6:48
SPEAKER_02: And do you feel like it takes a lot of confidence to put yourself out there.
6:53
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
6:53
SPEAKER_02: It uh I maybe confidence isn't the word it's too we're talking about delusion yeah you gotta feel like that's to you Rami girl you do kind of have to be a little delusional to in this business but I think that's so good because people that come here with a dream or people that didn't start out doing this and found it like you gotta play all in.
7:15
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely you know growing up I was always one of those things that people are like oh you know professional sports or whatever like good luck you got to play right yeah right and so what'd you play?
7:25
SPEAKER_02: What sport?
7:25
SPEAKER_01: I did gymnastics for 10 years and then I did that like elite and almost well almost elite and whatever I stopped and then I chewed a person.
7:33
SPEAKER_01: Right.
7:33
SPEAKER_01: And so um yeah my body is pieced together.
7:38
SPEAKER_02: I know me too.
7:40
SPEAKER_02: We're going backwards in age though all of my friends go backwards in age.
7:44
SPEAKER_02: Don't worry you now someday you and I are gonna be celebrating our 12th birthday together.
7:48
SPEAKER_02: And we're gonna be like yes we are no we can't go under 21 because we want to be able to get a drink together.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah so when are you releasing do you have any idea I am looking at May for the release of Just My Luck and it's Just My Luck on St.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: Patty's Day yesterday it's very Barn burner very fast paced song like my poor drummer and poor freaking weapons out of it play so fast.
8:12
SPEAKER_01: That's their job girl that's their job I know it's a very fun song though so that's what we're looking at May and then maybe like every six to eight weeks we're kind of just seeing how we how we feel right now.
8:21
SPEAKER_02: I mean it cracks me up like it doesn't crack me up but like to me as somebody who who doesn't have to create something and drop it in six weeks like that artists get in the rhythm of dropping every six weeks.
8:34
SPEAKER_02: I don't even think I like wipe my basebords every six weeks very good chance I have adjusted my I am that's so funny Rusty's watching right now I am I I'm definitely one of those people that like I can't go to my office and think if the shit around me is not I can't like and it seems so ridiculous right because my but I like unless my desk is clean unless the house is clean.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: But like my regular are there certain things for you like what what are you bad about?
9:03
SPEAKER_01: Are you bad about laundry or dishes or anything?
9:05
SPEAKER_02: I'm bad about I laundry I'm cool with doing it's putting it away okay like that shit could sit there but that's clean to me I'll like have it sit there right it's like literally like right I'm like it's not dirt but if it was up to me but now like the quality of life it's like I wasn't meant to wipe windowsills every week of my life.
9:23
SPEAKER_02: But I think we all have that one thing because you know and I'm like that with dinner like I like to get dinner started during the day in between clients.
9:31
SPEAKER_02: I like that so that when my my other half my better half comes home we can sit down together.
9:38
SPEAKER_02: That's really cool too because to make that space for somebody when you're as well totally and you know we are like we love music and we dance in the kitchen and I feel like life goes so fast that if you don't create these moments you know Gage and I did a whole course on scheduling joy and these moments and I think that that's what disconnects a lot of couples you know is he's living his world and I'm living and I don't ever want that to be right you know have different worlds for sure but oh totally he's not a generator for God's sakes.
10:11
SPEAKER_02: I mean he's got a big boy job yeah a big a real job that's what I say I'm like he's got a real job if you get a paycheck regularly you have a real job.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: I know I was laughing because anything that like I ever bought when I was married in terms of like houses or whatever I was like yeah you can refer to the W-2 guy.
10:26
SPEAKER_02: Right I'm not the one right exactly um but you know when you grow into who you're supposed to be you know I got married young and and I have a very good relationship with my ex-husband but yeah totally I I actually like have a lot more respect for him now than they did you know but I mean he was he's a doctor a surgeon and he was building medical practices and you know I was like the sole caregiver of my daughter and and you know resentment comes in but like now to watch him win is making my heart happy.
10:55
SPEAKER_02: You know what I love that because most people do not have that you know what I tell him I want you to win I want you to win.
