Anxiety Attacks, Neck Surgery, and the Power of Positive Thinking
Have you ever noticed how your thoughts can transform your entire day? In this deeply personal episode, we explore the profound impact our thinking patterns have on both our mental and physical wellbeing.
The conversation begins with catching up after Jenn’s neck surgery and Allison's upcoming European adventure, but quickly evolves into something more profound. When negative thoughts spiral, your body can't distinguish between imagined threats and real ones—triggering physical responses that mirror genuine danger situations. This fascinating mind-body connection explains why affirmations aren't just empty words, but powerful signals that tell your body you're safe.
We share raw stories about our experiences with debilitating panic attacks, from mysterious episodes that struck during concerts to the bizarre physical symptoms few people talk about—uncontrollable shaking, swollen tongues, and stomach distress that seemed to come from nowhere. For those who've experienced similar episodes, there's validation in knowing you're not alone, along with practical techniques for breaking the cycle of panic.
Beyond anxiety management, we explore how reframing situations—from travel anxiety to traffic delays—can transform frustrating experiences into meaningful ones. That delayed flight? Maybe it's protecting you from something else. The traffic jam? Perhaps it's a sign to slow down.
Whether you're struggling with anxious thoughts or simply curious about the science behind positive thinking, this episode offers both comfort and practical tools for redirecting negative thought patterns. Remember: you are not your thoughts, but your thoughts have tremendous power to shape your reality.
I'm Allison and I'm Jen. Welcome to our podcast. Retirement Plan Secured.
Speaker 2:Hello hello.
Speaker 1:Hello. It's been a couple weeks, it's been like two weeks actually, almost two weeks yeah, and we have a lot to catch up on, mainly because Jen is currently in a neck brace.
Speaker 2:Recovering from surgery. It's funny because if you think back to like when we first started the podcast and I was like talking about how I quit my job and I got an MRI and there was some stuff going on with my neck, and now here we are, surgery is complete.
Speaker 1:And you're doing good yeah.
Speaker 2:Doing all right. I mean it's it was super painful and it was definitely not something that I wanted to do. But, um, on the road to recovery, hopefully in the next four weeks I will be good, although I spoke to the doctor today and I was like so when can I sprint and when can I do high interval training? And she's like not for like six months. So I'm really pissed about that.
Speaker 1:Really that's a long time I know, but you could walk and stuff right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, you have to walk like right away after surgery, after this, yes, all right.
Speaker 1:So maybe instead of doing like your running and stuff like that, you're sprinting and interval training just make sure you get out and do the walks every day yeah, I've been doing that, but like I'm hyperactive, I literally like my fucking skin is crawling, like I just want to like you need to slow down this was.
Speaker 2:This was your sign to slow down yeah, well, it was a forcing mechanism, for sure, um, but it's all good. I just have like a really gnarly scar across my neck because they went from the front and can't really sleep well with this brace on.
Speaker 1:But I'm really glad that it didn't affect your vocal cords, because you're the voice of an angel. Thank you.
Speaker 2:I'm so happy that you said that We'll get off this topic in a second, but I want to tell you what I did to the doctor, Because I didn't even mean to do this. But like literally 30 minutes before the surgery, he comes in and he's like hi, are you ready? And I'm like, yeah, I was like I just have one question Will I be able to sing again? Literally like stops. He's like what do you mean? I'm like am I going to be able to sing again? Cause I was doing all this research on Tik TOK about the surgery and he, his face drops's like are you a singer? And I'm like, well, yeah, in the car and in the shower and he was like oh.
Speaker 1:I would have been like what you've never heard of me.
Speaker 2:I was like Jen, if your profession is not singing, then I'm not worried. We have to change the entire surgery and we have to go through your back and I was like, oh. I was like, okay, we're good.
Speaker 1:I'm not a real singer, I'm just a fake singer.
Speaker 2:My sister was there and she's dying laughing. She's like yo. You had to see his face. It was so funny.
Speaker 1:You should have kept it going for a little bit. Well, I was serious, because I really do take my singing seriously me too, actually, but I'll never let anyone outside this house hear me sing. I've heard you sing.
Speaker 2:We sing together in the car.
Speaker 1:It's awful maybe I would need some surgery to fix my vocal cords.
Speaker 2:Well, this surgery is very serious because, like a lot of people, their vocal cords get paralyzed. Like I mean, it's not yeah, no like I can imagine it's scary. I was scared about that I honestly thought I was.
