Speaker 1: Hold on, look at then. Welcome to cheek Ease and Chill.
Speaker 1: I'm your host cheek Ease, and I hope you all
Speaker 1: are having a happy Monday. It's been a crazy month
Speaker 1: for me already. My new book, Unstoppable was released a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and I've been on the road
Speaker 1: on a book tour. It's been so beautiful seeing all
Speaker 1: of you guys, seeing your faces, and today I will
Speaker 1: be answering some of your questions. This episode is gonna
Speaker 1: be so much fun, you guys. So let's get into it.
Speaker 1: This is chick eas and Chill. I'm really looking forward
Speaker 1: to today's episode because it's a chance for me to
Speaker 1: interact with you guys. A while back on Instagram, I
Speaker 1: asked you guys to send your questions. Since there are
Speaker 1: so many questions, we're going to split this in two episodes.
Speaker 1: This will be part one, so let's do it. Let's
Speaker 1: get into it. So let's start with question number one.
Speaker 1: This comes from Karina. She says, I would like to
Speaker 1: know how you got over the trauma in your life.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, I have been through quite some bit
Speaker 1: of trauma, you guys. But that's the thing I don't
Speaker 1: see it as trauma. I see it as a way
Speaker 1: to grow. I always thank God for every experience, for
Speaker 1: every tear, for every smile, every morning, Oh my God,
Speaker 1: thank you for everything that I've had to go through.
Speaker 1: Even if it's hurt and it's been painful, it has
Speaker 1: molded me and helped mold me into the woman I
Speaker 1: am today. Not seeing it as something traumatic and something horrible,
Speaker 1: but bringing out the positive in it, because there's always
Speaker 1: something positive that comes out of a painful situation. And
Speaker 1: then just keeping my eyes on the light at the
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel has always helped me. I say
Speaker 1: that so much, but it's really what has helped me
Speaker 1: my faith in God especial faceless dolorosos. To me, it's
Speaker 1: the best. If I can't give anyone um when they're
Speaker 1: going through a loss, you know, of a loved one,
Speaker 1: a loss of a relationship, a loss of even a
Speaker 1: relationship with your family members, whatever the case may be,
Speaker 1: I always say, just get on your knees and pray
Speaker 1: for strength and try to just keep telling yourself this
Speaker 1: too shall pass. So that's the best advice that I
Speaker 1: can give you. Okay, So question number two comes from
Speaker 1: Alexandra she says, cheekys, what's your new outlook on marriage
Speaker 1: and kids after divorce? Well, I believe in marriage, I
Speaker 1: believe in love. I am I love to love and
Speaker 1: to be loved. So when it comes to kids, I'm
Speaker 1: a little more not hesitants at the word, I'm just
Speaker 1: a little bit more careful. I guess I want to
Speaker 1: make sure that the person that I'm gonna have kids
Speaker 1: with is a good person. Obviously, we all have not
Speaker 1: so good size of of ourselves. That's just how it is.
Speaker 1: But I think that for me, when it comes to children,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, they will this person be a good father?
Speaker 1: Will they be there? What? What is their try record?
Speaker 1: How are they with children? How are they with animals?
Speaker 1: For me, it's like if they treat a dog right,
Speaker 1: an animal that's helpless, they're gonna be great with kids,
Speaker 1: you know. So I see all of that because even
Speaker 1: if the relationship with that person doesn't work, I want
Speaker 1: to know that I can lean on this person to
Speaker 1: have a child with that. I like this person enough
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, I'm gonna have to see you for
Speaker 1: the rest of my life because we're going to share
Speaker 1: a child. So that to me is so important. If not,
Speaker 1: then even if I can't find that person or whatever
Speaker 1: the case may be, because this is just general you guys,
Speaker 1: you know, but but if I can't find that person,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind saying, Okay, I'm and I have a
Speaker 1: child by myself. You know, I'll go to a sperm
Speaker 1: bank or something like that. I am with Emilia, and
Speaker 1: I think you'd be a great father, of course, but
Speaker 1: I'm just taking it slow when it comes to two children.
Speaker 1: As far as marriage, I'm open to the idea. I
Speaker 1: I want to be married. I want to be a bride.
Speaker 1: I loved being a bride, and I wouldn't be opposed
Speaker 1: to getting married again, to be honest, it's just finding
Speaker 1: the right time. And they say, as he gave, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be jaded in regards to that situation
Speaker 1: because I feel like everyone is different and not because
Speaker 1: that situation my first marriage didn't work doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: my second can't. So yeah, that's my allok on it.
