the host of smoke sash so come hang out let's light up and talk everything there is to life
the good the bad the ugly the embarrassing i've got a story for it all
oh my goodness hello hello hello and welcome back to the smoke sesh podcast my name is hannah your
host as you guys already know and i am having such oh my god a lovely wonderful spring day
i am feeling rejuvenated i am feeling bright sunshiny pastel in my heart and mind as you
can tell from this beautiful two-piece set shout out Frankie's bikinis for this one you guys know
how I feel about a two-piece set and making me feel put together but I truly have been just like
indulging in all the spring things recently and I feel like unfortunately damn they were right
doing things that are good for you does make you feel say it with me good it really does um
this weekend I honestly was planning on doing absolutely nothing and then I was like fuck it
it stopped raining for like two days the sunshine was out the mud had dried up and I was like we're
going to the tulip fields we're going to the tulip fields there was a tulip field festival going on
in like I don't know mid middle of nowhere Missouri and there was only two days left in
the festival and it was like all right now or never now or never and last thing I wanted was
FOMO from not going to the tulip festival so I got my ass up I got my ass out of bed I curled my
hair I put on a cute outfit and I got out in those tulips fields and had the best time ever just
frolicking being in nature being around fun other people who are just enjoying their time
if you're in the Kansas City metropolitan area it's called KC fun farm and yes it is a fun farm
The tulips aren't blooming anymore, but they are open all summer and they have like
a plethora of animals that you can feed. I fed cows. I fed sheep. I fed goats. I fed chickens.
I fed mini horses. They had like games and slides and it's just a fun little thing to
get out and about and enjoy the weather and kind of just like get out of the city if you need to
because as you guys know, I love to get out of the city as as many times as possible, honestly,
but it was just so beautiful and such a great way to spend a day they had the world's strongest
strawberry cider and me and my boyfriend chugged a glass and then went out into the tulip fields
and went frolicking and it was so beautiful those photos are gonna be up as you're listening to this

as for 20 approaches I'm going to be posting fun little recipes as you guys know I love
to do a recipe i'll be making strawberry cheesecake wonton bites like deep fried
strawberry cheesecake bites and then also with the wonton since you get so many different
wrappers i'm going to try and make homemade pizza rolls so if you want to make those those recipes
will be up on instagram later this week the big special announcement on what i'll be dropping on
420 as well as me just sharing my life my endeavors and what i've been up to and some
beautiful photos from the tulip fields anyways i woke up bright and early this morning as you
guys know per usual went out to the farm went to go uh to my horseback riding lesson and as soon
as i got there they were like oh the farrier's coming all the horses are out i was going horse
to horse and i was like which one is this one i've never seen this horse like i know it's not new i
know i've definitely like i guess seen her but i haven't been like face to face with her who is
this they're like oh that's Xenia that's the one that's up for lease and they were like oh yeah
were you interested in that or didn't you say you were maybe interested in leasing this horse and I
was like yeah it's definitely something I've been thinking about I definitely can't own a horse
right now I don't have horse money babe but I do have lease money that's for sure um so I was like
yeah it's something I'm interested in like if you want to tell me about her quirks and who she is
and all about her then I'm down to hear it out but I was already saddling up a different horse
Bella my usual horse and they were like well she's already out you can just go and saddle her up and
ride her for your lesson so I kind of got nervous for a second and I get usually a little nervous
before every ride just because it's like who knows what's gonna happen but I was like oh
new horse and also it's like testing a new car it's like all right we gotta test all the buttons
all the things let's see and I knew she was a fantastic horse because the owner of the ranch
which has like 30 horses there this was her personal horse she has two personal horses
one of which is a little bit on the fatter side and also a little bit better for working so she's
like I definitely want to keep that one and I need to ride her I just haven't had time to ride
either of these horses and the other one which is fantastic which you would love to keep is not
great for like trail rides with small children fantastic with like a really strong rider
fantastic in groups fantastic for lessons but just not great for you know what was working out there
but she really wanted to keep her so she'd been leasing her to another girl and then now since
the other girl was uh bought a different horse is up for lease again or up for sale so i was like
okay you know i'll test her out she's beautiful xena for xena warrior princess um she is massive
she is so smooth she's a Missouri fox shotter darker horse I don't know how to describe it to
you I don't know the terms I'm still very brand new to this and lesson went just like so incredibly
smooth um she definitely had some quirks that I had to work out with her but she's lucky that I
got a strong head too I know how to put my foot down and make a horse listen at this point in
time and it went really well even the owner came out for a little bit and was watching me
ride her so afterwards I was like all right okay how horse is expensive horse equals expensive
duh hello but like what are we looking at here you know I'm curious I know there was other people
who are possibly gonna lease her there's like a little bit of a pecking order that has to go on
I know I'm new I know I'm probably not the first option because of that but like what are the
prices and the prices she was telling me for boarding and all those things were things within
my range and she's so sweet she's like i'll also do lease to buy so if you really like her all the
money that you put towards boarding towards everything that would cost monthly leasing
i will also put towards the final cost of if you want to buy her at the end of the day or at the
end of whenever you rack up enough money with this horse which will not take long um she has a couple
little things that need to be worked on a couple little vet things or just like allergy things but
overall like fantastic amazing horse no wonder this was this lady's personal horse for like
eight years um and and the people who own her are incredible horse trainers so I know that I'm not
getting myself into a position where I'm gonna have to deal with like a younger horse who's a
little bit more fresh who's a little bit more testy like this is old steady reliable Xena
so I was like okay when do you need an answer like do you need it tomorrow she's like hell
no girl like you should not be buying a horse within a day or even committing like that within
a day like think it over take a month take a month to get a couple more lessons in with her
take her out on the trails do whatever but take your time she's like at this point in time I went
out I saw you ride her I think in my opinion out of the three to five people who want to lease her
you are the best option you guys work really well together and you know you are able to work
through her little habits her little you know mayor tendencies which I don't I don't blame her
girl you know I'd also be pissed if there was a bitch on my back trying to ride me like I get it
that she's like honestly I think you're a very strong rider I think you are a fantastic fit for
her and at this point in time I'm gonna go ahead and consider this your horse no payment necessary
nothing you feel it out you test it out you see how it goes you work with your finances she's like
i'm just gonna go ahead at this point in time this is your horse oh you guys what what not me
starting riding horses literally eight months ago and i'm like i'm buying a horse well i'm leasing
i'm leasing but not yet paperwork hasn't been signed you know i still need to think it out
essentially the leasing that they do there is not like oh it's their horse and i'm just showing up
every once in a while she's like you pay for boarding you pay for everything that would
everybody else would pay for for their own horse um so that includes vet fees that includes farrier
that includes you also buying your own saddle you buying your own reins which i respect because
it's like yes like i if i'm gonna take on this responsibility i need to take it on fully but i
also appreciate her being like take your time there really is no rush at all feel it out see
