0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to Life with Nat.
0:17.5	Nat chats today, a little solo ep, but I'm going to be joined by some listeners.
0:22.8	I just wanted to thank everybody who dropped me a message yesterday to say they are around to have a
0:28.7	chat, because I do feel lately it's brilliant. I have all the family on and we're chatting away,
0:34.9	but kind of the premise of the pod when it started was to include you guys
0:39.4	as much as possible. And I feel because family members, we have lots of sort of running stories,
0:44.8	things that are happening conversations, sometimes I don't get to squeeze in enough of the listeners.
0:50.8	So that's why I like a match chat and I think it's really important. So I thought I'd start
0:55.9	the solo app by telling you about my journey. As you know, she's nine. I've spoke to you before
1:03.0	about her sort of growing up and hormones and stuff and she's been really, really good. But the last
1:09.5	couple of days I've really noticed since being back at school for a week,
1:14.6	I've noticed her becoming more self-conscious and worried about what other people think of her,
1:21.5	which really, really worries me.
1:24.5	Because I don't want anyone to upset her. I don't want her to feel that she's not good
1:30.3	enough within the class or not cool enough. So I'll give you an example this morning. She said,
1:36.0	Mommy, could you do my hair? I said, yeah, no problem. So I go to put it in the usual sort of
1:40.9	plat. And then she said, can you just do something interesting? Because my hair looks really boring compared to other people's. And I said, well, you are going to school. It's not a fashion parade. So anyway, she's done a platt and then she's put it in a crocodile clip, which looks a bit absurd, but she thinks it's more interesting. And it makes her more interesting. Then we're on
2:02.7	the way to school and she said, this bag, this bag, I need to get a black one. I want a grey one or a
2:08.1	black one. I just need, this is sort of a summary one and it is, it is bright pink, it's a smiggle
2:13.1	one, it's got tropical theme. But I just think, wow, where's this come from?
2:19.6	Why do you care what bag you've got?
2:22.4	So anyway, I will help her.
