<v Speaker 2>Oh welcome back to Jojo se one now and happy

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. That is scary. How how is it

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four? I don't know. I wrote the date

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 2>for the first time just a couple of days ago

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>on something actually was on my in my workout journal

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>and I wrote down one slash three slash twenty three,

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, oh my god, no, it is

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. Saw this thing that was like, uh, congratulations,

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you are still mourning twenty nineteen and it is now

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>five years later, and I was like, Jesus, that is

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 2>so scary. Anyways, though, it is the new year and

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I could not be any more excited for this year.

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it is going to be a great year.

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I will say twenty twenty three had a lot of

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>good in it. Twenty twenty three had a lot of

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 2>bad in it, a lot of heart in it. I

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like everyone can kind of like agree with them

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>themselves on like look looking back at twenty twenty three,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I feel like for me and at least for all

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 2>my people around me, it was a very ugh. This

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 2>feels like weird to say, but like educational year, Like

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I learned a lot about myself, feel

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 2>like all my friends learned a lot about themselves. I

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 2>feel like I learned a lot about the world. I mean,

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's just because I turned twenty in twenty twenty three,

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like you just learn a lot when

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you turn twenty. But I want to start off this

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 2>podcast with a little bit of a twenty twenty three

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>highs and lows moment. I had so many freaking highs

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.559
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three. I was writing them down today

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>to be able to talk about them on the podcast,

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, oh my god, I actually don't

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 2>even like, I don't think I can remember them all.

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I tried to go through every month try to be like,

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>what were my moments, And first one that I want

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to talk about is pretty obvious, and that is of

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Special Forces. I had the best time in New Zealand.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>But again back to that educational thing, it really did

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>change me. It changed the way I think about life.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>It changed my perspective on friends, on family, on myself,

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>on work, on personal life, on everything. And so being

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>able to kind of now apply that to the rest

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>of my life. Hopefully I got a long long time left.

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I hope I'm not done anytime soon here

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 2>on earth. But it's cool that I got to learn

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>those lessons at such a young age, and Special Forces

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>is definitely one of the things I'm most grateful for

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three, and that actually leads me into

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>my second high, and that is all the incredible people

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that came into my life in twenty twenty three. I

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 2>met so many of my closest friends in twenty twenty three,

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>which is crazy because I feel like, you know, for me,

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 2>like I've kind of met friends throughout my life that

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>have like really stuck around. I friends from when I

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>was little. I have friends from when I was like,

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean like I had like friends from when I

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 2>was six. I friends from when I was like twelve.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Then I met a couple when I was like fifteen,

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. But I feel like in

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, I gained Oh my gosh, if I

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 2>was to actually like really say, I mean, Nick Tyler,

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 2>one of my friends named Kez Kelsey Savannah, I had

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 2>so lex Oh my gosh Lex came into my life

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three. I had so many incredible people

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 2>that I'm like, wait, you are now like considered best

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>friend to me, family to me, which I am just

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful for it. It's been a dang good year.

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I got into some really fun hyperfixations in twenty twenty three. Uh.

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.119
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to become a barista in twenty twenty three,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>so I built a coffee bar. I thought I was

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna go into the World Cup in twenty twenty three,

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>so I went through two weeks where I was determined

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to become a professional soccer player. Did not stick with it.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I went through a rock climbing phase. I went through

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a really intense tap dancing phase. I still tap dance,

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>but I went through like a like I go every

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>single day phase. I went through a workout classes at

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>a gym. Phase. I went through. This is actually one

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>that I've been going through since I was like fourteen,

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and that's indoor skydiving. And this year twenty twenty three,

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>so I guess last year twenty twenty three, I got

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>really back into indoor skydiving because for my twentieth birthday,

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>we actually went on an Alaskan cruise, which was so fun,

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and I gosh, I love Royal Caribbean so much. I'm

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>actually just about to go on Icon of the Seas,

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>their new ship. I'm going on the inaugural sailing of it,

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>which I am so stoked about. I was gonna be crazy,

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the best six days ever. But I went on another

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>one of my Caribbean ships, Quantum of the Seas, for

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>my twentieth birthday and for my brother's twenty third birthday.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>And on that ship actually have indoor skydiving, so it

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 2>was the first time that I had done it in

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 2>a really long time, and I did it a lot.

