KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. The Birth of Infusion Wear

[04:13 – 05:59]

• Lydia recounts being diagnosed with MS 13 years prior and the cold hospital environments she endured during infusions.
• She was inspired after seeing an expensive adaptive sweatshirt and decided to make her own with the help of a seamstress for just $55.
• Realizing the need for affordable, accessible adaptive wear, she involved her family to launch Infusion Wear.

Quote:
“I had just been laid off from my job of ten and a half years... I thought, I can do this... My husband and I used to work full time and go to school full time and raise our kids. So I had always been busy and at this point... we were fortunate enough to slow down. That's actually the time that this adaptive wear concept was introduced and that's when Infusion Wear was born.”
— Lydia [06:06]

2. Family-Run, Community Driven

[06:06 – 09:17]

• Lydia’s family, including her children and their partners, became central to the business—handling the website, modeling, and marketing (including TikTok and Instagram).
• Through their collaborative efforts, they not only launched Infusion Wear but instilled an understanding in the next generation about accessibility and inclusion.

Quote:
“I think it's so awesome that you really help with that and them to have understanding. You're teaching your kids early... This is how we really help handicapped.”
— Kathy Chester [08:22]

---

3. Broadening Impact—Community and Celebrity Connections

[09:17 – 10:31]

• Lydia shares that her oldest son, while at a golf tournament with their mobile coffee business, met George Lopez, who uses Infusion Wear during his own treatments.
• Kathy comments on the importance of spreading awareness so more people can benefit.

Quote:
“Lopez actually receives treatment. So he had a whole story and a whole experience with George Lopez receiving an Infusion Wear sweater. That was really cool.”
— Lydia [10:20]

---

4. Products, Design, and User Feedback

[12:45 – 16:57]

• Lydia explains the evolution of Infusion Wear’s products: from adult crewnecks with zippers for easy IV access to hoodies and children’s sweatshirts with plastic snaps (no metal for medical safety) and satin backing for extra comfort.
• The focus is on making products affordable, practical, and sensitive to medical needs.

Quote:
“On the chest port, we don't use zippers. We actually use snap buttons... they're plastic resin... And behind this there's a satin backing so that it's softer on their little chest area, especially because that's the area that always gets poked and prodded.”
— Lydia [13:58]

• Popularity of the pink children's sweatshirt noted.
• They’re expanding to adolescent sizes and considering seasonal options, like T-shirts for warmer climates.

---

5. Customer Stories & Emotional Resonance

[18:11 – 24:35]

• Lydia emphasizes how each sale is meaningful but bittersweet, especially when for children battling illness.
• She loves connecting directly, often messaging buyers to hear their stories—many buy for family members with conditions like leukemia or those on dialysis.

Quote:
“I'm so—I always get excited when we make a sale. However, it's always heartbreaking when we make a children’s [sweatshirt]. It just shouldn't be.”
— Lydia [13:13]

Quote:
“A lot of times I'll send a message and they'll respond back and say, oh, I'm looking for my granddaughter. She's two and a half, and we just found out she has leukemia... I like having that connection."
— Lydia [20:11]

---

6. Balancing Passions and Professional Life

[19:27 – 20:10]

• Lydia continues her day job alongside Infusion Wear, valuing the meaning and personal connection her business brings.
• She describes Infusion Wear as “priority,” not a full-time venture, but something that’s close to her heart.

---

7. The Power of Social Media and Word of Mouth

[21:56 – 23:55]

• Lydia notes customer feedback, requests for new colors, and heartwarming engagement through platforms like TikTok.
• Customer testimonials and peer-to-peer support are driving awareness.

Quote:
“She actually found us on TikTok... she asked how my infusions were. That's really cool.”
— Lydia [22:34]

---

8. Nurses’ Reactions and Expanding the Movement

[24:46 – 25:50]

• Nurses appreciate the sweatshirts, as they make IV access easier and comfort their patients.
• Lydia and Kathy brainstorm ways to bring Infusion Wear further into hospital and infusion center awareness.

Quote:
“I have had nurses look at me like, okay, you're wearing a sweatshirt, like, and then I'll just do the zipper... That's cool. We can work with this.”
— Lydia [25:42]

MEMORABLE MOMENTS & QUOTES

• On the emotional complexity of Infusion Wear’s mission:
  “It’s just so sad...but someone's going to be warm in, like, their hardest, darkest times.”

