00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: your question at the sound of the beeB.

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: Hi Cheeky's, My name is Sammy. My question to you

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: is how did you deal with dating? And do I

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: guess living at your parents' house? That's I guess my

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: question right now. It's like I have a boyfriend, but

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: then sometimes the interference with having to be home at

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: a serving time, or having to let your parents more,

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: or having to ask your parents like, hey, can I

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: go do this? Can I do? Mind you?

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: I'm twenty six, not that I just started dating, but

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: I kind of like this is the guy that I

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: brought to the house for them to meet, and it's

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 3: it makes it hard because I am twenty six and

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: I do live under like whatever rules they have, but

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 3: then everybody tells me to but you're twenty six and

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, but my parents are Mexican, so I

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: wonder if you give me advice on how to deal

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: with them.

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: Sammy, girl, you're a Latina, especially Mexican households. That's how

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: my mom was, you live under my roof. You have

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: to follow my rules. And I was like, well, i'll

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: pay you rent, and she's like, I don't care even

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: if you pay rent. Honestly, I know it could be

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: a little annoying. I know that you, you know, want

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: to do your thing with your man. But girl, the

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: fact that you live with your parents and you have

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: your parents, like, that's a huge blessing. So the advice

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: I can give you is be grateful. First of all,

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: be grateful that you have your parents and that they

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: care about you enough. All they're trying to do is

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: just protect you from anything happening to you, Like if

42
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: there's a curfew. My mom even had a curfew. She's

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: like anytime after two there's nothing open. But you're like,

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: so you need to be home before like two o'clock,

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: and sometimes I had like I had to be home

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: at twelve. Depending it.

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: Girl.

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: I was living with my mom until I was twenty six,

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: So I get it. And if you don't like it,

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: then your other choices move out, you know. But I

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: think it's a beautiful thing that your parents want you

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: to live with them, and I'm assuming you're not going

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: to leave the house until you're married, so they want

54
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: to see how serious this person is, especially if this

55
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: guy is a first person that you bring to them.

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: Just take it slow, take it day by day, and

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: just be grateful honestly.

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 4: You know.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: I know it's can be annoying, and yes, you're twenty six,

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: but you're living in a Mexican household and that's just

61
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: not ever going to change. And they're very traditional and

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: you can't change that. So just respect what they have

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: and what they want for you. And if not, then

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: you got to move al girl, that's the bottom line.

65
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: But then that's gonna make them sad, especially if you're

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: not leaving like married or engaged. And I get it.

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there were times where I was like,

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, mom, I'm twenty five years old. And

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: I still have to ask you for permission for everything.

70
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, but it's a beautiful thing. You know, you

71
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: have your parents that love you. So just be patient

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: and take it day by day. There's no rush. Don't

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: rush things with this person. Just take it day by day.

74
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: That's the best thing I can tell you. Okay. I

75
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: hope that helps Sammy, but I get you. I totally understand. Okay.

76
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: So our next question comes from Rachel well Ash.

77
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 5: So my question is more of a beauty question. I

78
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 5: know in the past you have shared treatments you have

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 5: used to tone your thighs, legs, but and I would

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 5: like to know what has worked best for you as

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 5: a Latina like you, I have a bigger bottom half

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: and we all exercise and eat righte make healthy decisions

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: to help that. But sometimes it's not enough and you

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 5: need the treatments. What has worked best for you?

85
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: Ooh, I like this question, Thank you, Rachel. Okay. So,

86
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: I know we want like an easy fix because that's

87
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: just the world we live in, and we want like

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: that magic solution. But it's a conjunction of things. I mean,

89
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I've always been bottom heavy, I've always dealt with bigger legs,

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: and cellulite in the whole thing. And I thought at

91
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: my age now getting older was going to get worse,

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: but it honestly has gotten so much better. But because

93
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I've also become more aware of my health and making

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: healthier choices. So collagen every day. That's one thing I'm

95
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: going to tell you. Collagen for your skin for the tightening,

96
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, because at a certain age we stop producing

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: collagen naturally, men and women, especially women, So always make

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: sure that you take collagen every day. It's going to

99
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: help with your skin, with your bones right, and also

100
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: help with cellul like okay, Also I have an anti

101
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: cellulite cream from below the skin, if you want to

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: check it out. That helps. It's not a magic thing.

103
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: It's not going to make it go away forever. But

104
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: if you're wearing shorts or you're wearing a skirt, you're

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: going to go to the beach, you can put it on.

