Welcome to Fit to Be Real and a little extra. It's my day. It 100% is your day. I'm so excited
We are talking about the moon. I
Love moons all of them. I the moon all the moons. I
Love the moon. We just had a full moon. It is November
So by the time this comes out will be a week out from our full moon
and
I had a lot of questions in person
Last night at class asking me what was going on with the moon. We
So did I and I was like, I don't know ask Victoria
Well, look at that. Let's talk about it. We're gonna talk about the phases
The moon in general how it affects us
What's the point all the all the stuff moon magic? All right magic moon magic?
I'm Victoria. Hey guys, I'm Carly. I just want to point out that I'm wearing my it's just a phase butcher
Oh my gosh, you are on purpose with the phases of the moon on it. You love the moon
I love the moon Justin texted us yesterday and said, oh my gosh, look at the moon and
I have yet to respond. I did not respond to that text message. I was like, I'm in a fluorescent box right now called see fit
I'm not looking at the moon. I saw it briefly and it was it looked like a
National geographic picture you would say was and then that was cloudy and then you couldn't see it anymore like pink yellow
Yeah, because it was also like sunset around sunset. Okay, so the moon's light comes from the sun
The moon is actually dark and it has absolutely no light
This is stuff that we should have learned in the third grade and I didn't pay attention then so I'll try and pay attention now
I don't think the moon was on I mean we learned the planets. No, we learned the moon the waxing and the waning
I remember having really on those. Yeah, and the moon and the waves and the science behind shush
Oh, oh, we're getting there. Yeah, we're gonna get into all of it
That's all I know third grade moon. I mean that's big to be honest with you. That's really all you need to know
The questions we were getting I didn't know you were getting questions
Nobody asked garlic questions about the moon or the sun. No to be fair. It wasn't actually a question
It was like what is going on today because the moon must be like blah blah blah and I was like, oh my gosh
Yeah, yeah, that's Victoria. So something going on usually people are like that's so boo boo
That's so hippie all that stuff when you're talking about the moon and when people are acting a crazy
I always attribute it to the moon and
Get weird looks when I say that out loud. So now you'll know why
We can still give her the weird looks as I always do you can I don't care
Um depends on what phase she's in we'll talk about it
So the moon is obviously it's the brightest and largest
Object in our night sky in the night sky. I'm gonna be very specific. Please do moon for dummies
So the purpose of the moon makes the earth more livable by moderating the planets wobble on its axis
I want to sing it so bad. Wow. Oh
Oh, we have two wobble songs
Wobble baby wobble baby wobble baby wobble
It basically keeps our climate stable
It causes the tides and creates a rhythm that guides human beings
so one of my answers to a couple seafitters last night is that the moon affects the tides and the ocean and the seas and
We'll talk about why but
Depending on where the moon is and how it's orbiting and where the Sun is in relation to the moon and the earth
That's why we have waves like that's where
Some tidal waves come from and of course storms and that's where tsunamis the tide comes in
You're just naming things that you know very good
The tide comes in the tide goes out and it's all affected by the rotational
The rotation of a moon and the Sun and all of that stuff. We are made up of 70% water
Mm-hmm. Oh, you are the same. Yeah, that makes sense. So we are affected by the moon in that way. Yeah
Thank you. Well, I see the extent of my moon knowledge ends there the moon
Controls the waves, right? That is the extent. I do know the phrase the moon is in retrograde
I don't know what that means, but I will use it to sound like you. It's usually Mercury's and
shoot, but
The moon can be in the microwave as well. That's fine. I
Said retrograde not microwave. I know but people call it microwave because it's like funny
This is going really well. Do you know who discovered the moon?
God on the seventh day
No, he rested on the seventh day
Galileo Galileo, yeah, okay
Galileo
I knew it. I knew it. I wrote that down just because I was like, I'm gonna test the theory that she's gonna start singing in the girl
Girls and it's true
I I think there's gonna be a lot of me singing on today's episode because that is all I will be able to
Contribute you can find songs about the moon
You will win. You will win the day
Okay, so there are eight phases of the moon and they are all caused by the position of where Sun,
Moon and Earth are when we see a bright
Full moon or even if it's in part of the phases where it looks like a banana and then it looks like the letter D
And it starts to get fuller and it gets smaller
that's just a reflection of either other stars the Sun or
Something called Earth shine, which is the reflection of lights on Earth. Is there a moonshine?
Are you drinking it right now?
