00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: for the first time just a couple of days ago

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: on something actually was on my in my workout journal

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: and I wrote down one slash three slash twenty three,

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my god, no, it is

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: twenty four. Saw this thing that was like, uh, congratulations,

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: you are still mourning twenty nineteen and it is now

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: five years later, and I was like, Jesus, that is

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: so scary. Anyways, though, it is the new year and

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: I could not be any more excited for this year.

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: I think it is going to be a great year.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: I will say twenty twenty three had a lot of

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: good in it. Twenty twenty three had a lot of

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: bad in it, a lot of heart in it. I

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: feel like everyone can kind of like agree with them

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: themselves on like look looking back at twenty twenty three,

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: I feel like for me and at least for all

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: my people around me, it was a very ugh. This

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: feels like weird to say, but like educational year, Like

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: I feel like I learned a lot about myself, feel

25
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: like all my friends learned a lot about themselves. I

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: feel like I learned a lot about the world. I mean,

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: maybe that's just because I turned twenty in twenty twenty three,

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: and I feel like you just learn a lot when

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: you turn twenty. But I want to start off this

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: podcast with a little bit of a twenty twenty three

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: highs and lows moment. I had so many freaking highs

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. I was writing them down today

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: to be able to talk about them on the podcast,

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my god, I actually don't

35
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: even like, I don't think I can remember them all.

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: I tried to go through every month try to be like,

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: what were my moments, And first one that I want

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: to talk about is pretty obvious, and that is of

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: Special Forces. I had the best time in New Zealand.

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: But again back to that educational thing, it really did

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: change me. It changed the way I think about life.

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: It changed my perspective on friends, on family, on myself,

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: on work, on personal life, on everything. And so being

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: able to kind of now apply that to the rest

46
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: of my life. Hopefully I got a long long time left.

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I hope I'm not done anytime soon here

48
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: on earth. But it's cool that I got to learn

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: those lessons at such a young age, and Special Forces

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: is definitely one of the things I'm most grateful for

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, and that actually leads me into

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: my second high, and that is all the incredible people

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: that came into my life in twenty twenty three. I

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: met so many of my closest friends in twenty twenty three,

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: which is crazy because I feel like, you know, for me,

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: like I've kind of met friends throughout my life that

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: I got into some really fun hyperfixations in twenty twenty three. Uh.

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 2: I wanted to become a barista in twenty twenty three,

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: so I built a coffee bar. I thought I was

74

Speaker 2: gonna go into the World Cup in twenty twenty three,

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: so I went through two weeks where I was determined

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: to become a professional soccer player. Did not stick with it.

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: I went through a rock climbing phase. I went through

78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: a really intense tap dancing phase. I still tap dance,

79
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: but I went through like a like I go every

80
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: single day phase. I went through a workout classes at

81
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: a gym. Phase. I went through. This is actually one

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: that I've been going through since I was like fourteen,

83
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: and that's indoor skydiving. And this year twenty twenty three,

84
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: so I guess last year twenty twenty three, I got

85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: really back into indoor skydiving because for my twentieth birthday,

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: we actually went on an Alaskan cruise, which was so fun,

87
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: and I gosh, I love Royal Caribbean so much. I'm

88
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: actually just about to go on Icon of the Seas,

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: their new ship. I'm going on the inaugural sailing of it,

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: which I am so stoked about. I was gonna be crazy,

91
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 2: the best six days ever. But I went on another

92
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: one of my Caribbean ships, Quantum of the Seas, for

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: my twentieth birthday and for my brother's twenty third birthday.

94
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: And on that ship actually have indoor skydiving, so it

95
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: was the first time that I had done it in

96
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: a really long time, and I did it a lot.

