  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, and we got very lucky this time.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I was a little scared.

  Speaker 1: We almost had to share a bed, which this time

  Speaker 1: we got our own bed, which is nice.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I say, call and check again, make sure somebody else
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: doesn't need a double. You know we could use that double.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we did. And it's always so. Julie teases
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: me all the time because when you share it, when
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: your roommates on these trips, you have to deal with
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the little idiosyncrasies of the other people, right, And one
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of mine is that before I go to bed and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I kind of the pass off fall asleep is I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: always listen to Seinfeld. So true, and and you're gonna
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: be really excited. I'm excited.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Person's on today was on an episode of Seinfelds. You
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: probably got to listen to one of those while I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was and then she'd always like one time she tried
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to turn it off and I'm nearly.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Said yeah, she like grabbed my hand and I was like, oh,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: she has her eyes closed, but she's meditating to following
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a stint to sign. I love Seinfeld, but it's not
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: like the new Colm that we used to fall asleep to.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So I will say in your routine, newcom has proven
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to be better. No disrespect to Seinfeld, because it's still
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: amazing a lot amazing, amazing on the Mom's Club. But yes,

• 2:42
  Speaker 1: about it, and but I also can't say enough nice
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: things about going to sleep listening to Seinfeld. That's also
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a good option too.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I like to watch The Golden Bachelor to sleep too.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: We do.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So Julie is hooked.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: The Golden Bachelorette.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: She was hooked on the Golden Back and made that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Don turned out so well and then she got really infuriated.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: They really want to know the truth. I mean, I've
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: never seen anybody get so upset about.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Well getting expect why. It made me mad because I'm
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: definitely got married. Yeah, I just not a hater of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: new relationships. But you want hope that after a certain
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: age that you kind of got things figured out. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I was just kind of like ninety days and then
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: so I was just like, I don't know, it was
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: just kind of a letdown.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Well, how are you feeling about The Golden Bachelor right now?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I will tell you, I'm only yeah an one.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've only watched one episode of it. And because
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for me, personally, I was watching these people and I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: felt like she shared how how horrible it was losing
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: her husband, which I'm sure it was, yes, and how
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: wonderful he was, and then they all shared how they
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I only saw the ones that were widowers, and they
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: were all sad about their wives. Like this is kind
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of sad. I mean, yeah, but.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: They're being real and it's a real thing, and so
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: listen this also, I don't care. It's actually one of
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the number one shows on television right now because a
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: lot of people are either a choosing not to be
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: married anymore. And also that you want hope, You want hope,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: if you want to find someone. This gives you hope.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And it's fun. You want to have fun, and you
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: have choices. This is the beauty of it. This is
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: what I like about it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I know, I'm I'm for it. I think I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: think that's great. And you know what else I'm finding
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: from my nieces who are in their late twenties and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: early thirties, and I have two sons who, by the way,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: are both taken at the moment, but in the event
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that doesn't work out, they are very good looking and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: well educated. So just we're gonna love that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I feel like this is, you know, a popular topic,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: whether you're in your twenties or What I was going
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to say is sixth relationships.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: People are not having relationships like women. Women are finding
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it hard to find good guys to date. And they're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: telling me that the guys are all playing video games
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and hanging out with each other and they're just not
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: into relationships and it's really hard.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And well, the girls are hanging out with each other
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: and they're going to like homecoming in large groups. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: just did this this weekend and not a lot of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: people are getting dates or flowers or anything. So listen,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: you're having to adjust and you kind of want to
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: understand why this.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Is a big adjustment. And obviously, for the future of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the human race to continue, we need some we need
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: some good relationships, and there some good relations Why I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: am so excited today to introduce our guest who is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: A is a multi award winning LA theater director, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: she most recently won Broadway World's Los Angeles Best Director Award.

