Speaker 1: What Up, guys, Welcome back to your favorite podcast, Cheeks
Speaker 1: and Chill. I know, and thank you so much for
Speaker 1: being here. I cannot believe tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: That is crazy, and I am in the Philippines with
Speaker 1: my husband, so we're going to be spending it out here.
Speaker 1: But AnyWho, this year has been full of lows and highs,
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, it's been a great year and I want
Speaker 1: to highlight a few things and also welcome twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five because I'm looking forward to it. So in one word,
Speaker 1: if I can describe twenty twenty four, I would say
Speaker 1: it was fulfilling. It was the year of fulfillment, very grateful.
Speaker 1: A lot has happened. I feel that it's been like
Speaker 1: three years or more in this one year. Let's start
Speaker 1: off with January and January twenty twenty four. We spent
Speaker 1: last New Years in Zion, Utah, our absolute favorite place,
Speaker 1: and we haven't been back since actually, and I missed
Speaker 1: it and I need it in my life. But anyways,
Speaker 1: we chose to spend it out there. We also decided
Speaker 1: that we were going to start the year off sober,
Speaker 1: so we did that the first ninety days of the year.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four were sober, no alcohol, no cannabis for me,
Speaker 1: no red meat, no coffee. I think it was one
Speaker 1: of the best things I could have done. On January fourth,
Speaker 1: I got my breast surgery, my fifth breast surgery. Guys,
Speaker 1: poor Emidio, he's been through two of them with me.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how the year started. You know.
Speaker 1: I was getting the scar revision and like I had
Speaker 1: something going on with my boob. It was just like
Speaker 1: this whole thing. Anyways, it was necessary. And then towards
Speaker 1: the end of January that's when I started IVF and
Speaker 1: I think that's what the first thing that threw me
Speaker 1: through a loop because it's a bunch of hormones. As
Speaker 1: you guys know, I talked about it here on the podcast.
Speaker 1: So I was injecting myself with hormones and it just
Speaker 1: took an emotional toll on me. It was a lot,
Speaker 1: but I'm grateful because I only had to do it once.
Speaker 1: A lot of women I here have to do a
Speaker 1: few cycles. I prayed and I was like, God, I
Speaker 1: just want to do it once because I know myself
Speaker 1: I'm already a cancer. I'm very emotional. I'm lunatic. Lunatica,
Speaker 1: not lunatic, but lunatica sounds better in English or in Spanish.
Speaker 1: Should I say I've never done birth control pills because
Speaker 1: I'm all the hormones and stuff like it really does
Speaker 1: affect me. I'm very in tune with my body. So
Speaker 1: that happened. That was how it started. And then we
Speaker 1: were sober, which kind of obviously helped. But sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: a glass of wine or some tequila makes things feel better.
Speaker 1: So I just really had no other choice but to
Speaker 1: face everything. Then I was started working on you know,
Speaker 1: the album, The Amanthis, And that's why it's so important
Speaker 1: to for me anyways as an artist, to really think
Speaker 1: about what I'm going to name the album, the concept
Speaker 1: and everything, because the whole concept, the whole theme was,
Speaker 1: like I said, diamonds and how a diamond is made,
Speaker 1: the process that it goes through, and I really felt
Speaker 1: it in my life in every aspect. Trying to finish
Speaker 1: the album, which round late, it was supposed to come
Speaker 1: out a lot sooner than it did. Also, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to put the tour together all while I'm going
Speaker 1: through all these things, all these emotions. I wasn't able
Speaker 1: to work out because of the breast surgery and then
Speaker 1: the IVF, and that also affects my psyche, you know,
Speaker 1: my mental health, not being able to work out. So
Speaker 1: I just felt a lot of pressure. Puli means being polished,
Speaker 1: and that's what I feel that this year has done
Speaker 1: for me. Twenty twenty four was a number eight, like
Speaker 1: the entire year for everyone in the world. So with
Speaker 1: the number eight, there's a lot of great things. This
Speaker 1: is like I'm talking to mirology now. A lot of
Speaker 1: great things come with it. It's everlasting, it's infinity, it's
Speaker 1: constantly flowing. And I felt like that happened this year
Speaker 1: a lot. And I also knew I was going to
Speaker 1: have what they call a karmic year, which means that
Speaker 1: all the seeds that I planted for good or for bad,
Speaker 1: I was going to sew in this year or see
Speaker 1: or reap you know, the benefits, or learn a lot
Speaker 1: of lessons. And let me tell you, that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that until towards the end of
Speaker 1: the year, where I'm like, oh, shoot, this is a
Speaker 1: number eight. Everything that has happened is supposed to happen.
