Honestly, 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: I just feel like it's one thing to envision, like, oh, 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: what's going to happen, you know, after we've been waiting 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: for so long for the show to air. But um, 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: there's no way that I could have imagined this or 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: even like the feeling of so much love, Like I 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: never thought that that was a thing. And I'm just 33 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: so thankful that it has been such a positive experience 34 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: for me and um overall, like my family and my friend, 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: I just feel so loved. That's so good. You are loved. 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: I definitely love you. You're one of my favorites. Thank you, 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: you really really are, and which is why I was like, 38 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: I need to talk to her. I have so many questions. 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: You're Latina. I thought your mom was super badass on 40 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: the show. Your brothers too, so it was nice to 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: see that, and so thank you for allowing us to, 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, see your life I'm a huge fan of 43 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: the show, and I think that it Love Can really 44 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: be Blind? Do you feel like Love Can is Blind? Absolutely? 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: I mean I think for me, like the concept of 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: going on a reality TV show was never really my agenda. 47 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: It was not like, oh, one day, I want to 48 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: be on a reality TV show. So for me, it 49 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: was specifically Love is Blind, and it was the fact 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: that it was a social experiment, the concept of it. 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: I watched season one. That's that's the only season we 52 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: had access to. So just watching season one and knowing 53 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: that I could potentially be a part of this, like, 54 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: it was truly just a leap of faith that I 55 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: was willing to take on love and specifically like, is 56 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: love truly blind? You know? Yeah, No, I think the 57 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: experiment is amazing and whoever invented it is I think 58 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: it's just it's great. I've learned so much. I've watched 59 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: all three seasons, so I I have really enjoyed it. 60 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: We'll get into the relationship with artist. I know there 61 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: were some lessons that you learned while on the show, 62 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: but I want to start with something you mentioned in 63 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: the first episode. You said you wanted to find a 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: husband and wanted to start a family. Uh, and you 65 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: said that some people have asked you when you're going 66 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: to have kids, and sometimes they assume that something's wrong 67 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: with you. That's something Withina's deal with, like what can 68 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: you talk to us a little bit about that? Yeah. 69 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: So I think for my background specifically, I'm the only 70 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: girl three boys in my immediate family, and then I 71 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: do have girl cousins and guy cousins, so we are 72 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: a big family overall. So I think for me, I 73 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: did a lot of first things. So like I was, 74 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, first generation to graduate high school, first generation 75 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: to go to college and then finish and then get 76 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: hired t show. I always had this like first kind 77 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: of um experience in my family, and so I think 78 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: for me it was like I'm doing all these first things, 79 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: but at the same time, the pressure from my aunt 80 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: and uncles of you know, oh, but you're twenty now, 81 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: so like when are you going to get married? And 82 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: then you know, the next questions come about. So I 83 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: think just really finding it to where I knew my 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: identity came from my experiences and what I wanted to 85 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: do and who I wanted to be and not necessarily 86 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: the pressure of that question at the birthday party or 87 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: about these more or the you know whatever gathering we 88 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: had together as a family. And so it's funny because 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: as the years went by and I started appliring more 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: properties and my real estate portfolio, and we'd go to like, 91 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, Kincaneta or something, and I'd haven't thea 92 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: asked me like, oh, so what's going on with your relationship? 93 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: Status would be like or when are you having kids? 94 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, um, I have two properties now, 95 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: so those are my kids. And then the next year 96 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, well, now I have three kids 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: because I have three houses and you know, um, And 98 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: so I think for me, it's just kind of it 99 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: was an interesting upbringing because it was really that pressure 100 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: from the family side, but then also knowing where I 101 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: stood and what I believed and what I wanted for 102 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: myself and that didn't necessarily line up with what my 103 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: family was asking me about or wanted me to write. 