Starting point is 00:05:27 I'm in. We'll do it in Whistler, which is, I can see it's where you are. It's my favorite place. in the whole world. Before you say another word, please, I'm going to interrupt you because I just learned this morning that you have a house in Whistler. How is that? How is it possible that I didn't know that? How are we not skiing together? Well, right. Well, how are we not together? It's already love at first sight. I want to ski with you. Um, I, I grew up, uh, I learned to ski in Whistler like 45 years ago. Oh my God. That's what I dreamed. That's where I dream to have grown up. All my friends that grow up here learned how to ski here about 45 years ago. So you probably know some of them. I probably do. It's crazy. We, uh, yeah, I grew up
Starting point is 00:06:08 in Vancouver and so we would go up to Whistler on the weekends. Yeah. It's my favorite place. It's my favorite place too. I love, especially right now we're having a winter wonderland moment. We're about to get 50 centimeters tonight. I heard, I can't believe it. I'm actually in LA and I'm in a hotel, as you can see. And I have like, and obviously this season has not been ideal yet. And so finally the snow is coming. I'm so jealous. So are you going to go like straight after this podcast? I'm literally out there. I'm wearing all of my bottoms that you can't see. My heated socks are on. I have my ski pants on and I am going to, yeah, we're going to run out the door and ski. I have a couple of friends that are visiting. So it's, I haven't
Starting point is 00:06:51 been here for a few weeks so I came back and I'm like oh good there's at least snow because you as you know we have all this rain problem now where it rains to the top of the mountain and then ruins all the fucking snow but I just want to talk about first of all aren't you so grateful to be a Canadian yeah yeah I am I am I mean I'm actually dual now because I lived in LA 17 years so I got my American citizenship when I was here well you might want to revert that right back to Canada sister I might just want to my friends were out we went over to my friend Ange's house for dinner last night and so there was a bunch of Canadians and my American friends we left and they go my god these Canadians are just so nice it's so weird and I'm like I know and they're like and
Starting point is 00:07:33 their children are so lovely and engaged and sit at dinners and talk to the adults I'm like I know and they're like this makes us feel like shit about our own kids and I'm like I know I understand Every year I come to Canada and I'm around my friends' kids and I'm like, wow, these kids could give all my friends in L.A.'s kids a real run for their fucking money. It's because we just say the Americans are coming. This is what you have to do. Just pretend to listen. Pretend to be polite. We've got to live up to this.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Just apologize a lot. Yeah, yeah. Be a good listener. There's just a level. It's a very civilized society. And I really appreciate that, especially as an American and especially in present day. everything that's happening I really appreciate the civility and my friend goes sometimes she goes do you ever get bored by how nice everyone is and I was like that's a very interesting
Starting point is 00:08:26 question do I get bored with people being nice because we're also not just like Canadians are fucking funny they have Canadians like to have a good time oh yeah that's yeah all the good stuff is in Canada believe me that's why that's another component of my ability to stay here so you're combining two things people who like to party and people who are nice so it's a jackpot situation and there's like often snow yeah there's often snow i just saw a picture of you here's something that i am not looking forward to ever happening in my life so let's focus it about it happening in yours i saw a picture of you and your new newish lover you've had a boyfriend for about a year right yes yeah i uh i met someone fantastic which was so fun and so unexpected i love that i
Starting point is 00:09:09 love what everyone every woman always says whenever we meet someone we're like it was so unexpected because we're so not expecting to ever meet anyone that we would fall in love with totally and I had I kind of just started to try like I it was like I think I'm ready to meet someone I said to my friends like set me up with someone and I would just be on dates and be like is this I had no frame of reference I'd been 20 years I'm like is this what it's supposed to feel like this can't you right and then I met my boyfriend and I was like oh oh this is what it's supposed to feel like how did you guys meet do you mind my asking yeah yeah I got set up um by my two best friends they're both named Jen and my Jens were like you're doing a terrible job of this so we're gonna take this
Starting point is 00:09:56 into our hands now like they were like you just have to try like energetically you gotta put yourself out there just go on the apps and I was like I don't want to go on the apps that's way too terrifying and so I had a small stint trying on the apps didn't go on one day from them but just like I'm not as you can see super technologically inclined so I'd get on the app and Bumble has this feature that is like a privacy one where nobody sees that you're on the app unless you swipe on them so I was like okay that feels kind of like a nice gentle easy way to start I'll just do that and when you buy that feature you get a couple of other features one of which is called a super swipe. Have you heard of the super swipe? I think I can deduce what that might
