Yay!

Cheryl Strait is back.

Cheryl Strad is the author of the number one New York Times bestseller Wilde, from Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail, which has sold more than four million copies worldwide and was made into an Oscar-nominated film starring Lee's Witherspoon.

Her best-selling collection of Dear Sugar Columns, Tiny Beautiful Things, one of my favorites, was adapted for a newly released

television show starring Catherine Hahn and is available now for streaming on Hulu.

Strait is also the author of the critically acclaimed novel Torch and the best-selling collection

Brave Enough.

She lives in Portland, Oregon.

And if you have not listened to our first episodes

with Cheryl, they were amazing. So go back and check out episodes 118 and 119. I love you so much.

You know this. And I'm now even more obsessed. And I have to say Amanda, one of my favorite episodes is like the All About Amanda episode.

Did you relate to that one, Cheryl?

I did.

Well, namely because I have spent my life as a flirt, too.

But I have to say, I'm reformed.

And I'm more like Abby now because you can only play with fire for so long,

kids, without getting burned. Yeah. This is a follow-up episode I need to have with you.

But Abby, you know, what Abby said, I was like, oh, I so relate to that. That idea of like,

you know, here we are launching into this flirtation thing. I'm sure that's not what you guys wanted to talk about right off the back. Yeah, it is. We love it.

It's what I want to talk about, Cheryl. Yeah. But like what Abby was saying was like you realized like, okay, you've got to flirt responsibly. You know, the energy. People misinterpret it. Yeah. That's right. Flirts responsibly. I feel like that's kind of like drink

responsibly. Some of us can. Some of us never can again. That's true. That's true. So mad at everyone who can

drink responsibly. If I were not an alcoholic, Cheryl, I would drink every damn day.
