<v Speaker 1>Caral, She's a queen of talking. She's on the inside.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>She got the Scooper. No one can do wi, Caral, Carol,

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>No one can win quiet, Caral, Carol. I am so

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>excited to be back for my second episode of My

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>wife series. I have Hannah Moody in the house. What

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>what Hannah is married to? Say of Dan and Shay?

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is awesome that she's my second guest because

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Abby Smiers was my first guest who was married to Dan.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Of Dan and Shay, so their sister wives. They're both

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>incredible in their own right. Hannah is a freaking supermodel.

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>You see her in your jaw hits the floor because

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>she's literally per picked looking, and her soul is even sweeter.

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>She's pure love, just the brightest light, so kind and sweet.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>And Shay, her husband, is the funniest person ever. So

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>together they're just the happiest couple. Hannah grew up in

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a farm town and was super responsible from a young

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.199
<v Speaker 1>age and started raising cow calf pears. I had asked

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>her twice what that was cow calf pears where she

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 1>would buy a cow and its calf and sell them,

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>making money saving for college. She got into the pageant

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>World for scholarship money because she was so responsible that

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>she was finding ways to make money as a young person.

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>She ended up winning Mrs Arkansas because she's just that

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>amazing without even really stressing out about it or putting

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>too much pressure on it, won the whole thing. Now

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>she lives in Nashville, Ache. They have the most precious child, Asher.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, heart melting. And she and Shay just

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>have this beautiful life And I'm so happy that she's

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>joining me. You're gonna love her story. Before we kick

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it off with Hannah, I want to talk to you

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>about a brand that I'm so excited to be partnering with.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>The Ava Bracelet is a game changer for any woman

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>who is trying to conceive or just get in touch

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>with your body. This bracelet is changing the game peeing

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>on sticks, taking your temperature every day, playing the guessing

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>game with apps. It's all less than ideal to predict

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>your most fertile days, or to find out that you

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>ovulated after the fact, and then you have to wait

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>till the next month, which is so frustrating. The Ava

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Bracelet is making it easier for women than ever to

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>know their fertile window. You wear the Ava bracelet at night,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you connect to the Ava app in the morning, and

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you get insights on changes in physiological parameters that detect

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>where you are in your cycle, including your most fertile days.

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>In real time. Ava doubles your chances of conceiving each month.

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So if you're planning on growing your family, I could

<v Speaker 1>I can see why you were Mrs Arkansas Well, I

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>mean I couldn't. I would have voted for you. I

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>was the most shocked person there when I want how

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>did you get into that? Okay, because you're going to

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas for Thanksgiving? And I was like, tell me about

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>your childhood and how you gotten pageantry? And then one

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing, Well, I'm not per se of pageant, Patty. Yes,

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the thing. That's like when you grow up

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.039
<v Speaker 1>and you're literally trained for it and like your whole

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>life is to do pageants and win and become this America.

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't me. Um I did. I did do pageants

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.119
<v Speaker 1>from um, like you know, local, like when I was little,

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 1>because it was like the one time a year you

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>get to wear a pretty dress and like girls just

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>dressed up and it's cute. It was not like a

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>hardcore didn't do anything else. But then I got to

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>college and um, one of my college roommates was like,

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 1>you should do this. She was in the Miss America system.

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>She competed, and I was like, and it's a thing.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>There's professional competitors thing, it's a thing people do, interview, coaching,

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>UM talent. It's like, there's a lot that goes into it. Okay,

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>So she taught me into it. It was a preliminary

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>UM and I was like, okay, well, the worst I

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>can do is lose, and the best I can do

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>is one scholarship money. And like I had my own

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>side story on how I paid for college with my cattle. Cattle. Yes,

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>are you a farmer? Yes, I grew up on a farm.

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>What did you do on the farm. So it was

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a cattle farm. Still is um from Arkansas. And when

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I was little, I took out a loan for five

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. I was like ten or twelve, you could

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>take out a loan. It was a youth It was

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>through the Agricultural Department, and it was a youth program.

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So the interest was very little, so I took it

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>out and my dad co signed, but it was on me.

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And that were your plans with this five? I bought

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 1>six cow calf peers. Um, cow calf peers. Yes, And

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 1>this is not the first time that I have been

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>asked this question. Um, this is it is not. People

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>seem to be very interested in cow calf peers. Um.

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a mama cow and a baby cow cow calf peers,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>but you buy them as like it's like how it's

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>like the half is okay? What are you gonna do?

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>What did you do with that? Well? Um, like I

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>said about six cow calf peers, and I kept all

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the mamas and I sold the babies, and I just, um,

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I saved all the money I would make. Um, and

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>we I still have. I still have cattle. Um. I

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>built up my herd a little bit, but every time

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I would sell, I saved that money away. And then

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>by the time I got to college, paired with scholarships

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and that money, I was debt free. How did you

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>even know to do that? I just really, how did

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you know to plan for your future? I was just

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and um,

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not like we had them all nearby. It was

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>three hours away, so that wasn't an option. And I

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>just loved the idea of saving my money. I was

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a weird little kid, I guess, but that is so

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>financially responsible young. I mean, looking back, I'm like, dang,

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I nailed it. Like what happened to that? Um? Are

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you still selling cow cap? I do my Actually, my

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>mom just ticked to me this week and she was like, oh,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>we just sold another one of your calves. And I

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, great, So you've had a job since your

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>ten Yes? Basically were your parents so proud of you?

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I think they were pretty proud of My

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>mom never wanted me to. Um, she didn't want me

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to have like a job at sixteen that took away

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>from my school work because she obviously wanted me to,

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, focus on my grades. And I was in

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>every extra curricular what the most? What did I like?

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I literally did everything. I played softball, I played basketball.

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I was in f f A, um f c A,

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>um F b l A. How does that b l A?

0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Future Business Leaders of America. I was in art club, UB,

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I was in Spanish, I was in history. You name it.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>If there was a club for it, I was in it.

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>So you just like to be involved. I just did

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>it all. I like to do everything. You're I am

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:13.319
<v Speaker 1>like a jack of what is it? A jack of all? None? Well,

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I walk into your house today and there's this gigantic

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>canvas in the corner with this beautiful tree in gold,

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>with like all of this like texture on it, and

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, did you freaking paint that? You're like, oh, yeah, yeah,

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I just I dabble. I Well, when I went to college,

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't clear because I knew I don't want to

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>look around. But I in my heart, I'm a creative person,

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and so I knew photography or something art related was

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>what I wanted to do. But the practical me, you know,

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the one to save money for college, Yes, the practical

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>me was like that probably isn't great with the with

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the economy right now. So I chose something a little

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>bit more practical and was just I graduated to graduate.

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>What was your major? M I ended up? I ended

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>up the degree in consumer sciencess just because I was

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I literally went in after I won Miss Arkansas. Okay,

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>so how did you get in that? Your friend made

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you get in miss Arkansas. She yes, that was my

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that was my freshman year. And I was like, you know,

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the worst I could do is lose. The best second

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>do is win scholarship money and help, you know, pay

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>this college, pay for college. And already had address and

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>from like homecoming or something, and I just address you

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>already had yes, you're not making this your life school

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.079
<v Speaker 1>to go find the perfect dress. Definitely not. I literally

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>had to type of a platform and um and hope

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>with the best. So I was typing of a platform

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and like, what are you going to stand for if

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you win? Yes? And what were you going to stand Well?

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>At the time, it was sustainable agriculture because I grew

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>up on a farm. So that was the whole spuele

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>um that changed through the years. But I did that

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>first pageant, and I had to have a talent. Oh okay,

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and what what just know that in the America system, um,

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and this I kind of get on a soapbox about

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>this because I love of the fact that pageants are

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>about empowering women and they're about scholarship. Um. I mean

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that is the foundation is empowering women and um, you know,

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>providing scholarship money to further their education. That was the

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>whole principle. That was the whole point for me. Um.

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Then I got into it and realized that the different

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 1>types of pageants, the different organizations kind of turn up

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.839
<v Speaker 1>their nose at each other because they just they're a

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>little different. And like America versus USA. Okay, you're doing America.

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I was doing America at the time, and USA doesn't

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>have to have a talent exactly. Um. In fact, and

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>so I did this pageant and I sang. I tempted

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to saying I didn't sing. Well, it's not not a

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>good thing. Don't you ask me to. But I did.

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I sang Carrie Underwood, I think, and some big shoes

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to fill. Um, I told you so it was yes,

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you can't, I hope you can't. I'm gonna go as

0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>soon as you leave, and trying to block it all. Um.

0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>So I did that, and I actually placed, and I

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>mean I was shocked, and I'm pretty sure my roommate

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>was shocked. And anyway, but also what place did you

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 1>get like third rounder up or something that's freaking awesome.

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a big pat It was an open pageant,

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>so there were a lot of girls in it and

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>for my first one ever, I mean was freaking awesome.

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, Okay, well I can do this.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll work on it a little bit, right, So

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I ended up doing interview coaching UM for a couple

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of years, and I even went to a vocal coach

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>and bless her heart, a lever to pieces, but she

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>was just more of more of moral support to me.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Then there's nothing she could do with me. You know,

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that. Well, uh so I did that,

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and I went on to compete in Miss Arkansas, America

0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of years, very very competit of I

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>will say that the South is like the sec A pageantry.