Starting point is 00:10:35 mean, but why don't you spell it out for us? Well, I don't even know. I guess if when a swipe just won't suffice and you're just like, I'm going to super swipe on this person. Unfortunately, a super swipe, you don't actually have to swipe. Just where your thumb naturally rests on the bottom corner of the phone, you just hit it by accident. And it's like, you've just super swiped on john and you're like what did i just do and so then you've told this random stranger that like a swipe just wasn't enough and you wanted to super swipe and so i'm like this is my first i'm logging on and i'm googling like how do you get rid of the super swipe and you can't and then i find this like long thread on reddit that was like the only way to get rid of a super swipe is just like
Starting point is 00:11:17 delete the whole account so then i just deleted the whole thing and i was like i'm not meant to do this and so the gens were like okay we're gonna take this into our hands and so they called someone they know on the east coast and they were like do you know anyone on the west coast who is our age who wants to date someone who is our age and who's great and then we met and I had kind of like thought about it and I was like I I know that you can't ask for everything so what would be like I mean turns out you can I feel like this person actually does have everything but I didn't know that so I was like I I feel like the thing that's like the most important to me is I want someone adventurous I want someone who's up for it and wants to do
Starting point is 00:11:58 shit with me and wants to like have adventures and I like way overshot that manifest because he is so much more adventurous than I am like we'll go to do something he's like okay so we'll also bring like the avalanche beacons I'm like totally totally so it's like my comfort zone's here and I'm like way over here. Right, right, right, right, right. Which is great. I mean, that's how it should be. Yeah, totally. And that's so fun though. Like that is such, I mean, that's a total necessary thing for me too. Like I'm all about adventure and it can be any story. It doesn't even have to be outdoorsy. It just has to be adventure us in spirit. You know what I mean? I love to travel. I want somebody who wants to bounce around the world. I want somebody who can afford to bounce
Starting point is 00:12:39 around the world. So I'm not bouncing them around the world. You know what I mean? I want someone who's got their shit together enough to be able to be like meet the moment so it is like it's it's amazing that you think you can't ask for everything but why can't you we can always ask for everything that doesn't mean you're going to get everything but it sounds like you've gotten a lot and more than you asked for except for this fishing why do you like fishing okay I actually so my son got me into fishing I mean do I like fishing I think that's the answer right there I mean I think you gave us the answer the answer and there's a lot of like i get really motion sickness in in i get motion sick in boats and so if it's like fishing you're not moving in the boat you're just sitting
Starting point is 00:13:24 so then you're riding the waves and uh is that worse it's like a calm it's much worse if it's a calm day i'm okay but otherwise it's hard i like i like the excitement of the moment where you catch a fish that's like very exciting but obviously there's hours where you're often not catching but I like the snacks I like the hanging out there's like all these fishing rituals and superstitions like you know if there's a certain song playing when you catch then um you have to keep playing that song so I've been in a boat with my son where we have to play can I kick it by tribe called quest for four hours straight because that's you know the last song that there was a fish caught it's meditative there's definitely meditative aspect to it there's like I feel like
Starting point is 00:14:07 it teaches patience and yeah a little too much patience for my I need more patience but that's like beyond my I can't even with fish yeah I just can't I mean I don't want to I don't want to oversell myself as a fish like I don't fish often like I probably go fishing once a year well what's so funny is that the picture that I was looking at when I was like looking at our notes for you I was looking at this picture of this guy you standing there with a fish and I'm like that's so funny because if you took your head out of there this would be a guy's dating app picture like you know when you go on these half of them are holding fucking giant bass and you're like wait what are you trying to attract like another fisher woman because good luck with that there's
Starting point is 00:14:47 not many of us out there it's like unless you're in the arctic circle maybe i don't know who's into that you know there's always a fish or there's obviously a puppy who's usually not theirs but there's one with the dog there's a borrowed puppy from a neighbor there's like the picture with their ex cropped out like you can see just like a shoulder I know I love that one that is so funny and maybe they're going like this
Starting point is 00:15:12 I've seen pictures of myself on people's dating sites like random people that I don't know that have had a picture with me I've seen once before like a meet and greet photo like something like that where somebody asked me for and then they put it on their dating

I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, Shut up. Don't say anything. every week i'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable i knew if he woke up without a doubt he was going to hurt me i started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed and i just started screaming they are abducted stalked controlled and nearly silenced but these aren't stories about what's taken from them they're stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your For You page are
Starting point is 00:17:04 equally important to your personality, welcome home.

I'm obsessed. From best-selling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table.
Starting point is 00:17:37 It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, then that is a Trojan horse.