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's actually where I met one of my best

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 2>friends this year. She was an instructor and we just

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>we grew super super close and it's been amazing. And

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 2>we figured out that we had some like ties to

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>each other before we even met, which is crazy. It's

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>such a small world. Uh. And then yeah, I really

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>really stuck with it this year and now it's become

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>like a part of my family. I won't kind of

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I won't talk about why just yet because I don't

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 2>know if that's something that how it relates who it

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 2>relates to would actually want me to talk about. But

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 2>now it's like become a part of my family. Indorse, skydiving,

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 2>which has been so fun and so awesome. God, I

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 2>can't ever get enough of it. The last hyperfixation that

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I am so happy about is drums. So towards the

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>end of twenty twenty three, I got to perform with

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the artist G Flip, who is so amazing. They're an

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Australian artist who is just so phenomenal. I can't even

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>say enough amazing things about G anyway, so thank god

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I did, because watching G perform that night, I literally

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my god, I G is an incredible drummer.

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 2>That is their thing. Kind of how people will sing

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.479
<v Speaker 2>and dance or sing and play guitar or singing play piano,

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 2>which they also do, they sing and drum and I

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my god, I want to learn how

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to drum. Like I was so inspired after that night.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 2>G is just such an incredible person, Like it was

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 2>just the best freaking night in my life. I was like, yes,

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>made the right choice. It's very happy that I left Florida.

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I miss Tyler, my brother, of course, but so happy anyway,

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So I left the concert and I was like, yo,

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I am gonna get a drum kit. I'm gonna drum.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna teach myself. This is gonna be great. And

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 2>two days after g Textan was like, dude, if you

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.480
<v Speaker 2>ever wanted to learn how to drum, I would teach you.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, Oh, you don't even know that,

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was thinking. So then Gee's been helping me.

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I got a drum kit, got one at the house

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and one at my studio. I have been playing now

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>for about three months, and I just love it. She

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>is a phenomenal teacher. It's been so fun. I can't

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I really can't get enough of it. It's been great,

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 2>all right. I feel like that though those were pretty

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>much my highs. I mean, we got to go to Hawaii,

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>which was sick. I moved actually into my brother's room,

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>which was sick. That kind of leads me into one

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>of my low lights. The reason why I moved into

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>my brother's room. So our house is structured so there's

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>like three rooms on the right side, and then one

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>room on the on the left side, right, and so

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 2>on the right side, and this room actually that I

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>filmed the podcast and was my old bedroom. And I

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>decided that because my brother was moving out and he

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>moved to an apartment a while ago, so he hasn't

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>been at home for a minute, but still in California.

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>But then this year he decided in twenty twenty three

0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 2>that he was going to move to Orlando, and that

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>that was something that honestly, I was this, Okay, you

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 2>gotta stick with me here, you gotta stick with me here.

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>I was stoked about not because my brother was leaving,

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>but because he was going to live his life and

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>go do what he's wanted to do. I feel like

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>my life and my career. Some people look at it

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and see like, oh wow, that really takes over the

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>whole family. And the thing is is it has, and

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>there has been cases where it has, and there has

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 2>been cases, of course where it hasn't. But I've always

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>looked at my brother and questioned, like, what is what

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>is who is he? What does he do? What does

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 2>he want to be? Where's he going to go? And

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>he's older than me, but I still, you know, I

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>still look at him and I think like, what is

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>what is his life? You know what I mean? And

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>so this year when he decided to move down to Orlando.

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I was so proud of him because I was like,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>you freaking go. You go live your life, you go

0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>do your thing. Him and his girlfriend Abbey live down there.

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Now there arriving, they're so happy and so yeah, they're

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>they're living their best life down there. I love going

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 2>down there. I love actually staying at their apartment. I

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 2>called their apartment the Ritz Carleton because it is the

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 2>not the Ritz Carlton at all, but I love calling

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>it that, and I love staying there with their dog.

