Speaker 3: your family has been so wonderful to me in so
66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,760

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: Chloe Firestivall.
68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: She loves you. She's where I first became aware of
69
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: you from Chloe sending videos and clips of some of
70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: the really positive things that you put out there in
71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: the universe. And we have a positivity chat for our
72
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: family and so we put really sweet things to get
73
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: us in good moods and motivated and start our day
74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: in a really good space. And so you're in there
75
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot o.
76
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: I love that. That makes me happy. Yeah, And she
77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: was the first, and then I recently connected to the
78
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: Candle and she came on the show and it was
79
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: just beautiful how openly she sard. And then that led
80
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: to me meeting your mom at the People's Choice Awards
81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: and then having dinner with her recently, and I was
82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: just I want to say this because I think people
83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: just don't.
84
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,280

00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Sorry, no tattle Tuesday, tattle free Tuesday.
87
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.
88
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm getting it. I don't want to get in trouble.
89
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: Your mum had been nicest thing. So my wife, my
90
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: wife wasn't there with me, but we're both vegan, and
91
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: so she had Chloe's chef make us a vegan meal.
92
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.
93
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 3: And I was saying to you earlier that I literally
94
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: felt like I was at my friend's mom's house. Like
95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 3: that's how she made me feel, really beautiful feelings.
96
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: So she is the best. She's so warm. She just
97
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: loves everyone to feel welcomed. She makes sure everyone is
98
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: thought of. And that's one of my favorite qualities of
99
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: her that I will never get over and never forget
100
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: and always it's just how she makes people feel.
101
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I hope you feel very welcome and safe today.
102
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: I do.
103
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 3: I don't want to dive right in. I was thinking
104
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: about this. You've been traveling so much lately. I feel
105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: from what I see on Instagram, like you've been to
106
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: Paris and Japan and London, and then you're going to
107
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: be starting to shoot for the new show, and I
108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: just feel like you're always on the move. I wonder
109
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: when was the last time you went somewhere where someone
110
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: didn't know who you were or actually, was there a
111
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: moment where someone said to you, who are you? What
112
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: do you do? Like? When was the last time you
113
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: had an interaction like that? You know what?
114
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: In Japan it's like that. You know, everyone's really respectful,
115
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: even if they might recognize you, they don't ask for photos,
116
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: and it's a really amazing experience. I think it's important,
117
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, just to listen. I love my life. I
118
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: love everything that comes along with it. I am not complaining,
119
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: but a little glimpse of that, I think, especially for
120
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: the little ones, is so good.
121
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, no's that's definitely a beautiful experience. I think it's
122
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: nice for everyone to feel wanted and loved and then
123
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: also feel unseen. Yeah, like we almost crave both of those.
124
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it today. You're always surrounded by
125
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: film crews, and you know, you have like three hundred
126
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: and fifty two million people that follow you on Instagram.
127
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: I wonder do you ever do you prioritize time alone?
128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Do you get time alone? And what does that look like?
129
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: I do? I get up really early. My morning workout
130
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: is my I don't want to say therapy session because
131
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: it's not like I'm really communicating things. But even if
132
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: I'm quiet and I'm in my zone, that's my mental
133
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: health check. Every morning. I love my workout. It keeps
134
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: me sane. I can't say that enough. That's my time
135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: in the morning. Then as soon as everyone starts to
136
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: get up for school, the madness happens, and it's about
137
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: two hours of madness from getting four kids ready in
138
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: the morning, fed out the door to school. I drop
139
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: off school every day, and then I have a little
140
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: bit of time i'd say about twenty minutes driving back
141
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: where I just blast my music. I don't take any calls.
142
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: That's my alone time. I love it. And then I
143
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: get to the house and I start my full work
144
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: day and I'm committed and focused, and then the madness
145
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: of bad time, bedtime, dinner time, and once four babies
146
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: are asleep, and I just cherish that time at night
147
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: when everyone sleep and I can watch whatever show I
148
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: want and just have some alone time. So I do
149
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: take the time for myself. I think it's really important.
150
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, you said something beautiful before we started recording,
151
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: and I definitely want to go in that direction because
152
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: you were talking about the different platforms and how you
153
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: can show different parts of yourself, but you came here
154
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: because there was something specific, and I'd love to hear
155
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: that because I want to go in that direction with you.
156
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: I love your podcast. I've seen it and i've seen
157
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I think I just love seeing the reels that pop
158
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: up with just a quick message that'll get you through
159
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: the day, that will remind you who you are, remind
160
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: you what you need to come across and see at
161
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: that moment in that day and carry you through the day.
162
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.
163
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: So I think it's important for people to express like
164
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: how they feel and who they are a little bit
165
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: deeper and what's in their heart. And I think that's
166
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: kind of what this podcast is about.
167
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think, thank you for trusting me. I
168
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: really do value this and I don't take it for granted.
169
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: But the interesting thing there is, I feel like there's
170
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: a beautiful statement in Japanese culture says that we have
171
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: three faces. One face we show to the world, the
172
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: second face we show to our friends and family, and
173
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: the third face no one sees. And I wonder, when
174
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: you're talking about your values and who you are, what's
175
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: the part of you that you think no one gets
176
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: to see in all these other places that you want
177
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: to share today.
178
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: I definitely think I show all my faces, but I
179
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: do think that people pick and choose what they want
180
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: to take from you. I do share journeys of mine
181
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: that have been challenges, whether it's like law school and
182
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: different projects and how starting a business and all of that.
183
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: It definitely weave that in throughout. But I think that
184
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: anytime you have the opportunity to express yourself in a
185
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: more meaningful way, I think it's always a good thing
186
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: to do, especially since I'm just a big fan of
187
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: you and what you represent and who you are. So
188
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: I always love to share my tips and anything that
189
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: I've learned along the way, because God knows, it is
190
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: not easy. Yeah, Like parenting is so hard, family dynamics, relationships,
191
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: it is so hard.
192
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: It's really interesting you say that, because when I was
193
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: speaking to your mum, she was saying that about you.
194
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: She was saying that you're the person that for anyone
195
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: in your family, no matter how busy you are, you'll
196
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 3: go completely out of your way. She was telling me
197
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: about a particular incident, but she was just saying that
198
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 3: you will just dive in book everyone on the flight,
199
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: get everyone there, get to that person, help them, support them,
200
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 3: and even when it's someone who's not directly connected to
201
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: you but is indirectly connected. And yeah, I'm sure you
202
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about, but the idea of just
203
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: you reached that far out. And when I was hearing
204
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: that about you from her, I was thinking that that
205
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: takes so much compassion and care from your side, And
206
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: those are not two words that on some of the
207
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: other platforms that people may care about you. But that's
208
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: what I'm getting talking to your mother about you. And
209
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: I wonder how have you. I feel family is the
210
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: cause for so much stress for people. It's the cause
211
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: for so much anxiety for people, And as you said,
212
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: it's hard, how have you continued to lean in to
213
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: compassion and care even when it's easier to compare and
214
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: criticize and complain.
215
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Well with family, I mean I was always raised like,
216
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: no matter what, blood is thicker than water, there's no
217
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: other options. So we definitely go through our things as sisters.
218
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: There's no other options, Like we will work it out,
219
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: like we are family, we are sisters. We will figure
220
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: it out. And I think you just have to. I
221
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: think also more compassion comes with age and the more
222
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: things that you've been through and especially I think my
223
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: heart has opened up so much in that space, just
224
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: spending time even with people behind bars that I'm fighting
225
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: for and I might not have even had the slightest
226
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: idea of what someone's gone through or even understood taking
227
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: the time to listen to people more than maybe speaking
228
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: and making it about yourself, and my compassion has just
229
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: grown and my empathy has grown on another level. You
230
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: can't really judge people for their pace on when they
231
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: choose to really want to dig deep into their own
232
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: compassion and empathy and when people choose to grow and evolve,
233
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: But it's so nice to have people that support that
234
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: journey and grow with you, because once you realize that
235
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: this life really isn't about you and it's about helping
236
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: as many people as you can, all these doors open
237
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: up for you and your mind just opens up, and
238
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: it's a really great place to be when you feel
239
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: like you have enough would chase things for so long
240
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: and when you just feel content, it's such a good
241
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: place to be and it's such an like allows for
242
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: so much more compassion.
