Drew & Chip on Turning 50 & Joanna on Learning to Move Forward

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/QDyW4AMHgiuA

Drew: And you're gonna turn 50 any second now, right? Me too.

Chip: November 14^th.

Drew: February, which I'm really excited about.

Chip: Are you? Okay I feel opposite.

Drew: Okay, why?

Chip: I don't, I don't know that there's a real obvious

Joanna: You’re just so like young at heart.

Chip: Yeah, I guess in my, in my mind's eye, Peter Pan never turned 50. You know what I mean? When you've got this Peter Pan syndrome and you've always evaluated yourself through a, like a childlike lens, then it's just like, how does that sort of coexist with a 50 year old reality? I don't know. I'm just, I feel sort of like conflicted. Now I will say, you know, I just ammadly in love with my five beautiful kids, madly in love with Jo. It’s 21 years that we've been together and, and even through.

Drew: That is so refreshing. But I think that the pressure is so self-imposed and I'm starting to let go a little bit and I have not known how to let go. I am like white knuckle monkey claw. Nothing is gonna get out of that grip.

Chip: So I feel like you, you've been through a little bit of that.

Joanna: Yeah I mean, that's, I feel like my whole life is just how do I predict? How do we control? I don't want surprises. And then of course, I married Chip who is all about surprises and spontaneity.  And, you know, so I've learned, especially as I've gotten older that it's just more fun to let go to. It's one thing to try to control and try to make sure just because I think we all feel short on time and there's so much we're trying to accomplish. But at the end of the day when I look back, I wanna remember the moments, I wanna remember that I enjoyed them and like back in the day, I wouldn't step forward unless everything aligned and it was perfect. And then that was like my sign to move forward. But what I learned along the way is that you just move forward, then I feel like I can really do anything. I've got this man to my left that I feel like I believe I can conquer the world because he's like my biggest cheerleader. And if I fail, well, guess what, I'll learn, I'll be better on the next time. So for me, it's just, I love this idea of, we just have to move forward, like set aside comparison, set aside fear and all the things, those are real things. But if you start moving forward, that stuff, I kind of always visualize it, visualize it as it's like falling off my back. I'm gonna move forward and that's the power. That's, that's what gets you to the next place.

Chip & Joanna Gift Drew Her Own Pair of Skates

Chip: We did come bearing gifts today.

Drew: Is it the key to your house?

Chip: Giant key to our house. Can you imagine, like the key to the city? This is the key to the farm. So we love you. We think you're great and we have brought you a little something from Jo's heart and from Waco, Texas. Although as I'm saying, all this, you would assume a goat would maybe pop out of here or maybe a child of ours, but this is, neither of these are accurate.

Joanna: It's just this idea as mothers like, how do we stay playful? How do we stay free?

How do we have fun? So I just wanted to celebrate that with you.

Drew: This is coming at such an important time. I mean, it's perfect. You can see the logo of our show. Of course, you nailed the color so cute. You literally nail colors. You are such a maven at color.
