Speaker 2:Kate Little Mermaid.
Speaker 1:Where we concentrate on higher living and, definitely higher thinking, in which we don't. Not today.
Speaker 3:So just so you all know, she practiced that, like, three times.
Speaker 1:And when we were raised, we'd have
Speaker 2:no giggles.
Speaker 3:But the moment we sit down here, our lovely Roxy gets us all the giggle.
Speaker 1:I, I felt like I did better in rehearsal.
Speaker 3:In rehearsal? Is that
Speaker 1:what that was?
Speaker 3:So today we are starting the podcast from a different place. So normally, in case you guys don't know this, we just get together and chat. You know, we don't talk to each other a ton during the week. We all have our lives and our businesses and the stuff that we're doing. So when we sit down to do our podcast, like, we legit are catching up over the week because we haven't seen each other.
Speaker 3:Well, we got here today and we had some extra time to just sit and chat. And so, apparently, that's our rehearsal that you speak of. But in reality, we were just starting our conversations early. So we're a little bit deeper into the conversation than we normally are at this time of the podcast. So this one's probably gonna be a good one.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There'll be some outtakes. I think there were some recording during rehearsal that will probably be
Speaker 3:Oh, my god. That's right. And and that one's really great because there was an event that happened, in this interlude that I I was too serendipitous for it not to be a big deal.
Speaker 1:It was very, very well thought out.
Speaker 2:Very good. I don't know what was well thought out.
Speaker 3:It wasn't well thought out. That was just trying
Speaker 1:to be responsible, you guys.
Speaker 3:It was just pure honesty.
Speaker 1:And it wasn't me.
Speaker 3:I didn't do it. No. You didn't. Well, like I said earlier
Speaker 1:Not yet.
Speaker 3:You did. Yo. She goaded me into it. You looked at me. You looked at me and you knew I was gonna say something.
Speaker 1:I did.
Speaker 3:She was not wrong. So, yes. Sometime
Speaker 1:I asked her what she said.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So you're gonna have to tune in. We'll probably put some of that maybe up on TikTok, guys. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3:We'll we'll let you know what avenue that's on, but you're gonna wanna listen to that. The unabridged version, that's what we'll call that.
Speaker 1:Well, speaking of how you're thinking, do you wanna let our audience know what happened as we were coming here? Do you wanna do do you wanna talk about your indiscretion?
Speaker 3:I may have almost killed Roxy. It's pretty serious. But it wasn't intentional, but there have been some things that came to light that had I known that maybe I would have made a better decision. So I don't know
Speaker 2:if you guys
Speaker 3:know or remember, but Roxy has a bone foot.
Speaker 2:And And she usually has her glasses on.
Speaker 3:And she usually has her glasses on. Today, she doesn't have her glasses on, which I didn't know were real. I have nightmares for fashion. I'm so we're all on the same page. So that was a little I'm kinda jealous because I have boring glasses compared to you.
Speaker 3:But, anywho so we needed to cross the street to get to the studio, and I didn't really look. I looked one way. There was a couple cars.
Speaker 2:Trying to FaceTime me. I was like and I was driving, so I couldn't answer a FaceTime.
Speaker 3:I was doing too many things at once. And so we started to walk and then she looks the other way and it's like, oh, I'm like, oh, there's cars. Never mind. Let's go back
Speaker 1:to the curb. My bad. No. We stood in the boat for, like, 2 minutes. And then I look at her and I'm like, we should probably take a step back.
Speaker 3:But, you know, Kimberly did give us some grace. It is a triangle where this all happened. There's, like, 3 roads intersecting. There's not actually a crosswalk. So we didn't have a lot.
Speaker 3:And I was trying to FaceTime, take care of you, make sure I didn't hurt you as you cross the street, let alone kill you.
Speaker 2:Yes. There were a lot of multi factors, multi layers.
Speaker 3:Yeah. But we all survived. We crossed the street. We made it here. We did.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I
Speaker 3:1 piece. But I had to remark to her that, don't trust me. I may look trustworthy, but no. Trust your gut. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Look the other way. Don't trust me to cross the street. So
Speaker 1:Don't trust her when she tells you where the camera placements are either.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah. I'm not any good at that. Like, I can see 2 cameras and I'm pretty sure it's got 1, but then I know there's one right there too. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Is that one yours? And another one. Yes. Did you know that on
Speaker 1:a Ring doorbell, the cameras right
Speaker 2:in front of? Yeah. It's it's actually on the Ring doorbell, not from the ceiling.
