Okay, so you have dance rehearsals today. You guys don't wanna see my morning routine, do you? Didn't know you came here for mental health advice from a person who's not in therapy. I'm dependent.

Sue me. This is like a day in the life vlog podcast all combined. Oh, good morning, SIP girls. Hello. Hello. All right, today I am solo for now, but Shane will be joining me soon. Elizabeth is not with us today. Cheers, girl. Good morning. You guys don't wanna see my morning routine, do you? No, you don't. Wow. The sun's peeking through the trees. It's gorgeous. Look at her. So typically, water's behind. I've left my water behind. I'll come back and get her. Got my Christmas tree coffee mug going on. I was able this year to snag a advent calendar from Nespresso, which truly brings me joy. I'm always, like, running into that store hoping I can get one for myself. It's like a gift I give myself every year. Typically in the mornings, I come into the former pod cat shed. Rip. I know, it's gorgeous. We've definitely finally found a set that I love at the office. Like, with the Christmas tree in the background. Once it's not Christmas anymore, I'm going to have to figure it out for sure. I have tape on my fingers because last night we filmed Shane's podcast and I was just craving something bad for me. I was like, oh, I want in and out so bad, but they're not on any of the delivery apps. And the boys were going to bed, and I was like, ugh. So he got me Doghouse, which is delicious. So good. But for lunch, I had chicken and veggies, and I was like, well, let me subsidize the freaking horrible for me food with a crap ton of veggies. So I go to open my veggie container. It's like in a to go container, all three fingers. I'm sliding it to open it. Slice, slice, slice. Two of them are like, whatever. One of them's like, every time I move my ring finger on this hand, like, nerves shoot down the finger. What the f? Whatever. And then I started getting crazy because I was like, if I have an open sore on my finger and my finger's where I touch the world, is that gonna let see sickness into my body? Like, it. Is that a quick. You know what I'm saying? Is that like a cheat code? For germs into my body. Because typically I'd have to like, touch, then touch. Now all I have to do is touch. Do you see what I'm saying? I know. Like, the SIP audience thinks I'm a germaphobe and I'm like, crazy. There's construction going on. Sorry if you can hear that. Let me get closer to you guys. The SIP thinks I'm germaphobe and it's like you guys can think what you want, but right now we have my boy's second birthday this upcoming Sunday, which I'm so excited about. I have all of my family flying in to celebrate with us. We have such a fun theme, which once Shane gets up, I'll reveal the theme with you guys. And then the day after my children's birthday, we start shooting Shane's pilot for basically two weeks. Like all day, every day for two weeks. And so, yes, I. Sue me. I'm being a germaphobe right now. I'm being a germaphobe. Sue me. I'm not getting sick. Universe putting it out there. And Elizabeth, the reason she's not with us today is because there was a breakout at Billy's school of hand, foot and mouth disease. He's fine, but we're just being extra cautious. We were gonna be like, let's drive up in cars next to each other and each have our own cameras rolling. But it just seems like a post production nightmare. And I have a lot to plan this week, if I'm being honest. Like, stress levels are high, but I'm having a lot of fun and I'm trying to be like, don't stress, sleep a lot. Have fun, be cool. You're also sitting on top of my sides. For Shane's pilot, I was going really hard for weeks just preparing, preparing, preparing. And then I've just been letting it sit for a week or so. But this week, now being the week before, it's crunch time. Why are they even construction? It's literally not even 8am yet. Can you hold until 9am? Can you hold until working hours? So Shane did this fun thing on the office party podcast where he filmed a version of his podcast in chunks throughout the day because Spencer was out sick. And so, like I was in a few of those chunks and we just like when we had 20 minutes throughout the day, we would film a chunk and it was fun. So I kind of wanted to emulate that format as well while we're on crunch time. God, what are they doing? The piece of tape I put, like, isn't working out. I need to go pick up a liquid band aid from the store. I also need to go grocery shopping today. Okay. So I thought though, I would bring you out into my morning routine, which is in the former podcast shed. It's nice. Like, when we have childcare in the morning, I can come out here. I meditate first thing, I move my body first thing. I always like to get my like, blood flowing because I feel like I'm a person that subsists susceptible to headaches, especially on days that are computer heavy. So I find that if I like, really like, get my body moving in some way, that I have much lower rates of headaches throughout the week. I first start with a meditation from Headspace. Never have they ever wanted to sponsor me, which is a crime. And then three years into me using their platform, they like swapped all of their talking heads to AI And I was like, I complained in the app. I was so pissed. I was like, I'm not paying for a surface for me to use a fucking robot guiding my meditation. No thanks, I'm gonna cancel my subscription. And then they brought Andy back, and I think it's just like old Andy Meditations. I'm gonna have to close the door. I think they brought old Andy Meditations. He was like the founder, the owner. Owner, the guy that was like, whatever. He guided a lot of the meditations for a