And that tagline is what I 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 3: thought about for our guests today. 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that sounds pretty accurate. I mean, talk 15 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: about building the life you want from scratch. Camila Alves 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: McConaughey emigrated to the United States from Brazil at just 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: fifteen years old. 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 3: When she arrived in the US, she took on any 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 3: odd job that she could make money at. She was 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: waiting tables, she was cleaning houses, all while learning English 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: mm hmm. 22 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: And then Camilla pursued a modeling career and her big 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: break came when she landed a billboard in Times Square. 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: Since then, she's been on the covers of several magazines 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: and has walked the runway for brands like Valentino and 26 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: Carolina Herrera. And yes, maybe you've seen her in an 27 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 2: appearance or two alongside her husband, Matthew McConaughey. 28 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,639 Speaker 3: And she's really created a platform that stands for something. 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 3: It's called Women of Today, and she says she's really 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: on a mission. And then on her Instagram you'll see 31 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: she's a huge advocate for health and healthy eating and 32 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: is just so family first. She's the co author of 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: this children's book, Just Try One Bite, which made it 34 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: onto the New York Times bestseller list. 35 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: We are such big fans of Just Try a One 36 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: Bite in our house. You know. I actually have my 37 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: mom to thank for this. Danielle. 38 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: She started reading this book to them, and then I 39 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: realized that my kids would come home and say all 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: these new words that I hadn't heard them say before, 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: like whole foods, and they were talking about eating healthy. 42 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: And then I realized that it was Camilla's writing that 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: is introducing all this new language into their vocabulary and 44 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: helping them learn about the power of eating healthy. 45 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 4: That's really amazing. 46 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: It's not easy to get kids interested in whole foods 47 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: or healthy foods, right, that must be quite a book. 48 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's cracked the code here. You know what else 49 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: I'm really interested in hearing about from Kamila. 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: What's that? 51 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 5: Well? 52 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: A few years back, she and her husband, Matthew decided 53 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: to move to Texas, which is where Matthew is from. 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: And I'm really curious to hear how this lifestyle shift 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: has changed them as a family. And they've just always 56 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: seemed so down to earth, so this seems like a 57 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 2: fit for them. 58 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: It is not easy to get kids excited about whole 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: foods or healthy foods, so I think what she's doing 60 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: must be really special. And Simone, I have to tell 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: you everything I know about her is from the Internet 62 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 3: or from Instagram. I don't really know who Camilla really is, 63 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: and I'm excited to get to know where with you today. 64 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk to her as well. 65 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: Let's bring her in, Kamila Alvis McConaughey, Welcome to the 66 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: bright Side. 67 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 5: Thank you all so much for having me. 68 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: You know, I looked at your Instagram before we started 69 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: and it says woman on a mission. 70 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 4: I'm so curious what that means to you. Why you 71 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 4: wrote that. 72 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 5: I just think that as women we go to different transitions, 73 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 5: different stages of life. I should really say it's human beings. Really, 74 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 5: that's not only a women thing, it's it's human beings. 75 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 5: We go through different stages of life. I feel like 76 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 5: every stage of our life brings different missions. And for me, 77 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 5: I have this mission that I just want to do better. 78 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 5: I want to do better for myself. I wanted to 79 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: do better for my family. I want to do better 80 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 5: for my community. So that's kind of like my when 81 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 5: I say women in a mission, it kind of gives 82 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 5: me excited to kind of accomplish or to follow through 83 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 5: instead of like I must do you know what I mean? 84 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 5: Mission just sounds more fun and exciting. 85 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: It's the I get to versus I have to framing. 