Speaker 1: She's been doing this ship for I'm just following in

155
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: her light, in her free step, in her in her legacy.

156
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: So that was us at King Taco. So we we

157
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: were we were out and eating late. I went home

158
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: and then this morning I had to be up to

159
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: teach us self defense class of four hour self defense

160
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: class at nine am, nine to twelve. So I'm struggling.

161
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, so my outfit, UM, my outfit. I'm wearing

162
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: this one of my favorite lounge pieces. It's this body

163
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: suit UM that has kind of like a racer back

164
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: and it's pink and black, sort of like stripe and

165
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: then I have like my pink fuzzy slides and I'm

166
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: wearing the hat from Boco Boco that Rebecca gave me

167
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: and it says and it's pink, So I'm pink from

168
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: from head to toe. Literally, different shades, different picture as always.

169
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: Yum So, I would like to today my look. I'm

170
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: going to borrow my friend Claudia's phrase, but like I

171
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: am just like stay at home dog mom looks love,

172
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: bitter and single and to stay at home dog mom

173
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: that is a look but still cute obviously. Yeah. Um

174
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: so I'm definitely low energy today as well, not for

175
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: the same reasons. Um actually left scamm and Jam before

176
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: the all y'all did, And it was so ridiculous because

177
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: I was walking out and my boo and I left

178
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: early because we were both tired, and um we were

179
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: standing outside like to cross the street, and there were

180
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: these two men in a in a big truck, um

181
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: like you know, waiting for the light to turn green.

182
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: And I could feel the two men kind of just

183
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: like looking at me. But I was like whatever, like

184
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna cross, they're gonna leave, Like I don't need

185
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: to make it a deal. Whatever, but anyway, so we're

186
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: both like going in the same direction. I we're walking,

187
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: they're driving obviously, So the light turns green at the

188
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: same time, and the walk to to walk turns green.

189
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: So we start to go and all I hear is

190
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: that booty, Oh my god, and you were with your booth.

191
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: I was with the person that I'm saying, And I

192
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: was like, you know, generally, you think that when you're

193
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: with someone that is visibly your partner, that you'll be fine,

194
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: no one will bother you. But that is not the

195
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: case with these men. They're so bold, they're in the

196
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: worst ways. But see how in the car like that

197
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened if they were outside. I don't think,

198
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: right it could have been. It could have been a

199
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: different situation, right. I once had I once had an

200
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: experience where my ex boyfriend we were in New York

201
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: and walking down the street and some guy did say

202
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: something directed towards but it was kind of almost like

203
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: he was like challenging my ex partner to something, but

204
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: it had to do with me, And you know, like

205
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: they're both from New York, New York guys, so to

206
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: be honest, like I don't speak New York ease, and

207
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: like I couldn't really catch what exactly he said, Like

208
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: there was an exchange that took place that was just

209
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: beyond my ability to comprehend. You were so l a.

210
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm so l a, but I knew that it was something.

211
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: It was something, and he was being disrespectful and it

212
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: was because of me, you know. But sometimes they are

213
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: like that, they're confrontational. It's really this weird, like I'm

214
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: going to challenge you to a duel in front of

215
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: this woman. It's like a mating ritual. So weird. The

216
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: same thing happened um a while ago where we were

217
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: walking in Long Beach and some man looks at me

218
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: and then looks at my boo and goes, you better

219
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: keep that locked up at home, you see, Like what

220
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: is that? There was no need to say that, and no,

221
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: you will not keep me locked up at home, right.

222
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: It's just bizarre. Why it's bizarre, and it's so interesting

223
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: how men like lead with that behavior Like that man

224
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: was a complete stranger and the first and only interaction

225
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: you ever have with him is that. That's weird. These

226
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: men don't quit it. The other day, I was walking

227
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: papas around my block and this gross man in his

228
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: car like followed me. But he did this thing where

229
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: he would drive by me really slowly and try and

230
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: talk to me, and when I ignored him, he would

231
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: like turn a corner and then loop back around, and

232
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: he did that five or six times. He's cut. He

233
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: followed me all the way home, and he kept coming

234
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: up next to next to me to try and say

235
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: things to me. He was like a Latino guy, like

236
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: in middle aged. And so finally I was just like,

237
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: go home to your fucking wife. I know she's waiting

238
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: for you, and she's probably piste off at your dumbass.

