I was not Although I was not a 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.920 four first member, I was a junior member. 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.440 She more than made up for the Beyonce slander that 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.360 she has brought upon this this here podcast, in this 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.120 country years and years ago. I knew you'd come around. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.240 I turned in my paper card for a metal one, 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:59.760 so you know, life will never be this. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.279 Neither were my knees, but you know it's so it's 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:03.240 a girl. 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.080 When the when I got out, I'm gonna say bed, 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:08.640 but I don't sleep. I sleep on the couch with 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.839 my newborn. That's what I do, safely, all safely. But anyway, 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.679 I got up and it was like sound like an 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.000 old rickety uh porch swing is what I sounded like. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.920 Getting out of bed this weekend. Oh my god. 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.600 So it's not a bat with something. Okay. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.800 So we all know that Beyonce has a renaissance tour, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.840 and so some months back tickets went on sale. But 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.280 it was a very crazy free for all of how 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.880 to how how was it like stressful? 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.400 Yeah, so you don't know, you didn't buy the ti? 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.479 I did? I didn't. 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.880 It was like but it was like a lottery and 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.400 you had to wait in line and a cute just 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.839 for the opportunity to buy the ticket. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.160 It was it was a lot of work, and like 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.480 the what was so stressful about it was that you, like, 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.840 you guys, if you guys tried to buy tickets, if 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.800 you were on her email list and you're in the beehive, 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.560 you got like priority for just getting a chance to 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.640 buy tickets. But then they did like the city or 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.240 different credit card pre sales, and you got like on 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.560 a waitlist. And so I was waitlisted and then if 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.640 I found out I was or no, I was like 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.320 waiting to hear if I'd gotten passed the wait list 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.720 through and I was still waitlisted, and then like my 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.880 little brother was still waitlisted. But my oh my bff 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:21.040 shout out to Baron the King Brown because it was 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.880 a tag team effort. He got the code, he got 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.040 through the line, but he was at work. He works 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.880 at the Talk the TikTok. Anyway, he was at work. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.440 He forgot his city card at home. But I have 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.720 a city card. So we combined forces and Baron came 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.120 through with the code. I came through with my city card, 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.680 and we got four tickets, not really knowing who our 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.400 dates were going to be at that time. And then 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.080 it's like I sat with it. You don't want to 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.600 invite the wrong person to I know, you have to 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:55.000 find a mix of like personality, vibe, you know what I. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.720 Mean, if we're being honest. 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.760 That's what I was going to get to next. Not 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.320 just finances, but are you willing to drop the price 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.920 of a really nice appliance on a concert? And you know, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.280 Tiffany's in her shaw Da era now, she's she's leaning 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.240 into only things that bring her joy and experience. Anyway, 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.200 I asked Tiffany pretty quickly, can. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.240 We see how you want to see how much we 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:16.960 pay for tickets? 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.600 I think I did before they were like fourteen hundred. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.640 The thing about this is I don't go nowhere y'all, 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.400 and I needed some. I'm not trying to I don't 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.800 have to justify my purchases, but I'm just saying like, 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.040 I'm so glad we did it because this was back 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.480 in February and the thought of I was gonna go 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.480 to Beyonce help get me through my really tough third 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.720 trimester because I was like somewhere over this mountaintop with 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:44.600 like crags and steamholes and volcanic ash pouring. That's what 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.680 the third trimester felt like. Beyonce is across the horizon. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.760 I just have to get over this mountain. The mountain 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.200 was pretty damn cute. So I got two. I won twice. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.040 I didn't realize I was gonna win twice. Got the 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.280 baby and I got the Beyonce. But anyway, so that's 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.960 how I I mean, the price tie guess was high. Yes, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.920 but the they you know how they say, studies show 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.680 that it's not the vacation that is so like it 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.000 doesn't impact your mental health. It's like the idea of 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.320 the vacation, like the lead up to it brings more joy. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.480 And I feel like that has just been like, yeah, 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:16.799 just my ray of suns. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.440 I just felt like, I mean to Mandy's point, y'all know, 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.960 I mean, if you listen to podcasts, you know, me 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.279 and Mandy are not spending spending spending girls, like not 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.800 at all, you know. And so we're not not to 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.440 say we can't be there's nothing wrong with it, but 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.839 just giving you some context. If you listen to us, 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.360 we are dead at verse. We're not spending spending, spending girls. 