Hi, it's Gemma's Begg, host of the Psychology of Your 20s. This September at the Psychology of Your 20s, we're breaking down the very interesting ways psychology applies to real life, like why we crave external validation. I find it so interesting that we are so quick to believe. leave others' judgments of us and not our own judgment of ourselves. So according to this study, not being liked actually creates similar pain levels as real-life physical pain. Learn more about the psychology of everyday life and of course, your 20s this September.

Okay, Susan, we're just going to get right into it today with the question of the day. Are you ready? I'm ready. All right. What do you think

settling in a relationship looks like? Do you think settling is always destined for failure. When you say the word always, that changes it, not always, sometimes, especially at our age, you know the things that you can tolerate, like not everybody's going to be perfect anymore. We're not looking for the husband or the father to be of our new children that we're going to have in our first house. It's a different look for me at this age. And yes, I guess people would say settle because of some things I do and and vice versa.

Yeah. How do you feel? Well, I kind of agree with you in that settling. It really depends. Don't you love how she says I kind of agree with you? Well, I don't want your head to swell. When you say settling at our age, we know that there's always compromise in a relationship. I think for me, I think people make the mistake sometimes of thinking, especially when they're younger, that compromise is settling and they're not the same thing.

But for me, the difference is settling is going against your core beliefs, your core wants and needs. Your checklist, if you will, settling is it doesn't all, he doesn't have everything that I really wanted. Well, no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. because nobody has everything that I, that you want or I want. That would be, you know, Mr. Perfect. And I, you know, if he's out there, please, you know, reach out to me at bachelornation.com slash golden hour. But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that there are certain things that I will not budge on. And, and when I was younger, for example, if the guy didn't look a certain way, I would have said, well, I'll settle for him.

That's settling in a younger, when you're younger, you settle. That's how you define it. For me, settling would be if I, now, if I dated a man who did not have integrity, I will never date a man who does not have integrity. And if I did, I would be settling. And I'll never do that. So I think it looks different. I think when you're younger, settling is, is,

has a different meaning. But I will compromise. I think. Oh, yes. Yeah. So. And I happen to agree the word settling when you're much younger is totally different than when you're older. Yeah. They just mean different things. I don't think that settling is always destined for failure depending on what you're settling. Yeah. I mean, these things are, life is fluid, right? We change. we mature. Couples hopefully grow together. Sometimes they grow apart. And it has nothing to do with quote unquote what they settled for. It, you know, sometimes I think as I read this, could it be, I've always wanted somebody that loved me unconditionally and you're going to settle because he loves you, but you're not as much in love with him. Like at least he

That's settling. That's settling. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't do that. I mean, no. I've got to be head over heels, right? Yeah, but I do think that relationships, I think relationships, I mean, that's a big bucket of things that break up relationships. But I don't think settling, if you're younger and you, you know, you get with a guy who isn't in the profession that you, you know, I want to marry a doctor or lawyer.

I think those are superficial. things that change day to day and no one cares. But I think if you settle, for example, if you, not you, Susan, but if somebody falls in love when they're young and they, the guy cheated on them, for example, and then they say, you know what, I love Johnny. I don't know, my poor son-in-law, I'm always using his name. It's easy to all. Yeah, that's the easy one.

I love you, Johnny. I love you, Sam. And Sam has said, you know, how apologetic. can he be it'll never happen again you know if it happens again and you settle well it's settling if you if so that's if you go to the beginning if you say i will never date i will never get in a serious relationship with a man who cheated on me if that's one of my core beliefs right and i but i'm so in love with sam that i think i'm the bees knees he'll never cheat on me and then he does i've settled right I've gone against my core belief.

And so that may blow up in my face. That's just how I look at it. I think it depends on how big the settle is. That's what we've said before. Exactly what it is you're settling for. So, Susan, could you help me find the guy so I can decide whether I'm willing to settle or not? All right. Now it's time to get to our listener writings.

I'm going to start us off today. Haley writes. Hello, Kathy and Susan. First of all, I am a big fan of both of us. So I am 21 years old and most of my friends have or had boyfriends already or talking to guys and some of my friends are shyer than I am. I have tried some dating apps in the past, but I've always ended up deleting them because I never ended up talking to guys.

