Flex and Frooms. Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Flexi's Big Question of the Week. Had Flexi's Big Question is back in a big way. It's where I pose a question of the week to help you understand what you think, why you think it, and who is influencing the way that you think. A couple of days go, I pose the question what's the life experience that you don't have that you need? And the questions and responses
we got out of this world. If you ever feel like you want to answer some of these questions but can't get a hold of us, we do put a little question box on our Instagram story, so it's up there. You put your answers in that, and then we chat about it on air. It's all really funny games. And also if you want to extend the conversation further, don't come to me in frooms, Go to your friends, go to your loved ones. That's what this is all about.
Sharing the information. Let's read it a bunch of answer. We're not going to read out any names. Just gets too confusing. But we've got some kind of social sport, dating, travel, traveling solo, a relationship, a driver's license, living on my own, traveling dating women, living abroad, financial security, the ability to actually be good at my job, owning a home, having a baby, living overseas. This person wants to do a
twelve day silent retreat in the poll. I've heard of that being able to drive, dating, rooting, being mutually in falling, mutually in obsessive love, firing someone in a humane way, being filthy, rich with their responsibilities. Parenting question mark I guess dan being broken up with I must remind you I'm reading our answers to a question. I pose that is what a life experience you don't have that you need. Okay, people are saying here they feel like they naive but
don't know how to fix it. They don't know how to choose loved ones and friends appropriately. They don't have the knowledge they need to change careers. Listen. I think this is where we've gotten a bit confused about information. I don't think a lot of us are considering that part of living life is living life like. We can't have the rule book for every decision we need to make.
Sometimes you just got to do it. Sometimes life is not a game of monopoly where everybody is sat at the table at the same time, with the same intention, with the same rules, with the same outcome. Sometimes you got to play all the parts. You're gonna be your own advisor, your own therapist, your own doctor, your own confident and then build your book of life experiences because I don't think anyone can ever give you the information
that you'll need. I mean, that's the point of the question, right, It was a trap. I said, what life experience do you need? The answer is in the question, you need the life experience. And also, yeah, babe, I would say that even the phrase need, like what life experience do you need? I won't say it's a fallacy in itself, but like we are the ones to determine what information we need and don't need, and we determine the level of comfort we need before we make any decisions. But
that's the whole point. Like, a lot of the things that limit us from doing stuff is self imposed. And there are obviously things like gender RaSE, glass ceilings, social contracts, geographical locations. It means that you can't do what you want to do. But for the most part, a lot of the things that we need to do. We just have to do. That's so boring, I know, what the hell, But realistically, it's like it kind of adds up. Everybody
I know that is so wise. I'm talking like boundless when it comes to it's not about age, Like I talk to twenty year old who are so wise, and fifty year old who are so wise, and nine year olds are so wise, and the only thing they all have in common, so they're constantly doing they always reference their own life when giving advice, or they reference their own experiences, their own trials, their own tribulations, and it's like, yeah, I think that's it. Like I think we've over resource
asking everybody else for help. It's like, you gotta do a bit of the work yourself. She's saying we should have trials. Absolutely, jem should definitely in avoiding what Bobo, my friend and ex podcast host said. It's a really great quote and I don't know if she made it up, but it's sat with me for years. And she says, the walls that you build to protect you are the
same walls that ended up trapping you. So these narratives you create around why you can't or won't do something feel really good and they protect you, but they also trap you in a state of stagnancy because you wait to feel comfortable before you do stuff, and then, to my surprise, comfort is a luxury. There are people who are uncomfortable all day, every day and just do stuff because what's worse than being uncomfortable? Regret? Yeah, speak on it. Sis.
I'm gonna leave you with that. Miss you, Dealey. Be great. You've been listening to the Flex and Frooms Daily podcast. For more, tune Indicator on DAB or stream it on iHeartRadio.
