Elizabeth: 0:06

Hey, hey, hey. Welcome back to another episode of The In-Between. I'm your host, Elizabeth Cheney. I know it's been a hot minute since we last spoke, and I know I spoke a big game about guests and having all these episodes recorded and we're gonna catch up on all the things that my life has been, what is my life for the past month, month or so. Um, but I was thinking so much has happened. It felt weird to just get right into releasing the episodes with the guests and they're very good, don't get me wrong. They're very good, but really, I just wanted a chance to connect with you all. Say, Hey, I'm still alive, we're still here, and we are getting back on this rollercoaster baby. And yeah, I have a lot of content coming up, but really just wanna say thank you for sticking it out with me. I know I have not been the best in terms of, I don't know, releasing content in episodes. I've been living life, that's for sure. Gone through so much change. Yeah, it's crazy. I don't even know. What I said on the last podcast, other than I'm gonna Greece, not sure if I updated you guys on the house front and all that and if I did, okay. Whoops. Sorry. But we're gonna get into it. But I just wanna say my life is still not quite settled. I am definitely navigating so many in-betweens that but I'm happy to be back, that's for sure. I am still me, as cheesy as that may sound. Do I feel different change grown since I came back from Europe? Yes, because that's what travel does to you, especially traveling to a different country where there's different culture outside of what you may know. So all that said and done. Let's get into what the hell has been going on in my life. So if this is new or if I did talk about it on the last episode, well, here we go. Here's a refresher. I sold the house. Everyone thought I was crazy trying to do all of this before I left for Greece, but I was like, ha, trust me. I'm gonna make this happen. I'm gonna manifest this shit. And guess what it did? It did literally due diligence ended like the Wednesday before I left for Greece. Processed all that. Once I got back from Greece, we closed the following Friday, so I had like a week left. Nuts. Crazy. God bless my mother for all the help that she did. She really came through and helped me pack up so much stuff while I was gone, and also helped me navigate that last week, which was crazy because, you know, not only do I come back to the country and I'm hit with instant crippling anxiety of all of my responsibilities flooding my brain and what I have to do. On top of that, I have to move a house. At least half a house. I moved half of it already into storage, hired movers all the bit, got it done, but it's great. The house is sold. That responsibility is no longer on my shoulders. Oh, very happy about that. But. Yeah, now I'm living that nomad life, so that's in between number one. I'm living as what I like to call a nomad. I'm using my mom's address as my permanent address, which is great. Love being 34, and I'm like, I live with my mom and bonus points, my nana lives with her too, so we are three generations under the same roof. But guess what? I actually don't hate that. I mean I do in terms of organization, in terms of my stuff, I basically moved my whole house into half of my nana's guest room, so that's cool. Um, lemme tell you something old people have a lot of shit. I was like, does, does she need this vacuum from 19, I don't know, 79? It's gotta be from that decade, maybe the eighties. I'll give you that. And my mom's like, well, you know, she doesn't use it, but she doesn't wanna get rid of it. And that is everything in my grandmother's house, uh, because my mother sold her house'cause my nana broke her back. Not sure if I've ever talked about this. And my nana is self-sufficient. For the most part, but my mom sold her house thinking I'm gonna go help her, kind of watch over her. It's closer to my job, and then I'll get a house, apartment, town, home, wherever you put roots in. And then wop, wop. We saw what happened with that. So yes, for all intents and purposes, we live at my grandmother's house and as much as I'm joking about it, as much as I'm like, huh, there's a lot of shit in that house, let me tell you, it is clean. All the shit is organized, and I know that this period of my life will not be for very long, and I know that I am gonna reflect on this time the fact that it's me, my mother, and my nana. You know, my mother was a single mother, so my nana, my pop helped take care of me. But having the experience to live under the same roof as much as it has challenges, it is also rewarding and. I don't know. I, I think I'm gonna reflect on this time very fondly. I not even think, I know I'm going to, I've already laughed so much. Uh, my nana is so feisty, and I'm very grateful that. I have the opportunity to kind of get my bearings in a