Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
Hawkgirl Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
a new mindset, and another day for you to become
the Hawkgirl Energy you want to attract. Hello you, guys,
welcome back to another episode. This week has been totally
chaotic for me. I am leaving on a trip this weekend,
and I really wanted to get a podcast episode up,
but obviously all the last minute things are being thrown
in my face when it comes to work, when it
comes to house appointments, and just like all in all appointments,
prepping for the trip, all that. So to be fully transparent,
I did not have the time to write a script
or prepare for a podcast episode this week. But I'm like,
you know what, I haven't done a sit down girl
chat episode in such a long time. I just thought
it'd be fun to kind of share some updates on
where I'm going on this trip, you know, house updates,
my back injury, things that I'm doing to kind of
prepare myself for pregnancy, all that. So this is very
much just kind of like a personal episode but I
always love to do episodes like this the odd time.
That way we can kind of build a personal connection
and you guys can kind of get a bit of
a life update of what's been going on currently in
my life. Okay, firstly, let's talk about this trip, because
I'm leaving this weekend to go to Costa Rica, which
I am so beyond excited for. If you've been to
Costa Rica, please send me your rex. I would love
your recommendations. But I've never been, and I'm very very excited.
I feel like usually around this time of the year,
I'm always itching for a trip.
Speaker 2: I'm always wanting to get away.
Speaker 1: And January is obviously the longest month of the year,
which we all know, or at least feels like the
longest month of the year in my opinion, and I
just always feel like I'm craving a trip or this
time of the year, especially with you know, February coming
around the corner. I know February is usually a pretty
hard month for me as well, with the winter blues
in the winter season, and I just am always itching
to get a little bit of sunshine, a little bit
of a tan. So I booked a last minute trip,
and I am going to Costa Rica with my sister
and my parents. So unfortunately Zach is not coming with us.
He is stuck here getting some stuff done for work,
which is totally fine. But I just want to talk
about like going on a trip with your parents, because
coming from someone who is almost thirty, still going on
vacations with my parents, I think is honestly cool in
my opinion, because I kind of picture my life, you know,
a few years from now, hoping that Zach and I
have one or two kids by that point, and I
want my parents to come on vacations with us, especially
when the kids are young, at least one trip a year,
and then Zach and I with our future children, all
going to a resort that's kid friendly, you know, having
my parents help out, kind of just going on a
trip with my family, and then including my parents and
my sister and my sister's future husband and my sister's
future kids eventually as well. Like I think, you know,
combining family trips and like doing it with your sibling
and then having your sibling with their husband and their kids,
and just kind of creating a tradition where you can
go on trips, whether it's during the holiday season for Christmas,
or if it's birthdays, or if it's honestly like just
this time of the year, wanting to get to a
tropical location. Like I picture my life doing a trip
with my parents, with my kids and my family in general,
and seeing that as like a yearly tradition thing. I
don't know, that's just my opinion, but I can see
that happening. And then also going on a trip with
just me and my husband, like just me and Zach
getting away, needing a break from the kids, you know,
also prioritizing our relationship, making that a priority. And then
maybe again just going on a trip with just my family,
so me, my husband, and my two kids going somewhere
or maybe more local that's a bit easier to you know,
travel with kids, maybe somewhere in Canada. Again, doing a
little trip with just us four or three or whenever
we have kids kind of situation. So that would be
like my dream world of how I would picture my
life is doing three vacations each year and kind of
spacing out that way. Anyways, I just wanted to talk
about that quickly because I feel like some people might
turn their head saying like you're almost thirty and you're
going on a vacation with your parents. Hey, if my
parents want to take me on a trip and they're
going somewhere warm and I can't go away with my
husband because my husband is stuck here working, I'm gonna say,
hecky yes, and I'm going to enjoy that time with
my family because I think I've really appreciated the time
of you know, just like realizing how much my parents
have done for me. I think as you age, you
kind of realize like, wow, like my parents have done
a lot for me, and I truly do appreciate it.
