All right, everyone. Good evening. This is an evening recording for coffee combos podcast, except you can't say good evening. People literally listen at 4 a.m. Oh, morning. Good morning listeners. Oh my gosh. What are you doing? I have run been running around like a chicken with its head cut off all day. Lux and Creed started school today. So Lux is first day of preschool and then Creed is first day of three hour pre-k play care. So and then we had football after that and just like getting everything done in the day and then football obviously at 6 p.m. but it's like 30 minutes away. You know mom stuff. You get it. You get it. Oh my

god. Well okay first of all before we even get into anything I am an emotional basket case right now before we started this recording I looked at Kylie Jenner's Instagram and saw her pregnancy announcement and literally have tears rolling down my face. Yes. The cutest thing ever. The cutest announcement. And honestly I love the fact that she's having another baby with him and then it just made me sad about myself and the fact that I'm not doing that and I'm like just so emotional. I totally get that part of it but she did such a cute job with that little announcement and I'm sure for her like my thoughts going

through like watching the whole I think it was like a minute and a half. I was like it must be nice for her to have like I know her first announcement or lack thereof it was like more to have peace and things like that but then you also run the risk of like it leaking and who's leaking it and not really having that peace of mind. So she got to enjoy her pregnancy but like constantly probably had to watch over her shoulder. This time she gets to share it with the world and kind of do it how she wants and live her best life so I think that's so cute. There's such a benefit to both scenarios there. I feel obviously never

to that capacity or anything but sometimes it's just like nice to feel like you have a secret in your life and something that you can control and yes the perspective of other people has no influence on any part of your decision making like I love that aspect of it but then also it's kind of nice to share all of the moments of life with like your social media family I guess or podcast family for us. Yeah no I totally agree with that they're like you said there's so many perks and benefits to both and I'm sure there's constable so it's just kind of like she did it one way where she was able to kind of keep it

to herself and really enjoy it and you know now she gets to share it so she's had kind of the best of both worlds probably. Actually I for the past month have just wanted to like keep my space like to myself and just like really enjoy it without sharing it and I shared a couple of pictures of my house tonight. I saw that on Instagram and I just really didn't want like a ton of opinions or listening to any of the noise I just wanted to really like relish in my new space and it like be solely mine and but it also does feel good to share so I can stop getting messages of people being like you're a hoarder of

your home and you don't let us see. Oh they just want to be a part of the experience with you. So have you been good? Has everything been going well? I feel like we haven't really chatted that much but I haven't been chatty Cathy for like weeks now so. I have been trying to respect that I know that you're going through so much that I'm I really try not to like bug you with a whole lot of just like stuff. Like your toenails and stuff like yeah. Yeah because I mean even when it's like just like random texts or whatever like I don't want that can become clutter and just like a nuisance when you have a lot on your mind so I just I've been

trying to like keep my distance and like let you have your space but I've been I've been pretty good. Things have been okay I have no real complaints I have no I'm nothing to complain about. Wow. I know. Not even broken toenails nothing. None. I have a pedicure and a manicure on Thursday and I'm very excited about it. Well I have a haircut on Thursday and it actually made me think that I need to talk about this on here because I want to know how many people who have gone through like really hard times of their life and resulted to like doing major hair changes or like getting a haircut what do they call it like the breakup

cut. Yes. You have done this. I have changed my hair drastically during changes. Oh well I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. One person that I talked to told me that she severely regretted it so I was like oh great I have my appointment on Thursday so I'm sure this will be like the next regret of my life. But I think I'm going a little bit darker. Okay well I mean winter's coming so it will be a good time to like experiment with darker colors. I feel like that's like a thing when you do like darker in the fall lighter in the summer. Yeah and does anyone else ever feel like you just one day you love your hair and you look

in the mirror and you're like I really love that bitch. And then the next day you wake up and you're like oh wow that really needs to change. Yes. Does anybody else do this or is this just me? No everyone does this. Everyone. You're not alone. You're like looking in the mirror and you're like wow my skin looks really dull my hair looks really dull my I don't have a manicure my toenails suck like. What is that seen from mean girls it's like they take turns looking in the mirror and like saying things that they hate about themselves. Oh man gosh Kale I need to watch that so bad I feel like that would put me in a really great

