what saraphina and I were in a entrepreneurial book club where Stephanie never read the right book and Stephanie was terrible at this book I really Su at CL I did not fabulous I'm what I just had a visual I just had a visual I proud of it hello and good morning good morning good morning Monday here we are you had a huge weekend so you get an extra Monday it's it's been extra Monday like I'll tell you that right now I just want to make sure that we're audible um can you hear us I don't know I'm like I I've had one of those weekends where I'm like is it going to go wrong it's going to go wrong hey you can hear us good all right so I've got breed with me in the studio I am pretty pumped about it how about that weekend everybody yeah I mean I was texting you from a side cheering you on thank you very much for that I know are you so cold and my response nothing I texted her nothing I saw it come up and I have like that if you are my friend please understand that when I get hurried busy and I've got 47 texts and you're texting me non-emergent things I'm not getting back to you until I can actually focus and read what you've said yep well you should tell those people that aren't your friend CU all your friends know that this is like old news yeah right right so if if you're not on the regular roll of decks and I have not gotten back to you it's not emergent and I am in the middle of something but when I have a moment to sit and process the words in which you've texted me I will get back to you I feel bad because you know there are a couple of my friends that were just like Dead Sea Scrolls by the time I got up and started reading through them on Sunday yeah and I was like that's a lot like isn't it awful when you get a 40 seven page novel from one of your friends and your response is wow that seems difficult for you yeah don't do that it's not that I'm a bad friend it's just like there it was like total rant yeah like there was it probably happened Saturday so now it's Sunday night and like yeah it's been ongoing for like the past couple of weeks and all I asked was how did that work out for you I knew they had a court date on Monday and they were going through like something serious and I heard from them and I was like all right it's been you know my circle of I haven't heard from you in a while how are things yeah you haven't looked at my Facebook I'm like no oh gosh you got that girl no oh social media come on come on you shouldn't be I shouldn't be on social media actually lost a friend two years ago to that oh I have two actually where I didn't see what was going on in their life on Facebook and I did not reach out to them sooner yeah on Facebook are you kidding me right now and I was shunned yeah yeah I've had it happen twice and I actually just had a friend that's gotten off social and she keeps apologizing to me I'm like I'm glad you're off social we text that's not real life yeah I don't care that you're not on social that that's like a check you don't like it so we're in a fight like no what's up Nate hello Catherine I've got fre in the studio with me this morning and uh yeah we're just talking about when you get real busy and this time of year everybody's real busy there's so many things happening why do we cram it all into one month I know we do that I don't know let's really like start that Christmas and July thing although July's really busy too how about Christmas in March I'm down for that it's Patty's Day there's always something to celebrate yeah we'll just put a little wreath around him does anybody else feel rushed I feel rushed year round though well yeah I mean now time just flies like that that used to say I when I first had kids they were like oh now you're really gonna know what it's like but everyone is like just holding on for the freaking ride just nonstop can't stop won't stop but wait let's stop I know thank you for that cuz it is Monday I do need to remind myself to take care of myself I have been better about it yeah you did some selfcare this morning yeah I did yeah that's going to be a good one for you yeah I took a moment we we planned a vacation we it little ghet what did I do this morning I'm like wait what if you guys could see that profile that was hysterical vacation you planned a vacation this this is how my life is now though I have a lot of hat yeah and I was like what so that was my Facebook question of the day today is what are we complaining about today not because I'm like a complainer it's because I Fe I've been Fielding a lot of complaints it's cold I don't like this I don't like my spot that person's looking at me I'm busy I was dumbed down you know this has been a good reminder on how to treat people is spending a lot of time in uncomfortable situations this past few weeks MH doing something new right yeah totally good morning Miss Emily Katherine why do we want hi Emily why do we try and out busy each other it's all relative to what's going on Nate social media is fake wish people would just text me more often it's 100% true we live this like narrative right yeah and it's like it's a Time suck too so it's like if you shut social that's what my girlfriend did she took it off of her phone and set like a timer or something on you got to like make a decision to be on it less and like actually interact with people more so when we decide to make that decision and then we go out and interact with people more there is a big disconnect right now and how to treat people yeah it's the holidays people are short you're tired you're probably over sugared you're probably not getting the amount of things that you need to do to take care of yourself and then to turn around and be so unkind grinches the word of the day is Grinch you want a grinch go to Crispy Cream they've got Grinch donut that's where you leave your Grinch yeah good morning Miss Sandy Sandy was in the parade over the weekend morning sand on the petty cab driving driving her little mermaids got to do it it was cold yeah right it was cold and that's where that's where I saw