going to talk about her weight loss journey.

00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:22.060
Welcome aboard. Thank you so much for having

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:25.829
me. uh so tell me a little bit about your weight

00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:31.329
loss journey okay where should we start i'll

00:01:31.329 --> 00:01:37.530
start uh when i found out i'm sick because how

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:41.930
it all started like i was eating on uh how should

00:01:41.930 --> 00:01:45.120
i say i wasn't eating healthy for a very long

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.599
time. And I thought I was eating healthy because

00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.579
I was having my vegetables, my fruits and all

00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:53.200
of that stuff. But at the time I was working

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.680
two jobs, so I wasn't getting enough rest. Right.

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.620
And what happened, I got really sick and I ended

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.819
up like going to the doctors and I found out,

00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.599
long story short, I found out I had high cholesterol.

00:02:07.739 --> 00:02:11.939
Right. And I also needed my rest because I wasn't

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:16.120
getting enough rest. And from that day, like

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.259
when he told me everything, what my body is going

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:24.560
through and how unhealthy I was, he gave me,

00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:27.599
he looked at me and he was like, okay, this was

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.439
the reality check for me. He was like, okay,

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.599
I'm going to say one thing to you. If you want

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.580
to live as long to see your son get older, you

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:43.030
need to start making the right decisions. Because

00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:46.650
I was before he said that I was given excuses

00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:50.729
as to why I can't go do this or why I eat this,

00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:52.750
because at the time, like I mentioned before,

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:56.030
I was doing two jobs. So I would eat late in

00:02:56.030 --> 00:02:58.710
the nighttime, like one o 'clock, two o 'clock,

00:02:58.729 --> 00:03:02.289
and then I get back home. So I have enough time

00:03:02.289 --> 00:03:04.330
just to make breakfast, get my son ready to go

00:03:04.330 --> 00:03:07.340
to school. So I wasn't sleeping. Like I could

00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:10.319
probably get around two hours of sleep for like

00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.080
one week. That wasn't good. So that's when I

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.280
started really putting my health first. So I

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.439
quit one of my job, which was the one at night.

00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:24.719
And I really started making that step and going

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.719
forward. And that's how I started off my weight

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.189
loss journey. Yeah, that kind of sounds about

00:03:32.189 --> 00:03:40.789
me. Not in 2020, but that was like my first few

00:03:40.789 --> 00:03:43.990
years as a beginning entrepreneur working 90

00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:47.710
plus hours a week. I highly don't recommend it.

00:03:47.830 --> 00:03:51.210
Yeah, yeah. I'm like a brain dead zombie. Yeah,

00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:54.400
I'm telling you. What's wrong with you? i didn't

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.539
get any sleep yeah and i was so grumpy at that

00:03:59.539 --> 00:04:05.560
time it was unbelievable unbelievable people

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.530
thought i was grumpy now and it's like Like three

00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:12.789
years ago when I was first starting Crazy Fitness

00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:15.789
Guy, I was very, very, very grumpy. I was like,

00:04:15.810 --> 00:04:18.750
I can't figure out any of this crap. Oh, man.

00:04:18.870 --> 00:04:22.949
Yeah, sleep is important. It plays a vital role

00:04:22.949 --> 00:04:27.889
in getting healthy. And now I would say I'm a

00:04:27.889 --> 00:04:33.670
pescatarian, so I don't eat meat. So that's one

00:04:33.670 --> 00:04:37.470
of the things, too, that has helped me along

00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:43.639
my journey. Well, I definitely know sleep is

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.240
very important. That's why I'm on MyPillow. Yes,

00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.079
and I'm talking about the infocommmercial of

00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.759
MyPillow that's only on like 20 times a day.

00:04:56.500 --> 00:05:01.019
And he sends me 25 emails a day too. I didn't

00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:06.579
even sign up for the newsletter. I bet you if

00:05:06.579 --> 00:05:08.879
I signed up for the newsletter, it would be 50

00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:14.019
emails per day. Oh, yikes. That's crazy. I could

00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:17.800
unsubscribe, but I don't know. I just laugh at

00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.800
how many emails they send me. Marketing, I guess.

