Intro

Introduction: Beginnings and Intentions

00:01:08
Speaker
All right, welcome to the first episode of Awake and Alive. Woo. Katie, I don't know about you, but I've never done a podcast. I have been a guest on a podcast before, but this is my first time ever putting my own name out there. ah So I'm super excited about this and super nervous. I am too. I hope that i hope that we can edit out things like when we mess up. Would we hit record prematurely? Maybe. Maybe. But that's OK. We're learning as we go. We're learning as we go. And that's kind of what this is all about. I agree. To to your point, like this is this is just for fun. This is just ah for us to fuck around and find out. Maybe that's what we should kind of list. Fuck around and find out. That is a frequent quote of mine.
00:02:05
Speaker
one of my life models. So you've you've done it a lot. So I'm really proud of you. Thank you.

Sydney's Life Journey

00:02:11
Speaker
I guess that kind of leads us into the first order of business introductions where yes, we'll tell each other how we fucked around and found out in life and what our lives look like now. Lead the fucking way sister. i I'm here for it. Well, my name is Sydney and I am a early 30 something woman living in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
00:02:40
Speaker
um It sounds so like boring when I say it that way because you laugh because you know that my life has taken a lot of crazy turns. So I guess I'll start from the beginning. I am from Texas and I grew up there um pretty much all my life. until 2018. I grew up mostly in the Fort Worth area, and I was homeschooled the first five years of school, kindergarten through fourth grade, repeated fourth grade in public school in a small town outside of Fort Worth, and graduated and went to Texas A and&M University, which is where I met Katie.
00:03:21
Speaker
whoop, we were in the same sorority. That is how we met. I graduated from college with a degree in Spanish and no idea what I wanted to do. So what do you do when you don't know what to do? You become a teacher like both of your grandmothers. I went back to Fort Worth and I became a high school ESL teacher. I worked in Fort Worth for three years until 2018. I decided that I was young and single and childless and needed to spice up my life a little bit. So I packed up my dog and my cat and a U-Haul and I moved to Nashville, Tennessee.
00:04:03
Speaker
I lived there for just under four years. um For most of that, I was in a significant relationship that ended when I poured gasoline all over it and took a match to it.
00:04:20
Speaker
and just blew up my own life because quarter life crisis, so I don't know what we call it, Saturn return. So with nowhere to go, I packed up my dog and my cat in and a U-Haul and I went to Washington DC. After seven years of being a high school yeah ESL teacher, I quit and got a job as a corporate girlie for a mega healthcare care company here in the US. I work for their physical security department, making all of their training and campaign materials, but DC is not the place for me. I moved there because my best friend was there and I had nowhere else to go, but
00:05:02
Speaker
I kept looking for another opportunity and ah one of my best friends sent me a TikTok for Tulsa Remote, which if you guys have not heard of Tulsa Remote, it is a program not through the city of Tulsa, it's through a generous benefactor. And the goal is to bring in remote workers and our remote worker salaries to Tulsa in order to plug into the community and plug into the economic growth. And the incentive is they give you $10,000. She'll live there for one year. So of course I was like, yeah, I'm going to move back closer to family in Texas and I'm going to get 10 grand to do it. um And so I've been living here since August and absolutely love it. And that was the third time that I've packed my dog and my cat up in a U-Haul and drove across the country to move. And I hope it's the last time for a while.
00:06:02
Speaker
So that's my life story. I don't know if we're going to use all of that. But um when I'm not moving across the country, um I love my life here in Tulsa. I spend a lot of time alone, but I get to do fun things and hobbies with that time, like make a podcast with my friend. And I also do volunteer work in the community and through my new church. I just joined. I'm trying to get as plugged in as possible. And I've made some really great friends here.
00:06:44
Speaker
And it's it's been fun. the The most fun has been my spiritual journey, which we'll talk about more extensively in a future episode. But that's kind of what prompted this this endeavor. um So without further ado, I've now talked to everyone's ear off. It's Katie's turn.

