Okay. That's crazy. Okay. You ready? Yeah. One three. Welcome to the Failure Your Coast podcast. We're your house, Morgan and Bailey. Hey guys. We have a fun podcast update episode for you today. Woo. We're really excited to get into it, but no spoilers yet, so. First, we're going to share what's filling our cups. Yes, we have champagne. Woo-hoo clink. Oh my gosh. Editor came in. He's so excited. My co-ho. Yes. Ard loves when Bailey's here. Yes. He gets so excited and it's been so long, especially since I've been able to come over without Mila. And like actually give him attention. Yeah, so true. Hi buddy. He probably heard us go. Welcome to Yeah. Okay. Today we have champagne and of course my water. Yeah. Always gotta have, always. Yeah. So we have some Prosecco today because we. Are really celebrating Yes. Is how I think of the episode. Mm-hmm. So hopefully that's how you think of it too. I do. And then, oh, I guess we didn't really talk about a shout out. No. Do we have, do you guess a shout out Well, I could give a shout out to my cohost Morgan, who I. I don't know. You've just done a really great job with everything and, and I love you and I'm just very happy to have done this with you through this whole time. Me too. Me too. Thank you. So shout out to you. Thank you. Yeah. So I'm gonna give Bailey a second, but Bailey's gonna update us because we're taking a bit of a turn. Mm-hmm. If you guys have been listening, you know that she's been on podcast maternity leave is what I've been calling it. Yes, I know. Every time I watch the episode, you're like, Bailey's on podcast, Aternity leave. And I'm like, Ooh. Yeah. She's not getting paid for that or anything. By the way, there's no FM involved. Yeah. Unfortunately, when I say podcast maternity leave, I'm not able to give her anything for that. Besides, I bring her meals and coffee every once in a while, which is a lot. So thank you. Yeah. So that's your maternity leave plan from the Fill Your Cups podcast? Yes, yes. Thank you. Yes, but we, but Bailey does have an update for us today. Mm-hmm. So we are kind of, we're. Moving into new things, both of us. Mm-hmm. So it's exciting. So I'm just gonna let you go.'cause honestly we haven't like talked that much about it. No, not super in depth. Yeah. Even just us two. Mm-hmm. So the, we always like keeping it real with you guys on the podcast. And so we're literally doing that. This is kind of, I mean, it's not the first conversation we've had about it, but the first like in depth conversation that we've had. Yeah. We've not had time. Yes. Yeah, it goes crazy. Well, we've just been, you've been busy and I've been busy, so I know. Yes. This is a life man. Well, my big update is that I am taking a step back from the podcast and will be leaving it to just Morgan, I guess. So I am stepping away from it, um, just because my life as a mom has pretty much taken over and it's pretty much. With lack of better words, all I care about and all I wanna do. And I just think that that continuing to be on the podcast would've been like a disservice to Morgan and to you guys. Just my heart wasn't gonna be in it, and it would've just felt like something I had to do rather than something I wanted to do. And this was always been something I wanted to do. So that's my big update, is that I'm stepping away. And so I'm very. Sad about it, obviously, but also I think that it really is right for me. No matter how sad about it I am. Yeah. Yeah. We were talking a little bit about it today. Even today, it was like a lot to coordinate. Yeah, yeah. Sitting together. Oh, oh my gosh. Yeah. We were like, okay, I'll come over around two, because that's when she takes a nap. And then I'm like, actually, she woke up from her other nap later, so I'm gonna be there a little bit later. And we had to, uh, like she ate a little bit longer, so I'm gonna be there at this time. Didn't have any makeup on and was in sweatpants. And I was like, okay, I also have to get ready and then I'll be there. And I was just thinking to myself like, oh my goodness, if I was back at work, plus had Mila Plus had my house to take care of, plus my husband to be with and the podcast, I was like, I just think that's way too much for me. So even today I was like, I'm really glad I made the call to step away, but. Then I get here and I'm like, I am so sad about it. But it is, I mean, it's 100% the right thing for me, especially at this time. Yeah, yeah. And sometimes, so I did an episode last week and spoiler, I knew that Bailey was leaving the podcast, but I was, it was about that. The episode was about starting over. Yeah. And just like signs that it's time to start over. Some of the signs were like, when you think about losing that thing, do you feel more relief? Like does it feel like, oh God, that's a weight off my shoulders? Mm-hmm. Or does it feel like really upset? Like obviously there's gonna be some upset and you're upset right now? