Introduction and New Co-Host
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey sister friend, it's Heather Georgelli, your certified life and NLP practitioner. And I'm Cynthia Fields, your CBF, certified best friend and mother of three. And together we want to make doing the inner work not suck. By talking about all things womanhood, motherhood, sex, and everything in between. Are you ready? Let's talk. This is the Sex and Motherhood Podcast.
00:00:21
Speaker
Hey sister friends, I am so excited to be back for season two of the Sex and Motherhood podcast and I have some really exciting news. Since the Sex and Motherhood podcast came to life,
00:00:35
Speaker
I have brought in a close friend of mine named Cynthia. Say hi. Hi. And I am so excited. The energy that she's going to bring and the insight that she's going to bring and the experiences that she's going to share and just all of the things from sex to womanhood, motherhood,
00:00:56
Speaker
I mean, and everything in between, it's going to be rocking.
Cynthia's Background and Challenges
00:01:00
Speaker
So obviously we're like, well, who's Cynthia? And I want you guys to kind of like get to know her. So Cynthia, tell us a little bit about yourself. I'm so excited. I mean, if you really want me to, I guess. Well, I'm Cynthia and I am really excited to be joining season two of the Sex and Mother Her podcast. Guys, I remember when Heather was talking about starting this podcast and I remember
00:01:22
Speaker
the inspiration that she was feeling that she wanted to create a place where women of all backgrounds can come together and feel like they were represented, including myself. And to know that we, you know, we're not alone in this journey of being a woman, a mother, spouse, a leader, a lover, and everything in between. So I bet you're like, well, that's cool, but who is this girl? So let me tell you, I am Cynthia. I'm also known as mom, mama, babe,
00:01:52
Speaker
the crazy lady who's sometimes loud and a little irreverent. I'm a friend. I'm sure I have an enemy or two out there. I graduated college with a degree in communication. I love being outside going on hikes and enjoying the sunshine. I love playing with my little kids. They're so fun.
00:02:11
Speaker
and hanging out with my super hot husband. And of course, I love talking about all things sex. Yeah, sex. It's like our main subject. It's definitely one of many. Yeah. I mean, we really enjoy talking about it. She's just educated and has so much experience. Our backgrounds are different. Very different. I mean, I had a sex ed class in high school where I had to give a presentation on chlamydia.
00:02:38
Speaker
with pictures and everything. And when I told Heather that, her mouth just fell to the ground. I mean, I was 16 and that's a lot.
00:02:45
Speaker
And I just honestly, I feel so blessed that I get to share with you guys a lot of my experiences. I mean, I've had a NICU baby. I've had postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. I've struggled with my in-laws. I've had failed friendships. I've even been homeless when I was a child. And I also can't wait to share with you guys the things that bring me so much happiness, like my children, being a mother and being a mom, because they're different.
00:03:12
Speaker
I love to talk about the crazy things that I did in college, the good and the bad, and I can't believe I did that. I also can't wait to share with you guys how my husband and I finally got together because it was a struggle and I'm not gonna lie. It's probably one of my favorite stories.
00:03:30
Speaker
I mean, it's pretty funny. It's not your typical, like, you know, love story. I mean, it could be a rom com at some point. It probably could be. But I mean, it's pretty epic. But in this season, I'm hoping that you guys will get to get to know me and Heather together because together we're completely different than what people think.
00:03:52
Speaker
Um,
Humor in Motherhood
00:03:53
Speaker
we'll probably cry a little, but mostly we'll laugh because we do that a lot. Yeah. Yeah. And you can tell. Yeah. We just laugh a lot. And, um, I mean, I like to keep things light and fun and.
00:04:05
Speaker
I mean, I can be serious and I can, you know, get to the nitty gritty of some really hard subjects. But I also believe that, like, it's important to keep things a little bit lighter in life. Just, I mean, who wants to be sad all the time? Not me. You? Same. Yeah. No.
00:04:23
Speaker
And I feel like I learned that a lot from my mom because talking about when I was homeless, when I was seven, my mom, she didn't even tell us that we were homeless. My sister and I thought we were going on this grand summer camping adventure in the mountains in Washington.
00:04:41
Speaker
We just had no idea. We just, we were along for the ride and my mom always laughs and says that her favorite part of that whole summer was every morning I would get up, get dressed, walk myself out to the river because we were camping on the river and I would sing to the fish. I thought it was the same fish every day. I mean, I was seven.
