Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one.
Behind a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Happy weekend, friends. I'm really excited this weekend. Amy is
joining me.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
How are you, Amy, I'm good, how are you? Thanks
for being here? Yeah, thanks for having me. We made it.
We did make it. We're here to the weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And I decided that we're going to get into our
three best and worst of life right now. Okay, you
know how you typically do, like today, the best thing
about today and the worst thing about today. But we're
gonna do three and three of just life right now, okay,
And I'm gonna let you start. Should we start with
worst or best?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Let's start with worst because my worst, I know my
number one of the three is my sty Okay, the
stie in your eye. This stye my eye, which I've
been able to keep at Bay. I would say right
now my limited knowledge with sties because I had one
back in March and this is now my second. So
I don't I'm not like an expert or anything, but
(00:57):
something I'm doing differently than I did in March is
more or warm compress, and that's keeping it at Bay.
Are you using eye drops or any cat these DIY
eye drops. I have no idea if they're doing anything
other than just offering me a little bit of relief. Yeah,
and I'll take it. I'll take the relief I am.
(01:19):
I got this spray. I'll have to look up what
it is. I want to it's it starts with an
age like hypo chlor This it's a it's a spray
that you can put all over your body. Actually it
would help like if you've got acne, like maybe on
your chest or your back or your face. At least
that's what the ad was saying. But an eye doctor
(01:41):
on YouTube it's sfe to put in your eyeball. Yes,
an eye doctor on YouTube. It has to be the
right percentage of this ingredient. But you could you spray
it and it helps clean that area around Okay, your
eyelashes and your eyelid keeping it. Yeah, those are a
sties are annoying. I got to get him a lot,
(02:02):
I tell you. And that's what's so one of my
positives I'll go positive now is that I really am
the least stress that I have been. Things overall are
in a good place. And my friend was telling me
that sties come about for some people because of stress,
and I'm like, that's not the case for me. And
(02:23):
you know, then Bobby said he looked up that hormonal
changes can do it. So I've been meaning to reach
out to my doctor since he said that, and I haven't,
but I will in the next few days, just out
of curiosity, because as I'm doing the testosterone or my
yam pellet for testosterone, I'm like, shoot, is this going
(02:45):
to keep happening? Or will will it stop? Or she
never warned me about a sty or styes.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But it also makes sense because when you're introducing things
into your body that's new, your body's reacting, it's going
through a new process at this moment in time. So
oh hey, what a stye is the only thing?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Right? I think that's a wind all take it. So
I have that going for me. But shout out warm
compress if you happen to get a stye. I just
order this little patch on Amazon and you can wear
it like a patch like a pirate, or you can
just hold it to your eye and it says to
put in the microwave for fifteen twenty seconds. I do thirty,
but be careful because it really can be hot. But
(03:28):
because I'm wrapping a paper towel around it so that
I can reuse it, and it doesn't you know, you
can get it dirty. You can wash them, but I
only have one, so I need to be able to
use it multiple times a day without having to wash it.
And I don't want to contaminate it. So with the
paper towel, I feel like thirty seconds is the good
mark because the paper towel creates a barrier to the
warmth and thirty thirty seconds gets at warm ref So, well,
(03:51):
it's my titch on. This really works for me when
I had sties, so I'm like, what just normal eyeedrops?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, there's a specific I'll have to look at it.
It's like Stye is.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yes, that's what I got. I went to Walgreens and
I bought sty eye drops. Okay, last time I bought
the gel and I don't really the Stye gel for Walgreens,
and I don't really feel like that helped. So the
drops have been soothing, Like I said, they give a
little relief. Yeah, and then yeah, so I did a
negative and a positive. Are we going to go back
and forth or however you want to do it. I
(04:22):
was gonna let you roll after. Okay, so another positive.
I talked about this on my podcast this week. I
think it was my feeling of the day. It was happy.
But I just did it again last night and it's amazing.
There's this ten minute self tanner ten minutes and it
actually works well. The brand is Loving Tan. I think, yes,
(04:45):
Loving Tan is the name of the brand, and I've
used their tanning products before. But like a moose where
you sleep in it and then you wake up and
you rent off. I kept seeing people post about the
ten minute tan and I thought, okay, well I'm going
to give it a try. So I ordered it and
this is my third application, and I gotta say I'm
(05:06):
a fan. So it goes on your skin like a mask.
It feels really yummy. I don't know how to describe it,
but it just feels really nice and you keep it
on for ten minutes and then you go rense it off.
No soap, no, nothing that's important. I think the first
time I used soap because I was like eh, And
then I googled because I had already thrown away the box,
(05:27):
and I saw people sharing tips do not use soap.
You rense it off after the ten minutes and then
you can go to bed without it transferring to your
sheets or anything. But it actually feels like it gets
you tan. Well, it's developing over time, so you rense
it off and then over the next twenty four hours
from the rents it's developing. But like, look at my legs.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Do you see Hey, yeah, you got some color on there, right,
that's from it's still developing.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So I did it last night and we are in
the process of development. And then I'll well, you know,
after work or today before I have a thing tonight,
I'm gonna use soap question because I was talking about
this with a friend.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I've noticed with all of my self tanners that I do,
my shins and calves never stay dark, like I don't
know what it is about the shin calf area.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Does this happen to you? Yes, it does. And I
will say I've started to apply a little bit more
down there because that's the case.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And it's still but it's still even if I do
like a double triple go over, it's still whatever happens
on the shin and thi area or the shin in
like calf area, it's always gone.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
My tan always leaves there. First, Well, and it's funny
you bring that up, because my feeling of the day
earlier this week on Feeling Things podcast was happy because
I had done the tan I don't know, on maybe
Saturday or something, and on too, like Monday when we
recorded still there. So anyway, I still feel like my
upper body is fine and I use a spray on
(06:57):
my face, which I will say that brand is why
can't I ever remember Salty Salty, Watery Face or Salty Face. Okay,
I've looked up them and I've never used it though. Okay,
and here's my thing, this is going to be a negative.
I got an email from Salty Face saying they came
out with this new moisturizer, gradual tan. So I ordered
(07:19):
that and it's a cream and it feels again, it
feels really nice and it goes on and it feels
like you're getting moisture because self tanner can be very drying.
I'm sure people that are not into self tans are
so bored right now. But the guys are like googling products,
are like what is this? I tried it twice nothing
(07:39):
and I know it's gradual, but if I put it
on one night, I don't want to use a self
tanner every night to gradually build. No, because I want
some of my other skincare products to have time during
the week to do their thing. So not a fan,
and I feel like I want to email them and say, Hi,
I'm a big fan of your spray. So I gave
(08:01):
this some moisturizer a try and it's done nothing for me.
So last night I did the spray and I feel
like I woke up with color, and that's what I want.
I want to wake up with color. And the thing
that I love about their spray is they want you
to do your entire nighttime routine and then you just
spray that on top when you go to bed, and
I still wake up with color. Other self tanners, I
feel like it's the only thing I can put on
(08:22):
my face.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, they often say that you can't. You need to
have a completely clean body doing things.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, well this is for the salty face. That's what
I do for my face. Now I will save for
the ten minute ten Yeah, there's nothing else on my skin.
But what I was going to share with you is
that last night I only did my legs because my
upper body, probably because I walk more I just have
more or I'm walking with like a sleeveless shirt. I'm
getting more color on my arms to where I don't
(08:50):
feel like I need the self tanner. So I felt
like my arms and my chin cafe area, my leg
area was looking a little weird. And since I have
this event tonight, I have a dress, it's going to
show my ankles and feet and chin area. And I thought, well,
I better just do the quick ten minute thing and
then rinse off. And it was so easy. That's why
I'm celebrating it. And all I did was my lower
(09:11):
body I didn't do because my dress doesn't show anything.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And so we're helping by tonight. Though well it's already developed.
It is developed, but doesn't didn't you say it develops.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Over like twenty four But I mean there's a point
where it might get a little more color. But I
think that there's a point. They just probably say twenty
four hours to cover themselves, But I think at some
point your body's done what it's going to do.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Can I just also point out all the things that
we have to go through to like feel ready for things.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well, that's why my feeling of the day when I
was talking about it was happy because a tan just
makes me happier. I like it, and I don't know
that that's something that I'll ever change.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, I'm the same way, honestly, and I've been trying
really hard to love my skin more, my naturality and color.
It is really hard battle I don't I'm so I
often say that I am Edward Colan, I sparkle in
the sunlight. If I don't have a tan, like I
am pale as can be. And I'm trying really hard
just to love yes, yes, but it is so hard.
