into it I'm going to set the scene really quick um I'm sitting here looking cute in my new top I got at the thrift store um we'll get into thrift store shopping in a sec too I love a thrift store okay I my favorite thing to do on the weekends well I love to shop but specifically thrift stores and like consignment stores where like where the clothes are curated and they're like they don't just take anything you know what I mean I love shopping at those stores I love looking at like the home section of like a goodwill or like you know what I mean just like the little tchotchkes and shit that are like weird I like perusing is that the right word thrift stores on the weekends and that's what I did

last weekend and I'll get into a story about taking Corey along with me um so I'm in this new top it's one of my new favorite shirts um I've recently purchased go to YouTube or Spotify to look um it's like a black and white shirt anyways I'm redoing my entire wardrobe thanks to Corey and he has so many he's got a great sense of style for or like he he knows what I mean obviously it's like he knows what looks good on me more than I do and I feel like because he's seen me from a distance and I'm just seeing myself in a mirror and he's helped me a lot because I feel like I don't know if that's like a whole not a whole other other topic or should I just talk about it right now um I literally went by the dumpster like a few days ago and I had 10 bags of

clothes and I know I should have donated them to the goodwill holy shit this makes me seem like a really oh my god should i not have said that i was okay first of all the goodwill is like too far away from where i live i don't know where else i could have done i should have fucking donated them i was getting anxiety because i've had these bags in the back of my car and if you've listened to this podcast for in the last six months you know that when i moved in with cory i had all this stuff in my car and it has literally been in there for like six months and i i cracked like a few uh like a weekend ago or whatever i like drove by our dumpster and i just unloaded everything i was like I can't I can't it's making me anxious I need to get rid of it every time I get in my car

I feel like I'm living out of my car it looks I look like a homeless person like it is it's just not it was driving me nuts so um literally got rid of 10 bags of clothes like I I almost have nothing in my closet that I've had like everything in my closet now is like something I've purchased in the last like a year or two um I finally got rid of all the things I've been holding onto for no reason. Like I actually did it. Um, but yeah, I, I feel like what happened to me is I started working remote during the pandemic and I became a sweatpants girl. I became a every day is a cozy day and a lounge wear day girl. And you know, it's like, I go to the gym in the morning, I'm wearing a sports bra and yoga pants and then in like tennis shoes or whatever. And then I come

home I shower and then I put on a sweatsuit so I and also in that time like my body's changed um especially the top half and it's like always calling attention to my fake tits okay always and forever because that's why I got them right it's like why that's what I don't get why do people get their tits done and they like I don't know some people like conceal them and they're like I don't know they're more conservative I'm definitely not but um anyways I yeah like I stopped dressing myself every day in like an outfit like a cute outfit unless I was going somewhere like a restaurant or like like out to dinner or doing errands but even when I was doing errands I'm wearing like all like it's all workout clothes you know what I mean so

my recent uh journey my new era not to use the most common word the most popular word of all time right now my new era is uh redesigning my wardrobe and just buying all new fresh things that fit my body that look good that are current I feel like a lot of the stuff I was wearing was like out of date and frumpy like Corey's like Jacqueline and I think okay I definitely have like chronic body dysmorphia issues or something because like he's like Jacqueline you have a great body and I feel like you just like you don't like you don't wear like your clothes are just like not showing off how good of a body like he's like Jacqueline he's like show some show you show some skin like show your wear something tight like wear a tight dress like I have a lot of these like

summer dresses that are like flowy and shit it's like no wear a bodycon dress and then I wore one the other night I never felt hotter in my life I was like oh my god this is what I need to wear like tighter clothes low-cut like just be it's our motto at this house it's just like when in doubt be a whore that's what we that's what we say here and that is my advice to any woman listening right now just be a whore your man wants to see you in hot outfits do it for just wear them and you'll feel great too like I've never felt better about myself but when I started dressing this way it's like why am I all I'm just like constantly covering up and being like like I know the whole old money Sophia Grange like or Sophia Richie Grange uh aesthetic shits in where everyone's

like you know dressing classy and chic and it's like more modest and everything and I'm all for it and I did I did praise that on a few episodes ago but um like I'm not gonna look this hot forever I need to dress the part okay that's where I'm at that's where I'm at I'm like I'm full send full sending the hot outfits at this at this time so because it's like because I see girls on Instagram and I'm like following them like their pics I'm like oh my god they look so great they look so great and they're just wearing like cool like it's like the styles or the cuts are cool and like the way things are the strings the way the strings go around they're like ribs here and it's like a little like two-piece set thing and they got these little strappy I'm

like why don't I dress like that so um anyways that is what's up um I was setting the scene telling you I'm wearing this new top and that's how we got here I'm also drinking um is this going to be a two-hour episode I'm a little nervous right now I'm trying to be better I'm trying to be more disciplined with my time I'm allocating an hour today to podcast and I'm already sensing this going for way longer but I want to tell you what I'm drinking out of my Stanley cup this is uh this is water coconut water a sprinkle of Himalayan salt lime juice and apple cider vinegar cory and i have this preschool goals chart that i i bought for our fridge and i literally wrote lose five pounds this week on it as my goal and i know whoever's

listening right now is gonna be like girl you're all fucked up you got this body dysmorphia thing now you're dressing like a whore for your man you're changing for a man you're showing off your body for a man it's all because of what he wants you to wear and you're talking about being like slutty now and like and now you wrote down that you need to lose five pounds on your new calendar or your new goals chart it's like I'm just telling you what I'm actually like this is my actual life so I have had multiple breakdowns about time management in the last like two months and I think it's all because of planning a wedding and then also trying to go hard with my podcast at the same time like those two things collided and my world just got like insane and my brain is just