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.200 You know. Although we both make like gadgets, yeah. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.840 We make great money, but I'm like shoes, yes, but 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.680 we live well under our means. And we've always been 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.320 like real responsible money girls, if I'm being honest, And 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.560 I mean, that's why we have Brown Ambitions, this show 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.279 that talks about money, business and career, because we live 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.680 it like how we you know, like when we talk 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:52.719 about it, we actually live it. 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.600 And so when Mandy told me, like. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.560 There are Beyonce tickets, there's one available for you if 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:03.000 you choose to accept this challenge. It will not be inexpensive, 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.400 and I was like, I didn't even know how much 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.240 it was. I was like, let's do it, because I 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.440 knew it wasn't gonna be thirty thousand dollars, you know. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:09.920 And I was like, and I figured it was gonna 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.480 be over a thousand, but I was like, you know what, 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.080 Tiffany girl, like, you know, I'm not a big old 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.440 spending but I for me. I mean, although I've been 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.000 going on vacations, you know, half my vacations is because 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.480 I have a speaking engagement or I use my points. 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.480 But like I said, even if that was not the case, 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.000 because underlieve, my financial advisor still told me that I 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.600 still underspend and that I should spend more money on myself. Anyway, 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.800 So when Mandy said was fourteen hundred, I was like, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:41.640 gos say, I'm down town. Okay, So you know, I said, 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:46.880 bearing my money, tickets were purchased, and then I promptly, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.520 you know, like business took over. I had not I 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.880 had not even planned my outfit. I kind of had 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.200 an idea, but I did not try it on until 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.320 like the dayble four, and I was like it. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.560 Ain't the fit had to be on point because TikTok 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.120 all the girls. It just became like this. It's kind 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.000 of like what happened with Barbie. It's like it became 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.440 this moment, like you know, we don't get prom.

I was like, what is happening? Is this 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:40.120 real life? How are we here? Oh my gosh. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.439 It was amazing. I mean, Ma and Mandy danced our 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:47.520 lives away, say, took video pictures. And then also Mandy 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.320 was like, oh to the look to the left, that's 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:50.159 just Katie Holmes. 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:54.280 I was like, say, what so random?

I said, no, she was a girl. 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.720 I don't care about nothing, but nothing. All I care 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.560 about right now was she was such a fan. Her 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.479 face was like she literally looked at me, was like, 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:23.400 isn't this incredible? 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.080 And we were both like you probably tried to tell 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.360 me and I didn't. I couldn't hear a damn thing. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.640 It was just amazing. 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.520 I mean Karradellavi and I saw, yes, karadell uh and 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.080 then some other people like you don't know.

Like that is how incredible it was. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.040 I will say that that no one bothered the quote 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.200 unquote celebrities in there, and so they were more because 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.240 everyone was like that's cool. But do you see Beyonce's 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:49.679 on stage? 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.520 Yeah exactly, yep, Like you know, shout out to Katie 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.600 and her daughter. They could have been passing out, you know, 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.240 like orders I would not have No, I'm just like 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.440 beyond is here? Oh man? Yeah, the way that my 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.560 hips and my feet are so mad at me, but 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.240 it's such a good It's a good kind of pain. 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:14.760 We couldn't. We didn't even want to leave the. 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:14.560 Like the last people in club in club. 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:18.399 Where they're twirling around on the trashy floor taking pictures. 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:20.080 I was trying to get the guy to he was 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.320 he was blowing away the confetti and I was like, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.680 just blow something if you don't get out of my way, psycho. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.359 But it was just yeah, it was. 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.720 And I have like a bucket list of like things 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.359 I want to experience at a concert. One of them 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:35.880 was like I want to be backstage, and I did 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:37.560 that at essence Fest, which is pretty awesome. 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.640 And I also said I want to be I want 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:40.440 to be front row. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.000 And so my sister, were you back stage four at 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:43.720 essence Fest? 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:44.920 It wasn't. 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:46.320 It was like essence Fest, you know, they have just 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.720 a series of like, you know, artists. I can't remember 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.199 who at the time was performing, but like when do you 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:52.080 anyone you wanted to be? 