Speaker 1: and oh my god, just the Facebook group of tiar
Speaker 1: it melts my heart.
Speaker 2: Do you die? I die time.
Speaker 1: My favorite thing about the project is when we do
Speaker 1: the live rounds of the Facebook group and seeing everyone
Speaker 1: show up post support. It's just an energy like no
Speaker 1: other and it's yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 4: It's just always so high vibe. And last week, the
Speaker 4: sweetest lady posted in there.
Speaker 2: She's seventy, Susan Little Shadow, I love you, Susan tell us.
Speaker 4: She actually posted in there saying she wasn't going to
Speaker 4: share because she wasn't sure anyone would resonate with her.
Speaker 4: But she shared and everyone was just hyping her up
Speaker 4: in the comments. Jamie and I literally cried. It was
Speaker 4: just so beautiful.
Speaker 1: So Susan is seventy and she started the project and
Speaker 1: she's like, I finally want to do something for myself.
Speaker 2: And yeah, she was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I didn't know about posting because I just
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I don't know if anyone's going
Speaker 1: to resonate, and she did and then everyone got around
Speaker 1: her and it's so beautiful.
Speaker 2: Best thing.
Speaker 3: We love you Susan.

Speaker 1: And this is going to be an amazing adventure and
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And it's going to be a little bit uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: but we're here for the uncomfort, aren't we.
Speaker 2: In here for sure?
Speaker 1: That's like any time you get uncomfortable and things feel fuzzy,
Speaker 1: it's like you go into the new level, embrace.
Speaker 4: It exactly, And like, that's something I want to reframe
Speaker 4: for myself this year, is when I'm uncomfortable, I need
Speaker 4: to then turn that into excitement for getting comfortable where
Speaker 4: I am currently uncomfortable, so that I can grow.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, such such a huge mindset like change, but
Speaker 1: it's like once you can get on board with that,
Speaker 1: it just feels so much better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing, so bloty exciting.
Speaker 1: Also, before we get into the episode, we have a
Speaker 1: special love reading from our residence psychic Andrea.
Speaker 2: This one is juicy, how good.
Speaker 1: We thought it would be perfect for Valentine's Day and
Speaker 1: if you want to follow Andrea on Instagram. She does
Speaker 1: for live readings all the time, and also she is
Speaker 1: the psychic friend who I always get my personal readings of,

Speaker 1: and she's just amazing. So you can follow her on
Speaker 1: Instagram at Andrea Sarah dot.

Speaker 3: Yes, it's for the goals. It's always for all the goals.

Speaker 1: that little something special. Yeah, yeah, love yours, Love you
Speaker 1: so much. Enjoy the episode, Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5: I'm so excited to do a love reading for you
Speaker 5: all today. Love readings are They're the tea. They're like
Speaker 5: the most exciting reading that I do because we get
Speaker 5: so much intel and I always here for a little
Speaker 5: bit of goss, a little bit of intel.
Speaker 2: We love it.
Speaker 5: So the girls have asked me to do to reading Stay,
Speaker 5: which I'm thrilled about because it's going to help you
Speaker 5: decipher which messages for you and which message is not
Speaker 5: for you. So the fact reading that I'm going to
Speaker 5: do for you guys will be the ones that are
Speaker 5: in connection, so relationship, situationship, that type of vibe, just
Speaker 5: because they're reading from such a large or it is
Speaker 5: like a collective reading. Just take to the parts that
Speaker 5: resonate for you. Don't try and make the full message fit.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's not meant for you and it's meant for
Speaker 5: someone else. And we're just going to try and extract
Speaker 5: the message that is coming through today. And then the
Speaker 5: next message will be for my honeys that are open
Speaker 5: to love, open to dating, kind of like figuring out
Speaker 5: what's happening next in their love life. So very excited
Speaker 5: to see what comes through. Let me shuffle and I'll
Speaker 5: jump back on and spill the tea with you before
Speaker 5: my relationship honeys. We have like a bit of a
Speaker 5: split message here, so I've the the energy that is
Speaker 5: relevant is definitely pissis in scorpio, so that could be
Speaker 5: you or that could be them. And also the split
Speaker 5: energy is an air sign male, so yeah, that's coming
Speaker 5: through as liberal Gemini and Aquarius. So the more with
Speaker 5: the water sign, I can actually see this is really
Speaker 5: exciting for you guys. There is like a little bit
Speaker 5: of a tower moment happening in the connection, but it's
Speaker 5: a good thing. Like it could be like restructuring the
Speaker 5: relationship is needed, or redirection, just making little tweaks to
Speaker 5: make the connection and the foundation stronger for the future,
Speaker 5: because I can feel so this is only going to
Speaker 5: be for some of you, or that it's resonating with
Speaker 5: that there is going to be a deeper level of commitment.
