Speaker 1 (00:12):
Okay, so let's talk about settling.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I really want to talk about settling in relationships because
I want to say something so graciously and in a classy,
respectful manner. Any time that I've left a relationship where
it doesn't feel right in my body at that time,
I later thank myself and it's gone deeper and deeper.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So it could be leaving an engagement, leaving a marriage,
it could be a number of things. But I just
want to tell you that recently I've been saying to myself,
I am so grateful for having the courage to walk
away from things that don't work for me. So that
could be work, That could be friendships. That could be
(01:04):
business deals that just crush your soul. That could be
confronting a boss or not accepting less than what you deserve.
That could be a relationship where you're just like I
am doing it's good. It could be very good. Now
if it's bad, that's not even a discussion. But it
could be good to very good. But if it doesn't
fit feel right in your body, you know, when you
(01:25):
eat something it doesn't agree with you. You may not
get violently ill, but it doesn't agree with you or
you're constantly thinking about it, you know, when you're fidgeting
in an outfit or it just like you don't love it,
so you don't live for it.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Put it the fuck down, take it off if you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
If you're not, like you have to like convince yourself
and people around you. You know, when you put something
on you like this is it game over story in
film at eleven. That's what a relationship should be like.
And if you're not feeling that now, it doesn't mean
that you're not gonna go through issues and work through things,
but like it has to be coming out of your pores.
How right a relationship is for you. You have to
(01:58):
know from the depths of your being if a relationship
is right for you, and if it's not, you cannot
stay because of fear your age, you're too old, you're
never gonna meet someone, or this person was so great,
or they treat you so well, or they're rich or
they're generous, or they're a doctor, or your parents like them,
or your friends like them, or they fit in, or
your kids are still home and they're not off at
(02:18):
college yet, or you have a good friend group and
it's gonna break up. The friend group. All of these
things do not matter. Okay if you don't know, yes,
it's no, because this is the most important part of this.
Once you jump, you fly, and then you find what
you really need. And if you are stuck in the
wrong thing, you're never gonna find the right thing, and
(02:38):
not until you find the right thing or you're gonna say,
oh my god, thank you so much for having the
courage to walk out of something that it's harder to
walk out of something that's like.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Very good because you're almost there.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But we are winners. We go all the way. We
take that ball into the end zone. We don't eat
average food mid we don't go on mid vacations. I'd
rather stay home go on a mid or shitty vacation.
I'd rather stay home than stay in a shitty room.
I don't want to go somewhere and feel grosser than
I do at home, Like I want to go somewhere
and be elevated. I don't want to eat out if
(03:09):
it's not gonna be better than but I could look
at home. I don't want that. I don't need to
go to a hip restaurant with shift food. Do it
or don't. That's part of what I was saying about
my Halloween costume. You know, like do it or don't
you going to Halloween. Let's go to the Hidi Gloon party.
Let's do it, Let's get dressed, let's turn it out,
let's have fun, and let's go home. Like that's it.
I don't want to do medium. I don't want mediocre.
I don't want mid in any category. Not food, not sex,
(03:33):
not man, not woman, not friend, not job, not travel,
not experience, not staff, not team around you. We do
all stars, we do Hall of Fame. We're not like
that tipsy demere trend. It's like we're not like the
other girlies. We don't do average. We don't do mid.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
We do elite. We do do it or don't and
do it well or don't do it at all.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So that's something that I think is really important in relationships.
I think we tend to self sabotage in relationships when
(04:20):
we're really happier, when it's going really well, when we
get scared. If you ever started dating someone and you
like them so much that you have anxiety because you
like over your skis and you're like having anxiety, you're sabotaging.
That is a dangerous place to be, and that's a
place when you have to calm down. Take several deep breaths.
Do not text anything, Do not email anything. Write an
email to yourself or to the person and put it
(04:42):
in drafts and just save it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Do not send. You need to wait six hours before.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Sending because we tend to get anxiety and want to
blow things up because they're too good. Especially if you
grow up in a fucked up house, especially if you're
used to chaos is your norm, it's going to be
very hard for you to have peace and be happy.
There also will be situations where you are incapable of
(05:08):
being loved. You are not porous, you are not open,
you're not available, and that's a hard thing to access.
And also trust yourself, because if you're not open and
porous and accessible, it may be because you're with the
wrong person. With the right person, you will want to
open up with the right person. You will want to
check yourself because you will want to do the work
(05:30):
because it's so worth it, because the stakes are so high.
Like if you meet someone that's incredible and you know
they are so well matched to you and you are
so compatible, that's when you really have to pull your
shit together, and that's when you have to check yourself.
