1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: It just runs in our family, like we have to

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: take care of ourselves more than other people, and we've learned,

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: I think throughout the years, to just embrace our body

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: and embrace who we are. Mom would always wake us

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: up super early, Let's go for a walk. She would

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: write in my journals like this is what you should

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: only eat. No breads, no carbs, only eggy. There's been

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: many times when I thought if I was this size

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: in the English market, I would be celebrated. Hello everyone,

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: and happy Monday. I hope you're all having a great

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: week so far. My week has been a little crazy

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: with work, but I can't complain. I've been traveling and

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: finishing up some projects and I can't wait to share

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: some of them with you very very soon. Today's episode

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot of fun for me

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: because I'm joined by what am I s We're gonna

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: be talking about something women think about a lot. At least.

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: I have our bodies that includes our shape, our weight,

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: and what we're expected to look like. But we're not

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: going to stop there. We're going to talk about accepting

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: and embracing our bodies. So let's get into it. This

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: is chick Ease and chill. For those of you who

23
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: don't know who Jenk is, she's my younger sister. She

24
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: is an entrepreneur and so much more. She actually just

25
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: launched an athletic apparel brand called over Comfort, which I

26
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: freaking love. The material, you guys, is a bomb, okay,

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: And I know about work at close because I live

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: in it. So she really got it down with the

29
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: fabric and not only that, but the mission behind it

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: I absolutely love, So you guys have to check it out.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: So as a woman, and especially a woman in the

32
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, wait is something I think about all the time.

33
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm in a place where I love my body

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: most of the time, there are still days where I

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: feel a little insecure, and I think it's more of

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: the outside noise that causes that. But there was a

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: time where I really was just not happy at all

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: with my body. I don't know. I mean, I've gotten surgeries.

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe in plastic surgeries, guys like I'm a huge,

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: Like it's your body, do what you want. I've got liposection,

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: I've gotten breast augmentations and then reductions and then again,

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: like it's been a struggle, and I think it has

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: to do with the way that we were raised. My

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: mom was very and I don't I don't blame her

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: and I don't judge her for it because I know

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: my grandpa was really hard on her and her sister

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: about their weight. So my mom and our household weight

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: was always a conversation, like it was just since I

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: can remember, you guys, And there was a time where

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I look at pictures now and I'm like, Damn,

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: I looked good. I I was thinner, you know, I

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: look good and I didn't think I was then. And

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: it's crazy because my sister Jackie just posted on that

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: the other day, like on her feed. We've all I

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: think shared that, especially now that we're in the industry

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: and you're expected quote unquote to look a certain way.

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, why didn't I appreciate my body then? I

58
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: was freaking thirty pounds lighter and I still thought that

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: I was big. But it's because of the stigma and

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: the way that, again, we were raised and things that

61
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: I think my sisters and I are trying to work through.

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: And this is something my sister Jennica, which is here,

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: she's here. Let's like, I'm excited I'm gonna be able

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: to speak to herz Jenica, Welcome to the podcast. It's no.

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: I definitely agree that it was the way we raised.

66
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I always talk about it, like with like my friends

67
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: or my trainer or whatever. They're like, how are you

68
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: so disciplined? Like I'm like, I've literally been like this

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: my whole life. Mom would always like she'd wake us

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: up super early, let's go for a walk. She would

71
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: write in my journals like this is what you should

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: only eat. No breads, no carbs, like only egg whites, grapefruit.

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: It was really really hard. Like for me, it was okay,

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: like I have to listen to my mom. And then

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: as I got older and then Mom passed away, like

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: it's like we had the reality show and then we

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: were consistently in the spotlight. So it's like something it

78
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: mattered to me like it was at that time. Yeah,

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I could say it was more about like what people

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: thought of me or whatever. But then it got to

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: a point where I just like I just want to

82
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: feel good, Like I got so tired, like I would

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: remember like crying with you, like in dressing rooms, like

84
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of trying on clothes, like I hate shopping,

85
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: like I hate it, and then now is just kind

86
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: of like now, thank God, like brands are more inclusive

87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: of like plus size and like okay, like this is

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: the plus size community and this is what it is.

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: And it's like I'd rather just own it and feel

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: comfortable where I'm at because I feel good where I'm at.

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: I know I could do more, but like I'm like

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: happy with where I'm at, Like it goes support at

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: least for me, where it's like all these people were

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: talking so much mess about all of us, and it's

95
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: just like they're always going to say something so like

96
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: why I even care about it? But do you know though,

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: that you have a lot to do with it. You

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: have a lot to do with the fact that now

99
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: brands are more accepting of curvy women that we you know,

100
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: women like us that have to go out there and

101
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: it's it's hard. I think a lot of people look

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: at us like, well, like we get a lot of messages,

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: at least I do. And I don't know about you, Jenica,

104
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: but like messages of of you really inspire me, like

105
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: thank you, like for embracing your body. Now I'm I'm

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: embracing mine. But I still have tough days, you guys,

107
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's sadly what is out there on

108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Instagram and what you're supposed to look like and this

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: whole facade, because there's a lot of people that weren't

110
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: born that way. And again I'm all about plastic surgery,

111
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: do your thing, but it's like this kind of unrealistic

112
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: expectation of how you should look. And for a long time,

113
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: you guys, I knew I was always thicker. I was

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: always a thick girl in class and all my friends

115
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: were like when I was a size nine I think

116
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: growing up or an eight, my friend was of course

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: afore So I was always that thick girl, but I

118
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: always felt pretty good. It wasn't really until I started

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: it started like getting into my head, like really really bad.

