0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>rare and amazing opportunity. So Jackie, welcome to Chickens and

<v Speaker 1>happy to be here. Of course, I love you. I'm

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 1>so happy we were able to make it happen. And

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys, Jackie doesn't spell her name like regular Jackie's

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>like j A c k i E. She spells it

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>j A c q i E. Just so that you're

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>only different. My sister is thank you, sister, thank you

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>for putting some respect on my name. I know sometimes

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I she was here at my house the other day

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and I have a pet peeve when people leave their

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>water bottles like half empty or half fool. So I

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>put her name, I put Jack's and she's like, this

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>is not how you spell my name. She was very upset.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So I said, oh, ship, let me just say that

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>on on the podcast where people are aware. You're like

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>mom when they used to put a Y instead of

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.959
<v Speaker 1>a Yeah. She hated it. Yeah, I think it's perfect.

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>It's very you, very cute. Jackie has always been different. Okay,

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm the eldest and Jackie and I are about

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>four years apart. Uh four years, right, yeah, four years

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>four years And I think and correct me if I'm wrong, sister.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>But since I was the oldest and I was I

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>think so scared of mom, like I wanted her approval,

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you were kind of more like the rebel. You're like,

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be like like I always wanted

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to kind of do things right and make mom happy

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and kind of like a little soldier. And you were like,

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a damn. Uh huh, I don't give damn.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>She would go to school and wear her Andy's on

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>top of her pants and were two two's and and

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I was so piste. Why pissed out? What? Because I

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be different? Or maybe it's like I wanted

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to be seen. I don't know, yeah see, And I

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>think that this is something that this is actually a

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>great conversation. I wasn't even planning on having this, but

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>it might be like a because I think it caused

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>some friction because I don't want to say tension, but

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>maybe friction in our relationship. Because I was the eldest,

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>my mom expected a lot for me, and I think

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>my mom gave me a lot of attention, not because

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>she loved me more, but because I had so many responsibilities.

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So I think you always felt like, hello, ex see,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>still I'm here, like you know what I mean? Like you,

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we're more rebellious. I wanted to be rebellious,

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was rebellious, but very secretly like a lot

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>of things that were in Yeah, I would do things

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>that Mom she never even knew about, but like you

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>were all about it, like loud and like I am

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>who I am not knowing that like Mom appreciated that.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Mom was like she's like me, she doesn't give a ship,

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Like she's gonna do whatever she want. She's going to

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>make it in life because she's she's a rebel. She

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>would tell me that. And I was always more like

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more like I don't know now I'm different,

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think I think you were that way because

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>we needed some stability. Like I remember you getting us

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>ready for school, You're getting me ready for picture days,

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, just making sure everything was good, making sure

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone did their homework, so that you had to be

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 1>the stability. Not that Mom wasn't stable, but she was working.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>So then for me, I think it kind of made

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>me feel like I have like I don't know what

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I have to offer, because that that position was already taken,

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that mom could lean on you can

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>count on you, you know, you were the stable one.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>So I guess I was kind of like, well, I'm

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna be the crazy one or the wild one or

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>do whatever, you know, and and yeah, and it's it's

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>crazy now that like we're talking about it, like and

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to kind of set the you know, the

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>record straight, because I think on social media people have

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>tried to cause this division between yes, this is yeah,

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, and it's it's we've talked about and sometimes

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I have fallen into like, you know, like reading certain

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>things this is before because I haven't like maybe like

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, three years ago, where I would be

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like and it would cause like that distance between us

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>until I got smart and I'm like, I just need

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to talk to my sister and ask her straight up,

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.119
<v Speaker 1>like you know, and we learned. But it's also because

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 1>we were so we exposed our life and especially with

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the reality show, and we shared things that people probably

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to know, but because we want to change

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the world, shared intimate moments that we had that things

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that happened, and I think every family, every sister, like

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sisters go through this. It just happened to put it

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>out there on cameras, so people kind of started choosing sides,

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, dude, it's not about that. It's not

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>about having sides and trying to put us against each other.

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm so grateful for this moment because it

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>is frustrating, like people come and comment or you know,

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>like there's people that have like TikTok's of them reading

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>your book, like they're making it like audio version. So

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>then I get tagged on the parts where there's about me,

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, dude, they're so past this, you know,

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>we're so past like the little moments that we've had,

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>which is like and I'm glad for our communication because

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>some people don't talk forever. But I'm like, no, we're

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna we're fighting for our relationship and we're not there anymore.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just you know, I'm grateful for that. But

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>it does come up a few times I'm like, whatever,

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I used to like want to clarify, but I'm like, dude,

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know these people, Like I'm never gonna

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>see this person ever in my whole life. But I

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>think naturally because of we're human, like the little they're

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>still can be a hundred positive comments and then that

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>one negative one that's against you or trying to cause division,

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the one that sticks. So I've had

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to learn to change that within myself, like it doesn't matter,

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>like not everyone's gonna be your number one fan, so

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I have to be open to that. But I am.

