  Speaker 1: Apodjay production. We begin today by acknowledging the traditional custodians
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of the land on which we gather today and pay
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: our respects to their elders past and present. We extend
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's here today.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Grow and Glow Podcast. I'm Ashy, I'm Kiara.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast where we learn, laugh, and level
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: up together. Let's go deep, let the emotions flow, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: find the lessons to grow and Glow.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Nothing is off the table with Grow and Glow, and
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: we're here to be your expander. Welcome back to Wacky Wednesday.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: It's day for a nice little episode, probably be a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: shorter one, but nice pick me up. And I think
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: this was a suggestion in the forum. We're calling it
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: notes to our younger self, but it's almost like mine's
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: more advice that I would give to my younger self
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and yours is a beautiful letter.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And I think it's really cool that we both interpreted
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it in our own way, like we had the time,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: all of what we wanted the podcast episode to be,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and we both went in there and filled it out,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and we've kind of both put our own spin cool.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I think this task that you've done of writing a
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: letter to your younger self is a really beautiful task
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that everyone listening can do. And it's just like, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's like nurturing the little girl inside you,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the woman inside you, Like it's just really nice. When
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I read yours, I was like.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, and reflecting back, like we're just so hard on ourselves,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I know, like we really can be our own harshest critic.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, life is so much nice that you can
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: be nicer to yourself. And if you don't respect yourself
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and love yourself and be kind to yourself, like, how
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: can you expect anyone else to Exactly? You have to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: set the example and the standard of how you want
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to be treated. And even just forgiving yourself.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is something that so many people
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: struggle with, Like we're all not.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Perfect and we've all made mistakes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's every single person and only we can
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: make the choice to forgive ourselves.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, So doing a letters a beautiful way to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: actually get it out of paper. When you're writing this letter,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and you might not fully believe it yet, like it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: just the start. It's the start of being conscious, being aware,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and like just putting the things in place to practice
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: more self love and eventually like it will just feel
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: so natural. It's like when you learn a new skill,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you get a new job, or you're trying to break
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: an old habit or implement a new one, Like it
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: takes time your body to get used to it, know
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that it's safe though, that it's okay, and for it
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to start feeling good.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Later on and even rather than visualizing yourself as you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: are now, like when I wrote mine, I was visualizing
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: me as a little girl, So it makes it feel
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: like you're writing it to your daughter, like a little
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: girl you see at the playground and walk over to you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So it just makes you have more compassion when you're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: writing as well.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: You'd be so kind to your own kids. And the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: little girl was like crying the park, Like what would
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you say to her? Exactly? Yeah, do you want to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: go first and read your letter?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Well, now I'm going to probably get emotional anyway, High
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: little Kiara. I wrote this note to you because I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: know how much you struggle with self worth, how anxious
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you are and full of self doubt. I'm here to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: tell you the confidence you see in others is also
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: inside of you. Don't be afraid to let others see
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: your sparkle shine, be discouraged or worried about not being
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: good enough in someone else's eyes, because no matter what
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you do, someone will make up in their own minds
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: anyway what they think of you. But this isn't their
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: life to live. It's yours, And believe it or not,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you are finally in a place where you are so
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: connected to yourself, so confident in yourself. So please don't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: waste any more years feeling like you are not enough, because,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: my darling, you're.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: More than enough.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The love and approval you are hoping to get outside
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of yourself is deep within you. When you're a little baby,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you love yourself unconditionally. When you were a toddler, you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: were silly and goofy, and you love yourself no matter
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: what others thought. Other people's beliefs and opinions came in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and started to morph that pure mind of yours. All
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you need to do is slow down, get more in
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: touch with yourself and move from your heart, listen to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: your gut intuition, and love yourself so much that you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: truly don't mind if others don't like you. As long
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as you're moving in a way that may yourself proud.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: They can think what they want to think. Crazy thing
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is what anyone else thinks of you, and even what
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you think of yourself is only a persona. We are
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: all just beings with ideas we've made up in our
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: own minds of who we are. You are going to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: have one really hard year in twenty twenty two, one
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of the hardest years of your life. You're going to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: get to a point where you have no choice but