243
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: I think, and I want everyone to go back and
244
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: listen to that part. I feel like you just beautifully
245
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: defined compassion, And I'm going to try and reiterate what
246
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: you just said. Yeah, it was just it was so
247
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: well said, because I think people think about compassion as care,
248
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: and you just defined it by pace, and I think
249
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: when you're patient for the pace at which people grow
250
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: and evolve, that actually is compassion.
251
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing worse when someone is like so woke and
252
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: they they're on this therapy journey and they expect you
253
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: to be right there with them. But it's a beautiful
254
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: thing to sit back and watch people make mistakes, learn
255
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: from their mistakes, grow and evolve, and just be there
256
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: to hold their hand and support them. I think that's
257
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: what anyone would want. I've seen so many people on
258
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: these like self help journeys that just aren't as happy,
259
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, And I think you just have to like
260
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: sit back and do what works for you and move
261
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: at your own pace and understand that it's okay that
262
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: you're not at the same level as someone else.
263
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.
264
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just such a like everything happens the
265
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to do. I love just people in
266
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: their own journeys and I never try to be so
267
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: preachy or to think that someone has to be in
268
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: my place and at the level where I've evolved too.
269
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: It's great when your friends have the same kind of
270
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: epiphanies as you and you want the same things. But
271
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: then sometimes it's just not like that.
272
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, definitely. You brought two things to my mind.
273
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: One was what real love is like when you really
274
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: love your family. You don't love them because they change. Yeah,
275
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: your patient with them as they try to change. That's
276
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: what love is, because they may or may never get
277
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: to the other side. And the other thing that came
278
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: to mind is something my teachers would often tell me,
279
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: my Monk teaches. They would often repeat to me that
280
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 3: you're never trying to get someone to the next step
281
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 3: in your journey. You're trying to get them to the
282
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: next step in their journey.
283
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.
284
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: And I think you're so right that when we're doing
285
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: self work, we are constantly preaching to other people about
286
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: the things we want to hear, yeah, and the things
287
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: we want to do.
288
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. And like self work can just be so different
289
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: for so many people, you know, Like my morning workouts,
290
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: I swear that's my self work. My drive in the
291
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: car every day, blasting whatever music I want to like,
292
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: that is my meditation that's my zone and that works
293
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: for me. You know, when I need help and I
294
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: need help figuring out different parenting things and different methods
295
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: that I can use, I will reach out and get
296
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: the help that I need when I need it, for sure.
297
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: But I also think there's just there's no like right
298
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: method of what works for everyone. You know, It's like
299
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: whatever works for you, you good for you.
300
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely. And I feel like when people
301
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: see you, and even even now you're talking, you have
302
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: so much trust in yourself or trust in your inner voice.
303
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean I don't believe you're saying I always
304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: get it right or this is the only way. What
305
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: you're actually saying is I've learned to trust my voice.
306
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: And I wonder was there a time when you didn't
307
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: trust that voice and or can you remember the first
308
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: time where you started to hear it? Like I remember,
309
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: the first time I've really started to hear my voice
310
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: deeply was probably when I was fourteen years old, and
311
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: that's when I could hear this voice inside of myself
312
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: that was like, Jay, this is who you are, this
313
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: is what you care about, this is what matters to you.
314
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: You don't need to be this or be that or
315
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: do it this way? And I remember I started listening
316
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: to it then and now that in a voice is
317
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: really loud. Yeah, it's always there.
318
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: But I wish i'd listened to my inner voice at fourteen.
319
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: Do you remember when you first started like, because when
320
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm speaking, he's doing you Now you're just like, yeah, Like,
321
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: I'm very comfortable with people being themselves and I'm comfortable
322
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: with who I are, which is beautiful. But when did that?
323
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: I feel so many people want to live that way,
324
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: but that's the thing we all struggle with.
325
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: It definitely didn't come right away. You know. I was
326
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: a people pleaser and I would make decisions based off
327
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: of other people's happiness for so long, and I would say, honestly,
328
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: in the last few years, definitely at forty, you know,
329
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: I figured it out of just following my happiness, which
330
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: was really, I think an important place for me to
331
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: get to because I always put other people's happiness over
332
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: my own. And it doesn't mean you disregard other people's feelings,
333
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: and it doesn't mean you don't care and you don't
334
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: love them, but it is a great place to be
335
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: when you finally put yourself first. And I will say
336
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: that took a long time, and that was like relying
337
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: on other people for confidence in business decisions. And it's
338
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: great to have your team and to always like bounce
339
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: ideas and make sure that you're collectively picking the right
340
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: choice and work thing for you. But true confidence where
341
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: you feel you're making the right decisions, you know you
342
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: got it. You are thinking about yourself first, and not
343
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: just in a selfish way, but like in a protecting
344
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: your heart way. It feels really good and I might
345
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: not have gotten there until I was literally forty.

Speaker 3: And what do you think it was about the last
356
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: few years where you had to tend towards that that
357
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: pushed you there.
358
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: I've never been an unhappy person. I'm always really happy
359
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: with my surroundings. I don't need people to make me happy.
360
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really ever searching for something. I'm really content.
361
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: My babies make me happy, my family, my life, you know,
362
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: experiences make me happy. But when you just look around
363
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: and when there's like tension and stress that is just
364
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: not necessary from work, from relationships, from friendships, and you
365
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: just decide to be still and not try to please everyone,
366
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: it becomes just really clear, and you realize that you
367
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: just want to be happy and you want to share
368
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: this life, and that these experiences with your group of
369
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: people that you trust and you love and who are
370
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: super loyal. Like life is always going to be stressful
371
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: and you can't control half of it. But if you
372
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: can control what you put out and how you react
373
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: to all of life's stresses and your response to all
374
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: of that, and realizing that you could eliminate a lot
375
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: of those stresses with making yourself happy first and choosing yourself,
376
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: then you know you're on the right path. And once
377
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: I did that, and once I chose to choose myself
378
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: and be happy, so many opportunities just opened up, things
379
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: that I never thought in a million years would come
380
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: my way. It seemed like clear as day that the
381
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: universe was rewarding me for choosing myself and like elevating,
382
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: like getting to the next level in the video game,
383
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: like I had to get here, and I was always
384
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: like here, just in my growth process, and once I
385
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: chose myself, it was like, oh my god, the whole
386
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: the universe is opening up for you, and all these
387
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: opportunities are coming my way. And those were the confirmations
388
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: that I was heading in the right direction. I remember
389
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: saying that to one of my sisters. I was like,
390
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, it is so crazy. I got this opportunity,
391
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: this opportunity, this is changing, this is changing, and it
392
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: seemed like all these amazing things started to happen in
393
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: my life. When I just took a second, was still realized,
394
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm trying to make everyone happy. I'm
395
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: doing all this stuff for everyone else but myself. Let
396
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: me just like pull back a second focus on myself,
397
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: and then it seemed like everyone else was happier because
398
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: everything was just falling into place. And that was like
399
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: I saw it clear as day. And that would like
400
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: push me and motivate me to continue to just be
401
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: happy and do what I wanted to do instead of
402
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: what other people wanted to do. And that was like,
403
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: it was like a good feeling. It really like showed
404
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: me that I was making the right decisions.
