0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a doozy for me. Okay, So, a couple

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:51.279
<v Speaker 1>of weeks ago, we had a dietitian I believe that

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>was we were talking to. Her name was what's her

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>name to the trainer trainer, but yes, we're talking about

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>nutrition with yes, And she said, asparagus it's great to eat, okay, um,

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>it helps you lose weight, it tastes good. Just put

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>in an oven like for like fifteen twenty minutes and

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>roasted up and you're gonna be like feeling like a

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>million bucks. And I was like, you know what, I

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was sick of kale because I've been a kale girl

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>for like ten years. Kale, I'm done with you. Broccoli,

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm done with you. Two because Brocoli, you give me gas. Okay,

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>so um Carly our director of operations, she said, but

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you know that asparagus makes your um piasting God, and

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe you didn't know that. Well I did

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>know that, but to what degree I did not know.

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So I went out of town with my kids last

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 1>weekend and there was a whole lot that went down

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>with the with our room that I had. I had

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>booked a Sweet I'm in Tallahassee, by the way, I

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>had booked the Sweet, but this hotel I don't know

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>guests through that reservation in trash can. So we ended

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>up in like this little small room. But whatever, We're

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>only there for yeah, maybe maybe another episode. That would

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>be my shady moment. So I went to go eat

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and my kids were like, Mom, you have funked up

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the whole room. Were you farting? What did you doing there?

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god? And I was like, oh my god.

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>My piece stinks. I mean like stink stinks, like horribly stinks.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>So long story short, asparagus, you are shady. You are shady,

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>okay shady? So are you no longer eating it? Now?

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>So this is the deal, guys, I actually really love it,

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna eat it, but not as much as before, okay,

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>or just eat it when you're like when you know

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to be peeing around other people? Right,

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>when does that happen? Like you're at home, like eating

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>for dinner and you're using your own private that's true,

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that's true, very true. So so if I'm if this,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 1>but this would make any guy run away from me.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>So if if there's any dayting going on, then asparagus,

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I cannot eat asparacus. You're shady. I want everybody to

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>be clear on that. But I don't want anyone to

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>like not eat asparacus because it's really good for you.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I know exactly. So you know, just if you're if

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you're around a guy or whatever, just give them the disclaimer. Okay,

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>my piece stinks, yes, because I'm being healthy because I'm

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>being okay, Okay, I didn't fart, I didn't go number two,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>it's just my pe Okay, got it because of its

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 1>serious right, Yes, that's it. Okay, that's it. Now do

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you have a shady moment? I mean I just have

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>a frustrating moment. So you know, we moved in a

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>new house. The first thing my kids want is a

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>basketball court. Not just my kids, but my husband wanted

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to So it's like, we have to have a basketball court.

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>And I was ready to like put this basketball court

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>in and something told me this was literally yesterday something

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and we're scheduled. Actually they're out there doing the court now.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Something told me, Um, why don't you talk to the

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>builder to make sure, like, you know, there's no issues

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>with putting this basketball court in long story short, I

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>mean it's actually like, you know, a little silver lining.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Um if we if I had gone with my original plan, yeah,

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have been in trouble with the county. I

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>would have been like building the court on on in

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>an area for like a utility easement, a ten foot

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>utility easement. So I had to reduce the size of

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>our basketball court by ten feet. So is it a

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>half court? It was always a half court, but it

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>was literally going to be like a court, a whole

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>half court that would allow them allow them to like

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>shoot three pointers from every spot on the court, from

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the corners, from the top of the wings, whatever. Now

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we have to reduce it by ten feet, so they

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>can't get their corner three point shots. So they just

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>they just have a file line. They shoot, come to

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>file so they're shooting from like what kind of corner,

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about it's still in this this thing and I

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>have to care my son, Corey, well this why why

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>can't you do this? And why why why and just

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>do it and bub and I'm like no because if

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>some and I'm like want, I mean not want, Corey,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>if someone from the county comes back here and sees

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that this court is on top of this easement that's

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be here, like they can literally find me

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and tell us to dig it up. And he's like, well,

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>so what just paid a fine boy? Get little boys? Exactly?

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>He needs to get a little boys. So our dreams

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of having this amazing full half court basketball have been shattered. Well, clearly, Robbing,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you're part of the wrong family, and we're going to

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>talk to the right family today as it relates to basketball. Okay,

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we have a guest with us and her name is

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll let you introduce her Robina. So our guest today

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>is none other than the beautiful Saddel Curry Lee. Um.

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of you might know Sadel because she belongs

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to a very prestigious basketball family. Okay, Her father is

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Dell Curry. He played sixteen years in the league. Her

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>brother is the amazing Stephen Curry UM. Her other brother

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>who plays for the Golden State Warriors. Her younger well,

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess middle brother is Seth Curry, who plays for

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the seventy sixers. She is also married to Damien Lee,

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>who plays for the Golden State Warriors. I mean, I

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>thought I thought I had basketball all around me. But

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>so anyway, but we're talking to Saddel not only because

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>she's you know, amazing and beautiful, um, because she's a

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>beautiful content creator. She also has a podcast but her

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>UM her focus is mental space mental health. So I'm

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna read her bio and introduce her in the mental

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>health before I talk about Saddell. The mental health topic

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>UM that we recently discussed got such a positive response.

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean I saw emails where people said, I just

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>made an appointment because of you all. So people are

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>making appointments to talk to mental health professionals because of

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>the of the episode that we did with Meriga UM

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know, people who said thank you, I was

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in a really dark place. Um. My cousin told me

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it was the best one yet. So yes, you know

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>when your family has given out compliments because those don't

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>come very easily. So anyway, um but said Though Saddel

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.720

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>own mental health for several years, Saddel aims to de

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>stigmatize the discussion around mental health and offer firsthand advice

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.400

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>well as things we can do to improve our mental

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.720

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Our first episode was May nineteen, two thousand twenty one.