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that we're setting it straight because people need

0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to know. I was your bestest friend. So my very

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>first best friend, my very first best friend, my best

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>is friend, and we have been very close and we

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>are very close. Like I talked to my sister almost

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>every other day every day, like thank God my siblings

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and are very very close. And I wanted to apologize

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to you, sister, because you were okay with it. When

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I wrote Forgiveness, the very first book, I was like, sister,

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk about this because that's part of

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>my journey. But I wasn't doing it to make anybody

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>look back like it was because I needed to heal

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and I needed to also hopefully help people. So hopefully

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>if you guys haven't read the book and you're going

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to read it or any of my books that you understand,

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys, that it's a way of just this outgand

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>limit and expressing something that happened. But my sister, my siblings,

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think are better than ever and I wanted

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to just put that out there. And I'm not ever

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>going to be okay with anyone attacking any of my siblings,

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>any of them. So when I see certain things and

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it pisces me off and I'm like, I just want

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to go and tell everyone, Like but I'm like, you

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>know what, it's okay. We know we're fine, but I

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to be And now we got that out

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of the way. Now we can talk about the mother.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Because Jackie became a mom at you were wet twenty sister, Yeah,

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>three days before it turned twenty, and she told me

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>to cry. Oh, I remember that day when you took

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a pregnancy testing, Like, how am I going to tell Mom?

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>How am I going to tell Mom? I was like,

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>because I know the soft spot Mom had for you,

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>where she was like she saw so much of herself

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and you that I knew you were so scared to

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>tell her. And I remember took a pregnancy test together. Remember, yeah,

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it was Sevas or Walgreens, I

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know what, but we took we I'm like, just

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 1>take one with me, and you're like, okay, fine, we

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>take it together. And then we take it well and

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh my god, my looks different from yours.

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh ship, she's pregnant. But but thank

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>god because it changed my mother's weakn world. You guys,

0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember your mom was taking a nap in her

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>room and she's like, how am I going to tell mom?

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I don't know. You just gotta freaking

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>tell her. It's okay, You're gonna be fine. Remember I

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 1>pushed her. I literally pushed her into the room. I

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>said okay here, and she's like, stayed quet with her

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>little face. We're just there. She was kind of trying

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to she was to say what's going on? I said,

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Jackie has something to tell you. She's like me, how

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>what what's going on? I'm pregnant and she said I remember,

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>And we were all crying and Mom was like, oh me,

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>how come he or that's all so she just think

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, we'll figure it out and Let's be honest.

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>If it would have been me pregnant, my mom would

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>have been very pissed. But with Jackie, it's just I

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.439
<v Speaker 1>think it happened all the way it was supposed to

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>happen the way like Jay look came into it, came

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>into our lives and changed our lives completely. And now

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Jackie has four kids. Um, so there's Jay lothers, Genevieve, Jordan,

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and Julian Um. And now she's she's a wife. She

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>still yes, you're a wiving, You're a good sister. Should

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>be proud of yourself, you know, well if you were

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>really emotional, because I think like right now that you said,

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I turned nineteen or whatever, I got pregnant,

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Like that's the moment like everything changed. Like I remember,

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>we were always together. We were always like, you know,

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>doing everything together, getting our nails together, all these crazy things,

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's what shifted. Like that's where like I stopped

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>being your baby and then became a mom. And I'm like, dude,

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it's just crazy because I remember we used to tell

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>each other we're never gonna get married, and we're gonna

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 1>grow old together and we're going to live in the

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>same house, and now I went in this sister, I know,

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember we honestly, I did everything with you, and

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we would go. I had my little probe, the black one,

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>to the club. They'll take care of the clubs, you guys.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I snuck out one day in this little bitch. She's like,

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell them if you don't take me with you.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh my god, in the middle

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>of the night to go to the races, you guys,

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>so here here I am taking out. Was fourteen, taking

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>my ten year old sister, sneaking her out of the

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>window to go with me to the damn races at

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>two o'clock in the morning. Well, my mom was asleep.

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>She remember I was wearing overalls. I addressed your friend. Oh,

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 1>they called him wreck. He was like a freaking I

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know, like a breaker, a breakdancer. So um. Anyway,

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 1>so we did. We did do everything together. We would

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like drive and lay under the trees together and listen

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to music and we would have our window put down moments.

