  Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful beans, and welcome to the podcast episode of Today.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: So in this episode, it's kind of going to be
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: fifty percent to me talking about fentanyl because I think
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that's something that's been around in the news and the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: media a lot, and I think it's important to explain
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is, the mechanism of action, and also
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: kind of what happens if someone's having a fenttional overdose
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and what can be done and all of that kind
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of stuff. And then I am going to be talking
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: about if you are scared of regretting the choices that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you're going to make. So this is kind of based
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: around a listener question that was sent in and I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: really loved, well, I loved the question, but I also
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: loved how she titled this question because I think it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: like so many of us can relate to that basically.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So hopefully by the end of this episode, you'll have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit more knowledge in pharmacology, which is my
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: favorite topic, and then you'll be able to feel a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: little bit more confident about the choices that you make
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: without fearing that you'll regret them, because I think that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: us sitting in this fear of regret will stop us
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: from taking action, and it will also stop us from
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: taking any kind of risk, especially if there's like two
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: big decisions and where i'ming and a ring, and then
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: what happens for so many of us is that we
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: end up doing none of the two or the least risk,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: like the one that gives the least risk possible. Anyway,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: let's get straight into it. Oh sorry, sorry, Before we
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: get into it quickly, I do want to say that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: my fucking app is launching on Thursday. So for those
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of you that don't follow me on social media, firstly, rude,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: why do you not? It's a vibe? Two reasons why
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you should follow me on social media. I have a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: broadcast channel called the Self Love Club, and that broadcast
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: channel is epic because I put question prompts and the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: answers that you guys give in that broadcast channel is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: enough to inspire you for a lifetime. So already you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: need to be joining that broadcast channel. And then I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: just share all these other really cool things. So follow
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: me on Instagram at Alexis Fernandez preaksa or do You
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Fucking Mind? Podcast? But my app, so you guys know
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that I've done like meditations and pep Talks, and I've
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: been wanting to like expand to something else. This has
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: kind of been like an on and off project for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: about two years where things were happening and they're not
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: happening anyway. The point is that it is ready. My
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: app called Hotel Mindset, so it is. The concept is
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that you can check in to this kind of hotel
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: app and it's where you can get absolutely everything for
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: your brain, body and mind. So on this app I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: will have and I'll be always adding things on. Of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: course it will always be updated. But I have a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: crazy list of meditations. I've got mini episodes kind of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: like brain Hat pep Talks. I've got every single pharmacology
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and brain fact that I've ever done on the podcast
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in an entire library, so you can search up pharmacology facts,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: science facts, psychology facts, just straight up brain facts. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: have sleep stories. I have affirmations, So these are like
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: five minute affirmations that you can do, similar to a meditation,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: but you are saying out loud statements that help rewire
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: thought patterns in your brain. And of course a huge one.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I have workouts. Now. The way I approach workouts is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: primarily like as you guys know, I was a politis
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: instructor and a personal training for ten years before I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: started the podcast, while like in and out of while
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I was studying undergrad and masters. So working out and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: teaching has been a huge part of my career and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a huge part of my life. And when I used
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to do my workouts on the website, which is around
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: three years ago, I think I had like such a
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: great community. It was so fun. I loved it. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the only reason I stopped doing it because I was
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: coming into my final semester of UNI and I was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: just worried that I wouldn't be consistent. And I was like,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we'll be back in a year. Anyway. Three years later,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: here we are, I'm coming back with my workouts. So
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the workouts, there's a library of stretches, there's polarates at home,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and then there's like resistance at home, so it's all
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: at home. They're all between fifteen and twenty five minutes
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the workouts, and it is obviously yes, there's the knowledge
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that I have around exercise and working out, so you're
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: going to get a very very good workout. It's scalable.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It's for people who are absolute beginners. Too advanced in polarates.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I give many different level options in the workouts, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: most importantly it is so no matter what you do,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you can do a fifteen minute workout for your brain.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Everything comes down to your brain health. It's great playlists,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you're having a good time fifteen minutes. I think most
