| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, it's Brooke DeVard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty podcast. |
| 0:13.1 | I'm just going to go ahead and just apologize for my voice. I'm sick, but I feel like I'm on the |
| 0:17.9 | mend. It's been a whirlwind, honestly, from like Halloween to Thanksgiving, just absolutely nonstop. We celebrated Jade's birthday, which was very sweet. I can't believe she's one year old. It feels like I gave birth yesterday. And she is just the cutest, sweetest little sadge princess. It was so interesting. It was her first time, obviously, |
| 0:39.0 | having cake or like sugar on her birthday. And I gave her like a little bit of the cake to eat. |
| 0:44.5 | And she was like, absolutely not. And then on Thanksgiving, I gave her some candy DMs to try. |
| 0:50.0 | And she also said absolutely not. So I think, I don't know, she doesn't like sugar. Also, I think |
| 0:54.7 | a lot of people singing happy birthday to her at once was a little overwhelming. I think she relaxed |
| 0:58.5 | a lot more post-party, but it was a really fun birthday party. We brought in a little like petting zoo |

| 1:42.8 | lay down and rest. So that's what I've |
| 1:44.5 | been doing this weekend. I have two recordings left until the end of the year, but so many good |
| 1:50.5 | episodes coming. I cannot thank you all enough for your support of naked beauty. I can't believe |
| 1:57.1 | we're almost at the last month of the year. This episode with Jamie is really great. |
| 2:03.2 | I do want to give a trigger warning because we do talk about her experience with |
| 2:09.1 | disordered eating, something that she is still navigating through. So there is discussion |
