Speaker 1: The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Part one behind a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 3: Good morning, everybody, Welcome to the Best Bits. I hope you're
Speaker 3: having a great weekend. I'm joined this weekend by Amy.
Speaker 4: Amy. How are you hi?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 4: How are you good?
Speaker 3: We are doing this a little bit earlier because we
Speaker 3: have so much CMA best stuff going on, but that
Speaker 3: means it is a little bit different. I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: describe the Best Bits. You're just gonna have to go
Speaker 3: check out part two and catch up on the Bobby
Speaker 3: Bone Show that way.
Speaker 4: So that means Amy, you and I are.
Speaker 6: Just diveing ride in Okay?
Speaker 1: Is that cool?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: We need a little live update. What's been going on
Speaker 3: with you lately? Anything you want to share.
Speaker 5: My niece just moved in with me for the next
Speaker 5: eight weeks.
Speaker 6: She arrived this week.
Speaker 5: So she's going to be a junior at CU Boulder
Speaker 5: and she has to have an internship for her business degree,
Speaker 5: and so she just is living with me for eight
Speaker 5: weeks as my intern.
Speaker 6: Which is weird because she was so sweet.
Speaker 5: She sent me a tech asking and we recorded a
Speaker 5: little podcast actually, so it's my four Things episode this
Speaker 5: week she's going to do four different episodes with me,
Speaker 5: so for there's four Thursdays in the month of June,
Speaker 5: so she's gonna be my co host oh for them,
Speaker 5: and she's practicing just coming up with ideas and the
Speaker 5: one she came up.
Speaker 1: But this week is.
Speaker 5: About how she grew up in like the hangout house, okay,
Speaker 5: like her parents just always made it welcome for her friends. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and that's the kind of house I want to be.
Speaker 5: But I'm a little bit more just not how my
Speaker 5: sister and I grew up. So that my sister and
Speaker 5: her husband, they cultivated this environment for kids, and I
Speaker 5: am now now that I have teenagers, I'm taking notes
Speaker 5: like wait, what do I need to do? And why
Speaker 5: am I so rigid about this or uptight? And my
Speaker 5: sister can be that way too, just wanting order because
Speaker 5: we just feel better when our mom was that way.
Speaker 5: She felt better when she was vacuuming and there was lines,
Speaker 5: or for me, it's like when the laundry is folded
Speaker 5: and when the countertops are clean and some of that
Speaker 5: you just have to release and surrender no matter what
Speaker 5: anything looks like, and be okay with mess.
Speaker 6: But you're making connection over that sort of stuff, and
Speaker 6: so she just talked about.
Speaker 5: Being a teenager and now that she's twenty one, she
Speaker 5: was like, I don't know that I appreciated it fully
Speaker 5: at the time. And it wasn't complicated, like they didn't
Speaker 5: overthink it. It just was easy. My mom just always
Speaker 5: made sure that if we were all outside doing something
Speaker 5: that she'd walk outside with a tray full of cheese toasts.
Speaker 5: So again nothing crazy. Is a piece of bread with
Speaker 5: cheese on top that she would throw in the oven
Speaker 5: at three fifty for a few minutes and let the
Speaker 5: cheese bubble up. So and the kids thought, well that
Speaker 5: was great. There was just always food.
Speaker 6: There was.
Speaker 5: If they would get in the hot tab, shoot my
Speaker 5: mom or my mom my sister, her mom would just
Speaker 5: walk out with towels right away and say like get in,
Speaker 5: like come, And then extra stools in the kitchen and
Speaker 5: are in the dining room so that anybody could pull
Speaker 5: a seat up to the table because they're a family
Speaker 5: of six and their table literally fits six, so you
Speaker 5: have to put a tiny stool up to the table.
Speaker 5: But they've squeezed you know, fifteen or more around and
Speaker 5: they did that often. So anyway, it's just something I've
Speaker 5: been thinking about as I move into a new house.
Speaker 5: That's another life update. I'm going to be moving and
Speaker 5: it's like, Okay, what do I want the energy of
Speaker 5: this house to be? And while I want it to
Speaker 5: be a no shoes house.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's okay. You give mean no shoes and still
Speaker 4: be the house.
Speaker 1: That was how our house was.
Speaker 5: So I tried that in my home that I'm currently in,
Speaker 5: and it just it was difficult to implement, and that
Speaker 5: is on me. I just wasn't disciplined enough. I do
Speaker 5: feel when you go into a new space, it's a
Speaker 5: new opportunity and mentally that's a good thing for me
Speaker 5: to just be like, Okay, new space, new behavior, and
Speaker 5: my new behaviors for this new space are yeah, I
Speaker 5: would prefer it to be a no shoe house. And also,
Speaker 5: but you know, kids everywhere and friends everywhere, and people
Speaker 5: everywhere and some people that don't have kids. Adeline and
Speaker 5: I touch on that too, and just talk about that
Speaker 5: your friends are always welcome.
Speaker 6: I currently have a pool where I live.
Speaker 1: Don't.
Speaker 5: I won't at my new house. But I love that
Speaker 5: some of my girlfriends. I come home on a Saturday
Speaker 5: after doing something and they're my backyard laying.
Speaker 4: Out because they they know how to get it.
Speaker 5: They just go make themselves at home, and I love
Speaker 5: coming home to that. I won't have that sort of
Speaker 5: vibe with my girlfriends at my new house, but one
Speaker 5: of my friends that uses it often, she's like, it's okay,
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna put a kiddy pool in your backyard.
