8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: the radio. I feel I want a radio shop, which

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,480

Speaker 1: It's like, then you don't how to sound like that.

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: You can loosen up a little bit. It's like, okay,

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: because of you, I was influenced. Where is that from Reformation?

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: It's great. It's like a cashmere just like great cardigan,

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: and I wear it all of the time. It's like

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: my go too. I think you targeted me with like

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: the words of like, um, it's expensive, but it's a

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: piece that I'll like wear for forever. Something like. That's

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: something that I would say, yeah, because people get so

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: mad when I post things that are expensive and then

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: I wear it like a thousand times and they're like,

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: WHOA really wearing that? Sweater lot. I'm like, oh yeah,

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: actually a lot of money. The same thing happened and

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: I posted, so you know how much I wear those heels,

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: my strappy black heels, and they want to have it.

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I literally wear them with every single outfit. I think

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm probably warned them a thousand times. They're expensive, they're

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars. Yeah, but I think I've warned them.

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm not even joking over a thousand times to the bone,

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: to the bone, like they're basically the straps are starting

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: to like, yeah, like, you know how many pairs of

31
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: like one hundred dollars black heels I bought? So mad

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I'd rather just buy one. That's my whole thing now,

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: is quality over quantity. Oh, I'm with you. Yeah. But

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: then like some like butterfly shirt that I like, we'll

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: come out and I'll be like, I'm gonna get that.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: That's practical. Yeah, like I'm gonna wear that Butterflies. No,

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: I just trendy. Right now, we have so much to

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: get into. I was just talking to Tanya that I

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: want to say I followed you. You can correct me.

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: You might know this. It could be lying, but I

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: feel like I followed you or I knew about you

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: and your food blog before I realize that you and

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: Amanda were sisters. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes people are like,

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: wait is Amanda, Like is she your best friend or something?

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, she's my sister. And so Amanda stand

46
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: she was on Ben season with me. For those who

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: are trying to connect the dots. But now you look y'all,

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: look you look Kinsley as your child in my mind,

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: your twins. Yeah. So whenever we like go on public,

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god, you and your daughter

51
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: look exactly the same. And I'm like, thank yeah, she's

52
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: like my little twin. And I feel like now that

53
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: Amanda has brown hair, oh yeah, is her hair brown

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: at this moment? No, it's tunny. Yeah, but like the

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: darker Amanda's hair goes, the more we look. Yes, it's crazy.

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: So when like what was the cross? When did you

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: start your your food blog Rock your Body? Like, when

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: did that begin? I started in twenty seventeen, okay, so

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: I think it was like a year and a half

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: two years maybe when we when was Ben's season for

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: The Bachelor We filmed twenty and fifteen, aired twenty sixteen, Okay,

62
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: so it was like the year after. So Amanda was

63
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: like blowing up like her like rise to fame after

64
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, and she was like doing like all like

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: sugarbaar hair might have been had and like you know,

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: like crushing it her career. And I'm like, wow, this

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: is really cool. And I was doing real estate at

68
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the time. I'm just going to dive, right, and I guess, yeah,

69
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: my origins, right. I was doing real estate at the time,

70
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: and I was working nine nine to five, and then

71
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: I had a serving job from five thirty to like

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: eleven afterwards because my nine to five job, like I

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: made like no money, and so I eventually like got

74
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: burnt out quit the serving job, and I'm like, hey,

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: what do I do with my spare time? And I'm

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: like my boyfriend at the time was like, you have

77
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: to start a food blox, always cooking like loved it.

78
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, maybe I'll get big enough

79
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: to where like people will send us some like free

80
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: food and that would be helpful, like you know, to

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: have some like free growth trees. And I remember thinking

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: like if I ought to ten thousand followers and if

83
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: like vital Proteins sent me like a pr package, I

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: will die Like that would be the coolest thing ever.

85
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: So that was like kind of like my goal and

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: I knew that. Like Instagram, it was like really kind

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: of in the beginning, and I knew that like you know,

88
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: people were you know me and I was making money.

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: That was never really like in my head. I was

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: more so just like oh she gets like cool free stuff. Yeah,

91
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: and like this is cool. So I just like gave

92
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: it a shot and yeah, here we are. No okay, no,

93
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: no, no no, no not. There's a lot of growth between.

94
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: I know, a lot of stuff because I know I

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: think that you know, a lot of people listening want

96
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: to either maybe it's not food, maybe it's not a

97
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: food blog, but they want to start their own blog

98
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and they want to monetize. They want to make that

99
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: their career. How do you like make money off of

100
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: a blog? Okay, So I think the first thing to

101
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: say about that because I do get a lot of

102
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: people asking, like I want to start making money off

103
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: of social media? How did you pick cooking? Like how

104
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: did you you decide that you wanted to be a foodloger?

105
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's not how it works. Like I've

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: always loved cooking and then I'm like, Oka, I'm gonna

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: start posting my recipes and like see where it goes.

