00:00:42.064 --> 00:00:44.588
Okay, tell us you in a nutshell.
00:00:45.308 --> 00:00:45.628
Okay.
00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:47.210
And then we're getting straight to mayhem.
00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:50.473
Okay, great, are we doing like the trauma version or the business version?
00:00:50.473 --> 00:00:51.915
Oh yeah, no, oh my God, I love that.
00:00:51.915 --> 00:00:52.796
Where shall we begin?
00:00:57.164 --> 00:00:58.192
No, I'm just kidding.
00:00:58.192 --> 00:01:01.767
I brought both of my personalities, gangs, all here.
00:01:01.786 --> 00:01:06.003
All of her is here, so my name is Sarah Wiles.
00:01:06.003 --> 00:01:08.049
I am the founder and CEO of a company called the Start and Grow Co.
00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:16.834
And we lead the industry in virtual assistant, training, education and coaching with a life-first business lens and a human-centered approach.
00:01:16.834 --> 00:01:21.206
Oh my gosh, I love that, thank you, I made it myself.
00:01:21.787 --> 00:01:24.992
I know I feel like, hey, I made it, hey, yeah.
00:01:26.733 --> 00:01:26.915
Okay.
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:32.269
So you and I have a mutual friend, but our paths have not crossed.
00:01:33.171 --> 00:01:33.813
Isn't that funny.
00:01:33.813 --> 00:01:39.718
Wait, but you guys are in South Carolina, yep, okay, so that's how you know Whit.
00:01:39.718 --> 00:01:41.862
Whit was my Well, so do.
00:01:41.983 --> 00:01:46.451
You probably haven't heard this, but I shared the story of how I met Whitney on the podcast early on.
00:01:46.451 --> 00:01:51.290
Okay, I commonly refer to her as Taco Bell.
00:01:51.290 --> 00:01:56.471
So with my friends and family, taco Bell, taco, it's Whitney.
00:01:56.471 --> 00:02:08.723
So I was on a walk and I was a pregnant person and she pulled over and said I have a baby and you're pregnant, do you want to go to Taco Bell and Target with me?
00:02:08.723 --> 00:02:10.508
And I said I don't have my wallet.
00:02:10.508 --> 00:02:13.603
And she said I got you and I got in a stranger's car.
00:02:16.287 --> 00:02:22.484
If you are safe in anyone's car, it's Whitney's car, but that is amazing.
00:02:23.004 --> 00:02:36.461
We literally like went to the drive-thru and then we like went to Target together and we like unpacked all of our like very new mom, pregnant mom baggage and like we, that's how that.
00:02:36.461 --> 00:02:42.143
And like, literally just last weekend, her and I went to Dierks Bentley and Lee Bryce she texts me in the morning at eight o'clock.
00:02:42.143 --> 00:02:50.764
She goes I don't know what happened, but my front seats are covered in tacos and I went and looked at my outfit.
00:02:50.764 --> 00:02:52.205
I was like there's none on my outfit.
00:02:52.205 --> 00:02:57.126
She goes I think we ate our tacos upside down in the front seat of my car and I was, like I think we did.
00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:27.332
I can so remember those early motherhood days and just like I can see that desperate Like I can, like, I'm sure, to either people who aren't moms or maybe somebody who is in better shape postpartum I was not sounds like none of us were I can totally see that desperation where, like a woman with a baby pulls over and is like, will you be my friend and would you like to get in this car and I'll feed you?
00:03:27.332 --> 00:03:28.772
And you're like, yeah, for sure.
00:03:28.813 --> 00:03:29.379
I'll cover you up.
00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:34.729
I can totally see that that sounds crazy, but also yeah, how you're like no, no, 100%.
00:03:34.769 --> 00:03:36.442
I'm doing that 100%.
00:03:36.442 --> 00:03:37.104
I got in her car.
00:03:37.104 --> 00:03:41.050
People have been always written these little notes, like, so that was a bit of a risk.
00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:46.135
I'm like, yeah, well, it wasn't our last risk for sure.
00:03:46.135 --> 00:03:47.317
She had a baby in the car.
00:03:47.317 --> 00:03:50.307
Well, like there was a baby.
00:03:50.307 --> 00:03:57.210
And, by the way, this was like when Target had popcorn machines and so we actually fed the baby popcorn and it didn't go amazing.
00:03:57.210 --> 00:03:59.508
And she was like we should definitely not tell Troy.
00:03:59.508 --> 00:04:01.066
We like made the baby choke a little bit.
00:04:01.066 --> 00:04:06.328
You know, we're all in this journey together.
00:04:06.328 --> 00:04:11.247
So, god, truly yeah, that's exactly how it started in our neighborhood.
