Speaker 1: The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one.
Speaker 1: Behind a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2: What's Up, everybody? Welcome to the weekend. Amy is joining me.
Speaker 2: What's up? Aby? Hi Morgan, Thanks for coming on. We
Speaker 2: got some life to update everybody on. Things are crazy
Speaker 2: in my world. Amy, what's going on with you right now?
Speaker 3: Well, nothing's too crazy like yours? Which are you going
Speaker 3: to get into it? I?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we sure, Okay, I want to hear about your
Speaker 2: life first. It'll help me calm down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, forget about yours for a second.
Speaker 3: Well, before we started recording, we were talking about clothes
Speaker 3: and getting ready, and I just feel like sometimes I
Speaker 3: spend way too much time just standing in my closet
Speaker 3: thinking what am I going to wear? And there are
Speaker 3: certain outfits that I really love, and I'm like, I'm
Speaker 3: just going to start rewaring these outfits as much as possible.
Speaker 3: I put on exactly what I wore last week, and
Speaker 3: I'm wearing it again this week. And not that that's
Speaker 3: a big deal. Who cares. You can wear it the
Speaker 3: next day if you want to.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, what if.
Speaker 3: I had my Monday outfit my Tuesday outfit? Am? I
Speaker 3: went like Monday through Friday. I just had my outfits
Speaker 3: and like, that's my like for a month.
Speaker 1: I do that and then.
Speaker 3: Switch it up because I I'm someone that likes to
Speaker 3: sometimes how i'm feeling, pick an outfit or be a
Speaker 3: little more creative. I'm not super into fashion, but I
Speaker 3: like to try new things, and so I'm not like
Speaker 3: going Steve jobs here where it's a black turtleneck and
Speaker 3: jeans every day. But I as I get older, I
Speaker 3: think I'm gravitating more towards like why am I complicating
Speaker 3: things and continuing to buy more things? When if I've
Speaker 3: got something cute like and I like it, can I
Speaker 3: make that my Wednesday outfit.
Speaker 4: It's find of funny when you think about kids going
Speaker 4: to school and they sometimes they have uniforms, Like why
Speaker 4: can't adults have uniforms?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What if we had uniforms at iHeart or the Bobby
Speaker 3: Bone Show and we had to show up. I mean,
Speaker 3: Bobby would probably be like, all right, everybody's wearing a
Speaker 3: card again.
Speaker 2: Whatever it vibe it is for that few months and
Speaker 2: then we shift it. Those would be our uniform changes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm down for that. My kids have done both
Speaker 3: types of school's uniform and then not. And I think
Speaker 3: when they have the uniform they did not like it,
Speaker 3: and then when they switched, they're kind of like a
Speaker 3: little I missed the uniform a little bit because they
Speaker 3: don't have to think it, just put it on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so much of I feel like your daily
Speaker 4: morning routine is what am I gonna wear? What's gonna
Speaker 4: make me feel good today? I'm such a feel good dresser.
Speaker 4: How am I feeling in that moment? And how am
Speaker 4: I gonna be either the most comfortable or do I
Speaker 4: need to feel confident that morning? Or am I doing
Speaker 4: like need more comfy and I need more cozy because
Speaker 4: I'm going through it, Or am I like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: today's the day I'm going to pull off that new outfit.
Speaker 4: Mine's all about my feelings. My clothes very much reflect
Speaker 4: how I'm feeling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I can do the same.
Speaker 3: Dopamine dressing is a thing where if you need that
Speaker 3: hit of dopamine, you can put on something that you
Speaker 3: know feels good and you look good and gives you
Speaker 3: that umph.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that i'd be a thing, and I can.
Speaker 1: I think I can.
Speaker 3: Also if I don't know that depressed dressing is a thing,
Speaker 3: but not that I'm totally depressed if I wear it.
Speaker 3: But sometimes yeah, it's reflective of your mood and you're like,
Speaker 3: I don't care about feeling good. I just want to
Speaker 3: be comfy and cozy. But sometimes when I do that,
Speaker 3: I will get to work and I do not feel
Speaker 3: it's confident.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is that side of that.
Speaker 3: Have you ever gotten to work and you look in
Speaker 3: the mirror and you're like, what was it? What was
Speaker 3: I thinking with that huge mirror in the bathroom? And
Speaker 3: I'll go to the bathroom and I'll walk out and
Speaker 3: I'll be.
Speaker 1: Like, what what, What in the world.
Speaker 3: Is this outfit? And I don't know what I was thinking,
Speaker 3: Like it's something I'd never put together. It doesn't even work.
Speaker 3: And then I see myself in full length and I'm like, Okay, cool,
Speaker 3: I guess I should have checked this album before I
Speaker 3: left the house.
Speaker 1: But who Also.
Speaker 4: Because are we used to what are we look like
Speaker 4: in our mirrors at home?
Speaker 2: And then you go to a new mirror. I wonder
Speaker 2: if there's something to that.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I just think sometimes I don't look in the mirror
Speaker 3: before I leave my house.
Speaker 1: So that's that's uh.
Speaker 3: Top of mind at the moment is my am I
Speaker 3: I know it's people are listening to this on the weekend,
Speaker 3: but we're recording it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it's like the top of mine.
Speaker 3: So don't be surprised if next Wednesday you see me
Speaker 3: in these white pants, the white top and my tan sandals.
Speaker 3: Although we are getting into fall, and maybe I could
Speaker 3: wear this exact outfit, but I just throw on boots.
Speaker 4: Oh you definitely, could you just swap the footwear. I'm
Speaker 4: I wear so much fall in winter clothing in the
Speaker 4: studio because I get so cold all the time, Like,
Speaker 4: and that's where more of my comfort comes in. Because
Speaker 4: we're talking about this the other day, you've been wearing
Speaker 4: tank tops lightly and I every time I see you
Speaker 4: coming with the tank I'm like, how is she doing that?
Speaker 4: I want to be wrapped in a blanket right now,
Speaker 4: and I have to be wearing like a full turtleneck
Speaker 4: sweater to be comfortable in that room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's freezing cold in there. Although maybe I'm appreciate
Speaker 3: it lately because my air is broken at my house.
