What is up, you guys?

Welcome to the very first episode of our brand new podcast.

We're so excited to be here with you and finally recording something that real people are going to hear.

It's going to be a fun time.

We are your host.

My name is Christy. And hey guys, how's it going? I'm It's going to be a fun time. We are your host. My name is

Christy. And hey guys, how's it going? I'm your host, Sierra. Fingers crossed. That is our name. That is what we are doing here today. We are crossing fingers. That's what we're doing. Truly. We are making a podcast kind of on the theme of hoping for the best and preparing for the worst in your 20s. So that's where the name, fingers crossed, kind of comes from. It's just like a whole

sentiment. of hoping for the best and preparing for the worst in your 20s. So that's where the name

fingers crossed kind of comes from. It's just like a whole sentiment of we don't know what the hell

is going on. We're faking it until we make it, but our fingers are crossed along the way.

So it ends with optimism and that's important. There's confusion and chaos, but most importantly,

optimism. We have been talking about making a podcast for months. I feel like that's kind of the story of everyone who makes a podcast. They're always thinking about it. And they're always like, oh, maybe I should. And I literally was texting Sierra every other month for the past year. Like, hey, so about this podcast? Do you want to do a podcast? And then we would come up with like two ideas. Yeah, that sounds great. Like, uh-huh, like I'll check out these podcast links you sent me. Yeah, we'll get on that. And then just radio silence for the next two months. And then we'd repeat the cycle. It was a great cycle. But then the cycle was broken by we both are pretty busy. We do other things. We do social media, but also we're pursuing other careers where you both

had jobs. We both were juggling multiple things on our plates. And so it was always kind of like a pipe dream.

But finally, our dear friend, the coronavirus, came around and gave us all of this free time that,

you know what? We had no other excuse that's a podcast. I went from having three jobs to having no jobs. And here we are.

I really have all the time in the world to pursue our pipe dream and make this podcast.

So basically we're just going to be talking about all of the things that are thrown at you

in your 20s and the things you go through and experiences that you might not have had any idea

or going to be thrown at you and challenges that

we're all faced with that we just wanted to sit down and tell our stories about things that we've

done, things that we've learned, things that we really kind of messed up that we wish we could

go back and change, but we can all learn from our mistakes together. Absolutely. And we can laugh at
