Speaker 1: I'm Honey German. My parents are Dominican. I was born
Speaker 1: and raised in New York City. I love sneakers and
Speaker 1: I'm a body positive advocate. I'm Carolina Bermudez, n but
Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Ohio. I'm a wife,
Speaker 1: a mama, and a worker being. This is life in Spanglish.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Carolina. I cannot believe that we are looking
Speaker 1: at each other, that this is actually happening. I feel
Speaker 1: like it has been now almost a year since we've
Speaker 1: been able to do this, and I it was so excited,
Speaker 1: you know. Andrew said, are you guys ready? Andrew producer,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what do you mean? Are we ready?
Speaker 1: It's been a year. I've been ready. It has been
Speaker 1: an insane like time and we are just so glad
Speaker 1: to be back. You know. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people have been reaching out on social media asking where's
Speaker 1: life in Spanglish? And you know what is going on, Carlina.
Speaker 1: It breaks my heart every time, you know, and they
Speaker 1: don't let me post something. I'm like my new shoes.
Speaker 1: They're like, but anyway, when his life and bands back,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, it's so true. You know, we've formed
Speaker 1: such a bond, in a connection with you guys, and
Speaker 1: it really has been an absence. I know, I can
Speaker 1: speak for myself and I know for you too, honey.
Speaker 1: But you know, there were some things happening, and I
Speaker 1: felt like I was in a predicament because I couldn't
Speaker 1: tell anybody what actually was going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: And all I kept saying was at stay tuned, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll be back soon. And so I think that this episode,
Speaker 1: which we're just so glad to be back, we need
Speaker 1: to just focus a little bit on what happened and
Speaker 1: why we took such a long break, and you know,
Speaker 1: also talk about the exciting things that we have coming
Speaker 1: up this season. Yeah. No, for sure, it's been a
Speaker 1: long time. You know. The pandemic happened that that was
Speaker 1: number one. Me and Carolina got separated. We were no
Speaker 1: longer in the studio together because, as you guys know what,
Speaker 1: I worked for Power, Carolina worked with K to you,
Speaker 1: but we were on the same floor so we could
Speaker 1: just come together and record a new episode every week.
Speaker 1: They separated us the Lockdown, King Covid took over and
Speaker 1: then boom, while I'm working from I almost died. I
Speaker 1: love how nonchalante she is, and she's like, and then
Speaker 1: I'm working from home and then I almost died. But yes,
Speaker 1: I know, and I know, like I'm not making light
Speaker 1: of it, but well, you know, at this point, it's
Speaker 1: like I have to. It's like, okay, I'm here. I
Speaker 1: made it. But you know, as a lot of you
Speaker 1: may know if you follow me, you follow my social media,
Speaker 1: I suffered a stroke last summer. Now it's been a
Speaker 1: year now, and you know, I'm just grateful I'm here.
Speaker 1: I made it to the other side. And you know,
Speaker 1: luckily there's no luck involving a stroke, but luckily it
Speaker 1: happened on my right side, which didn't affect my cognitive
Speaker 1: so it's like my memory, my speech, everything is perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: It just affected my mobility on the left side of
Speaker 1: my body. So it's like I still rehab and I
Speaker 1: still have some limitations, but I was able to jump
Speaker 1: back into work and I've been back at work full
Speaker 1: time for months now and here I am. Now it's
Speaker 1: time to relaunch life and span. Yeah, well you were missed.
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say this. You know, normally, when
Speaker 1: something happens to your friends, even if they get the flu,
Speaker 1: you find a way to either get them some soup,
Speaker 1: you want to pick them up, you know, you you
Speaker 1: want to get some emergency and things like that, and
Speaker 1: you drop it off at their house, and like, because
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, I feel like it made it so
Speaker 1: much worse because there were times where I wanted to
Speaker 1: just come and see you and spend time with you,
Speaker 1: and but it wasn't impossible. I didn't see anybody, like
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, the stroke happening and the
Speaker 1: pandemic not allowing me to be around anyone, but you know,
Speaker 1: my very close circle, which was my two sisters and
Speaker 1: my husband, because I was terrified. I'm like, imagine me
Speaker 1: rehabing from a stroke and then somebody comes visit me
Speaker 1: and I catch COVID and then the guy I'm like,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, I can't make it through this and then
Speaker 1: catch COVID and die. So it was just it was horrible.