00:04:11.247 --> 00:04:15.590
We were both like fairly new neighbors and definitely new moms and we started walking every day.
00:04:16.351 --> 00:04:17.254
Oh, I love that.
00:04:17.254 --> 00:04:23.781
So Whitney was my big sister in my sorority and like she was just everything that you would expect that she would be.
00:04:23.781 --> 00:04:28.312
She was like a barrel of fun, but also like get your shit together and don't fuck this up.
00:04:28.312 --> 00:04:28.942
Do you know what I mean?
00:04:28.942 --> 00:04:32.516
Like, um, oh, I just love Whitney so much.
00:04:32.555 --> 00:04:39.103
She was like Sarah was always like the prettiest, so we made her be the face, so like when you walked in the sorority you had to be the first one at the staircase.
00:04:39.103 --> 00:04:45.994
That's what she told me before we started recording and I was like what a badge of honor.
00:04:45.994 --> 00:04:48.668
I know it's the prettiest so you have to be first on the staircase.
00:04:48.668 --> 00:04:50.024
Like how do you live with?
00:04:50.043 --> 00:04:55.237
that it is a little true, and today I come looking like a naked mole rat, so I hope you can see, you are beautiful.
00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.487
You can handle all the eyelashes you've got.
00:04:57.487 --> 00:05:00.586
They're under control, don't you worry.
00:05:00.586 --> 00:05:04.708
Oh Lord, oh my gosh, okay, so what is the mayhem for you?
00:05:04.708 --> 00:05:05.028
Today?
00:05:05.088 --> 00:05:08.122
You have a sick kid at home Y'all I have.
00:05:08.122 --> 00:05:10.928
First of all, I was sick all last week with God knows what.
00:05:10.928 --> 00:05:12.199
I have a sick kid at home.
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:21.504
I have an elderly dog over here who's 14, and he will not stop shitting everywhere, and you can't even be mad at him because he's just old.
00:05:21.504 --> 00:05:24.750
So I just like get the bissel out, clean the shit up.
00:05:32.901 --> 00:05:46.783
We live parallel lives like this, so I actually live for like you shared this situation last week where you were actually like teaching online live and the dog dug a shit in your office and you couldn't get up because you were in the middle and you couldn't get up because you were in the middle, like it was diarrhea, y'all.
00:05:46.822 --> 00:05:49.545
Like it was permeating my nose.
00:05:49.545 --> 00:05:54.050
But you know, when you can like, there's certain conversations you can stop and some that you can't Like.
00:05:54.050 --> 00:05:57.653
I was actively coaching someone so I was like, well, this is a problem for later.
00:05:57.653 --> 00:06:00.177
This is a problem for later, it's life.
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.730
I like this is my life with an elderly dog.
00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:05.939
Like it's just, I'm like wow.
00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:06.439
Life.
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.670
I like this is my life with an elderly dog, like it's just, I'm like wow, so I wish that didn't just happen, but okay, I can't even be mad.
00:06:10.690 --> 00:06:13.023
Um, we shouldn't have have y'all found Folex yet.
00:06:13.023 --> 00:06:16.112
It's the carpet, the spray carpet stain remover.
00:06:16.112 --> 00:06:19.300
No you can go get it for $6.99 on Amazon.
00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:21.786
Okay, this is magical.
00:06:21.786 --> 00:06:25.331
I cannot tell you how many every rug my dogs have shit on.
00:06:25.492 --> 00:06:26.014
Every single rug.
00:06:26.014 --> 00:06:27.564
Oh my gosh, I just got a new rug.
00:06:27.564 --> 00:06:29.605
Two days later, a dog pooped on it.
00:06:30.067 --> 00:06:32.764
Every time, Every freaking time.
00:06:32.764 --> 00:06:33.767
Go get you.
00:06:33.767 --> 00:06:35.312

00:06:38.545 --> 00:06:40.084

00:06:40.084 --> 00:06:41.189
It gets stains out of everything.
00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:47.944
This is how we are about Amazon.
00:06:47.944 --> 00:06:50.697
Like I use my Amazon links just to share things I'm obsessed with, it is never making me a million dollars.
00:06:50.697 --> 00:06:57.401
We I don't understand how these people are paying their mortgage off Amazon, because you get like $30 for every thousand that you sell.
00:06:57.401 --> 00:07:03.153
But I'm like I'm going to share the $6 Folex so that it went I can make 2 cents.
00:07:03.153 --> 00:07:05.968
Yeah, exactly Right, a hundred percent.
00:07:05.968 --> 00:07:08.283
It's like $29 on the thousand.
