- 0:08Hi, Karina.
- 0:09This is Marie.
- 0:10I've been a Toyota Palin since 2014.
- 0:13I went through a payment of post-training pandemic,
- 0:15and I'm just now starting to learn how to adjust my workouts
- 0:20and adjust my food in order to get it.
- 0:22I wouldn't send my body back, but yes, my body back.
- 0:26And cardio is not the answer for us anymore.
- 0:29Cardio is important, but it's very important for us
- 0:33to have protein and lip weight.
- 0:35I had seen Toyota take a different route in the last few years.
- 0:39They just didn't fit the same needs as I had.
- 0:41I go through my faces from being a triathlete
- 0:44when I was younger to then being very yoga focused
- 0:48to now really being obsessed with strength training.
- 0:52That's definitely for me personally.
- 0:55I want to focus on that.
- 0:56I just wanted to say that I'm loving the new year,
- 1:00new TIU challenge.
- 1:02And it's just so fun working out with all the OGs again.

- 2:20No, you found like it was at a DM or a email.
- 2:22Well, that too.
- 2:23Yeah, so I've been a Toned Up girl since I lived in Utah
- 2:27and I was in high school.
- 2:29Maybe even junior high, I don't even know.
- 2:31I'll be 30 this year, so many years ago.
- 2:33But yeah, I actually DMed Toned Up in 2017,
- 2:37begging for a social media manager job
- 2:40because they posted on LinkedIn or however, you know,
- 2:44Glastor or whatever it is.
- 2:45And I was like, hey, beauties, I'm such a fan.
- 2:48I would love to do the social media for you.
- 2:51And I'm sure it got lost in a million other ones.
- 2:52But you know, it's like a full circle moment.
- 2:55And it's just nice to be here doing everything I love
- 2:58for a company that I love.
- 3:00And you grow up with literally grew up.
- 3:03Literally grew up with you guys, grew up with Toned Up.
- 3:05I grew up with you.
- 3:06I think that if I go to my Instagram,
- 3:09like chronological order of accounts I followed,
- 3:11I think you and Toned Up,
- 3:13I was like the first account I followed.
- 3:14So it's just, I don't know, grateful to be here.
- 3:17I think it's with work and career.
- 3:21You can do something and like clock in, clock out.
- 3:23And it's like you can be miserable
- 3:26or you can be like neutral
- 3:27or you can be really excited about what you do.
- 3:29And I actually have a lot of passion in it.
- 3:31And I'm just happy to love what I do
- 3:33and it doesn't feel like work.
- 3:34So I love seeing every comment.
- 3:36I love connecting with people.
- 3:38So say hi to me.
- 3:39If you ever need an email, question about anything.
- 3:42Desiree at Toned Up.

- 3:46I'm here to support you.
- 3:47I'm here every step of the way.
- 3:49So yeah.
- 3:50So does and I have worked together outside of Toned Up
- 3:54between, you know, just with the big silence
- 3:57and me personally for four years
- 4:01and then now with this new acquisition
- 4:03that we're celebrating, you know, she's coming on over.
- 4:07Like, yeah, I'm so excited.
- 4:09It's been a whirlwind, so many emotions
- 4:12and ups and downs and uncertainties.
- 4:16And I think the biggest thing I've just taken away from this
- 4:19is I'm, I'm so proud of you and I'm happy
- 4:22that you took this leap and it wasn't easy.
- 4:25I know she seems like she has it all together
- 4:27all the time and she works so hard,
- 4:29but it's not easy putting yourself out there like that
- 4:32and doing what like you feel in your heart
- 4:34is the right thing even not knowing
- 4:37how it's gonna turn out is like believing in yourself
- 4:39and just taking that leap.
- 4:41It's been really great to see and watch you evolve.
- 4:43And I know it's the same for the community.
- 4:46I see every comment.

- 6:35It's, we're here for all of it, so.
- 6:37Yeah, and does chose a few.
- 6:40Yes, I highlighted kind of a random bundle of questions.
