Speaker 1: 0:00

Hey everyone, you're listening to 5 Years Time with your host, grace Black. Hey, cuties, everybody, we have a guest today. Hi everybody. Okay, so for the OG 5 Years Time listeners, we know Lauren. Oh my gosh, lauren. We're podcasting for the first time in like how's it almost been two?

Speaker 2: 0:43

years, two years, I think. I was thinking about it because I was like we started during like.

Speaker 1: 0:48

It was like Christmas-y time, I think, or winter during the pandemic.

Speaker 2: 0:52

Yeah, and then I was thinking it was like almost two years ago that.

Speaker 1: 0:55

Yeah, I feel like it was like November or something. Yeah, during 2020, which seems like wild. That was so long ago. But oh my gosh, you're back.

Speaker 2: 1:06

I'm back. I was thinking about it. I was like, are we gonna be like, hi Lauren, hi Grace, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: 1:13

I should have listened to an old episode to update myself on how we used to say things. I'm so excited to have Lauren here. As you all know well, I guess, currently I'm not away on vacation, but at this moment in time I am. So we have Lauren coming in with an episode and this is like our bit of an intro to having guests. Again, let me know what you think. Obviously, we all love Lauren. I would also love Lauren to be on the podcast more often if she's interested.

Speaker 2: 1:41

Well, I was actually gonna say like part of we could kind of say about like what had happened.

Speaker 1: 1:48

Yes, I was gonna say we should talk. I know there's so much to you guys Like. We kind of left you hanging. Me and Lauren had a huge fight. We haven't talked for two years. This is our first time meeting.

Speaker 2: 2:00

So you have family dinner.

Speaker 1: 2:05

Yeah, so we'll definitely. So I guess we'll jump into. Well, first, lauren, introduce yourself, just in case, because there's new people here, so tell us who you are.

Speaker 2: 2:14

Hi, I'm Lauren. I am Grace's sister-in-law, or Grace's my sister-in-law.

Speaker 1: 2:20

Both ways around.

Speaker 2: 2:22

And I am a. Do you want me to give me? Like the whole spiel of?

Speaker 1: 2:26

that yeah, give the spiel.

Speaker 2: 2:27

Okay, I am a personal trainer and holistic health coach. I live downtown Toronto. I'm 25 years old or just turned 25 the other day and, yeah, that's me, I'm Lauren.

Speaker 1: 2:42

Yeah, and Lauren is amazing. So, yeah, I guess we could do some life updates. And then, or should we say like Well, I guess that's kind of like this week I learned is like why we went separate ways, not separate ways. We're making it sound dramatic, guys. I promise you it's not dramatic. But yeah, let's get into our life update. So, as you said, it was your birthday recently, so I want to hear all about that, and you went on a trip to Montreal, I think too, which is so exciting.

Speaker 2: 3:13

I did it was really fun. So, yeah, it was my birthday. I'm a Virgo baby. Not that I am like super into astrology or anything, but people love to know.

Speaker 1: 3:21

She's truly a Virgo, I believe. Honestly, Lauren taught me this. I feel like on the podcast is when I learned what a Leo actually meant and that I'm self-exorbed and but that's for men, I know. I know, but I feel like anytime I need like a little boost of confidence, I like tap into the Leo man side. Oh, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 2: 3:43

That would make sense, because they're like I'm the center of attention, it's all about me. But like you, holster that energy in a more positive light.

Speaker 1: 3:52

Exactly.

Speaker 2: 3:54

Yes, so it was my birthday the other week. I turned 25.

Speaker 2: 3:58

I actually had like a little, not like an epiphany, but kind of like a transformative last month of summer, before turning 25, because I kind of sat down one day and I was like what am I doing? Like what am I truly doing with my life? Not in like I'm in the depths of darkness, or like that. I was really upset with my life, or anything like that. I was like I love the way that my life is going, but what changes can be made to make my life more fulfilling?

Speaker 2: 4:29

Because I feel like always in August, before my birthday, something happens that makes me not enjoy my birthday. I'm not sure why and I spoke about this at our dinner a little bit, I think but something always happens and then I'm like I don't deserve to celebrate my birthday, or like I'm not in a place where I should be celebrated, etc. Etc. Which you should always be celebrated on your birthday, 100%. But for me it's very much a mental thing, like where I am mentally in my life will reflect on how I feel on my birthday. So, anyways, not to go too deep into that, but yeah, so on my birthday we went to dinner and Grace came and some of my girlfriends were there.

Speaker 1: 5:11

With a girls only dinner. It was a girls only dinner.

Speaker 2: 5:14

I wanted to make sure it was a girl dinner. We sent Trevor away literally. Yeah, I was like sorry, Trevor, they'll walk you to Toronto, find somewhere else. Go find something to do. I literally told there's only a few guys that came. But I was like sorry guys, you can't come to nerds just for the girls.

Speaker 2: 5:29

And then as soon as we got back, I was like, hey, everybody can change into like their comfy clothes and like we can just play games and hang out, because I didn't want to do anything crazy. I thought the dinner could be like the nice main event and then afterwards we can just like socialize, mingle, whatever, totally.

Speaker 1: 5:44

And I feel like it had.

Speaker 2: 5:46

It was my first time drinking. Well, I guess, technically I had some drinks the day before when we had our family dinner but yeah, my first time drinking in like a month and a bit or whatever it had been and I feel like, looking back on it, I didn't think I was actually that intoxicated, but I was like I actually was pretty drunk when I think about it, because I don't even remember what we did when we were here other than like sit and play games, but I'm like I feel like people who have here for a decent amount of hours but like what were we all doing?

Speaker 1: 6:13

I literally had no idea. I can tell you I was very drunk. I always say Lauren's birthday is like the one time a year where I don't know what happens.

Speaker 2: 6:22

But my brain turns off. I do remember you were like sitting on the couch and Rachel had made you a disgustingly strong word, whatever drink. And I remember being like, oh, I'm going to fix it, so I take the cups to the kitchen. And then I was like to be honest, I'm too drunk to fix this right now. I'm like everybody, can just drink what they want to drink.

Speaker 1: 6:44

And then you literally gave it back to me and somehow it spilled all over me. Like the way I grabbed the cup from you. It like, oh yeah, it like kept. It's like because I was holding it with two fingers and it just like tips right on to me and I was like, honestly, it was meant to be like you weren't supposed to drink it.

Speaker 2: 7:00

You weren't supposed to drink it. Oh yeah, I had a lovely evening and then, I think at like 1230, I'm not sure what time you left before 12.

Speaker 1: 7:13

I think we got home like one ish or something so like just before 1230.

Speaker 2: 7:18

Yeah, I think just after you guys left I was kind of I like whispered to Damia, was like I want to go to bed now.

Speaker 1: 7:26

Should I tell everybody to leave.

