| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome to fat mascara. Okay, I hope you've been enjoying the episodes because I've loved creating them for you. |
| 0:13.8 | Now, write me, tell me what you think, open to feedback. And if you needed somebody to bust open to the door, |
| 0:22.4 | Kat wrote me, who was Kat. |
| 0:25.9 | She is one of our great listeners. I've never heard from you, Kat, before, but apparently you're a listener. Thank you. And she had some feedback about Andrea Laventhal's episode. So on Andrea |
| 0:32.6 | Laventhal's episode, that was our newsroom episode where I bring in a journalist. We shoot the breeze. We cover |
| 0:37.9 | hot topics. But one topic that was especially hot for Kat was the mommy makeover topic. |

| 1:31.8 | And maybe we can expand that conversation around makeovers and also include them. |
| 1:37.9 | So I would love to hear from any listeners who have looked at themselves in the mirror like that |
| 1:43.5 | and made some sort of change to their |
| 1:45.4 | appearance. What was the driving force? What was the impetus? What was happening in your life? |
| 1:50.4 | Was it a new job? Divorce? Some sort of spiritual awakening? I don't know. Was it entering a new |
| 1:56.8 | decade? Was it saying goodbye to something? I don't know. But I'm really curious because I thought |
