0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, Welcome back, Tiffany.

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>No, it feels so good to be back. Honestly, I

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>woke up this morning. It was my first day of like,

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, back at work, and I was like, you know,

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>one more day. But then I had my first call

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>with the team, and I was like, I love it here.

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>All good. Okay, So you didn't have like the Monday

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>scary or what is it the Sunday scaries coming back?

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I was like, you know, yesterday, it was just

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm used to waking up and literally being like I

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 2>could do whatever I want, and so initially I was like, wait,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I have responsibilities. So I wasn't sure how I felt

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>about it, But then talking to the team and they

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>were just so excited and the projects that were working on,

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and I honestly loved doing the budget Nista, but the

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>time away it was like my chance to reconnect with Tiffany.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I had not hung out with her in a long

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 2>long time, so.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not like, you know, it happened.

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So it was like, Tiffany, it's cute that you do Budgetista,

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>but there's also Tiffany, so don't forget about her.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 3>So it was just a really great time to reconnect.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Six weeks. I took three of the weeks to go

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 3>on VAK and then three three in a row.

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>No like the first week. I needed like a real decompressed.

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I told my husband, everybody leave me alone. I run

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>to the beach house right next to the border, and

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>I remember many we had, like our long, like delicious talk.

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 3>That was awesome.

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I probably can't expect a two hours

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>phone calls from every day of her fatus, but it.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Was great, And honestly, I walked the boardwalk. I went

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>back to being vegan. I got so much exercising. Although

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I have not lost any weight, my.

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Body is shapely, honey, like I lost inches.

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I just feel really good, and I took two weeks

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>to kind of hang out with my my niece and

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>my nephew. Like my sister was so grateful because like

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 2>every other day, I was like, I'm coming to pick

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 2>up the kids. I'm taking them to the zoo, I'm

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 2>coming to pick up the kids. I'm taking them on

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>a little hike for like four hours. And she was like,

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>is this real life? So that was really a lot

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>of fun. And then I hung out my family a

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>lot and and Superman and Supergirl.

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Then I took a one week vacation to Ashville, North Carolina.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 3>About five days.

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to see the Biltmore because I really love Yeah,

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I love historic homes. And I was like, you know,

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 2>I've always too wanted to see like the Blue mountains,

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>you know untains.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 3>Yes, they're beautiful. The Builtmore is I don't even have

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>the words for it.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 3>It was so beautiful. And then the last week we

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 3>went to Florida Keys and that was, Yes, that was amazing,

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Like it was that.

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Is not the Jersey Shore, No, it was very much.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 3>It was it was giving Jamaica without the accents. Okay,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 3>So that was with the family. So Biltmore I did

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 3>by myself.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>The shore I did by myself, but then invited like

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>my sister and the kids for for a night to

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>spend the night. And then uh Florida I did with

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the you know, my husband and my my bonus baby,

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>my bonus daughter, and so it was exactly you know

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you like I was worried that I wasn't you know,

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I don't want to just sit home,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>but I also don't want to give myself task because

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 2>you know how we are like. And then you know,

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>like first week I was like taking courses. My husband

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, what what are you doing. I was like, oh,

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I started this trading course. I'm totally gonna learn the trade.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's how you told the day we talked and

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>we were like, I don't learn how to trade.

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 2>And then after three.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Days and I was like, this is not fun, Tiffany.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>This is supposed to be a break girl. You can

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>learn to trade at on your own time, on a budget,

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Easter time.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 3>This is Tiffany time.

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>So when I tell you I read at least ten books, Mandy,

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>it's been because.

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 3>I was really like a big reader.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like and then I just didn't get a chance

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to you know, I just never gave Tiffany a chance

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>to be Tiffany. So I stopped reading as much, but

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I forgot how much I enjoyed reading, and I read

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>some really great books. I found myself reading a lot

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>of amazing kind of memoirs from like dope people and

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>being inspired by their journey and like their journey allowing

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>me to see my journey differently, like oh, you're not crazy,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Like how you're feeling is normal. This is I read

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ebon Orgi's what is it called Bamboozo My d Jesus.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 3>That was really good. I was like, look like I

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 3>was like not.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>To say, I'm surprised it was good, but especially once

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 2>you got into the meat and potatoes, it was really

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>good about reconnecting me back to spirit and like how

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>it could she really make sure that God plays like

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>a role in her everyday life.

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 3>It's not just like this like oh, off to the side.

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 2>And it was a reminder that like, oh, you know,

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been connected to a higher source. And then

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I listened to Elaine welter Off More Than Enough. That's

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>such a great book about her story and how she

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>became his teen Vogue editor in chief and all that

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>happened and how she got there.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>That was great.

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Then randomly I listened to Magnolia, you know, Magnolia Story

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Chip and Joanna.

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh really yeah, that was good. I was like, wow,

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>they have a memoir.

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it was really good about it.

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It's actually less I thought it was gonna be about

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.679
<v Speaker 2>how do they become you know, Chip and Joanna Gains

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 2>of HGTV. No. What I didn't realize is like they

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>had already done ninety percent of the work by the

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:47.799
<v Speaker 2>time the show came along.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 3>So it was kind of like, oh, wow, the show.

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Didn't actually make them. The show would put a spotlight

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 2>on what they made. And I was like, oh, and

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I had to like mentally apologize to Chip because I'm

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 2>not gonna lie he was an idiot and.

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Make him look so like the dumb jock. But you

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>know TV will do that.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>No, Mandy, when I tell you he's the business like

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 2>genius behind it all, I was like, wait, what.

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I was not to say? Joanna obviously is smart, but

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 3>like she is the creative one.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Joanna says, hmm, I think that we should you know,

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 2>like bread crocodiles, and Chip figures it out and finances

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>it and figures, you know what I mean. So she

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>has like the idea and sometimes and many times the

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>idea comes from him.

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 3>But it actually hit his part because it was, you know,

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>they both read the book.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>His part made me want to go and read his book,

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and I did. I think it's called Capital Gains, and

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I was even more impressed. He's got an amazing business

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>mind and how he thinks about growth.