Speaker 2: 7:27

He was like yeah, it's your birthday, if you want to go to bed go to bed. Yeah. So I was like, guys, I'm going to bed, but like you can like mingle for a little bit, but I'm going to go to bed. And they're like, okay, we'll all go. And I was like, perfect, Okay, bye guys.

Speaker 1: 7:42

That's like your Lauren way of asking.

Speaker 2: 7:44

I was like you can like talk but skedaddles, so I want to cut anyways. So that was lovely, I had a great dinner. Thank you again, grace. She blessed us with taking care of the bill.

Speaker 1: 7:56

I was like girl.

Speaker 2: 7:59

I was like girl, I was so shook and I was also like very scattered in that moment because you're like, okay, let's go. And I was like, huh, so thank you very much. My friends are very much appreciated that. And then, oh yes, so enough of it. Well, I guess my trip kind of goes into my birthday. So I went to Montreal with a friend, a boyfriend, and yeah, so he took me to Montreal. It was really really nice. I honestly I felt bad because I didn't realize he had never been to Montreal before and I was kind of just, yeah, it was his first time, and I was kind of just in La La Land and he was like booking everything, planning everything, reserving everything, perfect, and I literally didn't have to think about anything, but I didn't realize that he had never been, so I didn't. I feel like I should have been the one that was kind of recommending.

Speaker 2: 8:50

Yeah, recommending and taking him around. Like I did pick some of the dinner spots because we were there for two nights, we went to two different restaurants for dinner. I put the dinner spots but other than that he was like, oh, let's go to, like, the biodome, let's go to the Ferris wheel, let's go to here, let's go to there. And he was just booking all these things and taking all these places.

Speaker 1: 9:07

He's a man who knows what he wants.

Speaker 2: 9:09

Exactly, and I was also. I was like I don't really feel bad because it was kind of my birthday present, it was my the trip. But I thought about it and I was like, oh, I feel like I should have taken him around more. But it was fine. He seemed to be happy to do it. He was very much. He like spoke to me like planning everything. He enjoyed it. He was like I'll take charge, you just like follow and I was like perfect, so it was really nice.

Speaker 2: 9:31

We traveled well together, awesome, so that was nice. And then, yeah, I've just been working since I got back.

Speaker 1: 9:38

So very fun I feel like traveling. That's like the tell all, like if you can travel well together, like yeah, good place.

Speaker 2: 9:45

Yes, yes, Very, very easy to travel with.

Speaker 1: 9:48

That's good. Amazing, that sounds like so much fun. Yeah, I've actually only been to Montreal once, like I've driven through it before, but like gone once. Me and Trevor went like a few years ago, and we me and Trevor never plan anything Like when we go places. We just like go and then like walk and walk into a restaurant and like figure out what we're going to do while we're there, and I feel like Montreal is the perfect place to do that. Like it's so walkable. You can just like find an adventure wherever you go.

Speaker 2: 10:19

Yeah, you can just walk around and there's things everywhere. There's like old Montreal and then there's downtown Montreal. Yeah, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1: 10:26

Old Montreal is so beautiful and it's like right there All of a sudden, you're just like where am. I Am I in Paris.

Speaker 2: 10:31

Yeah, right, I was like this is giving European vibes. I love it. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 10:38

Amazing. Well, I'm so happy you had such a good birthday and I totally agree with you. I feel like, as you like become an adult, there's something that changes with birthdays where you just I don't know they they can be sad sometimes, like and it's not for like any particular reason necessarily. I think you like try and find what the reason is. Like you always try and find purpose to your feelings but like sometimes your feelings are just there and, yeah, birthdays can feel strange, but I'm glad it was a good birthday and it was. It was the perfect amount of like go out, have dinner and then like chill vibes back. I love that. Like that's yes that's me.

Speaker 2: 11:13

I don't need to be going out.

Speaker 1: 11:15

No, no, no, no. I feel like when you're out out like you're so I don't know you just distract it from spending time with your friends and family and the people that you're with. Yeah, yeah, it's like you're looking for a good time, but you already have a good time by you, right?

Speaker 2: 11:28

Exactly so. It might as well just bring the pot here. Totally, and when I say here I'm like pointing to my apartment, yeah exactly, yeah, on this podcast.

Speaker 1: 11:38

Next year we'll have Lauren's birthday on the podcast. Yeah, my week. Well, today I've literally been. I mean, it's only 10am, so I haven't been that much stuff. Well, as a mom, you're wake up early and you feel like you do a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2: 11:53

I was going to say you wake up very early and you do a lot of things before I go out of bed.

Speaker 1: 11:57

I'm not so confused this morning because We've been sleeping with our windows open, which I love. Like that fall when that gets so cold and you're in your little cocoon, Like I love that feeling. But it's also been like really dark in the morning which is totally throwing me off on like what time it is and so typically row wakes up like around six ish.

Speaker 1: 12:18

And so she came into our bed this morning and I Was like, oh, it must be around six, like we're gonna have to wake up soon. And I looked at the window and I was like, okay, it's dark, I really don't know what time it is. And then she fell back asleep. So I was like, oh, it must be the middle of the night, like she normally won't fall back asleep if it's like after 5 am. So I was like, oh, it must be the middle of the night and I was like, why do I feel so awake? Like I was like I feel like I could wake up now. And I was like, oh gosh, it's the middle of the night, like I'm so awake.

Speaker 1: 12:46

And Then all of a sudden I hear this like noise, and I was like, oh, maybe Trevor went to the bathroom. I'm like so delirious, like I've no idea what's happening. Because I heard like water turning on and off and I was like, is someone in the bathroom turning the sink on and off? And then I was like, oh, maybe it's like a sprinkler Outside, like in someone's yard. But I was like, who schedules their sprinkler to go off in the middle of the night, because I'm still stuck on the fact that it Must be the middle of the night, yeah, and I was like oh no, or did it get really cold last night? And like our sprinkler like busted or something, because like it's not turned off yet. And then I was like worried. I was like oh no, and then so I like went to peek outside the window, literally.

Speaker 1: 13:29

Literally. And then I went to peek out the window and I was like, oh, no, no, it's definitely our neighbor Like across the street, like their sprinkler going off, and I was like that is so weird. And so then I was like, okay, I need to go the bathroom. So I went to the bathroom. When I checked the time it was and I was like, oh, it's literally like 545, it's the morning, like that way. And I was like, oh, row, fell back asleep. So then I just laid in bed for a while and we didn't end up getting out of bed until 7, which was like amazing. So it was like a nice morning, yes.

Speaker 1: 13:59

Yeah, and then I made such a classic breakfast. I made us egg in a hole, or like toad in a hole, you know yes, I made it the other day oh.