- 6:45But even before we get there,
- 6:47like leave me a message because I feel like we're all
- 6:52in this new experience.
- 6:54We're excited of having Toner Up coming home again
- 6:58and having those conversations that we all need.
- 7:02Myself included.
- 7:03I mean, just some of these questions,
- 7:04it shows that we all really are going to the same thing.
- 7:08So many just parts of life we are growing, evolving,
- 7:12struggling, like just the same things.
- 7:14And so it's like, let's bring those conversations out.
- 7:17And a lot of it's not talked about.
- 7:18So I'm here for all of the conversations.
- 7:20And I don't know if I've told you yet,
- 7:22but I want to have community members come on the podcast.
- 7:25Yes, no, we've been talking about that
- 7:27and I love the idea of it.
- 7:28I just, I think that why not?
- 7:30Yeah, yeah.
- 7:31We've had, on the big silence, Katrina Serdi was on there
- 7:35and her incredible story.
- 7:36Yeah.
- 7:37But I feel like we have so much to share together.
- 7:41And I want to, I want to bring that in.
- 7:44Yeah, me too.
- 7:46OK.
- 7:47All right.
- 7:48So Cesaray is just like choosing at a random.
- 7:52I'm nervous.
- 7:53I'm a little nervous.
- 7:54You and me both.
- 7:56Hi, Kareena.
- 7:57This is Marie.
- 7:58I've been a Toner Up fan since 2014.
- 8:01Followed you and Katrina for years.
- 8:04I'm just so proud to hear that you've
- 8:05been able to reacquire Toner Up as well.
- 8:07I wanted to say congratulations on that
- 8:10because I had seen Toner Up take a different route
- 8:14in the last few years.
- 8:15And just with my own advancing in life,
- 8:19it just didn't fit the same needs as I had when I was younger.
- 8:23And so I'm really excited for this new change
- 8:26and the welcoming back of Tori, Steph, and China,
- 8:30who were some of my most favorite trainers to work out with
- 8:34besides you and Katrina.
- 8:35But I'm just so excited for you.
- 8:36I'm excited to see where this goes.
- 8:39If I could just make not really a suggestion,
- 8:43but just put this out there.
- 8:45I too am going through Perry, Menopause.
- 8:47And I would love to see workouts that support that
- 8:51or nutrition that helps with that.
- 8:53Because right now I'm just really lost when it comes to that.
- 8:58But either way, this is not about me.
- 8:59I'm super excited for you.
- 9:01And I'm super grateful that you were
- 9:03able to hang on to Toner Up and basically take it back
- 9:07to where it used to be where all these women loved
- 9:09and supported both Toner Up and our trainers.
- 9:13I thank you so much and I'm happy for you.
- 9:15Congratulations.
- 9:18Take a moment there.
- 9:22Why do I get emotional?
- 9:24Because it's emotional, it's life.
- 9:29Dang, there's so many things I could say there.
- 9:32Thank you, number one.
- 9:34I feel the excitement of everyone.
- 9:37And when I get emotional, it's excitement for me as well
- 9:42to be back here, to be back home together.
- 9:48And all the experiences, let's talk Perry Menopause
- 9:52and Menopause.
- 9:53It's a lot I want to talk about on this podcast as well
- 9:57because I've had so many DMs about that.
- 10:01And going through it pretty early in the weight gain
- 10:04and the insomnia, which does knows.
- 10:09A TV was cracking all night last night.
- 10:17Yeah, it's wild.
- 10:19So we're going to get a lot of experts on here
- 10:21talking about hormones and Perry Menopause,
- 10:25Menopause, all the things that we need moving through life
- 10:29together.
- 10:30I think there was another message asking
- 10:32if we were geared towards younger generations or us.
- 10:37I think tone it up has always been for everyone.
- 10:41But I definitely will be speaking more on my own experience
- 10:46and us that we've been through for the past 16 years.
- 10:50Even, I mean, you, you're 29, but you're going through
- 10:54all the things too, so.