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>It's freaking great. But now that I know he was

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>never coming home again, I was like, well, I'll screw that.

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>He has the nicer room in the house, so I'm

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>moving to his room. So I moved over to the room,

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 2>and uh, yeah, it's been It's been freaking great. Uh.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>The other the other low light actually is is was

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>a really devastating part of the year. In the beginning

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year, we got a sweet little puppy. His

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 2>name was Toowey. He was the best dog ever. Oh

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 2>my god, he was crazy. He uh used to put

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 2>one arm up and scream all the time and then

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>walk on it like he was fine. And and then

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>just walk like you see he was. He would just

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>sit there and then just like fall over like he was.

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>He was the most personality crazy dog ever. Uh and unfortunate,

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>on April twenty eighth, about a couple couple months maybe

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.079
<v Speaker 2>a month two months after we got him, he unfortunately

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 2>was attacked by coyote and the coyote came in our yard,

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 2>scooped him up and ran off. My my dad was

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>outside with them, same morning routine too. He was out

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 2>playing with the other dogs. My dad was five ten

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 2>feet away from him. Like we know to watch for coyotes.

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a very big thing in our yard. We've had

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>a coyote attack before that a dog has survived, and

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 2>so it was you know, we were aware of it,

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, it happened and we were all just devastated.

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>And then a couple months later we got new puppy.

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 2>His name is Clyde. We call him Baby Clyde. And

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at Clyde. Something came over me and

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I wonder when Clyde's birthday is. And

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>no matter what you believe in, this is still a

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 2>freaky coincidence, whether you believe in reincarnation or not. I

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I do or not, but it's still

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 2>just a freaky coincidence. I was like, I wonder what

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 2>his birthday is. I'm I never looked to see what

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>a dog's birthday is said, but I was like, I

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 2>want to know what when Clyde' is. It just came

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>over me anyway, So I go and I pull out

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 2>his birth certificate and he was born on April twenty ninth.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>So two, he passed away on April twenty eighth, and

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Clyde was born on the twenty ninth. Isn't that like,

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that's like there's some it's weird, it's freaky, but we

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>missed Towey Boy every day. But we are very very

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 2>grateful for Clyde, and we love all of our puppies.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel like twenty twenty three for me was a

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>pretty transitional year. Last year, New Year's Eve, we were

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 2>we were on a cruise and I remember I was

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 2>entering twenty twenty three and I was like, I have

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>one rule for myself, only one. No dating. I had

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>just gotten out of a whack. That's that's not fair

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to call it that I had just gotten out of

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>a whack relationship and I had a lot of things

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>happen to me, and I had a lot that I

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>couldn't talk about pop happened. And there's still a lot

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 2>that I can't talk about publicly that happened. But I

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.439
<v Speaker 2>did learn like, look, all right, no more public relationships.

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 2>That is the lesson that I haven't learned. But I

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 2>was like, all right, no dating in twenty twenty three,

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and Miss Mother Nature held me to it. There was

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 2>a few times where I got close few people that

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I wanted really bad, but Miss Mother Nature was like

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 2>absolutely not. Somehow she she swiped every every possible relationship

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 2>away from me in twenty twenty three, which honestly was

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the best thing for me. At the end of the year,

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I got to do this massive project that I have

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>been waiting about. I mean I've had the plan for

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 2>it for two years, like the set and Stone plan,

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>but I mean it's been in my head for six

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>or seven years now, and so finally got to do

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>this massive project. And if I would have been in

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>a relationship, I wouldn't have been able to do the

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>project the way that I wanted to in the way

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 2>that I did, so like Miss Mother Nature and away

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>had my back, but yeah, home girl was not letting

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 2>me date. However, twenty twenty four is the year for me.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Sign me up for the freaking bachelorette like count me

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in Dog, twenty twenty four is the year of dating. Also,

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>something else that I wanted to do in twenty twenty

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 2>four is travel by myself a lot more. I traveled

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>by myself for the first time ever in twenty twenty three,

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.680
<v Speaker 2>and it was freaking awesome. I went to Ohio for

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the first time. That was where I went for twenty

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>four hours by myself on a word trip. But it

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of fun. And then I flew to

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>New Zealand for Special Forces with my two best friends,

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>so I wasn't alone, but I wasn't like it wasn't

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>like I was with my parents, you know what I mean.

