00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: few months ago and asked us if she could design

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,320

53
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: really beneficial for y'all to have a website, and I

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,760

Speaker 1: I was in college, since my undergrad days. Like they're

88
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: like when I was like feminist one on one, you know,

89
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: like learning the new language and the new concepts and ideologies.

90
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Like Everyday Feminism was definitely a new source for me,

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: aside from like learning during my feminist studies classes and

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,640

Speaker 1: were published on the Everyday Feminism website, and they focused

98
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: primarily on rape culture and sexual violence in Latin X communities.

99

Speaker 1: a year ago now, which I actually want to go

156
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: to the same move ahead and get them redone. But mamma,

157
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: you know yours was a little more recent. Yeah. I

158
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: this summer went to Colleive Scalpe Collective. Um, shout out,

159
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,480

162
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Collep Scalpe Collective. So I got my cards read and

163
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: it was my first time ever getting my cars read,

164
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: and it was eerie, like the things that she put

165
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: her on and predicted, you know, someone that I've never

166
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: met before, and I didn't like give her any background

167
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: information on myself before I spoke to her. But the

168
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: things that really stood out to me is she told

169
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: me that in the next couple of years, just career wise,

170
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: everything's taking off. Everything's taking off. It's obviously true, true, true, true, true.

171
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: She started a job Better Job podcast is thriving. And

172
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: then and then, um, she told me that I have

173
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: an ex who has sticky energy, who was always right

174
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: on top of me, who monitors all my social If

175
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: you're listening to this X, you know who you know,

176
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: exactly who you are, because there's well there's only one

177
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: could be help right now and stop listening. Stop listening.

178
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: You're not welcome here anyway. So um, I got So

179
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: that was like another big thing that she pointed out

180
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: and it was true. So that same day I leave

181
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: my card reading, I'm hanging out with Monica after you know,

182
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the woman told me that my X has sticky energy

183
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: and is always watching me. The same day, he calls

184
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: me three times and at the time I had um uh,

185
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, a Samsung and Android, and you can see

186
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: you're blocked numbers. You can see when they're trying to

187
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: call you. It doesn't um ring, but you it's in

188
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: your call log like recent calls, missed calls, and it'll

189
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: have like the blue cross out symbol next say, while

190
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, so you can actually a

191
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: good feature iPhone to do that. It's a good feature.

192
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: So you're not getting notified that the call is coming in,

193
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: but you can clearly see there. So I got like

194
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: two misscalls from dude, and I was like, sticky energy

195
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: is correct. So she again dragged me for filled through

196
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: the mud, through the dirt, through hell, and through high water,

197
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: and I came out better for it on the other good. Good, right,

198
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: that's good. It was good. I'm going to need another,

199
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, twenty six years of life before I can

200
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: get my cards read again. That's going to be my increment.

201
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: But you know, so, yeah, that was my experience getting

202
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: my cards read. I got my car. It's read over

203
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: a year ago, like I mentioned, And for me, the

204
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: purpose of getting them read was actually because I wanted

205
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: a Limbia because I had had some like wow, that

206
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: ship happened to me. I've like finally like the relationship

207
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: that would never end finally ended. And um, I felt

208
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: like my life was like just a mess, you know,

209
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: in spite of like the podcast was like still growing

210
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: and doing well. This is like we were still like

211
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: a younger, Like in our first year of podcasting, we

212
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: were younger then yeah, yeah maybe just like yeah, a

213
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: couple of months into podcasting. Anyway, I went because I

214
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: went to get Olympia. And what she does is she

215
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: actually reads your cards before you get Olympia and will

216
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: determine if you even need Olympia. Yeah, so I went,

217
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: got my cards read, and she basically told me, like,

218
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: the universe has been sending you messages to get this

219
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: person out of your life and been ignoring it, which

220
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: is why now there's this huge blow up. Literally it

221
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: took catastrophe for you to finally get it. So that

222
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: to your bad, because the universe has been sending you

223
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: messages and you know this person may or may not

224
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: come back into your life, but not in a romantic way. Um.

