SPEAKERS

Majandra Delfino, Kulap Vilaysack, SuChin Pak, Janet Varney

SuChin Pak  00:11

Hey everyone, welcome to another fine episode of ADD TO CART. Now this is a show about the things we buy, all the stuff we buy into what we’re obsessed with and what they say about who we are. I’m SuChin Pak.

Kulap Vilaysack

And I’m Kulap Vilaysack. This week we have two hilarious informative, insightful and overall amazing women on the show. It’s in addition to us, but I agree with you.

SuChin Pak 

Yes, of course. Of course.

Kulap Vilaysack 

However, one of them is a familiar voice we have doctor MD, Majandra Delfino  in from the field to tell us what she wish she knew in her 20s.

SuChin Pak 

That’s right but before doctor MD we have another special guest, Ku, will you do the honors?

Kulap Vilaysack 

My pleasure. Add to Carter’s perk your ears up for this comedian, actor, writer and producer, you may have heard her as Korra on Nickelodeon, The Legend of Korra or as the host of multiple podcasts including the JV club, or maybe you’ve seen her as EV in the comedy horror stand against evil or becca on you’re the worst from FX If not, you’ll want to check out the work that this beautiful woman does, especially as the co-founder of San Francisco sketch Fest, which showcases SF comedy every year and what you don’t know as she and I went to two heart astrological retreats in Ohio together please welcome Janet Varney.

Janet Varney 

A sun and Aquarius moon in, oh no, I’ve already forgotten. Moon and Virgo. No? Is that right? And Leo rising and Leo rising?

SuChin Pak  02:11

It was those jello shots that Kulap passes out.

Kulap Vilaysack 

No, that was a different thing.

SuChin Pak

Okay, okay. My imaginations she just always passing out jelly. I don’t know.

Kulap Vilaysack 

That’s fair. That’s fair. That’s fair. That is my personality.

Janet Varney 

That was a great fun and strange and the first one that we would did came at such a key point in my life it was so important for me and the second one I think I was like way more distracted and possibly also in a really weird time in my life and I could have benefited from it and I was more in the space of like, I don’t know I’m just, I don’t know this is fun. Do personal work do self-work. I don’t feel like it this weekend. I don’t know. You don’t know. You don’t always know what mood you’re gonna be in when you make commitment like that. You know?

SuChin Pak 

No, until someone poses the question. How are you? And then the truth. You know, there it is just sitting in front of you. It was so what is this is, is this like a retreat where it’s a combination of fill in the blanks guys help me out.

Janet Varney 

A combination of me taking my bike with me because I was so avid of a cyclist that I took my bike and grabbed an hour by myself and then fell off my bike and came back, like covered in scratches and bruises. I can’t remember if that was the first one or second one. It was a combination of that, Ku?

Kulap Vilaysack

Yes. And then also it was a woman’s retreat like 18 women, 18 to 20 women together exploring what the fuck is going on with them presently and historically, through the lens of astrology. So there was poetry. It was embodying each other signs. It was breathing.

SuChin Pak  04:04

I need one of those.

Janet Varney 

If you’ve taken any theater in school, you’re more prepped than you might be otherwise because there’s definitely some, there was exercises in there that I was like, I definitely remember being a freshman in high school and being like, I tested into advanced drama.

Kulap Vilaysack 

So Janet, tell us about just a what type of shopper are you?

Janet Varney

Boy, I think I am at the age now where I remember being a much younger but even also, like there seems like some kind of calendar like you see in a movie where a days are just flipping by something like that happen and like there was just one day where it flipped. And then all of a sudden I entered into a different echelon of my experience as a buyer or in my experience as in the sort of things I already have. department like he just seemed so abrupt that I went from being someone who was like, you know, like, Oh, I do love to you know, get a new little new outfit or you know, we’d go to a vintage store like yes, I plan all my trips around vintage stores because then I can just find where one is and then walk the distance there and see everything in between.

Kulap Vilaysack 

I’ve been shopping with you in Portland, in fact, where I got a, a fallen moose antler.

SuChin Pak 

Could anything be more Portland than that?