very safe environment. But on top of that, I am bebopping with friends. Um, you can see this beautiful setup is my friend Talia's. I am dog sitting for her right now. So things like that. Going to my girl Ashley, Anna's house, going to my friend Jazz's House, who's gonna be a guest here soon. You'll see her episode here shortly., But just hanging out with friends Bee bopping around here. So even though I'm with my mom and nana, I'm not there the whole week, so my life is a little hectic. But you know what? I can now finally catch up on all the podcasts that I have not listened to. So that is very fine. Very exciting. So living the nomad life, that is a major in-between so far. It hasn't really hurt my dating life, but also my dating life is kind of just on hold. So of course it's not really affecting it, but that's okay. That's okay. Plus it's kind of like, oh, well, you know, can we go to your place?'cause we can't go to mine. That's for sure. but that's okay. That's okay. And talking about when am I gonna get a new place? Where am I gonna move All of this. I toyed with the idea of New York. That's really dependent on my job. I think I may still do like Airbnb in September. Go there, visit. Check it out. I also really wanna do Chicago, so that's got my eyesight on September. So if I do that, then I'm probably not gonna get a place until. End of September, maybe even October. I'm not quite sure I say that, but I also can tell you that it's been two weeks and this nomad life has been a little stressful. I can feel its effects, let's just say that. Uh, fun fact. I've gained some weight over the past two months. Not that that's a fun fact that you really care about, but for me, I'm like, wait, why do my pants fit tighter? And apparently. Being stressed, not working out as much, and drinking wine almost every day in Europe. If not every day, we'll do that to you. I know I look great. I'm not even bitching about that. I'm just saying, wow, get it together, girlfriend. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to eat all those cookies, but you know, no regrets. No regrets. Do I feel like I'm addicted to sugar? I have no idea. Am I solo monologuing right now? I think so a little bit. But then I say solo monologuing and monologuing is solo anyways, so she's still quirky. She's still weird and she's still is all over the place. But maybe that's just part of me, part of my personality. I don't know. I can handle chaos. I can handle balls up in the air. But, I would like some stability, that's for sure. And that's part of why I am just coasting right now. I'm hanging out with a friend\ the first week of August. Then I'm dog sitting for another friend. The second week of August. I've got a bunch of things planned, and then I was thinking about going to New York at the end of August, but now I'm like. Maybe that's September. I don't know. I don't know. I am literally free falling. I feel like I have no plan, but at the same time, I have a loose plan.'cause I still have my goals and ambitions and dreams and all of that fun stuff. That's why I'm recording the episode. I'm getting back with the podcast, getting back into content creation because apparently, fun fact, you do not grow if you do not produce any content. So, Hmm. Gotta figure that one out. But you know, I come back from Greece feeling very inspired, very excited for my future'cause the future is mine. Literally. I can do whatever I want. No responsibility for anybody but myself. Of course there's my mother and then also my grandmother and helping, making sure she doesn't get scammed because that's a whole thing. Yeah. I spent my whole day yesterday afternoon basically dealing with her because she got scammed. She got hacked. Ugh. These people who prey out older people. Oh, it's so shitty. But also Nana, Microsoft Edge is an internet browser. So why did you think you had to buy that? That's okay. That is okay. We live, we learn we love. That's what we do here. We live, we learn, we love. Ooh, that might be a new slogan. I love that. so I gotta watch Anne. I gotta watch my nana. Her name's Anne. I don't know why just said that. Like expecting you all to know who Anne is. But I gotta watch her, make sure she's not clicking all the fricking emails. She gets all the weird things that say, click here, and it's like blinky letters and it looks like it's a maiden clip art. And I'm like, that is not a sophisticated email. Why are you clicking it? So I'm going to give her phishing training. Kudos to my company who does lots of phishing training for us. So I can show her, Hey, this is what you gotta do. You gotta hover over the link. Does that link look sketchy? Were you expecting this email even more important? And then look at the two from, you know, all that jazz. So yeah, gotta watch out for these old folk out here gonna get bamboozled and we can't have that. But poor