Speaker 1: 14:07

Good, and I think that's the first time I've made it for row. She's really into dippy eggs right now, like anything with runny yolks, so I was like, oh, I'm gonna make her toad in a hole, and she was obsessed. So that was. That was perfect. It was like a really good morning, like this is the first morning where I felt like, okay, I'm kind of getting adjusted to the dark mornings. Like all week or for the past, like week, I have literally been like I Can't get up, like I can't do it. This is not happening right now, but yeah, so I think I'm adjusting. But anyways, that was that was how I spent my morning. And then I asked it's, it's Wednesday. So I asked Becca what she wanted for dinner for Wednesday night dinner. Yeah, so I made a little menu. Just before this we're having quesadillas. So I'm excited and I'm gonna go grocery shopping after. But that's my little updates. Nice, but let's get into our snack and drink of the week. So, lauren, what is your favorite thing you're sipping on right now?

Speaker 2: 15:06

Honestly, I have a big bottle of it is Sparkling water, oh, sparkling water. Yes, fancy queen Carbonated sin ben did, did you know?

Speaker 1: 15:16

Oh yeah, it's called. I love the bottle of it because you can hold it nicely.

Speaker 2: 15:21

Yeah, because it has the little like end. Yeah, yes, that is my drink of the week. If you asked me, last week it would have been this like Zebia cream soda, but Just it's just carbonated water very my snack. I Haven't been super snacky lately, but on Sunday I had a nice like just couch potato day, where I've been watching a show and I had. They're like the I don't even know what the brand is called. They're like the sugar-free gummies. Oh.

Speaker 1: 16:02

Um sweet fish? No, sweet, something sweet sweet smart, sweet, sweet, smart, sweet.

Speaker 2: 16:07

Yes, I literally got every single different flavor kind and try it out.

Speaker 1: 16:13

Which is your favorite, I would say the like the Peatrings oh, I found some of the other ones got stuck in my teeth like there was like a Coca-Cola ones, and I was like consistency, like it was more like a Jupejupe kind of yeah but it was like I guess it's just wrong. So it's wrong for a coke like a coke supposed to be, like a gummy worm, like yeah, but it was kind of it was chewy and it's getting stuck.

Speaker 2: 16:39

So I think the peach ring was my favorite.

Speaker 1: 16:41

I feel like people say that the peach ring is their favorite.

Speaker 2: 16:44

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 16:45

I believe you rose kind of obsessed. That's her snack of the week. I'm just gonna throw that in there as peach rings. She's like yes, us and we went to play like games with Trevor's friends the other week and everyone brought like snacks and so they had a you know those like buckets of snacks that have like the lid on them.

Speaker 1: 17:06

Yes, I was like just candies are like sweet, yeah. So they brought a bucket of those like peach rings so they gave them to us because row was like loving them. And now, literally you know how you open those containers and they're like, they're so loud when they open it's literally like a dog. Like I'll be packing rose a snack in the morning for school and I like sometimes put a peach ring in there and I'll like go to open it and like she'll be all the way upstairs and then she's like no, yeah, so anyways, that is Yum.

Speaker 1: 17:42

I'm trying to think like I feel like my drink at the moment is similar to yours. Yours is just the plain sparkling water. I'm like totally into my like the dazzled sparkling water right now and I've been doing mint and lime, which it just tastes like a mojito. Like obviously it doesn't taste like a mojito fully, but like it does, like there's something about it, it's just so good. I was like it with lemon. I even find with lemon it's mojito ish as well. It's because of the mint, I guess. Yeah, and then my snack. I actually shared a tick talk about it, but it's these cheese puffs and I think it's my Barbra's kitchen, but it's the specific flavor their cheddar and blue cheese and I'm not a blue cheese girly, but they don't taste like blue cheese, they just the blue cheese gives them like a stronger Cheese tastes like yeah.

Speaker 1: 18:29

Oh, they're so good. Yeah, we finished a bag in like two days here and rose obsessed with them, like, and she does not like the regular ones, which I don't blame her. The regular ones don't really taste like anything, but the blue cheese ones are so so, so, so, so good. Yeah yeah, what's my grocery store? Do you get it from? I got mine from farm boy, but I know that you can get it at Costco, so I'm assuming it's other places as well.

Speaker 2: 18:53

Okay, yeah, I'm sorry boy then, cuz I don't have a Costco.

Speaker 1: 18:57

If you love them, then you can ask your dad to pick you up I know, I don't even know it at Costco.

Speaker 2: 19:08

I know we need there.

Speaker 1: 19:09

Yeah, I haven't. We got a membership to buy my Longboard because we got some deal and like we used to have a membership but then we wanted the longboard. So then Trevor was looking into a membership and then all of a sudden they nailed us like get a free membership, or we're new, for free now. So we're like, okay, awesome.

Speaker 1: 19:27

Anyways, I went to do that and I literally went gone back to Costco like it's so overwhelming, so overwhelming, and we're like not bulk food people, and my brain doesn't work that way like I like to schedule a Week in advance. I'm not someone who's gonna buy like a huge pack of meat and then cut it up and put it in the freezer Like I just can't. I'll just forget about it, like I just think that.

Speaker 2: 19:51

So meet in my freezer literally.

Speaker 1: 19:54

Oh my gosh, us too, like our real estate agent, gives us a turkey every year for Christmas, and so we have like a freezer full of turkey. What am I gonna cook? A turkey.

Speaker 2: 20:05

Well, I want to learn how to make a turkey, so Well, we should do a turkey tick tock. That would be fun, I'll see you make a turkey. Yes, please.

Speaker 1: 20:14

Easier than it looks. It's actually like, yeah, it's intimidating because it's large, but then you put an oven and never Got it again. That's true, yeah, okay, so let's get into. This week I learned oh, I feel like there's someone just knocked at my door. I Think we're good. Okay, this week I learned. So life of a 20 something year old is what we're talking about, because Lauren is our in-house 20 year old. Now I've said goodbye to that arrow.

Speaker 1: 20:50

My life has been see you late assist, and so a reason that we started the podcast that many years ago me and Lauren Was to keep in touch and create connection.

Speaker 1: 21:04

But why it's called five years time is because Lauren and I are five years apart and I we loved sharing our different perspectives from the different, the different phase of life, because I feel like so much happens in five years it does, yeah, and I feel like even since the two years since we've talked to you, so much has happened. And so Lauren is right now in this like stepping into her truest self era. She kind of talked about leading up to her birthday, but even before that, like I feel like this whole past year, you've really just like figured out your why and like fully living life for yourself and just like going with the flow and feeling good instead of going with the flow and like letting other people interfere.

Speaker 2: 21:53

You know what I mean. Other directions yes, yes.

Speaker 1: 21:56

You've got to focus. So I really want to talk to you about that because I feel like so many people listening, even myself. We always talk about this on the podcast, figuring out our why and how we can always evolve and change and we're not, like, always going to be who we are. Even now, if we feel great, who we are is probably not who we're going to be in a few years.

Speaker 2: 22:16

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 22:16

And yeah, I just would love to hear your perspective and I, I from an outside viewer, have been like, oh my gosh, Lauren has just like really she's just glowing like from the inside out, like she has just like found such good energy in her and around her and it's just really like inspiring to watch, because I like feel like I've been in here for the long ride.