Speaker 1: The nominations and all the recognition and all everything as
Speaker 1: far as, like you know, speaking career wise, everything I've
Speaker 1: been working towards for the past ten years. But it
Speaker 1: also left me a little depleted emotionally. There was a
Speaker 1: lot of work, A lot was going on. We had
Speaker 1: the miscarriage, We got married. That was a beautiful, amazing thing.
Speaker 1: And as you guys know, I also got divorced. And
Speaker 1: I had a very tough relationship and marriage before this one.
Speaker 1: And I know I made noticing me to talk about it,
Speaker 1: but it is part of my life and my history
Speaker 1: and it was a very very difficult, I guess relationship,
Speaker 1: and I learned a lot from it. And I think
Speaker 1: that because of that, and I was able to let
Speaker 1: that go. I mean, I got an amazing man, and
Speaker 1: I think that that's another thing, that another seed that
Speaker 1: I planted. And now I'm living a beautiful relationship and
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for that. So a lot has happened.
Speaker 1: That was in July, my birthday was in June. We
Speaker 1: had the miscarriage June first, So well, everything it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I oh my gosh, As I'm speaking to you guys,
Speaker 1: like I didn't write anything down, I'm kind of like
Speaker 1: going down the line of the month, and every month
Speaker 1: had something major happening. I feel like something happened in March,
Speaker 1: and I can't remember what happened in March. Oh we
Speaker 1: went to Big Sir in March. Okay, so yeah, so
Speaker 1: in March, I mean it was reminding me right now, guys.
Speaker 1: So in March we went to Big sur and we
Speaker 1: were sober, and that was one of our first vacations
Speaker 1: that we did sober. But it was super awesome because
Speaker 1: then we did mushrooms together and it was very nice.
Speaker 1: We had an amazing conversation. We were in the chacuzzi.
Speaker 1: Him and I were talking. It was so nice. I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you guys to go out there and do mushrooms.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. That is my business. I'm
Speaker 1: a responsible adult. It's my choice. But you guys might
Speaker 1: share everything with you guys. So anyways, that was what
Speaker 1: happened in March. I know in April I got pregnant
Speaker 1: April twenty fifth. Didn't find out until like obviously a
Speaker 1: few weeks later. Then I even went to go see
Speaker 1: my mom. Oh my gosh, I went to go see
Speaker 1: my mom. I feel like I was able to get
Speaker 1: closure there. I got so much peace out of that.
Speaker 1: I went to go visit my dad. It's crazy because
Speaker 1: I feel, oh my god, it's ins insane. Everything just
Speaker 1: lined up in every single way, everything that I've been
Speaker 1: caring for the past. I don't know how many years
Speaker 1: I was able to close chapters start new ones. And
Speaker 1: as difficult as it was, even going to Lakademiat for
Speaker 1: three months, guys every weekend, I did not think it
Speaker 1: was going to be as hard not being there on
Speaker 1: the show, because being on the show and getting dressed
Speaker 1: up and doing the actual show was actually really fun.
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was not having my weekends and
Speaker 1: having to fly and that's a lot of flights. I mean,
Speaker 1: thank goodness, we have the ability to fly on airplanes,
Speaker 1: and you know, that's that's amazing. But also it's not natural,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if there's studies on it, but
Speaker 1: I definitely felt it. It takes an emotional toll on
Speaker 1: you on physically as well, and I was definitely filling
Speaker 1: that up and down. I was literally going up and down,
Speaker 1: you know. I would come to sea level in California,
Speaker 1: and then I would go to Sia, Mexico and it was.
Speaker 1: The elevation was insane, So I felt like for three
Speaker 1: months I was floating and that's not good for me.
