new to come joyful support movement.

10

illness and children and your girl

is doing her best, doing her best.

11

I am really excited to share

today's episode with you.

12

I found Rebecca Stewart

on Tik TOK last year.

13

Her chill mobility has really helped

me think about, my body , and.

14

Moving it in ways of what it

needs, not necessarily what.

15

Other people tell me to do.

16

I kind of instantly fell in love with

Rebecca and she's kind of one of those

17

souls for me that I'm just so drawn to.

18

And you'll, you know, here.

19

That in this episode, I'm so

excited for you to hear it.

20

We're coming up on the year

anniversary of sharing the middle.

21

And we've got some changes

coming in, all those things.

22

So I just wanted to again,

say, thanks for being here.

23

I love sharing the metal with you.

24

And let's jump right in.

25

Well, you

26

So much for joining me today, Rebecca.

27

I have been a fan of yours

on TikTok for a long time.

28

Track 1: And so I was like, you know what?

29

I'm just gonna shoot my shot and see

if she'd be willing to chat with me,

30

because I love the Chill mobility series.

31

That's what kind of pulled

me into your account.

32

but I also just love your kind of

philosophy about, fitness, which can

33

be really intimidating for a lot of

people and With all this like dike

34

culture and it's a really scary space

and I find you to be a very comfortable

35

spot in that very scary space.

36

So thanks for joining me today.

37

Thank you.

38

Track 1: Yeah.

39

That is like the biggest

40

compliment I could ever receive.

41

Like it makes me honestly tear

up whenever I get a comment that

42

like someone feels like I'm a safe

43

space because that's all I wanna bring

to the fitness world, So Thank you.

44

I really appreciate

45

Track 1: Absolutely.

46

Well, thank you for, being that, because

you know, . You've got your, post about

47

drink water, and I'm like, oh yeah.

48

Have I drank water?

49

I'm usually pretty good.

50

We have a very hydration,

uh, oriented household.

51

Both of my children are the most

hydrated children you'll ever meet.

52

My husband, we like, we all have

giant water bottles, but every

53

once in a while I'm like, wait, I

haven't drank out of my water today.

54

Thank you

55

If you're listening right now,

56

make sure you take sip of water.

57

Track 1: a sip.

58

You what, I'm gonna take a sip right now.

59

I've got my water right here.

60

Me too.

61

Let's do it.

62

Track 1: but why don't you

introduce yourself in your

63

own words for the listeners.

64

I always struggle

65

with this, I never know what's gonna

come out, but, I am a fitness coach,

66

mobility and strength special specialist.

67

and I came into the fitness world

in the height of diet culture.

68

My goal is to just create an inclusive

and accessible and supportive space for

69

people to be in fitness because so much

of the fitness world that a lot of us

70

grew up in is not that or was not that.

71

and I think we're still trying to shift

the mindset that exercise can look

72

like a lot of different things and

it doesn't have to be like an all out

73

go hard or go home type of workout.

74

Even moving your body for just a

little bit can make a big difference.

75

So that's kind of what,

what I do in this space,

76

To just try and make the fitness world

77

a little better.

78

Track 1: and I believe

you are so way to go.

79

thank you.

80

Track 1: I have a silly kind of question.

81

I know what mobility is,

but would you be able to

82

define that

83

Sure.

84

Yeah.

85

So mobility is working

through the end range.

86

Motion or mobility?

87

No.

88

Should take that word out there.

89

Let's start over.

90

you can't define a word by using the word.

91

so mobility is.

92

Using your body through the end range

of motion you have in your joints and

93

mobility work helps us to increase

the range of motion that we have.

94

So it's a little bit different from

flexibility in which your, body's just

95

moving typically a little more passively.

96

Mobility is the active range

that you have with your body.

97

Does that

98

Track 1: makes so much sense and I,

'cause that's what I've always been

99

trying to figure out is the difference

between mobility and flexibility.

100

'cause my brain kind of

sees them at the same thing.

101

, We'll start with our first question.

102

when you first heard the middle,

what was your initial reaction?

103

The middle to me really feels like

104

that space between where you have

been and where you want to be.

105

I was a, an athlete growing up, so I've

always been the person that's like setting

106

goals and doing all that kind of stuff.

107

but I have found too, 'cause I have

multiple chronic illnesses too.

108

I know that you understand that world.

109

sometimes the middle can be not

being able to see what the end is,

110

I feel like sometimes with chronic

illness, we just live in the middle

111

Track 1: we do.