I don't really get out that much regardless if it's with my friends or by myself. I was just wondering if you guys have any advice for me on how I should get out more or something like that. Kathy, can I answer this for you? I know what you're going to say. Join a meet up, join a hobby. Actually, I love you. That is part of what I was going to say. We definitely know each other, Susan.

But actually, you know what I was going to say? First thing is, Haley, I find it very interesting that you say most of my friends have or. had boyfriends already or at least talking to guys and some of my friends are shyer than I am and well I think that's interesting that you say that because I think based on what you've written you're exceptionally shy and so I think before you put the cart before the horse and that is before you jump into clubs and things which are going to be impossible for you to do because you're so shy I would work on bringing yourself out a little bit a little bit a little bit bit at a time. Can you imagine being as shy as she is and going on a dating app to meet someone

you've never met? Well, this is what I'm reading. She ends up deleting them because she never ends up talking to guys. So if somebody messages her, Haley, are you not responding? Is that it? That's what I'm saying. Can you imagine if you're that shy, it's hard enough to go on a date, right? With someone you don't know. Imagine being really shy and having to talk with them on the, I mean, Haley, give yourself a break here. What I would tell you to do is find your, here's my advice to you. Go find your friends, the girlfriends that you have, and hang out with them in small groups, with their boyfriends, some with their boyfriend, some not, and just get used to being around guys. So use your friends as a gateway. to help you learn how to navigate dating and or maybe do a road trip a trip like sign up for a trip so it's a group thing you go maybe it's singles maybe not but you have people chaperone if you will a tour guide and get out into the world i love you i love you you just told you know what you just told her you just told her listen we're not going to start

with lessons on how to float or kick your legs. We're going to take you up on the 20-meter board and have you do a dive. That is not going on the 20-meter board. You're going on a tour with a group of people that you don't know. She can't even talk to guys on the internet. You think she's going to get out and take a trip. I think you've lost your mind. Really?

No. It's a great way to meet people. I'm not disagreeing with you. And it's a great way you're on your own, yet you still have the security of being. in a group. She doesn't know anyone. The girl is shy. I know. Nobody does when you go on a group trip. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? Bachelor Nation, you got to write in on this one. I think she's got to take baby steps and the baby step is not going off to, you know, Ethiopia. No, don't say it's not. That's your opinion. That's only your opinion. It's not a definite not.

Well, Haley, I'm on your team and I think, sweet girl, you, I get it. I'm not. I'm not. I get it. I'm not shy. Susan's not shy in case you didn't notice. Neither one of us is shy. But I think you got to take a little step with your friends. Go out and just try to be a little more talkative. Take a baby step towards, it's hard, but it's only hard, Haley, until you get out and try it. And you say, Haley, that you don't get out that much, regardless whether it's with your friends or by yourself, your first goal is to get out a little bit more. That's right. Whether it's go to church or go to, like you're saying, an activity or join some kind of a club. Yeah, but don't jump off a 20-meter board.

Go on a trip. But I do think. Just call me. I'll go with you. I'm saying, let me just say, when you ask Haley real quickly before we move on, how should I get out more? You know how you do it, Haley? You do it. And you'll be scared, but it'll get easier.

That's how you do it. not even be fun the first time. Well, you know. Good. Let's be a little more positive. No, because I don't want her to give up after trying once. It'll get better every time. You'll get a little more confidence in yourself.

And let us know, Haley. We'll want to hear about this. We hope you get out. I want to hold her hand, Kathy. Yeah. Well, and we're a big fan of you, Haley. 21 is tough. Give yourself some grace, girlfriend.

It's going to get easier. Just take it a step at a time. Thanks for reaching out to us. Hey, everybody, this is Matt Rogers. And Bowen-Yang. And you're never going to guess who's our guest on Lost Cultureistas. It is Bradley Jackson, L. Woods, Tracy Flick, herself. Reese Witherspoon.

It must go in a girls' trip. I have to have a tequila. We must. Oh! The Q rating. When they run diagnostic on here. We can run it on you guys. I'd be scared.

You don't run the Q rating. No, on the Q rating. My resiliency score is down to adequate because we were on a red eye. My resiliency score. My grit. I got to get my grit score up. Now, don't think that you're going to come out Los Culturistas, the podcast, and we're not going to at least bring up Big Little Lies season three.

