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

and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom or something like that.

So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital

space together. All right, everyone, we have an episode today that I'm very excited about. I am not

in the dating world, but I love this girl's content. I love learning from her. I just think she's one of the greatest

voices on Instagram when it comes to talking about some of these subjects. So I have Danielle,

your BFF, here today to talk all things, relationship, dating, and pep talks.

You just made me cheer up with your little intro because I have to share back in the day. This was right when I got married about seven years ago. I remember being at such a low point in my life trying to figure out like what I wanted to do. And I was so inspired by you. I started a little vlog and it's so funny like looking back. I had no idea what I was doing. I just know I was so inspired.

Yeah. Okay, well, that's good to know. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. Oh, yeah. I literally, I was doing country music at the time. And I had a little country music website where I'd post my music. And I was like why don't I just add a tab and do like a blog you know I was just so excited by you and so i'd write like little

messages and god knows if anybody ever saw it you did it for you though isn't that like i honestly

i did i was 10 years doing blogging and stuff before i think anybody really started to pay attention

and i was like isn't that great though you kind of did it for yourself for a while, that it really was just for you. And like, that's so cool. So kudos to you. Kudos to you. Well, I remember having this moment. I was at this gym, which I hate gyms, to be honest. But I remember being at this gym, I was at such a low point, like trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. And I was listening to you on Caitlin Bristow's Off the Vine. And I remember being so inspired by that podcast. And it gave me the strength to keep going and just to keep living life and keep going after my dreams. And, oh, my God, yeah, I'm just so grateful for you and your voice online and everything that you've shared. And I truly mean that. So honestly, it's an honor to be here. Like, I don't know if I can even say that to anybody else. That's so full circle. That's really cool. You know what? It's funny, but that little, you know, like how your iPhone like serves you memories. It just popped up with the photo of Caitlin and I doing that episode. And it's like

coming up on seven years ago now, which is absolutely wild. And yeah, like that podcast episode

changed my life. And I, and I remember being so nervous and so just intimidated by the whole process and like,

does this even matter and make a difference? So it's really wild to hear that one podcast

episode seven years ago meant something for you because it meant something for me too. And like that

in the world of things that you scroll by and you get 15 seconds with it, it matters to hear that these like singular

episodes or moments in time can really impact somebody's thinking and moving forward. And I think

this is why I'm so drawn to you in general. It's like you're just a very, you do have that BFF vibe.

I know that's like part of your handle, but you give that BFF vibe that you genuinely give a crap about what women are

experiencing, what they're going through and dating. Talk to me, like, take me back because I actually

don't know the why. I would love to know the why because I feel like I could have really used
