  Speaker 3: School is back in session. I cannot believe it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I know, I hate it every year. I say it
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: every year. I hate when my son goes to school
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: because then he's not home. And besides that, it's just
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: like I think, heaving to get up early. He's in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: middle school now, so it's six o'clock. I have to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: get up, get him going, and then he you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he's out the door by seven. But still it's like, oh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I just want to sleep in if I could.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Well, we were talking earlier that you know, both of
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: us and not just both of us, a lot of us,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of people that we both know have been
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: having trouble sleeping. And I've always had trouble sleeping, but
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: this has been like insane. Yeah, it's almost like every
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: hour I'm up tossing, turning. You know, I'm up from
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: two to four then you know, six o'clock and it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: so annoying.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. My sister said, oh, it's the moon.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lunary clips or something like that. So I'm
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: all right, it needs to hurry itself up and get
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know, do what has to do, and let's go
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: because I need my sleep. Yeah it's I don't.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Know, but you're affected by it all the time.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every month, every full moon, that whole week and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: like a few days after I don't sleep and I'm like, oh,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it must be the full moon. I look at my calendar. Yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it is a full moon. So it affects me certain people.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: They say the moon affects certain people. It doesn't also
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for women. A lot of women who get their mental
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: during the moon, and I do too, so it's kind
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of my mental cycle syncs up with the full moon.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I'm like a witch or something. Now. I don't know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but yeah, hopefully the moon figures her crap out and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I can get some sleep soon.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Well, it has never affected me that I noticed up
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: until like last week.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what my sister said. It was a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: lunar eclipse, so something was stronger. I guess something more
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: crazy this time.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Well, everything is just has been crazy here, not just
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in the environment, in the weather, by.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The world, in the world.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It has just been insane.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Like I just, I don't know, very draining. I feel
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like lately the world, the environment, that just even the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: moon is just draining me, draining my emotional state, my
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: mental state.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, yes, I I'm just that's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: how I feel. It was very drained. I always feel drained,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: as you know. I went for iron infusions to give
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: me more energy, and that did not work out very well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: As always, yeah, as.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Usual, something always goes wrong. I was so excited, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the first two times that I had the iron infusions,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I did not have a reaction. I was so excited.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: And the third time we go in and they give
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: me the infusion and my feet swell up and they're
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: burning and tingling and I can't feel my feet and
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: they overdosed me.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's insane, Like the medical world is just we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: always say this, The lack of common sense in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: medical world is just shocking. It doesn't shock me anymore,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but it is shocking when you come to think like
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: these people go to school for how long? And yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: they're so smart and they can't think of the simplest
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: little things that are common.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: See, come on, Yeah, they did blood work on week
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: two and supposed to do it on week four. Week two,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: they did the blood work, the machine didn't read it. Okay, fine,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I said, I will come back. They said, no, we'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: wait till your next appointment. I go in for my
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: third infusion. They do the blood work and you know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think anything of it, and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: they just they'd give me the infusion. And what they
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: should have said was, hey, let's wait for your blood work.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So what Shauna was saying is week two and four
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they have to do her blood work to check her
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ferretin levels, yes, to see her iron levels. Okay, like, hey,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: did the first infusion work or the second one, Let's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: check your levels to see where you're at if you're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: better now. They didn't do that because there was a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: problem with that blood result. So they're like, oh, we'll
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: do your blood before your third infusion. And you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Seana is not supposed to know this stuff, but they
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: should have been like, let's because we didn't check it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: week two. Let's check it before we give her this
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: third infusion.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Exactly, and they did not. So I ended up calling
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: them and saying, you know, this is what's going on
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: with me. They asked me if I'm having trouble breathing,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: if my throat was closing, blah blah blah, and I said, no,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: but my feet are swallowing up. But I can't move
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: my ankles.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And your leg's hurt. Right.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: My legs were in so much pain, excruciating pain from
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the swelling and just from being overloaded with iron, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: my toes couldn't bend. I couldn't feel my toes. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: guess that is due to them being well swollen. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I go to urgent Care, and urgent Care was arguing
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: with me that it's not the infusion, it's a blood clot.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: But what they did not tell me was that the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: iron infusions, if you have too much iron, that can
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: cause a blood clot. They did not say it that way.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: They kept saying the it's not the iron infusion, it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: a blood clot. It's a blood clot. Go to the ear,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: go to the ar. And I'm not going.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: To the er.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I'm here. I know it's not a blood clot. I
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: know it's the infusion. It literally happened ten fifteen minutes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: We pulled in the driveway and I got out of
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the car and I'm like, my feet are burning, Like yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: it was almost like I was stepping on a uh patio,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: A hot patio, A hot patio. Yeah, in the summer,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: with no shoes on. That's what it felt like.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: She's the crazy thing is she She's called the infusion
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: center first and said, hey, I'm having a reaction. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: just left there.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, and they said. The lady said to me,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: it wasn't my nurse that I spoke to, but she
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: was on she knows me, and she said, hold on,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: let me look at the list of side effects and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: see if those side effects are on the list. So
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: she looks at it and she says, well, those side
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: effects aren't on the list, so go to urgent care