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. And sad about it, but also. I mean, I have to assume you haven't said this. Mm-hmm. But I have to assume that when you think about not having editing and not having recording Yeah. And not arranging when to me and not doing social media part of it mm-hmm. And all of that. I have to imagine that when you think about that, that's part of why it's feels like more of a relief because Yeah. Of just because that's all this mental energy that's going toward. This instead of Mila. Mm-hmm. I had told you when we first talked about it.'cause it's not that I don't have the time, that's not what it is. It's more that I don't want to make the time for it. And when I realized that, I was like, oh yeah, there's no way I can keep doing it. Like the fact that I am telling myself like, ah, just not something I would choose to put my time towards anymore. Mm-hmm. Because I would choose so many other things and, and most of that being Mila and yeah. Being at home with her and like. I would love to spend the, every moment she's awake with her like I spend with her. Mm-hmm. And so, yeah, once I realized that, I was like, okay. Yeah. And I couldn't even lie to myself and say, I don't, I just don't have the time. It was that I just didn't even want to make the time for it. Mm-hmm. And I felt like that was the biggest. Sign for me. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And I think that there's something to be said for when you are interested in something versus invested in something. Yeah. And like, I feel like for a while you've been like, yeah, that's, you know, being a part of the podcast is interest, like mm-hmm. That interests me. I It's fun. Yeah. It, the idea is nice. Yeah. But in reality, I'm like not invested in that. Mm-hmm. So it doesn't make sense too. Keep pretending that I'm invested in that if I'm not, yeah, 100%. Yeah. And I think that's okay, and I think that that could apply to lots of things in life. Mm-hmm. So hopefully people listening to this mm-hmm. Maybe it's like a call out for something else that they should be quitting or starting over. Yeah. Or taking a step. Yeah. It's your sign to walk away. Yeah. Yeah. No matter how hard it is. Yeah. Or like I said, if it's something that you don't feel more relief, then you feel sad feelings over or whatever, whatever you get. Think about losing it. Mm-hmm. Then maybe that means that there's something else that needs to happen. But yeah, I, I think that it's important that we're like, honest about where we're at. Yeah. Because also this podcast has been called the Fill Your Cups podcast for this long. Mm-hmm. And we are all about what's filling your cups and not what's draining them. Mm-hmm. And yeah, it sounds like it's, it'd be like a drain on your time, like mm-hmm. Like really valuable time and energy Yeah. That you have right now? Yes. And that you won't get back later. Yeah. So I, yeah. I don't know. One, one thing that Jared always says is that our, like our time and our energy is the most. Valuable wealthy resource that we have. Mm-hmm. Like more so than money. Yeah. So you need to like savor it and be, be protective over it. So yeah, I think that's totally okay. And while I seem totally okay right now, I was sad when Bailey told me Uhhuh I was I, and. This is something I also wanna mention for me, I felt like. I felt like I already kind of had a gut intuition. Mm-hmm. Even before, like you said, you were taking time off for maternity leave or whatever. Mm-hmm. Even before that, I had like this feeling, but it's kind of been a long time. I've said it so many times, but I've made the joke about how like, oh, this podcast wouldn't be a thing anymore if it wasn't for you. Mm-hmm. And I a hundred percent meant that like, I would've, I would've stopped doing it because. It was just a fun little thing. Yeah. Like, and so if it was a just up to me, I would stop a long time ago because I just don't have like the drive mm-hmm. Behind it. And I'd probably been more checked out, quote unquote for a while, or like not as invested for a while. And I've been saying it like. Not all the way, but like, yeah, like it wouldn't have been a thing if it wasn't for you kind of thing. Yeah. And just, and just to say like, I think that sometimes we can just trust our gut. Like it may, like, things may have been easier if 12 weeks ago or however long ago I had been like, are you into this still? You know, like that sort