2. Defining Peak Adulthood

Timestamps: 05:21–10:00

  • Morgan: “It just feels like two completely different worlds.”
• Intentionally Slowing Down:
  • Amy plans to “pause, do puzzles, look at birds…to be intentional with my time because I do feel like stuff like that slows it down.” (43:18)
  • Morgan describes consciously moving slower after watching a “sloth” video; Amy discusses the link between frantic routines and nervous system regulation.

[Amy]

The best bits of the week with Morgan, Part 1 Behind the Scenes with a member of the show.

[Morgan]

It's an interesting best bits this weekend because Amy's joining me.

[Amy]

Hey, Amy. Hi, Morgan. Snow snob. Snow apocalypse, were they calling it?

[Morgan]

The Snowmageddon is where we're at.

[Amy]

So Snowmageddon, it's caused some chaos in.

[Morgan]

All of our Lives. So we are recording currently virtually over zoom. Just trying to fit things and schedules. So just know that we're coming from both of our homes at this moment. Are you feeling more prepared for this weekend? Because by the time this airs and people are listening to it, we're going to have it here, whatever is hitting us.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm prepared. I think I have everything. Chargers to charge your phone. I think it's already charged enough to charge your phone 10 times without needing electricity.

[Morgan]

Okay. Is this like one of those portable chargers that are really, you know, hold the charge for a long time?

[Amy]

Yes, but it's, like, big. This isn't one you would, like, take with you to an event and keep in your purse.

[Morgan]

Oh, you have, like, the big mama.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, it'll charge your phone 10. 10 full charges. Why.

[Morgan]

Why did you. Why do you have one of those?

[Amy]

I got it for this to be prepared.

[Morgan]

You buy it on Amazon?

[Amy]

No, just at the store.

[Morgan]

It is funny to watch, like, the. The grocery shopping that I've done. The panic buying is kind of crazy. And honestly, when I wasn't panicked because I was like, I know what I'm getting. I need this recipe. You know, no big deal. But then you see everybody else panicking, and it almost, like, makes you want to panic more because you feel like maybe I'm not panicking enough.

[Amy]

Uh, yeah, I feel pretty good. I. I got a checklist, and I feel pretty good. So I'm not going to let other people's panic panic me more. I think I'm. I think I have plenty. At least let's hope. I mean, and it's going to be, what, three days, if that. That we might be stuck.

[Morgan]

Hopefully. I mean, it depends on these low temperatures and how long they stick around, because I don't know about you, but, like, where I'm at in the neighborhood that I am, the snow trucks aren't going to come over here and take out the neighborhood. So as long as that ice is there and it's not getting melted by the outside, I'm stuck here.

[Amy]

Um, I have four boxes of Thin.

[Morgan]

Mints, so that's all you need.

[Amy]

I feel pretty good about that. I mean, I have other groceries, too, but I'm like, oh, my Girl Scout cookie order arrived just in time.

[Morgan]

I did buy some ingredients so I could, like, test out some baking recipes in case I am stuck at home for a while.

[Amy]

But okay, yes. I keep thinking, like, we're not going to have electricity, so as long as we're stuck with ice. But you have Electricity you'll be able to make.

[Morgan]

Yes, in my mind, that we don't lose electricity. I'm really thinking that, like, that can't happen.

[Amy]

Yeah. So that's why I'm prepared for that with my charger, you know what I mean?

[Morgan]

So I am. I do have my little lantern. So we're there. So all that to say there's just. Everybody's prepping for what feels like doomsday in a way, but it's just Snowmageddon. So, anyways, I want to talk about some peak adulthood moments, because I really feel like. And what age maybe, do you feel like this hit for you, Amy? But I feel like I've kind of hit peak adulthood where I kind of finally am starting to really have a handle on being an adult.

[Amy]

For me, it was probably delayed. I mean, you've been single longer. I got married at 25. My brain was just fully developing at that point, because now we know that's around the age that that happens. And I got divorced at 41, so probably then took a year to become an adjust. So I don't know, 42, 43. I'm about to turn 45. In the last few years, I really had to fully develop because in my marriage, there were so many things I didn't have to do because he did them, and that's just how it was.