(10:14):
Every time I'm like, well, if I wear this outfit,
it looked really good with the tan, and I just
that's the thought process I have. It's it's been hard
to get into a place where I just feel very
comfortable with the natural pigment of my skin color. And
that's just also because I've been trained since I was
gosh in high school to go.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
In a tanning bed and have a tan and wear
a tan.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You can't be pale, you can't be you know, your
normal skin pigment.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
That's what we were taught. I saw that some young
people now are doing tanning beds again and smoking cigarettes,
and I don't know what is what's behind bringing those
two things back, but it was an elder millennial talking
about it, and she was like, look, I get it,
like welcome, that was my life. I did that and
(11:00):
we're all just trying to feel better. And if that
helps you, fine, but just know that tanning bed is
not your friend. Neither are the cigarettes. So cut it
out and they'll come back to haunt you. It will
in ten years. Yeah. I cringe at the thought of
me climbing into a tanning bed, but sure, sure enough,
I I had a membership. Oh so did I sometimes
(11:21):
City or whatever it was called there. I was there
every day. I was.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I didn't even need to you know, how people would
have to go and like gradually I would do the
full max. That's how much I tanned. And I'm not
paying the price with a yearly dermatology appointment with a
whole lot of freckles that I should have never had,
but I have them.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Freckles are cute, though, I think it's more the if
you've got something growing that you need to pay attention to,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But a lot of those freckles developed because I just
I was in the sun a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I was in tanning beds.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I was and I have developed things that I remember
walking into a dermatology office when I quit the tanning
bed and she was like, I'm going to see you
in fifteen years. Oh, and I was just like, I
don't need that warning.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But she, I mean, she was right.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Thankfully, I haven't had anything because I quit Cold Turkey
and I haven't been back since. But I mean, she's
not wrong. My skin is definitely paying the price for
all of that that I did.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know what popped up in my algorithm the other
day was a girl that had gotten freckles tattooed on
her face and they looked so cute. Why, like she am,
I don't know. She got just like little teeny tiny
dots like she just thought they were precious, and they
honestly really were. And of course in the comment sections
some people were tearing her apart. And that brings me
(12:42):
to another negative. Is is this my third negative? Or
miss I think you're aative? Good because see, I'm I'm
happy to be in a place where I'm struggling to
come up with negatives. However, it's I guess it's pretty
easy when you think of the Internet to think of
something negative because has people are so mean. I posted
(13:05):
a review this week on my social media of someone
left on our podcast, and they were like, I'll only
listen to Kat. I'm not going to listen to Amy.
Amy's just here trying to sell things. And I wonder
if they know that a podcast has commercials. It's just
we've been doing radio commercials for twenty years and now
(13:27):
sometimes those things roll into social media as well. But
I don't think that's what they were referring to. They
were just talking about the ads for the podcast. Okay,
it's free content that is there for you to take
in should you want. But she was saying I assume
it was a she, you know, because the comment handle
it didn't say like Sally. It said like DA one two, three,
(13:49):
four five. You know, I couldn't cost. It was on
the Apple podcast reviews and she gave it it was
like three out of five stars, which I guess the
three star were for Cat. She's like, I'll only listen
to what Cat says. Plus, I'm not going to buy
anything from Amy because she has a gazillionaire boyfriend. And
I thought, well, does it help to know that we
broke up? You're like that. By the way, we're not
(14:11):
together anymore. But it just made me think of the
negative comments. Are taking the time to actually sit down
and write that as a review on a pot send
that to me in an email. I guess if you want,
but you want to bring down our five star rating
because of your judgment on my job, Like it is
(14:35):
my job to put this content out, and we work
for company that has a whole sales team, We partner
with brands, we put out free content, and yes there's
commercials for products mixed in. It just doesn't make a
lot of sense to me.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And I like to think that those people who do
that though, because I have somewhere I swear there's just
one person who really dislikes me for some reason, and
they will just dislike every single thing that I do,
like genuinely go and dislike on purpose. I don't know
where they are, I don't know what corner of the
internet they're coming from, but I just have to think
(15:14):
that those are the same people who also leave bad
reviews on everything constantly, and it's not just a US thing,
you know, like this is not just happening to our things.
They're also leaving it on reviews for a T shirt
on a clothing company or for a fast food restaurant
that made them angry that that is just the way
that they handle life.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Well, that makes me think of my final happy or
this just like this. My third positive was this post
that the Grand Canyon put up. There's a Grand Canyon
account yeah, on Instagram, And it made me laugh and
also made me feel a little better. And so maybe
other people need this as a little happy in their life.
(15:56):
But they said the next time you feel judged, and
it was like these it was a real and the
beautiful shots of the Grand Canyon, and the text overlay
was next time you feel judge, just know the Grand
Canyon also gets reviews. Yes, and it's just so it
just it made me laugh, which that's we we have
to celebrate good humor out there, because whoever's in charge
(16:17):
of that account, that was a genius post. And then
they pulled some of the negative reviews of people being
disappointed in the Grand Canyon, and so it's like, yeah,
to your point, some people just have negative things to
say about everything. And the people leaving one star for
the Grand Canyon, they're like, eh, I was underwhelmed or
(16:40):
could have been better. It's like, okay, people, but also
just shout out to people who are creative and funny
online because that is a positive for me, and that's
a happy because I'm thankful. And it's not just the
Grand Canyon account in that post. There's actually with all
the negative that's out there online, there are so many
(17:01):
hilarious people online, and I'm thankful that they share their
gift because it definitely entertains me. And as much as
you want to give social media a bad rap, it
also gives you a space to go laugh.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh yeah, there's so many positives, but sometimes you do
have to go a.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Little searching for them instead of right in front of
your face sometimes.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And that's okay, Okay, Well those were good threes. We
got good ones there. We're gonna take a quick break
and we'll be right back. I'll share my threes, all right.
So I'm gonna start with a negative and I'll kind
of go in the same way you did. I threw
away my ORR ring. What it's on me now you're
seeing it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So we had done like a huge deep clean of
the house like it needed it. We were cleaning baseboards,
we were cleaning under ovens.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, we were like the house needed a full
deep clean, and so I had taken off my.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Orr ring while we were cleaning.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And for seven hours I could not find my ring.
And I had not left the house, been in the house,
and I'm searching everywhere up and down looking for this
spreaking ring, and I'm just like it has to be here,
but I don't know where it is.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's not in any usual place. We had just cleaned
the house.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It would be just sitting there if it were anywhere,
And so I like start tracing back my steps. I
was like, well, when I went under the oven, I
had taken it off to like try and get my
hand back into like a little area.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
But where did I put it after that happened?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And so I'm thinking, and I was like, well, I
put it on the counter, and then I cleaned off
the counter and I was like, oh, my gosh, I
think it's in the trash. I had to go through
three trash bags of so many paper towels, and finally,
like in the lat when I was about to give
up looking because it was so gross going through all this,
I just see this little shimmer of gold and I
(18:46):
was like, oh my gosh, it's in the trash.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh, I'm so happy for you because you have the
gold one that's more expensive. I have a silver one.
I initially ordered the gold. I thought they were all
the same price because I knew I wanted the gold,
so I just looked at the gold and ordered it. Well,
then when I got the golden, I didn't like the
way it looked on my skin, and I thought, well,
I think the silver might be better. So when I
went to go order the silver, ordered the silver. That's
(19:10):
when I saw it was white, cheaper like way. So,
and you have the gold one. Yeah, and that's sort
of a negative and a positive.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, that positive came like last glimmer of hope.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I mean, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
When I saw the shimmer of gold, like my heart stopped.
Which was also funny because the whole time my fiance
thought I had lost my engagement ring because I just
kept saying ring, and he was not panicked at all.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
He was like, we'll find it. It'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And when I finally found it in trash, he was like,
this whole time I thought it was your engagement ring.
I was like, you didn't freak out more that I
was concerned that I had lost the ring and he
was like, I don't know, it's just he knew it was.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Hey, gotta love the positive attitude. Yes, but I was like.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It was in the trash, so we really could have
lost it for good, but there it was. And so
that was a wild ride for about eight hour that
I just didn't know where my ring was.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So yes, also kind of a positive. But then also
I am really excited because we made the first steps
to plan our honeymoon, which is going to be in Africa.
Oh where are you all going? We're going to go.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
The plan is to go to like Cape Town, Africa
and then go on Safari's Okay, that's kind of the
dream do like a mix of beach vacation while also
going on adventures. And we like made some like calls
are in place to talk with advisors, travel advisors because
I love planning trips, but a trip to Africa is
very much overwhelming me.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
The idea if you want that like some insight.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Of people that know where to go, what to do, no,
and I know nothing, And if you need certain vaccinations
and stuff to go because there are certain areas where
they have different things, so it was really overwhelming me.
But it's the one of like for both of us,
it's a dream trip, and so I was like, we
have to make it happen.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I just don't. I'm very overwhelmed trying to figure out
how to make it happen.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And we finally found a web site and they're like,
you know, they've been in the business for like twenty years.
So we've got a six am call with them over
the weekend too, cause they're on like a completely different
time zone and we're going to talk through our whole
trip and stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So I'm really excited about that. Oh, y'all are gonna
love it. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yes, So that's that's like on my and that'll be
next year sometime. We're kind of planning it away from everything,
but it's it's been really exciting to get things in
place for that, so that.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Was a bonus.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
And then but on the flip side of that, decision
fatigue is really real. Like you think it's really hard
to to somewhere you want to eat on a weekend.
I've learned that like between planning a wedding and making
decisions for honeymoons and all things, there are endless options
for everything. There's not just one or two. It's not
like black or white. It's the whole rainbow. Are your
(21:52):
options of things that you can do for different stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And I have never felt so just decision fatigue down
like any small decision. It's like, hey, do you want
to go on a walk? I was like, I don't know.
I don't know because I feel so overwhelmed by things
to decide, you know what I mean. Like, I don't
know if you've ever felt.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
That, like decision fatigue, but it Oh, yes, I'm a mother,
so you're like, yes, well, yeah, I think mine can
pop up at times when it's dinner and I don't
at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I don't. I wish it is left up to me,
but I sometimes just don't want to even think about
making a decision of what to cook and you just
have to power through. Yeah, I never have.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, Like I've never felt it in this capacity. This
has been the first time we're ever really felt overwhelmed
by making. Normally, I feel very like I can narrow
it down to two or three and I can get somewhere.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But now it's just like even the easiest things and
I'll I'll like, look at my fiance and I'm like,
I don't want to make any more decisions. So if
it's up to me, we're doing absolutely yeah at this rate,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So that's been a like a low for me, is
learning a lot of that and how to just say
with that, I'm not good at it. I'm not good
at sitting with not having answers or not being able
to cross things off to do lists. It's just like
it just all sits there, you know what I mean.