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: or go to the.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Er, and so basically telling her it's not from the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: infusion exactly when we know it is from the infusion.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Right. So after I go to urgent care, I go home.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: They gave me an oral steroid in urgent care and
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: they had me stay there for like another half hour
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: and the lady comes in and she's like, how's your legs?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I was like getting bigger. She's like, oh no, this
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: should not be happening. So she said, by the time
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that she came in, the swelling should have gone down
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: at least a little bit. It did not. She said
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: to me, well, I called the hematologist on call and
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: he said that it's not related to the infusion. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I said, it is related to the infusion. It happened
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: fifteen minutes after the infusion. M hm, So I go.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: She says, listen, Okay, go home, she said, but promise
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: me if it gets worse, you'll go to the er.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I said, of course I will. So the next day
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I go back to urgent Care and what do you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: my level was a two sixty seven the day of
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: that I got that infusion, which is high. So the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: following day I went back to Lurgerent Care and it
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: was to seventy eight I think, or to seventy seven,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: which is even higher. So my doctor called me and
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you know, he apologized and he's like, oh, I got
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you in a pickle. And he's a great guy. But
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you know, I said, they really should have chucked my
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: levels beforehand, and you know I would have even come back, yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: you know, a different day.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And that's where the lack of common sense comes into
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: play exactly.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: And then I went to the infusion center to tell
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: them what happened, and the nurse there pretty much gas
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: lit me and was telling me that it couldn't have
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: been been.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Nope, not it, it's not nope, sorry, sorry, highly unusual.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the iron infusion. I was there, guys,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I Shanna could tell you. I was livid. I had paperwork,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I printed up case reports and she's left out this
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: part a quick Google search. When Shauna texted me the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: first time it happened, Hey, I just got back from
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: my infusion. Feet are swollen this. I just did a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: quick Google search.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, I did too.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And that's a common side effect of iron infusions. A
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: common side effect. It wasn't rare, it's common. And these
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: nurses look at a sheet instead of let me it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: not on the sheet, but let me google that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't do that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, one wants to just go the extra mile.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: No, because doctor Google. They don't believe in doctor Google.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: But doctor Google's right exactly. So it's it's just crazy.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: It just boggles my mind. It's crazy to me, you know.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: And all I kept thinking to myself is we are
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: in the cancer center. What are they doing to the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: other patients that actually have cancer and are getting chemo
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: radiation and all that. Are they overdosing them too? Because
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it's not their job to look at the blood test results,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: because that's what they told me, That's what that girl said.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It's not our job too.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: The doctor prescribes the infusion, we give the infusion. They
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: want blood work, week two, week four, We draw it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: It's not our job to look at it. It's the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: patient's job to look at it. And if they if
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: they have questions, they need to contact the doctor. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I said, well, who would have known?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: They took your blood two seconds before your infusion, so
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the right thing would have been, you know, sorry, your
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: blood work didn't work last week when we did this,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So why don't we take the blood now? Are you
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: okay with coming back later before we give you the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: iron infusion so your doctor can see your blood results?
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Exactly? Well, in fairness, I would have seen them first,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I think, and then I would have because they come
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: to my phone.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Oh oh oh blood result. Yeah, I didn't know what
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he meant, like seeing the nurse fer stuff.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, the blood test results go to your
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: my chart and I could see them pretty much before the.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Doctor, so you would have known.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So I would have seen like, hey, there it's high
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: let me call the doctor and make sure that he
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: still wants me to get this infusion. Yeah, he would
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: have said, like he told me on the phone, you
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: didn't you didn't need a third one, and you definitely
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: don't need a fourth one, so cancel your appointment.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, it's it's really in this we always talk about.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: This is advocating for yourself. Now we know, and now
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you know, showing us spreading the message, like before you
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: get infusions for any kind of supplement or whatever, check
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: your blood work. Make sure because you can get overdosed.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You could, like she said, you can get it a
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: blood clot. It could be really serious. So yeah, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: these doctors and nurses need to do their job more.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And these nurses can't just say if they're working in
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a cancer and fusion center, that's a big deal and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: they should double check. And I told the lady that,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and she didn't agree with the nurse and she didn't
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: want to agree that this was from the iron in fusion.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So doctors gaslight you. They don't want to do simple
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: searches online and just advocate for yourself. You know, that's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that's the best thing that you can do.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I know, I really hope that that urgent care doctor
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: that me and you both saw, because you were actually
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: at the urgent care the same time. I was. Yeah,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I hope that he did call the hospital and say
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: something to them. Yeah, he said he was going to.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: He said this shouldn't have happened. He couldn't believe that
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: we came in with case studies.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, I've never had a patient bring in
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: case studies. I'm like, well, I that's what I do.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's what I do because I've done this before, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you guys don't know something, so I gotta teach you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: And you know, he was very thankful, and he actually
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: from those case studies and the research that me and
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Lalla bought him, he actually did do extra blood work
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: and he did run me run tests for different things,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: and all the blood work pretty much came back normal. Yes,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I mean it was a little off because my iron
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: levels were so high, but in retrospect everything was normal,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: thank god.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I meet with the hematologist this week, and that's the
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: other thing. I couldn't get into see the hematologist or