Speaker 1: You know, I missed you, I missed everyone. And if
Speaker 1: everyone wanted to come see me and I can have
Speaker 1: him to say I'm sorry, you can't. I can't risk
Speaker 1: catching COVID and your person. I'm sure everyone was being careful,
Speaker 1: but it's just that one instance you know, well, you
Speaker 1: just don't know. And it's like, you know, Honey doesn't
Speaker 1: have the nine lives, you know what, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to take care of after that. Yeah, I'm not got that,
Speaker 1: I know. But you know the thing that I was
Speaker 1: saying to my husband when we were talking about it,
Speaker 1: we were discussing and I said, you know, I just
Speaker 1: feel so helpless, like I am a helper, you know,
Speaker 1: and I know that about myself, and I know that,
Speaker 1: you know, whenever somebody that I love is not well,
Speaker 1: I want to be there for them. And you know,
Speaker 1: so I guess that the way that I supplemented that
Speaker 1: was just by being there on the phone. And I
Speaker 1: said to Honey, I was like, whenever you want me,
Speaker 1: I am here for you. I'll listen. You know, we
Speaker 1: can just even if you just want to leave the
Speaker 1: phone on and I'm in the background whatever. But you know,
Speaker 1: it was just I think it's challenging sometimes for people
Speaker 1: because you need to know when to take a step
Speaker 1: back and give people the space that they're asking for.
Speaker 1: And I think that was pretty challenging, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just glad, you know, everyone understood. So it was
Speaker 1: just a lot, you know, between COVID rehabbing the wintertime.
Speaker 1: They like savings. It was just like, I had the
Speaker 1: worst year my life last year. Thank god, I am
Speaker 1: an amazing space now, but last year was challenging. Let's
Speaker 1: not forget people are dying, people we know are catching
Speaker 1: COVID hospital. It was just horrible, you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: grab you know. Things are better now, yeah, definitely, and
Speaker 1: so now we're moving forward. But we wanted to give
Speaker 1: you guys an explanation as to why, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: because I know people were asking me and I was
Speaker 1: trying to find creative ways to say new things. And
Speaker 1: then after I was just like management, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was like running out of lies because I didn't
Speaker 1: want to tell your story, you know, and I've always
Speaker 1: told people this is your story to tell. This is
Speaker 1: not for me to tell anybody, you know. So when
Speaker 1: people came out and they were like, did you hear
Speaker 1: what happened to honey, I'm like, did I hear? I knew,
Speaker 1: but I didn't say anything, And it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: it got me thinking, are you the type of person
Speaker 1: that somebody can tell a secret to and it'll never
Speaker 1: go anywhere? Or are you the type of person that's
Speaker 1: like dying to tell other people's secrets because truth earlier.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just like because sometimes I tell
Speaker 1: you secrets and sometimes I tell no many secrets or
Speaker 1: my sisters. It's weird. I'll never like blast it or
Speaker 1: like tell someone you would be mad at me for telling.
Speaker 1: But I usually have to tell one person at least.
Speaker 1: It just kills me. I wish I could say, no,
Speaker 1: your secrets, sake with me. But I gotta tell one person.
Speaker 1: But I know I know who I can tell that
Speaker 1: won't tell. Well, well, it's like, you know, then go
Speaker 1: get you know what I mean, Like you have to
Speaker 1: tell that one person that you know it's never gonna
Speaker 1: leave that person that you can trust them because you
Speaker 1: don't want to be looked at as a person who
Speaker 1: is untrustworthy. But then again, it's like I need to
Speaker 1: get this out. This is too big for me to
Speaker 1: hold onto by myself, and especially with everything that was
Speaker 1: going on last year, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: it was so heavy. So to have news like that,
Speaker 1: you know, I had to confide to my husband Mark,
Speaker 1: that was really the only person, you know, it was
Speaker 1: super hard. And you know what, Carolina, I told from
Speaker 1: work wise, I told maybe, like I told Auntie Martinez,
Speaker 1: you and and my two bosses, that was it, I really,
Speaker 1: because it's just like I don't want this out. I
Speaker 1: don't want the story out the wrong way. But you know,
Speaker 1: people I work with closely daily, especially you two are
Speaker 1: mature women. You are moms, you know, and you are
Speaker 1: friends and people that I can trust. So it's like
Speaker 1: it was a hard decision though, because I had friends
Speaker 1: from high school. You know. I had one friend that
Speaker 1: was like, I feel like he doesn't feel close to
Speaker 1: me anymore because I didn't tell him. You called me.