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, so sorry, you're not a dummy.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm listening to Shoe Dog, Phil Knight's book

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>about Nike. He's the co founder of Nike. Honestly, if

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>you you are a business owner, I implore you to

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:08.720
<v Speaker 2>read or listen to Shoe Dog because it is the realest,

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>like I guess, memoir or story about a business. Literally

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>he failed for like fifteen year street and so you

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>know all these illusions that you see on social media

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of like I make my money and I only worked too.

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I was a year Like you listened to Shoe Dog

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, oh my god, how did he keep going?

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 3>It's such a really good like book.

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I read, like I said, a ton of

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 2>books and they really helped to reset how I thought

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 2>about how I thought about my journey and my life,

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and they were just really interesting and so like I

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 2>just I'm just full of so many like lessons and

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>bursting with like I don't know, I'm just rejuvenated and

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>my comf is refilled.

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love that I only had a Well, we

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>missed you so much, but we had a wonderful opportunity

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to get some guests on the show. But we're so

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>excited to have you. I'm saying we I'm so excited,

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and I imagine all the listeners are so excited. I mean,

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about taking time off and rejuvenating

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>because that's something. I mean, you missed a lot while

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you were gone, but nothing groundbreaking. I mean I kind

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>of started my own business and got a tesla, and

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't I probably gained inches, I didn't lose any inches. Yeah,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot has gone down. But I just took a

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>mini little rejuice. I didn't take a six week hiatis,

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>but I took a weekend hiatus. We went to this

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>farm in the Catskills, and I don't know. All I

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>can say is I drank a bottle of wine last

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>week in Tiffany, and I was on the internet and

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I cannot even tell you what search query I typed

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>into the Google gods, but I found this farm that

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.559
<v Speaker 1>is like the perfect the perfect getaway for a family

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.959
<v Speaker 1>who wants to be outdoorsy but doesn't want to do

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the work to be outdoorsy. So it was like semi glamping,

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>but you get a big private tent with beds and

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a toilet and a sink, but you're in the woods.

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Then you get to cook on a stove, but like

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 1>they provide it for you. And yes, you can have

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>a wood burning oven in in your tent, but they

0:08:58.160 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>give you the wood and they chop it for you.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And then sure they do you know, pizza night on Saturday,

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and they do wood fire pizzas and they have all

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the animals and oh my god, it was so it

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>was so fun. And I mean I slept twelve hours.

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I went to bed at eight pm last night, and

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I woke up at eight am this morning because I

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>was just so dog tired chasing my child around the

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 1>farm for three days. But I'm with you about like

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>no social media and taking a little hiatus because it

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>was off the grid, off the grid, there was no

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi, no electricity other than the lanterns they would

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>give you, you know, to see in the dark at

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>at your cabin, but it was in the fresh air.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 1>When I tell you seeing my son like Rio, and

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 1>you missed this too. So Rio. Actually we've been talking

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to we've been learning more about his speech. He hasn't

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>really been talking as much. He's nineteen months now and

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>he's in your preschool teachers, he might know a little

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.959
<v Speaker 1>bit about this, but or you were. Anyway, he's you know,

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>he's got some kind of a speech delay, but he

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>loves to communicate. And just seeing him out there, I mean,

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.199
<v Speaker 1>he literally squealed when we when we got when we

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>got dropped off at the farm on Friday night, he

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 1>squealed when he saw the chickens. It's all the cows.

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It was wonderful And it was just a weekend. And

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.199
<v Speaker 1>don't tell a husbe, but I already booked another weekend

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>at the same farm. Yeah, for October.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 2>No, it sounds awesome now. Question because another a friend

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 2>of mine, her daughter is two, and she was concerning

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 2>not that she doesn't say anything, but not sentences. It's

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 2>like a word here, word there, And she was like, oh,

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, I was like, well, one she's two, so

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, like that's a when kids are really I

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>had a cousin who had speech delay until he was five,

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and now he's like a neuroscientist, so let's not you know.

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:44.839
<v Speaker 3>I was like, don't look at your house.

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like sometimes people like literally Now, one of the

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 2>things that I suggested and question, does Enrique do you

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>speak to Rio in Spanish?

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 3>And does Rique speak to Rio in Spanish?

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Not?

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Really? No, I know that was something that crossed our mind.

0:10:58.679 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>We can't.

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I can't even pretend like he's raised completely bilingual, except

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>he does see his grandparents fairly regularly, and they of

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>course speak to him in Spanish. They don't speak English.

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>But I will say, you know, for anyone who's listening

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and they have a young like a toddler, who's maybe

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>not if you're just concerned, you know, I don't have

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 1>any kid to compare him to, especially not during quarantine

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>when he hasn't been around any other kids. So basically

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I told myself I'd wait till eighteen months and then

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd ask a pediatrician. And she never really seems to

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>care that much about any of my concerns. She's always like, yeah,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it's normal, it's which is which is great most of

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.079
<v Speaker 1>the time. But when it came to the eighteen month

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>checkup and she said, you know it's it's probably fine,

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 1>just wait and see something told me like, I just

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>want to I want to advocate for him. I want

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>to take him to a specialist. What I found out though,

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and maybe other places have this too, but in our county,

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>in Westchester County and New York, they actually offer a free,

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>taxpayer funded early intervention program and you get access to

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>speech therapists, like ongoing therapy, evaluations, all that kind of stuff,

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>with excellent, you know resources right here in our county

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>that are completely free. So I did drop a couple

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.719
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks for a private session with a specialist just

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to get a you know, just to get a second

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>opinion because the county program. It took a little bit

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>for them to get back to me. But we're, I mean,

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we're at the very beginning. They all agree that he's

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>not speaking as they would expect for his age. He

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.679
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have very many words at all. But part of

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, what was like hard about reaching out for

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 1>help in that case. And this is maybe just sounds dumb,

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 1>but part of me like didn't want him to think

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I doubted him, So that makes sense, like, yeah, I

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>didn't want him to think, oh mommy, not that he

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>would even he doesn't even know what's going on, but

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Part of me just felt like reaching

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>out for help and getting him like tutoring or speech

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>therapy was like me doubting his own because I get it.