Speaker 1: I need to be grounded. I also took a retreat
Speaker 1: in April with a friend. Emilia was supposed to go
Speaker 1: with me, but he had to work, so I took
Speaker 1: my best friend Judy, who you guys also met as
Speaker 1: well Judy Sabeta here on the podcast, and that in
Speaker 1: itself was crazy, Guys. I wasn't able to vacation as
Speaker 1: much going into the year a million, and I knew
Speaker 1: this year there's a lot of work. We have to
Speaker 1: just set the tone and we're not going to be
Speaker 1: able to vacation as much. So we don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of vacations. We did have our pre honeymoon in
Speaker 1: bl Garmen, which was beautiful, so amazing, very like, very
Speaker 1: much needed. But I want to say that that trip
Speaker 1: with Judy, and not even because we spent time together,
Speaker 1: because we didn't. They had us separated almost the entire
Speaker 1: time intentionally, but what I felt and the healing that
Speaker 1: I felt at that retreat and while I was in
Speaker 1: my experience because it was a psychedelic retreat. Wow, I
Speaker 1: literally I don't know if we ever talked about it
Speaker 1: in detail here on the podcast, but let me just
Speaker 1: you know, make a long story short. I healed you, guys.
Speaker 1: I felt my body healing. I was in heaven, and
Speaker 1: not like heaven that you hear at church and you know,
Speaker 1: the roads or gold. I mean, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: that's the heaven that you have in your head, but
Speaker 1: the heaven that I saw, I was in so much peace.
Speaker 1: I felt what bliss really meant. It doesn't happen every
Speaker 1: time during my meditation, but there are times when I
Speaker 1: can like tap into that moment of doing breath work
Speaker 1: out there and meditating because it was a very spiritual retreat.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I just get this feeling that I
Speaker 1: can't even explain. And I remember saying it, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm healing, I'm healing. I was crying. I had so
Speaker 1: much like it's gonna sound gross, but I had so
Speaker 1: much snot coming out of my nose, and I felt
Speaker 1: like that was a symbol of me just cleansing. And
Speaker 1: I had such a wonderful experience. People there, there was
Speaker 1: like about fifteen of us. Some people I could see
Speaker 1: they were not having a good time. I was in heaven,
Speaker 1: and I kept saying it out loud, like oh my goodness, God,
Speaker 1: thank you. I felt like the Lord was letting me
Speaker 1: feel what peace really feels and giving me this gift
Speaker 1: of you have suffered so much in your life that
Speaker 1: I'm letting you feel this. And I did not want
Speaker 1: to leave, but I kept thinking about a media. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, he seems so far away, like I
Speaker 1: want to go back for him, but then I want
Speaker 1: to stay here. And I was battling with that the
Speaker 1: entire time. That's the moment, guys, And the reason why
Speaker 1: this is such a highlight in my life is because
Speaker 1: that is the moment when I let go of all
Speaker 1: fear in my relationship and I saw his soul. I
Speaker 1: know that's gonna sound crazy, but I saw his soul.
Speaker 1: I saw it and I'm like, oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: so beautiful. I'm safe, it's okay, I'm in good hands.
Speaker 1: And that's when I was like, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: with my person. And that's when I saw that we
Speaker 1: had met and we had been together in other lifetimes.
Speaker 1: I know this might sound crazy to some of you, guys,
Speaker 1: but I just it's it's insane. I know even it
Speaker 1: coming out of my mouth, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: but it felt so real and it was very real
Speaker 1: that I remember I wasn't supposed to use my phone.
Speaker 1: They're like, don't use phones, but I remember going to
Speaker 1: my room and I text them. I'm like, oh my god, Emilio,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. You knew. You knew from
Speaker 1: the very beginning that I was it, and I have
Speaker 1: been so afraid because of my trauma and everything that
Speaker 1: I've gone through that I always as much as I
Speaker 1: let my walls down, they were only halfway down until
Speaker 1: that moment and I let them completely down. And I've
Speaker 1: different in our relationship, and it was like the sign
Speaker 1: for me that it is okay for me to get married.
Speaker 1: I was with the right person. I was with my soulmate.
Speaker 1: I felt our souls connect. It was crazy, guys, craziness.
Speaker 1: We had beautiful moments. Wh went to Big Sir, we
Speaker 1: went to play the garment. We've done Vegas trips, We've
Speaker 1: done cute things. But for me, even though he wasn't
Speaker 1: with me there physically, Emilio, he was there and it
Speaker 1: was exactly what I needed. And because I was on
Speaker 1: such a high. That's what they were worried about at
Speaker 1: the retreat. The people, the guides, the counselors, They're like,
Speaker 1: you had such a high that the low might be
Speaker 1: very low, so we want to just take care of you.