like I don't know how I'm gonna do all these things so I bought a little chart for our fridge and like we wrote down our goals this week and like I'll tell you a few of them so we are we're doing no phones in bed at all so like before bed no phones or reading before bed or we watch like suits all weekend so like watching Netflix instead of sitting there zoning out on our phones next to each other you know what I mean so no phones in bed um I'm getting eight eight hours of sleep full sleep eight hours no excuses getting to bed early um 10,000 steps we don't have issues like steps and working out clean eating though I haven't committed to like actually eating clean like I already eat really I feel like we eat so healthy but like I think it's the quantity

and then it's the whole like oh we're going out to dinner with our friends this weekend and like last friday we had like i had a full pizza to myself at this like italian place and then like a nutella pizza after and a ton of wine and like goodies and shit and it was just like those are the days that like throw us off and i feel like we have too many of them so basically we're toning we're cutting we're shredding for the wed we're about a year out we might be less than a year out because we keep changing our date we we've had we set our date and now we're like let's do it sooner anyways um so yeah we're like committing because we want to I'm trying to like do here's where I'm at I haven't set I need to do something hard for me hard for myself or like I need to like

actually achieve a goal like a fitness goal I need to achieve like a nutrition goal or something so basically this week I'm like I'm gonna eat clean for seven days and I'm sure at the end of the week I'll lose five pounds because like I literally just like that's how it works the first week I typically like I'm always I always do the same thing I always eat the same way when I try to do something like like this but I cannot tell you what I'm getting to is I can't tell you the last time I actually did this because I'm very like intuitive with eating and I feel like we eat super like healthy and like we just focus on like whole foods we don't need a lot of processed shit all the snacks I buy are like from they're like the health food snacks like good ingredients like

no bullshit um so this whole the whole thing the whole reason I'm saying this is I'm trying to commit like I'm actually gonna do it for seven days and then at the end of the week we both want to lose five pounds so I'll look so much hotter in these horror outfits when I have five pounds off my body this is like not this is like not what okay moving on I want to I guess tie this in so I I just told you what I'm drinking I don't know why oh yeah I am wearing this new top I'm changing my wardrobe I'm okay we have this new goals chart we're trying to like mark off our goals every day just to like do something together and like just hold each other accountable okay we're doing that and this weekend let me get into the thrift store story so we I used to live

up in North County here in San Diego I've lived in Carlsbad like La Costa I've lived in Solana Beach I've lived in Del Mar I've lived in downtown like close to Little Italy and now I live somewhere else I'm not going to tell you where but like I'm now that I've moved from those places and I'm in a new place now but um anyways since I met Corey he's always like hey we should go up to North County we should like go do a day day up there together so I took him to all my spots we went to like I don't know this isn't this isn't gonna matter to people that aren't from San Diego but like we went to Solana we went to Lofty Coffee the coffee shop I used to work at we went to this like cool wood store gallery thing called David Allen we walked around Cedro's Ave and like looked

at all the little interior design stores then we went up to Cardiff Seaside Market if you're familiar with like Cardiff Crack we got some Cardiff Crack up there and it's like this tri-tip stuff um it's really good anyways after and this is like a typical weekend I would I would have when I was single and living by myself so I was like taking them to all my spots and showing them like the routine right like getting my coffee walking around the design district going to seaside market getting some like groceries and like you know because it's like a fancy grocery store like an Erewhon but like for San Diego kind of not on the level of Erewhon at all but like kind of similar um and then after that I go to this thrift store that supports

the local humane society and court like I grew up like I was a we were a thrift store family like we would that was like the place I would say like most of our clothes came out of the thrift came from the thrift store and like I learned to love it I learned to love the hunt like the hunting process for like the like oh my god I'm like spitting I learned to love like the process of weeding through all the bad stuff to find the one good thing right and I so I love thrift stores it's like ingrained in me Corey it's like instant panic attack as soon as he walks in like he can't he lasts maybe 30 seconds he's like I got to get out of here first of all he hated like the smell the fact that there's used clothes like bothers him and I've bought I've gotten these like cute

outfits like yesterday I got like literally like 10 things from this consignment store that's like and all of these things were like fashion nova pretty little thing like princess poly like you know the trendy uh brands right and a lot of these had like the tags still on them and he scuffed or scoffed at it so much and I'm like it's the his brain just thinks oh this is something like this is gross like someone else wore this and I'm like it's not like that like I don't know maybe maybe you think that too maybe like that's your opinion on secondhand clothes and like thrift shopping but first of all it's like the most sustainable way to shop like it's like literally recycle clothing that's that you're buying so you're not like buying something brand

new but um I feel like you find cooler stuff too stuff that like not everyone has anyways we go up to this thrift store in North County he lasts like 30 seconds and I wanted to find him like a cool shirt or something I was like they didn't have a lot there for men but um yeah he's not a thrift store guy and like he literally there's like a bar next door like a pizza shop and he's like I wish he in the moment I was like oh I gotta write this down for the podcast this is funny and um it's probably not gonna be funny when I re-say it but like he was like I'll be hey honey I'll be next door drinking a beer watching the watching golf so um he like dipped and did that and then um yeah that was our weekend we like went up to

