1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Valves Edge podcast. This is Kelly

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: and this week on the podcast is actually my two

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: part are my second part of a two part series

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: with Amy Brown from the Bobby Bones Show. You guys

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: really submitted so many questions for her, and we talked

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: for over an hour, so I decided that this should

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: be a two part series. So this week we're talking

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: about food what we eat, so we're kind of breaking

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: down the nutrition stuff that we've learned, and also about

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: her two kids that she just adopted from Haiti and

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: the transition of being just a working girl to a

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: working mom. So I hope you guys enjoy here's Amy. Um. Okay,

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: so kind of one the topic of just physical looks

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: and all of that kind of stuff. People wanted to know,

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: how do you stay it's a fit and I see

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: you work out a good fit so now, and I

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: just don't see myself as like a fit aspiration person

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: or I don't know. I do take care of myself.

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: I do make I do make a point to make

20
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: time for that because when I don't, I know, I

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: don't feel my best mentally. And that's not always a

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: physical thing. It's an emotional um and physical or mental

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: thing as well. Uh, I think they're all tied together.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: So I try to do My friend Gracie comes over

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: sometimes during the week and we do Tracy Anderson method.

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Google it this my blog. Okay, then you

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: need a link to her five minute arms for Gwyneth

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: video on YouTube. Are so hard and so when Gwyneth

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Paltrow was getting ready for Iron Man, like, she had

30
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: her do this. She was training your hardcore. But there

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: was also this video I found on YouTube. So that's

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: when I first found Tracy Anderson. And then now I

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: do more of her workouts, but it's a lot of

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: like tiny movements and no weights over three pounds, So

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I do that with grace and then um I have

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I do like more heavier weights with a trainer a

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: couple of times a week, and then I do yoga

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: and I just started doing the trainer stuff I did do.

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: I did do all yoga, and um, I that's really

40
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: good for me. And now that I'm not doing that

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: as much, I kind of miss it and I need

42
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: it back in because I think the breathing and that

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: is really good for me, and sometimes the stillness and

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: then it comes down to me, like sometimes I just

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: listen to my body. And I know that sounds so cliche,

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: like just listen to your body, but really it will

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: tell you what it needs if you are in tune

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: with it, which I have not always been, but I'm

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: getting more more in tune, and I just listen to

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: what I need. And sometimes, honestly, that's even a rest day,

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: just go for a walk, get some vitamin D like

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: a little son. And self care, I think is something

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: that I struggle with at times because I feel so

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: especially now with kids and working and doing um shoppest

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: bass stuff with Mary and um just balancing that life.

56
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: And then sometimes I'm like, oh, I gotta take my

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: workout time. I feel like selfish sometimes, but then I

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: immediately around myself like nope, this is part of maintaining

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a healthy life and taking care of yourself, whether whatever

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: that self care looks like. I mean you and I've

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: even talked about it before, like sometimes just do you

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: need a bath and you completely can just soak in

63
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: some epps and salt, some lavender minutes. Taking that time

64
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: for yourself, I think is so crucial, and that's that's

65
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: part of my routine, is self care and trying to

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: eat as good as possible, being in touch with your

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: body is, but not getting so obsessed with the eating.

68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like I get a lot of these questions.

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you did about eating specifically, I

70
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: was one of them, one of the main Actually that

71
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: was probably the number one question I got was what

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: do you eat? Like? What do you eat on a

73
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: daily basis? Because I do talk about how healthy you are,

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: like you eat. I remember listening to some shows and

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: You're like, eating spinach out of a bag. I've been

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: known to do that, especially when I travel, like I spent.

77
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: We just went to Vegas for a c M S.

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: And I was sitting next to some people and they're like,

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: are you eating spinach out of a bag? That's terrible?

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: All I had? It's not. It's not because it makes

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: me feel good knowing if I'm gonna be traveling and

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: I'm probably not going to get any greens in my

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: body for a couple of days, if I can at

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: least take some with me in a baggie and do

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: my part to make sure I'm getting some of that ruffige,

86
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: and I just I feel better, and I'll cut up

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: a bell pepper and offly with that, I travel with lemons.

