I hate gift giving and receiving receiving gifts is so weird. What do you say? Thank you?
This is coffee convos with Kale Lowry and Lindsay Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels Kale
That does not interest me whatsoever. I feel very attacked by you a spirited discussion about motherhood friendship
Family and life in the public eye. I'm just not with the fakery anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here. Here's Kale and Lindsay
Hello kitty gang
Oh my god
Wait before we even get started
I love all the technical difficulties that we have been having over the past couple of weeks
I don't know if this is like
bad vibes or if this is just
Technology really testing us at this point or what's going on but Kale is joining from her phone today
So hello Kaleen
I think I have the exact same issues that you were having. I think last week and I don't know
I feel like the universe is just like resetting us like this is like a much needed sign that we need to just like reset
So I hope you guys can hear me well
I am I have my phone propped up on a roll of toilet paper and I'm sitting at my desk
Just so that it's like closer to my mouth. I'm glad that you aren't sitting on the toilet because yeah, I actually yeah
I haven't had like
Super unexpected diarrhea in a long time. So we can all be thankful for that. Oh, wow. So
Speaking of that, how how is the bowel movements?
Oh
There goes my computer. I restarted it when she is there. She goes. I hope that she works when she comes back on my
Bowel movements are
Still very runny, but they're not like I'm not like shitting my pants lately. So that's good
I actually I'm sitting at my computer desk in my office at home and I bought this therapy light and
It's called day light like I don't I don't know it's a therapy lamp my my therapist told me about it
And you like sit in front of it for like 20 to 30 minutes a day and it's supposed to help
So I started yesterday. I'm gonna take a picture and we can post it
But I don't know if anyone else has ever tried one
I'm hoping that it starts to work like this is exciting
Suspiciously sounds like the asshole bleaching
Mmm, so you think that it wouldn't work I'm starting to think you might be a conspiracy theorist. Oh
Oh, it's like well crystals the
We find Kale in her backyard with her butthole to the Sun and now we are doing
Therapy lamps like this is a pattern of behavior
At this point is it like more holistic
Yeah, that's what I was that's the word I was looking for a whole list of it is
alternative approach to
normalcy not not in not in
Like by itself, it's like in conjunction with like medicine therapy
Doctors that are not holistic. It's kind of like I'm like doing the crunchy stuff on the side. I
Okay, you know is
literally
Doing crunchy on the side, but modern medicine on the forefront, right? Yeah
So it is does that mean it's party in the back or in the front? Which one is it? I would say party in the back
I think it's party party on the sides
We're adding sideburns to the mullet, you know, I
Love this wait. Okay. So can you tell me have you gone outside?
Anymore and bleached your asshole? I have not I
Really haven't but so that was a one-and-done or well, I never actually did it
Okay, so we were just talking about doing it. So you're because my
Neighbors would in fact even though they're far like their acres and acres away if they let their dogs out their front door
They would in fact see me sending my asshole
I'll tell you if I lived near-house. It was like a couple acres away. I for sure would own a pair of binoculars
Like I would be that person
but wait, can we just like back up for a second about this asshole bleaching thing because I
Really would like you to do a video if at all possible
To show like where this was gonna transpire was this gonna be on like a lounge chair
Were you just like bareback like on the ground?
the asshole bleaching I
Think I would go to a place. I don't think I would do it at home. Although
one of our
Former guests on coffee combos
I'm not gonna say who it is because I didn't ask her for permission
But she messaged me and she like sold out
Product for asshole bleaching on tiktok like she like sold it out and she like swears by it and she did it at home
We love that for her. I need to get on tiktok and find that product
And I'll let you guys know if I do find it and if I in fact bleached it
Outside of that. Can you tell me why you have a form of cats that are in your new home at this point?
and I saw a photo that you posted of Elijah on the
coffee combos fan page on Facebook and
I went on there and said you said something like
The statement was like I woke up from a nap. No, he woke up from a nap. Oh
He woke up from a nap to cat to new new kitty. Yeah new kittens and he did not agree to new kittens
Um
So I read that wrong
So I was like well
He would also be finding a new home because like the way that I read it was like he brought home all these cats
Oh, no, he's not a fan of the cats at all
Let's get into it
He's gonna be your best friend if you're also not a fan of the cats like he's not
He is not happy. He was not happy
but
He is
Truly a sport a good sport about it because he built me like this huge cat tree
And he cut a door a hole in the door
In a closet space for them to use the litter box
And so the litter box is like out of sight out of mind and it doesn't stink or anything
But yeah, he so but I only have two kittens in the house. There's only two kittens in the house the rest are out in the barn
Um
V and Joe had given me two kittens
They rescued from like literally a collapsing building or whatever and they were so back up
Why were V and Joe at a collapsing building? How many cats do you currently have and?