And it's been a big learning lesson for me, an adjustment.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
So that's been really tough.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
But then we did make a decision to finally go
for a Memorial Day when we were off, we went
up to Kentucky and went to Mammoth Cave.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh I saw that. Was it amazing? Oh my gosh,
it was so cool. It looked cool.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I've been wanting to go for so long now. I
just love National parks. But that cave makes you feel
just so small. That's what I love about National parks
in general. You just feel so small. The world feels
so much bigger, Like in that cave, we're thousands of
years of history and they turned the lights off on
us at one point, and it's just pitch black that
(23:58):
not even like a shimmer of light, and you just
realize just how crazy the world feels, you know what
I mean. In that moment, it was quiet. There was
fifty people in a room. It was dead quiet, it
was pitch black, and yeah, anyway, it was just a weird,
weird feeling. And when they turned the lights back on,
(24:19):
I was like, I don't know what I just experienced with.
That was a weird feeling and cool to see the
history of it. And even what was even more wild
was obviously we know at one point everything was underwater,
you know, the states and all the different continents and stuff,
and this particular area was definitely underwater.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
There is bones of sharks and coral in the walls
that you can see. Oh wow, and.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You're in the middle of Kentucky where there's no water
besides lakes, you know what I mean. This is ocean
animals that were once there. So I geeked out over
that whole cave system. It was really cool.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
How far is the drive? Like an hour thirty minutes? Okay,
that's not bad. From Nashville to what's the name of
the park mammoth cave. Mammoth Cave. Okay, I need to
maybe take the kids to Seth They would love that.
And it's it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You definitely feel claustrophobic in moments because there's what's also
crazy is like thinking about the people who went in
and installed the stairs and stuff that are in there.
You're going down three hundred feet and you can see
how far down you're going, and I cannot imagine somebody
having gone in there and constructed the stairs that people
are now walking on that were like once in there,
(25:32):
they didn't have light to do that.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
They were using like lamps and candles, and like all
of that was just crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I always walk away from those moments really just feeling like, Okay,
all of my problems aren't that big of a deal,
and I'm just like this small little person is like
huge planet.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Does it help you with your wedding planning? It does
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, Like I needed that like reset to remind me of, yeah,
what's important?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
What matters all of those things? Because when you get
caught up on it and you're just in the busy
world for so long and in those moments, it makes
it hard to remember Okay, it's it's not that big
of a deal. You're gonna be Okay, it's not that
big of a deal if your shins and ankles aren't
tan exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, So if I could just remember that more often,
that would help me a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So those are kind of the big things right now.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
And yeah, just life, like I very much feel that
of that reset is what was needed.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
In general. I just feel a lot of overwhelm a
lot lately. And I think it's from planning so many
things and doing so much, which you also probably feel
like between being a mom and having a job and
I'm not planning a wedding, and I do, I do
remember the all the decisions that have to be made
around that, even though for me it was twenty years ago,
but it's still a lot of decision ut.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, and yeah, and that I have realized that more
comes with like wedding planning, a lot of you or
you're kind of faced with a lot of your insecurities
in the process of wedding planning, like even just looking
for dresses. I was facing a lot of my body
image problems when I was trying to make decisions on
who to invite it was looking at the family dynamics.
(27:14):
There's just so many things that come up that you're
really not anticipating. You're just like, I'm planning a wedding,
I'm getting married. This is the most exciting time in
my life. Well, also, crap, there's a lot of big
things that are gonna be put on the spotlight in
this situation. So it's just all been like a lot
of a lot of lessons while also a lot of
(27:36):
overwhelm combined into like one beautiful hurricane.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It'll all be worth it.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It will be So I am really excited, Like at
the end of the day, I'm so excited. I'm excited
to marry him. I'm excited to like go where we're
gonna go.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And my dress is beautiful. But I got.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Remy and Hazel's little outfits figure figured out, which I'm
so excited about. So it's like all the good things
are there, it's just all the other little little things
try and creep in and overshadow all the big stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
So that's where I remember, you get overwhelmed. You can
close your eyes and go back to the cave right
the pitch reset. I wish I could like bottle that
pitch blackness. You know, when you really want you have
blackout curtains and you really want just pure darkness, go
sleep in a cave. I've learned that's the only place
where you can get pure darkness. I need to get
(28:23):
more uh blackout for my room. I think that speaking
of or rings, I think that that's impacting my sleep
more than I realize. Sometimes if my neighbors have certain
lights on, they don't always leave them on, but when
they do, I feel like, I'm like, oh, they have
these string lights in their backyard. Yeah, And I think
(28:43):
when they keep those on more not I think. I
know more light is coming through one of my windows
and it's disruptive to my sleep. I wish I had
every time they've left it on and I could compare
it to my sleep score and see if that if
there's a correlation. Are you and I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Very focused on your sleep score now that you have
the ror, I've chilled out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I got way, way, way too into it, and then
I thought, Okay, I don't need this to ruin how
I'm going to live my life, Like if I'm going
to hang out longer with friends, or if I am
going to have a glass of wine, because all of
that impacts it. I started to notice like if I
don't go to bed early enough, or if I did
have wine, you know, my heart rate would be different
(29:25):
when I slept, and then my readiness score for the
next day wasn't as good. And I thought, well, is
it worth it to me to keep having not break
my streak of amazing nights of sleep? Like is that
better for me or sitting on my porch with a
girlfriend having a glass of wine and staying up a
(29:46):
little later. And I determined that sitting on my back
porch with my girlfriend is worth it more worth it,
So I'm not I think I found a balance. I've
only had the ring for what a month and a
half or maybe two months, I'm not quite sure, but
my ring, I know it's had enough time to get
to know me. And uh, I'm glad that my phase
(30:08):
of being super obsessed with it was short because it
probably could have lasted longer. Well, and it's hard. I
noticed in the ring, like I could get ten hours
of sleep, but if I go to sleep at midnight,
it's like, oh, you need to pay attention.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
To your timing. I was like, I got ten hours
of sleep. Can we not focus on the right.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I know, but they do. That's a that's the whole thing.
Aside from the ring. They talk about the type of
sleep your body will get, like the quality if you
don't go to bed in that yep, before ten pm timeframe,
like eight to nine. And it's like, Hollie, that doesn't
really like give you enough time to lift some life.
(30:42):
Like you're saying, well, you just got to start living
life earlier in the day. So I wish most people
cannot do.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know, most people are getting off work at like
five pm, so you have what five pm till eight
pm until you have to start winding out.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Well, I guess on the weekend if you what, Yeah,
some people work on weekends too. So it's it's it's
it's information, it's data. But I'm not going to live
by it, like live and die by it. Well, gud,
you have you found your balance? Yes? So you got there.
I went through the same thing.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
And I'm telling you the first time that I saw
all of my friends have the triple crown and I
was sitting there with my one half of a crown,
I was like, oh, that's okay, I need to.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Work on some things. But and then I like went
really hard, and I was like, I could I could
accomplish the triple crown, but that was all I could
focus on.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I couldn't do all the other things that I needed
to do, or I couldn't live my life in a
way that I needed to. So I did not pay
attention to the triple crown anymore. I was like, you guys,
enjoy your triple crown. I'll be over here with my
one crown. It'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah. I think you can just aim for triple crown
a couple times a week and then see what happens
with the rest.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, that's that's the goal, if I can ever get there.
So we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be back
with some listener questions. All right, any new hobbies you or.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Amy have picked up lately, Caitlin from California. I like
to know the panic in your face trying to keep
an orchid alive? Is that a hobby? I mean, planting
is a hobby. And gardening, Oh, I haven't really garden.
I know I would like to. My orchid I thought
was dying. And I will say thanks to a lot
(32:20):
of listeners after I posted on Instagram, including my sister
shout out. They're like, it's not dead. Don't give up
on it, because I was about to. And then there
was a lot of encouragement to do the soak method.
So if you have an orchid and you put it
in the sink and like soak it, like really saturate it,
you can google how to do it, but you just
(32:41):
do that every once in a while, once a week
or so. Google whatever you think is best. I don't know.
I'm new to this. Literally, the soak method was introduced
to me this week. So now I'm gonna follow whatever
protocol for the soaking that I need to do and
get it a little more sun light and then let
it do its thing. So that's a hobby.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That is a hobby, and honestly, it's impressive. I cannot
keep any plants alive. I my fiance brought in, Oh gosh,
I want to say, like ten plants when he moved in.
I think I've killed all of them. I don't know,
it's your hobby, yeah, and not intentionally.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
And I also my house doesn't.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Get a lot of natural light, which is I think
majority of the problem. I joke that it's me, but
I do think the natural light is a huge factor
with plants, but more than that, watering them and watering
them on the right way and the right capacity.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Some need ice cube, some need oh yeah, the orchids
like an ice cube every now and yeah, all the
different things and a spritzer. My sister ordered me a
cute little brass spritzer thing that I just sh missed
it and it just gives it the right amount of moisture.
