  Speaker 1: From the heart of the city, where the beat meets

  Speaker 3: And check me out at Bella Underscore Lalla one two five.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It has been a crazy week with this weather that
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: we're having. Last night it was thundering so hard the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: house shook.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like a quick thunderstorm, which I like
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: thunderstorm sometimes it's something like romantic about it or like comforting,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I should say, But when they last really long and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: lose power. No, but yeah, that thunder was crazy last night.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It was so loud. I jumped and then the house
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: literally started shaking. And then I was looking on Facebook
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and my friend posted she was at Walmart in Matamoras
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: or Milford, PA. And they wouldn't let the people leave
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: or go into the store because there was a tornado.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. So they locked everyone in and then
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: kept everyone from coming in. Yeah, that's see that. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: would I think it'd be safe if you let people
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: run in because if they're in their cars, bye bye.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You know exactly, That's what I was saying.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'd been banging on that door, like no, let me
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: inside this concrete building.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And then somebody wrote I was reading the comments, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, you would think that you'd be safer in
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the building rather than in your car or standing outside.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But somebody had wrote that their roofs are metal, Oh really,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and that it's not safe.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that. We're gonna have to look at
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: like some Google images of Walmart's in Tornado Valley, because
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: there's a crap ton OFT's, you know, in the Midwest
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and all that, and that's where they get hit a lot.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: And in Florida. I've never seen a Walmart roof ripped off.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: But maybe I don't know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm that's just it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Is metal, because now that I'm thinking, when I look up,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: it is like just a metal roof.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So hu I never looked up. I never thought about it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I only did one time because it was another storm downpour.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: And you can you know, you ever you're ever in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: a store and you just hear the rain just pounding
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: on the roof.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like when you're in the mall.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Walmart is always really loud, and now it
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: makes sense because it's a metal roof, because you're like
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you're shopping and all of a sudden you here and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I look up and you know, they have sometimes had
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the skylights and i'd see the rain. So that's why
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I know. Yeah, it is metal, but that's crazy. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: didn't know that. I guess I'm not running into a
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Walmart during a tornado.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: No, And I don't even go to Walmart.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I like Walmart.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about it. I used to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: love Walmart and then I don't know.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: They're better now because yeah, they were good, and then
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: they got like really trashy, really just unorganized, just you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: like crappy.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: They're just empty, like especially our local one in Middletown,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it's never stocked. Ever.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're getting better. They are. Have you been, if
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you've been in it lately, someone must have taken over,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: some younger generation I think, came in and was like,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: we need to revamp all these Walmarts. Now there are more.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: They're not as good as Target yet, they're getting there,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: but they have furniture set up like oh with the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: place settings, the clothing is so much better. Oh my god,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the clothing is great. Yes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: When I went with you to get the Justice Simpson outfits,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I have to say I was very umbrassed.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The clothing, I'm like, it's really good. And the styles,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know, it used to be crappy, Like my mom
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: used to buy me Walmart clothes for school and I
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: get made fun of. Now this, it's really I like
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Walmart's clothing better than Target's clothing now, and I used
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to love Targets clothing. So yeah, they're stepping up their game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: So maybe seanna give it another chance. Go in shop around.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'll have to go.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I'll go in the daytime, Yeah, don't go in the nighttime.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: And nighttime is a little sketchy, yes, a little scary.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: But although I did see on TikTok speaking of Target,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: there is a lot of sex traffickers going to Targets.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Really. Yes, I'm wondering if it's because it's a lot
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of kids in there usually or.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, So just be careful.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, you know me, I always run into
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: someone weirdo, like that's just my luck song. I'll probably
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: run into a sex trafficker. Next time, I always get
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the Mother of God. Women. Yeah, they always get me,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: always get me, and I know it. As soon as
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: they oh, weird little door is cute, or I like
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: your dress, I'm like, my head goes to the side. Okay,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Mother of God. Okay, no, not interested. And for those
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: listening who don't know what the hell I'm talking about,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: we have a I don't know if this religion is elsewhere,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: but we have this big religious type cult in our
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: area that they are made up of a lot of
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: women and they believe that God is a woman, which
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: is fine, everyone could believe what they want. But they
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: call themselves the Mother of God or whatever, and they
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: go around, you know, Jehovah's come to your door and knock.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: These people are told to go into stores, to go
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: into moles, go into and you know, parks, and then
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: they come up to you and it's usually women, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: they try to get you to come to their meetings
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: and they scared, like no pamphlets, they just when the
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: first time, you know me, I'm too nice. The first
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: time it happened to me, I didn't know what the
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: hell was going on, and they got me in Target
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and they gave me their phone number and they gave
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: me the address. That's all they give you in your phone.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: They'll they tell you to put in this is our
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: number and this is the location, and meet us here
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Friday at this time. So it was scary, yeah, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I was scared. And then more and more women were
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: complaining about this going on, like and they everyone was
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: saying they're sex traffickers or sex traffickers. So I started
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to believe that till I looked up the address and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: it was like this, it's not not, in my eyes,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: a church, but it was their their church and they
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: have these weekly meetings and they just send women out
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: because women, I guess are more approachable and you feel
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: safer with them. But it is, it's annoying, it's sketchy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: It you know, you don't know, you don't know.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You don't know if there's somebody in the parking lot
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: waiting for you.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they usually have a man outside. And that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: what people have why they think they're sex traffickers. But
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they are. But yes, they're always
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: in Target. They always get me in Target and sometimes
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the grocery store, and I'm like, nope, mother God. Nope, nope,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm good.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just scary these days.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: And it's scary and it's annoying, like we should be
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: at the age where we're just leaving people alone. You
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: want have your religion, that's fine. If people find your
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: religion through friends or whatever, that's fine. Don't come to
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: our doors. Don't be stalking us in stores like I
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: feel like the should be that should be in the past,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Like enough, already enough enough, as long as they're not
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: sex trafficking me. And I could just tell them, hey,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: go go away, leave me alone. I'm not interested.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So you leave for your cruise this weekend, right.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, in Saturday, I'm leaving. So I'm excited, but not excited.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I know that sounds horrible, and I was kind of
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: venting to you about it, but it seems to be. See,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I was a party people who were Disney too. I'm
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: not one of those Disney adults. I didn't understand why
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: people were so obsessed as adults to go there.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't get it either. I know many
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: adults that I know, some people that don't have children
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I know, and they go two three times a year
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: It's very odd to me, but I'm not gonna judge.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Just to me personally, it's odd. I went, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I went last year and it was okay. It was expensive.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: It was not worth the money. I thought everything was overpriced. Oh, extremely,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: everything was waiting on lines, crowds. That's not a vacation
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to me. But anyway, so I was a party paper
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: with that, and now I'm gonna be a party pooper
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: about my feelings towards cruises. I've never been on a
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: cruise besides when I was young, so I'm trying not
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: to judge by that. I was probably about six or seven,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: seven years old, i'd say, and we went on the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: big red boat, which was the Disney cruise, and we
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: hit a hurricane. So as you can imagine, that was horrendous.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Everyone was throwing up. I was throwing up. They would
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: throw up everywhere, like the walls had throw up, the
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: elevators had throw up. Oh, because everyone was seasick from
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the boat from the hurricane, you know. And I swore
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: from that age, I'm like, I am never going on another.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: We should have canceled, it is what they should have done.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: They told us that they could get us around the hurricane.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: We're gonna go around it. Nope, we didn't go We
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: maybe went around maybe the worst part of it, but
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: we were still in it, you know. So anyway, I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: my family is taking us on a cruise for my
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: dad's seventieth birthday, and my stepmom is taking us, so
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: you know, I have no choice pretty much, and I'm
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: not going to be like, Nope, not going on a
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: trip that you're paying for, and I'm gonna give it
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: another shot. But oh my god, I feel so guilty
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: feeling like this. I'm anxious. I am like, I don't
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: even know what to expect. I'm not looking forward to
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: it other than being my family, you know, I'm like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: oh my god, it's a fully booked cruise. There's thousands
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: of people. That means, you know me, I don't like
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of people on my vacations. I want to
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: relax away from people. Uh yeah. So, but people like
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you said, like with Disney, there's a lot of those
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: obsessed cruise people, like they swear by cruises and they
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: go on cruises multiple times a year every year.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Well, the people that I know that go on cruises,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: they like it because they said which you told me,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: is not the case that everything is included. Who drinks.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: You could eat as much as you want, You could
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: drink as much as you want. You know, you can
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: go off to different islands and explore, and you know
