00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:03.442
But I just really love being part of, being part of their story, if you will.
00:00:03.709 --> 00:00:03.758
Yeah.
00:00:03.779 --> 00:00:07.392
With showing empathy or kindness, whatever that would mean to them, you know?
00:00:07.392 --> 00:00:08.657
And if they remembered me, great.
00:00:08.657 --> 00:00:10.973
If they forgot, I'll never forget them, right?
00:00:10.973 --> 00:00:11.150
Yeah.
00:00:11.151 --> 00:00:17.236
But I loved being on that journey and watching somebody grow and loving themselves more than they did before.
00:00:18.658 --> 00:00:19.297
what'd you feel?
00:00:19.495 --> 00:00:19.940
Zazzily.
00:00:19.945 --> 00:00:20.553
Zazzily?
00:00:20.553 --> 00:00:20.925
It's
00:00:20.925 --> 00:00:21.198
my new-
00:00:21.198 --> 00:00:21.207
What
00:00:21.207 --> 00:00:21.809
a word… zazzle.
00:00:21.809 --> 00:00:22.696
It's my new word of the month.
00:00:22.696 --> 00:00:24.460
Zazzle.
00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:25.306
Okay.
00:00:25.467 --> 00:00:26.065
You ready to go?
00:00:26.085 --> 00:00:26.515
I'm ready.
00:00:26.515 --> 00:00:27.077
Let's do it.
00:00:27.551 --> 00:00:29.748
Super excited that you're here.
00:00:29.748 --> 00:00:31.568
So I have Jennifer Lee-
00:00:31.568 --> 00:00:31.577
Ooh
00:00:31.577 --> 00:00:32.887
my beautiful friend.
00:00:32.887 --> 00:00:34.725
You are a makeup artist.
00:00:34.725 --> 00:00:35.959
You've been a business owner.
00:00:35.959 --> 00:00:41.588
For the past few years, you've been front office, like managing, supervising Leyngold Plastic Surgery.
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.183
Yes.
00:00:42.203 --> 00:00:42.582
Love.
00:00:42.582 --> 00:00:43.460
Shout out to them.
00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:44.125
Amazing.
00:00:44.137 --> 00:00:44.329
Yes.
00:00:44.331 --> 00:00:44.945
Hey, team.
00:00:44.953 --> 00:00:45.421
Hey, team.
00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:48.164
So I think, I mean, welcome.
00:00:48.201 --> 00:00:48.659
Thank you.
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:48.859
Welcome.
00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:49.128
Thank
00:00:49.130 --> 00:00:49.859
you for having me.
00:00:49.932 --> 00:01:00.975
And I think today we're just gonna have like a fun big sis pep talk on confidence and- just like everything we go through as humans.
00:01:01.268 --> 00:01:01.567
Yeah.
00:01:01.567 --> 00:01:03.186
Very important to talk about at times.
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:03.881
I think so.
00:01:03.896 --> 00:01:04.391
For sure.
00:01:06.465 --> 00:01:07.420
You gotta speak louder.
00:01:07.593 --> 00:01:07.900
Okay.
00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:07.909
Okay.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.394
We're gonna make you just project.
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:09.641
Okay.
00:01:09.641 --> 00:01:10.962
Then I'm like this loud.
00:01:11.082 --> 00:01:11.323
Yeah.
00:01:11.323 --> 00:01:11.807
Like do this?
00:01:11.807 --> 00:01:12.358
Okay, perfect.
00:01:12.358 --> 00:01:12.487
Let's go.
00:01:12.495 --> 00:01:13.186
I think that's great.
00:01:13.242 --> 00:01:13.515
Yeah.
00:01:13.515 --> 00:01:13.775
Here we
00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:14.007
go.
00:01:14.043 --> 00:01:14.052
Okay.
00:01:14.052 --> 00:01:14.328
Okay.
00:01:14.328 --> 00:01:15.689
Thank you for having me.
00:01:17.302 --> 00:01:18.861
I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep all of it, though.
00:01:18.864 --> 00:01:19.212
Okay.
00:01:19.504 --> 00:01:20.263
I'm gonna keep all of it.
00:01:20.263 --> 00:01:20.415
Okay.
00:01:20.415 --> 00:01:20.671
It's fun.
00:01:20.671 --> 00:01:21.373
All right.
00:01:21.373 --> 00:01:23.296
Super, super grateful that you're here.
00:01:23.296 --> 00:01:34.459
So listen, in terms of everything you see on a daily basis, because you work with a lot of, a lot of people that come into-- I'm gonna just, I guess, pinpoint it straight to the office at this point 'cause that's your current role.
00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:34.662
Love it.
00:01:34.662 --> 00:01:34.787
Let's do it.
00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:35.025
Yeah.
00:01:35.504 --> 00:01:45.072
When you have people coming in, is the main, a generalized main reason that people are coming in, is it all their own choice?
00:01:45.072 --> 00:01:47.234
Like they want to feel these things.
00:01:47.234 --> 00:01:54.371
Like are you finding a lot of people coming they're told they have to?
00:01:54.371 --> 00:01:57.310
Which is a really hard thing to ask, but I don't know.
00:01:57.310 --> 00:01:57.628
What, what's the, what's the word?
00:01:57.628 --> 00:01:57.807
No,
00:01:57.807 --> 00:01:58.070
I,
00:01:58.132 --> 00:02:05.450
I love to talk to people and really pick their minds on why they are scheduling those appointments if I can, if that's the kind of conversation that I'm engaging in with them.
00:02:05.457 --> 00:02:05.802
Totally.
00:02:05.903 --> 00:02:08.789
But I feel like most women and men do it for themselves.
00:02:08.954 --> 00:02:09.281
Good.
00:02:09.372 --> 00:02:18.241
They've somewhere come along the lines where they're either seeing maybe an aesthetic improvement with their uppers or lowers or maybe a little facelift, and they're really doing it for themselves.
00:02:18.241 --> 00:02:20.534
So I haven't really found too many.
00:02:20.534 --> 00:02:29.134
I think that's probably more with other types of cases that I've seen, more like body cases where I've seen maybe the husband or something is, or the boyfriend is really pushing them into that.
00:02:29.134 --> 00:02:29.149
Yeah.
00:02:29.149 --> 00:02:30.316
But they're excited too.
00:02:30.381 --> 00:02:30.663
Yeah.
00:02:30.715 --> 00:02:36.181
But really, yeah, I would say more of it is advocating for themselves and that, aging part of their face mostly-
00:02:36.181 --> 00:02:36.192
Okay
00:02:36.192 --> 00:02:37.495
that they wanna see improvements on.
00:02:37.676 --> 00:02:38.004
Okay.
00:02:38.031 --> 00:02:38.522
Truly.
00:02:38.807 --> 00:02:39.140
Good.
00:02:39.140 --> 00:02:39.284
Okay.
00:02:39.294 --> 00:02:39.491
Yeah.
00:02:39.491 --> 00:02:40.558
Well, that makes me happy that-
00:02:40.563 --> 00:02:40.855
Yeah
00:02:40.918 -->
Load full transcript
00:02:50.260
people are, are doing it for themselves because, you know, you just, you never know when you hear of situations where people maybe feel backed into something-
00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:50.320
Yes
00:02:50.324 --> 00:02:52.919
because of the-- And then you look behind and you look at the relationship.
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.991
Somebody's insulted them-
00:02:54.006 --> 00:02:54.216
Yeah
00:02:54.216 --> 00:02:55.520
and they're do-- Yeah.
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.531
Yeah, absolutely.
00:02:56.531 --> 00:02:56.674
I've,
00:02:56.687 --> 00:02:58.356
I've- The current relationship, whatever it may be.
00:02:58.356 --> 00:02:58.626
Yes.
00:02:58.641 --> 00:03:17.001
Although I will say, and I've told you before, years ago when I had surgery, I remember there was a guy in the waiting and the people at the office were like, "Oh, he's paying for everything for this, like, super young girl that was getting all this surgery done," and she didn't want him to know anything.
00:03:17.001 --> 00:03:23.093
So she just wanted him to pay for everything, and I just thought, "Gosh, where can we get-" "… where can we get one of those?" Like, where-
00:03:23.856 --> 00:03:24.754
They're all over the place.
00:03:24.770 --> 00:03:26.763
I don't, I don't think I'd wanna do-
00:03:26.763 --> 00:03:27.723
Those exist.
00:03:27.775 --> 00:03:30.038
I, you know, it's kind of weird to me.
00:03:30.054 --> 00:03:30.155
Yeah.
00:03:30.155 --> 00:03:35.902
But, like, I don't think I wanna do whatever is expected on the other end of having everything paid for.
00:03:36.008 --> 00:03:36.151
Agreed.
00:03:36.163 --> 00:03:36.800
Like, I think that's where we're just-
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.158
I mean, they're-- to each their own, though.
00:03:38.158 --> 00:03:38.891
Like, everybody-
00:03:39.002 --> 00:03:39.013
Totally
00:03:39.013 --> 00:03:40.990
everybody loves a setup in their life, and-
00:03:40.991 --> 00:03:41.248
Totally
00:03:41.256 --> 00:03:43.548
and maybe they're young and that's not who they're gonna be forever.
00:03:43.691 --> 00:03:43.721
Right.
00:03:43.721 --> 00:03:48.902
Maybe it's in the moment or- maybe somebody was just really willing to wanna pay for all those things.
00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:50.478
Uh, I mean-
00:03:50.489 --> 00:03:51.117
For whatever reason.
00:03:51.146 --> 00:03:53.806
I just feel like there's always n- there's no such thing as a free lunch.
00:03:53.806 --> 00:03:54.066
Yeah.
00:03:54.067 --> 00:03:55.294
Like, something always comes with it.
00:03:55.308 --> 00:03:55.342
Nope.
00:03:55.342 --> 00:03:56.843
That's attachments for sure.
00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:03.379
Anyways, I love that, I love that what you see is something that really improves people's self-confidence.
00:04:03.419 --> 00:04:03.633
Yes.
00:04:03.669 --> 00:04:06.074
Because I feel like that's so important, and I'm-- you know me.
00:04:06.087 --> 00:04:06.111
Yep.
00:04:06.127 --> 00:04:11.078
I'm very pro do whatever you wanna do to be happy within.
00:04:11.096 --> 00:04:12.174
Absol- me too.
00:04:12.174 --> 00:04:12.665
Me too.
00:04:12.665 --> 00:04:14.091
I think it's extremely important.
00:04:14.092 --> 00:04:14.176
Yeah.
00:04:14.176 --> 00:04:18.648
Um, I think to I think one of the-- I'll, I'll point this out.
00:04:18.648 --> 00:04:29.497
One of the, one of the things that I do notice is people waiting a little bit too long for those improvements, overthinking it or not doing it for themselves and waiting a little bit too late in life, and there's never too late in life.
00:04:29.497 --> 00:04:33.490
But I would say, like, if you wanna do something, get it done now., Do it now.
00:04:33.490 --> 00:04:34.797
Do it while it's on your mind.
00:04:35.156 --> 00:04:35.512
Yeah.
00:04:35.512 --> 00:04:37.146
Um, funded or not funded by somebody.
00:04:37.175 --> 00:04:37.425
Right.
00:04:37.425 --> 00:04:38.021
Right.
00:04:38.021 --> 00:04:38.596
Yeah.
00:04:38.596 --> 00:04:41.185
Willing to take all the strings.
00:04:41.185 --> 00:04:41.196
Yeah.
00:04:41.365 --> 00:04:43.588
Like, know your strings, I guess.
00:04:43.588 --> 00:04:43.737
Yeah, exactly.
00:04:43.762 --> 00:04:46.593
Whether you're, like, applying for CareCredit or something-
00:04:46.593 --> 00:04:46.822
Yeah,
00:04:46.822 --> 00:04:49.612
right or you're applying for a personal loan-
00:04:49.612 --> 00:04:49.622
Sure
00:04:49.622 --> 00:04:50.216
from someone.
00:04:50.216 --> 00:04:50.685
Just-
00:04:50.685 --> 00:04:51.382
Personal forever loan.
00:04:51.442 --> 00:04:52.377
Personal forever loan.
00:04:52.377 --> 00:04:55.701
Just make sure you know the strings to which you are now attached.
00:04:55.709 --> 00:04:56.220
Yes.
00:04:56.259 --> 00:04:56.706
There it is.
00:04:56.718 --> 00:04:57.295
Yes.
00:04:57.341 --> 00:04:57.560
But-
00:04:57.569 --> 00:04:58.019
Fair enough
00:04:58.019 --> 00:05:00.267
uh, but okay, so a little late in life.
00:05:00.267 --> 00:05:01.324
Never too late, you're right.
00:05:01.324 --> 00:05:01.742
But there is-
00:05:01.742 --> 00:05:02.533
Never too late, but-
00:05:02.533 --> 00:05:04.165
there is something called playing catch-up.
00:05:04.497 --> 00:05:04.829
Yeah.
00:05:05.016 --> 00:05:05.447
And that's-
00:05:05.447 --> 00:05:05.809
Little bit.
00:05:05.809 --> 00:05:06.069
Yep.
00:05:06.074 --> 00:05:06.305
Yeah.
00:05:06.567 --> 00:05:06.790
Yeah.
00:05:06.814 --> 00:05:10.730
So I learned that when-- So I got approved years ago.
00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:18.290
I've been doing Botox for migraines now for almost 10 years, and in order to get that approved, you have to fail a significant amount of drugs to get that.
00:05:18.290 --> 00:05:18.300
Yes.