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.599
<v Speaker 1>And when coming up when I'm sorry, that's around the

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>same time we started. So we are podcast movie? Yes? Yes? Um?

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And when I was trying to figure out a name

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>or a title for it, because I wanted to health

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>to be just like a normal thing. And I think

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>because life just shows that should happen like stuff happens

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 1>in life, and it's it's gonna throw you curve balls,

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and so it should not be a thing where everyone

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>should be isolated or just surprised by it because life

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.959
<v Speaker 1>is hard and what that brings mental health challenges. I

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like everyone has been to health challenges, whether or

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>on a high level or a low level. You're gonna

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 1>go through something in your life that's gonna bring you

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>anxiety or some sort of like tension that's hard to

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>deal with. So that's kind of where because life comes

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 1>from it, make it normal. Yes, yes, I love that.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.719
<v Speaker 1>And in the church world I used to be a

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>first lady, they would call that your test and then

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it's so everybody has a test at some point in

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>time in their life. And then they got that a

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>good old testimony, my testimony. I got so many testimonies

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't even want to get me started. So, siddel Um,

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>you have shared that like you recently had some mental

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>health struggles. Um, how was that? How was it to

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to share that? Because I think sometimes when

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you come from a family like yours, where everyone sees

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the glitz and the glamour and the success and the accomplishments.

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes you kind of feel like you don't

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>want to share that type of information because people assume

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>your life is perfect or you know, gosh, what could

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 1>be wrong with you? Or you know, why are you struggling?

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>So how did you get to the point where or

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you felt like you could share your mental health struggles,

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.360
<v Speaker 1>especially with you know, the spotlight on your whole family. Yeah,

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>So to give you just a quick background on how

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>my mental health challenges started. Um, I was in a

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>very abusive relationship from my the end of my college

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean high school years to the first two years

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>of college. Um. And so that brought his own set

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.719
<v Speaker 1>of like PHTSD. And then I also have five concussions

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 1>from playing volleyball. UM. So so that I talked about

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that because a lot of people think that mental health

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>challenges just come from life experiences, which they do, but

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>it also comes from chemical imbalances, getting hit in the

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.959
<v Speaker 1>head five times, like so many other things than just

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>what's happening in your environment and how much money do

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.839
<v Speaker 1>you have and how much UH do you have a

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>like all these kind of materialistic things that matter, but

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, there are other things that play into the

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>mental health space. And so when I just I just

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it, it was really because there was

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.719
<v Speaker 1>a lack of people with the platform talking about it

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>at that time. UM and I was going through it

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>like I just was just really going through it as

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>in a transitional point in my life, going from UM

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>college into like the real world, career world and how

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it earlier than I thought because I had

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>gotten my fifth concussion and my doctors were like, s up,

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.319
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna be a vegetable if you keep playing like

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you needs. Okay, So wait a minute, is that normal

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>in the volleyball world. No, And that's why I kept

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>playing because after my third one, my doctors were like,

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>what's the likelihood of you getting a fourth one? Usually,

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>like in football, they'll cut you off at well, they're

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 1>supposed to cut you off at three concussion. Um, So

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.599
<v Speaker 1>after I got my third when they're like, what's the

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>likelihood of you getting a fourth one? And then my

0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.599
<v Speaker 1>fourth one came, what's the likelihood of you getting a

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>fifth one? So it was like the ball hitting you

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>in the head. Yeah. So I played against I played

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>D one college volleyball, So I was playing against like

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>some big, like strong girls and if you don't get

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>your hands up fast enough, the ball is just the

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 1>ball has no forgiveness, is going to come right into

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:15.599
<v Speaker 1>your face. So for four of the concussions were me

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>getting hit in the head um down the line, and

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>then one of them, I went to dig a ball

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and my head hit the ground first before the rest

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of my body did. I think that's just my reflexes.

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>With every hit in the head, my reflexus was just

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 1>getting worse and worse and worse. So I have like,

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. I've never really heard of concussions in volleyball,

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>but it makes sense. Like I was explained, it definitely

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.079
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Yeah, you know, so you need to bring

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>light to that topic exactly. I mean, it's become any

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>more of a topic now. I think my my niece

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>had a soccer game a couple weeks ago and she

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 1>had gotten hit in the head with the ball and

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>she got she got put on concussion protocol and I

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know what, I'm not mad about that, Like,

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>she's nine. How hard are they kid in the ball

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.439
<v Speaker 1>in soccer right now? And not at the nine year

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>old league? But they were taking it very seriously, which

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy to see um, because I wish that

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I would have taking it seriously. But you know, soccer

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>is like the number one concussion. Like you know, people

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's all football, football, football, but from what I've heard,

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it's actually the doctor seymore concussions from soccer. Why because

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>you hit your head with the ball. I guess you

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>hit each other's head. I don't. I don't play that

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>for me. Okay, okay, okay. UM. So yeah, I mean

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>going into that season of life, that transitional phase of life,

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I had had a platform. People were following me because

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>of my family, but I really wasn't doing anything with it.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>And so we live in we live in a digital age.

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I was on Instagram all the time, like for people

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to relate to, and I couldn't find anyone with the

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>platform who was really talking about how life can really

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 1>be UM. And I was nervous because obviously you get

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you get the push back like you're in this amazing family,

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>there should there should be nothing wrong with you. And

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>that was hard. But I think my purpose in life,

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I've always had a passion for like mental health and psychology,

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>even before I started dealing with my own challenges. UM.