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: And that's actually where I met one of my best

98
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: friends this year. She was an instructor and we just

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: we grew super super close and it's been amazing. And

100
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: we figured out that we had some like ties to

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: each other before we even met, which is crazy. It's

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: such a small world. Uh. And then yeah, I really

103
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: really stuck with it this year and now it's become

104
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: like a part of my family. I won't kind of

105
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: I won't talk about why just yet because I don't

106
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: know if that's something that how it relates who it

107
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: relates to would actually want me to talk about. But

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: now it's like become a part of my family. Indorse, skydiving,

109
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: which has been so fun and so awesome. God, I

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: can't ever get enough of it. The last hyperfixation that

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: I am so happy about is drums. So towards the

112
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: end of twenty twenty three, I got to perform with

113
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: the artist G Flip, who is so amazing. They're an

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: Australian artist who is just so phenomenal. I can't even

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: say enough amazing things about G anyway, so thank god

116
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: I did, because watching G perform that night, I literally

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I G is an incredible drummer.

118
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: That is their thing. Kind of how people will sing

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: and dance or sing and play guitar or singing play piano,

120
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: which they also do, they sing and drum and I

121
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, I want to learn how

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: to drum. Like I was so inspired after that night.

123
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: G is just such an incredible person, Like it was

124
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: just the best freaking night in my life. I was like, yes,

125
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: made the right choice. It's very happy that I left Florida.

126
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: I miss Tyler, my brother, of course, but so happy anyway,

127
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: So I left the concert and I was like, yo,

128
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: I am gonna get a drum kit. I'm gonna drum.

129
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna teach myself. This is gonna be great. And

130
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: two days after g Textan was like, dude, if you

131
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: ever wanted to learn how to drum, I would teach you.

132
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: And I was like, Oh, you don't even know that,

133
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. So then Gee's been helping me.

134
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: I got a drum kit, got one at the house

135
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: and one at my studio. I have been playing now

136
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: for about three months, and I just love it. She

137
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: is a phenomenal teacher. It's been so fun. I can't

138
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: I really can't get enough of it. It's been great,

139
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: all right. I feel like that though those were pretty

140
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: much my highs. I mean, we got to go to Hawaii,

141
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: which was sick. I moved actually into my brother's room,

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: which was sick. That kind of leads me into one

143
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: of my low lights. The reason why I moved into

144
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: my brother's room. So our house is structured so there's

145
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: like three rooms on the right side, and then one

146
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: room on the on the left side, right, and so

147
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: on the right side, and this room actually that I

148
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: filmed the podcast and was my old bedroom. And I

149
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: decided that because my brother was moving out and he

150
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: moved to an apartment a while ago, so he hasn't

151
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: been at home for a minute, but still in California.

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: But then this year he decided in twenty twenty three

153
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 2: that he was going to move to Orlando, and that

154
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: that was something that honestly, I was this, Okay, you

155
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: gotta stick with me here, you gotta stick with me here.

156
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: I was stoked about not because my brother was leaving,

157
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: but because he was going to live his life and

158
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: go do what he's wanted to do. I feel like

159
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: my life and my career. Some people look at it

160
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: and see like, oh wow, that really takes over the

161
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: whole family. And the thing is is it has, and

162
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: there has been cases where it has, and there has

163
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: been cases, of course where it hasn't. But I've always

164
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: looked at my brother and questioned, like, what is what

165
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: is who is he? What does he do? What does

166
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: he want to be? Where's he going to go? And

167
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: he's older than me, but I still, you know, I

168
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: still look at him and I think like, what is

169
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: what is his life? You know what I mean? And

170
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: so this year when he decided to move down to Orlando.

171
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: I was so proud of him because I was like,

172
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: you freaking go. You go live your life, you go

173
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: do your thing. Him and his girlfriend Abbey live down there.

174
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: Now there arriving, they're so happy and so yeah, they're

175
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: they're living their best life down there. I love going

176
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: down there. I love actually staying at their apartment. I

177
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: called their apartment the Ritz Carleton because it is the

178
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: not the Ritz Carlton at all, but I love calling

179
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: it that, and I love staying there with their dog.

