What is up, guys? We are on episode 9, I believe.

Something like that. I lost count. Yeah, I honestly, I lost count too. And I don't know how when we get to like episode like 100 or something like that, we are ever going to like keep track. But we are back at it. Okay, we this time around, we're actually both have microphones. So that's yes, and internet. So hopefully the audio is pretty good for you this time. Yeah, like we were going through it, but we're each in like our respective homes. Not for long, though, if you guys are following the move in countdown, it is

10 days away so we have one not this one but one more separated and then the rest of them are just going to be together yes one more separate podcast in our life is just going to get so much easier like we don't have to like text to plan to record we'll just be in the same room

Yeah, every time it's like 30, like how long was this today? Like 10, 15 minutes trying to like figure out the audio. Yeah, I thought we were going to be like screwed because I really don't want to miss episodes, you know, and it sucks when you do something computer related because sometimes, sometimes you just have issues. So I was like, oh my God, I literally couldn't hear Sam at all. I couldn't hear anything. So I was like, if we have to miss an episode because like Zoom's not working, that just sucks.

yeah because it's like not our fault like not even like not even audio related but also like life related yeah I didn't even think I was gonna pull my shit together for this um podcast because like I need to have a good headspace when I'm like talking about informative stuff like an hour or else my brain will just like go sideways but you probably saw my Instagram stories TikTok has been banned so if you want to follow my second account until hopefully my other account comes back to life it is at

Sam T fit on Tik TOK, give it a follow. We'll start posting on there and then we'll see where it goes. Yes. And I feel like there's no way to like,

fix it like for the longest for a while I've been trying to figure out how to get like verified so I'm like would that help but I think verified accounts have gotten banned also yeah I don't think anyone's safe I literally have seen so many people in the last like week or two just either permanently banned banned for like a few days or just anything from for stupid reasons and I'm just like

Do they not understand, like, majority of the people out there that have big, like, accounts now, like, that's how they make a living. And it's, like, they're just completely destroying our, like, living. Like, God forbid that was my only source of income, which it's not. Like, I do online training and other things. But it was, like, some people it is. And, like, that's how they pay their, like, monthly rent. Like, if that just goes sideways and that's gone, like, what the heck do you do? Yeah, and that's, I mean...

I mean, you were obviously smart about it to begin with, but like if you want to get into creating content and you keep your stuff on one platform, that is...

not a good idea at all speaking of new platforms add us both on snapchat i'll actually put them in the description of this episode snapchat is like gonna be a big thing i've heard that it's just coming back so add us both on snapchat we're trying to expand obviously follow the podcast whatever but you got to keep yourself yeah out there on everything because you never know you never never know i'm literally not posting as much as on on tiktok anymore

Yeah, I had it for like two weeks because I was banned for two weeks and then all of a sudden I came back. But honestly, like I enjoy posting on Snapchat so much more because I can post like spam type of stuff. I don't know. I'm trying to use like the Snapchat spotlight thing, but I don't understand how it works. Like you literally make a TikTok post it and then it's like, oh, it wasn't accepted.

What do you mean it wasn't accepted? I don't know how it works, but I'm trying, but I'm literally not posting on TikTok because I'm scared. Like I'll post like once or twice a day. I don't even know what video got taken that caused this this morning. I literally don't know. I posted a video this morning and it was like,

Well, I was in my eyelash appointment for like an hour and a half. So I wasn't on my phone for that period. And I come out and I get a message from my mom. And she's like, what happened? And I went on my TikTok and I was like, oh my God, it's gone.

And I like tried not to cry because my eyelashes were so fresh. But I think it was probably the video that I posted this morning where it was like, TikTok is censoring all my like videos. And it was me dancing with like a pump cover on, like, like covering my skin being like, oh my goodness, like I can't post anything on TikTok. That's probably what it was.

I'm literally, I kind of, there was one day I thought it happened to me because TikTok was glitching. It was when I was in Texas. TikTok was glitching for everybody, but I opened my phone and my account wouldn't load. None of my videos were there. It said I had no followers. I thought my account was gone. I literally was freaking out for like a good 10 minutes. We were like, like, I literally didn't know what to do. Like I was borderline like meltdown. So I like know the instant fear of it happening. It turned out to be the whole app was down, but I was like,

I was not having it. But I think I have faith. I have faith that something could pull through. Yeah, I really do too. Justin, actually shout out to Justin. I'm not sure if he listens to these podcasts or not, but he literally called me right after. And this is why like...

love the friends that I have built like through social media is like like you you freaking posted for me like I appreciate that and then Justin calls me like right away and he sends me like all this information on like what to do because he lost his account too he was permanently banned and he got his account back um so yeah that's like a good source of like oh my god like one of my good friends that happened to him like maybe it can happen to me but he like called me and he was like it's gonna be okay it's gonna be okay because I was like about to like bomb my eyes I was like no it's okay

And he was like, yeah, just take a deep breath. I was like, okay. I was, I messaged, I can only get to like, I only did like two. I went on LinkedIn and I went to, and I went to like TikTok. No, because I saw someone get verified. And I was like, if you don't mind, cause she's like,

she's someone I like mutual with on like social media. I don't like know her, but like, I'm like mutual with hers. And I was like, if you don't mind me asking, cause she's not like big famous. I was like, how'd you get verified? Like, how'd you pull that off? And she said, cause she like got in contact with someone that worked there. And I was like, that's not a bad idea. So now every time I'm having a problem, I thought is I'm like, look, like try to like people work there for a reason. Like maybe they'll

know a way to like help you out worst case scenario they never answer but

best case scenario they know a way to help you out so it's worth a shot I literally I'm sitting here right now and I keep like refreshing my emails because I've emailed like five different like TikTok support things and like well we'll also link down below the her second account I'm like gonna start posting on my second account like crazy like I feel like I might just post everything double or anything I think is too scandalous I'll post it on there but I might just post everything on my second account

Seriously, start posting. Now. So we'll link those down below. I know it's kind of annoying because I was going to say you can like follow me and mute me. Like I literally don't care if I'm posting everything double, but I don't think you can do that. But I'd appreciate a follow. And of course, it'll be linked. It'll be linked. Just go down below. It'll be there. I think I'm going to like really kick up my YouTube game, guys. Like I really think I'm going to. It's fun. Fun. Yeah. Oh, see? It's fun. I'm...

