5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: issues with your family, or maybe you need help figuring

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: suffering from an issue or hardship, you should seek help

Speaker 1: from a qualified professional. All right, Now go ahead and

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: leave your question at the sound of the beep. H Now, chickies,

12
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: what's your opinion on parenting? Like, do you think mom

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: should do everything or do you think dad should also

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: help out as well? Oh, short and sweet, Okay, since

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: I don't know your name, i'll call you baby, and

16
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I was good. I really think that on parenting it

17
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: should be fifty. Look, I'm not a mom, but I'm

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: a mom. I raised my siblings. I would always say

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: I was the wife and my mom was a husband.

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: She would go out and work and it was a

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: little difficult because I'd be home and I'm trying to

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: like set the rules and everything, and then she'd come

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: and just be like, oh, you know whatever, it's fine,

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them. I'll buy them whatever they want.

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no no, no, we have to be on

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: the same page. Anyways, I'm going somewhere else with this,

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: but I do think that the father should help just

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: as much as the mother. I think that if the

29
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: mom takes you know, the kids to school in the morning,

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: the dad should become up if he can, you know

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like c in parenting, the only way

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: for the children to respect their parents, both of them

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: the same is by both having that same respect for

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: each other and helping out with the kids. That's my

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: personal opinion. I really do think, and I'm hoping that

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: your husband or or your baby daddy is helping you

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: out enough. Sometimes they just feel that they pay for

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: things and I'm the red winner and you should handle

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: the rest. And it's so much more than money. It's time,

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: it's quality time, it's love, it's you feeling supported as

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: a parent as a mother, and the children seeing that. Anyways,

42
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: that's my take on it. That's my personal opinion, and

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: I hope that it helps. I hope you can. You

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: can speak to your baby daddy and it works out. Um, okay.

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Our next question comes from Liz. Let's hear what she

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: has to say. She gives what's your advice on starting

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: a skin Caroline? How do you find your chemist and

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: all your information? Are you willing to give guidance? Because

49
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: I've been trying to figure out a way to make

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: you know a line as well, and I've hit a

51
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of blocks on the road when it comes to

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: trying to decipher my thought process. So just curious. Oh well, Liz,

53
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: First of all, congratulations, I think that's amazing. I love skincare.

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: I love it so much. Look, I I'll be honest.

55
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: A chemist, a very good chemist, is hard to come by,

56
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: but they're out there. I would definitely start by googleing

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: and interviewing a few Google especially like in your area,

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: wherever it is that you live, You're always going to

59
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: find some if you want, like organic, you know what

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: I mean, like always like It depends on what kind

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: of skincare line you want. I was fortunate enough and

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: blessed enough to have met my business partner who had

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: been in the business for a long time before I

64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: met her, and had her own skin care line and

65
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: I told her I want mine, so I had that support.

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: So that's it's a very particular type of situation. But

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: now that it's been years that I've been with her,

68
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot, and it's all about knowing the

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: ingredients that you want. Like the best thing is going

70
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Knowledge is power, So ingredients. Knowing that even

71
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: before you go and me to chemists, you know what

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: um nice CineMate is, you know, or you know everyone

73
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: knows how ironic acid or just things like that, like

74
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: what it is that you want in your own skincare line.

75
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Informing yourself first, so google YouTube all that helps, and

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: then googling you know, a local chemist and interviewing a few.

77
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: Don't go with the first, to go with a few, okay, Um,

78
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I hope it works out lives because that's awesome. Hopefully

79
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I'll use yours one day too. All right? Oh? Our

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: last question is from Stephanie. Hi chikis, I'm here cooking.

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: I just finished listening to one of your episodes and

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: I thought I would just sort of ask you a question,

83
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: um something. I think you might be the perfect person

84
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: to give me advice because I know that you're really

85
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: close with your siblings. And that's something that I love

86
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: and I've always wanted, but it's not something that I've

87
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: been able to achieve for some reason. I don't know

88
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: if it's me, if it's the other person. I'm sure

89
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: you've struggled over the years with disagreements and stuff like that.

90
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: And the thing is that my sister and I are

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: very very close together in age, but I don't know,

92
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: we just haven't been able to click. It's just been

93
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: kind of a tumultuous relationship. So any tips and tricks

94
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: and advice you might have about working things through and

95
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: maybe creating a stronger bond would be much appreciated. Thank

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: you so much. I'm looking forward to next week's episode. Um,

97
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: I love you so much. Fight Hi Stephanie. Okay, so look,

98
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: I have a sister. What have to Jackie is four

99
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: years younger than I, and she always says that I

100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: was her first best friend, and mind you like, we

101
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: were very very close, and then there was a time

102
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: in our life where we kind of just drifted apart.

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: That was very difficult because she became a mom and

104
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: we just I felt like we didn't have things in common,

105
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: which was we heard because we're sisters. But I made

106
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: it a point as the eldest sister and even if

107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: you're not the eldest sisters. What I told Jennika the

108
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: other day, like you can invite me out to lunch too,

109
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, it just doesn't have

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: to be me because I'm the oldest. You know. I

111
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: took my sister on a date the other day and

112
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: I just said, and honestly, I was a little nervous.

113
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I haven't hung out with her in

114
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: a long time, just her and I. But I took

115
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: that leap of faith and I took that risk and

116
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: I said, we both like Jack Johnson, I'm just going

117
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: to buy the tickets and I'd be like, hey, sister,

118
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I want to take you on a date. And it

119
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: was so amazing. It was such a beautiful experience. I think,

120
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: more than anything is just being intentional. The word is

121
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: being intentional in texting them, even if they don't text you,

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: like sometimes we're waiting for them to be the first

123
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: or something, you know, and it's just saying, hey, how

124
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: are you, I help you have a good day. I

125
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: love you. Random ass Texas, Random ass Flowers I don't know,

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, or just inviting them to

127
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: the movies, you know, Like for a long time, I

128
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: was like, Jackie doesn't have time, she has four kids,

129
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: she's married. It's like she needs that as well. We

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: both needed it, you know. So I think it's just

131
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: everyday choosing, like you choose to be with your partner

132
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: and make it work. It's choosing to make that relationship

133
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: with your siblings work, even though sometimes they'll get on

134
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: your nerves and there's things that they do that you

135
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: won't like. But it's just choosing to be a better sister.

136
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: I always pray, oh my God, help me be a

137
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: better sister, help me be a better boss, help me

138
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: be like I want to be better. Like that's I

139
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: don't know, wanting that. I think having that desire makes

140
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: a huge difference. So yeah, I mean, and just no,

141
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: life happens and things change and people evolve and that's good.

142
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: So we just have to readjust you know, hopefully I

143
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: answered your question, Stephanie, But yes, be intentional, be intentional

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: and take that risk. I did and it worked out

145
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: for me and I'm so happy. We're gonna go on

146
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: another day hopefully. So um, but okay, guys, thank you