Starting point is 00:18:02 On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits,
Starting point is 00:18:45 change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself so whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip i hope you listen to solita on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts anyway sarah let's talk about what you're here promoting because you guys are doing a reboot of scrubs tell us about it yeah it's been so fun it feels so lucky and so crazy i mean it was my favorite job and we did it 25 years ago and it's 25 years ago yeah 25 years ago god you can really just remake anything at any time that's amazing you can't like i i and we always thought like that would be really fun over the last decade we've talked about it a bit but i don't think
Starting point is 00:19:32 any of us thought that it was going to come back and we were going to do it in this way as a show again on primetime on abc we talked about like oh if everybody's schedules collide it'll be like kind of like psyched they did like a movie and so when we started talking about doing it like this it was so fun obviously the hospital we shot in was this like old abandoned hospital in the valleys been torn down and so they rebuilt the sets and we thought like oh they'll build it like it'll look kind of like the old ones they built it exactly the same so it was such a trip Like I spent my 20s in that ICU and that cafeteria and the first day like stepping back on to these sets that were built so beautifully and exactly the same. It was like it was just such a trip.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I felt like a step back in time, like the same people and the same character and the same writing and the same sets. Yeah, it's like a total reunarse. Like how fun to get everyone back together again. Yeah, it's been so fun. And we all like, we all loved each other and we still hung out and went on ski trips and went for dinners and since the show ended. And so, you know, to kind of go back to that dynamic on a set, like we, I think you can like, you can hope when you start on a new job that you'll all have chemistry, but I think you can't manufacture is history. And we actually have 25 years altogether. And then they brought in five new kids. They're not, I mean, they're not kids. We call them Donald and Zach and I call them our kids. not children but we call them our kids they're they're our kids they're you know between 25 and 35 years old and they're like so fucking funny and such good people and so that's been like a whole new addition to the dynamic and we had we shot up in Vancouver which was so insanely lucky
Starting point is 00:21:12 and we had Saturday night dinners every week with the whole cast and it was super great I mean to do a comedy there's nothing like it being like on a comedy set like I love doing all the different things but there's something so specifically great about being on a comedy set that's just like not replicable well that's how you started out on Roseanne right that was your first big show and that was how many years of your life that was four so I joined in season six um oh right right right you kind of replaced the other sister right okay yeah Becky she went away to college so I replaced her so when I joined I was I was 16 years old when I auditioned and she had left to go to college. And so I got this audition. I like put myself on tape and like
Starting point is 00:21:55 put a VHS tape in the mail. And it was for this like new series filming in 1994. And they didn't want to say what it was. And then, you know, you get a call back and then another call back. And finally they said what it was for. And they're like, we're going to fly you down. And the whole audition was making out with Glenn Quinn, who played Mark, who was Irish and gorgeous and eight years older than me. And I was like, how am I going to remember anything that I'm supposed to talk about as a 16 year old you were doing that 16 i was making out with him for hours the whole the whole no it was the audition was like probably 20 minutes and because we did it a few times they had it on the set they wanted to put in all the factors to see if you could keep your focus so
Starting point is 00:22:34 they had four cameras and they were calling out camera numbers they had a laugh track they had like someone directing it gail mancuso who's now one of our main scrubs directors oh she's the best gail mancuso i've worked with her before she's so she's a legend she's so cool she's a legend she and she directed you know a ton of our og scrubs and came back this last season to direct more scrubs and she's the one that gave me my first job you know 100 years ago so i'm doing the scene with glenn and the whole scene is like baby baby come here and i'm like get a job at the gas station he's like baby come here i'm like get a job at the gas station and we're just making out and that's like the audition and then they were like we'll tell you in seven
Starting point is 00:23:11 days and then the night before they were going to tell us they said okay it's down to four of you now come back and audition with Roseanne and so I did and the audition was like on the couch and then you had to make out with Roseanne you're like all right this is too much this takes a turn this I was not signing up for this whoopsie doodle and she was like how old are you and I was like I'm 16 and all the other girls were 21 and she was like no how old are you really and I was like the idea of lying about my age would never have occurred to me I was like I'm 16 and they were worried that you know because Sarah and Lisey had both left to go to college that I would also since I was the youngest auditioning that I would do that so Tom Arnold called me at my house after the