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of us are able to allocate even just fifteen minutes,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so I try and make it as holistic as possible.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So you've got your movement, you've got your meditations, you've
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: got your affmationions, you've got your facts, your science, you've
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: got your sleep stories, you've got sounds. It's just an
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: absolute fucking vibe. And the price is this is all
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in Australian dollars, so obviously if you're in because I've
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: got a big audience in the US. If you are US,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot less the dollar amount,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: but in Aussie dollars it is thirty one dollars a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: month or two hundred and hundred and fifty for the year.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So there is a seven day free trial as well.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So on Thursday, if you are kid it has been
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: then go download Hotel Mindset app through the app Store
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and you'll be able to start your seven day free
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: trial and see if it's something that works for you.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Anyway, let's get straight into the podcast
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: episode of today. We're taking a slight dive into this
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: level of excitement to something a little bit more serious,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and we're talking about fentanyl. Okay, So fentanyl is a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: synthetic opioid. Now I've spoken about opioids a lot. There's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a huge range of opioids. We have opioid receptors in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: our brain, and it is a pain killer essentially, among
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: other things which I'll go in too, but basically, it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is a painkiller. Fentanyl is produced in a lab. Like
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I said, it is synthetic, So sometimes opioids come from plants,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but in this case it's produced in a lab, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it is fifty to one hundred times more powerful than morphine,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: so it is extremely potent. So it is approved in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: medical settings to treat really, really really severe pain. Normally
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it's to treat acute traumatic pain or advanced cancer pain
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: as well. It acts very very fast and it is
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: extremely effective at very small doses, So it is a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: phenomenal tool in the medical world to be used on
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: patients that really need it. So there's a lot of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: good With all drugs that we speak about, there's often
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: going to be maybe not all drugs, but most of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the drugs and chemicals that we talk about, there's often
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: going to be a very good use for it. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: then there's going to be where people humans have abused it,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: where it's extremely dangerous. Okay, So fentanyl, as you can imagine,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is very widely used in emergency departments and hospitals primarily.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It can also be prescribed, but that's obviously very very
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: dependent on the individual and on what kind of what
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it is that they're going through. But recently related deaths
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are primarily linked to illegally made drugs. You're not really
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: going to hear about a related death in an emergency
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: department because you have you know, the dose is the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: correct dose, it is being monitored, it's being you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the way it's being administered, and even if someone did
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: have an overdose in a hospital setting, they would be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: able to do something to reverse that overdose very very quickly.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you how you can reverse
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a fentinal overdose, literally reverse it. It's fascinating. Pharmacology is unbelievable.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So because venttional is also quite low cost, this is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: why we're seeing, especially in the United States, this huge
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: problem with fentanal laced drugs. Because ventanyl is low cost,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it's got a very high potency, so a lot of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: drug dealers are going to mix it with other drugs,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: so the people taking it feel a strong effect. Right. However,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the actual drug dealer is able to cut it, they
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: save a lot of money, they're able to steal someone's like,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I still felt something. But you know, they're
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: not actually selling cocaine, or they're not actually selling what
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it is that they're say that they're going to sell. Obviously,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the main problem here is that the individual A doesn't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: know they're taking ventanyl and B doesn't know how much
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: ventanyl they're taking, because it massively increases the likelihood of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: fatalities because of how powerful the dose is, So two
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: milligrams two milligrams are fentanyl could be enough to cause
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: an overdose in certain individuals, And of course this depends
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: on the individual's size, and it also depends if they
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have used it before, if they have a tolerance. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: if you're someone who's slight, who's never used ventanyl, before
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: two milligrams could be enough to kill you, okay, which
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: is fucking terrifying. You can't smell fentanyl, you can't taste fentanyl,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So this makes it really impossible to tell if your
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: drugs are laced with this opioid without like a drug
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: test strip, which would pick up that it is lessed
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: with fentanyl. But if you're just like looking at that,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: let's say it's cocaine or whatever other drug, the individual
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: taking that drug cannot tell unless they've actually taken it
