All sorts of goings on . . North meets South.
Em and Maxi discussed Maxi's recent work as a traveling celebrant, including a Nigerian wedding she had performed over the weekend, and her upcoming ceremonies scheduled for the following day. Maxi shared her fitness routine and plans to lose weight, while Em discussed her goal to train for a marathon next year. They talked about various personal topics including Maxi's challenging year marked by significant events including a violent incident with a neighbor, her being sacked from a job in May 2021, and her upcoming travel plans to Norfolk and other locations. The conversation also covered broader topics like world events, conspiracy theories, and lifestyle changes, with Maxi planning to live in a camper van and potentially move to Sicily where she could purchase a house for €1.
Maxi shared details about conducting a Nigerian wedding ceremony over the weekend, noting the cultural aspects and the couple's religious preferences, which influenced the event's atmosphere. Maxi also reflected on a request to deliver a sermon but declined, citing concerns about not being able to do it justice.
Em discussed her recent running experience and plans to train for next year's marathon, inspired by watching the London Marathon on Instagram. She shared her previous experience running Brighton marathon, where she encountered difficulties in the second half.
Maxi discussed starting a new home exercise routine following Caroline Griffin and Cheryl Couloimbé, completing five 30-minute full-body workouts so far. Maxi shared her positive experience with the workouts, noting how they left her with sore legs after the first session. The conversation then shifted to a discussion about yoga philosophy and the concept of taking only what is needed, with Em and Maxi exploring the balance between not being wasteful and being generous.
Maxi shared several significant personal anniversaries, including getting married in April and being attacked by a neighbor a year ago. The neighbor punched Maxi in the face after forcing entry into their home, and Maxi later learned the attacker had a criminal record. Maxi discussed their decision not to pursue legal action against the neighbor, noting that the attacker's partner was aware of and seemingly supportive of the violent behavior. Emily offered to help Maxi process these traumatic memories through EMDR and NLP techniques, which she had found effective in reducing the intensity of similar experiences.
Maxi and Em discussed disturbing videos and reports about modern slavery and pedophile rings in America, including efforts to rescue children. They also talked about strange phenomena captured on social media, including shape-shifting trees and ancient wall paintings. The conversation then shifted to the debate about flat earth theory, with Em sharing an anti-flat earth argument about sunsets. Finally, they discussed the UK Prime Minister's ability to control the Labour Party, speculating about potential dirt he might have on them.
Maxi and Em discussed concerns about euthanasia laws in various countries, particularly in the Netherlands and Canada, expressing opposition to lowering age requirements and making the process more accessible. Maxi shared details about their garden, including various vegetables and crops they've grown, and mentioned plans to develop an app that would help travelers find local food sources. The conversation concluded with Maxi needing to end the call due to low battery.