And that's like when you're going to the Olympics, you're
preparing for the big race, you're preparing for you know,
your college entry exams or whatever. The most important thing
(05:54):
is you are not fucking around. You're not making mistakes.
You're not you know, getting drunk and doing drunk dialing
or just like you know, self destructing and doing stupid
things and saying things. You're gonna check yourself before you
wreck yourself. When you see that something is really good
for you and could really like change your life, you're
not going to fuck it up. You are going to collect,
(06:17):
get organized, be intentional, and do the work. So if
something usually when something's really good and people are really
connected and everything's great, that's when they wouldn't do therapy.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's when they think they've got it going good.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
But everything has the new car smell and little cracks
become craters. And when the car has the new car smell,
that's when you start doing the work. That's when you
get the self help book. That's when you talk to
your partner about self help. That's when you check in
with your partner that's when you do therapy on yourself
and eventually hopefully with them. I am not above if
I'm really into someone. I'm not above early on, if
(06:52):
they're in the same page, once every couple of months
talking to a therapist or once a month, because you
want to lock the door before you get robbed. And
there could be different dynamics. If you're an adult and
you have kids and you're blending, that would be a
situation where you might want to get a professional involved, okay,
because that's something that takes you know, finessing, and you
(07:13):
don't want to do damage in the beginning that you
can undo. Or if you're in a long distance relationship,
let's say, and there's certain you get in your head
and there's a certain you know, there are certain tools and.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
A skill set you need to navigate.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
That's a time when you would be proactive and intentional.
So I think it's important to make an effort and
be intentional when the stakes are high, and you know
when they're high, when you're like, wow, this could really
be it. And I know myself and I know my tendencies,
and I know my habits and I know my ways,
and I know that history repeats itself, and I know
(07:47):
that I start to get anxious attachment to someone. I
start to get anxiety. I start to get in my head.
I make up scenarios, I start to obsess, I start
to fixate. I start to get overly knee, I start
to get overly distant. I start to want to make
the other person jealous. I start to like when they're jealous.
I start to be jealous. Whatever your noise is, you
(08:09):
have it, and you keep doing it over and over.
And when you first get in the relationship, you don't
think you're going to do it over and over because
it's got the new car smell. And then all of
a sudden, one day you hit a brick wall and
you go back to your ways, and you convince yourself,
and you call your friends and your crowdsource because you
want all your friends to validate and reinforce what you're saying,
which is a terrible idea. Do not go taking advice
(08:32):
from your friends. Take advice from professionals. Or you could
have a certain friend or a colleague or someone that
you already know has excellent judgment. Doesn't always tell you
what you want to hear is going to tell you
the unpopular thing is going to be like your local
affordable therapist. That's a different model, but it's not your
friend that every day you just call it a complaint
(08:52):
and they validate everything you say, and they don't. They
just want to make you feel good, or they just
like are someone that allows you to hear yourself talk,
don't do that. There's a lot to navigate, and as
we get older, there are so many dynamics.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So I have a dating.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Theory and a relation to theory and a marriage theory,
and it might help frame things. I think that in partnerships,
one partner is a rescue dog. Well, no, that's not true.
You can have two rescue dogs together, you can have
two breeder dogs together. But I think that people are
either a breeder dog or a rescue dog. You either
grew up in the Drew Barrymore School of parenting, which
is an extreme, don't get me wrong. And I grew
(09:43):
up I went to the Drew Barrymore School of Childhood,
and or you were like in a family that was together.
And of course every family has its issues. But like
you have a safe secure attachment program, you believe that
people can have a good relationship you've witnessed good relationships,
you have some foundation, you are not a mess, and
you don't like you've seen normal constructs that other people
(10:06):
have never even witnessed, like for me, seeing like a
normal relationship in a family environment, a stable relationship, non drama,
non drugs, non abuse, non alcohol, non psychological abuse, non gambling,
you know, non underage going to night clubs like just
I've seen action. I've seen just debauchery. And so for me,
(10:29):
chaos was the norm. Action was the norm. So being
in something stable and peaceful, or seeing someone or being
with someone who's normal and stable and peaceful is strange.
It's an alien concept. It's like putting something strange into
your bloodstream that it doesn't that it rejects. So I'm
like a rescue dog because someone could do something that
(10:50):
would be normal, and I would see it as a
fight or flight. I would see it as trauma. Someone
could not text you back for thirty minutes, and I
could think the world's coming to an end, where someone
else would have a normal rational thought that like someone
might be in, you know, in an appointment, and that's
just a dumb example. But breeder dogs walk in with
secure attachment history. They've seen good relationships. They know that
(11:12):
it's possible. It's not like an island that they see
that they have no idea how to swim to. They
have faith in the process. They think they could be
in love. They know how to treat someone nicely. They
don't need for there to be action and drama and
a problem all the time. They aren't deeply anxiety ridden
in insecure. They could be insecure.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
They could be.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Jealous, but they might not have the same issues and noise.
