Hello, bienvenito.

Welcome one and all to a brand spanking new episode. Fresh at the kitchen, we've been cooking in La Cucina, a delicious fiesta platter, like a sizzling fajita platter ready for you to sink your teeth into of the low-life podcast. It's a delicious episode. It's filled with some laughs. I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, white wine drinking,

tucky finger licking, ice coffee sipping, Coke Zero Craven, hot mess of a host.

Lorenzo von Rumpf. And I am so happy to be here with you today. There is no place I'd

rather be than right here in this moment with you right now. I hope you're having a beautiful day and you've been having a great week so far. But if you're feeling a bit shitty right now, if you're exhausted, if you're feeling depleted, if you're not feeling like the best version of yourself right now while you listen to this, please know that you're not alone in feeling that way. I get it. I've

been there. There are moments when I feel like I'm circling the drain. And it's really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're swimming in the darkness, when you feel like shit about yourself. Please know if you are going through that right now, you are going to be okay. let this be the reminder for you that you're going to be okay you've got this this is not a forever feeling

this is not a forever feeling this is right now, you are going to be okay. Let this be the reminder for you that you're going to be

okay. You've got this. This is not a forever feeling. This is temporary. And you are here for a reason.

I love that you're taking some time to listen to a podcast to have some laughs, to escape for a little

bit. It's doing something for you. And so many people that listen to this podcast are taking care of other people.

They're filling everybody else's cups that we so often neglect ourselves. We forget to take care

of home base. We have to take care of ourselves. We have to recharge our own life batteries once

in a while. We've got to take those walks, get in those steps, drink the water, escape for an hour and have some laughs.

And so it makes me very happy that you're here right now.

I was talking to one of my girlfriends, and she's really going through it right now because she's bummed.

She's not in the financial place that she wants to be in this particular phase of her life.

So she has a set plan for herself.

She thought she'd be making a certain

amount of money by the time she was 42 years old and she hasn't made that money yet. She doesn't

have the family that she wanted yet. And she is stressing out about it was beating herself up a little

bit while we were talking. And I look at this person who is a beautiful friend of mine who has so much going for her.