But at this exact moment, it hasn't worked so far,
so you're hoping. Yeah, I was working like. I kept
(33:54):
it alive for a couple months, but then it just
like a leave started turning yellow and then all the
little pretty pedals were falling off. But apparently that's the thing,
like it does that they fall and then it will regross.
They were like, don't give up on it, because I
was like, well, this is looking pretty sad right about now.
But no, I don't. I don't have any other hobby.
(34:15):
I was gonna start sewing, but I haven't done that.
You order one, You ordered a sewing machine, ye, and
it's there. You just haven't done anything with Yeah, I
mean I did some curtains, like I just hammed the bottom.
But that was easy. You just fold it over, iron
it and then sew a straight line. It is very easy.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Did you back in school because I got I don't
even remember fact classes, maybe what it was called, but
I have so many quilts that I made in that
class in high school.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
No, you didn't. No, I took a home back in
middle school, but not high school. Okay, yeah there were
we didn't we didn't make. I don't. I don't have
anything I made, and I don't remember really we did.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
And I don't know if it was like an option
you could do cooking or sewing or whatever. But I
have like three different quilts that I made from that time,
but I could not tell you how I made them.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Now I wish I could. Yeah, that would be a
great skill, but it was there in my brain at
one point. Well, I'm sure it'll come right back. You
just gotta give it a go if you want to
make some. You know, A listener made me a T
shirt quilte once and I still have it. In fact,
I used it the other day when I was watching
a movie. I sent her a bunch of She made
it out of my dad's T shirts. So I sent
(35:23):
her all of them and then she mailed it back
to me in blanket form or quote form. Oh that's cute.
I think. I think two of them I made were
for my mom. They have like different like things of
us on them. One was for Mother's Day, and then
I think another one I did was a T shirt quilt.
So I didn't know how to make them, and they
looked really cool.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
You got to go and pick out your own fabric
and you bring them back, you put it together. I'd
work on it for an entire semester and then i'd
have my project. But I just I wish there was
some things that I kept, you know what I mean,
like retained from that time of my life. But then
you get older and they're just all gone.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
No, I don't think it's gone. I do think that
you you could pick a back up if you like
one quick recap and you'd probably Oh.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I thought that about rollerblading, and then when I did
pick it up in the first five minutes, I broke
my tail.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
So okay, well, yeah, our bodies are just different. I mean,
I think, like a skill that requires your brain, like
your brain, you think you unlock it. But then, yeah,
our bodies it's a little different, not the same. Yeah,
But I have been playing sand volleyball again, which has
been fun. I used to play volleyball a lot growing up.
But yeah, that's a good hobby.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
It's fun and I feel very exhausted after, which has
been good for me because getting back into the gym
has been very hard for me ever since I took
my break for all my health stuff, Like something about
getting back into the gym is just not the same
as it used to be, so that process has been harder,
and so sand volleyball has kind of filled that gap
for being a exercise. It's fun and it's like tricking
my brain to move and do things that I need
(36:54):
to do.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
But I'm still stretching. Is that a hobby?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Stretching is a hobby when you're older. Yeahs an easy
thing to do.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Are you doing yoga? I do hot yoga everywhere I do.
I've been doing plates, So that's a hobby. Yeah, it's
my Uh, I feel like I don't know, checking it
off my to do list of like trying to do
something to be more active than walking. I walk a lot. Yeah,
good at walking? You walk a lot. I wish I
(37:22):
had that side. Sometimes I just have to like get
off my computer and be like, you have to go
outside for twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'm not good at that, though I'm learning a lot
of lessons. How is your daughter doing? That's from Janice
in Florida.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
She is great. We're working on her summer plans. She's
going to get a job. She was working at a
smoothie place last summer, so I think she's going to
try to go back there again, uh and do that,
which I love you. No, I go and I pay.
I mean she'll bring stuff home and sometimes we will
that way, like other food items they have at the
(37:56):
end of the night, she'll get to come home with yeah,
energyes or protein balls or that's awesome. So she and
then I think she might get one smoothie while she's working,
and then anything else if she wants to buy extras
like fifty percent off or something. And because that's the
fun benefit of working at at a restored place. So yes,
(38:19):
so job. And then we're working on her school plan.
She had a zoom call yesterday with the community college
where she's going to take some of her core classes
while she figures out trade school and what she's going
to do. She really wants to be an esthetician. So oh,
so she's sticking with that. I know, there's start. I
didn't know if she was going to, but she is,
(38:40):
and so that's where we're that's where we're headed. But
we'll see. There's no rush like she can start. We
kind of want her to get some of the basics
and just some more life skills, executive function, get that going.
But with teenagers and kids, it's actually quite crazy to
me that at eighteen we all went off and no,
(39:00):
like lived our life that young, and they're like, now
we know, it's like, oh, the brain doesn't fully developed
till twenty five. Yeah, there's like seven more years that
have to happen. There's a lot that we learned during
developmental years still, and they put us into college with
a bunch of other kids at the same age. Alcohol. Yeah, yeah,
so her experience isn't going to be quite like that,
(39:23):
which she's fine with and we're okay with. You know,
I thought for a minute she might go the four
year university route and maybe even try to, yeah, be
in a sorority. Some of her girlfriends are doing that,
and that's it's interesting to see how she's navigating, like
her friends going off to do that and she's not.
But I'm proud of her. Oh good, she's doing the
(39:45):
path that's best for her. So I love that. I
can't wait trying to be happen as supportive as possible.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, I'm excited, and I can't wait to follow her
journey of Setian.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah that's what she ends up deciding together. She just
got a sew in in her hair. She does braided
extensions a lot, but just this week she got a
sew in, which is like a We had never done
it before, so it wasn't as familiar, but similar to
a wig or extensions like mine, Like I have some
(40:17):
in my hair, but it's it's human hair, that's a
hair piece. Anyway, let me show you a picture because
I can't really explain it, but it looks I've never
seen her hair like this, of course, unless it's been
one of her wigs, but even this is a little
bit more sassy and grown up. Like I'm like, oh
my gosh, she look like such an adult. Oh my gosh,
she does. I know this is a podcast and now
(40:37):
they can't see, but like in that's so pretty and
beachy and like wavy.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
She looks gorgeous and she does look like she's like
ready to be in college, and that feels crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I know, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I can't mash me the mom in that scenario. It
feels weird for me. Okay, we're gonna ask our last
question here. This is from Ken rut in Ontario. You
both have my dream job? Who do you envy for
their jobs?
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Oh? Interesting?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
M hm?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Who do I envy? And I can't even think about
it because there's somebody that comes to mind for me. Well,
I have some that are popping into my head. But
you can go ahead and go because mine or I
don't know if i'd be answering the question correctly. So
I want to see how you answer, and then I'll
probably stick with one answer I have, but we'll see mine.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Lately, and she's been just all over my feet and
watching her make like a really solid music comeback has
been fun.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
But Hillary Duff, I've oh, yeah, are you kidding? She's amazing?
That'd be so cool. She's been acting, she does it
all so fun.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
She's just I don't know something about watching her having
grown up like I watched her on Disney and then
seeing her now and her music comeback has.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Been really cool. So I totally envy her job and
just what she's done with her life.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
And she's such a cool human. I feel like she
would be fun to hang out with. So I think
I would go Hillary Duff.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, I just pulled up my phone to try to
find the account of this person because I see a
lot of Hillary stuff online too. So that's a great
If you could do that job, that would be so fun, right, Like,
let me just bodies really quick. Very Lizzie Maguire ask, Yeah,
if you did that, you would need to bring back
another season of Younger. Thank you. Yes, I love that.
(42:15):
I would appreciate that. Uh. So, there's this doctor and
I can't I don't. I know. I started following her
because she popped up enough and I liked her content.
But I love how she explains things. And that's why
I didn't know if I was going to answer this correctly,
because I I would never be able to be a doctor,
but you can't. But I envy things, Yeah, you could think.
(42:35):
I envy how her, what she gets to do for
a living, in the impact she makes on her patients,
and then also how she's brought that to others through
social media and explaining things in such a caring, thoughtful way,
and she's great at finding different trends and things that
are out there, are articles or misinformation, and then kind
(43:00):
of doing the green screen where she goes over it
and she's like, look, Okay, in theory this sounds that's up,
but in actuality, this is what's happening, and I need
you to not do this. Then I've seen my patients
coming in wanting to do this, and then she explains, yeah,
I guess the layman's terms is the best way to
put it. But she just has an amazing bedside manner.
(43:21):
I can tell, even though I've never seen her as
a patient myself. I mean, her Instagram great, I'm sure
her bedside manner unless she's just the total opposite person
that she is online. I'm sure maybe some patients that
see her online they're like, wait, what the That's not
how she is. But overall, she just seems like a
great human that's really impacting the world in her world,
(43:41):
her patients, and then her reach beyond that because of
social media, she's able to do more. I just am
thankful for her her work, even though she's not my doctor.
Yeah maybe yes, And like I can tell, she's developed
relationships with other people, other doctors online, like doctor Beachman.
I think it's beach main ten. Have you seen she's
(44:03):
gone completely virus. She has millions of followers too now
her I do know her handle, and I don't even
think that's her real last name. For a while I
thought that was her name, but that was just that's
just her handle. And she's an er doctor and I
love the way she explains things as well. And I've
seen them interact online even though I don't think they
(44:25):
know each other in real life, but they've become internet
doctor friends. And I just so, I think you'd have
internet doctor friends. I love that. I want that job.