Starting point is 00:23:50 audition and he's like so college like what do you think about what do you think about college and I was like no no college no thank you gross none for me and even though I knew I would go eventually I wasn't gonna do it then I could do it later and um so I found out that I had the job And then the craziest thing happened. I went to a party that night and I told a couple people. It sounded like the weirdest lie because it's a time when there was like nine shows on television. And, you know, it was the number one show at the time. And it was like saying, I'm going to go be on that show and play that person. I mean, it made no sense. and then it spread around our high school and then on monday morning i get a call from the roseanne show and they're like we're having cold feet about doing this we don't know if we're going to do it if we do it it'll be you but we're going to put you on hold for four months and i thought oh my god my ass is grass at high school if this doesn't happen i'm forever going to be like the
Starting point is 00:24:45 weirdo who lied about going to be becky on the roseanne show that is so funny i actually did that for real when I was in elementary school I lied to my whole class in order to gain some more respect for my peers because I didn't feel like they respected me enough and I told them that I was going to be in the sequel to Private Benjamin playing Goldie Hawn's daughter as her daughter I wrote about this in my very first book and I was like telling people I was like oh yeah I had a screen test with Goldie Hawn we have so much chemistry I was like you guys better start respecting me now because I'm going to be famous and then you're going to regret that you weren't nice to me and it went all around school and everyone was coming up to me asking me all sorts
Starting point is 00:25:19 of questions and then like yeah obviously nothing ever happened so i just had to keep like postponing and i'm like oh it's gonna be a summer shoot i had all the lingo down and then finally i was like oh they decided to go in a different direction meanwhile there was no fucking sequel to private benjamin so eventually i just eventually i just had to transfer schools i was like this is too humiliating so we had we had a girl in our grade do that too she lied about being part of the mini pops i don't know if you've ever heard about the mini pops the mini pops were this like kids cover band in canada that were so fucking cool it was like everybody wanted to be a mini pop they would release records that were just covers of like awesome 80s songs and so this
Starting point is 00:26:01 girl came to school one day and she was like i'm gonna be a mini pop and we couldn't believe it we were floored it was the most exciting thing and then she wasn't like it wasn't true and i just remember when this whole Becky thing happened, I was like, I'm going to be exactly like the mini pops. You're going to be a mini pop girl. How was Tom Arnold? Oh my God. He was, he was great to me. He was very, I think ever since that kind of phone call, like he was always really supportive of me. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean Tom Arnold. I met the father that played the John Goodman. Sorry. I didn't mean to ask about Tom Arnold. Who cares? I mean, I know Tom Arnold. I don't need the other. Yeah. I want to know about the dad. Cause he seemed
Starting point is 00:26:43 awesome he was I mean that was like crazy he was one of my idols at the time obviously and like now I was working with him and my dressing room was right beside him and I was I mean I had no business being there I had literally never worked except for on a couple of Canadian productions where I would like answer the phone in a movie and be like mom phone and that was like the the totality of my body of work before having gone onto that set and then it was like John Goodman laurie metcalf sarah gilbert johnny galecki sounder bernhardt so fun fred willard like the craziest group of people just sit there and watch but john goodman was so kind like he was he went out of his way to kind of like make me feel okay you know like he'd be like hey kid how you doing
Starting point is 00:27:30 and and he didn't do that and then obviously just to like watch him work and what he would do with a script from the Monday morning table read till the Thursday night tape night and try different things. And I would just kind of watch him and, and, uh, he's one of the most, yeah, he's just so talented. So that was a great preparation for you for Scrubs, right? I mean, that was kind of like college for Scrubs. It was, it was college for Scrubs, but it's like such a different experience. Like I feel like on Roseanne, I was so young and so new and so, um, and it's different, such a different experience that I hadn't even really pre-thought of replacing a character and you're trying to like fit into that mold and luckily I was kind of young and naive and didn't
Starting point is 00:28:14 really understand it like I didn't really think about the expectations maybe that would be put on like filling those shoes um but then in Scrubs it was when it felt like it was my first experience of like it feeling so creative because I got to really create the character like Bill had written And this character that was, I read it and I was like, fuck, this is so good. I want to be a part of this so badly. The character description said, moves and talks at a faster pace than normal humans. And that was something that I'd always struggled with. Like, everyone's always like, slow down.