- 10:55Yeah, I'm with your hormone, ups and downs.
- 10:58PMDD, like just a lot of hormone changes.
- 11:01I got off birth control two and a half years ago.
- 11:03And it's been hell.
- 11:04It's been hell on earth.
- 11:06I went from being very balanced on birth control
- 11:09because I have these synthetic hormones.
- 11:11Not saying there's anything wrong with it.
- 11:12It just eventually didn't work for my body.
- 11:14And after a decade, I got off of it.
- 11:16I turn into just a different person, like a week of the month.
- 11:20And it's this like estrogen, all these ups and downs.
- 11:23It's really overwhelming.
- 11:24And I made a TikTok like, hey, does anyone have any advice
- 11:27for me?
- 11:28Can I take anything?
- 11:29Is there supplements?
- 11:30Like, what do I do?
- 11:31So it's really any age.
- 11:32It's not even just paramanopause.
- 11:33It's that's a whole other, you know, ballpark.
- 11:35But I think we're all going through the hormone shifts in life
- 11:38and it's, it's really lifelong.
- 11:40Yeah, I think there's been such a highlight
- 11:42on paramanopause.
- 11:43Menopause right now.
- 11:44But even when we were, I was younger.
- 11:48It was there, but it's another thing that we weren't talking
- 11:51about.
- 11:52Yeah.
- 11:53Shifting like, why am I feeling this way this week
- 11:57of the month?
- 11:58Why am I?
- 11:59And then having so much judgment around, oh, she's a demon.
- 12:06I've been called a demon.
- 12:09I have.
- 12:10My boyfriend will call right now.
- 12:14It's just like total, it's, yeah, just you need to learn the demon.
- 12:22There's just so many things.
- 12:24Yeah, there's so many things that we need to learn more about.
- 12:26Yeah.
- 12:27And I don't think it's talked about enough.
- 12:28And I don't think that our everyday average healthcare OBGYN
- 12:32checkups, like I've been told my hormones are totally normal
- 12:34so many times when they're not.
- 12:36Yeah.
- 12:37It's just opening it up and figuring out how to actually dig
- 12:39a little bit deeper.
- 12:40Yeah.
- 12:41And we can do that together.
- 12:42I was told at the same time when I went to my OBGYN a few years ago
- 12:46and I was like, I think I'm going through parry.
- 12:49And she's like, nope, your blood work shows you're good.
- 12:52I'm like, I'm not literally, it was like the last time that I
- 12:56had my period.
- 12:57No, I'm not okay.
- 13:00Yeah.
- 13:01Okay.
- 13:02So more conversations to come, we want to emphasize all of
- 13:06that, all those questions, because I feel like we're all going
- 13:09to struggle through it together and we're going to thrive.
- 13:12We're going to get we are together together.
- 13:14All right.
- 13:15Next message.
- 13:16I don't know if we answered all those questions.
- 13:18I know.
- 13:19I think we did.
- 13:20Okay.
- 13:21Enough.
- 13:22Hi, Karina.
- 13:24This is Emily.
- 13:25I have been a long time follower.
- 13:27I've been working out with you guys since literally day one,
- 13:30since you were on YouTube.
- 13:32I think I should do your workouts on when you guys would.
- 13:35By the way, y'all, we're on YouTube.
- 13:37And there are a lot of free workouts on YouTube.
- 13:40We do upload a couple from each challenge.
- 13:43Like there are full workouts.
- 13:44There's great little shorts.
- 13:45We have a lot of good stuff on YouTube.
- 13:47And you can watch the tone and down podcasts on YouTube on the
- 13:51beach and just it was just always so much fun.
- 13:54Anyway, congratulations.
- 13:56I am so happy for you and excited to see everything you've been
- 14:00working on and all that's to come with all that said.
- 14:04I guess I was just curious and a little bit surprised and concerned
- 14:08when I noticed all the changes within the team,
- 14:11especially between you and Katrina.
- 14:14I hope this doesn't come off as like nosy or judgmental or
- 14:18anything.
