| 0:51.8 | Now, my goal is to get rid of society's expectations about where we should be when we're in our 30s and just free ourselves to live the lives that we've always dreamed of. Now, friends, remember, it is never too late. All right. Hey, guys. Welcome back to another episode this week. I'm sitting here with my really good friend, Janine, that I've been trying to get her on the show for probably long time. Since the inception of the show. But she cancels all the time. She's like, don't worry, maybe tomorrow. Okay, maybe the next day. How about Friday? This is, let's just, let's talk on the show. But we're here. We are. And we're going to be really excited. I've known Janine since 2010, 11? No, back. Yo, Antigua Day. That's 10 for me. Oh, yo, shout out to Chris. Hollywood, yes. That was, yeah, 10, 11 for sure. That was what the magic was good.

But before we get onto it, because she's actually, she's pretty special. I'm not going to hyper-uble too much, but she is. We're going to go on to our show you should know real quick. And May pulled out something kind of cool. And I actually have been seeing it around because TikTok kind of like exploded out of nowhere. and I don't know where TikTok came from honestly. I've actually never even done a TikTok. So I did them because of Ayanna. So we know we got to the TikTok dancing and I was like breaking it down. You know what I'm saying?