mood. I mean I need I have to watch that movie. Speaking of movies I did watch Clueless the other day just like well I had it on in the background for like background noise and I really loved that but someone told me about this movie that Mila Kunis is in and it's called for good days or something and I didn't really give it much thought but I was like I'll put it on my like watch list and then I'm scrolling on social media today and I see like screenshots of like the progression of Mila Kunis' character in the movie and they said it's super incredible movie and she did a really good job on her part so I'm actually

really curious to kind of watch that and see what my thoughts are. Wait so what is this movie about? Can you give any info or you have no idea? No it's I want to say it's about sobriety. Oh okay. So Mila Kunis is the main character and I will tell you right now. Give us a synopsis like something we can look forward to. Okay it is basically a story of truth lies and American addiction is what the description says and it starts Jen close or sorry not Jen close Glenn close or close Mila Kunis and Steven root. Okay well I'm gonna add it to the list of things to watch. I actually started watching Clickbait last

night. I can't get into it. I'm trying but I can't. How many episodes are you in? I'm only in one and I'm into it so. I started one and then I well I finished one and then I started two and I had to go back with for the episode one and like start rewatching it so that I could I don't know it just doesn't grab my attention. Well because it was like because there's a crime element you know to the show I definitely wanted to watch it and to be able to cover it on Coffee Convos podcast all eight episodes but I will say if you have not started watching it it's on Netflix it's a series eight episodes. After the first

episode though I am skeptical of the wife. Oh I the wife gives me weird vibes. My initial thought was did Pia plan this and she's trying to like get everyone's reaction. Okay yes I could also see that too but there's just something that just like rubs me wrong about the wife. Have you ever walked into a room and like been there with people and like one person just like really gives off a weird vibe? Yes. Yeah that's the vibe I got from the wife so I'll be interested to see how it all unfolds but if you guys have not started watching clickbait start watching it because I'm gonna be talking about it. And it's definitely

like you're either gonna love it or you're gonna hate it and I don't think it was like I hate it. I really don't think there's anything in between. Witness history in the making at this year's video music awards I've been I love them they're a good time it's a good show featuring one-of-a-kind live performances by all your favorite artists you guys know the deal it's just a fun night to like get popcorn watch with all your friends Sunday September 12th at 8 7 central on MTV witness the Foo Fighters take the stage as the VMA's first-ever global icon award recipients with even more groundbreaking

to like really have him to myself and I wanted it to be something special so I let him play hooky from school on Friday I know super bad mom but I just I was like you know what he can just skip on Friday not that big of a deal take him we get out of town and immediately I thought that I got food poisoning but now that Jackson has gotten sick I actually didn't get food poisoning it was some type of virus and when I tell you I was texting Kristen this morning she was like are you ever gonna catch a break like I was literally projectile vomiting it was so bad oh wow okay so that's not good and like I do not I mean

I don't do well with being sick at all period but like the row up sick is just another level of sickness that I'm not okay with but you mean to tell you what I did for the first time in my life because of you oh my god I'm scared I'm so scared I threw up in the sink all the times instead of throwing up in the toilet because now you freaked me out about the freaking toilet oh my god I literally felt so sick the other day from eating too much and I told my friend I was like she was at the house I was like I don't know what I'm gonna do because I only throw up in the sink and I also won't I can't do throw up like I

just can't so I was like I don't know what I'm gonna do because I throw up in the sink and then trying to get it this toilet just makes me want to throw up even more it's like this is where people have peed and pooped and I'm gonna go stick my head in it like literally literally maybe we should use like a bag or a bucket yeah I don't I don't know what we should do but it's also just like not what are we gonna do just have like a bag in a bucket readily available at all times you know I thought of you having that virus whenever we were in Chattanooga that time and each time I went to throw up I specifically went to

the sink because I it kept playing in my mind about you talking about why you don't throw up in the toilet oh I'm sorry I'm sorry and I'm like oh my gosh now I have to just like look at it so up close and personal like with it being in the sink and of course I'm like blaming the salad that I ate before because nobody had been sick around me so I was like nope it was definitely the salad E coli might have been the chicken that was on the salad and it was funny too I did like a Q&A on Instagram because I haven't really been that active on social media in the past like four or five weeks and somebody was like what's in a

salad that Jackson made that made you sick and I was like oh my gosh you'd be devastated if he thought that he had made me sick from a salad but really the amount of ranch that is used would make any human being sick but anyhow moving on where we are much better Jackson actually got sick for about six hours last night and I went over to Will's really quick when I found out that he was now puking his guts out and Will is a very has a very weak stomach and so he's like one of those people that's like the worst to be sick around because then he's gagging like while you're