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It's tough. It's tough like their career pageant girls they are,

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and and these women like you will you will not

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>come up against other women that are more qualified for

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>being state representatives. It's wow. Um. But you know the

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>way that the scoring was in that system, UM talent

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 1>is one of the highest scores, So you really got

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.679
<v Speaker 1>to work on that. Carryunerwoids and you know, here's the thing,

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this is my soapbox. I'm just gonna let's get this

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>off my chest and let it. Let it Okay. My

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>My thing is, I think everyone on this earth has

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.959
<v Speaker 1>a talent. I think we're all gifted. Yes, I think

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that people are are loving or patient, or

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>they have a spirit of a teacher. Um. But it

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>does not necessarily mean I mean, they may be athletes.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I played sports. I wasn't a dancer. Um, I didn't

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.239
<v Speaker 1>play an instrument and so but for this system in particular,

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you had to have a nineties second talent. And I

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, that's the thing. You're like, not all talents

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you can perform exactly exactly it was. It was not.

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I had a lot of talents, but

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>they weren't something that provided entertainment value necessarily. True that

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>great distinction, and um, you know, while it's a wonderful system,

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I just I finally had someone tell me one time.

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>They're like, you're just you're you should really think about

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>going into Miss USA because they don't require talent. And

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, well there's my son, Like thanks,

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, but I knew it, and so did

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you stick with America go to Miss USA? You know?

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I that last year that I did America, I trained

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:58.479
<v Speaker 1>really hard. Um, I really worked on my body um. Absolutely.

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>For two years I was I was so fit. I'm

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not talking skinny. I'm talking I had muscle tone and

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 1>ate very healthy and was it wasn't I don't know.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.479
<v Speaker 1>I think you can look at pageant girls and think, oh,

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I was just so healthy. Um. And I was proud

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of that. And I had worked really hard for those

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>two years. And after I competed that year and didn't

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>do anything, I was like, you know, I'm going to

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>sign up for Arkansas USA because my body is already there. Um.

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And it was like a few months away, already ready.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I was ready. UM. I was like, and this is

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it if you know, if nothing happens, that's fine. I'm

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>done with pageants now. You know, this was your sponsor.

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>This was my last hurrah. And I wasn't sad about it.

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, God's got a plan for me, and

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>if this isn't it, that's fine because I've won scholarship

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>money and I have now been prepared for interviews you know,

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>after college, and had friendships and it's a win win

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>all the way across the win. I was like, all right, well,

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>let me just go over here to USA and see

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>what happens. And I one the thing. How was that?

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>How does that feel? When you win? I didn't even

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 1>tell anyone I was in it. We didn't even tell

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>my family. I don't think my dad even knew. You. Literally,

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>it was my mom and one of my cousins and

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>um one of our sweet friends from from that area

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that the pageant was held in. And didn't even didn't

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>tell anyone else because you just were just doing it.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I was just doing I didn't have any expectation. I

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>was just like, God, you got this. That's probably the

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>way to do it, not putting so much pressure. I

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>think that was it, honestly a win in And the

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>thing that they told me after, you know, when they

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.239
<v Speaker 1>gave feedback, they were like, you were just so genuine

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and it was not desperate for it, right, It wasn't rehearsed.

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 1>It was just me going in and I was comfortable because,

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I had no expectation. So I did

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>a one the thing? And how does that feel? What

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>happens when you win? Are either on a big tour

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>around the stage, well, I took off half a semester

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.439
<v Speaker 1>because it was I did travel a lot. Um. I

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.679
<v Speaker 1>went just fun. It was fun. It was fun and

0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I've never considered myself like a speaker per se. This

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 1>drives Mom crazy. I'm a fly by the seat of

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.119
<v Speaker 1>my pants kind of person. I don't prepare speeches. And

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>every time I went somewhere, Mom would say, do you

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>know what you're gonna say? And I was like, I'll

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 1>say it when I get up there, which I don't

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>recommend for everyone. UM, and I had talking points, I guess,

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>but I just wanted to flow out of you. I did.

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.719
<v Speaker 1>And you're comfortable in front of people. I surprisingly, I

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>am like, I'm a pretty quiet person, but I guess

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>when you put me up there and one on one,

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I can talk your head off. So sorry, I love it, UM.

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 1>And actually I traveled around, I talked to lots of kids, UM,

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of schools, and I got to tell them,

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you're all gifted, you know, And that's kind of the

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 1>message you wanted to because you were sort of you

0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>rubbed a little bit wrong with the whole talent thing,

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.919
<v Speaker 1>and it was and you're all talented, right, And I

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.160
<v Speaker 1>love that. And I again, I'm so for any any

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>organization that that allows UM scholarships for furthering one's education.

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>And so I just hated, you know, for me to

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like I, you know, I wasn't talented, yes, just

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.280
<v Speaker 1>because this I didn't fit in the box of these

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>entertainment talents. Yes. So I traveled and I was like, kids,

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 1>don't let anyone tell you like you might be an athlete,

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.919
<v Speaker 1>you might be a sweetheart, you might be a teacher,

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 1>you might be a sweetheart. I love that it takes.

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>It takes all kinds. I think we're all gifted, and

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.639
<v Speaker 1>so I just I just took that out there, and

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that was your big message. That was my message. I

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>told you Hannah was the sweetest person on the face

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 1>of earth. She wants everyone to find their talent and

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be something that you can perform.

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.439
<v Speaker 1>I just love her sweet soul and what her message is. Oh,

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>she's so precious. So, speaking of messages, I talked to

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.679
<v Speaker 1>you guys about Care of Vitamins at the beginning of

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 1>this episode. I'm gonna talk to you about them again.

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I love Care of Vitamins because it makes taking your

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>vitamins so easy. It's a monthly subscription. They deliver it

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>right to your door. They personalize the vitamin pacts based

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 1>on your specific diet. Health goals, lifestyle choices. You get

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a package with your name on it. It shows up

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 1>so cute and so easy. You can just throw it

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.399
<v Speaker 1>in your purse, throw it in your pocket, take it

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>getting everything you need for you in particular, which I

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>think is amazing. So another thing I love is a

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>portion of every single sale goes towards the Good Foundation,

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:41.200

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:28.639
<v Speaker 1>to be on the stick? Who wants to take your

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 1>temperature every day? Not me? I love the Ava bracelet

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>because all you gotta do is wear it at night

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.679
<v Speaker 1>and then when you wake up in the morning, you

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 1>connect to your app, your Ava app, and it gives

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.600

<v Speaker 1>So here is Hannah. I love that. Yeah, have you

<v Speaker 1>everyone is so special. That's just how you feel. I do.

0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I do, And honestly, um, I was that quiet kid.

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I was so quiet I was. I was just taking

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 1>it all in. I was no. I was like a

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:44.200
<v Speaker 1>push over my whole life, really, I mean, and they

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 1>I never want siblings. I did. I'm the baby. You're

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of just like, there's all these older people always

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>doing just life and you're just kind of hanging on

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>my brother. Oh my gosh, my brother such an athlete

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:00.399
<v Speaker 1>and so good looking. And I was just like I

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>always joked my sisters about biochemist. Okay, so there's a

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 1>lot going to got her master's degree, like she's got

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>her doctorates, and I'm like over here, always joked and

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like on the leftover parts. I thought that way.

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:15.959
<v Speaker 1>I was the youngest one. I always felt like I

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>was I could never compare to my older sister because

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>she was just the greatest. And I was like, I

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think I'm really good at anything. Yes, and look

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>here we are like both of us are like Jack.

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.439
<v Speaker 1>You know Jack well, And you also wrote that on

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>your Instagram. I told you before we started this interview,

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.679
<v Speaker 1>I was talking you hard on your Instagram. But you

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.959
<v Speaker 1>said how you really relate to broken people and you

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.159
<v Speaker 1>feel like those are your favorite type of people because

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.439
<v Speaker 1>and I feel that same way, because there's just no

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>air of trying to be perfect. You just put it

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>out in the beginning. Listen, here's my stuff. I mean

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that's how that's how I tried to scare you off. Yeah,

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I know, you said part one a party, tell me

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 1>about how you try to scare him off. I did.

0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I literally had gone through too much UM in my

0:23:00.880 --> 0:23:03.919
<v Speaker 1>relationship life, and I was in this this I call

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it my still um season. To me about that, I

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.119
<v Speaker 1>feel like I've been in that season. Yes, it's kind

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of a weird season. It's a weird season, but also

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a good place. UM. I think a lot

0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>of times girls and young women are out there and

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>they feel like they need someone or they feel desperate

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to feel that that void. And I kind of came

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to not necessarily rock bottom, but I just came to

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a point where I was like, and what did that

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>all stem from? Like a relationship and I had gone

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>through a really really really bad relationship for years even

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was trying to get away from it. Um.

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:45.679
<v Speaker 1>It was very toxic. Um. I won't go into all

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the details, but it was just very toxic and I

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was trying to get away hard, to get out of

0:23:49.960 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>those two. It was so I'm actually moved a couple

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:57.440
<v Speaker 1>of times and he found me like I needed distance.

