4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of just wrapping things up this year. I know

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: it's not at the end of the year yet. Uh,

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm bracing myself for some reason. So I want to

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and pretend like we're in the year with

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: with Hope, with Hope, Okay, saying I'm just saying, but first, yes,

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: this is a Happy Hour. If we speak about drinks

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: or products, we are not necessarily sponsored by them at

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: this moment. You never know, it might happen later down

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: the road. Um, if you are drinking or whatever you're doing,

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: do it responsibly, you know, adult that thing, whatever that is.

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: When there's caffeine, which apparently I've had too much of

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: today as you and I have and talking and I'm like, oh,

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ready apparently, or you know, if you are

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: doing some adult beverages, be mindful right now speaking of

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: what what you've sippen on, I am continuing in my

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: boxed red wine and the tumbler that you gave me.

20
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: I have had a hectic couple of days so I

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: mean weeks and months a year, but these past few

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: days definitely. So I was kind of like the quirkers

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: think I couldn't get that's fair, that's fair. You have

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: been stretching yourself. Then on this this one, I'm like,

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: what's happening? Because I'm nonchalantly in my corner, just doing

26
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: my thing. I'm like, oh cool, I still and wearing

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: my ones onesie type of comfy. I'm fine with it.

28
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Everything's fine. Yeah, so I thought today because actually I'm

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: not drinking. I'm still the till in of whatever I

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: had and still kind of making me dizzy and lightheaded,

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: so I don't I'm not drinking anything specific to like alcohol.

32
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: I did have a cup of coffee this morning, and

33
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: right now I'm just sipping on bubbly water because you know,

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: I love some good bubbly water. Um. But yeah, I

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: was just thinking about everything we have gone through and

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: the fact that I can't tell like time, as in

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: like the year when it began, what events happened. When

38
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: every time I do research and I'm trying to find

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: the recent articles, I'm like, wait, that happened. I really

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: thought it happened three months ago, you know, I'm kind

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: of all over the place, so I will preface I

42
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: don't exactly know all the time frames that we're going

43
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: to talk about, but I do want to just kind

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of revisit the past and just and talk through some

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: of our expectations, not resolutions, but expectations. Right. So, any

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: what is something that is the most memorable that has

47
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: happened to you this year of two? Okay? Yeah, putting

48
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: you higher on the spot. So, like we usually have

49
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: outlines and I usually will prep her if I have questions,

50
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, I do this off the fly. I

51
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: want I want it off off top of your head.

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: You want it to be real? Okay, Um, I would

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: say the very I have a couple of answers to it.

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: There's one that Samantha and I've been hinting after that

55
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: we still can't really talk about. But we did go

56
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: through a thing and accomplished this thing this year that

57
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm pretty proud of. I have, I have like mixed

58
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: emotions about it, but I'm pretty proud of it. Uh.

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: And I promise I'm not trying to be like super mysterious.

60
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: We will tell you, and I bet some of you

61
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: have already guests it's not like, but it's not a

62
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: big that thing. I would say, Um, I've had some

63
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: major strides and in growth in like terms of like

64
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: my family and myself. I had a very funny conversation

65
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: with the lift driver where I was like, Okay, yeah,

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: I still have some issues, um, but now I know

67
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: what they are. My my funny answer would be, honestly,

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: it was a big deal when I went to Dragon

69
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Con and I went to to Sco Luke and I

70
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: had the time of my life. And it has been

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: such a hard adjusting time. It sucks because we're still

72
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: in co COVID's not done, we're seeing this sort is

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: still there. But that was one of the first times

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: I had gone out and kind of felt like, oh,

75
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: I remember doing this, and I remember loving this, and

76
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 1: I remember So that was a really it sounds really silly,

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: but that was kind of a big one for me.

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: It's you You've been working on that costume for a

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: minute too. Yes, so that's that's something. Um, Okay, this

80
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: is a this is a toughie one and I'm sorry

81
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: in advance. Is there a regret that you have from

82
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: two and if you so, what is it? Well? Okay,

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: first of all. Is it this just me answering all

84
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: these questions? Oh yeah, yeah, I'll go back. I'll come

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: back to me. Okay, say, I think my biggest regret

86
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: is twenty two is my favorite number. I'm a big

87
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: numbers person. I've talked about before. I'm a big like

88
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: traditions person in I put a lot of significance and

89
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: things where maybe it shouldn't be. But when this this

90
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: year started, because it's my favorite number, I had high

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: ups so oh, this will be the year where I

92
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: actually do the thing I wanted to do in which

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: is take better care of myself. And I didn't do

94
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: it at all. And I think things actually got worse

95
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: in some ways. I had strides as I said in

96
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: the last answer I gave where I was like, oh okay,

97
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I really recognized this behavior now, and I think that's good.