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm always making hot lemon water. I do that is

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: a morning ritual is hot lemon water every single morning.

90
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: And I got that from Kimberly Snyder. I say, there's

91
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: two nutritionists that I'm I go to and google and

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts like if they happen to be on

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: one or Kimberly actually has her own, but and that's

94
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: Kimberly Snyder and Kelly Lovec And they do have different

95
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: UM philosophies. I guess they do practice different things. But

96
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: for me, I found I just kind of combined what

97
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: works for me. If I get too honed in on

98
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: one particular plan. And that's what I was going to

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: say about when people ask me what I do every day,

100
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: It's like, well, what I do may not work for

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: somebody else, And if I try to go and do

102
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: what you do every day, what you do may not

103
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: work for me UM. And so I encourage people to

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: play around with things and not try to It's it's

105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: important to be educated and inform yourself and kind of

106
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: test out different things, but you gotta again listen to

107
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: your body. And there's times where I've done things based

108
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: on what it was working for other people, and I've

109
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: either gained weight or lost too much weight. And I

110
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: feel like now I'm trying to be in this healthy

111
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: place where I don't want to put so much emphasis

112
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: on food. Um, and just sort of like what does

113
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: it all the kids say these days, like living my

114
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: best life? What did I say? I just live my

115
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: best life? Which some of that is balanced, especially bringing

116
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: kids into my home, because there's now food in my

117
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: house that we used to never have. Um, but but

118
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: that isn't that's not my that's not my jam. I

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: love Blue Belt ice cream, don't get me wrong, but

120
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: that's been in the freezer for weeks, so you know,

121
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: that's why I'm not going to get But it's more

122
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: of like the popcorn, like snacky snacky stuff, chips and sauce, Yes,

123
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: just more of the and then sometimes having to cook differently.

124
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: And then it's just having more food around when sometimes

125
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: if it was just me and my husband was gone,

126
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: I can kind of just make little things for me

127
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: and I'd be fine. But then now there's just always

128
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: more food happening to snack more, eat more, and um.

129
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: But I want to be a part of those moments

130
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: like if we're I think that's also good for your soul.

131
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: Is if we're having movie night and the kids want

132
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: popcorn and they're like, well, I'm hot popcorn with us,

133
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: you know not while I try to have a healthy

134
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: pop We don't have a microwave, so I can't do

135
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: like pop popcorn. I want to start making it on

136
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the stovetop. My we used to do that when I

137
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: was growing. Yes, still, if I hear the noise, it's

138
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: very nostalgic for me to do that. But one of

139
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: my favorite brands to buy, which I get at Kroger

140
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: and sometimes Whole Foods will have it. Um, A Publix

141
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: may have it, but it's Buddha's bowl and it's like

142
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: a coconut oil or maybe even avocado oil or something.

143
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Well I think they have an avocado one, but coconut oil,

144
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: sea salt and popcorn so that it's only three ingredients.

145
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: That's the tip I would give to people. Don't try

146
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: to eat like somebody else. Well, let me finish my

147
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: first thought. This is my problem with talking. Brevity is

148
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: like not my thing. And then I have a d

149
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: D stim all over the place. But I will say

150
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss out on moments with my

151
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: family or like going to get ice cream with the kids,

152
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: because I'm going to beat myself up about having popcorn

153
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: or ice cream or whatever. I feel like if you

154
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: stress yourself out about that, you could almost be holding

155
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: on to weight simply because of stress, right, And that's

156
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: just not enjoying it, and that's not right. I don't

157
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: want to miss out on moments with them as a

158
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: family because I'm freaking out, like I can't have carbs

159
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 1: after three p m. Or whatever the case. Maybe or

160
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to have this sugar. It's like just

161
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: freaking have the ice cream with moderation in the right right.