thing, how to go to the bank, change her bank account numbers, all this crazy stuff. I mean, literally it was my entire afternoon, so. While I'm in, Casa Dela nana, if that's even the right way to say that, I'm just gonna chill and monitor her. But it's been fun and like I said, not sure how long I can manage the nomad life, but at least the first half of August I have plans and somewhere to stay. So that's that. That is that. So talking about Europe coming back changed, you know, gosh, I was there for two weeks. Started it off in Italy and then met up with, I met up with Ashley there and then met up with two other girlfriends and I could just deep dive into the whole trip. But some things that happen in Greece, stay in Greece. Let's just say that, that can have so many. Innuendo, but you don't know what they are. Maybe it's all of them. Maybe it's one or two. Maybe it's none of the above. Let your imagination go wild with that one. But it was great. The food was great, the wine was great and you know, if I can be completely honest, I definitely drank wine every day while I was there. But who, who cares? It's Europe baby. It's Europe and you're with three other girlfriends. It, I don't know. It was just amazing. You know, I was thinking, gosh, like traveling with your girlfriend, especially when you're all single is, is really, I'm just very, I'm really blessed and grateful that I got that experience.'cause who knows, this could be my, you know, only summer that I get to be single. I mean, I hope so because like I am a little bit older and I do want a family eventually, so the universe to get on that. Uh, but we're not rushing. We're just having fun. We're rediscovering ourselves. That's another in between, we'll talk about here momentarily. Back to Europe, back to Europe. I digress. There's just like so much talk about, I'm like. The ideas are like, like coming through, coming out, coming in, and I'm just like, woo, calm down. I might, should have. I might, should have. That's a beautiful, beautiful sentence there, Liz. I might, should have, uh, written down basically what I wanted to talk about, but I was like, I wanna talk about everything. I got this. So that's why this episode is a little over the place. Uh, plus it's been so long since I recorded an episode. All of the equipment that I use, like the program has been updated and different, and I just like jumped right into this and I was like, wait, whoa, this is all different. So we had some technical issues too, so we're a little flushed, but that's okay because we are here and that's exciting. So back to Europe. having the opportunity to go with girlfriends, it was so much fun. We had quite the adventures and if you know anything about me, I am one for an adventure. Uh, I think I list that in almost every dating profile that I have. Not that there's that many. I mean, it's just two I bumble and hinge. If you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them, but. adventuring in Europe, getting into the silliest situations, laughing so hard, just experiencing a whole new culture with three people that you really love and care about and you're all in the same kind of place in life. It, it was just, it was a lot of fun. It was great. And I was talking to somebody that I, I work with and I was like, you know, I think I like girl trips way more than like a romantic trip. And then the, the response was, yeah, maybe, or you just need a better romantic partner. And I was like, mm. Got him. Uh, just kidding. We're not gonna talk shit about our ex here. but they're not wrong. However, I do think there is a there's something special about traveling with your friends. So if you haven't done that already, I highly recommend and if you do have the opportunity to go to Europe, especially with your friends, I highly recommend. But your lover will do too. I'm sure it's wonderful, but we, I don't know. We made friends. I mean, I still talk to people that I met in Norway, so of course I made friends in Greece. Um, I'd love to go back, but there's a whole world to see, so we'll see what happens. I'm thinking about taking a solo trip to Europe in November, like around the Thanksgiving time, so I can kind of leverage being off from work as well. And it should be slower. But I'm not sure where yet my, my thoughts are London and Edinburgh or Munich and Berlin.'cause both should have Christmas markets and that sounds awesome. So we'll see where I land, who knows? I may not even go. I may still be living at my grandmother's house. I pray to God, not I pray to God or you know, would be an even better manifestation. My podcast takes off and I can just make content.'cause I am on my routine. I am doing the most, and uh, I'm just bebopping all over the world and I don't even need to worry about where I'm living. Just kidding. That was such a crazy. Thing to even project out there, because