  — Lydia [08:03]

  “The most heartwarming is when people share: ‘Oh, I'm buying it for my mom or my dad has dialysis.’...I like having that connection.”

[Podcast Host]

I love it. Go ahead and grab it. Hello, it is another edition of Move it or Lose it. And today you may recognize this woman I interviewed, Lydia, like gosh, four years ago maybe. So today I've got Lydia from infusionware who I love dearly. She's been in my women's support group and I just love her. I just have such a strong connection with you, Lydia, with just how you've done things. I can very much just with that connection, just with my own life and how I started out with my gym and then just how I have done my stuff. It's just a very strong connection how you began Infusion, where and where you are now. I've got like the first edition of Infusion where, which is so cool. And I just loved how you started and you come so far and you were. You came on to my, my women's support group, which I loved and they loved you and you were able to explain where you started and where you are now, which was so, it's just so good to hear. And how your family's so involved, which I loved. I love that. And just where you were talking to in the very beginning and now where you come has just been so cool. And the stuff that you do, especially for all of us who, as you know, get infusions and it's so uncomfortable to gosh for me now having this, having Ms. And my other autoimmune diseases and all the infusions, you're kind of like, my right arm said left handed. I'm like, all right, good luck. Good luck to find a vein. And it's just so comforting to have something like this where it unzips and you're able to just. I know the new ones go from the bottom up, but you're able to put your arm out and just say, okay, go. And you don't have to worry. I can do my work in there and I don't have to worry about, you know, trying to get this up or being super uncomfortable, being tight. Exactly, exactly. It's just, it's so. It's just so comfortable. And it's like I'm there and I've had infusions for over 25 years. And I'm like, why did this just come out? Like, why wasn't this years ago? So talk to me a little bit about what got you started, how you even thought of this and what finally brought you to, you know, forget it. I'm going to do this on my own. I'm just going to go for it.

[Lydia]

Yeah. So I had been diagnosed with Ms. 13 years before.

[Podcast Host]

What, you have Ms. Too? You're in the club as well.

[Lydia]

The connection. We have a connection.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

Yeah. So I was diagnosed 13 years before this was even in like a thought. And I actually, adaptive work is not my original idea. I actually had come across an ad. Again, 13 years I've been receiving infusions. And when I had seen an ad for sweatshirt with this concept, and this is my first introduction to adaptive where I, I got so excited because I thought, oh my gosh, this is going to be life changing. Sitting in an infusion chair where hospitals are always cold, even on a summer day. Hospitals are really, really cold.

[Kathy Chester]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And so I went to purchase it. The price was outrageous. And then I thought, I think I can have this made. So I went to my local Michael store, I bought a little 4 inch zipper. I did not know what I was doing. Four inches is nothing. But I bought a four inch zipper. I bought a sweatshirt, and I went to a seamstress and I had her put it together for me. And that whole ordeal cost me only $55.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And so I said, okay, I can do this, I can do $55. And so my first infusion, I had my infusion, it went great. And I told my husband, we need to start a business. Like, we need to do this and make this more attainable. First we have to get the concept of adaptive work out there for sure. Make it affordable for everybody. And so yeah, that's what we did and that's how we started.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. And then now your kids, when did they start helping? Because this is like the whole family helps out.

[Lydia]

Yes. So at the time when we started, I had just been laid off from my job of ten and a half years and, and I wasn't in a hurry to get back into the workforce. I, I did have another job lined up which was going to be like six months out. So I had time and I had worked for so long. We, my husband and I used to work full time and go to school full time and raise our kids. So I had always been busy and at this point we were able and we were fortunate enough to slow down. Yeah. And, and that's actually the time that my, this infusion and this adaptive wear concept was, was introduced and that's when infusion where was born. And so I thought I told my husband like, we need to do this. And he was on board right away. Like I have nothing but time on my hand. So he's like, you know, go ahead and do like let's do it. And then I came home, we told our, our two adult children about it at the time and they were like, okay, mom, you need to make TikToks and we need to make a website. And I was like, you have to get an Instagram. And had only been like, I only viewed People's TikToks front of the camera. I wouldn't even comment on things. I was just, you know, like lurker. I don't know. And so, and that's how we started. None of us have a marketing background. None of us have a business background. We are all social workers and teachers. And so we, we really kind of just found our way. A lot of YouTube channels.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

So my, one of my sons, um, did, did all of the um, our whole website. All of our.