[Morgan]

So, okay, so then this is going to be fun to talk about because these are just some kind of fun things that I feel like have really, like, sent me into adulthood recently. One of them is now how I continue to like, really sustain my friendships and my relationships with people is that I have walk friends and I have errand friends, where if we're gonna get to hang out, it's either we're going on a walk because, like, I need to walk the dog, or we're gonna go run errands together. Cause we both need to run errands, and that's the only time that we have. Have you gotten to this point yet with your friends?

[Amy]

Uh, well, I have calendar that have friendships. I feel like this was a big phase in life. A couple of years ago, some girlfriends and I just intentionally started putting something on the calendar quarterly. So it wasn't like, let's try to get together every week or even once a month. Like, we knew once multiple kids get into the mix. So then there's comes a point where pretty much everybody starts to get married, and then everybody starts to have kids, and then everybody has their careers, and then you're like, oh, okay, well, the adult thing here would be to schedule out a quarterly lunch or dinner. And so that felt very peak. Adult.

[Morgan]

Do you guys still do that quarterly? Is it still part of your guys plans?

[Amy]

Yes. And the. We haven't been successful at it every quarter, but the we still have group texts and we still try to make it happen. So while we haven't been successful every quarter, it still happens. That makes sense. Like we're still in communication about it. It's still happening. But our quarters have gotten off because the three months have shifted a little bit. And then we have. But we have grace and patience and understanding, which I think that's also adult friendships is knowing not to take it personally when someone can't get back to you right away or they're not able to come to the thing that's been on the calendar for two months because things come up and life happens and we have that space for each other to know that we have stuff going on in our lives and yeah, because you know, immature friendships, I guess if that's how that we're going to categorize them is adult and then immature is. There is a lot of that tension and pressure and not that you shouldn't prioritize and you can't have your feelings hurt or you can't be disappointed. I guess feelings hurt, I'll take that out of play because your feelings really shouldn't be hurt. If it's a valid reason why your friend cannot make it, that's fair.

[Morgan]

And that is definitely a part of, of adulthood too, which. And that's why we started like randomly. I. If one of us is walking, we're like, hey, if you're available, come join or hey, I gotta go run to the grocery store, do you want to come? And it started becoming like at least a chance for connection instead of. We felt like even we still put things on calendars and we'll plan things out in advance. But it was like, it felt like every time we were getting together we had to have the full catch up of like, okay, what happened to you since I've seen you last? And so we started doing this like errand friend thing where we run errands together because it became more about like integrating into our everyday life. And I don't feel like I was like, oh, I haven't seen you for six months. But I, by the way, like I got engaged, you know what I mean? Like just it felt like such a drastic thing. And so Aaron, friends have become my new normal recently. And it feels like that has really Thrown me into adulthood. And maybe that's still college. Morgan.

[Amy]

No, I like Aaron's friends. I have walk friends, for sure. Um, that definitely is probably my number one way of seeing people. Um, but errands, I might have to try that one. Although I run less errands because of delivery.

[Morgan]

That's fair. That's fair. And I did like it. It definitely had to turn into, like, the things that only you can go and do. And I. I started forced myself a little to shop more in person, so I did have more opportunity for that. But I do still buy a lot on Amazon, which leads me into another peak part of adulthood. You know how there's, like, all these contractions and things that you just never know exist until somebody, like, leads you onto them? Well, that was the case with a garlic presser. So I've been, like, mincing my garlic with a knife and, like, really going hard. And the other day my fiance sister wanted, like, saw us doing this and was like, you need a garlic presser. Your life is going to be changed. And she was not wrong. I bought one, and it has drastically improved my kitchen experience. Did you even know those existed?

[Amy]

I knew they existed, but I don't have one.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. If you, like, bake or cook with garlic, this thing is, like my new, like, it's my new favorite toy in the kitchen. And I want to just put garlic in everything because I can now press garlic with, like, the snap of a finger.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. Well, I'll have to try that. I just like. Yeah. Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. Chop it up real quick with a knife. Yeah. How do you take the. The garlic? Do you know this is my favorite way to remove the. The. This, I call it the coat. The garlic's coat. You slam it down on the, like, the cutting board with your knife on top, and then you hit the knife and.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Amy]

Time to take the coat off.

[Morgan]

You know that that's how I get, like, some anger out sometimes where I just, like, slam the garlic when I do that.

[Amy]

Very satisfying, I will say. And then I just chop, chop, chop. So after you do that, you put it into the presser and just squeeze it out. Okay. You just squeeze.