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I need a lot of distance, and I just needed

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>some time too. And I was in that author college

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.360
<v Speaker 1>so from twenty to like twenty two, so the majority

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of your like college career, college was in a very

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>controlling relationship. And so I got out of that, and um,

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know I was about to graduate. I didn't

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 1>have a place to live, I didn't know who I

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 1>was going to live with. I didn't have a job

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>lined up. Um, I just it was kind of this

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:32.040
<v Speaker 1>place where you're like, what am I doing totally? And

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I know we all do it. I'm still doing it,

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I know. I think the older you get thrown the

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 1>more even through it there just it's not quite as

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 1>scary when you hit that still season again, you know,

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>because like the first time you hit it, you're like,

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:47.240
<v Speaker 1>for me at least, like I'm so dramatic with my

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>feelings that it like sends me to depression. My life

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:52.679
<v Speaker 1>is over. No, And I was I was, I and

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I and i've i've I'm familiar with that place. What

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>do you do when you're at that place? Because you

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>this still season, you turned into something peaceful and beautiful?

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you do when it's not peaceful and beautiful? Literally?

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 1>And I know this is cliche, but I just took

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 1>it to God. And I know there's a saying and

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know, when there's when you can't go

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>down any further, the only place you can do is

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 1>look up or something like that, and it's it's true.

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And I literally was like, I'm tired and I give up,

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and you've got it and whatever happens, Like I don't

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>even have an idea of what can happen. I'm just stuck,

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.919
<v Speaker 1>like just let the standstill. And I was like, you

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:36.360
<v Speaker 1>take it because I'm so tired and that's all I think,

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>that's all he wanted for me. And just like that, Um,

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 1>you really handed it over. I did you feel it

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 1>at least? Yes? I let it go. And it that's

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>so hard. It's so hard. There's just to let go

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of all that control. There's there's a quote and I

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 1>say all the time, and it's it's a prayer actually,

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 1>and it's Lord, forgive me for picking back up what

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I laid down at your feet. And you know, we're

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>always picking that back up. You know, we're always like, oh,

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>but I think I've got an idea for how to

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 1>handle this, and let me just do that. And I

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 1>got it, like, let me just take that back. Kristen

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Brest and I talked about that all the time and

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we're like, Okay, we tell like God, we're handing this over.

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>But then we'll call each other and be like, yeah,

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I just tried to take it back all the stuff

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>from God, because I'm better controlling it than obviously obviously,

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I've really got it all figured out, really working out.

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>When I did I control it? Um, But I did.

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:32.719
<v Speaker 1>I was just to the point where I was tired

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't. I was like, you got it, like

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you're just done. All of a sudden, I just things

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 1>fell into place, okay, Like what found Um, I found

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a roommate, I found a place to live, and they're

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 1>still in Arkansas, yes, but I was in central Arkansas

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and I moved to Northwest Arkansas, three or four hours away.

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>So I found a roommate and a place to live

0:26:57.200 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>in Northwest Arkansas, I found a job. Um. I actually

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 1>stayed with my old boss until I so our lease

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>was up with my roommate at the time. Our lease

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was up in a month. But I graduated college two

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>weeks after. Okay, so I was essentially going to be

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 1>homeless for two weeks. UM, and I didn't know where

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to say. But my boss that I worked for, um

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:29.400
<v Speaker 1>all through college. She's like my bestie, Miss Joeanne. She's

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 1>like seventy and we're spirit animals. Um, what do you

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.199
<v Speaker 1>love about Mr? Jow? She's just she calls me the

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 1>daughter she never had. She has two sons, but I

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 1>just she's literally me when I grew up, and we

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>just we all through college for like three or four years.

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 1>We just were there for each other through a lot. UM.

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I stayed with her and we were roomies. That's freaking.

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing. It was like, what did you what

0:27:56.440 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 1>did what happened in those two weeks that you lived

0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 1>with Miss joint I actually lived with her throughout the

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>rest of that year. I paid rent for my place

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in Northwest Arkansas, and I helped her close at per shop.

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>So what did you learn living with her? What did

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you take away? Because she was much older, but y'are

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>she was, but we're so Sam. Would you gather about

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 1>life that she taught you? Oh? Man, she just has

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 1>this infectious joy, always just keeps the joys just bubbly,

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 1>just so bubbly. And actually called her up last week

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.800
<v Speaker 1>just to talk and I was like, miss Joeyan, how

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 1>are you? And she's just filling me in on life

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and and she just I just I just love her piece.

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 1>How people keep that infectious joy? Do you think it

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.280
<v Speaker 1>has to be through faith? Because I know you're really faithful.

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I am. But it's funny that you asked me that

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>because this week I was listening to a sermon on

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:52.719
<v Speaker 1>this spirits that the gifts the spirit. Yes, thank you.

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 1>My brain is foggy and asher snapping, and I've got

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of tabs open, a lot of I'm gonna

0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 1>take that, a lot of tabs open um, yes, the

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>fruit of the spirit. And in the sermon, he was like,

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, everyone has at least one, but no one

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>has all of them. And I was kind of going

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>through the list and I was like, I know, I've

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 1>got this one and this one. I think at this one,

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:17.000
<v Speaker 1>but I got to joy and I was like, I

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think I have it like other people, Like I

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 1>think you have joy. I know you have joy. You see.

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel that way the saying that you feel because

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I look at you and you you radiate light and

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you're so easy, easy going, and like you post all

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>these very uplifting comments and real and you're open. But

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:37.120
<v Speaker 1>to me, like for me, I just sometimes feel burdened

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>by all my feelings, Like I have so many feelings

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 1>feelings that they hurt my feelings. Like sometimes I like

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm so heavy with my feelings. I get it. And

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, Kristen and we've been on the

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>angiogram what nine. I'm a peacemaker. I literally want world best. Oh,

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And that's a hard thing to want and to try

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to keep that going, especially you're job to bring the

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>peace to everyone. It is, it's so hard. And I'm

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 1>like a mom now and it's like I just want

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>us all to be happy. How do you deal with

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>like all of the okay, because like we're just entering

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:15.720
<v Speaker 1>into like trying to have babies in all that world

0:30:15.760 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and I feel like even just like getting

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 1>all the advice from mothers that are gone through it,

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 1>people who are pregnant. There's like a million people with

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>a million different ways to do it. So how do

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you have confidence? I've realized I don't have confidence with

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 1>my own self. That's I think that's the I think

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that's the ticket. How do you get that confidence? I

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have confidence. It's really let me just tell you

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>about my my birth story. I think that that just

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>sums up what. Yes, Okay, I like, I know I'm

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna like it. I didn't have a birthing plan, So

0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 1>why do people need a birthing plan? Well, I don't know.

0:30:51.000 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I've I've I'm not a hype a person. It's just

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I just blobed by the same of

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>my pand but doesn't it usually not go according to

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 1>plan exactly? And I'm like, why would you have a plan?

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 1>You know it's probably not gonna wants to get all

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>disappointed and get your feathers all ruffled. So you kind

0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of went in there and you're like, I'm gonna let

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Asher tell me what he needs. Whatever my body says,

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what's gonna happen. It's going to get this baby here.

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I literally read all these blogs and all these moms

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>were like, well, this was my plan, but this is

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 1>not how it happened, all of them, all of them.

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well, then, why am I going

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to make a plan. Why I set yourself up for disappointment?

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 1>So I went in and it's my last check up

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>before his due date, which was the following day, and

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, by the way she was like, everything

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 1>looks good. And I was like, well, by the way

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>he slowed down, he hasn't been kicking as much. She

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>was like, all right, well, let's have you monitored. So

0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 1>she had me monitored. The nurse comes in and she

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>asked me how my contractions are. And I'm like, but

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>you're in labor and I'm like do you mean? Like

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>what do you mean? And she was like she was like,

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you're contractions and I was like, I'm having them and

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>she was like looking at a little paper that's coming

0:32:06.920 --> 0:32:08.239
<v Speaker 1>out of the monitor and she was like there are

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>three minutes apart. What does that mean? And I was like,

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't dilated, so what happens now? Right? Well? That

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>was my question? So like do I stay here of

0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 1>my giving birthdays? Yeah? And she was like well, so

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 1>she brought my doctor and she was like Hannah even contracting.

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like, what if this is contracting.

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess I've been doing it for two days because

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>she's been feeling something. It was just like shortness of breath.

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I was literally like the woman on um what to

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 1>expect when expecting when she like hiccups and has the

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>baby and she can't feel the contractions. I didn't feel anything.

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess, but she was like, well, come

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 1>in in the morning, put you on potos and drip

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and like see if we can get you, like can

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>like really dilated, because I wasn't dilated, not even have

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 1>an inch or not even have a centimeter. It's yes, okay,

0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And so next day went in, started potosan at eight

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, all the way until one and nothing.