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't believe you did this to me
Speaker 1: and you didn't tell me, And I'm like, relax, bro,
Speaker 1: it's not about you. It's about my decision and what
Speaker 1: I felt comfortable with and when I felt I didn't
Speaker 1: feel comfortable sharing for nine months and your social media, Carolina,
Speaker 1: it was so hard trying to like not say anything
Speaker 1: and continue living life and be visible. It was the
Speaker 1: hardest thing I had to do. It made me realize, like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't have to put your life
Speaker 1: on social media every day, And now I go three
Speaker 1: or four days without posting anything. About my life because
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, nine months you didn't post
Speaker 1: anything that was happening in actuality. Now you can actually
Speaker 1: go a day, a week, a month you don't have
Speaker 1: You're not hey, look who they're Yeah, I know, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry guys. You know what, my dog is actually here
Speaker 1: right now because you know it's work from home life.
Speaker 1: But no, you know what You're you were so creative
Speaker 1: in how you stayed engaged with people, and it was
Speaker 1: something that was so admirable to me because you know,
Speaker 1: there were so many situations where I find myself like
Speaker 1: not posting or you know, not doing anything. I'm like,
Speaker 1: she just suffered a stroke, man, I said, and she's
Speaker 1: finding ways to like throwback pictures to like make it
Speaker 1: seem like she is out on the stoop right now
Speaker 1: in real time. I don't know how you did it,
Speaker 1: but I was just admiring the fact that you had
Speaker 1: the ability to do that. But when you talk about
Speaker 1: your friend from high school, like, let's just like touch
Speaker 1: on that for a second, because like, there are so
Speaker 1: many times when things happen in our lives where people
Speaker 1: make it about them, you know, where I can't believe
Speaker 1: that you did this to me, when you're the one
Speaker 1: going through something and you're just trying to figure it
Speaker 1: out and you don't need that extra pressure from someone
Speaker 1: to make you feel even worse about not sharing it
Speaker 1: with them. You know, it's unbelievable. Like, as adults at
Speaker 1: this point, we have to know what to like just
Speaker 1: fall back, you know what. It's not that you wanted
Speaker 1: to keep the secret from me, it's just you weren't
Speaker 1: ready to share it with me. Well, but I also
Speaker 1: think that it speaks volumes about people and kind of
Speaker 1: like how yeah, yeah, how you process things, you know,
Speaker 1: because it's like it's like his only concern for like
Speaker 1: the first five minutes of the conversation was not being involved,
Speaker 1: not knowing people, not telling him, Like I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 1: And then you know, eventually it took a turn towards
Speaker 1: it took a turn towards like how are you doing.
Speaker 1: But at the beginning of the conversation was all like
Speaker 1: I am offended, I am appalled, I implored, and I'm like, okay, laughed,
Speaker 1: You'll be fine now, you know. But I think as
Speaker 1: human beings, though, we have to protect ourselves, Like I
Speaker 1: think it was smart for you to only reveal this
Speaker 1: to a certain number of people, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Because it's like the more people you tell your story to,
Speaker 1: the more chances it's going to get out there. And
Speaker 1: you know, and that's what I didn't want. I wanted
Speaker 1: to control the narrative. And honestly, Carle, I did not
Speaker 1: want to share anything sad, sappy, depressing. You know, there
Speaker 1: are some people that use, you know, instances like this
Speaker 1: to get attention on social media and to get comments
Speaker 1: and prayer hands, and I didn't want any of that.
Speaker 1: I wanted to show when I was close to overcoming
Speaker 1: what happened, because I wanted it to be more of like,
Speaker 1: you can do this too, whatever you're dealing with, you
Speaker 1: got this, We're gonna overcome. I wanted it to be
Speaker 1: more about strength, power, resilience, hope, you know what. You know,
Speaker 1: I encourage people. If you haven't seen the video, it's
Speaker 1: at um I Am Honey. Joernman is at your Instagram
Speaker 1: so you guys can check it out. It's in the
Speaker 1: I G t V section. You can find it there.