Yeah that's a good one. Okay, good place for us

How are you, Amy, I'm good, how are you? Thanks
for being here? Yeah, thanks for having me. We made it.
We did make it. We're here to the weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And I decided that we're going to get into our
three best and worst of life right now. Okay, you
know how you typically do, like today, the best thing
about today and the worst thing about today. But we're
gonna do three and three of just life right now, okay,
And I'm gonna let you start. Should we start with
worst or best?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Let's start with worst because my worst, I know my
number one of the three is my sty Okay, the
stie in your eye. This stye my eye, which I've
been able to keep at Bay. I would say right
now my limited knowledge with sties because I had one
back in March and this is now my second. So
I don't I'm not like an expert or anything, but
(00:57):
something I'm doing differently than I did in March is
more or warm compress, and that's keeping it at Bay.
Are you using eye drops or any cat these DIY
eye drops. I have no idea if they're doing anything
other than just offering me a little bit of relief. Yeah,
and I'll take it. I'll take the relief I am.
(01:19):
I got this spray. I'll have to look up what
it is. I want to it's it starts with an
age like hypo chlor This it's a it's a spray
that you can put all over your body. Actually it
would help like if you've got acne, like maybe on
your chest or your back or your face. At least
that's what the ad was saying. But an eye doctor
(01:41):
on YouTube it's sfe to put in your eyeball. Yes,
an eye doctor on YouTube. It has to be the
right percentage of this ingredient. But you could you spray
it and it helps clean that area around Okay, your
eyelashes and your eyelid keeping it. Yeah, those are a
sties are annoying. I got to get him a lot,
(02:02):
I tell you. And that's what's so one of my
positives I'll go positive now is that I really am
the least stress that I have been. Things overall are
in a good place. And my friend was telling me
that sties come about for some people because of stress,
and I'm like, that's not the case for me. And
(02:23):
you know, then Bobby said he looked up that hormonal
changes can do it. So I've been meaning to reach
out to my doctor since he said that, and I haven't,
but I will in the next few days, just out
of curiosity, because as I'm doing the testosterone or my
yam pellet for testosterone, I'm like, shoot, is this going
(02:45):
to keep happening? Or will will it stop? Or she
never warned me about a sty or styes.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But it also makes sense because when you're introducing things
into your body that's new, your body's reacting, it's going
through a new process at this moment in time. So
oh hey, what a stye is the only thing?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Right? I think that's a wind all take it. So
I have that going for me. But shout out warm
compress if you happen to get a stye. I just
order this little patch on Amazon and you can wear
it like a patch like a pirate, or you can
just hold it to your eye and it says to
put in the microwave for fifteen twenty seconds. I do thirty,
but be careful because it really can be hot. But
(03:28):
because I'm wrapping a paper towel around it so that
I can reuse it, and it doesn't you know, you
can get it dirty. You can wash them, but I
only have one, so I need to be able to
use it multiple times a day without having to wash it.
And I don't want to contaminate it. So with the
paper towel, I feel like thirty seconds is the good
mark because the paper towel creates a barrier to the
warmth and thirty thirty seconds gets at warm ref So, well,
(03:51):
it's my titch on. This really works for me when
I had sties, so I'm like, what just normal eyeedrops?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, there's a specific I'll have to look at it.
It's like Stye is.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yes, that's what I got. I went to Walgreens and
I bought sty eye drops. Okay, last time I bought
the gel and I don't really the Stye gel for Walgreens,
and I don't really feel like that helped. So the
drops have been soothing, Like I said, they give a
little relief. Yeah, and then yeah, so I did a
negative and a positive. Are we going to go back
and forth or however you want to do it. I
(04:22):
was gonna let you roll after. Okay, so another positive.
I talked about this on my podcast this week. I
think it was my feeling of the day. It was happy.
But I just did it again last night and it's amazing.
There's this ten minute self tanner ten minutes and it
actually works well. The brand is Loving Tan. I think, yes,
(04:45):
Loving Tan is the name of the brand, and I've
used their tanning products before. But like a moose where
you sleep in it and then you wake up and
you rent off. I kept seeing people post about the
ten minute tan and I thought, okay, well I'm going
to give it a try. So I ordered it and
this is my third application, and I gotta say I'm
(05:06):
a fan. So it goes on your skin like a mask.
It feels really yummy. I don't know how to describe it,
but it just feels really nice and you keep it
on for ten minutes and then you go rense it off.
No soap, no, nothing that's important. I think the first
time I used soap because I was like eh, And
then I googled because I had already thrown away the box,
(05:27):
and I saw people sharing tips do not use soap.
You rense it off after the ten minutes and then
you can go to bed without it transferring to your
sheets or anything. But it actually feels like it gets
you tan. Well, it's developing over time, so you rense
it off and then over the next twenty four hours
from the rents it's developing. But like, look at my legs.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Do you see Hey, yeah, you got some color on there, right,
that's from it's still developing.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So I did it last night and we are in
the process of development. And then I'll well, you know,
after work or today before I have a thing tonight,
I'm gonna use soap question because I was talking about
this with a friend.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I've noticed with all of my self tanners that I do,
my shins and calves never stay dark, like I don't
know what it is about the shin calf area.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Does this happen to you? Yes, it does. And I
will say I've started to apply a little bit more
down there because that's the case.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And it's still but it's still even if I do
like a double triple go over, it's still whatever happens
on the shin and thi area or the shin in
like calf area, it's always gone.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
My tan always leaves there. First, Well, and it's funny
you bring that up, because my feeling of the day
earlier this week on Feeling Things podcast was happy because
I had done the tan I don't know, on maybe
Saturday or something, and on too, like Monday when we
recorded still there. So anyway, I still feel like my
upper body is fine and I use a spray on
(06:57):
my face, which I will say that brand is why
can't I ever remember Salty Salty, Watery Face or Salty Face. Okay,
I've looked up them and I've never used it though. Okay,
and here's my thing, this is going to be a negative.
I got an email from Salty Face saying they came
out with this new moisturizer, gradual tan. So I ordered
(07:19):
that and it's a cream and it feels again, it
feels really nice and it goes on and it feels
like you're getting moisture because self tanner can be very drying.
I'm sure people that are not into self tans are
so bored right now. But the guys are like googling products,
are like what is this? I tried it twice nothing
(07:39):
and I know it's gradual, but if I put it
on one night, I don't want to use a self
tanner every night to gradually build. No, because I want
some of my other skincare products to have time during
the week to do their thing. So not a fan,
and I feel like I want to email them and say, Hi,
I'm a big fan of your spray. So I gave
(08:01):
this some moisturizer a try and it's done nothing for me.
So last night I did the spray and I feel
like I woke up with color, and that's what I want.
I want to wake up with color. And the thing
that I love about their spray is they want you
to do your entire nighttime routine and then you just
spray that on top when you go to bed, and
I still wake up with color. Other self tanners, I
feel like it's the only thing I can put on
(08:22):
my face.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, they often say that you can't. You need to
have a completely clean body doing things.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, well this is for the salty face. That's what
I do for my face. Now I will save for
the ten minute ten Yeah, there's nothing else on my skin.
But what I was going to share with you is
that last night I only did my legs because my
upper body, probably because I walk more I just have
more or I'm walking with like a sleeveless shirt. I'm
getting more color on my arms to where I don't
(08:50):
feel like I need the self tanner. So I felt
like my arms and my chin cafe area, my leg
area was looking a little weird. And since I have
this event tonight, I have a dress, it's going to
show my ankles and feet and chin area. And I thought, well,
I better just do the quick ten minute thing and
then rinse off. And it was so easy. That's why
I'm celebrating it. And all I did was my lower
(09:11):
body I didn't do because my dress doesn't show anything.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And so we're helping by tonight. Though well it's already developed.
It is developed, but doesn't didn't you say it develops.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Over like twenty four But I mean there's a point
where it might get a little more color. But I
think that there's a point. They just probably say twenty
four hours to cover themselves, But I think at some
point your body's done what it's going to do.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Can I just also point out all the things that
we have to go through to like feel ready for things.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well, that's why my feeling of the day when I
was talking about it was happy because a tan just
makes me happier. I like it, and I don't know
that that's something that I'll ever change.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, I'm the same way, honestly, and I've been trying
really hard to love my skin more, my naturality and color.
It is really hard battle I don't I'm so I
often say that I am Edward Colan, I sparkle in
the sunlight. If I don't have a tan, like I
am pale as can be. And I'm trying really hard
just to love yes, yes, but it is so hard.
