45 Before 50: Calling in the Next Chapter (Krystyn's Birthday Episode!)

Forget the bucket list. We're aiming for something far more interesting.

In this special birthday episode, Krystyn celebrates 45 trips around the sun by sharing her "45 Before 50" list: a collection of adventures, experiences, challenges, dreams, and slightly questionable ideas she hopes to tackle over the next five years.

Because somewhere between raising kids, paying bills, surviving perimenopause, and trying to remember why you walked into a room, it becomes clear that life isn't about waiting for someday. It's about deciding that someday is now.

Join us as we laugh, reflect, and dream out loud about what it means to embrace midlife with curiosity instead of dread, possibility instead of limitation, and just enough delusion to believe we can still do all the things.

Whether you're turning 45, 55, or simply wondering what happened to the last decade, this episode might inspire you to create your own list of things that make your soul light up.

Here's to getting older, getting weirder, and realizing that the second half of life may be where the real magic begins.

Because who needs a bucket list when you can have a five-year adventure plan?

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:10

You guys, it's my birthday episode. I'm like debating, do I sing happy birthday or usually you launch right in the song.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

I feel a little offended. A little bit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:20

Well, let's not forget that I already did sing a song. Do Bob Boob saying low? Yeah. Do they waddle? To and fro. To and fro. Just listen. From some point, they go from a wobble to a waddle. We need some Tito's. Tito's of the day. Do you have Cheetos in your freezer?

SPEAKER_00 0:42

No, I don't keep any alcohol. I listen. I keep my my my house like I keep or my bit evident in the listen. Hey guys.

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Strike that. Start over. We definitely have not had anything to drink, so no, I just had cotton candy.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

That's the problem.

SPEAKER_01 1:02

Said no whenever. Is this your third birthday episode?

SPEAKER_00 1:07

Yep, it's my third birthday.

SPEAKER_01 1:10

Number three.

SPEAKER_00 1:11

Number three. All right. Yeah, because the first one we did was my Palomalu birthday. Yes. Then we did lucky number 44.

SPEAKER_01 1:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:20

And now we're 45 before 50.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 1:24

Anyway, shall we welcome people to this illustrious episode? Here we go.

SPEAKER_01 1:30

Here we go.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Welcome to two Mystic Mamas. So 45 before 50. Right. So the idea here is that I want to enter my 50s in five years feeling good. Not feeling the burnout. And so rather than this being a bucket list of shit you're supposed to tick off your list, this is the idea of creating your own list of things that you want to do to help make you feel a little bit better about yourself. A little more raise your frequency, your vibration, a little bit more energy.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

I love this. I think you can apply this if you're celebrating a birthday coming up or you know, in the next year or so. Right. Take this and run with it.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

Right. Because how many people enter a milestone birthday, so to speak, feeling like shit? I mean it starts as early as 30. Actually, I do remember turning 25 and being so irritated that I was gonna have to use another box of candles to light my fucking cake. The most ridiculous thing.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

I struggled at my 25th too.

SPEAKER_00 2:50

But just the idea of being 25. 25 and 30 were way harder for me than 40.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

30 I loved. 30 I loved. That was the year I got married and I found out I was pregnant with Emmy, but 25, I was well, I was struggling at 30.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

But then I completely changed my life, and it's literally the best decision I've ever made. Right. Yeah. I like the idea of entering my 50s feeling alive. More alive than I have.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

That I think is a theme too, that when you especially when you enter your your 40s, and when I was coming up with my research for this and and putting down some ideas of what I would like to add to the list or see if they're actually on the list, was also this idea, and we've talked about this, but I really want to re-coin the phrase midlife crisis. It has a tone and an air about it that can fuck right off. Because I don't think it's a crisis for most of us. And I also think it's unfair when women in their 40s are in the throes of perimenopause or gone through full-blown menopause, and these parts of us are out of our control. Like there's not something we can well, we're getting better at controlling it as more research and medical things happen, but which I think has gone into that bullshit scenario of having a crisis and being crazy and like losing their mind. So listen, I'm saying all this because I want to run some by you to see what you think are some good replacements, not even substitutes, full-on fucking replacements for the term midlife crisis. Okay, the great recalibration, the becoming years, you know, like the wonder years.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

