Good morning millennials. Welcome back to the morning toast. That feels so good to say as does Hey Claude Hi, it

Ernie. It feels so close to you right now. Welcome back to the morning toast for you Jackie. I've been here for a while, but it's so great to have you back. I mean, I did love friends and family week at the morning

toast. I did, but there's nothing like, you know, podcasting with you gal. No, there's nothing like it when I first left for my retreat. I was very much looking forward to getting a break from the toast, but I have to be honest, I'm so happy to be back. I need to give a little update why it's podcast only and where we're at right now. There's just been a crazy turn of events. You guys, the wellness retreat was so fabulous that I decided to extend a few days because I just felt like I had more wellness. Your work was not done. My work was not done.

And so I've logged my entire first week of the wellness retreat. It's pretty detailed and I just posted it to patreon. So if you watch the vlog, you'll understand like sort of the genesis of emotions, you know, I got there. I was so like nervous and awkward. I barely remember that girl first day jitters first day jitters, but then over the week, like I really blossomed like a flower. And I'm just really having a great time. I feel I feel very well. I feel like I'm doing everything that I wanted to do and I just wanted to do a little bit more of it. So we will be doing.

I'm doing remote audio this week while I just finish out my time here. And the program is really meant to be two weeks. I learned once I got here. So there's still more things for me to do while I'm here. And I'm able to work and do the toast with this like newfound perspective.

Would you say you have a newfound.

I would say it's exactly that like I have so much energy and I'm working out so much and I'm eating well and I just I feel really good. And I also I want to do the toast while being here so that I can bring that to the show.

Okay, well, I did have a programming update that I actually forgot to update you on as well. Is that Ben is Ben is free tomorrow to come in studio with me. So we will have a YouTube episode tomorrow with Ben because Ben was supposed to do every episode with me last week.

Schedule change and then tell us trucker like was available so it ended up being great. I had a robust lineup of co hosts, but the people wanted more bad because we promise them more Ben. So he is committing to the craft and he is coming to studio with me tomorrow.

So YouTube we're going to play it, you know, by year day by day, but tomorrow we will have a YouTube episode with the one and only Ben's offer.

That's good. I'm excited for everyone because everybody loves a one episode so much. I'm like a little sad for me because he's coming for my job.

Big time he's coming for you. He is coming for my couch, but you know what this week I'm happy to share it and I'm happy to come at you audio only like I really have unplugged so much last week this week I'm plugging back in.

But everything that went down last week like in the pop culture in the pop culture. I like haven't much I haven't even turned my TV on once since I've been here. So I've really been out of loop. I spent the morning catching up on what's been going down.

I'm really looking forward to getting into these stories like I've truly missed taking a bite of the morning tose I'm not going to lie.

And I'm also just excited to like start this Monday off with you so we can just like catch everyone up. I mean I was out of studio Thursday and Friday you've been gone for a week like the people honestly like I know you were unplugged.

I was not and the people were like where is Jackie like you kind of just like bounced with no kind of you know.

Explanation like there will be no explanation there will only be wellness retreat pretty much like that's how you bounced and I know that people thought like you were going to be unplugging you didn't just give us like an update or anything so I was kind of you know not to make it about me.

But I was really like the vessel in which people were communicating you know through you and I just like can you update everyone like you do not end up you know getting you know.

Brought into a court like no it's all good it's all good and there were a few times like where I wanted to like update people but I didn't really have anything to say like hey guys I'm here.

All as well so I did need you to be my spokesperson let everyone know that like things were going really well for me like so well that I didn't feel the need to be on my phone my screen time was down 30% last while I just got I just got those numbers in those figures are astounding.

My iPad screen time zero percent well yeah of course because your iPad is for the toast.

No I know but if I wanted to watch a movie or something I would have used my iPad so anyways just screens were down and I feel like I did give everyone warning like the week