But also just like once you move out and you
don't go as home as much, I feel like I
definitely see my parents kind of always struggling and always
like seeing me on a weekly basis and just kind
of like missing me not being home all the time.
And I have a very close relationship with my family,
and I know not everyone's like that, but it does
make me a little sad because I think about, you know,
my future, and I think about my kids moving out.
Obviously that's years and years away from that, but the
point is is that like my parents obviously still see
me as their baby girl. Right, So so if I'm
able to do these, you know, week trips with them
or just like going to see them on a weekly
basis and doing a dinner with them, like I know
that means so much to them.
Speaker 2: And also like.
Speaker 1: Our parents are getting older, right, Like that's also something
I think about, Like it's kind of scary to think
how time is going by so fast. Like I feel
like I'm not almost thirty. I feel like I'm like
nineteen or twenty not really, but you know what I mean,
Like I feel like time hasn't moved this fast. Like mentally,
I feel like I'm like twenty five, but I'm twenty nine.
But the point is is that I just have realized
how fast time is going by and how much I
appreciate my parents and kind of trying to put myself
in their shoes of understanding that you know, their first
daughter is married and moved out and is trying to
have a baby. Like I think that's really wild to
think about and something that makes me realize that like
I should truly appreciate the time that I spend with
my parents, and to also just feel so lucky that
I do have a good relationship with my family, and yeah,
I actually had an influencer message me. She's a mom,
she has a daughter that's three years old, and she
literally completely changed my perspective about, you know, me traveling
with my parents at this age. She said, I pray
that my daughter at twenty nine years old wants to
go on vacation with me, like, and that break there
kind of change my perspective where it's like, you know what,
I am going to see it that way too when
I'm a mom and I have a kid, Like, it
would be a dream of mine to have such a
strong relationship with my daughter or future son and be
able to like travel with them and do fun things
together with them. So anyways, that's what kind of changed
my perspective on that. And now I actually look forward
to doing a trip with my parents every single year.
So anyways, I just kind of change my perspective on that,
and I actually really get excited about spending time with
my family and enjoy the moments that we do have
together and the excitement around just I don't know, being
able to go on a trip with them, and honestly,
we always have the most fun memories and most funny times,
and I want to try and film a lot of
family content, not just like me and my sister, but
try and include my parents, because my parents are actually
so funny.
Speaker 2: My dad is literally he could be a comedian. I'm
not even over exaggerating.
Speaker 1: My mom, on the other hand, she is so funny,
but she does not always want to be on camera,
so that's why I don't always film stuff when I'm
with my parents, So I try to respect my mom's
privacy when she wants to be private. But my mom
is so freaking funny and she doesn't try to be funny.
She's just like naturally, like the queen of like drama.
I can't even explain how my mom is.
Speaker 2: My mom is just like, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, she's just really funny and she just like attracts
drama all the time and it just makes me laugh.
Like she's just a really funny individual naturally. So anyways,
stay tuned for live content. I'm gonna be posting a
lot on TikTok and Instagram, and of course i'm gonna
be blogging the entire trip on YouTube. So if you
want to follow along, make sure to follow my socials.
I'll link everything in my description down below. So obviously
this week it's just been really locking in and getting
everything done. I had a few brand deals that I
had to film that I finished today, which I'm so
happy about. I had one final house meeting that was
in regards to our tile selection. Picking grout colors, guys,
is no freaking joke, and thought, oh, you need to
pick different groat colors for different types of tile, and anyways,
it was just like very overwhelming, and I think there's
so many different groat colors that you could do, and
I don't know, I feel like that's not a detail
that you think about when you're designing a house. You're
just like, Okay, like this tile looks nice with this
wall color and this cabinet color and whatever.
Speaker 2: And then they're like, yeah, so now we.
Speaker 1: Need to pick a groat and we got to pick
this and I'm like whoa, Like what That's where I
got really thrown off and things started to get really
stressful because I couldn't make my mind up on certain things.
So anyways, that's kind of like a random house update.