Speaker 1: But it's what I wanted it to be. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be like like Hennessy, never stopping that it's
Speaker 1: never settled. But you know what, though, honey, you also
Speaker 1: learned so much throughout COVID, and I wanted to just
Speaker 1: like take your temperature. What is like the biggest thing
Speaker 1: that you got out of this time other than you know,
Speaker 1: obviously like the biggest thing, which was overcoming the stroke,
Speaker 1: but like, what was something that really stood out to
Speaker 1: you during this time of COVID that you feel like
Speaker 1: they're people can maybe benefits. I don't know, there's so
Speaker 1: many different things, but I'm laughing because I'm thinking, like,
Speaker 1: but did you do not need to eat out three
Speaker 1: times a day? You can cook your old food because
Speaker 1: a dead as used to eat out. You don't either
Speaker 1: order have delivery. And now it's just like for the
Speaker 1: fast year, cooking every single meal at home with the
Speaker 1: exception of maybe taking a risk and going out to eat.
Speaker 1: It's just like, yo, you can do this. You can
Speaker 1: work because I always just worked, Caroline. I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. It was always just about work, work, work, work, work, work.
Speaker 1: Now it's more about like home balance. Hey, there you go.
Speaker 1: That's the word. Just balancing things out, you know, spending
Speaker 1: time to talk to my husband without looking on my
Speaker 1: phone or without tweeting something. It was just more about like, yo,
Speaker 1: you got this, you can do different things, pivoting people's
Speaker 1: favor woman. I noticed that about you, honey too, because
Speaker 1: you know, before I used to be so envious, and
Speaker 1: like envious in a healthy way that like I just
Speaker 1: you know, there's something about me where I'll record a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff and then I'll never post it or
Speaker 1: I'll never put it up because I'm, you know, myself,
Speaker 1: like nobody cares if I'm eating this or doing this.
Speaker 1: And I used to see you you were constantly posting
Speaker 1: things and like you know, and I used to say, gosh,
Speaker 1: I gotta get better about that. I gotta do more
Speaker 1: to engage with my audience and things like that. And
Speaker 1: then I noticed that there was a definite shift after
Speaker 1: what happened for you. And now it's like not that
Speaker 1: I didn't enjoy it before, but I enjoy your posts
Speaker 1: even more now because I know that they're meaningful, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Now it's like I take my time. It's it's not
Speaker 1: like a bunch of ship before, which was like Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm here, I'm gonna concert, I'm here. I'm
Speaker 1: changing my shoes, I'm getting my nakeup done by somebody. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm at a photo shoot. It was just constant, like
Speaker 1: content of everything that was happening in my life. Now
Speaker 1: it's I'm being much more careful like what I post,
Speaker 1: even though I do have to get back to my
Speaker 1: old ways. But you know what, Caroline, get there. I
Speaker 1: didn't feel comfortable because you know, when you have a stroke,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes your speech is affected your face, you know,
Speaker 1: like I had trooping on the left side of my face.
Speaker 1: Just now I feel comfortable with the way I look again.
Speaker 1: So I had to step back from the camera because
Speaker 1: it wasn't who I was, It wasn't what I looked like,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to put that out there. You
Speaker 1: know what I want. I never wanted people to pity me.
Speaker 1: I never wanted people to feel sad. And I went,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Bendy would have said, I never wanted.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be like, yo, you're a beast,
Speaker 1: You're a warrior. You know That's what I wanted. But
Speaker 1: while I skilled back, you pushed forward. And it made
Speaker 1: me so happy, and it made me so proud because
Speaker 1: I was like, look at Carolina sharing, when did you
Speaker 1: decide you were going to share more. I was trying
Speaker 1: so hard, you know, I mean, listen, during COVID, we
Speaker 1: caught COVID um. My husband actually we pinpointed him. He
Speaker 1: was the one who brought it home. Because remember, my
Speaker 1: kids weren't going to school, I wasn't being social. We
Speaker 1: were very conservative, like we were literally staying home. I
Speaker 1: did not even enter a store, honey, when I tell you,
Speaker 1: I was doing drive up curbside everything. Like I was
Speaker 1: the person who was literally wiping down their groceries and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. If you remember that crazy time. And
Speaker 1: so after my husband caught it and we all got it,
Speaker 1: I ended up losing my nanny. You guys, my nanny
Speaker 1: freaking bounced and left me with like nobody to help
Speaker 1: me take care of my house, my kids, like nothing.