108
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: So I think like it just comes down to, like

109
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: what are you passionate about? What is something that like

110
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: you could talk about all day long and I get

111
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: sick of? For me, it's food. I could literally sit

112
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: here and talk about food, like all of it for

113
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: hours and hours. So that's kind of like how it

114
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: all began. And then what was the second question you asked?

115
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: How do you monetize a blog? Like how do you

116
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: make that your job? Like how do you live off

117
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: of that? Well, it started out. I mean I worked

118
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: my full time job for like two years, I think,

119
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: so I quit in twenty nineteen my job. Yeah, so

120
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: it took me like two years to start making money.

121
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: I remember the first person was like this like cocon

122
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: oil brand, and they offered me thirty dollars for a

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: post and I was like, oh my god, absolutely, Like

124
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: this is amazing, So will pay for my Starbucks for

125
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: the month, like because I would get Starbucks on like

126
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: Fridays or whatever, and I thought I was like the

127
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: coolest thing ever. And then you know it kind of

128
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: like it started off with a lot of like affiliate

129
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: like people would be like, we'll give you a percentage

130
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: of the commission, and I'd be like all right, cool,

131
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: and I like worked my ass off and it was

132
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: obviously products that I like was using an into and

133
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: people were buying it, and then that brand was like, hey,

134
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: we want to start paying you monthly, and then that

135
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of just like snowballed into a fullbawn career. So

136
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: way I would say, like wild, yeah, I'd say like

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of my income is through like brand partnerships,

138
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: but I do make money off like my actual website blog,

139
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: like I put like some ads on there and that,

140
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: like it's like, you know, so like the food so

141
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: I'm like the food company. The food companies will pay

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: you to use their products, but their products that you

143
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: use and that you like yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And

148
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: that like influencer category as well, but I still do

149
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,240

169
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,440

00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: uses seed oils. Yeah, which is the nerve. The nerve exactly.

171
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Why would you want to use cheaper products when you're

172
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: feeding me. But so I'm trying to like do but

186
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: like kind of like overwhelming for people. But I will

187
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: say I get a lot of messages from people like

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: you that are like I don't really feel comfortable, and

189
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,040

190
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: recipes to you because like honestly, like I don't really

Speaker 1: Like okay, I'm gonna like bake something and make like

194
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: a really nice dinner. And then for the most part,

195
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: like I'm busy and I'm like trying to like whip

196
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: things out. Yeah. When I see an ingredients list that's

197
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: like longer than my hand, I good bye. No, did

198
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: you have a post that went viral where you were like,

199
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like this is really this blew up?

200
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: What do you remembering the crunch trap the talk about

201
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: the French trap spreme. I remade it with like my

202
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: girlfriends and posted it and it was like it like

203
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: blew up, and I was like, oh, okay, people love

204
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: Taco Bell. Yeah, so I was like the Taco bellt

205
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: girl for a minute, which I love. So when that happened,

206
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: when was that was that? That wasn't like twenty seventeen

207
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: or twenty eighteen, Okay, So it was like it was

208
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: like six seven months after I started my blog, and yeah,

209
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: post to that, like and you never really know what's

210
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna like hit and what's not. Yea, I was sup

211
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: posted a chilly recipe that like I wasn't very proud of.

212
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: It was kind of an ugly photo and it did

213
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: really well because people were like, oh, I really want

214
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: to make this. And that's when I realized that my

215
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: target audience wasn't people that wanted to see like a

216
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: beautiful photo and like it being plated super nicely. They

217
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: wanted to see something that looked appetizing that they felt

218
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: like they could make. And that was kind of a

219
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: turning point for me because I was trying to post

220
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: like smoothie bowls and pretty avocado toast, which I look

221
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: back now and it was all so ugly, but I

222
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: was like just trying to have a pretty feed. Yeah,

223
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: because I saw a lot of people that had that.

224
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: So I think that kind of goes back to like

225
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: not trying to copy what other people are doing and

226
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: really just staying in your own lane and being like,

227
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: what do I want to eat for dinner tonight? That's

228
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: what I'm going to post, and that's still genuinely what

229
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: I do. I don't cook food just to post on Instagram.

230
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: I cook food that I am actually going to eat

231
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: and I eat all of it. Yeah, well I was

232
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: you posted it was like a question and like a

233
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: Q and a excuse me, a Q and a thing.

234
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: And someone asked you, I don't know what the exact

235
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: question was, but it was like doing a man to

236
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: ever get jealous of each other because you're in the

237
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: same industry, right, And you said something that was just

238
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: so it was so simple but so sweet, and I

239
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: was like, that is exactly what it's supposed to be

240
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: like with the friends and sisters. But you said they.