239
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: What are you doing here? Your children and your wife

240
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: get out? So anyways, yeah, another reason why we're tired.

241
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: I trained, Yeah, and they're bullshit again always. But I

242
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: wanted to feel cute even though I'm so tired. So

243
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm actually just wearing just a long dress. It's um,

244
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: just a long click cream colored dress. I actually picked

245
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: it up in bed when it's cotton, so it feels amazing.

246
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: And it's a completely backless which is one of my

247
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: favorite cuts. Um, and it is a high slit on

248
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: the leg, so I look cute and I'm wearing red lipstick.

249
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: But I'm exhausted, but no one would know. No one

250
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: would know. Sometimes you have to give yourself that extra love,

251
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: you know what, If you can and you're feeling down,

252
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: you have to just like adorn yourself more to make

253
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: it out the door. Yes, yes, and I was. It's

254
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: so funny because I was running late to actually get here,

255
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: but of course I got here before mama, and it

256
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: was hilarious. Always I'm my MoMA. I'm running late, okay,

257
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: and I got here. Friends anyway, Um, before we get

258
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: onto our little song break, any updates that you want

259
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: to share with us personal projects? Um, I don't think so. Yeah,

260
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: I haven't talked about I haven't talked about my everyday

261
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: feminism fellowship. Yes you did on the last one. Okay,

262
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: you talked about your article. Yeah, you're working on a

263
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: new one. I'm working on a new one. I'm working

264
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: on several, so one of the ones that I'm working

265
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: on right now, I actually sorry, No, I I do

266
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: have a new updates new projects. So, um, I am

267
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: writing an article based off of an interview that I

268
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: did with a queer Chicana filmmaker. Her name is Adelina

269
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: Anthony and she's from San Antonio, Texas. And she's a playwright,

270
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: she's made film, she's an actress. And recently she and

271
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: her partner Marisa, they have uh their co owners of

272
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: this production company, Adria Productions. They produce their own films,

273
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: their wife wife team and their bomb. I love it

274
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: their bomb. They're both UM queer Chicana artists, filmmakers, and

275
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: so they recently created a film called Amigas with Benefits

276
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: and it was in the PBS Online Film Festival. And

277
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: so I'm interviewed um Adelina and I'm writing an article

278
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: based on that interview and about the film. So look

279
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: out for that. I love that. When I was in college,

280
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: actually that's to meet Adadna Anthony Um. She came to

281
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: a she did her performance of UM and she did

282
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: a performance at the university and then I got to

283
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: go to dinner with her afterwards with some like Chicano

284
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: Chicana studies faculty, you know. So she's so it's so

285
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: funny because you meet her, or so interesting. I shouldn't

286
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: say funny, but it's so interesting because the way someone

287
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: performs and then the way they are when they're just

288
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: like hanging out with you. And she just was like

289
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: so calm, such like an observer. You know, when we

290
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: were having dinner, she was definitely like I remember her

291
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: being more quiet and like listening and looking around and

292
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: definitely more observant. And I feel like that has allowed

293
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: to do with being an artist. And then you see

294
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: her perform and it's like boom, just you know, she

295
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: saves it. Yeah, for the stage. Yeah, exactly, she definitely

296
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: saves her energy. Um, so that's exciting that you're working

297
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: on that. I'm really excited to see the final product.

298
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: I'll share the interview. Yeah, I'll share it with you all.

299
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: And you know, basically, she treats her films and her

300
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: filmmaking as medicine and they have like a spiritual elder

301
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: on set. So I'm writing it about that, you know,

302
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: like film is like medicine. I love that it's a framework. Yeah,

303
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: so I'll share that with you all, Um when it

304
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: comes out. And I think, did you have any updates

305
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: that you wanted to share? Yeah, you know, I actually

306
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: recently performed at a storytelling event, so I want to

307
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: shout out the organizer, Ernesto. He goes by and document

308
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: on Instagram and the name of the event is called

309
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: Cocoon underscore LB because it's actually based in Long Beach,

310
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: but I think they're looking to take it to different cities. Um.

311
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: So I participated as a storyteller and the theme was

312
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: the I in Instagram, So it was examining five photos

313
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: from your the beginning of your Instagram to present day.

314
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: So really had me reflecting on the past three years

315
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: because one of my first few posts is actually when

316
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: I was still living in Biddu and I was traveling.