Katie's Life Journey

00:07:07
Speaker
Thank you so much for that, Sydney. I love getting to know you a little bit better every time. um Hello, my name is Katie. um I am from the great state of Texas, specifically the Houston area. um I grew up with my siblings and my parents um and had a pretty great childhood And then my older brother passed away when I was 10, which kind of blew up my family and didn't just really change my trajectory in life, not to get super deep into it, but really changed my trajectory in life. And I really think that's kind of where my spiritual journey started. um Once you learn about death, you kind of figure out what's past that.
00:07:54
Speaker
so I kept going on. I also went to to Texas A&M University where I met my beloved Sydney um and we were in the same sorority together until I fell pregnant at 19 years old um and the sorority promptly asked me to leave because that was a not a good look for the brand.
00:08:21
Speaker
And I had my oldest child and when I was 20 years old, newly 20 years old, and I was married at the time um to my now ex-partner. After I graduated from A and&M, ah He and I and our child moved to San Angelo, Texas, where I knew no body and nothing um and was extremely isolated and thought, h it you know, it'd be a good idea. Let's have another kid. So we had another kid.
00:08:53
Speaker
And for anybody listening, two kids in two years is a great way to figure out what you're made of because you're really going to be tested through those two years. um And so I had two kids in two years and knew nobody, tried to really get plugged in with the community out there. It was a really difficult community to get plugged into because it is predominantly farmers and military families. And so they each have their own kind of c click that they're a part of, they have their own communities that they're a part of. So somebody who's kind of in the middle and as ah especially as a young parent, it was very difficult to kind of find my people out there. um That relationship unraveled very quickly due to the stress of everything there. And um we are now excellent co-parents together um and have a great relationship.
00:09:43
Speaker
as co-parents. So it is possible. I believe in it. um While I was in San Angelo, I learned how to be a doula. I thought I was going to become a nurse midwife. I was ah fascinated with birth and the birthing process and being a support for birthing people. um And I still love it. So if any birth nerds are out there, shoot me a message. I love it. And when we divorced, I moved back home to Houston, Texas to lick my wounds, moved in with my dad, shout out dad, um who let me move back in with him with two children under the age of three.
00:10:23
Speaker
um and was just trying to figure out my life's path and and ended up moving to Austin, Texas. Because why not? That sounded like a great idea at the time. Met my now current partner in Austin, Texas. And we got together. Everything moved really, really quickly. We were married and then ah shortly after welcomed my third child um and my final child. I will say it on the podcast for future reference. My final child was born.
00:10:59
Speaker
shortly after we were married and um I really feel like each one of my kids has been a life lesson that I was supposed to learn um that were put into my life in divine timing and I feel like that was another spiritual awakening for me was ah parenthood because you really get pushed beyond your bounds multiple times a day and and ah have nowhere else to look but the stars for answers. So you kind of just figure out what you're made of in those moments. um Now we live back in Houston, Texas. We actually just bought my childhood home this year um from my father.
00:11:40
Speaker
And now we are renovating it and living here. And I do witchy stuff on the weekends and at night when my neighbors aren't watching. So it's a great way to live. I'm super excited

Podcast Inspirations and Goals

00:11:53
Speaker
about this podcast. When Sydney brought out this idea, I was like, yes, absolutely, let's do this. um I moonlight as a tarot reader and Reiki healer. um And I'm really excited to be able to talk more about these things with Sydney and our listeners. So thank you, Sydney. Well, I'm just so grateful that you decided to do it with me. um Because yeah, i like I had been thinking about doing it, um which that kind of message came in divine timing and came through divine guidance.
00:12:30
Speaker
um i For all the listeners, one of my secret hobbies is that I um scroll TikTok a lot. and But it's always to learn something, sometimes for Taylor Swift entertainment content, but a lot of it is either learning about myself or learning about the world or relationships or different things. um So a message came.
00:13:02
Speaker
um that I was supposed to create something. It didn't really matter what I created, I just was supposed to do some kind of creation. And I was like, well, what do I create? It's like, I i have a lot of um skills, artistic skills, communication skills. um And then finally, I saw this one that was like, just do it. Just make the podcast. And I was like, I don't even really listen to podcasts. What are you talking about? Make the podcast. But it clicked. It clicked. I was like, oh, i should my hobby should just be yapping.
00:13:40
Speaker
um Which is funny because it made a lot of sense inside because when I think about like something, a secret that I haven't really told very many people but I'm about to tell the world is that a game that I used to kind of play in my head as a child is I would pretend that I was on a talk show ah and someone was interviewing me as like a famous person. And like I never thought really anything of it until then I was like, oh, yeah, that sounds like fun. Just like being famous from talking. That sounds great. So um started by myself, but decided it would be way more fun with a friend. Who's also a certified yapper that you thought of. Yes, exactly.
00:14:39
Speaker
Well, I think that's great. I think that now ah they know a little bit more about us and a little bit about what we want this podcast to be, kind of this haven for the esoteric and astrological and mystical and magical and everything in between.