Kulap Vilaysack 

And then I had to like ask like, a comedian to drive it back because I couldn’t take it on the plane, it was too big.

SuChin Pak 

Like when you talk about on brand, every step of the way.

Janet Varney 

She could have gotten an artisanal act. But my point is like, I still enjoy that sort of, but now that really is more of a mechanism like I don’t go I don’t start that walk across the streets of wherever, thinking to myself like oh, maybe I’ll find a really cool old Pendleton flannel. Also very Portland, also something I found in Portland. Now I’m just like, oh, I don’t know. I just I’m fine. Fine. I have. I have a lot of clothes. I don’t think I need you know. And so that’s now I’m connecting with when I pass like adorable little old ladies who are still wearing their, like 70s polyester lime colored, like suits, their leisure suits and their little plastic little old lady sandals. You know, and I’m like, oh, that’s I don’t that they didn’t buy that new that’s just they froze in time and that’s their clothes. That’s gonna be me. Like whatever I have now. I’ll die in and that’s okay.

SuChin Pak  06:58

Well that’s an answer we haven’t heard on this show about buying things and being buried.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Well, what I’m also hearing too is like, if I know you, Janet, and you buy things of quality. And these are things that you have are things that could last until you die.

Janet Varney

Yeah. When the Marie Kondo thing happened nothing about that I didn’t need any of it. Do you know what I mean? People were like oh, this has blown my mind like of course I should only keep something that sparks joy and I’m like that’s correct. I wouldn’t have known to put it that way. Yes, she put it much more beautifully and yeah infused it with a spirit that I did not but yeah keep have that yep have don’t have too much and make sure what you have makes you feel happy and whimsical and the translation of that and Ku I know you can identify with this as well is that there are just a lot of like toys and things that would suggest that an eight-year-old lives in my house but really it’s just me getting my joy sparked.

SuChin Pak  08:00

I am so intrigued.

Janet Varney 

Like yeah, I needed this porcupine pillow, you know, so I can’t wait to get into this cart.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Let’s get into this cart. And the first thing we’re going to talk about is Papa and Barkley CBD THC one three balm.

SuChin Pak 

What is this?

Janet Varney 

Well and if that’s a sort of a dispensary locator I think it’s a company owned by women who sort of speaking of curating, curate items and then help you find the dispensary near you that carries it that keeps it in stock and stuff. Very smart thing that I heard Jane people did, but Papa & Barkley is based in California. And, listen I have tried a lot of CBD THC combo topicals I have a herniated disc in my neck it’s a constant problem. And this stuff is like for reals amazing.

SuChin Pak 

Okay, wait hold on because it’s cool and I love, love a good balm that is effective like this. So now I don’t think I’ve ever had a CBD balm with THC. Okay, so that combo. What is that about?

Janet Varney

The combo according to the people who know what they’re talking about. And then I am now quoting hopefully correctly, having THC mixed with CBD. If you were comfortable doing it, especially with the topical because there’s topicals that are just topicals and then there are topicals that are transdermal which you know they do your body does absorb the THC into your bloodstream, you may feel some kind of high. I went from like avoiding all pot in general after having like some very intense experiences as a young person. Smoking way too much of it and then just it became like every time I smoked it, it was an out of body experience that felt like you know, my heart was being crushed. So first I was too afraid of CBD. Then I gradually became less afraid of CBD and started trying more and more CBD products. And then somehow I was convinced by a very wonderful girl working at the Kline Center here in Los Angeles on Cahuenga. She was like I’m telling you it does not absorb, you will not feel high, but having that THC helps activate the CBD better than if it’s just CBD by itself and I will say I think that’s the case because I’ve again I’ve just tried so many different things and this to me is one of those things where you put it on and within five minutes you’re like oh my god okay like it sort of you just feel it it’s warm its but it’s not like a, like a non CBD THC topical it’s not like oh I put on a tasty freeze.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Okay, because normally what I do is I put tasty freeze all over my friend back.

SuChin Pak 

Wait, what is tasty freeze?

Janet Varney 

It’s muscle thing that’s like icy hot.

SuChin Pak 

I was like these girls are getting into stuff at this retreat.