00:07:08.283 --> 00:07:09.706
I'm like okay great.
00:07:09.706 --> 00:07:15.583
Hey, so I can buy more Folex, because my dog keeps shitting Everywhere.
00:07:17.067 --> 00:07:18.048
Oh my gosh yes.
00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:18.870
And what else has gone.
00:07:18.870 --> 00:07:22.583
Oh, and my husband's also out of town, so I'm solo parenting, but I don't know if y'all feel like this.
00:07:22.583 --> 00:07:25.065
Sometimes it's easier when they're out of town.
00:07:25.065 --> 00:07:28.149
Yes, I do.
00:07:29.271 --> 00:07:34.942
I do this girl, jenny, right here yeah, well, the pressure's off for, like, actually making the meals.
00:07:34.942 --> 00:07:41.620
Yes, yeah, like the whole, like protein, starch, vegetable, and now I'm like a single mom.
00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:46.028
So now the pressure is like I'm standing in front of the fridge eating cheese.
00:07:46.910 --> 00:08:04.769
When Nate's gone, I'm like, yeah, and I feel like I don't have to like pick up like the house, like I'm like this, like I feel like every day before he gets home from work and this is nothing that he does, but I feel like everything has to be like in its place and like tidy so he doesn't feel chaotic after working, you know, all day.
00:08:04.769 --> 00:08:10.146
So when he's gone, I'm like I could just be disgusting and I love it.
00:08:10.708 --> 00:08:11.249
I love it.
00:08:11.249 --> 00:08:12.872
Uh-huh, I love it.
00:08:12.872 --> 00:08:24.543
Yeah, I feel that I just like it just definitely changes the energy and like what you can get away with, we're like now I'm just like let's actually just hang out in my bed and watch movies like I said and I order in for every meal we fall asleep.
00:08:24.564 --> 00:08:28.949
We fell, fell asleep watching Taylor Swift last night, like everything has been great, everything is great.
00:08:29.139 --> 00:08:35.913
So I just noticed, because I posted the reel this morning, that you were like now I'm going to have to watch it.
00:08:35.913 --> 00:08:38.562
I need both of you to watch this.
00:08:38.562 --> 00:08:40.543
Mormon mom talk.
00:08:40.543 --> 00:08:43.285
Sarah, you have to, okay.
00:08:44.106 --> 00:08:47.269
I started, I tried, it didn't like, pull me in.
00:08:47.409 --> 00:08:48.892
Okay, so my first episode.
00:08:48.892 --> 00:08:49.812
I felt the same way.
00:08:49.812 --> 00:08:53.996
I was like these ladies are on drugs, yes, and so young.
00:08:53.996 --> 00:09:05.332
So young and fresh and I also am like I'm not like the biggest reality TV show, but I saw your soda when we started shooting and I'm whatever is happening there, there, the way, the web that they have woven of.
00:09:05.332 --> 00:09:10.631
Like you know, they can't drink coffee, right, yes, no, okay, they can't drink coffee.
00:09:11.013 --> 00:09:17.471
I didn't know, they get around it is they are jacked to high heaven on soda all day.
00:09:17.471 --> 00:09:24.653
Like they will show up at a gas station at 8 am, pumps of syrup in there, like they, they are, like they are.
00:09:24.653 --> 00:09:48.490
They have like parties where like a person will come and instead of it being like a bartender, it's like a soda bartender and he'll bring all of this stuff and like they just walk around with these giant styrofoam whatever's and then they um, I saw this girl the other day who was like first day watching mom talk and it was her hair in a messy bun and then it was like the third day and she was doing her curls that way.
00:09:48.490 --> 00:09:54.589
So I did them all weekend and I went to a birthday party on Saturday and one of the moms was like your hair looks so pretty.
00:09:54.589 --> 00:09:55.774
I was like, oh my God.
00:09:56.400 --> 00:09:58.288
You were like oh my God, thanks, it's mom talk hair.
00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:00.500
I got it from the Mormons.
00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:02.102
Well, they can't.
00:10:02.123 --> 00:10:03.283
So what else?
00:10:03.283 --> 00:10:04.224
I think I've told you this.
00:10:04.224 --> 00:10:08.727
Becca, one of my college roommates was a Mormon and she was a freak.
00:10:08.727 --> 00:10:15.354
Oh, like she had different boys in her room like every night.
00:10:15.374 --> 00:10:17.254
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:17.254 --> 00:10:20.057
And I'm like how deep do we go on this podcast?
00:10:21.179 --> 00:10:22.062
What are we allowed to talk about here?
00:10:22.062 --> 00:10:23.025
So we are marked explicit.