gagging and it's like making your gagging worse have you ever known a person like that yes that actually all my kids are like that okay well I don't have a weak stomach like that so I can just sit and watch someone throw up and like it doesn't bother me but yeah will's like sitting there gagging at the toilet while Jackson's throwing up and I'm just like she away like just go do something like my my lord will but anyway so yeah that's what's been going on in my life for the past like four days so yeah it's been fun it's been busy it sounds like it sounds like there's a lot going on yeah and then all afternoon someone has

been FaceTiming me from 15 numbers and it keeps locking up my phone and they're also sending me freaking group text and it is not giving me the option to block it and it's freaking me out and if it's from an Android you can't like if it's like a group text with an Android and iPhones you can't remove yourself or remove other people only if it's like iPhone complete like completely iPhones I mean it's it's next love like every minute on the minute I swear to you like and they won't stop calling and I can't figure out how to block it and it's driving me nuts weird and I had gotten an email from the school saying do you

ever get these emails from the school and it's like you never knew anything about what was coming in the email but it's like this school-wide email and it's like we should have all known that it was gonna be pajama day tomorrow but like nobody knew do you ever get those emails because nobody knew that it was gonna be pajama day tomorrow or that they were serving breakfast for lunch up at the school and I called Will and I was like hey I need to come and pick Jackson up because it's pajama day at the school tomorrow and I don't want y'all waking up like frickin frack in the morning and like trying to hunt down

pajamas that match let me just like go and get him a pair and take care of this so I go over there leave my phone on the counter and I come back upstairs and all these face times are coming through and Will's standing over the face time with his nipple like on the face stop it right now oh my gosh I hope you didn't answer this you know how like on the face time like how it will already be a screen and you can kind of like see yourself yes yeah and it's just like Will's nipple on there and I'm like did he was he doing it on purpose so okay I've got to go like I'm just like that is all folks that's it I'm

exiting out of here and then you started texting me be in like can we record at 8 30 p.m. and I'm like yeah kill like yes anything for you sweetheart yes I will do it for you no I literally well I texted you about recording on Monday at 9 a.m. and you did not you just completely didn't listen to me I completely didn't listen well oh I have 226 text messages on my phone goodbye hang up the phone go read the fucking text messages I can't it's so stressful that I just at this point I don't care anymore like yeah no I at some point that's why I was saying like I would rather just like give you like my give

you your space because I know how overwhelming it is and even though it's like someone you love or like someone you're good friends you're like I just I don't have the capacity to deal with like extra thoughts or extra things so I get it and I also wanted to say that I genuinely am like in a place now that I just want to like show up and be happy with whatever I'm doing but sometimes you want to show up and be happy but like I feel like I need to drown my phone in a lake somewhere and for it never to be recovered for that to happen yeah no I know cuz cuz no one goes away like no one I just want to live in my permit my

hermit life and then it just starts like if Jackson's not FaceTiming me at like 6 30 a.m. if he's not house will might be calling me or the people measuring my bookshelves might be calling me or knock it on my door at 8 a.m. I never know what is going on ever and you're just like okay I'm just done answering all things yes and I'll just be like at this point I don't even know what's being thrown at me I'm just like you know what if if Joe is showing up to measure for bookshelves come on in buddy and if you know Susan's coming in to regrow out my shower come on in sweetie if you want to hit if somebody wants to come in and

clean my underwear come on in like help yourself I I feel like I cannot even catch up and no one talks about moms being sick and still having obligations oh my gosh yes of life and like why does no one talk about this this was my exact thought in the car today so I started back at the gym today and it was a super light workout I did struggle because you guys know I've been you know out of it for a while and I got this like super super intense headache and I took a thousand milligrams of Tylenol and I still couldn't get through the headache and I had to get I had to go pick up Lux from school and then come home get the

other kids and go to football practice and I was just like the fact that I'm here and even driving and like barely participating in life right now overwhelming headache and the fact that I still have to think about football practice and dinner and like keeping my children alive between now and them like taking care of them and making making sure they're not running around at the field like I thought the exact same thing like what do people do I I have not managed to be able to figure out what people do but if anyone does know what people do and you have an answer for us please please help help like send help

