1:45
baylee: Mm-hmm.
1:46
baylee: Yes.
1:47
baylee: So today we are talking about vacation prep, I guess we'll call it, and kind of hangovers.
1:55
baylee: I don't know.
1:56
brianna: Yeah, I think this is a good one cuz I feel like vacation is a hard one for people to kind of navigate cuz it's like, they just go on vacation and it's almost like your whole life pauses.
2:06
brianna: You do whatever and then you kind of feel like you need a vacation from your vacation.
2:10
brianna: So today we're like talked about what kind of things you could do to prep for your vacation, how you can still enjoy yourself on vacation, but then also not feel like you need to come back and recover from your vacation.
2:22
baylee: Yes.
2:23
baylee: I call it the vacation hangover.
2:24
baylee: Like you are out of town for five days and then you come back.
2:27
baylee: You're like, all right, well, I need a staycation now.
2:31
brianna: Yeah, like I need to lay in my bed and do nothing because vacation took it outta me.
2:35
brianna: And you know, like vacation is supposed to like rejuvenate you.
2:37
brianna: You know, you should come back from vacation.
2:39
brianna: Feeling awesome.
2:40
baylee: Yeah, sometimes I just never wanna come back from vacation because it feels so good.
2:46
baylee: So yeah.
2:46
baylee: Today we're basically gonna be talking about what you can do to help you have less of a vacation hangover.
2:52
baylee: I mean, you're, I feel like it's still normal to come back and be like, I.
2:56
baylee: I'm exhausted, like cuz sometimes we just pack a lot into the vacations because we wanna do it all while we're there.
3:01
baylee: So we're just gonna give you some tips on what we can do during this time where you're away from home.
3:08
baylee: Number one, I would say try and keep your routine kind of as similar as possible.
3:14
baylee: Like thinking about breakfast, lunch, and dinner, kind of that bedtime.
3:17
baylee: Your water intake movement.
3:20
baylee: Try to keep it as.
3:21
baylee: Normal to everyday life as best you can.
3:24
baylee: I understand it's not gonna look the exact same.
3:26
baylee: I mean, you're at a routine.
3:27
baylee: You're usually not working on vacation, so just adjusting in that way, but also see where you can keep it consistent.
3:35
brianna: Yeah, and I think something that really helps with this is establishing like your non-negotiables and like your mini morning routine.
3:43
brianna: So, This doesn't have to be extravagant.
3:45
brianna: This is something you can do no matter what day of the week it is, no matter where you are on vacation, on a work trip at home during the summer school year, like whatever.
3:55
brianna: Establish a small like mini morning routine and then yeah, you're non-negotiables.
4:00
brianna: So like for me, one of my non-negotiables, I'm pretty sure I've talked about it before, but it's getting like a high protein breakfast, like that really just sets me up for the day and no matter where I am, what I'm doing, that is like a non-negotiable.
4:11
brianna: Something that I do.
4:12
brianna: So establishing those can make it feel like you're still in control on this vacation, cuz you're still doing these things that you do every day, but it's not like you have to be obsessive about it and be like, I'm just not gonna enjoy myself, if that makes sense.
4:27
baylee: Yeah, definitely set those non-negotiables.
4:29
baylee: I also do high protein breakfast, that's one of mine.
4:32
baylee: And then my other non-negotiable, one of'em is to bring a water bottle, like.
4:38
baylee: Once you have that, it's just gonna make life so much easier.
4:41
baylee: You have it always there.
4:43
baylee: It's accessible.
4:43
baylee: You have your favorite water bottle, it's a vibe, like bring your water bottle.
4:49
brianna: You can also bring your hydration stuff too, like if that's something you need, like bring it with you,
4:53
baylee: Mm-hmm.
4:54
baylee: Throw it in your suitcase, it travels just fine.
4:57
baylee: those are two things and kind of going along with that, I would say setting your boundaries because.
5:05
baylee: While it's vacation, while it looks different, it doesn't have to be.
5:08
baylee: Throw everything out the window, so then you feel terrible for like a week.
5:12
baylee: So set your boundaries and be upfront about it.
5:14
baylee: I don't think it has to become like you're a weirdo, you're dieting.
5:18
baylee: Like I don't think you have to be dieting to necessarily lose weight or you have to skip out on the ice cream that you go out for on vacation.
