Couple Things | Justin and Emily Baldoni

[@mmaolisae3675]

Wow that's the first conversation where I was surprised when it was over. I could have listened for another hour. Yes please for part two!! 🖤🖤

[@AllThingsMoneyandTech]

I think a lot of people do work hard in dating, but they don’t realize it’s work because the goal is to win the person. Once they have the person in marriage, it’s like they give up on working because they feel they have the prize, they don’t need to.

[@catherineroberts1643]

You are so right

[@ZachDift-kc4nk]

Yeah imo I think its bc it’s not even about the person they’re to “win” over and marry - it’s about all the things that that person represents. Like the person they’re trying to win might represent some form of security, validation, power, status, social class, etc. dor example, if a guy is chasing after a beautiful woman then in reality, what he might be chasing after could be the social status that comes from him being seen with a beautiful woman by his side or the validation he feels like he gets knowing that the woman every other man wants picked him over all her other options. With women - maybe if she’s trying to win over the player that the other girls in her social group also want, she might be seeking an ego boost or feeling validated about her desirability knowing that she was that one special woman who was picked by a dude over all the other women that she was competing with for his commitment. The problem then becomes that in a way, the person being chased and “won” over is just being used by the person trying to win them. It’s like a form of objectification. It’s like say you need to use an otherwise useless token in order to buy some food - the token itself is not valuable to you but rather it’s what the token buys you (ie food that you need to survive) that you value. So if they suddenly said this token can no longer get you any food and you are now starving, that token is no longer something you particularly care about or value - it’s now useless to you. People need to learn about the importance of intentions and always question themselves on what their intentions are and that always takes a lot of self reflection and self awareness if you are truly being honest to yourself about why you are doing the things you’re doing.

[@shereeglasson22]

Yes. This is objectification. It sees the other person as an acquisition and rather than an independent person with their own hopes, needs and dreams. The challenge is to keep the two people in a constant dance where each honours the others’ needs while deepening their connection with their own. ❤

[@myerssarah426]

I think this was my favorite Couple Things interview yet!

[@kathleengates]

What an enlightened discussion!! We’d all be better humans if we chose this type of genuine communication based on active listening. Powerful interview! Thank you!

[@meganpingel2081]

Definitely would love to hear a part two on this! Such a great conversation!

[@stephanierios1433]

Love Zen Rafael! Thank you for bringing him on. I’ve been wanting to read his book so bad!

[@livquin8557]

I have been binge watching all of your content for over 2 months now, and there's always amazing take aways (even as a single parent), this is one of my favorite interviews, keep it up East Fam!

[@katlynnoltmann4946]

I absolutely love Justin Baldoni!!!!

[@marianpappas1647]

Me too. Since jane the virgin I have seen his podcasts. Love Emily she is a TrueQueen❤❤❤❤

[@catherineroberts1643]

Shawn and Andrew I just want to say thank you for bringing this podcast to us because everytime you guys get in to these discussions and I think you can't top that one there's another that blows my mind like the discussion with this couple and let me tell you I have learn a lot and also improve myself.So keep doing a great job 👍

[@merylparks1584]

Love this man and his new movie with Blake lively, I went through that and he touched on domestic violence in such a different way, it showed how hard it is to get away because of how much you love someone and don’t want to go but have to and I loved what she said to him about their daughter , master piece

[@reallifeyoruichi7186]

thanks a million, these are conversations that seem to come so rarely outside the virtual world.

[@amurp097]

What an incredible episode! I watch all of your podcast and this has been by far my favourite one yet! They radiate light and wisdom.

[@alleriescanlan8283]

I love the cold water thing. The hard work is necessary and produces such beautiful stuff!

[@elliefpierce]

Wow, what an awesome episode! I loved everything that they had to share!

[@merylparks1584]

At 13 I had boys trying to get your bathing suit top off and I was a shy girl and it made me feel like hiding myself and I thought why are they doing this to me and it kept happening to where I retreated into myself, and it stays with you throughout your life, so a change on how we raise our sons just need to change so thank you for generations of girls to come who may be respected That’s a powerful statement Justin I needed to love her the way Emily wanted to be loved, WOW!!

[@marianpappas1647]

Love both Justin and Emily.love his podcasts❤❤❤

[@kellydugan8109]

I'm reading Justin's book now. Passing it on to my son!