how it goes but i might be a horse owner soon isn't that fucking crazy i never would have expected
this for myself a year ago i never would have thought i would be in this position but i followed
my dreams i got out there i tested myself i tried it out and i'm so proud of myself for doing so
because now I'm in this position where not only am I kind of like gaining respect from people who
have been in it for such a long time but I'm trusted by them they want to see me succeed I
want to see myself succeed and I would just die to have my own horse and be able to go out there
anytime I want anytime I want rider on the trails be out in nature go into the arena maybe even
start doing barrels oh my god dreams are coming true so everybody collectively manifest manifest

the honorary girls too i don't care what's in your pants okay if you're listening to this podcast
you're an honorary girl me chugging my celsius okay with that being said though enough yapping
let's get into your guys's questions because there's a lot that i want to go over so i think
i'm gonna do kind of like a question roulette not even roulette just like let's get as many done as
possible someone said not a question but i was trimming my bush and fucked up a cut and had to
go bald no a baddie down oh my god my my puss has not been bald in about i don't know i don't know
let's go eight years i'm not even kidding i feel like when i first started shaving i would just
shave everything off because it was so much easier but once I discovered how to maintain a bush which
is pretty much just shaving around it and trimming it down it's the way to go but even if I fucked
her up I'd probably just leave a landing strip just because I would feel like a naked mole rat
without it not that I'm calling you that love you queen it'll grow back literally faster than you
ever could have imagined I don't know what it is about the hair down there that grows back 10 times
faster than any other hair on my body my armpits probably grow the slowest i shave my armpits like
once a month but down there oh my god i gotta shave like twice a week if that if i'm feeling
extravagant i'll go twice a week but oh my god baddie down for real i thought that question was
going somewhere else i thought i was gonna be like and i accidentally cut a lippy because i've
been there especially when i was first learning how to shave oh my god the worst the worst if i
got like a little a cut or a nick down there i'd be out for the count out and i can't believe women
okay love you love women bravest of us all truly honestly i cannot believe they we give birth i'm
like they no girl we not that i have but who knows we give birth and that shit tears open
oh my god we need to be worshipped we need to be worshipped and prayed to and treated much better
than we are because the way we're able to create life and then go through like the most traumatic
experience ever to bring it into into the world and then just like pretend like nothing happened
and then raise it for 18 years oh my god mothers you deserve the world i know mother's day is
coming up everybody send your mother flowers tell them i love you if they were a good mother um but
props to us truly props to us advice on hating the city you live in but loving your job and that's
why you stay oh you know what i was at a point there with kansas city where i was like i hate
this fucking place i hate this fucking place i need to go i talk about california a lot but if
I'm gonna move to California it's got to be like I have to be like very confident in why and where
and who and what and all the questions I'm a person who has to go over every single question
every single situation before I commit and that is a fault of mine because sometimes overthinking
is the problem acting is truly how you discover and how you know and grow and understand but I
just am not in a place where I'm ready to up and move my life across the country quite yet
um I would do it for a fantastic opportunity but it's like the things that I'm doing here would
just be the same things I'm doing there it's just a different environment and so I was like all
right what am I gonna do stay here and stay miserable and horrible and evil and awful
because I'm upset at like the city I'm in or do I do I try and see it from a new perspective
see it from a new lens and listen you're thinking Kansas City oh who knows what you're thinking
probably unglamorous and you're probably correct in that aspect I just spent so much time here
that I feel like I was doing the same things over and over and over again or on the flip side doing
nothing and that's why I hated it I needed to start building new experiences I needed to start
seeing it in new perspectives I needed to go try new food I needed to go to new areas I felt like
I had lived a full life here and it treated me well but I felt like I outgrew it and then I was
like in this weird limbo phase of like i hate where i am and i hate you know that i'm here and
i'm not going to do anything about it i'm not going to move so i need to for survival i need
to learn to love it so what did i start doing started taking horseback riding lessons i was
like fuck it if i'm gonna be here let's just try new things i don't care what it is it could be
hiking it could be atving it could be a motorcycle club it could be a paint and sip i don't give a
fuck it was like i just need to try new things and see new sides of where i am so hopefully i can
learn to love it a little bit more i also need to get out of my house more often i felt like i had
done everything and then i stayed inside for too long and it was like okay well the three years
you stayed inside bitch so much has opened so many new things has happened so many different
opportunities are presenting themselves go out go experience go try new things it's so easy as
humans to kind of get in our favorite rotation of things it's like all right eat sleep work
favorite restaurant once a week maybe hang out with the same friends and that gets very redundant
it's very boring your brain wants new stimuli new experiences so i started kind of challenging
myself all right one new coffee shop a week or one new restaurant a week or just like going on a walk
in a new park figuring out new little trails to go explore taking a new route to work so i'm not
seeing the same things every single day and I really put that into practice over the winter
as like a survival tactic because I couldn't really be outside as much and it really has
flipped how I see this city is it my dream city no is it the place that I'm going to live for the
rest of my life probably fucking not but do I now enjoy my life more and am I taking more
opportunities and I am am I appreciating the world around me a little bit more yes absolutely
that's why i was so adamant about getting to the tulip fields i was like oh i could stay in bed and
just do what i usually do doom scroll and not experience life and it was like okay miserable
get up put on a cute outfit yes you will feel good in that cute outfit go out into the flowers go
frolic go experience a new farm that you've never been to and guess what i had a blast i had an
exciting time and it brought new life new energy new joy to the place that i do currently live in
so you love your job job's important money's important unfortunately so but you hate your
city that's okay have you given it a fair shot have you maybe tried everything that you thought
you might like and now you need to try new things do you need to switch up your routines do you need
to get maybe 30 miles outside of the city see something a little bit further these are the
questions i'd be asking myself new hobbies new friends new whatever you need newness and there's
always newness to find wherever you are i promise you i thought i had done every fucking thing in
this city i have been in this city since i was 13 years old whether i was supposed to be here or not
i would literally run away from the suburbs from the country hitch a ride out to the city spend
like a weekend here crash at my brother's place on his couch do everything i possibly could the
worst way possible and it kind of like ruined the experience i was like damn i feel like i've
ran this city dry and there's always new things to discover that's something i'm always learning
you think you know it all you never do you never do and no one likes to know it all you know no
one likes somebody who's like oh i've done that it's like okay cool well maybe you need to try
something else now i'm talking to me personally like i just get so stubborn it's like bitch have
some fun relax chill go experience life where our parents right is smoking weed every day making me
boring and lazy? Oop. Did my mom submit this question? Here's the thing. And here's the answer
to every question you could possibly submit. Maybe, maybe, maybe the weed is making you boring
and lazy and that's okay. I mean, is that, isn't that kind of why we smoke weed in the first place?