00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:26.439
Yeah. The annoying marketing. Yeah. What do you

00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:33.439
think? Was it hard for you to change your sleep

00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.569
pattern? It was hard. It was hard for me because

00:05:37.569 --> 00:05:44.810
I was a party person. So I was, my second job

00:05:44.810 --> 00:05:48.750
was also me being a bartender. So my whole body

00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:54.829
was just used to staying up all night and staying

00:05:54.829 --> 00:06:00.490
up all day and just getting a little, a few,

00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:03.689
just getting a little bit of sleep, whether I'm

00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.860
I have the day off doing my daytime job. So what

00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:12.040
I had to do, like I said, I had to quit my bartending

00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:17.279
job. And I started it slowly. I didn't go culture.

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:22.939
There are so many ads these days wherever you

00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:26.579
go. There are ads in movie theaters, on TV, on

00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:29.620
radio, and on billboards. So why would you want

today to just create your own podcast. Because

00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:10.220
it was just not working for me. So I would have

00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:14.399
some nights where it will work. Some nights I'm

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.439
up bright. My eyes are wide open. I could not

00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.759
go to sleep. And taking it step by step, going

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.819
through it. I finally got there. So what I had

00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:31.060
to do too was set up a bedtime. So once it touches

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:35.799
10 o 'clock, my phone is off. Everything is off.

00:08:36.220 --> 00:08:39.879
Nothing. It's just me there ready to go to sleep.

00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:47.360
And I'm up by 5 a .m. But my notifications and

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.639
everything is still the same. It's off until

00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.419
about 7 .30 or 8 p .m. that's how I actually

00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:56.580
got into that routine because if I didn't do

00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:58.559
that I don't know I don't think I'll be able

00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.120
to do it because I'll probably be fidgeting on

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.860
the phone or trying to find something to watch

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:08.399
or try to do something around the house yeah

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.919
I know what you mean by that I usually try to

00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:19.720
uh stay away from uh a lot of uh I don't mind

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:24.500
like using my phone around like uh around like

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:26.700
uh seven eight o 'clock nine o 'clock at night

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:30.559
just texting my friends because uh i don't get

00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:32.340
to see them every single day and because of the

00:09:32.340 --> 00:09:36.799
whole pandemic uh my loves and my close enough

00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.600
much anymore but one was like two hours away

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.179
and the other one was like well closer but not

00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:47.659
as close as he used to which was right next door

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:51.919
to me and so it's not like I see them on boatload

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.960
but a lot of time and so but I try to keep limits

00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.299
on what I can use on my phone I have an app that

00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:05.799
limits like I have hulu on my phone so I can't

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.279
watch hulu during the week and I was like and

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.960
right next to my computer is a tv but I've gotten

00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:18.000
like I'm such a big fan of my schedule that I

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.100
put in my TV time on the weekend. So I was like,

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:24.539
well, if it's not on my schedule, I can't watch

00:10:24.539 --> 00:10:28.740
TV. Wow. I love that. Well, for me, I don't really

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:33.720
watch the TV that much unless I'm catching up

00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.220
on my favorite TV show, which I only have like

00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:42.639
three. So that's what I do. Or unless it's like

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.100
movie time with family time. We'll watch a movie

00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:48.580
on when it's family time. That's the only time

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:53.000
you'll catch me really on the TV. I just program

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.259
myself like that because I realized how much

00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:58.820
time I was wasting before just watching TV all

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:03.919
the time, just wasting time. And yeah, yeah,

00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:14.159
yeah. And yeah, crazy. And how I also started.

