  joining our ten dollars or our twenty dollars tier. Just so you're aware,
• 0:33
  the audio for this episode does have some glitching on my part. I believe
• 0:39
  that during soundcheck and all the tech prep I did for the Misogynist of the
• 0:43
  Year ceremony meant that when we were recording this episode, things got jostled or
• 0:48
  loosed, and I apologize, but as always, appreciate your patience with the
• 0:53
  process. Speaking of the Misogynist of the Year Award, you can get access
• 0:58
  to that recording and video recording by joining any of our three paid tears on

• 2:37
  We made it through twenty twenty three against all odds. Who I will
• 2:44
  say? I will say that, not that I have actually flipped over my
• 2:50
  vision board from last year to look at it and be like, did I
• 2:53
  accomplish things? I feel like you and I did enough check ins throughout the
• 2:57
  year where I was like, I did accomplish Yeah. Yeah. It helps
• 3:01
  to have somebody to keep you like to be like, hey, these are
• 3:05
  the things blah blah blah. Yeah, I traveled, how this go?
• 3:10
  Yeah? I traveled, I wrote scripts. I found some kick ass communities.
• 3:19
  I think what I really loved drop the ball on was my home.
• 3:23
  I did not make my home or organized or pretty. Oh. I was
• 3:29
  like, what did you want to do with your home? And now I
• 3:31
  okay, organized and pretty? I understand, not because I've been in your
• 3:36
  home, but because, like I have several rooms that still boxes from when
• 3:39
  I moved in twenty twenty two. Yeah, and now that we're back here
• 3:44
  for our twenty twenty four Intentions and Goals and Manifestations episode, I need you
• 3:52
  to know that my home didn't even make it on the vision board. I'm
• 3:55
  like, I don't even care what am I supposed to do. It's just
• 4:00
  a place. You're like, you know what, next year, it's just
• 4:02
  a place to lay my head. This isn't gonna be my sanctuary. Right.
• 4:06
  I'm bad at this. I'm bad at home organization, I'm bad at
• 4:13
  home staging. And our one friend who's good at that lives plane rides away
• 4:18
  and yeah, now my mother has so much going on that I don't know
• 4:24
  she's going to be able to make the trip to help me, So it's
• 4:27
  just not going to happen, and that's fine. And if it does happen,
• 4:32
  it'll be a treat. It'll be a little treat, A little treat.
• 4:38
  I mean, I taught my I like relearned how to watercolor from YouTube.
• 4:43
  Though. Hell yeah. I just feel like, maybe if you ever
• 4:48
  found yourself board one day, you qu you two and I could listen to
• 4:55
  Carly's podcast more about tidying, I could and get an actually intake the tips
• 5:00
  instead of just being like I love Carly. I love the sound Carl's voice.
• 5:05
  Carli is so soothing. She really is, she really is. Yeah,
• 5:11
  but I'm supposed to be learning something and I just refuse to by osmosis.
• 5:15
  It'll it'll settle in at some point. I feel like I tell Carly
• 5:18
  every time I throw something away, like it was hard, Like, hey,
• 5:20
  I got rid of my boxes today. Okay, friend, we're millennials.
• 5:26
  We're supposed to keep boxes. I love boxes. And then Kelly told
• 5:32
  us that, like we'll use trash for art, and I was like,
• 5:35
  I knew I've been keeping these boxes for some reason. I knew it.
• 5:41
  We're millennials. We'll use trash for urt. We're millennials. We can only
• 5:45
  afford trash for art. All right, Do we want to start with vision
• 5:51
  boards? I haven't finished mine yet, Okay, all right, because here's
• 5:59
  why I've been writing down all the things I want on the piece of paper
• 6:04
  and finding an image that sort of corresponds with that want. I love that.
• 6:11
  I love that, as you know, that was my journey last year
• 6:15
  and lived here. When I sat down to do my vision board, I
• 6:19
  realized that during a manic cleaning session, and this is why I don't clean,
• 6:25
  I threw out all of my magazines. And I'm a collage artist.
• 6:28
  Who the hell let me throw those out? Girl? I wasn't there.
• 6:31
  You didn't consult me? Who was like Nafley? No, wait, Natally
• 6:36
  wi a maybe? And I understand that I have like a year's worth of
• 6:43
  People magazine, So I was like, I'm going to hang on to this.
