Join us in a reflective episode as we ponder the era that awaits for us in 2024.

Today we are sharing personal insights and exciting plans for the transformative journey ahead. Discover the joy of crafting your era, embracing change, and navigating the uncharted waters of the upcoming year!
In this episode, we discuss the following:

say that I can't sing, and Iknow that that was not a very
good rendition, but I have anexcuse, because in a celebration
the excuse is I'm sick, which,if you know me, I don't get sick
.
That is not a Roxanne thing.
I have been sick for two and ahalf weeks, but like laid out
(01:37):
for a week, like it was coming.
It was coming, and for a weekI've been laid out and I can.
oh sorry frog in the throat canfinally say for the last two
days I have been able to likespend a full day not laying down
.
Wow, I need water.
That was a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So Scott has had a week of you not singing.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I didn't say that.
Well, you know it's funnybecause he's always acts like he
doesn't like when I sing, butthen he puts on songs I like and
then he's they'll go.
I thought you like this song.
Like darling, I'm sick, I'mcoughing, I cannot see it, but I
do enjoy it.
So he does actually like mesinging.
You see how that works, yeah.

They hate on you for it, but then they're like wait,
wait, I actually like you.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's what he said.
Yeah, yeah so, but you knowit's interesting.
It's not interesting to anyonewho is a woman, but if you're
not a woman, you listen to this.
It's interesting is, whenyou're a woman and you're sick,
nobody cares.
I mean, they care, but theystill want all the things you
always get them.
My dog doesn't give two rips ifI'm sick.
(02:44):
She wants her food, she wantsher comfort and, honestly, my
husband, while he cares and he'sbeen so sweet, he still wants
his food.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, and it doesn't get better.
I'm here to tell you.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Can't imagine with your two kiddies when you're
sick.
They don't.
They like we want you feelbetter, but they don't care.
I said to him.
I said do you realize, when I'msick because there are, there
are days I'll admit that Ididn't shower, like I didn't
have the strength, and he waslike you haven't showered for
like two days.
And I said you know why?
Because the little energy I didhave, I took and made your food
(03:22):
, cause you're weird, you want asick person to make your food.
That's weird.
I go when you're sick causehe's the mat major cleaner of
the place.
I said you don't clean and you,when you're sick, you lay in
bed and you just like, oh, I'msick, and there's no cleaning
that is done when I'm sick.
(03:43):
Heaven forbid, anyone has toeat.
They still have to eat.
What the heck?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, don't even get me going, cause I got a good
story from this summer and I'mjust going to let it pass.
I'm going to let it pass.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I feel like you're letting it pass, cause the
emotions from it aren't fullygone.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Oh yeah, it's a very salty wound.
What is that about?
I know what we.
There was a lot of delivery.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'll tell you that grocery delivery, food delivery,
because but I did some cookingand like what the heck Anyway.
So this is me better ish.
I feel like I do like a hey Cando the deep sultry voice, yeah,
I do some 900 number, I don'teven know I.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know I don't call them, so I'm not the person to
ask.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't.
I don't call them either, Ijust know that they're a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I'm sure they're still a thing.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, probably, or there's some iteration of it now
, right, yes, yes.
Do you know that that magazinePlayboy doesn't exist anymore?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they stopped it when you died
right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, maybe perhaps that's amazing, like that tells
you the iteration and the, thetransformation of like magazines
, the fact that magazines havejust like a lot of.
I used to love readingmagazines, not playboy, but
other magazines like 17 and Imean and mademoiselle, yeah, and
what was that?
Was it in style, the one thatwas kind of like the?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
one that was like oh yeah, there was one in style
yeah well, and I self magazine.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
There's a meeting called or there's magazine
called lucky, all about shopping.
But it's so interesting to methat magazines are kind of
they've kind of died.
A lot of them no longer print.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They don't.
But ironically I just bought mykids a magazine subscription
for Something so they can getlike something in the mail and
it's like about animals, youknow.
Highlights magazine.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I was just a highlight.
That was my first magazine.
I loved it.
In the back we had like what'sdifferent and he had a circle of
things.
Yeah, I loved highlights.
Oh, that was the best, sothat's still going.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
so I got it at and I was like, oh my god, yes, I want
something that's more likehands-on, because we home school
and everything is digital, likeconstantly.
And I'm like, no, I want, like,I don't want to go print it out
myself, I want something tocome to me you know you should
talk to Grace.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
She's with paper pie and Her favorite thing of paper
by used to be a sport books.