Speaker 5: I'll be over because she just likes being in a home.
Speaker 5: She lives in an apartment and wants more of like
Speaker 5: a homie vibe when she needs a little break from
Speaker 5: her space. And so I guess I want to create that.
Speaker 5: And Adeline said for some of her friends that didn't
Speaker 5: have a good family life, they were always it was
Speaker 5: always welcome. They could spend the night three, four or
Speaker 5: five nights in a row. And I just thought my
Speaker 5: sister would be a little more rigid than that, like
Speaker 5: even on school nights and stuff. But it was more
Speaker 5: connection over anything else. And we talk about, you know,
Speaker 5: some other stories I had with my teenage daughter recently
Speaker 5: where I could have been more uptight, but I decided
Speaker 5: to just chill out and it did. It created more
Speaker 5: space for connection with her and her friends, and I
Speaker 5: now feel like a safe space instead of a super
Speaker 5: strict mom. And then there's rules and boundaries.
Speaker 6: But so that's a two big life updates.
Speaker 5: My niece is living with me for a week's doing
Speaker 5: more than just the podcast stuff. But I just thought
Speaker 5: that would be a fun thing for her to work
Speaker 5: on in addition to some other stuff that she's going
Speaker 5: to be putting together or helping me with.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't really know what to do it
Speaker 5: in in turn, but we can come up with stuff
Speaker 5: and sure get you credit because it's not artificial iHeart thing,
Speaker 5: it's you know, other stuff that I have going on
Speaker 5: on the side, even though the podcast is parted by heart,
Speaker 5: but you know what I mean. And then moving that's
Speaker 5: the other update. So loaded question.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I started off very hard, coming very well.
Speaker 5: No, I mean I feel comfortable with those two updates.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 6: I feel like they're there. They were ones that feel
Speaker 6: really good to me.
Speaker 5: I'm very happy about both of those things.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 5: I don't have any you know, want want updates for you.
Speaker 4: No, those are good updates. They're fun updates.
Speaker 3: A lot happening and a lot of movement happening. Around
Speaker 3: a house in particular.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what was your house like as a kid.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we were definitely the hosting household. Now it
Speaker 3: was more of my parents, just we. We also had
Speaker 3: a pool. I think a pool is a gathering spot
Speaker 3: and that helps a lot. But we just always hung
Speaker 3: out at my house or we'd be running back and
Speaker 3: forth between The cool thing when we were growing up
Speaker 3: is a lot of us lived by each other, so
Speaker 3: we'd be running around the neighborhood and we'd just pop
Speaker 3: into everybody's different house.
Speaker 4: So it was like back and forth, and the parents
Speaker 4: were like wherethy at now?
Speaker 3: But it was one of the three or four houses
Speaker 3: in the neighborhood, so they knew they could locate us
Speaker 3: somewhere if they were needed to.
Speaker 4: But I loved that.
Speaker 3: I loved being able to just go into each and
Speaker 3: it felt like everybody was family. So it was a
Speaker 3: similar vibe of the hosting house, but we had multiple
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, I that's I interview your parents and
Speaker 5: see how they, you know.
Speaker 4: Created that they're dead to rigid too.
Speaker 5: Okay, so for them, they're rigid, but it also probably
Speaker 5: so it took some intention from them of like, hey,
Speaker 5: we'd rather have them here than who knows where, and.
Speaker 3: They always said that they would always be like, hey,
Speaker 3: we want to make sure you're safe and we want
Speaker 3: to make sure that you are comfortable, but definitely we
Speaker 3: have rules. Like I was doing my dad the next
Speaker 3: morning he's like, we are cleaning this house and I'm
Speaker 3: like okay, And that was like hard at the time.
Speaker 3: Now I understand. I'm the same way. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: always want my house clean. So they had their moments
Speaker 3: where it'd be like, go have fun, and then the
Speaker 3: next morning, okay, time to clean, So there was the
Speaker 3: balance between the two.
Speaker 5: Adeline shared an expectation her parents have and she's like,
Speaker 5: my friends, no, She's like, especially my best best friends.
Speaker 6: That were there a lot.
Speaker 5: You'll if you go listen to the podcast it's four
Speaker 5: Things where they meet Brown, you can hear more about
Speaker 5: it because there's a lot of little nuggets that I
Speaker 5: never really thought about. But it's serving both sides of
Speaker 5: the table. So my sister and her husband, they will
Speaker 5: serve the kids, but they're not going to do it
Speaker 5: to a point of exhaustion and that you're not contributing,
Speaker 5: because some parents will do that if they just want
Speaker 5: their friends everybody to have a good time, and they
Speaker 5: wear themselves out. And that's not what my sister does either.
Speaker 5: She keeps it simple. She loves having everybody, but serving
Speaker 5: both sides of the table is a requirement of entry,
Speaker 5: which means, you know, she may set up a taco
Speaker 5: bar or something like something easy like throw chicken in
Speaker 5: the crockpot and shredded chicken with some tortillas and make
Speaker 5: it easy for a lot of kids to eat, and
Speaker 5: everybody gather around the table, and you're required like, let's
Speaker 5: gather around the table and really be together, even if
Speaker 5: it's just for ten minutes, and then you'll go back outside.