86 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I just had a conversation about this. 87 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 5: If that shift is something that has really helped me, 88 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: even for the smallest things, the simplest things. Look, we 89 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: have three kids, right Like, sometimes I'm in the car 90 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 5: for six hours straight. This is six to seven hours 91 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 5: straight driving from this to the school to that, school 92 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 5: and then come back and then what I've doctor whatever 93 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 5: it is, and my kids. Hence we are in a 94 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: unique situation. I understand that not everybody can do that, 95 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 5: and I go, I get to do this. I get 96 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 5: to be in the car with them. I get to 97 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 5: have the ability to drive them. I get to have 98 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 5: a car to take them. I like, all of a sudden, 99 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm happy, and we're having different conversations instead 100 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 5: of me being stuck in traffic, you know, bitching about 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 5: how am I stuck in traffic? Right So, even for 102 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 5: the simple things like that too, when you have a 103 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 5: really big problem, right Like, I had somebody that was 104 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 5: in the hospital and it was like it was a 105 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 5: really bad situation, drop everything and go take care of that. 106 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 5: And why you're there, It's like, well, I get to 107 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 5: be here and care for help care for this person. 108 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 5: Right Like, even that gives you a different energy to 109 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 5: win into situations. 110 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 2: Camilla, you mentioned having this mission or purpose to girge 111 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: you through life's transitions. What stage of life are you 112 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: in right now? Because I totally relate to, especially as 113 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: a woman going through different life stages. Right there's like 114 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: the time pre kids, pre husband, where you have your 115 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: independence and all you can. You get to be selfish, right, 116 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: and then you get married there's another person that you 117 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: need to factor into your life. Then you have kids 118 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: and there are more responsibilities, and then hopefully we find 119 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: our way back to ourselves and find the things that 120 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: light us up. 121 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: What stage of life would you say that you're in. 122 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 5: I think that I am on the serving stage of life. 123 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 5: It is not necessarily about all the things that I 124 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 5: want to do. The season right now for me is 125 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: to really make sure that the people I love have 126 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 5: everything that they need so they can succeed on their journey. 127 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 5: And it is challenging and beautiful at the same time 128 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 5: because it is a compromise. You sit back and go 129 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: but I could have been doing this, so I could 130 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: have been doing that, and I say no to this, 131 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 5: I say no to that, And I'm not telling people 132 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 5: that that's what they should do, because everybody has different 133 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 5: definitions of what success is for them. At this stage 134 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 5: of my life, it's more of making sure everybody that 135 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 5: I love has everything they need, because if they're good, 136 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 5: my heart is good, and if my heart is good, 137 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 5: then everything else falls into place. And I'm trusting and 138 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 5: cultivating things slowly, but planting little seeds and cultivating to 139 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 5: where when that stage passes, I don't have to start 140 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 5: all over again, right, Like, I don't have to start 141 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 5: all over again and be lost of like what do 142 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 5: I do now? Because I've had a lot of older 143 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 5: friends and I've had so many conversations with them, and 144 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 5: I have seen some of my friends go through this 145 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 5: stage where they only educated one hundred percent to just 146 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 5: the kids, and then once the kids out of their house, 147 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 5: they don't know what to do. They're fully lost and 148 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 5: trying to figure out to start all over again. That's 149 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: really hard. 150 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: I really like the name of your lifestyle brand. It's 151 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: called Women of Today, and it's devoted to everything from 152 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: cooking and health to style, work, family. I'm wondering, what 153 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: do you think it means to be a woman in 154 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four? What does it mean to be a 155 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: woman of today? 156 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 5: You know, Look, I'll tell you why I name it 157 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 5: Women of Today. It goes back to the things we 158 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 5: were talking the beginning of the transitions, the different stages 159 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 5: that would go in life. We know that that stage 160 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 5: is going to pass, no stages forever. So this idea 161 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 5: of women of today. Being in every stage that you're 162 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 5: in and every age that you're in, you're going to 163 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 5: have new things that are exciting to learn. And the 164 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 5: most important thing for me what this journey with the 165 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 5: women of today was to be able to learn from 166 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 5: each other and to also have a community that wasn't 167 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: just specific one age group or one demograph. My go 168 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 5: from day one was I want young, I want older, 169 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 5: I want middle, I want all you know, all the 170 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: I wanted to feel exactly.