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: there's always something to do in nightclubs and you're never bored.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know. I've never been on
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: a cruise. I have no desire to go on a cruise.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It has always been my fear since I've seen the Titanic,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: that the ship is going to crash, crash, and we're
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: all going.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: To die ice bog straight ahead. This time, they hopefully
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: would have enough lifeboats for everybody. So yeah, all right,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I can only speak on going on the Royal Caribbean.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if other cruise ships are all
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: inclusive meaning everything, but the Royal Caribbean is not. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: so you pay this large fee for a room and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: includes the buffet. It includes the main dining room, which
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: has the same menu every day, it looks like, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: that's it. There's other restaurants on the boat that are nicer,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: like a steakhouse, an Italian restaurant Johnny rockets.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I think, but those aren't included.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: They're not included. No, you have to pay like thirty
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: to forty five dollars per person, and then drinks are
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: not included, not even soda, Like I couldn't. I would.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I understand if alcohol wasn't included, but they're not even
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: including soda or you know, it's just water basically in milk.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I think that's included. So I'm like, the.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Water probably isn't even bottled water. Yeah, it's probably water
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: from the ocean.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: That's what I've read. It's from the ocean, and they desalient,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: desalinate it like they take the salt out. So I
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: just I don't understand why people would like this. If
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I go to an old inclusive resort in another country
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: or another island, everything's included. All inclusive means everything's included, drinks, soda, water, everything,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: and I don't have to stress. So I'm not paying
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: for this cruise. But we paid for our drink package.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: So for me to get my soda and iced tea
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and my Virgin Pinuclata because I don't drink alcohol, that
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: was like one hundred and something dollars. My husband got
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the alcohol package and that was like over two hundred
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: dollars and we had it on a discount. The regular
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: price would be astronomical, Like we got forty percent off.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: So then you have Julia Night and Geo's drink package.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the kids and that's their drinks aren't included.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And then on top of that, now I'm like, all right,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: we just paid this, we both the packages. That was
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of money. I'm thinking that's it. Nope. Now
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I find out that at the end of the trip,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be hit with a twenty one dollar per
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: day per person fee for gratuity for the ship. So
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: you add that up. We're on a five day trip.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You add that up between four of us, and they
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: don't care that the baby's only three. She gets charged
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: that fee too. That's four hundred and twenty dollars at
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: the end of the strip.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Now hotels do that too, though I've not ever.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Thin some hotels have resort fees. Yes, is not what
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: it No, this is not this is a gratuity. Some
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: hotels have resort fees for like parking and all that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: But it says it right up front in your payment
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: there's a resort fee, and you could pay it at
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: the end degree. But like with this cruise, Like I
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: don't know, it wasn't in the price right there, you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Like when we go to resorts, it says resort fee
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: right there in the payment under the tax, and that's
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: added into your total. You know. I don't like these
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: surprise things. I don't like these things added on the end.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And I know it's not just me, because I'm in
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: a Facebook group for Royal Caribbean and so many people
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: every day are like, I just got to the end
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: of my trip and I just got charged six hundred
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: dollars in gratuity. What the hell is this? So there's
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: so many people who don't know or don't see it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: So it must be small print somewhere, you know what
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Oh of course.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: So I don't like that about the cruises, that nothing
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: not everything's included. And I don't like being timed anywhere.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: If I go on vacation, I will I'm going to
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: be to expel another culture or another island or a beach,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to be timed. Like if I
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: want to go to the beach at six am and
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I want to stay there till midnight, that's what I
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: want to do. But with cruises, Like, I don't know
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: how people like to go to a beach and be
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: on a timeland. Okay, shoot, we got to make sure
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: we do this, this, and this and get back to the
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: dock by this time or else the boat's leaving without us,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: and then you're really screwed, you know. And that's what
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I never It never appealed to me. The only thing
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: that appeals to me about a cruise is the entertainment,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: because I love entertainment. So there's a ton of that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Everyone's telling me. Dance nightclubs, shows, this, this and that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: That appeals to me. And being able to check out
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: other islands to see where we want to go on
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the next vacation, Like so we're going to Bermuda next week.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: We've never been there, and we never were. We always
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: wanted to go, but we weren't sure if it would
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: be a good place to go to. So the good
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: thing about a cruise is, yeah, you go in, you
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: take a sneak peak of it, and then you know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: you get back on the boat and maybe hit other
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: islands and take a sneak peak at them. That's a
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: good thing, but not to do every vacation, like I
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: don't get that of it. So anyway, yeah, we'll see
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: if I change my tune after this trip, if I
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: like cruises or if I hate them. Hopefully I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: get sea sick because I have an issue with that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I brought a lot of dramamine, a lot of anti
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: nausea for me, for the kids. Let's just let's hope
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it's good.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Julina gets sick in the car car, so she's.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: She's gonna be with me. We're gonna probably probably have
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of nausea on this trip. So I bought everything.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: The bands for the wrist, there's patches behind the ear,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: peppermint oil, the sniff the anti nausea liquid. You got, Julina,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I got myself stuff. So I'm all hooked up and
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: hopefully it helps.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Well. I have zofran if you need.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I'll probably take that too. Well, you know this is
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: what I mean. I have so much anxiety about this.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I traveled a lot of places all over the world,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and I've never really cared. I've never been this stressed out,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: but I'm so stressed out about this cruise. I can't
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: even tell you. It's like, what is going? Why I learned? Why? Why?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Because and the funny part about it is you don't
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: have to travel really anywhere because you're just driving an
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: hour and a half de side to the port.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an hour and a half. The port is
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: an hour and a half from our house. And then
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: we just get on the boat, which is nice that
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I could see how that would appeal to people too.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: You don't have to take a flight. Yeah, just get
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: on a boat. That's great, I get it. But the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: other stuff about, you know, having to pay for drinks
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and the good food, Like we're getting the shit food
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for free. When I go to an all inclusive resort,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: you can go to a buffet, but you can also
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: go to all the amazing restaurants at the resort and
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: it's included in your costs, you know. So I just
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe these people have never been to
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: a resort and that's why they think the cruise is
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the best thing in the world. But again, maybe I
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: change my tune next week when I come back and
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, Shauna, I'm never doing anything
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: other than cruising around the world. I doubt it, but
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: You never know. I just know that it is not
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: No, no, and yeah, well, well, well I will update
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: you guys. Maybe I'll do a little vlog while I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: on the cruise to show you my anxiety and uh,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: when I'm in a crowd, maybe like, oh my god,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: look at the line of people in the trying to
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: get in the elevator. Look how shitty this buffet food looks.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Look at the vomit coming out of that girl. No,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I won't do that, but well, I'll keep you guys updated.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be studying by the pool if you can
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: even get a pool chair, I know, and you're just
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be like stuck there the whole time.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna try and do like there's a lot of karaoke,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of shows, there's dance classes, so that
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I think that is the good part about the cruise.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna try and do those things during the
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: day besides going in the pool. And you know, the
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: kids are probably gonna have The kids will have a blast.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I think, as long as they're not seasick, they'll have
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: a blast. And hopefully no one catches the neumal virus
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: or no one catches some crazy disease while on this cruise. Ship,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: because that's my other fear during COVID. Do you remember
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: happened to that cruise ship. No, they got stuck on
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: it for months to the people because COVID hit and
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: like they didn't want to spread or whatever. I forget,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: but they were on that trip the ship for months
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: and it was like horrible, like they quarantined the ship
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: to be locked down, you know what I mean.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: A few years ago, my friend went on a cruise,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: probably Royal Caribbean, and she it was like a seven
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: day cruise or something, and in the middle of the cruise,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: they hit a storm but they missed it, but they
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: couldn't get off the boat for whatever reason. Yeah, so
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: they had to stay on the boat like an extra
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, a few days and they got charged.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So like her vacation, you know, it was like seven
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: days or whatever, so she missed work and they charged
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: extra few days. Yeah, but they charged like I don't know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: twenty five or fifty dollars. Oh okay, okay, but still
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you couldn't get off the cruise. She's like no,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: but she's like, you know, they kept us entertained, you know.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, life is not too bad. But that's there,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: that's there on them that I should have to pay
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: for that exactly.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: See, that is what would scare me. And being in
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the middle of the ocean and not by land.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm wondering how I'm gonna feel about that. My
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: sister said, it's kind of eerie that you wake up
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: and we have a balcony that you go to the
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: balcony and there's just nothing for miles around, like when
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: you're looking out, and yeah, that's that is kind of creepy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It's scary and yeah, and yeah, I'm gonna try not
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: to think negative because I'm gonna start like, where's the lifeboat?