• 6:46
  But I did find a nice tidy space for them to live. All
• 6:49
  I have are bird magazines, and like, I love birds. And I'm
• 6:55
  so glad that someone thought of me when it came to giving me. That's
• 7:00
  a sair. Yeah, they're magazines that were laying around their house. But
• 7:05
  also like, birds are going to ever represent my goals. I'm not Nellie
• 7:11
  Fercado. Birds freaked me out. Oh I'm like a boy. I'll start
• 7:19
  with my vision board. You can you can talk about what you're what you're
• 7:23
  thinking. My vision board. It's right here. It's really beautiful, and
• 7:28
  I'll post pictures of it on pijon. Did I put my own podcast logo
• 7:33
  on it? Yeah? They're not. Yeah, the city right there,
• 7:39
  And I was like, there you go. So I really hit one thing
• 7:46
  very hard. I realized that this is actually hard for you to see.
• 7:47
  You actually have a photo of it on your phone, But that's that's true.
• 7:54
  I should pull that up. Yeah, okay, there's one thing that
• 7:57
  really hit hard and focused on. And luckily my tarot readings, which we
• 8:01
  can get into, also align with this. I only filled my vision board
• 8:07
  up with my god if I'm not going to commit to being a comedy writer
• 8:13
  this year, like I put on women who are funny, women who are
• 8:20
  very very successful, women who are successful despite all of the bullshit. So
• 8:26
  I feel like that like plays into our new series Misogyny Meltdown, where I'm
• 8:30
  going to be going deep on some things, but also being comedic about some
• 8:35
  of the misogyny that we have going on. Why is Rigie on your vision
• 8:43
  board? That's from the D and D movie. So he's part of the
• 8:46
  Critical Role Dimension twenty section. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, if
• 8:52
  you notice Chris Pine. So I thought that it was actually a larger photo
• 8:56
  of Chris Pine, my gay auntie Chris Pine. But it's not. It's
• 9:03
  actually a picture of him, even though the article was about Chris Pine.
• 9:07
  So that was confusing, and that's why I overlooked at first, and then
• 9:11
  I was like, where's my picture of the D and D movie with Chris
• 9:13
  Pie. So yes, because the comedy writing and the making sketches and the
• 9:20
  actual like leaning into I have skills. They need to be practiced, they
• 9:24
  need to be honed, will eventually lead me to the promised land, which
• 9:28
  is working for Dropout TV, working for Critical Role, making friends with all
• 9:33
  of the people I admire in a friendship versuless to Di gen Con so like
• 9:39
  all of the so like Taylor Swift and Beyonce and Pink and Jamie Lee Curtis,
• 9:45
  because she represents all of the things I loved most about my grandma.
• 9:50
  They're like the base. They're the women who like truly hold me up and
• 9:54
  are like, no, you can do this, you can live successfully.
• 9:58
  And people and bots that our maskin as trolls will tell you that you're a
• 10:03
  dirty bitch or whatever, and you just keep doing it and then one day
• 10:07
  you'll be rich because you're so funny. Yeah I love that, yeah yeah.
• 10:13
  And then so they're building me up, and then we have some women
• 10:20
  in comedy, women on mics. Then we have like our D and D
• 10:24
  section, and then we have an artistic section. Because I only made friendship
• 10:30
  bracelets in twenty twenty three, I don't know if we noticed, oh do
• 10:39
  anything else. I truly would prep canvases because Annie told me she goes,
• 10:45
  the easiest way to get back into painting is to prep the canvases, so
• 10:48
  then when you're ready to do it, you can do it and it's not
• 10:52
  the mundane part first, and she goes, and it's an easy way to
• 10:56
  get back into the habit of like cleaning brushes, getting stuff and realizing that
• 11:01
  that's not actually like a mountain to climb, right, I would prep canvases
• 11:07
  and then be like guess, I'm done, and then just go right back
• 11:09
  to streaming bracelets. That was the task for the day. That was the
• 11:13
  task for the day. So I would like to get back into painting I
• 11:18
  have right now. I'm starting small. And I recently realized that one of
• 11:26
  my sketchbook journals was actually an unfinished one, but because I had filled up
• 11:31
  another one, I had to like start writing in this one before the collage
• 11:35
  pages were done. And what I do is I like arrange stickers and magazine
• 11:41
  not magazine clippings anymore, because I threw those all away, right, but
• 11:46
  I arranged them so I don't ever have to face a blank page. And
• 11:50
  during my twenty twenty three inventory, I was like, did I just face
• 11:54
  a blank page? Absolutely not. So I've been like taking my journal out
• 12:00
  while I watched to Mention twenty every night and like arranging pretty stickers and paper
• 12:05
  and stuff to then make it prepped so I can do So I've done my
• 12:11
  twenty twenty three like inventory of good things, and now I have to do
• 12:16
  like what's next, like what's coming up next? And then I'll have to
• 12:18
  do like a release of some kind, like what are we saying goodbye to
• 12:22
  from twenty twenty three, because it was a little bit of a motherfucker
