Speaker 1: This is something that was huge in our family and
Speaker 1: it was a big shock, and it was a big
Speaker 1: shock for Jessica. Obviously you first handle like what it
Speaker 1: did to me, like the damage and the healing that
Speaker 1: I had to go through. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: people are also asking me if I knew about this
Speaker 1: whole thing, And I'll be honest with you, guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm want to be very transparent and yeah I did.
Speaker 1: I did know. I want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: your fitness journey. I still have my little moments. I'm
Speaker 1: just like trying to maintain my body and really just
Speaker 1: take care of myself and make sure that my money
Speaker 1: is a wasted Hello everyone, and welcome to Cheeks and Chill.
Speaker 1: If this is your first time tuning in, my name
Speaker 1: is Cheek Ease. I'm a singer, songwriter, author and entrepreneur.
Speaker 1: But on this podcast, I'm speaking to you as a woman.
Speaker 1: This is a space where I can be really honest
Speaker 1: and vulnerable with you about topics I've never really opened
Speaker 1: up about before and I'm really happy you're here, so
Speaker 1: thank you for joining me. On today's episode, We're going
Speaker 1: to be speaking with one of my favorite people in
Speaker 1: the entire world, my sister Jennica. So, without further ado,
Speaker 1: let's get into today's episode. This is Checks and Chill.
Speaker 1: So I have my sister JENNICKI here with me today
Speaker 1: and we're going to be talking about a few topics
Speaker 1: she's opened up about on her new podcast. It's called Overcomfort.
Speaker 1: Welcome Jenny, welcome back, Actually, thank you, thank you, loving here.
Speaker 1: I call her Jenny, I call her Penny, I call
Speaker 1: her so many different things. Um, but yes, you have
Speaker 1: been on here a few times. Are you really do
Speaker 1: you really like being on Chickens and Chill Jenna, be honest, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all It's nice. It's chill. It's chill. She said,
Speaker 1: that makes you happy. People love to hear from you,
Speaker 1: and now that you have a podcast, like I'm loving it, Jennica.
Speaker 1: You're getting a lot of love and support. I think
Speaker 1: it's freaking awesome. You told me when you started your
Speaker 1: podcast that you wanted to do it for like, to
Speaker 1: for self heal and to help other people. Is this
Speaker 1: this correct? Can we elaborate a little bit on this? Yes,
Speaker 1: I definitely want to just bring some type of like awareness,
Speaker 1: awareness to just topics that I guess can be taboo
Speaker 1: or that are really just not talked about, especially like
Speaker 1: my generation, people that like my age, that are struggling
Speaker 1: and just never really talked about or just have anyone
Speaker 1: to connect with. And I feel like that's why you know,
Speaker 1: we are We have the position that we are in
Speaker 1: like our family, and you know, we have the influence
Speaker 1: to be able to help people, and I just ultimately
Speaker 1: want to do that and guide people. I mean, my
Speaker 1: life is perfect, but I still want to be able
Speaker 1: to just give advice on how I've overcame certain things.
Speaker 1: And I think that's freaking amazing coming from a young
Speaker 1: lady that was so shy and wanted to hide from
Speaker 1: the cameras and stuff like that, and just to see
Speaker 1: you come into your own and really just own that
Speaker 1: and now doing this, and I think a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I get so many messages that they love your podcast,
Speaker 1: that you've really helped them, and that just makes me
Speaker 1: very proud as a sister slash mom, you know. And
Speaker 1: and your first episode, Jennica was was I mean a bombshell.
Speaker 1: It so for those of you that are listening and
Speaker 1: haven't heard Jennica's podcast, Overcomforts her first episode and in
Speaker 1: her first episode, she's telling everyone that when she was
Speaker 1: twenty three, she found out that the father that she
Speaker 1: thought was her father for all of her life wasn't.
Speaker 1: So there's a biological sperm donor that she has, and
Speaker 1: then she has the dad, Juan Lopez, who basically raised her,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what she considers her dad without
Speaker 1: any disrespect to her biological father. So, um, this is
Speaker 1: something that was huge in our family and it was
Speaker 1: a big shock, and it was a big shock for Jessica.
