| 0:00.0 | Sarah, this is such a joy and privilege and honor for me to have you on my podcast today. |
| 0:13.0 | For anyone who isn't familiar with you, can you give just a little intro of who you are and what you do? |
| 0:18.4 | Yeah. So I'm Sarah Nicole Landry. I mostly people know me as |
| 0:22.6 | the birds papaya. I made that handle 17 years ago and it has followed me along like a little |
| 0:28.1 | puppy ever since. So I go by both, but I have been a 17 year creator and I have, there's many |
| 0:36.9 | versions of me that people have come to know over the years but one of the |
| 0:40.9 | most important ones and what I love to be known for is helping other sort of like get unstuck |
| 0:47.9 | from whatever thing that makes them feel like they can't take the step to do the cool thing in life or say |
| 0:55.0 | yes to that thing or put on the swimsuit and whatever that is in the most gentle way possible |
| 0:59.5 | because I get it and I've been there. And so it's been a 17 year journey to doing the |
| 1:05.7 | uncomfortable things and doing it scared and trying to inspire others to do the same. I love that. Can you tell me about |
| 1:13.8 | have you ever gotten like a DM or have you ever had a moment where you're like, I really helped |
| 1:18.9 | that person do that thing that just felt really rewarding that you can. Yeah. Yeah. I actually had a |
| 1:24.0 | plane moment and I don't know why this one like I've had so many interactions with so many different people over the years. And it's interesting because you're sharing your |
| 1:31.3 | story and you don't really know the impact. Like, yeah, you can see how many people liked it and |
| 1:35.2 | shared it and all the stuff. But like actual tangible impact, you don't always see it or get to |
| 1:40.1 | experience it. And so I've had so many different amazing interactions, but this one always |
| 1:46.6 | stands out for me. Maybe because it was one of the earlier ones. And I was on a plane and this |
| 1:52.1 | woman stopped and she in the aisle and she leaned down to me. And she was like, I just really want |
| 1:57.2 | to thank you for what you do because I'm on this trip because of you. And I was like, rewind. I need you to explain yourself. And she's like, I've just had two babies. And she's like, I kept feeling like I had to be at a certain point of how I would look before I would take this trip with my husband and my kids. And she's like, I realized how much like life was happening. I don't even know what all she said. But essentially, she was like, I bought swimsuits. I packed the bags. We're on this airplane. And you're on the airplane. And she's like, and I can't, I can't tell you what it means to be able to thank you personally. And I never saw it again. And I don't, I've never found her in my DMs. I have no idea how her vacation went. I imagine beautifully. But I think that one really stood |
| 2:38.6 | out to me because it was just a tangible moment where I'm like, you're telling. And because I felt |
| 2:44.1 | it, because I was in that exact place of I'm uncomfortable in my body postpartum or after change. |