241
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: I think your answer was like, no, like her wins

242
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: are my wins, and vice versa. And I was like,

243
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: that is so powerful to have that mentality because I think,

244
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: especially when it's your sister, there's that like you know,

245
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: natural just competitive energy. And I thought it was such

246
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing because this industry in general is so

247
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: can feel very like competitive, and there's so many people

248
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: doing the same thing totally inverted to be your sister.

249
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: But I loved that. Yeah, I feel like we're just

250
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: so we're so differently, always having so different so I've

251
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: just net we've never been competitive ever. And it's funny

252
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: because like I guess, like sometimes I feel that with

253
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: other women and like, you know, people that are maybe

254
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: doing like the same thing that I'm doing and they're

255
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, a step ahead of me, and I look

256
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: at them, but I don't know. We've just never felt

257
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: that with my sister, And like genuinely, when something she's

258
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: doing something great, I'm like so happy for her. And

259
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: it's weird because people always ask me that, and no,

260
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: she's been like my number one supporter since I started.

261
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: So I found you because she was always always posting

262
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: was brock your body recipes? Yeah, Like, oh gosh, it's

263
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: funny too because like when I first started, and like

264
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: still is this day, she would post me and she'd

265
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: be like, my sister started a food blog and I

266
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: was posting like stuff that wasn't necessarily looking back, wasn't

267
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: very me. And I would get like five thousand followers

268
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: and then like I would start posting and like they

269
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: would all unfollow me because I was just posting like

270
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't, you know, not necessarily where I'm at now.

271
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: So people always ask me, they're like, oh, do you

272
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: owe do you think you owe a lot of your

273
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: success to your sister? And while yes, she's helped me

274
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: so much and supported me, I'm like, it definitely takes

275
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: a lot to get people to actually stick like you

276
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: have to figure it out. You have to do stuff

277
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: that's like people are engaging with and that I hate

278
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: that thing. I hate that notion too because it's also

279
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: everybody needed somebody to get to where they are today.

280
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like people aren't You

281
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: don't just like get born and then you get born.

282
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: You don't get born. You don't get born birthed and

283
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: then you are the you know whatever. I don't even know.

284
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know. You don't get birthed and then

285
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: get paid. You know what I'm saying. You don't get birth,

286
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: you don't get paid. Like you have to work your way.

287
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: It's all about relationships and yeah, nobody understands that you

288
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: get the Yeah, totally agree. Would you feel jealous if

289
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: if Amanda got asked to do a campaign with Taylor

290
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Swift and he's in it? Do you want to know why?

291
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: Before you started this question, I was thinking I am

292
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: not a very jealous person. I just am not. Yeah,

293
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: And when I saw the photo of you and Taylor Swift,

294
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: I was like, I was confused. Used, I'm like, what

295
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: are these emotions that I have right now? I'm like,

296
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: I think I'm feeling true jealousy and I. It was

297
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: like new to me, and I'm like, wow, I am

298
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: so jealous of I like felt jealous of myself, Like

299
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: I get it. I thought it was fake. I thought

300
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: the photo was fake, and then I I did too.

301
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: I was like, what did she do this photoshop? Sick? Okay?

302
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: So that really all that I have a like a

303
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: one person connection, one degree, one degree. Oh my god,

304
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: we found again, we found the one trigger that can

305
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: bring out the jealous side of you, competitives. Yeah, that's

306
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: the truly like the lot. The last time I can

307
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: remember feeling true jealousy was when I saw that photo

00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: that was recent. Yeah yeah, it was those Grammys. Yeah

Speaker 1: was not longer ago, last and only. Yeah, it was

311
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: like the most jealous I've ever been in my entire life.

312
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Wow, I'm sorry I brought that out. Um,

Speaker 1: don't have tickets. Yeah, okay, we're gonna get there. A

331
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: man is going this weekend in Vegas. Oh that's what

332
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: so I thought. For some reason, Vegas was in my mind,

333
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: so I thought I was gonna go with her. But

334
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: I go to this like concert, dumb concert thing and

335
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: SnO called Mustache Patch. It's like a seventies party, and

336
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: me and all my college friends always go every single year.

337
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go to that instead? Will I regret that?

338
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you will see? Yeah, but I'm going in La

339
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, I know it's the end of

340
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: the tour. Okay, Like part of me, part of me

341
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: has been like even watching the Arizona concert, I was like,

342
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: do I get on seat geek and see how I

343
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: could find I was like, why did we not go

344
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: to the opening night of the show? Tickets? Was? It

345
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: was a frenzy? Yeah that's true. Yeah, we couldn't even

346
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: get tickets in our own city. I don't like, I

347
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: don't like to contribute to that like madness. I'm like,

348
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to stay in my city. I'm gonna be good.

349
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm like such a rule follower. I'm like, I'm not

350
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: going to contribute to this craziness. Are you a rule follower?

