  Speaker 2: How is your mental health after losing your mom and
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: going through a divorce.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, my mental health has a lot of ups
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: and downs. I'm overall in a much better place because
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I know my mom is enjoying heaven. But I have
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: my sad moments where I miss her.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's totally normal. And you know what, you and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of good cries.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I'm a weirdo and I think that you know, people say,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you know you should laugh every day.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I think you should also cry every day.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I am learning from you.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Definitely cried a lot more since becoming your closer friend.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: You also are fine hanging out with your boobs out
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in front of me, which I also like.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: What happened with Aaron.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You're a fucking savage. By the way, I will say,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: when she's done with someone, you, guys, she is done.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: There is no talking to an ex unless you have
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: to share a child with them. What happened to us,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It was just I moved in, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: as soon as I moved in, you kind of realize,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: like he was a single guy before dating a bunch
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: of girls, and then you bring me and a daughter
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: into a picture, and it just kind of like, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: don't know, he just woke up and realized it was
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: a lot for him, and I think that was one
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: of the things. There was a combination of things. He
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: was looking for a perfectionist and like the perfect wife,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and I think I didn't hit a lot of those boxes.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: No one ever will. That's a hey issue.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: That's highly and I know that. So I'm actually really
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: happy that we are no longer together.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I am too, because I thoroughly enjoy looking at the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: men that you've been talking to.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You're very good looking. Are you dating anyone?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I am casually dating somebody, but nothing serious. I am
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: focusing on myself and I'm my number one priority right now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: God, I fucking love you. Amen to that. Do you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: want more kids?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I'm open to it, but as of right now, I do.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Not, is Isabella, and I don't mean this to be insensitive.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Is she a lot? Because Sosa for me is a lot.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: She's making me. She's like dealing with me all the time,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: which now I feel badly for people.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm always tired. Also because she has so much energy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: She still wakes up at eight. I'm sorry, she still
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: wakes up at six in the morning every day and
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: she goes on and we do about ten activities outside.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: We go on walks, to the parks, gymnastics, ballet are like.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I'm I can't just keep her at home and chill
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and watch TV. We don't do that, So she is
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: by the time I put her to sleep, I'm exhausted.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And that's why I can't imagine having an.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, so if you found a man who was like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the perfect guy.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: It depends if he was a perfect guy, really wanted
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: an another child, had family, you know, we could get
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: some help. Yes, of course that would consider it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just depends the biggest part. Yeah, I feel
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: bad that I talked about Sosa that way. I adore Sosa.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And I adore Isabella, but I get yeah, it's some
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: kids are harder than other others.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Oshan, I would put her in the bed and she
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: could just chill there. Sosa is all over the place,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and she's particular and temperamental and high strung. She is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: everything that I am. Yeah, so yeah, it's a lot.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: How are you navigating being being a single parent?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I think I do a really good job. The days
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I have Isabella, I just put all my focus and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: energy onto her, and then the days I don't have her,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I focus on work. Those are the nights I go
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: out with my friends. So I really try to like
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: divide time when I'm alone and when I have her.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel like you've conquered it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I think so.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, You're like a well oiled machine at this point.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Michelle and Laala describe your friendship?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: You go first, How do I describe our friendship?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: She's like a fucking nightmare.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: My favorite thing about Laala is like how comfortable I
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: feel sleeping next to you. I really do. It's just
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: so cozy our pj's. I watch you do your whole
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: night routine. It's very interesting. We like the same temperature
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and I sleep amazing next to you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are like a match made in heaven. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: feel I love being I just I feel comfortable around you.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like I don't have to censor myself.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like I can be just who I am
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: at all times, and I feel zero judgment from you.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And I also feel like you're not.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Going to take that and go talk behind my back,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: because you would just bring it to my face anyway. Yeah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and I also think we're epic roommates because we have
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the same pooping schedule.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: She won't she's.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Not gonna talk about it. I'll talk about it. We
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: like our coffee at the same time.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a lot of same a lot of similarities. Yes,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And I do think you bring out like this silliness
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: in me, Like I laugh a lot with you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Oh that makes me really happy. I laugh a lot
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: with you too.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Tips or advice on how to help your child adjust
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to a two parent household more easily.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: That's a hard one to adjust. I mean we we
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: were always very strict with you know, bedtime, schedule, bad time,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: So we just make sure that even if she's at
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: his house, like the routine never really changes.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: So the consistency at both households absolutely. You know, there's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: one thing because like now knowing Jesse a little bit better,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he's like someone who I can't stand, but also have
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: so much love for at the same time, am I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: allowed to say that? Like, I feel like we can
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: go toes and then totally be fine five minutes later.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And I know that that probably seems like unhealthy to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: some people, but I'm like, I actually thrive in friendships
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: like that. Yeah. But I do like the fact that
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: when it comes to your daughter that you guys are
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: both honest with each other. Yeah, which is something I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: don't have. So my co parenting situation is so much
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: different and watching you guys, I'm like, I know it
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: gets tough, but I do admire you both for always.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Putting her first.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we always do.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: My last question for you is there anything you've learned
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: about yourself from being on TV?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: What have I learned about myself on TV? That's a
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: hard question. I've learned to well, I've learned to be
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I'm very private. I've learned to like open myself up
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and be vulnerable, and I don't know, it's just like
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a work in progress.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I will co sign on that. I feel
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: like just watching you and again, I'm really excited for
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: people to see you in season three because I do
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: feel that the cameras were like non existent to you,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and you were very open about everything you were feeling.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And you and I, in my eyes, got very very
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: close like we did.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I consider you like one of my dearest friends.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I've learned it's okay to be happy and
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: sad and like show emotion and tears and stuff like
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that when you feel it instead of just like holding
• 7:22