But I think we only have one more decision that
we have to make, which is our on suite shower,
and that is it.
Speaker 2: Then we can sign off and.
Speaker 1: Everything and I can give you guys a whole update
of what the house is going to look like. So
I can actually show you guys, like rendering images of.
Speaker 2: How the house visually looks.
Speaker 1: We weren't able to provide any images just yet, just
because we've had to change a few things based off
of what the builder can or cannot do. I've talked
about this a lot on my YouTube channel, just kind
of providing house updates anytime I can, So if you
want more house stuff, I definitely talk about it a
lot on YouTube, just because that's the life I'm living
right now, is really just locking in and designing this
entire house from top to bottom. But we're basically done,
like we are so close to the finish line. So
I will be doing a house walkthrough hopefully when I'm
back for my trip, and I can show you guys
kind of like sketches and rendering drawings that our designers
have done of like what each space is going to
look like. And I'm so obsessed, guys, I literally am
freaking out like all the things that we selected. I'm
just so happy. Definitely have made a lot of like
changes since I first started this design process, but in
a good way. It's been like learning opportunities where it's like, Okay,
I almost went this direction, but I'm happy we're ending
on this decision because I think this is better for
the value of the house, or the future for the house,
or the design aspect, because obviously you don't want to
be too trendy when it comes to the designs, like
you want it to be, you know, something that's very minimalistic,
but that will also be something that will still be
in style ten to fifteen years from now, right, So
just trying to really focus on going down that route
when it comes to picking stuff, because of course you
see stuff on Pinterest and you're like, oh my god,
that's beautiful, and then my designer will be like, yeah,
but you might only love that for two years, and
I'm like, ooh, good point. We need to think longevity,
We need to think minimalistic and yeah, just because like
as much as I want to say this is our
forever home, like I could it could be our forever home,
but like I do also see us maybe having one
other house in the future that's a bit more secluded,
like I would love to be in the trees in
the forest and be kind of out of the city.
This house here is still in the city, which I
like only because, like, because we're trying to have kids,
I want to be in close proximity to our families
for the support. So it might be like my kids
will live here throughout their childhood, but then the next
house it might be like the teenage years, you know
what I mean. So I can't see us staying in
this house for a very long time, like between ten
to fifteen years, but I could also see us like
staying there forever if needed. But anyways, that's kind of
like the life planned for the house. But let's talk
about the appointments I'm doing this week, because obviously, when
you're going on a trip, you want to get all
these last minute things done before you leave. So the
first thing I did was I ordered a bunch of clothes.
Obviously I'm actually only I think I only bought three
new outfits. Everything else I'm actually bringing from my trips
from previous years. I told myself that I didn't want
to purchase too many things where I feel like I'm
not gonna wear ever again. Like, I only want to
purchase things that I know I'm gonna wear for future
trips or just like I don't know, just get good
value out of it for future things. So I really
did try my best to pick outfits that weren't things
that I was just gonna, you know, sell or give
away down the road. So I decided not to buy
too much for this trip, but I did invest in
some good quality things, like one brand that I continuously
buy from, and I'm gonna tell you right now it
is a little expensive, but I am always gravitating towards
these bikinis and these outfits, and that's from Monday Swimwear.
I'm obsessed with every Monday Swimwear bathing suit that I've
ever gotten, including the resort wear. So just like beach
cover ups, they had like really good like cover up dresses,
cover up pants, over shirts. They also have like really
cute dresses that you could wear like out to dinner
for like a nighttime outfit. Like if you need anything
for a tropical vacation, Monday Swimwear has everything. It truly
is my favorite brand when it comes to resort wear.
So honestly, I just ordered from there and Revolve that's it.
And I think Revolve I only got like a cowboy hat.
Like I literally didn't get any clothes whatsoever. So anyways,
I purposely decided to just invest in a brand that
I knew I was going to like the stuff, and
all this stuff that I've gotten from them in the
past has been so great, so I just knew for
a fact that it was worth.
Speaker 2: Paying the higher price point, knowing.
