• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Garland. Giada
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: De Laurentiis' whirlwind experience on Dancing with the Stars taught
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: her far more than the tango. The way she handles
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: pressure and disappointment is A plus. And boy, can I relate.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Giada is my hero. Here's more of our conversation. Tell
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: me about how your daughter, Jade, kind of influenced you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: or sort of encouraged you to do this? Because I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: know how special you're, I can feel how special your
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: bond is with your daughter.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I think that, you know, her going away to college
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and me becoming an empty nester really struck a chord
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: with me. I didn't think it would because I have
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a career and it's, you know, I feel like, oh,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I have things to distract me. But I realized that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: You know, I spent 18 years making her my priority
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: or at least, oh, if I wasn't going to be there,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: thinking one step ahead and planning her life, making sure
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that everything was taken care of. Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's not like when we go to work, we stop momming.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It's more momming almost.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly. Because we feel bad we're not there. So yes.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And so I started to feel a loss like mid
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: last year. I was like, oh man, I'm going to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: go by her room and I'm not going to see
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: her there. And I'm not going to get like, our
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: evening downloads on what's been happening or any of the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: stuff that we do, our family dinners, it's all going
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to be different. And I'm going to miss that. And
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I started to kind of like ponder that and think
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: about that and talk to my friends who had already
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: become empty nesters. And then when this opportunity came up,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Jade was like, I've always wanted to learn to dance.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be fun for you to learn. I'll
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: be in college and we'll both go on a scary adventure.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And we'll kind of go through it together at the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: same time, yet coasts apart because she's in New York.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: But go through it together. And I think that that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: was like something that I thought, yeah, this is a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: perfect time for me.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: To do this.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just kicking the can down the road a little bit.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But it could be really fun for us. And it was.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: What a leap, though. She checked in on me every day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We were texting. I was sending her the videos that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: we would shoot. and she would tell me, oh, mom,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: your posture, you got to fix this. Okay. Don't make
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that face. You look like you're terrified.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I am terrified.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: She's like, well, nobody wants to see that. But we
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: had these really fun in-depth conversations. And I think the
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: night I got eliminated, she called me and she was like, mom,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: are you feeling okay? Are you okay? I'm like, I
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: think so. Like, I don't know. I think that I'm so, like,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: there's so much emotion going on and it's so raw
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that I don't know yet. I have to process and see.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: But I think for me, it may have been the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: first time she saw me do something and not, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: get hurt doing it or not winning. Mm-hmm. Not that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we ever thought I was even going to come close
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to winning. Right. But being so vulnerable.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Something you were innately good at.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And being criticized for it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And I think for her, she said to me, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it makes me feel like I could try something and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: if I don't succeed or I get criticized for it,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it's okay. That it's okay not to win at everything
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that you try.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: So important.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Because I think I have three daughters and they've seen
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: me have this incredible ride, you know, and they didn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: really know about as much as, you know, they're younger, right? No,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: my oldest is 29.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I know. I did not know that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And then I have a 20, oh, she's about to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: be 24 and I have a 20 year old.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Oh wow. So yeah.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But they've always thought, oh, everything looks so easy. Like I,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I, it must be so easy in life
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to succeed.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what they see because they see their mothers
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: doing well. And you try to shelter.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Them from your heartache or your disappointment and all this.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I wasn't the best at that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So they really did grow up with me in that sense.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But I think that's so important that your daughters see
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you having to fight hard for something and work so hard.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And be in pain and fight through it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And keep putting yourself out there.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Because life is really about that. Yeah. It's just that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: our jobs as mothers is to try to shelter our
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: children from the rollercoaster that is. Yeah. And it's a service,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: but it's also a disservice. Right. Because then they get
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: into their 20s and 30s and they're like, But why
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: was it so easy for you? And now it's so
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: hard for me. That's so unfair. So I think it
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: was really, I didn't mean for that to be the case.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But it actually, I think it worked out in a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: beautiful way.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And she sees how you're coming back. She sees how
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you're rebounding from this and how you're learning about yourself
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and being kind to yourself, giving yourself that grace that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: We talked about.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: She sees all that too. And that's going to have
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a huge impact on her as well.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And I think it'll have an impact moving forward to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: as distance go, you know, as time goes by and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you have more time to kind of reflect and watch
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and see. I think that you start to, cause you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like I learned something, a little tidbit that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: new every day that there's one more day between it,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you know? And I, Truly, Jenny, I thought for sure
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I'd be there a little bit longer. Yeah. And then
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: when it was just done, I was like, oh, wow,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that was, I didn't see it coming, which is also
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a bit of a shock.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I think the competition was just off the charts.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. But I also think like it just wasn't,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it wasn't for, it wasn't my time or it wasn't,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you know, that the journey was very impactful and sometimes
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: they're impactful, but short. You know, they don't always have
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to be long. I think, I think that I used
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to think that in order for something to impact you,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you had to be doing it for a long time.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's true anymore. I think something can