Speaker 1: Question number three comes from Melissa. She asks are you
Speaker 1: good at forgiveness? What would you tell anyone trying to
Speaker 1: learn to forgive? Oh? Okay, this is good. I'm all
Speaker 1: about forgiveness. You guys, I am good. I'm good with forgiveness.
Speaker 1: I have to say the way I see it is,
Speaker 1: who am I not to forgive? I'm not perfect, I've
Speaker 1: made mistakes. I want God to forgive me. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to forgive the person even if they haven't asked
Speaker 1: for forgiveness, because again, you guys, forgiving someone is a
Speaker 1: gift that you give yourself, not the other person. It's
Speaker 1: something where you're like, I release myself from this pain,
Speaker 1: and I also release you, and it just gives you
Speaker 1: so much peace. It gives you this feeling of liberation
Speaker 1: and not having to carry that pain around. So I'm
Speaker 1: a huge unforgiveness. I think it really does make you
Speaker 1: a happier person. And when you're holding onto resentment that
Speaker 1: makes you sick, it really does. It causes even health issues,
Speaker 1: you guys, when we are holding onto resentment, so it's
Speaker 1: important even for your health to forgive. That doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you have to forget. You can work on for unforgetting,
Speaker 1: but forgiveness is definitely key and knowing. Okay, I forgive you,
Speaker 1: but maybe I'm going to stay arms length the way
Speaker 1: because I haven't forgotten about this. But I forgive you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And what I would tell someone
Speaker 1: that's trying to forgive is just to see it that way,
Speaker 1: to see it as this is a gift for myself.
Speaker 1: And yes it's difficult, but if I forgive you for
Speaker 1: something that maybe you haven't even admitted to, something that
Speaker 1: you haven't even recognized, it's gonna be healthier for me.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be healthier for me, for my future, and
Speaker 1: it's going to give me those wings to just fly
Speaker 1: and accomplish my dreams and my everyday goals. And now
Speaker 1: that we're on the topic of forgiveness, for those of
Speaker 1: you that don't know, I do have a book called Forgiveness,
Speaker 1: both in Spanish and English, so we have better on
Speaker 1: and forgiveness, and I talk all about forgiveness and the
Speaker 1: journey of forgiving because it is not easy. It's easier
Speaker 1: said than done. But I hope that my book can
Speaker 1: give you even more insight on this topic. So that
Speaker 1: was a good question, Thank you. Question number four comes
Speaker 1: from de Jaa. I'm so sorry. I hope I'm not
Speaker 1: pronouncing your I'm like butchering your name here, pronouncing it wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but she wants to know when you
Speaker 1: can expect new music. Oh nice question. Okay, So new
Speaker 1: music coming like now? Okay, we have we're working on
Speaker 1: the third single of the fourth album. The fourth album
Speaker 1: comes out in April. God willing you guys help me
Speaker 1: pray that we're able to finish the album because I've
Speaker 1: been so busy with the book tour as well, so
Speaker 1: um getting into the studio and getting all that done,
Speaker 1: and I'm such a perfectionist. It's been a little hard.
Speaker 1: But I'm hoping that April we will have a new album,
Speaker 1: which would be my fourth album, you guys. So, and
Speaker 1: we're working on singles, so yes, a lot of new
Speaker 1: music this year, a lot of new music. I have
Speaker 1: a lot of ideas, you guys. I'm hoping to do
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, something very special project
Speaker 1: that's very special to me. So once we get this one,
Speaker 1: which is is the title of the album, then we
Speaker 1: can work on this special music project that I have
Speaker 1: in mind. I love. I gets so excited when I
Speaker 1: talk about music. Okay, So question number five is also
Speaker 1: from dejan Ay. I like that name, but hopefully I'm
Speaker 1: pronouncing it correctly. Okay, So this time she wants to
Speaker 1: know in the past, you've mentioned not wanting to have
Speaker 1: any kids, but more recently you've become more open and
Speaker 1: even excited about the idea. What changed, you know what?
Speaker 1: I think, for the first time in my life, I'm
Speaker 1: dating someone that makes me feel excited about having kids
Speaker 1: because I feel like he would be a wonderful father
Speaker 1: and that's what's important. Even though my unborn child, you know,
Speaker 1: isn't here physically, I think about this kid, you know,
Speaker 1: girl or boy, and I'm like, I, if something happens
Speaker 1: to me, what I feel comfortable leaving my child with
Speaker 1: this person. I love his family. Um, they're really great.