351
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would literally say that you would. I

352
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: would have guessed the total opposite. Oh my god. No,

353
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: like I'm reading signs everywhere I go. I will follow

354
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: the rules. Wait, I want to bring it back for

355
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: a minute because I'm sorry, Yeah, it's okay, I took

356
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: it to a turn, but I want to bring it

357
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: back a little bit because I think that a lot

358
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: of our listeners or maybe doing jobs like you were

359
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: saying that you were doing this job that you didn't

360
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: necessarily love, yes, correct? Could you? Would you say hey?

361
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say hey, okay. I was also like two

362
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: twenty three, Yeah, and my job was like very relaxed.

363
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: I would like on Friday as I would like go

364
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: and get my nails do and like get drunk with

365
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: my coworker and like it was like a period of

366
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: time in my life that was like I had no stress.

367
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: Like yeah, now I'm then like I have a never

368
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: ending amount of work. Like I'm sure you guys can

369
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: relate to that as you just never turn it off.

370
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: So looking back, I mean, yeah, I was making like

371
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: twenty four thousand dollars a year after taxes, which was

372
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: russ living in San Diego. But besides being broke, I

373
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: was pretty happy. But it's interesting because I like, it

374
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: takes a lot of courage to do what you did,

375
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: and I think that not a lot of people necessarily

376
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: take that leap or take that step. And I just

377
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: kind of want you to talk about like that time

378
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: in your life where you knew you were doing this job.

379
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: This wasn't your forever job. I know you were like

380
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: talking about how you know then a man started doing

381
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: this stuff through Instagram. I've got that idea, but I

382
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: think it takes a leap of faith, and like there's

383
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: a there's a period of time where you're feeling unsettled.

384
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah. I think the people that are listening

385
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: that maybe you are going through that process or want to,

386
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: you know, do a career change. What are some pieces

387
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: of advice or kind of when you were in that

388
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 1: pivoting right moment. I think the hardest part for me

389
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: was actually like starting the page and starting to post,

390
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: because I'm like, oh my god, here i am just

391
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: another girl trying to be a blogger, you know, and

392
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: you kind of like feel a little bit like judge, Yeah,

393
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: like are my friends going to like talk about me?

394
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Like are they going to like think I'm lame and

395
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: like all this stuff? And it's funny because they actually

396
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: ended up being my biggest supporters and like so happy

397
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: for me. And I think it's kind of like if

398
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: you're really worried so much about what someone's going to think,

399
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: you like, is that person really your friend if they're

400
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: not going to just like blindly support you if you're

401
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, trying to help other people. And I think

402
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: that also another thing is like if you're trying to

403
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: start out, think about how you can genuinely help other

404
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: people and like bring something to the table that maybe

405
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: you think'smissing. For me, when I was scrolling on Instagram

406
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: and looking at other bloggers, you're posting recipes and I'm like, Okay,

407
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: well they're getting bone broth at Whole Foods and like

408
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: that's expensive, or they're I would like go to the

409
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: store and spend like forty dollars to try and make

410
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: like a protein ball recipe, and I'm like, what am

411
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I doing? Like this isn't this isn't really like what

412
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: I want to be doing. So I was like, how

413
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: do I make recipes that are really practical and they're easy?

414
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: And I'm going to go to another huge thing I

415
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: did to start out. I was like, I'm gonna go

416
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: to Trader Joe's and do like only ingredients from Trader

417
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Joe's because I feel like that's like a you know,

418
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: affordable grocery store. And I want my main thing is

419
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: like you said, like you look at this long ingredients list.

420
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to look at my

421
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: ingredients list and say either A I have that already

422
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: or B I can go to the store, and I

423
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: know exactly where to find that. I'm not gonna have

424
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: to like go up to a worker and be like,

425
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: excuse me, where do I find like this obscure like

426
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: spice or whatever. So I think finding like maybe a

427
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: gap in you know, the market or to the market. Yeah,

428
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: I need a gap in the market, and being like,

429
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: what would I when I like log onto Instagram or

430
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: TikTok or whatever it is, what kind of content do

431
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: I want to see? And I think obviously mine was food,

432
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: And it's also kind of evolved more into like I

433
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: talk a lot about my anxiety and body image. Like

434
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: for me, I feel like when I go on Instagram,

435
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people with like either being

436
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: really thin or you know, being plus sized and you know,

437
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: being talking about that and being super you know, body

438
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: positive and all this stuff. But I'm like, I never

439
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: really see people with like my body type, which is

440
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: like I feel like I'm just kind of like just

441
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of normal. So I started really talking about, like,

442
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is the size clothing I wear, and

443
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: I really want to see more people, you know, showing

444
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: their bodies and being really confident that look like me.

