Wow. Welcome, welcome.

Compi Don to another episode of Confidentally Insecure.

I'm your host, Kelsey Dera, and we're Jones.

I mean, we are Jones.

But we are joined by the one and only Hippo Dara in the new podcast studio.

In case you haven't been here in a minute, let me welcome you to my new place.

This is the move I've been talking about for weeks for episodes now. I have been in process of moving we're finally a little bit more settled you can see a little bit more of the studio it's slowly coming together and hippo thought he would join he's all out of breath because he's been playing and chewing on his toy if you hear some um

cornographic sounds in the background that's a giant pit bull don't worry everyone's

fine how are we feeling confidants i want to jump right into this episode because obviously

the content is um god i've been wanting to do this episode for a while.

And, man, just a heads up.

I'm recovering from the flu.

As you can hear in my sinuses, I sound a little funky.

But we're going to get through it.

This is a lot to take in.

This is something I haven't talked about

publicly at all, period. So bear with me as I like keep the trauma together. You know how this

podcast is. We fucking joke around to cover up our feelings. Um, drinking a Celsius.

Not sponsored, sparkling orange.

Um, keeping me alive.

Let's dive right into it, shall we?

Mm-hmm.
