1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Hello, gorgeous. It's La La Kent. Welcome to untraditionally Lala. Hey, babes, 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: it's La La Kent, Welcome to untraditionally Lala. Oh my gosh. 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: Last week, what a vibe. So I had Amber Childers 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: as my first guest on my Reinvented podcast, and I 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: was so nervous because I was coming in and I'm like, Okay, 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: even though the podcast is being reinvented, like I'm still 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: still lalla. But there was something that happened that day 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: where I don't want to say that I was in 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: my head because it was actually quite the opposite. It 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: was like, for the first time doing that episode with Amber, 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: I was not having an out of body experience, like 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: I felt very much in tune with myself the conversation, 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: and that is when I knew, like, Wow, this reinvented 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: podcast really is ringing true to who I am. And 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: that was the best feeling in the world. And now 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: you guys have been able to hear the episode and 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: you've seen the new photo and the new name, and 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm really into the fact that you guys are into it, 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: because that is always like nerve wracking. You're like Okay, 20 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: we're making a change, but like, is am I gonna 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: like cracker barrel my ass off with this whole? Like 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: is my stock gonna plummet? Am I gonna have to 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: go back anyway? We don't even have to worry about 24 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: it because it didn't end up that way. So thank 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: you guys for listening, thank you for sticking with me, 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: thank you for remembering me on our downtime. I want 27 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: to start with this is my first solo episode I've 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: ever done, and I'm tripping balls, Like I think the 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: only time I've done something solo solo is when I 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: do Amazon Live. But Easton's there so I can kind of, 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: like you know, talk some shit, and I feel like 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm not talking ad people, So just roll with me. 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: This is new. It's just all new experiences. I had 34 00:01:52,360 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: a really amazing and nerve racking experience last week. And 35 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: before I jump into that, because I'm really excited to 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: tell you guys about it, but today my daughter Ocean 37 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: is going to an eye doctor appointment. And what I've 38 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: noticed is she's got when she looks up, and it's 39 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: only when she looks up her eyes kind of go. 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: And I don't want this to come across as mean. 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: I love my daughter. She's stunning, but she starts looking 42 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: like a lizard. And so I'm kind of freaking out 43 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: because we went to one doctor and they were like, there's, 44 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, nothing we can really do. You can do 45 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: surgery if it bothers you, but unless you know she's 46 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: got vision issues, then like, we wouldn't tell you to 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: go and do surgery. And I'm like, you know, I really, 48 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: at four and a half years old, don't want to 49 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: have surgery for my daughter. She's young. But at the 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: same time, if it's something that can't be fixed unless 51 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: we do surgery, do I rock it until she says, like, Mom, 52 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I want to do the surgery. They said, doing it 53 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: younger is the way to go. Like, I don't know, 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: you guys, I know I'm probably being a nutjob, but 55 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: this is what I've been dealing with all morning. We'll 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: see what this second doctor says about her eyes. I 57 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: don't know what the actual medical term for the condition is. 58 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: I call it a lazy eye, which is like Layman's terms. 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: My mom has one. It's genetic less than like thirty 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: percent of people, which I guess seems like a lot. 61 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Maybe that's wrong. It's a very low percentage of people 62 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: who were born with a lazy eye actually have someone 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: a part of their family who inherits it. That's just 64 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: what I've been told. I don't know no doctor, I'm 65 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: no scientific science person. I'm just I'm just listening to 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: what I listened to and spewing it onto you. All right, 67 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: let's talk about my experience, because the past I want 68 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: to say, Well, since Ocean was born, it's you know, 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: four and a half years, my life has taken a 70 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: bit of a turn, and I have to think about 71 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: things that I normally wouldn't have to think about. And 72 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: I started realizing how the stakes were much higher when 73 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: my business manager called me and said, you know, you 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: have Ocean. We really need to get you life insurance. 75 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: And I was like, what the fuck is this? You know, 76 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: I've seen twenty twenty where people kill people for life insurance, Like, 77 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: why do I need it? No one's trying to kill me. 78 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 1: It's much much broader than that. So we're going through 79 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: just all of these questions and the process of getting 80 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: life insurance for myself in case something happens to me. 