That's awesome. Okay, We're gona do a quick bonus episode.
You ready. Okay, If you guys haven't heard the full
episode with Megan pipe Is On that we did on Monday,
you've got to tune in. She is on Sesame Street.
You are a ventriloquist puppeteer. You've been doing this since
you were ten. You're a huge manifestor. You're a voice
(01:31):
for women and young girls. You are truly just a
light to this world. You're using all the gifts that
God gave you music, performance, puppeteer. Is it ever called puppeteering?
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I say say it all time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I mean, just like you're just so creative, You're full
of light, you're full of play, and you're changing the world.
And our conversation was so inspiring. Him a new album
dropping June six, which is awesome and so exciting and
so draw off some cards. So I'm just gonna kind
of point to one and tell me when stop.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, I already see the one I want.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Which one?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Kay, it's towards the middle. It's a big, big one
in the middle.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Okay. What's one thing about yourself you're genuinely proud of?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Mm hmm. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'm debating between two two both. I am genuinely proud
of my joy.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I'm able to have.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Joy and hope and even in bad circumstances, I'm able
to see the light and see the optimism and a situation.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So I'm really.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Really proud of that. And I'm also proud of my
creativity of being able to make anything the mundane interesting,
just like you know that I did a financial literacy
project for kids and was able to make budgets fun
and interesting. So yeah, I love joy and creativity.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
What do you think allows you to keep your joy
in hard times and your creativity when things are boring? Like?
What is that source?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I would say the source of my joy comes from
I would say the source of my joy comes from
faith and knowing that we are loved by something bigger
(03:42):
that wants the best for us. And so even in
hard circumstances, there there is something greater that wants us
to live our best lives and our best selves. And
so I know that any heart, situation, feeling, moment is temporary,
and so I can have joy.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So true to remember that it's temporary. Like everything's temporary, Yeah,
the good and the bad and the amazing and the sad, like,
it's like, it's all temporary. So if you are resting
your your whole joy in an emotion, it's gonna be fleeting.
So when you put it in something that isn't fleeting,
like a faith, then nothing can really take it away.
(04:24):
That is very wise, but actually like letting living that
out is as hard to do.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, you summarize that will almost like I need to
have that one out to mess up leading.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Okay, let's do it. Let's make another one. Okay, I'm
just gonna tell me to stop that one.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This one okay, well.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Right hair, the one before it, this one, yeah, okay,
I'm gonna do both since they both I'm gonna pull
this one. Okay. What's something you find embarrassing?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Oh, there, there's a lot of embarrassing things in my life.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I mean, I'm a ventuloquiz.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
It's not that normal and it's a little.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Off, especially traditional ventulocus when.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You think of, you know, the puppets, the big wooden
figures with the kind of like Chuckie style dolls. That's
sometimes that's what people think of when I tell them
I'm a ventuloquiz, and guilty, I have had some really
creepy puppets. So not only did I have some creepy puppets,
I also took J. C.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Penny's pictures with them as my marketing as my marketing photos.
So yeah, I'm a little embarrassed to that.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
My mom helped me break that embarrassment because she blew
up a twenty x thirty picture of one of them
and put it in her classroom.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You got a proud mom. You gotta love mama for that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
She texted me a picture of it, and I said, Mom,
why didn't you use a recent picture, like you could
have used anything other than my thirteen year old bracest
picture with a you know, and.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Tacey pennies and we had matching sweaters. It was, it
was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And so she was like, well, Megan, most of my
kids are around the same age as you were when
you started, so I figured it would inspire them of
where what.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
It looks like to start. It was like, okay, that
that makes me fool.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That is very true. Yeah, I bet that does inspire
those kids in your mom's class. Yeah, okay, so now
you feel good about it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I should have thrown them away?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No, no, no, no, okay. Last question, what's something you
lost or misplaced that you still think about?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Wow, something I've lost or misplaced? I still think.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
About, I immediately think of my grandmother. So she was
my biggest fan in one of my best friends. So
on the days I would spend with her, we would
just sit in the living room and chat and I
play her piano. She was a pianist but didn't play anymore,
so I would play for her. And she loved my puppets,
(07:10):
and so I would perform and tell jokes for them,
and she would help me like make their clothes and
style them all.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It was just a lot of fun. And so there
were a couple of things that she gave me that
whenever I looked at.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Them, I just remembered our friendship and how she was
the one that inspired me to keep going when it
was really hard, because piano it's really hard.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's challenging, it's frustrating.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I wanted to quit all the time, and I think
she could sense in her you know, her wisdom, that
I wanted to quit, and she would ask me to
play the song over and over again, as if like
she really loved it, but really she was probably just
getting me to practice.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's amazing though, like your grandma keeping play, keeping it playful.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So she would sit and play with me, and whenever
I look at that bracelet, I remember our moment.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I didn't know where it is.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's gonna pop up now. I feel like you know,
once you like think about something and sometimes it just
shows up.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, I think it's at my parents' house, but that's
you know, like going into a museums.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So do your parents save everything everything?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
There's there's some things that my mom has called me
about that she saved from second third grade projects everything.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I of love that. So you've got very supportive, proud parents.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, I'm very grateful for them and try not to
put so much pressure on myself to be exactly how
wonderful they were with my kids.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That's amazing. Well, can you tell everyone what you have
going on and where to find you because you have
a lot going on. That's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