Speaker 5: So depending on your current relationship, this could be like
Speaker 5: going if you're dating, moving in together, or if you've
Speaker 5: been or even like an engagement, because we have the
Speaker 5: hyrofin here which speaks to a level of commitment that
Speaker 5: is deeper. So that's very exciting. But I can see
Speaker 5: that there is some restructure that is going to happen
Speaker 5: for us. But like it's important to know that this
Speaker 5: is not thing to be worried about, that this is normal.
Speaker 5: It's actually quite healthy to keep growing and like making
Speaker 5: little tweaks when if like they're being brought to the surface,
Speaker 5: and I think it's just a reminder that when you
Speaker 5: do this, that it's creating like a strong foundation. And
Speaker 5: then like a little cheeky side note that there is
Speaker 5: a deeper level of commitment coming. So do the work
Speaker 5: first and then we will see what happens with this
Speaker 5: horrifment car which is really exciting. And then for my
Speaker 5: ones that are like connecting with a male that is
Speaker 5: an air sign. We do have some stuff that is
Speaker 5: being brought to the surface. There's like an intense energy
Speaker 5: around them at the moment. I don't know if it's
Speaker 5: more so around your person's energy, but I do see
Speaker 5: like they are kind of going through it. I feel
Speaker 5: like it's them also going through it, and maybe that
Speaker 5: you are kind of like a bystander in this. So
Speaker 5: it is important to protect your energy. Like it's yeah,
Speaker 5: I think it's really good to be a supportive person
Speaker 5: in their life, but it's also important to pull back
Speaker 5: your energy and also, you know, make sure that you
Speaker 5: put your emotional and your mental health needs first. I
Speaker 5: can see that this situation is going to improve, but
Speaker 5: like it does have to, like the energy does have
Speaker 5: to dissipate and it has to calm down a little
Speaker 5: bit so you can be that supporting role, but make
Speaker 5: sure that you are putting you know, you protect your
Speaker 5: energy and protect your needs regardless if you're in a
Speaker 5: situation or relationship, it's really important to you know, give
Speaker 5: that love to yourself because otherwise you can't really support
Speaker 5: them anyway. And then you know, it'll be a smoother
Speaker 5: road for both of you if you just pull back
Speaker 5: a little bit. If that's resonating with you so exciting,
Speaker 5: it will definitely get better. Even that doesn't sound like
Speaker 5: it is exciting, but yeah, just remember to put your
Speaker 5: put your you know, to be balancing between your the
Speaker 5: energy and their energy, because then it will definitely smooth out.
