I have a playful side and a sarcastic
0:02
side and and all of those other
0:04
attributes of my personality that I
0:06
don't share a lot in this space and I
0:09
think that I want to try to find a way
0:11
to challenge myself further by bringing
0:13
that side of my personality into this
0:15
space a little bit more often. I think
0:17
it'll be more fun and I think it's a
0:18
little bit more engaging. You know, it's
0:20
one thing to be able to lecture
0:22
slashshare articulately on a concept,
0:25
but it's another thing to be able to
0:26
relate with the material, especially
0:28
with somebody else, and then bring, you
0:30
know, more personal stories and things
0:31
that I can share to broaden the
0:34
accessibility and and relatability to
0:36
the concepts. So, I think that's part of
0:39
what I want to do. And it's more fun,
0:41
you know.
0:42
>> Yeah. Thanks for kind of going there and
0:44
leading the ways you typically do uh
0:48
with so much courage around it. I know
0:49
we've had these conversations around
0:52
being more timely with topics. You know,
0:55
you, as you mentioned, you know, you put
0:57
a lot of time into
0:59
>> writing episodes to make sure that
1:01
they're uh resource, that they're
1:03
concise, that you're getting a solid
1:05
message in a digestible amount of time.
1:08
And I've watched you over the years
1:10
have, you know, your script and your
1:12
notes and your teleprompter, whatever
1:13
that is, and you go off all the time
1:16
because as soon as you get going, it's
1:17
just so wrote.
1:18
>> Yeah. and standard for you. But to that
1:22
point of, you know, having to schedule
1:24
production, schedule studio time, you
1:27
know, carve it into your workday, that
1:29
was really part of why we've invested in
1:32
a season 3 and having a studio, right?
1:34
Is so that we can have more of that
1:36
really timely, we have a spark of some
1:39
idea or a topic that you want to speak
1:41
about. So, I'd like you to just take a
1:43
minute and hopefully your audience will
1:45
participate in comments and just talk
1:47
about what types of things are you
1:49
thinking about incorporating into season
1:51
3 beyond your structured kind of
1:54
psychoeducational lessons. I know we've
1:56
we've played with counselor cafe and
1:58
stuff before and you've talked about
1:59
bringing guests on remotes or just more
2:02
casual conversation. Like, how do you
2:04
see that playing out? Well, I I always
2:06
love audience engagement and some
2:08
friends and we were talking, I don't
2:10
know if you remember, went in San Diego
2:11
with our friends over there and she was
2:14
like, I think you need to do like the a
2:16
question and answer series and take uh
2:18
questions from the audience and do more
2:20
of that kind of thing because she's
2:21
like, I have a hundred questions that I
2:23
want to ask you. And so, we could maybe
2:24
do some like recording of questions and
2:27
have that be part of a series and maybe
2:29
we do something like that as as one of
2:31
the playlists. It's like just more
2:33
direct audience feedback and more
2:36
impromptu, you know, addressing of
2:38
specific content and areas of interest.
2:41
And I'm I love to do things like that on
2:43
the fly. And so I think we need to come
2:45
up with something like that. So if you
2:47
have ideas and you are interested in
2:50
specific, you know, areas of interest or
2:52
content, please definitely let us know
2:55
in the comments below. Like I said, I do
2:57
look at all of those and, you know, we
2:59
can we can address things if you want to
3:01
hear about them. In fact, I I just wrote
3:03
a show the other day that I'll be
3:04
filming this week in response to a
3:06
comment that somebody made. She said,
3:08
you know, you talked about one side of
3:09
that issue, but will you talk about the
3:11
other? It's really unfair. And I was
3:12
like, 100%. Thanks for bringing it to my
3:14
attention, and you know, I'm going to
3:16
deliver and I'm going to go tag her and
3:17
say, here's your episode. You asked for
3:19
it. And so, I really mean that and I'm
3:21
paying attention. I I do this for the
3:23
benefit of the audience. So I think that
3:25
I would like to have a little bit more
3:27
timely engagement with with the audience
3:29
and what are what do our viewers want to
3:31
hear and need to hear to benefit their
3:33
lives.