I'm really close to 30k on YouTube, like, really close. And I'm like, I really want to get to the point where YouTube is my, like, a big chunk of my, like, income, like, I want to start posting twice a week, maybe when I move I can post twice a week it's a little hectic like this summer.

but I'm thinking if I move, I can post twice a week. I think I can do it. So I'll probably start doing that, but once a week for now, and I've stayed pretty consistent with it. It's been kind of hard. And like, sometimes I want to take weeks off even this week. I have no idea what I'm going to film, but I think I thought of an idea. So I think I'm going to like roll with it, but it takes a lot of work. Yeah. It's a lot of fricking work.

And then you get settled with all the moving stuff. Oh my God. I forgot to tell you. They, I went down to the leasing office and I was like, Hey, can we move in early? Like a few days early? Like, no, you get the day up. So your mattress right now is just sitting at the door. Don't you have that like storage unit thing? Yeah, but the key won't work for it. I don't know why. Literally guys. So I got a mattress. I'm doing like,

a collab with the company, whatever, you'll see it. But I told them August 15th. I was like, I move in August 15th. And the lady was like, okay, perfect. I'll schedule it to deliver August 15th. Beautiful, amazing, seamless. Then I get an email that my package is being delivered tomorrow. And I was like, Sam? Yeah.

uh you're gonna get a mattress i the apartment like our new apartment the door is unlocked so i can put it in there in there no i went in there yesterday and i was just like i was looking at everything it's nasty right now because they haven't had the cleaning company like go through clearly a guy was living in it before like you can just tell just by how gross it was

And I'm just like walking around in there and I'm like, why don't I just pull this mattress in? And they're like, yeah, we can't do that because the cleaning company is coming in, this inspecting company. It's like,

like your mattress isn't covered under insurance so if anything were to happen to it I was like nothing would happen to it if it was inside there I'm like what if it gets stolen that's what I'm saying and I was like so I was like all right so is somebody gonna at least come up because I can't carry that by myself down the hallway it's way too heavy so I was like is someone gonna come up and like move it down the hallway and they're like we'll figure it out we'll let you know I'm like thanks

Okay, they should also help your key because I was thinking you could put it in that little room. But yeah, they were supposed to get it delivered when I moved in and then that just went out the window. But I mean, I guess if you order a mattress from that company, it comes really freaking quick. It came in like two days. Like we had opposite problems. Her mattress didn't come for like a month and mine came like a month early. Like, but yeah, they're really speedy with the delivery. Let me tell you. Thank God. It's like a whole bed too.

So maybe they only got the, like, maybe the bed's going to come in time. Because if it was a mattress and, like, the whole bed frame, that'd be a lot of packages. I need to look at the calendar right now. Is the 15th a Saturday or Sunday? It's a Sunday. So hopefully the office closes on Saturday and they're not there anymore and I can just start moving things in and they won't even notice. Probably. Like, honestly, Friday afternoon you probably could. Hopefully they don't listen to this. Yeah.

no whatever but yeah that's the move-in the move-in update people keep asking what like I'll be like oh it's a move-in they're like where are you moving

Or like just so many questions and there's really not that much. Put it in your bio. We're moving to do work. We're moving in with Sam Taylor. Yeah. People also don't understand that we're not the same person. That TikTok that you made. You TikTok. Oh my God. That was so funny. People are like, wait, you don't have a second account? I go, no, I don't have a second account. That's my friend. Someone was like, wait, so how old is Taylor? And then I responded because I was like, oh, they're asking about me. I was like 20. And they're like, how are you 20 if you were born in 1998? And I was like, that's not me.

Yeah, that was my video of my age. And someone was like, and then someone else was like, did you see the LinkedIn comment? Someone was like, I looked at your LinkedIn. You're not born in like 1998. I was like, are you looking at the right LinkedIn? Like, I don't even use LinkedIn. I literally got LinkedIn to try to get my Instagram back when my main Instagram account got deleted. That's why I got LinkedIn just to try to get in contact with someone because my Instagram account got deleted and I never got it back.

um so but I didn't try that hard so maybe I could have gotten it back but like two days into it I was like I don't care you know what we should have labeled this podcast the Sam and Taylor podcast and see if anyone would have caught on well we thought about that doing something with our name but it just can't wait we would really freaking confuse people yeah we would

luckily like the real the real og followers listening they know that there's two of us like if if you're just like skimming through like stalking like i feel like those types of people like they get confused very easily now now the merch would be cute though we could do something on like merch we could we could that'd be dope i can't wait to start doing that oh i just can't wait to for this podcast to get more like settled because it's fun like it's honestly nice to just

sit and talk even though it's like a little stressful because you guys would be surprised like finding something you can talk about for an hour is like kind of hard and I thought I was going to do this episode alone because obviously Sam was going through this whole thing and I was like

I texted her. I was like, do you want me to just like do a solo episode? Like, I don't know what the hell I talk about, but I would figure something out. I was going to do what I asked you guys to do on my Instagram story for this, which is a Q and a, and I was going to do it by myself, but thankfully we're doing it together. I would have, I would have got,

bored and probably rambled and oh yeah we got some good ones talk straight for like an hour if i was alone i'd be i'd be talking about freaking like bananas one second and then the next second i'd be talking about like polar bears like that's just how my brain works if i if i knew how to talk for like an hour

Yeah, literally. But we got some really good questions. We're basically just going to do like a life Q&A, not really fitness questions related, like not fitness advice, just to catch up on us and our lives and just what we're doing, what our lives have been like. I don't know all of the above. We got a lot of different types of questions. So I think that'll be super fun. So I'm just going to throw one out there from down here.

advice for moving out from your parents anything to prep for or unexpected things what was it advice for moving out for advice for moving out from your parents anything to prep for unexpected things

I know for a fact my parents listen to this. Shout out to the fam. But my family wanted me to live very, very close to them for the longest time. You just got to let them know that you are moving out not only

for yourself, but like self growth is so important at this stage in our lives. So just like letting them know that that self growth, you don't know where you're going to be in a few years. Because I think the scariest thing for them is just you like moving really far away, like permanently. I like don't understand that. So that's, I think, my piece of advice. Yeah. And I would say make sure they know that you are like,

like reliable and like know what you're doing with your money and with your time. Like, I don't think my parents would be okay with me moving out if I was clearly being irresponsible with my money. Like I show them how much money I make. I show them like my savings account. Like they, they know I'm responsible. So they trust me to go and,

Um, if you're moving out like that, like fully moving out, like financially independent moving out. Um, I think that's really important if you're moving out like college moving out and you don't need to like

really show that like if you're just moving out. So honestly, just little things like you have to do every single thing by yourself. Like I was actually telling my boyfriend this because he's moving to college and I was like, when you need like paper towels, you have to buy them. Like, like no one's going to the grocery store to like get random things like toilet paper like that's on you. Like, you have to get everything. Yeah.