For those of you like what theheck is paper by our activity
books and so they have likethese books, like never get
bored books and things that just, and also like the wife books
and whatnot.
And you know you should not her.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, I mean, I have ordered from her.
I have books.
Oh, yeah, yeah, please don'tspam me anyone, I didn't say you
should talk to everyone frompaper, by grace.
Oh my gosh.
And then I got to.
I'm like Roxanne, you'resetting me up.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So any hill as we talk about this.
So this time of year we usuallytalk about like our Word of the
year and we've delayed a littlebecause my brain has been so
foggy I'm like I can't eventhink about tomorrow.
I just try to figure out if I'mgonna cough all night long.
But Today this morning I waslaying in bed I'm like and I
(07:04):
said you know what, roxanne,we're not gonna talk about the
word of the year.
Oh Okay, y'all need to know.
Sidebar, my sweet, lovely,lovely co-host, taryn, likes to
know what's happening before weget on air.
I Do, and then there's dayswhere I'm like I know she wants
to know, but I want her raw like.
(07:26):
So this is what I was thinkingin the the Trend, and we're in
the Taylor Swift Age.
So why are we doing words?
We should do eras.
What is your era?
So 2024 is your era of now.
Y'all listen, it's, it's a,it's a word play.
You could still, it could stillcould be your word.
(07:47):
But I loved these days sayinglike rather than saying I'm in
the, thus the, whatever phase.
I'm like, I'm in the somethingera.
You know, I just think that's acool way to say it.
Yeah, what if we say what isour era?
2024 is the blah, blah, blahera of you.
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
See, I like to put thought into this.
So like for me to stir rift onone, but it can still be your
word, yeah you know what I'msaying.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah okay, you go first then.
So I was thinking about this.
I'm like okay, because Honestly, I think something's happening.
Because I'm like a word justdoesn't cover what's happening
to me right now, because I'mright in.
I would say what era am I inright now, at the end of 2023?
I'm in my cocoon era and so Ithink that my era for 2024 is
(08:39):
going to be and I was going backand forth, but I think it's my
blossom era I was gonna saybutterfly, but it's kind of the
same, so I might use thoseinterchangeably.
But it's like I've beencocooning, you know, and you get
the caterpillar and thecaterpillars they're cocooning
and all these things arehappening.
And I'm about to like ba-la andjust like a peony on, like
(09:01):
opens because you know I lovepeonies Like I'm in my peony era
.
That's my era, my peony era.
Or it's like pfft, not the bubbut the peony, like ba-ta,
that's my era.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So what does that entail in 2024?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
What does that mean?
Well, here's the deal.
I think we told you a few weeksago that I'm moving.
The move has gotten moved up,so I'm moving the end of 2023.
So literally we will be.
And because we're not going tothe Rose Bowl for the first time
in like I don't know, ncaa hasjust ruined my traditions, but
(09:35):
we'll get like NCAA has ruinedall the traditions and all that
and the pack it's not a pack 12year and now, with all the
different transitions, the lastyear I'll have gone to the Rose
Bowl in the iteration and thebeautifulness that the Rose Bowl
has been was last year.
It's like an air that air isover.
No, we know, we know, oh, youdid okay.
(09:56):
Because every few years it's achampionship game, like a
playoff game, and those years wedon't get to go because it's
not a pack 12 game.
But now that the pack 12 islike defunct, there won't be
that tradition anymore.
It's just so sad.
And now ASU is going to the big12.
So I'm hoping the big 12, I'mhoping we get to go to the
Orange Bowl I'm not OrangeCotton Bowl, but we'll see.
(10:17):
Anyhow, all that to say thatRose Bowl era has gone away,
it's ended, which is so sad.
But the cool thing is we willbe.
We will be turning the page ofthe year, like literally, I
think we should go to our newhouse and like do it there,
although we won't haveeverything in it and stuff, but
(10:39):
that will be turning and we'llbe there.
So that's kind of a cool likeokay, we got married this year
doing all these things.
So that's number one.
I'm gonna definitely.
I know part of my peony era isjust like sharing more about my
life.
It's like I have done less ofthat over the last few years and
you're gonna see more of thaton social.
(11:00):
I don't know if that means I'mgoing to do two Instagram
accounts.
You know y'all that drives meinsane, but I might.
I might do two.
I might kind of just doublepost and see what happens and
then kind of play around with it, which is so.
You're gonna see a lot of likethe growth and transition,
because, you know, some peoplemight not wanna hear what's
going on in my life and Iunderstand that, but yeah, you
can scroll past those.