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 2>And then flew to Hawaii by myself, I flowed, flew

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to Florida bunch by myself. I've kind of been all

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 2>over by myself now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 2>always loved my solitude time, and I think it's I

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 2>think it's a good thing, you know what I mean,

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Something that happens over New Year's that I feel like

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>literally all seven billion of us in the world think

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.959
<v Speaker 2>about is New Year's resolutions. And I think New Year's

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 2>resolutions are awesome, but I think sometimes they become unrealistic

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and people think that you're going to make a lifestyle

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>change on the first of the year, and truthfully, best

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 2>thing you probably do is make it the last day

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 2>of the last year, you know what I mean. It

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>is that way, Like you there's not as that is

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>not as much fresh as I started mine on the

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 2>December thirty first, and it was so great. I'm still

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>sticking with them. It's been amazing. But I think New

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Year's resolutions, honestly, for me this year, I feel like

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 2>over the time I've developed some pretty solid habits and

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm really happy with my keeping my room clean, my

0:14:56.520 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 2>eating habits, which has been a learning curve and I'm

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about that eventually on this podcast,

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, it's I've really developed some cool workout habits

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and cool eating habits, some cool sleeping habits, and I

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like there's now like I don't need to change

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>anything or or make a massive change on you know,

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 2>January first, but I just want to keep sticking to

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 2>the plant now what I do need to do is

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>stop biting my nails. That look I thought when I

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>left Dance Moms, Maddie told me she because when I

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 2>left Dance Moms, I text about it and I was like,

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 2>guess what I left. And she was like, oh, get ready,

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 2>you stop biting your nails immediately. And I was like, actually,

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 2>for real and she was like, yeah, mine are literally

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>perfect now because I left the show, and I was like, sick,

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 2>here I am eight years later, still biting every day

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 2>of my life. So that did not work out for me.

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's okay, that's all right, We're gonna, We're gonna

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>it's it's fine, it's fine. Twenty twenty four for me,

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be a pretty epic year personally

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and professionally. I twenty twenty four is there's a lot

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 2>in store. There's I mean, the most massive project of

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>my career for sure is happening in twenty twenty four.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 2>And it's scary, and it's a shift and it's a change,

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and it is a goddamn leap of faith. And I

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 2>think because it's something though that I'm so passionate about,

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not scared of it. And I also think, thanks

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 2>to Special Forces in twenty twenty three, I'm not really

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 2>scared of much anymore, which is it's not a bad thing.

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's good to have healthy fear, but I

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>think sometimes fear can hold you back from doing something

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>that you could really end up loving, you know what

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean. And so I think I'm really excited for

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 2>this new career journey that I'm gonna embark gone in

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. It is scary, but I'm not scared.

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Does that make sense? I feel like that makes sense.

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, what goes around comes around, and I

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 2>think it's I think it's gonna be good or it

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 2>could be bad. You never know. Karma always chooses her

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>own way. You never know how she's gonna go. Oh okay.

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I talked a little bit about traveling alone and twenty

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. So far, I have a couple of travel plans.

