Speaker 1: Hey, there. We're looking for couples to write into Dear
Speaker 1: Chelsea for a very special episode that's coming up next season.
Speaker 1: So if you're a couple or a throutle who wanted
Speaker 1: to call in and get advice together, go ahead and
Speaker 1: write into Dear Chelsea Project at gmail dot com to
Speaker 1: get your questions answered. Hi, everybody, it's Chelsea and Catherine
Speaker 1: from what is the name of this podcast? Catherine, it
Speaker 1: is Dear Chelsea. I've been clearing my throat for about
Speaker 1: four and a half months, so I am going to
Speaker 1: have to get a esophagus X ray esophageal X ray
Speaker 1: to find out what the fund is in my throat.
Speaker 1: It's probably a colonel of cannabis anyway. Actually, it's really funny.
Speaker 1: My dad. This is not really funny. It's just a
Speaker 1: weird story in my family. My dad once inhaled a
Speaker 1: kernel of popcorn into his lung and he did that
Speaker 1: for a while, so hopefully it's not popcorn. I had
Speaker 1: to get like scoped out, and the doctor like almost
Speaker 1: gave up. He's like, I don't see. He's like, I
Speaker 1: know there is popcorn in my lung. You know that's
Speaker 1: funny because I I try not to smoke weed that
Speaker 1: much anymore because of this, and I think it's weed related,
Speaker 1: which it's not. I still have some sort of acid
Speaker 1: reflux or anyway, I smoked a little joint last night
Speaker 1: when Joe and I got home from Malibu. We actually
Speaker 1: went to go see John Lovett's who was the person
Speaker 1: who introduced Joe and me like seventeen years ago, and
Speaker 1: he's been taking credit for our romance ever since. So
Speaker 1: I said we should invite him to know Boo Malibu,
Speaker 1: which is where we had some dinner, and he was
Speaker 1: very excited to be out. Nice yea, that's very Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we're all excited to be out after two years.
Speaker 1: This is a little mini episode because we are on
Speaker 1: hiatus for three weeks, but I just want we have
Speaker 1: an update from some we do, from someone who has
Speaker 1: called into the show, and we wanted to share that
Speaker 1: with you guys. Yes, it's really exciting. This one is
Speaker 1: from Sarah. She wrote in a while back. She was
Speaker 1: having trouble taking compliments about the fact that she had
Speaker 1: adopted a couple of kids and was when we talked
Speaker 1: to her in the protom adopting a new one. She said,
Speaker 1: I've been able to use the advice Chelsea gave me
Speaker 1: when given compliments about my kids, and it's been great
Speaker 1: to have something deeper than thank you to say in return.
Speaker 1: One conversation I was not expecting to have was with
Speaker 1: my youngest, who was just recently adopted. It was about
Speaker 1: a month after Chelsea and I spoke, and me and
Speaker 1: my little were downstairs picking up his toys. He told
Speaker 1: me that he often thinks about how lucky and grateful
Speaker 1: he is to have found our family, and how he
Speaker 1: sometimes worries that he's only in our lives because COVID
Speaker 1: happened and we were home anyway. With a piece of
Speaker 1: my heart breaking inside, I thought about what to respond with,
Speaker 1: and then Chelsea's advice hit me. I said to him,
Speaker 1: I love that you're grateful for us, and you need
Speaker 1: to know we're grateful for you too. You are here
Speaker 1: because you are my purpose, and I was put on
Speaker 1: this earth to share your joy and to help you
Speaker 1: share yours. He looked at me and his eyes got
Speaker 1: so big, and he said, while I've never been anyone's
Speaker 1: purpose before, does that mean we're meant to be? Not
Speaker 1: just that we were forced be? As we talked, I
Speaker 1: thought more about our conversation and said, it's great for
Speaker 1: me to be able to be good at something, and
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you think I'm good at being
Speaker 1: your mom. Oh my god, what a tear girl. That
Speaker 1: conversation with him will never leave my heart. And I
Speaker 1: felt like I was armed with the best thing to
Speaker 1: say because of my talk with Chelsea. This was not
Speaker 1: the application I expected to use her advice in, but
Speaker 1: it sure was an awesome one. I cannot wait to
Speaker 1: see her on August thirteen in Calgary. I'll be the
Speaker 1: girl in the head to toe, ask Chelsea Merch, laughing
Speaker 1: my ass off. I'm sure. Thanks again for reaching out
Speaker 1: and looking forward to chatting, asked Chelsea. So, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: you had me with your letter and then you know
Speaker 1: we had to clarify at the beginning. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Oh my god, that was so sweet.
Speaker 1: What an impact everybody can have, you know, like anyone
Speaker 1: who's listening, you can have an impact on somebody just
Speaker 1: by like sitting with them and listening to them and
Speaker 1: giving them advice or like giving them strength, you know,
Speaker 1: to move on in the direction of like being empowered
Speaker 1: or sitting in your power like, what are you doing? Well?
