Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're back. This is Ashley Spidel and you're listening to
Are you with me? We are so excited to be
back this new year. Oh my gosh, it's kind of
a new year and a new me. Let me reintroduce myself.
I feel really like refreshed after this long holiday break.
(00:23):
Should we still be saying Happy New Year? Though? Oh god,
I'm not saying it to anyone. No, you only say
that like the first two days I said it. Today
you did. Yeah, that's friendly of you. My cut off
I think will be like next week. You could essentially
say it through February. March is a little weird. March
is kind of pushing it. You want to get an
(00:45):
email on February five that says Happy New Year, It's
like it's February at that point. I mean, if I
haven't spoken to that person all year, then I think
it's appropriate. Now I would say maybe like I hope
your new year is off to a good start. That's
really friendly. I'm a friendly person. You can really are.
I think, no matter what, as long as you're wishing
(01:06):
someone well, just go with it. I know. But when
you're when you're getting wished well, like whether it was like,
how was your weekend? How in depth do you go?
This is really going in depth right now, Tim, I mean,
do you really think about these things all day? Yeah? Like,
when someone says to me, like, how was your weekend,
do you just say fine? Or do you say it
(01:26):
was great? I cleaned up my garage, went on to date,
and slept in. I think I think you can leave
out the part about cleaning your garage. I mean, when
somebody asks you that you're supposed to be giving them
the like Instagram highlight reel, you tell them all the
fun things you did, you don't all of a sudden
go down this dark hole of well, it was kind
(01:47):
of a boring weekend. I've had no plans and nothing
to do. Well, I don't. It's actually funny because I
told three people that today and all of them responded
in a way of I did the same thing a
weekend ago, last month, whatever. I feel amazing. There is
a good feeling that comes with that, and I feel like,
you know, people can relate because it is the beginning
(02:09):
of the year, and I feel like a lot of
people are kind of maybe, but most of the year
people don't do that kind of stuff. I don't know
maybe why. I mean spring cleaning, summer projects. I mean,
I'm all about cleaning and organizing. But I don't think
I'm normal. I feel like most people are well. I
(02:30):
think that the I think that my consensus today is
that people are into garage cleaning. You know what, Jim,
that is really interesting that that's what you decided to
share about your weekend. But you know what I did.
I said, we cleaned out our garage, we went to dinner,
and we slept tim Again, the things that you're choosing
to share is just a little what would you add
(02:52):
to What would you add, what would you delete? Knowing
what we did this past weekend, I mean I would
hype it up a little bit more. I mean I
would make it sound like we have like a really
great weekend. To me, if somebody told me that they
cleaned out their garage, they went to dinner, and they
slept in I'd be like, okay, boring, those are all
things that going to dinner on a date, dinner date,
(03:14):
sounds amazing. I need our garage is fun. I just
feel like you need a lesson in sales or something.
How to sell myself perfect our weekend? Yeah, exactly exactly. Okay,
back to me, I just kind of wanted to um
touch more on the fact of how I feel so
(03:36):
refreshed after this new year, you know, like everybody dreads.
I feel that week back to work after having time
off like and just enjoying with family and relaxing and
doomsday kind of right, that whole back to reality. But
I hate that quote. Oh my god. Anytime anyone says
(03:57):
that I want to just back in them, I always
say I literally say that after every vacation you and
I go on ye and I hate it. Well, anyways,
it was back to reality this week for us, and
I felt really, I felt really good about it. Okay,
good you did too. I was actually excited to get
I enjoy like the holidays are fun when it's like
(04:20):
your party and you're doing this, you're doing that, but
like you're staying up late, like you kind of go
off schedule. I feel like totally, you go off like
maybe you're eating habits, your workout habits totally. And then
it was kind of nice to be like, Okay, no,
I'm waking up, I'm going to the gym, I'm doing this,
I'm eating healthy again. I'm not eating cookies three honestly,
oh my god, all the baked goods, all the alcohol,
(04:41):
all the food that you normally don't eat. Right, I'm
so over that I'm ready for this re this restart,
and this refresh. I'm kind of like a kid kids.
You know how kids thrive on a schedule. Yes, that's me.
I'm a child. I thrive on a schedule. I need that.
I also think a lot of p well don't know really,
(05:02):
like you think that people don't thrive on a schedule. Yeah,
I know. I have multiple friends that like their life
makes no sense to me, Like I don't get how
they function because it's like one day they have to
be at work like nine am, and then like they
have off for two weeks because they work on like
a random schedule or something. I literally can't. That seems
like pure chaos to me, and that would make me
absolutely miserable. Right, But then, so how did you so
(05:24):
when if it doesn't if you don't like it, then
how do you go from going off schedule and liking
it to getting back on. Well, I mean when it's
when I'm going off schedule and it's the holidays and
I'm partying and enjoying and sleeping until tan on a Tuesday. Sure,
then it's fine for a certain amount of time, But
there is something to be said for getting back to
(05:46):
reality if you will. I don't like. I mean, the
reason that quote bugs me is because it's like, don't
roll your eyes, give it to me. Let's hear it.
It's insinuating that your reality isn't great. No, I love
my reality. Okay, so then what's wrong with getting back
to it? Nothing's wrong with it, That's what I'm saying.
And you say back to reality, Well, yeah, I'm not
(06:10):
living with rose colored glasses on, and you know, with
all the palm trees and the ocean around me, coconuts
on the side of the road, right, but that isn't
my reality. But I do love my reality. Okay. Well,
I feel like it's it's insinuating. Okay, don't take what
I'm saying negatively. Let's move on, can we. Anyways, I'm
(06:30):
trying to be positive this year, and I feel like
you're just focusing on the negative. And for me this year,
I didn't really do a New Year's resolution. Last year.
I did like a bunch of like New Year's resolutions
and goals, that I needed to hit by like certain
times to help keep myself on track. But this year
I didn't really do that. I'm more so was looking
(06:52):
for like a word or a phrase, if you will, um,
and I ended up not going with a word or
an adjective. I guess I ended up going with a phrase.
And I just was looking to lead with positivity and
passion this year. And I chose that statement because passion
or compassion passion. I chose that statement because um, I
(07:16):
feel like with myself I needed to be more positive
mentally and personally as well as socially of course, rub
off and shine onto others, because I feel like that
then reflects back onto you. It totally does, because when
you if you're with a group of people and you
start going negative and like turn it into like ragging
on someone, it just ends up being the snowball effect,
(07:38):
and your whole night or day, whatever it is, ends
up just being primarily negative. But if you do the opposite,
you normally are more positive. Yeah, I know that's so true.