Speaker 1: And you know, listen, I know it's a privilege, and
Speaker 1: I know that I'm very fortunate that I could even
Speaker 1: have somebody, you know what I mean. And at that time,
Speaker 1: we said to her, look, we're we're buckling down, Like
Speaker 1: the only person who's leaving the house is my husband.
Speaker 1: And he had because he has to go to work.
Speaker 1: You know, I had the ability to work from home.
Speaker 1: He didn't, and so, you know, it was one of
Speaker 1: those things where it was just like wow, I got
Speaker 1: like hit in the face with just a bunch of
Speaker 1: responsibilities that I never really had to worry about before,
Speaker 1: you know, so like how did that work out? It
Speaker 1: was probably one of the more challenging things that happened
Speaker 1: in my life. Like, I mean, honestly, I was sitting around,
Speaker 1: I had mountains of laundry, like on the couch by
Speaker 1: the way, we had a new puppy. My kids aren't
Speaker 1: going to school, the dog is running away with socks.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just so overwhelming. Don't a bit
Speaker 1: comming get them in the middle of COVID, I know, right,
Speaker 1: And I said, I was like I said to myself,
Speaker 1: I was like, why on earth would I ever agree
Speaker 1: to allow my husband to have this freaking dog? But no,
Speaker 1: it was me. And then he gets to go to work,
Speaker 1: he gets to leave the house, you know. But then
Speaker 1: it was just like, you know, I feel like, if anything,
Speaker 1: the one thing that I got out of that is
Speaker 1: that our family is so solid now, you know, we
Speaker 1: found a way my kids. Question, do you feel like
Speaker 1: a better mom. Now, you know, I feel like a
Speaker 1: different mom. You know. I know that I've always been
Speaker 1: a great mother to my kids. I've always been very connected,
Speaker 1: and that was like one of the things that I
Speaker 1: loved about working on a morning show was that I
Speaker 1: had the ability to take my kids to their after
Speaker 1: school activities, to be that mom that would do all
Speaker 1: of those things. You know. I know some moms that
Speaker 1: work feel terrible, you know, like I don't get to
Speaker 1: be around as much. So I guess lucky you that,
Speaker 1: you know, you get to be arounding the afternoons a
Speaker 1: d percent. But no, you know what it is. It's
Speaker 1: like my husband and I became closer. He started it
Speaker 1: to see the things that I was doing where he
Speaker 1: was like wow, like damn, like how are you doing
Speaker 1: this all? You know? And it's like that's what I
Speaker 1: got out of it was the acknowledgement, Like sometimes you
Speaker 1: don't mind carrying the heavy load as long as somebody
Speaker 1: acknowledges you or recognizes you, you know, Like that whole
Speaker 1: phrase about being seen. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: just want to be seen, you know, like they want
Speaker 1: to have somebody say to them. I can't believe you're
Speaker 1: doing all of these things, you know. So for me,
Speaker 1: I guess like just having that bond with my family
Speaker 1: that I know they will never forget it. Like my
Speaker 1: boys before, like you were saying, I would go to
Speaker 1: industry things on a Wednesday night not put them to bed,
Speaker 1: or I would have to go to like you know,
Speaker 1: an event in the middle of the afternoon and not
Speaker 1: get home until eight o'clock and they had already had
Speaker 1: their whole day, you know. But like figuring out, like
Speaker 1: you needed to balance on how to also set my
Speaker 1: boundaries while at home, because now it all just kind
Speaker 1: of blurs together, you know, it all just blurs together,
Speaker 1: and you gotta find sayes Like you say, there is
Speaker 1: no separation now between my work life and I start
Speaker 1: working in PAGs at seven am before I would get
Speaker 1: into like nine ten, So it's like three hours has
Speaker 1: been added to my work day. And no matter what
Speaker 1: time it is, I will jump on my computer at
Speaker 1: work because it's right there. Before I would leave my
Speaker 1: computer at work, it was there, my office was there.
Speaker 1: Now No now my office is wherever I am. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's true, and there are
Speaker 1: a lot of people where relationships like where I say, like,
Speaker 1: I built the relationship with my husband and my kids,
Speaker 1: and you know, we got through this whole thing together.
