Speaker 1: Meaning, Hi, and welcome to the A Girl Podcast.
Speaker 2: I am here with Iris Kendall.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming.
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to have you. Okay, we're going to
Speaker 1: go back a little bit. Where did you grow up?
Speaker 1: What was your childhood like?
Speaker 2: I grew up in Wolden Hills, Calabasas, so that's like
Speaker 2: the valley in California, and my child is really good
Speaker 2: I had. I was in nature, and I feel like
Speaker 2: a lot of people think La is like this big city,
Speaker 2: but the part that I grew up in was very
Speaker 2: nature and peaceful and lots of hikes and stuff, and
Speaker 2: I had a really good childhood.
Speaker 1: You were in Calabasas before. Calbasas was cool. I love that.
Speaker 2: That's so cool.
Speaker 1: What did you think your life was going to look
Speaker 1: like growing up? What was your dream career?
Speaker 2: I wanted to do something in the beauty industry because
Speaker 2: that's what my fam I have generational hairdressers in my family,
Speaker 2: and my grandfather's a hairdresser. My dad's a hairdresser, so
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to be a hairdresser as well.
Speaker 2: But then I just realized that I wanted to do
Speaker 2: something in the beauty industry. So I was doing spraytnds,
Speaker 2: so I thought that was going to be like my
Speaker 2: you know, end goal, my spraytnd career. And I was
Speaker 2: actually like building a product before I went onto a violin,
Speaker 2: and then I went on and all the products was
Speaker 2: like sitting underneath my bed when I was on the show.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, did you when you look back, what
Speaker 1: do you think your younger self would be most surprised
Speaker 1: by looking at your life now?
Speaker 2: I like never could have pictured this for myself. I
Speaker 2: think my younger self would be very in shock with
Speaker 2: how my life has turned out. I really truly couldn't
Speaker 2: have envisioned like all the amazing things that have happened
Speaker 2: to me and all the luck I've been given. I
Speaker 2: feel like it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you know you wanted to be in the
Speaker 1: public eye or was that just something that you kind
Speaker 1: of stumbled into.
Speaker 2: I like really didn't want to, you know, I didn't
Speaker 2: really want to be like known or have people like
Speaker 2: look into my life. But that's why I I originally
Speaker 2: was casted for season six of Love Island, but I
Speaker 2: didn't end up going on because of that reason. I
Speaker 2: didn't really want to do that, and my family and
Speaker 2: my friends, they really convinced me to do it because
Speaker 2: they were like, you could probably meet your person, like
Speaker 2: it will just be a fun experience for you. And
Speaker 2: that's ultimately like why I did season seven. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: what do I have to lose at this point?
Speaker 1: Are you glad you did it? Now?
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I did it. Yeah, I have no regrets.
Speaker 1: What surprised you most about that experience?
Speaker 2: I think like the lack of sleep. Yes, I really thought, like,
Speaker 2: I mean I truly don't know because we don't know
Speaker 2: what the time and everything is there, So I don't
Speaker 2: know if I got sleep, and I was just a
Speaker 2: tired girl because I am a tired girl in general.
Speaker 1: Sort of clocks No, oh my, so I know you
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, but I didn't know you didn't have clock.
Speaker 2: We try to tell the time by the sun and
Speaker 2: it's oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that's like mental warfare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's actually crazy. But yeah, so I feel
Speaker 2: like I was just really tired most of the time.
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's one thing about filming a
Speaker 1: show that people don't know is even in a different circumstance,
Speaker 1: Like what from my experiences, there just isn't time to sleep,
Speaker 1: Like it's just constant and you just like.
Speaker 2: I don't think people understand that, I know, you're tired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many things where I was like, I
Speaker 1: was just tired and people are like, why were you tired?
Speaker 1: It's just a tiring Yeah, Like you're just tired. All
Speaker 1: the time you are.
Speaker 2: Thinking, yes you're on, Yes, you're on.