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>If the song was good, like it's a window put down,

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>let's put the window down, you would sing. But then yeah,

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>then things shifted and you became a mom and you

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 1>went through your things. Now you're CEO of January very crisis,

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and I can't be more proud you, guys, because earlier

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>when Jackie said, you said something that stuck out to

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>me when you're like, how can I be of assistance

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to Mom? And I think you felt for a long

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>time like I'm a little bit of an outsider or

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>because Mom and I were so close and we did

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>everything together, we built the empire that you felt like, well,

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>what am I like? You know what I mean? Now?

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's crazy because I feel like like I'm doing something.

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I did my part with Mom, and

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 1>now you're doing I don't know. You're so good at this.

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 1>You're so fucking good, Like I see the growth. There's

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 1>times you, guys, when I'm like, sister, what's going on

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>with this? Do I have to? Like I get upset

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and She's like, don't worry. They're gonna fucking be sorry.

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>They messed with us. This is Jackie. She's grown so much,

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 1>like from this shy girl to this whole last woman

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>and CEO And I'm so I can't say it, and

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm so freaking proud of you, Jacqueline, Like thanks. It's crazy.

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So tell us about that. How has that been for you? Well,

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it's it's definitely been a learning curve. I remember, um,

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>when do we we have the discussion of me making

0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the vision to like take the step and like, okay,

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't sure if I could do it. To be honest,

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I don't know if I can do this.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I guess because I've always been the

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 1>type to like second guest myself. I think I do

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good front of like you know, up front,

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>like oh I got this, But I feel like I've

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>always been like I don't know if I'm smart enough.

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm brave enough. I don't I

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>don't know too much of this business because I've never

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>liked the music business. I feel like it's just a mess. Um.

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>But I remember like we had a conversation all the

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>siblings and everyone's like you can do it. I'm like, okay,

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>if they think I can do this, and maybe I

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>can do this. And then and then the beginning of

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>last year was just insane because there was like a

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of crying going on. There was a lot of

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's just really really scary stepping into places with

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>business people and and just people who seem like they

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>have it all together, and I felt like such a

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 1>little person. But fast forwarding to the end of you know,

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>last year, and now I feel like I feel like

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>I can sit in a place like that and know

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>who I am and have my head held high and

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>just being the authority. Like maybe I don't have all

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the you know, I don't know all the terms or

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know everything, but I know who I am

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>as Jenny's daughter, and I know that I can take

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>these decisions and take it back to you guys, and

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, like I just feel good, you know,

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I feel like I've found my voice.

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>And even in that, like I feel like you've had

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that moment with Mom in the beginning, Like I feel

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like you couldn't be who you are now if you weren't,

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, the second Mom, if you weren't the one

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>making the decisions and for us, you know, like you

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>just gained that voice and not even more after everything

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you've gone through. So I feel like I've had that

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>moment as well. Obviously Mom's not here to walk me

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>through it, but I feel like I've had the moment

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>where like, no, you hold your head up, pie, you

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>have a voice, you have authority, you are smart, you know.

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. I just I'm sure if I

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>feel good. You are the daughter of of a queen,

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>of a woman that showed us so much, that showed

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>me so much that now I could you know, we've

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>taught you guys, And I just I don't know. It's

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>crazy because it's like you you're four years younger than me,

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>but I I feel so freaking proud, like if it

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>was mom, Like I I'm like, dude, this is crazy.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 1>How how things work out. And one thing I did

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>want to also say, because I have heard like a

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of people and even family members have said that

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>they think that I was the one that that made

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you step into this and and cause Johnny to do

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the yeah, to do the yeah, to ask for the

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>accounting and stuff. And it was like, dude, if you

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>guys only knew that's that's not the case. Jackie was like, Okay,

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>well things can be different. There are things that we're

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>not happy with, and she's like maybe it's my time,

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and we pushed her to it. We're like, yes, if

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you feel like yeah, because she was always second after

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 1>after the previous um trustee. She was always second, like

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>on the will and on the trust and everything. So

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it was just a matter of Jackie being ready and

0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>she went in and she was honest and was like,

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I I don't know. I'm like, well, we're gonna help you.

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna put the right people. And you've done such

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>a good job. And what I love about you and

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>meetings that we've been at and I've been there to

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>see is you ask questions like you're not afraid, and

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that's something Mom taught me, and I think that this

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 1>is an important lesson for people. Like if you sit

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>in a room and there's something you don't understand, you're like,

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but I don't know what that means. Can

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you explain it to me? Like, I've seen you say that,

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's shows so much. There's so much strength and

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>beauty in vulnerability. And I've seen you like, hey, I

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that means. Can you explain it? And

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>that's beautiful Jack's because that's you learning and I've and

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I've am I dude, I'm like, we have meetings. You

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>guys were like on a group chat or like on

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>conversations and my sister's like talking all this like all

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>this language, and I'm like, oh my god, I didn't

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>even know that you know what I mean. So I'm

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>learning from you. So it's it's good. And do you

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>feel completely different from it's been a year. It's been

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a year since you've been in this position. You're completely like,

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel now? Like a year later, I feel, Um,

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've the right person for the job. Um.

