What traumatic event did Emma experience?
Today, I'm going to tell you a story. Okay. Today, I'm going to tell you a story about something that happened to me a few weeks ago that I didn't bring up sooner because I completely forgot that it happened. Okay. Up until today, while I was eating my lunch, I completely forgot that this happened. completely forgot. And that's something I don't do often.
Why did Emma forget about this event?
When something significant happens, I don't often erase it from my memory, especially if it's a story that I could tell on my podcast. Okay, I'm in the business of telling stories. I don't forget about a story, but somehow this one was so traumatic for me that I completely blocked it out up until today at around 12 or 5 p.m. when I was eating my yogurt bowl. At 12.05 p.m., when I was eating my yogurt bowl, the memories came flooding back. And the second that they did, I knew what I had to do. So I finished my yogurt bowl, put it in the sink, put a little bit of water in it so that the yogurt didn't get crusty, walked over to my desk, turned on my camera, turned on my recording equipment, and sat down to tell you this story. And now here I am.
to tell you this story. And can I be honest? You are going to judge me. Yep. You're going to judge me because this story is embarrassing. It's mortifying. It's traumatizing to me, but it's not traumatizing in a way that you're going to sympathize with. It's traumatizing in a way that you are going to judge. You are going to judge me for being traumatized by what happened. But I'm going to tell you the story anyway. Because the silver lining of unfortunate events in my life is that I get to talk about them on my podcast. And beyond that, this story might be embarrassing and mortifying, but it's human. And that's why I have to share it with you. I briefly paused this episode of Anything Goes to let you know that this episode of Anything Goes is presented by Amazon.
Getting sick is horrible enough. The getting better part shouldn't be horrible too. Waiting on hold for an appointment, sitting in crowded waiting rooms, standing in line at the pharmacy, that's almost as bad as the sickness itself. Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy remove these painful parts of getting better with things like 24-7 virtual visits and prescriptions delivered to your door. Thanks to Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy for sponsoring today's episode. Now let's get back to the episode. So let me set the scene for you. For New Year's this year, I got invited to go on a little trip with some friends, okay? A group of like 10 friends, some friends that I'm super close with, some friends that I'm maybe a bit less close with, but a big group, 10 people, to a mountain town, okay? Like a ski town. Snow, ski lifts, ski mountains, snow. Cute little shops, cute little restaurants. You know the vibe, a little ski town. I absolutely love a ski town. So I was so excited for this trip.
What was Emma's experience during the New Year's trip?
I've always loved a ski town. There's something about it that's so peaceful and charming in the most dystopian way. But it's dystopian in like a theme park sort of way and like a Disneyland sort of way. And I've just always loved it. However, I've never skied. I've never snowboarded. Every time I've ever gone to a little ski town, I've just been there to hang out. Except for one time when I tried to snowboard for like an hour and like never even stood up. So I like I guess you could say, you know, I tried it once, but I don't even count it really. All of my experiences at ski mountains involve drinking a hot beverage by a fire in the lodge. Okay. I'm not going down the mountain. And that's because I didn't grow up doing it.
Like, I grew up with some kids who had really rich dads that had vacation houses in Lake Tahoe, which is sort of a ski town during the winter. And so there were a lot of kids I knew that were incredible at skiing and snowboarding because, you know, every holiday weekend they were going up to ski and snowboard. But I didn't have that. My dad does not have a Lake Tahoe house.
