I mean, my 50 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: life is perfect, but I still want to be able 51 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: to just give advice on how I've overcame certain things. 52 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: And I think that's freaking amazing coming from a young 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: lady that was so shy and wanted to hide from 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: the cameras and stuff like that, and just to see 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: you come into your own and really just own that 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: and now doing this, and I think a lot of people. 57 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: I get so many messages that they love your podcast, 58 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: that you've really helped them, and that just makes me 59 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: very proud as a sister slash mom, you know. And 60 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: and your first episode, Jennica was was I mean a bombshell. 61 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: It so for those of you that are listening and 62 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: haven't heard Jennica's podcast, Overcomforts her first episode and in 63 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: her first episode, she's telling everyone that when she was 64 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: twenty three, she found out that the father that she 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: thought was her father for all of her life wasn't. 66 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: So there's a biological sperm donor that she has, and 67 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: then she has the dad, Juan Lopez, who basically raised her, 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: and I think that's what she considers her dad without 69 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: any disrespect to her biological father. So, um, this is 70 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: something that was huge in our family and it was 71 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: a big shock, and it was a big shock for Jessica. 72 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: Why did you feel that it was important for you 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: to to start this journey with with that topic.

And it 83 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: was at the end of the year when I filmed that, 84 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: when I recorded that episode, I was just like, you 85 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna leave it in two, like it's 86 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: just time to just let it go, like stop holding 87 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: this secret or burden on me, and then I could 88 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: just like start fresh, right, Yeah, because it was something 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something we talked about, like about 90 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: on your podcast.

Um 102 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I think I don't know, like a couple of weeks ago, 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: and I just went on there and I was just being, 104 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, act in the full because I had seen 105 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: some stuff that really pissed me off. Someone that's ridiculous, 106 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: and was commenting on Jennica's podcast and what she spoke 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: about and thought that she shouldn't that she shouldn't talk 108 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: about this because my mom is not here to defend herself. Anyways, 109 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: I really just really really made me upset. You know 110 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people are also asking me if I 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: you about this whole thing, and I'll be honest with you, guys. 112 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm one to be very transparent, and yeah, 113 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: I did. I did know for a long time. I 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: had heard things here and there. I had had some 115 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: conversations with my mom that I don't really want to 116 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: get into right now or or get into detail, but 117 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: my mom did kind of open it up to me. 118 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: And I know my mother would have told Jennica when 119 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: the time was right. But you guys have to remember 120 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: that Jennica was fifteen when my mom passed, and she 121 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: was too young. I think I think if my mom 122 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: would have been here now, she would have been right 123 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: there with Jennica on her podcast talking to everyone about it. 124 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: Because my mom was went to face her. I don't 125 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: want to say mistakes, because I don't feel that it 126 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: was a mistake, but like she was, she the one 127 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: to face what's the good word for it, true exactly 128 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the facts and anyways, I mean I It wasn't necessarily 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: a secret. It wasn't like something I was planning on 130 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: keeping from Jenica. But if she ever asked me, if 131 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: it ever came up the way it did, then I 132 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: said I was going to be honest. I'm not gonna 133 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: lie to her. And that's how it happened. I mean, 134 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: what respond did you get? Like on the comments, Surprisingly, 135 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: it's a lot normal than I thought it would be, 136 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: and like people didn't feel alone, but like little do 137 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: they know, Like I didn't feel alone anymore where.