00:11:15.049 --> 00:11:17.049
getting on that trap because remember I said

00:11:17.049 --> 00:11:20.490
that my high cholesterol I had that right so

00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:24.549
it's still there but it's getting lower and lower

00:11:24.549 --> 00:11:27.990
each time so I'm getting on a good place I'm

00:11:27.990 --> 00:11:30.529
getting at a good place uh what I had to do like

00:11:30.529 --> 00:11:33.409
I cut out I don't even though I love seafood

00:11:33.409 --> 00:11:37.110
I have to cut out not too much because you know

00:11:37.110 --> 00:11:42.429
shrimp contains a lot of cholesterol and um egg

00:11:42.429 --> 00:11:47.259
I don't eat that much egg i tend to mostly go

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:51.220
with the egg whites and um yeah my vegetables

00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:55.799
and all that stuff so it is it has been a journey

00:11:55.799 --> 00:12:00.320
and creating a routine is a good way to start

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.480
i would say for anybody out there don't just

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.679
my i always say don't go in cold turkey because

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.379
you you are going to fall back and don't think

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:15.419
of getting um losing weight as just um i want

00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:17.539
to lose weight i'm going to jump on a diet make

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:20.519
it a lifestyle i'll always tell my clients to

00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.840
just make it a lifestyle not just oh i need to

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.659
go on a diet i need to lose weight this amount

00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:27.879
of time because you will always fall back into

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:32.419
the old habits right definitely that's how i

00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:36.120
got on my uh uh my lifestyle change i've made

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.840
it a lifestyle i don't i wasn't gonna diet it

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.659
and then go back on whatever i was going back

00:12:42.659 --> 00:12:45.639
on i was like i work out six days a week because

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:52.379
i'm a nerd or i don't have a life you don't uh

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:57.340
so you you said you were a bartender uh do you

00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:03.679
miss it no no i don't because I don't drink anymore

00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:08.779
and I don't miss it at all I think I did all

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:13.620
of that in that lifetime so right now no I don't

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:17.419
miss it and now I had all of that fun stuff then

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:22.889
yeah i honestly i don't see what the fun part

00:13:22.889 --> 00:13:27.409
about alcohol is anyway because anyway my my

00:13:27.409 --> 00:13:30.330
honest what i've been learning in my psych class

00:13:30.330 --> 00:13:35.450
is that uh alcohol just it's just terrible overall

00:13:35.450 --> 00:13:38.049
for all for your health and your mental health

00:13:38.049 --> 00:13:40.049
and everything else and it's like what's the

00:13:40.049 --> 00:13:43.190
point of this and it's like yeah if you're trying

00:13:43.190 --> 00:13:45.629
to become brain dead and that's a good way to

00:13:45.629 --> 00:13:50.250
go but and it's like uh it doesn't sound fun

00:13:50.250 --> 00:13:53.049
for me because it's like oh well you could wake

00:13:53.049 --> 00:13:57.190
up in someone else's house no it doesn't sound

00:13:57.190 --> 00:14:01.509
like i want to do that and and it's just so much

00:14:01.509 --> 00:14:04.629
full of extra sugar and it's like doesn't sound

00:14:04.629 --> 00:14:08.690
like fun you know what i used to make excuses

00:14:08.690 --> 00:14:13.509
because i was a drinker fun story i was a drinker

00:14:13.509 --> 00:14:18.149
i don't think anybody could drink like I could

00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:22.710
drink in my time with my friends. To start my

00:14:22.710 --> 00:14:26.950
job, I have to, my routine back then was two

00:14:26.950 --> 00:14:30.090
tequila shots to start my job. And then throughout

00:14:30.090 --> 00:14:33.029
the night, you know, I'll take shots and do my

00:14:33.029 --> 00:14:36.090
thing just the same. I was, I don't recall getting

00:14:36.090 --> 00:14:40.690
drunk. I will feel nice. And then that was it.