Speaker 1:I will tell you this. I didn't say this to you yet, but I I really thought that your voice is gonna be weird after everybody's voice is weird after no, your voice wasn't at all.
Speaker 2:No it was fine, it was I. I lost it for like an hour, like the first day I talked to you in my head. I'm like voice is normal, thank god yeah, so then I'm watching all these tiktoks because they literally went down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 1:I was scared. Our podcast was gonna plummet after they heard your voice.
Speaker 2:But we're doing good, we're doing no, I still have the voice of an angel. But the um, the people on tiktok, they're like, uh, I don't feel it. Yeah, like they're just kind of like oh, my voice really hurts and I was shitting a brick. I'm like I'm gonna sound so bad after this and I was totally fine I think I scared him where he was. Like I gotta watch this one's vocal cords he was probably like going in so slow.
Speaker 1:Anyway, meanwhile they're probably like singing in the operating room, I don't know it was fucking terrifying.
Speaker 2:The whole thing was a nightmare I have like that's why I want to sprint, so I can get this out of me like the trauma but, I guess I have to resort to like other things, like maybe therapy yeah, having surgery is really scary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it sucks, but anyways anyways, something fun.
Speaker 2:You're like getting ready to leave for fucking greece and italy in like what?
Speaker 1:12 hours, eight hours yeah well, our flight is not until 5 30 tomorrow night. Tomorrow night, oh good, but yeah. So like last minute, literally less than five days ago, mike was like, oh, we're gonna go on vacation. Uh, at first he wasn't telling me where and then I was like, no, oh, we're going to go on vacation. At first he wasn't telling me where, and then I was like, no, you just need to tell me. I don't love flying, I don't love this whole thing. So he told me we're going to Greece, and then I thought we were going to stay there the whole. Like what is it? Six days, seven days or whatever, but then, midway through, we're going to go to Italy for a few days and then fly home. Yeah Well, that'll be fun.
Speaker 1:It breaks it up and you get like, because it is far, yeah, I feel like I wish we had more time, but I'm fine with just cramming things in also, yeah, so I just finished packing most of our stuff. I just have to throw in like the last minute couple of things. Then I made sure Mike's like my carry-on is very light. I'm like, no, it's purposely done that way so that you have a basically empty carry-on so I can shop and bring a ton of stuff back. And then I weighed the suitcase and it's like 49 pounds, oh my god, you're out of your fucking mind listen, I don't have that much stuff, like I don't have that much clothes.
Speaker 1:I have 49 pounds two outfits, but that's for the both of us okay, that's not bad then, but still, that's a lot.
Speaker 2:I have like two outfits a day when I go to europe I bring like a carry-on and that's it no, I can't.
Speaker 1:I can't do that, it's impossible. And I didn't bring any makeup.
Speaker 1:I have no makeup, you don't need it all I have is you're all tan like a blush yeah, like a blush stick and a highlighter stick, that's it, yeah. And you know what, whatever my sunscreen and I didn't bring like I bought the bare minimum of my skincare at night, I just have one serum and my moisturizer and that's it. During the day, I just have my moisturizer, my sunscreen, like I'm not bringing a ton of stuff. I only have like three pairs of sandals. I didn't bring any heels. I'm going to bring a pair of sneakers. I actually went and bought new sneakers today. Did you ever try on the on clouds yet? Yeah, I love them, oh my God. So I bought two pairs actually, because I couldn't figure out which one I like best which ones, the running ones.
Speaker 1:I don't know which ones they are. One's like an on cloud for something or other. One's a little bit thicker than the other, one's white and one's like a beige color, but I don't know.
Speaker 2:I like them so much better than the Hoka sneaker.
Speaker 1:Oh, the Hoka sneakers look weird to me. I never liked them, I can't, I just can't, yeah. But these look like they're going to be super comfortable. So I'll bring a pair of sneakers with me and that's it. Good, he has all his stuff packed.
Speaker 2:That's so exciting. I'm going to Italy in September Are you definitely going to go. Yeah, yeah, we were planning on going and you're definitely gonna go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, we were planning on going and, um, I just gotta like book it. I didn't book it yet. Oh, we don't even have a hotel in italy.
Speaker 2:Yet where do you want to stay? Naples? You're going to like to the coast.
Speaker 1:We're going, we're flying to naples and then we're gonna go to sorrento, but we don't have a hotel yet there yet.
Speaker 2:So Sorrento is nice, but like I mean, if you're gonna go to Sorrento, you might as well drive all the way to fucking Positano, just for the day well.
