Hi everyone, what's up and welcome to In Bloom Podcast or welcome back. My name is Abby Aslin and I'm the host of this podcast. Super excited for this week's episode and just to be sitting down and talking with y'all.

Things felt so weird after like not recording an episode for a little bit. And then having last week being like a Q&A, I just feel like I haven't had a planned out episode in like three

weeks because I just straight up haven't. So I'm excited. And I'm also really excited because

we're getting into fall kind of. I mean, it's still like 90 plus degrees in Houston,

or at least that's what it feels like temperature is.

And it's really hot, but I've noticed when walking Ella in the mornings that it just,

there's like a touch, I don't even want to call it coolness because it's not even like cool air per se, but the air is cooler.

So I've been feeling that in the mornings and it's just provided some ounces of

optimism to my mornings. And I've been really appreciating that. I don't know why I'm talking about that

right now, but we are. And I'm, oh, I know why, because I am excited to do my ball bucket list

episode and yeah, just get into all that stuff stuff and i think i want to do a summer

favorite's episode and just actually did i already do that i don't know i need to go back and look

if i already did that just to wrap up the summer before we get into fall um just to share like

the things i loved and everything but But I'm really excited to do

the fall bucket list episode and like just talk about all that kind of stuff. And I don't know,

I just really come alive in the fall time. I do in the summer. I feel like I used to in the summer

when I lived at the beach. But now that I don't live at it and I just work during the summer,

summer is kind of not my vibe. It is for my younger

self, but not for my current self, if you know what I mean. So I'm just really excited for

if you can't tell. But before we get into the episode, let's go ahead and get started with the

quote goal and gratitude of the week. So my quote this week is from Pinterest. And I really liked it.

I thought it was pretty relevant to this week's episode, which we're going to be talking all about