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>But I always my mom always said when you find

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>your purpose, you need to go for it and like

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>never lose sight of it. And I feel like my

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>purpose in life is to share my experiences, however uncomfortable

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>it may make other people feel. Um. So yeah, speaking

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>of your mom, I look at her and I'm like,

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a bad one, right, yes, And look, let me

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>tell you I think did I share the story with you?

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>How this was? Like, Gosh, in two thousand probably three,

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>someone I was at a Pittsburgh Georgetown game because my

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>brother in LAWA played for Pittsburgh, and this young white

0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>dude he was like, you know, a student at Georgetown

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>or something, was like, are you Steph Curry's mother? And

0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I can't see it. It I can see

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but I was literally like twenty something at

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that time, and so in a way I was like

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 1>super flatter because your mom is so gorgeous. But then

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do I look old enough to be

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff Curries mother? No? My mom literally is like Benjamin Button.

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>We call her Benjamin Button. The older she gets the

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>younger kid. I don't even know how she does that.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I just hope that I have that geneous listen, right, Yes,

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>now I'm just gonna get right on to it. So

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>when the family goes to dinner at an expensive restaurant

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and your brother Steph is there, I mean, is it

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>just assoomed he's playing the bill? No. So we've always

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>played a game in our family where I I always

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>take the bill at the end of at the end

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of the day. No, no, no, I take the the

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 1>actual ill I take it. I said, give it to

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>me and we'll go around, Especially once Seth got into

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the league and started making some money as well. They'll

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 1>whoever close the grand schemer thing right, Um, they between

0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>my my dad, my brothers, whoever got the closest to

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.159
<v Speaker 1>the bill didn't have to pay, but whoever was the

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>furthest away had to pay. So we would go around.

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You have to go around, and we make your guests

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>on how much you have to guess on how much

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the bill is. Okay, and I want to get the

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 1>closest okay, So okay, because I'm thinking, if if he's

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 1>not there, then we just order one meat. But if

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>he's there, we order like the damn it, we order

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.359
<v Speaker 1>get the tasting menu when he When he's there, you

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 1>don't hear any lip from my dad, my dad, and

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>when it's just my dad and he has to pay,

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna you can get what you want. But just

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>know that you're gonna hear a little bit of that. Noted, noted,

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 1>that is funny. So speaking of your family, tell us

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it was it like or it hasn't been like growing

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>up Curry. So growing up you know with your dad

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>as a NBA legend, I mean he played for sixteen years.

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Like that is sixteen years? Is that like a record?

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Is that a record? No? I think Vince car I know,

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 1>but what about um, well ship Lebron right now is

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>about to bust a record. Lebron is about almost pace

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 1>fourteen Okay, okay unless the two thousand three he went

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.120
<v Speaker 1>he was in the year after a while and start

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 1>did he a mellow go in at the same time,

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, I don't know, he's up there, he's past fifteen.

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 1>He's a long time. There will be a lot of

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 1>people passing my dad. But he did play for that

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 1>for his time, for his for that time in the league.

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.360
<v Speaker 1>That was a long time. Yeah. And let me tell

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you so one had um like when he was thirty two,

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 1>his knees just went bad. I mean I think I

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.359
<v Speaker 1>think they're like Arthritick, they're bone on bone and he

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 1>just couldn't play anymore. So for these guys to be

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>able to continue to play, and you know, that pounding

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 1>every day, like people don't realize that. Yeah, it's not football,

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>but like that pounding on that court, that hard floor

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 1>every day like that is that's major. So for anyone

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that is playing longer than ship seven seven years on

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the body, yeah, it's amazing. So I'm like, okay, maybe

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>you know they said what tom Brady is vegan, like

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe there's something behind that. Tom Brady is taking doing

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>something else, Okay, a regiment, that special special plan. Yeah,

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>something he's popping something. But back to your family, Um,

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, your father playing in the league for a

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>long time, your brother we all, you know, both of

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 1>your brothers are super successful. But Stuff is one of

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the best players in the league. I mean my father,

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like when Stuff was hurt last year, he was like

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted to cry because he's like, yeah, thing to do, yeah,

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.399
<v Speaker 1>and and Stuff is like change the game totally. Um

0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:01.000
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah. So So what was it like being you know,

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>just the daughter in the family and then you have

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.160
<v Speaker 1>a daughter and a sister, a super uber successful sister

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 1>in law. So would you when we get to and

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you have and you have a husband that plays in

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the NBA, So what is it like for you as

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, do you just feel like I'm just sell

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 1>or do you feel do you get lost in it?

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Do you get lost in it? No, my parents did

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a really really good job at giving us a normal lifestyle. Obviously,

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.399
<v Speaker 1>growing up as a daughter, there wasn't social media. There

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.639
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like a lot of you know, the stuff that

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>they have now to make people even more famous. Quote unquote.

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Um So, I never really felt different growing up as

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>as a daughter of someone of a guy the NBA.

