Show Notes
Todd and Bettijo kick off Season 2 with a bang, tackling the ever-present drama of negativity and the sneaky power of self-talk. They dig into a wild theory about how childhood traumas might have left you with a few extra “personalities” (explains a lot, right?). Todd even drops some wisdom on how past choices can stunt emotional growth, giving us all something to chew on.
They hilariously define self-talk as that inner monologue that’s either your hype-person or your harshest critic, and reveal that how you dish it out to others is often just a mirror of what you’re telling yourself. The duo then sparks a lively, sometimes eyebrow-raising, debate about how different genders tackle negative emotions and parenting. Todd’s all about that “black or white” life, while Bettijo’s leaning into the “let them learn from their mistakes” philosophy.
The conversation gets wonderfully weird as they trace the roots of negative narratives back to childhood and beyond, even touching on the idea that parental imperfection might just be part of the grand plan. They brilliantly break down the difference between healthy self-reflection and that self-sabotaging spiral, offering tips to keep your internal pep talk on point. Todd shares his rock-solid belief in divine timing and battling those “devilish” roadblocks, while Bettijo delivers the mic drop moment: your positive attitude is basically like good hygiene – spread it around!
