A to Z Dear Jack 11 | "Feeling Overwhelmed Listener"

Dear Jack,I've always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need advice or a listening ear. While I appreciate being trusted, I've noticed that lately, I've become the unofficial therapist for everyone around me. It's starting to feel like I'm carrying the weight of everyone else's problems on my shoulders.I want to be there for my loved ones, but I also need some space for my own emotional well-being. How can I set boundaries without alienating the people who rely on me for support?Sincerely,Feeling Overwhelmed ListenerPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-10-feeling-overwhelmed-listener/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

Dear Jack,I've recently taken up a new hobby that I'm passionate about, and it brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment. The issue is that some friends and family members don't seem to understand or appreciate my newfound interest.

My name is.00:00:17JackJack and I.00:00:18JackAm here with my co-host social and today we have a song lyrics episode for you where we will read a small section of a songs lyrics.00:00:31JackAnd then we'll explain what the idiom in the lyric means. So.00:00:36JackSo our first song is break free by Ariana Grande.00:00:43JackAnd the idiom is to break free to break free from something, and the lyrics go like this.00:00:52JackThis is the part when I say I don't want you. I'm stronger than I've been before. This is the part when I break free cause I can't resist it no more.00:01:06JackAnd social. What? What do you think? Break for what does?00:01:08JackBreak free mean in.00:01:10JackThis scenario, this situation.00:01:14XochitlI guess she's saying she's breaking free like she's.00:01:21XochitlLiberating yourself or.00:01:25XochitlGaining her independence from a relationship? Maybe.00:01:31XochitlI would say what do you think, Jack? I haven't heard this song before, actually for our listeners.00:01:36XochitlI'm I'm not an Ariana fan, so.00:01:37JackYeah, I don't recognize this lyric, but I my my understanding of what she's saying is that she's she's been in a relationship with this guy, and this is the part. Now she's going to kind of like being handcuffed or shackled to somebody.00:01:55XochitlRight.00:01:57JackAnd when you break free, it's like you break those handcuffs or break the shackles and you and you're no longer.00:02:08XochitlCovered tethered with tide.00:02:09JackYou tether you, you know? Yeah, you.00:02:12JackRight. You're no longer tied to this other person. You're no longer in. You're no longer a prisoner in this relationship. You are free. And so it's like it's like a bird escaping from a cage. You know, it's kind of breaking free. A bird breaks through the cage and gets to fly.00:02:19XochitlRight.00:02:32JackFree into the sky. So yeah, that that's what break free means. It's just break free means you're you're.00:02:40JackYou're imprisoned, and then you're free. You get out, you escape. That's that's all it means. I think. To break free is to escape. I think that's the best. Maybe word. Yeah.00:02:53XochitlI agree. I agree. What's the other song working at First, Jack?00:02:56JackAll right, our second song is by Pat Benatar. This one I.00:03:01JackKnow because I'm old.00:03:03JackHit me with your best shot by Pat Benatar. You everybody? Yeah. You know the song.00:03:06XochitlOh, I do know the song though.00:03:09XochitlBecause my PE teacher used to play this, I think when I was like a like 6 years old or something.00:03:19JackYeah, the lyric is hit me.00:03:22JackWith your best shot, fire away.00:03:26JackAnd the idiom is hit me with your best shot. And what does it mean?00:03:35XochitlI think.00:03:37XochitlIn the US, when we talk about hitting someone with our best shot.00:03:43XochitlOr or getting hit you know.00:03:46XochitlBy someone's it's like in a way you're talking about being. I'm gonna put this, like, shot down.00:03:56JackDo your best.00:03:58XochitlYeah, well, I thought also, yeah, do your best to, like, shoot me down. Kind of right is.00:04:05XochitlTo stop me or like.00:04:05JackYeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In this case, I think what it means, I think you're right.00:04:09JackI think it's she's she's saying.00:04:11JackYou know like.00:04:12JackIt's like in a fight when two people are fighting, one goes.00:04:15JackPunch, punch me. Hit. Give me hit.00:04:18XochitlRight.00:04:18JackMe with your.00:04:18JackBest shot because it's not enough to take me down like I'm stronger than you. Yeah, so.00:04:20XochitlRight.00:04:22XochitlRight.00:04:24XochitlIt's like playing if anyone's ever played the video game well, computer game, Street Fighter.00:04:30XochitlUh. Or maybe you're talking trash to someone I'll be like. Yeah, he needed best shot. And your two characters are fighting it out on the computer screen.00:04:40XochitlYeah, I feel like that's the.00:04:43XochitlWell, that's the thing.00:04:44발표자Yeah, this.00:04:45JackThis is a chat. This is a challenge. This is she. This is her saying to another person challenging the the. I believe it's a a lover or a, you know, an ex or something like you know I'm I'm gonna.00:04:59JackYou know.00:05:00JackYou go ahead and try. Come after me, you know? Try to attack me.00:05:05JackGive it hit me with.00:05:06JackYour best shot because your best is not enough to take me down. You cannot defeat me, so you can try. And so you're challenging the other person like.00:05:18JackYou know ohh you.00:05:19JackGot a problem with me.00:05:21JackHit me with your best shot.00:05:23JackBecause after you hit me, I'll still be standing. I'll still be standing here. You can't. You cannot. You cannot defeat me. That's what I think she's saying in this.