write in help like any type of help would be great we've talked about before how dads just like seem to make things look so easy like we'll be like oh well we went to Goodwill and then we went whooped and then we went and built a house and then we went and tore those other people's house up and then we ate dinner at Shane Tribshack and did all of this in like a such a short period of time and for whatever reason I feel like it would take me all day to do that stuff I mean I don't get it and I swear it's like the difference between moms and dads yeah I've been seeing a lot of tiktok so like that lately where it's

like the bar is just so low for dads oh my god what it's called like I think the tiktok I saw is like women and wives a lot of times just carry the mental load of everything and then dads just like hand off and I'm not obviously not speaking to all fathers or all men but as like a whole it's just like the responsive like the mental load of like the planning and the preparing and the those types of things typically falls on the mom yeah and I also think that there is a completely different thought process for women and men so like if I'm planning on a trip for example the things that I think about prior to that

trip are things that I can tell you right now will never has thought about like one single time and so I will be losing sleep over it at night and feel like I never actually went to sleep and he got a good 12 hours in and you're just like how how does this even happen how do you go to sleep and not think about it like I will literally this is not even a joke I knew that I needed to set up my online payment for like my cell phone Jackson cell phone so that it just like auto drafts I knew that I needed to do this like specifically today and I lost sleep over it last night thinking about the fact that I

needed to do it and it's almost like it gets to the point where it's like I probably should just actually wake up in the middle of the night and do it so that I'm not still thinking about it nine hours later like when I actually do it yeah I have that too like it's kind of like when you go when I wake up in the night to go pee and I'm like okay let me go pee now so that I'm not like thinking about it while I'm yes asleep yes it's like that like you just just fucking do it so we don't have to worry about it anymore yeah why is it like that why does our brains go that way I just but literally everything that you're

describing to me even the phone like right now I have like maybe four or five things that I know I need to do just like that and but like I don't think that I'm gonna have time by time it's 9 o'clock 9 20 right now by time I leave this office and like I haven't showered yet I haven't you know what I'm saying yeah not happening today yeah it's just not happening today but like until it gets done I so I can either go to bed at midnight or 1 a.m. and be barely functioning in the morning because I don't sleep at night or I can try to go home and like shower and like eat somewhat of a dinner before I go to bed

and then like worry about it tomorrow but like I don't how do you time management is like a real I don't know it's a real thing I swear that I am struggling with so bad and I literally said to myself this morning when I woke up this is the last week and now I'm saying this on coffee combos podcast so I can be held accountable this is the last week that I am going to allow the world to dictate like my time and what I'm going to do and what I'm gonna get accomplished like I have to have some type of a schedule because I cannot function off of like no schedule I need to go to the gym at the same time I need

to do all the things at the same time yeah every day outside of today because obviously was like Labor Day kind of messed everything up I have us in my count I'm looking right now in our in my calendar for 11 a.m. every Monday so I mean if you need to change that great but like also I get it like if I and that's what I said today when I was at the gym with my friend I was like I need to like know what we're doing so that I can plan all my things around the gym or vice versa like I guess and you know what I mean yes I want if I have the things that have standing appointments like podcasting gym things like that I

can plan appointments in between or after or whatever the case may be so much easier and things just are better when I know exactly I hate so tomorrow I have to take my dog to Philly for a vet appointment everything's fine it's just like a checkup I think he has to get stitches out and it's literally putting a wrench in my entire day tomorrow because I was like okay I don't have podcasting for anything tomorrow and I can go to the gym I started at the gym today that happening tomorrow during the time and it being so far away has now thrown an entire wrench in okay I can't go to the gym because it's in the middle

of fucking everything in the drive and then by time I am on my way home I have to go to get the kids from school and go to all their all their activities so thankfully there's no football tomorrow but Lux has boxing I I don't I can't I need a schedule I don't know how I don't know how I've been functioning all this time without one you need to put your standing appointments standing fucking appointment yes like in your calendar and also hold yourself to the same standard that I'm holding myself to and we can be accountability partners okay I'm down to the schedule okay to the schedule I can't I'm just like oh my

many people that are listening to this that like truly prefer waxing because I know there's a lot of people that like really love it it's something that I enjoyed for the first like maybe three months of doing it but the aftermath of waxing to me is not worth the benefit right of waxing correct I 1000 and I when I tell you like I would you know I have this conversation with like my girlfriends or whatever like it would just come up in casual conversation and the people that said that they love it I literally it made me feel so small because I felt like the problems that I faced from waxing I felt alone I was the

