Kat and Moose Podcast
Goodness Graces and a Love/Hate List
Ever felt like the weight of the world is resting on your shoulders, especially when current events leave you feeling helpless? Join Kat and Moose as we unpack the unsettling results of a recent election and its impact on marginalized groups, including women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. While Producer Sara is off exploring Australia, we grapple with feelings of despondency, emphasizing the necessity of mental health care and mindful media consumption. Our conversation evolves into a call for empowerment, urging listeners to find their own voice and advocate for change. We dive deep into how perspective can be the key to moving forward, even when the world seems to be at odds with progress.
Switching gears, we recount a memorable birthday celebration at Emmy Squared Pizza in Nashville that sparked a profound discussion on personal growth and self-acceptance. We share stories about battling inner critics, overcoming self-doubt, and embracing our unique awesomeness. This episode uncovers how past traumas and limiting beliefs can hinder our journey towards a liberated life. By recognizing our natural abilities and steering clear of harmful comparisons, we champion the power of self-acceptance and individuality. With heartwarming anecdotes and candid reflections, we offer a roadmap for leading a more fulfilling and authentic life, reminding you that everyone's path is unique, and that's where the beauty lies.

Welcome to the Cat and Moose podcast. I'm Cat.
Speaker 2:And I'm Moose. This is a true life podcast where we explore the quirks of being human. Hey Cat, hey Moose Sarah's not here. She's in the lovely country of Australia.
Speaker 1:And I'm just noticing a pattern.
Speaker 2:Well, I would agree if it wasn't her job, if she's just in different countries, running away from us, right?
Speaker 1:Which, as far as we know, that may be what's happening.
Speaker 2:She did leave right before the election.
Speaker 1:To a country with a socialist economy.
Speaker 2:Oh man she was sending me pictures of she's already in love with Brisbane. Is she in Brisbane or Melbourne? I don't know One of them. No, I think Brisbane it she in Brisbane or Melbourne? I don't know One of them. No, I think Brisbane it's Melbourne.
Speaker 1:I just want to know if she's met Kathy. No, she's not gotten to.
Speaker 2:Sydney yet. Oh, okay, but she really wants to see Kathy. That would be cool man.
Speaker 1:I hope that they get to meet so bad and I hope that, kathy, if you're still listening God love you, man, and I hope that, kathy, if you're still listening.
Speaker 2:God love you, man. So last week we recorded an episode. If you're a patron, you received that episode and maybe you made your way through it. We don't know. If you're not a patron, we didn't release that episode. So, as you can imagine, it's been a week and a half or two. I can't even keep up anymore. Um, but the election happened, yeah, is there anything you want to say about?
Speaker 1:that I mean, there's so much I want to say about it and yet nothing I want to say about it, you know.
Speaker 2:I feel the same way. I put up my Christmas tree this week, this week, uh, just because I needed something happy in my life. I am unhappy with the results. I'll go ahead and say that that is not who I voted for. Yes, I am as well, and uh, yeah, I mean I. I'll just let's just get it out of the way real quick and feel free to skip if you do not want to hear this, yeah, skip it.
Speaker 1:If you hate politics stuff, just forward, forward, forward forward.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Right. So just real quick. Let's do a quick recap. I want to say this I feel like I'm skipping from one cult to another in my life. You know, now we're under the leadership of this Hoo ha. Um, well, let me say this Uh, it's sobering for me to think that this is America.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, uh, and I I won't make a whole lot of judgment, I won't do a whole lot of name calling at all because, um, you know, I've got friends who voted for trump, I've got uh it's so hard for me to even talk about, but, um, I guess for me the hardest thing is that, uh, people I love, who uh are female, who are people of color, who are people, people a part of the LGBTQ plus community, it breaks my heart that, for them mostly, that like, here we are again.
Speaker 1:That's what I want to say and what do you think? I'm curious, like, what you think of of those groups of people that you just mentioned, like why, why, in your opinion, is it worse for them than everybody else?
Speaker 2:Well, because he Trump does not prioritize at all the rights of women.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:The rights of people of color Right or the rights of LGBTQ plus people. So I mean, in an instant, we could see equality of marriage go away. I mean, right now, california, hawaii and one other state codified it I think I don't even know if that's the right language but that it would have to stay in those states. That was a part of the ballot already. Which is smart of them. Which is smart of them, um, and yeah, I just I worry because, especially people who live in the South, like it's a, it feels harder here. I will say that, um, it feels more oppressive in some ways and, um, when you see your state turn red year after year after year, I do think it is uh, it can be exhausting and we have to take care of our mental health and we have to decide what we watch and we don't watch and what we consume. Um, here's where I've landed. You can tune in now. This is the positive part. Here's where I've landed.
