Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey guys, I'm Kaylie Shore, and this is too much
to say good asking questions. Turn it out you all right.
We are back after a little bit of a hiatus. Um,

(00:24):
I've had a very interesting into my year and some
transitional things going on, which ultimately in the long run
are good, but in the meantime are kind of a
pain in the ass. So, um, we're back. Happy New Year.
It felt like a good time to, uh just take
a little bit of time off. I know that holidays are.
I mean, I feel like I listen to more podcasts
around the holiday, so I'm sorry that I wasn't providing

(00:46):
with you all with content. But I also, as a
podcast maker, needed a little bit of time for my
brain to have to make less things. And that's one
of my favorite things about the holidays. I get frustrated
because everything moves really slowly in the music industry, and like,
for the next three months you're gonna have people being like, sorry,
I'm just getting caught back up from the holidays, and

(01:08):
that's really irritating. But I was like, I'm gonna find
some peace in this time and whatever. So we're back.
We're banging it. It's gonna be great. Um so. On
this week's Things, Kaylee has too much to say about Uh.
I am dying at Landy Wilson going viral on TikTok

(01:28):
for because her music is so amazing. I've known Landy
for a really long time. I absolutely love her. Um
But I just like I was going through my forward
youth page and just her butt kept popping up over
and over and over and over again. And I think
she might have like one of the best asses I've
ever seen in my life. Um but she's handling it
like a champ. I don't know how I would react

(01:48):
if you know, eleven million people probably more, but that's
just how many her most viewed video has. UM are
would we're talking about my body? I don't think I
do very well. Um but she's handling it with grace
and humor, and um I'm very proud of her in general.
Her her name album bo Bottom Country is really great.

(02:10):
I love her song heart like a track, And she's
playing Abby on Yellowstone, which is a very exciting thing.
Anytime you see a musician much less like a country
musician that you're a fan of, break into the acting world,
it's just like the next level thing and it's a
don't she deserves to be elevated. So on this week's episode,

(02:31):
I want to talk about New Year's resolutions, because that's
all everybody's talking about. Um. I was a little bit
of a basic bitches here. I was like New Year
knew me and went to hot yoga on New Year's
Day and it felt really good. I mean, I don't
do stuff like that for myself as often as I should,
and it feels good to to show up for yourself

(02:53):
and do something that makes you feel healthy. It makes
your body feel good, and ultimately I would like to
be the kind of person who does more of that. Unfortunately,
the kind of classes I like to take cost money,
and I'm also trying to be smart about that. Um
that also feels a little bit like an excuse. I'm
sure I could spend twenty last dollars on alcohol week

(03:13):
and managed to afford some more yoga classes. So we're
gonna work on start in the balance. Um. But I
want to talk about some of my New Year's resolutions
that I have and the kind of person I hope
to be. I love the romanticism of New Year's I
mean I love New Year's Eve and and kissing at
midnight and the sparkles and all of that stuff, Like

(03:33):
I'm a skank for that ship. But I really love
the idea of like you're starting on a new page.
I love planners. I love all the stuff and the
organization that comes with the new year, And I think
this one's going to be really good. But I definitely
think it's gonna better than last year because last year
catasts up, yeah, and we're back. Um. So one of

(04:07):
the big things that I want to focus on in
my new year is a digital clean out. I feel
like I do a relatively good job like keeping physical
junk out of my life, but digital junk is it's
just so hard to keep up on. And I've downloaded
those apps to help you clear things like from your phone,

(04:27):
and it just doesn't help. Because the kind of clearing
out I need to do is I need to like
delete pictures with people who I'm not friends with or
not dating anymore. I mean, like, I'm kind of of
the mindset that you should always keep some of it,
Like I don't want to race the entire period of
my life. I have a box of all my like
most special things with my ex boyfriend in my storage

(04:49):
in it. I never open it. I just have it.
It felt weird to like burn everything, ever, and you know,
I don't know, I don't know if that's weird or not,
But when you're with someone for like a long as time,
it just feels it even more. I to just like
try to erase it. Um, But I do feel like

(05:10):
I have some I could make some room on my
phone and delete some photos. And the biggest thing I
hoard digitally is text messages. And I didn't know until
recently that they take up so much of your fucking
phone storage. And I need to go through and delete those,
but that's hard. And I really like going back and
reading a little text messages sometimes, and also from a

(05:31):
practicality standpoint, like whilst in therapy, it was really healthy
and helpful to go back and look at some of
these conversations with like a new mindset and be like, okay, yeah,
that actually was gasolating. That was really bad. Like when
it's in writing, it's you can't argue with it. It's
it's I just don't know what reality is and that

(05:53):
scares me, um. And I think it's because I grew
up in a home where we had a very selective reality,
and I was just constantly like, I mean, I don't
like over using the term gaslighting, but like I think
it was less like being intentionally gas lit by my family,
but more so like them being in denial about something

(06:18):
because they couldn't emotionally handle processing it, and then needing
me to also be in denial with them because they
couldn't admit it to themselves and they needed everyone around
them to also believe that in order to function. And
that's just like kind of heartbreaking that anybody would feel
like that. But I feel like I just I just

(06:38):
don't trust my own gut or instincts as much as
I should, because they're usually pretty right. It's not that
I don't have the the instinct, it's that I talked
myself out of it when I do. And I'm like, oh, no,
you're just jumping to conclusions. Like I'm very rarely jumping
to conclusions. I'm not right all the time, but like
on the important stuff, like I'm going to picking up

(06:58):
a vibe and and I'm learning that like if I
don't really like someone's energy the first time I meet
them and then we get close, something bad's probably going
to happen because I was picking up on something I
just so maybe that's a New Year's solution, just like
listen to my trust my instincts more. Um. But as

