Mike?
Ew, that sound in my ear.
Gross. That actually bothered me.
Ew. How are we related, by the way?
I don't know, because I'm drinking water.
Like, what is it? You just don't enjoy...
I don't enjoy just a casual drink.
You need to get f***ed up.
But, Caitlin, I haven't got f***ed up in a really long time.
It's just not my thing anymore. I'm over it.
Is that called growing up?
Is that what growing up?
Yeah, is that what that means?
You don't enjoy wine or...
No, because all my girlfriends do.
Yeah, what is it?
I don't know.
You like beer?
Yeah, I do.
You like the vodka.
Oh, it gets me a little crazy.
Oh, me too.
Oh, my gosh.
Have we talked about this before?
I think so, yeah.
I cannot drink vodka.
It makes me loser drunk.
But whiskey makes me loser drunk.
Vodka just makes me super hungover.
Mm, whiskey makes me pretty fun.
I'm a little whiskey girl
A little whiskey and a teacup
Whiskey girl
Mama's such a whiskey girl
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I'm trying to make it
So not Canadian
So not Canadian
No be as Canadian as you can be
We're in the homeland
But vodka makes
Okay whatever
Vodka makes me crazy
I always warn people when I hang out with them
They're like oh I got you a vodka
I'm like no no
Is there vodka in that?
Don't give it to me
Yeah, crazy Katie comes out.
I will roundhouse kick your ass.
I will, you will be mad at me because I'm mean.
Yeah.
Yeah, stay away from the vodka.
I'm still lingering on my cough.
I noticed that earlier.
Which is really frustrating.
You know, when you have like a, everybody knows I was really sick because I was really
searching for attention on Instagram.
I feel sorry for me.
I was like, you know when you're like alone and sick, all of a sudden you're like, I think
a little, you have a bigger pity party.
Yeah, for sure.
for sure oh my god you didn't even mean to do that no I didn't um but I was like I was looking
I wasn't looking for attention on Instagram I was just so bored yeah I couch by myself and no one
was taking care of me that I was just trying to entertain myself fair enough did you did you see
about the NyQuil yeah I did I love me some NyQuil I well I don't it makes my legs go numb
really yeah not me it makes me like does do like opposite for you yes oh yeah I drink
NyQuil, and all of a sudden I'm like,
and my body wants to shut down, but my mind's like,
n-uh.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, that's weird.
It's anxiety central.
Anyways, did I introduce you?
Nope.
Oh, okay.
It's in the description of the podcast, but I'm here with my sister,
Haley Bristow.
Haley, Jane, Bristow.
Hi.
Hi.
I love podcasting with you because you have the same sense of humor as me.
Yeah.
Well, no?
Oh, that was.
was not convincing I just I think you're more witty than I am oh yeah yeah definitely oh yeah for
yeah for sure for sure I'm definitely more witty than you a I was talking to one of my friends on the phone
and he goes you are so Canadian when you get home around your sister oh really yeah and I think
people said that on my last podcast with you I think I I just like pick it up you just that I pick it up
it's that it's that when I'm in the states I'm I'm really adapting and and becoming
I'm really channeling my like Miley Cyrus like hey y'all for sure I wish I had that kind of like a
southern draw I love that I'll tell you there's this one time I really nailed it um this lady called me
I got off the pedal tavern in Nashville where you just pedal down the streets of Nashville and drink
and I got off the pedal tavern obviously a little tipsy yeah and I went to go back to the hotel that
my friends from out of town were staying
and I called
what I called a cab or an Uber
I called someone to figure out the address
or something and I'm talking and she goes
well now
here's what you're going to have to do
honey you're going to have to go back
just take a left because honey
you're right at the hotel
the pedal tavern drops you off
right at the hotel okay
and I was like
could you say that again? Yeah
please that was
I just love a southern accent.
I'm secretly hoping, you know when people go to Australia
and all of a sudden they come back three months later?
Our cousin did that, yeah.
And she has an Australian accent.
Well, she doesn't anymore, but she did for the longest time.
But are they putting it on or is that real?
Because I've been in Nashville for three years now
and I still can't bring myself to say y'all.
Really?
Yeah.
So I wonder.
Anyways.
And I'm the type that would look for attention, you know?
Well, I wouldn't pick up a southern accent
and just for people to be like, oh, isn't she darling?
Bless her heart.

Anyways, love being home.
Oh, we love having you home.
It's just, Sydney said the cutest thing today.
Twice, actually.
She laid there and we were, you know, we've, we have a lot of fun at this household.
If you guys can't tell from Instagram stories.
We have a lot of fun when we're around family.
Our family's pretty nuts.
You're not very nuts.
You're not the nuttyest.
No, I'm not the nuttiest of the nuts.
I would say I'm the nuttiest of the nuts and mom's up there.
You think mom's up there too?
Oh, Sydney's right up there with me.
Do you think mom's nuttier than me?
Yes.
Okay.
So mom, me, Sydney.
Yeah.
And so when we're all together, oh, look out.
It's just a bag full of nuts.
Just a bag of nuts.
And you know how people say like, oh, you're two peas in a pod?
Sydney and I are two nuts and a sack
I just came to me
wow yeah that's good
well I was we were thinking of nuts and then I was thinking
I was saying two peas and a paw and I was like huh
two nuts and a sack we're two nuts in a sack
Brody would kill himself laughing at that really
oh he loves anything to do with penis jokes pretty much and farts
today I said happiness and he died yeah yeah yeah see
so we're dancing we're having fun we're playing the drums
we're being crazy and then we lay
to have a good little like quiet time Christmas movie and Haley and I grew up watching
Pee We Herman's Christmas yeah we did holiday special it was our jam I remember taking out
all the boxes from the basement to get the decorations out and we were like where the where are the
VHSs because we need to watch Pee We Herman's Christmas which is how we opened to this podcast
podcast I haven't even had to sit in my wine yet yeah oh that's
Ew.
