Welcome back to Well Said Podcast. Hi, I feel like I haven't talked to you guys in a long time. And you're

probably like, yes, you have. You've been talking every Monday, 5 a.m. CST. Well, I haven't recorded an

episode in a few weeks. I'm trying to think of the last time I recorded, probably with Lindsay,

which came out last week, but that was a few weeks ago. And I feel like I miss you. I don't know. It's a good thing

that I leave the podcast. I bank up a few episodes and I miss the podcast. Like that's,

that's a good sign. Quick few things. My ins and outs of the week. My ins are poppies.

This is not an ad, by the way. I just like them. I'm trying the rip beer right now. It's decently good.

I don't really like pop in general, but I like poppy, question mark. I don't know if that

means anything. Maybe I do like pop. Totally means I like pop, probably. My out is just drinking

friends, like drinking friends only. So I just hope that that hits home with a few people. And it's going to hit home

with the episode we're having today. And I won't say exactly what's going to go into this

episode yet because I think it's going to end up shooting all over the place. But today's

episode is going to be about just being better. And what do I mean by being better? It means a lot

of things. Health, stress management, what I'm doing for that, just things that I've been

feeling lately that I think we need to talk about. Today was supposed to be an episode.

Originally, my idea was that I was going to talk about careers and career trajectory and where

I'm going. But I think I want this to always be timely and I know that I need to talk about

just like my updates

and my life and like what I'm dealing with right now and just like health and self and all

of those things. So updates, I feel honestly, I'm going to just say this out loud because I think

I need to speak it into existence. I feel really guilty

right now. And I don't know if anyone can relate to this, but my work has been going amazing.