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: What if this sayings the sharks are gonna get us?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Like I would be wearing my life jacket the whole time.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I saws a mom asking that the group I'm in
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: for the cruises if anyone could suggest a portable life
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: jacket that she can keep in her like purse for
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: her whole family, like a few of them, and that
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: they could just pop on. I I didn't read the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: comments to see if there was such a thing, but
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm sure there's probably something like in the airplanes
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: that go into your seat you know, but I don't
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: think it would fit in a purse. But shant to
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: be like one round her head, her neck. She had
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: swimmy's on her arms, swimmy's on her ankle.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Walking down the hallway, you're going swimming.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Nope, nope, just in case, just in case, and go
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: down the Shanta be drifting off. Everyone's stuck you home
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: by the cruise. And then they're saying sea's drifting off
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: in the waves.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: There she goes, cruises are not for me.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Oh man, I'll make sure we don't book that for
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: your your fortieth nice fortieth birthday cruise. I'm gonna tell
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: your mom Shaana would love that take her on a
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: cruise or her fortieth birthday. I'll get you some inflatables
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: as a prank.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: If and that will be the time that she actually schedules,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: then you won't be.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Like, good, good idea, I don't have to go to
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: the airport. Okay, let's oh happy birthday, Oh Jesus. And
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: we were just talking about how Julina gets carsick.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: So poor kid can't go anywhere.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I know her so her I've tried two car seats
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: with her and Seana can attest to this it was
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: hours or hour. It could be hours or thirty minutes
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: worth of her screaming the whole time. The seed hurts,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the seed hurts, the seed hurts. Then she'd get car sick.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Then she'd throw up, and it was like I tried
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: a different car seat, nothing, it would still be like
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: her screaming, the seed hurts, the seed hurts, and I'm
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: getting car sick. So I've had like this dream car
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: seat on my wish list, you know, my dream car seat.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: It was the Great Go Easy Turn three sixty. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I think many moms probably have this on their wishlist
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: because it's so cool. It's so unique. The car seat
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: actually can spin three hundred and sixty degrees around forever.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: You know. However, you need to get the baby in
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: or out. And I love it because in a small car,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: this is amazing. When I used to have my little
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Honda Civic, I'd always hit my head. I'd have to
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: reach in and climb, you know, kind of squeeze my
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: body to get the baby in. So this is the
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: perfect car seat for a smaller car. But I have
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: it in my pickup truck now and it's still perfect.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Before I get her in, I just turn the seat
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and she can climb right in it, and then we
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: spin her right back around and knock on wood. It's
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: been a week and she has not gotten carsick. She
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: has not complained that the car hurts her, the seat
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: hurts her. So I think it's a winner. I love it,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and I hope it is a winner for her because
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I don't ever want to go back to the traditional
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: car seats after this. And I love it that it
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: will grow with her until she's sixty five pounds and
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: she's tiny. She's like twenty twenty seven, twenty eight pounds
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: right now, so we have a lot of years with
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: this car seat.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Is it one that can't grow with you?
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's to grow with you. So it'll go from
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: the baby seat to a booster seat for her. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: it has like four reclined positions, which I love, so
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: when they're little, they could sleep in it, you know.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: And it's just solid and it has the snuglock. Oh
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: my god. I can't say enough about snuglocknuglock. So you've
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: never put in a car seat, but if you have
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: put in a car seat, it is one of my like,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I hate it. I'd rather do anything than putting in
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: a car seat or taking out a car seat, but
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: putting it in is even worse because the stupid anchors.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: You gotta get the anchors in. You got to tighten them,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: and they never tighten. It's so hard to tighten them.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. My brother in law can kind
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: of do it, like he's pretty good at it. He's
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: a cop, so he was trained. But so I always
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: have to drive to his house. But like, can you
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: tighten this car seat? You know, and he'd put his
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: knee in it, and he has a push and pull
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: and push and pull. It's not an easy process and
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I can never get it tight. So with snugglock, oh
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: you just.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Buckle it in.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: No, you put these anchors in and if there you
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: gotta like pull on the I don't even know what's
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: called it, the belt to make the seat like tight
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: against the seat. You know. In the old days, we
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: use the car strap like the seat belt that would
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: go through it. They don't use it anymore. Like I
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: guess this is safer. You still can if you don't
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: have the anchor things on the bottom, but most car
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: now have these anchors like the end that you can
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: put the anchors onto them, so you just can't tighten them.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: No matter what you do, is never tighten off. So
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: with the snuglock, you put the anchors in, you kind
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: of tighten it not too much, and this snuglock puts
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the belt underneath it and then you clip it shut
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and then it tightens it and holds it in place
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and it cannot move. It was So it's probably the
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: safest my daughter has been in a car seat since
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: she was an infant, because I never had snuglock before.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: That was the number one on my list too, was
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: for finding a Greeco car seat with the snuglock. So
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I'm very happy with that. And in the video I
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: posted a video and you'll see, like if you watch it,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: you'll see the snuglock. I close it onto the belt
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: and it just tightens it immediately, So it's so easy.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. So again this is easy for mom
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: and dad getting a kid in and out of the car.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: It's gonna grow with them, and it's safe and you
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: you could feel how safe it is by using the
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: snug lock, and it's not going to be a pain
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: in the butt, which car seats ninety nine percent of
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: the time are is.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: It easy to turn, Like, would I be able to
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: turn it and get Julia out?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one handed, one handed. I in the video you
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: see that I do it one handed, and because I
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: had the phone on my other hand, I was filming
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, how am I going to do this? Nope.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: It is so smooth and then it locks right in place,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: so with one hand you could just pull it and
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: it spins around and then it locks in place so
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: you don't worry about it moving while you're driving. But
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: absolutely love it. Highly recommend it for new moms or
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: mom's old moms like, I'm this is my second child,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: she's three years old, and I needed it because I
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: was just so sick and tired of the other car
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: seats and they weren't comfortable. And now these new car
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: seats you can throw them the whole thing in the wash,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: besides obviously the base, but you just pull off the
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: whole thing one two three, they cot, the cushions come off,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: goes right in the wash. So if she does get carsick,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: knock on wood, hopefully she won't. If she does get
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: carsick into the wash, it and it's easy to put
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: back on. Another pro are you taking it?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: With you on the cruise.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: No, I don't need it for the cruise, but I
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: mean driving there. Yes, when I get to Bermuda, We're
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: probably not going to go anywhere far. We'll prob I
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: just walk because I'm not I'm not lugging a car
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: seat like, I'm just not doing that. But if yeah,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: when I go to Florida in July, taking it on
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the on the plane and bringing it, you know, so
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: we could put it in our rental car.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: And if she does throw up, you could always use
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: our handy dandy Force of Nature.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yes, yes, and you know, you know me,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I like things that are not full of chemicals and toxins. Yeah,
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: so Force in Nature is perfect for that. Perfect that
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: that's another mom must have.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: We featured them a few times, a few times.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I love it. I use it in my kitchen. My
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: sister has one, my friends have them. It's it's a
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: great way to kind of get away from the traditional
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: house cleaners that are just full of chemicals and toxic toxins,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: hormone disruptors, endocrine disruptors. That's all in the basic cleaners nowadays,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: and it's so so bad for you, especially the fragrances.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And I always say, it's kind of sad we grew
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: up that way. We grew up having to smell a bleach.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: We grew up having the fabuloso or the fantastic and
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: thinking or the lysole cleaners like oh that smell meant
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: a clean house and the snuggle snuggle, Yeah, all that stuff,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Like we it was kind of ingrained in us. If
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: you smell the stuff, that means the house is clean. Meanwhile,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: those smells are so toxic and yeah, your house might
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: be clean, but it's full of like cancer, cancer, basically
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: cancer and disruptors, and it's not good for you. So
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Force in nature just uses your regular tap water and
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: these like I'm gonna call them saline packets or you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: it's not just salt, but it's a just natural compounds
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: and it's ionized. You put it in the bottle and
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: it sits on this little thing and it kind of
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: ionizes the water and it charges so almost like a
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: saltwater filter for a pool, where when it kind of
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: electrocutes it, it turns it into a natural chlorine or
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: you know, which is a disinfectant. So it's not really bleach,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: but it is it's a natural disinfectant. So I am
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: big about disinfecting, and that was the other thing. Once
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I was going natural, it was hard to find cleaners
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: that actually killed germs too, not just cleaned up the dirt.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I wanted germs gone, so force the nature is perfect
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: for that. So it's natural, no fragrance, it's toxic, toxin free,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: and it kills germs and bacteria. And you can remake
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: it from your kitchen sink, just at the Bible. Little
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: packets and your kitchen tapwater can create this amazing powerful cleaner.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: This week, we caught up with Melissa van Riper from
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Clear Light. We featured them last week on the show.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: It is the Red Light Personal Red Light Therapy Tower,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and we're obsessed with it, absolutely in love with it
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: and can't get enough of it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Actually every night, twenty minutes every single night.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And so we caught up with her and she's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: gonna give a little bit of insight into the company
