  SPEAKER_00: Imagine this, you hopped on the band rocket, and now...
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: You're on Planet Butter.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: A world made of delicious,
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: sparkly peanut butter and an adorable disco ball of self-reflection is whirling
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: around in her transforming convertible.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for joining me in my 44th episode.

• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And email me if you desire, selffriendshippodcast at gmail.com.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: My answer to last week's question of the week,
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: which was,
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: what's something you're knowledgeable about that's not perceivably common knowledge?
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: The only answer I could possibly say in this context is,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Comically,
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: to me,
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: when I bop around sharing the phrase,
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: it actually is more often than not perceived as common knowledge.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: Until you visit Planet Butter or listen to this lovely little podcast.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's when the people start to realize it's not so common knowledge after all.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: That is the Planet Butter experience.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a perspective dance with circles.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: We say circle back as in let's circle back to that.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: I offer that we say circle forward because we're moving forward.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: If we circle back to something,
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: it means the thing,
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: the conversation we have evolved,
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: which is to move forward,
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: not backwards.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's nuanced, I know.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: That's the fun.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's also where the changes happen on our deeply subconscious little level of our oh-so-delicate brains.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a word replacement.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of I know, we can say affirmed.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like, imagine if people with walkie-talkies said, we moved in on the enemy.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And someone said, I know.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: They say affirmative.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: They don't do that.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: They don't say, I know.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: So we can be silly and say affirmative, or we can be a little more chill and say affirmed.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with let go.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we don't need to let go.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: We need to pass the baton.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: When we pass the baton,
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: we're saying I did everything in my power and took full responsibility for myself
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: in relation to whatever the situation may be.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: And now we're
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Universe, let's see what you got.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: When we do that, we can chill out.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: We know the thing still exists.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're not letting go in the sense of like, it disappears.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't disappear.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: It exists.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: You did something.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Now the universe is going to come in and be like, oh, thanks for doing your part.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm able to do all this cool magic.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: You see, that's how the universe works.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now a party of one.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: My friend Taylor Robbins,
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: an awesome photographer,
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: produced an event at free service in LA called Night School with Larry Chen,
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: another incredible car culture photographer.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: During the intermission, I asked Taylor to remind me what the second portion of the discussion would be.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: He said,
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: Larry is going to share his philosophy of bringing creativity out from within
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: ourselves rather than learning how to be creative.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then Taylor said, that's actually why I invited you.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, that's so cool.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: And he says, well, nobody talks about that more than you.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh, yeah.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: But do you know how fucking cool that is to hear?
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: This brings me to one of my latest concepts.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Creativity philosophers.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: This is a new breed of philosophers I've identified.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Those who deeply reflect on the capacity of human consciousness in relation to the
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: expression of creativity.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sit with it.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know what you think about it.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: Are you a creativity philosopher?
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to be?
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the work.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: From now on, when you hear or read or see someone say,
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: the work, I hope you'll choose to think of self-friendship.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: Self-friendship is the work.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's the solo work we do, self-reflecting and self-connecting like Blissy.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: And it's the integration of all that we choose to embody in our daily lives.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is also where party of one comes in.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Having fun with ourselves, for ourselves, as ourselves is the peak embodiment of
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: the integration of our inner work of self-friendship.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know if you have any questions.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now, good and tricky.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: We can shift our perspective by thinking of situations as good and tricky rather than good and bad.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Tricky suggests challenges or inconveniences that can be worked through,
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: presenting an opportunity for growth.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: In contrast, labeling something as bad and
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: often generates negative energy, which can more likely lead to limitations and blockages.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: So good and tricky.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: Next up is energetically speaking.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: I noticed I use this phrase a lot because it's really the only truth.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: Everything else in existence requires perception.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Though the perception of energy can vary, the truth of energy itself is truth.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas the perception of all else is only truth in our subjective experiences.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's complicated.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Again, sit with it.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know if you have any questions.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm happy to change my mind.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Understanding that.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: A note on dishes in the sink.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: Don't leave dishes in the sink, guys.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's an extension of your energy.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: And if your energy is scattered with dishes,
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: it's probably scattered in other much more important areas of your life too.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: That dish, that cup, it's taking up space.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: The point is we don't always know where we're blocking ourselves.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: The dish in your sink and the garbage in your car.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, clean that up.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Make room for something cooler.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now a note on dating.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: One simple guideline for whoever we meet.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: Match me and upgrade me.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: As in, be my equal and challenge me to become more.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Match me and upgrade me.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now a perspective dance with breakups.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: I've heard and seen a lot of people talk about mourning their relationships post-breakup.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: through the lens of self-friendship, let's consider that we're unwinding from a dynamic.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: We're ideally self-reflecting and self-connecting.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Which parts of ourselves that were present in the relationship do we want to keep
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: versus which parts of ourselves that were present in the relationship we want to
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: leave with that dynamic?
