13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: mom is Rhonda Henderson. How many times it like a week,

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,920

00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: help me Rondo. Oh, I don't know. It's not as

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: much during the week because I'm working with women. It's

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: around men like your dad's friends will go help help

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: me Ron. They think they're original. And he actually just

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: told a story. There's a lady in his office right

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: now and her name is Rhonda, and somebody did that

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: to her, and you know, your dad being Mr Empathy

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: like you are. He said, Hey, how many times to

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: have people said that to you in your lifetime? So yeah,

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: it's quite often. I always think of I had a

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: friend growing up, Sarah. If she's listening, Um, who would

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: stand in your window when we were at school and

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: that's my office where I was disciplining kids usually and

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: I would have them sitting on my couch. I would

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: be looking at the window and she would be doing that,

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: and it was really hard to keep a straight face. Sarah,

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: she was allowed one. Well, that kind of gets into

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: what you do. So I always think about, you know,

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm in a really lucky position because I have a

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: lot of badass women to kind of look at around

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: my life that are bosses or they just have a

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: lot going on. And I was like, the O G

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: that my mom um? And so you you were a

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: school teacher for how many years? I was a school

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: teacher for seventeen years? Seventeen years and then you started

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: being and then but yeah, I was a school teacher.

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: And you know in Baton Rouge, a lot of kids

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: do protecies. We should say where I grew up and

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: where we're from, Louisiana, but you now live in Texas,

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: and so they have a really a big system of

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: private school. So we were in a private school there, um,

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: and I was teaching fourth grade, and the headmaster there

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: approached me because he wanted to open a middle school.

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: So they had they had a lower school in an

49
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: upper school, so they wanted to uh start a school

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: that had sixth through eighth grade, and so he approached

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: me about being the principal of that. And I really

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: was that I had my masters, but that wasn't what

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: I had planned on doing, and so I became a principal.

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: And then when we moved to Texas, your dad for

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: some reason wanted me to go back into the class

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: and for a year, so I did. I did that, Yeah,

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: because he was going to be commuting, Um, he thought

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: it would be easier. And then after a year he

59
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: forgot how hard it is to be a teacher because teachers,

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, for as underpaid as they are, they work

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: all day long and then when they get home some more.

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: And so he's like, can you go back into administrations?

63
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: So I started doing that and so um, in my

64
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: current district, I've been an administrator for seventeen years and

65
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: a principle for fourteen and The interesting thing about the

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Texas community. You're in the Katie I s D, which

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: is community rights outside of Houston. But it is like

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: when I go to your school, it's like a small

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: it's to me coming from a small private school, your school,

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: your elementary school, feels like a small college or something huge.

71
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: How many kids do you have? I have? I think

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: we have about a thousand and fifty right now. It

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: changes a little bit, but you know, between that and

74
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: eleven hundreds. So I have a eight or nine sections

75
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: of each grade level K through five. My fourth grade

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: has ten sections right now, which is a huge you know.

77
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: And then we have you know, so I have nine

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: teams of teachers of eight or nine teachers, and then

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: the office staff has about ten people on it, about

80
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: a hundred eight hundred, ten faculty members. And jeez, I

81
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: have the most respect for teachers. I always have said

82
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: that when I've gone to visit you at school and stuff.

83
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know one dealing with that many kids, dealing

84
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: with the parents. Like you said, it's such an underpaid job,

85
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: right well, and you have to love it. I mean,

86
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: people are doing that job because they want to impact

87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: the world and they want to give back and elementary

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: school principles, I think ivan teachers. What a lot of

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: people don't realize about elementary school teachers is that they

90
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: they have kids all day, so they can't do their work,

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: so they have to do it after school or when

92
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: they get home at night. So you know, trying to

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: balance that in their families is crazy. Did you So

94
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: that is kind of an interesting topic because you know,

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: you've always worked my whole life, and so what how

96
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: did you like as a mom? Were you ever thinking

97
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: like were you just wired to be a working mom?

98
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: You think? Or do you like? Once you had us,

99
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: did you ever think about just staying at home? I did,

100
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, Like when I had you, and then later

101
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: when I had Zachary, I tried staying at home a

102
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: year with each of y'all, and with you, I did

103
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: stay home a whole year, and then I went back

104
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: part time so I was able to job share, so

105
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: I was able to work half a day, which worked

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: out really well. But yeah, I look back at it

107
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: now and I go, Wow, how did I work and

108
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: do all the things I did? Because I feel like

109
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: I was a pretty involved mom, And then I don't

110
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: I look at my life now and I go, I

111
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: don't know how I fit everything yet? How did you

112
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: have this? But I just never stopped. Yeah, you know,

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: because when I was younger. Wait. I also want to

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: make a little side to and Jake because you mentioned

115
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: my brother Zachary, So I think we should point out

116
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: if there's any say by the bell fans, Yes, my

117
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: name is Kelly and my brother is zach Did you

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: plan that on fact? I did not know. I actually

119
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: chose your name, you know, kind of you said you

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: were going to name me Rachel. I imagine if Rachel

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I had because your dad and I looked so different

122
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: in coloring, so you know, I had to have a

123
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: name that in my mind was had darker skin and

124
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: darker hair like me, and that was Rachel. Reddish hair

125
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: that was Rachel. And then I had like one that

126
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: was like if you would turn out like him with

127
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: the more reddish hair and blue eyes, it would lead

128
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: I don't have red hair. You did when you were born,

129
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: though you were everything about I was a ginger. Yeah,

130
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, I never knew that about myself. Look

131
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: at your baby pictures. God learned something new every day.