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to talk about this because I think it

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>would be so fun, and especially because I don't even

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 2>really know where we all went. I have to find

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 2>out from the DS and stuff. But twenty twenty three,

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 2>when I did Special Forces, that was in Queenstown, New Zealand, However,

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>we went all over New Zealand. They would stick us

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.479
<v Speaker 2>in a car and drive us for three hours and

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.439
<v Speaker 2>we never knew where we were going out long we

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 2>were going to be in the car, like, we never

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 2>knew anything, right, And something though that I want to

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>do in twenty twenty four is I actually want to

0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 2>go to New Zealand again with my family and take

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>them to the damn wall so they can like actually

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 2>visualize it and see, like, whoa, that's like where they were,

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 2>That's how tall it was. Take them to where the

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 2>trenasium was set up, take them to all of the things,

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Take them to where the ice bath was, take them

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to where the hikes happened, take them to where our

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 2>base was. Oh my gosh. So how the boat challenge

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 2>was like really even for myself, like go back, Go

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>stay at the hotel we stayed at before we actually

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 2>went to forces the mill Burk. It was awesome, great,

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>it was a freaking resort. It was amazing. Then we

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 2>went to the freaking middle of nowhere, slept on a

0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 2>sheet and called it a day. But I think that'd

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 2>be so fun. And then we also have a plan

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 2>to go, Like I was saying, earlier icon on the seas.

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 2>That's happening at the end of this month, end of January,

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and I am so excited. Oh. I always meet the

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 2>best people on cruises. I always have the best time

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 2>on cruises, and I I could not be any more

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 2>stoked about it. Something that I do think is really

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to really focus on as I'm getting older is taking

0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.439
<v Speaker 2>care of yourself, whether that's you know, some girlies do

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.640
<v Speaker 2>their self care, facial routine and nighttime routine. Me personally,

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I use baby face wash and baby lotion and that

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 2>is it because baby wash on my whole body, baby

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 2>lotion on my whole body. Call it a day Johnson

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and Johnson Newborn howshig not sponsored, but that stuff life changing.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>It's the only thing I put on my skin. It's great.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.199
<v Speaker 2>No routine, it's one time. This was maybe like I

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 2>think it was like three years ago. You know how

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Vogue do that thing where it's like Datta da skincare routine,

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>get ready with dat da da, and it's like for Vogue,

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's a it's a pretty big deal, right Well,

0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Vogue asked me to do it, and I of course

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 2>said yes. You don't say no to Vogue. So they

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.199
<v Speaker 2>come over to the house, they set up, they do

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff. They're like, all right, uh, can you

<v Speaker 2>grab us your products so like we can we can

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:56.399

<v Speaker 2>oh sure, grab my baby washing, grab my baby lotion

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 2>on the handed to and they were like, oh no,

<v Speaker 2>we need like we need like products and I was like, oh, yeah,

<v Speaker 2>this is them and they were like no, no, no, we

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 2>need like your full skincare routine. And I was like, yeah,

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.879
<v Speaker 2>this this is it. And they were like no, we

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>need like your full thing and I was like no,

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I swear on my life, like I this is all

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I use. And we went back and forth, and I like,

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 2>I was like I don't know I can with you.

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll like go through my covers like whatever y'all want.

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:26.159
<v Speaker 2>And they were super nice about it too, and I

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 2>was super nice about it too. It just was like, not,

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 2>this is not happening. So then we went through the house.

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 2>We tried to like rummage up some shit to like

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 2>put in this video to like make it look like Finally,

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 2>after like ten minutes looking for stuff pulling my brother's

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend's skincare, I was like, this just isn't this just

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.200
<v Speaker 2>isn't the vibe, is it. And everyone was like, yeah,

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 2>this just isn't the vibe. Like no hard feelings on

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>either end, but like it's just not the vibe. And

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:50.479
<v Speaker 2>I was like, all right, let's let's not do it.

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>So only project that I've ever like been on set

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>and been like that, this isn't This isn't. You agree?

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I okay, I know it's just not. But back to

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.439
<v Speaker 2>what I was saying, taking care of yourself, eating, working

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 2>out right, taking care of your body, getting outside, treating,

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 2>getting enough sleep. Oh my gosh, I cannot stress how

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 2>important sleep is. And I'm just learning that. And I

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm a very bad sleeper. I really am. I wake

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 2>up alive in the middle of the night. I don't

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 2>fall asleep easily. I do wake up easily because I'm like,

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 2>all right, let's go freaking time to shine. The day

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.360
<v Speaker 2>before I did this big project in twenty twenty three though,

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 2>like the biggest project, the one that I've been like

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.679
<v Speaker 2>talking about but not talking about, So the one if

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 2>you follow me on social media and I use a

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a heart with the fire and the big wave emoji,

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:46.239
<v Speaker 2>this is that same project anyways. And so the night

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 2>before that I fall asleep, and I don't fall asleep

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 2>till like three in the morning. I'm just staying awake.