180
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: It's freaking great. But now that I know he was

181
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: never coming home again, I was like, well, I'll screw that.

182
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: He has the nicer room in the house, so I'm

183
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: moving to his room. So I moved over to the room,

184
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: and uh, yeah, it's been It's been freaking great. Uh.

185
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: The other the other low light actually is is was

186
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: a really devastating part of the year. In the beginning

187
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: of the year, we got a sweet little puppy. His

188
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: name was Toowey. He was the best dog ever. Oh

189
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: my god, he was crazy. He uh used to put

190
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: one arm up and scream all the time and then

191
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: walk on it like he was fine. And and then

192
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: just walk like you see he was. He would just

193
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: sit there and then just like fall over like he was.

194
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: He was the most personality crazy dog ever. Uh and unfortunate,

195
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: on April twenty eighth, about a couple couple months maybe

196
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: a month two months after we got him, he unfortunately

197
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: was attacked by coyote and the coyote came in our yard,

198
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: scooped him up and ran off. My my dad was

199
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: outside with them, same morning routine too. He was out

200
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: playing with the other dogs. My dad was five ten

201
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: feet away from him. Like we know to watch for coyotes.

202
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: It's a very big thing in our yard. We've had

203
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: a coyote attack before that a dog has survived, and

204
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: so it was you know, we were aware of it,

205
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: and so yeah, it happened and we were all just devastated.

206
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: And then a couple months later we got new puppy.

207
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 2: His name is Clyde. We call him Baby Clyde. And

208
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: I was looking at Clyde. Something came over me and

209
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I wonder when Clyde's birthday is. And

210
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: no matter what you believe in, this is still a

211
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: freaky coincidence, whether you believe in reincarnation or not. I

212
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: don't know if I do or not, but it's still

213
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: just a freaky coincidence. I was like, I wonder what

214
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: his birthday is. I'm I never looked to see what

215
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: a dog's birthday is said, but I was like, I

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: want to know what when Clyde' is. It just came

217
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: over me anyway, So I go and I pull out

218
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: his birth certificate and he was born on April twenty ninth.

219
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: So two, he passed away on April twenty eighth, and

220
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: Clyde was born on the twenty ninth. Isn't that like,

221
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: that's like there's some it's weird, it's freaky, but we

222
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: missed Towey Boy every day. But we are very very

223
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: grateful for Clyde, and we love all of our puppies.

224
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: I feel like twenty twenty three for me was a

225
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: pretty transitional year. Last year, New Year's Eve, we were

226
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: we were on a cruise and I remember I was

227
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: entering twenty twenty three and I was like, I have

228
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: one rule for myself, only one. No dating. I had

229
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: just gotten out of a whack. That's that's not fair

230
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: to call it that I had just gotten out of

231
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: a whack relationship and I had a lot of things

232
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: happen to me, and I had a lot that I

233
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: couldn't talk about pop happened. And there's still a lot

234
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: that I can't talk about publicly that happened. But I

235
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: did learn like, look, all right, no more public relationships.

236
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: That is the lesson that I haven't learned. But I

237
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: was like, all right, no dating in twenty twenty three,

238
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 2: and Miss Mother Nature held me to it. There was

239
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: a few times where I got close few people that

240
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: I wanted really bad, but Miss Mother Nature was like

241
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: absolutely not. Somehow she she swiped every every possible relationship

242
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: away from me in twenty twenty three, which honestly was

243
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: the best thing for me. At the end of the year,

244
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: I got to do this massive project that I have

245
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: been waiting about. I mean I've had the plan for

246
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: it for two years, like the set and Stone plan,

247
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: but I mean it's been in my head for six

248
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: or seven years now, and so finally got to do

249
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: this massive project. And if I would have been in

250
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: a relationship, I wouldn't have been able to do the

251
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: project the way that I wanted to in the way

252
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: that I did, so like Miss Mother Nature and away

253
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: had my back, but yeah, home girl was not letting

254
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: me date. However, twenty twenty four is the year for me.