104 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: I love that answer, And that's crazy, because I mean 105 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: I get that question all the time from family. It 106 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: stopped from family a long time ago, but like in 107 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: interviews and when you're gonna have kids and and it's 108 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: like for a long time I felt that pressure, I 109 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: was just talking about it and now like, you know what, Wait, 110 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm busy doing other things and and I'm fine with that. 111 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that decision. And I love to hear 112 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: that from you because you feel the same way, like 113 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm accomplishing things and I'm good with that. And when 114 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: it's time to have kids, that will happen. And that's 115 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: I love that about you. That's another thing. I was like, 116 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: she's a freaking intelligent woman, and I love that. I 117 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: love to see that you were like on your ships, 118 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, shout out to you. I 119 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: want to give you a round of applause because I 120 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: think that's awesome. That's that's one of my goals to 121 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: see is to invest in properties. And I think it's 122 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: just it's time, you know what I mean it stop 123 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: spending money on all these other things. Yes, And I 124 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: think that's one thing to like again being a first 125 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: in my family to do so many other accomplishments that 126 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: I found valuable. Um. I think like as the years 127 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: went on, I was now being praised by my family 128 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: or my cousins or the women in my family to 129 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: be like, oh, Midasa, you know she's in Bali and Indonesia, 130 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: but she's also buying properties. So really just opening up 131 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: that avenue for my family and for my cousins. My 132 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: younger cousins now to be traveling and my cousins now 133 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: like seeing that, like we don't have to keep the 134 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: same tradition. And if and if those cousins want to 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: keep the same tradition, that's great too. But you know, 136 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of like stand for what you want and 137 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: and really just pushed through. And if that's acquiring you know, properties, 138 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: and I think that's a great avenue, but it could 139 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: be something else. It could be traveling, it could be 140 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: just doing the things that maybe um, we weren't surrounded 141 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: with as a Latino could sure um and then just 142 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: exploring whatever that adventure could be. Right, I completely agree 143 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: with you. And Okay, so now we're going to get 144 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: into Bartis. Spoiler alert you guys, for anyone that hasn't 145 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: watched the show. If you haven't, I don't know where 146 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: you've been. Um, but you and Bartis were engaged but 147 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: didn't get married. And he was the one that said 148 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: know what the altar and you also said that you 149 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: trusted your gut. Did you like, did it make you 150 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: second guests your good or is that something like that 151 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: you struggle with like now meeting other men, or how 152 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: do you feel about that experience, Because I'm gonna tell 153 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: you straight up, I didn't think that he was going 154 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: to say no towards the end, especially when you gave 155 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: him that beautiful gift, and I think it touched his 156 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: heart and he cried, So I was very surprised. I 157 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: was very upset. But anyways, yeah, no, I think that 158 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: the way that our relationship unraveled, it truly was one 159 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: hour together was like dating for two weeks, and so 160 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: imagine ten hours together, it's like dating six months. So 161 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: every day that we were dating, we were not just 162 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: normally dating. We were dating with the intention of potentially 163 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: getting married, and so um we had our up center 164 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: downs and and at the beginning of our relationship a 165 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks in off camera, I set him aside 166 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I'm going to say no 167 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: to you. You're not the person that I wanted to envision, 168 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: like the person that you promised me to be, that 169 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: you were supposed to make me feel safe and comfortable 170 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: and as my partner as my best friend, my future husband. 171 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: This is not who I'm getting. So I'm saying no 172 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: at the altar, and he asked me for a second chance. 173 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: And I think in that moment for me, like we've 174 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: all been there in relationships, whether they're platonic friendship families, 175 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: where people make mistakes and they want to learn from 176 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: them and they want to grow from them. So I'm 177 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: a big believer of giving someone a second chance and 178 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: not holding anything back, like truly giving them a clean 179 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: plate as a second chance. Not oh, here's a second chance, 180 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: but I'm also going to bring stuff up from the past, 181 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, like truly second chance. So the last two 182 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: weeks of leading up into to the wedding, it was 183 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: all positive. Everything that you got to see from us 184 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: private lessons, dancing and having the best dates off camera, um, 185 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: just really building and nurturing our relationship together. That's the 186 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: feeling that I got leading up to the wedding day. 187 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: So when he said no, it wasn't so much that 188 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: he said no because I knew it was a chance. 189 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: It was the fact that he led me to believe 190 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: that he was going to say yes, and any of 191 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: the doubts that he had at the beginning he had 192 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: specifically told me, I no longer have those concerns. You 193 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: were the person that I see myself with, Um, this 194 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: is the husband that you're going to get. Um. So 195 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: I think for me it was that feeling of being 196 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: blindsided and not almost like asking myself like how could 197 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: I be so smart? But then also like how can 198 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: I let myself down to not know that this man 199 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: was blindsiding me this whole time? Right? Um? And so 200 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: I think I really took that to heart, like after 201 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: the show. Really the recovery part of like the heart 202 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: A was just making sure