(11:20):
So you're gonna see a lot ofthat.
You may see an additionalpodcast come out of me next year
.
I'm just you asked, I'm justputting it out there.
You're gonna see a lot of, yeah, if you ever wanted to know,
like unpeel, the onion of rocks,and you're gonna see it next
(11:42):
year because it's my peonyseason.
Era excuse, my peony era so.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Era, era.
I like that, okay.
Okay, I've thought through minea little bit and we can kind of
develop it here live Like Ijust did yes, yes.
So my I was stuck between twowords Tell us, and they go
together.
So one word was gonna bebecoming, because this past year
(12:08):
2023 in reflection has been alot of change, right?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Like we.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I officially launched my podcast business side of
things like in the end of 2022,but it's like grown through 2023
.
I now consider myself like abusiness, whereas people I used
to call it like my job, you know, and now I'm like no, like this
is my business.
So that's evolved.
We started homeschooling, wemoved, we now live in Tennessee,
(12:41):
like we travel more, Likethere's just been a lot of
changes and things that I waskind of cutting ties and I'm
like becoming more Taren andwhat that means and not what
other people think Taren means.
Right, but then the other wordI was going with was maybe even
release and having it be more oflike a surrender, because
(13:05):
there's other things like Iwanna release through the next
year.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I'm sorry go back, because you said last year, this
year was changed, but what wasthe first word?
Becoming, Becoming, that'sright, becoming Okay.
And then the other one isletting go.
Okay, carry on.
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yes, so last year my word was mindful.
That's how I got through,that's how I made a lot of
decisions.
I sat down and I thoughtthrough them and like was very
mindful about them.
And so the next year I'mthinking it's like either
becoming or releasing.
And what would that era be?
The era of Taren?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I like.
Well, I mean, it's your choice.
I like becoming, because Ithink becoming incorporates
encapsulates, letting somethings go, but it also talks
about your growth and not likenot lost, like it feels positive
yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly.
And then if it's the era ofTaren, then that's you becoming.
(13:59):
What is Taren becoming?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I don't know.
Let me ask.
I got a journal on thatquestion.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, you don't need to know the answer.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, no, and I don't think I do.
I think that's just what'sgoing to guide me through the
year, but like some big thingsthat I'm putting into place
right now to be able to thenmake sure 2024 is good and I'm
becoming is.
I have a financial coach that Ibrought on.
I also brought on an accountantto my team, so it's like the
finance things are just like allgetting crystal clear and I'm
(14:31):
being like thoughtful with mymoney and I want to start
shifting next year, of like,with the thought of building
wealth.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Nice.
Are you using the one more guy?
I can't remember his name?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
No, no, okay, no, it's a woman.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Why would I think otherwise with you actually,
honestly?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever hired a man.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No, you, you like you .
I don't know if it's a womanenergy that you exude, that
extracts that, but it might be.
But you, you're my like when Ithink about your, your team.
This is not actually what youall do, but I can see you all
frolking in the woods Like youdid when you went, went and did
your nymph stuff, like it's verylike feminine energy.
(15:13):
That's a couple of it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, yeah, I think I've lived a lot in the
masculine energy, so that'sinteresting.
You say that, and maybe that iswhy I then attract other, like
right, end up going towardsother women cause I didn't know
what that energy was, and sothen I tend to work, but I only
work with females, I know, andmy mission is to really impact
(15:36):
women.
And how can I impact women on abig scale is by working with
powerful women like Roxanne, andyou know other women who then
have so many women in theircommunity.
So yeah, don't forget the great.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Megan Sunroll, we can name her first.
Yes, yes, so ooh, I like this.
So it's the era of Terran colonbecoming.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The era of becoming Taren oh the becoming Taren era.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Unapologetically Taren, oh yes, but I think
that's an important word becauseI think that we are so good at
checking ourselves and makingsure that what we are, what we
do, what we say is okay foreverybody else that we don't
fully become ourselves becausewe're worried about how it's
(16:29):
going to impact other people.
I'm not saying being asshole weall have nothing that but I
mean like no, no, but I mean.
But you know what, if you areone, maybe you should be one,
because that'd beunapologetically you.
So I like that.
There's like a shedding and agrowth that is very cool that I
think is needed and I'm excitedabout that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I feel like we're both having like big, like
blossoming years Totally, andI'm seeing that with a lot of my
friends.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Like a friend of mine asked me just the other day.
She was like okay, I feel thischange.
Do you?
Are you worried that you don'tsee the nuts and bolts?
