0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I know um a little bit, but I'm not real

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like caught up with it. So no, because it's vander

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Pump and I love vander Pump, so it's okay. So

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>it's Lisa came off of Lisa, vander Pump came off

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>of which Housewives house and then it became vander Pump. Well,

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>actually I think she had that before she left. It

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>started while she was still on Housewives, I'm pretty sure.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>And then she went off Housewives and I kept going.

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>And she's the one who does like the skinny No, no,

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that's she's the one with all those um bar restaurants

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, we went to Pump went. I

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>think you did know I wanted to. I don't think

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>we did. I want with someone who wanted to go.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was you know, I think I had

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>saying Monica everything, I'm like, I want to go there.

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there's really cute remember going. I can't remember

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>all of them, there are several. Yeah, no, it's super okay.

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And then and then La La is just um girl

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>like on the show as she came on a few seasons.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>End up belief all the stuff that happened with her husband.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean I saw a lot of the like tabloid stuff,

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean I saw all the because he

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>was like in Nashville, right, I think the affair happened

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>in Nashville. Yeah, I want to. I just remember people

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>posting like he's being seen in Nashville and you know

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>all that. You know what, I just don't get which

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>so so speaking to that, I wore a shirt for

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Lalla and it says allergic to your bullshit. So that

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>share is because I feel like us girls understand that. Yeah, um,

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>but I I one of the first things I thought

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of when I saw that is like, dude, you're an idiot.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Like there's people like you know what I'm saying, Like,

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>there's people everywhere. Why would you be around other I

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>just don't think people are that dumb, but clearly they are.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I just think sometimes you just want to get caught.

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that, I think I don't know their

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>story that well, and I'm not assuming that of him,

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>but if you were going to be that in people's faces,

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, deep down somewhere you want to get caught,

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're somebody I mean my ex would say that. Yeah.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I always thought that about him. Yeah, I mean that

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>is a very good point. And even think about that

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>because I'm just like, I mean, people know who he is. Yeah,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. It's crazy because about like a month before

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>all that came out, I auditioned for one of his

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>movies because he's a big producer. Um and one of

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>my friends, well not my friends, I knew him like

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>way back in the day, but he's a he's a

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, a big sir, and um, it was like

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>with him, so I was like, hey, like I just

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>sent him my addition, like do you mind like putting

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>in a good word to Randall Um? But it's hard

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, I think he's such a great I mean,

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>he's a he's a director, he's an amazing producer. So

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just, you know, it's unfortunate that, um, those are

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the headlines when you know, and I feel bad for

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>her because she just had a baby, didn't didn't she

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>like just have a baby with him. Yeah, I wonder

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>how old Riley, how old is her kids? That's one thing.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I first just turned one. I think, Oh it's right,

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>she's had both day party. Yeah. Um, so that's like

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.119
<v Speaker 1>hard because I'm like a baby so young. So yeah,

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm curious, like if she'll like wants to

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>talk about it or not. Yeah. Well, I don't know

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>how to like step that because it's like it's weird

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, as much as I do talk about Max,

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about Max. Does that make sense? Yeah?

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's like I hate when people ask me because

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I don't talk about it and everybody wants

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. But I do feel like it's

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so similar to your story, so it's hard not

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>to because you'll both had young babies. Yeah, I don't know,

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe just just step in and see how it goes. Yeah.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting though, because what I just said, I'm like,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>now I'm like, what a very weird thing I just mentioned.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about it, but I talked

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>about it. You really don't want to talk about it? Well, like, okay,

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>that's to be back. It's when someone like, okay, like

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>my in laws are in town and my in law's jesus,

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>my my mom and mother, my mother isn't tough, and

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you know her husband will be like, oh, so, how's

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. I'm like, I don't want to talk about Mike,

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, I just don't want to

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. Can we just next topic? You know? Yeah?

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense? Yeah, and now that makes sense for sure. Yeah,

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>because I'm just like I talk about I think maybe

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>if it's like something I talked about on here, but yeah,

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's like something you want to get off your

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>chest or want to like kind of talk through. But

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it's when other people are asking and like wanting to

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>know stuff, and maybe that's different. I'm like, I don't know.

