0:00.0	Are you someone who doesn't take life too seriously? Do you sometimes find that a shot of whiskey
0:08.1	isn't only deserved but needed? If you said yes to either of those, welcome to the Whiskey and Lace
0:13.2	podcast, where we have honest chats with everyday people, shit shows, and all. I'm your host, Erica
0:18.8	Althus, and I'm here to empower you to be the best
0:21.4	version of yourself and perhaps share in a shot of whiskey. Now pour yourself a glass of wine
0:26.1	and let's go. Hello, everyone and welcome back to another whisking lace podcast. This is a
0:34.0	solo episode today and it's arguably probably one of the most important podcasts that I will ever record.
0:41.5	I've done so many great podcasts, but this one is dedicated to my children.
0:48.1	And it's one that I hope that someday, when I'm long gone, they can listen to it if they're ever feeling down or need

1:30.3	and use it. And if they're ever feeling lost and confused or alone in their life, I'm going to cry.
1:38.8	They can listen to their mama, give them some advice on this podcast. So you guys know if you've been listening for a long
1:46.0	time or watching my Instagram for a long time that one of the things I do every day,
1:51.5	and I've installed this in my children, even though nine times out of ten, they fight me on it,
1:57.0	is always make your bed. Get up and make that bed. That small task sets you up for the rest of your day.
2:05.3	And when you do that small task, like that speech that I've shared many times from, I think it was like a
2:11.6	colonel or something in the military, when you do those small tasks, it sets you up for the
2:17.0	rest of your day to do all the other