00:05:18.658 --> 00:05:28.600
And so when I started doing it is when I then also started doing Botox, for cosmetic because they would need to fix a little bit of stuff, and I thought, "Well, at that point I'm already doing it for this.
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:42.516
Why not?" So almost 10 years ago, so like 33, and
I remember them saying, "You started too late." Like, "You should've started earlier," because I guess with the more with Botox, the more you do it, the more it kind of, you know-
00:05:42.516 --> 00:05:43.819
Paralyzes them over the years
00:05:43.824 --> 00:05:44.591
trains, trains the muscles.
00:05:44.648 --> 00:05:45.016
Yes.
00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:49.836
So that's something that I would say if you haven't started and you're in your mid-30s, maybe start.
00:05:49.836 --> 00:05:50.435
Like, don't-
00:05:50.608 --> 00:05:51.807
I started at 28.
00:05:51.846 --> 00:05:52.262
Okay.
00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:52.596
Yeah.
00:05:52.596 --> 00:05:54.369
And it used to be 10 units.
00:05:54.449 --> 00:05:55.151
Oh, wow.
00:05:55.204 --> 00:05:57.437
47 it's like 70 units.,
00:05:57.577 --> 00:05:57.882
Yeah.
00:05:58.595 --> 00:05:59.432
That changed.
00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:00.249
It's a lot.
00:06:00.249 --> 00:06:00.826
It's a lot.
00:06:00.826 --> 00:06:06.687
That changes my-- I am lucky because I still have it approved for migraines, so I get a lot of that injected.
00:06:06.687 --> 00:06:07.382
There you go.
00:06:07.632 --> 00:06:08.971
And then typically my fixes, like 28.
00:06:08.971 --> 00:06:10.744
And good genetics, you don't age anyways.
00:06:10.744 --> 00:06:11.677
You look fabulous.
00:06:11.985 --> 00:06:12.639
I do age.
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:12.877
Fabulous.
00:06:12.911 --> 00:06:13.658
I do age.
00:06:13.658 --> 00:06:15.245
We found a gray hair.
00:06:15.245 --> 00:06:15.255
Slightly.
00:06:15.622 --> 00:06:17.197
When was my first gray hair?
00:06:17.197 --> 00:06:18.377
Was like, my mom- Your
00:06:18.382 --> 00:06:19.555
first gray hair in your 40s?
00:06:19.565 --> 00:06:20.053
No.
00:06:20.057 --> 00:06:20.069
Oh.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.706
My first gray hair was, like, maybe five years ago or something.
00:06:23.713 --> 00:06:23.762
Yeah.
00:06:23.762 --> 00:06:34.182
And we, my mom and I were in Sorrento, and she saw it and she made a huge deal of it to, like, pull it out in an alleyway as I was shopping and enjoying my life, okay?
00:06:34.182 --> 00:06:36.137
I was cloud nine.
00:06:36.146 --> 00:06:36.425
I love your mom.
00:06:36.425 --> 00:06:39.017
Limoncello samples, like all the snacks.
00:06:39.017 --> 00:06:39.928
Give me the booze.
00:06:39.928 --> 00:06:41.632
Give me the Italian-ness-
00:06:41.632 --> 00:06:41.642
Yes
00:06:41.675 --> 00:06:42.478
of everything.
00:06:42.478 --> 00:06:45.846
And she has to go pull this out of my head and, like, point it out.
00:06:45.846 --> 00:06:48.247
And then it wasn't just to me that she pointed it out.
00:06:48.247 --> 00:06:51.038
We got back to our town and she, like, points it out to all my friends.
00:06:51.038 --> 00:07:12.137
Fast-forward however many years, and now I think we just did my root touch-up 'cause she was like, "This is ridiculous." Like you, this is, do you, or she would make jokes with me like, "Are you just trying to go all gray at this point?" And
I'm like, "Dude, I've been stressed so much the past couple of months that to me it's also a timing issue."
00:07:12.137 --> 00:07:12.523
Yeah.
00:07:12.523 --> 00:07:14.302
So I don't care if it's gonna take an hour.
00:07:14.302 --> 00:07:14.668
Like to me-
00:07:14.668 --> 00:07:14.807
Yeah
00:07:14.807 --> 00:07:16.651
it's an hour that is calculated for something else.
00:07:17.148 --> 00:07:17.360
Right.
00:07:19.507 --> 00:07:20.389
Oh my God.
00:07:20.389 --> 00:07:20.988
Okay.
00:07:21.226 --> 00:07:21.483
Yeah.
00:07:21.499 --> 00:07:23.084
Let's talk about when you were a makeup artist.
00:07:23.084 --> 00:07:25.466
You did a lot of brides, right?
00:07:25.466 --> 00:07:26.088
Lots of brides.
00:07:26.088 --> 00:07:26.850
Lots of brides.
00:07:26.903 --> 00:07:30.701
Brides, photo shoots, headshots, real estate headshots.
00:07:30.757 --> 00:07:30.887
Yeah.
00:07:30.887 --> 00:07:31.286
Everything.
00:07:31.286 --> 00:07:31.860
All of it.
00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:32.642
All the things.
00:07:32.642 --> 00:07:33.291
All the things.
00:07:33.701 --> 00:07:39.151
Tell me your most favorite part about brides and your least favorite part about brides.
00:07:41.007 --> 00:07:46.211
Most favorite part about brides is how excited they were to get married.
00:07:46.211 --> 00:07:50.913
The least favorite part, maybe…
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:55.197
And maybe not least favorite.
00:07:55.197 --> 00:07:56.345
Maybe slight like entitlement.
00:07:56.499 --> 00:07:56.841
Okay.
00:07:56.841 --> 00:07:58.343
I was gonna say maybe not least favorite, but like
00:07:58.343 --> 00:07:59.192
the most difficult.
00:07:59.192 --> 00:08:02.569
There, okay, 'Cause there-- okay, there w- there were some, there were some fun ones and there were some interesting ones.
00:08:02.569 --> 00:08:09.298
The interesting ones were the ones that were spending like 40 to $100,000, just to possibly get divorced, but the wedding sounded super fun.
00:08:09.403 --> 00:08:09.701
Oh.
00:08:09.884 --> 00:08:10.505
For, I don't know.
00:08:10.505 --> 00:08:14.649
I mean, maybe for them, because the parents would be mortified in the end if six months later they got a divorce.
00:08:14.732 --> 00:08:14.954
Mm-hmm.
00:08:14.997 --> 00:08:18.581
But I had heard it multiple times, like, "Well, if it doesn't work out, we'll just get a divorce.
00:08:18.581 --> 00:08:22.454
No big deal." And I'm like, "Wow, your venue was 40 grand alone.
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:23.206
Yeah.
00:08:23.843 --> 00:08:28.322
And you're paying me a lot to be here right now to do your 13 bridesmaids' makeup.
00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:28.341
Wow.
00:08:28.555 --> 00:08:33.039
So I think mostly those types of things were very interesting to witness.
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:42.240
I mean, apart from maybe throwing fits, but I interviewed my clients, so it was very strategic in how we partnered together, and would we work well together.
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:52.024
So I was very, very picky, especially, I mean, in the beginning, not so much to build the business, but not even a year later, I, I definitely, interviewed my brides.
00:08:52.332 --> 00:09:02.292
I, I think that's a difficult thing and something that no matter what business you're in, I mean, I've talked to my good photographer friend who she now is in a position-
00:09:02.292 --> 00:09:02.302
Yes
00:09:02.302 --> 00:09:06.711
where she really has to vet out clients, because I think when you're in a service-based industry-
00:09:06.711 --> 00:09:07.077
Yes
00:09:07.077 --> 00:09:10.341
and let's talk about something as high stakes as a wedding.
00:09:10.613 --> 00:09:10.780
For
00:09:10.785 --> 00:09:10.796
sure.
00:09:10.796 --> 00:09:13.917
And just those are photos that you-
00:09:14.105 --> 00:09:14.470
Forever
00:09:14.470 --> 00:09:14.508
that's it.
00:09:14.508 --> 00:09:16.537
It's a one-shot deal though, right?
00:09:16.548 --> 00:09:16.558
Yes.
00:09:16.562 --> 00:09:18.638
You can't go redo them if there was a mess up.
00:09:18.643 --> 00:09:18.658
Yes.
00:09:18.868 --> 00:09:20.942
So makeup, that's a one-shot deal.
00:09:20.942 --> 00:09:22.889
Like if, if you're not happy, you're not happy.
00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:31.066
So yeah, these are a lesson to everyone who's in a service-based business like this, performing, you know, doing services for people.
00:09:31.066 --> 00:09:32.654
Please vet your clients because-
00:09:32.660 --> 00:09:36.327
For sure… Katiuscia: it, but it is hard all grind in the beginning.
00:09:36.327 --> 00:09:39.058
Well, when you're trying to build a business, but there's somebody for everybody.
00:09:39.107 --> 00:09:39.376
Yeah.
00:09:39.393 --> 00:09:39.759
Right?
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.571
And it was just a short amount of time where I started to go, "Uh-oh.
00:09:42.571 --> 00:09:44.328
Well, I don't have to take everybody.
00:09:44.328 --> 00:09:44.847
I don't ha-
00:09:44.847 --> 00:09:44.868
Right
00:09:44.868 --> 00:09:46.428
not everybody's my client."
00:09:46.453 --> 00:09:46.466
Right.
00:09:46.812 --> 00:09:48.113
And there's someone for everyone.
00:09:48.113 --> 00:09:52.288
I would say more so my brides were pretty amazing after I started doing that.
00:09:52.288 --> 00:10:00.738
It would be more so like a family member or like going back to the photos, a bride who said, "Only neutral lips," but the bridesmaid wanted black eyeliner and red lips.
00:10:00.738 --> 00:10:10.431
And when she got the pictures back, "Well, why did we have that?" Like, "Well, your bestie didn't wanna let up and do the nude lip, and she wanted heavy black eyeliner." Sorry.
00:10:10.644 --> 00:10:10.791
Yeah.
00:10:10.807 --> 00:10:11.870
I, I tried.
00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:13.317
I told her what was on the menu.
00:10:13.445 --> 00:10:13.721
Right.
00:10:13.727 --> 00:10:17.542
It wasn't black eyeliner and bright red lips for your pictures-
00:10:17.553 --> 00:10:20.684
But-… Jennifer: on your Oh, geez.
00:10:20.684 --> 00:10:21.562
Oh my gosh.
00:10:21.580 -->
00:10:22.061
Right?
00:10:22.118 --> 00:10:22.624
Harsh.
00:10:22.808 --> 00:10:22.961
Yeah.
00:10:22.961 --> 00:10:23.868
Okay, so that makes sense.
00:10:23.868 --> 00:10:24.039
Yes.
00:10:24.044 --> 00:10:34.533
Like, I, I think the way I would look at a wedding is, uh, I mean, obviously I have very different views on marriage in the sense of if I'm, you know, when I get married, I'd like to, I'd like it to be forever, right?
00:10:34.578 --> 00:10:34.826
Yes.
00:10:34.846 --> 00:10:37.181
I don't wanna go into it with the planning of-
00:10:37.349 --> 00:10:40.264
Yeah, this might not be forever, but- That's- I'm gonna get a cool party for now.
00:10:40.296 --> 00:10:41.432
No, that's wild.
00:10:41.432 --> 00:10:46.296
Like, d- and, and then I'm also big pro, like, take the money that you were gonna spend on that party and go-
00:10:46.296 --> 00:10:47.176
Uh, buy a second home?
00:10:47.203 --> 00:10:47.772
Buy a second home.
00:10:47.772 --> 00:10:47.974
Yeah.
00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:49.166
Go on a bitchin' vacation.
00:10:49.171 --> 00:10:50.051
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:50.061 --> 00:10:52.251
Um, do something to last more than a day.
00:10:52.254 --> 00:10:52.793
Yes.
00:10:52.821 --> 00:10:55.477
And just for photos that are also gonna cost you a lot of money, so-
00:10:55.477 --> 00:10:55.984
All of it is
00:10:55.984 --> 00:10:56.563
to me, it's like-
00:10:56.783 --> 00:11:02.330
Yeah… Katiuscia: the whole thing, purposeful and intentional- about everything.
00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:10.917
But yeah, I would imagine that would weigh so heavily, especially hearing it more than once of the entitlement and just- Yes
00:11:10.922 --> 00:11:13.458
yeah, this again, I don't know.
00:11:13.458 --> 00:11:19.642
There's such a value and a seriousness it's a lot of heaviness to, or not, not heaviness.
00:11:19.642 --> 00:11:21.879
There's a lot of weight that goes into-
00:11:21.923 --> 00:11:22.187
Yes
00:11:22.192 --> 00:11:22.943
marriage.
00:11:22.962 --> 00:11:23.190
Yes.
00:11:23.190 --> 00:11:27.379
And I just can't imagine listening to that and then you're, like, having to do the things.
00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:29.596
Well, and, and for me, I, I pray over my brides.
00:11:29.596 --> 00:11:30.607
I prayed over them.
00:11:30.607 --> 00:11:39.635
I would sit and have prayer with them before we got started if that's, if they were comfortable with that, because I, I d- I do wanna be part of something, and I did that was gonna be forever, and it was special.
00:11:39.635 --> 00:11:46.703
And I would say more so, uh that behavior came about the last year that I was in business, and I decided, "You know what?
00:11:46.703 --> 00:11:47.827
I'm gonna retire myself.
00:11:47.827 --> 00:11:49.181
I've been doing this long enough.