I have a lot 186 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 5: of stories from that time in my life that I 187 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 5: share a lot with the kids, and that time was 188 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 5: very formative for me. I don't think I would be 189 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 5: the first I am today fighting had that experience in 190 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 5: my life. 191 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: Is there a story that sticks out to you, I'd 192 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 3: be really curious to know something that's close to your 193 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 3: heart from that time. 194 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 5: I actually he was just talking with my eleven year old. 195 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 5: We went to shake check the other day and just 196 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 5: last week, and it were a Garrett French fries and 197 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 5: for and we sat down, just him and I. We 198 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: were eating the French fries, and I went, hey, Bud, 199 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 5: you know when mama was this age and she was 200 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 5: working do this and that, you know, I couldn't even 201 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 5: afford to buy the French fries, you know. And he 202 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 5: was like what it was like, Yeah, I couldn't have 203 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 5: afford to buy the French fries. So me and this 204 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 5: older lady who who she was Brazilian and then we 205 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 5: cleaned houses in the same area. We became friends. I said 206 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 5: we would go to the dollar store and I told 207 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 5: her because because you know, when you're from a different country, 208 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 5: especially from South America. I'm really going to say from 209 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 5: South America. The mentality is you work, and you said, 210 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 5: you know, you help your family back home, right, you 211 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 5: kind of become big responsible for the family back home. 212 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 5: And the challenge with that is that you end up 213 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: really not doing anything for yourself. So I told this 214 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 5: lady one day, I said, you know what, We're going 215 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 5: to take one dollar a week and we're going to 216 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: go to the dollar store together and we're gonna buy 217 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 5: one thing for ourselves. Okay, so just so we can 218 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 5: feel good about the hard work that we put in 219 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 5: this week. So we will go to the dollar store 220 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 5: and buy I don't know it, know, be a hair 221 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 5: clip or a little makeup thing for a dollar. And 222 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: it's really good dollar dollar store in Torrance, California. But 223 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 5: I still go back there, believe it or not. I 224 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 5: still go back and I take the kid. We would 225 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 5: do that, and it was a McDonald's just around the 226 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 5: corner from there, and we would then go to the 227 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 5: McDonalds after the dinner time. And I told miss oh 228 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 5: Warder the burger and I say, sometimes we would just 229 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 5: sit there and wait because people will leave their French 230 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 5: fries behind and we'll go and we'll take the fresh side. 231 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 5: That's how we will get the fries. That's amazing. 232 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: How did you have a vision at that time of 233 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 4: what could be? 234 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 5: I don't think I had a of what it could be. 235 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 5: I think I had a vision that I wanted to 236 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 5: do something better for me and at that time, right 237 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 5: at that time, for me, it meant to evolve. I 238 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 5: didn't want to be in one place. I didn't want 239 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 5: to be settling too one thing that I came here 240 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 5: to do. And I remember I used to set a prayer. 241 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 5: I used to you know, I believe in the power 242 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 5: of prayer. I'll be driving in the car and listening 243 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 5: to India IRI at those times, just a lot of 244 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 5: you know, inspiring songs, and I would pray.

And I want to make this 249 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: very clear, I'm not saying that doing that kind of 250 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 5: job is anything bad, is nothing wrong. It's a job 251 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 5: to take a lot of pride in it. But I 252 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 5: always wanted to learn more and get to the next level. 253 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 5: So I went from like cleaning houses to not speaking 254 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 5: the language, working on a Mexican restaurant there was only 255 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 5: the menu was only numbers, because that's all I knew. 256 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 5: I was like, okay, number three, I got it, you know. 257 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 5: Then working in an Italian restaurant, then having to really 258 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 5: learn the language too, you know.

So 456 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: if someone were to ask your kids this question, how 457 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 2: you think they would answer it? 458 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: What does it mean to be in ma? 459 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 5: Hey? 460 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: What do you think your kids think it means to 461 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: be a McConaughey, You. 462 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 5: Got me on that one. I can't answer that question 463 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 5: because that would be a question that you have to 464 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 5: ask my kids. Yeah, but I'll tell you what. It's 465 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 5: a big value that we install in our kids, and 466 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 5: that's a respect respect for everything in life, not just 467 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: what you believe in, respect for what others believe in, 468 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 5: respect for other people's experiences, so what they bring to 469 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 5: the table, respect for yourself, respect for elders, respect for 470 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 5: your body. We're big values. We have a lot of 471 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 5: values that we try to teach our kids. And I 472 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 5: think that if a lot of parents stick to remembering 473 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 5: the core values and not worrying as much about being 474 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 5: a best friend, you can still be a best friend 475 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 5: and teach values and know when to say no say yes. 476 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 5: It's okay to be the tough one sometimes they need that. 477 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 5: I was just reading a thing that Drew Barrymore actually wrote. 478 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 5: She wrote on her Instagram, and she said when she 479 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 5: was young, she never heard no. Nobody told her no 480 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 5: when she was young, and as a kid, she needed 481 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 5: that boundary. She needed somebody to be saying to her, no, 482 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 5: you cannot do that. And because she didn't, she pushed 483 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 5: it all the way into a way that wasn't healthy 484 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 5: for her. Right. So it's okay to be tough sometimes 485 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: with respect, with kindness, but it's okay to say no. 486 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 5: So we're bigging vatless that I can say we're not perfect. 487 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 5: Nobody's perfect on this and does I come with the manual? 488 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 5: And every kid is different, right, But I tell them 489 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 5: all the time, anytime that you look back in life, 490 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 5: you'll be able to say that we try our best. 491 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 5: We've tried our very best.