Speaker 1: And they did, and I didn't feel as bad. But
Speaker 1: the other work started coming months after, and it prepared me,
Speaker 1: I think, for the miscarriage, for some disappointments in my
Speaker 1: family things that have been happening. There's been a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, we've been going through these lawsuits, mine, my
Speaker 1: personal one with my mom's brother and our family went
Speaker 1: with my grandpa, and it's been so crazy, but I
Speaker 1: feel like it all just helped me just step outside
Speaker 1: of myself and look at my life from the outside in.
Speaker 1: And it was amazing. And I don't know if I
Speaker 1: would have been able to handle everything or even get
Speaker 1: married if I hadn't had that experience. So I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna share the retreat that I went on. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's everyone's choice. It was my choice.
Speaker 1: It is something that I wanted to do, and I
Speaker 1: don't know if i'd do it again because it was
Speaker 1: a lot, But if I do it next time, i'd
Speaker 1: do it with Emilio for sure, but it definitely did
Speaker 1: heal me. And I saw my dad. I didn't really
Speaker 1: see my mom. A lot of people ask me that
Speaker 1: did you see your mom and that you know, on
Speaker 1: that retreat, I just saw butterflies and I felt like, Oh,
Speaker 1: she's happy. That's the symbol that I was. She's happy,
Speaker 1: We're good. And I was able to because I had
Speaker 1: already closed the chapter with her, you know when we
Speaker 1: went to you know, so I felt good. It was
Speaker 1: more with my dad and I understood him on a
Speaker 1: different level. And I won't get into that because it's
Speaker 1: a little it's a little different. What else my career,
Speaker 1: I feel more than ever, guys, and I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: It has been an uphill battle in some way. I
Speaker 1: feel like I've always had to kind of swim against
Speaker 1: the current when it comes to my career, and I
Speaker 1: feel like this year, people finally are seeing me for me,
Speaker 1: for Cheeky's, for my own talents, for my own experiences,
Speaker 1: for my music, and giving me the respect that I
Speaker 1: feel that in some way I've earned that I deserve.
Speaker 1: Now I look back and I know that I got
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism. I was judged a lot for
Speaker 1: like my music and how I sang and just so
Speaker 1: many things, and now it just feels different. I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to explain it. So I feel that
Speaker 1: that's another thing that I've been able to really enjoy,
Speaker 1: is my career. But then on the other side of
Speaker 1: the token, I'm ready to take a little break, And
Speaker 1: I haven't said that anywhere else that I'm just going
Speaker 1: to say it here on my podcast because this is
Speaker 1: where I feel safe and I feel the need, the
Speaker 1: dire need of taking a break. I feel content, but
Speaker 1: not comfortable. I feel like I need to step back
Speaker 1: a little bit because I have worked the last ten
Speaker 1: years so hard to get to this point. And it's
Speaker 1: not that I never want to do music again. I do.
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: I need to step away from for a little bit
Speaker 1: to be able to step back into it with more
Speaker 1: passion and more clarity. Because so much has happened this year,
Speaker 1: some things are foggy, and the enjoyment and the passion
Speaker 1: isn't as electrifying as it once was, and for me
Speaker 1: personally as an artist, that is a problem. So I
Speaker 1: want to just take time for myself and enjoy my
Speaker 1: marriage and figure out what we're going to do when
Speaker 1: it comes to having a baby and really starting our
Speaker 1: own little family that I feel like that needs a
Speaker 1: lot of my attention, a lot of my energy, and
Speaker 1: I just want to be for a little bit, and
Speaker 1: I'll come back to music. That's always going to be
Speaker 1: a part of my life. It's something that I absolutely love.
Speaker 1: It might change a little bit, but I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm stepping into this new era, this soft girl era,
Speaker 1: and I think it started with Gisiya Passando, the song
Speaker 1: that I wrote for Emilio. And just to clarify, just
Speaker 1: to clarify, maybe now that I'm married, you guys might think,
Speaker 1: maybe some of you, that it has to do with Emilio,
Speaker 1: and I want to clarify that just before rumors are
Speaker 1: started or anything. I want you guys to hear it
Speaker 1: from my mouth, not necessarily. It does not have to
Speaker 1: do with Emilio. Emilio I know will support me in
Speaker 1: my career if I want to keep going in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, I think it'd be like, look, I know
Speaker 1: how you felt this year, maybe you should take a break,
Speaker 1: but if you want to continue do it. I know
Speaker 1: He'll have my back one hundred percent. But it has
Speaker 1: to do with him, but it doesn't have to do
Speaker 1: with him. I want to spend more time. I want
Speaker 1: to enjoy my marriage with him, absolutely, but this is
Speaker 1: more of a personal choice for sure, and I feel
Speaker 1: like I've earned it. I feel like I deserve to
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a break. I also want
Speaker 1: to miss Cheeky's a little but I want to really
Speaker 1: go into my jine mode. I feel like I've been
Speaker 1: tending to Cheeky's for so long. I love the bitch, Okay,
Speaker 1: she's cool, I like her, but I haven't been tending
Speaker 1: to Janae and her needs. And really like stepping into
Speaker 1: that hippie side of myself. And I want to just
Speaker 1: reconnect with my body and I want to cook more,
Speaker 1: and I want to do more quote unquote normal things.
