1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's Kaylee. And this is too much to

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: say asking questions it out you. All right, I'm coming

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: to you today from sunny, beautiful Hilton Had, South Carolina.

4
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: I'm here with my boyfriend's family. They do a vacation

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: here every year and it is always very special and

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: very relaxing. Uh, this year, you know, it's the fourth.

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: We typically are here this week every year. Um, but

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: the fourth didn't really feel like anything worth celebrating to me.

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: So it was just like hot dogs and fireworks. But

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: it was definitely less festive noticeably than other years. Um.

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: It is definitely hard to celebrate freedom when you no

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: longer have it. Um. I still, you know, I live

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: between l A and Tennessee, but I'm a Tennessee resident

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: and I live, really live in a state where I

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: have less bodily autonomy rights than a corpse. And that's

16
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: not maybe being dramatic. That is just a genuine fact,

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: and it's really fucked up. So if we have any

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: like men listening or people who are having trouble empathizing

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: with that, it's just it is insane to realize that

20
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: the government can force you to be a mother in Ohio.

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: This week. Um, there was a little girl who was

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: brought in by Child Protective Services because she had been

23
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: raped by a family member. And um, she was ten

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: years old, and a ten year old can't give birth.

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: You just you just can't do that, that is like.

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: And her state of Ohio banned all abortions and she

27
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: was not allowed to get one, so they had to

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: basically smuggle her over to Indiana to get an abortion.

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: But who knows when that could go away too, So

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: it's just the fact that that was so narrowly avoided

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: and there was no support system for that girl in

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: her own dight is insane. Um. So anyways, that's what's

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: been on my mind. But this episode, speaking of all that,

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 1: is about burnout. And I think we've all probably seen

35
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: what burnout is on the internet, and if you don't,

36
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: it's you've felt it. It's it's that feeling that the

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: world is so heavy and so complicated and there's nothing

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: you can possibly do about it, and it bleeds over

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: into your own life and your own relationships, and you

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: come home from a long day at work and you

41
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: turn on the news and all you see is just

42
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: absolutely horrifying things, and then you'll want you want to

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: have a nice night with your partner, but then you

44
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: can't make yourself be intimate because there's too much running

45
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: through your mind. And then all of a sudden, it's

46
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: just like taking over your life. And so like we

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: already have bad days, right, but then when you look

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: and you see a bad world, it just exacerbates everything.

49
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: And so when you have enough of those days in

50
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: a row, hello burnout. And and given the culture that

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: we live in, with the internet and cell phones and

52
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: with the twenty four hour news cycle, it's impossible to avoid.

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like the last age, Like I'm like the

54
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: one of the last, like the tail and of millennials

55
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: are like the last generation of people who can remember

56
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: life before cell phones and texting and internet and all

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: of those things, but also know what it's like to

58
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: have one, like all through high school. So I have

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: an interesting perspective on that, Like I remember what it

60
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: was like to not to have to have somebody call

61
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: you on your home phone and to have to wait

62
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: around to be picked up and not have a cell

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: phone to the call and be like, oh, I'm gonna

64
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: be here. But I also, you know, know what it

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: felt like to be addicted to my phone by the

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: time I was fourteen years old. Um, and I have

67
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: a hard time turning off empathy, and I think it

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: that's a very normal human thing. I don't think I'm

69
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: special for that. I think that we all do that.

70
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: We just might not be able to recognize that that's

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: what we're feeling. Um. But when you watch something on

72
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the news that's very taxing and people are dying for.

73
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: For me, the biggest one recently was the the Uvaldi shooting,

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't turn that off in my head. I could

75
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: turn off the news, I could stop reading about it,

76
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: but I always found myself circling back to it and

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: winding up, like staying up late on Twitter, reading accounts

78
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: from the kids, parents, and UM, it's hard, it's really hard,

79
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: And I don't want to turn off my emotions, Like

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: I don't want to become desensitized to this, because that's

81
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: what it feels like we're heading towards as a culture.