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't know that a year ago. I I

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 1>remember I brought it up and I was so nervous

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to bring it up, to step into that place. Um,

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>but I did it, like because I was just like, dude,

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like for years I knew that, Okay, you're the next

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>person up. But I was like when I heard the

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>previous trustee always you know, complaining, candle say like, I

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 1>just don't you know, I could have always stepped up,

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't feel that urge. But the previous like

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>not last year, but the year before it was just crazy.

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 1>We know how crazy that was. And I was like

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 1>someone used to step in and I felt it, you know,

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>like I felt like I have to do this, and

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>and having your guys back up obviously really really helped

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>me believe in myself. And now a year later, I'm like,

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's not like I believe because believe. It's

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know it yet, but I believe I

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>could do it. Now. I know now, I know, like

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.840
<v Speaker 1>this is where this is good. I can do this,

0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like I'm I'm the right person for

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the job because it's not like I don't want to

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>say too much because it doesn't matter with the previous people.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like I have a great relationship with

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>my siblings and it's it's like I'm just the one spearheading,

0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's all of us together. It's not like I

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>can't I don't have a good relationship and I have

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 1>to figure it out on my own, you know. I

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>just I don't know. I just I feel you don't

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.919
<v Speaker 1>have like what I love is like you're not on

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>a power trip. You're not like not like an ego

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.959
<v Speaker 1>thing for you. Like I want to handle it with grace.

0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not just saying it because she's my sister,

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys, But she's always praying, she doesn't make impulsive decisions.

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>She's like always just okay, wait, let me see what

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 1>my siblings think, and we we talk literally saying the

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 1>table and we talk it through and sometimes if we're outnumbered,

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>we're out numbered and we go with whoever, like whoever decided.

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Like we respect each other that much. And I always

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.919
<v Speaker 1>tell my siblings, whether I'm the oldest or not, it's like,

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 1>respect your sister's position. Respect your sister. I understand you

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>need to talk to her because she's it's a difficult

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>thing you're a sibling. But I also tell you you

0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>are also a CEO, so you have to learn to

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>balanced that and not let emotions because I think that's

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 1>what happened previously with the previous administration is too many

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>emotions were involved and it's like, wait, what's going to

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>be best for the artist that you're represented? And that's hard,

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 1>but I think you've you've done it very well. And

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>because we have so much respect for each other as

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, that we're all like, okay, Jackie is

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the leader and we got to respect that. And I

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.439
<v Speaker 1>think that that's important. You guys, thank your sister. I

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 1>really want to thank you for that because that's really

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>empowered me. You know, you've always you know, you're the

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>big sister, like you're the big sister. But when you've

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.639
<v Speaker 1>taken a decision to be like no, like you know,

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you've said, what does Jackie thinker, what does Jackie sayer? No,

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.640
<v Speaker 1>you have to tell Jackie Like, those moments have really

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 1>empowered me. And I want to say thank you for that,

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.439
<v Speaker 1>because for me, I think I've naturally like shrunk for

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever things in my life have happened. I'm naturally just

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>shrunk and made myself smaller. But when you make those

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you make it very clear that it's my position. Those

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you I mean unconsciously or you know, but it has

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>empowered me. So I just want to say thank you

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.040
<v Speaker 1>for that. You're so welcome, sister, and I promise you

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it, And I don't know how you do it.

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I'm like, I don't know would it

0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>even be, Like I don't even want to imagine, especially

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>like right now, if I were in your position and

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I have no kids, like you are a full last

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 1>mother of four and you're a wife, and you have

0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>your own business VI Colores and you guys check that out.

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll give them all that information afterwards. But she has

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.439
<v Speaker 1>her own business of T shirts that Colores and she

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 1>also runs Jenny River Enterprises, and I feel like I'm busy,

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>but I'm like, shit, how does my sister do it?