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: And then Sos is born and we have to go 82 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: back and do the whole bit again of like doing 83 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: the blood tests, answering the questions. It's like a very 84 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: long process to get life insurance and then my eye 85 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: situation appears. Right. So, for those of you who don't know, 86 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: this was probably I think it was in May. I 87 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: noticed the slightest discolor on my eye and the color 88 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: was like very like a faint butter yellow. Butter yellow's 89 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: very in these days, right, But I'm not trying to 90 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: have it on my fucking eye. I don't need my 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: eye wearing butter yellow. Okay, body cool ie, not happening. 92 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: And I googled it and it said, you know, this 93 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: is basically the equivalent to a callus on your hand. 94 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: Your eye with just like the natural elements will start 95 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: forming what is called the pininguecula and it's like a 96 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: very slight yellowish discoloration. There's nothing you can do about it. 97 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: And I'm like, all right, sexy, fine whatever. This was 98 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: probably a few months before I went to the optometrist 99 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: in May. They tell me, uh, you know, not to 100 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: worry about it at my initial appointment. But I'm starting 101 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: to notice that this faint yellow spot is now having 102 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: like these bright veins going right to it, and I'm like, 103 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: that looks not right. I'm like, this looks like these 104 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: veins may be feeding this pinguacula. I hate that fucking name. 105 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: By the way, It's so every time I say it, 106 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: I'm like, ugh, it gives me like the ick, kind 107 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: of like moist. It's like pinguacula. Oh, vomit. So I'm 108 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 1: luminifying my ass off. That's working. But then it starts 109 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: to get raised and it almost looks like a blister 110 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: and it's bright red, but the actual pinguecula is like white. 111 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: I go back into the optometrist. They're like, hey, we 112 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: need to just give you a steroid. It's inflamed. I'm like, excellent. 113 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: So I at this point in time am set to 114 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: go to film a show overseas. I'm not gonna say 115 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: what the show is. You guys know it. I'm super excited, 116 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: but I'm like, holy fuck, I can't be on camera 117 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: with this shit on my eye. So I'm calling every 118 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: doctor i possibly can to like get myself into surgery 119 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: to remove it so I can go and film this show. 120 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: In the meantime, I have Lindsey Hubbs hitting me up 121 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: being like I had the surgery. My eyes still read. 122 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of people in the DMS, and 123 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: I apologize if you've heard this story already, but it 124 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: leads to why I went and did what I did 125 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: a couple days ago. So I text my friend who's 126 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: like a grandfather to me, Robert Shapiro. I've known him 127 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: for many years. He has hooked me up with a 128 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: lot of people in the past. If it's you know 129 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: something that is urgent and I need it immediately, I 130 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: call Bob. I said, I have this thing on my eye. 131 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: I gotta get it taken care of. He sends me 132 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: to a specialist that he highly recommends. This guy is 133 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: super hard to get into. He gets me in the 134 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: next day, he takes one look at it, you guys, 135 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: and says, that's not a penguecula. That is pre cancer, 136 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: and I would like you to go to another specialist 137 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: who's also very difficult to get into, just to make sure. 138 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: Maybe she does a biopsy. The next day they get 139 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: me in, she takes one look at it. She was like, 140 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: you know, he wants me to buyopsy it, but I 141 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: don't need to biopsy it because I know what it is. 142 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: It's pre cancer, and we're going to be starting you 143 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: on five f you drops, which are chemotherapy drops in 144 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: the eye. And I told her, well, girl, I got 145 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: to be out of here in a few weeks. And 146 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: she laughed at me and she was like, you're not 147 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: going anywhere. You will be in this office every two 148 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: weeks for the next three months, and after that we're 149 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: going to reevaluate, and if all goes as planned, the 150 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: five f you will help, and then I'm going to 151 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: see you every four months for the rest of your life. 152 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: And I was like, excellent, Wow, this is really fucking weird. 