1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I'm Kaylie short, and this is too much

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: to say. Questions it out you. I was just giving

3
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: my boyfriend's Sam a rundown on this week's episode, and

4
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: I was like, well, it's probably gonna be kind of

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: short because I don't have that much to say this week,

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: which is very ironic. Um. But I'm kind of in

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: this place where I'm I don't know if relaxing is

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: the right word, but I'm kind of just taking things

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: slow and I'm enjoying the fact that I have that luxury.

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: There aren't um many luxuries in my life, but there's

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: that one. I went to l A, I wrote like

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: thirty songs, and the way that my publishing deal is

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: structured is I have a twelve song quota, but that's

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: twelve songs, so it usually ends up being like three

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: or four times twelve. Um. But I've almost met that

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: quota so far this year and we're only a month

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: and a happen so I feel, you know, good about it.

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: And because I hustled so hard for the beginning of

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: you know, January and February, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: come back to Nashville. I'm gonna you know, focus on

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: some side hustles and um, Like, I just listed a

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff on my deepop, which like is very fun.

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I have a huge passion for um like second hand clothing.

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: I always have. I've always loved it. I mean, honestly,

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: I was all I could afford growing up. But I

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: love the challenge of the hunt. I like having clothes

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: that nobody else has, and I really really like what

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: that does for the environment. I had this one friend

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: back in the day who like literally thought wearing not

30
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: even that long ago, I thought wearing second hand clothes

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: was like gross, and I was like, that's so that

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: is like the most fucking stupid ship I've ever heard

33
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: in my life. I love it. And I have so

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: many clothes that I cycled through really quickly because of

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: photo shoots and all that, um and just playing shows

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: and honestly just general like just changing my mind and stuff.

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: But it's like being able to resell those and then

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: also if I find something dope at a thur of

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: store that doesn't fit me but somebody would love it,

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: I can listen to me deepop and so that's been

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: really really fun. So I'm like focusing on stuff like that,

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: and then on the creative side of things, I'm you know,

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: working on making some more TikTok content and going through

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: old songs and writing by myself and just kind of

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: enjoying that time. UM. I have a right today with

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: my friend King's and my boyfriend Sam. I'm one of

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: our producer friends, which will be really fun. But I'm

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: taking things slow and it feels really good. But because

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: of that, you know, there's not a massive amount going on,

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: and I haven't formed any new strong opinions, so stay

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: tuned on that. But I think this is a really

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: important phase for me because of where I'm at with

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: my artist stuff. Like, I had so much fun in

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: l A writing for other people and helping other people

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: tell their stories and crafting these songs that aren't necessarily

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: so thing I would release but I love all the same,

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: and just exploring new sounds and um different things I

58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: worked on this project. It's like a project written from

59
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: serial killer perspective. That's for like, um, a TV show

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: that goes with it, and that was like really fun. Um.

61
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: I wrote a bunch for my friend Keli Roady, and

62
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: I love her and I love getting inside her head

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: and helping tell that story. And I wrote a couple

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: of songs for me that I'm really really excited about,

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: but I just want to take my time getting there,

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: and I had I got to take a lot of

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: time with Open Book, and then once everything clicked, I

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: wrote like almost the entire album in a one month period,

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and so I'm kind of just hoping that that happens

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: and that comes through. But I'm definitely an interesting place

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: in my career. Like it's not that I'm not doing

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: anything and playing shows and you know, but I'm I'm

73
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: just gonna enjoy the slowness. And it's a rainy the

74
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: rainy season in Nashville, and I'm just kind of like

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: enjoying being introspective and I'm reading a ton of books

76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: and writing in my journal and like actually having time

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: to be a person. So I'm going to take advantage

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: of that. I told my friend the other day that

79
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm working on an oil rig where

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: you like work for two weeks straight and then you're

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: home for two weeks straight. And I'm like, maybe I'll

82
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: just do that more often, like work seven and right

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: seven and do two days for two weeks and then

84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: go be a person for two weeks and that's very exciting.

85
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: What else has happened this week? Oh, I got a

86
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: new phone. It's the first time in quite some time

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: that I've had the newest iPhone that's out. It's a thirteen.

88
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be outdated in like six months, six weeks.

89
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't I'm probably sas um. But yeah, I'm just

90
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: kind of in a in an in between spot and

91
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: it's um, I'm not letting myself feel armed by it.

