Welcome back, Pod Squad.

Today, after receiving so much love for our live episode that we shared with you a couple weeks ago. We are taking you back into this sacred,

joyful space of our We Can Do Our Things tour. It is something that you all and we created together

during this time in which so many of us are at home and feeling isolated with fear and anxiety and feeling a little

bit desperate and a little bit hopeless. And the beauty of being together is that we found hope

and joy and togetherness and community. And those are the things that are going to get us

through this. Every one of these nights reminded us of that connection and the power of being together

and of feeling alive. And a bunch of people feeling alive together is how we're going to change things.

So it's also what makes life worth living.

So thank you for showing up with us in those rooms.

Thank you for showing up for yourselves and for spending this time with us.

We were in all sorts of places.

Thousands of you we saw in New York and Boston and Philly and Washington, D.C., in Minneapolis, and Denver and Portland, Sanford, and Seattle.

And then we ended the tour with an unforgettable night in Nashville, Tennessee during Pride weekend at the Ryman Auditorium. And I will never forget

the end of that show with the lights of people's cell phones while Tish was singing. It was just

as close to magic as I felt. In today's episode, you're really going to want to listen to this.

It is good. We are bringing you the live moments from a collection of those shows. We're talking

about internalized sexism, what to do when you don't have a village, how to stay rooted in love,

when all you're feeling is fear, why friendship might be the most

important survival tool we have right now. And I talk a little bit about letting go of

perfection, which I'm not yet perfect at. Let us jump in.

Hi, squad.