Speaker 1: Why did you feel that it was important for you
Speaker 1: to to start this journey with with that topic. Well,
Speaker 1: like I mentioned in the podcast, I felt like, you know,
Speaker 1: it gave me the space to be open. I want
Speaker 1: to be able to be as open and vulnerable with
Speaker 1: people as possible, like and for guests to come and
Speaker 1: feel welcome to feel the same way. Like obviously you
Speaker 1: first handle like what it did to me, like the
Speaker 1: damage and the healing that I had to go through
Speaker 1: when I had that experience. So I just felt like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna release it. And it
Speaker 1: was at the end of the year when I filmed that,
Speaker 1: when I recorded that episode, I was just like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna leave it in two, like it's
Speaker 1: just time to just let it go, like stop holding
Speaker 1: this secret or burden on me, and then I could
Speaker 1: just like start fresh, right, Yeah, because it was something
Speaker 1: I mean, this is something we talked about, like about
Speaker 1: on your podcast. I was a guest on your podcast,
Speaker 1: and you know, I almost lost my little sister, you guys,
Speaker 1: because of it wasn't just this situation that she had
Speaker 1: was keeping in for like a year and a half,
Speaker 1: but other things were happening, but I almost I almost
Speaker 1: lost her, and it was very scary for me. So
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for your podcast over Comfort, because this
Speaker 1: is a wave even holding yourself accountable, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, because now you're a voice for other people,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And this was a very
Speaker 1: heavy topic. And I saw, you know, we want I
Speaker 1: Want on a live the other day, you guys. Um
Speaker 1: I think I don't know, like a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I just went on there and I was just being,
Speaker 1: you know, act in the full because I had seen
Speaker 1: some stuff that really pissed me off. Someone that's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: and was commenting on Jennica's podcast and what she spoke
Speaker 1: about and thought that she shouldn't that she shouldn't talk
Speaker 1: about this because my mom is not here to defend herself. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I really just really really made me upset. You know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are also asking me if I
Speaker 1: you about this whole thing, and I'll be honest with you, guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm one to be very transparent, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. I did know for a long time. I
Speaker 1: had heard things here and there. I had had some
Speaker 1: conversations with my mom that I don't really want to
Speaker 1: get into right now or or get into detail, but
Speaker 1: my mom did kind of open it up to me.
Speaker 1: And I know my mother would have told Jennica when
Speaker 1: the time was right. But you guys have to remember
Speaker 1: that Jennica was fifteen when my mom passed, and she
Speaker 1: was too young. I think I think if my mom
Speaker 1: would have been here now, she would have been right
Speaker 1: there with Jennica on her podcast talking to everyone about it.
Speaker 1: Because my mom was went to face her. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say mistakes, because I don't feel that it
Speaker 1: was a mistake, but like she was, she the one
Speaker 1: to face what's the good word for it, true exactly
Speaker 1: the facts and anyways, I mean I It wasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: a secret. It wasn't like something I was planning on
Speaker 1: keeping from Jenica. But if she ever asked me, if
Speaker 1: it ever came up the way it did, then I
Speaker 1: said I was going to be honest. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: lie to her. And that's how it happened. I mean,
Speaker 1: what respond did you get? Like on the comments, Surprisingly,
Speaker 1: it's a lot normal than I thought it would be,
Speaker 1: and like people didn't feel alone, but like little do
Speaker 1: they know, Like I didn't feel alone anymore where. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know it's been happening. It's like, oh wow, like
Speaker 1: it's normal. Apparently happens a lot. It happens a lot.
Speaker 1: It happens a lot, and which is okay. People you know,
Speaker 1: have their moments and things happen, and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: really grateful I did get, you know, all the bad comments.