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: be impactful, but can also be short, short lived. Yeah. Yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Because look at all that you're starting, you're uncovering about
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: yourself and questions that you're asking yourself to, to learn
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: more about what makes you tick.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And things that I've had to come back and re-see again.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You know, or sometimes when you're told by somebody else,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you know, that you don't know as well, and they're
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: pointing out the same things that maybe other people have
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: pointed out in the past, you're like, oh, now maybe
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I need to think about that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And I need to think about how to do better,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you know, and maybe I have the opportunity to do better.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And maybe you have the time now because you're not
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: rehearsing 24 hours a day.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And as we get older, we have a little
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: bit more time to reflect. That's one of the beauties
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: of aging, right? Well, hopefully.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: For some of us. So many women my age and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: your age, our age, I'm 54, you're 56, I think.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: We're really hitting it hard. Because we don't want to
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: be forgotten. I think that's the kind of the thing
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a little bit is like, I don't know if it's.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: So much that I don't want to be forgotten. I
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: just don't want to stop producing. I don't want to
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: stop providing. You know what I mean? Like I want
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: to have something to leave for my family.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But don't you think you already have an amazing legacy
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you're leaving.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: For your family? I do.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: But I think more for me, it's about finances because
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I see how hard it is for them now. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: anybody out there trying to make it, this is a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: crazy time. And I just, I want to work even
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: harder to sort of pave the road for them a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: little bit more, you know? But I feel like a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: lot of women, I mean, a lot of women are
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: doing it for other reasons, like to not be forgotten or.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or just like why do we have to stop
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: because we're a certain age? Like who says that you
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: have to? Nobody.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it would be nice to slow down a little.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that for me, I think slowing down
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit actually helps my overall health.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Because I don't think where I am in this life
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: right now as in menopause that my body– because I
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: will say that part of the other thing of coming
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: down from the show is my body like saying, Okay,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: we were in an adrenaline rush, but now your hormones
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: are like all over the place because you were taxing
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the body so hard. And I think it's just natural
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: that we get into a certain age, and I'm a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: little bit older than you, where the body just wants
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit more even. Yeah. It's like, go really fast. Stop.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Go really, like, you know, gassing the car, stopping. Gassing
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the car, stopping. It likes a little bit more of a,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you know, steady.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Steady.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Paced life. Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get used to that because I think
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: that's so valuable.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Well, and I think it's valuable to people at different times.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I think for me, as much as I love that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: adrenaline rush, I just do because I feel young and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: you just feel hungry and you're like, yes, let's go
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: for it. I don't know that my body loves it
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: so much. My mind does, but my body doesn't.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: How old do you feel in your mind?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: 30. Yeah. But sometimes I look at my body and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you're not 30, are you?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: That's not matching up with what I'm thinking.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Does it ever match up? I don't know. I'm not sure.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. So will you keep dancing?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yes. oh yes i've already started looking into like some
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: dance stuff yeah i don't know if it'll be ballroom
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: dancing but i'm definitely i think it's really exhilarating hip-hop.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: What's happening i don't know i don't know i mean.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Dancing something fun that isn't gonna it's not gonna be
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: like six hours a day right but um Yeah, I've
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: been looking into it to see where... I hear there's
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: some fun new spots that have all sorts of different
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: types of dance classes. So I don't know. But yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I have looked into it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Let's take a dance class together because I have recently,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: literally in the last few days, started thinking.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I want to do that again.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: It's very freeing. Not so much like when I was
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: trying to learn a dance that I had to perform
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: in live television after four days. But I think that
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: The just expression of dance is very liberating. It feels
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: very liberating.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: It really does.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And your body's moving in these different ways. And I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: don't know. It's just I really enjoyed the movement part
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of it. Yeah. I can relate. So I have looked.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: There's a place in the Valley I've looked. And there's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a place in Hollywood. There's actually one in Santa Monica.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I've started to find different pockets of different types of
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: dance classes.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: What if we showed up at dance class together?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I can't. This is an Instagram series we're going to
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: have to record.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I am going to continue to dance.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I love that. I love that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe not every single day, but I definitely would like
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to continue this dance journey on a more sort of
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: relaxed path.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: We hope you do because I could see how much
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: you loved it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad that you started watching again. I'm glad
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: to hear your PTSD has gone by the wayside.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would never have sat down with you
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: if I hadn't been like, I want, please, I want
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: her here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I want to talk to her. I want to know
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: how that was for her.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So I'm very, very happy that all things led to this.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's wonderful. You know, like I say, all things
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: have a purpose. There's nothing that we do in life
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: that doesn't have any purpose. You may not know right away,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: but eventually it unfolds and you see it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: You see why.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: The why.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Okay.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: So now that you're no longer competing.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Who do you want to win? Who do you want
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: to win?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Who do you think is going to win?