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that it's fentanyl. It cannot be easily absorbed through the skin. Okay,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So you can't overdose on fentanyl by touching something that's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: touched fentanyl, like a dollar bill or whatever. That's not
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. So it's very safe for people to help
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: somebody that has overdosed onfentanyl. You're not gonna then cause
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: yourself an overdose by touching it. Ventanl skin patches do exist,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and they can be prescribed by a healthcare provider for
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: pain relief, of course, but they've got a very special
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: formulation that allows the fentanyl to then be slowly absorbed
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: through the skin, and even then it takes our of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: exposure and that's you know, mixed with other things that
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: allow it to absorb into the skin. So you just
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: touching it, you'll be fine. Now, fentanyl comes in different forms, pills, powders, liquid,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: it's like I said, it's been found primarily especially if
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: people don't know they're taking it, especially this whole issue
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that's happening in the United States, when it's mixed with
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: other drugs. So this includes heroin pills like ecstasy pills, meth, methamphetamines, cocaine,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it's used to replace other drugs entirely. Okay, Now,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: this is a really scary statistic. From May twenty twenty
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to April twenty twenty one, more than one hundred thousand
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Americans people from the United States, died from a drug overdose. Okay.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Sixty four percent of those deaths were due to synthetic
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: opioids like fentanyl and its analogues. So an analogue, when
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: we're referring to drugs, when we're referring to like drug molecules,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: is basically a simple copy or an improved version of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that drug molecule. Okay. So that's very concerning in my opinion.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: So given that it is an opioid. What it is doing,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it is heavily sedating you to the point where it
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: can be extremely dangerous because it reduces, among other things
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: like your heart rate, but it reduces your breathing rate
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to dangerously low levels. And that is the main cause
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of opioid deaths. It is your breathing rate drops. You
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: naturally on your own cannot pick it back up because
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it is a depressant in the central nervous system. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you are basically suffocating to death pretty much when you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: have an overdose. And this can still happen in hospital settings.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: But for those taking ventanyl in hospital settings, or they're
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: not even they're not taking it, they're being administered this,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a medical team available there to like
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: monitor the breathing, monitor the heart rate, and be able
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to tweak the dosage amount. And also the dosage amount
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that's given in hospitals is far, far, far far less
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: than the two miligrams that would cause an overdose or
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a death. Okay, so let's quickly talk about the actual
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: mechanism of action offentanyl, and then we're going to talk
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: about what you can do if you or somebody else well,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: primarily it's more what somebody can do if another individual
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: has overdosed on fentanyl. Okay. So the mechanism of action
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: offentanyl is it binds to opioid receptors. Okay, so that's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: why you get pain relief, sedation, anxiety relief or anxiety reduction,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and also a sense of euphoria. So that's morphine does
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the same. Any opioid that binds to the opioid receptor
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: in the brain gives this sensation. Okay, But opioids, the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: dangerous thing about opioids is that they have Most opioids,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: if not all, have this no ceiling effect, and that
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: means that there's no limits to how much of the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: effect can keep happening within the body. So safe drugs
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: drugs that have a ceiling where no matter how many
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: doses you take of that drug, you can't really overdose.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And there is a whole category of drugs that are
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: have a ceiling. But opioids, fentanyl in particular, which is
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about, has this no ceiling effect. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the more you administer, the more the the response is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: going to be in the body, which is great in
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a medical setting because you can really play around with it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But terrible in like a fucking recreational setting. So what's happening. Basically,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's promoting this potassium conductance, so this when this happens,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the neuron is less likely to fire something called an
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: action potential, and action potential is basically where it sends
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a signal down the axon to communicate with the other cell.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So there's less likelihood of that action potential happening. It's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: also inhibiting calcium conductance, so the neuron that it has
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: bound to on the opioid receptor on the neuron. Because
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: all these receptors or on our neurons in our brains, okay,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it is less likely to release neurotransmitters, so you're dampening
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: down activity in the brain significantly. Now it's also the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: location of where these receptors are found is also going
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to determine what the result is going to be or
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: what the effect is going to be. So these receptors
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: also found in the spinal cord, and pain receptors are
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the spinal cord. So you're inhibiting this information, the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: pain information that's being sent from the spinal cord to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the brain. Hence this significant pain release. But it's also