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and how the red Light actually works and can benefit you.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Shauna and La La. We are here
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: with Melissa Van Riper from Clear Light, Saunas and Red
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Light Therapy. As you know, last week we spoke about
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: us having the red light, and I love it. You
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: love it every night.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I use it every single night. I have it on
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: my nightstand, so it's like my non negotiable at night,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I get ready in bed, I lay there, I put
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: it on for like twenty five minutes, twenty minutes, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I just zen out. And I have noticed it took
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: a few days that I started to like, I'm sleeping better.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I'm really truly sleeping better. I feel relaxed.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Everyone's always a little bit hesitant with things like is
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: this really working? You know, but I truly will hardly
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: believe it. It has been.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I used it. I've been having a lot of like
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: major stomach issues, and it just helped me like relax
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and clear my mind.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I think that with you. Shanna has a lot of inflammation,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be beneficial to her
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: the longer that she uses it in her body. You know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: she has CP, she has a lot of GI issues.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: What else, right?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I know I have terrible migraines, terrible pain, you know,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and I've been struggling with it forever. But I think
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: it's really going to help me.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, consistency is the key with any I mean, I'm
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: sure you know anything that you try. People always ask me, oh,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: what do you do for bibermlager? I'm like about a
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: thousand things, Like not one thing is going to help
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: or doesn't help me. I wish. I wish it was
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: one thing.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because it's like that's what I said, that
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: if she starts every single night using it, I think
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: that she's going to see a difference. Like I've seen
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: my sleep. You know, I don't have as many health
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: issues as her, but it could be helping me in
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: my brain fog and like who knows that I've been
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: so overwhelmed and you know I need a magic pill
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So what is your role at clear Light.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: I am the consumer product manager at ClearLight, so that
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: means a lot of things. I work on the R
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: and D of new products and development, and I also
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: work on the existing products and making them and improving
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: them as technology improves. Obviously, I work very closely with
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: both of our owners, Rally and Andy.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Really amazing. I've done product development for a really long time,
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: over twenty years, and this is the only company where
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: they are continuously trying to add cost to their products.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: They're like, oh, we're not costing, we don't cost down,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: we cost up. So they're just constantly trying to make
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: a better product that you know, like we're working on
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: our sauna app now where that technology didn't exist, you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: twenty almost thirty actually almost thirty years ago when they started.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: So they're just constantly improving their products, which I think
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: is really commendable, and they care about the people who
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: buy their product. They offer a lifetime, your lifetime warranty
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: on the saunas, which is really amazing.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't see that with many products.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: No, No, and ys see companies cutting down cost.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: Yes, always in my career. So yeah, but red light,
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: I've you know, as a chronically ill person, you hear
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: these things, right, Oh, red light it's good for you.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: This is good for you, and you know exactly know why.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: But you're like, okay, I should look into that, right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: But with red light, it's not just that, you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: I think one of the famous parts of red light
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: is that it'll help with you know, skin rejuvenation. Everybody
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: sees those very robotic led masks out there. Skin rejuvenation
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: is like quite frankly the surface level of the healing
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: that it does. It goes, it goes. You know. Yeah,
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm trying not to make like a weird
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: skin pun, but yeah, it goes. It's it's it's to
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: the cellular level. Honestly. Personally, I use the Personal. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: have all of our units, but I have the Personal
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: right next to my desk, and I use it all
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: of the time. So I use it. I had some
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: like surgeries, I use it on like scars and wound healing.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: I use it on every ache and pain that I have.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: So if I have an ear infection, I put it
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: on my ear. If I have I have a sits
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: behind my knee, I stick it behind there. If I'm
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: sore after physical therapy, I just kind of prop it up.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: And the size of it makes it so that you
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: can do that. You know, with our larger towers, those
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: are great for like overall, you know, kind of a
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: one stop shop. You know, you're sitting in the sun
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: en you use our core tower. That's great because you
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: don't have to like, you know, maneuver it around. You're
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: kind of covering your whole body. But this one is
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: really portable and you're able to like specifically target and
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: position it where you need relief the most. And if
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: it's you know, muscle recovery, you can focus on that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: If you're putting it next to your bed for sleep,
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: it actually is also great in the morning to help
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: wake you up and stabilize your circadian rhythms. Honestly, the
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: more research that you do on red light therapy, the
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: more that you're like, Wow, this really can help with
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: so many different things.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like the fact that there's no medication
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: involved and it's all natural.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Yes. One thing that I've love about all of the
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: therapies that we offer is that they're not invasive. I'm sure.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: I always say, like, I've done some shady stuff to
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: heal my body, you know, going into like different chambers
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: and you know, getting poked with things and trying different
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: therapies and stuff. This you just sit there and I
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: can just go about my day and you know, or
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: even I'm just working and I put the red light
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: wherever it needs to go. So it's non invasive. It's
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: you don't have to do you don't have to do much.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: It is easy, which you know, is very convenient.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: That's why I love it because I just press the button,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: put the time on, and then I don't have to
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: do anything else. I don't have to work out, I
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: don't have to drink something, I don't have to anything.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't have to go anywhere or deal with anyone.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could take it with you, like on vacation.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's true. Yeah. So do you want me
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: to go into like the background of red light therapy
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: or have you guys done that already?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: No, you can definitely go into the background of it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to ask that, Like, so you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: if you can explain what red light therapy is to
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: pay people and you know how it differs from this
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: regular some light, you know, regular the light bulb in
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: your house, you know.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: So, red light therapy is known as photo biomagulation, also
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: known as low level light therapy. It uses specific low
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: level wavelengths to provide therapy and wellness benefits. So we
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: use on our red light, we use six fifty and
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: six fifty nanometers, so that's the specific wavelength, and for
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: near infrared we use eight fifty So those are specific
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: wavelengths for the human body. We find that there are
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: quite a lot of people who use plant grow lights
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: and repurpose them as as human human red lights, which
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: are not the same wavelength. So but funny enough, that's
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: how that's how red light therapy was discovered. It was
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: discovered in you know space that they realized that red
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: light therapy was able to use be used during to
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: help plants grow and and they were like, oh, this
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: is interesting. That can that help with humans? And it can.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of science involved re light therapy
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: first started. I'm like, wow, this is verywhelming. So in
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: a nutshell, relate therapy taps into the power of the
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: red and near infrared wavelengths to boost energy production to
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: our cells, which then gives our cells more energy and
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: more life. So we're born with a certain amount of
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: cells and like that's it. So you're born with x
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: amount of cells, and it's our jobs to keep them
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: healthy and living and vital. So red light produces ATP
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: and that gives our body. It gives our cells more energy.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: So the red and near infrared wavelengths increase the energy
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: production in our cells to create a mill you'll called
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: at P and that generates cellular energy. Yeah.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: So it's like I was reading that when we when
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: we get regular sunlight, it goes into the cells and
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: it creates vitamin D and red light. It's like stronger
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: than that, or it creates a different, you know, type
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: of energy and it helps the cells along. So I
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: thought that was really cool.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: Well, with your with your full spectrum of your of
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: the light of like sunlight and all of the all
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: of the braids, right, you don't you don't have you
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: have a very you have a little bit of near infrared,
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: but you don't have red light in in your in
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: the sun. There's some that say that there's a little
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: in like the sunrise and the sunset, but I don't.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: I'm not a scientist, so I don't want to I
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: don't want to claim that. But also when you when
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: you break down right and vitamin D is a whole
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: nother uh conversation, and I'd be happy to talk about
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: that in a few months. Spoiler alert. I when you
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: have a product like our our red light therapy towers,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: it is a it's all you're getting. You're getting red
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: and red red light and near fread. You're not getting
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: any of the of the harmful rays of like the
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: UVC or the UV or the UV a which you
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: know if you get too many, too much of could
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: be harmful. So this is like a pure therapeutic experience.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: So you're you're only getting what you what you need,
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: that's all you get, So.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: You're not getting more than your body needs.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Well for the absorption level that your body will only
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: absorb what it needs and everybody, everyone's body is different,
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: so that that's called a dose response curve. Okay, so
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: let's say you did a twenty minute session. Maybe your
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: body absorbed for the whole twenty minutes, maybe it didn't,
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: But however, that's not going to be harmful for you.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Someone like me, if I sat out in the sun,
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: just for instance, and I sat out in the sun
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: for twenty minutes, that would be more harmful for me
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: because I'm someone who's like very fair and could burn.
