Speaker 4: family too, Okay, so they cut her.
Speaker 2: She has a transister.
Speaker 4: Yeah, last year they all came over to his dad's house,
Speaker 4: but this year he's like, I think I want to
Speaker 4: do it at my house. So and he lives like
Speaker 4: right around the corner from his dad, So I don't
Speaker 4: know it. Who knows where we'll end up. I'm not
Speaker 4: too worried about it. I'm trying to get my sister
Speaker 4: and her family to come, and then it would just
Speaker 4: be this huge party that would be so fun.
Speaker 3: Oh that would be fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see if that actually happens. And then Christmas,
Speaker 4: I have no idea. I got to figure that out,
Speaker 4: just winging it right normally Colorado, but I don't know.
Speaker 4: I got to figure it out with my kids, like
Speaker 4: what they want to do, and then talk to Ben
Speaker 4: see because he'll like Christmas s takeris this is two weeks,
Speaker 4: Like he'll have them one week and I have them
Speaker 4: the other and normally we swap in Colorado at least
Speaker 4: we have the last couple of years, and this year,
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's for sure going to go,
Speaker 4: so then we kind of need to coordinate that.
Speaker 3: I have a lot more plans. And this year, will
Speaker 3: you potentially spend Christmas at all with your boyfriend and
Speaker 3: his family?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't have Since I have the kids for Thanksgiving,
Speaker 4: I don't have them for Christmas Day, so I don't
Speaker 4: know where I'm going to be. It depends if all
Speaker 4: stay in Nashville, maybe celebrate with them Christmas Day, and
Speaker 4: then fly to Colorado maybe the next.
Speaker 2: Day, okay, or so I don't know. I got a
Speaker 2: look at the calendar and figure it out. Yeah, uh yeah.
Speaker 3: We will also be here for Thanksgiving. My whole family's
Speaker 3: coming to town and then and my boyfriend's family. We
Speaker 3: got lots of people coming for Thanksgiving and then Christmas.
Speaker 3: The boyfriend will be coming with me to Kansas for
Speaker 3: the first TiO, so I'm very exciting. We'll spend Christmas
Speaker 3: in New Year's there probably. I'm not a huge New
Speaker 3: Year's person.
Speaker 2: So me neither.
Speaker 3: I don't really have a desire to be anywhere specific.
Speaker 3: As long as I'm with him and people that I like,
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that's the loose plan so far. But I do
Speaker 3: not have as many moving gears as you do, so
Speaker 3: that's a little.
Speaker 2: Bit more lots of different moving parts.
Speaker 3: Are you still doing Pimp and Joy shirts? Brittany in Ohio?
Speaker 4: There will be some for the Saint Jude radiothon. So
Speaker 4: if you become a partner in Hope, which that's normally
Speaker 4: in December, there's like a Camo shirt that says Pimp
Speaker 4: and Joy that people will get.
Speaker 3: Okay, so new one coming for the same Jude.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nice, Okay. How do you enjoy your kitchen after the remodel?
Speaker 3: That's from Campbell? Campbell camp. I could never say that name.
Speaker 3: How do you say that name?
Speaker 2: Campbell?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I always want to say Campbell.
Speaker 2: Like it because it's two words Campbell.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 4: I mean I didn't spend much time in the kitchen
Speaker 4: when I bought the house, so but yes, I'm very
Speaker 4: glad we red it. Like it's awesome. I feel like
Speaker 4: I definitely have My last three kitchens have had all
Speaker 4: white countertops and like a dark dark dark blue, you know,
Speaker 4: most black looking cabinet, and someone pointed that out to me.
Speaker 2: You did my last.
Speaker 4: Three houses, well, the my house, our house in East
Speaker 4: Nashville that I had with Ben before we moved. One
Speaker 4: other time it came that way, darker cabinets almost like
Speaker 4: I think the color I used is iron ore, So
Speaker 4: that was probably the one out there too, But the
Speaker 4: builder had done it so or the person that renovated
Speaker 4: the house, and so it was iron ore on the
Speaker 4: countertops and like a white courts or marble looking type thing.