And the thing is, if someone identifies what they are
and shares it with the other person, it can help
in the relationship because you know when someone's doing something
it has nothing to do with you. If a breeder
dog starts shaking, like I have a special needs dog, smalls,
he shakes for no reason. He's a rescue His mom
is going to be euthanized. He shakes for no reason.
(11:51):
He's a disaster. He's a mess. He has five nervous
breakdowns a day. He's scared of water, his own shadow.
He'll have two nervous breakdowns a day to start shaking
and panicking. No things happened, Like he's a fucking wreck. Okay,
Biggie is just like super well adjusted. I could bring
him on a plane. Small's tongue comes out like one
of those frogs that has like that tongue that comes
out to like get flies. I'm, you know, not a mess,
(12:13):
but like normal. I tell people I'm a squirrel. I
don't trust. So you come near me and maybe I'll
come with you to get like some of the food.
But you make a little weird move. I'm running up
that fucking tree. So like I'm like a rescue dog.
You cannot explain why a rescue dog you come near
them and they shake and they run away, or whether
they won't let you put a leash on, or whe
they won't let you give him a bath, or some
weird thing triggers them, like a treat or something.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
They're a rescue dog. They've been fucked up. They have
a fucked up child, a a fucked up past. Someone
abused them. Someone asks who hurt you? I'm like, where
do you want?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Where do I sign up for? Telling you? You want
the list who hurt me? Who didn't hurt me.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I've seen my mother got the shit beaten out of
her with a phone. I've seen people do drugs. I've
had my mother get beaten up and then heard sex
fifteen minutes later.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Crazy shit.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I've been to nightclub since I was thirteen years doing drugs,
doing everything that's wrong, everything that your kid is not
supposed to be doing. Taking the train into New York
City at fourteen years old, getting myself to fourteenth Streets,
to the Palladium, to area, to the tunnel to save
the robot.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Like, none of this is normal. I have a.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Fourteen year old in my house, Like what, So the
thing is, I'm a fucking rescue dog. So to communicate
with a partner. If I'm in a relationship with a
breeder dog, I have to let the breeder dog know
I don't act like a normal person. So understand that
one of us is going to have to be sane.
One of us has to be the rock. I'm not
the rock. I'm the fucking peacock. I'm the star. I'm entertaining,
(13:39):
I'm hilarious, I'm loyal, I'll be good to you, I'll
do everything for you. I am the most fun person
you've ever met. No two days will ever be the same.
You will have a life of laughter and excitement, and
adventure and joy and fucking ride or die, and loyalty
and hard work, and you will learn things you never learn.
No one's ever been more efficient.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
No one's ever been or like. I am highly functional,
I am super organized. I can get ten things done
to your one. I will always be ahead of you, smarter, faster, quicker.
But I'm a fucking disaster. So you need to know
that you're gonna have to be the rational saying rock here.
So do you want that job or don't you? And
also you have to be interesting, because you can't be
(14:20):
a fucking boring doormat. That's gonna be the rock. You
have to be fun and ready to go. So know
if you're the rescue dog or the breeder dog, communicate
about it. And two rescue dogs can be together, and
a rescue dog and a breeder dog can be together.
But you just have to communicate. It's an important thing.
And you know who you are. Maybe you're right down
(14:41):
the middle, Maybe you're a part maybe you're a mixed breed,
you're part rescue, part reader. I don't think you can
be part breader, part rescue. But I once did get
a dog from It was like a rescue dog, but
I got it from like a rescue dog store, so
it was like safe, but it wasn't a purebred, so
you decide for yourself. You are welcome, have a great day.
Okay, so let's talk about settling.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I really want to talk about settling in relationships because
I want to say something so graciously and in a classy,
respectful manner. Any time that I've left a relationship where
it doesn't feel right in my body at that time,
I later thank myself and it's gone deeper and deeper.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
So it could be leaving an engagement, leaving a marriage,
it could be a number of things. But I just
want to tell you that recently I've been saying to myself,
I am so grateful for having the courage to walk
away from things that don't work for me. So that
could be work, That could be friendships. That could be
(01:04):
business deals that just crush your soul. That could be
confronting a boss or not accepting less than what you deserve.