Or are you worried that you'regonna be focused on, like, the
way that I'm gonna get to XYZwhich, by the way, my big plan
is?
Like y'all, I have been for 20years.
(17:21):
No, it's not been 20 years,let's see 16, 17, 18 years.
I've said that I want my owntalk show.
I've said that for 17, 18 years.
And it bubbles up and it goesdown, and it bubbles up and goes
down.
And I know that the reason thatit hasn't happened is because
I'm so fixated on the how and Icannot see the how, so it has
(17:45):
not happened.
Where, like, my actual innerbeing knows, like, if you look
at, like my design as a human,the how is not important.
No, it isn't important.
But I've been so hung up on thehow that I either don't see the
how or I'm like, okay, thismust be the way to do it, that I
get so sidetracked and likefixated on this niche or
(18:07):
whatever it is, or I just don'tbelieve that I can do it and I'm
tired of that bullshit, I'mover it, I'm over it.
You know, scott always says wemoved to California because I
knew it'd be great if you'd getan agent, you'd get your show.
And I'm like, well, first ofall, we moved to Orange County.
Like, when you say we moved it,like they're all up there, we
(18:29):
didn't go to LA, it's not thesame, it's not the same.
But secondly, it's like I don'tknow how to break in and I
think, at every moment goes by,I feel like that's a harder and
harder thing.
So it's interesting that we'releaving and within us leaving
and going to Arizona, I feellike the opportunity to do the
(18:50):
thing is actually I have abetter opportunity, which is
interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I think, as it's shifting the energy you're
getting out of the energy of, itwasn't happening in California
for whatever reason.
Whereas now it's like a newchapter and it's like wait a
second.
Can I bring this goal with me?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I wanna bring it with yeah, and there's something
about moving to that house,which is basically gonna be a
shell.
We're basically getting rid ofeverything.
We're going to work room byroom and do one room, do it, and
we're starting with the bedroom, and I feel like the house is a
shell and we can craft it to bewhatever we want it to be, and
(19:32):
so I'm excited about that.
That blank canvas makes mesuper excited about that.
What comes from that?
So we're still-.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh my God, it's so fun.
I can only speak.
We didn't do a fully redesigned, but moving to Nashville,
that's.
We got rid of so much stuff andit feels like so many people
kept being like are you sureyou're getting rid of that?
Oh my God, I can't believeyou're doing that and it's like
no, with this it's actually likeI felt like I was shedding
myself.
Yeah, I feel that and likeuntying yourself from like
(20:01):
things and old things.
That maybe defined you and it'slike I'm not bringing it with
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And then, okay, I have a canvas of blank, Okay,
now we're going to build thisout, and it just feels very
apropos, Like I just feel reallygood about it.
So that's why I'm like this islike get ready, cause here we
come, it's happening.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, oh, my gosh, you guys, this will be fun for
you guys to follow along throughthe year and see what happens.
But I'm curious to like whateveryone else is.
If this is kind of like acollective, does a lot of people
feel this like big change or-.
Good question, maybe your wordis something you know, not so
huge, and that's okay too.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Like I've had years where it's like, yeah, I'm just
gonna keep on keeping on, yeahmaybe it's like status quo,
maybe it's your status quo era,or maybe you're loving your era
right now so much like I wannastay where I am.
This is awesome, let's stickhere.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Part two world tour.
Now, that's right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Now I got my movie.
We're gonna stay in that era.
It all works.
There's no right or wrong, butI would love to know what that
era is and you might, hopefullythis conversation has helped you
like think about it If youhaven't thought about it already
.
You know what's funny.
I don't remember my word fromthis year at all.
(21:20):
Don't know what it is.
You gotta go back and listen tothe podcast.
I'm annoyed.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So we had Epic for 2022, right?
Or was that 2020?
I don't know, no clue.
Epic was 2022.
We did some epic things andthen yeah, what was?
Yeah, you'll have to listen tothat no clue.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It didn't carry through.
It didn't, or maybe it did.
It was a sudden hum and Ididn't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, oh, mine totally pulled me through the
whole year.
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I need to look back.
I have no recollection.
Yeah, I didn't.
I do know I love doing Word ofthe Year.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And another thing, and I will contribute this to
Megan Summerall.
She does every year in her planof Palooza like you get a
workbook and it's actuallysitting right up here if you're
watching the video, but in oneof the sections she has you
write a letter to you whereyou're kind of writing it from
the sense of like the end of theyear, next year.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Love that.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And that's what you're accomplishing and it's
pretty powerful.