Speaker 3:So did you get everybody messages?
Speaker 2:So so we're Hitting the ring.
Speaker 3:Hope that, like, they didn't the messages didn't last because it got a little silly there.
Speaker 2:Somewhat someone will have to access the ring account and
Speaker 3:see if you can share
Speaker 2:the video. With us.
Speaker 3:Yeah. You can mark that on your list of things to do for you.
Speaker 1:We left you
Speaker 2:in a
Speaker 1:shot, and it's ominous.
Speaker 3:We left you a gem.
Speaker 2:Yeah. There's more than 1.
Speaker 3:I just never thought in a 1000000 years that a millennial wouldn't know how to use a Ring camera.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I pull Or I look for the light to come on around the camera. I mean, it's on your laptops. Yeah. Most of them have a a little glowy thing that goes around when the light is, you know,
Speaker 3:when it's recording. So when I'm telling you this and your immediate response is to go
Speaker 2:To look up like security.
Speaker 3:Both me and Kimberly were like, what is she doing? I'm like, honey, it's on the right in front of you.
Speaker 1:But I can't trust you now. You almost just gotten killed.
Speaker 3:True. I will
Speaker 2:give you that.
Speaker 3:But you can always trust Kimberly. She's the trustworthy one. You can trust her. If she says the camera is not on the ceiling, the camera is not on the ceiling.
Speaker 1:Well, that was stated after I looked at the ceiling.
Speaker 3:That is true. In my defense There still might be 1. Possibly. That is true. I guess I hadn't contemplated that possibility.
Speaker 3:There could there could actually be 1 on the ceiling.
Speaker 2:Yep. And like we were saying, we just need to have cameras around us. Right.
Speaker 3:All the time.
Speaker 2:Because we're pretty funny.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So as we were waiting to get into the studio, you know, there was lots of had to go to the bathroom. I really needed to use the restroom.
Speaker 2:We were we were contemplating where where
Speaker 3:I was gonna go. We're gonna send you. And and kind of out of the middle of nowhere, this wonderful human being who doesn't know us, doesn't know from Joe is like, hey, 2 ladies need to get in here. We should be He had keys. And he had keys to the studio.
Speaker 3:So we get to get in. I got to pee. Thank goodness. And that was super fun.
Speaker 2:Mhmm.
Speaker 3:So I'm really glad that some random guy just showed up to charge his phone who runs a space here so that we could come inside.
Speaker 2:That's pretty awesome. Roxy gets quiet.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Roxy, why are you so quiet?
Speaker 1:I wanna talk about relationships.
Speaker 3:Oh, I
Speaker 2:knew that was coming.
Speaker 1:I knew you
Speaker 3:were gonna find a way to segue that right in there. I just didn't know how. Now I know. I'll see you.
Speaker 1:Does anybody have a funny story? About? Dating and relationships. Dating? Cannabis.
Speaker 1:Marriages and stuff. Marriages.
Speaker 3:So I have a funny one. Yeah. Honey, I love you. So one of the first times that I hung out with Moe, I had just made a batch of butter, and I had made all of my own peanut butter balls. And I had dumped dipped them in chocolate, and we were keeping them in the freezer.
Speaker 3:And these things tasted delicious, but they were kind of a crapshoot. Right? This is a homemade edible. At this point in my career, I did not really know how to properly dose because it was just butter. Right?
Speaker 3:I really didn't have an idea how strong the butter was. And so Mohak come over and I was like, hey. Do you want one of my peanut butter balls? And I had explained to him what the deal was, and he was like, okay. Maybe I should just have half.
Speaker 3:And I was like, no. You can have the whole thing. You'll be fine. So, he was not fine.
Speaker 2:Next to them.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. Hashtag.
Speaker 3:An hour and 45 minutes later, he is sitting at the end of my driveway with his knees up and his little head in his hands. And I go over and I sit next to him and I'm like, what's going on? And he was like, contemplating life. And I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. That was not the place I was intending for you to go tonight.
Speaker 3:He was like, no, it's good. It's like a late summer evening. And, like, the sun is beginning to set and he's just like looking up his space around his house. Like, yeah. You know, he's just starts philosophizing about life.