255
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: Sign me up for the freaking bachelorette like count me

256
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: in Dog, twenty twenty four is the year of dating. Also,

257
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: something else that I wanted to do in twenty twenty

258
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: four is travel by myself a lot more. I traveled

259
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: by myself for the first time ever in twenty twenty three,

260
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: and it was freaking awesome. I went to Ohio for

261
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: the first time. That was where I went for twenty

262
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: four hours by myself on a word trip. But it

263
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. And then I flew to

264
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: New Zealand for Special Forces with my two best friends,

265
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: so I wasn't alone, but I wasn't like it wasn't

266
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 2: like I was with my parents, you know what I mean.

267
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: And then flew to Hawaii by myself, I flowed, flew

268
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: to Florida bunch by myself. I've kind of been all

269
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: over by myself now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I

270
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: always loved my solitude time, and I think it's I

271
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: think it's a good thing, you know what I mean,

272
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: Something that happens over New Year's that I feel like

273
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: literally all seven billion of us in the world think

274
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 2: about is New Year's resolutions. And I think New Year's

275
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: resolutions are awesome, but I think sometimes they become unrealistic

276
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: and people think that you're going to make a lifestyle

277
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: change on the first of the year, and truthfully, best

278
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: thing you probably do is make it the last day

279
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: of the last year, you know what I mean. It

280
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: is that way, Like you there's not as that is

281
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: not as much fresh as I started mine on the

282
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: December thirty first, and it was so great. I'm still

283
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: sticking with them. It's been amazing. But I think New

284
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: Year's resolutions, honestly, for me this year, I feel like

285
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: over the time I've developed some pretty solid habits and

286
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm really happy with my keeping my room clean, my

287
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: eating habits, which has been a learning curve and I'm

288
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about that eventually on this podcast,

289
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's I've really developed some cool workout habits

290
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: and cool eating habits, some cool sleeping habits, and I

291
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: feel like there's now like I don't need to change

292
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: anything or or make a massive change on you know,

293
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: January first, but I just want to keep sticking to

294
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: the plant now what I do need to do is

295
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: stop biting my nails. That look I thought when I

296
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: left Dance Moms, Maddie told me she because when I

297
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: left Dance Moms, I text about it and I was like,

298
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: guess what I left. And she was like, oh, get ready,

299
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: you stop biting your nails immediately. And I was like, actually,

300
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: for real and she was like, yeah, mine are literally

301
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: perfect now because I left the show, and I was like, sick,

302
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: here I am eight years later, still biting every day

303
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: of my life. So that did not work out for me.

304
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: But that's okay, that's all right, We're gonna, We're gonna

305
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: it's it's fine, it's fine. Twenty twenty four for me,

306
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a pretty epic year personally

307
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: and professionally. I twenty twenty four is there's a lot

308
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: in store. There's I mean, the most massive project of

309
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: my career for sure is happening in twenty twenty four.

310
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: And it's scary, and it's a shift and it's a change,

311
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: and it is a goddamn leap of faith. And I

312
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: think because it's something though that I'm so passionate about,

313
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm not scared of it. And I also think, thanks

314
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: to Special Forces in twenty twenty three, I'm not really

315
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: scared of much anymore, which is it's not a bad thing.

316
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: I think it's good to have healthy fear, but I

317
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: think sometimes fear can hold you back from doing something

318
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: that you could really end up loving, you know what

319
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: I mean. And so I think I'm really excited for

320
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: this new career journey that I'm gonna embark gone in

321
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. It is scary, but I'm not scared.

322
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? I feel like that makes sense.

323
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: I mean, look, what goes around comes around, and I

324
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: think it's I think it's gonna be good or it

325
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: could be bad. You never know. Karma always chooses her

326
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: own way. You never know how she's gonna go. Oh okay.

327
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: I talked a little bit about traveling alone and twenty

328
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: twenty four. So far, I have a couple of travel plans.

