can opener? Why is my can opener in here?

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So you're telling me when you lay down you don't
feel none of these crumbs on your body?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Is that a huge hill?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I don't know who you got that being nasty from,
but you need to take it back.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And you got to always.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Want some company. If I was on your friends, I
wouldn't want to come over here. It stinks in here. Another.
You got shoes everywhere?

Speaker 1 (00:48):

Boy boy with that with that teenage son? Oh my god?
What all right, y'all? And this Morning?

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Are we about to get real open and intimate back
with This Morning is a television personality author, relationship expert,
and certifying sex and intimacy coach. She is a master
of all things love and sex related.

Speaker 6 (01:21):
Y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Please welcome tannes See, Gilbour, Ladies and jail.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Hey everybody, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah, happy to have you and happy to be here.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah, today we're talking about dating during the holidays.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Is it too late for matching pajamas?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Like? Okay, no, I'm such a hopeless romantic. I love
that corny stuff like matching pajamas are everything. So I
even think that if you've established some exclusivity into your
relationships and you start talking about, you know, things that
make you feel warm and fuzzy, and you want to.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Get matching pajamas, absolutely, I.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Probably wouldn't post them yet until you know, because that's
when you get in trouble when you post prematurely.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But I love matching pajamas his own. Okay, Well, I
got a question.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
What can singles do to stay motivated when they feel
like everybody else is booed up for the holidays.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Great question, Brad.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
So here's the thing that I want singles to know, Like,
being partner doesn't guarantee happiness. Like there's plenty of people
and plenty of couples that you know, post those matching
pajamas and do all the things on social media, and
then they go home and there's so much space in
between them and that bed that.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
They don't even touch each other.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
So I don't want people to get get you know,
caught up in that. So I think that they should
just kind of focus on building the life that you
enjoy and not rushing into one. Like, so being single
isn't about being single is not a punishment.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's like preparation.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh I like that.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, being single is not a punishment, it's preparation.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
That's a word. Okay, So how can singles said boundaries
with families?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Especially during Thanksgiving? Who keep asking, so when you're bringing somebody.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Home, when you're gonna get married, when y'all.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Gonna have key blah blah blah blahh.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, it's you know, Aunt Lula may stops please stop right.
So my response would be like keep it light, keep
it firm, though, you know, and just so I'm not
rushing into love. I'm choosing well, you know, and when
somebody adds some value in peace into my life, I'll
introduce you.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
But Aunt Lula May, how are you Uncle David doing?

Speaker 7 (03:32):
Right?

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Up?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Because and here's the thing, I'm not looking for someone.
I'm choosing someone.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh that's nice, because that show will put you on
the spot holiday wait.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
And being messy.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
And what happens is singles dread coming over to Thanksgiving
dinner and the holidays. They dread that because of those
dreadful questions like stop it because.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
You know, or somebody who's already engaged and just taking
a time or whatever.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
You know, we know having kids that is so insulting,
like don't do that to me.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
So trying to So, what are three fun things honey,
singles can do this season to feel empowered not discouraged,
especially if dating hasn't been working out.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I love this, So I would say one create like
a personal holiday bucket list of all the things that
you want to experience this holiday that you want to experience,
not you and a partner, because it's just you right now.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Host as singles only, like brunch a game night.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
So those singles events, you can have one at your
house and it asks them to bring somebody that single,
so make it co ed and have them bring. You
can get in when you bring somebody else that's also single,
and just you know, practice intentional flirting. So eye contact, smiles, compliments,
get out of the house. I want you to go
to every single holiday party that you're invited to if

(04:55):
you can.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
And start smiling at the start. Now you see us,

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Hut us up right now, man, All right, y'all, we're.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
Talking about sex, love and relationships with Relationship expert tnayil
on what this morning.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
We're so happy.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I have knowing you for like over ten years?

