1
00:00:47,969 --> 00:00:48,479
Abby: All right.

2
00:00:48,539 --> 00:00:51,434
Here we are . Welcome to today's episode.

3
00:00:51,614 --> 00:00:52,514
Hello Fallon.

4
00:00:52,716 --> 00:00:56,360
Hi, Abby .  today we're gonna be
talking about very important topic

5
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,140
that as I was telling Fallon before
we got on this, I went down to write

6
00:01:00,145 --> 00:01:04,920
notes about it and was basically
started writing a freaking essay.

7
00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:08,850
So, apparently, We have a lot to
say on this topic, which is gonna

8
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:11,790
be all about body image today.

9
00:01:12,402 --> 00:01:12,912
Fallon: Yeah.

10
00:01:12,912 --> 00:01:16,212
I think we both have such a deep journey
with our own body image as well as

11
00:01:16,212 --> 00:01:21,522
guiding women through theirs, that
it's gonna be another episode that.

12
00:01:22,202 --> 00:01:25,832
We're gonna, it'll be interesting
how to tie this up, . I know.

13
00:01:26,612 --> 00:01:28,772
How do we, how do we put
a bow on this at the end?

14
00:01:28,982 --> 00:01:29,702
But cuz it's an

15
00:01:29,702 --> 00:01:31,772
Abby: ongoing, it is an ongoing thing.

16
00:01:31,772 --> 00:01:35,702
And I guess I will say I didn't write any
notes, so this might be something to come

17
00:01:35,702 --> 00:01:41,102
back to, but I didn't write any notes
necessarily about, um, body image for men.

18
00:01:41,162 --> 00:01:44,462
This is really for me, more
focused on body image for women.

19
00:01:44,852 --> 00:01:45,032
Yes.

20
00:01:45,062 --> 00:01:47,612
Um, so I guess I wanna say that
in the beginning that this is

21
00:01:47,612 --> 00:01:50,222
gonna be definitely more focused
towards the women's perspective.

22
00:01:51,217 --> 00:02:00,182
. Um, but I mean, one of the things
we both touched on is how the

23
00:02:00,182 --> 00:02:02,612
patriarchy ties into all of this.

24
00:02:03,182 --> 00:02:04,382
Yes.

25
00:02:04,502 --> 00:02:07,772
And I think we could probably both go
on for days about the patriarchy, but

26
00:02:08,772 --> 00:02:09,262
Fallon: Yeah.

27
00:02:09,542 --> 00:02:12,842
And we can, you know, we can make
the patriarchy as bad as we want.

28
00:02:13,697 --> 00:02:16,622
. Um, but we didn't know
better than to buy into it.

29
00:02:16,982 --> 00:02:17,372
Yeah.

30
00:02:17,642 --> 00:02:20,462
So there's also this self responsibility
that we get to take that like, okay,

31
00:02:20,462 --> 00:02:23,072
yes, this is the pressures that
we received from society and the

32
00:02:23,072 --> 00:02:27,962
patriarchy and that women needed to
act and look and be a certain way

33
00:02:27,967 --> 00:02:30,152
to be accepted or, or have value.

34
00:02:30,152 --> 00:02:35,162
And also we all unconsciously chose
that because we didn't know better.

35
00:02:35,167 --> 00:02:38,837
And now that we know better, , we get to
pull that responsibility back and really

36
00:02:38,837 --> 00:02:44,267
do our self-love and like really the
nurturing of what we most need around body

37
00:02:44,267 --> 00:02:49,037
image, because it is such a vulnerable,
I mean, even still, you know, I mm-hmm.

38
00:02:49,117 --> 00:02:53,057
I think for both of us and for many
women, as much as we've really deepened

39
00:02:53,057 --> 00:02:57,227
into the appreciation of our bodies,
It's still really sensitive and really

40
00:02:57,227 --> 00:02:59,417
vulnerable and can bring up a lot.

41
00:02:59,417 --> 00:03:04,247
So as you listen, I think just be
really, just notice what's happening in

42
00:03:04,247 --> 00:03:05,567
your body as you're listening to this.

43
00:03:05,572 --> 00:03:06,317
Notice what's coming up.

44
00:03:06,317 --> 00:03:06,407
Mm-hmm.

45
00:03:06,652 --> 00:03:11,747
and just, just stay really present and
love on you, um, through this, but also.

46
00:03:12,947 --> 00:03:13,217
Yeah.

47
00:03:13,367 --> 00:03:14,327
Abby: Step into this more.

48
00:03:14,657 --> 00:03:14,987
Yeah.

49
00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:18,797
Notice the places where you might
be buying into things that you don't

50
00:03:18,797 --> 00:03:20,507
realize that you're buying into things.

51
00:03:20,987 --> 00:03:21,077
Mm-hmm.

52
00:03:21,317 --> 00:03:26,057
or the way that you might be noticing
a girl on Instagram and you notice that

53
00:03:26,057 --> 00:03:27,587
she's really pretty and she's really.

54
00:03:28,322 --> 00:03:31,352
Thin or appears to have the best body.

55
00:03:31,352 --> 00:03:36,842
And then you look at yours and you know,
you have the whole comparison and shame,

56
00:03:37,082 --> 00:03:39,212
you know, component playing into that.

57
00:03:39,422 --> 00:03:43,442
Cuz I think that's, that's probably where
it, it hits us the most nowadays is in

58
00:03:43,442 --> 00:03:47,912
social media, you know, and obviously like
in TV and film and all of that stuff, but

59
00:03:47,912 --> 00:03:52,472
like social media is a part of our, for
I would say, most people's daily life.

60
00:03:53,072 --> 00:03:58,877
And it is such a, I mean, it's all
kind of a racket, you know, cuz

61
00:03:58,877 --> 00:04:01,097
we're all just showing many, oh gosh.

62
00:04:01,097 --> 00:04:02,447
I have an aunt crawling on me.

63
00:04:02,777 --> 00:04:03,407
Amazing.

64
00:04:03,797 --> 00:04:04,607
That, what does that mean?

65
00:04:04,817 --> 00:04:05,297
Um,

66
00:04:05,747 --> 00:04:06,107
Fallon: yeah.

67
00:04:06,107 --> 00:04:09,317
Well, and you know, so I'm,
I'm a, I'm a Tad bitt older.

68
00:04:09,317 --> 00:04:14,207
I'm an early eighties baby, and so my
space was really big, you know, when

69
00:04:14,207 --> 00:04:19,832
I was in my early twenties and, I
remember my girlfriends and I instantly

70
00:04:20,162 --> 00:04:22,862
Abby: feeling smaller

71
00:04:23,342 --> 00:04:26,972
Fallon: as we entered the MySpace
world of the MySpace models.

72
00:04:27,527 --> 00:04:30,377
You know, there was like Tela tequila
and there was all these really,

73
00:04:30,377 --> 00:04:31,637
and I remember we would see wow.

74
00:04:31,637 --> 00:04:31,937
A name.

75
00:04:33,017 --> 00:04:33,527
Abby: Oh, do you?

76
00:04:33,532 --> 00:04:34,587
You haven't heard that in so long.

77
00:04:34,587 --> 00:04:35,107
Oh, no.

78
00:04:35,107 --> 00:04:36,707
I know who I'm talking about, right?

79
00:04:36,707 --> 00:04:37,027
Yeah,

80
00:04:37,027 --> 00:04:37,307
Fallon: I do.

81
00:04:37,307 --> 00:04:37,667
I do.

82
00:04:37,797 --> 00:04:39,917
So we entered the space
in our early twenties.

83
00:04:39,917 --> 00:04:43,817
So not only were we raised, you know,
eighties, eighties babies, nineties

84
00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:46,487
and early two thousands, watching
the really skinny models come up.

85
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:47,867
That was

86
00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:48,737
Abby: secret models too.

87
00:04:49,107 --> 00:04:49,817
Fallon: Victoria's Secret being.

88
00:04:50,337 --> 00:04:50,907
Right.

89
00:04:50,907 --> 00:04:51,027
Mm-hmm.

90
00:04:51,217 --> 00:04:55,647
and that, and, and I remember I had a
friend that was that skinny, um, and

91
00:04:55,647 --> 00:04:59,007
feeling, and gosh, it's so funny to go
back and look at pictures of myself, but,

92
00:04:59,427 --> 00:05:02,607
but again, buying into the patriarchy,
buying into this societal pressure that,

93
00:05:02,607 --> 00:05:06,477
like beauty is of any one thing Yeah.

94
00:05:06,477 --> 00:05:08,877
Of any one thing that, that is Right.

95
00:05:08,877 --> 00:05:12,057
It, it, I, I don't, cause I don't wanna
minimize being skinny or, or I don't

96
00:05:12,057 --> 00:05:14,137
wanna make that bad either, but, right.

97
00:05:14,142 --> 00:05:17,377
But long story short, coming into the
MySpace world, I remember we were all.

98
00:05:18,137 --> 00:05:20,867
Oh my God, the women are so beautiful.

99
00:05:21,107 --> 00:05:26,537
And it was the first time that we
felt everyday women like ourselves.

100
00:05:26,897 --> 00:05:27,167
Right?

101
00:05:27,167 --> 00:05:29,357
Because it, like you said,
TVs and movies are one thing,

102
00:05:29,357 --> 00:05:30,557
magazines are another thing.

103
00:05:31,037 --> 00:05:34,667
But then to log onto a space
where quote unquote regular people

104
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:39,527
existed like ourselves and we
felt we did not compare at all.

105
00:05:39,532 --> 00:05:40,087
Mm-hmm.

106
00:05:40,487 --> 00:05:43,607
, that really exacerbated a lot of my own.

107
00:05:44,327 --> 00:05:51,827
Body image things or my own desire
to be seen as a beautiful, in shape,

108
00:05:51,827 --> 00:05:53,267
whatever that meant at the time.

109
00:05:53,267 --> 00:05:53,447
Mm-hmm.

110
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:57,597
, you know, woman to, to be of
value, to feel like men could.

111
00:05:58,532 --> 00:06:00,962
Like me or women could want to be me.

112
00:06:00,962 --> 00:06:02,702
And it was so unconscious, you know?

113
00:06:02,702 --> 00:06:06,902
Bless my sweetheart, but, but it's
only gotten bigger since then.

114
00:06:06,902 --> 00:06:10,082
And I think we've made a lot of strides
in social media recognizing that.

115
00:06:10,082 --> 00:06:12,662
But man, that first introduction was, it

116
00:06:12,662 --> 00:06:13,412
Abby: was rough.

117
00:06:14,192 --> 00:06:16,592
I mean, and we have made a
lot of strides, but there are

118
00:06:16,592 --> 00:06:19,922
still, I mean now it's the rise.

