The End of An Era?!?! · Blush

0:00
Hello and welcome to Blush, the world's first Wellness show
0:02
that's actually entertaining. I'm Heva and I quit law so I can
0:06
help you look and feel your best.
0:08
Together we got into food, nutrition, all the latest
0:11
Wellness trends. But we also laugh, get silly,
0:13
drop a few F OPS and go on a million tangents.
0:17
So if that sounds like your vibe, we're about to be best
0:19
friends. Hello, happy Tuesday, happy
0:25
almost new year, happy end of 2025.
0:29
OK, I'm going to stop saying happy.
0:31
So it is the last Tuesday of the month and usually we do AQ and a
0:36
episode, but we're not going to do that today.
0:41
We're really only going to answer one question today.
0:44
And that question is, what the fuck is the future of Bosch?
0:50
And you might be questioning that based on the title.
0:53
So I'm going to tell you. So basically, I've given a lot
0:59
of thought about what I want to do.
1:00
I've done this podcast for over 5 years now, which is pretty
1:06
fucking crazy, and through getting 66000 times through Sam
1:14
issues, through everything that's happened, travel all over
1:18
the world, etcetera, we've done 250 episodes which is pretty
1:23
fucking nuts. I mean, whatever.
1:26
And I've been thinking a lot about what is going to be best
1:33
for the show, What's going to be best for you?
1:36
What's going to be best for me? How can I not get too burnt out?
1:41
How can I do the things that I love doing?
1:44
OK, I'm going to stop beating around the Bush.
1:47
Here's the deal. And I, I, I have given it a lot
1:50
of thought and I've talked to a bunch of people and I think I've
1:54
come up with a solution that's going to work for everyone.
1:59
Starting we get off the calendar starting a week from today,
2:08
which is I believe January 6th, 2026, also kind of unsavory and
2:16
it's starting on January 6th of all days.
2:19
But starting January 6th, 2020 sixth, there is going to be a
2:23
big change in the show and that is the blush is going twice a
2:28
week and once a week we're doing Blush Kitchen and once a week
2:34
we're doing kind of like what we're doing right now, a little
2:37
chit chat. Now Blush kitchen you're ready
2:41
familiar with. Now I will say Blush Kitchen has
2:44
it's a newer thing, right? I've only done a few episodes.
2:47
It was an idea. I mean, it was, it was, it was
2:49
something I'd been wanting to do for years and years and years,
2:52
but it was something that I didn't implement until May of
2:57
this year. So and then I believe I got sick
3:00
in June. I got sick so many times this
3:03
year. And so I missed that episode.
3:05
So really we've done 6 episodes of Lush Kitchen, something like
3:09
that. And it's, it's taken me a while
3:13
to iron out the wrinkles and figure out exactly how it's
3:17
going to work. But I think now we're in a
3:19
really good groove with that, and I'm so fucking excited for
3:24
the episodes that are coming out that are coming up.
3:27
Like they are so fucking good. The recipes are fire, the
3:30
production is fire. I have hired an amazing
3:35
producer. She is just killing it.
3:38
The content is so fucking good. It's the idea, the premise, the
3:43
vibe is kind of like you're hanging out in the kitchen.
3:46
You know how I feel like for women, there are two really
3:50
formative bonding experiences. One that men could never, men
3:54
would never understand. One is getting ready, like
3:58
during your college and early 20s years, getting ready to go
4:03
out, not even the pregame. It's like getting ready to go to
4:07
the pregame to then go out. Like that type of vibe when you,
4:10
you and your closest friends do your makeup together and you
4:14
listen to music and you have pre pregame drinks and you're, you
4:18
know, dancing on furniture. Like you have more fun getting
4:22
ready with your friends than you do going out usually.
4:25
And the other I think is when you're hanging out with your
4:28
friends in the kitchen and preparing a meal.
4:32
I think for a lot of people that they have that experience over
4:34
Thanksgiving where you're cooking with your family and
4:37
having fun. For the rest of us, our family
4:39
dynamics are too chaotic and not too fun in those scenarios.
