1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040
Hey guys, welcome chatters back 
to another episode. 

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,360
Great to have you here. 
Welcome. 

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,960
Before we get started, actually,
I wanted to say to you guys, we 

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,880
sent you an email. 
So please check your emails. 

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,880
There's a survey in there. 
Just we want to be hearing from 

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,800
you about what we can do in 
these in these chatter episodes.

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,520
What are you actually here for? 
What would you like to get? 

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,600
We want to grow, we want to do 
better. 

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,880
We want to meet you where you're
at, so please check your emails.

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Yeah. 
And get back to go into that 

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,200
survey. 
That'd be amazed. 

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,720
Balls. 
Yeah, it would be so good. 

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,680
Thank you. 
It might be in your spam. 

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,000
That's one little know how I 
realised. 

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Yeah, because our email address 
is maybe looks a little bit 

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,720
weird to. 
Yeah, some email inboxes to 

17
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,440
check your spam if you haven't 
seen it come in yet. 

18
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
I might actually put another 

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,840
message up on our Patreon board 
anyway. 

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,240
But most people don't check 
Patreon. 

21
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,800
That's The thing is we they're 
usually check it like listen to 

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,880
these episodes on Spotify or 
YouTube. 

23
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,040
So anyway, but that's fine. 
I'll put it up there and see 

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,040
where we go. 
We could look at exploring a 

25
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,239
different communication platform
for people that come on as 

26
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,120
chatters, like a WhatsApp group 
or something like that. 

27
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,280
Yeah, that's a good point for 
just discussions about the 

28
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,440
episodes and reflections. 
On it, yeah. 

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,520
Anyway, we want to hear that 
from you because if you don't 

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960
want that then we don't want to 
do that we want to put things in

31
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,480
place that you do want so let us
know get onto that. 

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,480
That'd be awesome anyway, on 
this episode we are going to be.

33
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,520
If you listen to the full 
episode, Amy ran us through a 

34
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,040
reality check corner. 
Now, this is something that 

35
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360
we've really wanted to put into 
practise here that we don't just

36
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,640
come and share things or just 
bring information. 

37
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,920
We actually want to be doing a 
lot of these exercises with you 

38
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,080
on these chatter episodes. 
So we're going to be doing that 

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,280
a lot today. 
And we brought up three 

40
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,400
different areas of the reality 
check corner and this is 

41
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,440
something we want to do semi 
regularly as well. 

42
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040
And so again, feedback, if this 
is something that was helpful 

43
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,080
for you, we'd love to do that. 
But also we'd love for you to 

44
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,160
write into like if you've sat 
down and gone through these 

45
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640
things, send them to us. 
It can be anonymous, that's 

46
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,800
fine. 
Like we won't share that with 

47
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,240
anyone if you don't want us to. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

48
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,000
We just want to be seeing what 
you're doing and Bunny is just. 

49
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Funny what is going? 
On the action. 

50
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,680
She's just like nudging me with 
her nose. 

51
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,000
I'm wondering if she needs to go
outside. 

52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,320
OK. 
Well I think she just wants 

53
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,480
cuddles. 
OK, fun. 

54
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,560
So we're gonna dive right into 
it. 

55
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,240
So the first one in our reality 
check questions here or 

56
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,320
challenges was no, you can't hop
up on the that's the first 

57
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160
challenge is doing a recording a
golden retriever. 

58
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,040
The first one is the reflection 
prompt. 

59
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,640
OK, so just reading these notes 
that we had here from the full, 

60
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,240
full episode, think about your 
last three disagreements. 

61
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,240
What's the common denominator in
all of them? 

62
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
What's the one thing you 
personally do that keeps them 

63
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,320
loop these loops alive? 
Sit with that for a second. 

64
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,360
So I'm going to start because I,
I reflected on this in just 

65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,040
before and I reckon my 3:00 and 
it's it's hard to put like a top

66
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,000
three. 
I just did three, right? 

67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,200
So because I feel like I had 
more than three, So I just. 

68
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,120
You talking about the last three
disagreements? 

69
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,840
What maybe that's what I did. 
Yeah, okay, I, I tried to look 

70
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,200
through, I read that has three 
disagreements and like what's 3 

71
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,520
denominators? 
But I don't know why I just read

72
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,920
that differently. 
But anyway, I come up with 

73
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,440
three, I come up with three 
different things. 