Starting point is 00:28:49 In life, in speech. Me too, me too, me too. And it's hard. You just want to, we're busy. We got to get, we got to get all the information out. And so I thought, okay, this is like my part. And then Bill ended up like tailoring our parts and adding all of our own quirks and selves. Like Elliot wasn't written as a disaster who fell and hurt herself all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And then that was just woven in very early on when they realized that I still had not figured out where my body was in space. But that felt like the comedy masterclass, like getting to work with Bill. He would come to set every rehearsal, which is super rare from my experience. I've never had that happen where the showrunner comes every single rehearsal and comes up and goes like, okay, you know, try this differently. Try these two alts instead of that joke. See which one, you know, works the best. He was super collaborative and gave us so much freedom that is, you know, we get it once exactly as written. And then he'd be like, oh, if this line says, I told you so, if you want, you can just do like, and I told you so song and dance instead,
Starting point is 00:29:52 if you feel like it um and so I feel like I got to learn like so much about comedy just from watching him work and how he would take a scene and if it wasn't working he'd be like okay let's try this try that try that it was so lucky and and so fun and because we were shooting in this like abandoned hospital in the valley we felt kind of removed from everything and so it created this interesting dynamic of feeling like a very collaborative space and there was also like a real I think my favorite part about it was there was a real feeling that you could fail like just try anything which obviously in comedy I think that's the only way it can really work if you're not thinking about what you look like while you're doing it what you just like any of the
Starting point is 00:30:37 other factors just try it if it doesn't work they won't use it and so we really were freed up to try anything that's awesome I love to hear that that's so like creatively fulfilling I mean you know to just to be able to spread your wings and fly and have somebody just show you because that show was original and it's like it had it used devices that we hadn't seen before on those kinds of shows yeah it did and I remember thinking that when I read the script like I I was like oh I haven't seen anything like this and I had just moved to LA with my best friend and we didn't know anybody and we never had was it one of the jens it was one of the jens yes it was it was one of the jens she'd gone to film school at ubc in vancouver and wanted to produce and i wanted to act and so we
Starting point is 00:31:20 packed up her truck with the most random shit it was like steve martin and the jerk when he's like i just need this mug and this thing like we had like i packed a guitar that i didn't know how to play and like we were gonna go for like a six month sublet and then i stayed 17 years but you know jen and i had plans to go to a concert and i got two auditions for the next day and normally i would just be like okay i've got to work on these auditions i was like i'm not canceling on jen we're going to the concert i don't care and i come home to this envelope these two envelopes for these two auditions and it's midnight and my audition for scrubs is at 9 a.m and i open it and i start reading it and i'm like turning the pages and i'm like oh fuck oh this is so good shit i like now
Starting point is 00:32:05 it's the auditions happening in like eight hours and 59 minutes and uh i never opened the other envelope i have no idea what that audition was and i just worked for a couple of hours and then got some sleep and went and read for casting and they were like can you come back in a few hours and read for bill and um but yeah i remember reading the script thinking like oh this is so different and like you said using devices we hadn't seen and i love the pace of it and and I laughed out loud reading the script which was so rare and I love it I love that I love that you get to I mean like who would have ever thought like all of these shows and all of these successful series would be rebooted like if someone told you when you were doing it the first time you're going
Starting point is 00:32:44 to be doing this again 25 years later nobody would be like I'm not even going to be alive then there's no chance totally totally who who's 50 like that sounds like what yeah exactly no chance What about, okay, let's talk about being 50. Let's talk about like that age, because it's not what I expected at all. It's like so much better. It's so much like, you know, I feel so much younger than I ever thought I would feel. I feel younger than I felt when I was in my 30s. But let's talk about advice that you've been given, good or bad, that has had an impact on your life. Yeah. First of all, I completely agree with you. Like I'm turning 50 this coming August. And I mean, if you were to say like, how old are you? Like, I feel like I, my brain stopped at like 33, I think is the age that I always think I am. And yeah, to have had this lucky career, I'm very grateful for because it has allowed me to be able to raise my kids. You know, like when you're, when you're working, you're working hard, but then you have these chunks of time where you're off and you can be totally present and, um, and do that in terms of advice that I've been given. That's been good or bad or bad. We like bad advice too. We like bad advice. Okay, I'll start with good. My dad's favorite expression was the best time to plant an apple orchard was 25 years ago. The second best time is today. And I feel like that he told us when we were little. I think about it often because it's like anytime I'm like, okay, it's too late. Like I think through your whole life, you always feel like, oh, fuck, is it too late? Is it too late to do this? And it's like never too late. Like it's actually never too late. we just had this conversation me and three girlfriends we were just talking about this and like the idea of ascension like we are always ascending like just because something hasn't
Starting point is 00:34:25 happened yet doesn't mean it's going to happen it's not going to happen because of your age your age is not uh preventative of what your desires are it's actually an enhancement it makes it more likely to happen because it's still on your mind and like oh i was going to do that and i didn't do it before i turned 50 that means it's going to be even better when you do do it after 50 not that it's not happening 100 and exactly when you do it you're like really going to do it you're going to do it at a time in your life that you're ready to do it like i was like i want to learn how to play an instrument i'm like is it too late and i was like no it's not too late yeah it's exactly we were just talking about this and i was like god you know oh if i don't do this
Starting point is 00:35:00 by that time i'm 30 or the time i'm 40 and that's like such backwards thinking it's like oh this now that i'm this experience i'm this much wiser and i'm this much smarter i'm not gonna even fuck this up when it does happen you know like i'm tuned in now totally and i feel like even with like skiing you know like i was like the other day i was like i want to go take some more lessons and kind of like bring my skiing to the next stage because like i i grew up skiing my first job i was a ski instructor and then i took my kids are six years apart so i feel like i spent like you know they were in between my skis when they were one and a half and then on the harness and then kind of like everyone else is going off and doing the real runs and you're like