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I was practicing at home. I was just too stoked

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:57.200
<v Speaker 2>having the best night right too stoked, couldn't fall asleep,

0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 2>woke up at like my call time on set was

0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 2>like seven am, and so I was up at like

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 2>four so I could get a workout in before I

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 2>was just I was too excited. Long story short, not

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a good sleeper. So that is something though that I realized,

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.400
<v Speaker 2>like does affect me. And I noticed when I get

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>a good night's sleep, how I wake up and how

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel and how I how I fall asleep, and

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 2>it just it all depends when I don't sleep how

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel. And so figured out what works for me

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.200
<v Speaker 2>is actually comfort shows. If I put on a show

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.520
<v Speaker 2>from my childhood, that will put me to sleep. Currently,

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a good Luck Charlie phase. I've gone through

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 2>a Zach and Cody phase, gone through a Wizards Waverley

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Place phase, and now I'm in a good Electrinity phase

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and it just freaking freaking gets the job done. In

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, I fell in love with dance again,

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and that is something that I have found, my love for,

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 2>lost my love for found my love lost, my love

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.399
<v Speaker 2>for found my love for lost my love for and I.

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Since I was about seventeen, I've been in a phase

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of like found my love for it again. But in

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, I this is this is oh, I

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 2>getting serious. This is one of the hardest things for

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 2>me to talk about because I can't legally to safety wise,

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to protect myself. I went through a situation in the

0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 2>beginning of twenty twenty three that actually affected my mental

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 2>health mental well being more than anything ever has. And

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the only thing that got me through was dance. And

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>there was days where I texted my friends and said, hey,

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm going up to the studio because my friends and

0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I will do hang outside the studio. Will come up. Well,

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk, we'll dance, we'll have food, we'll chill, we'll gossip, like,

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll do whatever, like where everyone's pretty chill. But in

0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the year I was like I would

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>There would be days where I like, I need to dance.

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Everyone's you're invited, please come, please hang out with me,

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 2>But like, I have to dance today. It's not like

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 2>a talk day. Because if I talk, I can't talk,

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and that really got me through that. And I what's

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 2>crazy is that anytime I went through something that was

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 2>hard or something that was made me not okay, I

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 2>found myself wanting to go to Studio Siwa and wanting

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to dance. And now Studio c has kind of become

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that safe place for me and my closest friends. They

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 2>will text me and be like can we go to

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the studios day? And I'll be like, I will meet

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 2>you there in an hour, like count me in. And

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the amount of times that I have cried on the

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Studio Sewa floor is actually insane. I went through heartbreak

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>without going through heartbreak this year because obviously no dating,

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 2>but I definitely got my heartbroken this year. And I,

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 2>when I tell you the what the walls have Studio

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Sea have sayed is co crazy. It is actually insane,

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.879
<v Speaker 2>but it's great and it's become my safe space. And

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 2>now that's why I'm out there all the time, just

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 2>to keep myself mentally happy. And I think that's something

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 2>that's so important that when you find that thing that

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:18.520
<v Speaker 2>truly can keep you happy, embrace it, run with it,

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and keep freaking going with it. Ah Man. You know,

0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I gotta admit, New Year's is one of my favorite holidays.