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Texting you find out like I don't want I don't know,

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't talk to him. Why don't you? But yeah, know,

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just um. And I was talking to

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>someone who I'm working on something with and she goes,

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting, She's like, what I'm finding that you have?

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to like sugar and dance around this because

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want I can't obviously see what I'm doing.

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>But she's like, it's the stuff that when you don't

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about him. I was like, I know. I was like,

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't want it. It's just the experiences in

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>which I like, I talked about him through my experiences

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>because that was my experience. It felt like I'm talking

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>about him as I say. I'm like, because like Hellsmes

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>will be like, oh, stop talking about I'm like, it's

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>not about you, not about you at all. It's about

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>my experience with X, Y and Z. Right, yeah, and

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>that's I mean, that makes sense. What would you do

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>if Nick cheated on you? In what regard I want

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it or just in general? You know,

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what would you do? Would you relieve? I mean I

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>always said that I would, but I also haven't been

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>in the position, so I don't want to just you know,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I always said that I definitely would, but again I don't.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know for sure. It's hard when kids are involved.

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's so hard. Yeah, And then I think of, like,

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.239
<v Speaker 1>I know, this is like I'm kind of getting gossipy

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and I hate that. But but I think of like

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Sam Hunt and his wife and she's pregnant. Yeah, like

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>that's tough. I mean well, and I like when I

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>saw that, I was like, wow, you are so freaking

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>strong because I was pregnant with Jace. Why I just

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>found out about, you know, being pregnant with Jason when

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I caught him before you know who showed up at

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the hotel. So I was like and then I'm calling

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>my friend Sarah Bryce, who was like, you can do

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>this alone. You can have this baby. I'm like, There's

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>no way in hell I can do this alone. Yeah

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember, yeah, I remember that very vividly. And then

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>like she's like no, I'm like, oh my god. I

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>wish I had the like respect for myself to be like,

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what, don't deserve this. My baby doesn't deserve this.

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm I mean, I get trying to but at

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the same time, like I loved that. You know, I

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>think both things are strong, but I mean is independent

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>as I think that I am. Logistics are hard, Like

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>if you just think about getting divorced, and especially if

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you're pregnant, like I got three kids, like what am

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I going to do? Or am I going to go?

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>How am I going to support? Like women think through

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>those things, and if you're pregnant, you're in that you're

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in the hospital by yourself giving birth. Like

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of I mean, Sarah did it, yeah,

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, like she had her mom, she had her friends,

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 1>like I know so many women that have done it.

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's possible, and I think that you obviously

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>can do it. But I can see where that would

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>be and I would like to think that I would

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>do that if I was in that position. But I

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>can see, on the other hand, how that's that's not

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>an easy to ask either. No, what's going on in

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>your life. I've just you know, filming film in a

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>movie with a c slater super fund that it's freaking

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a c slater. I know. Katherine and I went out

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to dinner when the nights after filming, and I go,

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of cool days later, like I watched it

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>by the bell, especially when you start whispering, like I know,

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's totally like our age generation. And then

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>when the group of moms comes up to take the

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>picture with them and like, yep, y stuff, that's all right,

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that's us, hey, ladies, Like that's you and me, all right, well,

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>let's take a break and then let's get La la on.

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Hi guys, Hey, what's up. I'm Janna. This is Catherine. Hey,

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>how are you good? Thank you for having me. Of course,

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited to have you on the show. I don't, um,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>And I'm excited that your book is getting paperback. It's

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>coming coming. It's like a re re outright, Like I

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like now I've fully given birth to it. The

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>process is done. I know, it's a I had written

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a book with my ex, so I feel like it's

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>um one of those things where it's like once you're

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>done with it, it's like because then they have it

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>for nine months and then it takes part and there's

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>like so much changes in those nine months. I'm like, God,

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I wish I would have been able to put this

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in or like that in right, Wow, writing a book

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>with your ex, well, he wasn't my he wasn't my ex.

