The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Welcome to the bad broadcast. I'm running on about 90 minutes of sleep, two red bowls,

a turkey sandwich, and four homemade Oreos. So I have no idea where this episode

is going to take us. But I am feeling good weirdly. I don't know why I'm feeling so good,

probably because I'm so excited about the new year. I'm recording this on January 1st.

And if you're wondering why I only got 90 minutes of sleep, it's because I have been at the

hospital all night and all day. Because my sister-in-law had a baby. My sister-in-law had a gorgeous baby girl.

I was so excited to be there for the birth, the labor. I just, I'm going to be a doula. I'm going to be a

dula. You know what? I'm adding that to my 2025 vision board. I think I should

become a certified dula. I just being around birth, like, reinvigorates me in a way I can't

describe. But anyway, that's why I was at the hospital all night. And then I just tried to record my

ads. Couldn't get one single word out. Somehow it felt like I was reading a tongue twister when I was

trying to say everyday luxury at an affordable price. Like I couldn't get that sentence out. But

I'm feeling good. Holding a little newborn. Man, nothing makes you love a newborn quite like

somebody else's newborn. Because when I had my own newborn, I mean,

you have your hormones that are a factor. Your life is flipped upside down. It's a mess. When I had

my own newborn, I was like, what do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? How would

anybody take care of this? And then when I hold somebody else's newborn, I'm like, please let me take them home.

Please let me, let me have them for like six months.

And then I'll give them back.

I swear.

So it was really sweet to be there.