00:14:40.730 --> 00:14:44.169
But I used to say, I don't, I didn't drink like

00:14:44.169 --> 00:14:49.970
Hennessy in, the those type of liquor I would

00:14:49.970 --> 00:14:54.950
mostly tend to go with white like vodka and or

00:14:54.950 --> 00:14:58.970
rum I don't know if you know Jamaican rum they

00:14:58.970 --> 00:15:01.870
say that will help when you have a cold and all

00:15:01.870 --> 00:15:03.809
of that stuff so I used to make excuses like

00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:06.750
oh I'm fine I'm not drinking all those sweet

00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:10.850
liquor I'm good nothing like that but when I

00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:16.899
really educate myself on how it damaging it was

00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:21.220
i was like whoa i really need to take this i

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:25.399
need to get this under control definitely uh

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:31.139
uh i know from yeah definitely i know for myself

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:37.679
uh like i've tasted alcohol um like for my 21st

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:42.860
birthday never liked the taste and like and after

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:48.629
and throughout a few other years like uh not

00:15:48.629 --> 00:15:51.389
when I was younger but I mean like when uh like

00:15:51.389 --> 00:15:57.690
maybe like 23 24 I like I sipped but I never

00:15:57.690 --> 00:16:00.769
like got into it and people's like oh you have

00:16:00.769 --> 00:16:03.610
to have something when you meet someone social

00:16:03.610 --> 00:16:06.669
and it's like I'm still a fun person and still

00:16:06.669 --> 00:16:09.129
funny person to hang out with even if I don't

00:16:09.129 --> 00:16:11.129
drink and it's like I don't need alcohol to be

00:16:11.129 --> 00:16:15.590
funny I know I get that too I lost a couple friends

00:16:15.590 --> 00:16:18.409
for that though because they're like you're no

00:16:18.409 --> 00:16:21.990
fun anymore I'll go to their house and it's like

00:16:21.990 --> 00:16:25.990
when we were allowed to and it's like what do

00:16:25.990 --> 00:16:28.289
you want to drink and I'll probably be like uh

00:16:28.289 --> 00:16:32.129
water or tea and they're like you're no fun anymore

00:16:32.129 --> 00:16:37.029
so they stopped invited me over which was okay

00:16:37.029 --> 00:16:40.769
maybe I need to find some new friends but yeah

00:16:40.769 --> 00:16:44.529
you will I did lose some friends because I stopped

00:16:44.529 --> 00:16:48.830
drinking. I wasn't fun to them anymore. But there

00:16:48.830 --> 00:16:51.929
comes a point in time where some people, not

00:16:51.929 --> 00:16:54.909
everybody is going to be with you for the rest

00:16:54.909 --> 00:16:57.370
of your life. I mean, if you're trying to live

00:16:57.370 --> 00:17:00.490
a better life and elevate yourself, you're going

00:17:00.490 --> 00:17:03.309
to lose friends. And that's the lesson I learned.

00:17:03.409 --> 00:17:08.410
And that's just it. A lot of my friends understand

00:17:08.410 --> 00:17:12.450
why I don't drink. They never said, oh, you're

00:17:12.450 --> 00:17:20.250
no fun. I hang around, I make jokes, and they...

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.160
They still want to hang out with me. That's never

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.339
like, they never pressured me into drinking.

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:31.140
It was like, if you want to try, try. If you

00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:34.519
don't, I don't care. That's good. You have some

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.819
amazing friends. That's awesome. Yeah, I do.

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.519
And I, they actually wanted me, everybody keeps

00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.019
on wanting me to do some, a lot more other stuff

00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:47.640
with my websites and they gave me ideas and whatnot.

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.190
They told me to go into podcasting too. wow that

00:17:52.190 --> 00:17:56.869
is making me extra busy guys appreciate it not

00:17:56.869 --> 00:18:00.990
that i mean i'm not enjoying it but yeah that's

00:18:00.990 --> 00:18:09.349
awesome uh so uh uh what would your uh tips be

00:18:09.349 --> 00:18:14.109
for people who need to change uh uh their lifestyle

00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:18.529
around like like what would step one two three