Speaker 1: But it's kind of like at the I knew it
Speaker 1: was coming. I knew at the end of day that
Speaker 1: it was coming and what they were going to say,
Speaker 1: and it's like already prepared myself. It wasn't like it
Speaker 1: hurt me this this and that. It's like it is
Speaker 1: what it is like and at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's my truth and and what I feel. And as
Speaker 1: long as I got your guys support and your support, like,
Speaker 1: it felt fine for me. Yeah, because your siblings, all
Speaker 1: of us definitely supported. Yeah for sure. What do you
Speaker 1: feel about your mother's extended family or the extended family,
Speaker 1: because I did see your mother's mother some things that
Speaker 1: she said, and I you know what, and I some
Speaker 1: people might talk shit and say, oh my gosh, like
Speaker 1: how disrespectful, but she really, like she calls us Jenny's kids,
Speaker 1: So why can't she be Jenny's mother, my mother's mother.
Speaker 1: So what do you feel about that? You know? Um,
Speaker 1: I think that's just been so disconnected from that side
Speaker 1: that it's just it really doesn't phaze me anymore. And like, respectfully,
Speaker 1: it's an older generation, and you know, they don't know
Speaker 1: a lot of things that mom did that we know
Speaker 1: or things that you know she went through, and it's
Speaker 1: for us, it's different and it's not gonna get to
Speaker 1: me because at the end of the day, like they
Speaker 1: didn't go through it, I did, exactly. I'm very proud
Speaker 1: of you for that, I mean, and for those of
Speaker 1: you that may not know, and I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: bring shut up. But it is something that to me
Speaker 1: a little bit, but she was just I guess they
Speaker 1: asked her my mother's mother. They asked her in an interview,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Jensica talking about it? And
Speaker 1: I guess she said, you know, there's something that I
Speaker 1: would have taken to my grave. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I this is why it's so important for me and
Speaker 1: I and I and I think that my mom would
Speaker 1: have expected me to have my sister's back. That's what
Speaker 1: she taught us is to have each other's back. And
Speaker 1: my mom is no longer here unfortunately physically, so my
Speaker 1: responsibility as an older sister is to be there for
Speaker 1: my sister who is here. And if this is going
Speaker 1: to help her heal, and through her healing, heal other
Speaker 1: people and help other people, then f what anyone else
Speaker 1: has to say, even if it's my mom's family. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't care what they have to say, because, like
Speaker 1: Jenica just said, she's the one that went through it.
Speaker 1: We went through it with her, and never did they
Speaker 1: come and ask, how are you do you need anything?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like it's just so it's
Speaker 1: like you have no room to say anything. So respectfully,
Speaker 1: anyone that has anything that I could say, suck it.
Speaker 1: Do you wish that you would have known sooner? Um? No,
Speaker 1: I think things happened at the time that I have,
Speaker 1: like for a reason, like maybe when that when I
Speaker 1: first found out. Yeah, but I think now that I've
Speaker 1: found out what I need to find out, Like, I
Speaker 1: think it happened at the perfect time when I knew too.
Speaker 1: How old were you? This is like a two years
Speaker 1: ago almost right, So you're at twenty three when you
Speaker 1: found out. So talking about that, we call Jennica Bodiqa.
Speaker 1: She's a vote because her biological father is Puerto Rican.
Speaker 1: So Jessica, how do you feel about that? Honestly? Like,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about being Puerto Rican? Like half
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican? It's cool, Yeah, it's just what it is.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel it. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: just there. But do you feel closer to like bad
Speaker 1: Bunny now because he's yeah, right, yeah, look at it.
Speaker 1: I wish you to see he's like a huge bad
Speaker 1: bunny fast I love him. No, but you know I
Speaker 1: would I would like to tap into that and see,
Speaker 1: you know, culture wise, like what there is and I
Speaker 1: don't know it's something I'm interested in, but I'm not like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna change who I am currently, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, but one thing I will like.