Starting point is 00:35:40 on the little ones for, and then I had another kid and they did it again. So I feel like I took such a long chunk off of like really skiing. And when I went back to it, I was like, Oh, I feel like I'm skiing with the technique of like the old equipment and the old technology and the skis that weren't shaped. And so, right. Right. Yeah. I get that. I just feel like having like a, just in general open mind to like, it's never too late. It's never too late to try anything. I feel like in so many aspects of my life, I feel like things are just the best they've been or taking off like in the relationship that I'm in has been so fun and so fulfilling and so interesting to, you know, so much in common. And so like, yeah, I feel like
Starting point is 00:36:22 in all aspects, it feels like 50 is amazing. Yeah. It's like you're peaking, but I don't even believe in peaking either because we're ascending. That's what we're calling it. We're ascending until we die we are innocent and that means we just keep getting better and better and better like it is a refined beautiful thing like i am totally down with that i can't believe the garbage we've been listening to our whole lives or are absorbing just kind of this narrative that's just not true anyway let's move on to callers before we run out of time katherine sorry we got caught up in this lovely conversation i'm gonna think of that about ascension that's gonna be yes please yes do it let's spread that spread that messaging women need to hear this

On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle, I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space
Starting point is 00:39:50 where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, our first caller today is Elle, and this is not a question about baseball. It's a question
Starting point is 00:40:41 about struggling through setbacks. So Elle says, Dear Chelsea, My son is 16 and struggles to process setbacks and perceived failure. He's at the top of his class, takes multiple AP courses, and thrives in academic environments,
Starting point is 00:40:54 even though he claims his classes are boring. Many things in life come easily to him except baseball setbacks. He's been playing baseball since he was about five, and even after entering high school, he was often the strongest player on his team. He's currently on a competitive travel team, so the level of play is higher,
Starting point is 00:41:09 and he has to work harder. In theory, this should be a healthy learning and growth experience, but in reality, any perceived poor performance sends him into an intense spiral of self-criticism and frustration that can last for hours. But baseball doesn't allow hours to process emotions. The game continues, and he's expected to stay mentally present for his team. He becomes angry with himself, his performance suffers,
Starting point is 00:41:31 and this only reinforces the cycle. We currently have him in therapy, though he doesn't have buy-in. He views his reactions as normal teenage emotions, which to some extent they are. our goal isn't to pathologize his feelings but to help him develop coping strategies so that setbacks don't derail his mood confidence or performance for the rest of the game and beyond the field we've tried a gratitude journal which he didn't take very seriously and his therapist has given him strategies to practice in the moment but the cycle persists do you have any
Starting point is 00:41:57 suggestions for helping him process these emotions in a healthier way are there any strategies you'd recommend that we might not have tried with gratitude l hi l hi how are you this is our special guest, Sarah Chalk. Oh, nice to meet you. Hi. Hi. I was, I have a friend who's staying with me right now in Whistler and her daughter is in the same situation that your son is very successful athlete, young, had a like, you know, bad day playing and was devastated by it, you know? And I think those are all really natural emotions, but for kids to like, if they want to take them, like they have to get into like a championship mentality, right? Like if they're going to really be successful at this, they have to outsmart themselves. And like, there's gotta be a lot
Starting point is 00:42:43 of books on this. Jamie, did you say you knew about a book about this? She's I'm going to have her come upstairs. Cause we literally just had this conversation about her daughter last night. And she's like, it is what it is. She didn't have a good day today. She's just going to have to deal with it. That's the, like the mentality of a champ. Like if you're, you're going to have to deal with your emotions and you can't spiral every time. And that's something that he's just going to kind of have to learn. This woman's calling in with the same thing we were talking about yesterday. Her son like flip, like spiraling out when he has a bad play and stuff. Do you want to hop on and give her some advice here? This is my friend. She just happens to be in town.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Hi, beautiful Jamie. Hi, gorgeous. Hi. So her son is struggling with feelings of self-criticism and especially when he's playing baseball. And so like he needs tools to like quickly process those emotions. How old is he? He's 16. Okay. I have the same thing. I have a 15 year old superstar softball player. So what I've learned from this journey, I also played sports in college and I wish I had this information when I was in college. Cause I think it would have made me a better competitor is it's all mental. Everything is mental. Has he hit home runs before? Has he made double plays? Yes. He, well, he's gotten triples before he's ever hit it over and out of the park. Right. He's made double plays. He's a really good player. Yeah. But he's a
Starting point is 00:44:05 perfectionist. Yeah. Yeah. And he's, he just criticizes himself when he doesn't perform. Right. So like, I think the most important thing an athlete can do is work on their mental game. Does he journal? No, I tried having him, um, like Catherine said, I tried having him write a gratitude journal. Um, this was last summer and he, we would go through what he would write in there because at first like he he thinks he's a normal teen he doesn't think that anything that is happening with his emotions is out of the ordinary and and again it's it's not it's not but it's how you can train your brain to it's really a mental thing so like my daughter what she started doing I mean she wants to play d1 so this is all her journey I don't push her this is
Starting point is 00:44:51 her thing but she started journaling so before she'll do hitting lessons before a group practice before any sort of work she's doing she'll put what her expectations are for the practice and then after the practice she'll put in did she accomplish that what did she need to work on next practice and so it's always just like looking at what you've done and what you need to do right Now, it sounds like it's all a mental thing. So that's what he should be focusing on. There's a book called, I think it's called The Champion Mind, Be the Champion Mind or something like that.
