#30 Our Relationship + Things We've Never Told You | Normal to Nomad Podcast 

I have heard of it and im soooo interested in hearing about your experience! Please share!! 😊❤️

omg yes, please share 🤍

I've heard about it. I want to try that.

Yes please

Yes, more on that for sure, please and thanx!!

🧐

Guys are always on testosterone so….

And in fact, PMS is before periods...

About the pets omg lol. My bf gets all the cats loving on him and I'm 2nd. I love them toooo much and they hate that hahaha.

I always reply with, "no mother fucker, still got about a week!" Haha I try to educate every dumbass who thinks he smart about periods to make that comment.

Young at heart never hurts anyone... I am 17 years older than E&B. They do have a great dialog.

Isn’t it wonderful to see a healthy relationship? They are standing on our shoulders and doing better than we did but on the progress we aspired to. ♥️

I am also in my 70's and have been following for a good time. I find you very interesting. And plan to continue to follow you.

I'm REALLY far from their demographic. I'm African American, 62 yrs.old, overweight, definitely a couch Potatoe, with fibromyalgia! I've been watching them since they started. I like to let their videos pile up like 5-6 at a time then watch them with a huge bowl of rainbow sherbet! I absolutely LOVE THEM !!!!🥰🤣😁😳

AGREED....what Karen Kennedy said!

She does have a head for radio

yep

Pms. Pack my suitcase

Yeah it's really nice to know a guy like Baron can exist

Can’t agree more! If more women understood their own cycles and what havoc unbalanced hormones can cause in their own mind/ body, and shared that info with their partners, we would maybe keep some relationships healthy and loving. So important and I’ve never heard anyone bring up the subject!! Thanks for these open and frank discussions! We need them. 😊

@@russpost2557 Hilarious! Love it! :0D

I recently found out I might have PMDD via a friend who was recently diagnosed. My husband is getting good at seeing the “flip” as it hits, but I still need to get used to noticing it; as I often think it’s my anxiety or depression (or both) kicking in. Sigh.

Me and my husband were together for 9 years before we got married, after we got married it absolutely changed our relationship. They say the first 10 years are the most difficult and I would absolutely agree, we are in our 11th year (of marriage - so 21 years together) and things are evening out. I believe it’s a mindset that changes, once you marry you then realise ok this is forever and you tend to work together a lot harder to solve issues than walk away. I feel if we weren’t married many of our bigger fights where we have spent maybe a few nights apart would have been more permanent but we were kind of forced to work it out, we also have 2 daughters. I wouldn’t agree to staying together for children ever as it makes for an unhappy environment for them but it’s more so we made these vows to each other and they still ring true in my head today. There are times I will slow aye love him but I don’t like him lol. Many people will say oh is just a piece of paper maybe true for some but to us we took it very seriously the decision to marry, I wrote my own vows we were married religiously we were married by a humanist. Yeah I completely agree it feels like a deeper level, this person becomes like a limb swell to me he certainly is. No matter how angry I just know permanently I would struggle to live without him. I can and could as I am a strong women raising 2 strong women but also we made the decision to marry and I personally and I know him too has taken it extremely serious. I mean we had a happy little surprise baby girl before - and I was on birth control which clearly failed so from then on I done natural fertility tracking. We decided just before wedding to try for number 2 and she was born 8 months after the wedding. So living together with a baby even then yes we had a strong deep bond but I don’t know after we got married, our relationship just changed.

In the 80s my uncle and I drove from New England to Washington State. One of the states I was most taken in by on the drive was Montana. Big Sky country with rolling hills, farm land, beautiful forests, wildlife and country living. I also remember it seemed like it took forever to drive across the state. You're very lucky to live in such an amazing place.

@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 Yes I feel extremely lucky. I absolutely love it here. Been to Glacier national Park twice driving "Going to the Sun Road" in the summer then fall. I was literally crying tears of happiness going through there. Incredibly beautiful place. I live 98 miles from the East entrance and the drive from my place to there I may see 5 cars on the highway. It's just blows my mind having lived in other states in my life where you don't get to experience that anymore. So refreshing and peaceful to now live here for sure.

Hey you guys! Long time you tube watchers and love being able to “listen” to your podcast on you tube! You asked for suggestions of topics…your ayahuasca journey would be interesting to hear…we are fellow psychedelic journey people lol, the mushies. 😁

I ❤️ Montana BIG TIME! Dated an American man for 5 years who lived there and introduced me to this beautiful state, Bozeman, Bridger Bowl, Big Sky resort and Moonlight basin (& skiing over Christmas with no line ups (!), Yellowstone, ‘bear jams’, Boiling River hot springs in the snow, rock climbing, dancing in the rain at the Sweet Pea Festival, I could go on,… if I could move somewhere and retire it would be there too!