162
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: And but I have like this is a whole another podcast,

163
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: But I have um and our listeners may know from

164
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: like years back, but I have food issues in my

165
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: past and even stuff that is creeped in when I

166
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: lost my mom, stuff that I deal with, like I know,

167
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: I deal with trauma or emotional events with control and

168
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: whether it's like what I'm eating or how I'm eating

169
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: and what's you know, what's put into my body. And

170
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: I've had times where I've gone down to an unhealthy

171
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: like a hundred and eight pounds, which for me, that's

172
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: not healthy. And right now I'm at a place where

173
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I feel like strong and healthy and I'm

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: working out and taking care of myself now one o eight,

175
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: when I would put on my jeans, was like, oh, wow,

176
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: these jeans feel great. But was I like freaking miserable inside? Yeah,

177
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: Like I get emotional even saying it, because I was

178
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: like not And people would even say to me like, oh,

179
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: what are you doing right now? And I like yeah.

180
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: They're like I need to know what diet you're on,

181
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: and I'd be like oh, and in my head I

182
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's called like the depressed. Like in

183
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: my head, I was like, ohf they only knew, like

184
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: this is just I'm not healthy. And then now I

185
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: love that I'm in a place where I'm her beer.

186
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm my yoga instructor told me the other day, she

187
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: said something like I remember when you were coming and

188
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: you had a lot of stress going on. Your mom

189
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: had just died and you had so much happening, and

190
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: she was like, you were just frail. And she's like,

191
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: now you're juicy, and I love yeah, And I said, yeah,

192
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I I still have moments where I

193
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh I could rump here, But I

194
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: think it's just about finding that balance and being healthy.

195
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: And now I definitely wait way more than I did

196
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: back and went away. But some of my clothes still fit.

197
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: They just fit juicier and it's good and I think

198
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: it's important to do that. So that's to wrap up, like,

199
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: don't stress about those moments and missing out um on

200
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: family time or special things regarding food. But like you said,

201
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: just find that moderation and don't go crazy. I wasn't

202
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna say we've both had experienced of Chloe in the

203
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: health talk, do we want to talk about that? I mean, yeah,

204
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: I learned about clinics from Kimberly Snyder at first. She

205
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: recommended that in the book and I was trying to

206
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: get pregnant, so I was like, you know, I got

207
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: my first clonics. Yeah, it's probably when I was twenty

208
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: eight or something. And do you still get them today?

209
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: Not as much as I did back then, But I

210
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: still will go sometimes if I try to be as

211
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: regular as possible, but if i'm not, I'll go just

212
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: to try to get a good cleaning. And everyone has

213
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: a different perspective on that, because Kimberly stiders like way

214
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: into them and then Kelly leaves like I don't really

215
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: think they're necessary. So because she thinks if you're eating

216
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: clean enough, then you should write and that you don't

217
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: want to remove that there's good and bad bacteria in

218
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: your gut, and she doesn't want you to remove any

219
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: of it, like you don't want to remove any of it,

220
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: like you do want to eliminate it through using the

221
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: restroom yourself, but let your body do its thing. But

222
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I just need a good reset, you

223
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: need a good momentum. So they've made me very sick.

224
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: But both times when I was doing my little juice

225
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: retreat and the other time I was doing a twenty

226
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: seven day detox here, which I mean it had food,

227
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: but it was like I did these, I totally switched

228
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: my diet. But I do want to say so anyway,

229
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: I haven't had the best experience with them, but I'm

230
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: willing to try in a different scenario. But I do

231
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: want to say about the food to something I was thinking,

232
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: this is the last little tip is the reason we

233
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: do this is to feel better, And the one of

234
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: the benefits I've seen from doing the resets. Is like

235
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I was drinking a pot of coffee a day and

236
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: now I drink a cup two cups on bad days.

237
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: But I don't need it the way I used to

238
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: because I think of food more as fuel versus just

239
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: like bogging you down. You don't want to rely on

240
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: the stimulant like caffeine to get through the day. And

241
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like that's just a message

242
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: I wanted. Yeah, like just it's not about and feeling

243
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: your body, but it's not about not eating and trying

244
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: to feel your best because you're not. I think that

245
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: our society is going in a healthier direction with body

246
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: image and figure, like Curvier is gaining, Like you see

247
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: more of these influential people. Um, okay, fine, I'll say it.