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Then I found out about something again that happened. So

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>my ex also cheated a bunch um lovely. Yeah, So

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel very close to you. Unfortunately, Um that matter

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>because it's just it sucks and it was public and

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's just one of those things where

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't wish that upon like your worst enemy totally. Uh,

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you're absolutely right. But I I really applaud you for

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>how you handled it because you just didn't give in

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to like you just you said what was like on

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>your mind. You spoke your truth, and I was just

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>like yes, and I just I loved I loved that

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know, because a lot of people are like, well,

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.719
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to say or you know, you can't say.

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>It's like no, it's like I just got I just

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>saw all this crap and that's not okay. Yeah, you know,

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>there were so many moments where people would tell me,

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like to to kind of fall back and maybe not

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>share certain things, and I, you know, from what I

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>what I know and what I'm sitting on, I chose

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to share such a tiny, teeny piece of what happened.

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>And everyone's saying, you know, you have a daughter to protect. Well,

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>yes I do, and I've been doing that. But I'm

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 1>addressing this publicly because he decided to step out on

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>me publicly and he didn't think about protecting ocean or me.

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So why are you looking at the woman like, no,

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.839
<v Speaker 1>be quiet, don't say anything. That. M No. I mean,

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I completely agree with you. And there's a lot of

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>times too, like because we do talk a lot about

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>infidelity on the show and my ex and I don't

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>know if you got it from your X at all,

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>but like I know my axes, like stopped playing the victim,

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, stop talking about it, and I'm like, I'm

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>not actually even talking about you anymore. I'm talking about

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my experiences and what I went through and the you know,

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the abuse and the manipulation, Like that's what I'm talking

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>about now, and how I got to the other side.

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And yes, yes, I was a victim of it, you know. Yeah,

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that that's such like a narcissistic thing to say, like

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>they put you through hell in every aspect and then

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>make you feel like you should be quiet and you're

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>not a victim and you made mistakes too, And it's like,

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>mm hmmm, let's pump the brakes. You're you're not going

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to twist this on me. And we're allowed to talk

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>about our experiences and people doing us dirty because there's

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>many women out there who are dealing with the same thing.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>And to see someone on your platform or mind go

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 1>through it, it's relatable. It makes women feel less alone,

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and that is my job. It's why I do reality

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>TV because I want people to feel that they are

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>not alone. M hm is there something like I know,

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>women reach out to me and they're like, you know,

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>they asked, like the red flags or how did you

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>know like in your gut? Because and when I think,

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm like when I look or you know, feel back

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>to my gut, im like I knew something was going on,

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't want to really believe it. And then

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>my friends and then my friend then the other part

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of my gut was like no, like everything's great, and

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>my friends are like you guys are you're You're they

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>wanted to shake me, you know, like what of course

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not good. So like, did you ever have those

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>moments where we were just like you kind of knew

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>something was off, but you didn't want to believe it.

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 1>I love that you asked this question because I go

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>back and now with the bird's eye view, Yes, there

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>were red flags everywhere. When I was in it, I

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>knew that I was in a toxic environment, but I

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>felt like I was creating it. I was so triggered

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>by that person all the time that I felt and

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>He made me feel like I needed to go to

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>therapy to work on myself and let go of certain things,

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>or maybe I had childhood trauma and you know that,

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that was my intuition, going this person is dirty, you

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>gotta get away. But in my mind, I was like,

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>he's such a great guy, like I would have put

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Ocean's life on him, never creeping around on me. How

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>sick is that? How sick is that? And even when

0:13:55.440 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>those photos surfaced and I was take it back, there

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of days before the photo surface that

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I had been getting messages about him at a bar,

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 1>not acting the way a partner should act. He made

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>me feel crazy. Keep in mind he wouldn't show me

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>his hotel room, and I thought that was very strange.

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I was triggered, and he said we need to get

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>into a therapy session like immediately. So that of course,

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he makes you feel like you're the crazy one for

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>wanting to like see the Yes, this man had he

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>do a therapy session via zoom. He was somewhere else.