317
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: So I looked at that picture and thinking about like

318
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: what I had just gone through while I was in

319
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Fidu and then coming back to finish up my senior

320
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: year at Santa Barbara and then moving back to l

321
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: A and then starting the podcast and all these different things,

322
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: so really talking about my trajectory. So it was really great.

323
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Um and what's really cool about there or his he

324
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: had he had a partner that he was doing it with,

325
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: but she actually left to do her PhD in Boston,

326
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: so he's the only one facilitating at the moment. And UM, there,

327
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 1: I guess you could say, their little like philosophy is

328
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: um he'll transform, liberate, so that's the point of the storytelling.

329
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: So it was super great so we will post a

330
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: flyer in the future for their event. Um, they try

331
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: to have one once a month, so highly recommend, especially

332
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: if you're like trying to get into performing and just

333
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: need a safe space to kind of tell your story.

334
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: It was nice for me, was liberating and had me

335
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: examining things I hadn't hadn't wanted to think about in

336
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: a while. So it was good. It was good. I

337
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: definitely felt the liberating aspect. I love that. Yeah, that's

338
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: great that you should were able to share. Yeah, and man,

339
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: it really had me also reflect on the podcast because

340
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: I can come here and talk and be good and

341
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: we're exchanging energy and I can engage with all of

342
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: y'all via social media and then when we meet in person,

343
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: but actually like speaking public speaking is so it's so different.

344
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: So definitely reflecting on like ship this is hard, right

345
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: and prop to people that can that just perform and

346
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: that's their craft, you know. Um, yeah, it is a skill,

347
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: It is a skill. Skill, It is a talent absolutely, um.

348
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe well I'll be doing more of that

349
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: in the future, but for now, it was a nice

350
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: little taste of it. Yeah, thank you, thank you. So

351
00:19:41,400 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: we're going to go into a quick break and U

352
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: of it and little ship. All right, So today we're

353
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a really we're gonna have really chill content,

354
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: um because again, we're tired. We're tired the world, like

Speaker 1: not only our personal lifes to like the world is

356
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: trying us. And definitely what we advocate for during Brongo

00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: hour is like joy you know, like there are other

358

362
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: So we're actually going to just do like a little

363
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: like get to know us and talk about like a

364
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,919

365
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: um mona can you share a little known fact, a

366
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: little known fact about me? Yes, so a little known

367
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: fact about me, something that like, um, I love to

368
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: share when I meet new people, you know, if I

369
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: want to get to know you, Like, I'm a very

370
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm a very goofy sort of person, and when I

371
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: was younger, I really channeled that. Um. I did a

372
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: lot of musical theater in high school, but one of

373
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: my favorite facts about myself is that I actually went

374
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: to the Junior Olympics once for speed walking, for racewalking.

375
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: Did not that I'm dying. I competed in the Junior

376
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: Olympics in racewalking and I came in sixth place in

377
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: the nation. All you heard it first. I will not demonstrate.

378
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: I will not show anybody. If you see me on

379
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: the street, don't ask me to demonstrate my racewalking form

380
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: because I will not do it. It's in my past,

381
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: it's behind me. It's a deep, dark secret. Clearly, that's

382
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: so funny. So yeah, I was just like a little weirdo.

383
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: I ran track and cross country for many years. I

384
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: did too. I did cross country in high school. Loved it,

385
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: very fun. But there was a period of time where

386
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: like racewalking was like my event, and it's a two

387
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: mile that's intense, it's a six events, but you're walking,

388
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: you're racewalking, and there's a specific form of specific technique.

389
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: There's judges like every hundred meters watching your technique in

390
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: your form because if your if your foot placement isn't correct,

391
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: you can get you know, disqualified. Yeah, it's a whole thing.

392
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: It's a whole world racewalking culture is wild. I'm no

393
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: longer part of that community, but I once I was.

394
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm dying. That's great. How about you little back? Oh

395
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: my god, Okay, if you've known me forever, then you

396
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: do know this. But um, I don't think our localmotives

397
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: would know this. So I was actually a vegetarian for

398
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: six years? Six Yes, when did When did it begin?

399
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: When did it end? It began probably when I was

400
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: a sophomore maybe a freshman in high school and I

401
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: stuck through it. I was like very adamant that I

402
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: was gonna be a vegetarian for the rest of my life.

