| 0:21.8 | the same. I don't know where I was going with that one. That was like that was like the interpretive dance of intros interpretive vocals. Yes, interpretive vocals. I was just feeling it. I was just going to take seeing where it led me. Well led you to episode 349. Hello, Brainiacs. Hello, friends. We've missed you. I don't want to speak for Sarah. I did. Well, I missed you. You can speak for both of us. Yeah, we missed you. Okay. Yeah, you're here. What's going on? |
| 0:51.8 | On over there. Oh, man. I'm doing okay, except they have a plant that when I came back home from our trip, I tried to save it. It's not going so well. And it's been a long time since I had a plant that I had to throw out. It just got real droopy. I think I left it in the sun. Too much. It got too much sun. And it has been a long time. So I'm like nursing it back to health. It feels like my real project right now. Yeah, don't get rid of that thing. No, I'm going to I'm going to nurse it back to life. But you know, that's like the only big thing going on with me. Wow. That's like trying to start up my career. |
| 1:21.8 | I'm trying to start up my clinical practice. Never think it's going well. I've had a few brain candy brainiacs that have reached out. And you know, just people who have listened to the show and then like, I think I'm going to give this therapy thing a shot. I think that's always a wonderful thing. And I encourage anybody who's listening and in California. And in need of therapy, I can do it online or in person. And we can help make you feel better. Wow. Amen. Let's hope so. Anyway. |
| 1:51.8 | Yeah, that's I would feel so weird though if I were therapisting brainiacs. Well, you know, it's like anything else. If I were a I don't know, a plumber and had a plumbing podcast and you needed help with that, I'd, you know, you can hire me. Oh, yeah, I said, ported. I just am saying I would feel weird. Yeah, well, you know, I talked about this with my supervisor and with a few other people in the business. And and we were saying one of the most important things about. |
| 2:21.8 | About success and therapy is feeling like you and your therapist like vibe that you guys are the same kind of person who like they get you, they understand you, you know, you have a good connection. You don't have to be the same kind of person, but you know, just have a good therapeutic. |
| 2:38.8 | Like connection. That's a good point. Yeah. And so when we were talking, we're saying like, it's great when they are people who've listened to the show because you know what you're getting like. |
| 2:49.8 | Right. We have the same ideas like I see you. You've like listen, you know what might take on things like maybe some things are going to be. And you're like, Hey, I see how she's handled problems. I see how the vice she gives to just like, you know, hypothetical situations. And I think she can help me. Then we are going to have. |
| 3:08.8 | We are more likely, you know, based on what the research shows to have successes working together. Wow. That's great. I get what you're saying to you. They already know whether they jive with your style. |
| 3:21.8 | Yeah. You know, I was thinking about that and writing like my bio for, you know, the website and everything. And there's like a you can like talk like a therapist like right out of a book of like, you know, I want to make sure that we bubble. |
| 3:33.8 | I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there. I'm not there.

| 4:03.8 | people. I can only do so much. So get it while people that's what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping for some people from the show that will be like, Hey, I'd like to talk with you, given that we don't have a dual relationship. I thought it was funny how, you know, whenever we talked about your divorce and then it got picked up by some outlets and stuff, I thought it was funny how they always use my my bio as my actual title. Like they call me a recovery. |
| 4:33.8 | ring reality TV star. Oh my gosh. Really funny. Oh my God. And then you'll |
| 4:40.8 | factor it. It's true. I am. But I just wouldn't think they would put that. |
| 4:44.9 | Right. That's funny though. Now it's like, oh, maybe maybe you make that bio sound real fancy. |
| 4:49.6 | Put that every time. Yeah. It should be like president of the United States of America. |
| 4:54.8 | Yeah. My name is Kraft Queen. So I don't know if I want them. They should use that. |
| 5:01.1 | Right. Sarah Kraft Queen. That would be funny. I feel like you almost fell off the Kraft |
| 5:07.6 | wagon though, because you're not really a big into that right now. Oh yeah. I took a |
| 5:12.1 | little bit of a break, but I find ways to be crafty in like other, or like creative in other ways. |