north county we've been golfing a lot obviously but this this weekend we didn't at all um let me just refer to my notes here yeah oh we've been watching suits did i mention that um back to the whole north county like taking him up there and showing him what i used to do I just want to use that story as like a reminder if you're in a relationship to constantly date or like never stop dating your partner like like go to a new place with like the change of scenery is really good like taking them to a place you used to go and like giving giving giving them that experience and like taking a walk down memory lane with them from your past life or whatever like just like keep never stop dating them and I think that's what happens when people get married

obviously like you hear about all the time but um things dry out they they stop being interested in each other the couple does because they're just like doing the same shit every day and um yeah like we never stop dating um we're engaged now um I feel like we're still like we're still pretty new to each other in fact I met this girl in the sauna yesterday and she's like super nice and um I told her I was engaged she's like oh how long have you been together I'm like a year and a half almost a year and a half she's like oh that's really soon she's like well when you when you know you know and then I got triggered because I was like watching this TikTok about how like the whole when you know you know thing is bullshit and I'm like oh my god it's just always something there's

always a justification and a reason and like to oppose what you think about anything like and then you can get like sold a new idea and you're like that counters what I used to think and then you're like going back and forth like what's real and what's not or what's true and what's not what's true for me isn't really what I should think is true and it's like this that's what that's what's so crazy about the internet like you can literally like change your mind non-stop but unless you're really doing the deep work in the research I've said I think I said this on the last episode you won't you really only have surface level understanding on all these different topics you're coming across that's what it is now like most people don't know shit about shit about fuck

is that the ruth quote from um oh my god best show ozark so yeah never stop dating your partner life advice um we did watch the jake paul versus um brain fart oh my god jake paul versus dan ortiz oh my god oh my god jake paul this is like not versus nate diaz what did i say dan ortiz that's so like racist to me nate ds dan ortiz like potato potato oh my god like fucking and the night before i'm pretty yeah like the night before we watched his netflix documentary and um yeah i mean it was super cool to watch i'm just such a big fan like i just love his

character arc or whatever is like hero's journey and um i just feel like he's a legit boxer like he's and he's only been doing it for like three years now and um i don't know it's just like cool to watch I feel like I've followed him since the Vine days like I've seen like his crazy YouTube days and like where he is now and I don't know I just feel like he he's got that like killer mindset or that like I want to be the number one in whatever thing I do mindset and not everyone has that and um yeah it's just pretty amazing to watch um I couldn't get get over once again the name why do I blink so bad uh Nate Diaz Dan Ortiz I could not get over his like um posture like he's got some like funky posture he's like very um yeah I know he's like older now um but

yeah he uh he's he's like the when I was watching the fight I was like um Nate Diaz is like the character in a video game that you can't kill like you're constantly trying to like take him out and they just won't die and he just keeps coming back to life like he's it's like his someone was saying who was I talking to someone I know that does boxing or was this on the I think because I was also watching the impulsive Jake Paul episode I don't think they said this on this that episode I think it was I was hanging out with one of our friends and he does he's a boxer he does a lot of martial arts stuff and he was saying that his he thinks like Nate Diaz's brain or his like skull is like like unusually thick or something like I don't know if that's

a thing with boxers that are like really um that like never get knocked out or like have a super strong head I don't know how it works like they just they can take anything uh there must be something to that I don't know but he was saying he thinks he has like a thicker skull like a really unusually thick skull skull so yeah we watched the documentary watched the um fight um I watched the impulsive episode and like honestly Logan Paul's been kind of on my like unimpressed list lately and I'm sure if you watch that you'd maybe agree I don't know I just feel like he's kind of um he needs image consulting I don't know he's doing great I mean look at his WWE performances like

look at his prime shit like I don't know I just feel like what him and Jake are going back and forth I'm like he just doesn't get it like I just think he he's so um and that's how he's gotten to where he's at his big ego his big um you know cocky attitude and personality it's like that's what's gotten him to his the level he's at I mean it's definitely served him but when it came down to the whole like him what was the whole thing about like him not being able to bring prime into the stadium and like him having a meltdown over that and just like or like how jake was like you're only my brother when it's convenient or you only uh yeah you're only my brother when it's convenient for you and you play both sides like when they i'm sure again if you watched it

it's like damn jake's like the one who's making sense right now like i feel like logan was just like just he doesn't like didn't get it i'm like why don't like i don't know but you kind of have to be an extreme narcissist you i can't believe i'm saying this i literally have an episode like a really old episode called logan paul hmu hit me up i'm not trying to like talk shit i think he's a great guy i think like what he's doing is great i i'm a fan of both of them honestly i just think he's having like some bad moments on these podcasts like the one what was the other podcast i watched him on that i was like so unimpressed it was the um his co-host that they like don't have anymore um george yeah he was like going

off on george and his um lack of like self-awareness or something and like how he needs like like Jesus isn't working for him or something he needs to like seek counseling because the bible stuff isn't something like that I don't know it was an old episode and after that episode I was like oh like Logan needs to like yeah um so I watched that um wedding planning updates oh gosh speaking of wedding planning and Corey um I have this thing where we're like so comfortable like I've never felt this way around another person where like or a man I'm dating where I can literally just like live and exist and this is like the best this is where you want to get to