Is it in your Christmas mug? The two, you know when you see the emojis like if you go and you type into your emoji on your phone
Moon all of the phases of the moon pop up right when it's a bright and looks like the Sun in the emoji
Because I know you can all look at this right now while I'm talking. That's a full moon
The dark one is a new moon new moon. Have you ever heard of new moon? I mean I've heard of it from probably you
So if the moon is between Earth and Sun
That's the back of the moon is lit and the front of the moon is dark. Yeah, it's so lit it is lit
That's a new moon. That's when we can't see the moon when oh it's because it's completely dark
And it's actually I'm picturing it party in the back. It's a mullet
Party in the back of the moon Sun's are reflecting off the other side that we can't say nice
Listen, this is mooning for
Mooning a moon
ening all over you
All over you
That's from Greece. No, I'm saying this is mooning for dummies and I understand that yeah
If the moon's on the other side of Earth
Compared to the Sun and it's all lit up
It's a full moon. So if you were looking up in the sky like we've been talking about last night and
It's perfectly round and it's very bright. That is a full moon
So new moon and full moon two very different things, but both the center of the eight cycles of phases
Mm-hmm, right when it's in that partial illumination
It's that's what the phases of the moon are it's just a phase
It's just it's the phase it just goes through the phases, right? So it's a 29. This is what gets me about like
Humans. Oh, we're based off the cycle of the moon. So if the moon wasn't discovered until 1610 by Galileo
They had no idea
What what what a calendar was what anything was right?
So they were going off this giant thing in the sky and it cycled every 29 and a half days
But that only makes 350 for days and we go off of a 365 day cycle. Oh, right
So there's an 11 day gap
In how the moon cycles and how we have a calendar on paper
it's all based off of harvesting and
Like we're gonna go through all the names of the moons that you've heard before and it's all Native American because that's what it was
Yeah, that's who basically created the terminology. Yeah, so I don't know
Exactly when the calendar change it's something I have to look into I guess but
The reason why the 29 and a half days is important is when we get to the blue moon
So we'll talk about that
Yeah, yep, you're three for three. This is actually really good
The eight phases the new moon we just talked about completely dark can't say it it's up there, but it's hiding
It's hibernating like a bear then it goes into that waxing crescent, which is like the banana. Yes, right?
It's really I know that one then it's the first quarter moon, which is kind of like the letter D
So it's getting bigger
But it's it's not fully there. You're gonna notice this the next time you look up at the moon actually
Do it for an entire month and then you can track it and it'll be really cool
Yeah, it's growing at this stage because waxing is growing and weaning is getting smaller, right?
So the first quarter moon is that D shape waxing give us it's just getting bigger from that D shape full moon
It's now made it to the full brightest moment and then it goes into the other way, but it's a waning give us
I want to be like I'm
Weaning
Like the wicked witch. I'm
That's how I read that's how I always remembered that it was getting smaller because I'm
I'm waning because it's melting. Yeah. Oh my god. I think I'm embarrassed, but I'm not sure
Then it goes into the last quarter moon and then it goes in to the waning crescent
So it starts at a crescent goes into the full or new the waning crescent is like the thumbnail, right?