Get fucked with the becoming years. Absolutely not. The becoming years, listen, the sacred rewrite. That sounds like a terrible porno.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

What about the audacity years? No, no, no, no, okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Wait, all right, run those by me again.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

The great recalibration. I did like this one, Perimenopause and Prophecy. I thought that was hilarious. Or spiritually feral. Some of these were real funny. So then I think there's the wisdom portal, the era of self-belonging, the sacred collapse, the absolutely not years.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

The zero fucks given. The sacred collapse sounds terrible to me as well. It's like somebody's having some sort of ovarian prolapse problem. Yes. No, Rachel, I don't think you're hitting the mark. What about none of these are making me feel more alive, by the way?

SPEAKER_01 5:38

The return to self. Hot flesh. No. I was supposed to say hot flesh.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

Oh, our OnlyFans is really popping off today, guys.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

Oh bless. None of these are good. To be renamed at another later date, guys. We're gonna come back to this. We have to we have to continue. What surprises you most about aging?

SPEAKER_00 6:18

That I'm not afraid of it. What feels younger now than it did at 30? My sex drive feels younger than it did at 30. 100%. Let's fucking go. Okay. What are you finally old enough to enjoy? Finally old enough to enjoy all the parts of myself. Welcome all the parts of myself and not look upon them with disdain. They're just a part of me. Yes. And they're all beautiful and magical. And I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Yeah. It feels real good.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

All right. So let's get into it. Let's get into your list. Now we're not going to go over every single thing because we would be here literally until you turn 46, but I want to see what you got to say.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

I feel like when you sit down and you start to put together a bucket list, quote unquote, there are things that you feel like you have to write down. And one of the first things And you know why it's called a bucket list. Right. Well, we've talked about this before where I have a fucket list. Yes. It's different. But the unhealed pieces of me that still have this line of thinking that I need to lose a certain amount of weight in order to feel good about myself started to like weigh in on old lists.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:33

I saw that starting to come through immediately.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:37

And I was like, okay. How do I reframe this?

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Like old lists from your past where that would have been something on it.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

Right. Like lose this many pounds by this date.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:48

Would 1,000% have been on previous Kristen's lists.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

Yes. Yes. I'm tracking.

SPEAKER_00 7:54

No longer.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

No.

SPEAKER_00 7:55

No. However, some of the things that I want to do involve me being at my healthiest.

SPEAKER_01 8:03

Like getting stronger.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

I'm here for this.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

So like being able to do a pull-up or three.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Yeah. Oh. Never. I've been on the case. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:15

I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but I've been too afraid that I weigh too much to go rock climbing. So I've stopped myself from doing it.

SPEAKER_01 8:24

Yeah. Which is also not true.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

Also not true.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

Yeah. Fun story. Why do you want to go rock climbing? Not a fun story. That I have a fun story to go along with that.

SPEAKER_00 8:33

I really like heights. And one of the no one of the things that I realized when I got my drone pilot license was how freeing and amazing it felt to be doing that and looking at the world from that view. While it's not on this list, something that I would potentially want to do in my life is to get my single engine pilot license. Our lists are very different. So different. Next year you tell me you want to fucking go to space. No, I don't want to go to space. That's dumb. But some of my things are very simple too. So along the vein of wellness, though, is that I want to go on a spiritual slash wellness retreat for a weekend for myself. And additionally, I want to host a magical retreat. Okay. These are two items. Yep. But both things very like near and dear to me. I want to learn how to make a good fucking loaf of gluten-free bread. Let's be honest.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