Speaker 4: And then we moved in twenty twenty to a different
Speaker 4: house and it had like iron ore cabinets with and
Speaker 4: then I ended up putting in it didn't have Oh
Speaker 4: actually no, it didn't have that. I painted it.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I loved my last kitchen so.
Speaker 4: Much so that I sort of I switched that the
Speaker 4: cabinets and the countertops to that. And then when I
Speaker 4: moved after the divorce and I moved again, I did
Speaker 4: the same thing. So you like that kitchen vibe, yes,
Speaker 4: I guess I do. And I think that's a bad thing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it can be comforting for you and you spend a
Speaker 4: lot of time in a kitchen. Yeah, I love that
Speaker 4: color iron ore. By the way, is it more charcoal
Speaker 4: or is it.
Speaker 2: It can it depends on the light.
Speaker 4: It can look sort of charcoally, and then you in
Speaker 4: the light you're like, oh, okay, I see like hints
Speaker 4: of navy.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that color. And so do you find yourself?
Speaker 3: I feel like whenever I do something new at the house,
Speaker 3: like I mentioned on part one, how we got our
Speaker 3: the deck screened in, and now I spend all the
Speaker 3: kinds of time out there because we had just done it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you feel the perfect time of year.
Speaker 3: Yes, But do you feel like you spend more time
Speaker 3: in the areas that you remodeled? Like, do you spend
Speaker 3: more time in the kitchen because now it's all new
Speaker 3: and shine?
Speaker 4: Yeah. We tend to hang out more in the kitchen
Speaker 4: and the living room. This house, though, when we I
Speaker 4: did every part of the.
Speaker 2: House models all of it.
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean I remember you were doing a lot
Speaker 3: of things, but I thought it was more out of necessity.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize you were kind of re redoing some
Speaker 4: of it. Yeah, I mean it wasn't. But we did
Speaker 4: every bathroom and I put hardwoods in everywhere. Yeah, this
Speaker 4: is I had workers in my house for months and
Speaker 4: months and months like but all done now, all done now,
Speaker 4: thank goodness. It felt like it took a long time.
Speaker 4: Do you know. I just got used to coming from
Speaker 4: work and like there always being people there. They're like, hey,
Speaker 4: y'all want to eat like I was feeding then like yeah,
Speaker 4: kids got to know them. But yeah, no, and I
Speaker 4: mean some of it we delayed a little bit, like
Speaker 4: some final pieces, but yeah, pretty much it.
Speaker 3: Was so now you just like to hang out everywhere?
Speaker 4: Bathroom, Yes, my downstairs guest bath is my favorite.
Speaker 3: So do you go hang out?
Speaker 4: And there's some times yes, it's a little teeny tiny
Speaker 4: guest bathroom and it's my favorite room.
Speaker 3: See I love that. Can you please share your eyelash routine?
Speaker 3: This is from Drew and Louisiana.
Speaker 4: Oh I get eyelash extensions, so that doesn't help. But
Speaker 4: I do go to Amy at Lash. I don't know
Speaker 4: if it's called it's just called Lash, but it's in
Speaker 4: Nashville and Amy is the owner and I've gone to
Speaker 4: her for oh my gosh, maybe nine years now.
Speaker 3: It's funny every time you say that, I always think
Speaker 3: it's you and you just have a secret eyelash side business.
Speaker 2: No, it's not me. That would be hard to do
Speaker 2: it with my close bet. She is the best.
Speaker 4: I love her style because it's still it's not over
Speaker 4: the top. I've thought about taking them off quite kind
Speaker 4: of recently, but then I would miss my time with Amy. Obviously,
Speaker 4: after nine years, she's become my friend and I love
Speaker 4: our hour together. I feel like you could also hang
Speaker 4: out with her, and I know, I know, but we
Speaker 4: try to get together, like go on walks and stuff,
Speaker 4: and just like coordinating everybody's schedule, it's more difficult. So
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, and it's sort of part of my routine.