Speaker 3:And I'm like, turned out to be a really great night. But you know what? For about a year, he never accepted any edible I ever gave him. He didn't trust me at all. He was like, no.
Speaker 3:I need to see the package.
Speaker 2:I did.
Speaker 3:And if you made it, I'm not touching it.
Speaker 1:Oh. Because he said,
Speaker 3:trust me. And it wasn't because it was just because I nobody like, my edibles could be awesome, or they could be duds. So he didn't get a dud.
Speaker 1:That's a reoccurring theme for you, trust. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh, god. Isn't it though? Yeah. Moving right along. What's your funny story?
Speaker 3:Oh, we do
Speaker 2:not have time for those.
Speaker 3:Yeah. See, she's the smart one who's like, I'm not airing my dirty laundry.
Speaker 2:Oh, there's lots of that. There is lots of that.
Speaker 3:See, like, just to do it.
Speaker 2:Relationships, I am not one to, have any opinion or advice on. Really? I I have gotten
Speaker 3:to the point where I feel like I've had to work really hard for what I have, so I do feel like I have some, like We've been through some stuff, and we're came out the other side together and stronger. And so I do feel like that's an amazing feat, because I know that a lot of people's relationships don't make it through that kind of stuff. But it also could just be because we're both really stubborn and bullheaded. And no matter what, it was gonna work. There's a sense of that in there.
Speaker 3:But yeah. Do you have a funny story with cannabis and relationships and dating? Because you really you're the one who's dating.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Trying to.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm trying to. That's yeah.
Speaker 3:That's the operative word. Yeah. What is like, what do you feel about, like, the dating environment right now? Because, like, you know, Kimberly is married. I'm married.
Speaker 3:You're not. So you have a much better grasp on, like like, how is that world going? And, like, when do you first tell the people that you're dating that you smoke?
Speaker 1:Yeah. That was a lot of questions.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I I'm
Speaker 3:really excited. So let's just back the trainer. You have a funny story for day 2. You know,
Speaker 2:not, not, not, you know, like how German shepherds are kind of known for their, their drug sense. Oh, sniffing. Sniffing out. Yeah. Hers just sniffs out.
Speaker 2:The red flags. The red flags and
Speaker 3:That's a really handy tool to have at your disposal.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. My dog doesn't like you. There's something going on
Speaker 2:and A 100%.
Speaker 1:My dog is so keen on people's behavior and when my dog gets anxious. Yeah. My dog gets anxious, it like really makes me pay attention to like how I'm feeling around somebody. So it's really interesting.
Speaker 3:Because they do pick up on that stuff. They do. So the first time my husky met Moe, we were in my backyard and he was standing, sitting on one of the patio chairs and my husky is not a typical husky. She was the run to the litter. She's never been super hyper.
Speaker 3:She doesn't howl like all the other ones do. She's super standoffish. She's much more like a cat than she is a dog. And the first time she met Moe, I let her out in the backyard because I'm always really tepid about how she's gonna be with new people because she's actually killed a dog. That's another story.
Speaker 3:So I let her out and, like, she walks up to him and she puts her paws on his shoulder and looks at him dead in the face and then starts licking him and his face. And I've never seen this dog do this in my life. And I'm like, you got bacon in your pocket? Like, did you smear your like, he I'm like, she's never done this. He was like, am I okay?
Speaker 2:Oh, shit. Is she prepping you for dinner?
Speaker 3:Yeah. I'm like, what's going on? And so, like, he just had this immediate rapport with my dog. And when he would come over, she would sit at his feet and she would let him pet her. My dog didn't even really let anybody do that.
Speaker 3:It it was kind of just me. So I was like, oh, look at this. This needs this is special. This is a thing because animals, man, they know.
Speaker 2:They know.
Speaker 1:They do.
Speaker 3:They know.
Speaker 1:I wish I had my dog about 6, 7 years ago, I wanna say was the time frame. My funny story is I finally started, like, smoking and I took it serious about, like, 5 years ago. But before then, I could never get high because I could not figure out I'm asthmatic. So I could not figure out how to actually inhale Awani. It it took a hot second for me to figure it out.
Speaker 1:Right? Well, I went over to this guy's house. We've been, chatting here and there and he invited me over for dinner and he knew that I dabbled with cannabis and, he passed me a piece and he was like, everybody gets high on this. And I'm like, trust me. Like, I I have yet to really be high.