248
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: I followed and I was gonna say it too. But

249
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: there's even like Demi Lovato or like there's others a

250
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: conversation like it's but a lot of like an even

251
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift like now is a little bit more, Um,

252
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: I've noticed kind of juicier, which, um, a lot of

253
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: kids look up to these people, and I think that

254
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: there's there's a time where like really really skinny and

255
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: if you're naturally skinny, like you're naturally skinny, but you

256
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: work out and you also take care of yourself and

257
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I feel like you got one of the best booties

258
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: high five. Hey, So I mean you there's some skinny

259
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: you can't control. But if some people are having to

260
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: starve themselves to it, hain't a certain look like that's

261
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: just not the way your body's built. Like, we've got

262
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: to start loving ourselves and owning who we are. And

263
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that can come through the

264
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: self doing different types of self care where you're loving yourself,

265
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: that's you giving your time for your body and what

266
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: you need and these different moments of reset, like making

267
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: yourself feel your best and who cares if someone's going

268
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: to judge you at work if you're not eating the

269
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: crap that they're serving, Like, just I go through that too.

270
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: That's one of the most annoying things. And with someone

271
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: comments on you trying to eat healthy, it's like, well,

272
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: it's really just about them. Yeah, I'm like where that.

273
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm not hitting on you for eating yea.

274
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: So yes, I will continue to bust out my spinage

275
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: in a ziplog bag on an airplane. But um gosh,

276
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: did I hit on you? I was making fun of

277
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: it a little, know, I know, I don't mind if

278
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: people want to make fun of me. I mean people do.

279
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: I've always been like, what is she doing? I know,

280
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: well that started to you with with Kimberly because I

281
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: would do the glowing green smoothie every day, but then

282
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: sometimes I just didn't have time to make a smoothie,

283
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: so I would just get a green apple and like

284
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: some celery and some spinage and make a smoothie. To

285
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: crave the greens when you've been doing them consistently, when

286
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I know a day I don't go without greens. I

287
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: know I have some we can I'll give you the things.

288
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: You can link it in the podcast. But I have

289
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: something I travel with and I can't get greens called

290
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: green vibrants, and I really like it. And if it

291
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: is your water, you just shake it up in water

292
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: and then I just drink it, like if when I

293
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: go to Haiti a lot, although I've been known to

294
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: travel with glowing green smoothies too Haiti in my luggage

295
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: and its successfully made it there. I thought it was

296
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna explode, but it didn't. If you're someone listening that

297
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: travels and you're looking for a way to get some nutrients. Um,

298
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: you know it's not I'm not saying it's like the

299
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: best tasting thing in the world. But you just put

300
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: in some water and throw it back. You're going to

301
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: get feel better. You'll feel better. Yeah. So another question,

302
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: I think kind of another big one we got was

303
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: everyone wants to know about the kids. And so I

304
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: obviously some of the people listening our listeners at the shows,

305
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: they know the story, but for those who don't, would

306
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: you kind of tell the story? You just adopted two

307
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: kids from Haiti. Yeah, it was quite the process. Quite

308
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: the process. We're in the process for about five years

309
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: and they just got home in December and it's April now,

310
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: Um so they've been here just over four months, and

311
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy. It's crazy over here. I'm like, oh, yeah,

312
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: you have two kids, and I know, I'm like, I

313
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: forget that too sometimes I kind of shoot, I'm caring

314
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: for little humans. My husband and are like, you want

315
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: to go out tonight? Oh wait, do have a sittery?

316
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, we have a daughter she just turned eleven,

317
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: and a son that's seven, and they're both from Haiti.

318
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: They're not biological siblings, but they were both at the

319
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: same orphanage but different moms. And Dad's well, since i've

320
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: known you, you've been going through the adoption process. Yeah,

321
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: so it took forever years. And I'll say, hey, it's

322
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: been the first few months, and I think this might

323
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: happen to new parents and maybe some people listening when

324
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: they give birth and you have like a screaming baby

325
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: and you don't know what to do. You may look

326
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: at your partner and be like, what have we done?