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I was in l A and the whole time he

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>was with the girl that he was in a relationship

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>with since March. Wow, it's just like first I'm really

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>sorry that that it was a part of your experience.

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's also just baffling to me, like when I

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 1>when I hear that, when I back on things that

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>like my X would say, and it's like they just

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>make you feel to this day, like I'm in therapy

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, am I crazy? Like am I the

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 1>one that's like like, well I did yell? You know,

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and like you just you hear their voice so much

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>and like in your head that like make you question

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>your reality and because they've just programmed you to believe that,

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>like they're you're the reason why they were acting out

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>or you're the reason why they did X, Y and Z,

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and you're the reason why you know, they feel the way,

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's like it's your faults and and then you

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>like it's literally been like a year of therapy going

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on retraining your brain. You go, oh wait, it's no,

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it actually wasn't my fault, Like, yes, my reactions were

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a little psycho because he was cheating and I was

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to control and like you know, but I was.

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's maddening to me. It is and I

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>saw I saw this thing online the other day, Um,

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I follow a lot of narcissist account same girlfriends say

0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>we need to follow each other because I post a lot.

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's do that, And it was how a narcisist will

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>say that you made mistakes, and yes, the mistakes that

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>we've made are just mistakes, because we're human beings. Every

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>party is going to make mistakes in a relationship. What

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they did, that's not a mistake. That's called in my situation,

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe you are inherently evil. Yes I've made mistakes.

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm a person, but you're not gonna make me feel

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>like what I did was the cause of you going out.

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And those aren't mistakes. Let's make that very very clear.

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>What they did and what we have done are two

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>very different things. Have you gotten the apology that you

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>deserve when trust is gone and someone can't own up

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>and the and they they continue to keep the mask on.

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>It's very intriguing. It's very intriguing when you see a

0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>person for exactly who they are and they think that

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't know who they are, and you watch them

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 1>do their little game. It is like jaw dropping. So

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't need an apology, want one, because everything that

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that person says is just covered in bullshit you I

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have to deal with it anymore. And that is

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, now now I can go out and I

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>can enjoy the fact that, like my paperback is out

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>with the national best seller sticker on it. I can

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the fact that I have a beauty brand, that

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I have a podcast. I'm not in this heavy situation

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>where I can't enjoy the things I've accomplished in my life.

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that's like that's the greatest thing when you

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 1>can get to that point, because I remember recently getting

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 1>there being like I don't even want one because I

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't even know if I believe it. And where you

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.199
<v Speaker 1>just like to be able to shed that into like

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>just feel so free and so light and not to

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>worry or be like, oh I wonder who they're texting

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>or where they're at today or it's just like such

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a And yeah, like you said, to be able to

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>focus on ocean, to be able to focus on your work,

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and like now you get to spread and help other

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 1>women with you know, unfortunately what you went through, but

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I promise you like it's and then you know this too,

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 1>it's like things are going to bloom so much bigger

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and beautiful and brighter because like you're not holding onto

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:34.679
<v Speaker 1>that darkness anymore. That's exactly what it is. I have

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>been living in a world that I just became comfortable with.

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 1>It was like this is just normal. And now I'm

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 1>out here looking at this amazing world that I've been

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>missing out on for six years. And you know, freedom

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is amazing, and people don't. You know, there's so many

0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>ways that a relationship can keep you down, and it

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>could just be you know, dimming your light. And I

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>finally feel like, Okay, I look in the mirror and

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I recognize this person, Like I'm fully back. That's awesome.

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 1>What would you say to other women that are kind

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.479
<v Speaker 1>of feeling stuck or that have gone through the same situation, like,

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.439
<v Speaker 1>because I know for me and my or my friends,

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>like they've tried to shake me a million times to

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.520
<v Speaker 1>say like open your eyes, see it. But I feel

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's almost like you have to be the person

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to walk away. But is there something that you wish

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe somebody said to you. That's a hard question because

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that person came into my life for

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>one purpose and one purpose only, and that was Ocean

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 1>was meant to be here. If I don't look at

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it that way, I will drive myself insane. Um. So

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>because of that, I can say, you know, I don't

0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 1>regret the past six years because I have this incredible baby.

