1
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, everyone, and welcome to a brand new episode

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: of Cheeky's and Chill. This podcast is a space for

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: me to speak about anything and everything that's on my mind.

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: I have guests as well, so if you are a

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: new listener, welcome, thank you so much. Today is going

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: to be an episode just you and I and we're

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: going to be speaking on a topic that's been on

8
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: my mind and in my heart for a while, and

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: it is the ego and how it affects our life,

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: you guys, and how it's affected my life. And the

11
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: reason why I want to talk about this is because

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: having too much ego really affects your self esteem, affects

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: your relationships.

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: And what I want to do w on.

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Chegiz and Show more than anything, is help you become

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: the best version of yourself. So let's talk about everything

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: that has to do with ego. Because ego is not

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,639
Speaker 1: You're an ego now with that being said, you guys,

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: ego is the way I see it. Ego is in

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: the flesh, Ego is in the mind, okay, and it

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: has ruined my life many times in many ways different situations.

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I have had ego, Other people have had ego, and

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: I think it's important to talk about that because, especially

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: now in the world that we're living in, I feel

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: that it's more prominent.

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: It's everywhere. I don't know what it is.

27
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's social media. I have no clue,

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: but ego is definitely here. Maybe it's always been here.

29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: I just see it more because now I really know

30
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: what it is and I want.

31
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Us to check ourselves.

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: We all have ego and it's something that we have

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: to control. So anyways ways that ego has affected my life,

34
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I think ego affects my life more in relationships with partners.

35
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about this because I've noticed even

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: now in my relationship in my marriage with Emilio, sometimes

37
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: I snap and I don't snap like that on anyone else,

38
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and it's not okay, And I think sometimes it's my

39
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: ego coming to like protect me. It's a fake armor

40
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: that comes to protect me because I'm like, no, you're

41
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: not going to take advantage of me. And I don't

42
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: want you to think now that we're married, you're going

43
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: to act a certain way or you can like it

44
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: just starts like boom. It's the walls that come up,

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: and it's my ego, and I have to sometimes I

46
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: check myself and it's just pride, you know. And I've

47
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: learned and it's a pattern in my life. And I

48
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: see how I've allowed ego to ruin my relationships in

49
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: the past, or how my other partners ex partners have

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: allowed ego to come into our life and ruin the

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: relationship because we're too proud to apologize. We're too proud

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: to be vulnerable. And that's one thing that I'm super

53
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: intentional about about just checking myself, whether it be in business,

54
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: in relationships and friendships, but especially in my relationship, I

55
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: have to ask myself, Okay, am I speaking from a

56
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: place of ego my flesh that just automatically wants to

57
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: just protect itself, Or am I speaking from the spirit?

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: Am I speaking from my soul?

59
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: And I check myself because I don't want to continue

60
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: having filled relationships. I want to be the best version

61
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: of myself for my partner because I'm happy because he

62
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: deserves it. And another way that ego has affected my

63
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: life was with my relationship with my mom. I think

64
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: it was my mom's pride that didn't want to let

65
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: me in. And again she's not here, so this is

66
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: just these are my thoughts. She's not here to defend herself.

67
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: But I truly feel that if my mom would have

68
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: put her pride to the side and would have listened

69
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: to me or taken the time to hear me out,

70
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: I probably would have had the chance to speak to

71
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: her and to explain to her certain things before she passed.

72
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: And there's a fine line, okay, between being prideful or

73
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: taking a stand and setting boundaries. Setting boundaries is you

74
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: respecting yourself and respecting that something's not making you happy,

75
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and you're setting a limit and saying, here, you know what,

76
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: you're hurting me, and I need to set this line

77
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: in this boundary in order for you not to hurt

78
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: me anymore. I can't allow it, you know what I mean.

79
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: That's just an example of a boundary. Now, having ego

80
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: is kind of like, oh, I'm not gonna apologize even

81
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: though I know I'm wrong. I'm not gonna apologize because no,

82
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm not. No, but you think about it and you're like, damn,

83
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: I know I was wrong. I should probably should have

84
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: said sorry, but no, no, no, I'm not going to apologize.

85
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not why because they're going to see me as

86
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: weak and that's our ego. And the reason I want

87
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: to talk about this, you guys, is because I see how.

88
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: Much it kills things.

89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: It kills anything and everything in its way, and we

90
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: have to be super careful with it, you guys. So

91
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: that's why I say, ego is not your ego, and

92
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: your life is so much better when you're able to

93
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: be vulnerable with your partner, with your friends, with putting

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: just pride to the side and saying, you know what,

95
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I apologize, I.

96
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 2: Was wrong or I feel this way.