I feel like I'm a part of that. Why, Rachel? Well, because I feel like I need to start the starter and then give it to you. That might be coming. We don't know.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

Oh man. Watch out, guys. So there are certain things in here that are like related to wellness, but they're not like lose 50 pounds by the time I'm 46.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Yeah. I feel like weight in general is associated with lies we tell ourselves. Like when we stop believing belly fat is a negative, and that the size of our body dictates our worth and in general how stress and cortisol and all of that play into holding on to weight. I know for me specifically, I know that I hold on to weight when I don't feel safe. Right. Right. And it's a defense mechanism that actually is genetically and just intrinsically how we're actually developed as humans. I do think that the way you're constructing this list is so healthy because by getting stronger or having intentional movement and also working on different aspects of our health, that is a releasing of it'll be a side effect of the work.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

100%. Yeah. Because the through line here is how I feel and the experiences that I want to have, not shit that I just want to accomplish.

SPEAKER_01 11:05

Because someone said you had to.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

Exactly. Now, there are a couple of financial pieces in here. One of the things that they talk about, they financial experts, is that most millionaires have eight different revenue streams. And for me, one of the things I put down was have a diversified portfolio of savings. Right. Yeah, we've talked about this too. Right. And then I looked at what income streams I have and I was like, oh, I just need to be patient because I already have all eight revenue streams and I'm constantly working my ass off and putting myself in a space that feels good. And all of that negativity and generational trauma that has clung on that's attached to finances finally falling away. Yes. When you recognize, first of all, it's not mine. Yes. That was their shit. Yep. That's not mine. I don't need to hold on to that. Right. And I already have that thing. So now it's just about okay, well, what do I want that to look like for my future? Not because I want to fucking live like Scrooge McDuck and have a pool of gold coins, but because I want to be able to gift myself, my family, my friends, my community, feelings, experiences, et cetera, et cetera.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

Totally. I had, and maybe it was in prep for this episode, but yesterday morning when I was coming out of a dream state, I've been having very, very clear visions or downloads in the past two weeks. Not every single day, but frequently enough that I'm like, what's happening? Right. They're very clear messages that I'm supposed to share with the collective. And yesterday I actually wrote it down in my notes. The download I had right before waking up was all about subconscious limiting beliefs around financial abundance. And what was happening in my dream was they kept saying, you have limiting beliefs around financial abundance. You have to do the work and let go of these subconscious limiting beliefs. So I woke up knowing that this wasn't just a message for me. This was a message for the collective, but also, what does that look like? So yesterday I did two meditations. One was a Reiki meditation, and the other one was just a sound bath meditation where it was lift the cords, cut the cords, remove the blocks that have been in place in a subconscious way. And it was fascinating because when you do that subconsciously, that comes down into your conscious state. And now you're recognizing and you're aware of it, and you can set the intention to remove right the blocks at that level. So it's very interesting that it came in right as I was prepping for this.

SPEAKER_00 14:10

Well, and the other part of this is that when I looked back, one of the things I put on my list was to take some time off of work. Like I look back and I have not taken a solid week off of work. I have so many different jobs that have required me always to be in contact with clients or emails or anything that I have not had ever a week off of work. And even when I started working when I was 16, I had multiple jobs. I've always worked multiple jobs my entire life. I love all of the things that I do. I have no intention of changing that. It feels good. But I want to create space to allow other things to come in and to flex as I get older and move into the space that they're going to be in, because we're not meant to stay the same. We're not meant to stay in exactly the same place doing the same thing over and over and over again. And even though that isn't necessarily my case, my jobs and everything I've done has always flexed with my passions and and my creativity. Right. Yeah. Which I love so much. But I've never allowed myself true time off. And I can't even imagine at this point, sitting here today, what it would be like to take a week off of photography, teaching, the podcast, writing.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

I don't want to say I don't know how you would do it, but one of the things that just popped into my brain when you were just saying this was the fact that, like, well, a lot of your jobs are around passions, which you've touched on. And I think it would be a challenge for you to turn your brain off if you were to go on a true vacation. Because just think about it. One of the things that I had put on the list was to take our families and our crew to Lisbon for two weeks.