405
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 3: I'm so happy for you. Thank you genuinely and dad.
406
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: A good place to be when you're genuinely a happy person.
407
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: You know. Complaints, Yeah, not taking things too seriously. Not
408
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: taking yourself too seriously is also a little key to happiness.
409
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the energy that gets lost in worrying
410
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: about something versus working towards fixing it or solving it.
411
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, can just worrying the worrying. If you worry about something,
412
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: it's not going to change the outcome. Let's just come
413
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: up with a solution. Like, let's say what the problem is.
414
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Not complain. I'm not a complainer, So it's like, let's
415
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: just get to the solution, let's figure it out, and
416
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: let's move on. Absolutely nothing worse when you complain every
417
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: step of the way.
418
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's and it's natural and it's easy, but
419
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 3: it we all know it doesn't get you to where
420
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: you want to go. And I think that's that's a
421
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: big reason. What's the uh? I wonder with what you
422
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: were saying. One of the big things that comes out
423
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: as you're talking about family and people in your life
424
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: and you talked about your life is chat like, there's
425
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: this loyalty is such a big value for you, Yeah,
426
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: across your life, it seems. Yeah, what have you learned
427
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: about people that you wish you learned sooner? Was there
428
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: something that you started to learn and recognize patterns in
429
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: people and that has made you better now? But you
430
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: wish like if I learned this a couple of years
431
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: sooner than it could have saved me a lot of
432
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: distress and challenges that came up.
433
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: Don't take anything personally. I've been really blessed to have
434
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: really great, solid relationships. I have the same group of
435
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: best friends. We went to preschool together. We talk every
436
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: single day. My best friend is my best friend since
437
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: the day I grow up, you know, when I was born.
438
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: The people I work with my family, my sisters, but
439
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: my best friend's sisters also, you know, and everyone I
440
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: trust one hundred percent. Everyone is so loyal one hundred percent.
441
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: You can come up to me and tell me something
442
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: about one of my friends. If someone were to say, oh,
443
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: this person said this about you and they're in my circle,
444
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: I would be absolutely not like I would trust that
445
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And I think that's so rare, or
446
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: what I've seen is so rare, And I just feel
447
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: so lucky to just love everyone around you. Trust everyone
448
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: around you. They trust you. My friends know they can
449
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: call me any hour. I'll be the first one to
450
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: pick up and help. All of my friends would drop
451
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: everything to help me in a situation. And to have
452
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: that real support and love I think is everything in
453
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: life to have loyal, supportive people around you. And I
454
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: think you can also tell so much about a person
455
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: that has really long standing relationships that stability. When I
456
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: look to hire people, I look at their previous jobs
457
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: and how long they've had those relationships for and think
458
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: about it. If there's someone that's bouncing from job to job,
459
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: obviously there could be other situations that come into place,
460
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: but I value people that have these long standing relationships
461
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: with people, whether it's their employer or family, and that's
462
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: super important to me to have all my friends have
463
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: really important relationships in their life.
464
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by eight Sleep. I
465
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 2: once had an old mattress that wasn't the best. It
466
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: was so uncomfortable, I swear I woke up feeling more
467
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: tired than when I went to bed. To make matters worse,
468
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 2: it seemed to trap heat, making me feel hot and
469
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: stuffy at night. Did you know that temperature is one
470
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: of the most important factors in improving your sleep quality?
471
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: When you wake up in the middle of the night
472
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: or feel extra groggy in the morning, temperature is almost
473
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: always to blame. Why while traditional mattresses trap heat throughout
474
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: the night, science has shown that your body temperature actually
475
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 2: needs to drop in the early and middle part of
476
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 2: your sleep and rise in the morning so that you
477
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: can fall asleep fast and get more deeps. The pod
478
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: cover by eight Sleep fits on any bed like a
479
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: fitted sheet.
480
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 3: The pod cover will improve your sleep by automatically adjusting
481
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: the temperature on each side of the bed based on
482
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 3: you and your partner's individual needs. It can cool down
483
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: and warm up, and adjust based on the phases of
484
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: your sleep and the environment that you're in. I got
485
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: to share with you the amazing transformation that my eight
486
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: Sleep mattress is brought to my sleep game. The comfort
487
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: level is off the charts. But that's not even the
488
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: best part.
489
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: The temperature control technology has been a total game changer
490
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: for me. It's improved the quality of my sleep in
491
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: so many ways. I wake up feeling more refreshed, energized,
492
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: and ready to take on the day. It even tracks
493
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: my sleep patterns and can be integrated into my smart
494
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 2: home system. I've never experienced sleep like this. Invest in

498
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: cooled this summer with eight Sleep now shipping within the USA, Canada,
499
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 2: the UK, select countries in the EU and Australia. I
500
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: think that says a lot about you and the family,
501
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: because I wonder what it takes to hold on to
502
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: a relationship like that when you're on a rocket ship, right.
503
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 2: I feel like all of us deal with shifts in
504
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: our life, transitions and family and friends that we want
505
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: to hold on to. But it gets harder and harder,
506
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 2: especially when there's success, when there's envy, when there's competition,
507
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's not because someone doesn't love you, it
508
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: doesn't care about you, it's so natural in the world
509
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: we live in. And so what does it really take?
510
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: Because I think this will help a lot of people,
511
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: What does it actually take to hold on to someone
512
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: you love and continue with all the noise and all
513
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: the challenges and all the stress that comes with it.
514
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: What does it actually take?
515
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: Because but theretose friends that you don't have to talk
516
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: to every day. I mean, thank god for group chats
517
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: where you can chime in and heart something really quick,
518
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, but like your real best friends will all
519
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: so support you. And but it's it takes that mutual
520
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: respect because what my friends are doing, if they have
521
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: something that's important to them, it's just as important for
522
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: me to show up for them as it is for
523
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: them to show up for me. I might have a
524
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: more colorful life and a bigger event that I'm asking
525
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: them to show up to, but it doesn't mean that
526
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: theirs isn't just as important. So I think just having
527
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: that mutual respect, treating people with respect is just a given.
528
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: I truly think someone is such a solid person when
529
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: they have really grounded relationships. Grounded and love and relationships
530
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: can be different things. You know, Sometimes you have your
531
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: group of girlfriends that you love to go on vacation with.
532
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: And then sometimes you have you know, your other friends
533
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: that you work really well with. Every relationship can be different.
534
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: If you have just a mutual respect around the across
535
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: the board, that's I think the number one thing.
536
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: It takes two. Yeah, it takes too. That's the point.
537
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 3: It's you're not going to be able to create or
538
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: falsely hold on to. It's someone who doesn't totally want
539
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: to give you that respect. Yeah, it's not going to happen.
540
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.
541
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: Well, you talked about earlier about parenting and you brought
542
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: up a few times and I wonder.
543
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: How you You don't have kids, do you?
544
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm not yet, not yet.
545
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: We'll have this conversation again when you do.
546
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely, That's what I'm asking. That's I'm asking parenting questions.
547
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: What was your vision like for what you thought parenting
548
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: was going to be like versus what it actually is.
549
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: Everyone says the days are long and the years are short,
550
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: and that couldn't be like a more true statement. So,
551
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: like when you're in it, I mean, especially when they're
552
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: babies and you're feeding and your there's madness going on.
553
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: It's like full madness. It's the best chaos though, Like
554
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: my mornings, you have no idea what's going on. It's
555
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: like I always have to do one of my daughter's
556
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: hair and it has to be perfect and it has
557
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: to be a certain way, and then this one needs
558
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: me to put his shoes on, and that they all
559
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: need you, and they all it's like full crazy madness,
560
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: cooking running around like it's it's wild. That's why I
561
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: need my workout in the morning, just to like prepare
562
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: for the two hours of craziness. I'd say parenting is
563
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: the thing that has taught me the most about myself.
