ght what I'm saying is it's awesome that I as a woman I couldn't do this a hundred years ago trust  me I said in another podcast we're almost done with peeky blinders and the women in that show are  treated like garbage and I always say to Tom I'm like I'm so H I wouldn't have stood a chance back  then so it's cool that things are changing things are also going back but all we got to do is we  got to stick together power is a numbers I got you girls you got me we're doing it all right okay  so t

he traveling stories I mean you guys the point of this podcast is I want to share stories I want  to share your stories this is a I want this to be like a conversation at some point I would love  to get maybe like a voice mail like a number so you guys can call call in cuzz that would feel  a lot more conversational I feel like but the past couple episodes I'm like eh I don't know I'm  talking I'm talking a lot about myself which is you know a part of this podcast it is my podcast  but at the sa

me time I'm like I want to help you girls so I wanted to Pivot the episodes for the  rest of the month dedicated to women and to you girls and I created a Google form and it's always  going to be in my link tree which will always be in my bio on my Tik Tok on my Instagram even on  my YouTube and in the description in Spotify too like you'll find my link tree right you know  how to do that right I shouldn't have to say this anyway there'll always be a Google form  in there for you to write in eve

ry episode I'll always have a prompt kind of asking a question  for the next episode for example the Google form right now has the question who would be in your  dream blunt rotation girls only I post posted a get ready with me video um in honor of Women's  National Women's History Day what whoa hello so I posted it last Friday of women's hisory what  national women's history day I don't [ __ ] know basically I said like 10 women that I would love  to dream blunt rotation with like my dream blun

t rotation women only women that have inspired me  women that are part of my culture like Samoan women and Filipino women I'll put that video down  in in the description if you guys want to check it out and get some inspiration I picked a lot of  funny women I picked Drew ala Walo Jason alalo her sister so the aalo sisters Britney brosi I said  Tina Fay Amy polar I said Chelsea Lyn and pig Jin from the viral podcast I said Heather McMahon from  the absolutely not podcast and she's a comedian I s

aid like Shay Mitchell and Olivera Rodrigo  because they're Filipino I said Kiki Palmer I said Sia so I want to go through your guys' dream  blunt rotation so right in the Google form is in my link tree you can find it in my bio on my  Instagram that's probably the easiest way to get to it or on my Tik Tok but I mean I think a  lot of you girls are from my Instagram so let me know type in there and then there's also questions  about things you want to talk about on the podcast there's a question

about what do you need advice  on dating friendship life work so just I want to hear from you guys because the more stories we get  the more I'm not just here blabbing about myself we can like actually help each other and this can  be a conversation rather than me just like la la la la la I got drunk in Australia and I hated it  and then I met Tom so yeah check out the Google form a few of you girls have filled it out so I'm  going to get to that in bit that's like the whole topic of today is w

hat you girls have written in  so we're going to move on to Chelsea's jointers of the week and today we got three winners and  the reason why we got three winners is because three of you girls wrote in and I love you so  much for it you know sometimes when you ask an audience to do something no one replies or no one  responds and I know three doesn't sound like much but that is so much more than it was what 20  episodes ago I feel like 20 episodes ago I'd be like okay like comment or blah blah b

lah or let  me know and I would get no responses and I would get so down I'd be like oh my gosh this is like  what am I doing this for but basically three of you wrote in and that's why we're going to talk  about your questions because I asked you girls on Instagram right into the podcast and three  of you girls did Chelsea's join TS of the week are Cecilia yay and the second one is Samantha  yay and then the third one hey she won it last week it's Alicia Alicia you're you're my number  one girl

I think just kidding I'm not ranking but I'm just saying those are the Chelsea jointers  of the week to IIA Samantha and Alicia again because you girls are engaging with the podcast  and um when you engage that that's what shows a lot of Brands and companies like hey this girl is  worth sponsoring and this girl is worth you know giving money to and that's how I make my money I  post another get ready with me about more about my production company more about what I'm doing  here I'm gonna do a l

ot more videos like that where I kind of explain to you guys what I'm doing  like I'm not just a girl I am just a girl putting videos on the internet I've always wanted to do  this as my career is produce content and I know that sounds so weird and I don't want to become  an influencer but this is my production company Chelsea's joint the podcast Chelsea's joint  Instagram and Tik Tok you know and YouTube it's it's more it's I guess my brand if you guys  want to call it that and maybe it could t

urn into something more so when you girls engage it shows  other people and other companies who are willing to fund my production company so we can just do  cooler and better amazing things so thank you so much Cecilia Samantha and Alicia and we're going  to go into strain of the day strain of the day I think it was a mix cuz I think there was two in  the grinder and I used the Bas and bubbler by MJ Arsenal didn't ad with them and uh I hope I hope  I work with them again the post I did with them