Now my grocery list like consists of those things like toothpaste, like dishwasher. Yeah, like it's just that no one's getting it for you. Like no one's going to just like magically supply like the things you need in your apartment. You have to do it for you. But other than that, I don't think it's that crazy. I mean, I had a

I like living at home. I wasn't like under like strict rules at home, so I didn't find it that different. So I feel like I don't have that much advice to give and I'm moving out fully like alone, alone, like independent alone for the first time. So I guess I'll share what I need to, I'll tell you guys later what I didn't prep for and what I did, but so far so good. I don't know. Ooh, this is a good one. How do you move on from fake friends slash let them go and not feel bad?

Honestly, I'm so good at cutting that stuff out like very easily. Like if we didn't get along or like if it was a one way friendship, like I am just so easy at just moving on. But if God, I don't know. I don't know if I'm the best person to answer. I can just move on. No. Yeah, I, I agree. If, if you know that they're a fake friend, like,

I don't think you should feel bad, but also there's times, even if they're not a fake friend and you're just like moving on because life, it just happens. Like you can't be too hard on yourself. I just went through that like literally two days ago. Like pretty drastic one. I also just found out that, you know, apparently I'm a big talk of the town from people from my high school. So, Hey guys, if you're listening to this, but I also just, you have to send boundaries for yourself. Like,

And you can't feel bad about it. I literally just made a post on Instagram about like being selfish. But for me, a boundary is like, if I know you in real life and you talk down on my social media, I will block you because that's a boundary I have for myself. It's like my page, my space, my life. And if...

you know me personally and talk bad about my social media, you will be blocked. And I can't feel bad about that, even though it might seem like mean, because that's a personal boundary for me and my mental health. And that makes me happy to know that no one's talking about my stuff that doesn't want to be there. I think that's, and on their end, that's just so immature. Like they're just stuck in like their hometown, like-

have nothing better to do than just talk down on someone else. Like, that's just, like, it's insane to me. Because I, shout out to my hometown, but, like, I, like, used to have major issues with a lot of people from home. But, like, I, one night, my brother FaceTimed me. He was out at a party back home. And, like, a girl from my grade literally grabs the phone and she's, like, saying how much, how she's so proud of me. Like, she loves the podcast. She loves my Instagram. Like, all this stuff. And, like, I thought for the longest time, me and this girl, like,

we're just not on the best of terms anymore and I was like holy shit like these girls like actually support me now like it's just like a growth on both ends and like that just needs to happen yeah yeah I agree there's definitely have been people like that have like said very nice things to me like there have been like really great people and I feel like a lot of it is actually even like people that

were like distant to me, like barely know me that I randomly get a DM or like see at the gym and they're like, what are you doing is really cool. And I'm like, thanks. And I like never really talked to them. I'm like, I appreciate that like a lot. But yeah, I think you need to focus on like the good things that are happening to your life and know that especially I assume you're young. I assume you're like teenager, maybe my age, like you're probably like in your early twenties oldest. There's so much more life.

literally so much more like another thing too is at this time in your life you do need to be selfish like you need to be thinking about yourself you shouldn't like be so caught up in like friendships and stuff like that if it's not gonna benefit you with being the happiest most successful person for yourself like me and taylor we bounce off of each other we're literally like

putting each other into the right direction moving forward like those are the type of friendships you should have at this time in your life you shouldn't have one that's going to make you like very upset not feel 100% confident like those types of friendships just are not meant to be and if you have to move on from them move on

Yeah, exactly. And if you don't want to feel like too bad about it, like if it seems like a big drama, you don't have to go through this massive, like cut them off, like do this whole thing. Like you can easily be like, Hey, we were best friends when we were both like doing whatever we were doing a few years ago. And now it's just not like that anymore. And you're just distant, like say hi to them when you see them. But I'm sure if you're moving on, they're moving on too. And it's probably not that deep as like you think it is.

I love that saying. Not that deep. Okay.

This is such a funny question to me because I feel like, okay, I'll tell you why I think it's funny. Someone said how to balance working out with other aspects of your life. Like she feels like she's spending so much time at the gym and it's making me neglect other priorities like school and family. Okay. I think that's just funny because I've told people like our literal whole career is the gym. Yeah. So we're just terrible to give advice at that. Like my job is the gym. Yeah. Yeah.

Like people are like, oh, how do you balance the gyms? How do you balance going to the gym and like working? I'm like, well, me going to the gym is work. Yeah. So you can't compare to fitness influencers to be like, how are they always like in the gym and like eating healthy? Because that's their job. That is their job. Like people will text me like in the middle of the week and they'll be like, oh my God, like want to come to like this bar or something like watch this game, get drinks and like

Yes, but like if it affects my performance in the gym tomorrow like that's ruining my work for the day like I have to be able to work tomorrow and work is gym, you know. And then, as far as like, if you feel like it's making neglect your other priorities, real talk.

um, the gym is like an hour out of your day, um, to, for like a good workout. Obviously, like I said, it's our job. So we spend like the whole day thinking about working out, but if you're just going to the gym to like get healthy, you could maybe 45 minutes of your whole day. You have time. Yeah. Like you have time, you, you have time to like get your schoolwork done. And I stand by that. Like you have 45 minutes you do. So I think if you're balancing it all, if you're not

If you're stressed and you're not like using a planner or you're not trying to like get like healthy habits and get like a routine, you need to do that first because I trust me, you have time. And that's just the hard truth. You spin fast. That's my answer for everyone. And they're like, how do you like, like I want to work out, but I don't have time. I literally just think that's like crap because I'm like, you maybe not, maybe you can't work out to the extent I do. I get that. Like,

Six days a week, one to two hours in the gym. I get that. That's a lot. But like, you can go for a walk. Yeah, like, I just stand by that. You can get off your TikTok and yeah, yeah, exactly. Um, I'm just gonna keep scrolling we got these are actually pretty good like shout out to you guys.