Speaker 2: 22:43

Yes, you've been here through all my ups and downs and my twists and turns.

Speaker 1: 22:48

Yes, and I mean they'll never stop, and I want to know all of them. But yeah, I feel like right now you're just like you. You've really like I don't know, you figured out something, something has changed and you're doing you're doing a lot of good stuff for yourself.

Speaker 2: 23:03

Yeah, I guess I'll go back to kind of January was when it started, I want to say because so I worked at the club last year. I don't know if I had started working there at any point of the podcast, but or if I was.

Speaker 1: 23:20

I don't remember what I was doing. I guess everything was closed, but I feel like I wanted to end at the podcast. It would have, or like when you and me ended, it would have been I think I was probably transitioning.

Speaker 2: 23:32

I think so.

Speaker 1: 23:33

I think I was getting that like in that couple of months I was getting I think I had- started or something like that.

Speaker 2: 23:39

I think that also played a role as two. Anyways, I will discuss that in a second. Yes, so I was working at the club, which was like terrible for my mental health, horrible, I definitely. If you are a strong willed person that is able to just go to work on the weekend the sleep schedule being flip flopped doesn't bother you, then definitely try it out. It's great money, but the energy and like just the environment that you're in and like it just literally sucks the life out of you. So, so and just the yeah, so that I was. I was there, the club had closed and I was like, okay, what like this is when I was kind of like, what is my why? What am I doing? What? What is my purpose? Because I had stopped taking on clients, because I was so tired all the time and I didn't feel like I was really living the life that I was trying to inspire others to live.

Speaker 1: 24:34

I was completely like flip flopped around, my energy was just so low all the time you were just surviving like I was literally just surviving Like anytime we would have our Sunday like get together.

Speaker 2: 24:44

I was like I need a nap, like I can't.

Speaker 1: 24:46

Lauren would literally just be asleep Like I. Was a time in my life where we would just be like, oh, there's Lauren.

Speaker 2: 24:52

They're sleeping Like I was just there, and I was like always, because my schedule was just so flip floppy and I think I spoke on this when we used to do the podcast how like I'm very schedule oriented and I'm definitely a morning person who likes to? Start being productive in the morning and then like be done everything by like 6pm Totally.

Speaker 2: 25:12

And then I'm good to go, yeah. So yeah, in January I think I had, in December kind of like been looking for different places to like studios, like freelance studios, and but the thing was I didn't have clients. So I was like I could go to these studios but I don't have clients yet. So I had, magically, some stumbled upon a place that was looking for a female personal trainer and they had clients to give me and classes that needed to be taught. So as soon as I got there I was getting clients booked and busy and classes. So that was lovely.

Speaker 2: 25:47

And then I spent like seven months there like transforming myself and my mind and my energy, like slowly but surely. And I think I still had stumbled in my like little dark places every so often, which mostly revolves around like drinking and staying out late and wanting to be in the party scene, still a little bit. And so at one point I realized like I woke up one morning and I was so hungover, like deathly, violently hungover, I was like I cannot do this, like yeah, I wouldn't by any means be like I abused alcohol to any like, but like it was borderline, it was getting there, it was pushing it. I was definitely like getting way too comfortable being black out and like trying to pretend like I wasn't and then waking up the next morning and just being like the whole day is a write off, even like the day after would be a write off because I was like I'm dead.

Speaker 1: 26:50

Yeah, and I was.

Speaker 2: 26:50

But again I was still functioning because I was like, oh, I have to be up early for clients in classes. But at one point I was just like enough is enough and and I also at that point was starting to get my own clients and starting to train people at a different studio without being hired on by that person, like by the person that owned the studio, was just like a freelance studio. So I kind of went through this little transformative, like I really want to be independent, I don't want to be working for anybody else. I I that was the goal is to be my own boss and like have my own business. I think I just needed to get that little kickstart, that confidence boost back, being able to be good with people one on one and like in group settings, leading classes and all that stuff. So that, like I am very thankful for the opportunity that I had at that gym that I was at that had given me those clients and that opportunity to like reinvent myself, so that was great, but yeah.

Speaker 2: 27:52

So when I had my little transformative moment, I swear was like us like a bell went off. I just instantly, like I think I went straight to journaling and the Bible, like I was like go back to my roots of like connecting with God. And that doesn't mean going to church necessarily, because I don't go to church I haven't found a church in Toronto that I like but it was really like churches are a whole nother type of topic.

Speaker 2: 28:16

Yes, it was it was really about and I say this like I'm religious was also like spiritual in a sense where it's really about the relationship that you have with yourself. And that also goes to like, whatever your higher being may be, whether that's universe or a different type of God, but for me it's like I've always known that relationship like that relationship with God, like a Christian religious standpoint, and then also really tapping into the relationship that I have with myself.

Speaker 2: 28:48

So one morning I was just like okay, let's write down everything that I need to do today, let's organize my thoughts, let's figure out a way to be independent and be my own boss completely and fully. And also, while we're doing that, I really transform myself from the inside outwards.

Speaker 2: 29:08

So, I started really taking care of my gut health, which also had played a part in how I was feeling day to day, which meant cutting out alcohol and really focusing on the things that I was eating, so like eating at home and just making sure I was spending more time at home and making a good environment for myself here. And then I had been thinking about who am I like, who is my target audience? And I'm like woman, I want to target women. So really like honing in on that aspect of fitness, and I was like how do I do that? And I was like, well, why don't I just literally make my content directed towards women instead of trying to please everybody, like I think what I was doing before was like putting out content that everybody would like, and I'm like I'm not going to get the clientele that I want if I'm just trying to please everybody.

Speaker 1: 29:58

Yeah, you can never please everybody, that's like the hardest lesson to learn especially if the people please her.

Speaker 2: 30:04

Yes, yes, literally, you can never win. And also, men are just no offense to men.

Speaker 1: 30:10

Well, especially on social media.

Speaker 2: 30:12

They're just the worst, Like they're still icky. And they just annoy me and they always like, even just like they're like. I think I put the. I keep saying like sorry that's okay, I posted a video and I was holding a mic.

Speaker 1: 30:27

Yes.

Speaker 2: 30:27

Even somebody was like put the mic on your shirt and I was like don't tell me what to do.

Speaker 1: 30:31

Exactly, leave me alone.

Speaker 2: 30:33

The audio was fine. Anyways, point being, I was like, let me hone in, let me target women, and my first step of that was signing up for a course for pre and post needle training. So that's what I'm currently working on right now that I started at the beginning of September, I think.

Speaker 2: 30:49

I finally got my textbook around my birthday and then I really started doing like my daily learnings after I got back from Montreal.

Speaker 2: 30:58

So I've been studying that and really just focusing on making sure that every day when I wake up I'm checking in with myself and before I go to bed sometimes I'll still watch an episode of my show, but I've been trying to read rather than just like sit in front of the TV mindlessly because I feel like I don't get a lot of time.