Speaker 1: That I was going to wear it for our future
trip that we're going on this summer. We have another
trip that we're going to. We're going to a wedding
in Portugal in the summer. So anyways, I just thought,
I'm like, I'll wear this again. I love, obviously re
wearing my bikinis. I have bikinis since like high school,
and I'm still wearing some of them. So I bought
one new bikini, and I think I bought two or
three Nu dresses. So I bought one new bikini and
then three outfits for the night time vibes. So that's
what I got for the trip, and then a cowboy
hat and just like random things off Amazon that I
needed before the trip, you know, and like you think
of like the Lost Man of the things that you
need on your flight Zach got me a Kindle for Christmas.
I bored my mom's kindle when I went to Italy
with Zach this past summer, and he surprised me with
the kindle for Christmas, which I was really happy about.
So I think I'm going to download the second Housemaid
book because I love The Housemaid the first book, and
I watched the movie, and I really told you guys
that I went to see the movie obsessed, except I
thought the book was better. I thought the book was
better than the movie only because obviously we knew what
happened beforehand. But the movie was still good. But they're
coming out with a second movie.
Speaker 2: It looks like.
Speaker 1: They've confirmed that they're going to be doing it for
the second book. So I'm gonna actually download the second book.
But if you have any other book recommendations, comment down
below or send me a message, because I'm pretty sure
I could probably read two full books while I'm away.
Maybe three, we'll see. But I spent a lot of
time reading when we were in Mexico this time last year,
me and Zach. I just think i'll have the time
to read a lot since i'll be tanning most of
the time, and I don't really like to be scrolling
on my phone while I'm at the beach. And also,
if you guys know, like when you're in the sun,
you can't really see anything on your phone, And the
Kindle is really really good because I feel like you
can see everything when you're outside.
Speaker 2: Two.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let me know your book recommendations. But I'm
very excited to just be chillin by the beach reading
a book. So anyways, ordered stuff for the trip, and
then I booked a nail appointment. I think I'm going
to do an almond shaped nail. Right now, I have
my square nails. I'm going to change it back to almond,
and I'm probably just gonna do like a neutral pink,
like kind of like a bubble bath situation toes, probably
like a baby pink. I don't ever like a neutral toe.
I don't know that's weird, but I'm not like neutral
nails on my toes, Like it's got to be some
type of pop.
Speaker 2: So I feel like I'll probably.
Speaker 1: Do like a baby pink or something that's like close
to my nail color but not neutral, like I need
to have a solid color. That's just something that I
don't know, doesn't look good on me, and I just
feel like I need to have color on my toes.
So I booked that, and then I also booked an
eyebrow waxing because I haven't got my eyebrows done since
before Christmas, so.
Speaker 2: I did that.
Speaker 1: I booked a facial because I haven't had a facial
done in so long. Felt so good. I got the
facial last week and it was so needed. My skin
was so dry. She's like, you needed this hydro facial
so badly. But I just know that as soon as
I'm in Costa Rica, my skin is gonna thank me.
Like being in the sunshine. I just feel like my
skin literally heels, and then I'll be good when I'm
back from Costa Rica. And then you know, my skin
will probably suffer again from being in the winter season
and going from obviously a hot climate's a cold climate.
Speaker 2: But that's okay.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to do another facial, probably at the end
of February or beginning of March. But I just feel
like facials are so important during this time of the
year because our skin is so dry.
Speaker 2: From the colder season.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just feel like it's something that I
try to keep up during the winter season versus the summer.
I feel like my skin thrives during the summer because
of the sun. So that's just like what works for me.
So hopefully booking another facial in February, and that's really it.
Just packing everything obviously is a non negotiable. I need
to still pack to be honest for this trip. So
just like picking up all last minute things that I
might need from like the drug store. I'm just thinking
of like smaller toilet trees or skincare products I might need.
