[03:29 – 04:34]

• Parenting & Summer: Amy reflects on how summer changes as a parent, especially as kids get older.
  • “It feels like summer because the kids are home... I do not like July and August. That's the only thing with me in summer. I do not like the heat.” – Amy [05:23]

2. Amy’s College Years: Switching Majors, Survival Mode, and ADHD/Dyslexia

[06:02 – 16:20]

• Changing Majors: Amy began as a political science major hoping to work in government, inspired by her mother and a family friend.
  • “I didn’t want to be a politician. I wanted to work for them.” – Amy [06:06]
• Realized she hated political science; switched to Agricultural Development just to graduate faster.
  • “I was just trying to graduate… No idea. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope.” – Amy [07:26]
• Describes the oddity and camaraderie of her classes (including the infamous "Chicken Sex" ag class and its quirky instructor).
  • “We called it Chicken Sex... He would show images of faces, like models, beautiful models, and like talk about why we found them so attractive... and then somehow chickens became part of it.” – Amy [08:51]
• Degree Use: Amy admits she never used her degree, aside from perhaps knowing the difference between a cow and a heifer. [10:59]
• ADHD & Dyslexia: Struggled with school, only later realizing she’s both dyslexic and has ADHD.
  • “School was very hard for me… This came up with my therapist. I was like, I don’t even know how I graduated college. I don’t know.” – Amy [11:07]
  • “If I were to go back with my current brain, it would have been a very different experience.” – Amy [11:07]
• Medication Experimentation: Brief experience with Strattera in college, feeling it dulled her personality too much.
• Social Life & Sorority: Amy felt disconnected; pledged her sorority as a sophomore, never lived in the house, and always felt she was playing catch up.

3. Listener Q&A: Skincare Secrets & Wellness Routines

[19:56 – 24:46]

• Skincare Routines: Both Amy and Morgan detail their skincare:
  • Amy swears by Biopel (snail serum), careful cleansing, and micellar water ("I count to 60 seconds when I wash my face"). Never sleeps in makeup. [20:10]
  • Both emphasize the impact of nutrition and hydration on skin health.
  • “So much of my skin is related to the foods that I’m eating. I mean, I have a skin routine. It’s very minimal...” – Morgan [21:23]
  • “If you have young girls, just have them start wearing sunscreen now... it's built into their moisturizer.” – Amy [24:24]
• Both use self-tanner and hats to avoid sun exposure, acknowledging that healthy skin is a combination of good habits — not just products.

4. Reliving a Perfect Day

[24:53 – 27:50]

• Question: If you could relive one day without changing it, which would it be?
  • Morgan: The day she adopted her pet, Remy—recounts how emotional and formative the experience was. [25:09]
  • Amy: Her daughter Stachira's 11th birthday, their first after adoption, and the celebratory party.
    • “That was just a fun day. It was like seeing her and then just all the people there. So I guess I would go back to that.” – Amy [27:50]
  • Both agree adoption days and celebratory moments with loved ones are among the most meaningful.

5. Navigating the Fear of Dating

[28:01 – 28:49]

• Listener, almost 30, asks if it’s normal to be scared to date.
  • “I feel like it's very normal.” – Amy [28:01]
  • “I think if you’re not scared, then you got some strange confidence that you need to bottle up and sell.” – Morgan [28:04]
  • Both encourage listeners not to let fear keep them from love, emphasizing that the process is difficult but worthwhile.

6. Maintaining Long-Distance Friendships

[28:49 – 31:43]

• Voice Texts: Amy’s go-to for staying close (“I thrive in a voice text”). [29:05]
• Annual Trips & Group Chats: Morgan shares her tradition of yearly trips with longtime friends, regardless of life changes. Both agree group texts/"memes and updates" keep connections alive even when visits aren’t possible.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “If you're talking to other parents in general, like, especially if you've got little kids... it's very different than when they're at school from seven to three, you know.” – Amy [05:14]
• “I have such compassion for people that have a brain like mine, that's very, very stressful.” – Amy on dyslexia and ADHD [12:13]
• “That's why when that woman came on our show... and said that I was successful, I think that's why tears came up instantly. Because I was like, so much makes sense now. And I felt like I had an answer. Not an excuse, but I felt like I had an answer as to why certain things were so difficult.” – Amy [12:39]
• “I counted the 60 seconds [washing my face]... Because it makes a difference to me.” – Amy [21:23]
• “I think any version of love is worth it in the end.” – Morgan [28:48]
• “Make sure you go ahead and form the group text, give it a fun name, and then maybe one day it’ll make it out of the group text and you’ll go do something. But if not, then you can still feel connected that way.” – Amy [31:01]

It's listener Q and A time where

[Ryan Seacrest]

Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.