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Nothing happened. And I told her, I was like, I

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>have a high pain. No one since she was just

0:33:12.720 --> 0:33:16.920
<v Speaker 1>looking at me like you crazy person. So she was like,

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, well, if nothing happens, by we're gonna go

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 1>ahead and into a c section. And I was like, okay, great,

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 1>my mom had a c section, so I was kind

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 1>of mentally prepared. I was like, my body does a

0:33:28.680 --> 0:33:31.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of the things her body does, so you're like,

0:33:31.200 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, that's fine. And literally I had a C

0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 1>section and my best friend was in the room, Lacy,

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and she you know, was taking pictures and she was

0:33:38.880 --> 0:33:41.120
<v Speaker 1>just like she was in the room. I was proud

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he like didn't pass out or anything. Isn't that funny

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that the guys like you're the one in labor, but

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the guys are like the ones like stressing out. Yes,

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>but in this case, I think he had He probably

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 1>had like a good, good reason to be because I

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.560
<v Speaker 1>was sliced open and he was seeing all the things.

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a lot to see. Yeah, I didn't

0:33:57.200 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 1>see it because there was a curtain. So I'm just like,

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>my body's being jerked around. And she was just like,

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:05.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't that crazy what happens to the female bodies? Wild?

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Was it? Did it feel wild when what was happening?

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 1>But it did because I couldn't feel it, but I

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:13.640
<v Speaker 1>could feel my body being kind of tugged around. Yeah,

0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and knowing that, knowing what was happening, when the curtain

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>comes down, there's going to be a baby that was

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 1>living in uyes. That's crazy. In fact, they they like, uh,

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the anesthesiologists put my hands he was like, I'm gonna

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:30.359
<v Speaker 1>put these um these um He was trying to think

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of a gentle way to say it, but he was

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>going to handcuft me to the to the bighball and

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:39.440
<v Speaker 1>so what did he call him? He called him He

0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, I'm going to put these soft um locks

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 1>on your hands. Yeah, these soft braces, and I'm like

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>cutlets and he was like, wow, that's nice. You could

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 1>tell the next patient was going to hear the word

0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 1>cutlets because he was like this is that sounds really pleasant? Cutlets?

0:34:53.760 --> 0:34:56.560
<v Speaker 1>And so he's like, you know, just in case, you know,

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.479
<v Speaker 1>you jerk or react or anything. I'm like, okay, Well,

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 1>when the baby came out, When Asher came out, they

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 1>like pulled him up and I'm like laying there. She

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 1>scoops him up. He was crying and she talked to

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>him and he was like, Daddy's here. Immediately stopped crying.

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:15.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like looking at him. I can't see because

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:17.760
<v Speaker 1>she's over there and I'm like strapped at the table

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, excuse me, hello, can I see you?

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Literally there's a picture of me like in the background,

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like look, She's like so proud and

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 1>he's like, got the baby, and I'm like, anybody, anybody,

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 1>anybody hello? Hello? Yeah? So that was great. That was great.

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But all that to say, sometimes no plan is the

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.480
<v Speaker 1>best plan. I'm not saying everything. I think if you

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:48.320
<v Speaker 1>want to start a business, you should probably have a

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 1>business plan. Don't be crazy, um, but just for things

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like that, maybe just bliss is more. I love hearing

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:03.560
<v Speaker 1>women tell their stories about getting pregnant having their babies.

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 1>How amazing is Hannah telling her store with the couplets,

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. And I love how she said sometimes

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>having no plan is the best plan. And I think

0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that is the way to do it. Be relaxed, like

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't stress out. I think something that helps to

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>not stress out is to understand when your fertile window is.

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I am such an advocate for this

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Ava bracelet because all of us women who are wanting

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:26.759
<v Speaker 1>to have babies, we do all the different things, paying

0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 1>on the sticks, taking your temperature, to try to figure

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 1>out when you're ovulating, when that fertile window is. AVA

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>bracelet is making it so easy. All you gotta do

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:35.439
<v Speaker 1>is put this bracelet on when you go to sleep

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:37.319
<v Speaker 1>at night. You connect to the Ava app in the

0:36:37.320 --> 0:36:39.319
<v Speaker 1>morning and you get all the insights that you need

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:42.360
<v Speaker 1>on your fertile window. It doubles your chances of conceiving.

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:44.360
<v Speaker 1>So I am such a fan of the a A bracelet.

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I wear it. If you want to grow your family,

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.480

<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Thank you. I have to say, that's kind

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:19.240
<v Speaker 1>of a new thing. Um. I have always been writing

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:22.319

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.400
<v Speaker 1>at expressing your thoughts. Thank you. I do much better

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 1>on paper than I do um verbally. So I was

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of nervous about today, were yes, I was. I

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 1>just I like to articulate. I like to I like

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 1>to put it to paper and like read it and

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:41.040
<v Speaker 1>then edit it. Huh. I think you're flawless speaker, so

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 1>even caffeine in me. So it's it's going well for

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a now. Um, but definitely got that from from my parents,

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>and I know she got his from his and so well,

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:53.799
<v Speaker 1>And what is it like being married to Shake because

0:37:53.840 --> 0:38:00.200
<v Speaker 1>he's the funniest person seven. Yes, they're just for the

0:38:00.239 --> 0:38:02.200
<v Speaker 1>party people like all one step people around all the

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 1>time the time, peoples to hang out all the time.

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Michael's really funny, but Shay is like his humor, his

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 1>next level laugh. I was not trying to date Shane Mooney,

0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 1>but like when we did text, I was just like

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:18.120
<v Speaker 1>me and this guy's so funny. And I never would

0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:20.319
<v Speaker 1>have admitted that to him. All my friends were like,

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:22.920
<v Speaker 1>look at you, and I'm like, oh, and you have

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to say how you beat down your walls? He did?

0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 1>He did well. He was just mostly he was patient.

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I had. I had really gone through it in past relationships,

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.919
<v Speaker 1>and I was in that that Still season. Oh yes, yes,

0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:36.800
<v Speaker 1>so were circling back to this so the Still season.

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.759
<v Speaker 1>But you're okay with it. It wasn't bad still, you

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.720
<v Speaker 1>like happy with yourself. My friends were a girlfriend, aren't

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 1>you freaking out? You like don't have a job, you

0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know where you're gonna live, And they're like, no,

0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 1>God's got it. Okay. That I'm gonna I'm sort of

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:51.839
<v Speaker 1>trying to come out of a still season, and I'm

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:54.680
<v Speaker 1>just like, Okay, God, I need to let him have it. Though,

0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 1>let him have it, because I'll say this, I wasn't

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.560
<v Speaker 1>ready to come out. I was so comfortable. I was like,

0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 1>this is wonderful. Shay came bebopping along, and I could

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 1>literally feel God trying to kick me out of the nest.

0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:08.480
<v Speaker 1>When it's not just anybody bebopping around. It's like the

0:39:08.600 --> 0:39:12.239
<v Speaker 1>most big personality bebopper ever. So it's like you're about

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to go big here. Yes, but totally he wasn't my type. Okay,

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 1>what was your type? Norm My type was six four

0:39:19.400 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 1>football player. Um yeah, like giant athletic men were my type.

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.200
<v Speaker 1>And then here comes Shay with a voice of an angel.

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>He has the best voice ever. And again I never

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.279
<v Speaker 1>would have told anyone listening. He's in Dan and Jay.

0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 1>He is the shape of Dan and Jay um Man.

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 1>The first time I met him was at a concert.

0:39:43.000 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I just went because it was in the town that

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I lived in, and I could tell he was scanning

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:51.839
<v Speaker 1>the crowd for me all night. He was he was,

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 1>and he looked at me. I was perched because I'm

0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a perchare I like to sit and like perch from like,

0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you just knew he was looking for you, even though

0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I had met well, because he was wanting he wanted

0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to see me after he'd been We had been in

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>communication for a couple of years, off and on, just

0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:12.239
<v Speaker 1>as happends, because Arkansas is a small place, um and

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>so social media, you know, every every once in a while,

0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 1>he would drop a line and be like, hey, I

0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 1>forever in Nashville, and I was like whatever, and you know,

0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he just happened to be. He just happened to be

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:27.719
<v Speaker 1>in town. And so I went and he you know,

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I told him and he knew I was coming, and

0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:32.279
<v Speaker 1>he wanted me to come hang out after and I

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, well we'll see. So I could tell

0:40:36.960 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 1>he's just looking for me in the crowd, found me

0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:41.880
<v Speaker 1>at the very end and just lit up like a

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Christmas draws. Are you serious? I just it was a

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.560
<v Speaker 1>small room, so you could, you know, I contact kind

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of things. And he was after you from the start.

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He was after me, and I was stressed about it.

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, boy, I'm not trying to day me

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and Jesus, you know, we got this and so he

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:00.799
<v Speaker 1>asked me that night to be his date to the

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:03.560
<v Speaker 1>A C M. S in Dallas the next month, and

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.719
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'll go as your friend. I was like,

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been through too much to date someone that is

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 1>once again in you know, the spotlight and industry, like

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 1>this lifestyle that athletes are in and like singers, and

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I've never dated a singer. But I was like, I

0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think I want to be a part of that

0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 1>at all. It doesn't sound good. It sounds like it

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:28.360
<v Speaker 1>could be a lot of yes rods yes, and so

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>um I went with him, and that leakend, you know

0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 1>when when the awards weren't happening. It was like a

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 1>two day long thing and we had a lot of

0:41:39.040 --> 0:41:42.360
<v Speaker 1>time to talk and he just kept pestering me to

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:44.840
<v Speaker 1>to let down my walls, just kind of like poking

0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 1>at me, like, no, these walls. I've been a lot

0:41:47.280 --> 0:41:49.360
<v Speaker 1>of years build on these walls and cozy inside of

0:41:49.400 --> 0:41:52.879
<v Speaker 1>this fortress. Yes, like I let these walls off, are you? Yeah?