Speaker 5: So now for my dating and looking for love or
Speaker 5: open to love, honeys, this is definitely my favorite type
Speaker 5: of reading because we're going to see who was coming
Speaker 5: in next to what type of energy that we're going
Speaker 5: to be connecting with next. Are you going to keep
Speaker 5: your like linkers open for or like you know? It's
Speaker 5: exciting because you'll be able to see if this connects
Speaker 5: with you in the short term future. So let's see,
Speaker 5: I'll pull some cards and I'll let you know. So
Speaker 5: let's have a look. We have a few cards that
Speaker 5: have popped up really beautiful. One card is like, I
Speaker 5: feel like the first message that we need to get
Speaker 5: out there is because it's come through so strong and
Speaker 5: definitely from like your higher self, and it's like, girl,
Speaker 5: you're not dating right now, Like this is like it's
Speaker 5: like for real. They are like, you know, put on
Speaker 5: dating on for a pause. Like if especially if you're
Speaker 5: feeling like a bit frustrated and burnt out with like
Speaker 5: connecting with people, They're just saying, like, you know, you
Speaker 5: need to like invest your energy into you. Now is
Speaker 5: not the time, Like your time will definitely come, and
Speaker 5: it probably towards later in the year is going to
Speaker 5: be more of a social time for you, and your
Speaker 5: energy is going to feel like you want to be
Speaker 5: able to give to people, You want to be able
Speaker 5: to connect and have those outings, but at the moment
Speaker 5: there's kind of like a little bit of a block,
Speaker 5: and your intuition is just like, please listen to me, like,
Speaker 5: you know, don't force connections right now because you are
Speaker 5: going to like potentially be frustrated or burnt out. So
Speaker 5: that is the first message that came through really strong
Speaker 5: for someone's intuition. I'm going to say there's a few
Speaker 5: people's intuition. Reinvesting that energy inwards instead of outwards is
Speaker 5: super important for you, especially especially right for right now,
Speaker 5: other hand, we have another message here. This is happening.
Speaker 5: I would say in the next three weeks or three months,
Speaker 5: there's going to be communication. This is going to be
Speaker 5: someone reaching out to you. There's this new line of
Speaker 5: communication that's coming in. But I think this possibly for
Speaker 5: some people for something that's going to be a pass
Speaker 5: can like someone reaching out from the past. For others,
Speaker 5: it's going to be a new person. But yeah, there
Speaker 5: is like this feeling of like like I think this
Speaker 5: is a small amount of you like, oh, it's not
Speaker 5: going to happen for me, like you know, kind of
Speaker 5: giving up on the dating scene. And then there's going
Speaker 5: to be like this message or this phone call that's
Speaker 5: kind of come in and it's going to be like
Speaker 5: it's a very big surprise. And then for others, you're
Speaker 5: like fully ready, Like there is definitely a lot of
Speaker 5: you that are actually really ready in a really stable place,
Speaker 5: that are like, you know good either way. You know,
Speaker 5: you're in this really good mindset, which I think is
Speaker 5: really healthy and it's really like peaceful. And then we
Speaker 5: do have like a healing guy. We've got a King
Speaker 5: of Cops here, which is great. King of Cops is
Speaker 5: all about emotional support, really vulnerable done like some healing workers,
Speaker 5: pretty self aware. They may be a little bit spiritual.
Speaker 5: I always feel like this card brings up this like
Speaker 5: they're spiritual without like really associating with spirituality, Like they
Speaker 5: just kind of are that way because they are natural healers.
Speaker 5: It's just like it's a natural skill that they have.
Speaker 5: Very empathic and they're very attuned to your needs. So
Speaker 5: they're going to be a giver, which is really beautiful.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a vibe. We can't lie about that.
Speaker 5: So and they are very very ready for a deeper,
Speaker 5: deeper type of love, so they they're really in a
Speaker 5: good place. So King of Cops can be associated with
Speaker 5: a water sign, but it doesn't necessarily have to be.
Speaker 5: I'm going to say, it's more of the energy that
Speaker 5: this person is embodying. So I'm so excited for you all.
Speaker 5: You'll have to let me know if you meet this
Speaker 5: King of Coups because it is a vibe. Thank you
Speaker 5: so much for letting me read through and take care
Speaker 5: of my loves. I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
Speaker 1: So well, let's get into our special Valentine's or should
Speaker 1: be saying Gallentines.
Speaker 4: It's funny because I just had to explain to Georgie
Speaker 4: like Gallata tis guys good to know.
Speaker 3: I'd like had heard it, and I just didn't really
Speaker 3: understand the concept.
Speaker 1: So solo may in this episode we wanted to bring
Speaker 1: you obviously a Valentine's Day inspired episode all about how
Speaker 1: to date yourself and love yourself.