Speaker 1:So I found a boat tour that goes from Sorrento. It takes you to Capri and Positano and then back okay, that's good.
Speaker 2:So I was like maybe we'll do that and then you have to remember, like. So one thing you should know if the water is choppy, it's like you like ferries don't run, like the boats don't go out. So you have to, like, have a plan b yeah, my plan b will.
Speaker 1:Just, we'll figure it out, it'll be fine. Yeah, you could always get a cab and take yeah so see, I'm excited, I'm nervous, don't be nervous I made all my flight attendants little gift bags that's ridiculous so that they can check on me ridiculous.
Speaker 2:And I saw your tiktok and I was like she did not fucking do this yes, I did.
Speaker 1:It's really well, first, of all these people's jobs are totally underrated like get out of here, they fucking.
Speaker 2:They love their jobs. They get to travel the world. They get off the plane and they go in. Oh you know what.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna let them know that I appreciate them. It cost me like, basically like not even five dollars a little bag, oh my god. And when there's turbulence or if there's turbulence, god hope that there's not any turbulence they're gonna come check on me and make sure that I'm still breathing in my chair, that's it, you're fine, it's a fine flight. It'll, it'll be fine just, we're actually on a double-decker plane yeah, you know what you should download on spotify meditation music put you to sleep.
Speaker 1:You know what I was thinking of doing tomorrow in the morning. Um, there's a couple like massage places over here. I'm like maybe I'll go for a full body massage because I feel like those just make you so relaxed.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh, maybe it'll just make me like anytime I've gotten a full body massage, I'm so tired after you gotta drink a lot of water, though, because it releases toxins, and then you're on a plane so you can get sick, so you probably shouldn't do that probably the best idea, then huh yeah and don't wear a fucking romper on the plane either no, I wore compression socks actually.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's good, because so I have like a. I don't know what I did to my leg like I have like a. I don't know what I did to my leg Like I have like. Maybe I pulled a muscle in my shin or but now it kind of feels like a knot. Yeah, it's a shin splint. So yeah.
Speaker 2:So wear sneakers as much as you can, not those like flats, I know.
Speaker 1:And then I bought compression socks because I was, you know, googling and it said that compression socks would help.
Speaker 2:So good because I was, you know, googling and it said that compression socks would help. So good, lily, my daughter, and Brett, my boyfriend, were so very sweet and kind during this whole process of the surgery and, like the recovery period, like I literally can't do anything, I can't lift anything like and I am just a doer. So this is very hard for me. But lily was doing like the dishes and the dishwasher and like she's so good yeah, like they're really good.
Speaker 2:I was like thank you guys so much, because I mean I was still like sweeping and they're like put this, put the broom down. That's like couldn't help myself.
Speaker 1:You can't help yourself, right? I know myself. It's so bad. We're so used to doing so much yeah so, um.
Speaker 2:So what's the topic of today?
Speaker 1:thought patterns and how your thought patterns are not really.
Speaker 2:You are not your thought patterns you're, not your thoughts, and your thoughts can, in fact, change your surroundings and your well-being, which is like wild to me. I went down this rabbit hole a number of times and I consistently like read up on it, mm-hmm. If you think that, like your world is doomed and you're depressed, and like everything is said and blah, blah, blah, your body reads that as a lion is chasing me or I'm about to die, someone is going to shoot me, like it's just, your body reacts in such a visceral way to those thoughts, and so it's so important to leverage words of affirmation and look at yourself in the mirror and be like I am loved, I love myself, I am deserving. You know things like that to support your wellbeing, your mental state and even your physical state.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I totally agree with that. I feel like if you have a positive mindset about things, like if you go like, for example, I'm going on a plane tomorrow and I hate planes, and instead of constantly telling myself and hyping myself into an anxiety attack, I need to literally just be like it's fine, it's not a big deal, Like yeah, you're in the car.
Speaker 2:It's like being in a car.
Speaker 1:Way to travel. Literally, you're fine, it's not a big deal. The plane is in jello, you hit a pothole, like yeah, you know, everything's going to be fine, it's all going to be worth it in the end, it's not a big deal. And then I feel like coming home is always the worst for me too, cause I'm just like, oh, I want to be home already, I want it over. But then it's like again, I have to be like it's fine, I'm going home, that's it. There's one way here and there's one way back.
Speaker 2:So you know, you just have to hype yourself up well, you just also need to like make friends if you want. Especially I don't talk to strangers, oh, I do I talk to everybody? I made like the sweetest friend on the way back from Italy my last trip where he was an older man. He had a barbershop in like Westchester. We talked for like four hours. It was incredible.