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>And what's helped me so much with my journey through

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>postpartum anxiety and depression has been really just giving in

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to him and giving into his own schedule, his own

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>way of doing things, his own way of and it's

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>just worked so beautifully. But I quickly have I not quickly,

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>but I've gotten over that. I'm like, it can't hurt

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 1>to get him into some kind of therapy. I just

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to talk to him.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. I've seen literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>if not thousands, of kids come through, and we've had kids.

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I've seen two year old girls and boys who are

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 2>just like Lisa. For example, my baby sister, she was

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>so verbal. The doctor was like wait what, but remember

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>she had four older chatty sisters who were like, what's

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the baby talk? Because I was ten, and I'm like, girl,

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 2>first of all, what did I say?

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 3>So Lisa she got basically and says some people are

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 3>raised up. She was dragged up.

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>And so that played a huge role in her ability

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.079
<v Speaker 2>to quickly get with the program because my mom, I

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 2>always said, like we raised Lisa.

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 3>She's like, I'm tired. This is number five. She belongs

0:13:58.960 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 3>to you.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Sure make sure she doesn't, you know, put her finger

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.559
<v Speaker 2>in the socket or like you know, eat, you know,

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>eat dirt.

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 3>That's those are those those are your parameters.

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>So but then you have, like I said, my cousin,

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, he they were really worried because he was

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>like five, and they were like, oh, okay, he doesn't

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't only say many words, and the words he's saying,

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>he's having a hard time.

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 3>And now literally I think he has two master's degrees.

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I need to tell these stories. Y'all send

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>us dms on Instagram, Prime Invention Podcast. I love, send

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>me all your stories because I cannot hear enough of them. Yeah,

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>can't hear enough.

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's just like, you know, and so I guess

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 3>some people literally there's just delay for whatever reason. It's

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 3>almost like have you ever seen kids who are really short.

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Even through high school, you kind of figure, well, you

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of this is your height, and then all of

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>a sudden they actually grow the inches in college because

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 2>some people have like a growth delay, especially boys, and

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 2>then their height doesn't come in until after eighteen, which

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>is not unheard of, but it seems so weird because

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, people really developed, you know, at their

0:14:59.640 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>own pace.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't mean that you don't keep an eye.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>On it, like you.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean you've met Roman, you see, like he's like

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the freaking boy genius. Carol was telling me she was

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 2>like girl at school, they were like, does Roman speak?

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, I wouldn't know because he doesn't talk

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 2>to me. I mean I was like really, She's like yeah, girl,

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>She's like I was like wait, cause she's like he

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>was my first so I didn't know when he was

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>supposed to start talking. She just thought I was normal

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 2>that he's like too and saying nothing. And it wasn't

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>until Amelia came his sister. Then all of a sudden

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:28.640
<v Speaker 2>he had a lot to say because he was telling

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>her where to go, what not to do.

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, she was.

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 2>She was really shocked, like wow, because you would think like, oh, well,

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>he's going to talk to mommy at home, and she

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 2>said literally like Roman said nothing. They were worried about him,

0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to get him evaluated, and he just was

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 2>mute with them. And she's like, he barely said anything

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>at home. And then Amelia came and all of a sudden,

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it was like stop, baby.

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Amelia, come here.

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 2>She's like why you are exactly like wait, and so

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I just all got to say that, like there are

0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>so many reasons it could be and and it almost

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 2>always fine.

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I know it'll end up fine. He's just so damn

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>smart and so observant like this this child. He was

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>begging to get for me to pick him up while

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I was making dinner the other day and I gave him.

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I dragged his little stool around and I was like, here,

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 1>watch mama make this squacamole.

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>He took. I was like, can you shake? Shake the

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 1>salt shaker over the over the bowl. He reached for

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a lemon witch and said, Mama, we need a little acidity.

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And he squeezed that lemon like he's been watching Ina

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Garten on his tablet and not Pepa the pig, Like

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>he just he's so smart and observant. And oh the

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>other big thing is that he started daycare. Okay, it's

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 1>been a week of daycare, so I'm really hopeful that

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>between daycare being around other kids, and then it's free.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's a free early intervention program, so I

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>think it's a wonderful resource. I pay taxes, let me

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>get some of this, you know, stuff that we pay for.

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's where I'm at. Anyway, you're back, what

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>else has been going on? I'm a I'm a business owner.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna say, so, how does that be?

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I know we had our our you know,

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 2>our our daytime two hour chat, and I was so

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 2>excited for you. And I told you and anybody who's

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.719
<v Speaker 2>a business owner or thinking about being one, but if

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you've been in the game for at least two plus

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>years or so, they everyone will all agree. Nothing grows

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you up, Manny, I'm telling you will be a brand

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 2>new woman. I'm not even I'm like the timpany from

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:24.680
<v Speaker 2>ten years ago.

0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, who is she? She's like my daughter?

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Like, nothing grows you up? I think like motherhood, I'm

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 2>assuming and starting a business. It's what it pulls out

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 2>of you. There's this uh what is his name is?

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Jim Ron? Remember I was telling me about Jim Roon.

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's passed away, but he was like a

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 2>really famous, like motivational speaker.

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Yes.

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:45.919
<v Speaker 3>One of the things he said to one of his.

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Mentees is he said, I think you ought to, you know,

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>start a business and become a millionaire.

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 3>And he was like why. He said, not for the money,

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 3>but for what it will make of you. And that's

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.439
<v Speaker 3>exactly what it is for entrepreneurship. What it will make

0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 3>of you.

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>You is just going to pull out the very best

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>of you. It's going to challenge you in ways you

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 2>didn't even think it possible. You're going to become like

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you're gotta feel like superwoman, Like how did I do this?

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 2>So I'm excited for your journey. How are you feeling

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 2>about it?

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 1>You know when you were talking about Chip and Joanna

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>doing ninety percent of the work and then they got

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the TV show. I think the past six weeks or

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 1>how long has it been, like a little over a

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 1>month that I have been Mandy Money Media LLC. Since

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I launched my business, it has been the most exciting,

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't know, the most exciting, invigorating, affirming experience

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.400
<v Speaker 1>that I've ever had. I mean it, just the work

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>has been flooding Tiffany, like I am busy, like people

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>want to work with me, and I've realized that it's

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>not like when I start I started a business that

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I was starting from scratch. I have a decade long

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 1>career in media and in reporting and in content, and

0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been an entrepreneur where we launched Brown Ambition.