people's bad attitudes start happening so where does a complaint become a fact because it was cold yeah that is not a complaint that is a fact yeah but it's how you deal with the situation I hate the cold girl are you dressed up are you bundled are you doing all the things that you could possibly do to make yourself uncomfortable I guess like wet is worse right yeah that would be worse I had one of our vendors and she's adorable she'll come back in in the spring and um in the in the summer with us and uh she just said you know what I'm I'm packing up I'm going home she goes I thought I was Stronger Than This I'm not yeah see that's how you stop right and I was like okay yeah like she I was like I totally understand we'll catch you this summer we'll have your spots ready everybody loves you I get it I totally understood this was past your capacity to deal with something yeah and that is the way to handle it instead of like suffering and complaining and making everybody else around you now complain about you complaining goes goes goes it's a snowball so can I just ask of you when you are in a an uncomfortable situation maybe take a step back and remove yourself from that it's okay cycle and it's okay we get it yeah we are all not happy Holly and jolly but I put on that fraking elf costume yesterday and so did my husband and I saw picture this is how we're ending this Market husband of the year he goes what I'm not doing that he had a smile on his face yeah oh he 100% did I said we're just gonna put it on I want one photo we'll do a loop around the market this is I just wanted one I tried to get the kids involved Lily also is an elf costume and Cody has his Buddy the elf costume they were not having it they're like it's cold I'm not doing that yeah but we all did take a moment yesterday get food from the food truck go inside of a heated area in our our Market vehicle and sit and eat a meal together all together and stop for a minute and just say you know what I'm thankful for you you guys did so much hard work yeah I appreciate you yeah let's have this monster chicken sandwich dripping everywhere and be disgusting by ourselves away from people yeah well like I was saying just got bigger each week too I mean I hope you are so damn proud of yourself because that was incredible I could not do anything without miss Emily and the amount of people that were terrible to her mean to her and I was so proud of her yesterday when one of the vendors was trying to tell her how to do her job and she was like if you don't like it sir you can leave good for you walked away yes yes and sometimes we just have to decide to not absorb that negative energy and say not for for me not today yeah walk it away it's huge you know and somebody uh keyboard Warrior decided to get and complain about the the market on social and she was a new crafter she's not one of our regulars and a few people went to our defense so much so the admin of the page removed the post yeah because there were several people that did not agree with her and it's nice to know that in those moments where you don't have to agree with people sometimes you don't have to accept what their Narrative of the thing is and just walk away yeah so I'm not starting this on negativity and when you see this what are we complaining about today it's really just me being flippant and having a joke because everybody's got to complain about something leave it on my Facebook page and don't take it out into public is what I'm trying to say lock it up lock it up leave it there and move on with your day complain to The Ether yeah and get out and go live your life and spread the positive energy please and thank you yes and sometimes that positive energy is f off I like that yeah put that foot down Sarah Larry Mr positivity himself over there happy Larry the lawyer Marie good morning beautiful ladies so says Victoria yay carving out that moment for grubs I appreciate it uh Mari Mary thank you so much for joining us good morning everyone Cindy Tara good morning sunshine how are the lobsters were fantastic so we got lobsters last night that were uh thank you very much for our local Fisher and uh they had a popup at the market and so we grabbed some lobsters and they were phenomenal Eva in fact went and bought one so she could join us for dinner good good good my son did a no thank you taste of lobster and my husband ended up making him shrimp there we go and then we ate his Lobster so that was not a problem no don't worry honey yes not a problem at all Jeff uh also our friend grabbed some Lobster and he was boasting about them on social media yesterday those are the things I like show me pretty food yes MH trust me I found all of it yesterday these markets needed to come to an end well that's the holidays right you were saying we're not like nurturing ourselves no feeding ourselves the amount of cookie yeah I'm feeding myself all right cookies candy I feel like I'm elf yeah Will feral oh candy corn candy canes I'll have thatle syrup right and then rounded it off with Girl Scout cookies last night I was like I am disgusting I mean the lobster was steamed I did I had such a healthy dinner and then I went upstairs and had Girl Scout cookies in the tub yes see really don't judge me I'm loving you it's like there are coconut crumbs in the tub you are gross hey calone take me away has a ho deal with that that's later Stephanie's problem so how are we taking care of ourselves Bri is here to talk a little bit about that balance Center no but it's worth it it is worth it yeah the center you have not been in there yet no I know I do have plans okay good that's future Stephanie's plan that's future Stephanie plans yes true though so so the Center opened beginning in November and we've got an incredible team down there um all sorts of modalities because it's health and wellness and health is defined by everyone differently I did drive into the parking lot though I was getting F next door we hopefully fresh roll it was fresh roll I did I get the fa because it was delicious