Speaker 1:You need a chapter marker right here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, put a chapter marker. Hey, ai, put a chapter marker right here, right here. Um, so where I've landed is what can I control at this point? Because I, I'm going to keep grieving. However I need to grieve, I'm going to process it, whatever. But here's the positive piece is what is it that I can do to resist or to progress myself in a way that, um, that feels like resistance, because I, you know, I'm naturally somebody who wants to fight back.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:The name of my company has the word boxer in it.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like I like to fight and so um. So I'm I'm sort of meditating on that, like what does it look like for?
Speaker 1:me to. How do I become so incredibly vocal in a loving way, you know and also become an advocate in my own life, like that's really what I can control? I love that. I think that that's really, um, that's great perspective. And you know, me and and I mean all of us are like this. All of us meaning you, me and producer Sarah I'm talking about the three of us that are the cat and moose podcast Um, we all enjoy perspective, like we enjoy kind of going.
Speaker 1:Huh, I didn't think of it that way. Um, and, and that's what I've been searching for the most, you know, is like what is the what is, what is perspective that I can take into consideration? And one of the things that I've really appreciated is I have several people in my life who have said you know, I'm really sad about this, I'm worried about our country, et cetera, et cetera. And I have people in my family and I have people in my friend circle who voted Republican and I just need some perspective from them. You know, and, and I really, and I feel similarly, you know, and I've got family members that I'm I'm close with that I can say we don't, we know, we don't agree, so let's, let's start the conversation there. So this is not a fight, it's not an argument and we don't need to get fired up about it. Just give me your perspective, because I, we just don't see eye to eye on this, you know, and it's like that's. That's what I keep trying to gain is is. I just want to gain some perspective. And also, it's kind of funny that you say like I'm going to just focus on what I can control, because that's been the narrative of everybody I've talked to, regardless of which side everybody I've talked to, regardless of which side you know, of the you know political space they stand. It's like I, the only thing I can control is me, you know.
Speaker 1:And so it's like the thing that I've considered is I'm like well, there's a lot of people in my circle who have kind of talked about dabbling with this healing arts thing. Like maybe I'll come, get on your table, like maybe I'll book a session, like maybe I can try out this body work thing. Whether it's with me or with another practitioner, I really don't care. It's like if this is one more like avenue toward people being able to go, I'm vulnerable, I don't know what to do, I'm freaked out. It's like okay, then that's somewhere to start your healing journey, you know, and if that has to, whether it has to do with politics or whatever it is, it's like okay, like let's start somewhere, you know. And so to me it's like I feel like might there be an even greater opportunity for healing in this next season of time for us and for our country? And and what does that look like? You know, and I have, how can we know? We have no idea. We can't predict the future. We certainly couldn't predict the election.
Speaker 2:No, we could not. It's funny Cause the day of like I felt so confident, not like cocky, I just had peace.
Speaker 1:I was like.
Speaker 2:Oh, this is going to be all right. Like we're going to finally have a woman who is president, which is listen, if you do not choose to identify as female. I don't think you can understand that, Just like I can't understand what it was like when we had the first black president, you know, but like there is a child inside of me. That was like this is going to be it. Yeah, and I thought, I honestly thought a woman of character, a woman who feels joyful, not just like this, you know, stoic like I was, like Kamala, is the perfect person for this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean her Saturday night live skit with Maya Rudolph was just so endearing, you know it's like she can laugh at herself Like that's cool.
Speaker 2:It's great, I know, I just I loved her and and that she's a woman of color that you know. Just so much of it. I was like here we go, and then, when it didn't happen, it it I'll tell you what it felt like. And this is going deep. And look, this is what we got today. It felt like there was a time my dad was supposed to come pick me and my sister up and I sat by the window the entire day and my mom started realizing he may not be coming and I thought, oh, no, no, no, no, and I was making up excuse after excuse, like kind of like, as I were seeing all of the red States coming in and and Trump winning, I was like, oh, oh, it's okay, we still have a shot over here in the sunbelt. And you know, yeah, yeah, but it felt like my dad never came to pick me up, like it was like that same guttural feeling of like something must be wrong here. Yeah, yeah, why would America let me down?