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Was when I got and stepped into this industry and

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: so many people have an opinion and it's like, oh

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: my god, you come out on TV. You should not

123
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: be that fat, And it's like I started looking at

124
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: myself different in the mirror. And that's where like therapy

125
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: kicked in a little bit more, and really words of

126
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: affirmation and speaking, it's really how we speak to ourselves

127
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: in the mirror you guys. That makes a huge freaking difference.

128
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: And this as we spoke about this with Liz Hernandez

129
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: on one of the episodes, and it's the power of

130
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: words and it starts with us. And yes, I've been

131
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: tea since I was little. And I don't blame mom,

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: to be honest, Like sometimes I would get upset and like, dude,

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: this is the reason that I am the way that

134
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: I am is because Mom was so tough on us.

135
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: It's like she would grab my arms like, okay, if

136
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: you eat that, it's going through it to your arms.

137
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Look at those guys, they're growing. And lat voice is

138
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: always in my head, like every time I don't want

139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: to go to the gym, and like all I remember

140
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: is like, oh, but you sweat so easily, you should

141
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: just do it. Oh. This is like Mom would always

142
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: be like I'm so jealous that you get to sweat

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: so fast, princess, keep going and keep going. I'm like okay,

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: And then I don't even think people know this, but

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: like it's like cause a lot of trauma, like at

146
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: least for me, like mom, Like I love obviously I

147
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: love my mom, but like she made me get surgery

148
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen, like the gas strick and like

149
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So it goes hand in hand. It's like, okay,

150
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: like I'm doing this literally for my mom, and then

151
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: now that she's not here, it's like, okay, it's either

152
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: I have to do it for myself, like I have

153
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: to feel good. And at the end of the day,

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: she always had the best intention. She always wanted us

155
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: to feel good and look good and she loved us. Yeah,

156
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: because she had suffered so much as well, which I

157
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: understand her now exactly. Now I can say now, I'm like,

158
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: growing up, it was so hard, and I just like

159
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: even there was times when I'm like, oh, my goodness

160
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: as an adult and I'd be like, why was she

161
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: like this with us? And now I can sit back

162
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I get it, Like she didn't want

163
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: us to suffer what she had suffered through, and she

164
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: wanted us to feel good. Even her sister Jackie. She

165
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: sent her to fat Camp and Jackie talks about that

166
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: all the time, so it was something that was always

167
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: on her mind. But because I think she didn't want

168
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: us to suffer in this world that can be very critical,

169
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: and I thank her now because I think because of

170
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: her as well, Like I can withstand so much shit

171
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: that is thrown at me, So I think her for sure,

172
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna lie. And that's why I think

173
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: it's important. Now we're talking about this guy. So if

174
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: women or parents out there that are listening to this podcast,

175
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: the way you speak to your children is very important

176
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: because it really takes a huge part in what they

177
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: think of themselves and how they feel about themselves. You

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because it's it's it starts even

179
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: in the womb, how you speak to your baby when

180
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: when they're in your tummy and speaking words of affirmation

181
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: and speaking words of life into them. And I'm not

182
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: saying that my mom didn't. She didn't know any better. Again,

183
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: she didn't know any better. She didn't think that it

184
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: was going to affect us in this way. Even then,

185
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: like at the end, like she would always, she still

186
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: had curves and she was still happy about it, like

187
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: she would sing in her songs or whatever. And I

188
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: think ultimately she just wanted us to be healthy, start

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: now before it gets harder later, because it was harder

190
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: for her at her age to lose the weight than

191
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: it is for now at my age. Yeah, that's what

192
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: she would always say. In our household, it was we

193
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: never had whole milk, it was non fat milk, egg whites,

194
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: like Jennica said, we were not allowed to eat the yolk.

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: So it's just a lot of little things like that.

196
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: But I also I thank her because I think that

197
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: it's it's the back of my mind working out and

198
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: being healthy and you know what I mean, like because

199
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: it just runs in our family. It's just that's what

200
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: it is. Like we have to take care of ourselves

201
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: more than other people. And we've learned, I think, throughout

202
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: the years to just embrace our body and embrace who

203
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: we are. And I love to see you, Jennica, because

204
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I know how much you suffered with with your weight

205
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: from like I don't know, I think you held were

206
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: you when you started like really realizing probably like well,

207
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Mom sent me to camp like when I was eleven

208
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: or twelve. No, you went to suck up when you didn't, Yeah,

209
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: I did, And then you and your boyfriend went to

210
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: me up because I didn't want to either, and you

211
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: got mad at me because I didn't stay longer. Really

212
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: should I thought it was just Jessica, I mean Jessica Jackie.

