I have to give myself a pep talk every single time I parallel park.
And I live in Chicago, so I am constantly parallel parking.
And every single time, without fail, I have to...
talk myself down, remind myself I can do it, remind myself that I've done it before, that I'm capable, and I don't think that will ever change.
I think I'll just never get used to parallel parking, and I will just have to keep being used to giving myself the pep talks.
Yeah, like the box of hamburger helper in my pantry.
Or the resurgence of press on nails or lipstick or no lipstick.
Josh and I met doing improv comedy here in Chicago, where we live.
And over the pandemic, we, like everybody else, were like, what are we going to do with all of our now spare time?
And the theaters were closed.
And we ended up creating a conversation card game called No Wrong Answers.
And we jokingly, quote unquote, guarantee that there are questions you've never been asked before, like which serial mascot would be the best kisser?
Well, which one do you think?
The number one answer we get like far and away is Tony the Tiger.
Nine out of 10 times.
No, I'm glad.
I'm glad we got it.
So, you know, just with any small business, Josh and I found that we were giving ourselves pep talks or giving each other pep talks all of the time for everything.
For our eighth trip to the post office that day or for everything else under the sun.
pep talks aren't only for the really big things or the things that we know a friend or a family member or whoever is going through a very hard time.