And if you're, like, literally, if you're, like, married and you're still, like, pulling yourself together and, like, being all, like, concerned about how you're being perceived by your partner all the time as far as, like, how you look, like, is your hair done okay, do you stink, da-da-da, like, obviously I practice good hygiene and I, like, pull it together and I try to look hot as fuck for my man, as you just heard in the beginning of the episode. okay um I for the most part can walk around our place like with my hair down just like not worrying about anything and not being in my head about how I look or I literally live this is a place I'm trying to what I'm trying to say oh my god what I'm trying to say is that when you find the right person for you or when or what you what you should look for excuse me and in my experience is someone who keeps your nervous system super calm like and to me that means like when I'm here at the house with him and we're just chilling or whatever like I feel the same way I do at all times literally since I met him this is crazy this is like how this is like a totally different

feeling that I've ever felt before I feel the same way in my body and my spirit in my mind and my energy and just how I'm like being as I did I feel the same way as I did just like living in my little one-bedroom apartment by myself with my dog like he's in the picture now but like I don't feel like because in the past I would be highly caught and caught up and concerned in like the littlest details of like how I was looking how I was acting my manners I was like like peeing or shitting at their place like being like oh I don't want to be gross like oh god god forbid I'm gross or do anything gross or like I have a little bo or like I would literally like never shit at my ex-boyfriend's place like all of that like I would do I was one of those people I'd

like try to like hide that part of me and um I don't know how we got here basically what I'm saying is I have a non I have a no tolerance policy for well with that being said I'm so I'm highly comfortable with my fiance obviously I'm marrying him I should be like this is great right um and that's something I would recommend if you're like dating a guy right now and you're like super like concerned about yourself in front of them all the time and like just like that's the energies are just not flowing they're really not um you're like two in your head or like you don't feel comfortable to be completely yourself around them or uh really show them your like rawest version of yourself rawest meaning like I mean I'm facetiming my sister the other day in bed

we had just woken up she's like holy shit you look like hell i can't believe she's like cory must really love you my fucking skincare shit was everywhere my pimples and my hair was all crazy and anyways what am i saying so let me cut to the chase um cory already cory already lost i'm not gonna say this story should i not this is gonna embarrass him uh whatever uh it's really not that i just okay i while i am comfortable with him i have a zero tolerance policy for i don't care how impressive your shit is i don't care how big i don't care how cool i don't care if it's a psychedelic lime green color i don't care if it's something that like i don't care what the fuck it looks like i never want to see it god forbid you forget to

flush i will have to get like i there is nothing that like gives me okay i don't have any icks with cory that's another thing nothing about him gives me the ick rubs me in the wrong way if i was to see his shit in the toilet i would fucking lose it and i just can't like that is something i do just cannot mentally talk like I don't want to see it ever just flush it like just flush it he literally he's like honey he goes I know that he goes this is out of because he already knows this I've already told him this but he goes honey he goes this is not not what you want to I know you're not going to be into this but I just have to tell you I have to show you he's like come here come here I got to show you this it's like fucking 8 a.m he's like getting ready for work he just

showered and took a shit and he's like he's like good she's like go check this out you'll be impressed and I'm like literally I ran I was like no so um yeah I mean hey everybody everybody shits what did Dave Chappelle say one time like the fact that we start our day in the most like humiliating humiliating demoralizing disgusting way possible like we literally all wake up and like just shit ourselves like how can you take life seriously when like that's like caught like all we're doing all day is pissing and shitting like what do you ever like overthink that about life like why do we eat why do we drink why do we shit why do we like we're just animals at the end of the day um so anyways I want to talk about girl dinner um because that is having a moment

right now everyone on TikTok's talking about what they eat for girl dinner and I'm trying to think like I I'm a sometimes girl dinner person like when I was single because girl dinner if you're not familiar is when like girls just like grab a handful of corn chips and like salsa and they'll have like um like a handful of like m&ms I don't know like they'll have like chips and salsa and call that dinner or like they'll eat um just like some lunch meat with some mustard and like call that dinner or just some crackers or like a little bit of popcorn and maybe like a granola bar and call that dinner like very like squirrel food-esque um you know dinners uh so I was thinking I was literally before the episode like looking around my pantry like asking myself like if I was to eat

girl dinner right now like what would I eat and I'm gonna tell you what I've kind of been doing recently that's I don't know a little strange and very specific and like maybe it's not strange but um i'm a protein bar bitch okay i'm a barbells protein bar chick i'm a power crunch wafer protein bar chick and i've been doing two things that are odd there's these um dark chocolate trader joe's 85 i think they're called the chocolate lovers dark chocolate bars anyways i've been eating those with rice crackers okay this sounds so fucking random but that's what girl dinners are right so i take these rice crackers also from trader joe's these like little round ones that are good for like dipping they're not like the big rice cakes they're like

the little flat rice crackers uh just like the plain salted ones i take this dark chocolate 85 bar and i'll break it up and then i'll just like sometimes i do this when i'm like editing my podcast or like i'll randomly do it throughout the day like i'm not really eating anything substantial I'm literally just like snacking so I'll do the cracker and then I'll put a little square of the dark chocolate on it and eat that or what I've been doing is the power crunch vanilla protein bar and I'll open it up open the package up like very nicely lay it out and then I cut it into like four sections and then I take a little square of each dark of the dark chocolate bar and I literally had this on a paper towel in bed like midday the other day I'm more of like a

girl lunch person like I always eat a solid dinner because I'm with Corey and we always have like that's the whole point of girl dinner like you're not you realize you only realize this until you or you only realize this when you get into a relationship and live with a man um because when you're living by yourself you're kind of like eating like a mouse or just like eating whatever and you're not really like sitting down to have a full meal with someone so um anyways my dinners are usually very substantial because I live with Corey and because I like cooking a dinner anyways my lunches can be a little mishmash so I'm like a girl lunch person anyways I'm like in bed with this power crunch protein bar and like little squares of