of thing. Yeah. You know, think maybe it. Maybe things would've felt different or like you wouldn't have felt so much pressure of like, not letting me down mm-hmm. Or something like that. Mm-hmm. But obviously, like in the moment there's a lot of feelings and if you like, are feeling let down about something or disappointed about something. Obviously, like that can hurt a lot in the moment. Mm-hmm. But for, like, for me, I was really sad about it for like, like that night, like the night that you told me. Got home was really sad, talked to Jared about it, and then the next day I was like, whoa, okay, so here are my options. What can I do? Yeah. And I guess there were, I guess there would be like more options than I even considered.'cause one, I was like, one option is that we, like, I quit completely. Mm-hmm. This would be like a clean break point. Mm-hmm. So if I ever was thinking that I wanted to quit, then this would be like the opportunity to take that Yeah. As a sign. And go ahead and quit. I don't really want to do that. I, I like, I really like doing the podcast. Yeah. And I really, I honestly like editing the episodes and I like, yeah. I like the things that go into it. Mm-hmm. So second option was like, okay, well I can take the, what we've already built and instead of quitting and starting over, I can just. Kind of start fresh. Yeah. Or make it into something that's mine. And we even, like when we first started, just the same way that anytime you start something with someone else mm-hmm. You kind of combine ideas. And when we started, we had a couple different ideas and for the most part, our ideas aligned. Mm-hmm. But I was like, actually this is a chance for me. To take some of the things that maybe didn't align. Like we, again, another joke we always make on the podcast, which maybe you guys need to be paying attention to the jokes that you make because they, they, they're telling Yeah. They could maybe give you some insights on where you're headed, but, but we always joke on the podcast that like, you always like the bit of fun. Yep. More entertaining episodes kind of like. More current events. Yeah. Or you know, just more entertainmenty. Yeah. Episodes. And I really like the Let's Get deep or like how tos mm-hmm. And the really. Tactical ones, I guess. Yeah. And those are a lot of the ones that I listen to as well, Uhhuh. Whereas my podcasts are like the upbeat and the like Yes. Like fun episodes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And so, so I still wanna have a fun podcast. Mm-hmm. But when I think about it, I was like, I actually, when I started, I really wanted the Fill Your Cups podcast to be little things that you can implement into your everyday life. That are small, but make a huge impact. Yes. And I wanna get more like back into that a little bit more. Yes. And I want them to be shorter'cause I don't know about you, but I am the type of person that I, when I click on a podcast that's like an hour long, or even sometimes 45 minutes, but especially like two hours long, sometimes it's a deterrent for me. Yeah. Because I'm like, that's so long and my commute to work is only 30 minutes. Uhhuh. I'm always like, I don't have time for that. Exactly. So I like the idea of being able to, to kind of shorten the, I guess, investment time that you have to make in order to listen to the podcast. Mm-hmm. Or a podcast episode. So, so yeah. So anyway, so that was my second option. Obviously the one I'm going with. And then I didn't even think about this option. Third option was I could like just be really mad at you or whatever. Oh God. Like, you know, and not. Yeah, but I, when I was, I was talking about this with Julia, one of our sisters, and she asked me like a real vulnerable question about like, well, do you think it's gonna affect your relationship with Bailey? Mm-hmm. And I was like, no, I don't think so, because it only would if. I let it like Yeah, it's, we are very in control of how we receive news and even if it's really upsetting news mm-hmm. There, the way you respond is Yeah. Yeah. To you. And like I said, like in the moment I was upset. Mm-hmm. I cried. Shocker. And you're upset, but you weren't mean, you weren't angry like. I felt like it, I don't know, like it was a very scary thing to have to say, but it would've been a lot worse had you yelled or had you like put me down or said that I was like, really disappointing you or anything like that. Mm-hmm. So, I don't know. I think that says a lot for the control of response. Thank you. Yeah, and I don't think it's always that easy, and I think in the moment I even said like. I don't really know what to say. Yeah, because I think that sometimes your gut