Speaker 1:Right, right, it's, it's. It's weird, like hearing you say that. It made me remember the moment that I learned that my dad had passed away, and how that felt in my body. I mean, it is like my entire, like my entire system like just hit the floor, yeah, you know. And then it's like, because my system is so resilient and my body is so for me like I picked my shit up and got it together as quick as possible, but it's like that feeling of like, yeah, it's just like whoa.
Speaker 1:And I remember, you know, talking with friends about, oh, the red mirage. This always happens Like at the beginning of the. You know talking with friends about, oh, the red mirage. This always happens Like at the beginning of the. You know the counts coming in. It looks like, oh, it's going to be overwhelmingly Republican and then it's going to that's, that's just a mirage, it's just going to go away. And it kept happening like it kept. I was like this is not a mirage anymore, like there's actually a lake in the desert. I think Like actually a lake in the desert. I think Like, I think that's what's happening here and, um, you know what? I hope that there are some great changes. You know, it's like I've heard things like you know who's going to be put in charge of the FDA and who's going to be put in charge of cleaning house in the government and stuff like that, and it's like maybe some good stuff is going to happen. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, and that's where we you're right. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. And look, I don't think there's much around Trump that is positive. However, there may be really good people in that administration. I mean, I can't think of many of them, but I'm sure there are people who still want to be civil servants. Sure, there are people who still want to be civil servants.
Speaker 2:And let me just say I want to say this I am not some staunch Democrat. If there was a different respectable Republican running, I would be like, oh, we lost, okay, let's figure it out. But it is because he is such an angry, you know scary, fear mongering man and that he's been convicted of clearly sexually assaulting a woman, if not others, and it's things like that. It's like I'm not somebody. That's just like I didn't win, like no, I'm afraid of this guy, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But back to what you said, kat, I want to. I want to mention something Cause you talked about like I've seen so many like group Zooms of like counselors putting out like let's talk about it. If you're struggling and and I I think it's important to recognize the grief that some of us have and to process it, and I think someone like you as a healing arts professional, um is someone that can do that for us and, and you know, I just want to say, even if you're uncomfortable or don't understand all the ginseng dough stuff Kat does, she also does massage. Even if you're uncomfortable or don't understand all the ginseng dough stuff Kat does, she also does massage and if you're in Nashville you should go see her.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you for that that plug there. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2:So we celebrated your birthday this weekend. On Friday, we went out to ME squared pizza in Germantown, and Germantown, in nashville, if you're not familiar, is like this cool old part of town with like it almost feels brooklyn-y to me. Yeah, it does, yeah, yeah, um. And so we went over there. Super cool vibes on the inside, even though it's a pizza place. It's a pizza place. It's like high end pizza, y'all Delicious.
Speaker 2:And we sat at the surfboard table and we got amazing group of people by the way, a bunch of friends of yours and I enjoyed where I sat and I asked for what I needed, even though it was your birthday, for what I needed, even though it was your birthday. I was like, can you keep me safe from people? And you were like, yes, and I love that. I don't have to expand on that. You just knew what that meant. But one of the things that we ended up talking about as we were asking you what you were looking forward to in this next year and I want you to expand on that too but, um, was what does it look like to ask our friends what is one way you would like to see me grow? And so we went around the table and said that for you. Um, do you remember any of the answers?
Speaker 1:Oh, my gosh?
Speaker 1:Of course I do.
Speaker 1:I've, I've taken them to heart and and, uh, one of our friends challenged me with um and I'm not going to say it verbatim, cause I'm terrible at saying things verbatim Um, which I just did the exact opposite thing that she challenged me to do.
Speaker 1:Um, was, was, was to kind of claim my awesomeness, to claim what I'm good at, to claim how I speak about myself, you know, and um, and so I was talking to her just yesterday and I I gave myself a compliment at what a skilled communicator I can be at times, absolutely, and, and it like it just felt different in my whole body to say that and and not fear, like you know, I'm going to get shot up, you know, like I'm going to. It's like that's a lie, you stupid whore. You know, it's like it felt really different in my whole body to say like, like, yeah, there, there are times at which I can really be a really skilled communicator and it's like so much so that I'll have a weekly podcast, so much so that I talk to people for a living, like, like that's yay, cat, you know. And so, yes, I do remember all of the things that that I was encouraged to do and I really have taken them all to heart. I really have.
