Hello, my loves. Welcome back to another episode of sex love and what else matters. Hi, darling. Hi, baby. Hi, Luke. So here with me. Yay.

And we have a very special guest. Hi, Maggie Lawson. Hello. Hi, Kristen. Hi, Luke. Hi. I thank you all for having me. I'm so excited. So if you guys live under a rock, Maggie Lawson is obviously a very successful actress, but has just recently started her new podcast called Me Time with number one fabulous, so simple right to the point. I'm obsessed with it. Thank you. Oh, I love that you love the name. I it's so funny.

The first interview I did, who was Joel McCale, I was like, tell me what you think of when you when you hear me time. Is it like an eye roll? Or is it actually like, no, no, you know, because it's like, like, oh, me time. I feel like there's a lot of talk around this, but it actually is a very important topic to me. And I think I love that you got it right away.

Oh, I totally did. And I did listen to the Joel McCale episode. And I just thought it was really funny. So I recently did long story short, I just did a different competition show with Daniel Tosh was my host. Oh, wow. It's like working with the comedian and trying to and I know you and Joel, I could tell obviously are like buddies, but like trying to have a serious conversation with someone who's just.

Not only so used to, but also so good at just telling these jokes in between and like, I'm going, oh, my God, I was like, I had it on speaker and I was like, Luke, he would literally like will not answer that question.

I wanted cold blooded murder. You're like, come on, why are you electing? It's it's funny. I hit. Yeah, I noticed that in my interview with him, but you know, and he he he makes me laugh all the time. I love Joel so much. We've been friends for a very long time.

And it was funny because I did talk to him a little beforehand, like what it would be about, but I wanted to just let it wander just because I also like I want to guess to feel like they can kind of explore whatever that is for them as well.

And I think it was kind of it was just kind of interesting as it is for everyone. It's a fascinating topic that like for him, it's like the opposite. Like he can't have it. Like he like so in a way, the interview was kind of reflective. I think of the way he kind of approaches me time is just like, let's just not let's just keep moving.

Yeah, he's like, I move, I like to move around a lot like it's just that's what I who I am blah blah blah. And then you would you would like break it down though for him like as your buddy. You're like, well, that's me time like that thing you're talking about now.

Thank you so much. That's so sweet. It's as you probably know, like it's always a little scary and like vulnerable and like, especially if it's something that's like means a lot to you. You're talking about delicate topics as well. I'm talking about like getting to know people through.

You know, whatever this time might be for them, it might be weird. It could be peaceful. It could be like you just wander into a lot of different areas and it's

It definitely for me last week. I was like, oh my god. It's actually coming out now. Like it's actually going to be released and this is going to happen. So thank you for listening and and for for liking it.

I love it. I love it. So I'm first and foremost for our listeners who have not yet heard your podcast. But why did you want to start this like this podcast?

What was important to you? Yeah, it's really interesting. I've really enjoyed I do this other podcast. It's a rewatch podcast of a show I did called psych called the psychologist. Yeah, and I've just I've loved it. It's been really fun. And it's also a comfortable thing because I feel like I was a show I did for eight years. I can I can speak to it pretty comfortably. And also it's about psych. So it's kind of easy to talk about. Well, you know cloud 10 and and yeah.

So I was talking to him actually about a different idea and and believe it or not, Syba, who is one of the producers there, like kind of pitch something back to me around something a bit more personal or, you know, lifestyle is something like that. And my whole body tends to and I feel like my my initial reaction was just like, no, I'm more comfortable talking about other topics or whatever.

And then as I thought about it, I was like, maybe that's a reason to explore it, just because my initial reaction was like fear and all of the things. So and and the more I started to kind of explore that part, the more I started to sort of think about where I was and more conversations I was having with people.

I kind of settled on this idea of me to I spent a ton of time alone, like, you know, almost sometimes like where I travel alone, I will go eat alone. I like

it's something that I feel like for me, I don't know, I feel like I learn a lot about myself in those moments, but I also kind of feel like I'm in this this space in my life right now, where I'm 42 and I feel like I'm kind of in like an in between of like

where I was, you know, my 30s or over my 40s, I don't really know what this is going to like what that's going to be yet. I don't have kids yet.

I don't know how all that's going to play out for me yet. And I'm just sort of in this space of like getting to know myself here. It's very different, obviously. And, you know, so I was like, well, what if I, what if I talk about sort of this part of

getting to know myself now and all of the things I kind of am exploring there and make it more kind of about that. And then also with other people, what time for them, what they're kind of like alone, downtime, quiet time.

The moments when it's like, oh, I have a little bit of time to and I'm a little bit off the rails right now. I need to kind of come back to myself. What do I do so that I can go back out there and do the other things I need to do.