impulse is like, oh, I wanna be mean, or I wanna say something negative, or something like that. Likey, or, and yeah, and I, I like, didn't really, like, didn't really know how to respond in the moment, but then the next day, again, I was feeling very much like, well, I can choose. I can choose where to go from here. Mm-hmm. Ball's in my court, so. Mm-hmm. I. I get to decide. And honestly, like, yes, I was very upset the day before, but then I was like, that's actually a really empowering feeling. I actually got to like, I get to do whatever I want. Yeah. You know? And so, so for me, I felt really, it was like upsetting, but it was also exciting. And I feel like that's something that listeners could take away too. Mm-hmm. Is that sometimes there's like. It could, it could be an obstacle or it could be an opportunity. Mm-hmm. That's not always as obvious as in this case, but it, I mean, it's not necessarily just gonna be like, oh yeah, it's so easy to just change everything or, or do it all myself or whatever. Yeah. But there. It's all about mindset, you know? Mm-hmm. So yeah, so that, so that's kind of where like I was at with it. Yeah. I also think there's something to be said for you kind of having like the bravery or like the courage to move forward in that.'cause we stay stuck I think a lot of the time in things. Yeah. Out of obligation. Yeah. I was telling Mason. Because obviously you don't come to a decision like that overnight kind of thing. So it was something I had been pondering. It was something that I was like, I don't know if this is the right choice for me or not. Like for a couple weeks I was like, maybe I'll get over it. Like once she was born I was like, yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't wanna do it anymore. But I was like, okay. But maybe once it's like a little less harder with her, maybe I'll be fine going back. Mm-hmm. And then it just got to a point where I was like. No, like I just don't think that that's what I want anymore. And that's why I was saying earlier when I realized that it wasn't that I couldn't make the time, but that I didn't want to make the time that I was like, okay, that's like pretty serious. Mm-hmm. But when I had been talking to Mason about it and the night that I told you,'cause obviously like I'd been pondering for a couple weeks, but when I got home, because it was just like. The worst timing. Jared wasn't home. It was late at night. He was, it was a freaking Monday. I think he was gonna be gone all week. Grandma called us in the middle of you telling me, come cross in the middle of it. I'm like, oh my gosh. But I was like, I have to do it now because I won't have any other alone time with her until next week when she's asked me if I wanted to come back for the episode. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, I have to do it tonight. Mm-hmm. And once I had told you and everything. And then went back inside. I told Mason, I was like, listen, even though this was like a really hard thing to do, I kept putting it off. Mm-hmm. When I should have done it several weeks earlier. And I was like, so that is a learning lesson for me of just because it's really hard and like I don't want to do it. Like you still had to do it and I made it harder. Because I only, I had no more time. Time was out and so I was like, I was like, well, I'll be taking that as a learning lesson that yeah, you can't wait up until the last minute anymore because it's not gonna be good for you. And it's not good for them either. Like yeah, I was like, that was really just. Bad for everyone involved. Yeah. Or like, like, it just could have been so much better. You could have, have someone much more time. And I wouldn't have had to tell you on 8:00 PM on a Monday night when Jared's not here. And I was like, oh my gosh. So, yeah, I, I'm taking that away for sure. Was a learning lesson. Yeah. It wasn't great timing. I, I'll admit that. No, it was very shitty timing, but yeah. You know, that's okay. And I am glad that you'll take that away because I do.'cause I do feel like those are learning moments and we're all doing live for the first time. Mm-hmm. So we're all figuring out how to like, let people down mm-hmm. And how to go about conversations like that. And, and the only things I've quit before are jobs. Yeah. Care about the employers. Well, yeah, I was gonna say, you've never quit on your podcast co-host before. No, I've never quit on my sister before. So yeah, we're, we're all doing, yeah, we're all doing this for the first time. So, yeah. So I, yeah, the timing wasn't great, but I do, and I like that you. Like, that's something that, that you're gonna move away with, like move forward with. Mm-hmm. And