445
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: So I think that's something that people have resonated with

446
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: a lot. So I just kind of try and produce

447
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: the content that I want to see out there. I

448
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: think that's something that's that's helpful to think about, Yeah,

449
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: and saying consistent. I do think though that A big

450
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: thing that you said of like when you decided you

451
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: wanted to quit the serving job, was what is something

452
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: that I'm passionate about? Like what is something that I

453
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: already like doing that I can start? And I think

454
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it is like not doing

455
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: something that you're like, oh, I can make a lot

456
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: of money potentially doing this, but doing something where you're like,

457
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: I already love doing this. So let's see if I

458
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: came monitor, you know, let's see if I can build

459
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: something where I can eventually monetize. I know, I was

460
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: Actually I had a girlfriend who loved, loved decorating for

461
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: the holidays and like making wreaths and like all this stuff.

462
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: And so she was working a corporate job and was

463
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: just miserable, like just soul sucking. Yeah, and so she

464
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: opened an Etsy shop and kind of did all that

465
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: stuff for other people, made wreaths for different seasons and

466
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: would come and like decorate their home for the holidays

467
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: and stuff and like made like a job out of it.

468
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that is so rad, you know what

469
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Like that's something that she loved to do,

470
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: just naturally and she went out and did it. Yeah.

471
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: I think also, I think people are like, oh, you

472
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: have to take this like big leap of faith. I

473
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: personally did not do that. I did both. I kept

474
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: my job and then afterwards I would make content for

475
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: my Instagram And it wasn't until I was making a

476
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: significant amount of money that I left my job. So

477
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: I made sure that I was like feeling very comfortable

478
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: so it doesn't have to be this big scary thing.

479
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: You know, you can do both for a while. And

480
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: that was exhausting. It was like it's a lot of work,

481
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: but it can be done. You just have to like

482
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: prioritize it. Honestly, it wasn't even really that crazy. Like

483
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: I would get out of work at five, I'd come

484
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: home and then I was cooking dinner every single night anyway.

485
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: So it was it was before reels and all that.

486
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: The times were much so hard. It was just like

487
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: take a like sty photo my dinner, and people loved

488
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: it so you know, things have changed a bit, but yeah,

489
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: you can. I feel like you can do both. So

490
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: maybe try it out. And if you're like, oh my god,

491
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: no this is not working for me, then you know,

492
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: assess from there. But yeah, it doesn't have to be

493
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: this like crazy like Okay, I'm gonna quit my job

494
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: and like live off my savings, like take it easy. Yeah, start,

495
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: we can start one step at a time. Totally. Yeah.

496
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: But also I think it's a testament of like it

497
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: wasn't like I think if people see you and they

498
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: hear your story just without any details, are like, oh,

499
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: it happened overnight, But it was not overnight. It happened.

500
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: It was years of you, yeah, you know, putting in

501
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: the effort, in the work, and like I even when

502
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: I switched, when TikTok came about and I was like,

503
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: oh no, I have to get on TikTok, I felt like,

504
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: such my first TikTok is so cringe that, like I

505
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: can't believe it's still up, honestly, but there was this

506
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I remember that feeling and being like I don't feel

507
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: like I belong here, and I'm going to put in

508
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: this work of editing and creating and it's going to

509
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: get like no engagement, and it's like that can be

510
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: a defeating feeling of like starting brand new and also

511
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: being like what are people going to think or say?

512
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: But that's such a good perspective. If the people that

513
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: you keep in your life are going to judge you

514
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: or make you feel silly for doing something that you're

515
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: excited about, maybe they're not your friend. Yeah, and everybody's

516
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: gonna judge you for something true. Like I'm like, I

517
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: told you, like I get dams all the time about

518
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: rand but I'm like, I'm living my truth, so it

519
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: really doesn't affect me totally. I totally agree. Yeah, and

520
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: that comes with also like just age and like learning

521
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: about what's important, whose opinion is worth, who has the value? Yeah,

522
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: I think we should take a break and come back

523
00:24:47,960 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: switching gears. Amazing. I'm like we're just saying, like we

524
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: just stare at you for the break. All right, we're back.

525
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: I want to switch gears, switch them. Wow, let's get deep.

526
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: We're not gonna go that deep kind of deep. Okay,

527
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: that sounded so invasive, so sorry. Yeah. Wow, Um, you

528
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: recently shared your relationship. When was that? Was that Christmas?

529
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: Right after Christmas. When I shared the relationship, you shared

530
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: it publicly, not to close friends. That was in November.

531
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: When you officially shared it was November. Yeah close friends,

532
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: yeah jam oh shoot, that's the close friends. I always

533
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: debate on like if I want to close friends or not,

534
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: and I, oh, I need it really well, I think

535
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: specific I get it because like before Haley and I

536
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: were public, I like, if I shared anything about Hayley,

537
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: was all my close friends. But um, you were. You

538
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: took your time sharing that and making it public. Um,

539
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: what was the I don't know where I want to

540
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: start with the relationship questions because I want I'm curious,

541
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: Like you talked about being in a relationship. Um. Earlier

542
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: on the podcast, you were talking about how you were

543
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: in a relationship when you were at your old job

544
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: and that guy, Oh, let's go, and that's the way

00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: to push you to do the food blog. Yeah, how fiance?