Starting point is 00:45:27 She started reading that. She talks to a mental coach now. I mean, it's so different from when I was growing up. We didn't have anything. I was just like, if I sucked, I would just be in like a dark hole. But, you know, and all the high-end coaches all tell, if you watch any TikToks or Instagram, they all tell the players like what we're watching.
Starting point is 00:45:46 We don't care if you're a baller. We don't care if you have a hundred percent batting average. We care about your body language. So if you strike out three times in a row, do you go in the dugout and bring everybody down with your energy? Or do you, you know, come in and just realize what you did wrong and move on, turn the page, you know? Yeah. And it's hard for them to pull back and look at themselves, but you're on a team sport. If you want to go torture yourself, go swim, go golf, go tennis, but this is a team sport. So bring the good energy, even when shit is bad and what's great about all this is it's such a good lesson for life yeah i've done my work here dropping the knowledge yes i'm gonna go i'm gonna go warm
Starting point is 00:46:27 my toes for the whistler hill okay here's your host chelsea handler thank you jamie i really had to put her on the spot there you guys and she delivered drop on the heat that was awesome i think what she said about like being a perfectionist is so true like and I was a perfectionist as a kid and experienced you know really trying to figure out how to go back to a growth mindset like I think I had one initially and then as you work going back into the auditioning process I really got out of that and in terms of like you know because I was a kid who like if I was doing a project on Sri Lanka I was cutting every page out into the shape of an elephant like don't do that just travel later that makes no sense and I you know in terms
Starting point is 00:47:11 of team sports like I all it's all I wanted I just wanted to be on a team like I would take any fucking team I was like I tried out for basketball volleyball the track and field team I was like whoever will take me nobody would um so I got used to a level of rejection that I think actually is why I ended up being able to go into to acting but I think like for your son and for the times and days that doesn't work out I actually think it's really true that you learn so much more from failure than you do from your successes so every like if you're going and you're hitting a home run every time like actually it's incredible but i don't think you're learning anything um that's going to help you grow and so because the reality is like i don't know if the goal for him
Starting point is 00:47:51 is to become like a professional baseball player or if it's just to do it right now with his buddies but if he's out there and he's failing it's obviously not failing but i mean if he's not doing let's say it doesn't go the way that he wants he's going to come out of that right now like you said he's working through it and he's trying the gratitude journal you're trying therapy you're trying all these different things those are all tools that are going to serve him in every area of his life no because none of us are going no matter what we do we're not going to go out there and it's not going to be a successful day all of the days most days and i think like if you can like just the fact that you're and him are aware of it and trying to work through the tools
Starting point is 00:48:30 i guess the other part of it is what's the goal for him in terms of like does he want to take this the whole way and if not what is the best spot for him like my niece played professional or not professional she played field hockey at a high level she was on team canada and when she stopped her enjoyment of the game went like through the roof she's an incredible field hockey player but sometimes i think when you're a kid and you're a teenager and you're dealing with all of the elements of being a teenager and the pressures of school and all of that like to take the pressure cooker out of it and they can actually just really enjoy the sport can be really cool too I mean obviously that balance with you know yeah them pushing through the heart is probably the
Starting point is 00:49:13 most important part but also like I think what Jamie said is like like if first of all of course the gratitude journal like most adult men are not going to do that you know so like if you could if you pivot and make a journal about journaling like about his expectations about before practices about what he expects and also emphasize that team component aspect like you want to be a leader you want to be a champion then you need to actually get into like kick into a different gear when you're disappointed in your own performance you know what I mean you can't bring other people down with you I think that will have an impact on him as well do you have any advice for when he's in the moment when something doesn't go because like in his mind even if he hits a pop fly that's
Starting point is 00:49:54 a horrible hit because pop flies are at his level of play now 99% of the time caught and he's just like now done for the game essentially like he was even ejected out of a game by the umpire for arguing a call it's just in the moment like I can get him to do I think like the because two hours after a game he's like totally fine he's like oh yeah I'm good I'm like but but I need you to be good like in that moment because now you're just hurting your team I don't know if you can get buy-in on this but but meditating on a daily basis even if it's like five ten minutes can help slow him down in those moments. So he's not just having this super like fast reaction. It really does help you have a more measured response when when stuff like that happens. And it doesn't even have to be