Speaker 1: His mom is amazing, his grandma is Honestly, I feel
Speaker 1: like God gave me a new family. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I know that sounds weird, but like, obviously, yes, a
Speaker 1: new family, but I just I don't know. They're wonderful,
Speaker 1: so I think that they would do a really good
Speaker 1: job helping him raise my child as something were to
Speaker 1: happen to me. So I think of that, and he
Speaker 1: just makes me excited. I know he wants kids, but
Speaker 1: we're having so much fun together that we're just right now.
Speaker 1: We're like, no, we want to travel, we want to
Speaker 1: do all kinds of things. But guys, the truth is
Speaker 1: that my mommy clock is kind of ticking. So to
Speaker 1: make a decision kind of quickly, UM, just letting it be.
Speaker 1: I've said it, you know before. I'm just letting it be.
Speaker 1: I'm not It's like I'm not wanting to, but I'm
Speaker 1: not not wanting to. I hope that makes sense. I'm
Speaker 1: just kind of open. So if it happens, and I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just feel like it's the person that
Speaker 1: i'm with that I'm like, Hey, if it happens, I'll
Speaker 1: be I'll be happy. I'll be like, all right, cool,
Speaker 1: let's let's let's, you know, roll with the punches on
Speaker 1: this one. So thank you for that question. Question number
Speaker 1: six is from DAYA. She says, have you been able
Speaker 1: to watch your mom's Monterey concert footage? Yes? In fact,
Speaker 1: I have. Johnny is the one that has it in
Speaker 1: his hands right now. We have a lot of plans
Speaker 1: for that footage. It is I have not watched it
Speaker 1: in detail. I think what's your question is is if
Speaker 1: I've been able to watch it emotionally because that's when
Speaker 1: she's saying her last song to me. That was the
Speaker 1: last song that she basically dedicated to me publicly, and
Speaker 1: I felt like it was her way of saying, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry that she missed me. So if she wouldn't have
Speaker 1: done that, you guys, I think I would have it
Speaker 1: would have been a lot harder. It gave me piece
Speaker 1: to know that my mom was thinking of me at
Speaker 1: her last concert. We obviously didn't know it was her
Speaker 1: last concert, but at her concert and I knew. I
Speaker 1: knew we missed each other, and I knew it was
Speaker 1: just a matter of time. So I have watched it.
Speaker 1: Every time I watched it, of course I cry. It's
Speaker 1: getting better for me to watch her and to listen
Speaker 1: to her in interviews because I can listen to her
Speaker 1: music without a visual, but once I get a visual,
Speaker 1: I just want to jump into the screen and hug her.
Speaker 1: And especially when it's like the reality show and things
Speaker 1: like that, it really makes me miss my mama. There's
Speaker 1: Jenny Rivera, the artist, and I'm a huge fan of,
Speaker 1: but then there is Dolores Jenne Rivera, who is my mama,
Speaker 1: and her voice and her advice, and it's just that's
Speaker 1: still a little hard for me sometimes. But with the
Speaker 1: Monterrey concert, I think I just have to take off
Speaker 1: my daughter cap and put on a business cap because
Speaker 1: now we have business decisions to make in regards to
Speaker 1: that concert. So I have to really sit down and
Speaker 1: watch it fully. But it has gotten a little easier,
Speaker 1: it has. The next question comes from yes see Flacky's
Speaker 1: nine one. She's wondering if I'll make music with my sister.
Speaker 1: She says it would be nice. Well, well, well, I'm
Speaker 1: so glad you asked me that question. We just had
Speaker 1: a meeting and we have a huge plan my sister
Speaker 1: and I to do something together and with someone else.
Speaker 1: I can't say yet because I wanted to be a
Speaker 1: complete surprise, but it's long overdue, you guys, A song
Speaker 1: with my sister Jackie and I. Jennica, if you guys
Speaker 1: didn't know, has a beautiful voice too, My sister's kin sang.
Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of their voices and Jackie.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to convince Jennica to jump on this song
Speaker 1: with us and this other person. So it's coming, you guys.
Speaker 1: It's something that I've been wanting to do for a
Speaker 1: long time with my sister Jackie. So yes, I agree,
Speaker 1: it would be really nice. Yes, Okay, So question number
Speaker 1: eight is from Jasmine, She says Cheeky's. What's your favorite
Speaker 1: nail in spo or color that never fails? She says
Speaker 1: hers is red Girl. I love red, I love white,
Speaker 1: I love French tip, and I am huge on almond shape.