3:34
>> Yeah. Great. So help us help you and you
3:37
my suggestion kind of off the cuff would
3:39
be if there is a topic or a question you
3:41
know we kind of even thought of it like
3:43
a you know Dave Ramseyish like somebody
3:46
you know says hey I have this question
3:47
and we can just address those questions.
3:50
And so in the comments, if you have
3:52
something, I suggest you put season 3
3:54
AMA for ask me anything
3:56
>> and then that'll just help us kind of
3:58
float those things up and we can put
3:59
them together because I know we get a
4:01
lot of comments and some of them have to
4:03
go into the rated
4:05
NC17 category and then other ones are
4:08
just commentary and participation. But
4:11
you know, if you say season 3 AMA,
4:14
right, then we'll know that we can kind
4:15
of put those all together. I also had an
4:17
idea to do some lives and to do a little
4:20
bit more off the cuff if something comes
4:23
up that isn't um that isn't edited. It's
4:25
just straight film to to post. And so I
4:28
thought I'll do more of that too now
4:29
that we have just you know access to the
4:31
equipment readily available. I can do
4:33
that without too much effort. And there
4:34
are times and days you know sometimes
4:36
I'll have a day where something just
4:38
rubs me wrong and I'm fired up about it
4:40
and I want to talk about it and I don't
4:42
want to talk about it in a scripted way.
4:44
And so I want to do more of that too
4:45
since we have the, you know, this more
4:47
accessible for sure.
4:49
>> So when we think about this milestone,
4:53
100,000 people, we're going to post this
4:56
video. It's going to hit 100,000
5:00
people minimum.
5:02
What's that feel like? And how does how
5:05
does that play with your vulnerability?
5:07
That's like
5:10
when I pause to think about that, it
5:12
that's like that that's larger than some
5:14
cities. Like that's that's really weird.
5:18
Um it's really weird, but it's also
5:20
humbling. I think there's definitely a
5:22
lot of vulnerability in it. When I watch
5:24
things now and I watch, you know, sets
5:27
and other people's podcasts, I I really
5:30
study and I take what I like and I think
5:32
of ideas and ways that I I can
5:34
incorporate that because I'm learning
5:37
and it's it's a fun way to exercise a
5:40
creative side of me that I don't get to
5:41
do that much in my daily 9 to5 with with
5:44
being a therapist. And so it's been fun,
5:46
but it it is really vulnerable. And you
5:49
know, I could say something that ticks
5:51
somebody off, which I definitely have
5:52
done. Or be harmful um unintentionally
5:55
and have like an empathic failure, and
5:57
I've had that happen, too. So, I think
5:59
that I want to be thoughtful and kind
6:01
because that's one of my main values is
6:03
authenticity, but compassion. And so,
6:06
it's it is vulnerable. So, I do want to
6:07
be intentional and thoughtful, but it's
6:09
kind of a wild like that's a lot of
6:11
people. It's a freaking lot of people,
6:14
man. I think the one of the first
6:16
episodes I filmed with you and I watched
6:18
the cut of it and I stopped counting
6:22
after like 36 ums and I just like buried
6:25
my head under a pillow for like two days
6:27
and I was like I can't stand myself. So,
6:30
you know, thinking of like hundreds of
6:31
episodes and like and even just watching
6:34
you be less hard on yourself and being
6:36
more casual and hopefully that's coming
6:38
across for your audience as well, like
6:40
>> um you know, I think there's in the in
6:42
the modern era of AI,
6:44
>> there's a lot of stuff where people can
6:46
just kind of rattle things off and it
6:48
just comes through so clearly when
6:50
you're in your zone.
6:51
>> Yeah.
6:52
>> And talking about something that, you
6:54
know, you're very knowledgeable in or
6:56
you've had a lot of experience in or
6:57
you're very passionate about. So that
6:58
comes through and I personally have a
7:01
lot of gratitude for your vulnerability.
7:03
I share many of your videos with my own
7:06
clients, with colleagues,
7:08
>> uh, in my corporate job, with friends
7:10
and family, and they'll be talking about
7:12
something and and I'm like, "Ah, you
7:14
know, she's got an episode on