119
00:06:20,957 --> 00:06:23,987
All of the different kinds of
plastic surgery that you can do.

120
00:06:24,047 --> 00:06:24,227
Oh my gosh.

121
00:06:24,227 --> 00:06:25,787
To achieve these different looks.

122
00:06:25,787 --> 00:06:30,947
And from you talking about like the
MySpace stuff, like for me it was,

123
00:06:31,337 --> 00:06:35,057
it was growing up and seeing, you
know, the Victoria's Secret Angels,

124
00:06:35,057 --> 00:06:37,367
like the show is the fashion show.

125
00:06:37,607 --> 00:06:37,697
Mm-hmm.

126
00:06:37,937 --> 00:06:40,067
and being like, well, I
do have that body type.

127
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:44,117
I'm like tall and thin and I have big
boobs and whatever, all of that stuff.

128
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:48,107
But being like, but I'm still not
skinny enough, or my stomach has.

129
00:06:49,337 --> 00:06:50,747
Like any fat on it.

130
00:06:50,747 --> 00:06:53,687
So like I, that makes me
not, I'm not good enough.

131
00:06:53,687 --> 00:06:54,767
I'm not like skinny enough.

132
00:06:54,772 --> 00:06:57,107
Like I shouldn't, like, I don't
feel comfortable in my body

133
00:06:57,107 --> 00:06:58,367
because I don't look like that.

134
00:06:58,367 --> 00:07:02,297
Like I could look like that if I tried
hard enough, you know, quote unquote.

135
00:07:02,447 --> 00:07:02,507
Yeah.

136
00:07:03,617 --> 00:07:08,192
and then all of the things we do in
order to, um, try to fit into those

137
00:07:08,192 --> 00:07:13,262
malts that you buy into when like
your brain is literally still, um, is

138
00:07:13,262 --> 00:07:18,332
still forming, you know, and all of
these beliefs are getting imprinted.

139
00:07:18,332 --> 00:07:22,172
And, and then seeing the people around
you who are doing the same things or

140
00:07:22,172 --> 00:07:26,732
seeing, you know, your mom or your aunts
or you know, other of your friends doing

141
00:07:26,732 --> 00:07:28,292
all of the same things and buying in.

142
00:07:29,402 --> 00:07:30,992
Like you said, that's all we really knew.

143
00:07:31,712 --> 00:07:37,397
And because as a society and as
just human beings, your, your innate

144
00:07:37,742 --> 00:07:41,582
human drive is to want to be part of
a group and be part of a community.

145
00:07:41,582 --> 00:07:43,712
So you're like, if this is
what helps me be a part of the

146
00:07:43,712 --> 00:07:46,022
community, then I'll do it.

147
00:07:46,262 --> 00:07:51,002
You know, because that brings me belonging
and that brings me love by people and.

148
00:07:52,042 --> 00:07:54,767
all of those things come into
play in a really harmful way.

149
00:07:55,817 --> 00:07:56,267
Fallon: Yes.

150
00:07:56,267 --> 00:07:57,197
Can be in a harmful way.

151
00:07:57,197 --> 00:07:57,437
Yes.

152
00:07:57,442 --> 00:08:01,067
And I think also this desire to be
unique and to stand out simultaneously.

153
00:08:01,337 --> 00:08:01,487
Mm-hmm.

154
00:08:01,967 --> 00:08:06,227
, you know, um, and if I'm this way
or I look this way or I have this,

155
00:08:06,527 --> 00:08:08,237
then, then I'm also like, I'm, I'm.

156
00:08:08,872 --> 00:08:11,572
. I'm unique enough that I don't
blend in with the crowd so

157
00:08:11,572 --> 00:08:13,222
much that I'm also noticed.

158
00:08:13,312 --> 00:08:13,402
Mm-hmm.

159
00:08:13,642 --> 00:08:15,622
, you know, or, and there's
also the flip side of that.

160
00:08:15,622 --> 00:08:18,262
I know that that was more for me, but
there's also the flip side of like,

161
00:08:18,292 --> 00:08:20,452
I, many people don't wanna stand out.

162
00:08:20,452 --> 00:08:22,552
Like they're like, let me blend, please.

163
00:08:22,792 --> 00:08:22,882
Mm-hmm.

164
00:08:23,122 --> 00:08:25,642
, the thought of having any
sort of individual attention

165
00:08:25,642 --> 00:08:27,052
on them is frightening.

166
00:08:27,057 --> 00:08:35,152
And so all that to like circle back to,
I think one of the first things that

167
00:08:35,152 --> 00:08:40,697
really started to shift me in my body
image was, I mean, we've talked about

168
00:08:40,697 --> 00:08:47,417
this, but honoring our bodies, but also
like look in the mirror and what can you

169
00:08:47,417 --> 00:08:50,717
change in this moment about it, you know?

170
00:08:50,722 --> 00:08:50,897
Mm-hmm.

171
00:08:50,977 --> 00:08:55,967
and what can you, like you, so
what, what if you radically just

172
00:08:55,967 --> 00:09:00,017
began to accept the smaller boobs or
the bigger boobs or the cellulite?

173
00:09:00,227 --> 00:09:02,597
Like what if you just went against the
grain and been like, you know what?

174
00:09:02,597 --> 00:09:06,377
I'm actually just gonna fucking
start deciding that I'm gonna

175
00:09:06,377 --> 00:09:07,637
love the part of me that doesn't.

176
00:09:08,477 --> 00:09:10,147
This part of me mm-hmm.

177
00:09:10,227 --> 00:09:11,147
, like what if we started there?

178
00:09:11,377 --> 00:09:11,987
Mm-hmm.

179
00:09:12,067 --> 00:09:15,287
, you know, and honoring, and I remember
our, you know, old mentor Viola

180
00:09:15,677 --> 00:09:18,947
talked about how her self-love and
her body image began to shift when

181
00:09:18,947 --> 00:09:23,087
she started to think about things at
a s cell, cellular, cellular level.

182
00:09:23,087 --> 00:09:23,907
I can never say mm-hmm.

183
00:09:24,437 --> 00:09:29,447
of like how her cells actually, you
know, carried, you know, information

184
00:09:29,447 --> 00:09:31,277
and even food and that that mm-hmm.

185
00:09:31,277 --> 00:09:34,157
So we all have a different way of what
we can start to shift the way that.

186
00:09:34,952 --> 00:09:36,662
Relate to being in our skin.

187
00:09:36,662 --> 00:09:37,232
Mm-hmm.

188
00:09:37,462 --> 00:09:43,862
. But it's so special to be in this
vessel that I feel like if you and I

189
00:09:43,952 --> 00:09:49,682
can begin to shift this narrative on
some level, I will be a happy woman.

190
00:09:50,072 --> 00:09:52,862
You know, if it's one person that
walks away from this episode feeling

191
00:09:52,862 --> 00:09:58,052
like my, the skin I'm in is so
beautiful where it is at now, I will.

192
00:09:59,222 --> 00:09:59,612
Happy

193
00:10:00,652 --> 00:10:04,472
. 
Abby: So Well, and, and like
you're saying, it's like the idea

194
00:10:04,472 --> 00:10:08,942
of whether or not you, like for
me, it's coming at it with a.

195
00:10:10,682 --> 00:10:15,332
With a belief of I am, I am like
a soul, I'm a spirit who's here to

196
00:10:15,332 --> 00:10:17,912
experience like this life right now.

197
00:10:18,332 --> 00:10:19,712
And I get this body right now.

198
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:20,352
Mm-hmm.

199
00:10:20,437 --> 00:10:24,632
. And so it's like if I'm, if I'm
this soul that has this body that

200
00:10:24,632 --> 00:10:27,752
has a human body, then like, why
don't we make the most of it?

201
00:10:27,782 --> 00:10:31,382
Why don't we like, Show it off and
play with it and do fun things with

202
00:10:31,382 --> 00:10:35,852
it and like love with it and all of
the things instead of like looking in

203
00:10:35,852 --> 00:10:37,562
the mirror and hating it every day.

204
00:10:37,622 --> 00:10:42,302
You know, it's like, like you're
saying, it's in the ways in which like

205
00:10:42,302 --> 00:10:46,892
the, the patriarchy, this patriarchal
society that we live in, play into it

206
00:10:47,762 --> 00:10:53,132
of, you know, because women have so
much, like we have so much to offer

207
00:10:53,222 --> 00:10:56,402
and, but we get so preoccupied with.

208
00:10:57,587 --> 00:11:06,092
what diet we're on or yeah, what size
we fit into or like in, in, in all of

209
00:11:06,092 --> 00:11:10,562
the ways that it keeps us from actually
reaching the potential that we have.

210
00:11:10,862 --> 00:11:14,702
You know, and that's one of the things
that I think is, is so interesting

211
00:11:14,702 --> 00:11:18,632
about this time is because we
see women really stepping up and

212
00:11:18,632 --> 00:11:21,782
embracing fully like who they are.

213
00:11:22,292 --> 00:11:24,542
And then that's where there's no space.

214
00:11:26,012 --> 00:11:29,342
Not loving, you know, your
body to really be there.

215
00:11:29,372 --> 00:11:31,412
It's like it still will
be there, you know?

216
00:11:31,412 --> 00:11:34,352
Cause it's always gonna be, well,
hopefully not always, but it's,

217
00:11:34,652 --> 00:11:38,672
it's gonna be a thing that we
work on, I think for a long time.

218
00:11:39,122 --> 00:11:39,212
Mm-hmm.

219
00:11:40,232 --> 00:11:45,752
, but I don't remember who posted this,
but there was something about like

220
00:11:45,752 --> 00:11:50,162
how the patriarchy wants to keep
women, basically keep women small and.

221
00:11:51,017 --> 00:11:53,927
And so that like they can keep
running the world so that like

222
00:11:53,927 --> 00:11:55,187
men can keep running the world.

223
00:11:55,217 --> 00:11:58,877
Cuz if you keep women focused on this one
thing over here, then they don't have time

224
00:11:58,877 --> 00:12:01,457
to actually realize how powerful they are.

225
00:12:01,967 --> 00:12:06,307
And like for me, that's where it gets
me really fired up to be like, hey.

226
00:12:07,337 --> 00:12:09,377
, we don't have to like
worry about these things.

227
00:12:09,437 --> 00:12:10,667
You're, you're beautiful.

228
00:12:10,667 --> 00:12:11,657
Your body is healthy.

229
00:12:11,657 --> 00:12:13,157
It can do all of these things.

230
00:12:13,727 --> 00:12:15,647
And what else do you have?