225
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: And she also told me that I was on path,

226
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: which was really affirming because I was still at the job,

227
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: my former job, but the podcast has still and has

228
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: been the priority, like my main were like all my

229
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: heart and passion is so she basically told me I

230
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: was on path and then my fam I had a

231
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: really strong foundation and what I was doing was what

232
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: I was meant to be doing and that I was

233
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: only going to keep growing and thriving and basically to

234
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: like listen to the universe when I'm getting messages sent

235
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: to me and stop ignoring them. So the same thing,

236
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: like I feel like she dragged me. She like, you know,

237
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: and she told me like everything that I needed to

238
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: hear was very affirming. And also at the time I

239
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: was questioning, like am I a shitty person? Like I was?

240
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: Really I felt like like, oh my god, like I'm horrible,

241
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, And yes, like I was doing some shitty

242
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: things right, um, but like learned from these mistakes and

243
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: these like toxic patterns and have obviously been working through

244
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: that and changing, so like shout out to myself in

245
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: the therapy, right. But then so then anyway, so then

246
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: she's like, you don't need Olympia, and I was like,

247
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: are you sure. She's like she said, I mean I

248
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: can hit you with some leaves if you want, with

249
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: some palms, like I can. I can beat you up

250
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: if you want me to, but you don't need it.

251
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, I mean if I don't

252
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: need it, then you're telling me I don't need it, right,

253
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: And she was like a trusted healer, like came highly

254
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: recommended from one of our friends. So that was why

255
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: I went good question. Thank you for that question. Um. Next,

256
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: next question shout out to Edith. She's one of our listeners,

257
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: a fellow Petwana, one of my i G friends, and

258
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: she asked on the Instagram, how do you manage balancing work, relationships, family, love, housework, podcasting,

259
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: and self care. I love to know how you both

260
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: manage to be so productive and stay so fly. I'm

261
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: out of breath just reading that, because we do all

262
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: of that, don't wait, we do all these things. I

263
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: mean all of us, most of us listening. I can

264
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: say we probably all do this. Yeah. You know what

265
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: I try to do is, UM, I try to compartmentalize

266
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes, UM, I don't see my family as much

267
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: because I have all this other ship going on and

268
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm working, and you know, part of it is like

269
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: we're working all day. Maybe I stopped by the house

270
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: before doing second shift, which is podcast stuff, you know,

271
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: So I'm home, but I'm leaving in five minutes. I'm sorry.

272
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: I love you all. Get to see is high and by.

273
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: It's a lot of high and by. But then when

274
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: I have stretches of time when I can just like

275
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: put my phone down and just be like with my grandma,

276
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: be with my parents, I try and then separate and

277
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: dedicate that time to them. So I've sort of had

278
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: to just kind of compartmentalize, but they understand, and I've

279
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: sort of had brief conversations with my family about like,

280
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm this is not the first time

281
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: I've had to leave to go do something awesome, even

282
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: though you see me like I'm not here. Like when

283
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: I went to college, I left and I didn't come

284
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: home for Thanksgiving for four years. And then when I

285
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: studied abroad in London, I left and I wasn't home

286
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: for Christmas. And so they are very much the type

287
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: of people who because of like wanting me to do

288
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: well and explore and sky's the limit is their sort

289
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: of attitude like with their kids, which I appreciate. They're

290
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: like no go, like my grandma will give me, will

291
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: give me, ship, will give me a hard time that

292
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm never at home, and you know, that's when I

293
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: hear the guy I had at comments. But from my parents,

294
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: especially my mom, she's like, now is the time, go go,

295
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: go go. My dad used to always say, you know,

296
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: we raise you so you can leave. We raise you

297
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: to leave. We don't raise you to keep you here

298
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: under our thumb. We raise you to leave. So they

299
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate that from them, and I think they also

300
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: know that, like um, family and life is very It

301
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: comes and goes in stages and in cycles, and there

302
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: will be a period of time where I have my

303
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: kids and I'll be around them all the time, you know,

304
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: where there's down seasons and I'll you know. So I

305
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: appreciate their flexibility in that way. So they helped me

306
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot to remain uh, to diversify my life and

307
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: to productive and all that good stuff. UM I would say, UM,

308
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: I try my best to have a schedule that I

309
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: stick to, whether that be like in my passion planner

310
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: or on my phone. UM I try to, like, for instance, Tuesdays,

311
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I try to not send. It doesn't always happen. But

312
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: I try my best not to schedule any meetings UM

313
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays, like after work, because those are my therapy days.