If you want to be part of our Q&As more, just throwing this out there, make sure to follow the podcast Instagram. Okay. Anyways. Have you ever felt misunderstood because of your lifestyle, like the way you eat and work out?

Yes, at the very beginning, but no, now that people like actually understand and like realize like the importance of the way you I eat and the way I treat my body and they see it now, they're like, oh, OK, like this makes sense. But at the very beginning of my journey, I was like, if I was eating like super healthy, whatever, like people like, oh, like like they'd make those comments because like I wasn't I didn't look like the best.

you know the best like I wouldn't say like I don't know how to properly word that but like you know what I mean like at the very beginning I think it was but now that I feel like I've developed that better relationship with food no one really says anything anymore yeah I think it also our platforms help because it's like we clearly have like like a reason to be doing it because like everyone like

should like work out like eat healthy whatever but it's so just like common with us but even like if I'm on a vacation it's like I'm gonna find a gym I was in the middle of nowhere I got a gym membership for the week and like we drove to it we drove through these like treacherous roads to get there because it's like I'm gonna go to the gym I'm not going on a week vacation and not going to the gym and I think to some people that's kind of like what like like what would it's kind of like what would happen if you didn't go to the gym for a week I'm like nothing but like I just like

need to like like what do you like I need a I need to go work out like at least once and I just think it's weird I think the first time you kind of say like that you're caring to start what you eat especially for me okay like I'm vegan so I feel very misunderstood about like eating vegan because people just make the comments nothing bothers me more and is my biggest like turn off from a person not even in like a

like boyfriend way just like I don't want to speak to you or be around you if you're going to make comments about me being vegan I think it's so immature so that's like a bit because then people are just like oh like like I don't know like that like crazy vegan stereotype or like oh so like I don't know I can't even think about it because I'm thankfully no one does that to me anymore but it like like all you eat is grass or like or like let's say if I drink like

I'm in a diet Coke phase. People think it's bad for you. I don't care. I drink energy drinks. I drink pre-workout. I don't care about everything being insanely healthy. You have one life. I like artificial sweetener. Who cares? When people are like, oh, you like that, but aren't you healthy? I'm like,

F off. Like, I eat what I want to eat. Like, they think, like, so you're vegan and you're trying to be healthy, but, like, you drink Diet Coke? Yeah. Like, it's not that serious. Yeah, there are scenarios like that, too, that happen quite a bit. Yeah, being vegan's hard, like, especially because you don't want to bring it up to people because they think you're, like, shoving it down their throat when I'm just trying to tell someone I'm vegan. I feel like there's, like, there's two different types of vegans. There's the ones that are like you and don't, like,

give like like they don't care like they're not gonna make comments but then there are those people that like if you're with them and they'll make that comment like kind of degrade degrading the person that's not vegan and then you just feel like shit and you're just like oh well yeah no i'm eating chicken over here definitely not and then i think definite misunderstood like

In like comments. And we have a whole episode about that. How tracking macros isn't disordered. Yeah. Like that's a big one. But we have a whole episode on that. And I think that's a whole other topic. So you can definitely go listen. That's definitely a way we're understood. I like how someone asked how I feel about artificial sweeteners. Just answered that. I like Diet Coke. Yeah. I love way too much artificial sweeteners. These ices are freaking bomb. But everyone's like there's so much artificial sweetener in there. I'm like.

That's such BS. That is like my number one pet peeve with things. There's no evidence. Like there's no evidence artificial sweeteners bad for you. Unless I think the maximum daily limit of artificial sweeteners, like 35 cans of diet soda a day. No one's drinking that. No one's drinking that. And like, if you can have foods, it's going to make staying on your goals easier and more enjoyable. Why would you not eat them?

I would only ever tell someone to like watch those things if it's like affecting their skin. Exactly. Energy levels, like that type of stuff. But like if you're thriving during the day, like do you. Exactly. That's so different. That's, I'm glad you said that. Cause that's always my, like what I say, I'm like, unless you think like for some people, like their digestion can't take it. That's a personal problem. My digestion can't take raw carrots. That doesn't mean raw carrots are bad.

are bad for you. You just, they don't agree with you, which that could be anything that that's not just artificial sweetener. That can literally be any food that affects someone. So if you feel fine and it makes my life a little bit more enjoyable to like drink energy drinks, I don't think it's bad at all. Okay. I thought we weren't going to get that many questions and now there's kind of a lot and I'm overwhelmed. I was like,

Oh, a great one. How many calories we eat. We're never going to share that ever. I know. It's so frustrating. The amount of people that ask daily. I'm like, okay, let me just give you my, my numbers real quick. How do you deal? Oh, do you have one? I don't, I was just about to say awkward silence because we were both so quiet for like five seconds. Scrolling. How do you deal with hate regarding the way you look, dress, et cetera. So I,

You can't please everyone, one. And two, literally, just the thought in my mind that the most, like, beautiful people in the frickin' world get hate comments on the way they look, you're just never gonna win. Yeah. I feel like it's one of those things where I'm like, they're never gonna go away, but some of them do.

do affect me like a lot like I get hate about my eyebrows a lot and my eyebrows used to be if you asked me like what my favorite feature of my face was like I always thought that I'd like really nice eyebrows like they're really like naturally dark like they have a good shape like it kind of like looks like I feel them and I don't and I would say that to people I'm like I really like my eyebrows like they just like I like them and I get a ridiculous amount of hate comments about the way my eyebrows look

And that kind of sucks. Yeah. You know, it's like fucked up though. Like in a fuck, like a, sorry, I swear so much in like a very kind of bizarre way though. My lips are such a big insecurity in mind, but the more that people say things about my lips,