Speaker 4: But I have thought about it does make it easy,
Speaker 4: like especially as early as we get up, and that's
Speaker 4: one reason why it was a no brainer. I actually
Speaker 4: didn't want to get them because I had gotten them
Speaker 4: before in Austin and they were horrible whoever I went to,
Speaker 4: I mean, they were so bad. I was like plucking
Speaker 4: them out because I looked ridiculous. They were so long,
Speaker 4: and I remember my mom was still alive, yeah, because
Speaker 4: we were living in Austin, and I remember being at
Speaker 4: my mom's house in her bathroom, in her magnifying me
Speaker 4: or like plucking out my lashes. I was like, well,
Speaker 4: this can't be good. And then I got those removed
Speaker 4: and I said never again. And then we moved to
Speaker 4: Nashville and I wasn't doing them. And then my hair
Speaker 4: person said, hey, if you ever want to get your
Speaker 4: lashes done, you should go see Amy. She told me
Speaker 4: to tell you, like, hey, if you wanted to come in,
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a paying customer or whatever, but just
Speaker 4: you know, she's hard to get into. And now I
Speaker 4: think her books are a little bit more open. But
Speaker 4: she had a wait list or whatever. She's like, ch'll
Speaker 4: she has an opening, like if you want to go,
Speaker 4: And I thought, no, I'm really not into it. And
Speaker 4: I a few more months went by and then we
Speaker 4: talked about it again and she was able to get
Speaker 4: me in and I decided to go, and I've.
Speaker 2: Been going ever since.
Speaker 4: So don't let one bad experience on something completely rule out.
Speaker 4: You know, it could be lashes, could be something else,
Speaker 4: but like with a massages, yes, Abby, and I went
Speaker 4: and got a good massage. And now now she knows
Speaker 4: there are quality messuses out there.
Speaker 2: And not just creeping in. They've grown, Yes, yes, very much.
Speaker 3: So Okay, We're gonna take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 3: be right back. How does bean pre menopausal affect you mentally, emotionally, physically.
Speaker 3: This is from Liza.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's see. I get.
Speaker 4: Emotional and irrational at times. My sleep is disrupted at times.
Speaker 4: I have some night sweats, but not all the time.
Speaker 4: You never know, like really when and it's going to
Speaker 4: strike or what. So I purposefully started sleeping with my
Speaker 4: thermostat lower than ever before, just to maybe try to
Speaker 4: get ahead of it so I don't wake up sweaty.
Speaker 4: My cycles are very irregular, like all over the place.
Speaker 4: Like I'll be like, didn't I just have my period?
Speaker 4: And then it just like doesn't make sense. Some of
Speaker 4: my cramps have been completely out of control, painful that
Speaker 4: I have not some types of pain that I haven't
Speaker 4: experienced since college for some reason, like who knows why
Speaker 4: there was relief for you know, over a decade or so.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm trying to think of is it any
Speaker 4: better now or you still feel like you're going through it?
Speaker 4: I mean, I have some supplements that I take that
Speaker 4: I think help, but then I'll you know, do it
Speaker 4: for several months and then I'll run out and I'll
Speaker 4: be like, oh, shoot, I need to refill my and
Speaker 4: then I don't, and so I don't know. And some
Speaker 4: of it, like I have what's called golfer's elbow. My
Speaker 4: elbow joint like really really hurts. I thought it was
Speaker 4: tennis elbow, but then I googled where the pain was specifically,
Speaker 4: and apparently it's called golfer's elbow. And a lot of
Speaker 4: people attribute that sort of stuff to perimenopause. But who knows.
Speaker 2: You don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's just so many factors and hard to tell,
Speaker 3: and it isn't. The timeline also wonky, so you never
Speaker 3: really know when it's first starts versus when it really
Speaker 3: is ending.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I will get into tracking things and then
Speaker 4: I get bored with it. That's probably my ADHD and
Speaker 4: ADHD with perimenopause a lot I got combo.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: So you know, I sometimes have to if I want
Speaker 4: to just like crawl into my bed, I have to
Speaker 4: give myself that because I'm not used to that during
Speaker 4: the day of wanting to just lay there.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 4: But I try to set a timer or give myself
Speaker 4: that time and then get up and then get moving again.
