WEBVTT
00:00:09.069 --> 00:00:13.692
I can't Happy Halloween, happy Halloween.
00:00:14.554 --> 00:00:15.455
Man.
00:00:16.214 --> 00:00:17.196
It's frigging bats.
00:00:17.637 --> 00:00:18.381
You know what that means?
00:00:18.381 --> 00:00:20.725
What Tomorrow's Christmas?
00:00:21.606 --> 00:00:24.490
Tomorrow is Christmas, so Merry Christmas.
00:00:25.092 --> 00:00:26.195
Yeah, it's time to put your stuff up.
00:00:26.195 --> 00:00:28.083
Take all this skeleton crap down.
00:00:30.850 --> 00:00:33.987
Lucky for me, I'm sitting here looking at my Christmas centerpieces.
00:00:34.868 --> 00:00:41.512
Love that I have a friend and a listener who actually already has two trees up.
00:00:41.512 --> 00:00:43.508
She does beautiful trees and they take a lot of work.
00:00:43.508 --> 00:00:47.945
So she started the second week of october stop it.
00:00:50.390 --> 00:00:51.351
I love that.
00:00:51.551 --> 00:01:05.269
Yep, I'm ready, I am ready she has the trees that are like aesthetic, you know, like one is like a grinch tree and it has like a very southern and she's in new yorker actually but it has like the little twirlies that come out.
00:01:05.269 --> 00:01:09.588
That's not the kind of tree I learned to like tree on.
00:01:09.588 --> 00:01:11.867
I need to find a picture of Cindy's tree for you.
00:01:13.581 --> 00:01:17.030
I'm sure that she does an amazing tree Hold on one second.
00:01:17.069 --> 00:01:22.968
Tiny, come on, looks like something out of Southern living, cause we still my mom still uses like the ornaments.
00:01:22.968 --> 00:01:25.024
It's not like she does like the twirly tree.
00:01:25.024 --> 00:01:27.069
She has all of her ornaments that she made.
00:01:27.069 --> 00:01:32.691
She's a big collector of ornaments, but I mean we're talking every branch has like 9,000.
00:01:32.691 --> 00:01:34.996
It is so many lights.
00:01:34.996 --> 00:01:38.066
This thing literally looks like something straight out of Southern living.
00:01:38.787 --> 00:01:40.311
How long does it take her to put it up?
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:41.319
Weeks.
00:01:43.644 --> 00:01:49.323
That's a million dollar business idea, for I would pay somebody to come to my house and put up my Christmas trees for me.
00:01:50.688 --> 00:01:51.269
I'm all about it.
00:01:51.269 --> 00:01:52.753
I did learn a lesson, though.
00:01:52.753 --> 00:02:00.611
Recently somebody told me this, and I'm a big fan, so I'm going to share it, and this may trigger some people, but I throw my lights away when the season is done.
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:02.200
Do you?
00:02:03.003 --> 00:02:07.391
Yes, I cannot stand the game of it.
00:02:07.391 --> 00:02:07.811
Does it work?
00:02:07.811 --> 00:02:08.332
Does it not work?
00:02:08.332 --> 00:02:08.532
Does it?
00:02:08.552 --> 00:02:10.043
work, does it not work?
00:02:10.724 --> 00:02:17.664
Getting halfway through in the middle, one being like actually I know I worked a minute ago, I'm not feeling it today.
00:02:18.325 --> 00:02:20.070
Well, I'm like that with the whites.
00:02:20.070 --> 00:02:36.332
I feel like the whites don't match, cause I usually do like the, you know the warm white or yellow, whatever it looks like, and then like if you buy two different brands they don't match, and it makes my eye twitch.
00:02:36.713 --> 00:02:37.175
I can't do it.
00:02:37.175 --> 00:02:41.572
I go to Lowe's every year now because they're not expensive.
00:02:41.572 --> 00:02:44.042
What's more expensive is my stress level.
