Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, I've started this video over like fourteen times, so
we're just gonna gonna roll with it.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So these next two weeks are going to be really different.
Brennan posted a video this.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Week just by herself talking about like the military and
just answering like basic questions on like what's going on,
but like her experience too, personally, I have nothing going
on in my life for me to like actually give
advice or talk about. So we're gonna talk about a
little bit of everything. These last two weeks have been
(00:43):
difficult with our schedules and just like different other things
going on. So now you just get none of us
for now until we get back on a schedule next week.
So I will start off by saying I did write
(01:04):
some notes because and when I mean notes, I wrote
like two pages. I am having the hardest time sitting
in here and talking about like trying to find something
interesting to talk about that would be like worth even
like posting. And then when I do find something interesting
to talk about, it's like thirty seconds, and I'm like, Okay, well,
(01:24):
how do I post a whole episode if it's thirty
seconds long? So while my tan is tanning, I'm gonna
sit here and talk about my life, I guess because
that's kind of interesting, not really so, so why I
(01:45):
started a podcast was honestly, it was kind of a
joke at first. I just really like posting on social media.
I do haird like I'll get into that, but I
really love posting my life on social media, even just
like my private story with like my close friends, Like
I love posting on my private story. I love posting
(02:06):
on Instagram. I don't know why. I just like love
posting for work, but yeah, I just I just thought
it was fun to like switch it up. I also
think it's really funny looking back on like how my
parents took memories of me my brother.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They had this like huge, like.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I don't even know what you'd call it, like camera
kind of thing with like them little things that you
put in it. I have no idea, but I remember
like that was always in our faces on like any
holiday ever. I have like pictures of my mom taking
pictures of my dad on Easter of us, like coloring eggs,
like many many, many moons ago.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So I think it would just be fun to like
look back and be like, what was I talking about
with my.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Closest friends like Brian, like what, like what were we
talking about when we were funny? I think is just
gonna be so fun to look back on. I also
think it's more fun than just like looking at a picture,
because I know, like pictures hold memories, but like you
can't hear a picture obviously, Like I feel like a
picture is such an object, an object, and this is
(03:18):
more like fulfilling. I guess, yeah, that's basically it. So
why Brin is another question. I've had a few people
ask me this, why bren because Brinn lives in Hawaii
and when we started this.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
She lived in Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And then I was just like looking and searching and
I was like, oh, like what would we even name it?
And I just come up with, like, bring her up.
I used to call Brian all the time. Brennan and
I basically lived together, so it just made sense. We
have a lot of the same interests, we have the
same views on pretty much everything. We've never fought, never
(03:59):
have thought, never even gott into like a teeny little argument.
So I was like, Okay, this is perfect because like
I know, I'm not I know I'm gonna be friends
with you in six months and just didn't do all
this for nothing. I feel like some of my friends,
I'm like on and off. It's like weird, I guess. So, yeah,
it gives Brints something to do. It gives us something
(04:20):
to look forward to. Since she is living in Hawaii,
like on the military base.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
With E, I feel like there's not much for her
to do.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So this is like a fun, little like activity because
I do work a lot, so she.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I feel. I always say like I'm in.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The brains and she's like the action. So like I
think of things and we do it and then she
takes it from there. She edits everything, she posts everything.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
She runs her TikTok.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's just a lot because I already do that for
my job. It would be hard to.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Do it like times too.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So yeah, I used to take a public speaking class
in high school and obviously that did not that did
not pay off. So so me and Brianna have talked
about this before, but like I said, I don't really
have anything interesting to talk about this week. I feel
(05:15):
like this is gonna be like a FaceTime call. We'll
even see if this even gets posted, to be honest
with you, So we met our sophomore year of high
school in Spanish class, and she was either trying to
cheat on my test or I was trying to cheat
on hers. Somehow, we graduated senior year with like highest
honors AP Spanish. So yeah, we kind of just were
(05:39):
friends from there. We were friends for like a very
short time before COVID happened, and I was like see
you in a couple of weeks and she was like
see you and that never happened. So from there we
had our like parents come and get us for each
other's houses, and then we started driving and it was
just a really fun time all the time with Brian.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I really I really miss her.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I miss you were in because you're gonna she's actually
gonna edit this, so miss you.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Love you. Yeah. So so we started hanging out. Junior year,
we hung out so much. Senior year we hung out
like even more. She was like.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Applying to colleges figure out what she wanted to do.
