Speaker 1 (00:04):
Happy Sunday, Welcome to listener, Q and A. I'm sitting
across from Emma Bailey on Zoom and I was just
having to apologize to Emma because I'm just very very
behind today and I'm scarfing down my Chipotle and I
have a therapy appointment coming up, so I'm like, we
gotta just stay on schedule because I will ramble. And
(00:24):
she was like, well, guess what I ramble to. She's like,
I'm having Chipotle for dinner and I also have therapy tonight.
We're basically the same person. We sure are. And so Emma,
tell us where you are coming to us from. I
can see that you're at work, so I don't know
what you can say what you can't say, but just
go ahead and share with us a little cliffs notes
version of Emma. Okay, I can do that. So I'm
(00:47):
coming from Akron, Ohio, which is kind of like a
suburb ish of Cleveland. So I'm about an hour south
of Cleveland, and I manage an internship program at a
Fortune five hundred company in the CpG industry. So you're
going to say who you work for or no, you
just had fortune which for But no, it's the JM.
(01:08):
Smucker Company. Like right now behind her, y'all can't see
this because this is podcast, but behind her is a
big jar of strawberry Smuckers jam and that that's my favorite. Like,
if I had to rank them, it would go strawberry, Well,
strawberry then great, and then maybe BlackBerry. There's some other
(01:29):
fun ones. But I stick to the staples too. Sometimes
I'll get a little exotic. But if you if I
really had to pick, I would stick with the staples.
But yeah, we have a ton of really fun products too.
So like my dog loves that we own milk phone
because he has a continuous supply of milks one at home,
which is definitely his favorite. Oh so yeah, I had
no idea. I mean, I'm looking at a lot of
the different products, like there's more than just jelly behind you.
(01:50):
But I didn't know that one big company owned all
those products. Like I just thought people in Ohio don't realize,
like we're here in Ohio. So it's fun to kind
of debunk those myths. It's my favorite thing to do. Awesome, Okay,
Well hit us with the questions, like this is I'm
passing the mike to you. This is your episode so
you can lead it. Well. I think the first thing
(02:10):
I really wanted to talk about. And one thing I
love about you is you're so age positive. And I
just turned thirty a couple of weeks ago, and I
am too, Like I was so excited to turn thirty.
I feel like this third decade is going to be
my best one. Yeah. I just feel like I know
who I am, I know what matters to me, I
have the right people in my life, and just like
have a ton of momentum going into this next decade.
(02:31):
And I was just gonna ask you, now that you're
past this decade, what were some things that you learned
through this decade that you carried into your next decade
or you know, as somebody going into their thirties that
you'd be like, hey, I learned this, so maybe you
don't have to go through that. I loved my early thirties,
but I think it was probably my early to mid
(02:52):
thirties that I are I started to experience some real
adults like adversity and stuff where I was just like
what in the world. And so the thirties stretched me
for sure, and what I learned for me personally, everybody's
journey is going to be different. But I learned how
to look inward. And I don't really know that I
(03:13):
had done that much work on myself until my mid
to late thirties and then now entering my forties and
forty one, and I'm all about work and like digging
into it, working introspectively, like working on myself. Probably a
little into right now because I think about I try
to tie everything into why I'm doing. What I'm doing
(03:35):
is probably because of X Y Z, and it's probably
just because I'm in the thick of trying to unpack
a lot of stuff and figure it out, you know
what I mean. So, but I would say the thirties
it laid the groundwork for what I was going to
need in my early forties, because forties where stuff really
hit the fan for me. But I don't think if
I had laid the groundwork in my thirties, then I
(03:56):
would have been I don't know, and then having like
core support and family and friends and connection connection with
something that I didn't I didn't realize. I wasn't very
good at I was just kind of like I connect,
you know, I don't know within friends and family would
express to me actually, I don't really feel like you
connect that well. And I was I am was am
(04:17):
and still thankful for their honesty. But you know, a
lot of that was unpacked in the later part of
that decade for me. So I left the thirties, especially
the beginning like that was thriving then, and then my
mom got cancer, and then later in my late thirties,
my dad got cancer, and then I was trying to adopt.
I couldn't get pregnant. I mean, there was all kinds
of things that I faced in that decade, but I
(04:40):
can now see what I went through and how it's
benefiting me now. And then the gifts that came from that,
like not getting to get pregnant led us to adoption,
and now I have two beautiful children from Haiti. And
you know that the groundwork but stable ground and all
of that happened in my thirties, and it took a
(05:02):
lot of prayer, a lot of unanswered prayers, a lot
of waiting, a lot of figuring it, figuring out things,
a lot of perseverance and hope, a lot of hope. Yeah,
like hindsight, like you look back and you it was
probably so hard at the time, but you look back
and like that all happened because now I'm better suited
to and handle things differently. But that I wouldn't say
that about my twenties, my decade of my twenties, or
(05:24):
the decade even before that. If I had to pick,
like do you want to go back and redo your
twenties or your thirties, I would still redo my thirties
because not redo it, like write the story differently. That's
the one I would want to relive. Although, yeah, college
was pretty fun, so I don't know. I've had times
recently where I realized like, oh my gosh, like I'm
(05:45):
I'm a real adult, and a lot of these adult
things like they just flat out stuck, like it just stinks.
But then there's so many things because you are an
established adult that are also awesome. So it's like a
weird combination of the two of like, oh my gosh,
life is so hard, I'm not a kid anymore. But
then there's also so many things you get to do
as an adult that are so exciting. So it's like
a good combination. Yeah, I mean, sometimes I want to
(06:06):
be a kid, and then sometimes I also just want
to be my cat because she lays around and all
day and doesn't have to worry about anything. I'd be done. No,
But my next question is kind of related. So I
started listening. I actually so funny. I got sucked in
with a Friday morning dance party driving to work. The
like songs were just so good. And then that's what
I started listening to the Moby Bone shows like twenty fourteen,
(06:27):
and then became a huge Amie fan and listened to
all of the things, four Things, back Things, all of
them keep going, seven, eight, nine, ten, however many things
you want to have, I'll probably listen to them. But
Outweigh has a special way or a part in my
heart because I am also in recovery from disordered eating,
and I just felt so comforted, I think by everything
you were saying and um seen like it just was
(06:49):
so reassuring, because you know, like there's peaks and valleys,
like I've got days where I'm like rocking and rolling
and I'm like, I'm so good, and then there's days
that you just kind of revert back or have some weirds,
and so the podcast has been so just reassuring to
keep working on that journey. And so I think something
I was just curious because these things mean a lot
to me. What are your favorite like winds and joys
(07:11):
that you've had through your recovery, Like things that you're
so thankful for that you get to do now or
enjoy because you've let go of some of those things,
you know in the Outweighed theme song, and this came
up on a four Things interview the other day that
I did, or maybe it went up I don't know
days or like what how many days has it even been,
but it might have even been a week or two ago.