112

Which is part of the reason why

I started this thing is 'cause I

113

was like, oh, this, there is no

cure for what I'm going through.

114

I just have to figure this out and

figure out what life looks like here.

115

There's no finish line, or magical

drug or treatment, what I mean?

116

That kind of thing.

117

We can jump right into your middle moment.

118

We were talking, gonna talk through.

119

feel like mine's a little bit twofold,

120

but, this most recent chronic illness

journey, I'll say, because I've been

121

through a lot of them at this point.

122

I think I have four or five of them.

123

I don't even know.

124

I stopped

125

counting

126

Track 1: It is like a collector's edition,

I have like before my life changing

127

one, I guess I like, I am like, yeah,

I got a couple over those, so I get it.

128

Yeah.

129

Yeah.

130

Yeah.

131

So anyone that's been in that like

chronic illness diagnosis stage,

132

some of them are very cut and dry,

but some of them are not at all.

133

and that was my most recent experience.

134

I started having these symptoms, as

135

and It was really impacting my

life and my ability to do my job.

136

And, the way that I was able

to move my body, which is huge

137

when I'm like in the fitness

138

world and my body is my job,

139

Track 1: sure.

140

so I was having all these wild symptoms.

141

It took me, ended up taking me.

142

Five doctors to get some

form of a diagnosis.

143

but I still that was just back in, in

July, early August, so I still feel

144

like I'm in the middle because it's

not really an official diagnosis.

145

It's This medication seems to be helping.

146

So we'll continue to write

it up and see what happens.

147

Track 1: I do know.

148

I do know from my own experience,

it's interesting to hear you say, well,

149

I have kind of a diagnosis, which is

relatable for me, but this idea that like

150

a diagnosis feels like it's an achie,

like a goal you're trying to achieve.

151

And even when you get it, you're like,

wait, maybe it's not an end point.

152

And it's really hard and confusing to be

able to even define anything, even when

153

you get a definition of what's going on.

154

155

It almost feels like a diagnosis

in the chronic illness world is

156

like the new beginning of the

157

middle, because now you're

just like starting over your

158

life with this new context,

159

but it never really is going

to end for the most part,

160

Track 1: I also find

161

diagnosis is about other

people, not about you.

162

It's about being able to tell

other people what's going on.

163

It's about being able to tell

doctors, insurance companies,

164

all that stuff, what's going on.

165

But at the end of the day, it

doesn't change what you're going

166

through in a lot of cases because

most chronic illnesses I've found

167

Don't have that clear cut

answer there aren't like, oh,

168

we treated doing this, and this.

169

It's let's throw all these different

things at it and see what happens.

170

it's one of those things that you're

like, I have felt, maybe I should say I

171

feel that I've been like reaching for,

but the more that I get closer to one,

172

I'm like, oh, this is for everybody else.

173

Yeah.

174

. That's so real.

175

I was talking, I just, started working

with a therapist shortly after I

176

got this, like pseudo diagnosis

and she was talking to me and she

177

was like, so how does it feel?

178

'cause she's amazing.

179

She's actually previously

a nurse that worked

180

with, complex medical cases.

181

So I feel really

182

blessed to have found her.

183

I feel like she's the perfect fit for me.

184

but she was like, so how does it feel?

185

And I was like, it just, and maybe

this is because I have been through

186

so many diagnosis at this point, I

was just like, it just feels like

187

another day, like now I just keep

moving forward and hopefully we have.

188

More information.

189

Hopefully things are gonna start

feeling better, at the end of the

190

day, there's nothing I can do to

change the fact that I have it.

191

Track 1: I also wonder, and we

don't have to talk about this

192

if you don't have to, but I know

that you have type one diabetes.

193

Which makes everything

way more complicated.

194

And I just, I am curious if that

prevented you from getting diagnoses.

195

'cause everyone wanted to

attribute everything to you that

196

That's a good question.

197

yeah, I think more so, not as much the

198

diabetes, but I do also have

199

Track 1: Well preach.

200

Woo woo.

201

Yeah.

202

.That's one of mine too.

203

I'm like, yeah, I got that one.

204

Check mark

205

Yeah,

206

Track 1: I'm like, yeah, I got that one.

207

Check mark

208

because, one of my major symptoms

209

with this most recent diagnosis was,

I gained 85 pounds in about a year and

210

a half.

211

and yeah, talk about a huge change.