I did go to Sephora yesterday actually and pick up
travel size like curl cream because I plan on doing
like my natural curly routine while I'm down there, just
because whenever I try and blow out my hair in
a very hot location, it never stays straight or it
never stays curly. It just goes really frizzy. So I'm
trying to do my natural hair routine because it stays
way better with a curl cream and a wave spray
in that type of climate versus like wasting all this
time blowing out my hair and it not turning out,
you know what I mean. So definitely going to prioritize. Yeah,
probably doing less heat on my hair in Costa Rica
and just embracing the natural curls. So that's kind of
everything I'm doing before the trip. I'm so excited. I'm
really looking forward to shooting fun content too with my
sister and just kind of being in a different location.
I feel like it always inspires me when I'm traveling
to kind of like shoot video content, take photos, obviously,
also give like outfit inspo all that. It's definitely one
of my favorite types of content to provide. I feel
like I always have such a fun time when I'm
traveling and doing content. I just feel like for me personally,
like I love doing routine videos and filming that. But
obviously for me sometimes I kind of feel like I'm
in a rut when I'm filming the same thing like
what I eat in a day, my morning routine, all that.
So it's kind of nice to go to a different
location and change it up a little bit and do
things that are a bit more out of my comfort zone,
like doing fun content with my sister, outfit videos all that,
And then when I come home from my trip, I
always feel reinspired to get back into my morning routine,
get back into filming my what I eat in a
days or whatever the case may be, you know what
I mean. So it's just a nice little content break
that I look forward to and change it up a
little bit. Okay, next point that I wanted to talk
about was my back injury because I am finally seeing progress, guys.
It has been such a long injury and I don't
even know if I told you guys that this injury
happened like four months ago, three or four months ago,
So it's something that I've been dealing with for a
while and just kind of ignored. But I am on
an anti inflammatory from my doctor, which I want to
talk about my doctor's appointment, just because the last episode
we kind of ended off there and I never really
got to share.
Speaker 2: With you guys, like an update of how the appointment went.
Speaker 1: But my doctor did prescribe me with an anti inflammatory
and I feel like it's helping a lot with my
back and obviously keeping up with stretches, and I haven't
been working out for two weeks now. I think my
body just really needed the break and just needed to
step aside from pilates and not work out at all.
But I do think this was for the best, and
I am seeing a lot more progress than what I
did this time last week. So I'm really happy that
things are working and I'm just going to keep doing
these things so the next two weeks in hopes that
my back is fully healed and I can again slowly
get back into getting back into my workouts and getting
back into routine, and hopes that my back injury is healed.
So that's a little update on my back injury. I'm
also really trying to focus on this back injury because,
as some of you may or may not know, my
husband and I do want to start trying soon. We're
not trying currently. Some people have made it pretty clear
to me that I shouldn't be taking an approxyin, which
is what I'm taking for my back, because it kind
of like pauses ovulation. It doesn't really happen when you're
on it. But I'm not actively trying in this exact moment,
So no stress on that for anyone that brought that up.
But I'm really trying to focus on my back right now.
That's like my main priority. The one conversation I had
with my doctor was I do not want to have
this back injury and be pregnant at the exact same time,
Like that just sounds like absolute hell in my opinion,
because if you've seen a few, you know, women posting
about pregnancy a lot of the time, the last few
months are like really difficult on your back. So I'm
really just trying to strengthen my back and make that
the main priority right now and then focus on, you know,
trying to conceive later. So that's kind of been on pause.
But I'm still prepping for pregnancy in the sense where
I'm still kind of like mentally preparing myself and getting
my body in a healthy state that I want it
to be in. So let's kind of talk about pregnancy
preper a second, just because I know there was a
few people that wanted me to.
Speaker 2: Talk about this on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I've talked about it a lot on TikTok and kind
of just shared some things that we're doing, me and
my husband, not just me, to kind of prepare ourselves
for trying to conceive. So one of them being I
had a doctor's appointment last week, as you guys know,
and I got blood work done, So that was my
first time ever getting blood work done, which some people
were like, killie, that's crazy that you've never gotten blood
work done before.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've been healthy, I've never like needed to get blood
work done for anything, so I just never needed to
do it, so I never really went. And then I
just had this gut feeling where I was like, you
know what, I feel like my sister needs to come
with me to this appointment because I don't know. I
just felt like I felt weird going into the appointment
not having someone there, just because I was like, Eh,
I don't know, I've never gotten blood work done before.