And I feel like there's a couple of people in
my life that I do speak negatively about, or I
have negative thoughts or fee feelings about and this year,
(08:03):
I really just want to try and not have those
thoughts and control those thoughts um because me harboring those
feelings and those thoughts is doing nothing to them or
for them. It's only I feel like deteriorating me. So anyways,
I just wanted to lead with positivity first off. Also,
(08:23):
it's not a nice thing if like, if you if
there's an acquaintance that whether it's like a friend or
someone you work with, that you're talking poorly about what
someone maybe you're closer with. How how like unsettling is
that to think if they knew what you were saying
about them, that's so like so nitpicky and minuscule. But
you're like harboring on like that they're supernatural or this
(08:46):
or that or like all these random things that people
are like easily made quote fun of. For wait, what
do you mean supernatural like like a yogi or like
a spear actual person or something like it's easy to
like make fun of supernatural. Super natural not supernatural? Right, Okay,
(09:07):
got it. That's the negative thing. I'm just I don't
think it is. But I'm just thinking I'm picking up
on things I've heard other people say about people that
we know in common that I try and see them
clear of like oh that that person is super religious
or that person super spiritual, Like, regardless of if it
doesn't align with you, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
(09:30):
And it's not nice to think if they heard you
say that about them. Absolutely not that would be like
I always try and put them like in this situation,
and like that's a kind of heartbreaking. I like, you
think if they heard what you were saying about them? Yeah, absolutely,
I think that if we had that ability to hear
what others were saying or thinking about us, it's called
that a movie like What Women Want or whatever. You
(09:52):
could like hear what women are thinking about That's like
a different style, but yeah, that's essentially what I'm saying.
I just feel like if that was actually a thing,
you want to have no relationships with each other. I
mean that's kind of I say that because I feel
like this world is there's a lot of that, and
(10:15):
I mean I really only try and keep relationships with
people that I have positive feelings towards and about. But
there are a couple, like I had mentioned that I
don't have great feelings towards and I just am trying
to better myself by being aware about that and spreading
positivity through doing that. So you would want to hear
(10:37):
what people have to think about you first. My first
reaction is God, no, But I don't know. It would
put things into perspective and maybe I'm wasting my time
with certain people in my life that I don't think
positively of me or don't want the best for me,
and that doesn't serve me having a relationship with somebody
(10:59):
like that. Oh yeah, but I don't think I would
want to know from the because I don't care about
like acquaintances or friends if they think poorly about me
and they play one side and then they act another.
But I would want to care if like there's random
things that like maybe your partner a you think about
me that, like I wouldn't let you just think, but
you don't necessarily say like I don't know, like when
(11:22):
I have a stye in my eye, like god, that
looks just so disgusting, or oh my god, I pretty
much tell you every time, or like if I take
my shirt off and I haven't worked out in two months,
like I currently, I'm like, oh, look at that, he
looks he looks poor once, Tim? What the heck? Okay,
First of all, I don't think anything poorly of you,
But when I do, I say it straight to your face,
(11:44):
like a couple of months ago when you had a
sty in your eye. And also I hate talking about
this because they gross me out so much. This is
so disgusting. I'm one of my biggest series is having
bad breath and being like clothes, like in an intimate
conversation with someone, like at a cocktail party or at
a restaurant or something, and like and there you're blowing
it right in their face, and but they can't avoid
(12:06):
it because you're so one on one. That's why I
chew gum while drinking cocktails. Isn't that weird? I do that?
Like if I'm out at like a club or something.
Do you think that it balances it out? Or no
matter what, your whole mouth just still smells like gin
or tequila or it depends on the cocktail. I think
if you're drinking like bourbon and chewing gum, that's foul.
If you're drinking like a vodka soda, yeah, that's fine.
(12:29):
It's it's just gonna smell like a vodka mint. I
don't know about that. I feel like people are gonna
be disgusted by this. Okay, I feel like you're going
down like a really disgusting rabbit hole from like sties
to bad breath too. Well, I guess that's my point.
I wouldn't want to know if there's something about me
that's like gross, not like that's external that people are thinking,
(12:52):
then internal like oh, Tim's an asshole. Tim. I'm pretty
sure I tell you any time you any him, I
think something negatively of you. Right, I'm pretty good about cheering.
I mean that's my hope. I do. I do, I do,
But you you also don't want me to know. I
feel like you're on the on the cord line right
now of like getting crushed or but like also want
(13:16):
to hear it. No, I want to hear it. I
feel like there's maybe five percent of the truth that
you're not cheering. Oh my god. No, I'm pretty brutally honest.
I feel what don't you say? Yeah? I think we
both are. But I'm just saying, is there something that
you thought that I you haven't told me great? Okay,
(13:37):
you smell great, thank you, you are great. But I
think that I would want to know I would even
if it's like some random person I would want to
know some random person. I don't because I don't care.
But I also have like a pretty strong backbone. I
feel so and you know, if somebody feels a certain
way about me, I have no problem holding that grudge
(13:58):
for the rest of my life. I'll release eventually. But
you know, I just I don't need to be around that.
I'd rather know, so bring it on. Okay? With that,
I guess there's a little passion behind that and me
and I think that's That's the other thing that I
(14:19):
was saying that I really want to that I strive
for in this new year is to be more passionate
in everything that I choose to do and spend my
time doing. Um well, speaking of spending time a new year,
when I was when I started the new year, I
was reflecting on the holiday season, which is a time
that like everyone spreads themselves so thin with their time,
(14:43):
their money and everything that it's like you end up
being just wiped out at the end of the holiday
holiday season. Of like, I had seven parties, I bought
nineteen gifts, and for what that's so true at the
end of every holiday season, I'm always sick. I always
end up getting sick from spending too much time with
(15:05):
different people, and I think staying up late and over
extending myself, even eating healthy or being healthy, all of
the above totally, I completely agree. But this past holiday season,
I was I realized that I think a lot of
our are being actually a nice traditional type Christmas parties
(15:26):
and functions and get togethers kind of shifted this year
because as they did, as we grow up and as
you people change and move, and you know, you have
different people that come in and out of your life.
You have different parties to go to, different commitments that
you sign up for. And after I think it was
like New Year's Day or maybe the day after New
Year's Day, I was, I came to the realization that
(15:48):
I was so happy that we spent every every night,
every event that we went to was like fulfilling and
meaningful because a lot of the times you go to
these like big holiday parties that on paper sounds so good.