Whoever said orange is the new pink. We seriously disturbs. Listen to Las Culturistas on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcast. podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, West West, Prop here from Hood Politics with Prop Podcasts. You already know I get down. If you grew up in our urban areas

of comfort of struggle, you understand politics much more than you giving credit for. Fans taking over American cities, government hop-out boys, hopping out the van, snatching up your Theo and them, two wars that was supposed to be solved in 24 hours. Jerry just out here,

mandering all over the place, the turfs, and of course the Epstein of it all. Well, this week, we decided to shoot our shot, and boy, did we pull up from the logo, to see if we could get somebody to come tap in with us. And the one and only Jamil Hill pulled up from this politics podcast to keep it a whole century. The American public is used to being entertained. We're a consumption society. So what Trump figured out is entertain them, and they'll never question you.

questionable advice and hot takes. God, that sucks so hard though. I'm so sorry. Can you out petty them? Can you match their pettiness for funsies? Yeah. We had so much fun last season, laughing, crying, talking to some new and old friends. Remember when we were in that

scene where you guys were just supposed to hug and I was standing. Oh, yeah. And I was like, can I also hug them? I'm like, this f*** has no friends. And this time around, we are,

say it, Melissa. Should I? Say it. Getting a little more better. Oh, finally. It's all the dressing room talks you've loved in season one. All the things.

The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed.

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal, glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulance. is just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and Order Criminal Justice System is back. In Season 2, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight.

That's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're get your podcasts. Do you want to hear the secrets of serial killers, psychopaths, pedophiles, robbers? They are sitting there waiting for the vulnerable thing. They're waiting for the unprotected. I'm Dr. Leslie, forensic psychologist.

I advocate for safety and awareness of predators while wearing pink. When you were described to me as a forensic psychologist, I was like snooze. We ended up talking for hours and I was like, this girl is my best friend. This is a podcast where I cut through the noise with sarcasm, satire, and hard truths. I'm not going to fake it and force it for me. But would you force an orgasm? Because that's like a different layer. The car accident you didn't want to see but couldn't turn away from.

In this episode, I discussed personal safety and self-defense tools, instincts, and strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in everyday life and high-risk situations. Listen to intentionally distinctions. on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, let's move on. Anonymous writes, Hi, ladies, I need to know if I'm overreacting or just some thoughts in general. I work with this guy for context. I'm 26 and he's 24. I work mornings and he works nights. We usually see each other for barely an hour. We banter all the time, but just shoot the shit at work. We hit it off great, but it's just flirty banter, in my opinion. I kept stating in general that I just wanted friends to go out with

and hang with because I moved here last year and don't know many people. He eventually gave me his number like two weeks later, and we started texting. He made it known that he was attracted to me and that he wanted to hang out this upcoming week. We ended up texting not stop for like four days straight, but he just kept coming off as flirty, and I wasn't giving in to any of it, strictly giving friendship vibes on my end. I thought, oh, let's keep an open mind, but it just seemed like the more we texted, he kept making it known he was super into me. I figured the night out would be a, quote, date to him. It didn't end up happening. He started making it seem sexual and like he just wanted to bang. And so I made it clear. I just wanted to be friends and I'm not looking for

anything serious. He then said, oh, so it seems like we're on the same page and said, let's just take it day by day and see what happens. Meaning, if we hang and it happens then, so be it. I feel played. I feel like an object. I made this all clear and said, I don't think we should be friends anymore because I thought he genuinely wanted to be friends. He ended up apologizing and saying he was high all night and wanted to be friends and was like 80% joking. I feel icky. We were vibing so well. You were?

Sorry, that was editorializing. And I was excited for the friendship. Am I being dramatic? We see each other at work and he tries to talk to me and text me occasionally, but I'm a bit uncomfortable and bummed. I know it was just him making comments and nothing more. So am I in the wrong? But at the same time, it made me feel super weird.

and like he wasn't coming with good intentions. It just felt like zero to a hundred. What do you think, Susan? I have mixed feelings. Each paragraph, I thought another way. In the beginning, it was, some people might call it flirting, but it was just banter. And when a man notices that a woman's giving him attention,

that's a normal process. And then you're exchanging numbers. So I think you were taken back by all the texting and such, but that's, maybe you should have said it in the very beginning. But then she thought, well, maybe, right? And then he did apologize. He was out of line. He got too carried away and was still willing to just be friends and get to know each other. Because you don't know, sweetheart.