Like, let's be honest. Let's be honest with ourselves. I'm not picking up a joint going,
wow i can't wait to fill out an excel spreadsheet and do math that's for fucking sure definitely
not am i picking up a joint smoking and going oh i cannot wait to do engineering work hell
no i'm picking up and i'm smoking a joint and going i want to relax and slow my fucking brain
down and chill out okay we talked about last week being a productive stoner it's possible but
there's limitations to everything to understand your experience with something you have to
understand that thing's true purpose i mean weed is meant to chill you out weed is meant to relax
you weed is meant to make you a little bit lazy and dissociative so don't do it at times that you
don't want to be that way you know it's it's a very simple you know exchange of energy same thing
with drinking it's like am i gonna take a shot before i have to go drive my car hell no that's
the last thing i'm gonna be fucking doing am i gonna fuck like go drink a cocktail or eight
before i have to go horseback riding no i need my full brain intact to make those decisions
so so i won't be doing it in situations that it is unnecessary and you should probably question
yourself when you're using substances in situations where you shouldn't be period point
blank okay so yeah maybe maybe it is making you lazy dissociative all the things people like to
say about weed because at the end of the day I mean that's kind of what it's for I'm smoking
weed so I can chill out and not be such a bitch all the time but also I'm not smoking weed when
I need my brain to be on when I need to be thinking when I need to be doing things that
are important that require full cognition I'm not going out and having cocktails when I need to
you know be on be aware be doing things that are serious have my full brain attacked
i'm having a cocktail on a patio on a warm summer day when i have absolutely fucking nothing to do
afterwards i'm smoking weed maybe in the afternoon when i have nothing else going on
other than maybe laundry or dishes or vacuuming my house and chilling out you know so maybe our
parents were right maybe they were and maybe i didn't need to be smoking weed at 11 a.m or
let's actually say 7 30 a.m before i went into history class in high school that did not need
to be happening not at all no no and they were right it was making me lazy and boring but
also that's the point so do it when it's necessary do it when it makes sense
and i think that will help with that difficult relationship balance that people might have with
substances that's kind of how i i've always thought about it and that's what's made substances
and when to use them and when to know if it's right much easier on me.
And listen, I love to indulge, but I'm not eating eight gummies and going out in public.
I will have a panic attack and I will make it everybody's problem.

Hi Hannah, I wanted to say that you've had such a big impact on my life
that I'll be forever grateful for, honestly.
And I wanted some advice on getting into rave culture
when you have no friends to go with.
i don't know if that hold me back though i don't know if that hold me back
um any advice would be greatly appreciated hey baddie happy to have you here okay i guess this
is great considering coachella just happened and i've been seeing a lot of discourse on coachella
and i've never been to a coachella but still festival rave concert etiquette i feel like
people have been complaining so hard about coachella this season because of the lack of
etiquette and I don't think that comes from rave culture I think that comes from just like the
general people who go there because with rave culture it is all about community it is all about
making sure everybody has a good time in my opinion in my opinion I mean plur is plur for a
reason peace love unity respect but going to concerts going to raves anything like that I
I actually have always done alone of course occasionally I'd convince a friend to go or
you know I'd convince my boyfriend to go or whatever it was but usually most the time if
I'm going to a concert or a rave it was me alone doing it so let me give you some tips and tricks
to going to a concert alone first of all safety of course don't do any drugs do not get super
fucking drunk have fun make sure you have like a safe way to get there and get home make sure
somebody knows where you are don't accept drinks from strangers blah blah blah blah safety is good
safety is good to know but usually you know these are controlled environments controlled spaces
safety is going to be thought of before you even get there thank god by the people working it
but still just be careful be aware of your surroundings be kind to people around you
now concerts are a great place to go and feel so fantastic because everybody's usually there to
have a good time you know even if you're going to the most hardcore punk show where they're
throwing elbows and fists and breaking collarbones it's like a girl's leaving with a broken collarbone
going that was the most fun i've ever had because they wanted to do it they wanted to be there they
know that's that's an option that's a possibility of happening when people are windmilling around
the pits okay of course it's not the ideal experience but you know it's like people are
usually there to have a good time enjoy their space make connections make friends so i think
it's always a great place to go even if you're alone as long as you spark up conversations with
people around you even just like hey i like your shirt and then that starts sparking up a
conversation you're like yeah i'm here alone is it okay if i like kick it with you here like in
the pit like i'm i'm not gonna move anywhere else is it cool if i stand next to you and just like
chit chat chit chat in between like the opener and maybe after the show maybe you go to afters
with them whatever it may be but like don't be afraid to spark up conversation and my favorite
way to spark up conversation is through a compliment it really neutralizes the environment
where you're like you're entering the conversation in a positive way and it shows you're a positive
person and people are more inclined to you know chit chat with you i really am pro doing i mean
anything alone but i think a concert a show a festival a rave really is the best way to
experience being alone because the probability of you leaving with a new bestie is very very high
like i said safety i think the biggest issue when it comes to rave culture is the prevalence of
drugs um it it was a big problem for me i got way too into molly in a very bad unhealthy way
if you can do it without drugs that's probably how i would encourage you to do it i obviously do it
now without drugs and i'll just drink a little bit if i'm there i'll have a little cocktail a
little vodka red bull whatever it is maybe a little red bull before i go in if i want to stay
sober maybe smoke a little weed keep it chill keep it light keep it funky keep it fresh but that's
where you see it becoming maybe a little bit more um unhealthy is the drug usage that is prevalent
at any sort of concert or show i have a lot of friends who go sober and i think it's so important
to at least go to some shows sober because you've got to be there for the community aspect you've
got to be there for the experience of it all you've got to be there and remember it the next
day it's so important to do so yeah i love concerts i love festivals i love raves because
everybody's there for a good time especially if you're in the pit or the front like everybody's
there to enjoy their time enjoy their space and of course there's a couple bad eggs there's going
to be people shoving their way through the crowd there's going to be people who are rude who are
mean whatever if you don't like it the best thing you can do is just like not confront it someone
else will probably do that and hopefully it's security best thing you should do is just move
spaces you know protect your peace of mind protect your environment your space it's not worth getting
into a fight or possibly getting kicked out if they want to be an asshole let them be an asshole
but don't ruin your night over it but raves are really healing for me as an individual who's like
very insecure and never got to let their freak flag fly because the freakiest wildest craziest
people are going to raves they're going there for a good time they're wearing very little clothing
they're very body positive they're covered in glitter they're there to dance and have a good
time and enjoy the three hours that the show is and like stare into lasers like how are you not
going to have a good time you know what i mean go there wear something you feel confident and
comfortable in show up make conversation stay safe and really just try and have the best time
ever i think you will i i really am glad i had my rave phase you know outside of the drug addict
phase that very subsequently came after um but i really enjoyed my rave phase because it taught
me a lot about confidence body positivity building community and just being comfortable in my own
skin the rave community is very pro community and just like acceptance and I think it's a really
great place to be if you need a little bit of that an extra dose of peace and understanding
so I hope you have so much fun and I hope you enjoy your time there and I hope you make a new
bestie but yeah I always went to raves and concerts in general always alone because like
what am I gonna miss the show hell no I'm gonna go I'm gonna get in line I'm a spark conversation
with the person in front of me and the person behind me one of them will stick one of them
we'll be like all right bitch you're kicking it with us so yeah have fun what is your stance on