Speaker 3: I love this because it's.
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like.
Speaker 1: So simple, but it's like if you truly can get
Speaker 1: to a place where all you need is like you
Speaker 1: and you don't need external validation from like other people
Speaker 1: to make you feel whole, it is just so powerful,
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. And I think it's such a lifelong
Speaker 1: journey what so many people are on.
Speaker 3: And so let's have a chat about it before we
Speaker 3: get into the episode. Though a tear.
Speaker 1: I know at the end of the episode we're going
Speaker 1: to put in some of the NH team's favorite solo dates. Yes,
Speaker 1: but let's tell the moles.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's yours.
Speaker 1: I'm a simple gal, I'm not so my perfect solo
Speaker 1: date would be I actually did this se O listen
Speaker 1: there tim being like, go and have a solo date
Speaker 1: first of all because we have a change together and
Speaker 1: there's that situation. And then me getting a massage. I'm
Speaker 1: talking full body, ninety minute massage and I'm into like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna butcher this kahana massage, which is a Hawaiian massage.
Speaker 3: They massa your whole body. It's not like back legs.
Speaker 1: It's like they massage the whole body the whole time.
Speaker 3: I hope you get that picture. And it's it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: And then and it's it's a bit of a spiritual massage.
Speaker 1: I love that they're this beautiful like Hawaiian preannum and stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: and then I go to the beach. I get a
Speaker 1: cyeball and I journal and I just have a little
Speaker 1: soak in the sun.
Speaker 2: That's such a nice solow date. Yeah, what about you mine?
Speaker 2: I have two.
Speaker 4: One is going to the cinema by myself. It's my
Speaker 4: favorite thing.
Speaker 3: I've literally never done this.
Speaker 2: Oh you have, It's it's life changing.
Speaker 4: Like the first time I did it, I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: people to think I'm a weirdo.
Speaker 2: But like one, no one can even see you.
Speaker 4: It's dark and it's just so like you get so
Speaker 4: immersed and as long as it's a good movie and
Speaker 4: it's one you.
Speaker 2: Enjoy, I just feel super creative after it.
Speaker 3: Did you go see Avatar alone?
Speaker 2: Now with my friend?
Speaker 3: Would have been so good?
Speaker 2: Sealing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would have been in a amazing movie to
Speaker 4: see on your own, because you're also like I feel
Speaker 4: like when you go to the movies with someone else
Speaker 4: kind of want to like look at them to see
Speaker 4: if they're enjoying the movie sometimes whereas that doesn't happen
Speaker 4: if you're by yourself, like it's just you and like this.
Speaker 2: Magical thing in front of you so interesting.
Speaker 4: And then my other favorite solo date is a little
Speaker 4: bubble bath with a lush bath bomb and some ebs
Speaker 4: and salts and candles, and.
Speaker 2: You love your bath?
Speaker 3: I love my What do you do in the bath?
Speaker 4: Sometimes I read a book. Sometimes I'll just like watch
Speaker 4: a random TV show. Sometimes I just lie there.
Speaker 3: How you like, how do you go reading a book
Speaker 3: in the bath? Because I always have this weird phobia
Speaker 3: that I'm going to drop it.
Speaker 4: I have that phobia, but I'm like, eh, get a
Speaker 4: new one. Yeah, I know what page of one?
Speaker 3: Like you're a badass. I'm so bad living life on
Speaker 3: the air.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 4: I also got one of those like things from Target though,
Speaker 4: that would being the bath caddy that. Yeah, so I
Speaker 4: just put the book on there smart and I'm like,
Speaker 4: I won't it's not gonna fall.
Speaker 5: I don't trust once.
Speaker 3: Actually I did go in the bath in like with
Speaker 3: an iPad. I thought this paper but willing to keep
Speaker 3: yourself I know, oh yeah, I did any think of that? Wow, dangerous.