@@candybrown3785 I envision you as someone who appreciates the beauty of this planet, Candy. When my uncle and I drove across he commented to me as to how I was in awe of the Rocky Mountains driving through. I have never really been into traveling, so for me driving 3000 miles across America was an amazing adventure. Seeing the old mine shafts, the landscapes, mountain goats, elk, antiquated barns, etc really fascinated me. I never knew how beautiful this country really was until that drive. These days I journal all my life's events in the form of poetry. I have a book on Blurb and will be doing a second book hopefully this year. I get inspired by a lot of what I've experienced in life. That trek across the country is a big part of those memories and what inspires me to chronicle. 😊

Funny, a relationship I had in the 90s was based mostly on fighting. She was Italian, high strung and a drinker/smoker. I was Mr. Health Nut, no alcohol, hated conflict, but took no crap from anyone. We fought for over two years regularly until the very end when we were pretty much just friends once all the smoke had settled from the fiery relationship. We split shortly thereafter. In retrospect, I wonder if we shouldn't have just stayed together and built upon the 2-1/2 year friendship it took us to sculpt deciding who the dominant baboon was in the relationship. Odd how the human 🧠 operates at times.

@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 Not suggesting that couples stay together as cats and dogs, I've headed down the road a few times myself. Stil, one never knows what's behind the feelings and emotions of a "couple", good or bad.

@@LNee-ds9nc I remember her being on the computer at the very end of the relationship when we pretty much didn't fight anymore, but also had very little romantic or sex life left due to our minds having received too much negative input from each other to the point of complete depleted desire for either, and turning to me and says "We're pretty much just friends now, huh?" I said, yeah, pretty much. It seems we'd traversed the gap of power to where we finally understood one another and that there was no need to steamroll the other since all it ever netted us was anger and angst. It's just odd that neither of us thought trying to build upon a friend foundation was an option. I suppose prior damage done had left too many fresh wounds for recovery at that juncture. Anywho, sorry to babble. Just recanting as I type. LoL Take care....

This compound found in Ayahuasca is an illegal class 1 drug. It alters your brain waves.

I'm 46 and still take a " solo trip" just a couple times a year when I feel the need to reconnect.

I found this very refreshing.

What she said! 👍🏼😊

Besides being married you have to have a health care proxy to represent your partner in medical matters, a durable power of atty to have authority over financial things and a will to get the estate settled quickly. You need these if you are married or not. Biggest financial reason to be married is survival benefits from social security and Medicaid. Did you know if younger than age 60’s and you are married there are monthly benefits to survivor and children? If not married none of this is available. If over 62 the survivor keeps the largest social security payment of the two. Lastly use an estate atty to do these documents to get them done correctly. Price is the same.

Yes, Robert, though at the age of 30 we weren't even aware of health care proxies etc. Another thing there seems to be a taboo about is the discussion of health issues, disability and death. Chronic illness struck out of nowhere after a lifetime of active living and good health choices. Better safe than sorry I always say. I think we thought we were invincible when we were younger.

@@TaraFinlay can you tell i ran my own financial planning company? All my clients had these after receive the information, no matter the age. The problem is these and other financial information is not taught in school or college.

So true.

Be VERY, VERY CAREFUL about your assumption that you both will have what is in your best interests, and no one will take away your rights to your partner; that depends on the state, as well. In MA., if a daughter, e.g. wants EVERYTHING in her father's Estate, even though her father has a wife - the daughter can - by hook and crook - convince her father to hand over everything to the daughter - and - leave out the second wife!!! Yes, indeed - that is VERY LEGAL!!! What makes that possible, is that the daughter convinces her father to write out a Trust which leaves the wife out, and leaves everything to the daughtet; that is the difference - if the father DOES NOT write a Trust, - THEN, AND ONLY THEN can the wife retain most of the husband's Estate after the husband's death, bc the father did not write out a Trust, so the Inheritance process goes through the STATE PROBATE/ COURT in your distrct. BE VERY - VERY - VERY AWARE of that difference! I had to learn that out the hard way!!!!!! That 6 year old, in a grown up body of a daughter WANTED EVERYTHING, and went about EVERYTHING to get me out of her way!!! - The only way I walked away with anything at all, was that I filed for divorce - which an consulting attorney suggested I do, so as to I, at least would walk away with a little....And, she/ daughter won most of everything!!!! Too long a story, but - be careful with that false sense of security!!!!!!! Be wary of ANYONE who might try to interfere in grabbing some relative's Trust!!!

And what was the worst experience? Why? What happened?