Speaker 1: I just feel like it just looks a little bit
Speaker 1: more natural. I love gel x versus like traditional acrylic nails.
Speaker 1: And when I have my inspo. It all depends on
Speaker 1: what's going on in my life. But my everyday life,
Speaker 1: Like right now, my nails are like a cloudy white
Speaker 1: because I feel like it goes with everything, and then
Speaker 1: they last a little longer. So when I do something crazy,
Speaker 1: I feel like men fallow. After like a week, I
Speaker 1: get tired of it. So I'm like, I want to
Speaker 1: change it. But I go on Pinterest, you guys, That's
Speaker 1: like my secret. I love Pinterest. I go and I'm
Speaker 1: like nail art and I just get my little inspo
Speaker 1: on there. So I highly recommend that they have great
Speaker 1: stuff on there. It just all depends on my mood.
Speaker 1: During the summer, I love bright colors. I'm all about
Speaker 1: bright pink, me on yellow, all that stuff. It just
Speaker 1: all depends. I'm not afraid to just be like boom,
Speaker 1: you know, be out there, be loud. But my every
Speaker 1: day my go to is a cloudy white, a white white,
Speaker 1: a black red and French tip. Believe it or not.
Speaker 1: I like that question, by the way. Okay. Number nine
Speaker 1: comes from Dora. Her question is, as a person who
Speaker 1: has been judged incorrectly, how have you overcome those struggles
Speaker 1: throughout the years? M hmm, this is this is a
Speaker 1: good one. I have been judged incorrectly quite a bit
Speaker 1: and it's very difficult. I think more so when I
Speaker 1: was going through it. Um, even when they called me unfaithful.
Speaker 1: That's something that really got to me because I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, especially when it's not true. It is
Speaker 1: when it really make gala that I'm like, dude, that sucks.
Speaker 1: And even when it's like true and they say something like,
Speaker 1: it's still like dude, what you don't even know the
Speaker 1: full story? So where are you even giving an opinion?
Speaker 1: But anyways, when I'm judged in correctly, I think what
Speaker 1: has helped me now and I've learned is I need
Speaker 1: to focus on the people that do know me. My siblings,
Speaker 1: my significant other, my team that know me and deal
Speaker 1: with me day by day and that they know that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be capable of doing that, or they know
Speaker 1: who I am. That gives me peace. I asked myself
Speaker 1: every night and I'm like, did you do something good today?
Speaker 1: How do you feel with yourself today? Is there's something
Speaker 1: that you need to apologize about to the person or
Speaker 1: just out loud and say, damn, I probably shouldn't have
Speaker 1: cut that person off or anything. I do like a
Speaker 1: self check every night, and that keeps you accountable, you guys.
Speaker 1: It keeps you on your toes and saying okay, like okay,
Speaker 1: well I want to be better tomorrow. For me, it's
Speaker 1: like I'm not you can judge me, especially if it's incorrectly,
Speaker 1: like you don't even know me. I just check in
Speaker 1: with myself and my way is my heart in the
Speaker 1: right place. That's important, you guys, because you're always going
Speaker 1: to get judged incorrectly and criticized, especially with social media.
Speaker 1: You have to really be strong minded and emotionally. I
Speaker 1: always say, have a hard shell, but a soft heart,
Speaker 1: you know, and just know it's part of life. And
Speaker 1: you know you don't even know me at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, because if you knew me, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: be saying this. So that's what really has helped me.
Speaker 1: And I hope that helps you because if you're asking,
Speaker 1: it's for a reason. Hope that helps. The next question
Speaker 1: comes from the fan page edit ex cheek Ease. The
Speaker 1: question is how is your relationship with Emilia? Going? Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for asking. Um, it's going good. Honestly,
Speaker 1: He's he's a man of peace, guys. I've learned through
Speaker 1: this relationship that I have been so used to drama
Speaker 1: in my life that it's like now that I have peace.
Speaker 1: It's not that it got boring it because it hasn't,
Speaker 1: but it's just like kind of like I would catch
Speaker 1: myself like thinking is it too good to be true?
Speaker 1: Like let me ruffle some feathers real quick so we
Speaker 1: can argue. But I stopped that because that does not
Speaker 1: get you anywhere, you guys. But it's helped me understand
Speaker 1: a lot about myself. He's just such a peaceful dude,
Speaker 1: easy going, no semite, nada. He's just so freaking chill
Speaker 1: that he chills me out. We're a great balance. Um,
Speaker 1: So it's going really well. I have nothing to complain
Speaker 1: about at all. To be honest, he works he does
Speaker 1: his thing, he lets me do my thing. He is
Speaker 1: very good at explaining things to me, and he's so patient.