holistic health and living with the land oh babe I'm ready to homestead any second but I am not
ready to homestead in an R.S. Smith way I do believe in science and I'm not a Mormon so keep
that in mind I am pro holistic health and I'm pro living with the land but also like we are thank
god in a time with modern day science and medicine and sometimes most of the time you're
gonna need science and medicine a little cold little cough little sniffle yeah i'm gonna have
a little tea mixture herbal mixture that i can sip on with some local honey and it's gonna heal
that i'm gonna get through it much faster absolutely yes if i have breast cancer i'm
gonna go get radiation and chemo like there's gotta be a balance to it there love living with
the land too because i think as technology advances we're becoming very disconnected with
the land we're becoming very disconnected with nature disconnected with animals and i think what
makes us human is our connection with the land and animals so it's good to have a balance there
where you're like not taking everything for granted because that's really the main issue
there is we're just taking the earth for granted and sucking up all the resources and using using
using and abusing mother earth you deserve not us humans that's for sure um so i do think being
aware and being more present in our position with the earth is so important and having respect there
but also i understand like i'm not going to be able to grow all of my vegetables and herbs and
fruit and berries and I'm probably gonna have to go to the grocery store to get some of those you
know I'm gonna try and get like as you know healthy as possible as local as possible but also like not
everybody has the money or the opportunity to do so and truly whatever you can get at the end of
the day as matters as long as you can eat and feed yourself and your children and whatever you are
I'm not gonna judge you there like everybody's in a different position but yeah I do want to kind of
be more with the land, thus me about to lease a horse. Um, and I want to be more connected with
nature and yeah, I want to get a little more holistic by learning about local plants. I'm
actually taking a class this summer. It's just like a one-off class about learning, um, local
plants that grow in Missouri and Kansas, any sort of the plains area that can be used for medicinal
purposes or teas. Um, there's a small little tea company that I'm going to go take a class with
just because i'm curious you know we kind of forget about the earth a lot especially being so
online and so um you know just connected to technology but i don't want to be i think about
this a lot i think about this a lot i don't want to be one of those wally characters that are in
space like 800 goddamn pounds floating around on those little chairs typing on their computers
completely disconnected. I don't want to be that Wally person with like a big gulp attached to my
neck. That's not who I want to be. Okay. I still want to be a well-rounded individual. Yeah. I'm
going to scroll on TikTok for maybe 30 minutes a day. Okay. Yes. I'm going to take pictures of
myself and upload them on Instagram. Yes. I'm going to have a podcast. Yes. I'm going to enjoy
technology, but I'm not going to let technology take away from me. That's kind of like my big
balancing moment so yeah i do love holistic health i do love nature but there's balances to everything
you know it's like this horse this horse has allergies it's like the main issue that she was
really trying to hone in with me like you really got to take care of any sort of bites or skins
fly bites especially but um she gets two supplements one is a spirulina powder which
is fantastic for her allergies i guess so that's one thing so that's a holistic option she's like
she also gets 20 Zyrtec I'm like oh okay so there is a balance to everything you know a little nudge
a little help from a natural but also knowing when to invest in science because science is so
important please science is real please believe in science shout out to the squad who just went
around the moon that's so cool love it question for you today this is so funny if you had to go
anywhere no no not anywhere sorry you have two options you have to pick one would you go to
outer space or the bottom of the ocean oh me and my boss were talking about uh the moon landing and
i was like would you go to space he's like hell no i was like okay now you have two options here
space or the bottom of the ocean me i'm going to space i'm going to space immediately i don't know
what's that down at the bottom of the ocean except for darkness and like massive squids i don't need
to be there i don't think we're supposed to be at the bottom of the ocean i don't think we're
supposed to be there as humans space we've been there i can go there you know i'm not an ocean gal
you know i just i i love the ocean i love getting about three feet in it anything else i'm like
honestly i'm good i think i think i'm supposed to be on land i don't even think i'm supposed to be
in the air just on land tips on how to mentally deal with seeing my evil cheating ex in public
all the time oh girl get even get even i know karma is one thing but like fuck it if you're
seeing him all the time in public i'm not against a little sabotage i'm not okay let's get crazy
let's get crazy let's give some unhealthy advice here for a second i know i usually try and stay
as healthy as possible but where's the fun in that where's the fun in that i'm curious on where
you're seeing him i'm assuming out at bars considering he's evil and cheating and people
who evil and cheat love to go to clubs and bars and see who their next victim will be so here's
what i would do here's what i would do my boyfriend cheated on me and then was like going out all the
time i would also go out because there's no reason you need to stay inside because the devil is
running rampant okay you just kind of have to become your own sort of angel which means if you
see him this is crazy this is crazy and it's kind of a waste of time but fuck it we got time we got
so much time to live if you see him like go up to a girl and you see it go well and maybe he walks
off to go to the bathroom maybe he like you know um goes off to get them drinks at the bar or
something you should go up to that girl and you should be like this is so evil Gemini of me okay
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde which one which one's the bad one someone tell me I'm sure someone's reading
that book right now um I think it's Mr. Hyde you should go up to her and you should be like
hey girl i just i saw you talking to him and as somebody who just like really wants to make sure
like you know the situation of what's going on i just want to let you know he has been giving stds
to all of the girls across town to the point where he has his own dedicated facebook page
where all the girls who have gotten std from him are coming together and they're actually putting
together a class action lawsuit so i just don't want you to be a part of that because i've heard
it's something that they like can't get rid of so i just wanted to give you a warning before you
fully commit i'm just trying to look out for you girl i just saw him walk up to you and i didn't
want to say anything at first but i just is that bad that's bad you shouldn't do that but like i'm
laughing at the idea of that situation sabotage sabotage if you see him leave his wallet on the
table take it like go give it to the bouncer and be like i think someone lost this if you know
anything that's happening go up to the dj booth and like be dancing up on the dj booth and be
like can you give me a shout out it's my birthday and you're like shout out to miss hannah marlene
in the house it's like yes you'll never forget about me make you're like oh i keep running into
him and it's ruining my day you gotta you gotta switch it around he keeps running into me and
it's ruining his day okay own that space take it over because you're a hot girl i know you can
all right if he's talking to a girl go steal the girl hey girl oh my god i love your vibe come
dance with me come dance with me all of a sudden he's at the drink he's at the bar getting them
drinks just kidding no you're dancing with his bitch it's kind of a waste of time but like like
i said we got time to waste fuck it you can get a little evil i'm pro getting evil if it's necessary
and i hate i hate that like he's in all those places that you want to go to that's no fun okay
claim that space claim that energy you deserve to be there too girl make him uncomfortable make
him leave as gemini season slowly approaches i find myself getting a little more evil i do like
it though because it's like sometimes i'm too nice can we talk about being too nice i think
i don't know as a woman or whatever as i say um i just feel like i was raised to be very aware of
people's emotions and feelings and everything going on at every possible point in time but
never about myself I was actually I feel like taught and this doesn't have anything to do with
my parents this was like a social conditioning of just being a woman in the world um I feel like I
was taught to mostly ignore how I'm feeling and always be there for other people that's why I
went into nursing I was like I mean I'm good at it obviously so I could definitely help people
instead of helping myself then I finally was like no fuck it fuck it I'm dropping out of nursing
school i need to take care of me i need to focus on me i need to get a little evil i need a little
selfish i'm too nice okay sometimes being too nice is a downfall that doesn't mean you shouldn't be
nice you should be nice at the end of the day you should be nice but also there's a point in time