Same! I'd love to hear more about Thailand

Yeah, I feel like I need therapy after watching as well. Wait! What!?!?! 😉🤪

when they only let next of kin in the hospital?

That's so awesome!

That is a wonderful gift to both your son and his future partner! So many men are clueless as to what women actually go through. It would hopefully make them so much more empathetic when this time comes each month. Your son will be a much better, more connected partner for it. 🙌

I agree. “ estrogen withdrawal “ is real. Our body chemistry is amazing, but as women we learned somewhere that mood swings and all the things that go with our menses are negative. It’s not , it the way we are made. PMS I feel is negative. Our menstrual cycle is very important not only for bearing children but as divine feminine beings it is a primal instinct to go inward and withdraw. When we give birth in a natural way we go in word during the birthing process. During our menstrual cycle should be more of a celebration lol. The challenges that we face every month I believe come from centuries of women being “unclean”. Native human beings celebrate the woman’s menstrual cycle spiritually. It’s OK to not be OK. Allowing ourselves to feel the feels and stop feeling guilty for who we are. These mood fluctuations are primal. Many of us have very different experiences during this time, but it’s directly related to our perception, our diet, and societal and religious beliefs. Unfortunately because of that managing and understanding are emotions more challenging. Great Pod cast!

so sorry Jack. You must miss her...hope you are doing well!

@@theresatripp4297 Thank you for your concern. I do miss her so much but have to keep going.

No one has ever asked for our marriage license when either of us was in the hospital. "I'm his wife." The end.

@@skippyjeans2209 RN here, depending on the laws in your state, if your partner were to be incapacitated in some way and unable to make their own decisions, it can be an issue if there’s no power of attorney in place. If the patient can’t make their own decisions or designate someone to make decisions for them, (and they have no healthcare POA in place) usually that responsibility falls to next of kin which is usually not their partner if they are not legally married. A power of attorney document makes the patient’s designated decision maker super clear in a worst case scenario.

@@MrsLinds2642 Me and my partner of 10 yrs have POA for that reason. It gives us a great peace of mind.

@@skippyjeans2209 ah, there you go

@@skippyjeans2209 Unless they have a child or parent who comes along and claims "next of kin". W/out a copy of a marriage license (should it come down to that), u will be at the mercy of this next of kin. They can literally have u banned from even having visitation if they so desire. I've seen it happen. It is especially an issue w/in the LGBTQ community and one of the reasons they pushed so hard for gay marriage, so they might have equal rights under the law.

I wear sunglasses all the time in the winter. I had Lasix years ago and find myself light sensitive.

I have super sensitive eyes I always wear them in winter too!

I have to wear them any time of year.

@@guidedbysunshine333 me too 👍🏻

Sunglasses hurt my eyes more than bright light

I am so sorry to read that your husband passed away, sending you loads of love Xxx

@@christinabellamoore Thank you.

@@sharayahmoramarco9941 bless you, I understand grief, it changes you, it changes everything, my heart goes out to you Xx

It was a good one.

I agree!

There's an app called Clue that let's you share your period with another person! And in the app it also explains when you're most fertile. It's a little woke but it's still really useful. My girlfriend and I both use it so we can both see where we are along the cycle and that has improved our relationship like 30% fights wise alone!

@@Shasha-jo5iv wonderful - thank you! I will look into that!

Leaving a comment here too just because I’ve also struggled with what has been told to me and the fear of making a huge mistake (I fear childbirth for a myriad of mental and physical reasons), feeling like I can’t really talk about it with anyone because it’s the blind leading the blind, and how I feel so isolated in it all. I would love a podcast on it!

I knew very little before I was TTC a and even worse, didn’t know HOW little I knew! I highly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It discusses how to keep from getting pregnant (reliably!!), and also how to get pregnant without having sex every day, and even how to time it if you prefer one gender over the other. A highly informative book any young woman should read!

I definitely recommend Clue and Premom with ovulation test kit. The best test kits are clear blue ovulation Test kits in my opinion. I found these Educational RU-vid channel about fertility really helpful. All are run by fertility doctors -The Egg Whisper -Natalie Crawford MD -Fertility TV

Thank God they're not. I think that is better left in private. I like their Channel just as it is. No kissing and slobbering everywhere LOL. You have a great day

@@donnataylor980 affection does not necessarily mean slobbering kisses. It can mean a softness in how you talk to someone, a tenderness in a gesture, a simple hug. I enjoy the vlog too, and it was my observation, not a criticism of both of them 🤔

@@dreamchaseruk you're one hundred percent correct. There's so many mean comments I didn't know what to make of it LOL. I think the way they look at each other says it all. But I get what you're saying. You have a wonderful day! See you around in the comment section.