so I, I don't know, sometimes like even when we do something that we're like, we didn't do that the right way. We always say like, you learn, you don't learn from your past, you learn from reflecting on your past. So it's good to think about that and not just be like, oh, well that was bad. And then move on and like barrel into something again in the future. And yeah, do the exact same thing five years down the road. Mm-hmm. Probably not with the call. A podcast co-host. Mm-hmm. But probably with something else, you know? Yeah. So, I mean, it kind of reminded me of like, I wait till last minute whenever I ask for PTO and things like that. Mm-hmm. And like, that's never better for me because I'm anxious up to the point. It's never better for my employer because it takes them, or like they don't have as much time to prepare Yeah. Kind of thing. Yeah. And I'm like, no, this was the real, like, this is one of the only times it's like really mattered to me as well. Mm-hmm. Of like quitting on someone, I guess. Mm-hmm. And I was like, okay. Will not, will not be going about it in the same way that I did. Yeah. Yeah. I, yeah, that's a really good example. Mm-hmm. Before we talk about like, or I start talking about what I envision going forward. Mm-hmm. Do you wanna tell them anything else about like your decision or feelings about it or? Yeah, anything. Anything. Yeah. You don't have to. I guess the only other thing that I would've said is that it kind of reminded me of episode about like. When, no, it's time to quit your job. Oh yeah. I almost listened to that episode to be like, are there some things that like, is pretty shining out to me? And it, I had just felt like it was, and so, so I, I just thought that was funny that I was like, oh, I could go back and listen to one of our episodes'cause it's like a helpful episode. Um, but no, some of the only other things I'll say is during my maternity leave, I have loved watching them on YouTube. I had never really watched or listened to them before.'cause I was like, I'm. A part of it. Yeah. I know what our episode's about. Yeah. But, and especially when you edit it, you listen to it twice basically. Exactly. So I was like, I don't need to, but like obviously I have downloads on and everything like that. Yeah. But it has been really fun to watch it at home on YouTube, like while I'm doing laundry or like while I'm feeding Mila and things like that. So I really enjoyed that. Do you think you'll still upload to YouTube? Oh, definitely. Oh, hell yeah. Honestly, it might make social media even easier because if you guys watch on YouTube, obviously it posts that normal, like wide screen version. Yeah. And I was kind of thinking recently, see this is again, I, I swear I wasn't, I don't know. I feel like I'm giving very toxic positivity vibes, but, but more so I'm, I like I went through the negative parts. In my brain. Mm-hmm. And, and like with Yeah, just like process through that. Yeah. And then I was like, okay, but now I don't wanna sit there. I want to like move on. Yeah. So I don't think that's toxic positivity. I think that's like rewriting. How you feel about it or like, okay. Yeah. So just making it better. Yeah. So with the YouTube thing, I was like, oh, it'll be really nice because now with only one person, it's a lot easier to like squeeze on frame into a story or like a real template. Yes. Instead of like putting stuff behind it and being like, oh, one of us. Centered. I was like, actually, I think that might make that easier because I'm only one person and like I'm pretty sure that this part, if you're watching on YouTube where I'm like drawing my line, I'm pretty sure that's like a story size basically. Yeah, 100%. So I was like, that'll make it a little bit easier, you know, you're not wrong, but, but yeah, so I'll definitely still upload to YouTube and I'll definitely obviously be on Spotify and Apple Podcast and want people to listen and watch in those places. Mm-hmm. And I will still be at the same. It'll essentially still be like the same link or whatever it is. Yeah. Uh, like if you have one of our magnets from our one year birthday or whatever, like the QR code will still take you there. All of that, our links in like the link tree on our Instagram, that'll still take you there. All of that. But I will, I am planning to change the name. I'm not gonna say it right now because I'm pretty sure I know what it's gonna be, but I'm still deliberating. But obviously when you, when you listen to this, so this will come out Monday, November 17th. So if you're listening in into this in real time, then next week. Monday, November 24th will, oh my God. Be the first episode. Oh my