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:53.520 Yeah, I just wanted to be back because I never 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:54.520 saw like what is backstage? 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.320 Like it's really cool. Like I was like, oh okay, 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.480 like literally walk all the way to the front. There's 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.679 like a bar back there, there's seeding. It's just a 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:02.720 very cool lounge. 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:03.399 Vibe. 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.560 And so if you're a speaker at essence to be 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.960 all the way clear essence, don't pay. Okay, they don't 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:09.520 want to pay they speakers. Maybe they pay like this, 0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.720 you know the celebrity singers. But one of the ways 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.040 they pay, girl, they will say, here you go, here's 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.199 your one pass to go backstage. And I'm like, I 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.879 can be boughts yes, And so I did that a 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:21.520 couple backstage. 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.480 There'd be like a forty foot glitter horse. There would 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.639 be what was that car she was on, like some 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.320 kind of full automobile. I sound so old. It was 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.399 an automobile. It was a cool car. I don't know. 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:35.640 It was just amazing, and so we I did, you know? 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:37.879 So so I did backstage. And I also said I 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.560 wanted to be front row when I worked with my 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:43.560 sisters last year to the Usher Residency in Vegas, and 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.919 front row tickets weren't so crazy. Hones say they were 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.439 less than Beyonce tickets. I want to say they were 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:49.800 like eight or nine hundred dollars. And so I was 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.159 able to like splurge and get front row tickets then, 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:53.960 and it was amazing. I'm talking about Usher literally held 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.400 my hand that's how front row, and so yes, because 0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:58.320 the residence. 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:00.000 Is because of the theater is not that big. 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.359 So if you aren't want to do front row and 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.160 you like an artist that's performing a residency in Vegas, 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.040 consider that because it was like under a thousand dollars, 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.200 which is not a little bit of money, but not quite. 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.439 I'm sure Beyonce's front row probably was like ten thousand 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:15.840 or something crazy, you know, and you. 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:17.960 Still have like again like the space and the guards 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:19.600 in your way with no oddly. 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.000 Like with Usher, it was literally like here's your seat, 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:23.840 like I could have put my feet up on the 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.760 on the on the stage like he really was holding 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:27.679 our hands singing to us. 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.400 I was like, wait, I have one. Yes, it was amazing, 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:31.720 And so I always said. 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.240 I always wanted to do kind of quote unquote like 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.080 the pit where you stand and you're that's this close 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:38.359 to the stage. But you know, you it's not easy 0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:39.760 because you don't want to do that for like a 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.520 ten hour concert, like you know, Beyonce doesn't have any 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:44.720 beginning middle, it's it's Beyonce. 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:45.520 Yeah. 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.520 So and we were we were made very clear by 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.639 the plug that like get your pl and y'all know, 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:51.720 I got the bladder. 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.200 Of a tiff. Was so stressed about this. I was stressed, 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.440 there will be no leaving to use the bathroom. Yes, vibe. 0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.720 So I stopped drinking water because I don't drink alcohol 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:02.800 two hours ahead like a kid, like a little lady, 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:05.800 and I made sure I peted like seventeen times. 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:07.240 I was like and then and then. But I was 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:08.720 really proud of my bladder. I actually thanked her. 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:09.440 I was like, girl, you. 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:12.920 Did so good. You did so good because I was. 0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.000 Like, there's nothing worse than like enjoying yourself. And then 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:16.480 you're bladder. Was like, girl, but we have to go. 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.399 I'm like, well, we're not going. So she didn't give 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:22.240 me no trouble. I was so proud of myself. Yeah, 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.479 it just it was amazing. But you know what one 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.720 part I really loved Mandy is at the end when 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.680 Beyonce did this thing, because you know, we've been talking 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.960 about being present and like what enough looks like? She said, 0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:34.280 you know, I want you to take a moment and 0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:36.480 like in this moment, you know, like maybe just feel 0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.719 your you know, feel gratefulness, and like She's like, I 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.639 hope you you felt seen tonight. I hope you felt loved, 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.320 looked to the left and right, remember who you came with, 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.920 remember what you wore, and just soak in this moment. 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:48.720 And it was like such a like I was like, 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:50.480 be honest, it definitely goes to therapy job because it 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.440 was such a grounding, centering moment. 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:53.960 And I did that. 