That could be a relationship where you're just like I
am doing it's good. It could be very good. Now
if it's bad, that's not even a discussion. But it
could be good to very good. But if it doesn't
fit feel right in your body, you know, when you
(01:25):
eat something it doesn't agree with you. You may not
get violently ill, but it doesn't agree with you or
you're constantly thinking about it, you know, when you're fidgeting
in an outfit or it just like you don't love it,
so you don't live for it.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Put it the fuck down, take it off if you don't.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
If you're not, like you have to like convince yourself
and people around you. You know, when you put something
on you like this is it game over story in
film at eleven. That's what a relationship should be like.
And if you're not feeling that now, it doesn't mean
that you're not gonna go through issues and work through things,
but like it has to be coming out of your pores.
How right a relationship is for you. You have to
(01:58):
know from the depths of your being if a relationship
is right for you, and if it's not, you cannot
stay because of fear your age, you're too old, you're
never gonna meet someone, or this person was so great,
or they treat you so well, or they're rich or
they're generous, or they're a doctor, or your parents like them,
or your friends like them, or they fit in, or
your kids are still home and they're not off at
(02:18):
college yet, or you have a good friend group and
it's gonna break up. The friend group. All of these
things do not matter. Okay if you don't know, yes,
it's no, because this is the most important part of this.
Once you jump, you fly, and then you find what
you really need. And if you are stuck in the
wrong thing, you're never gonna find the right thing, and
(02:38):
not until you find the right thing or you're gonna say,
oh my god, thank you so much for having the
courage to walk out of something that it's harder to
walk out of something that's like.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Very good because you're almost there.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But we are winners. We go all the way. We
take that ball into the end zone. We don't eat
average food mid we don't go on mid vacations. I'd
rather stay home go on a mid or shitty vacation.
I'd rather stay home than stay in a shitty room.
I don't want to go somewhere and feel grosser than
I do at home, Like I want to go somewhere
and be elevated. I don't want to eat out if
(03:09):
it's not gonna be better than but I could look

go to a hip restaurant with shift food. Do it
or don't. That's part of what I was saying about

I don't want to do medium. I don't want mediocre.
I don't want mid in any category. Not food, not sex,
(03:33):
not man, not woman, not friend, not job, not travel,
not experience, not staff, not team around you. We do
all stars, we do Hall of Fame. We're not like
that tipsy demere trend. It's like we're not like the
other girlies. We don't do average. We don't do mid.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
We do elite. We do do it or don't and
do it well or don't do it at all.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So that's something that I think is really important in relationships.
I think we tend to self sabotage in relationships when
(04:20):
we're really happier, when it's going really well, when we
get scared. If you ever started dating someone and you
like them so much that you have anxiety because you
like over your skis and you're like having anxiety, you're sabotaging.
That is a dangerous place to be, and that's a
place when you have to calm down. Take several deep breaths.
Do not text anything, Do not email anything. Write an
email to yourself or to the person and put it
(04:42):
in drafts and just save it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Do not send. You need to wait six hours before.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Sending because we tend to get anxiety and want to
blow things up because they're too good. Especially if you
grow up in a fucked up house, especially if you're
used to chaos is your norm, it's going to be
very hard for you to have peace and be happy.
There also will be situations where you are incapable of
(05:08):
being loved. You are not porous, you are not open,
you're not available, and that's a hard thing to access.
And also trust yourself, because if you're not open and
porous and accessible, it may be because you're with the
wrong person. With the right person, you will want to
open up with the right person. You will want to
check yourself because you will want to do the work
(05:30):
because it's so worth it, because the stakes are so high.
Like if you meet someone that's incredible and you know
they are so well matched to you and you are
so compatible, that's when you really have to pull your
shit together, and that's when you have to check yourself.
And that's like when you're going to the Olympics, you're

your college entry exams or whatever. The most important thing

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Theory and a relation to theory and a marriage theory,
and it might help frame things. I think that in partnerships,
one partner is a rescue dog. Well, no, that's not true.
You can have two rescue dogs together, you can have
two breeder dogs together. But I think that people are
either a breeder dog or a rescue dog. You either
grew up in the Drew Barrymore School of parenting, which
is an extreme, don't get me wrong. And I grew
(09:43):
up I went to the Drew Barrymore School of Childhood,
and or you were like in a family that was together.
And of course every family has its issues. But like
you have a safe secure attachment program, you believe that
people can have a good relationship you've witnessed good relationships,
you have some foundation, you are not a mess, and
you don't like you've seen normal constructs that other people
(10:06):
have never even witnessed, like for me, seeing like a
normal relationship in a family environment, a stable relationship, non drama,
non drugs, non abuse, non alcohol, non psychological abuse, non gambling,
you know, non underage going to night clubs like just
I've seen action. I've seen just debauchery. And so for me,
(10:29):
chaos was the norm. Action was the norm. So being
in something stable and peaceful, or seeing someone or being
with someone who's normal and stable and peaceful is strange.