You might have liked the guy. Who knows? He came on a little strong. Yeah. But unfortunately. And, you know, I've been accused of the same thing. Like, I'm giving somebody attention. They think I'm flirting with them.

And I'm not. I just want to have somebody to laugh with or, you know. So I get what she's saying, but. So I'm agreeing with you mostly. Okay. I agree with you. I think she should have said it up front. Like I have nobody to hang out with.

Yeah. I'm looking for a friend. But that's okay. And then, like you said, she was going to keep an open mind. here's where I here's where it goes a little off for me when he started making it sexual and he then said so it seems like we're on the same page and said let's just take it day by day and see what happens that was her opportunity to say I just want to be friends I think she feels played because he was like hey maybe it'll turn into sex something sexual that was

or maybe it would turn into something a little more but she says she feels played so I'm seeing a little disconnect here all you had to say anonymous was you shouldn't feel played you should have made your intentions

very clear and then and you didn't so you know he's a guy and we all know guys do what guys do unfortunately and and he did apologize but here's the thing when he says he was I'm high all night.

I was like, whoa, red flag. Yeah, that's a little bit of a flag. But then he says he wanted to be friends and was 80% joking, which, you know. 80% what that statement told me was he is interested. And he'll back down and let you come to. I think she's being a little bit dramatic, but she's also new to this town, right? She doesn't know many people. And that's scary.

She's being careful. I get it. I'm saying I think I don't you know me I'm always like to female power and all that but anonymous I've got to say you know I don't care if he's high I don't care if he's 80% serious I don't get to try to put the moves on you all you had to say was hey Johnny I'm slow your role slow your role I'm in this for a friendship and if it felt like it was zero to a hundred girlfriend it's because you didn't apply the brakes yes And you initiated the banter, like, well, I don't know who initiated, but you did. You look like you were having fun together. Let's take it outside of work and see if we still have fun. He's an idiot for starting to get all that, you know. Oh, yeah, whatever.

But I don't think you should be all uncomfortable. Here's where I would take it, Anonymous. If you are interested in having it as a friend, then I would say to him, hey, let's put all this behind us. You know, we work together. Let's start a. I'd love to be your friend. Let's go out and get a cheeseburger or whatever it is that, you know, you'd want to do. Give out the friend vibes.

You know, talk about friend stuff and see if you can make a friend out of this because you are new to the town and he could become a good friend of yours. So I'm wishing you well. I hope that you make a good friend from him. And I also hope that you're more clear with guys the next time. If you're really only interested in friendship. I mean, I understand. But it's up to us.

as women to say to a guy, if he's putting the moves, always, I don't care at any age, Susan. And you know I've just been through this with a guy who is very interested in me. And I only see him as a friend. And I've had to tell him three times. And that's on me. I think that he keeps hoping for more, hoping maybe he can hope, you know what? As my ex-father-in-law used to say, you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first. All right, I'm excited about this next one.

Okay, before we move on, we actually have an update from one of our listeners. Are you so excited? I'm so excited. All right. Okay, so hi, ladies. I don't know if you remember that this time last year, I reached out for advice because I was so nervous about moving in with my boyfriend. I was so independent and happy living on my own. Well, I'm appreciative.

of that time I had with myself. It's been a year living with my boyfriend, and it's been great, by the way. I am a girl that was asked in the episode. I laughed at the joke you said about me treating this like jail time,

aka moving in with my boyfriend. I think you said that. Ironically, that episode came out on the day I moved out of my apartment. It's the universe. I listened to it while I got ready to pack up the last of my things and move. It was so special hearing your advice at the time I needed it most.

I know. I got goosebumps. It's been a wonderful year of growth for our relationship. And I think there's an engagement coming soon. I got goosebumps. Okay, wait. Can they just interrupt for one second? If you're listening, we just need you to know that Susan's a wedding officiant.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'll be there. Anyways, thank you for lightening the mood with my concerns and helping me with my nerves. I still miss my old girl apartment at times, but this has been a wonderful move for me and my boyfriend, and we are finally looking forward to future plans. Thank you, Kathy and Susan. P.S. Kathy is a star on Bachelor in Paradise.