00:18:18.529 --> 00:18:24.349
and four five and so on being to change in their

00:18:24.349 --> 00:18:30.650
lifestyle yeah okay so from i would say step

00:18:30.650 --> 00:18:36.289
one is find out what works best for you for your

00:18:36.289 --> 00:18:40.849
body type and you that's the main thing because

00:18:40.849 --> 00:18:46.039
not every single lifestyle is the best fit for

00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:49.700
everybody right so we each have our own different

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:53.559
thing like some people wants to be a vegan a

00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.460
vegetarian some people it's it's just find out

00:18:57.460 --> 00:19:01.680
what you want to be then step two you don't don't

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.420
just think it's going to happen overnight take

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:07.980
it step by step so you gradually change the stuff

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:13.420
that you do that's what i did um step three is

00:19:14.410 --> 00:19:18.609
be consistent with it so say what i started doing

00:19:18.609 --> 00:19:23.769
was i had cheat nights so i would have like wednesday

00:19:23.769 --> 00:19:27.950
or friday where i will probably eat pizza and

00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:31.109
something while i was transitioning into that

00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:35.390
into my pescatarian lifestyle so i would do that

00:19:35.390 --> 00:19:39.660
i will have cheat nights and until It's just

00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:47.039
become my lifestyle, right? And then step four,

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:54.759
I would say develop a routine because in order

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:58.079
to live that healthy lifestyle, I believe you

00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.579
have to have a routine, right? Because you can't

00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:03.779
be all over the place like, oh, I forgot to work

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:06.440
out today or, oh, I forgot to eat this. And,

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:08.980
oh, I didn't do that. So it's like you're all

00:20:08.980 --> 00:20:12.019
over the place. So I would say set up a routine

00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:18.180
for yourself, like for your lifestyle. And step,

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.579
I'm at step five now. If it is a step five, no

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:27.779
pressure. Yeah. And I would say portion control.

00:20:29.289 --> 00:20:33.410
A lot of us, we tend to not have that portion

00:20:33.410 --> 00:21:00.339
control is like we tend to. access to our free

the show i'm hungry give me all but portion control

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:33.200
please yes i believe portion control is one of

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.579
the major part in getting losing weight and get

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:41.019
into a healthy lifestyle a tablespoon is basically

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:46.839
like an eyeball full and also staying hydrated

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:52.319
water is so important water drink lots of water

00:21:52.319 --> 00:22:01.859
yeah i never leave mine i love water Oh, I have

00:22:01.859 --> 00:22:07.759
mine too. Here we go. So always hydrate it. There

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:15.180
you go. 32 ounces. I only had to drink four of

00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:19.759
them. Yeah. And you can also find a support group,

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.980
you know, lots of support. It helps. I find where

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:26.700
it helps a lot. If you're surrounded by the like

00:22:26.700 --> 00:22:29.859
-minded people, it will help. So on those days

00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:32.460

I can't get, I can't go to the gym right now.

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.140
No, just starting out. You'll have that support.

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:43.980

00:22:52.450 --> 00:22:58.069
fun. I'm active periodically when I have time

00:22:58.069 --> 00:23:03.029
to go to join, to be active in the group. It's

00:23:03.029 --> 00:23:06.509
a hectic schedule that I have, so I'm here and

00:23:06.509 --> 00:23:11.930
there, and I pop out of everywhere. That's awesome.

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:20.819
You run your own business. Tell me a little bit

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:26.140
about that. Okay, so I am a life coach. I do

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:31.119
wellness coaching too, and I'm also a podcaster.

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:34.319
So my life coaching, I focus on helping people

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:40.299
to improve self -love, identifying goals, and

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:43.829
living their best life. And also the weight loss,

00:23:44.049 --> 00:23:47.069
the wellness coaching comes into play too. I

00:23:47.069 --> 00:23:50.390
used to do that full time, but I still do it,

00:23:50.410 --> 00:23:56.069
but only if the client requests it. So I'm not

00:23:56.069 --> 00:23:59.269
like out there, yay, let's do this, all that.