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: a hematologist until this week.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: So it's just it's crazy to me. The medical just
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: absolutely just broken.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I know, we need a lot of updating on it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not the worst in the world, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it's definitely you know, we gotta count our blessings where
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: we can, but it can use a lot of work.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, And the judicial system is even broken now that
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Judge Frank Carprio.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Oh I know he died.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's so so sad.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Oh it's been it's been one heartbreak after another. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: feel like this month. I'm honestly, I was crying all yesterday,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: just so emotional over the stabbing. I'm sure everyone's seen it,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: heard about it of Arena and I. When I first
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: saw it, of course, came in the news, I'm like, oh,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: another crime. I was upset. Then last night I saw
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the whole footage and guys, it wasn't the stabbing wasn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: traumatizing to me. It was upsetting, of course, disgusting, evil.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: But what was what traumatized me and what really messed
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: me up was the people that just sat there and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: watched her die. And that broke my heart and I'm
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: gonna start crying again. I was sobbing for hours at
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: my house last night because I was you see the video,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: this poor girl she stabbed. They see that she stabbed.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting them to stop the man from stabbing
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: because you know, my husband's a cop. He tells me
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: that people are more afraid of a criminal with a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: knife versus a gun. Knives are very dangerous. Yeah, Mike
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: said that, like that that's their worst case scenarios when
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: someone has a knife, because they can get to you
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in a few seconds and do a lot of damage.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know why, that's what he tells me. So,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: And you can't really with a gun. You could wrestle
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: it away when you're close to them, but a knife,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it's hard. You're gonna hurt yourself trying to get that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the knife away from them. So I didn't expect anyone
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to jump in and like made the guy stop stabbing
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: her because it all happened in a few seconds. But
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: what I did expect was some common human decency, a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: human heart to go run over to her and say
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: are you okay? And put some pressure on that wound
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and comfort her and say you're gonna be okay or
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, are you you know, give her some love,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: give her some some sort.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Of comfort, or call nine one one.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And the girl was looking at them in shock and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: like like help me, you know, with her eyes and scared,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and they stared at her and they looked away, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the one guy ran away, and she just she died
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: by herself. And the last thing this poor girl knew
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: was evil. And that breaks my heart that she all
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: she knew was fear and evil, and not that those
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: people could have saved her life because she was bleeding
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: so bad, but just the human touched the human comfort
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: like you you know me, Shauna. Shauna has been with me.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this multiple times. I jump into every
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: situation she does when I shouldn't. She does, so I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: scare Shaona. I don't care how small I am. I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: don't care that I'm a woman. I will jump into
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: any situation to try to save someone or help someone.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And and that's why I think it really hurts me
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: or disgusts me that they they couldn't even do as
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: simple are you okay, honey, are you're gonna be fine?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Everything's you know, something to comfort her. They couldn't do that.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You couldn't even do words. You couldn't give her words
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of comfort.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: The girl that was sitting across from her was just
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: sitting on her phone.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Right. She looked over, she saw what happened. She looked
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: at her. They made eye contact, and she looked out
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the window like eh, and the girl falls over and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: is dying on the floor. And the girl still looks
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and doesn't get up.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't see that part.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: It was just it was horrible. It was it traumatized
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: me more so. Like I said, the stabbing was horrible,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: but it was traumatizing watching her die alone when there
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: was people around her that could have comforted or tried
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to put pressure on that wound and no one did.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And it really, it like made me so disappointed in
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: humanity and it's broken my heart completely. I just I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: just keep thinking about those last moments for her, of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: just being alone when she didn't have to be. It
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: speaks volumes. I always bring this up about humans. Now,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Is that we've lost this connection. We've lost some sort
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of connection where every I was watching a lot of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Instagram reels where people are saying they witnessed someone get
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: hit by a car and no one did anything. They
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: all pulled out their phones to record it, and all
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: their brain is thinking, Oh, I can't wait to post
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: this online or I can't wait to send this to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: this one. How did we get to this point? What
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: happened to humanity? And like, I don't understand when that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: one time that the guy was about to kill himself
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and jump off the bridge and I saw him. I remember,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I told you, so many people just walked past him,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: drove past him, no one did anything. I had to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: tell my husband pull the car over, that guy's gonna jump,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and my husband wouldn't let me go over to him
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: because God forbid. So I had to watch my husband
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: go there and talk him down. So but I'm like,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: how many people passed him? How many people didn't give
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a crap? How did we get to this point that
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we're not looking out for each other, that we're not
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: helping each other, And it really it's like, I'm so
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: fearful for my babies in the future. Are we losing
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Are we losing compassion? Are we losing that connection with
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: other human beings? Like it's the phones are not helping that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: That's all people's brains want is Oh, I gotta film this.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to help. I don't want to get involved.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna film it and go viral. That's what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like it is, especially this younger generation. So
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it's like, how do we get that back? How do
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: we go backwards and bring back humanity, compassion, decency, helping
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: each other out? I don't know. And they say in
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: these moments to look for the good, but it's like
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: it's so hard right now. And you just said we
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: just got breaking news.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Charlie Kirk, who is a activist. He goes to
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: different colleges and speaks. He was at Utah University and
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: he just got shot.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I thought it was gonna be a college student. It
