Life isn't perfect, and neither are we.

No, but we know how to face our fears and have some fun.

And talk about all the messiest things of life.

Like the messiest things.

Get connected to yourself, get connected to others, and get connected to the life right in front of you. This is the connected

life with Justin and Abby. That's me. That's you. And you. Hey friends, welcome to the podcast today.

Before we get going, I want to say something real quick. If you haven't given us a rating or a review

somewhere and subscribed on YouTube, that's something you could do. I think you should think about that today. I think as you listen to this episode, you're like, they're a wonderful quality people. Maybe I should take time to rate, review, subscribe, and share. So we're just, I thought I'd remind you of that. Oh, okay. Because sometimes we say that at the end and I feel like people get all the

good information. I'm like, I don't need to listen to him. Tell me about rating and reviewing and

subscribing and sharing. That is funny. But I thought I'd kick it off there. Wow. What a unique and

interesting start to our podcast. Look, here's the deal. If you don't do that, stop right now. No, no, no, no. You're not allowed to listen. You're not allowed to listen. You go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. Hey, when I was a kid, the corner time. That was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, every, every kid kid got corner time. I didn't sit in the corner. I did not sit in the corner. I fell asleep in the corner quite a bit. That mostly sounds like your body went into freeze. It was like, I'm alone. No, you got exhausted. No, no, no, it's called here. It's like, oh, it's so boring. It's not like you can sit

there and, like, flip on a phone while you're in the corner. I wonder if adults got put in corners, what they would do. They'd probably fall asleep. And most adults would like it. Yeah, they're like, thank you for a break for my life. Send me to a corner. Anyways, I have something about today's episode. Yeah, go ahead. I was thinking about today's episode and I was remembering

this one time. corner. Anyways. I have something about today's episode. Yeah, go ahead. I was thinking about today's

episode and I was remembering this one time where I was in this relationship and I was feeling

super tormented about it. I was dating this guy and there was a lot of things that he checked off on

my list that were really great and wonderful about him. But I just felt tormented about being in their relationship.

And I had one of my friends who was like an older sister mom figure.

She came in one day and said, look, we got to have a conversation.

And I was like, okay, what?

And she's like, I'm intervening.

This is not okay.

This cannot go on the way it is. You are clearly not happy.
