Speaker 1: We are taking the holidays off. Everybody needs a break.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but it's felt more intense
Speaker 1: this year. I don't know why. It feels in many
Speaker 1: ways that work is more crazy now because maybe it's
Speaker 1: like delayed coming off the pandemic. There's just more going on.
Speaker 1: But everyone I know is a chicken without a head,
Speaker 1: and I just want to breathe. I really want to breathe.
Speaker 1: I want to be present, I want to connect. I
Speaker 1: want to be present and create beautiful memories with my daughter,
Speaker 1: and I want to be in the air, in the mountains, snowboarding,
Speaker 1: feeling free, breathing. I hope I don't blow up like
Speaker 1: a tick like last year, because I don't do well
Speaker 1: in the altitude and it's progressively gotten worse, and it's
Speaker 1: my favorite place. So people may say to me, why
Speaker 1: the hell would you go there when you had a
Speaker 1: bad reaction last year, because I love it so much
Speaker 1: and my daughter loves it and I've had so many
Speaker 1: memories there. So I'm getting on this medication and hoping
Speaker 1: it will help. But I'm going on a romantic vacation
Speaker 1: with Paul. For part of the trip, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be home with my daughter in the Hampton's for part
Speaker 1: of the trip. It's really going to be a mixed
Speaker 1: holiday and I'm excited. I feel like I've worked really hard.
Speaker 1: It's been a really interesting year. My career has taken
Speaker 1: such an incredible turn. This podcast has given me so
Speaker 1: much this year, so I thank you so much. It's
Speaker 1: been really rewarding to be able to say things I
Speaker 1: want to say, have conversations I want to have, give
Speaker 1: people a vehicle and a platform to use their voice.
Speaker 1: Many people are not heard and for different reasons. There
Speaker 1: are many people that came on here that get to
Speaker 1: sort of speak in sound bites or just you know,
Speaker 1: talk in a quick social media video, but they haven't
Speaker 1: really had an in depth conversation about things they're going through.
Speaker 1: So I love that. I love talking to entrepreneurs that
Speaker 1: can help give you advice. I love laughing. I like
Speaker 1: using The Housewives as a vehicle for different life lessons
Speaker 1: and just talking about a crazy, ridiculous show to amusing people.
Speaker 1: Comedians I've had a fun time with. I've met so
Speaker 1: many people like I know people I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: didn't know Brian Austin Green, I didn't really know Jenny Garth.
Speaker 1: I didn't know Jenny McCarthy. Like so many people I
Speaker 1: talked to for a longer period, Joel McHale comes to mind.
Speaker 1: Like that I just really found fascinating. I was able
Speaker 1: to help a girl, Rachel, who went through a terrible time.
Speaker 1: I reconnected with Jill. I had a bunch of laughs
Speaker 1: with Nannie and did something quite scary for the both
Speaker 1: of us that ended up working out well. I was social.
Speaker 1: I had a big iHeart dinner, so this was really
Speaker 1: great for me. Also just meeting so many different people
Speaker 1: and being proud of this podcast. It's grown. It's been
Speaker 1: a smash, blowout success. We were on a top ten
Speaker 1: list recently for top ten podcasts that are flying, which
Speaker 1: is amazing, Like pot Ones to watch. That was amazing.
Speaker 1: There are millions of podcasts. We went to number one
Speaker 1: this year in all podcasts. I mean, it was really
Speaker 1: interesting and fun and I'm working really hard, but it's
Speaker 1: exactly what I like doing. I left Reality TV to
Speaker 1: do exactly what I wanted and provide content to the people,
Speaker 1: which is exactly what we've done. So that was a
Speaker 1: great success. Britton came on and we did a mom
Speaker 1: Embarrassment podcast and last night, Brynn was saying to me
Speaker 1: that I say to her, no matter what happens, no
Speaker 1: matter what happens, if someone falls on television, I tell
Speaker 1: Brince she has to be so careful about whatever that
Speaker 1: person fell from. If I stub my toe and start screaming,
Speaker 1: I tell Brynn it's so dangerous and she has to
Speaker 1: be careful. She was laughing like how embarrassed? Like nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing that happens in a day. Do I not end
Speaker 1: up saying back to Brynn, like you have to be
Speaker 1: careful when it wasn't even her that did it and
Speaker 1: she was crying. I was like, we have to do that.
Speaker 1: On the podcast the mom embarrassed and has been very serious.
Speaker 1: Uh with brinn embarrassment. My social media, I became the
Speaker 1: accidental influencer. It became a real thing. It became like
Speaker 1: a real business, and it was it's been so fun
Speaker 1: to be like the trusted beauty and food and coconut
Speaker 1: cake and mocktail reviewer. My mingle mocktails launch this year
Speaker 1: with me Forever Young launched. I mean, it was a crazy,
Speaker 1: amazing year. I made a turnaround and liking the way
Speaker 1: that the Kardashians turned their lives around. I think they
Speaker 1: went a little more quiet. They weren't so in your
Speaker 1: face all the time. I think they made some changes.
Speaker 1: I like single Kim, I made a turnaround when Megan
Speaker 1: and Harry went quiet because they weren't just trying to
Speaker 1: be in the media all the time. They like you know,
Speaker 1: went quiet, and so I went quiet because that was nice.
Speaker 1: The Reality Reckoning, you know, broke through and made changes
Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry. We made changes as a result
Speaker 1: of this podcast. We made changes in reality television. Indisputably,
Speaker 1: there have been changes that have been mandated by the
Speaker 1: Powers that be in the way that alcohol and substance
Speaker 1: abuse is treated on the show and alcohol consumption is monitored.
Speaker 1: Emotional well being and mental health has been something that
Speaker 1: has been focused on now in entertainment as a result
Speaker 1: of The Reality Reckoning. A lot went down. A lot
Speaker 1: went down.