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 1>There's times when she's texting me at five in the

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>morning and I'm now starting to get up like that

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>again now, but like, I'm like, dude, how the She's like, well,

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I have to work out before I go to work

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and have to take the kids to school. And I'm

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>just like, She'll send us videos at seven in the

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:53.359
<v Speaker 1>morning with all the kids and they're going to school,

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like, how, Like, how have you managed

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 1>to juggle everything, sister? Like being in such a strong

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 1>position having a husband to understand that that's another thing,

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.119
<v Speaker 1>you know that I'm like, and I see Mike, her husband,

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys, she's I see the difference in him where

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.720
<v Speaker 1>he's because he lets you be Jackie and he lets

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 1>you shine, And that takes a lot of balls in

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a man to say, I'm here, I'm gonna take care

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of my kids. I'm gonna let my wife do her thing,

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. And she also sings, oh my god, you guys, sister,

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.160
<v Speaker 1>so tell us, how do you do it? Like, honestly,

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a it's an accumulation of all those things,

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um, And now I completely understand why Mom

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 1>always woke up early like that. Lady was always up

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 1>before everyone, and I'm like, why doesn't she sleep? And

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>now I understand, Like I just it's the waking up early.

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 1>It's honestly having Mike. He's completely different man, and he

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 1>knows that whatever it is that he has that can

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 1>help me, like just be be my person. He takes

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that so seriously and he does it with so much

0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.879
<v Speaker 1>love that I can have the peace of mind that

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, my kids are being taken care of. Sometimes

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>when I have late, late days, he he handles it. Um.

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's just it's that and and really just waking

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>up early. And more than anything, I was very afraid. Um.

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to sacrifice my relationship with my kids.

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I know each all of us had felt that when

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:33.440
<v Speaker 1>we were growing up, and that's always been like, um,

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>in the back of my head, even with the colts

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 1>or when I made the decision to really focus on

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 1>my music, I was like, I want to do this.

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>It's my passion, it's what I love, but not at

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the expense of my relationship. With my children. So I've

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>always said after six pm, there's no work. I'm not

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not working, and and it's been really hard because

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>there's always something that's a pressing issue, the decision that

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>needs to be made now. But I've always told myself

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:56.639
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't need to be made now. You want it

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to be now, but it doesn't have to be. So

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I could wait until tomorrow when it's work hours because

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I need to help. I want to be there and

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 1>help Jay the study for school. Um, which I want

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you to know that she got honor roll again my princess. Yes,

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I am a proud of mother, but it's she's not

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 1>God daughter. Yes. So it's it's me making the conscious

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:23.120
<v Speaker 1>decision to like after six I'm not gonna swear any

0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>phone calls for many lawyers or anything like that, or

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 1>or on the weekends, like I have that time with

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.639
<v Speaker 1>them and it's the family time. Um. But it's just

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:37.360
<v Speaker 1>reminding myself. So scheduling, so you wake up to have

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>me out, which is it's your time, okay, because I

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to ask you that, like because I've noted,

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, there there. You have to have a schedule,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's a routine, you know, to say, Okay,

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>this is what's going to make me Jackie happy, and

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>then have a make time for my kids. And I

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.239
<v Speaker 1>think it's super awesome. She was telling me the other

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:55.920
<v Speaker 1>day we were eating or something, and she's like, yeah,

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 1>we have She puts all of the kids phone, all

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.919
<v Speaker 1>of their phones at it like charging center where no

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:03.919
<v Speaker 1>one can grab it, right or something like that can explain,

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.880
<v Speaker 1>which I think is super cool. Yeah. So so for

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 1>for me, Jayla just got her phone, so I wanted

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to hold it off as much as I could. But

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 1>now in the age that we're living and she needs

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a phone. She's thirteen, which is not that bad because

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the age I had mine. Um, but

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want her to be addicted to the screen.

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's also helping me not be aded to my screen.

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 1>So we all charge our tablets our phones in the

0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 1>same section. It doesn't it's not even with me at nighttime,

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 1>it's not even with her at nighttime. Everybody charges it

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in the same section and we get to focus on

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 1>us time. So everyone is off their phone by eight

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:43.479
<v Speaker 1>and everybody knows so and wow, I think that's awesome.

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.679
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone should practice that. I need to do that,

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>like I really do. I've been wanting to put my

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>phone in my bathroom like away from me for so long,

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>so that I'm attempted to, like, you know, like when

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm I need to go to bed, you know, and

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I start thinking. And then it also helps because the

0:24:57.760 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>alarm is set up at a certain time, so I

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>have to get up and just arm it, so I'm

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:04.439
<v Speaker 1>already out of bed, and then we have to go

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>to the gym there also, that's good, okay, And do

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you do you and Mike have like date nights? Uh?

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:15.879
<v Speaker 1>We we try to our best. Mikey actually did offer

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>to take care of the kids so that me and

0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Mike can have a day time and we took my

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Varne that yeah, Mike care brother. But yeah, for sure,

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's good. I think that you are definitely

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>in a in a much better place within your relationship.

