- 0:31Speaker 3: And it has been quite the crazy past few weeks.
- 0:36Speaker 3: We have had just interview after interview. We've been traveling,
- 0:41Speaker 3: we've been doing like live interviews, so we've been really
- 0:45Speaker 3: really busy.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a bit crazy, I have to say,
- 0:49Speaker 2: just and we love it. It just it's a lot
- 0:52Speaker 2: so and it's a good thing, right it is.
- 0:55Speaker 3: It's a good thing. I like being busy, but I
- 0:58Speaker 3: also like being home and relaxing and not having to
- 1:02Speaker 3: go anywhere. So this past week I had the a
- 1:07Speaker 3: cardiology appointment. I had to go for a test and
- 1:12Speaker 3: right when I walked in, the girl's like, we can't
- 1:15Speaker 3: do the test, and I said, well why not. She's like,
- 1:18Speaker 3: your arms don't extend so they can't put the IV in.
- 1:22Speaker 3: And I said, listen, I've had like multiple surgeries. I've
- 1:26Speaker 3: had tests done before. Like there's that's just an excuse.
- 1:31Speaker 3: So I said, listen, you know I took the sixty
- 1:35Speaker 3: milligrams of pregmo zone and benadirl. I haven't slept because
- 1:41Speaker 3: premno zone keeps you up at night. So yeah, I
- 1:45Speaker 3: was just I was a mess. So the girl asks
- 1:49Speaker 3: her supervisor, and her supervisor says, yeah, we could do it.
- 1:52Speaker 3: You know, they put the IV in me, they get
- 1:54Speaker 3: me all sut up, they put me in the machine,
- 1:57Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, the the lady comes
- 2:01Speaker 3: in who does like the photographs.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I don't know what she's called, but the radiologist.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Yes, the radiologist. She comes in and she's like, you're scoliosis.
- 2:12Speaker 3: It's in the way. And I looked at her and
- 2:15Speaker 3: I'm like what She's like, it's in the way. We
- 2:19Speaker 3: can't see. The machine isn't as good as hospital machines.
- 2:26Speaker 3: So you're gonna have to go to the hospital and
- 2:28Speaker 3: have this done. And I said, no, I'm not going
- 2:30Speaker 3: to the hospital and having it done right now, Like
- 2:33Speaker 3: this is ridiculous. I've already been here two hours from
- 2:37Speaker 3: the beginning. You have said that you couldn't do it.
- 2:42Speaker 3: So I was just I was fed up, and it's
- 2:45Speaker 3: just it's annoying to me. You know, you have these
- 2:48Speaker 3: doctors and they want you to go for these tests.
- 2:51Speaker 3: And then when I called the doctor afterwards to see
- 2:53Speaker 3: like what she wanted me to do, she said the
- 2:56Speaker 3: nurse says, well, she doesn't think it's your heart, so
- 2:59Speaker 3: you're I'm like, what, Yeah, she thinks it's anxiety. That's
- 3:04Speaker 3: what she said. I'm like, I'm like, so you wanted
- 3:07Speaker 3: me to go through this test and then said to me,
- 3:10Speaker 3: you could do a more invasive test, which is a
- 3:13Speaker 3: catheter cardiac catheterization to go through. I guess I don't
- 3:19Speaker 3: really know much about it, but they somehow go to
- 3:21Speaker 3: your heart and look in with a camera or something. Gosh,
- 3:24Speaker 3: so which I would have to be like put under for.
- 3:26Speaker 3: So I said, absolutely not, I'm not doing that at all.
- 3:30Speaker 3: So it went from that to the cat scan. Then
- 3:35Speaker 3: it went to oh, it's not your heart at all,
- 3:37Speaker 3: it's anxiety.
- 3:39Speaker 2: I just I you can't trust any they I don't
- 3:42Speaker 2: think they know what they're doing. Nine times nine times
- 3:44Speaker 2: out of ten. I know that sounds horrible, but.
- 3:46Speaker 3: I just I don't know. So I have a follow
- 3:49Speaker 3: up in two weeks and I'm gonna say to her,
- 3:53Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, listen, figure out what this fluttering is
- 3:57Speaker 3: in my heart because I've tried different anxiety medications. It's
- 4:05Speaker 3: not working, you know, so is something going on? Like
- 4:10Speaker 3: is you know? She kept saying, the EKG is not
- 4:13Speaker 3: matching up to what she hears, So that's concerning to.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Me, right, yeah, so why let's not push it under
- 4:21Speaker 2: the rug, Let's not sleep it on the rug, let's
- 4:23Speaker 2: figure it out. Yeah, And that's what they do, like
- 4:26Speaker 2: they don't know, so then they just try to make
- 4:27Speaker 2: you feel comfortable like, oh, it's nothing, don't worry about it.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Right. Well, then she said the radiologist said my heart rate.
- 4:35Speaker 3: They couldn't do the test anyway because my heart rate
- 4:38Speaker 3: was at ninety between ninety and ninety seven and it's
- 4:43Speaker 3: supposed to be at sixty. So she was like, are
- 4:47Speaker 3: you nervous? And I'm like, no, I'm not nervous. Like
- 4:50Speaker 3: I've been through this enough. I know I'm gonna get
- 4:52Speaker 3: sick after the die goes in me. You know, I
- 4:56Speaker 3: know everything that's gonna happen. So I said, no, I'm
- 4:59Speaker 3: not really that nervous. And it didn't go down till
- 5:04Speaker 3: the next morning.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Yeah, it was definitely the Premi zone.