00:11:49.181 --> 00:11:57.259
Um, I have great skills, but I think it's best, for the medical industry." So I'm gonna take my experience, my corporate experience, and-
00:11:57.296 --> 00:11:57.480
Yeah
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:01.322
my compassion and my empathy that I had doing that.
00:12:01.322 --> 00:12:03.195
And I was- always loved makeup, right?
00:12:03.195 --> 00:12:09.150
But just that people-pleasing, it was meant to be transitioned into something different, and I'm really glad that I made that leap.
00:12:09.150 --> 00:12:10.745
Changed, changed my life.
00:12:11.182 --> 00:12:11.192
Good..
00:12:11.293 --> 00:12:12.754
Money structure a little bit, too.
00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:12.791
Yeah.
00:12:12.792 --> 00:12:21.322
But it was all worth it in the end to do something where I felt that my, that my love and my empathy and kindness was going towards medical-type things-
00:12:21.322 --> 00:12:21.432
Right
00:12:21.432 --> 00:12:25.371
where I could give my love in that industry versus this kind of people-pleasing.
00:12:25.371 --> 00:12:27.062
And where, clients changed over the years.
00:12:27.277 --> 00:12:27.465
Yeah.
00:12:27.467 --> 00:12:28.052
They really did.
00:12:28.052 --> 00:12:31.820
I would say probably, I say a year, but I wanna tell you it was probably, like, the last two years that I did that.
00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:36.345
Just isn't for me anymore," and-
00:12:36.442 --> 00:12:36.745
Yeah
00:12:36.974 --> 00:12:41.472
you know, as, as lucrative as it is, it's a definitely lucrative business, but you're definitely a slave in it.
00:12:41.472 --> 00:12:43.248
You know, if I can use the slave word.
00:12:43.248 --> 00:12:44.256
Sorry, but that's how it felt.
00:12:44.591 --> 00:12:45.535
You can use the slave word.
00:12:45.554 --> 00:12:46.979
Working seven days a week.
00:12:47.014 --> 00:12:47.559
Yeah.
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:48.759
Well- Day and night, day and night-
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:48.769
Yeah
00:12:48.769 --> 00:12:52.816
because you're, you know, seeing clients throughout the week, seeing, you know, doing your events on the weekends, but-
00:12:52.822 --> 00:12:52.980
Mm-hmm
00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:56.745
doing headshots and different ev- you know, other types of services throughout the week.
00:12:56.745 --> 00:12:57.073
That's a grind.
00:12:57.073 --> 00:12:57.860
Whatever that would be.
00:12:57.860 --> 00:13:01.259
So it was, it was a lot, and it was fun, and a lot of traveling.
00:13:01.364 --> 00:13:01.860
Yeah.
00:13:01.885 --> 00:13:04.056
So I would have my way paid to cool places, and-
00:13:04.056 --> 00:13:04.639
That's cool.
00:13:04.644 --> 00:13:04.993
Yeah.
00:13:04.993 --> 00:13:05.610
So-
00:13:05.864 --> 00:13:08.511
That's really cool… Jennifer: it it was nice Yeah.
00:13:08.511 --> 00:13:08.657
I think- think-
00:13:08.657 --> 00:13:09.629
And I, and I don't miss it.
00:13:09.831 --> 00:13:12.014
Every chapter comes to a close, right?
00:13:12.014 --> 00:13:12.123
Like-
00:13:12.125 --> 00:13:12.594
Absolutely
00:13:12.749 --> 00:13:14.839
when it comes to work and life-
00:13:14.839 --> 00:13:14.849
Yes
00:13:14.849 --> 00:13:16.690
and anything, friendships, relationships.
00:13:16.690 -->
00:13:17.341
Some things-
00:13:17.347 --> 00:13:17.421
For
00:13:17.423 --> 00:13:19.820
sure … come to a close, like all good things.
00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:22.048
There was a song that Nelly Furtado had.
00:13:22.048 --> 00:13:25.841
All good to to an end or something?
00:13:26.089 --> 00:13:27.120
I have another song I'm playing.
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.759
Why do, why do all good things come to an end?
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.666
Well, I feel like chapters like that-
00:13:31.666 --> 00:13:31.677
Yes
00:13:31.677 --> 00:13:34.296
that also take a lot out of you, and it's either-
00:13:34.301 --> 00:13:34.311
Yes
00:13:34.311 --> 00:13:36.754
that they come to a close or that they shift.
00:13:36.754 --> 00:13:44.840
And I realize that in my own business with, not that the chapter is coming to a close, but the chapter, the life chapter shifts because-
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:45.138
For sure
00:13:45.195 --> 00:13:46.820
certain things happen where you're like, "Hmm."
00:13:47.655 --> 00:13:48.332
Reevaluation time.
00:13:48.336 --> 00:13:49.557
No me gusta, right?
00:13:49.557 --> 00:13:49.620
Yeah.
00:13:49.644 --> 00:13:50.441
No me gusta this.
00:13:50.445 --> 00:13:50.803
Yes.
00:13:50.836 --> 00:13:58.548
So you just have to kind of pivot and in the way you do business or the way you, you I guess, handle whatever's thrown at you, and life's just different.
00:13:58.548 --> 00:14:04.291
But I love that you're now… Uh, I would, I would also think, like, where you are-
00:14:04.423 --> 00:14:04.452
I love it
00:14:04.586 --> 00:14:20.871
and what you do, when it comes from a place of also feeling valued in all of your gifts and abilities and talents all of your expertise, there is value there also, and that's, that's very different than being in a people-pleasing business-
00:14:20.900 --> 00:14:20.910
Yes
00:14:20.910 --> 00:14:26.076
where getting… I mean, you're, you're literally, it's a people-pleasing business.
00:14:26.078 --> 00:14:26.089
Yeah.
00:14:26.089 --> 00:14:26.953
So if they're not happy-
00:14:26.956 --> 00:14:27.322
100%
00:14:27.330 --> 00:14:29.298
you're 100% going to hear about it, too.
00:14:29.316 --> 00:14:29.918
Absolutely.
00:14:30.629 --> 00:14:36.014
and there's no like, "Okay, let me fix it," because again, one day, one shot, done.
00:14:37.076 --> 00:14:37.259
Yeah.
00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:37.566
All right.
00:14:38.158 --> 00:14:40.416
But it's fun to transition into plastics.
00:14:40.568 --> 00:14:40.634
Yeah.
00:14:40.634 --> 00:14:41.413
And I love it.
00:14:41.716 --> 00:14:42.326
That's good.
00:14:42.326 --> 00:14:42.436
I
00:14:42.441 --> 00:14:42.802
love it.
00:14:42.905 --> 00:14:44.592
I love all- It's- And I love it.
00:14:44.592 --> 00:14:59.347
I love… I'm, again, very for… So hold on, because while we're very for people doing whatever they want to be happy- Don't you find that people… Let's say they've had a lot of life changes, right?
00:14:59.347 --> 00:15:02.792
Either lost a lot of weight, had surgery, whatever it is.
00:15:02.792 --> 00:15:11.830
Do you ever see… I guess, is it more common than not that people will still see themselves as who they were versus who they are now-
00:15:11.854 --> 00:15:12.162
Absolutely
00:15:12.162 --> 00:15:12.909
after all the work done?
00:15:13.092 --> 00:15:13.999
Absolutely.
00:15:13.999 --> 00:15:15.057
Oh, for sure.
00:15:15.057 --> 00:15:15.730
Yes.
00:15:15.743 --> 00:15:23.769
So how do you deal with that in terms of you being the one who's offering all this love and support, and even just the g- the office in general and the, and the-
00:15:23.769 --> 00:15:23.908
Yeah
00:15:23.908 --> 00:15:24.979
doctors and the providers.
00:15:24.979 --> 00:15:26.115
Isn't that hard?
00:15:26.128 --> 00:15:27.875
It, it's a collaborative effort for sure.
00:15:27.890 --> 00:15:27.926
Okay..
00:15:27.926 --> 00:15:34.384
It is definitely a collaborative effort of the entire practice, but I think the beauty of being up front and seeing them when they first come in, right?
00:15:34.384 --> 00:15:37.448
That, that, that first human being that you meet when they come in, right?
00:15:37.448 --> 00:15:39.461
Maybe they've been broken down throughout the years.
00:15:39.461 --> 00:15:40.354
They've gotten to their goal.
00:15:40.354 --> 00:15:41.500
They're where they need to be at.
00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:42.702
They have surgery.
00:15:42.702 --> 00:15:43.533
They come back.
00:15:43.533 --> 00:15:44.705
They struggle with it.
00:15:44.705 --> 00:15:50.240
Even though they're looking amazing and you're like, "My God, I… That's, like, incredible. What a, what a turnaround."
00:15:50.245 --> 00:15:50.268
Yeah.
00:15:50.275 --> 00:15:51.708
"What a, what a transition," right?
00:15:51.708 --> 00:15:53.351
And they're not that happy about it.
00:15:53.351 --> 00:16:06.884
So it's like you're more excited than they are, and then you slowly see maybe that, you know, two weeks or a month later, you see that person that you were hoping to see, when they came in for that appointment, which is a completely different person than, than who you met when they first came in.
00:16:06.884 --> 00:16:09.231
And these are more, like, bigger cases, I would say.
00:16:09.231 --> 00:16:09.241
Sure.
00:16:09.404 --> 00:16:10.894
Like body, face cases-
00:16:11.155 --> 00:16:11.206
Mm-hmm
00:16:11.206 --> 00:16:12.124
things like h- that.
00:16:12.124 --> 00:16:19.381
But also that confidence, um, for them to see who they are now and today takes a while to soak in.
00:16:19.381 --> 00:16:20.058
It really does.
00:16:20.058 --> 00:16:32.841
There's a few of them, they're like, you know, "This is great. Oh my gosh, I see all the change." And then there's some that it takes a little longer because they had been that version of themselves for so long that seeing that new version is really hard to wrap their minds around.
00:16:32.903 --> 00:16:33.203
Sure.
00:16:33.225 --> 00:16:37.875
But it really is, um, I feel really
special to be part of all of that, like honored.
00:16:37.875 --> 00:16:42.423
I mean, it's not my practice, but, you know, it's my front lobby.
00:16:42.437 --> 00:16:42.780
Yeah.
00:16:42.836 --> 00:16:46.642
But I just really love being part of, being part of their story, you know, if you will-
00:16:46.642 --> 00:16:46.918
Yeah
00:16:46.918 --> 00:16:50.591
with showing empathy or kindness, whatever that would mean to them, you know?
00:16:50.591 --> 00:16:51.856
And if they remembered me, great.
00:16:51.856 --> 00:16:54.482
If they forgot, um, I'll never forget them, right?
00:16:54.482 --> 00:16:54.660
Yeah.
00:16:54.663 --> 00:17:00.745
But I loved being on that journey and watching somebody grow and loving themselves more than they did before.
00:17:00.745 --> 00:17:01.785
So that would-
00:17:01.785 --> 00:17:03.765
What a cool position to be in also-
00:17:03.768 --> 00:17:03.812
I love it,.
00:17:03.812 --> 00:17:03.851
I do
00:17:03.851 --> 00:17:05.165
to be able to see it.
00:17:05.314 --> 00:17:05.573
Yeah.
00:17:05.574 --> 00:17:07.403
To see the transition and then to see-
00:17:07.403 --> 00:17:07.943
Yes
00:17:08.018 --> 00:17:10.951
these people really so confident with themselves.
00:17:10.951 --> 00:17:18.292
And I'm, I would think that it kind of, even to you, like would pain you when they don't see it themselves, but-
00:17:18.292 --> 00:17:18.580
Yes
00:17:18.580 --> 00:17:20.810
it is really hard for us, right?
00:17:20.823 --> 00:17:21.733
Yes, of course.
00:17:21.733 --> 00:17:28.678
It's, it's hard when we go through any life change, especially if we've looked or been one way our entire life or majority of our life.
00:17:28.678 --> 00:17:29.019
I mean-
00:17:29.028 --> 00:17:29.550
Yes
00:17:29.574 --> 00:17:31.905
tell me about growing up for you.
00:17:31.905 --> 00:17:36.511
Like, you're, you're very pro-confidence, self-confidence and self-love, and I love that.
00:17:36.511 --> 00:17:51.036
And that's something that f- I mean, honestly, like I struggle sometimes with giving myself the grace and the just acknowledgement of how far I've come, and I think it's just because I got sick at 13.
00:17:51.036 --> 00:17:53.881
I was on max high dose prednisone immediately.
00:17:53.881 --> 00:17:53.942
Yeah.
00:17:53.942 --> 00:17:55.582
I gained like 50 pounds in a month.
00:17:55.582 --> 00:17:58.246
It was so hard being a teenager-
00:17:58.412 --> 00:17:58.612
Yeah
00:17:58.612 --> 00:18:01.532
and dealing with that, and then dealing with what came with that.
00:18:01.532 --> 00:18:12.507
So it was very hard for to… Like I, like I always say, I, I can walk in a room and I mean, I, again, natural introvert.
00:18:12.507 --> 00:18:15.208
I really just wanna be home watching "Game of Thrones." Like in a
00:18:15.358 --> 00:18:16.942
And it's so hard to see you that way for me.
00:18:16.951 --> 00:18:17.732
It's, but I'm like-
00:18:17.736 --> 00:18:18.922
It's so hard to see you that way
00:18:18.952 --> 00:18:20.086
very ambiverted, right?
00:18:20.086 --> 00:18:22.925
Like I'm very extroverted for everything I have, I have to be.
00:18:23.087 --> 00:18:23.244
Yes.
00:18:23.253 --> 00:18:25.391
So but where's my safe space?
00:18:25.391 --> 00:18:26.010
It's at home.