74
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,800
I'm going to say it anyway. 
Maybe that's one of that common 

75
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,720
denominators is not looking for.
No. 

76
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,640
That's mine. 
But I was gonna say them anyway,

77
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:36,160
'cause now I'm, I'm prepped for 
this part is first one is pride 

78
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,080
or defensiveness. 
First one is defensiveness. 

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Second one is I don't actually 
remember now, so lucky it didn't

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,000
work that way. 
Third one was, how do you say 

81
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440
it? 
Like was unmet expectations or 

82
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960
unrealistic expectations. 
So I would come to a like, I've,

83
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,360
I've done this to you a couple 
of times where I'll be like, 

84
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840
I'll, I'll be speaking to you 
and you brought it up in the 

85
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,920
full episode actually, about how
like you're working on something

86
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,520
and you expect your partner to 
work on it. 

87
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Like the phone thing, right? 
The phone thing is an example. 

88
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320
I've done that to you a couple 
of times where I, it might be 

89
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,880
the phone thing, like social 
media, Like I've turned off most

90
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960
of my social media on my phone. 
I don't really have social media

91
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,399
on my phone. 
I look over at you, I'm like 

92
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,959
what you saw on social media, 
you know, I gotta have these 

93
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,760
specific expectations that are 
realistic. 

94
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,800
Like it's my thing that I'm 
working on and I've got the same

95
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,360
expectation for you, but you're 
a different journey on different

96
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,200
things. 
So that's my things. 

97
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,440
And I think so both of those 
though, or all of them really 

98
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,200
come down to I'm internally 
having a conversation for the 

99
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,440
pride, I mean, or I'm for the 
pride. 

100
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,640
I'm kind of like, I might be. 
So it's for the defensiveness 

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,040
might be out of I don't really 
understand what's going on. 

102
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,640
I don't really understand what 
we're out to in the conversation

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800
because sometimes we get lost in
the conversation and the 

104
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,720
argument. 
I'm like, wait, where do we will

105
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,800
where do we start again? 
And so I'm having these 

106
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,280
conversations in my head and I'm
like, this isn't make sense 

107
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,720
making sense to me. 
Are you trying to put this on 

108
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,520
me? 
Like, and that's where I'll go 

109
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,720
defensiveness. 
I'm like, like, you can't put 

110
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,080
that on me because you struggle 
with this, this, this and this. 

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,480
And then so, but it's that's 
separate from what we're 

112
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,160
actually talking about. 
And then the unmet with 

113
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,080
unrealistic expectations. 
It's a game. 

114
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,480
It's these conversations that 
I'm having internally, but I 

115
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,600
haven't voiced anything to you. 
Sometimes I haven't even voiced 

116
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,160
that. 
I've not done social media or 

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160
something. 
I don't remember the last one, 

118
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000
but I'm just saying social media
because that's one we have done 

119
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,560
before. 
Yeah, yeah. 

120
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,760
So they're the ones that's 
mainly internal conversations 

121
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,760
that I'm having. 
Is it a common denominator? 

122
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Yeah, That leads to more things.
I think that's accurate for me 

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,800
as well. 
Internal and probably that's 

124
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,000
maybe across the board. 
The internal stuff that we're 

125
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,160
navigating plays into what how 
we navigate conversation. 

126
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,000
I would definitely say 
defensiveness for me. 

127
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,040
I'm going to do multiple because
you did multiple. 

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,560
But you know better. 
But now I like that 

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,560
conversation, defensiveness. 
And probably before 

130
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,840
defensiveness is I have this 
ongoing conversation about what 

131
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,520
I think you're thinking about me
all the time, even if you're not

132
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200
like, like, whenever you're 
upset or something. 

133
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,640
And I'm like, are you OK? 
Are you OK? 

134
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,480
And then sometimes I'll be like,
all right, are you mad at me? 

135
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,600
Yeah. 
And the problem is sometimes you

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240
are irritated but. 
It's actually like genuinely, 

137
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,400
it's very rare in those times 
when you're asking me, are you 

138
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,440
OK? 
Are you OK? 

139
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,480
Are you mad at me? 
I'm like, what, what, what, 

140
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,480
Where did that even come from? 
Like that's the majority of the 

141
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,560
time. 
They're not getting annoyed at 

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760
you yet. 
Yeah, but I, so I have this 

143
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,400
conversation going all the time 
of like, he doesn't think I'm 

144
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,840
doing enough, he thinks I'm 
being lazy, he's disappointed 

145
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,200
with my choices, he's mad at me.
Like that sort of thing ticks 

146
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,200
over. 
And so then that's why I'm like 

147
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,080
hyper vigilant in how you're 
acting. 