Speaker 5: But once you're done, you pick up and you go
Speaker 5: into the kitchen and everybody pitches in cleaning up, and
Speaker 5: it happens that moment. It's not weighted or excuse me,
Speaker 5: is wait, it's not weighted. I don't know why I
Speaker 5: said it that way. It's not something they delay until later.
Speaker 5: They just go ahead and do it, and it's an
Speaker 5: act of service. Full circle, and that she said that
Speaker 5: has helped a lot. And she goes, we'll make it fun,
Speaker 5: like we'll set a timer and everybody does their quick
Speaker 5: pu we turn on music, we have dance party in
Speaker 5: the kitchen. But really, I mean, their house is just
Speaker 5: always full of kids, so you have to have some
Speaker 5: structure in order to the chaos, and so serving both
Speaker 5: sides of the table was a way that they do that,
Speaker 5: And I thought, gosh, I my brain would be like, oh,
Speaker 5: I just want them to have fun, so we'll leave
Speaker 5: the kitchen a mess and figure it out later. And
Speaker 5: now I'm going to just have a different way of
Speaker 5: thinking with that, which I think will serve them well too,
Speaker 5: and how they grow up and how they interact and
Speaker 5: what they do instead of me trying to please, please, please,
Speaker 5: which then makes me more tired and then more rigid,
Speaker 5: and then it's a domino effect and then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: never mind, I don't.
Speaker 1: Want these kids in my home.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta allow them to help you out, And
Speaker 3: I think that's an important part of that for sure. Well,
Speaker 3: I don't have any massive, feel like life updates, but
Speaker 3: I did just get back from passion Palm Springs.
Speaker 5: I feel like you have some life updates, but you
Speaker 5: sure what you want?
Speaker 6: Well, you're like a little all over the place.
Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness, travel bog lately, my life feels super chaotic.
Speaker 3: But I did just plan an entire bacherette trip for
Speaker 3: my sister in Palm Springs, and I had so much fun.
Speaker 3: I loved Palm Springs. I don't know what I was
Speaker 3: expecting going out there. It's definitely a desert, but Palm Springs,
Speaker 3: the little town sits at the bottom of a mountain,
Speaker 3: and it's just beautiful views all the time, and it
Speaker 3: feels amazing. Some moments are really spicy, very hot because
Speaker 3: you're in the desert, but we have the best time.
Speaker 3: I drove a ten passenger van for the first time.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine me just sitting there in this huge,
Speaker 3: giant white van. No, and I drove all of us
Speaker 3: around in Joshua Tree National Park.
Speaker 1: So you're you rented that all about yourself.
Speaker 3: I rented it, went picked it up from the airport
Speaker 3: while everybody was getting ready, got it back, and I
Speaker 3: got us all the Joshua Tree and everybody was safe.
Speaker 3: It was great and we had so much fun in
Speaker 3: like the actual Joshua Tree, which.
Speaker 4: Feels very otherworldly, which I did not know.
Speaker 3: Joshua trees are called the Tree of Life, which is
Speaker 3: super cool.
Speaker 4: They look like.
Speaker 3: Doctor Seus's trees something you'd see in a doctor Seus's book,
Speaker 3: very spyly worldly.
Speaker 4: So it's cool the seal of those.
Speaker 3: But we did get in Joshua Tree National Park. So bees,
Speaker 3: bumblebees are apparently very dehydrated in places like the desert,
Speaker 3: so they're kind of, uh, super chaotic and looking for water. Well,
Speaker 3: we parked in one of this area where there was
Speaker 3: all these giant cactuses everywhere, and as soon as we parked,
Speaker 3: we didn't know this going in. We were supposed to
Speaker 3: like sit in the cart for ten minutes and let
Speaker 3: the air conditioner like dry out. Well, we got out
Speaker 3: immediately and there were bees swarm everywhere everywhere like chaotically
Speaker 3: wanted the perspiration off of us. They wanted the air
Speaker 3: like the basically the dripping hydration that came out of
Speaker 3: the air condition of the van.
Speaker 4: They were everywhere. You would have thought that, like these
Speaker 4: bees were swarming over.
Speaker 3: Like a dead body somewhere. That's what the chaoticness of
Speaker 3: what it felt like. And so we were in this
Speaker 3: it was called the Cholla Cactus Garden for maybe ten
Speaker 3: minutes because everybody kept screaming. One of the girls got
Speaker 3: stung by a bee like p are chaos, and then
Speaker 3: my mom couldn't get she had actually hit like the
Speaker 3: emergency part break on the van and she couldn't get
Speaker 3: it to back out. While I'm just like frolicking in
Speaker 3: the cactus garden and then I hear all these screams,
Speaker 3: so I like come out and there's like just pure
Speaker 3: chaos of bees everywhere.
Speaker 5: Know that about bees, you would think they would just
Speaker 5: migrate to where they could get water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're like make migration is different.
Speaker 3: Then you know how birds can fly forever. If bees
Speaker 3: can only go a certain oh yeah about.
Speaker 5: I think they have lived an about but I mean
Speaker 5: they could take a little plane, a road trip, take
Speaker 5: take on a minute.
Speaker 1: But a few miles of the tower from.
Speaker 5: The cac Die is cac Die, I believe it is. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so then they get it from there. But that makes sense.
Speaker 5: I feel like I run around chaotic, dehydrated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you need water, like I get it. They
Speaker 3: want to support their beehive.