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.680
<v Speaker 1>But when Stephan went to um well had that big

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.400
<v Speaker 1>breakout at Davidson, I started noticing like people were starting

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to treat me different, and that made me a little

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 1>bit uncomfortable. I never really liked attention. I'm a very

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 1>independent person. Yeah, I just don't. I don't like it

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that much. Um and So when I went to college

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and people would be like, oh, you can come into

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 1>this party because you're sub Curry sister, I'd be a

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>little mad, like, no, I'm want to come to your

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>party anymore, or like stop telling people that you know,

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>like you don't even want people to exactly, but you

0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>know what, more than anything, like I it's been a

0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>really really cool experience because I don't like the attention,

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 1>but I love watching the people in my life like

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>elevate and like just break break records and do things

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that people never thought that they would be able to do,

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 1>do things that I never thought that they would be

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:44.679
<v Speaker 1>able to do or could do. And I'm shocked all

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the time. Um, But I again, I feel like I

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 1>live a very I always say I'm an ordinary girl

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>who lives an extraordinary or who experiences extraordinary things. And

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I just feel really blessed because again, I could go

0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to the store or I could just do normal things

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.159
<v Speaker 1>and not feel like I'm anything special quote unquote and

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>just living normal life, which would be a lot for me,

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>like with my mental health and all that kinds of stuff,

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Like if I had the same kind of fame as

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff that, I think God really did his thing and

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>gave the correct talents one of us, because I would

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 1>not be able to handle all the all of the

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>attention that he gets. He just does so well with it.

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Even my dad and Seth do really and Damien do

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 1>really well with that. I'd probably never leave my house

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>if I had all that attention. So I'm just like,

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:40.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm like the biggest cheerleader I love. Just then that's awesome. Now.

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I was on the Instagram and I saw how um

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Stephansha responded to you being pregnant right and then was

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 1>freaking bonkers and I didn't get it, Like I was

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just like, why don't you screaming, yelling and going crazy

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 1>like okay, the sisters pregnant? Okay. I did not know

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 1>your story, so I would love for you to share

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of your story. But before you share

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 1>your story, because you know, I know you're married to

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>your husband who's also want the same team as your brother.

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:13.479
<v Speaker 1>How did that go to play? Okay? Because I want

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to know, like, did you see him and he was

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 1>like you talked? You said to your brother, can you

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>hook a sister up? What happened? Because I want to

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>note ahead, excuse me, because I mean from I would

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.719
<v Speaker 1>think your brother would be like, there's no way you're

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 1>dating an NBA player, Like, hell no, I'm not having it.

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Find someone else, find a banker, a doctor. I didn't

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 1>go on it. Yeah, I did not want it. I

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 1>always said growing up, I would never date or marry

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>a basketball player NBA player because I don't know how

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>they are. And I know that like the guys in

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>my family are top notch and they're like we called

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>them unicorns. Um. And I didn't think that that was possible.

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 1>But when I met I met my husband way before

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 1>he was even in the league. Um, because we went

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>to I went to Ellen. He went to Drexel and

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:06.399
<v Speaker 1>so they're in the same conference. So he was playing

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>basketball in drexxl UM. But like, I didn't know if

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 1>he was any good. I didn't know anything. Like he

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>even transferred to Louisville and like hit me in my

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 1>d M and I was like, who are you? Like,

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>what do you do? Like whatever? And so we met sister.

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>He was always he always tells me that he wasn't

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 1>like pawning for me. I'm like, he was trying, you know,

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 1>in the curries. He was trying to get into the curries. Okay,

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 1>we understand. I mean he succeeded. Hey, that is your

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 1>brother feel about it? I mean, I'm sure he's over

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.480
<v Speaker 1>it now. I mean, you guys, are you know? I

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 1>mean the way their best friends. Like their relationship is

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of sickening, to be honest. I'm like, they're a

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>little too close. And then you know what I mean, look,

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 1>he better, he better stay on Steph's team because Steph

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>can keep an eye. Yes, I mean, it's definitely it's

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>easier for me maybe, like, excuse me, who are you talking?

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Who is this woman you're talking to? Right? Yeah? You

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 1>know what's kind of annoying though about him being on

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the team is that everyone thinks that Stephen literally called

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 1>up the GM of the Warriors like, hey, is my

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.400
<v Speaker 1>brother in law? But they he was on the team

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 1>before we were even engaged. We were just dating and

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 1>like the whole the whole nepotism thing. And then I'm

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.399
<v Speaker 1>just like, do y'all not know how the NBA works

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 1>because they're not going to give away just money to

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody because of who they're related to, Like they have

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to actually be able to contribute something. So your brother

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is married to Doc River's daughter. I know, it's very incestual. Yes,

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I realized that. And how the hell did that he

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>ended up on the same team, I don't know, but no,

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I like, I love it. Keep it in the family,

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:09.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, like good people when you know them, and

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 1>so I feel like, hey, if if we already know

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the Curries are great people, so if the Curries approved

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of you know these Damien, then like he has to

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 1>be an amazing person. And within the n b A,

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:25.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not just about your talent, it's it is almost

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 1>equally about how good of a person are you? How

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.760

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 1>so what well, because I'll give you my brief because

0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>it's so weird. My kids asked me this this morning.

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>They were like, Mom, did you have any trouble getting pregnant?

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.159
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, first of all, why you'll been

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 1>thinking about that? Um? And I? And I did so

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 1>my first child, Grace. You know, it took me like

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 1>six months or so. There was nothing that the doctors

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.560
<v Speaker 1>felt like they needed to do. If it had gone

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:15.640
<v Speaker 1>longer than of course, we would have done some different things,

0:27:15.720 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>but um, you know, it just took about six months.

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The twins was like that, you know pregnant. Was that

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a mistake? That's what the twins asked. They were like,

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:27.679
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, we mistakes and like, first of all,

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you no, it was not. It was definitely playing. So

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:35.200
<v Speaker 1>they soon because they're not even they are Grace and

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 1>the twins or how many, they're eighteen months apart. So

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I wanted them to be wanted to torture yourself? Well, no,

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was gonna be one more, but it was.

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 1>And I wanted the one more and Grace to be

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>grow up together and then two stuff together. But it

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>was two more. So yes, then I was tortured. But anyway,

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:55.240
<v Speaker 1>enough about me. Um what to give us, like your story,

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 1>because that's every woman who's been pregnant, they have a story.