But I was explaining the theme song that Britney Spencer
(07:37):
and I wrote and she sings on it and she's
an amazing up and coming country artist. But one of
the lines is sitting down for family meals around the
table and basically eating what grandma made now because we're able.
And of course I did not nail that correctly, but
y'all know what I mean. And so I think for me,
(07:57):
it's family meals around the table without the stress and
the drama, because for me, there was always anxiety, stress
and drama around food. So a lot of family meals
I either just didn't eat, or I brought my own food,
or I didn't go, and so for me, it's that
holidays aren't stressful anymore, Like Thanksgiving is no longer stressful
(08:19):
because I used to spend leading up to Thanksgiving restricting
so that then on Thanksgiving I could eat whatever I want,
and I better eat it all that day because the
next day I was going to restrict again. So it
just was was exhausting. And so I feel like the joys,
which there is no shame if that's where you are
right now, like you're not alone, totally understand. I used
(08:41):
to think, Am I the only person having these thoughts?
Am I the only person that is experiencing this right now?
As nobody else freaking out about this right And maybe
they are, but it's internal. It's not like we you know,
I'm getting my Thanksgiving plate and I'm like, okay. But
I I would look at family or friends that didn't
seem to be stressed out about it at all. They
just made it look so easy, or or I was
(09:03):
showing up to Thanksgiving having altered every recipe that I
knew under the sun to make it fit into my
little box of appropriate foods. So I would bring stuffing,
but I wouldn't be my dad's amazing recipe. That's awesome.
It would be even worth it at that point that
thing some cauliflower altered, gluten free, all vegetable, no car bread,
(09:28):
you know, no bread situation, and stuffing is bread. It
is what it is. Like you can make it gluten free,
like if your celiac or you have your allergic to gluten,
that's one thing. But I am not so. But I mean,
I just had put myself in this box and so
it's just very very stressful. So just the I don't
I don't even know that there's really a word for it,
(09:49):
but it kind of just feels like this, like m
and you probably are so much more fulfilled, like if
you're like I just feel like I enjoy things so
much more. And it's like it's almost sad because I
look back and I'm like I miss on so much joy,
Like there's just so many things that I feel like
I could have taken in more. But I was like you,
I was worried about like X inspires me, and I
was like, we're concerned about that, and then looking at
(10:11):
other people envious like I want to be like that.
I don't want to do what you're doing. And I
mean take it from me. I told you a minute ago,
like I've lost both my parents and they both were
really good cooks, and I missed out on a lot
and I don't get the opportunity to get that back.
I try not to dwell on that, because, like you mentioned,
it is sad, but you know, there's hope and we're
(10:31):
sharing our stories and it's exciting to know that there
is a future beyond. You don't have to stay stuck
where you are. And I'm even even looking at the
jelly or the jam, Like I have smuckers in my
fridge right now, and that's something that I wouldn't have
ever just had in my fridge casually to put on toast.
(10:53):
Are you kidding? Because they're sugar in there or it
didn't fit, Like no, why would I know? But but
oh it's cool, Like I can be like, oh, excited
about things that you have in your house now, Like
sometimes when I go to the grocery store and I
get something like that or like I don't know, I
can't think of an example, but like when I'm checking out,
I have like such a pride and the fact that
I'm buying something, and then I'm so happy that it's
(11:14):
at my house, Like there's just something satisfying about having
it at your house. Mine's oreos. If you listen to Outweigh,
you know that Lisa and I talking, oreos always come
up as my example because I think that was just
a food that you know, everybody knows. It's so common.
And if I had it in the pantry and there
was any left, I would have to discard of it
because I didn't trust myself. So either I would eat
(11:34):
as many as I could and then throw the rest away,
or I would just be like, oh, I can just
have one, and then I'm gonna put water all over
the rest, so that way they're ruined, and I'm gonna
put them in the trash, you know, so I don't
know I have them there. And now when you get
to have them, when you love it, it's great. Yeah,
and it's not easy to get there, but it is possible.
(11:55):
And yes, I love buying oreos at the store and
I love having them in my pantry. So I just
recently got married in September, and I realized that leading
(12:15):
up to our wedding, I did nothing like diet exercise related.
I soaked in every bridal shower my bachelor at party.
Everything like loved all of it, and I was just
so reflective and thankful that I had putting so much
work to get to that point that I didn't even
cross my mind til later I looked back and I
was like, you go, girl, Like I took it all in.
(12:36):
I actually like stopped working out because I felt like
I was putting too much stress on myself. Between wedding planning,
I was really busy with work and putting exercise stress
on was just like not it was not it Like
it just wasn't the right recipe. And so I took
a break and I was like I never would have
done that before, and it made it so much sweeter
because I just got to like hang out and take
care of myself and have like the best time. So
(12:57):
it was wonderful. Well, thank you for sharing that tidbit.
For anybody else that's leading up to a big event,
like that might be the exact words they needed to hear.
And I'm with you, Like I used to juice before
certain work events, and I mean, if you're doing it
for nutritional purposes, like I can see the value in juice,
But for me, I used to all this prep used
(13:19):
to go into like certain events, and I'm right there
with you. It's like, now I have work events. It's
like la la la, normal day. And if any part
of my brain starts to think, uh, like I was
in California last month to film that movie, and like
I've never been on a big screen before, but you
hear you just have in our head. You know, they
say the camera adds ten pounds, And so then my
(13:41):
mind started playing tricks on me, and I had to
just stand firm though whatever side of my brain it
is that was like able to keep me in line.
Like when we went through the lunch line, like they had,
you know, with Craft Services or whatever it's called it
out in Hollywood. Um, but it was meal time and
everyone went in eight and I purposefully put you know,
(14:03):
went through the line. I was like, put it all,
put it all my plate. I didn't know for sure
what I was going to end up gravitating towards, but
I didn't even want to give my brain the chance
to restrict. So if I even questioned it, I was like, uh,
And then I'm like, excuse me, is there dessert somewhere?
I'm gonna just go ahead and give myself that option.