- 5:07Speaker 3: That's what she said.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Definitely the Premi zone. So that's what there. Again, there's
- 5:12Speaker 2: no common sense with with a lot in the medical field.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You can't I understand, they're giving you prenizone to try
- 5:18Speaker 2: and not have you have a reaction to the die,
- 5:22Speaker 2: but you didn't have an anaphylectric reaction. You had a
- 5:24Speaker 2: rash flushing, which happens to people. So if they need
- 5:28Speaker 2: your heart rate to be a certain rate, then it
- 5:30Speaker 2: should be like, all right, we can't give you the
- 5:32Speaker 2: Preni zone, but we're gonna give you benadryl right before
- 5:36Speaker 2: the test or maybe the night before, and then during
- 5:38Speaker 2: the test. We can't give you Preni zone, but we
- 5:40Speaker 2: think you're gonna be fine and we'll have everything ready
- 5:42Speaker 2: to go in case you have a reaction. But no,
- 5:44Speaker 2: they they they give it to you and they're like,
- 5:46Speaker 2: oh damn, well you shouldn't have had that because we
- 5:48Speaker 2: need your heart rate a certain rate. Yeah, it's all crazy.
- 5:51Speaker 3: It is. It's it's insane to me. And the other
- 5:54Speaker 3: thing they said to me was that I wasn't on
- 5:58Speaker 3: the correct dosage of the pregnice someone that I was
- 6:00Speaker 3: supposed to take fifty milligrams three times a day, and
- 6:03Speaker 3: I said, well, they probably lowdered it due to my
- 6:06Speaker 3: size and my weight. And she goes, oh, yeah, that's true.
- 6:09Speaker 3: So she's like, so I think you should be on
- 6:11Speaker 3: a lower dose of the DIE as well. So she
- 6:15Speaker 3: goes and tells the radiologists, and the radiologist says, no,
- 6:19Speaker 3: she's an adult on paper. So what are you gonna do,
- 6:23Speaker 3: like overdose me on DIE now? No?
- 6:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I really there's no words, you know,
- 6:30Speaker 2: we talk about this all the time.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely no words for this medical healthcare field. But
- 6:37Speaker 3: hopefully it'll start getting a little bit better with this
- 6:41Speaker 3: new election and RFK coming into play. I'm really looking
- 6:46Speaker 3: forward to him taking out the red dyes and all
- 6:50Speaker 3: the preservatives that are in foods that I get sick from.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I know, I hope that he can. You know, I
- 6:59Speaker 2: know he's gonna have a lot of pushback. It's probably
- 7:01Speaker 2: a big process, and he only has four years right
- 7:04Speaker 2: to get things done. But yeah, I'm I'm excited. And
- 7:09Speaker 2: people are saying, oh, he can't do it, he can't
- 7:11Speaker 2: get it done, Okay, even just the fact of him
- 7:14Speaker 2: trying trying to have it taken care of. That's all
- 7:17Speaker 2: that matters to me, is at least someone is giving
- 7:20Speaker 2: a crap to be like, hey, we gotta fix things.
- 7:22Speaker 2: We are number one with obesity and our children diabetes
- 7:26Speaker 2: and our children add all these.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Issues and autism.
- 7:31Speaker 2: It stems for a lot from the shit that's in
- 7:34Speaker 2: our food.
- 7:35Speaker 3: It really does so. And it's crazy to me that
- 7:38Speaker 3: in Europe and all the other countries that stuff is banned. Yeah,
- 7:41Speaker 3: but yeah, the US allows it.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I know, like Kellogg's right now, they have a big
- 7:45Speaker 2: thing going on that And I agree Kellogg's feeds us,
- 7:49Speaker 2: the American people the worst cereal. They keep all the
- 7:54Speaker 2: toxic crap in there that dies, they keep it all
- 7:57Speaker 2: in there. But yet for Canada and Europe they make
- 8:00Speaker 2: different version of that without that stuff. So why do
- 8:04Speaker 2: they don't care about us? They don't care about the
- 8:06Speaker 2: American children. They only care about Europe and you know Canada, like,
- 8:10Speaker 2: why not give us the same If you're able to
- 8:12Speaker 2: do it without the dies, why not just do it
- 8:16Speaker 2: all across the board. But it's because they don't care
- 8:18Speaker 2: and it's probably cheaper to do these fake dies and
- 8:21Speaker 2: they just want to save money. And it's always money
- 8:24Speaker 2: over over lives, and that's what sucks.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that. And you know the pharmaceutical company US,
- 8:31Speaker 3: you know big Pharma. There's money there. So it's all
- 8:34Speaker 3: about money.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yeah, and keep America sick because we don't have to
- 8:38Speaker 2: then pay a lot of money to get medication and
- 8:40Speaker 2: get all these health It's a big cycle and they
- 8:43Speaker 2: know it's a cycle, and they want us in that
- 8:45Speaker 2: cycle of feed them shit, make them sick, make them
- 8:49Speaker 2: go to the doctor, make them go on medications. The
- 8:51Speaker 2: medications give them other side effects which makes them sicker.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Then what happens. They keep eating shit, they keep going
- 8:56Speaker 2: to the doctors, they keep getting prescribed medications, and just
- 9:00Speaker 2: puts money in everybody's pockets and we're the ones who suffer.
- 9:04Speaker 2: So rfk's against that and I'm hoping, praying that he
- 9:08Speaker 2: can kind of disrupt that little cycle there. Even if
- 9:11Speaker 2: it's even the smallest bit of disruption, I'll be happy with.