00:10:23.025 --> 00:10:24.210
You can swear Great, yes.
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:25.173
What are we allowed to talk about here?
00:10:25.173 --> 00:10:25.916
So we are marked explicit.
00:10:25.936 --> 00:10:26.418
You can swear Great yes.
00:10:26.418 --> 00:10:27.100
No, we don't talk about family.
00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:30.269
I'm trying not to have a lot of drama in my post-divorce life.
00:10:30.269 --> 00:10:32.023
Yes, yes, congratulations.
00:10:32.023 --> 00:10:34.725
By the way, I really appreciate that.
00:10:34.725 --> 00:10:39.643
I've had two people say it like that, yeah, and people don't know what to do.
00:10:39.643 --> 00:10:42.647
But that actually is the response.
00:10:43.126 --> 00:10:48.975
Yeah, that actually is the response yeah, truly, it's a big decision, it's a big battle, it's a lot.
00:10:48.975 --> 00:10:57.104
And like I like I thought how are you?
00:10:57.104 --> 00:10:57.203
Like?
00:10:57.203 --> 00:10:57.706
Like I'm actually great.
00:10:57.706 --> 00:11:00.360
Yeah, like, if you were going to ask me that, you should have asked me that when I was in the middle of the thick of it.
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:04.409
Like now it's a congratulations, like I really appreciate that.
00:11:04.409 --> 00:11:05.740
So, thank you, I just wanted to.
00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:06.081
You're welcome.
00:11:06.403 --> 00:11:07.085
Yeah, for sure.
00:11:07.085 --> 00:11:35.746
I've had a couple of friends go through divorce and like I've watched that process and I think, like just to go off on a small tangent, like I think society, I think we're getting so much better, but like I mean also my parents were each divorced three times, so like I got it, I got it down, you know, I just think like society makes it like it's this like horrible thing and in in, in truth, like sometimes people just fall out of love and they're not for each other anymore, Just like friends, you know, fall out as well, and like isn't it beautiful that you can just not have to do that anymore.
00:11:35.746 --> 00:11:36.690
So congratulations.
00:11:36.750 --> 00:11:41.203
Um back to mom talk so I haven't watched it.
00:11:41.203 --> 00:11:51.807
But when it came out I was with 12 other girlfriends in Atlanta for an award show and they had all watched it, so they were all telling me about it.
00:11:51.807 --> 00:11:55.249
Have you heard about the sex situation?
00:11:55.570 --> 00:11:56.010
that they do.
00:11:56.010 --> 00:12:00.932
They're calling it soft swinging Okay.
00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:02.839
So it's not that.
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:03.462
What are you talking about?
00:12:03.462 --> 00:12:04.206
The Fruity Pebbles?
00:12:05.179 --> 00:12:05.600
Is it Fruity Pebbles?
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:06.082
Is it Fruity Pebbles?
00:12:06.082 --> 00:12:12.431
I'm talking about the fact that, apparently, what they do because they can't have sex before marriage, right, but Soaking.
00:12:12.431 --> 00:12:16.341
Yes, what'd you call it Soaking, soaking?
00:12:16.341 --> 00:12:17.104
Have you heard of this, jenny?
00:12:17.645 --> 00:12:18.027
No.
00:12:18.307 --> 00:12:18.950
You're going to die.
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:25.932
You are going to die Because this is like a very desperate like way around.
00:12:25.932 --> 00:12:27.354
I don't know.
00:12:27.354 --> 00:12:46.934
And they're for such a big religion, right, like so grounded in like church and state like the way that they are all actively aware and working around these things is blowing my mind, soaking is the term Soaking.
00:12:46.975 --> 00:12:47.855
Do I need to like?
00:12:47.855 --> 00:12:48.035
Do?
00:12:48.056 --> 00:12:48.316
this.
00:12:48.801 --> 00:12:52.030
No, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, sarah's going to tell you, I'm going to tell you.
00:12:52.030 --> 00:12:59.272
So it is insertion Okay, but once inserted you can't no movement.
00:12:59.272 --> 00:13:15.388
But what you can do is get somebody to jump on the bed to make the movement happen without the two individuals inserted doing the movement yeah, it requires a lot of other people.
00:13:16.269 --> 00:13:18.245
What Y'all are joking right now.
00:13:18.245 --> 00:13:20.664
No, no, no, oh my God, I'm totally Googling it.
00:13:20.664 --> 00:13:21.668
No, no.
00:13:21.668 --> 00:13:24.159
Look it up we were making all sorts of jokes.
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:24.864
I just like GPT googling it.
00:13:24.884 --> 00:13:25.971
So no, look it up, we were making a joke.
