like the rows of tulips like youwould expect there's like five
million tulips Which is insane.
It's insane.
There's so many tulips.
And it was like, what, fiveacres or something?
Oh, I didn't see how many acres.
I got stuck on the five milliontulips.
I was like, what?
(02:12):
I can't even comprehend this.
But yeah, it's like the photoreference dream.
Yeah, totally.
If you like tulips.
SPEAKER_00 (02:22):
painting
SPEAKER_01 (02:23):
flowers like some of us tulips do that's the place
you know it's the place to go umyeah so it has it has the tulip
festival and then it alsothere's a dutch village which is
really fun and a bit more kidfriends yeah for sure um yeah so
we got all packed up and we wemade it there and the kids did
(02:44):
great in the car and then wewent and saw tulips and that was
less fun for the children likecan we go yet can we go yet and
And, you know, we had plans tostop and eat lunch at a
restaurant for, you know, beforegoing to the Dutch village.
And the problem is I have abunch of food allergies and I
(03:05):
can't eat at very manyrestaurants.
So the one place, Chick-fil-A,that we could go, it was closed
because it was a Sunday.
We forgot that it's closed onSundays.
Darn it.
We don't normally do things onSundays.
Yeah.
go to restaurants and things.
So we, we totally forgot.
And we like, Brianna pulls upthe directions to Chick-fil-A
(03:29):
and it's like, it says closed.
It's like, oh yeah.
Oh no.
Oh no.
What do we do?
What do we do?
And so we had this moment of,okay, we got to get creative.
And we got to figure this outbecause we've got two cranky
kids.
Yeah.
They are ready for food.
They need to eat.
We've got to figure stuff out.
(03:49):
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we end up– there was a– wewere going to– partly why we
were going to go Chick-fil-A isA, because I could eat there.
I mean, I can eat a few thingsoff the menu there.
Yeah.
And B, it was like right next tothe village.
Yeah.
And so– We'd look at the map,and Walmart was right there.
Right next to it.
(04:10):
Yeah, right next to it.
We decided, okay, we'll go toWalmart, and we'll just do what
we can to make a picnic lunchthat my daughter and I could
actually eat, and we could alleat together.
It was safe.
We'd go in, and we'd goshopping.
The kids are cranky, but we'repowering through.
(04:31):
We ended up having a very lovelylunch.
picnic in the back of the caryes it was it was so fun we we
all piled back and we had theseats back you know in the back
they were folded down and sothere was just room enough for
the four of us and Our plates offood.
(04:53):
The kids were quite cozy.
My legs are a little too long.
Yeah.
We had to finagle around alittle bit.
But we closed the back and wewere all just like cozied in
there together.
They both were so delighted.
They thought it was so fun.
SPEAKER_00 (05:09):
This is so fun.
I think maybe this is myfavorite part.
SPEAKER_01 (05:15):
Yeah.
So this morning, Ems comes to meand is like, Mom, I'm sorry to
tell you this, but my favoritepart of yesterday was the
picnic.
Oh my gosh.
Of all the planning, of all thethings that we had been so
excited about and lookingforward to, the best moment was
(05:37):
that moment of chaoticcreativity, coming together to
save the day and make it work.
But then it provided the most wehad the most connection.
Yeah.
All four of us together.
We had great conversation andwould you rather?
Yeah.
Good games.
Good games.
And, and, uh, Yeah, it was just–We laughed together.
(06:02):
Yeah.
It was beautiful.
We ate good food.
It ended up being quite tasty.
Yes.
My son said it was the bestlunch he'd ever had, so we win.
We win.
They said even better thanChick-fil-A.
Yeah.
And we had tofu, so all you tofudoubters out there.
(06:22):
Right.
UNKNOWN (06:24):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (06:24):
can be quite delicious yeah anyways it just
it was a good reminder to us wegot together this morning and I
told Brianna about whatever hesaid about like that was I'm
sorry mom I know you werelooking forward to all of
yesterday and all the big plansall the big plans that was my
(06:46):
favorite part like that was justthat was just wonderful and so
fun and yeah it was a goodreminder that you know, we can,
we can figure out when we're intough spots and also leave room
for the unexpected.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was like, you know, Ithink that's kind of part of the
(07:08):
reason that road trips do bringso many good memories are
because of those little pockets,not necessarily like the big
main event, but some of the bestmemories and the funnest times
are in those little momentsright yeah spontaneous thank you
(07:29):
spontaneous moments where youjust you really connect and it's
kind of unexpected and unplannedand there's no expectation
around it yeah I think a lot oftimes we um when we make plans
or have an idea in our head wehold so tightly onto the end
result the expectation of whatwe want it to be and what we
(07:53):
want it to feel like.