564
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: It has been the most challenging thing. There are nights
565
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: I cry myself to sleep, like what just happened? You know,
566
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: with all the moods and the personalities, and sometimes they're
567
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: fighting and there's no one there, Like it's me to
568
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: play good cop and bad cops. So like that is
569
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: definitely a challenge when you know something I'm working on
570
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: is being a little bit firmer. You know, there's nothing
571
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that can prepare you anyone. Any person that says, oh
572
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: we're waiting to have x amount of money in the bank,
573
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Oh we're waiting to have a home before we have kids. Oh,
574
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for this job to come in before we
575
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: have kids. I don't care how long you wait, I
576
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: don't care what you're waiting for. You are never prepared,
577
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: but will figure it out and it will make you
578
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: so proud of yourself that you figured it out and
579
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: that you got through the day. And sometimes it's nights
580
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: where it's just we are going hour by hour to
581
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: see if we're going to survive night by night. If
582
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: a tantrum comes in, oh my god, your life is
583
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: completely upside down. But it teaches you so much more
584
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: about yourself than I think anyone any parent could have
585
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: ever anticipated. I mean, there is nights when you don't
586
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: wash your hair for days as a mom, and you
587
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: have sped up all over you and you're wearing the
588
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: same pajamas you know, and there's just nothing that can
589
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: prepare you for this experience. It is the most challenging
590
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: rewarding job on this planet.
591
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: When was a moment when you were looking into your babies'
592
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: faces and.
593
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: That I want to run away, I need to hide
594
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: for a night every night. I'm just kidding.
595
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: No, yeah, no, thank you. I mean it's honest. I
596
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 3: think there's a little bit of truth in that feeling
597
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: that a lot of parents have. What's the hardest when
598
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 3: you've been looking when you look into their faces and
599
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: you had one of these moments where you were learning
600
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 3: these lessons, What was the hardest lesson you had to
601
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: learn about yourself that made you go, WHOA, I didn't
602
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: I didn't see that before. If it wasn't for that kid,
603
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have seen that.
604
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens all the time. I always think everything
605
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: in life comes our way to really teach us something.
606
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: And it's a really hard task when you have four
607
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: kids and you know they all want to be put
608
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: to bed at the same time by the same person,
609
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: and they all want to do it individually and have
610
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: that experience, and no one wants to wait. And I'm
611
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: locked in a room with kids banging outside of the
612
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: door because they want me to put them to bed,
613
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I can't cut myself in four pieces.
614
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to schedule this out. And we're
615
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: coming up with the schedule and none of them want
616
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: to listen to the schedule, and then they all start crying.
617
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: And that's like a typical night, you know, And so
618
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: I like sit them outside of my one daughter's door,
619
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, i'll pick you up next. We're doing
620
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: this for fifteen minutes and they can't be patient and
621
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: they're banging on the door. Come on, it's been five minutes.
622
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: You know. It's like those nights are every single night,
623
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: big school projects, big things that are happening, and they
624
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: don't understand that I work, or I have a school
625
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: schedule too, or you know, stuff kids will never understand.
626
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: So I think it's just those nights when you can't
627
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: divide yourself and you have to just work with what
628
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: we have and try to bribe two of them to
629
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: get put to bed at the same time. You know,
630
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: I think unless you're a pal, like so much respect
631
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: to parents, so much respect to people also that aren't parents,
632
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: that want to live their free life enjoy it while
633
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: you can't. I was at Easter on Palm Springs and
634
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: I looked at my mom's house and she had her
635
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: table set for all of her kids, all of her grandkids,
636
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: and we're all staying in her house. And I was like,
637
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: it's a forever thing. It's not like, hey, okay, you're
638
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: eighteen and you're on your own. It's a foreverthing. And
639
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: we're in our forties and we're still coming at her
640
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: and fighting and asking my mom to resolve everything. And
641
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: I look at her and I'm like, how did you
642
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: do it? I personally can't wait for my kids to
643
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: get a little bit older. Everyone is so afraid of
644
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: the teenage phase. I'm so excited for it. Play this
645
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: back for me when they're teenagers all probably, But I
646
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: see the relationship I have with my mom, and I
647
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: knew the relationship I had with my dad, and how
648
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: comfortable we were talking to them about all of our
649
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: problems and all of our friends stuff and all of
650
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: the drama and all of the high school stuff, and
651
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: even the stuff I talk to my mom about now,
652
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: and how open I am about life and relationships and
653
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: how close we are. Even if we didn't get it
654
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: as a kid, I can look at her now and say,
655
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: I get it as a mom now as an adult. Now,
656
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: I know why you made those decisions. And I love
657
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: having that relationship. And that is why I wanted to
658
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: have four kids. I saw my mom, you know, and
659
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: my dad had four together before she had my two
660
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: little sisters, and I loved the big family. And I
661
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: always knew I wanted to have four kids, and I
662
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: just love so much our relationship with her and my grandma,
663
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: and I just can't wait to have that with my kids.
664
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: I can't wait till they're old enough to understand so
665
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: much that I can never explain to them now that
666
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: they'll get one day and we can laugh about it.
667
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 3: That's so beautiful. Yeah, you reminded me of a beautiful
668
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 3: old saying that says, the day you realize your parents
669
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: were right, your kids are telling you that you're wrong.
670
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: So true.
671
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like that idea of just your when
672
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: you're a little boy, you like adore your mom, at
673
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: least I did them until like thirteen years old. Then
674
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: you've become a teenager and you think you're too cool
675
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 3: for your mom.
676
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.
677
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: And then in my twelies back, Yeah, they have.
678
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: Like contracts with my sons. I'm like, you're never going
679
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: to leave me. We always have to be besties. You're
680
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: never going to be too cool for me, And they
681
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: always say yes, Yeah. I'm like, you can live with
682
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: me in your twenties, your thirties, never move out.
683
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: They said, Okay, they've signed the contract. Yeah, yeah, and
684
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: they have no idea.
685
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: I'll preach it. Yeah, it'll be okay.
686
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you won't see them.
687
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.
688
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 3: But the I wonder how in your position, like you know,
689
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 3: what you just described is what so many people go through,
690
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: and like you said, it's so hard for them to
691
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 3: experience that. But when you're explaining things like the paparazzi,
692
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: like you're saying that when you're in Japan, like you
693
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 3: didn't have that experience and that was so nice for
694
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: the kids, Like how do you walk them through the
695
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: nuances of the life that you lead. And I'm guessing
696
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 3: a lot of their friends also have similar lives, but
697
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure they have some friends who don't have parents
698
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: like yourselves, And so how do you help them reconcile?
699
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: What are the kind of things that you talk about
700
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: with them or what can they understand at this age
701
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: and what are you like, Well, that's just going to
702
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: have to wait.
703
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: I'll talk to my kids about anything they want to
704
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: ask me about. I am so open and honest with
705
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: my kids. I think that's the only way to be
706
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: And it could be things that they might not understand,
707
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: and I'll wait to find the appropriate time to talk
708
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: about it. I think they grew up seeing the cameras,
709
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: and they grew up seeing that even as babies, you know,
710
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: we'd walk out and there'd be paparazzi. So it's not
711
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: really something that they acknowledge a lot. But you know,
712
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: my daughter's really vocal. She'll tell them when she doesn't
713
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: want them around and to leave her alone and to stop.
714
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: And I love that they use their little voices. But
715
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: they also have such a normal life and such a
716
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: different life away from all of that too, And that's
717
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: why I love that my sisters and I all had
718
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: babies at the same time, so they can be with
719
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: each other and have these experiences together.