Speaker 1: People are staring at you. People are looking at you.
Speaker 1: They're like expecting you to say something, and it's fit's
Speaker 1: your makeup?
Speaker 2: Yes, you know.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's exhausting, it really is. That is a great
Speaker 1: tidbit is that it is very.
Speaker 2: It's exhausting for a girl who does not really like
Speaker 2: to wear makeup, yeah, and really like to do her hair.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Often did anything shock you about how people perceived you?
Speaker 1: Was there anything that you were like, that's not really
Speaker 1: how I am? Or do you feel like people got
Speaker 1: a good understanding of who you are?
Speaker 2: I think that people got a good understanding for who
Speaker 2: I am. On Love Island. I just really like was
Speaker 2: myself on there and like, you know, I truly even
Speaker 2: like last night, me and my boyfriend were watching the
Speaker 2: newer season and we were like, oh, I like the
Speaker 2: way we were acting, Like I totally forgot there are
Speaker 2: cameras in there. So I think that, you know, that
Speaker 2: was truly how I am.
Speaker 1: You know, and people, was there anything that they thought
Speaker 1: about you that wasn't true or you feel like they
Speaker 1: really understood you.
Speaker 2: I can't think of anything on the top of my
Speaker 2: head right now, but I think most of what was
Speaker 2: there on the show was true. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: That's good true to myself. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did the experience change your relationship with your confidence for
Speaker 1: good or for bad?
Speaker 2: I think so. I think being in TV and on
Speaker 2: the screen and having people like watch you it does
Speaker 2: mess with your confidence. But I think going into it
Speaker 2: you do have to be strong in some regards because
Speaker 2: you don't know what people are going to say, and
Speaker 2: you don't know what people you know. You have to
Speaker 2: be like mentally prepared for that, which I was going
Speaker 2: into the experience. But but I do think like it
Speaker 2: does take a toll on you, you know when people
Speaker 2: do say things and whatever, but you just have to remember,
Speaker 2: like you know who you are, block it out, move
Speaker 2: on with your life. There's so many other amazing things
Speaker 2: that are happening.
Speaker 1: I just always think, like they pick apart everybody, So
Speaker 1: it doesn't like I don't care because I'm like, they
Speaker 1: pick apart Kate Moss, they pick apart and I only can't. Well,
Speaker 1: they pick apart the most beautiful, they pick apart princesses,
Speaker 1: like they're gonna they pick upart the most beauty, everyone stunning,
Speaker 1: successful women in the world, So like everyone's going to
Speaker 1: get picked apart.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If you could relive one part of the experience, what
Speaker 1: would it be. Definitely not having clothes that is freaky.
Speaker 1: That terrifies me that just like I feel like I
Speaker 1: would just like slowly lose my mind.
Speaker 2: I think the challenge is because I'm never gonna do
Speaker 2: that again. Like there's no there's no point in my
Speaker 2: life at this point that I'm going to do a
Speaker 2: challenge with slime or I'm going to do a challenge
Speaker 2: of milk or whatever, you know, Like those are really
Speaker 2: fun to do actually, and that's why we always get
Speaker 2: excited when we get those texts, because it's like we're
Speaker 2: in this villa, but when we get those texts, we
Speaker 2: get so excited to put on our little outfits and
Speaker 2: go to the challenges and stuff. So yeah, I feel
Speaker 2: like I definitely kind of miss the challenges.
Speaker 1: That's so cute. Is there anything you would do differently?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yes and no. I would say no because I
Speaker 2: believe everything happens for a reason and my experience like
Speaker 2: ultimately has led me to where I am now, which
Speaker 2: I'm really happy where I am now. But I would
Speaker 2: say yes, I wish I would have like known certain things,
Speaker 2: but you can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. You can't. There's so much in hindsight,
Speaker 1: but like you really it's one of those things where
Speaker 1: it's like such a once in a lifetime experience that
Speaker 1: until you're in it.
