Uh, I was in Honduras in the tropical. Oh, and the climate was incredible, it was fantastic. The time, the climate. Um, I've been my kids, and I saw time in the playa, in the world that I was, in the coast of Caribe Honduras. I'm an animal, uh celebrations, with family, with my family. We were at a body of one of my friends, and it was a very special, reconnect with the emotional. And as you mentioned at the moment of our conversation, it's recuerdo in Philly at the 11 of the noche, it was like zero center, 22 grades Fahrenheit, and wow, what I'm saying, ¿por qué estoy aquí?

Uh, buona pregunta. Uh, in my family, we are in the playa. Uh, very casual.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

What is the playa? Yeah. What is the arena and the air?

SPEAKER_00 9:03

Well, I'm a biased because it's my hometown, my native that I am. But this playa in particular, the Samatella, it's a city in the coast of Caribbean of Honduras. The play is arena blanket, the calm, and the temperature of the away is perfect. It's perfect. Uh in the 70s Fahrenheit, and enter the house in December, in November, and the temperature is fantastic all the time. Uh, this was a bodies for the civil, and the committee. Uh for the civil.

SPEAKER_01 9:52

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:54

No, not a boda in the ecclesiastical was very casual. I have photos where you have shorts, uh, pantalones cortis, and my breaking stocks. Uh, and like MC uh, no queen an MC.

SPEAKER_01 10:18

Like, I mean, okay, so no era in an eglia, so no era a priest, but a sacerdote, no, no. But there's a reason that these people don't have a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00 10:39

Ah, okay, okay, well, the bodha was two parts. Primer we were a notario at the officer of a notary to do the bodies civil, you know, onto the law and all that. And the notary was the encryption of this part, no. Unfortunately, no existed that young. No, no, no, it was like a telenovela, that was. And the ceremony is very cool where they did those votes, I think it's the vows.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

And the officer of the notarious, because there are three quadres. And before the officer, we were at the player, a restaurant. And the restaurant was a restaurant italian with pizza and pasta. Much, very, very, very tranquil. And the restaurant in front of a patio in front of the player. And perfect, there's a certain vino, with people in a boda, and it's very. But I can't do the music, and I need a little bit of impulse, like a tequilita, or a little bit for animals for bail.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Okay, I enjoy. Yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_00 12:46

But it was a very good time. And we are episodes of this. And the thing that we're going to talk about for the day of hoy is a thing that you think is very interesting. Um, we're going to talk about proposits or methods or resolutions, resolutions for email, in a manner positive. And see, you know that there are a lot of people who are not saying proposites, resolutions, or methods. Uh, but I can escuch if Michelle has a lot of proposits for this 2026, Michelle, things that are uh I have much cambios that are in my life.

SPEAKER_01 13:38

Um in other episodes we'll have. But for now, I think, but a vehicle, others, tres más metas. Pero los dos para este año ahora son primero con mis clases de baile, es quiero quiero disfrutar el proceso de mejorar. So, por ejemplo, ahora a veces, bueno, muchas veces, estoy en clase o estoy en cuando in un social bailando con alguien. When me equivoco, equivoco, yo usualmente yo paro y algo como like, me hago otra vez. No, como si the confidence.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

Ajá, confianza, muy bien, y para disfrutar, like bailar más. Disfrutar, enjoy, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Um sin la presión de ser perfecto. Perfecta. So eso es mi primera meta. Y la otra es um vida in general. A veces yo tengo la tendencia de pensar en lo peor que puede pasar. Oh, que you know, si algo si yo hago eso, eso algo, algo muy mal puede pasar. Intermediamente yo me considero eso, optimistic positiva, optimista. Optimista. Y por eso cada vez cuando yo pienso en lo peor que pueda pasar, voy a pensar en lo mejor que puede pasar. Para cambiar como pienso en oportunidades, en riesgos, en cambios, en situaciones difíciles. It's like the mejor que puede pasar para aprovechar una vida con positividad.

SPEAKER_00 17:03

Positividad.

SPEAKER_01 17:04

Positividad. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

So afrontas los uh las situations of the vida, no?

SPEAKER_01 17:19

Yo tenía un año, um rápido. Un año yo tuve la meta de no quería repetir un restaurante in Nueva York.

