Hello and welcome to another episode of Not Too Deep. I'm Grace Helbig. This is a very special episode of Not Too Deep.

I'm so excited to have Michelle Aiken, formerly Michelle Vargas, formerly my college roommate and best friend with me this episode.

Oh, it's so lovely. We take a little trip down memory lane, talk about our college days.

We talk about starting YouTube back in 2007.

You know, the days when you got into the YouTube partner program and you thought that you really made it.

And we talk about the time we got to drunk videography wedding, a very expensive wedding in Central Park in New York and that we weren't allowed to do that anymore.

She also talks about her world of being a life coach for the last eight years and how that has changed and grown in the current climate.

Also, for any of your mothers or one of your mothers out there, we talk about our at-home birth and it's wild.

And if that doesn't appeal to you, she writes fanfic Harry Potter fanfic to be exact.

So hear all about that on this lovely episode of Not Too Deep with Michelle Aiken.

Michelle, hello, hello, I have to practice not calling you Michelle Vargas, which is all I want to do.

You're Michelle Aiken now.

So I preemptive apologies if throughout this episode I refer to you as Michelle Vargas consistently and fully.

I, you know, I kind of miss it.

Do you?

Yeah.

Was it a conscious choice to take Aiken as the last name when you got married?

Yeah, I was kind of in that place of wanting to just erase everything and start over and it seemed like a new notebook but on a much grander scale.

And so that that was definitely that.

But I do miss that when I show my ID somewhere, people don't speak Spanish to me anymore.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true.

Also, you and I love fresh darts so much.
