Speaker 1: The best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: It's listener Q and daytime.
Speaker 1: We're Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.
Speaker 1: What's up, y'all, It's time for the listener Q and A.
Speaker 2: Amy is joining me this weekend. Amy.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with some shout outs. Okay, Amy and Morgan,
Speaker 1: you're both amazing.
Speaker 2: Keep inspiring. Elda and Texas.
Speaker 3: Oh these are shout outs from listeners. Yeaheah.
Speaker 1: They I try and start with positivity because.
Speaker 3: They were shouting them now, but shout out yeah.
Speaker 2: Shout out yeah.
Speaker 1: Monica and Illinois said love the way both of.
Speaker 2: You inspire me.
Speaker 1: I'm older and want to feel younger. No questions, just
Speaker 1: love you both. That's from Emmy and Austin. Y'all keep
Speaker 1: me saying and have deep appreciation for your bravery and honesty.
Speaker 1: Believe that is from Keaton Wendy. I'm a huge fan
Speaker 1: of both of you and enjoy listening every day. She's
Speaker 1: in Georgia, so shout out. Shout out to all the
Speaker 1: shout outs. Favorite memory ever from the show Emily in Texas.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, probably the time that George Strait surprised me.
Speaker 3: That was fun.
Speaker 1: I don't think I was on the show yet at
Speaker 1: that point.
Speaker 3: Not I was here, so we had already moved to Nashville. Gosh.
Speaker 3: I have some really good memories from early on though,
Speaker 3: like the Austin days. Those are the good old days
Speaker 3: for sure. But I'll just stick with George Rae because
Speaker 3: he popped into my head. First. I thought I was
Speaker 3: doing a phone interview with him, and he was really
Speaker 3: in the hallway on his cell phone, walking in, and
Speaker 3: I didn't know he was gonna be here. And then
Speaker 3: I said, Hey, next time you're in town, you'll have
Speaker 3: to come by the station. He goes, hey, I might
Speaker 3: just do that or something like that, and then he
Speaker 3: walked to the door, and it was like, shut up,
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 1: And that's the last time he's been on the show.
Speaker 3: I mean, but yeah, he's not. This only time he
Speaker 3: was here in person.
Speaker 2: That's so crazy. Long ago?
Speaker 3: Was that probably two thousand and sixteen, twenty seventeen, something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like we need to try for George
Speaker 1: straight again to come in studio. Oh yeah, not that
Speaker 1: he needs it, and he probably won't.
Speaker 3: But it's not really his thing.
Speaker 1: Will you'll be doing any more live podcast Claire in Virginia.
Speaker 3: Yes, working on it, speaking out Claire in Virginia. One
Speaker 3: of the places we're looking at is the DC area. Oh,
Speaker 3: I love DC, so you know, it may be in Virginia,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, just DC area and Austin and Tampa.
Speaker 3: And just had a call about it this week. And
Speaker 3: there's a lot that goes into that. And I really
Speaker 3: wanted to do it the last year and a half,
Speaker 3: like I want to, but then it's like getting it done.
Speaker 3: So I think we're closer to getting it done and
Speaker 3: hopefully before the end of the year, like November December timeframe.
Speaker 1: Oh fun, and to be more than one or just
Speaker 1: a few what are you thinking thinking Austin, DC and Tampa.
Speaker 2: Okay, so a few of them always.
Speaker 3: And then if you know, it doesn't squeeze in by
Speaker 3: the end of the year. I'm not going to put
Speaker 3: that pressure on myself. But it's what I've wanted all
Speaker 3: year long, so I hope we can pull it off.
Speaker 3: But then for sure it's in the works and more
Speaker 3: more of an experience with the weekend, like maybe not
Speaker 3: just the live show in the evening, but some experiential
Speaker 3: type stuff during the day because some people travel and
Speaker 3: they're there for the whole weekend anyway, and so maybe
Speaker 3: doing like a yoga class together, so there might be
Speaker 3: smaller groups and opportunities and then a brunch here or
Speaker 3: certain activities that may take place throughout the day that
Speaker 3: you can be a part.
Speaker 2: Of if you want to be. Yeah, okay, I like TVD.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that makes you happy, Claire, and that's good news.
Speaker 1: What is something you're both looking forward to? Keaton from Montana.
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to the construction being done at
Speaker 3: my house. That's a good one, so that I can
Speaker 3: dust everything one final time and there's no more dust.
Speaker 3: And my cat is dusty, my dog is dusty, everything's dusty.
Speaker 3: So I'm ready for that. There's lots of dust, lots
Speaker 3: of dust, and I am thankful for it, and I'm
Speaker 3: grateful I could make some of these changes that are
Speaker 3: bringing me so much joy. Just foot wallpaper up in
Speaker 3: my bathroom.
