Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Tryin Hermostis, Sarah Nicole,

and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom

or something like that. So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this

digital space together. Okay, hi, welcome. I'm in, I mean, I want to say sunny Vancouver,

but it's looking a little cloudy today. Yeah. I'm in British Columbia and I'm sitting with,

okay, can I just be honest, I always call you S-S-S-S-S-Mantha. Everyone does. Do they? Everyone does, yeah. Can you explain where all the S's came from? Okay, I have a snake. Oh. Not anymore. Oh, okay. Well, I still have it, but it's at my parents' house. So it's not in the home.

It's not in the home. What's the snake's name? Tang. Okay. Iless like sometimes when there's a snake name like Peter. I'm just like, that makes sense. And we're also sitting here with Alyssa. Hello. Tell me how you guys are like a thing because I'm so excited. I just was on your podcast called Approachable. Yes.

We just went through some major deep dives of things.

We did.

We cried. are like a thing because I'm so excited I just was on your podcast called Approachable yes we just went through some major deep dives of things we did we cried tears were had tears were had I'm so sorry I tend to do that I did that to an Uber driver once I don't realize that I'm I don't realize the power sometimes that I have like I feel like I'm such like a loosey goosey silly person and then every once in a a while I get into these deep dive conversations. And this Uber driver was driving me in L.A. And it was like two hours in traffic. And we're sitting there and we're talking about life and all this stuff. And I said to him, like, I wish somebody had told me that I didn't have to have it all together, that like life could really work out, that even when it like crumbles down to its foundation, that we can like rebuild a stronger one and that we can

really rise out of these ashes of our former life and he's just go silent. And I'm like, oh,

and then like nothing happens and I see him do this. Then he's like, I feel like you were supposed

to be in my Uber today.

And I was like, oh, he's like wiping a tear away. I know. And I like get out of the car and I was like, I gave him a hug because I like didn't know what else to do. And and then I was like, I said to my boss, I'm like, I didn't be the Uber driver. Christ. She's like, what did you do? And I'm like, I think I just gave an inspirational speech I didn't mean to do.

I just love a deep conversation.

But we really did that on yours.

So how do you guys know each other? Tell me this story. Okay. So take her away.

I met, well, yeah, I met Sam in a social studies class for the Americans. What they call it just social, right?

History.

History.

And so I was sat next to Sam and we got paired up as like you meet and greet partner type of

situation.