329
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about this because I think it

330
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: would be so fun, and especially because I don't even

331
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: really know where we all went. I have to find

332
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: out from the DS and stuff. But twenty twenty three,

333
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: when I did Special Forces, that was in Queenstown, New Zealand, However,

334
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: we went all over New Zealand. They would stick us

335
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,479
Speaker 2: in a car and drive us for three hours and

336
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: we never knew where we were going out long we

337
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: were going to be in the car, like, we never

338
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: knew anything, right, And something though that I want to

339
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: do in twenty twenty four is I actually want to

340
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: go to New Zealand again with my family and take

341
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: them to the damn wall so they can like actually

342
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: visualize it and see, like, whoa, that's like where they were,

343
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: That's how tall it was. Take them to where the

344
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: trenasium was set up, take them to all of the things,

345
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: Take them to where the ice bath was, take them

346
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: to where the hikes happened, take them to where our

347
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: base was. Oh my gosh. So how the boat challenge

348
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: was like really even for myself, like go back, Go

349
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: stay at the hotel we stayed at before we actually

350
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: went to forces the mill Burk. It was awesome, great,

351
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: it was a freaking resort. It was amazing. Then we

352
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: went to the freaking middle of nowhere, slept on a

353
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: sheet and called it a day. But I think that'd

354
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: be so fun. And then we also have a plan

355
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: to go, Like I was saying, earlier icon on the seas.

356
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: That's happening at the end of this month, end of January,

357
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: and I am so excited. Oh. I always meet the

358
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: best people on cruises. I always have the best time

359
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: on cruises, and I I could not be any more

360
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: stoked about it. Something that I do think is really

361
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: to really focus on as I'm getting older is taking

362
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: care of yourself, whether that's you know, some girlies do

363
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: their self care, facial routine and nighttime routine. Me personally,

364
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: I use baby face wash and baby lotion and that

365
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: is it because baby wash on my whole body, baby

366
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: lotion on my whole body. Call it a day Johnson

367
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: and Johnson Newborn howshig not sponsored, but that stuff life changing.

368
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: It's the only thing I put on my skin. It's great.

369
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 2: No routine, it's one time. This was maybe like I

370
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: think it was like three years ago. You know how

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: Vogue do that thing where it's like Datta da skincare routine,

372
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: get ready with dat da da, and it's like for Vogue,

373
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a pretty big deal, right Well,

374
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: Vogue asked me to do it, and I of course

375
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: said yes. You don't say no to Vogue. So they

376
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: come over to the house, they set up, they do

377
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: all this stuff. They're like, all right, uh, can you

Speaker 2: I use. And we went back and forth, and I like,

389
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: I was like I don't know I can with you.

390
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: I'll like go through my covers like whatever y'all want.

391
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: And they were super nice about it too, and I

392
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: was super nice about it too. It just was like, not,

393
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: this is not happening. So then we went through the house.

394
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: We tried to like rummage up some shit to like

395
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: put in this video to like make it look like Finally,

396
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: after like ten minutes looking for stuff pulling my brother's

397
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: girlfriend's skincare, I was like, this just isn't this just

398
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: isn't the vibe, is it. And everyone was like, yeah,

399
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: this just isn't the vibe. Like no hard feelings on

400
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: either end, but like it's just not the vibe. And

401
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, let's let's not do it.

402
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: So only project that I've ever like been on set

403
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: and been like that, this isn't This isn't. You agree?

404
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: I okay, I know it's just not. But back to

405
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 2: what I was saying, taking care of yourself, eating, working

406
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 2: out right, taking care of your body, getting outside, treating,

407
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: getting enough sleep. Oh my gosh, I cannot stress how

408
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: important sleep is. And I'm just learning that. And I

409
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm a very bad sleeper. I really am. I wake

410
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: up alive in the middle of the night. I don't

411
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: fall asleep easily. I do wake up easily because I'm like,

412
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: all right, let's go freaking time to shine. The day

413
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: before I did this big project in twenty twenty three though,

414
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: like the biggest project, the one that I've been like

415
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: talking about but not talking about, So the one if

416
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: you follow me on social media and I use a

417
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: a heart with the fire and the big wave emoji,

418
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 2: this is that same project anyways. And so the night

419
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: before that I fall asleep, and I don't fall asleep

420
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: till like three in the morning. I'm just staying awake.