It wasn't a binge in any way, shape or form.
(14:24):
It was just like, I have the opportunity to eat
all of this or a few bites of each thing,
like whatever it looks like. I just I'm going to
fuel my body because it's lunchtime and I'm working, and
I'm not going to think about the camera or what
I'm going to look like or whatever. And that just
if they would have called me to do that movie
two years ago, I would have been probably juicing and
(14:46):
then and then stressed and weak and irritable, and it
wouldn't have been as much fun of an experience because
I just would have been consumed, and you just probably
were able to take it in and enjoy it because
you weren't using so much mind space and controlling and
fretting over all these things. So yeah, for you too. Thanks.
(15:06):
So my questions are all kind of random. The last
one segue kind of nicely, but this one is just
like kind of unrelated entirely. But I love mornings. I'm
all about my morning Routine's my favorite time of day.
And I know your morning starts so early, so your
morning routine, I know you make your bed every morning
and that's wonderful, so good job. But if you didn't
(15:28):
start so early, like let's say you work like a
nine to five and you could just you know, wake
up kind of when the rest of the world makes up.
What would your favorite morning routine be, Like, how would
you set up your day? Well, I'll tell you. I'll
just give you how I set it my day because
I I like it. You still kind of do the
same thing, even though it's just like way earlier than
everybody else, Like you feel like you still kind of
have that transition into the day. It is what it is,
(15:49):
and I've got it down, and I mean some mornings
are more difficult, and I question In fact, I think
I literally journal this morning that you know, I almost
wasn't going to journal, but I journaled that. I was like,
I was about to not journal, and now I'm making
myself journal. So the making the bed thing, though for
new people, that is not something I've always done. That
was probably a late thirties revelation of that. That's something
(16:12):
that just really makes me feel good. I used to
be a big snoozer, so most of my radio career,
waking up early, I was actually waking myself up even
earlier so that I could press snooze, and so now
I don't press snooze anymore. I wake up right away,
I get out of bed. The first thing I do
is make my bed. Otherwise it's not going to happen,
(16:33):
because there are days that it doesn't happen, but I try.
That is part of it. And then now I've added
three minutes of journaling to my routine, and that's very new.
But I know that I'm capable of keeping it going
because I've done it enough now to where I think
it's habitual. I mean, I mean even doing it on
Saturdays and Sundays when I have more time, and I'm
trying to add even a few more minutes on those days.
(16:53):
But I just do three minutes. I literally I will
pull up. You'll see this right now, Emma, Like you
can out for me if you go to my like,
here's my clock app. If you go to my timer,
can you see what it's said on Yeah, yeah, it's
ready for tomorrow. It's got the three minutes right, And
so I hit start and then I start journaling and
my timer counts down and then it goes and then
(17:16):
I put my pin down and I'm done. Check the box,
and then I move on to I go and make
some coffee, and then I washed my face and start
my makeup, and then if I'm really good on time,
I'll make toast with maybe some butter and jam. But
I don't know. I got to say some mornings I
spend too long in my closet trying to figure out
(17:39):
should I wear leggings again today or not? And then
I end up just grabbing like either a no cow
bar or a kind bar and I run out the door. Yeah,
I think I ate a protein waffle, like one of
those frozen frozen ones, like literally in the car driving
this morning. I'm not used to being at work because
we are still kind of hybrid, but this was like
(18:00):
I caught my super Bowl week all over. Intern started
this week, so I've been crazy busy. This is my
fourth day in a row thing at work, which is
like totally unheard of for me right now. So the
outfit thing, I was like do I have for outfits?
Like I don't even know what to wear it for
four days in a row. So I know that getting
stuff in your closet thing, and then the time flies
you're like, well, I'm really in there, that long and
then you're behind it. Then you're eating a waffle, you know,
(18:21):
just straight up in the car dry. Hey, you gotta
do what you gotta do. That part of my morning
definitely looks different. But that pop out of bed and
you know, part of the me popping up now, I
mean the snoozing took practice. It took work, like I
just had to commit. But mel Robbins five second rule
has helped me a lot with that because there's some
mornings where I just I'm like, uh why and then
(18:44):
I just to one go. That's what kind of what
I did with the journal this morning. I was like,
you know what, I just want to go get my
coffee first, Like, I just want to get ready. I've
been watching these videos on YouTube while I get ready.
That's another part of my morning routine is I watch things,
and I try to watch things that are gonna impact
me positively to prepare me because I'm about to enter
a space where I'm talking to other people. Now. I mean,
(19:06):
some days, if like you know, I'm really into the staircase,
then I'm watching that guy who killed his wife by
pushing her down the stairs, which is tragic and awful,
but I try to save that for other times, like
that's what I work out to actually, which I'm like
a weirdo. Or I go to bed watching Snapped Lately,
which is another good, wholesome show. But when i'm you know,
(19:28):
doing here and makeup and getting ready, I'll just like
search on YouTube different people that I enjoy, like Burnet Brown,
for example, and then there's a list of others that
I go through and I just type their name into
YouTube and I see what pops up. Where have they
been a guest on? Something similar to what people probably
do with podcasts, but I don't know, just something about
I like having my computer right there with me instead
of just searching for a podcast and listening to it
(19:49):
on my phone. I like having the screen and the visual,
which is something I think we're going to eventually start
doing for the Four Things podcast, to start recording things
and then putting that up places, because it is just
a different audience or a different way for people to
access it, even if just like four people are doing it.
I don't care. No, that's so cool, and I resonate
(20:10):
with that so much because that's actually like what the
Body Bones show is for me, is like when I'm
getting ready because I'm a podcast listener because I can't
listen throughout the day, so like I listened later and
I'm usually like a day behind. But it's like gets
me out of bed because I walk my dog every morning.
I listened, you know, to the show, and then maybe
by the time I'm getting ready, I'm on the post
show or something like that. But you guys are like
you hang with me, like throughout my whole morning routeam
(20:32):
and it's just fun. Like it just gets me going,
like I get to hear other people and there's things
going on. It gets me kind of just ready for
the day. My favorite is the thing with Cat comes
out every Tuesday, and I go into work every Tuesday
in my commune is thirty minutes, and so it's literally perfect.
I look forward to Tuesday mornings. I get in my
car with my coffee and I just listen to you
(20:52):
and Cat and it's like my little ritual. It's my favorite.
I love it. So thanks selfishly for timing that up right.