5:25
baylee: No, but I think it does help set boundaries with maybe how much you're gonna drink with setting a boundaries with how much you're gonna sleep.
5:32
baylee: Different things like that and also just not feeling like you have to do every single thing.
5:37
brianna: Right.
5:38
brianna: I think that's a good point.
5:39
brianna: Like not choosing it because, oh, I can't do this, or this isn't part of my plan, but choosing it to where, I mean, you're making decisions based on how you wanna feel.
5:47
brianna: You wanna feel good, I mean, it's fun every once in a while, but I mean, waking up every morning at eight o'clock and drinking at 8:00 AM for a week straight is gonna make you feel like crap.
5:56
brianna: Like, you know, especially if you're getting older.
6:00
brianna: You can't hang, like it's just not some, you know, so you wanna enjoy your vacation setting those boundaries is totally fine.
6:07
brianna: And honestly, this is something I tell people.
6:09
brianna: If your boundary is something that somebody comments on a lot, it most likely has a lot to do with them and not you.
6:16
brianna: So you don't need to worry about it.
6:17
brianna: Okay.
6:17
brianna: You're worrying about yourself.
6:19
brianna: Let's see, what else?
6:21
brianna: We have walking on here.
6:22
brianna: So I think that's a good one.
6:23
brianna: I feel like vacation is a good time to get in a lot of movement.
6:26
brianna: Like you don't necessarily need to track it and be obsessive about it.
6:29
brianna: I don't think you should ever do that, but in general, I feel like we move a lot more on vacation.
6:34
brianna: So try to do activities where you're gonna be moving more, you're just gonna feel better.
6:39
brianna: I don't know, have that.
6:41
brianna: Maybe that's one of your like mini morning routines.
6:43
brianna: Like, I'm gonna get up and I'm just gonna like walk for 10 minutes wherever I'm at.
6:46
brianna: Just take a quick walk, whatever.
6:48
baylee: Especially if you're vacationing at a beach.
6:51
baylee: Like that's what I always feel like I automatically think of when I think of vacation, but, Especially if you're at a beach, just go out in the morning, walk for 10 minutes, invite someone to go walk with you or just go walk and listen to the waves.
7:05
baylee: I mean, do whatever you can.
7:07
baylee: Going to find some scenery, try find a trail.
7:10
baylee: Go find a cute little town to walk through.
7:12
baylee: I think those are all great ways to get a movement without a feeling like a chore that you're missing out on vacation.
7:18
baylee: Like just include it as part of the vacation.
7:20
brianna: And the next one would be just prioritize your protein always and your vegetables, especially if you're like eating out a lot.
7:27
brianna: You can get protein and veggies anywhere.
7:30
brianna: So I'm not saying like avoid all the other things, but if that's something that you can like prioritize every meal or at least two of your three meals, you're gonna feel a lot better and not be on that sugar rollercoaster.
7:41
brianna: Yeah.
7:42
baylee: so the last thing, a lot of times with vacation comes drinking and we're both really realistic dieticians.
7:49
baylee: We drink, we understand like it's a part of a lot of our adult lives.
7:53
baylee: If you don't drink, cool.
7:54
baylee: If you do a drink, cool.
7:55
baylee: Whatever it is.
7:57
baylee: But my main tip here, I guess overall, just drink smarter.
8:01
baylee: Choose what you're going to drink.
8:03
baylee: But I wouldn't do a bunch of sugary cocktails.
8:07
baylee: That's gonna give you an even bigger headache.
8:10
brianna: Yeah.
8:10
baylee: So always drinking smarter.
8:12
brianna: So these are things like avoiding a lot of the sugary mixed drinks, like the ties, the margaritas, the, you know, whatever those, probably not just cuz they have a lot of mixers in'em.
8:23
brianna: They have a, have a lot of added sugar, not a lot of alcohol either.
8:27
brianna: So, you know.
8:29
brianna: If you're trying to drink, it just is like not the best for your blood sugar or your wallet.
8:32
brianna: So avoid the mixers, avoid a lot of sugar.
8:36
brianna: Try to choose, I mean, we could do a whole episode on like the alcohol that you should choose, but lime, lemon, real fruit, maybe a splash of juice and just kind of liquor really, or.
8:49
brianna: You know, there's certain, like dry wines you can have stuff like that, but those are gonna be the ones that have the least amount of sugar and is gonna help you feel your best because when you drink your blood sugar kind of goes all over the place.