dark chocolate and I like eat one at a time and that's my snack lunch thing um very random very or or I've been doing oh my god like yeah I'm a lunch meat person like I get I get these like turkeys and these salamis and these pastrami I get all the things and like a little provolone and I'll like put mustard on it and roll it up with like a piece of lettuce and just have that I'm like a and this is something I'm trying to like work on I I don't know why I like to sit down at noon or one and to have like a salmon salad or like a chicken salad or like to eat like a full sandwich or like have like a lunch like a typical lunch like I don't know I don't feel like and maybe it's because I work from home like I don't I just have like a little snack thing

like I have like sometimes so in the morning I'll usually have some form of like eggs um like high protein something usually revolving around eggs or like um avocados and healthy fats and shit I don't know what else do I eat in the morning I don't eat a lot in the morning like this is like 11 to noon like I'll do like eggs on a rice cake with avocado I'll do like a protein shake with coffee or I'll do like some sort yeah like a protein shake usually post-workout that holds me over and then like early afternoon I'll have like I'll just go to the fridge and grab some lunch meat you know what I mean I'm not sitting down what I'm saying is I'm not sitting down like a big ass lunch like that to me is not I don't know

um anyways girl dinner uh that's kind of what I've been doing what else have I grabbed recently yeah um because I like I have a sweet tooth I feel like the protein bars do it for me and I'll have one like I'll have a protein bar for lunch instead of lunch very frequently and that's probably not great because it's processed it's not what was I saying earlier I eat super healthy I don't eat processed like I eat protein bars like a couple hundred cows won't kill you and if the ingredients are solid then or they're not that great but like whatever I'm trying my best um like I have these marinated artichokes in the fridge right now that I'm thinking about like sometimes I'll just like have a couple artichokes or like a couple olives um and a cracker

I feel like people are shitting on the girl dinner thing because it's like glorifying glorifying eating like like a little dainty girl and like girls just eat little tiny meals and we're just so dainty and tiny it's like glorifying like eating disorders um and girls are getting on tiktok showing their girl dinner and it's like showing off how little they eat fucking whatever um literally the last two nights we haven't had dinner i think i had yogurt and berries we were watching suits and we had a late lunch i had a protein shake after i worked out with him like a pretty big one and then we had chicken salads kind of like 2 or 3 p.m and then he wasn't hungry for dinner at all. We were watching Suits and I was kind of hungry. So I

had like Greek yogurt and berries and with honey. I've been eating a lot of honey lately. I've nerded out about the benefits of honey. So I've been eating a lot of honey. And then I realized like he actually was attempting a girl dinner last night and I shut him down because I think it was the last jerky stick. And I was like, I really don't want him to eat that because I want to have that tomorrow for my snack. That was really mean of me. And it was also like late and I was trying to like convince him like I probably shouldn't eat this late he literally was hungry because he goes I haven't had dinner and then he like grabbed a chomps beef jerky stick out of the pantry and he's like he's like I kind of want this right now I'm like honey it's late

like do you want tea because I was making tea I'm such a cunt um he was trying to have girl dinner he was he went to get he was like I haven't had an official dinner yet and we just watched suits for like four hours like binge watched it we had a late lunch and that's what he said he goes we had a late lunch I didn't really have dinner I was holding the jerky stick like I want this and I shut him down that was not nice and then he went to bed hungry but hey he's gonna lose five pounds this week with me and it's gonna be wonderful I told you I think on my patreon vlog since I met him I put on 15 fucking pounds okay and I've been lifting okay was it really 15 yeah 15 um but I was also in a dark place when I met him or like I just broke up

with my ex I was cheated on I wasn't eating I was one of those things I was kind of like tiny at the time because of that and I wasn't having like my lifestyle wasn't super healthy um but anyways i don't think there's anything wrong with like wanting to drop a few pounds just to like feel i feel like it's everyone knows what i'm talking about if you have a body and you're on this planet and you give a shit about your health and your appearance and you're just how you look overall um we know what that extra five feels like it's just like i'm sick of it i'm like i just want it off so um also i'm getting married and like that's what you do you get really skinny your decollete needs to be like your collarbones need to be popping out of your dress

and you need to look as emaciated as possible so like we're a year out and I'm losing the first five with my fiance as a weekly goal this week and it's crazy like I just I have such a healthy relationship now with my body and my diet and my like my fitness you know it's it's not toxic anymore and I feel like there's that's it's okay like I think it shouldn't be like oh you don't need to lose weight or it's not about like it's like no I know my body better than you better than anyone and I know when I feel my best and I just want to like de-puff just seem to like just like drain out my lymphatic system oh my god I'm joking um yeah I just like to have like little goals with like it's nothing crazy I don't know why I'm even

talking I think it's so boring to like talk about like diet and fitness all day long and like that's all you fucking care about or do but like when you live with someone and you're like eating and you're like trying to be healthy together it's like you mention it you talk about it um and we're both really good accountability buddies and so yeah we're just trying to make each other better no phones before bed you know what I'm saying like reading books all the healthy things I'm like trying to help him with his water intake um you know I like got him drinking a lot more water he's doing all these like things that he wasn't doing before because of me and vice versa like I'm doing things um he's like taught me a lot of things for like it's mostly like financial advice

