01:42 What are you going to do?

01:44 You know what?

01:45 I've been wanting to take a sabbatical

01:47 and just be in the middle of the ocean with nobody.

01:50 I'm the only one in the world just for six months.

01:52 Yes.

01:53 Look at you sweat.

01:54 I don't know yet, but I'm going to find out.

01:57 Traditional marriage, open marriage,

02:00 or are you down to go 50/50?

02:03 I'm team 50/50 all day.

02:06 What about you?

02:07 Well, I feel like I could go 50/50, too.

02:10 OK.

02:10 It's a partnership.

02:11 Yeah.

02:12 I mean, traditional marriage is kind of like old school now.

02:14 So--

02:15 So--

02:15 Beautiful.

02:16 --let's spice it up a little bit.

02:17 You want the traditional vibe?

02:19 Perhaps.

02:20 Mm-hmm.

02:21 Somebody can take this little load off of me.

02:23 OK.

02:24 Let's--

02:24 We love it.

02:25 --do it all.

02:25 OK.

02:28 She said, I don't need to do everything.

02:30 I know.

02:30 And I hear you there.

02:31 I'm not mad at all.

02:32 Like, why are we carrying all this weight on our shoulders

02:35 as Black women, as women?

02:37 Ooh.

02:38 What is one thing you can do to simplify your life?

02:42 Delegation, asking for help.

02:43 Yeah, asking for help.

02:45 And maybe starting to say no.

02:47 You know, I hear you.

02:47 But saying no can be real difficult.

02:49 It takes a strong person to say no.

02:52 - Yeah, but saying "no" can be simple.

02:54 - With a period on the end, just say "no."

02:56 - Not a comma.

02:57 - It's just that simple.

02:58 - Love!

03:00 - Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi...
