Hi, everybody. It's Meathead Hippie podcast. We're doing things a little differently. I'm your host, Emily Schramm, and it's Thanksgiving week. I have an incredible guest for next week, Morgan King, who is this badass Olympic weightlifter. I just can't wait to interview her. We're going to talk about all the things lifting and snatching and cleaning and jerking. But this week, I just felt, one, just with

the holidays and two, there's like a lot of shit happening in the moon. So whether you believe

in it or not, if people in your life have felt a little crazy or you're crazy, you're not

alone. And I have just gone through some soul searching deep things. And so this

podcast really is just me talking about a little bit of the word vomit, but just stuff that's

heavy on my heart, processes that I've gone through this week. Even though it's subtle and simple,

I feel like there's so much that I want to talk about because I'm going

through some shit and not the bad shit, just things. And when I talk about the things that I'm

going through, I know it hits home for somebody out there and I just feel like I need to say this.

And I think, you know, no matter what stage we are in our life, there's tools. And so this is really

kind of actually,

like, you know how Oprah has her favorite things. It's Emily's favorite things. I have, I wish, I'm actually going to take a picture of this. I'm right next to my sauna with my tarot cards, with this book I'm going to talk about, with my moon book, with my journal, my phone. I just, My mind has been on fire because it's when you feel the things, when you're

like going through the ick. It is just so important to understand that sitting in it and processing

it and diagnosing it is the best way to growth, even though it feels awful at the time. And I've

been somebody that's ran away from anything that felt

constricted or anything that felt icky my whole life. And so being able to sit in it and process

it has brought out so much good. And when I think of just my life in general and it's Thanksgiving

and I turn 30 next month and this whole, I don't know, this whole life thing, I'm just so

incredibly grateful because I am able, this podcast specifically is one of my favorite tools that I

have. It's my favorite tool for my own growth. It's just talking about really cool things with

really great people and then also being able to connect with you guys on your drive while

you're drinking coffee while you're cleaning while you're washing dishes when you guys tag me in
