Hello, everyone and welcome to the Evolve with Emily Show. I'm your host, Emily Hayden. And for today's

episode, we have a really fun episode. I wanted to change things up a little

bit and do a get to know me Q&A. So this is going to be a bunch of questions that you guys asked on

my Instagram story. And I'm basically just going to answer as many as I possibly can. I asked you

guys to ask fun, lighthearted type of questions. So I'm going to skip over all of the

serious or super personal ones because I really just wanted it to be like more fun and lighthearted.

And honestly, you guys hear one, one hour of my conversation every single week. There's so many

other like aspects to me. There's so much more that I like to talk

about that I like to do. Honestly, I'm kind of funny, but, like, it's kind of hard to be funny on your own,

you know, and you're just, like, I'm sitting in my room talking to myself right now on this podcast.

So I don't know. I was like, I need some inspiration, some ways to like draw out different sides of me.

So I'm hoping that your questions can help do that. So before we get started, I'm just going to do a

rapid fire, a few quick facts or things about me. So I am currently 28 years old. My birthday is on June 15th,

1991. Shout out to all my Geminies. We are beautifully crazy.

I am one of six kids, so I grew up in a big household. Five of us are the originals, and then we have two step-sisters at the bottom, but we don't like consider them step. They're just like our sisters, just like anything else. But we are a blended family. Let's see, I grew up in Houston, Texas. I am going on my

sixth year out here in Los Angeles, California. I absolutely love it. I originally fell in love

with California when I visited San Diego and I knew that I had to live here one day. I decided to try it out

for one year and if it didn't work, I was going to move back to Texas and basically start over.

I had no shame. I was young. I was like, I have nothing to lose. So I came out here and here we are.

I'm going on my sixth year. I can't believe it. My sixth year in May, actually. So I'm really excited about that. I have a fur baby named

Vinny. You guys know him if you follow me on Instagram or on YouTube. He is the most precious thing in my life.

I'm making eye contact him with him right now. He's the most precious things in my life. And I love him more than words can ever even describe. You are perfect. You're literally perfect.