[Morgan]

And it's like, with one hand, you squeeze and it's done. And there's a lot of recipes, especially now that I've been making that call for 6, 7 cloves of garlic if I'm doubling them. So it just, like now it takes two seconds instead of what was taking me, like, 10 minutes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Do you have any like kitchen items like this, where you're like, why have I not been using them my whole life?

[Amy]

I love my salad chopper bowl. It's like a. A bowl and it's like a pizza cutter. That's what it looks like. And then you just roll it. Because I like chopped salad chopped way more. Like, you just. If you think it's chopped, keep chopping because that's where I want it. And so you're the one who turned.

[Morgan]

Me on this because I have one.

[Amy]

Yeah, I posted about it before. I mean, it's been a minute since I've shared it, but it's one of my favorite things, and I used it the other day.

[Morgan]

Is your salad chopper like the two pizza cutters, not just one?

[Amy]

Is it like the two.

[Morgan]

The. The double.

[Amy]

It's a roller. It's a double and it's a roller.

[Morgan]

Yep.

[Amy]

Because some of them are like a handle. Like a. It just. You have to roll it. It's almost like a half moon and you rock it back and forth. This is a roller, and I feel like that's pretty solid.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You turned me onto this when I first joined the show because I've had this thing for a while and I like. And I love chop salads like you. Anytime I have to eat a salad regularly, I get kind of sad because it's just not the same experience.

[Amy]

Yeah, Chop, chop, chop and chop some more. My son is always like, don't you think you've chopped it enough? And I'm like, no, because you keep chopping, keep going.

[Morgan]

Just get it all mixed in there really good.

[Amy]

Yeah. And I even use the, like the Taylor Farms chopped salad kits. Like it literally says in the bag, chopped kit, and I chop it more.

[Morgan]

It cannot be chopped enough, basically. So you're really. You would really like the garlic presser because it is like completely smashed all.

[Amy]

But I don't do. Yeah, I don't do that much. I'm probably because I'm not doing. I could see her if I was doing six or seven, but I'm doing like one or two cloves, so it's not that crazy to me. And it's definitely cooked like. Do you eat raw garlic ever? No.

[Morgan]

Do you?

[Amy]

Okay. No. But my boyfriend was trying out something for his heart that he read and he started take eating a raw garlic clove every night. And obviously I didn't know he was doing. I'm not with him at night, but the next day, like, there was a Sunday, I met him at church and he walked in with his kids. And I was already there, and they sat down, and I was like, what is that smell? And I was like, golly, what did y' all eat last night? You know? And then I didn't really worry about it and carried on whatever. And then the next day, he had the same smell. And I'm like, what is going on? And then I didn't see him for a few days, and I saw him again, and this is the same smell. And I said, what are you doing? And he's. He said. I said, have you changed? What have you changed? Like, you never have ever smelled. So, like, what's. What if. What are you doing differently? I need to know. Like, garlic, onions, what is it? And he said, oh, I've been eating one raw garlic clove before bed every night. And I was like, well, that has got to stop right now. Last night was your last clove. And he was like, no, I've been doing it for this. That's going on with me. Da, da, da. So I immediately start Googling and I send him all this literature on how that's. There's no guarantee that the gar. The one garlic clove is going to do anything. And I said, not only that, if you're going to do it, like, let's just say you just have to. You need to chase it with yogurt. Or it's either yogurt, a raw apple, you know, because some people bake their apples, raw apple or fresh mint, after you eat the garlic clove. I was like, I get it. If you want to keep trying for your health and whatever's going on with your heart, keep doing that. But then I need the yogurt, the apple, and the mint. Like, all three. Just go ahead and chase it with all three, because it's what happens. I watched this whole YouTube video on garlic, and what's happening is you think it's the. It's coming out of, like, your breath, and it's not.

[Morgan]

Well, I would assume he was brushing his teeth, so, like, hopefully that would take care of that.

[Amy]

But it. The garlic, once it. Something gets in your lungs and then in your skin and it's, like, coming out of you. It's just.

[Morgan]

Oh, like, out of your pores.

[Amy]

Like, your pores. Yes, out of you. And it's the. The YouTube video broke down the various chemical compounds of, like, what's happening? I cannot regurgitate it. I don't know. They gave the very scientific reason of. Of all the different ways the garlic is forming into different types of gases, like, throughout you and then coming out, and I was like this. I sent him the YouTube video and I was like, this is what is happening. And you trust me, if I'm smelling it, other people are.