that would all have to happen in like two months. But never say never, never say never. So, uh, highlights with Greece. Um, Santorini beautiful, but overrated, not gonna lie. The sunsets were incredible, absolutely incredible, but a little overrated and very, very crowded. However, we had one wild night in Vera and, uh, long Live Vera. That's all I gotta say on that. Then we went to patos, which honestly was my favorite. Beach vibes. It had club bar vibes. The restaurant scene was great. The downtown was so cute and there was like lots of locals there, so it felt, you know, less touristy. We rented ATVs, rode all around the island. It was so much fun. Oh, also, there are a shit ton of cats in Greece. Like everywhere in Greece, they were in Athens, they were in Santorini, Bados. So much so that even their, their souvenirs have cats like, ah, cat grease, I don't know. But there are so many cats. Some were nice, some were not. Some were scary. Like there is something wrong with them, like disease wise, which is very sad, but also get away from me. But yeah, lots of cats. That was like the wildlife. Uh, but patos it was, it was so cool. It was so beautiful. Um, really enjoyed myself there and we definitely left our mark there as well. I ate so much good food. God, now I think about it. Just so much good food. Coming back to the States after eating delicious European food for like two weeks was one of the, one of the, oh, get you, you know what I mean? Like, hmm damn, did not miss this, but we ended our trip in Athens and I saw a lot of like, hate about Athens on the internet before we went. And, you know, I, I enjoyed myself. It was a cool city. It was vibey. It's covered in graffiti, so some people may not like that. I thought it was cool. It was kind of artistic, different, but I mean like every inch of it was almost covered in graffiti. But we got to go to the Acropolis, which was hotter than hell. Only to be exacerbated because the tour tickets that we got, the meeting point was in the completely wrong direction and we were running late. And we had to just jetty to the freaking, uh, entrance. Well, guess what? We don't know where the entrance is. And this thing is like on a hill. And all of the sidewalks in Athens are like. Marble or tile, maybe not marble, that would be very expensive, but tile. So I was slip, slop, slopping everywhere. I'm very, very, very lucky I didn't break my ankle because we all know I'm not the most, um, what's the word? Balanced. I'm a little clumsy. So that was fun. There was many times where I thought I was gonna fall and break my, break my neck, crack my head, all the above. One of those things. So we're running. It is so hot. It is so hot. Oh my God, it's so hot. I just got used to feeling wet the whole time'cause I was just sweating nonstop. But we're running, we're laughing. We're also a little hungover. At least. I was trying to get to the entrance and I mean, we literally have like a minute left and the thing says like, if you don't make your time, you're not gonna get in.'cause there's so many people that go into this thing and we're like, oh my God, are we gonna make it? Ah. Thankfully they let us in and then we're just looking at all the cool ancient Greek, uh, ruins and structures. Very cool. I loved it. It was really hot though. I'm gonna keep stressing that. Don't know if Greece is the move in June, July. Maybe more like a September vibe. Maybe October, I'm not sure, but September probably a safe bet.'cause it's probably still gonna be warm enough that you can enjoy being outside and laying out. But also maybe not so much close to the eye of hell. Not quite sure. But it was, it was a lot. It was a lot. Anyways, moving on. Really cool to see all those, uh, those structures. We also drove to this area that was like an hour plus away from Athens that we saw the Temple Poseidon. That was cool. And again, dreamy sunsets. Every place in Greece has dreamy sunsets. Obviously. It's probably where it's located on the globe. But oh my gosh. Like those sunsets, they are something like, that's the one thing I would definitely give Santorini kudos for is their sunsets. Those were something. So if you go to Greece, I highly recommend you do some sort of sunset boat tour'cause that made the experience so great. Loved it. we also rented a car in Athens and I can now say I've driven in a different country. That was exciting. they don't drive as crazy as they do in Italy. Italy, I feel like it is the wild, wild west. Buckle up and pray. That is how I felt riding along in Italy, but that's okay. Obviously we survived and I haven't even given any like, love to Italy. Uh, I got to visit a new area I haven't been to yet, the Como area, like Lake Como, and it is. Absolutely stunning. It looks like it's made out of a fairytale. I'm not even kidding. Like I was just like, I mean, I was doing this in Greece