Speaker 2: Oh that's not fun.
Speaker 3: So I think I got to look at my count
Speaker 3: I think they're coming today to figure it out.
Speaker 2: Is it the acs on my head?
Speaker 1: It's just not pumping like it should.
Speaker 3: So I keep it at seventy seventy one, and so
Speaker 3: that's what it's set at. But inside my house, you know,
Speaker 3: the the box where its are hard, you know, the
Speaker 3: little un Yeah what you don't have the word either anywhere,
Speaker 3: neither one of us have it, but it says, you know,
Speaker 3: I have it set to seventy seventy one, and it
Speaker 3: says seventy five inside.
Speaker 4: So and it's you're not really lucky that's having right
Speaker 4: now instead of when we had our heat wave or
Speaker 4: have you been dealing with this since the heat wave?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: It just kicked in about a week ago. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess to your point, it came at a good time.
Speaker 3: And also it's a thermostat.
Speaker 2: I don't know, we just came up with it.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that took me a minute.
Speaker 4: I apologized early or getting into our groop this moment
Speaker 4: in time, you're hearing us like do our You know
Speaker 4: when people do the warm up before.
Speaker 1: They sing, How now? How now?
Speaker 3: Brown Cow, Unique, New York. Yeah, we're recording this before
Speaker 3: the Bobby Bone show.
Speaker 2: So and the kids say, go back to school.
Speaker 1: They're already back. Yeah, we are in a groove. We are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I can't believe it.
Speaker 4: And the uh, it feels like summer just came and went.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I feel like summer existed.
Speaker 1: I know we're about to just really be all in
Speaker 1: because cross country season is starting. Stevenson's already started his practice.
Speaker 3: That means we're going to have cross country races coming
Speaker 3: up Friday night football games. Then my kids are like,
Speaker 3: Sisure is not a Friday night sport girl. Like she's
Speaker 3: not the cheerleader or at one point she helped out
Speaker 3: with the football team with the the water girl athletic trainer.
Speaker 3: She was just an assistant to that, whatever you need help, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: if you need to go get water, if you go
Speaker 3: grab this a spandage, she would help with that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And Stevenson doesn't play football, but they like to go
Speaker 3: to the games.
Speaker 4: So Friday night lights and will you have a bunch
Speaker 4: of games too for your boyfriend's kids.
Speaker 3: This is the first year they're not playing football, so
Speaker 3: apparently this is the first fall where it's a little
Speaker 3: bit more chill for them. And I'm thinking, thank you,
Speaker 3: because it is already very busy. Between they do have
Speaker 3: some club basketball and then they have soccer, so I
Speaker 3: don't know exactly when soccer season really picks up, but
Speaker 3: they have lots of practices right now. But again I
Speaker 3: don't know sometimes if they're practicing for school or club
Speaker 3: stuff because I never played club things when I was
Speaker 3: a kid, but they're very active so well.
Speaker 4: When I played club when I was a kid, I
Speaker 4: felt like club existed year round, depending on if it
Speaker 4: was an inside support or outside. But club definitely you
Speaker 4: have longer timeframes then and more travel.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know they do enjoy going to games as well,
Speaker 3: so probably a lot of Friday night lights. There was
Speaker 3: a Friday coming up though, and I was like, shoot,
Speaker 3: why did we put this on a Friday night?
Speaker 1: People might be going to football games.
Speaker 3: But Ben and I, speaking of the kids, were working
Speaker 3: on something together because we thought it would be a
Speaker 3: good example for the kids of us coming together for
Speaker 3: others and showing that mom and dad can still work
Speaker 3: together and as a family, we're still going to give
Speaker 3: back and serve and something we're involved in at our
Speaker 3: church's Isaiah one to seventeen House, which is a foster
Speaker 3: house for kids that like an interim house, so if
Speaker 3: they are looking for placement. Sometimes kids have literally spent
Speaker 3: the night on the office floor of the caseworker at
Speaker 3: the CPS office, and that's not a place for a kid,
Speaker 3: especially in such a unstable time in their life. So
Speaker 3: there's a house that was built out in East Nashville
Speaker 3: in Isaiah one seventeen. House is a national organization, but
Speaker 3: this is the Nashville branch, and so it's a house
Speaker 3: where they can go and have have a home that
Speaker 3: with a room and they get a bag, get to
Speaker 3: fill up and there's a room full of items they
Speaker 3: can go around and collect and put in their bag
Speaker 3: so that when they show up at their foster house,
Speaker 3: you know Eddie'll show you too with the work he's
Speaker 3: done or share with people too. Sometimes they show up
Speaker 3: with just a plastic bag or nothing, and so this
Speaker 3: gives them a legit bag with some of their own
Speaker 3: things to start out with, and a good bed to
Speaker 3: sleep in at night, and you know caregivers that are
Speaker 3: there that can nurture them and anyway, there's funding that
Speaker 3: needs to go into that. So Ben and I are
Speaker 3: hosting a tee it Up for the Kids event at
Speaker 3: Top golf on Friday, September twenty sixth, so I'm sure
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a football game that night, but just inviting.
Speaker 1: People in Nashville.
Speaker 3: If you happen to live here, that could be something
Speaker 3: where you could give back. And well, I'll put the
Speaker 3: link in the show notes. Kat and I are going
Speaker 3: to be there at a bay with some Feeling Things
Speaker 3: podcast winners. We're bringing some teams because we got a
Speaker 3: sponsor for the event, Taylor Farm, so they're underwriting it.
Speaker 3: So everything from top Golf, they've covered that fee, so
Speaker 3: whatever people pay to play, and you know, you can
Speaker 3: either buy a whole bay. And I was thinking like
Speaker 3: it would be just be a cool thing for families
Speaker 3: or companies where you can do a company outing. It
Speaker 3: can be team bonding and you're giving back at the
Speaker 3: same time.
Speaker 4: Okay, have you pitches for us to do as a
Speaker 4: show yet or no? Because no, have we given up
Speaker 4: on that.
Speaker 3: I would know if everybody, I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe it'll come up organically. It started, as you know,
Speaker 3: Ben and I wanted to do it, and then Cat
Speaker 3: and I thought, oh, because Taylor Farms got involved and
Speaker 3: I work with them.