4:43
But you know, a lot of people have that experience or, you
4:47
know, I don't know, when you host a dinner party and your
4:50
closest friend comes early to help you and you're just doing
4:54
stuff together, just that fun vibe, cooking, hanging out in
4:59
the kitchen, that type of vibe. And yes, you're cooking, but
5:03
you're also talking about other things at the same time.
5:06
You're just hanging out, you know, so that's going to be the
5:09
vibe of Lush Kitchen. It's going to be like we're
5:12
hanging out together, which is literally my favorite thing in
5:15
the world is I was actually just thinking about this.
5:19
We were in Connecticut over the weekend visiting some friends
5:22
and we went out for lunch and then we came back and really
5:26
there was just one person cooking.
5:28
There was literally one person cooking, but all of us were in
5:31
the kitchen just like hanging out, chatting, laughing, having
5:34
side conversations, watching her cook.
5:36
I offered to help a few times, but it was a pretty empty
5:39
promise because I was our offer because I was literally sitting
5:43
in Sam's dog bed with her, like making out with her and with
5:47
their puppy. So it was kind of an empty
5:50
offer, but we were all just hanging out in the kitchen
5:52
together and laughing and having fun.
5:54
And then at the end of it, we got to have this sick gas meal.
5:57
So Blush Kitchen's going to be the same kind of vibe.
5:59
It's going to be like we're hanging out in the kitchen
6:01
together. You'll learn a recipe.
6:03
You'll get to watch me do things that'll be silly and tangenty.
6:08
And you know, you'll get something tangible from it,
6:10
which is always a recipe at least, and usually some kind of
6:14
nutrition information, etcetera. But it'll be vibes and it'll be
6:17
fun. It'll be like we're hanging out
6:19
together And then so that's well, OK, I'll get it to the
6:25
schedule next. And then once a week you'll get
6:28
a little bite sized episode from me.
6:30
Now this has been in transition for a few weeks now.
6:35
It kind of happened by accident at first.
6:38
So one week I just put out a shorter episode.
6:42
It just was I I, you know, I said what I wanted to say and I
6:46
was like, why am I going to dilly dally?
6:47
I'll just put this out. And I got so many messages from
6:52
people saying that they loved the shorter episode size, that
6:56
it just it was digestible as bite size.
6:59
They could get through it. It wasn't, you know,
7:01
intimidating that they would love the shorter episodes.
7:04
I did a poll in my Instagram stories and I was shocked to see
7:08
how short people actually like their podcasts.
7:11
And the other thing is 1 big change I've made in my life this
7:16
year is to try to be more present and not constantly seek
7:21
out distractions. Like I'm someone who constantly
7:24
has to fill empty space. I'm listening to so many
7:27
podcasts. I always, I don't always have
7:29
the TV on but I always have podcasts on.
7:31
If not podcast then music. And if it's not podcast or music
7:34
then it's the TV. And I've been trying to embrace
7:37
more stillness and quiet time in my own life.
7:39
So I feel like it's really hypocritical of me to be doing
7:43
that in my own life but then be pumping out so much fucking
7:46
content that takes so long to get through.
7:48
Now, that being said, you are still getting twice as much
7:51
content basically as you were before, but the Solo Me Talking
7:57
episodes are going to be very much like a peek behind the
8:00
curtain. It's going to be me alone.
8:04
It's going to be a lot like what the recent episodes have been,
8:08
shorter, digestible. We're not going to do the
8:11
segmentea things at all. No more hot or not, no more Q&A.
8:15
Now, that being said, we might still discuss a Wellness trend.
8:18
We might. If you have questions, please do
8:21
send them in. I might cover one of your
8:23
questions, but it's not going to be this very formulaic
8:26
structure. We're not doing foods that make
8:28
you blush anymore, which honestly, I haven't even been
8:31
doing for a while now. We're not going to do great
8:32
faithfuls anymore, which I feel like at the end of the day,
8:35
we're serving no one. And really came from a place of
8:39
my own insecurity where I really felt like I had to do an hour
8:43
minimum of content. And so having these segments was
8:47
a way for me to almost pad the episode.
8:50
But I'm realizing we don't need to do all that.