anyways too, but I was like pinching myself like, this is real. People live here. I could not imagine living somewhere so freaking beautiful. I mean, I would love to know the mental health of people that live there. Are they happy? I mean, there isn't much to do, so maybe that could be the offset you get the beauty, but also the boredom. I, I don't know, but I feel, I'd like to think. I would be very content living somewhere so beautifully, as long as I had a remote job and I was making decent money, but you know, whatever man. Good times. I'm already thinking about where can the next girls trip be. You know, I got my solo trip coming, hopefully manifesting that clearly, I guess on the podcast real time. And, uh, let's see what you go next year. I would love to go to the Middle East, but. There's a lot of things contingent on that, a lot of things outta my control. So we'll see what happens, where we land on that. Uh, but coming home was not the best. Our flight was hella delayed, so we had to end up staying the night in New York, and then we got home the fifth, like the following Saturday. But it was fine. Like I said earlier, I approached or I arrived to America with crippling anxiety of all my responsibilities flooding my brain that I had ignored for two weeks. That was not fun. Don't recommend, but such as life, you gotta get through it. You gotta buckle up, get through it. Once the jet lag kind of wore off, my anxiety kind of evened out, and then I killed myself the following week to get my house moved out and somehow. Throwing in a very, very spontaneous, experience going to see the Beyonce in the Cowboy Carter tour that was not planned. Our friend had extra tickets. Me and Ashley Annana got to go. I amazoned one day delivery, a very cute outfit and I gotta see Beyonce and it was incredible. She is so stunning. Um, I didn't get to see the Renaissance tour, which I do. I, I wish I could have seen that, but I did get to see her at Coachella, so it was my second time seeing Beyonce. A humble brag, but she was amazing. Oh my god, co wow. It was, it was cool. It was great. And, uh, I really enjoyed myself. So somehow go to Greece, come back, get my ass handed to me at work, from being out two weeks, move my house and see Cowboy Carter. Yeah, I don't know. I need to stop doing the most because I keep proving to myself I can, but I feel like my mental load is, is diminishing, is getting little and littler. So I need to, I don't know, get a little bit more balanced, a little bit more grounded at the says the girl who's in her nomad era. Huh. I'm gonna get there. I just wanna, like, I already have so much peace now that the house is sold and I don't have that gaping responsibility on my shoulders. Um, so it's baby steps. I'm hoping to rest a little bit in this in between while I'm nomad. Um, something I don't do very well, but I got some health stuff that I'm trying to figure out. Nothing like crazy. Don't worry, I'm fine. But it's like now that I have the time and the. The mental energy as I just talk shit about my mental energy being diminished. Um, I do feel like I can kinda get grounded even though life does not feel grounded at the moment, if that makes sense. I think I mentioned this earlier in the episode, I feel like I'm free falling., Again, I just wanna shout out to myself years ago, five, four or five years ago, there's no way I would be able to handle. Not just the amount of change I've been through, but not having a solid plan. I do have a loose plan. I'm getting back in the podcast, getting back at the content. I got some work stuff that I'm trying to maneuver, figure out, maybe get some certifications to kind of go in a maybe slightly different direction while I get this thing going and I have the whole rest of the year to get the speaking going, which I do plan to do that. I even got business cards. I finally got business cards. I'm proud of me, I am proud of me. So just trying to get all of my, you know, materials together so I can start really full. Sending this podcast and content creator journey slash entrepreneurial journey slash be my own boss. Create your own dream job journey while somehow not losing my mind in the process and somehow maybe finding love.'cause we're gonna keep that in there. Speaking of that, on the girls trip, we had some very deep conversations and we all know I live for that. Deep conversations are my love language 1000%. Uh, and we were just talking about love'cause we're all single and we all have somewhat different feelings about being a single and what we're looking for and what we're willing to like not settle for, that's the wrong word, but. You know, could you have a kid without a man freezing your eggs? Conversations like that, coming from different places, like we're all looking for the same thing. Like, sure, love, love, that let's us be ourselves. That's equal partnership. You