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: was not. It looks to me to be like an
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: older man. Yeah, and they did get him. They handcuffed him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: He is now with the police.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Just one thing after another. It's horrible. He has babies.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: No matter your political views, guys, no matter our political beliefs,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: we cannot be doing this to each other. You love
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: him or hate him. He has babies at home, he
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: has a family. There's no need for this violence. I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: don't know. I gotta look for the good. I gotta try.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: It's just very hard lately, it really is.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Our prayers are with Charlie and all his family.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: His poor wife. I can't even imagine right now, his
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: poor wife and his kids. Oh God, we need to stop.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: We need to come together. And I don't know if
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that's possible. I really don't, but I'm praying every day
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to God that it is possible. I gotta light in
• 19:54

  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much. I'm excited to chat with
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you guys.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, so I know you were in a horrible, horrible
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: car accident at seventeen, But how did that change your life?
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Obviously that was life changing.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know my entire life. I grew up knowing
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be a dancer. I didn't really know
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: what that meant, but I was like I want to
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: be touring and beyond music videos. Like I would wake
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: up every morning and before school I would watch just
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: like so many music videos on like mtvv one, like
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: all the time. That's what I just grew up watching.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I want to be in music videos.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: So I knew I wanted to be a dancer, but
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what that like meant or like how
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: that would transpire into like a career. I knew I
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: wanted to move to Los Angeles, but being classified as
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: disabled at the age of seventeen, I was like, what
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: does that mean? I didn't know anybody with really a disability.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't know anybody with the spinal cord injury. So honestly,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: it flipped my entire world upside down, same with my
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: family and my friends. And I felt like in the beginning,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you know, relearning how to just like sit in my
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: body was just you know, it was everything was different. Everything.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't even imagine. I mean, I was born
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: with CP and I had to learn how to do
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: things differently.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. One of my first friends when I got injured,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: her name is Kayla, and she is incredible. She reached
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: out to me because she lived in the town next
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to me and she had strip with palsy, and she
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: would just be like, let's go get dinner, let's go
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: get lunch, let's go and I was like okay, like yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: and we were just talking about things about just being disabled,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and you know, she was disabled her whole life. So
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: like being able to know somebody that early on into
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: my injury was really really helpful.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I have found that, you know, people kind of
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: enter your life and then they leave you. You know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: you don't fit what their life is going to be,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: but that's fine.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, with a lot of my
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: friends in high school and stuff like I think, just
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: naturally in high school your friends go off and they
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: go to college. I thought I was going to go
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: off and go, you know, to college like my friends
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and move out of my town. And that just wasn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: in the cards for me. I guess you could say. Yeah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: And so you know, my friends, we all still stay
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: in touch. But I love being able to watch them
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: go off and do their own thing. But I kind
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of felt like, okay, well what about me, Like, now
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: what do I do? I'm you know, paralyzed, still in
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: my hometown. And then I was like, well, I'm going
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: to move to Los Angele. So I was on a
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: reality show, but that that brought me to to kind
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: of like, you know, see what the next step would be.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: And what reality show were you on?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I was on a show called push Girls on the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Sundance Channel.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, I know that's awesome.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: So what are the roletts and what inspired you to
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: create that movement? It's a huge women's movement. We love it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You know. I honestly just wanted friends. Honestly,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: in the very beginning, I just wanted to meet other
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: people that were like me. And because of Push Girls,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I kind of had this like platform on social media
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: that I could. I reached out to some girls and
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, Hey, do you want to come, you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: hang out in my hometown. Do you want to maybe
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: dance and can get dinner, We'll have some sleepovers. And
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: six of them said yes, We'll all six of them.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I reached out. She said yes, and so they came
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to my hometown in twenty twelve and we did dance classes,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: we went to dinner, we will rolled around Target. We
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: had to sleepover some house. They were literally sleeping on
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the floor of my house, Like I don't know, we
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: honestly didn't know what we were doing back then, and
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: it was just really nice to be able to like
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: be in my hometown and show also my hometown like
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not the only person that has a spinal cord
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: injury that's young, you know, I'm not the only person
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: that like made a mistake and became paralyzed. Like that
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: was really like my driving force is I wanted friends,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: and I also wanted to show my community that, like
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I wasn't the only person that was like young disabled
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and wanted to like move on with their lives. At
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the time, so because my accent in my hometown was
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: so big, nobody knew of anybody really with the disability,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: and so for me, I started because I wanted something.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: And then now it's I don't know, every year it's
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: different because every year we have like different girls that
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: come in, and it's been really cool to see girls
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: come and be part of Rolettes and then be like,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: oh wait, I want to go back to college, or
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I really love photography, or I want to go get married.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Like it's really really cool to kind of see this
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: like evolution and Rolettes is kind of just grown with me,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: you know, like when I was I don't know, twenty
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: one when I first started it, maybe twenty one, I
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: hear it, maybe something like that. Two and to where
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I am now thirty three and I'm married with a kid.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's really cool to just see how
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: it's just blossomed and grown. I can't wait to see
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: what the future holds.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Did you ever imagine you'd be working with Lady Gaga?