Love you guys. Oh, thank you. I love this. I love this. I don't know about you, Susan. And this update has made my day because you and I have so much fun doing this podcast and dishing out advice. And as we always say, we're not psychologists or anything, but we've lived a lot of life

and to get such a fabulous update. I'm so happy for... We don't think we just do it on air. We talk about these things afterwards. And we always are curious. I wonder whatever happened with. Or I wonder if she hit him with the bat. Or I wonder...

No, that was you, Susan. I'm so happy for you. I hope that there is, I hope that there is a wedding in your future. Please let us know. Yes, and I get to marry them. Yeah. And if Susan comes, I come, we come as a team. Absolutely.

All right, we are going to move into Ready Susan. We're going to have some girl chat. Girl chat. And we're doing this instead of a game. So this should make you happy. This is sort of like our golden spotlight. Only this segment is for women of all ages. Today, we're talking all about bodily changes.

We'll be giving off some rapid fire advice. Okay, I'm going to start us off for the first prompt. Okay. All right. Most women are taught that your body only changes during puberty and when you get pregnant. Have you seen your body change over the years? Oh, Joe God, do bear shit in the woods? Come on.

The bear shit in the woods. I mean, yeah. How much of, I mean, not how much. What has the biggest change been for you since, let's call it, not puberty. Let's go with menopause. Oh, my God, complete change. What I was going to say was we change our bodies, everything, every seven years. It's a scientific.

What are we like snake shedding our skins? What are you talking about? No, but we do. Our body chemistry changes. We are constantly changing. When it comes to our bodies, we definitely. have seen changes. Some good, some bad, some, you know what I mean? That's life. Yeah. It's not just that puberty is big, true, because your boobs pop out and you're,

you know, you get a period and all that, being a woman, that is. And it's going to change continually. I think, yes, I agree, but I do think, for those of you listening with, with girls, young and daughters who are maybe in their 20s, 30s, 40s, whatever, I don't think there is enough conversation about how much our bodies change after childbearing years, after menopause. And as you say, it keeps changing. But the good news is there are lots of things that we can do to help us feel better. It's not necessarily, I mean, everyone knows you and I did those lower facelifts. that's about making us feel better, but I'm talking about there's things that we can do to make

our bodies feel better and not just exercise, there's supplements, there's all kinds of treatments that you can have and exercising that will stave off, if you will, the bad parts of getting older, because aging is not all fun and games. And the most important part, like you said, and I'm going to elaborate on it, Kathy, is knowing that this is normal, being educated. Right. You start it with most women are taught that your body changes during puberty

and then again when you get pregnant. And then it stops. The conversation stops. Oh, my goodness. You're still growing taller. You're still growing wider or thinner or it's just... But I think the conversation is the three biggest things are, well, birth, of course,

but puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. And I think so little, women, I don't know, feel, I don't feel this way, but I think women feel shame sometimes because, you know, they can't have children anymore and what they're not useful anymore. And, I mean, I've talked to some women in their 60s. I didn't think that. I didn't either. The waistline went with menopause. You know what?

I never got a waste. And that is a body change. I mean, we can't control it. I don't care how much you. exercise, your body changes. And it's hormonal. All of this is hormones. But I will say, I have to say one thing. A lot of women on my social media, they'll write to me things like, wow, Kathy, you look great. What's your trick? And I'm going to say it right here. There are no tricks. You know, Susan, I work out, I lift weights, I power walk five, five, six miles every day.

But I take, I do it because it makes me feel better, but it also helps me look better. It keeps my body, my bones, you know, motion is lotion, right? And so I think some people use menopause as an excuse to, you know, sit down in the chair and eat ice cream and their best days are behind them. And what about if you have a child, the next one's saying like, yes, everything changes. Your hip width changes because the baby, most babies come through the canal. I mean, it's part of nature. Yeah. And you know what advice I have for those women?

Be so grateful that you were able to bring you and your partner were able to bring this miracle to life. And again, eat well, get rest, work out. Your body's going to change. It's about being healthy. It's about doing the things that will make you feel good about yourself. But it does change during pregnancy. So what? It does.

But that's okay. That's what I mean. That's right. And the letter C comes after the letter B. That's right. Expect it to change. And some things go back to normal. Something's don't.

I mean, I am going to tell you those perky boobs. Your boobs fall down to your waist. Save your pennies and haven't brought back up. That's all. Yeah. Well, I was going to say deflated balloons. But, you know, they still get the job done.