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to do this work because you are going to feel
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: depressed and have regular panic attacks. Always trust life is
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: giving you what you need in the right moments, because
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what this test is. Even though it feels
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: really big, really tough, and like your whole world is
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: falling apart, remain grateful, grateful for your incredible husband. He
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: will help you through this chapter more than you can
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: ever imagine. Your beautiful kids will continue to help you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: smile on days where you didn't even think it was possible,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and your amazing friends will help you to put back
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: together the shattered pieces of your heart again. If slow
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: will completely transform your life, it will make you reevaluate everything.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It will make you reassess everything and shift you to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a lifestyle that is so much more aligned with yourself.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I can't read because my eyes. If you want to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: time ps you eventually do, learn to tune in, listen
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to your heart, your intuition, and start being the playful, kind,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: beautifully spirited, fun you again, the you that has always
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: been there but has been shut off for far too long.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So don't wait. Believe me, trust me.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Trust you.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Life is too short to let any outside ideas or
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: noise stop you from living your best and most aligned life.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: You are here on this earth, given this incredible opportunity
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: called life. Enjoy every day and be thankful to just
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: be here, because every extra minute you get of this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: life is a complete blessing within itself.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's so beautiful, so nice, so nice, so nice for everyone,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Even though that s that's for you. I feel like
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: everyone listening they needed to hear that. Yeah, but all
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the reminders in there, that's so beautiful. Even when you
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: like you look back at yourself.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: You know, when you start this journey, or even when
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you were younger, you just wish you had somebody to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: like say those things to you, yes, to just be like,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: don't wait. I feel like we all just like hold
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: on to all this resentment or hold back on the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: way that we feel, or it's like built up energy
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: almost and like resistance. And as soon as you just
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: start to like, oh, just open yourself up, be your
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: true self, let yourself shine, like your life is just
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: so much better.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So interesting to you how it normally takes Like and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: this is a belief that I've had to kind of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: break the cycle. And it was through a conversation I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: had with my old coach Taylor. But I felt like
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of my pivotal moments have been through when
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I've hit rock bottom and really hard times because the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: universe kind of forces you to take a different path
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and make big decisions. I'm going to him and saying, like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you know, we're doing all this work and breaking all
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: these cycles so our kids have a better life. But like,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I'm really glad that I had that heard upbringing. I'm
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: really glad that all these tough things happen because it
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: shaped me to be who I am now. It's made
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: me so resilient and so strong and appreciate so much more.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: How do I give my kids those lessons without them
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: having to go through the pain that I went through,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And he was just like, that's a limited belief that
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you think that lessons have to come from pain. They
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: don't have to. But yeah, I think for us, like
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of it has come from those really hard times.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Well sometimes what happens too, I feel is like these
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: moments that we go through early in life, like they
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: shape us and you get stuck in your ways and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: then life gives you these moments to just completely reassess.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But hopefully for our kids, because I don't go through
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that hard shit, like, hopefully they can just be their
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: true self and feel connected to themselves the whole time, whereas,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like I know both of us have felt so out
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of touch.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: With ourselves throughout life. Yeah. Yeah, it's really exciting for
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: our kids just have a totally different experience. But it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: cool that we can share all of this and grow
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and it has shaped us to be who we are
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: today definitely, And that's why now when the universe gives
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: me something really hard from experience, like my body, my mind,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: my heart knows I will be okay and I'll come
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: out the other side. So that's when you have that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: inner trust and knowing it helps you be grateful for
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: it rather than turn into a victim and hate the
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: world and think like, fuck, this isn't fair. It makes
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you go caw. I don't know why this is happening
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: right now, but I know that I'll get to the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: other side and I'll look back and be like, ah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: because I learned this, because I took this opportunity, because
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I said no to that. I you know, whatever you
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: decided to do, it's a blessing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, I'm excited to hear yours.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, I wrote a few different ones down, so I'll
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: just read them out as I wrote them down. This
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: is like more advice that I would give Tyler growing up,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: or i'd just give my younger self. You're exactly where
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you're meant to be. There is no wrong path. The