Tarot and Astrology

00:14:55
Speaker
um I'm going to talk about the card that I pulled for us this evening. um So we are a firm believer, and if you don't have the answers, pull some cards. So ah for our first podcast, our inaugural episode, we were like, what are we doing? So we pulled the cards and tonight we're using the Angel Guide Oracle.
00:15:21
Speaker
by Kyle Gray, artwork by Jennifer Hockyard. It's a beautiful deck. I just pulled picked it up at Half Price Books. I'm very excited about it. um And the card that I picked out, or really that was picked out for me, shot out of the deck, um is honesty and communication. And I'm just going to read the extended message for honesty and communication from the book. You are being given an opportunity to speak your truth. You have reached a point on your journey where you must be honest with yourself and all those around you. If you are holding anything in or you feel you need to share something in order to feel free, know that your Angel Guide is encouraging you to act on this now.
00:16:04
Speaker
When you share your feelings and speak truthfully, you draw the support and light of the universe into your heart. If you are in a challenging position and find it difficult communicating what is in your heart, call in angels and spirit guides and ask them to support you. They want you to know that when you speak with honesty, you attract experiences that lovingly reflect who you really are.
00:16:27
Speaker
How does that even happen? I love magic so much, man. I know, me too. How does anyone live without it? Because I mean, that's the perfect card to shoot out. It's the perfect card to shoot out for our podcast. It's the perfect card to shoot out for the New Moon in Gemini. You're just talking about how Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Can you talk a little bit more about that as our resident astrolaut astrologer? Yeah, so um yeah, the sign of Gemini is represented by um the sign of the twins. And it's its ruler is Mercury, which is the planet of ah movement, of communication, of um travel.
00:17:14
Speaker
And so um for me, the new moon, I'm very future focused. So for me, it's... What do I want to set my intention on for the next six months? So Mercury is um the ruler of two signs actually in the zodiac. Did you know that Katie? I did not know that. Yeah, so Mercury rules Gemini, which is the current sign right now where the Sun is in Gemini, um but it also rules Virgo.
00:17:59
Speaker
so um With Mercury in Gemini, it's going to be very much like like intellectual communication, swift communication. um If you have a natal Mercury in Gemini, you're probably the most annoying person in the entire world, but we have to love you. i I'm always going to joke about Gemini placements just because of like the bad rap that they get. um It is different from my jokes about Scorpio placements, which are um very personal and come deep from the heart.
00:18:42
Speaker
um but Shout out my Scorpio Jupiter. Well, I will say, um And this is a day job in conversation because I know I've told other people this before. So everything from like, so Jupiter changes signs every 13 ish months. So people who were born within like 13 months of you ish are going to also be Jupiter and Scorpio. And from there, it it gets even more like generational. That's like your little like, those are like your classmates. And then it gets my cohort. Yeah, your cohort gets bigger. And then with like Pluto and Scorpio, that's just millennials.
00:19:33
Speaker
um But yes, I, I'm mostly talking about sons. My Mercury is in Scorpio. So um basically, I'm a bitch.
00:19:52
Speaker
No, I'm just a really intense communicator. which Which is why we have a podcast. Why we have a podcast and that it it goes really well with my autism.
00:20:10
Speaker
At least, at least I have a sense of humor. so This is true. This is true. Yeah. And then, um, like I was saying, so, so, um, if you have a natal mercury in Gemma, my God help us, but you are going to be that intellectualizer. You probably think out loud, um, which I'm sure is really fun for everyone around you. And, um,
00:20:40
Speaker
I should say something nice. You guys are really, really smart. and
00:20:47
Speaker
very good um So Virgo is um The is also very intellectual, but is is a more kind of like practical intellectual. um My moon is in Virgo. um So to speak to the point of Virgo's, we do overanalyze everything. And yeah Katie, ah your your ascendant, ascendant is Virgo.
00:21:20
Speaker
