1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm Katie Curic, and I'm back with a new season

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: of my podcast Next Question. You know, we've been through

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot over the past few years. I developed anxiety

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: and depression. I became a little more like agueraphobic. I

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: didn't even want to leave the house. I don't know

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: about you, but sometimes I feel like all I hear

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: is bad news. Is always something, climate changing, wars, wealth

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: of equality, anti semitism, racism, bad things happened fast forward.

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: So on our new season of Next Question, We're going

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: to try something a little different. We're talking about resilience,

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: courage in the face of murgery, Digging deeper. I feel

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: stronger I could still survive its finding strength with him.

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: We're talking about how to look on the bright side

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: when everything around you kind of sucks. We've been before.

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: I like to call myself a hopeful nihilist. Do the

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: best you kid. Hopefully we will calm down from all

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: of this. Think of the show as a toolkit to

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: help you navigate this crazy world we live in. We'll

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: be helping you find ways to make you better at

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: getting older, loving the body you have, talking to your teenager,

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: finding the real keys to happiness, handling getting sacked managing

22
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: technology twenty four to seven and figuring out our modern

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: media landscape. We're digging deep into something psychologists are now

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: calling post traumatic growth, or as some of you told us,

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: embracing the good and bad. Focus on those things that

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: are within your control, and you'll do better. I'll be

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: talking to some pretty amazing guests. Some you'll know, some

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: you may not, but all of them will have stories

29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: that will teach all of us to bounce back, regroup,

30
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: and live better. We all need to give ourselves a

31
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: little bit more grace and a little bit more forgiveness.

32
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: Are you go through an awful, terrible incident that you

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: never would have wished on yourself or anyone else, and

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: some good comes from that. Cynicism and optimism sort of

35
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: are dance partners in my brain. I'm going to give

36
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: optimism the lead, as I always do, because the alternative

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: isn't as pleasant. You're going to look back and regret

38
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: those times in your life that you didn't fully get

39
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: to live because you were so worried about what do

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: you look like? And by the way, what are you

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: all curious about? What do you want to ask me?

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: What is the biggest struggle that she has had as

43
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: a woman. I hope you're doing well. How she has

44
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: overcome a lot of her obstacles in life and remained

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: so adorable and full of joy. Ah shucks. I had

46

Speaker 1: the nicest listeners, you know. I'm really excited for us

47
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: to explore all these things together. That's all lean up