Speaker 1: Taylor Farms is the underwriter the Salad company.
Speaker 3: And then Cat and I were thinking, because Taylor Farms
Speaker 3: with their sponsorship, you get three bays and they're bringing
Speaker 3: some employees that want to come participate, which I thought
Speaker 3: was cool because sometimes you can just give that they
Speaker 3: want to give and be involved, and so that was
Speaker 3: really special. They were like, well, we have extra space.
Speaker 3: So then Kat and I are like, oh, we'll fill that.
Speaker 3: We'll give away some spots on our Feeling Things podcast
Speaker 3: Instagram and they can bring a guest and yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought about Eddie. He may want
Speaker 1: to come because Foster Care.
Speaker 3: But I'll pitch it. Thank you, Morgan. I will pitch
Speaker 3: it and we'll see if maybe we do a shoe outing.
Speaker 2: I think you should pitch it because even if not,
Speaker 2: maybe there's a few of us that would want to go,
Speaker 2: because I'd go, okay, if I'm in town, I'll go,
Speaker 2: all right, I'll pitch it.
Speaker 3: So there's you can get either just a single pay
Speaker 3: to play slot and it includes a fat a buffet
Speaker 3: dinner and you know, if you do well, there's door
Speaker 3: prizes and different things. So it should be a fun
Speaker 3: night of fun and philanthropy. But I was thinking businesses
Speaker 3: are looking for team building at least I think they are,
Speaker 3: because you know, I want it for us, and that
Speaker 3: they could like bring the whole bring employees, and then
Speaker 3: as a company buying a bay that also is a
Speaker 3: write off, and you know one hundred percent of your
Speaker 3: money is going to help Isaiah in seventeen house, then
Speaker 3: it's like, oh bam, this is a no brainer way
Speaker 3: to do some team building and give back at the
Speaker 3: same time.
Speaker 4: And you do know with your ex husband, which is
Speaker 4: really good for your family, and that's really cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been very good for us because a year
Speaker 3: ago Ben and I were not in this place, like
Speaker 3: we weren't bad and we were coparenting well, but we
Speaker 3: were not like we are now.
Speaker 1: So that's good.
Speaker 2: Oh, that is good. We'll go check that out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll put it in the show notes in here,
Speaker 4: so you guys can click on it and we're going
Speaker 4: to take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll be back with some more. Okay.
Speaker 4: So also the kids, we were talking about them a
Speaker 4: little bit in there, and they're back at school.
Speaker 2: This stashiras last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a senior, which is really really hard to
Speaker 3: process and also exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and she starting to apply to things.
Speaker 1: Are we we're trying to figure out what she's gonna do?
Speaker 3: I mean, she she is, and we're coming alongside whatever
Speaker 3: that looks like for her. She's done some college visits,
Speaker 3: she's thought about taking a year to try to figure
Speaker 3: it out, she's thought about Esthetician school, all.
Speaker 1: The things, all the things all floating right now, we
Speaker 1: are floating.
Speaker 3: But she has started the process of figuring out where
Speaker 3: to apply and how to apply.
Speaker 1: She's already applied for some scholarships. Okay, so we'll see.
Speaker 4: Are you part of that process or is she kind
Speaker 4: of taking that over? No, we're part of it, but
Speaker 4: we I put a lot of it. I want her
Speaker 4: to be involved. I know that there's some parents that
Speaker 4: do absolutely nothing, which was mine, and I'm so confused,
Speaker 4: Like I didn't really know how to figure stuff out,
Speaker 4: but I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Looking back, I wish my parents were alive, because I
Speaker 3: really want to ask them. I'm like, what what was
Speaker 3: the process here? Because I remember feeling so lost and
Speaker 3: I finally figured it out. But I mean I just
Speaker 3: sort of applied. I only applied to one college and
Speaker 3: I didn't get in and so I was like, thanks
Speaker 3: for this, mom, Dad, you should have told me applied
Speaker 3: to multiple see what happens. I applied to one. Now
Speaker 3: my dad was there financially. I think that was sort
Speaker 3: of his thing. He was like, oh, I'm showing up financially,
Speaker 3: so I don't need to do anything else.
Speaker 1: And I think I.
Speaker 3: Would have much rather him been there in other ways
Speaker 3: than financial, but that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 1: Works through that in therapy. And then my mom.
Speaker 3: She my dad went to college, my mom didn't, and
Speaker 3: she was working full time, and I don't think she
Speaker 3: had the bandwidth. She was also very involved in like
Speaker 3: you know, she was in her HOA and you know,
Speaker 3: an elder at church, and she had other things going, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: and she worked full time. Sometimes when she would add
Speaker 3: president of this and treasurer of that on like.
Speaker 1: Mom, hello, you're like I exist.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think I didn't feel it wasn't a
Speaker 3: terrible neglect by any means, but that's something I've also
Speaker 3: worked there. It is just there were certain forms of
Speaker 3: like I just don't I think she just stayed busy
Speaker 3: to avoid certain things.
Speaker 1: And then some.
Speaker 3: Of that was like the little things or I could
Speaker 3: have used some of her She had skills being People
Speaker 3: would ask her, can you chair this?
Speaker 1: Can you be the president of this? Can you be
Speaker 1: the treasurer? You know?
Speaker 3: She she was very organized, and I'm like, I got
Speaker 3: to use some of that. So I didn't get into college.
Speaker 3: And I was explaining this sister share too, is that
Speaker 3: junior college is a great thing. If you want, you
Speaker 3: can use that all the way through. You can use
Speaker 3: it as a stepping stone and then get into a university.
Speaker 1: So that's what I did.
Speaker 3: I mean, I went to Blynn in Brian College Station
Speaker 3: my first year, and then then I reapplied to A
Speaker 3: and M because that's the only school I applied to.
Speaker 3: And then I got in no problem because I knew
Speaker 3: being there close by. I met with advisors and people
Speaker 3: at Blynn were used to kids coming there and wanting
Speaker 3: to get into A and M. So my advisor told
Speaker 3: me exactly what I needed to do. And then I
Speaker 3: was motivated because of like now I was.