153 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: I asked her, like, what causes this, and she was like, honestly, 154 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: it's bad luck. There are many people who are in 155 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the sun all the time. There are many people who 156 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: are exposed to the natural elements of life and they 157 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: don't get pre cancer in their eyes. So cut to 158 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: where we are now, the pre cancer is gone. The 159 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: five FU drops worked beautifully. My body responded amazing. I 160 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: had little to no side effects at all. But now 161 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: I start tweaking out because I'm hearing about all of 162 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: these people who, you know, they had a headache or 163 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: they had something on their arm and then it turned 164 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: out to be something catastrophic. So for me, I was thinking, 165 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: where did this thing in my eye, this pre cancer 166 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: come from? Where did it start? Like I I'm all 167 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: about falling back when something makes sense the whole, you know, 168 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: just bad luck. There's no reason it doesn't work for me, 169 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: even though that could very well be the case. Right again, 170 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: I'm no doctor, so I reached out to Preneuvo. For 171 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: those of you who don't know what Preneuvo is, they 172 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: do MRI scans. They do it for your head. They 173 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: also do full body and because this thing in my eye, 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: I've been experiencing weird, tingling sensations that go from the 175 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: center of my head up to the top. I don't 176 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: get headaches often, but I do suffer from migraines on occasion, 177 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: which is why I also love botox. I love it 178 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: because it de wrinkles my forehead and makes my forehead 179 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: look like glass, but it also minimizes my migraines. So 180 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: I was like, I got to get in just for 181 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: peace of mind. And let's remember, I want to say 182 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: that I live a pretty healthy lifestyle now, like it's 183 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: well balanced. I exercise, I feel like I eat well 184 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: on occasional smack McDonald's, like who doesn't. But also I 185 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: have to remember what I did in my past. I 186 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: was a heavy drinker back in the day. I was 187 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: a vapor back in the day, And I just want 188 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: to make sure that all of those things, although I 189 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: don't do them now, have they followed me in too 190 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: thirty five And there's just so many things that we 191 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: talk about and hear about it. It's like the microplastics, 192 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: and then you hear about someone who lived such a 193 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: healthy lifestyle and like dropped dead from a heart attack. 194 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: I want to know what the fuck is going on 195 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: in my body period. I'm going to read this on here. 196 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: A preneuvo scan is whole body MRI scan that detects 197 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: over five hundred potential medical conditions, including cancers, cys aneurysms, 198 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: often before symptoms even appear. So this is what I 199 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: was told when I went in and they were walking 200 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: me through it. They said, the reason why cancer is 201 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: such a terrifying word is because there's no symptoms, and 202 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: by the time you catch it, you're in stage three 203 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: or four. So what if there was a machine that 204 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: you could do once a year that could catch it 205 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: before you hit those stages where the survival rate is 206 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: ninety percent plus. I like those odds. I'm not a gambler, 207 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: But if you're telling me that you can put me 208 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: in a machine once a year and look at every 209 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: single thing in my body and then send me off 210 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: to the races, knowing that my children will not have 211 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to use the life insurance that I've gotten for them, like, 212 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: I want to do that. So I go in the 213 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: first question, though, you guys are like, so are you claustrophobic? 214 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I mean, I don't know what are 215 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: you putting me in here? I've never done this before, 216 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: Like I don't think I am, but like, no one's 217 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: putting me in small tubes on the rag, So I'm like, 218 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: not really sure before we even start or if you 219 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: guys ever choose to do this, which I highly recommend 220 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: if you are claustrophobic, I most definitely take like a 221 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: beta blocker and on the form with prenuvo that they 222 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: send you that you fill out, like one of the 223 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: first questions is are you claustrophobic? If you are, they'll 224 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: prescribe something to you at your pharmacy and all will 225 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: be good. Let me tell you something. This place, this 226 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna rave about the most. They put 227 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Netflix on for me. I literally walk in there like 228 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: are you claustrophobic? I said, we're gonna find out together, 229 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: and they said would you like Netflix? And I was like, 230 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: Seinfeld is on Netflix, so that's gonna be a fuck 231 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: yeah for me. And the way that they lay you 232 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: in there, I'm like, oh, this is totally fun and 233 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: like I'm vibing. Oh no, oh no, bitches, just see 234 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: you wait because I'm like, this is how it is. 235 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna shoot me through the two I'm gonna have 236 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: a heyday. Oh my god. They're like patting my legs. 237 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: They've got something over my legs and I'm like, okay, 238 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of nice. It moves to my size that 239 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: they pad and I'm like, right, it's like a way 240 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: to blink it. We're fine. Then my stomach and I 241 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: was like all right now, now I'm starting to feel 242 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: like I'm panicking. Then they put something over your face, 243 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: your head from here down to maybe like mid tit 244 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: maybe chest, I don't know, depending if you have fake 245 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: boobs or not. And there's the smallest little hole at 246 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: the top of you, guys, and I was like, okay, 247 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: law you know what, You're a fucking bad bitch. This 248 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: is where you're gonna sit and you're going to you 249 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: preach all the time about like if your mind is 250 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: powerful enough to talk you into something, it's most certainly 251 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: powerful enough to talk you out of something. So I'm 252 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: actively talking myself out of claustrophobia. It was the most 253 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: difficult thing I've ever fucking done, because like, too late, man, 254 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: they can't prescribe me something like at my pharmacy. We're here. 255 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: Then they put this like mirror on top of it, 256 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: so through the hole there's a big screen TV in 257 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: the back of you, and the mirror shows you Seinfeld 258 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: or whatever you want to watch. I highly recommend Seinfeld 259 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: because they put me into the thing and in the headphones, 260 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: you guys put me into the MRI machine. In the headphones, 261 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm like balls deep Overary's Deep and Seinfeld and just 262 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: living my best life. They're telling me what to do, 263 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: like breathe in, breathe out. If it's a woman like it, 264 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: like an AI character, breathe in, breathe out, hold your breath. 265 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: And there were a few times that I was so 266 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: so dout watching Seinfeld. I didn't fucking do it. I 267 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: was chilling. I'm sure they were looking at my brain activity, 268 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: being like this woman might be brainde because there's not 269 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: much happening, not much brain activity. He would come through 270 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: the guy like running the machine. He'd come through on 271 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: the speaker and be like, Hey, so we're just gonna 272 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: do that again. If you could just listen to the woman, 273 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: she's gonna tell you exactly what to do. When you 274 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: just have to follow exactly what she tells you to 275 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: do him like, you would think that's simple, right, You 276 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: would think that's a simple thing to do. So I 277 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: will say the overall of like if you're claustrophobic, totally easy. 278 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: If you get claustrophobic, take a beta blocker. They have 279 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: twenty two locations prenew Vo does, and they have said 280 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: that their goal is to have some They want it 281 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: in every major city so that no matter where you 282 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: are in the United States, there's one that you can 283 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: drive to. And I loved this because when I was 284 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: talking to I guess the tech she was so kind, 285 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: but she was like, if you think about it, when 286 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: you go into a doctor, you're allotted. Let's just say 287 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: an average, give or take of seven minutes. They have 288 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: seven minutes per patient, and you, in that moment, are 289 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: a statistic to them. No, doctors do great work. I 290 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: don't want to dismiss what doctors do for us, like 291 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm all about science and all of the thing. But 292 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: she put it so perfectly. You at thirty five years old, La, La, 293 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: You go into a doctor and you say, I'm having 294 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: something going on in my head. I'm concerned. Tell me 295 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: what you're feeling. I'm feeling this. I'm concerned that I 296 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: may have something going on in my head, tumor whatever 297 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: word you want to place in there. They're immediately going 298 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: to say, from her chart, she's thirty five years old, 299 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: she doesn't drink, doesn't smoke. They're going to say, statistically, 300 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: this is a healthy human. The likelihood of her having 301 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: a brain tumor is very low. They're not going to 302 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: give you an MRI. It's basically like a prescription. A 303 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: doctor prescribes you a pill. A doctor prescribes you an MRI, 304 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: and those MRIs that you have done run upwards. And 305 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: this blew my mind when she told me this run 306 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: upwards of twenty thousand dollars and they take three to 307 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: four hours to do a full body MRI. Preneuvo has 308 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: the location I went to. They have five machines. The 309 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: overall appointment in total was seventy minutes. I was in 310 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: the machine for forty five So for context, I watched 311 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: two episodes of Seinfeld and then the beginning stand up 312 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: part of like Jerry Seinfeld. That's that's how long the 313 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: appointment while I was in the machine. And these full 314 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: body scans at Preneuvo are twenty five hundred dollars. Now, 315 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: I know that everyone is going to hear that. I 316 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: know that that is. That's a lot of money that 317 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: is not lost on me. If we're going to compare 318 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars, No one needs to say to you, yes, 319 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: this is what you need. I'm going to give you 320 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: a phone number. You're gonna call them, tell them that 321 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: this is your doctor. I'll send over your paperwork. You 322 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: literally pick up the phone, you call them, and you say, 323 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: I want a full body MRI. No questions asked, You're there, right, 324 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: you can get the sky on twenty five hundred dollars. 325 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: I know it's a lot of money, but that compared 326 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: to twenty thousand plus to see what's going on in 327 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: your body. There's nothing more important than your health. My 328 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: mom has always said, without your health, you have nothing. 329 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: You would have all the money in the world, you 330 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: could be doing all of the funniest, most fantastic things 331 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: on the planet. If you're not healthy, there's a really, 332 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: really big problem. Right, you can't live a happy life. 333 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: So I don't know when it switched for me. I 334 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: used to be in the mindset of keeping my blinders 335 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: on and not knowing something. I'm better off because then 336 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: I'll stress about it. But there's so many things that 337 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: you could be feeling in your legs, your arms, your back, 338 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And the tech was talking to 339 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: me saying, you know, you could be feeling something in 340 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: your head and it has nothing to do with your head, 341 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: because your body, it's all connected, it's all firing to 342 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: each other. And what this scan is going to do 343 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: is get to the root of the problem. And you know, 344 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: me thinking about my health. You know, I think most 345 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: people that listen to this podcast, you know, we have 346 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: loved ones, we're parents. We think about what life would 347 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: be like if we weren't here. Anymore, at least I 348 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: do since I had children and I have a very 349 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: as you guys know, untraditional households. I have a four 350 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: year old Ocean with somebody. She has a dad. It's 351 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: very not normal, but I had her the old fashioned way, 352 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: and then Sosa, who was conceived via donor. If something 353 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: were to happen to me, you guys, I'm not going 354 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: to get a mo I'm going to keep my head 355 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: on straight and breathe. Something were to happen to me, 356 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: And I thought about this while I was doing my 357 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: life insurance as well. Ocean has a dad, so we 358 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: know where where she would go. And there is a 359 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: very high possibility because I don't trust the other side 360 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: and the other side probably doesn't trust me, and that's fine. 361 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: It is what it is. There's a high possibility that 362 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: my brother, my mom, and Sosa, Ocean's sister would never 363 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: see Ocean again till you know, she was old enough 364 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: to reach out. That would be a possibility, and that's 365 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: something that has always weighed heavy on me, and I've 366 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: put in in paperwork. You know, if something happens to me, 367 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: there needs to be a significant amount of money that 368 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: goes to my family. Not just to take care of them, 369 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: but if they need to fight for ocean, they have 370 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: the means to do so. Sosa. I know this sounds horrible. 