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I was.

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I was a nine to five entrepreneur when we launched

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 1>Brown Ambition. And for me, it's just been I feel

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel excited. I feel kind of like, man, I

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.359
<v Speaker 1>really I can't wait to see what happens to her

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>as in me, like I can't wait to see where

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>she goes. I feel this, I feel this new sense

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of drive and purpose and this and it just feels

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>so it feels so right. It's just like I'm exactly

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 1>where I need to be. I'm so proud of the

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>work that I've done so far for other companies and

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>for all the amazing people that I've worked with. I'm

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>so grateful for those opportunities, some of them I'm still

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>working with now. You know, either as a consultant or

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.480
<v Speaker 1>as a freelancer, and that's also wonderful, and I just

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm so grateful for all that experience and I am

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>beyond ready for this new chapter. So y'all can find

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.120
<v Speaker 1>me on TikTok. Yes, I have been leaning into TikTok.

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm figuring it out, like you can find me at

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Mandy Money on TikTok and and everywhere else. And you

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 1>know my real focus. And and look, Tiffany, if you

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 1>had listened to the show months ago, you might have

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>heard a very different tune from me talking about where

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I was at in my career at that time. And

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I have been getting messages from some listeners wanting to know,

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, what happened. This is a big change. I

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.480
<v Speaker 1>just want to let you guys know that I've really

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 1>had this moment of aha when it came to what

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do and what I wanted to contribute

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to the world, and I really realized that what I

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>want to contribute it can't be contained working for any

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>one place. That was the right decision for me, and

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 1>so I started my own business just to really be

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a complete control of what work I'm doing and what

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, what I'm saying my own voice, and that

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>has been such a positive impact on me. On top

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of that, have you guys heard of Brown Ambition, Like

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I plan, I really do plan to take the other

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, fifty percent of my time or more and

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.160
<v Speaker 1>really focus on continuing to build and grow our Brown

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Ambition audience. So you guys will be seeing a newsletter

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 1>from us, you may be seeing some live events from

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.360
<v Speaker 1>us in the future. I'm going to have so much

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>more bandwidth and I never could, you know, give to

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Brown Ambition now that I'm on my own and in

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 1>complete control of my schedule and I'm not trying to

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 1>like flex here. What I'm trying to do is just

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>explain to people what can happen when you I don't

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>know if you had this experience too, but when you go,

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 1>when you go solo, you the the possibility like there

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 1>is no limit to your earning.

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm a girl, I'm I'm I'm not moving over

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 2>the chair, like, come six to me. I don't told

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.920
<v Speaker 2>you girl, it's good open. Well, it's hard, it's hard,

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 2>very wrong. But I took my six week break so

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't die.

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>But right that's where I want to be careful because

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I am all about like solopreneurship and doing my own

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.800
<v Speaker 1>thing now. But I had an amazing career and and

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 1>this is the story that I'm trying to tell right now,

0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>is right when I started to launch my business, who

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 1>did I call first, Helen? My financial planner? You know Helen?

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 1>You guys have known prapped on the film with her,

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.639
<v Speaker 1>and I said, Helen, and my husband too. I was like,

0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I kind of want to go independent. What

0:21:58.040 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>do you think? And she said, Mandy, let me show

0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you something. And she pulled up a spreadsheet with our

0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.440
<v Speaker 1>finances up on the screen. Over the past five years

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that she and I have been working together, I have

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.920
<v Speaker 1>ten exed my net worth from seventy K to seven

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred K in less than five years. She said, Mandy,

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine, And that

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 1>was really, you know, And I did that because I worked,

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>and I had a career, and I had, you know,

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>standard nine to five jobs, and for a bunch of

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>other reasons that you know. I'm working on telling those stories.

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 1>But I say all that to tell people that there

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.399
<v Speaker 1>is no one right path. It's not like entrepreneurship is

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 1>some key to unlocking you know, millions and millions of dollars.

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 1>But it is the chapter that I'm starting right now.

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, ten years working for amazing companies did not

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>do me wrong. I have built an incredible life and

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I've learned so so much. But yeah, I'm I'm, I'm

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 1>really freaking excited for the next chapter.

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 3>And oh, I can't wait to talk more business with you.

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.159
<v Speaker 2>One of the things I wreck I realized, like on

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 2>my time away, of how much I actually enjoy like

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.360
<v Speaker 2>mentoring and talking to people about business because I used

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>to be like, well, I'm not an expert, and I'm not,

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 2>but I'm someone who is doing it, who has seen

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.479
<v Speaker 2>so many ups and downs. It's like year I mean,

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I started the business, started taking it seriously twenty ten,

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 2>so it's been eleven years.

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 3>But technically, really it's been thirteen.

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, the first two years I was still teaching preschool,

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:25.639
<v Speaker 2>so I really wasn't doing a bunch ofista.

0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 3>So really like eleven like real years, and you know, y'all.

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Know that last year we hit the our first eight

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:36.399
<v Speaker 2>eight figure year of just over ten million dollars in business.

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>And so I've seen so many things and I'll say

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 2>this was what I wish I would have known. And

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 2>this is for anyone listening. What I have found is

0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 2>that when you're on the right path, and you're you know,

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>you're trying something new, but it's the path you're supposed

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>to be on the beginning, you get a I don't

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>want to say, like a lucky strike. You get a

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of grace is given to you in the beginning

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 2>because it's meant to say, you're on the right path,

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>don't give up right here, right here. But and I,

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and like so many of us, make the mistake of

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:08.960
<v Speaker 2>thinking this is how it be.

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 3>It's not.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.120
<v Speaker 1>But so meaning, are you about to burst my honeymoon period?

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 3>No, but look for this honeymoon period.