their soup was so good I needed soup it's been cold and I was like what has vegetables what is going to make me feel good and I ran into my friend Jamie Shu who owns the bagel Haven and she's like I'm going in for a Kung Fu and I was like awesome yes so I was like I'll be in there soon I'm eating sue bye see you g to go super but I was excited to see her excitement yeah as a business owner and she even posted on social that she has never been so busy in her entire life but now she's got two days off she's got staff that are Staffing her two businesses and she's there taking kung fu for her mental health and I was like that's how you know you've made it yeah I feel like as a small business owner as an entrepreneur we do not take these moments for ourselves and and it was so nice to see her shiny Aura her brightness when she popped out of that car and was like I'm going to Kungfu shine bright is actually the name of our membership so we're doing it yes it's those little things yeah it's great well the thing is everyone defines Wellness differently so we have art classes we have music classes we have martial arts we have traditional Fitness um so we want be a people to be able to come in and find their Center so frequently we're trying to tell people what to do instead of giving them their space to discuss what is best for them so we we have all of the modalities covered we're trying to do tons of popups this weekend is slammed we're doing a succulence workshop a crocheting Workshop um then we've got a I actually have a free weekend I know when you said that I'm like maybe it'll be this it might be this weekend what's up Miss T she said good morning my beautiful friends thin mins for the win for you Nate and Karen says good morning C Cod I love the center fitness martial arts recovery support yes yeah we're so yeah we're so grateful for the support karine's been amazing and that's what it's that's what it's about you know when you are first opening your doors it's quiet so if there's four people coming in there that are pumped like that's a huge win and people are really really really so kind and so supportive so we haven't had many grinches in can I tell you about a one miss Karine castanza this woman was our freaking savior at the parade over the weekend yeah she was there early she was there set up she was there to lend a helping hand she went home for a costume change she then grabbed a walkie-talkie she then was holding banners you I when I talk about a human being that literally is like what do you need what can I do for you give me that out of your hands she is that person and honestly we came home and my daughter was like I called her Karin by accident and then I had to ask her her name she goes mom she is the best and she's just like one of the best people World better I'm I wish there were a million kin of the world and um let that be a word to my board out there where Karine was doing the job of seven volunteers hint it's not a very subtle hint we gonna have a conversation on Thursday at our meeting aren't we what the hell and here's Monday morning Steph back in the building here she is here she is what the heck no I really I was like shot I was like Lily we have to find something nice for Karine cuz I have to thank and I know you don't need to people with things but I felt so compelled because here is someone that was just like what do I do to help you and with a smile on her face like she's a pleasure to spend time with she's a joy to be around yeah thank you Karine thank you thank you thank you honestly I I could not have done that without you and I literally cried on the way home probably also because I was cold and hadn't had one stitch of food or drink for 13 hours so I was not by myself so you earned that big chicken sandwich on Sunday I ate everything yesterday all of the things what's up Ryan thank you no Lobster went to waste Jeff don't do not worry about that not onefit um so we're talking about the center Bri is here and you you've had a moment of growth in there oh yeah where you're like oh my God girl this is a lot for me yeah oh she's help me while I've cried yeah I mean I was solo for nine years and so I went from solo to a business partner and a team of 10 you know that's a lot it's it's a lot to change and I care about humans so much like the LA like the last thing I ever want to do is disappoint someone or hurt someone so managing I mean I like my emotions I don't want them to go anywhere so you know making sure that I'm emotionally mature and making the best decision for the community and listening because we're new and again we're here to show up for you so it's it's like to just quiet myself not very good at that no it's hard yeah yeah and listens but we have had people reach out to us which has been very helpful we just started we just got an acupuncturist we did um grief Circle over the past weekend so that's what's really important for us too is to know that we're there for you so reach out to us if you need something if you want something if you have an idea and we'll figure it out well a lot of the time people don't know what they need right you got all this feeling you got all this stuff going on with you and you don't want to bother other people with it and you don't want to share the fact that you're at a soft moment in your life and it's uncomfortable and it's icky and you don't know what to do but that's where you grow but sometimes you just need to go to a place and just be yeah I find that if I let myself just sit and bed rot and not do anything for myself it's not good I'm thankful that I've got a great community and a bunch of friends and family to be able to check in on me and pull me out of that space when I get into it but it was so nice to have you just come and be like I I'm I I don't know what to do yeah and it was just emotional it wasn't like a physical business thing it like this is hard I think I'll never even like the the squeak in your voice like this is hard it is but we're here to do hard things right yes we