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Not at all? I was like, no, good And oh,

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:00.759
<v Speaker 1>he just he wanted me to be his girlfriend. He's

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:04.799
<v Speaker 1>going to be so embarrassing, I mean, And I was

0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:08.640
<v Speaker 1>just like no. But finally he just haven't. I was

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:11.520
<v Speaker 1>not having no, he wasn't having no. And I finally

0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:13.799
<v Speaker 1>got so annoyed. How good did it feel to be

0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>that person? And I mean, looking back, I'm like, that

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:21.000
<v Speaker 1>was I need I needed that. You needed someone too? Hut?

0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I did? I did um. But I finally got so

0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:26.719
<v Speaker 1>annoyed that I was just like, Okay, you know what,

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what I think. This is the next

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:32.280
<v Speaker 1>person I date. I'm going to marry the next person

0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I date. They're gonna lead by family, he's gonna be

0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a man of Christ, and we're gonna send our relationship there.

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:43.040
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, I'm just I'm not going to settle.

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, sorry if I sound like a

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 1>bubble dumper, but I've just dealt with too much. I

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do games. I don't like I'm ready,

0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and usually saying any of those things, are you're prepared

0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>to scare him right off? Man? I was trying, You're like,

0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.440
<v Speaker 1>this is it like piter down the gauntlet? Was like

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:02.839
<v Speaker 1>I laid it all out there and I was like,

0:43:03.480 --> 0:43:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, you go dropped the mic. That boy's eyes

0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 1>lit up. He's like, this is what I was dying

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to hear he had been waiting to hear those words

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:14.719
<v Speaker 1>his whole life. He was literally I saw it in

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:17.879
<v Speaker 1>his face and my stomach just dropped. And when he left,

0:43:18.400 --> 0:43:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I called up my best friend and I was like,

0:43:19.880 --> 0:43:26.840
<v Speaker 1>oh ma, I was like, he loves me. Oh Ashure

0:43:26.920 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 1>woke up. Should I go get him? I probably can't talk.

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll go get him in a minute. It was okay.

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:35.040
<v Speaker 1>She's literally letting him cry. Suk in here and thinking

0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:44.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll come in anybody anyway. But she's the one. Man,

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 1>He's my person. God knew what he was doing. Maybe

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't my type per se, but he is everything.

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 1>And more so, what is it that you love so

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:53.239
<v Speaker 1>much about Shae? And how have y'all made it work

0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:55.839
<v Speaker 1>in this crazy life? Because it's not for this life

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:58.440
<v Speaker 1>isn't for everyone, it's not, but it's also And you know,

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't Sometimes I say didn't choose it, but I

0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:04.239
<v Speaker 1>chose sha and and this is what he was put

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:06.360
<v Speaker 1>on earth to do, man, and I wouldn't change that

0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 1>for anything. He just this is what he was born

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:12.520
<v Speaker 1>to do. And I love him and I love anything

0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that he loves, you know, And there's you know, has

0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it been fun watching it evolved and see his dreams

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:21.399
<v Speaker 1>come true? And like you being a part of this

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:24.600
<v Speaker 1>whole ride and experience, and I mean being a part

0:44:24.640 --> 0:44:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of the career like your wedding was in the song speechless.

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Has that been fun to let it be this like

0:44:30.880 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>group thing to it because the wives have been very

0:44:35.000 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>included in this journey we have if we have, and

0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:40.839
<v Speaker 1>it's been crazy because again, like I didn't ask for it,

0:44:40.960 --> 0:44:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I think a lot of people probably think, oh, well,

0:44:44.120 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, these girls are trying to catch them a singer,

0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, no, no, But we we chose them,

0:44:52.080 --> 0:44:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and we chose their hearts and we chose to love

0:44:54.840 --> 0:44:56.440
<v Speaker 1>them and all the things that they love to do,

0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:59.640
<v Speaker 1>which is this. And so it has been fun and

0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:02.359
<v Speaker 1>it's been and it's been a blessing to be able

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to see that growth because we have kind of been there.

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I know, Abby Abbey has been there for two years

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:10.480
<v Speaker 1>before I came along, two or three years or I mean,

0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:15.000
<v Speaker 1>she's she's she's seen him since the radio tour days,

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>and then I came along shortly after and then things

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 1>just picked up from there. It's been it's been a whild.

0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:25.239
<v Speaker 1>What have you loved about this entertainment whirlwind? And what's

0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:31.280
<v Speaker 1>been the high and the low? I think, man, there's

0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot of alone time for me, which you know,

0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, that's probably for the best. Shae Shaye.

0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:43.040
<v Speaker 1>He is the people person. He gets to be out

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>there and do the things that just you know, fill

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:50.600
<v Speaker 1>him up. They feel his tank and I enjoy hometown.

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I love being alone, man, I love it. This is

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:57.960
<v Speaker 1>like my jam right here, like I love it Michael

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.319
<v Speaker 1>when he's home. He's also seven on the Instagram, I'm

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.400
<v Speaker 1>afore I'm a romantic, which I feel like it is

0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the worst sign. So it's not deep and emotional. I'm

0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a n the side of way. I'm a nan with

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the side of two and wars so helper and um romantic.

0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm on four with the side of one. Perfectionist, the worst,

0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not the worst, but just like a little

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:24.399
<v Speaker 1>bit off. You need a little bit of of the

0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't organize well, I don't plan. I can help

0:46:28.719 --> 0:46:30.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of you in my life, but I'm like,

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm so emotional, but then trying to control everything on

0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:35.600
<v Speaker 1>top of it. You're like You're like I needed all

0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to be perfect within all the feelings, all the feelings.

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, but um, what was I saying? What we're

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 1>talking about being alone? I love being alone. Like Michael,

0:46:46.280 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>he's home, He's gonna be alone for thirty minutes, and

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:51.440
<v Speaker 1>then he's like calling up friends, trying to figure out

0:46:51.440 --> 0:46:53.720
<v Speaker 1>something to do. I want to have someone over to grills.

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>He gets off the road and he's like, let's have

0:46:56.080 --> 0:46:57.600
<v Speaker 1>people over or night. And I'm like, and not just

0:46:57.640 --> 0:47:00.400
<v Speaker 1>have you for a second with Michael, and I'm like,

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:03.200
<v Speaker 1>he has made me so much more social. And here's

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I love people. Yes, I love people, But

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I think back to what you ask about the struggle,

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:12.800
<v Speaker 1>like the good and the bad. I think the hardest

0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:17.680
<v Speaker 1>thing has been for us to figure out a healthy balance, um,

0:47:17.760 --> 0:47:20.000
<v Speaker 1>so that I do get that one on one time

0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:22.920
<v Speaker 1>with him, and he also gets filled because he doesn't

0:47:22.920 --> 0:47:24.399
<v Speaker 1>get to see his friends when he's on the road,

0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and so we both need different things. But I need

0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:29.279
<v Speaker 1>that time from him, and then he needs that time

0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.280
<v Speaker 1>with everyone. So if you figured out a balance, we're

0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:34.840
<v Speaker 1>getting better. We're definitely getting better. So what does it

0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:36.440
<v Speaker 1>look like you're having a date night or just having

0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to moment like a couple of hours. We definitely tried

0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to start the old date night like once a week.

0:47:42.200 --> 0:47:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, things have been busiest holiday season. It's just hard. Um.

0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 1>We don't strictly enforce that, but Sunday's especially, Um, if

0:47:53.000 --> 0:47:54.960
<v Speaker 1>he's home on a Sunday, I really try and make

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:57.279
<v Speaker 1>that our family day because we go to church, we

0:47:57.400 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 1>have dinner, um, and that night, if he to have

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 1>buddies over and I have friends over, that's great. We

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:05.239
<v Speaker 1>have a great day. I love the right day. And

0:48:05.320 --> 0:48:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I don't think that Shanna don't love

0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a good Homemark movie because you better believe that every

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:16.360
<v Speaker 1>not when he's home, we've got some holiday movies going. Yeah.

0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I love that. We are we're pretty Yeah. Well he

0:48:20.719 --> 0:48:24.840
<v Speaker 1>fight like well will he? That's the that's the biggest

0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:30.319
<v Speaker 1>because me being the peacemaker and him being he does not.

0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Neither of us can stand be mad long. Michael can't

0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:35.880
<v Speaker 1>either can't handle it. I can. I can be all

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:39.319
<v Speaker 1>emotional moody about it, but Michael will not. He can't

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:41.760
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a peacemaker and I'm like, I just want peace,

0:48:41.840 --> 0:48:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and he can't stand like anything been fun and happy.