And we're going to have thisgreat time and everything's
going to be amazing.
And, you know, and life doesn'twork like that.
No.
Like ever.
Nope.
And, and so, yeah, yesterday wasjust a really, it was, was a
really good reminder that whenwe let go of Yeah.
(08:29):
come into it with that attitudeof, well, we're going to make
this fun.
We're going to have fun anyways.
We're going to, you know, it'skind of an adventure and it's
experiment and we're going tofigure it out together and, and
we're going to just make thebest of it.
SPEAKER_02 (08:43):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (08:44):
Despite whatever is going on around us.
Right.
Then that's when it becomes thebest time, you know, that's when
it becomes the most joyful and,and free.
Yeah.
Right.
Your creativity is yoursuperpower.
That's right.
And I think so often when wehave something that we want to
(09:10):
create, well, I feel like thisisn't, you know, this goes
across any platform.
thing in life you know any kindof situation and anything we're
coming coming to but umespecially you know bringing
back around to creativity umwhen there's something that we
want to create if there's apainting that we want to do or
you know something we want tomake or or do um I think so
(09:34):
often we hold ourselves backfrom doing it because we hold so
tightly onto the end result thatwe want.
See, I am struggling with thisright now.
Me too.
Well, I'm working on thiscollection of four paintings.
Yeah.
And the first three, I had ablast because it was all–
(09:55):
exploring and just play and likefiguring out how to do the next
thing.
And I had a lot of fun with it.
And now, you know, I got to thefourth one, the final one, and
it's been taped down to mypainting table for a lot longer
than it probably should becauseI got partway through it.
(10:16):
And then I just got stuck andlike, okay, I don't know how to
finish it.
And like, I have the other threedone and I want to finish the
fourth one, but I like, is itgood enough?
I don't know.
You know, it's like all thedoubts.
Yeah.
That's where it came up.
I mean, I'm glad that thathappened on the fourth one
instead of like
SPEAKER_00 (10:32):
the first one,
SPEAKER_01 (10:33):
but you know, it's like any stage of the process
is, This can happen.
Yeah, that's so true.
I like that you bring that upbecause it's not even, it's not
even just at the beginning, butit can be throughout the whole,
the whole thing.
And so it's kind of a constantreminder that we, we have to
tell ourselves, we have toremind ourselves it's okay.
It's okay.
Like the whole, the wholeprocess can be a playful thing
(10:58):
and an experiment.
And, and it doesn't have to,yeah, I don't know.
I think it's, For me, I thinkoften that is at the beginning
and then I don't even do it.
Right.
I've had those moments too.
(11:19):
Yeah.
And that's where I think of thatproblem existing is like at the
beginning of the experiment orexperience, I meant to say.
But it is.
It can be through the middle.
It can be at the end.
It can be through the wholething.
Self-doubt likes to creep up atall times.
At all times.
(11:41):
Yeah, it's there.
But we have to figure out how towork through it and work with
it.
Right.
I mean, I have a painting aswell that I'm like...
part, most of the way through,but I have to figure out the
foreground of it.
And it's been, I mean, it's beensitting in my office taped on
the board for, for weeks now.
(12:02):
Like I just haven't come back toit.
Cause I'm like, I have thisspecific idea and I'm not really
sure how to execute it.
And I want it to turn out reallywell and I don't want to ruin
it, you know?
And so I have like all of thesethings in my head that are,
they're blocking me that arekeeping me from continuing and
from finishing it.
And, um, I think just letting goof the outcome is really the
(12:25):
answer to all those, all thosefears in those blocks.
Yeah.
And let yourself just play, let,let yourself just play, like
know that it's, it's okay.
Even if it does ruin it becausewhat, what's the worst that can
happen?
Right.
Not much.
Right.
Right.
I have the sketch.
I could start over.
(12:45):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I wouldn't be able toreally, um, save it you know
necessarily if I really well Idon't know I like I still could
I could go over it and it wouldbe fine but even then I feel
like no matter how it turns outyou're gonna learn yes you know
and that could be more valuablethan like a perfect and 100%
(13:10):
yeah yeah it's all in theprocess it's all in the learning
and just the fact of Letting go,practicing that is learning,
right?
And even just having fun is aworthy experience.
value to get out of it.