Speaker 2: You just have to like go through it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you truly just have to like kind of embarrass
Speaker 1: yourself to learn.
Speaker 2: I think acceptance of like what you do in your life,
Speaker 2: good or bad, is the most like amazing thing you
Speaker 2: could do for yourself because it's going to lead you
Speaker 2: into a better place.
Speaker 1: And the lack of control, I feel like that was
Speaker 1: crazy for me. I was just like, oh, I'm relinquishing, okay,
Speaker 1: like this is gonna this is going out field control.
Speaker 2: Sometimes Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It really is like life, but just like fast forward
Speaker 1: really really like you get so much life experience in
Speaker 1: such a tiny amount of time. Yeah, moving moving on
Speaker 1: from Love Island, what does a typical work week look
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 2: Now? My goodness, every single day there's something happening. So
Speaker 2: when I was filming the latest show I did, I
Speaker 2: think it came out in like February March, it was
Speaker 2: basically like filming from six am to twelve am in
Speaker 2: the morning. Crazy, And then after that I would have
Speaker 2: to do like my social media stuff. Wow, and I
Speaker 2: have to keep up with posting and just do things
Speaker 2: like that. Also in the midst of all that, take
Speaker 2: care of myself, make time for my friends, wake time
Speaker 2: for my family, et cetera. But I think now it's
Speaker 2: it's just like traveling. I was just in Ohio. Now
Speaker 2: I'm here in Ohio. I was doing a I'm partnered
Speaker 2: with smear, and so I was doing a little like
Speaker 2: hey guys and Ohio, Yeah, shout out Ohio. I actually
Speaker 2: really liked Ohio. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I haven't been there since like five It was.
Speaker 2: My first time there. So I've been like traveling on.
Speaker 2: I'm going to Sacramento after New York and then I
Speaker 2: go to Miami. So it's just a lot of traveling
Speaker 2: and yeah, lots of cool stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are there things that go into being a full
Speaker 1: time creator that people don't realize.
Speaker 2: I think that people don't really realize how much we
Speaker 2: put into our post and like the things that we
Speaker 2: put out like there. I try and make everything really
Speaker 2: authentic to myself and I don't want to like post
Speaker 2: like all photo shoot stuff. I want to do like
Speaker 2: my life. I want to show people my life and
Speaker 2: be like real about it because truly, I feel like
Speaker 2: that's how you are authentic online, you know, like it's
Speaker 2: not it's not all about like the the esthetic because
Speaker 2: you know, I try to make it aesthetic. What is
Speaker 2: the best.
Speaker 1: Piece of career advice you've ever received?
Speaker 2: Ooh, the best career advice? I feel like somebody has
Speaker 2: told me to Honestly, I can't really think right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's always about saving money. Okay, my next question
Speaker 2: was going to be about money. So yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: always about saving money. Like even when even when I
Speaker 2: was like five or not five, ten years old, maybe
Speaker 2: my dad's friend he was like, here's one hundred dollars,
Speaker 2: don't spend it, keep saving it. Put one hundred in
Speaker 2: also when was I going to get one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: And I'm twelve, you know, but I think he was
Speaker 2: like trying to tell.
Speaker 1: Me, like that's like a million dollars when you're twelve.
Speaker 2: I think it's so easy, like just to spend money
Speaker 2: and like throw it away and whatever, but I think
Speaker 2: like saving is really important to do as well.
Speaker 1: My next question was going to be, what's one thing
Speaker 1: you've learned about making money that every woman should know?
Speaker 2: Ooh. I would say, keep track of your finances, like
Speaker 2: don't let somebody like just do it for you blindly.
Speaker 2: And also like budget yourself because that's what I do,
Speaker 2: Like I have an allowance, so I don't just like
Speaker 2: overspend it. Oh I like that. No, I like really
Speaker 2: like even when I want to buy like something that's
Speaker 2: expensive for myself, I really think it through. I bought
Speaker 2: a used car because I was like, I don't it's
Speaker 2: only new until you leave the lot, you know, totally.