371 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: If I weren't here anymore, this is so morbid. I'm 372 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: sorry that I'm even going here, but I think it's 373 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: important to talk about because we all need to be 374 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: on our game and have a plan B. I live 375 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: by a plan B, Sosa, I worry less about because 376 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: if something were to happen to me, I know that 377 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: she is in the best of hands. She's got my mom, 378 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: she's got my brother. But the real reasoning for me 379 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: going into preneuvo was to know that God forbid, I 380 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: have something going on which I don't have the results 381 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: back yet I will be able to get a hold 382 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: of it before it's too late, and if everything goes 383 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: to shit for real, I just want to know what's 384 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: going going on so that my girls are going to 385 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: have each other. I know that sounds so dark, but 386 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: that's where my mind goes when I think about things 387 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: like this. So that's where my mind goes. And I'm 388 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: sorry that I got maybe a little too deep and 389 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: dark and a little morbid, but that's just the way 390 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: my perspective and life and outlook have shifted since since 391 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: having kids, and I know I'm not the only one 392 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: who who looks at life this way. I really really 393 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: do take I like to think great care of myself. 394 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, my kids are my number one priority and 395 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I live and breathe for them. They're the They're the 396 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: besides my sobriety, because without my sobriety, I wouldn't be 397 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: able to do any of the things I do. But 398 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: they're the proudest thing that I have ever done in 399 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: my life. And without me taking care of myself, everything 400 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: is just kind of gonna fall apart. And I do 401 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: when people ask me when they say, how do you balance? 402 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: How do you prioritize? And that's not always easy, and 403 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: I understand that. You know, it's hard when we're waking 404 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: up and taking care of kids, making lunches, doing drop off. 405 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: You know you could fit time before all of that 406 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,719 Speaker 1: to go work out, But like, who wants to fucking 407 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: do that? Or this sounds like so much fun, you guys, 408 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: after the longest day of taking care of everybody else, 409 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: then you go work out. I'm not trying to fucking 410 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: do that either, Like it's a lot. The balancing act 411 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: you are seen, I am with you. There's got to 412 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: be a version of us being able to be present 413 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: for our families and also taking care of ourselves. So 414 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: I'm going to be totally honest. When the clock hits 415 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: a certain point at night and my daughter, Ocean, who 416 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: still sleeps with me, you guys, and you know, last 417 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: night she was moving all over the bed and I 418 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: was like, that's it. Tomorrow night, she's going in her 419 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: own bed. We're gonna start sleeping in our own bed. 420 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: And I had a moment of pause, going if I 421 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: put her in her own bed, that's another phase of 422 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: life that has just closed that will never come back. 423 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: And then of course I cry because that's just who 424 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: I am. And I'm like, okay, we're not putting her 425 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: in her own bed because I'm gonna miss the moving around. 426 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: I'm not ready for that phase to close. We'll just 427 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: wake up and look tired and puffy every day, like 428 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck, right, we'll look hot at 429 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: some point. Again, today's not the day. Tomorrow won't be either. 430 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: We've got makeup. Fuck it. So Ocean sleeps with me, 431 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: but there are times where she'll get out of bed 432 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: like I'm very I don't want to I say strict, 433 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: but I'm I like my routine. I am a virgo. 434 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: If the wind blows in a direction that I was 435 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: not planning, I panic, so I start. I remember saying 436 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: to my mom the other day, because she was like, 437 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna bake cookies. I go, it's five thirty and 438 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: my mom goes, ooh. I was like, I'm such a 439 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: fucking square. But I said that because I'm like, you're 440 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: you're telling her you're gonna bake cookies. She still has 441 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: a plate of food. You're gonna spend the next hour 442 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: try and get her to eat that, and now you've 443 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: promised this is putting us at the seven o'clock hour. 444 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm panicking because that's going to infringe on mom time. 445 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: I like to get my kids. Sosa's in bed by 446 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: six six thirty, okay, And I've taught her. She's a 447 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: year old. I've taught Sosa. I'm sure, Well, I'm gonna 448 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: say this and then she's gonna regress and it's gonna 449 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: be a fucking nightmare. But it's okay. We roll with 450 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: the punk. She will sit in her crib and talk 451 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: to herself for like twenty minutes before she goes to bed. 452 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. She needs her alone time, right, 453 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: that's Sosa's time. Ocean is obsessed with watching sharks murder things. 454 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: That's how she likes to go to bed. We get 455 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: in bed at seven, enjoy watch the shark fuck up 456 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: this person. I don't know, like if that's what puts 457 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: you to bed, This is Ocean time. And guess what 458 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: Once those two things are done, it is mommy time. 459 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: If Ocean gets out of that fucking bed and comes 460 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: in and asks me for anything, I tell her, Mom's 461 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: off the clock. My day's done. I'm no longer mom anymore. 