132
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: So okay, that was Kelly in your head. The light

133
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: eyes light and then your dad, which is really just

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: as funny because Zachary turned out not to even like athletics,

135
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: but your dad, being the football player that he was

136
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: listened to, he tried names out like they would sound

137
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: on the loud speaker, you know, and so he was

138
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: like Zachary, Zachary, the zach Attack, but Zachary little and

139
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: zach Attack was also Zack Morris's band on. So yet

140
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: another time, because are referencing that. So thanks, okay, um

141
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: back to I don't now it totally lost what we

142
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: were even talking about. But you were talking about being

143
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: a working mom. What I was thinking too, is like

144
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: when we were younger. I mean, I remember when Zachar

145
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: is little, you decided to go back and get your masters,

146
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: which was you were working a full time job, you

147
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: had two small kids, and then you went back at

148
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: night you were going to grad school. Like, how did

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: you do that? Did you sleep? You don't sleep a

150
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: lot when you're in grad school. You know, I did

151
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: it twice. So I did it once and when we

152
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: lived in Baton Rouge at l s U, and then

153
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I did it again at University of Houston. I got

154
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: a second, you know, I went back for a second one,

155
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: and so it's like just yeah, you don't sleep, and

156
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, people always say, do you want to get

157
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: your doctor? And I said, and my husband would just

158
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: kill me, yeah I went back, would be yeah, So yeah,

159
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: it's it's you just go. And also I was a runner,

160
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: so I ran long distances and worked out and then

161
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: all of that. So I feel, I know, I look

162
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: back and I go, I don't I don't know how

163
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: I did it. Well. I feel like a lot of

164
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: people listening, because you know, I have like eight hundred

165
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: jobs and people are always like, how do you do it?

166
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't know either, But I don't

167
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: know that I know. I think it is you're sort

168
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: of a product of your environment. Like we were talking

169
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: about this earlier. I don't know that I even think

170
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: about the fact that I do all that stuff. It's

171
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: just it's what I'm passionate about. It's what I do,

172
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: and I just move and that's kind of what you

173
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: always did. So maybe I just I don't know, I

174
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: saw you doing it, and maybe so maybe I don't

175
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: know do you. I mean, you're obviously a driven person. Yeah,

176
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: you know you. I mean, if you look at My

177
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: top five achiever is definitely in my top five of

178
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: them Clifton Strengths, the Clifton Strength Finding Girl. Yeah, if

179
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: you guys are interested in personality tests, my mom and

180
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: I are really into that stuff, so we always do that.

181
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: But this one is gallop what is it? Strength finder?

182
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: Clifton strength Finders, And your top one is achiever. No,

183
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: my top one is strategy, but I think achievers like

184
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: number three or four. So yeah, like I always have

185
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: us strategy and we're playing. My second one is ideation,

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: so I always have ideas, so you know, that's the

187
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: creative parts, right that, and then the you know, achiever. Okay,

188
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: this is I just had this interesting thought because I

189
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: was while you were saying yours, I was thinking about mine.

190
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: My top one is empathy, which there's thirty streets. Yeah,

191
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: my number thirty four is in the Okay, So that

192
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: brings up an interesting point because obviously like I am

193
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: in some ways like you because as far as it

194
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: being driven and doing a lot of things, being very

195
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: like wanting my own life kind of deal. Definitely like you.

196
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: But how do you think that we survived? I always

197
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: say that was your rebellion against me, to be a feeler,

198
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: like you were a really pretty pretty good kid. You know,

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: you were easy to raise basically be I said her

200
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: one rebellion against me, which she was always so nice

201
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: to people, and passion, you know, like I care about

202
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: people and I want people to achieve, and like my

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: number five is maximize er, so I'm always looking for

204
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: ways to help people achieve their goals and all of that.

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: But like, I really don't want to get in your

206
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: problems with you, and I love it at your thing.

207
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: So I always say that was your rebellion against me,

208
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: I guess, and you're going to be your rebellious but

209
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: you got them from your dad because number one is empathy. Yes, yes,

210
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: we're the feelers of the family for sure. Someone like

211
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking this morning, I got a call from

212
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: a friend who's going through a breakup. And that's a

213
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: pretty common day for me. I have multiple friends who

214
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: call you know when people are going through things that

215
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm a good person for people to want to talk

216
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: to you. I know, for me when I'm going through something,

217
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: you're a great person to call when I need to

218
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: handle business, Like we always talk about Yeah, I've talked

219
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: about them here before, you know, I was engaged at

220
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: one point, and I cancel my wedding. You were the

221
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: first call I made. You got on a plane that

222
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: day and you came and you just handled business into

223
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: this apartment. Yes, moved into a condo, canceled all this stuff.

224
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: That was brutal, But well, we don't need to dive

225
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: into all that. No, I'm definitely And then I swooped

226
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: out and your friends swooped in. Yeah, when I needed to,

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: like do the crying and all of that, the grieving process.

228
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: But I'm not really an uncaring and mean person. But no,

229
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just different people have different strengths, and

230
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a funny, Like it's an interesting dynamic

231
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: of our relationship because we're we're similar, like I said,

232
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: But then there's that that is a huge part of

233
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: a personality, and like I think, I know I've had

234
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: to over the years learn like what you're doing in

235
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: certain capacities, like when you're doing stuff for me, that's

236
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: the way you show love. One of course, mine is

237
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: like quality time, words of affirmation. Um, okay, I asked

238
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends, so I'm taking us. I

239
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: took a little break from social media over the holidays

240
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: just as a detox and just to um spend time

241
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: with my family. But so I'll typically ask my readers,

242
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, for questions. So since I wasn't doing social media,

243
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: I asked them of my friends questions they wanted to

244
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: know from you. So what was I like as a

245
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: child was like the main one. A lot of them

246
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: said you were very strong willed, and uh you you

247
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: never slept, I mean during the day. You never slept

248
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: during the day like you would sleep all night. But

249
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: you definitely still you had fear of missing out early on.