11:00
SPEAKER_02: I think I want the best for you.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: I totally want the best for you can't exist at once I I feel like I mean small town you kind of have to either be like kind of cordial with me we're not but my ex lives here too and he's honestly the one who funded and started my music.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: It's beautiful.
11:17
SPEAKER_01: And so hopefully one day I can write him a check that's right that's right um he had a lot of support to do with that and so I look at a lot of this and even though we're not together anymore yeah he's one of my biggest cheerleaders like I know in my heart that he would never let me fall like I know he would like he would do right and I do wish him a beautiful life I tell him all the time I go get out there and have a beautiful life.
11:38
SPEAKER_02: You know he worked so hard before and I'm like it's your time to sit back and enjoy it.
11:42
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely you know that's really cool and that's cool that you're still like yeah we are we're tight he's a good guy and and um he's a better friend than he was a husband but I mean I also have to you know different times we go through different seasons like I'm not the same person I was then either how old were you when you got married?
11:59
SPEAKER_02: Oh like sh maybe 26 yeah um young but I mean he was starting a residency program which is you know being married for all of you who think it's good to marry a doctor please know they don't have any money for a long time takes a lot they gotta pay back all that money and then it's gonna take a little bit like don't think you're marrying into greatness because that's not what's happening.
12:20
SPEAKER_02: But he's always been a really hard worker and he's always been an amazing provider and he's always been really good to my daughter.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: So I guess those are the things.
12:28
SPEAKER_00: Would you ever get married again?
12:29
SPEAKER_01: You know I'm well we're getting very cursed.
12:31
SPEAKER_01: You know what I love it though because this is the kind of thing that I look for when I'm listening to an artist do an interview is I want like the real the real things.
12:37
SPEAKER_01: I can find a lot of stuff on the internet.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: I think that for a while I was really hardened towards it because I was like oh it's so hard to get out of it's so easy to get into and it's so true statement.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: It is such a true statement.
12:48
SPEAKER_01: But I I don't think that I think that if the opportunity came right yeah of course yeah I mean I think it's just you know I was in a spot in my life where I really just wasn't even looking for it.
13:01
SPEAKER_02: You know I was kind of trying to piece my own identity back and and fill myself with knowledge so I could go to the one thing I always wanted to do was help change people's lives.
13:12
SPEAKER_02: In even the smallest way.
13:14
SPEAKER_02: That's all I wanted to do for no one to ever feel as small as I felt like I really wanted to help people.
13:20
SPEAKER_02: So I think you know you go the universe brings people in there for a reason and the reason is and when I tell you now this is becoming about me I'm so sorry because I love you so much.
13:33
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh please girl I have a beautiful life I can tell you can tell like you're fulfilled like thank you so much it's like I I think we search so hard for just peace you know like and it's different it looks different to everybody but like this is the first time in my life that I finally feel at home.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: I love it.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: In all in in my childhood and everything I honestly that's a good so it's really good like don't ever and I I was the girl too like married again there's no way in hell it's it's hard not to feel that way right after it is because no matter if even if it's an okay split and you're amicable split when it's a trial it was like OJ Simpson there was like lawyer.
14:16
SPEAKER_02: Oh my goodness I know it was nuts but you know it all brings us back to who we are right now.
14:23
SPEAKER_02: And like looking back I well I mean I would have changed the 20 lawyer thing but um looking back now I I wish we could have sat down like adults and not wasted all that money.
14:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:34
SPEAKER_02: Because all we did was make somebody else money.
14:36
SPEAKER_01: That's a very good point.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: It really is that is a good point.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: You know it's really hard though in the moment like to have a clear head like you're always influenced by something.
14:45
SPEAKER_01: Oh I am really grateful to like at the end of it I I did go to marriage counseling and I know we're saying whatever right now but I I learned so much from that because it was individual more than it was like we did it in a group with five couples that was some crazy stuff.
15:01
SPEAKER_02: I bet dude don't you want to be the therapist in that way that's amazing.
15:06
SPEAKER_02: But it was it was really I work with a lot of you totally do about yourself.
15:11
SPEAKER_02: You do and I think the biggest thing I teach people is that once communication breaks down nobody feels heard.
15:18
SPEAKER_02: That's right and then we start going outside the marriage like he's the blah blah and it goes back and forth and there is no it does.