Speaker 3: Don't do that. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1: And I think what I've realized, especially as I've gotten older,
Speaker 1: is when you do prioritize yourself and you know, stuff
Speaker 1: like solo dates and it's really like, no, I'm actually
Speaker 1: going to plan like like you would you know, your
Speaker 1: partner or your friend or whatever, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: plan this time and it be like really sacred and
Speaker 1: beautiful and intentional. Yeah, And like you know, we talk
Speaker 1: about this a lot, but like romanticizing your life. So
Speaker 1: if you do have a free Sunday and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you did ask your friends and they said no, whatever,
Speaker 1: and you're in this situation where you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of free time to yourself, romanticize it, so you know,
Speaker 1: go out and have you know, like in a sigh
Speaker 1: ble and see it like if you're me or if
Speaker 1: you're a tear, like be very intentional with what am
Speaker 1: I actually going to do where I'm going to fill
Speaker 1: up my cup, I'm going to give back to myself
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna almost like treating yourself how you would want.
Speaker 2: Someone else to the perfect date?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know when you're younger and you think of
Speaker 1: like the perfect date. I just don't even know if
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 2: I was like I don't think I have that.
Speaker 1: No, that was a bad thing to say. It was
Speaker 1: a really bandom thing to say. But like movies or whatever,
Speaker 1: like yeah, we all know what that you know somewhat
Speaker 1: looks like of like do that to yourself?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you know it is nerve racking.
Speaker 1: I would say that I don't know about going to
Speaker 1: the cinema like that for me is nerve wracking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I wouldn't know what to do, where do
Speaker 3: I buy the tickets that I do all that, let's
Speaker 3: be honest.
Speaker 1: So it's nerve wracking. But I think if you can
Speaker 1: get like more comfortable with it, for sure that time
Speaker 1: comes like really sacred to you and it's like, it's
Speaker 1: really beautiful and it's nice.
Speaker 2: It is, it's very nice.
Speaker 1: So guys, if you get anything from this episode, go
Speaker 1: on a solo date, date yourself, get to know yourself.
Speaker 1: And also what I love with time by yourself is
Speaker 1: like it's so much great evidence for like who you truly.
Speaker 3: Are when no one's looking so true and what you like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many times I realized because me and
Speaker 1: Tim have been a relationship for so long, that I
Speaker 1: had kind of warped things that I like to suit him. Whoa,
Speaker 1: when he's not there, I'm like, do I even want
Speaker 1: to watch that show or do that thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I love to question myself because of course you
Speaker 1: are going to warp yourself somewhat, Like that's how relationships
Speaker 1: generally work. Yeah, but it is good when you're not
Speaker 1: with that person to be like what do I actually
Speaker 1: want to do? What do I actually like?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: I love that and even stuff like something I've been
Speaker 1: doing is for example, on the Sunday, you know, Tim
Speaker 1: had we do a lot of like he gulfs to
Speaker 1: fill up his cart and he had cups sorry, and
Speaker 1: he had golf twice that week.
Speaker 3: And then I won this beautiful solo date.
Speaker 1: And there is like a part of me that was like, oh,
Speaker 1: but I, you know, I should spend it with Tim
Speaker 1: and Ivy, I should do this. But I had to
Speaker 1: be like and advocate for myself and be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm going to spend time with myself because I deserve it,
Speaker 1: and I, you know, deserve to fill up my own
Speaker 1: cup and do this thing. But anyway, that's beautiful, date yourself.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's switch gears a little bit and
Speaker 1: let's talk about like this whole you know, aspect of
Speaker 1: self love and really getting comfortable with who you are
Speaker 1: to the core. And I wanted to talk about this
Speaker 1: because if you guys recently saw I did a campaign
Speaker 1: with Best and Less.
Speaker 2: And it's amazing, thank you dear.
Speaker 1: And it was really interesting because I got the email, well,
Speaker 1: my partnership's manager, Ja got the email, and you know,
Speaker 1: they pitched to us of it's a Valentine Sday campaign
Speaker 1: and they want Georgie to be the face and they
Speaker 1: want all the messaging about you know, how she encourages
Speaker 1: women to step in their power and embrace their uniqueness.