148
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,080
But then when you do bring 
something up, then my 

149
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,440
defensiveness is like, there we 
go. 

150
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,600
So like part of it is this 
internal conversation I've got 

151
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:55,080
going. 
That's just me assuming assuming

152
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,960
things, assuming assuming ass 
things. 

153
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,440
And then, and then that's 
reinforced by defensiveness 

154
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,000
because I'm like, see, he does 
think this, this and this or 

155
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,440
whatever, or the same thing that
you just said, like you're 

156
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,520
saying that about me. 
What about these things that 

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,360
you're doing? 
And I do, I do really struggle 

158
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640
across the board with 
misunderstanding. 

159
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,560
So if someone misunderstands me 
or misrepresents me, I really 

160
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,640
struggle with that because I 
just, I'm like, because I used 

161
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,560
to more than I do now. 
As we've been discussing about, 

162
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,640
I used to put so much effort 
into how I talked and how I 

163
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,560
acted around people and that my 
like a huge portion of my energy

164
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,240
was spent on making sure I 
didn't upset somebody. 

165
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,800
That then when I did, when 
someone would raise something 

166
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,600
with me, I was just like, you 
have no idea how like the 

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,120
misrepresentation, sorry. 
I'd be like, you have no idea 

168
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,640
how much effort I put into not 
doing these things or whatever, 

169
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,680
which is just, that's a problem 
in itself. 

170
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,080
So then when I feel 
misrepresented or if I feel 

171
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,680
like, like it's inaccurately 
judged or something, I get 

172
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,840
really defensive very quickly. 
I think defensiveness is, is a 

173
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,720
really easy one because if 
you're not the one raising 

174
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,640
something, you're kind of like 
la da, da, da, da. 

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,000
And then someone raises it and 
you're just like, but if you're 

176
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,760
the person raising it, you can 
think about what it is and what 

177
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,600
you're thinking about. 
And that's why it's so important

178
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,960
to raise things carefully and to
raise things in a way that you 

179
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,640
want the other person to succeed
because you're the one with the 

180
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,560
power in that situation. 
Doesn't mean that you're what 

181
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,520
you're raising is not 
appropriate or whatever, but 

182
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,440
you're the one with the power 
because the other person is just

183
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,400
about to be blindsided. 
So you just have to be aware 

184
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,120
that that's going to probably be
a tense conversation. 

185
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,960
But yeah, definitely 
defensiveness. 

186
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Definitely this internal 
conversation that I'm having 

187
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480
that plays into it. 
So one on there as well. 

188
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,640
You, you wrote down like what's 
the one we can be doing about it

189
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,919
now? 
What's the first steps in it? 

190
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
We'll get the next one, but 
either way, I'm gonna bring the 

191
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,880
way. 
I'm gonna bring it up for this 

192
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
one too. 
It's it's what's one thing you 

193
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,400
personally do that keep them 
alive? 

194
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:51,880
If that's that's part of the 
question. 

195
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,600
Yeah, right. 
Well, I, yeah, OK, well, this 

196
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,240
would still be relevant for that
too, though. 

197
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,360
Is I brought something up with 
my boss the other day and I, I 

198
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,120
addressed something when he 
mentioned it. 

199
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,960
So I, I called him about 
something else. 

200
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,000
He mentioned something and then 
I addressed that other thing 

201
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,840
that he brought up, right? 
It wasn't the reason I was 

202
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,440
calling for, but it was a, it 
was a, a bigger conversation. 

203
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:18,240
And anyway, so he, he assumed 
that I was calling him actually 

204
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800
about this bigger thing. 
He's like, oh, well, you've just

205
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
got me so off guard. 
Like I'm just going straight 

206
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,320
defensiveness because you've 
just got me so off guard. 

207
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,840
I'm like, Oh, no, I actually 
genuinely wasn't calling about 

208
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,080
that, but made me really and we 
had a good conversation about 

209
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,480
it, but we were like, look, 
that's where it's important to 

210
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160
set up a meeting over that big 
topic. 