Why do I do this to myself?
I was just trying to bug you because you're my sister.
I like to push your buttons, but really it bugs me.
And that was just like backfired.
A backfire.
Sidney would say instant karma.
Instant karma.
That's what that was.
Mm-hmm.
Anyways, that's what we were singing at the beginning of the podcast.
Yes.
Peawee's Christmas.
Merry, Merry Christmas.
Meway's Christmas.
Potato-eatery.
If you guys don't know, Peewee's Christmas, do yourself.
Go watch it on Netflix.
It's on the flick.
And so we were dancing and we lay down and we were just having this moment of quiet time and watching Christmas movies.
And Sydney said, Mom, I'm just so grateful.
Thank you for everything.
I kind of, I feel like I'm going to cry because I'm just so grateful.
And I'm like, yeah, she's amazing.
She is.
She's amazing.
She is such an amazing kid.
Both of your kids are amazing.
And then she said it again on our way home.
You know, we went, we took them swimming tonight with their cousins.
Yeah.
And we have pizza.
and on the drive home, she goes, I'm feeling that grateful feeling again.
And I said, you know what, Sid?
Being grateful is probably the best feeling you could feel every day of your life.
Absolutely.
If I could feel one thing for the rest of my life, if you had a choice, what's one thing
you would want to feel every day for the rest of your life?
It would be gratitude.
No, for sure.
For sure.
No, it's okay.
You say Frigg and for sure, and it's hilarious and I love you.
But I thought that would be an interesting podcast to do.
is on the same note as gratitude and being grateful is everybody makes these crazy new year's resolutions
and i'm always like new year's resolutions i hate them too and i talked about this on another podcast
of just having better intentions for 2019 i like that way better even just even saying that just
just that thought of just having better intentions better intentions for 2019 and so my last two
podcasts were kind of like actually there are a lot of therapy you can tell you know you can always tell
what I'm going through my life from my podcast this is true you know and I'm clearly going through a time
of self-reflection and self-love and which is awesome yes and that's it's just the healthiest thing
I could do right now and I'm feeling a lot of gratitude and I'm going into 2019 feeling
excited for my intentions right that's good that's such a good thing and to be excited about
And people have these unrealistic expectations of this,
what are your New Year's resolutions for 2019?
And what I've always said,
and what I always think to myself is setting small goals.
Well, there's nothing small about a year.
No.
So we're going to break it down now.
We're going to break it down for you, okay?
So instead of you feeling overwhelmed with 2019,
we're going to break it down for you.
And Haley and I will be discreet.
12 months of 30-day challenges. So each month will be setting a goal for yourself to do every day
and 30 days, which they're small goals. Yeah, they are small and very reasonable. And they're all
about just waking up, they're attainable. And they're about waking up in the morning and saying,
this is my intention today. And I'm going to do it for 30 days. And then I'm going to reward myself and
I'm going to feel good that I just did something for 30 days. And I'm going to reset. And I'm going to
move into the next month with different intentions and then each month you can feel good about
what you've done that's right and and not disappoint yourself yeah not have these huge expectations
on yourself but all while all while is that a saying all while all the while all the while
it doesn't really apply to this so i'll just restart my sentence maintaining your expectations
in small goals like all showing up each day for yourself right okay so
So let's start with January.
No, actually, we encourage everybody to take, take a minute.
Go get yourself a pen.
Pat of paper.
Pad of paper.
Old school it.
Because you know what?
We old schooled it.
We old schooled it.
My laptop is dead.
So Haley brought me a pad of paper and a pen and I said, you know what this is very appropriate for what.
It is.
It's perfect.
Who doesn't like crossing something off their list or writing something down?
I'm such a list person and I don't use my phone.
I use Post-it notes all the time or a pad of paper.
something about it. Even my grocery lists I do on paper. Oh, me too. And then you wrap it around
the little buggy handle. Well, yeah, you do. Yeah. What else would you do? Uh, hold it.
Stupid. That's what that's for. That's what the handles for. Not pushing. It's for wrapping. It's
for wrapping your grocery list around. Mm-hmm. So, okay, yep, I don't know. I don't know. There's
something I think, oh, actually I did a podcast on this with Ben Nempton from the buried life. Yeah, I listened.
Where he said, you got to write things down. Yep. Because that's the first step to achieving your
goals. So we are encouraging everybody to to write these down instead of putting them in your notes
on your phone or getting on your laptop. Kick it old school. Kick it old school style. Break it down
and and wiki, wiki, write it down. Y'all. So let's get into January. Okay. January is always tough.
January's tough. So we wanted to ease you guys into the new year. Okay. So we're going to we're going to start
it off real simple for you. But you know, quite challenging for us.
others you're going to set your alarm 10 minutes earlier than you usually would and you're going to
make your bed you are going to make that bed you're going to make the shit out of that bed and you are
going to do it for 30 well 31 days January yeah no 30 oh you know the knuckle trick January
yeah um 30 days January would be yeah what actually January is 31 well that is a big
Wow. What a mind f***.
Wow.
We're smart.
Okay. S.M.R.T.
January, you're going to make your bed every morning.
Love it. Because, you know what they say?
A messy bed is a messy head.
That's deep.