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>I want you to lean in and get as much

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:21.440
<v Speaker 2>as basically, like you know, you've gotten what are those

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.119
<v Speaker 2>things called when they let you go first, like a

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 2>like a like a golf or whatever they give you,

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 2>like a what does that thing call on golf when

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 2>they give it me, or like extra points or like

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, you get to you get to if you're

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>a squirrel, they let you into the park first before

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.199
<v Speaker 2>anybody else, you know, and then you know, so basically

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 2>this is a really great time because it's one, this

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 2>is a it's a clear indication that you're on the

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 2>right path because of how things have been flowing. And

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 2>two it means that lean in really hard, gain as

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>much as you can now because the challenges will come,

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.879
<v Speaker 2>but they'll come because you've gotten good. Like I was

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 2>talking to Tracy and my sister, you know, she's my publicist,

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>and she's amazing, okay, but she just her business leelling

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>what she's notty six figures her first year and she

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>was telling me how like, you know, because now she's

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 2>having her because she had her you know, her initial

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 2>boost where it was okay, flowing. Now there's challenges And

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 2>she said, what am I doing wrong? I'm like, girl,

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>it's called business. And I said, she said, doesn't get easier.

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I said, no, it actually gets harder, but you get better.

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.639
<v Speaker 2>And so that's what will happen, is that you know,

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 2>initially you'll have this honeymoon phase and period. It might

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 2>last six months of that last year might last longer,

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 2>and then you will meet with challenges because you're growing

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:37.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's just growing pains. And one of the one

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of the huge takeaways that I got from reading Joanna

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 2>said something specific that she learned from Chip, But it

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.520
<v Speaker 2>was read all the success stories I was reading in

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 2>these biographies or memoirs. It was repeated over and over,

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 2>just with different legers. But I felt like she said

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 2>it best when she first met Chip. I mean, I

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 2>don't I think you could tell if you guys watch

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Fix Her Upper reruns or whatever you watched it before,

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 2>you could tell that Joe, it's kind of like the

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 2>safety girl, you know, Like, I don't think that's such

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 2>a good idea. She's the She's the Chucky to Chips Tommy,

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 2>if you will, if you watch rug Grats, like, she's

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the little like I air on the cautious side, which

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 2>is my nature and the nature of many women. And

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.640
<v Speaker 2>what she found that that Chip was the opposite. Chip

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:20.399
<v Speaker 2>was like, let's jump out the window and hope our

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 2>parachute opens up. And he would make decisions that would

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>put them in like financial peril every it seemed like

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 2>every few months. And she said in the beginning, just

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 2>when she said they felt she felt they got their

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 2>footing whatever new project that he had come up with, because.

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 3>He wouldn't tell her, he'd be like surprised, I'm on

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a houseboat. We're in def for three hundred thousand dollars.

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 2>What's you think?

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 3>She said.

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Every few months she would find herself bawling and be

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 2>like Chip, why, and she was like, you know, but

0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 2>then they would figure it out, and they would grow

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to the next level.

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:53.879
<v Speaker 3>Figure it out and grow to the next level. And

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 3>she said she realized that Chip was.

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Always going to be Chip, and that she had to

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 2>learn to increase her capacity for challenges, increase her capacity

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 2>for failure. You have to learn to increase your capacity,

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:11.919
<v Speaker 2>because what will happen is it's very easy to stay safe,

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 2>but if you want to be great, you're going to

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:15.639
<v Speaker 2>have to accept that this thing.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Might not work.

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 2>You might fail in spectacular fashion, or it might work

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>in a way that you never imagine. You don't get

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 2>to seven then figures and eight figures and maybe even

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>nine figures or more one day without expanding you know

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 2>what you're capable of and jumping forward and failing and

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 2>so like, yeah, I just give you that advice that like,

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, right now things are really great because they

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 2>ought to be, because you are now reaping what you've

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.879
<v Speaker 2>sown over the last ten years. But now you are

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.680
<v Speaker 2>also simultaneously sowing what you will reap in the next

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 2>ten So just keep that in mind. But I'm super

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>excited for you.

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:54.160

<v Speaker 2>So I have an idea for a company, and and

0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna keep it light from now. But but it's

0:29:55.600 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>really it's nothing like you know, like crazy. I don't

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 2>have like I'm not curing cancer. But I have an

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 2>idea for like a company that will really help you guys,

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 2>like find the tools and resources you need more easily.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 2>And so I've been thinking about this for a while.

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And then right before I left, literally the day before

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I left, I saw that somebody was selling their company

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and they had a girl. I didn't even tell you why,

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Remember I told you they had two hundred thousand followers

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 2>on Insta, Girl, why didn't I come back?

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 3>They have two seventy now, yes, so they knew they did.

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 2>They have a huge Instagram. We have five hundred thousand

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a budget lista, but two seventy is huge. And then

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 2>they have Twitter and Instagram and they have they have

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 2>a Facebook group.

0:30:34.240 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 3>They have all these resources.

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 2>And the gentleman that was selling it's a financial company

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 2>specifically for black millennials. And the guy who was selling it,

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I he posted in my my black marketing group and

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yo, I'm interested in learning more.

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 3>And he was like, oh my god, I'm fan boiling boying.

0:30:49.640 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 3>It's utivity. You're like the perfect person to buy. I

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 3>hope you buy. I hope you buy it.

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 2>So me and Maddy were talking about it with I

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 2>was sharing with her that all the resources the company

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 2>came with, and she was like, girl, my friend bought

0:30:59.560 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 2>a company.

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Of course it's the same, but those people wanted like

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars, and so we did not pay a

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 2>million dollars, not even close.

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 3>I just can't believe we were able to close the deal.

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Literally, right before I left, I told my COO, here's

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>the max, Like, you know, I authorized you to negotiate

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 2>with him, and we were able to get it to

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 2>a price where it's like, wait, what it was, Yeah,

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the cost of like a really really really lavish vacation,

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 2>which think about that, that's not much at all. But

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 2>he just was really happy to sell to someone who

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 2>was going to not I'm not going to keep his

0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>particular company going, but instead we're going to transform it

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 2>to the company that I already had in mind. So

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 2>now we don't have to start from scratch, we can

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>start from a higher playing field. So I'm just really

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:48.600
<v Speaker 2>really excited because something like a vision that has been

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 2>coming to me over and over, Like I had a

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 2>vision for like Get Go of Money came true New

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 2>York Times bestseller is selling really well. I had a

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 2>vision for a one wee budget like ten thirteen years

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 2>ago now ride I wrote it, I said, it said

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to me that, like, You're going to be a millionaire because.