are yeah and that's my class is called open strength because I've been a personal trainer for so long yeah and literally in the middle of the class all of a sudden I'll be watering our plants that's called ADHD yeah so and I'm not changing it and I'm not medicating myself so if you don't like that style don't come to my class but if you need a space where you can squirrel come to open strength that's so important yes yeah it is I think that we now really need to start working with the way people are right that's or at least like you were just saying discovering who we are you know what I mean and stop trying to change it and stop trying to mold yourself just come be chaos with me we'll be just fine I know and that's frustrating to a lot of people I know my husband's a systems person and if it's not a systems they get all out of whack we have 27 classes a week so you there are lots of options it's not the Brie show it's your Center so I love that good morning Dave hagner good morning Dave Noble Karen G thank you so much for joining us guys thank you so it's Bri and I we're talking about chaos calm we're talking about the center that's going to be the name of our show creating Cal at the end of your chaotic week so on Lemon will be on Friday nights yeah I'm really looking forward to that because I think it's just a nice chat a good check in a good way to find people that are are in a space where they don't know where that spaces right I don't know what it is yeah help help will help and it's okay to be that way I think that we need to be told that often yeah weekly daily it doesn't need to be our Dirty Little Secret you know like just just embrace it you know I've I've taken on a lot I've bitten off a lot more than I can chew and that Susie um one of one of my workers is she's she's amazing she's my assistant she really stepped it up and she's like I just love how you were like well well it is what it is but you you have to be yeah I said how do you that's how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time right you're just going to take what I can take today and then that was it we're going to close this day and we'll do it again tomorrow yeah you're going to keep showing up just keep showing up keep making those decisions to show up make those decisions to show up and embrace the ugly or the hard or the you know the ick you got to embrace that because it's not going to always be shining bright just when you're going to the center well this time of year brings up a lot of that I feel like it's super emotional Full Moon by the way yesterday today saw some really beautiful photos of it Rising Nixie was noticing it even I love when that kid slows me down go ahead and mock me but I definitely feel full moon energy I don't know what it is people just get a little it's just a lot coming at us it is yeah it's like I mean I definitely definitely feel it I try try to just stay present in where I need to be but you know how many gifts are you getting your kids and you know it's not and people aren't even asking because they care how much I'm getting it's because they want permission to get their kid less yeah they're like are you only getting four gifts well I love that I have to get a dozen Victoria said radical self-acceptance I think it's it's a game changer when you just decide that this is this is who I am this is how I'm going to be and if you don't like it that's okay too yeah stop comparing yourself to everybody we get in that space more bigger better more toys more stuff more things you know what we're given we're giv white waterer rafting we're giving ziplining like that and well wrap them because I I love rapping like I want to rap you know the ribbons and the bows but it's not because it's stuff I'll rap for you you pour you pour the eggnog and keep the music don't you remember I'm the one at the craft parties like crack and standup jokes I'm like I'm I'm not doing that I do not do that but I here for moral support I'll crack a couple of jokes you guys paint away it took me all day we had a we had a girlfriend party rapping party one year do you remember this it was at your tiny apartment in Mash P so there was like 17 girls piled in there and everybody's wrapping things in the entire party I wrapped one gift I am so bad at rapping but you're really good and having fun and I think you re it for me at the end of all of that was like glad I could help I've already been teaching my kids to rap so whoever marries them in the future my husband is Santa he's a rapper he loves it see that's all that it takes there's something about specifics angles M Cliff I'm with you Cuts I like the dimensions oh God no throw I'm a throwing in a bag kind of gal no wrap it in tissue paper no nobody cares about this rapping anyway when I grew up under the tree I don't know whether it's because my parents both came from like it immigrant families with no money and 87 children um but my gifts were never wrapped I was just gonna I didn't want to interrupt you my gifts were never wrapped either that's why I love rapping you went the opposite H the pile the pile I went the opposite way I'm like why are we wasting this this is very wasteful I can't so wasteful oh my gosh then I woke up in the middle of the night to my one of my husband's dumb shows on not g about all the carbon we're wasting and how we're all dying I was like what I can't watch this my daughter is home taking her she's got two exams this morning and she's taking two of them virtually and she's like Mom what is my climate change class it's depressing we're all just we're all dead like oh my God we're living we're living I'm pretty sure you're alive right now so I think it's fine yeah we're all dead we're just dead see it oh Lily why are you teaching these children we're going to be fine G to be fine I can't so the kids are coming home from college she you know she has to go back to school for one not even what about the carbon foot pit what were we just talking about you for not even a test she has to physically turn in a