Speaker 1: But like there are certain people who I really did
Speaker 1: during this time, had to say, you know what, this
Speaker 1: isn't healthy for me. You know, I had a friend
Speaker 1: who was extremely critical, like what okay. So for example,
Speaker 1: like on the part of Long Island where I live at,
Speaker 1: people throw money at their problems, right like, oh, we'll
Speaker 1: just hire a new nanny, We'll just hire a cleaning lady,
Speaker 1: We'll just hire this or hire that. I'm like, first
Speaker 1: of all, I'm super scared of inviting anybody into my home.
Speaker 1: And I'm going back like, however, many months like not now,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that we've also like we we've
Speaker 1: worked through a lot of those things, and I think
Speaker 1: that we feel a little bit more freedom now. But
Speaker 1: you know, my I would go to my friend almost
Speaker 1: to just vent and like ask her to listen to me,
Speaker 1: and she was constantly trying to fix my problem, like
Speaker 1: you need to hire maid, you need to hire new nanny,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't want to just introduce random
Speaker 1: people to my kids, Like if you're going to come
Speaker 1: into my home, you're gonna grow and be a part
Speaker 1: of the family. Like that's how we've always handled, you know,
Speaker 1: people in our home. And so it got to a
Speaker 1: point where I was like, you know, I think I
Speaker 1: might need to take a break from this person because
Speaker 1: I just I'm not appreciating to input and the pressure.
Speaker 1: But like, did you ever have to cut anybody out
Speaker 1: throughout this time, like or have you just been kind
Speaker 1: of a little bit more distant, Like how have the
Speaker 1: relationships fired? Um? No, pretty much everyone that was important
Speaker 1: and anyone who's been a part of my life, you know,
Speaker 1: for my whole life. You know, I know a lot
Speaker 1: of my ens from high school, they were all solid.
Speaker 1: Everyone was you know, just good, amazing people. Like I
Speaker 1: didn't lose anyone that I truly loved or that was
Speaker 1: truly important in my life. Yeah. No, And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying I'm not speaking ill of this friend. I felt
Speaker 1: like I just needed some space, you know, because it's
Speaker 1: like sometimes you just want to tell people how you feel.
Speaker 1: You don't want them to solve your problems, Like I
Speaker 1: wasn't going to you to something, and I'm like, and
Speaker 1: it's not about the money for me, It's about the relationship,
Speaker 1: Like I want my kids to not feel like there's
Speaker 1: a rotating door, you know, Like some people don't care,
Speaker 1: they'll hire whoever. They're just like, I need to get
Speaker 1: my bathrooms clean, you know. I'm like, no, No, it's
Speaker 1: your life, it's your kids. And it's just there's so
Speaker 1: many weird people out your Carolina. Honestly, Like, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna have these people, let's say, helping your kids with baiting,
Speaker 1: with dressing you have, there's gonna be somebody you trust
Speaker 1: and somebody who's part of your family. You can't just
Speaker 1: have transient people every few months, a new person with
Speaker 1: your two little voice, you know what I'm saying exactly.
Speaker 1: And that's why it's been even harder, you know, Like
Speaker 1: now we're getting back into the rhythm of like a
Speaker 1: lot of people are going back into the station, a
Speaker 1: lot of people are going back into work, and I
Speaker 1: you know, I just said I need some flexibility right now.
Speaker 1: And that's really kind of like the key for me
Speaker 1: is I need you guys to be flexible and understand
Speaker 1: like I still got these two little boys that I'm
Speaker 1: taking care of, you know, And it's like, slowly but surely,
Speaker 1: I know the right person is going to come along.
Speaker 1: Don't get me started on finding childcare right now during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Girl, you know what's like somebody who would
Speaker 1: have worked for ten an hour before, let's say they're
Speaker 1: not trying to do it now. Girl, you crazy. I'm
Speaker 1: living my life. I'm in Mexico right now. And imagine
Speaker 1: let's say you're a Dominican right yeah, you can go
Speaker 1: back to Dominican Republic. Your unemployment hit your bank account
Speaker 1: every week. You're stacked. Girl? You are you a p
Speaker 1: P P? Who is rich? Okay, give me all of
Speaker 1: the acronyms. I don't care. Give them all to me.
