Today, I sit down with Kim Kardashian to talk about self compassion and self love.

Kim Kardashian is an entrepreneur, business mogul, and producer. She first gained media attention in her appearances in the reality television series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," which chronicles the personal and professional lives of her and her family members. Over the years, Kim Kardashian has built a successful brand, including beauty and fashion lines, and has become known for her influential social media presence.

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

73
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: us in good moods and motivated and start our day

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
Speaker 1: Understand I've been to a Taco Tuesday.

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

1323
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 3: generous with your time. Everyone has been listening and watching.

1324
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 3: I hope you tag us birth on Instagram, on TikTok,

1325

1326
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 3: to see what you took away from this podcast. I'd

1327
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 3: love to share that with both of us. Thank you

1328
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 3: for listening to on Purpose. See you again next week.

1329
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 3: And Kim, thank you so much again for this energy

1330
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 3: of yours today and being so present with us. Thank you.

1331
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 2: If you love this episode, you'll really enjoy my episode

1332
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.