212

And a lot of doctors just wanted to

attribute it to that because they were

213

like, you know that happens with PCOS?

214

And I was like, yeah, but like

I just had this gut instinct

215

that something else was going

216

on,

217

Track 1: as a person with PCOS, it

happens, but it doesn't usually happen if

218

you know you have PCOS and you're managing

it, And so that has always had always

219

been a marker for me as well, of Hey,

something else is going on here because

220

. I'm doing the same stuff I was before.

221

I'm taking all the medicines

you guys want me to take, da.

222

And it's still happening.

223

So

224

at some point we have to recognize,

225

I don't have control over that, which

you, I could get on a soapbox about PCOS

226

and how unsupportive so many doctors are.

227

'cause they don't understand and it's

probably 'cause it's very poorly defined.

228

I don't know.

229

It's fine.

230

But,

231

Yeah.

232

Yeah.

233

Track 1: And everyone's trying their best.

234

And because PCOS itself is such a

bucket of symptoms, so for me, when I

235

was, so I've, I'm a list mine you don't

have, but, so I have, Hashimoto's.

236

I have Hashimoto, so I

237

have, which is a thyroid issue.

238

So I take thyroid medicine every day.

239

I have my PCOS and I have anxiety.

240

And so when I started to not

feel right, I was constantly

241

attributing it to those things.

242

Not as much the Hashimoto's

'cause I'm like, no, I got this.

243

We, I have a deficient, like the logic

of my hormones aren't changing that much.

244

You know what I mean?

245

I'm still taking my medicine every day.

246

It shouldn't have this.

247

but PCOS and anxiety, I,

they're real easy to attribute.

248

Everything too.

249

And it took me a while to even recognize

that what was going on with me was

250

so different because of those things.

251

And so I'm always just curious

252

Yeah.

253

Track 1: others' experience with that.

254

know, Because when you have one

chronic illness, you are more likely

255

to have another chronic illness.

256

same with like autoimmune diseases.

257

If you have one autoimmune disease,

you're more likely to have another one.

258

Yet it still feels like an uphill battle

to get people to take you seriously

259

about them.

260

Yeah.

261

Yeah.

262

I feel that because obviously

the type one diabetes, that was

263

264

and then I was like riding the coattails,

265

I was diagnosed with both PCOS and A DHD.

266

and so I had started on some A DHD

medication just to see if that I was

267

having big problems with memory and

concentration and, like gaps in my

268

memory, not being able to like, remember

things that had happened in the past.

269

And first of all, I had told multiple

doctors that, and it just seemed to go

270

over their head and I was like, that seems

like something that we should talk about.

271

Track 1: It's a big deal, right?

272

right?

273

But, so I tried a DHD medication

and nothing really seems

274

to help.

275

Which was another indication to me that

something is going on more so than just

276

like what I'm currently already dealing

277

with,

278

Track 1: absolutely.

279

And trusting and learning your own

body as one of the hardest things

280

that, and I going back to, I blame

diet culture for, I don't wanna say

281

I blamed it, but I, so I've always

been big, so my entire life I was

282

always the tallest girl in the room.

283

I was always big.

284

I'm big boned.

285

I could lose a hundred pounds

and still be big, It could never,

286

that's never gonna change for me.

287

and so

288

my whole life I have been

fighting my body to not be big

289

and I've never trusted my body.

290

because of that diet culture, because,

seventh, eighth grade, I'm trying

291

diets, So I just, I, it's been radical

really for me, the past year of oh.

292

I can actually trust that my

body's telling me something.

293

and I imagine for you to go through

such a big change in something

294

that's your job, like your physical

job had to have been really tough.

295

So I would love to hear more about

that kind of part of this medal.

296

Yeah, I, so I have aligned

297

myself with more with body

298

neutrality, which is just accepting

your body the way that it is.

299

And I don't think that you

have to love your body.

300

I think that's a really hard

step for a lot of people.

301

Just being able to appreciate everything

that your body does for you, and

302

the fact that in, in my opinion,

weight gain and weight loss are

303

neutral, and weight

maintenance is neutral.

304

So there's nothing bad about either

one, but it was the quickness

305

with which that gained the weight.

306

That told me that flagged my

brain, something is wrong.

307

Like people don't just up and gain.

308

I was gaining like 15,

30 pounds in a month.

309

that's not normal,

310

Track 1: No.

311

Especially if your job is fitness related,

so it's not like you're doing nothing

312

313

Yeah.