Speaker 1:I mean, maybe it all depends on the person. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I know it is a crowd, if I get like a really sweet old lady. I might just be able to talk the entire time yeah, yeah, I was so fortunate to have him because he was great sometimes that see we probably, you probably needed that, I did. I absolutely did.
Speaker 1:I needed to like talk about nothing and everything you know yeah, but mean I do feel like there's times that obviously for some people that are going through things bigger than that, that they can't always just change their thought process, because it's hard, I know it's not easy, especially if something very serious has happened in someone's life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really hard to work through, but the thought there is that like you can't hide from those feelings, you have to live through them right and come they will pass and that's a really big thing.
Speaker 1:My mom used to always say it's gonna pass like, this is gonna pass, like it's fine.
Speaker 2:But you have to let it right. Some people run away from it and they just like keep avoiding certain things that have happened or thinking about something, and, yeah, you just gotta let it pass right through you. And a lot of times you gotta like kind of like visualize it like all right, see, it's here, it's happening.
Speaker 2:I'm feeling this go through the motions um, yeah, it's hard, it's really hard, it's not easy, but but I like what you said, though, like you have to think positively in order to attract positive and good things to you. In a lot of ways, um, I always think, oh my god, I'm stuck in traffic, that's okay. That means that I'm missing something, like maybe I'm avoiding an accident right now, or isn't that the whole the burnt toast theory, or something like that?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't know if I've ever heard of I think it's called the burnt toast theory like you, toast, and you have to do it again, so you lose time yeah I guess that's a good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's exactly it yeah, but I do feel like if I'm in like trying to race somewhere, and there's someone in front of me and I'm like, oh my god, why is this person going so slow? But there's a reason why I'm not getting where I want to go as fast as I want to go, right, like I just feel like the divine timing, or God or whatever you want to say, is like telling you to slow down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you accept it, and you just stay positive.
Speaker 1:I feel like some people don't think of that, but like I think there's, like there's signs everywhere and you know there's little things like that there are signs everywhere all the time yeah, and like that, right, there could signs everywhere all the time yeah, and like that right there could be either a small sign or a big sign, depending on how you look at it.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:And even, like just in general, like hyping yourself out of a situation is just you could be like worrying about something so bad and like trying to hype yourself out of it and then, like you see, you see, like I don't know a butterfly and it kind of like just takes your mind off of the whole thing or like whatever you're driving, you're hyping yourself out of something yeah yeah, you see, like something.
Speaker 1:You're like oh, that reminds me of blah, blah, blah. And now you're thinking of something totally different. It's 20 minutes later and you're like oh shit, I just pulled myself out of whatever.
Speaker 2:I've had some horrible panic attacks that come out of nowhere. There's no reason for them. I know you've experienced this too. My most recent one, I was actually at the knockdown center at a concert and I was just standing there minding my own business and it was like my breath got taken away from me and I couldn't breathe and I started to panic and I had to talk myself out of it immediately before I spiraled.
Speaker 2:So like I just kind of like took a deep breath, took a step back, looked around I always look for something yellow, because like I don't know where I got that from, but it's just like something to like ground you get you out of it. And then I started to concentrate on my breath, but like that it's like absolutely debilitating. This is the worst feeling ever. I don't even know where it's coming from or why.
Speaker 1:Sometimes so I feel like it. I've noticed that when I was getting like panic attacks, like the bad panic attacks, it was right before my period and like not every single period, it would be like every like four to six months or like once a year. I got one once with mike really bad when we were first dating. Like maybe, like I don't know, five months in. We went to a ranger game and we were on the way home and I like went into a panic attack on the railroad and like these people were yelling, they wanted to get in the bathroom. Who couldn't get in the bathroom? Like there's a whole bunch of like drunk people on the train and like my hands like started doing the shake thing. Like I don't, does that know? Does that happen to you? Yeah, my lips, my tongue, swell up, yes, and I'm like like doing the whole thing and then in my mind I'm like trying to swallow, but then you know that makes it worse, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, but then I have allergies, so then I'm like, oh my God, my throat's closing up, and then that's so then like I'm popping my gum, I'm like taking baby steps of the water, and he's like what's the matter?