Speaker 2: I saw your post. I mean great.
Speaker 3: My sister picked it out and I was a little
Speaker 3: hesitant when she first showed it to me, but now
Speaker 3: that it's up, it transformed the space and it's like
Speaker 3: you're in the forest and you don't like to forest. Babe,
Speaker 3: and they're these little naked women behind trees. They're hidden,
Speaker 3: they're not even obvious that they're there. They don't even
Speaker 3: really look naked. But my sister and I call them
Speaker 3: the little forest bathing queens, and it's a reminder to
Speaker 3: forest babe while I'm bathing.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm I'm excited about some of the fun choices
Speaker 3: that we've made, but I'm ready for it to be complete.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one, Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm I believe one of my best friends is coming
Speaker 1: to town in October for my birthday, and then my
Speaker 1: parents and I think my sister and brother in law
Speaker 1: are coming into town for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: So fun.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to some people being here and me
Speaker 1: not having to travel and going place anymore. My weddings
Speaker 1: are wrapping up at the end of September, and that's
Speaker 1: also very exciting.
Speaker 2: So you have a lot of those. I've had a
Speaker 2: lot this year.
Speaker 1: I've loved them, and I love love, but I'm definitely
Speaker 1: ready to take some breathers. Okay, how do you manage
Speaker 1: Speaking of something we talked about on part one, how
Speaker 1: do you manage your ADHD? Recently diagnosed in struggling Cassie
Speaker 1: in Nevada.
Speaker 3: Well, I've not managed it at all. I've done adderall
Speaker 3: wasn't my favorite over the course of my life. I
Speaker 3: was diagnosed in college, so I don't know why, I
Speaker 3: said shro so I believe in college, I took STRATERA,
Speaker 3: which is one option. I hated it. Then I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm not doing medication. And then I've done what's the
Speaker 3: other one? There's a I can't think of it. Maybe
Speaker 3: it'll come to me. I did that probably in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: My mouth was so dry for the few months that
Speaker 3: I did it that I was like, I'm not enjoying life,
Speaker 3: like I can barely speak like. I was so dry
Speaker 3: and miserable. And then got back on adderall in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three and now I'm off again. Okay, So I'm
Speaker 3: sure people can tell when I'm medicated or not. But
Speaker 3: it's a personal choice and you may have to play
Speaker 3: with different medications. And the beauty of it is you
Speaker 3: don't have to stay on it. You can do what's
Speaker 3: right for you. Work with a professional. There's brain gym
Speaker 3: exercises on YouTube if you just go to YouTube and
Speaker 3: google brain gym, like gym, like you're going to the gym,
Speaker 3: but for your brain, and those can be very helpful
Speaker 3: in helping with things and getting the right foods and sleep.
Speaker 3: There's all different ways holistically you can try to help
Speaker 3: your symptoms as well, and then just accepting that it's
Speaker 3: part of who you are.
Speaker 2: Maybe you don't need to do anything.
Speaker 3: I think that a lot of times, like oh I
Speaker 3: have ADHD. What if it's like, oh, what are my
Speaker 3: strengths in having this? And focus on those and then
Speaker 3: do what you can to help with your executive function,
Speaker 3: your time management, executing tasks, stuff like that, because you
Speaker 3: do need to function and be an adult, and sometimes
Speaker 3: it's really overwhelming and I feel that for sure. But
Speaker 3: there are tools out there, and that's the beauty of
Speaker 3: the internet now and socials. You just have to be
Speaker 3: careful because a lot of people put stuff up that
Speaker 3: are not certified. And I'm not sitting here claiming like
Speaker 3: I'm an expert. That's why I'm deferring you to seek help,
Speaker 3: seek counsel from experts and articles that you can trust,
Speaker 3: in research that you can trust, and accounts that you
Speaker 3: can trust, not just an influencer online saying oh I
Speaker 3: started eating, you know, bubble berries for my ADHD and
Speaker 3: it's this miracle thing and the bubblet really worked for
Speaker 3: the right or whatever these something I mean, I just
Speaker 3: made something up, but you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 3: I just feel like that can get really dangerous. So
Speaker 3: I wish you the best. I know it's not always easy,
Speaker 3: but there are strengths in.
Speaker 1: It, Yes there are. That's great advice. Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: What is your favorite characteristic about each of your kids?
Speaker 2: Casey in Missouri?
Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, I love that Stashira is such an independent thinker.
Speaker 3: She just is not heavily influenced by anybody else.
Speaker 2: Oh that's such a good kin.