Like they're very thin
Yeah, it's like the it's like the banana crescent just like on the other side on the other side
So it's either on the right or the left, right? But it's the same thing. It's just mirrored
Mm-hmm now that we know the phases of the moon and we know that it's a 29 and a half day cycle
And usually our months are 30 days, right? Which means we have about 12
Full moons a year 12 months in a year. It's a 12 full moon
However, because of that 11 day gap every two years two and a half years. We get a 13th moon. That's a blue moon. Oh
Oh, that's a blue moon. Okay, so more than one full moon in a month is a blue isn't once in a blue moon
There you go guys if you learn nothing else today
You learned the phrase once in a blue moon, but it's twice a month the blue moon
Well, it's the second full moon in the one month somebody messed that up. I think it was you just now
Oh
My god, yeah, yeah, that's where blue moon comes from and
That's when rare things or when someone uses that phrase once in a blue moon
It just doesn't happen frequently. It doesn't happen often. Yeah, and that is why it's not because the moon is actually blue
Yeah, well, that's what honestly that's what I thought I
Was just gonna ask you
Does it is it a shade of blue? No, it just no
Really once in a blue moon. Yeah, I mean it can the moon like in August the moon has like a red hue
Yeah, haze so it can kind of look different colors, but no, it's not actually there's no mice up there singing like on top of the blue
Yes, okay. All right
All right, I already once is enough, okay
This I love and I think I'm geeking out. This is like my
Speaking out right now. I really love it. I'm smiling. That's all you know
Victoria smiling
Michelle smiling
Full house
So each month has a different name
For the moon, okay. Yes. Each month has a different name. It's true for the moon as well
She looked at me like I was I was like this is for dummies
So January is a wolf moon
Quite literally because wolves howled because of no food in the rough month of January. No way
So it's called a wolf moon. That's cool. February is a snow moon
Just because it's you know cold stormy weather. Yeah, pretty obvious March is a worm
Yeah
That's gross because of like the worm trails okay from in March
And I think that's just like the beginning of spring and getting yeah the Galileo do this
No, no, it's in the native Americans. Oh, right
April is a pink moon and
That's just because of a specific wild flower blooming because of Easter may is a flower moon
Because of the abundance of flowers not the specific flower makes sense
June you've heard of a strawberry moon
Yes, I actually have and that's just when strawberries are harvesting. Oh in June
So eat your strawberries in June because they they're good. That's when they're juiciest
July is a buck moon
And that's when male deer shed their antlers
No way
You ever see one like shake their antlers off
Oh, no, no not in this lifetime. I have not online not like in person. Oh, no
Springfield Pennsylvania this lifetime again. It's not what I'm you tubing these days
Okay August is a sturgeon moon or a red moon
Okay, so surgeon it's a species that appeared
First in August got it and then it's also called the red moon just because of the summer haze and how I mean the sun is
Probably highest and hottest in August. So that's the color of the moon actually changes
September is the full corn moon. Well, that makes sense
Because the corn is as high as an elephant's eye
technically that is a song she's singing but she she
Made it into a monologue. Yeah, what was I gonna word poems? Yeah, hi, Coo written word written word
Spoken word spoke word. Oh man decided to switch it up. So the full corn. Yeah
That's just the crops were gathered at the end of September and corn was corn was hot
I'll be popping
October's the hunters moon
Mm-hmm, and it's because it's brightest and longest in October. So it helped them hunt for food
That's what it was. So the hunters had more opportunity to feed feed everybody
November is the beaver moon. What?
And that's fun beaver's heaviest activity of building dams
Heaviest really? Yeah, that's crazy November. I don't know December is a cold moon
Wow, that one was pretty to the point. I have no explanation. Yeah, I I would say that it that is the
Explanation. Yeah, so those are all of the names that you'll see so if you see a lot of once once you start
clicking on
Like moons in your Instagram the more things will come up and sometimes you'll just all of a sudden all of my
Instagram is telling me all about the moon and when we have full and what it means and all that stuff and
It's really fun to look at that. But sometimes I was like what the buck moon?
Yeah, buck moon. So now you know that was a good explanation. I like that. Thank you
Sure
So here's the part of the moon that I really wanted to talk about today and it's how it affects us
So we already talked a little bit about it
But the science behind like the tides and how it affects
Basically earth not necessarily just the human beings is that it exerts a strong gravitational pull and that's what changes the ocean and the seas
So as it rotates and changes through the phases that gravitational pull is what's changing
Yeah us as well and due to that 70% water
We are also affected by that gravitational pull. I think that's the most interesting
I never thought of it that way. Yeah, and so what happens when the water if you think of
You think of yourself as a glass and it fills up from bottom to top and we're full of water
Wait, are we half full or we seeing it? That depends on how you're looking at it. You know, it depends on your perspective
But if you think of it like that just to picture what I'm gonna say and it's filled with that water
Turn it into a motion
Right, it's a it's a glass full of emotions. So as it teeters and totters and changes and goes through the phases
Certain emotions get pulled to the surface. Oh as we rotate and as the moon changes us
So that's why the tides and the feelings are connected. Mm-hmm in terms of water and the moon
I always see people's Instagram stories. They're like friends of mine that'll be like oh my gosh
What is going on with the moon because I am feeling a certain kind of way. Yeah, and I'm like, what are you talking about?
Things get brought to the surface. Yeah, this is what they're talking about. So in Latin moon is Luna, right? Right?