Speaker 2: So I think it's just those things that are like
Speaker 2: really important to do.
Speaker 1: So that's good advice I want. I we're very big
Speaker 1: on like financial independence for women here, so that's fantastic advice.
Speaker 1: If you were mentoring a young woman who wanted to
Speaker 1: become a content creator, Well, what's the first thing you
Speaker 1: would tell her?
Speaker 2: I would say, even if you have zero followers, keep
Speaker 2: posting as much as you possibly can, because that's how
Speaker 2: you build following and people start to like like you honestly,
Speaker 2: like do do like or content for yourself, like speaking
Speaker 2: to the camera, like anything that comes to your mind,
Speaker 2: put it down on the on your TikTok or whatever.
Speaker 2: And if you're consistent with it, people will see that
Speaker 2: you're consistent and they'll follow you. But they will not
Speaker 2: follow you if you're like posting once a week or whatever.
Speaker 2: They want to follow a consistent account post all the time,
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: That's what I tell all the release. I'm like, just
Speaker 1: post constant anything. What makes you say yes to a partnership?
Speaker 2: I think if it's authentic and it's relatable to whatever
Speaker 2: is going on in my life, and if like I
Speaker 2: love the team, you know, I think those are like
Speaker 2: really important things as well. But yeah, I feel like
Speaker 2: all my partnerships that I've done have been so amazing
Speaker 2: and authentic to myself, so I'm very proud of it.
Speaker 1: What's one career decision you are most proud of.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm just proud of sticking to something that I
Speaker 2: love to do. I didn't go to call, so I
Speaker 2: decided to take like an untraditional route from like a
Speaker 2: lot of my friends. And for me, that was something
Speaker 2: that I really am proud of myself for sticking through
Speaker 2: and doing it and just like working really hard on it.
Speaker 2: So I'm happy that I did that instead of go
Speaker 2: to college and maybe do a career that I wasn't
Speaker 2: really fully happy with. I love that.
Speaker 1: I think everybody should just like I'm like so big
Speaker 1: on just chase your dreams. It doesn't even matter, just like,
Speaker 1: go for it, because you get one life.
Speaker 2: You really have to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's one career move every woman should make in
Speaker 1: her twenties.
Speaker 2: I think that if you are young and in your
Speaker 2: twenties and you want to, you know, get to where
Speaker 2: you want to be, I think you have to have
Speaker 2: multiple jobs. I mean there was one point where I
Speaker 2: had multiple jobs and I was doing different things I
Speaker 2: was wanted. At one point, I wanted to be a
Speaker 2: ploate's instructor and I was getting my plate certification working
Speaker 2: as a pe teacher, wow and at a Tannic song.
Speaker 2: So those were two things and then I ended up
Speaker 2: doing the tanning thing because I realized I wasn't that
Speaker 2: girl that was like okay everyone in and out. I
Speaker 2: was like, not that girl. But you just have to
Speaker 2: do certain things to like find.
Speaker 1: Your career and your passion.
Speaker 2: Find your passion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've at one point, I had three jobs when
Speaker 1: I lived in La too. Like you kind of have
Speaker 1: to experiment and try everything and just get knowledge and everything.
Speaker 1: It's it's invaluable knowledge that you'll want makes.
Speaker 2: It better to speak to people, connect with people, and
Speaker 2: that's what's really good for like your business as well,
Speaker 2: is just like to connect with those people in those
Speaker 2: different types of ways kids, adults, And I.
Speaker 1: Feel like so much of your career's social skills at
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, and so many people are lacking that.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, just go learn how to talk to
Speaker 1: people and do things, and that you'll be fine. You
Speaker 1: just need to be able to talk to people. Okay,
Speaker 1: switching gears a little bit, we're gonna get into dating,
Speaker 1: but just your dating tips. Okay, what is the biggest
Speaker 1: lesson you've learned about relationships in your twenties.