97
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Or sometimes even people won't express their feelings or how

98
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: they're feeling that someone else is hurting them because they're

99
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: too afraid of looking weak. That's the ego. That's the

100
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: mind sometimes our thoughts, you guys. Or overthinking should I say,

101
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: overanalyzing things? And I'm telling you because I've done it

102
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: in the past. I overanalyze, I overthink and it just

103
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: gives me anxiety and it gives me depression, and it's

104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: just like, dude, I gotta fucking stop this. And that's

105
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: just the ego playing tricks on you. We all have

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: a little devil on one shoulder and a little angel.

107
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: I try my best to listen to a little angel. Well,

108
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: sometimes people be pissing me off, and I'm like, you know,

109
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: so I really didn't plan much. I just wanted to.

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: I had this on my heart and I was on

111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: the treadmill and I called my producer and I said, hey,

112
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: I really want to talk about this because it's something

113
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: that if we don't fix sooner rather than later, it

114
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: can kill love, like love between in a relationship, even

115
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: in family.

116
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: I've seen it in my own family.

117
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: This is I can't really say much, but I was

118
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: on a on a zoom call, a very important zoom

119
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: call with someone, and it was just so disheartening to

120
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: see this person. No matter how much I tried to say, hey,

121
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: let's try to figure a way to fix this, he

122
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: just was not no, no, it was just his ego

123
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: was like bigger than this fucking room. Like I'm just like, dude,

124
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: if you could just put that shit to the side

125
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: and speak to me from your heart and listen to me,

126
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: because your ego and your pride is not allowing you

127
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: to hear me and what I'm saying and I'm trying

128
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: to resolve this issue. And he was just like no,

129
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: like this and that, and it's just like, dude, living

130
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: in the past.

131
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: That's part of ego. It's like, dude, let that shit go.

132
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: Like life is too precious, life is too beautiful to

133
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: sit there in your own sorrow and not one will

134
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: apologize or talk about things or fix shit. And it's

135
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: just like I've seen it like ruin families, my family,

136
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: and that's why I was like, I want to talk

137
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: about this. I don't even know I have my cue

138
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: cards here, you guys. There's certain little things that I

139
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: can touch on, but I really just wanted to speak

140
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: from my heart and just tell you guys what I've

141
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: been thinking and things that are important to me in

142
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: this world that I feel like.

143
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: That's that's part of my purpose.

144
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Is just if something comes to me and I'm in

145
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: my moment of prayer meditation and it just like downloads

146
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: in my brain or in my heart, is because I'm like,

147
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to speak on it. And

148
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: that's why we have this podcast. You know, do I

149
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: struggle with ego in my personal life. In my personal life,

150
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: we just talked about it. I do struggle with it

151
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: more in my relationship and I have to check myself

152
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: constantly because that comes from.

153
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: Trauma.

154
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: From stuff that I grew up seeing in my household,

155
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: and I just I feel like I need to be

156
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: a tough, tough woman.

157
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: No one's gonna hurt me. But it's like I've learned the.

158
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Hard way that I can't be that way, that I

159
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: do have to be a little submissive. I do have

160
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: to feed the king in my partner, in my husband

161
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: now and tell him, hey, you hurt my feelings, when

162
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: before I was like, no, I've got no boo next.

163
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: It just I don't want to continue in that pattern.

164
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: So that's where I've struggled the most with ego is

165
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: in my relationships because I'm like, hey, nobody gonna hurt me.

166
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: I was like next, you know, and I'm like, no,

167
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm dude, I'm in my thirties. I can't be like next, Next.

168
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Like I got to settle down and I got to

169
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: figure out what the hell's wrong with me. So yes,

170
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: in my personal life, that's where I feel I struggle

171
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: with ego the most, with my siblings, not really in

172
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: my professional life. I wouldn't say that I have an

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: issue with ego. I just know what I want and

174
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: what I deserve, and I like people being fair and

175
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: I've learned to speak up and say what I want

176
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: and what I expect and what I don't like, and

177
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: if there's a doubt in my mind, I used to

178
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: not say anything, so I don't ruffle feathers and I

179
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: don't make things uncomfortable. Now I'm like, wait, I don't

180
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with this. I'm kind of doubting here. Let

181
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: me ask a question. So I don't really feel like

182
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: ego plays a part in my professional life either. I'm

183
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: telling you it's just relationships. But I'm working on it,

184
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: you guys every single day. And there are times where

185
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm like shit and my ego got in the way,

186
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: and I'll go tell the media bay, but.

187
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.

188
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have talked to

189
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: you that way. My tone of voice wasn't right, because

190
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: it happens to be in my tone of voice sometimes

191
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: I can be a little bitch, you know, so check.

192
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, you guys, and that's what it is.

