This is the 100th time you've had to listen to this stupid introduction.

My name is Andrea and this is It Old Child.

Welcome back to It Old Child, where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

Hi, my chichos. It is episode 100 so you know I'm gonna say chichon chichon chichon chichon number 100.

Oh God, how do you guys listen to me? I'm serious.

So today in, of course in divinely timing, that doesn't make sense, in divine timing,

we have more of the tale of two Brian's to be told today.

So I received a message from a listener who discovered the podcast after she went on her second date with the, yes, the Brian number two.

Okay, if you are new, go back and listen to the first episode.

I think it'll make this episode more enjoyable, but it's messages like these that remind me whenever I'm that feeling of self doubt comes up within me,

it is moments like these that remind me that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing and that I don't need to worry.

That my higher power is taking care of me. So really excited for you guys to hear this conversation with her.

I also wanted to say to another divine moment happened a year ago, I shared this on the podcast, but for anybody who perhaps didn't hear me share this,

is that a year ago on my birthday, so January 27th, 2022, I received a message from Brian number one.

So it had been like, you know, I don't know, five years since I had dated him.

And this is what he said. He said, hello, hope all is well.

I've been following you on Instagram and what you're doing is incredible.

I'm struggling with alcoholism and have been to 30 day treatment twice since I saw you.

And this disease is why I couldn't connect with you and I'm so sorry for that.

Your message is connective, truthful, and no doubt helped many people, including me.

So thank you. I wish you success and the best life has to offer.

I read that. I had chills.