It doesn't have to have this endresult of what we deem
(13:35):
productive.
Good enough to sell or goodenough to show people.
Or even that I learned somethingfrom it is still this productive
type outcome that we put so muchpressure on needing to have
happen.
And really just the joy of itcan be all it's meant to be.
(13:56):
And that's Okay.
I love that.
Yeah.
I love that.
I think that's really...
hard to fully believe yes I meanI struggle with that too because
I'm thinking about it like I'msaying this and I'm thinking
about that painting I'm likeyeah but I also just want it to
turn out good I don't want tostart over yeah right I mean I
(14:16):
think everything that we saywe're saying to ourselves
because these are things that wejust struggle hard with you know
and are trying to figure outthat's the whole the whole
purpose of this podcast is totalk about and figure out and
you know like really face thesethese issues and these blocks
and be real about it right wellI love in our friendship like
(14:40):
having these conversationsbecause a lot of the time we'll
bring up things that we're bothstruggling with like I'll bring
up something that we're bothstruggling with or you'll bring
up something that we're bothstruggling with and when you
bring it up I can like come upwith some kind of answer or
solution or the thing thatreally I need to hear and I can
(15:00):
say it to you yeah even though Ihaven't been able to say it to
myself.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah.
I think that's so funny becauseI think of that with other
things in life too.
Like what would you say to afriend right now?
When I'm struggling or having ahard time, that's a big thing
(15:24):
that I've been trying toimplement in my life.
way of thinking, I guess, iswhat, you know, what would I say
to a friend right now?
How would I talk to a friend?
You know, I wouldn't beat themup.
Right.
I don't know.
So often we beat ourselves up orwe stop ourselves or we, you
know, we just kind of containour, ourselves and we, we, I
(15:45):
think our anxiety gets in theway of, of our creative
solutions and our, you know, ourkindness and our empathy for
ourselves.
SPEAKER_02 (15:55):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (15:56):
And so it's easier in a lot of ways to do that for,
for another person, which Ithink is so, why it's so
impactful to have a community oflike-minded people that can be
that person for you and that youcan be that person for them as
well.
Yeah.
Cause it's, I mean, it's amazinghow much helping another person
(16:18):
can help you and extending thatlove and that compassion.
It can be so healing and so goodfor the soul and just like we're
getting cheesy here and just,you know, like it's, it's, It's
amazing how much it can impactyour life.
And then, you know, having thatextended back to you.
(16:39):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (16:41):
There's nothing like it.
UNKNOWN (16:42):
No.
Yeah.
There's no replacement for that.
And, and it's, and it's soimportant.
SPEAKER_01 (16:48):
So, um, yeah, that's why, that's why we're here.
That's why we're doing thepodcast and why we want to, you
know, spread the love and spreadthe community is because it is,
it's so important and soimpactful.
SPEAKER_02 (17:01):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (17:01):
Find yourself a picnic, buddy.
Back of the car.
Okay.
Ah, yeah.
So we wanted to share that withyou today and we hope that it
will help you to remember inthose moments to be kind to
yourself and to find the joy inthe little moments.
(17:24):
Be spontaneous.
Let it happen.
Yes, exactly.
Let go.
Your creativity is yoursuperpower.
We'll see you next week.
That's it for today, friend.
Thanks for spending this timewith us.
We hope you're leaving with alittle more light, a little more
peace, and maybe even a nudge togo be creative just because it
(17:46):
brings a little more joy to yourlife.
If anything in this episodespoke to your heart, sparked a
thought, or made you smile, we'dlove it if you'd follow the

You know, it's like all thedoubts.
Yeah.
That's where it came up.
I mean, I'm glad that thathappened on the fourth one
instead of like
SPEAKER_00 (10:32):
the first one,
SPEAKER_01 (10:33):
but you know, it's like any stage of the process
is, This can happen.
Yeah, that's so true.
I like that you bring that upbecause it's not even, it's not
even just at the beginning, butit can be throughout the whole,
the whole thing.
And so it's kind of a constantreminder that we, we have to
tell ourselves, we have toremind ourselves it's okay.
It's okay.
Like the whole, the wholeprocess can be a playful thing
(10:58):
and an experiment.
And, and it doesn't have to,yeah, I don't know.
I think it's, For me, I thinkoften that is at the beginning
and then I don't even do it.
Right.
I've had those moments too.
(11:19):
Yeah.
And that's where I think of thatproblem existing is like at the
beginning of the experiment orexperience, I meant to say.