Speaker 2:Good, good. So here's my question what is keeping you from being that bad-ass self Like? What are you afraid is going to happen if you were to step into that?
Speaker 1:I don't feel like I'm afraid of. And I remember I was a part of a competition in college and it had this like on stage interview question and they were like, what's your biggest fear? And I said my biggest fear is success. And everybody was like, oh, that's such a great answer, you know, and if you would have asked me then, why is that your biggest fear? I would have been like I don't know, it just sounds scary. So I'm glad there wasn't a follow-up question. It's like I sounded really smart and then was done, you know, and so I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't think that that's my fear anymore. It's not. It's not a fear of of doing well or being successful or stepping into my bad ass self. It's like I'm just so aware of my shortcomings that they're still struggling to be the loudest thing in my head. You know, it's like they're the my shortcomings are just so loud. To me it's really. It's not about being afraid of being a badass. It's more about like quieting that inner critic and and training up that inner mentor. You know, it's like it's to me it's. It's a it's. It's letting go of old habits, of old narratives, and that's hard work. Yeah, I'm not afraid.
Speaker 2:What, like you said, you're so aware of your shortcomings? I'm totally doing a coaching session. What? Give me an example? What's the first one that comes to mind? Um, I need to lose weight. Oh, I'm only laughing because I'm like, oh, I got that girl in my head too. Okay, so losing weight like that is keeping you from what?
Speaker 1:buying anything new for myself to wear in the past seven years and what does that have to do with who you? Are. I feel like I don't look professional at my job.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, I have stumped the coach this is me stepping out of the coach's role and going come back, come back, come back.
Speaker 2:Interesting, isn't it interesting? Like, here's the thing, y'all, it's all in our head. I recognized yesterday that I've been really working on like limiting beliefs like this and I finally went. What is the limiting belief that is controlling my anxiety? And what was it? Well, if Sarah's driving and I'm in the car, I am constantly using the brake or sliding out of my seat going, and I realized I have a lot of trauma, definitely around car wrecks I've been in many, so there's that, but also I can loosen that and I can get out what is going on. And the entire limiting belief is bad things are going to happen to me and I believe that because they have. But that is a really sad way to live your life.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because my filter is always I can't do that because something's going to happen, which is true Even if I have to drive to East Nashville at eight o'clock at night. That sounds like okay, this is the end, yeah, and at dark, you know end, yeah, and. And at dark, you know, like I, I'm afraid to go out at dark sometimes because I'm afraid something bad's going to happen, which is so crazy. So all that to say what is your limiting belief around you? You stepping into, like I am excellent at what I do, whether that's music industry or healing arts.
Speaker 1:Um, I think that I, I recognize that I am undisciplined and therefore I feel like I don't deserve to be good, Like I don't have. I don't meditate 17 minutes a day, Like I don't do my pal Dan gum every morning, Like I, they're just, it's like I'm not, I'm not super choicefully disciplined. Now, do I study? Do I immerse myself in the material? Do I, you know, go to class? Yeah, I do all kinds of great stuff. I'm not saying I just like am laying around like a blob, you know it's like, but but I just don't have, you know, I just don't have the kind of discipline where I feel like, outside of my natural abilities, I can be awesome and my natural abilities are enough, Like that's enough and then that's. It's very hard for me to believe that that's true.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm hearing two things comparison which you just have to get rid of because somebody in your life does those things that you don't do. You don't naturally want to do them, or you would do them. What you enjoy is reading and studying, and that may be the part of the journey that you're on. Yeah, where they're part of the journey is I've done that and now I need to go physically move my body around in the morning. Yeah, so fix that.
Speaker 1:This is a great coaching session. This is not how I coach. If you, if you, would like to be coached, I mean, this is how I coach you.
Speaker 2:This is how I coach. Yeah, both of our licenses are gone right now. And then uh.
Speaker 2:and then, secondly, I'm hearing you say's just I mean not to burst your bubble, but it's just a good old case of, uh, imposter syndrome yeah yeah, and it's like you can't change imposter syndrome until you just do it right, right, and I'm in it too, like I have it as well, where I'm in it too, like I have it as well, where I'm like what is keeping me from just fully diving into this, that or that, whatever? And it's because I'm like it's never going to work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and as you're talking about it, like I'm thinking that what is my fear Like kind of you're getting in the car example, you know, and it's my fear, is somebody's going to hurt me, like somebody's going to hurt me If I say if I say, like you know what, I am the best artist manager in the world, like somebody very quickly can come and point out all the ways where that is not true.