213
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: It was in San Diego. M Yeah, okay, well yeah

214
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: I went and then yeah, but now it's like becoming

215
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: like I wish I would have done it then because

216
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: the now, I mean what, who knows. But now I'm

217
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: kind of just like I never really thought i'd be

218
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: that person to like really see the gym as an outlet.

219
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: But it's so relieving. I feel so good after. And

220
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: it's such a good point that there's this quote that says,

221
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: you never regret or work out, and you never do.

222
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: You feel so good. It's gotten to the point for

223
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: me where it's not just about losing weight to work out.

224
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: It's for my mental health for sure. Like I feel

225
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: more empowered, I feel like I have more energy. I

226
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: feel like I accomplished so many things that day once

227
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: I work out. For sure, Right, if I work out,

228
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm good for the rest of the day. Like I

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: feel like I did what I needed to do. Yeah,

230
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: So tell a little bit about camp. Now that we

231
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: got there and I had forgot, how was what was camp? Like? Oh?

232
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: That was horrible. It was not traumatizing, but I remember

233
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: being in like the dorm rooms and like they would

234
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: give you one little pack of gummy bears, those little

235
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: snack packs for kids, and the girls would save them.

236
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: They would put them in their drawers and save them

237
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: because apparently you would only get so many here and

238
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: then so they would eat them in the middle of

239
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: the night. Once Kurfey was up, you couldn't eat anymore,

240
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: so all these girls would put them away and then

241
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: they would eat them, and then like running around the track,

242
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh no, like I need

243
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: to go home, like I just can't, Like I can't,

244
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't be here and I don't. I'm not a

245
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: very social person, like and being around people just gives

246
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: me a lot of anxiety. So I just like in that,

247
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: in that little space and bubble, I just felt like,

248
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: oh no, I need to go home. I need to

249
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: just I'll figure it out. I'll tell my mom, like

250
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: I'll go work out, Like I just can't be here.

251
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: I can't do this. How long were you there for?

252
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: I was there like three days. I was supposed to

253
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: be there for like two or three weeks. Oh my goodness, Jennica,

254
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I was just listening to a mom.

255
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: But but anyways, okay, So Jennica, like I said earlier,

256
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: she was very very like a very shy, introvert type

257
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: of girl. Now I love to see her blossom like

258
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: she really like I see her on her posts and

259
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm just like, do Jennica is hot? Is fuck? Like

260
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: she is beautiful, She's got going on, Like I was

261
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: telling her the other day, I'm like, dude, this girl

262
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: is working out every single day. Like I've seen the

263
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: transformation and how much she has lost on her own.

264
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: And I want to tell you, Jennica that I'm very

265
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: proud of you. I know that it probably hasn't been

266
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: an easy process, right, Yeah, no, I think you're you know,

267
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: because like you the first person I so, I'm just like, dude,

268
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm so over this crap. I'm so over not saying

269
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: the difference. I'm so over and not really feeling good

270
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: because people are still telling me all these things like

271
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: I could be as confident as I want to be,

272
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: and like little comments like really get to me. So

273
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: like yeah, like I have people like can comment back

274
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: for me because if not, like it'll mess on my

275
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: day or like I just don't want to deal with

276
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: it because I feel so good in confident. I worked

277
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: so hard to get to where I'm at now, I

278
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: don't need it, and those people generally don't really matter.

279
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: Are those comments though, that you receive, Are they mostly

280
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: about your body? Yeah, they're they're mainly about my body,

281
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: or like, oh, you have all this money, why don't

282
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: you just get surgery? Oh my god. A lot of

283
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: them are very encouraging, like when I post my workout videos,

284
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: like I literally pray. I'm like, you know what, like

285
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: I just hope that it inspire someone, and I get

286
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: comments like oh, good job, good job job, which is

287
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: good ultimately, thank God. But for me, it's like I've

288
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: learned to like keep social media away so it doesn't

289
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: affect my mind because I think that's what's the most hurtful.

290
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: And then I just get compared to you in Jackie

291
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: a lot, so I'm just like, really, yeah, I don't

292
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: what do you mean, like how you guys are skinny,

293
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: or like, oh my god, like you don't even look

294
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: like them, or this isn't that. So I'm just like,

295
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: you know what I swear. I know I'm telling you.