Deep. It's pretty deep.
Especially for this podcast.
It's true.
Actually, lately, this podcast has been pretty deep.
Yeah, suck it, Ian.
I'm still clearly hanging out to the one guy on my season of the bashwet that said I was
surface level.
like, who the hell is Ian?
Thank you.
And you know what?
Who the hell is Ian?
Yeah.
Anyways, if you wake up every morning and you make that bed, number one, it's just going
to start your day off, right?
You're going to feel organized and you're going to feel a little motivated.
Yeah.
And you're going to know that at the end of the day, you get to come home to that freshly made
bed.
Totally.
Wash your sheets a few times.
How often do you wash your sheets, Haley?
Be honest.
This can be a confession for me.
Oh, I don't like it.
I don't like it.
Once a month.
That's gross.
Really?
Yes.
Think of how much dirt and grime and grease you drag into your bed every day.
And I'm not a big shower guy, so I like to make.
I shower every day.
Okay.
Okay.
Then I forgive you a little more because I despise showering.
But I do eat in my bed before bed.
Oh.
Before I go to sleep.
So you got crumbs going on in there.
Yeah, but I like, you know how you try and brush crumbs off?
off of like your bed.
Yeah,
and then it just goes on to the floor
and then your floor is dirty.
I vacuum my floor a lot,
okay?
Once a month.
Is that a lot for you?
Anyways, gross.
I wash mine at least once every two weeks,
but that still is like,
I just love,
I sleep better in fresh sheets.
No, I totally agree.
Totally agree.
But how much of a bitch is it
to put the duvet covers on?
Oh my God.
I hate it.
I would rather shit in my own hands
and clap
then wash my duvet cover and put it back on i agree we just did that last night i actually
make randy do it yeah yeah you got to make somebody else do i make my house cleaner do it she's a saint
every time she's like oh weird that your duvet covers in the dryer when i need to put the towels
in there i need to get me a cleaning lady mine is a she's just my hero she's my hero oh and her accent
her southern accent she always goes girl oh my god i love it girl i
I eat pizza every day.
Oh, girl.
I like her.
Oh, no, she's awesome.
She's awesome.
Okay.
So, Jenny, right, and you know what?
We're going to hold you guys to this.
We want you to report back to us every 30 days of your month challenge.
And you need to say, Caitlin, Haley, I did this?
I felt really good about it.
Yeah.
You can tell us the truth.
Did you miss a couple days?
Yeah, and that's okay.
Forgive yourself.
Totally.
Not a big deal.
It's about your intention.
And we're doing these, too.
Yes.
Oh, are you kidding me?
Well, I always make my bed.
I do not.
That is something that I will.
say starts my day off right and that's why i'm suggesting it and that's why we're starting off easy
in january let's get into february okay give someone at least one compliment a day i love it
which is so simple it really is standing in line at target yeah welcome to target oh my god oh my god
i love your shoes where'd you get them that's my target lady i just woke up your kids for sure
oh for sure i did that on purpose uh give somebody
a compliment yeah you know reach out i do that um it's so simple but if you set those intentions
every day you wake up and you have an alarm each month you should send an alarm for every day of the month
do this and then it'll remind you yeah like lots of the time i'll just be scrolling through my
facebook and you know there's friends on there that you you know you haven't talked to or seen for quite a long
time and lots of the time i'll just you know what i'm gonna send them a message because you know
and i'll just say hey um you're looking really good in your pictures or you know what your kids
are adorable and you know and every time people come back and say you know what that's so nice like thank you
for even like taking the time to say that that's uh darra and i on the last podcast we're talking about
um how weird it is for somebody if you just look them in the eye and actually want to know how
they're doing yeah right like people are like mind blown by it they're like oh you really want
to know like you really care so don't just say and a compliment to somebody just to say it
pick something out and mean it like you really don't be mean girls and go oh my god I love that
skirt where'd you get it oh my mom oh my god it's so vintage oh that is the ugliest skirt i've ever seen
in my life yeah not cool no actually mean your compliment tell somebody compliment
be genuine about it yeah love that be genuine uh march spend five minutes focusing on your breath
every day now people are like five minutes like people can don't people do not have time to
watch a one minute video on instagram i know i know i don't i'm like oh minute video
good luck getting through that gil i know randy always tries to show me these five minute videos i'm like
are you serious see no but it's not that again set your alarm five minutes early wake up
and this is what dara taught me is to um maybe i'll make an instagram video about what i'm about
to do because it's this cleansing motion of a meditation that you it's like you're scooping water
and dumping it on your head and scoop and dump and scoop and dump and you do that for three minutes
and you focus on your breath.
Three to five minutes, let's say.
Okay.
Focus on your breath every morning before you look at your phone.
Yeah.
Before you, for sure, pee.
Do whatever you've got to do there, but don't look at your phone.
Don't, just, just pee if you have to.
Go right back into your bed and sit up and do the scoop and dump motion.
An Instagram about that.
Yeah, I will.
So that you can, yeah.
For three to five minutes and focusing on your breath every morning.
And then again, report back to us at the end of 30 days.
and tell me if you feel different at the end of your month.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
I love that.
And commit to it.
This is the challenge about, you know, we're not giving you a year thing.
We're giving you 30 days every month to focus on one thing and challenge yourself to not.
You know, even those days you're like, no, I'd rather sleep for five minutes.
No.
No.
Sit up and you scoop and dump.
That's March.
This is why you guys need to write this down because you need visuals for everything.
month. Okay, April. This is Haley's favorite. Donate. Donate or toss something every day. And that
sounds crazy to people, but I did this podcast with the home edit ladies who they're mega organizers.
