Hello and welcome. My name is Mary and I'm the host of Prologs, a lifestyle podcast where each episode is like a digital

journal entry detailing whatever it is I'm going through in life at the moment. I talk about my

journey with mental health, relationships, wellness, beauty, personal development, and more.

So join me every Monday morning for a reminder that we're all still figuring out life for the first

time and you are still in the beginning of your personal story. Guys, this is my seventh time trying to start this podcast.

Literally the seventh time that I have hit record and have tried to do this. I don't know what's

going on with me this morning. Actually, morning, it's evening. It's 5.30 in the evening. I don't know

what's going on with me. Words are not

coming out. Nothing's making sense. Nothing I'm saying is making sense. I always struggle with the introduction to an episode because when I prepare an episode, I prepare an outline for the general topic, right? Like I usually have an idea. I come up with a title. I come up with the body, like, you know, the body paragraphs.

But I don't think about what to say in the introduction because I just assume that I'll be able to like chat and wing it and ad lib on the spot. And I can't today. This is my seventh time trying to do this. And I'm not going to allow myself to stop this recording and start over. so like we're just we're all stuck here.

Hi, welcome to prologs.

My name is Mary.

I'm your host.

And I don't know

what is coming out of my mouth right now. Let me think. What can I update you on? What's going on with me?

Not that much. I feel like everything going on with me is stuff I've already told you. I died my hair back to

dark yesterday. That's fun. September starts like tomorrow by the time you're hearing this. I love that. No matter what the solstice says, September 1st is the official start of fall in my world. Fall and winter are my favorite season. So that's great. I have friends coming. Actually, by the time you're hearing this episode, my friends are already here. They're going to stay with me for a week. Those are our last house guests of the summer. And while they're here, we're going to Amsterdam. So when you're listening to this episode, I will be going to Amsterdam for a few days. That'll be fun. That'll be like the last little trip of my Euro summer of sorts. What else? Like nothing. Like those are fun things. You know, going back to your natural hair color and going to Amsterdam, having guests like those are fun things you know going back to your natural hair color and going

to amsterdam having guests like those are fun things but i just i've got nothing nothing's going on

i already hate every single thing i've said and i want to restart this again but i'm not going to

because that would be eight times that i've tried to start this episode and i just like i can't do that

maybe we should just get into it like take seven like how we just have to do it now. I hope you guys are doing well. Give me a pulse check like in the comments or send me a message. Tell me how you're doing. Tell me what's going on with you. Maybe my brain isn't working because the day I'm recording this, we're switching out of Leo season. Maybe that's it. Like maybe what is this. Are we in Virgo season now? Yes, we're in out of Leo season maybe that's it like maybe what is this are we in