SPEAKER_00 16:08

Also on my list.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

Okay. Would that be for the podcast? 100%. But would it also be like a life core memory that we'd be sharing with our family? So it would be more of a we're going to capture it from that standpoint, like that authentic standpoint, and we were and we're going to do us and also at the same time it's work.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

I'm not going to be going there and not photographing everything. Well, that's the thing. Like I think about that, and I'm like, is that a vacation? Or is I just need to put my ass on an island for a week with no instruments. Maybe a guitar, like a ukulele or something I can play.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

Yeah, knowing you, you'd be like, don't send me with an instrument, and you'd come home with some fucking whittled guitar out of a tree. Well, I couldn't stand it, so I had to make one. And look at this camera I made out of this little piece of old beer bottle. I'm not trying to downplay your ability to take time off and not like truly relax. I just also know that you would have like a day and a half and you'd be like, fuck this. Like, let's go go back to doing because your jobs are your passions and they're not you very much work to live your life. Right. You do not live to work. And so when you're able to combine your passions and your love of life and call that work, how do you take a break from that?

SPEAKER_00 17:37

And maybe I don't. Maybe I need to reframe that in a way that feels better for me.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Maybe it's the pressure that like sometimes the jobs create.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

Yeah, I don't even think it's necessarily the pressure that the jobs themselves create, but it's the external pressure of making everything fall online. Soup to nuts. One of the other things involving the podcast is to find the perfect fit.

SPEAKER_01 18:06

I had that on there too.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

For a podcast house for us.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

Yep, yep. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 18:10

And this is all three of us.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Oh, yeah, we're a unit. Yeah. The other day I told a story on the podcast about the pants that were able to fit me, even though the woman letting me borrow them was completely different body type than me. Uh-huh. And uh we recently watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants too.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

I didn't know there was a second one. I never actually saw the movie. I read the book.

SPEAKER_01 18:34

I like the movie. Emily was like, I don't want to watch this. This is stupid. And then she was like, We should watch the second one. Yeah, okay. And though, you know, the women in the movie have all gone to do different things in their careers. One of the girls, Lena, goes to Greece. She goes to Santorini, right? The most picturesque. And Emmeline was like, Is that a real place? And I was like, Yeah, it is a real place.

SPEAKER_00 18:56

That is on the bucket list to travel. The travel bucket list.

SPEAKER_01 19:00

The travel bucket list is pretty extensive. I had put some on there for you. But one of them was go to Greece and disappear into tiny bookstores and cafes. With our daughters, like a mother-daughter trip, I think would be really, really fun. I love that. Some of these I like put down my own, and then naturally they some of these were like created. I really want to in the next year go to Lilydale with you. Oh, and create an episode, but also explore Lilydale and make a whole thing of it. I love that. But they did have they did come up with a couple really cool ones for the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 19:43

Uh did you use chat?

SPEAKER_01 19:44

I plugged it in, but then they like created, and I think it's because they've used other conversations that I've put in before, but like for us to be interviewed on a massive platform of a podcast that we align with. Right. This was more you, but create a Tomistic Mama's Oracle deck, and I was like, Oh my gosh, I was gonna put that down. I was like, that's a really good one. Now this one we've talked about, and I don't know if it would necessarily be on your yeah, it will be on your 45 under 50. Have listeners recognize us in public or recognize you in public.

SPEAKER_00 20:19

Oh, you've said that you you liked that. I don't necessarily need to be recognized or want to be recognized in public, but I think it would be really cool to overhear a conversation about our podcast by listeners.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

Yes, okay. I knew you had mentioned it in some capacity, so that's what it was. I also had on your list to meet and have either a girl dinner with or maybe just coffee and just hang with your girl Melissa.