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: acting on these descending pathways from the brain down to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the spinal cord to also help reduce pain. So you're
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: ascending and descending inhibition. Then you can also reduce the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: emotional response to pain when it binds to areas in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the anterior singular cortex. Okay, this also binding in certain
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: regions if the mid brain is going to increase dopamine levels,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: which is also what makes the drug super addictive. So
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on top of the fact that you're getting this euphoric
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: feeling pain relief anesthesia, you are then becoming addicted because
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of the release of dopamine that you get. Yet when
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the drug is administered and then having too much of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: this drug, like many other drugs, can lead to a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: tolerance where your response to that same dose the following
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: time you have it is decreased. So people want to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: get that same high, so they increasing that dose to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: match the original high or the original feeling of euphoria,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and that's just going to keep like increasing, increasing, increasing.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: So that's why I said your tolerance is dependent on
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: an overdose or not. So someone who has built up
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a tolerance could have more than the two milligrams or
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: may not and another interesting thing, I'm going to veer
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: off slightly. I want to talk about overdose for a second.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Another interesting thing about overdose, It is not just the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: drug that causes an overdose in individuals. The environment can
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: also impact what kind of overdose or if the person
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: has an overdose. So, for example, if somebody has a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: dose or a drug, a drug addict, for example, has
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a dose of a drug that they are normally used
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to happening, but then when they take that dose, some
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in their environment happens that scares them more, jolts them,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: or something that could cause an overdose because you're combining
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: fear or adrenaline at the same time that you're taking
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a drug. So overdose is not purely or you had
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to have had a bigger dose than what you were
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: normally capable of happening. An overdose can happen with even
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a lower dose than what the drug addict or the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: drug user is used to having. So that's very important
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to note as well. So it's not something to be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: fucked around with. Hum. So now let's get to the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: good bit. Okay, what can reverse the effects of fentanyl.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I've spoken about this before on a brain fact I'm
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: going to speak about it again. It is called noloxone.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: The brand name ofnoloxone is called Naken. Okay. This is
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a life saving medication, so it rapidly reverses the effects
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of opioid overdose if it is given in the appropriate
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: amount of time. Can be injected into the body or
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it can be administered through a nasal spray. Both are
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: super effective and basically it works by blocking the effects
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of opioids. I got bit to it in a second,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and then that restores normal breathing within two to three minutes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So you also want to pick it up relatively quickly
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: because if someone's not breathing for an extended period of time,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it's you're getting neuronal death in the brain. Okay, you're
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: causing literally death to read it in the brain if
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you're not getting oxygen after a certain point. So it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: important that you get it at the right time. Okay.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Noloxon can also be helped to like it helps people
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that are overdosing on several other drugs. Heroin is one
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: of them, not just opioidrugs. So it is safe to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: use if you suspect any type of overdose and The
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: beauty about it is that it is safe to use
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: full stop. So if somebody something's happening and they're like,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: oh fuck, are they having an overdose offentanel and you
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: give them noloxone and it wasn't fental, they're going to
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: be Okay. If you are not having an overdose and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you are administered no looxone or knock the brand name,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you will be fine. Okay, it won't hurt you. So
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it. It's safe. It has basically
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: no effect on someone who doesn't have opiods or drugs
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in their system. It cannot be used as a treatment
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: for opioid addiction, okay. It can only be used once
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the opoid is there, because it's got to knock the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: opioid out of the receptor. So it is specifically for
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: overdose purposes, and it works for about thirty to ninety minutes,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: depending on the dose. So if someone was administered no
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: loxone due to an overdose but they've taken quite a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: large amount of fentanyl, then they still need to be
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: receiving medical care. They need to be supervised because once
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that no looxone wears off, if the dose of fenttional
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: was high enough and was staying in their body for
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: long enough, they could then get another overdose after the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: ventanyl has weared off, sorry, after the noloxone has weared off.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: So this is why it's important that the moment anyone
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: has an overdose, they need medical supervision obviously. So what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: is happening. It is a competitive antagonist at the opioid receptor.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: So the opioid receptor is what I said, it's this