[Morgan]

Time for some listener questions and Amy and I answered. That's what we're here for. What's up, Amy?

[Amy]

Hello. Hello. All right.

[Morgan]

We talked all about the cruise post show cruise recap situation on part one, if you want to check that out. I know there were some cruise questions, so go listen to part one if you want to hear that. If you're just here for the rest of them, we're going to start with some shout outs. Loved the two of you on the ship. FOMO here. So I think that's someone who was not on and was just enjoying content. Oh, my favorite combo. That is from Morgan in New York. Shout out another Morgan. And then we've got Kimberly from Utah who said, I just love both of you so much. You both inspire me every day. Oh, you feel good.

[Amy]

Thanks.

[Morgan]

Feel ready to start now?

[Amy]

I feel ready. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Awesome.

[Amy]

I need to. Speaking of content from the ship, like, I'm just gonna do a better job next year of grabbing more content. I feel like you're good about getting. I mean, you filmed your outfit every day.

[Morgan]

I just tried to listen. I. Every time before I go somewhere, if I know I try and find one video that I can keep up with. That's like always my goal.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And then if I have that already in my head before I go, then I'll do it. But if I try and come up with it while I'm there, it won't happen.

[Amy]

Okay. Gotcha.

[Morgan]

So that's where.

[Amy]

Where that plan comes at.

[Morgan]

Yeah. All right. Any summer vacation plans? Michelle in Texas. This was. This is interesting. We kind of talked about this in part one.

[Amy]

Yeah. TBD on what they're gonna be, but potentially France.

[Morgan]

Yes. Very much pushing Amy to finally make her Paris trip.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Cause I think she should do you. Is there anything else like you wanna make happen this summer?

[Amy]

I don't know that I'm thinking that far ahead, although I know I should be. But I just got, you know, Stisher graduating high school. Stevenson's gonna do some summer school. I. Yeah. Just some things to figure out.

[OrderlyMeds Announcer]

Like.

[Amy]

Yeah. What is. What's she gonna do with her life? Like, we're trying to just. Yeah. Figure some stuff out.

[Morgan]

Is summer as a parent doesn't really feel like summer or does it feel like. I guess I'm curious.

[Amy]

It feels like summer because the kids are home.

[Redfin Announcer]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, what's the perspective? But I don't know.

[Amy]

I mean, you know, it's summer because the kids are not there. I mean, the kids are not at school.

[Morgan]

Like, do you look forward to summer or not so much?

[Amy]

Oh, I like summer. Yeah.

[Redfin Announcer]

Okay.

[Amy]

I don't. I don't mind summer. And my kids are older. I'm just thinking if you're talking to other parents in general, like, especially if you've got little kids, like second grade, third grade, fourth grade, like, and they're all home for the summer.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

It's very different than when they're at school from seven to three, you know.

[Morgan]

Yeah,

[Amy]

I look forward to it. I'm not a big. I don't like the heat. So that's the only thing with me in summer. I do not like July and August.

[Morgan]

Oh, are you more of a mountain person too, then? Like, do you like.

[Amy]

That's why I like to go to Colorado, especially in the summer, because it's just the weather so much better.

[Morgan]

Oh, okay.

[Amy]

We're.

[Morgan]

We're the same in that I'm not. I don't mind a beach. I'll go. And I enjoy it. It's pretty. But I would much rather be in the mountains. Cold weather is my vibe. And I like being cozy. I don't love being hot. I can always, like, wrap myself in a blanket, but I can't take off more clothes. You know what I mean? What about what career did Amy have in mind when she went into an agricultural major at A M? That's Lisa from Texas.