403
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, the reason that I actually stopped being

404
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: a vegetarians because I moved to Peru. So I of course,

405
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: in Latino families, Latino X families, you've experienced this. If

406
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: you're a vegetarian, like you go to parties and you like,

407
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: what do you have? Like aros holes? Maybe like an egg,

408
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: like your your options are very limited if your family

409
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: isn't supportive. If they are, like, yes, they will accommodate you.

410
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: But some of our families don't get it. And that's

411
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: like a whole other conversation that maybe you'll have in

412
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: the future. But I already felt like okay, Like I

413
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: go home and I can't eat any of my mom's

414
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: cooking and for Mexican food. And then I go to

415
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: my family parties and I can't have any Peruvian food.

416
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna be actually in Biddu so I'm gonna

417
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: eat everything. Yes, And I did eat everything. And I

418
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: told myself that I was going to transition back into

419
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: being a vegetarian when I moved back to the States,

420
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: and I did not. And I am I'm sorry if

421
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: you're vegan and vegetarian listening, but I really love to

422
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: eat cheeseburgers and I love to eat that possana and

423
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: we I think one day I will transition back into

424
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: strictly plant based lifestyle, but for now, I'm definitely enjoying. Yeah,

425
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: the meats. Meat is great. Love meat a lot um.

426
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: Yesterday I had this mole from this this um. They're

427
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: a restaurant called They're a company catering company. Yeah, and

428
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: I love Jocelyn shout out, shout out. So last night

429
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: we had like a work event, um, a volunteer appreciation event,

430
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: and they were there and they catered and they made

431
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: all the food and she made this delicious bom bom

432
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: bom bomb bam um um vegan mole and so instead

433
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: of using they used mushrooms and it was so good

434
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like god. Okay. Fun fact, I actually met Jocelyn,

435
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: the creator of Stop It Yes, and she was well,

436
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: she's been a vegetarian. I'm not sure if she's vegan,

437
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: but she's lived a plant based lifestyle for many years um.

438
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: And she talks about I think attributes that to her

439
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: father getting sick um and then using really using food

440
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: is medicine. Um. But I actually met her in Bedeu

441
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: because she was her and a few other Mohas were

442
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: at a Latino Latino America and El Gharibe feminist conference

443
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: and it just so happened to be in Lima while

444
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: I was in Lima. So one of our friends, Silky Sylvia,

445
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: she actually connected us and was like, hey, Ariana's there

446
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: or is there? Um, these are some Mouhadas from l

447
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: A that are going to be in Lima at the

448
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: same time at this conference. So we all met and

449
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where it's like so

450
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: cosmic because you're like, how the fact did this happen?

451
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's how I met jocelyss small world, right, right,

452
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: But I think that I would be more inclined to

453
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: eat vegetarian and eat plant based if all those options

454
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: are available, right or if like, but when you're raised

455
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: where all of your meals are centered around a meat,

456
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: you have to completely change the way you approach food

457
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: and grocery shopping and cooking and what you supply. Absolutely

458
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: right now, I'm down to like, I do my best.

459
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm not always good at it, but I try to

460
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: have just like, all of my meals be pump based

461
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: except for one because realistically I know that I'm going

462
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: to have like chicken or something at right, So I'm

463
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: trying that and it's it's definitely I mean, I feel better.

464
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll see when I transition back completely

465
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: if that happens, I think it will in the future. Yeah,

466
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I think if I was dating someone that was also like, yes,

467
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: let's do it, it would definitely be easier. But what

468
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: do you do when you're dating You go out to dinner,

469
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: you go out to brunch, you do things. A lot

470
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: of a lot of things revolve around food and drinks. Right,

471
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: So if I was me, yes, and me hilarious. All right,

472
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: let's go, let's transition toward next question. So, um, you

473
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: know in Spanish in English, we have a lot of

474
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: fun phrases. What are what's a favorite phrase of yours? Yeah? Um,

475
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: this was actually inspired by your hat that you're wearing. Yes,

476
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: but is definitely one of my favorites. That's a good one. Yes,

477
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: that's my And there's really not such like a poetic

478
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: equivalent in English, there's not. No. I definitely went through

479
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: a my horosona phase a few months ago. Um, after

480
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: I was like on and off with someone, after multiple

481
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: on and off relationships. You know, it's just like fuck,

482
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: like why am I doing all of this? I'm not

483
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: putting all of me through this, right, So definitely, like,

484
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: if it's not working, it's not working, right, So you

485
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: gotta let it go. So and something something good will

486
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: come to you. And not only relationship wise, but job wise,

487
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: project wise, friendship wise, So many things open up when

488
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: you're not focused on one person, right, Um, one person

489
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: that's not right for you and you're forcing it, forcing

490
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: and forcing it, and fuck it's not supposed to work

491
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: out right, So hell yeah, that's an important important phrase.