SPEAKER_00 20:46

Melissa McCarthy, are you are you watching? Are you listening?

unknown 20:49

I love you.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

Hot flush. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

So I had that down. Buying this house. I had that down. I thought this would be fun. I know we can't do it until Evie turns 18, but doing a plant medicine journey together in Peru. I mean, you'll be that would literally be your 50th year. That would be wild. I think it would be cool to do it though together. Yeah. As an immersive like experience that we could give to our listeners and our oldest, well, you're Evie. The girls will be 18 at that point.

SPEAKER_00 21:23

This is the third time Peru's come up this week. Yeah. There was a store that used to be in the strip district, and the woman that ran it, unfortunately, they got run out of the strip district because it got too expensive and they couldn't afford the rent there anymore. Right. But she used to travel to Peru all the time, and she would get alpaca hair and fibers and stuff and create products out of them. And so I have some of those. And I still have her card on my vision board for her trips to Peru. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't think there's any I don't think there's plant medicine involved, but super cool. That is cool. There's some simple, simple ones that matter to me. I have a huge catalog of photographs, obviously, being a photographer. I would really love to catalog those in some way. Both my professional photos and my personal photos. So if there's any professionals out there that want to connect with me, I think it would be really cool to go through and have somebody catalog all of my images as an artist, but also like for family heirlooms.

SPEAKER_01 22:30

No, I think that would be an incredible exercise. Yeah. Okay, so this is where it got kind of interesting, right? Take yourself on an artist date once a month.

SPEAKER_00 22:39

I used to do this thing called an artist walk, and it was from a book. And I had connected with this woman via networking in like January of 2020. She's the one that had told me about this artist walk. It's how she had found her storefront for her coffee shop that she had at the time. But she would just go and walk and allow all of these creative things to come to her. Have you ever seen the Rise event? They do it outside of Vegas in the desert. And it's an event where all of these people gather and they write their intentions and well wishes on lanterns and lift them all up into the sky, and there's DJs and music. Like it's like a whole experience. I would very much like to go to that. Okay. Or some sort of like spiritually collective moment like that.

SPEAKER_01 23:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

Like Burning Man.

SPEAKER_00 23:33

Yeah, I feel like that's like another level of drugs. If I was gonna do something like that, I would be very cautious about the energy I was around. And those would not be where I would choose. Burning man is a no. Coachella is a no. Another photo base one. It's just getting, we've never had professional family photos done out of the three of us.

SPEAKER_01 23:56

Yeah. I suck at that.

SPEAKER_00 23:58

The three of us have not done that.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

Yeah, what's up with that? You should be able to barter that shit.

SPEAKER_00 24:03

I know.

SPEAKER_01 24:03

Make that happen. Listen, we're putting all this out in the universe. We are. Let's go. All right. What else is on yours? Just continuing to stand in your power and exercise your ability and your creativity and that sort of thing. But you're on that path. So I think it'll just like naturally come when it's supposed to.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

Well, and I think for me, there's vulnerability and openness that I have now that continues to grow that I will never share on this podcast. Well, no, and I'm not right. And like that is like that's just one of those things that is something that feels very good to me is to have a piece of myself that stays a piece of myself. I don't have to share everything for the sake of sharing because I can still share my light and my lived experience with the world without having to necessarily open up everything. Yeah. Yeah. But those are places are always growing. For me, as long as I'm continuing to grow in those places, I'm cool with it. And a part, you know, like this whole writing process is part of that too.

SPEAKER_01 25:12

Oh, that was on there.

SPEAKER_00 25:13

Um publish at least one, if not I have multiple, yeah. Multiple. I did have that on there. Shit! You know your girl loves a tropical destination, right? So anything involving a beach, I'm pretty much I'm there for it. Oh, you know what else I was thinking about? I want to go on like a really awesome train ride. Like one of those like glass top open, like I feel like you've told me that before. Yeah, either the one the Rocky Mountain Express through the western part of the country. There's one up in Canada too that looks really cool. Yeah, or there's one that goes through Asia that looks incredible.