paper oh my God and put it in a professor's hand at that point it's just like a Power Trip 100% yeah and he's like I you know that's on the rubric that's the way it's got to be she's emailed them like I I live on the cape I I'm already home are the um dorms closed no oh well no they're open until that day yeah oh come on it's like okay thanks a lot Power Trip well that's why I just told her to I said come home this weekend and then when we got her home I was like guess what you're working she's like you tried me that's what we do you trick us all the time y like when you take my debit card and say that you need girl things and then all of a sudden you have hair dye anytime she says the word I know tampons my husband's like take it away then all of a sudden she's got new makeup hair dy I was like you were swindled yeah you from CBS later like those are expensive girl things uh are there any drones in there no drones we're safe down here in the lemonade o Studio from drones cold we are more cold though what is the obsession with the drones going on right now you know I gotta say I appreciate my husband's attitude he's like I don't even care he's like if they were something we would know it it's nothing watch me what what what there no it's very unexciting around here what are we supposed to do about it I mean they arrested people that were just regular drone holders like with a license not doing anything oh yeah you do need a license for a drone it's just weird yeah it is there's a lot weird but yeah that is weird yeah and they're everywhere too so that's but why are we dredging up all of this hysteria but it's not really hysteria it's just the media right when I was walking I saw several thousand of people all all weekend long you know what we weren't talking about we're drones yes none of us exactly we were not living in fear we weren't I had a parade of people I had a full day of stroll at The Bash B cins we had a full Market going on Saturday and Sunday not one conversation about a drone thank Christmas I appreciate you thank Christmas

with my peeps and busy busy busy we're all trying to out busy each other you know one one like little thing in my mind that I always try to say myself to to myself is like this is the Molasses you

it's true though like those moments like that chicken sandwich like that's what's that's the really important stuff not how like there wer there weren't any mistakes not how one person had to leave or you got this post on that it's like the connection and the sweetness and it does take time and it is worth it to slow down it is not mud it is molasses yeah enjoy it yeah I do even when I was grubbing all of us all of us I know I know but you know when you're in that and when you're like feel like you're you're treading water and you're like oh my gosh it's not happening fast enough or oh my God oh

that yes now everything closes at 9: go home they are serious about that oh they are serious she's said 68 everything closes that night just go just go home what's up Tom hey Lindsay Christy page how the heck are you thanks for joining us I will send Cliff for a massage he actually really needs it and she said Frankie and I have to check that out yes bring friends bring family go check out their musician jam and it's nice that we've got that space I think people forget that steeple Street Music is not only a music school and class but it's also a performance venue and they get some really cool performers in there yeah it's a great spot I know that they were looking to house some musicians coming up uh in this spring so if you've got an extra bedroom and you want to have a cool musician stay with you for a night or two while they're performing definitely reach out to Steeple Street Music and uh talk to Demetrius about setting that up because you know they don't have a ton of money and we don't have any hotels in mashby we don't no yeah so I mean There Are Places to stay we just don't have any hotels yeah so if you've got a a bedroom or a room to rent or some place for musicians to uh crash out in either for the summer or for performance definitely get a hold of Demetrius for that mat is like hille locking up seriously good night it's 900 PM where are your children get the cats in um Holly says three artists play a set of their own original music and then they all collaborate nice love it yeah all in two hours too yeah yeah right down down the street in our town right yeah and that's kind of like what happened with the center right it was like this melding of everybody's skills and space yeah and Specialties and and love like it's sounds cheesy but it is everyone's doing what they love no I'm singing Kumbaya and mashby right now because I'm really loving how we're all getting together and coordinating and collaborating it's nice right yeah I mean the people like I said that have come together have been huge and we want to be able to offer a variety so it's not it's not all one thing I said we've got them art we've got music we do have a sauna too so if you guys want to come in Cliff wants to come in later today I can even do a little rollout session I he needs he's a mess he's I don't know what I'm gonna do about my feet I'm like go to the pediatrist I don't know yeah he should come in so it's just a place you know take care of yourself and play we don't do that enough either and yeah yeah we'll talk about some of the art classes I love the fact that you said succulents I love the crochet because I've always wanted to learn so so the art class is every Monday so it's at 10 o'clock 10 o'clock every Monday and then we have an arthritis fit class afterwards oh so it's like a perfect way like if you're if you have Mondays off and you want to do something that's out of the box but get out of the house come down play some art go over to the White Lion Bakery grab a little pastry come back healthy one come back and do your arthritis fit class um and then we've got the music class who does not need to beat some drums around the holidays right so uh December 