250
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm still that way. You know, during the day, I

251
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: was just dying for a nap most of the time,

252
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: and you wanted to stay awake, so you would you know,

253
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: you wanted to be there if people were there, if

254
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: I had friends over, you wanted to be in the

255
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: middle of that all the time. You always had friends

256
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: as you grew up, and you know, either we had

257
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: friends at our house or you were at somebody's house.

258
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: There was never really a whole lot of being alone.

259
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: And you were very strong. Will tell this story, well,

260
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: this wasn't just fun event, but like whenever I would

261
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: have to put you in time out because you were

262
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: a strong willed that you didn't always want to listen

263
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: to me. And I would say, um, hey, it's you

264
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: go go sit in time out. You'd go, I'm not

265
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: going to sit in time out, and so I'd say, well,

266
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: I would say yes, and so then you, yeah, you

267
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: were sassy, so you would I would bring you to

268
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: your room and you would say, I Am not going

269
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: to stay in here. I would literally have to hold

270
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: the door shut for you to be in time out.

271
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: So she always talked about sitting on the other side

272
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: of the door, and we're both like ripping at the door.

273
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm obviously trying to open in she's trying to keep

274
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: it shut because we're both pretty strong. Will you know

275
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: which you know works out for me now because kindergarteners

276
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: kick our butts pretty much. So you're come in there

277
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: and when they're having to learn how to how to

278
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: behave in school, and so I'm like, I am the

279
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: queen of strong will that I will win me or

280
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: I am the boss of the school. So you know,

281
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: it was good training. So you're well like that. You

282
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,119
Speaker 1: were like that and you always wanted to be into everything,

283
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: and I think you're still like that. You had like

284
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: a million differ for groups to friends. Totally like that.

285
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: You know, you had this group of friends and that

286
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: group of friends, and you could never say no to

287
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: any of them, so you always wanted to go so

288
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, and you were a hard worker um as

289
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: far as school, but the social aspects of school were

290
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: more like I remember I was a principal at the

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: same school where you went to high school, and the

292
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: teachers would come up to me and say, Kelly, sure

293
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: is chatty today? And I would say, chatty, mom, chatty dad.

294
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you know, you know,

295
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: take care of it. What would you do with somebody else?

296
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: But so, yeah, I definitely special. You weren't ever got

297
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: in trouble. There was that one time, do you remember, okay?

298
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I I remember being grounded twice one time. Um. I

299
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: didn't even have my driver's license yet, and I our

300
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: school was really small, into a small private school and

301
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: the campus was like tiny. So my friend, who did

302
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: have her driver's license, would let me drive her car

303
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: from the parking lot to the baseball field. And I

304
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: thought I was so cool and like so bad. And

305
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: one day I was babysitting my little brother after school

306
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: and I let him sit in my lap and steer

307
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the wheel and well on accident, remember you picked him

308
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: up first. This is like class, but this is we

309
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: should tell this because this is classic because I'm like

310
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: the mafia. Yeah, I mean, like you, I couldn't get

311
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: away with anything. Plus she worked at my school, so

312
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: it was like, I mean, I was never ever going

313
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: to be able to do anything bad, but without you

314
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: finding out. Because Zachary gets in the car and he's like,

315
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: how did he say it to? You know? He had

316
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: a doctor pepper and a candy board. I was like,

317
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: where did you get that? Because we get you know,

318
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: and he said, I can't tell you And what do

319
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: you mean you can't tell me? Well, Kelly said, she's

320
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: going to burn all my toy I tell you, And

321
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I was made a lot of threats, so I got

322
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: it out of him. And the funny part is so

323
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: then I went and picked Kelly up from the baseball

324
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: game later and I said, so, how was your day?

325
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: And because I did, and then I said, well I

326
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: heard you know you said now you said, did anything

327
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: interesting happen today or something? And I knew you knew then,

328
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: So she was like, how much do you know? No,

329
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: I said, what do you think happened today? Another evidence

330
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: of our strong wills back and forth. We finally got that.

331
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: So you got punished then, But our favorite way to

332
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: punish you because you like to talk so much that

333
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: I have to set this up. My husband had a

334
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: home office and so like there was it was before

335
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: the internet was really big, but there was like you know,

336
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: face time or something like that. And then he had

337
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: a phone where you could do three way calling, and

338
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: then there was the beginning of the big cell phone,

339
00:17:55,160 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: speaking of Zach Morris. Morris, So anyway, um would sit

340
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: with her feet on his desk. She had the computer

341
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: going with whatever that was, and and then there was

342
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: it was a AIM or whatever like UM A O

343
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: L had instant messages that chatting with going on. She

344
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: would have a three way call going on the phone

345
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: and then the cellphone all at once. So favorite way

346
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: to ground her was communication grounding. So she could have

347
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: none of that. She couldn't have the phone, she couldn't

348
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: have the computer, she couldn't brood. I mean that. And

349
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: so one time, I think this was the biggest thing

350
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: you ever did. That was a lot about staying at

351
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: a friend's house or not because I was an older girl.