Speaker 2: I think that you need to have good communication with
Speaker 2: someone and that is very important, especially if you're doing
Speaker 2: a long distance or you know, you're just trying to
Speaker 2: communicate your feelings to someone. So I would just say, like,
Speaker 2: communication is definitely key.
Speaker 1: What is one thing you'll never settle for again?
Speaker 2: Just someone that just doesn't fully like respect me in
Speaker 2: all the ways that I need because sometimes I'm like
Speaker 2: okay with a lot of was I was okay with
Speaker 2: a lot of things. Now I'm not okay with it,
Speaker 2: you know, Like I will speak up about if something's
Speaker 2: really bothering me, so I'm not I would say, don't
Speaker 2: be a yes man in situations that you feel like
Speaker 2: maybe it's easier, the easier way out.
Speaker 1: That is fantastic advice. What is your biggest green flag?
Speaker 2: I'm just a loyal I'm a loyal girl. Like if
Speaker 2: I if I love you friend relationship, I will ride
Speaker 2: for you to like the end of time.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What do you think is a big mistake women make
Speaker 1: when dating in their twenties.
Speaker 2: I think they think like for me, like my first relationship,
Speaker 2: I thought I was good. I really loved him and
Speaker 2: like I was going to marry him. This guy in
Speaker 2: there a girl. Yeah, Ever, so I feel like you
Speaker 2: just have to really date to know who your person
Speaker 2: is and not settle. So if some things make you
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even say one thing. If one thing makes
Speaker 2: you unhappy, you could figure it out. If it's multiple
Speaker 2: things that make you unhappy, and you it's your first
Speaker 2: boyfriend or whatever, don't settle. You need to like date,
Speaker 2: go and you don't have to kiss anyone when you
Speaker 2: go on dates, and you don't have to like sleep
Speaker 2: with anyone, but you can just talk to them and
Speaker 2: see like what you like and what you don't like.
Speaker 2: And I think those are really good things to do
Speaker 2: when you're like young, you know you have to experiment
Speaker 2: and like have fun. I agree.
Speaker 1: What is the best and worst dating advice you've ever received?
Speaker 2: I mean, no one has told me, No one I
Speaker 2: can remember has told me this, But I feel like
Speaker 2: like someone said this to me and I can't remember who.
Speaker 2: But or maybe it's just like a stereotypical thing. But
Speaker 2: like you marry the first person that you sleep with
Speaker 2: or whatever. I would say, like that's maybe like not
Speaker 2: something that is makes sense. Yeah, And then the best
Speaker 2: dating advice would be if you're doing long distance, have
Speaker 2: an end goal to your long distance relationship.
Speaker 1: Have a plan, Have a.
Speaker 2: Plan, because otherwise it's going to just linger on longer
Speaker 2: and longer.
Speaker 1: Longestant relationships are literally the worst thing in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my advice, just don't have one. They're terrible.
Speaker 2: I'm in one right now.
Speaker 1: But it's not really just the distance.
Speaker 2: He lives in Tampa and I live in La oh Man,
Speaker 2: but he comes to La a lot.
Speaker 1: So how often do you guys see each other?
Speaker 2: Now, this is the longest we haven't seen each other.
Speaker 2: It's been like two three weeks.
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, are you you're good with it?
Speaker 2: He's here in New York.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can't do it. I need too much attention.
Speaker 1: I know, I need like constant attention. So I feel
Speaker 1: like I've been in long, distenttitlationship. I'm like I've always
Speaker 1: like it's just frustrating.
Speaker 2: I just don't really like to be a love.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean it is good because like you
Speaker 1: can focus on your career and focus on you.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there are things that are like it's nice
Speaker 2: that we do.
Speaker 1: You have a plan for ending the distance?