So we overlook everything. The anxiety is through the roof. Shadow anxiety attacks. Well, at least least we're smart. Yay. Not just intellectual. We're actually smart. like We ground our intellect into reality. We love that. We love to see it. Yeah. Let me ask you, Katie, um as someone with ah with a prominent Virgo placement, are you a clean Virgo or a dirty Virgo? Oh, that is a great question. Um, and I do believe that my answer is situational because I myself think that I am a clean Virgo, but I live in a house populated with a lot of little people. So upon first glance, I might look like a dirty Virgo. You get a pass because you have little ones. Yes. But me as a person, clean Virgo. Yeah. Fair.
00:22:22
Speaker
I mean, it's it's really either way. And like I have known Virgo suns, Virgo moons, Virgo risings in all states. Like that's why I ask because it's like you're either one or you're the other. um Yeah. Sydney loves the environment of a clean Virgo. ah Sydney today paid someone to clean her apartment. and
00:22:57
Speaker
So yeah. I love that. I love that. I'm a lot better than I used to be. And a lot of that came from having to like, hack my neurodivergent brain. So I will say I do okay for myself. Yeah, and I feel like that's kind of the vibe of the podcast is I'm better than I used to be. And this is why. Yeah, I'm better than I used to be because now I make the money to be able to pay someone to come once a month and like scrub. That's what it is. I can be like, I can be pretty tidy. And I can do decently clean. But I hate
00:23:37
Speaker
like cleaning, like actual cleaning, hate it. So if I can always outsource that, um, if you can outsource anything to make your life easier, I always recommend that. Yes. Is there a capitalism and privilege? Do it to your advantage.
00:24:01
Speaker
Well,
00:24:04
Speaker
Is it capitalism, though, to pay a hardworking individual for their service? Oh, no, I'm just saying. We have to pay money for everything. Oh, well, yes, that's that's society. I mean, yeah would you rather pay with fictitious money, or would you rather pay with goats and sheep? Goats and sheep, 100%. Goats and sheep. Gosh. How valuable. help If you could put a value on a goat or a sheep in in U.S. dollars in 2024, what would they be worth? I don't know. Let me Google that real quick.
00:24:49
Speaker
if
00:24:55
Speaker
and was outright fa mr to rate goodat
00:25:03
Speaker
The baby goats can vary anywhere between $100 and $900, depends on what you're looking for. That's it? I thought they'd be a lot. $900 for a goat? But you said between $100 and $900, right? Yes, but $900 is a lot. See, i'm like my brain went more to like $100, and I was like, that's that's not worth very much at all. I will, to to to the woman who cleaned my house today, I will trade you a goat for your services. That's an equal exchange. Okay. I'm sure that's what she wants to get. I'm sure we're keeping this in the podcast.
00:25:52
Speaker
ah
00:25:55
Speaker
i by
00:26:02
Speaker
Okay, so all this to say, when we're talking about Gemini, we're talking about Mercury, which means we're talking about communication. Yes. And um it is important to note that not only are we talking about the new moon and Gemini, and We are also talking about the fact that the sun and Mercury and Venus and Jupiter are also all currently in Gemini. So um whichever house in astrology that Gemini falls in for you is going to be really heavily emphasized right now. um Do you know off the top of your head what that is, Katie?
00:26:52
Speaker
I do my Gemini is in my 10th house. Okay, with my Mars. So, and you're you said your is that with your you said your natal Mars is is in Gemini. Okay, so in your 10th house. So h um work, career, spotlight, how you are perceived is is in the spotlight by shown by all of these planets just right down on you. And um with your Mars, the planet of action and the planet of energy, um it's it's just going to shine that sunbeam right down on that
00:27:40
Speaker
increase of will, that increase of of forward momentum. I think that's really appropriate for this podcast. Absolutely. Absolutely. And i and I'm looking forward to the energy boost that the stars have promised me during this time. Yeah. I am i do not have any planets in Gemini. I have my south node, but um besides that, um Gemini is my second house of stability, of security, of finances. So I'm hoping that we get rich off of this podcast. Rich and famous, that's what that's your 10th house famous, my second house rich. Everyone go stream our podcasts so we can get rich and famous and have energy. Yes. Shameless plug.
00:28:39
Speaker
um We do have a Buy Me a Coffee. If you would like to freely contribute to um our little side hustle here, we do not have sponsors and we're going to be very selective about our sponsors. so um If you would like to support us directly, then please buy us a coffee. It could be $1, it could be $5, it could be $10, it could be however much you feel. um thats That's our shameless um help us become rich and famous plug. And back to our regularly scheduled programming.