231
00:12:16,037 --> 00:12:19,097
Like what else do you have
to offer The world and Yes.

232
00:12:19,217 --> 00:12:21,137
The people in your life, you know?

233
00:12:21,137 --> 00:12:21,537
Yeah.

234
00:12:21,917 --> 00:12:22,217
Well, yeah.

235
00:12:22,217 --> 00:12:23,327
Fallon: And the wounded masculine, right?

236
00:12:23,327 --> 00:12:24,767
Like when we're talking about
the patriarchy, it's not men.

237
00:12:24,772 --> 00:12:24,917
Mm-hmm.

238
00:12:25,457 --> 00:12:27,017
And, I mean, I know that you, you right.

239
00:12:27,662 --> 00:12:30,302
Like, you've got an amazing fiance now.

240
00:12:30,572 --> 00:12:30,692
Mm-hmm.

241
00:12:31,172 --> 00:12:33,392
, um, who, who supports and all of that.

242
00:12:33,392 --> 00:12:37,742
But it's the wounded masculine who is
so scared of, of the divine feminine

243
00:12:37,892 --> 00:12:40,382
being, coming to rise in her own.

244
00:12:40,532 --> 00:12:41,142
Abby: Mm-hmm.

245
00:12:41,562 --> 00:12:42,452
her own power.

246
00:12:42,692 --> 00:12:42,992
Her own

247
00:12:42,997 --> 00:12:46,622
Fallon: power, her own trust
of self, her own, like what

248
00:12:46,622 --> 00:12:47,882
if she actually loved herself?

249
00:12:47,882 --> 00:12:51,182
And the thing is, I actually think
underneath a lot of this, like as

250
00:12:51,182 --> 00:12:54,032
we're talking, cause I'm, I'm tuning
into different energies, right.

251
00:12:54,037 --> 00:12:54,702
Of like mm-hmm.

252
00:12:54,782 --> 00:12:56,252
of women that I know and old clients.

253
00:12:57,787 --> 00:12:58,267
of.

254
00:12:59,792 --> 00:13:03,362
, it actually feels dangerous to
decide that you are going to love

255
00:13:03,362 --> 00:13:05,042
your body and celebrate your body.

256
00:13:05,042 --> 00:13:05,552
Mm-hmm.

257
00:13:05,632 --> 00:13:08,392
because then who are you in that, right?

258
00:13:08,397 --> 00:13:09,392
Then you're not playing small.

259
00:13:09,392 --> 00:13:11,852
And then, yeah, it goes back to
like what you said, then what if

260
00:13:11,852 --> 00:13:13,802
I'm not accepted and people think
I have a chip on my shoulder?

261
00:13:14,312 --> 00:13:18,182
So there's also the flip side of
subconsciously it might be the way

262
00:13:18,212 --> 00:13:21,092
that you are trying to stay relatable.

263
00:13:21,542 --> 00:13:22,022
Yeah, of course.

264
00:13:22,322 --> 00:13:25,682
You know, um, safe and
all of these things, but.

265
00:13:27,347 --> 00:13:30,662
. And, and I also agree with you, it's
going to be a journey, like as much

266
00:13:30,662 --> 00:13:34,202
work as I've done on my body image
and I feel very comfortable in my

267
00:13:34,202 --> 00:13:36,842
skin and my weight still fluctuates.

268
00:13:36,847 --> 00:13:37,102
Mm-hmm.

269
00:13:37,182 --> 00:13:37,542
quite a bit.

270
00:13:37,542 --> 00:13:37,742
Mm-hmm.

271
00:13:37,822 --> 00:13:40,442
, I mean, I fluctuate about seven
pounds, give or take, depending

272
00:13:40,442 --> 00:13:42,332
on what's happening, right?

273
00:13:42,662 --> 00:13:42,752
Mm-hmm.

274
00:13:43,087 --> 00:13:46,682
, um, I've come to a place of real,
a lot of acceptance and then

275
00:13:46,682 --> 00:13:50,262
even their spaces where I'm still
like, oh, I wish I had bigger.

276
00:13:50,807 --> 00:13:51,267
You know.

277
00:13:51,267 --> 00:13:51,268
Mm-hmm.

278
00:13:51,457 --> 00:13:55,957
, I mean, it will probably always kind
of be there, but I get to love on

279
00:13:55,957 --> 00:13:57,307
the part of me that wishes for more.

280
00:13:57,397 --> 00:13:57,487
Mm-hmm.

281
00:13:57,727 --> 00:13:59,767
and then love where I'm
at cuz can I change it?

282
00:14:00,097 --> 00:14:00,397
Sure.

283
00:14:00,402 --> 00:14:01,747
I could go get plastic surgery.

284
00:14:01,927 --> 00:14:04,297
It's just never felt aligned for me.

285
00:14:04,327 --> 00:14:04,597
Mm-hmm.

286
00:14:04,837 --> 00:14:05,437
personally.

287
00:14:05,977 --> 00:14:09,997
Um, so it is a journey of, of
loving where you're at, but

288
00:14:09,997 --> 00:14:15,487
deciding that, like you said, we're
actually like this is our one life.

289
00:14:15,487 --> 00:14:16,417
Mm-hmm.

290
00:14:16,977 --> 00:14:19,262
. . This is our one life in this vessel.

291
00:14:19,267 --> 00:14:19,502
Right, right.

292
00:14:19,502 --> 00:14:22,022
And whether you believe
this iteration of it, yes.

293
00:14:22,027 --> 00:14:26,882
This iteration, this energetic signature,
this is the vessel that we actually chose.

294
00:14:26,942 --> 00:14:27,302
Mm-hmm.

295
00:14:27,872 --> 00:14:31,022
because there was an experience
that we wanted to have as

296
00:14:31,022 --> 00:14:32,702
a soul in this human body.

297
00:14:32,912 --> 00:14:36,172
How fucking incredible is that, right?

298
00:14:37,112 --> 00:14:37,622
Yes.

299
00:14:37,622 --> 00:14:39,122
Abby: And so, go ahead.

300
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,732
No, I was just gonna say, and
like all of this time that.

301
00:14:42,467 --> 00:14:47,567
We waste caring,  caring about these
things that are, I mean, and God

302
00:14:47,567 --> 00:14:50,657
bless us, like we're so human, and
it's just like such a fucking thing

303
00:14:50,657 --> 00:14:52,157
that everybody, like we all do.

304
00:14:52,457 --> 00:14:52,697
Yes.

305
00:14:52,697 --> 00:14:55,517
You're like, oh, I just, I
wanna feel like, whatever.

306
00:14:55,517 --> 00:14:57,467
And, and that's what I
mean, that's different.

307
00:14:57,467 --> 00:15:01,457
I wanna feel a certain way versus, I wanna
look a certain way, but it reminds me of

308
00:15:01,487 --> 00:15:04,617
like, you know, like in mean girls and
she's like, I wanna lose three pounds.

309
00:15:04,962 --> 00:15:05,562
You know?

310
00:15:05,802 --> 00:15:06,402
Yeah,

311
00:15:07,302 --> 00:15:07,542
Fallon: yeah.

312
00:15:07,542 --> 00:15:10,122
But the feeling and the looking
are, are related, right?

313
00:15:10,182 --> 00:15:10,422
Yeah.

314
00:15:10,722 --> 00:15:12,342
If we look a certain way, then
we're gonna feel a certain

315
00:15:12,342 --> 00:15:13,512
Abby: way and it's not guaranteed.

316
00:15:13,862 --> 00:15:13,982
Right.

317
00:15:14,382 --> 00:15:20,682
and, and like you bring up, you
know, being newly a and that's

318
00:15:24,612 --> 00:15:27,192
bringing up that it's like then all of.

319
00:15:28,097 --> 00:15:32,807
You know, all of these dif these
weird beliefs in for me come rushing

320
00:15:32,807 --> 00:15:36,287
back in and like the whole phrase of
like, oh, shedding for the wedding

321
00:15:36,287 --> 00:15:39,437
and like, needing to get in the best
shape of your life or your wedding.

322
00:15:39,437 --> 00:15:42,947
And I'm like, Hmm, do I
actually believe this?

323
00:15:43,097 --> 00:15:44,837
I mean, do I feel pretty good?

324
00:15:44,837 --> 00:15:45,677
Like where I'm at now?

325
00:15:45,677 --> 00:15:46,187
Yes.

326
00:15:46,667 --> 00:15:48,317
Do I have a desire?

327
00:15:48,317 --> 00:15:52,487
Is there a desire still within
me to feel and look a little bit?

328
00:15:53,327 --> 00:15:54,137
If I'm being honest.

329
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:54,647
Yes.

330
00:15:54,947 --> 00:15:55,487
Yeah.

331
00:15:55,817 --> 00:16:00,677
And being like, okay, but am I
not loving myself now as I am?

332
00:16:00,737 --> 00:16:01,637
No, I'm not.

333
00:16:01,727 --> 00:16:04,997
I mean, yes, I am still, and
no, I'm not, not loving myself.

334
00:16:05,087 --> 00:16:05,297
Right.

335
00:16:05,537 --> 00:16:05,837
Yeah.

336
00:16:05,837 --> 00:16:06,137
I gotcha.

337
00:16:06,137 --> 00:16:08,447
But it's interesting.

338
00:16:09,767 --> 00:16:14,867
when like you get confronted with these
things and then you're like, oh wait,

339
00:16:14,867 --> 00:16:19,577
and if I hadn't done this work, it's
like you could easily see yourself going

340
00:16:19,582 --> 00:16:24,647
into that mind spiral of like, okay, well
like what workout plan do I wanna get on?

341
00:16:24,652 --> 00:16:28,967
Or like, maybe I should start like
this one diet so I can really feel and

342
00:16:28,967 --> 00:16:31,787
look like my skinniest and my whatever.

343
00:16:31,787 --> 00:16:34,937
Cuz like I am gonna be in all of
these photos and I wanna look a photo,

344
00:16:34,997 --> 00:16:36,677
like I want the photos to look good.

345
00:16:37,652 --> 00:16:41,762
and it's like immediately when like
these, like life events and now it's

346
00:16:41,762 --> 00:16:46,622
like, it triggers like, okay, no, I don't
know, I don't know about these beliefs.

347
00:16:46,622 --> 00:16:53,282
Like let me re re decide like
what are the ones that I really

348
00:16:53,282 --> 00:16:54,992
am believing in in this moment?

349
00:16:54,997 --> 00:16:57,242
And it's, you know what, maybe I want to.