I mean they did okay I have a weird feeling they'll  be like oh like it was nice working sometimes you guys if I post an ad and like no one engages with  it these Brands don't want to work with me again of course because they're like why would we work  with you again you we paid you money and you're and you got like no and you know what I mean  that's the game so that's why you just got to keep going strain of the day was grape gasoline  and sugarcoat grape gasoline is an indicia and sugarcoat

is a sativa so we got two we got two  different kinds but let's be real it's all just weed if you guys want to know like more about like  weed the plant um I'll put her name but her name is like cannabis chem or something I'll I'll put  her name somewhere but she just started following me and I start I followed her on Tik Tok ages  ago because she's I think she's a scientist you guys and she talks about weed so smart and so much  better than I ever could so if you guys actually want to learn abo

ut the plant yeah I'll put her  name on the screen or something and uh go check her out cuz she's freaking sick and she's smart  and a scientist and one day I hope I smoke Weir with her what I love this week and what I hate  this week what I love woman's history month and just and just being a woman even though I can  complain about being a woman the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion and what I hate is feeling  like I don't really have time I guess no they'll all there I have to remind myself

this all the  time is like nature I know this is like so woo woo but if you guys follow my Instagram and my  Tik Tok you guys know I love the outdoors I love getting outside I Love Weed so I kind of think  in these like spiritual ways and something I think is like like nature never rushes you know  Seasons come and they go and and it is what it is like you know what I mean like nature just  always figures it out so I'll always figure it out I just think I can get overwhelmed with like  the bran

d deals that I do I know this is like I'm not complaining you guys it just it's on me to  figure out my schedule as a self-employed person and if you're self-employed or I don't know if you  relate to this then you get it but when you are in control control of your own schedule and very  much in control of like your income meaning like I don't have a set income I have to continue to  Output my videos to get income which is hey this is what I signed up for I get it but sometimes  I can be like I

wish there was like five more of me so hopefully one day in the Chelsea's joint  production team there can be an editor one day that would be awesome just one it's the video  editing that kind of that get it's toppled so let me know what you love and what you hate this  week please down in the comments let's just see what Cecilia loves and hates this week now that  we're on the topic she said I love that spring is blooming right now in front of my face I love  watching life being being life and

realizing the circle of life just daily wow I I feel like that's  just what I said that's why I love you girls you girls just get it we just get each other I go  on walks every day and it is cool and I highly suggest going on walks every day and if you're  around like an area with trees and bushes I always observe that of like what's budding is there  flowers and it is cool to see I agree what she hates I hate how drastically your period or cycle  messes with your weekly goals routines and want

to learn more about it I want to conquer it totally  I fall victim to it I even posted a video lot of you girls commented and engaged with it and stuff  and I fall victim to it and so many of your girls were like you should just embrace it you need to  learn how to live with it and all this stuff and you right so maybe I'll do an episode about  the menal cycle and I know that seems like ew some people might be like ew gross but it's like  wait we're women happy women's history month we should le

arn about our bdes right comment down  below you know let me know if that's something you want to learn about on the YouTubes comment  down below and engage with the Spotify thing when you ride in the Spotify Samantha what she loves  this week is spring break spring break I've only seen that movie once and I don't remember it and  I'll probably never watch it what does she hate girl friendships Zoes um EES bro girl friendships  which I totally get cuz we've talked about that a few times here on