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Then you can more effectively move forward as this new mature version of your
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: single self.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: Technically, we're always single in my eyes in the sense of you're always with yourself, right?
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, another conversation.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the planet butter jet ring of consciousness in action.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Planet butter jet ring of consciousness is the cycle of prioritizing our intuition
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: and operating in our best interest.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: So friendship, intuition, sensations, action,
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sensations again, circle forward to intuition.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I was on my way to yoga when my intuition was nagging me, sunset, sunset, sunset, as it does.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I reached a light where the left turn was PCH.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't know, Los Angeles, California, Pacific Coast Highway, my favorite road.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: And my right turn was one block to my yoga class.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: Intuition leads.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: So sunset yelled at me.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: Then I checked my sensations and I felt excited by the thought of going on PCH and
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: uneasy in picturing the yoga class.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: The action was turn on to PC eight, check my sensations again, felt amazing alignment.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: And again, a reminder alignment as I define it is embodying our role in the ever expansive universe.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a phrase replacement.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: The phrase is light pollution.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: My thing is that stars are lights too.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like I only hear the phrase light pollution when we're talking about looking up at the stars.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: So I offer artificial lights.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: AL.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: AL pollution.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a note on be careful what you wish for.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, true.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because it will come true.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: My issue is that it's subliminally instilling fear.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Be careful.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Take precaution.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Again, true, but that's not super inspiring nor empowering.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe be thrilled with what you wish for.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: Let me know what you think about that.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: Be thrilled with what you wish for.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: I wish for my Planet Butter jet.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Custom made.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: I have a whole list of designs I won't spill to you right now.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Customize and I want to fly it and I want to work from it and I want to go do fun
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: things with it and deliver pizza to people all over the world and plant butter,
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: sparkly plant butter.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now a note on rarity.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: When people respond to your magical dreams and ideas that it's rare that whatever
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: it is happens to a person,
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: It might be true, but are you going to be rare or are you going to listen?
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now, self-friendship article snippet.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: How dare you be independent?
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: The willingness to do,
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: to be,
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: is a guiding tool leveraged to demonstrate to the universe the ownership of our
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: infinite expansiveness.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: As we continue to embrace,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: understand,
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: and enjoy ourselves,
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: the willingness to do what is in our best interest and be this expansive version of
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: ourselves requires a lot,
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: a lot,
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: a lot,
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: many,
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: many,
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: many,
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: multiple,
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: a variety,
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: an array,
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: a vast type of countless conversations we have zero fucking interest in having.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: These are peak moments to experiment with our willingness to upgrade as well.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: As we indulge in these experiences,
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: we increase our ability to remain grounded within ourselves,
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: to expand our mind with other people's perspectives,
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: and choose to self-reflect and self-connect after these types of conversations so
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: we can move forward with greater clarity of our own perspectives and
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: and how we show up in the world.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: This ultimately welcomes the uni to do its magic and co-create our next upgrade.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: Are you willing to upgrade?
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now, a perspective dance with in one ear, out the other.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: In one ear, through the lens of self-friendship,
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: out my mouth, and onto this podcast.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: Cute.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the question of the week.
• 13:15