350
00:16:58,712 --> 00:17:04,172
Just get back into, into better routines
because I mean, the other part of this

351
00:17:04,172 --> 00:17:07,502
too, that I'm sure I'll mention more
in these episodes is that we've been

352
00:17:07,502 --> 00:17:11,312
traveling for the last two years, and
so it's like just being in a healthy

353
00:17:11,317 --> 00:17:16,112
routine in terms of the kinds of foods
that I'm eating and the movement that

354
00:17:16,112 --> 00:17:21,182
I am engaging in, you know, has been
a struggle at times because mm-hmm.

355
00:17:21,662 --> 00:17:28,112
you wanna be able to, Be in different
places and experience all the foods and,

356
00:17:28,532 --> 00:17:31,322
but, and sometimes like the foods that
you normally eat just aren't available

357
00:17:31,412 --> 00:17:33,632
in other countries or other places.

358
00:17:33,842 --> 00:17:40,742
And yeah, so it's more of like, okay,
well while I'm here, how do I want to.

359
00:17:41,402 --> 00:17:45,902
Nourish myself in the best way
possible versus how do I want

360
00:17:45,902 --> 00:17:51,242
to get as skinny as possible so
that I look the best on the day?

361
00:17:51,322 --> 00:17:51,722
Yes.

362
00:17:51,742 --> 00:17:54,082
Nourishment, you know, over everything.

363
00:17:54,087 --> 00:17:54,302
Yes.

364
00:17:54,392 --> 00:17:56,792
Fallon: What does that mean over
everything feel like for you?

365
00:17:56,792 --> 00:17:59,732
What does nourishment mean
to you as an individual?

366
00:18:00,242 --> 00:18:04,622
Unplug from social media, unplug
from everything around you and tap

367
00:18:04,622 --> 00:18:09,062
into your body and yourself and ask
what does nourishment mean for me?

368
00:18:09,062 --> 00:18:09,992
And what does that look like?

369
00:18:09,992 --> 00:18:13,442
Because it's not gonna be
just, just what you eat, right?

370
00:18:13,502 --> 00:18:15,182
A diet is not something you're on and off.

371
00:18:15,182 --> 00:18:16,592
A diet is, is a way of life.

372
00:18:16,592 --> 00:18:17,162
Mm-hmm.

373
00:18:17,522 --> 00:18:24,602
. Um, but, but something I also, as I'm
listening to you speak, it reminds me

374
00:18:24,602 --> 00:18:26,372
it was just only a couple days ago.

375
00:18:27,137 --> 00:18:30,407
and I, and I, I mean, and I've
been doing this on and off, is

376
00:18:30,407 --> 00:18:32,147
reminding myself that I am a miracle.

377
00:18:32,177 --> 00:18:33,497
Like I look at my daughter mm-hmm.

378
00:18:33,737 --> 00:18:36,737
, because I will, I will reflect
back to you or share with

379
00:18:36,737 --> 00:18:38,447
you when you become a mother.

380
00:18:38,447 --> 00:18:41,747
The same thing happens is, is
the quote unquote bounce back.

381
00:18:41,747 --> 00:18:44,327
Like how, especially if you've
already been in shape when you

382
00:18:44,327 --> 00:18:45,557
had before you've had a child.

383
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:48,397
You have a child, you're like, oh,
there's this bounce back and or get

384
00:18:48,397 --> 00:18:48,587
Abby: your body.

385
00:18:49,282 --> 00:18:51,552
Yeah, it's, it's like it doesn't lose it.

386
00:18:52,042 --> 00:18:52,372
Fallon: Yeah.

387
00:18:52,372 --> 00:18:53,122
It's still here.

388
00:18:53,122 --> 00:18:56,212
And it just formed life
over 10 full moons, so.

389
00:18:56,482 --> 00:18:56,572
Right.

390
00:18:56,722 --> 00:19:00,772
And I pushed it out and I did all
the things and I breastfed and I had

391
00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:04,462
the, you know, you get the, the baby
blues and like, there's so much that

392
00:19:04,462 --> 00:19:09,802
we're just focused on the superficial
of, I have more worth in society

393
00:19:09,802 --> 00:19:12,112
if I can get my pre-baby body back.

394
00:19:12,112 --> 00:19:13,282
And it's like, what does that even mean?

395
00:19:13,282 --> 00:19:15,202
Because you're never
gonna be pre-baby again.

396
00:19:15,932 --> 00:19:16,232
Right.

397
00:19:16,292 --> 00:19:17,992
You're always gonna be post-baby.

398
00:19:18,102 --> 00:19:18,712
Mm-hmm.

399
00:19:18,792 --> 00:19:22,562
. And so as much as I like didn't wanna
buy into that, I could feel myself it,

400
00:19:22,562 --> 00:19:25,772
because it took me probably a solid
year to lose, like last 10 pounds.

401
00:19:26,102 --> 00:19:30,632
And I would dance in and out of
permission and shame and permission.

402
00:19:30,632 --> 00:19:30,782
Right.

403
00:19:30,782 --> 00:19:31,592
And, but that's the road.

404
00:19:31,622 --> 00:19:31,712
Mm-hmm.

405
00:19:32,072 --> 00:19:34,712
, that's the road of like, really
can I love myself where I'm at?

406
00:19:35,792 --> 00:19:38,732
and then nourish the shame of like,
okay, there's that pressure, that

407
00:19:38,732 --> 00:19:41,112
internal pressure that somehow mm-hmm.

408
00:19:41,192 --> 00:19:46,712
, I have it more together if I
get my baby, pre-baby body back.

409
00:19:46,712 --> 00:19:46,922
That

410
00:19:46,922 --> 00:19:49,502
Abby: somehow I, and what
does it mean about you if

411
00:19:49,502 --> 00:19:50,702
Fallon: you don't and if you don't?

412
00:19:50,707 --> 00:19:52,622
Especially where I've been in,
you know, at the time I was a

413
00:19:52,622 --> 00:19:53,792
CrossFit gym owner and mm-hmm.

414
00:19:53,872 --> 00:19:56,192
, so I had to really watch and like,
it's the same thing you're doing,

415
00:19:56,192 --> 00:19:59,592
you're watching these stories come
up that we've got into mm-hmm.

416
00:19:59,672 --> 00:20:00,552
for so long and.

417
00:20:01,097 --> 00:20:04,877
I don't know that I wanna buy into
that anymore, and recognizing that

418
00:20:05,147 --> 00:20:08,147
as the stories come up, it's just
the activation of the nervous system.

419
00:20:09,347 --> 00:20:10,097
It's just an act.

420
00:20:10,337 --> 00:20:12,647
The nervous system is just
awakened by something.

421
00:20:12,827 --> 00:20:12,917
Yep.

422
00:20:13,307 --> 00:20:15,377
It's not a fact of anything.

423
00:20:15,382 --> 00:20:15,527
Exactly.

424
00:20:15,527 --> 00:20:16,727
It's just feedback.

425
00:20:16,732 --> 00:20:19,167
It's it's facts over, it's just feedback.

426
00:20:19,637 --> 00:20:19,907
Exactly.

427
00:20:19,907 --> 00:20:23,837
And coming back around as I look at
my daughter, you know, she's five

428
00:20:23,842 --> 00:20:28,307
and a half now, and every day I'm
just like, gosh, you're a miracle.

429
00:20:28,307 --> 00:20:31,427
Like in my, in my being, I'm like,
she's such a miracle and not, you

430
00:20:31,427 --> 00:20:34,127
know, and I'm a mom and I yell and I
lose my shit and I, you know, I'm very

431
00:20:34,127 --> 00:20:39,752
human mom, but, , I realized through
this process is I am also a miracle.

432
00:20:39,752 --> 00:20:40,322
Mm-hmm.

433
00:20:40,712 --> 00:20:43,022
. And then if I can begin to
view myself as a miracle.

434
00:20:43,022 --> 00:20:48,122
So I went to the beach the other
day by myself and I chose to look at

435
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:49,682
everybody on the beach as a miracle.

436
00:20:49,922 --> 00:20:50,072
Mm-hmm.

437
00:20:50,342 --> 00:20:51,992
, 
Abby: because they are, yeah.

438
00:20:52,262 --> 00:20:52,872
I love that.

439
00:20:53,822 --> 00:20:57,632
Fallon: and how can we tap back into that
truth that you sitting in front of me

440
00:20:57,632 --> 00:21:00,272
here on Zoom together, you're a miracle.

441
00:21:00,332 --> 00:21:00,942
Mm-hmm.

442
00:21:01,022 --> 00:21:02,072
, I mean like Really?

443
00:21:02,072 --> 00:21:02,222
Yeah.

444
00:21:02,432 --> 00:21:04,022
And I get to see you in that.

445
00:21:04,652 --> 00:21:05,042
Abby: Yeah.

446
00:21:05,252 --> 00:21:09,842
And it's like what we were talked about
before we started recording . It's like,

447
00:21:10,262 --> 00:21:13,532
what have you started every day being
like looking in the mirror, being like,

448
00:21:13,532 --> 00:21:15,482
damn, girl, you're a fucking miracle.

449
00:21:16,017 --> 00:21:19,712
and like what and how would life be
different if that's like the way that

450
00:21:19,712 --> 00:21:24,002
you started it and if you looked at your
body being like, and you're a miracle and

451
00:21:24,002 --> 00:21:27,902
your, those legs that carry me to all the
places I wanna go is a miracle of the arms

452
00:21:27,902 --> 00:21:30,392
that I have to like lift up my daughter.

453
00:21:30,422 --> 00:21:31,862
Wow, you're a fucking miracle.

454
00:21:32,492 --> 00:21:36,062
I mean, it's like things like
that where, because not every.

455
00:21:36,832 --> 00:21:40,642
Has that, and like you see, we all get
those stories and you see those like

456
00:21:40,942 --> 00:21:47,152
stories about people who, you know, just
don't have, don't have the full health

457
00:21:47,152 --> 00:21:51,202
or they, they lose limbs or just all
of the different ways in which like,

458
00:21:53,122 --> 00:21:59,582
we forget that we are a miracle and
you need, it's like you need reminders

459
00:21:59,587 --> 00:22:04,012
all the time, but what if that's
just how you lived your life knowing.

460
00:22:05,007 --> 00:22:06,227
Fallon: And Yeah.

461
00:22:06,227 --> 00:22:09,197
Or at least, or at least introducing
yourself to it in the beginning.

462
00:22:09,197 --> 00:22:09,257
Yeah.

463
00:22:09,287 --> 00:22:13,817
Even if you don't know it, what if I
just gently sit down to coffee or tea

464
00:22:13,817 --> 00:22:15,527
with the fact that I might be a miracle?

465
00:22:15,857 --> 00:22:15,917
Yeah.

466
00:22:15,917 --> 00:22:20,867
What if I just gently let that come in
and, and you know, something that you and

467
00:22:20,867 --> 00:22:23,657
I, I know together that is so important.