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: So so what I'm saying is when you are using
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: the red light therapy, you're only getting those specific two wavelengths.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: You're not getting all of the other harmful rays that
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: you could get in the uh environment.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what would be like a typical safe amount
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: of time to sit in front of the red light?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, because me personally, I would sit in front
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: of it all night long, like have it on when
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I sleeping, maybe it'll help me.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: But what I mean is are you asking like, is
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: there too much of a good?
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, That's what I'm trying to get to.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: No, sour our timers only go up to thirty minutes
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: because typically no one's absorbing more than that anyway. But
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: there it's not harmful unless you have, like there's always
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: contraindications for anything. Unless you have like a photosensitivity or
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: take medication that causes photosensitivity, then you would want to,
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: you know, check with your doctor first. But but yeah,
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: once your body is done like absorbing, there is no
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: harm to keep going. I mean, I definitely use my
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: red light a lot, and I do think that I'm like, eh,
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: I definitely stopped absorbing it probably a while ago, but
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: it does help me sleep, it does calm me down.
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: So there's also there's also that too, So I think
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: there's peace of mind knowing that you're not doing any
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: damage to yourself either.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: My question I also had was the goggles, like the
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: personal tower that I came with goggles. Now, I never
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: is our red light harmful to the eyes or is
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: that just for people who just want to put them on.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: No, it's not harmful to your eyes at all. It's
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: actually really good for you. However, the red light is
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: very intense, so I am light sensitive. However, the red
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: light does not bother me. Very bright like white LEDs
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: bother me, or like flashing lights like lee sirens of
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: police lights and things like that, those like bother me,
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: but our red light does not bother me. We include
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: the goggles just because usually like it's that like when
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: you turn it on, because I think we're just instinctually
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: we go to protect our eyes. But I recently went
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: to the eye doctor and I no longer have an astigmatism.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: And I can't say that it's because I use red lay.
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but I'm like, I've had it since
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: fifth grade, wow, way beyond fifth grade now, So I
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: do know that there are there have been studies that
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: it does help with your Eyesay, it hasn't improved my vision.
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: I still need glasses, but it definitely isn't isn't bad
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: for them. So the answers we only include the We
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: include the goggles just for personal for personal preference. Some
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: people like to cover their eyes, some people don't. And
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: then I think people also use them based on their
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: comfort too.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was my one.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: I saw them in there. I was like, I'm gonna
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: have to ask about these, just to make sure.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: You can also use a polarized sunglasses as well, if you,
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: if you it's at your comfort level.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, no, I'm fine without them. I just want
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: to make sure I'm like, yefully, I'm okay with not
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: using them because I'd rather not lay here with tanning goggles.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you, if you did some research, and there
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: are lots of wavelengths that are harmful to the eye,
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: like uv B is m and actually if you look
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: at UVB, you wouldn't. You don't go to instinctually protect
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: your eyes because you're used to uv B. It's the
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: sun all the time. So actually UVB is more damaging
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: than the than the red and ear and bread.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: So what is uh, what's the plans for the future
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: of red light and clear light.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Well, we have our we have our three towers, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: we have a various various different ways to mount them.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: So we're just educating and making the therapy available. So
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: I did want to say that there are if you
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: did any kind of uh googling or looking on Amazon.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: There's so many red light devices. There's red light devices
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: in so many things, and even my sponsored ads are
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: like red light pimple patches and things. Crazy. Red light
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: therapy is not all created equal. So when you're looking
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: for relay therapy, you want, you know, a trusted, trusted manufacturer.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: You want someone who has the correct wavelengths, which are
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: the six fifty and the eight to fifty for the
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: human body, and you want them to have a strong irradiance.
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: So that's the power. We find that some of our competitors,
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: they'll start out real strong right with us, but then
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: over the you know, ten to fifteen minutes, their power,
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: their power drops and our power stays the same. So
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: when you're researching all of that stuff, that's that definitely
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: should be your deciding factor in how much you want
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: to spend, because there's there's so many cheap red light
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: bulbs out there to buy.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: And that's what I have the thing seen that even
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: my sister bought me this I don't even know what
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: to call it, this facial device off of Amazon where
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: you put it on your face, it like sits there
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: and it's red light, blue light, and I'm like, this
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: feels rinkydinky. I can't imagine this is true red light
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: or blue light or whatever the heck they're you know,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: advertising it as And I'm like, how can they get
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: away with this? You know? I mean, I don't know
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: the science behind it. I don't know what to look
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: for when I'm looking at like an ad or a description.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: But now we know, well yeah, I mean, but do
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: they put that on there? I don't know. Well that's
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: gonna have the look now, I'm going to go back
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: and look.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: But but that's my thought is are these companies saying
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: you know, because I mean, I'm sure you could probably
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: google it and see what the regulations are. But are
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: these companies just writing that in their description, just say
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: it to sell.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: To sell it. They say this is red light on
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: your skin, It helps this, this and that. Yeah, it's scary.
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you definitely need to do your research in anything,
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: especially when it comes to our health and well being.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: And to go back to what we were saying about
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: the therapeutic dose, So if you are sitting in arsana,
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: you are about depending on if you're sitting straight or
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: if you're leaning, so you're about twenty four inches away
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: from our red light so the farther you're away from
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: the red light, the longer the the longer the session.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: So you would do the thirty minute session. But if
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: i'm if I have my device right next to my skin,
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: if I'm spot treating, or if i'm you know, just
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: doing my facial treatment, I'll just do five minutes. You
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: don't need that long if I'm right next to it.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's good to know.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So if you compared our Personal Tower to any
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: of the very popular LED masks, So the LED mask
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: will treat the faith and I've seen people strap at
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: all their shoulders and things like that, which are very funny.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: But they also then sell the attachments and you've got
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: the neck and the hands and the boots and all
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: of that stuff. Their irradiance is lower, their powers lower,
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: their wavelengths are depending on the company. The wavelengths are
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: are correct, but you're only getting you're not getting the
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: versatile treatment. So with our with our Personal Tower, you can,
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: like I said, you can move it around. You're getting
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: you know, you're getting this much coverage, right, so you're
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: getting your face and your neck. And something that we
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: offer is our patented variable optics. So something that you
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: can't see when you're looking into like the lens. Each
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: each lens is turned differently. And instead of think about
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: a cat toy, you know the laser toys, and it's
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: one single beam of light and the cats are going crazy.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: Those are what our competitors use, single beams of light.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: With our variable optics, they're all of the lights are
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: pointing in different directions, so they're covering more of your cell.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: So it's a more therapeutic, a more therapeutic, and so
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: it's offering more therapy and less time.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these are things that people wouldn't know, and that's
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: that's good that we're getting this out there because all
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: my friends, that's the crazy right now is red light therapy.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Red light therapy and they have the mask, like you said,
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: the next things that this.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I have a teenager. So we've got all
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: of the under eye patches and the pimple patches. And
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you're going out in public like this. I like,
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: what is happened there? Now? There are colors and stars
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: and things, and I'm like, you know, you could just
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: do five minutes on the red light and you're going
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: to be gonna be fine. You don't have to have
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: stickers all over over your faith, yeah, which is what
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: a time to be alive. We we offer a very
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: like a lot of different mounting options. So with the
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: Personal it comes with a stand so you can take
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: it on and off and you know, move it around.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: We also have a fixed wall amount, so it's just
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: a little strong but mighty little bit mighty sainless steel
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: mount that you can just put it on the wall,
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: take it off and you can't see it when it's
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: on the wall. And for our other sized towers, we
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: have a personal I'm sorry, a core tower which goes
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: in our soun at thirty eight inches, and then we
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: have a fifty nine inch full body tower. That thing
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: is amazing. I have it on my door. It's almost
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: bigger than me. And that's a you know, a one
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: stop shop where you're just stand in it. Very it's amazing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: But with all of our towers, you're getting it. So
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: if you compare our small tower to our largest tower,
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: you're still getting the theme or radiance. You just have
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: more LEDs yeah and more coverage. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: So the smaller doesn't have less power.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: And you sell the saunas too, right, I would selling
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: all the saunas on there, and that's that's really nice.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm I'm happy to talk to you about all
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: of the benefits of infrared sana. It's really every time
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: I talk about it, I'm like, you know, I'm just
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: going to remotely turn my sauna and get that preheated.
