WEBVTT - Taking 20 More with Nia Sioux

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>This is Take twenty with Mattie and Kenzie Ziggler and

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I Heart Radio podcast. Hey guys, so we have Mia

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>back again and we are so excited to ask me

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>a more questions. And yeah, so I wanted to know

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>since we were talking about all of the things that

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you do, because you're just like, you know, you can

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>do everything. Um, how do you juggle all of that,

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>especially going to u c l A and living on

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>campus and you're also doing movies and you're doing music

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and you're doing all these things. How how do you

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>juggle everything? Honestly, I don't even know. I literally like

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I really don't. I take it day by day honestly,

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>just because like my schedule will just get so busy

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>for like no reason at all, and I'm like like

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I have to take a deep breast, like I have

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to take a step by step and like check things

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>off my list, like something that I will do. It's

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>like right out, I'll get really overwhelmed and like I

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>have so much to do, Like I have to learn

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>my audition, I have to do X, Y and Z,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I have this lesson whatever, my school work, my interns.

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll write down everything that I have to do and

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>then usually it's not as much as I think it

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>is once you write it down, and then you just

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>go off the list, right, And like as you get

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff done, you just crossed off the list, and then

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you have like peace of mind in a way because

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you see it on paper and you're like, okay, so

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not as much as as it seems in my head.

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>So you just kind of go through it and once

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you do it, you take it off. But like, you know,

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>I think another thing is like you don't have to

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>like do everything all at once, you know, like you

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>can take your time, and like that's something that I

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>am still learning as well, because when I get stuff,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like I feel very overwhelmed and I'm like I have

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to do everything, but you know, if you just take

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>your time and do it and like don't stress yourself out,

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>because if you stress yourself out, you're not going to

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>get it done. So of course, yeah, I think that's

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>such a good thing for everyone listening as well, even

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, Like I'm like, oh my gosh, I should

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>really start writing down everything because if you do everything,

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, like in situations where your schedule builds up,

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like everything sometimes feels like a ten when really

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it's maybe like a five or six, you know, like

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>in the bigger picture, like everything, really if you just

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>like you said, just take a moment, take a deep breath,

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>step back from it, write it down, and then you're like, huh,

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I'm capable of doing that, and I'm going

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>to do it one at a time and then I'll

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>accomplish it. That's a really smart thing to do, because

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you can't do everything at the same time, like you

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>will just go crazy. You can't do that. Literally, that's

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>so important. Okay, So is there any piece of advice

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 1>that you've learned from your mom or even your dad,

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>even because you have such an incredible family and they're

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>so intelligent, and I don't know, I feel like your

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>mom has just always given such great advice. Is there

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>anything that she's taught you that you've like this, It

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>could be anything that you've kind of taken with you

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>through life now as like a young adult. Honestly, I

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's literally everything. I mean literally, my whole

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>like mindset and everything is like based off of, you know,

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.839
<v Speaker 1>my parents, because I do look up to them as well.

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that like even like the thing that we're

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about last about like managing time and stuff. Like

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>my mom literally tells me like write everything you have

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to do down and then get things off your list,

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>like that's her things. Like I didn't make that up.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>She does. She told me to do that, you know.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>So like I can't take credit for half of this

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff because like my parents just I don't know, they

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>just taught me how to get things done. But like

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>also take care of yourself as well. And I think

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that's another thing that like my parents like really instilled

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>in me, is like taking care of yourself, um and

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>just like self care and away, but like really like

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>doing like I don't know, doing stuff for yourself, like

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>being kind to yourself, you know, because I beat myself

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>up all the time about like random things, and they're

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>always someone telling me to like take a step back,

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>take a deep breath, um, like you can do this.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Like they're always there supporting me, you know. And I

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like they support so many other people as well.