296
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: People on social media can be so mean, but I've

297
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: learned that it's like those people aren't busy enough, those

298
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: people aren't successful enough, those people aren't even happy with themselves,

299
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: because if they were, they wouldn't be there trying to

300
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: hurt someone's feelings. Trying like busy people that are successful

301
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: and happy don't have time to sit there and talk

302
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: ship on social media. Like that is so lame and

303
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: whack to me, guys, if you are one of those

304
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: people listening to my podcast, I want you guys to know,

305
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: if you sit there and criticize people on social media

306
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: behind a fucking telephone, you are whacked as fuck. I'm sorry,

307
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: I just need to tell you it is so fucking

308
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: unattractive that I'd rather someone come to my face tell

309
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: me you know what I think this so I can

310
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: tell you something back. But it sucks because there are

311
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: people that love us on social media. No, and like

312
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: we meet the people in person and they're so sweet,

313
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: like like everybody in person is so much more nicer,

314
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Like they'll come up when we are so pretty, like

315
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: you've really inspired me to go to the gym and

316
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: like to me, like I don't know why, but I'm

317
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, thank you. Like they'll tell

318
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: me thank you, and I'm like, no, thank you, Like

319
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: that really helped me today that I'm really happy, like

320
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: keep going or whatever. So those things are like important

321
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: to me and like where I feel like, Okay, it's

322
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: worth it. Exactly, it's worth it, and that's what we

323
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: have to focus on. And I think, do you you

324
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: have more positive comments to negative ones? Right? I'm sure, yeah, yeah.

325
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: And I think we've learned to just accept that it

326
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: being in this there's always going to be that ten

327
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: percent that they're going to have an opinion and it's

328
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: probably a negative one and they're not gonna like you

329
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: no matter what you do. Before, I would love going

330
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: on social media after posting something and then replying to

331
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: people because I just I love having that direct contact.

332
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: But then I had to stop doing that because you

333
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: come across some negative comments and it sucks because I

334
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: felt like I was intending to the people that love

335
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: me and that I love as much, but because I

336
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: was also protecting my heart in my mind and saying

337
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to see negative comments because I'm not

338
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: in the right place emotionally, because sometimes those comments are

339
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: are harsh, like it's like like you're on a diet,

340
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: like they're fucked up. And when you're around p M messing,

341
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: when you're a PM messing like it, it can really

342
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: get to you. But I've learned to just like, no, okay,

343
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm not the first, I'm not the last. I know

344
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: this is a part of it. And it's like really

345
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: giving yourself therapy every single day, and like Jenica said,

346
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: focusing on those people that really get it and that

347
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: we're inspiring and that keep us motivated and keep us going.

348
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: And this is why it's so good you guys to

349
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: take pictures of your progress. If you don't want to

350
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: wear yourself, I get it, But if you take pictures,

351
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: like Jenica just showed me the other day, She's like,

352
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: do you see a difference? And I swear to you,

353
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm so freaking proud. She wakes up,

354
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: she goes to the gym for an hour, She works hard.

355
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: She's super disciplined. That's something that my mom. She taught

356
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: us to be very disciplined to finish what we start.

357
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: And I thank her for that. Jennica like, I give you, like, honestly,

358
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: a round of applause, girl, Like you've have been killing

359
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: it in the gym. Girl, you look good. I don't

360
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: know how much you've lost, but how much have you lost?

361
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't own myself. Okay, see, yeah, but I'm glad

362
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: you took those pictures because I'm sure you could tell

363
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, but I don't own myself because like literally,

364
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: like how I would say, like the number on the

365
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: scow really doesn't matter. It just doesn't because I could

366
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: weigh the same, but I have more muscle instead of fat.

367
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: The weight it's not gonna measure my inches, so it's

368
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: just like there's no point. Yeah, how to do that.

369
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: My therapist told me to do that. They're like there's

370
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: throwed away, like you don't need it, and it made

371
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: you feel better. Yeah, some people believe in like weighing yourself.

372
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: I don't like you know what I mean, It's not

373
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: my thing. But pictures are a good thing to have, guys.

374
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: People Actually, j I have a question for you. Do

375
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: you think that Latina's face added pressure to look sexy?

376
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: Small ways, big breast and but like do you feel

377
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: that I feel like it's kind of generalized. Is I

378
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's just for Latinas. Maybe more because

379
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: Latinas have natural curves, they're thicker, We're thicker in that sense. Yeah,

380
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: but I think everybody always has that pressure because it's

381
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: what what Kim Kay has. She has thick thighs, a

382
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: big gass, and like a small waist. That's the ideal

383
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: body everyone he wants to have because she is like

384
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: the social media idol. Yeah, like you know, it's a

385
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: molded body and I'm a for it girl that you

386
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: look great, you know, but as latinas you know, we

387
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: have those and it's crazy because it's like you have

388
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: this big button, these big guys and it's just and

389
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: then we we don't want it, like some people are like,

390
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: well people want that, Like there are people that would

391
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: die for that body type, and I get it, you know,

392
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: but I do feel like it's harder for us. But

393
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: it's also what we eat, like what we were raised

394
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: with two like all we were given and beads and

395
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: all those stuff. It's just exactly so it's like it's

396
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: harder for us to lose the weight and to get

397
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: that body because we eat all this stuff, which I'm

398
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: not mad about. I'm happy with the freaking culture that

399
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: I have, Like I know, I'm so happy. I feel

400
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: like we have the best food and like I don't know, yeah,

401
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I absolutely I agree, you know, to answer that question,

402
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: I asked you. I do feel like they make it

403
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: a little harder. I feel like you know that they

404
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: want you to be who has a crazy, freaking amazing body,

405
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: and it's just that that's what you should look like

406
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: if you're on television, which I feel like mom made

407
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: the difference for people though, Oh for sure, like she

408
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: did honestly break barriers in that and like, thank goodness

409
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: because even in her song, she's like, I don't have

410
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: j Lo's body, I don't have Yrka's or whatever, and

411
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: it's like, uh not Malvina. Yeah. For for those of

412
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: you that don't know that song, I'm sure you have.

