• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, We've had so many things to do. We had
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: a big event we did on Sunday that we were
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: practically gone all day and that we're exhausted from that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I'm still exhausted from that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: I felt like I was drugged Monday morning.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we went to this event called What She Said,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: and it was about empowering women and different things that
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: women can benefit from and others. But you think about it,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: we drove down to about two hours away and then
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: we were walking and walking and interviewing people from practically
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: like one o'clock till eight o'clock. So it was fricking
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: long and lugging around the equipment and there's nowhere to sit,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: so you really didn't get to take a breather or
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: break on your on your feet and you're and it
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: was hard. So I think our bodies are just like, WHOA,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: what the hell did we just go through? You know?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was such a long day. There was no
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: food and I was so hungry. They had restaurants or
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a restaurant there, but I was just so so hungry,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I know, And we waited because of my stomach until
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: we got closer to home and we, uh, we just
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: we pulled into Cosmos, which is one of our favorite restaurants,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and we just went to town. Like the lady was like,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Lauren walks up and she's like, are you still serving?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: And he's like, yeah, come on in.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I'm shocked. Number one, it's a Sunday and they were
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: open till ten pm. I'm like, there's not gonna be
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: anywhere for us to eat. It's a Sunday. Everything closes
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: at six o'clock.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: You know, well in Jersey everything closes total Sundays.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Sundays, there's you can't go shopping or anything. But yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: this restaurant was open till ten. But yeah, we sat down,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: we knew what we wanted, We ordered, we were down
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: in the bread got it, you know, more bread and
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: then oh food, we were so hungry. But yeah, just
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: a busy week and the event was great. We met
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: a lot of amazing, amazing people and we made some
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: great connections. Some had some great interviews that we're going
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: to be sharing with you throughout the month. There were
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: just so many. I think we did what ten interviews
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: about or.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we had like fourteen or fifteen scheduled,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: but because the day didn't really go as planned, we
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: did about eleven I think ten or eleven interviews and
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: they were all interesting. I know, like I could have
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: sat there and talked to each one of them for
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: like an hour.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: That was the problem, and you only had like five
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: minutes to talk to each one, and you have to
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: try and get the best questions to really highlight their
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: their product or their service and your business. Yeah, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: just so, but yeah, we My one of my favorites
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: was Piper Blue Cosmetics and yeah, the organics and oh
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: my god, I just I fell in love with the CEO.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Her name is Cindy Yates. Fell in love with her,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: like I wish that she could just I could hang
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: out with her every day you know, I wish.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: She was local. I didn't even ask where where she's from.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I know we should have. And the owner, Jamie of
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Piper Blue, she was so sweet, but it was just
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: like sometimes you meet people and you just have an
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: instant connection. And that's how I felt with Cindy, talking
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: with her and learning her story, learning the company story,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: learning Jamie's story, and these are products that I believe in.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I just tested and tested them out there, but learning
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: about how organic they are and how there's no toxic
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: anything in it, like they make sure, Jamie makes sure
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: that there's nothing bad in there, and you can't trust
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: all brands. So that right there spoke to me as
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: everyone knows how I feel about that kind of stuff.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: So we are ordering. Oh I am ordering, at least
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I know I am.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I have a new product out and it's called face glass.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, I've been using that and you've been.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Using it on your face. I've been using it on
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: my lips, and my lips are always chopped, no matter
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: what I mean. I could put chopstick on twenty times
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a day and they're still chopped.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: This stuff really worked.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: It's it. My face looked amazing. I've only used it
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: now since Sunday, so it's been like three days that
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I've used it. But it's it's it feels thick in
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: your hands and you warm it up and it kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: of like it turns a little more liquid. And I
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: put it on my skin and I look so dewy,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: like my face shines and it's not a greasy shine.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: It's like a really a beautiful shine to my face
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: and it kind of just the imperfections kind of melt away.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: And with more use, I was reading up on it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: My wrinkles, my fine lines, They're going to get better.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: The complexion is gonna get better. So I am excited
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: to continue to use it. So that was a great
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you know, Cindy gave us a sample of that. She
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: tested it on our face first, and I loved it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I loved it, and I've been using their little lip
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: gloss that they gave me. It's so smooth on my
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: lips and it's a pretty very neutral color. So guys
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: check out Piper Blue Organics. Google it. They have a
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: ton of stuff on their website, make up, facial skincare products,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: and they're a brand that I truly believe in and
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I hope that we can continue working with them.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: I hope so too. They color matched me as well.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I finally have the right matching color to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: my face.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: That was funny. So they put they you know, the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: girl tested out some colors on Shawna's face for concealer
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: or foundation or whatever it was, and she put on
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: that last one that was the right color, and she
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: put the mirror up in front of Shawna and Sean
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: was like, I don't see anything, and I said, that's
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: how amazing it matched you like that. That girl matched
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: her so well that you couldn't even tell that it
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: was on her skin. It matched her skin color. So well, yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: so that's awesome.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: And I think we have it on film.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah where is it?