00:05:03
Speaker
No, the same fish. The same fish every day. Those fish are so loyal. They're loyal. And I would just sing and sing and sing a lot of Mariah Carey, some, you know, just random stuff. And my mom would just laugh. And she was like, I just seemed so happy and free. Like I didn't have any care in the world. And now we look back and we laugh at this girl who thought she was Mariah freaking Carey singing to the fish every morning.
00:05:33
Speaker
it's funny to look back on. And she just always reminds me that, laugh, be happy, be free, be who you are, sing to the fish. Laugh at yourself. Laugh at yourself. What an experience to be able to be like, oh, it's OK to laugh at yourself. And I think sometimes we forget that people aren't always laughing at us. It's more of, they feel like they're laughing at you if you're not willing to laugh at yourself for being silly. I mean, I laugh at myself a lot.
00:06:02
Speaker
And we kind of laugh at each other sometimes. We laugh hard that we cry. We laugh at our kids. We laugh at our husbands. We laugh at strangers.
00:06:13
Speaker
Yes. In the car, secretly, to ourselves. Coming up with conversations we think they're really safe. Yeah. I mean, we're those people. But it's all in good fun. You know, sometimes being a mom is hard and we have to, you know, make ourselves laugh a little bit at the things that we've done or said. So that we don't cry. Yeah. But crying's okay too. I love a good cry. I mean, did I not just cry today after Zumba? I went to Zumba today and I was in my own head and Heather's like, I was crying during Zumba. And I was like, what?
00:06:44
Speaker
I was like, it felt so good. I didn't realize I was folding onto it so bad. I had no idea I'm over here like puffing my inhaler because I was having an asthma attack from going so hard and she's over there crying like, this is who we are. She thought it was sweat. Don't worry. Yeah, that's literally probably.
00:07:00
Speaker
I was twerking too hard, I guess. I'm still learning how to do that. I know. But I mean, I just, I really wanted to join this podcast because, A, I love Heather so much. I don't know what I would do without her. I don't know what we would do if our husbands didn't introduce us. I'm sure they regret it now. They definitely regret it. Yeah. I mean, we read our husbands' text messages about us that our husbands have sent to each other. Yes. And then, or like, and then we'll tell each other.
00:07:28
Speaker
What's happening? And I'll be like, what? He said what? Wait, what did that just say? And that is not what happened. That's not what happened. And then I tell her what really happened.
00:07:38
Speaker
It's the best. Yeah. It's the best. Although some people are kind of, you know, different about reading their spouses text messages. And I'm just like, I don't have anything to hide. So I don't really care unless it's like Christmas or like a birthday. And I'm like, you can't read that because I don't want it to spoil a surprise. Jordan and I are horrible at keeping surprises. We have never gone. I think we've had seven Christmases together now. And this was the first year that I actually got him something that he had
00:08:03
Speaker
What? Yeah. I'm not good at holding on to the surprise for a long time. It's a surprise, but Christmas or birthdays are still a week or two away. I'm like, just open it now. Oh yeah, that's definitely us. I already know what I'm getting for my anniversary. He told me, and I was like, why did you tell me? He goes, because it's just so good. I couldn't keep it to myself. He wants that affirmation of, yeah, I did good. Exactly.
00:08:29
Speaker
But sometimes the affirmation's better of the, ooh, yeah, you did good, babe. And then it leads to a something something on an anniversary. I mean, yeah. I mean, what's the something something sex? Obviously, that's what they want. And I mean, almost so I've been pregnant or just had a baby. Basically every year we've been married, but one. That's insane. Well, you don't have to worry about that. I know. I got my tubes tagged guys. That's great. I'm so happy about it. My baby turned one today. So yeah, we're just.
00:08:59
Speaker
living the fun, carefree sex life. See, I told you, we talk about sex. It literally comes up every conversation.
Podcast's Focus and Friendship
00:09:08
Speaker
Just slides right in there. Just slides right, I mean, that's what she
00:09:16
Speaker
Anyway, I'm just really excited for you guys to get to know me a little bit better and to have fun with us. Yes. Yeah. And we're going to dive down into some pretty deep conversations this season. And some light conversations. We have some pretty awesome people in mind. Yeah.