- 9:15Speaker 2: But we can't continue like this. We cannot, no, absolutely not.
- 9:19Speaker 3: And speaking of RFK, a news station reached out to you.
- 9:25Speaker 3: They saw your video about GEO and the vaccine situation
- 9:30Speaker 3: and they want to interview you.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited. I'm nervous. So yeah, they reached out
- 9:37Speaker 2: yesterday and they said, hey, would you like to come
- 9:39Speaker 2: on CBS and talk about what happened to your son
- 9:43Speaker 2: and talk about your feelings on the pediatricians and vaccines
- 9:48Speaker 2: and RFK. Do you have any concerns with him being
- 9:51Speaker 2: in office? And I'm like, you're speaking to the wrong person.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Anythink I'm gonna say no, But no, I have no
- 9:56Speaker 2: concerns and I absolutely love him. So tomorrow they're going
- 10:01Speaker 2: to be interviewing me at my house and I've never
- 10:04Speaker 2: been interviewed by the news. I know Sean is used
- 10:06Speaker 2: to this kind of stuff, but I've never had this.
- 10:09Speaker 2: So we shall see how it goes.
- 10:11Speaker 3: It's really not nerve wracking. I mean, it's it. You
- 10:14Speaker 3: will be nervous, But I'm more nervous to see what
- 10:18Speaker 3: they're going to cotton splice and edit.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a lot of people told me that I
- 10:25Speaker 2: could talk for fifteen minutes and they're gonna take one
- 10:28Speaker 2: point five seconds, like a sentence of what I said.
- 10:31Speaker 2: So that's crazy to me that they'll drive over an
- 10:35Speaker 2: hour to my house, set up all their equipment, just
- 10:38Speaker 2: to edit me down to what they want me, you know,
- 10:41Speaker 2: like a sentence or two sentences and or what they're
- 10:43Speaker 2: going to edit it to. And yeah, yeah, but that's
- 10:47Speaker 2: that's what the news stations do on all sides. So
- 10:50Speaker 2: we'll see how it goes. Hopefully they don't make me
- 10:53Speaker 2: look stupid or crazy or like you know what I mean.
- 10:57Speaker 2: That's why a few of my friends are like, oh man,
- 10:59Speaker 2: they don't want to hear that anti vax stuff, so
- 11:01Speaker 2: they might make it look a little crazy. I'm like, well,
- 11:03Speaker 2: I won't say anything to make myself crazy. I'll try
- 11:05Speaker 2: not to.
- 11:08Speaker 3: You just got to keep it like just the facts, yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 3: you know, of what happened, and you know, not really
- 11:14Speaker 3: give your opinion.
- 11:15Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, I just that's what you said, just
- 11:17Speaker 2: your concerns and if if I'm now hesitant to take
- 11:22Speaker 2: them to the doctor or use a pediatrician, and yeah,
- 11:25Speaker 2: which I am. I am. I do not trust as
- 11:28Speaker 2: much as I used to the medical field.
- 11:30Speaker 3: So it has certainly changed drastically over the last five
- 11:36Speaker 3: ten years. I mean since we were younger. You know,
- 11:39Speaker 3: even my mom was saying how she trusted my pediatrician. Yeah,
- 11:44Speaker 3: you know, when I was younger, and she trusted all
- 11:46Speaker 3: my doctors and my specialists, and you know, they all
- 11:50Speaker 3: worked together. And now there's none of that. No, it
- 11:53Speaker 3: don't work together. They're not a team.
- 11:56Speaker 2: No, I and I. That's what I was gonna talk
- 11:58Speaker 2: about on the on the news tomorrow too, is that
- 12:01Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are waking up to
- 12:03Speaker 2: see that, Hey, you know what, these doctors don't know everything.
- 12:08Speaker 2: These doctors are not one hundred percent right. Just because
- 12:11Speaker 2: their a doctor does not make them a hundred percent right.
- 12:14Speaker 2: And I think now that we have social media and
- 12:16Speaker 2: we have people telling their stories and we're seeing stories,
- 12:19Speaker 2: and we're able to research things ourselves, which our parents
- 12:22Speaker 2: didn't have that if you think about it, I remember
- 12:25Speaker 2: my mom had a book. I forget what the doctor's
- 12:28Speaker 2: name was. It was a weird name, like doctor lipshits
- 12:31Speaker 2: or something like that. I forget what it was. I'm
- 12:34Speaker 2: going to look it up after the show. But it
- 12:36Speaker 2: was like a book on if you feel this, this
- 12:38Speaker 2: might be the symptom. It was like a big book.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Yeah that dictionary, yeah, but yeah, it was for like
- 12:43Speaker 2: if you felt a certain way or medical stuff. So
- 12:45Speaker 2: that's all they had. We have everything at our fingertips now.
- 12:49Speaker 2: So I think that that's also another problem, is that
- 12:53Speaker 2: we were kind of waking up to see that they
- 12:55Speaker 2: could be wrong sometimes and they're not always right, and
- 12:58Speaker 2: they're just repeating that they is that big pharmers telling them.
- 13:01Speaker 3: To repeat exactly.