352
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: It still wasn't even that freshman. She was the scene

353
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: and she was on my basketball team, and she invited

354
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: me and another girl to cost to the night. But

355
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I knew you wouldn't let me go because you guys

356
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: were really strict on me. Though, can you admit that

357
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: we were You were the first time and I was

358
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: a girl, so dad was like even more hardcore. Plus

359
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: we had done pretty much everything there was to do,

360
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: so we weren't as naive as a lot of other parents.

361
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: Well y'all didn't like let that onto me. Like, I'm

362
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: slowly like finding out that you guys both that were

363
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: in the stuff. So yeah, then you were like even

364
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: more strict on me. But yeah, so I had I went,

365
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: she invited me over. I knew you guys wouldn't let

366
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: me go, so I said I was staying at another

367
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: friend's house, the girl she had also invited, and we

368
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: both went to Carry's house and stayed, and then of

369
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: course Mafia Ronda p I. Ronda finds out and I

370
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: had just started dating my high school boyfriend only could

371
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: leave the house to go to my summer league basketball games,

372
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: and no phone, no TV. But remember we gave you visitation.

373
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: He came over hesitation. It sounds like I'm in jail.

374
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I was. It was two weeks of communication, grounding, and

375
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: so so we uh we let him come over, but

376
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: it was like we had to be there right awkward.

377
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: It's like I'm sixteen years old and my parents are

378
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: sitting there in my first boyfriend it was monitoring our conversation. Yeah,

379
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean shockingly we dated for nine years apparently. Yeah,

380
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: apparently he was like one of our kids. Yeah it

381
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: worked out, okay, okay, Well some people were like, what

382
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: were you creative as a child. I don't really feel

383
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: like I was. You know, I think that's been the

384
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: kind of I don't want to say it's surprising because

385
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: we have so much creativity in our family. You know,

386
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: we have so many artists and stuff, but like, I'm

387
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: not like sit down and draw kind of personally, I'm

388
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: a doodler, but I'm real creative thinker. But I never

389
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: really thought of you as creative. I mean, your brother

390
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: was the one that was artist. Yeah, and everything he were.

391
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: He did do all that drama and stuff in high school.

392
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, classes who were all but dance think

393
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: that yeah, dance, But I didn't ever really think of

394
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: you as creative as you've ended up being. Yeah, like

395
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I would end up in a creative field, right, Yeah,

396
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: I knew you would be in a field with people

397
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: you know and talking to people, as I said on

398
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: my podcast, But I didn't think that you would necessarily

399
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: end up being like a makeup artist or I don't

400
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: even wear makeup in high school, people always asked me that,

401
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: and I'm like, god, I was like, played basketball. I

402
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a tomboy. I think I was always pretty girly,

403
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: but like I wasn't into like I was more natural, right,

404
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: which is still my makeup style. Well, I just remember

405
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: remember her those fights we would have when you would

406
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: we would go shopping for your clothes, and your dad

407
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: just finally said, hey, I'm going to do an intervention here.

408
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: Just give her the credit card. Let her go by herself,

409
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: because every time you'll come and the fights were I

410
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: always wanted you to get something feminine with flowers, lace.

411
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: You were like, no, you were super tailored, edgy. You know,

412
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: you wanted to wear at school, you had to wear

413
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: your school uniforms that you were just yeah, you wanted

414
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: to do jeans or and I always wanted you to.

415
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: I don't know why because I was a tomboy and

416
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: I know that's so weird to me. Anyway, that's funny

417
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: that you had that idea. I mean I do think that, like,

418
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: I am in a creative field sort of, but I

419
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: can I still think of myself as more business minded

420
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: than creative, which is really weird. But I don't know,

421
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: I think that's a part of yourself. I remember when

422
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: you moved here and you said you were taking art

423
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: classes or something, and you were like, I'm trying to

424
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: embrace my creative So yeah, you know, I think everybody

425
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: goes through those kinds of things. Well. We also, the

426
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: school that I went to was really small, and I

427
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: don't feel like there were I mean, it was just

428
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: maybe the way that the school was, there wasn't as

429
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: many options, like even at your school now. I mean

430
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: you tell me times about like the classes that are offered.

431
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: I remember these like bigger school because Zachary and went

432
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: to bigger school. There's just so many more different kinds

433
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: of groups, different outlets, different things that I wasn't even

434
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: really presented with, you know, so you're kind of more

435
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: in a box that I think I was exploring more

436
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: of that college. You were a lot more in high school,

437
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: a lot more preppy, like you know, really a lot

438
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: more preppy. People asked to see pictures, and I said, no,

439
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: thank you. I actually when I was when I was

440
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: at Mama said, I was looking through pictures this weekend.

441
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: I saw some that picture you hate of yourself with

442
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 1: the braces and the and the watch, the watch. I mean,

443
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: I should probably post it just for everyone's pleasure, but

444
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's almost like cruel to me.

445
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: And when I go home and I see these pictures

446
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: of like junior high, I think that's everyone's really awkward face,

447
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: and you have it framed at the house, like Mama,

448
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: can't we forget that? He keep in the comble, gives

449
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: me character. Okay, so this is a big question I got.

450
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: What is it like watching me on a reality show? Oh?

451
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends asked that, like, well, it's

452
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: been very interesting for me because you know my reality

453
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: shows that I watched our Cupcake Wars, and um, they're

454
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: not gonna love it or listed or something like that.

455
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm not like really into to the I wasn't really

456
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: into all of the ones that everybody. I mean they're

457
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: like the real are really Yeah, they're like real. Ye,

458
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Like it's a whole genre. And so people were so

459
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 1: excited that that when they found out you were going

460
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: to be on this, I mean, it's like they were like, Wow,

461
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be so great. And they were talking about

462
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: all of the shows that Kristen had done growing up,

463
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: and YE said a lot of your friends had to

464
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: go back and watched of those because I didn't even

465
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: really you know, I was busy. I guess, yeah, I

466
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: didn't really watch this, so watch those. But I literally

467
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: watched a couple of the shows through my fingers, you know,

468
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: they were like covering my eyes and two. Yeah. Um.