And they say the people who feel cluttered, it's just starting with, you know, getting rid of
something. Yeah. Whether it's a blanket, a big bulky sweater that you never wear. A casserole dish that you
don't use a casserole dish you got a couple of those laying around I'm a mom I do a strainer
you know yeah I just bought a new one and I had two other ones see get rid of that clutter
girlfriend of the two other ones yeah it's but that's so easy and you can take it to
second hand stores absolutely they love that Google your local people will come pick up things
from your house um there's um I can't remember what there's donation bins all over yeah yeah
Whether it's a bag of clothes, a blanket, no matter what it is, a plate, just something, get rid of something or donate something every day.
And maybe it is trash.
And maybe you do need to just get rid of it.
Someone's trash is someone else's treasure.
I disagree with that.
Why?
What if it's like something sentimental that you're hanging on to from a relationship like five years ago that you just need to get rid of?
You just, you burn that shit.
Yeah, you burn and turn.
That's right.
You burn it and you turn the page.
Love it.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
And on that note, what?
Did you have something else to say?
No, I did not.
But I'm trying to think of something better.
Like, okay, not a blanket.
Like, what else could you...
Ooh, look at your Christmas trees.
It's beautiful.
So pretty.
That's a nice one.
I know.
Except it has glitter on it.
Oh, so you have glitter.
There's glitter.
Puking all over your house.
Puking all over my house and I hate it.
Glitter throw up.
Yeah.
Ew.
Oh.
Hangers.
Look all those hangers you got.
Now I'm like just going to look around your house and pick apart the clutter.
Cups.
Look at all those.
cups you have you don't need all those cups
look at that stupid book
you got laid right
give her that stupid that's my favorite book
Caitlin okay keep the book keep the book
um what month are we on may
this is a good one because we decided
this is a nice month to get outside
every single day
there's people out there who suffer from
depression anxiety
from anything if you just get outside
oh it does so much it's it's
crazy it's crazy even if even if it's you're going to get groceries park farther away and then just
walk and just breathe in that air yeah breathe in the air it's it does wonders it's the simple things in
life and that's one of them is fresh air yeah fresh air does so much that's that was one thing I loved
about having Tucker is that it forced me you know I had to take him out to go outside and each time
I did I was like wait why was I dreading that I feel so much better yeah and every time he had to go out
I'd be like, you know, you're going to feel better when you get back inside because you just went for a nice little walk.

I made a very funny joke today.
I love it.
Okay.
So that was June.
Laughter Journal.
30 days.
Do it.
You will not regret that.
30 days.
I love that.
Laughter journal.
I mean, look at all these things.
We're only half the month through.
And imagine what you would feel every day and at the end of the month.
And I'm so sick of people making excuses.
Yeah.
Do these simple things for your own freaking soul and your own happiness.
Think about how you'll feel at the end of all these months.
Are you speaking right to me right now?
Right.
to your goddamn crystal blue persuaders.
Your eyeballs.
Okay.
July.
July.
July.
You know on Saturday Night Live, when Will Ferrell does Robert Goulet,
Robert Goulet, Goulet, Shibang,
shibop, pop, thong, stuff like that.
July.
Anyways, July.
This is going to be a tricky one, but it's going to bring everybody a lot of joy.
Zero gossip.
Yes.
Okay.
We all do it.
We are all guilty of it.
Definitely.
Oh, way to transition.
I know, right.
I didn't say for sure.
Yeah.
Good for you.
Yeah, I know.
Good for you.
Zero gossip.
Like, it's hard.
That's so hard.
And even, like, you can take it next.
level and like no negativity.
Right?
Like, no?
Well, that would be, I mean, imagine a world.
Well, we can all dream.
But I happen to enjoy a little negativity every once in a while.
You're the devil.
I'm just, I just, I don't know.
There's something where I'm like, no, I, you know what?
This is who I am and I'm a little negative right now.
So I need a more realistic goal.
Okay.
Because I think it's impossible to not be negative for 30 days.
I mean, I love where your head's at
But come on
Good effort
There's no way
Like I'm like today I woke up
Had a freaking moment about the wrinkles under my eye
Did you?
Yeah, I did
I was like
Yeah
Botox can only do so much
But I just I was like
You know what I have to embrace this because
There's no fighting aging
I mean there's fighting it because there is Botox
But I mean there's no
You can't help but get older
and I've really tried to work on my mindset of you get to get older but I was negative for a
hot second and that's okay you're allowed so the no because then it makes you no gossip yeah
it's realistic but the negative thoughts almost make you human oh yeah but I mean oh oh yeah
yeah yes but it does it it it makes you appreciate other things you know it does it
does let's say let's go with that okay but no gossip yeah wow that's gonna be and you're
gonna catch yourself and that's okay right as long as you're aware yeah like be aware and then do
better that's one of my favorite sayings do better do better just do you hear me I'm actually having
notes on to the next page do better yeah along with the no gossiping just every day think
do better yeah I love that that that's usually my intention going into the next year is do better
than the last yeah just be a better person yeah you were last year yep
Yep.
August.
These are getting a little tricky, but they go back to...
But you're going to be a pro by August.
Right.
And you're going to be so...
Because what was the stat we looked up?
It takes...
21 days.
21 days to break a habit.
To break a habit.
And 66 to form one?
Yep.
So if you're doing all these challenges every month, August, you're going to be like,
give me a new challenge.
Your new habit.
Your new habit is going to be forming new habits.
