My sister and my 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: boyfriend don't talk. She is my older sister, my only sister, 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: and he is my boyfriend of four years. Prior to 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 3: me and my boyfriend becoming a couple, him and my 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: dad had an argument and thankfully they were able to 19 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 3: stomp it out make amends, and now they have a 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 3: beautiful relationship together that I love and appreciate. However, my 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: sister is, in my opinion, holding on to a problem 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: that doesn't really correspond to her. And when I first 23 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: confronted her on why she doesn't talk to him, she 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 3: stated that it was because of that, it was because 25 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: of the problem that he had had with my dad. 26 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 3: And she also explained to me that my brother in 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: law is mainly the one telling her, you know, not 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 3: to forgive my boyfriend and not to have a relationship 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: with him. But it causes a lot of problems. It 30 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: causes me a lot of pain. My sister recently got 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: married and my boyfriend wasn't invited, you know, and it 32 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: made us feel some type of way. Definitely. I know 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: it definitely made him feel some type of way. And 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 3: I just don't want to have this tension when my 35 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: sister and my boyfriend can't be around each other. So 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 3: what do you advise me to do? 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Look, anyone that loves you, your boyfriend, 38 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: your dad, he made amends with your boyfriend, your sister. 39 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: They want you to be happy, so and they need 40 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: to respect whatever decision you make. With that being said, 41 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: I definitely feel that you need to speak up. I 42 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: think you need to tell your sister, Look, I love 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: this guy and I want it to work and I 44 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: love you and I want you guys to get along, 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: So set something up where you guys can meet together, 46 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: all three of you, and just squash it, because, like 47 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 1: you said, it's going to cause the only person that's 48 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: causing pain to is yourself. And if your sister loves 49 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: you and this is your only sister, I can just 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: imagine how you feel. She needs to put whatever resentment 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: to the side, for it to dissipate, to disappear, because 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: that's also causing her pain. She doesn't realize it, but 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: it's also causing her a weight that she is caring, 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: that she is not allowing her to move forward in 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: any way, you know what I mean, especially with you, 56 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: and it's just what's going to happen. If she doesn't, 57 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, want to fix things with your boyfriend, it's 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: going to push you away and I don't think she 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: wants that. So I definitely advise you to speak up 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: and have the meat. It's time. If your dad already 61 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: forgave him, if they're good, then your sister needs to 62 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: let it go. And I'm sorry, but your sister's husband 63 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: needs to mind his own business because this is this 64 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: is a situation between you and your sister, and your 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: sister needs to be able to make her own decisions. 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: So I really, really really hope that you guys can 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: talk Jenny, because I'm telling you, I've been through that 68 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: and it sucks. It sucks so bad, and you feel 69 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: uncomfortable and you feel caught between a hard place and 70 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: a rock, and I just really pray that you guys 71 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: are able to fix this. Okay, So that is my advice. 72 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: Do it sooner rather than later, girl, because this is 73 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: this is no way to live. 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you so much for your question.

I feel like 88 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: my health has always been challenging, just because I feel 89 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: like in the Mexican community, not a lot of people 90 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: take their health very shares until like they're like dying 91 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: or get admitted.

Reading a positive book. Reading just takes 131 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: your mind somewhere else.

So those are 140 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: the three things that I recommend, like nine to one 141 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: one because I get it.

