| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Kayla. I'm so happy you're able to join us today because we are all still |
| 0:14.1 | so directionally challenged. We thought we'd have it all figured out by the time we were |
| 0:18.9 | in our 30s. But surprise, we don't and that's okay. It really is okay. You know, I ask our |
| 0:27.5 | guests to be brave and to share their extremely personal stories. And I love our directionally |
| 0:33.6 | challenged community. I love how free we are to just come and admit that we don't have to have |
| 0:39.0 | it all figured out and accepting ourselves and others for exactly who we are at any given time |
| 0:45.3 | in life. You know, so I ask guests to go there and I really appreciate and respect them for doing |
| 0:49.6 | that. And I have yet to go there with you guys and tell an extremely personal story what happened |

| 1:48.2 | and our bed is completely white. So if you can imagine how that looks instantaneously and |
| 1:55.2 | so I immediately scream for Tanner and I'm screaming for a towel. I need a I need a towel and I'm |
| 2:03.1 | saying to him, don't let Poppy in the room because my biggest fear at that moment was that I just |
| 2:08.5 | didn't want her to see me in this state because it just looks horrible. And so Tanner comes into |
| 2:15.7 | the room and we've shut Poppy out of the room and she's at the door saying, Mama, are you okay? |
