0:00.0	Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole,

0:17.8	So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital
0:23.3	space together. Today's guest is somebody I grew up with and not in the sense that she had
0:31.7	any idea who I was, but in the sense of in early days of motherhood and my having kids young, there was something about watching
0:40.3	the Hills. Me and my sister would watch it every single week and then I would stay up late to
0:44.5	watch the Hills After Show, which was hosted by the Jesse Cruikshank and Dan Levy, who we all know
0:50.4	and love. And Jesse, I got to watch Become a Mom, Evolve. She goes on tour.

2:01.4	that. Like you're just, it is unbelievable to me. And I say this like with so much adoration. I'm so
2:08.0	fucking happy. You're still in the game. I'm so happy to see you like 20 years later and doing the
2:15.5	things. But let's's backtrack a little.
