Today is the day, pod squad, that I have been waiting for lo so many, lo so many years. I know. Years. Because one of my favorite humans is here. Yes. And I don't even think she knows that she's one of my favorite humans. It might get a little embarrassing for you, Justina. Okay. First, I'm going to read your bio. That's what's happening now. And then I'll tell you the things.

Justina lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Jason, their kiddo, Ida. her kitties, Juju and Nova, and 52 houseplants because- Wow. Of course. All right. So real quick, Justina, I just, since I first met you, I think we've only been in rooms together a few times. I just, I feel like you are someone to me that feels like you live very close to your wild, like meaning-
Not wild like I think what sometimes people think of that as like necessarily loud or no, just I mean wild like your truest self. You seem like a human being who lives very from the inside out and not from the outside in. I can feel it in how you create and how you speak and how you dress and how you parent. And you're always that person.
What I want for everyone listening is just to be more of who they are. And so what I try to remind myself when I'm around you is not that I need to be more like Justina, but that I need to be more me. But I don't know if you remember this. We sat in a room together at like a really cool thing we do with a bunch of other women.
And we're supposed to go around at the end and all say what our brave goal is for the future. after this get together and everybody was saying things like for their companies or whatever. And I said, my goal is that I'm going to call Justina and ask her to be friends with me. I, of course, did not do that. But here we are.
Hi. Can I tell a brief little quick story about Justina and I's first real meeting?
Yeah.
Do you remember this, Justina?