[Morgan]

And.

[Amy]

And like, I knew. I know the very first. I know the very first time I smelled it was that Sunday morning at church when they walked in. I instantly was like, what?

[Morgan]

Okay, but good on you for, like, bringing it up and saying something, because a lot of people wouldn't. You know what I mean? Like, they would just try and, like, skate around it, maybe try and, like, figure out things. Good on you for addressing it head on and saying, no, we're gonna. We're gonna take care of this.

[Amy]

Oh, well, it was just so drastically different than, like, I hadn't ever. I knew he must be doing something very different. And he was an entire garlic clove raw at night, just like a little throwing it back. And I'm like, well, now that is oozing out of you. So we're going to stop the garlic. He stopped it. And the smell is gone.

[Morgan]

I'm really happy for you that, you know, you no longer have a garlic smelling boyfriend.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Morgan]

Very sorry for him, but he tried. He tried something new. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.

[Smokey Bear PSA Voice]

Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? On my Mike De La Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures we're taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself in the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you.

[Spencer Graves]

Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping Men unpack shame, anxiety and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys are toxic, they're immature or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath.

[John Paulk]

I'm John Palk. For years I was the poster boy of the conversion therapy movement. The ex gay who American, married an ex lesbian and traveled the world telling my story of how I changed my sexuality from gay to straight. Once upon a time I was on 60 Minutes, Oprah, the front cover of Newsweek, and you might have heard my story, but you've never heard the real story. So join me as I peel back the layers and expose what happened to me in the midst of conversion therapy to shine a light on what the X Game movement does to people and the pain it continues to cause.

[Spencer Graves]

I lost 150 pounds because if I couldn't control my sexuality, I was going to control my weight.

[Amy]

It sounded like, and this is the word I used, occult.

[John Paulk]

And as I look too at the harm I did from within, listen to atonement, the John Paul story on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan]

All right, so I don't know if you've seen in the paparazzi news lately, but Adam Sandler was out in public again. He was at a restaurant grabbing some quick food and he was in his typical uniform, which if you think of Adam Sandler and seeing like spotted out in public, what do you what comes to mind?

[Amy]

Oh, just like some sort of a T shirt or hoodie with like basketball shorts and sneakers or something.

[Morgan]

Exactly. With long Socks. It's typically like, he has, like, ankle or long socks on. Spot on. And so this is like what I call Adam Sandler uniform. And we. You see it online, people talk about, like, this is my Adam Sandler uniform. And I was thinking about this too in, like, my. My little adulthood lifestyle now. What is your Adam Sandler uniform?

[Amy]

Well, I have it on right now. I mean, mine's either a sweat set, you know, like a hoodie and sweatpants, or leggings and a, you know, like yoga pants or some sort of leggings with a top and sneakers. It's either one of those.

[Morgan]

So if you were out and you were getting paparazzi often, you'd be caught probably wearing this similar outfit all the time.

[Amy]

Yeah, right now, because it's cold for sure. My winter. Like, if you were to catch me, I AM in this 80% of the time if I'm not, like, at work, so maybe even 90. But it's going to be like, sweatpants and a hoodie with a long coat and sneakers. And that's what I'm like. I just walked the dog. And I'm gonna be. If I go do anything, I've got to go to a basketball game in a little bit. And I'll wear the exact. I'll wear that. Like, I just wear. I put it on when I get home from work, no matter what I do, whether I'm walking the dog or. But the coat makes it a little more elevated, if that makes sense, because it's like a long brown coat. Do you know what I mean? It just takes it, and then the hood pops out of the back. So that's nice. And you can either do it with leggings or sweatpants, but either works. What's yours?

[Morgan]

Okay, we have a similar uniform, but my. I have these pair, which I ended up buying them in three colors that I was so obsessed. But do you know the brand Z Supply?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Okay, so they have this, like, kind of velvet soft, like, set where they're like these cute, comfy pants and then these different variations of tops. But their pants are, like, all I wear now. So immediately when I get home, I'll put them on. I had to finally wash them because I rotate all three of them all the time. And then I'll wear, like, a crew neck with them. And much like you, when I go out in public, I'll throw on a long jacket and I'll have my sneakers on. And that's my, like, elevated sweatsuit look when I'm out. But I thought about this because there has been one too many times where I am caught wearing the same outfit, often in public. If somebody were to see me, I don't know that they would have thought I left my house or ever changed. And that's because of this uniform that I've created.