- 13:03Speaker 2: And do you know that doctors are are you know
- 13:07Speaker 2: how doctors learn about medications and vaccines? They didn't learn
- 13:11Speaker 2: about it in college. They learned about it from pharmaceutical reps.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Really, I didn't know that.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Yep, I saw it firsthand when I worked in the
- 13:19Speaker 2: doctor's office. The doctors wouldn't know about a certain medication
- 13:22Speaker 2: for whatever, and they would send pharmaceutical reps in, who
- 13:25Speaker 2: are basically car salesmen, who would sit down and I
- 13:29Speaker 2: would listen in sometimes you know, in and out, and
- 13:31Speaker 2: they would say, this is what the drug is, this
- 13:33Speaker 2: is what it can help, this is what it does,
- 13:35Speaker 2: and these are the side effects. And if you prescribe
- 13:38Speaker 2: enough of this, we're going to give you a trip
- 13:39Speaker 2: to Bermuda, or we're going to give you a new laptop.
- 13:42Speaker 2: And we also got you guys a amazing catered lunch
- 13:45Speaker 2: for the whole office today.
- 13:47Speaker 3: I knew they did that. Yeah, kind of like pay
- 13:49Speaker 3: to play, you know.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'd get the most amazing lunches, I'll tell
- 13:53Speaker 2: you that much. So I love working there for the lunches.
- 13:55Speaker 2: But yeah, that's they were good lunches, Oh my god, amazing.
- 13:59Speaker 2: But they were bribing doctors and that's how doctors were
- 14:02Speaker 2: learning about the or the medication. So I wonder if
- 14:06Speaker 2: pediatricians are the same way with vaccinations, Like are you
- 14:09Speaker 2: learning about them because you study them in school? Or
- 14:12Speaker 2: are you learning them about them because big Farmers sent
- 14:15Speaker 2: a rep to just kind of give you a rundown
- 14:16Speaker 2: of Hey, here you go, you know.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, or did you learn about them in school?
- 14:22Speaker 3: And did you learn about you know, what the teacher
- 14:25Speaker 3: wanted you to know about it? You know, I mean
- 14:28Speaker 3: there's a difference between doing your own research and then
- 14:33Speaker 3: learning about it on through a teacher and their opinion,
- 14:39Speaker 3: or researching about your.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Studies and seeing studies.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:42Speaker 2: So I wonder all these things. But let's hope, let's
- 14:47Speaker 2: hope there's some change in the next next coming years
- 14:50Speaker 2: in our medical system. And uh, we can only probably
- 14:53Speaker 2: hope for that.
- 14:54Speaker 3: So the other night we went to see Anthony Rodilla
- 14:58Speaker 3: and Laala has no seen him before, but he is
- 15:04Speaker 3: so funny.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Oh my god. Well we first of all, we had
- 15:09Speaker 2: we were interviewing him, so we sat down with him,
- 15:13Speaker 2: and he was just really chill, like really laid back quiet.
- 15:17Speaker 2: But for a comedian. I was a little shocked at
- 15:20Speaker 2: how quiet he was at first, and Showana warned me, like,
- 15:22Speaker 2: she's like, he's kind of quiet. He is, yeah, but
- 15:25Speaker 2: like not in a rude way, but just I thought
- 15:28Speaker 2: some comedians are just off the wall, like crazy. He
- 15:30Speaker 2: was chill, really chill.
- 15:32Speaker 3: I think he was also really really tired.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Yes, he looked tired. He seems he was stressed. He
- 15:37Speaker 2: just drove a stressful drive there, so he was. It
- 15:41Speaker 2: was a little crazy, so I'm appreciative that he interviewed
- 15:45Speaker 2: with us. But he was great. We had a blast
- 15:47Speaker 2: talking with him. We were laughing, laughing so hard at
- 15:50Speaker 2: some of the shit he was saying. And then after
- 15:53Speaker 2: the interview we went to watch the show. He had
- 15:56Speaker 2: Johnny Guomba on first.
- 15:57Speaker 4: He's hilarious, so crazy, and my husband was there with us,
- 16:04Speaker 4: and he remembered Johnny Zumba from a radio show he
- 16:07Speaker 4: used to listen to ya, right, you heard him too
- 16:09Speaker 4: on there or.
- 16:09Speaker 3: I never heard him on the radio station, but my
- 16:13Speaker 3: friend worked with him at the radio station.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Okay, so I never heard of him, but my husband
- 16:19Speaker 2: loved him, so we listened. He was so funny, like
- 16:22Speaker 2: dirty but hilarious. I love that kind of humor. And
- 16:26Speaker 2: then Anthony came on, and oh my god, there was
- 16:30Speaker 2: I've seen a bunch of comedians and you know, Dane
- 16:33Speaker 2: Cook used to be my favorite, and even at his
- 16:35Speaker 2: show there were points where I wouldn't laugh. There would
- 16:37Speaker 2: be some things that just weren't funny. You know, I'm like,
- 16:39Speaker 2: all right, all right that it was kind of funny
- 16:42Speaker 2: and I wouldn't laugh. Yeah, But with Anthony, I never
- 16:46Speaker 2: stopped laughing. Like every single joke was was amazing, was
- 16:51Speaker 2: a hit, you know what I mean? Yeah, and you
- 16:53Speaker 2: still Mike my husband, he was in tears. He was
- 16:56Speaker 2: in tears laughing, and that's good because it's hard to
- 17:00Speaker 2: get him to laugh. He's kind of you know, you know,
- 17:03Speaker 2: like just that kind of personality. He's not but he
- 17:07Speaker 2: was laughing his ass off. So it was an amazing show.
- 17:10Speaker 2: I highly recommend. It's his tour. It's called the Totally
- 17:14Speaker 2: Relatable Tour, and he's traveling all over the country and
- 17:19Speaker 2: definitely look for tickets. You're not going to be disappointed.