00:18:26.010 --> 00:18:27.579
It's at home like tucked in-
00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:27.852
Yes
00:18:27.852 --> 00:18:28.928
with my dogs who-
00:18:28.930 --> 00:18:29.490
With the pups.
00:18:29.544 --> 00:18:29.876
Yeah.
00:18:29.876 --> 00:18:32.314
Who give me the world's best celebration-
00:18:32.318 --> 00:18:32.352
Yes
00:18:32.356 --> 00:18:33.722
every time I walk into a room.
00:18:33.813 --> 00:18:34.107
Yes.
00:18:34.130 --> 00:18:36.300
So there's my boost of confidence.
00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:37.193
It's from my dogs.
00:18:37.193 --> 00:18:48.839
But I can walk into… Like I have, I still have struggle at almost 43 walking in to meet someone at a bar for a meeting, 'cause I'll be like, "Are you gonna be like at the bar top?
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.492
Are you gonna be at the-
00:18:49.517 --> 00:18:49.728
Yeah
00:18:49.734 --> 00:18:51.438
lobby?" Like I don't like it.
00:18:51.438 --> 00:18:52.779
It gives me kind of anxiety.
00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:53.078
Yeah.
00:18:53.111 --> 00:19:00.710
So I've just, I've never been the most confident person to walk into a room, and that's fine, but at least I can carry it off and-
00:19:00.758 --> 00:19:01.016
Yes
00:19:01.016 --> 00:19:02.230
fake it literally.
00:19:02.230 --> 00:19:02.785
I, I do.
00:19:03.092 --> 00:19:03.490
Yeah.
00:19:03.498 --> 00:19:04.365
I do, I do.
00:19:04.429 --> 00:19:05.117
We have to.
00:19:05.117 --> 00:19:05.923
Growing up-
00:19:05.923 --> 00:19:06.530
Definitely do
00:19:06.580 --> 00:19:16.759
like do you, do you find that your appreciation for, and understanding maybe of self-love and the importance of being confident, did that come in your adult years?
00:19:16.884 --> 00:19:17.465
Oh, for sure.
00:19:17.488 --> 00:19:17.718
Yeah.
00:19:17.894 --> 00:19:23.130
I, I mean, I think I, I, you know, you know, my rebirthing and different versions of yourself, right?
00:19:23.130 --> 00:19:23.144
Yeah.
00:19:23.144 --> 00:19:28.155
I mean, I, you know, was bullied in school, however you wanna put that, made fun of, but that was the '90s.
00:19:28.155 --> 00:19:28.942
That's what they did.
00:19:28.942 --> 00:19:30.333
You know, it just was what it was.
00:19:30.333 --> 00:19:39.778
But I always, I had a very confident mother and a very confident father- And I think that really helped to empower me, and God has always put really strong women in my life as well.
00:19:40.086 --> 00:19:40.140
Nice.
00:19:40.153 --> 00:19:46.958
So no matter what area I went in, there was always some boss lady, that was there to somehow guide me.
00:19:46.958 --> 00:19:49.606
Um, and I've, I've never been short of that.
00:19:49.606 --> 00:19:55.614
So I just think them seeing that confidence in me at a very young age… I mean,
I started in retail cosmetics in my early 20s.
00:19:55.614 --> 00:19:56.823
I was 22 when I started.
00:19:57.196 --> 00:19:57.223
Mm-hmm.
00:19:57.223 --> 00:20:02.763
And these women were in their 30s, and they w- they just saw something in me, took me under their wing, trained me.
00:20:02.763 --> 00:20:07.582
So I think if I never had that, I probably would be a little bit different today.
00:20:07.582 --> 00:20:12.460
But I had women that saw the, uh, I don't know, the beast in me, whatever you wanna put-
00:20:12.468 --> 00:20:13.105
What a blessing
00:20:13.115 --> 00:20:14.000
the confidence.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.005
Absolutely.
00:20:15.048 --> 00:20:15.546
What a blessing.
00:20:15.705 --> 00:20:16.449
I'll never forget their names.
00:20:16.449 --> 00:20:17.719
Tracy Davis.
00:20:17.789 --> 00:20:18.613
Aw.
00:20:19.446 --> 00:20:20.250
That's one of 'em.
00:20:20.250 --> 00:20:20.931
I love that you know that.
00:20:20.981 --> 00:20:21.397
Oh, yeah.
00:20:21.397 --> 00:20:22.324
Barbara Sheehan.
00:20:22.324 --> 00:20:28.712
I can name a lot of really strong women throughout the years that mentored me to see myself the way they saw me.
00:20:28.712 --> 00:20:32.211
I would've never seen that version of me without them pointing it out, so…
00:20:32.652 --> 00:20:34.353
And I think we all need that in life.
00:20:34.525 --> 00:20:34.546
We do.
00:20:34.548 --> 00:20:37.213
I think we all need that supporter, that ride or die-
00:20:37.222 --> 00:20:37.736
Yes
00:20:37.778 --> 00:20:38.722
that uplifts.
00:20:38.722 --> 00:20:44.151
And that's the thing about… I mean, amazing that you had that in your early 20s from women-
00:20:44.151 --> 00:20:44.390
Yes
00:20:44.391 --> 00:20:44.873
that were older.
00:20:44.873 --> 00:20:50.334
I find that now, even women my age, around, you know, same age as me-
00:20:50.397 --> 00:21:00.167
Yeah… Katiuscia: to be able to just think the past, gosh, I don't know how many years it's been, where there is such a tear down of women to women.
00:21:00.167 --> 00:21:00.661
Yes.
00:21:00.661 --> 00:21:02.019
Just a hate on women to women.
00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:02.355
Yes.
00:21:02.355 --> 00:21:03.481
And it's like, what?
00:21:03.481 --> 00:21:07.457
I don't underst- I guess I'll never understand it, to be honest.
00:21:07.457 --> 00:21:16.190
It, it just makes no sense to me to, to, to look at someone else, and there's a total thing about, like envying someone for something they have.
00:21:16.190 --> 00:21:16.886
Like great car-
00:21:16.886 --> 00:21:16.896
Sure
00:21:16.896 --> 00:21:17.403
great this.
00:21:17.450 --> 00:21:17.916
Yes.
00:21:18.363 --> 00:21:28.116
Jealousy is a concept that's really hard for me to understand, and I think it's because getting sick so young, I lived a very different life than other people-
00:21:28.116 --> 00:21:28.167
Yes
00:21:28.167 --> 00:21:35.413
and never really had the opportunity to have, like, those asshole, uh, high school years or-
00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:36.184
Oh, I love that for you.
00:21:36.229 --> 00:21:39.213
Yeah, or deal, or deal with, like the drama.
00:21:39.213 --> 00:21:40.457
I guess it gave me more character.
00:21:40.491 --> 00:21:41.114
Yeah, right?
00:21:41.114 --> 00:21:43.355
The, the drama, I never got-
00:21:43.355 --> 00:21:43.365
Yes
00:21:43.365 --> 00:21:45.459
involved with the drama 'cause my-
00:21:45.459 --> 00:21:45.643
Yeah
00:21:45.643 --> 00:21:50.664
my struggle and my, like fight was literally my health and staying alive 'cause I was real sick.
00:21:50.664 --> 00:21:51.634
I'm glad you didn't have to deal with any of that.
00:21:51.769 --> 00:21:52.397
I'm glad too.
00:21:52.397 --> 00:21:54.207
That would've been painful and awful for you.
00:21:54.221 --> 00:21:54.651
Yeah.
00:21:54.651 --> 00:21:54.661
Yeah.
00:21:55.290 --> 00:21:55.813
Awful.
00:21:55.999 --> 00:21:56.531
I think so.
00:21:56.536 --> 00:21:56.546
Yeah.
00:21:56.547 --> 00:21:58.042
I mean, I dealt with some of it, you know I mean?
00:21:58.042 --> 00:21:58.394
Sure.
00:21:58.428 --> 00:21:59.256
But, like-
00:21:59.256 --> 00:21:59.266
But
00:21:59.555 --> 00:22:02.184
but I was able to at least put it, keep it at bay.
00:22:02.184 --> 00:22:13.920
But I think in life, with women especially, women friends, women coworkers, colleagues, I just want everyone to, like, thrive in the way that they have to thrive-
00:22:13.923 --> 00:22:13.951
Yes
00:22:14.151 --> 00:22:14.926
and just kill it.
00:22:15.028 --> 00:22:16.891
And not compete and empower each other.
00:22:17.031 --> 00:22:17.057
Just-
00:22:17.057 --> 00:22:19.426
Regardless of the age, younger, young or older.
00:22:19.462 --> 00:22:20.137
Yeah.
00:22:20.137 --> 00:22:23.384
I would- And I, I think it's really… It's, it's hard.
00:22:23.384 --> 00:22:24.759
Not hard for me.
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.061
It's hard for, in general-
00:22:27.061 --> 00:22:34.792
Well… Katiuscia: and I'm not saying towards me, I'm just saying in general, I see it, and I'm like And I think the way some women were raised maybe, right?
00:22:34.792 --> 00:22:38.045
Maybe they had an insecure mother that bled that onto them-
00:22:38.069 --> 00:22:38.363
Okay
00:22:38.363 --> 00:22:43.194
um, and didn't give them that quite, you know, an opportunity to be an empowered woman as they grew up.
00:22:43.194 --> 00:22:48.625
Or they I, I, that could be the only thing that I would ever wrap my mind around.
00:22:48.634 --> 00:22:49.010
Yeah.
00:22:49.092 --> 00:23:02.258
I just feel like I was even, before I left work, talking with Amber and, um, just we were talking about empowering each other and, and how, um, it's easy to say kind things, and you really, really gotta think hard to tear somebody down, right?
00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:02.508
Yeah.
00:23:02.663 --> 00:23:09.846
Unless you're so quick-witted on something you may think you know about them to tear them down, but otherwise, why not be good to other women?
00:23:09.846 --> 00:23:11.137
Why not
empower each other?
00:23:11.137 --> 00:23:12.517
Say kind things.
00:23:12.517 --> 00:23:28.067
You know, I had a really great job in my early 20s that women with degrees should have had, but it's the way that I handled things, how I worked it, my communication, and was given high titles at a pretty young age and not really supported by the older women or other women in the department.
00:23:28.067 --> 00:23:31.173
It was kind of like, you know, they were jealous they didn't-
00:23:31.209 --> 00:23:31.229
Sure
00:23:31.229 --> 00:23:34.116
get that position, but I worked hard enough to get it.
00:23:34.175 --> 00:23:34.512
Yeah.
00:23:35.182 --> 00:23:39.547
So, I never wanna be that kind of woman to any other women, woman, you know?
00:23:39.750 --> 00:23:39.955
Yeah.
00:23:39.963 --> 00:23:43.471
She's in her 20s, I wanna empower her to say, "Hey, you're great.
00:23:43.471 --> 00:23:43.471
You're doing a great job."
00:23:43.574 --> 00:23:43.757
Mm-hmm.
00:23:43.765 --> 00:23:47.382
"Let's keep," you know, "let's keep molding you into this awesome boss babe."
00:23:47.509 --> 00:23:47.660
Yeah.
00:23:47.663 --> 00:23:54.512
You know, whether I never see you again or I continue working with you, I'd rather empower everybody around me than find something wrong with them.
00:23:54.584 --> 00:23:54.950
Right.
00:23:54.960 --> 00:24:00.169
It's like, how can we correct it and make it better, or help you with your personality to make you a better woman to other women?
00:24:00.169 --> 00:24:00.967
So-
00:24:00.970 --> 00:24:04.971
And you probably are like that, number one, because of, that's your personality anyway.
00:24:05.006 --> 00:24:05.077
Totally, yes.
00:24:05.077 --> 00:24:05.779
So you give a lot of love.
00:24:05.782 --> 00:24:06.213
Yes.
00:24:06.531 --> 00:24:10.828
But you also had support and love from other women.
00:24:10.829 --> 00:24:10.856
Yes.
00:24:10.857 --> 00:24:14.670
So it was kind of, you know, I think what you put out in life is what you get back.
00:24:14.670 --> 00:24:14.680
Yes.
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:20.345
And that's just if you come from a, a beautiful, loving, abundant, positive mindset-
00:24:20.376 --> 00:24:29.924
Yes… Katiuscia: it's going to do from a place of negativity, and all of the other things, where it's just like the scarcity, the negativity- Yeah
00:24:29.932 --> 00:24:32.880
all of the things, and then, well, the whys, right?
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.656
The second you start-
00:24:33.656 --> 00:24:33.671
Yeah
00:24:33.671 --> 00:24:38.194
questioning why something happens for someone else but doesn't happen for you is the second you've already lost.
00:24:38.263 --> 00:24:39.195
Absolutely.
00:24:39.195 --> 00:24:41.493
Because we can only control what we can control.
00:24:41.726 --> 00:24:41.939
Yep.
00:24:41.951 --> 00:24:45.728
But I can't control why someone else got something and I didn't get it if I was up for something.
00:24:45.737 --> 00:24:45.760
Yes.
00:24:45.770 --> 00:24:46.101
Right?
00:24:46.101 --> 00:24:46.536
That's-
00:24:46.544 --> 00:24:46.718
Yes
00:24:46.765 --> 00:24:47.770
unfortunately, it just-
00:24:47.770 --> 00:24:48.907
Wasn't your time… Katiuscia: wasn't my time.
00:24:48.907 --> 00:24:49.224
Nope.
00:24:49.292 --> 00:24:49.824
Jinx.
00:24:49.930 --> 00:24:50.226
Yep.