Me I was like very troublemaker in high school. I
like showed up and did what I had to do,
but I just like wasn't very interested. I mean I
did everyone else's work and mine, but I just like
didn't really care to be there. I know, I didn't
want to go to college, especially after two years of COVID.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Coming back senior year was really difficult for me, just
in the.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Fact of like now, like shit's getting real and like
I'm going to graduate, Like what am I doing? So
while a normal person was like applying to colleges and
like touring and like doing all.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
These things, I didn't want to do any of that,
Like I did none of that. Like I just wanted
to go and drink.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And have like the best time. And that's exactly what
I did and I don't regret it. So my mom
was like, really, like, you're not going to beauty school.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
When I got the idea.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
My dad was like, I don't care do something because
I was doing nothing productive. So my senior year is
coming to an end, and I'm like, oh, like beauty
school would be fun, Like let's apply to like a
beauty school.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So I did, and I applied for scholarship, got the scholarship.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But what I failed to realize was this scholarship was
for the summertime, so that means I was graduating and
then three very.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Very short days later, I was starting beauty school.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And I almost changed my mind and wanted to start
in the fall, but I already had the scholarship.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was mine.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I didn't know if I was somebo able to get
it again, and they couldn't transfer it. So I was
just like, you know what, like maybe this is a
sign I'll stay out of trouble, like I'll go little
side note, if there's anybody out there that is thinking
about going to beauty school, like freshman sophomore high school, girls,
(08:14):
like just do it, Like even if you're like not sure,
do it because it's free. It's something to fall back
on and you can keep renewing your license.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's like a hundred bucks or something, sixty seventy bucks, I.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Don't know for two years, and it's just like good,
it's really good quick money.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's really good money. I really.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The only thing I regret is not doing it in
high school because I paid thirty thousand dollars for school
that I learned nothing at when I could have got
the same education in high school for free. So how
I paid off my student loans. And this is another thing.
(08:56):
I want to do everything young. Obviously, I want to
buy a house, I want to have kid young, but
I just want to be like young and like living
my best life. So I paid as I went to
beauty school, which if this is really any advice I
could give to anyone.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I like, do it, especially if you live at home.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
When I was going to beauty school, I didn't get
any FASPA, so I had like no grant money. I
had to pay it all back except for my scholarship,
and to be quite honest, it was not that much.
So I had to pay like five to six thousand
dollars per semester, which there's three semesters they're thirteen weeks.
(09:40):
So for thirteen weeks I saved like five to six
thousand dollars that I had to pay or they would
kick me out of school. And so that's like that's
like fifteen twenty thousand dollars. So I paid fifteen twenty
thousand dollars in one year of just like working and
saving every penny birthday money, like because I didn't work,
(10:02):
Like it's not like I was working forty hours a week.
I was working like weekends, and then like in between
semesters we had like a little break.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I would like pick up chips.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But I wasn't making like great money like at all.
So when I got out of school, I was in
about like ten thousand dollars of debt like give or take,
give or take probably yeah, like eight to ten.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I paid on it for a whole year.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And it did nothing and literally did nothing, like I
swear every time I looked, it was like the same.
And that's when I realized like what interest is and
like how interest works. So I saved all of my
money and not all of it. I definitely could have
been better with it. I saved a lot of money
from last January to now, and I brought a check
(10:53):
and paid it off for like ten thousand dollars. I
just like don't want to have any debt moving out,
like at all. Like I didn't need to have a
student loan if I could just pay for it. And
like people were like, oh, pay on this for like
thirteen years.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's like why would you want to do that? You're
paying so much more money and interest.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And I'm glad my dad like beat that into my
head and basically made me like pay for it because
I would have never done that, like never, and my
mom she was never like.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh, like let me give you advice, like do this
and do that.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Like no, she was like, oh uh whatever, So yeah,
I would say, just pay everything off, okay, less about
school and shit and what I wish I would have
done differently, and.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
More about me.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So I do hair, only hair in Pittsburgh. I'd love
to learn how to do. I mean, I'm licensed and everything.
I just don't do it all. I'd love to learn
how to do something else except for nails. I could
never I could never do nails.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Goodness. I drive an hour to work every day. I
bought a car. Yeah, I don't know. I mean I
do have goals and dreams.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I mean they're like what everyone else wants, like a
family property, like I like want to live on like
farmland like I do now, Like I just want to
be somewhere talk about quiet where I can do just
like whatever I want. I'd love to be a salon
owner one day and to like manage people.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
My ultimate dream.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I wouldn't even say it's a goal because I don't
even think I could like pursue it at this point.