314
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: So my therapy days are when I go to therapy

315
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: and I go grocery shopping and i'm meal prep and

316
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: I clean and I try to read before bed, like

317
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: I really try to make Tuesday evenings like mine, um,

318
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: which is not always possible. Sometimes we do have to

319
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: take meetings on a Tuesday, you know, And but I

320
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: do my best to make Tuesday's mine. So that would

321
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: be how I balance the housework and the self care

322
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: and even just being at home is being home on

323
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday after therapy UM. And I will say that sometimes

324
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: it gets kind of kind of kind of sticky, kind

325
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: of messy, kind of sad. And I would say that

326
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: people that are in grad school, people that are have

327
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: like side hustle's probably experience this that we as well.

328
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: But you're not always going to be there for family stuff.

329
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: Like it was my Madrina seventie seventy third birthday on Thursday,

330
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: which is when we were at the snapchat like you

331
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: know thing, and my family was like sending me pictures

332
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, we missed you and we missed you.

333
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: And it's like, I know you're not trying to guilt me,

334
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: but I also feel a little guilty. But I also

335
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: had this really great opportunity for work for the podcast,

336
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, So it's like kind of like a give

337
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: and take, like I'm not going to be able to

338
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: be there for everything, and you're my family is not

339
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: always going to understand the why, you know, but it

340
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: is what it is, and I'm going to have like

341
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to do what I have to do to

342
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: keep growing and surviving, and I'm trying not to feel

343
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: bad about it. And this isn't like every single time, right,

344
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: but there are times where it's like, oh yeah, I

345
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: do feel a little guilty. I couldn't go, you know,

346
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: but it is what it is, Like, I'm going to

347
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: keep this is my this is my career in in

348
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: some ways, you know, in many ways. And it's well,

349
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: the podcast is increasingly becoming more and more more and

350
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: more professional for us, and so then meaning that there's

351
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: more um at stake if we don't go, if we

352
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: don't keep going. And it's interesting because I think with

353
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: family and friends, like I haven't had any issues with

354
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: friends as far as like anybody making comments or trying

355
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: to make me feel guilty for missing things. Like my

356
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: friends are very supportive and our friends are often with us,

357
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: involved in our events and stuff anyway, So like our

358
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: friends are part of the podcasting. But um, you know,

359
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: people like are like to be able to say like,

360
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: oh my friends do cool things or friends with X,

361
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: Y and Z people, or my niece does this or

362
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: my daughter does that. But you only get bragging rights

363
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: once we get there exactly, So what about like all

364
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: the work it's to actually get there, you know what

365
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean. So it's that it's that balance. But I

366
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: definitely have not mastered a balance. I get very time

367
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: working on it. I Yeah, and I've been trying, Like

368
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm not dating, so that's not a part of the

369
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: balancing act right now at all. It's really all podcast work,

370
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: family friends, podcast work, family friends, like as much as possible. Yeah, well,

371
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: I think like in my relationship, um, we both really

372
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: value what we do. Like he he knows that the

373
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: podcast is a really big part of my life and

374
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: is supportive, so knows that Saturdays are off limits right

375
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: Like Saturday's are are my podcast days, and he also

376
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: works Saturdays because he works in the community, so he

377
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: has events, you know, so we both get it. Um,

378
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: we're both really supportive of our careers and what we're doing.

379
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, if your partner's not supporting how you

380
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: want to grow, then I think you need to reevaluate that,

381
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: you know, because ultimately, I think your family and this

382
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: isn't always the case, but your family and your friends,

383
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: your partner should want to see you grow and thrive.

384
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: And they can't keep up with you, well, then that's

385
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: on them. That's really on them. And sometimes people grow

386
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: just in different directions and we're just going in different directions.

387
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: We need, you know, different things, and that's okay. Yeah,

388
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: it's really really fine. I agree complete any other or

389
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: you look ask questions or we good there. I think

390
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: we're good there. We do. We do have a guest.

391
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: We do have a guest coming up, so I think

392
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: we'll pause here to go into our song break. So

393
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: I just want to say, also, like, if you asked

394
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: a question in the recent instagram like, we will be

Speaker 1: Why do they have a store, why don't I have

460
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: a store. Even when I was younger, I was like

461
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: dreaming of opening my own salon. So when I finally

462
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: was getting busy enough where I'm like, I think I

463
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: can do this. I think I can train girls under

464
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: me and do it, you know, my way, and hopefully

465
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: create like a team and just open my own place.

466
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: And it just snowballed. And thank god, that just kept

467
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: going and going and we never, um, well We've had

468
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: a few hiccups, but never anything where I'm like I

469
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: need to close. It's just it's just so much a

470
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: boil from everybody that it's just been doing so good.