00:24:50.263 --> 00:24:50.900
You owe me a Coke.
00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:59.223
It wasn't, it wasn't my time, and that's fine, and I just… It makes me sad that I see it so much of just-
00:24:59.928 --> 00:24:59.945
Yeah
00:24:59.945 --> 00:25:14.386
not supportive and not wanting your, especially friends, like that never makes I see people who are like, "Yeah, my friends don't support this my friend, I'm are are they really your friend then?" I mean, is it-
00:25:14.973 --> 00:25:15.159
Yeah.
00:25:15.159 --> 00:25:15.169
Yikes.
00:25:15.169 --> 00:25:18.532
It's a wild, uh, it's a wild thing, but unfortunately-
00:25:18.532 --> 00:25:18.542
Yeah
00:25:18.542 --> 00:25:19.993
that's just the reality we live in.
00:25:20.115 --> 00:25:21.796
I don't think I could keep friends like that.
00:25:21.815 --> 00:25:22.369
Well, well yeah.
00:25:22.369 --> 00:25:23.713
How do you… Is that really-
00:25:23.713 --> 00:25:23.835
That was fun.
00:25:23.835 --> 00:25:25.359
Is that, like is that really a friend?
00:25:25.372 --> 00:25:25.616
No.
00:25:25.616 --> 00:25:26.258
That's the whole thing.
00:25:26.258 --> 00:25:27.025
100% not.
00:25:27.025 --> 00:25:27.508
Yeah.
00:25:27.528 --> 00:25:27.873
Yeah.
00:25:27.951 --> 00:25:28.308
Sorry.
00:25:28.308 --> 00:25:30.034
Newsflash, every lady out there.
00:25:30.777 --> 00:25:31.028
Yeah.
00:25:31.028 --> 00:25:31.038
Yeah.
00:25:31.038 --> 00:25:31.777
Not a friends.
00:25:31.832 --> 00:25:33.075
A true friend supports you.
00:25:33.131 --> 00:25:33.393
Yeah.
00:25:33.393 --> 00:25:34.122
In everything.
00:25:34.127 --> 00:25:34.290
Yes.
00:25:34.300 --> 00:25:35.657
Because you just want to see-
00:25:35.657 --> 00:25:36.752
And is always on your team.
00:25:36.791 --> 00:25:37.078
Yeah.
00:25:37.088 --> 00:25:38.871
Unless you're so wrong they have to call you out.
00:25:39.037 --> 00:25:39.317
Yeah.
00:25:39.317 --> 00:25:40.299
Which is also a great friend.
00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:40.309
And
00:25:40.309 --> 00:25:40.944
And thank you for that.
00:25:40.944 --> 00:25:41.251
Yes.
00:25:41.280 --> 00:25:41.667
Yes.
00:25:41.667 --> 00:25:43.018
Yeah, we love those friends.
00:25:43.018 --> 00:25:43.028
Yes.
00:25:43.028 --> 00:25:44.203
We love the friends who can call you out-
00:25:44.203 --> 00:25:45.708
Please call me out if I need it Yeah.
00:25:45.923 --> 00:25:48.272
But also the ones who just want you to thrive.
00:25:48.291 --> 00:25:48.880
Yes.
00:25:48.880 --> 00:26:00.583
So I've been very fortunate that I've met colleagues in my industry across the country that are… It's just this tribe of women who are phenomenal.
00:26:00.583 --> 00:26:01.661
Like, I can't even-
00:26:01.667 -->
00:26:02.031
I love that
00:26:02.031 --> 00:26:08.720
the empowerment and how they uplift and just always support and want you to, like, wanna constantly lift you.
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:10.739
There's nothing like it.
00:26:10.739 --> 00:26:11.161
There's-
00:26:11.163 --> 00:26:11.359
Yeah
00:26:11.405 --> 00:26:13.548
because you don't get that in every industry-
00:26:13.548 --> 00:26:13.557
Yeah
00:26:13.557 --> 00:26:15.038
especially competitive industries.
00:26:15.038 --> 00:26:15.729
Oh, for sure.
00:26:15.809 --> 00:26:20.260
Like, so it's nice to have that, and I'm very grateful for, for those moments.
00:26:20.260 --> 00:26:21.679
'Cause everybody can win at some point.
00:26:21.679 --> 00:26:23.284
Again, there's somebody for everybody.
00:26:23.363 --> 00:26:23.776
Yeah.
00:26:23.865 --> 00:26:24.313
Right?
00:26:24.496 --> 00:26:24.919
Yeah.
00:26:25.073 --> 00:26:25.483
Yes.
00:26:25.512 --> 00:26:28.518
It goes back to the not everyone is supposed to like you, and that's okay.
00:26:28.525 --> 00:26:29.044
Yes.
00:26:29.321 --> 00:26:29.481
Your people-
00:26:29.481 --> 00:26:30.461
The let them theory.
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:31.060
The let… Yeah.
00:26:31.060 --> 00:26:31.548
Yeah.
00:26:31.548 --> 00:26:33.047
Your people will find you.
00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:33.299
Yes.
00:26:33.334 --> 00:26:34.153
You know what I mean?
00:26:34.170 --> 00:26:34.457
Yep.
00:26:34.457 --> 00:26:36.163
So I think that that's, that's huge.
00:26:36.163 --> 00:26:38.583
Now, you have a daughter in high school.
00:26:38.598 --> 00:26:38.876
Yes.
00:26:38.895 --> 00:26:48.434
I do wanna ask, in terms of high school, what you're hearing from her, how is the… Like, is there a ton of bullying still?
00:26:48.434 --> 00:26:49.220
What's the-
00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:49.230
Yeah.
00:26:49.262 --> 00:26:49.472
Yeah.
00:26:49.472 --> 00:26:49.814
Yes.
00:26:49.814 --> 00:26:50.164
She-
00:26:50.194 --> 00:26:52.763
Okay… Jennifer: she's getting It's actually kind of entertaining.
00:26:52.763 --> 00:26:53.132
Is she?
00:26:53.132 --> 00:26:53.693
Okay.
00:26:53.890 --> 00:26:54.951
Not in a bad way, though.
00:26:54.951 --> 00:27:00.018
Um- She- you know, she's not into going out to a car at lunch to smoke, so thank you, God-
00:27:00.018 --> 00:27:00.329
Okay
00:27:00.329 --> 00:27:01.871
that that is never gonna be my daughter.
00:27:01.991 --> 00:27:02.126
Good.
00:27:02.135 --> 00:27:03.291
Don't ever let it be my daughter.
00:27:03.291 --> 00:27:09.222
But there was just a project she had, in one of her classes for, I believe it was, um, film studies.
00:27:09.222 --> 00:27:15.119
And there was a group of kids in there, and they didn't include Grace to go out to the car to go smoke.
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.828
Well, and then she didn't wanna be included, so she went and was wandering the hall kinda doing whatever.
00:27:18.828 --> 00:27:28.050
Teacher stops and says, "What are you doing?" She goes, "Oh, um, they, uh, went off to go do something else, so, um, I'm just here by myself." And she didn't tell on them.
00:27:28.050 --> 00:27:29.654
She just said, "I don't know where they're at."
00:27:29.669 --> 00:27:29.924
Yeah.
00:27:30.151 --> 00:27:36.281
So of course, they came back in the class, called her a snitch- … 'cause the teacher had, had said something to them.
00:27:36.281 --> 00:27:44.875
And so they didn't get in trouble, but they got talked to, and then the teacher decided to divide up the team, so that way it was a bit more equal and not friends, you know, being naughty together-
00:27:44.875 --> 00:27:44.894
Okay
00:27:44.894 --> 00:27:46.530
forming their little naughty circles.
00:27:46.538 --> 00:27:46.548
Oh
00:27:46.548 --> 00:27:47.057
my gosh.
00:27:47.057 --> 00:27:49.544
Leaving to go smoke in their car, whatever they were doing.
00:27:49.544 --> 00:27:51.115
Um, but yeah.
00:27:51.115 --> 00:27:56.508
She's like, "I'm getting bullied, and they're gonna transfer me out of the class second semester." So she's gonna go do something else.
00:27:56.508 --> 00:27:58.647
But I thought that is… I, and, and it's not funny.
00:27:58.647 --> 00:28:06.224
She's not being bullied in a bad way, but I just thought she's so beautiful, she's so smart, and she's so nice, and she doesn't take crap from anybody.
00:28:06.230 --> 00:28:06.548
Yeah.
00:28:06.575 --> 00:28:07.762
She just stays quiet-
00:28:07.924 --> 00:28:10.809
Yeah… Jennifer: and stares at Hold on.
00:28:10.809 --> 00:28:11.883
I will say, though-
00:28:11.894 --> 00:28:14.627
She's funny… Katiuscia: the fact that you're Yeah.
00:28:14.665 --> 00:28:14.894
We
00:28:14.894 --> 00:28:15.740
ta- That's her bully.
00:28:15.801 --> 00:28:16.095
Okay.
00:28:16.112 --> 00:28:16.961
That's her being bullied.
00:28:16.961 --> 00:28:18.107
That's her version of being bullied.
00:28:18.107 --> 00:28:21.144
We had talked a few months ago, and you were like, "According to Grace-"
00:28:21.154 --> 00:28:21.276
She
00:28:21.278 --> 00:28:22.692
doesn't- "… bullying is over." Right?
00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:22.710
Yeah.
00:28:22.805 --> 00:28:24.025
"There's no bullying in high school."
00:28:24.035 --> 00:28:24.045
Yeah.
00:28:24.046 --> 00:28:24.553
So now you're like-
00:28:24.556 --> 00:28:24.713
Yeah
00:28:24.713 --> 00:28:25.442
"She's being bullied."
00:28:25.452 --> 00:28:26.126
Two weeks ago-
00:28:26.361 --> 00:28:26.637
Oh my gosh
00:28:26.637 --> 00:28:27.609
she came to me.
00:28:27.609 --> 00:28:29.846
You know, we have our little late night sesh talks-
00:28:29.846 --> 00:28:29.858
Oh
00:28:29.858 --> 00:28:31.702
and she wanted to share that with me.
00:28:31.702 --> 00:28:33.915
But I thought of all people, my God, Grace.
00:28:33.915 --> 00:28:35.655
Like, it's just funny to me.
00:28:35.655 --> 00:28:36.199
Aw.
00:28:36.199 --> 00:28:44.061
But she, she's, she's, um- She's very smart, and I think I've taught her a lot of my, you know, in-school smarts-
00:28:44.061 --> 00:28:44.071
Good
00:28:44.071 -->
00:28:46.827
and street smarts, um, on how to deal with things.
00:28:46.827 --> 00:28:49.587
So again, that's why she didn't go out and smoke in the car with them, thank God.
00:28:49.587 --> 00:28:49.617
Good for her.
00:28:49.932 --> 00:28:51.230
But also how to handle it, too.
00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:53.076
So smile with grace.
00:28:53.076 --> 00:28:54.693
They're gonna do what they wanna do.
00:28:54.761 --> 00:28:55.045
Yeah.
00:28:55.045 --> 00:28:55.315
Let them.
00:28:55.554 --> 00:28:55.782
Yeah.
00:28:55.784 --> 00:28:56.053
Yeah.
00:28:56.173 --> 00:28:57.032
Let them do it.
00:28:57.142 --> 00:28:57.377
So,
00:28:57.377 --> 00:28:57.387
yeah.
00:28:57.387 --> 00:28:58.006
Snitch.
00:28:58.006 --> 00:28:58.368
Aw.
00:28:58.368 --> 00:29:01.220
I love, I love that she wasn't even, she wasn't a snitch
00:29:01.229 --> 00:29:01.519
though.
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:04.170
No, she goes, "I wasn't a snitch. I just said that they were not around."
00:29:04.173 --> 00:29:04.193
Weren't there.
00:29:04.193 --> 00:29:04.741
Yeah.
00:29:04.741 --> 00:29:05.261
She knew where they were at.
00:29:05.261 --> 00:29:07.288
And she goes, "Which is true. I didn't have any idea where they went."
00:29:07.298 --> 00:29:07.580
That's fine.
00:29:07.593 --> 00:29:10.330
"Except they did tell me they were going to smoke in the car, but I didn't tell them that."
00:29:10.409 --> 00:29:11.445
She wasn't gonna tell on her friends
00:29:11.448 --> 00:29:12.240
there you go… Katiuscia: about that.
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:12.645
Yeah.
00:29:13.202 --> 00:29:19.384
Does she see it with other Does she see, like, a lot of… Like, where she goes to school or there-
00:29:19.557 --> 00:29:19.820
she does-
00:29:19.843 --> 00:29:20.025
Okay
00:29:20.025 --> 00:29:20.867
see mean things.
00:29:20.867 --> 00:29:26.536
Mm. I know she was saying something, you know, she works with, um, last year she was doing, a theater that was for special needs.
00:29:26.536 --> 00:29:27.568
She loves it.
00:29:27.568 --> 00:29:31.166
Um, she's gonna trans- she wants to, she'll d- she'll end up doing it again next year.
00:29:31.166 --> 00:29:34.568
She said she didn't take it this year, but she was wanting to do forensics.
00:29:34.568 --> 00:29:43.246
But she, I mean, she documents and says that there's rude things said about special needs kids, and she'll get right back in and stick up for them and, you know-
00:29:43.308 --> 00:29:43.321
Mm
00:29:43.321 --> 00:29:45.095
let these kids know we don't talk like that.
00:29:45.384 --> 00:29:45.519
Yeah.
00:29:45.688 --> 00:29:46.647
That's, that's not how we speak.