23rd which is Monday at 4:30 we've got a drums alive class kids are free so so come on down with your kid and just beat some drums get some get some movement and have some fun I love that yeah and then we've also got a Christmas concert that's this Saturday I'm gonna overwhelm you guys because there's so much we had someone it on the website website it's on our um Facebook page someone came in and hold up the held up the calendar and he was like this is mud and I was like no sir it's molasses it's molasses so we are offering a ton I do not see at your way sir yes yes so we are offering a ton a ton a ton oh we have got a book club too so for my hope is as a personal trainer I've always hated classes they give me freaking anxiety showing up on time doing someone else's thing like so we're hoping if someone dips their toes in for the book club then they'll recognize that the space is safe the center is welcoming the center is easygoing the center is love so they'll come back for something that they feel uncomfortable doing yeah right come for something that you want to do come play with some succulents make aay centerpiece and then take a peek at the schedule and maybe you'll want to check out yoga see I'm not afraid of working out I like to be tricked into classes I like to be tricked into working out I think it's fun um however getting me there is difficult because it's like leaving a work project undone I'm a Capricorn okay my birthday's coming up you know it's very hard for me to leave a task that I'm doing I'm not the ad8 well you just become the task become the you become the I need to give my I need to put myself on the to-do list for sure we're so close we're so close to I'm getting better I know no I mean I drive by a lot once I thought about it I was nearby oh my God I was I was looking at the sign I was I was in the parking lot listen I was working on it good morning Miss Vanna uh we're very excited to have you performing and uh we're very much looking forward to it Hi chrisy how are you Miss Thing yes good morning how's your Zumba class oh yes I I I love all of these classes but once again carving out that time for myself to be like this is what you're doing well that's like another great thing about the center too is if all of a sudden you have time because we have so much going on yeah you just say oh my gosh I have Friday night like open let me look at the center and see what they're doing yeah and then you could say oh that's something I want to do so it's not necessarily about like scheduling it it's about taking action to do it because sometimes I'll schedule something and not feel like doing it yeah and then I will give myself the grace of being like nah I'm not doing it right no I always just do it fine you are allowed to do that though I always just do it because I said I was gonna do it so I'll just do it no well you you told me you're coming to the center and you haven't come there yet I'm right on top of that she's talking smack I've just been burnt out like literally burned my candle has burned on all the ends all all around it got brighter and brighter and brighter like I just said yeah I mean you finished with a bang yeah I'm very glad that that is is over I I survived the parade that was very nerve-wracking something I have never done before and I was thrown into um not right at the beginning so I'm like what pieces am I picking up I don't know where this is who is this where does this go how is this do we have this do do I even know how to write what bank account is that am I on that bank account am I allowed yes am oh this has been my life for the last month and I have am I supposed to call that is that my job do I do that I don't know I don't even know how much money's in there okay here you go fingers are crossed it's bad it's fine I've rectified all of that that's well had end point which is good chug it chug chug chug it tell that you know correct but and you'll do it again next year I know you will I'm listening to you complain and I'm I know next year she'll be right at fingers I'm doing it again cuz you can't say no I'm one of those people that has to jump in when I see you know would see someone struggling with 15 bags and you're like can I I'm taking this from you because you're struggling but you're not well you've gotten better at delegating you've gotten better yeah have three assistants now y they're still not helping me but they're helping the tasks get done better because honestly I could not do this alone and I need to thank Susie and I need to thank Emily and I need to thank absolutely everyone you Julia like all of our friends for just being like what can I take off of your pile today taking that thanks by yeah and knowing that I have to trust that they're going to get it done it's hard but because you do it with love too but we're here for it I think everybody's like that so take one thing off your to-do list today whatever it is I saw a a fun little nugget that I thought we could talk about six ways to maximize your joy I love joy and make life easier around the holidays now this was something from um I don't even know what one of those magazines are you know the ones that come in the mail and you're like here you go put it on my coffee table until it's time to throw it away and I've never read any of it making simple meals this has been a huge problem in my house Sandy I know you do meal prep I know a lot of our friends do meal prep and I need to be better about just getting the here's the proteins here's the vegetables and we're going to do that today in my schedule no it's been really hard for me to get that done so make simple meals don't go crazy with it focus on fewer activities I'm not coming out of the gate strong here but you're you're finishing strong though how about you are you finishing strong are you coming out of the gate strong manage disruptions avoid events during times of the day when your loved ones it's are least alert I guess this is from a dementia care expert that says when is enough enough a positive