Your new habit is going to be getting...
addicted to your 30-day challenges.
Yes.
August.
Yoga or 30 minutes of meditation every day.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
But why not challenge yourself?
That's 30 days of 365 days.
Mm-hmm.
30 days.
And you're going to feel damn good after it.
Oh, your mind is going to be so clear.
So fresh.
So clear.
So fresh and so clear, clear.
Oh, my God.
Ain't nobody.
Fresh as me.
Just so fresh and so clear, clear.
Oh my God.
But seriously, think about that.
Yoga for 30 days.
Okay.
Do it and tell me you don't feel better.
Number one, I've never done yoga in my life.
What?
Never.
Why?
Never had the desire.
But I think you'd really like it.
I think I would too.
But I'm so intimidated to go into yoga.
Everybody knows all these friggin.
Yeah, but there's so, there's other places for you to go.
You don't need to go.
And I get intimidated going into yoga.
I used to be the yoga queen.
When I lived in Newfoundland, I would do yoga every day.
Yeah.
And I loved it.
And they wanted me to instruct there because I was there every day.
Yeah.
And I still get intimidated going into yoga studios.
Yeah.
Because I haven't done it a long time.
But there's, there's yoga for like just stretching or just like your mind.
And meditation is so huge.
I do it all the time.
I've actually started to do it a lot more.

September.
Learn a new word.
I love this one.
Whatever you do, don't download that stupid app that makes you learn a new word every day because the word, let me just show you.
The words are insane or?
They don't even, they're so.
They're just something that you wouldn't use in everyday language.
I don't even know how to pronounce them.
Oh, word.
See, I deleted my app.
I did.
It was like word of the day.
Shundalasias.
Come on.
No, that's.
Sympati.
skinned.
Wow, that went on way longer than I should have.
I just looked at my Google history and it's Connor McDavid GQ magazine.
Oh, he looks good.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm robbing the cradle saying that, but he looks good.
He looks good.
You look good.
I mean, really good.
What was I going to?
Oh, word of the day.
Okay.
So learning a new word of the day, I think is, and applying it.
Applying it in a sentence
That's the real tricky part
That's right
Word of the day
Okay
So like
So like sufficiently saffonsified
Pardon
What's that mean?
Use it in a sentence
After you finish a meal
I am sufficiently sophonsified
I am sufficiently full
I am
Oh so just say satisfied
No
Okay
Because you want to expand your vocabulary
You say
What do they say it was
Sufficiently sophonsified
That's like when on Clueless, remember when Cher tells her to learn a new word and she gives her the word sporadically.
Yes.
And it's like, what does she say?
It's like, oh, not very often.
Like sporadically, like once in a while.
Oh, once in a while.
Yeah.
And then she has a, this girl has a crush on her brother.
And then the brother comes in and she goes, he goes, yeah, hope to see you soon.
And she goes, yeah, hope it's not sporadically.
Word of the day.
Word of the day.
See, this one is.
Oh.
Is this?
What?
My phone listens to me.
What do you mean?
How do you say this?
Canoris?
Oh, it's.
Canoras.
Yeah.
Conoris.
Pleasant sounding or?
What?
How do you say that word?
Melodias.
Melodias.
Melodius.
Melodias.
Like a melody?
I think it's melodious.
Melodias.
Melodias.
No, no, no.
We need the other word.
This is where I struggle with the word of the day, because I'm like, I can't even pronounce the definition.
Okay.
But I think I know.
We were talking about pleasant sounds earlier and what satisfying sounds.
Yeah.
Anyways, so canaurus.
I'm going to use that in a sentence later in this podcast.
Canorris.
Pleasant sound.
Okay.
Learn a new word, September.
Conoris.
Yeah.
That was just today.
Now, think about if you learn 30 new words and applying them.
I would sound like the Vienna who is on my podcast, the therapist.
God, she's well-spoken.
Oh, my gosh.
I was like, this girl's good.
You know, like on Billy Madison when at the end, he goes, we are now all dumber for
him listening to that.
She talks.
I'm like, I am dumb.
I am.
I'm dumb.
Dumb.
Because I can't speak like you.
October.
Right.
This is easy.
My health and wellness coach, Aaron Trillor, maybe if I was ever like having a panic mode
where I was like, oh, Aaron, I'm feeling on it.
She's like, go to sit at your computer and send me a hundred things you love about yourself.
A hundred.
Yeah, that's crazy.
One freaking hundred things.
One thing is hard.
Well.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I got down to like, I was like, I really love that one freckle on my back shoulder blade.
It's pretty sexy.
It's the perfect shade of brown.
it's the perfect circumference and diameter is that in radius yeah it's just good it
it is good stuff anyways did I mention my one eyelash that grew overnight that thing's good
too that's like I had like that's where my mind was going by the end of it but 30 should not be
hard every day no one a day yeah yeah okay so by the end of it you only have 30 things you
love about yourself, like that should be peanuts.
Mm-hmm.
It should.
It should be.
So October, write down one thing you love about yourself every day.
Next to your laugh journal.
Maybe it's a canaurus sound you make.
Too soon, too soon.
Way too soon.
Okay, November.
Now, this one's going to be a real bitch for me.
Okay.
Drink eight glasses of water a day.
Oh, me too.
drink eight glasses of water a day i know and that's that's just the norm that's what you're
supposed to i drink one a day and i'm like gagging i drink like one a day and i'm like oh i am doing
good yeah i like have what i'm like i'm so hydrated yeah i am so healthy healthy a f i'm like
peeing every eight hours i'm so hydrated today i peed once what pardon me well actually twice
i woke up this morning okay last night the hell
Last night I peed, sorry, everybody, but, like, I don't know what time, like, nine before we got into bed.