Speaker 1: And we love her messaging. We think she's going to
Speaker 1: suit this campaign perfect. You know, she's all about you know,
Speaker 1: loving yourself exactly how you are.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And it's so interesting because when I first got that email,
Speaker 1: because that is that is you know, who I am,
Speaker 1: and that's where I stand for. And I got that
Speaker 1: email though, and I remember I I think I had
Speaker 1: just turned a year postpartum with Ivy. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: got that email, and my first thought was, oh my god.
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of anything fucking worse been them being
Speaker 1: half naked in front of a team or like because
Speaker 1: also this is like all their stores on TV, ads
Speaker 1: on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of my body anything worse than like
Speaker 1: my body. But and then it like occurred to me
Speaker 1: that it, oh this, this has come up again. Yeah
Speaker 1: was I thought I had done all the work on
Speaker 1: myself and loving myself and loving who I was, But
Speaker 1: definitely there was a part of me who was still
Speaker 1: waiting for my pre baby body, or just a part
Speaker 1: of me who wanted to hide who I was because
Speaker 1: I wasn't the quote unquote perfect version of myself. So
Speaker 1: you know, I'd almost gone to that next level of
Speaker 1: self love of I don't compare myself to other moms
Speaker 1: or you know, anything like that.
Speaker 3: But I was comparing myself to my old me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I realized that, you know that my body image,
Speaker 1: you know issues had like reared its head again. And
Speaker 1: that's when I didn't even understand that concept until that email. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's like I remember sitting with it for a
Speaker 1: while and like, that's honestly why I did that campaign,
Speaker 1: because I was like, I need to fucking knit this
Speaker 1: in the butt because I am not doing this again.
Speaker 3: I'm not going down this world.
Speaker 1: Like wormhole because for years, my body image took away
Speaker 1: so much happiness from my life because I just wouldn't
Speaker 1: embrace myself. And then once I did, and I did,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of work on, like you know,
Speaker 1: the inner stuff. Oh, my life changed. And the capacity
Speaker 1: that I had to no longer think of critiquing myself
Speaker 1: and being mean to myself.
Speaker 3: You have it for other things. Yeah, and it's just
Speaker 3: it's so liberating. So anyway, I did.
Speaker 1: I did the campaign and I was even saying to
Speaker 1: a tea like it was at this random house in Sydney,
Speaker 1: and you know, I was there Brian Undy's walking around
Speaker 1: team of like twenty and because she was asking me,
Speaker 1: like how I got through that, like how I dealt
Speaker 1: with the body image issues, and I was like, it's
Speaker 1: so interesting. It's like I just had to do the
Speaker 1: thing that I feared most. And by the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I was like, I don't.
Speaker 2: Give a fuck.
Speaker 4: That's sort of how you dealt with it rather than
Speaker 4: like working through it to be fine. When you did it,
Speaker 4: you just sat in me uncomfort Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like I almost like did the furthest thing of what
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do. And I haven't really done
Speaker 1: that before. Oh, I guess I can business and stuff.
Speaker 1: And it was so liberating. And it's so funny because
Speaker 1: I think something like that it usually takes me like
Speaker 1: a lot of time to like process and gets through.
Speaker 1: But it's like I feel like I did it in
Speaker 1: a day because I just see the most like and
Speaker 1: it was it was like like for me personally, it
Speaker 1: was like so courageous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it was so like feel feel the fear
Speaker 3: and do it anyway.
Speaker 2: I love that so much.
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, if there's something in your
Speaker 1: life where you know, maybe you've got a speaking opportunity
Speaker 1: or make you got maybe you got this opportunity that
Speaker 1: like scares the shit out of you, and you're like
Speaker 1: you're worried. You thinking about what if there's limiting beliefs,
Speaker 1: like just do the thing? Should we all do an underwear?
Speaker 2: Kept mean you were not thinking of anything worse?
Speaker 3: I die, But I told you this, Yes, I know.