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Is it two different people? Like I want Guillermo to win,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: but I don't think he's going to win.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think Guillermo's going to win. I don't think
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Guillermo's going to win.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: But now, I mean, I honestly don't even know a
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: couple of the people. Like I'm getting to know them
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Well, Jenna Dewan, I feel like. She's so incredible, such
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: an incredible dancer. And with Val as her partner and like,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: but Harry Shum is also, I mean, they were both incredible.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I watched them and I'm like, I'm out
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: of here. Kick me out of here. I will say
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Amber Glenn is also pretty spectacular.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: She's an ice skater, right?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yes. I mean, she, yeah. Flawless. It's clear why she
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: won a gold medal. But Ezra is also really, I mean,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he's the youngest dancer. He's also a two-time gold medalist. Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, he knows how to compete and he is good.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yes. And I will say that the two of them
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: really knew how to get themselves in that space. I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: was always like, can you rub off on me? Jenna
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: and Amber rub off on me a little. But so
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Ezra's pretty spectacular also. So it could go that direction.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And then there's people like Maura who have just really
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: like blossomed in this dance thing that she didn't. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: don't know. Do you know who she is? She's a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: reality star.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, she was really great.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: And I didn't know her before.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: So it's so fun to kind of get to know
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: these people.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Well, that's also the fun thing about doing it. I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: met a lot of influencers I would not, and podcasters
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: like Connor Wood. A lot of people that I would never,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't end up in my world. Let's talk about.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Your world for a second because you have your brand.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Jodsy. Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Jada De Laurentiis is powered by pasta.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: That's just like- How's it feel being, you know, having
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: your own brand and just being a baller?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, I've done so many partnerships over
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the years that I learned a lot. And I was like, oh,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the only way I'm going to be able to control
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the narrative here and tell whatever story I want to
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: tell is if I do it myself. And I think
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that the food system, as we all know in this country,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: is a little bit, sadly, not in a great place.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: And so I'm trying to teach people about pasta and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: about what to look for. And if you want a
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: great option, I'm presenting you one. But if you don't,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: at least take a few tips and tricks and read
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the label and try to buy products that are healthy
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and that don't have a lot of junk in them
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: because a lot of stuff has a lot of filler,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of, sadly, things that don't make us feel good.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And it's not the pasta's fault that you don't feel good.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: It's the product that you're eating. Don't blame the pasta.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: It's not the pasta. It's what you're buying. Yeah. You know? So, yeah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And then Italian grains are really important. They really are,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: especially now.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I hope everyone is going to check it out.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: How do we visit the website?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: You can get it. You can get it on jodsy.com.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: You can get it on Amazon. Sprouts now carries our pasta.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Gelson's in Southern California. So, and there's a lot of...
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: A lot of new ones. Thrive Market. There's a lot. Perfect.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: So people can find it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to check it out because I'm interested in
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: clean eating.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We have a whole list of where it's carried
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on jodsy.com. There's a whole grocery list around the country.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So you can kind of see where you get it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: But otherwise, Amazon.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And also people can always visit your beautiful restaurants in Vegas.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yes. You have two in Vegas? I have two in Vegas,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: two in Scottsdale, and I have two in Chicago. Okay.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Busy lady.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Holding it all up. It's fun.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And dancing her ass off. I'm so proud of you.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if that means anything.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I hope I know. I know you're proud of yourself.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: No, I am. I am. I think that we just have,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you know, a few voices in our head. Right. And
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: they kind of, you know, they come and go. And
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's important to listen to all of them,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: but manage the ones that are negative because those can
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: really take you down sometimes.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for all that you've shared with us
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: about just your personal growth through this experience. I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that that's more interesting and intriguing and helpful.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Than watching you dance.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that there's more behind the dance than
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: people think, you know, for everybody that's participating. I don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: think it's just me. I think all of these celebrities
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that are doing it, there's a lot that goes on
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: that nobody sees internally, you know? So, and I think
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: it'll be fun to listen to all their stories as
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: they go through it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for sharing your story with us. But
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: before I let you go, Giada De Laurentiis, what was
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: your last I choose me moment? Well, I think it
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: was Dancing with the Stars, wasn't it?
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that there's a bigger one
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: for me at this moment. I don't either. You did it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I did it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: And you're still choosing yourself even after you got eliminated.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Right now, I'm still choosing myself. Yep. I'm hoping that
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: a month from now, Jenny, I still choose myself, but
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'm working on it. Keep it up. I'm working on it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Go stand in the grass.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: This is all... I'm going to try and stand in
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the grass, just like you suggested. Okay. I haven't done that,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and I think that might be an important part of this. Yeah.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And thanks for bringing so much fun to me when
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I was young on 90210. Love that show.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