Love that name for a dog
Or a child awesome if your child's name is Luna. I like it too cool higher Potter. Okay
But the reason I say that is Luna
Luna tick
Loony tune no way it it derives from
Temporary insanity is where Luna tick comes from but it derives from the moon, which is Luna. You're blowing my mind
It's like one of those memes. That's like I was today years old when you know, I'm serious
No, but that's where Luna tick comes from. Yeah. Yeah
Yep, I was today years old today. Nice
Nice and science some say that we react to the subtle changes of the Earth's magnetic field in the gravitational pull like we said and
When the ocean flows with the tides
salty water which is electrically conducted
Uh-huh causes the magnetic field to fluctuate so because the moon affects there's another way to look at it because the moon affects the water and
Oceans make up most of the earth which is salty. Okay, which is
electrically
conducted uh-huh
That changes the magnetic field and forces it to fluctuate and the fluctuations effect are alpha brainwaves
humans alpha brainwaves that is crazy and that is where the effect comes a little bit more scientifically
It basically means the same same thing that you said first thing and the second thing that's the science behind it. Yeah
and what happens is that
It is studied that people human beings get 30% less sleep at a full moon. Oh
And what happens when people don't sleep?
They get Luna
Tiki
No, but right like they get a little wild. Yeah, the internal biological rhythm is
Shifted because the moon is the same thing and it affects your mood when you don't sleep you are tired
You're cranky. Yeah, or you're feeling loopy doesn't have to be negative
It could just be loopy and like emotional all over the place. Yeah unbalanced unaligned. So the full moon it is a
Legitimate thing whether you believe in God or the universe or spirituality whatever it is or science
It's science. I was gonna say you can't
Debunk the fact that the moon is the reason for a lot of a lot of
Changes all around it is just coming to me now with everybody being like oh my gosh
Is it a full moon people are acting crazy people are driving crazy people are whatever it must be a full moon now because
somehow spirituality and
connecting in that way
It has a taboo like yeah, I don't know connotation to it
So when people say like I even I'm aware of that so when people
Come in to me like clients of mine and they're like, I don't know what's going on in my house
I don't know what's going on with the kids at school. I don't know like yeah, and we're all of that stuff
I'll be like well
Full moon this weekend. I hate to say it. I hate to disclaim that like I know this sounds weird to you
Yeah, because there's some sort of
You're crazy if you think that the moon has you know like that sort of sort of thing you're loony you're a
lunatic
But it's true just
Like there are eight phases there are different ways that those eight phases affect us. It's not just oh, we're at a new moon
We're crazy. Yeah, oh, it's gone. It's it all
Changes us in a different way. Mm-hmm
I'm way. Oh my gosh. I thought you were gonna
Put something no a little bit more on the wisdom side
I just feel like if you are studying for a moon test that I just helped you pass
I'm waning
Me I'm gonna make that a sound cue
And we're gonna just put that in every every couple minutes
The new moon when the moon is dark and not there it's in its low light phase obviously
But that also means that we are low energy. Mm-hmm. We are tired
so we should be
introspective and
This is a phrase from an article that I read that I really liked indulge in introvert time. Oh
Indulge in that just sitting by yourself. Yeah, do not go out. Don't make plans
Take that time in your low energy. Why am I so tired? Why am I just like?
dragging it's for a reason you have to listen to it and
You're gonna notice the next new moon
How you're feeling? Hopefully is there a new moon every day all day like every month all month
For me, we try to say I like to indulge in my introvertness at all times
The waxing crescent waxing crescent so when it's growing, but it's in that banana shape
That comes after the new moon, right?
So after it's dark and it starts to get a little bit brighter and a little bit more bright and a little bit more bright
That's after relaxing recharging reflecting and you're ready to go forth with some new light
Oh, so quite literally what the moon's doing. That's
Technically how we are all kind of if you're going off of the moon. You're very in sync. Don't yes
Yes, there's so many songs. I want to sing there's so many songs. I want to sing they don't have one about the moon
Make me ill to see you give love and attention at his will you can't imagine all the pain
I feel see you with him moon
There we go, we made it about the moon. I do have a question real quick are there people
that live
by the moon
Like they will look at the moon or they will research the moon and they will live their daily life
Being like, okay, it's this kind of moon. I
Yes, really called yogis or spiritual
People okay hippie dippies if you will yeah, yeah, because the moon is connected to everything
I mean if we're gonna get into it the moon affects. Yes our emotions. Yes our earth
It affects our menstrual cycles. Yeah, that's where we that's how it goes
Yeah, so that's why we as females are a 30-day start over right?
