don't really interact with a lot of people. I have 645 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: a poor, sweet pandemic baby who sees a new person 646 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: and is like, poor guy. 647 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 4: You know, there haven't been. 648 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: Like situations like that have been I think presented in person, 649 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: But in terms of when I'm talking to somebody new 650 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: or a new employee or someone who's new the team 651 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, there's more patience on my 652 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: end when I'm entering that conversation knowing that this is 653 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: the first time someone may be doing something or hearing 654 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: something right. Like. That's something you learn about kids, is 655 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: that everything is brand new to them, Like the when 656 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: they take like I don't know, when they sit up 657 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,479 Speaker 1: for the first time, they're like, but like the world 658 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: looks different from this view what's happening, and it freaks 659 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: them out, you know.