Speaker 1: Like, what I didn't get in?
Speaker 3: Like this is no, and I was there was some
Speaker 3: there shouldn't have been, but naturally I was embarrassed because
Speaker 3: the one place I applied to I didn't get into
Speaker 3: and so I had that motivation and I did everything
Speaker 3: and then Boom got in right away.
Speaker 4: Well, and there's probably embarrassing because you didn't apply to
Speaker 4: other one, so you just thought like you just would
Speaker 4: get rejected by all of them instead of thinking, no,
Speaker 4: I could have got into one of them.
Speaker 2: I just only applied to one of.
Speaker 1: Them, exactly like I would have got in somewhere.
Speaker 3: I did apply to Texas University for some Texas State
Speaker 3: or University of Texas, University of Texas, Okay, because for
Speaker 3: some reason, I was obsessed with the Longhorns.
Speaker 4: Don't ask me why. Nobody in my family was a
Speaker 4: Longhorn fan. I think there's a part of me that
Speaker 4: just wanted to move away and not be in Kansas.
Speaker 4: And I had also applied to k State. It's so
Speaker 4: funny because I think, if I remember correctly, I do
Speaker 4: think I got accepted to Texas or it was either
Speaker 4: that I didn't fully apply. I can't remember what the
Speaker 4: process was because my memory is so shot, but I
Speaker 4: remember looking at the out of state tuition I was like, never.
Speaker 2: Mind, oh yeah, I can't go a lot.
Speaker 4: It was so much money because I'm fair to me
Speaker 4: just going into k state, which was still a lot
Speaker 4: of money. But when I looked at the comparison, I
Speaker 4: was like, there's why am I doing this? What is
Speaker 4: my actual reason for wanting to go to the Longhorns?
Speaker 4: Besides wanting to be a Longhorn?
Speaker 2: That was it. I had no real anything.
Speaker 3: For one, Yeah, it's probably not worth the out of
Speaker 3: state tuition if the driving factor is bevo.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it was so crazy. So I yeah, and
Speaker 4: I don't know that. I think my parents guided me
Speaker 4: a little bit, but I think most of it was
Speaker 4: just like, hey, apply to college, Yeah, make sure you
Speaker 4: get it done, do some scholarships, and you just kind
Speaker 4: of do it and hope for the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I'm having a hand in it. I'm also letting
Speaker 3: her figure some stuff out, but I'm not like, oh,
Speaker 3: too busy over here. I'm just not even going to
Speaker 3: talk to you about it. But my mom was that
Speaker 3: way with everything. I mean, this is Tami, but like
Speaker 3: even girls stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like I.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like, here's how you do this at this
Speaker 3: time of the month, and this was nothing I had
Speaker 3: to ask my friends. I remember in whatever grade it
Speaker 3: was or how old it was when it happened. My
Speaker 3: friend Kinsey, she showed me how to do everything, like and.
Speaker 2: Did your sister have the same experience too, Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very much. That my sister had to ask
Speaker 3: friends and we talk about it. I was thinking, I
Speaker 3: thought you were about to ask me. I was anticipated
Speaker 3: you saying, what about your sister? Could you go to her?
Speaker 1: By the when I became.
Speaker 3: A freshman, my sister was already in college, and then
Speaker 3: that's when stuff was happening for me.
Speaker 1: You know, like, wait, you're.
Speaker 4: Telling meff like like girl stuff like uh ant flow.
Speaker 2: I was in fourth grade when mine happened.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, that's definitely not me.
Speaker 2: That is wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah I was going into high school.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Okay. So your guys' gap is four and a half years.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so she would have been gone.
Speaker 4: She already been focused on she had been there, done that,
Speaker 4: through all the stuff, and she was like, yeah, you're
Speaker 4: on your own.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I even tell her now, I'm like, well, thanks
Speaker 3: for the heads up. That mom doesn't say anything suddenly.
Speaker 3: I mean, my sister said she to go steal stuff
Speaker 3: out of my mom's bathroom because when because our mom
Speaker 3: didn't talk about it, it made us think this is
Speaker 3: weird to talk about our so whatever.
Speaker 1: So my sister never brought it up.
Speaker 3: She was just sneaking into my mom's bathroom and then
Speaker 3: my mom noticed that she was taking things. So my
Speaker 3: mom went to the store bought her stuff and then
Speaker 3: just stuck it in the cabinet. And so my sister
Speaker 3: went to like we shared a bathroom, went to our
Speaker 3: bathroom and said she opened up the cabinet one day
Speaker 3: and then there was product there. But then it was
Speaker 3: like okay, okay, thanks mom. But there was no discussion.
Speaker 3: So I didn't avoid it, avoid it.
Speaker 1: Not so avoid it's so weird.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a mix because it's not like she avoided everything,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: But definitely certainly, but a lot.
Speaker 3: I think it was maybe where I get you know,
Speaker 3: tied up about it in my head or it just
Speaker 3: feels confusing, is because oh, my son, my son's calling,
Speaker 3: he must have just woken up.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Where it gets crazy in my head about that is
Speaker 3: later in life. I think, especially when she got sick,
Speaker 3: when she got cancer, she started to think about how
Speaker 3: she wanted to be and our relationship really started to
Speaker 3: change and we talked about so much more.
Speaker 1: But I was in my thirties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you haven't experienced that.
Speaker 4: You also had to have your kids in I think
Speaker 4: a lot of things you've learned has really come with
Speaker 4: having the kids, So I would imagine you had more
Speaker 4: questions now than you would have had been.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were some ms that I never thought of
Speaker 3: to ask. I just think we started talking about a
Speaker 3: lot more because I think she started realizing, oh shoot,
Speaker 3: I may be running out of time, so let's talk.
Speaker 3: And our relationship has started to get a lot better
Speaker 3: even before she got sick. But I was definitely I'd
Speaker 3: already moved out of the house and was married by
Speaker 3: the time all of that started to happen, and then
Speaker 3: I would have defined her as one of my best friends.
Speaker 3: So in speaking of I remember some of my best
Speaker 3: friends in high school always talking about how my mom
Speaker 3: like they enjoyed talking with her, and she would she
Speaker 3: was a good listener and offer a good advice.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are y'all talking about?