546
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: How long I had? This is news to me. Oh

547
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: my god. Really, how long were you engaged or how long? Well,

548
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: I was in that relationship for six years and I

549
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: was engaged for the last year. We're runaway bride, Oh

550
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, my god. Not really. We didn't plan a

551
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: wedding or anything. But yeah, I was. So I was

552
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: engaged and then I was single for three and a

553
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: half years before I met my current boyfriend, which was

554
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: much needed. My ex fiance is amazing. He's great, great parson,

555
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: sweetest man. What happened, I just was like I was

556
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: so young when I met him, when I was twenty one,

557
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: and I remember meeting him and being like, I don't

558
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: want a boyfriend. I need to be single. I'm twenty

559
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: one years old. But he was so sweet, and I'm like, oh,

560
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: I should be with this with this man because he's

561
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: not he's a good guy. Yeah, but um yeah, you know,

562
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: sometimes you need a little more than just a nice guy.

563
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: And it took a while to realize that. But um

564
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: ooh yeah, I just needed some like independence until like

565
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: I needed to be single and like run around and

566
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, work on my career and just be by myself.

567
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: So my gut was telling me that for a while

568
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: when I was trying to ignore it. So always listen

569
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: to your gut. I was gonna, so you get engaged,

570
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: you're what, You're six, you're six, you're five, you're five, Yeah,

571
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: five to six was engaged my year when he proposed,

572
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: did your gut immediately say like, oh my god, no, okay.

573
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: So my thing was I kept being like, oh, okay,

574
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: well now I'm twenty five. So so when you're twenty five,

575
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: like most people set down at this age, so I'm

576
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna stop having these thoughts of like wanting my independence

577
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: and wanting not wanting to be in a relationship, Like

578
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: now I'm ready to settle down. And then it wouldn't

579
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: go away, and then we'd move in together and I'd

580
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: be like, okay, now we're moving in. This is final

581
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: because I wanted it. I wanted to be in the

582
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: relationship because there wasn't really anything wrong, but it was

583
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: my like my gut was just like no, no, no,

584
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: you don't want this. And then so when he proposed,

585
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is great, this is happy,

586
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: this is a good thing that's happening. And now that

587
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: you're engaged, now you'll be fine. Now you'll want to

588
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: be like settled and like you'll be happy now. And

589
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: then it never went away, and it just never went away.

590
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: So like your gut was like you was just like

591
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: trying to convince yourself that you were the whole time

592
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, yeah, because he's so sweet. Yeah, And

593
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: I think that happens to a lot of people, where

594
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: it's like, this is the guy that I had written

595
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: down on paper, right, Yeah, totally. He was the guy

596
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: that you always thought you would end up with. Yeah.

597
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean there was like some some issues obviously, but

598
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: for the most part, yeah, Like he didn't treat me

599
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: badly at all. So I was like, why would I

600
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: right up with this person? That makes no sense. I've

601
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: never known anyone that was happy in a relationship that

602
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: like the person treated them well and then they broke

603
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: up with them. That's not normal. So it took me

604
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: a while to realize that my feelings were normal. I

605
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: was very much you know, my feelings were very valid.

606
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, that happened, and then I moved to LA

607
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, this is gonna

608
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: be horrible for my career because I'm gonna look like

609
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: this terrible person. But you would be surprised how many

610
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: people could relate and we're like, wow, that's like, good

611
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: for you for for doing that. And I was shocked,

612
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: truly shocked by that. I thought that people were going

613
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: to be like, you're evil, and people were really sweet.

614
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people can relate and then

615
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: also even like envy the guts it took to leave, yeah,

616
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: because like yeah, because like a lot of people are

617
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I don't know if it's worth a

618
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: that that for song. I'm like, oh, why why don't

619
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: I just like, you know, ignore these feelings and I'll

620
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: be like eighty percent a half percent happy for the

621
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: rest of my life just to make this person one

622
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent happy. Because like I was like, maybe I'll

623
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: just do that, but wow, that's I don't I know, honestly,

624
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: I'll give myself eighty percent happiness to make this person

625
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: one hundred percent Yeah. Yeah, But you know what, at

626
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like if someone was with

627
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: me and was thinking those things, I'd be like, no,

628
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to be with someone that's only eighty

629
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: percent happy. Yeah. So at the end of the day,

630
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: everything worked out the way it was supposed to work out,

631
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: and so happy I did what I did. I obviously

689
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: turn me off. It doesn't even have to be be opened toe,

690
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: just a certain type of shoe. I can't. I don't

691
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: want to see men's feet, like I don't want to

692
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: see your feet. I think this is how I know

693
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: that I'm like extremely obsessed in love with my boyfriend.

