Speaker 3: You are a ventriloquist puppeteer. You've been doing this since
Speaker 3: you were ten. You're a huge manifestor. You're a voice
Speaker 3: for women and young girls. You are truly just a
Speaker 3: light to this world. You're using all the gifts that

Speaker 3: And our conversation was so inspiring. Him a new album
Speaker 3: dropping June six, which is awesome and so exciting and
Speaker 3: so draw off some cards. So I'm just gonna kind
Speaker 3: of point to one and tell me when stop.
Speaker 1: Well, I already see the one I want.
Speaker 3: Which one?
Speaker 1: Kay, it's towards the middle. It's a big, big one
Speaker 1: in the middle.
Speaker 3: Okay. What's one thing about yourself you're genuinely proud of?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2: I'm debating between two two both. I am genuinely proud
Speaker 2: of my joy.
Speaker 1: I'm able to have.
Speaker 2: Joy and hope and even in bad circumstances, I'm able
Speaker 2: to see the light and see the optimism and a situation.
Speaker 1: So I'm really.
Speaker 2: Really proud of that. And I'm also proud of my
Speaker 2: creativity of being able to make anything the mundane interesting,
Speaker 2: just like you know that I did a financial literacy
Speaker 2: project for kids and was able to make budgets fun
Speaker 2: and interesting. So yeah, I love joy and creativity.
Speaker 3: What do you think allows you to keep your joy
Speaker 3: in hard times and your creativity when things are boring? Like?
Speaker 3: What is that source?
Speaker 2: I would say the source of my joy comes from
Speaker 2: faith and knowing that we are loved by something bigger
Speaker 2: that wants the best for us. And so even in
Speaker 2: hard circumstances, there there is something greater that wants us
Speaker 2: to live our best lives and our best selves. And
Speaker 2: so I know that any heart, situation, feeling, moment is temporary,
Speaker 2: and so I can have joy.
Speaker 3: So true to remember that it's temporary. Like everything's temporary, Yeah,
Speaker 3: the good and the bad and the amazing and the sad, like,
Speaker 3: it's like, it's all temporary. So if you are resting
Speaker 3: your your whole joy in an emotion, it's gonna be fleeting.
Speaker 3: So when you put it in something that isn't fleeting,
Speaker 3: like a faith, then nothing can really take it away.
Speaker 3: That is very wise, but actually like letting living that
Speaker 3: out is as hard to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you summarize that will almost like I need to
Speaker 2: have that one out to mess up leading.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it. Let's make another one. Okay, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna tell me to stop that one.
Speaker 1: This one okay, well.
Speaker 3: Right hair, the one before it, this one, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do both since they both I'm gonna pull
Speaker 3: this one. Okay. What's something you find embarrassing?
Speaker 2: Oh, there, there's a lot of embarrassing things in my life.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a ventuloquiz.
Speaker 2: It's not that normal and it's a little.
Speaker 1: Off, especially traditional ventulocus when.
Speaker 2: You think of, you know, the puppets, the big wooden
Speaker 2: figures with the kind of like Chuckie style dolls. That's
Speaker 2: sometimes that's what people think of when I tell them
Speaker 2: I'm a ventuloquiz, and guilty, I have had some really
Speaker 2: creepy puppets. So not only did I have some creepy puppets,
Speaker 2: I also took J. C.
Speaker 1: Penny's pictures with them as my marketing as my marketing photos.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm a little embarrassed to that.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: My mom helped me break that embarrassment because she blew
Speaker 1: up a twenty x thirty picture of one of them
Speaker 1: and put it in her classroom.
Speaker 3: You got a proud mom. You gotta love mama for that.
Speaker 2: She texted me a picture of it, and I said, Mom,
Speaker 2: why didn't you use a recent picture, like you could
Speaker 2: have used anything other than my thirteen year old bracest
Speaker 2: picture with a you know, and.
Speaker 1: Tacey pennies and we had matching sweaters. It was, it
Speaker 1: was a whole thing.
Speaker 2: And so she was like, well, Megan, most of my
Speaker 2: kids are around the same age as you were when
Speaker 2: you started, so I figured it would inspire them of
Speaker 2: where what.
Speaker 1: It looks like to start. It was like, okay, that
Speaker 1: that makes me fool.
Speaker 3: That is very true. Yeah, I bet that does inspire
Speaker 3: those kids in your mom's class. Yeah, okay, so now
Speaker 3: you feel good about it.
Speaker 1: I should have thrown them away?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, okay. Last question, what's something you
Speaker 3: lost or misplaced that you still think about?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Wow, something I've lost or misplaced? I still think.
Speaker 2: About, I immediately think of my grandmother. So she was
Speaker 2: my biggest fan in one of my best friends. So
Speaker 2: on the days I would spend with her, we would
Speaker 2: just sit in the living room and chat and I
Speaker 2: play her piano. She was a pianist but didn't play anymore,
Speaker 2: so I would play for her. And she loved my puppets,
Speaker 2: and so I would perform and tell jokes for them,
Speaker 2: and she would help me like make their clothes and
Speaker 2: style them all.
Speaker 1: It was just a lot of fun. And so there
Speaker 1: were a couple of things that she gave me that
Speaker 1: whenever I looked at.
Speaker 2: Them, I just remembered our friendship and how she was
Speaker 2: the one that inspired me to keep going when it
Speaker 2: was really hard, because piano it's really hard.
Speaker 1: It's challenging, it's frustrating.
Speaker 2: I wanted to quit all the time, and I think
Speaker 2: she could sense in her you know, her wisdom, that
Speaker 2: I wanted to quit, and she would ask me to
Speaker 2: play the song over and over again, as if like
Speaker 2: she really loved it, but really she was probably just
Speaker 2: getting me to practice.
Speaker 3: That's amazing though, like your grandma keeping play, keeping it playful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So she would sit and play with me, and whenever
Speaker 2: I look at that bracelet, I remember our moment.
Speaker 1: I didn't know where it is.
Speaker 3: It's gonna pop up now. I feel like you know,
Speaker 3: once you like think about something and sometimes it just
Speaker 3: shows up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's at my parents' house, but that's
Speaker 2: you know, like going into a museums.
Speaker 3: So do your parents save everything everything?
Speaker 2: There's there's some things that my mom has called me
Speaker 2: about that she saved from second third grade projects everything.
Speaker 3: I of love that. So you've got very supportive, proud parents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very grateful for them and try not to
Speaker 2: put so much pressure on myself to be exactly how
Speaker 2: wonderful they were with my kids.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. Well, can you tell everyone what you have
Speaker 3: going on and where to find you because you have
Speaker 3: a lot going on. That's so exciting.