The more I love my lips, like in a weird way. Like, I'm just like, well, I'm like, well, I really like them. Like I was like, obviously I feel her now, but I'm like, I was born with them to be fucking crooked. Okay. And that's what I like them now. I like them more. Like,

I don't know. It's such a weird way to look at it, but I'm just like, it's causing me to like myself more because I have no other choice because no one else is going to make me happy other than myself making myself happy. Yeah, that's a good point. You got to be confident about it. Like I...

like it sucks like I'm not gonna say like oh like like it really sucks really bad like I'll just post a video talking and I'll get like three swipe ups that are like I love you but please stop doing that with your eyebrows and I'm like doing what with my eyebrows like they literally just like like I'll literally post a TikTok and they're literally like I can't focus on anything because like your eyebrows look so stupid okay you know what's crazy I remember me and you having this conversation we were at

um, that rooftop bar in LA. Do you remember this? And I asked, it was me, you and Ava just sitting there and I go, all right guys, what's everyone's biggest insecurity. And like, you said those two things. And then I said my lips and like, I just feel like since then, like my, like the way I think of myself has changed so much since that conversation I had, because

You just can't let others like fucking dictate what you think about yourself. Yeah, no, like literally. No, but it's really true, especially if it's something that you like about yourself. F that. And I just think looking at like, okay, like Olivia Ponton, I stan Olivia Ponton. I think she's beautiful. I think I just like her. I think she's doing great for her life, whatever. Like the fact that she can get hate comments about like how she looks is

I'm like, get out of here. Like literally like models will get hate comments about the way they look. So it's like, you, you are never going to win ever. It doesn't matter. Like you get a bunch of plastic surgery to fix it. And then people are like hating on people like Kylie Jenner. Cause they're like fake. There's just no way to win regarding like looks face wise. And then they asked about how like you dress too. I got literally a video went like almost viral. Cause I was like, help me pick an outfit for leg day.

because like the flannel i was wearing blue shorts a black sports bra oh yeah and a flannel and the flannel didn't have blue in it but like people freaking freak out and everyone was like oh this is a train wreck like that does not match i'm like one i'm going to the gym let's i'm going to the gym two it's really not that bad and now everyone tags me in their stories like wearing a flannel because they're like so-and-so like because of me like tags me because i'm wearing a flannel to the gym

And it's like more people probably like you than hate on you. Well, that video I was getting a lot of hate, but they were also just egging on because people were saying it. So they were like joining in, like liking the comment. When there's one hate comment and then there's a second, it ends up leading to like a hundred. Yeah. People just think they can like confidently say something and get away with it. Yeah. But I would never stop wearing like that outfit. I literally was like, well, I think that outfit's cute.

So like I posted it, like I wasn't going to delete it. Like I'm like, I like my outfit and I posted on Instagram too. So they can take that. And it probably got more likes than their outfit videos. You just got to hype yourself up. Moral of the story. Yes, ma'am. Where do you see yourself in five years? Oh goodness. Owning my own business of some sort. Don't know what the heck that's going to be. I have so many ideas, so many things streaming through my brain.

With that, hopefully a man is in my life. And I have traveled to a bunch of damn places by then and I'll probably hopefully know where I'm living. Yeah, I would hope to like own a house. Yeah. I'd be 25. Okay, I'd hope to like own a house, own my own gym slash just like business. Maybe that goes in a different direction, but I'd hope it's like a gym.

What else do I want to do? Maybe be like almost like on the like verge to being like engaged. I thought you were going to say pregnant. No. Ew, no. No. Yeah, engaged. Love that. Let me find a man first. You at least have a man. God damn. All right. That's pretty much it. Like just being more successful with our business. I don't know where I'd want to live. I'm going to be 28 in five years. That's nuts. That's so nuts. That's nuts.

Someone said, this is so like deep, but also like so nice to ask. Someone said, how's your mental health been?

I'll get real, not like real, but like, I just want you guys to like relate if you guys are in a similar situation. Cause I felt like if I was going, when I was almost, um, when I started taking medication for my like, um, mental health issues, I felt really weird about it. So I don't talk about it a lot, but now that I have the podcast, I feel like I can talk about it. And I just felt like if I had someone that I followed that like talked about it, maybe I would have felt better about it. Cause I felt really weird about it. Like I felt just like,

Like, oh my God, I must be so crazy because I have to like start taking medication. So I am on medication for like anxiety and depression, whatever. And it's kind of been like shit recently because I'm about to get my period. And then like I ran out of my prescription. So it's this whole thing. So it's kind of been really bad.

And I know it gets bad when the gym makes me angry. I was laughing in the gym with David. I decided to laugh off my bad mood because I was so angry. Everything was making me angry. Everything. And then I just decided to laugh because I was like, you know what? This isn't getting better. So we'll just laugh about it. And I was just sitting there and I was pissed. Like every... I had no mind muscle connection. I was... And I was just looking around. I was like, everything is making me angry. He was like, why? I don't know. It was just funny. But I just had to laugh about it. So...

big tip it works but it's kind of been bad it's just that time of the month which just sucks but laughed it off got chipotle and then everything was better yeah i you guys can already know mine has been fucking horrible i want to do therapy so bad but it's just like i have like obviously like i can't make excuses to not get to therapy but it's just like i am such a busy person i don't even know if i would be able to squeeze that into my life like

So much has happened in the last month. And I honestly, Taylor, I didn't even tell you this. I'm just going to say it on my podcast. I really don't care. But last week when I was home, me and my family got into a boat accident. And yeah, it was like really bad. Didn't tell anyone. I was like not like it was like I literally thought like life was like flashing before me. Like it was literally the scariest thing ever.

ever and I just feel like so much shit has fucking happened to me in the last like whatever like month or so and I just want it to turn at some point because if it doesn't like it's just gonna get so much worse so much I've no yeah like I've like I've been seeing like everything you post and I'm like fuck man I'm sorry curse my parents listen to this whatever but I know like how I've been there where it feels like everything is