where the niceness has got to go where it's like but they don't deserve my nicest they don't deserve
my kindness they've broken my heart they've cheated on me they lied they've stabbed me in
the fucking back they don't deserve they don't deserve nice me okay so it's okay to let the nice
girl act go every once in a while and be evil i'm pro evil girl around here what to do when
everything in life is going wrong tbh oh oh this is hard well this is hard because it's like mental
breakdown central and as you should i mean no one's telling you to keep it together i'll tell
you that i'll give you permission okay actually maybe society is telling you to keep it together
but when you're on the brink babe sometimes you just gotta jump and not like jump like
like unhealthily i don't mean like in a bad way i mean like when you're on the edge of like do i
start sobbing or not you gotta sob you gotta sob it out you gotta feel those emotions fully you
gotta have that crying on the kitchen floor moment and then it'll give you the space to be
like okay i got those heavy emotions and those feelings out of the way i don't feel like i'm
holding something inside of me locked behind a cell door i actually have freedom to then
kind of be at peace and not so emotional and think clearly and think fully and move forward
so yes you when things are going wrong i'm gonna tell you what it's okay have the mental breakdown
it's all right don't make bad decisions but if you need to go home early or take a day off take a
mental health day love and cry the fuck out of your eyes and order $80 of sushi maybe that is
a bad decision but whatever whatever in the grand scheme of things not the worst decision you could
make and I don't know like sob on the shower floor for four hours until the hot water runs out
it's my favorite thing to do then do it it's necessary it needs to happen and honestly I feel
like I mean back in the day my life used to be one long mental breakdown and then I got a hold
of my life and realized wow I don't have to do that to myself every single day just because I'm
comfortable in it and I can look for better I will I don't mean to jinx myself here but I will notice
I'll be like hmm I haven't cried in a while and the universe would be like oh you said you haven't
cried in a while okay here's eight different things going wrong good luck good luck now you
get a good cry sesh so you have to have the cry sesh you've got get it off your chest feel it out
release those emotions so you have more mental room and mental capacity to then move forward
i also kind of love when everything goes wrong because when you are at the deepest darkest place
when everything is going wrong every choice you make even if it feels like the wrong choice
kind of like an equal opposition will go right do you know what i mean i know okay let me get into
the logistics of this okay let me get serious about this two and five canadians will hear the

When everything is going wrong, everything, I'm telling you, think everything's going wrong,
or you're at the deepest, darkest, lowest place you could possibly be. And you're like,
hmm well you can't get deeper than here you can't get lower than here it can't more things can't go
wrong when everything is going wrong more things can't go wrong okay and i like to think it comes
in threes you also hear when it rains it pours so keep that in mind there's also like a balance to
things usually but when you're at that place where it's like i'm in the bottom of the pit babe there's
only up and i think that's kind of freeing in a sense where you're like all right well everything's
bad everything's horrible everything's awful world's on fire around me meme of the dog drinking
coffee and the house is on fire okay but also on the flip side the choices i make even if i decide
to make crazy fucking choices if i decide to like 360 my life completely right now if i decide to
look up if I decide to make a change if I decide to do something if I decide to do something
the the probability of that thing going right is like a hundred percent okay I will say that
99.8 percent 99.8 percent chance that that shit will go right so there is that freedom I do think
to make the right choice whether it's like you know I lost my job lost my car boyfriend broke
up with me fucking everything's going wrong bills bills money bills um and I'm ugly and I'm chopped
just kidding I'm just kidding but like when you hit that point you need to have that mental
breakdown you got to get those emotions out of you you got to get like a clear calm there's like
a euphoria you feel after like a good cry sesh where it's like almost that like orgasmic spot
you hit in meditation where your brain is like so empty and clear in a beautiful way that then
you'll be able to go hmm well what do i have to lose let me apply for that new fucking job i never
thought i'd get and let me apply to eight of them why not why not let me show up to that interview

really picky about people fuck it what do i have to lose let me sign up for grad school fuck it
what do i have to lose let me go lisa horse fuck it what do i have to lose well all right but you
see what i'm saying you see what i'm saying so there's a beauty there you'll get to that spot
where you're like all right the beauty is there you'll find it eventually but you gotta you gotta
release the demons a little bit you gotta let them loose not on people not on places not on
things on yourself just in a safe environment almost as if you're in a padded cell released
those demons scream it out cry it out whatever you gotta do you'll hit the place where you will
go you know what i don't give a fuck anymore let's let's look up just so we can garner a little bit
of hope let's put ourselves out there let's do the random thing we've been meaning to do let's
try this thing let's do this thing let's sign up for this let's let's for any sort of opportunity

bottom me and me and rock bottom we we know each other well so trust if there's anybody who's going
to tell you about rock bottom and know it and know how it works it's me and these are things i also
remind myself of when i am in these points where i'm like hmm do i lose my mind and literally go
to the psych ward for the rest of my life or jail or do i like randomly out of spite and hatred for
being in a bad place do i look at my biggest dreams and go fuck it let's try it that's that's
the place you want to be hey mama and hey to my bud if you happen to recognize my voice he
introduced me to the pod and has not missed a tuesday in several years but i'm gonna give a
quick reddit intro of myself i am 21 as of late december i am in college i have a job i have a
great support system and that pertains to what is going on i believe in the past you have mentioned
that you went to a mental hospital if you haven't i'm sorry for spreading fake news
but that did just happen to me and at the stage that I am in my life right now I am able to kind
of have a halt in school and work so I can really focus on healing because I kind of push it off for
too long but that is really not important right now I have experienced medical therapy and I know
you have too and it helps however I really enjoy the same things as you as like you know going out
side and like you interact with horses i love interacting with my rotund orange cat oscar
love that man to death but i kind of want some advice i've been journaling for a bit i've been
getting off my phone but i think i can do without more and you have a lot of experience so thank
you you're so cute i'm so proud of you for getting the help you need and shout out to you and your
bestie for being avid listeners happy to have you here um also take note perfect call-in crisp
clear can hear what they're saying quick little reddit intro of background information let's get
into it like i love perfect okay so like i said proud of you for getting help it's okay to take
a pause it's okay to take a pause i think some people especially with like how fast life goes
and how like you know intense it can be especially college work job home like whoa it's a lot to keep
up with sometimes you have to take a pause and if you don't take that pause things will get very
very bad i've learned better to take a pause and then catch up later than not take your pause and
crash and burn so i'm proud of you for getting the help you need and doing what you need to do
yeah once you come out of the mental institution okay we'll talk about institution i need a hoodie
that's like is it a harvard it's like mental health institution graduate top of her class
they of course are gonna have you in therapy talk therapy is so important um i i did a lot
of talk therapy when i got out of the mental um hospital just because i really needed that and
it is very helpful especially when you're struggling and maybe it's like you have a lot
of um contradicting opinions around you having a professional who truly wants the best for you but
also keeps it professional is important so it's good to have that i'm glad you have a cutie little
animal to lean on i lean on danger hard i had him peak mental institution it was like he's the only
one i'm holding on to well at least you got someone to hold on to okay important i love that
you're like walking you're trying new things you're doing new things that's important because
not only will it help you learn more about yourself it'll also keep you busy it'll keep
your mind from instead of like running down dark paths it'll keep it on positive uplifting ones
because you're doing things that are dosing you with serotonin positive serotonin okay going on
a walk getting some sunshine on your face maybe um going to a little workout class whether it's
like maybe a little yoga situation or Pilates or going on a run.