Speaker 4: And sometimes when that's happening, you're a little kaotic.
Speaker 3: So that was our b experience in Joshua Tree and
Speaker 3: then me driving the passenger van.
Speaker 4: So it was It was really fun though, like, besides.
Speaker 3: Besides that moment and the beasting and everything, we had
Speaker 3: so much fun and palm springs.
Speaker 4: I did karaoke at a bar. I did karaoke in
Speaker 4: an uber.
Speaker 1: Oh they had that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never done that. I've just seen it, like
Speaker 5: people post about it or on TV.
Speaker 6: There's that show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a guy and he didn't speak much English,
Speaker 3: and I think his way of connecting with people was
Speaker 3: through music, which I thought was a really cool idea.
Speaker 3: And he he was like, I don't he basically he
Speaker 3: could say I don't speak English, and he just pointed
Speaker 3: to the microphone. And I was in the front seat.
Speaker 4: I was like, well, yes, we're doing karaoke and the tuber.
Speaker 3: Today, So I didn't man, I feel like a woman
Speaker 3: by Schneich pain and he got a great show.
Speaker 1: That's fun during it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was fun. That feels like my big
Speaker 4: life update right now.
Speaker 5: So being at a bachelorette party and planning for your
Speaker 5: sister's wedding does it make you want to get married?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: I think it kind of does the opposite.
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to.
Speaker 3: I want to get married one day, but I don't
Speaker 3: know that I want the full thing. Like I would
Speaker 3: totally be okay with running off getting married on the
Speaker 3: mountain and saying, hey, guess what, I'm married and not
Speaker 3: doing all the planning and stuff. There's so much that
Speaker 3: goes into it, and so much money and so much time,
Speaker 3: and like, I want to be celebrated by everybody that
Speaker 3: I love, and I think that part is really cool,
Speaker 3: But gosh, the stress that I've just seen. I'm in
Speaker 3: three weddings this year, and I've just watched people be
Speaker 3: so stressed out and spent so much money on weddings
Speaker 3: and bringing everybody together, which I think is super cool.
Speaker 4: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm leaning towards now watching this whole experience of
Speaker 3: being like, you know, whoever wants to come, we're going
Speaker 3: to be on this now and at this time. Come
Speaker 3: if you want to, don't, It's cool. We'll be back
Speaker 3: and we'll be married, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just talking to another friend actually that
Speaker 5: is in a pretty serious relationship now, and.
Speaker 6: It got serious fast. It's sort of like you.
Speaker 5: And they met on hinge or bumble or whatever, and
Speaker 5: she's had a pretty rocky dating relationship.
Speaker 1: But it's crazy to.
Speaker 5: Think that this one day it's now changed everything for her.
Speaker 5: I mean, they are definitely planning on getting married, and
Speaker 5: she doesn't want a wedding similar to you, or she
Speaker 5: could take it or leave it sort of. She just
Speaker 5: doesn't want to deal with that. But he really wants
Speaker 5: the full shebang. Okay, yeah, which is which is interesting
Speaker 5: because you think could be flipped.
Speaker 3: But well, I think so much of the planning traditionally
Speaker 3: would go on the women. I think men are becoming
Speaker 3: more involved, which is really cool to see.
Speaker 4: My sister, my sister's fiance is very involved.
Speaker 3: He wants to be a part of all the planning
Speaker 3: and everything, which has been cool to watch.
Speaker 4: But it is it's a lot of pressure, a lot
Speaker 4: of time.
Speaker 3: It's like a second job trying to plan a whole
Speaker 3: event like that. So I do get it, and I
Speaker 3: have the same I have a friend they got married
Speaker 3: or they got they met each other in October of
Speaker 3: last year, got engaged like a month and a half ago,
Speaker 3: and they're getting married this September. Insane turn around, like
Speaker 3: of time, but they're just like madly in love and
Speaker 3: ready to be married.
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, here we go. But one year in
Speaker 4: a wedding, that's a lot.
Speaker 3: So that's what's going on, a lot of wedding stuff
Speaker 3: for everybody else, not me. I'm not getting married this year.
Speaker 3: I'm just participating in a lot of them.
Speaker 6: And we're only halfway through the year.
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: What is something you've done? After seeing it on the internet,
Speaker 4: and the reason I asked this, I can kind of
Speaker 4: give you what happened to me.
Speaker 3: I had seen a psychologist on TikTok about if you
Speaker 3: dress up during your errand running, more people will respect you,
Speaker 3: you might get better interactions, and things will just naturally
Speaker 3: go better for you because you're presenting yourself in this
Speaker 3: pretty respectful manner rather than being in your yoga pants
Speaker 3: and sweatpants and your hair thrown about. I was like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: I really love my comfy clothes and I run errands
Speaker 3: because you're running all over the place you don't want
Speaker 3: to be in like slacks and heels.
Speaker 4: I was like, let me test out this theory just
Speaker 4: to see how it goes.
Speaker 3: So I did my grocery shopping and I ran like
Speaker 3: three other errands and I was in. I wasn't in
Speaker 3: like dress slex, but I was in my work clothes
Speaker 3: and I had like a cute blouse on and jeans
Speaker 3: and some booties.
Speaker 4: Amy.
