0:04.3	Welcome to RealPod. It's your host, Victoria Garrick Brown, and this is the podcast where we hold nothing back.
0:11.4	Oh, so we're getting deep, huh? I really cried for 12 days straight.
0:15.9	Why do I want to be perfect? There's nothing in my life that is perfect.
0:19.3	Every week, I'll bring you honest, unfiltered,
0:22.0	and eye-opening conversations to help uncover the real in all of us. I crave the type of content
0:27.5	that you're talking about. I actually felt insecure. Oh my God, I'm not going to cry. Let me just
0:31.8	unload everything. New episodes every Wednesday. Leave those filters at the door because it's time to get real.
0:44.5	I'm so excited. I've been trying not to talk to you all day because we just had to save everything for the pod.
0:50.6	We had to save everything. We couldn't, we couldn't just be yapping by ourselves. We had to get the people what they wanted. And they want you. They want the new Mrs. Aubrey Wood. Did you change your name? That's one of the questions I had. So as you guys know, I'm very impulsive and very type B. And I was like, oh, I'll just change my name.

1:48.2	love and you think about having kids and starting your own family, it's like you all just want to be
1:52.1	under the same little umbrella, you know? It's such a tough thing because you honestly just have to do
1:58.9	what makes you feel best.
2:07.2	I was also like thinking about how different it would be if I was the last to carry my last name.
2:08.8	I think I might feel differently. But I have two little brothers who are going to keep it going, you know?
