Unfortunately, and this that shooting in Uvalde, Texas 11 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: it happened. I mean I came off the high of 12 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: the show and then had something else to do and 13 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: then went to pick up my from daycare, and my 14 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: husband decided to just text me the news, and I 15 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: mean I had to pull over like it was to 16 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: my knees devastating. And I think my biggest fear now 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: is that people are gonna go back to business as usual. 18 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 3: I don't know what the alternative. 19 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: I don't want to go back to business as usual. 20 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: And I've like I did something the next day because 21 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: I just woke up and I was just like it 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: was so heavy, and I just put up my vacation 23 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: responder saying that I was going to be taking some 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: time off to to mourn the losses of life. It 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 2: was just after Buffalo, you know, I know we're going 26 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: to have after Buffalo. I just nineteen babies and their 27 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: teacher and their two teachers. 28 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: Yes, when I saw that, you know, because I used 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: to be a teacher, I don't even know the level 30 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: of terror those kids must have gone through, and their teachers. 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't imagine, because when you're teaching, literally 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: especially little ones, this weird thing comes over you where 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: you're like, well, this is my child now, like when 34 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: I was as soon as I entered into the classroom, 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: when you drop your baby off, that's my baby too, 36 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: because since we could fight, like you know, like I 37 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: love your child like just as much as you do 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: when they're here with me. So I can't imagine how 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: they must have felt, the teachers that were in there, 40 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: how terrified they were for themselves, but especially because that's 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: what happens. Like it could be me going to the 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: park with the kids and just like a strange person 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: standing around, I mean, the mama bear that used to 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: come out of me. I'm like, why are you at 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: this park? Well, I just know I need you to 46 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: walk away. I can't come to the park, not why 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: the kids are here because you have just this weird look, 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and if it takes us to fight, sir, I'll send 49 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: the kids back and we could tell. Like literally, that's 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: how I was like. But honestly, I found that most 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: teachers of little ones were like them too, So I 52 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: can't even I can't even imagine. I saw one father. 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know why I watched it because I 54 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: was hysteriic after of how he was just like, I 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: just want my baby back, Like what, I just want 56 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: my baby bag? 57 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: What do you want me to say? There's nothing to 58 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: be said. I want my and she shouldn't.

I struggle with 63 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: the whole I know self care is important, and I 64 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: know that we have to kind of protect ourselves from 65 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: the news, but I didn't want to protect myself. I 66 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: wanted to read the names. I wanted to read the 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: minute by minute account of the shooting. I wanted to 68 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: understand how it happened, as painful as it was and 69 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: continues to be. I don't know that I'm not ready 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: to stop I just don't want to not care. I 71 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: don't want to not talk about it. You know, it's 72 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: heavy and devastating and terrifying. Who else is going to 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: save babies? Like the people that we've elected into power, 74 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: I mean, they're not doing shit. They ain't doing a 75 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: damn thing. And I'm like, as a mom, as a 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 2: human you don't have to be a mom, forget that 77 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: a human being, yeah, you know where what I'm just like, 78 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: what can we do to save the children, the babies 79 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 2: who are happy to learn? 80 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: In general? Because I saw someone said, which is so true. 81 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: It's like nothing says that we need to ban these 82 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: like automatic assault rifles, then police being afraid to go 83 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: in because they have an automatical salt rifle. I mean, 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: what does it take? One thing I will say that 85 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: gave me a little like that shave a little bit 86 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: off of my feeling disheartened is to see all those 87 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: people protesting in Texas and I think, rally, yes, that 88 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: we've turned a corner that people are like, okay, Governor this. 89 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm hoping that when election time comes, I'm 90 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: hoping that you know that people are just like enough 91 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: are right? Because what does it take? Because at some point, 92 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: everyone's going to know somebody who has who has been 93 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: a victim of school shooting or something tragic like that, 94 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's school like in Buffalo, the supermarket, 95 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: a church, at some point, everyone's gonna say my mom, 96 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: my sister, and my cousin, my son, Like what's happening here? 97 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: You know. I was reading the statistic that I guess 98 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: at one point when President Clinton was president, he had 99 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: banned the set you know, the automatic assault rifles, and 100 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: gun violence went down like forty three percent, and then 101 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: it was lifted and gun violence increased by like two 102 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: hundred I think, and forty. 103 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: Three fired right, Like I'm like, why would that expire? 104 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: Like we're gonna get over our issues. 