[Podcast Host]

Okay, that's awesome.

[Lydia]

Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was pretty neat. We had a whole photo shoot where my youngest son and my daughter in law and my grandbabies are modeling all of it. So. Yeah, every time.

[Podcast Host]

That's really cool.

[Lydia]

Yeah. Every time you see a face either a male or a female, chances are it's my son or my daughter in law who's modeling this website. And then my, my two grandbabies, which they are. That photo shoot was like two years ago. So.

[Podcast Host]

Wow.

[Lydia]

Yeah. The little, the pictures.

[Podcast Host]

That's really neat.

[Lydia]

Yeah, I love that.

[Podcast Host]

So like the whole Family participates. I think that's so important. It just goes to show you, like, they. They understand. I think it's what I love about that too, is you're really. You're really helping them understand that there's a whole world, you know, besides the one that everybody's healthy and everybody's doing stuff they enjoy, but there's a whole nother world out there that need stuff. And in the world we live in, where they think that everything, okay, you're handicapped accessible because you have a bar, you know, in the handicap stall. So it's like in a world that they don't understand what to do with us or how to help us, you're teaching your kids early and you're helping them understand that this is how we really help handicap. This is how we really do things. And so I think that's so awesome that you really help with that and them to have understanding. And of course, with mom, that. That's a big help.

[Lydia]

Yeah, they had a lot of hands on one. So since. Since we've started and since we last spoke, my oldest son and his fiance started a mobile coffee business. And through that, they were able to work with, like, golf tournaments.

[Kathy Chester]

Okay.

[Lydia]

Work with golf tournaments there. And Infusion, where has also been at a few of the golf tournaments. And it's so cool to see how my own kids go and just talk to people and sell our products, like, promote. I'm an introverted person. It's hard for me to have a conversation, but they. They can do it, and I love seeing them just walk and do it. And so when one event I wasn't able to be at, I had. I had to work on campus that day. So his son went. He represented Infusion, where while my oldest son represented their coffee business, Ambrosia. And he actually got to meet. Oh, my gosh, George Lopez.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, that's so cool.

[Lydia]

Lopez actually receives treatment. So he had a whole story and a whole experience with George Lopez receiving an infusion where sweat.

[Podcast Host]

That's awesome.

[Lydia]

That was really cool.

[Podcast Host]

I think there's. There are still so many people who don't know what that means. And so I think that's really awesome. And it's really cool that the boys are doing that because they're really just helping so many people that don't understand what this is and don't understand really how. I mean, I remember the last infusion I got. It was again, it's summer. It was so hot outside, but freezing in the hospital. And I was so grateful to have that. And so it is. It's such a neat idea. And I think about all the time, like, why didn't we have this? You know, so it's so. I'm so grateful that you. That you started it. And also the price, you know, it's not something that's so outrageous that people can't afford it. Where they're looking at it, thinking, okay, if I could afford that, where, you know, as, you know, so much marketing on Instagram and stuff like that, you look at it and you're like, sure, I'll get that. You know, I'll buy that tomorrow. And it's like, so outrageous. So it's something that I so appreciated with you is that you kept the price. You know, it's something that we can afford. And the other thing, too, is you have such a beautiful heart at the. What people I think that don't know you is the last time that you were at our. At the women's support group, you did a raffle and you raffled off for one of the women as one of the sweatshirts. And then there's a woman in our. In our group who's battling cancer and just a beautiful woman and just has a heart of gold.

[Kathy Chester]

And.

[Podcast Host]

And it's really been a struggle for us just to even watch her go through this. And on top of it, she just has such a beautiful, beautiful attitude as she's going through this chemo. And you are such a beautiful human that you actually sent her. I can't wait to see it on her. You went ahead and sent it out to her and. And you were so, you know, you wanted to know what color she wanted. Do you let her pick it out? And I think I love the way you've adapted it now. So if the port's going in, you know, for up here, and you've got some photos, too, to show. And as heartbreaking as it is, you even thought further. For kids. For children.