Janet Varney 

Saw on it put a little tasty freeze on it.

SuChin Pak 

Let me get into this retreat where you’re just covering each other and ice cream.

Janet Varney 

You could tell I don’t use anything that is not this balm because I can’t even remember the difference between it and ice cream. Okay, it’s just because a lot of that is like menthol it just sort of feels like and it works in you can work and that you’re like oh, this menthol has fully distracted me from whatever I was feeling I don’t know that it’s doing anything other than just overpowering me with that, but this I really genuinely feel like I mean I can’t believe him to say this and also it I don’t know why I don’t pursue them so I can be sponsored on my podcast or something. I swear it feels like the Goddess Mother Earth is like wrap your arms around your neck it is crazy.

SuChin Pak  12:25

I tried to add to cart it is not available near me, Ku, I have to change my location to where you are.

Janet Varney 

Okay we got to get you some, we got to get you some.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Janet, I think you’re a Sagittarius there’s you have Sag in you.

Janet Varney 

I don’t, I mean wherever it is that’s probably true and might be like well..

Kulap Vilaysack

And why I bring that up is because you are the archer and with this balm you took aim and you hit Bullseye to SuChin Pak.

Janet Varney 

I didn’t know and I’m so glad

SuChin Pak 

No this is, this is speaking my language. I’m very excited to try this.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Let’s get into Dune Coffee Roasters. Is it specifically the Santa Rosa?

Janet Varney

It could be pretty much any blend but that happened to be the one that I just ordered. They’re in Santa Barbara I’m pretty sure that’s where they’re based.

SuChin Pak

I thought this looked really familiar.

Janet Varney

Yeah, it’s definitely out there but it’s still it’s still like a pretty small company. But I associated very positively with the feeling of going to Santa Barbara and I say that as person who’s only been there three times but like it that is a place where if you go on the right day and you dude feel like you needed to feel on vacation that is the city that kind of brings that to me it’s like oh and we started in this Airbnb kind of near the beach and then we walked everywhere and we saw other people on vacation and that made us feel even more like things were okay and it was the first place that we went you know, like within the pandemic at all. It was like the perfect day for the perfect day for me was it was extremely foggy. Chilly. This is summer. So hot day in LA go out to Santa Barbara like oof bundle up hearing the seagulls, it’s foggy. you’ve stumbled upon Dune Coffee Roasters and you go in and it’s just a wonderful coffee.

Janet Varney  14:28

I had a wonderful matcha latte with oat milk because I’m a white woman living in California. And it’s a beautiful they’d all their teas are really beautiful. And everyone working there was lovely and so I just associated so powerfully with a feeling of like, it’s okay. And then we had that experience where we’re like, I think we need to move to Santa Barbara. It was like the first person you date after a long relationship ends like we weren’t in our own beds for one night and we were like, I guess we should move here. This is heaven. And then the next day we’re like, I mean It’s a lot of like people yelling at each other for wearing or not wearing masks like we’re not gonna be escaping anything. There’s still, this is still very much a problem.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Well again, again Varney, you have […] another arrow you have let and you hit Santa Barbara wherein SuChin has escaped from LA, and lives there. She lives there.

SuChin Pak 

Started off, started off in an Airbnb.

Janet Varney 

Oh my god.

SuChin Pak 

Thinking it’s going to be three weeks. And then here we are.

Janet Varney 

I am so embarrassed that I didn’t already know that you were in Santa. I mean, I’m so happy that someone went and lived my dream.

SuChin Pak

I did it in the dead of night during a pandemic. I did it like that as I did both of my pregnancies But anyways, that’s the digression. And most people don’t know that I live in Santa Barbara. And I’m okay with that. That is intentional.

Janet Varney  16:07

I’m very happy to know that you’re so close to this place that I have such fond feelings for.

Kulap Vilaysack

And similarly she does not drink coffee but SuChin she’s already put in her head that when it’s gift time that she will be sending these out to people, this is already locked in.

Janet Varney 

It’s great coffee.

SuChin Pak 

That’s what I’m gonna do for this year and I’m thinking of doing a Santa Barbara theme. You know what I mean? That’s how I’m letting people know, I moved.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Such a great idea. Very good.

