Speaker 1: You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Garth. Hi there,
Speaker 1: welcome to not an episode of I Choose Me. There's
Speaker 1: not going to be an episode this week because it's
Speaker 1: fourth of July. Happy fourth of July everyone. There won't
Speaker 1: be a new pod this week, just this little me
Speaker 1: talking to you part. We will be back next week
Speaker 1: for sure. But I'm very excited because this week, my
Speaker 1: daughter Luca, who lives in New York City, she's coming home.
Speaker 1: It's been too long. I haven't seen her in a
Speaker 1: couple of months, and it's her birthday, and we have
Speaker 1: a weekend full of celebrating her and just all being together.
Speaker 1: And I could not be happier about that. And then
Speaker 1: that is going to roll right into our Fourth of
Speaker 1: July festivities. I have no idea what that is going
Speaker 1: to be yet. I don't know what we're doing, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be fun, because, like I said, we're
Speaker 1: going to be together. Speaking of all being together, I
Speaker 1: want to share with you guys something really quickly the
Speaker 1: good that has come from this pod. This is just
Speaker 1: one of the things. Actually, there's been so many things,
Speaker 1: but specifically the episode with my ex Peter. Guys, we
Speaker 1: are officially friends now. Yeah, uh huh. He even unblocked
Speaker 1: me from Instagram. I've been blocked on his socials for
Speaker 1: so long that I stop caring years ago. But I'm
Speaker 1: unblocked now, you guys. That's that's big news. And not
Speaker 1: just that he let me borrow his cooler for a
Speaker 1: shoot that I had this past weekend.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmm.
Speaker 1: He let me use his guest room for some fittings
Speaker 1: that we had to do with some people.
Speaker 2: Okay, get this.
Speaker 1: He invited me to his son Jack's christening and this week,
Speaker 1: get ready for it. We are all gonna be going
Speaker 1: on a boat together with the whole family. Whether we
Speaker 1: push one another overboard, yeah.
Speaker 2: That's still tbd. But this is the power of the pod, people,
Speaker 2: potp power of the pod, not to be confused with
Speaker 2: Ppa d if you know, you know. So, Yeah, a
Speaker 2: very good week is ahead of me, indeed, and I
Speaker 2: hope that you choose to have a fulfilling, adventurous and
Speaker 2: fun week ahead too. I like to.
Speaker 1: Remember how incredibly lucky I am during this Fourth of
Speaker 1: July holiday, So lucky to have the choices.
Speaker 2: That we do have.
Speaker 1: I mean, man, that's fortune right there. I encourage you
Speaker 1: guys to take some beats over this next week and
Speaker 1: check in with yourself amidst it all, do some I
Speaker 1: choose me, And remember it doesn't have to be big moments.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be big important things every time
Speaker 1: you choose yourself. It can be little things. Like just
Speaker 1: last night, I had at least two I choose me moments.
Speaker 1: I said no thank you to an eight thirty pm
Speaker 1: work call. I knew that that could wait until today,
Speaker 1: which it did. And I also said no thank you
Speaker 1: to the dishes. I just went to bed with a
Speaker 1: sink full of dirty dishes. I told myself that they
Speaker 1: could wait, but that I needed to go get some
Speaker 1: rest after I'd had a really long day and I
Speaker 1: needed to get myself ready for another jam and day today.
Speaker 1: So guess what, the dirty dishes were fine with it.
Speaker 1: And the best thing that happened, someone either Dave or
Speaker 1: Lola saw them in the sink and chose to clean
Speaker 1: it up from me. I didn't even have to ask,
Speaker 1: So I think I might be onto something there. Just
Speaker 1: leave the dirty dishes and see who chooses to do them.
Speaker 1: So see there, it can just be the little choices
Speaker 1: that we make that prioritize ourselves and put ourselves first,
Speaker 1: and you never know what good will come from it.
Speaker 1: But when it happens, I want you to clock it.
Speaker 1: Say to yourself, Hey.
Speaker 2: Look at that.
Speaker 1: I chose myself Right there, I'm having an I Choose
Speaker 1: Me moment. You're gonna feel so good. And you know
Speaker 1: what else I want you to do. I want you
Speaker 1: to take a pic or put up a video, share
Speaker 1: your I Choose me moments so that it inspires other
Speaker 1: people to have them and it inspires me. And let's
Speaker 1: use the hashtag I Choose me so we can all
Speaker 1: share our progress and our triumphs with each other. I
Speaker 1: love seeing you happy. It makes me happy. Be sure
