• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Sock Valley. You've joined the Waking crew here
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: on FM ninety five one and AM fourteen sixty wix N.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's eight sixteen and it's time for talk line and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I'm joined in the booth today by some very special
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: local friends, the host of the Generation's Woven podcast, Judy
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Randall and Tasha Garcia. Ladies, how are you this morning?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: We're doing great and wider for here.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you braving the cold to actually be in person.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I always love in person when we can do.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: This, so oh one hundred percent. That's exactly what we
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: are about, too, is getting in person as much as
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: we can.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So I'd like you to start off by telling folks
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit about yourselves, the podcast, and what actually
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: inspired you to launch Generation's Woven.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go first, and Judy can give the inspiration part.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: So my name's Tasha, Judy. We also have Narena Human.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: She's not here today, she lives a little bit further away,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: but the three of us together just we met and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we decided to kind of put together this podcast to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: talk to women, to connect and build more. So I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: say we're more than just a podcast, because we are
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: also doing community events and looking for opportunities to bring
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: people together. We have now launched nine podcasts. We've hosted
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: our podcast launch party, we invited people, had some snacks
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and conversations, and then we did a goals bingo in
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: January where we brought thirty eight women together and worked
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: on goals for twenty twenty six and now they have
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: their Bingo cards to achieve throughout the year. And so
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: those are the types of events that we want to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: keep having with the community and you know, bridging that
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: gap between generations. Right, So Judy, myself and Narna, three
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: different generations coming together with three different perspectives and just
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: building this community of women that are looking for growth
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and opportunities and guidance and connection. And yeah, Judy, I'll
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: let her talk about how we kind of came together.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it's sort of been a goal of mine to
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: do something to help women for many, many years, but
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't have the knowledge base that these young women have.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So when we all came together and started talking about
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: helping women, it just was like a click. And Tasha says,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: why don't we do a podcast? And I'm going, what's
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: a podcast? You know? So it all came together in
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: a very short amount of time. I met we Nearina
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and I had known and I had known each other
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: for a few years. But Tasha was brought into the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: equation on August fifteenth, and she had an awakening on sixteenth,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and the rest is History's nothing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Like meeting somebody one day and the next day you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: call them up and say, I think we should do
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: this business together. And then we just all went first
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and it's turned out great. We have you know, we've
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: got our first guest coming on soon. And we recorded
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a total of fourteen episodes. We record five more, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: this coming week. So it's on YouTube, so videoed and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: all the podcast places, you know. But it's been it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: been quite a journey.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I got to imagine, and I really love this idea
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of weaving together generations. How did y'all come up with
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that structure and dynamic?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it was really we were sitting there and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: like having dinner. I had gone over to Judy's and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I think I figured out
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: maybe something I want to do, or I knew kind
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of I wanted to help women, but I didn't know how.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, I work in corporate. Love my job,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: but I'm at the point where I'm like, what else
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: do I want to do? Like, what are my hobbies?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: What's outside of work? And so I went over to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: her house that morning. I was like, I want to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: help women, and she goes, do you want to come
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to dinner tonight? But as we're sitting at dinner, the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: three of us, and we're just having conversations, right, sharing wisdom,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: sharing guide and not forced, but more, Here's what I've learned,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Here's what I've learned, Here's what I've experienced having those
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: conversations across the different generations. That's where I you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the next night, I was thinking, and I go, you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we were missing out on a lot of that with
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the technology, right, we have our phones, we we we're
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: kind of stuck in those across the generations. It doesn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: matter if you're you know, seventy five or fifteen, they're
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: all on it. So it's kind of an extra way
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to bring people together and talk about different things and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to learn from each other. Me, I've always been the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: person who doesn't listen to their mom.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I think we've got some kids out there who are
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: like my mom doesn't know what she's talking about. Honestly,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: she does, and I've learned that over time. But I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: think we learn things from other women too, not just
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: those in our family, and so that's kind of part
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of that bridging the generations, but bridging different communities and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: different people.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: We laugh because the younger ones say to the mos,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you don't have a clue, and that's older ones say,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: you don't have a clue yet. And it's just a
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: matter that we've all been around the block a few
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: more times than these young ones have, and just you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it's not that we're so wise. We've just learned along
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the way what works, what doesn't work, and how to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: let life flow more freely and get to the destination
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: much more calmly without all the chaos and drama. You know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It's those different perspectives, right, So something I may say
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: may not resonate with someone, but something Judy says the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: exact same thing I'm saying, can click with them. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: it's easy, you know. I mean, I have a daughter, right,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: she's twenty, and you don't always get you know, you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: can't always tell, you know, even your younger children do this.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Because this is how I learned it, They're like no,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: but if Judy says it, or an Arena says it,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: or someone else in the community that is having these conversations,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: one might listen.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So she reminds me of when my oldest daughter, her
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: children were in high school. She called me one day
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: and she goes, mom, and I said what she goes,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I just opened my mouth and you
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: came out. So that's you know, it's it's sort of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: funny and I'm thinking.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, but we're not related either, So I know that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: been a question that comes up is sometimes think that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we're you know, family, but we're not. We're just three
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: different women who came together and decided to build this.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So so I've got to ask, what is something you've
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: each learned from the from the other's generation doing this?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I love that's usually a good answer.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: We did have a we had a great episode. It