[Amy]

Oh, nothing. I was just trying to graduate.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah. Because I was a political science major and I realized I did not like that. And I was going to go into the government space somehow. Like, you know, working for someone, you know, like, I didn't want to be a Paul. I didn't want to be a politician. I wanted to work for them.

[Morgan]

Like work in politics or a lobbyist

[Amy]

or something like that. Yes.

[Morgan]

Like, interesting.

[Amy]

I mean, my mom worked at the Capitol, and then also one of our neighbors was a lobbyist. So I think that's where I got that.

[Morgan]

I wondered because I don't feel like that one comes up on, like, when you're at kindergarten and no writing the things you want to be.

[Amy]

But my mom liked her time at the Capitol. I just thought in Austin, that's where we lived. I. I just thought, well, this will be a good major to Pick. I hated it so much. So then my junior year I needed to change it. And my advisor said, well, if you want to graduate on time ish, we can get you out of here not in four years, but four and a half years if you change to an agricultural development degree and you need a 12 hour emphasis in something which is less than a minor, but they require it. An emphasis. And she was like, and you have 12 hours of your poli sci government classes. So I have an agricultural development degree with an emphasis in poli sci.

[Morgan]

Okay, and did you like.

[Amy]

And I was just trying to graduate,

[Morgan]

I was gonna say, as you were doing the agricultural side.

[Amy]

Did you? No idea. Nope. Nope, nope, nope, nope. No. My roommate and I had started a purse business, so honestly, we were going to make purses and I didn't even need school, if you asked me.

[Morgan]

Oh, so then you graduated and then you didn't use that degree at all, did you?

[Amy]

No, nope. I just got a job with friends. I mean, I was working in sales. Like, I. Again, I only landed that major because my advisor said, this is how you're going to get out of school on time. Ish. Which a lot of my friends at that point were doing four, four and a half years, but I just did not want to be there five years.

[Morgan]

You just wanted to be done and

[Amy]

that was a way to do it. And I liked a lot of the ag. I liked the ag school. I liked. I liked the people. It was definitely felt like you were sort of at two different universities because you had like the business school, which. Some of my classes were over there. Like if I had like economics or something. But because I did take that, it was sort of like you were doing like your economics, but economics of like corn. And then like there was classes like turf management. And I don't even know what this class really was, but anybody that went to Texas A and M around the time that I was there, early 2000s, there was this class we called Chicken Sex.

[Morgan]

Interesting.

[Amy]

And I can't remember the teacher's name, but he was very cute and he was talking about chicken sex and he wrote a book. So we called it. We called it Chicken Sex, but I don't even know what it was on the. Like when you registered, like what it was on your.

[Morgan]

It could not have actually been the name of it.

[Amy]

There had to be. No, but that's what we called it. But he was teaching us about. Yeah, it was about. I remember we would. He would show like images of faces, like models, beautiful models, and like talk about why we found them so attractive. Like, the symmetry of their face. Like, this is why you are so attracted to this face, because the symmetry is this.

[Morgan]

And then somehow chickens became part of it.

[Amy]

And who knows? I don't. I think it was just in the ag school, but he sort of made the class his own.

[Morgan]

Got it.

[Amy]

He was sort of weird, but he was cute, now that I think about it. I'd see him at fraternity parties and, like, okay, I don't know what's going on.

[Morgan]

And he was a teacher.

[Amy]

I think he was a fraternity, like, you know, like, sponsor or what? You know, they would have. You know what I mean? They would have the.

[Morgan]

Like, the alumni that would come back

[Amy]

of the fraternity or like the, like, at our at. And my sort of, you know, you have, like a house mom or whatever. Like, he was, like, kind of teacher, sponsored dad guy. I don't know. To a fraternity where I was a little sister, which that was fun. I was a little sister to kas, which I loved because my dad was a ka.

[Morgan]

That's fun. The sorority fraternity life is fun. But, yeah. Senior teacher at fraternity.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying he was, like, partying, but I would just, like, see him. But it was a little sus looking back, like, well, I don't know.