Speaker 1:You know, if I'm to say like I'm the best you know body work practitioner in the world, I feel like I can imagine a line of people telling me why that's not true, you know, and that feels hurtful. It's like I don't, I don't want anybody to hurt me, so it's kind of it seems easier to kind of float around an average land than it does to be like you know, like it Right, and I can point out moments in my life where that has been true. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:And I? I think another way to look at it could be like I'm not just I'm the best, but I am the best at as an artist manager. Like what is your thing Cause? Like, here's the reality. Who the hell knows what that means?
Speaker 1:I mean, are we, are you?
Speaker 2:are you back in a pageant again, are you?
Speaker 1:at your beauty pageant.
Speaker 2:You're like somebody. I'm in my bikini girl, and I need somebody to look and say I want that. Like, no, like, what are you the best at in that role? Cause, who the hell wants to just be the best? Like, right, right.
Speaker 1:To me that is very empty.
Speaker 2:It's like, oh good, I got a trophy and we can move on, but like, that's good, I I could tell you a million things that you're the best. I think you're a really great listener at both jobs that you have. I think that you I texted you that the other day, Sarah and I were talking about it and we were we literally went through all of our close friends and listed what we loved about them.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's fun.
Speaker 2:That sounds like a really really it was only two or three.
Speaker 1:Hey, I'm just glad I was on the list, Uh but yeah, maybe it's not.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's like because here's the thing and this goes back to my hundred days of being myself Like, what are you uniquely good at, and more than even good at, because sometimes you know I was a great leader but I did not want to be first chair, clarinetist, right Like, what do you want to keep doing is really the question, because you can get part, you can be hard on yourself all day about. Well, I'm not disciplined enough and I do the same thing, like, but maybe there's a reason I'm not disciplined enough and I do the same thing like but maybe there's a reason I'm not disciplined in that maybe I'm not really enjoying that piece of it, but what is it that I'm naturally gravitating towards all the time? Yeah, that interests me.
Speaker 1:That's where you got to spend your time and love and heart yeah, because, like, I think of, I think of my, both of my jobs and I can think of like well, but I'm not good at this, I'm not good at this, I'm not good at that, I'm not good at that.
Speaker 1:And the thing that I have to remind myself from my like seven habits of highly effective people training when I was 21 years old, you know is is is basically like spend 80% of your time working in your gifts, working in your skillset, and 20% of your time delegating your weaknesses, Like I remember that being a principle that I was taught somewhere in there. Um and and and. What I do is I obsess over what I'm not good at, and what I could really do is take that time that I'm obsessing and figure out how to delegate it or how to hire it out. I mean, it's like it's the things that I'm not good at in my job. It's like I know people who are good at them. It's like just ask them to do the job and pay them money, Like that's not complicated, but for some reason, I'm just over here like I'm really bad at that. I'm really bad at that.
Speaker 2:I'm really bad at that. I'm really bad at that. I'm really bad at that. It's like what in the world? That's what. That's the grid that we have, that's the pathway we've created over all of these years, right is? I know I'm not good at that. Well, I, I'm starting to let go of that shit, man. I'm starting to go like you know what. There's a reason. Am I gonna spend a hundred years beating myself up at like I don't like doing?
Speaker 2:I was in a coaching session last week and I said to someone they said, oh my gosh, I'm hiring an assistant. And I said what do you hate doing? And they said, well, that's an odd question. And I said, no, that's what you're going to give your assistant. Yeah, and now, granted, it should be more nuanced than that to make sure that they don't also hate doing that. But but that is such as much as that. That's usually how we find out what we love doing, because, like, everyone should pull your car over and make a list of five things you hate doing anywhere in your life. Like honestly, and and don't ever do it again. Like, for me, I hate cleaning and I, for four years, have cleaned this house and I finally was like Nope, I'm hiring someone, I'm totally hiring someone.
Speaker 1:Good for you. Doesn't it feel so amazing to have someone clean your house?
Speaker 2:Yes, I had it at my old house and I don't know why I stopped doing it.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, like to me, that is some of the most well-spent money. I will stand by that. Like I to me. I used to. I remember I used to spend every Saturday, eight hours a day cleaning my house and I remember the moment I had the realization, like time is money and this is not how I want to be spending my time. That's right. And ever since then I have hired someone to clean my house and it gives me so much life. Right, like so much life.