But it is.
It can be through the middle.
It can be at the end.
It can be through the wholething.
Self-doubt likes to creep up atall times.
At all times.
(11:41):
Yeah, it's there.
But we have to figure out how towork through it and work with
it.
Right.
I mean, I have a painting aswell that I'm like...
part, most of the way through,but I have to figure out the
foreground of it.
And it's been, I mean, it's beensitting in my office taped on
the board for, for weeks now.
(12:02):
Like I just haven't come back toit.
Cause I'm like, I have thisspecific idea and I'm not really
sure how to execute it.
And I want it to turn out reallywell and I don't want to ruin
it, you know?
And so I have like all of thesethings in my head that are,
they're blocking me that arekeeping me from continuing and
from finishing it.
And, um, I think just letting goof the outcome is really the
(12:25):
answer to all those, all thosefears in those blocks.
Yeah.
And let yourself just play, let,let yourself just play, like
know that it's, it's okay.
Even if it does ruin it becausewhat, what's the worst that can
happen?
Right.
Not much.
Right.
Right.
I have the sketch.
I could start over.
(12:45):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I wouldn't be able toreally, um, save it you know
necessarily if I really well Idon't know I like I still could
I could go over it and it wouldbe fine but even then I feel
like no matter how it turns outyou're gonna learn yes you know
and that could be more valuablethan like a perfect and 100%
(13:10):
yeah yeah it's all in theprocess it's all in the learning
and just the fact of Letting go,practicing that is learning,
right?
And even just having fun is aworthy experience.
value to get out of it.
It doesn't have to have this endresult of what we deem
(13:35):
productive.
Good enough to sell or goodenough to show people.
Or even that I learned somethingfrom it is still this productive
type outcome that we put so muchpressure on needing to have
happen.
And really just the joy of itcan be all it's meant to be.
(13:56):
And that's Okay.
I love that.
Yeah.
I love that.
I think that's really...
hard to fully believe yes I meanI struggle with that too because
I'm thinking about it like I'msaying this and I'm thinking
about that painting I'm likeyeah but I also just want it to
turn out good I don't want tostart over yeah right I mean I
(14:16):
think everything that we saywe're saying to ourselves
because these are things that wejust struggle hard with you know
and are trying to figure outthat's the whole the whole
purpose of this podcast is totalk about and figure out and
you know like really face thesethese issues and these blocks
and be real about it right wellI love in our friendship like
(14:40):
having these conversationsbecause a lot of the time we'll
bring up things that we're bothstruggling with like I'll bring
up something that we're bothstruggling with or you'll bring
up something that we're bothstruggling with and when you
bring it up I can like come upwith some kind of answer or
solution or the thing thatreally I need to hear and I can
(15:00):
say it to you yeah even though Ihaven't been able to say it to
myself.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah.
I think that's so funny becauseI think of that with other
things in life too.
Like what would you say to afriend right now?
When I'm struggling or having ahard time, that's a big thing
(15:24):
that I've been trying toimplement in my life.
way of thinking, I guess, iswhat, you know, what would I say
to a friend right now?
How would I talk to a friend?
You know, I wouldn't beat themup.
Right.
I don't know.
So often we beat ourselves up orwe stop ourselves or we, you
know, we just kind of containour, ourselves and we, we, I
(15:45):
think our anxiety gets in theway of, of our creative
solutions and our, you know, ourkindness and our empathy for
ourselves.
SPEAKER_02 (15:55):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (15:56):
And so it's easier in a lot of ways to do that for,
for another person, which Ithink is so, why it's so
impactful to have a community oflike-minded people that can be
that person for you and that youcan be that person for them as
well.
Yeah.
Cause it's, I mean, it's amazinghow much helping another person
(16:18):
can help you and extending thatlove and that compassion.
It can be so healing and so goodfor the soul and just like we're
getting cheesy here and just,you know, like it's, it's, It's
amazing how much it can impactyour life.
And then, you know, having thatextended back to you.
(16:39):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (16:41):
There's nothing like it.
UNKNOWN (16:42):
No.
Yeah.
There's no replacement for that.
And, and it's, and it's soimportant.
SPEAKER_01 (16:48):
So, um, yeah, that's why, that's why we're here.
That's why we're doing thepodcast and why we want to, you
know, spread the love and spreadthe community is because it is,
it's so important and soimpactful.
SPEAKER_02 (17:01):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (17:01):
Find yourself a picnic, buddy.
Back of the car.
Okay.