Speaker 5: Like I have a vastly different experience I did, But
Speaker 5: it's almost isn't now that I think about it. It's
Speaker 5: just interesting because my mom wasn't she wasn't attached to.
Speaker 3: Them, so maybe she could open up more. But there
Speaker 3: was something about just avoiding. Who knows, maybe she was
Speaker 3: giving tampons to my friends, I'm telling them how to
Speaker 3: use it. I don't know, but she certainly wasn't inside
Speaker 3: our house. But I'm glad my mom what I'm glad
Speaker 3: my friends saw my mom as that and that they
Speaker 3: felt like they could talk to her about.
Speaker 1: Things, because I certainly didn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe there's just some dissociation in the fact that,
Speaker 4: like you, it wasn't her kids, so she didn't feel yeah,
Speaker 4: some type of way about it for whatever reason, or
Speaker 4: you know, it's always crazy when you think about what
Speaker 4: gets passed down from generation, like what.
Speaker 3: Her her mom was like available for her at all, whatsoever.
Speaker 3: That's like me and stuff my mom would make sure. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we I don't remember having to fin for myself a lot,
Speaker 3: unless it was that time of the month. But like
Speaker 3: my mom growing up, that was like I don't know
Speaker 3: where my grandma was, maybe bowling, but my mom would
Speaker 3: said there were times she would just go in the
Speaker 3: kitchen and there wasn't anything to eat. She would have
Speaker 3: to try to figure out how to piece together some
Speaker 3: sort of a meal. And I know my grandma didn't
Speaker 3: talk to her about anything. My grandma didn't have much
Speaker 3: of an appetite. She was a chainsmoker, so I don't
Speaker 3: think food was okay. She likes to burn bread and milk.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: We didn't pass down the corn bread and milk or
Speaker 4: the dain smoking soap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did improve the generation progress. Oh okay, Well
Speaker 2: we're gonna take another break. Thank you for the inside.
Speaker 2: That was cool to learn about about your mom.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds so fun because you didn't talk about her,
Speaker 4: but then you're also learning about her in the same.
Speaker 3: Point, and how you want to show up diff for
Speaker 3: your kids. And sometimes I find myself behaving like my mom,
Speaker 3: and I have to be intentional.
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. I think you're just
Speaker 1: being what was done to you. And guess what, you
Speaker 1: get to do it differently, So be different.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of intention behind that, and that's hard.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be right back.
Speaker 4: So really exciting things are happening over in my house
Speaker 4: right now. Exciting is probably the best way I can
Speaker 4: say it, because I'm trying to bring humor and light
Speaker 4: to not fun things.
Speaker 1: Well, it's your animals are keeping things interesting for you,
Speaker 1: that's for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so Hazel has kidney damage of some kind. Now,
Speaker 4: I've only had her since she was about eight years
Speaker 4: old roughly, that was an estimate on her age. So
Speaker 4: she's already kind of a seenior cat when I got her,
Speaker 4: and she had quite a bit of neglect. She came
Speaker 4: from a one hundred and thirty cat hoarding situation, so
Speaker 4: who really knows what her life was like.
Speaker 1: So when they have cat hoarders like that, what is
Speaker 1: what is it? What's going on?
Speaker 4: I don't know what you know about like, so just
Speaker 4: what I've learned about cats, especially over time. One, most
Speaker 4: of the time, horders tend to have good intentions to start, Yes,
Speaker 4: they're like they want to save cats, they want to
Speaker 4: help them. Then it gets quickly overwhelming. One because cats
Speaker 4: reproduce at an insane rate, Like that's why you see
Speaker 4: a lot of feral cat colonies, especially because if they
Speaker 4: haven't been trapped and humanly released back to their colony
Speaker 4: to be like Spade and neutered. Because cats, like there
Speaker 4: was a huge statistic as soon as they turn like
Speaker 4: six months old, they can start having kittens, and their
Speaker 4: kittens can like double over just the course of a year.
Speaker 4: And so if you say you have five cats where
Speaker 4: you're taking care of them, you took them in with
Speaker 4: good intention, but you don't have the resources or money
Speaker 4: to spare neuter them.
Speaker 2: Over the course of a year, you're probably gonna triple
Speaker 2: that number.
Speaker 1: Because this is ignorance on my part.
Speaker 4: But so.
Speaker 3: A cat, like five kittens are born and some are
Speaker 3: boys and summer girls. Those cats, can the brother and
Speaker 3: sister make a baby?
Speaker 2: They can't.
Speaker 1: I know they can, obviously they can't. I didn't.
Speaker 4: It's more it's not uncommon, okay, So I meant cats
Speaker 4: are just a different type of species and all of
Speaker 4: their breeding and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's definitely just interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess dogs that do.
Speaker 3: Honestly, this is something I've not ever thought about, obviously,
Speaker 3: so I'm probably gonna google this later one.
Speaker 4: I think when you have like breeder actual breeder people,
Speaker 4: they don't. Of course, you have complications because it's no
Speaker 4: different than humans in the fact of like genetics and whatnot.
Speaker 4: But when they're out feral or they're in a situation
Speaker 4: that's in uncontrolled environment, anything can happen.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just guess I didn't know if, like you know,
Speaker 3: there was a certain scent that was like, oh, my brother,
Speaker 3: you're my sister. I'm not gonna do this.
Speaker 4: There could be there could be an ignorance for me
Speaker 4: there that I don't know. They're definitely couldn't ass so
Speaker 4: if there is, let us know, but I don't think so.
Speaker 3: So they are.
Speaker 2: Reproduction is just super high. It's the same for if
Speaker 2: you had feral dogs dunnies. Yes, yes, and you don't have.
Speaker 4: You just have more feral cat colonies than you do
Speaker 4: of any other domesticated animal for the most part. But
Speaker 4: so that's typically what you see happening in hoarding situations.
Speaker 4: They're well intentioned, don't have the resources, they don't get
Speaker 4: them spay or neuter. Then you reproduce and then you're
Speaker 4: just kind of stuck and it just keeps happening. Then
Speaker 4: you have fifteen to spaan neuterer versus five or whatever.