468
00:22:23,657 --> 00:22:25,727
That is the most abundant is our health.

469
00:22:26,447 --> 00:22:27,017
Mm-hmm.

470
00:22:27,767 --> 00:22:31,007
. , you know, and that looks,
everybody looks, if I comp

471
00:22:31,007 --> 00:22:32,237
compare, you know, I'm five seven.

472
00:22:32,267 --> 00:22:32,867
Mm-hmm.

473
00:22:33,107 --> 00:22:36,827
, roughly 160 pounds, which really,
the numbers are nothing but just

474
00:22:36,832 --> 00:22:39,127
some sort of context to, to mm-hmm.

475
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:43,667
, to, you know, whatever, how I
show up in this gravity of earth.

476
00:22:43,672 --> 00:22:45,017
Right, right.

477
00:22:45,137 --> 00:22:48,977
But if I growing up, I would've
probably compared myself to you.

478
00:22:48,982 --> 00:22:49,247
Mm-hmm.

479
00:22:49,327 --> 00:22:50,747
, the tall, angelic blonde.

480
00:22:51,142 --> 00:22:51,437
. Mm-hmm.

481
00:22:51,617 --> 00:22:55,517
with big boobs and, and just, and also,
I mean, you're just so radiant and so

482
00:22:55,517 --> 00:22:56,927
beautiful on the inside too, right?

483
00:22:56,927 --> 00:22:59,447
I mean, you are, but it's how.

484
00:23:00,187 --> 00:23:04,442
also like how asinine of my five
seven Burnett's self, right.

485
00:23:04,832 --> 00:23:08,822
With an athletic body to compare
myself to the long lean Abby.

486
00:23:09,032 --> 00:23:09,122
Right.

487
00:23:09,122 --> 00:23:12,782
It it's just your, that is
your expression in the world.

488
00:23:12,782 --> 00:23:13,262
Mm-hmm.

489
00:23:13,412 --> 00:23:15,902
, which is so important in the miracle,
and this is my expression, which

490
00:23:15,902 --> 00:23:17,282
is so important in the miracle.

491
00:23:17,402 --> 00:23:18,502
Abby: Right, exactly.

492
00:23:19,232 --> 00:23:21,482
And that, and all of that being.

493
00:23:22,307 --> 00:23:27,167
I would be the same way on the other
side because we always want the things

494
00:23:27,167 --> 00:23:31,217
that we, we always covet, like the
things that we don't have, instead of

495
00:23:31,217 --> 00:23:35,447
like looking down and being like, damn,
this is pretty fucking amazing here.

496
00:23:35,627 --> 00:23:35,927
You know?

497
00:23:36,107 --> 00:23:36,257
Yes.

498
00:23:36,617 --> 00:23:39,407
And cuz I could look at
you and be like, oh wow.

499
00:23:39,407 --> 00:23:43,877
Like somebody who actually can have
like, Muscles, what would that be like?

500
00:23:45,557 --> 00:23:45,707
. ? Yeah.

501
00:23:45,707 --> 00:23:49,757
Who looks like really strong
and, and has like a butt.

502
00:23:49,757 --> 00:23:52,727
I'm like all of the, you know, like
Jameson and I will talk about this

503
00:23:52,732 --> 00:23:55,757
all the time, and he'll be like, well,
you know, if you like, this is, you

504
00:23:55,757 --> 00:23:57,257
know, classic man thing to say too.

505
00:23:57,407 --> 00:24:01,127
Being like, well, you know, if you
there, you could like build it up.

506
00:24:01,127 --> 00:24:03,617
And I'm like, yeah, I could,
but like, it'll never.

507
00:24:04,232 --> 00:24:06,842
I could do it in a way that
like was healthy and, but

508
00:24:06,842 --> 00:24:08,192
like, is this my body type?

509
00:24:08,192 --> 00:24:09,212
Not really sure.

510
00:24:09,242 --> 00:24:12,092
I could make it, I could make it
more muscular, but like, is it ever,

511
00:24:12,122 --> 00:24:16,482
it's not, it's never gonna be what
somebody else's is and what is the,

512
00:24:16,862 --> 00:24:18,722
Fallon: the energy you
would be doing it from?

513
00:24:18,722 --> 00:24:19,862
Yeah, the energy of you.

514
00:24:19,862 --> 00:24:20,922
So it's one thing like.

515
00:24:21,917 --> 00:24:26,192
. I love to lift weights and work
out because there's, there's a,

516
00:24:26,197 --> 00:24:27,782
a moving meditation in it for me.

517
00:24:27,872 --> 00:24:28,082
Mm-hmm.

518
00:24:28,352 --> 00:24:30,872
, there's a connect to my power
where I have always been a little

519
00:24:30,877 --> 00:24:33,662
bit more of a pleaser and played
small in a lot of different ways.

520
00:24:33,667 --> 00:24:33,792
Mm-hmm.

521
00:24:33,912 --> 00:24:35,342
, there's a connection to my power in it.

522
00:24:36,662 --> 00:24:37,142
Abby: Um,

523
00:24:38,597 --> 00:24:40,967
, 
Fallon: but I would also be lying if
I said that there weren't times in my

524
00:24:40,967 --> 00:24:44,237
life where I did it from, I need to
do this because I'm not enough now and

525
00:24:44,237 --> 00:24:45,467
this will help me feel like enough.

526
00:24:45,707 --> 00:24:45,797
Right.

527
00:24:45,797 --> 00:24:47,597
So it's really tapping into the
energy in what you're doing.

528
00:24:47,602 --> 00:24:49,757
It's like if you wanted to
go and build a butt, a bigger

529
00:24:49,757 --> 00:24:50,807
butt than what you have now.

530
00:24:50,867 --> 00:24:50,987
Yeah.

531
00:24:50,987 --> 00:24:51,347
Then sure.

532
00:24:51,347 --> 00:24:52,997
If that was like something that was like,

533
00:24:53,027 --> 00:24:55,307
Abby: uh, this feels that you
felt very important to me.

534
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:56,177
Yeah.

535
00:24:56,182 --> 00:24:59,387
Because, because like it
for a reason that wasn.

536
00:24:59,947 --> 00:25:04,177
You know, I need to do it for somebody
else or to meet some, some outside

537
00:25:04,177 --> 00:25:07,117
Fallon: standard, or it's gonna make
you happier, you know, whatever.

538
00:25:07,117 --> 00:25:07,447
Right?

539
00:25:07,507 --> 00:25:09,127
Like in, in a false sense.

540
00:25:09,127 --> 00:25:10,297
Happier than, yeah.

541
00:25:10,597 --> 00:25:10,987
Than no.

542
00:25:10,992 --> 00:25:14,797
So it's also tapping into the energy in
which, why, why are we choosing right.

543
00:25:15,427 --> 00:25:16,627
, why were we choosing what we're choosing?

544
00:25:16,627 --> 00:25:19,807
And I shared this in my Instagram
stories, I think it was yesterday.

545
00:25:19,807 --> 00:25:21,607
Cause I'm on, you know, I'm
on this candy to cleanse.

546
00:25:21,907 --> 00:25:22,027
Mm-hmm.

547
00:25:22,267 --> 00:25:24,157
. And a lot of people are asking
me about it because I did

548
00:25:24,162 --> 00:25:25,807
talk about having weight loss.

549
00:25:25,807 --> 00:25:30,847
But the more important story in this
was my own weight stories coming up.

550
00:25:31,232 --> 00:25:31,292
Yeah.

551
00:25:31,592 --> 00:25:34,922
My own, my, it wasn't
about the, the weight loss.

552
00:25:34,922 --> 00:25:37,412
That is a natural side effect
when you're consciously cleansing,

553
00:25:37,412 --> 00:25:38,252
when you're doing any cleanse.

554
00:25:38,432 --> 00:25:38,752
Mm-hmm.

555
00:25:38,832 --> 00:25:39,992
. But I'm not doing it for the weight loss.

556
00:25:40,112 --> 00:25:40,552
Right.

557
00:25:40,557 --> 00:25:43,922
But as I was watching the weight and
the numbers changed, I noticed these

558
00:25:43,922 --> 00:25:46,652
old deep stories come up around.

559
00:25:47,942 --> 00:25:53,672
How worthy I was to, to feel better
in my skin or how worthy I wasn't,

560
00:25:53,672 --> 00:25:56,732
or what the numbers meant, and
my relationship to these numbers.

561
00:25:56,732 --> 00:26:01,562
And so it really grounded me into, um,
and I share this in my stories, like if

562
00:26:01,562 --> 00:26:05,762
you wanna cleanse, cleanse, but get really
clear on what your body actually needs.

563
00:26:05,942 --> 00:26:08,942
Get really clear on the energy in
which you, why, why you want it.

564
00:26:09,062 --> 00:26:09,152
Mm-hmm.

565
00:26:09,572 --> 00:26:12,572
, um, if it's just to get
skinny, that is to lose weight.

566
00:26:12,602 --> 00:26:14,312
It's not gonna ever be sustainable.

567
00:26:15,377 --> 00:26:15,497
You

568
00:26:15,497 --> 00:26:16,007
Abby: know?

569
00:26:16,037 --> 00:26:16,947
Yes, go ahead.

570
00:26:17,087 --> 00:26:22,217
No, and I was gonna say like in
that same vein with all of this,

571
00:26:22,247 --> 00:26:24,827
you know, with all of the wedding
stuff happening and feeling.

572
00:26:26,117 --> 00:26:29,927
, like, okay, well if I wanna get into
more of like a good movement routine

573
00:26:29,927 --> 00:26:33,407
for myself, you hear yourself, you
hear it in your head being like,

574
00:26:33,407 --> 00:26:37,577
well, if I wanted to lose weight,
then I would do more hit workouts.

575
00:26:37,607 --> 00:26:37,697
Mm-hmm.

576
00:26:37,942 --> 00:26:41,057
, or I would do more workouts that were
like this, but I'm like, okay, what?

577
00:26:41,537 --> 00:26:45,787
What are the ways of moving that feel
really good to me, nourishment and.

578
00:26:46,852 --> 00:26:48,497
. Like that's like right now.

579
00:26:48,527 --> 00:26:50,117
That's like Melissa Wood workouts.

580
00:26:50,177 --> 00:26:51,137
Fucking love her.

581
00:26:51,137 --> 00:26:55,337
They're like very like
Pilates, yoga, very.

582
00:26:55,367 --> 00:26:59,837
The ones that like make me actually
tune into my body, feel the energy

583
00:26:59,842 --> 00:27:02,447
moving through it, make me feel
very grounded, very centered.