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: was called Bridging the Gap because we won. If you've
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: ever had business partners in general, but then when you
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: have business partners across generations where there is different understanding.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: So we in this episode about virgin the Gap. We
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: had had a meeting and the meeting wasn't going very well.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You could feel the tension, the frustration. None of us
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: really knew why or what it was, but really it
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: opened up that differences between the generations and making sure
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that everyone's aligned. I'm very techy, so I'm going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: be sending you an email. I'm doing everything very fast,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and Judy wasn't following what we were doing, so we
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: were just talking up people.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: A different language.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So it really brought us together to say, how do
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: how do we bridge the gap between us to help
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: others bridge that gap from a grandmother to a granddaughter
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: who the granddaughter's like texting grandma and grandma's like not
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: following the whole thing, or like she feels left out
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: because she's not involved or not knowing what's going on.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: So it kind of helps us to see this picture.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: So we've learned more of you know, if we thought
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we were going to start this and it was going
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to be perfect, we were very mistaken. But we've grown
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: ourselves in how we're communicating and sharing some of that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: knowledge and learnings.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I think the beauty is we can laugh at where
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: we've come from, continue to yeah, and continue to grow
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: because it was it was difficult because those two are
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: in corporate. They do technical things all the time, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting there listening to a foreign language. Didn't have
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: a clue, and yet they thought they'd explain thoroughly to
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: me while I was.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Going So, how does you know having and hosting these
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: multi generational conversations affected the way that you interact with
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the you know, the people in your own lives outside
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of the show.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think for me, it's opened my eyes
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: more and made me realize that we need to meet
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: people at different places, right, so not everyone is in
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the same season or in the same point, and so
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that's multiplied across the generations. And so just having that
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: kindness for the different generations, you know, will have the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: older generation who says the younger generation is, you know whatever,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: they're too busy on their phones. They don't they what
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: are they doing? They're not hard workers. But on the
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: flip side, the younger generation is saying things about the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: older So I think it's helping to bridge that we
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: are all in this life together and we're all learning
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: things at different stages. But everyone has value. My value
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: may be different than Judy's value, but we have value.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And so rather than pinpointing, oh, this is the older
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: generation or this is the younger generation. Just understand that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: we're all in this together, and we're all trying to learn,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and we're all at different paces of our seasons.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I think it's helped maybe more patient and more loving
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: because it's a choice whether we how we interact in
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: our relationships. But I think when you take a break,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: just pause for a minute and listen. Sometimes we're so
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: busy creating the response that he don't hear what someone's
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: saying in any relationship. And so it's helped me become
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: a more patient, older person and not have my feelings
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: out there getting bumped because I realize that people aren't
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: naturally mean for the most part, and they're doing how
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: they know how to live life, and so I just
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: have to sit back and love them where they're at sure,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and appreciate what comes to me, you know, as a gift,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: because good or bad. It's teaching me how to be
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: more tolerant and more accepting and loving of people. Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: No, I like that because I've always tried to and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I mean sometimes I fail at it, but I always
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: try to remember to think that when I disagree with somebody,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that person it's not that you're stupid or that you're eviler,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that you're mean. Right, if I had lived your exact
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: same life up to that point, I would thoroughly believe
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: what you believe. And so it's kind of bridging that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: gap and trying to understand where that other person is
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: coming from. I would imagine.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a huge piece is putting yourself.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, we can't always put ourselves in someone else's shoes,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: but when somebody reacts a certain way or does a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: certain thing, you kind of have to take it and say,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: don't take it personal, but think about maybe where they're
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: coming from, or understand like that's just where they are
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: in their life right now, and give them time, be patient,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: be kind, because everyone is going through something and there's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a lot to learn from just other people's existence.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and some of your episodes you've looked at letting go.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: What's what's a personal insight you've gained about releasing old patterns?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Absolute necessity. Yeah, if you don't let go, you can't
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: make room for new things and new opportunities. And I
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: think it's human nature to hang on tight to what's familiar,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: not necessarily that it's good for us, sure, but it's familiar.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, we talk about the abused woman. You know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: how many times does she makes a break in Within
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: a short amount of time she goes right back, not
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: because it's good for but because it's what she knows.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And I think allowing ourselves to grow and start realizing
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: what's healthy for us may not feel comfortable. It may
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: not be in our comfort zone to step out and
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: to become all the women, excuse me, all the women
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you were meant to be or all the man you
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: were meant to be that kind of thing. So I
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: think that's important. If you can't let go of things,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: you're never going to get past it either.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: And it's you know, it's in multiple aspects, whether it
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: be you know, relationships that you need to let go of,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: friends that maybe are not good for you anymore you're realizing,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you know, this is comfortable, but maybe it's time, or
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: even getting letting go of things in your closet. No
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: lett no, not that you know it's okay, Like sometimes
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: letting go of those things allows new things to come in,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and it also allows you to kind of step into
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the new person you are. You know, we're wearing the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: same thing from when you were fifteen is kind of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: keeping you stuck in that. You know, younger, younger age
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: kids call me a harder. She finally she did. She
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: went through her closet not that long ago. I'm very
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: proud of her. But it is it's it's letting go
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in all aspects to let let more in because we
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: have to make room. We can't just keep shoving things
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: into our lives without letting go of something.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, ladies, we are about at a time. Is
• 13:48

• 13:50