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for sure. Um So Dammy and I got married

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and eighteen. Um, and like June of

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>two thousand eighteen, we were like, let's kind of wait

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a year before we start trying to have a baby.

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 1>So I got I got birth control, and then we

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>got married and then December of Tusan eighty came around

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and we were like they spent enough time together, like,

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 1>let's let's start trying to have a baby. Yeah. And

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>so we haven't tried about six months pretty much. We

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.119
<v Speaker 1>have been trying her about six months, nothing happened. Went

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:33.119
<v Speaker 1>to my doctors. She was like, oh yeah, yeah, just

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:35.159
<v Speaker 1>like keep trying and then if the year comes by

0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and nothing happens, and come back and we'll do some tests.

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I got pregnant in September two thousand and nineteen. Um,

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>but it ended up being a chemical pregnancy, which really

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>really sucks. Chemical pregnancy. It's like an early miscarriage. UM.

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 1>So I tested positive, and then because I was trying

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to get pregnant, I would test every day, every day

0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:00.240
<v Speaker 1>in the positive, just get lighter and lighter and lighter

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>until it was a false positive. I don't know, no, no,

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that the baby implants, but it doesn't stick long enough, okay, bible.

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>So um went went back to my doctor. Six months later,

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>we got test done. Uh. Two weeks into or a

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>week into quarantine when the lockdown happened. Twenty we get

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the call that we couldn't have kids naturally or we

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>had like a really really low chance of having kids naturally. Um.

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Uh issues with both of us kind of yeah, which

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>people were shoved was because like we're so young I

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 1>was at that time and he was only So was

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the miscarriage related to the reasons why you can't why

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 1>they said you couldn't get pregnant. My miscarriages happened because

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I have a progesterone level or a progesterone level issue.

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>After implantation UM, so my progesons levels didn't stay high enough. Okay, okay,

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 1>And so we went into like right into partillary treatments.

0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>We tried UM three months of i U S, which

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>is in inter uterine insemination UM, which basically is a

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 1>step up from natural. They'll put me on medicasions and

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>create more eggs and then they'll insert his uh like

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>they call it the good swimmers through a capital. And

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>we tried those for three months, didn't work, took a

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>month off of October, and then we went into IVF. Okay,

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and that's like pretty rigorous, right, like you have to Yes, yes,

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I did two weeks of three injections a day in

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 1>my stomach UM. And honestly, though, like this is this

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like full circle right now, because it

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>was UM this time last year's when I started watching

0:30:56.880 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the House Lives of Potomac. So you guys, I took

0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a whole month off of November to do my IVF

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.719
<v Speaker 1>and just would sit down every day with my husband,

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>my mother in law and we would watch Real House

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Lives of Potomach everything. We watched all seasons every day,

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>watched the whole scene if you get pregnant. We did,

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 1>so thank you and it's like this literally. So anyways, Um,

0:31:29.320 --> 0:31:32.280
<v Speaker 1>we did our IVF cycle. We got a good amount

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>of embryos um, which is as far as they can

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 1>be developed outside of my body, went through our first

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>embryo transfer in February. That didn't work. Um, it just

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:49.959
<v Speaker 1>it was a really devastating time. So then we went

0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 1>into my next embryo transfer, which I had asked my

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 1>doctor like, can I go on some progestro and because

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I think I had another chemical pregnancy

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in the first embryo transfer, so that's kind of where

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I found out. Went on progesterone for the second one,

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and this one stuck. Um and we are thirty five

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:11.760
<v Speaker 1>weeks pregnant with the first baby. Boy. Oh it's a boy.

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. Girls. We have three girls, already we have

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that girls, three girls and boy. Okay, so now I

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 1>get it. Now I get why. Um, your brother and

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>your sister in law were super excited that you are preggers,

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and so like your husband, I know, he was just

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 1>like through the roof, he was so excited. I actually

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 1>got to surprise him too with this pregnancy because when

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you go through this and there's doctors and timelines involved,

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 1>like you know, every single time, I got a doctor

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 1>at this day this time, so I had actually tested

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and found out earlier than expected that I was pregnant,

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and so he they were in the middle of the

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>season last year and he was away for a road

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>trip when I had found out that I was pregnant.

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.680
<v Speaker 1>So I got to surprise him when he came home. Um,

0:33:05.760 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>he had no idea that I was pregnant, because again

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 1>we had a week to go until I went to

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the doctor from my blood test to see if it

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:16.920
<v Speaker 1>had worked. UM. And that was just like one of

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the best moments of my life because you know, I

0:33:20.680 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>really wanted this to be as normal of an experience

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>as possible. UM, and it hasn't been that normal because

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>all the doctors and all my legs and stirrups and

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of oh my gosh, it was great, Like

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 1>how were you able to even keep that from him?

0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Like day and my hardest thing? Every he was like,

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I am I the last one to know? Did you

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 1>tell everyone except from me? Like? No, no, I only

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 1>people I told my mom and my sister mom. Okay,

0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 1>speaking of sister in law, let's get back to this

0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 1>dinner that y'all play Russian Roulette with the bill. Um. So, yeah, first,

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.520
<v Speaker 1>does she let you cook with her? Because she's got this,

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:06.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, all this cooking situations going on. It's her

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:12.839
<v Speaker 1>food really good. Yeah, that's getting there. We're not done

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:16.879
<v Speaker 1>with the question yet. Hold on, hold time. Okay, when

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:20.520
<v Speaker 1>y'all have moments at because you know, any family have

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>some tense moments at the table. Okay, nine times out

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 1>of ten she starts it right, she starts she's a jokester.