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: path you chose felt right at the time, and even
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: if it didn't feel right, you chose it because it
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: had a higher purpose to expand and teach you something
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: that you needed to learn for your next evolution of you.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And I love that because you know how sometimes like
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: when people go, oh, you know the right decision, you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: know what to do, like really go in Sometimes I'm
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: like I actually don't, and I feel lost. But you
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: still have to make a decision and just know whatever
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: decision you do make, even if you're not sure if
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: it's the right one, it is the right one, yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: because at that time that's what you chose. So even
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: if you weren't sure, there's one that you leant more
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: into and you took a chance with, and that leads
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you to where you meant to be. So you just
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: have to know and trust my next one. There'll always
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: be someone prettier, richer, more popular, and smarter than you,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: But it does not take away from the light that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you bring to this world. It doesn't make you ugly.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make you less worthy or not as important either.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Comparing and trying to keep up with others will leave
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you always feeling like you're not enough and dead inside.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Please don't waste your precious time on this. I just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: feel like growing up, and I think it's even harder
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: in this day and age with young teenagers growing up
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: with social media is they always are going to see
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: everyone's highlight reel and there's always going to be someone
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: better than them, and it leaves you feeling not enough.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: If you keep looking at everyone's highlight reels, not remembering
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: they too go through struggles, and they too have self
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: worth issues, and they doubt themselves and they go through
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: hard moments. You're always going to never feel enough. Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, it's why the outside noise can
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: get so noisy, and that's why it's so important to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: pull yourself off social media if you're feeling like this,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and why I feel like we're going to be so
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: protective of our kids having social media and spending time scrolling,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: because they're just taking all that noise and their little
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: mind starts to compare every little thing. It's dangerous.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Paris is a thief of joy.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: It really is. I saw that there was I think
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: we spoke about LEVI. There was a petition going around
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: for it to not be legal for kids under sixteen
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: to be on social media apps. And I think that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: such a good idea. That's a great idea, but I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: don't think it will happen. I just remember growing up
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: thinking that everyone's always better than me and I can't
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: compete with it. So it almost like give up on
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: myself and give up and say no to certain situations
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: or opportunities because I was just never going to be enough,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: but these other girls are. Yeah, definitely, And it's like
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: whatever you look for you'll find as well. Yeah, okay,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: this one my next one. Try to be aware of
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what you feel attached to. I want you to try
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to detach from people, situations, expectations, homes, jobs, and opportunities.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: If something doesn't work out, please trust it. When one
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: door closes, another three will open up that are way
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: more aligned. When you close, there's something you create space for,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: even more light, beauty, and connection. When you detach from everything,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you attract everything. When you don't need anything, you gain everything.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I love that goes for so many different areas of life,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: feel like friendships, businesses, naturally everything.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I just think it's been such a big change that
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I made years ago because I just used to be
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: so attached to so much, even like home. Steve wants
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: like a forever home and I moved around a lot
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: as the kids. I've never been attached to having one home,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And I get why people are it's special and sentimental,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: but like for me, I love moving around. It's like
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: fresh energy in your environment. It inspires me again and
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: it's like an adventure. Yeah, and I love it and
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You just never know when something could be taken away.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So if you don't have an attachment to it, it's
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: not as hurtful, it's not as disappointing. You don't put
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: yourself through as much pain. So whish I learned that earlier.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: When you feel like you're breaking down, you are actually
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: breaking free and breaking through from what's not serving you.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: This is really amazing, So embrace these moments because you're
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: about to enter a whole new, exciting chapter. I love
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that breaking down is like so heavy and hard, But
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: if you change the language like breaking free from what's
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: not serving you or breaking through something that makes it
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: like a high vibration, you need to go through that
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: to come out the other side. Yeah, breakdown means a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: breakthrough and break free. This one we've all heard before,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: but I would still tell it to my younger self
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: earlier on Tatala. Some people are in your life for
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a lesson, some are there for a season or a reason,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and then some are there for a lifetime. But the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: more that you stay connected to yourself, the more you
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: can feel into who's here for each of those And no,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: they are all perfect and they all serve a purpose. Yeah,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: that's beautiful. And it's so hard when you go through