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: receptor on our neuron, that cell. Okay, the fentanyl molecule
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: binds to the opioid receptor, which is causing inhibition within
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the brain. So you're getting a shutdown of the breathing,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a shutdown of everything, euphoric feelings. Noloxone comes in and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it not only competes at that binding site, but it
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: knocks off that fentyl molecule. It knocks it off. Okay,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: so it competes and actually knocks it off the binding site.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: This is why it literally reverses the effects. Its fucking unbelievable.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: It doesn't activate the receptor, it just blocks the activity
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: at that receptor. So the most important thing that when
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: we're realizing here is that one. Fentanyl doesn't have this
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: bind that can't be undone. It can be undone, so
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that's really that's a plus. And then the second thing
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: is that you can take noloxone to displace the ventanyel
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: out of that and it blocks that binding site for
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the next thirty to nineteen minutes. Okay, now, nolockzone, where
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: do you get it? Just like I've looked it up.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: In Australia, no looxone is available for free under a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: program called the National Take Home Nolozone Program, so it's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: free of charge. You don't need a prescription, so over
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the counter, and you can access this at hospital based pharmacies,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: which there are heaps of them, community pharmacies, but also
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: alcohol and drug treatment centers. You can also getnlockxone over
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the counter without a prescription at regular pharmacies. Some will
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: charge a small fee and some will still be free,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: so that just depends on the independent pharmacy that you're
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: getting it from, but overall it is as accessible as
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: possible and they try to make it free without a prescription,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: over the counter to anyone that wants to access it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So I think that's really important. In the US, I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: did find some places that sell it for around the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: fifty US dollar mark, and that works for I think
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to two administrations offnloxone. But I did find that in
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: certain regions they have community program programs that can offer
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it for a reduced price, and I would imagine that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: there would probably be programs similar to Australia that may
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: offer it for free, but I can't confirm. Obviously very
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: different medical systems within Australia and the US. So yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that's fucking naloxone and fentanyl. And I think it's really
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: important to talk about this because we need to educate
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: ourselves on you know, what's going around. If you're someone
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that you know lucks, have a good time and likes
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to party, you need to educate yourself on it. Okay,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I you know, it's not about shaming, it's not about whatever.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: It's just know what's up. And if you're ever around
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you know people or a friend and you think that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: this might be happening, then you can be a little
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: bit more aware to do something about it in the moment.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: If you even if you don't have no looqueson't on hand,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you can you know, see if you could get it,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: see if someone has it or even see you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: like as far as like paramedics or whatever, and you
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: can be talking about what you think might be going on.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I just think it's super important. The more awareness we have,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: then the more help you can give to people that
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: need it. Okay, now let's go into the next part
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: of this episode, since I'm going to read the listener
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: question and then I'm going to basically delve into you
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: know how to not be scared of regretting choices that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you may or may not make. Hi, Alexis, I absolutely
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: love your podcast. I swear several of the episodes feel
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: like they're made exactly for me. Lol. I'm struggling to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: navigate my life as I've recently got out of a
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: long term relationship where I got cheated on and still
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: stayed as the naive girl I am, only for him
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: to end it ten months later anyway, due to fear
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: of long distance, which was all also the same reason
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: he ended up cheating on me. I also finished my
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: master's degree this year love that for you, and still
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten a full time job after graduating, And to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: be honest, I'm not even sure I want to work
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in this field. I think I knew already after the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: first year of UNI that it wasn't right for me,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: but I was too scared to drop out and regret it,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: so I tried to make it work by doing an
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: exchange in Australia, which ended up being the best year
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of my life and also where I met my ex.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: For the past year, I've been so focused on him
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and the relationship, trying to make things work, all while
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: going through the phases of betrayal trauma, and trying to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: rebuild my confidence and self esteem. Now that I'm alone
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: in my hometown, I feel so lost and unaware. Sorry,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I feel so lost and unsure what to do. I've
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: always wanted to study psychology and help people, and I