211
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,480
Don't just bring it on the 
person because we naturally do 

212
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,160
go defensive when we're not 
prepared and we feel caught off 

213
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,320
guard and it's like like it 
feels like attack and we're like

214
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,120
defend, you know, like this 
straight away. 

215
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,880
That was a big thing that I 
realised too. 

216
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,240
And so in this in this scenario 
for me, I think that's pretty 

217
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,080
much it. 
It's like I know that I can I 

218
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,800
kind of like just go there, like
I don't warm up. 

219
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,760
I don't, you know, say, Hey, I 
really want to talk about 

220
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,880
something. 
I don't prime it. 

221
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,600
I'm just like there, like issue 
address it now and now these can

222
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,440
make you easily go defensiveness
like straight away and like you 

223
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,640
do that back for me. 
Like you bring up you you say I 

224
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,600
don't even I want to talk to you
about something, man. 

225
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,520
Oh crap, here we go. 
But. 

226
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,960
But at least it gives you. 
It gives me that little walk and

227
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,360
then in that moment I can work 
on, well, all right, I know I 

228
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,560
get defensive, so I need to hear
you out. 

229
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,680
I need to be respectful for what
you're saying. 

230
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:31,080
And it gives me that buffer of 
going through this is how do I 

231
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760
want to respond? 
Even if I'm right or even if 

232
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,960
she's wrong, Where do I 
naturally go with my thinking? 

233
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,040
Where do I want to go with my 
thinking, All that sort of 

234
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,760
stuff. 
It's like a 2 second thing and a

235
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,680
lot of things go in my head. 
But I think we've been talking 

236
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:45,280
through this stuff for long 
enough now. 

237
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,640
It's a lot faster for my plan to
go through those steps. 

238
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,720
Yeah, I think it, it shows as 
well that you're not just trying

239
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,120
to respond or, or even shows 
your body yourself that you're 

240
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,920
not just trying to like react, 
respond, attack, criticise, 

241
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,760
whatever. 
You're trying to be careful. 

242
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,560
Even if the the way the 
conversation then plays out 

243
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:09,480
afterwards, at least it's one 
indication that you're trying to

244
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,720
care for the other person in 
that process as well. 

245
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,320
And yeah, I was just thinking 
that's a really good idea like 

246
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,240
across the board to just if it's
a big thing to just say, hey, I 

247
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,400
actually really need to talk to 
you about the stuff you've been 

248
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,640
doing around the house or, or I 
really need to talk about the 

249
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,840
way we have been navigating the 
stuff going that we have to do 

250
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,400
around the house. 
So can we have a conversation 

251
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,080
about that later on? 
We put the kids down or 

252
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,720
something like that? 
Or can we have a conversation 

253
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,680
once I make a coffee or 
something that gives a little 

254
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,960
bit of time? 
Isn't super like, I guess if I 

255
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,400
came out and I was like, I 
really need to talk to you about

256
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,320
your attitude. 
Yeah, it's. 

257
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,080
Probably still. 
Aren't. 

258
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,400
You, it's probably still a 
little bit helpful cause at 

259
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,880
least you've got a little bit of
an agenda, but it's yeah. 

260
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160
But that's very tacky. 
I think I would still get 

261
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,720
defensive, but if you. 
But then again, it's like, 

262
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,640
alright, so you know, if you say
to me, because this is what you 

263
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,160
do, well, you say I need to have
a conversation and you say, 

264
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,840
well, I'm really struggling with
XYZ, you know, and this is how 

265
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
it makes me feel. 
And you go through from your 

266
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,960
perspective. 
So I think it's very less like 

267
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,360
like directed at me. 
Sometimes you, sometimes it goes

268
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,800
there. 
And that's where I think I'd 

269
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,800
get, I'd get offensive. 
And I think that was again 

270
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,320
through that hard time through 
selling the house and that 

271
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,440
that's probably what. 
I didn't have as much time you. 

272
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,880
Didn't have as much time 
exactly. 

273
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,400
I think that's where then I got 
more defensive and and I was 

274
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,480
more sensitive and all that sort
of stuff was like, you didn't 

275
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,720
prime me. 
It was the I mean, I need to 

276
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,760
talk about this. 
This is it. 

277
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,560
And I'm like, what? 
You know? 

278
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,880
It's so funny though, because 
I'm, I'm intrigued by the fact 

279
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,000
that you need that in return, 
but you don't naturally give it.

