Leggy and Daniel revisit the topic of breakups in this week’s episode of 2 LADS, but first they check in with Daniel at an 8 while working on location in South Africa and Leggy at a 7.5 and discussing some recent activity on social media and concluding that the podcast won't be for everybody. Then the 2 LADS get back into breakups—a conversation they started earlier in the season—and how they believe you can use the pain of breakups to build yourself up stronger. They also discuss going into relationships consciously trusting that you’ll be ok even if it doesn’t work out, being so dialed you don't want a relationship and Daniel’s journey to getting to know his body better.

The 2 LADS podcast tackles big topics with brutal honesty and vulnerability; replacing shame and guilt with truth and love in the quest for emotional and spiritual growth. These conversations are unflinching, uncomfortable, funny... and ongoing.

JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:

(01:50) - The check in - “It's not going to be for everybody, this. And you get to decide whether you enjoy it or you don't, and we're down for it all.”

(14:20) - Expecting every need from one person - “These are the building blocks of you being a fucking man in the world or being a functioning adult. You've got all these basics covered so that you can actually enter into a relationship with someone else on a higher level.”

(17:25) - Breakups can build you back up - “When you're in it, it feels like hell and it will last forever, but there's building blocks that get built up over time and they reprogram your brain to feel much more supported.”

(26:16) - Picking and choosing - “It's like five of your girlfriend are on this carousel, and one of them, you love, right? And you're like, ‘I like that one, that one, but only be that. I don't like any of this other stuff. I want you to change all this other stuff.”

(29:15) - Being too dialed for a relationship - “Ultimately, in order to love, you have to risk getting hurt. You can't do it any other way. You have to know that you can be open and accept love, and know that you are going to survive it if that goes away.”

(30:33) - Sit in your feelings - “Your relationship to love and sex is skewed in some way, because it is giving you the endorphins of not feeling your feelings. So if you take it away, then it comes to the forefront of your mind.”

(37:06) - The green light of approval - “Even the act of going into a program, it was about approval, you know, because in some way I did it to prove it to somebody.”