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And I would just want to give us a round

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of applause to Mike. Hopefully here's my podcast. But I

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 1>think that it's super awesome, you know, like that you

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 1>freaking Mike, if you're hearing, hopefully you do. Thank you

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.480
<v Speaker 1>for loving my sister. And I see the change, and

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I love it and I'm just happy and I can't

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 1>wait to go to the like you know, if you

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>guys get married again. But we are, we are, We're

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:54.199
<v Speaker 1>going to renew our vowels and honestly, like, I'm so

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>happy where we're at. So thank you for acknowledging that, Sister,

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>My husband easy. But it's like how you said, like

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>everything had to happen the way it did, and even

0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 1>us not being together for that long changed him, changed me.

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Now we came back together and separated. You were separated

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>for three years, three years for three years, you know what.

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe now I had got an idea you guys should

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 1>come on together as a couple and talk about that

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>if you guys wouldn't mind like having an episode of relationships,

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think we can all learn from it, you know,

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, a lot of people don't come back from

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>what you guys went through. You know, like literally, you

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 1>guys were separated for a while and it really did

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 1>strengthen your love. And I see it. I see he's

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.600
<v Speaker 1>completely different. You're different. Like it's just you guys are

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 1>in a great place and and I'm happy for you,

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>which is continues to grow. But but yeah, I mean,

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:46.280

<v Speaker 1>get all that so they can have a physical location. Yeah,

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for that. I know that for all of

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:26.640
<v Speaker 1>us last year, at the beginning of last year, when

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 1>all this huge transition started and happened, we all were

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>going through stuff, and I know you had this huge

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 1>anxiety attack to like felt I think it was distress

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe or what do you think, like because you went

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital like you were so stressed out right, Yeah,

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>so it was it was a panic attack. Um. I

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that I struggled with anxiety, but apparently I do.

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Janica had said that being forgetful it's like anxiousness. Um.

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I had struggled with a lot one Mike and I

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>were not together, but with this change, I think I

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 1>put a lot of pressure on myself, and I wasn't sleeping.

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:10.240
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of like decisions needed to be made,

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and I just wasn't sleeping. I wasn't, really, like you said,

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the importance of taking care of ourselves. I wasn't doing

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the things I usually do as I like making sure

0:29:18.720 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm drinking of water. Sleeping is so important, and um,

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what happened. I remember I felt like

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like bleeding from the inside. So this was

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>all mental though it's it's a mental thing. And and

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm dying. I'm dying, and poor my

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 1>kids were there and everyone was freaking out, and Mike

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 1>was like, I remember the look on his face. I

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, we have to go to the hospital. I

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>think I'm dying. And I literally felt like all the

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:51.480
<v Speaker 1>blood and my body was coming out of me. There's

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing physical that could prove there was there. You could

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>look at me, and I looked fine, but I felt

0:29:56.440 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it like the sensation of my fingers were getting tinglie

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and my toes were getting tingly, and I was getting dizzy.

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And I remember Mike rushing to the hospital and and

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Isabelle came to watch the kids and and and Mike

0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get in because they wouldn't let him into the hospital. Yeah. Um,

0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>but I went into the hospital and they did they

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 1>took my blood and everything was normal. Everything was fine.

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm healthy physically. But I was there like she hasn't slept,

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 1>she's she's dying, de hydrated. She had a panic attack.

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.959
<v Speaker 1>I thought that I was dying, literally like it was.

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It was very very scary, very like I can't I

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I really thought I was dying. Like and I remember

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I was calling you. I remember I left you a

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>voice message. Yeah, that was I was trying to call

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys to say bye to you guys because I

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 1>thought I was dying. Good. It was. It was insane.

0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 1>And then I remember I was they put me in

0:30:50.920 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a wheelchair and I was looking at the lights and

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like if I fell asleep, I said,

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So I was fighting to stay awake so that I

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't die. But really my body wanted me to sleep,

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted me to rest. It was really crazy. It was

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>very scary. But and how's how's your mental your mental

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.480
<v Speaker 1>health now? How do you are you feeling better? Do

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you have your feel better since that time? Mike really

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like he's like, okay, like you need to sleep, like

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes he'd let me just stay up and and

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that was when there was a switch, like

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>he kind of like really stepped in like okay, babe,

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>like like let's all go to sleep, let's rest, make

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>sure you're eating, make sure, I think because I was

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>so busy on making sure that, like I was, you know,

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>taking care of everything. I had to take care of me.

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 1>And though it was just I don't know, like it

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 1>was a weird I don't know if without saying too

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>much about what's happening in the business, like I think

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it was just a really stressful time and I was

0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:49.160
<v Speaker 1>so consumed by that. And and now you know, it's

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the little changes where Mike's like we have conversations about

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 1>what's going on, so that I convent because I felt

0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>like I had to take all the load to not

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 1>stress you know, you guys out or or him out,

0:32:00.160 --> 0:32:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and even just the pressure of like I need to

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 1>make sure that I do it right I I And

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>now now I know that I don't. I don't have

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to put that much pressure on me because I have

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 1>your guys, like I know it, Like I think before

0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I had this misconception of like I have to show

0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that I'm there really working, you know, I don't know.