469
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: And then there was one that you had told your

470
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: dad and I probably not to watch. Well, I said,

471
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: a dad, maybe don't watch It was when the Canadian

472
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: came to town and Kristen was we were talking about circumcision. Yeah,

473
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: don't really something you want your dad to watch you

474
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: talk about? Right? So he wasn't watching it, and so

475
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: he said, are you couldn't watch it? She told us

476
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: not to and I said, yeah, I'm gonna watch. And

477
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: I said watch at your own just like you guys

478
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: choose that you want to watch it, so anyway, so

479
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: that's what I did. So I watched through my fingers,

480
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: So that was kind of funny. But but every Monday more,

481
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: every Monday at lunch, my whole team of my administrative team,

482
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: that was a conversation everybody. So everybody watched on Sunday night.

483
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: And then yeah, so did they ask you, like if

484
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: there's a couple of people on my team that were

485
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: really into um that, I mean they're into reality t big,

486
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: big time, so that was big for them. Yeah, that's

487
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: a that's a weird. It's interesting if I think I've

488
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: had to let go of it, because when we first

489
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: were filming, I was like, I mean, how do you

490
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: even be yourself because you want to have conversations with

491
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: your friends. But like that is a weird thing because

492
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: then it's like the world is watching, or your mom

493
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: or your grandma. I mean that she doesn't watch anymore.

494
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: I think I really watched episode once. You didn't even

495
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: see that any of the stuff. She's like, I don't

496
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: know if I like your show, And I was like,

497
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: that's okay, watch it's not for everybody, totally, not for everybody.

498
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: Mama but it is. But it's like you still, at

499
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you have to be yourself

500
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: and it's not a position many people are in where

501
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: well for you too, it's not a sition most moms

502
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: are in to watch. I wish I had a dollar

503
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: for every person that asked me, so is the Canadian

504
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: still room? Oh my god, me too. I would bet

505
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: a millionaire. No, he's not. We'll answer it here. I mean,

506
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: that's that was a big question, but it is. It's

507
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: a very because I love to read books about people's lives,

508
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, and um, I love to watch shows where

509
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: people are being interviewed, so like, but it's a very

510
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: interesting phenomena, the whole reality TV thing, how people are

511
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: really invested in total and um, I mean it is

512
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: kind of interesting how you have to let people into

513
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: your wives like that. Well that's been like that. I mean,

514
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: I would say, we're filming season two right now, and

515
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: I think I've had to really go, Okay, am I

516
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna do this or not? Because I think season one,

517
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, I just my storyline was a smaller one

518
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: of that season, and it just covered the small story

519
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: of the Canadian basically, and that's like a tiny portion

520
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: of my life. So this season I've really kind of

521
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: just had to dive in and say, like, Okay, if

522
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, like I have to let

523
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: people get to know me and know more of my story,

524
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: like where I came from. We're talking about like my

525
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: past with dating a lot, like why I'm single, all

526
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: of these things and so um. But then also like

527
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: the work aspect and you do, you just have to

528
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: let people in and it's so weird. It's really fun.

529
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: I think people really enjoy getting to see friendships because right,

530
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, as women, we have those friends

531
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: that just make us belly laugh totally. And it seems

532
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: like you and Kristen have that relationship and so that's

533
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: fun because it reminds us of our friendships, the fund

534
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: that we have with our friends. So did you feel

535
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: like watching where you like that's Kelly being herself or absolutely?

536
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean it reminded me of you and Caitlin when

537
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: whenever you were upstairs at our house in Houston and

538
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: we'd hear you laugh my childhood best went right, we

539
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: would say, it's just gotta be talking to Kitlin because

540
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: y'all would laugh like that. So, um, you know that's

541
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: just part of of that kind of friendship. And I

542
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: mean it was the same laugh, So yeah, I would,

543
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: I would. I mean, you can't fake that kind of No.

544
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: It's so funny how different people bring out different sides

545
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: of you. Like Chris and I can look at each

546
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: other and start dying laughing because we figured out like

547
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: what the other person might be thinking, you know, and

548
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: we bring that side out of each other. Like every

549
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: time we're together, we're just dying laughing. So all the

550
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: inside jokes, right, I mean, I mean I think that's

551
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: what makes reality shows relatable is when people have those

552
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: those true genuine relationships. So yes, I did feel like

553
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: you were being yourself. Well that's all I can ask

554
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: for then being myself that's the best goal, Right. Is

555
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: there anything else you want to say about me? Mom?

556
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: I could go on to I did want to kind

557
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: of we kind of talked about what you did for

558
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: a living, but um we I think I sort of

559
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: don't dev into the questions for my friends. But we

560
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: went and had drinks with some of your friends and

561
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: and I guess they're what do you call them? Employees

562
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 1: of yours colleagues? Well, some of them are work I

563
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: think there were a couple of people that from my office,

564
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: and then there there was one teacher who's just a

565
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: huge fan of the show, so she came. UM. And

566
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: then I had a person who used to work for

567
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: me but our friendship has has continued now that she's

568
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: a principal also, and then a friend I met from her.

569
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: So it was a nice mix, which is kind of

570
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: what I have. I have friends from This is weird.