9:00
brianna: Like you usually dip pretty low and then you have really crazy cravings after.
9:04
brianna: And then it's, it's really hard to control when you're drinking.
9:07
brianna: So if you can limit the impact that the alcohol has on your blood sugar, the better.
9:13
baylee: Yes.
9:14
baylee: So going along with that, we also said we're gonna talk about hangovers.
9:18
baylee: So basically what causes a hangover is alcohol is metabolized into acetyl ay, which is a sub.
9:26
baylee: That is toxic at high levels.
9:28
baylee: But I mean, typically when we're drinking, we're rarely going to get to that high of a level of acetyl outta the Hyde.
9:36
baylee: Like it's not gonna get that high to where we're literally becoming toxic.
9:39
baylee: Unless you're really just hammering through drinks.
9:44
brianna: Jersey Shore style.
9:45
baylee: Like Jersey Turnpike, is that what it's called
9:49
brianna: Yeah, that you'll be there.
9:51
baylee: Yeah, you'll be at that level.
9:52
baylee: But there's so many components that really go into like a hangover.
9:57
baylee: So drinking is going to interfere with your brain activity, which affects how you're sleeping, cuz it's gonna affect the activity while you're sleeping, which is the time where your body's trying to rejuvenate, restore, regulate everything again.
10:11
baylee: So a hangover could be even from sleep deprivation.
10:14
baylee: I personally don't sleep well if I'm drinking, like I wake up really early cuz I can't sleep.
10:20
baylee: And it's also gonna affect our hormones that are going to regulate our biological clocks, our circadian rhythm, which is also why a hangover can make you just like, feel exhausted.
10:31
baylee: And then it can trigger migraines.
10:32
baylee: So having kind of an alcohol-induced migraine, that can be another part of this hangover.
10:38
baylee: And then really your hangover, it starts when your blood alcohol starts to fall.
10:44
baylee: Like when you get to zero, that's when you're like, wow, that hangover like truly kicks in
10:50
brianna: Yeah.
10:50
brianna: And so the key thing here is it seems to be like drinking too.
10:55
brianna: I intoxication.
10:56
brianna: Okay.
10:57
brianna: Like we're talking like not like one or two drinks.
10:59
brianna: We're talking like multiple shocks.
11:02
brianna: Okay.
11:02
brianna: Like we've all,
11:03
baylee: for everyone.
11:03
brianna: Yeah.
11:04
brianna: And that is very true.
11:05
brianna: It's dependent on so many things, but for most people, you know your level of like, okay, I'm drinking, and then like, oh, I've been drinking.
11:14
brianna: You know?
11:14
brianna: So that level.
11:17
brianna: But anyways, how much you drink to get there is less important, really.
11:20
brianna: So, in fact, several studies suggest that light and moderate drinking are more vulnerable to getting a hangover than heavy drinkers.
11:28
brianna: So research.
11:29
brianna: Researchers say some people may end up with drinking problems because they drink in an effort to relieve hangover symptoms.
11:38
brianna: So the hair of the dog type thing, don't do it.
11:42
brianna: I mean, you'll probably feel a little bit better, but in the long run you won't.
11:46
brianna: So there's a couple of things that you can do really to avoid.
11:51
brianna: I'm like laughing cuz I, I don't know if you guys have ever watched Florabama Shore.
11:56
baylee: Yes,
11:56
brianna: It's such a terrible show, but that I've literally been binging it and that's why I'm laughing cause it's like hair of the dog that's like their thing.
12:03
brianna: And I'm like dying laughing.
12:05
baylee: yes.
12:06
brianna: So there's
12:06
baylee: I never heard of that thing till like four years ago.
12:09
baylee: I was like, what does that even mean?
12:10
baylee: Like, yeah, when you're hungover, you just keep drinking so you don't feel hungover.
12:14
baylee: I'm like, well then when does it ever end?
12:17
baylee: Like,
12:17
brianna: Right.
12:18
brianna: Oh my gosh.
12:18
brianna: So this is terrible, but when I was a lot younger, my friends and I used to call it shampooing.
12:24
brianna: So it's like you rinse and repeat.
12:26
baylee: oh, yeah.
12:27
brianna: Don't do that.
12:28
brianna: I
12:28
baylee: Yeah, I mean you're, you probably will make you feel better for that day, but then, I mean, eventually you're gonna have to feel that hangover.