00:02:44.042 --> 00:02:49.848
I go every year, I open the boxes and I plug the first one.
00:02:49.848 --> 00:02:51.008
I actually plug all of them.
00:02:51.008 --> 00:02:51.949
I open every single box.
00:02:51.949 --> 00:02:58.156
I plug it into the back of one of the blowups to make sure, a that it works and, b it's the right one for me.
00:02:58.156 --> 00:02:58.937
I've done it with my mom.
00:02:58.937 --> 00:03:00.606
She's like oh Becca, I don't know if you can do this.
00:03:00.606 --> 00:03:12.181
I'm like you can't.
00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:12.582
I think it's genius.
00:03:12.582 --> 00:03:12.903
I'm not playing.
00:03:12.903 --> 00:03:14.912
I will pop the top on every single box and check it and make sure that it's the yellow that I need.
00:03:14.912 --> 00:03:15.514
I'm not doing the LED makes.
00:03:15.514 --> 00:03:16.900
Something must be wrong with either my brain or everyone else's.
00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:18.663
It gives me a massive headache.
00:03:19.203 --> 00:03:20.064
I just don't love it.
00:03:20.064 --> 00:03:22.628
I love the warm yellow.
00:03:22.628 --> 00:03:25.493
You know what I mean it's yellow.
00:03:25.493 --> 00:03:28.883
Oh did I lose you yeah.
00:03:28.902 --> 00:03:29.544
Are you there?
00:03:29.544 --> 00:03:31.288
Yeah, okay, yeah.
00:03:31.288 --> 00:03:33.491
For a second it froze on my side.
00:03:33.491 --> 00:03:34.313
I don't know what happened.
00:03:34.313 --> 00:03:37.963
I don't either, but I'm here.
00:03:37.963 --> 00:03:40.229
So go back to your LED you have a problem with it?
00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:41.692
Yes, I do.
00:03:41.692 --> 00:03:42.941
I don't know.
00:03:42.941 --> 00:03:43.622
It's just something about.
00:03:43.622 --> 00:03:46.790
It is not warm enough for me, if that makes sense.
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.550
I feel like I'm in like the gynecologist's office.
00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:54.050
Yes, where I can see a hamburger I had in the third grade.
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.427
Yes, it's too bright, I just don't love it.
00:03:57.700 --> 00:04:02.032
Do you know I have a strong pattern of leaving a doctor's office before I've been seen.
00:04:02.032 --> 00:04:05.663
Can we talk about this?
00:04:06.324 --> 00:04:06.665
No.
00:04:07.427 --> 00:04:10.425
I will leave and I will not tell you and I will make you call me.
00:04:10.425 --> 00:04:16.824
I will not sit there for more than 30 minutes in my underwear or naked.
00:04:16.824 --> 00:04:24.262
I will get up, get dressed and leave and you will call me and I will say that the next time that you make an appointment, please make sure that you have space appropriate for me.
00:04:24.262 --> 00:04:30.134
I'm not going to sit there for upwards of an hour like a hostage situation so I can feel bad about myself.
00:04:30.134 --> 00:04:31.807
If you don't have time for me, that's fine.
00:04:31.807 --> 00:04:34.305
Make sure that the next time you book me you have time for me.
00:04:34.305 --> 00:04:36.831
Ooh, I will leave.
00:04:36.831 --> 00:04:38.983
I have been called at least four times.
00:04:41.009 --> 00:04:42.591
I'm not Wow.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:48.523
No, I did not know this about you.
00:04:48.523 --> 00:04:52.562
I have something about it when you're under those lights and you're already doing the thing, and now you've set aside the time, you've taken 20 minutes to get there.
00:04:52.562 --> 00:04:54.685
These appointments should not be.
00:04:54.685 --> 00:05:03.732
I have one person that I will make an hour for, and she has never made me wait more than seven minutes, but I am not.