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 1>She's she's trying to do this everyone. I'm just staying

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 1>her jokes. Okay. Are the jokes really not funny? They're funny,

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.400
<v Speaker 1>but she has a different type of humor and you

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>really have to understand her to really like, I think

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it's funny, and sometimes look at her like I laugh,

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:50.319
<v Speaker 1>but like you laugh at her because she's she thinks

0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 1>she's hilarious and she is. Her and stuff in just

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:56.879
<v Speaker 1>feed off of each other. So that's funny to watch.

0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Even if you don't get the joke, you know that

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.520

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:15.600
<v Speaker 1>on some food, So goodad that is. Now, how is

0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 1>your relationship with your sister in law? You all, from

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 1>what I can tell you all appear to be really

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:23.440
<v Speaker 1>really close. Yeah no, I super blessed. I was always

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:27.279
<v Speaker 1>really hard on all my brother's girlfriends, and you should be,

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:31.239
<v Speaker 1>because you know the holes out here in the streets ran.

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I ran a few of them, all ran a few,

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:37.919
<v Speaker 1>actually the one that ran. And that's a long movement.

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's a lot to live up to because their

0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:43.160
<v Speaker 1>mother is a bad one. And so if like the

0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:45.799
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend or discali wag got a hole on the side,

0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>can't live up to the mama, it's a problem. Yeah no,

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.640
<v Speaker 1>but with Aasha like I was mean to her for

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:54.719
<v Speaker 1>about two weeks okay, good, and I couldn't be I

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.160
<v Speaker 1>couldn't be mean to her anymore. I was like, I

0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 1>can't not like you, um and we became like that.

0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I was her maid of honor in their wedding. Yeah,

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be with both my sister in laws are

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:15.400
<v Speaker 1>amazing their sisters. I always wanted, Oh yeah, they perfectly.

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.879
<v Speaker 1>If you all have Thanksgiving dinner, I wouldn't mind being

0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:22.440
<v Speaker 1>invited one day, or if y'all want, I could just

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 1>like fit in. Y'all be like, oh there's cousin everyone does.

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Everyone does. Or going to a restaurant because I just

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:31.360
<v Speaker 1>want to go and order the home menu because I

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:33.799
<v Speaker 1>know I'm not paying it, so I'm just gonna, okay,

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.120
<v Speaker 1>bring me the lobster. And I don't know, you might

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you might have to, you might have to guess on

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that on the on the bill. Just know she makes

0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:58.760
<v Speaker 1>money to anyone money. Let's g get into your Instagram

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:02.799
<v Speaker 1>because it is the pictures, the way it's laid out,

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:06.160
<v Speaker 1>like everything about it. It's like clearly I look at

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it and I'm like, okay, what professional is doing this?

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Um it's it's amazing. So talk to us about like

0:38:12.960 --> 0:38:17.319
<v Speaker 1>why you there's like a style to it, is there.

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't try to fit any kind of style.

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 1>I think that I just try to be myself and

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 1>it's a gets sometimes imposter syndrome like I'm not doing enough,

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not good enough, because then I go look at

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>other people's pages and I'm like, wow, that's so aesthetically pleasing.

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Every every filter is perfect with the other. But that's

0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>just not me. Like if I've spen hours editing a

0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 1>photo or thinking about, you know what I'm gonna post like,

0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't feel genuine and authentic. And I want everything

0:38:48.560 --> 0:38:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that I do to feel genuine, authentic because that's where

0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.680
<v Speaker 1>how I've gotten to this point. And it's much harder

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to be someone else than it is just to be me.

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:57.919
<v Speaker 1>And I don't have time, Like I just I don't

0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:01.120
<v Speaker 1>have time. It's exhausting. So but thank you. I appreciate that.

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I know I want people to look at my Instagram

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and know that that's me, and it's there's nothing fake

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 1>about it. There's nothing, um you know, highlight really like

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I like to be. I like to show all the

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>good and the bad of my life because it's normal.

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I think you do an awesome job and it is

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 1>definitely aesthetically pleasing, but without being you know, it doesn't

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 1>it does not look fake or forced. Um so in

0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in in the content creator world, if that's really it's

0:39:31.200 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>it's people don't really realize how hard it is actually

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to put out good content, aesthetically pleasing content. So you know,

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>kudos to you for doing a great job. You're welcome.

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Now are you gonna I'm sorry, go ahead. Do you

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.879
<v Speaker 1>have to get into this topic? Okay? Are you going

0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to um, you know, after your son is born? By

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 1>the way, do we have a name? Is it an

0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:56.240
<v Speaker 1>s name? So y'all are going to have an empire

0:39:56.320 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 1>of d's like, it's just fair, okay, very good. Are

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you going to show a bunch of pictures of him? Like,

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:05.080
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel about social media and your child?

0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Because it's all it's it's a little tricky. It's a

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>little tricky. Yeah, I mean I've seen both sides of that. Um,

0:40:11.560 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Stefan and Aisha they show their kids a lot, Seth, Callie,

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:18.400
<v Speaker 1>don't show there's that much. Um just the back of

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize he had a child, mm hmm. Yeah,

0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:25.960
<v Speaker 1>So I've seen both sides. Honestly, when he's when my

0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:29.359
<v Speaker 1>baby is first born, I'm gonna really determine on if

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:31.680
<v Speaker 1>he's cute or not because the last thing, that's what

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I want thing I wanted for him to be eighteen

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:37.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty years I'd like, ma, why is this picture on

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the online of me looking all like I don't want that.

