| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the French Kiss Life podcast, all about living with more elegance, style, |
| 0:06.9 | and joie de vivre in your everyday life. I'm T you're having a lovely day. Today's podcast is a little bit |
| 0:34.5 | different because it was something that I was determined to not talk about, |
| 0:39.2 | but I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. So today we are going to be talking about |
| 0:44.7 | politics, passion, and personal development. Oh my. So I think regardless of who you're voting |
| 0:53.2 | for, we can agree that there's been more than enough |
| 0:55.7 | set on this topic. However, I have been asked by many of my readers and clients, how are you |
| 1:02.6 | handling this crazy political season? So let me say a few words before we dive in. First, this is not a podcast about my personal political |
| 1:13.3 | views. So if you're listening to this just to figure out who I'm voting for, you're going to be |
| 1:17.9 | disappointed because I keep some things in my secret garden and that happens to be one of them. |

| 1:43.7 | never claimed to be one. |
| 1:45.4 | This is not my purpose in this lifetime, but I am an activist of sorts. |
| 1:50.9 | My activism is completely focused on inspiring women from around the world to French |
| 1:56.1 | kids' life, to stop placing their worth on pushing harder and jamming more into their lives, and instead |
| 2:03.3 | to embrace a life of elegance, style, and joie de vivre. So here goes. Something has gone very, very |
| 2:12.3 | wrong during this political season. Initially, I had wanted to call this podcast, everybody calm the hell down, |
| 2:20.0 | but I realized that that's not the real issue this political season. It's so much deeper. I have seen |
| 2:27.7 | 20-year-old friendships end. I've witnessed ugly personal attacks play out on social media. I've watched violence unfold on |
| 2:36.8 | our streets. I've seen adults act like little toddlers having temper tantrums. It really feels like |