413
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard, it's my mom's song. It's called

414
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: that Malivina. It's a really good song. It's in Spanish.

415
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: Listen to it. It's really like a feel good like

416
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm cute no matter what type of song. No even

417
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: you though, like you like in your music videos, like

418
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was so cool, like now that you're

419
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: showing your legs and everybody needs to know that you

420
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: would not and nobody notices these things. But chickens would

421
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: never show her arms or her legs or nothing until

422
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: like the last music video. Oh my god, she just

423
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: did everything like it looks so good like and I

424
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: just feel like it's just making a difference for everybody.

425
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jenny. Yeah, it was a thing for me.

426
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: I don't wear shorts. And in that music video, in

427
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: a music video where with cameras you look bigger, I said,

428
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: if it, I'm gonna do it. This is what I

429
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: want to do. This is what I envisioned. And if

430
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: there are people that don't like it, well whatever, I

431
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: love it even on vacation, Like it's so funny even

432
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: when our vacation, like she won't wear a bathing she'll

433
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: wear bathing suit, but sure were like the longest cover

434
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: up or like her rope or biker shorts or whatever,

435
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: and it's like even then biker shorts are stretched. So

436
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: but you've got you've gotten better and you've looked good.

437
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: But see when I went to to Loom last year, right,

438
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: and I wore a two piece and I was just

439
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: living my best life on the beach and they freaking

440
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: got me in that freaking red bikini. But like, the

441
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: crazy thing is they get you in the worst. You're

442
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: just like moving and they're like they get you in

443
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: the worst pictures and I'm like, it's horrible. There's zoomed in.

444
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: I was like, why why is our media like that? Like, dude,

445
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: my mind be like tough skin, because if you let them,

446
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: they will eat you out. Let me tell you, Jessica,

447
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: how often do you work out five to six times

448
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: a week, four to six, four to six defending, and

449
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: how are you eating? So before I used to do keto,

450
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: which helped, but it's not ideal for me the way

451
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to eat. So I kind of stopped and

452
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: I leaned more into like clean eating and if I

453
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: want something, I eat it in moderation. So I have

454
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: a very very high protein diet. Nice. Yeah, see, I

455
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: a keto. I like, I'm trying to lay off the cheese.

456
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: You know that it's like too much cheese. But honestly,

457
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: I think guys, it's very important to know what works

458
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: for your body. Like literally everybody is different. Okay, listen

459
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: to that again. Everybody not just everybody, everybody is different,

460
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: so you have to know what works for you. Another

461
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: thing that works for me is intermittent fasting. That has

462
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: helped me so much. I eat from twelve to eight

463
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: pm and I fast for sixteen hours and that really

464
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: helps with my metabolism, with my mental clarity, and like,

465
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: if you guys haven't heard about it, go like research it.

466
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: I really love it. And I work out I don't

467
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: know anywhere. I try to do five times a week, um,

468
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: five times a week, if not at least three. And

469
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: I like to do a lot of cardio. I haven't

470
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of weeks lately because I don't

471
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of room here and my trainer and

472
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: I haven't been working out, But cardio helps me so much. So, Jenica,

473
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about music a little bit. So what songs

474
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: do you listen to that make you feel like a

475
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: ad bit, especially like when you're working out, Like what

476
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: do you like to listen to Bad Bunny? Yeah, she's

477
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: in love with Bad Bunny, you guys, she wants to

478
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: sit on his face. No, it was like his No,

479
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: his songs are so like you know what, Like he's

480
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: like a fucking type of guy. So I'm just like, dude,

481
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: like really get into it. Even if it's like like

482
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: you really listen to his lyrics, he's just like you

483
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: know what, Like there's no time to wait. It's just

484
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: fucking with your life, So like just do it. I

485
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, because for me in music is a

486
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: huge part of my life. Like I feel like I

487
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: could be sad and I put on a song and

488
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: it just reminds me of like hell, hell yeah, I

489
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: know who I am. I know what I could do,

490
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean? Do you feel like

491
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: your weight or the issues that you had with your weight, like,

492
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: have they played a huge part in maybe you're like

493
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: depression and anxiety? Like can we talk about that a

494
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: little bit? It definitely has. Like if I'm not happy

495
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: with my weight, I'm just not happy in general, which

496
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: I think is super important. Why because well, at that time,

497
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: like when I was in a really really pressed I'm

498
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: really anxious, like I wasn't seeing results. I've struggled with

499
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: it my whole life. I should have listened to my

500
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: mom before. Like all that stuff runs through my head

501
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: and it's just difficult. It's like, dude, like if I

502
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 1: don't see a difference, then what am I doing? Like

503
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: why am I like starving myself? Or why am I

504
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: working out so hard? Or you know, And it just

505
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: put me in a really dark place where I'm just

506
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: like I've kind of started letting go and I kind

507
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: of like you know what, Like whether I see a

508
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: difference or not, I'm getting healthier, I'm stronger, I'm stronger mentally,

509
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Like my working out has definitely it's an outlet for me.