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.480 I looked at Mandy and I was like, I looked 0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.479 at Baron and his mom and I thought, what an 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.760 amazing thing. I was like, my outfit was slaying. So 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:03.439 I did that, and I just like I get to 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:06.800 hold those memories with me, like this was an amazing experience, 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.560 and so I got to experience it with really awesome people. 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:13.200 So this is why we can't say it like experience 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:18.119 is overthings always always I'll take it. Yeah, dancing with 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:21.800 you like that, just being free, and I did feel seen, 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.239 And I tell you like I was having I've been 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:25.960 on this journey my whole life, like so many of 0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.520 us are, to like love yourself, love your body. And 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:32.080 something clicked for me this past year and I just 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:34.479 started to embrace my body the way that it is. 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:36.720 I'm not trying to be any other version of myself 0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.119 the size I am, the way I look what I 0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:41.639 look like and close all of that, it just feels good. 0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.520 I just feel really good in my own skin now 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:45.720 and looking up on that stage and I think it's 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:47.560 just happening for me at a moment when we're finally 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.600 accepting other people for how they look. And she had, 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.960 Oh my god, this gorgeous dancer, like full body thick, 0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.639 then thighs were jiggling and wiggling and the CLEI of 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.160 she was just going off. I've been watching. I watched 0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.159 videos of her. I took videos of her just to like, 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:05.880 I'm like, this is amazing. Not only that, but the 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:11.520 trombone player was like pregnant, not insignificantly pregnant, yeah, clearly pregnant. 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.000 I did feel seen and she did this whole epic 0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:18.720 because you know, Renaissance is all really homage to the 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:22.760 gay community, you know, to house music, to the club scene, 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.359 all of that, and she really like you could see 0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.119 that come through because there was this one of my 0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:30.040 favorite parts of the concert. It's hard to say because 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:33.400 Beyonce wasn't on stage, but when her dancers came out 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.560 and they did their what do you call it from, 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:40.120 like the yeah voguing, yes, and do the splits and 0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:41.040 like they were all hyping. 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:47.200 Yes, it was beautiful representation of like creative expression from 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.359 this libertaicoa self love, yes. 0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:53.600 Self love and at a time when it's really not 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.240 safe to be that way and this unfortunately, at least 0:25:56.280 --> 0:26:00.720 in this little bubble of the MetLife Stadium, Beyonce just 0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:03.240 let everyone wave their freak flag. She's like, put on 0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:06.399 the sparkly boots, put on the ass list, chaps, yes, 0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:08.600 you know, bring your mama and tell her to put 0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.240 the crown on her head and let's all come together 0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:14.280 and feel joy and love. And we can go back 0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.520 to the stress and the chaos and the bs later, 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.840 but right now, for this night, let's just love and 0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.639 be so happy. And that's what we were. 0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:24.440 And I have to say, like on the leave out, 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:28.520 first of all, you could tell a lot about an artist, 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:34.480 an artist by their fans. So leaving there was no jostling, 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:36.000 there was no pushing, there was no anger. It was 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.280 like excuse me, oh my back, oh you slay girl. 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.840 It was just so I mean, And it was I 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:44.359 mean literally tens of thousands, well thousands of thousands of 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.080 people leaving at the same time, even the people like 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.520 the like the security guards. You know a lot of 0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:51.320 times you leave a concert and they're basically yelling at 0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:52.679 you to get out. That we did not get that 0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:54.560 at all. It was like where you going, baby, just 0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:57.400 you can go go left, come on this way. I mean, 0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:01.280 it was just kindness across the board. I mean getting 0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.359 on the train. Imagine thousands of thousands of people like 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:06.000 trying to get on trains as they come and go, 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:07.800 and everybody was like no, no, you go, no, you 0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.000 said you It was and I thought to myself, these 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:13.480 are your fans. The level of patience and kindness, and 0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:17.439 it's just it really was like such a testament to 0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.159 the energy that she's that she brought that you know, 0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.680 everybody was just so kind. I mean, people were thanking 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:24.439 the security guards and things, thank you so much for 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:26.800 keeping us safe. Thank you so I mean, and the 0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:28.520 security guards and things were like thank you. You know, 0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:31.560 it just was get home safely, you know. It just 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:35.280 it was an amazing, amazing experience, but not just the 0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:40.680 obviously her she was amazing, but just the holistic experience 0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:42.920 of like, wow, oh girl, we forgot a major part. 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:48.440 Blue Blue Girl. I just remembered it too, a. 