Speaker 1:Like, I I don't
Speaker 3:The moment It doesn't work for me. The moment somebody says that to me, that's a challenge. Oh, really?
Speaker 1:Why is that? That's what I'm learning is really healthy and I I'll go on a date and I'll be like, yeah, this isn't for me or this is this is amazing. Like, I like this. And then I put it on my checklist and I feel like I take what I'm learning and then I apply it, going forward. And that has been really helpful for me, but, yeah, dating is really hard.
Speaker 1:Yeah. See, like, I feel kind
Speaker 3:of lucky that I never had to really date online. Like, I never had to do Tinder. I didn't do Bumble. Like, I feel really lucky for that, but I also feel like it's gotten really toxic. Like, my friends that are single and talk to me about, like, just the people they've met.
Speaker 3:I have I have had people who have, like, been bamboozled, right, with catfish and have lost money. I've done stuff. And I'm just like, you have to be so self confident to do that. Like, to just put yourself on a website and be like, if you like me, swipe whatever direction. Right?
Speaker 3:Like, you have to hold so much confidence to be dating. I give you a ton of credit because there is I don't hold that much confidence in myself in a consistent enough basis to date. Honey, please don't leave me.
Speaker 1:I will be lost. So, like,
Speaker 3:I just I have when so when people lament to me about how much they can't stand dating, I am always like, I'm really sorry that that's happening to you. I wish you would find your person because I do think there's a prison for everybody.
Speaker 1:I do too.
Speaker 3:You think there's a person for everybody?
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah. Yeah. And that's just it. It's finding them and connecting. And, but I think what she said earlier is self love overall.
Speaker 2:If you don't love yourself, you can't love anybody else. Thank you, RuPaul. I love you. But you have to be true to yourself a 100%.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Authentic. You have to be confident. You have to be all those things.
Speaker 2:We don't learn that. We're not taught that. You know, what is, is, you know, kids, it's like find somebody and settle down. It's like, no, what if you don't want to, what if you want to experience other things or settle down with the wrong person, that person's growing this way and you're growing that way. You're not growing together.
Speaker 2:I mean, there's, there's so many different variations to it, but bottom line is self care, self love, and, putting yourself first. Yep.
Speaker 3:That is true.
Speaker 2:And then your person will find you, or you'll find you. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Like, I think once you have found the right authentic version of yourself, it's just a matter of time. Right? You're gonna run into that person because you're glowing from the outside. And I and I think that's kind of how, like, I think of you. Right?
Speaker 3:Like, I can't believe you're single.
Speaker 1:Oh. Right? Like, sometimes with, like, other
Speaker 3:people I know and they're dating, I'm kinda like, yeah. I know why you're dating. I get that. But I don't get that with you. Like, you should be in a relationship.
Speaker 3:That's like, you are that kind of, like, single guys. I'm just saying. Like, I I am always like, dang. Why is she single? It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2:Priorities. Yeah. But she has
Speaker 3:self love. Yeah. She's personality first. It's for you being smart.
Speaker 2:No. You're not gonna settle. You're not gonna put up with Right. You know, people that your dog doesn't like.
Speaker 3:And I respect that about you.
Speaker 2:You know, that's not gonna treat you with the utmost respect, you know, like the queen that you need to be.
Speaker 3:Because I think a lot of people are never given that feedback. Really? Yeah. Mhmm. I think so.
Speaker 1:You guys wanna know why I'm single?
Speaker 3:Oh, here we go.
Speaker 2:Well, I think your profile is Are Are you gonna
Speaker 3:read your you're not gonna let you read your profile. You go ahead and find her, and you read the profile yourself.
Speaker 2:If you're if
Speaker 3:you're interested give your handle, but you are not giving your profile. No. Mm-mm. You give them a little gem.
Speaker 2:We're running
Speaker 3:for that Easter egg.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying. Guys wanna know why I'm single?
Speaker 3:I was saying so many good things. Let's just leave it at the person.
Speaker 2:We don't need to go to
Speaker 3:the other end. It's okay.
Speaker 1:I'm single because I'm funny, you guys. I'm the funniest person I know.
Speaker 3:Very funny. You are really funny. You you do make me giggle a lot more than you should. So yes.
Speaker 1:I will. Yeah. I'll let you guys find me.
Speaker 2:It's it's a job for you. Blocked.