0:48:46.840 --> 0:48:50.000
<v Speaker 1>He can't stand anything confrontational and so together, we're both

0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:53.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of on that same like, let's just get past this.

0:48:53.680 --> 0:48:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Literally great, we fight and then two seconds later we're like,

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, and then we just He's so playful, and

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:05.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like, I love that you embraced that of him.

0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:07.640
<v Speaker 1>He's like a he's like a big kid. Like, I'm

0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:11.120
<v Speaker 1>glad that having his personality was able and you having

0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:13.960
<v Speaker 1>your personality. I'm glad that y'all were able to find

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:16.960
<v Speaker 1>each other not fight it definitely, you know, and I did.

0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I did up until I let those walls down. I

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:21.160
<v Speaker 1>was like no, but I literally felt a good an

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:23.080
<v Speaker 1>edge in me. And he was like, you need this,

0:49:23.600 --> 0:49:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you need this guy. I made him for you specifically,

0:49:26.920 --> 0:49:29.640
<v Speaker 1>so you're gonna have to go ahead. And and I'm

0:49:29.840 --> 0:49:32.640
<v Speaker 1>so glad she was so patient with me. So he

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:34.840
<v Speaker 1>was like he just knew he signed up from the beginning.

0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:36.880
<v Speaker 1>He literally the night that he met me for the

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:40.080
<v Speaker 1>first time, he told us friend Benji he was there

0:49:40.120 --> 0:49:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that night. He was like, I'm going to marry her.

0:49:43.400 --> 0:49:47.759
<v Speaker 1>He loves to tell that story. He loves to tell

0:49:47.760 --> 0:49:50.359
<v Speaker 1>that story, but it's good. And then finally, when did

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:53.319
<v Speaker 1>you come around in Dallas after you told him all

0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:57.120
<v Speaker 1>your walls. Man. Even months after that, I think that

0:49:57.239 --> 0:49:59.360
<v Speaker 1>was in the spring, and I think it was around

0:49:59.400 --> 0:50:04.680
<v Speaker 1>June or je that I was finally like. I was like, okay,

0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:08.120
<v Speaker 1>he's like it's I knew it. I was just fighting it,

0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Was it finally like you

0:50:10.040 --> 0:50:12.440
<v Speaker 1>had just never felt this at home with someone? It

0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:16.680
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely, without a shadow of doubt. Knew that he

0:50:16.840 --> 0:50:19.040
<v Speaker 1>was like the person that was put on earth for me.

0:50:19.440 --> 0:50:23.719
<v Speaker 1>And the moment that like, we had some heart to

0:50:23.760 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 1>hearts and some conversations and he just loved me unconditionally.

0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you loved me like Jesus, and this

0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:30.960
<v Speaker 1>is the way it's supposed to be. I was like,

0:50:31.280 --> 0:50:32.920
<v Speaker 1>this is it. You're the one and we knew we

0:50:32.920 --> 0:50:35.279
<v Speaker 1>were going to get married, like all of it. Oh

0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:38.080
<v Speaker 1>my gosh. It kind of happened fast, but I feel

0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:41.399
<v Speaker 1>like when you know, you know, you do. And then

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:44.040
<v Speaker 1>after that it was long distance. It was in Arkansas

0:50:44.880 --> 0:50:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and um a year after that, we found out we

0:50:47.400 --> 0:50:50.520
<v Speaker 1>were pregnant, but we had already looked at rings, he

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:52.800
<v Speaker 1>had already asked my dad's blessing, and then we found

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:56.680
<v Speaker 1>that out on top of it, and I was like, well, hey,

0:50:56.840 --> 0:50:59.240
<v Speaker 1>might as well as fast forward it all okay? So

0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:03.359
<v Speaker 1>we did we like hit fast forward, and I moved here,

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I became a mom and a wife and we got

0:51:06.760 --> 0:51:09.120
<v Speaker 1>a house, and it was all the seasons at one

0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:11.799
<v Speaker 1>and his career and just like that. Alwa was like

0:51:11.800 --> 0:51:13.839
<v Speaker 1>in one year? Was in one year? How did did

0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:18.480
<v Speaker 1>your brain explode? I didn't have my What did I mean?

0:51:18.560 --> 0:51:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Are you even able to process what's happening? Are you

0:51:20.520 --> 0:51:22.799
<v Speaker 1>just like doing it? It was? I was just I

0:51:22.840 --> 0:51:25.839
<v Speaker 1>was on auto pilot. Yeah, are we? Are? We? So

0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 1>like this is great? Okay, which there's no time frame

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:32.239
<v Speaker 1>in this way? Well, I did? I feel like it

0:51:32.280 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 1>was just a lot packed into one season. He did

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you go on? Were you able to like I had

0:51:36.120 --> 0:51:41.360
<v Speaker 1>no friends here all together? Did you have some breakdowns? I? Um,

0:51:41.360 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm very I think because I'm a peacemaker, I keep

0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>things in. I bottled it up and also I go

0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:53.319
<v Speaker 1>them and so I literally just didn't. I didn't, like,

0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a crier. You're not If I cry, it's bad.

0:51:57.160 --> 0:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>If I cry. Shane knows it's like if there are

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:05.879
<v Speaker 1>tears and there's a problem with problem, red flag, watch out.

0:52:06.600 --> 0:52:10.440
<v Speaker 1>So it was really probably one of the hardest seasons

0:52:11.640 --> 0:52:16.840
<v Speaker 1>because it was every life transition happening literally in the

0:52:16.880 --> 0:52:18.319
<v Speaker 1>span of a few months. You're kind of being a

0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:21.400
<v Speaker 1>single parent, and yeah, I was. It was alone, and

0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:23.319
<v Speaker 1>then I had the baby and he had heared a

0:52:23.320 --> 0:52:25.840
<v Speaker 1>new city, like you said, with no friendity, no friends,

0:52:25.880 --> 0:52:30.239
<v Speaker 1>no family sections. So it's like a major surgery and

0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:32.120
<v Speaker 1>you're the only one here. Do you have helped? Mom

0:52:32.200 --> 0:52:34.120
<v Speaker 1>stayed with me two weeks, and she was here but

0:52:34.160 --> 0:52:36.280
<v Speaker 1>then left after two weeks, and so all of a sudden,

0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:40.040
<v Speaker 1>empty house, empty with a newborn after surgery. Now, my

0:52:40.080 --> 0:52:42.680
<v Speaker 1>best friend was here, but then she does mission work

0:52:43.080 --> 0:52:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and so she was in Haiti or Africa most of

0:52:46.960 --> 0:52:49.160
<v Speaker 1>this time. And what happens to you? What did you

0:52:49.200 --> 0:52:51.640
<v Speaker 1>do after those two weeks? Well, I'll be honest, there

0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was some PPD involved and some postpartum It was like definitely,

0:52:57.160 --> 0:52:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh and I had him in you know, winter, so

0:52:59.239 --> 0:53:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it was cold, dark, and I'm pretty sure it's seasonal depression.

0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:04.960
<v Speaker 1>So and not to mention, like, I've moved cities a

0:53:04.960 --> 0:53:06.839
<v Speaker 1>couple of times, and every time I moved to New Town,

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I have depression because it's like everything so isolating. You

0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:12.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know where you are. You don't know anything, nothing's familiar,

0:53:13.320 --> 0:53:15.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out how to keep it a little

0:53:15.280 --> 0:53:17.240
<v Speaker 1>baby a lot, and you're trying to keep a baby alive.

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Your body's hurting. Yeah, I didn't feel I didn't feel

0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like myself. It's the first time with your right literally

0:53:27.400 --> 0:53:29.560
<v Speaker 1>you Christin Breuss are very so much. She literally came

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:31.400
<v Speaker 1>over to my house a week after after he was

0:53:31.440 --> 0:53:34.759
<v Speaker 1>a week old. Yes, and love was like when and

0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I have pictures of it and I was like, who

0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is this girl? And I was like, I don't know,

0:53:38.200 --> 0:53:41.960
<v Speaker 1>but she's sweet. She just she knew it was like

0:53:41.960 --> 0:53:44.239
<v Speaker 1>our sensors on and she was like, she was like,

0:53:44.320 --> 0:53:48.479
<v Speaker 1>it's okay. She was like, welcome into the fold. I'm

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:53.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure all of you girls at the awards be eyes.

0:53:53.920 --> 0:53:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it was all blur and I'm terrible with names.

0:53:57.920 --> 0:53:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm good with faces, but I couldn't tell you a name.

0:54:00.160 --> 0:54:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And so that was also a struggle for me, because

0:54:03.640 --> 0:54:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you move here and everyone's like hi, because they know

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you because you're the wife of someone. Yes, but then

0:54:08.760 --> 0:54:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you're like, have I met him before? Yes? It's so much,

0:54:11.600 --> 0:54:13.520
<v Speaker 1>is so so fast, and then you feel like a jerk.

0:54:14.040 --> 0:54:16.160
<v Speaker 1>If you don't know, you just gotta give yourself grace.