only person this is happening to and like not that I wish on your downfall or anything but I did feel alone I did feel less alone when you told me that you were going through this and I was like oh my god the exact same thing was happening to me and I literally was like okay it's not just me I'm not broken but I completely just gave up waxing because it was not good at all yeah and it's like have I have never had an ingrown hair ever ever and I got that from waxing and everything that I read said that it's because the hair like grows back differently and so the pattern of the hair changes or something and so I don't

know they say use like sugar scrubs and all these different types of things I tried everything nothing helped and I truly think that I get a better result from just just shaving but also I started reading more about it and I think it's because we have sensitive skin okay so I didn't know about the hair pattern thing that does make sense because like not to be TMI on here but like now that you say that I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner because some of some of where I do get like an ingrown it is coming in a different way than it normally did I was told by an esthetician and I think that there's like like

conflicting thoughts on this but when you wax this the the hair has to actually re-penetrate like come through the skin to come out where when you're shaving it's just coming off the surface does that make sense yes doesn't have to re come through the skin and so that was something that an esthetician told me and not everyone like agrees with that I guess I also tried like the pat the the pads from European wax center to try to like permanent ingrown hairs those did not work for me I did the I got like the tree hut sugar scrubs which I actually love the scrubs but they didn't help me there and I had never I never really

experienced razor burn like a little bit like in my bikini area because obviously like your underwear your bikini is like rubbing there but outside of that I've never experienced like ingrown hairs or like razor bumps or anything like that and so that's waxing is what started that for me yeah and so now finally I can say like I have graduated from having any type of issues from waxing because I haven't been doing it for a while now but it took a long time to like reverse the issue and now I feel so much better about it but I just I don't know like what people are doing or maybe they just have different skin type or something

and they're not they don't have sensitive skin and so maybe that's why they love it and we hate it but I think definitely the sensitive skin thing might have something to do with it too okay that also that is also makes sense um PS since we were talking about me sharing some house pictures and stuff there was some people that had requested just some topics you know for us to talk about on the podcast and one of them was do we use Pinterest to help us decorate our house and then how do we find styles that we like to decorate our house like and how would we define our style so I thought that was something that we could

just talk about because I know that you're probably starting to pick stuff for your house and I also wanted to know if anything that you saw on my pictures would be anything that you would purchase and even if you wouldn't purchase it do you like it okay so I told you I think I told you personally and also on the podcast I'm obsessed with your bedroom I would buy all of it I absolutely love the rug I love the colors I love everything I love the mirror I also love I don't know which room is which so I don't know like the blue couch is super cute I would definitely buy that that's where I podcast really oh

my god that's so cute and I wanted something like fun and I have a really cool all of my lighting has been so back ordered that it's so annoying but I have a really cool fixture that's going in there and then a neon light that says recording so I think it'll be super cute but yeah I wanted like cozier space or like if I had someone come over here or if you came in town and we were gonna podcast we would be able to like sit on the couch side by side and record and it be comfortable yeah no it's so cute and I I love the gold accents the mirror the paint the art I love all of it it's so cute it's like fresh but like cozy I

just love it and it's the pieces that you picked are so versatile so like if you just were like itching to change something you could literally just switch swap out the throw pillows and have a whole new look yes so that was the whole idea behind it and also most of all of my furniture has fabric that is like kid and or pet friendly because I you know kids have spilled accidents happen and I want people to be able to come in and feel like they can sit down and if something happened then it's easy to be able to clean up right what is that fabric called like Sombra or something I'm never I don't know I

forget I think that's what it's called but people correct me I'm sure that if I'm wrong but it's a very durable type of fabric so that can easily be cleaned up and I didn't know if you had thought about any of that stuff before picking your furniture and if you're bringing any old furniture or anything like that yeah Lindsay Lindsay Lindsay so I have I actually didn't think about that at all there's a couch that I am absolutely in love with a sectional but it is not easy to clean and I the color would not be good and so I love it so much and I want it but I just don't think that it would be smart for me to get so I

actually should look at options that have that are like easy to clean and stuff that's a really good point yes so definitely consider that this podcast is sponsored by better help and if there is something interfering with your happiness or preventing you from achieving your goals I promise you better help is your answer so I actually just talked to my therapist on Thursday well last Thursday and we have decided to do a full second session every single week because I was having a hard time getting through just like what has been going on in the week that we didn't even get to touch on last week's things that we

