You are listening to Over the Influence. I'm your host Arial Lori. I'll be talking to

movers and shakers in the world of wellness and beyond and people who have had their own interesting journey, whether it be physical, mental,

spiritual, or professional. Thanks for joining. Let's get into it.

Hello, hello. Welcome back to the podcast.

I hope everyone's having an amazing week.

Really weird to be sitting here talking in a room all by myself.

I know other people's podcasts are bigger productions and they have people around and there's usually like a producer or an assistant or a co-host and a guest.

But so far, it's just been me in the mic and it feels really awkward, but I don't know why I'm even sharing this.

Maybe I'll edit it out. Maybe I'll keep it.

Because it seems like everyone's been craving some realness, at least over on Instagram.

And yeah, I guess I'm bringing you the realness.

So a little bit of housekeeping. If you don't follow over the influence pod, make sure to follow over on Instagram.

I'll just be putting out some different content and things that align with my

intention for this podcast which is to entertain you but also inform and inspire you the listener to basically live your best life and thrive.

And it's a journey.

It's a journey for me too.

I certainly don't do that every single day

and I'm a work in progress and I'm constantly evolving and I hope I always am. I don't see a finish line. I think if we're not evolving, if we're not growing, if we're not challenging ourselves,

then what? We're stagnant, right? It's not something that I want in my life, even though the growing

and the evolving and the changing can be overwhelming and painful and scary. It's better than the alternative

and that's life. So I'm really excited about today's episode.

I have Brianna Deiorio on.