Speaker 3:If you're not already blocked, Carrie. Oh, yeah. Well, then my follow-up question to that is, like, since you're in, like, the dating arena, like, how long do you wait to tell a guy that you're, like, that you smoke weed? Or do you just show up to the date like late and smelling like some cannabis? Like what, like what's your, like what, what's your rules?
Speaker 1:I don't know if I have any set rules for it, but sometimes it comes up when I'm chatting with them because they have dropped hints and or they're in the industry or they'll ask me like what my businesses are and then I'll slowly start to leak information. Like I have an accounting firm or I have a podcast and they're like, oh, what's it about? And I'm like, Oh, mental health, life, business, cannabis, and then everything, everything. You know?
Speaker 3:See how they react? It's dangerous. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So like slowly drips it
Speaker 2:all together. It's like, oh, oh, no. Yeah.
Speaker 3:And see if they block you or if they ask more questions.
Speaker 1:I have actually never had a bad reaction towards it.
Speaker 3:That makes me smile. That means that like in society, we're making some some big jumps. Definitely.
Speaker 2:It's a big progress.
Speaker 1:I have never had anybody make remarks that I felt were negative. There was a lot of people that said cannabis isn't for me, but like, I respect your position on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then I get curious and I'm like, why don't you think cannabis is for you? And it opens up like a dialogue of like healthy communication, because then I get to gauge that person's experience level with it. Then I get to gauge that person's education level with it. Yeah. It's really exciting for me because I've chatted with people that are, that really know a lot about the endocannabinoid system, but they're on kind of another side of it where they're like, marijuana depletes you and then you need to really look at your overall health functionality, if you're, an everyday user over time.
Speaker 1:And they've looked into studies about x y z in that, category. So it opens up a lot of these conversations and I'm like, I'm gonna go research that or I'm gonna
Speaker 2:That's pretty
Speaker 1:cool. Yeah. I'm gonna have these conversations because, I think everybody comes to it with their own approach, which is fun. But in dating, I've never had it be a problem. I do feel like I'm pretty respectful, respectful about it.
Speaker 1:I don't if I showed up to a date higher than a kite, I think I I honestly don't know.
Speaker 2:Think he would.
Speaker 3:I mean, you just wanted Right? Because, you know, at the end of the day, you're still putting your best foot forward. And most of us are best foot forward, not necessarily when we're balls high.
Speaker 2:Yeah. But accidental, you know, accidental balls high happens. Happens. So you don't
Speaker 3:really wanna take that risk. Right? There's something to microdosing and taking the edge off.
Speaker 2:Shut down.
Speaker 3:Well, she does say she doesn't know what her limit is. So you're gonna want her to
Speaker 2:do that. That should
Speaker 3:be an episode. We'll just say, okay. Let's you you entrust it to us and we all know my dosing ability. And those of you out there in the world know my dosing ability, my friends. No.
Speaker 3:Fun. It'll be fun. The last are fun.
Speaker 1:The last time you guys got me high, I ate, Kim's sandwich.
Speaker 2:My leftovers from my car.
Speaker 3:Okay. We need to tell our valued listeners this amazing story.
Speaker 2:Yes. That was, that was pretty fun now. Cause you know, she's had issues with the car. I'm pretty sure it's all lemon. We need to get a new car.
Speaker 2:Yes. But, yes. And so we, we were little road trip. You were carpooling, right? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yep. And yeah, she was just jonesing for food, like nothing else. And I'm like,
Speaker 3:do you have the veggies? I did.
Speaker 2:I'm like,
Speaker 3:it looked chicken wrap. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I had chicken wrap that I had gotten that I couldn't eat. Cause I can't remember. I think it had something in there I couldn't eat. And I was like, well, I've got this, it's been in my car all day. And she inhaled it.
Speaker 2:No napkins, no utensils needed.
Speaker 3:That's amazing. And I'm
Speaker 1:not a fast eater. I eat like a bird and I don't eat a lot.
Speaker 2:I scurfed you on. Yeah. No. It was a. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah. There's just noises coming from the passengers.
Speaker 1:No shame. Yeah.
Speaker 2:No shame. No no shame. None.
Speaker 1:I'm like, you're
Speaker 2:off of water? Yeah. Cause we, you know, we've had dinner together and yeah, no, she liked tea eats and I've seen her like eat in, in public, but she was
Speaker 3:in private in this, in the passenger seat of your car. She felt very trusting of
Speaker 2:you that you could just shove it all in. She was yeah. It was it was good. It was
Speaker 3:It was hungry.