So now that I'm Leaning intothis era, I'm excited to write
my letter because I haven't doneit yet.

You know there's some people inthe Rock's Talks community that
say that I can't sing, and Iknow that that was not a very
good rendition, but I have anexcuse, because in a celebration
the excuse is I'm sick, which,if you know me, I don't get sick
.
That is not a Roxanne thing.
I have been sick for two and ahalf weeks, but like laid out
(01:37):
for a week, like it was coming.
It was coming, and for a weekI've been laid out and I can.
oh sorry frog in the throat canfinally say for the last two
days I have been able to likespend a full day not laying down
.
Wow, I need water.
That was a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So Scott has had a week of you not singing.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I didn't say that.
Well, you know it's funnybecause he's always acts like he
doesn't like when I sing, butthen he puts on songs I like and
then he's they'll go.
I thought you like this song.
Like darling, I'm sick, I'mcoughing, I cannot see it, but I
do enjoy it.
So he does actually like mesinging.
You see how that works, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
They hate on you for it, but then they're like wait,
wait, I actually like you.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's what he said.
Yeah, yeah so, but you knowit's interesting.
It's not interesting to anyonewho is a woman, but if you're
not a woman, you listen to this.
It's interesting is, whenyou're a woman and you're sick,
nobody cares.
I mean, they care, but theystill want all the things you
always get them.
My dog doesn't give two rips ifI'm sick.
(02:44):
She wants her food, she wantsher comfort and, honestly, my
husband, while he cares and he'sbeen so sweet, he still wants
his food.
What the heck Crown ass manAmazing.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, and it doesn't get better.
I'm here to tell you.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Can't imagine with your two kiddies when you're
sick.
They don't.
They like we want you feelbetter, but they don't care.
I said to him.
I said do you realize, when I'msick because there are, there
are days I'll admit that Ididn't shower, like I didn't
have the strength, and he waslike you haven't showered for
like two days.
And I said you know why?
Because the little energy I didhave, I took and made your food
(03:22):
, cause you're weird, you want asick person to make your food.
That's weird.
I go when you're sick causehe's the mat major cleaner of
the place.
I said you don't clean and you,when you're sick, you lay in
bed and you just like, oh, I'msick, and there's no cleaning
that is done when I'm sick.
(03:43):
Heaven forbid, anyone has toeat.
They still have to eat.
What the heck?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, don't even get me going, cause I got a good
story from this summer and I'mjust going to let it pass.
I'm going to let it pass.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I feel like you're letting it pass, cause the
emotions from it aren't fullygone.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Oh yeah, it's a very salty wound.
What is that about?
I know what we.
There was a lot of delivery.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'll tell you that grocery delivery, food delivery,
because but I did some cookingand like what the heck Anyway.
So this is me better ish.
I feel like I do like a hey Cando the deep sultry voice, yeah,
I do some 900 number, I don'teven know I.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know I don't call them, so I'm not the person to
ask.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't.
I don't call them either, Ijust know that they're a thing.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I'm sure they're still a thing.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, probably, or there's some iteration of it now
, right, yes, yes.
Do you know that that magazinePlayboy doesn't exist anymore?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they stopped it when you died
right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, maybe perhaps that's amazing, like that tells
you the iteration and the, thetransformation of like magazines
, the fact that magazines havejust like a lot of.
I used to love readingmagazines, not playboy, but
other magazines like 17 and Imean and mademoiselle, yeah, and
what was that?
Was it in style, the one thatwas kind of like the?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
one that was like oh yeah, there was one in style
yeah well, and I self magazine.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
There's a meeting called or there's magazine
called lucky, all about shopping.
But it's so interesting to methat magazines are kind of
they've kind of died.
A lot of them no longer print.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
They don't.
But ironically I just bought mykids a magazine subscription
for Something so they can getlike something in the mail and
it's like about animals, youknow.
Highlights magazine.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I was just a highlight.
That was my first magazine.
I loved it.
In the back we had like what'sdifferent and he had a circle of
things.
Yeah, I loved highlights.
Oh, that was the best, sothat's still going.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
so I got it at and I was like, oh my god, yes, I want
something that's more likehands-on, because we home school
and everything is digital, likeconstantly.
And I'm like, no, I want, like,I don't want to go print it out
myself, I want something tocome to me you know you should
talk to Grace.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
She's with paper pie and Her favorite thing of paper
by used to be a sport books.
For those of you like what theheck is paper by our activity
books and so they have likethese books, like never get
bored books and things that just, and also like the wife books
and whatnot.