Speaker 2: 31:19

I do get a lot of time with myself, but a lot of that is studying or making plans for people.

Speaker 2: 31:24

And then I also have a lot of energy exchange with the clients that I am working with and I want to just make sure that when they're coming to me because a lot of the times you personal trainers are also part-time therapists because we will come to you to talk to you about things I'm like I want to make sure that the advice that I'm giving to other people, or even just the listening ear, is coming from a genuine place and that I have to really think about the things that I'm also like talking about and saying to these people, because, as much as I may not think about it, I have a very large influence.

Speaker 2: 31:57

They're coming to me with a big vulnerability and I want to make sure that I am somebody who is able to support that and give them advice or just like a genuine listening ear, if that's, if that's what they need. So, yeah, that is what I have been working on and that's kind of where I'm at with my little like I swear as soon as I was like, oh my gosh, I'm turning 25. Like originally it was, I never really had that like oh, I was supposed to be here and I was supposed to do this Like I was supposed to be married with kids Because ideally, that's what I wanted to be when I was 25.

Speaker 2: 32:30

But that was like when I was 16. That was my goal. Yeah, I want to be 25, married with kids. I still want that for myself. But how can I raise a whole nother human being or like in a lifetime commitment with somebody if I'm not like trusting myself and able to keep commitments that I'm making to myself or be reliable to other people and be somebody that somebody else can count on. So totally that was my little transformative yes, lauren.

Speaker 1: 33:03

We love it. We love it and like it's so true, like I feel like that's how it happens, like like I think you start making little changes here and there and then maybe you're like falling back, going forward, falling back, and then all of a sudden, like something inside of you is just like I got this, like I know what I want and we're going for it. And I feel like it can be so discouraging at that beginning point when you're going back and forth, back and forth and you're like is this really worth it, like it's so much easier to do what I used to be doing, or like this is so much like.

Speaker 1: 33:37

but then, once your brain connects to your heart like there's no stopping you, you're like lost in.

Speaker 2: 33:43

Lost in.

Speaker 1: 33:43

Yeah, there's no stopping you. But that's amazing and I think that's so inspiring and I think so many people will really connect with that and it's one of those things that I loved how you had said, like when you were 16, you saw yourself at 25, married in with kids, and I think that's something like growing up as a Christian that you see for your future, like that women become mothers and that's your life. And yeah, and I feel like I'm. I once I became married and had kid, kid, child I I all of a sudden realized like, oh wait, I'm still alive and I still have so much life left to live, like it doesn't just end there, right.

Speaker 1: 34:30

So I always, I always, like all all my single girlies and all my people who, like, aren't in that committed relationship yet, like I always say, like, embrace it, because like you only have that time in your life. If marriage is something that you're looking for, like you only have yourself for so long. So just like, love on it and embrace it. But I was going to say something else. Oh yeah, and I guess that kind of goes into. So Lauren had said that she was a club girl. He did bottle service and was like working that shift work and it was just like so rough on her being like having to switch from Monday to Friday or, I guess, monday to Thursday normal hours, and then the weekend different.

Speaker 1: 35:15

And when you were talking about that, I was like I feel like maybe you did start that when we ended the podcast, Cause I know, we said we were going to touch on that.

Speaker 1: 35:23

But yeah, so I think we I guess we can talk about that, like why me and Lauren went separate ways and it's literally the hottest tea in town, so sit back and relax. But I feel like at that time, like from my, I guess we can share our perspectives. Do you want to go first? Should I go first? Go ahead, okay, I'll go first.

Speaker 1: 35:43

Something I love about Lauren and me like we I've known Lauren since she was in middle school and I feel like we before I started dating Trevor if you've listened to like how, the how me and Lauren met so I feel like we've had a relationship for a long time. And something I love about our relationship is I feel like it always, like it's always been sister vibes. Like because I was your camp counselor, I feel like that's naturally sister vibes. That's kind of like the person you are. Are you, when you live together for an extended period of time?

Speaker 1: 36:15

Um, if you've been a camp counselor before, you know this like your kids get on your nerves and then you love them, sometimes like or like not, sometimes more more so sometimes they get on your nervous and then you love them. But you have to, like you, foster that relationship that is like not love or hate, but like that family relationship where it's like, even when you're on my nerves, I love you and you're here for me, and, um, we also have great times and sometimes it's hard and we're grumpy in the morning or grumpy at night or whatever it is right, and so I feel like our relationship started that way and it's always been that way, um, and it's never been, um, at least for again, speaking on my perspective like it's never been uh, and we we've had ups and downs and it's never been like uh, uh, this is the end of us, like we're never, we're never talking again.

Speaker 1: 37:08

And so I feel like when me and Lauren um started the podcast, we both were like, so into it and loving it and um, we both, like, were meeting on the same page. And then, as the years went on um or I guess, year, I can't remember how I think we did one year together. As the year had gone on, Um, I was going through changes and starting a new job many new jobs in that time and then Lauren, of course, being um in her early twenties, was going through lots of changes. We were also coming out of a pandemic. She was starting different jobs, she was moving. She was at school when we started. She was figuring out if school was for her or not, her, what her next steps were. I think she had just begun um club life and her schedule was all over the place and she spoke to this and how it affected her, like relationships and daily commitments to herself and her other things.

Speaker 1: 38:06

And so I feel like I saw that um her, I felt that Lauren was not as committed to the podcast as she was and I felt like, because we have spoken about this and I've spoken about this, like the podcast is a very, like, vulnerable place and, as Lauren said with her clientele. It's like the same thing, like I'm coming here to share with you my life, but also, like you guys, I have influence and you guys are asking questions or wanting to know more and I have a responsibility to share thoughtfully and carefully. And if I'm not my best self, like that's very hard to do, especially like the topics me and Lauren were talking about, like we got deep and vulnerable and like, if you're not in a place to share that like then you can't, like, you just can't, and then you don't want to like it. It's hard to pull yourself into that mindset. Um, and like, even though it's just a conversation, it is like very anything like forward facing to an audience, like even me, like filming my TikToks even though I'm just cooking, like it is an energy release like no other, like it does take a hole on you and um, yeah, so I just felt like Lauren was in a place where, um, if we didn't like, if I didn't talk to her about it, and said, like hey, I think we should like maybe take a break from doing the podcast together.

Speaker 1: 39:27

Like I feel like you're just not in the right mindset, which, like that, was a really hard conversation for me to say, because who am I to tell Lauren what she thinks? And that wasn't even what I was trying to do, but it was more just like I can't be the mental energy for both of us, like it's too much for me, being in a new job, being a new mom, trying to figure out new like where I am in my position, and so, yeah, I just had a conversation, like we had an open and honest conversation and like it was so funny how much I feared having that conversation and then, like when we actually had it, it we were both on the same page, like it was like.