know, one thing we talked about was being so independent and that's fine and all, but wanting someone that can step in and you don't have to be as independent. It's not like, oh, being taken care of. But that is part of it. But it's not the mindset of, now I don't have to worry about life. No. But just being able to share that weight, share the weight of life with like that's what I ultimately want. An equal partner one that I can depend on and vice versa. And we're talking about my journey and how I'm very much, doe-eyed with love and dating and I've definitely learned a lot. I've done, I've learned a lot in a, I don't wanna say a short period of time, but I mean it hasn't even been a year. It's been 10 months. So yeah, I've learned a lot in 10 month period of time. But also I'm the kind of girl that's gonna gung-ho and jump in. Right? And we were talking and I was like, you know, I know I didn't have the best relationship. I wasn't shown love. I didn't really get that at all. I'm not trying to talk smack, but the equal partnership, the. The in love feeling, and that's what I want. I know who I am, I know what I'm capable of. I know I can do this life by myself. I don't want that. So I'm open to love because I have another choice, but to be, I'm gonna trust that just like the universe made the house happen for me, let me sell it. I landed on my feet just like all these other incredible things that have happened that I've trusted and prayed and manifested and, and believed in. Of course love is gonna be there for me. I don't know. When doesn't mean I'm not gonna get frustrated, doesn't mean I'm not gonna have letdowns and setbacks. Or maybe not some much setbacks. Probably more letdown. But I am gonna find love. As long as you're open to it, it will find you. And we always kinda reflected on that and they were saying it's really. Cool to hear you, given what you've gone through to be so open. And I, I like to argue it's because of what I went through that makes me feel so open because I wanna know what it's like to just be over, over the moon crazy about someone and them in return. For me, I wanna know what it's like to be best friends and to go on adventures together and just get each other and have deep conversations and giggle and laugh. Maybe this is me manifesting this out loud on the podcast, what I'm looking for, but we'll see what happens. We'll see what, we'll see what happens between now and the end of the year. You never know. They always say you can meet your person tomorrow, but I'm also taking the pressure off of myself when it comes to dating, just. Because I mean, I, I, like I said, I've learned a lot in 10 a period of time. Um, and it's not that I'm not looking for anything serious. I think I'm open at this point to a more intentional connection, whether that's just a few dates or whether it's a few months or, and it leads to something more serious, I don't know. But I'm kind of feeling less of the whole hookup thing and more into the, okay, can we like talk and hang out? That'd be great. Uh, but you know. I have been exploring the Renaissance of Liz, the rediscovery of Liz. When it comes to that side of my life, that part of my life, that part of me. And, uh, lemme tell you, it is beautiful. It is beautiful to tap into your sensuality. It is beautiful to tap into what you deserve and what you want. Even the ugly parts of it, because eventually you realize, okay, well I don't wanna do that again. We're gonna change things differently this time. Ooh, I will do that again.'cause that was great. Whatever. Um, you know, because I've said this before, like. Me and my separation and being single now. I wasn't left with, well, who are you? You've lost yourself. No, I found myself, and that is why I think I was able to do what I did and bounce back so quickly. However, I've never really been able to explore my sensuality and what that is like, and, and I don't mean like necessarily sexuality, but exploring,, not even just like what you want in the bedroom per se. But you learn a lot about yourself when it comes to physical intimacy and physical connection. It's not even just about the other person. The partner I like, feel like, I feel like it's opened up my inner goddess, my. Confidence. My I am that bitch. Check please. And I think it, it's all a part of who you are. Like I don't think just, this is one area of my life is what is make or breaking and helping me find out who I am. It's all these parts. It is following your dreams, figuring out what your dreams are, your ambition, your, your motivation. What do you want outta life? What do you like to eat? What's your physical activity? What do you like to do? How do you, do you like friends? Are you more of a loner? Do you like all of that? Emotional, mental, physical, sensual? It is all a part of you and it all ranges, and that's been the most, I mean, of