280
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,960
Yeah, that's interesting to me 
because I, yeah, I'm intrigued 

281
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,320
by that. 
Well, I think everyone needs it.

282
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,240
I think everyone needs it and I 
don't. 

283
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,360
I think it's a. 
Well, do you think everyone 

284
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,920
needs it? 
I think some people that don't 

285
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,680
don't mind. 
I feel like some people don't 

286
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:56,440
mind if you're just like, I 
don't know, just like critical 

287
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,000
back or I. 
Don't know how, I don't know 

288
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,360
how. 
Again, this is not like, you 

289
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,040
know, I'm not a professional in 
this space, but I don't know 

290
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,360
how. 
So I'm trying to think through 

291
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,040
people that I feel like could 
could fit into that category. 

292
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,680
I still think there's an element
where they're like, all right. 

293
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,400
If you probably made that a 
little bit better, it'd. 

294
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,640
Be it'd be better. 
It'd be better, like, it's not 

295
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640
like there's a need, but I think
it's just a better approach. 

296
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,480
It's just funny to me it like in
genuinely curious that you your 

297
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,160
natural is to be direct get to 
the point, but how you need to 

298
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,000
receive it is so is so 
different. 

299
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960
I think this is something 
learned though, you know what I 

300
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,920
mean? 
The receiving part, I think it's

301
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,560
been like, I know that I respond
better if I pry myself, if I 

302
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,200
walk through these things right.
I think back in the day, 

303
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,640
probably short like I might have
been, it might have been 

304
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,520
something that was better for me
to just just hear it. 

305
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,520
And that's what I think what we 
struggled with in the beginning 

306
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440
of our relationship. 
But over time, again, if I just 

307
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,320
hear it, I just respond right. 
And then you, but you're not 

308
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,720
ready for my like it's I am very
blunt. 

309
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,920
I was very blunt. 
So I was like, I matched forward

310
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,480
with, yeah, I'm actual energy. 
But I, I think it's down to how 

311
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,800
you receive as well. 
And so it's a matter of, it's 

312
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,440
not just a matter of how I 
receive, it's how I respond. 

313
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960
How I receive is going to 
dictate how I respond. 

314
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,600
It's also to note as well, you 
do get it. 

315
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,600
It isn't helpful for you if I'm 
too vague or if I'm too no, no, 

316
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,960
no, no, beat around the Bush. 
Well. 

317
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,120
That's not what I'm talking 
about. 

318
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,000
I'm not talking about yeah. 
I'm just saying that's, that's 

319
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
probably how that plays out on 
the flip side, like you don't. 

320
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Yeah. 
And I, I think probably for me, 

321
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,400
I probably find it nicer when 
people beat around the Bush, 

322
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,040
even though I know you're 
beating around the Bush. 

323
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160
You're not being like direct. 
But yeah, so that that might be 

324
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,120
how that plays out for you is 
like, yes, I need you to prime 

325
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,360
me, but I need it to be clear 
what you're saying. 

326
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,480
Yeah, yeah. 
Some kind of wishy washy thing? 

327
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Now that one, great. 
So the next one was the simple 

328
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,720
easy connection challenge for 
today. 

329
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Now I don't want to do this from
in the moment, but I did take 

330
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,800
some time before just sort of 
thinking through three thinking,

331
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,720
thinking through about you. 
Anyway, I saw in the hospital 

332
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,240
recently, my work goes into the 
hospital sometimes. 

333
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,200
I saw in the hospital recently, 
there was this poster on the 

334
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,320
wall and it was talking about it
was a it was a poster, an image 

335
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,000
of a nurse, right? 
And on that on the word just 

336
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,400
said, hi, I'm Susie or whatever 
it was. 

337
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,320
I like photography, walking my 
dog and I like beaches. 

338
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,480
We're more than just a nurse and
talking about I think that from,

339
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,960
you know, this violence and 
stuff towards yeah, aggression 

340
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,240
towards us and humanises. 
So it's like I think this is 

341
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,040
something that's powerful about 
this what you're talking what 

342
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,600
you brought up in the full 
episode, this exercise. 

343
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Now we're humanising people and 
especially if we're really 

344
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,880
struggling with them, 
remembering through You're more 

345
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200
than Amy. 
If it makes sense. 

346
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,800
Like your name? 
What I see? 

347
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,880
Wife even. 
Yeah. 