No, I have so many questions
Okay, why um
Um, so Joe does like real estate and he does he owns a home vestors franchise or whatever and so he buys
Houses and then like fixes them up and then rents them out
So I guess this was like, I don't know if this is like one of his properties
I hope it was for the sake of this podcast. I'm gonna say it is because
I don't know if that's like stealing if you don't
own it
And I'm not here to incriminate my son's father, but um
So
He they saved two kittens
There was more and a mom but like the other ones like disappeared and they never saw them again
So they were like here that these kittens you want them and I was like, yeah
And I tried to make them indoor cats like I tried to I had them in the house. I tried to have them in here
Um, Elijah also was not happy about that. Um, but they never were nice
Like we had them in the house for days and days. They were hissing
And just like not friendly. They're feral. They're feral cats
Um, and so they're in the barn the barn has litter food water shelter
Hey, um
All kinds of stuff like it's not like a it's not like
They're just like outside roaming but they do go outside and they're in the barn sometimes so there's
two grown barn cats that I rescued from
Um spca the spca literally called me because when I moved here, I was like, hey, do you guys have barn cats? Um
I'm moving to
A farm basically this was an old farm before I bought it
um, and
I'm looking for something to keep like the rodents away and obviously I would never make like an indoor cat an outdoor cat
Like I wouldn't do that. So these are feral cats
Um, they're adults. They're fixed and then we added the two kittens that joan v saved
To the barn cats and they're also there's four outside and then I have two inside but um
All the outside ones are fixed
But can I just tell you what happened to me this morning and I'm pissed off about it
Is it about the cats because if you're getting on another topic then no
Okay, no, it's about the cats. So, um
The kittens when I picked up the second adult barn cat from the spca that they like called me and asked if I wanted and I said, yeah
We Isaac and I saw these two little kittens in the spca and they're not from the same litter
They're a little bit ones a little bit older than the other whatever, but they're so fucking cute
We fell in love we needed the one of them and then I was like, do they do better in pairs and she was like, yeah
And I was like perfect. I'll take both
Um, and she's like, okay
She's like but since they're not old enough to like be adopted you have to foster them first
And that just basically means that you bring them to all their vet appointments
Um before you know until they get fixed and once they're fixed. They're officially yours. So I was like, okay bet
Well, I couldn't go on the actual day that they assigned me because I had to get the like emergency route canal
So I show up I made another appointment for this morning to take them to get fixed
Because they were supposed to get fixed this morning at between 8 and 8 30
I show up there not only is it closed
But this woman comes out and she's like, oh we actually
Our vet isn't coming in and we're we are not doing any surgeries and I was like, oh, okay cool
I'm like, well a phone call or a text would have been nice because now I have to go to a separate appointment for myself at 9
And I have these fucking kittens in the car. Oh my god. Okay. Well, first of all
I feel like that that is
A crazy thing that I've never heard that you
Do it's basically like a real adoption process with like a human
Yeah, because I think the whole idea for the spca is like making sure all the kittens and the dogs are fixed because they don't want the
population to like multiply
Yeah, so wait, can you tell me
How many cats that you actually have like on site at what I'm gonna now call as your farm
I have four outside two inside. So six
No, like literally
No, and two dogs because gizmo passed away. Okay, that's sad rip
um
I need to tell you that suburban dad sent me this photo and it goes along with like the cats
But this is a dead one
And we'll post it
It's so bad and I'm like I need everyone to write in and tell us like what their prediction is that happened to this cat
Um, but it's literally laid out and I'm not sure what possessed him to send me a photo of this like
That's so morbid and you know what when I was picking up these kittens from the spca
she was like
um, I forget what the exact term and Kristen might know it. Um, she was like
Now I don't want you to get down on yourself, but sometimes
Kittens just fade away and I was like what and she was like fading kittens fading kittens
And I was like what and she's like sometimes they just die without rhyme or reason and I was like, oh my god
That is so morbid like these kittens
I wouldn't consider myself like a cat person or a dog person
But like these kittens are fucking cute like I will be devastated if one dies
It says fading kitten syndrome refers to a kitten's failure to thrive during the period between birth and when they wean from their mother
Or from a bottle for hand-fed kittens
This period lasts for about four to five weeks when the kitten is most vulnerable to sickness. So is this kind of like
SIDS
That's what I'm yes, like the kitten version of yeah, like humans have sids and yeah
so I was really sad because
Lux and Isaac I mean Lincoln's like he doesn't really he's indifferent, but like oh and creed they love the kittens
Like I don't think I've ever made a better decision in my
Oh my gosh, but your furniture and like they're probably like clawing
No, I'm gonna send you a picture of the tinfoil everywhere because
um
Everyone was telling me about how the kittens. Oh, there's one right? Oh my god. There's one by the door. I wish I could take a picture
um
They're they don't like tinfoil everyone in the group was telling me they don't like tinfoil
So I put tinfoil on the first three bottom steps of my um to go upstairs
So they don't because I have only carpet up there
So I don't want them while they're litter training to go upstairs at all and then I have litter or not litter
I have um foil on
The coffee table and so they can't they don't I don't want them on the coffee table
I love this for you. Did you put foil on your kitchen counters?