- 14:19It's really just coming from a place of care and just long time
- 14:22connection.
- 14:23I kind of always just admire your guys friendship and your
- 14:26business partnership and just everything you guys shared.
- 14:29And I just wondered if you're still in touch or if there's
- 14:33anything you're open to sharing about your that transition,
- 14:36I guess, and that part of your life.
- 14:39But if this is something you'd rather keep private,
- 14:42I so respect that.
- 14:43And I was just literally asking from a place of love and curiosity
- 14:48as someone who's followed you both for so, so, so long.
- 14:51All that aside, I'm so excited.
- 14:53I'm so happy for you.
- 14:55Thank you so much for all you do with this community.
- 14:58You're such a big part of my self care and I'm so looking forward
- 15:02to working out with you, Steph, Tori, China.
- 15:05I'm looking forward to this next chapter, congrats.
- 15:09Thank you, Emily.
- 15:11Thank you for that message.
- 15:14Obviously I get a lot of DMs, messages, everything for those
- 15:20of you that don't know Katrina resigned from tone it up almost
- 15:25three years ago by choice.
- 15:28Respectfully, I haven't heard from her since.
- 15:33That's kind of.
- 15:35Okay, just say no, that noise is a sculpture.
- 15:38And it like cracks the metal all over now.
- 15:41And then there's not much else to say.
- 15:44I see the comments too.
- 15:45I wish we could give you this tea you've been wanting.
- 15:48And it's it's really not that deep.
- 15:50It's really just she resigned stepped away and she's doing her own thing.
- 15:55And we absolutely wish her the best.
- 15:57And we're focusing on tone it up and connecting
- 16:01with our community and keeping it thriving and having fun.
- 16:05And we're just looking forward and all positive.
- 16:09Yeah.
- 16:10And the most important thing to me with sticking with tone
- 16:15up and staying here was that I never wanted to give up on you,
- 16:19give up on the community, give up on myself on what has been
- 16:23built for 16 years because we're all here.
- 16:27And I don't know, I don't know how better to answer that question
- 16:31in those DMs that I get so many of other than.
- 16:35I don't know.
- 16:36None of us know.
- 16:37We don't know.
- 16:38But respectful to all parties.
- 16:41And I think thanks for pulling that question up.
- 16:46My bad.
- 16:47Just going slow.
- 16:49Might not be the best answer, but the best I can do.
- 16:52Yeah, but again, nothing but love positivity and good vibes over here.
- 16:56And that's what we're going to continue to do.
- 16:58Thanks Emily.
- 17:00Thanks Emily.
- 17:02Thousands of others.
- 17:04Yes, many.
- 17:05No, I know I really do.
- 17:07It's not been ignored is the biggest thing is we just more of a.
- 17:10We always want to stay respectful.
- 17:12And there's nothing bad to say.
- 17:13There's no drama.
- 17:14There's nothing to.
- 17:15It's just life changes.
- 17:17It's been 17 years almost of tone it up and things change.
- 17:22Yeah.
- 17:23And we're going to do our best to keep you guys happy and excited.
- 17:26And just feel the love.
- 17:28And that's about the best answer we have.
- 17:31Or what are you pulling up next?
- 17:33Sorry.
- 17:34Oh, Karina.
- 17:41I can't tell you how happy I am to hear of your return.
- 17:48I started to win enough in 2012.
- 17:50And I had the pleasure of meeting you and Katrina during your tour
- 17:55when you came to San Francisco.
- 17:57I bowed my eyes out as soon as I saw you guys before meeting you guys before joining
- 18:0322.
- 18:04I was first introduced to you guys from your TV show.
- 18:09Turn it up.
- 18:10Pause there.
- 18:11The tone up.
- 18:12Okay.
- 18:13If you all don't know on Bravo and you can watch it.
- 18:17And over the holiday season, Bobby who has never watched the entire series.
- 18:22He's like shy to watch herself.
- 18:24And now he hates it.
- 18:26He's like, I don't watch myself on TV.