(10:14):
Every time I'm like, well, if I wear this outfit,
it looked really good with the tan, and I just
that's the thought process I have. It's it's been hard
to get into a place where I just feel very
comfortable with the natural pigment of my skin color. And
that's just also because I've been trained since I was
gosh in high school to go.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
In a tanning bed and have a tan and wear
a tan.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You can't be pale, you can't be you know, your
normal skin pigment.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
That's what we were taught. I saw that some young
people now are doing tanning beds again and smoking cigarettes,
and I don't know what is what's behind bringing those
two things back, but it was an elder millennial talking
about it, and she was like, look, I get it,
like welcome, that was my life. I did that and
(11:00):
we're all just trying to feel better. And if that
helps you, fine, but just know that tanning bed is
not your friend. Neither are the cigarettes. So cut it
out and they'll come back to haunt you. It will
in ten years. Yeah. I cringe at the thought of
me climbing into a tanning bed, but sure, sure enough,
I I had a membership. Oh so did I sometimes
(11:21):
City or whatever it was called there. I was there
every day. I was.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I didn't even need to you know, how people would
have to go and like gradually I would do the
full max. That's how much I tanned. And I'm not
paying the price with a yearly dermatology appointment with a
whole lot of freckles that I should have never had,
but I have them.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Freckles are cute, though, I think it's more the if
you've got something growing that you need to pay attention to,
for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But a lot of those freckles developed because I just
I was in the sun a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I was in tanning beds.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I was and I have developed things that I remember
walking into a dermatology office when I quit the tanning
bed and she was like, I'm going to see you
in fifteen years. Oh, and I was just like, I
don't need that warning.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But she, I mean, she was right.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Thankfully, I haven't had anything because I quit Cold Turkey
and I haven't been back since. But I mean, she's
not wrong. My skin is definitely paying the price for
all of that that I did.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
You know what popped up in my algorithm the other
day was a girl that had gotten freckles tattooed on
her face and they looked so cute. Why, like she am,
I don't know. She got just like little teeny tiny
dots like she just thought they were precious, and they
honestly really were. And of course in the comment sections
some people were tearing her apart. And that brings me
(12:42):
to another negative. Is is this my third negative? Or
miss I think you're aative? Good because see, I'm I'm
happy to be in a place where I'm struggling to
come up with negatives. However, it's I guess it's pretty
easy when you think of the Internet to think of
something negative because has people are so mean. I posted
(13:05):
a review this week on my social media of someone
left on our podcast, and they were like, I'll only
listen to Kat. I'm not going to listen to Amy.
Amy's just here trying to sell things. And I wonder
if they know that a podcast has commercials. It's just
we've been doing radio commercials for twenty years and now
(13:27):
sometimes those things roll into social media as well. But
I don't think that's what they were referring to. They
were just talking about the ads for the podcast. Okay,
it's free content that is there for you to take
in should you want. But she was saying I assume
it was a she, you know, because the comment handle
it didn't say like Sally. It said like DA one two, three,
(13:49):
four five. You know, I couldn't cost. It was on
the Apple podcast reviews and she gave it it was
like three out of five stars, which I guess the
three star were for Cat. She's like, I'll only listen
to what Cat says. Plus, I'm not going to buy
anything from Amy because she has a gazillionaire boyfriend. And
I thought, well, does it help to know that we
broke up? You're like that. By the way, we're not
(14:11):
together anymore. But it just made me think of the
negative comments. Are taking the time to actually sit down
and write that as a review on a pot send
that to me in an email. I guess if you want,
but you want to bring down our five star rating
because of your judgment on my job, Like it is
(14:35):
my job to put this content out, and we work
for company that has a whole sales team, We partner
with brands, we put out free content, and yes there's
commercials for products mixed in. It just doesn't make a
lot of sense to me.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
And I like to think that those people who do
that though, because I have somewhere I swear there's just
one person who really dislikes me for some reason, and
they will just dislike every single thing that I do,
like genuinely go and dislike on purpose. I don't know
where they are, I don't know what corner of the
internet they're coming from, but I just have to think
(15:14):
that those are the same people who also leave bad
reviews on everything constantly, and it's not just a US thing,
you know, like this is not just happening to our things.
They're also leaving it on reviews for a T shirt
on a clothing company or for a fast food restaurant
that made them angry that that is just the way
that they handle life.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Well, that makes me think of my final happy or
this just like this. My third positive was this post
that the Grand Canyon put up. There's a Grand Canyon
account yeah, on Instagram, And it made me laugh and
also made me feel a little better. And so maybe
other people need this as a little happy in their life.
(15:56):
But they said the next time you feel judged, and
it was like these it was a real and the
beautiful shots of the Grand Canyon, and the text overlay
was next time you feel judge, just know the Grand
Canyon also gets reviews. Yes, and it's just so it
just it made me laugh, which that's we we have
to celebrate good humor out there, because whoever's in charge
(16:17):
of that account, that was a genius post. And then
they pulled some of the negative reviews of people being
disappointed in the Grand Canyon, and so it's like, yeah,
to your point, some people just have negative things to
say about everything. And the people leaving one star for
the Grand Canyon, they're like, eh, I was underwhelmed or
(16:40):
could have been better. It's like, okay, people, but also
just shout out to people who are creative and funny
online because that is a positive for me, and that's
a happy because I'm thankful. And it's not just the
Grand Canyon account in that post. There's actually with all
the negative that's out there online, there are so many
(17:01):
hilarious people online, and I'm thankful that they share their
gift because it definitely entertains me. And as much as
you want to give social media a bad rap, it
also gives you a space to go laugh.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh yeah, there's so many positives, but sometimes you do
have to go a.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Little searching for them instead of right in front of
your face sometimes.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And that's okay, Okay, Well those were good threes. We
got good ones there. We're gonna take a quick break
and we'll be right back. I'll share my threes, all right.
So I'm gonna start with a negative and I'll kind
of go in the same way you did. I threw
away my ORR ring. What it's on me now you're
seeing it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So we had done like a huge deep clean of
the house like it needed it. We were cleaning baseboards,
we were cleaning under ovens.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, we were like the house needed a full
deep clean, and so I had taken off my.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Orr ring while we were cleaning.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And for seven hours I could not find my ring.
And I had not left the house, been in the house,
and I'm searching everywhere up and down looking for this
spreaking ring, and I'm just like it has to be here,
but I don't know where it is.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
It's not in any usual place. We had just cleaned
the house.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It would be just sitting there if it were anywhere,
And so I like start tracing back my steps. I
was like, well, when I went under the oven, I
had taken it off to like try and get my
hand back into like a little area.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
But where did I put it after that happened?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And so I'm thinking, and I was like, well, I
put it on the counter, and then I cleaned off
the counter and I was like, oh, my gosh, I
think it's in the trash. I had to go through
three trash bags of so many paper towels, and finally,
like in the lat when I was about to give
up looking because it was so gross going through all this,
I just see this little shimmer of gold and I
(18:46):
was like, oh my gosh, it's in the trash.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh, I'm so happy for you because you have the
gold one that's more expensive. I have a silver one.
I initially ordered the gold. I thought they were all
the same price because I knew I wanted the gold,
so I just looked at the gold and ordered it. Well,
then when I got the golden, I didn't like the
way it looked on my skin, and I thought, well,
I think the silver might be better. So when I
went to go order the silver, ordered the silver. That's
(19:10):
when I saw it was white, cheaper like way. So,
and you have the gold one. Yeah, and that's sort
of a negative and a positive.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, that positive came like last glimmer of hope.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I mean, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
When I saw the shimmer of gold, like my heart stopped.
Which was also funny because the whole time my fiance
thought I had lost my engagement ring because I just
kept saying ring, and he was not panicked at all.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
He was like, we'll find it. It'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And when I finally found it in trash, he was like,
this whole time I thought it was your engagement ring.
I was like, you didn't freak out more that I
was concerned that I had lost the ring and he
was like, I don't know, it's just he knew it was.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Hey, gotta love the positive attitude. Yes, but I was like.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It was in the trash, so we really could have
lost it for good, but there it was. And so
that was a wild ride for about eight hour that
I just didn't know where my ring was.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
So yes, also kind of a positive. But then also
I am really excited because we made the first steps
to plan our honeymoon, which is going to be in Africa.
Oh where are you all going? We're going to go.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
The plan is to go to like Cape Town, Africa
and then go on Safari's Okay, that's kind of the
dream do like a mix of beach vacation while also
going on adventures. And we like made some like calls
are in place to talk with advisors, travel advisors because
I love planning trips, but a trip to Africa is
very much overwhelming me.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
The idea if you want that like some insight.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Of people that know where to go, what to do, no,
and I know nothing, And if you need certain vaccinations
and stuff to go because there are certain areas where
they have different things, so it was really overwhelming me.
But it's the one of like for both of us,
it's a dream trip, and so I was like, we
have to make it happen.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I just don't. I'm very overwhelmed trying to figure out
how to make it happen.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
And we finally found a web site and they're like,
you know, they've been in the business for like twenty years.
So we've got a six am call with them over
the weekend too, cause they're on like a completely different
time zone and we're going to talk through our whole
trip and stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So I'm really excited about that. Oh, y'all are gonna
love it. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yes, So that's that's like on my and that'll be
next year sometime. We're kind of planning it away from everything,
but it's it's been really exciting to get things in
place for that, so that.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Was a bonus.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
And then but on the flip side of that, decision
fatigue is really real. Like you think it's really hard
to to somewhere you want to eat on a weekend.
I've learned that like between planning a wedding and making
decisions for honeymoons and all things, there are endless options
for everything. There's not just one or two. It's not
like black or white. It's the whole rainbow. Are your
(21:52):
options of things that you can do for different stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And I have never felt so just decision fatigue down
like any small decision. It's like, hey, do you want
to go on a walk? I was like, I don't know.
I don't know because I feel so overwhelmed by things
to decide, you know what I mean. Like, I don't
know if you've ever felt.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
That, like decision fatigue, but it Oh, yes, I'm a mother,
so you're like, yes, well, yeah, I think mine can
pop up at times when it's dinner and I don't
at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I don't. I wish it is left up to me,
but I sometimes just don't want to even think about
making a decision of what to cook and you just
have to power through. Yeah, I never have.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, Like I've never felt it in this capacity. This
has been the first time we're ever really felt overwhelmed
by making. Normally, I feel very like I can narrow
it down to two or three and I can get somewhere.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
But now it's just like even the easiest things and
I'll I'll like, look at my fiance and I'm like,
I don't want to make any more decisions. So if
it's up to me, we're doing absolutely yeah at this rate,
I get it.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So that's been a like a low for me, is
learning a lot of that and how to just say
with that, I'm not good at it. I'm not good
at sitting with not having answers or not being able
to cross things off to do lists. It's just like
it just all sits there, you know what I mean.