Oh yeah, no, that's perfect. Yeah, thirty minutes is about
what we try to make the fifth thing, but sometimes
we go a little bit over shorter. Sometimes we're like,
let's just try to make it like fifteen or twenty
because some people do request like quicker things. They're like,
I want to listen to y'all, but I don't have
(21:13):
thirty minutes, and I want to feel like I'm missing out,
and then we can't. We try, and we set a
timer and then the next thing you know, it's thirty
minutes and we're like shoot cat, and I could go
on and on, and if we started working on it
last year, I had to press pause. We're working on
like a four Things tour. I don't even know that.
I want to call it a podcast tour. It'll be
(21:36):
like the podcast and it's going to be live, but
I don't want it recorded and I don't want it
put up. So if it's not recorded, that means it's
not going to live anywhere. Because I want people that
are coming for it to be a safe space for them. Well,
I get it, it's not lost on me. They're sitting
in a room full of mostly strangers. But I still
(21:56):
want to create, you know, an evening that's like, hey,
if you have a question, like, it's okay, you can
ask it, and then hopefully, you know, they don't have
to worry about it being on a podcast somewhere forever,
and you know, whatever happens just sort of happens, and
we'll see where the night goes. And it's going to
be like the podcast. I mean, sometimes we talk about
really light things and fun and funny. We tell a
(22:18):
funny story or share something that's going on in our lives,
or we might get into the weeds a little bit
and it might get a little bit more personal and
it might hit different and there might be some emotion.
I don't I don't really know. We're planning it out
and it's my team that I'm working with, and like
I can't really plan it out because I kind of
just wanted to happen. So like, how do we plan that?
(22:39):
Like a live don't you like a listener email? Like
you have your listen listener emails, it's like a live
listener email. But I want interaction, audience interaction, we'll call
it that. So we're trying to see what that will
look like. The cat will be with me. So I
think it's important that if we do unpack anythings, like
I want a therapist and expert on hand, but it
(23:00):
be I don't want people to think the tour is
just like a therapeutic type thing because it's not again,
still working on exactly what it is. And once I
figured that out, I'll share a little bit more. But
you know, we're looking at, you know, even what cities
are we going to go to and what will that
look like? And how can I be gone? And it
will it be a weekend? And then what about the kids?
(23:20):
And can I get back home? And you know, just
I don't know, do we maybe we need to come
to Ohio. I was gonna say that sounds amazing, And
so you already have at least one person participating, you
can count me in. I don't care where it is.
We've been looking at venues and anytime the venues are
like have too many seats, I'm like, no, no, no, no no, no, no,
(23:40):
that's too much pressure, too much pressure. Ohio has some
smaller venues for you. We're not really a metropolis well
as of right now. And I feel like if I
came to Ohio, since I have party of one, you
and I could probably could just be like we could
just meet up at a Chick fil A or something. Okay,
I am not opposed. That would be lovely and I
can hug you up with all of the good smuckers goodies.
(24:02):
Oh which, speaking of Chick fil A, that's where it's
at with the jelly, Like, I don't know if they
use smuckers. They do, okay, but but I do know
that when I get a chicken biscuit for breakfast, I
request a strawberry jelly and a grape jelly, and they
give it to me in the little packet. And I
opened up my biscuit with my chicken, and on one
(24:24):
biscuit I spread the grape, and then on the other biscuit,
I spread the strawberry, and then I put it together
and it's this perfect salty sweet combination. I just now
put that connection together because I didn't realize mic drop
like tell your boss is well done, because that's where
it's at. I will know that's awesome. I I like,
(24:45):
I'm a honey person, so we obviously make like uncrustables.
Two people love on crustables, the peanut, butter, honey, even
crustable is my If you had to ask me for
my number one product, it would be that. Okay, I
might have to go try that, and you know what
I can because I don't have my disordered eating habits
holding me back because that's something that I would have
I would have never eaten in the past. Well, thank
(25:07):
you for sharing some of your story and I know
that's going to be helpful to others for sure. And
for listening to Outweigh. That's something that when Lisa she
just had to step down from that. She's still doing
Truth FEUs Life her podcast, but she had to step
down as my co host from that, and we thought
about dissolving it entirely, and then I just thought, no,
(25:28):
this is important to me. This is my passion, Like
I don't care what we have to do, and you
know it's not my most listen to thing because not
everybody deals with that. We're not doing it to make money.
Of course, it has commercials in it because it's on
a platform. It's I heart, but it's like, if I
were to let go of something like someone might look
at where I invest my time and what I get
(25:48):
back from it and they might be like, you might
want to let Outweigh go, But I'm like, no, I can't.
I would have loved to have had something like this
for myself for all those years, and of course podcasts
haven't been around forever so we wouldn't have had that.
But I just I spent much of the early two thousand's,
some of the nineties, and then you know, the two
(26:09):
thousand tens just feeling so alone. And the beautiful thing
about podcasting, YouTube, all the different ways we can connect Instagram,
depending on how much you're on social media, are what
you use it for. Like there's so many tools and
resources that are just out there and people cheering, and
you're like, thank you, I'm not alone. And if Outweigh
can be just a tiny piece of that puzzle, like
(26:30):
I wanted to be there. So we're Outweigh. It's Outweigh
is continuing, So thank you. I was so nervous when
I saw the update like come across as like the
title on the podcast, I was like, oh no, what's happening?
So selfishly, thanks for not giving up on it and
making sure that you put your passion before just the
data on paper. It definitely shines through and it means
(26:51):
a lot to at least me, so I know others
feel the same way. Awesome, Well, thank you Emma for
the for the Q and A. And do we do
get on time? How do we do? I feel like
we're doing pretty good. I feel like I need to
leave in the next like for sure walk out in
my car in the next two minutes, so I'm gonna
be late for therapy. And then I still have my
Chipotle salad here, but I'll just take a few bites
(27:11):
and then eat the rest of it after therapy. But
I hope you enjoy your Chipotle later. I hope your
therapy session goes well. And I just appreciate you reaching
out and emailing to host the listener Q and A.
And if others are curious about that and they maybe
want to do the same, you can just send an
email to four Things with Amy Brown at gmail dot com.
That's what you did, write Emma, I did, and I
(27:32):
can't believe I did it. And now I'm here and
I'm just it was so worth it. So if you're
thinking about it, do it. You get to talk to Amy.
It's great. Oh well, I'm excited because I got stuck
to Emma, So it's great. And yeah, smuckers Strawberry DM
for life. That's what I say. I love it all right, Well,
thank you, Emma. I appreciate you. You You have a great day.