00:09:34
Speaker
We have a couple of guests already lined up and we're super stoked about it. Yes, it's going to be nice. It's going to bring a new and fresh way of thinking about negativity and positivity and your emotional health and your mental health and your physical health, your sexual health, like so many things that really revolve around
00:09:57
Speaker
being a woman and having those ups and downs and struggles and who robs and I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I'm a woo girl. I like to whoop whoop all the time. I don't think all of you have really realized that part of me. Having Cynthia, you're definitely gonna get to know a little bit more fun part. We're both hype girls and we hype each other up. Yeah, and you need a hype girl in your life. I mean, it's really about having someone that you can be
00:10:24
Speaker
100% you, even the things that you're embarrassed to say, the things that Cynthia knows. And I have other really close friends, too, that we have laughed until one of us, like, farts. Yep. That happened. Like, the first month that we knew each other. It's so true. I mean, just the other day, I was like, my head is hurting. There's this bump on it.
00:10:45
Speaker
And Cynthia's like, let me see. And I'm like, okay. And she's like, oh, it's a zit. Let me just get it for you. I popped her zit on her head. That's true friendship. That is true friendship. Like it is the down and dirty. Like it, and it's little things like that that we laugh at. And we're like, I can't believe we just did that. Like it happens. And then I'm like, we can't tell anyone, but here we are telling the world. It's fine. It's fine. It's great. It's, it's creating a connection with someone
00:11:15
Speaker
that's gonna love you on your bad days, on your good days, on, you know, just the hard days. And plus, I really feel like having a relationship, this relationship is so much different now that I'm older and I know what I want in a friendship. I know what it is that I've been missing and
00:11:44
Speaker
I mean, there's some people that make fun of us because we can literally hang out every day and we don't get sick of each other. That might sound crazy. I know. Sometimes I'm like, we haven't seen each other in two days and I really miss you. Can I come over? I haven't talked to you since yesterday. Are you okay? Are you mad at me? No, I'm not mad. I'm just really busy. Like things like that. And we're also really lucky that our kids actually like each other. Yes. And then we live legit, like what? Like five houses down? Half a block away. Yeah.
00:12:13
Speaker
But I still drive down here because it's cold. Well, yes, it is definitely freezing. Heather almost always walks to my house, but I always drive to her house. Unless I'm taking my daughter with me, then sometimes I drive. And then sometimes she really wants to walk, so we walk. But it's not that far. If it was snowing or a blizzard, I drive. That's true, that's true. I drive. I always drive.
00:12:34
Speaker
Yeah. That's not totally true. Sometimes she did walk in the summertime. In the summer when it's warm. Because it's warm. So I've lived probably three years, four years in Arizona before I moved here two years ago. And I became a wimp when it comes to cold.
00:12:53
Speaker
I don't know what it is. I don't know how
Coping with Climate and Podcast Mission
00:12:55
Speaker
it happened. I know, but I grew up in Seattle where I'm like, I love the rain. So you think I'd be used to the cold, but, and it's not even the first time I've lived in Utah. So you think I know what I was getting myself into. You were just, uh, what's that word? Not climinated. That's not a word. Um, what's the word we're really. Climatized, climatized.
00:13:17
Speaker
We're really smart, I promise. SMRT. For reals though, on a serious note, this is just going to be really exciting. I hope that you feel the energy that we're bringing. And I'm just really excited that you've joined the sex and math contest. I'm really excited too. This is going to be a lot of fun. It is going to be a lot of fun. I'm so happy you asked me. Me too. I did it in a very passive way, but I did.
00:13:47
Speaker
I literally was like, Hey, what happened to your podcast? And she was like, I took a break. I took a break. I needed a break. And that's okay. Because I really needed a mental break. And plus, it was the holidays. And looking back, I don't regret it that I took the break.
00:14:05
Speaker
Um, the only part that I regret is that I didn't inform others that I was taking a break. I literally would check every Thursday and I was like, where's her podcast? But I didn't want to be like, hey, where's your podcast? Have integrity with yourself Heather. Like I tell her all the time. This morning, literally, I didn't want to go to the gym. She's like, you said you were going, now we're going. Truth. This is fact. But yeah, we're just, I'm really excited. I'm glad. I'm glad. It's going to be,
00:14:31
Speaker
I just really want to uplift people. Yeah. I want to make you guys smile. And definitely laugh. And laugh. You can laugh at us. It's fine. But mostly laugh with us, okay? Yeah. Laugh with us. Please. Let's get this season started, guys. Woop woop. Yeah. And just remember, you know, to make someone smile every day. But also remember that you're someone too and you deserve to smile. Halle-freaking-lujah.