00:29:46.647 --> 00:29:49.392
And if you choose to speak that way, don't talk that way around me.
00:29:49.392 --> 00:29:52.319
So definitely very assertive with-
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:52.451
Good
00:29:52.451 --> 00:29:53.946
uh, what she's passionate about, for sure.
00:29:53.970 --> 00:29:55.252
She is pretty assertive.
00:29:55.281 --> 00:29:55.509
Yes.
00:29:55.509 --> 00:29:55.923
Yes, she is.
00:29:55.923 --> 00:29:56.847
She definitely knows who she is.
00:29:56.855 --> 00:29:57.294
Yes.
00:29:57.547 --> 00:29:58.539
So we love that.
00:29:58.556 --> 00:29:59.981
We, uh, th- thank God.
00:29:59.986 --> 00:30:00.306
We love a young-
00:30:00.306 --> 00:30:00.519
Yes.
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.759
We we love a young girl that knows-
00:30:01.854 --> 00:30:02.144
Yes
00:30:02.144 --> 00:30:03.748
knows who they are and, and knows what they want.
00:30:04.115 --> 00:30:04.432
Yes.
00:30:04.448 --> 00:30:05.307
And who has drive.
00:30:05.643 --> 00:30:06.137
Yes.
00:30:06.137 --> 00:30:09.618
So I thought it was kind of humbling to have that excluded from a group.
00:30:09.618 --> 00:30:10.084
I think we-
00:30:10.178 --> 00:30:10.373
Yeah
00:30:10.373 --> 00:30:19.300
you know, I, I don't want it for her, but it's a good feeling to have in your life so you can understand the energy of, well, am I, am I accepted here or not accepted here?
00:30:19.459 --> 00:30:19.680
Right.
00:30:19.682 --> 00:30:26.278
Because you can tell when you walk into a room on who's going to accept you and who's friendly or who might take a little bit longer to accept you.
00:30:26.278 --> 00:30:30.728
So I think learning those skills now and people reading is extremely important.
00:30:30.794 --> 00:30:31.068
Yeah.
00:30:31.237 --> 00:30:33.161
So it's gotten, gotten me by.
00:30:33.784 --> 00:30:44.699
When, and when we, when, as we're talking about bullying, nobody ever wants the intense bullying, but this is the bullying, as you're explaining, this is okay, I think, because yes, it is gonna teach her-
00:30:45.022 --> 00:30:45.179
Sure
00:30:45.179 --> 00:30:45.953
those lessons.
00:30:45.953 --> 00:30:48.896
So we'll call it, well, bullying quotes, but it's not really bullying.
00:30:48.896 --> 00:30:50.124
It's just lessons of like-
00:30:50.131 --> 00:30:51.605
They're not into being friends with her.
00:30:51.605 --> 00:30:52.144
She's not the-
00:30:52.144 --> 00:30:52.320
That's fine
00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:53.750
kind of person they would be friends with.
00:30:53.750 --> 00:30:55.657
But in her mind, it felt like bullying.
00:30:55.657 --> 00:30:59.414
But they're not calling her, texting her on her social media.
00:30:59.422 --> 00:30:59.819
Okay.
00:30:59.936 --> 00:31:04.369
So nothing that's invasive because I do have all of her social media as well that I can access.
00:31:04.369 --> 00:31:04.752
Okay.
00:31:04.788 --> 00:31:06.645
So no- nothing like that happening there.
00:31:06.931 --> 00:31:07.351
Good.
00:31:07.471 --> 00:31:11.067
So It's just people she wouldn't wanna be friends with anyways.
00:31:11.067 --> 00:31:12.267
Yeah, you don't wanna be friends with them anyways.
00:31:12.267 --> 00:31:14.313
I'm like, "They're gonna be on drugs by senior year-"
00:31:14.338 --> 00:31:14.476
Yeah.
00:31:14.476 --> 00:31:15.346
if they're not already."
00:31:15.402 --> 00:31:15.807
Yeah.
00:31:15.807 --> 00:31:16.557
Yeah.
00:31:16.557 --> 00:31:17.125
You're like, "You don't-"
00:31:17.125 --> 00:31:19.637
Your parents care about you and love you very, very much.
00:31:20.023 --> 00:31:21.406
Yeah, you don't, you don't need this then.
00:31:21.431 --> 00:31:21.733
Yeah.
00:31:21.935 --> 00:31:22.595
You're fine.
00:31:22.635 --> 00:31:22.891
Yes.
00:31:22.891 --> 00:31:24.363
And they might like you later.
00:31:24.363 --> 00:31:25.020
You never know.
00:31:25.376 --> 00:31:25.644
People are weird.
00:31:25.644 --> 00:31:27.963
Maybe you're annoying to them because you're so happy and sweet and kind.
00:31:27.963 --> 00:31:31.990
Sweet, kind, happy people annoy unhappy people.
00:31:31.990 --> 00:31:32.009
They do.
00:31:32.009 --> 00:31:32.311
They do.
00:31:32.311 --> 00:31:33.228
They do.
00:31:33.228 --> 00:31:33.711
So-
00:31:33.711 --> 00:31:37.933
It's true… Katiuscia: as you're-- We same… I mean, we grew up in the same generation Yeah
00:31:37.933 --> 00:31:46.067
and the same, like, lifestyle and I guess, the normalcy of not having social media, not even knowing what-
00:31:46.067 --> 00:31:46.106
Yeah
00:31:46.106 --> 00:31:47.597
a cellphone was for, you know, until-
00:31:47.597 --> 00:31:48.299
The good old days.
00:31:48.368 --> 00:31:51.817
Yeah, until Zack Morris popped out with one on "Saved by the Bell," the brick.
00:31:51.817 --> 00:32:08.340
But do you think, I guess even with your own friends, like other friends of yours, not in industry, not in your industry- Do you find that social media for adults, do you think that that's done a number to us as well?
00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:09.549
Oh, for sure.
00:32:09.602 --> 00:32:09.924
Yeah.
00:32:10.068 --> 00:32:10.384
Yeah.
00:32:10.384 --> 00:32:12.276
I would, I would think so.
00:32:12.281 --> 00:32:15.277
In terms of, in terms of the confidence aspect or lack of, because-
00:32:15.277 --> 00:32:16.660
Well, yeah, because think about it.
00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:20.380
Everybody, like the whole Kim Kardashian, everybody wanted to look like Kim Kardashian.
00:32:20.380 --> 00:32:25.654
I If I had another bride in that showed me a Kim Kardashian picture, I'm like, "What are… You, you're blonde hair and blue eyes."
00:32:25.699 --> 00:32:25.900
Oh.
00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:26.746
"You look nothing like her."
00:32:26.778 --> 00:32:28.048
It's not gonna, it's not gonna work.
00:32:28.767 --> 00:32:31.428
But yeah, it kinda gaslit everyone to get the big butt, the big lips.
00:32:31.428 --> 00:32:31.772
Yeah.
00:32:31.856 --> 00:32:32.357
You know?
00:32:32.357 --> 00:32:34.671
All of those little details and, right?
00:32:34.671 --> 00:32:36.429
Then people started getting dysmorphia.
00:32:36.429 --> 00:32:40.105
I mean, women our age just trying to compare themselves to other women if they were into-
00:32:40.151 --> 00:32:40.429
Yeah
00:32:40.429 --> 00:32:42.107
comparing themselves to other women that way.
00:32:42.675 --> 00:32:43.430
I think it's-
00:32:43.439 --> 00:32:43.727
And not-
00:32:43.952 --> 00:32:51.813
I think I'm in a weird place in my head where I almost don't remember what it was like before we had all this accessibility online.
00:32:52.147 --> 00:32:53.404
We had fashion magazines.
00:32:53.419 --> 00:32:53.866
We did have fashion magazines.
00:32:53.866 --> 00:32:54.742
We had Vogue.
00:32:54.742 --> 00:32:55.063
We had Vogue.
00:32:55.063 --> 00:32:55.884
We had Elle.
00:32:55.884 --> 00:32:57.138
We had all those.
00:32:57.138 --> 00:32:57.751
Those were ours.
00:32:57.751 --> 00:32:58.176
And that was it.
00:32:58.277 --> 00:32:58.512
Yeah.
00:32:58.512 --> 00:32:59.169
And that, okay.
00:32:59.172 --> 00:32:59.393
Yeah.
00:32:59.393 --> 00:33:00.955
'Cause I'm just like, what was it like?
00:33:00.955 --> 00:33:09.050
You know, you, you go through these moments and these periods in life where it's so great, and I mean, I definitely remember loving the '90s and wanting the '90s back.
00:33:09.050 --> 00:33:09.673
Like, I want-
00:33:09.682 --> 00:33:10.253
For sure.
00:33:10.253 --> 00:33:11.323
I'd like it back today
00:33:11.326 --> 00:33:11.700
that ease.
00:33:11.707 --> 00:33:12.103
Yes.
00:33:12.141 --> 00:33:12.881
The ease.
00:33:12.891 --> 00:33:13.153
I'll take it.
00:33:13.157 --> 00:33:14.681
The, yeah, right, right now.
00:33:14.681 --> 00:33:14.998
Like-
00:33:15.051 --> 00:33:16.415
Minus a few political events.
00:33:16.605 --> 00:33:16.858
Right.
00:33:16.873 --> 00:33:17.594
Minus some, yeah.
00:33:17.934 --> 00:33:18.397
Right, right, right.
00:33:18.397 --> 00:33:18.750
Right.
00:33:18.750 --> 00:33:19.202
Minus a few things.
00:33:19.202 --> 00:33:19.714
Minus some things.
00:33:19.714 --> 00:33:19.932
Yeah.
00:33:19.932 --> 00:33:28.722
But I think just in general, the way of life, the just, it's So I think that's why we're all so nostalgic for a time that no longer exists.
00:33:28.757 --> 00:33:29.056
Well, yeah.
00:33:29.070 --> 00:33:29.651
Because-
00:33:29.932 --> 00:33:30.178
Yes
00:33:30.178 --> 00:33:31.219
it was easier.
00:33:31.219 --> 00:33:34.503
There, I mean, yes, there was bullying and there was judgment and there was-
00:33:34.512 --> 00:33:34.855
For sure.
00:33:34.894 --> 00:33:40.686
But you knew where you stood with someone, because typically you'd either hear it from someone else or they'd come directly.
00:33:40.686 --> 00:33:43.494
Like, you would know before it made its round online or something.
00:33:43.494 --> 00:33:46.430
Well, and it kinda happened from, like, a younger age with bullying, if you think about it.
00:33:46.430 --> 00:33:46.526
Right.
00:33:46.526 --> 00:33:49.721
Like, our generation faced it from a very young age on up.
00:33:49.894 --> 00:33:50.237
Yeah.
00:33:50.474 --> 00:33:52.837
And so it just kinda became, I mean, almost, like, funny.
00:33:53.034 --> 00:33:53.395
Right.
00:33:53.499 --> 00:33:53.871
Right?
00:33:53.871 --> 00:33:54.313
Like-
00:33:54.557 --> 00:33:54.871
Right.
00:33:55.196 --> 00:33:56.234
I mean, really not
funny.
00:33:56.234 --> 00:34:01.825
I mean, at one point I was getting rhinoplasty and boobs 'cause I was flat-chested with what I thought to be a not very nice nose.
00:34:01.832 --> 00:34:02.786
You have a very nice nose.
00:34:02.970 --> 00:34:03.779
It was very nice.
00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:06.539
So did the plastic surgeon that did not do surgery on it told me that.
00:34:06.578 --> 00:34:06.800
Good.
00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:07.785
Yeah.
00:34:07.785 --> 00:34:12.827
I was like, "I don't know what's wrong with you." I was like, "I got called pig face for so long that I think I might need a rhinoplasty."
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.483
Aw.
00:34:13.547 --> 00:34:14.373
He's like, "Absolutely not."
00:34:14.594 --> 00:34:15.094
Yeah.
00:34:15.094 --> 00:34:15.657
See-
00:34:15.657 --> 00:34:17.117
"Let's do a psyche eval on you real quick."
00:34:17.132 --> 00:34:17.661
There you go.
00:34:17.661 --> 00:34:20.289
Let's, let's start there, and then we can-
00:34:20.295 --> 00:34:20.304
But-
00:34:20.304 --> 00:34:20.949
go from there.
00:34:20.989 --> 00:34:21.550
I mean, yeah.
00:34:21.550 --> 00:34:25.342
I think our generation was just fashion magazines where we compared ourselves to-
00:34:25.947 --> 00:34:26.297
Yeah … you know,
00:34:27.085 --> 00:34:28.867
the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
00:34:28.916 --> 00:34:29.248
That makes
00:34:30.001 --> 00:34:30.010
sense.
00:34:30.010 --> 00:34:31.425
Yeah.
00:34:31.425 --> 00:34:32.911
That made- Kate Moss days
00:34:33.014 --> 00:34:33.632
Oh, man.
00:34:33.632 --> 00:34:33.641
Kate-
00:34:33.641 --> 00:34:34.456
Remember all those gorgeous models?
00:34:34.507 --> 00:34:36.757
Yeah, well, Kate Moss was a little thin, but- Yeah … I sure- I wanted to
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.226
be her.
00:34:37.398 --> 00:34:38.146
Everyone did.
00:34:38.146 --> 00:34:38.884
I think everyone did.
00:34:38.884 --> 00:34:39.092
I-
00:34:39.092 --> 00:34:39.900
She was all over my wall.
00:34:39.969 --> 00:34:44.599
I don't think I wanted to be… I was like, "She's so thin." And didn't she always have a cigarette in, like, all of her jeans ads?