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go I'm going to go in because
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: it really it really is amazing.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Oh I know. To me, yeah, I've used saunas and
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love them.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: It's funny to me because this was is a big
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: thing in like Europe and Asia, the saunas. And my
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: stepmother's from China and she moved here i'd say like
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, and when she moved into our home,
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: she bought a sauna and I'm like, why if she's like,
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: I can't believe you guys don't have saunas, you know,
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: And she had We had a sawna in our house
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: growing oh the past, you know, for a long time,
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: and I just thought it was crazy. Every day she
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: would go in it multiple times a day and she's like,
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: this is what we do over there, and I thought
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: it was nuts. And now you see more and more
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: people in the United States, or you're getting saunas or
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: going to sauna treatments, and it's like we're behind on
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: the times.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: I guess, you know, honestly, Yes, I mean in Finland,
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: it's just a part of their culture. A lot of
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: families in Finland have multiple saunas in their home. They
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: have a family sna and then they have like a
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: party sauna. It's a communal it's a communal thing. There's
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: Russian banya's, there's the Native American sweat lodges, the Moroccan
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: moms like there in other cultures. There's so many different
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: versions of the sauna and I am happy to be
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: a part of that, a part of this you know
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: awakening that it's finally coming over here. I mean you'll
• 54:00

  Speaker 3: one they have, But yeah, it's really it's like beneficial
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: and more and more people are doing it, which is good.
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: And you're also going to see you know, physical therapists
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: offering it. The Stretch Lab studios in my town they
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: offer it, yoga yoga, A few yoga studios here offer it,
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: so you're going to see it pop.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Up, which is a good thing. I'd rather that than

  Speaker 5: Exactly. And I always say like it's like like I

  Speaker 5: on to it. It's not going to harm or hurt
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: the other things that you're doing. For whatever particular ailment
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: that you're treating.
• 55:28

• 56:15
  Speaker 3: That's good you get. Yeah, you should be getting the

  Speaker 3: word out there because Amazon and all these other companies
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: out there are selling products that are not doing what
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: they should be doing. They're lying to customers and I
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: know a lot of my friends have probably gotten scammed
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: in there. They're thinking they're doing something and it's not.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean that really puts the onus on the consumer.
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: So we we sell on Amazon as well. So you
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: just have to do your research and say, like what
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: you know to what products that you bring into your home,
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: just like any research you do with food or vitamin
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: supplement and things like that.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, thank you so much. Melissa. Oh you're welcome.
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: This was great. And if you want to talk offline
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: and I'm happy to.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: Share, yeah, then appreciate it.
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: Thank you great, Thank you so much.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Do you think red light therapy will help me like
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: lose a lot of fat? There? You know?
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Or I don't know?
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: Or negate the sugary desserts that I like to have.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: You don't even really like sugar. Sugar?
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Here are the sugar, yes, but I really I really
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: want to eat those waffles that you got that Saint
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: Pierre sent us.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yes, the cinnamon waffles.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: The cinnamon sugar. I don't even butter. It was just heaven,
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: heaven on a plate. So I really want to eat those.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: And I'm wondering, like, maybe if I add a little
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: extra time to my red light therapy, will that help?
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: Negate the fact that I just ate that sweet heavenly goodness.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: I doubt it, but it is sweet, heavenly goodness. It
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: would be even more sweeter if I had ice cream.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm on this ricked diet for my gi
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: issues that I cannot have ice cream, Well, I can
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: have dairy free ice cream. Yeah, but that was kind
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: of like. My treat for the week. Yeah, was the
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Saint Pierre's cinnamon waffles. I can't tell you how good
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: they were. I could have ate the whole pack.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: I know, it's almost like a doughnut waffle. That's how
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: I can kind of describe it, you know. Yeah, you
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: heat it up in the oven, a toaster oven or
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: a microwave if you want, and it gets warm and
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: the sugar melts on it. And it was so good.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: It really was good. And yeah, it was very bad
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: for my diet for the cruise, but I didn't have one.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, this is so good. I
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: want more. But yeah, so yummy. They sent us that.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: They sent us some Brioche bread and the kids made
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: me French toast with their bread. They had a cinnamon bread.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: And then they sent you some hamburger bums with the
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: sesame seeds. They look amazing. They just look so fluffy,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: and I did. I didn't try them, but they look
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: really good.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe, you know. I mean, grilling season isn't here yet,
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: but my dad might take out the girl this weekend
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: if it's sunny and not raining.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: I grilled. I grilled right before the storm hit last night.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: So you take that grill out, girl, get those burgers going.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: And they ship these over from the UK and it
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: just it came in the cutest box. And I love
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: I love food that's not from the United States because
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: you know, you know they're doing it right over in
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: Europe in the UK. Oh yeah, because we're really behind
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: the times with that.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: So speaking of the chemicals, yeah.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: So really that. I think this is a great thing
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: for mom as a Mother's Day breakfast treat. That's what
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: I told my kids. I want Mother's Day French toast
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: with this bread. You know, we tested it out the
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: other day. It was so good. But I want Mother's
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: Day French toast with their the same Pierre bread. Oh
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: my god, out of this world.