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: No? Never. It's crazy because actually one of the first
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: songs that I danced to when I was paralyzed was
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: a Lady Gaga song, and it was crazy to see that,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: like me performing for my first time in my wheelchair
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: was to a Lady Gaga song. It was like in
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the mix. And to now be like, oh my god,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I was in one of her like fan music videos.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: It's just a really cool, full circle moment, and it
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: makes me want to like go back and hug that
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: like little seventeen year old Chelsea that was like in
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the hospital and be like it's gonna be okay. So
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: that's just really cool. So definitely full circle.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: That's a dream come true.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Thanks, So you're not only the CEO of Rolettes. But
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you're a disabled mom a performer, and how do you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: juggle I'm a mom, so how do you juggle both
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: motherhood and running a business and traveling? Like, how do
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you do that?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I will be honest, there's times I don't. There is
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: times I cannot handle it. Sometimes I'm like, wow, I
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: really bid off more than I can chew, for sure.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: But I will say that it takes a village, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I'm really trying to figure out a way to show
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: how it takes a village because I don't want everyone
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: seeing like, oh, she's doing it all because I don't
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: like I have an incredible team behind me. I have
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: an incredible like the rolettes are amazing. Connor who runs
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the social media, is amazing. Brias our COEO. You know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: we brought on a board, so like, I am really
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: trying to show that, like Rolette's experience is not it's
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: not just me anymore. It is so many more people
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. So I will say it takes a village,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and I feel like I really built up for this
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: moment to be able to be like, Okay, I can
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: kind of take a step back, and Rolettes are self
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: sufficient rolettes experience is self sufficient, and I can just
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: like some days just be mom and not be like, Okay,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I have the CEO hat on, then I have a
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: friend hat on, and then I'm mom, and then I'm wife,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: and then I'm oh, yeah, I'm disabled too. So I
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: have all of that stuff on top of it. Like
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: it's it is a lot, but it takes a village,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: it really really does. And I can't say that I
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: do it all on my own because I don't.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good, you need the sport. Everybody needs a
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: support and I wish that everyone could have support, and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: they're not us moms. We have a lot on our
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: plates and a lot that no one even sees what
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: do they call it, the yeah, invisible like checklists, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I had constantly going.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: On rush absolutely and it's crazy that, like, you know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I never grew up around like kids younger than me, right,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Like I was the baby of the family, so like
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: all my cousins were like all older than me, and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I was always like the baby. My mom is the
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: baby of you know, her sisters, and I was the
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: baby of all my cousins. So growing up like I
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: was never around kids, so I didn't really understand like, oh,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: moms have a lot, Like I always knew they did, right,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: But then being a mom, holy moly, Like you're not
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: only thinking about like all of your stuff for the checklist,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: and you're like packing the lunches and then you're getting
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: them ready and then bathtime, you know, nighttime routine war.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: It's honestly, it's a lot of fun. It's a lot
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: of fun. But I will say, like when I feel
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: like I have too much on my plate, it's that's
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: when I'm like, whoa, Okay, I have to figure out
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: like how to get things off my plate now, you.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Know, Yes, yeah it's hard. I mean I don't have kids,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: but I see what goes through.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot, but yeah, and then adding on
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: the disability factor of it, you know, like scheduling yourself
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: or like making sure you're resting, getting off your butt,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: making sure you're going to the bathroom, like making sure
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: you have all your catheter is, making like it's you know, yeah,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: it's a lot. And yeah, being pregnant also with the disability.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I being pregnant, I loved it. I was living my
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: best life. The first three months, I was incredibly sick,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: but I was little my best life. But it definitely
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like being pregnant made me realize like how
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: truly truly strong like I was, you know, like I
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: was like it was all also probably all the hormones.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, I could take on the world, you know,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: And now I'm like, oh my god, that was a lot.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It is a lot. It is, especially when you have
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: an illness or disability. It's it's a whole different ballpark.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And then you're met with doctors probably I don't know
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: if you went through that where they're like, I've never
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: dealt with this before. Let's figure this out and let
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I my, it's interesting, Like and I wish I
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: could just talk to a board of doctors and be like,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: can we figure out how to make streamlining disability and
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: pregnancy better because I feel like for the nine months,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I was like so diligent about making sure that my
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: anstaesiologist knew like I have spine, I have a spine injury,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I have rods in my back. I made sure everyone
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: knew what was going on, and literally they were like, oh, yeah,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: it'll be fine. I went in to give birth and
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: they were like, we can't give you an epideral, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I was like, excuse me, what what you knew I
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: was coming in for the last nine months and you
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden can't do it. So I just
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: wish like if they knew that ahead of time, that
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: they would have been like, hey, these are the other
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: steps we're going to make. And I could have been
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: ready for it because I labored for sixteen hours with