That's the first thing I thought of when you said that I was like, oh, I wonder if that's all put together
So if you track yourself and your body and your cycles, it's usually
And you're and you're in tune with the moon it they line up right they line up
So then that's how you track it. Yeah, I I don't necessarily like live my life by the moon in what I think you're saying
But I look up every single night check out what's what's going on up there
And I I kind of do go by what we're talking about right now. All right. I'm good. The moon is
Messing with me the moon is hiding and so I feel okay to be a little bit more on
On my couch and like feeling my feels and feeling okay and as it gets
You know brighter and bigger. It's I also start feeling like I'm okay and okay now
I'm gonna I'm gonna put some intentions out there. I'm gonna start doing new things
I'm gonna you know, yeah, you kind of you can go with the moon
You can cycle with the face of the moon if you if you know what you're looking for and you track it
Because you can't be bright all the time. No, you cannot be full and bright at all times. So if you think that you can
You're going to crash and then your new moon of darkness
Last way too long. Mm-hmm. So if you go with the cycle of the moon
You have time to be bright and then you have time to come back down
And then you have an ebb and then you have a flow right hills and valleys
So if you do go by the moon, you're pretty balanced. I would say mm-hmm
You you don't go by the moon. No, no, no, I definitely go big and then I go home. You're yeah
Go big or go home
Go brighter go dark
Too dark
So in any case back to where we were the waxing crescent. That's the time to write intentions out
Thank the universe for the beautiful things that are coming. They're not there yet because you're not full yet
They're coming right
Then we get into the first quarter moon and that balance of light and shadow
Reflects the obstacles that you're going through and how you will overcome them. I mean that's actually exactly what we just said
Yeah, the shadow the shadows and the dark
You kind of have to sit with them to be able to get out of them, right? So that's that's that phase
Waxing gibbous
It signals
Direction and adjustment and flexibility so if plans change you have to look at that as a new direction instead of
Like a dig at you. Yeah, you know, it's how you it's basically just how you look at like you change direction like wax on
Wax off
I've been waiting to say that since we started
Your patience will be tested during this
So you have to be flexible like one direction is wax on other direction is wax off
I'm as challenged as I can be right now. So I think yep, we're coming out of that full moon
I don't think there's anyone more challenged on this subject than me the fact that you're getting through to me and I'm
dealing with it
humorously and
Understanding I understand. Oh, she thinks she's funny means you're doing a good job
So with the flexibility that you are supposed to practice in the waxing gibbous you practice that flexibility with gratitude
gratitude is just being
Grateful and realizing that it's really hard to say that just be grateful. Well, how do you be grateful?
Right? Yeah, and it's just knowing that what you have is enough like that's great
I practiced that last night. It was Cyber Monday and I wanted so many things and I had my carts full and I looked at all my carts
And I was like, I don't need any of this. I have more than I could ever have
And I didn't buy anything and I was grateful for all of the stuff that I had
So I deleted all of my carts at all the stores
And I only bought stuff that I had gift certificates for I'm picturing your phases of the moon like empty shopping carts
And there's only a couple things and there's a little bit more and then there's a little bit more and then it's totally full
And then you start realizing maybe we should take things a little bit back here
Listen, if that's the way you need to see it, but I practiced gratitude last night
I was grateful for everything I had and I said no Cyber Monday
You will not get me this year and that was it. I was grateful. That's awesome. Thank you. I forgot it was Cyber Monday. I
I haven't been grateful for that. Be grateful for Christmas present yet. That's really a shame for me
So we've made it to the full moon which is at its brightest it's at its brightest
But because the moon is bright doesn't mean happy positive things. It's at its most tense for us
Oh, and it's a heightened emotion, which is what it was, right?
When the the feelings are feeling all the things and everybody's in their feelings era
Way to talk to the young kids. Very good. So it has that extra energy, but it's opposite energy
So the Sun and the moon pull on your own energy
So the moon is feminine. Uh-huh and the Sun is masculine and
Everybody has a feminine and a masculine part to them especially emotionally and
And so when the moon is at its fullest we are at our most emotional because that's where the feminine energy comes from
Uh-huh if you can wrap your head around on that. So what we're supposed to do is observe
Just observe don't take action. Don't do anything
Observe yourself observe others and have compassion and that is the hardest thing is to have compassion for yourself
Very easy to have compassion for other people. Yeah, hopefully not all people I guess and remember that you're getting less sleep
So you don't want to make any decisions when you're sleeping. Yes. Yes. Yeah accurate. Wow very good
Yes, that's the first thing you said that was helpful. Great
Yes
So now we're in our waning give a stage of the phases right and everything slows down
You're supposed to I like this phrase to bathe in satiation
And gratitude explain you're supposed to soak in all the ways that you're satisfied and oh, okay, right?
