This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hi. How are you?

And really think about that.

How are you? For real.

We're so accustomed to saying we're good when people ask us how we're doing.

And it's important to honor our feelings.

Feelings aren't always reliable.

They come and they go.

But it is important if you are having a not-so-good day that you recognize that.

And it's okay to say, you know what, I'm not doing too well today. I've gotten used to doing that and it just lets the other person know where you're at and they meet you there.

And it's worked very well. Before I wanted to pretend like everything was fine in my life.

There was nothing going on. Everything's fine. I'm going to,

you know, I don't, we've talked about this before. I don't really like the fake it to make it thing that people use. But I guess I was doing it subconsciously. Or I was just like, I'm good, I'm good. Everything's going to be fine. I'm good. And yes, it's good to be positive, but also it's okay to say, I'm not okay.

That's not the point of this voice note today.

But I just thought about that right now as a random thought.

But I wanted to let you guys know that I hit my eye yesterday, my eyelid, not my eye, thank God.

And I was very flustered yesterday. I had a very rough morning.

I went to go get a second opinion on a little lump I had in my breast. And it looks good,

you know, the doctor that I went to that I had the sonogram last time that I told you guys about.

She just wanted a second opinion because there was a little lump that worried her.

And so I went to another doctor.

And anyway, I was on my way and I'm four minutes away.