00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:07.609
But I do do that sometimes. Do you ever feel

00:24:07.609 --> 00:24:12.519
like... Do you ever get tired of your entrepreneurial

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:17.779
life? Okay. I'm going to be dead honest with

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:22.599
you. In the beginning, yes. I was like, I can't

00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.660
do this. I can't do this. No, I can't do this.

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:30.160
I want to go back. I will go back to work. And

00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.000
then when I started thinking about going back

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.059
to work for somebody, I was like, no, I can't

00:24:34.059 --> 00:24:36.170
work for somebody. I don't want to work for people.

00:24:36.210 --> 00:24:39.269
I can do this. I can do this. So I did have that

00:24:39.269 --> 00:24:43.170
struggling in the beginning, but now I love it.

00:24:43.190 --> 00:24:46.869
You know, I'm enjoying the process and I'm enjoying

00:24:46.869 --> 00:24:49.490
the journey because I'm learning so much. I'm

00:24:49.490 --> 00:24:53.490
meeting different people. I'm getting better

00:24:53.490 --> 00:24:57.730
every day. I love it. I wouldn't, I don't regret

00:24:57.730 --> 00:25:00.390
making that decision. Okay, you can do this.

00:25:00.509 --> 00:25:07.680
Go for it, Kathy. Yeah, I definitely, there's

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:12.299
some days where I wish I, I wouldn't say wish,

00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:17.200
there's some days I kind of regret starting being

00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:20.319
an entrepreneur. And there's other days where

00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:23.720
I really, really enjoy it. Like, I really like

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:28.000
the podcasting aspect, but running the whole

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:32.200
website gets really, really tiring after a while.

00:25:33.049 --> 00:25:37.809
and uh but and it gets tiring from what other

00:25:37.809 --> 00:25:42.430
people tell me is they always says like but when

00:25:42.430 --> 00:25:47.190
i when i say like oh it'd be nice if i if i was

00:25:47.190 --> 00:25:53.109
being able to uh uh generate more money to um

00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:57.240
pay a lot my bills and it's like oh but you could

00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.279
always get a job and it's like yeah I know I

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.339
could always get a job but you know I don't want

00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:05.480
to work for another person and it's like I've

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:10.720
been hearing my brother's boss they are being

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:13.940
like totally hard on him that like the first

00:26:13.940 --> 00:26:18.900
virtual client that they're teaching and yet

00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:22.140
they're getting they're very impatient and it's

00:26:22.140 --> 00:26:26.099
like Jeez, that sounds really terrible. And I

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:30.740
was like, I'm sorry, but I've never been a fan

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:34.539
of bosses. And I had my fair share of bosses,

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:37.759
but they weren't full -time, they were just part

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.859
-time jobs. But it's like, gee, I'd rather be

00:26:41.859 --> 00:26:44.380
my own boss. I'd rather be on the road when I

00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:46.819
want to be on the road. I want to be speaking

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:50.039
at events that I want to speak at. oh, you have

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:52.359
to show up to here, you have to be here at this

00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.099
time. I mean, obviously I'll show up at the event

00:26:56.099 --> 00:26:59.500
at the time, but I don't want to be told what

00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:02.359
to do. And everybody's like, oh, well, you could

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:05.180
always get a job and get money. And it's like,

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.839
yeah, I know, but that's the, I wouldn't say

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.480
easy way out because the pandemic is not easy,

00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:14.480
but I was like, I don't want to be like everyone

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:19.740
else. Yeah. That's my mindset. Well, ever since

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:23.920
I was a little girl, I was always when I was

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.940
playing, I was always the one to be like, OK,

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.000
I'm in charge of this company and I was always

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.099
playing that role. So it was always in me. Even

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:38.099
when my parents had their business, I was always

00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:41.960
focused. I want to be in it. I want to know what's

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.079
going on. I want to know how this work, how that

00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.019
work. You know, I was I was just always that

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:51.190
type of person. And when I was working, I was

00:27:51.190 --> 00:27:56.910
always in the position where I was either a manager