[Amy]

So is it your Z Supply, or is it something else?

[Morgan]

No, it's the Z. Z supply, but thankfully, I just have different colors. But I really like the. Like, there's a maroon pair that I wear often, and they're just really comfy. And I also like, when it's cold out, I'll put really fuzzy socks. You got me a pair of fuzzy socks over Christmas that I love, and I'll wear those sometimes over leggings if it's like, really? And they. I should not be out in public wearing these things, but I do. And I just feel like Adam Sandler is all of us.

[Amy]

Well, I'm impressed you are wearing sneakers with those socks, because those are the barefoot dreams. Like, I picture you just wearing them around the house. They're pretty thick. Oh, I do.

[Morgan]

But my feet get so cold. I am. Thanks to my mom, I have inherited her, like, lizard jeans, where it has to be so hot in the house. And I am like. It's like I. I'm in a terrarium, and I get so cold so easily that when I go outside, like, everything has to be completely bundled, or I. I feel like I'm in Antarctica and it could be, like, 40 degrees outside.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. I get. Well, I don't keep my house that, like. What do you have it set to?

[Morgan]

Oh, I think currently right now, it balances between 73 and 75.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. See, I do 69.

[Morgan]

Oh, no. If I did even, like, the times where, like, my fiance will get really hot, and I'm like, yeah, okay, turn it down. I'll. I'll bundle up. And I. I feel like I am literally in a freezer. Like, just sitting there in a freezer. I'm so cold.

[Amy]

Wow. That's crazy.

[Morgan]

I know. And it's. And it's a bummer. But, yeah, the fuzzy socks really helped for me in public. But this is why the. If you see me out, just know that. That. That I've accepted my. My fate.

[Amy]

I think everybody has their uniform like that, though, right?

[Morgan]

I think so, too. That's why we call it the Adam Sandler uniform.

[Amy]

Yeah. I just own it.

[Morgan]

It's a thing.

[Amy]

I feel like this every time, which I'm thinking if. If I make it to this basketball game, I would say most every basketball game I show up. There was a game recently, I can't remember where I talked about this, if it was on the Bobby Bones show or my podcast, I can't really remember. But I showed up, I decided to get dressed for it. And this is how much I'm in my uniform. I wore like, you know, this brown denim flare jeans that are high waisted and I put on boots and like a denim top. And I showed up to the game and my boyfriend was like, oh, hey, look at you. Like, he was acting like I, I mean, it wasn't that much extra effort, but it's like I just took the time to get ready and put on real clothes to go do something. And you thought I was totally dressed up, like ready to go out on the town, like have a date. Like, he was shocked. I walked in, he's like, where are you going? I was like, just to hear. But he like, couldn't believe it because I just normally show up in my uniform.

[Morgan]

I was gonna say, do you normally see him most of the time in your uniform? Unless it's like a specific. You guys are planned a date night because of just how much shuffling there is between both of your schedules.

[Amy]

My uniform, he sees me more in my uniform than anything. Like I can't wait to be in my uniform. But he, he will wear. He has different versions of himself. Like he has, I call work Alex. Then there's also like church Alex, which is like he always wears a sports coat, which I did not grow up dressing up for church. And people didn't wear sports coats at my church. And even the church that I've gone to as an adult here for a long time, it's when I'm going to church with him, I'm visiting his church, and it's sports coats, which is weird for me. I definitely had to up my game a little bit. When I'm getting ready, I'm like, so.

[Morgan]

What is your, what would you have to wear to that situation? Or is it like dresses or I.

[Amy]

Wear a dress or slacks, you know.

[Morgan]

So no jeans situation?

[Amy]

No. And see, I have always gone to a church where I could wear jeans. My kids can wear, you know, like Adidas pants and sneakers. Like, it doesn't matter. And, and I guess Stashira hasn't gone, but Stevenson's gone to church at his church. And, and like, I had to. I'm like, you need to put on a button down polo. And I got him some like new slacks because it's just, it's Just a. Everyone there. It's not stuffy or anything like that. It's very welcoming. It's just a more traditional. I don't even know what you call it because I didn't grow up going to it. I don't know how to explain it. It's like my. The first time in my life where I've been like, okay, this is interesting to me. But they def. It's just church. You get dressed up. And I think I finally understand what my friend meant. She visited my church with me a long time ago, and I guess she grew up maybe going to a church, like, Alex's more traditional and where you have to get dressed up. And I always loved a vibe of my church. Really laid back, whatever. And she was like, I think I'm just looking for something a little more traditional. And I remember thinking, like, well, that's weird.

