Part one.

Behind the scenes with a member of the show.

Welcome to the Best Bits.

By now you figured out that we are on vacation.

So this is a little vacay best bits with Abby.

Thank you for joining me, Abby. Ooh. I feel like it's always vacation when we talk. You are the vacation girl. Yeah. You and me like to talk around that time. Oh, that's funny. We do have some stuff to catch up on. And not too long ago, there was some drama in the studio. How are you feeling after this drama? I mean, I'm pretty good. I got to say

what I was going to say. So you're not feeling any like lingering effects of that or you just

kind of like, it is what it is and move on with my life. Yeah, it's been pretty normal, honestly.

You know, in my whole life, I sometimes am like a dormant. You know, like people walk on me and I don't say anything. I'm not saying just at work. I'm just saying in general everywhere. You know, it's just very easy for me to just kind of tolerate things and not speak up. And I'm trying to work on that to speak up. And I've had some people message me and they're like, oh my gosh, you like inspired me to like speak up and know what I stand for and stuff. And I'm like, okay, that's cool. If I could do that,

awesome. I think it's as you go through life too, you have more lessons and you learn that speaking

up is important and a part of making yourself happy and making sure you're

advocating for yourself. I think we've been told a lot of our lives to, you know, avoid

confrontation and it's, don't do this and be this kind of person or be submissive or

any number of things. You're just told to get along and deal with it. And I think standing up for yourself

is a very radicalized, if you will, belief to like, that's a horrible thing to stand up for yourself.

And I think it's a really awesome to be like, no, this is how I feel and this is what I'm experiencing.

And, you know, nothing has to happen from it, but I get to say my peace.

Right. Yeah. I mean, Friday definitely was that I was, I was in a type of mood. Let's just put it that way. Okay. Well, I want to do a little mental health check. Make sure you're doing okay. No, I'm good. Yeah. And just moving on now. Yeah, moving on. We set our piece and move on. We did.

I like that for you.

Sometimes that's all you need.