stuff so um wedding planning should we get into this I was gonna do a rapid fire I didn't do this in the beginning my rapid fire my life story and my podcast story um because I probably have a new listener or two or three or five or ten I don't know who don't really know my backstory and how I even got here you're just like listening so maybe it would be helpful to tell you the background am I asking a question it's funny how my dog so Jimmy my golden retriever he knows when you're asking a question it's so cute and he tilts his head if you say do you do you do you wanna go outside do you want to go on a walk like he knows it's crazy like dogs i know and louis our little um english bulldog he's almost two this year um i finally i'm like he's so stubborn and like

he's the kind of dog english bulldogs are just so stubborn it's just they're the breed but he's the kind of dog where you're like i don't think anything i'm saying is going is getting by like is processing in his mind or like he's not comprehending a single word he's never listening but I finally figured out the word and it's ball he finally starts to shoot his head over as soon as if you say ball he'll wherever he's at he'll look at you like and his eyes will get all huge because he loves playing with his balls like he is a ball the most ball obsessed dog I've ever been around more so than my golden retriever which is insane like Jimmy could care he could give two fucks about playing fetch like it's weird and I think it's because Louie is like

obnoxious about it and it's just like Jimmy's just like I'm not even gonna try because anytime we throw a ball Louie gets it our little tiny like our little chunky English bulldog but um he finally like gets a word where he knows how to sit he knows how to shakes uh lay down like he knows a few of the basics but ball is the new word why am I telling this story oh I'm talking like a question and I'm like um oh I was like should I do my life story should I tell you how I got here um we talked about girl dinner oh you know how I was mentioning I have a few things here on my notes how to date um it's so funny when I talk to people about my podcast they're like their advice to me is like Jacqueline you should give you should talk about like girly things like

makeup tips skincare fashion like dating advice like just like talk about like stuff girls are into and I'm like I definitely do that but it's mostly like it's not like I niche down and I'm the makeup chick or like the fashion girl or like the dating advice girl like you know what I mean so um I don't know I think the whole I'm definitely a little fish in a big pond or what's the the um analogy when you don't niche down and you're in the podcast space you're definitely like a needle in a haystack because how are people gonna find you and who cares if you're like literally no one with a name like a big name like it's not like I have an established career in acting and people know me like an Angelina Jolie and then I come out with a podcast you

know what I mean so when you just like show up to the internet and you're like hi I'm Jacqueline this is my life story and you know this week my fiance tried to show me his giant shit in the toilet and I told him that you know like it's like you it's like going to the internet and telling stories like that and just telling telling people about your day-to-day and expecting them to like be interested it's like the only value is like the entertainment of someone is the only value in my opinion because I listen to other podcasts like this is there's like a sense of um you really feel like you can relate to them or it's you're like vegging out on someone else's life and you're like indulging in their story and and what's going on and it's like gossipy

and interesting and entertaining and it's like you're a friend you're like talking to them on the phone you know what I mean it's like that kind of vibe it's not like I'm sitting here educating you on you know how to crochet a sweater so um oh men's how to date that's why I got or that's what I was saying I have how to date men's grooming I wrote that I'm into dude bro science and I wrote that I have sensory issues to jewelry because of the pandemic um yeah Corey thinks I should give out men's grooming advice and I'm like I don't feel like I'm well versed enough in shaving beard like I don't know why I said like men's grooming like hygiene tips for men um I don't know just never skip it like just always do it

I mean I'm a little bit of a clean freak with my hygiene routine just because I like to feel good I like to feel clean I like to feel nice I like to smell good I like to be you know so it's like taking pride in your body and your and like how you look around other people and like people like people see you they're like oh she's clean she smells good you know it's like why am I he wants me do a men's grooming tips like um i think it's cool to have like a signature scent his is mont blanc his scent and like every time i smell i'm like oh my fucking it's the best cologne i've ever smelled um he's like two what's the other one he uses i don't know but like he has a signature scent um i don't know like take care of your oh if you're balding this is like a thing i didn't

know until TikTok like if you're balding or if you're like going bald like there's ways you can like slow that down and like improve it and I think a lot of chicks are coming on talking about like their man going bald or like guys they've dated complaining about going bald it's like girls if that was a girl going bald like she would do anything she would go the distance to keep her hair and like figure it out or men just like let it happen and complain not knowing that there's things you could do to um like slow that process down and like get your hair back or whatever um and I didn't know any of this there's like keeps right is that one of the sponsors for a lot of podcasts it's like a supplement maybe or something you take for your hair growth um yeah anyways

um but yeah take care of what's like a random men's grooming tip your nails are really important like clean nails trimmed um like scrub your feet in the shower like if you don't wash your feet like start washing your feet um signature scent um i don't know like trim things okay this is just my preference and if this is you like and your woman loves it then you know great but I feel like there's some guys that could do some laser hair removal if they're like fully hairy front to back all up and down like maybe some like stomach and back laser hair removal just to like because sometimes like I don't know like hair is fine like I don't mind I don't mind hair like at all but there's like a there's some levels of it where it's like okay

maybe you could trim that or like laser it off um mustaches are hot like change it up oh yeah that's something i like cory will frequently like change up his beard situation and like he'll just like mustache it for a week and i'm like that's keeping things interesting it's kind of like when a girl gets her hair dyed or like cuts it different or styles a difference kind of same thing for guys like doing a little a little mustache a little but he doesn't do full stache he'll like keep a little bit of a beard going like super like short i don't know um yeah men's grooming tips let me just move on i want to talk about how um

i wrote sensory issues to jewelry during the pandemic yeah i don't know i was watching a a reel or something on Instagram and she was like putting on one of these influencers influencers I follow was putting on her daily jewelry and I was like oh my god this is my living hell like I don't know why but like during the pandemic I obviously stopped dressing myself every day I was like working from home always in sweatpants like always just really casually dressed and comfortably dressed and I stopped wearing jewelry and so now whenever I wear a ton of it I just feel like it gives me sensory issues like too many rings on my fingers like make me feel it's like I want to scrub it off I want to rip it off like now like especially bracelets like