that I was more in 203 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: tune with like what I was feeling and if there 204 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: wered doubts with people I was dating or seeing her 205 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: first date, second date, just really channeling with like how 206 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: I felt. And one thing my therapist said to me, 207 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: she said, going on your dates, you need to ask yourself, 208 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: how do I feel about this person? Does Nancy like 209 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: how this date is going? Does Nancy like the characteristics 210 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: of this person? Not so much like, oh I wonder 211 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: if he likes me? Because I think a lot of 212 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: the times first second dates, like you want to show 213 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: your best and so you're maybe asking yourself. At least 214 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: I was asking myself, I wonder if he likes me, 215 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: or I wonder if he thinks I'm funny and all 216 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: the stiff. But I'm like, no, Like I I got 217 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: to the point after the show where I really asked 218 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: myself the opposite of how do I feel and like 219 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: do I find them funny? And like do I like them? 220 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: And how do I feel about them? Because I think 221 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: that really will tell you a lot at the beginning, 222 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: so I had, you know, several first dates and then 223 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: that was it because I'm like, yeah, no, it's not 224 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: for me, like thank you, but it's not for me. 225 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: And I think, um, I learned that a lot from 226 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: the show, being that it was a very fast relationship 227 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: that you know, was sped up. But I think that 228 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: just overall, learning more about my boundaries and what I'm 229 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: okay with and what I'm not okay with is what 230 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: I got from from dating on Love is Blind. Do 231 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: you feel that maybe those last two weeks like he 232 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, if you know, for the lack of 233 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: a better word, he bamboozled you, like maybe like do 234 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: you feel that it was fake? Like he wanted you 235 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: to like switch around to saying yes so that he 236 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: could say no, or do you think it? Just like 237 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: did you ever get a wife from him? Like? What 238 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: the heck? Yeah? No, I honestly I don't think I 239 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: ever got a wife from him, because I do want 240 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: to believe that he loved me, because I think that 241 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: there were moments off camera that we're so pure, that 242 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: we're so normal for us, like aside from being like 243 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: seven years apart, right, aside from being or six or 244 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: seven years aside from dating on on a show like 245 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Love is Blind, Like we truly enjoyed each other, match 246 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: each other's energy so well that I want to believe 247 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: that he really did give it his all the last 248 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: two weeks. And the one thing I heard him say 249 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: in an interview, not to my face, but in an 250 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: interview was something like, had we had more time, like, 251 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: had we had two more weeks of the last two 252 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: weeks we had, my answer would have been different for me. 253 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: It was hearing that was like, okay, like, I do 254 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: understand that the last two weeks were good, And that's 255 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: what I was going off with because again, giving you 256 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: a second chance, I was letting go anything else I 257 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,599 Speaker 1: want to talk to you about. Red flags because his 258 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: red flags is something that I've talked about a lot 259 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: on this show because I was in a pretty difficult 260 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: and somewhat toxic relationships. So that relationship taught me red 261 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: flags and not to ignore them, because I got a 262 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: lot of them, and I just chose to ignore them 263 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: because sometimes it's like, Okay, well we love this person, 264 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: or we choose to look past certain things. And looking 265 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: back at your experience, were there any red flags that 266 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: you think you missed? You know, It's funny because I 267 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: think in that moment filming the show, what I saw 268 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: as a weakness of his I wanted to embrace. And 269 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: I think for me, the way I thought of it 270 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: was whatever love I have from you, or whatever love 271 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: we can have together is extra for me, Like I 272 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: already love myself enough, So like do I need you 273 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: to validate me like as a partner, yes, But is 274 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: it required for me to feel good about myself? No? 275 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: So I think for me, it was really just embracing 276 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: him for his weaknesses, loving him through that, and really 277 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: loving him unconditionally, right um, And so I think like 278 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: that's the approach that I had when I was in 279 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: the show, when I was like Okay, we're engaged. We 280 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: made each other a promise. Not only did you make 281 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: me a promise, but I accepted your promise as a proposal. Right. So, 282 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: I think for me and the show, it was really 283 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: there were red flags, but I chose to follow the 284 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: green flags, and I chose to follow the actions that 285 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: were lining up with the green flags. And I think 286 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the times, like in any relationship, we 287 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: talk about red flags, but there's also green flags that 288 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: I think that we can also use as a as 289 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: I guess, a metric, right. I think what was really 290 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: neat about watching it back? It was a completely different 291 