00:05:03.732 --> 00:05:08.411
If you want an hour of my time, you can sit your butt down and talk to me about everything that's going on in my body.
00:05:08.411 --> 00:05:16.194
I'm not going to sit there and tear myself apart under your nasty lights with paper over me while I'm freezing, but my feet are sweating.
00:05:16.194 --> 00:05:17.786
Why does that happen?
00:05:20.141 --> 00:05:21.968
Is it me or does it happen to you too?
00:05:21.968 --> 00:05:22.430
My feet don't.
00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:23.903
I feel like I'm always freezing.
00:05:24.545 --> 00:05:26.610
No, I'm freezing, but my feet feel clammy.
00:05:27.939 --> 00:05:29.800
Well, it's not the most comfortable situation.
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.747
Do you go to a guy or a girl?
00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:34.185
For my gyno or for my regular care.
00:05:34.668 --> 00:05:34.869
Gyno.
00:05:36.422 --> 00:05:37.425
I don't see a man.
00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.283
So that would be a woman right.
00:05:40.303 --> 00:05:42.790
Yeah, I don't really.
00:05:42.790 --> 00:05:52.889
I here's the thing I have very like I would if I thought that it's like what are the alternatives?
00:05:52.889 --> 00:05:54.192
I know, I don't know why I did that.
00:05:54.192 --> 00:05:57.762
Welcome to my brain.
00:05:57.762 --> 00:06:03.173
Um, I I don't understand how you're going to tell me about.
00:06:03.173 --> 00:06:06.064
First of all, I really do not like hearing direction from men.
00:06:06.064 --> 00:06:10.685
Unless I have a deep trust in you, I just am not interested.
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:12.723
There's some trauma there, I think.
00:06:13.406 --> 00:06:14.208
I'm just not interested.
00:06:14.910 --> 00:06:15.110
Yeah.
00:06:15.110 --> 00:06:19.851
So my mom thinks it's weird that I go to a woman.
00:06:19.851 --> 00:06:22.088
I'm like I think it's weird that you go to a man.
00:06:22.579 --> 00:06:24.105
Your mom thinks it's weird that you go to a woman.
00:06:24.507 --> 00:06:26.545
Yes, she has told me that before.
00:06:27.540 --> 00:06:29.086
Ma'am the person.
00:06:29.086 --> 00:06:35.247
I want the person who's walking around with the same set of tools to talk to me A hundred percent.
00:06:35.247 --> 00:06:43.581
I want to tell her when I get like lightning, whatever or whatever's going on, like I need to be able to describe it and I want to talk openly.
00:06:43.581 --> 00:06:46.968
I don't want to if I see a second of judgment cause this.
00:06:46.968 --> 00:06:48.913
I had to have a man put my IUD in.
00:06:50.021 --> 00:06:51.144
Oh yeah, I remember that guy.
00:06:51.144 --> 00:06:52.108
He was a dick, wasn't he?
00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:52.759
He was.
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.862
I just got a letter in the mail that he retired.
00:06:54.862 --> 00:07:00.028
Um, I love my OBGYN office but my original one retired so I had to get a new one.
00:07:00.028 --> 00:07:01.831
She's great, she's young.
00:07:01.831 --> 00:07:07.365
I tell her about all my life, but I wasn't sure if I would have health insurance going into this new year.
00:07:07.365 --> 00:07:16.269
So when I got to the front desk my OB was going on vacation for the holiday and of course there's like this nurse and she's rolling.
00:07:16.269 --> 00:07:18.882
I was like she's, like I don't think we're going to be able to fit you in before the new year.
00:07:18.882 --> 00:07:19.603
I was like you are.
00:07:19.603 --> 00:07:28.666
I don't care if there's a janitor who's picked up pamphlets on the marina that he thinks he could make it happen, we're letting him do it.
00:07:28.666 --> 00:07:29.699
Give me grandpa out back.
