And stress was piling on and I would go into the ladies room and breathe or I'd walk outside or I'd go for a ride in my car, anything to get myself out of the situation, control and calm myself and then re-engage when I was in control of my emotions. So saying that I cried twice, the first time was when I recorded Flip Flippin, who I absolutely freaking love.

And if you haven't heard that episode, go back and listen to it. It's all about your third story, the story that you're telling yourself and how you can change it because it's a lie. I love that freaking story. I love that episode. I love that man. He's awesome. So anyhow, that was the first time I cried. Okay, so fast forward to now. I found out about Allie Love a little over a year ago.

I was at my friend Christina's house in Atlanta. She had a Peloton. We didn't have anyone to watch the kids, so we couldn't go exercise out of the house. And she said, oh, just go upstairs and do a Peloton ride, which I did. And she said, take an Allie Love class. Allie has this real warmth and positive energy and inclusive message. She's a black woman. She's young. She's gorgeous.

But there's something about her that people trust and are drawn to. And I was right. So I didn't have a Peloton at the time. But when the pandemic hit, I ordered a Peloton and the ones and twos and got that thing in here. so fast and had a huge blow up with my building because I didn't have a reservation for the elevator and that's policy.

And the woman downstairs was trying to forbid the Peloton people to bring the bike in. I lost my mind. Occasionally I do that. And I called the head of the building and said, it is a pandemic. And this is life and death situations. And I need some type of exercise while I am quarantined in my small condo. And they they let it up. OK, so that was the good news. Got the Peloton in for the win.

And truly during quarantine, when for a couple of months we weren't able to leave the house at all. That was the only exercise I got. And it was a saving grace for me because it transported me out of here safely. to a different place where I wasn't alone. I had my son here with me, but I wasn't the only adult. And, you know, seeing someone else, their face right on my screen, talking to me.

Oh my gosh, I loved that. It was a game changer, lifesaver for me. So I always knew I wanted to have my favorite instructors on the show, but hadn't, I had reached out a few times and hadn't heard back like anything. You know, when I hear crickets, I might wait a little bit, but I'm going to pivot and come back after you. So I came back after Allie Love. She connected me to the Peloton team.

we have her on the show. Now, that is not why I cried. So I had researched Ali a lot outside of Peloton, the same way I would any anyone that I interview, I read their books, I listen to their TED talks, I whatever their thing is, I'm all over it for hours and hours to prep and make sure I'm prepared for the interview. So I just consumed so much of Allie's content. Her TED Talk's awesome.