Speaker 1: Uh it's just a very different relationship for me, to
Speaker 1: be honest. So I really appreciate you asking because it's
Speaker 1: it's going. It's going really good. It really is. I
Speaker 1: can't complain. He's a great guy. He's a great guy.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Amelia. Okay. The next question comes from
Speaker 1: Peaches Grandad one X. The question is which sibling do
Speaker 1: you have the closest relationship with. Okay, So, I have
Speaker 1: to say Jennica. I'm close to all my siblings, but
Speaker 1: I feel like my best friend is Jennica, like overall,
Speaker 1: not just because she's my sibling, but I feel like
Speaker 1: I can speak to her about everything and anything, and
Speaker 1: she is very direct and very honest, and sometimes I'm like, dang,
Speaker 1: you're such an a hole, But um, she's very wise
Speaker 1: beyond her years. So her and I are really really close.
Speaker 1: I think, like, sister, what do you think about this?
Speaker 1: And and and when she has she confides in me,
Speaker 1: So I think because that also, I feel the same
Speaker 1: way with her. But again, I can honestly say I'm
Speaker 1: close with all my siblings. We can talk about anything.
Speaker 1: They can come and talk to me about anything. I
Speaker 1: can go and talk to Jackie. She gives a great
Speaker 1: advice too. So they're all I'm close to them in
Speaker 1: different ways. But I would have to say, if I'm
Speaker 1: being honest, and you guys know I'm honest, it would
Speaker 1: be with Jennica. So yeah, siblings. I hope you guys
Speaker 1: don't get hurt, but they already know. And I think
Speaker 1: we all kind of go to Jenica. Mikey does, Johnny does,
Speaker 1: Jackie does, or Jackie comes to me. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but we all kind of go to Jenica. Okay, So
Speaker 1: question number twelve, Johnny wants to know what the right
Speaker 1: way to deal with a breakup baby. A breakup the
Speaker 1: right way. There is no right way, to be honest,
Speaker 1: it's just something that can help you. Is I don't
Speaker 1: know if you broke up with the person it was
Speaker 1: a mutual agreement or they broke up with you. A
Speaker 1: breakup is always hard, and you just have to know
Speaker 1: that it is a process and you need to trust
Speaker 1: the process. Don't rush anything. I don't recommend onlo that
Speaker 1: was just that's just temporary. If you go and you
Speaker 1: start something with someone else, it can come in backfire.
Speaker 1: So give yourself time to heal first of all, and
Speaker 1: with this person, do the pros and cons list, which
Speaker 1: means what are their qualities and what ior what are
Speaker 1: their faults? You know, and outweigh that. That always helps
Speaker 1: you just see things and say, Okay, what is this
Speaker 1: person causing me? Did they did they cause me more
Speaker 1: pain or more happiness? And regardless of the situation, I
Speaker 1: think that it's just trusting the process and praying yourself
Speaker 1: through it. I always bring up prayer and God because
Speaker 1: that's what's helped me through everything in my life. And
Speaker 1: heartbreak sucks and I know it does. And it's just
Speaker 1: embracing the pain and taking deep breaths and saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fine, everything's gonna be okay, breathing
Speaker 1: through it. That's the best advice that I can give you.
Speaker 1: And give yourself. Give yourself some time, don't rush into anything.
Speaker 1: And if your heart is hurting, johnnyso I really really do,
Speaker 1: because it's it's it's not it's not easy. So I
Speaker 1: feel you. I feel you. Only says here, she's reminding
Speaker 1: me of one of my sayings that I love all
Speaker 1: the time. Remember, Johnny, pain is a pastor promotion. This pain,
Speaker 1: too shall pass, and it's going to bring someone better
Speaker 1: in your life if you learn the lesson that you're
Speaker 1: meant to learn behind this breakup. Okay, this next question
Speaker 1: comes from Yvette. Okay, so she's asking why things ended
Speaker 1: between my ex and I, my ex husband and I,
Speaker 1: And UM, why do I feel and why did I
Speaker 1: say that he's a devil in disguise? I don't know
Speaker 1: when I said at you, guys, I don't think I
Speaker 1: said it about him. I said it about someone that
Speaker 1: came after our separation, which you, guys, if you have
Speaker 1: the book and you read it. If not, go read it.
Speaker 1: I talk about um the devil and disguise, but I
Speaker 1: don't think I said it about about him, per se.