It's open bar and you get maybe formally dressed or
you get kind of like holiday dressed at whatever that
may be. But you're there and it's a party of
(16:11):
two people and you know four, but they're not like
you're close friends. They're just these people you see once
a year, maybe twice a year that it's like, oh cool, fun, Hi,
how are you, what are you doing? Where do you worry?
Blah blah blah about like the top twenty questions that
you ask people. But that catch up that you played
one year ago to the date probably that you're then
(16:32):
playing again the next year, right, and it's like and
then you're just you either and it's like, oh, yeah,
that was cool. There was great food and open bar
and it was fun. But like that doesn't mean anything
to me, Like I could buy my own food and
drink right, there's no quality, there's no fulfillment in any
of that or in those types of conversations or those
types of relationships. So what was something you did this
(16:54):
holiday season that made you feel fulfilled? This holiday season,
we did a lot of hosting, and that really made
me feel fulfilled. Um, we have the space to do so,
and to be able to have our friends and our
family and everyone over and to serve them and host
(17:18):
them and celebrate with them in our space was just
really really nice. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I know that
sometimes hosting can be really stressful, and especially a lot
during the holiday season, but I just thoroughly enjoyed every
second of it, and I feel like it was going
(17:39):
on for like two months. Really we kind of were
hosting for quite a while, and it just was I
just absolutely loved every second of it because it was
with everyone that I wanted to spend time with. It
wasn't any of those like filler random, No, absolutely not.
It was I felt fulfilled after each of those events.
(18:03):
So and I think that that just, I mean, that
speaks volumes, and that's what makes me want to continue
doing it. I don't want to do things in life
that I don't feel fulfilled afterwards. Completely agree. What about you?
What made you feel fulfilled this holiday season? I think
one thing that I always talked about with going into
(18:24):
the holiday season is I overall like gift giving and
gift receiving to me is overrated. And I feel I
felt the most fulfilled because Ash and I chose to
not give each other gifts this year, but instead we
bought stuff that we both know that we both wanted
(18:46):
for our house. Rather than buying a another watch or
another purse or a wallet or this whatever it was
maybe more things that we needed or and it was
random stuff like a marble fruit ball that actually been
wanting for like two years that you got. I didn't
need it, I just wanted it, right. But it's like
(19:07):
that's so much more enjoyable because there's so much pressure
and build up for gift giving, and I feel like
the build up is so much greater nine out of
ten times than the reaction. Absolutely so I felt I
felt fulfilled because we did what we wanted to, We
spent our money how we wanted to, and there wasn't
(19:29):
like requirement. I feel like there's a weird thing with
gift giving where it's a certain caliber, whether it's a
certain price tag of something that you have to gift someone,
or it's a certain caliber of a gift, Like it's like, oh,
what did Tim get you this year? What did you
get Tim this year? I think somebody's looking for that caliber,
(19:52):
that big ticket item of whatever that may be. Or
you know, then with certain people, it's like you have
to slap a price tag on each person of how
much you want to spend on them. I don't know,
it's just weird. And it's weird too with like couples
that are in the place where they're like living together
and maybe their money isn't blended, but you know what
(20:14):
the other person has, and if there's you know, if
you're making x amount of money a year, you know
that there's x amount of money left over for holidays,
et cetera. And it's like there's not really like a
huge element of surprise unless like there is, you know,
unless you are a little more separated than that financially.
(20:35):
It's interesting that you, I like that you brought this up,
and it's interesting that you have like kind of a
thing with you know, gift giving and feeling underwhelmed with
the process or I mean, was there any that you
felt underwhelmed giving this here or any that you felt
like you really like knocked it out of the park
(20:57):
or do you essentially usually feel like are just gifting
somebody something and it's just like it's just a transactional thing.
It's so it's overall, it's transactional. So when are we
going to exchange gifts? Okay, come over and do this
and that and you open it. Thank you. I'm going
to use this for a party I'm having this summer
or whatever that may be. But fast forward three months
(21:18):
and I'm sure the majority of the people that you
gifted you couldn't say, Hey, what it actually got you
for Christmas? This past year, they probably won't remember and
even and that is to say, if you went below
what you should have gotten them, or you went above you,
they won't be remembered. Like I remember one year we
(21:42):
got like ash and I bought my parents like one thing,
and then the next year we bought my mom like
a really nice purse, and the reaction was no different.
They were appreciative. The same appreciation was shown regardless of
the gift. All Right, that's it for the rest of time.
Eileen and John are getting super general gifts, easy to please.
(22:06):
But I think that have you ever bought someone a
gift that is so outrageously nice or so outrageously like,
let's just get on this little ten dollar or something
or other and the reaction has matched the price tag.
I don't think you do. It's interesting this year I
a couple gifts that I gifted got left behind, and
(22:32):
did you try and make an effort to return them? Well, honestly,
my first reaction was like, oh my god, I am
keeping this and I am keeping it for myself or
I'm returning it, but that's valid. No, it's not valid. Yes,
I the ship. Well no, I At first though, I
kind of felt like, oh, like they left that behind.
(22:54):
Like I know, it's crazy and you're wrangling you know,
kids and family members and gifts from so many people
and whatever. But still I kind of was like, huh
did they not like it? Does that mean that they
didn't like it? And probably not, but it just made
me question it is all that's pretty deep rooted. Rabbit
(23:14):
holy that I went. I thought too much about it.
I don't think that they didn't. I mean, also, if
you didn't like a gift, wouldn't you take it? I
mean then leave it. I would be like, I'm thinking
it was just a forgetful thing. You know, I think
that it's just chaotic and crazy and it was just
a forgetful thing. But it just made me question it, like,
(23:35):
oh I wonder, oh no, did they not like that
or whatever. It's just so funny because Ah and I
went out doing like last minute shopping. I think it
was like the twenty like Sunday before Christmas. Yeah, where
there's crazy people, The lines are crazy targets busy. Cost
goes busy, Macy's is busy, whatever. Every store has a
(23:55):
line up the door. And then on I think it
was Oncember twenty seven, I had to go make a
return at Costco for something that we had bought that
we didn't want, and the line was probably people deep,
and as I got close to the front, I was
starting like pay attention to see what everyone was returning,
(24:18):
and everyone we was returning to gift. So it's like
we as a society spend all this time energy. Time
is money, let's not forget so we spent all this time,
then we also spend our currency to get a gift
for someone that they just returned. Are hard work, yeah,
are hard earned money. It's so true. But I'm guilty though, Tim,
(24:40):
I did return a gift or two this year, right,
and you and you probably up getting less than they
paid for it because majority of people don't get gift receipts,
which p s a give a gift receipt. Yeah, no,
that's true. Did you give do we get gift receipts?
