Hello, bienvenito.

Hello, my gente.

Welcome one and all to a brand.

Spaking new episode, fresh out the kitchen.

We've been cooking in la Cucina, a delicious fiesta platter, ready for you to sink your teeth into, ready for you to feast on of the low-life podcast.

I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, white wine drinking, tuck your finger licking, ice coffee sipping, bone broth slurping,

hot mess of a host.

Lorensovon, and I am so happy to be here with you today.

There is no place I'd rather be than right here in this moment with you right now.

I hope you're having a great day and a beautiful week and you're enjoying your summer. It's hot outside. I'm sweating my tits off right now. I hope you're feeling good. But if you are struggling right now, I know a lot of people are going through it. I've been talking to a lot of my friends, Instagram followers. They're feeling sad, depressed, feeling a bit anxious. Rightfully so. There's a lot of shit happening in the world right now. Some people I've spoken to are going through a really bad breakup. They're feeling depleted. They're not feeling like the best versions of themselves right now. And if you're in that boat listening to this right now, please just know you are not alone in those feelings. And I promise you're going to be okay. Let this be a

reminder to you that you're going to get through this. This is not a forever feeling. This is temporary

and you're going to be okay. You've got this boo. Sometimes it's hard to see the light at the end of

the tunnel when you're swimming in the darkness and you're in the thick of it. The heaviness of

depression or the waves of anxiety can hit you

like a ton of bricks. And it could really take you off your game. I know that feeling because I have

been there. I've had moments where I didn't think I was going to be okay. And please just know that I'm

proud of you. The truth is if most people really knew your story and all the shit you've been through, they'd probably be wondering how you're still smiling, how you're still functioning. So if you don't hear it from anybody else in your life, just know I'm proud of you in this moment right now. And the fact that you're here listening to the low live podcast, about to get a little dopamine shot right to the ass, to get some serotonin

for the soul, baby. I've gone through some really dark times. There are points in my life where I felt like a shell of myself, and I didn't think I was going to get through it. I didn't think I was going to be okay. This podcast, the low lifers here, have really held me down, have been a support system, a constant light in my life. So thank you

for that. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for your support. I freaking love you.

And I appreciate you so much as a listener. I've experienced a lot of loss and heartbreak.

And it comes in all different forms, whether it be the loss of my beloved little dukey, my fur baby, the loss of a family