Speaker 2: So it just kind of the cyclopace.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Hazel is a part of that. And then
Speaker 1: now and so yeah, you don't know.
Speaker 4: For eight years, I should no idea what her life
Speaker 4: was like, or what food she was given, if she
Speaker 4: was given water or attiquette the adequate diet, even just
Speaker 4: was she getting fed dog food?
Speaker 2: Or was she getting food human food. I have no idea.
Speaker 4: So now we're definitely dealing with some kidney issues that
Speaker 4: I never would have known about until now. In all
Speaker 4: of this, and like what started as a kidney infection
Speaker 4: in Uti and E Coalie is all because she's basically
Speaker 4: not the throughing out the waste product that's in her
Speaker 4: kidney's which is not uncommon for cats, especially as they
Speaker 4: get older. And she's roughly around ten years old, so
Speaker 4: it's possible that this is just something that was going
Speaker 4: to happen in her aging. It's also a thing with
Speaker 4: her breed Siamese, so all of it was still possible
Speaker 4: regardless of her background. It's just it's more likely to
Speaker 4: happen quicker given you.
Speaker 2: Know her history.
Speaker 4: So now we just are she's probably gonna be on
Speaker 4: fluids for the rest of her life most likely. That's
Speaker 4: kind of what we're looking at. So IV's right now
Speaker 4: to help her flush and get her on a kickstart,
Speaker 4: and then I'll have to start doing SubQ fluid at home,
Speaker 4: which is a lot different than IVY. You just kind
Speaker 4: of stick it in the top of their back and
Speaker 4: it goes right under the skin and it helps them
Speaker 4: stay hydrated because when you keep the kidneys hydrated, it
Speaker 4: helps them moving and working properly as they should. Cats
Speaker 4: are also notorious for not drinking a lot of water,
Speaker 4: so that's why they always end up with kidney problems.
Speaker 4: Like why Vet was like, it's not a question of if,
Speaker 4: it's a question of when your cat will have kidney issues. Okay,
Speaker 4: So it is something to be like prepared for Maggie's
Speaker 4: drinking water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
Speaker 4: Wet food is so much better for cats than dry
Speaker 4: food because it gives the more hydration. That's the thing too,
Speaker 4: So it's definitely stuff to be aware of with cats.
Speaker 1: And Maggie won't eat wet food. I've tried.
Speaker 4: You can sprinkle, what I've learned, it's the transition with
Speaker 4: wet food. You can sprinkle on dry food on top
Speaker 4: of it and kind of coerce them into getting a
Speaker 4: little bit of both. Okay and the Yeah, cats are
Speaker 4: finicky about food anyways.
Speaker 3: Shows me if her food sits out for too long,
Speaker 3: she don't give her too much food. If there's too
Speaker 3: much food, she won't touch it, and then it's so
Speaker 3: it sits there even longer, so then she's definitely not
Speaker 3: going to touch it, so you have to, like sometimes
Speaker 3: when I have other people watching her if I'm out
Speaker 3: of town, I think because with a cat, you don't
Speaker 3: need to stop buy as much as you would a dog.
Speaker 3: So they're sort of like, oh, I'll just stop buy
Speaker 3: once a day, but I'll give her more food, and
Speaker 3: so I have to be very specific.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you can stop by one day.
Speaker 3: I don't care, but don't give her more food, thinking
Speaker 3: you're doing her a favor because it's just gonna end
Speaker 3: up sitting there because then it sits out and then
Speaker 3: she's just turned off by it.
Speaker 1: I don't it's so weird.
Speaker 2: She's like, don't feb me that, U peasant.
Speaker 1: I don't want that that much food. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think it's just there and then I don't know
Speaker 3: what it is about it, but then it sits there
Speaker 3: longer and then she's definitely not touching it. So then
Speaker 3: you have to just have to feed it to my
Speaker 3: dog because she'll eat whatever and then start over with
Speaker 3: a smaller batch and then she'll work her way through that.
Speaker 2: That's so funny they are.
Speaker 4: Cats are so much more finicky about food, which also
Speaker 4: makes it difficult on their organs. Because they love to
Speaker 4: be difficult and they're eating habits. There's also like, I
Speaker 4: don't know what kind of wet food you've tried with her,
Speaker 4: but there's like shredded meat wet food that you can
Speaker 4: give them, and that always they tend to like. Because
Speaker 4: cats are more they love to what's the word I'm
Speaker 4: looking for, They like to like go after prey.
Speaker 2: Cats are more like they have more activity in that.
Speaker 4: So something about shredded meat makes them have their li
Speaker 4: more wild instinct and it is better for them.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is information that I just keep getting given
Speaker 4: and I'm just recurstating and I'm probably butchering some of it.
Speaker 4: So that's what's going on with her. And funny because
Speaker 4: I'm terrified of needles. So this will be a really
Speaker 4: good experience for both of us. Thankfully, I have my
Speaker 4: boyfriend who's very much prepared.
Speaker 1: And ready to help injust her Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so she'll probably have to get him once or
Speaker 4: twice a week, and we can do it at home.
Speaker 4: I just have to kind of have the fluid bags
Speaker 4: ready whenever she needs it. So that'll likely be our
Speaker 4: course of action for the rest of her life and
Speaker 4: go from there.
Speaker 2: I think that's what's happening. And then Remy, we got.
Speaker 4: Blood work on her and hopefully by the time everybody
Speaker 4: hears this, I'll have results and know what's going on.
Speaker 4: But she's been shaking, she wasn't eating for me, she's
Speaker 4: drinking more water. It's just all signs of something going on.
Speaker 4: So hoping it's just a bug. But she's ten years old,
Speaker 4: so you know, we're getting to that age where things
Speaker 4: start happening. And I'm hoping though it's nothing, because if
Speaker 4: I have both of them with problems, I'm probably gonna
Speaker 4: just pass away.
Speaker 1: No, don't say that will not be good for me.
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping for the best lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then my grandma fell and broke her hip,
Speaker 4: so she was in emergency surgery. Oh my gosh, it
Speaker 4: was When was that all within the same day? It
Speaker 4: all happened the exact same day?