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:45.786
She did always have a ciggy.
00:34:45.786 --> 00:34:46.344
Yep.
00:34:46.590 --> 00:34:46.791
Yeah.
00:34:46.795 --> 00:34:47.269
Yes.
00:34:47.364 --> 00:34:48.231
She was a vibe.
00:34:48.231 --> 00:34:49.007
Kate Moss was a vibe.
00:34:49.010 --> 00:34:49.800
I loved her.
00:34:49.878 --> 00:34:50.164
She she was-
00:34:50.586 --> 00:34:52.887
But I will tell you, when Anna Nicole Smith came out-
00:34:52.958 --> 00:34:57.891
Oh, yeah… Jennifer: I was a bit more so I was like, "Oh, there are other women out there." Yes.
00:34:57.905 --> 00:34:59.018
I don't need to weigh-
00:34:59.206 --> 00:34:59.398
Yeah
00:34:59.398 --> 00:35:02.614
130 pounds and get my body to that, which I'm athletically built.
00:35:02.614 --> 00:35:03.615
It just wouldn't have worked.
00:35:03.615 --> 00:35:03.626
Right.
00:35:04.085 --> 00:35:04.688
I tried.
00:35:04.688 --> 00:35:05.625
It looked okay.
00:35:05.625 --> 00:35:07.922
Then I really didn't have boobs.
00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:08.210
Yeah.
00:35:08.210 --> 00:35:09.385
You're like, "It just wasn't sustainable."
00:35:09.385 --> 00:35:16.932
But it was just more of a body type that matched what my body type was without having to, like, you know, work it till… It just wasn't my body type.
00:35:16.936 --> 00:35:17.264
Yeah.
00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:18.463
But I wanted to be Kate Moss.
00:35:19.503 --> 00:35:20.179
Wow.
00:35:20.213 --> 00:35:20.833
I did.
00:35:20.833 --> 00:35:22.012
She was my favorite.
00:35:22.063 --> 00:35:22.795
Oh, wow.
00:35:22.795 --> 00:35:23.900
Anna Nicole, though.
00:35:23.900 --> 00:35:25.144
Anna Nicole was next level.
00:35:25.144 --> 00:35:26.956
I was in college when Anna Nicole was-
00:35:26.956 --> 00:35:27.134
Yes
00:35:27.148 --> 00:35:34.134
real, real popular, and I remember I dressed up as her for a Halloween, and I had, like- Oh, wait.
00:35:34.134 --> 00:35:35.322
I would love to see that.
00:35:35.492 --> 00:35:36.072
It was a good one.
00:35:36.072 --> 00:35:37.257
I had, like, a blonde wig.
00:35:37.257 --> 00:35:39.733
I had, like, a ju- like, a pink Juicy track suit.
00:35:39.733 --> 00:35:40.697
Did you take pictures?
00:35:41.192 --> 00:35:42.525
There are pictures somewhere.
00:35:42.525 --> 00:35:42.807
I would love to see that.
00:35:42.807 --> 00:35:47.405
And I had this purse with, like, a little handbag with a, I think it was Marilyn Monroe on it.
00:35:47.532 --> 00:35:47.806
Yes.
00:35:47.806 --> 00:35:51.603
And I had, like, hot tamales and cookies and stuff just sticking out of it.
00:35:51.603 --> 00:35:52.469
It was a great-
00:35:52.775 --> 00:35:53.746
Was that, like-
00:35:54.402 --> 00:35:58.672
was a great-… Jennifer: not Guess day costume… Jennifer: Guess, when she No.
00:35:58.672 --> 00:36:03.905
Was it further- I think it was, like, when Anna Nicole… Do you remember, did you watch "SNL" back in the day-
00:36:03.914 --> 00:36:04.101
Yes,
00:36:04.101 --> 00:36:04.813
of course… when it was so funny?
00:36:04.813 --> 00:36:14.954
So there was a Smurfette skit that we're all… It was Smurfette, but it was, basically an Anna Nicole Smurfette, so she was, like, blonde- and a little heavier, and she was just… The whole talk was like, "Oh."
00:36:14.954 --> 00:36:17.963
Okay, it was later days when she started eating snacks.
00:36:18.003 --> 00:36:18.431
Yes.
00:36:18.431 --> 00:36:19.737
There we It was Snack Anna Nicole.
00:36:19.737 --> 00:36:20.373
I was, yeah.
00:36:20.378 --> 00:36:21.621
When she was, like, in the Caribbean.
00:36:21.789 --> 00:36:22.179
Yes.
00:36:22.182 --> 00:36:22.610
That one.
00:36:22.784 --> 00:36:23.211
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:36:23.215 --> 00:36:23.224
yeah.
00:36:23.224 --> 00:36:23.956
That's Snack Anna Nicole.
00:36:23.963 --> 00:36:24.443
Snack Anna Nicole.
00:36:24.443 --> 00:36:24.590
I
00:36:24.594 --> 00:36:26.519
figured it was Snack, Snack
Anna Nicole-
00:36:26.521 --> 00:36:26.918
Yeah
00:36:26.923 --> 00:36:27.541
with the purse.
00:36:27.541 --> 00:36:27.949
Yeah,
00:36:27.952 --> 00:36:28.211
yeah.
00:36:28.211 --> 00:36:28.907
With the purse.
00:36:28.907 --> 00:36:29.829
It was, it was great.
00:36:29.829 --> 00:36:35.983
But so I mean, I think the beauty standards from when we were younger and just growing up and-
00:36:35.985 --> 00:36:36.324
Yeah
00:36:36.405 --> 00:36:38.782
coming into adulthood were so different.
00:36:38.782 --> 00:36:47.661
And so in terms of how you're being confident with things, it's… We were learning kind of as we needed to learn, I think.
00:36:47.661 --> 00:36:48.166
If you-
00:36:48.190 --> 00:36:48.644
Agreed.
00:36:48.688 --> 00:36:49.541
You know what I mean?
00:36:49.545 --> 00:36:49.672
Yes.
00:36:49.672 --> 00:36:49.958
Yes.
00:36:49.958 --> 00:36:54.831
You kind of went… If you had a special event is the only time you had a makeup artist really touch it.
00:36:54.831 --> 00:36:59.699
Like, if you were in a wedding probably in the '90s, it's if you were in a wedding, if you had-
00:36:59.856 --> 00:37:00.240
Mary Kay
00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:01.135
some big event.
00:37:01.135 --> 00:37:02.461
I mean, yeah.
00:37:02.461 --> 00:37:07.346
But I'm just thinking of what girls have now, and it's everyone is an media-
00:37:07.356 --> 00:37:07.840
Oh, for sure
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.831
teaching you how to do your makeup.
00:37:08.831 --> 00:37:13.880
I wouldn't even imagine that I could understand, like-
00:37:14.121 --> 00:37:17.989
Oh, yeah… Katiuscia: I can't even do young girls do their makeup.
00:37:17.989 --> 00:37:18.764
And I don't wanna learn.
00:37:18.764 --> 00:37:20.766
And that's when the industry changed, too.
00:37:20.942 --> 00:37:20.976
Yeah.
00:37:20.976 --> 00:37:24.829
Everybody was a know-it-all In makeup.
00:37:24.894 --> 00:37:25.141
Yeah.
00:37:25.224 --> 00:37:26.327
That got exhausting too.
00:37:26.327 --> 00:37:27.391
That was another part of it.
00:37:27.518 --> 00:37:27.889
Okay.
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:29.001
And like-
00:37:29.001 --> 00:37:29.123
That makes sense
00:37:29.123 --> 00:37:32.532
you just watched a 30-minute YouTube video, and I've got like 15-
00:37:32.543 --> 00:37:32.818
Years
00:37:32.818 --> 00:37:33.762
20 years on you?
00:37:33.956 --> 00:37:34.155
Yeah.
00:37:34.155 --> 00:37:35.478
Yeah, but they really-
00:37:35.478 --> 00:37:36.146
But don't listen to me.
00:37:36.146 --> 00:37:36.684
It's okay.
00:37:36.684 --> 00:37:37.199
What do I know?
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:37.947
But they really knew.
00:37:37.947 --> 00:37:38.697
Like they, I mean-
00:37:38.697 --> 00:37:39.469
No, they were good
00:37:39.507 --> 00:37:40.869
those, those girls like get on, and-
00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:41.018
Yeah
00:37:41.018 --> 00:37:42.492
I'm just, I'm amazed-
00:37:42.608 --> 00:37:42.847
Yes
00:37:42.847 --> 00:37:44.313
because I just think, "Oh, wow."
00:37:44.454 --> 00:37:49.041
Oh, I had a friend that's living her best life right now, and she was one of the first YouTubers.
00:37:49.041 --> 00:37:54.639
She started doing like pricing and then started doing makeup videos, and that-
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:54.650
Wow
00:37:54.650 --> 00:37:57.724
was that whole like when Jeffree Star years Star … years ago.
00:37:57.724 --> 00:37:58.420
Years ago, yes.
00:37:58.420 --> 00:38:00.755
She was friends with him for a hot minute.
00:38:00.755 --> 00:38:07.351
Um, but yeah, she, she, yeah, she just started I lost started lost my train of thought thinking about her.
00:38:07.675 --> 00:38:07.940
That's-
00:38:07.981 --> 00:38:10.021
I was like, "I should've done those dang YouTube videos-"
00:38:10.052 --> 00:38:10.490
I mean, if you did those-
00:38:10.490 --> 00:38:11.577
when she called to say to do it."
00:38:11.766 --> 00:38:12.804
If you did those YouTube videos.
00:38:12.804 --> 00:38:13.141
Yeah.
00:38:13.172 --> 00:38:13.606
Yeah.
00:38:13.606 --> 00:38:15.188
Nope, uh, she was one of the first ones.
00:38:15.188 --> 00:38:15.626
Yeah.
00:38:15.806 --> 00:38:16.570
We'd be in a very-
00:38:16.570 --> 00:38:17.527
She was one of the OGs.
00:38:17.766 --> 00:38:21.922
Yeah, we'd be sitting in a very different studio if you, if you had like made it big on-
00:38:21.922 --> 00:38:23.371
We'd be sitting in our makeup studio-
00:38:23.384 --> 00:38:23.505
Yeah
00:38:23.505 --> 00:38:24.742
hopping out to our private jet.
00:38:24.762 --> 00:38:25.623
There we would be.
00:38:25.623 --> 00:38:27.693
That's what would be happening right now.
00:38:27.916 --> 00:38:30.119
That's, that's how it went down for her, and I'm very happy for her.
00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:30.708
Good for her.
00:38:30.728 --> 00:38:31.041
Yeah.
00:38:31.869 --> 00:38:32.273
Yeah.
00:38:32.273 --> 00:38:32.922
I, I don't get it.
00:38:32.922 --> 00:38:34.344
I just couldn't see myself back on camera.
00:38:34.554 --> 00:38:34.936
Yeah.
00:38:34.952 --> 00:38:36.168
But there's that confidence part.
00:38:36.168 --> 00:38:37.385
I didn't like to hear my voice.
00:38:37.385 --> 00:38:39.757
I didn't like to hear my voice back recorded.
00:38:40.748 --> 00:38:42.293
Isn't that an interesting… A lot of people-
00:38:42.304 --> 00:38:43.349
That's what stopped me from it
00:38:43.405 --> 00:38:44.873
a lot, that's a lot of people, though.
00:38:44.885 --> 00:38:44.981
Yeah.
00:38:44.981 --> 00:38:47.467
That's a lot of people who are like, "I don't like how I talk," or, "Is that how I-
00:38:47.469 --> 00:38:47.864
Yes
00:38:47.875 --> 00:38:48.963
sound?" And all the things.
00:38:48.963 --> 00:38:55.331
But I can get on stage and do a trend show at Nordstrom's and talk to hundreds of women, but the thought of recording myself-
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:58.326
Interesting… Jennifer: and playing it Interesting.
00:38:58.326 --> 00:38:58.461
I
00:38:58.461 --> 00:38:59.655
thought I sounded like a dude.
00:38:59.655 --> 00:39:00.721
Like-
00:39:00.721 --> 00:39:01.222
Wow
00:39:01.222
--> 00:39:03.032
I don't have a feminine voice, right?
00:39:03.032 --> 00:39:06.840
So like when I heard myself back, I felt like it sounded very masculine.
00:39:07.201 --> 00:39:07.324
Oh.
00:39:07.342 --> 00:39:08.644
Which why would that even matter?
00:39:08.677 --> 00:39:09.233
I know.
00:39:09.271 --> 00:39:09.885
I have no clue.
00:39:09.972 --> 00:39:10.817
You just have like a-
00:39:10.884 --> 00:39:11.181
No clue
00:39:11.181 --> 00:39:11.856
a thicker-
00:39:11.971 --> 00:39:12.103
Yeah
00:39:12.103 --> 00:39:13.199
it's like a thicker voice.
00:39:13.222 --> 00:39:13.400
Yeah.
00:39:13.402 --> 00:39:14.050
You know what I mean?
00:39:14.050 --> 00:39:14.240
Yes.
00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:16.027
But I, I kinda have a thicker voice too.
00:39:16.027 --> 00:39:16.036
Yeah.
00:39:16.036 --> 00:39:18.237
I don't have a very… When I think of a, like a-
00:39:18.237 --> 00:39:18.460
Feminine, sweet
00:39:18.641 --> 00:39:19.922
super feminine voice, like, "Hi."
00:39:19.922 --> 00:39:20.730
I can on the phone.
00:39:20.907 --> 00:39:22.050
Uh, you can.