If they if they have them, man if they offer
him from those types of places. But also sometimes you
(25:03):
maybe buy something for someone that you don't want them
to know where how much you paid for it. That's
not how I do give giving. Let's move on. You
never discussed what your New Year's RESO was, or what
your word for the year is or anything, because I
kind of decided that maybe I did have a New
Year's resolution. Maybe my whole thing was just about doing
(25:27):
what feels good this year. That's a great There we go,
got a new Year's resolution, just got halfway through the month.
A little late to the game, but better late than never.
Of course, Tim, what about you? Did you have a
resolution or like if you could think of a word
for the year that was your goal or a but
when you said the words, we'll start with the word
(25:49):
because the word I was trying to rack my brain.
And my word for the year is going to be uninhibited.
What a good word? And I think that could be
like a ten to fifteen things of different avenues of
your life where it's like, if you want to go
for something at work, go and give it your all
(26:11):
and go get it if you want to, if you
want to, you know, build your relationship up, you know
with in your love life, and you wanted whether that's
like getting yourself back out there or you know, really
growing with the one that you're with. I think that
totally makes sense. Oh my god, yes, do it with
arms wide open. I love it. So that's my word uninhibited.
(26:31):
I can't. I struggle saying it, so I was leary
to bring it up in an audio based discussion. Uninhibited.
I love that, but that's my that's my word. Okay.
And did you have a New Year's resolution or any
goals that you wanted to accomplish this year? Well, not goals,
but I want to I want to read more because
last year for my birthday, you got me a book
(26:53):
that I just finished literally this past weekend on like
January attempt. This is a book that I have that
I knew was going to change, change it for Tim,
and it did. And you can speak on that yourself.
But this book specifically, I've read um from this author before,
(27:14):
who's Gaby Bernstein. But I've been dying to read this book,
and for over the past year, I've been literally like
itching for Tim to finish this book. And I am
so excited you finally did. And I mean to note
it's not the size of the Bible. It's a hundred
and ninety pages so it was like a very easy read.
I just you very It's not one of those books
where you could read at any time. You had to
(27:35):
kind of be in the mood for like spiritual enlightenment.
It's called the Universe has your Back if you're looking
for that this year. And I think that's where my
word uninhibited stem from, because the book is all about
living your life and surrendering yourself to the universe or
God or whatever you view as like a higher power,
(27:56):
and doing it all with love, which is kind of
going back to the beginning part of the conversation when
you brought up like doing what feels good to you,
if you do everything, would love no, not at ten times,
I would assume that it's going to feel good to
you and you are going to feel the right way.
Because also, I mean what I learned from that book
and it was so funny. I went, I went to
(28:17):
the car wash this past weekend, and I ran errands
and I more fun things that in this weekend, But
it was so I was going to the car washing.
Another resolution is that I'm trying to be like more
mindful of my time spent because I actually I heard
I think it was evil Longoria on a podcast and
(28:38):
she was talking about how like she finds so so
much success and like being very plotted and planned, which
is kind of like how you are with being on
a schedule and when you set timed Okay, I'm going
to the gym from this time to this time, gonna
work from this time to this time, whatever. But also
you like you can carve out time to be like
I'm gonna sit here on my phone and play on
(28:59):
Instagram or Twitter or or Snapchat for the next fifth
team minutes and be completely mindless. That's not like like
you deserve that. It's good for your brain to have
that mental check out, absolutely, And what's probably really amazing
and positive about doing that is that you are in
control of it instead of just choosing to go down
a rabbit hole on social media and just all of
(29:21):
a sudden, forty five minutes has gone by or twenty
minutes has gone by or whatever. You're choosing to give
yourself though that little block of time five minutes, ten minutes,
whatever it is, thirty minutes, you know, no judgment. I
love that, And also like being smart with when you
like strategically multitasking, like I had to run an air
(29:44):
in today and I knew I had to make two
phone calls on that air and for work. So it's like,
I'm not going to sit here and do nothing. I'm
going to do it while I'm driving that way. It's
like to kill killed two birds with one stone, absolutely,
because I hate that when you're just like, especially if
it's like a ly or like a family conversation, you're
just sitting there and it's like that bugs me. I
(30:05):
need to be doing something. Wait, I'm sorry, a family
or friendly conversation, what are you talking about? Like if
you're talking like a friend or your mom or something,
I can't just be sitting there. I need to be
like folding laundry or making the bed or why is that?
Because I feel very unproductive? And you know, unless you're like,
(30:27):
I don't know, like we'll face time with my little
brother who lives across the country, because then it's like
more of a uh technological happy hour. I love the
technology filed happy hour. Oh my god, technological happy hour
that is that was the bad word. That was the
wrong uh form of it. But it's really sounds fun though.
(30:51):
That makes me want to have technological happy hour. That
makes sense. But just sitting there talking with someone that
like you don't necessary really need to be catching up with,
where it's more of that like um quick catch up
rather than a whole, like deeper conversation. Okay, yeah, that
makes I avoid those conversations unless I'm doing something, even
with work calls. It's like I don't want to, like,
(31:12):
if you need to be sitting there, great, but if
you could be like driving or folding the laundry or
whatever that may be. I did laundry day, which is
very tim is all about that choice. You know what,
I need to figure out some more chores for you
to do, because clearly you need more to do while
you have these mundane conversations with those people in your life. No,
(31:34):
but they can't be loud chores. Okay, I'll think of
something I can't wait to fill your day tomorrow. Well,
I just love everything so far that we've talked about.
Positivity is the first thing that I'm just like, I
want to discuss with everybody this year, with my close
friends and family, and I want to see how everybody's
(31:55):
handling that and managing that, or if they're not, if
they haven't even been thinking about that. Self care is
huge to me and I just love that our first
episode of the New Year is all about positivity and
way to be more passionate and driven and okay, quit
using your adjective jump in then uninhabited and very uninhibited
(32:22):
in this new year. Very excited for us to have
a technological happy hour next week, So please tune in
with Tim and I. Who are you with me?