Like, I've been there. And, like, I just know we'll turn around. I think once we get, like, settled again and, like, it's going to be, like, a new routine, like, I think that'll be a good change because it'll be, like, a – I like fresh starts. Like, I like, okay, this is, like, a legit new, like, new start. Like, living in a different, like, apartment. Like, it's a whole, like, new –

new start so that might be good but aside from the literal horrible things and I'm so glad everyone's okay that's terrifying yeah but aside from the water and total but oh my god that's like a whole nother story I'm just like I'm just happy me and my family are okay no yeah thing of my entire life um I think once like I said aside from the literal things that are like being shoved at you that

are like throwing like a wrench and everything with like work wise, I think, I think you can make the time for therapy. Cause the same way I just told this girl, she has 45 minutes to, it's only once a week. I didn't really, I didn't really like it, but I want a new therapist. I kind of want to use like better help or something. They sponsor a lot of podcasts. Maybe we can like work with them. They're like online. Yeah.

therapy yeah I did zoom the thing is it's like emotionally draining like if I had therapy like the whole day I'm like crying yeah like it's like not I mean it like depended on the time where sometimes I'm like crying the whole time before and then I go to therapy then I'm like okay I'm better but then sometimes I'm like having a good day and then I go to therapy then I'm crying and I'm like that seemed counterproductive

I just, like, I can't... Like, the worst with it is, like, obviously, I went home last, like, two weeks ago because my mental health was so bad. So I was like, whatever, I'll just go home. And I thought that was gonna be, like, my fresh start for myself. But that didn't even help. So I'm like, what could possibly help? Like, I don't know. I just need something. Nine days. Ten. I guess nine because today's almost over. I just...

I just think fresh starts, like I was listening, if you guys listen to Manifest with Tori Simone, it's like another podcast. She did a whole podcast about how she loves fresh starts, like getting a new planner, like just like something to like signify that it's like a new time. I just love that so much. And I feel like, I think that would help a lot. Just feeling like it's like new and just putting it all behind, but maybe you should journal.

Yeah. I hate journaling, but maybe you should do it. I don't know. I hate school type of stuff, like writing, typing. I hate all that stuff. So I don't know. Maybe I can try it. Oh my God. Some of these questions, it makes me sad because I know what you're feeling and I wish I had more advice, but at least I just want to tell you I relate. Like,

Someone said, what do you do when you feel your life is just happening, but you're not living your life? Okay. That is exactly how I felt until I kid you not like this summer. So from like graduating high school to the summer, when it was like two years, that is exactly how I felt. And you literally just got to keep on keeping on. I wish I had more advice, but I just wanted to tell you, I relate to the girl that asked that I feel you and it sucks. It's the weirdest feeling, but

There's a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise. Again, you're probably so young and you have so much life to live. Yeah. Like some of these, I'm like, I wish I could give you a hug. I know. I want to give everyone a hug. I want like, I need a hug. I want to fucking million ones. I'm not sure about that. Oh, did anyone just hear that? I did. I was like, is someone there? No, that's my Alexa speaker. Oh my God. Some of these are like bad. I don't think we're going to talk about that kind of stuff. Oh God. Like what?

Maybe in life, but like my family listens to this, guys. Don't get dirty. Yeah, can I talk about boys for a minute? Let me see if there's... Oh, let's talk about ics. What are your ics in a guy? Okay.

My icks. Yeah, what are your icks in a guy? Just act like you're single for a minute. What is something, because you can't say an ick and then David be like, well, I do that and him get mad, be like, what the heck? Why are you saying that's my thing? No, no, no, no. I don't think nothing that I would say he would do. I don't think he also listens to this. Like not, I feel like I'm gonna say that and people are gonna be like, he doesn't support you. No, he does, but he hears me talk all hours of the day. Why would he listen to me talk? Like for an hour.

hour like he hears me talk all day every day like he's not gonna he'll listen to like maybe the beginning but like an hour talking to me when we're really gonna like hang out it's kind of like I don't think I'd listen to it either but um I don't I'm like so bad with that like I really don't I don't know like I feel like I don't have an answer go first maybe I'll spark ideas okay this just like popped in my brain like not popping my brain but like a big ick that I had like last week

was like, this is so corny, so cheesy, so like bad. But like, if a guy doesn't even know what freaking creatine is, like, I'm sorry. Like, no, like, oh, you just like, and like energy directly doesn't know what supplements are. Like, if you don't know, you're like, don't know your supplements. I don't know why that's just like such an ick to me. I'm like, oh, like, I know more about like, like this stuff than you do. I

um see because the thing is like the way I've seen it so much like you know the funny ones that it's like them chasing after a ping pong ball or like stop like those are like one thing but legit like turn off type things like any type like just being like stupid like

maybe that's mean but like like being like kind of like slow or like not understanding like not understanding what I'm saying I get so frustrated I cannot cannot but that's just because I'm really impatient but I feel like a lot of the things I see are like funny oh just being also just like really really obnoxious in the gym yeah like so obnoxious or like not even like like I'm just such like a gym goer like I need my mans to like understand the gym

and I just feel like if you don't understand the gym like I don't see us working out no yeah yeah working out like legitimately and working out like relationship wise yeah no yeah for sure but also just like like a curl in the squat rack type dude oh yeah no there there's a big like there's like the happy in between of those two that's like so oh my god I hate it gross

Or if you smell really bad today in the gym, people smelled so bad. It was so gross. Me too. I saw your story and then I walked past people and I was like, yo, was it like no deodorant day? Because like you had just posted it. And then I walked past people. I was walking on the treadmill next to someone and I wanted to throw up. Oh my God. I honestly, it's low key probably been me before. So, you know.