A to Z Dear Jack 08 | "Conflicted Companion"

Dear Jack,I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you with a dilemma that has been weighing heavily on my mind. I have a best friend with whom I've shared countless experiences, joys, and challenges over the years. Our friendship has always been based on openness and trust, but recently, I stumbled upon a secret about them that they have kept from me.The nature of the secret is not harmful, but the fact that they withheld it has left me feeling conflicted. It's not a trivial detail, and it has made me question the level of transparency in our friendship. I find myself torn between the desire to confront them about it and the inclination to respect their privacy.On one hand, I understand that everyone has aspects of their lives they may not be ready to share. On the other hand, our friendship has thrived on honesty, and this revelation feels like a breach of the trust we've built.I'm unsure whether I should address the issue directly with my friend or let it go, trusting that they will open up when they're ready. I value our friendship immensely and don't want this discrepancy to strain our relationship. How do I navigate this delicate situation without jeopardizing the bond we've worked so hard to build?Thank you for your time and advice.Sincerely,Conflicted CompanionPodcast Website:https://atozenglishpodcast.com/a-to-z-dear-jack-08-conflicted-companion/Social Media:Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/671098974684413/Tik Tok:@atozenglish1Instagram:@atozenglish22Twitter:@atozenglish22A to Z Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/theatozenglishpodcastCheck out our You Tube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCds7JR-5dbarBfas4Ve4h8ADonate to the show: https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9472af5c-8580-45e1-b0dd-ff211db08a90/donationsRobin and Jack started a new You Tube channel called English Word Master.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack discuss whether they make most of their decisions by using their heads or their hearts.Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:14JackWelcome to the.00:00:14JackA-Z English podcast My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social and today we're going to do another quick talk episode and we have a very simple question, but maybe it's not so easy to answer. The question is, do you think more with your head or your heart?00:00:36XochitlAnd at the at the basis of this, if you think more with your head, you're more of a logic based thinker. And if you think more with your heart, you're more of an emotions based thinker.00:00:46JackRight.00:00:46XochitlI think I don't know if this is a fair answer, but I think I'm a happy medium I try.00:00:55XochitlTo handle my impulses and just sit on them. And I also try to think of things logically, but.00:01:01XochitlUltimately I do.00:01:04XochitlThink I'm a little more of an emotions based thinker. I have a hard time.00:01:09XochitlSticking to long term goals or responding logically in a situation, I tend to go with what I feel in the moment. Umm and and I.00:01:20XochitlThink that that.00:01:22XochitlMakes me more.00:01:23XochitlOf an A.00:01:25XochitlI think more with my heart than with my head.00:01:29XochitlYeah. How about you, Jack?00:01:32JackNo, I've actually words on the same page these days because I am also I think more with my heart than my head. If I thought more with my head, I would you.00:01:47JackKnow I would definitely.00:01:49JackPlan things out or gain things out better.00:01:52JackYou know, if I like a chess player, you know, I play chess about.00:01:57JackOne move ahead, you know, and when I play with people who are are good at playing chess, they're, you know, they're planning.00:02:06Jack10 moves ahead.00:02:07JackRight. They're