Now let’s go live Big. Hello, everyone. Welcome. Betsy [00:00:34]:Welcome to the Art of Living Big. If you have been here for a long time, hi. It’s good to see you. I hope things are going well. If you’re new here, I’m excited that you’re here with us, so. Okay, so I have a couple things to talk about today. A couple things are just random things that I wanted to tell you. Okay. Betsy [00:00:53]:One. One of those is about two months ago, two months ago, maybe three months ago, I needed a new mattress. I kept finding I was waking up and, like, my back was so out of whack, I had to go to the chiropractor. And after, like, the third week in a row of going to the chiropractor, I was like, this is not normal for me. I’m not, like, a person that typically has to go to the chiropractor. And I realized that my bed, you know, when your mattress just gets shot. And I felt like I was hanging on for dear life. Like, I had fallen into, like, a middle. Betsy [00:01:29]:And in the middle of the night, I woke up one night, like, gripping the side of the bed, like, so that I didn’t fall into the hole. And I was like, oh, my God, my mattress is dead. And it is hard to figure out what mattress to get. I know that sounds dumb. As soon as I said that, it’s hard. It. It can be hard. It’s hard because so many of the things you buy online and they say that they’ll deliver them and then come pick them up if you don’t like them. Betsy [00:01:56]:I don’t know. That just feels, like, a lot and kind of scary. But also, I don’t think you can just go to a store and lay on a mattress and be like, oh, this is the thing. Like, you gotta sleep on it. Right? So I asked one of my girlfriends, and she said, oh, I have a purple mattress. Do you guys know that? Have you seen the purple mattress? It always seemed really hokey to me, like a gimmick. You know what I mean? But she said, oh, my God, I love my purple mattress. In fact, I love it so much, I bought it for all three of my kids. Betsy [00:02:25]:So then I Was like, you did? And she was like, yeah. And when I go away on vacation, I always, even if it’s like the most comfortable hotel bed, I always miss my bed. So then I was like, what? I give me a purple bed. I bought a purple bed. She told me, give it a couple weeks because it takes a couple weeks to get used to it. No, no. Like, the first night I was like, this is the most amazing bed I’ve ever had. It. Betsy [00:02:56]:It. It’s amazing. I didn’t buy the most expensive one and I didn’t buy the cheapest one. I bought the one right in the middle. So I’m telling you that I just bought like the plain old purple bed, but not like the minimalist purple bed. And it is so good. It is like these little grids. The mattress is like, I don’t know, it’s like these little grids and you can almost feel them. Betsy [00:03:21]:When you lay in bed and you, like, rub your feet against the mattress, you can almost feel the grid. Which, I know it probably doesn’t sound like a good thing, but I don’t know, there’s something magical about it.