And just be grateful but in a slow not fast boy
so how do you do that you can sit down with a gratitude journal and
Send thank yous reconnect with the people around you whatever it is. That's a good time to
Maybe get out of that hibernating part of yourself and start coming out, right?
I'm coming out. I want the world to know got to let it show
third quarter
Or last quarter moon third quarter last quarter they get the same name
But the light starts to fade so that's time to cleanse and release and let go and it's let go of things that don't serve you
Do not sing let it go. I want to so hard her shoulders just reached her ears so hard. I want to
Let it go let it go. She took it down. I had to oh man. I'm in my third quarter
But yes, you're supposed to let it go you are to purge what no longer serves you people things
feelings
Whatever it is let it go and it's just that's a big releasing time is when it's in the third quarter
And then the last one is the waning crescent so it's that thumbnail mm-hmm on the opposite side of the phases and
The light is almost gone the light of the moon is almost
So deep it was like good lord the light of the moon. It just means it's time to reset and
and
recuperate it's basically just surrendering to
trusting that things will happen yeah, and try to not have
So much control on how things turn out and how things work out and how things are going to happen for you
You just have to surrender that's like my least favorite moon
It's just the most challenging one. That's all it does help when you're looking at the moons
I am literally looking at Victoria's phases of the moons and it is very helpful
Yeah, the phases just represent self exploration like yes, there are phases of the moon and they're actually happening for the moon
But when it comes to us and how we can channel in with the phases
It's it's your own self awareness and if we all did that mm-hmm just imagine
That doesn't mean you don't have to shave your armpits
Are you going to wear bell bottoms is that what people think well whatever hippie?
Terminology is for you like
Yeah, you know yeah, that doesn't mean you have to do that
But if you become more self aware more introspective and if the moon can help you
Because it can be overwhelming to be like I have to do all of these things. I know and try to
Better myself like that's a lot of things to do you do it a little bit at a time and if you follow the phase of the moon
Maybe the moon tells you what to do yeah and how to do it and then you're ebbing and flowing
In a more balanced a line way than this crazy out of control
Inbalance that we all usually are in I think or and also like a knowing way like intuition
No, just the fact that
Sometimes we have no idea why we act the way that we do sometimes we have no idea why we're feeling like I was just talking to
Melody the other night she was crying and she's like I don't know why I'm crying and she's nine
so I mean she doesn't know anything about that but
Just as an adult knowing more about stuff like that you could be like well, I wonder what this means like she's I don't know
Why yeah, you know and we don't know why either right? Yeah, I I definitely didn't know I was like, I don't know oh
But stop
Just stop crying. No cry let it out. No, I know but I just feel like the more the more you know the
I don't know sometimes easier it is to get through the frickin day knowledge is power
Yeah, I do I I do do that sometimes where I'm like why what is going on?
Why am I out of sorts right now and sometimes I'll look into where we are in the phases of the moon
I'll be like oh my god
It's a full moon tomorrow. Yeah, no wonder. I everyone's annoying me. Yeah, like everyone's loony. Yeah
It's a thing if you feel emotionally imbalanced if you feel like you've heard this what is going on with the moon or
That's the reason why people are feeling crazy. There's a little just 101 moon 101 for all of you
There are three
tidbits or quotes before we get into our fun little game that I
I it hits home for me a lot and and I put them into my yoga classes and I
Sometimes meditate on them if you want to use the word meditate. These are not my quotes
These are somebody else's
Mine they're definitely not Carly's
Carly's is
Moony moony moony moony moony moony
Moony moony
Man, I could do this all day all day
Oh
So the moon doesn't judge what phase it's in. Oh
So, why do we do that? Yeah, right?
So if we ebb and flow like the moon does which we do whether you think you do or not you do you are not at the same level at
All times you cannot be
healthily
Why do we judge when we're not as full and as balanced and you can feel it?
Why we why can't we just get through and be like, okay, it's gonna change things are gonna change
It's all temporary, but we don't do that
We judge ourselves and we get really hard on ourselves or others and the people around us
That is a really good one say it one more time the moon doesn't judge what phase she's in yeah
And to finish the quote because I stopped I got so into it
She feels each phase is equal and beautiful no matter what?