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: I guess it was. It was just kind of I

99
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: regret that I so easily was like, I give it

100
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: up on this. I'll deal with it next year. We'll

101
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: see the positive spin. Okay. So I was gonna say,

102
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: do you have a lesson that you have learned this

103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: year that you do want to carry for that you

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: will carry? Well? One you have been hearing a little

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: bit about and I cannot wait to tell you more

106
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: about is ask more questions of more details before you

107
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: agree to something. Um, I would say, like going back

108
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: to my kind of realization about me being a people pleaser.

109
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: It's just it's like I can't not unsee it now. UM.

110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: So I think I'm hopeful because I really did have

111
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: a comical after that episode came out listeners, a comical

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: example of it happening. Maybe I'll do like a cash

113
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: up because it was very funny. Um where it's like,

114
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: I know this is a behavior that I have and

115
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm still doing it and here I am, and how

116
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: did I get here? I keep doing this? So I'm

117
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: hoping that now that I've had this moment I've talked about,

118
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: we've done this episode, that I will take that information

119
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: into love it lessons learned. It's it's just because you

120
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: learn a lesson or you find something specific, it doesn't

121
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: mean you're always going to do that. You can always

122
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: fall back and then you have to pick back up.

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: It's a thing that's life. Um. And this is a

124
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: simple one. Well, I think it's a simple one. Is

125
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: there something that you have created, whether it is a

126
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: beverage of food or something that you are the most

127
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: proud of this year. Okay, this girl look yeah, at

128
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: the top of that list. Aside from that, Aside from

129
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: this other mysterious thing I can't talk about. I will say, um,

130
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: not to get to like sentimental, but I've been really

131
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: proud of the work we've done on this show, Samantha.

132
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been hard. It's been hard for everybody,

133
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: and sometimes it is difficult, but I feel like we've

134
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: we've made a lot of content that I'm proud of. Um.

135
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of the fiction stuff, and I'm really

136
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: proud of what Christina is doing on it. Um. And

137
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: then I UM proud of a fan fiction I wrote

138
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: that I'm actually going to publish. Yes, I'm very excited.

139
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm excited for that. Thank You have

140
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: the whole plan like I do. I have a schedule

141
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,080

Speaker 1: I love it. I love that for you. Okay, So

143
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: what is one goal or something that you want for

144
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I think I want to I want to be more

145
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: mindful about how I treat my body and the things

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: that I do with my time, because I think that's

147
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: part of people pleasing is your time is not important

148
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: to you, or somebody else's time is more important to

149
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: you than yours is. So I want to be mindful

150
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: about that. That That doesn't mean I won't do those things,

151
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: but I just want to be more mindful of it.

152
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: And then, um, I am again the pandemic is still

153
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: a real thing, but I am trying to like re

154
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: establish friendships more like hang out more to those things

155
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: more that kind of coming out of my shell, I suppose.

156
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: So that's that's something on my mind. So if you

157
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: could go back to the beginning of this year, what

158
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: would you either tell yourself or warn yourself or just

159
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: give yourself a munch or what would you have told

160
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: your January? Oh, I would have said, I guess not

161
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: to put too much pressure on, Like I feel like

162
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: this is that New Year's thing in general, but don't

163
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: put too much pressure on this is a year. This

164
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: is it because it is. And then I think that

165
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: kind of contributes to I won't say failure, but to

166
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: the not to the year not going as you plan early. Right, Yeah,

167
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm giving very trite answers, but yeah,

168
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, at least a very broad questions. They're not

169
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: surprised you with that, so I think those answers are perfect.

170
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: As for myself and all of those regards, I think

171
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: some of the biggest memories is this project that you

172
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: and I have done, and the meltdowns that I've had

173
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: throughout and just feeling like it's over and I will

174
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: still be anxious until it's really really over and we

175
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: can tell everybody and then we go do our thing

176
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: and then come back. That was definitely a big part

177
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: of this year, buying a house. It was a huge

178
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: step um and something that I thought I could never

179
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: do when I was a social worker making literally thirty

180
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: two thirty six thousand a year that wasn't feasible. Living

181
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: in Atlanta wasn't feasible, and I was working like sixty

182
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: hour weeks um. So for me to be here, to

183
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: finally be able to be stable, it has been a

184
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: huge accomplishment to me, and I feel very grateful for that.