421
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: I was practicing at home. I was just too stoked

422
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: having the best night right too stoked, couldn't fall asleep,

423
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: woke up at like my call time on set was

424
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: like seven am, and so I was up at like

425
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: four so I could get a workout in before I

426
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: was just I was too excited. Long story short, not

427
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: a good sleeper. So that is something though that I realized,

428
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 2: like does affect me. And I noticed when I get

429
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: a good night's sleep, how I wake up and how

430
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: I feel and how I how I fall asleep, and

431
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: it just it all depends when I don't sleep how

432
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: I feel. And so figured out what works for me

433
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: is actually comfort shows. If I put on a show

434
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: from my childhood, that will put me to sleep. Currently,

435
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm in a good Luck Charlie phase. I've gone through

436
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: a Zach and Cody phase, gone through a Wizards Waverley

437
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: Place phase, and now I'm in a good Electrinity phase

438
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: and it just freaking freaking gets the job done. In

439
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, I fell in love with dance again,

440
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: and that is something that I have found, my love for,

441
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: lost my love for found my love lost, my love

442
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: for found my love for lost my love for and I.

443
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: Since I was about seventeen, I've been in a phase

444
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: of like found my love for it again. But in

445
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, I this is this is oh, I

446
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: getting serious. This is one of the hardest things for

447
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: me to talk about because I can't legally to safety wise,

448
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: to protect myself. I went through a situation in the

449
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: beginning of twenty twenty three that actually affected my mental

450
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: health mental well being more than anything ever has. And

451
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: the only thing that got me through was dance. And

452
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: there was days where I texted my friends and said, hey,

453
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm going up to the studio because my friends and

454
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: I will do hang outside the studio. Will come up. Well,

455
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: we'll talk, we'll dance, we'll have food, we'll chill, we'll gossip, like,

456
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: we'll do whatever, like where everyone's pretty chill. But in

457
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year I was like I would

458
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 2: There would be days where I like, I need to dance.

459
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 2: Everyone's you're invited, please come, please hang out with me,

460
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: But like, I have to dance today. It's not like

461
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: a talk day. Because if I talk, I can't talk,

462
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: and that really got me through that. And I what's

463
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: crazy is that anytime I went through something that was

464
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: hard or something that was made me not okay, I

465
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: found myself wanting to go to Studio Siwa and wanting

466
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: to dance. And now Studio c has kind of become

467
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: that safe place for me and my closest friends. They

468
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: will text me and be like can we go to

469
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: the studios day? And I'll be like, I will meet

470
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: you there in an hour, like count me in. And

471
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: the amount of times that I have cried on the

472
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: Studio Sewa floor is actually insane. I went through heartbreak

473
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 2: without going through heartbreak this year because obviously no dating,

474
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: but I definitely got my heartbroken this year. And I,

475
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: when I tell you the what the walls have Studio

476
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: Sea have sayed is co crazy. It is actually insane,

477
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: but it's great and it's become my safe space. And

478
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: now that's why I'm out there all the time, just

479
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: to keep myself mentally happy. And I think that's something

480
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: that's so important that when you find that thing that

481
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: truly can keep you happy, embrace it, run with it,

482
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: and keep freaking going with it. Ah Man. You know,

483
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: I gotta admit, New Year's is one of my favorite holidays.