Brightness she's in second one
Embrace your dark side so you can illuminate when you're ready. Yeah, right?
Uh-huh the full moon cannot happen unless there is a new moon and it takes time to
Reflect and recharge and reset and kind of sit in its darkness
Doesn't last long but it has to happen and we've talked about that so many times you have to feel your feelings and be in the
Bad to get the good. Yeah, but nobody wants to do that
And we try and cover it up all the time and then the last one isn't necessarily a quote
It's something that I've seen multiple people on Instagram say and I love the way it said when the moon is looking
Incredible in whatever phase and you think the crescent is really cool
You want to try to capture that little banana or it's full and it's perfect and you can kind of see the crevices of the moon because it's so bright
With your eyes you're seeing it
You're seeing the beauty of it and then you try to get your phone out and you try to take a picture
And if it's in the crescent, it's not that perfect banana shape anymore
It's not that perfect thumbnail that you're seeing with your eyes
It's blurry and it's a blob on your phone same thing with the full moon. It's just it doesn't illuminate what you're seeing with your eyes
We don't discredit what our eyes are seeing though because our phone isn't as bright
Mm-hmm
So why don't we do that when we look at pictures of ourselves?
I as you were talking I was just saying that like how many times I've said delete that delete that right we don't delete or
Decide that what we're seeing
Isn't true because the phone is blurry
But when we take pictures of ourselves the phone can't capture all of our beauty the way that we see
Ourselves in real life and yet we are so
We believe the phone. Mm-hmm. We believe the picture
So if we can take moments to try to remember that the next time you take a picture and you're like
So hard on yourself
Give yourself a little grace. Yeah
Because you give the moon a little grace, right?
You still save the picture on your phone even though it's not exactly what you looked at with your eyes
But how many times have you taken a picture and you're like, I mean this is my MO to be honest with you
Oh, take another one. Oh, I didn't like that one take another one. Oh, no, I know my gosh take another one
Like and you could do that with the moon one hundred every time you're doing it. You're like, oh my gosh
It's not you're it's not seeing what I'm seeing right right
So three little three little moments of introspection for yourself
Try to bring it out into your everyday life, right?
And now let's get funny gonna say this is deeper than I thought we were going to the moon is emotional moon magic
We're about to not get deep. Oh god. So let's play a little game
Is it a full moon or a blue moon?
So if it's a full moon, is this a test? No
If it's a full moon, it happens all the time. Okay, if it's a blue moon, ah
It's it doesn't happen as often a little bit more time has to pass. Okay. These are about normal things
This is what happens when I put Victoria in charge of the game, but if this is gonna be yeah, yeah, we may cut this but it's okay
So is it a full moon or a blue moon when we need to change our bedsheets
I mean, do you want the real answer or what I do a blue moon? I?
Think it's more of a full moon. Yeah technically they say once a week or every two weeks at the most
Yeah, how often we need to change our mattress. Oh my god 17 blue moons
like I
Isn't it once every 17 years seven? Oh my god, but technically that's a blue moon seven years a long time
how
often
You should change not on your body, but rid of your underwear. Oh
So obviously we change our underwear every single day, right?
But taking underwear out of your drawer and throwing it away trash blue moon. I mean moon
I know it should be a full moon, but like how many oh, I know how many pairs of underwear
Do you have yeah? I would say it's a full moon. It's every six months
Oh, they say to rid of your undergarments every six months. Do people do that? I have no idea
Changing out your toothbrush. I I feel like you're learning a little too much about me that you don't want to know
But I think mine's a blue moon
Three to four months. Oh
I would think it would be sooner, so I'm not that far off. I
Do it around every three or obviously if you're sick you throw it away immediately and get a new one when you're all healthy
So I just heard this for the first time by mr. Justin
One of my kids was sick and he was like change your toothbrush because you don't want her doing that again
I was like what I?
Changed my toothbrush more often. I give so much money to the toothbrush companies. Yeah
Oh, okay. Well, I have a tongue scraper. I do you do have a tongue scraper. You love a good tongue scrape
I love a tongue scrape
All right, here's one how often should you replace?