00:13:25.971 --> 00:13:26.575
Yeah, I had to chat gpt.
00:13:26.575 --> 00:13:29.828
Something from hinge the other day that I was like shook about.
00:13:29.828 --> 00:13:33.642
That came onto my hinge and I was like I didn't know what it meant.
00:13:33.642 --> 00:13:40.581
So this happened to me where it was like um looking for a kitchen table relationship, do you?
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.241
know what this is.
00:13:41.241 --> 00:13:43.166
Does that mean you would have sex on the kitchen table?
00:13:43.326 --> 00:13:45.190
No, that would be like.
00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:47.553
So I was like this seems odd.
00:13:47.553 --> 00:14:05.174
I think I should chat GPT this just to see, because like it feels like it might be a something it is again in non-monogamous relationships like where traditionally, where you had sister wives, they were like each a separate relationship with the husband.
00:14:05.174 --> 00:14:13.527
Okay, kitchen table means that everybody's friends enough to sit around the kitchen table together, and like that's a big part of the dynamic.
00:14:13.527 --> 00:14:14.610
And I was like nope.
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.307
I'm so confused.
00:14:17.307 --> 00:14:20.147
This is a thing, oh yeah.
00:14:20.147 --> 00:14:25.006
No, there's a lot of things, so this is what was probably going on in my college dorm.
00:14:25.950 --> 00:14:28.645
Yeah, no, I think you would have had to be involved.
00:14:28.645 --> 00:14:30.980
Are you the jumper, jenny?
00:14:31.022 --> 00:14:31.826
were you the jumper?
00:14:31.826 --> 00:14:34.748
Let me go ahead and set the record straight.
00:14:34.788 --> 00:14:39.731
Okay, so on this show, a bunch of them have had children by the time they're 16.
00:14:39.731 --> 00:14:42.845
Some are divorced by the time they're 21 or 22.
00:14:42.845 --> 00:15:05.210
They've been in these like they marry, like all the things that you kind of, that we that I'm going to speak for myself that I kind of traditionally worry about, like making rules where people have to rush into decisions that they shouldn't, or like all these constraints they're under them, and so you get to see this like crazy microscope of like this is kind of what it looks like.
00:15:05.210 --> 00:15:12.208
When you make all these things off limits, people find a way around them.
00:15:12.208 --> 00:15:30.947
And then there's like there's this one who's like literally Whitney, who's doing this dancing video while her kids in the hospital with RSV oh my gosh, yeah, and she takes like a lot of heat for it, obviously, but because she was like feeling left out while the other girls were still doing their mom talk together.
00:15:30.947 --> 00:15:38.529
She literally is like low oxygen, low whatever, and I'm like that there is no limit.
00:15:39.130 --> 00:15:45.630
None, there's no limits because you know I don't tick and you know I don't talk.
00:15:47.384 --> 00:15:49.750
So we got to get you on the tick and the talk, God.
00:15:50.721 --> 00:15:51.683
I'm done with the things.
00:15:51.683 --> 00:15:53.206
No, but wait, can I?
00:15:53.226 --> 00:15:54.188
just can I try?
00:15:54.188 --> 00:15:57.592
Yeah, Can I give you my, my one minute pitch?
00:15:57.592 --> 00:16:01.886
Yeah, please, please, your case I only use.
00:16:01.886 --> 00:16:05.894
So the best thing about TikTok is you can train that algorithm fast, okay.
00:16:05.894 --> 00:16:09.044
So I have my algorithm trained perfectly.
00:16:09.044 --> 00:16:15.663
At night I might partake in some gardening, and then are we all on the same page.
00:16:15.663 --> 00:16:17.167
Yes, okay, great.
00:16:17.167 --> 00:16:20.052
And then I have my 10 minutes of giggles.
00:16:20.052 --> 00:16:23.846
Okay, like I'm already good and giggly, I have my the algorithm trained.
00:16:23.846 --> 00:16:26.552
It shows me the most unhinged shit, okay.
00:16:26.552 --> 00:16:30.039
And then I have my friends trained to only send me unhinged shit.
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:36.826
So I sit on there for 10 minutes every night and it is the best 10 minutes of my day, jenny, because I laugh, I've gardened and I laugh.
00:16:36.826 --> 00:16:46.054
So I'm just making my case to you that if you feel like you need more giggles in your life, you don't have to use it for conspiracy theories or crazy shit or people yelling at you.
00:16:46.380 --> 00:16:48.416
You can train that algorithm back.
00:16:48.416 --> 00:16:49.807
Just laugh and I'll show you the funny.
00:16:49.807 --> 00:16:50.374
Only giggles.