Happy Sunday, Welcome to listener, Q and A. I'm sitting
across from Emma Bailey on Zoom and I was just
having to apologize to Emma because I'm just very very
behind today and I'm scarfing down my Chipotle and I
have a therapy appointment coming up, so I'm like, we
gotta just stay on schedule because I will ramble. And
(00:24):
she was like, well, guess what I ramble to. She's like,
I'm having Chipotle for dinner and I also have therapy tonight.
We're basically the same person. We sure are. And so Emma,
tell us where you are coming to us from. I
can see that you're at work, so I don't know
what you can say what you can't say, but just
go ahead and share with us a little cliffs notes
version of Emma. Okay, I can do that. So I'm
(00:47):
coming from Akron, Ohio, which is kind of like a
suburb ish of Cleveland. So I'm about an hour south
of Cleveland, and I manage an internship program at a
Fortune five hundred company in the CpG industry. So you're
going to say who you work for or no, you
just had fortune which for But no, it's the JM.
(01:08):
Smucker Company. Like right now behind her, y'all can't see
this because this is podcast, but behind her is a
big jar of strawberry Smuckers jam and that that's my favorite. Like,
if I had to rank them, it would go strawberry, Well,
strawberry then great, and then maybe BlackBerry. There's some other
(01:29):
fun ones. But I stick to the staples too. Sometimes
I'll get a little exotic. But if you if I
really had to pick, I would stick with the staples.
But yeah, we have a ton of really fun products too.
So like my dog loves that we own milk phone
because he has a continuous supply of milks one at home,
which is definitely his favorite. Oh so yeah, I had
no idea. I mean, I'm looking at a lot of
the different products, like there's more than just jelly behind you.
(01:50):
But I didn't know that one big company owned all
those products. Like I just thought people in Ohio don't realize,
like we're here in Ohio. So it's fun to kind
of debunk those myths. It's my favorite thing to do. Awesome, Okay,
Well hit us with the questions, like this is I'm
passing the mike to you. This is your episode so
you can lead it. Well. I think the first thing
(02:10):
I really wanted to talk about. And one thing I
love about you is you're so age positive. And I
just turned thirty a couple of weeks ago, and I
am too, Like I was so excited to turn thirty.
I feel like this third decade is going to be
my best one. Yeah. I just feel like I know
who I am, I know what matters to me, I
have the right people in my life, and just like
have a ton of momentum going into this next decade.
(02:31):
And I was just gonna ask you, now that you're
past this decade, what were some things that you learned
through this decade that you carried into your next decade
or you know, as somebody going into their thirties that
you'd be like, hey, I learned this, so maybe you
don't have to go through that. I loved my early thirties,
but I think it was probably my early to mid
(02:52):
thirties that I are I started to experience some real
adults like adversity and stuff where I was just like
what in the world. And so the thirties stretched me
for sure, and what I learned for me personally, everybody's
journey is going to be different. But I learned how
to look inward. And I don't really know that I
(03:13):
had done that much work on myself until my mid
to late thirties and then now entering my forties and
forty one, and I'm all about work and like digging
into it, working introspectively, like working on myself. Probably a
little into right now because I think about I try
to tie everything into why I'm doing. What I'm doing
(03:35):
is probably because of X Y Z, and it's probably
just because I'm in the thick of trying to unpack
a lot of stuff and figure it out, you know
what I mean. So, but I would say the thirties
it laid the groundwork for what I was going to
need in my early forties, because forties where stuff really
hit the fan for me. But I don't think if
I had laid the groundwork in my thirties, then I
(03:56):
would have been I don't know, and then having like
core support and family and friends and connection connection with
something that I didn't I didn't realize. I wasn't very
good at I was just kind of like I connect,
you know, I don't know within friends and family would
express to me actually, I don't really feel like you
connect that well. And I was I am was am
(04:17):
and still thankful for their honesty. But you know, a
lot of that was unpacked in the later part of
that decade for me. So I left the thirties, especially
the beginning like that was thriving then, and then my
mom got cancer, and then later in my late thirties,
my dad got cancer, and then I was trying to adopt.
I couldn't get pregnant. I mean, there was all kinds
of things that I faced in that decade, but I
(04:40):
can now see what I went through and how it's
benefiting me now. And then the gifts that came from that,
like not getting to get pregnant led us to adoption,
and now I have two beautiful children from Haiti. And
you know that the groundwork but stable ground and all
of that happened in my thirties, and it took a
(05:02):
lot of prayer, a lot of unanswered prayers, a lot
of waiting, a lot of figuring it, figuring out things,
a lot of perseverance and hope, a lot of hope. Yeah,
like hindsight, like you look back and you it was
probably so hard at the time, but you look back
and like that all happened because now I'm better suited
to and handle things differently. But that I wouldn't say
that about my twenties, my decade of my twenties, or
(05:24):
the decade even before that. If I had to pick,
like do you want to go back and redo your
twenties or your thirties, I would still redo my thirties
because not redo it, like write the story differently. That's
the one I would want to relive. Although, yeah, college
was pretty fun, so I don't know. I've had times
recently where I realized like, oh my gosh, like I'm
(05:45):
I'm a real adult, and a lot of these adult
things like they just flat out stuck, like it just stinks.
But then there's so many things because you are an
established adult that are also awesome. So it's like a
weird combination of the two of like, oh my gosh,
life is so hard, I'm not a kid anymore. But
then there's also so many things you get to do
as an adult that are so exciting. So it's like
a good combination. Yeah, I mean, sometimes I want to
(06:06):
be a kid, and then sometimes I also just want
to be my cat because she lays around and all
day and doesn't have to worry about anything. I'd be done. No,
But my next question is kind of related. So I
started listening. I actually so funny. I got sucked in
with a Friday morning dance party driving to work. The
like songs were just so good. And then that's what
I started listening to the Moby Bone shows like twenty fourteen,
(06:27):
and then became a huge Amie fan and listened to
all of the things, four Things, back Things, all of
them keep going, seven, eight, nine, ten, however many things
you want to have, I'll probably listen to them. But
Outweigh has a special way or a part in my
heart because I am also in recovery from disordered eating,
and I just felt so comforted, I think by everything
you were saying and um seen like it just was
(06:49):
so reassuring, because you know, like there's peaks and valleys,
like I've got days where I'm like rocking and rolling
and I'm like, I'm so good, and then there's days
that you just kind of revert back or have some weirds,
and so the podcast has been so just reassuring to
keep working on that journey. And so I think something
I was just curious because these things mean a lot
to me. What are your favorite like winds and joys
(07:11):
that you've had through your recovery, Like things that you're
so thankful for that you get to do now or
enjoy because you've let go of some of those things,
you know in the Outweighed theme song, and this came
up on a four Things interview the other day that
I did, or maybe it went up I don't know
days or like what how many days has it even been,
but it might have even been a week or two ago.
