Are you nervous about today? No, I'm actually really excited. I'm excited about it. I am interested to see how this goes. Our first shared

discussion topic, that's solely this one topic, but I can't wait to see the discussion that it starts. Yeah, I think it'll be really interesting because someone every like everyone and some capacity

regardless of like who you are, anything like that is going to have had to deal with or is dealing with or will deal with

some of these something that we're going to be talking about today. And it affects everybody differently. And I think that's what's interesting. Do you think we should title this episode something very click baity like

Macy got plastic surgery? Really get people like, the hell?

Well, and to be honest, like that was and I'll get into it, but even things like that kind of flowed into my decision making process and

levels of like, you know, there's so much to talk about and there's in its, you know, my own situation is not well, it's not unique, but it might, it's different than perhaps something you might do or you might have done or will do for

yourself, whenever you feel like you need to or want to or things like that, depending on where you are in the journey of your life.

And I'm excited to talk about these things and how they are totally fine and should be encouraged for people who just want to feel good and like how they look.

I think that what you said is something that I can't wait to touch on is how you said this was not a unique case and I'm excited to talk about exactly how not, not not unique. That's not what I mean, but like how widespread stuff like this is and especially when you break it down and you get into like

other forms of like modification and how some are totally normal and some are like, yeah, even though they're really not significant, you know, let's let's quit beaten around the bush, tell them tell them what's up.

So I did something new for the first time and I and I'll at first I want to preface for saying this is not just going to be an episode of me talking about myself, but I do have to talk about my own personal experience just to

get into this a little bit and explain, you know, because I know that while, you know, this is unique to me in that sense, it's not unique in having to confront change in the body.

You know, like this almost kind of like I was thinking about like the R a Quartz episode that we did, or you know, it was like that was like kind of

they're two different things, you know, it's like that was being okay with the changes that are permanent, you know, changes that have come from your metamorphosis, it's like this is

confronting changes that are still within your control and accepting or at least in my case that it's okay to ease into things and not feel guilty about having to do that.

But all that's to say is I got Botox in my forehead last week. Never really I had done anything like that before I've never done any sort of injectable skin care, I guess you call it.

I don't know. Yeah. Um, but basically got plastic surgery. Yeah, you do.

And I, but you know, I'll just essentially about six months maybe a year ago, even I'm not sure I noticed in this is still like in a first of all

one, there's nothing wrong with wrinkles. It's my own perception of wrinkles. I was not prepared for on my own body. And that's what I want to make very clear.

It's me. I'm the problem in this case. If problem being used is like a jockey way, but you know, it's my perception. And so, but one popped on my forehead for the first time.

And so generally, I've looked the same since I was a teenager, aside from losing my like round face that comes from being like a kid, you know, like the youthful state about the same size, I look generally the same. And so this was the first