00:39:22.050 --> 00:39:22.168
That's,
00:39:22.518 --> 00:39:23.826
Oh Sweetie petie, you heard it.
00:39:23.887 --> 00:39:25.418
That's-- I've, I have very much heard it.
00:39:25.418 --> 00:39:29.617
I had a roommate in college, and she would talk normal.
00:39:29.617 --> 00:39:29.940
Yeah.
00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:33.561
It was just always… And then she'd get on the phone with her boyfriend, and we all would look at each other.
00:39:33.561 --> 00:39:34.608
There were eight of us in a suite.
00:39:34.608 --> 00:39:35.559
It's her phone voice.
00:39:35.653 --> 00:39:37.039
She had her boyfriend phone voice.
00:39:37.045 --> 00:39:37.208
Yeah.
00:39:37.219 --> 00:39:45.086
So it was like, "Oh yeah, let's go here, and let's go get this." And we're just like, "Wait, what?
00:39:45.086 --> 00:39:47.068
What's happening right now?" Like, it gets-
00:39:47.068 --> 00:39:48.331
It's your baby voice for him.
00:39:48.355 --> 00:39:49.288
It's the baby voice.
00:39:49.288 --> 00:39:52.077
And, like I do-- I can do my dog mom voice.
00:39:52.096 --> 00:39:52.306
Yeah.
00:39:52.306 --> 00:39:52.780
You know what I mean?
00:39:52.780 --> 00:40:04.257
A- absolutely any dog that I see, I'm like, "Who's the dog?" But, like, no, I just, I don't… My mom will sometimes tell me, like, "Be nicer with your voice." "Make your voice nicer." And I'm like, "I can't.
00:40:04.257 --> 00:40:04.838
I'm sorry.
00:40:04.838 --> 00:40:05.333
It is what it is."
00:40:05.333 --> 00:40:05.599
Your mom's the sweetest.
00:40:05.601 --> 00:40:05.715
I it's the sweetest.
00:40:05.715 --> 00:40:07.704
I also have the mouth, I have the mouth of a sailor.
00:40:07.717 --> 00:40:07.987
Yep.
00:40:08.007 --> 00:40:08.949
We're not changing it.
00:40:08.949 --> 00:40:09.378
Like it's-
00:40:09.378 --> 00:40:09.389
Yep.
00:40:09.389 --> 00:40:10.760
The dogs are gonna like it no matter what.
00:40:10.780 --> 00:40:11.173
They do.
00:40:11.173 --> 00:40:11.717
They love me.
00:40:11.717 --> 00:40:12.445
They do love you.
00:40:12.469 --> 00:40:23.297
So, but in terms of just, I think, overall confidence and trying to build that, I do feel that at almost 43, it's still a s- it's still a daily-
00:40:23.402 --> 00:40:23.965
For sure
00:40:23.965 --> 00:40:28.409
action and thought process, it's, you have to really try.
00:40:28.409 --> 00:40:28.932
It's a try.
00:40:28.938 --> 00:40:29.097
You do.
00:40:29.097 --> 00:40:29.556
It's an effort.
00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:30.523
Yes.
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:30.902
It's an effort.
00:40:30.902 --> 00:40:35.188
Sadly, I mean, I hate to admit it, but it definitely is an ef- is daily effort-
00:40:35.217 --> 00:40:37.905
Yeah… Jennifer: and affirmations in Yeah.
00:40:38.068 --> 00:40:38.525
Truly.
00:40:38.670 --> 00:40:39.090
Yeah.
00:40:39.106 --> 00:40:39.646
Which is weird.
00:40:39.646 --> 00:40:42.121
You'd think it'll go… Maybe when we're 70, 80.
00:40:42.916 --> 00:40:43.333
Maybe.
00:40:43.333 --> 00:40:44.802
And then we just won't, we just won't care.
00:40:44.811 --> 00:40:45.112
Let's hope.
00:40:45.112 --> 00:40:45.833
hopefully.
00:40:46.155 --> 00:40:46.472
I know.
00:40:46.476 --> 00:40:47.273
We will be that.
00:40:47.273 --> 00:40:53.253
No, but I just think, gosh, it's every day, and even just getting ready in the morning, right?
00:40:53.275 --> 00:40:53.516
Yes.
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:55.719
To be confident enough to leave the house.
00:40:55.731 --> 00:40:55.744
Yes.
00:40:55.753 --> 00:41:03.927
Now, I've embraced this a lot of, um, no makeup wearing this past summer, and that's just because I was having all those eye issues.
00:41:03.927 --> 00:41:09.550
So, I just kind of had to lean in to acceptance of that, because it was like, "Well-"
00:41:09.623 --> 00:41:12.164
You're beautiful, owning the natural beauty.
00:41:12.398 --> 00:41:13.936
I have makeup on today, so that's why.
00:41:13.936 --> 00:41:15.487
Yeah, but still, you're beautiful without it.
00:41:15.487 --> 00:41:16.510
I've seen you without makeup.
00:41:16.931 --> 00:41:17.449
Well, thank you.
00:41:17.449 --> 00:41:17.467
Yeah.
00:41:17.467 --> 00:41:17.713
Gorgeous.
00:41:17.730 --> 00:41:20.074
But even just getting to that point of-
00:41:20.074 --> 00:41:20.652
Yes
00:41:20.998 --> 00:41:22.503
all right, we have no eyelashes.
00:41:22.503 --> 00:41:30.949
We're still gonna just, like, go out and tackle the day, and hope that if I see someone for business, they're not gonna think, "Oh, she doesn't look-"
00:41:31.132 --> 00:41:31.403
Aw.
00:41:31.418 --> 00:41:33.264
I- "… like, put together," you know?
00:41:33.264 --> 00:41:33.289
I,
00:41:33.300 --> 00:41:33.717
yeah, I get it.
00:41:33.869 --> 00:41:33.889
But that's-
00:41:34.215 --> 00:41:34.523
I get
00:41:34.523 --> 00:41:38.402
it a, that's a real thought, because it's like I would never show up to work like that.
00:41:38.931 --> 00:41:38.951
Mm-hmm.
00:41:38.951 --> 00:41:41.016
But in, but it, when I was having eye stuff, I did.
00:41:41.016 --> 00:41:43.396
So, I mean, I had to, 'cause you gotta do what you gotta do.
00:41:43.396 --> 00:41:44.547
I mean, you still got ready a little.
00:41:45.139 --> 00:41:45.768
Today, yes.
00:41:45.773 --> 00:41:46.206
Yeah.
00:41:46.257 --> 00:41:47.592
I mean, yes, but it's way better.
00:41:47.592 --> 00:41:48.489
You weren't doing any makeup?
00:41:49.228 --> 00:41:49.682
I wasn't doing any.
00:41:49.684 --> 00:41:51.137
You weren't doing anything?
00:41:51.228 --> 00:41:53.362
I wasn't doing anything.
00:41:53.579 --> 00:41:54.235
Dang, girl.
00:41:54.326 --> 00:41:54.864
Wait, when my eye,
00:41:54.983 --> 00:41:55.974
Not even face makeup?
00:41:56.378 --> 00:41:57.617
I mean, the, no, there were just-
00:41:57.617 --> 00:41:59.483
Your skin's beautiful… Katiuscia: there were Your skin's gorgeous
00:41:59.483 --> 00:42:01.851
I don't put a ton of- Yeah … face makeup on anyway.
00:42:01.851 --> 00:42:01.875
I know.
00:42:01.875 --> 00:42:07.329
But like, no, when I was real in the dumps with the eyes, 'cause it's been, it was six weeks, right?
00:42:07.329 --> 00:42:07.353
It's-
00:42:07.353 --> 00:42:08.391
It does mess with your psyche.
00:42:08.391 --> 00:42:09.114
It really does.
00:42:09.114 --> 00:42:09.125
It…
00:42:09.172 --> 00:42:09.608
Oh my God.
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:09.833
It does.
00:42:09.846 --> 00:42:12.045
And just to have those breaks, and then it's like-
00:42:12.047 --> 00:42:12.369
Yes
00:42:12.369 --> 00:42:13.621
"Is this ever gonna get better?
00:42:13.621 --> 00:42:21.597
Is, like it ever gonna kind of regulate?" And so, in terms of confidence and learning how to just, in, in every stage that you're at- Mm-hmm … right?
00:42:21.597 --> 00:42:21.608
Yeah.
00:42:21.896 --> 00:42:26.989
Whether I was like, now I've, I've, you know, stress, my mechanism is I don't eat, so I've dropped some weight.
00:42:26.989 --> 00:42:31.817
And then, okay, then, you know, you're not wearing any makeup, so now what do you look like?
00:42:31.817 --> 00:42:32.831
You look sickly.
00:42:32.831 --> 00:42:33.813
Okay?
00:42:34.077 --> 00:42:34.195
Yeah.
00:42:34.208 --> 00:42:34.775
So I was looking-
00:42:34.775 --> 00:42:35.172
I get it
00:42:35.172 --> 00:42:35.445
sickly-
00:42:35.445 --> 00:42:36.065
I get what you're saying
00:42:36.065 --> 00:42:36.295
for a minute.
00:42:36.297 --> 00:42:36.494
Yeah.
00:42:36.507 --> 00:42:43.409
So I think it's just- I feel like at this age, in this stage of life, in this, right-
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:49.442
Yeah… Katiuscia: you talk a it's just new acceptance.
00:42:49.442 --> 00:42:51.570
I feel like confidence is really acceptance.
00:42:51.570 --> 00:42:52.518
Yes, it is.
00:42:52.518 --> 00:42:53.737
100%. That's exactly what it is.
00:42:53.737 --> 00:42:59.592
That would be like my big sis takeaway is that confidence is acceptance in every stage of where you're at.
00:42:59.592 --> 00:43:07.202
And if it's not like full acceptance, it's acceptance with guidelines understanding that you're in the process to do-
00:43:07.202 --> 00:43:07.469
And you're good enough
00:43:07.947 --> 00:43:08.489
and you're good enough.
00:43:08.492 --> 00:43:09.141
You're good enough.
00:43:09.141 --> 00:43:10.320
Good enough for each and every day.
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:16.242
There was a time where I wouldn't leave my house without makeup on, without a proper, I mean, absolute proper outfit.
00:43:16.242 --> 00:43:17.681
Dressed perfectly.
00:43:17.681 --> 00:43:24.998
And then as I hit my 30s and started staying home with Grace, I just, I kinda lost that part of me, which is a person I thought I'd never be.
00:43:24.998 --> 00:43:28.989
I was like, "Ugh, I'll never be Ugg sweatpant girl." No, I was Ugg sweatpant girl, okay?
00:43:28.989 --> 00:43:29.619
I was her.
00:43:30.364 --> 00:43:31.184
She was me.
00:43:31.184 --> 00:43:31.797
I was her-
00:43:31.809 --> 00:43:32.146
Dang it
00:43:32.146 --> 00:43:32.650
and she was me.
00:43:32.704 --> 00:43:36.327
Didn't wanna be her, but I was, and I was k- kind of comfortable, I suppose.
00:43:36.327 --> 00:43:43.414
And then finding that confidence, right, in that new version of myself when Grace doesn't need me at home cooking, cleaning, slaving away, school, this, that, this.
00:43:43.414 --> 00:43:45.688
And then I'm gonna put myself back together again.
00:43:45.903 --> 00:43:46.117
Yeah.
00:43:46.125 --> 00:43:46.407
Right?
00:43:46.407 --> 00:43:49.773
But also having it just be good enough because you're beautiful.
00:43:49.773 --> 00:43:54.072
Like even you catch me on the weekends, I highly doubt you're gonna see me looking like this.
00:43:54.072 --> 00:43:55.422
I might have a baseball hat on.
00:43:55.567 --> 00:43:56.072
Good for you.
00:43:56.201 --> 00:43:58.288
With tinted moisturizer and some lip gloss.
00:43:58.885 --> 00:43:59.244
As you should.
00:43:59.246 --> 00:43:59.898
And that's it.
00:44:00.583 --> 00:44:01.588
And I think that-
00:44:01.710 --> 00:44:01.963
Pretty enough
00:44:01.963 --> 00:44:03.987
good enough is a really good place to end-
00:44:03.987 --> 00:44:04.702
Yes
00:44:04.820 --> 00:44:08.123
this conversation on today because we are gonna go get a cocktail.
00:44:08.173 --> 00:44:08.777
I want that.
00:44:09.001 --> 00:44:09.184
Let's-
00:44:09.217 --> 00:44:09.800
I've missed you.
00:44:09.847 --> 00:44:10.307
Yes.
00:44:10.307 --> 00:44:12.431
So good enough.
00:44:12.657 --> 00:44:13.001
Yes.
00:44:13.025 --> 00:44:13.951
Accept where you're at.
00:44:14.018 --> 00:44:14.601
Yes.
00:44:14.643 --> 00:44:17.813
And always just remember to love love yourself.
00:44:17.813 --> 00:44:25.983
I think in every stage of your life, whether you're struggling with anything, I don't know, that y- you're perceiving not good enough-
00:44:25.983 --> 00:44:25.994
Yeah
00:44:25.994 --> 00:44:26.938
you are good enough.
00:44:26.938 --> 00:44:28.634
Always love yourself
00:44:30.262 --> 00:44:30.840
Yes.
00:44:32.500 --> 00:44:34.262
And with that, cheers.
00:44:34.304 --> 00:44:35.007
Cheers.
00:44:35.340 --> 00:44:36.210
And we're gonna go get a drink.
00:44:36.262 --> 00:44:36.815
Let's go.