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>But any woman who's feeling stuck or they feel like

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 1>they want to get out, this is gonna make me

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>emotional because I've been in that situation where I'm like,

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm stuck and I can't do it until I was

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>forced to do it, And you can't hm everything will

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>be okay that I can promise you'll be better than ever.

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.199
<v Speaker 1>It will be a shock, but in those moments, you

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.440
<v Speaker 1>realize your strength and no one can take that away

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>from you. After you find that within you and you

0:20:56.200 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 1>make the jump and you get out, you are unbreakable.

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 1>When you experience moments like that, Yeah, I mean I

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>definitely feel that. I mean, yeah, being feeling that brokenness

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, Catherine Um was with me the

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:17.919
<v Speaker 1>well that night and then the next day when I

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 1>filed for divorce and I'm like, happen, I don't know

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>how to how I'm gonna get up, And it's like

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you find the strength that you don't even know you have,

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's like as broken as you are, Like, it's

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>so much more beautiful on the other side. You couldn't

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>even imagine. I would have never, in my wildest dreams

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 1>imagined that, Like how beautiful it can be on the

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 1>other side, and like how much like I love myself

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 1>more now than I love myself the last seven years

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:46.360
<v Speaker 1>of my marriage. Oh I love that. Yeah, because you've

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.239
<v Speaker 1>taken yourself back. What do you think as a friend? Well,

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.959
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say it's it's interesting because I've

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>not been in y'all's position, so I'm kind of letting y'all,

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>but as the outsider seeing it, excuse me. First of all,

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you'll have to you have to see it on your own.

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 1>That is one thing I've learned as a friend. You

0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>can sit there and say do this, I would do that.

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, there were a lot of questions, what would

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 1>you do if your husband did this? What would you do?

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't matter. You have to see it for

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 1>yourself and whether you're forced into that position, which essentially

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you were too. I mean you'll were both kind of

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>forced into this place. For that it had to go away,

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean you made the decision, but at

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the same time you were forced into that decision, you'all

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 1>would have never have seen that for yourself, you know

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. I just I think you eat, whether

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you're forced or you make the decision or whatever it is,

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to see it for yourself. I yeah, I

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>agree with that, and I think it's hard because even

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.199
<v Speaker 1>you've mentioned other friends going through and you're like, oh

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, I just want to shake them. Is this

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>how you felt when this was going on? And it's like, yes,

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>but again you have to understand that they have to

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>see it for themselves or there you're not going to

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>get anywhere. Well, it's kind of like getting like watching

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>someone in an addiction. You can get someone sober, you

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>can't get someone to leave their their toxic partner. Like

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>people have to come to that on their own. We

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:15.239
<v Speaker 1>had those discussions before she filed. Janna would say like,

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 1>this is my addiction and it really kind of made

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 1>me see that too, and how to kind of handle

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you a little bit in it, like and yes, I

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit of the tough love, but like

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I had an addict mother where I kind of had

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 1>to play tough love as well, and so it is

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:34.120
<v Speaker 1>very much like an addiction, very similar, m, how long

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>have you been sober for I've been sober for three

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>years and a little over five months. We count every

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 1>single day, so I never do. Know, that's amazing. Yeah,

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll hit a year and a half April. That's amazing, girl,

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>that's great. How did you feel? I mean, god, I can,

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and I mean I will say this. I'm a big

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>wine drinker and like when I divorce, I didn't drink

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 1>for two months because I was so numb. I didn't

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>want to drink. But I mean in those moments, like

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 1>did you find yourself like if I could just like

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:14.199
<v Speaker 1>have a drinker, you know, Like, was it hard for

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you to stay sober in that tough time? Not at all.