We're back. This is Ashley Spidel and you're listening to
Are you with me? We are so excited to be
back this new year. Oh my gosh, it's kind of
a new year and a new me. Let me reintroduce myself.
I feel really like refreshed after this long holiday break.
(00:23):
Should we still be saying Happy New Year? Though? Oh god,
I'm not saying it to anyone. No, you only say
that like the first two days I said it. Today
you did. Yeah, that's friendly of you. My cut off
I think will be like next week. You could essentially
say it through February. March is a little weird. March
is kind of pushing it. You want to get an
(00:45):
email on February five that says Happy New Year, It's
like it's February at that point. I mean, if I
haven't spoken to that person all year, then I think
it's appropriate. Now I would say maybe like I hope
your new year is off to a good start. That's
really friendly. I'm a friendly person. You can really are.
I think, no matter what, as long as you're wishing
(01:06):
someone well, just go with it. I know. But when
you're when you're getting wished well, like whether it was like,
how was your weekend? How in depth do you go?
This is really going in depth right now, Tim, I mean,
do you really think about these things all day? Yeah? Like,
when someone says to me, like, how was your weekend,
do you just say fine? Or do you say it
(01:26):
was great? I cleaned up my garage, went on to date,
and slept in. I think I think you can leave
out the part about cleaning your garage. I mean, when
somebody asks you that you're supposed to be giving them
the like Instagram highlight reel, you tell them all the
fun things you did, you don't all of a sudden
go down this dark hole of well, it was kind
(01:47):
of a boring weekend. I've had no plans and nothing
to do. Well, I don't. It's actually funny because I
told three people that today and all of them responded
in a way of I did the same thing a
weekend ago, last month, whatever. I feel amazing. There is
a good feeling that comes with that, and I feel like,
you know, people can relate because it is the beginning
(02:09):
of the year, and I feel like a lot of
people are kind of maybe, but most of the year
people don't do that kind of stuff. I don't know
maybe why. I mean spring cleaning, summer projects. I mean,
I'm all about cleaning and organizing. But I don't think
I'm normal. I feel like most people are well. I
(02:30):
think that the I think that my consensus today is
that people are into garage cleaning. You know what, Jim,
that is really interesting that that's what you decided to
share about your weekend. But you know what I did.
I said, we cleaned out our garage, we went to dinner,
and we slept tim Again, the things that you're choosing
to share is just a little what would you add
(02:52):
to What would you add, what would you delete? Knowing
what we did this past weekend, I mean I would
hype it up a little bit more. I mean I
would make it sound like we have like a really
great weekend. To me, if somebody told me that they
cleaned out their garage, they went to dinner, and they
slept in I'd be like, okay, boring, those are all
things that going to dinner on a date, dinner date,
(03:14):
sounds amazing. I need our garage is fun. I just
feel like you need a lesson in sales or something.
How to sell myself perfect our weekend? Yeah, exactly exactly. Okay,
back to me, I just kind of wanted to um
touch more on the fact of how I feel so
(03:36):
refreshed after this new year, you know, like everybody dreads.
I feel that week back to work after having time
off like and just enjoying with family and relaxing and
doomsday kind of right, that whole back to reality. But
I hate that quote. Oh my god. Anytime anyone says
(03:57):
that I want to just back in them, I always
say I literally say that after every vacation you and
I go on ye and I hate it. Well, anyways,
it was back to reality this week for us, and
I felt really, I felt really good about it. Okay,
good you did too. I was actually excited to get
I enjoy like the holidays are fun when it's like
(04:20):
your party and you're doing this, you're doing that, but
like you're staying up late, like you kind of go
off schedule. I feel like totally, you go off like
maybe you're eating habits, your workout habits totally. And then
it was kind of nice to be like, Okay, no,
I'm waking up, I'm going to the gym, I'm doing this,
I'm eating healthy again. I'm not eating cookies three honestly,
oh my god, all the baked goods, all the alcohol,
(04:41):
all the food that you normally don't eat. Right, I'm
so over that I'm ready for this re this restart,
and this refresh. I'm kind of like a kid kids.
You know how kids thrive on a schedule. Yes, that's me.
I'm a child. I thrive on a schedule. I need that.
I also think a lot of p well don't know really,
(05:02):
like you think that people don't thrive on a schedule. Yeah,
I know. I have multiple friends that like their life
makes no sense to me, Like I don't get how
they function because it's like one day they have to
be at work like nine am, and then like they
have off for two weeks because they work on like
a random schedule or something. I literally can't. That seems
like pure chaos to me, and that would make me
absolutely miserable. Right, But then, so how did you so
(05:24):
when if it doesn't if you don't like it, then
how do you go from going off schedule and liking
it to getting back on. Well, I mean when it's
when I'm going off schedule and it's the holidays and
I'm partying and enjoying and sleeping until tan on a Tuesday. Sure,
then it's fine for a certain amount of time, But
there is something to be said for getting back to
(05:46):
reality if you will. I don't like. I mean, the
reason that quote bugs me is because it's like, don't
roll your eyes, give it to me. Let's hear it.
It's insinuating that your reality isn't great. No, I love
my reality. Okay, so then what's wrong with getting back
to it? Nothing's wrong with it, That's what I'm saying.
And you say back to reality, Well, yeah, I'm not
(06:10):
living with rose colored glasses on, and you know, with
all the palm trees and the ocean around me, coconuts
on the side of the road, right, but that isn't
my reality. But I do love my reality. Okay. Well,
I feel like it's it's insinuating. Okay, don't take what
I'm saying negatively. Let's move on, can we. Anyways, I'm
(06:30):
trying to be positive this year, and I feel like
you're just focusing on the negative. And for me this year,
I didn't really do a New Year's resolution. Last year.
I did like a bunch of like New Year's resolutions
and goals, that I needed to hit by like certain
times to help keep myself on track. But this year
I didn't really do that. I'm more so was looking
(06:52):
for like a word or a phrase, if you will, um,
and I ended up not going with a word or
an adjective. I guess I ended up going with a phrase.
And I just was looking to lead with positivity and
passion this year. And I chose that statement because passion
or compassion passion. I chose that statement because um, I
(07:16):
feel like with myself I needed to be more positive
mentally and personally as well as socially of course, rub
off and shine onto others, because I feel like that
then reflects back onto you. It totally does, because when
you if you're with a group of people and you
start going negative and like turn it into like ragging
on someone, it just ends up being the snowball effect,
(07:38):
and your whole night or day, whatever it is, ends
up just being primarily negative. But if you do the opposite,
you normally are more positive. Yeah, I know that's so true.