They have not even attempted to go up on my kitchen counters because that's a straight up no for me
Okay, I am so excited for the next coffee combos podcast trip that we are in the process of planning
Away is the luggage that we all use and I'm obsessed. I am also obsessed
I know these days looks different with travel and everything but no matter where you need to go
Away offers a range of suitcases that are just absolutely amazing. The travel products are made of different materials
and in variety of colors and sizes and I have various different ones like sometimes when I go on a road trip
I take one and then I have a different one that goes through the airport a different one that's a carry on
They just have absolutely amazing products
Whatever you need to bring with you away has luggage that will help make your next trip truly more seamless and like Kristen said
We all use away luggage. I especially love that they are so durable
With the exterior and that they're like literally built to last because I can't tell you I have had zero
Good experiences with bagged handlers and like I always end up having a tear in my suitcase or a crack in my hard shell ones
But away it does not have that problem. So I love investing in pieces that are going to last me a long time
I love organization. So I love the interior organization system
It includes built-in compression pads to help you be able to pack more in and they have a hidden and removable laundry
rag that separates your dirty clothes from clean and
I absolutely hate my dirty clothes being on my clean clothes
And they have a new line of soft side suitcases that are made with durable water-resistant nylon
Exteriors that are made to last for a lifetime
They have an easy to access front pocket that fits the essentials that you need on hand to like your laptop
Passports tickets books cords you name it and they are just absolutely so great
There's a hundred day trial on everything that away makes you can take the product down on the road
Live with it travel with it even get lost with it for a hundred days. If you decide it's not for you
You can return any non personalized item for a full refund during that period. No ifs ands or asterisks
And away also offers free shipping and returns on any order within the contagious
us, europe, canada and australia, which who doesn't love free shipping
You guys can start your hundred day trial and shop the entire away lineup of travel essentials
Including their best-selling suitcases at away travel.com slash coffee. That's a way travel.com slash coffee
Outside of the cats and my true concern for how many that you have
I want to give you a co-parenting update
Yes, please do
because
I got blown out
about
Me discussing it on coffee combos. What was it like a week ago? Was it last week or yes? Yep
Yeah, I got blown out about it
And so I feel like I need to discuss that a little bit. It's hard when
your job
or
the career that you choose
Is also like a part of your
Real life. Does that make sense? Like yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I am documenting my real life and what goes on
With my listeners or our listeners every single week on instagram. Whatever
and so
I don't have any control of what the media decides to run
Like if they pick up a clip and you you know this yourself
We're not out here pitching stuff to these tabloids to be like, hey, run this run this
No, no, we literally don't have to because they pick up whatever the fuck they want
agreed so
um kind of got accused of that and then
I was just like, you know what whatever he did keep
Jackson
for a couple of extra days
leading up to
Me testifying in the trial
He did do that
What I was referencing on the episode that I think he was unclear about was that
Depending on what happened when the verdict came down
Was going to determine
What I needed to do in regards to my family and that was on a friday
We did not know if the jury was going to be done deliberating whatever
so
If the verdict would have come down on that day that would have determined
And where I needed to be and what I needed to do after court without going into too much detail
so I needed
the
security to know that I could get