[@brandilassiter6271]

Love the Baldoni's!

[@Teddypup08]

This was really amazing. Thank you!

[@luguy8347]

Isn’t Justin and Emily extremely special…..Profound subject. We are human first before we are male or female. Humanity first. Great books, he has one for Boys Are Human. I hope this weaves into our culture.

[@amberalexus588]

This was a beautiful conversation!

[@merylparks1584]

This book is much needed in a world that puts men down so much , can we clone him

[@imscanon]

I've adored this man for so long, he's perfection inside and out. This was a great interview. They look to be a solid couple. As for best first dates, go miniature golfing. You learn a lot about them and it's low pressure and easy conversation. Do they cheat? Grandstand? Too competitive? Encouraging or snarky? Good winner or loser? It tells you so much and there's no alcohol and a lot of witnesses (but not too near). It's safe and perfect. LOL By the time it's over you have 6 mos worth of knowledge on them crammed into a few hours. Good time saver if they are an idiot. LOL

[@merylparks1584]

These two were meant to be for sure

[@sleepnomore6065]

how so? I just started the vid

[@ChristinaGrace05]

suuuch insightful perspectives! I really enjoyed this one

[@lilitogo5126]

Justin’s Wife Acted with my cousin Jon Togo in a movie that’s where I new her from love y’all’s podcast

[@hannahb.2433]

My Jane the Virgin fangirl is coming out omg

[@carolynsimmons3987]

My question would be, what if you are the only one in the marriage who is willing t explore the the why, the reason, the experience of growing together?

[@thehills1042]

That's the 1 thing I've always noticed about this kind of Advice it only works if Every other couple was Exactly like them. I've been around couples that act like this and then leave and forget something and turn around and go back and hear them screaming at each other on the way to the front door and then once I'm in inside it's back to the perfect couple

[@ironeaglesoars]

justin is the type of dude who would start a cult

[@karinhedman6903]

YES. In a very bad way🚩🚩🚩

[@NewAgeNewLife]

Like a real narcissist…just read about it…

[@blahblahh7249]

great interview but you have this wrong the guest need to have the larger screen the guests

[@gypsycat11]

I love Ojai/Santa Barbara, but how do you stand the commute to Hollywood?😊

[@OhKatherineeeex3]

this is SO EXCITING

[@AdrianaHernandez-zr9gd]

@ 43 minutes I had Justine in my ear and I took a cold plunge 🥶 he sold it to me! Let's see what this physical cold plunge is all about! Let's goooo

[@societybye7166]

He really needs to left his wife speak it comes off self absorbed

[@wildhorses6817]

Allergies :. I take freeze dried Stinging Nettles by Eclectic Institute 💙

[@ironeaglesoars]

he talks over his wife constantly

[@gaila.9852]

None of his interviews are aging well.

[@karinhedman6903]

Agree. The narcissism is so evident😬🫣🚩🚩🚩

[@gaila.9852]

@ I read the lawsuit, and I am shocked and disappointed. I don’t keep up with Justin much, but I watched and loved JTV and was happy to see him thriving in his industry. I never would’ve expected this behavior from him.

[@manofiske3318]

"white sisgender dude" Oh, for God's Sake

[@karenhastey8360]

Who thinks Almighty God is a white bearded guy in the sky? That comment was absurd.

[@happilydivorcedtherapistnosi]

Many people do actually, especially in Africa where colonialist presented God as such.

[@bryannicholes9319]

The long-term option consecutively analyse because edge incidentally wriggle among a super roadway. accurate, supreme foundation

[@sharonarntson3648]

Emily has very angry issues

[@luguy8347]

I disagree, she’s a strong woman with her own voice and a beautiful soul. Look into their religion Baha’i, it all about love and loving others. They’re very special people.

[@luguy8347]

She’s from Sweden. She’s pretty soft considering.

[@karinhedman6903]

Justins narcissistic traits are so evident in hindsight. Emily wants to see the good in people - bless her🫶🏻

[@NewAgeNewLife]

Right? Even the way he takes up the space at the beginning in the camera and leaves her fading away in the background….there’s just so much that is triggering to me that I can’t understand how other people don’t see it….
