Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole,

and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom

or something like that. So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital

space together. Welcome back. Today is actually a solo episode. I want to dive deep into something

that also is connected to a cool launch that I'm doing.

As you all know, well, maybe you don't know. Maybe you don't know this at all.

Five years ago, right before Lemmy was born, actually, I launched in collaboration with a

company that does this. I launched a photo and video editing app. And if you recall,

it's a free app, had like ways to do subscriptions and do bigger things, but essentially was an

app where you could edit your photos that didn't have these options to edit you, edit your

face, edit your body. It was just to have the vibes, the aesthetic,

the storytelling of photos. At the time, five years ago, this was the blueprint. Everyone was

creating a vibe and creating a very aesthetic grid. So many of us still do that that but not everybody does um but it all was about

creating content that would eventually be on social media a few years ago we launched a snow

filter so you could have like snow falling or snow in your photos and there was like so many cool

things we had like glitter stretch marks we had like all of these cool things that I was so, so, so proud of.

And now we had this like interesting call last year where the idea was brought to the table of

what if we kept the app for what it is and we added another element to it.

I was blown away at this idea and immediately obsessed because it aligned directly with what I was doing in therapy and what I was doing in

real life and what was actively changing the way I moved through the world and captured it.

So, Pink Papaya is now Bertie.

Now, the Bertie app is still all the editing features you know in love with Pink Papaya,