Speaker 3: I got approached five different times in the grocery store
Speaker 3: by employees asking if I needed anything or help looking
Speaker 3: for stuff, And then when I brought it to the cashier,
Speaker 3: they not only unloaded my groceries from the car onto
Speaker 3: the conveyor belt, but then bagged them for me and
Speaker 3: was like, do you want me to take them to
Speaker 3: the car for you? And I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 3: This has never happened to me. I've never had that
Speaker 3: experience before.
Speaker 5: Do you think maybe you need like a to build
Speaker 5: more of a case study. You try it a few
Speaker 5: more times to see if that happens. And it wasn't
Speaker 5: just like a fluke day, but also it could actually
Speaker 5: be if they're saying, if the psychologist is saying it,
Speaker 5: there's clearly researched behind it. But for you, I'm just wondering, huh.
Speaker 5: That is pretty fascinating that that the one time you
Speaker 5: try it, that there's all this whatever it is inside
Speaker 5: of our brains that makes us be like, oh we
Speaker 5: need to make sure that this person is taken care
Speaker 5: of exactly.
Speaker 3: So yes, I am going to tempt it more. This
Speaker 3: is just my first run at it to see how
Speaker 3: it worked. But I was kind of like, take it aback, Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: that VIP style.
Speaker 5: And that's interesting because I run around in no yoga
Speaker 5: clothes and I don't really want to test it out.
Speaker 5: So that's why I'm saying, if you'll test it out more,
Speaker 5: that'd be great.
Speaker 4: I got you, and then well I did at the
Speaker 4: end of it, ass like dang, my fee hurt.
Speaker 3: I don't want to keep walking around on these shoes.
Speaker 3: I want to be in my sneakers, and you know
Speaker 3: I don't. I just when I'm running errands. I don't
Speaker 3: necessarily care. It was just more that I wanted to
Speaker 3: see if this psychologist, you know, you hear and read
Speaker 3: about a lot of things, and I'm like, okay, is
Speaker 3: it actually true if I put this to use in
Speaker 3: real life?
Speaker 4: Is this actually true?
Speaker 3: And that was my attempt at doing it, and I
Speaker 3: was like, dang, So I'm going to give it at
Speaker 3: least like three more gos. It just might take me
Speaker 3: until the rest of the year to fully accomplish that.
Speaker 4: Case study.
Speaker 5: Well, the House of Color. Hannah is her name. She
Speaker 5: lives here and now she's I mean, she was just
Speaker 5: on is the Hannah Alabama Hannah from oh Hannah Brown,
Speaker 5: Hannah Brown. So she was just on her podcast. Just
Speaker 5: I've seen a lot of people having this song, like
Speaker 5: the Today Show did it. She was on my podcast
Speaker 5: a couple of months ago, or maybe it was February.
Speaker 5: By now this year is flying. But she will do
Speaker 5: your colors, and so I went over to her office
Speaker 5: and she picked my color palette. Yeah, and this is
Speaker 5: in a similar vein of what you're talking about. But
Speaker 5: she said, if you start to wear your colors consistently
Speaker 5: and the ones that really do brighten you up, and
Speaker 5: you would You're looking in the mirror and you're the
Speaker 5: same you have the same hair, same pacup.
Speaker 1: You're not moving.
Speaker 5: She's just putting different color swatches on your chest to
Speaker 5: see how your eyes, skin, how everything, your hair, everything
Speaker 5: looks with it. And certain colors would just pop.
Speaker 6: It was crazy.
Speaker 5: And then she would take it away and put another
Speaker 5: one on and I kind of looked like, you know,
Speaker 5: a little sick yell, and then she would put the
Speaker 5: other one and I look, you know, happier and healthier,
Speaker 5: and so we determined, I guess I'm a summer, A
Speaker 5: cool summer. Is my color palette?
Speaker 4: Which what are your main colors that you should be wearing?
Speaker 6: Navy?
Speaker 5: She said that black is not my friend, and that.
Speaker 4: Which is really black because everybody's friend, yes, and.
Speaker 1: You know that may be the case.
Speaker 5: It doesn't mean that I went and got rid of
Speaker 5: all my black. But she said, if you have a
Speaker 5: business meeting or an important thing, where navy like a
Speaker 5: rich deep I think in her color wheel it was
Speaker 5: called like French navy. And she gives you this little
Speaker 5: color palette thing that you can take around with you
Speaker 5: when you go shopping, and you can put.
Speaker 6: Clothes up to it and be like, is this my color?
Speaker 6: Is this my color?
Speaker 5: Is this my color? Which seems a little ridiculous to
Speaker 5: walk around, But Navy's on there. Mushroom is another one
Speaker 5: that is my color, not white white, but.
Speaker 6: A soft white.
Speaker 5: Okay, this blue I have on and it's it's allowed
Speaker 5: me to branch out when it comes to my shopping
Speaker 5: my wardrobe because I was so black and white, because
Speaker 5: to me, that was less thinking. I just okay, if
Speaker 5: I know I get this in black and white. I
Speaker 5: can wear it with a lot of different things and
Speaker 5: it'll be easy and I don't want to think about it. Well,
Speaker 5: now I have more color. I guess this is just
Speaker 5: like a blue button down that I ordered on Amazon.
Speaker 5: After speaking of seeing things online, I saw somebody posted
Speaker 5: and they added their Amazon link.
Speaker 6: So I was like, oh, that's cute.
Speaker 1: Get that.
Speaker 5: And I don't think I normally would have ordered the blue.
