Cindy Tunstall:

Welcome back to Enjoying Life OTR, because living well is worth the effort. My name is Cindy Tunstall and I am your host Today. I gave Brian the day off. He's busy trucking, as we all are, but I wanted to just hop on today and share a little bit of behind the scenes about what's happening with the Enjoying Life OTR community. I've recently revamped the Enjoying Life OTR website, so be sure to check that out. It's our name, enjoyinglifeotrcom, pretty easy to find. I've also added a blog on there where I'm going to be highlighting some of our episodes on the podcast, the place that I'll be able to include some pictures and a place for us to comment and dialogue about the show's content. So I look forward to connecting with you there. I would appreciate it if you would subscribe and follow that journey. I'm not posting a whole lot on there and so, but I think that you're going to enjoy that. I like to see the pictures and put a face with the name of the people that we're hearing on the show, so be sure to check that out. I have highlights from last week's episode with Kyle Hutchison. I've also added show from Scott White Scooter. He and I were he was my guest on. I think it was episode 10. And I got pictures of his rig on there and he mentioned some of his equipment that he used to drive and some pictures that he shared with me, so I wanted to share this with the community. That was a fabulous episode. He's been driving for over 37 years and we talked about burnout and depression and how to recognize those things are happening and he gave really practical tools and solutions for overcoming those issues. And he was very vulnerable and raw and he's just very honest about the struggles of the OTR life and why he still loves it and how he's figured out a way to make it work for him. So be sure to check out that episode, anyway. So that's all I have for you today.

Cindy Tunstall:

I also want to remind you I have two communities in Facebook. So I have a Enjoying Life OTR Facebook page. It's actually a business page and it's public, so I can share some things in there that I can't share in the Enjoying Life OTR Facebook group. So page is public, group is private. I really like the group because you could share some things in there that aren't always shared. You know they're not going to be shared within your personal page when you post in there, but they also can't be shared outside the group. So if somebody is not a member of the Enjoying Life OTR Facebook group, they're not going to be able to see those posts or share those with other people. So you know a screenshot, there's that option. So that limitation. But Facebook does a little bit more to help keep the group private and I like that.

Cindy Tunstall:

We could share what's happening in our journey. I personally like it because sometimes I want to share about a struggle with you know, something that's happening on the road without worrying or concerning my family either. So that's another side benefit of the Facebook group, although many of my family members are in there. Anyway, I just wanted to hop on and just give you a little hello and tell you all that I'm thinking about you. I'm so grateful for the support the podcast has been doing really well. So thank you for those of you that have left reviews. Every one of those are important to me. I read those and they really encouraged me. So I just wanted to thank you for the support and I've met so many amazing men and women in our community and I'm so grateful for the friendships and the support and just that you would take time to share your journey with me. So thank you for supporting the show and all the good things that are happening.

Cindy Tunstall:

Like I said, brian will be back next week. I mean, don't y'all just love Brian? He's doing such a great job on the show and I'm so very grateful for him. So we have another great show coming up next week, so be sure to subscribe, and our shows are launching on the 1st and the 15th. That schedule seems to be working out really well for all of us, so be sure to check us out. We're on Apple, spotify or wherever all the major podcast players, so I'm really easy to find our show.

Cindy Tunstall:

So if you find a show and you're listening, and if you could do me a favor and the topic really resonates with you and you, somebody comes to mind, that's, you know, having a need with that issue or a need to connect or even a celebration of victory in that area. I would really love if you would share our show, because you know we're trying to do a lot to help drivers out there and to speak to topics that are going to resonate with the life of an OTR driver, and your support and sharing really means a lot to me. It's the best way for more drivers to find our community. So thanks for all you do. I'm grateful for you.

Cindy Tunstall:

I hope y'all are staying safe. This wind has been crazy this last week, so the last few days have been rough and trucking, so I know many of you have been impacted by the weather and I'm so grateful that you're when I see that you're staying safe and connected and hearing from you online, so I appreciate you all. I just want to say I see you out there working hard and doing great things for your family. You're making the world a better place and I'm so grateful that you share your journey with me. Well, that's it, for today is short and sweet. Hope y'all having a great day. Y'all take care and, by all means, enjoy the journey.