82
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: It's just seeing stuff like that, being like, oh, look

83
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: another's shooting and that's not That doesn't feel good to me.

84
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to find the balance between protecting myself

85
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: but also not like tuning everything out completely and it's

86
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: a delicate balance. And I'm going to tell you a

87
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: little bit about what I found in my search for

88
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: that and also share some advice from some other people.

89
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: So I'll bury that. So. I remember back in I

90
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Am was roommates with some some people and I was

91
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: talking to them about, you know, all the Black Lives

92
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: Matter stuff and all the hard stuff that was going on,

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: and they were just like, oh, you know, I just

94
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: don't really pay attention all that. And I was like,

95
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: what are you kidding? Are you kidding me? Like you

96
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: don't you just don't pay attention. They're like, yeah, Like

97
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: I just really can't, Like it's just really stressful, and

98
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: I just like try to be quote unquote a political

99
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: and I was like, a political that's not fucking real.

100
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: Maybe it was real, but I mean, I just can't

101
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: think of being a political. It is such a privilege.

102
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: It is such a privilege to be able to be like,

103
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't care who is in office, I don't care

104
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: what decisions are being made for my country because at

105
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I am privileged enough that

106
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: they will not affect me. I've never met a black

107
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: person or a gay person who describes themselves to say political.

108
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure they exist out there, but I'm just saying, like,

109
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: being a political is a privilege, and not everybody is

110
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: able to do that. And I know a lot of

111
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: women who considered themselves to be a political but then

112
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: now that the Supreme Court has overturned roev Wade, they're like, oh,

113
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: wait a second, that affects me. It's like, yes, it

114
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: does affect you. Welcome to the life of a minority women. Um,

115
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: this is what it feels like. So no, I just

116
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how to like handle that either.

117
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm talking about this, but I don't really know

118
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 1: the best advice because it's like, how do you tune

119
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: stuff out enough that you're protecting your mental health but

120
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: also not become totally ignorant? And so I actually posted

121
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: something about this on my Twitter account and somebody shared

122
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: some really good advice, but my tweet was like, you know,

123
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: basically a moment of desperation and I was just screaming

124
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: into the ether, being like somebody out um. But I

125
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: just was like, how do I find the balance between

126
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: reading the news slash not being ignorant to the plight

127
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: of minority groups? But still protect my mental health. It

128
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: feels like a privilege to tune it out. But also

129
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: my brain is completely consumed by the ship. So I'm

130
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: very depressing to talk to and that's very true. I

131
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: have a really really hard time not talking about it

132
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: because it's consuming me and I have a d h

133
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: D and I think it might be like hyperfixation thing,

134
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: and I hyperfixate on the news and whatever bad situation

135
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: is happening. But I'm very depressing to talk to you sometimes,

136
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be depressing to talk to.

137
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: So somebody, UM name M she's a fan and she's amazing.

138
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: She shared this newsletter with me called UM s y

139
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: s C A Ship you should care About, And it's

140
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: a newsletter that balances things out with good news, but

141
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: it also shares like really important world updates that you

142
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: need to know. But then it has pop culture as well,

143
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: and that's been really really great. So I don't have

144
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: to pay attention to stuff. Um, it's like I don't

145
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: have to follow all these news things on Twitter. I

146
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: can just kind of like scroll through them, but I

147
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: can read this newsletter in the morning, and so that

148
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: was like really really great advice. UM. But I reached

149
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: out to some friends of mine in the music industry

150
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: because it is a really really special kind of burnout

151
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: that you get because we're taught to say yes to everything. Um,

152
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: We're taught like basically instilled with FOMO. Like from the

153
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: moment you walk into the music industry, it's like if

154
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: you say no to this, like you never know what

155
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: can happen, blah blah blah. So I've said yes to