0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Have you gotten to a point where you're good at

0:54:18.400 --> 0:54:23.000
<v Speaker 1>giving yourself grace? I am. I'm definitely. You know, now

0:54:23.040 --> 0:54:27.279
<v Speaker 1>that we have Asher, it's like my priorities are, I'm

0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:29.480
<v Speaker 1>going to take care of my family. I'm going to

0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.319
<v Speaker 1>make sure that I have time and energy for that,

0:54:33.120 --> 0:54:36.759
<v Speaker 1>and um, the other stuff. Um, it's just going to

0:54:36.840 --> 0:54:39.359
<v Speaker 1>have to come next. Like I'm gonna put God up

0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:41.920
<v Speaker 1>here and then family and then the rest of it

0:54:41.960 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll worry about. And that's where I think I mentioned

0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:47.120
<v Speaker 1>this earlier in the last six months to a year.

0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:50.239
<v Speaker 1>Once Asher hit a year, I started to get the

0:54:50.239 --> 0:54:53.239
<v Speaker 1>hang of things. That confidence you're talking about, you got

0:54:53.239 --> 0:54:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it because you understood him. Now he's got a little personality,

0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:58.600
<v Speaker 1>coming had a routine, and I'm more comfortable in this

0:54:58.680 --> 0:55:02.120
<v Speaker 1>town and I know more people and more moms, and

0:55:02.239 --> 0:55:04.200
<v Speaker 1>so once I hit that, I was like, you know,

0:55:05.080 --> 0:55:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I got this. I got it. It's a good place.

0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:13.719
<v Speaker 1>And my following started to grow, which was weird to me.

0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:16.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's great because then you could start really expressing

0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:19.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself in that way. Well, and that's kind of that's

0:55:19.480 --> 0:55:22.319
<v Speaker 1>what I'm having an outlet. Yes um. And I feel

0:55:22.320 --> 0:55:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like I've watched you turn into this.

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you probably saw it like bloss because

0:55:27.600 --> 0:55:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you really started expressing yourself through fashion, you started expressing

0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it through your words. You started really sharing your family

0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:36.919
<v Speaker 1>life with us, um and the open about it all.

0:55:37.280 --> 0:55:40.239
<v Speaker 1>And I've always loved fashion and photography and art and

0:55:40.280 --> 0:55:42.720
<v Speaker 1>all the all the creative things. And I've always loved words,

0:55:42.760 --> 0:55:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and so it makes sense that on social media that

0:55:46.400 --> 0:55:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that would be That obviously sounds like a good place too.

0:55:50.840 --> 0:55:54.640
<v Speaker 1>It's pictures, it's it's like and it's you all it is.

0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And so that was accessible to me. Um. You could

0:55:58.560 --> 0:56:02.200
<v Speaker 1>do it while having a sure things from home. Yes um.

0:56:02.280 --> 0:56:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Now people always ask me, They're like, oh, well, you know,

0:56:07.080 --> 0:56:09.880
<v Speaker 1>how does it feel to have like so many people

0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:13.040
<v Speaker 1>looking at you? And I'm like, always, since I was

0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:16.279
<v Speaker 1>a child, I was uncomfortable. I've never been the look

0:56:16.320 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 1>at me attention person, but I have it. And so

0:56:20.120 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>what I say is, you know, I happened to be

0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:25.680
<v Speaker 1>married to someone who has the spot I don't want him,

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but I'm his wife, and so I stand. You know this,

0:56:29.040 --> 0:56:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I stand in the side of his spotlight, like right,

0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:33.880
<v Speaker 1>next to him. So there's a lot of eyes and

0:56:33.920 --> 0:56:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ask for those eyes, but I have them,

0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:39.799
<v Speaker 1>and so you're going to do. What I'm gonna do

0:56:39.960 --> 0:56:42.799
<v Speaker 1>is just point up. And I know that's cheesy, that's

0:56:42.800 --> 0:56:46.439
<v Speaker 1>so cheesy, but I'm like, I didn't do this. God

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:51.040
<v Speaker 1>did this. God blessed me with this wonderful life, and

0:56:51.160 --> 0:56:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I've got eyes on me, and the best thing I

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:55.080
<v Speaker 1>can do is just give glory back to him because

0:56:55.840 --> 0:56:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do any of it myself. Literally did nothing

0:56:59.600 --> 0:57:02.480
<v Speaker 1>except marry the man of my dreams and have this

0:57:02.520 --> 0:57:05.520
<v Speaker 1>sweet baby. And just so then I have a lot

0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of faith and have a lot of faith, and I

0:57:07.560 --> 0:57:09.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, the best thing I can do. And you

0:57:09.400 --> 0:57:12.120
<v Speaker 1>know what, I have a lot of cousins and a

0:57:12.120 --> 0:57:14.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of little girls from the pageant days that follow

0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:17.680
<v Speaker 1>me and they have always just even from those days

0:57:17.720 --> 0:57:20.640
<v Speaker 1>of speaking at elementary schools, those little girls, those have

0:57:20.720 --> 0:57:23.400
<v Speaker 1>turned into young women and like these these people are

0:57:23.400 --> 0:57:26.200
<v Speaker 1>still watching, and I'm like, it's important to you to

0:57:26.280 --> 0:57:29.160
<v Speaker 1>put a good message out. There's so important because you

0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 1>would not believe the messages I get a day on

0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:36.919
<v Speaker 1>direct messages that people are like, thank you so much

0:57:36.960 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 1>for being like a positive and you're honest about stuff.

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:44.560
<v Speaker 1>You're honest about your faith, You're honest about like parenting stuff.

0:57:44.880 --> 0:57:46.880
<v Speaker 1>You're honest. Like I've read through a lot of your stuff,

0:57:46.880 --> 0:57:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and like you have like the whole thing about parenting,

0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:53.400
<v Speaker 1>about doing versus like doing versus being present is so

0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:55.880
<v Speaker 1>hard being present instead of just like feeling you always

0:57:55.920 --> 0:57:57.840
<v Speaker 1>have to do the next thing, read the next book,

0:57:57.920 --> 0:57:59.920
<v Speaker 1>or have the Pinterest mom. Being the Pinterest mom you

0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:02.360
<v Speaker 1>like so much more is just from your kids seeing

0:58:02.440 --> 0:58:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you see the person that you are. That's how I learned.

0:58:05.960 --> 0:58:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Like now that I'm a parent, I look back and

0:58:07.880 --> 0:58:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you a lot of conversations maybe that

0:58:10.520 --> 0:58:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I had with with my parents about necessarily how to

0:58:16.520 --> 0:58:19.320
<v Speaker 1>live life, but I've watched them live it, you know,

0:58:19.440 --> 0:58:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and you just know from just in the way that

0:58:21.840 --> 0:58:25.680
<v Speaker 1>people look at my mom, especially she's just like mother Teresa.

0:58:25.800 --> 0:58:28.680
<v Speaker 1>She just always she's so selfless. She takes care of

0:58:28.720 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone else except for her. But she does it because

0:58:33.400 --> 0:58:37.200
<v Speaker 1>she loves people and and she's got a heart for them,

0:58:37.440 --> 0:58:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and she's serving them, you know too. She I want

0:58:41.680 --> 0:58:44.840
<v Speaker 1>to say, she's either a two or nine because she's

0:58:44.880 --> 0:58:48.640
<v Speaker 1>also kind of a peacemaker, kind of a peacemaker. But

0:58:48.760 --> 0:58:51.680
<v Speaker 1>she's she's been a great example. Man. She is she's

0:58:51.720 --> 0:58:54.520
<v Speaker 1>my rock, She's she's my go to girl. I call

0:58:54.600 --> 0:58:56.360
<v Speaker 1>my mom every day. Are you pretty good at not

0:58:56.400 --> 0:58:58.400
<v Speaker 1>sweating the small stuff? Like, even when you're in your big,

0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 1>big year of like new city, new husband, new baby,

0:59:02.040 --> 0:59:05.880
<v Speaker 1>new life, new everything, were you able to like that was?

0:59:06.360 --> 0:59:09.120
<v Speaker 1>That was a hard year? But once I got past,

0:59:10.160 --> 0:59:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you're able to not get hung up and move fast.

0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:17.240
<v Speaker 1>You're always still light. Yes, I just you just can't.

0:59:17.520 --> 0:59:22.760
<v Speaker 1>You just can't stress about all the little things. She's

0:59:22.800 --> 0:59:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the same way, And I think that's why we were

0:59:25.320 --> 0:59:29.480
<v Speaker 1>really healthy, balanced, because I'm I wonder what people think

0:59:30.000 --> 0:59:32.560
<v Speaker 1>when they see us together, because I feel like they're like, wow,

0:59:32.560 --> 0:59:40.080
<v Speaker 1>she's really quiet, and then she's like like, no, I

0:59:40.120 --> 0:59:41.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. I think when I see you guys,

0:59:41.920 --> 0:59:44.800
<v Speaker 1>y'all just look like a perfectly complimented couple. Thank you,

0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:48.120
<v Speaker 1>really thank you. But we do we are. We do

0:59:48.240 --> 0:59:50.280
<v Speaker 1>compliment because he's the love of the party and I

0:59:50.360 --> 0:59:54.280
<v Speaker 1>love people, but I also love more intimate, you know,

0:59:54.480 --> 0:59:57.800
<v Speaker 1>environments like this sort of like a small gathering. Yes,

0:59:58.000 --> 0:59:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel the same way. We can really get to know.

