I love connecting with everybody via 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: zoom and seeing everyone's faces, even though some of you 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: think just be turning your camera off. 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: Hello, people, don't be doing the hair every day, okay. 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: Bitch, I'd be up. We've been looking crusty on there. 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I was thinking that I was thinking about just like 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: the amount of whatever the fuck we've showed up on 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: the podcast. It's just range like some days it just 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: doesn't happen, and that's fine too, confidence but getting confidence. 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 2: But one of the things that I wanted to include 47 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: on the challenge was the talking out loud to yourself 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: when you're talking shit, but also doing something kind for 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: a stranger or just saying something to a stranger, because 50 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 2: I think that also is kind of like I think 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: people struggle with that, and I think that that can 52 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 2: help build confidence, Like just saying hey, how you doing, 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: or like just offering your help to someone that like 54 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: maybe wouldn't ever ask for your help kind of just 55 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: helps you feel confident in like your abilities to support people, 56 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: your ability to show up for people. And then hopefully 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: we're also talking about building karma, like because you know, 58 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: if you listen to our episode with k Cola, karma 59 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: doesn't care. And I think it's really important that we 60 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: build our karma for twenty twenty two because some of 61 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: y'all hoses karmas is fucked up and you need a reset. 62 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: You know. 63 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: Okay, okay. 64 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: You know the funny thing about like confidence is it's 65 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: like it's really the term like fake it till you 66 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: make it, Like how many overly confident people do you 67 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: know that are mediocrely talented, and you're like, wow, you 68 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: just tricked me in believing that this rap was good. 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: It's just like it happens all the time. But it's 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: like literally, if you believe it, everybody around you will 71 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: also believe it. I mean obviously, like hone in on 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: your craft for real, but confidence like is not an illusion, 73 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: but it is like this invisible I don't know, Like 74 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for, Like invisible, Well. 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: It's intangible. You can't see it. You can just feel it, right, 76 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: You can feel when someone is confident. You can feel 77 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: that the room shift when someone who is at least 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: portraying themselves to be confident walks into a room. And 79 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: it's true, like I think, I think part of the 80 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: I think like the tools and like the foundations of confidence, 81 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: especially if you're very, very insecure or you don't feel 82 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: confident at all, is kind of faking it till you 83 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: make it, until you convince yourself and then one day 84 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: you wake up and you're like, I am that bitch. 85 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: And it doesn't like, as long as you believe it 86 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: is really all that matters.

I mean that's why I 336 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: started this challenge late in January, because I figured niggas needed. 337 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: A second I was thinking, now, I was like, good thing. 338 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: She waited to the third. 339 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, everyone's still drunk or still contemplating 340 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: if they want to not be drunk. In January, so 341 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: and me included, I literally had a whole bottle of 342 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: wine in my house, and I was like, this should 343 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: just be hard liquor. 344 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: I feel like every mom needs wine and maybe not tequila. 345 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: But this is the balance. This is this is the 346 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: life that I live in my head trying to balance 347 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: but just can't work it out. 348 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: Everyone's balance looks different, you know what I mean. Like, 349 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: my balance is not your balance, Yours are not mine. 350 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: It's it's all different. So we're all different people. 351 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: Anyway, we pulled a card today. 352 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: We did. Actually I sold a card and I'm terrified. Guys. 353 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: It's the Devil card, which I don't know what this means, 354 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: but we shall find out. 355 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: Let me see is that like the devil and then 356 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: like two women at his. 357 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: Feet with yeah, two women with chains around their neck. Wait, no, 358 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 2: it's a guy and a woman with a chain. Around 359 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: their neck and they're chained together. 