- 17:22Speaker 2: You're gonna laugh the whole freaking time because it just
- 17:28Speaker 2: it was so funny, especially as an Italian American or
- 17:32Speaker 2: he said, even any immigrant from any country, they're going
- 17:34Speaker 2: to relate to him and his stories and it is
- 17:37Speaker 2: so freaking funny.
- 17:39Speaker 3: It's hilarious. And you know, my family we're not Italian,
- 17:42Speaker 3: we're Polish, but we could relate to him. Yeah, and
- 17:47Speaker 3: to his you know, family stories and coming over on
- 17:51Speaker 3: the boat and oh my gosh, he's just he's so
- 17:54Speaker 3: nice and just so funny. So if anyone wants to
- 17:59Speaker 3: catch him on tour, you can get tickets at Ticketmaster
- 18:02Speaker 3: just type in Anthony Rodia and it is called the
- 18:06Speaker 3: Totally Relatable Tour.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're gonna post that. We put up a
- 18:10Speaker 2: snippet of part of the interview, but we're gonna put
- 18:12Speaker 2: the full video interview on our social media accounts so
- 18:17Speaker 2: you can check that out and just see how how
- 18:19Speaker 2: cool and chill and relatable he is. He's a down
- 18:23Speaker 2: to earth kind of guy, just like you and I,
- 18:25Speaker 2: and I love that he connects with fans and yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 2: even from his show, he was sharing. Anyone who took
- 18:31Speaker 2: a picture of him on stage or with him, he
- 18:33Speaker 2: was sharing it, And I think I love that when
- 18:36Speaker 2: celebs do that where they're kind of like, hey, I'm
- 18:39Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys coming and I'm sharing your stuff,
- 18:42Speaker 2: I'm looking at your stuff, I'm interacting with you like
- 18:45Speaker 2: he interacts with his fans. So it's a He's an
- 18:47Speaker 2: amazing guy and we wish him nothing but the best.
- 18:50Speaker 2: We we've watched him grow from a little guy on
- 18:54Speaker 2: Instagram to now this touring the country and it's amazing.
- 18:57Speaker 2: We're so proud of him.
- 18:59Speaker 3: So I don't know if you guys, I saw one
- 19:01Speaker 3: of our other posts, but we came across this app.
- 19:04Speaker 3: It's called a Better Meal. And we're always looking for
- 19:08Speaker 3: healthier decisions to make and for foosier and easier meals
- 19:13Speaker 3: to cook and kind of like meal planning. So I
- 19:18Speaker 3: came across this app it's called a Better Meal, and
- 19:21Speaker 3: I showed La La, and Lala was like, oh my god,
- 19:23Speaker 3: we have to feature this. And you actually came across
- 19:27Speaker 3: it that you could put the items into your shopping cart.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. I was testing out the app and
- 19:36Speaker 2: you can pick whatever recipe you want. So either a
- 19:39Speaker 2: you add ingredients that Hey, I want to make a
- 19:41Speaker 2: pork meal tonight, so you type in pork and it
- 19:43Speaker 2: pulls up all the pork meals. Or if you have
- 19:45Speaker 2: a specific recipe you're looking for, like chicken parm you
- 19:48Speaker 2: put that in there. Or you could just pick from
- 19:50Speaker 2: They have options there like the most top rated ones
- 19:55Speaker 2: or chicken dinners, posted meals, appetizers, you name it. Any
- 20:00Speaker 2: I was, I picked a recipe and I saw when
- 20:03Speaker 2: I scrolled to the bottom, it said add these ingredients
- 20:06Speaker 2: to your shopping cart. I'm like, what That's crazy. I'm like,
- 20:10Speaker 2: where's it gonna go. Maybe it's gonna go to an
- 20:12Speaker 2: imaginary shopping cart, you know. But no, you were able
- 20:15Speaker 2: to link whatever store you use the most. So I
- 20:17Speaker 2: picked Walmart because I you know, I get my orders delivered.
- 20:20Speaker 2: So I clicked them on Walmart and it connected it
- 20:24Speaker 2: like it linked the account. And then once I did that,
- 20:27Speaker 2: it sent all the ingredients that I need for the
- 20:30Speaker 2: recipe right into my Walmart shopping cart. You know, you
- 20:33Speaker 2: could pick them like boom boom boom was right there.
- 20:35Speaker 2: You put them in and then I could hit check
- 20:37Speaker 2: out and have it shipped to my house. So that
- 20:40Speaker 2: was amazing. I haven't seen anything like that. And as
- 20:43Speaker 2: a busy mom and ad D mom, I should say,
- 20:47Speaker 2: who's I'm completely scatterbrain. I'm always forgetting things. I could
- 20:52Speaker 2: pull up a recipe and say, okay, I need this,
- 20:54Speaker 2: this and that, and then I get to the grocery
- 20:56Speaker 2: store and I forget half the ingredients. So this makes
- 20:59Speaker 2: it too, pretty easy for a busy mom or a
- 21:01Speaker 2: busy dad, or anybody in life that has a lot
- 21:04Speaker 2: going on. Boom in your shopping cart. You can order
- 21:07Speaker 2: it and it gives you step by step directions on
- 21:09Speaker 2: how to make the recipe. And you don't even need
- 21:12Speaker 2: your hands because a lot of times my hands are
- 21:14Speaker 2: so gross from cooking and prepping that when I touch
- 21:17Speaker 2: my phone it's a mess on my screen, you know.