Speaker 1: And I'm craving that. My soul is craving that. And
Speaker 1: as much as Emilio thinks that Chee is super hot
Speaker 1: and sexy, I think he really enjoys Jena too, and
Speaker 1: he hasn't been getting enough of that. So I do
Speaker 1: want to give him that because he's important to me,
Speaker 1: So it has to do with him, but it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's more definitely, and I promise you it's more of
Speaker 1: a personal choice, and I don't know. I went to
Speaker 1: church the other day, to my church that I hadn't
Speaker 1: gone to in four years, guys because of the pandemic
Speaker 1: they had to close down, and it just it ignited
Speaker 1: something in me, something that I feel like I had
Speaker 1: suppressed for the sake of working and being focused and
Speaker 1: being on and it was just confirmation for me that
Speaker 1: what I'm feeling for next year is what I should do.
Speaker 1: I don't know for how long, but I know I'm
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of clarity and a lot
Speaker 1: of answers, so I'm looking forward to that. I just
Speaker 1: don't know what it looks like. And I don't like
Speaker 1: feeling that way because usually I know exactly what I
Speaker 1: want and how I want it. And right now, when
Speaker 1: it comes to my music, it feels like a little
Speaker 1: bit of a cluster and I want to just shake
Speaker 1: it off, miss it a little bit. And I wanted
Speaker 1: to miss me and Richard, my manager, doesn't know this yet,
Speaker 1: he'll know it soon. But it's okay because I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm always gonna be okay, like no matter what
Speaker 1: I don't know what the next move is. I have
Speaker 1: a little bit of an idea, and I'll get to
Speaker 1: you guys. I'll share that with you guys, of course,
Speaker 1: when the time is right. But I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: kind of what I'm feeling, because i look back and
Speaker 1: I'm very happy and I'm very happy with twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four and how everything happened in my career and everything.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. I just feel like finally,
Speaker 1: like oh okay. And some people would think, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it's barely happening, like you're barely getting to that point,
Speaker 1: like why are you walking away? First of all, I'm
Speaker 1: not walking away. I'm just stepping back a little bit.
Speaker 1: But also I think it's important that we know when
Speaker 1: to step away, and that's what I'm doing right now.
Speaker 1: I want to take a little step back. Sometimes our
Speaker 1: ego gets in the way, and because we want to
Speaker 1: be financially secure or you know, we don't want to
Speaker 1: be forgotten, especially as artists. You know, artists have a
Speaker 1: lot like a big ego, and that's why I always
Speaker 1: we talk about ego here a lot. We have to
Speaker 1: ego check ourselves, and especially me as an artist, because
Speaker 1: you do get a lot of pressure and you're like
Speaker 1: the next single and the next single, and every two
Speaker 1: weeks is a single, and I'm just like, that's too much.
Speaker 1: It's too much pressure, and that's kind of what I've
Speaker 1: lived for the past ten years. And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: need a break and i want to go back to basics,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's all it is. And I'm okay
Speaker 1: with that. I'm not afraid. I'm still gonna do my thing.
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna have my podcast. Don't do not fret.