And I feel like there's a couple of people in
my life that I do speak negatively about, or I
have negative thoughts or fee feelings about and this year,
(08:03):
I really just want to try and not have those
thoughts and control those thoughts um because me harboring those
feelings and those thoughts is doing nothing to them or
for them. It's only I feel like deteriorating me. So anyways,
I just wanted to lead with positivity first off. Also,
(08:23):
it's not a nice thing if like, if you if
there's an acquaintance that whether it's like a friend or
someone you work with, that you're talking poorly about what
someone maybe you're closer with. How how like unsettling is
that to think if they knew what you were saying
about them, that's so like so nitpicky and minuscule. But
you're like harboring on like that they're supernatural or this
(08:46):
or that or like all these random things that people
are like easily made quote fun of. For wait, what
do you mean supernatural like like a yogi or like
a spear actual person or something like it's easy to
like make fun of supernatural. Super natural not supernatural? Right, Okay,
(09:07):
got it. That's the negative thing. I'm just I don't
think it is. But I'm just thinking I'm picking up
on things I've heard other people say about people that
we know in common that I try and see them
clear of like oh that that person is super religious
or that person super spiritual, Like, regardless of if it
doesn't align with you, it doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
(09:30):
And it's not nice to think if they heard you
say that about them. Absolutely not that would be like
I always try and put them like in this situation,
and like that's a kind of heartbreaking. I like, you
think if they heard what you were saying about them? Yeah, absolutely,
I think that if we had that ability to hear
what others were saying or thinking about us, it's called
that a movie like What Women Want or whatever. You
(09:52):
could like hear what women are thinking about That's like
a different style, but yeah, that's essentially what I'm saying.
I just feel like if that was actually a thing,
you want to have no relationships with each other. I
mean that's kind of I say that because I feel
like this world is there's a lot of that, and
(10:15):
I mean I really only try and keep relationships with
people that I have positive feelings towards and about. But
there are a couple, like I had mentioned that I
don't have great feelings towards and I just am trying
to better myself by being aware about that and spreading
positivity through doing that. So you would want to hear
(10:37):
what people have to think about you first. My first
reaction is God, no, But I don't know. It would
put things into perspective and maybe I'm wasting my time
with certain people in my life that I don't think
positively of me or don't want the best for me,
and that doesn't serve me having a relationship with somebody
(10:59):
like that. Oh yeah, but I don't think I would
want to know from the because I don't care about
like acquaintances or friends if they think poorly about me
and they play one side and then they act another.
But I would want to care if like there's random
things that like maybe your partner a you think about
me that, like I wouldn't let you just think, but
you don't necessarily say like I don't know, like when
(11:22):
I have a stye in my eye, like god, that
looks just so disgusting, or oh my god, I pretty
much tell you every time, or like if I take
my shirt off and I haven't worked out in two months,
like I currently, I'm like, oh, look at that, he
looks he looks poor once, Tim? What the heck? Okay,
First of all, I don't think anything poorly of you,
But when I do, I say it straight to your face,
(11:44):
like a couple of months ago when you had a
sty in your eye. And also I hate talking about
this because they gross me out so much. This is
so disgusting. I'm one of my biggest series is having
bad breath and being like clothes, like in an intimate
conversation with someone, like at a cocktail party or at
a restaurant or something, and like and there you're blowing
it right in their face, and but they can't avoid
(12:06):
it because you're so one on one. That's why I
chew gum while drinking cocktails. Isn't that weird? I do that?
Like if I'm out at like a club or something.
Do you think that it balances it out? Or no
matter what, your whole mouth just still smells like gin
or tequila or it depends on the cocktail. I think
if you're drinking like bourbon and chewing gum, that's foul.
If you're drinking like a vodka soda, yeah, that's fine.
(12:29):
It's it's just gonna smell like a vodka mint. I
don't know about that. I feel like people are gonna
be disgusted by this. Okay, I feel like you're going
down like a really disgusting rabbit hole from like sties
to bad breath too. Well, I guess that's my point.
I wouldn't want to know if there's something about me
that's like gross, not like that's external that people are thinking,
(12:52):
then internal like oh, Tim's an asshole. Tim. I'm pretty
sure I tell you any time you any him, I
think something negatively of you. Right, I'm pretty good about cheering.
I mean that's my hope. I do. I do, I do,
But you you also don't want me to know. I
feel like you're on the on the cord line right
now of like getting crushed or but like also want
(13:16):
to hear it. No, I want to hear it. I
feel like there's maybe five percent of the truth that
you're not cheering. Oh my god. No, I'm pretty brutally honest.
I feel what don't you say? Yeah? I think we
both are. But I'm just saying, is there something that
you thought that I you haven't told me great? Okay,
(13:37):
you smell great, thank you, you are great. But I
think that I would want to know I would even
if it's like some random person I would want to
know some random person. I don't because I don't care.
But I also have like a pretty strong backbone. I
feel so and you know, if somebody feels a certain
way about me, I have no problem holding that grudge
(13:58):
for the rest of my life. I'll release eventually. But
you know, I just I don't need to be around that.
I'd rather know, so bring it on. Okay? With that,
I guess there's a little passion behind that and me
and I think that's That's the other thing that I
(14:19):
was saying that I really want to that I strive
for in this new year is to be more passionate
in everything that I choose to do and spend my
time doing. Um well, speaking of spending time a new year,
when I was when I started the new year, I
was reflecting on the holiday season, which is a time
that like everyone spreads themselves so thin with their time,
(14:43):
their money and everything that it's like you end up
being just wiped out at the end of the holiday
holiday season. Of like, I had seven parties, I bought
nineteen gifts, and for what that's so true at the
end of every holiday season, I'm always sick. I always
end up getting sick from spending too much time with
(15:05):
different people, and I think staying up late and over
extending myself, even eating healthy or being healthy, all of
the above totally, I completely agree. But this past holiday season,
I was I realized that I think a lot of
our are being actually a nice traditional type Christmas parties
(15:26):
and functions and get togethers kind of shifted this year
because as they did, as we grow up and as
you people change and move, and you know, you have
different people that come in and out of your life.
You have different parties to go to, different commitments that
you sign up for. And after I think it was
like New Year's Day or maybe the day after New
Year's Day, I was, I came to the realization that
(15:48):
I was so happy that we spent every every night,
every event that we went to was like fulfilling and
meaningful because a lot of the times you go to
these like big holiday parties that on paper sounds so good.