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: no pain meds. Because so I was like, all right, fine,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be awake from my daughter's birth. And I
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: fought and fought and fought and then ended up not
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: working out. But yeah, I just wish I could like
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: be more involved in that, I know, educational process of it,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's the next step for you, you know, right, yeah.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe baby number two.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: I think we have to educate these doctors, you know.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: I have found that that is my mission is to
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: educate these doctors. I think they know it all and
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: say like, not everyone is the same. Yeah, everyone is different,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: and we know our bodies.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, And sometimes they have to actually listen to
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: us because I think sometimes we also know what's going
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: on in our bodies and we're not all the same. Right,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: like every spinal cord injury is not the same. Every
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: person with cerebral palsy isn't the same. Like it's very interesting,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: but yeah.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. I mean they I remember I just was
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: supposed to get an MRI don and they wouldn't do
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: it because my arms don't extend and I had rods
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: in my spine and they went through the whole thing
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: and the cardiologist was like, are you kidding me.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, they wouldn't do it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't do it, and she's like crazy. It's also
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: too I went to get an MRI on my shoulder
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: because I tore my shoulder. I have a tear in
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: both my shoulders actually, but in my left shoulder. It
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: was last year, and they like put me through the
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: ring or trying to figure out if I could go
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: get an MRID. I was like, you guys, I could
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: get an MRI and they're like, well, you can't go
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: to this facility because like you have to walk to
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the MRI table. I said no, I don't like what.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So I literally fought them and fought them and I
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: almost like filed something. So I was like, you guys,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: this is discrimination, Like I can transfer from my chair
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: to the MRI machine, like you guys don't have to
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: lift me. It was it was like just when people
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: don't when they're not educated, and then they just assume,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: they just like shut it down. So yeah, I think
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: the more we can advocate and the more we can
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: talk about things, the better.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I think that they find they cover their buck by
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: just shutting you down. I don't know, it's scary. It's
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: scary for the person going through it. Like you probably
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: not scared, but you know, like what the heck's going on? Yeah,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: when I was pregnant with my astome, my guy I know,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: was like, you can't give birth, don't You can't give
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: birth naturally, we can't do a C section. I said, well,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: then how's the baby coming out? I don't know. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: don't know how it's going to come out. You have
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: scar tissue. And I was scared. And I think that
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: if a doctor doesn't know, they shouldn't just say that
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to you. They should go research it first so you
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: don't freak like I'm like, oh, this baby's fucking me.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, like baby's coming out either way, I wear
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: another it's coming out.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But yes, we have to figure out a way
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: to get doctors to understand this and advocate for ourselves.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: And it's a lot of extra work.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So how do you handle doubts of discouragement, especially
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: as a CEO and a leader that every woman looks
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: up to. I mean, you have a huge fan base.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Our disability community follows you. My personal friends in wheelchairs,
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: they follow you. My one friend, I was like so
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: excited that I was interviewing you. I was talking to
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: her about it, and she's like, oh, I want to
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: take her class, like her experience. She's like, but she's like,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I'm just so nervous. She's like I just talked myself
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: out of it. You have to not do that, Like
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: you can't do that.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I will say one thing, I there's sometimes
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: a part of me that's like I don't give a
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I don't care, you know, like where I'm like I'm
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: gonna do whatever I want. I'm gonna do whatever I want.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: But then there's another side of me that's like I'm
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: terrified that I'm gonna make the wrong move or I'm
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: gonna like do something wrong. And I think like both
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: personalities can like exist where you can be like bals
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: the wall, like, let's go I don't care, Like, let's
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: build an entire role, let's experience and then figure it
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: out when we get there. And then the other side
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: of me is like, well, I don't want to mess
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: up and I don't want you know. So I think,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: like I do doubt myself a lot, but also I
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: don't if that makes sense, Like I think sometimes I'm
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: like I have this like imposter syndrome that like we
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: would talk about in Bounless Babe Society that like I
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: think it's normal to feel like this imposter syndrome to
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: be like is this really me? Because I mean on
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: social media, people are like, oh my gosh, like and
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: then for me, I'm like, listen, I'm just like you guys,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Like I just have been doing social media for ten years,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: so like, you know, I'm not new to this world
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: of like social media. But like I think when people
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: get to know me and they see me, they realize
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: that I'm just like their other friends, you know. Yeah,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think, like, yes, I doubt myself a lot,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: but also I think what pushes me with Rolette's experience
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: is a few things, Like I started it because I
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: wanted that I grew up in the competitive dance world,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: and when I became paralyzed, I was like, wait, there's
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: no platform for people with disabilities to like compete, and
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: there's no platform for like a community of people like
