The following podcast is a dear media production.

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, I am sitting in

L.A. and I'm like having a moment. I'm not going to say a fan girl moment,

but it's a little bit of like, I can't believe how life comes full circle. Because who I'm

sitting with right now, I used to watch on television when I was pregnant with my first child and like

sat during maternity leave, bored out of my mind. Like sorry, Maya, you were just such a simple child. And binge watch the show. So please welcome Whitney Port. Hi. Hi. I'm so, that is like such a funny thing yesterday. I was like texting my daughter and she was like, what are you doing in L.A.? And I was like, well, I'm actually going to go podcast with somebody that I used to watch when I was like at home with you. And it's like that was like 13 years ago. Oh my God. Do you have a 13 year old? I do. Oh my God. You look like you're 25. Honestly, I had them all very young. I had all three by the time I was 25. No. Yeah. So I've got three now. And yeah, so it's been, I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years, which is why I loved reality TV. It filled my days. I don't blame you. Social media really wasn't a thing yet. Of course. Thank God, I think a little bit too. So then when that kind of all came about and eventually, yeah, ended up going into the workforce 10 years later and

all of this now. So, oh my gosh. Very cool. Yeah. I'm so excited to chat with you. Yeah. So you came

into podcast space this year as well. You have Whitwit. Yes. So I just launched it in the spring.

I love it. Honestly, I've never learned so much. I feel like for the first time I'm really living outside of my bubble.

You know, living in Los Angeles, you can really feel isolated from the rest of the world.

It just has like this lens of, I don't know, like everything is great and bubbly and glamorous.

And so you forget like everything else that's going on. And for me,

I've lived here my whole life. So it's really easy for me to put my blinders on. And now, like,

having my podcast, talking to people that are so inspiring and know so much more than me is

just opening up my world. And I feel like making me a better person. I'm sure you feel the same way. I think what I love is it forces me to put down my phone and have a human conversation. I've yet to record one on the phone. Like I do it totally in person. And there's something about that. It's like this human connection thing. And the fact that like you just said, there's so many stories out there and I won't

experience those. It's like I might not experience the same things like I had on somebody who'd been

through human trafficking. And, you know, when you hear these stories and experience, it does change

you. And I was like, without this conversation and without the podcast that pushed me into having