But I was explaining the theme song that Britney Spencer
(07:37):
and I wrote and she sings on it and she's
an amazing up and coming country artist. But one of
the lines is sitting down for family meals around the
table and basically eating what grandma made now because we're able.
And of course I did not nail that correctly, but
y'all know what I mean. And so I think for me,
(07:57):
it's family meals around the table without the stress and
the drama, because for me, there was always anxiety, stress
and drama around food. So a lot of family meals
I either just didn't eat, or I brought my own food,
or I didn't go, and so for me, it's that
holidays aren't stressful anymore, Like Thanksgiving is no longer stressful
(08:19):
because I used to spend leading up to Thanksgiving restricting
so that then on Thanksgiving I could eat whatever I want,
and I better eat it all that day because the
next day I was going to restrict again. So it
just was was exhausting. And so I feel like the joys,
which there is no shame if that's where you are
right now, like you're not alone, totally understand. I used
(08:41):
to think, Am I the only person having these thoughts?
Am I the only person that is experiencing this right now?
As nobody else freaking out about this right And maybe
they are, but it's internal. It's not like we you know,
I'm getting my Thanksgiving plate and I'm like, okay. But
I I would look at family or friends that didn't
seem to be stressed out about it at all. They
just made it look so easy, or or I was
(09:03):
showing up to Thanksgiving having altered every recipe that I
knew under the sun to make it fit into my
little box of appropriate foods. So I would bring stuffing,
but I wouldn't be my dad's amazing recipe. That's awesome.
It would be even worth it at that point that
thing some cauliflower altered, gluten free, all vegetable, no car bread,
(09:28):
you know, no bread situation, and stuffing is bread. It
is what it is. Like you can make it gluten free,
like if your celiac or you have your allergic to gluten,
that's one thing. But I am not so. But I mean,
I just had put myself in this box and so
it's just very very stressful. So just the I don't
I don't even know that there's really a word for it,
(09:49):
but it kind of just feels like this, like m
and you probably are so much more fulfilled, like if
you're like I just feel like I enjoy things so
much more. And it's like it's almost sad because I
look back and I'm like I miss on so much joy,
Like there's just so many things that I feel like
I could have taken in more. But I was like you,
I was worried about like X inspires me, and I
was like, we're concerned about that, and then looking at
(10:11):
other people envious like I want to be like that.
I don't want to do what you're doing. And I
mean take it from me. I told you a minute ago,
like I've lost both my parents and they both were
really good cooks, and I missed out on a lot
and I don't get the opportunity to get that back.
I try not to dwell on that, because, like you mentioned,
it is sad, but you know, there's hope and we're
(10:31):
sharing our stories and it's exciting to know that there
is a future beyond. You don't have to stay stuck
where you are. And I'm even even looking at the
jelly or the jam, Like I have smuckers in my
fridge right now, and that's something that I wouldn't have
ever just had in my fridge casually to put on toast.
(10:53):
Are you kidding? Because they're sugar in there or it
didn't fit, Like no, why would I know? But but
oh it's cool, Like I can be like, oh, excited
about things that you have in your house now, Like
sometimes when I go to the grocery store and I
get something like that or like I don't know, I
can't think of an example, but like when I'm checking out,
I have like such a pride and the fact that
I'm buying something, and then I'm so happy that it's
(11:14):
at my house, Like there's just something satisfying about having
it at your house. Mine's oreos. If you listen to Outweigh,
you know that Lisa and I talking, oreos always come
up as my example because I think that was just
a food that you know, everybody knows. It's so common.
And if I had it in the pantry and there
was any left, I would have to discard of it
because I didn't trust myself. So either I would eat
(11:34):
as many as I could and then throw the rest away,
or I would just be like, oh, I can just
have one, and then I'm gonna put water all over
the rest, so that way they're ruined, and I'm gonna
put them in the trash, you know, so I don't
know I have them there. And now when you get
to have them, when you love it, it's great. Yeah,
and it's not easy to get there, but it is possible.
(11:55):
And yes, I love buying oreos at the store and
I love having them in my pantry. So I just
recently got married in September, and I realized that leading
(12:15):
up to our wedding, I did nothing like diet exercise related.
I soaked in every bridal shower my bachelor at party.
Everything like loved all of it, and I was just
so reflective and thankful that I had putting so much
work to get to that point that I didn't even
cross my mind til later I looked back and I
was like, you go, girl, Like I took it all in.
(12:36):
I actually like stopped working out because I felt like
I was putting too much stress on myself. Between wedding planning,
I was really busy with work and putting exercise stress
on was just like not it was not it Like
it just wasn't the right recipe. And so I took
a break and I was like I never would have
done that before, and it made it so much sweeter
because I just got to like hang out and take
care of myself and have like the best time. So
(12:57):
it was wonderful. Well, thank you for sharing that tidbit.
For anybody else that's leading up to a big event,
like that might be the exact words they needed to hear.
And I'm with you, Like I used to juice before
certain work events, and I mean, if you're doing it
for nutritional purposes, like I can see the value in juice,
But for me, I used to all this prep used
(13:19):
to go into like certain events, and I'm right there
with you. It's like, now I have work events. It's
like la la la, normal day. And if any part
of my brain starts to think, uh, like I was
in California last month to film that movie, and like
I've never been on a big screen before, but you
hear you just have in our head. You know, they
say the camera adds ten pounds, And so then my
(13:41):
mind started playing tricks on me, and I had to
just stand firm though whatever side of my brain it
is that was like able to keep me in line.
Like when we went through the lunch line, like they had,
you know, with Craft Services or whatever it's called it
out in Hollywood. Um, but it was meal time and
everyone went in eight and I purposefully put you know,
(14:03):
went through the line. I was like, put it all,
put it all my plate. I didn't know for sure
what I was going to end up gravitating towards, but
I didn't even want to give my brain the chance
to restrict. So if I even questioned it, I was like, uh,
And then I'm like, excuse me, is there dessert somewhere?
I'm gonna just go ahead and give myself that option.
It wasn't a binge in any way, shape or form.