571
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm sixty one, but I have friends from in their

572
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: twenties to their eighties, you know, because I just feel

573
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: like there's such a richness of of life. So yeah,

574
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: we had a good mix. I think one the youngest

575
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: was probably her, she was like and then um, some

576
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: in their forties, and that was a cool It was

577
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: a cool serience for me because obviously I know you

578
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: as my mom and I see you, you know, with

579
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: like our family. I've seen you with friends before, but

580
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: that was the most I've ever seen you interact like

581
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: in kind of a mentoring position, like I found, you know,

582
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: like a couple of your friends were talking about stuff

583
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: you've given them advice about. They told me about what

584
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: you do and they're having a bad day. We should

585
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: probably make a video. No, I can't, right, I'll do it.

586
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: And she has a little ritual when she when teachers

587
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: are having a bad day, she pulls them in they

588
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: do this like home thing and then flip the birds.

589
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: So it is so relieving, like very So they all

590
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: had these like these things they told the stories they

591
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: told me about you and how you'd help them get

592
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: through something or advice you'd given and just kind of

593
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: like mentored like and I think that was a cool

594
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: thing for me, an experience, Like did you ever think

595
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: of yourself as be in that position? No, but I

596
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: do think that, like we go through a lot of

597
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: stuff in life. You know, it would be wasted if

598
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: we didn't share our you know, straighte hope and experience

599
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: that we gain from those things. And so um, you know,

600
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: I get I get to go to work every day

601
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: and I get to impact you know, over a thousand

602
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: kids and their families by setting up an environment. That's good.

603
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: But when you work with a lot of women, you know,

604
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: and in my job, it's women, their single moms, they're

605
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: going through divorces. They um, some of them are like

606
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: me on the other side where they're caring for their

607
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: parents because their parents have gotten older, and so being

608
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: able to sit down with people or you know, and

609
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: and let them know that I have an open door

610
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: for them to come and literally my door is open

611
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: most of the day literally, but if it's closed, they

612
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: can still come in. And um, you know, I have

613
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: a secretary. I call her a velvet covered brick because

614
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: her number one strength is empathy also and so she

615
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: takes care of their needs or says, well, you know,

616
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: I know Ron is gonna want to talk to you

617
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: about that. And so it's been It adds richness to

618
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: my life because I feel like when we give back,

619
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: we get from that as much as we give. And so,

620
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, the last couple of years, I've had a

621
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: lot of women going through trouble with their kids or

622
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: divorces and just kind of helping walk them through that,

623
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: walk them through, um, you know, their feelings so that

624
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: they can go on with their day. It's important how

625
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: and so you develop friendships close to people, but how

626
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: do you separate? Because this is something I'm having to

627
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: learn about now that I have people working with me

628
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: for Velvet's Edge and stuff, like, you know, they've become

629
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: my friends, and like, how do you separate? Business and

630
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: the friendly like that. I think for me is you

631
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: know when people people have to know that you care

632
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: about them before they're gonna work well, you know, so,

633
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not super empathetic, like I said, I

634
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: don't want to get in there and roll around with

635
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: you on that. And that's the difference in in the

636
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: empathy thing. I think people who are empathetic sometimes have

637
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: a hard time separating how the other person is experiencing

638
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 1: something from their role with me or I was telling

639
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: me their story and I'm gonna cry with them, like

640
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: and I can listen to them and talk with them

641
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: about it and you know, say that most hard or

642
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: that feels bad and not actually feel those feelings like

643
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: you do. So I think that's kind of different. But

644
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: then you know, people know that I'm there for them

645
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: and I would do anything for anybody, like you said before,

646
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I I us I'm a strong woman.

647
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: People say that all the time. You know, I'm not

648
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: always strong, but I can help people get through things.

649
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: And so when you you develop a bond with people

650
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: when you're talking to them about their personal life, so

651
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: it just happens. Yes, you just have to have your

652
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: own boundaries about it. For me, it's always like if

653
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: the work's getting done, like that's I don't care, Like

654
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: let's be friends too, but it's like such a And

655
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: then like our friend Carly that was there the other night,

656
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: like we just laugh a lot. She's just funny. So

657
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: we have a lot of fun. So um, you know,

658
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: it's just fun to develop them, to develop those relationships,

659
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: and you know, I wish I could do it more.

660
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, my job is a lot of paperwork and

661
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm busy a lot, so I don't get out into

662
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: the building as much as I want to all that.

663
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: I would rather just I'm kind of like you on

664
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: the social butterfly. I would rather just stay out there

665
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: all the time. Makes a mingling. Yeah, Um, what would

666
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: you say, like what's your biggest because I mean you've

667
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: talked about like how how many more years do you

668
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: have until you reach a certain well, you know, is

669
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: the year I could retire? Could? Yeah? I mean like

670
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: those those are things you're thinking about now, is like

671
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: how much longer will you do this? And all that stuff?

672
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: So like what would you say has been your biggest

673
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: takeaway from like either your position now or like what's

674
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: something what's the main thing you feel like you've learned.

675
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: There's probably a ton. I think we're always growing, you know,

676
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: Like I I get really upset when people have a

677
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: total fixed mindset and say, well, that's just the way

678
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: they are, they can't change, because I totally believe that

679
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: we're totally evolving our whole entire life. And so you know,

680
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: in twenty years you may look back at this reality

681
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: show and go, wow, what was going to do that bit? Um,

682
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: And you'll realize that you were a different person. I mean,

683
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: because I look back and I just that's the takeaway.