I would love to model, like I would love to model.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That was my dream girl up, that was my dream
in high school.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's all I wanted to do, and I never took
the opportunity to do anything about it, and then I
started getting tattoos, and like, I know, times have change,
but I feel like, I don't know. I feel like
the model worlds like so different. It's so different. I
would model if I had the chance. If someone were
like to walk up to me on the street and
(13:22):
be like, oh I let me take you here, I'd
be like, Okay, I'm coming, Like, let me text my
dad real quick, like let me tell him I'm not
going to be home, because I would one thousand.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Percent go model. But yeah, that's like not a goal.
That's definitely like a dream.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Things I absolutely love is just being a girl to
be to be completely honest with.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You, I love my jewelry, like I love getting ready.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I just like love having like a girl room and
a girl vibe, and like girl clothes and like tato
two and like my piercings, and I just like love.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I knows issochi.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I just love the life of a girl like and
obviously I don't know anything else, but like, I just
like loving a girl. I love getting filler. I got
my boobs done recently. I just love it's like a
girl's world. Honestly, and everyone else is living in it.
I definitely love self care. I do the most to
(14:29):
make sure I'm okay first, because I truly do think
that if you're not okay, and if you're not like
the best person that you possibly can, really can't do
much for others. And I love helping others. That's another
reason why I love doing hair. I just that like
fulfills me making other people feel good. Because for a
long time, like a long time, like years, I had
(14:54):
like a very chronic eating disorder. I actually recently talked
about on here. I didn't really go into like much detail,
but I was like ninety five pounds, like maybe ninety five,
and I'm like five six for reference, So I was
very skinny. It's very small. All through high school that
(15:18):
and then like smoking nicotine and just like knopping around
like the greatest people definitely didn't helped.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I feel like that's why I had it for so long.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now, I mean, I feel like an eating disorder really
affects you.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
For honestly the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I am a lot healthier, like, I am a lot better,
but in some ways I still cope like how I
used to, which is not like healthy I do think
it just like lives with you. I think once you
have something traumatic that happens to you like that, it's
truly hard to, like one thousand million percent get away
from forever. But honestly, I'm like doing good. I've been
(16:05):
going to therapy recently, which is like another.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Thing that helps me feel good about myself.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I just want to be the best person I can
be at all times, whether it's like my personal life,
like for my friends, for myself, for my job.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I always just want to like keep growing.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I don't want to be like my mom and like
the generational trauma.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So the therapy is kind of new and I've never ever, ever, ever,
ever been this vulnerable online in my whole life. So whatever. Anyways,
my original.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Point was I really feel fulfilled showing up to work
every single day and helping people feel like the best
versions of themselves.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just like a little pick me up.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Like I'm there to listen, I'm there to make you
feel good. I'm there to give you pretty hair, and
that makes me feel good. But if I ever went
into work with like a shitty attitude, obviously can't be
the best person for whoever's my chair and that's just
like not for them, because like you're paying for an experience,
so I need to be there like on my game. Essentially,
(17:12):
So I do take a lot of self care because
being a hairsylist is a really hard job and that
sounds so dumb, but like people trauma dump and people
constantly dumb. But I wouldn't give it for the world,
Like I honestly love doing it, which it has its stays.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I mean, everyone has their days, but typically, like I.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Love showing up to work and I love just making
people feel good. I love having that personal connection with people.
So yeah, so I definitely need to take care of
myself so I don't get burnout, essentially, is what I
was trying.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
To get to. Let's see. Okay, well that was all
my notes.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So we are at the twenty five minute mark, and I.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Feel like I just talked about a whole lot of nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
To be quite honest with you, I wish I had
something cool to talk about, just like anything. I just
like don't really have much going on, which can't complain.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Can't complain.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Brind's was so like inspirational and so helpful, and I
feel like I just told you.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
A whole lot of everything, but like a whole lot
of nothing at the same time. So we'll see if
it gets posted. We'll see if it's goods posted.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Hopefully next week we are back to normal and we
don't have any more little hiccups. It's just really hard
not doing it with brin. Yeah, I think that's all
I got. We'll see you guys next week. Well, yeah,
we'll go see you guys next week, or no, we
(18:59):
won't you you guys will see us in two weeks. Well, now,
you guys will see us when when this gets supposed
to do well, you guys will see us both a
week after that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So yeah, I hope everyone has a great day. Take
care of yourselves, do.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
What makes you happy, and everybody else comes after you.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That's that's what I'm going to leave you with today.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, take
it one day at a time, love yourself and just
love the others.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Around you, and just be kind.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I truly feel like we need more kindness in this world.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So see you next time. Drop it to devoting
Okay, I've started this video over like fourteen times, so
we're just gonna gonna roll with it.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So these next two weeks are going to be really different.
Brennan posted a video this.
