0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.4	Welcome to RealPod. It's your host, Victoria Garrick Brown, and this is the podcast where we hold nothing back.
0:11.4	Oh, so we're getting deep, huh? I really cried for 12 days straight.
0:15.9	Why do I want to be perfect? There's nothing in my life that is perfect.
0:19.3	Every week, I'll bring you honest, unfiltered,
0:22.0	and eye-opening conversations to help uncover the real in all of us. I crave the type of content
0:27.5	that you're talking about. I actually felt insecure. Oh my God, I'm not going to cry. Let me just
0:31.8	unload everything. New episodes every Wednesday. Leave those filters at the door because it's time to get real.
0:44.8	Woohoo. Mom, welcome back to the pod. Yay. Thanks, baby. Thanks for having me. You've been so excited to come back on. She has been like, when are you going to have me back? I need to come back on the show. And then Jen and I had this idea of we should have you on after Paris. It would be fun to talk a little bit about the trip, but then just you and I catch up. And then you had the idea of put a question box on Instagram because you were like, it's too much energy to hold conversation. Just ask me questions, please.
1:11.1	Well, it's so much pressure. And I just thought, what am I going to rattle on about?
1:14.2	Just better to have some sort of direction and have questions and then it kind of flows.
1:18.9	It definitely does. And today is our first day back. Yesterday, we arrived from the Paris trip.
1:25.8	I slept from 8 to 8. So I slept 12 hours. I woke up once at 6 a.m.
1:30.9	to pee and then I went back to bed. How did you sleep? You slept eight to eight. I mean, I slept eight to four,
1:36.5	but I slept straight through. So that was what, I don't know how many hours, but I feel amazing.
1:43.0	It was such a fun trip, though. I cannot believe this.
1:45.4	I felt so lucky. This is my third year in a row that I've been able to make it out to Paris. We had our trip, which was a thank you for our helping plan my wedding that we did three years ago. Then Max and I went for the Olympics, and then we just went for Sophie and Jack's wedding. I know. Seriously, you've been there
2:01.0	every year for three years. How special? I know. It was so special. And I feel like this year,
2:06.4	the one thing I really wanted to do was go to Notre Dame because I feel grateful that I've been to
2:12.3	the Louvre and I've been to, you know, the Arctic Triumph. Right. and seen some of the more popular museums that I was like,
2:19.8	okay, that's definitely the last big thing I haven't been able to see. And yeah, you came with me
2:24.4	and Max, and that was special. So special. I'm so glad Yaya really encouraged us,