0:40:40.040 --> 0:40:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to have problems. But if you like, wait,

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 1>don't feel rushed to put your child. If he looks

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:52.200
<v Speaker 1>like an alien, you're gonna think his hand, his little foot,

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:57.279
<v Speaker 1>wait until he fills out a little bit. I mean

0:40:57.840 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 1>my my son Carter that was talking to you or

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he was I don't like to use the word ugly

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:13.160
<v Speaker 1>cute and look at him now so time. Yeah, but

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 1>like the I got a d M one time from

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the phone who was like yelling at me because I

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't show pictures of my nieces and nephew. She's like, oh,

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you have our pictures like your dogs, And I'm like, okay,

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:27.360
<v Speaker 1>well first that's not a responsibility like my dogs. But

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:29.839
<v Speaker 1>she and I like was like, well, ma'am, I don't now.

0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I definitely don't feel full showing pictures of my of

0:41:32.040 --> 0:41:35.320
<v Speaker 1>my nieces and nephews, because like there's people like you

0:41:35.480 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 1>who are incessant on the fact that I post them

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and what are you gonna do with them? And why

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>do you need them so badly? And their parents post

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:45.800
<v Speaker 1>pictures of them so and so that to me like

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:48.560
<v Speaker 1>really with a red flag about you know, the craziness

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of people. But um, I don't want people to dictate,

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, what I do or don't do. So it's

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 1>really game time decision on on little baby boy. But okay,

0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:01.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, Yeah, he's gonna be cute, stop it. It's

0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna be adorable six months from now, and he's gonna

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:11.239
<v Speaker 1>be goocy down to the socks I already know. Listen,

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I got them. I got them hand me downs from

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Stephan and Aisha. There we go, listen, there we go,

0:42:18.960 --> 0:42:21.120
<v Speaker 1>There we go, because you know they only wear one time.

0:42:21.160 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And yes, the whole bag at Gucci hand me down,

0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:30.879
<v Speaker 1>so good, must be nice, must be nice. All right, Well,

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:33.279
<v Speaker 1>before we let you go, let's talk a little bit

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:37.919
<v Speaker 1>more about mental health, um, specifically seasonal depression, because I'll

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:40.800
<v Speaker 1>be honest. The other day it was like two pm.

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 1>It was gloomy outside, and I was on my couch

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and I just felt this like heaviness over me and

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, it's starting already. Um, So,

0:42:50.920 --> 0:42:55.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, do you have any advice or remedies or

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.799
<v Speaker 1>just you know, any words of wisdom that you can

0:42:57.840 --> 0:42:59.719
<v Speaker 1>give to people who may be around this time of year?

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Are alreat even feel different and they don't know why. Definitely,

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:05.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a normal thing. A lot of people who don't

0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:10.120
<v Speaker 1>experience depression during the other uh seasonal months of the year,

0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>experience it during this time. So now that you're not alone.

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:16.080
<v Speaker 1>One thing for sure, especially for us black people, we

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 1>need to be Vitamin D is huge because we get

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:22.239
<v Speaker 1>vitamin D from the sun and vitamin D deficiency. So

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:25.439
<v Speaker 1>get your supple vitamin D supplement. Make sure you're taking

0:43:25.520 --> 0:43:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that because it will not only help you mentally but

0:43:28.680 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 1>also physically. Um, it gives your energy backup and stuff

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like that. Uh. And now what so why is that

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:37.000
<v Speaker 1>like not a universal thing? Why is that like geared

0:43:37.000 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>towards black people. We're just known to have low vitamin

0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>D deficiency. Um. I mean, I'm sure white people can

0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 1>get it as well during this time, but especially black people. Uh.

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't know that was a thing. I don't

0:43:51.719 --> 0:43:54.239
<v Speaker 1>know that was a thing. So that's good to sure.

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:58.400
<v Speaker 1>It's could be very isolating too, because it's cooled outside,

0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:01.360
<v Speaker 1>it's dark faster. Don't really want to go anywhere, but

0:44:01.680 --> 0:44:04.399
<v Speaker 1>make an effort to if you feel safe. Obviously we're

0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 1>still living in COVID times. Uh. See people, go get

0:44:07.880 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>drinks with people, go hang out. Um, just walk around

0:44:12.400 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>something with someone other than yourself, because that's gonna be

0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:18.759
<v Speaker 1>really good to get you out of that mood. For me, Um,

0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not. I mean it kind of might not be

0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:23.680
<v Speaker 1>too late. I have a summer set in a winter scent.

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm feel like a perfume, if I'm feeling

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 1>really I'm really really down or really like just depressed

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:35.719
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, I'll spray my summer set and that sen

0:44:35.960 --> 0:44:39.839
<v Speaker 1>use your senses during this time. Eyes ears. Now it's

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 1>some watermelon. I don't know something that you know can

0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 1>bring you to summary. That's my craving right now. I

0:44:48.520 --> 0:44:49.919
<v Speaker 1>mean I was gonna I was gonna ask you because

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna tell you my child. My pregnancy cras

0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:56.800
<v Speaker 1>were ridiculous. But I love that. So either, So spray

0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:00.160
<v Speaker 1>something that's gonna remind you of like the sum more

0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:02.520
<v Speaker 1>time and happy and sunshine and all that I love.