[Morgan]

And if you guys called this last chicken sex, there's a lot of things that are sus going on there.

[Amy]

Yeah. When he was, like, teaching us, like, what's attractive and what's not, and, like, probably walked out of that class with some insecurities.

[Morgan]

Did you ever learn, like, did you ever use anything that you learned with your agricultural degree, like, later?

[Amy]

Nope.

[Morgan]

Even just, like, in normal life, nothing ever got used from it?

[Amy]

Not that I can think of. I mean, I guess maybe in, like,

[Morgan]

I don't know, like, maybe like, in

[Amy]

some yards at work.

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Female cow heifer.

[Morgan]

Oh, man. Well, they always say your school is gonna, like, you need it at some point in your life. So I was just curious.

[Amy]

I did not. But I don't think that I was development mentally. If I were to go back to college today with the brain, my. My current brain, it would have a very different experience, and I would probably use a lot, and I would try to get as much out of it as possible. I think between my ADHD and then later, what I learned that I'm dyslexic. School was very hard for me, so I honestly, I. This came up with my therapist not too long ago. I was like, I don't even Know how I graduated college? Like, I don't. I. I don't know.

[Morgan]

You survived.

[Amy]

I don't really have memories. I don't. If you're saying, like, did I use anything? It's like, because I barely remember anything.

[Morgan]

No.

[Amy]

You know, you talk to some people and they'll be like, oh, yeah, I wrote a paper on that in college. And I'm like, what? And I know I wrote papers. Like, I did things, but. And we didn't. We didn't have things like Chat. GBT back then. Like, I know I wrote some papers, but.

[Morgan]

Well, you passed. You got your degree.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So you accomplished it, But. Yeah, definitely. Probably more in a survival state than you were in a, like, thriving.

[Amy]

I was. You're right. I was definitely surviving, not thriving, because I could barely even get to class. Like, simple things like figuring out the map of, like, where which parking lot is best for which building. Like, that's just not. I know that's such a silly thing, but I have such compassion for people that have a brain like mine that's very, very stressful. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I feel like it's anything.

[Amy]

And you're like, why can everybody else figure it out? And I can't figure it out. And. Well, now. Now I think that's why when that woman came on our show, Ms. Kelly, and said that I was successful, I think that's why. Dyslexic. I can't even say it. Dyslexic. That's why tears came up instantly. Because I was like, so much. Makes sense now. And I felt like I had an answer. Not an excuse, but I felt like I had an answer of why certain things were so difficult. But yet also, I'm proud of myself because I powered through, clearly. I figured out a method that worked for me. But to. When you're in survival mode, you don't remember much.

[Morgan]

No. And it was probably. Honestly, the tears probably came from the little girl inside of you who for so long didn't understand, and none of it really made sense. And then all of a sudden, you finally have an answer, but it's decades later, and you're like, I could have used that answer a long time ago.

[Amy]

Because there's programs in high school, you know, elementary, junior high, high school, college that, well, would tend to my disability or my. Even my adhd, which I did get on some medication for a little bit for that in college, because I got diagnosed in college. But then my personality. I got on Strattera. It wasn't. I don't know if that doesn't seem like one of the popular. You know, it wasn't like Adderall.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I was gonna say I've never heard

[Amy]

of that name, but I really didn't want to be on medication. But the. This is what the doctor recommended, so I did it. And my personality, like, I was almost concentrating too much. Like, I just felt like I was, like, staring at things, and then I didn't feel like I was really being me. And I was like, well, this is lame.

[Morgan]

Like, I don't. And you're a college kid, you know.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You want to live your life.

[Amy]

So then I got off of it. But that was. Yeah, I had more fun just probably doing other things. But, like, I don't even really remember my social life that much or like, I wasn't that. Like, it wasn't a sorority, but I wasn't that involved. I was sort of, you know.

[Morgan]

Did you ever live in the sorority house or anything?

[Amy]

Nope.

[Morgan]

That's crazy. It wasn't around.

[Amy]

No. Because I pledged as a sophomore.

[Morgan]

Oh. And sophomore year is typically the year that.

[Amy]

So.

[Redfin Announcer]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And I saw as a pledge that year. And so everyone my age. Yeah. They were living in the house.

