Hey, what's going on? Super grateful that you're here. I was going to say pumped, but it bugs me when

to hear a podcasters say, I'm super excited because like, are they excited? I don't know. Can you be

excited every single time you record a podcast? I'm grateful to record a podcast. I suppose there are some

guests that I get super excited, but I just need another word.

And that word today is grateful.

I'm grateful that you're here.

I'm grateful that you saw the title.

And you want to spend some time with me talking about this.

All right, let's do this.

I don't know if you're listening today because you just did a search and found this episode in the podcast app and it's the first time you've ever

listened to the Shalene show or if you're a regular listener and you read the title and you thought

to yourself, yeah, this is one I need to hear because it's something you're going through right now

or it's something you've gone through in the past, but everyone has experienced this. Yeah, it's negativity. It's a negative energy,

that's for sure. But what I'm talking about is when you feel like someone who matters,

and it's not supposed to matter to us when it's someone who doesn't matter. You know what I mean?

Like we shouldn't be bothered if a stranger doesn't like our outfit. We shouldn't care if some troll on the internet wants to say something rude, but it still does. And certainly some people let it bother them more than others. And even with celebrities, like lately I've been reading a ton of celebrity autobiographies. I don't know why. Actually, I do know why.

It's because with Audible, every time you finish a book, then it, like, recommends kind of similar books.

And then it's kind of like a YouTube thing. You know how when you watch a YouTube video and then you just keep getting more and more of that same.

I've got to get out of the genre because I feel like I've listened to every celebrity's memoir.

Let me just say, the Rachel Dratch.

You probably don't even recognize that name, but she was on SNL and she was Debbie Downer.

It is one of the funniest memoirs I've ever read.