348
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,160
Wife like there's there's you're
more than mom, you're like, So 

349
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,120
what do you enjoy? 
And I was really bringing 

350
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,840
through like trying to think 
through that. 

351
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,360
I'm like, Oh, you love 
creativity. 

352
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,440
I was going to say like social 
media, but it's like what I've 

353
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,720
learned about you, It's you 
don't love one thing. 

354
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,360
You love creativity, you love 
growing things. 

355
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,720
But if you just, if you were to 
nail that down into photography 

356
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920
or social, you, it wouldn't, it 
wouldn't hit the mark. 

357
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,680
It'd be like, no, you'd get over
that very quickly. 

358
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,920
It's the creative aspect of it 
and the growing aspect. 

359
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,040
And that's something that I love
about you is you are a Unicorn. 

360
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,880
You are, you love giving things 
a go. 

361
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,040
The other thing too is again, 
like, so you're more than mum, 

362
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,640
but I love the way that you do 
mother. 

363
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Like, I love the way that you, 
you're, you are patient with the

364
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,440
kids and I can tell like, and 
this isn't something to put on 

365
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,240
you because this is my, my thing
I need to work through. 

366
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,920
But this is a team. 
We're we're A-Team. 

367
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,640
I find it so much easier when 
you're I love when you're calm 

368
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,960
when I'm stressed because I, it 
helps me to match your energy 

369
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,840
rather than, you know, we're 
both stressed and we're just 

370
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,240
frustrated, but I feel like 
you're someone that I can do 

371
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,599
that with. 
Like it's so that for me, I love

372
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,240
you in that space because I'm 
like, I can breathe, like Amy's 

373
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,560
calm here. 
I can be calm. 

374
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,079
That's not to put on your your 
shoulders, and I know that can 

375
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:14,359
easily be put onto your 
shoulders. 

376
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,079
And I just have to be calm. 
Just be calm every single time 

377
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,160
and then that's fine. 
So not put it on you, but just 

378
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,200
do it. 
So that's something I really 

379
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,640
love. 
What was the actual question? 

380
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280
So it's just to look and pause. 
Pause for six seconds and look 

381
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,560
at your partner without saying 
anything, without checking your 

382
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,920
phone, etcetera. 
Look at them like you're really 

383
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,280
seeing them, like they're not 
just your spouse or Co parent, 

384
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,400
but people with dreams, 
struggles, and a life outside 

385
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,200
you. 
And let those 6 seconds remind 

386
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,560
you why you're with them. 
So me writing things in my head,

387
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,800
writing things down helps that 
exercise because I could look at

388
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,040
you and then I'm like, cool. 
But if I think through a bit, I 

389
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,360
have to go to that thinking 
level. 

390
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:54,320
I want to write things down, 
like in my head, mentally write 

391
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,360
things down about you and help 
me to just see a much bigger 

392
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,960
personality view or who what 
makes you like, you know, even 

393
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960
thinking back to you when I 
first met you and your smile, 

394
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,440
like that's just something 
that's ingrained into my head. 

395
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Like that's the thing that just 
captured my attention straight 

396
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,400
away. 
I think back at that moment, I 

397
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,120
think back to our honeymoon. 
I think back to, well, in the 

398
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,440
hospital, we're having our kids,
like those sorts of things, and 

399
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,080
these special moments was where 
I really tried to focus on. 

400
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,920
Yeah, it's nice. 
What'd you do? 

401
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,440
I did this last night while you 
were playing your game on the 

402
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,080
bed and it was really 
interesting. 

403
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,080
You know how like if you're like
kind of blurry eyed and then you

404
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,240
suddenly focus in on something 
and it kind of it like a just 

405
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,040
like a camera lens. 
It was kind of like that or like

406
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000
when you just like almost like 
making it big picture. 

407
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,520
All of a sudden I was just 
watching you and I was thinking 

408
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,840
about the things that make you 
who you are. 

409
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,240
And I was like, it's so 
interesting how we really do 

410
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,640
become, we really easily put 
people in boxes. 