492
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: But you know what there is some type of an

493
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: equivalent in English. I could do I could do battle.

494
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: That's a good one, right, which we're gonna credit to

495
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: black women absolutely, well, maybe just white ladies don't have

496
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: a phrase. You're right, we have a phrase. I can't

497
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, we wouldn't know, We wouldn't know, so I wouldn't.

498
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: But for me, I love because it's like, first of all,

499
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: there's an emphasis on the company, right or that really

500
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: lationship being bad or toxic. It's not like, oh, I'm

501
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: fucked up or it's my fault or I'm a problem.

502
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: It's no the acknowledging that it's the relationship, right. And

503
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: I can be good by myself absolutely, And it's also

504
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: like I think when relationships, when they're unhealthier, they go

505
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: they go wrong. It's very easy to put the blame

506
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: on just one, but a lot of the times it's

507
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: the both of you, so you know, and not that

508
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: you're like you shouldn't weigh it out necessarily, but like,

509
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: definitely both people need to be held accountable. So I

510
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: think exactly what you're saying, like the relationships and I

511
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: can be good by myself and I am, And isn't

512
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: that what we want. We just want to be good,

513
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 1: stress free, Like, your relationship should not cause you like

514
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: premature wrinkles. Yes, your relationship should not cause you stress.

515
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: One time I knew that I was like in a

516
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: stressful relationship because into a fight with my partner at

517
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: the time. Let's say it was like on a uh

518
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Friday night or something, got into a fight with him.

519
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: But then in the morning the next morning, I had

520
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: an appointment at the doctor, so got into this fight, screaming, yelling, horrible.

521
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: The next morning I go for my checkup, they take

522
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: my blood pressure, and I've never had ever in my

523
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: life high blood pressure, never, never, But the morning after

524
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: this fight with this partner, I did. And I even

525
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: told the nurse. I was like because she was surprised.

526
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: The nurse was like that, You're usually very regular and

527
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: normal and healthy for you, and so this is a spike,

528
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: this is different for you. And I was like, literally,

529
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: it's because of this man who stressed me out and

530
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: is now literally affecting my physical health. Oh my god,

531
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So sometimes on a lot

532
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: of different levels, there's a reason that when when people

533
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 1: and relationships like the glow up happens, right, either they

534
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: get into a new hobby there at the gym. They're

535
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: doing yoga, they're doing something that's like new, maybe something

536
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: they've always been wanting to try. They dance or something. Yeah, um,

537
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: there's a new hobby. Like your friendships get stronger, there's

538
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: a reason that that's happens. And I always like, like

539
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: for me, I always feel like in doing work like

540
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: domestic violence work and rape crisis work, one of the

541
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: primary functions of my job is really helping people to

00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,920

545
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: love it. I love helping people to break up with

546
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: their partners. Absolutely. Mama is not friend that if you

547
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: tell her something in your relationship, she'll be like, Okay,

Speaker 1: well you can dump him, but you can dump them.

549

Speaker 1: It's not gonna work. I really advocate for it really does.

550
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,160

Speaker 1: tear drops on it and it says chion love it.

564
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: And I love that phrase because it's like, yes, just

565
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: like today, we're chingona, but we're sad sometimes and low energy.

566
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: We are sad girls today, and you have to be both.

567
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: It's a balance, it really is. Crying is good for you, Yes,

568
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: letting yourself be sad. Letting yourself be sad, and you

569
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: know what, more and more off in. I allow myself

570
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: to be sad even in public, Like I cry in

571
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: public all the time. That was me. A few weeks ago,

572
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: I had a really cathartic session with my therapist and

573
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: I was all in I literally cried for a day straight.