I used to stack a bunch of bracelets and now I'm like I hate having anything on my wrist um bracelets and rings are like annoying for me to wear like a ton of um and then but now it's like if if i'm going out to a nice dinner like a special occasion an event that's when i wear jewelry and then day to day it's like obviously my engagement ring because obviously this motherfucker is I just can't believe it's on my I mean it is so beautiful um I'm definitely the point now with my engagement ring where it's like I don't I like it's like part of my body where when I first got it when he first proposed and everything like the first couple months I was constantly I was like hyper aware of it and constantly staring at it but now it's like

part of me and I'm not like freaking out all the time if I'm like because I used to like constantly check check it um yeah what am I saying and then what was the last thing around here why didn't why is this the end of the episode I'm into dude bro science so I've been eating a lot of steak okay I follow carnivore Aurelius is that how you say that Aurelius on Instagram and I think his approach is extremely like I guess what's the term dogmatic he's a dogmatic and his ideas about health and wellness but like honestly kind of like on point at the same time like everything he said about steak makes sense to me especially when I eat steak I'm like oh why do I feel so great why does this taste so amazing why do I feel so satiated and so like

energized after steak like there's something to it so I've been giving a giving the carnivore stuff a try like I don't eat fully carnivore like I don't sit and eat butter and like what is the other thing he he drinks a lot of orange juice I did get some orange juice for the beach the other day because apparently it helps like prevent sunburn internally I don't know I also haven't been wearing okay this is like probably not good but like he claims that it's the best thing ever like don't put chemicals and sunscreen all over your body um he's like like really against seed oils. Like now I'm like super against seed oils too. Um, but he said that if you drink like a hundred percent orange juice while you're laying out in the sun, it'll help prevent sunburn

internally and shit. I don't know. So I've been nerding out to the carnivore dude, bro science stuff. Um, something I've, I've been avoiding is cold plunging because, so I, I have a cold plunge at my gym there's like a bunch of them and I feel like the time to do it is first thing in the morning and then you work out but like that would mean I have to like change and like I'm wet after a cold plunge and then I have to go work out I don't know just the routine of that I feel like I have to wake up earlier and it's it's like a whole routine so I think I'm gonna start cold plunging on the weekends or something in like as a replacement to my workout and I'll do the cold plunge sauna thing but like i'm into all this shit like i'm one of those people like fucking

all the humor like i i think i bitched about it on maybe the last episode or two ago but like i'm into all the huberman tips and tricks the you know what i mean like i love wellness tips i love all i love learning all these things um and i dabble but uh recently i guess i'm what I'm saying is I've been eating a lot more steak and red meat and I've been feeling fucking amazing and every time like I'm like why do we eat so much chicken and salmon and shit I'm like I like salmon's great I love I chicken sucks like honestly chicken sucks like every time we have like a big steak for dinner I'm like fuck yeah we'll have like steak and um I'll make like really good like broccoli and people have like avocado and maybe an egg on top or something some kimchi

I used to be vegan for three years and I don't know there's there's so much evidence for everything like being great like it's so like like I was saying earlier what it's just like pick a lane you know what I mean like on the internet and just like stick to it because there's going to be another lane that completely countered it contradicts um whatever lane you're going down it's just so annoying but um I was watching this doctor talk about his patients um and their diets and he was saying how he has he's seen extremely sick vegans and extremely sick carnivore people and like everything in between he goes at the end of the day it's all about whole foods cutting out the processed crap and I think that's the

point like when people go more carnivore what they're really doing is cutting out all the little bullshit uh ingredients and all the processed chemicals and in the boxed and wrapped foods they've been eating you know and and it yeah so it gets that stuff out of your system over time if you stick to it so meat and steak is this pod how did i do kind of feeling like a c plus effort here right now not to shit on my own episode but um we didn't really talk about wedding planning we keep going back and forth and everyone tells us it tells us this they're like you're gonna change your ideas like three times the wedding's gonna change like three times so we have like the blueprint of the big idea and then this weekend we were like laying in bed

talking about a smaller idea that eliminates one part of the big idea so it's like just a party a lope of ceremony plus a party plus an after party plus a huge bachelor bachelorette trip and do it we're doing all those things like or like just no we're not just gonna like we've talked we've talked about like every scenario and I'm like look we need to just pick it and like no we can't waver we have to like whatever the blueprint is we need to like stick to it um so yeah that's been kind of interesting like wedding planning and just like going back and forth um I definitely need to allocate more time towards it I feel like I don't know the clock's ticking and I'm like shit um but I'm trying to think about wedding planning stuff um and we might

change the date again so yeah that's the that's the update I need to like plan for like dress shopping and showers and uh maybe that's later and that's next year but if we do it sooner then yeah I don't know I think I I have issues with like asking I don't know like I I'm not going to do this all myself but I'm not very I don't think I'm very good about asking for help with it and I need to be better at that um so it's funny every bride I've ever talked to about planning a wedding just oh my god it's so stressful oh my god oh my god like I know exactly what you're going through it's like I was I was having this like dream at the beginning like I remember when we got engaged and we started talking about wedding planning I'm like I just