Speaker 1: 40:04

Yeah. So, anyways, that was my, my standpoint. And then we just took time over that Christmas where I said, okay, I'm gonna take two weeks off the podcast and figure out what my next steps are. And for me, I knew I wanted to continue and Lauren was fine with me continuing, so that's, that's why it continued, with just me as a solo host. So, yeah, lauren, your perspective.

Speaker 2: 40:27

Yeah, it's very, I guess, similar in a sense, because, yeah, yes, when we had started it, I was at my parents house and oh yeah.

Speaker 1: 40:37

Yeah, I was still at my parents house.

Speaker 2: 40:39

I was in a Excuse me, I was in a course I don't even remember marketing or something like that yeah, george Brown, something so random. But I was like I need to do something, like I don't know what to do, so I just kind of hopped into something. Yeah, I was. It was also the pandemic, so everything was closed and.

Speaker 2: 41:01

I was much more reliable because I was at home 24 there was no distractions so when I moved back downtown and I was like trying to find my footing of what I wanted to do, I wasn't taking that course anymore. And then again I started the bottle service era and and that took a lot of energy out of me and I went into like just this Time of not feeling like myself or that I should be sharing on the podcast Podcast and I could tell that I was starting to pull away and you were like very much into it and always like brought the energy and I started to feel bad and I was also unreliable.

Speaker 1: 41:48

You're getting me back used to talking to the mic.

Speaker 2: 41:55

And I was being unreliable. I was a very unreliable person when I went into that bottle service era. I was always late, I was always rescheduling and I was not in it. I was being very selfish, but also selfish and like I was in a dark place kind of selfish. That was even just the beginning of my like little yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 42:14

So just it got, even I.

Speaker 2: 42:17

It was just the tip of the iceberg, but yes. So when Grace came to me, I was like a hundred percent, like I can see you flourishing. I had already thought about like I could see you flourishing, doing this on your own, and I thought it was a great Starting point, I guess, transition like I had.

Speaker 2: 42:32

I honestly should have said something earlier, but I was also nervous to say something to her which was making me like I don't want to say anything yet, like I feel bad, like I don't want it to ruin our relationship, like I do enjoy the time that we got to spend talking on the podcast, but I was definitely like my mental capacity to do that was just going out the window slowly. So, yeah, then we had talked about it and we were both on the same page and I was like I think that you a hundred percent should go off and do this on your own because you I, you had already shown so much like like that. You were Just a positive influence and a good vibe and able to like speak to people and influence other people and always had good ideas and very organized, and I was like I think she will skyrocket if I let her do it on her own. So, yeah, we came to that conclusion agreement and look at her now.

Speaker 1: 43:31

Yeah, it was literally no drama at all.

Speaker 1: 43:34

And it was one of those things where I feel like if we hadn't had that conversation, it could have, like we could have resented each other like, yeah, quickly, like that's where it was turning to like I think ultimately we are family and we'll never turn your backs on each other, but like I'm so glad that we chose to do it at that point, no matter how like nerve-wracking that conversation can be. Yeah, because, like, I feel like like literally, the next week it was like back to normal. You know what I mean? Back to schedule programming, yeah, so, yeah, that's the tea. There really was no tea and I Think it's just one of those things, yeah, literally.

Speaker 1: 44:15

I think it's just one of those things where you have to realize that open communication is the most important thing. Like out there, yeah, and yeah it's, it's hard, like I feel like and I feel like we talked about this a lot on the podcast, even just in our conversations is like especially, I feel like I'm still always learning it. But even like those early 20s when you first move out from home, you start having roommates, all these things, like it's so easy to Turn inwards and like, let your inner voice, like fuel your inner voice and fuel the spiral, but like it's a wait, we should just have a conversation and like not hate each other without letting each other know that we're feeling a certain way.

Speaker 2: 44:55

Yes, exactly, and I learned.

Speaker 1: 44:58

I learned that with all my different roommates, which I still found it very, very, I know talk to people when they were my roommate but oh I know roommates are another thing, like that's just something different with family.

Speaker 2: 45:10

We should have a roommate episode.

Speaker 1: 45:12

I'm like Lauren, you're coming back to the podcast.

Speaker 2: 45:17

I Stories. We have a lot of room. Respectful as possible of course, of course, yes, we should have a roommate episode.

Speaker 1: 45:26

Yeah, I, there's something about roommates. I always say like it's because you're not, you're so used to living with family and then all of a sudden you're. You expect it to be like a similar vibe, but it's not you don't have each other different human that got raised differently totally, totally Love is not the baseline.

Speaker 2: 45:44

No, it is like I just met you and you just met me and yeah, now we're stuck in a well, for me, an apartment, yeah, together with one bathroom.

Speaker 1: 45:55

Yeah, we have to share spaces.

Speaker 2: 45:56

Yeah, you have to share the spaces and, yeah, if you don't vibe with that person or you're not on the same Space sharing levels then it can be very difficult, very difficult, and there's not really an escape.

Speaker 1: 46:10

Yeah, okay, well, amazing, let's get into our. This is Lauren's favorite part. We even did this on her birthday our roses Bud and thorns.

Speaker 2: 46:24

Yeah, I literally, so I do that okay. So I Already said his name, so I guess doesn't matter. They mean it doesn't. I literally Always do it with him like we like, sitting on the couch at the end of the night and I'm like what's your husband and thorn?

Speaker 1: 46:42

and he's like a good connection moment. Yes, and yeah, it's also good to just like reflect.

Speaker 2: 46:48

It is because sometimes you go through the day and like multiple days and you're like I feel like I just like repeated, but like there was. There definitely had to have been moments where like yes, it was a good day or it was not a good day or whatever. So totally yes. So she inspired me.

Speaker 1: 47:04

So we did it on my birthday too, because I was, I mean, Grace taught me Rose, but it's thorns, I mean we, this was our camp thing, we did this back at camp so yeah, it's such a good thing. We do it with row now and it's so cute. Yeah, it's one of those things where I feel like you go through life Sometimes and like a week, a week or two, a month will pass and you'll be like, oh, I'm so unsatisfied, I'm so unhappy, like especially with social media.

Speaker 1: 47:29

You'll be like this pretty mad, or they look like this, or they have these clothes or such materialistic things right. You're like I want this, I want that. And then you're like feeling so unsatisfied, but like if every day it doesn't even have to be every day, but like even if just a once a week you like touched, touched back in with yourself and was like. What is my rosebed and thorn? And then you're like, wow, life's great.

Speaker 2: 47:51

I'm happy I'm building the right one yeah. Yeah it'll be so many days that you'll be like there was no thorn. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 47:58

I know I love that.

Speaker 2: 48:00

Yeah, or here.

Speaker 1: 48:02

I always say our thorn turns into a bud, because I like talk myself out of it. Well, I'm saying it.

Speaker 2: 48:06

I'm like, oh yeah, but you know like that happened for a reason.