[Morgan]

Because you went somewhere else freshman year, right.

[Amy]

Yeah, I went to blend because I didn't. Again, didn't even get into a M. And that's the only school I applied to. And it's interesting when your brain has a goal. Right. Because I was mortified that I didn't get in. So that kicked my butt in gear. I needed no medication for that. And I went to blend. Got a 4.0 and got into A and M right away. And then felt like I was playing catch up at that point. But then once I was in and I lot my motivation was gone. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Sorry. We're going all the way back to your. Your school years. I know we can move forward.

[Amy]

So I'm. Yeah, I know that I'm capable, but that just goes to point. Sort of like people with ahd it's like you give them a deadline or you give them something. The. The brain just is firing and wiring so differently that, like, if I've got to pack for a trip, I'll. I'll pack my best and my darndest leading right up to it.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, I'm able to, like, focus and do it, but I have other tools and things that help me be more productive before it gets crazy. But good times.

[Morgan]

Well, this is also why they make us go to school.

[Amy]

Right.

[Morgan]

That's when we're. Our brains are developing. We're trying to understand what we, you know, are going to do in life and whatnot. So. All right, no more. No more college talk. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to ask some more questions.

[Amy]

We'll be right back.

All right, Lindsay in Louisiana is hyping us up to start. She said y' all skin is looking great lately. What is the secret? I'm gonna let. I mean, I don't know. I feel like you have more secrets.

[Amy]

Well, I've been doing the same thing. I still use biopel, which is the snail serum, and I feel like that's been very great for my skin. I do, you know, I wash my face every morning and every evening.

[Morgan]

Do you never sleep in your makeup? I'm a singer.

[Amy]

Never.

[Morgan]

I'm the same way.

[Amy]

And I wash for at least 60 seconds or longer. And I do the. What's that stuff called? I don't even the misalin water.

[Morgan]

Oh, micellular water.

[Amy]

Micellular.

[Morgan]

That's how I pronounce it. But I don't know the best.

[Amy]

I have no idea. I just know how to buy it. And that's. I put that on a cotton pad and sort of cleanse. Some people say to double wash, but to me, I don't want to waste that much face wash. So I'll do the cotton swab to get the first layer of sunscreen, makeup all that off and then I'll wash and I count to make sure I'm like 1, 2. I count the 60 seconds or I'll look at a clock, and I'll just make sure. Because it makes a difference to me. Because sometimes if you just do, like, 20 seconds and then call it a day, you may not be getting in there. Well.

[Morgan]

And I don't. I don't know about you, but I feel like so much of my skin is related to the foods that I'm eating.

[Amy]

Mm.

[Morgan]

It really impacts it. I mean, I have a skin routine. It's very minimal.

[Amy]

I do.

[Morgan]

I use my cellular water, and I put on two different products at night, and then I. And I wash my face. I never sleep in my makeup. And then I have, like, vitamin C and sunscreen that I wear in the morning before I put on makeup, and those are great. But I feel like so much of my skin is influenced really, by what's. What I'm consuming.

[Redfin Announcer]

I.

[Morgan]

Besides the cruise, which ended my streak, but I hadn't been drinking alcohol since August. I mean, I really stopped. Like, I'd had a few drinks at Christmas and the cruise, and honestly, I haven't been drinking. That's made a huge change in my life. Just how I feel and how I feel like my. My skin and my body feels. And then eating whole foods, honestly, like, those things are. Are game changers for just how body looks and how. How body performs versus more products to use. Honestly, I. I feel like that's where it's come in is just more that glowy skin, I guess, that everybody really wants. Is that, like, really glowy, bright skin. I feel like it's truly my best. When I'm not drinking, I'm in whole foods. I'm in a really good routine with my hydrated. Yeah. Like, honestly, at the end of the day, I think that's what it's about.

[Amy]

Yeah. But I don't know.

[Morgan]

Have you had that same experience? Because I really feel like that's what's the most.

[Amy]

No. I think that we all know at this point. Yeah. What you put in your body is gonna come out through your skin. I mean, it's our largest organ, so. But it's so specific. Like, some people might be like, oh, yeah, when I eat gluten, this happens. Or if I have dairy, this happens. And maybe, like, it's not. It's like figuring out what foods do it, because that's still.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, sugar really activates me.

