The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hey, welcome to the Blond Files podcast.

I'm your host, Ariel Laurie, and I'm here to talk all things wellness.

From how to achieve optimal health and well-being to the best beauty tips and everything in between,

no topic is off limits and I'm bringing it to you real and unfiltered.

I know there is so much information out there, so I'm here to help you navigate it all.

Thanks for listening. Let's get into it.

Hi everybody. Welcome to the show.

I wanted to do another solo episode because I got so many questions last time that I didn't get to

and I also had you send in more the other day. So I hope you guys like these because I like sprinkling them in,

especially now that I'm doing so many episodes a month with guests.

I feel like I don't know. It's kind of like nice to have some personal ones in there too.

So actually let me know if you guys like that.

You can send me a DM on the Blond Files podcast, Instagram.

Also, if you haven't left a review, please do so. It's one of those like little things that makes a huge difference for the podcast,

especially with so many podcasts out there. Anyway, so I'm just going to do these at random.

I'm going to try to make it like a mix of entertaining and maybe somewhat helpful.

So of course, after the last episode, I got tons of questions about my personal life,

which I just have to say out of the gate here, I'm just not really going to go there.

So don't stop listening now, but the questions of how and the why and the when of my separation and everything are really personal to me and to Chuck.

He's part of this too and it just feels kind of icky to talk about.

Maybe I'll write a book one day and share it there.