Speaker 3: And then I love Stevenson's thoughtful heart. He is very
Speaker 3: considerate of other kids. He's very considerate of my feelings.
Speaker 3: I see it just in how he interacts with people,
Speaker 3: and it's really precious. And you know, Stashira's laughter, when
Speaker 3: she laughs, it's so great. I love it. She has
Speaker 3: a real silly side. It doesn't always come out, but
Speaker 3: when it does, it's great.
Speaker 1: Is that when she feels super super safe is kind
Speaker 1: of when that comes out?
Speaker 3: Or I guess. I don't know if it's just like
Speaker 3: seventeen year old teenage girl stuff, but you know, I
Speaker 3: think I experienced that.
Speaker 2: I still do.
Speaker 3: Your visit is a roller coaster at times, but you know,
Speaker 3: you have those days where you're just able to tap
Speaker 3: into that silly side and when she can get there,
Speaker 3: it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Oh those are cute.
Speaker 1: Have your parents visited you yet at your new home?
Speaker 1: Lauren and Virginia my parents? I assume she means in
Speaker 1: the birds.
Speaker 3: Oh okay. I was like, Oh, you know that's so funny,
Speaker 3: is it, Lauren? Yeah, okay. I was journaling this morning
Speaker 3: about how I need to get some bird seed and
Speaker 3: put it out because I don't feel like I have
Speaker 3: bird time like I did in my other house. Oh okay,
Speaker 3: and I know that they would come. I guess I have.
Speaker 3: I saw a cardinal early on, but I have not
Speaker 3: seen a blue jay. So that's a good point. That
Speaker 3: would be my dad. And then I thought, we'll feed
Speaker 3: them and they will come. So I need to get
Speaker 3: some bird seed.
Speaker 1: Instead of a few bird feeders I have my bird feeders,
Speaker 1: I have no bird seed.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's board piece.
Speaker 3: I need to put that out. And then my parents
Speaker 3: will maybe come, which I know some people would be like, well,
Speaker 3: that's stupid. Your parents should come no matter what.
Speaker 1: But hey, well you know, birds still gotta eat, right,
Speaker 1: still have to eat?
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Skincare recommendations basically like, share your top three favorite products
Speaker 1: right now, Abby and Florida, you guys have great skincare.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I'll just say I'm a huge fan of
Speaker 3: Biopel right now, and that's you can go to at
Speaker 3: Radio Amy. I don't know if I haven't linked in there,
Speaker 3: but gosh, I put my whole regimen up somewhere. It's
Speaker 3: on their website too, and I was a paying customer
Speaker 3: there that has now formed a partnership with them because
Speaker 3: I love them so much. And I was a big
Speaker 3: Zeo fan and for a long time still am. Because
Speaker 3: some people are like, oh, I started using Zo because
Speaker 3: you love Zeo, and I'm like, I still love Zeo,
Speaker 3: but I just started using the snail serm at Biopel
Speaker 3: and then got on their products and the price point
Speaker 3: is a little bit lower, so Zeo is great. But
Speaker 3: I thought, well, this is a better price point and
Speaker 3: my skin is responding well to it, but I didn't
Speaker 3: fully commit until I spent three months on the products
Speaker 3: to see if I would legit, because at first my
Speaker 3: skin was like, what are you doing? No, I don't
Speaker 3: like this, but you have to kind of go through
Speaker 3: the like change the change.
Speaker 1: Yes, and worst part about changing skins care honestly.
Speaker 3: And my skin adjusted and I feel very happy. But
Speaker 3: I feel like it's like biopel dot com and you
Speaker 3: can go like forward slash radio ame and my routine
Speaker 3: is up there. But I should probably link that in
Speaker 3: my Instagram. Maybe I have a little link somehow, but
Speaker 3: I know that I have different highlight buttons in my
Speaker 3: thing that kind of show it because they sell it
Speaker 3: on Amazon too, and sometimes Amazon has it on major
Speaker 3: and that's when I would recommend buying it there. If not,
Speaker 3: if you buy it from biopel, I just do the
Speaker 3: gentle cleanser if I do three products, gentle cleanser daily,
Speaker 3: tensage serum, and then the snail serum. But I don't
Speaker 3: do that daily. I do that like as a quarterly
Speaker 3: treatment thing. And those are the little ten vials which
Speaker 3: I gave you. Some of you still not used it.
Speaker 1: It's not I actually had as planned to and then
Speaker 1: you know, just had a little hiccup in my life
Speaker 1: and like I've stopped doing everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's totally fine. You don't have to do it,
Speaker 3: but I want to use time they talked. You're like,
Speaker 3: I don't know how or when to use them, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I'll show you.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever feel like this is products,
Speaker 1: but I get overwhelmed on the idea of trying a
Speaker 1: new product and then I just like, don't do it,
Speaker 1: because then I'm scared to do it.