411
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,200
And I was just spending time 
thinking about your, your brain 

412
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,680
and how you work. 
And even when you're playing 

413
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,120
your game, like you are very 
good at your game and you get 

414
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,520
very interested in it and you 
learn about it and stuff and you

415
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,760
lead in that space. 
And I know it's just a game, but

416
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,320
it's important to you. 
And so I was thinking about how 

417
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,960
you're just so naturally that 
way, even on your computer game,

418
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,120
and it was cool. 
And I was also thinking about 

419
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:21,200
how Tom is interesting on Sorry,
Blaze Boss was talking on a 

420
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,840
meeting recently about how they 
were up in Rockhampton for 

421
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:24,960
something and it was cool to 
watch. 

422
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,600
You just lead that little 
interaction that you had with 

423
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,880
some clients or that's that's 
enough detail for you guys. 

424
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,160
It doesn't make any 
stakeholders. 

425
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,160
Stakeholders. 
Yeah. 

426
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,000
And just watching you talk about
it and that he could kind of sit

427
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
back and and you just took it. 
And I was like, damn, it would 

428
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,560
have been really nice to see 
that guy. 

429
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,200
I know that you do. 
Well, this stuff. 

430
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,920
I always have known that even 
before you got this job like 

431
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,480
that, I was part of the person 
being like, Blair's really good 

432
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,640
at this stuff. 
And so I know you're good at it 

433
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,200
and I hear what you're doing, 
but just hearing someone else 

434
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,880
reflect on how good it was to 
watch, you just own that space. 

435
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,800
I was like, I wish I could just 
watch that. 

436
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,280
And I do watch it from from a 
distance, inverted Labour. 

437
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,680
I think it was a really cool 
exercise because it is very easy

438
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,480
to get. 
It's not like I sweep you into 

439
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,880
any kind of. 
I don't know, like it's just 

440
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,280
like we exist together. 
It's not, it's not that you 

441
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,520
become a certain person, you're 
not in my brain. 

442
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,240
It's just that I don't spend 
much time like looking at you 

443
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,760
and just being like, hello. 
We just kind of exist in our 

444
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,120
routines are so like we're so 
dependent on our routines with 

445
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,280
the kids and stuff like that, 
that it's not easy to find that 

446
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,840
space. 
Even on date nights we struggle,

447
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,760
like we go out and we struggle 
for the first hour, something to

448
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,480
really like just be with each 
other and then finally, and then

449
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,400
it's always really lovely when 
we get that time. 

450
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,160
So I thought it was a really 
special experience. 

451
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,360
Exercise. 
Nice. 

452
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,640
It's funny to me that you had to
write stuff down mentally. 

453
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,560
Yeah. 
And I had to actually just look.

454
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,400
I needed to look at you and do 
that. 

455
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Yeah, Right. 
And look like a creep on the. 

456
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Bed. 
Yeah, I was busy. 

457
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,120
I was from the last one here. 
The future pace exercise. 

458
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,440
Quick and not awkward. 
Imagine that in six months your 

459
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,600
communication has completely 
transformed. 

460
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,920
When you talk, you both feel 
seen, understood and respected. 

461
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,800
How does that change your day to
day relationship? 

462
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,400
Now ask yourself, what's 1A 
small thing you can start doing 

463
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,880
today to move, to move toward 
that future that. 

464
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,320
You read the future pace 
exercise quick and not awkward 

465
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,000
because that's my note to 
myself. 

466
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,520
Now you guys know it's quick and
not awkward. 

467
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,560
So this, this is something that 
you just, it's really helpful to

468
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,560
feel the feelings of where you 
want to go. 

469
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,760
And we don't do that very often 
in life. 

470
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,080
It's a huge tool in coaching 
because if people want to move 

471
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,840
towards a goal or achieve a 
certain thing, an outcome or 

472
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,920
whatever, if you are just kind 
of not really sure what it's 

473
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,040
going to feel like or what it's 
going to look like, you're never

474
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,480
going to get there. 
That's that's not an effective 

475
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,920
way of navigating. 
And they talk about how sports, 

476
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:03,880
like golfers, for example, 
sportsmen, they spend time 

477
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,240
thinking about feeling like 
preparing themselves, what it 

478
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,560
would feel like to make the 
perfect hit or whatever you call

479
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,640
it in golf. 
And they literally visualise 

480
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,080
that like that's what they do in
those seconds before they are 

481
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,600
doing their shot. 
I just feel like like. 

482
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,280
I had no golf enough either. 
Anyway, because you're like so 

483
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,880
much more likely to make the 
goal. 