• 6:24
  Speaker 1: does a director in your professional career? How do you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: how do you come to being an expert on relationships?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Like what led you to write this book? I mean
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it's one thing to say how your friends say you're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: really good at fixing people up, or you have your advice,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but to actually sit and write a book about it
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and give advice that Where did that turn happen?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Chris. I want to say how happy I am
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to be here. It's just in your conversation and who
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you are. I've listened to several of your podcasts, as
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I was saying earlier to Julie, so enlightening, and you
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: guys are great together, serious and engaged and engaging, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that's beautiful.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: So thank you. Okay.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So I was at a party in Venice, California, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I was divorced from my first husband, and I was
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: at with some girlfriends and just getting over the experience
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of being so sad in shock right from being divorced.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And I was at this party and I remember it really,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: really well because I was sitting on this beige leather
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: sofa and I was just watching the people and there
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: were people coming in together, staying together, like little pods
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of people everywhere. People weren't connecting at all, right, And
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I had a white wine spritzer and I took a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: sip and put it on the coffee table, and I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: had like this moment, this thought, this vision, and I thought,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: what if what if someone like Oprah or doctor Ruth
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was like magically appear at this party and say something.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Like, all right, everybody, we know why you're here. You
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: want to find love?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Right, That's so good?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And I imagined everybody at the party responding, right, because
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that's actually what everybody wants, right, I mean, everybody wants love.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to miss out on connected.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Nope, you don't want to miss out you want you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: want a true companion.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So I thought, Okay, I'm going to create a singles
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: party where that's really going to be the main thing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It's going to be an intentional singles party where we're
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: going to have fun. Fun. As you were saying earlier, Julie,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: while you were watching that show, is that fun. Fun
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: is so important. And when you're having fun, you're like yourself.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, I was watching a kid yesterday. We're taking a walk.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: The little boy was playing and he was so engaged
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: in what he was doing. He was so happy. And
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: when we have fun, we're ourselves. We're glowing, we're the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: blood is like flowing right, our hearts beating, we're smiling,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: we're laughing. We're incredibly attractive when we're having fun. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I thought, if I throw a singles party where the
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: premise is everybody's having fun, and I would set that up,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: then people would meet people.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: So you're saying that pressure is lifted.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Pressure is lifted.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: And also you're there, you're all open hearted, you're there
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: because you want to be there, like you believe in love.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It takes courage to have hope, right, and so you
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: were saying earlier, So the hope that you're going to
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: meet someone, I mean, that's a beautiful thing. So I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: threw several of these parties with some girlfriends, and we
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: had boyfriends, and some people got married and they were great,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: and then I got married and then no more parties. Right. So,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: about two years ago, at a birthday party during the pandemic,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a woman and I were talking. Her name is Francine,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and she was saying, I cannot meet a guy. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: can't meet a guy. I'm in la it is terrible
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and depressed. And I said, why don't you throw a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: single party? And she said, oh, I couldn't do that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And I told her about the ones I threw and
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: she said, well, Terry, can you throw me one? And
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I said, no, I'm not going to throw you one.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to write a book. I'm going to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: write a guide book on how to throw a single party.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: And that's how I wrote the book. That's a party,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: how to have fun while finding true love?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Can you give us the top two in there? What
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: you do at this party? The party looks like, give
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: us something? Well, here's the cover, yeah, show it up there,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: there you go. I can't wait to read it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And it's actually, I've got to say in our modesty,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I reread it yesterday and it's really fun. It's it's
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: it's a hopeful and helpful kind of book.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: It's easy to read.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, a couple things.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: One of the main things is, as I said earlier,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you need to be open hearted. So when you're throwing
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: this party, you want to be open hearted and you
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: want to find You want to maybe get one or
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: two of your girlfriends to throw the party with you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Makes it easier, but they're open hearted as well.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: The next thing that's really important, and I call it
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the link effect. It's really easy to throw these parties
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: because all I have to do. Okay, so let's say
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: it's me. I'm throwing the party. I'm single, open hearted.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I am going to invite a male friend, platonic single,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: also open hearted.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Done, he gets to come to the party.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: If he invites a female single friend, platonic, open hearted,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: she can come to the party, but she has to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: invite a male friend platonic open hearted.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Oh I see how this works, right, So everybody has
