Maybe it was after a long trip or a year-long tour of duty. Maybe it's every time you return to your childhood home for the holidays. Whatever the cause of absence and wherever the return we've all experienced, the truth in the line from the David Fincher movie, The Curious Case, Benjamin Button. It's a funny thing about coming home, he says. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You realize what's changed is you.

That's the thing about life. Even as things seemingly stay the same, everything is always changing. Marcus Aurelius speaks beautifully of life as a river's unending flow. Borrowing from Heraclitus the Stoax knew that no man ever steps in the same river twice for it is not the same river and he is not the same man. All is change, including us. You have changed as you've listened to this, even as a few seconds ticked by. Every experience, everything you read or watch, every conversation you take part in, indeed,

every minute that passes changes you. And yet for all this change, we must continuously return to the timeless principles that remain the same, like those famous stoic practitioners who invariably studied stoicism until their final breaths. Towards the end of his life, for example, Marcus Aurelius was still reminding himself, keep returning to it. That's why we read and reread meditations, letters of a stoic and discourses. That's why you are in year two or three or four or five of reading the daily Stoic and listening to this podcast. Though the books, the figures, the lessons never change, you always do. And in this way, you are stepping into this familiar river of wisdom.

I'm just the name of you. Now, I've held so many occupations over the years that my fans lovingly nicknamed me Kiki Keep a Bag Palmer. And trust me, I keep a Bag Love. But if you ask me, I'm just getting started. And there's so much I still want to do. So I decided I want to be a podcast host. I'm proud to introduce you to the Baby Mrs. Kiki Palmer podcast. I'm putting my friends, family, and some of the dopest experts in the hot seat to ask them the questions that have been burning in my

mind. What will former child stars be if they weren't actors? What happened to sitcoms? It's only fans, only bad. I want wanna know. So I asked my mom about it. These are the questions that keep me up at night. But I'm taking these questions out of my head and I'm bringing them to you. Because on Baby This Is Kiki Palmer, no topic is off limits.