471
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: So I opened my second one and I'm so happy.

472
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm so excited to even have like the

473
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: support from the Hispanic community. So how did you get

474
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 1: into the beauty industry? Like, how did what is your

475
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: origin story? How did you start? I've always liked makeup

476
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: since I was a little girl. Um, Like I said,

477
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: I used to like like play with barbies and make

478
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: make them like be in a little beauty salon. Um.

479
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: And then just what always do my friends makeup? I

480
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: would do like their eyebrows ejinior high um and just

481
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: always wanted to be in the beauty industry. Unfortunately, you know,

482
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: in the Hispanic maybe in other communities, UM, a lot

483
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: of like our elders are like, oh, this is like right.

484
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: So I actually went to school UM for health information

485
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: management and that has absolutely nothing to do with this,

486
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: and but everybody was like, you have to teach your degree,

487
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: you have to you know, be a nurse, be a doctor,

488
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: like you know, do something else. So I was like, no,

489
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: I want to do makeup and eyebrow. Well. I think

490
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: also in the last few years being a makeup artist,

491
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: we've seen like the actual career like business part of

492
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: and I would say that that's really due to social

493
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: media that we've been able to see the business side

494
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: of being a makeup artist, being um, a brow like specialist, hairstylists,

495
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: like any type of beauty, cosmetology, artistry is like really,

496
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: I feel like we're at a point where we can

497
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: really value it for its artistry and it's you know,

498
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: also economic side of it. Yeah, it's just crazy. Like

499
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: back in the day, you thought you can never make

500
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: a living off of um, you know, eyebrows. You would think, yeah,

501
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: a hairdresser, but never just a makeup person or a

502
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: hair I'm sorry brow artists, Like I never thought it

503
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: would get to where it was. And thank God for

504
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: social media because that's where I really started, um you know,

505
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: branching out and getting more and more clients and um

506
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: most of my clienteles and meeting amazing people throughout the way.

507
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: So that was a big, big health Yeah, for sure.

508
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: Do you do you see a lot of other Latina

509
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: beauty experts, makeup artists really thriving off of social media.

510
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: Is that like a place where like you're in good company? Yeah, definitely.

511
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: I feel like just Latinas in general, I feel like

512
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: we're taking over, Like we're really like doing everything. Um like,

513
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: not not to dis men, but I really think Latinas

514
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: are taking over and social media is a way to go.

515
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: That's just the way to get your audience, um, to

516
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: pay attention and to see all your work and you

517
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: have a big big audience for marketing and stuff there

518
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and just we are were all about dissing men here

519
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I don't have to preface it. Girls

520
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: taking over, you know what I mean. There's a lot

521
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: of women business owners and Latinas are like we have

522
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: a lot of economic power in like what we put

523
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: our money to, which is why I mean, I think

524
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: we're big proponents of like reinvesting it into our community.

525
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: So like supporting local businesses, local artists, like that is

526
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: something that we're really about because it really does come

527
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: back to our community. No, absolutely, and I even think

528
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: about like like my grandma and my mom even used

529
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: to sell like avon, So there's even historically there's that

530
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: inclination of dipping into the beauty industry to supplement your income.

531
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: That's not foreign to us, like elders like Modes and

532
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: our community have worked in beauty, not with this such

533
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: autonomy though an ownership over it. But I feel that

534
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: big time. I feel like UM and word of mouth

535
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: too is big in our community too. If if you

536
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 1: hear like your you know she's really good, and then

537
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna go yeah. Or then if you just go

538
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: and yelp and reading y'all review, you're going to go

539
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: to who your friends you know, refer you to. When

540
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: I was looking for somebody to cut my hair, I

541
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: went to Tons person a beauty box. Um because it's

542
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: Latina owns and all the stylists are all Modes or

543
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: Latinas beauty box on sunset plug plug plug Yeah, absolutely,

544
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: So the mouth is really powerful. Where the mouth is powerful,

545
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: that goes into and you know, uh kind of bringing

546
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: it back to other themes we've talked about on the

547
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: podcast before. We've talked about cheese Man on the podcast

548
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: before there's good cheese Man, Oh my god, spreading business,

549
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah good, And then we've also talked about fem tech

550
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: and makeup from tech. Yes, so there's a science behind

551
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: If you haven't into that Capitolo, it's one of our