- 21:21Speaker 2: So they had this way where you could put your
- 21:22Speaker 2: hand right over it and it's and it swipes to
- 21:26Speaker 2: the next page.
- 21:28Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Really handy, very handy. So it's a big help for
- 21:32Speaker 2: me as a busy mom with Scatterbreen to make everything easier.
- 21:36Speaker 2: And you can meal plan too. You can meal plan
- 21:38Speaker 2: for a daily, weekly, or monthly, so you can put
- 21:42Speaker 2: every recipe you want for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks into
- 21:45Speaker 2: each day on the calendar, and then it's going to
- 21:48Speaker 2: you can add it to your cart. Have everything ready
- 21:50Speaker 2: for the week, you know.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.
- 21:53Speaker 2: I love that.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I planned out like some mules for the week and
- 21:56Speaker 3: I put them, you know, like Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and
- 22:01Speaker 3: it has been such a help.
- 22:02Speaker 2: It takes one thing less off your plate, as anybody
- 22:06Speaker 2: in life, just like that, you don't have to worry
- 22:07Speaker 2: about Okay, I know what we're making all week. All
- 22:10Speaker 2: the ingredients are in the cart. They're all shipping to
- 22:13Speaker 2: my house or you could pick them up at the store,
- 22:15Speaker 2: and it's all done. And just all I need now
- 22:18Speaker 2: is a robot to come cook for me. That's about it.
- 22:22Speaker 2: They've solved all the other issues for me. Now I
- 22:25Speaker 2: need someone to cook for me and clean and clean. Yeah,
- 22:28Speaker 2: oh my god. Yes.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Right now we're gonna jump into an interview with Julie
- 22:33Speaker 3: de Luca Collins. She is all about being confident in
- 22:38Speaker 3: yourself and sometimes I struggle with that.
- 22:42Speaker 2: I think many women do, or many people do. It's
- 22:44Speaker 2: very hard, especially when you're starting a career and there's
- 22:49Speaker 2: just so much going at you. You know, it's stressful.
- 22:52Speaker 3: So how did you break into that type of business?
- 22:56Speaker 3: Did you ever struggle with being confident yourself?
- 22:59Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you so much for having me and for
- 23:01Speaker 1: asking this question. You know, typically people will say, oh
- 23:04Speaker 1: my god, did you struggle with confidence? And I will
- 23:07Speaker 1: tell you. Let's normalize that everybody struggles with confidence. Confidence
- 23:11Speaker 1: is something that we don't have. We don't we're not
- 23:15Speaker 1: born with it. Now, some of us may have a
- 23:18Speaker 1: little bit more outgoingness, may be a little more outspoken.
- 23:21Speaker 1: I am a first child. I'm also a very outspoken person,
- 23:26Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that I feel confident all of
- 23:29Speaker 1: the time. The reason that I started doing this work
- 23:32Speaker 1: is because when I was climbing through the corporate ladder,
- 23:35Speaker 1: I found that many women, in particular, I would say
- 23:39Speaker 1: to me, Wow, you're so confident. Look you got another promotion.
- 23:43Speaker 1: And again, I continue to climb the corporate ladder. I
- 23:46Speaker 1: moved to the executive level and then the C suite,
- 23:48Speaker 1: but never did I feel like I was having it together.
- 23:52Speaker 1: And that's the biggest misconception. Confidence comes from actually doing
- 23:57Speaker 1: the thing that you may not feel you're good, but
- 24:00Speaker 1: you do it consistently enough that you begin to practice
- 24:04Speaker 1: it and then you begin to find the evidence that wait,
- 24:08Speaker 1: I'm getting better, I'm getting better, and then that is
- 24:11Speaker 1: what gives you the confidence. It's not actually having that feeling.
- 24:14Speaker 1: So when we're feeling unsure, when we're feeling like we're
- 24:18Speaker 1: not able to do something, and the confidence it's not
- 24:21Speaker 1: with us. We got to remind ourselves that it's just
- 24:24Speaker 1: about practice and that it's normal to not feel that confidence.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, and I said, it's normal. And
- 24:32Speaker 2: I think people get to where they just feel that
- 24:36Speaker 2: it shouldn't be or that they look at other people
- 24:38Speaker 2: and we kind of think that the grass is greener. Well,
- 24:41Speaker 2: how how do they have so much confidence? How it
- 24:43Speaker 2: able to do that? How are they so strong? But
- 24:46Speaker 2: they don't know a lot of it is, I've learned
- 24:49Speaker 2: in my life is a show. It's a facade, and
- 24:52Speaker 2: we all we all deal with it. So yeah, I
- 24:54Speaker 2: one hundred percent agree with you.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Mm now where do you go ahead?
- 25:01Speaker 2: Oh?
- 25:01Speaker 1: Sorry, no, you're fine, You're five.
- 25:03Speaker 3: So how did you begin to shift your journey through
- 25:07Speaker 3: being self confident?
- 25:10Speaker 1: You know, my biggest journey came from actually doing a
- 25:13Speaker 1: lot of failures. And I think that the world is
- 25:16Speaker 1: always saying, oh my god, we need to succeed, and
- 25:20Speaker 1: it's ingrained in us that failure is a bad thing.