Speaker 1: So, but how is she recovering?
Speaker 4: She's doing better, and she's before she even went in,
Speaker 4: she said that her pain was like a three, which
Speaker 4: was really awesome. And you know, when you break your hip,
Speaker 4: you'd expect to be in so much pain. But she's
Speaker 4: such a badass. My grandma like loves her life. She
Speaker 4: lives out on a farm, refuses to not be on
Speaker 4: that farm, and still to this day takes care of
Speaker 4: animals and.
Speaker 2: Lives her life.
Speaker 4: So I never see her not doing well and stuff
Speaker 4: like this because she's just so strong and very determined.
Speaker 2: So she's been doing really well with it. But it's hard.
Speaker 2: You know, as they get older, they definitely don't want
Speaker 2: to be in hospitals, and that's the harder part of
Speaker 2: all of it really. So we're just how old is she?
Speaker 2: I want to say, she's eighty nine?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, she's getting it.
Speaker 2: She's I don't think she said her nineties yet. She
Speaker 2: might have My memory sucks, so but yeah, she's out there.
Speaker 3: Well I'm glad she's recovering, okay, And yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: a fall in your late eighties or nineties is you know,
Speaker 3: it's terrible.
Speaker 4: It's so significant, it's and it's so crazy because she's
Speaker 4: so with it. Like I'll call her and we have
Speaker 4: full blown conversations and she'll have spent the whole day
Speaker 4: outside working on the farm, and just it's crazy. I
Speaker 4: also think that's good for them, right, because when you
Speaker 4: are active and you're out and doing things, it's really
Speaker 4: good for your health to be not sedentary, so it
Speaker 4: is good for her, but it's definitely a worry with
Speaker 4: all of us out there. Yeah, like we're still an
Speaker 4: hour from her, even like my family that's in which
Speaker 4: is jab.
Speaker 1: Does she live alone? Oh gosh, yeah, she lives alone
Speaker 1: on a Yeah okay, goals.
Speaker 2: I know, and she loves it. It's so funny.
Speaker 4: I'll call and talk to him like are you doing okay?
Speaker 4: She's like, this is the best life. This is all
Speaker 4: I could have ever asked for. Like, this is what
Speaker 4: makes me happy, and I love it for her, But
Speaker 4: you know, it's concern for us. But she won't ever leave.
Speaker 4: We've accepted that because that's what makes her happy, and
Speaker 4: trying to put her in anywhere else will probably deteriorate
Speaker 4: her health.
Speaker 2: More than help it. So and she was the one
Speaker 2: who even called the ambulance for herself. Just crazy.
Speaker 4: But thankfully my aunt lives out by her, so that
Speaker 4: helps with you know, checking in on her right away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's just tells you how self sufficient she is.
Speaker 2: Just like fell and I was like, uh, I need
Speaker 2: an ambulat.
Speaker 1: Her phone was close by your hip.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, so just crazy stuff happening.
Speaker 1: Rand and my dad. I hate My dad wore one
Speaker 1: of those little necklaces where he fell.
Speaker 2: That I need help.
Speaker 1: Then how an alarm would go off? He could press it.
Speaker 3: Yes, we got to that point. And I had an
Speaker 3: alarm on his bed too, to wear well. To be fair,
Speaker 3: when he moved in with me. He only lived in
Speaker 3: me for one night before he died, or before he
Speaker 3: got put into the hospital and went on life support.
Speaker 1: But I had an alarm on his bed. It's like
Speaker 1: a pad.
Speaker 3: So when he's laying there, I knew he was safe
Speaker 3: and in his bed, but the minute he got up,
Speaker 3: it would sound an alarm.
Speaker 1: And so that's how I.
Speaker 3: Knew he got up, and so I heard the alarm
Speaker 3: go off. But by the time I got in there,
Speaker 3: he had already fallen. And then that's I had to call.
Speaker 3: He could not have called the ambulance, but I did,
Speaker 3: and yees falling.
Speaker 1: He was very fragile, though he wasn't like as active
Speaker 1: as your grandma.
Speaker 2: So in general too, when you.
Speaker 4: Get older, it's crazy how much your bones just changed
Speaker 4: over time and how fragile they are.
Speaker 3: And that's why they encourage us now like now be
Speaker 3: thinking about your eighty year old self in your thirties
Speaker 3: and forties and fifties, because don't wait till later to
Speaker 3: be like, oh, okay, I'll start doing this. What can
Speaker 3: you do to build up your muscles now? To take
Speaker 3: care of and keep your bones? Especially women, taking care
Speaker 3: of our bones is crucial. So that's one reason why
Speaker 3: I got into pilates.
Speaker 1: As I saw some.
Speaker 3: Surgeon she worked predominantly on hips, like, did a lot
Speaker 3: of hip surgery, especially in elderly people, and she said
Speaker 3: the top thing I would recommend to people that are
Speaker 3: younger that are taking.
Speaker 1: Care of their eighty year old selves is pilates.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 3: Okay, So that's when I thought, okay, I better sign up,
Speaker 3: and I got a membership and I started going regularly,
Speaker 3: and then I got out of the groove and I
Speaker 3: have not been going at all.
Speaker 1: So now the is there.
Speaker 3: This is reminding me I need to get back into
Speaker 3: you know something, or just even doing some of those
Speaker 3: plates exercises at home. It's like you have to be
Speaker 3: on the machine or the reformer to do it. Like
Speaker 3: there's plenty, and that's my thing. I think I like
Speaker 3: working out at home, or I guess at ebbs and flows.
Speaker 3: I go in and out of what's better for me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I need to remind myself this isn't for you. Now.
Speaker 1: Stop thinking about you. Now think if eighty year old
Speaker 1: you so when you fall, you're good.
Speaker 4: It is funny too, because even when I did those
Speaker 4: interviews with the Senior Living Community, Shirley was on and
Speaker 4: she's ninety one and she's so with it, you would
Speaker 4: never know that she's ninety one years old, and just
Speaker 4: her skin looks amazing.
Speaker 2: She looks great.