574
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: And I was just crying everywhere, like driving, like bawling

575
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: my eyes out, listening to Santsa, which is actually really sad,

576
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: very very sad. Can't even though it's very upbeat. Um. Yeah,

577
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: And I was just crying forever, so definitely, And I

578
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: credit the gym yesterday crying in public. Just I was

579
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: texting like a few friends about something that I was

580
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: going that's going on right now, and just having them

581
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: support me was like fuck, and started crying. It can

582
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: be even even positive reaction absolutely make you cry, because

583
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: crying is not always bad. It's not always a bad

584
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: thing that triggers it. Really good things can trigger crying, right, totally,

585
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: totally hmm. Okay, even when we're sad, we're going to

586
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: beaching us exactly, even when we're sad, And that's part

587
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: of being a China is embracing your sadness and writing

588
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: with it, yes, writing that way, yes, yes. So I

589
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: have another question for you, um, because I already know

590
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: the answer and I want our listen. So, when did

591
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: you realize that you were a Bruja? So? Um, I

592
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: first realized I was a Bruja. I think that me

593
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: and my friends. Even when we were very young, um

594
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: in elementary school, we had this inclination towards dabbling in bruheria,

595
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: dabbling in witchcraft. So for example, this is one of

596
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: many examples, but for example, we went all out with

597
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: this and we used to have sleepovers all the time,

598
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: me and my friends. And you know, not a lot

599
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: of people are allowed to sleep over at other people's houses,

600
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: but our little group of friends there was like three

601
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: or four of us. Our moms were alco madres and

602
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: really close, and we were able to hang out with

603
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: each other and have sleepovers. And we like, we're ay

604
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: elaborate with our sleepovers. So what we began to do

605
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: one year was we would actually schedule our sleepovers and

606
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: time them. We would look on the calendar and find

607
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: out when we could expect, like the next full moon

608
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: to be. We would only have our sleepovers like on

609
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: the night of a full moon. So we did a

610
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: couple of them where night of a full moon at

611
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: my house, we like slept outside under the light of

612
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: the full moon. We bought a weiji board. We sat

613
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: inside a circle of salt and we put garlic everywhere.

614
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: I have this rain stick that my dad has had

615
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: for years, and we passed it around like person to person.

616
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: We did we had a seance basically, and that was

617
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: like our sleepovers usually involved some sort of attempt at

618
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: like mysticism, and we were in elementary school. I love it.

619
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: You were having seances at the age of like twelve

620
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, and it was really fun. It was really fun.

621
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: I think that we um, we got to explore sort

622
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: of that curiosity and just the fact that we were

623
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: just so drawn to it. We wanted to do that stuff.

624
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: I used to when I was a little girl. My

625
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: family members were always um, you know, giving me things

626
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: to help me make, like oils and like potions and stuff.

627
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: I was always grinding up leaves. I was always creating potions.

628
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: I was collecting little glass like containers and vials and

629
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: stuff so I can keep my stuff in it. One

630
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: year for Christmas, all I wanted was a hit, like

631
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: I requested am from my meno from my uncle that beautiful,

632
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: and he gave me a giant stone one like a

633
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: beautiful one, and I was We had a eucalyptus tree

634
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: in our backyard, so I was always grinding up eucalyptus

635
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: leaves and doing things with eucalyptus. So I was in

636
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: like my brew has ship as a child, and they,

637
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: like my friend Kathy was the same, and she was

638
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: she was really into like being in her yard and

639
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: plants and potions and all this stuff. So we were

640
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the little blue Haas and that's how our always talked

641
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: about us, and they would kind of make fun of us.

642
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's when I first knew I love that,

643
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: how about you? So for me, I don't have anything

644
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: like specifically like that, but I remember always feeling like

645
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: I could feel everyone's energy and wanting things to protect

646
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: me from it. And I would tell my dad because

647
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: he always had like a charm or something around his

648
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: neck for protection, and I would tell him like I

649
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: want one, and he would be like, no, you're too young,

650
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: you don't need one. But I really really wanted one.

