Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance at the Hilton Honors app the other day. And yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive even for me. Just kidding. You can never have too many Hilton Honors points. And I want to do something iconic this summer. So I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton Honors member and I might be sending you Paris points because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to our 23rd episode of our Love All Podcast. I'm very excited to get another week under our belts.
It's been a slower week, I feel like, in Tennis Bear, but we still have enough fun topics to talk about. How are you doing? I see you're still home.

**Blair Henley** (1:21)
I am still home. Tennis never sleeps, Kim, though. So there's always something to talk about. It is funny, though, because friends who still don't quite know what I do for a living, they're like, wait, so you can talk about tennis all year round? I'm like, yes, you can.

**Kim Clijsters** (1:36)
Welcome to the tennis world.

**Blair Henley** (1:38)
No joke. But was getting back into normal everyday life after being at the Hall of Fame, which we talked about last week, but good to get back in the flow for a few weeks before Sinse and then the US Open for me. Those are my next two road trips, which I feel like maybe it's because you know this, Kim, like when you have kids, it's like you are the number of things that have to get done before certain things happen.
It makes time feel like it flies by. I'm like, Cincinnati might as well start tomorrow in my mind because there's so much that has to get done before that.

**Kim Clijsters** (2:17)
Blair, I think we've talked about this off air, but I used to have like mom guilt before I had to leave, and I used to fill the fridge up, like prepare meals so I could put them in the freezer. I would come home like a week later, two weeks later, and nothing was touched. And I was like, wait, I stressed out like these days prior, my departure and nothing gets used. I was like, okay.

**Ella** (2:39)
And everyone ate chicken nuggets.

**Kim Clijsters** (2:41)
Yes, and they survived. So I guess, yeah, that's been a big lesson learned that I don't need to stress over mom guilt.

**Blair Henley** (2:49)
I know you're still at your grandmother's house. How is Euro life and is there anything you miss about...
Obviously, the US is home these days, so that is your home. But is there anything you specifically miss about the US or is there anything you're loving about being in Europe?

**Kim Clijsters** (3:06)
I mean, I'm really loving being in Europe. And I catch myself saying like, I'm going home to Belgium when I was in the States. And now, like, I can't wait to go back home as well, back to America. I've really missed air conditioning these last few weeks.

**Ella** (3:22)
You are not alone.

**Kim Clijsters** (3:23)
I grew up, you know, I was brought up by, you know, my parents and grandmothers, grandfathers who were saying like, no, air conditioning is so bad. They didn't even want to put it on the car because it gives you a cold and the air is bad for you and it gives you a stiff neck and all that stuff. And so, yeah, but I miss it. Like I miss falling asleep in a cold room.
But yeah, I just miss being home too. Like just my own kitchen, my bed and our kind of normal routine. But it's been really nice like seeing my family members. And I still have a grandma. So she's the great grandma to my kids. And it's been really nice to just hang out and have them experience what my childhood was like as well. So it's been a nice balance, but I feel like I'm ready to go home. But we're still here for a few more weeks. So not yet.
