Okay, hello everyone. So today's episode is definitely going to be a little different.

As some of you may know, back like two months ago Rachel offered me an incredible job in L.A.

I had just moved from L.A. back to Virginia in August to try and kind of get my life together a little bit.

And then in January Rachel gave me an incredible call and asked me to move back to L.A.

to help work with her, to help her edit her videos, to help her film, to help collab.

And obviously to do the podcast in person.

And so, this is, oh I thought my dog was going to come over to say hi.

She probably will at some point. I'll explain what's going on in a minute.

And if you're listening, I'm sorry for all the chaos if you're not actually watching the YouTube video.

But this is going to be a solo episode because I'm currently, because of this great job that Rachel offered me.

I'm currently driving from Virginia out to California. I'm doing this massive road trip

because I refuse to fly my dog Daisy on an airplane because I'm overly attached to her and I'm scared

she'll die in the cargo hold. Yeah, intrusive thoughts.

And so, I'm in the process of driving from Virginia to California.

We're on day, I want to say six or seven of driving.

And I decided the one fun thing that I wanted to do on my cross country road trip because

every day I've just been booking it. I've been driving like seven hours a day just to hop from

city to city. I'll stop at a hotel, I'll sleep for a little bit and then, you know, I'll wake up six

hours later and then do another seven hour drive. I decided to treat myself. I was like Emily,

you know, by the six or seventh day, you're going to need a little break, you're going to need a little

something to give you pizzazz. So I decided to kind of go off course a little bit and stop at Zion

National Park and hike and explore and just get like back into nature and kind of just like revitalize.