684
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: Is this too shall pass? I guess, or this go

685
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: through this stage and then you go to a deeper

686
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: and richer stage. It's a journey, and I mean we're

687
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: learning and hopefully becoming wiser. Um. I've used to work

688
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: for a lady who would say, you know, if you're

689
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: beautiful at eighteen, that's just totally you know, what nature

690
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: gave you or whatever. But if you're beautiful at sixty,

691
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: because you start losing that outward view, you know, it's

692
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: because of the work that you've done, you know, with

693
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: God or whatever you call your higher power. Um, you know,

694
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: the work that you've done to get there, and so

695
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, you're just constantly evolving and you know, hopefully

696
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: taking care of yourself so that you can live a

697
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: rich life. Because I planned to live until a hundred

698
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: and five. I don't know how that can work out,

699
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: but that's what I like that goal for you. We've

700
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: been working on that financial plan for a while. So

701
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: the guy I keep saying, if you live till ninety five,

702
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: you'll have this and this and you'll be able to live. Um,

703
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: leave this much to your kids rights, Like, we're not

704
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: planning on leaving anything to them, So like how much

705
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: locker can't we live? So like you know, I'm planning

706
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: on it. Okay, like that if you like, as a mother,

707
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: what is something because these are things for me like

708
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: for the future that what is something that you look back?

709
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: Did you even go, oh, I wish I would have

710
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: done that differently? Um, I think you know, as we parent,

711
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: we kind of parent from the perspective or the lenses

712
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: that we see the world through. And UM, I have

713
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: this friend Carrie Uberek and who I just really have

714
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching her parent her four kids because she lets

715
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: them all be the little people that they are. And

716
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: I feel like I was. I'm such an achiever and

717
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: I was always on such a schedule that sometimes I

718
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: might have been posed that thinking on you guys, like

719
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: you need to get this homework done. This comes before

720
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: this said, I wish I would have just sat sometimes

721
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: and listened more. And um, you know, I feel like

722
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: I did a good job of playing games and all

723
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff that I don't know that I

724
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: was fully present all the time because you're thinking, my mind,

725
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: that's the way my mind thinks. I was clicking off. Okay,

726
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: so once I finished this game, I need to get

727
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: this next. So it was more like I scheduled those

728
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: things and instead of just sitting in and enjoying them. So,

729
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I think that that that's kind of

730
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: what I would change. One time you said to me, Um,

731
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: sometimes I where I made you too independent. What do

732
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: you mean by that? Well, I mean I think that

733
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: as moms, we always want to to bring our kids

734
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: up to be independent. And I think we think in

735
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: our society more of boys as being more independent and

736
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: going out and doing their own things. Um, but then

737
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: with girls, you kind of do things to make them

738
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: know that they can be self assured and that they

739
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: can take care of their own lives and that they

740
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to be married to take you know,

741
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: so like that you can be a businesswoman, that you

742
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: don't have to have a man to be successful, all

743
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: of that, you know, I think I might have overdone

744
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: it on that. I don't know if you Well, I'm

745
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: not married, so we know that, but I've been in

746
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: long term relationships. I think I'm to the point now

747
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: where it's like, why would I settle for something that's

748
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: not exactly what I want for my life? Or or

749
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: I will say, I've never operated from a place of

750
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: a man is going to make my life complete or

751
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: give me all the things I want, Like I always

752
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: knew I needed to go out and get the things

753
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: I want, which I think is a good because you

754
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: don't have to rely on someone else for your own happiness. There's,

755
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: you know, any relationships kind of enter saying because the

756
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: other person needs to be themselves and have their own goals.

757
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, that's different from when

758
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: my mom grew up so to speak. I mean they

759
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: just did whatever was expected of them. I mean I

760
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: remember growing up and I was really you know, math

761
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: was my strong thing. I was going to be an accountant,

762
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: and my dad was like, you really need to be

763
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: a teacher so that you have the summers off, and

764
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. You know, I went into education,

765
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: and I mean I've loved it. I really feel like I,

766
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, have benefited from that job as a person,

767
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: but I you know, I did it because of that

768
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: kind of thinking and to be able to help the family.

769
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: And um, so you know, I think that we have

770
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: to realize that we're independent people in order to have

771
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: a healthy relationship and be independent. It is so different

772
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: than because even that my mentality, Like I mean, we've

773
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: talked a lot about you know, I do want a

774
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: family too, and it's it's a lot of pressure right

775
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: now because I'm getting to a certain age where obviously

776
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: you start to go, wait, can that still happen? And

777
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: like it just outlooks look really different, but the time

778
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: is different now. Like I don't feel I never felt

779
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: like I was raised with the mentality of I need

780
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: to have a certain career so that I can to

781
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: have a kid later or you know, have a cousin.

782
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: Like it was more about creating the life I want

783
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: and then hopefully finding a partner to build life with.

784
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily think that you can do it all.

785
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't necessarily think that I am the same.

786
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: I did parenting the same way as those moms that

787
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: stayed at home, but then they didn't do parenting the

788
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: same way that I did either, So there, you know,

789
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: like there's not a right or wrong way different, it's

790
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: just different, you know. And I don't think that we

791
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: do anything perfectly in life, you know, And but it's just,

792
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: you know, we do have a lot of opportunities now

793
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: that women didn't have back then. Didn't Yeah, they were,

794
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: the expectations are different. We're both reading or you're reading them.