like if I do this, Jack will do this. Then I'll do this. Jack will do this, you know? And they're already predicting I'm. I'm just not built that way. I I my I follow my heart.00:02:21JackAnd usually it leads me to a pretty good result. I yeah, a good outcome then? Yes, exactly. I'm.00:02:32JackI'm trying to think.00:02:33JackOf some examples, but it's just like.00:02:37JackYou know, some things. Look, some things look.00:02:40JackBad on paper. Do you know what I mean? It's like, you know, like, for example, let's start a podcast, a Language learning podcast.00:02:49JackOK, there's only a million of.00:02:50XochitlRight.00:02:52JackThem you know what are the?00:02:53XochitlRight.00:02:53JackOdds that we're going to be successful, like if.00:02:56JackI followed my.00:02:57JackHead. I'd be doing a, you know, podcast about, you know.00:03:05JackI don't know.00:03:05XochitlSome really niche.00:03:06XochitlThing that no one else.00:03:09JackRare South American.00:03:09XochitlIs sada.00:03:11JackTree frogs or something you know like.00:03:13XochitlRight, yeah.00:03:13JackI I don't know.00:03:15JackBut but but I followed my heart because because I this is what I wanted to do. You know, it's like this is what I'm I'm passionate about teaching English. I'm passionate about language. I know you're passionate about language. You're translator. You're you know you.00:03:34JackYou you understand 2 languages fluent, you know, as a balanced bilingual. So it's like our appreciation for language and things. It's like, OK, it may look bad, it may be bad logic to choose this path.00:03:49JackForward. But if we follow our hearts, we could probably find success. You know that way. And so if I only followed my head, listen to my head or think with my head, I'll never really take a risk or do something, you know, kind of, you know, look crazy. But if I if I think with my heart.00:04:10JackAnd I follow my heart. Then I know that my passion can carry me through, even though maybe my plan.00:04:18JackIs not perfect.00:04:19JackI don't know if that makes sense.00:04:21XochitlNo, I think it does make sense.00:04:24XochitlAnd UM.00:04:26XochitlI get it.00:04:26XochitlYeah, I think it makes sense and I think.00:04:30XochitlI agree with you. I think we we both.00:04:34XochitlOur guided by.00:04:35XochitlOur hearts, I think ultimately it's LED some good outcomes, more than trying to plan it out in a.00:04:43XochitlA logic based way. I think our our one of our old team members Kevin, I think he was maybe more logic based than either.00:04:50XochitlOf us, yeah.00:04:51JackYeah, I think so, maybe.00:04:53JackYeah. Well, what, what do?00:04:54JackYou think? What? What would you, how would you?00:04:56JackBecause you you need both, right? I mean you.00:04:58JackCan't be people that act with all.00:05:00JackArt are, you know, and only follow their emotions are going to get themselves into trouble sometimes eventually. I mean, it's going to happen. So I would say I'm more of like a 7030 person.00:05:09XochitlRight, right.00:05:16JackIs that where put yourself?00:05:16XochitlWhen you need your just to hold you back, I think, yeah, I think I'm probably 6.00:05:22XochitlWell, yeah, I'm probably 703070 heart and 30 logic.00:05:25발표자OK.00:05:28Jack70 hard, 30 logic right? I've got enough logic to kind of you know, so I can still feed myself, you know? But I, you know, I can still get to work like I know that I can follow directions. You know what I mean? I'm not just going like it feels like work. Is this direction. You know? I don't. I'm not like, you know, 100% on my heart.00:05:30발표자OK. Yeah.00:05:45발표자Right, right.00:05:48JackYou know, we need some, we need logic, right? We need reason. But I think you know, if I did a calculation, I'm probably somewhere around. Yeah, 30706040, something like.00:06:01XochitlYeah, alright, listeners.