But it is something that to me 171 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: a little bit, but she was just I guess they 172 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: asked her my mother's mother. They asked her in an interview, 173 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: what do you think about Jensica talking about it? And 174 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: I guess she said, you know, there's something that I 175 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: would have taken to my grave. But you know what, 176 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: I this is why it's so important for me and 177 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: I and I and I think that my mom would 178 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: have expected me to have my sister's back. That's what 179 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: she taught us is to have each other's back. And 180 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: my mom is no longer here unfortunately physically, so my 181 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: responsibility as an older sister is to be there for 182 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: my sister who is here. And if this is going 183 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: to help her heal, and through her healing, heal other 184 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: people and help other people, then f what anyone else 185 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: has to say, even if it's my mom's family. Like, 186 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: I don't care what they have to say, because, like 187 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: Jenica just said, she's the one that went through it. 188 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: We went through it with her, and never did they 189 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: come and ask, how are you do you need anything? 190 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like it's just so it's 191 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: like you have no room to say anything. So respectfully, 192 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: anyone that has anything that I could say, suck it. 193 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: Do you wish that you would have known sooner? Um? No, 194 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: I think things happened at the time that I have, 195 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: like for a reason, like maybe when that when I 196 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: first found out. Yeah, but I think now that I've 197 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: found out what I need to find out, Like, I 198 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: think it happened at the perfect time when I knew too. 199 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: How old were you? This is like a two years 200 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: ago almost right, So you're at twenty three when you 201 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: found out. So talking about that, we call Jennica Bodiqa. 202 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: She's a vote because her biological father is Puerto Rican. 203 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: So Jessica, how do you feel about that? Honestly? Like, 204 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: how do you feel about being Puerto Rican? Like half 205 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: Puerto Rican? It's cool, Yeah, it's just what it is. 206 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel it. So it's kind of 207 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: just there.

What's your advice to 249 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: to the daughter and to the mother. I definitely think 250 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: that overall, if any anybody could take anything from this, 251 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: I think it's like for like the mothers, like you 252 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: could you could wait, but don't wait too long because 253 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: then comfort that comes anger and those mistakes and it's 254 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: okay to make mistakes or to like have a history 255 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: or have a past like that. That's totally fine. It's 256 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: better to know now rather than later. And for the 257 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, the kids, the sons, the daughters, like, it's 258 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: gonna be okay, like as confusing as it is, like, 259 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: don't let it change who you are as a person 260 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: who raised you, and don't come in with expectations of 261 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: like these people. It's kind of just you're surrounded with 262 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: great people already, I know people that have been in 263 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: the same situation, and you're surrounded with great people that 264 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: love and care for you, and you're going to be 265 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: just fine. Trying to you guys, I'm okay, I'm not 266 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: gonna get because she hates it when I get like 267 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: so like, you know, but I'm proud of her. I'm 268 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: so fucking proud of you. I think that you've come 269 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: so so far and just to hear you speak and 270 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: how much here you are. You've always been very mature. 271 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, this, I know is a very tough situation 272 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: and I think that you came out on the other 273 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: side of it like even better, like to the point 274 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: where now you know you can. You have this space 275 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: to share these thoughts and this advice with people. So anyways, 276 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get all mushy and stuff. But okay, 277 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: So another thing you opened up about on your podcast 278 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: is the fact that you attempted suicide, which is something 279 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: you and I have both attempted. Actually, I attempted suicide 280 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: once and I thought about it a lot of times. 281 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: I've been through it a lot and which is really 282 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: scary you guys, um And unfortunately it's more it's more 283 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: common than you think. According to the c d C 284 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: in there were one point two million people that attempted SUSI, 285 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: So it happens a lot. And I think that God 286 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: has given us this platform to talk to you guys, 287 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: to help you guys, to tell you guys, hey, yes 288 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: we come out on TV. Yes we're saying yes we 289 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: do this yet, but at the end of the day, 290 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: we also are human and we go through these feelings 291 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: and we know what you guys are going through. So 292 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: I just wanna know how you're feeling now, Jessica, Like, 293 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: how how are you doing now now that you've talked 294 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: about it, and yeah, have you have you accepted it completely? Like, 295 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: are you feeling better mentally? Are you still like struggling 296 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: with the anxiety and like depression, how is that going? Um? 297 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: I definitely struggle with anxiety. The oppression has definitely like 298 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: slowly gone away, and it's it comes like in waves, 299 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: and I've just learned to accept it and it be there, 300 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: but not really fully let it overcome my life. And 301 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: I think that's the mistake a lot of people do, 302 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: is like when people are having these symptoms or feelings, 303 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: like you get too much in your head about it, 304 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: and that's when you start feeling like there's no other way. 305 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: There's not like there's how is this ever going to 306 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: get better? And I think, you know, thank God for 307 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: therapy and honestly having open conversations with people, letting you, 308 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: letting them know like, look, I'm going through this is 309 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: what I'm feeling, Like I want you to know so 310 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: that you're aware and um, that way you don't feel 311 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: alone in it. And it doesn't mean that that person 312 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: has to have like the best advice to tell you. 313 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: They could just listen. And I think that's what people need, 314 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: is that people need you to listen instead of talking 315 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: back or giving advice. It's kind of like, I just 316 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: need you to know that I'm going through this and 317 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: it hasn't been easy, but I want to let you 318 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: know and be accountable with you so that way you 319 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: can see and maybe help me or just I just 320 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: want to feel like I'm not alone. But ultimately, I 321 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: like I think God, like I'm okay, Like I've I've understood, 322 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: I've processed that, and you know, it's badly it is. 323 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: It is becoming happens all the time, and social media 324 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: is like a facade and people don't really understand it 325 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: and like they don't understand people aside from behind the phone. 326 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: So I think it's just having compassion and being kind 327 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: to everybody and really just know that not everyone's healing 328 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: is the same or people grow in different ways in 329 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: different paths and slower than others, and and that's okay. 330 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: It's just being compassionate with people and really just understanding 331 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: that not everyone has the same path as you, and 332 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: just being a listener. I think sometimes it just helps 333 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: to like this, how got it there? And just talk 334 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: to someone, you know what I mean, I mean talking 335 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: about that. Are you still in therapy? Mm hmm, yeah, 336 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: that's good. I think it's you know, I go on 337 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: and off on it, Like there's months that I take 338 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: a break and then I go back on, and I 339 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: just think, you know, you guys know I always say this. 340 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm a huge advocate for you know, a therapy and 341 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: and just speaking to someone like Jennica said, and just 342 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: letting your feelings out and letting someone know. And I 343 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: saw this quote the other day, and I don't remember 344 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: it word for word, but it was something like, be compassionate, 345 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: be gentle with other people because you never know what 346 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: they're going through, you know what I mean. It's kind 347 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: of like like you just gotta see it that way, 348 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: Like if someone doesn't smile, someone's route, it's just instead 349 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: of like cussing them out, it's kind of like, you 350 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna bless them because I don't know 351 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: what they're going through, you know what I mean.