(07:20):
far as the digital clear out, um, I'm going to
delete old text, but also try to open and answer
my six and thirty six on red text messages, which
I'm not proud of. That is that is a fatal
flaw of mine, and I know that. Towards the end
of the year, I actually cleared out my email and

(07:41):
went from like four thousand emails to attend. But I
was just like, I don't I think it's like a
mental hoarding thing. Like I had this one email from
someone I really liked and wanted to write, but they
emailed me just at a time where life was really
crazy and I wanted to write with them again, but

(08:01):
I just never responded and I left it and read
because I thought I'd keep coming back to it. And
now I can't get rid of it. But it's been
like literally two years, and it's absurd that I haven't responded,
but I just can't get myself to do it. And
now I don't even live in Nashville anymore, so writing
with them is going to be really hard to coordinate.
But I can't, like, I can't delete it because then

(08:23):
that feels like I'm being a horrible person. So that's
a complicated thing. Um. And then furthering the digital clean out,
I want to cancel and like finding cancel all the
random subscriptions I have because I know that there's things
that are just like I'm paying for every month and
not using and I need to do the thing where
I cancel them and I call them and I asked

(08:44):
her refund and I know I need to do that.
I need to do that, and that's going to be
like that is triggering to think about, but I'm gonna
fucking do it. Um. And then after I clear everything out,
I want to start putting more things into the world digitally.
I haven't posted on social media a lot um, and

(09:06):
that's been nice, that's been freeing. I've really enjoyed it.
I haven't had a reason to create content because I
haven't been releasing music. But I have new stuff now
that I'm really excited to start pushing, um and get
out into the world. So that's good. Um. So look
look to that when I have some unreleased music that
I'll be posting, and um, it'll hopefully be released you know,

(09:29):
within the next few months, which is very exciting to
think about because it's been a long ast time since
I have released music. Um. Yeah, so I can't wait
for that. And yeah, so just like basically delete it
off my phone and put things into the digital universe.
That's definitely a big goal. And then as far as

(09:52):
like personal things, I have definitely some emotional goals that
I'd like to hit as well. Okay, on the personal

(10:13):
side of things, I would really like to wake up earlier.
I mean, I've given myself a little bit of a
past because I've been in a different time zone. Like
I've been in so many different time zones in the
past few months. My sleep schedules have just been like
totally fucked. But um, last night I was like, I'm
gonna get up so early today and like get all

(10:34):
my stuff done. And then I think I made the
mistake of also it's legal here, so nobody come for me.
But I smoked a lot of weed with my roommate
and then watch Broad City, which is one of my
favorite pastimes. Um. I don't smoke very often because it
makes me really paranoid. But that's really just in like
social settings, so like I could never like smoke weed

(10:55):
and then go to a party or taken edible, but
like when it comes to just a little bit and
then watching broad Cities specifically or Futurama, like that's like
my favorite favorite thing to do to relax. But I
think I just like I slept like a dead person, so, um,
I feel really rested now, but I didn't feel rested

(11:16):
when I first woke up, so um, maybe maybe a
little less of that, maybe a little more of like
ca'm amalty before bed. Um, but I want to get
up earlier, And like I really love mornings, Like I
don't know if I'm a morning I think I think
I'm a morning person, but it's like getting my sleep
schedule to a place where I can be one is hard,

(11:37):
but I prefer to get things done in the morning.
I like that it feels like a new start to
a day. And I just don't need to be staying
up late. So can we needn't watching city? Like if
I'm gonna do that, maybe start around like eight pm
and then go to bed at eleven. Like I believe
in myself I can do that. Um more yoga and

(11:59):
just eating a hell fear doesn't mean eating less. I mean,
you all know my my journey with body positivity and
all of that stuff, and so I'm not like counting
calories are doing a diet. I'm just like I'm gonna
have a little more fruits and vegetables in my diet
and not really less of anything else. I mean really

(12:21):
just like trying to get more and more vitamins and stuff.
I think that I'd feel better, and I know I'd
feel better if I worked out and like did yoga,
but I just like the gym can be triggering for
me because I get too into it, and yoga is
like the one thing that feels like very very safe
and I really like it, so M stick to that.

(12:41):
And I got a new planner and like I really
just sucking love planners. And it's annoying because then I
have to write everything in my phone too so that
my team can see like what I'm doing, because the
paper planner doesn't help communicate that to people, doesn't show
my publisher what my writing schedule is. But I really
like physically putting things down and I'm made a vision board,
like I've been that bitch this year for years like

(13:04):
just that bitch. Um, but it feels good and I
made like a vision board like physically with magazines. And
also magazines are so freaking expensive now, like they're like
each which is absurd. It's absolutely absurd. So uh, you know,
it's just I'm just winding back up to be my

(13:26):
best self and get back in the game because I've
had a very weird transitional I'm very thankful for a
lot of things. I'm really thankful that as shitty as
the past two years, where I had an amazing boyfriend
to help me get through it, I'm not sure I
could have handled like not having a buddy through all

(13:47):
of that, and um, between him and my best friend Candy,
they've been very helpful. And it's just so important to
have those people, whether they're romantic or not, who will
just keep you grounded and remind you that you're not
a worthless piece of ship. Maybe other people don't struggle
with that, but I as to struggle with that quite
a bit. So anyways, Um, we will be back next week.

(14:08):
There will be no more hiatus is. Um We're gonna
have more guests in the new year. Please let me
know who you want to have, UM, who you want
to see me have on the on the show, and
what you want to see. I love talking to you
guys on Twitter my handles at Kaylee Shore. You can
always reach around their Instagram. I don't see my d
m s because there's just too many creepy guys in
there and so I missed stuff all the fucking time,

(14:31):

to get to me um. Anyways, love you guys so much.
Happy New Year. I'm Kaylee Shore and this is too
