Speaker 1: all know what's been going on with the kids. So

7
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,520

8
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: podcast until April. I'm not leaving or anything, but I

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: need a break. Child. I've been doing this for over

10
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: a little bit two years or some change, and I

11
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: never took a break. And for those of you who

12
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,919
Speaker 1: are content creators, especially when you are a one woman

13
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: or a one man show, it is a lot of

14
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: fucking work on top of having an annoying as nine

15
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: five and a personal life and everything else that you

16
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: can imagine and shout out to the content creators who

17
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: have kids, like, it's a lot. So you know, I've

18
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: been going through some things. You're trying to figure out,

19
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: like what's gonna be my next move? And you know,

20
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 1: just the phrase that keeps coming to me is working

21
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: smart and not hard. So I feel like, you know what,

22

Speaker 1: I need to figure out what's gonna be the next move.

26
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: And I thought I had my move already set in stone,

27
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: which I'll talk about a little bit later. But I

28
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: just feel like the phrase that keeps coming back to

Speaker 1: me is working smart and not hard. And I feel

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: like if I would have made this move, I would

31
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: have definitely been working twice as fucking hard. And Laura

32

54
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Like I've been doing my self care, which forgetting her

55
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: hair done. Neil has been popping. I got me a

56
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: really nice facial lady that's in Brooklyn. I would share

57
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: those details real soon. So I've been really happy, like

58
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel like my old self again, and

59
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: I've been going through this moment where I feel like

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: my current self has been competing with my twenty year

61
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: old self, and I have to keep reminding myself that

62
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: my twenty year self wouldn't have been able to handle

63
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: my thirty year old stuff is going through. So you know,

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: I am working on giving myself more grace and just

65
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: being more nice to myself. But I do believe in

66
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: order for me to be nice to myself and to

67
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: give myself grace, I gotta take a fucking break. So

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: if anybody's out there that's trying to do it all

69
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and you feel like you are run down, you're tired,

70
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: you're exhausted, take that break. Break doesn't mean to stop,

71
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: It just means to take a moment, reflect, go back

72
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: to the drawing boards, get your energy up, get your

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: spirit right, and get back to it. So, once again,

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: thank you all so much for supporting the kid. I

75
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: miss y'all, but I am working on new content, not

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: going in super hard right now because I want to

77
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: take a break and just breathe because I know once

78
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: I get things like up and going, it's gonna get

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: back up and going. But I do have some new

80
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: stories in mind that I want to cover. So, like