462 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: I love you so much. I adore you. Get in 463 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: the bed, but I'm hungry. Kitchen's closed. Kitchens closed, Mom 464 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: is closed. Everything that you need right now is closed, 465 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: except for that fucking bed and the shark attacks you're watching. 466 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: Those are open. Go for it, have a hayday. I'm 467 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: trying to teach her to also take time for herself. 468 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: You know it's been a long day. She's in preschool. 469 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: You know that finger painting is no fucking joke. Take 470 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: time for yourself. Mom time is so important. I will 471 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: sit in the bath and literally stare into the oblivion 472 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: thinking about probably for me, thinking about a lot. I 473 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: need to work on meditation, clearing the mind, thinking about 474 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: everything I've ever done wrong in my life, saying the 475 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: Serenity prayer twenty seven times to get me out of 476 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: the funk. But I really do feel like we, as moms, especially, 477 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: we suffer from that mom guilt where we feel like 478 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: we have to be on for everybody. Twenty four to seven. 479 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: My kid's upset and doesn't want to go to bed, 480 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: Get the fuck to bed. It is mom time, And 481 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: I think if you start there, it always starts at home. 482 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: Home is your safe space. You're supposed to feel comfortable. 483 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: You're supposed to feel like you can take a load off. 484 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: The pressures of life are so high. You gotta worry 485 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: about the husband and feeding and doing whatever it is 486 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: that he fucking needs. We are put on the back burner. Stress, 487 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: you guys, is the number one killer of all of us. 488 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I believe stress is what took my dad at the 489 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: age of sixty four. I believe that stress not. I 490 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: believe it's fact. It causes ulcers, It puts a tremendous 491 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: amount of stress on your heart, and I am a stressor. 492 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: So when people look at me and they're like, wow, 493 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: I's a square, she goes about it at like seven. 494 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: I have to my health is very very important to me. 495 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: I want to be present. I want to be on 496 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: my fucking game. I want to try to look my best. 497 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: Doesn't always happen, but who cares? And you have to 498 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: sit and prioritize yourself in moments that you feel like 499 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: it's just it's just too much. I used to watch 500 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: regular TV where you would have ads, and I remember 501 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: this woman, I think, like a Milano's cookie ad, and 502 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: she was sitting in the bathroom and she had the 503 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: door locked and there's kids banging on the door, and 504 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: I was like, this is like such a freaking weird ad, 505 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: Like who would ever eat Milanal cookies next to a toilet? Me? Now, me, 506 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: that's what I do. I eat Milano's next to the 507 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: fucking toilet just to get one little bit of just 508 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: WU saw time. And I hope with this scan, this 509 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: prenuva scan, when it comes back that we're in the clear. Right. 510 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: I think my biggest thing that I'm concerned about, which 511 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: is wild because I was talking to you guys for 512 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: those of you who watched The Valley Zach Wickham his 513 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: boyfriend is an optometrist, and I was talking to him 514 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: about the ice situation and I was like, I'm just worried, 515 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: Like where did it come from? Is something going on 516 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: in my head? He was like, I really don't think 517 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: one has anything to do with the other. So after 518 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: this prenuvo scan, I would say, my two biggest things 519 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: that I'm concerned about. One is my head. I don't 520 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: know why I would be having tingling sensations cooling sensations. 521 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: I want to know what's going on there. The next 522 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: would be I'm extremely concerned about the level of stress 523 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: and pressure that I put on myself and how it 524 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: has manifested itself inside of my body. That's the second 525 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: thing that I'm I'm really very much concerned about. And 526 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: the third I would say is the sea word because 527 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: cancer runs in my family, and the women in my 528 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: family have been older when they've gotten that diagnosis. But 529 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: my grandmother on my dad's side passed away from cancer, 530 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: and my grandmother on my mom's side passed away from cancer. 