• 59:53

  Speaker 3: Oh god, you know, take the pounds on the cruise

  Speaker 3: number one, but the ones that I have so shiny,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: so hydrating. I absolutely love it. And you you you
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: use that too, you have a lot.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with the Maricousa lip bombs, absolutely obsessed with them,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: and my mom is too. I got some for her
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: for Mother's die. I just I like how they match
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: your lip color and there's colors for everyone, every shade
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: you could think of. And my favorite part about it
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: is my lips are always chopped, always, always, always.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: Her lips are so dry, and I.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Like how they like make them smooth, and you know,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: they give them like that non chopped look.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because when Shauna puts on lipstick a lot of times,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: or lip gloss, it kind of magnifies the chap, the
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: chapped look on her lips, like you could see it
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: even more. But with this, when she put it on,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: it it like hit it. It smoothed it out completely,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: and you wouldn't have even known that her lips were
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: that dry, you know. Yeah, so absolutely amazing. They sent
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: us a ton of different colors and I was excited
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: to try anything from like the more natural that matched
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: my lip tone to a little bit more red, and
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: I love them all. They really, they really they smell good.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: There's one that's a plumper, so you kind of feel
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: that little tingle, and one that's just vinyl, so it's
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: just there's no plump in it, and it's just the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: more like a shinier one. So like she said, shades
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: for every person, and if you like plumping or you.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Don't, Rosie is my favorite shade.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: Rosie. I think I have Berry. I can't remember the name,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: but it's a more reddish maroonish color and I liked
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: it because it gave me a little Papa color, because
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: sometimes my lips blend in too much with my lip gloss,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: but this one was a little papa color, felt a
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: little sexy in it. So Mom's Tart is our favorite.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: We love it. Definitely something and you should try out.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: And right now we are going to jump into an
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: interview with Sarah Sparks. She is an author of the
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Monsters on Mill Street series for kids. Such a cute book.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: I know my daughter was looking it over and she's
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: too young to read it, but she absolutely loved the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: illustrations and I'm thinking that she's getting the message behind it.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: They were really, really, such a cute idea.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Shauna and La La and today we
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: have an exciting interview. We are interviewing the author of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: the Monsters on Mill Street book series for kids. Sarah
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Sparks is the author, and it's such a cute book.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, the whole series is so cute.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: I like the illustrations too, besides what it was about.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is so cute.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the colors.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: My daughter.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: I have a three year old, and she was loving
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: the colors, and you know, she couldn't read it. I
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: was reading it to her, but she was more interested
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: in the character.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so much.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's you know, the story is built to
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 6: engage kids, and your daughter is the perfect age for them.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 6: So that's that's why we set out to make it
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: so bright and colorful and that she'll read over and
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 6: over and over again and to the point where you'll
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 6: you'll have to hide it somewhere the other books on
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 6: the bookshelf because you'll need to get some variety in there.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: But that's what I do with my kids.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: But yeah, pitch it out.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: So can you share a little bit of your backstory
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: and the life changing injury that you had to uh
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: go through?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, so, I've I've always been a storyteller
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: in one form or another. Usually I was working in
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 6: corporate communications and telling other people's stories. But you know,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 6: one day that kind of that kind of all changed
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 6: for me. So it was a few years ago. It
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: was actually Thanksgiving in twenty one, and I was walking
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: to the bathroom and and I fell. So I fell
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 6: in what was probably one of the worst rooms in
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 6: the house to fall in because of all the hard surfaces,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: and you know, I hit multiple of those on the
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: way down, and and I blacked out, and you know,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: that was that was the moment that kind of changed
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 6: everything for me. I was taken to the emergency room
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 6: and the doctors they looked me over and they diagnosed
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 6: me with the traumatic brain injury. And you know it,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 6: it's funny because when you're diagnosed with the traumatic brain injury.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: It's it's different. It's different than what you'd expect.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: You know, if you break an arm or a leg,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 6: you kind of know how the bone is meant to heal.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: You understand the process. You understand how you know your
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: your arm.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: Is casted and or your leg is casted, and a
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: few weeks later, the bone heels and you're back to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 6: your normal self again. But with with a brain injury,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: you don't really know what to expect from the recovery process.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: They they don't tell you you're going to be better
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: in a week or a month, or a year.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 6: In fact, there's this this caveat that is hanging over
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 6: your head where your brain might not ever actually get
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: back to the way it was before.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: This may be your new normal.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: And and so for me that was really scary because
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 6: you know, at that time, because of the injury, there
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 6: were there were things that I used to do that
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 6: I used to really take for granted that I couldn't.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 6: I couldn't do anymore, things like reading, writing, and understanding
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 6: a grocery list, you know, reading an email.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't process that information. The words were
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: just they would they would swirl off the page, and
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't process what I was seeing.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: It was it's hard to play with my kids. You know,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 6: I love my kids, I really I love my kids.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: But kids are.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 6: Noisy, you know, they they move around a lot, and
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 6: all of that extra stimulus that's going on around me,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 6: I could might it was so difficult to process it.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 6: And so it was hard to even play with my kids.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 6: I had to work at these relationships. Yeah, and it
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 6: kind of dominoed and spiraled from that. You know, I
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 6: ran a business, I ran a communications firm, and all
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 6: of a sudden, I couldn't communicate.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I couldn't.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: Do the things I wanted to do, and and my
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 6: things started spiraling out of control. I almost lost the business.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 6: We almost lost our house, you know, because of the
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: financial strain that we became fall under. And so it
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: felt like everything I touched was all the sudden breaking.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: But you know, the weird thing is is that during.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: That time.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: I could see these monsters so clearly. I could see
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 6: their stories so clearly. And that was odd because I've
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: never written children's books before. You know, this wasn't my
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 6: area of specialty. But their stories came to life so clearly,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: and I just began writing. I began writing and writing,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 6: and I clung to it like it was a life
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 6: raft for me, because it was my life raft. Yeah,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: And you know, honestly, if I'm honest, as I look back,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 6: I think with all the work that I had to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: put into, you know, the little things like playing with
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 6: my kids and building those relationships, I was so focused
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 6: on that that I look at the monster books and
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: I realized what I was doing was I was writing
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: our lives.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: I was trying to hold onto those little moments with
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: my kid.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: It's the things that I was working so hard at,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: the things I was I was trying to hold on
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 6: too before I forgot those moments, and I was writing
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 6: them down, and I was writing what we were living,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 6: how we were playing, the challenges that we were going through,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 6: and I was helping them work through.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: All of those little.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 6: Life's moments made it into these these books. And they're silly,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 6: fun books for kids. You know, they're meant to be entertaining.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: They're meant to be, you know, books that they can
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 6: pick up and read again and again and enjoy. And
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 6: so it's it's I tell folks, you know, when when
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 6: you read one of these books, I sometimes I joke
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: and I say, you know, you're you're getting to see
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: what my kids are like. You know, you'll really get
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 6: a good idea what my kids are like, or what
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: are families like. But that's that's so very true because
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 6: there's so much of.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Us that I put into these stories.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: And it probably one of the hardest times in our
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: family's life. You know that I can recall I was
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: I was writing the books about us.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of that cliche saying like you took
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: lemons and you made lemonade with it. You know, that's
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: basically what you did, and that that's amazing And that
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: takes a lot because I can't even imagine a brain injury,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: And it isn't it crazy how you were able with
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: everything going on your head, you were able to focus
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: on that and on a book, and then you started
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: writing a children's book. You know, like that's not what
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: you usually hate, the typical story you hear from that,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: and that's amazing to me.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: It was just it was therapeutic. That's the only way
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: I can describe it. Like I said, you know, when
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 6: the whole world is falling apart around you and you
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: feel like everything you touch is breaking you, really you
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: cling to the one thing you can do and do well.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: And this was the one thing that I could do
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: and do well.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: And so, you know, after the books were written, then
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 6: I had these stories, and you know, it took a
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: few years from.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: My brain to heal. It's never it's never been quite
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: what it was when I started, you know, before the accident.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: But once the stories were done, I thought, you know,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 6: there's there's so much good in here. There's so much silliness,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 6: there's so much fun, there's so many good messages because
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: the books are they really have this social emotional learning
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 6: and life skills and growth mindset undertone to them that
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 6: I thought, you know, we've got these great series. We
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: should be sharing them more kids should be able to
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: read them and and hopefully take away some of the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: fun life lessons that are there.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I think each book has, you know, different lessons in it.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: And you know, the book that I read, you know,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: it was kind of like, don't give up, you know,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: keep going, don't let somebody tell you that you can't
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: do something.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's always a good lesson for any any age,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: any especially My daughter's three, and she might not understand
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: fully what you're trying to get across. But the more
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: the older she gets, the more we read it, the
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: more you I instill those messages into her. Yeah, they're
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: going they're going to learn, They're going to pick up
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: on that, and it's very important.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 6: It's interesting because I you know, you say, as you
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: read it over and over again, you pick up on
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 6: those messages, and that's so so true.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: There.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you a story about one woman who I
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 6: met and I adore her, and she she took you know,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: the three books that we started out with the Monsters
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 6: on Mill Street series home, and she started reading them
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 6: with her daughter, and their family was going through a
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: bit of a messy divorce at the time. It was
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: hard for her, it was hard for her husband, it
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: was hard for their daughter, and you know, the daughter
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: would come home. She you know, jumped from parents' house
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: to parents' house, and the daughter would come home and
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: the mom said, she was like this tornado. She would
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: just be this big tornado of you know, anger and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 6: frustration and she'd just want to explode and she would.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 6: And so the mom had been really you know, shaping
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: their days around this. She knew what she was going
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 6: to get when her daughter walked to the door, because
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: it was so hard. You know, kids can't control how
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 6: they feel about situations that really, at that age you
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: have no control over. And so they started reading these
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: books togethers and they actually read one of our older books,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: The Angriest Monster on Mill Street, and that book deals with,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: you know, how how do you deal with big emotions
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: when you feel like you just want to explode, when
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: you feel like you want to huff and puff tornadoes
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: and you know, stomp and cause earthquakes. Because those are
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: the visuals we really use to describe those big feelings
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: in that anger. And you know, one day, the little
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: girl came home, she's about five years old. She came
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: home and the mom was expecting this explosion and it
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: never came. The little girl she walked in the house,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: she sat down on the couch and she just started
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: petting her blanket, this soft, fluffy blanket that she had.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: And of course the mom was like, you know, what
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: are you doing. It was odd, and the little girl
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: just said, you know.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 6: I need a minute, and my blanket is soft. I
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: just I want to feel my blanket. It's really soft.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: And what's really interesting about that is that that's a
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: grounding technique that we talk about in The Angriest Monster
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 6: on Mill Street, which is one of our previous stories.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 6: And the little girl at five years old had taught
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 6: herself that grounding technique because of this fun, silly children's book,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: this monster story that's meant to be entertaining. It also
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: had that lesson underneath that she took and she internalized
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: and it made a difference for her, it made a
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: difference for the mom, for the whole family.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: It really is so in the book, does the monster
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: have a soft, fuzzy blanket.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: No, he doesn't.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: He doesn't, but he does grow enormous. He grows up
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 6: past the rooftops, and you know, his size matches his
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: anger at that moment, and he causes chaos. You know,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: he floods the street with his tears and he just
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 6: is you know, there has to be something that can
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: help me. And so he starts thinking about what can
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: he see, what can he feel?