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.160 Baby blue The finish with you, we are we ready. 0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:53.920 To talk about no girl. 0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:57.560 I was like, yeah, yeah, the people are nice anyway. 0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:01.320 First of all, I'm like a proud mama because if 0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:04.600 you in following Blue Ivy's journey because she started off 0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:06.199 in Paris, but she did her first I don't know, 0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:09.560 she debuted in Paris, and like, I love that be 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:11.080 I don't know. I just love to see that she 0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:13.919 has improved like her da And it's hard. I was 0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.320 never even going to criticize her dance movies because she's 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.160 all of eleven years old and her mother is Beyonce, 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:22.560 and she's on tour in this massive stadiums, Like I 0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:24.640 would go out there and pee my pants every night 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:26.600 if that was me. But she dance anyway. But she 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.720 has gone so much better, and I'm like, Beyonce's letting 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:35.600 her make her mistakes and improve. And God, she was 0:28:35.680 --> 0:28:36.960 so the ploy. 0:28:36.920 --> 0:28:40.400 Because it's like this, I'm Beyonce first of all, and 0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:43.040 I love that because a lot of parents would be like, 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.320 until you're perfect, you can't show yourself. It's like no, no, no, 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.120 no that because one the assumption is this is what 0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:49.840 I'm assuming she had to come to practice. 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.640 You don't just get to get over stage two. 0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:56.880 It's like, you know, you have to get fitted, meaning 0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:59.560 like she allowed her see to see the process of 0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:01.920 what a look like to have this level of success. 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.640 And then three, in front of all these people, performed 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:08.400 like that's I mean, I I could not do that 0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:09.440 now at forty three. 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:12.640 Let it one eleven. So I just like, if you 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:16.400 can't take, what can you do? Okay? 0:29:17.000 --> 0:29:19.640 And Blue, and it was just the energy between them 0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:21.959 and just seeing you know, I know Beyonce is an 0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.080 artist and entertainer, but I don't think that she's putting 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:25.240 on a show when she looks at Blue. 0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:28.600 That's how it was. It was giving look at my 0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:29.600 baby dancing. 0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:31.920 The rude just pooped and wiped his own butt the 0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:33.720 other day and I had the same look at my face, 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:37.160 you know, like that's how it is. The Blue was 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.240 so epic and their vibe together and her dance moves. 0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:41.400 She commanded the stage. 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.160 Yeah, she commanded, that's struck down now. 0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:45.760 US said, oh, if that is the Beyonce struck her 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.920 struck down the stage, I said, girl, you don't struck taste. 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.800 We had a walk okay. 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:52.480 And I feel like the dancers were like I felt 0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:54.240 their energy, like we're gonna take care of blue Y, 0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.640 you know what I mean. Oh god, it was so good. 0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:02.560 Again, Like we cannot reiterate enough that like this to 0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:06.760 me was money so well spent. Now, I'm not saying 0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:08.960 that you shouldn't pay your mortgage, you shouldn't pay your card. 0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:11.400 No you should no, no, no, you shouldn't be refinancing. 0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:13.920 You know, even though Mandy put it on her card, 0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:16.280 it wasn't that we didn't have the money up front. 0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.959 It was just, you know, that was the way to 0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:21.080 to pay for you know, that was one of the 0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:24.120 ways to take get the tickets in advance. Yes, exactly so, 0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:27.840 but that is not something first of all, one, you know, 0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.320 we could have purchased tickets that were way less expensive, 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.680 you know, if we wasn't something we could afford. This 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:36.600 is something that like, okay, that we have positioned ourselves 0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:39.080 in a way that when something like this comes up, 0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:41.040 it's like I can look at my budget and say 0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.680 I have more than enough space because I live well 0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:44.960 below my means and. 0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:46.240 I have more than enough space. 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:50.680 And I'm really proud of new Tiffany because old Tiffany 0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:54.040 would have said even if I had you know, like hundreds. 0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:55.280 Of thousands of dollars just sitting here checking. 0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.760 I'd be like, no, it's too much, but too much 0:30:57.760 --> 0:31:00.760 for whom, you know what I mean? Like, I remember 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.040 distinctly when I realized I had a problem Mandy. I 0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.000 don't know if you remember, but remember during a pandemic, 0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:09.000 you want to buy yourself a peloton. Yeah, And you 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:11.479 weren't really sure if you should get yourself a peloton. 