Speaker 1: I need it or you know that's really I feel
Speaker 1: like we have so much that we need to talk about,
Speaker 1: so many things that we need to cover that we've
Speaker 1: missed throughout the time. But I just wanted this first
Speaker 1: episode back to let you guys know like where we are,
Speaker 1: what space we're in, you know, and like we're going
Speaker 1: to get back to the salon and answering your questions.
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy. I saw Lebron James so in
Speaker 1: the barbershop. I saw it, like, come up on my
Speaker 1: TV s, I say, Carolina, actually that was supposed to
Speaker 1: be us in the damn Salon. Actual, absolutely no, this
Speaker 1: is just a great way for us to come back
Speaker 1: in and let you know that we've been thinking about
Speaker 1: you and we're just so glad that we can get
Speaker 1: back on track. And you know, our ideal situation would
Speaker 1: be as many episodes as we can and cover the
Speaker 1: topics that you guys want to talk about. You know
Speaker 1: for sure, because I'm sorry. This podcast is like none other,
Speaker 1: and you know we were innovators when it comes to this,
Speaker 1: you know, life and Spanguish podcast, and it's good. You
Speaker 1: know New Yorker's people in Jersey, you know Latina's second generation.
Speaker 1: They just need us. They need what we're doing here,
Speaker 1: and we're here to serve. We're gonna give it to you.
Speaker 1: I know, I love it, and you know, whether it
Speaker 1: is tips on what we're eating. I saw Honey was
Speaker 1: pouring herself some coffee, some cafe Bustello with some evaporated
Speaker 1: milk or some ship. I think that's hard over there. Listen.
Speaker 1: I think that. Listen. I saw it on TikTok and
Speaker 1: I think meal my mom used to make Modri Sonyando
Speaker 1: with it. That's a Dominican drink where you mix orange
Speaker 1: juice with a little sugar, a little vanilla, and it
Speaker 1: is like a drink that we live by. So I
Speaker 1: tried it with a little brown sugar. But I need
Speaker 1: to stay off TikTok because I don't want to get
Speaker 1: that drinking that milk. I'm sure that milk gotta be
Speaker 1: fanning us out. Oh my gosh, come on, no, But
Speaker 1: we want to give you our tips and our tricks.
Speaker 1: And you know, honey, you were mentioning something about like
Speaker 1: me getting out there, putting myself out there. I was
Speaker 1: doing reels, I was doing a bunch of stuff and
Speaker 1: then like I've just found that with the kids going
Speaker 1: back to school, Carly. First of all, I'm like, how
Speaker 1: does this mish look so good? Remember? Remember when I
Speaker 1: used to think you had hair makeup for the morning?
Speaker 1: Was yo? Not? Because you do an amazing job. And
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy? I told I told Bella, do
Speaker 1: you see Carolina's hair? And She's like, listen, you have
Speaker 1: different here like Carolina. You got Domniican here. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna work out that way. Because I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: why I can't do that ship every morning? My, oh

Speaker 1: one trick pony man. I mean, I know how to
Speaker 1: make my face one way. That's it. That's what you're
Speaker 1: getting now. But you look good in those videos. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how is this woman doing this? Because I knew you
Speaker 1: weren't bringing in no hair makeup to the house. How
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? You're being so creative and so
Speaker 1: innovative with the videos. I loved it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: she's stepping out of her comfort zone. And I knew,
Speaker 1: you know, that wasn't like your deal. You didn't want
Speaker 1: to look silly, you didn't want to look like you
Speaker 1: were trying. So I was surprised that you even did it.
Speaker 1: But you did it perfectly, like some of your videos
Speaker 1: walking where you did one where you were like fake
Speaker 1: go into an award show. Oh my gosh, wait, Yeah
Speaker 1: that was hilarious. That was the thing. The inauguration, I
Speaker 1: think it was when Yeah, it was like think about
Speaker 1: something long ago. That was yeah, but I remember it
Speaker 1: because I was like, Yo, this is fucking brilliant. I
Speaker 1: wish I could have done this too. I was jealous,
Speaker 1: good jealous, but I was like, yeah, she's killing it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to get back on track though, No, definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean I and I look at my son and
Speaker 1: I tell him all the time. I'm like, you know,