314

and if anything, I was more active

than I had been pre covid because

315

pre covid, I was working a desk job.

316

I worked at a

317

nonprofit.

318

so I was more active after the pandemic

started than I had been before.

319

And I hadn't changed anything

about my diet or my, eating habits

320

or, was more active than not.

321

But I would go to doctors and they'd be

like, just, try and eat a little bit less.

322

And I'm like, but you never asked

me how much I'm eating to begin

323

with that was a really hard

part of be, because movement is

324

such a huge part of what I do.

325

Like I would have to modify, I'm also,

I had Not competing right now, but

326

had been a competitive power lifter.

327

so I had to modify the way that

I was lifting weights because

328

my body had changed so much, and

ended up injuring my back a little

329

bit because of that at one point.

330

and just being able to, I, I was

so fatigued with everything that

331

was going on with my health.

332

My joints were in pain all the time.

333

My muscles were in pain all the time.

334

So just trying to like .Change

weights out, ReRack weights for my

335

clients, and move through my day

and be as active as I needed to be.

336

My body was screaming at me

that something was wrong,

337

Track 1: I also just wanna take a minute

and say, thank you and kudos in your

338

explanation of how the weight gain.

339

Does not have anything to do

with you and your self-image.

340

Like it changed the way you

lived your day-to-day life.

341

And I think a lot of times when

people are talking about weight

342

gain, they're only thinking about

that physical appearance aspect and

343

other people and that kind of stuff.

344

And I think that's something that

I've had a hard time figuring out

345

in the bo body positivity space of

like where Where are those lines?

346

What, how do we talk about our bodies

when there is something wrong and the

347

weight gain is a problem, but it's

not because it's a problem in itself.

348

Did that make sense?

349

I,

350

yeah.

351

it's not necessarily just a problem for

352

your appearance, which it can be for some

353

people, and I think

it's totally valid too.

354

if people do wanna change their

appearance, I'm fine with that.

355

But the way that your body moves

through space and the way that.

356

You're able to get up and down

from the floor or bend over or

357

something can be drastically impacted

by, what, how your body feels.

358

Track 1: Sorry.

359

Now my brain is just really going into the

physicality of the middle that I haven't

360

really thought about before about that,

361

about sorry, my brain is like literally

going in 20 different directions

362

right now, so I apologize for my

363

STI ring.

364

But I, it is so interesting

though that our body is always

365

in a state of middle, right?

366

It's always

367

in some kind of process doing something

and we are always in the state of middle.

368

'cause you're born, your body's

always doing something and you die.

369

And so it's just interesting to think

about the body's experience of the middle.

370

I didn't mean to get like super deep.

371

I promise.

372

No, absolutely, because it, our

373

bodies are meant to shift and they

do that sometimes to protect us.

374

Sometimes it's in response to stress that

we're going through, or sometimes it's in

375

response to change in lifestyle habits.

376

Sometimes it's just in response to

like When people get pregnant, they

377

have to, their body has to shift.

378

if you wanna talk about body

379

shifting in one way or the

other, that's a huge example of

380

of that.

381

I haven't been through it, but I know you

382

Track 1: I have twice I would . I

would not recommend it to people.

383

my children are the greatest

gift I've ever had in my life.

384

I love them more than anything.

385

All of that stuff.

386

But pregnancy was very difficult for me.

387

But I think I also just the more that

we talk about, I'm like, as women,

388

I think it, it is probably a little

different for men where they go

389

through puberty and then they're just.

390

Consistent the rest of their lives.

391

Now there's of course, aging and whatnot,

but like women, have a cycle every month

392

they go through puberty and menopause.

393

They have op, the opportunity potentially

for pregnancy to change their body.

394

And so I just, I do think that there is

something about the physical female body

395

that Is in more fluxx and is more change.

396

And I think that probably

397

traditional medicine has not clued in on

that because I, there, there's so many

398

things that it's oh, they didn't know this

about women's bodies until 20 years ago.

399

And I'm like, wait, I was in high

school and we didn't know about this.

400

Yeah.

401

'cause women weren't included in

research studies until I don't know the

402

exact date, but it was not that long

ago that women started being, have to

403

include it in, in research studies.

404

Track 1: Yeah, and I bet in the fitness

space especially, which is very masculine,

405

male dominated, there's also this element

of, you do this to get this outcome.

406

And women's bodies are just so

different in a lot of ways when it

407

comes to, I went to their chromosomes.