12:34
baylee: Otherwise you're gonna have
12:36
brianna: yeah.
12:36
brianna: You can't keep drinking.
12:38
baylee: Like,
12:39
brianna: Like it's gotta stop,
12:40
baylee: to be quite honest, we can't just keep drinking.
12:42
baylee: So
12:43
brianna: right?
12:44
brianna: So there's so
12:45
baylee: there at Hangover if you're gonna take too many shots.
12:49
brianna: just don't do it, just that's a boundary.
12:51
brianna: Like if, you know that's, you set that with yourself.
12:53
brianna: If you're someone who's like, Ooh, I know that if I get past this point, I'm gonna be like, let's get shots.
12:58
brianna: Like set that boundary for yourself, you know, for at least six out of the seven days of your vacation.
13:04
brianna: Okay.
13:05
brianna: But really the best thing that you could do is other things.
13:09
brianna: Okay?
13:10
brianna: So rather than waking up and having a hair of the dog, there are some other actual things that helps.
13:14
brianna: So, number one, drink fluids.
13:17
brianna: So alcohol promotes urination.
13:19
brianna: It causes you to pee.
13:20
brianna: I'm sure we all know that because it inhibits the release of vasopressin, which is vasopressin.
13:25
brianna: I cannot talk today, you guys.
13:27
brianna: Which is a hormone that decreases the volume of urine made by the kidneys.
13:31
brianna: So drink your water, and most importantly, drink it with minerals.
13:35
brianna: So actually hydrate yourself, hydrate your cells.
13:39
brianna: This is super important, so especially if you're going on vacation, we're gonna be out in the sun, like you're at the beach, you're at the lake, whatever.
13:46
brianna: You are gonna become much more dehydrated, much more quickly, and then when you add alcohol to it, it's just gonna be a disaster.
13:53
brianna: So really focus on your hydration.
13:57
baylee: Next thing would be that blood sugar control that we were talking about.
14:00
baylee: So not doing super sugary drinks but also be aware like what you're eating during the day.
14:06
baylee: Because.
14:07
baylee: Alcohol.
14:07
baylee: It just does weird things to your blood sugar, to be quite honest.
14:11
baylee: And depending on what you're mixing it with too.
14:13
baylee: So maybe while drinking focus more on like the protein high fiber foods, getting some fat in, but then the next day also making sure you're still in including carbohydrates, just to help level out that blood sugar.
14:25
baylee: A lot of times when we're hungover, we typically crave more carbs because usually our blood sugar will drop kind of low.
14:32
brianna: Yeah.
14:33
brianna: And you need it.
14:34
baylee: Yeah.
14:35
baylee: So,
14:35
brianna: you need it.
14:36
brianna: So it's like you're all over the place.
14:38
baylee: Yeah.
14:39
baylee: And choosing carbohydrates that are gonna make you feel really good.
14:42
baylee: Instead of grabbing donuts, they're probably not gonna make you feel very good.
14:46
baylee: Still enjoy a meal with protein, fat, fiber, throw in a high fiber carb, throw in some fruit or something there.
14:53
baylee: My honestly favorite go-to type is a banana smoothie, because banana's gonna provide you some great carbs.
15:01
baylee: I mean, it's not a searchy carb, it's just a little bit higher carved root.
15:04
baylee: So I like to do that when I'm hungover.
15:06
brianna: Yeah.
15:07
baylee: And bananas are really soothing for your gut as well.
15:09
baylee: So doing like banana almond milk, protein powder, I'll throw in chia seeds as always, and maybe even some like honey.
15:17
baylee: So that's kinda
15:18
brianna: you can stomach.
15:19
baylee: cure.
15:21
brianna: I love that.
15:21
brianna: That sounds good.
15:22
brianna: Like just normally
15:24
baylee: Yeah, I do that normally too, sometimes.
15:26
brianna: And something on the carbohydrate thing, this is.
15:28
brianna: Another reason why you don't wanna be like heavily restricting.
15:33
brianna: So a lot of people will be like, okay, I'm gonna go out for drinks and I'm gonna go out to a restaurant and have food and drinks tonight, so I'm gonna be like really mindful of my carbs.
15:42
brianna: In the beginning of the day because I know I'm gonna, you know, eat'em out.
15:47
brianna: Don't do that because what happens is your blood sugar is already probably pretty low because you've been avoiding carbs, and then you're gonna have alcohol, which makes it dip even lower.