Speaker 2: Can you just come with me for moral support?
Speaker 1: Like it really wasn't anything serious, but I'm like, if
you could just come, that would be great. Thank goodness.
She came because I fainted, which was not expecting to
do that in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: It was wild.
Speaker 1: I have never experienced anything like that before. I'm talking
like full on body chills on my I was sweating,
I was very loopy, very dizzy, I was very nauseous.
I thought I was gonna throw up right there and then,
and all these symptoms had me thinking like, oh, I
must be low in something like I thought for sure
my blood work results were gonna come back. When I
saw my doctor about being low iron or being low
something right, And based on the symptoms that I was
experiencing from the blood work appointment, it was really gearing
me towards the low iron thing, which I'm like, okay,
maybe I'm iron deficient, Like I had no idea, right.
My doctor comes back with the results and she's like,
all right, everything looks great. I'm like sorry, what and
she's like, yeah, like no, everything is like in a
very healthy state, like there's nothing that you're low in.
I said, are you sure I'm not low in iron?
And she's like, you're actually like higher than most women.
I was like really, Like I was just like totally shocked.
I was like, okay, well, is there any other vitamins
I need to take, because here I am thinking, okay,
I gotta buy more vitamins to get my body in
a better state before pregnancy whatever. And she's like, no,
everything's perfect. Just keep doing what you're doing. I'm like, wow, okay,
Like I was just in complete shock. I really did
not think that the results would come back as good
as it did, and I'm so grateful that it came
back because I am a hypochondract Okay, I kind of
posted it on my Instagram story last week, just kind
of reminding everybody too, you know, go to the doctor's appointments.
Speaker 2: Don't avoid it.
Speaker 1: And there were so many people that messaged me after
just saying thank you so much, Like I was actually
going to cancel my appointment, but then you posted this,
and it just kind of like motivated me to push
through it and know that it's worth doing those checkups,
and it really is. It is so important to just
go through those appointments. I was so nervous going into
that appointment a finding out my results about the blood work.
I also had a PAP test booked that day, so
everything like was just like I was very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: About the entire situation.
Speaker 1: Like I was vibrating in the room in terms of
like I was shaking constantly because I was so nervous,
and I just didn't want to be there. Like clinics
freak me out, hospitals freak me out. Like I do
not like anything medical. I could never be a doctor
or a nurse. I just freak out when it comes
to that kind of stuff, blood, anything, you name it.
Loved watching Grey's Anatomy, don't love being in the situation
if that makes sense. Like I truly am just not
that kind of person that enjoys those things. And I'm
not saying people do enjoy those things, but I just
I don't like being in that environment. Like I don't
like it at all. It freaks me the fuck out.
So I was really scared going to that appointment. I
did not want to do it whatsoever. But I just
kept thinking to myself and like, you are going to
feel so much better mentally, and I do. Just going
through that appointment getting the results back, feeling so good
knowing that everything came back great.
Speaker 2: I am healthy.
Speaker 1: I got my PAP test results back, which came back
great as well. Like I'm feeling really good now mentally
going into like trying to conceive with my husband because
I know all the results I came back.
Speaker 2: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just feel like also for yourself, like even if
you aren't trying to conceive, and you just like want
to know if you're healthy or not and just kind
of get that peace of mind of knowing that you
are a healthy individual and that everything you're doing is
right and you don't need to stress about it. I
just really want to encourage you to face your fears
if you're like me, and just push through those appointments,
because I know it's not fun. Trust me, I didn't
want to do it. I didn't want to do the
blood work. I didn't want to do you know, the.
Speaker 2: Pop test or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But I'm so happy I did it and the results
came back so positively, and I'm so so relieved, and
I feel really really good and proud of myself for just.