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Yeah, next week I had, right, But then when you
start meeting other people that's actually the name Tana, and
you meet so many different people that pronounce their name
in a different way, you just get get confused.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
It's all good, keep it going, rich Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, ton of shop at the douglas Ville Mom.
So define sex intimacy coach and we're taking your courses.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Get out us eight sixty six nine, Ricky, good morning.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
My question is if you're a devoted, a new and
upcoming entrepreneur and you're so driven and your mate they
just don't seem to have that drive. They got everything else,
you know, in common with you and help you out
and everything, but they don't have the drive at all,

(08:43):
you know. So I'm just wondering what to do about
it because I feel like, you know, losing interest because
they just don't have the drive.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Oh, great question. So it depends on what you require
from your mate. So that may not be who he
is or who that person is. And so if you
require somebody that's an ambitious and to support you and
to help you, you may be able to get that
from other sources, other friends, other entrepreneurs that will help
you fuel your business. But if you're expecting your mate
to be able to fuel you, you have to have

(09:13):
a conversation to see if that's even who they are,
and it sounds like it is not who he is
or who they are. So I would just recommend that
you make a decision does this work for you or not?
Because if you're losing interest, it's really not their responsibility
to fuel your motivation.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
And your business.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
It's not all right, y'all the time to give them more?
Good morning?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
How long after you separate from your spouse do you
suppose to wait? Okay, so how long do you separate
from your spouse? Are you supposed to wait for what
I'm assuming a wait to start dating again?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
So I would say no, I don't subscribe to that.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Some people they separate, But here's the thing, their emotion
disconnected for months or even years before they even sign
a paper or anything. So I really don't put a
time frame on it. It's when you are healed from
that relationship and you're not pondering, you're not thinking about them.
You can actually wish them well like all those things.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Can you tell us that she said she wants space,
gone hit Kingdom, Damonds, get your mind that night right?
Then let them get your lap, donce and you and
you'll be straight and the Lord gonna take risk.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Good morning, Thank you for calling.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Yes, I have a question. I have my children's father.
We've been in a relationship for like eight years and
he has not done what he promised he was going
to do, and I am ready to end a relationship.
But I'm scared that when I do, he is going
to be you know, he's gonna stop doing a little
bit that he does do, and I don't know how
to bring it up with'sout of being you know, messy

(10:55):
mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
So here's what I'm gonna tell you. Can't operate in
fear right.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
You have to do what's best for you and your children,
and the little that he's doing it's probably not enough anyway,
So you can find other resources to be able to
support your family. And is that what you want? Is
that the person that you want in your life to
be around you and your children. So I would say
if it were me, I would sacrifice whatever little he's

(11:20):
doing in preparation that somebody else will come along and
pick up the slack, or you'll provide You'll have a
way to provide it and support them on your own.
Because what he's given you is bread crumbs. It's so
not worth it. Your happiness and your peace is worth
more than the bread crumbs that he's given you.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
I'm gonna tell y'all some a no relationship expert, but
I do know this. Sometimes God will not bless you
with new furniture if your house ain't clean, and sometimes
you got to make room because even if God gave
you every single thing that you won't and desire, and
when you got bad energy in your house, you would
not be able to enjoy it anywhere. Get rid of

(12:02):
you know what I'm saying that man, when man, man,
when you clean house and you cleared out, I'll cap
you have to go move in a one bedroom with
an air mattress.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
At least you happy and got peace.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
And I got a friend of a list celebrity, And
I'll never forget the night I set out in in
his driveway in front of his house forty five minutes
because he did not want to go in that damn
house because he knew there wasn't no peace in that house.
And I indeed it myself sat out there in the
damn car because.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
You don't want to go in to what you work hard.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Man.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Listen, God got bigger and better things, man, but you
got to let go. Okay, so let's go to the
next call. Good morning, No, yeah, yeah, yeah, what you're doing? Hey, hey,
drop some pictures in that DM Yeah yeah, but you

(12:57):