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I leaned further into my sobriety and really started relying

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>even more heavily on the program that I'm in and

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 1>where I'm at in my sobriety. Like it gives me

0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.199
<v Speaker 1>a pit in my stumming to think about having a

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 1>drink because I know where it leads and you kind

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:41.359
<v Speaker 1>of being out of control and I know that you know,

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you wake up. And I was already during this situation

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>having to manage my emotions and the thought of having

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>a drink would make me make it unmanageable, and I

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that sends me into like full panic. So I didn't

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>even drinking didn't even cross my mind. Well that's amazing,

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>um and okay, so let's give them lalla. It's what

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 1>can people expect reading that book? What does give them

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>lalla mean? Like is it just like all of you, like,

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>what is it? So give them wala? I first, like,

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:25.400
<v Speaker 1>did that tagline or whatever you call it? When I

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>was doing Bander Pump Rule season five, I had left

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was like super vain, you know, and drunk

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>all the time and was like if these people what

0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 1>they want me? And as I got older, and we'll

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>say I evolved somewhat, it was more of like do

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you unapologetically like give them exactly who you are and

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and don't apologize for it. So the book is a

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 1>book of stories. I may have given everyone too much

0:25:55.720 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 1>lala lala that they couldn't ask for. I definitely overshare,

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:04.159
<v Speaker 1>but I took woman's that were really defining moments to

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>get me to where I am at the age of

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think we were done with the writing

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>process when I was twenty nine or thirty and I'm

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>just so proud of this book and what I chose

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to share. And there were so many moments that I

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 1>would have panic attacks, wake up in like cold sweats,

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:29.440
<v Speaker 1>going what am I doing? Why am I sharing this?

0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know, specifically the chapter where I speak about

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:38.919
<v Speaker 1>my abortion, and you know, my manager calling and the

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 1>editor calling saying, I don't know that you're going to

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 1>get the reaction you think you're going to get by

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:48.120
<v Speaker 1>sharing this, and I was like, I don't care. There

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 1>are so many women who are faced with this decision

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 1>and I need them to know that they're not alone

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and they're not judged, and that was important for me.

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's there's so many different aspects to the book

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 1>where you know, whether it's my sobriety choosing abortion, or

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>whether I was seven years old coming to the realization

0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to be an actress. You know, we're

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 1>all over the place. Do you want to write another

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:22.919
<v Speaker 1>book with everything that happened this last year? That is

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the hope, because I have so you know, I I

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.159
<v Speaker 1>read this book or read back on it, and I'm like,

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 1>this feels like a completely different lifetime and you know,

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm now a mother, I've now gone through a separation

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.719
<v Speaker 1>I never thought I would go through, and I've just

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:47.920
<v Speaker 1>learned so much as a person and writing give them

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>La La. You know, I was still comfortable to pop

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 1>off and I would wear my emotions on my sleeve,

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:56.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm still doing those things. But I would like

0:27:56.160 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to write another book to show how everything that's happened

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to me has put me in a place of what

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>matters and what doesn't? What am I putting my energy into?

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.159
<v Speaker 1>What am I going to disengage with people and realize

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>this isn't worth my time? So I feel like a

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:16.120
<v Speaker 1>whole different person. Yes, the short answer to your question

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.399
<v Speaker 1>about a second book, Yes, I would love to. Yeah. No,

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think too. I mean so many people

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>are going to want to hear it um and and

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:30.679
<v Speaker 1>read it. And to the people that say, you know

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the same with me, it's like, oh, you know your

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:34.360
<v Speaker 1>your daughter is going to see this or your son,

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, you know, what my daughter and my

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 1>son are going to say is a really strong mom.

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>And they're you know, they're not going to read it

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>when they're six years old. They're going to read it

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>when they're you know, in high school or out of

0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>high school, and It's not about them hating, you know,

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>we're having any bad feelings. It's about hey, this is

0:28:50.880 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>how strong my mom is and this is what she

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>got there. Like that's that's what I'm telling you know,

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and everything else can have a time and place to

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>rest all with you know, their their dad or whatever.