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: all girls just to get together and hang out like what.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: So I was just like, all right, I want to
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: I want to start it. So my dad really plays
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: a big role in that, where he was like, well,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: let's just do it. Like he never would be like well,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know how. He'd just be like all right,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: let's do it, like okay, And I think, yeah, like
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: we'll figure out as we go. And I think, like
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: how that mentality early on into my diagnosis was like
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: a blessing because I never saw no as an answer.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I never saw a door that I couldn't unlock. You know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I may not have been able to have the key,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: but I could find it and I could unlock it
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. So I think with everyone that it's
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: nervous to go to Rolette's experience, I think it's one
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: of those things that you kind of just got to
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: give it a try and just say fuck it and
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: go yeah, because you know, you never know who you're
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: gonna meet every single year. Rolette experience is so different
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: from the last. Like you may have a great time
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: one year and the next year might be like, all right,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: this was okay, or you might then the next year
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: might be like that was the best experience ever. So
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: it just depends on the year, depends on who's going,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: and depends on how you go into the weekend mentally
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: So if somebody wanted to sign up, is it is
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: it in one place? So like my friend would fly
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: out to California.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So usually what it is is we have it
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: at the Sheraton right by Lax. So we always have
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: it at Lax now blest my gosh, five years because
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: it's right by a central you know, airport. So then
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: you fly into Lax, there's an accessible shuttle that picks
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: you up, takes you the Sheraton, and then you just
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: stay there the whole time. So we picked the Sheraton
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: because it's actually the only hotel in California that has
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: forty four accessible rooms. Every other place has like max
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: twenty one rooms that are accessible. When you have two
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty minimum people in wheelchairs coming in from
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: all over the world, doesn't really work. So we actually
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: have like multiple hotels that we do room blocks with,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: but you stay there the whole time, and it's usually
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: like a Thursday to Sunday. This year was Wednesday was
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: our Boundless Talent Showcase, and then Rolltz Experience started Thursday.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Next year, twenty twenty six, we are switching it up
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit more, so we'll probably be announcing that
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: in like November this year.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: But awesome, Yeah, And do you go? Do you personally
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: go every year?
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Well, every single year. I haven't missed one year.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Oh my gods, amazing.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: And even for twenty twenty we went fully virtual. We
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: literally produced an entire show like top not Show in
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty. It was legit. It was so cool. Now
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: every year I go, JJ goes, my husband goes. This year,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I actually got reminded that like I am not what's
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: the word, like, I'm not a superwoman. Saturday morning, my
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: uti hit me like a ton of bricks and I
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: was so incredibly sick. Saturday morning, I was like prolonging.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I was like drinking water, drinking cambrid juice, taking my Alura,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: like taking all the stuff ones and then Saturday my
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: body shut down. Seven months of planning roles experience like
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: and he was like, remember you're disabled, you need to chill.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: And so I was sick from like all night Saturday
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: morning till like three o'clock in the afternoon, and I just.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't plan for everything, right, It's horrible. It's horrible.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like crying in my hotel room.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I have vlogged. I have a second vlog coming out
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: next week, but I was like crying in my hotel
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: room because I just felt like I was letting everyone down,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: you know, like it was my first year. I was
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to teach the kids class and do
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: a music video with them, and I just felt so bad.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: But I'm not superwoman. I can think, but I'm not.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well we know that.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to take care of yourself and it
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: does suck. Your body's gonna tell you slow down. You know,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I'm in charge exactly.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: So if you could go back and talk to your
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: younger self before your accident, what would you tell her now,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: knowing what you've built and achieved being disabled and being
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: an adult.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Now, I would honestly tell her that I would just
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: say it, hold on tight. Because this is gonna be
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: a wild ride and everything that you've ever wanted is
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: going to be the same but different, and you're gonna
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: be able to go and do everything you want. It's
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: just gonna look a little different. And I don't think
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I would tell her everything that would happen, but I
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: would just be like, trust me, you'll be okay, you know,
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Like I think so many people look at us and
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh my gosh, they can't walk, and it's like,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: that's the least of my worries at this point. Yeah, ladder,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: the bow, the like bone density. I'm like, we got
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: other things we have to deal with, like other things
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you have to worry about later in life. Like the
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: walking is I can achieve. I can achieve everything I
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: want and not walk Like that's fine. It's the it's
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: the actual, like what happens to our body that I'm like, Okay,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I need your body, you know.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: So, yes, I suffer from IBS.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel your girl. Yeah rough, it's rough,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people don't realize like walking at
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: the least of a lot of our worries, especially when
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: you've like been your whole life disabled, like you're like
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I have other things that I wish could like be
