I'm Emily Shram, the ultimate Meathead Hippie. Welcome to the show.

What's up everybody? Welcome back to another Meathead Hippie podcast. I'm your host, Emily

Shram. I am on day two of a little podcast-a-thon. And this podcast-a-thon is ultimately just a way to finally pump out these amazing podcasts that I have that I filmed. But I just haven't had energy to post about them or share them. And the longer I took to edit them and take,

I was like, what am I doing?

Just hit record and just do it.

So here we are, Emily, just doing it.

I am taking a little bit of a hibernation.

And granted, that doesn't mean much.

It just means I'm not sharing a lot of what's going on in my head and in the work life that I'm in right now, which is such a good thing.

I think it's just kind of reevaluating what I like, what I don't like, what I want to do.

I think I just needed to feel like I could take a break and defining what that is is still yet to be determined, but there

is something happening and it's a good thing. And if you are interested in learning about

hibernating or rest or all the things that I kind of just explained about giving yourself

permission, then go listen to my hybrid A podcast that was yesterday.

We have so many different things happening every day. So the podcastathon is just a way for me

to pump this out, but ultimately all of them are so excitingly detailed. So this one is more

of this really good heart-to- to heart great conversation with two people that

actually gave me my podcast, Mike, to start Meathead Hippie.

So it's just, it was a full circle.

We haven't talked a long time.

We caught up on a lot of things.

It was awesome.