[Morgan]

But.

[Amy]

But now I get it. Like, if she grew up this way, I can see how it might be very different. And there is a service. Apparently they offer a service that is a little more casual, that's at a different time in a different section of the. Like a different building or a different room. Wow.

[Morgan]

I did not realize that this was. I. I definitely. When I grew up going to a church, it was. We wore jeans and stuff. So I don't know the dress up church either.

[Amy]

It's a whole thing. And so that's. I say we've got, you know, Church Alex, which I find very attractive. I like him in a sports coat. We've got work Alex, which it's not. He knows it's not my favorite look. He wears a lot of, like, it just is a little on the nerdier side, you know? And then there's casual or hike. I call him Hiking Alex because the first time I ever saw this look was when we were going on a hike. But you could. It could be Workout Alex. Casual uniform Alex. And that's his hiking look. Like, that might be my favorite Hiking Alex favorite.

[Morgan]

Why is it your favorite? Is it because he's also comfortable and you can also be comfortable?

[Amy]

Or like, I just think he looks hot as workout. Workout Alex is. I don't know, it's like sweatpants and a hoodie and sneakers. I just think it's a vibe. He wears his hat backwards. It's cute. I like it.

[Morgan]

Much more athletic vibes than the nerdy vibes.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, I need.

[Morgan]

He need.

[Amy]

And I'm not talking about behind his back at all. Because he knows all.

[Morgan]

He knows these things.

[Amy]

It's like Church Alex and hiking Alex. Looking good.

[Morgan]

Those are, like, two ends of the spectrum.

[Amy]

And then work Alex, he's like, well, help me figure out some work clothes. I'm like, well, I don't really care that much. You're just going to work. Like, I don't even.

[Morgan]

You're like, I don't see you.

[Amy]

There's just, like, a bunch of golf shirts, like, tucked in, you know, and. And, oh, he was at. He had. He plays golf at a specific place, but that's where he gets a lot of his golf shirts. And he's like, oh, I'm thinking about getting this other shirt. And I was like, no, no, no, no. The last thing you. We don't need any. No, I think we're good. I don't know. I don't know why you would think you need another golf shirt, because there's no way you need another golf shirt. And he's like, oh, and you guessed. Good point. I'm like, yeah, let's get another hoodie. Let's get another hoodie. These are hot.

[Morgan]

That's what we call the girlfriend glow up. Where they start to do better with the girlfriend in the picture. The. It's the girlfriend glow up.

[Amy]

Yeah, the girlfriend glow up. So I'm not so much worried about work Alex yet, but I wish he could wear hoodies. I was like, well, if you could wear hoodies and jeans to work, you'd be good. He was like, no, no, no, I can't. He has to wear, like, khakis and I guess a golf shirt.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break before I make Amy keep going down this rabbit hole.

[Amy]

I know I have to get out and listen.

[Smokey Bear PSA Voice]

Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike De La Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures we're taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Dollarocha on America's number one podcast network, iHeart.

[Spencer Graves]

Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame, anxiety and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows.

[John Paulk]

I'm John Palk. For years I was the poster boy of the conversion therapy movement. The ex gay who married an ex lesbian and traveled the world telling my story of how I changed my sexuality from gay to straight. Once upon a time I was on 60 Minutes, Oprah, the front cover of Newsweek, and you might have heard my story, but you've never heard the real story. So join me as I peel back the layers and expose what happened to me in the midst of conversion therapy to shine a light on what the X Game movement does to people and the pain it continues to cause.

[Spencer Graves]

I'd to like I lost 150 pounds because if I couldn't control my sexuality, I was going to control my weight.

[Amy]

It sounded like, and this is the word I used, occult.

[John Paulk]

And as I look too at the harm I did from within, listen to atonement. The John Paulk story on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Amy]

All right.

[Morgan]

We had this discussion when I recently went home. I did an event back home for a songwriters thing with Nicole Gallian. And I was sitting there talking to my family, and this was so funny because I've never even heard of this, but do you know your Japanese zodiac sign?