And you know you should not her.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, I mean, I have ordered from her.
I have books.
Oh, yeah, yeah, please don'tspam me anyone, I didn't say you
should talk to everyone frompaper, by grace.
Oh my gosh.
And then I got to.
I'm like Roxanne, you'resetting me up.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
So any hill as we talk about this.
So this time of year we usuallytalk about like our Word of the
year and we've delayed a littlebecause my brain has been so
foggy I'm like I can't eventhink about tomorrow.
I just try to figure out if I'mgonna cough all night long.
But Today this morning I waslaying in bed I'm like and I
(07:04):
said you know what, roxanne,we're not gonna talk about the
word of the year.
Oh Okay, y'all need to know.
Sidebar, my sweet, lovely,lovely co-host, taryn, likes to
know what's happening before weget on air.
I Do, and then there's dayswhere I'm like I know she wants
to know, but I want her raw like.
(07:26):
So this is what I was thinkingin the the Trend, and we're in
the Taylor Swift Age.
So why are we doing words?
We should do eras.
What is your era?
So 2024 is your era of now.
Y'all listen, it's, it's a,it's a word play.
You could still, it could stillcould be your word.
(07:47):
But I loved these days sayinglike rather than saying I'm in
the, thus the, whatever phase.
I'm like, I'm in the somethingera.
You know, I just think that's acool way to say it.
Yeah, what if we say what isour era?
2024 is the blah, blah, blahera of you.
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
See, I like to put thought into this.
So like for me to stir rift onone, but it can still be your
word, yeah you know what I'msaying.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah okay, you go first then.
So I was thinking about this.
I'm like okay, because Honestly, I think something's happening.
Because I'm like a word justdoesn't cover what's happening
to me right now, because I'mright in.
I would say what era am I inright now, at the end of 2023?
I'm in my cocoon era and so Ithink that my era for 2024 is
(08:39):
going to be and I was going backand forth, but I think it's my
blossom era I was gonna saybutterfly, but it's kind of the
same, so I might use thoseinterchangeably.
But it's like I've beencocooning, you know, and you get
the caterpillar and thecaterpillars they're cocooning
and all these things arehappening.
And I'm about to like ba-la andjust like a peony on, like
(09:01):
opens because you know I lovepeonies Like I'm in my peony era
.
That's my era, my peony era.
Or it's like pfft, not the bubbut the peony, like ba-ta,
that's my era.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So what does that entail in 2024?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
What does that mean?
Well, here's the deal.
I think we told you a few weeksago that I'm moving.
The move has gotten moved up,so I'm moving the end of 2023.
So literally we will be.
And because we're not going tothe Rose Bowl for the first time
in like I don't know, ncaa hasjust ruined my traditions, but
(09:35):
we'll get like NCAA has ruinedall the traditions and all that
and the pack it's not a pack 12year and now, with all the
different transitions, the lastyear I'll have gone to the Rose
Bowl in the iteration and thebeautifulness that the Rose Bowl
has been was last year.
It's like an air that air isover.
No, we know, we know, oh, youdid okay.
(09:56):
Because every few years it's achampionship game, like a
playoff game, and those years wedon't get to go because it's
not a pack 12 game.
But now that the pack 12 islike defunct, there won't be
that tradition anymore.
It's just so sad.
And now ASU is going to the big12.
So I'm hoping the big 12, I'mhoping we get to go to the
Orange Bowl I'm not OrangeCotton Bowl, but we'll see.
(10:17):
Anyhow, all that to say thatRose Bowl era has gone away,
it's ended, which is so sad.
But the cool thing is we willbe.
We will be turning the page ofthe year, like literally, I
think we should go to our newhouse and like do it there,
although we won't haveeverything in it and stuff, but
(10:39):
that will be turning and we'llbe there.
So that's kind of a cool likeokay, we got married this year
doing all these things.
So that's number one.
I'm gonna definitely.
I know part of my peony era isjust like sharing more about my
life.
It's like I have done less ofthat over the last few years and
you're gonna see more of thaton social.
(11:00):
I don't know if that means I'mgoing to do two Instagram
accounts.
You know y'all that drives meinsane, but I might.
I might do two.
I might kind of just doublepost and see what happens and
then kind of play around with it, which is so.
You're gonna see a lot of likethe growth and transition,
because, you know, some peoplemight not wanna hear what's
going on in my life and Iunderstand that, but yeah, you
can scroll past those.
(11:20):
So you're gonna see a lot ofthat.
You may see an additionalpodcast come out of me next year
.
