The following podcast is a DR Media production.

Welcome to What You're Gonna Love Me.

The podcast where we open the eyes, the ears, and the hearts of anyone who has judged or been judged.

Well, hopefully, I'm your host, Katie Maloney.

Hello everyone. Welcome back to an only episode. How y'all doing? I am doing pretty good.

I am feeling really a full range, a cornucopia, if you will, of all of the feelings.

All of the emotions. I'm feeling grateful. I'm feeling stressed and feeling anxious.

I'm feeling happy. There's a lot. There's a lot, a lot happening.

You know, a lot of restaurants opening up. There's, you know, movie theaters opening up.

Bowling alleys, gyms. You know, on one hand it's exciting. On the other hand, it's a bit terrifying.

It's amazing how in a year we've really sort of rewired ourselves and to just complete hermits.

I'm not gonna lie. I was kind of enjoying it, if you will. I mean, take the whole pandemic thing out of it.

I didn't mind it so much. I really am a homebody. I'm really comfortable at home. I feel safe at home.

It's my sanctuary. I love being here. I'm with my dogs. It's comfortable. As excited as I am

to feel like we're kind of getting on the other side of it all. Am I alone in this? I don't think I am.

I think I'm hearing sort of the echoes of the same sentiment. I was just kind of almost being like,

is it too soon? I don't know. I mean, I know everyone's out there getting the vaccine,

which I know it's crazy how that's become controversial. I don't know why. I don't know why science is so controversial.

Don't add me on that, but I just, I don't know why we don't trust science these days. I do.

But that's just me. You do you. But something that has been ever present in me this past year has

been stress and it's kind of crazy because you're like, what are you stressed about? You're just at

home all the time. And it's wild because it's like half the time I would barely get off the couch.