[Amy]

No.

[Morgan]

Did you even know that. That you could have a Japanese zodiac sign? Well, okay, so they. Apparently it's based off of your birth year, not anything else. There's no, like, other numbers, anything like that. It's just your birth year. And you could be, like, a rat, you could be a snake, you could be a dog. And they kind of make sense, I'm not gonna lie. So tell me what year you were born, and I'm gonna look up your Japanese zodiac sign.

[Amy]

1981.

[Morgan]

Let's see what you are. Oh, you and I are both the same.

[Amy]

We're both roosters. Oh, so animals repeat.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Well, so if you. It like. So it's anybody born in 2005-1981-1969-1957, it, like, kind of goes down, but, like, so there's certain years that are attached to different animals. Kind of like how we have, like, you know, the categories of if you're born at the certain time, but there's just based on birth year. And so roosters, the people born in the year of the rooster, are deep thinkers and are always busy and devoted to. Devoted to their work. They always want to do more than they're able to, and if they undertake a task beyond their abilities, they are disappointed. Do you feel like you're a rooster?

[Amy]

Not entirely. That. That doesn't totally resonate with me, but. But also, I could be in denial.

[Morgan]

That this is you. I. I definitely feel like there's a vibe of this for me. For sure, I do take on more than I can chew in a lot of ways, but I think that's also because I am meant to be just a rooster and maybe just have one task in the morning and get to hang out the rest of the day.

[Amy]

Yeah, I guess I've also gotten better at asking. Yeah. Asking for help. And. Yeah, I could see where that's me. I mean, and I've gotten better at work.

[Morgan]

Balance.

[Amy]

Balance. If there is such a thing, you know, like, not saying yes to everything. But I also feel recognize the privilege that comes with that statement, because I think there was a time where I didn't feel like I could say I was saying yes to everything. And maybe I need to get back to that a little more because there's some stuff that I miss. You know, like, we did the look back at 2016 because that was, you know, the whole trend and whatnot. And I'm like, gosh, we used to do so much more. Like, I had way more pictures of, like, in work stuff, doing things, being at things out and about, and I feel like there's less of that now. And I wasn't a mother then, so that also changes my availability for things or my bandwidth. To go out on a.

[Morgan]

Wednesday school night.

[Amy]

Yeah. To say yes to a work event. Yeah. During the week, which isn't when a lot of this stuff takes place, but that. I did have that. Oh, man. I. I kind of miss being a part of this stuff.

[Morgan]

Well, you can always add a few more things in now that you found your balance. Now it's easy to add things in. It's always hard to take things away. Right. But, like, now you're in a position where if you feel like you found a little bit of balance, this is a time where you can add things back in.

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't know if you found that when you looked back, but I saw I had so many more pictures of me doing things. Well, I just.

[Morgan]

In. In 2016 was so funny for me because I had moved to Nashville that year, so it was, like, fun to look back on because it was the year that I made a move across the country that I didn't know anybody. I didn't know what I was doing. I'd never been to Nashville before, and it was like, one of those moments where I'm like, dang. I had a realization of just how much changes in 10 years. Like, you really don't feel it when it's happening, and you're like, you know, there's big moments in your life, and, you know, you can look back and, like, there's a lot of change. But, like, watching, like, seeing the two photo comparisons between 2016 and 2026, I just am, like, looking at two separate people, it feels like two completely different worlds. And maybe that's kind of what you're referencing, too, is like, that was a different part of your life and you were a different person then.

[Amy]

No, it's very different. And it's. It's weird because it feels. Yeah. Ten years, it feels like forever ago. And then it also seems like, no way, that wasn't 10 years ago.

[Morgan]

Right. Like, it's. I even think about that, too. Like, coming up on this summer will be nine years for me on the show, and that feels crazy to me. Like, I don't know if you keep, when you keep adding like more every year, you're like, okay, now what number are you on now? Like seven. Is it 17? Me? Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, in June it'll be 20. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So you're like, holy crap, I'm coming on a 20 year anniversary of being on this show. And those moments also stick out for me where I'm like, how is, how, how is that even possible? Because then there's moments of me where I'm like, no, I'm still like that young 23 year old, like trying to figure out her life and, you know, doesn't know what's gonna come. But I'm like, nope, you're the inverse. You're actually 32 and still, still kind of have similar experiences, right?