[Lydia]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

And. Which is heartbreaking, but it's something needed and how comfortable that is.

[Lydia]

It's just so sad, the fact that, I mean, I. I always like to say I get excited when we make a sale because someone is like, not only is someone hearing about infusion or. But someone's going to be warm in, like, their hardest, darkest times.

[Podcast Host]

Yes.

[Lydia]

I'm so. I always get excited when we make a sale. However, it's always heartbreaking when we make a children's.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah.

[Lydia]

It's. I don't. It's just. It just shouldn't be.

[Podcast Host]

It's yeah, no, it is. But I love that you do, because they need to be comfortable in that. They're in so much pain.

[Kathy Chester]

Show us.

[Podcast Host]

Because you've got some of those photos. Show us some of the photos.

[Lydia]

Let me share my screen with you. Let's see.

[Podcast Host]

Glad you're doing that. I don't have to.

[Lydia]

So you should be able to see it. This one right here. So this is our children's one. And you'll notice the. This one is the unedited version. You can tell I had a quickie right before. And so this one right here. Let's see if we're sharing it. Share. Can you see it now? Hopefully you can see it now.

[Kathy Chester]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

There you go.

[Lydia]

There we go. Okay. So this is our children's adaptive sweatshirt. And what's different about this one is that on the chest port, we don't use zippers. We actually use snap buttons. And they're plastic resin, so they're not metal. So there's no metal to it at all.

[Podcast Host]

Right.

[Lydia]

And I know that's a big thing that we were. We've been able to hear from parents the feedback that we've received that there's no metal in it. Because I know sometimes with certain treatments, there's. There's different. Different requirements.

[Podcast Host]

Sure, sure.

[Lydia]

What you can't see in the picture is that behind this little area right here, behind this, there's a satin backing to it so that it's softer on their little chest area, especially because that's the area that always gets poked and prodded with the ports. And we wanted that just to be, like, a little bit softer.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

For.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, no, that. That's so smart.

[Lydia]

Yeah, yeah. So that. That. That's our children's one. So we currently have this. This ash gray color. We have navy blue, and then we have pink and purple. Our number one seller in children's is the little pink one.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. Is the.

[Lydia]

What is the little pink?

[Podcast Host]

Oh, I bet. I bet.

[Lydia]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

That's such a. It's so beautiful, and it is heartbreaking, but to know that they. That there's so much care in it, that's so soft. And a lot of the stuff they have, they can't have metal.

[Lydia]

Yeah. And it can't have metal on it. So we have the. The snap buttons for those.

[Podcast Host]

Right. Very smart.

[Lydia]

Yeah. And then we've We've also. So we started off with sweatshirts, with adult sweatshirts with a crew neck. So we do the chest port with the zipper, and then we do the. The sleeve like you're wearing yeah. And the combo, because some people need both chest.

[Podcast Host]

Right, right.

[Lydia]

And then we ventured, we've also ventured into hoodies. So we just started some hoodies because for my infusion, you know, when, again, when I first saw adaptive wear, it was a crew neck, and that's what I kind of run with.

[Kathy Chester]

Right.

[Lydia]

And then a few years down the road, I thought, I'm a hoodie girl.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, me too. When I saw that, I'm like, I want a hoodie.

[Lydia]

A hoodie. I want my hands in my pockets, you know? And so we just launched those and in September. So we currently have the hoodies available in black and indigo blue. Such a pretty color. It's so pretty. Yeah, that's the one that I wore to my last. Okay. And then in September, we're going to be launching a soft pink. So we, we've gotten some women requesting the soft pink, and we have those available. So. But I just want to launch it in the summertime.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

I wanted to get the ATT dessert.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, no, that's good. I like that blue.

[Lydia]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

I love the hoodie idea because I love, I, I, I'm always going to be a hoodie girl. It's just.

[Lydia]

Yes.

[Podcast Host]

But I love the idea and I love, Yeah, I just love the different changes. What, what's coming up for you? What are some things that, besides the pink hoodie, what are some things that you're looking into now?