584
00:27:02,897 --> 00:27:03,747
Do they burn the most calories?

585
00:27:04,337 --> 00:27:05,387
No, they do not.

586
00:27:05,657 --> 00:27:06,497
But do I wake up?

587
00:27:06,497 --> 00:27:10,007
Do I find myself throughout the day
noticing that I'm sitting taller?

588
00:27:10,427 --> 00:27:13,997
That like my core feels stronger,
that like my whole body is

589
00:27:14,002 --> 00:27:15,607
tired, but it's not like it.

590
00:27:16,007 --> 00:27:19,727
A different kind of tired and
you just feel like, oh wow, I'm

591
00:27:19,732 --> 00:27:23,117
using all of my body in this way.

592
00:27:23,117 --> 00:27:29,477
That feels really good, but am I
focused on like losing weight as

593
00:27:29,477 --> 00:27:32,897
quickly as possible or doing all of the
things that I know how to do because

594
00:27:33,107 --> 00:27:36,197
you know, we all will Being also in
the coaching space and in the health

595
00:27:36,197 --> 00:27:41,207
and fitness and yeah, we know all
the ways to like lose weight in Yes.

596
00:27:41,207 --> 00:27:42,437
Quick and unhealthy ways.

597
00:27:42,947 --> 00:27:43,097
Yes.

598
00:27:43,187 --> 00:27:43,727
And.

599
00:27:44,612 --> 00:27:47,072
And that's not what I'm,
that's not what I'm here for.

600
00:27:47,552 --> 00:27:48,422
I'm here to feel good.

601
00:27:49,112 --> 00:27:49,532
. That's the,

602
00:27:49,682 --> 00:27:51,752
Fallon: and that's the
nourishment, that's the self love.

603
00:27:51,752 --> 00:27:51,992
Exactly.

604
00:27:52,082 --> 00:27:56,342
That's the, the acknowledgement of, I'm
not gonna buy into, I need to burn as

605
00:27:56,342 --> 00:28:00,242
many calories as possible, or lift as
much weight as possible, or, I'm, I'm

606
00:28:00,242 --> 00:28:03,272
actually, this is what I enjoy because
of the way that it makes me feel.

607
00:28:03,277 --> 00:28:03,592
Abby: Mm-hmm.

608
00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:07,252
. And the way that it makes my
body feel, like all of my muscles

609
00:28:07,252 --> 00:28:09,262
and like, and my, and my mind.

610
00:28:09,472 --> 00:28:09,532
Yeah.

611
00:28:09,532 --> 00:28:11,122
Like being like, Ooh, I feel grounded.

612
00:28:11,122 --> 00:28:14,272
I feel like I've done, like you
were saying with lifting weights,

613
00:28:14,277 --> 00:28:16,552
like you're doing a moving
me like a moving meditation.

614
00:28:17,472 --> 00:28:18,467
. That's what it feels like.

615
00:28:18,827 --> 00:28:18,947
And

616
00:28:18,947 --> 00:28:22,307
Fallon: it, it, this all brings
me back to what we were talking

617
00:28:22,307 --> 00:28:23,477
about before we hit record.

618
00:28:24,347 --> 00:28:27,527
always, um, you're right, is, is like Dr.

619
00:28:27,527 --> 00:28:31,037
Emoto's work and you brought it up
in the form of plants, but like Dr.

620
00:28:31,067 --> 00:28:33,747
Emoto, in the way that you speak
to water and if you just mm-hmm.

621
00:28:33,827 --> 00:28:34,727
, Google, Dr.

622
00:28:34,727 --> 00:28:38,207
Emoto and his work with speaking
and listening to music mm-hmm.

623
00:28:38,632 --> 00:28:40,187
, there's certain frequencies of music.

624
00:28:41,552 --> 00:28:44,912
and the way that we speak to
water, you actually see it change

625
00:28:44,912 --> 00:28:46,952
and it looks very disharmonious.

626
00:28:47,012 --> 00:28:47,102
Mm-hmm.

627
00:28:47,342 --> 00:28:48,842
, um, in the negatives, right?

628
00:28:48,842 --> 00:28:52,382
Like the negative talk and the negative
emo even a negative emotion sent to it.

629
00:28:52,382 --> 00:28:55,862
And, and it's done with rice as well,
like a rice jar with positive talk.

630
00:28:55,862 --> 00:28:58,292
And, and I think you
said, um, plants as well,

631
00:28:58,297 --> 00:28:58,622
Abby: right?

632
00:28:58,682 --> 00:28:58,832
Yeah.

633
00:28:58,832 --> 00:28:59,462
With plants.

634
00:28:59,462 --> 00:29:02,372
There was like this experiment
where, you know, people.

635
00:29:02,767 --> 00:29:05,977
They talk to their plants and they're
like, oh my God, you look so beautiful.

636
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:06,697
You're blooming.

637
00:29:06,697 --> 00:29:08,197
I can't believe how fast you're blooming.

638
00:29:08,197 --> 00:29:10,507
So many, like so many
more flowers this time.

639
00:29:10,837 --> 00:29:14,227
And then there was another plant that
you were talking to that you were

640
00:29:14,227 --> 00:29:16,087
like, God, you're such an ugly plant.

641
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:18,067
You're just all of these horrible things.

642
00:29:18,067 --> 00:29:20,947
And like that plant died even though
it got the same amount of sunlight

643
00:29:20,947 --> 00:29:24,427
and the same amount of water, and have
the same soil, but the one that you.

644
00:29:25,382 --> 00:29:29,612
Like spoke to you with compliments and
just like encouragement and so it's

645
00:29:29,612 --> 00:29:32,822
like, imagine you looking in the mirror
every morning being like, you're so

646
00:29:32,822 --> 00:29:35,702
ugly, versus wow, you're a miracle.

647
00:29:36,062 --> 00:29:39,182
And like imagine yourself speaking
like you're saying like Biola

648
00:29:39,212 --> 00:29:41,882
to every cell in your body being
like, you are such a miracle.

649
00:29:41,882 --> 00:29:42,512
Oh my God.

650
00:29:42,517 --> 00:29:42,752
Like.

651
00:29:43,307 --> 00:29:46,607
Thank you for doing all of the, all
of the things that you do to keep me

652
00:29:46,607 --> 00:29:49,487
healthy, to keep me going and all.

653
00:29:49,547 --> 00:29:56,087
It's just such a different energy
that you're embodying Yeah.

654
00:29:56,092 --> 00:29:58,667
From, from like a baseline, you know?

655
00:29:58,697 --> 00:29:59,357
Fallon: Yes.

656
00:29:59,447 --> 00:30:00,107
I love that.

657
00:30:00,107 --> 00:30:02,177
Like building a new homeostasis.

658
00:30:02,237 --> 00:30:02,867
Exactly.

659
00:30:03,237 --> 00:30:07,317
, and that's something my mentor talks
about a lot, is we actually, our

660
00:30:07,317 --> 00:30:09,807
homeostasis is actually of divine health.

661
00:30:10,527 --> 00:30:10,617
Mm-hmm.

662
00:30:11,037 --> 00:30:14,397
peace and happiness and, and
anything outside of that is the dise.

663
00:30:14,777 --> 00:30:15,387
Mm-hmm.

664
00:30:15,467 --> 00:30:18,927
. And to remember that your
homeostasis is actually already

665
00:30:18,932 --> 00:30:21,467
there to be your healthiest.

666
00:30:22,442 --> 00:30:24,182
Itself and the rest of
it's a journey, right?

667
00:30:24,242 --> 00:30:24,332
Mm-hmm.

668
00:30:24,372 --> 00:30:25,652
Of, of the Lakers and all of that.

669
00:30:25,652 --> 00:30:29,762
But, um, there was something I was
gonna say to this that you were

670
00:30:29,762 --> 00:30:32,372
speaking to with, um, oh, the plants.

671
00:30:32,377 --> 00:30:32,912
So I, yeah.

672
00:30:32,912 --> 00:30:35,932
I was raised by a hippie mom who
talked to her plants, so mm-hmm.

673
00:30:36,012 --> 00:30:39,062
, that's something I've always done, is
if a plant's dying, start to talk to it.

674
00:30:39,062 --> 00:30:40,352
Never really knowing.

675
00:30:41,492 --> 00:30:41,702
Right.

676
00:30:41,702 --> 00:30:44,852
That there were actual studies out there
that  that proved this, but mm-hmm.

677
00:30:45,332 --> 00:30:45,512
it.

678
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:49,832
The same goes for, and I'm teach my
clients this, and I'm a big proponent

679
00:30:49,832 --> 00:30:52,472
of this for a lot of years, is also
I speak to, like we talked about Dr.

680
00:30:52,472 --> 00:30:54,272
Motos work, I speak to
my water every morning.

681
00:30:54,512 --> 00:30:54,602
Mm-hmm.

682
00:30:55,202 --> 00:30:56,942
and my food when I remember mm-hmm.

683
00:30:57,027 --> 00:30:59,672
, like sometimes I don't remember to talk
to my food, but also like the way that

684
00:30:59,672 --> 00:31:03,482
you speak to living things that you're
getting ready to put into your body.

685
00:31:03,722 --> 00:31:03,992
Abby: Exactly.

686
00:31:05,012 --> 00:31:06,122
Iss huge.

687
00:31:06,212 --> 00:31:10,712
Well, and I mean, and this is something
that I can't speak of too much, but

688
00:31:10,712 --> 00:31:16,262
like in, you know, like Native American
cultures, like when you, when you kill an

689
00:31:16,262 --> 00:31:20,462
animal, then you like, thank it for giving
you life and for like sustaining life in

690
00:31:20,462 --> 00:31:22,562
your community, in your tribe and stuff.

691
00:31:22,567 --> 00:31:26,492
And even now, like praying over a meal
and like giving thanks, like giving

692
00:31:26,492 --> 00:31:29,462
thanks to not only the living things
that you're going to eat, but the

693
00:31:29,462 --> 00:31:31,053
things that sacrifice so that you.

694
00:31:32,072 --> 00:31:33,167
take nourishment from them.

695
00:31:33,197 --> 00:31:39,227
But it all comes back to being
mindful and giving gratitude for

696
00:31:39,887 --> 00:31:44,867
all of the things that help you
sustain your own life and honor and

697
00:31:44,872 --> 00:31:46,337
honor your body and honor yourself.

698
00:31:46,337 --> 00:31:46,697
Right?

699
00:31:47,087 --> 00:31:47,627
Yes.

700
00:31:47,632 --> 00:31:49,427
And, and I

701
00:31:49,427 --> 00:31:52,097
Fallon: wanna say too, like as you were
talk, as we were just talking about,

702
00:31:52,097 --> 00:31:54,827
was listening to you about the, you
know, the negative talk and mm-hmm.