185
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: So those two are like two big moments for me.

186
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: I regret um, you know, the biggest regrets I have

187
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: is the fact that when I have an anxiety breakdown

188
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: and I know I can't control it, but looking when

189
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: you look back on it, you're like, why it wasn't

190
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: it was You didn't have to put yourself through that,

191
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: you didn't have to lose your sleep over that. But

192
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, of course that's not piling off like why

193
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: did I do that? Which brings you another anxiety attack

194
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: whatever whatnot, but but knowing that actually things do work

195
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: out and it is okay, We're gonna be okay. And

196
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: I've had two specific episodes of like, oh and just

197
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: putting myself to bed because I felt so overwhelmed, um,

198
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: and looking back on it, being like, I'm glad I

199
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: was able to have the support group that I have,

200
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: but I wish I didn't have to go through things

201
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: like that because of just my anxiety of like mental

202
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: health stuff, you know. And I'm not saying that is

203
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: a regret because of it. It's just more of like

204
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: a we're like just going through it, coming back to it,

205
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, that was unnecessary kind of moments.

206
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: I guess, Um, what I hope for, I mean, continue

207
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: growth as we keep uh plodding through. I'm really excited

208
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: about what our show looks. It's gonna look like, Um,

209
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't nothing's gonna change necessarily, but hopefully we'll have

210
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: a lot of in depth content that you know, you

211
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: the listener will be able to relate to more listener participation,

212
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: whether it's you guys emailing us, deeming us, or you know,

213
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: letting us being a part of the show. And we

214
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: still want to do more of that, UM, And we

215
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: love the interaction obviously, so I'm really looking forward to that. Uh,

216
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: still looking forward to what we do to my house,

217
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: to our house, Like we have plans for a garden

218
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: and all that. We'll see if we can make it through,

219
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: because we just have vines, y'all. I think what I

220
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: would say to my uh January twenty tweety two self

221
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: would be a lot of things are going to happen.

222
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: Buckle up. That's a good run. I guess we could

223
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: say that for any year. But I feel like we

224
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: went through because January twenty we need to. I didn't

225
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: know I was going to buy a house. That was

226
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: not a plan um eventually but not necessarily, and then

227
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: it kind of just WorldWind because of the way rent

228
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: was going that it made the most sense, um, and

229
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: we got it right under the It's not a crash,

230
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: but the interest rates going skyrocketing and all the homes

231
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: being held hostage essentially by big corporations. Um. So yeah,

232
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of things, and then how the

233
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: world is shaping, our politics are shaping. It's been a

234
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: lot this year, and I to be honest, it's been

235
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot the last ten years. But it's been a

236
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: lot um and I think bracing for the unexpected it's

237
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: probably smart, but not necessarily in a bad bad way.

238
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Not putting yourself through the wringer and being anxious all

239
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: the time, which still I still have to have get

240
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: a handle on the anxiety. But yeah, I think that

241
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: those were the things. And yeah, like you said, like

242
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: next year, we don't want to put any huge expectations

243
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: setting us up to fail, because that's exactly what happens

244
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: when you play something so high, but we want to

245
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: manifest the good, uh, the learning and the moving forward

246
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: right Yeah. Yeah, And that's one of the beautiful things

247
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: they think about my experience and I hopefully your experience.

248
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I believe your experience on this show has been like

249
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: we have seen that through hearing from you listeners, and

250
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: through what we do and what we're able to do,

251
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: who we're able to talk to and we're hoping to

252
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: grow that. There have been some huge setbacks this year

253
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: that we've had episodes about. Obviously we're being much more personal,

254
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: but things like ROPI Wade being reverse like there's been

255
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: a lot of regrets in that kind of arena. But um,

256
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: the continued growth and learning and learning about all of

257
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: these things from from you all and then learning more

258
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: about how to be mindful of ourselves and how to

259
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: pass that on, it's just hugely in portant. I think, right,

260
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: and um, we're excited. We I would love to hear

261
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: from you more. Let us know what you think we're

262
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: we should be doing if we haven't gotten to your suggestions. No,

263
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: we hear you what is coming. But there's a lot

264
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: of things that happens as you know, that we try

265
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: to keep up with as well. Um, breathe, take a

266
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: deep breath. You know that today is just the day

267
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: and you can take the time to just sit back

268
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: and be quiet and be you. Yeah, put on your

269
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: disco luke outfit and go brighten up the world. I say,

270
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: I think we need to get you a routine. I'm

271
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: going to get you a routine for this. Oh my gosh,