[Lydia]

So a few other things that we're looking into is. So we actually have a gap. We do have a gap. We have our, we have the toddlers that we offer and we have the adults that we offer, but there's a children's section that we haven't targeted yet, and we've actually just come across that. So we're, we're looking at getting our, our children's, you know, like the, the young adolescents. Not, not quite adults, but definitely not in the toddler size. So we're, we're looking at launching those soon and also opening up because we do have T shirts for adults. So if it's just a chess board that they're looking for. But I know, like, in the States where humidity is wildly crazy, you know what he's thinking about a sweatshirt. And sometimes a T shirt is better. I actually have one client, she purchased three sweatshirts. She was going through a cancer battle, and then her account, her chemo had switched up and she would get really, like, extremely hot.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, sure, sure.

[Lydia]

You know, in. That's the effect that I had on her body. And so she she was like, you know, I really. I love them, but she. I think they would even bring her, like, ice blankets and stuff. Okay. So then we thought of the T shirt idea. Like, hey, T shirts work for her.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And so. So we do have a T shirt line for adults already. Yeah. And we're thinking of expanding our colors on that. And then again, the children's sweatshirt and children T shirts.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, that's a great idea because there are different things. I remember getting chemo years ago, and I would get extremely hot. And so it's true. It's like there are things in their temperatures. There's weird things that we get, and we're just really hot and then really cold. So it is. It is very true. It's very smart. I love that you have your pulse on what's happening with what ages. And. Okay, we're missing this age. We have to make sure we get this age. So it's very wise of you to make sure that you're getting, you know, those different ages that you're not missing out on that. So I love that. That you do that. And. And then you're still working. So you're working full time and you're doing this. So it's not like anything's easy for you. You're still very busy. Do you ever see yourself doing this full time and not doing your other job, or.

[Lydia]

No, I. I don't yet, because my other job, like, I pay for an education to do what I do. So. Yeah, I don't want that to fall to the wayside for sure. So I definitely like that. And infusion, where it has a special place in my heart.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And I like keeping it what we are.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And, you know, oddly enough, we're still making sales. We're selling sweatshirts in the summertime, you know, and.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And so. And those are always appreciated. Every time we get a sale, it's. It's appreciated. But again, I. Infusionware, for me is something that I like to set time apart for.

[Podcast Host]

Right, right.

[Lydia]

And I like meeting the people and hearing the stories, you know?

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

So we have. We have an Etsy shop and we have our website, and even when we have making sale on Etsy some. A lot of times I'll send a message and they'll respond back and say, oh, I'm looking for my granddaughter. She's two and a half, and we just found out she has leukemia, you know, and so I like having that.

[Pulse Device Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host]

That connection.

[Lydia]

So Fusion, where it does have a lot of my time, I don't see it having full time, but, yeah, it definitely pulls priority. Yeah, definitely priority.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, I love that. I just, you know, I'm gonna promote you like crazy because I just love what you do. Yeah, definitely. And we'll talk about that because I'd love to have you have something like a little shout out on the podcast at the end, because I think that I just. I really love what you do. I think the more people understand, I think the better. Because we. I mean, we know what it's like to get infusions and be so uncomfortable or to ask. And it's not the nurse. I mean, nurse. They're just busy. And it's like, can I please have a blanket? And you're freezing. Can I please have something on me? And mostly it's up here because it's like, we're just so cold and. And it is. It's just so smart. And I always. And if I forget it, I'm like, no, no, because it just is. I just. I can't say enough about it and about how. How you work with it and how smart you guys are with the kids and with each thing that you do. I just. It's just so. It's just so beautiful. And what are some of the feedback that you've. That you've received from some of the. Some of the women that are liking it? Do they constantly want more colors? Are they always asking that?

[Lydia]

Yes, yes. Actually, that. That's one of the things too, is. Is colors. But I had. I actually had someone ask me about my infusions and she. She actually found us on Tick Tock. So the Tick Tock videos are paying off.

[Podcast Host]

And I see, I know. I'm like, really? How many of these do I have to do? But, yeah, they are good.

[Lydia]

Like, I hate looking at myself, but let's do it. You. So she purchased one on TikTok, and then she messaged me because, you know, I share my Ms. Stories on there as well. And she actually asked one time, she's like, oh, how are your infusions going?

[Podcast Host]

And I was like, oh, wow, that's so kind.