Speaker 1:and I'm like I'm just literally having a panic attack. And he's like, do you want me to tell them to stop yelling? I'm like, no, that's gonna make it worse oh my god like, just like, ignore me. I literally made myself fall asleep on the train. I'm like this man is gonna think that I'm nuts no, you, you have to close. I literally closed my eyes and I passed out. I fell asleep.
Speaker 2:So I had that once with Rhett, where I had a horrible panic attack. I also had an allergy like an allergic reaction earlier in the day, so I had to go to the hospital and then I was just completely like distraught the entire day thinking it was going to come back day, thinking he was gonna come back. Um, I shook like that to sleep, like my body shook so much that I became exhausted and I fell asleep on him, but I was shaking the entire time. Horrible, horrible. Isn't that so weird?
Speaker 1:it's not normal, like I literally thought I was the only one that would have that. The shakes like that like my whole body would go into like a convulsion shake and like I'd be cold. But I'm not cold. Yeah, I get stomach issues with it too yes oh stop it.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what happens so I started doing a lot of research on this because I was like that was just not normal and I noticed it was happening around the time that I was getting my period and did you With the PMDD and histamine. Would you get a headache with it?
Speaker 1:Yes, like prior Prior pressure pressure headache. Yes, like that only happened to me twice the all the other times it just started with like a panic attack. Then I went into the shakes and then like immediate stomach pains. So now I'm on the train. Imagine this on the train, having a panic attack shaking in all my head. I'm thinking, oh, my god, my stomach's gonna start hurting. What am I going to do? We have like 45 minutes ahead of us. What am I going to do? So now we get home, like to the, to the train station, and we both had our cars at the at the train station, because we weren't living together yet. We were only together for I don't know five months, six months. Yeah, when I tell you I was like okay, I gotta go have work in the morning, bye. Got in my car, I raced home. I was texting my mom like unlock the door, I get home. She's like what I'm like I had the worst panic attack ever and I like ran to the bathroom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's very, very hard to navigate.
Speaker 1:I don't know why it happens and now I have like PTSD from it and I always think, think, like is this going to happen again? It just happens out of nowhere.
Speaker 2:So it also depends on, like, the time of year, like there are some things that I was looking up where it could be something called MCAS, m-c-a-s, like histamine intolerance and tied to like periods and like your PMDD, and they say, like maybe you should take Pepsid right, like when you're starting to get those like symptoms right before your period. But I really haven't talked to a specialist because I have no clue and a lot of people go through this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so like we need to find more people that have gone through it.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So like I always try to talk myself out of these things and I say to myself I'm like, okay, you're alive, You're fine, You're breathing fine, Everything is good. And then I'm like, look for something yellow.
Speaker 1:And then I'll be like okay, take five deep breaths, hold them in, Like I just kind of like talk to myself in my head and like I have no idea what's going on around me, like people can be talking to me and I'm like completely ignoring them.
Speaker 2:In my minds, I'm probably like just get me to a bathroom. Yeah, oh, this sucks being a woman. Well, I love being a woman. It just sucks when, like, yeah, me too.
Speaker 1:But this body is in such a state of stress that this comes up you know, will my aura ring now tell me if I'm going to be in a stressful situation?
Speaker 2:yes, so you're going to come to see that the aura ring is so incredible for, like telling you what your stress levels are so, by the way, our last episode I was literally saying that I don't think I could ever wear aura ring.
Speaker 1:And then, like three days later, I can. The aura rings were on sale. I don't think I could ever wear an aura ring. And then, like three days later, the aura rings were on sale. I was like, okay, I might as well try one. And then I ordered it. And then, when I ordered it, I was like this, better get here before I go away so that I could kind of like play with it on the plane.
Speaker 2:Don't forget your charger. I packed it already, so you'll see, you have to have enough time with the ring for your app to like give you stats, but eventually it'll track your body temperature. It'll tell you exactly when your period is supposed to come. Oh, I can't wait, and I've been having some issues with mine, where I was getting it every 16 days and it was showing me my body temperature was really weird. My stress levels while I was working were through the roof.
Speaker 1:I'm excited to see if it um aligns with my anito. I do like um a fertility tracker, like you yeah, I would love to know the stick and that gives you like your estrogen, your LH or FSH. So I'm like wondering if it like aligns with when I'm ovulating and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can test it, yeah you're once it gets to know you, it really has to just kind of track you a little bit. Yeah, I'm excited. I'll tell you how much younger your cardiovascular is, which mine is nine years now. It was 10 and a half and then I guess because of the surgery I haven't been very mobile it went down.