408

And I just wanna say, I'm using

the term women very loosely here.

409

we're talking about chromosomes,

which is different than gender.

410

I just wanna be very clear.

411

But, yeah, it's very.

412

Sorry.

413

Now my brain was like, Ugh.

414

And then, for those who are trans, they're

in a, okay, I'm, I need to calm down.

415

I know.

416

And so my brain is just really going

through how this change and this process,

417

especially thinking about this, where you

are and where you're going is inescapable.

418

Yeah, the body is so complex

419

and a lot of, fitness culture,

diet culture on the internet.

420

it's hard because we have to like, put

out content generally that's so quick,

421

so people will pay attention to it.

422

But because of that, it turns into

all this Polarizing thinking it's

423

either this way or it's this way.

424

And there's so much nuance in the

middle that doesn't really get a lot

425

of attention on social media because

it's just harder to get that to, quote

426

unquote go viral or get the views or

427

whatever.

428

but yeah, the body is so complex

and it can't be boiled down to

429

just, A or B most of the time.

430

Track 1: I think that's a

really, great transition.

431

'cause I also wanna know about where

you came up with chill mobility

432

and how that became what it is.

433

which I think really cool.

434

Thank you.

435

so yeah, chill mobility for me

was just born out of necessity

436

of getting myself to move again.

437

going through this chronic illness

piece, it's interesting to look back

438

on now that I feel like I'm starting

to get to a more positive side

439

in my, mental and physical state.

440

Things are changing in a positive way now

that I've started on some new medication.

441

Looking back, I was in a terrible mental

space and physical space to be honest.

442

like last summer, fall, winter, I was, if

we wanna get real candid, like questioning

443

whether life was worth it anymore,

if I was going to make it to 35 or

444

40 with the way that my body

was so rapidly declining, and my

445

body felt so bad all the time.

446

And I as a, movement is my job.

447

Track 1: Yeah.

448

if I couldn't get myself to do my

449

mobility work, I was like, I need to

have some sort of accountability out

450

there that, if I can just The very first

chill mobility video I put out there.

451

I sat down with my coffee.

452

I, and I told myself it, it says in the

video, I can have an extra cup of coffee

453

this morning if I do my mobility work.

454

and so I just put the camera up, I

recorded it and I did a little voiceover.

455

I wasn't expecting anything out of it.

456

I was just like, if I put these videos

out, maybe it'll help one person to learn

457

that Five minutes or less of movement can

make such a big difference in their life.

458

Track 1: and I wanna chime in and

it's movement that is so accessible.

459

So for me, as a person with a chronic

illness who . Was basically bed bound.

460

It's wait, I can, I have the capacity

for a minute or two to sit up

461

And, like I would move like from my

legs to have a better hip mobility.

462

I don't remember which

one, but it was just like

463

Yeah.

464

Track 1: I could do that.

465

And for me, fitness is still a

big question mark because if I,

466

with chronic fatigue syndrome,

that could make me go backwards.

467

But I, it also could help me build

it up and it's a big old question

468

mark and I'm still trying to figure

it out, but knowing it's I can do

469

this one thing for my body today of

just, a few minutes of this mobility.

470

And it's different than stretching.

471

which I actually really like that

it's different from stretching.

472

'cause stretching feels very

'cause I'm not flexible.

473

I'm like the least one of the least

flexible people you ever meet.

474

My whole family is but my body can move.

475

It can move from here to

476

can move from here to here.

477

And so to be able to do those things

that, you know, . Hopefully, I need

478

to be better about it, that it could

be something you do for the rest

479

of your life to keep you moving.

480

so I just wanted to pause there

and say that it's very accessible

481

when we talk about movement.

482

We're talking about the movement

you do every day, that when you

483

do this mobility, it makes your.

484

day-to-Day life feel better.

485

'cause I'm not about you.

486

I'm never like, oh, good stretch.

487

I'm gonna be a better person tomorrow.

488

That doesn't usually happen for me,

, but with the mobility, I could tell

489

the France that my bus, my muscles

and joints are moving differently.

490

yeah.

491

Yeah.

492

What I like to say is that mobility

helps you move with more ease and less

493

pain.

494

And whether it's you do it in the

morning before you start the day,

495

so you feel a little bit better,

or, if you work a desk job or if

496

you are, bed bound or chair bound.

497

sometimes just a little bit of

movement can help those like aches

498

and pains and tightness that you

feel and shift it out just enough

499

that things feel a little bit better.