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Of this book. I assumed I'd sell enough books to

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 3>become a millionaire.

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 2>That did not happen, but it sparked a budgetista, Like,

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 2>so all of my visions honestly have come true.

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Like I put on my vision board, like you know,

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 3>sometimes you just get a feeling.

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>And lately, this feeling that's been coming up is that

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to sell a company for over fifty million dollars.

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that crazy? It's like a stubborn doing it, Tiffany.

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's like this, like stubborn, like it's happening. I

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 2>need you to get ready, and I'm like what. And

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 2>so it's just been this stubborn vision that I just can't.

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Every day it pops up in my head and so

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe me. I don't know the first thing

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>about how to do. So well, that's not true.

0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 3>I thought I didn't know the first thing. But I was.

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I take walks every day now, and something popped into

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>my head when I was listening to one of my books,

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:49.680
<v Speaker 2>and it was like, well, the first thing would be

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe to find somebody who sold companies.

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like, oh yeah, and just ask questions.

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.800
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, remember, you work for Magnify Money and Nick,

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 2>who's like the coolest, sold Magnifi money to lending.

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Tree, right, yes, I was part of that sale.

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 2>So you know, like, hey, maybe I'll get up Nick

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 2>and say hey, how'd that go? And then I know

0:33:11.720 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 2>other people who sold companies, and so that's my first

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 2>order of business. So I'm going to share kind of

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 2>like that process with y'allcause I'm literally starting from scratch.

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I don't know how to sell a company.

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I've never done it before.

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we've brought one.

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, So I'm excited about that because I want

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 2>to be in a place and space where I am

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 2>truly working. You know, not that I say I couldn't

0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 2>retire now, but I could, but I want to retire

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 2>in a way that like, I'm not just retiring myself mentally, but.

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I know, like my kids, kids' kids.

0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:43.080
<v Speaker 2>So I want to work from a space where I'm

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 2>literally saying no to everything except for the things I

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 2>really enjoy because I'm not working, you know, to think

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 2>about money.

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:50.560
<v Speaker 3>And I don't worry.

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:52.400
<v Speaker 2>About money anymore, but it's still on my mind and

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 2>I would love to be able to say no. Plus too,

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to be able to do a profit share

0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with my team because they have put so much work

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to be able to. I mean, I don't know, depending

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 2>how much the company sells for, it might retire some

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 2>folks at the very least pay off some high student

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 2>loan debts and reset your life. So I'm really excited

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 2>about what that kind of money can do for not

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 2>only my family, but for my Unicorn Squad family. I

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>want to build a hospital like for my DreamCatcher family,

0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:24.280
<v Speaker 2>for my BA family. I'm really excited about because that's coming.

0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:26.200
<v Speaker 2>It could be in ten, fifteen years, it could be

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 2>in five months, it could be in five years. I

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but I do know that that's coming. So

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited about that.

0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you've just given like the I don't know,

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 1>commencement address that we all needed for the summer, for

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the the for the year, for this year to come,

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.759
<v Speaker 1>this new new year. What it feels like post pandemic, Well,

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to well. I mean, I don't want

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to ever go to your hospital because I don't want

0:34:50.480 --> 0:34:52.799
<v Speaker 1>to be sick, but I would love to talk about

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:55.720
<v Speaker 1>your hospital in the future. And I mean, the bigger

0:34:55.760 --> 0:34:57.640
<v Speaker 1>you dream it just makes every it makes me, It

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 1>makes everyone listening just feel like anything is possible that

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you can dream up. And no, I don't think fifty

0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>million poles fifty billion, that would be a stretchful for you.

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 2>You'll be I.

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 1>So my I'm gonna do I'm gonna do a Brown break,

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>just a balance out. There's way too much just you know,

0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 1>levity and awesomeness in black girl magic happening right now.

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:20.160
<v Speaker 1>So let's take it down a notch. Have you heard

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:24.200
<v Speaker 1>about Wendy Williams going off on this woman. I don't

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>even think she knows this. This actress named Tabitha Brown,

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 1>who I don't know if she shared a video on

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 1>social media or wrote an article, but she was celebrating

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the fact that she has now become so successful that

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.839
<v Speaker 1>she has been able to retire her husband Chance from

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:44.800
<v Speaker 1>his job as a Los Angeles police officer. And Wendy Williams,

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 1>who she is. I mean, Wendy Williams is like a

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:49.759
<v Speaker 1>character unto herself. I'm not going to pretend that I

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:51.880
<v Speaker 1>watch her show every day because.

0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:52.720
<v Speaker 3>She's a professional troll.

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:57.479
<v Speaker 1>She's she's special, Okay. And she went on her show

0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and went off about Tabitha and basically projected the failure

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of her own marriage. You know, she had like a

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:06.760
<v Speaker 1>very public divorce, basically saying that this is the worst

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>thing that Tabitha could have done, that it's going to

0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 1>ruin her relationship, and that it would end up just

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 1>going down in flames, and I cringe so hard because,

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>for one thing, it's nothing to be ashamed of for

0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a man to leave his job and to be quote

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>unquote retired by a wife. I think that should be celebrated.

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's also like, why would you you don't know

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>anything about this woman, Why would you project your own

0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 1>failure onto her when ultimately it's up to ours, It's

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 1>up to us, you know how our relationships work out,

0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and you never know what's going on in anybody's marriage.

0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's absolutely beautiful that in order to it's

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:49.839
<v Speaker 1>not even about repaying him for what he gave her,

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:52.440
<v Speaker 1>but if you actually listen to the story, you know

0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:55.359
<v Speaker 1>clearly he supported her in her career for a long

0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 1>long like years, many years, maybe even decades of time together,

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and he has his own passions to pursue. And she

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:06.560
<v Speaker 1>was saying, listen, we are good. You can let you

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 1>can let go of this job that you've kept for security,

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 1>for the security of this family, and you were able

0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to pursue your passions in career. I'm like, what could

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:16.759
<v Speaker 1>be what's more beautiful than that in our partnership?