Speaker 1:Can we like be friends on it and like see each other's thing? Is it like the Apple Watch? I don't know. That's a good question. Remember, like on the Apple Watch, that we would give each other challenges, we would do exercises. I used to know, like when it would be a week that I was gonna like hit the gym every day, and then I would always do yeah, challenge with you and I'd be like what the hell.
Speaker 1:I knew I wasn't gonna beat you any other way unless I knew I was gonna be at the gym four days that week yes, um, it says refer a friend.
Speaker 2:I'll play with it and take a look yeah, I'll do it tomorrow.
Speaker 1:While I'm on my flight, give me something to do, please yes, I hope you have wi-fi so we can talk if?
Speaker 1:let me tell you right now, if there was no wi-fi on that plane tomorrow, you were gonna hear about it on the news because I will lose my mind. We went to Nashville last year and there was no wi-fi and, like I don't know, two and a half hour flight. You would have thought, like I was a princess, that I was complaining to Mike. The entire time I just kept refreshing my Instagram, refreshing my TikTok, refreshing Facebook, and I don't even go on Facebook. I was like this is the word. And there was no TVs.
Speaker 2:That's why you need to download Netflix shows and stuff.
Speaker 1:Because that's why I didn't know this. I had no idea?
Speaker 2:yeah, because I I did not have good wi-fi. Um, I just came back from ireland in march, april, and there was no wi-fi.
Speaker 1:Oh, I would be so I'm telling you yeah like crapped out. So anyone, anyone on this. Anyone listens to this podcast? That was on my nashville flight. They were probably like this girl needs to shut the fuck up. I was like I can't believe the Wi-Fi isn't working. Is yours working yet?
Speaker 2:Because mine's not Is your Wi-Fi working Mike's like no, I'm like dude I love long flights because I watch the most absurd shit Like I watch like Annabelle 2.
Speaker 1:Like the dumbest movies that you would never watch. So today I watched on netflix and I'm actually so mad I should have saved it till tomorrow. There was a three episode documentary about this girl, amy, that went missing on a cruise ship. You need to watch it. Watch it. I don't even know what it's called. Something about amy. It's like the new thing on netflix. It just came out. Okay, and I'm so mad. I should have waited till tomorrow to watch it, because three episodes blew by. It sucked me in. You need to watch it.
Speaker 2:See if you can download the Better Sister. Did you watch that? No, it's a good deal. I watched it when I got back from surgery and I had nothing else to do and I it was really good yeah, okay how do I download it I? Gotta download like onto my computer yeah, you can download onto your phone, because if your computer doesn't work, I don't know, I did I. I usually just do on my phone. Yeah, I can do it on my phone.
Speaker 2:I'll do it tomorrow and then you know what I'm watching now, which, by the way, you know me, I don't watch shows, I don't watch shit. But because I can't do anything because of surgery, I've been watching back-to-back episodes of the good place. I know how is that. It's um, it's actually so funny. It's what's her name? She's the funny girl. What is it about? It is about, basically, she dies. Her name is kristen bell sorry, kristen bell. So she dies and goes to hell and hell is like pretty much like nothing, crazy, um, in the first couple episodes it's just like they're tricking them into thinking it's the good place when it's not, because everything's going wrong, and then she ends up like meeting her soulmate and it's actually really so. Um, captivating for me for some reason, because it's like mindless, so I just keep watching is it new or old?
Speaker 2:no, it's like I think it came out like 2018. Oh, I don't know, I never watched it and I just started watching it because I don't watch that other shit. I don't watch love island, whatever oh my god you should have watched love island no, I heard that they all have herpes and I'm not interested in that?
Speaker 2:yeah, no I mean something like a real or something, and like when they're all in their little rooms. I guess they go into like a room to talk, okay, and they all have like cold sores all over their mouths because, they don't.
Speaker 1:That's all. That's fake news. That's not real. I watched the whole series.
Speaker 2:They don't all have herpes oh my god they definitely don't all have herpes I haven't watched one episode of that. What is it on anyway? Is it on Netflix?
Speaker 1:no, it's on Peacock, um, but anyways. Anyways, they don't all have herpes, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:All right, I think we kind of touched a little bit on having positive thoughts, so that not only could you attract good things into your life, but also trick your brain into thinking that you're in a good place, so that you have good days as much as possible and then, if you just trick your brain enough, you'll go completely off topic, like we have, and you will be perfectly fine, completely distract yourself from anything else.
Speaker 1:Or maybe just listen to us, because we will take you on a tangent through a whole different Honestly, we are so good for that.