Speaker 1: Jennica has like a really like beautiful skin tone like
Speaker 1: all of us like. And I think that definitely comes
Speaker 1: from her Puerto Rican side, like she danns so nicely
Speaker 1: since she was little. So it's like, I feel like
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool, Like I want to like be Colombian,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Colombian or like I love
Speaker 1: you mean you look Columbia. You're like you have a
Speaker 1: toxic Oh my god, thank you, thank you so much, Shakida,
Speaker 1: Carol g. You know, maybe in my next life I'll
Speaker 1: we have Mexican, have Colombian because I love being Mexican,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: like God and you have the ask for it too.
Speaker 1: But I mean she does. Jennica since she was little
Speaker 1: has always or younger should I say, Because when she
Speaker 1: was little with her dad Juan, she would listen to
Speaker 1: like a bunch of like you know what I called
Speaker 1: by some music you know um what I sing? You
Speaker 1: know um. She would listen to a lot of banda
Speaker 1: and stuff, but now like you've always been into like
Speaker 1: Regaton and stuff, like for Christmas, she made coquito, you guys, right, cokito,
Speaker 1: which is a Puerto Rican alcoholic drink. Dude, she killed it.
Speaker 1: It was so barm So I don't know. I want
Speaker 1: to I want you to cook more Puerto Rican food
Speaker 1: for us. Okay, And we gotta go to Puerto Rico soon, Jenica,
Speaker 1: I think that was on my Christmas list. I'm like, you, guys,
Speaker 1: just give me money to go on a trip. I
Speaker 1: want to go travel. Okay, I'll take you to Puerto
Speaker 1: Rico this year towards the end of the year. No,
Speaker 1: for real, we gotta go. We gotta go to Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1: I loved it when I went for my honeymoon. Anyway, Okay, So, Jenny,
Speaker 1: I know you talked about this on your podcast, but
Speaker 1: do you have like advice for my listeners that are
Speaker 1: probably going through a similar situation. What's your advice to
Speaker 1: to the daughter and to the mother. I definitely think
Speaker 1: that overall, if any anybody could take anything from this,
Speaker 1: I think it's like for like the mothers, like you
Speaker 1: could you could wait, but don't wait too long because
Speaker 1: then comfort that comes anger and those mistakes and it's
Speaker 1: okay to make mistakes or to like have a history
Speaker 1: or have a past like that. That's totally fine. It's
Speaker 1: better to know now rather than later. And for the
Speaker 1: you know, the kids, the sons, the daughters, like, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, like as confusing as it is, like,
Speaker 1: don't let it change who you are as a person
Speaker 1: who raised you, and don't come in with expectations of
Speaker 1: like these people. It's kind of just you're surrounded with
Speaker 1: great people already, I know people that have been in
Speaker 1: the same situation, and you're surrounded with great people that
Speaker 1: love and care for you, and you're going to be
Speaker 1: just fine. Trying to you guys, I'm okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna get because she hates it when I get like
Speaker 1: so like, you know, but I'm proud of her. I'm
Speaker 1: so fucking proud of you. I think that you've come
Speaker 1: so so far and just to hear you speak and
Speaker 1: how much here you are. You've always been very mature.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this, I know is a very tough situation
Speaker 1: and I think that you came out on the other
Speaker 1: side of it like even better, like to the point
Speaker 1: where now you know you can. You have this space
Speaker 1: to share these thoughts and this advice with people. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get all mushy and stuff. But okay,
Speaker 1: So another thing you opened up about on your podcast
Speaker 1: is the fact that you attempted suicide, which is something
Speaker 1: you and I have both attempted. Actually, I attempted suicide
Speaker 1: once and I thought about it a lot of times.
Speaker 1: I've been through it a lot and which is really
Speaker 1: scary you guys, um And unfortunately it's more it's more
Speaker 1: common than you think. According to the c d C
Speaker 1: in there were one point two million people that attempted SUSI,
Speaker 1: So it happens a lot. And I think that God
Speaker 1: has given us this platform to talk to you guys,
Speaker 1: to help you guys, to tell you guys, hey, yes
Speaker 1: we come out on TV. Yes we're saying yes we
Speaker 1: do this yet, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we also are human and we go through these feelings
Speaker 1: and we know what you guys are going through. So
Speaker 1: I just wanna know how you're feeling now, Jessica, Like,
Speaker 1: how how are you doing now now that you've talked
Speaker 1: about it, and yeah, have you have you accepted it completely? Like,
Speaker 1: are you feeling better mentally? Are you still like struggling
Speaker 1: with the anxiety and like depression, how is that going? Um?