God. Podcast. Oh, so yeah. So it'll still be, I'm not, I'm literally just gonna change. Fun fact for you. If you're ever interested in podcasting, it's actually really easy once you've set up with like a hosting service and like a hosting platform, which we use Buzzsprout. Mm-hmm. But it, you can change the name and not lose like all your subscribers and all that. That's so nice. Yeah. It's nice. It's a quick edit. Yeah. It's like a rebrand, you know? So, and now's the time for me to do that, you know? Yeah. It's kind of like a clean break. I can rebrand. Mm-hmm. And really start fresh. So I will have a new trailer and then I'll have a new episode up on the 24th. Oh my gosh. And I'll have my new name and everything, and then I will also change the handle on Instagram and on. YouTube and oh my goodness, everywhere that we are crazy. The only thing that will be different, well, a few things will be different. So one, I really want it to be like a high Vibe Mindset podcast where you tune in for whatever it is, 15 to 25 minutes. When you tune in, you leave and you feel either ready to take the next step mm-hmm. And whatever the thing is that you want are wanting to do. Mm-hmm. Or you just have a little kick in your pants to go do whatever the thing is, it could be laundry, it could be quitting your job, like it could be major, it could be minor, whatever. Or that you just leave with like an energy boost, some kind of takeaway, something that you leave the podcast and you feel just a little bit, just a teensy bit more amped up. Mm-hmm. And the brunt of it will be me like sharing. Something real that happened in the last week, like maybe a quick story and then what we can take from that. Honestly, like today's episode, could, I feel like there's like three or four things that already could be, yeah. Like that, that we've talked about, like turning obstacles into opportunities or learning from kind of doing something not the best way or you know, things like that. So that's my goal for that for the podcast, is to be really mindset focused and really help people move. Forward and not honestly, like not sit in the negative feelings like I was talking about that I had whenever you first told me about the update. Yeah. What like I know that. I know that it's not as easy for everybody to just 180 and turn. Yeah. But a lot of that has been like mindset work and personal development work that I've been doing for like Yes. Six plus years. Yes. So that's something that I feel like is really helpful when I share with other people. Mm-hmm. And something that honestly people seek my advice on. Mm-hmm. And so I. That's why I feel really drawn to do that. And so that is what the podcast will be like. That's the vibe that it'll give. And then the only other different thing that will be is that we are, I'm not gonna continue our bonus book club episodes on this podcast, uh, but our book club is called Shared Shelves, and I got approval from our girl Lindsay, who runs our shared shelf Instagram. Yeah. To go ahead and just make that its own podcast. Oh my God. Which again, if you're into podcasting, if you already pay for the podcast edit editor software or the podcast hosting website, like it's barely any additional because we pay by time pretty much. Yes. It's, it's. Pretty, it's not very expensive to kind of just add on. Yeah. So that's my plan is to have my podcast, which the name will be to be determined. Yes. And then. The shared shelves book club podcast. Oh my God, I'm so excited. I'm so excited for what you're doing with it. Yeah, and the good thing about that is that in the future, if you ever get nostalgic Yes. And you just wanna do a one-off, then yes, you could be on a book club episode. So back yeah, back my old stomping ground. Exactly. Yeah. I love it. So we'll still have people from book club rotating in and out. Mm-hmm. And the reason I really like the book club episodes too, and I don't wanna dismiss them'cause I don't think they quite mesh with the vibe I want for the podcast. I would agree. But I still want to keep doing them because one, they do still fill my cup. Yes. And then two. I do love specifically on YouTube. People watch those episodes in comment. I know. And I feel like people, the book reading culture right now is, uh, it's so big. So it's so big. Yeah. That I just think it's fun to be part of still. Yeah. So I still wanna be a part of it, but I don't think it quite aligns with what I'm wanting for the next podcast. Mm-hmm. So two things can be true. Let's do both, you know? Yes. So that is my plan going forward, hopefully. People, hopefully you didn't already unsubscribe from this um, podcast. Just kidding. But if you aren't subscribed yet, you