Jackson to will and I didn't have to worry about getting back to him until the morning time because I didn't know what was going to be required of me
right
and so at that time he had sent me a text and said that
He had plans on the next day and he couldn't keep Jackson
So that's what I was referencing in regards to his golf and drinking plans
Totally fine for him to have plans. We are now divorced. There's a reason why we're divorced many reasons why we're divorced
but
Had that
been him
needing that help and knowing the circumstances I would have
cancelled my plans and that was my my whole point
So I think that's I thought that point was made very clear because I also said that
Yeah, so I don't know where that that was like
There was a disconnect anywhere there, but I just wanted to very clearly clear that up
and then Jackson's and Vacation Bible School this week at the church and
Will had a doctor's appointment this morning
and so I needed to help him because Jackson needed to get at Bible school and that was at 845 this morning and
Will took the first doctor's appointment, which I'm sure was booked way in advance, you know, whatever
So I said would it not just be easier if I picked Jackson up later this evening instead of you dropping him off here at 7am
Because then that would require him to like wake up super early for him to drop him off at 7 like no need for all of that
right and so I stepped in
and helped him and I just wanted to notate that for anyone who's listening
that is not my family anymore that
Any information that's been given about how I don't step in or whatever when something is needed. I absolutely do
um, but then Will and Jackson went to have sushi last night and I guess we're over our spat because
um, Will hung out on the porch played with Georgia and Jackson and in the yard yesterday evening and
Jackson immediately came in when Will left and started taking a massive shit and I'm like
Okay, like do you not feel comfortable shitting at dads?
Um, because you're taking a massive dump immediately and like I just need to know the background of this, you know story
So I text Will and my exact text to him is does he not feel comfortable shitting at your house because he took a massive
Dump immediately and will respond probably has to do with eating a whole sushi roll. I did the same
I said, well, I wasn't inquiring about your bowel movements, but thanks for sharing
He said
No problem
I said y'all going and getting tapeworms is something that I am doc documenting
And so I just wanted to be documented on here that I don't know what type of sushi those two are eating
but
evidently it caused massive shits and
That's where we are
I also
It's just so questionable
Like I would have to take a modium if I was to go get like any type of sushi anywhere because it's very hit or miss for me
so
I also would like to say that Georgia slept with Jackson for the first time ever and I told him after she was potty
Trained that I would let her start sleeping with him in his bed
and so Caroline was over last night and we were
attempting to make
English muffins, but that got burnt if you follow me on instagram and that was just a shit show and
We were also having a champagne night and I've let Jackson and Georgia go upstairs. You know, I was testing it out
Whatever so this morning I wake up take a picture of them. They're so precious together send it to will
Which by the way, he never sends me photos
Um, I send it to him and his response is bad news for you. I'm an excellent health
What so I guess you got a good report from his doctor
That he was in excellent health and the only thing that I had to say was oh god like
thank you
Thank you sir for sharing so that is my
I don't know about you, but is that not flirting like is he flirting?
I don't know that will knows what flirting is to be honest
Like but that is will's version of flirting for sure. I like hate the situation that you guys are in and like this like new
Uncharted water, um, but because it's still new I would say, um, but I really liked will and um
I
You know what? I mean, I'm would you be mad if I send him some dollars dollar short candles
No, I wouldn't be mad if you send him some dollar short candles to send them also. What was it called? Midnight?