Chelsea's joint so let's just  get into it because she actually has a situation that I find very interesting and let's learn more  so this is from like I said Samantha this is what she needs advice on is friendships and she said  girl friendships are hard I have a situation I've always been the type of girl that prefers hanging  out with guys because the conversation has always been genuine and easy to have I grew up with  brothers and I didn't have a close relationship with my mom oh then of co

urse do you feel so much  safer around men dude I I'm the ex opposite I feel really uncomfortable around men and I feel really  comfortable around women which is interesting and I have a really close relationship with my mom  and I don't have a relationship with my dad so du wow isn't this crazy how your upbringing and  like your relationship with your parents and your family really builds who you are as a person  when I say that out loud it's like duh duh but um it just interesting just differe

nt households  shape different people hey and that's life baby now that I'm in a long-term relationship I'm  respectful towards my boyfriend and I've been a little forced to have girlfriends for the sake  of his peace yikes oh boy see I've never been in this situation so this is why you girl girls we  need to help Samantha in the comments however I had a bad experience with girls in the past  we usually fall apart without saying anything or I get ghosted unfriended randomly I've always  been the

one that puts in more effort and received nothing back hey girl been there it has really  hurt me a lot knowing that I would never leave my friend sides no matter what they were going  through in life but when I was going through it no one was there for me now I have made new  friends but I feel like I'm on high alert around my girlfriends yeah I don't have fun around them  I feel like they like to talk about things I don't care about or do am I my head looking for things  girls doing wrong sin

ce I have Trauma from girls what am I doing wrong or am I simply surrounding  myself with the wrong girls I think that last sentence probably answered all of your questions  Samantha or am I simply surrounding myself with the wrong girls Isn't that cool that you wrote all  of that in I hope she's watching and then in the end you like answered your own question that's why  I think writing things down with the pen or paper or you girls writing to me that was beautiful  because in the end she just

answered her own question Samantha sweetheart and I say sweetheart  in the best way I call Tom sweetheart I love you [ __ ] you're hanging out with the wrong girls  and that's okay and I was hanging out around the wrong girls for so long and this is why this  community of Chelsea joint is so beautiful is because you're you're in this community because  you know that if you probably hung out with me or other girls in this community you would feel so  loved and welcomed and we could just smoke a j

oy and we would just have a giggle the girls you're  hanging out with I don't know are you what are you guys doing are you guys just like going out to get  food and then getting drunk and then everyone just is hammered and doesn't remember anything would  love to learn more context I do have friends in real life who I love I just know that if I were to  meet like a lot of the like weed content creators that I follow and they follow me if I were to  meet them in real life I know I would probably

feel so much more connected to those women because  we already share weed in common we already share that we do content creation a lot of like things  we're doing in our daily life and probably think very similarly as well and share the same values  and beliefs I think you just need to obviously meet new girls and that can be exhausting I admit  I'm not the best at it I am not the best at it I would say you know Bumble BFF and if you're just  so burnt out from hanging out with girls hang out wit

h your boyfriend and maybe see if you guys  can make like can you be friends with his friends that can get messy that can get messy especially  if like one of them like falls in love with you we don't want that Sam we don't want that I would  have a conversation with the boyfriend and say hey these girls aren't working out for me I'm more  comfortable hanging out with guys I want to be respectful can we hang out with your friends and  just me to me doesn't seem weird but then you have to be care

ful like if his friends are weird and  again you don't want one of his friends to fall in love with you and then something weird happened  it's all about communication definitely lean on your partner I mean if he's a great partner that's  what he's there for I talked to Tom all the time about my shitty friendships and he was like girl  those aren't the people for you they are bringing you down and I was like you right you right Sam  also said she wants me to talk about do real girl friendships e

xist on the podcast I'm going to come  back to you girls because my hope and I like to speak things into existence that I get to meet a  lot of weed content creators in the next like year or so if I don't become like actual friends with  some of these like weed content creators then I'll be like okay am I the problem because I should  become friends with these girls hopefully so do real girl friendships exist TB D and of course  like don't take everything I say like to heart you know all right S

amantha thank you for writing  in that was like fun that was like really fun that's why I want you girls to write in so it's  about you guys and it's so I'm not blabbering about myself this is from Cecilia I kind of  said like what women inspire you and she said Amy hag wow that is a name Amy hagstrom Miller  the CEO of my company she's Relentless always fighting for women to have reproductive Freedom  that they deserve a freaking man a freaking man Amy hagstrom Miller I'll just copy and paste t

hat  into Google and then I'll put a pick picky of Amy because we're all about women Reproductive Rights  because it's our body our choice baby every woman National whatever advice that Cecilia needs how do  you drop people from your life I can never break up with a boyfriend or friend I don't want to be  mean but also I don't want them in my life anymore oh boy so you're dating someone you don't want  that sucks here's the thing since I've only had a like a couple boyfriends serious boyfriends

