Fi (Fiona)

heard of this in my life crazy i do good apparently like three percent of women get them so i'm obviously blessed this is two percent this is very you coded so spot on like so you always have these weird issues so me coded also this whole time i'm like telling my boyfriend i'm like

yeah like there's like something going on i didn't want to be like i'm in the er but he actually texted me that morning and he's like hey like hope you have a great day and i was like could be better i'm in the er because of like my situation he was like what he felt so bad he was like it's all my fault i was like this was a group effort so i will take half the blame but

So finally the woman, she doesn't even make me sit in the waiting room.

She rushes me back to a bed.

They were all so sweet.

Everyone was so nice there.

But also like I'm sitting there and they're like, so what's the problem?

And I'm like.

my vagina is swollen and I can't walk and it hurts so bad and I can't even pee and I can't, like, do anything.

And it was this male doctor and I was like, ugh, God.

Like, this is just, like, so... It's so intimate and, like, ugh.

Like, at least when you're, like, giving birth or at the gyno, you know, like... This guy's seen a million vaginas.

Yeah, like, but...

he was super nice he's like okay like we have a private gynecological room we can put you in okay so they put me in this room but like i'm literally it's like a room probably this big i'm just like laying in there by myself with like this little robe on for like an hour probably he comes and checks it out and he's like that's infected like you have a bad infection i'm like

Yes.

And he's like, and that's why it is so painful.

And even the nurse that was with me, she was like this.

I've heard people say this is worse than childbirth, like having these things go on.

So, yeah, they.

Put some, like, numbing ointment on me.

And then, oh, my God, you guys.

I literally was, like, crying, screaming.

Did they give you, like, sedatives?

No, they didn't give me anything like that.

They literally put, like, a gel, like, one on.

And then they did numbing shots.

Damn.

Right into it.

And when I tell you guys, like, imagine, like, Novocaine getting, like, your teeth done.

Yeah.

But, like, on steroids and into your vagina.

No, no, no.

Into your infected vagina.

No.

It was...

The worst pain I've ever felt in my life.

And I was literally holding this, bless her heart, this nurse and this doctor, man, I was holding her hand, like, squeezing, crying, crying, crying.

Also, I'm in the back room just, like, crying, like, sobbing.

Because I was embarrassed and I was in pain.

Yeah.

And, oh, my God, like, TMI.

Like, my legs are, like, butterflied open and they're shaking, like, uncontrollably.

And the guy kept having to, like, hold them.

Because I was, like, I think I was, like, having a panic attack.

Having a panic attack.

Yeah.

Slash.

in so much pain yeah um damn i feel like they should put an iv in my fucking self too i'm like so they numb me that helped immensely and then he just sliced him open and drained them and yeah that was not both of them both of them what comes out we don't want to know i don't even he was like don't look down here you do not want to see what's coming out

stop stop stop stop stop stop and he went through three packs of gauze and he kept telling the nurse he needed more gauze it's giving the pit like how's our vagina girl in room seven literally it was awful um but yeah but so they do all this right the minute they're done it was like i stood up really and it was like nothing had ever happened like it was like immediate relief

I took, so he gave me another antibiotic, told me to finish the antibiotics that she gave me, start these new ones like three times for 10 days and gave me a really strong, he didn't give me like pain pills, but he gave me like a strong ibuprofen to take.

So yeah, I started taking all that and they gave me a little shot in my arm, like a pain shot too, or like some kind of steroid shot or something to help with like the inflammation.

Oh, so then my mom, by the way, Kathy's like freaking out because I'm going through all this.

She's like, I'm booking a flight.

I'm coming.

So Kathy gets in the next day to like take care of me.

Yeah.

It swells up again.

No, no, no.

It came.

It did not.

He did not get everything.

So it got worse again and it was so painful.