8:53
And there are so many things that I wasn't talking about or
8:58
doing episodes on because they just couldn't carry a full hour
9:02
long episode. But now with this flexibility,
9:06
there are things that I can cover and chat about.
9:08
And I just I think the show is going to be so much better.
9:11
I think you're going to get a lot more from the show and the
9:14
solo just me talking episodes are going to be, they might be
9:23
about anything. They could be about
9:24
relationships. It could be about Wellness.
9:26
It could kind of be any of the things that interest us because
9:31
I feel like we have that relationship now.
9:33
It's been 5 fucking years. Even if you're newer here, we
9:37
have formed that bond, you know? So that'll be that.
9:42
And then so let me get to the schedule.
9:46
So starting a week from today, you're going to get your first
9:50
podcast episode and these are going to be solo episodes like
9:53
lower production, not like the quality is going to be good.
9:57
The audio and video is always going to be good unless
9:59
something goes really wrong. But I'm probably not going to be
10:02
wearing makeup. You know, I'm probably not going
10:04
to be done up. It's probably it's going to feel
10:05
like we're just hanging out and chatting.
10:08
And then Blush Kitchen is going to be more of almost like ATV
10:12
show. So that's going to come out
10:13
every Thursday. And I mean, I think, I think I
10:18
think this is we've been having a lot of conversations about the
10:21
Tuesday versus Thursday thing. So we're still going to have our
10:25
blush Tuesdays, a quick little chat with us kind of at the top
10:28
of the week and then later in the week on Thursday evening.
10:32
And this one isn't going to drop at midnight.
10:34
It's going to drop kind of at prime time.
10:36
You get to get your blush kitchen, which you can then
10:39
watch like a proper show. And thanks to the our amazing
10:43
producer, it's going to be impeccable production quality,
10:47
just like beautiful, girly, fun, comfort show kind of vibes.
10:53
So yeah, that's the that's the future of Lush.
10:55
That's what we have to look forward to this year.
10:58
Am I scared? Yeah, I'm fucking terrified.
11:00
It's going to be so much more fucking work.
11:03
But I have never been more excited about something in my
11:08
life. Like I really feel like this is
11:10
my life's calling. I knew the very first time I did
11:13
a Blush Kitchen episode, I was like, this is it.
11:15
This is what I've always wanted to do.
11:18
I think the, you know, being really transparent, it's, it's
11:23
taken a few episodes to really get the feel for things and
11:27
there was so much praying and meditating.
11:30
Actually, do you remember last episode I was saying I would
11:33
write in my journal and ask for guidance and stuff.
11:36
A lot of that unfolded through the the signs.
11:40
The butterfly thing was about Blush Kitchen and this direction
11:43
to take it in the I didn't want to say it back last episode
11:48
because I didn't want to reveal that I wanted to save it for
11:50
this episode episode. But that's actually what the
11:52
butterfly thing was about. And I asked for so many signs
11:55
around that. And every time I just got the
11:57
best, the most over the top yeses and just really getting
12:02
the vision and the clarity down of exactly how it's going to
12:05
work. And I think we have it down pat
12:07
now and I'm truly so fucking excited for what this year has
12:14
to offer. It's going to be a wild ride.
12:16
I think that I don't know, I just want to take this moment.
12:20
It's like, you know what I feel like I feel like a mom who has a
12:25
toddler and is 9 months pregnant with the next child and you just
12:30
want to soak up every moment that you have with the toddler
12:34
before the next child arrives. That's kind of how I feel about
12:37
you right now. It's like you're my OG baby and
12:40
I want to hold on because I think that this year is going to
12:43
be a really fun ride for us. And yeah, I'm really excited for
12:48
what it has to bring. So I hope you're as excited as
12:52
we are. Sam's very excited.
12:54
She. She's been wanting to host a
12:58
cooking show for as long as I've known her.
13:00
OK, this is getting stupid now. Seriously.
13:03
Happy new year. January 1st.
13:05
There's nothing. I know it's a Thursday, but
13:07
there's nothing. We're honoring the holiday and
13:10
taking a fucking rest. And then I'll see you on January
13:13
6th. Bye.
