I'm Natalie Lou and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions.

Hello hello hello.

You know it's funny last week. I obviously did an episode about feeling like a failure.

Thank you to oh my gosh I heard from so many people again Instagram love it that so many of you are on there and

you message me there about how it had really resonated with you everybody really in some way

from happening and we're like oh my god like I'm a bad parent I'm a bad

text us like a week before and we've forgotten to text back when I'm a bad friend or our

boss points out that they need us to do some edits on that particular project.

I'm a bad coworker.