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to have mentally stable friends.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Is at least one at least one of the opposite steps, right,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: If it's if you've got you straight, you want that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: So what happens?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I say you have three people throwing the party three hosts, right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: So each one, excuse me, invites one or two.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That's all you have to do, one or two, one
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: or two, one or two. And then they invite, they invite,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: they invite, and it's exponential. Right.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, I like this, could you know what happening? You
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: don't know who's coming.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly, You don't know who's coming, and in all probability,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you'll never know who's coming because it takes you outside
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of your world. Right, So let's say I invite Bob.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Bob invites Mary, who is his trainer. Mary invites you know, Joseph,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: who's her dentist, and that keeps on going. So you're
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: meeting all these single people that are hopefully open hearted
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that you would never in a million years meet.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, I like this much better than Monica calling
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: me and being like, hey, we're having friend dinner with
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: a friend and we're down the street and he's single.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we had one and yeah, and I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: had a friend who was a widow er like he
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: had heard his wife had passed away the year before,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and we happened to be down the street from Julie's house,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and I said, Hey, I have a single friend up
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the hill. So but yeah, that didn't.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Work out, Yeah, because I was at But I like
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: your idea.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Like your idea because you get to meet new people,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: but a lot of platonic things. So it's not like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: someone you secretly have a thing for that you invited
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: this party. You have to make sure it's somebody that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you're not interested in, but right someone else might be.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: That's a great idea exactly.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And the other to answer your question, Julie, the couple
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: of things about the parties, because so that everybody comes right,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So you come and you know maybe one person, that's
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: it okay because you know one everybody's in the same boat.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So everybody jumps into the water, which is warm and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: fun and you know, appealing at the same time. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: then the other thing about the party is that you
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: create games. And in the book I have the games
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and the welcome game kind of so that everybody is
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: welcomed in the same way. I have different corners set up.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I call them affinity corners. So what do you like
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to do, Julie, what's one of your favorite things that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: you like to do?
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, I like to play tennis. Is that
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: what you mean?
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, So this is your party. And then
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: you have a corner where it's kind of like you
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: can even put a little banner sports corner. Yeah like
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and you have yeah, and so people will be will
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: gravitate to that corner. Who likes sports?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I like that you don't have to talk about your job,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the kids, they're driving your nuts, you know, all the drama.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: So you know, a guidance has helpful.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: This sounds like a fun party. Can you be married?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And oh, I guess that's not a good idea. Never mind,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear. You can do what I said. Could
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you be married and go? It sounds like a fun
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: party to me?
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I mean you could.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Uh. One of a married friend actually read the book
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and said, I'm married, happily married. What was great about
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the book is that there's so many things about it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that encourage you to have fun in your life.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, you enjoy your life.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Because that's one of the reasons we're here, I think,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: is to truly live who you're meant to be and
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: enjoy yourself and do all the things that you want
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to do and hopefully find people and if you don't find,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: you know, a mate, you might find two or three
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: friends that will become your good friend.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: So that's that's a meadus. And I can tell you
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: that I had to laugh because I was like, I
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: love this idea so much better because I saw a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: show recently where they were talking about dating apps and
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: how god awful it is and that they might as
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: well just call these apps what's left, because like I mean,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: it's just absolutely you know, So thank you for the book,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Thanks for being like an awesome friend because all your friends.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about you, but clearly
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: everybody's asking your advice on you know, all of these times.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's great. I love it. I'm going to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: read that book. I think that is that's amazing. As
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: we say, you're on the show and okay, this is what.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So with the success of her book, yes, you probably
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: get to go to a lot of weddings and you're
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: probably gonna need a wedding planner and we have one
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to day Lindsey congression. Welcome to the Mom's Club. Welcome
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Lindy so much.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: So now when do we so when we've been to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: these parties, and we finally met our true love, which Julie,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I bet she's married by next year, so she's going
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to need to know about that. When would she need
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: your services versus she could just throw her own wedding? Like,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: what what makes what makes that decision?