Speaker 3: Oh. I was say the same way with this, especially
Speaker 3: because the vials are intimidating. I watched probably five YouTube
Speaker 3: videos when I first ordered mine, and then even ordering it,
Speaker 3: my skin person uh is the one carry She's the
Speaker 3: one that told me to order it, and it probably
Speaker 3: took me three or four weeks finally go on Amazon
Speaker 3: and get it because I was like, oh, this looks
Speaker 3: complicated and I don't know, and then I ordered it,
Speaker 3: and then I stared at it for a while, and
Speaker 3: then I watched YouTube videos because I didn't want to
Speaker 3: mess it up. And that's probably why I've made tutorials
Speaker 3: on my Instagram to show people because That's how I
Speaker 3: was freaking out when I first started. So I totally
Speaker 3: get the overwhelm, and that's why I was saying, if
Speaker 3: you hadn't done it yet, I can help you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do want you to come help me, mostly just
Speaker 1: to make me do it, because I'm just allowing my
Speaker 1: you know, my little overwhelming thing just take over.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, it's fine, save it for another day.
Speaker 3: But a code for that, Like on their website, they
Speaker 3: have a code. It's happy and it saves you, I
Speaker 3: think twenty twenty five percent or something like that on
Speaker 3: your entire order, not just like one particular item. But
Speaker 3: sometimes Amazon will really put it on major sales so
Speaker 3: just to be love as sale, love us. It never
Speaker 3: pay full price.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, girl, math Okay, last one, wait, do you have.
Speaker 3: Any I honestly, I, oh my gosh, the I Cream.
Speaker 3: I take it back, I would say the I Cream
Speaker 3: the Radiance I because it's tinted and kind of shimmery. Okay,
Speaker 3: but oh I say that so that you could think
Speaker 3: of yours.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, there's one I've been using now that I really love.
Speaker 1: I don't have it on right now, but there's a
Speaker 1: it's a Mac like tinted. It's a tinted SPF thing
Speaker 1: and it's really dewey and I love it. So it's
Speaker 1: like my bass that I've been using lately, and it
Speaker 1: just feels like amazing. I'll have to post it because again,
Speaker 1: I've been really bad about just doing most I've finally
Speaker 1: gotten back into a lot of my stuff, but there's
Speaker 1: still things that are lingering that I haven't jumped back into,
Speaker 1: and my like skincare, was one of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind I got pushed.
Speaker 3: To the side when you just said that. I realized
Speaker 3: I got a text from Walmart this morning that my
Speaker 3: smash Box Halo plumping Do Serum. Have you heard of this?
Speaker 3: And now I'm pulling up the text from Walmart.
Speaker 2: I ordered it.
Speaker 3: Walmart's like the only place that has it. My friend
Speaker 3: told me about it. But it's smash Box. It's the
Speaker 3: brand Halo Plumping like Do Serum, and it's tinted and
Speaker 3: your skin looks very dewy and glowy.
Speaker 1: I love a dewey look. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I just that's the Snail serum. We'll give you the
Speaker 3: dewey life just before, like when we go to Vegas
Speaker 3: next week, I'll put the snail serum under my makeup,
Speaker 3: and maybe I'll put the smash box on top and
Speaker 3: I'd be like dewey.
Speaker 2: Dewey, dooey dewey.
Speaker 1: Okay, this mac one is called strobe Dewey skin tint
Speaker 1: is what it's called.
Speaker 3: Okay from Mac, We'll keep you coasted on the smash box.
Speaker 3: I haven't tried to know, but we will get together for.
Speaker 2: The snails because I need to do it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Last one, we're just gonna answer this super quick. What
Speaker 1: is one recent life event that made you feel empowered?
Speaker 1: Lex from Oklahoma, Well, buy my house.
Speaker 2: Yeah there, it is.
Speaker 3: Like that's a little softball tossed to me, But I
Speaker 3: think that has to be the answer. By myself, all
Speaker 3: by myself, my first home, just me.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: And for me it was recently I did a huge
Speaker 1: deep clean of my whole house and I reset my
Speaker 1: life and I put together flower and I felt really
Speaker 1: good again.
Speaker 2: And that was a really small thing, but it felt great.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like that I had something big that
Speaker 3: probably doesn't happen very often, and you had something that
Speaker 3: can happen every weekend if someone wanted to.
Speaker 1: Yes, but both equally amazing, very proud of us.
Speaker 2: I love that.