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Like we have like a lot of friends and family

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>members that like we always want to like look out

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>for a stick up four and be supportive for And

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I get that a lot from them

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>as well. Um, like I I like cheering on my

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 1>friends and my family and like the people that like

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I love, so I feel like they definitely helped with that.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like whenever you help and lift other

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 1>people up, it's just gonna make you feel good, and

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna help lift you up as well. I mean,

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>it's basically like treating people how you would want to

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 1>be treated, even necessarily if it's not reciprocated. You know,

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like people forget that, Like, you know, everyone

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>isn't you, so you know, you just kind of have to.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>You just have to be a good person or you're

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>very not a good person. You know. It also really

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>shows like who you surround yourself with, because I think

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>like and obviously it's really hard as you're a teenager,

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>because and you're as you're growing up, because sometimes you know,

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you can let someone in who whose intentions you thought

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>were pure and they maybe they weren't. And I think

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>like even just having negative people around is such it

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>really affects your everyday life, and I think it's so important,

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Like and it's it's it's okay to make mistakes and

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to you know, make friends with people that you end

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>up realizing maybe aren't the best fit for you. But like,

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>as long as you are surrounding yourself with people who

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>are positive and kind and uplifting and people that really

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>motivate you to be a good person or have a

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>good day, I think it's really important. And even like

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 1>with Unia, like every every time I know I hang

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>out with you, I know I'm going to leave feeling

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 1>happy or I'm feeling good because but it's true, You're

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>just a genuine, like happy soul and you have such

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>great intentions and you're just such a kind person and

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it really shows and it it radiates like everything, Like

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I think anyone who could look at you could just say, wow,

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>that person looks like a very nice person. You are true,

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>literally I love that. That's so sweet. But like it's

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>such a big like that is a huge factor. Like

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you have to surround yourself with good people and people

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that like you know, we'll support you and look look

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>out for you. You have you have to have that

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 1>network of people. Of course, Um, well, I feel like

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>we haven't touched on this topic yet, but you have

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>a podcast I do, so do you want to talk

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that and how you came up

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>with the idea and you could maybe give us some

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>tips because you started before we did. So. I have

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a podcast with miss Tila Dunn called Adulting, and basically

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>what it's about is is, you know, in the name,

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>we just are going through our adult lives. And it's

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of cool because she's twenty five, I'm twenties, so

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>like there's a little bit of a difference, but we're

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>still like early on adults. You know, we're trying to

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 1>like figure out adulthood from like being a teenager. So

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that's like living by yourself, going to college, I don't know,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>taking care of your mental health, take care of your body. Um,

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>you're you know, how you handle relationships, not only you know, romantically,

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>but friendships as well. You know, there's a lot of

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>different factors in adulthood that you know, you you kind

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of just go through. It's exhausting, Like if you laundry,

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to wash your dishes, you have to go

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>get gas, you have to put your oil chains, like

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>there's so much and basically it's us, um just talking

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>about those things and how we do them and hopefully

0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>have a litlehead mind well doing them how amazing. I'm

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not there yet, but I listened to your

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>podcast as if I am one, Like, No, you definitely

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>are like an adult Maddie, like, you definitely are. You

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>guys are very independent. So if that's not adult thing,

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what is. What kind of sparked your

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>interest to do a podcast? Like besides obviously the fact

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>that you were like, we want to talk about this,

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>like was there because for us and like me and

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Kenzie specifically, we were just like and you can relate

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to this TUNI is like we have grown up with

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>people watching us in in the spotlight. I guess you

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>could call it. I've I don't know, and I I

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 1>feel like people feel like they know everything about us,

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 1>but they know a version of us. They know they

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they I think most of the time when people come

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>up and recognize us, don't you still feel like they

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>think we're like people because that we've evolved, we've changed,

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>We've grown up totally. So I feel like that's that's

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>cool too, that you have a podcast talking literally about

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>adult ing and like growing as a person and maturing

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>in your life and doing new things and trying new

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>things and figuring out life in its own And I

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>think that's really important because I think people really, you know,

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.439
<v Speaker 1>are stuck in this like version of us. So it's

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 1>cool to see that we're growing up and we're evolving,

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna mankee mistakes and we're gonna have success

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to do all the things, because that's

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what it's like to be an adult exactly Exactly, there's

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>upstairs downs, but yeah, basically kind of like the same

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 1>thing as you guys. Like I felt like, you know,

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I've I'm twenty now, and I was like, you know what,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 1>it's time for people to like hopefully like if they listen,

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>they can see how much I've grown as a person,

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>you know. And then also I think it was just

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>something that it was something that was passionate about because

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I like talking in a way where like I like

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>talk shows, and I felt like it's kind of like

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 1>a little talk show. Isn't it so fun? Like talking microphone?