course, exciting, but I can reflect on the past 10 months and what I've learned about myself when it comes to that. It's crazy. I am a different person. I'm still me, but I feel more me. I, I just think, wow, I can't believe, I didn't think I needed this. I didn't need to connect with myself in this way. But man, it is like a full, well-rounded. I don't know evolvement of Liz, so to speak. So for anyone going through a separation or divorce or anything like that, I promise you as long as you're open and you remember that you are important, you matter. Life is not over that renaissance of rediscovery, post-separation, post long-term relationship breakup. It is beautiful. It is beautiful. It is exciting, and not to sound cheesy, but then again it's me, but I feel so alive. It almost makes me think, man, I was asleep for a while there despite how much I love the podcast and I putting myself out there and just sharing my life experience. I've always been a very open person. That's something that I am not gonna change. I don't care if it makes you uncomfortable. That is who I am. Go to another podcast, go to another girl. I don't give a shit. It is who I am, but this Renaissance man, oh man, I love it. I love life and I just feel not just like the world is my oyster, but. I am gonna make everything come true that I have manifested and dreamed about. So yeah, I think it's important. It is important to know and recognize the sensual side of your life, the physical side of your life, to know what you like, the intimacy, the connection. And like I said, it really, it really developed my confidence even more so than I thought. And just like I said. I'm that bitch. So sweet. I am that bitch. Oh, so yeah. So we are in between the renaissance of our life of ourselves. We are in between getting back into content creation with this newfound confidence in I'm that bitch attitude. We are in the in between of the nomad life, which I don't love, uh, exponentially. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Because another big thing, I, I can't remember if I mentioned this already, is just resting. Like, I just wanna chill. I just wanna not have to worry about anything. Other than just myself right now. Ask me how I feel in a month, and that may change, but. Until then, I am, I'm okay. So Life is crazy. I think about where I was a year ago and just how different, how different things are, not just in my circumstances, but also me, but then somehow I'm still me. That's like the cool part, you know, like I'm still me, but like just better version of me. And I feel like if you're on the right path, that's, that's the outcome you should get. So things may not be perfect, but such is life. I'm excited to be back on the podcast. Y'all are in for a treat over the next couple of weeks. I have so many wonderful episodes planned and prerecorded with special guests. So we'll get into those. but we're, we're gonna get back on this horse'cause it's time. We've lived some life, we've done some healing. living life and healing is a continuous journey, as is self-love. Actually lemme pause before I even continue. I will say this, I know self-love is a huge pillar of this podcast. When someone asks me, what is your podcast about? I always say it's one part entertainment, one part empowerment, pillar of self love. I live an authentic life. I like to share those authentic experiences. And not that I think you're going to relate to every single one of them. I do feel like being so open about. Yourself and just showcasing that authenticity can connect people and make people resonate and tap in and click in with their own life shit. So I want you to feel seen, even if you don't necessarily identify with everything I'm talking about. Okay. So self-love is huge and throughout this whole experience I've been going through since October, my self-love is what's carried me through. It's what's enabled me to to explore my inner goddess and find that fire from within. It's what's allowed me to go on adventures and not think twice about it. It's allowed me to believe in myself and believe in my dreams, even if I'm not necessarily out here chugging out content. Self-love is what carries you through the hard thing. Self-love is what carries you through the in-between. No matter what it is. Self-love is what's gonna help you find the right person that matches your energy. Matches your frequency.'cause if you can't love yourself, how can you expect someone else to? So those are the words I wanna end on today. And just hang in there. We're back, baby. I don't know what in-betweens you got going on, but I'm going through a million of them at the moment. So there is a place for everyone here. But I can handle it and so can you. And we're gonna get through it together. So welcome to the InBetween. She's back. She's back. Even if this episode was a little over the place.