Speaker 2: I think no, not right now, just because we're so
Speaker 2: like go go go that we haven't even like really
Speaker 2: sat down and been like okay, And there hasn't even
Speaker 2: been that much time that's passed where we even need
Speaker 2: to talk about that yet, because right now it's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: get on a flight whatever. Yeah, it's like kind of easy.
Speaker 2: But and he works in LA a lot too, so
Speaker 2: it's kind of been like it's been nice. But when
Speaker 2: it gets to a certain point, I feel like we'll
Speaker 2: have a conversation for sure.
Speaker 1: You go, girl, I cannot do it. What's one thing
Speaker 1: you've learned about yourself through dating?
Speaker 2: I learned that. I feel like I learned that I
Speaker 2: could and in the beginning I really made it about
Speaker 2: like my first relationship. I keep talking about my first relation. No,
Speaker 2: that's like a good but it's true.
Speaker 1: That's when you learn the most.
Speaker 2: I think that is when you learn the most. And
Speaker 2: I think that I really prioritized him over myself. And
Speaker 2: I think now I've learned to prioritize myself and him,
Speaker 2: you know. And I think there's definitely a balance of
Speaker 2: taking care of yourself and taking care of somebody else
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: That's great advice. Yeah, what does a healthy relationship look
Speaker 1: like to you?
Speaker 2: Now? Somebody that can tell you when you're wrong so important. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you could tell them when they're wrong and you
Speaker 2: don't have to like have a big fight about it,
Speaker 2: you know. So I think those and someone to boost
Speaker 2: you up too, you know. I think that is a
Speaker 2: good balance.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's something that I've never had, but am like,
Speaker 1: so I think is so important now where I'm like,
Speaker 1: what is I like, what is it like to be
Speaker 1: with someone who just like lifts you up? And is
Speaker 1: it like dragging you down?
Speaker 2: Someone that compliments, Yeah, like makes you feel good good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's really important.
Speaker 1: I do think that that. Yeah, as I've gotten older,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like I just want to like
Speaker 1: someone who's like positive about me, because I feel like
Speaker 1: I've put up with so many people who are so
Speaker 1: negative about me.
Speaker 2: My current boyfriend, he like is the first guy I've
Speaker 2: ever dated that if I'm wearing something that looks good,
Speaker 2: he'll be like, he look so beautiful.
Speaker 1: I've never dated, I never dated to anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think like a lot of men are lacking compliments.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they're intimidated, they're scared. Yeah, I really do.
Speaker 1: I'm like it has to come from insecurity. If you're
Speaker 1: just like not lifting up the girl, I think ben
Speaker 1: are they get like jealous and intimidated of their cold
Speaker 1: That's my theory.
Speaker 2: That could be very true.
Speaker 1: I think that's what I like, just insecure about themselves,
Speaker 1: so they don't want to be nice to other people.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 1: My therapist was like, if they're that mean to you,
Speaker 1: imagine what they say to themselves. And I was like,
Speaker 1: what a great point, girl, what a great point.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Switching gears again to style, how would you describe your
Speaker 1: personal style in three words?
Speaker 2: I would say I am. I go between different things,
Speaker 2: like I like boho chic, Like right now, I'm kind
Speaker 2: of like oh lis Yeah. And I got a lot
Speaker 2: of inspiration when I was younger from the movie Lol,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know I've ever seen I.
Speaker 1: You have some very Miley Cyrus hair, so gorgeous.
Speaker 2: She in that movie like was everything like the outfits,
Speaker 2: the bags, like even like going to high school. I
Speaker 2: thought like that's how I was going to dress in
Speaker 2: high school.
Speaker 1: But I thought people dressed like Wizards of Liverlely Place
Speaker 1: when I was in middle school high school and I
Speaker 1: was trying to dress like her.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh wait, we're not layering tank tops,
Speaker 1: long sleeves and T shirts.