approach to finding balance and caring life if mornings or evenings are not ideal consider alternative times to celebrate that might work yeah right my girlfriend decided that she was GNA have a rip roaring time at a Chinese bar yesterday and was done at 2 pm there you and that's where she was yeah right that's when she wanted to celebrate and that's how she did it yeah I like that one actually right so figure out the time and dreading it all day enjoy it in the morning create more joy y in the morning or Whenever However is so that's how you can manage your disruptions too if you're not a morning person instead of going to breakfast go grab lunch right arrange respit care ask for a specific day off so family members can plan ahead however you're going to manage these things this is how you can maximize your joy I am going to take Thursday off I need it for my mental health I don't care what is happening on that Thursday figure it out bye I mean even that's it kind of harder than showing up right so do it take the time off take the hour off even yeah if a whole day seems like a lot take an hour I know that's the thing uh be smart about travel plan ways way in advance if you're traveling allow plenty of extra time so you're not rushing around everywhere or don't stress if you're late that's you're really good about that and thank you cuz I always have this internal time clock and I don't know whether it's like that many years on the radio where I literally have a Time Clock going all the time my husband's like she's like an idiot savant watch her give her a minute tell her one minute or two minutes and I know yeah and I know when that time is up to move on with my day it's it's yeah don't send it was bartending that taught me that though you're moving around too crazy you start spilling stuff breaking stuff it's like just pace yourself yeah you know like how my husband broke three glasses this week and I was like I you need to take a minute you don't have to be on my schedule my schedule is nuts I get it for any human even for me don't come down with me babe you stand strong I 100% did I like this is not the place for you don't don't come here just go this way what's up Sid how are you good morning Sid I love you oh Holly Stephanie Via JT the Dream Team oh we made that parade shine we have we did it I bet you warmed that right up we we did we did we had a great we had a great time I'm so happy I know we left there and he's like all right I got to go I gotta you want to talk about someone who's just as scheduled as me he's crazy wild too and juggling 14 jobs and he's like I got to go I got to go do a party at tugboats bye I'm like go leave we'll clean up get out go um but yeah just taking that moment and to not have to worry about it plan your extra buffer zone of time or don't care like you said if you're late you're late yeah and just be consistently late everyone knows I'm late right and then another way uh this article says six ways to maximize your joy in life around the holiday season is to protect your health monitor your alcohol and sugar consumption get some exercise reconnect with nature set some limits on what you're going to be eating and drinking and trying to stay healthy yes I knew I had way too much sugar yesterday so it is my job to now move about the cabin today Yeah we actually have a winter um Equinox reset day this weekend too I told you there's a lot and we have one of Michelle coming in and she's doing a cooking demonstration yeah and how to get some healthier treats in on the holidays and um so we've got cooking too you know mud no molasses I love that it's just molass molasses molasses molasses uh Rick saeta felis n. to you and hello Jen Christian our eforall fam in the house yeah good morning everyone so we're talking about Bri we're talking about balance we're talking about the center we're talking about all the ways in which that you can I love this maximize your joy and make your life a little bit easier around the holidays yes and just reminding everyone that the center is open and chalk full of activities this weekend very much so yes like we like I said Friday night we've got a succulent workshop and crochet Saturday we've got um a winter equinox reset Retreat all day long all sorts of fun stuff going on there and then Sunday we've got a music concert so we have a singer in house she's going to be playing some new Christmas music and we've got a kids activity and um a little bit of shopping but it's not there'll be some stuff there but it's more about getting together and hanging out out listening to some good music we'll have some snacks and this is also the time of year you know people get in their feelings a little bit it is that reset that Equinox that full moon moment where people are kind of feeling a little weird and they don't know what to do with themselves or they might be alone yeah and it's a lot of holidays in community that they might not be a part of yeah so when we're talking about being busy and rushed and all of our family and things there are people that are lonely out there that are looking for connections what is it like when you walk into the center is do you have to be like here and I don't know why yeah no I mean you can be you don't have to be you can be like I'm here and this is exactly why so we do actually offer recovery support too it's one of our biggest pillars and when we say recovery it's recovering from life and when we when I first started this project I was saying we all need to recover no no no no we all deserve to recover and that's our biggest thing we don't we don't ask questions if you need help if you need someone to talk about what we have to offer if you need that connection and you need that guidance we're there for you I mean it's our project we know what we're doing but um no you don't have to come in and really say anything you don't even have to be on time it's literally we're really trying to make it the most welcoming space that could you could ever imagine just come in and figure it out