Hey there, we're looking for couples to write into Dear Chelsea for a very special episode that's coming up next season. So if you're a couple or a thruple who want to call in and get advice together, go ahead and write into dearchelseaproject at gmail.com to get your questions answered. Hi there. Hi, guys. We're on hiatus, but we're back with little nuggets. That's right. Mini episodes. Yeah, because people have followed up with us about stuff we talked to them about, and it's very exciting. And we will be back with

season three, May 12th. Yes. We have an update from Alex from the UK who was, he called in on our Sean Hayes episode. He was feeling sort of depressed and unmotivated. And he said, since speaking with Chelsea and Sean Hayes,

I've taken their advice and found it really helpful. Sean recommended that I write a list of goals and tuck it away somewhere. And Chelsea recommended that I prioritize my self-care a little more and started by downloading Headspace, which is, have you used that, Chelsea? Yeah. I have used it too.

It's fantastic. Yeah, it's good. It's a good meditation app, especially for beginners. Yes. Starting to do both of these things has really helped me focus on work when I needed to and take much needed time away as well, and has led me to making some pretty big life decisions. I'm quitting my job next month and moving across the country to move in with my boyfriend. It's time for me to stop waiting for the right opportunity and just go for it. I'm really excited by these changes and I'm really thankful to you guys for helping me start thinking about my life and positive changes I can make. So thank you, Alex. Wow, Alex. I'm going to take full credit for that, Alex, because I remember Sean Hayes being here and

he was fucking useless. His advice was some of the worst advice I've ever heard. I love that. I mean, talk about, I don't remember him saying he had a boyfriend. He neglected to tell us that part. I think that might be new. Oh, well, great. Good for you. Good for you for taking your life, taking control of your life. Yes, absolutely.

And our next update comes from Sarah. She was the one who had had like a shitty boyfriend, got pregnant, had an abortion, and he was really like horrible to her about it. It was on our Amy Schumer episode. So Sarah says, thanks for checking in. Things have been going really well since talking to Chelsea, and I couldn't be more grateful for our conversation. After the podcast aired, I had friends from literally all over reach out to me and share their own stories of toxic relationships, finding love after, and even offering to put me in touch with friends of theirs who'd gone through their own abortion experiences. Long story short, Chelsea truly

helped me realize that I don't have to go through this process alone and that it is okay to take my time and not put this weird pressure on myself to heal and move on. It was also very validating to hear her give me credit for the hard steps I've already taken. And I've been working on also giving myself that same credit. Again, thank you and Amy Schumer for the advice. I'm learning something from every episode that airs. So thanks for also being my weekly therapy. Wishing you all the best, Sarah. Oh, that's awesome.

I know. I love that, Sarah. Thanks for giving us an update. Updates are the best. Yeah. Because we don't get bad ones because why would they? I took Chelsea's advice. And now my life has ended in ruins. So far have not gotten any.

My life is in shambles. Okay, good, good, good, good. These are good vibes. This is a good vibe podcast. Good vibes only. I have stand-up dates that I want to promote you guys this weekend. May 5th, I will be in Los Angeles at the Wiltern. I have two shows. Oh, you guys have to come.

I'm going! Oh, you are already coming? You have your tickets? Great. And then Friday night, San Francisco, the Masonic. There are still tickets available for the second show. There's two shows, early and late, and I will be having a very special guest at my San Francisco show. Somebody who also has shows in San Francisco