694
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Is I think he has like the cutest feet, and

695
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: I know his feet are not actually cute, but I'm like,

696
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: your feet are so cute. And then and like in

697
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: my head, I'm like this is chemicals in my brain

698
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: like malfunctioning. These are I know it's messed up. I

699
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: get it. I I I fawn over my boyfriend's hands. Really,

700
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: I feel like all three of us are like obsessed

701
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: in love with her. Yeah, which is kind of fun.

702
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: But I'm sure you guys know people don't like that

703
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: on the internet, do you evereple mean you guys? No? No, yeah,

704
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: people really mean. Because why I think it's because I

705
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: was like a single girl, like super independent. I had

706
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: those like I had that like following and then I

707
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: just like fell super in love with my boyfriend and

708
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: people were like, oh my god, you're so annoying. They

709
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: like totally flipped the switch. Most people are really happy.

710
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: But like I never really got had haters before because

711
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I just post food and stuff. Yeah,

712
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: so I didn't really get that out of haters, but

713
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: I really a bad haters now. Like so interesting because

714
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: I was kind of the same way, Like I was

715
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: like the single girl, you know what I mean. Like ever,

716
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: I was like everybody's single girl on the journey, on

717
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: her journey to you know, her desire of her heart,

718
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: you know her happy ending, and so I that was

719
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: like my thing for a really long time. And so um,

720
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: I guess I did kind of expect it when I

721
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: got into a relationship because I just was so in

722
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: love with him, Like it was like this is what

723
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for, you know, and I am obsessed

724
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: with him. But I didn't get maybe one or two

725
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: like i'd get one or two comments about it. But

726
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: maybe it's because I never said, like I'm on my

727
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: journey to find the one. I was like, I'm I'm

728
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: single and I'm super happy. But I would say, like,

729
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, when someone comes into my life and it's right,

730
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: then it's going to be right now, It'll be good.

731
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: So maybe that's why because I was yah, yeah, I

732
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: love my independence, which I still do. Yeah, we were talking.

733
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: You have separate room, yeah that you sleep in. No,

734
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: we sleep together, but like he sleeps in my room.

Speaker 1: his space. Yeah, like he has it. Yeah yeah, tellfee.

00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: blossomed from there. We were long distance for a bit,

762
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: and I didn't show him for a while because we

763
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: were a long distance and it felt like I wasn't

764
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: really ready to share him. So I also think that

765
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: people I introduced him a little bit later, so I

766
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: think people, um, they don't really know him yet. He's

767
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: also like kind of camera shies. I don't show him

768
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: that much yea. Um, but yeah, we've been dating for

769
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: like seven months. No, I think, um, and yeah, it's

770
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: like it was long distance for a while and then

771
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: now we've been together for about like fully for three months.

772
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: It's been like so great. When you went to Brooklyn,

871
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: People always get mad when I asked this question because

872
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: they're like aren't We passed the stage of asking people

873
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: want kids, but the stage of saying when are you

874
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: going to have kids? As if with the Wild Nurse.

875
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,879

876
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: but someone got upset with me. Anyways, I think it's

877
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: a conversation because when you gonna kids, want to kids?

878
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: Because and also we talk about it too, because Becca

879
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: is like unsure, yeah, and I was gonna say, now,

880
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: it's there's a conversation of like people feeling comfortable to

881
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: say like, yeah, no, I don't want kids, you know

882
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: totally where I don't think there was safety in that

883
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: I want kids. I feel like now me and Amanda

884
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,319

885
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: she will she wants to have babies with Michael. Yeah,

886
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: so like hopefully they'll be closer. I was like, can

887
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: you wait a little bit, and she's like, no, oh,

888
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: she can't wait. I think she yeah, I think they

889
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: want to get going. Yeah. My favorite photo from her

890
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: wedding was the photo of you in the My mom

891
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: has that framed in her house. It's so good. It's

892
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: so good. Um, if you had any dream collab with

893
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: any brand, who would it be Oh my god, such

894
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: a good question. I would say probably like crate and

895
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: barrel or like Williams Sonoma or something like that. Something

896
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: that's just like really classic good like Coquar or like

897
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: serving wear. That would be really fun. Yeah, I also

898
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: like want a brand of my own one day. Oh,

899
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of like maybe something that I'm working on

900
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps perhaps, oh really like in what way, like

901
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: food wise or cook wear? No, no, I don't. I'm

902
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: not interested in cook wear. Okay, I think there's enough

903
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: good cook cooker out there. I think there are some

904
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: things that could help people feel more comfortable in the

905
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: kitchen and cooking and make maybe make that process a

906
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: little bit easier. So that's something that I would like

907
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: to maybe delve into a little bit. Um And yeah,

908
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: it is interesting when like you were saying your passion

909
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: bat food. I've never been passionate about food, but ever

910
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: since I got Hashimotos, I've been so much more aware

911
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: of what I'm eating and what I'm like putting in

912
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: my body because of the things that I can't be

913
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: eating right now. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm also realizing that

914
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of holes in the market of things

