Oh hey y’all! 👋🏼🎙️ I’ve got a new episode for ya. It’s a life update, a recap of our Carley hike in Austria, and an intro to a new, mini show I’ll be doing this fall + winter with my pal and roomie, Kate Terry.  TX Forever presents… Swift Nation Football! 👱🏻‍♀️🏈   Are you a gal that wants to get more sporty? Are you already a football fan but mostly just wanna know the highlights? Are you a Taylor Swift fan but don’t like the full Swiftie label? Do you feel politically homeless in the Taylor Swift vs. NFL debate? Do you like hot takes? Sports? Music? This show is for you! After a silly TikTok we made last year went kinda viral (capping at 1.8 million views), Kate and I took it as sign that we should start a podcast and set the record straight. Are you… Ready For It?  @txforeverpod @monicamoser

This title was inspired by the last episode Carley and I recorded together: Love Letters with Lorraine. Earlier this year, I asked our guests and listeners to send in a “letter” to Carley in the form of a voice message.  Took me a bit to finish this episode because sometimes these messages are too much, and sometimes they’re so helpful and make me really happy ya know? It was really cathartic to listen to these - thanks so much for sending in your letters to all who did 🫶🏼 If you'd like to send in one for part 2, email a voice memo to [email protected].  Stay connected on IG: @txforeverpod, @monicamoser, @rutledgecancer 

Today, we share “The Interruptus.” I sat down at my mic (after weeping to the Season 4 finale of One Tree Hill) and verbally processed what losing Carley has been like. Carley’s brother Grant, our audio engineer, also shares what this show has meant to him. You’ll also hear my eulogy at the end. I decided to place the entirety of my friend Kevin Kelly’s song “Soon” to open it, as it’s meant so much to recently. I think it sounds like Carley talking right to me, talking to us. I’m learning loss doesn’t get any easier — you don’t get used it. It just becomes more a part of who you are. ***I definitely want to place trigger warning on this episode — it’s raw and you might be want to be somewhere private when you listen. Love you Carley. I know I’ll be seeing ya soon. -Monica ---- Link to full memorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK9znc6ZIAc&t=1s https://rutledgecancerfoundation.org/