And I think my mom 376 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: for that. Sometimes it affected me in a more negative way, 377 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: and I think we talked about it a little bit 378 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: on one of the other partcasts we were on. But anyways, 379 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: um so tell me, how is that going. You got 380 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: your tummy tuck last year, right, it's gonna be a 381 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: year in April. Yeah, I'm very happy.

I feel like there was like an 383 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: energy that I need to just let go of because 384 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: I work so hard to like to get it off. 385 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: I'm just like I could breathe and I feel I 386 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: feel better and even then, like I still have my 387 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: little moments. I'm just like trying to maintain my body 388 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: and really just take care of myself and make sure 389 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: that um my money isn't wasted. Yeah, I know, I 390 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: know what you mean, because I'm not gonna lie like 391 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: I've gotten light bulb like in my life, you know, 392 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 1: like a couple of times and anyways, and then you 393 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: don't take care of yourself. And that's what I love 394 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: that you're doing. Like you're still on it, you know 395 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: what I mean. I think that's important because people think, oh, 396 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: it's just an easy fix, and I could just go 397 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: and start eating shit again or like eating like ship. 398 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: But no, like you have to even sometimes work out 399 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: harder and take care of yourself more after getting plastic surgery. 400 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm a huge I love surgery. I I think plastic 401 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: surgery whatever, like, do your thing. I'm not one that's 402 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: going to judge you. So if you ask me, should 403 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: I get a tell me to Should I get my mamma? 404 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: Tell you yes. But I'm also going to tell you 405 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: you gotta work out, you gotta eat right because that 406 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: ship ain't a forever magical fix. Okay. So but right now, okay, 407 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: so what are you doing? Tell me a little tell 408 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: us a little bit about like what you're doing right now, Like, 409 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, you're doing this thing that I think it's 410 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: kind of cool and I think you should share it 411 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. What the thing the seventy day thing? Oh, 412 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: the seventy five days soft? Oh? Yeah, Like what thing 413 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: are you talking about? Um? Okay, So normally at the 414 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, I always like to fast twenty 415 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: one days. So like I'm incorporating that with just uh. 416 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: It's a mental and physical challenge. It targets you mental 417 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: and physical physically. And what it does is it has 418 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: these rules. There's seventy five days soft and seventy five 419 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: day hart. So soft is you work out every day 420 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: for forty five minutes with one active rest dam which 421 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: is like cardio or going for a walk or a hype. Right, Okay, 422 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: Then it's drinking one gallon of water and maintaining a diet, 423 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: and soft is drinking on social occasions, but I'm choosing 424 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 1: not to. I don't really have like that. Yeah you're 425 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: not a big drinker. Yeah, I'm not a big drinker. 426 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: So I'm choosing like, I'm just not gonna drink. And 427 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: if I if the situation comes up, I'm like, okay, 428 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: I'll have a drink, but I usually don't. And then 429 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: it's reading ten pages of a book, so it's also 430 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: feeding you mentally, like it could be any book that 431 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: you want. So right now I'm doing a devotional with 432 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: a church, so I'm spiritually feeding myself. And then after 433 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: that twenty one days is over, then I go ahead 434 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: and start like whatever book I want to Jen Nica, 435 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: this is me freaking snapping my fingers. That's tight, and 436 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: she's doing it. You guys. I'm like, damn, look at her. Okay, 437 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: all right, are you gonna get your books under what? 438 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: Because you said you want to? I do want to? Yeah, 439 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: I think you should. I think it would be it 440 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: would be because like I think about him, like do 441 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: I really want to, Like I don't know, I don't 442 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: know if I want kids, Like i'd rather not. Okay, 443 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: maybe later, that's something I have to talk with my 444 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: husband or whatever at that time. But it's like I'd 445 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: rather adopt first, Like that's me. So it's like I 446 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: want to get my body done, you know what I mean. 447 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: So it's like I don't know I would want to. 448 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: I would I really want to like get my boobs done. Yeah, 449 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: because you want to go you want to be a thought? 450 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: How what do you say a thought in bob or 451 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: what do you call it?