Your hairbrush. Oh
That's a never moon
It's it's a new one we're working on it's never
Find the brush you like and never change it. What month is that? Oh
Oh, I don't know it's between six months to a year. Oh my god, that's that's a full
I guess that's a full yet. Oh my gosh. No that depends on though
that how much product you use on your hair and
Like skin issues, so it does depend. It's not perfect
Well, then things should be cheaper because I can't be changing all this stuff you tell every six months
Like I'm not doing this and you all know a little too much about me right now
Well, this didn't have to get personal but we got person. I mean, that's okay
So here's a conflicting answer and there are three answers
So you have three chances to be right and wrong how often you have to change your makeup brushes
But the ladies or the men who are makeup? I mean I
have a
Full moon a new moon of a blue moon a harvest moon everyone says different things
Yeah, I am gonna go with my general consensus on this game and say it's a blue moon for me, but that is also
Why I get breakouts all the time
Which is one of the reasons one person said every three months. Oh, but if you're getting good makeup brushes
Yeah, that's expensive expensive
It cosmetics says every like three to five years. Oh, I go with it cosmetics. I mean, that's the makeup we use
I would think that they would say sooner, but they probably didn't tell you but you should be washing them and cleaning them
Yes, every day you should be I don't know if it's every day
But you should be cleaning your brushes regularly and then changing them out every three to five years
I I've never done that memory either sponges are like weekly throw your sponges out. Yeah, if you use like on your face
Yeah, that's what it says. That's a full moon
Every week their sponges out so much to learn today
I'm gonna be a new me and a new moon. Oh god
I'm embarrassed. Okay. How often should you change your oil? Oh
In your car
Never moon. I don't do that. Well, Carly is not in charge of that but it is a I would say full moon
It's every 5,000 miles depending on how much you drive
So if you don't change your oil your car will stop if you don't change your oil and your body your car will stop
Your body will stop
So I would say that's a full moon every five to seven
thousand I
Don't go anywhere. All right last
Last one
Super important and I've never done this in my entire life and then I'm a never moon
But that's not the answer how often you have to change your refrigerator filter
So your house doesn't explode into a big fire. Yeah, that's a never moon for me. I didn't even know that was a thing
Yeah, every six months stop. That's a full moon
So what if you don't do it? I
Mean I've I've never done it. Can we ask mom the last time she's done it?
How is her house still standing? Oh, no
Yeah, I don't know that's something I I kept that one in there because I was like I feel like people don't know
I feel like people need to know that and we don't know that so I don't know if that's like a normal thing
I've never heard of that before my life. Yeah, you got to change same thing with your air conditioning filters
You got to change them out without we do every year before we turn the air on again, right? But fridge
Never moon. Yeah, well, hopefully it never breaks
Never never gonna get it never never gonna get it
However, you won
Yay, the first game I've ever won
I'm waxing
That means I'm getting bigger and Leon's getting larger
Airplane anyone? Yeah, the movie?
1985 airplane we are all over the place in this episode because it is a full moon
You know we're coming down from a full moon this week and going right back into a new moon
Yes
Do we know it now? I I totally understand it and next time I may not take a picture of the moon
But I will look up and think of you well
We're gonna venture into the phase of the real tip and the real extra tip
So your real tip of the day is
Find a spiritual account or if you type in the word moon into Instagram
I'm sure their accounts that will come up that follow the moon and just give information about
where we are in the moon cycles and
Start to take note of it and be able to track where the phases of the moon are and
And maybe to start a journal of where you're feeling and it could just be like if it's a Carly's journal
It's gonna be feeling good
feeling bad
feeling confused
Feeling tired like that's all you need to do. Okay. Thank God
Yeah, but start to track and then maybe you will become more balanced with your own internal clock and internal emotions and
See how that affects your external life
And so now here's your real extra tip of the week. It's called phase out
What does phase out mean?
It means
phase out
deleting the pictures
Take the first picture. I mean barring that your eyes are open and
Everyone's looking or whatever. I am the queen of delete delete delete until you get the perfect picture enough
Yeah, phase it out take the picture that picture is real. That is the real you there is no faking it
All right, so stop just phase out deleting all the pictures take the first picture Victoria
Do not take a picture of me right now
She picked up her phone I saw what she was doing phase it out or you know what just don't take pictures at all
Remember it in your memory
Okay, take all the pictures just stop trying to make it perfect phase perfection out. Oh
There was I
Yeah
That's real everyone that is real
No sound effect needed
but phase out deleting the actual moments in your life and keep those pictures
That that aren't perfect because actually those are the ones that are always the best. Yeah
Yeah, that's good. Thanks you