Speaker 1: Things ended for many reasons, guys. Um, there's not one
Speaker 1: actually one main main reason. But it all boils down
Speaker 1: to lies. I don't care how big, how white, how black.
Speaker 1: The lie is a lie is a lie, and I
Speaker 1: prefer in ugly, the ugly truth then a disguised lie.
Speaker 1: I just I can't, I just I cannot with that.
Speaker 1: So it really does boil down to the lying because
Speaker 1: when you lie in a relationship, it really brings out
Speaker 1: insecurities that makes you rethink everything, and a person that
Speaker 1: you're with should make you feel confident and secure and
Speaker 1: and and emotionally stable. You guys are supposed to help
Speaker 1: each other and give each other that, So if someone's
Speaker 1: not doing that and and pulling in their bargain of
Speaker 1: the deal, it just makes everything lopsided and it brings
Speaker 1: up a lot of different things. So lying is a
Speaker 1: no no. Guys in relationships, just be straight up, like
Speaker 1: straight up like here. It is the good of the
Speaker 1: bad and the ugly. So that's to make it short ish.
Speaker 1: Lying was a huge thing, and then you will get
Speaker 1: the details in my book Unstappable, So I recommend you
Speaker 1: read that Unstappable or Invincible in Espanol. I just wants
Speaker 1: to know if I've ever regretted being a public figure
Speaker 1: because of the lack of privacy and constant cheeseman. No, honestly,
Speaker 1: I have never felt that way. I've never felt like
Speaker 1: I regret the path that I'm on. I feel like
Speaker 1: I am definitely on the path that God wants me
Speaker 1: to be on. Because this wasn't necessarily my plan, My
Speaker 1: whole life. It's just something that happened, and choices that
Speaker 1: I made obviously created this destiny. But no, I think
Speaker 1: it's it's someone just asked me the other day, like
Speaker 1: chickens doesn't bother you like and publico, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, I've learned to also switch that. There are
Speaker 1: times when I'm like literally in the middle of eating
Speaker 1: a taco and and they come and ask for a picture,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I haven't even finished chewing my you know,
Speaker 1: my food, and like my finger smelled like cilantro and acho,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm like kind of like, uh, sometimes
Speaker 1: I feel like more prudent when coming to ask for
Speaker 1: a picture, but I never say no to a picture,
Speaker 1: and I just see it as it's a blessing. And
Speaker 1: I I've seen it this this way since I was little,
Speaker 1: since I've seen my mom, you know, every where we went,
Speaker 1: they would stop us, didn't matter where we were, to
Speaker 1: ask her for a picture. And I always saw it like,
Speaker 1: these are the people that help my mom feed us,
Speaker 1: you know, they buy her music, they buy her products,
Speaker 1: and I was just always so grateful with them, and
Speaker 1: that's how I feel now. Even more so, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, they're asking for a picture for a reason.
Speaker 1: You know, they probably watched the things that I do.
Speaker 1: They're reading my books or listen to my podcast. Like
Speaker 1: the least I can do is take a picture, so
Speaker 1: I don't regret it. I I feel like it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful way of helping others, and um, God has given
Speaker 1: me this platform to do something positive and that's the
Speaker 1: way that I see it. So thank you so much
Speaker 1: for for that question. Iris Jocelyne Ochoa asks what's the
Speaker 1: biggest risk you've ever taken? The biggest risk? I'm a
Speaker 1: risk taker. I'm all about taking risks. I feel like
Speaker 1: if you don't risk, there's no gain, Like you have
Speaker 1: to be somewhat of a gambler in life in order
Speaker 1: to achieve your goals in order to be successful. Now,
Speaker 1: I think the biggest risk that I've taken in and
Speaker 1: I don't think I know was was getting married because
Speaker 1: I knew and I had that hunch and that feeling
Speaker 1: of he's not ready to be the man that I need.
Speaker 1: But I still took the risk and it was a
Speaker 1: costly painful risk. So I think that one has been
Speaker 1: the biggest thus far and the most painful. So without
Speaker 1: giving too much detail, you guys can read it in
Speaker 1: my book Unstoppable. I have to be honest. That's definitely
Speaker 1: the biggest Edgar asks. I would like to know how
Speaker 1: you stay so positive and motivated. Every day I wake
Speaker 1: up and I say that I want to be a
Speaker 1: positive force in the world, and anyone that is in
Speaker 1: my life and comes into my life and watches my
Speaker 1: stories on Instagram, and I just know that it's a
Speaker 1: part of my mission and it's what makes me happy
Speaker 1: to make others happy, to make them, you know, to
Speaker 1: inspire them. And the comments that I get in my
Speaker 1: d m s stating that okay, I'm on the right
Speaker 1: track makes me feel good. So every day it's a
Speaker 1: choice that I make. It's an everyday choice, guys, like
Speaker 1: it is in marriage or your partner, Like you have
Speaker 1: to choose that person every day. You have to choose
Speaker 1: to want to be better, you know, to to have
Speaker 1: a better body, which means you have to do certain things.
