We are taking the holidays off. Everybody needs a break. I don't know about you, but it's felt more intense this year. I don't know why. It feels in many ways that work is more crazy now because maybe it's like delayed coming off the pandemic. There's just more going on. But everyone I know is a chicken without a head, and I just want to breathe. I really want to breathe.
I want to be present, I want to connect. I want to be present and create beautiful memories with my daughter, and I want to be in the air, in the mountains, snowboarding, feeling free, breathing. I hope I don't blow up like a tick like last year, because I don't do well in the altitude and it's progressively gotten worse, and it's
my favorite place. So people may say to me, why the hell would you go there when you had a bad reaction last year, because I love it so much and my daughter loves it and I've had so many memories there. So I'm getting on this medication and hoping it will help. But I'm going on a romantic vacation with Paul. For part of the trip, I'm going to be home with my daughter in the Hampton's for part of the trip. It's really going to be a mixed
holiday and I'm excited. I feel like I've worked really hard. It's been a really interesting year. My career has taken such an incredible turn. This podcast has given me so much this year, so I thank you so much. It's been really rewarding to be able to say things I want to say, have conversations I want to have, give people a vehicle and a platform to use their voice.
Many people are not heard and for different reasons. There are many people that came on here that get to sort of speak in sound bites or just you know, talk in a quick social media video, but they haven't really had an in depth conversation about things they're going through. So I love that. I love talking to entrepreneurs that
can help give you advice. I love laughing. I like using The Housewives as a vehicle for different life lessons and just talking about a crazy, ridiculous show to amusing people. Comedians I've had a fun time with. I've met so many people like I know people I didn't know. I didn't know Brian Austin Green, I didn't really know Jenny Garth. I didn't know Jenny McCarthy. Like so many people I talked to for a longer period, Joel McHale comes to mind.
Like that I just really found fascinating. I was able to help a girl, Rachel, who went through a terrible time. I reconnected with Jill. I had a bunch of laughs with Nannie and did something quite scary for the both of us that ended up working out well. I was social. I had a big iHeart dinner, so this was really great for me. Also just meeting so many different people and being proud of this podcast. It's grown. It's been
a smash, blowout success. We were on a top ten list recently for top ten podcasts that are flying, which is amazing, Like pot Ones to watch. That was amazing. There are millions of podcasts. We went to number one this year in all podcasts. I mean, it was really interesting and fun and I'm working really hard, but it's exactly what I like doing. I left Reality TV to do exactly what I wanted and provide content to the people, which is exactly what we've done. So that was a
great success. Britton came on and we did a mom Embarrassment podcast and last night, Brynn was saying to me that I say to her, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, if someone falls on television, I tell Brince she has to be so careful about whatever that person fell from. If I stub my toe and start screaming, I tell Brynn it's so dangerous and she has to be careful. She was laughing like how embarrassed? Like nothing,
nothing that happens in a day. Do I not end up saying back to Brynn, like you have to be careful when it wasn't even her that did it and she was crying. I was like, we have to do that. On the podcast the mom embarrassed and has been very serious. Uh with brinn embarrassment. My social media, I became the accidental influencer. It became a real thing. It became like a real business, and it was it's been so fun to be like the trusted beauty and food and coconut
cake and mocktail reviewer. My mingle mocktails launch this year with me Forever Young launched. I mean, it was a crazy, amazing year. I made a turnaround and liking the way that the Kardashians turned their lives around. I think they went a little more quiet. They weren't so in your face all the time. I think they made some changes. I like single Kim, I made a turnaround when Megan and Harry went quiet because they weren't just trying to
be in the media all the time. They like you know, went quiet, and so I went quiet because that was nice. The Reality Reckoning, you know, broke through and made changes in the entertainment industry. We made changes as a result of this podcast. We made changes in reality television. Indisputably, there have been changes that have been mandated by the Powers that be in the way that alcohol and substance abuse is treated on the show and alcohol consumption is monitored.
Emotional well being and mental health has been something that has been focused on now in entertainment as a result of The Reality Reckoning. A lot went down. A lot went down.