Speaker 1: I definitely struggle with anxiety. The oppression has definitely like
Speaker 1: slowly gone away, and it's it comes like in waves,
Speaker 1: and I've just learned to accept it and it be there,
Speaker 1: but not really fully let it overcome my life. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the mistake a lot of people do,
Speaker 1: is like when people are having these symptoms or feelings,
Speaker 1: like you get too much in your head about it,
Speaker 1: and that's when you start feeling like there's no other way.
Speaker 1: There's not like there's how is this ever going to
Speaker 1: get better? And I think, you know, thank God for
Speaker 1: therapy and honestly having open conversations with people, letting you,
Speaker 1: letting them know like, look, I'm going through this is
Speaker 1: what I'm feeling, Like I want you to know so
Speaker 1: that you're aware and um, that way you don't feel
Speaker 1: alone in it. And it doesn't mean that that person
Speaker 1: has to have like the best advice to tell you.
Speaker 1: They could just listen. And I think that's what people need,
Speaker 1: is that people need you to listen instead of talking
Speaker 1: back or giving advice. It's kind of like, I just
Speaker 1: need you to know that I'm going through this and
Speaker 1: it hasn't been easy, but I want to let you
Speaker 1: know and be accountable with you so that way you
Speaker 1: can see and maybe help me or just I just
Speaker 1: want to feel like I'm not alone. But ultimately, I
Speaker 1: like I think God, like I'm okay, Like I've I've understood,
Speaker 1: I've processed that, and you know, it's badly it is.
Speaker 1: It is becoming happens all the time, and social media
Speaker 1: is like a facade and people don't really understand it
Speaker 1: and like they don't understand people aside from behind the phone.
Speaker 1: So I think it's just having compassion and being kind
Speaker 1: to everybody and really just know that not everyone's healing
Speaker 1: is the same or people grow in different ways in
Speaker 1: different paths and slower than others, and and that's okay.
Speaker 1: It's just being compassionate with people and really just understanding
Speaker 1: that not everyone has the same path as you, and
Speaker 1: just being a listener. I think sometimes it just helps
Speaker 1: to like this, how got it there? And just talk
Speaker 1: to someone, you know what I mean, I mean talking
Speaker 1: about that. Are you still in therapy? Mm hmm, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. I think it's you know, I go on
Speaker 1: and off on it, Like there's months that I take
Speaker 1: a break and then I go back on, and I
Speaker 1: just think, you know, you guys know I always say this.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge advocate for you know, a therapy and
Speaker 1: and just speaking to someone like Jennica said, and just
Speaker 1: letting your feelings out and letting someone know. And I
Speaker 1: saw this quote the other day, and I don't remember
Speaker 1: it word for word, but it was something like, be compassionate,
Speaker 1: be gentle with other people because you never know what
Speaker 1: they're going through, you know what I mean. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like like you just gotta see it that way,
Speaker 1: Like if someone doesn't smile, someone's route, it's just instead
Speaker 1: of like cussing them out, it's kind of like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna bless them because I don't know
Speaker 1: what they're going through, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: it's just about being compassionate. And you know, if you
Speaker 1: guys need help, UM the suicide hotline, you guys, if
Speaker 1: anyone has those thoughts, if anyone has if you're thinking,
Speaker 1: like I'm telling you I've thought about it, The hotline
Speaker 1: number you guys is eight. You can call or text
Speaker 1: that number. Just putting that out there, you know, because
Speaker 1: I know, um, you know, life isn't oh, it's it's
Speaker 1: not easy, you know what I mean. So you're not alone,
Speaker 1: Like Jennica said, You're definitely not alone. Let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and shift gear a little bit. I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about your fitness journey. I saw Jessica. You
Speaker 1: guys in the gym this morning. You're on it. You've
Speaker 1: been waking up at five in the morning. Try. Yeah,
Speaker 1: today I woke up at six, but it's still early.