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:30.879
<v Speaker 2>I really love like the end of the year and

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>the very beginning of the year holidays. End of the year,

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>we got Halloween, we got Thanksgiving, we got Christmas, and

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.879
<v Speaker 2>then we got New Year's. That chunk of holidays for

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:43.160
<v Speaker 2>me is like my freaking kryptonite. I think the reason

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 2>why I love New Year's is because I have a

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:47.639
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun New Year's memories. I mean, you know

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 2>how you have those like super faint memories from when

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>you were a kid. This one, I did gymnastics when

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I was little, And I have this one where we

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:56.440
<v Speaker 2>were at this our gymnastics place with me and my

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 2>brother and it was like a big sleepover and you

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 2>stayed all night you did gymnastic and I mean, god,

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I was probably four or five. Long story short, it

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 2>was a babysitter for the parents to go out and

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 2>go have a fun night and you stayed at the

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 2>gym with the coaches and it was great. And I'm

0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 2>sure the gym that had to have been a cash

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 2>cow for the gym cash cow. So there you go,

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 2>dance teachers out there, if you're looking to make some

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 2>money gymnastics coaches. I be looking to make some money

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 2>freaking babysit on New Year's you will get bank that

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>was backed. I also remember the year that, like my

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 2>brother and I were old enough to be home alone,

0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 2>and my my parents went out. We uh we we

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 2>banked pots and pans outside at midnight, and then we're like,

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 2>all right, good night this year for New Year's I'm

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 2>not even gonna sugar go what happened at all. I

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 2>was like, yeah, I'm gonna have a great night. You're

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna stay up late. It's gonna be fun. Had steak

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>dinner with my dad. It was amazing. He cooked the

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 2>steak I decided. He had buffalo cauliflower, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli,

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and flaming your on New York Strip and rabbi. It

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 2>was the best meal ever. Anyways, after that, I was like,

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 2>all right, I'm gonna go work out, so I stay awake,

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 2>make it up to bed. I'm like, all right, I'm

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna stay up all this sudden. It's eleven fifty six,

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 2>seven eleven, we'll say, we'll say six, we're gonna, we're gonna,

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna now. Actually we're gonna say seven because we're

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it even closer to midnights eleven fifty seven,

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, I can't do it. I'm going

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 2>to bed, closed my eyes and I woke up and

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 2>it was the next day. I could not do it. No,

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 2>it was just I'm sired. I can't help. But my

0:27:36.400 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 2>mom called me and she was like, so, who'd you

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 2>bring in the New Year's with? And I was like,

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 2>literally no one. I fell asleep and she was like

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that for a second. And I was

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 2>like okay, and she was like, who are you talking

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to and like cause she knew I was at home,

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>but she was like, but who are you talking to

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 2>him midnight? I was like, you can go through my

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 2>call history, Like I don't know what tell you. I

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 2>literally fell as I was like, I was determined to

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:00.639
<v Speaker 2>make it. Couldn't even stay awake three minutes. But I

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 2>wasn't talking to anybody. I just was just was sleepy.

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Speaking speaking of my mom, toughout this podcast up, I

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 2>actually have a funny story about her, so she my

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 2>mom helps me out behind the scenes of this podcast.

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I have an incredible podcast team who kind of helps

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:21.680
<v Speaker 2>me figure out what will be I guess interesting to

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:23.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about because let's look at I'm sitting here talking

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:25.760
<v Speaker 2>to myself for thirty minutes. I gotta have some sort

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 2>of structure, right. And then after we get that list,

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.120
<v Speaker 2>my mom goes through that list and like checks it out,

0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:33.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of fills it in the gaps because she knows

0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 2>me better than I even know myself, right, And so

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 2>she added this note to the end of my my

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 2>what I Want to talk about list? And I laughed

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 2>out loud because I was, like, Mom, this is so

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 2>obviously wrote by you, it is actually hysterical. She wrote,

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 2>You're really disciplined with your schedule and time. That is

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>clearly something you taught yourself. What made you like this?

0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Like mom, is that the advice that you want from me?

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 2>But it's so funny because my mom and I we

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 2>talk about all the time, and my dad and I,

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 2>actually my dad and I talk about this more than

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 2>my mom and I do. But how you know, parents,

0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you raise your kids, and kids you're raised by your parents,

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and you have traits, You have beliefs, you have habits

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 2>that you are taught, you have habits that you don't

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 2>even know. You have things that you don't even know

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 2>are taught, but they just are. They're inherited. And then

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you have like your stuff that you develop by yourself,

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, and then you repeat the

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:30.760
<v Speaker 2>pattern to your kids. And something that I did not

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 2>get for my parents at all is the way that

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I schedule out my day and my life. I quite

0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 2>literally schedule out every single day. I'll read you today's schedule.