Janet Varney 

It’s wonderful.

Kulap Vilaysack 

And before we let you go; we have one more item the EVO Hemp brownie crunch bars. Buy it from the EVOs website.

Janet Varney

Yeah, listen, this is the thing this is one of those impulse buys in the grocery store when you’re like at the counter like oh, there’s a lot of protein bars out there and I don’t necessarily stick stand by any of them. I’ll get you know we’ll get like the I enjoy the like jalapeno almond kind barks it’s canceled surprise we’ll get the whole bite I think I might be trip like chipotle layer so there’s some kind of little spicy life but this one tastes and I put it in the freezer. And so that’s a shout out to my grandma who froze every single one of her sweets like she only wanted us something sweet if it was cold. It almost tastes like an ice cream cake or like astronaut ice cream. There’s it’s very kind of dense, it never gets so cold that you’re like oh I’m gonna get an ice cream headache. Probably because it’s full of delicious fat, wonderful hemp fat, I don’t know. It tells me that it’s good for me because it’s hemp. And so that is a this is a very good example of like, just a lady who’s like oh, I like brownies and now I am uncomfortable when I run out of them and they are no longer carried in those grocery stores. I never see them in any grocery store.

Janet Varney  18:10

So I have to buy direct and I had to pre order these hemp bars and I had a moment of panic, early in the summer like we all have during the pandemic and these moments where we’re like oh no don’t take this tiny thing away from me too. We’re all so devastated by everything please don’t take this tiny thing, and because you told me to love the small stuff and I now I do and now you’re taking that away and I was like this is happening all over again to me I always like the things that get discontinued because you’re at that kind bar I described it’s not long for this world that’s why you were both surprised to hear it existed they’re like no, no one wants it so you’re the only one ordering it done we don’t do that anymore. But the good news is that all they did was switch distributors so EVO or however you say it were they just were switched but I wrote them. I wrote them.

Janet Varney 

Hey guys, I haven’t seen these in any I haven’t seen them in a while and I’m on your website I’ve been checking back and it just says out of stock and I just want you to tell me the truth, are you guys to […] cuz I can take it I can dig it and they’re like they roll back immediately which adorable because again a small company and they were like oh no don’t worry we just switched distributors and interest taking them a while to get up and running but we’re going to have those hemp bars ready for you soon, and I was thank you for your swift response and then they came and I threw them in the freezer, I can’t even read the ingredients, I’m just like I don’t know.

SuChin Pak 

It looks really clean but I don’t know a lot about a lot, so I just go straight to the sugars. You know what, one week it’s like ham parts are great for you the next week ham parts are making blind, you won’t know but I know sugar.

Janet Varney  20:07

We know sugar. They have a lot of other flavors. The cookie dough it’s really good too but it’s almost a little too sweet. This one has the brownie crunch who knows what the crunch is? I don’t know? it’s like some kind of crystal, it’s probably meth I don’t know but it’s like there’s some yeah there’s some something crunchy in there that gives you that extra leg.

SuChin Pak

What is a hemp.

Janet Varney 

It’s fiber that grows.

SuChin Pak 

But what does it look like?

Kulap Vilaysack 

Everything I’ve picked has been somehow related to marijuana.

SuChin Pak 

How did you get to the heart of that. Who knows anyway, that that may not work with the crunch is coming from.

Janet Varney 

I don’t know what that crunch is but I recommend it. But my heart belongs to the brownie crunchy. I will be wearing these clothes when I pass away.

Kulap Vilaysack

Well that is the title of this episode. My cold crunchy hemp hearts. Janet, where can we find you on in the world in the internet’s?

Janet Varney 

You can find me on Twitter at @JanetVarney on Instagram at @thejvclub. You can also just look for Janet Varney. I feel you will find me on Instagram, even if that is what you remember. And as far as where to find me on podcasts. The thing I was most excited about right now that I would encourage you to listen to is my podcast for Nickelodeon and I heart called braving the elements. It is not just a recap podcast, going through Avatar The Last Airbender and eventually The Legend of Korra. But it is a full exploration of what was going on in the world. When those shows came out what was going on in voiceover what was going on in Asian representation in film, television and animation, how things have changed, the inspiration behind many of the things that occur in the show. It’s been so amazing and so fulfilling. And it has definitely proven that you could talk about Avatar The Last Airbender forever and you will never run out of cool things to say.

