Hey, there. We're looking for couples to write into Dear Chelsea for a very special episode that's coming up next season. So if you're a couple or a throutle who wanted to call in and get advice together, go ahead and write into Dear Chelsea Project at gmail dot com to get your questions answered. Hi, everybody, it's Chelsea and Catherine from what is the name of this podcast? Catherine, it
is Dear Chelsea. I've been clearing my throat for about four and a half months, so I am going to have to get a esophagus X ray esophageal X ray to find out what the fund is in my throat. It's probably a colonel of cannabis anyway. Actually, it's really funny. My dad. This is not really funny. It's just a weird story in my family. My dad once inhaled a kernel of popcorn into his lung and he did that
for a while, so hopefully it's not popcorn. I had to get like scoped out, and the doctor like almost gave up. He's like, I don't see. He's like, I know there is popcorn in my lung. You know that's funny because I I try not to smoke weed that much anymore because of this, and I think it's weed related, which it's not. I still have some sort of acid reflux or anyway, I smoked a little joint last night
when Joe and I got home from Malibu. We actually went to go see John Lovett's who was the person who introduced Joe and me like seventeen years ago, and he's been taking credit for our romance ever since. So I said we should invite him to know Boo Malibu, which is where we had some dinner, and he was very excited to be out. Nice yea, that's very Yeah. I think we're all excited to be out after two years.
This is a little mini episode because we are on hiatus for three weeks, but I just want we have an update from some we do, from someone who has called into the show, and we wanted to share that with you guys. Yes, it's really exciting. This one is from Sarah. She wrote in a while back. She was having trouble taking compliments about the fact that she had adopted a couple of kids and was when we talked
to her in the protom adopting a new one. She said, I've been able to use the advice Chelsea gave me when given compliments about my kids, and it's been great to have something deeper than thank you to say in return. One conversation I was not expecting to have was with my youngest, who was just recently adopted. It was about a month after Chelsea and I spoke, and me and
my little were downstairs picking up his toys. He told me that he often thinks about how lucky and grateful he is to have found our family, and how he sometimes worries that he's only in our lives because COVID happened and we were home anyway. With a piece of my heart breaking inside, I thought about what to respond with, and then Chelsea's advice hit me. I said to him, I love that you're grateful for us, and you need
to know we're grateful for you too. You are here because you are my purpose, and I was put on this earth to share your joy and to help you share yours. He looked at me and his eyes got so big, and he said, while I've never been anyone's purpose before, does that mean we're meant to be? Not just that we were forced be? As we talked, I thought more about our conversation and said, it's great for me to be able to be good at something, and I'm so happy that you think I'm good at being
your mom. Oh my god, what a tear girl. That conversation with him will never leave my heart. And I felt like I was armed with the best thing to say because of my talk with Chelsea. This was not the application I expected to use her advice in, but it sure was an awesome one. I cannot wait to see her on August thirteen in Calgary. I'll be the girl in the head to toe, ask Chelsea Merch, laughing my ass off. I'm sure. Thanks again for reaching out
and looking forward to chatting, asked Chelsea. So, I mean, honestly, you had me with your letter and then you know we had to clarify at the beginning. I love it. I love it. Oh my god, that was so sweet. What an impact everybody can have, you know, like anyone who's listening, you can have an impact on somebody just by like sitting with them and listening to them and giving them advice or like giving them strength, you know, to move on in the direction of like being empowered
or sitting in your power like, what are you doing? Well? Recognize it and and say it, you know, and spread it, spread it. Uh. Speaking of dates, I'm coming to Louisville Thursday night this week. This is Thursday, Louisville, Kentucky. Friday night is St. Louis, Missouri, and then Saturday and Sunday night, I'm in Kansas City at the Uptown Theater. So I hope you guys are all coming.