Speaker 4: And I'm thankful for I guess the times that I
Speaker 4: have been able to do that, But on days, some
Speaker 4: days you don't have a choice and you're like powering through,
Speaker 4: but then eventually catch up to you and then the
Speaker 4: next thing, you're just like crying and you're like, okay.
Speaker 2: Cool, it's horrible.
Speaker 4: Well it is, but you with everybody talking about it
Speaker 4: so much, especially online, And that's a lot of my content.
Speaker 4: A lot of my algorithm is ADHD and perimenopause stuff.
Speaker 4: You feel less alone. You're like, okay, I'm not crazy.
Speaker 4: And I imagine some women in previous from previous decades,
Speaker 4: they felt probably crazy. And awareness is everything, information is everything.
Speaker 4: So I've got to go get some new blood work
Speaker 4: done for sure, because I want to see where my
Speaker 4: hormones are at that for a while I was taking
Speaker 4: some testosterone and then I quit, so I need to
Speaker 4: see if I need to get back on that. Just
Speaker 4: so many things that are up and down, so many things,
Speaker 4: so many things, and just taking the time to take
Speaker 4: care of yourself.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, and speaking of taking care of yourself, Elizabeth
Speaker 3: wanted to know, I think out of curiosity, do you
Speaker 3: fully recover from an eating disorder or is it like
Speaker 3: an addiction?
Speaker 2: You deal with for life.
Speaker 4: I think it's something that you deal with for life,
Speaker 4: but in different ways.
Speaker 2: It's not as loud.
Speaker 4: I guess at times, I don't know. I'm not an
Speaker 4: alcoholic or an addict, like, so I don't know what
Speaker 4: their experience is like wanting to drink every day. I
Speaker 4: know that coming out of it, I guess it's twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five, so almost twenty twenty six, twenty six, it'll
Speaker 4: be six years that I've been in recovery. And oh
Speaker 4: it's more peaceful, that is for sure. But I know
Speaker 4: that first year twenty twenty, like that was a difficult year.
Speaker 4: But it's sort of similar to an alcoholic maybe with
Speaker 4: their chip. And this is how I felt the first
Speaker 4: time around when I went like twelve years in, I
Speaker 4: call it a sort of recovery. At least I wasn't purging,
Speaker 4: but I had other disorder, Like I didn't know orthorexia
Speaker 4: was a thing, Like I was very hyperfixated on every
Speaker 4: single ingredient and I didn't realize that how that was
Speaker 4: ruling my life. I thought that was just being quote
Speaker 4: unquote healthy, but it was disruptive, like it was hard
Speaker 4: to go out to you with me, like I was
Speaker 4: zero fun but as long as I wasn't purging, but
Speaker 4: for that twelve years, but when my mom died, it
Speaker 4: immediately came back and there was really nothing I could
Speaker 4: do about it. It was a trauma response, like that's
Speaker 4: how my body was going to cope and it was
Speaker 4: going to control that situation. And it was like the
Speaker 4: day after she died, I ate and then I purged,
Speaker 4: and then cycle began and that lasted from twenty fourteen
Speaker 4: to twenty nineteen. So then it was almost like twenty
Speaker 4: twenty was like the new year. I mean in COVID.
Speaker 4: It had nothing to do with covidorn thing because COVID
Speaker 4: hadn't happened yet. It was a specific book that I
Speaker 4: read because I was tired and exhausted of it.
Speaker 2: I was so over it.
Speaker 4: But it was called Brain Overbinch, and I read that
Speaker 4: book at the beginning of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Is that when did we go on family feud?