That seems like a lot, especially post-mentee-bees.
So I don't blame you for being like,
you know I'm not running 11 miles.
I get you. I get you.
At least a walk is fantastic.
10,000 steps a day.
That's been my new goal.
I've realized I'm not walking enough.
At least 10,000 steps a day.
I think also if therapy is like, eh, okay.
journaling might be really fantastic for you I love journaling and like allowing myself to really
just run through my feelings run through my emotions and get them out of my head and onto a
page and also goal setting and dreaming when I was at a place that was like deep dark bottomless pit
it was because I didn't have any goals or dreams and it's okay if your dreams feel
unachievable that's what dreams are for it's okay if you're like I'm gonna be a millionaire and I'm
gonna move to france it's like okay cool well we got something to work towards we got something to
look forward towards it's important to have those dreams have those things in mind so then it keeps
you moving forward because when you come out of that place that's kind of like whoa we had to
pause you know then you kind of play the catch-up game which is okay there's no need to run after
stopping that's going to be really hard on your body and your brain it's okay to like take your
time working your way back into life and kind of like figuring it out and maybe getting back into
a good work routine or home life routine or getting into a back into a good school routine
whatever it may be all right take your time getting there but once you get there that's when
you start implementing things that are like working towards your dreams sometimes school is working
towards your dreams sometimes hobbies are working towards your dreams hobbies are so important also
as like a mental break from the load that life gives you such as like work school things that
you have to do so maybe pick up some fun little hobbies you never would have thought of ceramics
painting drawing jewelry making crafting getting into horses getting into working with uh animal
shelter maybe who know who knows building an aquarium i don't know i don't know what it is
but i know something's piquing your interest now is the time to slowly start dipping your toe in
because that's what will give you the will to live that's what will give you the will to live
work no it's not going to give you the will to live i fear it quite actually does the opposite
unless you have the perfect job school yeah no definitely not going to give you the will to live
once again does the exact opposite because they're pushing you as hard as possible
so me i'm very pro will to live and i find that personally through hobbies activities
things that stimulate either my mind or my spirit or my soul okay it's good to get into that flow
state that routine take your time getting back on track once again i'm proud of you for taking
that pause because everybody's gonna have to take a pause eventually everybody no matter how
mentally stable they will eventually have a crash and burn moment where they have to take a pause
so i'm proud of you for knowing what you need and doing accordingly take your time getting back on
track keep leaning into those coping mechanisms it's probably what they called them coping
mechanisms whether it's therapy is great maybe some journaling when you're not in therapy so
then when you are in therapy and you eventually sit down and go what the fuck do i talk about i
feel fine you open your journal you have your things to talk about um love on your cat as much
as possible and maybe start leaning into one new activity or hobby that you can work into your
routine gives you something to look forward to gives you something to help dissociate from life
to also while you're doing it and um invigorates that part of your brain that gets you to dream
more to look forward more to keep moving forward that's that you've got to kind of like train your
brain and that brain muscle of move forward look forward dream i talk about dreaming and i talk
about that so much because it's like i didn't do that and it truly is what almost killed me
so if i can encourage you to dream or to you know have a healthy hobby that gets you to
get excited about life no matter what it is there's no there's no embarrassing hobby
okay i saw a video last night that was like uh people with rc cars they do rc car climbing on
big hills like teeny tiny little rc cars you can buy it like i don't know any sort of grocery store
and they'll like just get together and they'll drive them up a hill and it was like them doing
that and then like a run club stopping to watch them i don't care what your hobby is you could
be playing with lightsabers for all i care as long as it's important to you makes you have the will
to live then you should be doing it and if you don't know what that is yet try new things it's
okay if you don't like them but you would be surprised by what you do like i love you uh
and thank you for listening i hope um i hope i was able to keep you company along the way
and I hope you feel better now are doing better now and I know you're gonna move forward onto a
bright and beautiful path so I'm proud of you for getting the help you need how do I become more
secure when my confidence fluctuates I think people don't like me well yeah you don't think
people like you because you don't like yourself that's a big thing when I when I get insecure
and I'm like in a room of people or anything or even like um if I'm home alone and since I am
like prevalent online I'll be like oh my god everybody hates me even though no one has ever
said that ever like still I'll be in my head like people are watching my stuff and making fun of me
it's like okay who cares if they are who cares they're stop it stop it sometimes I'll have like
a pity party for a second and then I'll be like no quit it stop it get out of that headspace
but I find when I am in that headspace when I'm in public and I'm feeling insecure and I feel like
everybody's looking at me even though they're not or like online I feel like everybody's making fun
of me even though they're not it's because I'm doing that to myself we are our own biggest bullies
we know our insecurities we know what makes us insecure we know how to talk down to ourselves
better than anybody else because guess what we know ourselves better than anybody else okay the
same thing that someone said in seventh grade that hurt you once you're gonna keep saying to
yourself over and over and over again and believing that it's true even though it's not
all right so you have to stop bullying yourself i think a lot of the times we just bully ourselves
to the point where we become so insecure that then we assume everybody else around us is doing the
same thing to us when in reality babe i'm looking at the man in the mirror i'm asking him to change
his ways okay so number one you gotta stop bullying yourself and when you're in those
moments you got to catch yourself and go damn I'm bullying myself I gotta stop I can't bully myself
or the same way you would like stop a bully by being like you're mean you're awful you're being
horrible you kind of just say that to yourself a little bit like stop like why am I saying this
myself like why am I bullying myself catch yourself in the moment and then the thing about
insecurity or not being confident is that we always have the opportunity to grow every day
a new opportunity you can always get cooler you can if you're cool enough how you are i love that
that's fantastic love security but the insecurity the instability comes from your truly honestly
your desire to grow your desire to be someone else in a healthy way you know like wanting to
change wanting to develop wanting to get new habits wanting to get new hobbies wanting to get
a new look a new style a new thing whatever it is that's where the insecurity stems from and I love
that I've been in a flow state of like talking about transmuting energy because I think a lot
of our negative feelings or transmitting emotions negative emotions are truly at the end of the day
positive emotions we just get them really fucked up and confused in our head due to our unstable
thinking patterns so I do think that a lot of like the insecurity instability lack of confidence
is really your just desire to grow okay when I'm feeling the most insecure the most unstable
not myself it's because well either a I stopped doing what works for me such as like taking care
of myself eating healthy working out moving my body things like that I've stopped doing that
and thus I've gotten out of routine and the things that are good for me are not happening
and thus I don't feel good or I'm in a new place where I've been doing those things and now it's
time to add on it's time to um I've just built another cocoon around myself and now it's time
to emerge again as a beautiful butterfly which includes trying new things wearing new outfits
testing your limits a little bit picking up a new hobby um that cool girl that you imagine in your
head becoming her you always have an opportunity to become that cool girl you can start over today