exactly where I'm going with this is just like I feel like a victim of Pinterest it's just like it sounds good it looks good I pin it I want it I need it and then it just doesn't ever happen and it just falls apart it seems like anytime I've ever tried to do something from Pinterest it never turns out and then also I feel like having inspiration pics it's kind of like taking a picture of someone's hair to your hair stylist and like you have a totally different texture a totally different base color a totally different everything and you're trying to achieve that look but like your whole space like looks different from

the where the way they're started and so sometimes I feel like it's good to get visuals of kind of like your style and what you like but not be dead set on trying to like replicate that because I think that's where things go wrong right when you try to do something too exact right I 100% agree I also I don't know what if it's because I'm getting closer to moving into my new house I'm having a hard time understanding the DIY thing because I feel like for me not for other people any time I've tried a DIY something it just comes out so tacky and like it looks oh yeah I don't even try because my stuff will be so jacked up

that I mean I should actually try to DIY when I do have the time I should try to DIY something just for the sole fact of doing like a real for coffee combos podcast to show people the level of jacked upness that something could get I yeah I just can't like it looks like it was DIY and so and the amount of time that goes into it also like defeats the whole purpose of like I'm trading my time for money I'd rather just like pay for something that looks good and maybe I'm just not good at DIY maybe that's just the problem maybe arts and crafts just aren't our thing I specifically remember this one wreath that I tried

to make and it took so long to do it and I cut all the stuff wrong and I would have actually spent less money had I just like gone to one of those like little places I don't know that carry like wreaths and stuff you know like the seasonal ones I would have just been better off I would have saved so much time actually money and had something that was actually cute versus my little jacked-up arts and craft project that looked like maybe not even like a two year old did it so I remember my first house that I ever bought and it was I just needed to fill all the wall space with any pictures any frames any sizes

they needed to be on the wall I needed to have a Chevron wall I needed to have striped wall everything that I owned needed to go on the walls to fill all the wall I needed to like just thinking about no so basically what Kale's telling us is there's no DIY projects are happening at her new residence absolutely not and I'm sure it will be beautiful since you have hired somebody to help because I do think sometimes having an extra set of eyes that actually has an eye for design is super helpful and I had that too like I know specifically what I like and what my style is and I can walk in somewhere and

say yes or no like I love that or I hate that but sometimes putting it all together and making it come together is something that I've struggled with so I did have help there and I'm so thankful for that but I did want to say that we all need to be praying for will because he is closing on his new house on Monday and he has bought a paint sprayer and he plans to paint the walls himself with a sprayer who's ideal is this obviously not mine but also it's not my house so I'm like you know what if you want to go spray the damn walls in there and it look like hunk-a-junk honey if that makes you happy knock yourself out I don't

care if you paint the damn thing purple like just good luck we're actually all of the coffee combos fam we're all rooting for you will I hope you know what maybe this will be like a really good outlet for him I'm not sure if he needs one but like it could be like a good like creative outlet or stress reliever should I go over there on the day that he's paint spraying and do some footage for coffee combos podcast oh my gosh he'll probably be like get get out I'm not even married to you like get out lady like well I this is from our coffee commerce listeners needs to see the footage or this never happened we don't

believe you did it yourself oh no he was so proud of that paint sprayer he was like showing me the sprayer and how it was gonna be executed and all of these things and I was just like you know what I really need to have the entire listenership of coffee combos podcast praying for this man because this paint sprayer doesn't look like it's gonna cover much ground so he might be spraying for quite some time wait so was there not an option to get like a bigger one or like a more kill we didn't go into that conversation because I didn't ask any questions I just said that's an awesome paint sprayer I'm so happy for you it's

gonna be great you're gonna do great honey and I hope that it doesn't take until 12 years for all the walls to be painted with that have a good day the amount of time that he's gonna spend doing this oh I know it's so great it's so great he'll be there in 12 years from now it's doing the same thing oh my gosh oh PS people also said that they wanted us to bring back Florida stories and I feel like we need to I am definitely down to do that but I do before we bring up because I could just Google Florida right now and see what the fuck pops up boom Florida stories before I read anything that pops up I have to tell

you that remember the inmate from like last Mother's Day I guess like yes from 2021 from 2020 so remember how I was going back and forth with like whether to like write him not write him I said I was gonna write him I never actually ended up writing him okay I thought about it I brought the envelope to my office like at the address and like do the whole nine and then I just like never like had the balls to do it right so I I finally did it I finally actually wrote him a letter and it was delivered it's I got an email that it was delivered I think I want to say it was delivered on Friday are you gonna tell us what you

