You know, and 66 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: your first episode, Jenica, was I mean a bombshell. It 67 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: was so for those of you that are listening and 68 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: haven't heard Jenica's podcast, over Comforts her first episode, and 69 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: in her first episode, she's telling everyone that when she 70 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: was twenty three, she found out that the father that 71 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: she thought was her father for all of her life wasn't. 72 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: So there's a biological sperm donor that she has, and 73 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: then she has the dad, Juan Lopez, who basically raised her, 74 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: and I think that's what she considers her dad, without 75 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: any disrespect to her biological father. So this is something 76 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: that was huge in our family and it was a 77 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: big shock, and it was a big shock for Jenica. 78 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: Why did you feel that it was important for you 79 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: to start this journey with that topic. 80 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 4: Well, like I. 81 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: Mentioned in the podcast, I felt like, you know, it 82 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: gave me the space to be open.

And this was a very heavy topic 108 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: and I saw, you know, I went on a live 109 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: the other day, you guys. I think I don't know, 110 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks ago, and I just went 111 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: on there and I was just being, you know, acting 112 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: the full because I had seen some stuff that really 113 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: pissed me off, someone that's ridiculous, and was commenting on 114 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: Jenica's podcast and what she spoke about and thought that 115 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: she shouldn't that she shouldn't talk about this because my 116 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: mom is not here to defend herself. Anyways, I really 117 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: just really really made me upset. You know a lot 118 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: of people are also asking me if I know about 119 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: this whole thing, and I'll be honest with you guys. 120 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm one to be very transparent, and yeah, 121 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: I did. I did know for a long time. I 122 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: had heard things here and there. I had had some 123 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: conversations with my mom that I don't really want to 124 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: get into right now or get into detail, but my 125 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: mom did kind of open it up to me. And 126 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: I know my mother would have told Jenica when the 127 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: time was right. But you guys have to remember that 128 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: Jenica was fifteen when my mom passed, and she was 129 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: too young. I think I think if my mom would 130 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: have been here now, she would have been right there 131 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: with Jenica on her podcast talking to everyone about it. 132 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: Because my mom was one to face her. I don't 133 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: want to say mistakes because I don't feel that it 134 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: was a mistake, but like she was, she's one to 135 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: face what's the good word for. 136 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: It, her truth? 137 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, her truth, exactly the facts. And anyways, I mean, 138 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: I it wasn't necessarily a secret. It wasn't like something 139 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: I was planning on keeping from Jenica. But if she 140 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: ever asked me, if it ever came up the way 141 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: it did, then I said I was going to be honest. 142 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to her. And that's how 143 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: it happened.

