And I'm so happy to be here with you today.

There is no place I'd rather be than right here in this moment with you right now.

I hope you're having a great day, a beautiful week, and you're feeling good. But if you're feeling a bit off right now, if you're stressed out, or you're anxious, or you're feeling depressed, and life just feels really heavy for you in this moment, don't you worry, boo-boo, don't you fret. You have come to the right place. We're about to turn that frown upside down. We've got a great show in store for you today. This episode will feel like a shot of dopamine right to your ass cheek.

And so now I'm back on it. journaling every night, just a little brain drain moment. And not only helps me to check in with myself to see how I'm feeling, but also is nice to take a bit of an

emotional inventory, relationship inventory. How are you feeling around certain people, jot some

thoughts after you come back from hanging out with friends or you leave a work event or something

like that? How are you feeling? What's your mental health score? It also has really taught me to

express mindfulness and to show gratitude because I'm writing down things

that I'm grateful for, writing down a few little things, grateful moments that I have. I'll put
