Emotional Exploration and Personal Growth
00:00:56
Speaker
Alright, so we are officially starting the podcast. It's episode one Sorry, right? Are you excited? and I'm very excited. Yeah, also a little scared me too I think that's so normal when you start on a new endeavor Especially something where we are putting ourselves out on um Yeah, yeah for everybody to look at yeah Yeah, freaky yeah um but it's cool. I'm excited for what we're gonna do what we're gonna talk about. What are we gonna talk about? Well, we're gonna talk a lot about healing especially in a family system, which is also very scary and It is. But in a good way. Yeah. It is a good thing. It's necessary. Yeah. So how did we get here? like That's a funny question.
00:01:48
Speaker
I mean, I think that you have a lot more background with how you got here um and everything that you've been through so far. I'm kind of just following in your footsteps, which is exciting. yeah You're like my little mentor, but I teach you a lot too. Oh, you you are. You are definitely one of my teachers, for sure. And I'm really happy. And I feel like I'm going to cry, but um it's okay. Yeah. We're used to that. We are used to that. And that's one thing that we will talk about is just allowing emotions to filter through instead of stopping them, which is part of healing. so And being uncomfortable with feelings. Exactly. Even though they are uncomfortable. Right.
00:02:36
Speaker
And starting to learn how to be comfortable with knowing that that's just part of the human experiences. Exactly. Having emotions. They're just energy. Trying to pass through. And they have to. They have to. Or they stay. Or they stay. And we... possibly get a disease or we don't use our voices in the ways that that we're meant to. Exactly. We lose our power. Yeah. So this podcast this episode of the podcast with the introduction is just really to
00:03:11
Speaker
hopefully entice you all into following along on our journey of continued healing as a mother and a daughter and and possibly you know join us in expanding and growing into all of the possibilities of learning a new way of being. Right, exactly. Yes. um Yeah. And we're still learning a lot, too. Oh, every day. And our opinions, you know, they're not going to be exactly what everybody else thinks, too. And that's OK. And we want to hear that, though. Right. You know, we want to get feedback. um We don't want to say anything that's going to.
00:03:54
Speaker
Sounds super crazy, but but that we probably will. But the crazy part is is that, you know, a lot of the things that we're going to talk about could possibly trigger people. Oh, definitely. Definitely. um But it's it's never, you know, what we're trying to do is is upset anyone, but just like possibly broaden your ability to know that this human experience is You know, we're all we all struggle and we all have dynamics within our family systems that that are rough. Yeah.
Understanding Relationships and Family Dynamics
00:04:32
Speaker
Yeah. And I think a big thing that is going to come from this or that has come from this already is
00:04:41
Speaker
being able to be aware of why you're the way you are, why your relationships are the way they are, um you know, because it's different for everybody. Yeah. And we have our own personal stories that we're going to share, and some of them are going to be hard to share, but Yeah, it's for people to realize that nobody is perfect. And we're all going through that stuff. Exactly. And so and I just I think that's so beautiful that you said, you know, it it really does start with us looking at the way we show up. Right.
00:05:17
Speaker
because it's really easy to blame. You know, it's really easy to blame our parents and it's really easy to blame others for what's going on. But in every situation, you know, we show up and we are the ones that are
00:05:38
Speaker
we're the ones that like bring something into it as well. You know, so, I mean, obviously there's always like, there's things that abuse and things like that. So we're not saying that, you know, we're not going to say that it's always two parts to it. Exactly. Everybody's situation is going to be different. Yeah, exactly. Mm-hmm. But yeah, so, huh? I guess that's a little glimpse. That's a little, like, we're gonna go and into some into some places that are gonna be definitely uncomfortable. Oh yeah. Yeah. Even for us to talk about, even if we've already talked about it. Yeah, exactly. know Yeah. We're probably gonna unravel some stuff that we haven't even talked about together, too.
00:06:26
Speaker
So that'll be fun. You guys can see that firsthand. Yes. But we did want to share a few topics that we have already picked out for probably the next month of recording. um And we did also want to kind of Let you guys in on what we are planning like our schedule for releasing everything um It might be a little bit rocky in the beginning. I'm just trying to get everything, you know Yeah, this is a new endeavor and and I think that's well actually I know that's something that we're both working on healing is like that perfectionism and needing to show up in a certain way and so instead of like We we we actually did do a lot to prepare just to get to this point, yeah but it was like, we just need to go for it and start already. And so yeah, it might be rocky, but we're being led here for a
Inspirations and Origins of the Podcast
00:07:27
Speaker
reason. exactly I mean, we both showed up wearing but almost the same exact shirts. So it was, there's just a lot of signs and synchronicities that are lining up.
00:07:41
Speaker
Yeah, it was funny. She texted me, what are you going to wear? And I was like, oh, I'll probably just wear like the blue shirt that's in like our what do you even call that the podcast picture or whatever. her Yeah. And I was like, yeah, I'll just wear that blue shirt and black pants. So there's a little consistency there. And then I was like, actually, I don't want to wear that. I'm going to just change and then walk over there. And we're wearing like the same thing. I know we're both wearing a little black crop top and colorful pants. It's funny. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah.
Addressing Generational Trauma and Communication
00:08:14
Speaker
But with that being said earlier I was saying oh yeah um a few of the topics that we were
00:08:21
Speaker
already planning on talking about have some plans for um is going to be understanding and figuring out generational trauma. h and And you know what that means. Yes. And then how you can overcome that together and how you can work on it together.