484
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: I really love like the end of the year and

485
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: the very beginning of the year holidays. End of the year,

486
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: we got Halloween, we got Thanksgiving, we got Christmas, and

487
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: then we got New Year's. That chunk of holidays for

488
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: me is like my freaking kryptonite. I think the reason

489
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: why I love New Year's is because I have a

490
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: lot of fun New Year's memories. I mean, you know

491
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: how you have those like super faint memories from when

492
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: you were a kid. This one, I did gymnastics when

493
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: I was little, And I have this one where we

494
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: were at this our gymnastics place with me and my

495
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 2: brother and it was like a big sleepover and you

496
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: stayed all night you did gymnastic and I mean, god,

497
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: I was probably four or five. Long story short, it

498
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: was a babysitter for the parents to go out and

499
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: go have a fun night and you stayed at the

500
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: gym with the coaches and it was great. And I'm

501
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: sure the gym that had to have been a cash

502
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: cow for the gym cash cow. So there you go,

503
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: dance teachers out there, if you're looking to make some

504
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: money gymnastics coaches. I be looking to make some money

505
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: freaking babysit on New Year's you will get bank that

506
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 2: was backed. I also remember the year that, like my

507
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: brother and I were old enough to be home alone,

508
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: and my my parents went out. We uh we we

509
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: banked pots and pans outside at midnight, and then we're like,

510
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: all right, good night this year for New Year's I'm

511
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: not even gonna sugar go what happened at all. I

512
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I'm gonna have a great night. You're

513
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 2: gonna stay up late. It's gonna be fun. Had steak

514
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: dinner with my dad. It was amazing. He cooked the

515
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: steak I decided. He had buffalo cauliflower, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli,

516
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: and flaming your on New York Strip and rabbi. It

517
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: was the best meal ever. Anyways, after that, I was like,

518
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna go work out, so I stay awake,

519

523
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: gonna make it even closer to midnights eleven fifty seven,

524
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 2: and I was like, I can't do it. I'm going

525
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: to bed, closed my eyes and I woke up and

526
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: it was the next day. I could not do it. No,

527
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: it was just I'm sired. I can't help. But my

528
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: mom called me and she was like, so, who'd you

529
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: bring in the New Year's with? And I was like,

530
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 2: literally no one. I fell asleep and she was like

531
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: I don't believe that for a second. And I was

532
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: like okay, and she was like, who are you talking

533
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: to and like cause she knew I was at home,

534
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: but she was like, but who are you talking to

535
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: him midnight? I was like, you can go through my

536
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: call history, Like I don't know what tell you. I

537
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: literally fell as I was like, I was determined to

538
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: make it. Couldn't even stay awake three minutes. But I

539
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: wasn't talking to anybody. I just was just was sleepy.

540
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: Speaking speaking of my mom, toughout this podcast up, I

541
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: actually have a funny story about her, so she my

542
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: mom helps me out behind the scenes of this podcast.

543
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 2: I have an incredible podcast team who kind of helps

544
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: me figure out what will be I guess interesting to

545
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: talk about because let's look at I'm sitting here talking

546
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: to myself for thirty minutes. I gotta have some sort

547
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: of structure, right. And then after we get that list,

548
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: my mom goes through that list and like checks it out,

549
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: kind of fills it in the gaps because she knows

550
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: me better than I even know myself, right, And so

551
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: she added this note to the end of my my

552
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: what I Want to talk about list? And I laughed

553
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: out loud because I was, like, Mom, this is so

554
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: obviously wrote by you, it is actually hysterical. She wrote,

555
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: You're really disciplined with your schedule and time. That is

556
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: clearly something you taught yourself. What made you like this?

557
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: Like mom, is that the advice that you want from me?

558
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: But it's so funny because my mom and I we

559
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: talk about all the time, and my dad and I,

560
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: actually my dad and I talk about this more than

561
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: my mom and I do. But how you know, parents,

562
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: you raise your kids, and kids you're raised by your parents,

563
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: and you have traits, You have beliefs, you have habits

564
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: that you are taught, you have habits that you don't

565
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: even know. You have things that you don't even know

566
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: are taught, but they just are. They're inherited. And then

567
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: you have like your stuff that you develop by yourself,

568
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and then you repeat the

569
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: pattern to your kids. And something that I did not

570
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: get for my parents at all is the way that

571
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: I schedule out my day and my life. I quite

572
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: literally schedule out every single day. I'll read you today's schedule.