Speaker 1: We will have a fourth season. Guys, do not worry,
Speaker 1: because I love doing this and you guys, I always say,
Speaker 1: it's like a therapy for me. You guys help me
Speaker 1: out as I'm helping you out. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen for twenty twenty five, but I'm definitely
Speaker 1: welcoming it and I'm excited and I'm honestly I'm excited
Speaker 1: for this year to be over. It's been a beautiful
Speaker 1: and also heart wrenching at moments year, but I'm excited
Speaker 1: to start something new. It's always a new year, is
Speaker 1: always like a fresh start, and that's what excites me
Speaker 1: because for so long, I was so afraid of change,
Speaker 1: and now I welcome change, and now I'm okay with
Speaker 1: it because I know how to navigate through it and
Speaker 1: how to work through it. So yeah, right now, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, I don't know what it looks like. Usually
Speaker 1: I have a plan. I'm like, Okay, next year, I
Speaker 1: start my you know, my tour in May. I have
Speaker 1: this album coming out. Right now, I have no plan.
Speaker 1: For once in a very long time, I have no plan.
Speaker 1: I only have one plan, and I'll share that with
Speaker 1: you guys when the time is right. But other than that,
Speaker 1: as far as my career, I don't know, and I'm
Speaker 1: for the first time okay with it, stepping into the unknown,
Speaker 1: very hopeful. I'm going to take another leap of faith
Speaker 1: in my life and I'm going to let life and
Speaker 1: God guide me. And if that means also I have
Speaker 1: to downsize in my home, I'm okay with doing that.
Speaker 1: I want to be smarter with my money. There's so
Speaker 1: many changes that I want to make, positive changes. But
Speaker 1: with those changes, of course, comes a little discomfort. That's
Speaker 1: just the way life is. But I'm ready for it,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm looking forward to. Kind of just
Speaker 1: stepping into the unknown. And there's something exciting about that
Speaker 1: because I'm a very organized person and I like to
Speaker 1: have a plan, and I want to live on the
Speaker 1: edge a little, a little, not too much, but definitely
Speaker 1: catering to my needs, to my home, to my relationship,
Speaker 1: to my siblings, to my nieces and nephews. Guys, it's
Speaker 1: been so long. I want to go pick up my
Speaker 1: nieces and nephews and say, hey, sister, don't worry. I'ming
Speaker 1: to pick up the kids from school. I'm going to
Speaker 1: take them to Disney and Mideo and I are going
Speaker 1: to go like I want, I need that. My soul
Speaker 1: is craving it so badly. And that's that's what I'm
Speaker 1: going to be doing. And of course you guys will
Speaker 1: be updated because we have the podcast and I have
Speaker 1: social media. But I don't know, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: That's a bridge I'm going to cross when I get there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that is it. That is what this episode
Speaker 1: is all about. I did not have a plan for it.
Speaker 1: There's just times that I just come on the mic
Speaker 1: and I talk to you guys from my heart, and
Speaker 1: that is one of these episodes. And no matter what
Speaker 1: I am very, very grateful twenty twenty four. I thank
Speaker 1: you beautiful year, sometimes very painful year, but we got
Speaker 1: up and we got up stronger, and now twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: I welcome you with arms wide open and we will see.
Speaker 1: So I'm wishing you all an amazing twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Make sure to have fun, enjoy, celebrate with some champagne
Speaker 1: or tequila or however you want to celebrate, but make
Speaker 1: sure that you set your intentions for the year. My intention,
Speaker 1: my only intention this year, is letting my soul guide me.
Speaker 1: And if I had one word for twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: I would say foundation. I think maybe that word will
Speaker 1: change later. I'll keep you guys updated, but for now
Speaker 1: it's I feel like I'm gonna rebuild again. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to be setting the foundation for the next for
Speaker 1: years of my life. And yeah, my New Year's resolution,
Speaker 1: if I have one New Year's resolution, it's going to
Speaker 1: be to call people more. That is the only one
Speaker 1: that I have right now, because a lot of people complain.
Speaker 1: My siblings included that I don't answer my phone, that
Speaker 1: I never want to call, that I am the voice
Speaker 1: note queen. That is very true. I want to change
Speaker 1: that this year twenty twenty five, FaceTime more and if
Speaker 1: I have more resolutions, I'll share them in January or
Speaker 1: February and the next season of Cheeky's and Chill. But
Speaker 1: for now that that is the only one I can
Speaker 1: think of. So yeah, and I love resolutions. They keep
Speaker 1: you accountable. But anyways, I don't want to make this
Speaker 1: longer than it has to be. Guys, you know I
Speaker 1: love you. I'm grateful for you. I am wishing you
Speaker 1: and your family a beautiful, prosperous, peaceful, abundant, healthy New Year.
Speaker 1: Do you need advice on love, relationships, health emails. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited to share with you that my Cheeky's and