Speaker 3: I want to say it was right around that time,
Speaker 3: because I feel like COVID hit twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: But it was like March beginning in April, and I
Speaker 4: feel like we went to La to film that in
Speaker 4: like January February and I remember I had that book
Speaker 4: on our flight on my flight. I don't know if
Speaker 4: we all flew together on my flight to LA and
Speaker 4: it it changed everything, like and there was these courses
Speaker 4: you could sign up for, like I was all in.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, she has these courses
Speaker 2: you could like listen to. She had these.
Speaker 4: I downloaded them on the flight home from LA. I
Speaker 4: remember listening to the recordings and like highlighting things in
Speaker 4: the book. That book changed everything for me. And then
Speaker 4: it was a slow whele, like you know, I started
Speaker 4: doing like my Fitness Pal or whatever. And then I realized, like, okay,
Speaker 4: I need to surrender. I need to let that go
Speaker 4: to Some people can do that stuff and enter their
Speaker 4: macros and it's fine, but when you're literally I could
Speaker 4: probably start doing macros right now and I would be okay.
Speaker 4: Because I'm six years in, I know I could do
Speaker 4: it with health and mind not control, just literally like
Speaker 4: knowing what am I putting in my body because at
Speaker 4: forty four, being peri menopausital, like I need to be
Speaker 4: focusing on protein. I need to be worried about when
Speaker 4: putting up my body like I have. I'm having a
Speaker 4: very difficult time retaining muscle, and I'm trying to figure
Speaker 4: that out. But some of that is I've got to
Speaker 4: be strategic and I've got to write it down so
Speaker 4: it's not out of a control, which my fitness power
Speaker 4: in the beginning of my covery was control. So my
Speaker 4: friend Lisa, who's a registered dietitian that is also in recovery,
Speaker 4: and she has a program called fork the Noise, because
Speaker 4: that is all it is. It's like noise in your head,
Speaker 4: and she's like stick a fork in it, and she
Speaker 4: highly encouraged me to ditch. She's like, you've got to stop,
Speaker 4: because I mean, I can go to bed at night
Speaker 4: till I entered in all my stuff and then you know,
Speaker 4: if I ate like a fourth of an egg, like
Speaker 4: I was entering in a fourth of an egg, like okay,
Speaker 4: who cares? But I wanted every detail even though I
Speaker 4: wasn't purging right, So then I had to That was
Speaker 4: my final I remember deleting my Fitness of Wealth my
Speaker 4: phone was like my final surrender, and that was probably
Speaker 4: around March something March April that I deleted that and
Speaker 4: then the so the recovery, it's an ongoing process. So
Speaker 4: it's in stages. I think with eating sorts it's different.
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, well you know you quit the alcohol.
Speaker 4: You quit the alcohol. But I don't know if for
Speaker 4: some people might be in stages where they're like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I quit the hard liquor, and then now maybe I've
Speaker 4: quit the beer, and then maybe now I've quit going
Speaker 4: to bars, and then now I've quit you know, because
Speaker 4: when you put yourself in certain situations, like there was
Speaker 4: some stuff where I'm like, well, this is me still
Speaker 4: trying to.
Speaker 2: When I would dabble.
Speaker 3: That's where it could be related, is that, you know, alcoholics,
Speaker 3: we pay attention to those that they always have to
Speaker 3: actively make a choice to not do that. It's kind
Speaker 3: of like with yours, you're always actively making a choice
Speaker 3: to make sure you're not doing anything that would impact
Speaker 3: you long term.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh oh.
Speaker 4: And I think what I was going to say about
Speaker 4: the alcoholics is the chips, Like they have a chip,
Speaker 4: and for before my mom died, I had a chip
Speaker 4: that I'd had a long time, and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, like boom, my chip was gone. And then
Speaker 4: now I kind of feel like I have my chip back,
Speaker 4: and I don't I don't want to lose my chip. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I do feel like it's something that's always there though,
Speaker 4: so I can only speak to my experience.
Speaker 2: It's just not as loud.