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: What makes the decision of hiring a wedding finner?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whether you should have a wedding planner or you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: just do your own.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Right, Well, you know it's it's I think it's better
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: not to wing it right, So that's why you would
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: hire a wedding planner. I've had Bless Productions for fifteen years,
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: so we're definitely well versed in the area of wedding
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: planning an event design. But I think it's so fun
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: to be able to collaborate with somebody that's in the
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: industry that knows all about it. What vendors to go
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: to to get some help with designing your wedding, keep
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: you on budget, and make sure that it all goes
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: well so that you can just have fun.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's actually making fun of me, Lindsay, because I can't.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I'm terrible at paperwork, so this would be an absolute
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: must for me.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, yeah, Well, Julief it makes you feel any better.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: I'm single too, so.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Fun.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: I was cracking up in the background and Terry, that is.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Such a good idea.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: I love this idea. It's fabulous.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: So you too could throw a party.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: We should we should go a party before and after?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Before is the party, Then after is the wedding.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, and then and then and then when
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: one or the both of you end up getting married,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you can have to say this wedding is thanks thank
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: courtesy of this book with a QR code where they
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: can buy it so everybody else can know how they can.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: But lindsay, I mean I need to hear where are
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: you located?
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Website like calls about how you if someone needs a
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: wedding planner.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Like sure, yeah, so I'm located in Orange County, California,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: but we do weddings all over. We just recently did
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: one in Aspen and Cabo and Hawaii, so we're also
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: destination wedding planners. Let's see, I have a degree in
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: interior design, so we really specialize in designing more high
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: end events and not just weddings events. So corporate, nonprofit,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: et cetera. Yeah, I've had bless productions for fifteen years.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: And my dad was a custom home builder in Laguna
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Beach for thirty five years, so I worked for him
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: for quite some time as well as Ford and First American.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then there were all the hot spots on
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: houses that you could have a wedding at or yeah.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: It's so fun. Fun of the great venues, that's for sure.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So that you get to do some of the high end,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: really fun weddings. Like I went to a wedding where
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the girl married a professional golfer and it was during
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the winter, and so there were ice sculptures everywhere, and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: one of them was you took a colored golf ball
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and you hit the golf ball and it went through
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the ice sculpture and it landed and it hit a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: pin and then that you got it shout at tequila.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so fun, it was fancy. You can really
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: That's true. I know, and it's becoming that way more
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: and more. I mean it's a lot of times it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: becoming a lot less traditional, and especially with second marriages. Julie. Yeah, well,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure if you've been married before, but I have,
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: so if I do this another time, it's going to
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: be a lot of fun.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure I'm willing to do that again, but.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: You will.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, but you know, Terry's book could be
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: for anybody, right, Terry O.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: But I would like to know are you doing a
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: lot of marriages that are you know, in your fifties
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: sixty seventies.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: A lot of weddings?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, weddings.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: I've done a lot. Actually, in fact, I just did
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: a wedding two days ago on Saturday at Montage and
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: this was both of their second weddings and such a
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: sweet couple and they both have kids. So absolutely all right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: So tell us real quick, where do people find you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to plan this wedding?
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Sure, my company's name is Bliss Productions and my Instagram
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: is also Bliss Productions, so that's where you would find me.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, terrific. Well, you know, Julie, I really feel like
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: this is probably one of the most important shows we've
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: ever done.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: It's really planning my wedding.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And that is what we call today soup to nuts.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: We're going like meet the guy, marry the guy. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: get that is the best kind of show. So we
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: have today with us some women that want to know more.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: There are zoomer moms. So welcome zoomer moms. Welcome to
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the Mom's Club.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Right, yes, thank you, good.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Welcome moms welcome. So I'm going to introduce each one
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: of you. You tell us a little bit about yourself
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and ask either of these lovely ladies a question. We'll
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: start with Liz, Welcome to the Mom's Club. Tell us
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit about yourself, and do you have a
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: question for our guests?