00:08:44
Speaker
And then we're also going to be talking about speaking your truth and what that means and healing through communication together. And so really talking about. yeah Yeah, it's really important. It is important. Learning how to communicate in a way that you know both people feel safe and feel like they're being heard, et cetera, et cetera. We'll probably go on for a while on that. Yeah, that's going to be a good one. Yes.
Journey to Self-Love and Commitment
00:09:16
Speaker
And then one of the last things that we have planned so far so far um is just gonna be you know kind of working towards that path to self-love. What that means, yeah it's where we're at on our path to self-love, all that good stuff. It's really, really important. like It's probably the number one most important thing to being able to heal is being able to learn how to love yourself and give you the give the love that you need to yourself on a daily basis to nurture yourself. So yeah, so those are really exciting topics. Yes, they are. Very scary topic. In a good way. It makes me think of like, choose your hard.
00:10:07
Speaker
Like what we're gonna be talking about is very hard, right but it's also hard to not journey through facing the things that are holding you back or facing the things that are possibly bringing you any anxiety or depression or any of the things that so many people struggle with, you know, now it's choose your heart. Exactly. yeah And so, with those ideas, um we are planning to put um an episode out every week, um yeah every Monday, specifically. I guess we don't have an exact time, but just every Monday, hopefully. um
00:10:49
Speaker
And I mean, I guess if, you know, we might fall back on that on accident or something, we'll definitely put something on our Instagram or try to keep you guys in the loop as much as possible. Yeah, we're going to be in flow of life, but also yeah very committed to this community because we do want to grow it and we're very passionate about it. And we do have a lot of upcoming life events that might cause yeah this to get a little bit hard in a sense, but we might not always be in the same room. We're gonna roll with the punches. We're gonna roll with it and we're gonna make it happen and we possibly will have guests on. At some point we've already had some people reach out. Exactly. yeah
00:11:31
Speaker
But, yeah. And, um well, I did want to just kind of say thank you to the Steph and
Role Transition and Overcoming Insecurities
00:11:43
Speaker
Craig show. Yes. That honestly was, I feel like one of the pivotal reasons why I was drawn to wanting to start a podcast. Right. Because I was on with them. and I just honestly felt like this opening and I felt like so excited about sharing and um yeah so thanks Steph and Craig for inviting me on your podcast. Yeah and it was beautiful. I love podcasts and when she was like oh I'm gonna be on a podcast I was like whoa that's cool and then it came out and you know the way that they
00:12:24
Speaker
really release their, I don't know, I guess ah it's almost like trailers to the podcast or whatever you want to call it. When I watched it, I was like, whoa, she's so cool up there. Yeah. um Yeah. And I was like, gung ho. I was like, I'm going to start a podcast. And then I watched it and then I cried because I was like, Jesus. so You know, it's a hard thing, the podcast, what it it was about. The episode was. Yeah. You said stuff that they said. Yeah. am And then I literally was like...
00:12:56
Speaker
I started making all these notes and then Chloe was just, you were literally just gonna help me. You were just gonna like edit and do things. And then Chloe's like, oh, I put some notes down. And so when I looked at the notes and she put guest as herself, you put a guest as yourself, I was like, wait a second. you are willing to be on camera and everything with me? And when you said yes, I was like, wow. That was even though I was like, uh, you know, no, it's like, I definitely knew that I wanted to do it. Um, but I've also had this idea in my head that like, I don't want to be all over social media. Like, yeah.
00:13:49
Speaker
but now I've realized that that's my like my in confidence in myself and right those things that like I don't want to put myself out there because I wasn't like I don't think I'm like ready but um it's hard you know because as we know there's some people that aren't very nice on social media. you know And there are gonna be judgments. oh yeah And and we were we will have those things happen. And that's that part of what we're gonna talk about is like getting to the point of loving ourselves and knowing that you know what we're sharing is to help.
00:14:38
Speaker
Is your phone going off right now? I'm so sorry. I don't know who's doing that right now. I thought it was on Do Not Disturb. We'll just pretend that never happened. That's okay. and's so i just It's okay. You know what? Yeah, you never know. But um i'm just I just want to say that I'm extremely honored and also proud of you for showing up like this. Because yeah, I feel like it's going to be a really fun time. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm excited that you actually wanted me to do this. Of course I do. And I think it, yeah, it's going to be really cool. And you know, I'm 22. Yeah.
00:15:22
Speaker
I'm a fresh adult who doesn't have everything figured out. Definitely. I still don't have everything i know figured out. And that's another thing that we have to learn that we just, that's okay. It's, it's okay not to have everything figured out. And a lot of times when we think we do have it figured out, Nope, something else comes up, exact you know? So it's more of just is never ending learning. It is it's learning and it's trusting and being open. to pivots and shifts and changes. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Well, OK. Well, I think that was pretty good. Yeah, I think we think we did that. Yep. So and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was fun. Yeah, exactly. It's learning. Right.

Closing Mantra and Listener Engagement
00:17:12
Speaker
Do I remember? Don't judge her. Oh, there was this mantra that came to me. And um we're gonna, at the end of every show, we're gonna say it. But I do feel like I need to kind of say a little bit about it real quick. Yeah, go for it. um
00:17:33
Speaker
Yeah. I just, one of the biggest ways that we limit ourself is by judging ourselves and by even judging others. And so it's don't judge her, just love her. And that can be to you or to anyone else. Yeah. Okay. Don't judge her, just love her. all right all right thank you but ohha
