Hey guys, I'm your host, Mary, and you're listening to Prologs.

When my brain starts spiraling at a million

miles per minute, I find it helpful to zoom out and remind myself that I am still at the beginning

of my story. Prologs is a place to get really comfortable with not having everything figured out,

but still trusting in the beauty to come. And whether we're talking about mental health,

relationships, wellness, or just the

absolute chaos of being in your 20s, I hope these next moments are your reminder to take life

as it comes. On to the episode.

Hello, hello. Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of prologs. I'm kind of getting in my groove now. It's starting to feel a little more comfortable on this closet floor, although I'm not going to lie. I asked you guys on my Instagram stories if you wanted a video format, and a lot of you said that you really would

like to see me develop a video version of the podcast in the future. So in order to do that,

I think I need to move to a studio. But for right now, we're still in the closet. I'm actually

recording this the day before you're hearing it. I'm recording it on Sunday because I did not

manage my time very well this week,

this past week. I got back from L.A. on Tuesday. L.A. was really good for me. It was good for me.

It pushed me out of my comfort zone a lot. I did a lot of very social, very networky things.

I met probably 110 people. And that's a lot for me. I'm so

introverted and I feel like it seems counterintuitive to say that like content creator or someone

who puts their life out on social media is actually very private and very introverted. But I really am.

I get nervous. I get so anxious.

And I had to calm myself down all of last week in Los Angeles. But I did it. And I'm happy that I went

because it ended up being good for my career. I went to some events. I was able to spend some

good time with my manager, who I love, all around good stuff.