795
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama book Becoming, and I listened to her podcast

796
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: and she says, two women, Um, it is a lie

797
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: that you can have it all or something about like

798
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: you can't. You can have it all, just not at

799
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: the same time, which I think is probably true. Like

800
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: I can't imagine if I had a kid right now,

801
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean they would be so I would change, obviously,

802
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: but I work all the time. Dad would have to

803
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: move to now actually love that, but yeah, I mean

804
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: you would. I guess you figure it out. If that's

805
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: the situation you're in. But I see what she means

806
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: in that. Right now, I'm building my empire is what

807
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: I like to say, my little empire, and it's my

808
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: main focus and I don't know, it doesn't leave a

809
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: lot of time for relationship or kids. Again, I'm gonna

810
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: type of person if those things came into my life,

811
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: I would shift and they would become my priority because

812
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: relationships are important to me. But well, that's what I

813
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: was gonna say. You have relationships tons, yeah, friends, Yeah,

814
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: you have really good ones. And just so anyway, um

815
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: so January, if for Elvis edge is going, I'm gonna

816
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: put the focus on self care. Just I feel like

817
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: like holidays are such a time of over consumerism and

818
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: just gifts and all of those things. And um, I

819
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: like to start the year thinking about like setting my

820
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: intentions and how I'm going to take care of myself

821
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: this year and be my best self. What are ways

822
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: that you've learned over the years because you have been

823
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: so busy, like you said, and like the balancing act,

824
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: how have you taken care of yourself well or learned

825
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: ways I started each year? And I'm trying to decide

826
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: because new Year's Day is Tuesday, and I try to check.

827
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: I choose one word that I focus on. Like my

828
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: word this last year was people, So like that's what

829
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: my focus was was people. So a lot of the

830
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: things that I would normally do I set aside and

831
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: I would focus on people, which I think is what

832
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: you saw that night when we went to meet my friends,

833
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: is that I do have some really rich relationships. And

834
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: I think that that was because I said that. This year,

835
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to decide between the words balance and energy,

836
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna go with energy because I'm

837
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna try to have positive energy in my life and

838
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 1: surround myself with positive energy and get the negative energy

839
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: out of my life. So that's to me that choosing

840
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: that one word that just kind of helps me focus

841
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: for the year is a huge self care. Um. The

842
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: other thing is, of course I work out. I'm a fanatic,

843
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I work out. I do something

844
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: six out of seven days, um, you know a week. Um,

845
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: And usually on the day that I don't work out,

846
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: I stretched. So working out and staying physically fit and

847
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: in I read. I always have a few books going.

848
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: I usually have a professional book, a nonfiction book and

849
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: a fiction book going at the same time, just depending

850
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: on what my mood is. How is that self care

851
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: went for you? I think for me, it's relaxing and

852
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: just stopping for a few minutes to focus on something

853
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: other than task or you know. You know, like this

854
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: morning I was because I've been helping your grandma, you know,

855
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: this weekend with with stuff, I really had a hard

856
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: time sitting here and just focusing. So that kind of

857
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: helps my mind relaxed, just to read. UM. And so

858
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: I usually have three different kinds of books going because

859
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: my mood. Sometimes if I can't like settle down enough

860
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,959
Speaker 1: to read a fiction book, I will pick up a

861
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: professional book. At least I feel like I'm here a

862
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: little bit a little workaholism I'm hearing there. But you

863
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: know that at least I'm doing you know, I'm aware

864
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: of it. UM. And then I do UM. I believe,

865
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, and taking care of ourselves emotionally and spiritually.

866
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: So I have my you know, I'm not a religious personally,

867
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: but I am very spiritual, and so I do have

868
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: a relationship with God that I concentrate on in the mornings.

869
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: I stopped before I start my day and read um

870
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 1: spiritual stuff. I do some meditation time in the morning,

871
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: and then at night I've started doing this really great meditation.

872
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: I kind of just made up myself, um after hearing

873
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: you you and Frank talk about chakras that I did

874
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: a little research on chakras and I just laid down

875
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: at night and as I do my meditation, I kind

876
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: of asked myself questions. I go, you know, through all

877
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: the chakras and ask myself questions. And I feeling secure

878
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: about my you know, job, my house, my finances, all

879
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: of that, and I did I do something pleasurable today?

880
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: Is there's something I need to let go off? How

881
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: did I show love today? Did I use my voice appropriately?

882
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: Because that can be a little sharp tongued sometimes, and honestly,

883
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, and then you know, what is my intuition

884
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: telling me? And what is it that I need to

885
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: just reach out and hand over, you know, like so

886
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of like getting back in touch with yourself. Yeah,

887
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: kind of at the end of the day. So that's

888
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: a huge new part of my self care routine. And

889
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: then I eat really I try to eat really well. Yeah,

890
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: fuel your body. I think that's a really good at

891
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: the ending your day that way the chakras thing, because

892
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 1: we I know, for me, at least, I'm moving at

893
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, eight hundred miles a minute. It feels like

894
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: all the time, and you don't really sometimes stop and

895
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: say like check in with myself at least like what

896
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: you're saying and and really like go what do I

897
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: need right now? Or what is going on me? And

898
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times we're just acting without thinking, which

899
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: can be dangerous and not only like what did I

900
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: not do well today? But what did I do well?

901
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: Because we focus on you know, in Texas, we have

902
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: those state mandated tests and when teachers get those back.

903
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: I'm at a very high performing school. I mean we

904
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: get kids that are from all over the world, their

905
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: parents are professionals, they're super smart. So we um, you know,

906
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: our test scores are really good, but they always focus

907
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: on the negative, like the one that they missed something,

908
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: and so like it's like look for what we did right,

909
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: and so we need to do that with ourselves, like

910
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: how did how did I use my voice correctly today?

911
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing? Yeah, what did I

912
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: do well? Letting go up? Yeah that's good. It's the

913
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: first thing I do. Every time I do a job,

914
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: I always talk about how hard it is for me

915
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: to post work pictures because the first thing I do

916
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,160