360 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Oh wait, okay, I guess it's ready to listen to this. 361 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: The devil card represents your shadow or darker side. This 362 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: is for me and the negative forces that can strain 363 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: you and hold you back from being the best version 364 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: of your You may be at the effect of negative habits, dependencies, behaviors, 365 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: sought patterns, relationships, and addictions. You have found yourself trapped 366 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: between the short term pleasure you receive in the longer 367 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: term term pain you experience. Just as the lover's card 368 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: speaks duality and choice, so does the devil. However, with 369 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: the devil, you are choosing the path of instant gratification, 370 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: even if it is at the expense of your long 371 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: term wellbeing, like being hungover. In effect, you will have 372 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: sold your soul to the devil. Wow, this is really 373 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: The devil card often appears when you have been tricked 374 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: into thinking you have no control over your shadow self 375 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: or these negative forces, and that you can never break 376 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: free from their hold, and you believe you need it 377 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: and you must have it, even if it means going 378 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: against what you know to be right to obtain it. 379 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: Deep down though you know it's to your determent, and 380 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: you're only doing yourself and often others at disservice when 381 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: you cave into these lower needs and desires. To break 382 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: free of these negative patterns, you need to acknowledge the 383 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: hold they have over you and impact that they have 384 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: having over your life. For example, the first step of 385 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: alcoholics anonymous, what the fuck is an admission? We admitted 386 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 1: we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable. Okay, 387 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: When the devil shows up in the Tari reading, see 388 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: it as an opportunity to bring these negative influences into 389 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: your conscious awareness so you can then take action to 390 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: free yourself from their holds. Kind of like a January challenge. 391 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: This literally, yeah, it's perfect. 392 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,239 Speaker 1: Shine your light on the negative patterns that you have 393 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: been standing in your way for so long, and over 394 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: time you will loosen the grip that they have on you. 395 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: Given that the devil is a major arcana card, it 396 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: is unlikely that you will be free from your addictions 397 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: and dependencies overnight. It may be a reoccurring pattern for you, 398 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: and it will take a tremendous amount of willpower and 399 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: strength to free yourself from their influence. But know this. 400 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: It is possible, and it is up to you to 401 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: make it happen. So there is I do have hope 402 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: to stop drinking in the late hours of the night. 403 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: Apparently the devil will set you free. 404 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: Baby, how long time? Oh? The devil can also represent 405 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: sexuality in your wild side. You may be exploring bondage 406 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: fetishes in your deepest, darkest. 407 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: Fantast is yours, babe, this is your card. 408 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: Okay huh. If you can do this within a safe, 409 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: sacred space, it can be very enriching experience. However, it 410 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: has the potential to turn into something that may be 411 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: unsafe or detrimental to your well being in the long term. 412 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: So again, set clear boundaries, choose your partners wisely, and 413 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: have your safe words ready to go. 414 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 2: Bitch, dick tacks, dick tacks, bing bong whatever is not 415 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: what the kids are doing. I don't know. 416 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: They don't do that ever again. 417 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: Please don't ever do that again, big mong big dogs. Stop. 418 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: I don't like that. 419 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 2: I have no idea what the bing bong is. 420 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: I've heard it. I don't know what it means. 421 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: I don't know either, I just heard that the bing mo 422 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: people say, keep day saying it aggressively, really loud. Stop. 423 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Well that was rather intentional for January. Maybe for me, 424 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: I need to manage my dark side so that I 425 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: don't drink and then they come out like wild thangsky. 426 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: I could do that. Thanks God, you're. 427 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 2: Already doing it. You're in therapy, you're working on your 428 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 2: shit every week. So for some reason, Tristan and Chloe 429 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 2: popped in my head and I was like, side note, 430 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: did you hear about Tristan and Chloe? 431 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: Everybody did?

It's part of the journey 640 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: out of the gang bang into healthier gang bangs. Maybe 641 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: that was a healthy one. Shit, who knows, Maybe you're 642 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: on your way to healthier gang bangs. 643 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: Healthy. 644 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: But I think that I think that people put a 645 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: lot of like emphasis on age and where you're supposed 646 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: to be at, you know, Like I knew for sure 647 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: when I was fifteen. By the time I was this age, 648 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 2: I was going to be filthy, rich and like own 649 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: on my way to retirement. Three children for sure, married 650 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 2: for sure, Like I don't know about kids, definitely not kids. 651 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 2: That was never on my That was never my my 652 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: dream future. It was like husband and do whatever the 653 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: fuck I want, you know. And now here I am 654 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: a kid, no husband, but I'm doing whatever the fuck 655 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: I want. So it manifested in whatever way it was 656 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: supposed to. And we all know, like manifestations always show 657 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: up differently. They never are very rarely exactly how it is. 658 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: And if they are, then that's that's part of a 659 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: manifestation too.
