Comedy Through The Chaos

So, Aaron, what we're gonna do is that we are talking in the Cadre app. And, Erin, if you're not familiar with Cadre, I do livestream here. It's Thursdays, so it's caregiver Thursday. So every Thursday at about 02:00, I sign on. This is my friend, Erin Schwab. She is also a wonderful performer here in the Twin Cities. Also a mom. So we talk to a lot of moms on Thursdays. So I'm a minute early. So we'll see if people do this. But you know what we do every week? We just give a variety of things. And, Aaron, if you're not familiar with the Cadre app, which you're probably not.

Hello. Hello. Thank you so much. That's my friend Aaron Schwab. Thank you for signing in. What we do on caregiver Thursdays is that, you know, we try to reframe the conversation about mental wellness. Hello, Jules. Thank you for joining us as well. We are at the great Minnesota get together, which is the Minnesota State Fair. And it's raining today. And so I thought, since we're at the fair. Thank you so much, Jules. Good to see you as well. So what I thought we'd do is we would talk about our caregiver Thursday.

Hi. You're good. We are out of rain ponchos. See what we're doing? This today is a good. It's raining here again, and anybody who's not in Minnesota, they've seen me say this for a couple of. A couple of live streams that it's been raining an exorbitant amount here in the Twin Cities. And normally, I like the rain, but it has been very inconvenient lately. Hello, Shannon. With an odd. What we've been talking about is a lot of. How can you just kind of weather the storm? And today's been extremely weathered weather the storm?

Yes. Because there have been a lot of conversations about how do you keep moving even when you're. As a lot of these people are disappointed because we don't have any more rain ponchos or Aaron and I being disappointed. Cause normally we get to do something really fun when we're hanging out here in the state fair, and instead, today we are hanging out in the rain. And so it's been a lot of. Yeah, it's been a lot of, how can you do what you normally do in a different setting and trying to give yourself time to be content with wherever you are?

And that's a lot of the conversation that we talk about in Cadre is wherever you are is where you're meant to be. I like to remind people, you know, in my particular mindfulness practice, there's a lot of conversations about the concept of impermanence and how wherever you are is where you need to be right now and figuring out how to reframe. I know that as a mom, you probably have done this before, and I know that my friend JC likes what I call it this we have to snap into get things done mode really often.

And today is one of those days, too, where we're like, hey, this isn't exactly the way we thought we were going to get this thing done. Hello. But today we are doing it different and we're just going to keep having these conversations. And we appreciate everybody joining us, because if we're here in Congress, it's probably because you're going, you know, I'm going through that moment in my life that I really want to build community, that I'm looking for some more like minded people that, again, also want to talk about their mental wellness.

A good friend of mine, Matt, stopped by today and was talking about his mental wellness journey and what happened to him in 2020, in 2021. And that's a lot of the way we found each other here in Cadre is because you're going, hey, I want to have a community where we are, okay, talking about mental wellness and what we do about it. And we all have our not best moments, right? So if you were out here at the Minnesota State Fair, we apologize on behalf of Mother Nature, making it not our best moment, and we will help us all get through the soggy.

However you're joining us, we hope that we are giving you some resources to help you go. This isn't exactly what I thought it was going to be, but I'm going to be okay. And you can always pop in and talk to all of us during our livestreams, or if you want to put a comment afterwards, whether something in particular you want us to talk about. That is one of the things that we love to do. So we are going to go back to, I don't know, doing some g. Kelly impersonations. So we're going to sing in the rain, a little stormy weather.

Yes, we do. They'll clap together. Yeah. So, everybody, thanks for being part of this Cadre community. Thanks for joining us on Caregiver day. Thanks for putting up with us, being perfectly and perfect, just like many of you are, and just like this kid right here some days, any place. Absolutely. That's what we do. No. And I don't care either. We're just gonna stand out in the rain and we're gonna hang out. So we appreciate you. Find somebody that you love, find a dry spot, and we'll see you guys next week.

So, thanks, everybody. Gas?
