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, Christina, welcome to the show. We've made it. We finally, you know what,

this makes it real? Because for the longest time, people are like, oh, wait, you're actually

friends there. And I'm like, yeah, please don't take this away from me. And now I have evidence. Yes. Well, I was thinking

about it. I was like, every time you post your podcast, I'm like, I want to do your podcast. I know. I'm so bad at asking people. Right. I figured you didn't want to ask because it's like, You don't want to assume that that's why you're my friend or whatever.

And then I was like, but wait, I actually like really want to do it.

So then I asked you.

I know. And then I was like, but wait, I actually like really want to do it. So then I asked you. I know, I know. We go way back. We were actually. So for those of you that don't know, we were pregnant together. When you were pregnant with Rosie, I was pregnant with Lemmy. And our, our friendship has remained through all these years. I got to meet Pixie when she was first

born. I can't believe that. I can't believe how Vickshy is now. She was so little when you met her.

She was a brand new little baby. So yeah, it's, no, it's, I'm so excited for your book. You,

you literally, it's been so delightful because I follow you. So I get to see you in my feed, but you've been everywhere. I've been seeing you on the squeeze. I've been seeing you in all these podcasts. And I'm just like, yes, like just makes me so happy seeing you everywhere. Because I know when we, last time we hung out, you were like in the new throes of motherhood. And it was a lot of like, okay, I'm not on tour and now I've got these kids. And there was this, I just love that I was just saying in the pre-entry. I went from like your music was like the stuff I listened to through my divorce to it's now the nursery rhymes and the book that we read at bed. Like that's, it's so cool that we all kind of got to girl up together and that you keep,

you're like a, you're a soundtrack for a generation. Do you ever, I was thinking about this in the car the other day. I'm like, you're people's first wedding song and then their kids' nursery rhymes. And almost every single TikTok about a baby is with your voice behind it. Anything cute. It's wild. Yeah. Honestly, I didn't think about it as much as I have the past two months.

Really? Well, because I've been sort of forced to look at it. Like, you know, I've been doing

a lot of press for the book and like I haven't been doing a lot of press for six years. So I've

just been sort of living my life and mothering and all that. And then it's like,

you know, sometimes I get asked things here and there, but I haven't been like officially like being

interviewed, you know? And then here I am like fitting it all to the past couple months and like all

all geared towards a thousand years again. Like it's like I'm always talking about a thousand years when I've, you know, I've done a lot of things, but like this is the, it's like the thread through my life. It's like I'm still talking about it. It's been 15 years. I'm still talking about it. And now it's got a brand new life as a little book. But like it just, it has made me think about it. So normally my answer would be

like, no, I never think about it. But like actually, yes, I've been thinking about it a lot because

it's like it's presented itself to me in such a way that like other people keep saying