Speaker 1: So it's a choice. Every single day is an opportunity.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's helped me because it makes me happy.
Speaker 1: So I choose to say I want to be positive.
Speaker 1: I want to be motivated because if I feel positive,
Speaker 1: if I am motivated, then I can motivate others. And
Speaker 1: I need to be the better version of myself every
Speaker 1: single day. So I choose myself, Guys. I choose myself
Speaker 1: every day because by choosing myself, I choose you, guys.
Speaker 1: Alfredo Martinez wants to know if you were to change
Speaker 1: anything from the past, what would it be. Wow. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm the type of person that doesn't really like to
Speaker 1: regret anything. I feel like everything helps you become who
Speaker 1: you are meant to become in life. I think if
Speaker 1: I had to change anything, to be honest, is opening
Speaker 1: up that door of getting tattoos because I was so
Speaker 1: young when I was eighteen when I got my first tattoo,
Speaker 1: and then I kind of just liked it, and then
Speaker 1: now I'm at an age where I'm like, oh, what
Speaker 1: did I do that? So I think that's the only
Speaker 1: thing that I would probably change. Other than that, even
Speaker 1: like the situation with my mom and everything, It's taught
Speaker 1: me so much that I don't know if i'd say
Speaker 1: I'd necessarily change it. But something that I have a
Speaker 1: little bit more control over is my body and what
Speaker 1: I do to it. So I would probably say that
Speaker 1: because now I want to remove them all to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, my my tattoo. Okay, next question is
Speaker 1: from Chantal. She says, how do you and your siblings
Speaker 1: managed to not let arguments create riffs or damage your
Speaker 1: relationship as siblings? I love that question, and any siblings
Speaker 1: out there that are listening, I recommend for you guys
Speaker 1: to make it your mission, and sometimes it could be
Speaker 1: a mission impossible to keep yourselves united. My mom is
Speaker 1: something that mink, something that she embedded in me. Every
Speaker 1: single almost every single day, I kild you not. I
Speaker 1: want you and your siblings to be different from me
Speaker 1: and my siblings. I don't want you guys to fight.
Speaker 1: And it is your duty and your responsibility as the
Speaker 1: eldest to keep you guys together. And that's what I've done.
Speaker 1: And I think because I have that so present that
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, the best way that I can honor
Speaker 1: my mom's legacy is by taking care of her most
Speaker 1: precious jewels, her most precious treasures, which are my siblings.
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's how I'm honoring her, and
Speaker 1: I'm honoring our her hard work and everything that she
Speaker 1: had to sacrifice. For us is by keeping us together,
Speaker 1: and it's just wanting to be better and wanting that
Speaker 1: relationship and not allowing as the eldest um. And you
Speaker 1: don't have to be the eldest to do this. You
Speaker 1: could be the youngest, the middle child, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's saying, you know, wait a second, no matter what happens,
Speaker 1: we cannot let anybody come between us. Of Course we're
Speaker 1: going to argue. Of course we're going to disagree, but
Speaker 1: we let's agree to disagree sort of thing like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're all different, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we have the same goal, which is being together, which
Speaker 1: is being good for our parents. Because so it's doing
Speaker 1: it for a better good being close to your sip things.
Speaker 1: So I hope that helped. Evalia Barrassa Lopez wants to
Speaker 1: know what I order at Starbucks. She says, I would
Speaker 1: like to know more about your Starbucks to rings with
Speaker 1: low sugar or sugar free. She says, she's trying to
Speaker 1: make a change. Oh my god, lah, yeah, um, that's
Speaker 1: wonderful that you're trying to make a change. It's the
Speaker 1: small changes that make a big difference. I saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm gonna do sugar free sugar like
Speaker 1: you're doing now, Like this is great. I'm really really
Speaker 1: happy for you. So what I order is a Keto drink.