15:26
SPEAKER_02: Alright I'm gonna brag about Rusty for one second.
15:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah go for it go for it when I first met him you know I was like I'm I'm doing things you know I have a lot of good friends I was headed back to Texas and um I remember very early on when we were dating he's a saint by the way I can't wait for you to meet him we'll go have dinner next time we're down there um he's great you're gonna love him so he was he's a whole different life he's a biomedical engineer he puts pacemakers in everybody all day that's like water off a duck like he never seems dressed totally right laid rightly we need people right let me tell you something my first I saw 67 people today I'm like that's what you signed up for sir.
16:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah you chose your career you big your career right but one night when we it was like early on when we weren't like living together or anything and he was like he said he was tired because he's good to work he goes to bed super early like eight o'clock it's like it's like living with a toddler it's crazy but I know he needs the rest right I wouldn't want somebody putting their hands in my heart that we didn't know what they were doing.
16:26
SPEAKER_02: And he said before we go to bed I just is there any unfinished thoughts like do you have anything you feel like you need to tell me because I don't want to go to bed and you not feel heard wow bam mic drop moment right and Chandler in my life that's the first time anybody I never nobody ever told me they were proud of me.
16:49
SPEAKER_01: Oh what a sweet spot I know and I was like damn we feel like your feminine part can come out too totally because I was holding so I spent my whole life trying to prove something that person and the relationship right and that's that that peace and that safety of feeling and that's when you really come out totally like you don't even know like and I'm I'm like I've been here two days and I'm homesick.
17:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah and I was this independent that's how that's how it should be though and that's you know it it just you just have to you just have to go with what you feel totally my ex-husband was a um computer software engineer so very much in the same direction smart dudes though I can tell you like really smart and that's really cool yeah that's really cool and I teach couples that now like it is so easy for someone to feel unheard and unseen.
17:42
SPEAKER_02: And I just teach couples I'm like here's a ball or this whatever and it's 10 minutes and you're gonna talk from your heart and they're not gonna judge you they're not gonna interrupt you they're not gonna look at you strange it's your time to be heard and then pass it over.
17:54
SPEAKER_02: And I think that works in like every ounce of life.
17:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah because people want to feel important they want to feel heard they want to feel like loved.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: Right they do right because it's so easy to get and for you guys especially to get in the grind of doing this absolutely that we forget like that people are human all day every day.
18:13
SPEAKER_02: All day every day and we all feel the same way.
18:16
SPEAKER_02: You know right we're all I tell my clients that too because I'm like they're like oh I'm like we're all just trying to get by yeah whether it's just disguising mechanism or what?
18:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah right but we're all just trying to what's serious is my sarcasm for sure.
18:30
SPEAKER_01: Oh girl you don't even know I literally it's same same there is a there's a theme in these seven songs too that is just like all I played with the idea I haven't come up with a name for it yet but I was coming up with rock bottom sarcasm because that's where my life is I love that.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: And all of them are kind of like you've got this ounce of sarcasm throughout it.
18:50
SPEAKER_02: Kind of likes to put that stuff at you yeah yeah yeah yeah and so uh but I was curious how you deal with your I definitely am like you have to laugh I can't oh my god everything's like a joke I literally it's it's literally everything I'm like oh my god this cannot I don't take life seriously anymore I think because I was so you know when you live with a very driven man who the numbers mean everything you're on edge you know but like now I'm like I don't I don't care we haven't matter we're gonna be we've made it through worse shit than this and when you learn to live from like a place of gratitude as opposed to a place of stress and and worrying about lack and everything else you're gonna worry about it twice.
19:36
SPEAKER_02: Amen ultimately right and most times it's not even gonna damn well happen and then you've just wasted all that time when you could have been doing something really cool like having drinks with Debbie we could be having drinks with Deb.
19:49
SPEAKER_01: It is so true.
19:50
SPEAKER_01: You're so so right about that and by the way anytime camera or without cameras Oh I know I literally was gonna I said to Belle I'm like are we getting together this week when yeah I was about to say I'll ask you totally yeah I'm in I'm in town till Saturday morning.