703
00:31:54,907 --> 00:31:56,837
that we have, it's so subtle.

704
00:31:57,562 --> 00:31:58,877
, don't you find that it's really subtle.

705
00:31:58,877 --> 00:32:02,867
Like it's not like I don't wake up in
the morning and I'm like, Ooh, you ugly.

706
00:32:03,377 --> 00:32:03,557
Right?

707
00:32:03,557 --> 00:32:04,277
You ugly a bitch.

708
00:32:04,597 --> 00:32:05,037
. Yeah.

709
00:32:05,087 --> 00:32:05,807
What are you doing?

710
00:32:06,017 --> 00:32:08,447
What are, you know, I mean,
although I'm sure some people

711
00:32:08,447 --> 00:32:10,637
do, so we're laughing, but Yeah.

712
00:32:10,877 --> 00:32:14,177
But our like, I know for me it's
always been more of this subtle

713
00:32:15,197 --> 00:32:16,427
like, Ugh, that's cellulite.

714
00:32:16,427 --> 00:32:16,637
Abby: Ugh.

715
00:32:16,637 --> 00:32:19,637
We're like putting a pair of
shorts and being like, Ooh, it's

716
00:32:19,887 --> 00:32:21,137
a little tight in the waist.

717
00:32:21,227 --> 00:32:22,607
Maybe I should eat less.

718
00:32:23,567 --> 00:32:23,987
Yes.

719
00:32:23,987 --> 00:32:24,267
You

720
00:32:24,267 --> 00:32:24,347
Fallon: know?

721
00:32:24,347 --> 00:32:24,667
Yes.

722
00:32:24,672 --> 00:32:27,077
Or making that tightness mean

723
00:32:27,077 --> 00:32:29,957
Abby: mean that you,
something fucked something up.

724
00:32:30,407 --> 00:32:32,897
You ate too much over the weekend,
or you shouldn't have done

725
00:32:32,902 --> 00:32:34,487
something and then it's, or you're

726
00:32:34,492 --> 00:32:35,237
Fallon: just chubby.

727
00:32:35,267 --> 00:32:35,567
Right.

728
00:32:35,572 --> 00:32:37,637
Like that's something I, I would've
just gone to be like, I guess I'm

729
00:32:37,637 --> 00:32:39,197
just fluffy, or I'm just chubby today.

730
00:32:39,437 --> 00:32:39,677
Yeah.

731
00:32:39,677 --> 00:32:41,417
And that's uncomfortable
and I don't fucking like it.

732
00:32:41,417 --> 00:32:44,987
And I'm gonna decide in this moment
because of that feedback that I'm not

733
00:32:44,987 --> 00:32:46,457
gonna enjoy my body as much today.

734
00:32:46,787 --> 00:32:47,057
Yeah.

735
00:32:47,237 --> 00:32:50,927
When I could have easily
many times decided, Something

736
00:32:50,927 --> 00:32:53,027
different like, okay, tight

737
00:32:53,417 --> 00:32:55,217
Abby: shorts must be weird today.

738
00:32:57,992 --> 00:32:58,862
Fallon: Down these shorts.

739
00:32:58,922 --> 00:33:00,272
Abby: The short, shrunk overnight.

740
00:33:00,272 --> 00:33:01,202
I don know what happens.

741
00:33:02,762 --> 00:33:03,572
Fallon: Yeah.

742
00:33:03,572 --> 00:33:04,392
But its really

743
00:33:05,162 --> 00:33:05,582
Abby: up today.

744
00:33:15,147 --> 00:33:15,387
Fallon: Yeah.

745
00:33:15,387 --> 00:33:17,487
What if we didn't never
for me blame ourselves?

746
00:33:17,517 --> 00:33:17,577
No.

747
00:33:18,087 --> 00:33:18,577
Yeah.

748
00:33:18,577 --> 00:33:19,947
What if we didn't always blame ourselves?

749
00:33:19,947 --> 00:33:25,467
And especially as women we're so cyclical
on, you know, a 30 day, 28 day cycle.

750
00:33:25,472 --> 00:33:25,557
Right?

751
00:33:25,857 --> 00:33:29,967
Like, we're not going exactly feel, we're
not meant to feel the same in our body.

752
00:33:30,057 --> 00:33:30,147
Mm-hmm.

753
00:33:31,037 --> 00:33:31,847
. At all.

754
00:33:31,937 --> 00:33:35,657
Um, but I wanna move into, because I
know, you know, you and I could talk

755
00:33:35,657 --> 00:33:40,847
about this forever, but I wanna move
asking you, what do you feel like has

756
00:33:40,852 --> 00:33:44,807
really served you in shifting the way that
you view your body or your body image?

757
00:33:44,812 --> 00:33:49,517
And what can we leave with our listeners
today that, that maybe can help them?

758
00:33:49,667 --> 00:33:52,067
Um, I mean, I think we've
given them a lot of different

759
00:33:52,067 --> 00:33:54,317
perspective for sure, but just on a

760
00:33:54,317 --> 00:33:55,127
Abby: personal.

761
00:33:56,012 --> 00:34:01,202
For me, for me, it's, it's really
what we talked about a little bit,

762
00:34:01,202 --> 00:34:09,122
but um, is really finding the ways
that you can have fun in your body

763
00:34:09,572 --> 00:34:14,612
and just like, and, and taking note
of how it makes you feel because like,

764
00:34:15,122 --> 00:34:20,072
having fun in your body can, it's like
you can try something new that you.

765
00:34:20,927 --> 00:34:24,857
Maybe we're afraid to try and then you
figure out that you can do something

766
00:34:24,857 --> 00:34:29,327
new and that gives you confidence or
gives you a lot of different things.

767
00:34:29,837 --> 00:34:35,627
Um, but yeah, like exploring ways to move
that feel really good and that ground

768
00:34:35,627 --> 00:34:38,357
you, that make you feel really centered,
like I was talking about with the, the

769
00:34:38,357 --> 00:34:43,997
Melissa Wood workouts, but also like
moving in ways that like help you tap

770
00:34:43,997 --> 00:34:49,097
into your sensuality and your sexuality
and like, I think that the more we can.

771
00:34:49,892 --> 00:34:55,772
Just be more in tune with our bodies
internally, the better everything

772
00:34:55,772 --> 00:35:00,632
comes out externally because you start
to build your worth more with like

773
00:35:00,637 --> 00:35:05,222
without all of the external factors,
without looking in the mirror and.

774
00:35:05,627 --> 00:35:08,357
Looking at the scale, because
like you said, it's like we're

775
00:35:08,357 --> 00:35:09,467
both completely different.

776
00:35:09,467 --> 00:35:12,467
Like your weight, you could have
the same weight as somebody else

777
00:35:12,467 --> 00:35:13,607
and look completely different.

778
00:35:13,637 --> 00:35:13,877
Mm-hmm.

779
00:35:13,957 --> 00:35:17,987
. And like that's always, it's like we've,
I think we've learned, now we've gotten

780
00:35:17,987 --> 00:35:22,727
to the point that we know that external
things will kind of always fuck you up.

781
00:35:23,207 --> 00:35:23,537
Yeah.

782
00:35:23,542 --> 00:35:26,897
So it's like how can we find
that worth internally and yeah.

783
00:35:27,197 --> 00:35:29,387
My number one is like
finding ways to have fun.

784
00:35:29,537 --> 00:35:31,157
Have fun in your body and with your.

785
00:35:32,477 --> 00:35:32,627
I

786
00:35:32,627 --> 00:35:35,297
Fallon: love that and that,
yeah, I relate to that a lot.

787
00:35:35,297 --> 00:35:39,107
The, the having fun and honoring
the body's capabilities.

788
00:35:39,257 --> 00:35:39,407
Mm-hmm.

789
00:35:39,857 --> 00:35:43,817
, you know, um, like people playing Yeah.

790
00:35:43,817 --> 00:35:44,957
And the senses.

791
00:35:44,957 --> 00:35:45,407
Mm-hmm.

792
00:35:45,647 --> 00:35:45,737
, right?

793
00:35:45,737 --> 00:35:48,767
Like, I get to see and I get to
smell and I get to hear like I have

794
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:50,567
all of my senses and my intuition.

795
00:35:50,572 --> 00:35:50,937
Mm-hmm.

796
00:35:52,142 --> 00:35:53,207
. . Um, yeah.

797
00:35:53,207 --> 00:35:56,267
And, and the playing, I, you know, and the

798
00:35:56,267 --> 00:35:59,627
Abby: laughter, like going back
to like childlike, like how, what

799
00:35:59,627 --> 00:36:01,187
did you do when you were a kid?

800
00:36:01,187 --> 00:36:04,967
Like you ran around, you like threw
your arms up, you did full belly laughs.

801
00:36:04,967 --> 00:36:08,987
You weren't trying to like look a
certain way or pose a certain way that

802
00:36:08,987 --> 00:36:12,677
you looked, the skinniest, the skinniest
or the tallest or like whatever.

803
00:36:12,677 --> 00:36:15,347
You just fucking went full.

804
00:36:16,217 --> 00:36:17,027
Yes,

805
00:36:17,087 --> 00:36:17,597
Fallon: yes.

806
00:36:18,107 --> 00:36:18,557
Lived.

807
00:36:19,067 --> 00:36:22,337
And I love the, the honoring, like
their capabilities, but also getting

808
00:36:22,337 --> 00:36:24,767
uncomfortable and learning new
things, which develops the confidence.

809
00:36:24,787 --> 00:36:24,947
Mm-hmm.

810
00:36:24,947 --> 00:36:25,147
Right?

811
00:36:25,147 --> 00:36:25,148
Mm-hmm.

812
00:36:25,457 --> 00:36:27,857
And there's a couple things before
we close I wanna hit on, cause

813
00:36:27,857 --> 00:36:30,107
there was something you said earlier
before we started recording that

814
00:36:30,107 --> 00:36:31,127
I think isn't really important.

815
00:36:31,817 --> 00:36:34,487
Um, but what was I gonna say?

816
00:36:34,487 --> 00:36:35,807
Honoring the capabilities.

817
00:36:36,782 --> 00:36:37,532
Now I just lost it.

818
00:36:37,532 --> 00:36:40,442
So I'm gonna actually ask you
what is it, you sent me something

819
00:36:40,447 --> 00:36:43,772
on Instagram a couple weeks ago
that I really want you to share

820
00:36:43,772 --> 00:36:45,422
Abby: because it was eyeopening for me.

821
00:36:45,902 --> 00:36:46,262
Yeah.