and become her absolutely 100% I truly believe that because like I think about younger Hannah
who was oh my god mind numbingly insecure to the point where I would be like counting freckles on
my body because I'd be like so insecure about them or like over analyzing myself to the point
where i'm like turning to stone and like just afraid to do anything couldn't go out in public
agoraphobia all the things it is like it breaks my heart to think about that because it's like

thought I could get here. I never thought I'd be who I am. And I love who I am. I'm so proud of
growing to this point. And of course, there's more to grow too. I know I'm only going to get hotter
and cooler and sexier and smarter and that's like the beauty of life but also it took me going i'm
tired of this i'm tired of bullying myself i'm tired of feeling like completely frozen in time
i'm tired of hating myself why don't i talk about rock bottom having no choice but to look up because
the probability of it going correct is way higher why don't i just try doing something that i want
to do why don't i just try putting on that outfit that i'm too scared to put on why don't i just try
going out and getting some yummy food why don't i just try yoga why don't i just try horseback
riding why don't i try transmuting you know transforming into that hot cool girl that i
could be instead of holding myself at this level that i know is uncomfortable that i know i hate
that i know i feel insecure in it really is just like sometimes you get fed up with yourself and
you go i'm tired of the bullying i'm tired of being sad all the time i'm tired of being angry
at myself let's let's transform let's grow let's get those wings fluttering and flying let's get
out of that cocoon okay let's become who we've always wanted to be it's always an option but
yes i know that's like my first kind of like trigger i know when i feel like there's eyes on
me all the time or um i feel like other people hate me that's like when i know oh my god i'm
getting to a place where i'm feeling a little bit insecure and why then i can figure out the why
the how the what to fix but that is a big telltale sign because you shouldn't feel that way if people
are who gives a fuck who gives a fuck truly once you're secure in yourself you'll realize damn that
really does not matter like if people want to make fun of me online damn how miserable do they have
to be also go ahead because it just adds more money to my bank account and also at the end of
the day like i'm a good person i know i'm a good person i don't think i could get to the level of
like noticeability like people who are like famous famous are because that's just like too much for
me but I'm very happy with where I am now and my presence on the internet and just like living and
learning and enjoying life because if someone doesn't like me that's okay that just means I'm
not their cup of tea but also I'm not everybody's cup of tea and I'm not trying to be once again
too nice you don't have to be that nice it's okay if somebody doesn't like you it's okay if you're
being looked at in public those people are miserable and ugly and dumb and stupid no i'm
kidding i'm joking i'm joking i'm joking you should feel comfortable in yourself if you don't
feel comfortable in yourself there's always room to grow and change imagine a dream hot baddie okay
in front of you who are they what do they look like how do they present themselves what do they
do now take on one of those characteristics that you can easily achieve maybe it's simply just like
doing your hair or fun makeup or a cute outfit or like a personality trait maybe they're more
outgoing maybe you start talking to people in public a little bit maybe they're doing this
hobby maybe whatever it is start with something small and then slowly add on you'll get out of
that place i promise you it's okay we all get insecure it's human it's human to get insecure
i fear that is the curse of sentience babe the older i get the more i go damn we are not meant
to think that much i got too much free time i am not supposed to be thinking this much specifically
about ourselves think about it cavemen it'd be like wake up food fuck shelter sleep sleep long
time like that's how it would be because oh my god there's so much to do survival survival survival
they're not thinking oh my god is that cave woman looking at me wrong it's like we got too much time
to think and I do appreciate being so busy because it's made me think a little bit less but I have to
keep myself busy so the demons don't get me you know what I mean talk about your top pet peeves
oh what are my top pet peeves okay let's be honest I don't like burping I don't like farting
I'm not a he he ha ha fart louder kind of girl I don't like it I don't like it it grosses me out
I didn't grow up actually I did grow up around someone who burped and fart and it was my older
brother and it'd be like him burping and farting in my face and I'm like oh I don't need that hate
it hate it especially if I'm in public and I don't know you and you're burping and farting
you please get those get the smells get the noises away from me I can't do it I can't do it I can't
do it doesn't mean you have to change feel free to burp and fart in public but I will side eye you
next not holding the door for people I find that strange and odd when I am walking into a building
and there is a person behind me i don't care who they are i'm holding that door open maybe it's
the midwest in me where it's like the sensibility of people around you bitch i was driving to
horseback riding this this morning and there was a 400 pound shirtless man long ass beard
flying down the road on an atv you would think he's probably the meanest person alive he still
raised his hand and waved at me it's like the midwest like neighbor charm where like everybody's
waving at each other everybody's saying hello everybody's giving a smile everybody's holding
the door when someone doesn't hold the door for me i'm like bitch what the fuck what the fuck
and also just like a little thing to kind of like show respect show appreciation to people around
you i love a hold the door and also like i'm not really gonna judge you if you don't it's just kind
of like a huh you know i'll always at least hold the door for other people if you are rude to
customer service workers i think you should be put in jet in jail i'm just kidding i'm not pro
jail that's for sure but if you are rude to service workers i don't care i don't care how
long your food's taking i don't care how fast you need to be out of there i don't care what
you're going through there is a retail service anybody in a position of customer service you
could be a um like someone at the front desk of an office of a doctor's building even a doctor
a nurse and if you are somebody who is working with the public general public they need to be
nice to you and if they're not nice to you i'm quick to speak up about it i'm a karen but for
good reasons like if i'm in line somewhere and someone's cussing out like a a service worker
i am very quick to step in because i understand what it's like to be in that position where you
can't say anything because you might lose your job and also i'm a little confrontational in that
way i think that is it's probably my biggest pet peeve and also the biggest sign that that person
is like evil and horrible and awful if you're going on a first date i also love a first date
that's in like a public setting especially a restaurant because you want to judge their
character in about two hours see how they treat the waitress see how they tip the waitress see
how they're able to communicate see if they talk shit while you're sitting at the table all right
there's a way you can speak up for yourself that is kind compassionate caring if your food's taking
too long there's a nice way to wave down the waiter and be like hey just checking in i understand you
guys are busy but like can we make sure that order was in we're not in a rush but i'm just like
double checking with you it's okay just like let me just test the waters let me see what's going on
you know there's a way you can handle it that is mature responsible kind and compassionate
and if you are not mature responsible kind or compassionate red flag massive red flag some
people go out to experience and some people go out to be served i don't like people who need to
be served all the time because you will become a servant that's why it's a great like tester feeler
especially for a first date go out to a restaurant see how they treat wait staff what else i don't
know i really don't have a lot of pet peeves oh bad drivers and i don't mean slow drivers i mean
aggressive angry drivers people who do not treat cars as if they're 5 000 pound metal caskets as
someone who has almost died many times in car accidents that were not my fault when people are
irresponsible on the roads causing hazards drag racing down the street i don't give a fuck what
it is if you are irresponsible in a car a license should be taken away immediately i do not fuck