Uh, don't remember
Well, I forget what they're called, but literally that that alone put him in bad health. I feel like so
That's yeah, that's why he was questioning his health in the first place. Yeah
For sure, but so basically you're calling out will for flirting with me. Um, yeah, I am but
Um, yeah over time, but
I feel like
I like him. I obviously don't like him for you anymore. But like
I'm always gonna respect him because he's jackson's dad. I just
Is it I think that's flirting. I do think that's flirting
I don't know about you, but my entire life is on my phone
Whether it's work or planning my summer vacation listening to podcasts obviously and just connecting with the world
So why are they so fragile? The feeling of dropping your phone is the absolute worst
My heart sinks every time that happens
So I've always been looking for a case and screen protector for protection
And you guys tell me about bodyguards and it's proving that cases don't have to be big and bulky to be protective
And I love my bodyguards case outside of how much I love bodyguards
I don't have time to be busting up my phone and going and waiting for
Or it to be repaired. So the fact that I can have a case on it like bodyguards. It's sleek
It's not bulky. It fits into like all of my clutches. I know that my screen is protected
Is such a perk and I probably have 20 bodyguards cases
No lie like all backups because we know that I love to switch out my case
For those of you who have not heard about bodyguards
Um, they're all designed by the bodyguards team in the us and they're built for both protection and style in mind
Which I absolutely love because sometimes a protective case like isn't that cuter stylish
And cases are engineered to protect your phone from 8 feet 10 feet or even 12 feet drops
Cases are slim and pocket friendly. So you barely know that it's even on your phone
And they have tons of colors and styles to choose from so remember when a screen protector breaks
It is saving your phone bodyguards knows this so they offer free replacements for the life of your device
You only pay shipping and when you buy from bodyguards a portion of your purchase supports your charity foundation called relief haven
Which gives back to the local community as well as abroad to help children in africa escape child labor and gain education
And self-reliance go to bodyguards.com slash coffee to protect your phone today
That's bodyguards with a z at the end comm slash coffee to start protecting your valuable phone today
It has been so hard for me to find time to work out
Recently between just all of my jobs and you know, sometimes just not even feeling motivated to get up and get moving
It has been a little bit rough
Except peloton has the best classes that I am going to start trying and I cannot wait
I think once you start doing peloton classes, you're going to be so excited about it
The one thing that I love is just being able to
Have the convenience of having it in my home
So if I'm kind of like in a time crunch or I'm just not feeling like going to the gym that I have that option there
And I love that they have world-class instructors that truly motivate you and can do that 24 seven
Um, their instructors are highly trained fitness pros who made who motivate you through every workout
So whether you're a regular at the gym or someone who's just getting back into working out like christen is
Whatever your fitness level peloton instructors don't just teach they motivate and they have thousands of live and on-demand classes
So you can always keep it fresh. I know for me
If I get in a routine of doing the same thing over and over again, that's not for me
So they have cycling strength training yoga and running and you can experiment with new types of movement
Judgment free at a level in a pace that feels good for you
Right now is the perfect time to try out peloton. The peloton bike plus is now $500 less
It's the best price yet and it includes free delivery and setup
There are more game changing prices available on the original peloton bike and peloton tread and visit one peloton.com to learn more
about
Outside of that, it was father's day weekend last weekend. And how did that go? Do you
Share your kids every father's day with their dads or do you sometimes have them sometimes don't?
No, I never have them. I can't think of a time. I've ever had them for father's day
Um, they all go to their dads. I emailed and texted
um
Each of them and just asked like hey like normally they would go on a sunday at five and six
Um, but I was like hey, it's father's day like what time do you want them?
And then they all gave me like the times that they wanted
And it was just literally a fucking
Like I'm a fucking bus like I'm a bus and I make stops and I make stops at all my baby dad's house like there's no
So joe was like if you could have him here before um by 10 that would be great and then hobby lives like literally less than a mile from there
So I was like, all right. Well, Lincoln texted your dad because I didn't feel like emailing him back
Um, tell him I'm gonna drop you off after I drop Isaac off and then I had to be in Middletown
Which is like 40 minutes or so
Um to drop me and chris met halfway to have the babies there at 12. So it was just like um a
Cluster fuck that sounds like such a cluster and I would love to know parents who are
And co-parenting situations
What that looks like because your situation looks very different than mine outside of the fact that I only have one child and you have
multiples and then
The I did give all of them gifts like cards with gift cards on them though. I love that
Um, I didn't sign the cards only the kids sign the cards wait
I did not wait. I've got to talk about that too. But my situation is different because
I feel like my
And probably everybody says this that your co-parenting schedule makes the most sense because it's like what makes the most sense to you
But like everything set in stone. So like Mother's Day weekend is
Um
An entire weekend and like Father's Day weekend is an entire weekend in my parenting plan. So
Oh, cool. That's kind of nice because I thought
long term when I was
Mapping out this parenting plan and the hopes that we didn't have to go back and readjust and we we have had to
In regards to like
Week on week off. We tried that we've tried like splitting the week like multiple different things there
But as far as like the holidays and stuff
I'm like, I'm not in the business to like be trying to make someone's life hard or someone trying to make my life hard
and so
We just do weekends
So that if will wanted to you know, he's got brothers too
So when they become dads one of them already is a dad and then his dad
