Speaker 1: from what is the name of this podcast? Catherine, it

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: is Dear Chelsea. I've been clearing my throat for about

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: four and a half months, so I am going to

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: have to get a esophagus X ray esophageal X ray

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: to find out what the fund is in my throat.

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: It's probably a colonel of cannabis anyway. Actually, it's really funny.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: My dad. This is not really funny. It's just a

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: weird story in my family. My dad once inhaled a

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: kernel of popcorn into his lung and he did that

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: for a while, so hopefully it's not popcorn. I had

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: to get like scoped out, and the doctor like almost

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: gave up. He's like, I don't see. He's like, I

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: know there is popcorn in my lung. You know that's

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: funny because I I try not to smoke weed that

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: much anymore because of this, and I think it's weed related,

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: which it's not. I still have some sort of acid

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: reflux or anyway, I smoked a little joint last night

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: when Joe and I got home from Malibu. We actually

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: went to go see John Lovett's who was the person

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: who introduced Joe and me like seventeen years ago, and

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: he's been taking credit for our romance ever since. So

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: I said we should invite him to know Boo Malibu,

29
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: which is where we had some dinner, and he was

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: very excited to be out. Nice yea, that's very Yeah.

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: I think we're all excited to be out after two years.

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: This is a little mini episode because we are on

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: hiatus for three weeks, but I just want we have

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: an update from some we do, from someone who has

35
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: called into the show, and we wanted to share that

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: with you guys. Yes, it's really exciting. This one is

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: from Sarah. She wrote in a while back. She was

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: having trouble taking compliments about the fact that she had

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: adopted a couple of kids and was when we talked

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: to her in the protom adopting a new one. She said,

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: I've been able to use the advice Chelsea gave me

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: when given compliments about my kids, and it's been great

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: to have something deeper than thank you to say in return.

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: One conversation I was not expecting to have was with

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: my youngest, who was just recently adopted. It was about

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: a month after Chelsea and I spoke, and me and

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: my little were downstairs picking up his toys. He told

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: me that he often thinks about how lucky and grateful

49
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: he is to have found our family, and how he

50
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: sometimes worries that he's only in our lives because COVID

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: happened and we were home anyway. With a piece of

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: my heart breaking inside, I thought about what to respond with,

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: and then Chelsea's advice hit me. I said to him,

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: I love that you're grateful for us, and you need

55
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: to know we're grateful for you too. You are here

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: because you are my purpose, and I was put on

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: this earth to share your joy and to help you

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: share yours. He looked at me and his eyes got

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: so big, and he said, while I've never been anyone's

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: purpose before, does that mean we're meant to be? Not

61
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: just that we were forced be? As we talked, I

62
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: thought more about our conversation and said, it's great for

63
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: me to be able to be good at something, and

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you think I'm good at being

65
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: your mom. Oh my god, what a tear girl. That

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: conversation with him will never leave my heart. And I

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: felt like I was armed with the best thing to

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: say because of my talk with Chelsea. This was not

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the application I expected to use her advice in, but

70
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: it sure was an awesome one. I cannot wait to

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: see her on August thirteen in Calgary. I'll be the