(14:24):
It was just like, I have the opportunity to eat
all of this or a few bites of each thing,
like whatever it looks like. I just I'm going to
fuel my body because it's lunchtime and I'm working, and
I'm not going to think about the camera or what
I'm going to look like or whatever. And that just
if they would have called me to do that movie
two years ago, I would have been probably juicing and
(14:46):
then and then stressed and weak and irritable, and it
wouldn't have been as much fun of an experience because
I just would have been consumed, and you just probably
were able to take it in and enjoy it because
you weren't using so much mind space and controlling and
fretting over all these things. So yeah, for you too. Thanks.
(15:06):
So my questions are all kind of random. The last
one segue kind of nicely, but this one is just
like kind of unrelated entirely. But I love mornings. I'm
all about my morning Routine's my favorite time of day.
And I know your morning starts so early, so your
morning routine, I know you make your bed every morning
and that's wonderful, so good job. But if you didn't
(15:28):
start so early, like let's say you work like a
nine to five and you could just you know, wake
up kind of when the rest of the world makes up.
What would your favorite morning routine be, Like, how would
you set up your day? Well, I'll tell you. I'll
just give you how I set it my day because
I I like it. You still kind of do the
same thing, even though it's just like way earlier than
everybody else, Like you feel like you still kind of
have that transition into the day. It is what it is,
(15:49):
and I've got it down, and I mean some mornings
are more difficult, and I question In fact, I think
I literally journal this morning that you know, I almost
wasn't going to journal, but I journaled that. I was like,
I was about to not journal, and now I'm making
myself journal. So the making the bed thing, though for
new people, that is not something I've always done. That
was probably a late thirties revelation of that. That's something
(16:12):
that just really makes me feel good. I used to
be a big snoozer, so most of my radio career,
waking up early, I was actually waking myself up even
earlier so that I could press snooze, and so now
I don't press snooze anymore. I wake up right away,
I get out of bed. The first thing I do
is make my bed. Otherwise it's not going to happen,
(16:33):
because there are days that it doesn't happen, but I try.
That is part of it. And then now I've added
three minutes of journaling to my routine, and that's very new.
But I know that I'm capable of keeping it going
because I've done it enough now to where I think
it's habitual. I mean, I mean even doing it on
Saturdays and Sundays when I have more time, and I'm
trying to add even a few more minutes on those days.
(16:53):
But I just do three minutes. I literally I will
pull up. You'll see this right now, Emma, Like you
can out for me if you go to my like,
here's my clock app. If you go to my timer,
can you see what it's said on Yeah, yeah, it's
ready for tomorrow. It's got the three minutes right, And
so I hit start and then I start journaling and
my timer counts down and then it goes and then
(17:16):
I put my pin down and I'm done. Check the box,
and then I move on to I go and make
some coffee, and then I washed my face and start
my makeup, and then if I'm really good on time,
I'll make toast with maybe some butter and jam. But
I don't know. I got to say some mornings I
spend too long in my closet trying to figure out
(17:39):
should I wear leggings again today or not? And then
I end up just grabbing like either a no cow
bar or a kind bar and I run out the door. Yeah,
I think I ate a protein waffle, like one of
those frozen frozen ones, like literally in the car driving
this morning. I'm not used to being at work because
we are still kind of hybrid, but this was like
(18:00):
I caught my super Bowl week all over. Intern started
this week, so I've been crazy busy. This is my
fourth day in a row thing at work, which is
like totally unheard of for me right now. So the
outfit thing, I was like do I have for outfits?
Like I don't even know what to wear it for
four days in a row. So I know that getting
stuff in your closet thing, and then the time flies
you're like, well, I'm really in there, that long and
then you're behind it. Then you're eating a waffle, you know,
(18:21):
just straight up in the car dry. Hey, you gotta
do what you gotta do. That part of my morning
definitely looks different. But that pop out of bed and
you know, part of the me popping up now, I
mean the snoozing took practice. It took work, like I
just had to commit. But mel Robbins five second rule
has helped me a lot with that because there's some
mornings where I just I'm like, uh why and then
(18:44):
I just to one go. That's what kind of what
I did with the journal this morning. I was like,
you know what, I just want to go get my
coffee first, Like, I just want to get ready. I've
been watching these videos on YouTube while I get ready.
That's another part of my morning routine is I watch things,
and I try to watch things that are gonna impact
me positively to prepare me because I'm about to enter
a space where I'm talking to other people. Now. I mean,
(19:06):
some days, if like you know, I'm really into the staircase,
then I'm watching that guy who killed his wife by
pushing her down the stairs, which is tragic and awful,
but I try to save that for other times, like
that's what I work out to actually, which I'm like
a weirdo. Or I go to bed watching Snapped Lately,
which is another good, wholesome show. But when i'm you know,
(19:28):
doing here and makeup and getting ready, I'll just like
search on YouTube different people that I enjoy, like Burnet Brown,
for example, and then there's a list of others that
I go through and I just type their name into
YouTube and I see what pops up. Where have they
been a guest on? Something similar to what people probably
do with podcasts, but I don't know, just something about
I like having my computer right there with me instead
of just searching for a podcast and listening to it
(19:49):
on my phone. I like having the screen and the visual,
which is something I think we're going to eventually start
doing for the Four Things podcast, to start recording things
and then putting that up places, because it is just
a different audience or a different way for people to
access it, even if just like four people are doing it.
I don't care. No, that's so cool, and I resonate
(20:10):
with that so much because that's actually like what the
Body Bones show is for me, is like when I'm
getting ready because I'm a podcast listener because I can't
listen throughout the day, so like I listened later and
I'm usually like a day behind. But it's like gets
me out of bed because I walk my dog every morning.
I listened, you know, to the show, and then maybe
by the time I'm getting ready, I'm on the post
show or something like that. But you guys are like
you hang with me, like throughout my whole morning routeam
(20:32):
and it's just fun. Like it just gets me going,
like I get to hear other people and there's things
going on. It gets me kind of just ready for
the day. My favorite is the thing with Cat comes
out every Tuesday, and I go into work every Tuesday
in my commune is thirty minutes, and so it's literally perfect.
I look forward to Tuesday mornings. I get in my
car with my coffee and I just listen to you
(20:52):
and Cat and it's like my little ritual. It's my favorite.
I love it. So thanks selfishly for timing that up right.