92
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: I'm embracing it. And I've also rediscovered my love for

93
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: drawing and art. I had a little bit of a

94
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: problem um for the best bit here with iPhone games,

95
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Like I think it's like I've read that it's like

96
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: a massive a d h D thing because you get

97
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: like little jolts of dopamine every single time, like it

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: makes a sound and you won something and whatever. And

99
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: so I'd play like these like candy Crash games and

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and like download games from the ads

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: inside other games, which is how you know it's bad.

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: And it started with cross words and then it escalated

103
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: to like Project Makeover, so like I was like, okay,

104
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: and Sam, I love Sam so much and he you

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: know calls down my bullshit, but he was like, hey,

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: you might be spending too much time on your phone

107
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: playing games, and I was like, fuck, you're totally right.

108
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, it's the beginning of

109
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: the year. I'm going to take a step to be

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: more productive and be a better person. I'm going to

111
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: delete every single thing that is a game or game

112
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: adjacent off of my phone. And so I did that,

113
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: and um, that was a big deal for me. But

114
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: so I still need things to keep myself busy. So

115
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: over this weekend I read three books, two books to

116
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: full books, like I started and finished two books this

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: good and now I'm on my third. And I've been

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: drawing a lot and doing a lot of art and

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: that's been really really fun. I went to the art

120
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: store about it, but fancy big role art supplies, and

121
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: it just it feels really good. So but it's hard

122
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: to let myself slow down because I feel guilty. But

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: because I did so much at the beginning of this year,

124
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm able to do this without feeling

125
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: as guilty. But it is definitely an adjustment for me

126
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: because I'm like, go, go, go go. But then when

127
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: I inevitably get exhausted and have to like be a

128
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: potato for a second. I like guilt myself to death,

129
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you're not doing enough because my job

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: is so speculative and like if you're not working, you're

131
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: not earning. And I get, um, you know, my advance

132
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: from my publishing deal, but what I'm getting is like,

133
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, it pays my rent every month, but it

134
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: also has to all be paid back in royalty. So

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I've explained that on my podcast

136
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, but so that's like at least I

137
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: know that's coming in, But everything else I have to

138
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: like go figure out how to hustle for. And that's um,

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you know. But now I'm like, I'm fun with my

140
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: d pop shop and I really love it, and it

141
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: is hilarious to me that Abercrombie stuff is like back

142
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: in style and things that I wore in middle school

143
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: are like really trending. Um. But so there's a lot

144
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: of that stuff on there. But I mean, honestly, I

145
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: started wearing some of these things that I was getting

146
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: at thirst stores and I was like, wait a second,

147
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: this is like actually really fun and like those Abercrombie

148
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: baby doll tops with the like lace cammies underneath. It's

149
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: actually a very flattering look like it aged well that

150
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: like cozy like sweater top thing and like, I don't know,

151
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm into it. But that's pretty much all I have

152
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: for you this week. I I'm working on some other

153
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: like bigger podcast ideas that they require a lot of

154
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: research and some guests and all that. So this is

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of a boring week. I'm really sorry, but this

156
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: is just um a little update and just want to

157
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: keep you guys posted on what I'm doing. And the

158
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: answer is not a whole lot, just journaling and being

159
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: being um, you know, getting to self indulge a little bit.

160
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: I think it's an important part of the creative process,

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: is like, you know, being introspective and figuring out what

162
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: the funk I want to say because it was so

163
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: clear to me on open Book and I got here

164
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: by accident. Was kind of a different type of writing.

165
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: But I really want to get back to that cerebral,

166
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: um introspective, emotional side of my writing and Open Book.

167
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: But I need to figure out what I want to

168
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: talk about because in a very wonderful way that I'm

169
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: very thankful for I didn't just have a bunch of

170
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: trauma dumped in my lap that I had to write about.

171
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: So now I have to like go figure out what

172
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: I want to say, and um, that's exactly what I'm doing.

173
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: I also have like left my house twice in the

174
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: past week, and that has been amazing. And I'm like

175
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: a on myself to be like a little bit of

176
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: an introvert and not feel guilty about that either, because

177
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: I was so social in California. And yeah, I'm excited

178
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: and like I'm being a little potato and I'm not

179
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: wearing that much makeup and my skin is thriving, and

180
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: just I'm enjoying being in my house with my cats

181
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: and my cozy clothes and my candles and my books.

182