[Amy]

Yes. Or for some people, it might be chocolate or. So just kind of learning that, getting that information for yourself, because everybody's so different. I do a red light mask as well.

[Morgan]

I love red light therapy. Big fan of that.

[Amy]

So I'm just trying to think. I mean, there's not. I mean, I think it's just in general. And I do wear sunscreen, and I wear a hat, and I try to stay out of the sun. If you're seeing any color on my skin, it's bronzer or self tanner.

[Morgan]

Same.

[Amy]

Yeah. Speaking of putting whatever into my largest organ, like, I don't know what's worse, the chemicals in the self tanner or the sun, but I know It's a

[Morgan]

catch 22 with that one. That was something that my mom, when I was, like, 16 and on, she always. That's why I always wear sunscreen on my face. She's always encouraged that just because you can have sun, like, exposure when you're driving, you can have it from technology. You can have all kinds of different. Different exposure, but exposure nonetheless. And so I think sunscreen has been a best friend. So if you. You have young girls, just have them start wearing sunscreen now. Not. And not like a sunscreen that you're thinking. Not like a banana bow on their face. It's like a.

[Amy]

It's like, built into their moisturizer. Like Neutrogenol have, like, you know, you have your day and your nighttime moisturizer and. Or survey.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Because sun. Sunscreen or sun exposure is, I feel, like the hardest thing for skin to come back from versus other things. But again, just drink water. You know, just do that. That. That would be the first thing. I don't drink enough as it is. So if you could relive one day of your life without ever changing it, what would it be?

[Amy]

Wait, what do you mean by without ever changing it? Oh, you, like, re.

[Morgan]

Just relive, like, one day in your

[Amy]

life, and you're not changing anything about it?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

That's a hard question. I can give you a second to think, though, because something does come to mind for me.

[Amy]

Oh, well, then go ahead. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think it was the day that I adopted Remy.

[Amy]

Oh, I really do. Adopting the kids popped into my mind.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

See, like, I feel like something in that moment, like, me seeing her and having the moment where it really felt like she was imprinted on me. And I made the call to finally, like, be like, okay, I want to adopt her. Like, put my down payment in to, like, make sure I could save her so I could adopt her. After she came out of her spay surgery, and I went and picked her up, and it was like I was crying tears, and I got to see her, like, using Grass for the first time. And having that whole experience with her, I. I wouldn't change that day in a heartbeat.

[Amy]

Mm.

[Morgan]

I think that would be the easiest one that comes to mind.

[Amy]

Yeah. Um, right now, I have Sashira's 11th birthday in my head.

[Morgan]

Oh, okay.

[Amy]

It was so fun. It was her first birthday after we adopted her, and we went all out, and we had, like, so many people at our house. Which reminds me of when we adopted the kids. Like, we had a huge party at our house, like, when we returned, and there were so many people. I mean, my dad was able to be there, My mom wasn't. But. Yeah, just I'm picturing, like, our East Nashville house. We had some good parties there.

[Morgan]

So I think I was there for Stacier's birthday.

[Amy]

Yeah, we had a big, bouncy house in the front, and then all these other games. But it was mostly adults. Cause they didn't really have friends yet. So it was, like, all of us and a lot of our friends. And then their kids were able to come. What year was that?

[Morgan]

So while you're talking about this, I think I have a really cool picture.

[Amy]

So 2019.

[Morgan]

Okay, that was 11, like, seven years ago. And what month was it?

[Amy]

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. April. April 25, 2019.

[Morgan]

I think I have a really cool picture if it's still in here, because

[Amy]

we adopted them at the end of 2018. I think December. You think I would know this?

[Morgan]

Well, I have one.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

That's not the one I was looking for, but I do have one of Stevenson and Remy.

[Amy]

Oh, that's so cute. Oh, my gosh. Look how little he was.

[Morgan]

I know. Is that so cute? I don't. I think that was.

[Amy]

Well, then maybe check, check. 2018. Because what if they came at the end of 17?