- 18:28But we went through all the episodes.
- 18:31So you can watch it on Bravo.
- 18:33So that was really fun.
- 18:35I love it.
- 18:36That was the best.
- 18:37Yeah.
- 18:38I know we sat one nightly.
- 18:39We did.
- 18:40We watched the whole thing probably a few years ago.
- 18:42Yeah.
- 18:43Sitting here in Palm Springs.
- 18:44And just laughing.
- 18:45We were dying.
- 18:46It was so fun.
- 18:47I'm on my walk.
- 18:50So forgive my husband and husband.
- 18:54I am a static.
- 18:58For this journey.
- 19:00I love that we have all grown together.
- 19:04Like you said, Mary's marriages, divorces, losses.
- 19:12Changes just with our bodies.
- 19:16And I would love nothing more than for there to be some sort of focus on postmenopause workouts.
- 19:29And I went through menopause, a period of menopause, during the pandemic.
- 19:34And I'm just now starting to learn how to adjust my workouts and just my food.
- 19:40In order to get.
- 19:42I wouldn't say my body back, but yes, my body back.
- 19:46And the fact that you went through menopause early.
- 19:50I'm sure that you can 100% relate.
- 19:53And cardio is not the answer for us anymore.
- 19:57Walking is and strain training.
- 20:00You did not nutrition in.
- 20:02So long message.
- 20:06But if there could be any sort of focus on that phase of life, that would be so incredible.
- 20:15Because I know a lot of the women that are in the community are getting close to that phase of life.
- 20:23I started at 45.
- 20:26I was in the first straight training.
- 20:29List cardio and walking days.
- 20:32But I'm so happy for you to be back.
- 20:36I think we are.
- 20:38Hearing a lot of what we want right now in terms of how we are taking care of our hormones in this stage of our life.
- 20:47And I love that.
- 20:49And yeah, I want to again, I'm going to.
- 20:52I'm such a greener done.
- 20:54Doctors you want to hear from people you want to hear from experts.
- 20:58Bring that out.
- 21:00I'm just so grateful for the community who is still here.
- 21:03And we feel each other.
- 21:05We see each other.
- 21:07And for all of us just connecting.
- 21:11With each other.
- 21:13I was a long message.
- 21:15That was a long message.
- 21:20I think she just wants to see more support postmenopause.
- 21:23And she feels her body reacting differently to cardio and all the things that, you know, we.
- 21:30I guess initially, not just, you know, just in general thought was the right answer.
- 21:34And maybe it's not working anymore.
- 21:36So I think I agree more strength training more, which I've been focused on.
- 21:39And I always talk about how I go through my faces from being a triathlete.
- 21:44And I was younger to doing this to then being very yoga focused.
- 21:48To now like really being obsessed with strength training.
- 21:53Because we know as we get older, we need to gain muscle and it's a lot harder.
- 21:58And then some supplements that we need to have.
- 22:01That's definitely for me personally.
- 22:04I want to focus on that.
- 22:05So there will be more content around that.
- 22:08Yeah.
- 22:09And also with SpeakPipe, it's just a great platform for us to be able to really hear what you want to see.
- 22:15So, of course, we're paying attention and reading all the comments and DMs and question boxes and stories.
- 22:20But just more types of workouts and more of what you like.
- 22:24And favorite trainers or favorite types of workouts that they're doing.

- 22:32Recipe requests.
- 22:33Just I love that kind of direction.
- 22:36And we have so many things from Pilates, Strength, Hit, Bar, Boxing, Kettlebell.
- 22:41Yeah.
- 22:42Yeah.
- 22:43Yeah.
- 22:44I mean, if you look at New Year, New T.I.U.
- 22:47To be who you already are, Steph's workouts.
- 22:50Portal.
- 22:51I gave her a 35 pound dumbbell.
- 22:55She was.
- 22:56She crushed it though.
- 22:57I was like, is she really doing what's in there?
- 22:59You think it was five pounds.
- 23:00Thanks.
- 23:01Yeah.
- 23:02Yeah.