said yeah I mean I it was very short it was very simple I basically said hi how are you I I have to tell you that I'm I am you know I was very concerned and I was very afraid you know when I got your letter I never have accepted mail or or ever had mail sent to me from an inmate and I was also wondering if you were actually from my hometown because on when I looked you up that's it said you know that you were from where I'm from in Pennsylvania and you know is this a connection to my family or like how did you find me where did you get my address I said I have a lot of questions but I don't really know where to start and I

didn't sign it with my name or anything but I will let you know if he writes me back and you know what he says I would love a follow-up on this and my heart is beating so fast because I feel like I'm scared yeah I I said that in the email or in the it's not an email in the letter I said that and I and I said that I I did talk about it on the podcast because the last thing I need is for like an inmate that's in jail for murder to you know have somebody on the outside come after me because I talked about it I said you know this was something that I went through so I did talk about it so we'll see what he says

I don't know why I thought that he was in there for and getting out either this year or next year when I re-looked at it I'm pretty sure I can't remember if he's in there for life or not let me go back and look so yeah that was I just wanted to catch you up on that give you a little update are you guys we're gonna take a quick break to talk about one of our partners Peloton and I am so excited about this partnership because I love my Peloton so much I know that we can't do everything from home but with Peloton you'll have a workout experience like no other without ever leaving

the conservatorship ends her dad would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the court and no longer no longer responsible for the bond so in my opinion that is why he did it not because he actually wants to give it up I agree and I just feel like because he he could be that last week her attorney had said that you know Jamie should step down immediately before he is suspended like basically like giving him a warning that that's what he needs to he needs to basically surrender that he realized at that point like okay I should probably do this because there could be some heavy implications then

just from seeing all of this stuff with Britney Spears I saw this one article I maybe saw it last week but it was talking about Amanda Bynes and I feel like no one really talks about her anymore but it's like a very similar situation I have always been very like concerned about I'm concerned about Britney but I also feel like Britney has despite what people have done to her I do think that she has she's of sound mind and and all of that I really do I think so too I have been like actually concerned for Amanda Bynes me too and it showed like this this article showed like progression pictures of you know

like her and her prime and then like all of these photos after the fact and I don't know like the whole background because I just haven't followed her story as much as I have Britney Spears but from what I was reading it seemed like the level of fame and what happens to like childhood stars over a period of time into adulthood is literally so traumatic and some of these networks I feel like should be held liable for these people's mental health that is so severely affected into adulthood because they can't function I guess I also agree but I wonder how they could prove that it would be the network's like

responsibility essentially I don't know but I mean I feel like there should at least if nothing more be studies done on how it impacts these young kids who are like you know Disney and Nickelodeon stars that go through all of this mental turmoil from being childhood stars and then trying to navigate that stardom into being adults and where did it go wrong is it the the culture in the industry is it like what is it the money the fame the the pressures of of that society places on you being a child star like I mean Demi Lovato talks about it I'm Macaulay Culkin went through it I'm do you remember all the things that

Paris Jackson went yes with her dad being you know Michael Jackson and her mom being essentially just a vessel of yes hearing that you know what I mean because she not saying that she wasn't a mom but I watched the interview where she said like Michael asked her to carry children for him like imagine having all these like we've experienced it on such a fraction of their level like you could only imagine like what they go through and having all this money and fame and all this this pressure placed on them and then trying it starts to go away eventually because new trends new people new new things and then they have to

figure out how to live like a normal there are essentially adults as children they have full-time jobs as children yeah and I mean like you were saying I mean a fraction of a fraction of a fraction like basically I'm a nobody compared to a Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes you know like all these people that we talk about but even I have felt the implications of being on a reality TV show and I left in 2017 it's 2021 and I still feel like I'm trapped in that to some degree oh a hundred percent I mean even just think about Demi Lovato talks about her eating disorders and I am I go through it all the time I I didn't

already like my body I already had an unhealthy relationship with food and now I'm having an even harder time because of what society expects of me how they expect me to look what I'm I imagine now on times a hundred for these people like Amanda by I can't let me Google her because it's been a minute last I knew she like was pregnant or she wasn't pregnant and it was like a like a like a fake announcement or whatever she's 35 so she's not very much older than me and I can't even imagine like what is she still like posting and stuff I have no idea I just randomly was scrolling it may be like a week ago and I think it was