And then the other side was like really, really painful.

this is like my worst so then i had to go back to the gyno like not three days late no not to the er i almost went back to the er and then i was like f it i'm going to go so finally got an appointment went back to the gyno saw my original gyno told her i was in the er she went in numbed it again she did not numb it nearly as much as the er did and i felt everything and it was awful

god and meanwhile my little cute guy i know is like this little cute family friendly like it's dead quiet like the little lobby there's like little kids playing and stuff and i'm in there like screaming the f word because this woman is slicing open my already sliced coochie oh no yeah my mom thank god my mom was there but like i was also like i was in so much pain i was like laughing like i was like screaming and laughing because that's so you coded you always do that in the cold plunge yeah yeah i laugh yeah when i'm like in pain and uncomfortable i laugh

so yeah but she did that cleared everything up everything yeah now we're good to go what does like are you good down there i'm fine yeah thank god thank god did they say like don't have sex for like a month or something they didn't say anything like that but they were just kind of like give it some time yeah which luckily like like don't go in any hot tubs or yeah no no no i'm like well i'm supposed to still do like hot baths

but i'm not supposed to like yeah like i haven't gone to the pool or like anything like that oh my god not to get like so graphic but like so if these things keep coming back they have all these other procedures they can do they can put a catheter in it what they put a little balloon where the cyst was and then a catheter out of it so it can continue draining and apparently it's really painful and i was like i do not want a catheter down there so luckily they were like you don't need to do that this

time like maybe if it returns or some people get them entirely removed which like if i if they keep the glands yeah you can get them removed but i know i immediately was like does that like how does that work like are you never gonna be wet ever again she was like there's other things like the actual like inside of you has has glands and you don't ever want to use lube again obviously well i will be using a water-based lube now i feel like

you shouldn't use i mean i probably won't but like i well now i'm like all effed up though because i'm like scared to like i'm scared to have sex ever again i will say but it's okay i'm sure i feel like you don't do well with any products like sunscreen i'm so sensitive to stuff i it really could have been such a combination of things but i do not wish that upon anyone and i'm telling you again i know childbirth is probably like it's awful but like after that i'm like bring it on yeah bring it on because that was

i was like i will never take going on a walk with my dog for granted ever again i'm curious how many girls will respond and say they've had it yeah i think they're more this is the thing i actually think they're more common than like two percent but i think people are embarrassed about them i think about it or like i've seen girls be like oh yeah i get them all the time i just like let it pop itself and i'm like the fuck but also like they can come and not get infected yeah for whatever reason mine got infected so probably the product's

i don't know but i i do not wish that upon anyone it was really awful yeah well but i'm good now she's she's situated she is situated and sewn together no i asked the doctor i was like are you gonna like sew things up and he was like he was like that area he literally was like it's a mucous membranes like or he was like mucousy areas heal very quickly which makes sense like i mean when you push a baby out it's like you're

Yeah, it's really miraculous what she can do.

Okay, well, thanks for sharing.

Don't use coconut-based lube.

Yeah, my birthday.

You're like... Also, I tried to do...

akatar i cannot believe you didn't make it through i got through the first one i was talking with a friend about this another girl that read the first one she was like it was good but like it wasn't like i'm sorry anyone that thinks that's spicy you didn't wait you didn't wait you didn't wait other books are spicy yes i just feel like it was so hyped up about like how like sexy it was and i was like by the end it's nasty

I'm very confused by them all.

Okay.

There's like all, there's like, okay, there's Akatar.

Akatar.

There's Fourth Wing.

Then Akatar.

I mean, I like you're a big Harry Potter, Harry Potter, like Twilight.

That was my shit.

I did love Twilight.

I wish I read more.

Of course.

What else would I be called?

I am still taking it.

Do you take Ozempic or something else?

I take semaglutide.

A compounded semaglutide.

Okay.

I think it's B12 and... Do you still take it every week?

No.

So I was going to say, so I've lowered my dose.

I now do half the dose that I was doing and I've been doing it every two weeks and it's like awesome.

Like I honestly have no side effects anymore.

Yeah.

And it's just enough that I, I feel like it still helps with my binging and stuff.

Yeah.

But I will say there was, and I'm sure a lot of people that, you know, go on it can, can say similarly.

Like when I was in the thick of being on it and I was on like the highest dose, like I

I was not eating as much as I should have been.

I was trying, but, like, it is hard.

Like, you have to force yourself to eat.

