Welcome to another episode of Out of the Podods, I'm Deep Tea.

And I'm Natalie and happy Monday our pod besties.

I am in Seattle right now, so we are recording virtually.

I actually want to provide our pod best season update

because I feel like we are so open with you guys.

But my grandma passed away a few days ago actually a few days after we recorded last week's

episode and so I decided to go to Seattle to be with my cousins. I have a

cousin who lives out here so most of my cousins came out here just to bond and

guys I think everyone goes through like a loss of life and it's really tough to deal

yeah this episode is an honor of my grandmother.

Oh I love that and I think we talked about this last episode too when we were

talking about my uncle that you know when tragedy like that

So yeah, I'm glad you got out. Well, what was really fun is I was hiking in the North

Cascades yesterday with my cousins and I met a few pot besties and that was really