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: easier than just walking, you know.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I have trouble walking far distances, so I
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: have like a little transport chair, and I find you
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: probably have found that some of these transport chairs are
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: not built for us, Like there's not a small chair
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: for me. So I'm in this like ginormous thing and
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: it's just it's a mess. I mean, I'll probably see
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: you at the Abilities Expo and yeah, you're gonna be like.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Wow, but it's crazy.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: That yeah, I don't have And they actually when I
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: was at the Abilities Expo, they said there's not a
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: market for small chairs for adults. I said, I'm not
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: the only four foot thirty six year old, Yeah, with
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: a disability, trust me, there's a market.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: There is, Yeah, And I think people don't they just
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: look at it. It's such like a wide scope where
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: it's like if some if one person needs it, there's
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: way more people that need it. They just don't know
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: how to like advocate for their self, or they're not
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: like out there quote unquote enough, or you know, there's
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: there is if you need it, there's a lot of
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: other people that need it. And that's why I think
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I've learned about just like what I do is with
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Rollot's experience. I'm like, if I needed it, then I
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: literally put out on social media. We went from thirty
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: two people to one hundred and fifteen in one year.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Like wow.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: And that's when I was like the wow, more people
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: need it, you know. So I think that's with every industry.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: I think that's like in the medical field, in dance, whatever.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: But like, if you need it, someone else needs it,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: you know, see it being done. If you want to
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: create it, create it because there'll be a lot of
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: people that need it, you know.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, except I'm not handy in the well in the
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: architecture space.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: To somebody and I do some research.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: You never know, yeah, you never know. What advice would
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: you give to young women with disabilities like us who
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: want to turn their passion into a career or a
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: business and be successful.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. What would I say? I would say,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: find other like minded people that are interested in the
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: same thing as you. If you can't find them, reach
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: out on social media and that doesn't work, then just
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: start it and get the word out there. Because I
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: feel like with me along my journey of last like
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: fifteen years of just pushing something that I was passionate about.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: What I found is when you're passionate about something, it's
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: going to attract other people that are also passionate, or
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: that not only are passionate about what you're passionate about,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: but they're passionate about you and they believe in you.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: And I think if when people believe in you as
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: a person, then like you can take over the world.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't know. I knew what I wanted with
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Rollot's experience, but I didn't know how to get there.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, I'm just going to
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: do it myself and show everyone what I want to do,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: and that's what I've been doing. But I think what
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I would tell someone is find someone that's like you,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: that is interested in the same things, and if you
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: can't do that, then find people that are passionate about
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: you and that want to support you, and then it'll
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: all fall into place.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, I love that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: We need to take that advice.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, if you can make people that's true, like
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: they fall in love with you, they'll fall in love
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: with anything you do and they will support you. Yeah,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes more than your close people that are close to you,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Exactly, yes, yes, And I think too, like, you know,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: really what I've done the last few years is really
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: just take a deep dive and like what do I
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: want Rolette experience to be? What do I want it
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: to look like? What do I want these women to
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: come in the doors? And what I want them to feel?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: And I want them to feel community, sisterhood and connection
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: like whatever that means to them and whatever scale. And
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: I think like making sure that when you have an
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: idea like branding yourself and getting like your color is
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: getting your logo, and just like being consistent, people rely
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: on consistency. So I think there's a lot that you know,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: there's a lot that comes to it, but I think
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: over time, once you're doing I think people will be like,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: oh I get it. I want to help you.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Know, yeah?
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely?
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Is there anything else you would like us to mention?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: So we have our Boundless Talent Showcase, which is actually
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: our fourth year of doing doing it. So we created
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: it Connor and I and Joe Connor and I on
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the team. We both were competitive dancers before we were injured,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: and so being paralyzed, we're like, why isn't there like
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: a competitive platform for the arts, Like, yes, there's Miss
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Wheelchair California, Miss Wheelchair USA, but there's not like a
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: platform where everyone with disabilitis can come to and like
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: compete for like a title or compete for a trophy.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: And I think for me growing up in that world,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I was like it it really like made me who
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I am of being able to like strive for something
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: that was bigger than you know me. It was a
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: big trophy. So when Connor and I were like, all right,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: let's do it, we started it. It's called Balance Talent
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Showcase and it happens every year and this year was
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: our fourth year, and we have people that come and
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: compete on our stage and it's about we have dance performers,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: we have solos, duos, trios, group numbers, we have singers, monologues.
• 48:58