0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:14.200 And I was like, Mandy, you work really hard, you 0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:17.120 make good money, you make good financial choices, you deserve 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.200 you should get a peloton. And then you were like, 0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:21.280 what about me? I was like, oh, no, no, And 0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:24.080 then it CLICKEDERU. I was like, wait, why is it 0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:27.240 that it's okay for Mandy to get a peloton? And 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:29.360 the same things you told to Mandy are also true 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.360 for you. But I did not think I deserved one. 0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:34.800 And I went to therapy that week and I told her. 0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:37.000 I was like, I was giving Mandy like the speech 0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:39.480 about getting a peloton because she does deserve and it's 0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:41.640 not gonna be a financial burden. But I don't feel 0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.040 that way for myself. What's going on? And so we 0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.960 had to really work through a feeling of deservedness. I 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:50.280 did not feel deserving to spend the money that I'd made, 0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.000 you know, And so I'm so happy for the Tiffany 0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:55.760 I am now where I was almost afraid, well, if 0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:58.680 I start to purchase things that I feel like i'm 0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:02.240 worthy of, my going to overspend. And doctor Green was like, girl, 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:03.680 of all the things to worry about, you are not 0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:07.400 gonna be Nobody's always better, and so she was like, 0:32:07.480 --> 0:32:10.360 that's not your issue. The issue if for you is 0:32:10.480 --> 0:32:13.520 you know, you how you feel about yourself. And so 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:17.040 since then, I have spent money in a way that's 0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:19.880 in closer alignment with how I want to see myself 0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:21.240 and how I want to feel about myself. So I'm 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:23.280 not quite fully there. Yeah, I still sometimes feel guilty 0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.360 about spending, but I'm so glad that I did this 0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:27.920 because it was amazing to have this experience with you, Mandy, 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:31.160 but also too to remind myself that, like, you know, 0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:35.040 if it's not causing financial harm, and you know it's 0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:38.040 something that you really want to do, then do it. 0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:40.280 Because this experience is one that I'll never forget and 0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:44.160 it's so worth the money. You know, this experience for 0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:46.560 me because of where I am financially, but also too 0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:48.920 where I am emotionally as well. 0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:50.960 So yeah, just. 0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:54.400 Think about what is your version of great seats at 0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:57.280 the Beyonce Show, you know. And there's this moment when 0:32:57.320 --> 0:32:59.760 I am my master class, my negotiating master class, where 0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:02.640 I had these slides because for us, it's about like 0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:06.760 when we encourage people to want more from themselves financially 0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.520 and to make space for themselves to you know, make 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.239 more money and reach for higher you know, titles at 0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:15.320 work so you can get paid more and negotiate more 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:17.760 and all these things that especially I encourage women to do. 0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.680 Oftentimes it feels uncomfortable because it's like, well, we're just 0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:24.720 grabbing for money. Capitalism is evil, Like why am I 0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:26.320 just wanting more and more and more and more and more. 0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:28.320 And so I had this series of slides that I 0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:30.800 show and I'm like, don't think about the money and 0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.800 grabbing more that think about what you can do with 0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:36.360 it and what it means for you, what doors it's 0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:38.080 going to open. And so I had these pictures of 0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:41.040 like my brother and I spending We spent so much 0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:44.520 money to go see the Harry Potter play in London 0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.480 when it first premiered, and I'll never forget that weekend 0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:49.360 with my little brother. I didn't even know what life 0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.200 was going to bring, but I'm sure as hell can't 0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:53.440 just spend five days with my baby brother in London 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:56.640 right now, you know, and my you know, paying for 0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.320 my wedding and you know, starting my own business and 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.000 taking my mom to see Celine Dion in Vegas, you know, 0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.920 because that was our queen in the nineties. Anyway, best 0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.400 believe if you come to my webinar in September, there 0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:11.399 will be that picture of me looking hella crazy from 0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:14.839 the Beyonce concert, because that's the why. So like, what 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:16.920 is your why? And I think if we just focus 0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:20.080 on what that looks like for us, what we want 0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:22.080 to bring us joy, and look at money as a 0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:25.239 tool to get us there, then it stops feeling like 0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.040 I'm just doing this to be doing it and it 0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:30.359 feels lucky and you know, so just to find that 0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:32.600 for yourselves and maybe for me and Tiff it was Beyonce, 0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.560 maybe for you, I don't know, you fill in the 0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:38.799 blank and have fun doing it and then that'll make 0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.080 your money goals. I feel like seem so much less 0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:44.640 work and more about yeah, just getting that opportunity. 0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:46.440 I love this for us. 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:51.000 I love it too. I love you tif I'm just 0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.200 god we had a happy experience together too, you know, 0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:54.640 just like there's been a lot of shit, I mean 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.319 obviously in the past couple of years. A BA fan, 0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:01.319 several BA fans responded to say that they just they're like, 0:35:01.360 --> 0:35:04.240 I love this for y'all.