Like, I definitely got to a point, like, it was kind of in the thick of when I was losing most of the weight.

Also, I was post-breakup.

Like, I was going through a lot.

So I think it was a lot, like, a lot of things combined during that time.

It was kind of like end of summer, fall last year.

And I will say, like, I lost a lot of hair.

Yeah.

It's funny.

I'm like, I have all these baby hairs now.

And at first I thought it was breakage, but I think it's a new hair.

Yeah.

But I lost like I was showering and losing clumps of hair.

Terrifying.

Was not eating enough.

And yeah, like I definitely I got to a point where I couldn't cycle anymore because I literally like it was exhausting.

Like I hadn't I hardly had enough energy to like walk anymore.

So don't do that.

I think there are healthier ways to go about it.

And like now, like I'm on a much smaller dose and I only do it every other week and I can work out normally.

I, you know, I eat very normally now.

I can eat pretty much anything I want basically, but like I can...

not overeat it would be interesting to see how it is if i did just go cold turkey and go off of it and see if tendencies come back but i also feel like i'm sure my stomach has shrunk yeah since before so like i will eat less either way because my stomach is not as big as it was to eat more um but also when you have like a binge eating disorder and stuff and again i'm obviously not a professional but a lot of it's like the pattern and the cycle yeah and it's

I feel like now it's been a year that I've been on this.

Like I've broken that cycle.

And so I don't have the thought pattern that I used to have about like, oh, if I get a pint of ice cream, I need to eat it all so that I don't eat it tomorrow when it's Monday and I'm starting my new diet.

Like my brain doesn't think that way anymore because there's no more like restrict, restrict or binge.

It's just kind of like I let myself have it if I want it.

Like the other day I bought a...

trader joe's oh my god these cookie ice cream sandwiches from trader joe's you guys if you have had them you know that what i'm talking about and like i i remember i got those when i lived with my ex and him and i would like crush the box and there were four of them we'd eat them two nights back to back because like they were in the house and i wanted to eat them i've had like a pack in my fridge for like a weeks and

Haven't had one.

I had one yesterday and I ate half of it and I put the half down and I forgot about it.

And like it melted.

What?

Like never in a million years would I have done that.

But it's like I finally can just have like a serving.

Yeah.

And feel good.

like fulfilled which is like a lot of freedom in that yeah because you're not like afraid of going to restaurants so like it adds freedom yeah which i do think you know glp-1s and people leaning on these things like i do think people that have dealt with binging tendencies and eating disorder tendencies like i think this is so

It gives you like a reset.

Yeah.

That I always felt like was you get really hard on yourself because you think it's you not having self-control or that you're like weak and you give in to stuff and it like really fucks with your mindset.

And especially if you are, you know,

you know a bit overweight and you like really want to you know get healthier and lose some weight but you just are in this awful pattern that like you literally feel like you cannot break it's an addiction like i had a food addiction for sure to some degree yeah just like other people have addiction to substances like it is an addiction um and i think it's such a good tool for people dealing with that so again you can go overboard i think i did for a little bit but

Yeah.

Now I just like I would say like I'm on a maintenance dose and I take it just enough to like still feel like I don't binge.

Yeah.

But I can eat.

Oh, wow.

on and other experts that talk about all the other awesome effects from it um but yeah i mean i think the reason they do the once a week is like for people actively trying to lose weight but like if you're taking a high dose once a week like you're not eating no you're not it is so strong that shit is so strong it changes people's personalities like greg was telling me this like he was working with someone who has lost like 30 or 40 pounds on it and he was like her whole personality changed

Kind of, yeah.

You know?

Like, honestly, I should probably do more research about it.

Because, like, I take it, obviously.

But it is such an interesting drug to me that has a physical effect.

But, like, the physical effect really comes from the mental.

Like, I think it does something with your pituitary gland or something.

yeah like we all know we all know we all know but yeah i think i think it's a great tool and i i appreciate when people talk about it like that's why i've been so open to talk about it because yeah i think it's awesome i think people are curious yeah i think it's important i've definitely had a

And, you know, obviously it's a medication.

Like you should speak to a doctor.

It's not for everyone.