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: relationship breakdowns or friendship breakdowns or anything in your life.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Like even there's been certain work friends and I'm like, oh,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: those work friends weren't my real friends. They were work friends,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: but I thought we'd be friends outside of work. But
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: they were there for a purpose and for a reason
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: and for a season, and that was beautiful and perfect.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: It served them me having a job they could work at,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and it served me having this incredible staff member that
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: helped my business. But outside of that, it was no more.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And that was a hard pill for me to swallow.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: But I was like, they served their purpose and they
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: were there for the reason and the season that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Was fun for all they were there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's beautiful. And then there's some friendships that I've
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: had literally since I was like fifteen, and they're still
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: stronger than ever. Yeah, Like most of my really close
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: friends I've had since teenage years, and I feel like
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: they just locked in and solid.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Wasn't it you that sent me that thing the other day?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Like once you reach seventy years of friendship, seven years,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: seven years of friendship, it's like pretty.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Locked in, locked in? Yeah, Yeah, that's really cool. I know, interesting, hay.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: So it's just a real that I sent here because
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I think we're past our seven years now too.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I think we've probably got like our seven year annivers
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: maybe front of ursery cute.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's so cute. So this's real. Was
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: just yeah, like, if your friendships get past seven years
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: their lifetime friends. Yeah, And I was like, that's.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Really cool, and I feel like when you reflect and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: think about that, it's pretty dang.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty spot on, isn't it. But then again,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: like some friends might come into your life and then
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you might have a season where you're not that close.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, every friendship has different seasons. Yeah, I really
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: love that. Yeah, it helps take the pain away if
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: things don't work out. Definitely don't like. No, I can
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: appreciate and I'm so grateful for that season, for the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: purpose and things they taught me and the fun that
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: we did have. Yeah. Yeah, And I know there's a
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: lot of women struggling because I get dms about it
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: all the time. My life has been very public on
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: social media, so people have seen when I'm not as
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: close to someone, and everyone makes up their own narrative
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: but in true honesty, a lot of it just has
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: dwindled apart. Yeah, and it's hard, It really is hard.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: So I think it's nice to just go back to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the gratitude of what the friendship was. I know a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: lot of women are struggling with this because I get
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of Dan's been like, how do you cope,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: you know, with your friendship breaking down with this person?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Or like, you know, you guys seen so close and
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: do you just not see each other? And we're like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'm having that struggles with my friendships, and I always
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: go back to that. I'm like, well, you know, sometimes
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: you're close to people and sometimes you're not. Yeah, and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that's just the way life is. Yeah, but I have
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: gratitude for all of it. This one's really helped me
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: repair my relationship with my mum over the years, which
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: if you have not listened to that episode, oh my god,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: listen to it. Please go and listen to it. It
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: was incredible. She spoke so open and so vulnerable, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: at the start she said our relationship was not always
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: this strong, which is very true. But this really helped
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: me with my healing of forgiveness and understanding and compassion
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: for how my mum was through the abuse of my
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: stepfather and just the hard times we went through him.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: And the advice is your parents did the best that
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: they could with what they knew at the time, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: every generation and does better than the last. And please
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: know that any moments that didn't feel loving, it doesn't
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: mean that you were not deserving of love in that moment.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I love that, and I do. I look back at
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: my mom and I'm like, I don't know how she
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: got through those years with three children, feeling so alone,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: so unsupported. I can't even imagine going through that. Like
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I've never been in a quote unquote bad relationship neither.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I've only been treated so lovely by the relationships I've
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: been And I can't imagine what she went through. She
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: literally did the best that she could. And she looks
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: back on her mum and she tells me stories of
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: things that happened to her and I'm like, whoa, but
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: it's even worse. Yeah, and her mom did the best
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that she could.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: And then you go back generations through war and through everything,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: like it was horrific back then. So every generation gets
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: better and better. But just like if you're holding anger
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: resentment and judgment towards your parents, Like I know it's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: so hard, but you just have to understand they did
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the best they can, even my stepdad.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And you don't have to forgive, but even just for