It's open bar and you get maybe formally dressed or
you get kind of like holiday dressed at whatever that
may be. But you're there and it's a party of
(16:11):
two people and you know four, but they're not like
you're close friends. They're just these people you see once
a year, maybe twice a year that it's like, oh cool, fun, Hi,
how are you, what are you doing? Where do you worry?
Blah blah blah about like the top twenty questions that
you ask people. But that catch up that you played
one year ago to the date probably that you're then
(16:32):
playing again the next year, right, and it's like and
then you're just you either and it's like, oh, yeah,
that was cool. There was great food and open bar
and it was fun. But like that doesn't mean anything
to me, Like I could buy my own food and
drink right, there's no quality, there's no fulfillment in any
of that or in those types of conversations or those
types of relationships. So what was something you did this
(16:54):
holiday season that made you feel fulfilled? This holiday season,
we did a lot of hosting, and that really made
me feel fulfilled. Um, we have the space to do so,
and to be able to have our friends and our
family and everyone over and to serve them and host
(17:18):
them and celebrate with them in our space was just
really really nice. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I know that
sometimes hosting can be really stressful, and especially a lot
during the holiday season, but I just thoroughly enjoyed every
second of it, and I feel like it was going
(17:39):
on for like two months. Really we kind of were
hosting for quite a while, and it just was I
just absolutely loved every second of it because it was
with everyone that I wanted to spend time with. It
wasn't any of those like filler random, No, absolutely not.
It was I felt fulfilled after each of those events.
(18:03):
So and I think that that just, I mean, that
speaks volumes, and that's what makes me want to continue
doing it. I don't want to do things in life
that I don't feel fulfilled afterwards. Completely agree. What about you?
What made you feel fulfilled this holiday season? I think
one thing that I always talked about with going into
(18:24):
the holiday season is I overall like gift giving and
gift receiving to me is overrated. And I feel I
felt the most fulfilled because Ash and I chose to
not give each other gifts this year, but instead we
bought stuff that we both know that we both wanted
(18:46):
for our house. Rather than buying a another watch or
another purse or a wallet or this whatever it was
maybe more things that we needed or and it was
random stuff like a marble fruit ball that actually been
wanting for like two years that you got. I didn't
need it, I just wanted it, right. But it's like
(19:07):
that's so much more enjoyable because there's so much pressure
and build up for gift giving, and I feel like
the build up is so much greater nine out of
ten times than the reaction. Absolutely so I felt I
felt fulfilled because we did what we wanted to, We
spent our money how we wanted to, and there wasn't
(19:29):
like requirement. I feel like there's a weird thing with
gift giving where it's a certain caliber, whether it's a
certain price tag of something that you have to gift someone,
or it's a certain caliber of a gift, Like it's like, oh,
what did Tim get you this year? What did you
get Tim this year? I think somebody's looking for that caliber,
(19:52):
that big ticket item of whatever that may be. Or
you know, then with certain people, it's like you have
to slap a price tag on each person of how
much you want to spend on them. I don't know,
it's just weird. And it's weird too with like couples
that are in the place where they're like living together
and maybe their money isn't blended, but you know what
(20:14):
the other person has, and if there's you know, if
you're making x amount of money a year, you know
that there's x amount of money left over for holidays,
et cetera. And it's like there's not really like a
huge element of surprise unless like there is, you know,
unless you are a little more separated than that financially.
(20:35):
It's interesting that you, I like that you brought this up,
and it's interesting that you have like kind of a
thing with you know, gift giving and feeling underwhelmed with
the process or I mean, was there any that you
felt underwhelmed giving this here or any that you felt
like you really like knocked it out of the park
(20:57):
or do you essentially usually feel like are just gifting
somebody something and it's just like it's just a transactional thing.
It's so it's overall, it's transactional. So when are we
going to exchange gifts? Okay, come over and do this
and that and you open it. Thank you. I'm going
to use this for a party I'm having this summer
or whatever that may be. But fast forward three months
(21:18):
and I'm sure the majority of the people that you
gifted you couldn't say, Hey, what it actually got you
for Christmas? This past year, they probably won't remember and
even and that is to say, if you went below
what you should have gotten them, or you went above you,
they won't be remembered. Like I remember one year we
(21:42):
got like ash and I bought my parents like one thing,
and then the next year we bought my mom like
a really nice purse, and the reaction was no different.
They were appreciative. The same appreciation was shown regardless of
the gift. All Right, that's it for the rest of time.
Eileen and John are getting super general gifts, easy to please.
(22:06):
But I think that have you ever bought someone a
gift that is so outrageously nice or so outrageously like,
let's just get on this little ten dollar or something
or other and the reaction has matched the price tag.
I don't think you do. It's interesting this year I
a couple gifts that I gifted got left behind, and
(22:32):
did you try and make an effort to return them? Well, honestly,
my first reaction was like, oh my god, I am
keeping this and I am keeping it for myself or
I'm returning it, but that's valid. No, it's not valid. Yes,
I the ship. Well no, I At first though, I
kind of felt like, oh, like they left that behind.
(22:54):
Like I know, it's crazy and you're wrangling you know,
kids and family members and gifts from so many people
and whatever. But still I kind of was like, huh
did they not like it? Does that mean that they
didn't like it? And probably not, but it just made
me question it is all that's pretty deep rooted. Rabbit
(23:14):
holy that I went. I thought too much about it.
I don't think that they didn't. I mean, also, if
you didn't like a gift, wouldn't you take it? I
mean then leave it. I would be like, I'm thinking
it was just a forgetful thing. You know, I think
that it's just chaotic and crazy and it was just
a forgetful thing. But it just made me question it, like,
(23:35):
oh I wonder, oh no, did they not like that
or whatever. It's just so funny because Ah and I
went out doing like last minute shopping. I think it
was like the twenty like Sunday before Christmas. Yeah, where
there's crazy people, The lines are crazy targets busy. Cost
goes busy, Macy's is busy, whatever. Every store has a
(23:55):
line up the door. And then on I think it
was Oncember twenty seven, I had to go make a
return at Costco for something that we had bought that
we didn't want, and the line was probably people deep,
and as I got close to the front, I was
starting like pay attention to see what everyone was returning,
(24:18):
and everyone we was returning to gift. So it's like
we as a society spend all this time energy. Time
is money, let's not forget so we spent all this time,
then we also spend our currency to get a gift
for someone that they just returned. Are hard work, yeah,
are hard earned money. It's so true. But I'm guilty though, Tim,
(24:40):
I did return a gift or two this year, right,
and you and you probably up getting less than they
paid for it because majority of people don't get gift receipts,
which p s a give a gift receipt. Yeah, no,
that's true. Did you give do we get gift receipts?