Speaker 4: And I had so many people comment on the video
Speaker 4: just like how is she ninety one? And her one
Speaker 4: thing was exercise. Every day I get up and move
Speaker 4: like no matter what, I get up and I move
Speaker 4: my body. And finally hearing from somebody like a legit
Speaker 4: piece instead of you, don't you hear the ones like
Speaker 4: I drink a coke every day and make sure you
Speaker 4: have some fried chicken or whatever, this is like real
Speaker 4: her be like, no, I feel good. I look good
Speaker 4: because I've been exercising every day for my life. Not
Speaker 4: just exercise that we think of like pilates and stuff,
Speaker 4: but just like literally moving your body because we live
Speaker 4: very sedentary lifestyles unfortunately, so hers was just get up
Speaker 4: and move. Stop sitting here, like even right now, go move.
Speaker 4: So it is really safe advice. I wish I could
Speaker 4: listen to it some days. Some days I'm really bad
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like you don't be hard on yourself.
Speaker 3: You're pretty active. But I think in those sedentary days
Speaker 3: at work where you have a lot of work and
Speaker 3: you have to sit, I guess what we could be
Speaker 3: more intentional with is hourly setting some more of some
Speaker 3: sort of a timer, as annoying or cheesy or ridiculous
Speaker 3: as it may sound, just getting up every hour and
Speaker 3: taking a lap around the building. I think that could
Speaker 3: be helpful because those days that, yes, I sit here,
Speaker 3: sometimes I leave here and it'll be you know, well
Speaker 3: into the afternoon and we've been here all morning and
Speaker 3: I've been sitting the entire time, and I'm like, wait
Speaker 3: what And I.
Speaker 4: Don't feel as good those days when my body isn't moving,
Speaker 4: and I know, I like, I'll look down, I've had
Speaker 4: a hundred steps just to get into the building or whatever.
Speaker 4: That's when I know, and I am not feeling great,
Speaker 4: and I'll get up in them I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 4: just needed to move the juices around in my body.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on those days, you know you're going to have
Speaker 3: to be extra sedentary. Just maybe a challenge we could
Speaker 3: all have for ourselves is okay, No, I'm going to
Speaker 3: be sitting a lot today, So I'm going to get
Speaker 3: up and do a two minute walk every hour.
Speaker 1: Boom. That could help.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do that more.
Speaker 4: I'm also you'd be really proud of me I'm about
Speaker 4: to do after we get back from our vacations later,
Speaker 4: I'm going to be doing a whole detox with an
Speaker 4: integrative health specialist, trying to get rid of my long
Speaker 4: COVID and it's going to be brutal.
Speaker 2: She's like, I think we need an eight week cleanse
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 4: Just over the course of your life, you've had a
Speaker 4: lot of stuff happen and your body's taken the hit.
Speaker 2: And detox meaning I'm just going to be eating certain.
Speaker 4: Foods that are not inflammatory, and also I have to
Speaker 4: do an extended fast to help my body kind of
Speaker 4: reset its cells and put it into a routine that
Speaker 4: it can do that. So I'm a little nervous, but
Speaker 4: I'll be doing a lot of different things lot sauna,
Speaker 4: like an infrared sauna.
Speaker 2: I'll be doing red light therapy.
Speaker 4: I'll be doing doing grounding work, just a whole bunch
Speaker 4: lymphatic drainage, dry brushing, all of it. Hello, Yeah, fully
Speaker 4: try and reset my whole system because I've done ebbs
Speaker 4: and flows of all of those things. But she's like,
Speaker 4: there's something about a combination and the right combination of
Speaker 4: all of it to set your body up for success
Speaker 4: to actually drain stuff out of it. She's like, detoxes
Speaker 4: are harder than just you know, do a juice cleans
Speaker 4: and alcos away. That's not quite how it works. She's like,
Speaker 4: your body actually needs support to go through a detox
Speaker 4: because if you put your body into detox and you're
Speaker 4: not ready, it can be more harm than good.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm good. I'm glad you've got a doctor
Speaker 3: to guide you and be by your side through it all.
Speaker 3: Because I know the long COVID stuff has been.
Speaker 4: Really I'm like, you know what, eight weeks is nothing
Speaker 4: compared to having to experience fur to go again, So
Speaker 4: do it?
Speaker 2: Send me on it.
Speaker 1: I was at lunch yesterday with someone my friend chases
Speaker 1: in town, and we went to lunch with a girl that.
Speaker 3: Has mold in her body. She found it in her condo.
Speaker 3: She knew she felt unwell for months and couldn't figure
Speaker 3: out why. And then when she had a specialist come
Speaker 3: and they cut into her roof where there was this
Speaker 3: leak and there was black mold everywhere, and she had
Speaker 3: been and she's since moved out because they're gutting it
Speaker 3: and redoing it. But even just moving out, obviously she's
Speaker 3: done different things too to help detox. But she just
Speaker 3: feels so much better. But she's like, I never would
Speaker 3: have thought it was mold in my house. I mean,
Speaker 3: she was testing for all kinds of other things, and
Speaker 3: then when she did a specific test for like twenty
Speaker 3: one different toxins, there was three that were really bad
Speaker 3: and then one that was off the charts and it
Speaker 3: was part of the black mold. And so now she's
Speaker 3: on a a journey of just trying to heal her body. Oh,
Speaker 3: it's very similar to what you're going through. She's meeting
Speaker 3: with a doctor that's helping her do it, and she's
Speaker 3: already Yeah, she's already feeling a lot better, and she
Speaker 3: knows that there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 3: But I just hate that she's having to go through
Speaker 3: go through that, and there are so many people. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they may not know because you don't know what's
Speaker 3: behind your.
Speaker 4: And it's so expensive, yes, to have mold and to
Speaker 4: have somebody one come in and diagnose it, to come
Speaker 4: in and fix it. You're completely regutting however big it is,
Speaker 4: or however fart spreads in your house. It's crazy that
Speaker 4: that is such a significant thing for so many people
Speaker 4: because mold. Like hearing you say that and talk about that,
Speaker 4: it is not the first time I've heard it. I've
Speaker 4: heard it from a whole lot of people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it seems as though it takes.
Speaker 3: Unless you get lucky and find that you've, oh got mold,
Speaker 3: maybe this is it, and you go to a doctor