510
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: If I don't go, like I just feel like, okay,

511
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I'm stricter on myself that day,

512
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: which isn't healthy. So I've learned to just like balance

513
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: myself out and I'm still learning like the balance between

514
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: like eating a cheap mail and like not feeling guilty

515
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: for it or not working out and doing something else.

516
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: So it's definitely been an outlet for me, and it's

517
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: helped me mentally a lot. And I think everybody has

518
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: noticed that as well, Like for me, it's a part already,

519
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Like if I don't work out during the week and

520
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: I don't have therapy, it's not going to be a

521
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: good week. So you've you've come to the conclusion of

522
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: working out is part of my mental health and it's

523
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: just a part of my life for the rest of

524
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: my life. And therapy as well, right to help with everything. Yeah,

525
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: and I think that that's also the good that you're

526
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: talking about because you're so young, you're twenty four, right, Jenica,

527
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: She's gonna be twenty this year, so she's twenty four,

528
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: and the fact that she is doing this at such

529
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: a young age, I hope that she can be an

530
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: of inspiration to all of you that are listening that

531
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: either you're younger or older than her or her same age.

532
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: It's part of just knowing like what works for you

533
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: and therapy. You guys, I can't say it enough. I

534
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: always talk about it, but therapy so important, especially in

535
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: the world that we live in today with social media

536
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: and all these standards, and like, it's just it's very

537
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: very important, and I would highly recommend it. And I

538
00:25:53,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: think that that's great that you're still doing your therapy, Jenny.

539
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: As far as that relationship, because you haven't been in

540
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: a relationship for a long time, has that been my choice?

541
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you want to be in a

542
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: good place mentally and emotionally or you just haven't found

543
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: the right person? Like, what do you think has played

544
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: a role in that that you've you've been single for

545
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: what like two years now? Basically yeah, but fun. But

546
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: it's like I've made the choice of being single because

547
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't have time to waste anymore.

548
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying like the next person I need,

549
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: I need to marry. No, I feel like I have

550
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: high expectations, Like I think I'm pretty cool and like

551
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: I'm pretty disciplined, and I know what I want in

552
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: my life. So it's like you have to kind of

553
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: be on the same level as me, and if not more,

554
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: because I don't have time to teach you how to

555
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: do all of this or teach you how to like

556
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: take care of someone like I don't have that time,

557
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: and and and part of it could be my body

558
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: because I have these two guy friends that go to

559
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: the gym, and all they talk about are the girls

560
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: at the gym and like how they're skinny and how

561
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: they have a fat ass. And I'm like, is that

562
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: really all that matters to you? Like I'm being like,

563
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm being serious, Like do you guys just go to

564
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: the gym because for them it boosts their ego, like

565
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: it boosts them to work out harder at the gym.

566
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you getty serious? Parts of that? When

567
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: I hear it from my friends, I'm like, that's not cool,

568
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter to me, Like I know, the

569
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: next person I need isn't gonna worry about my body

570
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: or isn't going to worry about what I eat or whatever. Like,

571
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: So now that I see guys like it does put

572
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: a hold on what I I have to train my brain.

573
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, not all guys are gonna be like

574
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: these guy friends. And I've told them, I'm like, you

575
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: guys are like kind of dicks for like doing that.

576
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: And I've heard personal conversations that they've had about girls.

577
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, and I've told them, and I call them

578
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: out on them, like, you guys shouldn't talk about girls

579
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: like that. Don't be a jerk, Like every girl is beautiful,

580
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: Like you don't know what they're struggling with. What if

581
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: they can't or oh, this girl has such a flat ass.

582
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what if she can't get a fucking ass?

583
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Which shouldn't matter. So I mean, ultimately, like, if I'm

584
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: not a relationship, it's because I'm choosing not to be

585
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm choosing to wait and be smart

586
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: with my decisions because I generally don't have any more

587
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: time to waste, And like, if you're not gonna like

588
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: me for me, then don't come out here. Like, don't

589
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: don't do it, you guys, A round of applause, standing

590
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: ovation for Jennica, because it's admirable that you're so young,

591
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: and I think it has to do with you are

592
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: the youngest sister and she has seen the mistakes that

593
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Jackie and I have made. I'm so freaking proud of her.