Speaker 2:Well, it's just just it's such good, such a good thing for your mental health to have a clean house. Sure, yeah, yeah, what's? Something you hate?
Speaker 1:doing Anything having to do with money.
Speaker 1:Right, and you don't you choose not to do it. I don't, I don't, I, I, I yes, you're right, I have effectively solved that, navigated that. Yeah, because I really don't have to deal with it. And when I do have to deal with it, I immediately pull in an expert. Yeah, like, whether it's with my finances or with my clients finances or whatever it is, it's like I don't do it by myself because I hate it. I hate it and I am capable of it. I know how to do it. I don't, I just don't want to. I hate it and I am capable of it. I know how to do it. I don't, I just don't want to.
Speaker 2:I hate it, yeah there's certain events that I hate going to like and, uh, I have gotten to a place where I'm getting better at saying no to them. But some of those you have to say yes to because it's your job. But, man, it's hard for me sometimes to be like this show starts at 9 pm and you want me to show up there?
Speaker 1:uh- huh right, I'm normally going to bed at that time honestly.
Speaker 2:I mean I said to you on your birthday I was like I don't even know who you are a 7 pm dinner like we're we're. We went to Sperry's the other day and I think we had a 4 30 reservation.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, it was 4 45 oh my god.

Speaker 1:So, moose you, you threatened I'm going to say threatened to you had some pretty big things that you wanted to bring up this week, and I know coaching me was not one of them.
Speaker 2:Oh well, let me look at my list. Do you know what's on my?
Speaker 1:list. I know that there were a few things that you were extremely passionate about, that you Did I tell you what they were?
Speaker 2:No, oh, I didn't.
Speaker 1:No, you never do. That's like the ilk of our podcast is. We never know what each other's going to talk about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I know I wanted to talk about me at recognizing that limiting belief. I did read this article. I'm going to share this with our patrons. I read this article that was really impactful to me on BuzzFeed. It was about this woman who became a pastor in the Episcopal church and then she kind of lost her faith and sort of came back around to it at the end in a different way and um. So I was going to talk about that, but I'll put it in our Patreon um feed. Also, if you're a patron or you have thought about joining, we are going to be doing a few extra things. I'm going to be sharing some more content around my hundred days of being myself. Kat's going to be sharing some things around body work. We're going to be kind of feeding more into that and my question is would you guys like us to stay on Patreon or do you want something like a sub stack or something like that? Tell us, um, you know how to tell us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tell us all the ways.
Speaker 2:And this week you need to chat. I'm talking to you, listeners. Your challenge is to write the five things that you hate and the five things that you love doing yeah, the things that you naturally are like I have some extra time right now, what do I want to do? That's always hard for me, is it you, kat, when I have extra time, yeah, to like go. Okay, I literally don't have to be doing work or something right now. Is it hard for you to like go? What do I want to go do right now, or do you?
Speaker 1:naturally like flow into something. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes it's hard because there's so many things I want to do and I can't decide which one. I don't find myself at a loss for knowing what I would enjoy doing, Like I don't. I don't find myself at that at that loss very much, and if I do, I normally go to sleep. Oh, interesting, Like, if I'm like I don't know what to do with myself, it's like you probably need to rest because there's a lot that I love to do. And if I can't come up with it.
Speaker 2:I'm probably pretty tired. That's amazing. I wish I could just go nap like that.
Speaker 1:Um, what about you?
Speaker 2:Um, I, I generally come in my office and write is what I usually do, and right now it's been about the 100 days of being myself, and or I go grab a book off my bookshelf and flip through it Like I generally am looking for inspiration or challenge, and then I usually write about I'm looking for, like a prompt or something.
Speaker 1:Nice, I love that. Write about I'm looking for like a prompt or something. Nice, I love that. I love um. It reminds me of a couple of episodes ago when you um gave chat GBT the words from your books and then had it like talk about like what your interests were Like. I thought that was so neat.
Speaker 2:Oh I, I probably overused chat GBT. I had it build me a road trip recently and it was brilliant Really, stuff I hadn't even thought of. I was like build me a road, it's all in my brain. I'm not sure I'm actually going to go do this. I was like send me on a road trip for 10 days to all the areas that have like beautiful Christmas towns.