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:06.480
<v Speaker 1>But we all need to have those discussions anyway, you

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:08.239
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. I mean like you should have

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 1>these discussions eventually with your children, you know, or they're

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>just gonna see you all broke up and they're gonna

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.959
<v Speaker 1>have a million questions. So you know, I think that's okay,

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that's okay as long as you're not completely trashing them

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to your kids. I think that, you know what I mean, Like,

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 1>as long as you're like, well, daddy did this, and daddy,

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever, I think you're fine, And I think

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you have conversations with them, and that's just gonna be

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 1>how your reality is and it's going to help a

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. I was doing this exercise and therapy

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>their day where I won't give the whole thing away,

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>but it was just about basically all the all the

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>pain and trauma and then putting that on something that

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>helps grow and you're gonna help other people grow and

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna help other people you know, um and learn,

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 1>And I just I love that. It's like, that's that's

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>why you share. And I love that you're you know,

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 1>in your in your book give them lawa. It's like

0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't you don't hold back. And I remember my

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 1>editor was like, well, let's wait until you find the man.

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I don't want the next book to be

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 1>about how I found love again and how I'm happy.

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like I want my happiness to come from within me,

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Like that's the book I want to write, like how

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I found myself after Like not because oh I found

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you know me Andy and are happily in love. Like

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.239
<v Speaker 1>that's not what I want to write about. And I

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:27.400
<v Speaker 1>think the most interesting book would be about you, you know,

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:31.040
<v Speaker 1>basically falling back in love with yourself and putting yourself first.

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>You know. Are you terrified to date? By the way,

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I'm terrified. I just don't think

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready yet. I don't feel like I have anything

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to offer a person right now. And when I say that,

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean any extra time or energy I have. I

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>would rather like spread that to the people that are

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:54.960
<v Speaker 1>already in my life, who had been, who have been

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.800
<v Speaker 1>writer dies for me, I just don't want to invest

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>anything into another person going out and bumping gums and

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>like talking something like that I can do, but like

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:09.959
<v Speaker 1>bumping yeah, I love us. No, it's hard because I'm

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship now and it's like it is very

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.479
<v Speaker 1>strange to be like, oh wow, this is this feels

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>different and you know, um it's that's another road being

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>in a healthy relationship after a toxic relationship. But that

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:28.920
<v Speaker 1>could be the next book that can be like we

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>want to hear, Like women who are going through this,

0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 1>they want to hear that they can do it. They

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>want to hear and they can gather in that they're strong,

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that they can do it on their own. They don't

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 1>want to hear about oh, the next relationship, like nobody wants.

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would read that book, a book about

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 1>just a woman coming back into her own and we

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>should write those kinds of books. The sister. Okay, so

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 1>product wise, what's going on? Where can people get all

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.680

<v Speaker 1>like I I overshare share, people you know, say like

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.760

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:28.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of validating, like yes, we're helping people, Like oversharing

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 1>is not necessarily a bad thing. People want all of y'all,

0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>but then they want to complain at the other you know,

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>at the other end. No, it's it's a very um,

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it's very comforting and I love people that do that because, yeah,

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like, Okay, I'm not alone in what

0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm wanting to do is help other people. What I'm

0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 1>wanting to it's not that I'm that people will be

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>like stop talking about it, like Ian must feel so

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed or and I'm like, he knows that. It has

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with Mike. It has everything to do

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 1>with just sharing the story, helping other people acknowledging things

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and maybe their relationship. And but yeah, it's it's very

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 1>comforting to like talk to someone else that thinks them

0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 1>is has gone down that road and that is willing

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it because she's right. Like a lot

0:34:16.200 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of times it's like, oh no, the guys can go

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 1>do what they want to do, but yet we then

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 1>have to be quiet like no, they can go do

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:25.680
<v Speaker 1>it publicly and then yeah, but you have to be

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>you can. You can blow our world up, and then

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:31.919
<v Speaker 1>you want us to go say nothing, right m m yeah,

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:34.719
<v Speaker 1>that's not cool. That's not cool at all. But I

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 1>don't wear it anymore. That's the thing. I don't want

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to wear it anymore. It's not like like my next

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.640
<v Speaker 1>chapter is like moving on, but it's still It's like

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not stuck in it. I just it's just when

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I talk about things, it's just part of the experience. Well,

0:34:46.760 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and part of your moving on is what you have

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 1>to still tell that part of it, that's what you're