720
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: Absolutely, when i'm you know, there's all the words that
721
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: come out from you, like togetherness, loyalty. It's incredible to
722
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: see it in family. But I think what you've then done,
723
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: which when I saw you do this, it really moved
724
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 3: me when I saw you kind of move into that
725
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 3: direction of justice reform and using your voice and training
726
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 3: to be a lawyer to make these changes in the
727
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: world out there, because I find that, you know, there's
728
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: a natural sense of survival as a family, but then
729
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: when you start taking into account the survival of others,
730
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 3: there's an extension of love and you know what goes
731
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: out to the world. And yeah, I think it was
732
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: really special to see that this podcast is called on
733
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 3: Purpose for a reason, because I think everyone's searching for
734
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: their purpose. Would you say that that was a expression
735
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: of purpose or absolutely?
736
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's one of those moments, like
737
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: by chance, I happened to be looking on social media
738
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: and seeing a case that I just didn't understand. And
739
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm always a really curious person, so I'll never let
740
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: something go if it's weighing on my heart to not
741
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: at least try to figure out how it happened. I've
742
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: always been really interested in crime stuff and solving things
743
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: and figuring things out. So when I saw a case
744
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: of a woman that just didn't make sense to me,
745
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: I was really curious, and I sent this little video
746
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: that popped up on my Twitter to attorneys that I
747
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: knew really well that could answer questions for me. And
748
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: then when it seemed like I couldn't just sit there
749
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: it was really weighing on my heart when I felt
750
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: like it was so unfair. I didn't know that there
751
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: was like thousands of cases that were so unfair. I
752
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: just thought, oh wow, like I have to help this person.
753
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: And then when I was successful in doing that on
754
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: my journey, I realized, like, wait, there's so many more
755
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: people like this, like I can't not do something. And
756
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: I think that that also goes with whatever's meant to
757
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: come to you at your own pace, for your own
758
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: learning levels, is what's meant to be. Because that came
759
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: to me, I wasn't like searching for that, and that
760
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: changed my life and it changed who I am. I
761
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: just can't sit around and see this happen to other
762
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: people that aren't deserving of their freedom. I think just
763
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: everyone's on their own path and things will come to
764
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: you when you need to be like elevated to that
765
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: growth level. And I'm really grateful for those experiences because
766
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: I definitely think that that's my purpose.
767
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: What internal changes did you see in yourself that maybe
768
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 3: you didn't see before when you started doing this work,
769
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 3: Like what did you have to grapple with internally? Was
770
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: there anything that you had to break through inside? Yeah?
771
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: What would those things?
772
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: I would say? I always felt like I was a
773
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: compassionate person and a caring person, and I always cared
774
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: about people's feelings, but my level of empathy was at
775
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: a completely different level. When I started, I might have
776
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: been way more judgmental, and I would think that someone
777
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: that was behind bars, especially for a really lengthy or
778
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: a serious crime, that they probably were absolutely guilty. I
779
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: had no compassion. I was just really judgmental. And then
780
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: when I started to hear about these cases and people's
781
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: backstories and their histories and realized that so many people
782
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: really didn't have the opportunities to be better and didn't
783
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: know better, it really changed my whole life, and like,
784
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: my level of empathy is just so different than what
785
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: it was years ago. And I think that's why I
786
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: fight so hard for people to get second chances, Because
787
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: people make really bad choices and really bad mistakes, some
788
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: way way worse than other people. But if you're never
789
00:40:54,719 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: given the chance to change, that's really sad, especially if
790
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: you make a really bad decision as a teenager and
791
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: then you're in your forties and you're given no shot
792
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: to change when you really already maybe have so much.
793
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: It was really important to me to express that and
794
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: help people that have made those changes.
795
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: And I love how I'm assuming that when you do
796
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: something like that in the outside space, it kind of
797
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: applies to your whole life, where all of a sudden,
798
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 3: you're so right that I think we all not even
799
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: people behind bars. I think we all judge people all
800
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 3: the time. Yeah, and when you're almost doing it in
801
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: such an extreme way and raising your empathy in such
802
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: an extreme environment, you can now extend that and express
803
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 3: that to so many more people. Yeah, because you've had
804
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 3: to do it in a way where you were like, oh,
805
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 3: definitely that person deserves it. Yeah, and all of a
806
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: sudden you start realizing maybe they didn't deserve that. Yeah,
807
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 3: So maybe we don't deserve this. I think, you know,
808
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 3: but in.
809
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: All levels of life of judgment. I used to judge
810
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: people and like their relationships and how people lived their lives,
811
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: and now whatever makes you happy? Why should we judge?
812
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: Who were we to say how people should live their lives?
813
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: My judgment is just I don't know if it comes
814
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: with age or experience or just going through so many things,
815
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: but just be happy, you know. Isn't that what life
816
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: is about? Experiences making people feel heard and seen and appreciated,
817
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: and just having gratitude for the things in life that
818
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: we're so blessed to have and work for and for.
819
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: Surrounded by the people we love we are. That's real success.
820
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I agree, And I feel that a
821
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 3: lot of people start getting better at that with the
822
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 3: judgment outside. But one of the things that people struggle
823
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 3: to deal with the most is the judgment in their head.
824
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: And I wonder, do you find that you ever catch
825
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 3: yourself judging yourself and being hard on yourself and being
826
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 3: heavy and harsh on yourself. You've been able to give
827
00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: that up.
828
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: I'll be like competitive with myself. I think I'm a
829
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: really competitive person, but I'm pretty I'm pretty easy on myself.
830
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 3: Wow, that's incredible.
831
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: I was always like, really calm, really easy going.
832
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 3: That's a real achievement. Yeah, and I'm sure you see
833
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: people judging themselves all the time.
834
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:16,959
Speaker 1: Yeah.
835
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 3: I was grabbing some coffees for my team a couple
836
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: of months back or something, and I remember like I
837
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: was paying the cashier and she gave me the change
838
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: and I was grabbing the change of walking off, and
839
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 3: she was like, wait, wait, wait, I'm so stupid. I'm
840
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 3: so stupid. I got the change wrong. And I was
841
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: like I didn't even notice. And I looked and I
842
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 3: was like, oh okay, Like I was like, you're not stupid,
843
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: like easy mistaken. You can see the look on her
844
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 3: face like she was judging herself so harshly for something
845
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 3: so small. And I guess when you see people judge themselves,
846
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 3: then how do you how do you respond to that
847
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: or how do you support them?
848
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: Honestly, I really haven't experienced that much.
849
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: That's fantastic. Yeah, that's amazing, And I love hearing that
850
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: because I think it is so true that you can
851
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: curate and create a community around you that has similar values. Yeah,
852
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: and then almost you don't even I.
853
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: See a lot of like determination and a lot of
854
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: like creativity, a lot of hard work. Like if I
855
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: were to go on vacation with my girlfriends, we'd all
856
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: be getting up probably at six am, all want to
857
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: go on a workout. I don't think there's that one
858
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: girl that would be like, I'm sleeping till ten and
859
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm not working out, you know. So I think that
860
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: obviously everyone around you is different and has different personalities.
861
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of my core friends are
862
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: really like minded.
863
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and sometimes that positive, positive peer pressure can be
864
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 3: really healthy too, Like, yeah, even if you have that
865
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 3: one friend who's struggling, as soon as you're added to
866
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 3: that group totally. You see the maleovey. I've seen that
867
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 3: with so many of my friends that totally. Even if
868
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: there's one person who's struggling with something, as soon as
869
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 3: they're in that pack, yeah, all of a sudden you
870
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 3: start to see them break through their ceiling. Yeah, and
871
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: it changes for them.
872
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think something that I've learned maybe the hard way,
873
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'm at a really good place
874
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: now where the people in my life I feel really solid.
875
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: I think this is the first time in my life.