- 25:24Speaker 1: But when I started to notice that failure was more
- 25:27Speaker 1: of a teacher, failure was more of a practice than
- 25:31Speaker 1: it allowed me to start to shifting my vision in
- 25:34Speaker 1: not being afraid of doing things that normally I would
- 25:39Speaker 1: not be pushing myself to do, or be hesitant or
- 25:42Speaker 1: kind of stand in the sidelines. Most people that accomplish
- 25:45Speaker 1: their goals or or they're living the vision they have
- 25:49Speaker 1: for their life comes from actually taking that step, doing
- 25:52Speaker 1: the hard thing. And I will tell you the first
- 25:55Speaker 1: step is always the hardest because we have a lot
- 25:59Speaker 1: of debt, we have a lot of them certainty, and
- 26:02Speaker 1: of course we haven't seen the evidence that we're able
- 26:05Speaker 1: to do something. So for me, showing up and I
- 26:09Speaker 1: often talk about this, and I shared about this in
- 26:11Speaker 1: my TED talk, when we show up scared. So for me,
- 26:16Speaker 1: anytime that I felt unsure, that I felt hesitant, or
- 26:21Speaker 1: like I didn't have what it took to do something,
- 26:24Speaker 1: that was my cue or my reminder to go ahead
- 26:27Speaker 1: and step out and do even if it's just a
- 26:30Speaker 1: little one percent of movement forward. Then that would help
- 26:35Speaker 1: me create the momentum needed to build the confidence and
- 26:39Speaker 1: to gain mastery or get better at any area of life. Yeah.
- 26:45Speaker 2: I saw when I was reading up about you, the
- 26:49Speaker 2: quote that you had about being invited to a party
- 26:52Speaker 2: and the dance. You know, I totally. I'm first of all,
- 26:56Speaker 2: I love dancing. I love dancing, and.
- 26:59Speaker 3: I like dancing alone in my room. Me.
- 27:03Speaker 2: I don't drink, and since I was younger, you know,
- 27:05Speaker 2: I didn't drink as a teen, but I was always
- 27:07Speaker 2: going out dancing and I'd be on the dance floor
- 27:09Speaker 2: even if there was no one out there, and people say,
- 27:11Speaker 2: how can you do that? You're not even drunk, You're
- 27:14Speaker 2: not you're sober. How are you out there? And I
- 27:16Speaker 2: don't have a lot of confidence, but it was just
- 27:18Speaker 2: something that I enjoyed, and you know, I liked reading
- 27:21Speaker 2: what you said. It is a discomfort at first. You
- 27:23Speaker 2: go out there a little discomfort and it's like is
- 27:25Speaker 2: everyone looking at me? But then you just got to,
- 27:27Speaker 2: you know, push it away and you you own the moment.
- 27:30Speaker 2: And I loved reading that what you wrote, and it's
- 27:32Speaker 2: so true, you know, and you can use that in
- 27:34Speaker 2: every area of life.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And you know. One of the things that
- 27:39Speaker 1: I did is I actually became a tiny habit. Certified
- 27:42Speaker 1: coach and doctor B. J. Fogg, who is the founder
- 27:45Speaker 1: of the Behavior Lab at Stanford University, often talks about how, again,
- 27:50Speaker 1: we don't have motivation to do the thing, mostly especially
- 27:54Speaker 1: if it's something hard. But what does keep us building momentum,
- 28:00Speaker 1: building the right habits that can then yield into the
- 28:04Speaker 1: result that we want is by starting small and celebrating
- 28:08Speaker 1: because our brain then says, ooh, I feel good that
- 28:12Speaker 1: I did that. Right because you said to yourself, good job, Julie,
- 28:16Speaker 1: or look at you doing that, and just giving yourself
- 28:19Speaker 1: that little extra dose of dopamine reminds your brain like, okay,
- 28:23Speaker 1: I did that. It felt okay, I can keep going.
- 28:27Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that we really got
- 28:29Speaker 1: to remember because most people feel like, oh, I'm not motivated.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I can never do that because I don't feel the
- 28:35Speaker 1: motivation or it's going to be hard. Stop thinking it's hard.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Just say yourself, let me try one step, because once
- 28:43Speaker 1: you take that one step, you're moving forward and then
- 28:46Speaker 1: stack up your wins. Every one little step adds up
- 28:50Speaker 1: to being able to walk miles. Right, It only takes
- 28:54Speaker 1: one step.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I like I do like that. It's like
- 29:00Speaker 2: yourself a little treat, like a mental treat, like you
- 29:02Speaker 2: did it, good job.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Absolutely, and it's not It doesn't have to be complicated.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I think that a lot of people say, oh, celebrate,
- 29:09Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. It could be as
- 29:11Speaker 1: easy as saying good job or smiling and saying I
- 29:14Speaker 1: feel good. Oh look at me doing that. A lot
- 29:17Speaker 1: of times, if you keep track of the things that
- 29:19Speaker 1: you're doing, you're going to find yourself being able to
- 29:23Speaker 1: do the things that you thought you weren't able to
- 29:26Speaker 1: because they seem so momentous and so big. So start small.
- 29:30Speaker 1: That's my biggest advice for anyone, especially when building confidence.
- 29:35Speaker 3: So what other habits do you think people could practice,
- 29:40Speaker 3: like our listeners, can they what can they practice to
- 29:42Speaker 3: be more confident in whether it's dancing on the dance
- 29:46Speaker 3: floor or uh having a successful business?