Speaker 2: Kind of getting through that.
Speaker 1: Now, the next step for us is my husband going
to his doctor's appointment. So he has a doctor's appointment,
I think it's next week for him, and then we
both booked dentist appointments that are in February, so we
have a dental cleaning that we're doing. So that kind
of just like gets all the medical appointments over with.
We don't need to stress about it, like get it done,
get it over with, and we can kind of move
on from that. So that's kind of what we're doing
for appointment wise, to prep ourselves for TTC, and then
all the other things we're kind of doing is just
eating better. So we're really trying to follow a healthy diet,
just eating specific foods that are like really really good
for fertility. I've been reading a book which I've talked
about i think here on the podcast before. It's called
Real Food for Fertility.
Speaker 2: I'm learning so much.
Speaker 1: I'm almost done the book. Actually, I'm more than halfway through.
It's a large book, okay, I'm I'm like on page
three hundred and ten, I think. Anyways, it's taken me
a while to read, just because I'm not reading every
single day. I'm reading like every second day on my
treadmill for forty minutes. But we're very close to finishing
this book. But it's been very educational for someone who
knows nothing about fertility and just seeing how food plays
such a big impact and just certain foods that you
can eat that can really help you out is really beneficial.
So I don't want to tell you guys, like, oh,
you should eat this, you should eat that. Like I
am not a medical expert or a nutritionus at all,
but if you guys want to learn about.
Speaker 2: The education around food when it.
Speaker 1: Comes to fertility, highly recommend getting that book. It's been
very very informative and I've really really enjoyed reading it
just kind of learning about you know, women's bodies and
fertility and men's sperm and all that jazz. And then
the final thing for prepping for pregnancy is that my
husband and I have decided to cut alcohol out completely.
We are both not drinking. And I had my first
outing last weekend or this past weekend. Sorry, it was
my girlfriend's thirtieth and I.
Speaker 2: Did not drink.
Speaker 1: I was sober the entire time, and guys, I still
had fun. I still had a good time. You don't
need to have an alcoholic beverage to have a good time.
So I had a mocktail too, mocktails actually, and then
some water and had a really fun time. And it
was funny because my girlfriend was also not drinking as well,
so it was kind of fun that we could just
like drink mocktails together and people didn't care. No one
judged us. If anything, everyone was like super supportive. And
you know, it's good to have friends like that, because
if you have friends that are like making fun of
you for not drinking, like why are they your friends?
Like that's not a true friend. A true friend would
be there to support you and your own decision. Again,
this is something that's pretty extreme, like not everybody does
this before prepping for pregnancy. This is not something you
have to do, and everything that I'm saying you do
not have to do if you're someone like me who's
prepping for pregnancy. But these are just things that I'm
doing that I want to do for my future self
and for my future baby. And this is just something
that I wanted to do for myself and my husband
wanted to do. So we're very much treating this as
a team thing where it's like, in order for this
baby to happen, it's a two man straight, you know
what I mean, Like both of us have to do
our part and you know, do what we can for
our future child. So yeah, that's kind of what we're
doing right now. And I kind of just wanted to
give an update here on the podcast about that, just
because I know there's some girls who are in a
similar situation like me, or you know, you guys might
not be, but I just thought it would be informative
to kind of just share things that I'm doing and
my husband is doing to prepare ourselves for this next journey.
But that's kind of all the updates that I wanted
to share with you guys. I don't really have much
else happening right now. I think those are probably the
three things or four things.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 1: I kind of chatted about like my trip to Costa Rica,
my back injury, my house, and then my whole prepping
for pregnancy journey. So that is today's episode. I hope
you guys enjoyed this girl Chat episode. Again, I feel
like I don't do these episodes too often, but I
do love to throw them in there once in a
while just kind of catch up with you guys and yeah,
just chat about things that are going on. So I
hope you guys enjoyed this episode. If you're new, definitely

but we're gonna do a conversation episode of how our
