Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Prologs podcast. I'm your host, Mary Skinner. And usually that is said in the intro of this podcast, the same intro that plays at the beginning of every episode. But I feel like Prologs needs a rebrand. I'm not feeling the intro. I'm not feeling the description. I'm not even really feeling the artwork at the moment. I don't even know if I'm feeling the title. I have this urge to just rebrand the entire podcast because I feel like I'm in such a crazy different part of my life than I was when I started prologues over a year ago. Maybe the title's a little bit too much, but definitely the artwork, definitely the intro and just

those little details. I don't know. I feel like I need a change. I feel like I've been stuck in

1:01.2

this previous era of my life because I've gone through so many changes in the last year and I've

1:06.4

been struggling to adjust to them and adapt. I've been struggling to have my career adapt. And I'm not

1:12.4

vibing with it at the moment. So I wanted to get a vibe check from you guys. How do we feel about a

1:17.4

rebrand? I mean, I'm asking you how we feel about a rebrand. I think I'm probably going to do it

1:21.5

anyway at some point. But just throwing that out there. There might be some changes coming to

1:25.3

prologs in the second half of this year as I

1:28.3

figure out what feels most aligned with me as we move forward. The types of episode topics and the

1:35.0

content will still be the same, I think. I'm just feeling like aesthetically and visually,

1:40.6

I want to go in a different direction. Let me know what you think. But hi, welcome back. I realized last

1:45.7

week that we haven't done a girl talk episode in about two months, just over two months. It was

1:50.0

the beginning of May when we did part four. So we're going to do Girl Talk Part 5 because these are

1:53.6

always some of y'all's favorite ever prologs episodes and I really enjoy them. I also feel like because they're a low-key, informal, multi-topic

2:02.0

type of episode, it's a good time for me to just slot myself in the beginning and talk about

2:06.9

my life updates, things I've been loving, just more casual chatty bits. When I have an episode

2:12.7

that is really centered around one topic, so like the seven, seven tips for elevating your style or

2:18.6

finding your style, the wedding episode, six tips for productivity for low energy girls. I just know

2:23.6

that if you're clicking on that title, you probably don't want to hear 20 minutes of me rambling about

2:26.8

my life before I get to the point. So that's why I don't do life updates or favorites or just chatty

2:32.5

things at the start of every episode. I'm just trying to get

2:34.4

to the point for you guys, especially if you're new and you click on the prologs for the first time.