And I think 325 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: that's the mistake a lot of people do, is like 326 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: when people are having these symptoms or feelings, like you 327 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: get too much in your head about it and that's 328 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: when you start feeling like there's. 329 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: No other way. 330 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 2: There's like there's how is this ever going to get better? 331 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: And I think, you know, thank God for therapy and 332 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: honestly having open conversations with people, letting letting them know like, look, 333 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: I'm going through, this is what I'm feeling. Like I 334 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: want you to know so that you're aware and that 335 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: way you don't feel alone in it. And it doesn't 336 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: mean that that person has to have like the best 337 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: advice or tell you. They could just listen. And I 338 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: think that's what people need, is that people need you 339 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: to listen instead of talking back or giving advice. It's 340 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: kind of like, I just need you to know that 341 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: I'm going through this and it hasn't been easy, but 342 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: I want to let you know and be accountable with 343 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: you so that way you can see and maybe help 344 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: me or just. 345 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 3: I just want to feel like I'm not alone. But ultimately, 346 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: I like. 347 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: I think God, like I'm okay, Like I've I've understood, 348 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: I've processed that, and you know, it is becoming happens 349 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: all the time, and social media is like a facade 350 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 2: and people don't really understand it, and like they don't 351 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 2: understand people aside from behind the phone. So I think 352 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: it's just having compassion and being kind to everybody and 353 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: really just know that not everyone's healing is the same 354 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: or people grow in different ways in different paths and 355 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: slower than others, and that's okay. It's just being compassionate 356 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: with people and really just understanding that not everyone has 357 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: the same path as you, and just being a listener. 358 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: I think sometimes it just helps to like this out, 359 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: got it there, and just talk to someone, you know 360 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: what I mean, I mean talking about that. Are you 361 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: still in therapy? Yeah, that's good. I think it's you know, 362 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: I go on and off on it. Like there's months 363 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: that I take a break and then I go back 364 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: on and I just think, you know, you guys know 365 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: I always say this. I'm a huge advocate for, you know, 366 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: a therapy and just speaking to someone like Jennica said, 367 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: and just letting your feelings out and letting someone know. 368 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: And I saw this quote the other day, and I 369 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: don't remember it word for word, but it was something like, 370 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: be compassionate, be gentle with other people because you never 371 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: know what they're going through, you know what I mean. 372 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: It's kind of like like you just got to see 373 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: it that way, Like if someone doesn't smile, someone's rude, 374 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: it's just instead of like cussing them out, it's kind 375 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: of like, you know what, I'm gonna bless them because 376 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're going through, you know what 377 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean. So it's just how about being compassionate and 378 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, if you guys need help, the suicide hotline, 379 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: you guys, if anyone has those thoughts, if anyone has 380 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: if you're thinking, like I'm telling you I've thought about it, 381 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: the hotline number you guys is nine to eight eight. 382 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: You can call or text that number.

And I think my mom for that. Sometimes 403 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: it affected me in a more negative way, and I 404 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: think we talked about it a little bit on one 405 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: of the other podcasts.

I didn't 493 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 3: I knew what I need to know. My sister's a 494 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: pro audience. 495 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: Sure, I am love it. 496 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom too. It's like it's not it's not something. 497 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: That's exporing for us, you know what I mean? Yeah, 498 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: And I dude, I babysat her. I took care of her, 499 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: and I think I was a very good nurse and 500 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: she did Honestly, though, Jenica, you're very strong. Though you're 501 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: a very strong young lady. I was like she wanted 502 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: to do everything herself. Was like, huh, sit your ass down. 503 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that if you want to gets on, 504 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: I think you should. I definitely think you should, okay 505 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: so quickly because you know, I know a lot of 506 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: people like want to know what was the healing process 507 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: like for you? I mean I saw, like I'm telling 508 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: you were very strong, but like anyone that's maybe thinking 509 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: about getting a tummy tuck, like, what was a healing process? 510 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 3: Pain wise? I didn't feel any pain. 511 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 2: It was just more soreness like I had worked out 512 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: super hard, or like I got hit by a truck 513 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: and I was just sore, like super sore. But it 514 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 2: wasn't painful, and like it sounds weird, but it wasn't painful. 515 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 2: And I think it's just being patient with yourself and 516 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: with your body and understanding that things take a lot 517 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: of time. Like I was already anxious to get back 518 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 2: into the gym, and I had to wait to get 519 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: approved and cleared by the doctor, and it's just being 520 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: really patient with yourself and kind of just getting used 521 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: to like your whole new body. 522 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think, just to piggyback on that, I 523 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: think it's also important that, like Jenica just said, she 524 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: did her research and she made sure she found the 525 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: right doctor, and her doctor's freaking amazing. So I think 526 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: it's knowing and that you have a good doctor and 527 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: he took her his time with her, so I think 528 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: that also helped the healing process. I personally feel you 529 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: had an amazing doctor. How many consultations did you go 530 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: to before you had the surgery? 531 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: I only did one and it was virtually because he 532 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: was in Arizona, saw I how to do, was sending pictures. 533 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: Then he called me, He's like, look this is what 534 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: we could do. This is how much and that was it. 535 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: And then I didn't see him until like a week. 536 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: Before I was like, your pre op. 537 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: Uh huh, my prep and that was it. 538 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I know he was good.