He can take him for an entire weekend. Like if they want to go to the lake, whatever
Um, and same thing for me for Mother's Day. So it just makes it easier and clear cut
Um, and that starts on a Friday. So I would love to know what other people are doing
I don't know what other people
Do because I'm like, okay. No on the day of like texting and emailing and doing all of that stuff
I'm like trying to figure out, you know, where this one needs to go and that one needs to go that is
chaos, but I know that you
Operate just as well in chaos
Actually, you probably operate better in chaos with them without chaos at this point
Honestly, though, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all and I kind of love it. I also
Like we've talked about it before like switching instead of Sundays doing Mondays because then you you don't have to cut your Sunday
plans in half
Um, and that makes perfect sense. I love the weekend thing and you're right because I mean
Somehow I gravitated towards dads for my children that all have huge extended families that would do weekend stuff
Um, so next year, I mean, I I personally don't mind, you know, if I don't really go anywhere
So I don't care if I don't get the full weekend, but I might offer the full weekend next year
I just think it's good because then it allows them to actually have a plan outside of like I
Know some people that just do it for like a couple of hours
Like if it falls on the other parents weekend, that parent can observe the holiday for a couple of hours on that Sunday
And to me, I'm just like that fucks up everybody's schedule. Nobody's trying to do that
Um, let's just make it easy and clear cut. So that's how I've done it
But I would be interested to know how other people do it outside of that though father's day
Kristen had sent me a funny tick talk and it will post it
But it's like ladies remember to match the same energy you received on mother's day
And it's like this mom sitting and playing a video game with a headset on
and like a dog going crazy in the background
And I would love to know how many of you guys
If you're in a co-parenting situation if the if your child's
Or children's dad does something for you
Or if y'all are like past that or they never did
Um, we always celebrated mother's and father's day
when we were married
Um, and will dropped off stuff on my porch on mother's day
He did the same thing for my birthday
um
And then I also
Got some things for Jackson or with Jackson for will and for his dad
and so
I would just love to know what other people do because in my mind
That is something that's never going to change. I don't care how long
We have been divorced or not together like they're still
I still have respect for will in
that
aspect of our lives and so he's always going to be Jackson's dad
And I'm always going to recognize him
on
Father's day and I just don't know like what's your position on that?
um, I try to do cards and something small for everybody for father's day. I always
Wish them a happy father's day. Um, this year it didn't come from me at all. It just came from the kids
Um, joe did wish me a happy mother's day and ve got me something
Um, I did not even get a text or an email from hobby or chris this year for mother's day
It is just
It's hard and I know that you know, we have dubbed these or I have I don't know about we but
Hallmark holidays, right like valentine's day. I could take it or leave it, right? Um, right
but
when other people around you and you know, everybody else
Is celebrating mother's day and you are a mother just the recognition alone just to send a simple text kind of goes back to
what I was saying, um about my situation with will last week
About being in a sticky spot and not even you know, getting a text of like acknowledgement of that
Same thing for mother's day or father's day like an acknowledgement there goes a long way
Um, but I'm kind of up the mindset as well. I don't want to fake
Text like we're not running a fakery bakery. And so if you don't feel
Inclined to do that. I'm not going to call you out on doing that. I'm going to let you live and do you but
I've noticed and taken note
It is hurtful though. Um, in my opinion just not even getting a thought. Yes. I don't need a gift
I don't need a card. I don't need any of that but
Um, and and and it's not their problem at all. Like it truly isn't but I don't have a mom
so
I'm not celebrating anybody for mother's day
um and
I want to just just know that like what I do doesn't go unnoticed unnoticed. I don't know. Yeah
I agree. Just a simple text or an email like
And it doesn't even like and and even for what I did for my kids dad's like I didn't it wasn't from me
It was from them. Right and
I mean just an acknowledgement of like hey, I see you as
My child's mother and thank you for collaborating with me on this co-parenting journey
We don't get along every day. In fact, we don't get along at all. But like
Thank you for what you do. Right 100%, you know, very very simple. Um
Well, so you got them cards and give cards to the kids fill them out
Yeah, the kids wrote um
Lux had like a little bit of a meltdown because he messed up on the envelope picture
And I said lux you your dad's gonna love it no matter what like but he does not want to disappoint
Lincoln's the same way. They do not want to disappoint their fathers. That is so
Funny like Jackson would never think twice about that. It's like if his jay is backwards like no fuck's given
I love that his picture is gets messed up. He'll scribble it out. Yeah, no
Lux and Lincoln are the same way when it comes to like messing up on like
If they think their dad won't like something
That is like the only time especially for Lincoln that he'll get really emotional less
lesson
Okay, wait, so give us a little quick update. Um on your mental health and
And where you are with that and then I want to talk about pray and obey because I actually watched it this weekend
okay, so
I tapered off of zoloft completely and then um yesterday was my last day on zoloft and I
Am on lexapro now, um
I don't know if it's like so while I was tapering off of the zoloft. They had me start the
Lexa pro. Sorry. I had a brain fart
Lexa pro and so, um
It's like balanced out and then yesterday I
Was able to start working on my closet and I helped clean the house
Natalie helped me clean the house. Thank god for her. She's an angel on this earth
um and
You know, I was I've been feeling
Optimistic doesn't it feel so good outside of your medicine change
It does not feel so good when you have like a girlfriend come over and it's like they help you do something
And you feel like you have been productive
Yes, like it's the best feeling right?