Speaker 1: It is an iced coffee, a splash of heavy whipping cream,
Speaker 1: two pumps of sugar free vanilla, and one packet of
Speaker 1: Stevia iced and you could do this. I like it
Speaker 1: iced better than hot, but that is what I get
Speaker 1: at Starbucks. So and if you don't like um heavy
Speaker 1: whipping cream, always ask for a splash, because if not,
Speaker 1: you can ask for a little bit of almond milk
Speaker 1: as well. I don't like anything too sweet, so that's
Speaker 1: why I do two pumps of sugar free vanilla and
Speaker 1: one Stevia packet. But yeah, try that. Let me know
Speaker 1: what you think, Okay, send me a damn girl. Okay,
Speaker 1: so says what would the cheeky ease of the present
Speaker 1: day say to a cheekis who is fifteen years old?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you got me on this one. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me think back. Oh fifteen, I was going through
Speaker 1: quite a bit actually with my mom. My mom wasn't
Speaker 1: talking to me for two months. That was the very
Speaker 1: first time she had shut me out. Of her life
Speaker 1: was when I was fourteen turning fifteen. So for my
Speaker 1: fifteenth birthday, you guys, I didn't get a happy birthday
Speaker 1: from my mom. I talked about it in my book Forgiveness.
Speaker 1: If you guys want to go and you know, catch
Speaker 1: the full story. But anyways, Oh, what would I tell her?
Speaker 1: To be more honest? That's what I would tell her,
Speaker 1: that little be I would tell that little cheek ees um,
Speaker 1: be more honest, be straight up um again, Honesty is
Speaker 1: the best policy, guys, I I could have. That argument
Speaker 1: that I had with my mom was so silly. It
Speaker 1: was all because I wasn't I didn't communicate. Communication is
Speaker 1: key in every relationship, and I didn't communicate to my
Speaker 1: mom that we had gotten out of school early and
Speaker 1: at I was gonna go across the street to have
Speaker 1: a hamburger and cheese, a cheeseburger and fries with my friends.
Speaker 1: May say way boys, and say let me say a way,
Speaker 1: you know, lad, I should have called her and said, hey, Mom,
Speaker 1: I didn't know I had forgot we're getting out early.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go across the street. She thought I had
Speaker 1: deceived her, and I did. In a way, I should
Speaker 1: have let her know, so be more honest. For sure,
Speaker 1: I would be like, you know, just just be communicate girl,
Speaker 1: It'll keep you out of trouble. So I'll tell I'll
Speaker 1: tell that chee is that every day because Jesus. Okay,
Speaker 1: so good question. Soy diego g a d o y
Speaker 1: he says, He says, his question number twenty one. Which
Speaker 1: prayer do you do when you feel you can't handle
Speaker 1: things anymore? Oh? Okay, So it's it's not a prayer,
Speaker 1: but it's the serenity prayer. Well, I guess it is
Speaker 1: a prayer, but it's not like in the Bible. It's
Speaker 1: a serenity prayer. And it goes like this, God grant
Speaker 1: me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Speaker 1: the courage to change the things that I can, and
Speaker 1: wisdom to know the difference. That helps me so much
Speaker 1: in times of gribulation in pain. Also, I don't know
Speaker 1: the Bible verse, but I know what it says, I
Speaker 1: can do all things through Christ who strengthened me. That's
Speaker 1: one that my mom always use. So those two are
Speaker 1: my go to prayers. So I really like that question.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for asking um. So hopefully it
Speaker 1: helps you. I am Armando j asks will you ever

Speaker 1: It is kind of a quote, but I want to
Speaker 1: give you guys a little bit of advice now that
Speaker 1: we're on this like ask cheekies questions stuff. I used
Speaker 1: to have this quote on the wall in the bathroom
Speaker 1: of my salon and it said today, commit an act
Speaker 1: of kindness. So I want to tell you guys to
Speaker 1: do the same. Commit an act of kindness every single day,
Speaker 1: start today if you can. It could be as simple
Speaker 1: as opening up the door for someone helping an elderly lady.
Speaker 1: If you see her putting her groceries in her car,
Speaker 1: maybe offer her some help. I don't know. Send someone
Speaker 1: like inedible arrangement out of nowhere. Someone that you were
Speaker 1: thinking about. Doesn't have to mean nothing crazy big. Send
Speaker 1: someone that you love or someone you haven't talked to
Speaker 1: in a long time. Send them a little message of hope. Hey,
Speaker 1: almost us thinking of you. Praying for you. Just I
Speaker 1: wanted to give you guys that advice. I think it's
Speaker 1: super important to always commit an act of kindness every
Speaker 1: single day because it's paying it forward and I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just felt in my heart to do that, So
Speaker 1: do it. And with that being said, thank you guys