594
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you, Jenica, because you're so smart,

595
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: so independent, and it's just like, dude, like sometimes I

596
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: swear to you. I call Jenica. Jenica's my best friend,

597
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: and I call her and I'm like, this is what's

598
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: going on, And the advice that she gives me is

599
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. Like the thing is that, like I can

600
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: give someone a lot of really good advice, like I'm good,

601
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I can stand outside the situation

602
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: and give you some bombss advice. But when you're in it,

603
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: it's hard for you to see things. You know. So

604
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: I call Jennica and I'm like, in, Jenica straight up,

605

Speaker 1: and she's going to tell you how it is and

606
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: look at her like I just I love the fact

607
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: that she is choosing herself right now. She is taking

608
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: that space because she was in a very in a

609
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: long term relationship. And I think she's done well with

610
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: saying I'm going to take this time and space to

611
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: take care of myself, to take care of my body,

612
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: my mind, body and soul. And I don't think we're

613
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: ever going to be fully You can't be like, oh,

614
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm fully ready, yeah, and I'm ready to be in

615
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: a relationship, like, but you gotta be more ready than

616
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: not like where you're like, I'm good, like I'm good

617
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: with who I am, with what I have to offer

618
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: and what I'm going to accept and not accept in

619
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: a relationship. And I think that that's a fucking beautiful thing, Jessica.

620
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: And damn my god, good I did good raising this

621
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: little groannut. So going back to like the industry, there's

622
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: been many times when I thought if I was this

623
00:29:53,840 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: size in the English market, I would be celebrated like

624
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: a Lizzo like Adele was. Now she's thinner. It's like

625
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: more accepted in the English market it's in the Spanish.

626
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: And that's just the truth. It's almost they're very, very judgmental.

627
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: And I've been told a lot like oh, you have

628
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: such a pretty phase, so when are you gonna lose weight?

629
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, straight up, like I remember being in an

630
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: interview with Don Francisco and he told me, like on

631
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: the break, he's like, and I had just lost I

632
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: think like fifteen pounds, and it's something that I've always

633
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: been up and down with my way, always like I

634
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: feel like I take care of myself more than the

635
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: normal person, and it's always just been more difficult for

636
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: me to just drop as much weight as like the

637
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: average person, you know. And I've gone to like a

638
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: hormone therapy, like try to like figure out my thyroid situation,

639
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: because there's a thro situation in our family, and it

640
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: really can affect you because it's like I don't think

641
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm that bad, but for you, I am. And I

642
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: do think that if I was I don't know, like

643
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: forty pounds lighter, maybe I would probably have more oppert tunities.

644
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I do think that I

645
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: can't complain too much as plus size because when I

646
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: started becoming an influencer, I wanted to I put it

647
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: on like my goal is like, Okay, I want to

648
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: be a model for this brand, this brand, and this brand,

649
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: and I will think about them like okay, like they've

650
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: included plus size women, which is obviously a plus which

651
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: is amazing, but they don't include a woman in the

652
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Latin community like they'll do African American, which is awesome.

653
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm happy at least the plus size community is

654
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: being included. But when it comes to Latinos in our world,

655
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: like say if we were going to Mexico, like you

656
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: don't see like people on billboards for a plus size

657
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: brand or whatever, because the way that Latinos are raised

658
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: were to be like you have to be super strict

659
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: and super harsh on yourself. Like once you go to Mexico,

660
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: once you cross the border and t J, all you

661
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: see is the doctors or like there's like there's one

662
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: that's like if you're a beast, called this number or whatever,

663
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: and it's like it is harder in our community, like

664
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: to be recognized or to be like honored for our

665
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: bodies because it's not the normal or how these old

666
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: generations saw it. Yeah, because there are women that I've

667
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: been around and I won't say their names, that are

668
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: like way older than I am, and they have like

669
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: amazing bodies, and I just I guess I'm just I

670
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: refuse to live unhappy, Like I like to enjoy my

671
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: food and enjoy life. So when we've gone to these

672
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: luncheons and I'm with other artists and they see me

673
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 1: eat a piece of bread, it's kind of like, oh

674
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: my god, I can't believe you eat that, like kind

675
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: of like no wonder you are the way you are.

676
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: Like they won't even touch, not even a tiny bit,

677
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like, are you really happy? Like like you

678
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: gotta like give yourself some room to have fun, you know.

679
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: And I've been around it, and it's like sometimes like

680
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: if I would have allowed it, it could be very,

681
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: very traumatizing. But I just constantly tell myself, I know

682
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: who I am. I don't have to be the skinny

683
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: girl to be talented to do what I do on stage.

684
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's literally telling myself this every single

685
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: day and telling myself that I am loved. And I

686
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: think it's hard for me because I'm not like skinny,

687
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: but I'm not placise, So it's like I feel like

688
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 1: it's like a little bit like hard, but I'm like,

689
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: fuck it. We gotta love ourselves, ladies. We've gotta love ourselves.

690
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: There's gonna be someone out there for us that's gonna

691
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 1: love us for who we are what we have to

692
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: offer in every single way. I think we have to

693
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: just stop like looking at these people on social media

694
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: as the example of what we should look like. And yes,

695
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: like there's always for improvement on the outside, and it's

696
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: taking a step every single day towards that, but not

697
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: becoming obsessed with it, because when you become obsessed with it,

698
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: like there's no way that you can be happy. Like,

699
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: you have to find some balance in all of it.

700
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm a huge believer in Monday through Friday, watch what

701
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: you eat, do your best to just give it your all,

702
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: be disciplined, be consist stint, and on the weekends, live

703
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: your fucking life. It's all balanced, Like you can't like

704
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: live your life just oh my god, like super obsessed.