And it's been a big learning lesson for me, an adjustment.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
So that's been really tough.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
But then we did make a decision to finally go
for a Memorial Day when we were off, we went
up to Kentucky and went to Mammoth Cave.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh I saw that. Was it amazing? Oh my gosh,
it was so cool. It looked cool.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I've been wanting to go for so long now. I
just love National parks. But that cave makes you feel
just so small. That's what I love about National parks
in general. You just feel so small. The world feels
so much bigger, Like in that cave, we're thousands of
years of history and they turned the lights off on
us at one point, and it's just pitch black that
(23:58):
not even like a shimmer of light, and you just
realize just how crazy the world feels, you know what
I mean. In that moment, it was quiet. There was
fifty people in a room. It was dead quiet, it
was pitch black, and yeah, anyway, it was just a weird,
weird feeling. And when they turned the lights back on,
(24:19):
I was like, I don't know what I just experienced with.
That was a weird feeling and cool to see the
history of it. And even what was even more wild
was obviously we know at one point everything was underwater,
you know, the states and all the different continents and stuff,
and this particular area was definitely underwater.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
There is bones of sharks and coral in the walls
that you can see. Oh wow, and.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You're in the middle of Kentucky where there's no water
besides lakes, you know what I mean. This is ocean
animals that were once there. So I geeked out over
that whole cave system. It was really cool.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
How far is the drive? Like an hour thirty minutes? Okay,
that's not bad. From Nashville to what's the name of
the park mammoth cave. Mammoth Cave. Okay, I need to
maybe take the kids to Seth They would love that.
And it's it.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
You definitely feel claustrophobic in moments because there's what's also
crazy is like thinking about the people who went in
and installed the stairs and stuff that are in there.
You're going down three hundred feet and you can see
how far down you're going, and I cannot imagine somebody
having gone in there and constructed the stairs that people
are now walking on that were like once in there,
(25:32):
they didn't have light to do that.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
They were using like lamps and candles, and like all
of that was just crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I always walk away from those moments really just feeling like, Okay,
all of my problems aren't that big of a deal,
and I'm just like this small little person is like
huge planet.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Does it help you with your wedding planning? It does
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, Like I needed that like reset to remind me of, yeah,
what's important?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
What matters all of those things? Because when you get
caught up on it and you're just in the busy
world for so long and in those moments, it makes
it hard to remember Okay, it's it's not that big
of a deal. You're gonna be Okay, it's not that
big of a deal if your shins and ankles aren't
tan exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, So if I could just remember that more often,
that would help me a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
So those are kind of the big things right now.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
And yeah, just life, like I very much feel that
of that reset is what was needed.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
In general. I just feel a lot of overwhelm a
lot lately. And I think it's from planning so many
things and doing so much, which you also probably feel
like between being a mom and having a job and
I'm not planning a wedding, and I do, I do
remember the all the decisions that have to be made
around that, even though for me it was twenty years ago,
but it's still a lot of decision ut.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, and yeah, and that I have realized that more
comes with like wedding planning, a lot of you or
you're kind of faced with a lot of your insecurities
in the process of wedding planning, like even just looking
for dresses. I was facing a lot of my body
image problems when I was trying to make decisions on
who to invite it was looking at the family dynamics.
(27:14):
There's just so many things that come up that you're
really not anticipating. You're just like, I'm planning a wedding,
I'm getting married. This is the most exciting time in
my life. Well, also, crap, there's a lot of big
things that are gonna be put on the spotlight in
this situation. So it's just all been like a lot
of a lot of lessons while also a lot of
(27:36):
overwhelm combined into like one beautiful hurricane.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It'll all be worth it.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It will be So I am really excited, Like at
the end of the day, I'm so excited. I'm excited
to marry him. I'm excited to like go where we're
gonna go.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And my dress is beautiful. But I got.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Remy and Hazel's little outfits figure figured out, which I'm
so excited about. So it's like all the good things
are there, it's just all the other little little things
try and creep in and overshadow all the big stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
So that's where I remember, you get overwhelmed. You can
close your eyes and go back to the cave right
the pitch reset. I wish I could like bottle that
pitch blackness. You know, when you really want you have
blackout curtains and you really want just pure darkness, go
sleep in a cave. I've learned that's the only place
where you can get pure darkness. I need to get
(28:23):
more uh blackout for my room. I think that speaking
of or rings, I think that that's impacting my sleep
more than I realize. Sometimes if my neighbors have certain
lights on, they don't always leave them on, but when
they do, I feel like, I'm like, oh, they have
these string lights in their backyard. Yeah, And I think
(28:43):
when they keep those on more not I think. I
know more light is coming through one of my windows
and it's disruptive to my sleep. I wish I had
every time they've left it on and I could compare
it to my sleep score and see if that if
there's a correlation. Are you and I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Very focused on your sleep score now that you have
the ror, I've chilled out a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I got way, way, way too into it, and then
I thought, Okay, I don't need this to ruin how
I'm going to live my life, Like if I'm going
to hang out longer with friends, or if I am
going to have a glass of wine, because all of
that impacts it. I started to notice like if I
don't go to bed early enough, or if I did
have wine, you know, my heart rate would be different
(29:25):
when I slept, and then my readiness score for the
next day wasn't as good. And I thought, well, is
it worth it to me to keep having not break
my streak of amazing nights of sleep? Like is that
better for me or sitting on my porch with a
girlfriend having a glass of wine and staying up a
(29:46):
little later. And I determined that sitting on my back
porch with my girlfriend is worth it more worth it,
So I'm not I think I found a balance. I've
only had the ring for what a month and a
half or maybe two months, I'm not quite sure, but
my ring, I know it's had enough time to get
to know me. And uh, I'm glad that my phase
(30:08):
of being super obsessed with it was short because it
probably could have lasted longer. Well, and it's hard. I
noticed in the ring, like I could get ten hours
of sleep, but if I go to sleep at midnight,
it's like, oh, you need to pay attention.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
To your timing. I was like, I got ten hours
of sleep. Can we not focus on the right.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I know, but they do. That's a that's the whole thing.
Aside from the ring. They talk about the type of
sleep your body will get, like the quality if you
don't go to bed in that yep, before ten pm timeframe,
like eight to nine. And it's like, Hollie, that doesn't
really like give you enough time to lift some life.
(30:42):
Like you're saying, well, you just got to start living
life earlier in the day. So I wish most people
cannot do.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know, most people are getting off work at like
five pm, so you have what five pm till eight
pm until you have to start winding out.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Well, I guess on the weekend if you what, Yeah,
some people work on weekends too. So it's it's it's
it's information, it's data. But I'm not going to live
by it, like live and die by it. Well, gud,
you have you found your balance? Yes? So you got there.
I went through the same thing.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
And I'm telling you the first time that I saw
all of my friends have the triple crown and I
was sitting there with my one half of a crown,
I was like, oh, that's okay, I need to.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Work on some things. But and then I like went
really hard, and I was like, I could I could
accomplish the triple crown, but that was all I could
focus on.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I couldn't do all the other things that I needed
to do, or I couldn't live my life in a
way that I needed to. So I did not pay
attention to the triple crown anymore. I was like, you guys,
enjoy your triple crown. I'll be over here with my
one crown. It'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah. I think you can just aim for triple crown
a couple times a week and then see what happens
with the rest.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, that's that's the goal, if I can ever get there.
So we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be back
with some listener questions. All right, any new hobbies you or.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Amy have picked up lately, Caitlin from California. I like
to know the panic in your face trying to keep
an orchid alive? Is that a hobby? I mean, planting
is a hobby. And gardening, Oh, I haven't really garden.
I know I would like to. My orchid I thought
was dying. And I will say thanks to a lot
(32:20):
of listeners after I posted on Instagram, including my sister
shout out. They're like, it's not dead. Don't give up
on it, because I was about to. And then there
was a lot of encouragement to do the soak method.
So if you have an orchid and you put it
in the sink and like soak it, like really saturate it,
you can google how to do it, but you just
(32:41):
do that every once in a while, once a week
or so. Google whatever you think is best. I don't know.
I'm new to this. Literally, the soak method was introduced
to me this week. So now I'm gonna follow whatever
protocol for the soaking that I need to do and
get it a little more sun light and then let
it do its thing. So that's a hobby.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
That is a hobby, and honestly, it's impressive. I cannot
keep any plants alive. I my fiance brought in, Oh gosh,
I want to say, like ten plants when he moved in.
I think I've killed all of them. I don't know,
it's your hobby, yeah, and not intentionally.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
And I also my house doesn't.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Get a lot of natural light, which is I think
majority of the problem. I joke that it's me, but
I do think the natural light is a huge factor
with plants, but more than that, watering them and watering
them on the right way and the right capacity.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Some need ice cube, some need oh yeah, the orchids
like an ice cube every now and yeah, all the
different things and a spritzer. My sister ordered me a
cute little brass spritzer thing that I just sh missed
it and it just gives it the right amount of moisture.