00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:35.052
Whoever it is, somebody is shoving this thing, tom, is of the essence.
00:07:36.201 --> 00:07:40.031
So I did get grandpa and he gave me this is actually a great intro.
00:07:40.031 --> 00:07:44.110
He told me that perimenopause is fake.
00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:49.862
He told me that perimenopause is fake.
00:07:49.862 --> 00:08:02.153
He could see in my thing that I go to like a hormone person and he he spent the entire time that we were in that room together talking to me about how just all of his own old school you know thoughts on it and I actually love my hormone person.
00:08:02.153 --> 00:08:09.939
So I just stopped sharing with him because I could tell he was closed minded and she is wonderful.
00:08:10.591 --> 00:08:21.687
I finally went to see her and she is just as amazing as you said she would be like a unicorn person she is a unicorn person.
00:08:21.687 --> 00:08:22.995
What's her last name?
00:08:22.995 --> 00:08:25.906
Stephanie H starts with H.
00:08:25.906 --> 00:08:29.925
H Starts with an H At Charleston Hormone in Mount Pleasant.
00:08:30.526 --> 00:08:33.726
Yep CHS Hormone Right behind Nordstrom Rock.
00:08:35.363 --> 00:08:37.480
She is phenomenal.
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:42.371
So she, I did think I was in perimenopause, which is why I went to see her.
00:08:42.371 --> 00:08:44.785
Turns out I am not.
00:08:44.785 --> 00:08:46.225
So that's great news.
00:08:46.225 --> 00:08:53.433
Yeah, um, but she, she took the time to go through my blood work.
00:08:53.433 --> 00:09:09.054
Stephanie Donovan Stephanie Donovan, she took the time to go through my blood work, line item by line item, and was so thorough in her explanation of how everything works.
00:09:09.054 --> 00:09:11.288
I was blown away.
00:09:11.288 --> 00:09:14.308
I mean, she opens like books to reference.
00:09:14.308 --> 00:09:17.668
I've actually snapped a picture of one of them that I'll share to the listeners.
00:09:17.668 --> 00:09:18.692
That looked really interesting.
00:09:18.692 --> 00:09:24.905
If you geek out on stuff like I do, but she is just phenomenal.
00:09:24.905 --> 00:09:26.467
I highly recommend.
00:09:26.467 --> 00:09:28.389
I just knew something wasn't right.
00:09:28.409 --> 00:09:32.234
Right, yeah, you geek out on stuff like I do, but she is just phenomenal I highly recommend.
00:09:32.234 --> 00:09:36.298
I just knew something wasn't right, right yeah, and I feel like we need to listen to our bodies more and stop.
00:09:36.298 --> 00:09:36.739
Make it a priority.
00:09:37.158 --> 00:09:37.740
Make it a priority.
00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:39.705
Conversations like oh your labs are normal.
00:09:39.705 --> 00:09:40.828
Oh, your labs are normal.
00:09:40.828 --> 00:09:42.807
Yeah, it's just very superficial.
00:09:42.807 --> 00:09:46.187
The normal range is a freaking range.
00:09:46.187 --> 00:09:49.428
That doesn't mean that you would feel good inside that range.
00:09:49.428 --> 00:09:53.321
I'm supposed to be dismissed a hundred percent was just.
00:09:53.402 --> 00:09:54.144
It was very.
00:09:54.144 --> 00:10:02.346
Yes, I had been dismissed and it was like oh, here, get on progesterone because it's low, and then they give you one that's got a bunch of crap in it.
00:10:03.028 --> 00:10:13.201
Yeah and so it was like and we go to like the same pharmacy, so it's not like there wasn't the opportunity to be on the good one, but like, let, there was what?
00:10:13.201 --> 00:10:27.234
Gelatin, glycerin, glycerin red dye number, whatever it was like three dyes, there was a bunch of crap in there and it was like you're like is this making my skin weird, Like what is happening?