552
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: earlier ones. That's like I think foundational caplo what we're about. Um,

553
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: but there's so much science and math and chemistry and

554
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: physics and all that ship. Like makeup is like incredibly scientific,

555
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: like not only the production but even just like the

556
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: symmetry in putting your winging your eyeliner and finding the

557
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: perfect shade, Like there is so much science to that

558
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: and we value that and we value you that are

559
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: well as I've been doing it. Our ancestors have been

560
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: playing with makeup in some type of artistic and scientific

561
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: way for centuries. Yeah, So like for you and as

562
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: far as like perfecting your craft and your training and

563
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: thinking of like makeup and symmetry and brows like you know,

564
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: as being like a technical skill, Like what is your

565
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: sort of take on that? Like where do you see

566
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: like that really technical side of makeup? Um, I really

567
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: feel like I like where we're at right now. I

568
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: like that there's like I feel like throughout the years,

569
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: like we have gone through like the eighties, and we've

570
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: gone through like the Cholas, and we've gone through like

571
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, getting nuts for it's really thick in certain communities,

572
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: and then now I feel like we just kind of

573
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: are all across the board whatever saw you want. They

574
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: have glitter brows, they have you know, just all the

575
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: people are just like have you guys noticed there's just

576
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: like not one trend now, there's just like everybody has

577
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: their own trends. So I feel like that's that's for

578
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: what I love right now. But the beauty world that

579
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: it's so just multiversal, like everybody is just doing what

580
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: they want and it's very um how do I say

581
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: very like your that's how you express yourself, like the

582
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: autonomy to choose how your brows even look like either

583
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: thin or bold or however even the color. And I

584
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: just love working with people on their eyebrows too. It

585
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: just brings out their face, can make you look younger, right, right,

586
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: can you talk about um for you? I'm I can

587
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: imagine that you see a lot of this, like that

588
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: confidence boosts that you see in your clients when they

589
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: get their brows done, or even how that is also

590
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: empowering for them. UM. I really love to just have

591
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: them smile afterwards, and just like the way their eyebrows,

592
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: Like I'm certain I brought their eyes irows at. Um.

593
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: It's just like especially with microblading. Um, you know, we

594
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: add hair to where they didn't have hair. We have

595
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot of women who did over tweets you know

596
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: high school. I did too. UM, And it just really UM,

597
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: it's very fulfilling. Although it can I mean it is

598
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: a little superficial, you know when I think about it,

599
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: but it isn't because at the end of the day,

600
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, it makes someone feel better about themselves. UM.

601
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: We try to do a lot of stuff like I

602
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, like the what you were saying the

603
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: American Cancer Society, So we do a lot of stuff

604
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: for them, and UM, get back to cancer patients. Um,

605
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: We've done all the piecia of patients and we try

606
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: to do some provo and stuff. There are people, So

607
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: that makes me feel so good that I mean, I

608
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything superficial about wanting to feel good.

609
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: So I like, I know, like, so my mom actually

610
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: has like very thin eyebrows, and we were trying to

611
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: figure it out because none of us have thin eyebrows

612
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: like my mom like barely has like any So we

613
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: were trying to figure out, like, Okay, when did this start?

614
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: And we found we realized that back in the day,

615
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: in the nineties, my mom used to dye her eyebrows

616
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: with like the hair products that you would put in

617
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: your hair. So I'm like, you burn your eyebrows off essentially, right,

618
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: So I know, like some like my mom was too

619
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: afraid to do tattooing, like I wrote tattooings. So I

620
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: feel like now the microblading is a thing, like that's

621
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: something that she could do and would she would feel

622
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: better about her eyebrows. That's happy media. Yeah. Yeah, and

623
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't last as long, so it's not as permanent, right,

624
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: um so, but it definitely has hair. It looks great,

625
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: it looks very natural, it does microblading is beautiful. I

626
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of love this because how much of like, like

627
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: the beauty technology now kind of allows us I'm thinking

628
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: older women especially. This is where this conversation is going back.

629
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: How much of the current technology is allowing like older

630
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: women to like still participate in beauty and revive the

631
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: damage that's been done from years of like old beauty

632
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: practices that are more damaging. Right, my mom used to

633
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: put baby all on her skin and go out in

634
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: the sun like to cook. Yes, the skins you have

635
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,959
Speaker 1: like all these freckles on her back because she would

636
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: put baby al on in the speech, So do you

637
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: see a lot of that, like older women coming in

638
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: and women you're able to kind of bring it back exactly.