876
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: Obviously I've had really long relationships with my girlfriends and
877
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: friends since elementary school. But something I learned is that
878
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: you cannot help people that don't want the help and
879
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: don't You can't force your beliefs and project that on
880
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: someone that thinks something totally different. And it's okay to
881
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 1: have those different views. It's why the world goes round,
882
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: you know. But if you don't align in the same
883
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: values and morals and things at your core, then it's
884
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: okay to realize that this life is so short and
885
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: you should go and find the people that do align
886
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: with what you really believe in. And I think sometimes
887
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: there's so much going on that you can be blinded
888
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: by so many other things that if you don't stop
889
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: and think about what someone's true values and morals are
890
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,959
Speaker 1: and how they want to live their life, so much
891
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: other things are going on. So I don't blame people
892
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: that don't really stop and think about those things. I mean,
893
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: those are some of the lessons that I would teach
894
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: my kids when they're looking for friends and partners and relationships. Yeah,
895
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: you can't really force things upon other people. You can't
896
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: expect them to be where you're at at your level.
897
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: And sometimes that could really coexist really well, but then
898
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: sometimes it really can't. You have to let go of
899
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: the idea of molding people into what you want. Think
900
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: about if there's something about yourself that you really want
901
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: to change, the expectations of going into something and thinking
902
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: you're going to get a different result, or thinking you
903
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: have the power to change someone is so selfish and
904
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: so crazy, and everyone does it and everyone has to
905
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: learn on their own. And that's something that I've always
906
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: like sat back, helped friends, given them advice, but never
907
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: really pushed because even if I were to say, hey,
908
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: don't walk down that path, trust me, I've been there.
909
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: You don't want to go there and they say okay,
910
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: and they follow you and they go on a different path.
911
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: They'll never learn that lesson. They have no clue what
912
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You know, I could say parenting stuff
913
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: to you all day long, with all due respect, you
914
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: have no clue until you've been through it. I welcome
915
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: people's journeys and their lessons, and I'll always be there
916
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: to the people that I love to help them through that.
917
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: But they got to go through that in order to
918
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: grow on their own.
919
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 3: What's the biggest lesson you learned from your mom that
920
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 3: you try to pass on to the kids.
921
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: I think just how she makes people feel really heard
922
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: and welcomed. She really is the most warm, welcoming person,
923
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: and it's just like her overall. It seems superficial, but
924
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: it's not like her party planning skills. It's not even that.
925
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: It's just the welcomingness of I don't even know if
926
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: these are words I'm saying, but like just her ability
927
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: to be so warm and to make everyone feel like
928
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: they were invited here. I'm going to create this special
929
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: Easter dinner with like the things on the table, you
930
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: know that she had when we were growing up at
931
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: my dad's house, Like she just has all this like
932
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: really special nostalgic stuff around all the time and always
933
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: tries to make everyone feel so special, but with like
934
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: a gathering so that everyone feels comfortable and can hang around.
935
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 1: Like she just loves people in her space and loves
936
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: to create these memories. And I think that we all
937
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: got that from her, and we will all if I
938
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: can just pass that on to my kids, just the
939
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: experiences that we have as a family, whether we're just
940
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: sitting in our pajamas and hanging out, we make the
941
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: time to be together. And I hope that my kids
942
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: want to make the time to be together when they
943
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: grow up, with their cousins and their aunts and just
944
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: the whole family.
945
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure they will. Yeah, I think, yeah, I think
946
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 3: I think you've managed to hold onto it in your
947
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: entire generation, and so yeah, they see that. I think
948
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: kids mirror so much of what they see around them.
949
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 3: And I remember when I met my wife, her grandma
950
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 3: is her favorite human on the planet. And it's really
951
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: interesting how when someone you love you know who their
952
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 3: favorite human is, you automatically start loving them. And I
953
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 3: wasn't really close to my grandparents, but I'm closer to
954
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: Rady's grandparents like grandmother, and I am to my own
955
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 3: grandparents because you see your love for the person that
956
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: you love, and so I think when your kids see
957
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 3: the love that you have for your sisters and your
958
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 3: cousins and your aunts and uncles.
959
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: And now if only all my kids can love their siblings,
960
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. They're in a fighting phase.
961
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and you guys went through that phase.
962
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, still going on, never ending.
963
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 3: It's never going to stop. Kim. I feel like you
964
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 3: travel so much, you have so many businesses. You're now
965
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: going to be on a TV show, like another TV show.
966
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: I mean, You've got so much things happening in your life,
967
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: and I'm sure there's moments where whether the kids say
968
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 3: something or don't. I know a lot of people in
969
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: my life feel a lot of mom guilt. Yeah, and
970
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 3: moms carry it with them. Have you experienced that with
971
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 3: your friends your family?
972
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Mom guilt is probably the hardest thing. I think
973
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: that you have to also separate though, and understand that
974
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: you need your own bit of sanity. So you have
975
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: to do what makes you happy. You have to working.
976
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: For me, I love working, so that makes me happy.
977
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: Anytime I think something's really hard, I dive into work
978
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: and or if there's challenges, like I love to dive
979
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: into my work and that's like a bit of my
980
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: therapy and my routine to keep me going. But I think,
981
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, I have chats with my girlfriends when our
982
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 1: kids are having tantrums and there could be things going
983
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: on that we don't even know about, and you feel
984
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: like you're the worst mom if something's going on and
985
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: you can't fix it, you have no idea how to
986
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 1: change it. Your kids are fighting, whatever it is, and
987
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: my friends and I will text each other and be
988
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: like in tears, literally locking ourselves in the room, like
989
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: away from a kid having a tantrum. When that's not
990
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: what you should do. You should go and lean into them.
991
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's so overwhelming. That was probably the only
992
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: time I'd be hard on myself. Is am I a
993
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 1: good mom? I try to do everything? And I think
994
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: how to balance work with that is when you're home
995
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: being really present. Kids all they want is time. They
996
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: just want your time. You can give them all these amazing,
997
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: big experiences and they'll remember them and they're great, but
998
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: they'll always remember you being present. And I think that's
999
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: just the most important thing in all of your life relationships.
1000
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: Think about what a kid wants. A kid just wants
1001
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: your time, so why wouldn't everyone else. You have to
1002
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: kind of treat everyone like that if you want these
1003
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: like meaningful relationships in your life, and you have to
1004
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: be present. And it's okay to feel like you are
1005
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent at being the best mom. I
1006
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: say this all the time. There's no manual. They do
1007
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: not come with a manual. Everyone's doing the best that
1008
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: they can. And I just feel so lucky that I
1009
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: have a good group of girlfriends and all of our
1010
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: kids are experiencing different things from I mean, imagine all
1011
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: the things that they divorce, everything that they have to
1012
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: go through. We're okay. They will be okay, and they
1013
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 1: will feel the love and support and that's all you
1014
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: can do. It'll be okay.
1015
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 3: And I'm sure that's hard for you because you were
1016
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: saying that you're so competitive with yourself if you want
1017
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 3: to be the best to everything. Yeah, but I feel
1018
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 3: like being the best mom must be the hardest, hardest
1019
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 3: thing to ever live up to.
1020
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I'm very confident. So every year I write
1021
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: each one of my kids about a four or five
1022
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: page letter about on their birthday, about what the year
1023
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: was like, who their friends are, silly words, they're saying,
1024
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: their favorite foods, all the silly things that they do,
1025
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: and a little journey of what the year is like.
1026
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: And it's so fun to see from the first year
1027
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: now you know, one of them almost ten years old,
1028
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: and just to I know that they'll appreciate this. I
1029
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: know that they'll appreciate everything that they might have thought
1030
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: I was being a little harsh on me protecting them.
1031
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,439
Speaker 1: I know that they'll they'll get it because I got
1032
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: it with my mom, and I know they'll get it
1033
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: with me.