Speaker 4: So similar to back to that fork the noise, it's
Speaker 4: almost like, Okay, I stuck a fork in it, and
Speaker 4: I feel really good about that, but I also have
Speaker 4: to be on guard. But like that fork could come
Speaker 4: loose at any moment. And you know, when my dad
Speaker 4: passed away, I was a little bit nervous that it
Speaker 4: might because that's how my body responded with my mom.
Speaker 4: And he died in twenty twenty one and it didn't
Speaker 4: come back. Now, I did have like when I was
Speaker 4: going through a divorce and there was like a lot
Speaker 4: of stuff going my dad died, there's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: It didn't return. But I got on an antidepressant that
Speaker 4: caused to weight loss. I I was on adderall. I
Speaker 4: wasn't hungry anyways, and I definitely got unhealthy, but it
Speaker 4: wasn't there was a difference. It wasn't a neating disorder.
Speaker 4: It was a lack of care for I was surviving. Yeah,
Speaker 4: were and I had our stimulants in my body that
Speaker 4: also were speeding up my metabolism and you know, I
Speaker 4: would still I I know where I was with it,
Speaker 4: so it was fine. But I look back at pictures
Speaker 4: and I can see now I'm like, oh gosh, you
Speaker 4: know yeah, but there was people concerned in my life,
Speaker 4: like my sister, my ex husband, Like they came to me.
Speaker 4: I mean, I had a colonoscopy at one point. Well,
Speaker 4: you know, that cleans out your entire system. But I
Speaker 4: was already had lost that a way at that point,
Speaker 4: and then you clean out your entire system, and then
Speaker 4: after that, I just wasn't hungry for a few days.
Speaker 4: I mean, and that sort of stuff will catch up
Speaker 4: to you pretty quickly. And they came to me and
Speaker 4: I was like, guys, I promise, I'm fine, but like
Speaker 4: I'll like Ben, Ben and I were literally in the
Speaker 4: process of getting divorced, and he's like, what do you want.
Speaker 4: I'm bringing you food. I'm like, okay, bring me a burger.
Speaker 4: I'll eat the burger in front of you. And we
Speaker 4: FaceTime to my sister and i'man there with them and
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there and I'm like, I'm eating the burger,
Speaker 4: you know, watch me, and then I'm going to lay
Speaker 4: here I'm not going to go do anything.
Speaker 2: So I was probably getting a little defensive.
Speaker 4: At the time, but I know they were coming with love.
Speaker 4: But yes, I had a lot going on and my
Speaker 4: body was responding that way in stress and the I mean, AfterAll,
Speaker 4: that's no joke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure you had a factors that were
Speaker 3: contributing to that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So that's a really long answer your question. Everybody is
Speaker 4: so so, so so different, but I do think it's
Speaker 4: something that can pop up and you just need to
Speaker 4: be aware and then hopefully you have like we talked about,
Speaker 4: like a good foundation, good support around you, and then
Speaker 4: you should be good. Like I wasn't as susceptible maybe
Speaker 4: or maybe now I wouldn't be because my family.
Speaker 3: You're killing a lot of those internal things that are
Speaker 3: that love to come out when stuff happens.
Speaker 2: And then I have to watch it around. Like my
Speaker 2: boyfriend eats.
Speaker 4: You know, his wife died of colon cancer, so he's
Speaker 4: very diet can play a major role in that, and
Speaker 4: he did a lot of research and he's aware of
Speaker 4: that so with his kids and himself, like he's very
Speaker 4: like it's not like other stuff is never allowed. But
Speaker 4: as long as let's include these other types of food
Speaker 4: that are going to help you help your That's something
Speaker 4: I won't get into all the details of what he
Speaker 4: does because I don't I'm not the one that did
Speaker 4: the research. But they do live a certain way with food,
Speaker 4: and sometimes I have to watch it, like around him,
Speaker 4: because like I don't want to get it, you know,
Speaker 4: get sucked back into a certain way. But I do

Speaker 4: y'all aren't. And he's like, no, don't worry about us
Speaker 4: like you do you And I'm like, okay, thank you,