Yeah, and then when she was she was
Leaving and I was like, where are you going? Like why are you leaving?
Um, and she's like, well, you know, I have like my own house and my own life
She didn't say that but I know that's like, yeah
Fuck like I finally feel good today. Like I guess good. Um, I feel decent
Yesterday and um, so it was just like I'm sad because like I want to hang out
Um, but obviously like the world doesn't revolve around me or whatever. Um, but yeah, I I'm very hopeful on this medication
Um, I did have a doctor appointment this morning
Um to let him know like how I'm feeling and stuff like that and um, he said everything sounds good
So he'll see me next month. I am so happy for you proud of you and also
remember that it is a journey
and it is figuring it out along the way and the amount of people that have sent me personal messages, um
Just on listening to your journey every single week
And your struggles with mental health and how it has helped them not feel so alone
um
You should just be very proud of yourself. Thank you

Okay, you want to talk about something creepy now?
Yes, we've almost cried and now we're going to talk about something creepy. Okay, perfect
Okay, perfect. So
You watched keep sweet pray and obey
Last week and then I watched it this weekend and
I can just tell you that um, I don't
I've been freaked out a lot in my life
But after watching this like
I was truly so alarmed and felt so uneasy and just like
It made my stomach like not feel settled like I wanted to have diarrhea after watching this and
I I just don't know how
And I don't want to sound insensitive whatsoever, but I
Just don't understand how you can get in a situation and you see this so often with like Colton stuff of how people get truly brainwashed into
This thinking and it's easy for me to say I don't see how because that's not the environment that I was raised in right?
Mm-hmm, but I just don't
No, I mean I felt I did feel the same way and we've kind of had conversations like this before
Um, I also don't want to sound insensitive, but and I don't want to victim shame either
But like I I genuinely
Don't understand it like I don't understand how like
Like anyone believe like the things that you know, the flds
Leaders were saying and doing
They don't make it doesn't make sense and like it being an offshoot like a far offshoot of
Um Mormonism
That should have told you enough that they had to like break off into their own branch and do things that was
No longer allowed in like regular Mormon like typical Mormon church and like practice
Um with the wives thing like that should tell you in and of itself that there was something
Not okay about it. So
mainly
What was so
Crazy to me was just the fact that
About the three wives thing and like
Like that doesn't even make sense
Yeah, I don't why and why young girls like what where they they were just pedophila. They were always like pedophiles
or
What was this? What was the reasoning for them being so like young and younger and younger and younger?
Like it just doesn't make any like
And these these men are fathers
Of their own 14 year olds, but let me go marry somebody else's 14 year old
Well, it was almost like this exchange type program, right? It's like okay. I have all of these daughters and
I'm going to give them
to
That's disgusting other men and
It is but at the same time this was also
They're upbringing what they were taught or what they came to believe
And they believe that this way of living was the right way
of living and
But there was a guy in the documentary that was not raised this way and he joined in as an adult
electively
electively like
Why why would you?
And and
I just it is very hard and I I truly anyone listening to this like I'm truly not trying to be insensitive like
This is genuine curiosity and I want to understand it and I have empathy for all the victims that were
That are ever involved in things like this, but like it is very very difficult for me to understand and I don't
I mean
It's just like a weird
Well, it's the same thing for difficult for me to understand the way of living with the duggers, you know
Like same thing and for those of you who have not watched this documentary. It is a netflix documentary
it's called keep sweet pray and obey and
um, it is about the fundamentalist church of jesus christ of ladder day saints and
truly eye-opening um about the effects of
power when placed in
the hands of
horrific men
um
That are basically
doing these horrific things and
backing these horrific actions
Based off of fundamentalist religion
um
There's just so
Many things about this documentary. I think that everyone needs to watch it
It was a great watch. Um uncomfortable to watch though
and
I just
I don't understand how
Anyone's thinking
would think that
It was a
a truly normal
way of living like
I need to get this wife
And then this wife and then this wife like there was no true
I don't see how that is
It's
a thought process that would be a normal train of thought does that make sense?