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: view for me because when I watched the show, not 292 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: only was I watching it under the perspective of how 293 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: am I in a relationship? Because that's really neat. Like 294 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: I think if anybody had a chance to, like have 295 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: somebody film your relationship and see what you're like, it's 296 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: actually really cool like situation and so, um, what I 297 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: learned from that is I had a different perspective. I 298 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: should have asked more questions, right, Like when there were 299 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: differences that we had, Like I should have um set 300 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: up for myself and and inquired more because I think 301 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: instead of just embracing him and loving him unconditionally when 302 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't getting that in return. I think that's where 303 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: my boundary wasn't there. I should have asked more questions, 304 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: and I should have. I think I should. I should 305 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: have stood up for myself in the sense that you 306 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: know at reunion, I told him what you said was disrespectful. 307 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: And you guys didn't get to see all of our 308 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: conversation at reunion, but but I did say everything to 309 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: him that I was in my heart after watching the 310 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: entire show, I said to him what I felt that 311 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: I felt disrespected. I felt like he didn't handle the 312 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: delivery of his feelings. His feelings are fine, like have 313 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: your feelings, hype your thoughts, but the delivery of it 314 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: was really not okay. And so I wish I would 315 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: have said that to him in our relationship because I 316 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: think that maybe that could have allowed us to grow 317 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: more as a couple and allowed him to learn. But 318 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: I think at the same time, like I don't think 319 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: he was ready to learn. I don't. I don't know 320 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: if he was in a place where he truly wanted 321 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: to accept that as feedback. So I think for me, 322 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: I just took it as like, look, this is a 323 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: safe space. Say what you're gonna say. Yes, it will 324 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: probably be disrespectful because you're still learning on how to 325 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: do liver. But overall, like I do, I wanted us 326 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: to have a relationship that was open and honest as 327 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: much as it was in the pause. I wanted to 328 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: create that same environment outside of the pods. This is 329 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: a really weird question, but do you know his sign 330 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: by any chance? Like his horoscope? He's a cancer? Oh shit, 331 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: And I'm a scorpio, And I like cancers and scorpios 332 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: are like they're a thing. They're so compatible. So yeah, 333 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: do you think it had to do with the age? 334 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: Is that? Like you think the fact that he was 335 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: because I have my own opinion on that. As far 336 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: as like a man in his twenties, because granted my 337 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: boyfriend's seven years younger, he's thirty, I'm thirty seven, But 338 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: I feel like a man has to go through certain stuff, 339 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: certain things, experience certain things in their twenties in order 340 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: to figure out what they really want. I feel like 341 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: not only just men women, I feel that we just 342 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: need to use our twenties to learn and experience and experiment. 343 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think it had to do 344 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: with his age? Did that ever scare you? I think 345 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: at the beginning, it definitely scared me. Like if I 346 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: had allowed the age factor to really be a factor, 347 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: I would have said no to his engagement, to his proposal, 348 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: Like I I just know that, um, my parents have 349 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: a big age gap, and so like I knew that 350 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: age really didn't need to be a factor. And I 351 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: actually didn't know he was twenty five until the day 352 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: before he proposed, So I had already started falling in 353 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: love with this person. And when when I found out 354 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: his age, I remember I was like, well, let me 355 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: take a guess, and I said, and it was like 356 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: dead silent, and he was. And and so even just 357 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: like the fact that I had no idea because the 358 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: way he carried himself in the pod, like I really 359 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: thought he was more mature. I think what happened at 360 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: least throughout the process. I think that when you say 361 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: like love is blind, I think that is true up 362 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: to a certain point. So I think that love is 363 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: blind in the pods if you can connect emotionally with someone. 364 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: I think what happened in his cases that in the 365 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: real world he allowed other factors to come into his opinion. 366 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: So I don't know if he was mentally emotionally strong 367 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: enough to hold on to like what really brought us together. 368 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: And I think that maybe because I am there. I 369 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: was thirty one at the time, I had already knew 370 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: and loved myself so much that I'm like, anything I 371 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: get from you is extra, so like we can make 372 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: this work, Like we can work through our our differences 373 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: and we can really pull through. So I think he 374 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: still wasn't able to get to that point because of 375 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: other factors in that he was influenced by, whether it 376 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: was his peers, his friend um, scrolling through social media. 