I'm just you asked, I'm justputting it out there.
You're gonna see a lot of, yeah, if you ever wanted to know,
like unpeel, the onion of rocks,and you're gonna see it next
(11:42):
year because it's my peonyseason.
Era excuse, my peony era so.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Era, era.
I like that, okay.
Okay, I've thought through minea little bit and we can kind of
develop it here live Like Ijust did yes, yes.
So my I was stuck between twowords Tell us, and they go
together.
So one word was gonna bebecoming, because this past year
(12:08):
2023 in reflection has been alot of change, right?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Like we.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I officially launched my podcast business side of
things like in the end of 2022,but it's like grown through 2023
.
I now consider myself like abusiness, whereas people I used
to call it like my job, you know, and now I'm like no, like this
is my business.
So that's evolved.
We started homeschooling, wemoved, we now live in Tennessee,
(12:41):
like we travel more, Likethere's just been a lot of
changes and things that I waskind of cutting ties and I'm
like becoming more Taren andwhat that means and not what
other people think Taren means.
Right, but then the other wordI was going with was maybe even
release and having it be more oflike a surrender, because
(13:05):
there's other things like Iwanna release through the next
year.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I'm sorry go back, because you said last year, this
year was changed, but what wasthe first word?
Becoming, Becoming, that'sright, becoming Okay.
And then the other one isletting go.
Okay, carry on.
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yes, so last year my word was mindful.
That's how I got through,that's how I made a lot of
decisions.
I sat down and I thoughtthrough them and like was very
mindful about them.
And so the next year I'mthinking it's like either
becoming or releasing.
And what would that era be?
The era of Taren?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I like.
Well, I mean, it's your choice.
I like becoming, because Ithink becoming incorporates
encapsulates, letting somethings go, but it also talks
about your growth and not likenot lost, like it feels positive
yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly.
And then if it's the era ofTaren, then that's you becoming.
(13:59):
What is Taren becoming?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I don't know.
Let me ask.
I got a journal on thatquestion.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, you don't need to know the answer.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, no, and I don't think I do.
I think that's just what'sgoing to guide me through the
year, but like some big thingsthat I'm putting into place
right now to be able to thenmake sure 2024 is good and I'm
becoming is.
I have a financial coach that Ibrought on.
I also brought on an accountantto my team, so it's like the
finance things are just like allgetting crystal clear and I'm
(14:31):
being like thoughtful with mymoney and I want to start
shifting next year, of like,with the thought of building
wealth.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Nice.
Are you using the one more guy?
I can't remember his name?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
No, no, okay, no, it's a woman.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Why would I think otherwise with you actually,
honestly?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever hired a man.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
No, you, you like you .
I don't know if it's a womanenergy that you exude, that
extracts that, but it might be.
But you, you're my like when Ithink about your, your team.
This is not actually what youall do, but I can see you all
frolking in the woods Like youdid when you went, went and did
your nymph stuff, like it's verylike feminine energy.
(15:13):
That's a couple of it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, yeah, I think I've lived a lot in the
masculine energy, so that'sinteresting.
You say that, and maybe that iswhy I then attract other, like
right, end up going towardsother women cause I didn't know
what that energy was, and sothen I tend to work, but I only
work with females, I know, andmy mission is to really impact
(15:36):
women.
And how can I impact women on abig scale is by working with
powerful women like Roxanne, andyou know other women who then
have so many women in theircommunity.
So yeah, don't forget the great.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Megan Sunroll, we can name her first.
Yes, yes, so ooh, I like this.
So it's the era of Terran colonbecoming.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The era of becoming Taren oh the becoming Taren era.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Unapologetically Taren, oh yes, but I think
that's an important word becauseI think that we are so good at
checking ourselves and makingsure that what we are, what we
do, what we say is okay foreverybody else that we don't
fully become ourselves becausewe're worried about how it's
(16:29):
going to impact other people.
I'm not saying being asshole weall have nothing that but I
mean like no, no, but I mean.
But you know what, if you areone, maybe you should be one,
because that'd beunapologetically you.
So I like that.
There's like a shedding and agrowth that is very cool that I
think is needed and I'm excitedabout that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I feel like we're both having like big, like
blossoming years Totally, andI'm seeing that with a lot of my
friends.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Like a friend of mine asked me just the other day.
She was like okay, I feel thischange.
Do you?
Are you worried that you don'tsee the nuts and bolts?
Or are you worried that you'regonna be focused on, like, the
way that I'm gonna get to XYZwhich, by the way, my big plan
is?