around with that because literally someone has almost killed me with their car and after that
I'm like I do not have space or time or energy for anybody who is going to put someone else's
life at risk especially in a vehicle I do not like that at all that is a massive massive pet
peeve angry drivers pet peeve and any sort of like unsafe driver not good not good at all that's
about it I don't know I don't care how you dress I don't care who you are how you present yourself
as long as you're kind and nice and compassionate and aware of the people around you and try and
stay as safe as possible then like love it love it fantastic it's the people who are selfish
self-centered angry upset taking their hatred on themselves out at the world that I'm like
now that's a pet peeve that's a pet peeve for me I love this some people would be like my pet peeve
as if someone's shoes don't match their outfit like what bitch that's just a weird thing to pay
attention to don't pay attention to that pay attention what matters japan recommendations i
will be in tokyo soon oh my god every single day i'm that annoying bitch that went out of the
country and goes well in japan they do this it's like yeah bitch we know i love japan loved it am
i currently looking at more flights to japan yes absolutely i would go back in a heartbeat as
somebody who like loves rules and knowing things and regulations japan was fantastic for me it
treated me so incredibly well if i'm gonna give anybody and this is outside of japan this is just
travel recommendations because i became kind of like a freak i and not in a good way i became
like an ocd hyper vigilant freak and that kind of transferred over into my vacations and vacations
are supposed to be like chill time like relax and explore and since it was a different country I was
really planning ahead and organizing the days really strictly like we got to get up we got to
do this we got to take the train here then we have an appointment here and then we got to go to dinner
here and this and that it's good for a couple days but also no matter where you're going whether it's
a different city a different state a different country for however many days you have give
one of those days absolutely nothing schedule nothing and make it an explore day you need at
least one of those days especially in a different country where there's so much you want to do
you on that intense itinerary will not be able to get everything done that day and you can kind of
transfer it to your free day well i really wanted to try this restaurant i didn't get a chance to
that's okay we have a free day i'll go there you have to be flexible and i found that free days
are the days where i discover the most fun things i get lost a little bit which is a great way to
discover more about yourself and a city around you i try new things i never would have tried
and i explore more than i ever would have in my intense itinerary i'm planning my birthday trip
and this was something that i did differently for my birthday trip coming up in june i'm going to
california yes of course cali girl hey we're going to the redwoods i cannot wait um but i'm giving
we're doing like half in la and half in the redwoods and i'm giving one day in la where it's
just explore have fun just get lost i'm giving one day in the redwoods where we just explore
have fun get lost because those are the most fun days so if i can give you any recommendation for
any sort of travel anywhere you go and especially in japan have at least one day where you can just
run and do anything and get lost and discover random things and just enjoy your time because
that's when you'll have the most fun not on those intense itinerary packed days on the days where
you have opportunity to go and do anything you want oh i love japan though it was so incredibly
fun and yes i think about going back every single day it was just so nice people there the food the
environment the things to do the landscape the temples it was just 10 out of 10 but I love you
have so much fun babe someone asked what inspired you to start a podcast that should become an
influencer well it all started when my mom bought me the influencer wooden block kit with its own
wooden block camera and led light no I'm just kidding but I was shopping for my niece and
at target the other day and i saw that and i was like now that's a brain rot central buying your
two-year-old the ages were like two to eight buying your two to eight-year-old and in wooden
block influencer kit please get them on the abcs not the influencer kit i'm begging you your baby
can't read okay it does not need a wooden camera next just kidding i did not think i would be here
did not did not think i would be here i didn't really know what i was gonna do
it definitely for how insecure and sad and horrible and awful I was to myself I did not
ever envision myself being in the public at all I always envision myself alone in the woods
painting or something which I mean still do still would love to do professionally but
I definitely hit a point where I was just like so isolated so alone so lonely that I felt like
I was the saddest girl in the world the most depressed girl in the world the most hated the
most evil the most awful girl in the world then I got admitted with everybody else who thinks that
way and I was like damn I wish someone would have told me that like getting to this point is you
know it's not normal but it happens and that's okay and you can come out of it no one ever told
me that and I was like well number one you should have told me that I wouldn't have gotten this far
deep and down and dark and held myself here for so long I probably would have gotten help faster
and so I mean I was really young at that age when it happened but I kind of had ups and downs and
ups and downs and then I got to a point where I was committed to sharing just like randomly during
COVID my growth and my just trying to bring light and inspiration to everybody's life and that is
somehow spiraled into just like talking about life talking about my experiences there's only so much
obviously you can share on TikTok because it's like I'm just having a silly little fun time here
and i really wanted to like talk more at length and kind of get a little bit more intellectual
about it and so i said fuck it i just started a podcast i really just like randomly started and
it started with me recording two and five canadians will hear the words you have cancer

hour to two hour long um notes app like if you listen to some of the og episodes which are all
up okay on spotify i think they're only on spotify the original ones everything else is everywhere
but the original ones on Spotify I think it's like first Q&A I'm recording that in my notes app
and then just like immediately uploading on Spotify so there was no rhyme or reason or
anything but people have been asking for it people wanted to kind of like hear my perspective on
things and so I started I said fuck it what once again dark place what do I have to lose let's do
it and then I just didn't stop I didn't stop I think there's something I don't really care about
the money i don't care about the notoriety i don't really i all i care about notoriety wise
is that if there is one individual that is sad or lonely or feels like the only person in the
world to be going through this they listen and they either have a laugh it brightens their day
or they realize wow what i'm going through i can get through i can grow from and i can become
everything I ever wanted because I was never told that I was never offered that I was never
encouraged to do so and I had to find it within myself to do so and that was so incredibly hard
and I mean I literally almost died from it so I really want to put the word out there with people
that it's like you can do anything you set your mind to even on your deepest darkest days there's
always light to find if you need help it is so worth getting and you know understanding your
mental health understanding your emotions is a strength understanding yourself is a strength
there's always more to learn and to grow and to change and to do and there's always an opportunity
to become everything you've ever wanted I don't know why I was never told that ever in my life
but I needed to hear that and I didn't so every opportunity I can have to put that out there to
the universe or even if I just have one person hear that then my day is made that's all I care
about I feel like people get into the influencer realm the social media the podcast realm to like
I don't know it's like an ego thing they want they want eyes on them they want the fame for the ego
to feed their to feed their ego to feed like that negative part of their soul and it's like
I don't really care about that it really is just like I want people to be their best selves and if
that means me getting on this podcast and talking about your bush cut and also like how to get from
rock bottom to a good place then I'm happy to do so as long as I can make you laugh or you know
give you something to look forward to then I have done my due diligence so yeah it's kind of how I