Starting point is 00:50:40 like woo woo meditations. It can be simple box breathing or counting to 10 with his breaths or even just doing, you know, really short, basic meditations on Headspace or an app like that. I think your role is just to really be a guide for him when he is looking for answers that you can help him to find those answers you guys will work together to find those answers if he's disappointed in his own behavior and his reaction then that's an opening for you to go okay we can figure this out together i can help you this this study says all we have to do is meditate five minutes a day he's not going to like that either but you can do it with him you can sit there and say this is going to help your brain regulate so that when you are in that moment and you are
Starting point is 00:51:21 feeling super reactive you can pull back and just be quiet and think of your team instead of thinking of yourself and your reactivity and like just taking all those moments without being too kind of officious. Cause of course you're his mother and you care more about him than anybody in the world, but just to be like this calming force around him so that he keeps coming to you when he wants answers so that you're the calm and he's the storm and that he knows where the calm is going to be. And then just one more thing I want to flag before you go is if he is being really self-critical and irritable, especially irritable outside of practice, I would keep an eye on that because that can be a sign of depression in teenage boys. So just keep an
Starting point is 00:52:03 eye on that like outside of baseball too. Yeah, definitely. You know, we're very aware, like he's putting a lot of pressure on himself. My husband and I tell him like, you don't have to play. Like we're cool if you don't want to play, but he loves the game and he wants to play and he wants to do really well. And it's like, oh, but it's hurting you. I know, but you know, that's something he's going to have to figure out for himself.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Like there's nothing you can do. He's going to have to decide if it's worth the feelings that come with, you know, not always succeeding. Like, is it worth it? Are the wins like worth it with the losses? And that's not something you can make happen for him. You can only be supportive at every turn
Starting point is 00:52:43 and be like, okay, you want to do this? We're going to support you. If you don't want to do it, we'll totally support you too. I know I mentioned, So we do have them in therapy. Do you think finding a new therapist, is that something to do? Because the guy he goes to now, I mean, he's very nice.
Starting point is 00:52:55 And my son says he likes them. But then when we drive to his sessions, he's like, yeah, I don't really think I need this. So like, I feel like his buy-in isn't there. That's everybody. Everybody feels that way on their way to therapy. Like, I don't need this today. And then it's your biggest day. I would keep him in therapy.
Starting point is 00:53:11 And like, if you can look for maybe some like a sports therapist or something that's a little bit more gear to what he's into in the interim, but don't take him out prematurely. Just leave him in so he has some sort of sounding board, but also in the meantime, look for somebody that you can gear towards more what his interests are. All right, Elle. Well, keep us posted, okay? Okay. Thank you. All right. Thanks. Bye, Elle. Thanks for calling in. Wow. That was like a triage moment, you guys. Truly. Oh my God, you guys. And Jamie stepping in. All hands on deck. that was serious oh my god i wanted team sports so badly like i finally said to the coach i'm like i just want to get on the bus what's nobody signing up for and they were like nobody does
Starting point is 00:53:49 race walking and i was like great i'm in and so i was race walking just so that i could get on the bus and were you race walking all by yourself because it was like a few kids from other schools in the province so i came second in the province because it was probably only two people Yeah. Yeah. We'll finish up with our one drink question here. So Nikki says, I'm a 35 year old Canadian passionate about boycotting U.S. travel and products when possible in the wake of the current administration threatening to invade Canada and all this 51st state bullshit. it. The problem is that I live in the frozen tundra of Winnipeg and my husband wants to take a vacation somewhere hot while it's still cold. My husband is a wonderful partner and dad that works incredibly hard. He's in his first year of being an attending doctor after 14 years of training. We have two young kids and can only manage to get away for a long weekend and there
Starting point is 00:54:41 are not many direct flights out of Winnipeg. He would love to go to Phoenix, Vegas or Palm Springs since it'll be hot and we can fly direct. He agrees with boycotting U.S. travel but also feels like we need to live our lives a bit so my question is do I make an exception to my boycott to go on vacation with my husband who absolutely deserves it Nikki no no find somewhere else to go or go to a sauna like forget about it your boycott is a boycott I don't know temporary boycotts like you cancel things to cancel them it doesn't work if we're not serious about it so if you care about the state of the world you have to care about boycotting things all together and I'm believe me I'm doing it in my own life and I'm doing it with all the people that I work with and the
Starting point is 00:55:20 people that work for me in my house, everything. This is a consideration that we talk about all the time. It is serious business. So yeah, I mean, also I joined Noble Mobile. I got off of AT&T Verizon. That's one good thing you can do. You can join Noble Mobile. They encourage you to stay off of your phone. They incentivize you to stay off of your phone. My phone bills have been like $35 a month and I travel internationally all the time. So that's a great first step.