Yeah.
It was an early night.
And then I didn't have to pee this morning until, like, 10.30.
Yeah, you really need to drink more water.
And then 10.30.
And then until, like, I don't know.
Have babies.
Then you'll have to, you'll pee a lot more.
Well, soon enough, my friend.
We were joking today.
I'm like, oh, my gosh.
I have, I have.
eight nieces and nephews on dad and Kathy's side.
Is that what it is?
Well,
going to be nine.
Going to be nine.
Going to be nine.
And no,
I'm not pregnant.
No,
I'm not pregnant.
Oh,
yeah,
you're drinking water.
I'm definitely not pregnant.
One of our stepsisters is pregnant.
Yes.
And I was like,
God,
my poor kids,
my poor unborn children,
because they're going to have all adult cousins by the time.
But then we figured that they'll be already second cousins coming around.
Right.
So really, the timings, it'll be fine.
Couldn't be more perfect.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
We're fine.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
I'm not worried about it.
Don't worry about it.
No, there's nothing to be worried about it.
No, no.
Not worried at all.
No.
October to write one thing that you love about yourself.
Yes.
That was a poor sentence.
What's one thing you love about yourself right now?
I love my freckles.
I love your freckles.
I used to hate them.
Oh, I love them.
I used to like,
dread the summer because they come out so much more in the summer.
Freckles are so beautiful.
But now I like don't, I mean, I should, but I don't want to put on like sunscreen on
my face because of my freckles come out more.
I mean, that's excessive.
Okay, fine.
But I just love them.
Yeah, they are good.
I love your freckles.
They've inspired me to freckle tattoo freckles on my face.
I know when you got them, I'm like, that's right, Caitlin, you want to be like me.
Yeah.
Because you're probably like your whole life, you're probably like, oh, Caitlin doesn't have
freckles.
And I was always like, oh, I want freckles.
It's true.
And now you embrace them.
Always.
Yeah.
Who doesn't want what they don't have?
I mean,
I'm learning and I'm getting better.
Yeah, but I think it's just human nature.
That's just how humans are.
Yeah,
the grass always looks greener, right?
Yeah.
Even though it's not necessarily because they say that grass is watered.
No, it's fertilized with bullshit.
Oh, that's true.
We like that.
Right?
With bullshit.
Boshit.
That's bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
Um, drink cake glasses of water is also bullshit.
But that's what we're doing, guys.
for November, December.
Now, this one, you have to,
we have to clarify.
We have to,
um,
no expectations in December.
Yeah.
But within reason.
Yeah.
You can't just,
you can't,
you can't just throw everything away as a crutch.
No.
You can't use it as an excuse.
Oh, well,
I don't expect it.
Oh, I don't expect this.
You have your morals and your values,
but also don't expect things from people or like,
Like with my podcast with Vienna.
It's like your boundaries with family at the holidays.
We thought December would be a good month for no expectations because it's like if you go into family stress or you're like,
someone's going to do this or someone's going to do this.
Go in with no expectations.
You go into work.
You're Monday to Friday and you're going in every day.
I'm like, my boss is going to piss me off.
This person's going to get on my nerves.
I'm going to eat this bad.
I'm going to not work out.
Go into it with no expectations.
So, you know, my boss might piss me off today, but I'm going to, it just, is that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, don't expect it and don't look for it.
Like, throw out the negative, like, I'm a big believer in whatever you put out into the
universe, we'll come back to you.
Yeah.
Right?
So don't throw that, that negative energy.
Yeah.
Oh, don't have those expectations of negative things.
That's right.
Oh, that's what it should be.
Yeah, that's it.
Don't expect negative things to happen.
happen to you that's right because then negative things will happen to you yeah and that's
not bullshit that it's bullshit it's just not cool bro but that's it's it's just having
yeah no expectations in into into certain situations in your life and I feel like
December's very hectic for people it's nuts it's nuts it's it's supposed to be like the most
wonderful time of the year but it's hell that's bullshit that's bullshit
We calm ourselves down with Christmas happy movies, but really, we're all very stressed out.
Oh, and as a mom, I feel like there's just so much more expectation to live up to almost.
But you know what?
When it comes down to it, you're doing that to yourself.
Yeah.
Right?
You really are.
You are.
You're putting that all on yourself.
Don't do that to yourself.
And then you're also putting that on your kids because they're going to have high expectations every Christmas.
That's right.
Mom.
You know what?
You know what, Mom, if you're listening, you really set the bar high, okay?
Because now every Christmas, when I don't have 80 presents under the tree, I'm like, what the hell gives?
Like, this year I put up a Christmas tree in my big empty house, and I was like, oh, shit, there's not one present under there.
But I love it.
I was like, you know what, good for me for even putting up a tree.
Absolutely.
That's awesome that you did.
Yeah, it is.
Because I'm my own soulmate.
And if I want presents under that tree, I'm going to work hard.
I'm going to put them under there myself.
Not a girl.
But I would love if I found a man who wanted to put a lot of presents under the tree.
Well, you did ship your niece and nephew's presents to your own house instead of my house.
And your present.
And my present.
But you told me.
That is classic Auntie Katie right there.
Oh, it is.
Like to a tea.
To a tea.
Mm.
Mm.

And we realized that it was a perfect time to talk about 2019 because we're just getting into it.
But we also wanted to answer some questions from listeners because my Off the Vine Facebook group or just my little Vinoes in general, they're just the best.