Speaker 4: That was something I actually told Georgie as well, is
Speaker 4: that I actually have been working with a fitness coach
Speaker 4: and I said to him one of my checkens, like,
Speaker 4: I just I didn't never thought that I had really
Speaker 4: bad body image issues. I knew that I did when
Speaker 4: I was younger, like in school and stuff, but I
Speaker 4: feel like that's something most teenage girls experience. And then
Speaker 4: I just thought like I got over it and I
Speaker 4: didn't care and I could wear what I want blah
Speaker 4: blah blah. And then I had to take progress photos
Speaker 4: and I was just like, oh no, like I'm just
Speaker 4: not I don't want to and I didn't. And in
Speaker 4: the check in she asked me, She's like like, why
Speaker 4: didn't you not weigh yourself or take photos or measurements
Speaker 4: to track your progress? And I was like I just could.
Speaker 4: I did not want to. I didn't want to look
Speaker 4: at myself. I didn't want to measure myself. I didn't
Speaker 4: want to know, and that for me flagged that like, oh,
Speaker 4: like you haven't dealt with it. You've just put it
Speaker 4: in a box and you've ignored it. So interesting I
Speaker 4: might have like I am now going through this thing
Speaker 4: where I'm like, where else in my life have I
Speaker 4: done that? Like cart what's the word called like compartmentalized? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 4: like I think that I've worked through limiting belief, but
Speaker 4: I actually just popped it all in a box, put
Speaker 4: a bow on it, popped it on a shelf, and.
Speaker 2: Threw it over there.
Speaker 1: But that's like, that's really beautiful that you can look
Speaker 1: into that.
Speaker 2: It's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uncomfortable and very much like yeah you haven't yeah yourself,
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't feel like that.
Speaker 2: No, not at all. But yeah, I don't know about
Speaker 2: other way.
Speaker 5: Campaign.
Speaker 2: I so admire your courage because that's insane. I tear
Speaker 2: you just do it.
Speaker 3: Look best in those calls? Should we do iron C underwear? Jamie?
Speaker 3: Do you want to do iron C underwear?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 2: Friend? But we can put affirmations on them.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's the best idea I know.
Speaker 1: Are so there well, that's it's so interesting a tear
Speaker 1: because I think there is a time and place for that.
Speaker 1: Like this might be like unpopular opinion, but I think
Speaker 1: there is. First of all, I just want to say, yes,
Speaker 1: you need to work through those issues. And we will
Speaker 1: chat about this episode because I'm not qualified to give
Speaker 1: this to the community, but we were talking about it.
Speaker 1: But that's even an interesting thing idea of one of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends recently got her implants out and they were
Speaker 1: like leaking and causing like havoc and the body, and
Speaker 1: of course I've had my implants out. So she said,
Speaker 1: you know, like I you know, my boobs are looking
Speaker 1: very different how.
Speaker 3: They used to look.
Speaker 1: Sure, what's like any tips on that? And I said
Speaker 1: to her, honestly, like when I got my boobs out,
Speaker 1: something that really did help was kind of just not
Speaker 1: focusing on them so I wouldn't fixate on them and
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like look at them every day in the mirror.
Speaker 3: And slowly because I like, after you get.
Speaker 1: Your implants out, it really just take your body like
Speaker 1: two months to like just even get back to sitting
Speaker 1: bright and yeah, all the things and filling out and stuff.
Speaker 1: And so I just said to her, Honestly, I just
Speaker 1: didn't think about it, and I just like I didn't
Speaker 1: fixate on it, and I didn't think about it, and
Speaker 1: I kind of anytime i'd go there, i'd maybe.
Speaker 3: Shifted to oh, my, go looks so good.
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, something like that, so I could get
Speaker 1: through that period and then a couple of months will
Speaker 1: go on and you'll see yourself more and you'll get
Speaker 1: used to it and you'll get comfortable. And that's personally
Speaker 1: what I did when I got my boobs out, because
Speaker 1: it was like a transition I had to go through.
Speaker 1: And now I'm just like, oh, this is just me, yeah,
Speaker 1: or even just going it's more me, and I always
Speaker 1: want to be more me.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: And I felt like she said that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: had really helped her and something to think about too.