193
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: That's why I like to talk to you guys, because

194
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect, and I want you guys to learn

195
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: from me and learn from my mistakes and from things

196
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: that I've done in my past, and the only way

197
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: to do that is being vulnerable and speaking about it

198
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: and being willing to open my heart to you guys.

199
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: That's the only way we're going to change the world, guys,

200
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: is if we're willing to speak about our truth. So

201
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: that's my truth. Is there anything that triggers my ego

202
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: when people want to make a full of me? There's

203
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: just something where I'm like, uh ah, Because again, usually

204
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: this comes from trauma, you guys, from childhood, stuff that

205
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: we've seen, the stuff that we haven't healed. And sometimes

206
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: when people want to make a full of me or

207
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: do something and think that I'm not going to find

208
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: out or take my kindness for weakness, that's another episode,

209
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: you guys, that we need to kindness for weakness.

210
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: That's a whole other thing.

211
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: But something happens and my chest starts getting big and

212
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh uh, I'm not dumb because for so

213
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: long in my childhood I felt dumb because I was

214
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: told that I wasn't smart and blah blah blah. So

215
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: it was something that I'm like, I want to be smart.

216
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I want to read books. And we've talked about this

217
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: on the podcast. So when people try to question my

218
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: intelligence or think that I'm not gonna find something out

219
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: that pisses me off, and I'm just like my ego

220
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: and my chest starts going on my.

221
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna show you who the fuck I am, you know,

222
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: and I don't.

223
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys can relate to that,

224
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: but definitely that's one thing where it's like it triggers

225
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: my ego, and I'm like, no, absolutely not another thing

226
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: that triggers my ego.

227
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: Is and I guess it.

228
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: Honestly, guys, it does have to do with just trauma

229
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: and and things that, you know, that inner child. The

230
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: other day, I was at dinner with Emilio and it's

231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: so funny. We were at dinner and I mispronounced a

232
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: word because I tend to do that quite a bit

233
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know sometimes like the words just won't

234
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: flow correctly or whatever. And he corrected me, but kinda laughed,

235
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: and it just kind of bothered me, and I was like, what, Like,

236
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: I think it has to do with anything that if

237
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to come at me and make me

238
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: look dumb or feel dumb, like it just does something

239
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: to me. And I responded and I was very like

240
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: like I was rude. I was just like, why the

241
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: fuck are you laughing? Like we were having a nice

242
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: dinner and it was just he was just like no,

243
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: I was just smirking, like I wasn't like.

244
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: Laughing at you or you know. But it really triggered me,

245
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: and I just I felt it.

246
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: I felt it come from my gut all the way

247
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: up and I was like I was being mean, but

248
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: because I felt I felt dumb. I guess, and it's

249
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: something that I still need to work on. And I'm

250
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I don't care like

251
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm mispronounced words or whatever, but I love to learn,

252
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: so I'm like, okay, teach me, you know what I mean.

253
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: But I guess it's always how we deliver our message.

254
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: And I guess he didn't deliver it in the way

255
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: that I needed it, but it wasn't his fault.

256
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: But then it triggered me.

257
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: So it's stuff. I feel like the ego is stuff.

258
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: It's really an insecurity, you guys. That's when it comes

259
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: down to it. It's an insecurity that we have, a

260
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: deep rooted insecurity that we have that makes the ego

261
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: come out. Now that I'm talking about that the insecurities

262
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: in my relationship. I don't really struggle with Emilio's ego anymore.

263
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: It was just I think the first year of our

264
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: relationship because it was his first time dating someone famous,

265
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

266
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: And he would tell me, He's like, I just I

267
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: don't know. There are things that I wouldn't even allow

268
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: my ex girlfriends to do. Like, for instance, if we

269
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: were in the car and I'd be texting because I

270
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: do a lot of my work while you know, people

271
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: are driving, my assistant or Emilio, and I would just like,

272
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, I take advantage of like I'm not driving,

273
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: so I'm like answering emails, I'm doing this on social media,

274
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. And he would get so upse

275
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: he'd be like, I need you to pay attention to me,

276
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: like I'm not an uber driver, and I was like, well,

277
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm working and you wudn't pay my bills. So we

278
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: would like it was a thing of what are you

279
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: doing on your phone? And he was like, oh, before

280
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I would not allow my ex girlfriends to be on

281
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: their phone when I'm driving.

282
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: You pay attention to me.

283
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's not going to work here

284
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: because I'm busy and all my work is right here, so.

285
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: We would get into it.

286
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: So that's just a little tiny example of how I feel.

287
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: His ego in the first year was like no, like

288
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: he was kind of not mean, but he was just

289
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: a completely different person. And not like he was a

290
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: bad person that I wouldn't be with him if he was,

291
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: But the ego, it was just him like didn't know

292
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: how to deal with a woman like me. It was

293
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: his first time, you know. But now we don't have that.