705
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: Like it's just people always like, oh my god, you

706
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: because they criticize you too much. You're always happy, well

707
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I want to be happy, so I'm

708
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: gonna do the things that make me happy. So that's

709
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: finding the balance in your life, you guys. And especially

710
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to wait because believe me, we know

711
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: what it's like and how hard it can be and

712
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: how cruel people can be, but we still know we's

713
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: some badass bitches like Jessica has her overcomfort. Tell us

714
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: about overcomfort, girl, I'm so proud of you. Well. Overcomfort

715
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: is basically I started out with athletical error because I

716
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: would go to work out and I would only find

717
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: workout closed at Target. And Target has good quality. But

718
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: after a while it rips, it gets too stretchy, or

719
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work out. So I use the example

720
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: of like I would hate going to shop at stores

721
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: and I would cry because they never had my size

722
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: or the size that they had just didn't work out.

723
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: Like I just didn't feel good. It would be a

724
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: two X when it's really like an extra large. So

725
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: I was just like, you know what, Like I want

726
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: to make something that's accessible, that's affordable for people to

727
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and just shop and feel confident and comfortable in.

728
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: And like I started out with the Feeling Good collection

729
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: because ultimately I want people to feel good about themselves.

730
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: I want people to feel good about themselves mentally. That's

731
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: what overcomfort is is like getting out of your comfort

732
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: zone to really reach your highest potential and who you

733
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: are mentally and physically. And that's what it's done for me.

734
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: Like if I didn't leave my comfort zone of like

735
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: getting out of my bed. You guys, I would sleep

736
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: in until like two to three or four o'clock and

737
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do anything. And I knew I was depressed,

738
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't get out of bed, and it was

739
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: comfortable for me. I felt good being in bed. I

740
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: felt something could feel good. But it's also you're in

741
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: your comfort zone. You're not reaching out to really get

742
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: to where you need to be or to what I

743
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: feel like God has called me to do or to

744
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: be in my in in the world or in this

745
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: life and with his purposes for me. So that's why

746
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: it's called overcomfort. I started with the Feeling Good collection

747
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: because I feel like everyone deserves to feel good every day.

748
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: There's no reason for someone not to feel good. And

749
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: I feel like once you wear something that you like,

750
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: you feel good in it. The power of an outfit

751
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: is insane, like when you're dolled up or once you

752
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: get a workout done, you feel good. So that was

753
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: the first collection, and I have so much more, like

754
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: things that are that touched me to the core, like

755
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: that have helped me, especially like since and I felt

756
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,240
Speaker 1: like it was like a whole pandemic thing where things

757
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: were just like really really bad and I was in

758
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: a really bad mental space. And the things that have

759
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: helped me that I want people to know that can

760
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: help them as well. So whatever I did in twenty

761
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: to help me mentally, I'm going to just basically come

762
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: up with tell us your your your slogan again, calling overcomfort,

763
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: Calling overcomfort. So it's basically stepping out of your comfort

764
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: zone and reaching your full potential. I love that. I

765
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: love that, And it's it's just for women right now, right, No,

766
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: the first collection was just for women, but everything else

767
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: that's going to come out is okay and talking just

768
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: for women, things about just for women. I really like.

769
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this, Jenska. I think it'd

770
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: be great to eventually have our own gym just for women.

771
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: I would love that, right, I would love that, Like

772
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: that's a goal because, like I said, my friends literally

773
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: go to the gym not to idolize or like stare

774
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: at women, but it's like an ego thing for them,

775
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: and it's just like no, like I would always feel awkwards,

776
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: like they have this thing on TikTok called oh this

777
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: is for the shy girls or whatever Yeah, there's a

778
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: bunch of girls that don't know what the funk to

779
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: do in the gym, and I don't want to go

780
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: because there's these hot ass guys that are just assholes.

781
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: So like make a gym that where everybody can feel comfortable. Yes,

782
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: that's my biggest thing, because sometimes there are girls that

783
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: go to the gym for the wrong reasons to find

784
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: a dude and they're not really working out. And there

785
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: are those guys that make women that really want to

786
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: go in there and lose weight and sweat and not

787
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: look cute, make them feel insecure and make them feel uncomfortable.

788
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: So that's one thing that I have on my vision board,

789
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: you guys, and I think I'm probably gonna do with

790
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: my sister Jennica. I'm excited for us to do like

791
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: in all women's gym where you go in there and

792
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: you box and you freaking just like let it all out.

793
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: So you guys send us good vibes that can happen. So, Jenica,

794
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have anything else to add,

795
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: but I've really enjoyed a conversation. You always amaze me.

00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: intelligent and I'm always a channel, but it's the truth.

800
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm just so proud. I'm so proud of you, Jennica.

803
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,520

804
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: lot of where I'm or because of where I'm at

805

811
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,120

814
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: and to others. It's a decision every single day that

815
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: you must take. Okay, some days will be harder than others.

816
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: But if you decide in the morning, I'm going to

817
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,680