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: also want to move overseas again. Should I stay and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: try and get a job to start my career with
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: my current profession and buy property to invest in my
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: future and hope that I'll grow to love his career.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Or should I go back to UNI overseas and end
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: up with even more student loans in hope that I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: actually end up with a career that I love. I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: think a lot of what ifs are holding me back.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I'm scared of regretting any choice I make, and also
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that I won't make any friends if I do move
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: overseas and then feel even more lonely and like a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: failure than I already do. This is a great question. Now.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: The first thing that I want to say is a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: lot of us will make decisions based around fear, obviously,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that because that's where most
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of us come from. We don't want something bad happening.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: So I don't think you should be like I need
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to not make decisions based on fear. Fear is a
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: good wake up call. It's a good alarm for you
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to be like, all right, why am I scared? Is
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: this valid? Is this not valid? Where is this coming from?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Am I fearful because of past experiences? And I'm causing
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: me to fit? So that's fine, But right now I
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: feel like everything that you're talking about is quite fear
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: based based, fear based fear base, which is great. We
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: can see where it's coming from, we can understand why.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: But another reason why you're probably quite fearful and quite
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: hesitant is that, like you said, your emotions, your self esteem,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: your confidence is taken a bit of a blow with
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: this kind of unhealthy breakdown of this relationship that just
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: didn't end up working, which is a huge shame and
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I fucking hate that. But my advice to you, number
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: one would be if you know, and this is not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: this is to anyone, if you know that you don't
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: like the career that you're in, and you are in
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a position where you can change it. Like, for example,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: there are some people that have dependents mortgages, they can't op.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna chop and change. That's different, and the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: way you navigate that would be obviously you'd have to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: navigate it in a different way and more conservative way.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You could still do it, but it's got to be different.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: But if you which you are in a position, then
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you take that opportunity. I can tell you right now
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you fucking take the opportunity. And the reason I'm saying
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that is because you don't raise a master's degree, you
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: don't raise the undergraduate degree. Worst case scenario, you try
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: another career didn't work out, there's been a couple of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: years that went by with you not working in that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: original industry. And I can tell you for fucking free
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: that that won't even be a regret because you'd be like, Wow, Okay,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I needed to get that out of my system. Now
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I can probably return to it liking it. That's worst
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: case scenario, okay, but you never lose You never lose
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: out on. Do you know how many friends I have
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: that have degrees, degrees and honors and masters that have
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: not used that for their career directly, but it's served
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: them regardless. So it's never a complete waste. You always
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: gain skills, you always gain something. Okay, So that's number one.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I would not work in that industry. If I were you,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you might return to it if you've tried something else,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that's fine. But for you to decide, knowing what you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: know now, for you to think, nah, I'm going to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: hope that I like this career. I'm going to hope.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm presuming you're young, and even if you're not,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: but it's even easier when you are young. Knowing what
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you know now, you will kick yourself. The regret is
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: always when you didn't do the thing you thought, fuck it,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: let's just do that thing. That's where regret comes in.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I can guarantee you if you go and study psychology
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and then you think, oh, that's not right. I actually
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: think that this original thing is the right path for me.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: That's not a regret because you're able to be like,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad I got that out of my system
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and never have to think about it again. I never
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: have to be questioning into my thirties, forties, fifties, Oh
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: what if I had done psychology? That is torture. And
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that will stay with you for
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life. If you've got this desire
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and it's not being tendered to it will it will
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: niggle like a worm in your brain if you know
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you know that brain. Fact about the lady with a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: live worm in her brain, that's what it's going to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: feel like for the rest of your life. So mind
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: as to you, don't do the career that you studied in.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: It's sitting there. You can return to it at any time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Go and study psychology. Go and do it because it's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: a desire that you have. And I'm not just saying
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it because I find it fascinating. But another good reason