[Amy]

Very.

[Morgan]

It is weird.

[Amy]

It is time. Time is weird. And I feel like if anybody younger is listening to this, they're going to be like, okay. Yeah, I hear people say it all the time. Like, it goes by so fast. It's already almost February. That is insane to me. Which tells me only one thing. Adults that used to tell me this were so right. The older you get, the faster it goes. Because I can already tell this year is going to fly by and I'm going to have to be intentional about it. I just am. So I'm trying to pause. I put up a new bird feeder and I'm going to spend more time sitting at my table, maybe doing a puzzle, looking at birds, but this time from a different perspective. Last time when I was really into birds and puzzles, it was like a survival thing. And now I'm. It's going to be more of a to slow things down thing. Like, I was depressed then and I am. While I'm no longer that I'm going to be doing these sort of things to be intentional with my time because I do feel like stuff like that slows it down. And I'm reading more. I've already read more this month than I read all of 2025, so. And that's a hundred percent accurate statement. So those are things I'm doing to intentionally slow time down.

[Morgan]

It's so hard, like genuinely. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life too. You know, you go to work and even just being out in traffic and.

[Amy]

Stuff, people are hurrying everywhere. Like you feel like everything's rushed.

[Morgan]

I was seeing this the other day. There was, there was somebody posting about how you need to like literally slow down like a sloth. Everything you do, every movement you make walking and doing laundry like you're supposed to go slower. And after watching that video, I was like really thinking about it because it was on top of mine and I was watching myself, like, felt like I was kind of having an out of body experience. And I was like, dang, you move fast. Like you could slow down just like a little bit, maybe like a half second and maybe it won't go by so fast. But I think that's part of it too is we genuinely like, and we, we stack our days of like here I have to be here at this time and here or there, and I'm doing this and I'm, you know, and you, you think when you pack your schedule and you're active and you have this, you know, full life and you're, you're taking advantage of all of it, but there's also like you're rushing in life when you're doing that. You're just like planning every hour of every day to be sure that you are, you know, getting the most out of life. But there's also this inverse reality of that where you're supposed to be slowing down to really experience life. And I've struggled with that. I've struggled trying to do that. I didn't realize how much I literally move in fast forward.

[Amy]

Yeah. Even just thinking of like our nervous systems, like, like you're talking about savoring and slowing down, but we may be able to save them, savor more if we're, we're slowing down our nervous system. Because you're talking about videos that you've seen online. It makes me think of this one girl. I have no idea. She just popped up on my feed. I don't even remember the whole video. But I know that she was pointing out that she cleans her countertops with such force and, you know, pressure and quickly and just her whole demeanor is her nervous system. And she's in, she's like, I'm in survival mode and I'm cleaning my countertop like I'm being attacked. And so she started to change the way she cleaned and tried to be real, intentional, even with a task like wiping down counters. And she started to move with more ease and, and with grace. And it was calming to her because she's like something in her nervous system was keeping her like, you know, fireflight, like, gotta be ready. And she was able to intentionally say, like, you're cleaning your countertop, you're at home, you are safe. And that when she started to change her movements, it changed her nervous system. And her whole demeanor. And I think there's something to be said about that, too, of, like, slowing to be intentional and savor moments and then slowing to be intentional. So you're not constantly, like, on edge.

[Morgan]

Yep. Yep. This was the other video that I saw. There was, like, a few of them on it where I was just, like, didn't realize that that was something I was even doing because of just, you know, how we're taught and how we're raised and how you interact with the world. It's just not something that anybody ever realizes or talks about, I guess. And that was my first introduction to it. So I'm trying to do that a lot this year. Uh, but it's also proving a lot harder than I thought it would be.

[Amy]

Yeah, you can be a sloth right up until you're about to be late for work, and then you have to turn into a maniac.

[Morgan]

Yep. And then the chaos hits again and then the cycle repeats itself, and that's where we are, so. Well, Amy, thanks for joining and hanging out for part one and catching up on random topics, things happening in life, tell the people where they can find you, hear you, all that good stuff.

[Amy]

She doesn't really snore that bad. I mean, occasionally she'll let out some noises or she'll have a little dream and she'll whimper. But she's not a snorer.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. Remy is like, I swear she snores more than me and my fiance combined. Like, she snores like an old man. That's what is happening right next to me. But. All right, so go check out part three.