105 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Yes, And there was a direct correlation, like it's up 106 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: like over two hundred percent as a result. So it's 107 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: like bands do work. Like this whole people are like, oh, 108 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: bands don't work. It's like, let's look at the countries 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: where they've enacted those and see how they have almost 110 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: eliminated gun violence. So it's like you have to ask yourself, 111 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: rottle the money, really, really, why won't politicians do anything? 112 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: Because they're on the payroll of those who would benefits 113 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: them to be able to sell these type of assault rifles. 114 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: Did you see the it was It Good run in America? 115 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: That young boy he maybe was like thirteen years old. 116 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: They sent him into a seven to eleven to buy alcohol. Yes, 117 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: they were like, maybe you can't buy alcohol. They send 118 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: him to someplace elf to buy cigarettes. Maybe you can't 119 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: buy cigarettes, all these other places. Then they send him 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: to like a gun show to buy a gun. He 121 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: walked out with a gun. No cold medicine. He can't 122 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: buy alcohol. Cigarettes you can't buy But a thirteen year 123 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: old can buy a gun. 124 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: Can't real yep, but here still here's an assault rifle. 125 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: Thank you for mentioning the protests. It's the only way 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: I want to get up right now in protests. Like 127 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: I've done a good job compartmentalizing, I think. And this 128 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: past weekend just becoming obsessed with seeing my son smile, 129 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: just obsessed. I would do anything to make her smile. 130 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 2: And you know what, I broke my body for that 131 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: child this week. And like I've not slept as hard 132 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: as I slept. I went to bed at eight fifteen 133 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: last night, and I slept until seven fifty six this morning. 134 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: Like that is how hard I went, and I think 135 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: I was just pouring all the energy into just like 136 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: what can I do? But there's more than that. You 137 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: mentioned the protesting and about the power of these elected 138 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: officials and who do we want in power? And the 139 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: fact of the matter is that, like, do not get 140 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: it twisted. There's actually legislation already that's been passed in 141 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: the House and has been stymied in the Senate because 142 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: they need more. They need at least sixty votes to 143 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: pass the filibuster, which is what you know Republicans and 144 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: Democrats have used it to. If you don't get more 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: than sixty votes, then you can welcome this filibuster, which 146 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: means no one ever stops talking and nothing ever gets passed. Right, 147 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: they need sixty votes, they don't got them. They don't 148 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: have them because they don't have it. And even some 149 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: there's probably a couple of Democrats who are not, you know, 150 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: voting for this. But these are people we've elected into power. 151 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: The midterms are coming up. How are we going to 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: change this? Like, I feel so useless being here in 153 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: a progressive state. I'm just like, should I move back 154 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: to Georgia? 155 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: What should I do? 156 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: But if you're in a state where you have senators 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: who are opposed and hell, we'll put the link in 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: the show notes. You can see exactly who's opposed this law. 159 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: I want you to call them. You have and it 160 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: has to be you. 161 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: You know. 162 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: I actually listened to was I listening to? It was 163 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: like a podcast and it was. 164 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: Someone who works on Capitol Hill, and she was going 165 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: into detail about the most impactful way to get elected 166 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: officials attention. And she's like, if you're not from if 167 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: you're not in their constituency, like you live where they represent, 168 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: your calls are not going to matter as much. So 169 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: I can't call, Tiffany, can't call if you don't if 170 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: you live in Texas or Georgia or Kansas or wherever 171 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: these places are. 172 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: You have to call. You have to. We have to work. 173 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: We have to save the babies, like we have to. 174 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm gonna say babies. Because everyone's all about 175 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: pro life and banning abortion and all that bullshit. We 176 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: don't give a shit about children in this country. Like 177 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: that's the way I feel. So you can't care about children, 178 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 2: we don't give it. How do we not care about children? 179 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: You're we're going to grow up to be taxpayers and 180 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: business owners, and like, how do we not see what 181 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: happens to a child and who they they've they've passed. 182 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: Do we not think at conception you can't. I'm like, 183 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: that's not literally. 184 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: Can't feed them, we can't beat them. 185 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: Yes, and so but now that when kids become actual kids, 186 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: then it's like a hands off. It's just that's the 187 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: only way people are gonna learn. And it actually does work. 188 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: If you think, to you, so, wow, that doesn't work, 189 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: that's not true. Like my assembly woman, Angela pe McKnight 190 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: and I got together and then it took two years, 191 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: two or three years, but we got the law passed 192 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: in the state of New making financial education mandatory for 193 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: middle school students. Then I called Angela and I was like, Yo, 194 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: these people came to my house and under and praise 195 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: the house. And it's been what like two years now, 196 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: and I'm fortunately I can't be there because I have 197 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: a speaking engagement. But on Saturday, on Thursday, they asked 198 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: me to come testify before the Senate of New Jersey 199 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: to testify to say this is what happened to me. 200 