I don't even think like like either of us could possibly smell as bad as like certain guys do in the gym no dudes reek I'm like I'm like I don't think I've ever smelled that bad like I could try to like if I wanted to not wear deodorant for the full day sure but I don't think I could ever get to that point of that disgusting smell that I smell I agree I have never been around a group of girls that smell like a group of guys do I cannot no I'm so for real

I kid you not in high school our dance room was right across the street from the guys football like um like the weight room oh yeah that's where they'd be for football practice they would leave their cleats like in the hallway oh my god like you couldn't breathe like they would come in after practice and the smell would fill up the dance room like across the hallway would be filled with like

boys not wearing deodorant so yeah boys wear deodorant that's a good point I completely forgot about that like a girl's locker room and a guy's locker room like from like high school or like college sports like big differences in the smells no it's also because guys don't like I feel like take as good a care of stuff good as good care of their stuff so like they're gonna like sweat and close and just leave it in their bag

yeah and like I don't think girls really do that I don't know so willing to wear like the same like workout tank top every single day for a week and not like yeah washing it but that's why I think guys need to understand more that it's so so nice when a guy is like clean and it's not like not manly to like be clean my boyfriend is like very clean I'll admit he like

does a good job with that but i think it should be so normal for every guy to get a manicure i think guys should get many petties i'm i literally think guys should get their nail like obviously not like painted can there be like a guy a guy place though there is there is like in la and stuff there's literally guy places they exist good they exist i think i think it should be so common to get like your nails cleaned up i think we're all

He, she, they, I don't care. Clean your nails. Don't discriminate. Just clean your nails. I wish you could see Taylor's facial expressions when she says this. I mean it. Cause I mean, I'm not even going to sit here and say like, I have like perfect nails. People are going to DM David and be like, make sure you're cleaning your nails. And it's like, even if they're not clean, that's okay. But like, if my nails are not clean, I'm actively voicing, like I need a manicure.

Like, you shouldn't just be okay with it. Yeah. That's mine. I'm like, don't be coming out of your mani-pedi with, like, pink nails. But get it done. Get, like, a clear coat. Just make sure they're clean. That'd be nice. That was such a long tangent. I want to, like, refresh this. I need more. Okay, there we go. Um...

How do you feel about moving? I want to move to Texas, but nervous to make it happen. Why are you nervous? Just do it. Just do it. What? I get it. If you're alone, that's really scary. Like, I don't think I'd do it completely by myself. Like, because, like, you knew, like, the strive to thrive people, like, whatever. Yeah. So if that's the case, I get it. But, I mean, go for it. It's fun. We live here. So. I know. You'll see us. You'll see us around. You'll see me walking the trails every time. Yeah. Go to the gym. Like,

from the morning to like 12 you'll probably see us there at least like once I know sometimes like I'll like like purposely say on my stories which gym I'm going to like when I'm in my car I'm like okay I'm about to go here because I know there are certain like people that follow me that like are trying to meet me up at the gym like like based on like where I'm going like there was a few girls the other day that like they like came up to me like we were coming to like we came to this gym because of you and I was like no way I was like I don't mind it but I just don't want people

stalking the crap out of me that's cute though it is cute but I just you never know there could be like that creepy 40 year old man yeah yeah man but I feel kind of safe posting a gym because like yeah I know I'm in a public exactly crowded space and I know like yeah the dumbbell is like a weapon like yes we know yeah no especially like in the gold gym in this city like you're legit in the city there's no yeah no way like

yeah like I just feel safe I'd feel safe posting in a gym just because like there's a lot of people and like that's whatever yeah what would you go back and tell your high school self oh god break up with your ex-boyfriend oh big yeah big retweet okay don't date him that's that yeah honestly yeah okay easy easy oh god

I hope that gets back to him. Oh, I do not. I hope he has no idea that this podcast exists. Oh, God.

Do you ever see yourself growing out of social media? Honestly, yes. But in the terms of like, I don't think I'll ever stop posting because I think it's fun. And I like my phone. But I just see myself putting way more effort into like the businesses I run and then having my social media be like my side thing rather than social media being my main thing.

like, like job. Like I want to be on, I want to be able to post on Instagram because I want to. And cause I think it's like fun and I can like be creative and then like run my business and like whatever. And like have people on my team that do like stuff for me and just be able to share my life, but focus mostly on my business, especially when I'm going to be like a mom and stuff. Like, I don't think I'm going to be doing like, yeah.

Especially like being like a mom, like, I don't know. I'm going to be so much like so, so much more. That's not English. Like, so how am I supposed to say that? Same with dumb ass. I just want to be more private with my kids. Like when I have kids. Yeah. I feel that. I just think I want to be able to use it just like at my free, like whenever I want to and whenever I want to post and be way more okay with taking breaks. Then right now it's like, you need to post, you need to post consistently. You need to post stories. You need to post reels. Cause you want to grow.

yeah but I want to get to the point where like my real life businesses are like settled and now it's just like something I like to do for fun yeah so agreed that's that we'll just do like a few more I don't know how long we've been talking I forgot to do I we literally didn't usually guys when we come on here we'll say the time usually like to each other like okay it's four o'clock and then because we had a rough start we never even like said that to each other we had a

um those are all the ones from my instagram so i'm gonna just scroll through the podcast instagram ones oh my god you whoa they probably saw the podcast one in hopes of like us seeing it more if that makes sense is taylor talking to a special guy i have a boyfriend of two years a special guy i don't really know what that meant like i feel like maybe the book like like maybe they just saw me like posting a boy and they thought it was like some secret thing i don't know yeah i don't know

So much of it. I get so many questions. Like so much of these, like a few of them are like, what are you going to do about your boyfriend? Like blah, blah, blah. Like you're moving away. Like, yes, it is difficult. What do you expect me to answer that? Like people are just like, what are you going to do? I'm like, hope for the best. I don't know. Like hope we're both like happy. Like what do you expect me to answer that? That's so many of them. So I just thought I'd...

my god you guys went nuts bro i should have came on here first ah um sam do you have any questions off the top of your head you threw out the boy one i know i'm so i'm like i don't know why i've been just so boy feening lately i don't know why i just haven't had i want to have fun that sounds so bad what is it respectable yeah

you know oh someone asked you how you take care of your eyelash extensions because they're so pretty oh thank you um I have like eyelash cleanser that I use after like when I get back from the gym every day and I just run it over my eyelashes and then I pat them dry but if you're sweating like a crazy person at the gym just keep wiping your face that way your sweat doesn't like

you know drop into your eyes because the retention will like wear off from the glue um but other than that then don't like directly put your face into the water in the shower wash your face separately it's kind of like a hassle but honestly after like a few weeks of having them you get so used to it and you don't even like feel like you're restricting from like doing something specific to like maintain them if that makes sense

so i i've gotten better at it and sleeping you don't sleep on your face i don't do that anymore and like it's not like i'm like forcing myself not to sleep on my face i just don't anymore so that's that nice informative yeah happiest day slash moment of your life oh goodness i have an answer it's gonna sound so cheesy but i'm being for real because a lot of these are like

A lot of them also say, like, how'd you get out of, like, a dark time in your life? Like, blah, blah, blah. Like, feeling like that or whatever. Honestly, like, no joke. Like, this literally sounds too diesel. The day, like, we first met and hung out was, like, one of my, like, happiest days in the past, like, two years. Because I was going through it bad. Like, like, like, bad. Like, I was not in a good space at all. And, like, I literally, like, finally, that day, I was like, oh, my God, I found my way out. Like, I was, like, like.