And the more 145 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: that we say that we're grateful, the better we feel. 146 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: It's crazy, but just you know, write down every day 147 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: three things that you're grateful for. Okay, And I'm hoping 148 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: that everything gets better and I want to hear from 149 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: you again. Okay, Jess, I hope you feel better, And 150 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: thank you so much for your question. Again, I really 151 00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Okay, we're gonna go with Maria's question. 152 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 4: Hi Chikis. I am from India, California, and my question 153 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: to you is what does self love mean to you? 154 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: Oh, Maria, I like that question, just straight to the point. Huh, 155 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: So self love to me, some people get the wrong 156 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: idea of self love as being selfish. It's being self centered. 157 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: That is not the case. It's really putting yourself first. 158 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that because if you're not okay, 159 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: how are you going to be able to be there 160 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: for other people? If you are emotionally not okay, if 161 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: you are not physically okay, then you're not able to 162 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: give your best to anyone. So for me, self love 163 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: is self care, taking care of yourself, taking a bath, honestly, 164 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: Like it's crazy, how just on a Sunday, turning on 165 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: some candles, reading a book, laying in the back with 166 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: some EPs and salt, just detoxing your body and your mind. 167 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: It just helps like set the tone for the rest 168 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: of the week. You know, I usually like doing that 169 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: on Sundays, but just stuff like that, Like really, also 170 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,359 Speaker 1: a part of self love and self care is setting boundaries. 171 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: That is huge, you guys and it's so difficult to do. 172 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: But setting boundaries with people that no longer serve your 173 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: highest good, that are loving you for who you are, 174 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: who are judging or criticizing you. It could be anyone 175 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: where you're just like, you know what, ask that key, 176 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: I am not putting up with this mistreatment or with 177 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: the way you're acting, how you're making me feel. Boundaries 178 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: are amazing. That's part of self love, self care, anything 179 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: that's gonna make you feel better so that you are 180 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: able to give yourself to people as your best self, 181 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So that is my definition. There's 182 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: so many other things, but to me, those are the 183 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: things that came to mind right now. So I hope 184 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: that helped. Okay, and thank you for your question, Maria, 185 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: And now we are going with Palmeliss question. 186 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: Hi Tikis. I am a new business owner and entrepreneur. 187 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 4: I have a couple questions for you business related. 188 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 5: I am struggling to find a work life balance and 189 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 5: kind of having like my own me time and separating 190 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 5: everything else from work because I'm so consumed with work. 191 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 4: So my first question is how do you balance that? 192 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: My second and important question is I know that you 193 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: have a bunch of businesses, and I'm sure you might 194 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: have partnerships, So I was just wondering, what are some 195 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 4: tips with creating a partnership agreement? What are some of 196 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 4: your non negotiables? And my last question for you is 197 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: kind of going back with the other question, like how 198 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 4: do you balance that work life relationship, especially with your partnership. 199 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 4: All right, that's basically it. Thank you so much, Tiki's. 200 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: Oh this is I'm gonna tell you because just the 201 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: other day, Emilio, my partner, was telling me that I'm 202 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: a bit of a workaholic, and I am, but I 203 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: feel that I am I do very well with balancing 204 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: my career and my personal life because it's super important 205 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: to me. I think the best thing and the best 206 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: advice that I can give you is really telling yourself, Okay, 207 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to work from ten to six pm, and 208 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: after that I am going to focus on my health, 209 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: on my partner as far as like a romantic partner. 210 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: I think it's super important to do that because if not, 211 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: you're going to get so consumed and you're going to 212 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: start resenting your business or your work. So you have 213 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: to really be adamant and intentional about just saying here 214 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: on Sundays, I'm not doing anything that has to do 215 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: with work because I need to go see my family, 216 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: I need to spend time with whomever goes shopping, whatever's 217 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: going to make you feel happy. To find that balance. So, 218 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: first of all, that's on you, like it's on us. 219 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: And sometimes I do find myself going more onto like 220 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: the work where I'm like, I find myself being on 221 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: my phone a little bit too much. But I think 222 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: if you just vocalize that to the people around you, 223 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: because you want to be present, that's another thing, Like 224 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: I want to be present. So sometimes I'm like, okay, wait, 225 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: hold on, let me put my phone down. You have 226 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: to remind yourself to do that. Okay, it's an everyday thing. 227 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: Every day will be different. But the more that you 228 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: tell yourself, I want to find balance. I need the balance. 229 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: I want to work and I want my business to 230 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: be successful. But you don't want to get to the 231 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: point where you get so exhausted you can't be therefore 232 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: yourself or for anyone else. Okay, So really find that 233 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: timeframe where you're working and also a day where you're 234 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: just completely off, you know, And as far as partnerships. Yes, 235 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: I have partnerships. I'm so lucky to have great partners. 236 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm very transparent. I think the main thing is being 237 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: very honest from the very beginning, setting the foundation with 238 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: them and saying, here, this is a type of partner 239 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: I am, this is what I bring into the partnership, 240 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: and respect each other. And a lot of these people 241 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: are my friends. So it's like when we're speaking business, 242 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: it's business, and we don't let one thing bleed into 243 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: to the other, into the friendship, you know. So that 244 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: could be a little difficult to manage, but I think 245 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: once you just set it straight, it's like, this is something, 246 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: for instance, a non negotiable for me is if you're 247 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: not going to show me and be transparent with me numbers, 248 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm not having it. I should be able to ask 249 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: at any time, what do our numbers look like? What 250 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 1: are our sales looking like? And it should be given 251 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: to you right away. Every partnership is different. I'm just 252 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm that type of partner that I'm the one that pushes. 253 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm the marketing, I'm creative, and my partners take care 254 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: of all the numbers and all like the real like 255 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: day to day things. Which I completely am so grateful for. 256 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: So it all just depends. It's just really setting down 257 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: the foundation from the very beginning, being one hundred percent 258 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: honest and saying, you know what, Like with one of 259 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: my really good friends, Vanessa, who I have a shampool 260 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: line with, it was, look, we're not going to ever 261 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: let the business affect our friendship, and if we ever 262 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: find that happening, if that's starting to happen, then we're 263 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: gonna close the partnership on the business side and continue 264 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: with our friendship. So we set that down from the 265 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: very beginning. So I hope that made sense and I 266 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: hope that was able. You know, I was able to 267 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: help you.