00:10:27.234 --> 00:10:31.090
And you're like, oh, it's because it's full of shit that my body doesn't need Right.
00:10:31.291 --> 00:10:32.240
Exactly so.
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:39.313
I think we make time for manicures and different things, getting our hair done and all these things.
00:10:39.313 --> 00:10:50.702
I feel like we need to listen to our bodies if they're saying something doesn't feel right and it's not just, it doesn doesn't.
00:10:50.702 --> 00:10:51.667
It's not always normal and I do feel better.
00:10:51.667 --> 00:10:54.157
I mean I've been on a what like a week now and I mean I definitely feel like my energy level is better.
00:10:54.157 --> 00:11:02.885
Yeah, my sleep hopefully, will begin to improve, but um, which is why I initially went, but yeah tiredness is a big piece of the progesterone thing, the tiredness is adaptation, the agitation.
00:11:03.927 --> 00:11:08.163
I cannot say enough nice things about Stephanie and her practice.
00:11:08.163 --> 00:11:18.269
That has been a life changer for me Hardcore, and I take up so much of her time when I go I don't know if it's in the notes.
00:11:18.269 --> 00:11:20.500
Give her a full 40 minutes or an hour.
00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:22.903
She doesn't make you feel rushed either.
00:11:22.903 --> 00:11:25.548
No, and there's going to become a time.
00:11:25.628 --> 00:11:29.875
I will say this because they are going through their third expansion right now.
00:11:29.875 --> 00:11:50.067
Since I started going and I've only been going to her for two years, they bought the place next to that new place and they're going to the wall next and she openly told me that there she, her client base, is so full that they've already started adding doctors and they're pretty soon.
00:11:50.067 --> 00:12:00.466
It's going to be very hard to actually get to the woman herself, which is partially why I was like pressuring you, Cause I'm like, oh my God, you have to get list before no one can, Right?
00:12:00.466 --> 00:12:13.552
I've shared about her a little bit on Instagram and I've had a few people go to her and be like oh my God, that have been going to thyroid clinics or other hormone people which, by the way, in Mount Pleasant are a dime a dozen because they're all missing out.
00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:24.772
I was Zempic or semi-glutides, and they're all just putting you on basic, they're telling you you have a thyroid problem, so they're offering you hope and they're not actually addressing, like, the root cause.
00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:31.701
Yeah, she's.
00:12:31.701 --> 00:12:36.460
She's incredible that you can tell that she really loves what she does and doesn't make you feel rushed and just feel like another number, so I really appreciate that.
00:12:36.961 --> 00:12:48.109
Like I think when we had a conversation about even when patients aren't a good fit for her cause we talk about, you might talk about clients who aren't a good fit for her, because we talk about you and I talk about clients who aren't a good fit and not everyone's a fit for her too.
00:12:48.109 --> 00:12:52.190
I mean, I really respect that when I hear about how people do business.
00:12:52.871 --> 00:12:53.232
Yes.
00:12:53.232 --> 00:12:59.403
So on that note, we have punted this a few times in our podcast journey.
00:12:59.403 --> 00:12:59.683
Yeah, we have.
00:12:59.683 --> 00:13:04.434
Today we're going to talk about jobs that we've had.
00:13:05.947 --> 00:13:07.894
I mean a lot.
00:13:08.706 --> 00:13:14.535
I've had a lot of jobs, like a lot of jobs.
00:13:15.745 --> 00:13:28.316
We're workers, though here's the thing and like I'm one of those people who can be happy a lot of places, I mean, I'm just not necessarily like man, let's go there.
00:13:28.316 --> 00:13:30.605
Okay so your first job.
00:13:31.506 --> 00:13:39.799
Okay, first job I worked oh RIP at Brushy Creek Barbecue in Powdersville, south Carolina.
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.735
I started when I was 15, because back then I don't even can you work when you're 15?
00:13:45.735 --> 00:13:46.356
Now I don't know.
