Verbal Hug 19

Episode: Falconveil: The Light of Ignatious

[43:07]

Aaron: "A verbal hug this week-"

Jeff: "Not every day is going to be an A-Game Day."

Aaron: "Mmmm..."

Jeff: "And that's okay." You don't have to be 'on' all the time. Sometimes just showing up is enough, you know what I mean?"

Aaron: "Its true! I mean, it goes a lot to say with like, don't- setting expectations for yourself are okay, but, you know, understanding that your priorities like your happiness and your health are of the utmost importance rather than being-

Jeff: "Yeah!"

Aaron: "-performative and making other people happy first."

Jeff: "You come first."

Aaron: "Yeah. If you can't love yourself, how if the hell are you gonna love somebody else?"

Jeff: "You know, and sometimes things happen and maybe you set a goal and you don't make it. That happens sometimes. And I think its - its okay. You know, like, I think its more- don't dwell on the things that go wrong just know that its going to be okay."

Aaron: "Yeah - sometimes you have to fail to succeed and I genuinely mean that. Like, Oprah wouldn't be Oprah unless she was fired at twenty-something as a reporter, you know?"

Jeff: "Mhmm."

Aaron: "And that's something I've really been thinking about lately as we continue to chop away at this podcast game."