Speaker 1: Have to give myself the time to like meditate and
Speaker 1: pray before and then okay, because your body is definitely
Speaker 1: you look great like I saw her today, you guys,
Speaker 1: I was there. I woke up really early. I woke
Speaker 1: up at five and then I was at the gym
Speaker 1: by like six thirty, a little late because of the rain.
Speaker 1: But that's that's something that my mom really like instilled
Speaker 1: in us in a good and bad way, like taking
Speaker 1: care of us or taking care of our bodies and
Speaker 1: like our nutrition and everything. And I think my mom
Speaker 1: for that. Sometimes it affected me in a more negative way,
Speaker 1: and I think we talked about it a little bit
Speaker 1: on one of the other partcasts we were on. But anyways,
Speaker 1: um so tell me, how is that going. You got
Speaker 1: your tummy tuck last year, right, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: year in April. Yeah, I'm very happy. I'm very happy.
Speaker 1: I feel lighter. I feel like there was like an
Speaker 1: energy that I need to just let go of because
Speaker 1: I work so hard to like to get it off.
Speaker 1: I'm just like I could breathe and I feel I
Speaker 1: feel better and even then, like I still have my
Speaker 1: little moments. I'm just like trying to maintain my body
Speaker 1: and really just take care of myself and make sure
Speaker 1: that um my money isn't wasted. Yeah, I know, I
Speaker 1: know what you mean, because I'm not gonna lie like
Speaker 1: I've gotten light bulb like in my life, you know,
Speaker 1: like a couple of times and anyways, and then you
Speaker 1: don't take care of yourself. And that's what I love
Speaker 1: that you're doing. Like you're still on it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I think that's important because people think, oh,
Speaker 1: it's just an easy fix, and I could just go
Speaker 1: and start eating shit again or like eating like ship.
Speaker 1: But no, like you have to even sometimes work out
Speaker 1: harder and take care of yourself more after getting plastic surgery.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge I love surgery. I I think plastic
Speaker 1: surgery whatever, like, do your thing. I'm not one that's
Speaker 1: going to judge you. So if you ask me, should
Speaker 1: I get a tell me to Should I get my mamma?
Speaker 1: Tell you yes. But I'm also going to tell you
Speaker 1: you gotta work out, you gotta eat right because that
Speaker 1: ship ain't a forever magical fix. Okay. So but right now, okay,
Speaker 1: so what are you doing? Tell me a little tell
Speaker 1: us a little bit about like what you're doing right now, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're doing this thing that I think it's
Speaker 1: kind of cool and I think you should share it
Speaker 1: a little bit. What the thing the seventy day thing? Oh,
Speaker 1: the seventy five days soft? Oh? Yeah, Like what thing
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Um? Okay, So normally at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, I always like to fast twenty
Speaker 1: one days. So like I'm incorporating that with just uh.
Speaker 1: It's a mental and physical challenge. It targets you mental
Speaker 1: and physical physically. And what it does is it has
Speaker 1: these rules. There's seventy five days soft and seventy five
Speaker 1: day hart. So soft is you work out every day
Speaker 1: for forty five minutes with one active rest dam which
Speaker 1: is like cardio or going for a walk or a hype. Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: Then it's drinking one gallon of water and maintaining a diet,
Speaker 1: and soft is drinking on social occasions, but I'm choosing
Speaker 1: not to. I don't really have like that. Yeah you're
Speaker 1: not a big drinker. Yeah, I'm not a big drinker.
Speaker 1: So I'm choosing like, I'm just not gonna drink. And
Speaker 1: if I if the situation comes up, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll have a drink, but I usually don't. And then
Speaker 1: it's reading ten pages of a book, so it's also
Speaker 1: feeding you mentally, like it could be any book that
Speaker 1: you want. So right now I'm doing a devotional with
Speaker 1: a church, so I'm spiritually feeding myself. And then after
Speaker 1: that twenty one days is over, then I go ahead
Speaker 1: and start like whatever book I want to Jen Nica,
Speaker 1: this is me freaking snapping my fingers. That's tight, and
Speaker 1: she's doing it. You guys. I'm like, damn, look at her. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, are you gonna get your books under what?