00:27:56.910 --> 00:28:00.690
or I was in control of a team or I just love

00:28:00.690 --> 00:28:03.329
that position. It's not that I love to boss or

00:28:03.329 --> 00:28:07.670
anything. I just love to be in a position where

00:28:07.670 --> 00:28:09.930
I can help people. And I'm also learning from

00:28:09.930 --> 00:28:14.640
people and I'm not being told. indirectly okay

00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.299
you have to do this you have to be here at a

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:20.380
specific time and do this and no I just did not

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:25.160
like that aspect of it but the other part I did

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.180
I was just it was just always in me I used to

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:32.019
even sell my cell phones at school like when

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:34.660
I don't need them anymore I'd be like okay I'm

00:28:34.660 --> 00:28:37.400
selling this cell phone so I'll always look for

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:42.779
things to make money that's just me It's funny

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:46.380
that you said that because now looking back at

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:52.839
it, there's times where when I was hanging out

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.140
with friends or extended family members, I was

00:28:56.140 --> 00:29:01.420
always like, we might play games and we were

00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:04.619
always, I was like, I'm in charge of this business.

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:09.250
Yeah. I forget some of the absurd stuff I came

00:29:09.250 --> 00:29:15.630
up with, but I was like, I think this would be

00:29:15.630 --> 00:29:20.269
literally, at the time I didn't know that, but

00:29:20.269 --> 00:29:23.849
I was like, man, I could do this. And when I

00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:29.630
see some of the top companies out there with

00:29:29.630 --> 00:29:32.769
people who think that they're above everyone

00:29:32.769 --> 00:29:36.190
else, I was like, oh, I can get away with. this

00:29:36.190 --> 00:29:39.490
or that and it's like gee you know I could be

00:29:39.490 --> 00:29:42.069
a I could do a better job than that and it's

00:29:42.069 --> 00:29:44.470
like I was like I'm like I want to do something

00:29:44.470 --> 00:29:49.009
stupid like that yeah I always say like I would

00:29:49.009 --> 00:29:54.630
never want to become somebody to be mean at anybody

00:29:54.630 --> 00:29:57.730
because it's just a horrible feeling because

00:29:57.730 --> 00:30:01.230
I know how it feels to have someone talk down

00:30:01.230 --> 00:30:05.289
to you because I used to work with someone who

00:30:05.769 --> 00:30:08.890
did that but then i left because i was like i'm

00:30:08.890 --> 00:30:12.809
not gonna put up with this no way jose but yeah

00:30:12.809 --> 00:30:15.589
it's it's so sad that you do have people like

00:30:15.589 --> 00:30:20.509
that but it's just it's beyond them right it

00:30:20.509 --> 00:30:26.410
it goes way beyond what they're saying that's

00:30:26.410 --> 00:30:32.269
for sure especially uh yeah bosses can be very

00:30:32.269 --> 00:30:37.799
very tough and yeah it's just their thinking

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.519
once you figure out their thinking and it's always

00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.819
something that drives them to do or think like

00:30:43.819 --> 00:30:47.180
that or act like that they're just always whether

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:50.940
it's a limited beliefs and that's just how they

00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:54.599
create and do their thing i've gotten to that

00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.220
level where i'm like okay i understand it's like

00:30:58.220 --> 00:31:03.359
they just have something going on you know sometimes

00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:10.460
they just need a hug yeah really so where do

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:14.400
you see your what do you see yourself doing in

00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:26.240
10 years 10 years I see myself in Dubai building

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:31.140
another business that's where I see myself in

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:37.220
Dubai Birth in another business. Yeah. Well,

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:40.640
I might as well share mine then. Yeah. What's

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:45.599
yours? Mine probably would probably be speaking

00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:52.359
at huge venues, probably like a few hundred thousand

00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.279
people in one place. And obviously that's not

00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.859
during the pandemic. wow yeah well hopefully

00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:04.059
it's gone i have faith that it would not be around

00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:10.059
so yeah and you will be speaking and uh and i

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:14.039

see myself uh also uh speaking virtually uh at

00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:22.160