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:45.959
<v Speaker 2>So I make a note on my phone every night

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 2>before I fall asleep, I pick out my outfit or

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 2>outfits for the next day, depending and then I write

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>out my schedule. So last night at ten fifty two pm,

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I wrote down seven to fifteen, wake up, seven thirty,

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 2>fat burner, finish up by eight eight fifteen, I eat breakfast.

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I had down yogurt, but then this morning I wanted

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to switch it to the alvocado and egg bagel, so

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 2>we swapped it out. Nine o'clock, work out, ten thirty

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in the shower, at eleven o'clock, get ready, twelve o'clock,

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:15.840
<v Speaker 2>eat lunch, twelve thirty podcasts after that in any particular order,

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>go through photos, go to the studio, drum, run your

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>old tour, XMG prep choreography, set up pastries for tomorrow.

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of how like I structure out my life,

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and that is definitely not something that I've learned from

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:30.880
<v Speaker 2>my family. My family is like a wake up at

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 2>your leisure, order breakfast when you're feeling it, wake up

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 2>when you're feeling it, maybe get ready, maybe done, get

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 2>some work done, has some lunch, get some more work done,

0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>call it a night. I'm like, no, I set my alarm,

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I wake up, I do this, I do that, I

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 2>eat this, I eat, then I go there, I travel there.

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 2>And there will be some days where like my day

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:57.440
<v Speaker 2>is like specifically structured, Like tomorrow, I have rehearsals with

0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 2>my girl group where I'm choreographing for their two that

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 2>they are going on in twenty twenty four. Gets your

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 2>tickets at live nation dot com. My girl group Xomgpop

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 2>we have our first tour choreography day, and it literally

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 2>my day will be structured out. To wake up, I'll

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 2>plan my wake up time, my workout time, my breakfast time.

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Then I'll plan what time I go to the studio,

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 2>and then from there I'll plan how and what time

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I drum for, what time I stretch for what time

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I rehearse for what time I eat for like I'll

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 2>really I'll go into graphic detail about how particular it is.

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's just one of those things that keeps me

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 2>on track. It's one of those habits that I developed

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three. Actually I didn't do it before

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, so it's definitely a twenty twenty three habit,

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and that is one that I'm grateful for that's stuck

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 2>around and I think think if I could, if I

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:52.040
<v Speaker 2>could give any advice, it is create habits that can

0:31:52.200 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>just become your lifestyle. Create eating habits instead of going on,

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, a diet. Sometimes a diet is the right answer.

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 2>You need to like really drop it and then figure

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 2>out what your common ground is, or you need to

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 2>really gain it and then figure out what your common

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.720
<v Speaker 2>ground is. But you know, find something that you can

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>truly maintain, and it might be small changes for me.

0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 2>It's something that I've definitely had to learn with my

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 2>diet because I I'm already I mean, I'm a little

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm little, you know what I mean, And so I've

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 2>had to figure out to get to my body goals.

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Can't necessarily put myself on a diet because that could

0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 2>get unhealthy for my body type, and so I've had

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>to be very slow about my process, very slow about

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 2>changing little tiny habits that will make a difference. But

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>here I am two years in and it's still making

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 2>the difference, and it's gotten frustrating. But I know overall,

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not what you look like in your body in

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 2>the mirror. It's what you feel like, what your health

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 2>is like. And that's the stuff that is truly important.

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>And that is why I'm going to do a whole

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 2>podcast dedicated to things that I've learned, work out things,

0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 2>eating things, things, hell things, because that is something that

0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three I became so passionate about. So

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 2>we are gonna fall down the rabbit hole, fall down

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the drain, and that will be on a Jojeseua now

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 2>coming up, So you'll just have to wait and listen

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:17.000