15:56
brianna: So then your cravings are gonna be way higher because you have low blood sugar.
16:01
brianna: But also, Everybody knows that when you start drinking, you kind, everything kind of just goes out the window.
16:06
brianna: So now suddenly you're like, I'm kidding.
16:07
brianna: The nachos, the cheese fries, the this and that.
16:10
brianna: Like cuz you're starving, hello.
16:12
brianna: And then you have, you know, less control over it.
16:15
brianna: And then that also makes you feel really cruddy because your body is gonna be too busy trying to metabolize that alcohol.
16:21
brianna: It's not gonna be metabolizing those carbohydrates.
16:24
brianna: So your blood sugar is gonna be.
16:26
brianna: All over the place.
16:27
brianna: So if that's you and you're like, this is my game plan, this is what I do on vacation, don't do that because that's probably leading to a worse problem.
16:35
brianna: Number three, avoid darker colored alcoholic beverages.
16:39
brianna: So the main form of alcohol and alcoholic beverages is ethanol and darker liquors contain chemically related compounds including methanol.
16:47
brianna: So the same enzymes process, ethanol and methanol.
16:51
brianna: But methanol metabolites are especially toxic, so they cause a worse hangover.
16:59
baylee: Kinda crazy.
16:59
baylee: Sounds pretty simple and to the point.
17:01
brianna: Yeah.
17:02
brianna: So just avoid really dark alcohol.
17:04
baylee: Yes.
17:05
baylee: The last one, pain relievers can be helpful the next day, but not Tylenol, which dummy me, did not put two and two together in college.
17:15
baylee: And I used to do that.
17:18
baylee: Do not take Tylenol for like your pain reliever after drinking like aspirin, ibuprofen, or other NSAIDs can be helpful with like the headache or feeling aching.
17:28
baylee: But something like Tylenol, it's going to get processed through your liver.
17:31
baylee: So if your liver is trying to get rid of the alcohol and then you're adding Tylenol on top of it, it's not great.
17:37
baylee: It can actually cause like toxic effects to the liver.
17:40
baylee: So pain your liver is not Tylenol though
17:43
brianna: I actually, I heard a crazy story about that.
17:46
brianna: Recently, like it's actually very easy to like take in a toxic dose of Tylenol and you know, a lot of people think of like, oh, Tylenol, it's over the counter.
17:55
brianna: Like it's no big deal.
17:56
brianna: But you can actually take too much of it very easily, especially if your liver is too busy, metabolizing other things, and you're just having this toxic buildup.
18:04
brianna: So that's a really good one.
18:06
brianna: Yeah, be really careful about Tylenol.
18:08
baylee: Yes.
18:09
baylee: So I mean, overall we probably can't completely avoid hangovers if you're gonna overdo it, but those are things that are gonna help you.
18:17
baylee: And like I said, hangovers are gonna affect everyone differently.
18:19
baylee: I mean, Depending on what size you are as a person, someone who's smaller may have a worse hangover by drinking the same as a larger person.
18:28
baylee: So these sips are gonna help you not feel as bad.
18:32
baylee: But also making sure we're not just drinking on empty stomach, we don't really wanna save calories or skip meals.
18:37
baylee: Cuz again, like Brianna was saying, once we're drinking, we get to that point like, Everything goes out the window.
18:44
baylee: We order$50 within Taco Bell, and we're gonna feel even worse.
18:50
baylee: So
18:50
brianna: like, I need food.
18:52
baylee: yes.
18:53
baylee: Yes.
18:54
baylee: So,
18:54
brianna: gosh.
18:56
baylee: Eating your regular meals, not saving calories, drinking and moderation, like we've heard this all before, but we really help these hope, these tips are gonna help you not feel so crummy.
19:05
baylee: We're not promoting you to go get drunk every week, and that's not what we're doing here, but we're being realistic with you and understand that.
19:12
baylee: Yeah, there are some times we drink too much.
19:14
brianna: Yeah.
19:14
brianna: We wanna tell you things that you can do to help yourself in the event that you drink, because.
19:19
brianna: Like, let's just be honest, you know?
19:21
baylee: So our last little tidbit we wanted to point out, you have probably read before that I think it's like, I don't wanna say like recommendations, so it's not really recommended to drink, but kind of like, okay.
19:33
baylee: Guidelines.