Yeah, absolutely. It does and I
It's disturbing too because
The children that were getting the women the young girls that were getting married to these, you know at one point
I think it was like a 14 or 15 year old girl was marrying an 86 year old
um
They didn't even know
What sex was and so when they were essentially
forced to have sex and to um
Consummate the marriage and they didn't even know what sex was
Um, that is rape
Um, and they knew it was wrong. They didn't want to do it
um
I cannot imagine
Being my 14 year old self again and someone that I looked up to as a father figure or an uncle because this was
a fairly small community
I mean big for to us like for a cult but like to that
I mean if you look at the grand the grand scheme of things. It was a fairly small community
um
These were all essentially like like father figures uncle figures and now you're gonna marry them and have sex with them
and then the one leader of
The flds actually married some of his stepmothers when his father died. Yeah, so are you talking about warren?
Uh, yes. Yeah
How crazy is that but I wanted to go back on the the part about
the girls not
Really understanding about sex and having no knowledge of that and how babies were made and
One of the girls said on the documentary that she thought babies were made by kissing kissing
and to
Grow up in an environment to where
You basically are blindsided by all of this
Um, because they're they're withholding important information for you to be able to live in a
What we would deem as a normal society
um
I also feel like these leaders preyed on the ignorance of
The children that they were raising in this community
but the fact that
The fundamentalist ladder of ladder day saints is still up and running. Um
First of all, there were members of this community this cult going to visit warren jeff's after he's been convicted
of
The crimes that he committed they were still going to like
Hear him preach and like take notes from from prison
Yeah, so it says that he was convicted of two counts of child sexual assault in 2011
and at that time
Warren had already been behind bars for being
Unaccomplished to rape a crime that he was convicted of in 2007
and he spent a year on the feis most wanted list and
He is serving
time at a prison in texas
He was given life sentence plus 20 years in 2011
and that he wouldn't be eligible for parole until
2038
And while in prison, he tried to hang himself
um, but
He was allowed like visits. Um
And people still
But I think keel it goes back to like the brainwashing, right? I guess
I I don't understand it. So like it's hard for me to yeah, you're right. It does
um, and
The closest thing that I can relate it to is like my toxic relationship that I could not get out of
it's like abusive relationships that you
You want to believe what this person is saying and you want them to change or you want, you know
You want everything that they're saying to come to fruition
Um, and you end up blaming yours. I don't know like that's the only way because I could for five years
I couldn't get out of it and so that's like pretty much the only like the closest thing that I could um
Relate it to and like if you're not in it, you do not understand it. And so I think it's the same thing for the flds is like
We're not in it. So we can't speak on it. We don't understand it
No, we're just
Viewers of this speaking on what we're watching. Yeah, and truly not being able to understand the
complexities and intricacies of
Being brainwashed. Yeah, but like
he
is allowed visits from family in
prison and
I do think that it has to do with the fact that
These people who followed him
Truly believed that he was a prophet and wrongly convicted
I just I want to help them
members of the flds
um
They say that they often pray for his release
No, I want to help these women understand like
You can believe in
others like there are other ways of life that are
more free
You can believe in god and the prophet and everything else in another way, but this isn't it
I would love to know um anyone who is listening to this
I want to say this is in no way um
To be harmful to to anyone but to really gain a better understanding of
This community and why
They think this way and to get a better grasp of like the background of
You know just outside of the documentary. So, you know people I'm sure people who are listening. Um, I don't know
I'm sure have had either interactions with people who are part of this
Group or maybe a part of it themselves that could give us
Some background information to help us better understand. Yeah
Just wanted to say one last thing on this before we move on that Warren Jeffs had 78 wives at the time of his arrest
he's discussing
70 78 wives and he kicked out his own brothers out of the out of the church
Yeah, like he's he's not well. Um
Outside of that
I am going to
Have a call with my attorney, but before I go
um
