You could call a friend who you know is good at self-care and say, can you give me three things?

I might hate all of them, but you seem to have a whole...

you know, range of options.

You lean on community, but do something that's going to feel awkward at first and unenjoyable because people need to know anytime you do something new, it's going to feel awkward and uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

It just means it's new.

Just means you're out of practice.

You are totally out of practice.

Your body's saying, I don't really know this.

And you can say back to your body, of course, you're reacting exactly the way you should.

This is new.

You're right.

Yeah.

But that's so, I mean, I can't even tell you, and this is so many powerless other things for women.

I think about so many of the 20 year olds, 32, I'd seen my private practice and they'd start telling me often about the guys they started dating.

Many of who sounded...

really unimpressive, frankly.

Okay.

And I'd be like, you're this like amazing woman.

Okay.

And they talk and they talk and okay.
