but it is a letter regarding our Laurel and Jackson episode from a listener. Oh, thank God for Laura Lynn Jackson. She really is a savior. She is a savior. She just has given us a new way to look at. Yes. She's given the world. She's just so wonderful.

Such a soothing, calming presence in my life. And I also think like the way she talks about the afterlife or what's beyond the veil is very accessible no matter what you believe. Yeah. Like my dad, I gave him a copy of each of her books a year or two ago when we first Tatar on and he loved her and he comes from like a very Christian background but he he's like this all fits with what I already believe you know like this fits with the Christian faith that fits with people who don't have a faith you know it's it's very accessible I think to a lot of

people but Cindy says I recently listened to Laurel and Jackson on your podcast and it hit hard I had no idea I was crying until I got to my office my dad passed away a few months ago on his 82nd birthday and so much of what you both talked about resonated with me i was especially moved to realize i could ask for a sign rather than just wait for one over christmas i took a little yellow fisherman figurine from my dad's office without knowing why i like to say it chose me staring at it i asked my dad to send me bright yellow raincoats as my sign that same night two strangers crossed my path in bright yellow coats wow she says this is new york city people don't wear yellow. The yellow coat kept coming until it clicked. The song I had added to his last day

playlist was 18 Yellow Roses by Bobby Darin. That was the song he danced with my sisters too at their wedding. I never regretted not getting married, but I always was a little sad that I never got to have that dance with him. I had just told my sisters the whole story and was coming through Penn Station when another yellow coat crossed my path and I had to stop and take a picture. Before all this, I had gotten tickets to the musical just in time. I went for Jonathan Groff, not making the connection to Bobby Darin. In the show, they rework the song a little bit and cut the line that says

18 yellow roses will wilt and die someday but a father's love will never fade, but I still felt it all so deeply. Thank you for hosting Laura Lynn and inspiring this much-needed chain of events, Cindy. Oh, that's so beautiful. I know. I love that. It was like different ways that he showed her that he was showing up

and he was still there. Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, There's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pesto survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode eight before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable.

I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. They're stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app, apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts if your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality welcome home this is prose society the weekly podcast that's part

book club part group chat for thought daughters pop culture obsessives and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse i'm eli rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books the internet and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed. From best-selling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, then that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place.

Listen to Pro Society on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility.

Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran

or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, our caller today is Kira. So Kira says, My husband and I live in Tampa, Florida. We're both self-employed with companies that mostly work for us to live anywhere we'd like.

My husband was born and raised in Tampa and hasn't really lived anywhere else. I've lived in several cities up and down the East Coast, and I'm starting to get the itch to make another move. He's fully on board with this, and we've been considering a move to Charlotte, North Carolina. Florida is, well, Florida.

The heat and humidity are starting to wear on us, and we just want to mix it up. But here we are, just a few days from our lease ending, and I'm getting cold feet. My biggest hangup is that when I said our businesses mostly work for us to live anywhere, I do get about 50% of my income from in-person personal training clients.

I'm already financially supported by my husband, and this would make me almost entirely dependent on him. We're in our 40s with no kids, but we do have 120 pound great Pyrenees. Ideally, I'd like to grow more of my online health coaching services to make this move a bit more confidently, but I'm scared that if we don't pull the trigger now, we just won't ever do it. Thanks so much and can't wait to hear what your take is on this hopefully win-win situation. Kira. Hi, Kira. Hi. Hi, hi. You got to get out of Florida, girl. Even though your tan is lovely. Yeah, Charlotte's where it's at.

Charlotte's gorgeous. I just came from Charlotte. I had a show there. It was really, I mean, I've been there a bunch of times. That is a happening, bustling, cool place to be. Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, that whole area, you're going to like it. And you're going to build up a clientele

and you're going to do your online thing and you're going to be fine. I like that you're concerned about being financially dependent on your husband, but that's going to be a good motivator for you to build your business when you get to Charlotte. Yeah, I see. There's so many new people.

just think of it this way. There are so many new people moving to Charlotte in the same way that you're moving to Charlotte, that there is such an appetite for your business. Like you already have a built in like influx of people coming your way. Think of it that way. Yeah. And Charlotte's like, it's so young and vibrant and like there's great restaurants, things to do. And you want to personally train while you build your online presence, right? You said you want to continue personal training? Ideally, most of my, I would like for my business to mostly be entirely online with a handful of, I reserve my, my in-person time for the people that I really and truly love and want to spend my time with. Yeah. That's what my trainer Ben says. He has like five clients he