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:19.279
<v Speaker 2>What Because you know, Wendy is so so like I

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:21.320
<v Speaker 2>for the six weeks, I wasn't on social but I

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:22.800
<v Speaker 2>think my friend told me about it, so like I

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 2>googled it and I saw, like, you know, Wendy saying

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>what she said and so back because you know, I

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 2>love teeth. So background on Wendy's marriage. She her husband Kevin,

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 2>has been trashed for a long time. Like I remember

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 2>when Wendy was like for those you especially on the

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:39.960
<v Speaker 2>East Coast, child, Wendy was like we all listened to

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Wendy on the radio show on radio, she was captivating

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and her husband was trashed.

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Then she had written this book called Wendy's.

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Got the Heat where her son, who is now twenty,

0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:50.880
<v Speaker 2>her husband cheated on her while she was pregnant, even

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:52.879
<v Speaker 2>though they had a hard time getting pregnant. So he's

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:55.440
<v Speaker 2>been trashed and you know, just not a really nice

0:37:55.480 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 2>guy and there's been allegations of physical abuse and things.

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:02.160
<v Speaker 2>And so just a few years ago, I don't know

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 2>who Wendy pissed off at the Daily Mail because I

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:06.439
<v Speaker 2>thought the Daily Mail was out of like the UK,

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 2>But they did a one year long expose that they

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:13.759
<v Speaker 2>had been study they had been following Wendy's husband he

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 2>had a whole other woman that he brought a house

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:18.160
<v Speaker 2>for like three like in the same neighborhood as his

0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:21.760
<v Speaker 2>house with Wendy car for and they had a child.

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Literally he was but basically married to two women. And

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 2>so when the xpose came out, that's why Wendy ended.

0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Up divorcing him. I don't believe she really wanted to.

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 2>But when the whole world knew like what he also

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 2>has like a whole nother wife what, it was really

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.200
<v Speaker 2>embarrassing for her. And she actually because Wendy used to

0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:42.480
<v Speaker 2>well I don't know, she's still she was an addict,

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and so she actually ended up being hospitalized. She she

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 2>took it really hard, so to be kind in that respect,

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know you know Wendy or like

0:38:51.520 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 2>what she's going through, but I guess she attributes what

0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:58.480
<v Speaker 2>happened to her marriage because she, you know, was the

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:01.360
<v Speaker 2>main breadwinner in you know, her family.

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:03.360
<v Speaker 3>But from when I understand he did actually manage her.

0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:06.239
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know, but Tad did what they call

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:10.399
<v Speaker 2>a sanctified read a read honey, but let me tell

0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you something, don't.

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Be fooled by ms.

0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Tad was like, let me gather you together real quick

0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:17.520
<v Speaker 2>under the name of Jesus.

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Okay, she read Wendy for filth. She said, Wendy, I

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:26.840
<v Speaker 3>know you so hurt. Girl. I pray that you have

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.319
<v Speaker 3>a marriage, that somebody loves you enough.

0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Basically, she was basically saying, girl, don't be mad because

0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:33.759
<v Speaker 2>he don't want you. But she ain't say it like that,

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 2>but it was like, honestly, it was really beautiful. But

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 2>it was definitely a sanctified read. And Tad explained, which

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.759
<v Speaker 2>she didn't have to. But you know, I'm glad that,

0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, for the larger audience, and you know, people

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:45.840
<v Speaker 2>get a better understanding.

0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:46.399
<v Speaker 3>She said.

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 2>When they first I don't know where they're from. She's

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.400
<v Speaker 2>from down south somewhere. But when they first moved to

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles. She's always wanted to be an actress. And

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 2>she told her husband, if you allow me, I just

0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:58.799
<v Speaker 2>give me five years. I want to quit my job

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and just do try this acting. Think please, five years

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's all I need. If it doesn't work out,

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll get a job and we just you know, we

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:10.920
<v Speaker 2>just both working. He said, okay, girl. Fifteen years later,

0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:14.080
<v Speaker 2>this man she had not found anything, but she was.

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.239
<v Speaker 2>He held up that agreement. I will take care of

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the family. You try your dream, She said, what would

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I look like after fifteen years? He held, you know,

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:26.840
<v Speaker 2>there were things he wanted to do and couldn't. He

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 2>put his life on the line as as a Los

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Angeles police officer for fifteen years so she could pursue

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:35.800
<v Speaker 2>her dreams and it finally worked. Of course, she was like, babe,

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you to put your life on the

0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:39.359
<v Speaker 2>line anymore. Every day could be the day he doesn't

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:41.520
<v Speaker 2>come back. And she said that, so I thought it

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 2>was absolutely beautiful. He already coaches kids, apparently, and he

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 2>has a nonprofit that he hasn't been able to dedicate

0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:50.520
<v Speaker 2>as much time too, and now he can do that

0:40:50.680 --> 0:40:53.359
<v Speaker 2>and coach even more kids. He seems like an amazing man.

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Ivy.

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.960
<v Speaker 2>They've been married for like twenty three years, so you know,

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.320
<v Speaker 2>she's like, girl, we have been through. She's like, me

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:01.479
<v Speaker 2>and my husband have together and we was broke, broke, broke,

0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:03.799
<v Speaker 2>she said, we've been broke longer than we've had money.

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:05.320
<v Speaker 2>We only had money in the last year or so.

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 2>So we good, Wendy, don't worry about us. And so

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:09.719
<v Speaker 2>I just want to give some backstory.

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, thank you for that. I thought I was breaking

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 1>news for you coming at I'm like, I'm gonna tell

0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Tiffany what's been happening on these year internets since she's

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:20.960
<v Speaker 1>been gone. Meanwhile, you told me more than I anyway,

0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Just stop showing me up. I gotta bring my hay

0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>game anyway. No, but let me just like this is

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.960
<v Speaker 1>this is what Tiffany and I. Maybe you agree, but

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:33.280
<v Speaker 1>my marriage would not work if there were two Mandy's.

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 1>It would go down in flames. I'm talking about it.

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Off the rails. I am Chip. When you talked about

0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Chip and Joanna, I am Chip. Okay, I am like, uh,

0:41:43.239 --> 0:41:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna quit this really well paying job and I'm

0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask this company to pay me twice as much

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>salary plus a sign on bonus. I'm just gonna go

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 1>for Okay. Could be cool with that, babe, Okay? Sure?