106
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: If you put it on morning and night every day,

107
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: it'll really help diminish and help you have more of

108
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: like a toned look and a smooth look. It really

109
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: helps me out. I put all over my body. I

110
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: put on my tummy, especially if I'm gonna be in

111
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: a bikini on my arms, my thighs, my booty, the

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: whole thing. But more than anything that you could do

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: or go to, like even a plastic surgeon. Girl, I've

114
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: done almost everything for it. What has helped me the

115
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: most is getting on the treadmill at least thirty minutes

116
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: a day, three times a week, and just walking on

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: an incline. There's no reason to run. You don't have

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: to run. People have like this idea of like, I

119
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: need a run to lose weight. But if you're trying

120
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: to tone and just keep that booty up, I would

121
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: suggest getting on the bike, okay, cycling, and also walking

122
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: on an incline at least on a ten incline at

123
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: a three three point zero speed anywhere from two point

124
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: five to three point zero is good, and then bringing

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: it up, you guys, to fifteen percent inclined. Okay. That's

126
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: what's worked the best for me, and I've noticed the

127
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: difference in my booty and in my thighs. So I

128
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: hope that helps because I've suffered with that my entire life,

129
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: and I get it, girl, But the best thing is

130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: exercise and also changing your eating habits. So Rachel, I

131
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: hope that helps grow, because I know you probably wanted

132
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: to hear like, oh, I can go get this done

133
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: and it will help for a little while. But long

134
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: term is getting on the treadmill and you don't have

135
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: to run. Like I said, take it slow. Okay. So

136
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: our next question is from Monica.

137
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 4: Hi, Cheeky's I wanted to get your thoughts right now,

138
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: career wise, I'm doing amazing. I'm at the best I've

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 4: ever been. I'm making more than I've ever made. I've

140
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: made my health a priority. I pretty much have my

141
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: dream body right now. I've worked so hard for it.

142
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 4: The problem is that my partner really wants kids, and

143
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: I just don't know what to do. I don't want

144
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: to risk my career or the body that I work

145
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: so hard for. I figured you would understand because right

146
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: now your career is really just taking off. You're doing

147
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: amazing and you look incredible. Does Amelia pressure you at all?

148
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts? Am I being selfish? I really

149
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: don't know what to do?

150
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, Monica, thank you for being vulnerable, you know,

151
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: because uh yeah, like even you asking me if you're

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: being selfish, I mean some people will see it that way.

153
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Like I get that you know, and people have told

154
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: me that too, even my brothers. Actually, they're like, you

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: just don't want to mess up your body and stuff

156
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: like that, and I'm not gonna lie. I've thought about

157
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: that and I'm like, dude, I've always suffered with my

158
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: weight and finally I'm at my smallest and it's like, oh,

159
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. It scares me, but then I'm like,

160
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: you know what the joy that a baby's going to

161
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: bring to my life and to a melio it's priceless.

162
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: If you worked and I know you worked very hard

163
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: and you got your body to where it is now

164
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: and your career is thriving and you're doing good your career.

165
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: No one can take away from you, girl, because that's

166
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: you and you've worked hard for it and no one

167
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: can do what you do. Okay. So that's how I

168
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: feel as far as my career, and you know, I

169
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: don't know what your career is. But for me, I'm like, well,

170
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pregnant singing women. You know, Cardi

171
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: b went on stage. So now that doesn't bother me

172
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: as much because before it was like no, it's like,

173
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, you have to keep your body. It was

174
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: different back in the days and now things have changed.

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: But going back to that, like you can work out

176
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: being pregnant, and you don't, there's no reason for you

177
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: to gain all that weight. I mean, my cousin didn't

178
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: even gain that much. She just had her baby. She

179
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: gained eighteen pounds and she's two pounds away from being

180
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: what she was before she was pregnant. And she's had

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: her baby a week ago. She's breastfeeding. So I get it.

182
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Our bodies change, our bodies go through a lot being pregnant.

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: But girl, I'm sure that you can get your body

184
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: back and maintain your body while you're pregnant if you

185
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: really love this guy. Emilio doesn't really pressure me. Emilio,

186
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: I've told him from the beginning, I'm not sure if

187
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I can or if I want to have kids. And

188
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: I was very honest with him from the beginning. And

189
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys had that conversation, but

190
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: if you didn't, then that's something that's going to be

191
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. But I was very honest

192
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: from the beginning. I'm like, this is my situation. So

193
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: he doesn't pressure me. He's like, if we don't have kids.

194
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I love you, I want you forever. I

195
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to change down the line.

196
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's what he tells me now.

197
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: But if you really love this guy and he really

198
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: wants a baby, like you got to think about it, babe.

199
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: If you don't want to give it to him, for

200
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: whatever reasons, whether they're right or wrong, or if whatever

201
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: anyone tells you, if you can't give him what he wants,

202
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: you're going to have to let him go. And I'm

203
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: going to just be straight up because it's not fair

204
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: that he wants something you're not able to give it

205
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: to him. So if you don't let him go, then

206
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: that's when I'd be like, oh, you're being selfish, Like

207
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: if you don't want to give him what he's looking

208
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: for and what he really wants, and you guys have

209
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: to make a mature decision about going your separate ways,

210
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: or you just say, Okay, I love this guy and

211
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: he's important to me, and I'm gonna get pregnant and

212
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to make this work. I'm going to be

213
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: healthy while i'm pregnant and work out, and I'm going

214
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: to try to keep my body if that's what's really

215
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: like the most important thing, but you got to wait out.