377 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: That was one thing. We got our phones in our 378 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: hand when we were coming back to Dallas from Malibu, 379 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: and it was like, I got this weird feeling that 380 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: I ended up asking was like, do you feel like 381 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: the whole type thing, me not being your type came 382 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: from you scrolling on the internet and seeing to blond's 383 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: And he said yeah, He's like, yeah, that's part of it. 384 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, I get scrolled through my feet 385 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: and see hot guys, but I'm not going to be like, 386 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: oh I wish that was my husband. Because like I 387 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so I think again, 388 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: like the influences of the outside world really impacting I 389 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: think his opinion still and and maybe when he gets 390 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: to a point where he's mature enough to hold his 391 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: true value for himself and truly love on himself or 392 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: who he is and not the extra stuff and not 393 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: let the external things impact him. Um, I think maybe 394 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: then things could have been different. Right now that you 395 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: brought that up. I I do remember feeling like when 396 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: you guys were in the pod, so I'm like, he 397 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: seems like such a mature, intelligent year old and I 398 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: think that that's when he you know, when he like 399 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: he said, when he went out to the real world, 400 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: he was like I think he was his true self 401 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: in the pods and then like that's his true essence, 402 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: is what I felt. And then he went out and 403 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: he just was like hit with just so many things 404 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: in different opinions, and it kind of just rattled him. 405 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: It's kind of how I saw it, because I saw 406 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: a different person and I'm like, what, Like, I was like, 407 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: this is I could have that money that he would 408 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't this dude, And this is not to talk 409 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: rap about arties because I'm sure he's a great guy. 410 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure that he learned a lot of lessons himself 411 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: through this process. I hope, um, but I was like, 412 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: what the hell, especially when and I don't know if 413 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: this is out of line, and you tell me, but like, 414 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: because I don't want to talk about anything you wouldn't 415 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: want to talk about, but when you guys were in 416 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: bed and he was talking about how Raven was more 417 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: of his type and you were just listening, like you 418 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: took that so well. And I want to ask you, 419 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: as a woman, do you feel like And I don't know, 420 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: maybe they didn't show that part, but you were just 421 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: very quiet, and I felt like she's observing, she's taking 422 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: it all in, she's thinking I and maybe this is 423 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: me being immature. I probably would have slapped him, to 424 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: be honest, I don't disrespect me, but I'm like, I 425 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: want to know, is it because you love yourself? Is 426 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: it how confident you are? Is it? Like? What was 427 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: it that kept you that calm? Because I admire it, 428 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: it's it's it's admirable. Thank you, thank you so much. Honestly, 429 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: I pride myself and being a good listener, and that's 430 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: something that I've worked really hard to do, whether it's 431 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: listening to something my friends or my the person that 432 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: I'm dating, like just truly soaking in what they're saying 433 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: and allowing that to be a safe space. So I 434 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: think in that moment, I had only known this guy 435 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: physically for days, and so I knew that, like although 436 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: he wasn't a long term friend right or a long 437 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: term relationship, like, I just knew that I needed to 438 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: create a space for him to be able to say 439 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: what he needed to say. And then the next day 440 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: we actually had a follow up conversation about that particular 441 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: conversation and like what it meant for him to have 442 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: these um feelings for for someone else and what that 443 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: what that really meant. But at the end of the day, 444 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: like looking back again watching it, I got a different 445 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: perspective because watching it back like that was me being 446 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: solid and confident within myself and so like I knew, like, yes, 447 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: she's hot, but I'm hot too, So what are we 448 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: gonna do? Like there's nothing to be done about that. 449 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: So like I'm unbothered by it. So I will at 450 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: the party, I will have burgers, and I will have 451 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: like you know, I will enjoy myself. Like you know, 452 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: I was hungry and we were drinking, so like I 453 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: just knew that, like it didn't face me. And I 454 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: think that that's something that when people have asked me before, 455 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: like would you recommend someone going on Love is Blind? 456 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: I I do think that it is a process that 457 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: is much deeper than what you think is Like on TV, 458 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: I learned so much about myself. But I truly would 459 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: recommend anyone who goes on the show to to really 460 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: check in with yourself and be in tune with who 461 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: you are and how much do you love yourself and 462 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: making sure that you're not looking for that validation from elsewhere, 463 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: because I think that's where it gets a little bit tricky. Yeah, 464 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I think a lot of us can 465 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: learn quite a bit from you, Nancy. And I love 466 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: what you just said, like saying, yeah, she's a hot girl, 467 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: but so am I. I know my value, I know 468 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: what I bring to the table. I love that. And 469 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: have you ever dated a younger guy? No? That was 470 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: my first. And it's it's funny because I joke about 471 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: it like never again because you don't know what could happen, 472 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: but literally like never again, only because I'm thirty three now. 473 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: So it's like there are things that I accepted in 474 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: that relationship that I will not accept in my future relationships. 