327
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: You know? But I mean you're not taking it back,

328
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: You're just like what you know. We definitely had some

329
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: of those nights we were just staring at each other

330
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: like what have we done? Like we're not cut out

331
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: for this, This is over our head, this is above

332
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: our pay grade. Yeah, we're not even getting paid. Yeah,

333
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: like that is the way above your paid for this,

334
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: Like what? But there was some rough moments. I mean

335
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: there was many a times where I was just in

336
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: my closet, retreating to cry and trying to figure out

337
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: what this whole mom thing is, especially to two kids

338
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: that are coming from such hurt and abandonment and they

339
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: don't even know what love and family looks like. But

340
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: yet my husband I just thought we would march them,

341
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: ride on through the door and be like, welcome home.

342
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Isn't as fabulous? And they were like, no, you took

343
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: us from the only life we've ever known, so we're

344
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: going to basically give you the heisman and be defiant.

345
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: And but we've been slowly breaking down those I've got

346
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: some great mentors, people that have traveled this road before me,

347
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: and specifically I look up to Tracy Hamilton's and this

348
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: one girl named Jamie Ivy who's out of Austin, both

349
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: adopted from Haiti Older Kids, because I do feel like

350
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: older kids is a different experience than if you end

351
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: up with a baby, but there's still attachment. Even with

352
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: a baby, there's an adoption, there's still an attachment issue thing,

353
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: but without other people. That's what I love about community

354
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: and loving others and sharing and giving information, similar to

355
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: kind of how I listen to podcasts all the time

356
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: to get information and feel like I'm not alone. And

357
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: there's been tons of times I've just and googling, you know,

358
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: adoption podcasts from orphanages in another country or foster get

359
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: like anything that could pertain to kind of what my

360
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: kids were going through, and like hearing other parents say

361
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: out loud that they've thought some of the same same

362
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: thoughts that I thought, where I'm like I could never

363
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: repeat this thought like I'm crazy. I would tell my

364
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: husband like, you might need to commit me to a

365
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: special place because I feel crazy right now. And then

366
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: I would listen to these podcasts or talk to Jamie

367
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: or Tracy and they were like, you're not crazy and

368
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: saying not alone, you will get through this. Um. So

369
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you're going through in life, gosh, just

370
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: like find the people that can be there for you

371
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: if you can't, if you can't have them in your

372
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: immediate in a circle where you can talk to them,

373
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: then like, thank you podcasts, because I kind of yeah,

374
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been quite the adjustment, but we're getting over.

375
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: Like I would say, the last four weeks have just

376
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: and so amazing. I don't think I've gone to my

377
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: closet to cry once, so that's huge. Um. I our

378
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: daughter is just progressing in such a way where I

379
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: because I knew them in Haiti for five years, so

380
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: I knew her personality, so I saw her personality there

381
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: and then we first got here, I saw it totally change,

382
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: and I'm like that was hard for me because I

383
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: was like, why does she hate me? What was happening?

384
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: And now I see her opening up and their English

385
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: is getting better and they're smiling and they're loving, and

386
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: she like came and just this happened probably three days.

387
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: This happened maybe on Thursday, Thursday, Friday. She was so

388
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: excited to see you when I walked through the door,

389
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: and then she kind of we were talking about something

390
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: and then she kind of came over and gave me

391
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: a hug, like a weird hug, which like that doesn't

392
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: really happen that much, Like I have to hug her

393
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: and she's still resistant, which is weird because in Haiti

394
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: we hugged out the time and she she hugged me,

395
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: and I she caught herself almost like yeah, and then

396
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: she kind of twirled around, but like, oh, my heart

397
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: just sunk because I was like, she just hugged me.

398
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: And you know, every night we put them to bed

399
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: and I say good night, Sashira, good night, Stevenson. I

400
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: love you, and there's crickets like they're just basically like

401
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow, and like I'm like Okay, so I'm

402
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: still awaiting. And even Tracy's husband, Scott Hamilton's who some

403
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: people would know it is. I don't know, a really

404
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: big deal in the Olympic ice skating world, but they're

405
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: they've just been so amazing. But I remember him sharing

406
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: a story with me about their daughter, like every day

407
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: he would drop her off her school, and I want

408
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: to say it was like a year or longer, could

409
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: have even been to I should probably get that exact

410
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: date on that, but it was a long time. He

411
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: would drop her off at school every day, have a

412
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: great day at school. I love you, and she would

413
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: just get out, shut the door, have a great day.