[Morgan]

I'm trying to see. I. I have a really cool picture of her with a balloon.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

And that's what I'm remembering.

[Amy]

I mean, we went all out,

[Morgan]

but please continue. Oh, there it is. I found it. It is 2018. Oh, okay.

[Amy]

So it was 18. Yeah.

[Morgan]

The bouncy house.

[Amy]

Okay, so we got her. We got them at the end of 17. Yes. That is such a cute picture. And she had that little headband on. Yeah. That was just a fun day. It was like seeing her and then just all the people there. So I guess I would go back to the hut.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's a good one. And see it. Now we're both smiling. So that was fun. Is it normal to be scared to date? I'm almost 30 and need to get back out there. This is from Kaylee in Louisiana.

[Amy]

I feel like it's very normal.

[Morgan]

I think if you're not scared, then you got some strange bit of confidence that you need to bottle up and sell, honestly.

[Amy]

Yeah. Or it's not even just your confidence. Like you're naive to what's out there, I guess. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Just the optimism with the world. Maybe that's what it is. Just bottle it all up and sell it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's really scary and it's hard. And dating. Nothing about dating is easy. It's not supposed to be. You're trying to choose somebody to, to spend your life with or. Or some of your life with or. Or whatever your choice is. And that's hard. It's gonna be hard, you know?

[Amy]

Yeah. But don't let the fear hold you back. I mean, I think that it would be easy to let it take over and be like, okay, never mind. But power through.

[Morgan]

It's worth it. It'll always be worth it.

[Amy]

Totally.

[Morgan]

I think any version of love is worth it in the end. How do you keep up with your long distance BFF since, like me, you don't live near their hometown? Lori, she cruise. She was one of the fun ones on our cruise.

[Amy]

Hey, Lori. Voice text.

[Morgan]

Amy loves a voice text. I actually think that's where you thrive text.

[Amy]

Yes, I thrive in a voice text, which is so funny. You'd be proud of me. I actually just got a voice text from Bobby and I replied with words, not with typed words.

[Morgan]

I am proud of you.

[Amy]

Instead of sending a voice text back, so it'd probably be way too long, I just said I just replied with words and kept it brief. And he probably appreciated that, but he probably sent it because he was driving. And then since I'm here with you, I was just like, oh, yes, of course. Da, da, da. Done.

[Morgan]

I am proud of you.

[Amy]

Thank you. But also being intentional about planning trips, I'm thinking of my best friend from high school, Andrea. She just texted me, like, I need to reschedule my trip because she had a trip planned and we had the ice storm and then we had to cancel seeing each other. And so now we're trying to figure out when she can come back, but. And then I'll see her when I go to Austin for I Heart Country. So just like having maybe some different things that you can meet up at or can you come stay with. Go stay with each other. But with kids in life, it is not that easy. So I would say the simple, cheap answer is voice Text it is.

[Morgan]

I was gonna say the same. Me and. Me and some of my best friends from really just my hometown years, we've been best friends for, gosh, going on 15, 16 years now. And every year we plan a trip together, and that's through kids, through marriages, through life, through moves. And we're all in different cities now, and we either choose a place where we all meet up or they'll come visit me in Nashville. We'll go visit one of them in Denver, another one's in Fort Worth, and we just, like, go and figure out what's best. And once a year, we make sure we see each other. It's always our goal. Because it's hard. It's also hard, like everyday life to. To keep up with each other too. You know, even doing random voice texts is hard.

[Amy]

Well, I will say since you brought up a group of friends like we have, speaking of that same friend from high school, Andrea, we have a couple of other friends from high school too, and we've got some group texts and so memes, funny videos, voice text on those. Like, take it, take it to the group text. And you, you just feel connected and everyone's chiming in and like, haha. Or updating each other on life things. Because a trip may not always be able to happen, but especially if there's a group, make sure you go ahead and form the group text, give it a fun name, and then maybe one day it'll make it out of the group text and you'll go do something. But if not, then you can still feel connected that way.

[Morgan]

Very good one. And yes, we love a trip that makes it out of the group chat. All right, we're gonna get out of here. Amy, thanks for joining. Being here.
