Summary

Happy 2022!!! This year is all about finding friends that will create adventures, live in the moment, and have fun on weekdays with you. My sissy, Erin, talks about her go-to weekday (and bestfriend) Taylor, who she unexpectedly lost in 2021. She shares how her perception and meaning of life has changed, and how Fun on Weekdays has helped her deal with grief. We talk about our childhood & how we are very different, yet somehow very alike. Erin shares all of her tips for solo traveling and how important it is to self-discovery in your 20’s. This episode is in loving memory of Taylor Strauss.

0:00.0	Woo! Happy New Year, everybody! It is 2022. This is my first episode of the New Year.
0:06.6	I'm super excited. Who did you guys kiss for New Year's Eve when the ball dropped?
0:12.0	I kissed my dad, not like that. Not like that. But my family was in town for New Year's Eve.

0:43.8	Five, six, seven, eight.
0:46.8	Woo yeah.
0:52.8	Yes.
0:54.8	Hey, y'all. I'm Erin. I am Johnnaz. Actually, Johnnaz is my sister because I'm older. I was here first.
1:00.8	I'm 26. I live in Lakewood, Ohio. I've lived here for the past four years after college.

1:11.8	So Erin's a little nervous. We have to start off by saying that because Erin and I have
1:17.7	really never had an actual conversation with each other and I feel like anybody out
1:21.4	there with siblings knows how that goes. When do you often have a serious conversation
1:26.3	with your siblings? I can probably say this is likely our first. So she just did a little
1:33.5	intro about herself but basically I wanted to have her on the podcast. I mean it's all
1:37.8	fun and games like wanting to be on a podcast until you're actually sitting in front of
1:42.0	the camera and next to a microphone sitting side by side in front of a fireplace. I will