475 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: And so I think if I didn't learn from that relationship, 476 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: what am I doing? Like why would I make you 477 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: know the same mistakes and whatnot. So I'm I'm single, 478 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm open to dating. I've got so many really cool 479 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: plans coming up, and so I just feel like I'm 480 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: excited to start dating again. But at the same time, 481 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: like we're putting boundaries up exactly. I think that's important 482 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: from the beginning. From the beginning, just saying hey, this 483 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: is what I'm okay with and I'm not okay with this, 484 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: and it's just like, so we don't waste each other's time. 485 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: It's kind of like when we get to this age, 486 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: I feel like, let's just put it out there.

And he'd be like no, not today, and 500 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm like okay, we'll talk to me like what's going on? 501 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: But then the next day, you know, or a few 502 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: days go by and we're still checking in on each 503 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: other back and forth. Um, but really, just for that, 504 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: I think talking terms is the best way to put it. 505 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: But to say friends, like friends with my ex is 506 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: gonna do in this particular case, We'll do nothing for 507 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: me for my future, you know what I mean? Like 508 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: I hate to say it like that, but like, how 509 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: is me being friends with you going to help me 510 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: with my career? How is it going to help me 511 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: with my dating? Like, if anything, that's baggage. So like 512 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: you know, I'm here to cheer him on from Afar 513 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: and wish the best for him, but definitely not friends. Yeah, 514 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: you can care about people from Afar. So I did 515 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: hear that you donated your eggs in grad school. Yeah, 516 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: I did it in San Francisco, so I think every 517 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: state might be different. So basically, a total of eight 518 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: times is what I donated my eggs for. And so yeah, 519 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: it was in grad school. I want to say that, 520 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: like I might have done the last two when I 521 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: left grad school. So I was already out of school, 522 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: and I think I had flown back. I want to 523 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: I want to say that's actually what happened, is I 524 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: flew back after I left San Francisco to do like 525 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: another cycle, a couple more cycles with the company. Oh, 526 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: I see, Okay, do they inform you once like those 527 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: eggs are fertilized or you or no, like you just 528 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: donate those eggs and that's that you're done with it. Yeah, 529 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: So once I donate once, they when it's called the retrieval. 530 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: So once the retrieval happens, and um, the eggs are 531 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: given to the family. If the family is currently in 532 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: the IVF process, that means that they have to take 533 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: my eggs and I hope, I'm I'm not sure if 534 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: I'm getting the terminology right, but essentially they have to 535 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: fertilize the embryos. If that's what they want. UM, if 536 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: the family wants to sync up not only my cycle 537 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: and the retrieval, but also with them, and then they 538 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: would have in betro happened there now out of like 539 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: let's say, let's say I they were able to extract 540 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: twenty eggs. From those twenty eggs, only maybe eighteen of 541 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: them might be viable eggs to be able to be fertilized. 542 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: And then from there then the family can decide, well, 543 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: how you know, you only fertilize one because you don't 544 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: want to fertilize all of them. And then so essentially 545 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: it's really up to the families what they do. And 546 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: I don't know any of this, UM. So what whenever 547 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: I get the information back to me is if the 548 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: family chooses to send me a letter or UM, have 549 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: the agency contact me and say, hey, by the way, UM, 550 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: the family has had a baby. It's been six months 551 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, UM it was a boy. So so I 552 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: only got about two of the calls after I donated 553 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: months later, like what actually happened. But the families have 554 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: options like either they fertilize there like in that moment 555 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: when when they get the eggs, they can also freeze 556 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: some of the eggs. If they want to have siblings, 557 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: they can also donate to research or discard them. So 558 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: there are options of what the families can do with 559 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: the like like I said, twenty eggs and let's say 560 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: eighteen or viable. So it just kind of depends on that. 561 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: And I think one of the things too, And I 562 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: know this kind of random, but on my YouTube channel, 563 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: like when I talk about like my real estate, I 564 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: also want to be talking about these topics because I 565 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,719 Speaker 1: do think it's important one in in the Latino culture, 566 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: Like it's just not comment to have these conversations. And 567 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: and I think, like, if anything, if it's wanting to 568 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: freeze your eggs, what does that look like? If you're 569 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: wanting to be a donor, what does that look like? 570 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: And and I just think having a long form platform 571 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: is a really great way to get this information out 572 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: from my experiences and like what are options that are 573 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: out there for people? Why did you decide to donate? Yeah, 574 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: so initially I had gotten into grad school and at 575 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: this time, it was like the it was the first 576 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: semester and I was going into my second semester, and 577 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: I knew that I still had like um funds to 578 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: like have to pay for school, and so I went 579 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: on the school's website. Honestly, it was as easy as 580 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: that they had like a job's for like students, like, um, 581 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: whether you wanted to be a nanny or like other 582 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: odd jobs that um you could work at that that 583 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,239 Speaker 1: either local San Francisco people would post on there. So 584 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: it was a job Google search, I guess, um, and 585 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: there was an ad for egg donating and that was 586 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: like my first question of like wait, like people, I 587 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: know there was like sperm banks, but I didn't know 588 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: like egg donating was even a thing. So UM, I 589 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: went through the process of inquiring like while do I 590 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: even qualify? Like what is this process? And I learned 591 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: so much, even just from the interview process about genetic testing, 592 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: and I learned about the likelihood of like what are 593 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: the risks and what are the benefits and what kinds 594 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: of families are a part of this community and it 595 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, even just learning that it could be like 596 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: a same sex a couple family, or it could be 597 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: um a single parent, or it can be a family 598 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: that has been struggling to have children. So even just 599 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: learning about that. Although it started from a job post 600 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: like on my school's website. It really just carried through 601 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: so much more needs and it is for that particular company. 602 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: They're very stringent on their process getting applicants to be donors. 603 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: So by like three months in, I had had so 604 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: many interviews, psychological testing, um, genetic testing, that you can 605 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: still say no at any point. Even if I was 606 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: selected and there was a family waiting for me, I 607 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: could still say no before I go through the process. 608 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: So I think just really learning about the impact that 609 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: it would have on the lives of a family, just 610 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: even one family, even if I only got chosen once, 611 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 1: I just knew that that was something that was in 612 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: my heart to like still do. Oh so you guys, 613 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: she's single, Um, she's single. I don't know. She says 614 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: she's kind of ready to mingle. But she has boundaries now, 615 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: which I think is is good as well. I think 616 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: boundaries are good in every relationship, friendships, families. So anyways, 617 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: I did want to ask you, like, I mean, we've 618 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: talked about it like throughout our conversation, but is there 619 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: anything like that you would like to tell people, Like 620 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: what you learned, like the biggest lesson that you learned 621 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,719 Speaker 1: in this process this experiment with that love is wind. Yeah, 622 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to feel self love and it's 623 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: one thing to know like, oh I love myself and 624 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: to say it, but to actually watch myself go through 625 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: that process of falling in love and it being extra 626 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: love and then getting my heartbroken. But he didn't break me, 627 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: you know. Like I think one thing that I learned 628 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: from this experiences that Bartisse and I will always have 629 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: our love story, but he is not my life story. 630 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: And so I think that that's something like when you're 631 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: getting through a heartbreak, Like I went through the natural 632 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: stages of a heartbreak afterwards, and whether it was crying 633 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: out of nowhere or not having an appetite or finding 634 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, what made me happy again, whether it was 635 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: dancing or working out or being busier traveling, Like I think, 636 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: just really remembering that some people come into our lives 637 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: for a period of time, and I would hope that 638 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: our relationship really just shed some light and how you 639 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: can have like respectful conversations when there are big differences, right, 640 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: whether it was a conversation about family planning or the 641 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: conversation about financial planning that was a big you know, 642 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: that was a big one too for us, and so 643 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: I just hope that looking back, people can really embrace 644 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: themselves and love on themselves harder than anyone else, because 645 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: any any extra love that is given or receipt should 646 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: be extra. And I think that's the cherry on top, 647 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: is like find it first within yourself and even if 648 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: you have harder days like I there are harder days, 649 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: and that's okay too, but but understanding that the big 650 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: picture is that you were there for you first, and 651 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: then anything else set is extra from other people.