Speaker 2: Okay, like Vampire Diaries, Yes, yeah, yeah I would, but
Speaker 2: I would just say it's like boho chic. And then
Speaker 2: sometimes I like to dress like kind of like a
Speaker 2: cottage cottage core cottage course.
Speaker 1: You I love that. Yeah, whose style has always inspired you?
Speaker 1: Is it Miley Cyrus? She's a style killer and yeah,
Speaker 1: she really is.
Speaker 2: And in real life, I would say Miley Cyrus. And
Speaker 2: then I also get a lot of inspiration from just
Speaker 2: like and French girls in Paris on Pinterest, like they
Speaker 2: kill it. They're ballet flats. Like every time.
Speaker 1: I'm in Paris, I'm like blown away by them. I
Speaker 1: just look at them and I'm like, you are just

Speaker 1: very short legs. Oh my god, totally it looks like yeah, horrible,

Speaker 1: Good Bye, Bloomers can absolutely go. If you could give
Speaker 1: every woman one styling tip, what would it be?
Speaker 2: So I would probably suggest sizing down in your tops
Speaker 2: because sometimes like it gives me like a lift with
Speaker 2: the girls. And then I would say, make sure that
Speaker 2: you like if you I personally love baggy jeans, so
Speaker 2: I get like one or two sizes is bigger than
Speaker 2: like my actual size, because I'm not really the big
Speaker 2: like highwaisted jeans girl anymore. I like the baggy fit,
Speaker 2: and I like it to the.
Speaker 1: Paracels are wearing bagga jeans.
Speaker 2: Always love the baggy jean. So I would say, like
Speaker 2: size down, try that out. And then I honestly am
Speaker 2: all of my pants because I'm really short. But I
Speaker 2: would just say, like size down and size smaller in
Speaker 2: the tops.
Speaker 1: And get a good tailor get a good tailor tails
Speaker 1: so important, so important. Okay, you said you're a big
Speaker 1: beauty girl, Can you walk us through your everyday beauty routine?

Speaker 2: like nest.

Speaker 2: house in California for sure. It'd be really difficult for

Speaker 2: my family. Yeah. I don't know, but I just picture
Speaker 2: like having a stable like house, you know.
Speaker 1: I love that for you. I hope you have that.
Speaker 1: What are you building right now that maybe people don't
Speaker 1: know about career wise?
Speaker 2: Ooh, I'm I am working on something. Oh. I can't
Speaker 2: really like say what it is exactly, but I'm really
Speaker 2: excited because there's nothing like it. Oh, I ever seen
Speaker 2: in my life?
Speaker 1: Can you say?
Speaker 2: What? Like?
Speaker 1: What what department we're in? Is this the beauty thing?
Speaker 1: Is this a wellness thing? Is it a fashion thing?
Speaker 2: It's a fashion thing. Okay, it's a fashion thing that
Speaker 2: like no one has ever had. Oh, it's gonna be insane.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited.
Speaker 1: I okay, I need to know what this is. I'm
Speaker 1: actually dying. Is there a dream brand that you'd love
Speaker 1: to collaborate with Cowboy Colossrum? You better call that?
Speaker 2: I know honestly, Cowboy Clossrum. Like I used your stuff
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: I love that. What's the most exciting to you about
Speaker 1: this next chapter?
Speaker 2: Just having now I feel like things have kind of
Speaker 2: like calmed down. I'm still like working so much, but
Speaker 2: I feel like now I'm kind of in the groove
Speaker 2: of things. Like when I first got off the show
Speaker 2: and like had everything thrown at me, I really didn't
Speaker 2: know what to do, and I started to freak out.
Speaker 2: But now I'm kind of like I have a rhythm down.
Speaker 2: I like know what I'm doing. I have an amazing team,
Speaker 2: and my family is so supportive of me, so I
Speaker 2: think like now I like I'm in like my good vibe.
Speaker 1: So and good for you for doing that and like
Speaker 1: building out a team, and like it really does all
Speaker 1: come at once, and it's very overwhelming, and I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of people just don't know what to
Speaker 1: do because it just like comes really quickly and then
Speaker 1: kind of goes away really quickly, and.