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: why you should study psychology is because there's so many
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: avenues that you can apply psychology to. It is such
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a broad industry. There are so many different parts that
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you can take after it and other than just being
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a clinical psychologist, which might be your thing. So I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: think that your eyes will open to the industry and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: there will be a lot of things that probably would
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: apply that you would really like and make the most
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: out of it. So go do the psychology. My question
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to you is does it have to be overseas? Do
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you have to do it? Maybe you do, Maybe you
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: live in a town where it's just not feasible, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that is fine. But I feel like you're thinking, now,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: now I want to study psychology, and now I have
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to leave the country, do you? And I'm all for travel,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I'm all for travel. But I
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: feel like maybe you're in this position where you're craving
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: stability and you're craving something that you'd love, Like I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: want to find my fucking thing, and I think psychology
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: might be it. Like I'm already my interest is peaked.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I'm ahead of so many other people right now, where
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: some people so many people don't know what they want.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I know what I want, but I'm stuck because I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: also want that stability. Is it possible to do it
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: near your hometown or in a city that you're like,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I can set some roots here. So it might be
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: in your country, in a city that you like, where
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: you'd see yourself actually settling down. Maybe not. I don't know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: because if that's possible for you, then I would do
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that and then maybe do an exchange or maybe whatever.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: But I think you're craving stability, which I think is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: an important part of everyone's life. It should not be.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I used to be like, oh, stability more, but now
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I see the intense value that stability gives me in
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: my life, and of course the need for adventure. But
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you've had this adventure, you might still want more of it,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: which as you should. But maybe the adventure is the psychology.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe the adventure is pivoting new career. I'm diving deep,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but I'm able to have more stability, lay some roots down,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: make some friendships, be in a city that I could
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: stay relatively longer, maybe in my country, if that's where
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: you want to end up. And I can really start
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to feel that this is the right decision for me,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: because from a personal standpoint, I wore as a badge
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of honor. I loved that, and I don't even know
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: if it's that I loved it, but I used to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: be proud of the fact that all my possessions fit
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: into suitcases. I never would want to buy furniture. Every
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: room that I rented like either needed to be furnished
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: or I could fit like this secondhand bed and then
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: sell it after I'd moved out. I was a bit
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of a shambles in my twenties. No regrets. But what
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is when I decided to return to Sydney
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to study, it forced me to be like, you need
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to set roots down. You can't do this degree with
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: like a suitcase full of shit. Okay, you need to
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: have your own space, a desk, a bed. You know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: you need to fucking get your life life in order
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And then I started feeling really really
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: good about my decision because I'm like, I can still
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: have adventure, I can still travel and I do I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: can still do all these things. But this has given
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: me the stability that I need. And because I've got
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: this stability while doing my version of adventure, which was
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the degree, I then felt very fulfilled. I felt very fulfilled.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I was starting a degree when I had a thriving
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: career in fitness, and I'm like, I'm going to return
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to this thing that I love, but I felt grounded.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I was really building on my friendships again in Sydney.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I was really starting to like work on this friend
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: like the friendship that you guys know that I have
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: with live Up until twenty nineteen, we were friends but
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: not best friends. We were not and the reason for
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: that was, like we met at Red Bull. We had
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a great time, always loved each other, but there was
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: like a six year period where she was living overseas,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: so we barely saw each other, and we also barely
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: spoke away, like we'd send each other something here there.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: When I lived in Parishi came to Paris and we
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: hung out. I went to London and stayed with her.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But really we want best friends. So when she then
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: moved to Sydney at the same time that I had
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: returned to Sydney, we both really invested in spending time
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: with each other and hanging out, and we both made
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: it work to the extent that we became best friends. Okay,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: so what I'm saying is you need the stability, but
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you also need that adventure. I think it's really important
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for you to kind of allow yourself to have both.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And that's where you're going to really thrive. I think
