I wanted to make something that fit into the mold of like what I would be proud to share,

but now I'm kind of like, you know what?

Maybe the self-help thing, like I think everyone would be kind of into it now.

Like, it's like, whatever.

And that's kind of what this even is.

So being yourself is cool.

Hi, welcome back. This week. It's a little bit different. It's not recorded in a studio or even my studio apartment where it's usually recorded because we're going

to a party. Get ready. Maybe we're there already. It's the recording of the launch party to the

zine that I made this summer. It's called Pivot and maybe you heard about it last week's episode

with my friend Simmy, who is the first person to read it. But this one's a little bit different.

Manage your audio expectations accordingly

because, like I said, it's recorded in the middle of a party and I had the best time.

I'm so grateful that I got to do it. It was great to just be out of the house. I honestly

was really moved in the middle of it, which you'll hear. I look around the

room. So many of my friends were there and so many of those people helped me this year when I

broke my leg and spent most of the summer in a cast and really couldn't do much and needed

rides to doctor's appointments and groceries

and everyone was so supportive and kind and I feel closer with everyone because of it and so many

of those people were in in this room and that was really special and it was moving to look around and get to see them and

and celebrate something that I am excited about which was progress you know I think I

again you'll hear me talk about in this but I was pretty bummed and I needed to do something

and this was a low-hanging fruit.