500

And that's my goal with to

mobility is just to help people

501

just feel a little bit better.

502

'cause that can make such a huge impact.

503

Track 1: It really can.

504

It really can.

505

And I think I didn't understand that

506

until I couldn't do things.

507

And I think, it's sad that a lot of

times we don't necessarily appreciate

508

something until you can't do it.

509

when I'm, talking, like I, when I try

to help like my mom understand what I'm

510

going through, I'm like, okay, I want you

the next time you go to a shower, think

511

about every time you lift your arms up.

512

If that is hard for you to do, can

you see where, man showers are just

513

take a lot, or loading the dishwasher.

514

How many times do you bend down to bend

back up when you're doing the dishwasher?

515

And it's those little things that

can be really hard specifically

516

for me and in what I go through.

517

and so I recognize now oh,

when my body does this.

518

It is something.

519

It's not nothing, and I appreciate it.

520

I have one, in-person one-on-one

521

client, that I started working with

recently and doing some mobility

522

work and strength training, and they.

523

Had a pretty severe shoulder injury

and in the shower or like putting on

524

deodorant, couldn't reach around to even

touch their other side of their armpit.

525

And now since starting doing

mobility work and strengthening that

526

shoulder, they can reach over and

do that for the first time in years.

527

And you just think about the impact

that has on your life if you can

528

shift even that much to be able to

529

move.

530

to a place that you couldn't before,

531

like that has an impact

on your daily life.

532

Track 1: absolutely.

533

And all the places you can go now.

534

Absolutely.

535

I do usually like to bookend our

conversation with, a piece of advice.

536

'cause I love a good takeaway or tangible.

537

So what piece of advice would you like

to maybe either give yourself previously,

538

other people, what would you like to say?

539

Yeah, I think, it works in both

540

accounts for the chronic illness

and the, fitness mobility space.

541

just that the one thing that I

always had to hold onto in the

542

last year was that there's always

hope that things can get better.

543

and sometimes you just need

to find one thing to hold

544

onto used to imagine my Future

545

self a year ago, I would imagine my

future self just saying, wait for me,

546

because think, oh my God, I'm gonna cry.

547

wait for me because things

are gonna get better.

548

and if you can have one thing that you

can hold onto whatever that is, whether

549

it's reaching out to a friend or knowing

that Just moving a little bit every day is

550

gonna make you feel a little bit better.

551

Find one thing to hold onto because

that can make all the difference.

552

Track 1: I really love that.

553

I also, it's very timely for me

because we're almost to what I'm

554

calling, like my year anniversary of

my . I'm like, it's disability really.

555

where my life drastically

changed and I didn't know where

556

I would be a year from then.

557

So to think of like

558

me then to see me now of Hey,

you're still working through it.

559

All this cool stuff.

560

That's really cool.

561

So thank you.

562

I really appreciate

563

that

564

Think it's important too to life

565

is always gonna have its ups and

downs, but when you're in the

566

downs, there can, there's only up

567

to go,

568

Track 1: Absolutely.

569

is a cliche thing that everybody

570

says, but there's always hope

that things can get better.

571

You never know what could

happen tomorrow or a

572

year from now.

573

Track 1: thank you so

much for joining me today.

574

Where can people find you?

575

All of that good stuff.

576

yeah.

577

I'm on all the social medias,

at Rebecca stewart.co.

578

and I can, I think

579

Track 1: Yeah, I'll put

those all in the show notes.

580

perfect.

581

but yeah, you can find me

on Instagram and TikTok.

582

I'm much more active on, TikTok, but I'm

trying to get into the YouTube space.

583

I have some plans.

584

It hasn't happened yet, but we'll see.

585

Track 1: It is so much work.

586

That's why like we're

recording this video.

587

Will I ever do anything with it?

588

Probably not 'cause it's so much work.

589

It's It really is

590

Track 1: So I, I don't blame you at all.

591

thank you for sharing

the middle with me today.

592

I really appreciate it and, for

sharing and being vulnerable.

593

Thank you.

594

Yeah.

595

Thank you for doing this because it's,

I told you by DM a while back, I was

596

going through a really tough time

597

this summer and listening to one of

your episodes, I don't remember who

598

was on it, but it was an episode about

grief and that really helped me in

599

that period of time that I was in.

600

so I thank you for starting

this and doing what you're doing

601

because it's making a difference.

602

Track 1: Oh, thank you.

603

I needed to hear that today too.