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: your own pc yind just to have some understand and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: some compassion and be like okay.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Just release it, yeah, just to let it go and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: hold on sense breath works really help with that as well.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: But like even my stepdad, like I would never have
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a relationship with him, no ever, but I can still
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: look at that man, not face to face, don't ever
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: see him, but I can still reflect back and go,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened in your childhood, but something's
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: happened to make you the way that you are. You
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: would not be treating children like this. You would not
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: be treating your wife like this. You will not be
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: treating yourself, your body, your health. Like everything he did
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: was just it felt so disrespectful. But who knows what
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: he went through to be like that. That's a lot
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of pain. There is so much trauma and pain in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that man for him to be showing up like that,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Like I honestly have compassion for him. I don't choose
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: to be around it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't wish upon anyone what happened to us, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I definitely in my heart still have compassion for like
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: whatever the fuck he went through. Definitely. Yeah, that's just
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: a nice way to live, isn't it this that I
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: saw on Instagram the other day? There are people that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: will never support you because it's you. Then there's people
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: that will always support you because it's you. You just
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: got to find your people. Don't settle? So true, isn't it?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Some people that just will never support you, they just
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: decided they don't like you. Yeah. And then there's people
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: that just like you're always there social media. Do you see,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like regular the same women pop up in your inbox
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and they're just always supporting. I know, you scroll back
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: and it's like twenty sixteen, twenty twelve, I'm like, wow,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you it's always shown up for me, even if it's
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: just to swipe up with a love heart or like
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: thinking of you or hope you're well, or like great lawns.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Always there with good vibes and just just cheering you on.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And they always will just because they just see you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: who you are. And there's people that just always fucking
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: hate you.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no matter what you do, no matter what you do,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you've already made up the mind about you anyway.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: It's like, what's that saying? You could be the juicest,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: ripest peach in the world, will it be someone that
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't like peaches? So it doesn't matter what kind of
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: peach you are, you can god who doesn't like peaches?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: But it's so true, so true. Yeah, I thought that
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: was a really good one one. So they're just some
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: little bite sized chunks that you guys can hopefully take
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: away write them down maybe, or maybe it's just one
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: of them's landed and going ah. Like say, if you
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: are shruggling with your friendship to be like, Okay, that's
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: really sad that that friendship fell apart, but wow we
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: had some really good times together. Yeah, they really helped
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: me through a dark time. They might not be here now,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: but like I wouldn't been able to get through that
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: time without them, And that was a really beautiful task.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I pushed you guys and urge you to go write
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: yourself a letter or write down little things when they
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: pop up in your mind that you would want to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: say to your younger self when you're having a low day,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: reflect on them, back at them and be like, yeah, no,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: this is really nice, Like I deserve that love, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: deserve this, and yeah, it was a really beautiful, like
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: touching thing to do. I cried when I was writing it,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and they cried again, and it's all those beautiful little
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: releases and it's happy tears. I just feel so grateful.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: And sometimes those tears are uncried tears that you didn't
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: get to cry when you were younger, Like let them
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: come up now. And it might feel uncomfortable writing a
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: letter like that, but that's okay, like lean into it,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: running from everything that's uncomfortable. This society, I feel like,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: wants everything to be easy, fast, accessible. It's even like
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: eats and everything's everything is.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Easy, fast and accessible, even trying to like go to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: appointments and stuff, like a lot of them. Now you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: can do comfortable your home, like everything's been made so
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: much more comfortable, I feel like, which is.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Great in some sense, but like other things, like it's
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: okay to feel uncomfortable. That's how you grow, absolutely, how
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: you get to know the deeper layers of yourself. And
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: we need to.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Get more comfortable.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, situations, Yeah, one hundred percent what I see the
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: other day. It was like, hard decisions today make tomorrow easier.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Easy decisions today make it tomorrow tomorrow harder. And isn't
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that true? So true? It's like with your food, for example,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: if you didn't put in the work to prep your
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: lunch or whatever, Yeah, it's easier today, but then you
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: feel like shit tomorrow. Getting takeaway was if you put
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the hard effort in and like prep your food and
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: cook it up and put it in your containers, it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: easier tomorrow.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Definitely, so true.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Right, Uh huh freaking love that saying it out loud.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my son, Yeah, oh, thanks for joining us.