Speaker 1:That's she was
Speaker 2:yeah. It was good.
Speaker 3:Were not afraid
Speaker 1:of the outcome. It was not. And
Speaker 2:then it was probably it was probably the best food you had all the time.
Speaker 1:I don't remember it. I don't remember anything from that day.
Speaker 3:Are you serious? Should be. We were bored. That's scary.
Speaker 2:She doesn't remember getting home.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I don't remember getting home. I was on another planet.
Speaker 3:What did you take in the morning?
Speaker 1:I hit my vape pen.
Speaker 3:Pretty sure. Was it one of those days where you were like, wait, did I already have did I already do that? I've done that.
Speaker 2:I've done that.
Speaker 3:And then I accidentally am like, oh, tug one too many balls. Now I better find it less taxing.
Speaker 2:Or it's like, okay. I had that gummy. Oh, shoot. I took that. Oh, man.
Speaker 2:Don't worry. I'm gonna go lay down now.
Speaker 3:Yep. I need a nap. I'll come back to this.
Speaker 1:Kim gave me gummies this past weekend and I was feeling
Speaker 2:Her pain. For her foot. Yes. Because we were, you know, at a at a venue for a concert, and she's dancing with her, you know, broken foot.
Speaker 3:It's like you don't have a broken foot. Can I just say it? It's like you're just living your life like you don't have a broken foot. But yeah.
Speaker 2:That's what I needed. I needed to bring a a care package. And and, of course, I'm opening them. Okay. You're gonna eat one of these, and now you're gonna eat one of these, and then we're gonna have a little tincture.
Speaker 2:Listen. You're gonna and she's like, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Speaker 2:Your marijuana me mom
Speaker 3:was taking good care of you.
Speaker 2:You know, baby birdying her.
Speaker 1:It was amazing, and I felt so relaxed.
Speaker 2:Sorry. I
Speaker 3:bet you said energized
Speaker 2:too because you were you needed the energy. You're like Yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean, maybe we should trust Kim with your 100 milligram dosing. Not me. Maybe that should be the wise.
Speaker 2:You do need to
Speaker 1:earn back your trust. I do.
Speaker 3:But you trust followed when we had our little thing earlier before we started recording. I said, if you say anything, this is our trust fall right here. And you, you let me fall.
Speaker 2:You caught me. So we're good. It's priorities and quality versus quantity and taking care of yourself and yourself will take care of everything else. Yeah. Being, yeah.
Speaker 2:Going back to what we said earlier, true to yourself. Bottom line.
Speaker 3:That's like the secret to life. That's a secret sauce.
Speaker 2:That's not a secret sauce. And know that we're always learning or we're always growing. There's never a done either. And just be like, I'm in this process. I'm where am I going today?
Speaker 2:What am I going to do next week? What am I gonna do?
Speaker 3:One of the biggest lessons I have picked up from hanging out with Kimberly is it's doesn't need to it's not done.
Speaker 2:We're not done.
Speaker 3:She says this to me
Speaker 2:and it's I pretty much every day we dodge.
Speaker 3:My mind because I am so attached to that done.
Speaker 2:Yeah. We can't launch it now. We can't do this. We, you know, we we we it's not ready. It's not ready.
Speaker 2:It's like it will never be ready. It just needs to go.
Speaker 3:Yeah. It doesn't need to be done. And it just like it just my brain goes, I don't know how to process that.
Speaker 1:You guys,
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 1:I love that. So I sent out a text to my friend. They're going through a hard time and I, they thanked me for holding space for them the other day. And to give you some context, so I said, Mondays are some of my favorite days, the start of a new week. The beautiful thing about life is you can start over and reinvent yourself at any time.
Speaker 1:Don't be afraid of fresh starts, embrace them and chase after what you want. Mhmm. I'm like, I'm a damn good friend. You are a damn good friend.
Speaker 2:Every day is a fresh start.
Speaker 3:Yes. Every breath
Speaker 2:is a fresh start. I mean, we are always free, you know, starting over. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's
Speaker 3:what we're supposed to be doing. We're supposed to change.
Speaker 1:Mhmm. Supposed to be evolving and growing and I yes. Time to embrace it. It's it's you can't I think people get addicted to running away from shit. Mhmm.
