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. 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 12.5 p.m. when I was eating my yogurt bowl, at 12.5 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 the 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 pause 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