You know, I've never had a man turn away from me because my boobs were not, you know, coming out of my neck. So that's my advice. So, Kathy, what are some unexpected changes that you noticed at any age? Like how you carry your weight or did anything happen that felt out of the blue? Like you shared with us that when you were young, you were heavier. Yes. And that big change came when you made up your mind and you started your walking and you're

exercising and you're extremely fit. But that came out of the blue, right? What came out of the blue? You made up your mind. I am not going to be 200 pounds. Yes. Well, it didn't come out. Yes, it sort of came out of the blue, but yes, it came out of the blue in that I made a choice. You made a choice. I think unexpected changes are just the ones you don't know about. Like, you know, all women know this dryness during sex. I mean, That, you know, that was unexpected. I didn't think it was going to happen quite as quickly as it did. But again, there's lots of things you can do for that.

There's ways around it. There's ways around it. So I don't know. Unexpected. I think it's everyone's responsible for educating themselves, don't you? And so if you're feeling these changes, I think sometimes depression, women feel depressed. Well, that comes out of the blue sometimes too. Right.

The best days of their. body that's your chemistry and you know the serotonin and so yeah like yes and i and i think i i mean it didn't really happen for me i but i already know i'm a weirdo i i don't feel like my best days are behind me i feel like there's great days ahead of me i'm living great days i've lived great days i think that is um something that women i wish more women would be motivated to do what it takes to feel better about themselves. Does that make sense? Kathy, this is a perfect question for you. What advice would you give to young women struggling with their body image, especially in today's world filled with Ozzympic and AI?

Well, again, my advice is what I just said. First of all, most of the pictures you see on social media, everything's airbrushed. They've done everything they can to reconstitute a picture to make that person look like Barbie. And that's not reality. But what advice are you going to tell these? My advice is don't pay attention to what you see on social media. As far as Ozempic and those things, if you need OZempic, I'm a purist. If you need OZempic, I think it's for treat diabetes, right? Yes, my sisters are both on it. Right. You know my sister lost 45 pounds, but she's no longer a diabetic. And she said that the doctor, are you going to take me off now? said no. That's what's keeping you from being it. So it does help some people. So, but here's the

thing. The question was women struggling with their body image. I have a problem and I guess Ozempic is never going to come to me and offer me a brand deal, but I don't subscribe to women using drugs off label that have not been studied enough. The studies are now coming out that not such a good things. So I feel like the advice is eat healthy, work out. Don't look for a quick fix for your body. I have to call you out on something, girlfriend, and it's because I love you. And I tell you this often. You still struggle with body image. I know I do. What's your point? You're giving advice out. You need to follow your own advice. You look absolutely amazing. And I'm not going to say for your age. You look amazing. If anything, you're too skinny, but you pick out the

flaws. Now, we're here to give advice for people struggling like you. Yes, my advice. So what would you tell that? The advice is try, I try to be kind to myself. I have body dysmorphia. You and I talk about this. So I'm saying be kind. I try to look in the mirror and say, it's okay. It's okay, Kathy. You look okay. And when you put a dress on and you see the picture, how great you looked. On Paradise, you look fabulous in your dresses. Doesn't that, like, help? It does help, but Paradise, that's a tough, that was a really tough one for me. And we've talked about this. Because you're around old 20 and 30 years. Well, these girls look like, I mean, I love them all dearly, but I was the only one, not in a bikini. Well, some of the goldens were not.

But, you know, body image is a real thing. I, and I think it's honestly, Susan, worse, worse for younger people because they're so invested in AI and social media. And what I want them to know is that's not real. So I do the best I can. I work out. I eat well. I try to tell myself and that's, I try to self-talk and that would be my advice. Also, we've come a long way since everybody looked like twiggy when I grew up and now they're full body models and way bigger girls wearing. No, they call them curvy. Call them curvy. That's the label now. Well, I don't care what the label is, but it's okay to be a bigger or thicker or, you know, full-bodied. It's okay today.

That, but I does not negate the fact, it does not negate the fact that I want all women, men, children, everyone to eat healthy, exercise, and the goal should not be to be skinny as a rail so you fit into your size twos, whatever.

The goal should be to feel good, to look healthy, to have energy, to be able to move your body in a healthy way. So I know I sound like a preacher here, but I wish beauty standards. Eating healthy, I do that, but I also eat unhealthy. So do I. Everyone does. Everyone does. But I'm saying it's like everything in life moderation.