Speaker 1 (00:12):

but I just like wasn't very interested. I mean I
did everyone else's work and mine, but I just like
didn't really care to be there. I know, I didn't
want to go to college, especially after two years of COVID.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Coming back senior year was really difficult for me, just
in the.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Fact of like now, like shit's getting real and like
I'm going to graduate, Like what am I doing? So
while a normal person was like applying to colleges and
like touring and like doing all.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
These things, I didn't want to do any of that,
Like I did none of that. Like I just wanted
to go and drink.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And have like the best time. And that's exactly what
I did and I don't regret it. So my mom
was like, really, like, you're not going to beauty school.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
When I got the idea.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
My dad was like, I don't care do something because
I was doing nothing productive. So my senior year is
coming to an end, and I'm like, oh, like beauty
school would be fun, Like let's apply to like a
beauty school.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So I did, and I applied for scholarship, got the scholarship.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But what I failed to realize was this scholarship was
for the summertime, so that means I was graduating and
then three very.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Very short days later, I was starting beauty school.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And I almost changed my mind and wanted to start
in the fall, but I already had the scholarship.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It was mine.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I didn't know if I was somebo able to get
it again, and they couldn't transfer it. So I was
just like, you know what, like maybe this is a
sign I'll stay out of trouble, like I'll go little
side note, if there's anybody out there that is thinking
about going to beauty school, like freshman sophomore high school, girls,
(08:14):
like just do it, Like even if you're like not sure,
do it because it's free. It's something to fall back
on and you can keep renewing your license.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's like a hundred bucks or something, sixty seventy bucks, I.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Don't know for two years, and it's just like good,
it's really good quick money.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's really good money. I really.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The only thing I regret is not doing it in
high school because I paid thirty thousand dollars for school
that I learned nothing at when I could have got
the same education in high school for free. So how
I paid off my student loans. And this is another thing.
(08:56):
I want to do everything young. Obviously, I want to
buy a house, I want to have kid young, but
I just want to be like young and like living
my best life. So I paid as I went to
beauty school, which if this is really any advice I
could give to anyone.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I like, do it, especially if you live at home.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
When I was going to beauty school, I didn't get
any FASPA, so I had like no grant money. I
had to pay it all back except for my scholarship,
and to be quite honest, it was not that much.
So I had to pay like five to six thousand
dollars per semester, which there's three semesters they're thirteen weeks.
(09:40):
So for thirteen weeks I saved like five to six
thousand dollars that I had to pay or they would
kick me out of school. And so that's like that's
like fifteen twenty thousand dollars. So I paid fifteen twenty
thousand dollars in one year of just like working and
saving every penny birthday money, like because I didn't work,
(10:02):
Like it's not like I was working forty hours a week.
I was working like weekends, and then like in between
semesters we had like a little break.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I would like pick up chips.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But I wasn't making like great money like at all.
So when I got out of school, I was in
about like ten thousand dollars of debt like give or take,
give or take probably yeah, like eight to ten.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I paid on it for a whole year.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And it did nothing and literally did nothing, like I
swear every time I looked, it was like the same.
And that's when I realized like what interest is and
like how interest works. So I saved all of my
money and not all of it. I definitely could have
been better with it. I saved a lot of money
from last January to now, and I brought a check
(10:53):
and paid it off for like ten thousand dollars. I
just like don't want to have any debt moving out,
like at all. Like I didn't need to have a
student loan if I could just pay for it. And
like people were like, oh, pay on this for like
thirteen years.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It's like why would you want to do that? You're
paying so much more money and interest.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And I'm glad my dad like beat that into my
head and basically made me like pay for it because
I would have never done that, like never, and my
mom she was never like.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh, like let me give you advice, like do this
and do that.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Like no, she was like, oh uh whatever, So yeah,
I would say, just pay everything off, okay, less about
school and shit and what I wish I would have
done differently, and.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
More about me.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So I do hair, only hair in Pittsburgh. I'd love
to learn how to do. I mean, I'm licensed and everything.
I just don't do it all. I'd love to learn
how to do something else except for nails. I could
never I could never do nails.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Goodness. I drive an hour to work every day. I
bought a car. Yeah, I don't know. I mean I
do have goals and dreams.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I mean they're like what everyone else wants, like a
family property, like I like want to live on like
farmland like I do now, Like I just want to
be somewhere talk about quiet where I can do just
like whatever I want. I'd love to be a salon
owner one day and to like manage people.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
My ultimate dream.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I wouldn't even say it's a goal because I don't
even think I could like pursue it at this point.