Some people do have bad side effects from it, just like any medication could.

But I don't know.

I love it.

Period.

Ride or die.

What is it?

It's this one creator whose whole kind of thing is like, what I eat in a day to stay skinny and my day before my job to stay thin.

Is it like toxic stuff?

I don't love it.

Like when I see... I got... On my For You page the other day, I got served a girl doing like a hot Pilates class and she's like drenched in sweat.

It was some voiceover being like, yeah, like I want to be skinny, like blah, blah, blah.

And I was like...

not interested.

Like, I don't, I don't love that.

Like, I don't need that like pushed in my face.

And I don't, as someone who has gone through, oh my gosh, I was on the Tumblr, like eating disorder.

Yeah.

Like end for one minute where I'm like looking at these girls that are like, obviously very sick and like being like, I want to look like that too.

Also, I've been on the other end where I, I think, you know, when I was like at my heaviest, I was like,

The self-love, my body's beautiful as it is.

I don't need to lose a single pound.

Like I've been all over the place.

At the end of the day, I just think it's like what makes you feel the best.

And I'm not saying thin is better or thin makes you feel the best, but I just know like-

it's, it's to each person, you know what I mean?

But I don't know.

I don't love that kind of content.

I do think like young girls that see it, that agree that, you know, their frontal lobes have not developed yet and they see something like that and they're like, I want to look like that.

So I'm going to eat 12 almonds for a meal.

Like that's not, here's my take.

But I feel like you never made it.

You never did it from a point of like, I was unhappy because I was overweight.

It wasn't about that.

Like there was way more into it.

You know what I mean?

I was like, I want to look like I work out.

And you talking about like healthier options and alternatives to eat because you were like, because when I was eating this, that was full of sugar.

It was making my mood worse.

swing and i felt awful like you know mentally and yeah i always think it's interesting like i feel like we've talked about this before when you see i don't say girl but like when you see someone going through their like wellness journey yeah and you've been where they have been already like you're not to say you're further on the journey but like seeing someone that's like just getting started in the gym and i'm like oh girl like yeah

You're going to go through the like... It's cute.

It is, but like you're going to go through like the, I have my shaker bottle with my protein.

Like it's just so funny to see.

Gallon of water.

And then it's like, maybe get a little too drastic.

And you're like, oh, oh, now you're on the stair stepper for 45 minutes a day and you're weightlifting.

Okay.

And they're like, I feel amazing.

And then there's always like the burnout, the burnout and the swing back.

And they're like, Oh my God, I was like killing.

Like, I know I said I was so healthy and felt great, but I actually was killing myself.

And now I've 180, like just the journey of everyone is so interesting.

And it's so, you know, like.

For each person, it's gonna be so different.

You know?

Marie got canceled for eating a raw burger.

It was like what you, it was like her what I eat in a day with her lettuce bun burger.

And she bites into it and she's just like enjoying it.

And it's like, you can see the burger and it's like literally like raw meat.

Aw.

I'm really liking it.

I was actually... I was, like, thinking about how I want to talk about it today.

You know, when I first got into it, it was so intimidating.

Just because it's obviously a very, like... You know, there are so many real estate agents, like... And...

I don't know, it's just a totally new field and it's intimidating, just like everything you have to learn.

But from what I've gathered, I mean, I joined an incredible team.

I really love my team.

We just went on a golf outing the other day and it was so much fun.

It looked so cute.

They're all just so kind and cool and...

Not to hype up my own team, but, like, I just really appreciate... Michael's, like, our team lead.

It's his... And we actually now are the Riser team, which is Michael Riser.

I just love that he finds really kind of, like, cool, unique people.

Like, no one is cookie cutter on the team.

Like, everyone's really interesting and, like, has cool passions outside of, you know, just, you know, work.

And I just think it's really cool.

But I've been loving it.

It's been...

I finally feel like I'm like getting in the swing of things.

I have some tours later today.

I've been helping a lot of people who are relocating to Austin.

I've been helping a couple like Bloom employees who are moving here.

Yeah, so I kind of chatted with Bloom HR and Greg and I was like...

Send them my way.

So I've been helping a couple, which has been great.

