Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of When Reality Hits.

Before we get started with our fabulous guest this week, I wanted to talk a little bit about

the California, Los Angeles wildfires. It's been absolutely devastating here.

We didn't have an episode last week because there's

just so much stuff going on. So I want to apologize for that, but I feel like everybody

sees in the news how devastating it's been here in L.A. And me personally, I'm very grateful

to be able to still be in my home right now. We were on evacuation watch for three days straight.

I was really scary to wake up in the morning and see all the smoke everywhere outside.

And, you know, we didn't know what was going to happen for us.

But I just want to sit all my prayers and love to everybody that's been, you know,

involved in these fires and everybody that's lost their homes and their businesses.

I'm just so, so sorry.

And, you know, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

So I think it's time to introduce our guests.

We have the wonderful and fabulous Leva on the episode today.

She is from Southern Char and Southern Hospital hospitality. Hello, how are you?

Hi, good. How are you? Just as I start to get like empathetic tears, I'm like, oh, the people.

I know. I'm such a cry baby when I think about like kids and families and stuff. I'm just like literally like,

okay, Brittany.

It's been really hard here.

And like I'm kind of like my voice is a little shaky because I could tell.

That's why I got emotional.
