Welcome to the Curious Me podcast with your host Mindy Muslimin and Emily Fersela. Do you ever say to yourself, I wonder, if you've got questions about life, we do too. On each episode, we dive into the things that make us say, hmm. So let's scratch that curiosity itch and dive into today's show. Hey, guys, thanks for joining us today on Curious Me podcast with Mindy and Emily.

We are going to talk today about how to create a more positive mindset because after the

year we've all gone through, the negativity kind of seeps in a little bit and you just got to

stop yourself and say, okay, it's time to be a little bit more positive

and there are great ways to do that. So we're going to talk about that. So Emily, what's new with

you? Anything going on in the world of paper and plan co? Yeah. We just dropped a bunch of new items

yesterday. So I'm excited about that. And then, I mean, we're just working. We got a lot of stuff happening. Academic planners and stuff. Sorry, I'm trying to scan this barcode in for my food tracker. What is that? These? Yeah. There's little goldfish cracker snack size thing. I was trying to get it scanned in, but there's a glare on it. Sorry. You all know we love our snacks.

And we're not wearing the headsets today so we can snack.

Yeah, I haven't eaten yet today.

So I was like starving.

I was getting the shakes and stuff. And I was like, it's late. I know. Well, I usually don't eat soup, but I usually have like a bar or protein shake or something. but I had nothing today because I just been like going and that's what I was like, that's when I

I wrote text you whenever you were up here. I was like, hey, do you need a drink or snack?

Because like I'm thinking like, I'm definitely getting a snack.

Because I'm bringing steak and a potato up oh my gosh that sounds fabulous too but um no nothing is super new besides just new products and stuff but yeah we had a lot of snow here happen it's been I mean the whole country has been like under a ton of which is wild. And usually we get, you know, weather. We're in the Midwest. We have all seasons. But it has been an extended week of really cold. Yeah. And me being terrified to go down our driveway. You guys, Mindy, whenever, you guys have listened for years. Mindy's driveway is like literally no joke. I'm not just saying like, oh it it's steep. It's where when you're driving up her driveway, and I have a big SUV. She drives a big SUV. But when you're driving up, it's like so steep where you can only see the hood of your car. You can't even see the road or the surroundings under it. I'm not even exaggerating because it's like so you're driving up a mountain to her house yeah so I actually think

about you every time it gets bad weather because not just going up but coming down because the way

there are driveway is you get to the bottom of the hill it's not just like straight you got to go

down and curve and they have a gated driveway as well and they could just call them yeah you you will

go right into yeah if you do not turn it like the drive will go straight into that big column. Yeah. So I feel for everybody driving around in this slick weather, I like break a sweat, like just going down the driveway. And, you know, it actually took me about a minute and a half to drive down it today. No way. It's not that long. It's not long. It's just steep as heck. But I was going so slow. Yeah. And I like feel like the sweat beads like forming on my forehead like don't slide. Don't slide.

No. Yeah. So I will be I'm always been like a summer spring girl and I you're a water baby. This just solidifies that for me. Yeah. Summer and spring are the best times of year in the Midwest. It's funny because we had, it was zero degrees here and it was like negative 20 degrees,

is what it felt like with the wind chill.

And so that was one day.

And it was like, you guys, if you are from Missouri or, you know, you get snow.