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: So now there's a law or not a law but 201 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: certainly I think I don't know if it's a bill yet, 202 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: but it is. I think it's called the bill. Whatever 203 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: a pre law is to say, hey, here's how one 204 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: that's wrong for appraisals to be based upon race and 205 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: gender and other information that has nothing to do with 206 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: the value of your home. And here's what's going to 207 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: happen for appraisers who do that. So that's happening. You know, 208 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: it takes some time, but to stand up and say no, 209 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to reach out to my counsel person, my 210 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: assembly person, my whatever. I mean. You know that's a 211 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: quickly happening. Yes, locally, yep, locally. And I remember distinctly 212 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: to your point, Mandy. She was like, can you come 213 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: and speak, because hearing from a constituent is powerful if 214 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: not write a letter. And I remember when we were 215 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: getting the financial education law passed, she was like, can 216 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: you send an email to all of your New Jersey 217 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: folks in this area to say make a phone call. 218 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: I literally gave them a link. I said, here's a link, 219 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: click this, copy and paste this message if you don't 220 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: know what to write. And so that's what we did 221 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: to kind of to let lawmakers know, like, hey, there 222 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: are people who could vote you in or out who 223 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: care about this law making happen. So I just say 224 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: all that to say that, I know sometimes it's hard 225 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: because it's just like just vote that doesn't seem like enough. 226 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: But I will say that being active in that way 227 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: it does make change happen. 228 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, at the local level too, I got really involved 229 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: in my and my school district's board of education election, 230 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: which was just like, what was it a couple of 231 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: weeks ago now, and the pro the pro gun, anti 232 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: vax contingency, they're out there trying to get seats on 233 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: school boards, okay, and thank goodness this particular election. And 234 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 2: you know, I don't even have a kid in the 235 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: school system yet, but I'm just like, he's going to 236 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: be there, and if he's not there, I know kids 237 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: who are. You know, I know kids in my neighborhood 238 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: who are going to be in the school system. So 239 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 2: even at that level, voting, you know, helping to pass 240 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: out flyers, being aware of what's happening at your really 241 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: local level, like going to your town hall meetings or 242 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: getting on the list serve and you know, emailing your 243 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 2: local elected officials. Believe me, they'll respond to those emails. 244 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: At the local level, they will. It really matters. So 245 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 2: you know, I just want I want to create at 246 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: least a few minutes here to like, you know, can 247 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: we create some like actionable items, you know, for action 248 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: steps that you can take right now so we can 249 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: all just feel a little bit less shitty. And I 250 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: think that's it, you know, figuring out who's opposed this 251 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: particular bill that originated in the House. Figuring out if 252 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: you know, if you have any senators in your state, 253 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: and there's quite a few who have opposed it, and 254 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: how you can get in contact with them and tell 255 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: them that they are not doing you a service that 256 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: as a constituent you care will put those links in 257 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: the show notes. That's one huge thing. And then also 258 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: at your local level, who's on your board of education. 259 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: I I have a friend and she has created a petition. 260 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 2: Sadly enough, I mean, obviously gun reform is so important, 261 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: but the reality is that, like Tiffany' said, it can 262 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: take it take a long time to see any huge changes. 263 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: We've already seen it. So in the meantime, you know, 264 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: this mom is petitioning her local school board of education 265 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 2: to better protect the children at schools. So even as 266 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: we're thinking about big picture gun reform, there's still kids 267 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 2: going to bat like wars every day. It feels like, 268 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: how are we protecting them? Who's you know, this particular 269 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: gun and walk through an unlocked door that was propped 270 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: open by god, this teacher, I don't know how they're 271 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: even coping with the what this has but there was 272 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: no there and they have a school police district, no 273 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: one they're to protect them, So, like, what can they 274 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,359 Speaker 2: do to take safer schools? 275 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: Just don't train? 276 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: It hit two weeks prior about this is what to 277 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: do should this happen? 278 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so what's what looking into your local school district 279 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: and what have they done to create a safer environment 280 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: for schools. If we're gonna let these ar you know, 281 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: fifteen's stay on the streets and let thirteen year olds 282 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: buy up guns at gun shows and all of that, 283 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: what are we going to do to make schools safer? 284 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: And if you're not asking those questions as a concerned citizen, 285 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: you know, I think that that's one of the simple 286 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: things that we can do to make schools a little 287 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: bit safer. And hug your babies and hug the babies 288 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: that aren't your babies, and just appreciate that these lives, 289 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: these fragile children. 290 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: You know, I can't get over it. 291 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: You know.