SuChin Pak  22:17

Straight to my heart, straight to my soul mates.

Kulap Vilaysack 

There are some differences. I say Janet’s more neater than you are. But aside from that.

SuChin Pak 

We’re not moving in together.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Thank you, Janet.

Janet Varney 

My pleasure. My pleasure. You’re wonderful.

Kulap Vilaysack  22:50

Oh boy, it’s a good day and a good episode when we have this returning guests my favorite recurring segment Please welcome our boots on the ground. Our scientists, our tried and true. Dr. MD, Majandra Delfino.

SuChin Pak 

And this week, Dr. Majandra is here to tell us about the thing she wished she knew in her 20s. So that’s the theme. If you’re listening in your 40s, and your 50s and beyond, this is stuff we can pick up right here because we’re here with you ladies. And listen, if you’re in your 20s, you’re welcome.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Majandra, give us a little background on this list. Before we jump into it.

Majandra Delfino 

First of all, what an honor to be here. That’s my first note on my clipboard. It’s says thank you for having me back. So this list, it was really interesting. It made me realize how much I thought I knew in my 20s and then also just how much I was drinking in my 20s as you do, you know. I used to drink what’s caught what I like to net This is very controversial. I used to call it a PDF file. And it was Pedialyte with vodka. And that name needs to sort of maybe read that’s gonna get me cancelled. You know what? I’ve grown. Yeah. So as far as this list goes, I had a lot to say, which was, you know, really unfortunate. I feel like that means I’m just filled with regret. But, the first thing on the list addresses the weird, awful choices we make at that in that sort of age range, such as going out in the sun with a ton of pimples, also the pimples all that stuff. There’s a lot of sort of just marks that I would have loved to had a race a little bit quicker at that age, right? There’s this stuff called Niacin, by a company called Slurp. I mean, I don’t know why guys, this happens to me.

SuChin Pak

Someone saw it in my office they’re like what? You shouldn’t have this out I was like it’s not that, it’s for my brain.

Majandra Delfino 

Why they named their company Slurp, I have no idea, so it’s essentially just this you know chemical mix of these different components that help just target sun damage, acne scars all of that in like rapid time and I know that now because I had a little woopsie with a visor I mean it’s so embarrassing guys I was out in the sun with a visor and I got all these pimples across my forehead and it was like oh god that fear of like, is it back like do I have like teen acne again? It went away But yeah, the aging process makes the clearing up of that sort of thing even slower, so this stuff I started putting it on I was like alright, whatever and it, I mean, maybe illegal, maybe you know, the FDA is going to pull it one day I don’t know because it just stucked up.

Kulap Vilaysack  26:24

I’m only interested in the products Majandra brings by that she’s scared of.

Majandra Delfino 

That’s how I like to live, and when someone says to me, DMs me, I have a green version of that that you should try I the rage that fills my body. I don’t want to clean green version.

SuChin Pak 

You’re on the wrong channel. Okay?

Majandra Delfino 

I would pour acid on my you know what, please no and this kind of is a little bit of an acid you guys it doesn’t feel like it but it works like one I mean it’s insane to me.

SuChin Pak 

It’s got 1300 plus rave reviews. This is incredible. The thing with me is I get very like cystic acne so clearing that up is a chore, but then what happens is the scarring, I mean I have it I probably will have I got one just a few months ago and this scar will probably be there for two years.

Majandra Delfino 

Yeah exactly, and I have so much.

SuChin Pak 

I’m putting the creams and the retinols and the everything on it but could this help with that?

Majandra Delfino 

This is what this thing does. Because that is I have so much left over from my teens. I mean it’s been addressed but it just hasn’t worked. And then I had this new thing that went away and then everything else is just starting to clear up it’s kind of amazing. You put it on your entire face it’s just comes on sort of like hyaluronic acid like it has that same sort of consistency and you just go along with the rest of your you know knee deep routine of God knows what I put you know, I love a day where I’m gonna apply like 12 things topically so fun, but just start with this thing and then you know, maybe just sunscreen whatever but if you just do that twice a day, like in a week you’re gonna be like, holy moly.