[Lydia]

Like, that's really cool.

[Podcast Host]

Right?

[Lydia]

And we actually had. We, like, we have each other's phone number now. And she asked, you know, how my infusion was or how often I get it. And I told her I received my infusions only once a year, which is good for my ms, but it's bad for business because I can't always take promotional pictures.

[Podcast Host]

Right, right, right.

[Lydia]

And she actually, she receives her treatments every two weeks.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, wow.

[Lydia]

Yeah. Which is. Which is quite frequent.

[Kathy Chester]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And so she's like, I'd be happy to send you pictures. And that's so nice.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, I love that.

[Lydia]

Because, you know, it's. It's. I want to promote, obviously. Right. And I want to promote, like, hey, look, people are actually using our products. But then it'. I don't want to be invasive, like, hey, can I put your picture on social media?

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

I feel like that's. That's kind of impersonal.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

And I do ask. Don't get me wrong. I have asked people before, and they've been like, yeah, sure.

[Podcast Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Lydia]

When they don't respond, I know. Like, hey, okay, that's. That's a. No, that's fine. That's fine. I don't want to put for sure out there.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. But, yeah, I would go for testimonials and stuff, because I've always found that people are more than willing to do that.

[Lydia]

Yes. Yeah. And so.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

So. So she's, you know, like, I'm excited, like. Okay. And then just. Just being able to share different stories, like.

[Kathy Chester]

Right.

[Lydia]

Okay. What do you receive infusions for? Or, you know, Crohn's, lupus.

[Kathy Chester]

Different.

[Lydia]

Or, you know, the. The most heartwarming is when people share. Oh, I'm buying it for my mom or my dad has dialysis, and for some reason, I don't know, I've never experienced experience dialysis, but for some reason, hospitals are already cold. But I feel like dialysis patients just have it freezing. Like, wow. Freezing experiences. They go super early in the morning.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

Most of them are already elderly, so they're already sensitive to, you know, temperatures.

[Kathy Chester]

Sure.

[Lydia]

And then. And in the morning, a lot of times it's freezing.

[Kathy Chester]

Right.

[Lydia]

And you're in a. You're in a clinic or a hospital that.

[Podcast Host]

Right.

[Lydia]

And so.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. And then you got to think about the others who get infusions that are on blood thinners and they're freezing.

[Lydia]

Yes.

[Podcast Host]

All the time.

[Lydia]

Yes.

[Podcast Host]

So that's a big one. Anemia. The iron.

[Lydia]

Iron infusion.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. So there's so many things that this is so important for that, you know, we don't think of because we know our infusions. But it is. Yeah. It's just there's so. And I would love to. When I go in, I want. I want to get some feedback from the nurses and just. I would love to see them promote, you know, for it. I'd love to see them do something. Yeah.

[Lydia]

I actually heard a lot. A lot of times I hear. You know, thank you so much. My nurse even loved it. My nurse had never seen anything like this before. Like, a lot of feedback from nurses being happy with it. And, hey, we're making your job easier.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Lydia]

Not easier, but, you know, helping it for sure.

[Podcast Host]

Definitely. Well, it is easier, especially for them to get to, you know, it's for the IV and stuff. I think it's. They love it, so. Yeah, they absolutely love it.

[Lydia]

I have had nurses look at me like, okay, you're wearing a sweatshirt, like, and then I'll just do the zipper.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah. Oh, wow.

[Lydia]

That's cool.

[Pulse Device Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Lydia]

Good. We can work with this.

[Podcast Host]

Absolutely. They love that. I. I know that my nurses have been like, oh, this is great. So, yeah, I really like it. So I'd love to have. I'm used to. I meant to do that last time. So I'm gonna have the nurses do a little thing. So I'll give you a little promo video with the nurse. So. But you know how much I love you and I want to do this a little check in with you every couple of months, and it'd be fun to do with the girls that got theirs and just to see. Just to see how they felt and how they do it theirs.

[Lydia]

So we'll do a little, like. Yeah, those women are. They're. They're. Yeah, they're pretty awesome.

[Podcast Host]

They loved having you on, so. But you know how excited I am to have you on. I'm just so proud of what you're doing and so definitely check in with me all the time. Let me know how it's going, what. What you're doing. And I think it's just so important.