It's been 508 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: a couple of years, and I said, well, it sounds 509 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: like your life was pretty great before, because what if 510 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: you take this next ten years to indeed grow this 511 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: billion dollar business, get there, only to find out it's 512 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: not as cute as you think, and you will have 513 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: paid for that life with your life, you know. And 514 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: she was just like wow, you know, because I get 515 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: it that there was a stage an entrepreneship that I 516 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: have seen over the last couple of years where it's 517 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: growth by any means necessary. It's bigger, bigger, bigger, more, more 518 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: and more, bigger, bigger, more, more and more and more 519 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: and more, especially in the black and brown entrepreneur community, 520 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: because for the first time we have been able to 521 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: break through and like, you know, look, I've never seen 522 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: this type of wealth grown so quickly in this community 523 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: through entrepreneurship, and so I myself definitely got caught up 524 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: in it as well, because it was, like I remember distinctly, 525 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: one of my mentors she met well, told me that 526 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: if you can get it, go get it, meaning like well, Tiffany, 527 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: if you can do one, can you do five million? 528 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: If you can do five mili, can you do ten? 529 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: If you can do ten, can you do fifty? So 530 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: it's like, well, girl, if it's out there to get 531 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: it and you can get it, go get it. And 532 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: so I subscribed to that because I thought, if it's possible, 533 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: why not reach for the stars? Never really asking myself, 534 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: but do I just like clouds? And so because of 535 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: like losing Darrell, it helped to like reset and to 536 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: really ask myself, actually, how do you actually want your 537 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: life to go. I know that I could grow a 538 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: fifty to one hundred million dollar company. I know I 539 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: can do that. We know that, but is that what 540 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: you actually want? Are you not wearing your target's best 541 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: every day? 542 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: You know? 543 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: Like, are you still not driving your twenty fifteen Lincoln 544 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: MKZ that you bought used anyway and you love that car? Yes? 545 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: Is your house your work is not paid off and 546 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: you actually love your little house? You know? Yes? So 547 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: what is if I you know what I mean, Like, 548 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: what's the point Like if I were to get this 549 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar business and sacrifice my life, Now, what's 550 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: on the other side of that is isn't it really 551 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: a better life? 552 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 3: Like? 553 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: What is all that for? Basically? So we really talked 554 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: about that and she was just like, wow, you know 555 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that Dyll taught me is the 556 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: concept of enough, you know, and I'd never known that concept. 557 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: I used to think the concept of enough meant that 558 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: you were not ambitious. I spent to drilling ambitious, and 559 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: that you were settling. Yep. Because I was like, Jerrell, 560 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: you don't want to do this and this and this, 561 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: and he's like, hmmm no. I'm like, but babe, you can, 562 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: like you know, you work for housing, You're super already. 563 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: We can have like apartment buildings. And he was just like, 564 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean maybe another house or two that'd be cool. 565 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I remember it to drive me crazy. 566 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: And finally I was like, that's just him. I'm out 567 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: here doing it meanwhile, stressed overwork, my blood pressure was raising. 568 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: I wanted to benefit, though you were doing it for 569 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 3: his benefit. 570 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, I was, you know, but I'm just thinking 571 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: to myself, like there was a moment where I actually 572 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: had attained the goals I set forth and I zoomed passed. 573 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: It didn't even acknowledge. I was like, I want to 574 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: have a house that's paid off. I don't want any debt. 575 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: I want to pay off my student loan debts. I 576 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: want to be able to vacation or at least I 577 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: have enough money to do. So I want to pay 578 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: off my parents' house. So I had this goal and 579 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: when I tell you, I flew past it, barely nodded 580 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: at it, and kept going. So it's not that I 581 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: regret the hard work, but it's like you did the 582 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: thing that you wanted and now you're still working as 583 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: if you just started. And it was a law of 584 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: diminishing returns where the work was actually bringing me less 585 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: of what I intended, which is freedom and time. And 586 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: so that's what I'm really So I believe in hard work, 587 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: but it's like that it should be tied to something 588 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: versus just work for working sake. And that's the zone 589 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: that I had entered into that I was just working 590 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: for working sake because we had the things we said 591 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: we wanted to have and so yeah, so it was like, 592 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, it was just a really good chat with her. 593 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: And I mentioned this book before Stillness is the Key, 594 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: But my favorite chapter is definitely the chapter called enough. 