915
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: that like there's only one gluten free pasta to me

916
00:44:55,360 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: that is edible, which one jovial jobial. Yeah, and there's

917
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 1: so many different if I'm just curious, Yeah, if you ever,

918
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm because I wanted to try some made recipes, but

919
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: I just like swap them out with my gluen free

920
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: posts and like gluten free all purpose flowers so great

921
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: too for like baking and stuff. Yeah, but I I

922
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: think I've realized now that there are so many holes

923
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: in the market that aren't like there for people who

924
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: do have food restrictions totally. So now I'm like getting

925
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: passionate about that stuff. Like I'm like, anytime I find

926
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: anything that's good that's gluten free, I'm like posting about that. Yeah, yeah,

927
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: come and get it here. Yeah. I think my first

928
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: attempt that I'm going to try of your recipes is

929
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: the whipped egg plant. How accurate is it the dip? Yeah,

930
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: it's very but it's like also, you know, the bread,

931
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: it's like, really to make that bread that they do,

932
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: I can't make that bread, Like, I just can't. That's

933
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: the thing. I know where to, like, I know what

934
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: I can and cannot do, and I cannot remake that bread. Yeah,

935
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: that bread is gorgeous. Away those are the days. Oh yeah,

936
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: that's a tough, real tough loss. I'm so sorry. I

937
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: want to try your the chicken soup with my gluten

938
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: free noodles. Yeah, soup intimidates me a little bit easy really.

939
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: To bring it full circle, what are three, um, or, like,

940
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, three of your recipes

941
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: that you think someone who's maybe like intimidated by the

942
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: kitchen could try. Yeah, to start with, Okay, I think

943
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: that my turkey sweet potato skillet. I've seen that. It's

944
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: so it's gluten free. It's really healthy. We sometimes make

945
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: it with rice if you want like a little bit more,

946
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: make it a little more hardy. Um. It's so easy.

947
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: It's like a one pan meal. You can't really mess

948
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: it up. Like it's great. Okay. Um, let's see, I'm

949
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: trying to think of like, there's just so many that

950
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: I could like list off right now. Um, I would say,

951
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean soup is also really easy. It's like one

952
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: of people like my soups recipes are really popular, so

953
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: maybe like the lemon chicken soup that I post is

954
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 1: really good. There's like an egg tempering thing in there.

955
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: That some people get intimidated by, I think tempering. Like

956
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: you put an egg egg yolk in it to make

957
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: it like creamy. And you can't just like put the

958
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: egg yolks in there because they'll scramble. And like the

959
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: hot soups, you have to like slowly add hot water

960
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: to like like get it. And so if they don't scramble,

961
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: they stay liquid. Wait, let's scratch that. Let's scratch that

962
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: in the other next soup. But no, you take the

963
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: egg yolk and you put it in You slowly add

964
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: hot water to the egg yolk and whisk it. Oh,

965
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: and then you put all that into the sight. Right,

966
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: But if you just were to put the egg yolk

967
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: directly in the soup, they would like scramble, you know,

968
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: they would get all like coagulated. Yeah, such a gross word. Okay,

969
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: Why can't I think of one of my recipes right now? Um?

970
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: I mean I make a really good Okay, if you

971
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: don't like cooking salmon, I would say, oh, I'm gonna

972
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: give you my chicken tips too. If you don't like

973
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: cooking salmon, I love the fact like cutting them into

974
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: little cubes like that makes it so much better. You

975
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: get more crispy surface area. They cook quicker and they're

976
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: just amazing. I do a really good like almost kind

977
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: of like a karaoke sauce salmon bite bowl, very delicious.

978
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: And then as far as chicken goes, okay, chicken really

979
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: grosses me out sometimes too so freaky, yeah, really freaky.

980
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: But I will say either cutting it up into like

981
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: small pieces and then cooking it that is something that's

982
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: like you can't you can cut all the tendons off right, Okay,

983
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: where are you buying your chicken? Just like at the store,

984
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: don't buy it. I love tair Joes. Don't buy your

985
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: chicken or tray jos. Okay, buy it like Whole Foods

986
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: and buy like good quality organic chicken. It really makes

987
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: a difference from the Delhi like uh like now it

988
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But like Whole Foods has like the Mary's

989
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: Chicken ganic one. That one's really good, okay, but Traders

990
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: Chicken will give you thick it's very spooky. I wouldn't

991
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: do that. So so cut your chicken and salt uses

992
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: and cook it. And then also if you want to

993
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: do like more chicken breast, never cook like a thick

994
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: chicken breast slice, cut it long ways, put some plastic

995
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: wrap down, take a cup of a bottle of wine whatever,

996
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: and flatten it so it's thin, and then cook it

997
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 1: and it's quicker. It tastes so much better. It doesn't

998
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: get like gross and like you know that weird milanaise. Yeah.

999
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: Make my crispee chicken cutlets. Okay, make my Crispye chicken