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: Hey, yes, I am from Dallas. I'm the mother of Want,
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: I'm a single mom. I work obviously on the road,
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: and so I have a question for the lady Lindsey
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: who always has these great weddings that they see. Is
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: there something that you see in terms of the people
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: that are getting married with the families that shows from
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: what you've seen, based off your clients, what would be
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: a long term happy marriage based off the parents of
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: the families that are getting married.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Gosh, based upon the families, well grounded families, right, good morals.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I think a family that it's always nice if you
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: can stay together, that's always a good, you know, thing
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: to do. But if it's not healthy, I think it's
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: sometimes better to not, but I mean that's a really
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: that's kind of it can be loaded. I think, just
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: a solid foundation for the children to learn how to
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: grow up and see a really good relationship right to
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: hopefully make good choices later on in life.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a very good question that actually, Ladi so terry,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: have you ever had one of these parties where you're like, oh,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: hold on, wait a minute, maybe that's not going to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: be such a great thing. Like do people ever kind
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: of steer people away in these parties? Like, I don't
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: know that that one's.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: You know, that's interesting in terms of the parties. Hopefully
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: you're bringing somebody who you actually like, you know, like
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: your personic friend. But there's one particular party and actually
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: it turned out that I ended up dating this guy
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: who he was a friend of a friend, right, and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: he was like he had had three wives at the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: point that I met him, and he had a tremendous
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: amount of baggage. And I'm not talking you know, Louis
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Vuitton kind of baggage, because that would have been okay,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: but like the kind of baggage that he was just
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: really willing to, like, you know, put on my shoulders
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: and I kind of had an inkling that that was
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: the case from the friend of the friend, a little
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: bit of you know stuff.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: But sometimes you just got to.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Go through it in order to get through it, to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: get to the other side. You learn so much and
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: you learned they'll never do that again, and sometimes you
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: have to do that. So but I think the question
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: is an interesting question because if you're looking at the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: family or the parents of who you're going to marry,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: they can tell you a lot. You just have to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: kind of have your eyes open and be willing to look.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: That is true. I've always heard you should always look
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: at Well, first of all, you're marrying the family, not
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: just the person. Even if they say they don't speak
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to their family anymore, they still that's a whole other issue.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I clearly did not get the memo that's the first
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: time around.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, anyway, and then I guess supposedly, you know
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: you're you will be like your mother if the woman
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and the fun and the guy's gonna end up being
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: like a fun Supposedly, I.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Suppose that's supposedly that's just what they say.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nancy, welcome to the mom's club. Tell us a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: little bit about yourself. And do you have a question
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: for our guests?
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much. This has been really interesting.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: I am living on the island of Maui in Hawaii,
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: and I'm especially interested because I'm a wedding officiant and
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: an author of non fictional books. WHOA and just to share,
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: I'm super excited with my newest book is a historical
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: memoir of my father's escape, which was a miracle from
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: World War II Lithuania, and it's about resilience and a
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: hunt for truth because seventeen family members were murdered by
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: the Nazis. It's called fifty Cents for a Life, a
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: true story of surviving by synchronicity because the miracles in
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: life present you pathways that you didn't even know exist.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: And I'm just thrilled with the response and where it's going.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: So i have lots of questions for both of you,
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: but I'll start with Lindsey.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I am in.
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: A destination wedding location. Ninety percent ninety five percent are
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: from other places, and what are the trends for destination weddings.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: A lot of mine.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Are just the couples or very small groups. What's going
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: on with the trend? Do they want to stay home
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: your family or do they want to travel right?
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, such a good question. Honestly, it depends on the individual.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: Oftentimes we get couples that don't have a venue, which
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: is so fun because then this guy's the limit. Sometimes
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: that they're open to it. I think I just mentioned
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: that we just did when in Hawaii, actually on the
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: island of Kona. But the trends in terms of design
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: are really monochromatic. Now. There's a lot of white on
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: ivory on beige, so they want to stay very neutral,
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: which is fun, but sometimes it does make it hard
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: to do something there's not much pop involved in there. Yeah,
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: so that's the current trend.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I will say too, as a guest of destination weddings,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: just a little caveat about that. We were invited to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: two where we rented a VRBO and the weddings didn't
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: happen and we lost our money.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: It happened to me too, actually, as a guest, I
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: think it's important just to be aware of that.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: When you're planning one of those. You know, are you
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: gonna lose any friends if you end up not getting married?