Speaker 5: I would have maybe gone to the link and then
Speaker 5: ordered the black or the white. Yeah, but I decided
Speaker 5: to just order the blue because this is a blue
Speaker 5: that's on my color. Pellette denim is another good color
Speaker 5: for summer cool summer palettes, and so I guess she
Speaker 5: goes win in doubt, just put on dinum if you're
Speaker 5: having one of those days.
Speaker 6: And luckily that's easy.
Speaker 1: Since I was gonna say, at least you now have.
Speaker 3: An easy thing from going from like black being your
Speaker 3: easy thing, at least you have dinnim, you.
Speaker 4: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It could have been like just wear red and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: it's a pretty bright color.
Speaker 4: Were all the time?
Speaker 5: Well, and there's different shades of red, so there's some
Speaker 5: reds that would work for my skin tone, so it's
Speaker 5: your underlying skin tone. So the first question I asked
Speaker 5: her is, well, what if I am getting a spray tan, that's.
Speaker 1: A fair question.
Speaker 4: Makes you feel really good?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean if let's just admit, if you're having
Speaker 5: a bad day or you're feeling blah and then you
Speaker 5: get a spray tan and you're like, oh, okay, I'm cool, Like.
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong with me.
Speaker 5: I just needed a little color because I have really pale,
Speaker 5: irish skin and I don't do well in the sun.
Speaker 5: I do still try to get in the sun and
Speaker 5: get some vitamin D. I don't run from it, but
Speaker 5: I can't be out there too long and get pink.
Speaker 5: We had a lunch the other day here at work,
Speaker 5: and we went out and we had to sit outside
Speaker 5: because the inside was full, and I had on a
Speaker 5: tank top and my shoulders and arms because I didn't
Speaker 5: plan on being outside and I had no sunscreen on
Speaker 5: are pink just from that lunch.
Speaker 1: And you know, meanwhile, you.
Speaker 5: Have other skin tones, like well, Eddie's Hispanics. That might
Speaker 5: not be a fair representation, but he wouldn't, that wouldn't
Speaker 5: happen to him. But I have some other friends there
Speaker 5: they're underlying skin tone. They would sit out there and
Speaker 5: they would still turn brown, they would turn pink. So
Speaker 5: it's your underlying skin tone. Even with a spray tan,
Speaker 5: everything is the same. You still stick to the because
Speaker 5: it's underlying. It's taking in a lot of different factors
Speaker 5: and like the hair color and the eyes and whatnot.
Speaker 5: But I really enjoyed it, and I didn't know how
Speaker 5: I felt about it at first, like having to redo
Speaker 5: my closet. But she said it takes most clients about
Speaker 5: three years to build your closet with your color palette.
Speaker 5: So don't put that stress of now I can't wear this,
Speaker 5: or I got to wear that. Of course, I still
Speaker 5: wear black because I have things that I really like,
Speaker 5: but I also now will entertain. Oh, I should get
Speaker 5: this navy blazer. I was at Ritzia a couple weeks
Speaker 5: ago with my daughter and they had this awesome blazer
Speaker 5: and they had it in black and navy. I would
Speaker 5: have typically gone for the black, but now I bought
Speaker 5: the navy blazer and I'm saving it for a meeting.
Speaker 1: I like an important meeting.
Speaker 5: Just Oh, so back to what you were saying about
Speaker 5: the the grocery store and how people treat you. She
Speaker 5: did say, once you start to consistently wear your colors,
Speaker 5: you'll notice you're treated differently because something about you is
Speaker 5: also exuding more confidence.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you two even.
Speaker 5: Dressed up at the grocery store there is It's not
Speaker 5: just that they're looking at what you're wearing. It's probably
Speaker 5: an energy you're giving off too, because you're feeling more confident.
Speaker 4: Maybe true, though, because you know when you go out.
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but when I go out.
Speaker 3: In public and I'm dressed kind of like am I
Speaker 3: eye just woke up from a nap and hear my
Speaker 3: sweats and my head's on my hair, I don't make
Speaker 3: a lot of eye contact.
Speaker 1: With people your hairs on your head.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, let me just get through. I gotta
Speaker 4: get what I get and like keep.
Speaker 3: My head down and I keep to myself and right,
Speaker 3: get it and I get out. So maybe there is
Speaker 3: a level of that where I'm just open to the
Speaker 3: world than open to people talking to me because I'm
Speaker 3: more presonable.
Speaker 4: So I'm sure it has something to do with that. Absolutely.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she said, it's fascinating to watch and you'll see it,
Speaker 5: So I see what you tested out, and then I
Speaker 5: don't know that I've been wearing it all consistently enough
Speaker 5: to where I noticed that people are treating me differently.
Speaker 6: But I do have on my color palette today, so
Speaker 6: I'll keep you posting.
Speaker 4: Deal, you got to start doing it. It's just like
Speaker 4: the red nail theory when I did that.
Speaker 3: When you start going on dates, you gotta change up.
Speaker 3: You gotta do red nails.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's Mel Robbins.
Speaker 5: Had someone on our podcast recently and I was telling
Speaker 5: Bobby about it on the show because he loves red
Speaker 5: and I can't remember if you as a neurologist, some
Speaker 5: sort of doctor, and he was talking about the power
Speaker 5: of the color red, not just red nails, but wearing
Speaker 5: red and what it can do for you and team
Speaker 5: like sports teams wearing red and if there's a red
Speaker 5: team versus blue team, sure the blue team will win,
Speaker 5: but red team has more wins. It's just the way,
Speaker 5: and it's equal playing feels like both really talented teams,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 3: So it's funny how color and energy is so important
Speaker 3: in our day to day lives.