156
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: so many dumb opportunities because I'm like, you never know

157
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 1: who could be there. But then also I've had opportunities

158
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: where it's been completely true. So it's like trying to

159
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: figure out how to be deliberate with your time and

160
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: protect your mental health and not to mention like artists

161
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: and creatives are all like very very emotional people and

162
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: that's what makes it even harder. And like I'm an

163
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: angiogram eight and so I'm very just as oriented, and

164
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: so if i feel like something is unfair and it's

165
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: not getting fixed, I lose my fucking shit and I

166
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: can't think about anything else. And I'm just like so

167
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: focused on getting justice, whether it's for myself or for others.

168
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: I just I need that sort of not karma. It's

169
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: not karma, it's being like these people need to know

170
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: they're wrong, and that's my best way to describe it.

171
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: But so, um, up next, I'm going to share some

172
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: advice I got from Butch Walker, my producer, and Maggie Rose,

173
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: an incredible artist, and they both shared some really really

174
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: great advice, having both been in the music industry and

175
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: been you know, professionally ootional for decades at this point.

176
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna share that. Are okay? So I would

177
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: go to Bunchet with advice for anything. Bunchwalker is an

178
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: amazing producer. He produced my EP I got here by accident. Um,

179
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I've looked up to him my whole life and getting

180
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: to work with him was such a dream. He has

181
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: produced Taylor Swift, he did Um Everything has Changed on Red.

182
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: He's produced many of Pink songs. He wrote and produced

183
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: UM so much for My Happy Ending by Avril Levine.

184
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: He's produced Wheezer, Green Day, Fallout Boy, Panic at the Disco,

185
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: and he is just a beast. Um can't ripe enough

186
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: about this man. So this was his advice when I

187
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: asked him about like what he wished someone had told

188
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: him earlier in the music industry and in this political

189
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: climb it so, he said, I think burnout is inevitable

190
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: with anyone who is constantly working toward goals. If you're

191
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: a writer, you're always trying to be your best. If

192
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: you're an actor, Sam, if you're an advocate for a

193
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: cause and you're passionate about it, you'll burn out. The

194
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: harder the flame burns, the faster it runs out of fire.

195
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: I stepped away many times in my career, whether it

196
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: be from writing, producing records, and touring, or even from

197
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: social media, when I get too wrapped up in it

198
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: and can't find the goal post or what I set

199
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: out to do. I have a little anecdote from my

200
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: journey that I often share. When someone asked me how

201
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: my role of being a producer came to be, I

202
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: tell them that over twenty years ago, I just wanted

203
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: to be a big touring artist. I'd already been on

204
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: the road, playing about two shows a year for a

205
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: decade when I finally reached the point of being frustrated

206
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: with a touring grind and not reaching unrealistic goals for myself.

207
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: So I just walked away. I said to myself, I'll

208
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: just make records in my studio for a while. I

209
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: really enjoyed that part of music, and I hadn't had

210
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: time to explore it because I was always torn. Well,

211
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: that's when all of a sudden, all of these amazing

212
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: opportunities came my way as a producer, all because I

213
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: was burned out on touring. That's when I realized to

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: still love something for many years to come, I have

215
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: to be willing to let it breathe. The same applies

216
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: to relationships as well, and I think there's so so

217
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: much truth in that, and that was really good advice

218
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: for me, and also for me to like think about

219
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: reconnecting to the parts of music that I love that

220
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: I might not make time for every day because there's

221
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: so many different parts of it. I mean, you've some

222
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of you have probably listened to my podcast on the

223
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: creative Process, and they're all very very distinct things that

224
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: you're doing, um to exercise that same creative muscle. So

225
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: next up we have Maggie Rose. Maggie is an incredible artist,

226
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: one of the best vocalists I've ever heard. She's done country,

227
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: she's done rock. Um. She just has this really, really

228
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: soulful voice and she had Her big start was when

229
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: she released a cover of You Somebody by Kings of

230
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: Leon Um on Universal Republic and her name was Margaret

231
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: Darante at that point. Um, she's had songs on the

232
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Disney Channel. Um. She's Her big single in country that

233
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: like really broke through was the song called and Your Mama,

234
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: And I love that she released a record in called

235
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: Changed the Whole Thing, which really did change the little

236
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: thing for her. Um. She just is such a spitfire

237
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: and I adore her so much. She's towards Cheryl Crow.