- 23:03Everyone's workouts are totally strength focused and cardio cardio is important.
- 23:09It's very important for us to have protein and lift weights.
- 23:14Yeah.
- 23:15I think with the protein, you don't even realize how much protein you aren't eating until
- 23:20you really think about it.
- 23:21I always think of Sandy.
- 23:22Sandy's always in the back of my head.
- 23:24Sandy, you're listening.
- 23:25I'm like, most hard boiled eggs.
- 23:28Must get my protein.
- 23:29Must do it because it is.
- 23:30Protein's important.
- 23:31Strength is important.
- 23:32But it is.
- 23:33It's all about balance and also slowing down to do low impact and walking and just doing
- 23:37what makes you feel good.
- 23:38Yeah.
- 23:39And even inclined walking is really good for you.
- 23:41So thanks.
- 23:42Strength training and inclined walking.
- 23:45But yeah, we are like in the tone of app, we have all of that for you.
- 23:50Yeah.
- 23:51Along with meditations and sleep meditations, which we all need as well.
- 23:56Yes.
- 23:57Okay.
- 23:58We have so many more to share.
- 24:00We want more to come in.
- 24:01They'll definitely be more to come.
- 24:02I do want to mention.
- 24:03Yeah.
- 24:04So many questions discussing about eating disorders.
- 24:07And there is one of your tone of up trainers who wants to open up about this specifically.
- 24:13So that will be coming.
- 24:15So hit that subscribe button.
- 24:17So you don't miss that conversation.
- 24:19It will be very vulnerable.
- 24:21And it.
- 24:23She brought it up to me to really want to talk about it.
- 24:27So grateful that she's open to it.
- 24:29And people have asked me about that.
- 24:31Yeah.
- 24:32I was a teenager.
- 24:33I had some stuff going on as an adult.
- 24:35And now where I am now, I'm very healthy with the way that I eat.
- 24:39It's probably taken a long time.
- 24:41There's a lot of pressure in this world.
- 24:43But so many things right now.
- 24:45I know.
- 24:46Yeah.
- 24:47I mean, growing up my like high school years and preteens was like the when social media started.
- 24:53I feel like I was the first.
- 24:54Yeah.
- 24:55Like introduction to Instagram and just social media and, you know, body comparisons and whatever it is.
- 25:01But I mean, I struggled.
- 25:03I was 13.
- 25:04I was so underweight my whole life.
- 25:05And then I hit puberty and I gained like 30 pounds.
- 25:08And it was just so confusing for me as a teen.
- 25:10And I just turned to restrictive eating, not taking care of myself.
- 25:14I didn't work out at all because I just didn't want to gain any weight.
- 25:17And I had all of these crazy ideas.
- 25:19And that's when I found tone it up.
- 25:20And it honestly was the first like actual movement.
- 25:23And community and like taking care of myself.
- 25:26And I think it's an important conversation that has so much stigma.
- 25:29And just like at the big silence, we always want to remove the stigma and talk about it.
- 25:34Because a lot more people are struggling with it or have struggled with it than you think.
- 25:38So I just think it's important.
- 25:39So I'm excited for her to open that conversation.
- 25:41Yeah.
- 25:42A lot of us can really.
- 25:43Yeah.
- 25:44Definitely.
- 25:45We'll have more conversations here about that.
- 25:46And also big silence podcast has a lot of those mental health conversations.
- 25:51I've had that podcast for four years now.

- 29:01Okay.
- 29:02I just started working with you.
- 29:04Maybe I don't know a few months prior.
- 29:06I was really happy.
- 29:08And I was in like crappy relationship though.
- 29:11And I was really wanting to travel.
- 29:13And I was kind of like I was in LA for like five, six years.
- 29:17I was feeling very stagnant.
- 29:18And then I was like excited about career.
- 29:20But I wanted to travel.
- 29:21So I took a random like contract job and agreed to do.
- 29:27So it was like fitness stuff.
- 29:28I got on a plane on a plane to Bali.