one of  them dumbed me and the other was like Mutual like we were like we hated each other so much we were  like we need to stop so I honestly have never been in that situation where I need to break up with a  boyfriend but girl the longer it's it's festering and the longer you stick in those relationships  the worse it's going to be go listen or watch to episode what was it 22 or something where mine was  like heartbreak to glow up or whatever because I I glue the [ __ ] up after my toxic relat

ionship  so I just have a feeling that if you dump this guy that your life is just going to get better  and it's hard and it sucks but being honest with people is uh you just got to do that otherwise  you'll be miserable same with friendships cuz you said that you have friends in your life that  you don't want anymore cut it off girl you got to cut it off and I know that sucks and how I did it  is I voice memoed these um my old friends and I was like I can't do this anymore and they both  texted

back being like we're kind of surprised and disappointed but we you know good luck and  that was it haven't talked to them since hold on there's a [ __ ] motorcycle okay this is so  mean but I hope his tires pop right like why are you being so loud that guy's going to freaking get  I'm going to punch him in the back in his freaking helmet how do you draw people from your life okay  so I voice memoed those girls and I explained it I think in there's so many episodes in episode 19  and 20 and epi

sode like three about my friendship breakups and stuff I voic M with them they both  were like wow but they both were like were like sad but we totally I guess understand I mean it's  your life like you choose who you get to hang out with remember that you choose who you get to hang  out with you have a choice and if you're hanging out with people you don't like or people you don't  love or people who don't make you feel good that's on you and if it's like family I know that's  hard cuz like may

be you live with them they're a sibling they're your parent or something that's  harder but with friends and boyfriends you choose to be around those people so you should choose  to stop hanging out with them and it's hard and it might feel lonely but just know you'll grow  from it and it'll be better for you in the long run okay I hope that helps Cecilia and she said  oh she she asked where is Tom from and how did you guys decide to go back to Washington and the  easiest way to move to Washingt

on because it's so beautiful so Tom is from England I explained  that in episode what 23 what episode is this when did I explain that in episode 24 some episode  it's it's titled like how I met my husband or whatever I think oh no it's titled my unexpected  backpacking love story that's how I met Tom he's from England but we met Australia I know it's  all confusing trust me I don't get it either the world's crazy and how did we decide to go to  Washington I am born and raised in Washington this

is my home how did we decide yeah Washington's  just beautiful in terms of like stuff Tom and I like to do we like to go hiking we like to go  Outdoors so that Washington gave us more of the opportunity than like England would at least in  my opinion easiest way to move here I think just like move here I don't know I'm just lucky that  I was born here so I'm like very familiar with the area I don't know depends where you're from  it could be a pretty expensive state if you're moving from like th

e Midwest like I don't know if  places like Kansas are cheap I'm not sure but I have heard like Washington is really expensive so  save re like just keep looking at like Apartments um I'm assuming you might be R like if you were  toet move here you'd rent just keep looking at the market prices for renting apartments if you  have the money to buy you know hop on Zillow I I don't know what your financial situation is but  just kind of keep in mind like an amount you'd want to save an amount you'd

feel comfortable  with coming to Washington that's what I did traveling to Australia my goal was 10K and I saved  like six and wish I saved 10 so just have a goal keep looking at the housing market keep looking  at like Google like Town best towns to live in in Washington if that's something you're really  interested in wow we're flying through these These are freaking fun this is from a home  girl Alicia she asked favorite Essentials to bring while traveling toothbrush toothbrush on the  plane

Tom and I fly Comfort Plus on Delta so they actually like give us the mini toothbrush which  I know is not environmentally friendly but like just just I need a toothbrush so I can freaking  brush my teeth I hate when my mouth feels dirty I went to the dentist a couple weeks ago cavity free  baby I just hate having like a dirty gross mouth you guys will know that from the episode where I  react to your guys's dating horror stories please watch that episode that one is like probably my  favorite C

helsea's joint episode and one of you guys said something about halosis that is my worst  feeling is like when I know I have like stank [ __ ] breath so toothpaste like a mini toothpaste  and a toothbrush sometimes the airplanes will give them to you if you're like in first class or  um comfort blast or something more socks and underwear than you think you need sometimes you  like go out traveling during the day and then you come back and then I don't know you just want to  like shower and then

