Brand trips, a major career first, a big life change, and a few dating disasters… somehow, that’s only scratching the surface of the last few months. It’s been a minute since we’ve done a solo…

And I was like, hey, what the hell has happened in the last month or two that we can fully recap and dive into? First and foremost, can we please just talk about the World Cup? That was the most insane month of my entire life.

The fact that I got invited to not one, not two, but three World Cups at SoFi Stadium.

I should have just pitched a tent in that parking lot, okay? That was so freaking fun and so insane.

And I've never really fully, like, hand to God, I'm going to be honest with you, didn't know much about soccer.

I do know a decent amount now because I was very much sat at these games and I was locked in.

I felt a bit like a bandwagon fan and a bit like an imposter when I first started going.

And then I was like, no, like this is an opportunity for me to fully dive into the sport and just get to know the players, get to know the game.

And my biggest thing, and maybe just because I'm an empath, I love the people, the crowds work.

absolutely unbelievable like seeing every single person so genuinely in love with the players and the game itself it just reignited a passion for me for sport that I haven't had in a while and I feel like yes gymnastics has that but there's something so much deeper when it's your roots and your culture and your country and us as Americans like because I feel like a bought into the american dream and the culture and everything like we're all kind of bringing our cultures into this melting pot right it's so cool that like it was this mega melting pot and everyone was coming in from all over the world and they got to experience our culture and like guys the freaking ranch thing was so funny like TSA being like y'all you cannot travel with ranch in your bag we're gonna take it like it was just so hysterical like the funniest little memes and things that came from social media and just these cultural moments was just like top tier and then don't even get me started about Norway you guys know I'm like the biggest fan of Norway and I am getting now merch from like I just got a custom jersey from Man City and haul in place for Man City so y'all already know like that's the next dream is to go to a Man City game I want to be there.

If I keep talking about it, we're going to run out of time, and I have way too much to cover.