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Terry, have you been to any of these weddings of
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: people that you've introduced, I mean has.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that you've introduced like yeah, yes, absolutely, Joan and Howard.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Joan actually helped me with the first party, and then
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: somebody at the first party wanted her to help her
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: at a second party. Joan went and created the second
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: party and Howard showed up and they've been together. They
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: have three kids. Yeah, I mean, it's as the other guest,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the mom was just saying, the synchronicity, you just it's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: always around you. You just never know it unless you're
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: looking for it. And you know, we all get where
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: we get because of a million things, right different people.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: This one thing happened that made you do this all that,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: so it's always it's also it's special. And if you
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: could be there at the beginning of something and if
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: you say you saw the two people or you saw
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: one and then they connected to somebody else, like you
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: feel you birthed something beautiful, which is you know, talking
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: about mothers, like we're always birthing things, if it's friendships
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: or ideas or books, or we're always kind of giving.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I think you just found the title to your next book.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe you know inspire.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Actually I'm I hope I I hope I can find
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you your your true love, and then you can look
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: back and say Monica, Yeah, thanks to Monica, good luck.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: If not for you, then maybe lindsay I can help you.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I just feel of yeah, I.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Know, I'm not really taking one for the team today.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Maybe Emily has a question? Yeah, yes, yes.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Well, we not only have zoomer moms, we also
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: have zoomer daughter. What is the case clame in this
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: case a zoom er niece, because we want to hear
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: from some of the younger women who also might be
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: inspired by the party and certainly by weddings, and so
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I want to welcome my niece, Emily, Welcome to the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Mom's Club. Do you have a question?
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Hello, yes, I do. I was wondering if you could
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: talk a little bit about the process of writing your
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: book and what that was like.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, that's a good question. I there's a writing
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: teacher that I love. He works on zoom, so you
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: can be anywhere in the world and you can zoom
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: with him. His name is Jack Grapes and you can
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: look him up Jack Grapes dot com and he teaches
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: like the writing method similar to acting methods. So it
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: was you don't have to be an actor to go
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: to his classes, but I connected to him, excuse.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Me, and to it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: And I think a teacher is great, a mentor is
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: great because they have you open up yourself, you know,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: open up the doors. And I'm the kind of person
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: that if I say I'm going to do something, I
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: really try to actually do it and complete on it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: So I started, I just started with, well, how did
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I come up with this idea? Which is what I
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: talked about earlier the party in Venice. So I just started, Yeah,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: and you just you sit for two hours a day
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: if you can do that, or one hour a day.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: You commit.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is that the muse needs to
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: know where to find you. You know, I've heard that.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: So you can be wandering around and you can get
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: an idea, but that doesn't mean that an idea is
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: going to be enough. It's never enough an idea. You
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: need to sit in front of your computer and you
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: need to commit to yourself basically, and you also need
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to say to yourself, I have ideas, I'm worth it, Yeah,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I'm i I'm worthwhile. Something I'm going to say is
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: going to be meaningful to somebody else. And that kind
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: of helps me and helps I think somebody sit down
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and write something. I wish you luck. What are you
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: trying to write?
