I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole.

0:10.5

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

0:17.9

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

0:23.3

space together. Oh, my sweet friend, I'm so happy we're doing this. Me too. Thank you so much for

0:31.9

having me. Country music star Lindsay L, one of my sweet friends. And I have such purple hair. I just have

purple hair for like five years. The second you went to purple, I was like, oh my gosh, I forgot how

0:45.6

good it is. I forgot how good purple hair is. No, it's so good. It's so fun. I mean, as you know,

0:52.8

it's a lot to keep up. It's a lot. I don't know how much I have left in me,

0:57.4

but it's been so fun just to like dye your hair a completely different color and see what happens.

2:26.4

my fingers, look in the mirror, and finally see her, but it's a battle.

2:30.9

And that section of it, I think everyone can relate to because we are just existing in a world that has this focus.