639
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: That's um. That And again that's something that I love

640
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: to do, is you know, make them really happy about

641
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: looking good. Um. And most of my clients are older women,

642
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: Like you would think I did have a lot of

643
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: younger women, but honestly, most of my clients are older there,

644
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: you know, between thirties and up. That's amazing because I

645
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: love that we need to like value the beauty in

646
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: our older women and older meaning like not twenties and

647
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: not thirties, because there's so much emphasis on that in

648
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: any market right, prime, our prime right. And so I

649
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: think that's amazing that you made that point that your

650
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: clients are older women and are probably mothers, probably even grandmother's,

651
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: you know, and they are also still taking care of

652
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: themselves and like I mean, I know, like Mala, you

653
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: like our mom's like six to month in and Sequi

654
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: and Muncho like they love to be And my mom

655
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: has always taken very good care of herself and has

656
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: continued to participate in the glam she she loves it.

657
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: So it is my mom. Yeah, and I think that

658
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: also you can see that in us because Marma exactly.

659
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: It does trickle down, for sure, it does trickle down.

660
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: So what is the future for the brow guru? Like

661
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: where do you see yourself off? And how do you

662
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: want to grow this or like what's the what's the future? Like,

663
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: I have a couple of things in the works, um,

664
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna kind of give a little bit

665
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: of hints away because I don't want to like totally

666
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: say it, but we do. I've been trying to start

667
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: to do a lot of microblating classes, um, and I

668
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: love teaching. It's actually like awakened, like something else in

669
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: me that I'm like, I really like this, So I

670
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: feel like I want to do a school eventually, but

671
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: I want like a real school. Like I'm not saying

672
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: like there are real schools out there, but I wanted

673
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: to be like fast, but like I want to be

674
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: able to the government to recognize the UM. I want

675

Speaker 1: women to be able to get college loans. I want,

676
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: like any loan that you can get, I want to

Speaker 1: be able to tap into that and be able to

678
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: provide it to the community. UM like an accredited, accredited

Speaker 1: school school and not just like you have schools that

680
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: are like like your Marianello's or your Western Media where

681
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: you're getting your education, but then you take all your

682
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: extra courses out of your pocket and you're learning from

683
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, these big gurus like mac Daddy or whoever,

684
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: and you're paying him separate. And then it's like, no,

693
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: or like independent beauty schools that I knew of? There

694
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: was Western Beauty they just opened UM in Chatsworth in

695
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: the Valley. I'm sure there's some more out here. Um

696
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of these schools are mainly like community

697
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: colleges right now or UM or they're just like Barbara.

698
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: I haven't seen like any like really big schools lately.

699
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: That's kind of hard to get funding. Very interesting, life interesting.

702
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: Um So we want to start like a this is

703
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: not going to be the legit name, but like a

704
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: boss babe seminar for women kind of like you guys

705
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,440

709
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: a big conference we've done. Yeah. Um So I want

710
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: something like that, but I want it very business base

711
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of women are doing

712
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: things like you know, baking cakes and like making cake

713
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: pops or um they make jewelry, and I just feel

714
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: like they don't know where to go for the next step.

715
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: And I want to have a conference where it's like,

716
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: this is how you get your business license, this is

717
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: how you open a corporation, this is how legally we

718
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: need that, and that let us know we've been talking

719
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: about those things. That's so funny. It's a lot of work,

720
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: and I try to It took me years to figure

721
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: this out all of my own. Nobody helped me. I

722
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: just and I even pulled out so many licenses and

723
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: permits and all the stuff that I even got fined

724
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: because they're like, you shouldn't have even pulled that out.

725
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: You don't need this, and so out Like I feel like, okay,

726
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: did this all on my own. Let me give back

727
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: and teach people how to do it. Brilliant that that's amazing. Yeah, definitely,

728
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: you're obviously giving back to the community, and a skill

729
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: share and knowledge share is really important. Especially I feel

730
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: like so many Latinas have the capacity and ability to

731
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: open up their own businesses. But it's like you said,

732
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: where do I start? Where do I start? And even

733
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: little things like how do I know if I'm not

734
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: getting screwed over on this rent right, you know, like,

735
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: how do I sign a proper contract? You know, who

736
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: do you ask? Like that? Yeah? Absolutely, this is all amazing,