SPEAKER_00 17:32

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

Y por eso yo tenía una lista y necesité mantener la lista. Okay, yo fui aquí, yo fui aquí, ando repité. No repetí un restaurante or in the city. No faltar restaurantes in one año, por cierto. Antes de el callejón.

SPEAKER_00 18:21

Antes del callejón, antes del callejón. Ponía atención.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

Ponía atención in the calles. But when I was coming out, I was like, oh, yeah, it's a cafe or regression.

SPEAKER_00 19:13

No duplicados. This is very impression, Michelle. And comedians are different. It's diverse. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. Yeah, I think I'm saying this in the front, in the Honduras, and all these methods or something in this year. And one is similar to what you mentioned. I'm going to visit more in the presentation. Because you have this tendency too much in the future, what will be my next move, my proximity. And this causes a little stress and anxiety. And I try to try to start more present in okay, in the things that I can control, and not in the things that I don't control in the future, because I can do incertidumbre what will happen, because we don't know what will happen, exactly. We can prepare us, but not with what will occur in the future. It's very difficult because you know I have family in Canada, in Toronto, and I have family in Honduras. And I need to have a look different, concerning a culture different, community different, a city or a lot of noise. For example, in Europa I have much of visiting Turkey. Nunca I visited Islandia and I encourage senderism, and the natural in Islandia. But including in Stars, I mean visit a city, which not. Nashville is very common, but I visited Nashville. And much cities like St. Louis and Missouri or including Pittsburgh here in Players.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

Nunca has been a Pittsburgh.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

But it was practically not. From a road trip after many years.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

No, but no, no, see, when you fui a guate for the primer el Vocán, usé el traje, la ropa es muy ligera y um fácil de empacar. Y por eso yo los use, pero no has no los ha usado in los estados.

SPEAKER_00 25:09

Todavía no. Pero lo tienes ahí. Hay una de mis frases favoritas in español, por si acaso, just in case.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

Por si acaso, me encanta esta frase.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

Por si acaso lo tienes ahí, este traje just in case.

SPEAKER_01 25:25

Pero eso es un trap. Porque con esta frase es posible comprar o like hang on to cosas que no necesitas. Ahora tienes un cuarto lleno de cosas que nunca usas.

SPEAKER_00 25:50

Un closet que nunca usas. Artículos o prendas.

SPEAKER_01 25:55

Yo compré durante la pandemia cuando todos había cerrados. Pero um comer al fuera. And in the invierno, estaba frio, pero compré un traje como un sleeping bag, pero con pantalones. And uh usaba uh during the pandemic, and now I don't know what's incredible.

SPEAKER_00 26:38

It's like the pandemic was six years, no? I recuered one in Toronto in Canada, and it was in a year, Michelle. And I thought not in Fahrenheit, in Celsius, in centigrado, it was like 27 hours. And I was disperse for starting away. And I have a trick on a bar, but that was away, you know?

unknown 27:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:11

And there were calefactors and structures of matters.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 27:23

And I reckon I ordered an old fashioned of my cocktail, and I saw in a minute, and I was and I saw three old fashions, and the phone disappeared from my life, and I didn't know it's ridiculous. No, there were days very difficult. But for sure, we were and uh coming or being. But yeah, this were one of my resolutions that I had for this week, and quite one that I mentioned, which is one of the most important to work with among them in the podcast and preparing material, have conversations interesting and relevant for that people who escuch a good moment and practical. And I'm going to have more invitations. In our episode, we have in the episode we have my among student today, Spencer Rice. And we're going to have more presentations, no Michelle, for this new year that we are.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

Yeah, I disfruted the entrepreneur, but the charge with Spencer.

SPEAKER_00 28:44

Um, no, I've escuched much of it.

unknown 28:51

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 29:16

Uh with my hermanita, and I would say when Michelle regresses of Guatemala and Medellin, we're going to have an special Entre Miguel in the concierge of Bad Bunny. You think we're gonna have a bomb in this episode, no Michelle?

SPEAKER_01 29:41

You had the meta of memorizing the letters of the cancel of Bad Bunny, but 10 or 11 days, and it's possible because it's a little difficult. But um yeah, I'm gonna practic me in Colombia. I'm gonna record me the phrases and other places. In other places, and yeah, and my hermanita nunca, and I would say the city. You know, the saludos. Yeah, the saludos and numerous um, but no lista and via contigo and English in Colombia, but you're ready, Colleen.