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just myself, not that anyone made me feel that way,

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and I get that. So now it's it's the little

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:27.600
<v Speaker 1>things like not having my phone with me and not

0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 1>staying up too late, and it's all those little things.

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel better. There's moments where I obviously there's decisions

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that need to be made and just situations that happened.

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 1>But I'm like, I'm not I'm just gonna pray and

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 1>give it to God, like me staying up, it's going

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.959
<v Speaker 1>to change the situation. Yeah. Do you feel like that

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 1>was your wake up call, like where you're like, Okay,

0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I need to make changes. Okay, Yeah yeah, and I didn't.

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank goodness that Mike is there to like support you

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and tell you, hey, um it's time to go to bed.

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, it's all about that. It's balancing your life.

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you were just so far the other way that

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just finding that balance. That's one thing that is

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>so important for your mental health, for your physical health.

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So so I'm like, of course scared that that happened,

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh my god, it freaks me out.

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>But in a way, I'm like, Okay, that's God saying,

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 1>hey Jack, sit down for a little bit, you know,

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and are you still doing therapy or like you're not right? Yeah? Yeah, okay, good, Yeah, Yes,

0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>we have therapist. Guys. It's my sister and I. She's awesome.

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 1>She's so awesome, and she ends every session with the prayer.

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 1>So it just makes me feel good. So you guys

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>were huge advocates for therapy. You guys know, almost in

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 1>every episode of Chick, I'm always therapy, therapy, therapy, like

0:33:40.960 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just talking and then putting it out. It's so important,

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys. So that's crazy, and I love that. I

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 1>love that you're sharing that because I feel like in

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 1>our generation. I feel like this generation, I don't know

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:57.479
<v Speaker 1>if we're millennials or whatever, but we're very much like

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>take care of those issues, those internalized was the things

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:04.479
<v Speaker 1>that aren't seen. I feel like the previous generation. I

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 1>remember Mom didn't believe in like depression and like she

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't believe it getting sad like get up and she

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't and obviously like maybe that's what she needed to succeed.

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:16.640
<v Speaker 1>But I like to cry. I get it all out

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:20.759
<v Speaker 1>like it's important. So I'm grateful and I feel like

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that's I remember, like even like Mom did not believe

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>in organic Mom, I'm just like you know you were

0:34:26.239 --> 0:34:29.399
<v Speaker 1>very much like you were the pivotal moment of like, no,

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:32.160
<v Speaker 1>this is important, and you know, I love it because

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>now I'm healthy emotionally and all the areas. Yeah, because

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Mom was just like, let's just get ship done. Depressions

0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:41.239
<v Speaker 1>in your mind and she didn't really get it, and

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I understand. It's like now it's like you said, we're

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:45.880
<v Speaker 1>about self help and self love and self growth and

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 1>really like trying to get this internal part in. Yeah.

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So I'm very proud of you. I am that I mean,

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:57.040

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:01.120
<v Speaker 1>but this last one, the one that I'm working with now.

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:03.759

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:07.040

0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:33.879
<v Speaker 1>like I said you guys, is my sister, a mother,

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:39.440
<v Speaker 1>a wife for CEO she has, She's an entrepreneur. She

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 1>also is a singer, a very talented singer, beautiful singer.

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I have been her fans since the first time I

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 1>heard her sing and also at church. She has the

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:52.400
<v Speaker 1>voice of an angel. Um. So, what's going on with

0:35:52.400 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 1>their music? Well, I am working on my album. Um up,

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:05.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on it. I I'm balancing everything I'm doing

0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:09.279
<v Speaker 1>with my album. And that's more of a gift to

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:12.480
<v Speaker 1>myself because I kind of for some reason, I was

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:14.920
<v Speaker 1>wrote off singing like I'm like, I'm not gonna do this.

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I love it, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 1>afraid of the business. But I think now, like I

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>made my two or three years ago, I just said,

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:23.319
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I need to do this album and just

0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:25.120
<v Speaker 1>do it for myself, like show myself that I could

0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>do it, and then you know, life through curveballs and

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 1>then positions shifted and changed. But I'm like, no, I

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>can't let that slip away. So we're almost done. I

0:36:34.040 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have like a date or anything yet, but um,

0:36:38.040 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I am working. Oh my god, I'm so excited. I

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 1>have to tell you, guys, I didn't know she was

0:36:45.120 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 1>working on an actual album, but actually did show me

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.919
<v Speaker 1>like a song. We had a sibling meeting a few

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.440
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago and she showed me a song, you guys,

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was like floored. I was like, what it.