But I did want to add, like, I feel like when I first said I wanted to get into it, like, you and everyone was like, you're going to be so good at that.

Like, you're so nice and love people.

But, like, truly, I didn't realize how much I would really enjoy, like, getting to know my clients and, like, getting close with them and, like, learning about them.

And, you know, whether it's helping them find a lease or, like, an actual home to buy, like, it is such a personal and intimate experience.

thing and like I don't name any names like some clients that I've been helping who are relocating from Houston they're the sweetest like young couple he just graduated law school he got a job at a firm here so they're moving to Austin she's pregnant and so like I'm helping them find a house that can have a nursery and have a room for an office for him and like it's like it like makes me so happy and it is very fulfilling for me in that way because I know I'm like genuinely helping people find something they need and

And like when I close the deal for them and like get them the place that they really wanted over like, you know, I'm talking to an agent.

An agent actually was just calling me while I was sitting here and I need to call her back after this.

I'm hoping she has good news for me.

But like when they get the place that they wanted, like over someone else's being, like it just makes me like I'm so proud and I've learned a lot.

And it's a really cool field.

So cool.

It is a little...

Scary right now.

The market is a little funny right now.

I think people are definitely just with, like, everything going on in the world and politics and everything happening, people are a little scared to, like, make such a commitment.

But, you know, I think if you work with the right agent and the right team and...

you do it for the right reasons and you won't regret it.

And it's kind of cool that you can do it anywhere.

I mean, I know you have to get a license in different states, but pretty cool.

Yeah.

I honestly, that is a huge, like that was a big part to me.

You know, I'm not, I loved working with Mari, but like we were hands on here in the office every day because I was like, you know, running a podcast and there was like so much to do hands on.

So it is really nice to have a little more freedom and like be able to,

kind of like schedule my day the way i need to um and i do think me being type a and like organized and stuff has been so helpful yeah because like i'm over here scheduling you know 10 home tours in one afternoon and i have to reach out to every agent ask them what time i'm like playing tetris while also like checking availability if there's a tenant living there or making sure it makes sense on a map so i'm not taking my clients in circles and circles you know what i mean so yeah but like i love

because that's very me like I like a task and I like like yeah I love logistics like I really do unless they involve European travel that I fucking hate it

God bless Brooke.

So I want to leave a date earlier.

Mari's like, my Gemini ass.

You're so funny.

Yeah.

When I was working with Mari, you guys, they were going to like the south of France or somewhere.

Yeah.

And for whatever reason, I just could not get my mind wrapped around the geography of the area.

And one day I just looked at you and I was like, you don't know what's going on.

And I was like, I'm going to be so for real.

I have no idea.

I couldn't pronounce anything.

They were like Saint-Tropez to Antibes.

And then I was like, and then you're going to take a boat.

You're like, no, Fiona, there's no boat.

There's no water in between those.

I was like, I don't know what's happening.

It's okay.

That was not my thing.

It's fine.

Yeah.

Not my thing.

Everything in French is a little confusing.

Yeah.

Well, I feel like we've reached our close.

Oh, wait.

I want to add one thing that I saw.

What?

The liver king getting arrested.

Oh, guys.

Apparently.

That was crazy.

We were so scared.

So scared.

Because he was threatening Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan or something.

T.

tea um did joe rogan call the police apparently i don't know i don't know the whole joe rogan thing i just saw like brian johnson was arrested in austin i mean i feel like he's losing threatening something and i guys i thought i saw joe rogan the other day but apparently it wasn't joe rogan so i saw someone driving a really nice lamborghini with a rogan license plate i just feel like that's kind of you're not joe rogan and you're doing that weird you're like a huge fan of it that's like giving

i feel like oh my god look at his mugshot wow he looks sad i would not want to be in a cell with liver king i'll tell you that no actually he is he was a very nice man he was nice him and his wife liver he's probably just doing push-ups they were lovely yeah yeah he's probably giving i think maybe and i don't want to like trash but i think he's like lost a little fame and it is not as popping as he used to be and he's like trying to do it yeah get some get some fame you know i don't know but we love you liver yeah we love you liver king