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:05.440
<v Speaker 1>So throw the pumpkin spice in the trash. But I

0:45:05.520 --> 0:45:12.279
<v Speaker 1>love me a little pumpkin. Yeah, life, but afraid either

0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:16.840
<v Speaker 1>during right Christmas? But opiniata really good like that. That

0:45:17.000 --> 0:45:18.920
<v Speaker 1>is good. But a lot of people talk about um

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in the wintertime, it's like coffing seasons, like when you

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 1>got to make sure you gotta boo so and but

0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 1>now that you kind of like broke it down, like

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 1>make sure you're engaging, make sure you're going out going

0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and you have drinks whatever. That makes sense. Like I

0:45:30.360 --> 0:45:33.360
<v Speaker 1>couldn't understand coughing season, but I understand it now because

0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you do need somebody, are you. You should have somebody

0:45:36.960 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>that you can just kind of like cuddle up with um,

0:45:40.560 --> 0:45:43.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, hang out with whatever, go to the movies

0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:45.239
<v Speaker 1>with whatever. And my thing is, you know I don't

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 1>like to leave the house, right yeah, and I think

0:45:47.000 --> 0:45:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you have the battle is like putting on clothes and

0:45:49.520 --> 0:45:53.239
<v Speaker 1>make a little hare. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard. Self

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:56.160
<v Speaker 1>care is it's easy to talk about, but it's hard

0:45:56.239 --> 0:45:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to get going. But you always feel better afterwards. Like

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like working out. It's really hard to start working out,

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:04.120
<v Speaker 1>but as soon as you're done, you're like, I mean

0:46:04.160 --> 0:46:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired, but I'm so happy I did that. So

0:46:07.040 --> 0:46:09.839
<v Speaker 1>they just think about the reward at the end um

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:14.160
<v Speaker 1>of getting started. And then also, like my last advice

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:17.080
<v Speaker 1>with the seasonal depression is no, this is a season

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.680
<v Speaker 1>like there will beat in, the sun will come out again,

0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the days will be longer, it'll be lighter outside longer again.

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:26.719
<v Speaker 1>So it's just as time span. There is light at

0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the end of the tunnel um and so it's not

0:46:29.080 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like this forever. Oh I love that. No,

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean I love that. It's so funny. So the

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>other day I was talking to Wan and I was like,

0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm starting to feel it and he was like, you know.

0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:40.520
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I'm like, do you feel the same thing?

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And he was like no. I said, remember when we

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lived in Portland. We lived in Portland, Oregon, and he

0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, it rained every day literally from like early

0:46:50.000 --> 0:46:53.040
<v Speaker 1>December until the middle of May. It literally rained like

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>every single day. So I was like, one, you remember

0:46:56.120 --> 0:46:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the feeling when we lived in Portland, Like how when

0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>it rained every day, you just it just did feel great.

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:02.200
<v Speaker 1>And he was like yeah. I was like, well that's

0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>how I feel, you know, this time of year until

0:47:06.160 --> 0:47:09.239
<v Speaker 1>probably early February, right or maybe you know, maybe March.

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:11.920
<v Speaker 1>And he was like wow, like you know, he doesn't

0:47:12.040 --> 0:47:17.319
<v Speaker 1>feel that at all. And I'm just like, damn, like, yes,

0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that must be like, so I'm like I don't. I

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 1>mean yeah, I gotta really make an effort because it

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:24.600
<v Speaker 1>does keep me in the house, like told the dark,

0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, just balling up on the couch, not wanting

0:47:28.200 --> 0:47:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to get dressed. Now, it's but it it becomes debilitating

0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:33.600
<v Speaker 1>because I do feel like I do miss out on

0:47:33.680 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff. For me to get Rabbit out

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:43.919
<v Speaker 1>of the house in the wintertime, is it's a struggle, yes, really,

0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:46.640
<v Speaker 1>And I feel bad because I think people think that

0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm being like anti social and it's just like, no,

0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a lot of energy. Yeah, or like they're

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:55.520
<v Speaker 1>taking it personal because I'm not hanging out with them,

0:47:55.560 --> 0:47:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, well, don't take a person. I'm not

0:47:56.960 --> 0:48:03.839
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with anyone, right, But yes, I gotta make

0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:07.080
<v Speaker 1>more of an effort because it's yeah, for sure. Um.

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:09.120
<v Speaker 1>And then my mom always said, you know, if you

0:48:09.280 --> 0:48:11.640
<v Speaker 1>are having a bad day, just put on lipstick and

0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I'll make you feel better. So I I like live

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.720
<v Speaker 1>by that. Yeah, you always have to have your lips popping,

0:48:16.960 --> 0:48:18.600
<v Speaker 1>like you feel bad, and so put lipstick on and

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.279
<v Speaker 1>just looking at yourself in the mirror and just say

0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm beautiful, Like I'm beautiful. I don't care what you say.

0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Affirmation yeah, talking affirmations will start becoming a real thing. Yes,

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I do say though. One of my advice is, like

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.239
<v Speaker 1>when you're feeling down is just to like smile and

0:48:33.400 --> 0:48:36.160
<v Speaker 1>brind because when the smile, like the endorphins you get

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:39.040
<v Speaker 1>from the smile like really changes your mood. So sometimes

0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:40.759
<v Speaker 1>you just like sit there and just like put on

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the big, cheesiest smile and you can like feel a

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit better, like feel a little endorphin rush. So well,

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you have been amazing, amazing, and we got you know,

0:48:52.560 --> 0:48:54.320
<v Speaker 1>you didn't mind us getting all up into the curry

0:48:54.400 --> 0:48:57.600
<v Speaker 1>leaf business. All right, I'll tell all the I'll tell

0:48:57.640 --> 0:49:01.000
<v Speaker 1>all the stuff nobody else talk. I'll talk. And if

0:49:01.040 --> 0:49:03.080
<v Speaker 1>we ever see y'all out, I'm just coming to sit

0:49:03.160 --> 0:49:05.440
<v Speaker 1>down at the table. I'm fine. They will never know

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not family. They won't. They won't. Me and Robert

0:49:11.200 --> 0:49:13.960

0:49:16.719 --> 0:49:20.600