want this to feel stress-free and I just want to have fun the whole time and I just want to be enjoyable because everyone talks about how stressful it is blah blah it's like bitch you're not like unless you have someone 100% doing it for you like a full-time wedding planner and they're just sending you little samples of like do you like this color or this flower and you're just like oh okay like I'll just pick that it's gonna have an element of like crunch time and stress to it so um anyways if you have any wedding planning tips and tricks and input um I'm open to it just send me a dm um that part is also something I've like ebbed and flowed with like at first I'm like I'm just sick and tired of people giving me suggestions and now I'm like I need as much

help as I can possibly get so um okay I think that's it I think time management how are we doing how are we looking I do have an appointment that I have to get to um I've been seeing a chiropractor so um I think I did okay I'm back I podcast I posted four TikToks today um we're just really excelling at our content creator career um I didn't talk about Maui I did not talk about Taylor Swift's tour I didn't talk about Elon fighting Mark Zuckerberg like what else is going on in the world let me just without talking about it I'm just gonna go on cnn.com wait um cnn what are like the top headlines right now it's probably gonna say like maui and oh my god there's already like conspiracy theories about

maui and like um what are they called like weapons um weather weapons or like fire weapons or they like shoot lasers into the from the sky and like caught like cause the fire to start yeah i've seen some wild shit it's really sad i was just in maui like i literally was standing in a restaurant that is no longer there it's on my instagram there's a picture of me and cory like a couple pic and that restaurant is now in center it's gone it's the whole it's like lahaina is just like it looks like a war zone and it's like how is it sad it's very sad um and the death toll is like 90 something now which is crazy um okay i'm looking at cnn.com

see mark zuckerberg says it's time to move on from elon musk cage fight i don't know there's just so much just nonsense out there just too much information that we don't need to always keep up with and that's what I'm trying to do like I yeah I get like a I glaze over it but I just got to focus on what I can control in this life and my tasks at hand and in my lane and um not that I want that I'm trying to or I it's the whole like ignorance is bliss I don't know is it irresponsible to not have an awareness of what's going on in the world like I feel like some chapters like I remember in college I was read the news all I was like going to school for broadcasting at one point I like didn't go that

route but I remember I would like read the newspapers all the time and read news all the time I was constantly reading I don't know like some chapters in life I'm sure I'll be reading more news and caring more than I do now but like every time I go on the internet it's like a garbage dump it's like a wasteland it's just like I've never that's the thing it's like maybe this is like post pandemic brain or whatever like the fact that we all went through that and it was like such a mind fuck that everything was shut down and so weird like I'm so desensitized to when like crazy things happen I'm like oh yeah of course there's a fire in Maui like oh yeah just another thing it's like it just kind of goes over my head like I'm

not like in shock I'm not like oh my god it is oh my god don't get me wrong but like most headlines now I'm just like oh of course like oh the aliens are here now oh okay like that literally went over everyone's head the biggest news of our lifetime perhaps or like whatever like it's pretty fucking groundbreaking if all that stuff they're coming out with is true about aliens like and and um spaceships and shit like but um what is the term that I've heard before for like how things feel now we're overstimulated and we're underwhelmed that is the vibe that is the feeling of 2023 or like this current time in our lives and um um something that I am trying to work on and I used to have such a sarcastic opinion or like

sarcastic take on this but um where I was just like oh fuck it it's reality I'm just addicted to my phone and it is what it is but something that I think I can control is Corey's calling me right now is being on my phone less like literally just like intentionally shutting it off or like putting it to the side and being more focused in my life because I think the reason why oh my god there's a golden retriever puppy holy shit so cute the reason why things feel oh like feel like you're overstimulated and underwhelmed is because you're overstimulated you're just oh so don't stimulate yourself so much and it's easier said than done like truly but um one little thing I'm doing and it's small and we're literally just doing it for seven days to try it

out and we're really committing to it is the whole like no phone in bed like that seems like such an easy thing to do but we don't do that all the time like so just like because I want life to feel like life just feels so weird does anyone else feel this way things just all they all everything feels weird like I'm trying to be more in the moment more off my phone more like grounded or mindful all those things um because everywhere I look it's just like I just I'm like tripping I'm like what is this world um especially obviously when you go on social media it's like it makes you feel that way so the less you're on it the less you'll probably feel like feel like that and the more like zen you'll feel

and um I don't know why I feel like I've dabbled in all of the like wellness things in the past and I've like gone in really deep and like the mindset wellness like gone in deep I've dabbled for a long time I feel like I'm veering back in that direction and like kind of going hard with right now like I'm just like trying to be more like healthy and mindful I guess cool all right cool story um because I feel like I've kind of gotten away from it and I've kind of ignored it like ah fuck it I'll just be on my phone I'm just I'm a content creator oh I'm like TikTok's fun to scroll on at 11 p.m when it's three hours past your bedtime like oh whatever fuck it you know I'm just just life now no no it's like no I want to have I think the word is discipline I think

the current goal of mine is to be more disciplined or the current theme of my life is to be more disciplined. Cool. I'm going to leave you with that not to quote Jocko, but discipline equals freedom. No true words have ever been said. Um, and that is the theme of my life right now because that's the only way I'm going to overcome my time management, um, fiasco that I'm dealing with. Like if I'm just more disciplined with my time, I won't feel that way. So kumbaya all as well. Thank you for listening. Thanks for being here.