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: if you're constantly in this adventure zone, you're going to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: feel like something is missing. If you're like, I have
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to go and do the psychology degree, but I also
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: need to be in another country with no one that
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I know and all the shit, then you're not going
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the whole package. Okay, So that would be
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: my advice to you. But ultimately, when we're talking about,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you know, fear of regretting something, I always want you
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to position that thing as not what will I regret doing,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: It's what will I regret not doing? Okay, because that's
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: where our regrets come from when you do that thing.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: The amount of things I've done that ultimately felt like
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a dead end that I thought were going to be
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: good but then felt like a dead end that I
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: don't regret at all. And the reason you don't regret
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it is because at the time you're thinking, this is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: an avenue for me, This is where I can explore something.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I would much rather much rather go down a path
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and end up at a closed door than wonder for
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: the rest of my life. And I can guarantee you
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: so would you because it frees up so much mental load.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: This wondering of what could have been in my life
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: is not worth it. I'd rather explore ten thousand closed
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: doors and never have that niggling feeling of like what
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: could have been? Where could have my potential taken me?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Where I was just sitting in a safe space my
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: whole life. It's not fucking worth it. And this is
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: not why we're here on earth. We are not here
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: on earth to play it safe. Who do you know
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: that you admire that has played it so fucking safe
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the whole life? Nobody. Well, there might be a percentage
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: of you that that's your goal in life, which more
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: power to you. But for most people, especially if you're
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: someone that's listening to my podcast, probably nobody. Okay.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: The people that find their thing and find their people
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: and find their groove and their career probably had probably
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: had many different career attempts and many different career things.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Also, it's so normal to do a degree, even a master's,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and be like, oh, this is really my thing, because
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: most of us start a degree very soon after high school.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: And I can't compare who I am now versus who
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I was at eighteen years old when I finish high school. Like,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: that's a crazy comparison. The essence of me is still there,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: but so much of me has changed. So you should
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: never beat yourself up about the fact that you don't
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: have the same desires you did when you were fresh
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: out of high school. Why would you. You've evolved, you've changed,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you've lived overseas. So if you're ever in that position
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: of do I do I not? I don't know, it's
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: a decision. What will I regret not doing? Is the question? Okay,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: And always remind yourself I'd rather a closed door and
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: an answer than a niggling what if for the rest
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of my life. That what if will stay with you forever, Okay,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a big enough desire that flame doesn't die. The flame
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't die. You explore it and you either kill it,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: nip it in the barb try it didn't work. That's
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a relief. That's not a regret. It's a relief, as
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: in like, I have an answer. It's a shame, but
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I have an answer. That question. I only had to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: ask once and then I got my answer instead of asking.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Until I was in my eighties, I remember having a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: conversation with my grandmother when she was in her seventies,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: late seventies, and she told me. She goes, you know what,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to this day, to this day, I regret not going
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to nursing school with my two best friends when I
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: was like nineteen years old in Uruguay nineteen nursing school.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: She held that with her for the rest of her life.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, that's so sad, and like she's
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: in her late seventies and she always held that with her,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, fuck, And it's such an eye opener
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: because you think I never you never want to be
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in that position. She's like, I could have done nursing.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I would have loved it. Its so I would have that,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: and I never did it. And then I always thought
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it was too late. But now and she goes, and
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: now looking back, I could have done it as thirty,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I could have done it as forty, but I always
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: just thought it was too late. That is the position
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you're going to be in. It's only too late when
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: you're dead. Okay. Apart from that, go ahead and do
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: that thing. I again, closed door over wondering, closed door
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: over wondering. I want an answer over h but what if?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: What if? What if? What if? Is a cock blocker.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: It's a waste of time. It stops it from making
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a decision. He keeps you in this limbo arming and
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a ring. Do it? Do it? Okay? That is all.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Hopefully that's given you and anyone else who's in this
• 36:54