651
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: And I remember telling him like Mick, I'm mad, and

652
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: I like there was just something about people, like I

653
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: just knew um that there was something I didn't like,

654
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: there was some energy, and my dad would tell me

655
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: like it is it? Like it is something like that,

656
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: like you're too young to feel like someone isn't good

657
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: or that this person isn't like whatever you know, which

658
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: isn't true exactly. So I just I remember always being

659
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: very aware of other people's energies. Maybe not necessarily I mean,

660
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: of course towards me, but just in general, like in

661
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: the room, towards other people. Being very observant. I was

662
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: a very shy kid, um so, being very observant of

663
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: everything that was going around going on around me. So

664
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: I feel definitely in terms of energy work and now

665
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: protecting myself when I'm out and about or even just

666
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: in close company with other people, um that I may

667
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: not know, definitely taking care of myself and my energy

668
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: and my physical body, my space. That's why my space

669
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: is my sanctuary. And I tell anyone that comes in,

670
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: like we're not talking about problems in here, like this

671
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: is my sanctuary. We can talk about it outside if

672
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: you're not bringing that in here. Um So, yeah, always

673
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: being aware of what was going on around me um

674
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: as a little girl, amazing, right, But intuitiveness, but intuition,

675
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: but like the fact, basically being a child and path

676
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: basically it's exhausting. I think that's why I'm so tired

677
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: now as an adult. I'm just like being caring loads

678
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: like feeling everything and nobody of being let me help you,

679
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: let me take away, let me hold someone exactly exactly,

680
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: and it helps helps, it does, it really does. Um.

681
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: I think also like being a child, being the youngest

682
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it. Being the only

683
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: girl in the family had a lot to do with it.

684
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: Being like my mom's friend but her child. We definitely

685
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: had to like go more girls type of relationship, which

686
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: is a very weird thing to have as a kid,

687
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, So definitely taking on that emotional labor for parents,

688
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: family members, and they're adult emotions that are so heavy,

689
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: like rot with all kinds of yes yetuff yes. I

690
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: was a very depressed little kid and nobody, Yeah, nobody

691
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: would do anything. Nobody could do anything about it. I

692
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: think nobody wanted to see like see it or maybe

693
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: like think like, oh, Grotto, she's going through a phase.

694
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a lot. So I really value

695
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: like energy work now as an adult seeing my therapist.

696
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: Those are very those are things that I hold very

697
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: sacred to me and my healing since I'm like undoing

698
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, you know, Yeah, that's fabulous. I mean,

699
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: just the realization and sometimes like our own emotions are

700
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: like the hardest things for us to understand. Yeah, and

701
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: you know it's so interesting, like vibes that you give

702
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 1: off without I think even trying to um, but there's

703
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 1: other people that are like you that feel them. I

704
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: actually received this message yesterday from a friend of mine

705
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: who were social media friends and we've met a few

706
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: times in person um, and she messaged me just saying

707
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: she thought of me and she wanted to send me

708
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: some love. And I was going through it yesterday. I

709
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: was like, really sad for a bunch of reasons. And

710
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: then she tells me, hey, like I wanted to connect

711
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: you with my healer because she does like physical therapy

712
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: but for like forgetting trauma or releasing traumas from the body.

713
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: And I was like what she like read me? You know.

714
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: So it was really interesting the way like you, I guess,

715
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: engage your Yeah. Yeah, it's very sting, yea know. And

716
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: that's how you know that somebody is like truly a

717
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: healer if they can sort of pick up on what

718
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: it is that you're in death ste or what you need. Yeah,

719
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: mind you ahead and talked to this ahead in months

720
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: and you know we're social media friends, so how how

721
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: can you really know what someone's going through? You know

722
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: what she did, which I think is amazing. That's great. Yeah,

723
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: that's fabulous. Social media wins again. It does yet again

724
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: shadow haters telling us to get off Instagram. Shut the

725
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: funk up up you get off Instagram. I know, right. Um.

726
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: Even today I posted a picture like send me send

727
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: me love today friends, and I got so many very

728
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: sweet messages. Yeah. So people be people, people know, people know,

729
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: people know. So our final question for today in our

730
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: getting to know you segment, um Yosa why Yosa? Like?

731
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: What does that name that title mean to you? Yeah?

732
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think we we talked about Didosa Goddess

733
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot in the last but I still like, hold

734
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: a lot of it still holds true to me. Um,

735
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: someone that is flawed. Um. So for me, I think

736
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: being h is like recognizing my divine feminine, recognizing the

737
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: divine feminine others. Um, coming from a place of healing,

738
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: coming from a place of love and gentleness, but also

739
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: recognizing that I'm flawed. I've made a lot of mistakes.

740
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people and I've also been

741
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: hurt by a lot of people. And um, and people

742
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: have also made mistakes, So recognizing everyone is on their

743
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: own process, in their own journey of growth of healing,

744
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: no one is on the same page. Um and I

745
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: think that's definitely why we harm each other, especially in relationships.