Oh yeah, no, that's perfect. Yeah, thirty minutes is about
what we try to make the fifth thing, but sometimes
we go a little bit over shorter. Sometimes we're like,
let's just try to make it like fifteen or twenty
because some people do request like quicker things. They're like,
I want to listen to y'all, but I don't have
(21:13):
thirty minutes, and I want to feel like I'm missing out,
and then we can't. We try, and we set a
timer and then the next thing you know, it's thirty
minutes and we're like shoot cat, and I could go
on and on, and if we started working on it
last year, I had to press pause. We're working on
like a four Things tour. I don't even know that.
I want to call it a podcast tour. It'll be
(21:36):
like the podcast and it's going to be live, but
I don't want it recorded and I don't want it
put up. So if it's not recorded, that means it's
not going to live anywhere. Because I want people that
are coming for it to be a safe space for them. Well,
I get it, it's not lost on me. They're sitting
in a room full of mostly strangers. But I still
(21:56):
want to create, you know, an evening that's like, hey,
if you have a question, like, it's okay, you can
ask it, and then hopefully, you know, they don't have
to worry about it being on a podcast somewhere forever,
and you know, whatever happens just sort of happens, and
we'll see where the night goes. And it's going to
be like the podcast. I mean, sometimes we talk about
really light things and fun and funny. We tell a
(22:18):
funny story or share something that's going on in our lives,
or we might get into the weeds a little bit
and it might get a little bit more personal and
it might hit different and there might be some emotion.
I don't I don't really know. We're planning it out
and it's my team that I'm working with, and like
I can't really plan it out because I kind of
just wanted to happen. So like, how do we plan that?
(22:39):
Like a live don't you like a listener email? Like
you have your listen listener emails, it's like a live
listener email. But I want interaction, audience interaction, we'll call
it that. So we're trying to see what that will
look like. The cat will be with me. So I
think it's important that if we do unpack anythings, like
I want a therapist and expert on hand, but it
(23:00):
be I don't want people to think the tour is
just like a therapeutic type thing because it's not again,
still working on exactly what it is. And once I
figured that out, I'll share a little bit more. But
you know, we're looking at, you know, even what cities
are we going to go to and what will that
look like? And how can I be gone? And it
will it be a weekend? And then what about the kids?
(23:20):
And can I get back home? And you know, just
I don't know, do we maybe we need to come
to Ohio. I was gonna say that sounds amazing, And
so you already have at least one person participating, you
can count me in. I don't care where it is.
We've been looking at venues and anytime the venues are
like have too many seats, I'm like, no, no, no, no no, no, no,
(23:40):
that's too much pressure, too much pressure. Ohio has some
smaller venues for you. We're not really a metropolis well
as of right now. And I feel like if I
came to Ohio, since I have party of one, you
and I could probably could just be like we could
just meet up at a Chick fil A or something. Okay,
I am not opposed. That would be lovely and I
can hug you up with all of the good smuckers goodies.
(24:02):
Oh which, speaking of Chick fil A, that's where it's
at with the jelly, Like, I don't know if they
use smuckers. They do, okay, but but I do know
that when I get a chicken biscuit for breakfast, I
request a strawberry jelly and a grape jelly, and they
give it to me in the little packet. And I
opened up my biscuit with my chicken, and on one
(24:24):
biscuit I spread the grape, and then on the other biscuit,
I spread the strawberry, and then I put it together
and it's this perfect salty sweet combination. I just now
put that connection together because I didn't realize mic drop
like tell your boss is well done, because that's where
it's at. I will know that's awesome. I I like,
(24:45):
I'm a honey person, so we obviously make like uncrustables.
Two people love on crustables, the peanut, butter, honey, even
crustable is my If you had to ask me for
my number one product, it would be that. Okay, I
might have to go try that, and you know what
I can because I don't have my disordered eating habits
holding me back because that's something that I would have
I would have never eaten in the past. Well, thank
(25:07):
you for sharing some of your story and I know
that's going to be helpful to others for sure. And
for listening to Outweigh. That's something that when Lisa she
just had to step down from that. She's still doing
Truth FEUs Life her podcast, but she had to step
down as my co host from that, and we thought
about dissolving it entirely, and then I just thought, no,
(25:28):
this is important to me. This is my passion, Like
I don't care what we have to do, and you
know it's not my most listen to thing because not
everybody deals with that. We're not doing it to make money.
Of course, it has commercials in it because it's on
a platform. It's I heart, but it's like, if I
were to let go of something like someone might look
at where I invest my time and what I get
(25:48):
back from it and they might be like, you might
want to let Outweigh go, But I'm like, no, I can't.
I would have loved to have had something like this
for myself for all those years, and of course podcasts
haven't been around forever so we wouldn't have had that.
But I just I spent much of the early two thousand's,
some of the nineties, and then you know, the two
(26:09):
thousand tens just feeling so alone. And the beautiful thing
about podcasting, YouTube, all the different ways we can connect Instagram,
depending on how much you're on social media, are what
you use it for. Like there's so many tools and
resources that are just out there and people cheering, and
you're like, thank you, I'm not alone. And if Outweigh
can be just a tiny piece of that puzzle, like
(26:30):
I wanted to be there. So we're Outweigh. It's Outweigh
is continuing, So thank you. I was so nervous when
I saw the update like come across as like the
title on the podcast, I was like, oh no, what's happening?
So selfishly, thanks for not giving up on it and
making sure that you put your passion before just the
data on paper. It definitely shines through and it means
(26:51):
a lot to at least me, so I know others
feel the same way. Awesome, Well, thank you Emma for
the for the Q and A. And do we do
get on time? How do we do? I feel like
we're doing pretty good. I feel like I need to
leave in the next like for sure walk out in
my car in the next two minutes, so I'm gonna
be late for therapy. And then I still have my
Chipotle salad here, but I'll just take a few bites
(27:11):
and then eat the rest of it after therapy. But
I hope you enjoy your Chipotle later. I hope your
therapy session goes well. And I just appreciate you reaching
out and emailing to host the listener Q and A.
And if others are curious about that and they maybe
want to do the same, you can just send an
email to four Things with Amy Brown at gmail dot com.
That's what you did, write Emma, I did, and I
(27:32):
can't believe I did it. And now I'm here and
I'm just it was so worth it. So if you're
thinking about it, do it. You get to talk to Amy.
It's great. Oh well, I'm excited because I got stuck
to Emma, So it's great. And yeah, smuckers Strawberry DM
for life. That's what I say. I love it all right, Well,
thank you, Emma. I appreciate you. You You have a great day.