414
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I love you, Get up, shut the door, and he said.

415
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: One day she got out, he said, have a great day.

416
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I love you, and she goes, I love you too, dad.

417
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And I hold on to that story though,

418
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: like him sharing that with me, Like I have goose

419
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: bumps right now saying it because I think of them

420
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: every time when sometimes I'm like, ah, don't they see

421
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: how much we love them? And I don't want to

422
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: force them to love us back, but it's like all

423
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: I've wanted is to be a parent and have that

424
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: bond and it doesn't matter to me if they ever

425
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: say it back, but gosh, it would just be nice

426
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: because I come from a family where we always said

427
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: I love you um, and we still do. Anytime I

428
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: hang up with my dad or my sister or even

429
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's always I love you by And even

430
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: with my mom when she was still alive, no matter

431
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: if it's a five minute conversation or an hour, it

432
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: was always like love you click. And for me to

433
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: not have that with my own kids yet and I

434
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: have to remember it's new, but I hold on to

435
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: Scott telling that story. One day. One day, I'm gonna

436
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: be like, goodnight, students say good nights, Nashira, and they're

437
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna say goodnight Mom, goodnight Dad, And I'm gonna be like, huh, Like,

438
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: I just hold on to that, and because I want

439
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: them to. It's not about me feeling loved, it's about them.

440
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: It's like them accepting my love. It's almost like because

441
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: of like, if they say it back, then they've accepted

442
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: that they can be loved and that it's safe and

443
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: they can love us. Because right now I don't feel

444
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: like they that's not safe to them, right So how

445
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: has it been transitioning from I know that the schedules

446
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: have obviously gotten a lot different too, and you've had

447
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: so much on your plate with the kids and focusing

448
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: on what the stuff you were even just talking about.

449
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: So but you have a full time job too, Yeah,

450
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I work. My husband works. So so something that was

451
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: weird and new to us was I mean, my husband,

452
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: I grew up nonny like nanny wasn't in our world,

453
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: and so it is weird for me to say that.

454
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: And I kept thinking, gosh, I just want a different

455
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: name because nanny sounds so pretentious, but it's it's not.

456
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: And they actually that's their profession and I've I've talked

457
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: to some about it and they're like, this is what

458
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: I do. I'm proud that I'm a nanny. I'm not like,

459
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: this is what I do and I'm here to make

460
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: your life better. Um, so we do have help. Um

461
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: we're about to be on our third nanny in four months.

462
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: So that's been interesting. But you know, and it's not

463
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: our fault or the kid's fault. It's just been some

464
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: thingsn't weren't working out, finding the right and it's like

465
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: not it's nothing's ever been on bad terms. It's not

466
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: like we're all I kept thinking like, is it us

467
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: a really horrible to work for it? But it really

468
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: has nothing to do that. It's just circumstantial. So anyway, um,

469
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: we just hired a new one so she's starts next

470
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: week and we'll see how that goes. But I couldn't

471
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: do it obviously without that, like working, especially because I

472
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: have to be at work so early sometimes my husband's

473
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: traveling and then the kids are there by themselves. So

474
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot of that too is our hours are not

475
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: really desirable. Some nanni's want like nine to five or six.

476
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, so can we split the day in a

477
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: two parts like super duper early in the morning and

478
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: then also like dinner time? Thank gosh. So finding that

479
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: right person has been a little bit difficult, but couldn't

480
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: do it without help for sure, So I have to

481
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: give shout outs to I mean, there's no way that

482
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: we're like super mom and dad like making it all happen. No,

483
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: we're just figuring out as we go. And honestly, no,

484
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: we're literally figuring out his go. Sometimes I feel like

485
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: I just need to go to Google and be like

486
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: how to be a mom today? It's like I do

487
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: not know what I'm doing. Hey, Hi, what are you

00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,480