0:36:57.280 --> 0:37:00.359
<v Speaker 1>You've always been an amazing finger at jack, but this

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is another level and this song is so wow, one

0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:05.520
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite songs. I don't know, I just cannot.

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for you guys to hear it. So

0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy they're working on this album. You know me, sister,

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:12.320
<v Speaker 1>we're going to have to have an album release party,

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. Oh my gosh, oh my god. Can you

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:20.360
<v Speaker 1>give us a little hint as to what kind of music.

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's bilingual and it's like alternative, like rock. It's

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:31.279
<v Speaker 1>so fucking awesome. You guys are counting for you to

0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:33.840

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:37.959

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:16.359
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you for believing in me. I know

0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that it hasn't been easy because people are so cruel

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.799
<v Speaker 1>and negative and have tried to put us against each other,

0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>especially on the music side. Um. And I always tell

0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.640
<v Speaker 1>people like my sister has something else, like you have

0:38:30.200 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 1>this grace and charisma and the stage presence and your

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:35.799
<v Speaker 1>voice has grown. But I just want to say thank

0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you for supporting me and even like inviting me to

0:38:38.640 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 1>be part of the concert in Nanaheim, like that did

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:44.319
<v Speaker 1>something in me of like I actually do like I

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:47.439
<v Speaker 1>love this, you know, so just it's every little thing.

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>So I just I just want to say thank you,

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and I really appreciate you being the best big sister

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and just backing me and supporting me even when people

0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 1>try to stupid. Yes, people can be a holes. But

0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've learned, and it's taken me a while

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:06.080
<v Speaker 1>because for a long time I did feel like, oh

0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, my sister has a better voice than me,

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and maybe this is what I'm supposed to do. We

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.279
<v Speaker 1>just have different voices. That's what I've learned. We have

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:16.319
<v Speaker 1>different voices, and I've learned to embrace my voice. And

0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 1>my voice is different, and I have my own light

0:39:19.320 --> 0:39:21.280
<v Speaker 1>to shine and she has her own light to shine.

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:23.879
<v Speaker 1>And it's not about competing or being better than each

0:39:23.920 --> 0:39:27.359
<v Speaker 1>other or one another or it's about just embracing each

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:31.960
<v Speaker 1>other's talent, like knowing that I have something special and

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 1>so does she, and so does my mom and so

0:39:33.760 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 1>does everyone else. And people need to stop comparing and

0:39:38.040 --> 0:39:41.760
<v Speaker 1>putting people against each other. That's just so not cool.

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Like people are like Okay, Beyonce, Arihanna or Drake and

0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:48.760
<v Speaker 1>like it's it's like, dude, it's always always Michael Jackson

0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:52.799
<v Speaker 1>her prints like dude got again, Like I everyone has

0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:54.600
<v Speaker 1>their own thing, like just stop with that. Like, and

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to allow anyone's comment or anything to

0:39:56.920 --> 0:40:00.320
<v Speaker 1>come between us. I embrace you completely as my baby sister,

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:03.760
<v Speaker 1>as an artist, like I admire you, and I admire

0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:05.759
<v Speaker 1>so many other women. Why wouldn't I admire my own sister?

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? I think, do you remember

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 1>anything embarrassing, sister about like our child said, anything that

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:20.319
<v Speaker 1>you want to share, like something, I mean, besides the

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 1>time that you were I was running around naked that

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:31.280
<v Speaker 1>we shared on Santa's podcast. But I'm trying to think what, Oh, sister, Yes,

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if we said the story before. Come

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 1>on tell them that. Yes, I don't even remember that

0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 1>but her poop, yes, guys, Okay, so fine, I'll tell

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the story. Go friends. Okay. So we lived in Compton

0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and it was our house on Keene Street and Compton

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and um my mom and dad had just gotten back

0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:59.360
<v Speaker 1>together and anyways, so our water wasn't working. My I

0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:01.480

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:03.799
<v Speaker 1>or what happened, but the water was not working. So

<v Speaker 1>my episodes with a quote, one or two, you know,

0:43:56.080 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 1>So here's a quote. Sisters don't need words to understand

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:02.960
<v Speaker 1>each other. They have did their own secret language of smiles, sniffs,

0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:06.920
<v Speaker 1>size gasps, winks, and eye rolls. It's very true. Another

0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:10.360
<v Speaker 1>one the greatest gift our parents ever gave us was

0:44:10.400 --> 0:44:15.400
<v Speaker 1>each other. So thank you parents. Those are the two quotes,

0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys, Oh my gosh, thank you so much. For

0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:20.759