19:34
baylee: So women know more than one drink per day and men know more than two drinks per day.
19:39
baylee: So one drink is equal to 12 ounces of beer, and that has like 5% of alcohol or five ounces of wine.
19:48
baylee: That's 12% of alcohol, or one and a half ounces of like 80 proof liquor.
19:53
baylee: That is what one drink looks like.
19:56
baylee: And like I said, the guidelines is like women.
19:58
baylee: One drink per day, men two drinks per day.
20:02
baylee: But what Brianna and I both talk about with any of our clients is really less than two days per week is going to be more ideal than having a drink every night.
20:13
baylee: Really drinking.
20:14
baylee: It's gonna slow your metabolism, it's going to impact your sleep, it's going to impact your blood sugar control.
20:19
baylee: So for doing it every night, you can really see how our body's just not gonna recover as well.
20:24
brianna: and even if, I mean we've talked about this in previous episodes, but if you're one of those people that's like, I just like to have my glass of wine before bed, like it really is impacting your sleep.
20:34
brianna: I mean, you might think, oh, it just helps me like feel relaxed.
20:36
brianna: I actually fall asleep, but.
20:38
brianna: You're not getting good sleep, which leads to poor blood sugar management the next day.
20:43
brianna: Like regardless of what you do, I mean, there's been plenty of people who have worn like CGMs to see how their body is the next day.
20:49
brianna: And your blood sugar is just so much harder to control after your body has metabolized alcohol.
20:56
brianna: So if you can really limit this to like one or two days a week, you're much more well off than like, okay, I'm just gonna have one drink a day.
21:05
brianna: You know?
21:06
brianna: Realistically and honestly, who drinks one drink a day?
21:09
baylee: Yeah.
21:10
brianna: I just, you know what I mean?
21:12
brianna: No one's ever like, I'm having a 5% beer.
21:15
brianna: That's, you know, so if you can just limit really the days, and I think that's gonna be much better.
21:21
brianna: And then obviously really making sure that your body is set up to metabolize that alcohol.
21:25
brianna: You're feeling your best the next day.
21:28
brianna: You're not doing stuff to like, Cause your liver like more damage, like just really setting yourself up.
21:32
brianna: I think that would be a better,
21:35
baylee: Mm-hmm.
21:35
brianna: topic.
21:36
brianna: And that's something that we can all do, right?
21:38
brianna: Because I mean, sure PE people are listening to this and it's like, I'm not gonna drink one glass of wine on vacation.
21:43
brianna: You know?
21:44
brianna: So whatever you could do.
21:46
baylee: Yes.
21:46
baylee: And yeah, like we said, I mean, we're not recommending to drink twice a week or anything like that.
21:53
baylee: More just.
21:54
baylee: Keeping it under two times.
21:56
baylee: If you drink zero times in a week, great.
21:59
baylee: You're probably gonna feel really good.
22:00
baylee: And yeah, it can definitely be an adjustment for people.
22:03
baylee: I'm not saying it's going to be super easy, especially if you're used to coming home having a glass or three of of wine every night.
22:09
baylee: So it's an adjustment period, just like anything else.
22:12
baylee: So just slowly working to cut back, that's gonna be very beneficial.
22:16
brianna: And I would encourage you to like pay attention to how you're feeling.
22:19
brianna: So something that I started doing a while back was not having because I, I like wine, so not having wine on weekdays.
22:27
brianna: Right.
22:28
brianna: And I realized I.
22:30
brianna: I'm not as tired when I wake up in the morning.
22:32
brianna: Like even if I do have that one glass of wine, you know, I'm not hungover, not drunk.
22:36
brianna: But even so, when I wake up the next day, I'm a lot more drowsy.
22:39
brianna: So I noticed that I wasn't, when I wasn't drinking it during the weeknight.
22:43
brianna: So pay attention to how you feel.
22:45
brianna: Like, do you feel like you have less cravings?
22:47
brianna: Do you feel like you sleep better?
22:49
brianna: Do you feel more energized?
22:50
brianna: And really make that decision for yourself?
22:53
brianna: Because really at the end of the day, that's what's going to.
22:56
brianna: Make long-term changes.
22:58
brianna: You know, just listening to us tell you, Hey, don't do that isn't gonna really do anything unless you clue into like how it actually makes you feel.
23:04
baylee: Mm-hmm.
23:05
baylee: Yes.