Speaker 1: 48:08

Yes, yes, anyways, rose, bud and thorns. So how should we do this? Should we do like our roses and then our buds and then our thorns, like go back and forth? Sure, okay, so do you want to start? Should I start? What do you undo?

Speaker 2: 48:22

Um, I Can start with my rose.

Speaker 1: 48:25

Okay, it's your rose of the week or the day, whatever.

Speaker 2: 48:28

Um Well, I haven't done much this morning yet.

Speaker 2: 48:32

So we'll do the week, I guess I did it. I forgot to touch on this point that I started bartending the summer but then I had quit, yeah, recently, because I was kind of just doing it for the summertime, yeah. So my rose was again with the awkward conversations. I had gone to my boss at the bar being like hey, like it's not really gonna work for me, like maybe I could do like once every two weeks, but like it's really opposite to my schedule and I'm getting really busy now. So they ended up coming back to me being like we're gonna have to just fill your position and I was like perfect.

Speaker 1: 49:06

You know that's like that works exactly what.

Speaker 2: 49:08

I wanted, I didn't really want to be yeah and be anywhere near the bar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally so my rose was in spite of awkward conversations and end up going well and I'm very happy that I I never have to go to bed at 4 am Again, amazing.

Speaker 1: 49:27

Yeah, my rose, I'm trying to think you know what. I went shopping with my mom yesterday. So currently, while this is out, I'm in Italy, but I am in a packing mindset right now and so I had like pulled out a bunch of our clothes and like was making piles and then figured out what we are missing and like I went shopping with my mom yesterday to get all the last like minute things that we need and it was such a good shopping like trip. I haven't had a trip like that where it's just like felt good.

Speaker 1: 49:56

Also, me and my mom used to always go shopping, like back to school shopping around August, september, and that was always like my birthday gift, was like we would do a shopping trip and so it was just fun to have my mom there. I had said to my mom like, oh, I need to go shopping and she was like, oh, yeah, there's a few things I need like can I come? And I was like, for sure, and it was just such a girls day you know Like I love that, yeah, a little mommy, daughter shopping exactly little mommy daughter shopping spree.

Speaker 1: 50:23

Okay, your butt or no, let's do thorn bud should come after. So what's your thorn this week?

Speaker 2: 50:28

my thorn this week. Trying to think back on my last couple of days, the only thing I can think of is I kind of pulled my shoulder yesterday when I was no teaching a class. I was like demonstrating and then I. I didn't warm up with them. So when I was- demonstrating kind of like pulled I don't, I didn't dislocated or anything that dramatic, but it just like it could easy, kind of nicked it a little bit.

Speaker 1: 50:56

So that's the worst but she'll be fine, she'll be fine, she'll be fine.

Speaker 2: 51:01

She'll be okay.

Speaker 1: 51:02

Yes, Okay, my thorn, okay, I have a good one and it might like freak people out, but like all of a sudden, about 20 minutes ago, a spider appeared on this wall over here. And, like eyeing it, it's still there, it's. It's a daddy long leg. So like those ones, I'm really fine.

Speaker 1: 51:20

It's like there, if it was like a big juicy one, oh no, this is just like a little daddy long legs. It's staying in its corner. I still can see it, but it's there and it's one of those things where it's like, if you come over here, your life may be ending soon.

Speaker 2: 51:37

But we're good. We're good, he's okay.

Speaker 1: 51:40

Yeah, okay, your bud. What are you looking forward to?

Speaker 2: 51:46

This one is might be like mini long, but so because I have been in my little transformative, like really diving deep in myself and I have been doing a lot of like manifesting and praying and stuff like that, and I feel like a lot of things have been like just coming easily and I've been like almost like manifesting things to happen and I'll or like just like talk about something or like dream about something, or it'll like come up somewhere. It's like so strange. So my bud is just that like that continues and like I'm just like really excited to see what next things happen.

Speaker 2: 52:28

Like whether or not it's, whether or not it is like, oh, like this person got to go look whatever it is, like I'm just excited to see, like what I've been shown next, or like what I'm gonna manifest next, like just I love that.

Speaker 1: 52:44

Yes, I love it. Like I truly probably know nothing about manifestation, and it's like true form.

Speaker 2: 52:50

But yeah, to be honest.

Speaker 1: 52:51

I do like 100% believe, like put out into the world what you want and then like be open and aware and accepting of what the universe is providing to you, because I feel like it's so easy to distract yourself and put on your blinders and like not actually see what's like out there, but like little tippets and like, or redirection, like there's so much beauty that comes in all of that. So, yeah, that's, yeah, that's exciting, my bud, what am I looking forward to? You know what I'm looking forward to? Decorating for Halloween. I know I'm saying this and it's not even October, but like this is coming out in October.

Speaker 1: 53:29

So like yeah, so I'm like so looking forward to it. Ro really wants to do like a spooky house and like I feel like the past two years.

Speaker 1: 53:39

I've been the first year we moved in. I like got the flowers, the pumpkins like right away. I was so excited. I was like a house, a stoop I get to decorate. But I feel like since then I've been like running with like my head cut off around the holiday times, like I'm always just like trying to get to the next day. But I want to embrace it this year.

Speaker 2: 53:56

Like.

Speaker 1: 53:56

I'm like you only got it one time a year, Like you have to embrace it. So, yeah, I'm looking forward and Ro is like totally into it. So I think like she is just like every time we go to a store and she sees fall stuff like she's so excited. Actually, we actually don't have fall Like she calls fall Halloween.

Speaker 2: 54:13

Like I was talking to her literally this morning.

Speaker 1: 54:17

She was like I was like you need to take a bathroom shower this morning and like in the summertime sometimes we'll just go in the pool and call it day. You know what I mean. So yeah, she, I was like you have to take a bathroom shower this morning and she was like it's okay, mom, I'll just go in the pool tonight. And I was like Ro, the pool is freezing, like we're closing it in just a couple of days.

Speaker 1: 54:33

So I was like I don't think that's going to work. And she's like why are we closing it? I was like for winter and she's like and for Halloween. And I was like, yeah, because she calls Halloween fall and spring is Easter. I just have to say that it's so funny. She came down for breakfast Like daddy were closing the pool for Halloween, winter and Easter, and then it'll be open in summer.

Speaker 2: 54:55

That is so cute. So I was actually no, go ahead. No, no, no, you go. No, I was just going to say I was listening to a podcast, because I've been listening to podcasts in the car when I'm driving and she was just saying how she's like getting ready to decorate for fall and like she's like I'm I got my Starbucks drink, like my phone, then you drink whatever she's like, I'm so excited, so yeah.

Speaker 1: 55:17

I feel like I am yeah, I'm, I'm excited, like, and also like I don't think I've really. I do have a little baggie of Halloween stuff, like, and by little baggie I mean literally is a block bag of, like, a few table decorations, because we put out a table every year that has, like, our Halloween treats on it. But it's like I'm ready to like, commit to a few more things. You know, every year get a few new things that like you bring out annually.