It's an alien concept. It's like putting something strange into
your bloodstream that it doesn't that it rejects. So I'm
like a rescue dog because someone could do something that
(10:50):
would be normal, and I would see it as a
fight or flight. I would see it as trauma. Someone
could not text you back for thirty minutes, and I
could think the world's coming to an end, where someone
else would have a normal rational thought that like someone
might be in, you know, in an appointment, and that's
just a dumb example. But breeder dogs walk in with
secure attachment history. They've seen good relationships. They know that
(11:12):
it's possible. It's not like an island that they see
that they have no idea how to swim to. They
have faith in the process. They think they could be
in love. They know how to treat someone nicely. They
don't need for there to be action and drama and
a problem all the time. They aren't deeply anxiety ridden
in insecure. They could be insecure.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
They could be.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Jealous, but they might not have the same issues and noise.
And the thing is, if someone identifies what they are
and shares it with the other person, it can help
in the relationship because you know when someone's doing something
it has nothing to do with you. If a breeder
dog starts shaking, like I have a special needs dog, smalls,
he shakes for no reason. He's a rescue His mom
is going to be euthanized. He shakes for no reason.
(11:51):
He's a disaster. He's a mess. He has five nervous
breakdowns a day. He's scared of water, his own shadow.
He'll have two nervous breakdowns a day to start shaking
and panicking. No things happened, Like he's a fucking wreck. Okay,
Biggie is just like super well adjusted. I could bring
him on a plane. Small's tongue comes out like one
of those frogs that has like that tongue that comes
out to like get flies. I'm, you know, not a mess,
(12:13):
but like normal. I tell people I'm a squirrel. I
don't trust. So you come near me and maybe I'll
come with you to get like some of the food.
But you make a little weird move. I'm running up
that fucking tree. So like I'm like a rescue dog.
You cannot explain why a rescue dog you come near
them and they shake and they run away, or whether
they won't let you put a leash on, or whe
they won't let you give him a bath, or some
weird thing triggers them, like a treat or something.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
They're a rescue dog. They've been fucked up. They have
a fucked up child, a a fucked up past. Someone
abused them. Someone asks who hurt you? I'm like, where
do you want?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Where do I sign up for? Telling you? You want
the list who hurt me? Who didn't hurt me.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I've seen my mother got the shit beaten out of
her with a phone. I've seen people do drugs. I've
had my mother get beaten up and then heard sex
fifteen minutes later.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Crazy shit.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I've been to nightclub since I was thirteen years doing drugs,
doing everything that's wrong, everything that your kid is not
supposed to be doing. Taking the train into New York
City at fourteen years old, getting myself to fourteenth Streets,
to the Palladium, to area, to the tunnel to save
the robot.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Like, none of this is normal. I have a.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Fourteen year old in my house, Like what, So the
thing is, I'm a fucking rescue dog. So to communicate
with a partner. If I'm in a relationship with a
breeder dog, I have to let the breeder dog know
I don't act like a normal person. So understand that
one of us is going to have to be sane.
One of us has to be the rock. I'm not
the rock. I'm the fucking peacock. I'm the star. I'm entertaining,
(13:39):
I'm hilarious, I'm loyal, I'll be good to you, I'll
do everything for you. I am the most fun person
you've ever met. No two days will ever be the same.
You will have a life of laughter and excitement, and
adventure and joy and fucking ride or die, and loyalty
and hard work, and you will learn things you never learn.
No one's ever been more efficient.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
No one's ever been or like. I am highly functional,
I am super organized. I can get ten things done
to your one. I will always be ahead of you, smarter, faster, quicker.
But I'm a fucking disaster. So you need to know
that you're gonna have to be the rational saying rock here.
So do you want that job or don't you? And
also you have to be interesting, because you can't be
(14:20):
a fucking boring doormat. That's gonna be the rock. You
have to be fun and ready to go. So know
if you're the rescue dog or the breeder dog, communicate
about it. And two rescue dogs can be together, and
a rescue dog and a breeder dog can be together.
But you just have to communicate. It's an important thing.
And you know who you are. Maybe you're right down
(14:41):
the middle, Maybe you're a part maybe you're a mixed breed,
you're part rescue, part reader. I don't think you can
be part breader, part rescue. But I once did get
a dog from It was like a rescue dog, but
I got it from like a rescue dog store, so
it was like safe, but it wasn't a purebred, so
you decide for yourself. You are welcome, have a great day.
