The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Hi, everyone.

How are you?

I'm doing great. It is the Monday after the holiday party, which is on

Saturday. A lot of you were in my DMs asking questions. So I thought I would recap it.

We'll make this like a little quick, fun, chic solo.

You got a solo two weeks in a row, which makes me feel very exposed.

But thank you so much for listening.

And all your feedback on my episode last week was really nice.

So every year we have a holiday party.

The genesis of the holiday party has always been around the LPA holiday collection,

but because it's in our home, because Dauvada is here, because it's not just like activation with girls, you know, because listen, obviously I have to promote the clothes and I want to because I love them and they're really meaningful for me, but you know, because, listen, obviously I have to promote the clothes and I want to

because I love them and they're really meaningful for me. But, you know, we have to figure out

really good ways to market them. And so I'm just going to be honest with you. And I hate if this

sounds like in any way negative and we all have to do it and I'm going to continue to do it so I get it.

But like, you know, we are in this era of like trying to figure out how to like promote our brands.

And a lot of that like manifests into like a dinner.

And for me, this is why like I never go to events at the end of a very long workday and then, like, trying to get in time with my kids and, like, you know, I have a rule about missing dinner, bath, and bed with them.

Which I work my schedule around that, but, like, I don't ever want to miss.

I mean, if we have a bunch of work

stuff to do, like the max I'll miss a week is two bedtimes, but I usually am able to plan everything

around it. But anyway, I digress. There are lots of like dinner activations that happen all the time.