Speaker 1: 55:40

Yeah, so that'll be fun. But yeah, that's my bud, so I guess we should get into our entertainment recap, and I heard that you had a binge day earlier like a binge TV day and I got to know what you were watching.

Speaker 2: 55:55

I was watching Desperate Housewives.

Speaker 1: 55:58

Yes, oh my gosh, I forgot you were watching Desperate Housewives. I think that's the end, isn't it? Or is it eight? How many seasons are there?

Speaker 2: 56:05

I think there's eight. I hope there's eight because, okay, yeah, I love it. I already started to end. I loved Desperate Housewives, yeah.

Speaker 1: 56:13

I found. I found personally like the first season. I got into it right away and I kind of didn't realize what it is, but it's like a murder drama.

Speaker 2: 56:22

Yeah, yeah, neighborhood murder, drama mystery. Yeah, it took me to like All this stuff.

Speaker 1: 56:26

Yeah, yeah. It took me to like the third season to realize that, like I was like, oh okay, there's going to be murder every.

Speaker 2: 56:31

Why did people?

Speaker 1: 56:33

keep dying. Yeah, I was like why do we all have guns and why is there dead people? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 56:38

Why are we burying bodies? I don't understand.

Speaker 1: 56:41

So I was like, yeah, it took me to the third season to realize that and I found personally, like for every season after the first, it would take me until about halfway through the season to really get into it. And then I was like so invested because it's really like a different timeline.

Speaker 2: 56:57

Yeah, it's a different timeline. It's a little like it has like a repetitive sense. Yeah, as in, like somebody's always like disappearing or dying or like whatever, it is the very end.

Speaker 2: 57:08

Yes, yeah, I think it's good because I haven't sat, like, sat and like had a show that I've watched, like the seas, like the whole series, in a long time, like probably since I'm trying to think Grey's Anatomy, like oh yeah, something like that, yeah, but anyways, point being, I have just been able to like sit or like I'll leave it on in the background or I'll put it on as my show before I go to bed, like I'll watch one episode and then I'll go read and then I'll go to bed. Yeah, I've been really enjoying it and yeah it feels cozy it does.

Speaker 1: 57:44

And I love how they touch on so much of life's like actually, yeah, I was definitely noticing that.

Speaker 2: 57:51

I was like I was like wait, when did this show come out? Because I feel like they even touch like just on like so many different things about like religion and like um, what else was? Different sicknesses like yeah, yeah, illnesses like the. I literally am on the episode where um, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, um, susan got her second, oh yeah.

Speaker 1: 58:14

Yes, yes, yes, like do I spoil it? I'm sure you've had time to watch it, guys. If you think this is spoiling, like it came out a long time.

Speaker 2: 58:21

It's been years, it's been years.

Speaker 1: 58:23

Get it together. Yeah, here we are both only watching it this year.

Speaker 2: 58:28

Yeah, um, yeah. But I'm like there's they. They touch on a lot of topics and I'm like, yeah, yeah. I really like it.

Speaker 1: 58:37

I like I wish I was going to say if you have, have you watched sex in the city or sex in the city? I always call in the city.

Speaker 2: 58:44

No, no, I haven't Okay.

Speaker 1: 58:46

Like, if you're looking for a show after this, I feel like that would be a really good one for you. That has lots of seasons and it's really enjoyable as well, and then it has two movies after and they have?

Speaker 2: 58:57

no, I have watched.

Speaker 1: 58:59

Okay, and they now have a reboot. They have two new reboot like seasons, which I really enjoy, like I just watched the second season of it I think it's called and just like that and I am loving it. I loved it. So, yeah, I would be my recommendation for you and I think it's really good because it also goes through like people in their 20s and upwards, but yeah, Okay, nice. Yeah, and it's not like as raunchy as what you think the title is. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2: 59:28

Oh no, even the movies, Exactly.

Speaker 1: 59:31

I'm more definitely with it.

Speaker 2: 59:31

Yes, for sure, yeah, yeah. What's your movie show? Well, I guess.

Speaker 1: 59:36

I was like what am I watching right now? I just finished Below Deck Down Under, which I was like all of a sudden. I love all the Below Decks but I like hadn't watched Below Deck in a while and then I just like picked it up and I like became obsessed with it. I watched in like two days I was also like six months.

Speaker 2: 59:51

Did you start that one with?

Speaker 1: 59:52

Becca no, I have not watched it with Becca, no, but that's what I did. So me and Lauren were supposed to record on the weekend we were going to record in person. But I woke up and me and Ro ended up feeling like crap. So anyways, I literally watched it all day on Sunday.

Speaker 2: 1:00:06

So we both had little movies. Is that what you were talking about? Yes, Sunday was the day I literally was like I'm going to get so much done today. And then I was like you know what? It's Sunday, I'm just going to sit on the couch. It was meant to be. Yeah, it was meant to be.

Speaker 1: 1:00:17

It was perfect, but I am still watching Love Island because that's back on hey you. And there's a new. There's something on Netflix that I want to watch, but now that Netflix is so weird and can only be logged in on certain places, like it's on one of our TVs, but I don't go to that TV very often, yeah, yeah. So it's one of those things where it's like I'll watch it when I watch it.

Speaker 2: 1:00:40

Yeah, I haven't been on Netflix in a while. I've just been a Disney plus girly for a while.

Speaker 1: 1:00:44

Me too, exactly so I'm trying to think what it was that I saw on Netflix. Oh Virgin River, there's a new Virgin River.

Speaker 2: 1:00:50

Oh, oh, you just reminded me. Oh, I stopped in the mic. Yeah, there's actually a few shows that updated their seasons on Netflix Now you just reminded me that.

Speaker 1: 1:01:01

I know Exactly.

Speaker 2: 1:01:03

And it's like the Sheldon one, Sheldon Cooper.

Speaker 1: 1:01:06

Oh.

Speaker 2: 1:01:06

Young Sheldon, young Sheldon.

Speaker 1: 1:01:08

I was watching that. I know Someone told me it gets so good. I need to start that yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:01:13

I did actually get really good, so I think they have a new season out. So there you go. Exactly, that's another recommendation.

Speaker 1: 1:01:18

I feel like, yeah, and I feel like TV watching, like I've been living off my iPad currently, like that's my favorite thing to watch right now, but I feel like TV watching is definitely when it gets darker and colder.

Speaker 2: 1:01:28

Yes, yes, so it's survive Going into the fall season.

Speaker 1: 1:01:32

Yeah, oh, I've got to be flexing those things onto Netflix, so I'll have launches to watch. Yes, but amazing. Well, anyways, we've come to the end, lauren Ah thanks for having me.

Speaker 1: 1:01:48

There was like one part where you were talking and I was just like this is the best podcast ever, and then it was like this feels so good. I was like, oh my gosh, at the beginning we both logged on and were like scrambling a bit because we were like, oh wait, how do we do this? We forgot how to podcast with other people, yeah.