484
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,200
I know it's not a goal if you 
have visualised where you're 

485
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,480
going and you know what that 
feels like and you know, because

486
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,560
even your muscles with singing, 
sorry, I'm going on a bit of a 

487
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,560
tangent here, but with singing, 
if you visualise the sound 

488
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,760
without making a sound, there's 
a way to rehearse. 

489
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,920
If you can't for some reason 
make noise, you can actually 

490
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,800
just visualise and like picture 
making that sound and your vocal

491
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,000
cords will adjust to it. 
So even though you're not making

492
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,840
a noise, it's actually an 
effective way to rehearse or get

493
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,240
a key. 
If you're like, you can catch 

494
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,080
the key in your brain, Yeah, 
like get ready for it. 

495
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,680
But if you have to come straight
out on something. 

496
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,400
So anyway, all of these things 
are why visualising, picturing, 

497
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,680
like embodying the feeling of 
what you're working towards is a

498
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,320
helpful thing because it helps 
you stay on track with that. 

499
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,480
And so this exercise is to do 
that you, you have a goal in 

500
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,120
whatever it is you're, you're 
pacing yourself for there. 

501
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,840
So your future pacing, your 
future pacing, what you want 

502
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,360
your communication to look like,
what you want your relationship 

503
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,440
to be in six months time after 
you've worked really hard on 

504
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,160
this. 
And so you're picturing what 

505
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,720
that feels like, how you 
interact, what it would look 

506
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,640
like, how it would change the 
family dynamics, literally how 

507
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,520
you would walk past each other 
in a hallway, how you would tell

508
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,360
each other about your day. 
Like you're picturing all those 

509
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:42,280
details to feel them in your 
body now so that it can help you

510
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,360
and your body now in achieving 
those things. 

511
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,320
So yeah, I think I haven't 
actually done this exercise. 

512
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,160
Well, this is like where I think
for us, we're going to change a 

513
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,880
little bit here because this 
podcast was definitely one of 

514
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,040
those things, yeah, one of those
steps to help us in this 

515
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,440
direction. 
The next step of that for us has

516
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,480
been this literal episode. 
So this corner, what is? 

517
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,880
It reality check. 
Reality check, yeah, I shouldn't

518
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,880
know what the name is, but 
that's the next. 

519
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,320
That's, that's step #2 for us 
actually, because so we've been 

520
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,840
doing this podcast now for a 
little bit and we're, you know, 

521
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,800
been getting, learning a lot 
from and having a lot of common 

522
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,160
conversations, but now we're 
actually applying those 

523
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,400
conversations. 
So that's what this is. 

524
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,120
That's why we're not cheating 
because this is how we're being 

525
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:25,640
intentional with it. 
But we don't have a Step 3 

526
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,480
because we're just introducing 
Step 2. 

527
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,000
We do, we do have to do this 
sometimes to like even when 

528
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,800
we're getting ready to start 
season 2. 

529
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,480
I think it was a bit like I was 
a bit just not there mentally, 

530
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,240
but we really had to kind of 
picture where we wanted to go 

531
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,760
and then make it happen. 
And this actually, I was I was 

532
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,720
picturing, I don't know if it 
was because of this or just as 

533
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,080
my brain what I want the podcast
to be like, what we really want.

534
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,160
I'm not even gonna say the 
podcast to be what we want. 

535
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,720
Honey, we need to chat to be and
like my goal or our goal is that

536
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,920
we will be having regular 
retreats with couples that want 

537
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,120
to like spend however long a 
weekend, four days, whatever, 

538
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,880
intentionally putting effort 
into strengthening their 

539
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,920
relationship, turning things 
around and coming out of that 

540
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,280
retreat stronger. 
Like that's, that would be my 

541
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,040
goal. 
Like I would love for us to have

542
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,360
that as a part of a regular part
of what we're doing here in this

543
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:17,000
community. 
And that like I was playing that

544
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,120
back of where that starts. 
And I think that's the reality 

545
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,360
check corner is where that 
starts. 

546
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:24,560
Like we start to actually see 
people having real life change 

547
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,160
in their relationships. 
And part of that is us being 

548
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,960
willing to challenge a bit more 
firmly and a bit more like 

549
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,120
practically than we have been. 
Yeah. 

550
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,760
And challenge ourselves and 
challenge ourselves in stepping 

551
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,640
out in that space. 
And you guys are a part of that 

552
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,720
with with the feedback and with 
being in this community 

553
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,480

That's a huge part of that. 

554
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,960
