Welcome to the Girl on Top Shallin Xo podcast.

I'm your host Shallin Lester and you might know me from my YouTube channel,

where I analyze celebrity relationships and scandals for the lessons we can take into our own lives.

But here on the podcast, I answer the best questions you submitted over the past week.

Welcome back to the podcast, Shaligators.

Well, look, this week, we're going to talk about starting fresh because the season is about

to change.

Now, I know, I know.

We're still in like early to mid-August, right?

And it's always so infuriating when you see like the fall stuff outside. I'm like, it's 96 degrees. It is not fall. We are not talking back to school. Please just let me live.

We have the right to sort of hit a reset

You know, everybody signing up for their gym membership and going keto or whatever. But why can't

we do it now? I think a mid-year rebrand is really, really effective kind of because people don't see it coming.