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I've always thought about writing a book someday.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of went in and out there. Just
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: my suggestion and my my, oh, my advice is to
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: just sit down and write.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: We might have lost Emily, but I can tell you
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: that I read a little bit about Terry about how
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: you started, and that's what I really liked about it,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: because I too have thought about, you know, some of
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: the things I think about and writing down, but you
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: really only did it a few minutes a day in
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: the beginning my understanding, and then it developed into something
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you know, that came about, and I think that lightens
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: the pressure of oh I have to know the beginning,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the end, a certain timeline, all of that. So I
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: love that and I think that was with your book
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Lightness of Rain. Is that right? And you didn't really
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: know that you loved you know, writing or poetry or
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Is that true?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely true the thing about writing for me, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's true and for any of the arts
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: at least that the ones that I've been involved in.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Is that you get to discover as you go along.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: You know, there are some people that map out everything
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and that do it an outline, which is great that they.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Can do that.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I don't do that because there are so many ideas
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and thoughts that I don't know at the beginning that
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have, and I don't necessarily know where
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the character is going to go, and I want to
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: find out with them. So for me, it's a very
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a discovery and it's it's a it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: a great art form for that purpose.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean does that go along with directing too,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Like when you see when you're in it and you
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: may not be taking you may not even have an
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: outlin you may take a different direction. I mean a
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: lot of people aren't super familiar with directing, but you've
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: done so much of it. Can you speak to me
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: a little bit about that?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, oh, I would love.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: To being an actor first.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I have It's like my natural my mother tongue is acting.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: So when I'm working with actors, I know what it
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: is that they need and the subtext and the intention
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff, so I can communicate really easily
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: with them in terms of the overall. If it's a play,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I need to kind of have a metaphor for the play. So,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: for example, I did a play called Laron de Lunch,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: which is very which is a very funny play, and
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: it was like a circular kind of play like character A,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: character B. We're in the first scene, second scene character B,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: character C, and then character CE, character D, and all
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: the way back to character A. And to me, the
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: metaphor was, Oh, it's like a merry go out everybody.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: He's coming on and getting off. And so that helped
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: me with the pacing and the vitality of the piece. Yeah,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: so you have it and you don't know what's going
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: to happen until you're actually working with those exact actors
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: with those lines exactly in the moment. So it's it's
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: always kind of thrilling.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: That's what's so great about doing anything that's just creative.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Like I wrote a book, and just listening to you
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: talked about writing a book, it's like, later on when
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I was reading on to after you write the line,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: You're like, that was really good. I mean I feel
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: like I feel good about that. Well, Liz, I'm looking
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: at you there and I feel like you have one
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: more question.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: No, oh my goodness.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Well, Liz was actually a guest on one of our
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: other shows and it was a great show, I have
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to say. And she came to our event in Dallas,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: which was a lot of fun. So it's good to
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: see some zoomer moms repeated zoomer moms and guests, and.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: So I know for sure, Yeah, that was really amazing.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of moms came out there.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: They did. Wasn't that a great event? Let me just
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: show that as well.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Everybody was very cool.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the party, now, maybe we can so, Terry,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: maybe we can start a new book too about this.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: This is how to get moms like connecting, which is
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: really important. That's what our show is all about. So
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: we have events that are live events. We did one
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: in Dallas, that's the one Liz is referring to, and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: it was at the Beaman Hotel in Dallas, and once
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: a month we invite moms to come out, bring their friends,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: get together and and just.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: The room was electric. I mean the women talking to women,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: We were networking, we were telling our story. You know,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: everyone has a story. And what's so interesting is that.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: You know, I think everybody there Liz can probably speak
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: to this was having a really good time and it
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: was you know, lighthearted and fun and you know, a
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: break from the mundane.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: And you make new friends. And it didn't hurt that
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: we gave away some surprising nice things. Yeah that helped too.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: So yeah, me in.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: If you do one again in La and stuff, cut
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: me in like.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: That'd be great. No, we would love that because that's
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: what we envisioned. So what we envision here with the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Mom's Club is not just you know, our podcast or
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: whatever else we might have happening here, which could be
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: happening here soon, but just a network of women who
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: can connect and be friends with each other and you know,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: meet new friends and you have a support group, because
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. This show is really about
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: mom's friendships because we became friends through our kids as moms.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: But you know, you can be.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Dog and I would be completely lost without my friends.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: And she really would be if you really know her
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: very well.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: But I mean that's true, especially the past four or
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: five years. But I you know, I would love to
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: know try what pools all your friends to you to
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: you know, be able to give this advice in life,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: and you know, I'm just curious, Like, tell me about
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: a little bit about your group of friends that you
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: know they keep asking and that you know you were
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: able to create a book out of it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, As we were speaking earlier about mothers, right, trying
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: that I felt so connected with my mother and still
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: do every day. I think because she was so great,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: she loved me so unconditionally that I have a similar
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: feeling to women and to my friends. And so I
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: love my female friends and they love me. Yeah, and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I have They're in circles. It's like there's the like
• 37:47