238
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: She has done so many things and I'm totally blinking

239
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: on them because like she's so incredible. Um, I just

240
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: could not adore her more. She's one of my best friends. Um.

241
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: She's a fashionista and just amazing. She's been featured in

242
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: so many, like different publications Rolling Stone. Um. Oh, she's

243
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: played the Grand ol Opry over fifty times. I want

244
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: to say maybe over seventy five at this point. Um.

245
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: But her album that came out is called Have a Seat,

246
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: and it is a full soul R and B album

247
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: and you guys have to check it out. It's amazing.

248
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: So that's my very chaotic biography on making Rows but

249
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: this was her advice for burno. I realized recently that

250
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: up until this point in my life I haven't done

251
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the best job establishing boundaries for myself, which is the

252
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: biggest factor that leads to burnout. In my opinion, I've

253
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: been programmed to believe I have to be the hardest worker,

254
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: a people pleaser, and always on if I wanted to

255
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: enjoy a successful career in the music industry, and everything

256
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: around me reaffirm those beliefs. I do work hard doing

257
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: what I love, and I love making people happy. But

258
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: I realized, after being in this industry for so long,

259
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: that a sustainable career is not made or broken by

260
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: one show or a big moment, and I don't need

261
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: to answer every call that comes in my way if

262
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't fulfill me. That takes years of building confidence

263
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: and knowing oneself, which takes work and self exploration. Furthermore,

264
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: if I plan on doing this for the rest of

265
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: my life, which would be the dream, that I need

266
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: to make sure I'm walking my path my way. I

267
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: was told to stay away from hot button political topics

268
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: in my early career, and I felt unrest because of it.

269
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: I listened to my gut a lot more now, and

270
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm at peace with the fact that I'm so much

271
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: more than just an entertainer. So I make sure I

272
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: don't smether those parts of myself that make me a

273
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: more well rounded and wholehearted person, trying to want what

274
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: I have and not want. All I want is a

275
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: daily exercise, and I love that, and I needed to

276
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: hear that. So I'm asking these people for advice to

277
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: share on the podcast, but I'm also like, hey, successful

278
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: person that I respect and look up to, and it

279
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: seems to have a really healthy mental state. How do

280
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: you do it? But if you guys have any good

281
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: tips for avoiding burnout, I think I might do another

282
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: episode on this. I'm on vacation right now, so I

283
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: really was like, Okay, let's do an episode on burnout,

284
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: but let's also not burn ourselves out doing it and

285
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: try to enjoy this vacation. So I also want to

286
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: recognize that some of the coping strategies for burnout are

287
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: inherently privileged. A single mom working three jobs does not

288
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: get to go on vacation to Hilton Head that her

289
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: boyfriend's parents were kind enough to invite us on and

290
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: take that break and get to go to the beach

291
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: and just lay out there all day. So I'm definitely

292
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: just want to check my privilege there because we all

293
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: have to adjust what we're capable of and um our

294
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: expectations for ourselves based on that. So I'm going to

295
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: go take full advantage of this. And UM, I love

296
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: you guys so much. I hope that you are able

297
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: to find some healthy ways of dealing with this. UM,

298
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: stay kind, stay whole, stay safe, and try to stay happy.

299
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I love you all so much and I'll be back

300
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: next week. My name is Kaylie Short and this is

301
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: too much to say. Don't asking questions now, turn it

302
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,479
Speaker 1: out you