Speaker 1: Because you said you want to? I do want to? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you should. I think it would be it
Speaker 1: would be because like I think about him, like do
Speaker 1: I really want to, Like I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want kids, Like i'd rather not. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe later, that's something I have to talk with my
Speaker 1: husband or whatever at that time. But it's like I'd
Speaker 1: rather adopt first, Like that's me. So it's like I
Speaker 1: want to get my body done, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it's like I don't know I would want to.
Speaker 1: I would I really want to like get my boobs done. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you want to go you want to be a thought?
Speaker 1: How what do you say a thought in bob or
Speaker 1: what do you call it? What do you say? I
Speaker 1: thought and embop it? Yeah, she wanted a thought and
Speaker 1: embop it. So yeah, I think you should just get
Speaker 1: your tinsted. Is there anything that you wish you would
Speaker 1: have known before getting like plastic surgery? No, I feel
Speaker 1: like I did enough research. I didn't I knew what
Speaker 1: I need to know. My sister is a pro, so sure,
Speaker 1: I am love it. My mom too. It's like it's
Speaker 1: not it's not something that's like for us, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah? And I dude, I babysat her.
Speaker 1: I took care of her, and I think I was
Speaker 1: a very good nurse and she did honestly, though, Jennico,
Speaker 1: you're very strong. Though you're a very strong young lady.
Speaker 1: I was like she wanted to do everything herself. Was like,
Speaker 1: sit your use down. But yeah, I think that if
Speaker 1: you want to get bobs, and I think you should,
Speaker 1: I definitely think you should. Okay so quickly because you know,
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people like want to know, um,
Speaker 1: what was the healing process like for you? I mean
Speaker 1: I saw, like I'm telling you were very strong, but
Speaker 1: like anyone that's maybe thinking about getting a tummy tuck, like,
Speaker 1: what was the healing process? Um? Pain wise, I didn't
Speaker 1: feel any pain. It was just more soreness, like I
Speaker 1: had worked out super harder, like I got hit by
Speaker 1: a truck and I was just sore, like super sore.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't painful, and like it sounds weird, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't painful. And I think it's just being patient
Speaker 1: with yourself, with your body and understanding that things take
Speaker 1: a lot of time. Like I was already anxious to
Speaker 1: get back into the gym, and I had to wait
Speaker 1: to get approved and cleared by the doctor and it's
Speaker 1: just being really patient with yourself and kind of just
Speaker 1: getting used to like your whole new body. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I think, just to piggyback on that, I think it's
Speaker 1: also important that, like Jennico just said, she did her
Speaker 1: research and she made sure she found the right doctor
Speaker 1: and her doctor's freaking amazing. So I think it's knowing
Speaker 1: and that you have a good doctor and he took
Speaker 1: her his time with her, so I think that also
Speaker 1: helped with the healing process. I personally feel you had
Speaker 1: an amazing doctor. Um, how many consultations did you go
Speaker 1: to before you had the surgery? I only did one
Speaker 1: and it was virtually because he was in Arizona, saw
Speaker 1: how to do with sending pictures. Then he called me
Speaker 1: He's like, look this is what we could do. This
Speaker 1: is how much and that was it. And then I
Speaker 1: didn't see him until like week before. It was like
Speaker 1: your prep and that was it. Yeah. I know he
Speaker 1: was good. But I think this guy works like on
Speaker 1: on curvy women and does like specializes on yeah, on
Speaker 1: plus size. So if you ask me, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: that person that's going to tell you go for it.
Speaker 1: It is your life, it is your body and you
Speaker 1: have all the right to rocket. This is however you want,
Speaker 1: you know, So anyway, you guys listened to her podcast.