- 29:30A week later for like three months.
- 29:32And I went to Sydney and Bali.
- 29:34And it was just so much fun.
- 29:36And I left that stupid relationship.
- 29:38And I remember being on the back of like a scooter.
- 29:40And I was playing my favorite song.
- 29:42I was told not to go that.
- 29:45That my girlfriend cannot go across the world for work.
- 29:49Not on my watch.
- 29:50That's not going to happen.
- 29:51So I was like, okay, bye.
- 29:52And I went.
- 29:53And I was on the back of these like scooters in Bali with my headphones.
- 29:55Like listening to my favorite songs.
- 29:57And I was so excited.
- 29:58Because I just started with you.
- 29:59I had this great feeling.
- 30:00It was this full circle.
- 30:01And I was like, life is about to get so good.
- 30:04And I remember this just moment.
- 30:06And it was so good.
- 30:07And it's my core memory.
- 30:09And it was kind of like when it felt like my life started.
- 30:12Wow.
- 30:13Okay.
- 30:14Another discussion for tone it down is relation.
- 30:18Dating.
- 30:19I mean, one of the sweet pipes was about.
- 30:23Yeah, we've gone through divorce.
- 30:25I mean, I also, Bobby and I have gone through so much over the years too.
- 30:29You know, we had a rough patch of years ago.
- 30:31Seven-year-its.
- 30:32That's like a thing.
- 30:33It's okay.
- 30:34It's okay.
- 30:35Okay.
- 30:36Okay.
- 30:37We have to end this soon.
- 30:38So I'm going to pull.
- 30:39I don't know.
- 30:40I forget what the like when we were with the trainers,
- 30:42we're like scared of the green ones.
- 30:44So pull a green.
- 30:45No.
- 30:46What color your sister's pink.
- 30:49They seem more chill.
- 30:51That's lame.
- 30:52Do it on the one.
- 30:53Okay.
- 30:54One inspires you.
- 30:55You already know what it's.
- 30:56Okay.
- 30:57I'm doing green.
- 30:58Do it.
- 30:59I knew you were going to pick that one.
- 31:01Yes.
- 31:02I was eyeing that one and I knew you were going to pick it.
- 31:05Who in your life do you want to spend more time with and why?
- 31:09I feel like I should say my husband in quality time.
- 31:13He's not here right now.
- 31:15His father just passed away.
- 31:17But who do I want to spend more time with?
- 31:20I feel like I do.
- 31:21I surround myself with the people I want to spend more time with.
- 31:25I don't feel like we spend time together.
- 31:28I was going to say you definitely don't need any more time with me.
- 31:30We're just always running around.
- 31:32No.
- 31:33I see one more.
- 31:34Yeah.
- 31:35Take that one.
- 31:36Okay.
- 31:37Is your scene live at conflict or in harmony with your inner life?
- 31:42It's actually a great question.
- 31:44Kind of like outside versus inside world.
- 31:46I think I'm pretty like.
- 31:49A vulnerable outside.
- 31:52My scene life is what it is.
- 31:54I'm talking here about the struggles of even with tone it up over the past so many years.
- 32:01And what I do with work and I've already mentioned relationships.
- 32:05So I believe that my scene life is what.
- 32:10My inner life is.
- 32:11I don't know.
- 32:12And you know me.
- 32:14Yeah.
- 32:16Even you're here yesterday.
- 32:17I'm like, oh my god.
- 32:18I can't deal with this.
- 32:19Like sunrise at 7 a.m.
- 32:22And some set at 5.30 a.m.
- 32:24And I think I was seasonal.
- 32:25I just sort of.
- 32:27I know.
- 32:28I'm moving to Miami in a couple of weeks to get away from it.
- 32:30I get it.
- 32:31When seasonal depression gets so bad, you just leave.
- 32:33I'm pretty open.
- 32:35I honestly, I just am pretty open.
- 32:38Gosh, we can just keep on these.
- 32:39What's the new pink one?
- 32:40All right.
- 32:41And then we got to go.