Like y'all, I have been for 20years.
(17:21):
No, it's not been 20 years,let's see 16, 17, 18 years.
I've said that I want my owntalk show.
I've said that for 17, 18 years.
And it bubbles up and it goesdown, and it bubbles up and goes
down.
And I know that the reason thatit hasn't happened is because
I'm so fixated on the how and Icannot see the how, so it has
(17:45):
not happened.
Where, like, my actual innerbeing knows, like, if you look
at, like my design as a human,the how is not important.
No, it isn't important.
But I've been so hung up on thehow that I either don't see the
how or I'm like, okay, thismust be the way to do it, that I
get so sidetracked and likefixated on this niche or
(18:07):
whatever it is, or I just don'tbelieve that I can do it and I'm
tired of that bullshit, I'mover it, I'm over it.
You know, scott always says wemoved to California because I
knew it'd be great if you'd getan agent, you'd get your show.
And I'm like, well, first ofall, we moved to Orange County.
Like, when you say we moved it,like they're all up there, we
(18:29):
didn't go to LA, it's not thesame, it's not the same.
But secondly, it's like I don'tknow how to break in and I
think, at every moment goes by,I feel like that's a harder and
harder thing.
So it's interesting that we'releaving and within us leaving
and going to Arizona, I feellike the opportunity to do the
(18:50):
thing is actually I have abetter opportunity, which is
interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I think, as it's shifting the energy you're
getting out of the energy of, itwasn't happening in California
for whatever reason.
Whereas now it's like a newchapter and it's like wait a
second.
Can I bring this goal with me?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I wanna bring it with yeah, and there's something
about moving to that house,which is basically gonna be a
shell.
We're basically getting rid ofeverything.
We're going to work room byroom and do one room, do it, and
we're starting with the bedroom, and I feel like the house is a
shell and we can craft it to bewhatever we want it to be, and
(19:32):
so I'm excited about that.
That blank canvas makes mesuper excited about that.
What comes from that?
So we're still-.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Oh my God, it's so fun.
I can only speak.
We didn't do a fully redesigned, but moving to Nashville,
that's.
We got rid of so much stuff andit feels like so many people
kept being like are you sureyou're getting rid of that?
Oh my God, I can't believeyou're doing that and it's like
no, with this it's actually likeI felt like I was shedding
myself.
Yeah, I feel that and likeuntying yourself from like
(20:01):
things and old things.
That maybe defined you and it'slike I'm not bringing it with
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And then, okay, I have a canvas of blank, Okay,
now we're going to build thisout, and it just feels very
apropos, Like I just feel reallygood about it.
So that's why I'm like this islike get ready, cause here we
come, it's happening.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yeah, oh, my gosh, you guys, this will be fun for
you guys to follow along throughthe year and see what happens.
But I'm curious to like whateveryone else is.
If this is kind of like acollective, does a lot of people
feel this like big change or-.
Good question, maybe your wordis something you know, not so
huge, and that's okay too.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Like I've had years where it's like, yeah, I'm just
gonna keep on keeping on, yeahmaybe it's like status quo,
maybe it's your status quo era,or maybe you're loving your era
right now so much like I wannastay where I am.
This is awesome, let's stickhere.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Part two world tour.
Now, that's right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Now I got my movie.
We're gonna stay in that era.
It all works.
There's no right or wrong, butI would love to know what that
era is and you might, hopefullythis conversation has helped you
like think about it If youhaven't thought about it already
.
You know what's funny.
I don't remember my word fromthis year at all.
(21:20):
Don't know what it is.
You gotta go back and listen tothe podcast.
I'm annoyed.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So we had Epic for 2022, right?
Or was that 2020?
I don't know, no clue.
Epic was 2022.
We did some epic things andthen yeah, what was?
Yeah, you'll have to listen tothat no clue.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It didn't carry through.
It didn't, or maybe it did.
It was a sudden hum and Ididn't even realize it.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, oh, mine totally pulled me through the
whole year.
It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I need to look back.
I have no recollection.
Yeah, I didn't.
I do know I love doing Word ofthe Year.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And another thing, and I will contribute this to
Megan Summerall.
She does every year in her planof Palooza like you get a
workbook and it's actuallysitting right up here if you're
watching the video, but in oneof the sections she has you
write a letter to you whereyou're kind of writing it from
the sense of like the end of theyear, next year.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Love that.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
And that's what you're accomplishing and it's
pretty powerful.
So now that I'm Leaning intothis era, I'm excited to write
my letter because I haven't doneit yet.