But at this exact moment, it hasn't worked so far,
so you're hoping. Yeah, I was working like. I kept
(33:54):
it alive for a couple months, but then it just
like a leave started turning yellow and then all the
little pretty pedals were falling off. But apparently that's the thing,
like it does that they fall and then it will regross.
They were like, don't give up on it, because I
was like, well, this is looking pretty sad right about now.
But no, I don't. I don't have any other hobby.
(34:15):
I was gonna start sewing, but I haven't done that.
You order one, You ordered a sewing machine, ye, and
it's there. You just haven't done anything with Yeah, I
mean I did some curtains, like I just hammed the bottom.
But that was easy. You just fold it over, iron
it and then sew a straight line. It is very easy.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Did you back in school because I got I don't
even remember fact classes, maybe what it was called, but
I have so many quilts that I made in that
class in high school.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
No, you didn't. No, I took a home back in
middle school, but not high school. Okay, yeah there were
we didn't we didn't make. I don't. I don't have
anything I made, and I don't remember really we did.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
And I don't know if it was like an option
you could do cooking or sewing or whatever. But I
have like three different quilts that I made from that time,
but I could not tell you how I made them.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Now I wish I could. Yeah, that would be a
great skill, but it was there in my brain at
one point. Well, I'm sure it'll come right back. You
just gotta give it a go if you want to
make some. You know, A listener made me a T
shirt quilte once and I still have it. In fact,
I used it the other day when I was watching
a movie. I sent her a bunch of She made
it out of my dad's T shirts. So I sent
(35:23):
her all of them and then she mailed it back
to me in blanket form or quote form. Oh that's cute.
I think. I think two of them I made were
for my mom. They have like different like things of
us on them. One was for Mother's Day, and then
I think another one I did was a T shirt quilt.
So I didn't know how to make them, and they
looked really cool.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
You got to go and pick out your own fabric
and you bring them back, you put it together. I'd
work on it for an entire semester and then i'd
have my project. But I just I wish there was
some things that I kept, you know what I mean,
like retained from that time of my life. But then
you get older and they're just all gone.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
No, I don't think it's gone. I do think that
you you could pick a back up if you like
one quick recap and you'd probably Oh.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I thought that about rollerblading, and then when I did
pick it up in the first five minutes, I broke
my tail.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
So okay, well, yeah, our bodies are just different. I mean,
I think, like a skill that requires your brain, like
your brain, you think you unlock it. But then, yeah,
our bodies it's a little different, not the same. Yeah,
But I have been playing sand volleyball again, which has
been fun. I used to play volleyball a lot growing up.
But yeah, that's a good hobby.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
It's fun and I feel very exhausted after, which has
been good for me because getting back into the gym
has been very hard for me ever since I took
my break for all my health stuff, Like something about
getting back into the gym is just not the same
as it used to be, so that process has been harder,
and so sand volleyball has kind of filled that gap
for being a exercise. It's fun and it's like tricking
my brain to move and do things that I need
(36:54):
to do.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
But I'm still stretching. Is that a hobby?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Stretching is a hobby when you're older. Yeahs an easy
thing to do.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Are you doing yoga? I do hot yoga everywhere I do.
I've been doing plates, So that's a hobby. Yeah, it's
my Uh, I feel like I don't know, checking it
off my to do list of like trying to do
something to be more active than walking. I walk a lot. Yeah,
good at walking? You walk a lot. I wish I
(37:22):
had that side. Sometimes I just have to like get
off my computer and be like, you have to go
outside for twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'm not good at that, though I'm learning a lot
of lessons. How is your daughter doing? That's from Janice
in Florida.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
She is great. We're working on her summer plans. She's
going to get a job. She was working at a
smoothie place last summer, so I think she's going to
try to go back there again, uh and do that,
which I love you. No, I go and I pay.
I mean she'll bring stuff home and sometimes we will
that way, like other food items they have at the
(37:56):
end of the night, she'll get to come home with yeah,
energyes or protein balls or that's awesome. So she and
then I think she might get one smoothie while she's working,
and then anything else if she wants to buy extras
like fifty percent off or something. And because that's the
fun benefit of working at at a restored place. So yes,
(38:19):
so job. And then we're working on her school plan.
She had a zoom call yesterday with the community college
where she's going to take some of her core classes
while she figures out trade school and what she's going
to do. She really wants to be an esthetician. So oh,
so she's sticking with that. I know, there's start. I
didn't know if she was going to, but she is,
(38:40):
and so that's where we're that's where we're headed. But
we'll see. There's no rush like she can start. We
kind of want her to get some of the basics
and just some more life skills, executive function, get that going.
But with teenagers and kids, it's actually quite crazy to
me that at eighteen we all went off and no,
(39:00):
like lived our life that young, and they're like, now
we know, it's like, oh, the brain doesn't fully developed
till twenty five. Yeah, there's like seven more years that
have to happen. There's a lot that we learned during
developmental years still, and they put us into college with
a bunch of other kids at the same age. Alcohol. Yeah, yeah,
so her experience isn't going to be quite like that,
(39:23):
which she's fine with and we're okay with. You know,
I thought for a minute she might go the four
year university route and maybe even try to, yeah, be
in a sorority. Some of her girlfriends are doing that,
and that's it's interesting to see how she's navigating, like
her friends going off to do that and she's not.
But I'm proud of her. Oh good, she's doing the
(39:45):
path that's best for her. So I love that. I
can't wait trying to be happen as supportive as possible.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, I'm excited, and I can't wait to follow her
journey of Setian.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah that's what she ends up deciding together. She just
got a sew in in her hair. She does braided
extensions a lot, but just this week she got a
sew in, which is like a We had never done
it before, so it wasn't as familiar, but similar to
a wig or extensions like mine, Like I have some
(40:17):
in my hair, but it's it's human hair, that's a
hair piece. Anyway, let me show you a picture because
I can't really explain it, but it looks I've never
seen her hair like this, of course, unless it's been
one of her wigs, but even this is a little
bit more sassy and grown up. Like I'm like, oh
my gosh, she look like such an adult. Oh my gosh,
she does. I know this is a podcast and now
(40:37):
they can't see, but like in that's so pretty and
beachy and like wavy.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
She looks gorgeous and she does look like she's like
ready to be in college, and that feels crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I know, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I can't mash me the mom in that scenario. It
feels weird for me. Okay, we're gonna ask our last
question here. This is from Ken rut in Ontario. You
both have my dream job? Who do you envy for
their jobs?
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Oh? Interesting?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
M hm?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Who do I envy? And I can't even think about
it because there's somebody that comes to mind for me. Well,
I have some that are popping into my head. But
you can go ahead and go because mine or I
don't know if i'd be answering the question correctly. So
I want to see how you answer, and then I'll
probably stick with one answer I have, but we'll see mine.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Lately, and she's been just all over my feet and
watching her make like a really solid music comeback has
been fun.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
But Hillary Duff, I've oh, yeah, are you kidding? She's amazing?
That'd be so cool. She's been acting, she does it
all so fun.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
She's just I don't know something about watching her having
grown up like I watched her on Disney and then
seeing her now and her music comeback has.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Been really cool. So I totally envy her job and
just what she's done with her life.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
And she's such a cool human. I feel like she
would be fun to hang out with. So I think
I would go Hillary Duff.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, I just pulled up my phone to try to
find the account of this person because I see a
lot of Hillary stuff online too. So that's a great
If you could do that job, that would be so fun, right, Like,
let me just bodies really quick. Very Lizzie Maguire ask, Yeah,
if you did that, you would need to bring back
another season of Younger. Thank you. Yes, I love that.
(42:15):
I would appreciate that. Uh. So, there's this doctor and
I can't I don't. I know. I started following her
because she popped up enough and I liked her content.
But I love how she explains things. And that's why
I didn't know if I was going to answer this correctly,
because I I would never be able to be a doctor,
but you can't. But I envy things, Yeah, you could think.
(42:35):
I envy how her, what she gets to do for
a living, in the impact she makes on her patients,
and then also how she's brought that to others through
social media and explaining things in such a caring, thoughtful way,
and she's great at finding different trends and things that
are out there, are articles or misinformation, and then kind
(43:00):
of doing the green screen where she goes over it
and she's like, look, Okay, in theory this sounds that's up,
but in actuality, this is what's happening, and I need
you to not do this. Then I've seen my patients
coming in wanting to do this, and then she explains, yeah,
I guess the layman's terms is the best way to
put it. But she just has an amazing bedside manner.
(43:21):
I can tell, even though I've never seen her as
a patient myself. I mean, her Instagram great, I'm sure
her bedside manner unless she's just the total opposite person
that she is online. I'm sure maybe some patients that
see her online they're like, wait, what the That's not
how she is. But overall, she just seems like a
great human that's really impacting the world in her world,
(43:41):
her patients, and then her reach beyond that because of
social media, she's able to do more. I just am
thankful for her her work, even though she's not my doctor.
Yeah maybe yes, And like I can tell, she's developed
relationships with other people, other doctors online, like doctor Beachman.
I think it's beach main ten. Have you seen she's
(44:03):
gone completely virus. She has millions of followers too now
her I do know her handle, and I don't even
think that's her real last name. For a while I
thought that was her name, but that was just that's
just her handle. And she's an er doctor and I
love the way she explains things as well. And I've
seen them interact online even though I don't think they
(44:25):
know each other in real life, but they've become internet
doctor friends. And I just so, I think you'd have
internet doctor friends. I love that. I want that job.
Yeah that's a good one. Okay, good place for us
to in on Amy tell the peop where they can