I would love to model, like I would love to model.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That was my dream girl up, that was my dream
in high school.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's all I wanted to do, and I never took
the opportunity to do anything about it, and then I
started getting tattoos, and like, I know, times have change,
but I feel like, I don't know. I feel like
the model worlds like so different. It's so different. I
would model if I had the chance. If someone were
like to walk up to me on the street and
(13:22):
be like, oh I let me take you here, I'd
be like, Okay, I'm coming, Like, let me text my
dad real quick, like let me tell him I'm not
going to be home, because I would one thousand.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Percent go model. But yeah, that's like not a goal.
That's definitely like a dream.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Things I absolutely love is just being a girl to
be to be completely honest with.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
You, I love my jewelry, like I love getting ready.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I just like love having like a girl room and
a girl vibe, and like girl clothes and like tato
two and like my piercings, and I just like love.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I knows issochi.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I just love the life of a girl like and
obviously I don't know anything else, but like, I just
like loving a girl. I love getting filler. I got
my boobs done recently. I just love it's like a
girl's world. Honestly, and everyone else is living in it.
I definitely love self care. I do the most to
(14:29):
make sure I'm okay first, because I truly do think
that if you're not okay, and if you're not like
the best person that you possibly can, really can't do
much for others. And I love helping others. That's another
reason why I love doing hair. I just that like
fulfills me making other people feel good. Because for a
long time, like a long time, like years, I had
(14:54):
like a very chronic eating disorder. I actually recently talked
about on here. I didn't really go into like much detail,
but I was like ninety five pounds, like maybe ninety five,
and I'm like five six for reference, So I was
very skinny. It's very small. All through high school that
(15:18):
and then like smoking nicotine and just like knopping around
like the greatest people definitely didn't helped.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I feel like that's why I had it for so long.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Now, I mean, I feel like an eating disorder really
affects you.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
For honestly the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I am a lot healthier, like, I am a lot better,
but in some ways I still cope like how I
used to, which is not like healthy I do think
it just like lives with you. I think once you
have something traumatic that happens to you like that, it's
truly hard to, like one thousand million percent get away
from forever. But honestly, I'm like doing good. I've been
(16:05):
going to therapy recently, which is like another.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Thing that helps me feel good about myself.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I just want to be the best person I can
be at all times, whether it's like my personal life,
like for my friends, for myself, for my job.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I always just want to like keep growing.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I don't want to be like my mom and like
the generational trauma.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So the therapy is kind of new and I've never ever, ever, ever,
ever been this vulnerable online in my whole life. So whatever. Anyways,
my original.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Point was I really feel fulfilled showing up to work
every single day and helping people feel like the best
versions of themselves.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's just like a little pick me up.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Like I'm there to listen, I'm there to make you
feel good. I'm there to give you pretty hair, and
that makes me feel good. But if I ever went
into work with like a shitty attitude, obviously can't be
the best person for whoever's my chair and that's just
like not for them, because like you're paying for an experience,
so I need to be there like on my game. Essentially,
(17:12):
So I do take a lot of self care because
being a hairsylist is a really hard job and that
sounds so dumb, but like people trauma dump and people
constantly dumb. But I wouldn't give it for the world,
Like I honestly love doing it, which it has its stays.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I mean, everyone has their days, but typically, like I.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Love showing up to work and I love just making
people feel good. I love having that personal connection with people.
So yeah, so I definitely need to take care of
myself so I don't get burnout, essentially, is what I
was trying.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
To get to. Let's see. Okay, well that was all
my notes.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
So we are at the twenty five minute mark, and I.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Feel like I just talked about a whole lot of nothing.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
To be quite honest with you, I wish I had
something cool to talk about, just like anything. I just
like don't really have much going on, which can't complain.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Can't complain.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Brind's was so like inspirational and so helpful, and I
feel like I just told you.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
A whole lot of everything, but like a whole lot
of nothing at the same time. So we'll see if
it gets posted. We'll see if it's goods posted.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Hopefully next week we are back to normal and we
don't have any more little hiccups. It's just really hard
not doing it with brin. Yeah, I think that's all
I got. We'll see you guys next week. Well, yeah,
we'll go see you guys next week, or no, we
(18:59):
won't you you guys will see us in two weeks. Well, now,
you guys will see us when when this gets supposed
to do well, you guys will see us both a
week after that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So yeah, I hope everyone has a great day. Take
care of yourselves, do.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
What makes you happy, and everybody else comes after you.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That's that's what I'm going to leave you with today.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, take
it one day at a time, love yourself and just
love the others.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Around you, and just be kind.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I truly feel like we need more kindness in this world.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So see you next time. Drop it to devoting
