I'm not a girl, not yet a woman...

 Hey friends! 

So there I was, standing in my Strawberry Shortcake sweat pants and my Strawberry Shortcake hoodie and my Strawberry Shortcake socks... and if in your mind you are picturing a small child, you would be wrong. This was me a few days ago. As I glanced down at my outfit.. all the way to my toes.. all I could think was... is this really what 41 looks like???

Not the actual outfit, this has an *Nsync tshirt

I think back to when I was younger and what I imagined people in their forties dressed like. I think about what my parents wore, what my friends' parents wore, and what *real adults* wore. And this is never what I pictured.

Welcome to my life!

Hello, dear friends (well, soon to be friends)! I've been staring at this blank screen for a bit now trying to figure out where to start. What should I say? How much sharing is too much? What would they want to know? Is anyone even going to read this??

*sigh*

That's my overthinking and insecurity at play again. Both things I'm sure we'll discuss as we embark on this journey together. 

So, maybe we'll start with a few questions. Why a podcast? And why now?
