Okay, hi guys. Happy Wednesday. I'm your host Shannon Beveridge back with another episode of Ex-N-O's. I've never said that like that. It's a whole new new way to say it. Sorry, but hey, what a special episode I have for you here today if you told 10 year old me that one

day well if you told 10 year old me anything about my life right now I'd be like what

the fuck are you talking about but if you told 10 year old me that my parents would be sitting down

having like a very sweet amicable, amazing, like conversation on camera together to share to the world.

I definitely would not believe you.

Even more than that, I wouldn't believe the friendship that they have with each other.

It's so sweet and nice and I'm just like really, I'm really, really excited for you guys to just,

I don't know, see my family also, like see my parents together, they're dynamic and I think it's like a bigger insight into who I am and I hope that you enjoy it. I'm so so grateful for them for doing this episode. I know that like being on camera is not everyone's favorite thing in the whole entire world and I do mention that in the episode too. but anyway, just want to say, again, huge props to my parents for sitting down and having this conversation together and with me and for all of you, because no one has to do that ever which is crazy. I hope you don't mind the minimal

setup today. I just traveled yesterday for like over 16 hours I can't remember exactly how long it took me but I flew from

Venice to Germany from Germany to LA got back last night and then I've been

editing this episode so I'm just like trying to do this quickly

But I wanted to give you guys a couple updates to one is that you no longer can watch the

Podcast on Spotify, so if that's where you used to watch it you're going to have to watch it on

YouTube now you can still listen to it everywhere but you can only watch it on YouTube and

that's because I change distribution thing it's a positive thing because it's because it's because of positive things for the podcast but I wish that you

could watch it on Spotify and YouTube I prefer that personally also but I'm sorry that is that is just the way that it's going to be for right now I'm so sorry but it does mean good things for the podcast in general so I'm happy I'm happy which also leads me to a mental health check which I think I've

forgotten to do the last like three episodes potentially at least the last two. I

honestly think it's just because I've been so busy not anything to do with my state of my mental health but the state of my mental health has been really positive obviously coming off of a big trip with my family. I'm both like full of

joy and love and I'm also exhausted. I think a 10 day trip in Europe in general is a lot for anyone and then you do it with your

family and it's like yes I'm tired I'm so tired but I am so so happy and I'm

so grateful for the experience to get to travel with my family.

I know not everyone gets that choice choice chance not everyone gets that chance and