change into new underwear and socks so more songs in underwear than you think  you need a hat I know I know these are just kind of like I don't know the these seem might seem  weird to people but I sometimes feel like really ugly when I'm traveling so if I just have a hat  perfect sunscreen specifically when I went to Australia New Zealand cuz they have like no ozone  there it's weird it's weird you guys I don't know there's like no ozone down there so oh my God  I was so taned but I know that m

e being down there cuz I'm so much better with sunscreen now I  I don't think I really wore sunscreen until like I really started burning there the first time I ever  really burned was living in Australia and I was like wa and I learned my lesson so some sunscreen  especially if you're going somewhere sunny but I wear sunscreen like every day even if it's not  Sunny this is really random but like a na either a nail file or nail clippers because if you're  traveling especially when you're backpac

king like I just just want to feel clean cuz some days  you don't shower some days especially during van life like Tom and I were like we don't  know when we're going to shower next just just things to kind of keep you clean and then  also hand sanitizer and then like antibacterial wipes I know antibacterial wipes aren't really  environmentally friendly but dude when you're living in a van when you're solo traveling when  you don't know when the next shower is going to be you want to wipe so tha

t that's just kind of  toothbrush toothpaste more socks and iies than you need then you think you need wipes sunscreen  maybe a good face wash just stuff to kind of freshen you up and a hat cuz you're going to look  ugly or you're going to feel and look you're going to feel like you look ugly cuz you're just like I  don't know things get ugly so just freaking bring it hot questions about van life scary stories how  did you stay safe how was your guys' diets diets was literally just oatmeal and i

nstant noodles  we didn't even have a cooler I told this to Tom the other day and this is like TMI my stomach  was like a rock we occasionally would like go to the grocery store and get like hummus and  spinach and like a baguette and we'd eat the whole bag of spinach in one sitting cuz we were  we were craving like fresh vegetables we would eat bananas and apples cuz those were easy to travel  with without a cooler but yeah that was our diets oatmeal with peanut butter and apples or bananas  ev

ery morning sometimes we'd get rice and beans beans we would buy a lot of like granola bars at  the store too but we didn't have a cooler so very little fresh veggies and we got we got fruit  I feel like but very little fresh veggies my stomach dude felt like it was a rock and I was  so happy when we got a fridge and could eat like vegetables again it was but it I don't know  it we did that for like two and a half months I haven't told you guys about New Zealand yet  cuz like I said I didn't wan

t you guys to get Bor but if you guys want me to talk about New  Zealand let me know comments let me know blah blah blah how did you stay safe you guys living in  a van in New Zealand is so common every campsite we went to sometimes we would sleep in parking  lots sounds weird but there was always tons of other people doing band life too so we just felt  like we were part of like a community of people doing it and I just somehow always felt safe so  yeah I mean I don't know how it is now that wa

s back in 2016 and wait 2017 so things could  have changed you guys I'm not sure it was so safe then it New Zealand was the safest country  I had ever been to it felt great and there's no guns in Australia no guns in New Zealand because  they had one shooting I believe and after that one shooting in Australia they banned guns hey  that's kind of interesting that it only took one there anyway and again I don't want to I'm not  look one day if Tom and I ever Travel America which like I kind of rea

lly want to cuz like  why not I'm like in one of the most beautiful countries in the world like the national parks we  have here in America it's just like I need to see them so that's actually kind of in the works  behind the scenes you guys so I I don't want to say much I'll let you guys know when things are  booked and planned all right Alicia shared a story she traveled to Michigan to North Carolina she  traveled from Michigan to North Carolina during a rough time met a lot of people but can

viive  with them lots of toxicity and bad habits amen girl that's how she met her boyfriend he was a  narcissist oh my goodness she was stuck doing shitty jobs while he was mooching off his parents  she left him and moved back home but I loved my solo time getting the experience out of state  totally now I enjoy my solo hikes near my house around my state and loving life as a solo soon  to be 30-year-old woman I love you Alicia yeah sometimes when you go traveling it can just  you just have to b

e like you know what this wasn't for me and that's okay you can't predict  what's going to happen especially when you fall into like toxic relationships I'm so happy  you got out of it my love and I'm so happy you're back home and you're safe and you're  around family and I love you we're going to wrap it up but right into the podcast the Google  form will always be in the link tree it is like the top link I believe and the prompt for next  episode is who's in your dream blunt rotation girls onl