573
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 2: So I make a note on my phone every night

574
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: before I fall asleep, I pick out my outfit or

575
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: outfits for the next day, depending and then I write

576
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: out my schedule. So last night at ten fifty two pm,

577
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: I wrote down seven to fifteen, wake up, seven thirty,

578
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: fat burner, finish up by eight eight fifteen, I eat breakfast.

579
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: I had down yogurt, but then this morning I wanted

580
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: to switch it to the alvocado and egg bagel, so

581
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: we swapped it out. Nine o'clock, work out, ten thirty

582
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: in the shower, at eleven o'clock, get ready, twelve o'clock,

583
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: eat lunch, twelve thirty podcasts after that in any particular order,

584
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: go through photos, go to the studio, drum, run your

585
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: old tour, XMG prep choreography, set up pastries for tomorrow.

586
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: So that's kind of how like I structure out my life,

587
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: and that is definitely not something that I've learned from

588
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: my family. My family is like a wake up at

589
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: your leisure, order breakfast when you're feeling it, wake up

590
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: when you're feeling it, maybe get ready, maybe done, get

591
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: some work done, has some lunch, get some more work done,

592
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: call it a night. I'm like, no, I set my alarm,

593
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: I wake up, I do this, I do that, I

594
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: eat this, I eat, then I go there, I travel there.

595
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: And there will be some days where like my day

596
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: is like specifically structured, Like tomorrow, I have rehearsals with

597
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: my girl group where I'm choreographing for their two that

598
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: they are going on in twenty twenty four. Gets your

599
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: tickets at live nation dot com. My girl group Xomgpop

600
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: we have our first tour choreography day, and it literally

601
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: my day will be structured out. To wake up, I'll

602
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: plan my wake up time, my workout time, my breakfast time.

603
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: Then I'll plan what time I go to the studio,

604
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: and then from there I'll plan how and what time

605
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: I drum for, what time I stretch for what time

606
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: I rehearse for what time I eat for like I'll

607
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: really I'll go into graphic detail about how particular it is.

608
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: And that's just one of those things that keeps me

609
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: on track. It's one of those habits that I developed

610
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Actually I didn't do it before

611
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, so it's definitely a twenty twenty three habit,

612
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: and that is one that I'm grateful for that's stuck

613
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: around and I think think if I could, if I

614
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: could give any advice, it is create habits that can

615
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: just become your lifestyle. Create eating habits instead of going on,

616
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: you know, a diet. Sometimes a diet is the right answer.

617
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: You need to like really drop it and then figure

618
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: out what your common ground is, or you need to

619
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: really gain it and then figure out what your common

620
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: ground is. But you know, find something that you can

621
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: truly maintain, and it might be small changes for me.

622
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: It's something that I've definitely had to learn with my

623
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: diet because I I'm already I mean, I'm a little

624
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: I'm little, you know what I mean, And so I've

625
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: had to figure out to get to my body goals.

626
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: Can't necessarily put myself on a diet because that could

627
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: get unhealthy for my body type, and so I've had

628
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: to be very slow about my process, very slow about

629
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: changing little tiny habits that will make a difference. But

630
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: here I am two years in and it's still making

631
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: the difference, and it's gotten frustrating. But I know overall,

632
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: it's not what you look like in your body in

633
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: the mirror. It's what you feel like, what your health

634
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: is like. And that's the stuff that is truly important.

635
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: And that is why I'm going to do a whole

636
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: podcast dedicated to things that I've learned, work out things,

637
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: eating things, things, hell things, because that is something that

638
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three I became so passionate about. So

639
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: we are gonna fall down the rabbit hole, fall down

640
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: the drain, and that will be on a Jojeseua now
