<v Speaker 3>Which one?

<v Speaker 1>Kay, it's towards the middle. It's a big, big one

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>in the middle.

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay. What's one thing about yourself you're genuinely proud of?

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. I'm trying to think.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm debating between two two both. I am genuinely proud

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>of my joy.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm able to have.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Joy and hope and even in bad circumstances, I'm able

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.679
<v Speaker 2>to see the light and see the optimism and a situation.

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Really proud of that. And I'm also proud of my

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>creativity of being able to make anything the mundane interesting,

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 2>just like you know that I did a financial literacy

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 2>project for kids and was able to make budgets fun

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 2>and interesting. So yeah, I love joy and creativity.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 3>What do you think allows you to keep your joy

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 3>in hard times and your creativity when things are boring? Like?

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 3>What is that source?

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:32.399
<v Speaker 2>I would say the source of my joy comes from

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I would say the source of my joy comes from

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>faith and knowing that we are loved by something bigger

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>that wants the best for us. And so even in

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>hard circumstances, there there is something greater that wants us

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>to live our best lives and our best selves. And

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>so I know that any heart, situation, feeling, moment is temporary,

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>and so I can have joy.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 3>So true to remember that it's temporary. Like everything's temporary, Yeah,

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 3>the good and the bad and the amazing and the sad, like,

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 3>it's like, it's all temporary. So if you are resting

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 3>your your whole joy in an emotion, it's gonna be fleeting.

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 3>So when you put it in something that isn't fleeting,

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 3>like a faith, then nothing can really take it away.

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>That is very wise, but actually like letting living that

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 3>out is as hard to do.

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you summarize that will almost like I need to

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 2>have that one out to mess up leading.

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's do it. Let's make another one. Okay, I'm

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.119
<v Speaker 3>just gonna tell me to stop that one.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>This one okay, well.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 3>Right hair, the one before it, this one, yeah, okay,

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna do both since they both I'm gonna pull

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 3>this one. Okay. What's something you find embarrassing?

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there, there's a lot of embarrassing things in my life.

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm a ventuloquiz.

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not that normal and it's a little.

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Off, especially traditional ventulocus when.

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You think of, you know, the puppets, the big wooden

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>figures with the kind of like Chuckie style dolls. That's

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that's what people think of when I tell them

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm a ventuloquiz, and guilty, I have had some really

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 2>creepy puppets. So not only did I have some creepy puppets,

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I also took J. C.

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Penny's pictures with them as my marketing as my marketing photos.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm a little embarrassed to that.

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome.

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>My mom helped me break that embarrassment because she blew

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>up a twenty x thirty picture of one of them

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and put it in her classroom.

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 3>You got a proud mom. You gotta love mama for that.

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>She texted me a picture of it, and I said, Mom,

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>why didn't you use a recent picture, like you could

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>have used anything other than my thirteen year old bracest

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>picture with a you know, and.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Tacey pennies and we had matching sweaters. It was, it

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was a whole thing.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>And so she was like, well, Megan, most of my

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>kids are around the same age as you were when

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 2>you started, so I figured it would inspire them of

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>where what.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>It looks like to start. It was like, okay, that

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>that makes me fool.

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 3>That is very true. Yeah, I bet that does inspire

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 3>those kids in your mom's class. Yeah, okay, so now

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 3>you feel good about it.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:30.559
<v Speaker 1>I should have thrown them away?

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, okay. Last question, what's something you

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 3>lost or misplaced that you still think about?

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Wow, something I've lost or misplaced? I still think.

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 2>About, I immediately think of my grandmother. So she was

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 2>my biggest fan in one of my best friends. So

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>on the days I would spend with her, we would

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>just sit in the living room and chat and I

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>play her piano. She was a pianist but didn't play anymore,

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>so I would play for her. And she loved my puppets,

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and so I would perform and tell jokes for them,

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>and she would help me like make their clothes and

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>style them all.

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>It was just a lot of fun. And so there

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of things that she gave me that

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 1>whenever I looked at.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Them, I just remembered our friendship and how she was

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the one that inspired me to keep going when it

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>was really hard, because piano it's really hard.

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It's challenging, it's frustrating.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to quit all the time, and I think

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>she could sense in her you know, her wisdom, that

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to quit, and she would ask me to

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>play the song over and over again, as if like

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>she really loved it, but really she was probably just

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>getting me to practice.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing though, like your grandma keeping play, keeping it playful.

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly.

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 2>So she would sit and play with me, and whenever

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I look at that bracelet, I remember our moment.

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know where it is.

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna pop up now. I feel like you know,

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 3>once you like think about something and sometimes it just

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 3>shows up.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's at my parents' house, but that's

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like going into a museums.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 3>So do your parents save everything everything?

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 2>There's there's some things that my mom has called me

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>about that she saved from second third grade projects everything.

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I of love that. So you've got very supportive, proud parents.

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm very grateful for them and try not to

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.160

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.880