531 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: So those things scare me and keep in mind you guys, 532 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: I go and get my ultrasounds on my boobs. And 533 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: anybody who tells you we do mammograms after the age 534 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: of forty, I want you to fight for yourselves and 535 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: advocate for your health. Get in there. If you don't 536 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: do a mammogram, then what do you do For a 537 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: woman of my age, I want to say, they're gonna 538 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: give you an ultrasound. And I remember, at the age 539 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: of fourteen, my grandmother was diagnosed with caner or no. 540 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I was 541 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: terrified that I had breast cancer. You guys, I was 542 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: fourteen and I went in to get an ultrasound on 543 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: my boops. There was It wasn't a lump that I 544 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: was feeling. It was breast tissue because I was getting 545 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 1: my tig old bitties. Lucky for me, right, but I 546 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: was concerned. Advocate for your health. You don't have anyone 547 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: else to do it. I am going to have a 548 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: discount code that Prenuvo was nice enough to give to 549 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: my listeners and to my followers. I will post that 550 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: you can go onto their website and you can see 551 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: all of the locations that they have. I also didn't 552 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: realize that these machines, you guys, cost one point three 553 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: million dollars. They are insanely high tech, their state of 554 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: the art, their brand new. A lot of hospitals that 555 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: you go to, y'all that I just realized, they bring 556 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: in the machinery, the MRI machines, and they actually build 557 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: the hospital around those machines because you can't get them 558 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: through the fucking door. So these machines that other hospitals 559 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: are using, they could be twenty years old because you 560 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: just can't bring in new machines, you know, whenever you 561 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: want PRENEUVEO, I highly recommend. I'm very nervous. I should 562 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: have my results back in just a couple of days. 563 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: I'll keep you guys updated on what is said. But 564 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: I think my main thing with this podcast beyond just 565 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: prioritizing yourselves and making yourself someone who has a voice. 566 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: It's so easy to lose our voice in this world. 567 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: We find it so much easier to just shut up, 568 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: you know. We find it so much easier with all 569 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: of the information that's so accessible at all times, to 570 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: kind of shut down. I feel like we're all running 571 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: on autopilot, and I get it. It's a lot, but 572 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm hoping with this podcast that we can take a 573 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: moment to say, you know what, I'm going to advocate 574 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: for myself when someone tells me no, and I think 575 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,479 Speaker 1: something is wrong. You know you better than anybody else, 576 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: better than any doctor. You know when something is not right. 577 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 1: And if you go to a doctor and they're giving 578 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: you an answer that just does not sit right in 579 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: the tummy, Please make that known because I want everyone 580 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: to catch things before it's it's too late. We've seen, 581 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, Teddy Mellencamp who has been advocating and she 582 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: single handedly changed the dermatologist game. I said that on 583 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: an episode. I want to say a few months back, 584 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: I went to the dermatologist because I've also been obsessing 585 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: over that where I'm like, there's a shreckle popped up, 586 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: what the fuck is this? And he's like, you're fine. 587 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: I just saw you last week, just saw you last week. 588 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: And I told him, I was like, you know, Teddy 589 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: is a friend of mine, and I'm just like, you know, 590 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: she's out here and she's being a voice. And he said, 591 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: let me tell you something about Teddy Mellencamp. She has 592 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: single handedly changed the dermatology game and beyond, and I 593 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: just found that. I sent her a text and I 594 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: was like, you don't have to respond to this, but 595 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: I find it important for you to know that while 596 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: you're in the fight for your own life, how many 597 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: lives that you're saving. I'm so sorry. So I found 598 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: it very important to talk about my experience with prenuvo. 599 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: I know that we hear the twenty five hundred dollars 600 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: and we lose our That is a lot fucking money. 601 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: And I know we all work so hard for our money. 602 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: I highly highly encourage you guys to make it a 603 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: priority prioritize yourselves. I know that we all get caught 604 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: up in life and it becomes very intense and sometimes 605 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: not not knowing we think is better than knowing. And 606 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: I really want to break that. You know, my mom 607 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: lives in this world of like everything's fine, mind over matter, 608 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to break that cycle with my mom 609 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: as well.
