Hi, you guys, and welcome back to the Sad to Savage podcast. I'm your host, Shelby Sacco, and I am so happy that you guys are here, truly.

Today's episode was supposed to be advice that I would give each of my siblings at each other different life stages,

but I actually had something happen earlier today that I wanted to talk about first. That episode, I am going to push out to next week.

I actually really love it. So don't worry. It's still going to air. I just last minute decided I

wanted to go with something else. This morning, I made an awful mistake and that mistake was

going on Reddit and reading some pretty mean things written

about me. And I want to use this situation really just to share a few things that I've learned

that have helped me in tougher times and just harder life moments that I just want to give my

perspective on. The title of this episode is something that I've been saying to myself.

Anytime something in my life feels like it's going wrong, you can take one hour to crash out. And I say it like a parent to myself, just like that.

Like you can take one hour to crash out. That's it. I'm not kidding. Something will happen in my life.

I'll tell myself that and I will listen. To me, what that means is when shit hits the van,

when someone says something about

you, someone does something to you, something crazy is happening, you can be a human and you can react.

You can have emotion. You can cry, scream, feel all the self-pity in the world, truly crash out

in a safe way, of course. And then when that hour is done, so are you. Once that hour is up, you are moving on,

and you're moving on in the healthiest and happiest way that you possibly can manage. You want to be that

best version of you. What would they do? You cope with what has happened, but in an intentional and

healthy way. Now, some crashouts are going to be worse than others.

And don't I know it, actually?

Maybe one day it's breaking your favorite coffee cup

and just being so upset about it,