Speaker 5: I will yeah, and I will say this about the
Speaker 5: red and what Hannah taught me is because there's different
Speaker 5: shades of red. So she I saw some girls posting
Speaker 5: on Instagram that had gotten their color done.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing this.
Speaker 5: On like Instagram and talk talk because it's very popular
Speaker 5: right now, right Okay? So because to me it felt crazy,
Speaker 5: I was like, what, this can't be real. But when
Speaker 5: I see people posting them like oh, and they would
Speaker 5: do side by side of their nails, like of the
Speaker 5: red just with their hands, their skin color on their hands,
Speaker 5: You're not seeing their face and the red they would
Speaker 5: normally get on one hand and then the red that
Speaker 5: fit their color palette on the other, and it was
Speaker 5: different shades of red and their hand looked better with it,
Speaker 5: and you didn't know, like I'm not looking and knowing
Speaker 5: for sure which color is there is, I'm looking at
Speaker 5: it an image and I'm like, okay, that is the
Speaker 5: better hand, and then I go read the caption and
Speaker 5: sure enough, that's the hand that's the appropriate color palette.
Speaker 5: So it's like, like, my veins are really blue green,
Speaker 5: like there's something about the right red that will compliment
Speaker 5: that better than the wrong red. Over so even down
Speaker 5: to your nail color.
Speaker 4: You keep telling me I need to go get that
Speaker 4: done and I really I.
Speaker 5: Really need Oh did I talk about this last time?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: You and I talked about it at lunch okay time,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I need to go and do this,
Speaker 3: and I just I haven't even been home enough to
Speaker 3: do it, but I need to go and do it,
Speaker 3: especially before she's all booked up.
Speaker 4: What she probably already is sounds like she's been on
Speaker 4: a lot of things.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but I can text her and sull. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 5: and I was a paying customer. I'm not you know's
Speaker 5: she's fabulous. Like I went as a paying customer first,
Speaker 5: and then it liked it so much that I was
Speaker 5: asked her to come on my podcast and talk about it.
Speaker 3: So okay, well, I'm going to go. I need to
Speaker 3: go make an appointment and that needs to happen. We're
Speaker 3: gonna take one more quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 3: all right. Tiny moment, but big proud. When's the last
Speaker 3: like really tiny moment that happened, but you.
Speaker 4: Were majorly proud of yourself. It doesn't have to be
Speaker 4: anything significant, or it could be.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, for me, this isn't even okay. Here's
Speaker 5: how it becomes tiny is during my marriage. We were
Speaker 5: married seventeen years and lived in North Carolina, Austin, and Nashville.
Speaker 5: So we've owned five houses together. We've bought and sold
Speaker 5: five homes and been always handled all of it. So
Speaker 5: for one, I didn't appreciate a lot all that went
Speaker 5: into that, And I'm now handling that myself for the
Speaker 5: first time. So I'm forty three, and so it feels
Speaker 5: little because it's like, Okay, we've done this before, I
Speaker 5: should know how to do it. But then it feels
Speaker 5: huge because I'm doing it myself.
Speaker 4: I like it. That's it.
Speaker 3: That is tidy moment, big proud. Yeah, that's what I'm
Speaker 3: calling cunting moments, big proud. And maybe if I talk
Speaker 3: about these, you'll you'll have something too, What about yours?
Speaker 4: Mine has been was planning my sister's bachelrette.
Speaker 3: Anytime I go on a trip and somebody's like, this is,
Speaker 3: you know, so cool, He's planned such an awesome itinery I'm.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, that makes you feel really good. I don't
Speaker 4: know why. I don't know that I'll ever be like
Speaker 4: a travel advisor or.
Speaker 3: Anything, but I love planning trips for people and them
Speaker 3: coming away having the best time ever.
Speaker 4: That makes you feel so good. And then also.
Speaker 3: I was I went on I'm on social media all
Speaker 3: the time because of my job, but I was watching
Speaker 3: and Chris Stapleton posted that he was at Forgo mcgogle,
Speaker 3: which is the liquor store in Nashville, and he had
Speaker 3: signed his whiskey. And I had literally just passed this
Speaker 3: store and I was like, you know, let me turn around,
Speaker 3: and what do you know, there was something still there
Speaker 3: and I grabbed one, and now I have a signed
Speaker 3: bottle of Chris Stapleton whiskey, just because I happened to
Speaker 3: look on social media at the right time, and it
Speaker 3: was a very random reason to be proud of myself.
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know, I just like life
Speaker 3: works out funny and funny ways, and I just happened
Speaker 3: to be here in this moment to get this signed
Speaker 3: bottle of whiskey to have and maybe it will sit
Speaker 3: on my bar Kart for twenty years, maybe it'll be
Speaker 3: a really cool gift one day, maybe it'll who knows
Speaker 3: what could happen with this little bottle of whiskey.
Speaker 4: But it was like a right place, right time, and
Speaker 4: it was a tiny moment, big proud, little moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. So those are some of mine.
Speaker 5: I think it's good to acknowledge this and celebrate them,
Speaker 5: don't let them pass by.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta like acknowledge you when it just little
Speaker 3: things make you happy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good one to have with everyone around
Speaker 5: the table. You know, just circle back we were talking
Speaker 5: about at the beginning. If you're having your kids sitting down,
Speaker 5: you know, we.