let us catch you when you fall let us lift you um and we're lucky enough that we have such a great team we lift each other too so it's it's really um it's really a special space that's a bright V vibrant bright energetic it's not it's it's calming but exciting at the same time yeah we all need that connective spot yeah Alicia good morning I have a bunch of things that I need to talk to you about you're on the to-do list you are JT my son got his JT Taylor uh my son got his little little uh Mash B um letter on Letterman so he's now in the club JT says he's in the club now yes uh but uh letterman jackets are pretty expensive oh everything is expensive so can we talk about this mom moment for minute I was having this dialogue with him and he was like well I want this and that and I was like you know you do realize that jacket was $300 $300 for a jacket and you know yes you did earn the letter but he's like I earned that I should have that and I was like that is definitely part of your Christmas gift and he's like why is it have to be part of that gift I should just get that or just like rides to practice where for whatever reason there's a struggle with gym time right now so it's like practice could be right after school or could be back to school at 6 p.m. 7 p.m. it's my my schedule is already chaotic yeah and without him having to have a license or be able to get him there he feels as if that I should just do this because that's my job as a mom to just give him whatever it is that he wants they would suck the blood out of our veins Steph 100% so it's like I've been having this real struggle with having this conversation and it's a dialogue you know it's not like he's being rude or flipping about it it's just like his core belief he believes that I should just provide him all of these things for him whenever he so desires them and maybe it is because I've spoiled him and he is the baby and we do dot on him but he's also a great kid and will drop anything to help me do anything and society's coming at him too correct so it's like maybe I I I just don't know it's like how to address that any mom's or dads or caregivers have you ever been through this situation and what's what's a conversation am I being ration and saying that I feel like that that's a that's a a gift it's a nice thing it's you don't have to have that right you're getting that because I want you to have that but you shouldn't just get it it's also like learning like learning limitations too you know not just like everything as as fast as possible right now you know that instant gratification yeah right so he can still have his list but it doesn't mean it's all coming at Christmas yeah I get my kids things when they need them too not just same yeah like when my kid needs new sneakers like I'm getting him the sneakers I'm not going to be like oh because it's Christmas or oh it's because new school year like and do understand that I know that that's a luxury that we're able to do that when it is because not a lot of people can just do that when they need to do that so I do know that yeah but I feel like that's better though like I try to teach my kids that like you're not getting something because it's a holiday like the gift at the holiday is the time together the gift at the holidays is the tradition you know even like with me wrapping my presents it's like not about the present it's I just enjoy rapping like I enjoy the colors and the ribbon and me know yeah but so just I would just continue the dialogue with him you know just just keep it keep it going listen to him that's the thing right we don't feel heard sometimes so sometimes even just a gift is just listening I really enjoy you because you and I can always like Mom it out and have this conversation I think that you're the type of parent that will just sit there and have this conversation with the kids and make them part of it I know that you and I grew up in a time where it was like I'm the parent you're the kid good like what it is is what it is right and it is still that way I still do win I'm still mom I will always win at mom when you when you're paying the bills you can win at you but you know like right and not not even necessarily gifts I just like my kids can't swear until they pay bills like that's that's our Baseline of responsibility like how many 23 year olds are living at home without paying a bill you want some Freedom I'll give you your your electric bill at 16 there you go that's what I did when my brother one quarter of electricity and then you can have some freed we did Russian Roulette bills and he pulled a $ thousand electric bill he was moving out very shortly thereafter but that was a win it was a learning summer for my brother that's for sure he now works in in New York City in Manhattan is doing just fine paying his very large bills all by himself he's fine but he learned that and he learned that by living here because we all have responsibilities yeah right exactly and that's it it's not that's what that's you know what or you earn that March of freedom is yes go get those BS oh my God but I am really struggling this time of year right now with like the 4M pickme up 415 430 or a $30 Uber ride because I can't get there in time it's like it's really ridiculous I mean that's when you got to text me yeah I live right down the street too worst case I say no I know if I can't do it I can't do it but if I'm sitting at home my kids love your kids my kids will come everybody's crazy right now and it's like I don't even have time to make my brain work to think who to call call then and it's like between my husband and I and Uber we're getting it done but it's so annoying yeah it is cuz it it's all that money suck money suck money suck well it's also like a span of I've got to be on call it's like when they tell you to come they're going to fix your fridge uh between 2 and 7 p.m. so it could be anywhere in there that I get a phone call for a ride and then might need a ride back and then another ride forward and it's just like oh my what