1034
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 3: You've reminded me of something beautiful that I want to
1035
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 3: share that. So, my mom and dad were birthda immigrants
1036
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: in London, which is where I was born and raised,
1037
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 3: and both my parents worked ever since I was a kid,
1038
00:53:57,840 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: and so i'd get dropped to daycare, get picked up
1039
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 3: in the year. But what I remember is something you said.
1040
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 3: My mom would come and pick me up, and I
1041
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 3: still remembered the look on her face when she'd pick
1042
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 3: me up. She'd had this big smile, she'd give me
1043
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 3: the biggest hug, she'd take me home and we'd sit
1044
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: down together while she was cooking, and we'd just talk
1045
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 3: to each other. And it's almost like I never had
1046
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: a lot of time with my parents growing up, but
1047
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 3: I felt so much presence. And I honestly believe today
1048
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 3: that I have so much love to give because my
1049
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 3: mom infused me with love, Like my mom's just like, yeah,
1050
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 3: you know, bathe me in so much love totally that
1051
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 3: it's so easy for me to be loving because I've
1052
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 3: always had infinite amounts of it from my moum the best.
1053
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't imagine. I love on my kids so hard.
1054
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: They are so annoyed with me, and I love it.
1055
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 3: What I find genuinely inspiring about you and the way
1056
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: you think and focus is that you want to be
1057
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 3: this incredible mom, but you also want to show the
1058
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 3: kids what a passionate, purpose driven person looks like. Yeah,
1059
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 3: and I think, forget that that's also parenting, Like I'm
1060
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 3: not a parent, but I can honestly say it that
1061
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 3: when I saw my mom working late at night and
1062
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 3: waking up early in the morning, I look back at
1063
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 3: my mom and I think my mom is a superwoman. Yeah,
1064
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 3: And I look back at that as inspirat.
1065
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: My kids think that on me.
1066
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 3: One day, they will. They will because they'll see that.
1067
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 3: And I think same with my dad. Like I saw
1068
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 3: my dad and how much he had to work, Yeah,
1069
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 3: and there was something powerful about that.
1070
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: I think. I always like to show them, Like I
1071
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: drop my kids off at school and then I have
1072
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: two or three hours of law school, so I gotta go.
1073
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: I'm on time because I have my school and they
1074
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: have been on the journey with me. They saw me
1075
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: take the bar exam. They saw me open my results
1076
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: and not pass multiple times. They saw me open up
1077
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: the results and pass and I was crying and they
1078
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 1: felt my hard work and it paid off. I want
1079
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: to show them that finding a passion and working, to me,
1080
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: is something I love to do and there's so much
1081
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: joy in that for me, and I want them to
1082
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: feel that positive experience, and I encourage that from them,
1083
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: Like I want to just show them as many positive
1084
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: experiences as I can and show them that you know,
1085
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: you can work hard and you can love it. And
1086
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: I just try to live my life and be a
1087
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: good example for them.
1088
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 3: I think it comes through and I do believe that,
1089
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 3: Like when I look back at my parents, all I
1090
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 3: can do is appreciate my mom. All I can do.
1091
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: I hope they do. Sometimes they tell me I'm the
1092
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: meanest mom in the world because I won't buy them
1093
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: roadblocks every day. You know. It's like I'm like, it's okay,
1094
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: I could be the meanest mom in the world. Yeah,
1095
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: you know.
1096
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 3: I think that's what moms do. Moms are willing to
1097
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 3: be anything that kids need them to be, even if
1098
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 3: it's that for shal period of time. Yeah, Kim, you've
1099
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 3: been so gracious and kind with your time today. We
1100
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 3: end every On Purpose episode with a final five. The
1101
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 3: first question is what is the best advice you've ever
1102
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 3: received or heard?
1103
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: Something that I've learned about time is just that we
1104
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: never have enough of time, So really be present and
1105
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: make the most of your relationships because we're not here
1106
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: very long and we have one life.
1107
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 3: Was there a moment that made you realize that or
1108
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 3: something that happened that made you realize that.
1109
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when you lose a parent, you're
1110
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: always really mindful of time, And my mom talks about
1111
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: it all the time. I think she's like probably the
1112
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: one thing in life she's scared about, you know, and
1113
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: keeps her up at night sometimes, so just making sure
1114
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: that you make the most of everything because it'll go
1115
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: by so fast.
1116
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 3: Second question, what is the worst life advice you've ever
1117
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 3: received or heard?
1118
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe the worst advice could be almost too
1119
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: much advice or too many opinions. If you really trust
1120
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: your gut and you do what you want to do,
1121
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: and if you're in your bobble and when the world
1122
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: gets to that little piece of your bubble, and there
1123
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: can be so many opinions, I think sometimes all of
1124
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 1: the conflicting advice can just be bad advice that even
1125
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: if you're supposed to make your mistake and maybe do
1126
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: what you want to do with any bad piece of advice,
1127
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: that's still a part of your journey. So sometimes just
1128
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: do what you want to do and not take in
1129
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: all of the advice is really healthy.
1130
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: I think that's great, And don't ask for in the
1131
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 3: first place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all have that one
1132
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 3: friend who totally messages like twenty five people with the
1133
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 3: same question. Totally yeah, definitely good answer, all right. Question
1134
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 3: number three. If tomorrow not wishing this, no intentions, no
1135
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 3: energy towards this, but if tomorrow you had to restart,
1136
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 3: what would you do if tomorrow everything went away and
1137
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 3: you had to restart, what would you do business wise?
1138
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: Like?
1139
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 3: Would that shift?
1140
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: I think I would probably be a lawyer and just
1141
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: focus on that and go to law school and focus
1142
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: on being an attorney full time, because I just think
1143
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: the feeling of being able to help people is really
1144
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: powerful and necessary, and I would just focus on that.
1145
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 3: That's such a hartful answer. I love that. That's beautiful.
1146
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad I asked you. Yeah, I just feel like
1147
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 3: it's really interesting. I was having a conversation last night
1148
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 3: with with the mutual friends of ours Scooter Braun and Oh.
1149
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 3: We were together last night and we were talking about
1150
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 3: this idea about how we often think that our experiences
1151
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 3: make us who we are, or is it that you
1152
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 3: are just going to be who you are anyway because
1153
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 3: that's who you were meant to be.
1154
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: I think it's both. Yeah, think about it. You can
1155
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: be the most talented person, but if you don't have
1156
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: that determination and drive, then what will become of it?
1157
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just going to magically happen because
1158
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: you're talented, of course, So I think so much of
1159
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: it is the effort what you do with that and
1160
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: figuring that out and who you are and what you
1161
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: want to put out in the world.
1162
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 3: I guess my point is that I think you have
1163
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 3: that energy of wanting to be the best, of wanting
1164
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 3: to do things really well, of wanting to do things
1165
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 3: with that quality, and whatever you ended up doing with it, yeah,
1166
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 3: it would have been that and it is that you're doing.
1167
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: You have to no matter even if this isn't the
1168
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: job that you want, no matter what it is that
1169
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: you're doing, you have to be full of your best.
1170
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: You have to put in two hundred percent. You have
1171
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: no idea who's paying attention. You're at that place exactly
1172
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: what where you're supposed to be at that time. There's
1173
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: nothing worse than someone that doesn't want to give it.
1174
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: They're all no matter what it is, and it could be.
1175
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: That's like, you know, business advice that I heard that
1176
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: always stuck with me and always was even when I
1177
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: was working at a clothing store. I was so happy
1178
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: to be there organizing. I did my yet I did
1179
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: my absolute best that I could sell everything and steaming
1180
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: everything and hanging everything. And I think those experiences just
1181
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: show you what you want to do in your life,
1182
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: show other people really what you're made of. I'm just
1183
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,479
Speaker 1: like a I'm a really competitive person. So no matter
1184
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: what it is that I'm doing, I want to be
1185
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: the best at that. I want to learn everything about it.