- 29:52Speaker 1: Well, I think that the first thing is really being
- 29:55Speaker 1: able to be aware of what is it that you
- 29:58Speaker 1: want to accomplish. Many times, you know, we want to
- 30:02Speaker 1: build confidence, but we don't even know what we want
- 30:04Speaker 1: what we envision, whether it be for a personal life
- 30:07Speaker 1: or for our business. Many of the clients that I
- 30:10Speaker 1: work with, when they're trying to build a business, we
- 30:13Speaker 1: just talk about, well, what is it going to look like?
- 30:16Speaker 1: And then we come down to write. Actually writing down
- 30:19Speaker 1: the goal is because many people who don't accomplish goals,
- 30:22Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that they had an idea of
- 30:25Speaker 1: what they wanted, but they never write wrote it down.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Writing it down is going to help you start to
- 30:31Speaker 1: continue to visualize. The second thing is when we create
- 30:35Speaker 1: these goals and we have them written down, we have
- 30:38Speaker 1: to create a list of an action plan, all right,
- 30:41Speaker 1: if I want to go ahead and maybe get more fit.
- 30:44Speaker 1: For instance, for me, when I started to practice yoga,
- 30:47Speaker 1: I wanted to become a yoga teacher. I didn't go
- 30:50Speaker 1: from being a beginner at yoga too all said being
- 30:53Speaker 1: this expert yogi, right, But it was just about the practice.
- 30:57Speaker 1: So what I started to do is like, Okay, I'm
- 30:58Speaker 1: going to every morning open up my yoga mat into
- 31:02Speaker 1: a stretch and that was that started to build the momentum.
- 31:06Speaker 1: So when you have a goal, let for me becoming
- 31:08Speaker 1: a yoga teacher, I then broke down the goal into
- 31:12Speaker 1: smaller steps. Okay, I needed to practice every day. I
- 31:15Speaker 1: needed to maybe go to a class, I needed to
- 31:19Speaker 1: learn how to stretch a certain way. I need to
- 31:21Speaker 1: sign up for the yoga teacher training. So all of
- 31:24Speaker 1: these things, breaking it down into smaller, manageable steps, it's
- 31:29Speaker 1: what's actually going to help us be able to achieve
- 31:32Speaker 1: the things that we want become successful. And as we
- 31:36Speaker 1: achieve these things again, that's going to help you build
- 31:39Speaker 1: your confidence.
- 31:41Speaker 3: And what would you say to your younger version of yourself?
- 31:49Speaker 1: Yeah, the biggest thing that I would say to my
- 31:52Speaker 1: youngest Julie is Julie, you've got this. And I think
- 31:57Speaker 1: that a lot of times we start from thinking I
- 32:01Speaker 1: don't have this, but we do that because we're looking
- 32:04Speaker 1: at what everybody else is doing. But if we focus
- 32:08Speaker 1: on staying in our lane, Hey Julie, you've got this.
- 32:11Speaker 1: Stay in your lane, don't compare in despair, and really
- 32:15Speaker 1: show up as a better version of Julie daily and
- 32:19Speaker 1: you will build that momentum forward. All it takes is saying,
- 32:23Speaker 1: you know what, today, I'm going to be better than
- 32:25Speaker 1: I did yesterday. And that's going to help to increase
- 32:28Speaker 1: your confidence, increase your success, and will make you just
- 32:32Speaker 1: know that it's possible for you to accomplish and do
- 32:36Speaker 1: the things that you want.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Yep, I'm absolutely amazing. I agree with that, and so
- 32:42Speaker 2: your company again go comfantly Services.
- 32:46Speaker 1: So correct.
- 32:46Speaker 2: So if our listeners are listening, the women are listening
- 32:50Speaker 2: in a short you know, synopsis like what someone who's
- 32:54Speaker 2: looking for what would contact you and how can you
- 32:56Speaker 2: help them? It's with their businesses, right.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Not only with their businesses, but I do a lot
- 33:01Speaker 1: of individual mentoring and coaching for women specifically that are
- 33:04Speaker 1: looking to maybe move to the next level. Maybe they're
- 33:08Speaker 1: looking to leave a job and go from their nine
- 33:10Speaker 1: to five to something else, or someone is looking to
- 33:13Speaker 1: be a speaker, or even if maybe they want to
- 33:16Speaker 1: get a goal going like perhaps you know, leave a marriage,
- 33:20Speaker 1: or they want to get married, anything that having to
- 33:23Speaker 1: do with your personal life. I am happy to be
- 33:27Speaker 1: able to support individuals. The best way to contact me
- 33:30Speaker 1: is you go to my website, which is go confidently
- 33:33Speaker 1: Coaching dot com and then you can either click to
- 33:37Speaker 1: speak to me and then you can set up a
- 33:39Speaker 1: quick fifteen minute call. It's free and people can even
- 33:43Speaker 1: just ask me a question. I love talking about this
- 33:46Speaker 1: type of topics and happy to help anyone, even if
- 33:49Speaker 1: they choose to not work with me, I'm always happy
- 33:52Speaker 1: to be able to collaborate with them, help them or
- 33:55Speaker 1: connect them to the right resources. And I do have
- 33:57Speaker 1: a lot of resources that people can use and down
- 34:00Speaker 1: load so that they are able to help themselves and
- 34:02Speaker 1: grow in their confidence.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Great that, you know, thank you for all of that,
- 34:08Speaker 2: because there's not many there's not many people out there
- 34:11Speaker 2: that would would be that supportive. You know, a lot
- 34:14Speaker 2: of the other coaches that we hit I have talked
- 34:17Speaker 2: to in the past, it's just it was all about
- 34:20Speaker 2: money and they didn't really care about about you succeeding,