1:00:00.280 --> 1:00:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I love. I can work a room, but it wears

1:00:02.240 --> 1:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>me out. And by this time it said, I'm like,

1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I gotta sleep for a week. And

1:00:06.720 --> 1:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and even when she and I were dating, I was like,

1:00:08.880 --> 1:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>please know like he saw me in my comfort place.

1:00:12.080 --> 1:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>He saw me when I was still home in Arkansas

1:00:13.840 --> 1:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>with all my friends, and I kind of felt like

1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I could be the laugh of the party because I

1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>was comfortable and these were all the people that loved me.

1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And then I moved here and just became the shell

1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>of the person because because everything's brand new, you don't

1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>know your comfort and you don't know who is who

1:00:31.360 --> 1:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>or whose friends with who. And I don't want to

1:00:33.640 --> 1:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>step on anyone's toes or I certainly didn't want anyone

1:00:36.840 --> 1:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>thinking I came into this town like with any motives

1:00:42.080 --> 1:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>other than to be a wife and a mama. And

1:00:44.680 --> 1:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I do think, do you think the community of country

1:00:46.920 --> 1:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>music especially so inviting open, It's so supportive, so supportive,

1:00:51.960 --> 1:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean you probably know. I feel like they've pitched

1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>so many people about having a show for the wives,

1:00:59.440 --> 1:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, good luck with that, because this is

1:01:04.240 --> 1:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>an actual family and actual community, and I think everyone

1:01:08.000 --> 1:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>has too much love and respect to ever throw anyone

1:01:10.600 --> 1:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>under the bus, would do anything that would jeopardize exactly

1:01:13.680 --> 1:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>because even if people aren't under the same labels, someone

1:01:18.680 --> 1:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>might be a producer, or someone might be this or that,

1:01:21.040 --> 1:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's just you might write with him, you might this.

1:01:24.520 --> 1:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's so supportive. It's everyone literally a big family. And

1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, if there is anywhere that I moved outside

1:01:31.320 --> 1:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>of Arkansas, I had said this before I even met

1:01:34.400 --> 1:01:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Years before I met him, I was like, if I

1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>moved anywhere, it would be Nashville because it feels like

1:01:38.840 --> 1:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>small town but a city. And I needed that because

1:01:42.320 --> 1:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm a farm girl. I need I need a little

1:01:44.240 --> 1:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of country. Um that he needs a little bit

1:01:48.360 --> 1:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>of socialization. So it's perfect. It's perfect. Okay, someone to

1:01:51.960 --> 1:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>wrap up. I've got a couple of questions and just

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:59.479
<v Speaker 1>answer how you feel. What is love to love? Um Man.

1:02:00.640 --> 1:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>One of my old roommates and I we had a

1:02:03.040 --> 1:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>saying and we would always say, leave your judgments at

1:02:05.640 --> 1:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the door. And for some reason, my whole life, people

1:02:09.360 --> 1:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have people I'm not even close to would come to

1:02:13.040 --> 1:02:17.040
<v Speaker 1>me with things and just pour out their hearts to me.

1:02:17.080 --> 1:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think, to me, love is just not judging someone,

1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>not just letting them come to you and loving on

1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>them without judgments, without expectations, because we're all human and

1:02:35.520 --> 1:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, wouldn't you want someone to lovel on you?

1:02:38.080 --> 1:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't you want to come to someone and have like,

1:02:40.280 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>feel safe and not judged. I think that's what love

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>is to me, just having that judgment free, unconditional. Are

1:02:50.200 --> 1:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I love that? What's the point of this life? Um? Well,

1:02:54.800 --> 1:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not us. It's not about us, It's not it's

1:02:59.320 --> 1:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>about you know. I think foundations have been laid for

1:03:03.680 --> 1:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>myself and for Shae to give back and to do

1:03:06.600 --> 1:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>for people who can't and who weren't blessed to be

1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>in the positions that we're in. And so you know,

1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>my purpose is to give glory to God and to

1:03:17.040 --> 1:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>make sure that other people know that they are loved

1:03:20.240 --> 1:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>by God. You know, Hannah a sweet angel. I'm not

1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a sweet angel? Yes you are. You look like an

1:03:27.120 --> 1:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>angel as well. I'm um, it's bright. Why does an

1:03:29.920 --> 1:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>angel right now? I thought about putting my dan on

1:03:32.520 --> 1:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>before you came over, but then be orange, So okay,

1:03:36.040 --> 1:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>last question and leave your light. This whole interview has

1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>been inspiring, but I was like to just leave your light.

1:03:41.600 --> 1:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>How you want to inspire people, what you want people

1:03:43.600 --> 1:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to know, what's your message that you're shoot. I mean,

1:03:48.760 --> 1:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess i'd go back to old faithful um. Everyone's

1:03:52.520 --> 1:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>got a gift, everyone's got something. I mean again, it

1:03:57.280 --> 1:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be entertainment value. It doesn't have to

1:03:59.800 --> 1:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>be something that you can see even you know, look

1:04:05.680 --> 1:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>at your heart. I mean you are like this this um.

1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>What are they called? They're they call people in, they

1:04:13.800 --> 1:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>beacon them in their lights. It's a lighthouse. You're a lighthouse.

1:04:19.000 --> 1:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what you are. That's how your joy is. You

1:04:21.160 --> 1:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>just radiate it and you draw people into you like

1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>a lighthouse. That's really nice. And I always feel like

1:04:25.680 --> 1:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a lighthouse. You are you are because I know when

1:04:28.400 --> 1:04:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I first moved here, You're one of the first people

1:04:30.280 --> 1:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that I recognized and you would come to me in

1:04:33.560 --> 1:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a room even though I didn't know you, and you

1:04:36.360 --> 1:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>just made me feel like it's okay, and just to

1:04:38.760 --> 1:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>have that familiar face. Man, you are just such a joy. Well.

1:04:44.040 --> 1:04:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel the same as you. I want everyone to

1:04:45.880 --> 1:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>feel loved like and I think it's made because I

1:04:48.240 --> 1:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>felt broken a lot of my life too, and like

1:04:50.040 --> 1:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I hate that feeling brings tears some eyes. Like I

1:04:53.840 --> 1:04:57.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want anybody to feel like they're not worthy or

1:04:57.200 --> 1:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>good enough, or they don't belong or they to be perfect,

1:05:00.720 --> 1:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>because that's just that's exhausting and it's exhausting. It's not relatable. No,

1:05:06.280 --> 1:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not that way, and so I just want

1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone to be like, we're good. We're all good. It's fine, Yeah,

1:05:11.160 --> 1:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>we're good. It literally. I just sometimes I tell people

1:05:18.400 --> 1:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>like the low lows and it's like, look, that was

1:05:21.720 --> 1:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>me and that was my life and we're all human,

1:05:24.760 --> 1:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's like sharing low lows. I have learned, like

1:05:27.560 --> 1:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>even like on Instagram and you're so great at sharing.

1:05:30.440 --> 1:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I'll share something really personal and then I'll have

1:05:33.080 --> 1:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>like this major regret about it. I'm like, oh my god,

1:05:35.800 --> 1:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I overshared. I'm the only emotional wreck out there. Are

1:05:39.960 --> 1:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>too much information, Like did that make someone uncomfortable? That's

1:05:43.360 --> 1:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>my big people know, I'm like total mess. It's exposed.

1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I never want to make anyone uncomfortable. And I think

1:05:50.320 --> 1:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that was my hang up for so long. And then

1:05:52.760 --> 1:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>this last year, when when people started following me like crazy,

1:05:57.120 --> 1:05:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like stop and I was like Okay, well,

1:06:00.040 --> 1:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>let me just put this out there for you, because

1:06:02.800 --> 1:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>let me help you where I have learned. Right, Yeah,

1:06:08.920 --> 1:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I am tune. I can't wait to go hear what's

1:06:10.400 --> 1:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>going on. It sounds like a whole race track is

1:06:12.960 --> 1:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like he's joined his bee Beep. He loves

1:06:15.080 --> 1:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that car. And you're an angel. Thank you so much

1:06:18.000 --> 1:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>for joining me. Okay, thank you all so much for

1:06:24.040 --> 1:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>joining me on my Wives edition Women in Music City.

1:06:28.040 --> 1:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Hannah Mooney, What an angel she is. I find it

1:06:31.040 --> 1:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>so fun to get insights into these women's lives because

1:06:34.520 --> 1:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>we know about their husbands. They're artists, they're out there

1:06:36.640 --> 1:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>in the public's eye. But the women are so fantastic

1:06:40.120 --> 1:06:43.200

1:07:10.800 --> 1:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>get real. We talk about miscarriage and it's a real

1:07:14.200 --> 1:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>topic because we've both gone through it, and she was

1:07:18.320 --> 1:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>brave enough to talk about it, and she wants to

1:07:21.040 --> 1:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>spread this message and she wants to spread her story

1:07:24.200 --> 1:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>because I feel and she feels that it's something that

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk about. And so I'm so grateful

1:07:29.200 --> 1:07:30.840