If they if they have them, man if they offer
him from those types of places. But also sometimes you
(25:03):
maybe buy something for someone that you don't want them
to know where how much you paid for it. That's
not how I do give giving. Let's move on. You
never discussed what your New Year's RESO was, or what
your word for the year is or anything, because I
kind of decided that maybe I did have a New
Year's resolution. Maybe my whole thing was just about doing
(25:27):
what feels good this year. That's a great There we go,
got a new Year's resolution, just got halfway through the month.
A little late to the game, but better late than never.
Of course, Tim, what about you? Did you have a
resolution or like if you could think of a word
for the year that was your goal or a but
when you said the words, we'll start with the word
(25:49):
because the word I was trying to rack my brain.
And my word for the year is going to be uninhibited.
What a good word? And I think that could be
like a ten to fifteen things of different avenues of
your life where it's like, if you want to go
for something at work, go and give it your all
(26:11):
and go get it if you want to, if you
want to, you know, build your relationship up, you know
with in your love life, and you wanted whether that's
like getting yourself back out there or you know, really
growing with the one that you're with. I think that
totally makes sense. Oh my god, yes, do it with
arms wide open. I love it. So that's my word uninhibited.
(26:31):
I can't. I struggle saying it, so I was leary
to bring it up in an audio based discussion. Uninhibited.
I love that, but that's my that's my word. Okay.
And did you have a New Year's resolution or any
goals that you wanted to accomplish this year? Well, not goals,
but I want to I want to read more because
last year for my birthday, you got me a book
(26:53):
that I just finished literally this past weekend on like
January attempt. This is a book that I have that
I knew was going to change, change it for Tim,
and it did. And you can speak on that yourself.
But this book specifically, I've read um from this author before,
(27:14):
who's Gaby Bernstein. But I've been dying to read this book,
and for over the past year, I've been literally like
itching for Tim to finish this book. And I am
so excited you finally did. And I mean to note
it's not the size of the Bible. It's a hundred
and ninety pages so it was like a very easy read.
I just you very It's not one of those books
where you could read at any time. You had to
(27:35):
kind of be in the mood for like spiritual enlightenment.
It's called the Universe has your Back if you're looking
for that this year. And I think that's where my
word uninhibited stem from, because the book is all about
living your life and surrendering yourself to the universe or
God or whatever you view as like a higher power,
(27:56):
and doing it all with love, which is kind of
going back to the beginning part of the conversation when
you brought up like doing what feels good to you,
if you do everything, would love no, not at ten times,
I would assume that it's going to feel good to
you and you are going to feel the right way.
Because also, I mean what I learned from that book
and it was so funny. I went, I went to
(28:17):
the car wash this past weekend, and I ran errands
and I more fun things that in this weekend, But
it was so I was going to the car washing.
Another resolution is that I'm trying to be like more
mindful of my time spent because I actually I heard
I think it was evil Longoria on a podcast and
(28:38):
she was talking about how like she finds so so
much success and like being very plotted and planned, which
is kind of like how you are with being on
a schedule and when you set timed Okay, I'm going
to the gym from this time to this time, gonna
work from this time to this time, whatever. But also
you like you can carve out time to be like
I'm gonna sit here on my phone and play on
(28:59):
Instagram or Twitter or or Snapchat for the next fifth
team minutes and be completely mindless. That's not like like
you deserve that. It's good for your brain to have
that mental check out, absolutely, And what's probably really amazing
and positive about doing that is that you are in
control of it instead of just choosing to go down
a rabbit hole on social media and just all of
(29:21):
a sudden, forty five minutes has gone by or twenty
minutes has gone by or whatever. You're choosing to give
yourself though that little block of time five minutes, ten minutes,
whatever it is, thirty minutes, you know, no judgment. I
love that, And also like being smart with when you
like strategically multitasking, like I had to run an air
(29:44):
in today and I knew I had to make two
phone calls on that air and for work. So it's like,
I'm not going to sit here and do nothing. I'm
going to do it while I'm driving that way. It's
like to kill killed two birds with one stone, absolutely,
because I hate that when you're just like, especially if
it's like a ly or like a family conversation, you're
just sitting there and it's like that bugs me. I
(30:05):
need to be doing something. Wait, I'm sorry, a family
or friendly conversation, what are you talking about? Like if
you're talking like a friend or your mom or something,
I can't just be sitting there. I need to be
like folding laundry or making the bed or why is that?
Because I feel very unproductive? And you know, unless you're like,
(30:27):
I don't know, like we'll face time with my little
brother who lives across the country, because then it's like
more of a uh technological happy hour. I love the
technology filed happy hour. Oh my god, technological happy hour
that is that was the bad word. That was the
wrong uh form of it. But it's really sounds fun though.
(30:51):
That makes me want to have technological happy hour. That
makes sense. But just sitting there talking with someone that
like you don't necessary really need to be catching up with,
where it's more of that like um quick catch up
rather than a whole, like deeper conversation. Okay, yeah, that
makes I avoid those conversations unless I'm doing something, even
with work calls. It's like I don't want to, like,
(31:12):
if you need to be sitting there, great, but if
you could be like driving or folding the laundry or
whatever that may be. I did laundry day, which is
very tim is all about that choice. You know what,
I need to figure out some more chores for you
to do, because clearly you need more to do while
you have these mundane conversations with those people in your life. No,
(31:34):
but they can't be loud chores. Okay, I'll think of
something I can't wait to fill your day tomorrow. Well,
I just love everything so far that we've talked about.
Positivity is the first thing that I'm just like, I
want to discuss with everybody this year, with my close
friends and family, and I want to see how everybody's
(31:55):
handling that and managing that, or if they're not, if
they haven't even been thinking about that. Self care is
huge to me and I just love that our first
episode of the New Year is all about positivity and
way to be more passionate and driven and okay, quit
using your adjective jump in then uninhabited and very uninhibited
(32:22):
in this new year. Very excited for us to have
a technological happy hour next week, So please tune in
with Tim and I. Who are you with me?