Kulap Vilaysack  28:20

We talked about protecting barriers and our skin barrier all the time. This says it reconstructs damage barriers and that’s all I need.

Majandra Delfino 

And I will say, SuChin, and I think that with use in tandem with that amazing like toner exfoliator that you recommended

SuChin Pak 

Yes, from Neterium?

Majandra Delfino 

Yes, for sure. Yeah, it’s just like the combo.

SuChin Pak 

Majandra, I have to say and again, you guys none of us are doctors and dermatologists. But I use that toner, the Neterium toner, whenever I break open a new product, because I don’t know in my mind once I do that, that it’s almost like the cleanest slate that you’re ever going to get for your face. To me it’s my own litmus test of whether a product is really great or not because after I do that I give it its full best shot. I put whatever new product on and if it’s like no I’m like you’re never gonna get a better shot than that. It’s not working for me. Yeah, you’re speaking my language, Majandra.

Majandra Delfino  29:30

It really is. I think just like the dream combo but even by itself this Niacid by Slurp, is just..

SuChin Pak 

Thanks for clarifying.

Majandra Delfino

Oh, I mean, guys, I only want to reference drinking as slurping from now on.

Kulap Vilaysack 

My goodness. Okay next up, you feel like if you know in your total 20s, if you knew about this this sunscreen, you’d start making less mistakes.

Majandra Delfino  30:07

well here’s the thing especially in my 20s I mean I don’t want to age myself but I feel like the sunscreens were really like that chalky you know, whatever now they’re obviously making more skin tone friendly options. This thing has no it’s gel. And it has it’s mixed with hyaluronic acid which you know, we’re all obsessed with. At one point I was ingesting it, not sure if that’s why I’m not bringing it up today. But topically we all know applying hyaluronic acid is the thing and this has it in there and it just comes on like such a nice feeling you know when you put sunscreen on after having washed your face and done the whole thing there’s like a little part of you that dies because it just feels like yuck, Dammit that was so when I was going so well and then now this is the complete opposite, this feels like oh wow.

SuChin Pak 

I can’t believe that, like when you said that like every part of my body. Like the bells every part of my body was ringing little tiny. Jingle Bells.

Majandra Delfino 

And there is also part we’re like probably going to get a pimple now, it’s something about the sunscreen application. It always sort of comes on and a feeling that just instinctually feels wrong.

Kulap Vilaysack 

So this product is the ice and tree hyaluronic acid watery essential SPF 50, strong protection against UVA, UVB rays. Majandra, tell us about Neural Reprogramming.

Majandra Delfino 

Oh my gosh, well, this is very interesting. Guys, this is a loaded, loaded word. SuChin I fear the reaction from you on this one like you don’t even know, we all collectively gasps at your reaction about Kulap’s crystal collection. The judgment you know, that I’m afraid of it. It’s going to come with this.

Kulap Vilaysack  32:09

Thank you, Majandra.

SuChin Pak 

I’m properly trained, thought. But now, so, mums the word, please continue about your neural manifestation journey.

Majandra Delfino 

So that’s the thing, it is technically a manifestation class, okay, that this thing is, right? But what it really is, which I really could have used in my 20s is an it’s a neural process that’s literally rooted in neuroscience, psychology and epigenetics, that reprograms your subconscious. It’s sort of like, like a self-hypnosis, if you will, which I know that word scares people, but you know?

Kulap Vilaysack 

Not me. I’m at the edge of my seat.

Majandra Delfino 

So this woman, Lacy Phillips has this course and you sign up, it’s, you know, like, less than $1 a day, you can do it for just one month, you know, and you go through the litany of all the different things that we have sort of stored trauma with you knows there’s like a re-parenting one, there’s a shadow self where you have to approach the things about yourself, you don’t like blah, blah, blah, she walks you through this sort of process of realizing these things, facing these things, and then sort of putting them behind you. It really is sort of approaching it from this like scientific point of view. Sort of intent, like it has a Dr. Joe Dispenza kind of approach. I don’t know if you know who that is. Sujit? I don’t know how much you’re cringing inside right now. But you’re doing an amazing job.