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Sorry this is so I don't mean to cut you off,

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>but nia remember we had a talk show when we

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>were younger. Yes, well why did we actually it? And

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>it was called t Talk, wasn't it? No? No No, no,

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it was called it was called celeb Secrets. Oh, secrets,

0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>did you. Guys used to film it in like the

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>hotels we have filming in the hotels. We would sit

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>on chairs like in the in the hallway, or it

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>would be like a bench and we would just set

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>up our iPad and be like, so, yeah today, yeah,

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>welcome to that's the memories. I know, but I continue.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, stop. I guess we've always just like talking. Yeah,

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 1>we all love talking. We love it because maybe we

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 1>got to bring it back. Maybe we bring Oh my god,

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>what about the farm. That's what I'm like, What about

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>the farm? We always said we would have one. We

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>were going in on investment right now, I think we

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.719
<v Speaker 1>should actually start looking. I need to tell everyone this.

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Because we were obsessed with video games, Niah and I especially,

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>We would always sit together on the bus because both

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 1>of us like, I don't know why, why didn't we

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>We always just like that was just like all right, um,

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and so we would play Minecraft and we would make farm.

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>You also played it as well, but we would make

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a farm every time we played. It would be literally

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a different day, different farm, every single day. And we've

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>always every day and we would We've been saying since

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>we were like six, I was six years old that

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>we were going to have a farm. We really need

0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to know what I think. We just haven't made it

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to that. Yeah, but I do know in our lifetime

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have this farm. You know what you

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>could do? You could have a talk show on your phone.

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, it's called It's called Alpacas Secrets Secret

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'm so funny. We're like breaking baby goats. We're

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>gonna have baby chickens. We're gonna have baby horses, We're

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna have It's like, do we realize that these babies

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>will grow up a right? Like that is funny. Yeah,

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>we're like just baby pigs, just baby pigs, just babies, babies. Remember,

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>we would like kill all of the you know, like

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.199
<v Speaker 1>in Minecraft, were like you can spawn a bunch of

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>animals and then like we would only keep the baby ones.

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>We would never keep the big ones. Ever, we don't keep. Yeah,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>so bad. Well, now you've learned that in your adult

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>ing podcast that not only do we evolve and grow

0:12:53.080 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>up and others and everything else in life that's hilarious.

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>This is kind of off topic, but imagine like because

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you're a competition dancer and you basically

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>just plan for your life to be that you compete

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>from whenever you start to like till you're graduating high school.

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>So like, imagine if we imagine if we like continued

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>competing until we were eighteen, and how different our lives

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.599
<v Speaker 1>would be. I think about that sometimes and I'm like,

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my, it would be so toxic. Oh my gosh,

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm so happy we we did because like because

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>it literally just like it's so bad for your mental

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>on your body, on your on your mental health. Just

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 1>like it's a lot, it's a lot, and I'm so

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.719
<v Speaker 1>happy we were like able to like get out of

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>that world and experience like our teens um not in

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.959
<v Speaker 1>that environment. I think it's really nice and like it's

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>so funny because when we were younger, I would always think,

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>like why do you, like why are there as many seniors?

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Like why do you ever why does everyone always quit

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.199
<v Speaker 1>like senior year or whatever. I'm like, I know, I

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>know why. Now I'm like, because at a certain point,

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>you just want to like have certain experiences with friends, families,

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>just milestone milestones and um being in you know, that

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>competition dance world, and it might be great for some,

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>but it might just not work for other people. So

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of nice to kind of get both

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sides of it, like at least, you know, our our

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>childhood was, you know, you know, in front of a

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>camera doing competition dance like what seven like insane too,

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of having like a regular life and

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>going back to school and having friends outside the dance

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know, trying to figure out other things that

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you're passionate about, even for normal people. I mean, we

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>are normal people, but you get what I mean for

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>kids that for kids that go to school and go

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to dance, it's just still your entire life. You have

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to devote so much time that like you don't have

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 1>time for friends, you don't have time for these things.