00:13:47.525 --> 00:13:49.573
Somebody at Chick-fil-A, I think might have been seven the other day.
00:13:49.573 --> 00:13:51.451
I am so confused.
00:13:52.806 --> 00:13:53.649
See, it was 15.
00:13:53.649 --> 00:14:02.144
So as soon as I turned 15, I went to Brushy Creek Barbecue and I got a job and you know I served up barbecue and worked the register.
00:14:02.144 --> 00:14:02.826
Was it a server?
00:14:02.846 --> 00:14:03.610
or a hostess.
00:14:07.004 --> 00:14:27.479
No, it was just like a restaurant that you went through the line and you went through kind of it like we served buffet food like behind the counter and then handed the plates okay, um, so I did that and I did catering with them and I loved it because it was like one of the most popular restaurants where in my hometown and so I got to see everybody and yeah, it was, it was the best.
00:14:27.479 --> 00:14:28.360
What was your first job?
00:14:29.365 --> 00:14:44.631
I, um I worked at this like it was like a local place, really small, had an ice cream thing, had an Eden like diner area and like had uh, what's the thing where you just like hit the golf balls really far A driving range?
00:14:45.253 --> 00:14:46.777
Oh, I was like putt putt.
00:14:48.346 --> 00:14:49.490
That's what I kept wanting to say.
00:14:49.490 --> 00:14:57.866
But it wasn't a putt putt, a driving range and, like the guys, the owner's name was Carl and he drove this big red truck, so I could always tell when he was on the property and I'd be on my best behavior.
00:14:57.866 --> 00:15:02.448
But outside of, when Carl was there, I mean we.
00:15:02.448 --> 00:15:04.490
I worked there with my first college roommate.
00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:06.272
That's how we became friends.
00:15:06.272 --> 00:15:09.433
The summer before college we went to high school together.
00:15:09.433 --> 00:15:11.914
We knew each other, but we did this job together.
00:15:11.914 --> 00:15:17.918
It would be wacky we ate so much ice cream.
00:15:18.499 --> 00:15:22.020
I ate so much barbecue, so much barbecue.
00:15:22.081 --> 00:15:23.081
We would get in trouble sometimes.
00:15:23.081 --> 00:15:31.408
There was this old lady there named Nan and she used to talk all day about her water pills.
00:15:31.408 --> 00:15:32.649
She would always be like sweating, like sweating people.
00:15:32.649 --> 00:15:34.253
It was always dripping.
00:15:34.253 --> 00:15:41.673
We were so weird, it was like the weirdest, wildest, and I mean it was a hoop yeah, I loved brushy creek.
00:15:41.714 --> 00:15:43.745
I probably would have stayed there all through high school.
00:15:43.745 --> 00:15:49.154
Um, they ended up selling to new owners and I love the old owners better.
00:15:49.716 --> 00:16:02.154
I tried so hard to get into actual food and Bev and not once like all the way through to my mid twenties I would apply for, like Olive Garden, wherever Nobody would give me a chance to be a server.
00:16:02.235 --> 00:16:03.118
I've never been a server.
00:16:04.847 --> 00:16:12.024
I was like so dead set on doing it like TGI Fridays, olive Garden, not once that is so funny.
00:16:12.105 --> 00:16:13.309
I feel like you would make a great server.
00:16:13.309 --> 00:16:15.924
Well, I don't know, you do got the ADD thing going.
00:16:16.668 --> 00:16:19.258
I know and I'm like, but I'm like I got personality.
00:16:19.317 --> 00:16:21.681
I mean I might you do you have a sparkling?
00:16:21.681 --> 00:16:22.989
You'd have made a great hostess.
00:16:22.989 --> 00:16:23.792
I hosted.
00:16:23.792 --> 00:16:25.090
Hosted in college.
00:16:25.090 --> 00:16:26.133
That was a fun job.
00:16:26.133 --> 00:16:27.869
Let's see.