should. Yeah. Because we will have a lot of fun stuff coming soon. Yes. It'll just be me and not Bailey. I know. That's crazy. I think some of my final thoughts is that one, as I think about the podcast, I am so happy that I did it and that we took the big step together and. I think that all of it was so fun. And if I had gotten to this point now and we had never started the podcast year and a half ago, I'd be sad that we didn't, and I would've felt like the time was missed and that I would, I would, yeah, I felt like it was a missed opportunity, so I'm like, you would've, yeah. Like, oh man, I didn't get ever do that. What would it have been like? So I'm really, really happy that we did do it and that. It was so fun while we were doing it and it kind of like, it was fun, hot last kind of thing. Um, in the, yeah, so I wanna say that I am very happy that I did it and when I look back on it, I'm really, really glad about it. And I think that it's a, it's a great moment of like my life that I'll be like, oh yeah, did a podcast line for a while. That was pretty cool with my sister. Like, that was really fun. And then I just wanna say thank you to everyone who. Is such a supporter and will continue to be, and that you guys made it really fun too, and always made me feel like what I had to say was really important, which is it's fun because not everyone in your immediate life can make you feel like that. Mm-hmm. So it was really cool to do and to feel like I had friends like in every point of my life. Yeah. You know what I mean? And listening in and, yeah. Mm-hmm. I think that even if, like, when I think about the. All the episodes, like at the beginning I say like, I have no friends and blah, blah, blah, blah. And towards the end of the episode I'm like, I have so many friends. And like especially because I just turned 27 and when I look at the year 27, I was telling Mason and you and everybody that I want to be a good and happy and content mom and wife and an involved friend. Mm-hmm. And I was like, at the beginning of the year, last year, I wouldn't have said anything about friendship. No. And I think it's a really cool thing'cause. This podcast, I feel like I've gotten so many friends. So yeah. So yeah. I don't know. Those are just my closing thoughts about it. Yeah. It's really cool when you guys reach out and you're like, oh, I totally get what you mean by this, or, I totally resonate with what you said about this. Yes. And or even sometimes it's like, I'll be talking with someone and they'll mention something, and I think I didn't, I didn't tell them that. Yeah. And then I remember that it was on the podcast. Nice. Yeah. So it's a really cool connection point with people. Mm-hmm. And I'm glad that you. Don't like regret it? No. Do you have any regrets about it? Not a single one. I love that. Not a single regret at all. I love that. Mm-hmm. So sometimes things are just for a season and that's okay. Yes. And that, and I think that that's what Fill Your Cup podcast has been all about. Mm-hmm. But I mean, we do it every, that is one thing that I'm actually really sad about, but at the end of the month, every month I make those recap videos. I know. And I was like, wait, I'm not gonna have like a personal invitation to like see what they're doing in all month.'cause I watched those videos and that's part of why they make me emotional. Yeah.'cause I feel like part like points of time in your life in the past month that I wasn't part of. Mm-hmm. I get to have like a little sneak preview, like what she doing Cool. That. Point being that when we talk about, like reflecting on your month and seeing what filled your cup and implementing more of those things, mm-hmm. And taking out more of those things that don't, this is just one example of that. So, yeah. And honestly it's an example on both ends because it's like, it does fill my cup. Mm-hmm. And it doesn't fill yours right now, and that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like. We move forward with that information. Yeah. Uh, I feel good about it. I feel happy. Good. But also very bittersweet. Yeah. It's very bittersweet. Yeah. Definitely. Mm-hmm. Sometimes, I don't know, I talked about this on the last week's episode too, like when I left my chamber job that mm-hmm. I loved my, my team so much and I love, like, there were so many things I loved about it. Mm-hmm. But it just was, it was not the time to, it was not a time to stay. It was a time to leave. Yeah. And I. It was immense relief once I got past that point. Yeah. So I'm sure that even though it is sad mm-hmm. Like I'm sure that you'll have some feelings of that. I will. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