294
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: Now he's very vulnerable, we both are. But I feel

295
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: like in this relationship, I have more of the ego

296
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: issues where they come up a little bit more often

297
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: in my past relationships.

298
00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: Though, Wow, was ego definitely not our ego.

299
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: That is the reason why we probably did not well,

300
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: not probably, we did not work because of pride and ego,

301
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: And it was because at the end of the day,

302
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: they were insecure, even with the media. Now, he tells me,

303
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: I was insecure. I was insecure about like what if

304
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna leave me, what if you're talking to someone else,

305
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: Like what if I'm not good enough for you?

306
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: All these things. But we talked about it, and.

307
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Then I knew what was bothering him, and I filled

308
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: his cup with security and telling him everything he needed

309
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: to hear. And now that's why it's not an issue.

310
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: But I didn't know how to deal with it back then.

311
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: I just knew that my presence or what it is

312
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: that I did for a living, bothered my exes and

313
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: made them act a certain way, and didn't know how

314
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: to say sorry, and felt like, Okay, well, you think

315
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: you're this or you're that, well I'm gonna top you

316
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do.

317
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: Anything to stroke my ego.

318
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: And that's why I'll cheat, because I want to feel

319
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: like more of a man because I feel intimidated by

320
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: you or inadequate. And now I recognize it, and now

321
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: it's just instead of being upset, I feel more compassion

322
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: of like shit. I wish I would have known so

323
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: that I can help you work through that, not for

324
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: me because I'm happy now, but for you to be

325
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: a better man for the next girl.

326
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: But we all live and learn.

327
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you. I remember telling one of my axes.

328
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, your pride is bigger than anything

329
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: else on your body. If you know what I mean,

330
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: because I don't want but I was just like, dude, like,

331
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: you're ruining our relationship and it's just because of your

332
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: freaking pride, and it's just insecurity at the end of

333
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: the day. But I'm so grateful that I went through

334
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: all of those situations and those relationships because they helped

335
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: me become the woman that I need to be for

336
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: the relationship that I'm in now, and that I was

337
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: able to learn from that and speak to Emilio and

338
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: also just know that at the end of the day,

339
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: we all have it. We all have insecurities. I don't

340
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: give a shit who you are and what you do.

341
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: We all have insecurities. Is just recognizing those insecurities, addressing them,

342
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: and being willing to heal it and to speak to

343
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: whoever it may be. It could be your mother, it

344
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: could be your friend, it could be your partner, it

345
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: could be your sister, anything that's making you feel insecure.

346
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: Once you let it out and bring it to light,

347
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: you start healing it and then the ego is no

348
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: longer an issue.

349
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 2: So all that to just say, ego.

350
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: Is insecurities, you guys, So that is my insecurity, I

351
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: guess I don't want to feel dumb.

352
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: I don't want to look dumb. I want to be smart.

353
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I want which is why I'm so passionate about learning

354
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: and reading, because I want to better myself, because I

355
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: never want to be called stupid ever again. I don't

356
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: even like that word because I heard it when I

357
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: was young and it just stuck here and it really

358
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: really poisoned me. And that's what ego will do you, guys.

359
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: It'll poison your body, it'll poison your thoughts, it'll poison

360
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: your heart, and it will not allow you to.

361
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: Be everything you can be. It will your potential.

362
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: So Kim, my assistant here, had a question and she's

363
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: asking if having no ego is good or bad? Right, Like,

364
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 1: should you have a little bit of ego? I think

365
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: you should have a little bit of pride, but good

366
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: healthy pride, pride and like you know, there is healthy ego, Like,

367
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: for instance, I.

368
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: Know who I am.

369
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: Sometimes it could be coming off as you're conceited. No,

370
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm just convinced of who I am and what I

371
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: bring to the table. It's not to belittle anyone. It's

372
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: not to make anyone feel less than or that I'm

373
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: better than anyone. I think knowing that we're not better

374
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: than anyone or worse, we're just right there. I think

375
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: that's important to know. But knowing who you are and

376
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: your values and your attributes and everything that even your intelligence.

377
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, like Kim, you can probably think, dude,

378
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: she's conceited. No, she's just confident. She knows who she is.

379
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: So there is it's all bound.

380
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: So what do I tell you guys on the podcast

381
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: every time is everything is balanced, and that's how you'll

382
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: be like, there's you got to balance it out. If

383
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: there's too much ego, Dude, you got to bring that

384
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: shit back because you do have to know who you

385
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: are and what you bring to the table and all

386
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: of your traits. It's important to know, but don't let

387
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: that just become where it's way too much and you