Speaker 2:And
Speaker 3:because it's easy to see.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah. They wanna stay in their comfort zone.
Speaker 3:Well, I'll
Speaker 2:tell you, comfort zone is where all the magic is. They always say that.
Speaker 3:But it's but it's true. Like, but And you can be comfortable. You can, but the growth happens when you're in this shit. Yeah. Like, we're all amazing people because we've all been through some shit.
Speaker 2:Oh, you don't even know the shit that I've been through.
Speaker 3:Like like, it's amazing to me that you have, like, another 13, 15 years on top of the shit that I have. Mhmm. Right? So, like, that's amazing. Like, because the people who have had crap happen in their life, they're given a choice of either growing or staying in the place where resentment and fear takes over.
Speaker 1:Mhmm.
Speaker 3:And both you and I and you, we've all chosen the first path. We've all decided, no, I'm gonna move on from this. I'm gonna grow from this. And I think that's what makes great, awesome people, is the people who have had adversity because you've had to look at the world from a different perspective. Somebody who's lived a cake life, what do they know about life?
Speaker 3:I don't wanna take advice from that person. I'm good. You've never been to a funeral? Nope. I don't care what you think about life.
Speaker 3:Come back to me after you've lived some.
Speaker 1:That's absolutely true. And I think I can apply that to like where I'm at with my life. Like I have started to prioritize my needs and my wants and I can Thank you. It feels good to say that because for a long time, like I've, I completely lost myself and especially like trying to date again. There has to be so much discernment and you have to very quickly start to read people and then coming to that is learning how to trust myself.
Speaker 1:And even though I'm very intuitive, it's like, why am I feeling that way? So you can have your feelings and then you have to like, decompartmentalize from your heart and be like, I can feel this way, but logically like this is what's happening.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Put the intuition in there and you know, like, yeah. You have to keep that going.
Speaker 1:And there's a lot of broken people out there and I'm not perfect. I come
Speaker 2:with my own an unbroken person.
Speaker 3:I don't actually, I've never met the together people.
Speaker 2:No. Because we don't I mean, we don't exist.
Speaker 3:Who doesn't have a few chips and breaks?
Speaker 1:I love that. Mhmm.
Speaker 3:You know, we had we did this picture over the weekend and I posted it on my Facebook page and we had a bunch of people reach out and say, you guys look so happy. And like, it was amazing to hear that feedback because that's how I feel.
Speaker 1:Erin, that photo was stunning. You got a new haircut.
Speaker 2:You look amazing. You guys
Speaker 1:look so incredibly happy. Like you are glowing.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Cause we are.
Speaker 2:Right? And you see it that just so you can see it.
Speaker 3:Yeah. And I love the fact that I've gotten to this place in life where my outside reflects my inside. Because for a very long time, those were 2 polar opposite things. Right? I was presenting as something, but on the inside I was just crunchy and kind of dying.
Speaker 3:And so like to be in a place where I'm that authentic is so liberating. It's amazing. Like, and this is what all that work was for.
Speaker 1:I love that. You know, I had to sit down and, make a checklist of what success meant for me in my thirties and, I'll, I'll see if I can find it for the next episode. I really love that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that would be good.
Speaker 1:I had to really sit down, be intentional and define what it meant to me and the majority of it's talking about protecting my peace. Like Like what do I want out of life? Like I'm not defined whether I'm single or in a relationship. Just because I have nobody to do something with doesn't mean I'm going to sit at home and I have been bed rotting. I have just been really a succubus to my bed and I have been so scared to get out and try new things and,
Speaker 3:And you're doing it all with a broken foot. Can we not forget that part? Yeah. I mean, all these really
Speaker 2:hard things.
Speaker 3:Sometimes you need to just
Speaker 2:sit and then, you know, come back like like the phoenix. Yeah. You'll rise out of the the bed rot very soon and go to many, many concerts and Packer games.
Speaker 1:Yes. All the things.
Speaker 2:All the
Speaker 3:things you want to do. Continue to live seriously through you.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You don't have to ask permission or, you know, drag somebody who doesn't wanna go. It's like, just live your best life. Yeah. That's what I'm trying to.
Speaker 1:You have to do.
Speaker 2:You need to. Yeah. That's why we're here.
Speaker 3:You'll find the train of ground. You'll find the train
Speaker 2:of ground. Okay.
Speaker 3:Thanks, friends. We'll see you next time.