There's gems.
They're just rare.
gems and they are just so supportive and and they're like my kind of people like I feel like

do in my hair and some girl came up and said scrunchy gang and they fist bumped oh that's oh I was
like you know what life made there was any reason I went on the bachelor that is it it was to create
my own scrunchy line and have girls feel like they're part of a gang and fist bump
That's so awesome.
Yeah.

Mom made it.
I really felt good about that.
Okay.
Okay.
What kind of questions we got going on here?
Well,

What were the biggest things
We fought about as kids

For us before school
The Hot Rollers
We fought over those hot rollers.
I hated you over the hot rollers.
I won all the time.
You had to get mom to put in your hot rollers and I could do it on my own.
Okay, Missy, who tried to curl her own hair when she was in kindergarten and fell off the bathroom counter and broke her arm.
Yeah, well, you know what?
That's called determination.
And guess who became a hairstylist?
Yeah, me, not you.
Yeah, because I didn't need to make money off of it.
I was just, I was too good.
Oh, God.
Definitely broke my rest, though.
lots of people want to know like what's the hardest thing about having my sister in the public eye
oh yeah what is it and that's a good jealous bro get right kailin you set it on your podcast a couple
there's no way you would like that i would not i am happy with like being in la duke alberta
and just live in my life and just there i i know i know that for a fact i wouldn't have joked about it
if I thought that was a trigger.
You definitely would not like.
It's so true.
But I, you know what, having you like in the public eye, the hardest thing is as much as I try
not to is the negative comments.
Like I try not to read them.
But don't you see that like it doesn't really affect me?
No, it does not affect you.
But so I mean, sometimes it pisses me off, but don't, doesn't it make it easier that I'm like
yeah, but I understand because if people were talking shit about you, I'd get so mad.
Right.
Right. And that goes into another question. Who's, who's most, um, you know what I'm trying to say.
Sensitive? No, not sensitive. Like, I don't know. I like, who has each other's back more? Oh,
you know what I mean? Like, who's more protective? I think I'm more protective of you.
Yeah. Yeah. I think that goes with being the older sister. That's true. Yeah. I'm a protective of you,
but I'm also like, I want to challenge you where I'm like, oh, you challenge me so much. And I'm like,
Screw off, Caitlin.
But it's because I care.
I know.
If I didn't care, I just would ignore you and I would avoid you.
I like to challenge you.
Please don't do that.
I like to challenge you because I think you're capable of a lot.
Yeah, I am capable of a lot.
It's just doing it.
It's the execution.
Yeah, I have a problem with the execution.
You're capable, but your execution is lacking.
My thoughts are like amazing, but then the execution.
Yeah.
I hear that.
Favorite summer memories?
Oh, driving road trips up to our cabin at the Shuswap Lake in B.C.
Where mom would pack us like the best goodie bags for the road trips.
Oh my gosh.
Like flashlights for the tunnels.
Yeah, because when you drive through BC like around like golden and stuff,
there's all these like tunnels that you have to drive through.
And I think we would get scared.
So mom would get us little mini flashlights.
Oh, I just thought she did it for fun.
Oh, I think you were scared.
I was scared.
I was scared.
I was scared.
but yeah we'd have flashlights yeah and uh what was it oh the the um the tapes oh the story tapes yeah there was
like um when you hear this sound ding yeah turn the page oh turn the page and then we would go to
our cabin that had no running water yeah no electricity yeah no phone lines no there was a party line
there was a party line finally oh yeah where you could pick up the phone and like if it was three beeps
you would hear it through all the cabins but if it was three beeps it was your phone yeah but if it was two
it was a neighbor but you could still pick up and listen yeah god i love our child i love our childhood
memories too but you know what i got to bring up at the cabin oh i already know two things that you
could be talking about right now okay either me pulling down my pants yes that's exactly what i was going
talk about you just went to the bottom like right by the dock right by the lake and just
frigging whip down your pants and just stood there you just freaking stood there but i know why it
was my move where if i was angry i would pull down my pants if i was mad sick move kate yeah thanks
if i was mad at mom or dad or you pulling down my pants in my brain in my three-year-old brain
told me that i'll show them i'm gonna whip down these pants right now i remember being in a cookie
monster pink pink sweatpants yes and i remember going i'll show them and i walked down the steps of the cabin
and i pulled down my pants and i crossed my arms and i remember thinking i was proven a point oh
yeah i should still do that there's a picture of that you have it i could probably find it i need to find
that it was my move when i got mad i would pull down my pants that is so funny and i remember
We were thinking like that was like a logical, yeah, it made sense to me.
It made sense to you in your brain.
Yeah, and pull down your pants and you're going to teach them a lesson.
Yeah.
But really, everybody was just laughing at me taking photos.
Absolutely, we were.
Too bad there wasn't boomerang back in that day.
That would make an epic boomerang.
Yeah, I would.
Um, okay, what's your favorite thing about me and then I'll tell you my favorite thing about you?
Your sense of humor.
Your sick, twisted, weird sense of humor that like aligns with mine that sometimes I can't even.
Yeah.
portray on the podcast it's true it's uh it's pretty it's pretty pretty up um really that's well
i mean that stood out immediately but i would say more of you have a very generous heart
i don't i mean i do do i'm getting better you are getting a lot better because you didn't before
you don't know how many times well and even to like even presents for mom and dad um even well like
you know when i was not a gift giver though
I would put your name on every goddamn gift that I gave them.
Yeah.
And I wouldn't ask you for money.
You're right.
And now I put.
But you're getting a lot better.