actually on Facebook and it was just like these progression pictures of Amanda Bynes and of course it was like this beautiful photo of her from when she was like on Nickelodeon and then it was all these other photos of just like her downfall side-by-side and I looked at it and I was like wow that's literally the same thing that basically if you lined up pictures of Britney Spears it's so sad but then also back to your point of having unhealthy relationships with food and you know your body and having to look a certain way and whatever I was talking with Katie on the Southern Tee this week about just feeling like you

have to be this specific way for society to accept you basically and feeling like that you need to bring your happiest moments to the forefront for Instagram and social media and everything has to look perfect and curated and for whatever reason like I don't know who set that expectation but like I can't do that anymore like I listen I've said for a long time I don't understand it especially when people not that everyone like nobody wants each other to be miserable unless you're like hurt people hurt people right like miserable people they don't want to admit it but they want other people to be miserable

but my pain and coming through the pain and the suffering that I endured as a child and things that I went through as a teenager has resonated more with with my supporters and my following than being this like happy person that lives a perfect life you know what I mean so it's weird that we but we still are obsessed with this like perfection picture yes picture perfect like perfection all of the things on social media and it's so crazy because I was looking back at like some of my photos and stuff and I mean I'm a sucker for a pretty photo and that probably will never change but I have really gotten used

to using my Polaroid all the time because I don't have my phone on me all the time anymore and just changing that one thing in my life to just yeah I'm carrying a way around like a little weirdo box with like pictures flinging out the top but like I don't care because I don't have my phone and it's nice to feel like okay well if I don't have my phone that means I'm not having to respond to anyone I'm not worried about emails they're coming on there we rely so much on our phones for absolutely everything it's almost like a trap once you get on it even if you go to get on it to like take a picture it's like

it sucks you in and then you're just like immersed in you know I need to check Instagram I need to check Facebook I need to check my email I need to you know look at my Google calendar I need to do that like it's such a trap so it's been nice to just have my little Polaroid and I'm just rolling around like a little old-school gal over here I love that though that's so cute and I don't care what people think if they see me around town just like with my Polaroid and no phone like I don't care you know it's fine it's been so nice but I just really like want to say to people that everything isn't perfect all the time

or what people want things to look like it's not picture perfect like there's real stuff that is happening behind the scenes and I feel like to do my job effectively I need to show more of those moments and come just like as raw as absolutely possible because it's people can't relate to things that aren't really what they are does that make sense say that again people can't relate to things that aren't really what they are so like if you're posting you know like everything is just happy-go-lucky you know on Monday through Friday but really like your days are all shitty and you're just logging on social media

acting like everything is okay and I am guilty of doing that that's not showing people like the real deal of what's going on right and but we've talked about like not always showing we don't owe everyone you know all the the fine nitty gritty details of our lives we don't owe them that either so there has to be some type of happy medium where we can express like the real trials and tribulations of life and things that were that we go through and also have you know the highlight reel like there has to be a happy balance somewhere and I would love for us to be able to just do a dedicated post to this on coffee

combos for people to be able to write in to say like where is the line like the line between the highlight reel and like the real nitty gritty like what is that defined line I just want to know what what people think because there's gonna be a ton of people that have different opinions about it right no I completely agree with you I completely agree with you I mean I'm not saying that you know everyone needs to know every drink that I spill in my car or that you know I forgot tampons at the grocery store like people probably don't need to know that but you know maybe should I start sharing more stuff like that because that

actually happens in real life probably so well we could just make a like a laugh at my pain segment where it's like you know try to make the best of like the little things you know like I don't know today all day I thought it was Wednesday and that tomorrow is Thursday so I was literally asking for help to try to figure out how I was gonna get Isaac to his piano lesson at four and Lux to his boxing lesson at four and Lux doesn't even get picked up until three o'clock three thirty so I but you know what I mean like little things like that it's not perfect and I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off I

haven't even showered and it is almost ten it's ten o'clock at night yeah so our lives are so good right now I had dino nuggets for lunch a leftover salad from Japanese from the night before brought Jackson back to will after we went to Target which is a whole nother story for a whole nother day but then will had made some Kraft macaroni and cheese so I took a few pulls off of that and then came home and did some laundry and here we are so I feel your pain kill I feel it yeah I'm yeah 100% and that's all we have time for even if it wasn't all we had time for it is all we have time for because I'm sleepy so
