Just a side note to today's episode

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 so about today's episode, I had a great friend of mine, her name is Julia,

Speaker 1 and she doesn't want people to know who she is, so we did no videos because, of course, she was talking about a story that her husband cheated on her.

Speaker 1 And I wasn't supposed to say her name, and of course, I'm such a freaking clutch. I said her name twice,

Speaker 1 and then she said, Yeah, that's okay, publish.

Speaker 1 There are gazillion julies in the world it doesn't really matter so and I have this thing since I started this podcast that I never never edited whatever I record you guys listen to everything the good the great the mistakes the bad so I said you know what I'm just gonna go all out and publish since she was such a nice part about it and she said just go ahead and publish And I got a bunch of messages today.

Speaker 1 Oh my god, you said her name. And then you said you were gonna delete it.
and you didn't delete it. Yes, and this is exactly the reason why I published the way it was

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 honestly, the world is so fabricated nowadays with all of this social media.

Speaker 1 And I'm like one of the first in line to say, Yes, I work with my social media, I work with my Instagram, I do social media management for other people. But most of it out there is so fake.

Speaker 1 We talk about it all the time on this podcast when it comes to dating and dating apps. People put fake pictures, filters, pictures of somebody else.

Speaker 1 They added their body, they added their face, they added everything about their lives. And I'm what I am trying to do is basically maybe bring real back.

Speaker 1 Remember how there was the thing, bringing sex back? I'm trying to bring real back.

Speaker 1 And I am actually trying to show you guys out there that

Speaker 1 this is how real life is. We make mistakes.

Speaker 1 And like last week's episode, I was literally stuck on a freaking freeway for three and a half hours because there are protesters there and they closed up the freeway.

Speaker 1 I wasn't sitting at home on a fancy studio with all this fancy equipment, which I don't even have, by the way.

Speaker 1 So I've been trying to show with my podcast that this is simply a person

Speaker 1 trying to start a conversation about the subjects, which I think are subjects that most of us want to talk about.

Speaker 1 And when people ask me, Are you a dating expert? Are you a sex expert? Are you kidding me? No, I'm not an expert in anything, much less on these subjects. I am a girl that was married for a long time.

Speaker 1 My husband died, and after he died, my life turned into complete chaos. And I am proud to say I've survived it.
And I have tried to date again, and I got burned. And I'm trying to learn.

Speaker 1 So, this podcast is actually

Speaker 1 very real.

Speaker 1 And when I say real, everything you listen, all the stories are 100%

Speaker 1 real life, non-edited. And when I have a guest and they ask me about it, oh, what if I make a mistake?

Speaker 1 you edit? I'm like, no, whatever we say is what goes. If I make a mistake, my listeners are going to listen to it.
They're going to participate.

Speaker 1 Because I am hoping that a lot of us out there feel the same way, that we are sick of all the phonies, all the fakes.

Speaker 1 We want to meet real people. We want to listen to real stories.
So anyways, that's a kind of like a parenthesis on today's episode.

Speaker 1 But I've been thinking about it all day, and I thought it was so important to bring you guys that because, yes, her name is Julia, and yes, she forgave her husband.

Speaker 1 And we are gonna talk a lot more about cheating and about honesty in relationships because apparently it's a very sensitive topic and that a lot of people do want to talk about.

Speaker 1 So, please do send me your stories, your opinions. If you want to be a guest, DM me.
And I have to to say again, it means the world to me.

Speaker 1 Each one of you that actually listens to this podcast and that actually goes through the trouble of following my Instagram account and sending me a message. Thank you so much with all my heart.

Speaker 1 I think I said a little bit on my Instagram this afternoon that, of course, I have been trying to book celebrities, I have been trying to book fancy guest experts with a gazillion followers, but all of them, or most of them, of course, they want to be on the

Speaker 1 top podcasts in the country, in the world.

Speaker 1 Most of them don't want to come do the underdog podcast or the new podcast like me.

Speaker 1 But I'll keep pushing, I'll keep trying because every time one of you listens to an episode and sends me a message, it encourages me so much to go on. I love you guys.

Speaker 1 I wish everyone the most wonderful weekend, and I'll see you next Tuesday. Cat on the lose.
Love you.