I am getting better.
You did put your name or my name on flowers for mom.
Yeah, I did.
Right?
For her birthday.
I mean, I forgot, but I had to call them.
I mean, I totally forgot to put your name on them.
But then you were like, remember all the times?
I was like, I'm going to call them and put your name on it.
And I did.
And he did.
Okay.
You made good on it.
That's good.
Um, okay. And my favorite thing about you. Okay. Are you ready? No. What? No, nothing. It's just, I already think I know. What? No, you go. How I am with your kids. Oh, well, of course. That's obvious. No, but the amount of self-respect you have for yourself. Oh. I love that. Cool. Yeah. I love that. I aspire to be like that. Oh. I do. That's really nice because that's something I work really hard on. I know you do. But it's, it's. It's. It's. It's.
It's something that I am not jealous of, but I do strive to be like that.
That's really nice.
Yeah.
I feel like I feel like I went through, I mean, I talk about this all the time,
20s of like not knowing who I was, but I always wanted to get to know who I was.
And then I got to a point where I was like, actually dig deep, Caitlin, and get to know who are.
And that from getting to know myself and going to therapy and being open and honest with the world.
and looking at myself from a different place
than like a judgmental place
which I've done definitely a lot
but where I am now is
I do I have so much self-respect
you do I mean I am like
there's things I need to work on but I know what I deserve
I know I deserve happiness I know I'm like so unique
and I know that my heart is
cheesy but it's pure I know I want good things
And we were raised with good morals, good values, and we do have peer hearts, even though we have sick, twisted senses of humor.
And can I be a huge bitch? Absolutely. Everybody can. And that's okay. But it's all because, you know why? Sometimes I'm a huge bitch. Yeah.
It's because I'm, I'm, I say no to things. And because I'm like, no, but saying no is okay. Right. That's what I'm saying is I can, I can go through life and go, this doesn't make me happy. And maybe it's a little bit selfish too.
but but this doesn't make me have this doesn't fill my soul this isn't what I want to do being
selfish in that regard is okay yeah that is so okay and so good for your soul yeah you you have to do
I am all about taking care and you know what I do think that came a lot from going on TV because I think
I realized how you can get caught up in social media or yeah some level of fame and reality fame
is very short lived and I think I was like I need to stay so grounded and I need to do a lot of
soul searching and I need to do a lot of work with professionals and I need to always
work on self-love but I remember coming off that show and crying about my hair being thin
or crying about that or throwing fits about like being this person and I just worked so hard on
that and three years of hard work on yourself will go a long way so imagine if you start now and
you know yeah no it's very noticeable that you have self-respect which I think is
huge that's nice yeah yeah thank you you're welcome that's probably one of the best compliments i've
received oh yeah okay well i'm glad but it's it's the truth i mean you can only be told you're pretty
for so long i mean come on i'm just not more than i used to get so annoyed at like dance competitions
the judges would always be like you you girls are so pretty you know we're always as dancers
i feel like you're always looked at for your appearance yep you are and getting older realizing like
I think I talked about this with Dara too, like with Victoria's Secret models.
Like it's a dying breed because women are so much more than their appearance now and people know it.
Oh yeah.
It's very, it's made very aware and it's made very like it's acknowledged.
Yeah, it's acknowledged and it's embraced and it's okay.
And I think too like seeing how much I can like accomplish like I'm like, what else can I do?
What else can I do?
Because I'm my own person and I can do anything.
Yeah, that's great.
Bree is one of my favorite things.
She always says, um, she calls herself super Breer, super mom.
And Seb, her little boy started calling her that because he's like, you can do anything, mom.
Oh.
Okay.
So the note that Sydney gave me the other day says, dear my lovely mom, I love you and always remember that we all appreciate what you do.
and it shows a lot.
Stay strong, big girl.
Stop.
Swear to God.
And then it says, we love you.
That's like when on a stepbrothers,
when she says, stay golden pony boy.
Stay strong, big girl.
That's awesome.
That's amazing.
Sidney.
I know.
Okay, bless her little soul.
Oh, she's got such.
Bless her heart.
Just bless her little soul.
She's got an old soul.
She does.
Okay, one more.
Okay.
Do you think we have time?
Yeah, one more.
Perfect timing, actually.
Okay, good.
Weirdest family tradition.
Oh, do you know what this is?
Yeah, ready?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, I got to think.
What is our whole family do?
Oh, okay.
One, two, three.
Hanging spoons on your nose.
Yeah.
That is weird.
See, that's just like in my mind is kind of normal.
But it's like all of us can do it.
And I did it for at work the other day.
And no one else can do it.
No one else can do it.
Nobody else.
Oh, that's how we should.
excuse me promote this podcast yeah let's do a picture of hanging spoons okay yeah I'm full of
weird weird talents that's definitely one of them it is and it runs in the family it's like the whole
mom's not like we have big like scoopy noses like they're actually quite they're quite well I got a
little bit of a piggy nose oh see I wish I did mine's a little bicky yeah see mine kind of
tilts up a bit but it's weird because everybody has different noses yet everybody can still do that
It's the trick.
It's going, oh, I hate that noise.
So do I.
And on the spoon and then hanging it.
Yeah, but no, but other people try.
Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, but no, yeah, but no, but no, but, yeah, but other people try and they can't.
They can't do it.
It's a skill, you know what?
It's a life skill.
And my kids can do it, too.
What?
It's in our blood.
It is.
It's creepy.
Whoa.
Some people are athletes.
We hang.
Motherf-fitt.
And some people are spoonhangers.
Yeah.