Speaker 2: It's just like it's overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: You have to capitalize in a very specific way, and
Speaker 1: you have to you do have to have some business
Speaker 1: sense to figure out like here's who I need, here's
Speaker 1: who I don't need. And all these people, at least
Speaker 1: in my experience, come like grabbing for you and they're
Speaker 1: like I want to be your agent, I want to
Speaker 1: be your publicist, I want to be hear this, I
Speaker 1: want to be hear that, and it's just very old yeah,
Speaker 1: and like you can trust them.
Speaker 2: These people have access.
Speaker 1: To like your whole life and your financials and everything,
Speaker 1: and that to me, I was like Wow, these people
Speaker 1: really just like want a peace and I don't even
Speaker 1: know them right, It's it's really a crazy overwhelming experience.
Speaker 1: If you could give every woman listening a piece of
Speaker 1: advice on building the life she wants, what would it be.
Speaker 2: I think not having super high expectations for something that
Speaker 2: you want, I think sometimes that will lower the outcome.
Speaker 2: I have this thing where a lot of things that
Speaker 2: I wanted, like secretly in my head, have worked out
Speaker 2: for me just because I didn't really like I tried
Speaker 2: to do it, but I also didn't give it all
Speaker 2: my energy. And I think that is like a form
Speaker 2: of manifestation in a way, because I think when you're
Speaker 2: like trying your so much to go towards something, the
Speaker 2: energy like directs itself when you chase it too hard,
Speaker 2: when you chase it too hard, and that just goes
Speaker 2: for anything like people dating. If you chase something really hard,
Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't happen. But I think if you slowly
Speaker 2: work in towards that direction, that will eventually happen. So
Speaker 2: I think making sure that you're speaking to the right
Speaker 2: people and connecting doing things that are positive for your life,
Speaker 2: for your health, mental health, whatever it is you will
Speaker 2: get there, You will achieve your goals and what you
Speaker 2: your success story. I agree.
Speaker 1: I think you have to kind of release yourself from
Speaker 1: the pressure. Yeah, because if you're living under a constant
Speaker 1: state of pressure, I agree, you chase it away.
Speaker 2: You chase it away. And if you think like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I really want to do that, like really
Speaker 2: this is what I want and it doesn't happen and
Speaker 2: you let yourself down, that's also not good to do either,
Speaker 2: because you just give up, and you can't give up.
Speaker 2: It has to be like a slow thing, a gradual thing,
Speaker 2: just like everything in life. You know, so great advice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this. Okay, we make everyone speak something
Speaker 1: into existence. So speak something that you want to happen.
Speaker 1: It could be it could be your house, it could
Speaker 1: be a collab, it could be something with your new brand,
Speaker 1: like anything, just something that you want to say and
Speaker 1: then look back in a couple of years and be like,
Speaker 1: oh oh kind of existence. Okay, I need to go
Speaker 1: back and like see everything people have spoken into existence
Speaker 1: and see what's happened, because I just know that there
Speaker 1: needs to be accomplish Yes, I know these girls have
Speaker 1: made it happen.
Speaker 2: Okay, I will say what I'm working on. I hope
Speaker 2: it's going to be one of the most successful fashion brands.
Speaker 1: Wow love in.
Speaker 2: Our time.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait to hear about it. It sounds
Speaker 1: so innovative and exciting. I'm so excited for you. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: And last question, who is your ultimate it girl and
Speaker 1: why does she inspire you?
Speaker 2: I would say my mom is my ultimate it girl.
Speaker 2: She just inspires me so much because she's just really
Speaker 2: she has pushed through so much in her life and
Speaker 2: it just gives me so much confidence that if she
Speaker 2: is amazing now after everything that she's like gone through,
Speaker 2: then it makes me feel like and nothing is impossible.