long time. So I don't know if they just got really good at AI and have his likeliness to his name, but it's kept me around. It's kept me around. Fine, I'll say it. I'm still doing it. But I was like, I could go to ChatGPT and probably have them create me a meditation or go to YouTube for, wow, it really sounds horrible out there. So first I plop my little butt on this couch. I do on busy days, a five minute meditation because something's better than nothing. On better days, I do the 10. Sorry, I don't do much more than that because I have added moving my body these instant. Like, my Explore page became like these movements you can do in the morning to wake up your body. So I first do these 50 overhead claps, which I'll show here where it's like over your head, under one knee, over your head, under another knee. And then I do another one that's similar, but it's kind of just between each leg with your hands all the way over. And then I implement a little bit of yoga, which I've gotten throughout the years and years and years of my life just as, like, a good wake up protocol. And I just feel like then I can go into my day a little more happy and fulfilled and satisfied. And then, like most days, I then go walk the dogs, which gives me an extra minute. Like, after I finish my coffee, do my movement in here, chug my thing of water, go to the bathroom, then I walk the dogs. And then I start my work day with yoga. I will say my sister, when she was here months ago, got me onto pilates. There's like a really bougie pilates studio that all the girls go to in Calabasas. And it's good. It's a really good workout. It, like, gets me in places that, like, I don't get anywhere else in any other kind of workout. And so I'll be sore in a way that feels satisf. And I am fulfilled with that. But I have to say, there's just nothing like heated yoga. Oh, my gosh. Like, for the mind. There's nothing that makes me. That fills me up more than a dark room that's heated with a bunch of people doing the same sequence of yoga with a great yoga instructor. It just. Oh, my gosh. Like, it's a little further from my house, less convenient. But every time I finish or I'm even in the middle of that room, I'm just like, oh, my God. This is what reset is supposed to be about. It's a place that I put my phone away for an hour and I can really reset my life and feel like, oh, wow. It's like pushing. It's a forced reset on my phone, on my computer, but on my life. And I just like. I don't know, you might have to find the right teacher. You might have to kiss a few frogs before you find the right room that you get that same magic inside of. It's like therapy. You have to date a few before you find the right one. I'm saying that as somebody who's never found the right therapist. Dark. Hmm. Maybe I should keep looking. I don't know. Maybe in January. Maybe that will be my new year's resolution. Because I haven't thought of any yet. Except for, you know, now I'm an actor, so I'm gonna act all year. Okay. I'm gonna do this morning routine. Oh, it's eight, which means, you know, another thing I've been doing for my mental piece, I have put do not disturb. I never knew how to use do not disturb. I always made fun of Lizzie every time. It's like your Notifications are silent. It's just like, oh, you're better than the world. We get it. I mean that's not what she's saying. But sometimes as a person who didn't know how to utilize the feature, I like you're better than me. You, you have some. I finally I was getting because I sleep with my phone on loud like in case there's an emergency, in case child care can't get in in the morning. Like I, I feel like my phone, as a parent, my phone just has to be on loud. I was just getting woken up so early with my email notifications with like, with notifications on my phone, it would wake me up every single day so early. And I thought I'm gonna learn how to use this feature. So now I have enabled midnight to 8am 0 notifications. Unless you're my nanny, my mom or Shane. You can knock it through to me. You can knock it through to me. There's no way that you're getting through to me. And it has changed my life because it I put it to 8 because I'm typically up at like 6:45 but then I have an hour. Another woo woo rule I have. I get made fun of a lot like by everyone. I do not open Instagram until noon unless I'm promoting the sip or a vlog. And then I like I'm to business and I leave. But it's like a hard rule with myself that I do not open Instagram until noon. And so this has been another thing where it's like I don't get notifications. Like I, I push my phone and there's nothing there in the morning and I don't look. So I get out of my bed, we grab our phone and we go. We're not looking at our phone, we're going. And then I typically get through my coffee, my water, my meditations and my stretches before my notifications start stressing me out for the day. Just saying, just saying, just saying. Didn't know you came here for mental health advice from a person who's not in therapy. Isn't this fun? The two of us together. I wonder if I should have Lizzie do like a 15 minute segment. I should. Shane and I can do one. Lizzie can do one. Jared and Sandy are actually coming to see the boys today. So that will be fun if we have any time with two toddlers that are running wild in a fun way. Alright, I'm gonna get to this morning routine and I will see you guys in the next chunk. Oh my gosh. Ladies. And just as I finish my morning routine, a bombshell enters the villa. Good morning. Good morning, Papa Squat. Oh. Oh, not the dirt inside. You're supposed to take off your shoes before you come in my shed. Where are you going? Okay, then. This is Shane's spot. This is where he sits.