746
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: Um So, for me, it's just I think also really

747
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: recognizing that I am a essential and sexual being. My

748
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: sexuality is very important to me, um and allowing that

749
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: in a place of healing as well. So really just

750
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: coming from a holistic perspective, I think is what is

751
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: why Dyosa is very important to me. Yeah. I love that,

752
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: and I think that Yosa suits you. Thank you. I

753
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: think it's fitting well, thank you, thank you, embody the name,

754
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. So great. When we're

755
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: on in public and people call us Mala, it's hilarious.

756
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: I love it. It's very sweet. Um. I also love

757
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: my name though. You know, my name is Ariana and

758
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: I was named after Maya Willa on my on my

759
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: dad's side. Um So, I love my name. I think

760
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: both names are very fitting. Um people call me Dyosa

761
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: and people call me Ariana, and both I love so,

762
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: you know, But for the sake of the podcast, we're

763
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: going to continue with Yosa. Absolutely absolutely, yeah, um So

764
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: I want to to close up. I want to ask you, um,

765
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: why mala, Well, I think that for me, I have

766
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: always loved the idea of embracing the shunned woman, the

767
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: woman who like for me, I remember one of the

768
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: first books that just really really drew me in was

769
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: actually The Scarlet Letter and Hester Prynne, right, who was um,

770
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: a young woman, a very young woman who had this

771
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: just like in colonial times, right, I think they were

772
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: Quakers or something. They were. I think they were like,

773
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: what is it when you came from Puritans? There were

774
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: Purits there, regal they were Puritans. There were Puritans. So

775
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't usually reference like, oh, like you know this

776
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: puritan is like I identify with this Puritan. Right, but

777
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: but right, being a young person, a young girl reading

778
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: reading anything about women in literature and the women in

779
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: sex and women in pregnancy and women in stigma, we

780
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: should have an episode on that. Oh yeah, on on

781
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: on on the mamas right of the world. I have

782
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: always been drawn to those women, those figures, the ones

783
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: who have our shipped on and talk it on, right,

784
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: usually because of something having to do with their expression,

785
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: their sex, their sexuality. Right. So like Hester Prynne in

786
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: the scarlet letter. She's a young Puritan woman who has

787
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: an affair with the priest, and she becomes pregnant right

788
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: by this priest, and she is forced basically her consequence

789
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: because essentially what she did was considered criminal, her public shaming,

790
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: what she had to wear a scarlet, a red letter

791
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: a on all of her clothes, that's stood for like adulteress,

792
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: right to stigmatize her and cast her out from the community.

793
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: The Hester Prince of the world, the Monica Lewinsky's, the

794
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: Yoko Ono's who get involved with powerful men sexually romantically,

795
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: and then the women are shipped on and ostracized and

796
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: they're bad, bad, bad and bad women, you know, the

797
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: Anita Hills. Those are my people. I love those women.

798
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: I love those women and for me always, you know,

799
00:45:55,640 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: growing up in a Catholic family and a Catholic household, UM,

800
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: really not vibing with that, not liking it, stepping away

801
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: from all of that, kind of just behaving the way

802
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: that I want to behave um and a lot of

803
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: times to the horror of my family. Not because I

804
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: want to spite anybody or rebel against anyone. It's more like, no,

805
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: this is how I feel comfortable living my life, you know,

806
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: and I'm a mom and I'mala for those reasons. And

807
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: I also for me, I take Mala and look as

808
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: sort of in turn, So when we talk about look

809
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: as like for survivors, like reclaiming the term right and

810
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: reclaiming this idea that we're not hysterical, we're not crazy,

811
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: we're exposing ship that we don't like, right, I think

812
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: that the Mala is also like the loud bitch to

813
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: absolutely right, who is speaking her mind and maybe even

814
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: calling out people and making others look bad because you're

815
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: talking about, well, this is the violence that you've done,

816
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: and this is how you're bad. Right, So that's what

817
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: I mean totally Yeah, and I think you can be

818
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of both also, oh absolutely, and the

819
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: yang we embody that I think I completely agree with

820
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: you definitely. I think why we're we have good energy,

821
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: we're good, we have a good vibe, good chemistry. Agree, yes, yes, So, um,

822
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap We're wrapping up now. We want to