0:41:51.719 --> 0:41:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Like he's My husband has always been very stable, very steady.

0:41:56.200 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, he works for the government, he has his pension.

0:41:59.080 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's just he's got the healthcare. I couldn't

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:04.240
<v Speaker 1>do what I'm doing now. He has given me the freedom,

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.040
<v Speaker 1>he's given me trust, and he's given me the space

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:09.279
<v Speaker 1>that I need to just figure my shit out. And

0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:11.520
<v Speaker 1>he is providing healthcare, and I don't want to be

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to even try to pretend like I

0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:17.279
<v Speaker 1>am paying for health care right now. We are very

0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 1>fortunate to have his healthcare in this country right now.

0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>In the US, it is hard to start a business

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and go out on your own unless you have a

0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 1>partner you can provide health care. So let's not get

0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that twisted. Yes, and you've talked about that with Superman

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:31.160
<v Speaker 1>as well, so please, but you.

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Why don't I always say, like my husban's always an

0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 2>old bab. I'm like, are you serious, sir? You know

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:40.080
<v Speaker 2>we do IVF right, We have probably spent at minimum

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 2>three hundred thousand dollars is what would have cost us

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to do as many rounds of IVF.

0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:47.160
<v Speaker 3>If I've done, I have paid ten dollars of copay.

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Ten dollars. And I'm just like, yo, his you know, like, well,

0:42:52.560 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 2>because my husband still works with what he brings to

0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:59.839
<v Speaker 2>the table, Like it's just the stability, the safe place,

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the land, you know, the but like and the healthcare shoe.

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not gonna lie. Until we got married, it

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 2>was yoga and water and I was like, please, Lord,

0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:14.680
<v Speaker 2>don't let me get sick for real, for real, I mean, so,

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:16.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I commend anybody who's going out there doing

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, who's entrepreneur on their own. I know, the

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 2>first probably six or seven years of my entrepreneur journey

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 2>was without without insurance.

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 3>And it's scary, you.

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Know, and so absolutely you know, so yeah, I just so,

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I just say all that to say that my husband

0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:34.479
<v Speaker 2>and I told them when we were getting together. I said,

0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:39.400
<v Speaker 2>let's make a rule that we we follow our own rules,

0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 2>like if you know, like if you want to cook.

0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:44.920
<v Speaker 3>And I don't, that's our rule.

0:43:45.280 --> 0:43:48.280
<v Speaker 2>The outside world doesn't get to say no sisters, no brothers,

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:49.240
<v Speaker 2>no moms, no dads.

0:43:49.520 --> 0:43:50.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, we don't have to share with them.

0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:52.440
<v Speaker 2>They're like, oh, you know, secretly, this is how we

0:43:52.560 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 2>do things because if it works for us, let it

0:43:55.640 --> 0:43:57.319
<v Speaker 2>work for us, because people will have you feel bad

0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:59.360
<v Speaker 2>because I used to travel a lot, and when we

0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 2>got married, his friends while you're still letting your wife travel.

0:44:02.040 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 3>I was like, what, I we were traveling when I

0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:06.960
<v Speaker 3>when we were dating, and so he was like, I

0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:08.600
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I feel comfortable. I'm like, babe, we

0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:12.200
<v Speaker 3>dated for you know, like three years and I traveled

0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:15.360
<v Speaker 3>way more. Don't let those people get in your head, Okay,

0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:22.200
<v Speaker 3>because guess what, I'm still getting on the plane. So yeah, exactly,

0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 3>so you know.

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So if you have a relationship, whatever works for you,

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:26.960
<v Speaker 2>it's what works for you.

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 3>There is no there's no society norms that you have

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 3>to adhere to.

0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:33.320
<v Speaker 2>You. You really get to decide what your relationship looks like,

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's best to keep most things to yourself. Like

0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 2>if you notice, I don't post Superman like like I

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 2>used to, Like I used to do this whole thing

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:42.640
<v Speaker 2>about Superman and Supergirl, and you no, I don't do

0:44:42.719 --> 0:44:45.920
<v Speaker 2>that as much anymore, just because I never got any

0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:48.120
<v Speaker 2>negative feedback. But as I get you know, as I

0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:50.040
<v Speaker 2>get older, I just realized I just want, you know,

0:44:50.200 --> 0:44:53.759
<v Speaker 2>some things for us us, and I also too don't

0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>want to because social media can be toxic. I think

0:44:58.000 --> 0:45:01.320
<v Speaker 2>we all know that, and s Week's all social media.

0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize just how toxic it could be when

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I started to just feel better, Like social media will

0:45:07.960 --> 0:45:10.719
<v Speaker 2>literally have you feeling bad about a good life, and

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, let me not throw like my relationship into

0:45:15.360 --> 0:45:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the stinky stew of social media.

0:45:18.120 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm just lived that for yourselves. I completely agree.

0:45:20.640 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So shout out to Tab I'm recalling I I can

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:25.320
<v Speaker 1>call her Tab too. Shout out to Tab at the

0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Brown for reading. Wendy Williams. Wendy Williams, please sit down,

0:45:30.239 --> 0:45:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, work on whatever you know. I agree you

0:45:32.920 --> 0:45:35.240
<v Speaker 1>feel pain if you're protecting that onto someone else's marriage.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But we only know the story that we are writing ourselves.

0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 1>We cannot expect anyone else to understand it. So I mean,

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I could meant anyone for sharing. And we do a

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:45.440
<v Speaker 1>lot in our show. We share a lot about ourselves,

0:45:45.480 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and that does that does open us up to critique

0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and to questioning, and that's the choice that we've made.

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:55.040
<v Speaker 1>But I will say emphatically, I could not be the

0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 1>success that I am financially, career wise, anything. And who

0:45:58.080 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 1>knows where I'll be without my husband and his job,

0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:04.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the in the stability, and his faith

0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in me and his support and his little shrug and

0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a sigh like Okay, I guess we're doing this now,

0:46:15.400 --> 0:46:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. That's that's all I need. A shrug and

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.920
<v Speaker 1>a sigh, you know what I mean? All Right, Well,