I was like, I like found my way out. Like, like the it's over. I do remember that though. We were literally sitting on the beach and I could just like tell just by like looking into your eyes. Like I was so bad. I really not like a zombie, but like emotionally just like not there. If that makes sense. I was freaking like, I was so nervous. Cause I literally was so like, like lonely for so long. I was like, I don't know how to interact socially with people.

like I was literally like I have nothing to talk about like I like like life has been so shitty and like that was the day I was like oh my god like this is actually gonna be like a thing like this like job I built because that was that was also like when I first started like like making money off this like money to the point where like oh wait this is a job like and like it was just like oh my god like this like is something like I can like meet people through this is gonna be a job like like holy shit I did it like and that was like a

that was like cool I mean like of my whole life I don't know but of like the recent past I know are we talking I know how recent are we talking I cannot tell you happiest moments like I really don't I don't remember anyone I don't think I've had one

Like, I feel like I just like am so caught up in like what's been happening in my life recently that I can't even think of like something. Yeah. And someone asked the same person as saddest day, but that does not sound fun to talk about. So that does not. Mine's going to be the boat accident last week. So that's that. But should we do like one more? Yeah. Okay. Let's find one more.

We should put like elevator music. Really though because you'll be reading but you're reading so you don't realize there's awkward silence so then I'm just sitting here and I'm like there's awkward silence. I'm trying to find a good question. Yeah you're fine. Oh my god. Next time we do this we should say like the username that asked it. I want to but I'm also like

do they want to be like do they want to say it if we put it we'll probably put like next time just say we'll say yeah or we can say to put like tell us if you don't want your name said because I debated reading them but I was like what if they don't didn't want it I think this is a good general one someone just said like what's your opinion on college or slash like university like dude I don't think we're the right people to answer that I feel like

Kind of we are like we have like a very like well rounded like you were a whole like college athlete. Yeah, like I feel that aspect to it is like awesome but like, I think they just fucking steal your money. In my opinion.

respect I think that if you love it and it's like what you want to do that's I don't agree with telling people like some people that like people like college and people are just like oh like college is dumb like I don't think so like if you like it and you're having a good time that's so great for you but I also you don't have to feel alone or like a failure or whatever if it doesn't work out for you

Yeah, like it. I think in the now and in the next few years it's not going to become as common of a thing to go do. Yeah, and like I was an art major guys so like my, my degree was graphic design and like I learned absolutely nothing from college like graphic design, any arts is just something where you need to get out into the fields and be like,

experiment with it. Like the only way you can get better is by doing the art. Like that's the only way you can get better. So like for me, I personally with my major did not learn anything in college. It was just me like doing project after project after project after project.

Just to continue to practice art. That's how I got better. Yeah. I guess it depends on like your major and like. Yeah, definitely. Cause obviously if you want to be like a doctor or a lawyer, like nothing, but if you want to like do anything else, I don't think you need to limit yourself to staying in college. Like I think in my personal opinion, if you're in college and you get the opportunity to like take a semester off and like work for a certain company or like do an internship instead or like travel to go to

meet certain people, like, I don't think you should limit yourself just because, like, school. Yeah, I went abroad, too. That's another thing, like, that's, those opportunities, like, are not possible without college, like, going abroad and, like, being able to, like, explore all these different parts of the world, like, in a safe way, like, through a program, and I feel like that's a great way, like, college has helped me being able to do that. Sports, obviously, um,

friends. Yeah. I mean like those opportunities, like that's something that I still often like kind of think like, wow, like I wish I had opportunities like that, but at the same time, like life pushes you in a direction for a reason. And I was going to say to my people that are in college and enjoying it, I don't think it's worth it at all to literally destroy yourself for good grades. If you were like not eating, like not sleeping, like so stressed to get like an A on a test, I don't think that's worth it at all. Unless it's

I don't know like I know like people have like certain like scholarships or something and like GPAs and like grad school but even then like just like life will go on and I think the idea of like the way people have to study and kill themselves for college exams yeah is absurd like I don't think that's right at all like I don't think you should sacrifice being happy and like

living your life for a test ever just because your gpa also doesn't matter like you got the degree my tests were so stupid like art tests like that's funny you like made a picture pay but it paid off the graphics on the pod instagram look great yeah we pulling through with it my degree thank god or else thank god i'm not running it guys you guys would be like um

what is it gonna come to the point where we're gonna need one we're gonna need to hire one of y'all yeah which my thing is with that like i would love to hire someone but it's like how much do you even pay someone yeah it's like i have no idea definitely not a full-time job that's for sure yeah but maybe we'll figure that out that's definitely coming up but yeah i'd say don't um

don't like limit yourself to college but also I feel like people are just under this impression that like you can just like be an influencer and like you drop out and be an influencer and like grow your Instagram and that's not it that's not it at all don't like literally drop out because you could hit like 10k on TikTok like let's not do that like that's not it

Not it at all. And you also have to know like is what you're doing. You have to be realistic about like the opportunities you're getting like I, I built like a legit like legitimate business for myself. I didn't just like randomly like people, some people adults still think I like dance on TikTok. And I'm like that's not what I do, but I know yeah, you're like what are you going to do when you people don't want to see you like dance on TikTok anymore. I'm like I did not what it is. But, yeah.

uh that was a crap ton of questions you guys did good asking them well we could do these more maybe we could do them like we'll do them like every so often a little catch up i don't know i think i don't know i don't do q and a's very often but that's it for episode nine i think nine yep i think it's nine because i think it is

yeah yeah if it's not then whatever yeah if it's not i guess you guys can go count or we could count right now but that seems like too much work i think we're right okay well i hope you guys have a great friday or whenever you're listening to this and we will see you next week our last episode in on zoom yes ma'am love y'all excited love you guys bye
