The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Welcome to the bad broadcast. We are taking a break from the

boot broadcast this week because we have a lot to discuss. We have a lot to go over.

Also, I'm coming at you live from my most unwell, my most physically unwell. I'm not sick.

I'm run down, I would say. I'm running on about 45 minutes of sleep. Really crazy decisions were made by the small child

living in my house. Did not sleep a lot last night and also got home very late because we had our

Moonlight Harvest event with Redmond. And I just got to say, it went off without a hitch.

Like, it was truly everything I could have wanted from an event. And

I've said this before and I said at the event and I'm going to say it again, this was like the

perfect alignment of everything that I love in an event. Nothing had ever felt so right. And I'm

always hesitant with live events because quite frankly, I'm, I'm getting,

I mean, I get nervous in front of groups. I don't like speaking in front of people. I get nervous

to meet strangers and like kind of entertain. And this like kind of intimate setting with all

women here eating dinner, like enjoying each other's company, local food, crafts, swag bags.

Like, it was just, it was everything. Like, my best friends were there. And then women who I've

met through the internet, women who have supported my career through the years. Like, it was

just everything to me. And the Redmond team and Lucy also did so much work for the event. I seriously felt like such a loser. Like when I got there, I was like, oh, I like did not do enough to help with this. But fingers crossed, we got to do it for many years to come. And hopefully next year we can, you know, get a bigger guest list. We can kind of beef it up a little bit. We just, we wanted to give it a shot to see what this would be like. And I'm so glad that it went as well as it did. So thank you to everybody who came. What a way to kick off October. I mean, yeah, October 7, that's kicking off October. But we're taking a break from the spooky this week. And last week's episode was, I mean, one of my

favorites, one of my favorite stories. And we're going to continue them next week. But this week,

a lot on my mind, a lot to process, a lot. Oh, I just got panic that I forgot to press the

record button. My brain is, it's firing on half a cylinder, but that does not mean that I am not locked in

for what we are about to talk about.

Don't you worry.