216
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: That's my true and honest advice. So it's a tough one.

217
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: It's a hard pill to swallow, but those are your choices.

218
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: So Monica, I want to hear from you. I want

219
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: to see what you decided. Okay, so make sure you

220
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: tap in with us. You guys know I'm real. I'm

221
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna tell he how it is. Girls. So anyways, Monica,

222
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Now, our next question comes from

223
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: an anonymous listener.

224
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 4: Hi, Chee Kis.

225
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 6: So, I was asked aid by one of my mom's brothers,

226
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 6: and obviously it was really rough for me. And when

227
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 6: I finally spoke up about it, my mom was there

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 6: for me, but I feel like at the same time.

229
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 4: She was there for her brother.

230
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 6: And I think that it really affects me to see

231
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 6: that she still loves on him and cares for him

232
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 6: after everything.

233
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: He put me through.

234
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 6: And he's the reason that I'm in therapy right now.

235
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 6: And when I first, you know, talked about it, obviously

236
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 6: her whole family was like, well, you deserved it because

237
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 6: of the way you dress, and you know, they try

238
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 6: to justify it on the alcohol and the drugs that

239
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 6: he does. And so, yeah, I don't have any contact

240
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 6: with my mom's family, but obviously I still live with

241
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 6: my mom and I love her. But at the same time,

242
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 6: I have so much anger built up towards her because

243
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 6: I don't know how she can still hang around the

244
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 6: person that hurt me the most. So yeah, thank you

245
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 6: for listening to my question, and it would be great

246
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: if you could respond to it.

247
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: Thank you.

248
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Ooh, this is a tough one, and I understand why

249
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: you didn't give us your name, and I totally respect that.

250
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Oh see, Oh my gosh, this is tough because your

251
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: mom is in a very difficult position. Obviously, you're her daughter.

252
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: She loves you. This is also her brother, and she

253
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: probably has the pressure of her family. I don't know

254
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: if as a mother I'd be able to Oh my gosh,

255
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about it. That's tough

256
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: because if I ever have a daughter, and God forbid,

257
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: and I know my brothers would never but I can't

258
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: even imagine. I can't. So I think you through therapy,

259
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you're going through therapy. That's good. I

260
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: think through therapy you're going to find a way to heal,

261
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: and once you heal from anything, everything else around you

262
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: doesn't affect you as much. So I think you're still

263
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: in your healing process that you're gonna be able to

264
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: forgive him one hundred percent one day where you're like,

265
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna make excuses for him.

266
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: I'm not going to excuse what he did, but I'm

267
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: going to forgive him because I got to the place

268
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: where I forgave my dad. It took me a while,

269
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: and then I couldn't understand why my sister Jackie still

270
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: wanted to have a relationship with him. For a little bit,

271
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: I was like a little offended. But then after going

272
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: through therapy and I'm like, you know what, I guess

273
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent here from this. But once

274
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: I was continuing with therapy and life coaching, now I

275
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: don't care. Now I'm like, sister, that's your dad. You

276
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: can absolutely have a relationship with him. I'm not going

277
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: to hold it against you because what happened to me

278
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: didn't happen to you. And if you still want to

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: have a relationship, I'm going to respect that. But that

280
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: came with healing, babe, which is why I'm telling you

281
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: continue with therapy, heal, and try to be compassionate with

282
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: your mom because it's still her brother and she loves him,

283
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: and she obviously loves you, So I think it's just

284
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: healing and also being compassionate and understanding her and trying

285
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: not to hold her resentment towards her, try to understand her, like,

286
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: let her go through her process. And one thing I

287
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: will tell you, your family members that told you that it

288
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: was your fault because of the way you dress f them,

289
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry f them all because that's not true. So

290
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't ever, ever, ever let that get into your

291
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: head and make you feel like you're at fault. Absolutely not.

292
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: What he did was wrong, whether he was on drug

293
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: ugs or drinking or not. He needs to go to

294
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: a rehab, and they need to take him to a rehab,

295
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: all of them, instead of trying to blame other people

296
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: for what he did to you. Absolutely not. That's one

297
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: thing that I'm not going to tolerate. So they need

298
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: to worry about getting him some freaking help. Because if

299
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: you're still drinking all this stuff like, you're probably not

300
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: the only person that has happened to So they need

301
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: to do what they need to do their due diligence

302
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: in stopping him from doing this to someone else. But

303
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: as far as you're healing, pray for strength and to

304
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: be able to forgive your mom because you don't want

305
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: to hold that resentment, Babe, that's going to make that's

306
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: toxic for you. And you need to find it in