New Moon Rituals and Communication

00:29:18
Speaker
um so kaie Let's transition from astrology now into more of the witchy side of things, talking about what the new moon moon and Gemini means for our practice.
00:29:36
Speaker
Okay. Perfect. I love this. So I was just doing some research because I like to be like fully invested in each new moon. I love the new moon. I don't know what it is about full moons, but your girl be tired on full moons. I can't do anything like it. Just the waning energy zaps me out, but new moons. I'm up and I'm ready. So. I was doing research because Gemini is all about communication and thinking about like new moon rituals that we can do. I personally like to make moon water. I know a lot of people make moon water during full moons, um but I like to make my moon water during new moons because then I feel like it's like full of my manifestations and it helps remind me of like what I'm working towards every day.
00:30:22
Speaker
I just put a little bit in my coffee every morning and I'm like, ah, blessed, love it, personal personal, like magic in my cup. I love it. um Something else that I like to do is journal a lot, which doesn't sound like witchcraft, but it's a hundred percent is. um So the new moon in Gemini is particularly potent about, since it's about communication, written communication about what your intentions are for this lunar cycle um and what you're trying to achieve during this lunar cycle and then communicating with like spirit or a creative activity that like aligns with your soul um just freely thinking on the page
00:31:10
Speaker
um letting yourself kind of express whatever's inside of you and kind of get it out in like this really kinesthetic way, I feel like is a really great ritual for this New Moon. um And to go with that, we have a little prompt for our New Moon journal. um So the prompt is, how are you communicating your needs with others? And how are you communicating your needs with yourself? I like that. And that's, that's hard to do to, yeah first of all, to figure out what your needs are, much less who to communicate them to and in what way, and then the unknown of what response you're going to get.
00:32:07
Speaker
Yeah, I think that something that something that I struggle with as a former people pleaser is communicating my needs at all because sometimes the way that we were raised or the people around us conditioned us to make us feel that communicating our needs is selfish. And in reality, a closed mouth don't eat. you have to be able to You have to be able to say, hey, this is what I need to be successful. This is what I need to be happy. This is what I need to be fulfilled. This is what I need to be safe.
00:32:46
Speaker
you know Communicating your needs is the base form of meeting those needs.

Personal Growth and Support Systems

00:32:56
Speaker
And as two former teachers, ah Maslow's hierarchy of needs is ever prominent in our brain. Throw a little psychology in there. um You cannot meet others' needs until your needs are met. And if you try to do so, you're going to be burnt out. So I think it's really important and a form of self-love and self-care to ask for what you need from others and also show up for yourself and provide for yourself what you may need.
00:33:26
Speaker
Yeah. ah So when we're recording this, you know, we're in the middle of of May, which is peak graduation, end of the year season. And I realized today that I've been suffering really bad from, um you know, I kept thinking like, gosh, I'm just so depressed, but I'm not like sad about anything. Like my life is great. What is going on? I just have senioritis. but my boss noticed and called me out on it today. um She's like, yeah, i hear team I see your team's icon go yellow a lot. Are you okay? But like, I actually kind of am struggling a little bit and not, you know, senioritis jokes aside, um there's been stuff going on in my personal life that's been really difficult and in work life too.
00:34:24
Speaker
Um, and I've kind of, you know, taken a step back as I could and checked out a little bit. Um, and she's the kind of boss who is very loving and supportive and she's not micromanagy, but she is also like, I want you to, you know, be better. and go you know rise up and become a leader. um So she asked me like, how can I help you do that? What do you need? she you know she Of course she was like, do you need EAP services? I was like, no, I you know i have someone that I'm starting to see. um But sometimes I feel like we don't even know what we need.
00:35:10
Speaker
Um, she was like, I don't really know what you need unless, you know, you tell me, do you need more structure? And I was like, you know, I think I might need a little more structure. Sometimes it helps to have people who have ideas because sometimes you're just, things are hard and you know, you need support, but you don't always know what it looks like. And how can you ask if you don't know? Absolutely and I think that this is where the idea of meditation and journaling and just spending time with yourself kind of comes in. Where you're talking about like you don't know what you need and I feel like a lot of times we don't know what we need because we're so disconnected from ourselves and not like the self that like we project to others but like the true self like what we who we truly are
00:36:05
Speaker
um I think that you only really understand that and find that when you spend actual time with yourself. um And I know that we both spend a lot of time with ourselves and it's something that we have to come deep at night, deep at night after bedtime. But I think that I think that it is a continual process and commitment to yourself that you have to show up for yourself. Even when you don't have the right words to express and communicate with your needs, you acknowledging, hey, there is something wrong is the first step to getting that need met. So good job. Okay.
00:36:50
Speaker
Sometimes it it helps for someone else to to like recognize it in you. That's something that I often struggle with is feeling like I'm not seen and heard. And so for someone to see me and hear me was huge. I love my boss. Shout out. Shout out good bosses. I'll be calling her Biggie Smalls on the podcast because um her dog's name is Biggie Smalls. He's a Pomeranian and she's obsessed with him. and I love that. Shout out Biggie Smalls. Shout out Biggie Smalls.
00:37:39
Speaker
Well, I think we've covered all the topics that we had listed out for our first inaugural podcast.

