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

Hello, how are you doing? I'm a bit snuffly, so I apologize in advance if I sound a little bit nasally or

frothy. I've got a busy few days actually because we're heading off to Amsterdam for about

24 hours at that that's probably about 30 hours or so for my brother's 40th birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise

originally but my mom let the cat out of the bag. But he doesn't know about

some of the other people that are coming along with us. So it's still going to be

They're still going to have the surprise factor in there. So I'm looking forward to that although it is going to be

But he had a bit hectic and there's a bit of organization and running around in advance of that.

Aside from that, I am also going to be teaching around about a hundred children about how to journal. So different clever ways to journal to help them to sort of take

care of their emotional and mental well-being as part of a wellness week at my youngest daughter's school and I'm really

excited about doing that although I imagine I'm probably going to need to have a lie down

after spending the day with all of those kids. Something else that's in the works is I am planning to have M on an

episode with me probably in the next sort of month or so. This is something that if you're

a long time listener I mentioned that I would do

ages ago it was always my intention to get him on at least once or certainly get them on

occasionally you know he actually is hilarious and he has some really good insights as well into

relationships and so you know my friends you know do you talk to him about

relationship stuff as well and in fact we we even went on a double date last month which was very

entertaining we realized we've quite enjoyed being almost like chaperones or I don't know sort of

doing our own live dating shows that was pretty entertaining and I'm sure we'll talk about that

when he comes on and so I haven't went out the nitty grities of it all yet and if there's

anything in particular that you would like to ask, then do please, you know, get in touch and include all of my contacts on the show notes as usual if you have any suggestions for the episode.
