Hi guys welcome back to the Cheers podcast I'm your host Avery Woods, and we're calling this week therapy session.

I told Scott that, well we took last week off, so sorry about that.

I was what felt like on my literal death bed I was so

sick and we were gonna record a solo episode and I couldn't get out of bed for

almost a week so a lot has happened in the last two weeks in my life and it's so interesting because I feel like I've always

talked about a lot of positivity in my life, but I haven't really, you know, talked about my childhood or things that maybe I've gone through or experienced.

I feel like I try to be a happy positive person.

I feel like a lot of people run to negativity on social media,

whether they're like basking in it or want attention

and I never want to be that person.

I just want to freely speak.

But I also want to be honest

and I've always held that very close to my heart where I want to be my true

authentic self no matter what and I just feel like there's a lot of things in my life that I've never really spoken about.

And also I think about, you know, when my kids are older and I don't know, whatever they choose to discover discover find about their mom on the internet but

You know there's things that have made me the way that that I am and I've gone to a point where you know I used to be such a people

please or I wanted everyone to like me and it was so hard for me at first when I

gained this huge audience when I realize it's not possible for everyone to like me and that's okay, but I've just learned lately to just not give a fuck about what anyone has to say about me, what their opinion is,

and the things I want to talk about today are really vulnerable and things that I would have never chosen to share in the past because I knew how much hate would come with it or that people would use it against me.