Podcast Intentions and Wrap-Up

00:37:47
Speaker
It's kind of unreal. I feel like this is giving our listeners a really clear picture of kind of how we go. Like, there's a lot of jokes, right? There's a lot of chitchat. There's a lot of laughter. But um at the root of this is just about how to be healthier people. and have healthier relationships with ourselves and others. And even if you are not here for all of the astrology and new and rituals and tarot and all of that, there's a little something in there for everyone, I feel like.
00:38:27
Speaker
yeah we kind of want everyone to have a seat at the table. So you're welcome here no matter who you are. um And with that, you can find us at at Awaken a Live Pod on Instagram. You can find me individually at cards with Katie in case you're needing a personal tarot reading. Let me plug myself there for just a minute. I guess I'll plug myself too for I don't know if you just think I'm cool. It's at silly vested. And we'll put all this in the description for the podcast as well. Yeah, for sure. um So as far as as future episodes, our plan is to release weekly on Thursdays.
00:39:19
Speaker
um because today is Thursday and that sounds like a sounded like a really good idea to have an end of the week podcast. And so many of them are beginning of the week podcasts. Yeah. And it's perfect to launch something new on the new moon. Exactly. So for so our intentions for the podcast, um let's end on that and then we'll do our cards of the week. Okay. Let me get my deck. And 10, my intention for the podcast with the new mood and gentlemen, I, is that, um, I think I'm thinking back to the Oracle car, the Idra at the beginning, which was about honest communication and really, um, showing up as my authentic self and sharing my truth in hopes of

helping people um become better humans and maybe even grow in their spirituality. So that um when this new moon coldens here in six months, I'm really excited to see how this has grown.
00:40:35
Speaker
Yes, very excited to see how this grows. All right, we've got some interesting cards this evening. um
00:40:46
Speaker
So we'll see how it goes. So the first card that we have that I pulled that actually shot out of the deck um as I was opening the deck up, I'm using the Midnight Magic deck. um It's mushrooms and I felt like it was appropriate because it's all mystical and midnight. So the first card that popped out was the seven of cups, which talks about opportunities, wishful thinking and choices. So what choices are you facing this week? Where can you add a little wishful thinking into your routine and be on the lookout for any opportunities that fall into your lap because you never know what could happen when you're looking for it.
00:41:30
Speaker
Then the next card that we have is the Four of Swords. So the Four of Swords talks about rest and relaxation and regeneration. Make sure that you're taking time, like we were talking about with our new moon manifestations um and then in rituals, make sure that you're taking time to rest, to recharge, to take care of yourself, to check in with yourself, everything that you need to be a better you. And then the last one I got was Six of Pentacles in Reverse. um The Six of Pentacles in Reverse talks about self-care. So again, reiterating that message of take care of yourself. Don't just worry about other people. Don't worry about one-sided charity. Make sure that you are receiving as well as giving. So those are the cards for the week, friends. I love it. Make sure that you are communicating
00:42:25
Speaker
your your needs and you don't have to do everything alone. I think that to me that's um sometimes good self-care too, is realizing you can't do it all by yourself. Absolutely not. You have to have friends. You got to have people. That's true. And now we have our our weekly catch-up time where we just get to nerd out. And I'm so looking forward to to continuing to do this with you. I know. I'm so excited. This was so much fun. All right. So signing off, this is Sydney. This is Kani. All right. See y'all next week.