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: What can he hear? What can he taste? What can
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: he smell? The five senses, he.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 6: Starts using those and as he's doing that and being
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 6: very present in the moment he's he starts to calm down,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: he starts to breathe, and he starts to shrink, and
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 6: so do his emotions. And so it's it's a really
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 6: it's it's a way of integrating that growth mindset, I'm sorry,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: not growth mindset, the grounding.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Technique into the book.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 6: Without directly telling a child what to do or feel
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 6: or think, because that was critical when we were doing
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 6: these books. We never wanted to tell a child what
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 6: to do, yeah, because you know, are they really going
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 6: to listen to us as grown ups? I don't know,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 6: maybe hopefully that's the goal, but we wanted to make
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 6: characters that they could relate to with challenges that they
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 6: could understand and internalize and really come to the conclusions
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 6: about how to solve those problems themselves without being told
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 6: what to do. And I think that's what really sets
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: all of the books in this series, apart from a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 6: lot of the other social emotional learning content that's out there.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: How many books do you have currently out for the series?
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 6: So right now there are three out. So there's The
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 6: Angriest Monster on Mill Street, the Bounciest Monster on Mill Street,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 6: and the Messiest Monster on Mill Street.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say that.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 6: And at the end of summer we've got we've got
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: two new ones coming out. So we've got one of
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 6: them is The Strongest Monster on Mill Street.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: And that story.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: Deals a lot with resilience. I think that's actually the
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 6: one that you were talking about. It's how do you
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 6: overcome things that are out of your control, you know,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: and life really isn't going your way? How do you
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 6: build up those resilient skills and how do you manage
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 6: to work your way through them? So that's the Strongest
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: Monster on Mill Street and then the Awesomest Monster on
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: Mill Street is the second book that's coming out at
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: the end of summer, and that one is actually about
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 6: social anxiety and overcoming and dealing with social anxiety. And
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 6: it feels like both of these are very very grown
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: up topics, especially in a picture book for kids that are.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: You know what, three to eight years old.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but but it's done in a very silly and
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: fun and safe and you know, very Monsters on Mill
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: Street way.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: That's so cute.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: Such it's such a cute title for the series. You
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: should really think about like doing like a TV show
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: or something cartoon.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love it. We actually we have we
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: have videos. I'm not going to say they're you know, like.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: Cartoons like television shows that you'd watch, but we do
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: have videos on our YouTube site.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: So Monsters on Mill Street has a.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: YouTube page and we have these these interactive videos.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: We have a couple of them up there now where
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: the kids actually get to be a part of the adventure.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 6: They they jump when it's the monster's turn to jump,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 6: and they have to march when it's the monster's turn
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 6: to march. So it's another way of bringing it to
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 6: life in a very physical, fun way.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: That's really cool.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: I don't want to have to let my daughter watch that.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: At what moment did you realize your journey can become
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: a source of hope and resilience for children and families,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 6: I think it was when my own kids were coming
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: home from school and they were doing a lot of
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 6: you know, social emotional.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Learning activities at school.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 6: And you know, there are a lot of curriculums out
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 6: there that try to teach this to to students very
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: very young, you know, from pre k all the way
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: up through high school really.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: And so I was watching them come.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: Through the door, telling me about their day and telling
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 6: me what they had learned. And I thought the curriculums
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 6: were wonderful and good, but the message wasn't sticking. They
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: weren't really remembering the stories that they were getting, and
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: so I kind of thought, you know, these these monster
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: books that we have here, they're trying to communicate the
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: same underlying, you know, moral of the story as a
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: lot of these sel curriculums out there. They would be
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: a great supplement because kids want to read them. You know,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 6: if a child can relate to the characters, they can
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: see themselves in the characters. If the story is funny
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 6: and rhymes and they get a really good giggle out
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 6: of it and they want to read it at bedtime
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: over and over again. That repetition and that you know,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: relatability is gonna hopefully make that message stick more. I mean,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: we all remember stories like the Tortoise and the Hair
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: and the Little Red hen and the Little Engine that could.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 6: Learning through storytelling has such an impact that that's really
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: where these books, these books sit. They're entertaining their fun.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: They also had that that underlying moral and message that
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 6: hopefully helps kids grow into amazing humans.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: They are amazing humans, but amazing grown up humans.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, we need a lot more of that, and yeah,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: they should have these And that's what we were talking
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: about with Teresa, that hopefully these books can get into
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: more school districts and you know, pre k kindergarten, and
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great place to start, you know,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: and start then, because once they're a little older, it's harder,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: it's harder to kind of change either the way they
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: were raised or the way their thought process. It's never
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: no hope for that. You know, you can always have hope,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: but it's better at starting an a good age.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: I even think like in the guidance counselor's office, they
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: would be a good fit. You know, in case a
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: kid is having a meltdown or you knowing through something,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: through something, we could look at book and read it,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: or the guidance counselor could read it to them.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Yeah, that's that's great.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: And they have such a hard job, you know, teachers
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: and school counselors and even school librarians, they have such
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: a hard job already to begin with, one of the
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: hardest jobs I think in the whole world. And then
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 6: they have this added challenge where they don't actually know
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: what anyone child is bringing with them through the door
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: on any given day. And so, you know, my hope
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 6: is is that if folks are reading these books, and
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 6: if you know, the story is getting told over and
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: over again, that the message is internalized, and then one
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: day when that child needs it, they'll fall back on
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: that message that they know.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Because it's habit, because it's already a part of them.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: So that's why I think, you know, introducing these books
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: to children, like you say, in the pre k kindergarten
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: first grade age range is good because the earlier they
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 6: hear the messages, the better.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: And it's really good for any age. You know, there's
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: no age limit on the book.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: Even Yeah, well I get what you're saying. But like
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: even as an adult reading it, and maybe an adult't
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: choose to read it themselves, like oh, I'm gonna buy
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: this book for myself, but as they're reading it to
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: their kids, I think it definitely might awaken something like ah, yeah,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: you know what, that's a good way to handle that,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: or I'm kind of getting the message here, and yeah,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: it can be for all ages. Even if my son,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: my son is eleven, if he wrote it to his sister,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: he might pick up on some messages. He might necessarily
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: choose to read the book himself, but reading it to
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: his little sister, Yeah, that's a that's a good point.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, especially those the two newest books, because the message
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: of building up resilience and how to overcome social anxiety,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: those are are issues that really start to crop up
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 6: a little bit later for kids. You know, when you
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: start hitting that fourth, fifth, sixth, seventhethh grade range, that's
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: when those those big emotions and those challenges start to
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: steep in, and so yeah, you know when older siblings
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: are reading it to their younger ones that hopefully that
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: message sticks with them as well, because that's important for
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: them in that moment.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: It's important for all of us even as grownups, do
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: you think in that moment.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: So there's a special pre sale going on for your
• 1:23:14