So yeah, I think you should just get 454 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: your tinsted. Is there anything that you wish you would 455 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: have known before getting like plastic surgery? No, I feel 456 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: like I did enough research. I didn't I knew what 457 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: I need to know. My sister is a pro, so sure, 458 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: I am love it. My mom too. It's like it's 459 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: not it's not something that's like for us, you know 460 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah? And I dude, I babysat her. 461 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: I took care of her, and I think I was 462 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: a very good nurse and she did honestly, though, Jennico, 463 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: you're very strong. Though you're a very strong young lady. 464 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: I was like she wanted to do everything herself. Was like, 465 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: sit your use down. But yeah, I think that if 466 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: you want to get bobs, and I think you should, 467 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: I definitely think you should. Okay so quickly because you know, 468 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like want to know, um, 469 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: what was the healing process like for you? I mean 470 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: I saw, like I'm telling you were very strong, but 471 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: like anyone that's maybe thinking about getting a tummy tuck, like, 472 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: what was the healing process? Um? Pain wise, I didn't 473 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: feel any pain. It was just more soreness, like I 474 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: had worked out super harder, like I got hit by 475 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: a truck and I was just sore, like super sore. 476 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: But it wasn't painful, and like it sounds weird, but 477 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't painful. And I think it's just being patient 478 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: with yourself, with your body and understanding that things take 479 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: a lot of time. Like I was already anxious to 480 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: get back into the gym, and I had to wait 481 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: to get approved and cleared by the doctor and it's 482 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: just being really patient with yourself and kind of just 483 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: getting used to like your whole new body. Yeah, And 484 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: I think, just to piggyback on that, I think it's 485 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: also important that, like Jennico just said, she did her 486 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: research and she made sure she found the right doctor 487 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: and her doctor's freaking amazing. So I think it's knowing 488 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: and that you have a good doctor and he took 489 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: her his time with her, so I think that also 490 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,479 Speaker 1: helped with the healing process. I personally feel you had 491 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: an amazing doctor. Um, how many consultations did you go 492 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: to before you had the surgery? I only did one 493 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: and it was virtually because he was in Arizona, saw 494 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: how to do with sending pictures. Then he called me 495 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: He's like, look this is what we could do. This 496 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: is how much and that was it. And then I 497 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: didn't see him until like week before. It was like 498 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: your prep and that was it. Yeah. I know he 499 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: was good. But I think this guy works like on 500 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: on curvy women and does like specializes on yeah, on 501 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: plus size.