SPEAKER_01 25:49

All right, I got my list. Okay. How are we closer to? I was like, this is when Kristen's birthday is. I was like, how are we closer to 50? Time and age are a wild place because we don't feel 50 per se. And yet here we are. We're here for it. The experience, the gray hair, the wrinkles. Naturally, she's coming up with her own list. I want to have some suggestions or ideas to add. Taking a trip to Lilydale, yes, for the podcast, but also for us as friends and sisters. Trips in general, I know travel will 100% be on her list, but specifically places for the podcast. Lisbon, and maybe a two-week trip all over Portugal. We can bring our team along, plus our families. Meeting Chris Corsini and hanging out, recording a podcast episode and vibing, maybe doing a meet and greet QA, Kristen meeting Melissa McCarthy in real life and having lunch, like a girls' dinner, very chill with drinks, food, and laughs, getting control of our bodies in regards to hormones, slash vitamins, and minerals, like really understanding the complexity of makeup, maybe a trip to do plant medicine after Evie's 18, buying the house, having five full financial freedom, a published book or three, the podcast getting picked up by Stephen Bartlett and his team, us bringing spirituality into the everyday. And then I said we're gonna do a Gemini twin telepathy test.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

Oh yeah, I had put that on the doc was the Gemini twin telepathy test. I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

Ooh, do you have it? I have an idea. Okay. Well, the most Gemini things about Kristen. So this is what came up with, and it said you can do rapid fire, but changes her mind, mid-sentence. Simultaneously wants peace and chaos, can intellectualize emotions instantly, which you're very good at. Has 45 tabs open mentally, also true, reinvents herself constantly, valid, needs stimulation, or she'll spiritually evaporate, which I thought was hilarious. Watermelon candy! Accidentally becomes everyone's therapist. Oh, that's real true. And she's funny during emotional breakdowns, which is also valid. Those are all valid.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

Okay, so we watched a I'll let you go, but we watched a video on Instagram last night, Evie and I, and it was like God giving notes on how to make a Gemini. I'll share it with you. Evie was like, Yep, yep, yep, yep. Yeah, yeah. Uh it's really interesting because I've been seeing all this stuff pop up about how different Gemini women are from Gemini men. So the consensus is Gemini men, not so great. No good. No, yeah. I've heard Gemini women, good friends. Yes. It's very interesting.

SPEAKER_01 28:26

Yeah. And I think that's true with Pisces men and Pisces women. Pisces men. Good. Good men. Yeah. Pisces women. But I do think that there's an error about them. Yeah, there's healthy zodiacs and unhealthy zodiacs. So it's kind of like Enneagram, too. Like you can have, you can have a healthy, you can be a healthy four or a healthy nine, or an unhealthy. Like you can blend both. But so these are pick the same crystal, write down celebrity crushes, which some of this we already know. So it's kind of like it's not really telepathy, it's just like knowledge. Guess each other's answers to biggest fear, dream trip, comfort food, most irrational, pet peeve. Who survives apocalypse first? Kristen.

SPEAKER_00 29:13

Rachel's already said she's just going to roll over and let shit happen how it's going to happen.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

And I say that because I know that that's not gonna fucking happen. I know that I'm gonna get stuck here and I'm gonna have to save the world, and I'm not gonna be here for it. Pick which energy matches this year. Blindfold object guessing, or guess which song the other is thinking about.

But if you don't, you have a choice. And the choice is to celebrate your ass, okay? My husband celebrates my ass all the time. I'm sure he does. Fantastic. There you go, guys. We'll just end there. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Happy birthday, and may Charles play with your ass too. I love you guys. Happy birthday, Kristen. Hi. Thanks, Richard.