1186
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: And I'm just a super curious person.
1187
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 3: Beautiful question of before. See as we've been talking about values,
1188
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 3: what's something that you used to value that you no
1189
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 3: longer feel your value anymore?
1190
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: Definitely material designer things I used to value, I mean stuff.
1191
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I live in an area where there would be fires
1192
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot, and there was probably four times we had
1193
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: to fully pack up the house, everything out houses catching
1194
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: on fire, property caught on fire, like really close to
1195
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: losing everything. First time, packed up my entire shoe and
1196
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: bad closet and a lot of them because there were
1197
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: memory stuff from my dad, stuff in high school, but
1198
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 1: all designer stuff, also videos, photos, whatever, digitized everything. Put
1199
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: everything important somewhere else. Second, pack up the designer stuff,
1200
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: but leave some. Leave some of the clothes. You know,
1201
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't really need all the clothes, but I packed
1202
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: a hotel for months. Bags and every designer thing that
1203
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I had had to come. Third time, leave all the
1204
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: bags and shoes I don't I don't need them. We
1205
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: got all the we got all the photos, we got
1206
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 1: all the my little blanky when I was little, you know,
1207
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: the kids stuff. Fourth time, leave everything, me and my babies.
1208
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: That's all I need, you know. I have all my
1209
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: photos digitized. I have everything digital. We got our passports.
1210
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: We're good. And that like evolution of like they had
1211
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: to go in and get all my designer stuff or
1212
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving my house. You know it's going to
1213
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: catch on fire. And now I'm like, nothing is worth it,
1214
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: nothing is important. And I think that comes from life experiences,
1215
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: scary experiences, things shaking you to your core to make
1216
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: you realize that nothing is important. You can't I know
1217
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: everyone says this, but like you can't take it with you.
1218
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: None of it is important.
1219
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a beautiful Islamic proverb that says detachment doesn't
1220
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 3: mean that you own nothing. It means that nothing owns you.
1221
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 3: And I feel so often we become owned by I
1222
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 3: love that dreams, our desires, our pursuits, our things. Yeah,
1223
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that we have to give them all
1224
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,919
Speaker 3: away or we don't have those things. It's just if
1225
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 3: and when we have to let go totally willing, are
1226
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 3: we able to let.
1227
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Totally, even with work stuff. I mean, it doesn't just
1228
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: have to be the material things, like you said, like
1229
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: your dreams, and it's okay to be able to let
1230
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: go but work so hard to like the opposites are okay,
1231
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: contradicting yourself a little bit in those ways. You know.
1232
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: It's like in relationships, you can love a person, miss
1233
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: a person so much, but still have the wisdom to
1234
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: note they're not your person and you're better off not together.
1235
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: That like opposite connection with everything. I think is really
1236
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: important to have that awareness and everything in life, relationships,
1237
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: material things, all of that.
1238
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I officiated a wedding a few years ago and
1239
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,439
Speaker 3: someone came up to me from the audience and said
1240
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 3: to me, jay, I realized from what you were saying
1241
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 3: that they'd just gone through a breakup recently, and they
1242
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 3: were saying, jay, I realized that I loved that person,
1243
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 3: but we didn't like each other anymore. And it was
1244
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 3: that essence of like, there'll always be that deep love
1245
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 3: for each other, yeah, but we just don't.
1246
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: Like family, you know, Like you love people, but it's
1247
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: okay to feel a protection of a person but then
1248
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: also protecting yourself and realizing when you have to and
1249
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: when it's time, and it's okay to feel all of
1250
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: the opposite emotions, you know, I think as long as
1251
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: you're really well aware and go through the motions and
1252
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: feel things and don't hold things in, it's so important,
1253
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, breakups, deaths. I've always been really
1254
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: clear headed and like, gone through the feelings, gone through
1255
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: the emotions, more in those relationships, more in those lifelong
1256
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: relationships that you hope for, and then also be okay
1257
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: and calm and realizing I've always been someone like, Okay,
1258
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: my dad died, why is this happening? What was his
1259
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: purpose here? And how are we going to grow and
1260
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: learn from this experience? And I always said that, like
1261
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: right when he passed, and I was felt it and
1262
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: super emotional about it, and you know, cry all the
1263
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: time when great things happen that I wish he was here.
1264
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: But also I had a wisdom at like a younger
1265
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: age to understand that this is like a part of
1266
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: our journey and a part of our evolution, and this happens,
1267
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: and this is why you have to hold on to
1268
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: relationships even more precious, but don't let things destroy you.
1269
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 1: At the same time, if that makes it.
1270
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does make sense. I can tell just from
1271
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 3: your energy, like I just want everyone to know who's
1272
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 3: listening and watching. Often people can say something, but the
1273
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 3: time I've spent with you, even today, I can tell
1274
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 3: from the energy that you are content and you are
1275
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 3: so pya and you are I can feel that just
1276
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 3: just peace, like that's what I'm with you. I sense peace,
1277
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 3: and I think doing an interview with someone just it's
1278
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 3: different environment that I remember when I interviewed Kobe Bryant
1279
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 3: and I almost felt like time stood still and his
1280
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 3: word that I saw with his energy was gravity. I
1281
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 3: I just felt like everything was just. And then when
1282
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 3: I'm sitting with you, I'm feeling peace. And a lot
1283
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 3: of the time people try to find people when they're
1284
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 3: not at peace, hoping that someone else will put their
1285
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 3: pieces back together. You are at peace. Do you ever
1286
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 3: feel like you want to be in love again? Do
1287
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 3: you long for that? Or are you so at peace
1288
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 3: that that isn't a consideration.
1289
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic and always
1290
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: want to be in love and definitely love sharing my
1291
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: life with someone and love creating a life with someone.
1292
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: I definitely will take my time and I think there's
1293
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: so many factors, especially when you have kids and being
1294
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: mindful of people that enter in your life. And if
1295
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: I can look at everything that I did wrong and
1296
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: try to not make the same mistakes and really take
1297
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: my time, I think it just has to be different
1298
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: for me.
1299
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 3: You know.
1300
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: It's obviously such a hard place to be in because
1301
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: how do you go aback? Who do you? You know? It's like,
1302
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: so there's so many factors. But I'll always believe in
1303
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: love and I'll always want that, and I think that's
1304
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: such a magical part of life. But I think I'm
1305
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 1: so comfortable taking my time to not rush it. There's
1306
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: so much going on that I'm not lonely, and I
1307
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: think that that is really important. And I believe, like
1308
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: I always believe, you know, and I think that whatever
1309
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: is meant to be will be.
1310
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 3: fIF and final question of the whole interview. If you
1311
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 3: could create one law that everyone in the world had
1312
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 3: to follow, what would it be? Take your time?
1313
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: That's a good one, just second chances and fairness. I
1314
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: think it could be something as simple as just whether
1315
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: it's in our system or judgment in life, just making
1316
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: sure that everyone had like a basic human right to
1317
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 1: what's fair. I think we'd change a lot in the system,
1318
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: we'ld change a lot in life and a law for
1319
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: everyone to be kind. It's that simple, you think about, like,
1320
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: all I want to do is raise kind, thoughtful, grateful,
1321
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: mindful human beings.
1322
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 3: Kim, thank you for being so open, so honest, so

01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 2: with Selena Gomez on befriending your inner critic and how
1333
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 2: to speak to yourself with more compassion.
1334
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: My fears are only going to continue to show me
1335
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: what I'm capable of. The more that I face my fears,
1336
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: the more that I feel I'm gaining strength, I'm gaining wisdom,
1337
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: and I just want to keep doing that.