595 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: I probably listened to that twenty times just to re 596 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: remind myself, like, you know, what does it look like? 597 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: But you have to self identify For some people, enough 598 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: is it's not really the money. Maybe for some people, 599 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: enough is living a certain lifestyle that I'm not, you know, 600 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to, but that's fine. So really I 601 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: had to learn this s and self identify what is 602 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: enough and do I have it? And if I do, 603 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: I don't have to put not that I don't work 604 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: at all, because I still do, but I don't have 605 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: to work as if I'm still trying to achieve what 606 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: I set forth anyway, And so I've never been more aligned. 607 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: Like literally, I was going through my my calendar with Rose, 608 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: my adamant today and I was like, girl, why do 609 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: I have like five meeting five things today?

And you know, like I was looking 612 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: at all these little trips that have coming at my sisters, 613 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: and I are all going to be going to Chicago 614 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: to surprise my sister Karen. Hey, Karen, surprise. 615 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 3: She's not a listener. 616 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't even know if she's but I'm gonna tell 617 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: her this week. 618 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 3: Addy read shady like all my families, but. 619 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to like speak in Chicago, and old Tippy 620 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: would have been like just go and come back.

And so we've all been 623 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: to Chicago, but not all the same time with the kids. 624 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: So it's going to be like we call the Alicia Sisters. 625 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: I know, So I just but I'm just no, because 626 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: my dad doesn't fly as much now that he's in 627 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: his mid eighties, he doesn't fly as much, and I 628 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: don't I know.

But as my dad used 633 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: to travel all the time, but now that he's mid 634 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: eight he just doesn't like to travel as much. I'm 635 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: gonna maybe, you know what I'm gonna see, Maybe I 636 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: put him on a train, you know, because you can 637 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: do like one of those really comfortable like first class 638 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: like you know, and trains are really comfortable. Maybe that 639 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: will be like a better I'm gonna see if that 640 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: because I know my sister would love to see him 641 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago. I mean, she's been here obviously a number 642 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: of times. But yeah, I've never been more aligned. I 643 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: spend way more time with family and friends. I speak 644 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: to my mentees all the time, I take daily walks, 645 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: I nap, I'm financially stable, I have therapy. I just 646 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: I've never been more aligned. But I've never worked less. 647 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: You know. 648 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes I do get a little anxious from not working, 649 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, for not working as much. But I learned 650 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,479 Speaker 1: to calm myself down, like I have enough, and it 651 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: feels really awesome. It doesn't mean that there's not growth, 652 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: because growth is still happening, you know, but you know, 653 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: not as a result of my hyper productivity, you know, 654 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: which is not all that productive. And so like, yeah, 655 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm just learning, Like I think my my brown boost 656 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: is like the concept of enough and learning to lean 657 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: into it. 658 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: I love that stillness is the key. Do you ever, 659 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: even on your walk sometimes I feel like I'm turning. 660 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 2: I had been turning my walks into like, oh, be productive, 661 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: listen to this, listen to that, and or catch up 662 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 2: on this that you you know you missed, and or 663 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 2: listen to the news and whatnot. But I've I've tried 664 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 2: to get back to just quiet and listening to the 665 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: birds chirping, and you know, my favorite mom and my 666 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: favorite walking ladies and kind of eavesdropping on their conversations 667 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: and what's going on with their lives. 668 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: I love that. 669 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 3: I love that walk with some tea. Yeah. 670 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: Oh that reminds me really quickly of Girl Treks.