sees these days. Yeah. But I understand that, but yeah. Well then until you have it where you want it, your online business, I think go with an open mind that so that you're not so financially dependent on your husband, like go with an open mind that you will be willing to take on a couple of people, you know, a few clients a couple times a week, just until you are ready to have your business be as robust as you imagine it to be. So then, if we were to make this move in three months, and I spend six months, eight months, however long, working my way up to being more financially stable on my own. How do I wrap my head around being comfortable asking my husband to pay for my ancillary things, hair, you know, shopping, the stuff that, you know, aren't

necessities. Do you guys not have combined finances? You have like separate finances? We have separate. Okay. Well, I think it's a conversation that you have to have about the move, right? Like, have you had any financial conversations about moving? We definitely have. It's just, it's a personal thing for me. He has never held anything over my head. He has never made me feel bad. He's always been very supportive of me, but it's a personal thing where I just feel more comfortable being a little bit more financially independent. Sure. Sure. Yeah. One way that you guys could do this is to like, if you have totally separate finances one way that you could do it is to have like basically a like housing needs fund like a

third fund where you both put a percentage in every month and you know after the move it's going to be mostly him for a while but I mean personal maintenance and that kind of stuff like that is also like that is a need right that's like something that both of you need it's not like you're going out like spending a bunch of money on jewelry or clothes or whatever it's like something that you actually need so that would be a conversation to maybe have about like maybe we have a third fund for for the time being and like as we go on we both put the same percentage of our income into it and so that like it evens out more over time and I do think that like since you are so headstrong about it and not being reliant on him like I think you should commit to picking up

your business and starting it in Charlotte like when you get there even planning ahead in certain ways and reaching out to different gyms or whatever, wherever you can kind of work people out or, you know, figuring out ways to actually make money when you get there until that, until you're, you have the, the online business that you envision, you know, just don't throw that away just because like you have an option to work. That's your work. That's what you do. So even though that you might not want to be doing that, like, you know, forever full

time, I think for this period of time, look at it as like an incremental period of time where you are going to continue to do it until you get your business online working the way you want it. Yeah. Be a little bit more proactive and then also see what clients can come with me on Zoom as well. Right. Yeah, absolutely. Everyone's doing that too. For sure. And you can even encourage them by being like, oh, it'll be like slightly discounted or whatever. You know what I mean? But be proactive. Look in that area. Like where would you want to, you know, set up? Like, are you going to be able to set up a gym where you're going to have people come and train with you at your house? Or do you want to go and pay a gym? How do you reach out to that community?

Is there something you can start doing online, social media wise to attract clientele or even clientele from if, you know, if you're talking about Zooms, you can make that like a wider birth, you know, and cast a wider net. That could be domestically, that could be internationally, that could be whatever you want it to be. Does this all feel good? This feels like you've got marching orders and inspo for your, for your move? North Carolina it is. Yeah. Yeah. Get to North Carolina. That's where it's at. Yeah. Awesome. Thank you guys so much. Bye. My goal is to get everyone to leave Florida. Well, it's working for Kara. Behind every night spent making the kids lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat

I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so our last little question here, and I think this is a quickie. She just needs a shot in the arm. Tara says, Dear Chelsea, I was recently promoted to manager, and while I'm proud of the accomplishment, I've been struggling with major imposter syndrome. I've always been known for my strong work ethic and ability to learn quickly. In every job I've had, I'm somehow the go-to person and the one people rely on. But despite all that, imposter syndrome keeps creeping in. The root of my insecurity?

I don't have a college degree. I earned plenty of credits but never finished. I work for a large company, and it's possible that many people around me don't know I'm a college dropout. I consistently receive exceeds expectations on my performance reviews, and my colleagues sing my praises, but I still worry that one day I'll be found out. How do I silence these negative thoughts and truly believe that I belong here even without a degree hanging on my wall? Tara. easily you belong here i think the biggest misconception is that anyone gives a shit about college or where you went to college once you're in business like you're already in the

career like that's all you need is like the proof is in the pudding not only in the career but like this imposter syndrome everyone feels this way we hear about this all day long every day every career it doesn't matter what you are like it's you belong there you're there you belong there Like, it has nothing to do with, like, that's an old-fashioned, like, lens to look at things about your education and how you got there. I never went to college either, and I'm exactly, not that you need to for what I do, but, like, it doesn't bother me. That's an advantage, actually, because I've lived more life, you know what I mean? I've lived those four years where I would have been studying and I acted as an adult, like, it was independent on my own. So you can just, you just have to change the filter with which you look through things and the lens with which you look through things

and look at things as successful rather than as a detriment. Like, this is an advantage, not a disadvantage. So whatever negative thought you have or kind of connotation you have about something, there is an opposing thought and connotation you can have about it. And that can be positive. You just have to kind of choose that. Yeah.