Speaker 6: Do high low, we do what are you grateful for?
Speaker 5: Just around the table, those conversation starters, and that's a
Speaker 5: cute one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, tiny moment, big proud.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's your latest tiny moment big proud?
Speaker 4: Yes, any others that come to mind for you? While
Speaker 4: I was talking about those, because they're so they're so small,
Speaker 4: and they're just they seem inchesing. Ye say that word
Speaker 4: this morning.
Speaker 3: Insignificant maybe to other people, but in that moment, they
Speaker 3: made you feel big proud.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: We were just talking about how we paint our own
Speaker 5: nails and I used to get my nails done a lot.
Speaker 6: You're years ago.
Speaker 5: It's been a minute. But I have one friend where
Speaker 5: she will never give that up.
Speaker 6: That is her thing. She loves it.
Speaker 5: She loves doing that for herself and will never stop.
Speaker 5: She'll get she'll get a second job before she has
Speaker 5: to change that part of that's fair routine. And uh,
Speaker 5: for me, I never really enjoyed it. Of course I
Speaker 5: enjoyed like getting the gel and it would last a
Speaker 5: long time. And for me, I just wasn't my thing.
Speaker 5: And now I paint my own nails. And so I
Speaker 5: was just as you were talking and looking during the
Speaker 5: last little break, we were talking about how my nails
Speaker 5: just chipped, and I'm like, dang it, but I have
Speaker 5: just painted them myself and they did look really good
Speaker 5: right before that chip. And that's a tiny moment like
Speaker 5: beg proud of I can still do things that make
Speaker 5: me feel good. I mean, getting having my nails done
Speaker 5: makes me feel good. But I didn't necessarily love going
Speaker 5: to get it done. But sometimes that's just what I
Speaker 5: would end up doing. And it's like, oh, let me
Speaker 5: back it up and I can paint my own nails
Speaker 5: and save that time. There's a lot of time. It
Speaker 5: is a lot to save that money. And also the
Speaker 5: gel wasn't healthy for my fingers at least.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you do them over time too, especially, they
Speaker 3: are not good for you.
Speaker 6: Definitely not.
Speaker 5: So I get that that's a little silly, But I
Speaker 5: was looking down at my nails. I'm like, I'm kind
Speaker 5: of proud of myself for realizing I'm spending money on
Speaker 5: something that I don't even really enjoy that much, and
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna paint them myself. And I actually have
Speaker 5: gotten pretty good at it, even my non dominant hand,
Speaker 5: even though I'm technically ambidextrous.
Speaker 3: Technically see tiny moments, big proud, And maybe this will
Speaker 3: make you think of something going on in your life,
Speaker 3: to make you smile.
Speaker 4: If it's been a hard time lightly, whatever is going
Speaker 4: on for you.
Speaker 5: So And I think the more our brains recognize those moments,
Speaker 5: it helps you see them more and more, like even
Speaker 5: stuff you wouldn't think about, like my nail polish, like
Speaker 5: who really cares?
Speaker 1: But also it is.
Speaker 5: Truly something where I'm looking down and I'm like, and
Speaker 5: now I'm motivated to get home and fix this little chip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you want to and you start to add
Speaker 3: stuff like that into your routine so you can have
Speaker 3: more tiny moments.
Speaker 4: Big proud.
Speaker 5: My I wish I knew the name of this color.
Speaker 5: It might be called like Best Friend green or BF green.
Speaker 5: It's olive, in June. Yeah, that's my favorite nail polish.
Speaker 5: They have it at Walgreens, Target, or you can order
Speaker 5: it online. But their brushes, now that I'm an expert
Speaker 5: at painting.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 5: It's they have a brush that'll spread out wide, so
Speaker 5: like when you're doing it, it does don't take as
Speaker 5: many strokes to cover the entire nail, which I can appreciate.
Speaker 5: And this emerald green color that I have on is
Speaker 5: part of my color palette.
Speaker 3: Like it, we gotta go it and.
Speaker 6: It's fun for summer.
Speaker 5: I was inspired with the green by McKenzie Porter because
Speaker 5: she came on my four Things podcast. She came up
Speaker 5: here and we did an interview and she had on green.
Speaker 5: Hers was not necessarily emerald. Here's more of a green green.
Speaker 6: But that's not part of my color palet.
Speaker 1: But it looked really to me.
Speaker 5: It looked so cute and fun for summer and kind
Speaker 5: of edgy, and I'm the opposite of edgy. So this
Speaker 5: green on my nails is like my edge.
Speaker 4: Hey, at least you have an edge. Look at that
Speaker 4: your color palette has inspired an edge and need to
Speaker 4: paint your own nails.
Speaker 5: And McKinsey Porter, she was a new mom, and I
Speaker 5: think I was fascinated that as a new mom she
Speaker 5: was coming in. Her nails were done, She looked cute.
Speaker 5: Obviously she was there to promote something. She has an
Speaker 5: album coming out, so she has to pull herself together.
Speaker 5: But I was thinking, there's no way if I was
Speaker 5: the mother of a six week old that my nails
Speaker 5: would be done. But I'm sure she did that for herself,
Speaker 5: so that was probably her A tiny moment, big plan,
Speaker 5: big proud, big tiny moment, big proud.