Kulap Vilaysack 

I think it makes you know; I think you did an amazing job.

SuChin Pak 

I’m curious, Majandra, like, what have you done with this program? like does one start? because like you said, There seems to be so many plays, right? So like, where do you start with this?

I personally, you know, the re parenting really spoke to me. So it’s like, that’s something where she’s like, imagine like, who you who in your mind is like the perfect mother, the perfect father, and she does a beautiful job of being like, this is not a time to you know, this is not an opportunity for me to make you feel unappreciative of your parents or we’re not here to shit on your parents or whatever. Sorry, guys. I know, you know, we don’t like to talk about shit. Sorry, SuChin. But what is the ideal for you? What are the needs that weren’t met? It’s there’s a meditation aspect. There’s sort of a writing aspect of it all and you kind of just hack into it with the intensity that you probably get by going to therapy, you know, and covering that for a year or whatever. And I think that’s why it’s so brilliant for someone in their 20s because oftentimes, you know, you either can’t afford therapy or your therapist is more of a shitshow than you are, you know?

Kulap Vilaysack 

So Lacy Phillips has found it To Be Magnetic. And it’s neural manifestation based on raising your self-worth, and stepping into your authenticity.

SuChin Pak 

And they’ve got all different kinds of workshops. So like you said, you can start one for $60, you can unblock your inner child, there’s one called the daily practice.

Majandra Delfino

So it’s just like these very practical things. I will say, full disclosure, I do have an absolute allergy to like, the wellness space. And if like anyone talks to me like this, I want to murder like I feel a rage inside me. And so for me to sort of arrive at this, you know, with this as a, something to do in your 20s. It speaks volumes, because there is a resistance, for sure.

Kulap Vilaysack 

All right. I love it. I will try it. SuChin, we could take a class together. And share notes and stuff. What do you think about that?

SuChin Pak  36:06

Yes, that sounds like fun.

Majandra Delfino

You do have to hold crystals while you do it. You do have to hold at least four crystals.

SuChin Pak 

Let me just put in here, Majandra, introduced me to such a game changer in my life years ago. What was that book? A dildo and a book.

Majandra Delfino 

It was the artist way.

SuChin Pak 

Yes. You gifted me The Artist Way. Yeah, along with a journal and the most beautiful pencils. I kept for a very long time. But it was during a year, I just was having a really difficult time finding myself with my kids and who I was. And I was just like, in a dark rut. And I did this, Majandra, for I think it took me about eight months to get through it. Right. And it is you know how like in your life. You can put down flags on points that really sort of change the course of your life. And that was a flag. And I don’t know, if you I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it.

Majandra Delfino 

Yeah, I mean, I feel like that’s always been the thing I very much, you know, felt very tapped into you and you’re not someone that you know is going to come and just like vomit out all that. But you know, there was like enough of a conversation where it’s like, oh, man, I so recognize this same thing. And I was doing it I was probably like in the middle of it. And it was such a game changer. And it both my husband and I did it together. And it was so hilarious, because it’d be like I’m going on my artist date. And just you know where you’re allowed essentially, Kulap, to like, take, go on a date with yourself that is in some way inspiring, or something artistic or whatever. So you could legitimately leave at 2PM and go see a movie by yourself. And that’s an artist date and that’s encouraged in this program. And God did I love it. But yeah, it really was very helpful.

Majandra, I wish we had more time to spend with you because I could talk to you endlessly. I love that at the end of our time today. We had an Add To Cart things that I wish I knew in my 20s That was unexpected, which is the book, The Artist Way which I highly recommend to I think it’s beautifully. And I say that when I bought it and I did the first page.

Majandra Delfino 

Yeah, it’s intense. It’s a commitment. Like maybe I don’t want to be an artist. It’s a commitment.

Kulap Vilaysack 

Majandra, where can we find you on Instagram?

Majandra Delfino