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>So it's just like dance takes a big toll, and

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I think also, I'm so happy that we

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 1>were able to like get out of competition world when

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>we did, because we already started kind of having pretty

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>intense body issues when we were young, like even when

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we were like eleven, like ten eleven, twelve, thirteen, And

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>just imagine how much that would progress. And I'm not

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>saying I don't have body issues, because I definitely have

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of like I I definitely have body dysmorphy,

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think we all do um and I think

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>anyone who you know in our generation who has social

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>media can probably But it's crazy how like you think,

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, okay, fine, I'm out of the competition one.

0:15:58.040 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to deal with it anymore, and then

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you go on social media and you're like, oh, here

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I am again comparing myself and wishing I look different.

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just like an ongoing cycle that it's not even like,

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not even what situation you're in, it's just kind

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>of carries along with you. And I think that is

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>also why like going back to your role model Monday,

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>is just because you can see that there can be

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 1>so many different types of people who do different hobbies,

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 1>do different things, who are all different skin colors, who

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>are all different body sizes, and everyone is beautiful in

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>their own way. And I think it's just really important

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to show. And something that I think we should that

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>we all you know, are trying to navigate is just like, man,

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 1>it's hard being a teenager and growing up in competition

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 1>world as a dancer, being told you need to look

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>fit or whatever, and then carrying that into social media.

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a really toxic, especially like growing up as

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a dancer, you're just like so hyper aware of your

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 1>body in general, like whether it's feeling really, whether it's

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 1>not feeling okay, whether it's um you don't like how

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it looks in the mirror, because you're always staring after

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself in the mirror in the dance too constantly, you know. Um,

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 1>so you're very aware of what your body looks like,

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>what your body can do, what your ability is. And

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people who are also just

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>like in sports and athletics can like relate as well.

0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>So like coming from that world to even just like

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>to social media, seeing it still just kind of like

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 1>transfer over to social media kind of crazy. It's it's

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>really weird because you would think that you could get

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>once you stopped doing whatever that was, it would be done.

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to worry about it anymore. But then

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>now we stopped into like this new like area and

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>it's social social media, and you know all those curated

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 1>pictures of everyone looking perfect, because let's be honest, is

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone's highlight reel. No one's going to post like a

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>bad picture of themselves. You know, so we're all basing

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>our normal lives off of someone's like picture perfect life

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>on social media, and that creates like a lot of

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>comp with in your head because if you're like, oh

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.640
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, like I'm not doing this or I don't

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>look like that, and oh my gosh, it's a mess.

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's why it's really good. It's a mess.

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a mess, yeah, but I think that's I think

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.439
<v Speaker 1>it's really important that you know, people keep on sharing,

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you know that we're all in this together. And like,

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 1>although social media can be great because I can post

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.399
<v Speaker 1>things like my role model mondays, it can also be

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>really harmful as well, because you know, you see so

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 1>many different people, so many different things, so many different

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.359
<v Speaker 1>opinions where you kind of feel lost or you feel

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 1>like you know you're not good enough. So I feel

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>like it's really good that you guys are like bringing

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.160
<v Speaker 1>up this conversation and like kind of just letting people

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 1>know that you relate. And then we all have insecurities

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and things that we're dealing with, um just to feel like,

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 1>just to make the world a little smaller and make

0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the world feel hopefully a little bit more comfortable with themselves. Um,

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>even though it is kind of hard, but I definitely think,

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>like you know, social media cleanses sometimes could be nice,

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, like taking taking stuff back, take a day

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.640
<v Speaker 1>off from social media. Um, you know, just certain things

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like that. I can honestly kind of kind of help

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you in that sort of way. But totally everyone's everyone's

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 1>struggles with nowadays. But it's because of you and and

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.800