822
00:36:46,262 --> 00:36:47,042
Alex Light.

823
00:36:47,042 --> 00:36:51,992
So I think her, I think her Instagram
is Alex Light underscore l d n London.

824
00:36:52,412 --> 00:36:58,442
Um, and she is like, um, body
positive influencer and she posted

825
00:36:58,442 --> 00:37:03,452
this reel that shows how on the same
day with different camera lense.

826
00:37:04,802 --> 00:37:07,112
Your face looks completely different.

827
00:37:07,112 --> 00:37:11,162
So it's like her face went like wider to
skinnier, to like just this whole range

828
00:37:11,162 --> 00:37:15,662
of like in and out, like from wider to
thinner and more chiseled kind of looking.

829
00:37:15,932 --> 00:37:20,132
And it was literally her on the exact same
date with a bunch of different lenses.

830
00:37:20,642 --> 00:37:25,982
And it's like, this is, and for me,
this was like when I was traveling

831
00:37:26,402 --> 00:37:30,422
and there would be different mirrors
in every Airbnb that we were in.

832
00:37:30,422 --> 00:37:32,822
And I could tell that I'm like, oh shit.

833
00:37:32,822 --> 00:37:33,242
Did I?

834
00:37:33,872 --> 00:37:36,542
Like put on a few pounds, like I
feel like this, I look a little bit

835
00:37:37,022 --> 00:37:38,882
heavier or wider or like whatever.

836
00:37:38,887 --> 00:37:44,222
And it's just like, this is where
these external things can really

837
00:37:44,822 --> 00:37:50,552
like fuck with you and why it's so
important to find that, that um,

838
00:37:50,612 --> 00:37:54,092
that worth internally because yeah,
like when I saw that thing with the

839
00:37:54,092 --> 00:37:56,642
camera lens, I was like, holy shit, we

840
00:37:56,642 --> 00:37:57,872
Fallon: need to share that reel.

841
00:37:57,902 --> 00:37:58,502
This is crazy.

842
00:37:58,712 --> 00:38:00,602
It is so powerful to watch her.

843
00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:03,677
Change pretty drastically.

844
00:38:03,797 --> 00:38:05,147
Abby: Very like dramatically.

845
00:38:05,167 --> 00:38:05,407
Yeah.

846
00:38:05,412 --> 00:38:05,597
Yeah.

847
00:38:05,597 --> 00:38:06,017
Fallon: Thank you.

848
00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:08,357
Dramatically from, from
different camera lenses.

849
00:38:08,647 --> 00:38:08,847
Mm-hmm.

850
00:38:08,927 --> 00:38:13,167
, and we can all relate to, to that
like, I, there's, oh, my, and,

851
00:38:13,167 --> 00:38:17,447
and that we instantly feel a, a, a
type of way about ourself mm-hmm.

852
00:38:17,687 --> 00:38:22,367
based on what that lens is mirroring
back to us in like a selfie or,

853
00:38:22,637 --> 00:38:23,777
or a picture that was been taken.

854
00:38:23,777 --> 00:38:25,037
That has been taken and it's.

855
00:38:26,177 --> 00:38:28,217
Again, coming back to ourself.

856
00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:33,737
Yeah, coming back to ourself, trusting
ourselves, trusting and, and loving us

857
00:38:33,737 --> 00:38:39,047
where we're at now and, and remembering
that a camera can catch our essence,

858
00:38:39,557 --> 00:38:41,837
but not as much as we can ourselves.

859
00:38:42,227 --> 00:38:43,247
Abby: No, exactly.

860
00:38:43,252 --> 00:38:43,697
Exactly.

861
00:38:43,702 --> 00:38:46,217
Fallon: The lens can never
really reflect back to us.

862
00:38:47,232 --> 00:38:48,032
our full truth.

863
00:38:48,032 --> 00:38:48,392
Mm-hmm.

864
00:38:48,472 --> 00:38:50,192
and our, the full miracle of who we are.

865
00:38:50,672 --> 00:38:54,632
And that a lot of times we, what
we were talking about, like the

866
00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:59,762
comparison, you know, like growing
up I would've been like, oh, I wish

867
00:38:59,762 --> 00:39:01,112
I could look like Abby in this way.

868
00:39:01,112 --> 00:39:04,412
And you would've been like, oh, I wish
I could, you know, with Fallon this way.

869
00:39:05,387 --> 00:39:10,547
A lot of times what we feel another
person has is also what they

870
00:39:10,547 --> 00:39:11,987
actually love about themselves.

871
00:39:12,137 --> 00:39:12,317
Mm-hmm.

872
00:39:12,557 --> 00:39:17,197
and what we don't love about ourselves,
and it's just the mirror of, she actually

873
00:39:17,197 --> 00:39:20,987
is very, she's, she's not insecure about
that piece of her, whether it's physical.

874
00:39:21,902 --> 00:39:23,222
or like her groundedness, right?

875
00:39:23,222 --> 00:39:23,852
Like mm-hmm.

876
00:39:24,722 --> 00:39:27,062
you might feel a really
grounding power in another woman.

877
00:39:27,062 --> 00:39:27,152
Right.

878
00:39:27,302 --> 00:39:30,422
And you might feel really not
like powerless around her.

879
00:39:30,782 --> 00:39:30,962
Right.

880
00:39:30,962 --> 00:39:33,542
And it's because it exists as
the reminder it exists within

881
00:39:33,542 --> 00:39:33,602
Abby: us.

882
00:39:33,602 --> 00:39:37,442
Well, and it, and it's the things that
I think we covet about other people

883
00:39:37,442 --> 00:39:40,292
are the things that are really wanting
to be more expressed within ourselves.

884
00:39:40,652 --> 00:39:40,922
Yeah.

885
00:39:41,012 --> 00:39:43,622
And so, and habited as well in our school.

886
00:39:43,742 --> 00:39:44,022
Exactly.

887
00:39:44,372 --> 00:39:45,122
Exactly.

888
00:39:45,572 --> 00:39:50,342
And I think the more
that we can move toward.

889
00:39:52,167 --> 00:39:56,417
Recognizing and tuning in
with our internal worth, our

890
00:39:56,417 --> 00:39:57,767
internal like body worth.

891
00:39:58,517 --> 00:40:02,297
And the more we can also recognize
it in other women, you know,

892
00:40:02,297 --> 00:40:04,667
recognize all of the parts.

893
00:40:04,697 --> 00:40:09,857
Like we always like to say all of the
parts outside of just the physical, um,

894
00:40:09,947 --> 00:40:14,147
all of the ways that which, and like in
which like women come to the table and

895
00:40:14,207 --> 00:40:19,247
it's not just their size, it's their, you
know, their energy, their presence, their.

896
00:40:19,877 --> 00:40:20,717
Confidence.

897
00:40:20,747 --> 00:40:22,987
It's their, their intelligence.

898
00:40:22,987 --> 00:40:24,827
Their intelligence, their humor.

899
00:40:25,427 --> 00:40:25,637
Yes.

900
00:40:25,787 --> 00:40:26,227
They're witty things.

901
00:40:26,227 --> 00:40:26,747
All the things.

902
00:40:27,107 --> 00:40:27,407
Yeah.

903
00:40:27,407 --> 00:40:29,807
Their goofiness, their
imperfection, you know?

904
00:40:29,947 --> 00:40:30,267
Yeah.

905
00:40:30,297 --> 00:40:30,787
Yeah.

906
00:40:30,792 --> 00:40:35,537
All of the things that we can honor
within each other, I think is the

907
00:40:35,537 --> 00:40:37,027
most, one of the most important things.

908
00:40:37,397 --> 00:40:42,557
Um, and I did wanna say, just
on that note, the, the Ruby Core

909
00:40:42,557 --> 00:40:44,357
poem, that is one of my favorites.

910
00:40:45,317 --> 00:40:49,397
Let me pull that up, which is I want to.

911
00:40:49,802 --> 00:40:52,712
Apologize to all the women that
I have called Pretty before.

912
00:40:52,712 --> 00:40:54,332
I've called them intelligent or brave.

913
00:40:54,842 --> 00:40:55,412
I'm sorry.

914
00:40:55,412 --> 00:40:58,952
I made it sound as though something
as simple as what you're born with is

915
00:40:58,952 --> 00:41:02,042
the most you have to be proud of when
your spirit has crushed mountains.

916
00:41:02,552 --> 00:41:06,932
From now on, I will say things like, you
are resilient or You are extraordinary.

917
00:41:07,172 --> 00:41:10,022
Not because I don't think you're pretty,
but because you're so much more than that.

918
00:41:12,062 --> 00:41:14,282
Fallon: I think that's the
best note to leave this on.

919
00:41:14,642 --> 00:41:15,152
Me too.

920
00:41:15,562 --> 00:41:16,072
Abby: It is.

921
00:41:16,072 --> 00:41:16,632
I love you.

922
00:41:16,862 --> 00:41:17,612
I love you too.

923
00:41:19,502 --> 00:41:20,402
And we love you.

924
00:41:20,672 --> 00:41:21,272
We love you.

925
00:41:21,572 --> 00:41:22,562
Everyone listening.

926
00:41:22,922 --> 00:41:27,302
Yes, we love you, and we'd love to hear
anything that this brought up for you.

927
00:41:27,602 --> 00:41:32,342
Any experiences that you've had with,
with, with playing with your own body

928
00:41:32,342 --> 00:41:36,332
image or even, or struggling with it
or where you're at in your own journey.

929
00:41:36,362 --> 00:41:37,322
We'd love to hear you.

930
00:41:37,322 --> 00:41:38,582
We'd love to support you.

931
00:41:39,017 --> 00:41:40,817
Absolutely would love to support you

932
00:41:40,877 --> 00:41:41,357
Fallon: because

933
00:41:41,537 --> 00:41:43,787
Abby: we know the road all too well and

934
00:41:43,847 --> 00:41:44,027
Fallon: thank you.

935
00:41:44,207 --> 00:41:46,517
You're advocates of
leaving none of us behind.

936
00:41:46,607 --> 00:41:47,267
Abby: Exactly.

937
00:41:47,267 --> 00:41:48,437
We love all parts of you.

938
00:41:48,737 --> 00:41:49,337
Yes.

939
00:41:50,087 --> 00:41:50,687
Amazing.

940
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:51,947
All right.

941
00:41:52,397 --> 00:41:53,087
Beautiful.

942
00:41:53,507 --> 00:41:53,807
Yay.

943
00:41:53,807 --> 00:41:54,977
See you guys next time.

944
00:41:55,427 --> 00:41:55,967
Fallon: Bye.

945
00:41:56,237 --> 00:41:56,687
Bye.