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, I don't see anything.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: That's that's really amazing. So yeah, I couldn't see mine either,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: but I only noticed it because she did cover up something.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I have some red redness on my face, so she
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: was able to cover that with it perfectly, and that's
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: how I noticed it. But it blend. It was like
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: my skin color. So they have really great skin matching
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: with their colors. It's very natural looking, so that's important too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Besides Piper Blue. We talked to life coaches, we talked
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: to authors, We talked to a woman who makes these
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: really cool sneakers that have quotes in them they called
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Intuition Kicks. Yeah, that was sam right, Samantha. She was awesome.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Her story, They all that's the thing. They all had
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: a story, which we've noticed that that's what makes us human.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: We all have a story. And we loved listening to
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: each person tell us, Hey, I was at rock bottom
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: here and this is where I am now, and this
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: is what I've built from being at rock bottom or
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: from going through that traumatic experience in my life. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: it was that gives me. It should give you hope,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: and it gave me hope, you know.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: And even the people that were on the panels that
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: we didn't interview, they had a story too, you know.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: They started out just like me and you just like
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: you know, yeah, your average Joe. And it's great to
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: see like what they have built for themselves.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: And that's what I find in life is we need
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: to stop sitting and feeling self pity and oh, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: my life is hard because of this or because of
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: how I was raised, or because I was poor, we can't.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: We can't have that mindset anymore. You can do whatever
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: you want to do. And it might be harder for
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: some people. I get it, you might start lower on
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: the ladder and not have as much help. But we
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: are all capable of achieving our dreams, of achieving our goals,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: of bettering our lives, of bettering ourselves, of bettering our
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: health to a point with our health, you know, like
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: besides doctors. But we have that ability. And that's what
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: this event showed me is that these people that came,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: some of them like Patrick, his story was amazing. He
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: came from nothing, nothing, and he put himself into situations
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: and he became an Air Force veteran, and he became
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a coach and now he wrote a book and he
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: has this huge movement. So we all have that ability,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and that's a lesson that we all need to take
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to heart and strive for.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was probably my favorite Patrick. Yeah, he was great.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: He was really down to earth and just really really
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: genuinely nice.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Mm hmmm. He had his his whole thing is it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: called this is my Moment, and we you know, we
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: follow him check out. He has a book, he does coaching,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: He helps a lot of kids, anyone that's in need.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: He says, he doesn't discriminate age nothing, you need help,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: he's your man, and I love that he means it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: He means it. It was really nice talking to him
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: and hearing about his family. He's very family oriented. His
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: his beautiful wife was there with him, and you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: he talked about his children, you know, just just super
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: down to earth, family oriented and I love that and
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: that speaks volumes about who he is, and I just
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I loved it. We've we felt you could feel it
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: when you talk to him, just really chill too, right.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: He had such a calming, yeah, a calming presence that
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I felt like at ease, And I think that's probably
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: what makes it easy for people to talk to him
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: and open up to him, because it was such It
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: had such a relaxed state come over me. When I
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: was talking to him. It's like, all right, you know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: that's good. That's what you want when you're when you
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: need someone to help you through through tough times.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: And during some of the interviews, you may hear some
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: interruptions because there were so many people there and so
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: many models, and they were coming in and out of
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the doors.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: And it was just insane. I mean, one guy knocked
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: over the camera.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: The camera, yeah, it's like, oh sorry, another person tripped
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: over it. Another person just it was funny. We're doing
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the interview and this guy we're in like a little corner.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: It's not like he couldn't notice that we were interviewing.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: We went to this little corner and he in the
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: middle of the interview, just walked right through the center
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: of it. And you see Seana, Seana's interviewing the person,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: and Shawna just stops talking and turns her head like
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: excuse me, Like she didn't say anything, but her eyes
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: said it all, like are you kidding me? Are you kidding?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Like seriously, yeah, you could clearly see what we're doing.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, I was so mad. Yeah, so you know, it interrupts.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: But it's like people are just either I feel like
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: no one has self awareness anymore, or if they do,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: they just don't give a crap. And that's that's sad
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: in itself. But yeah, he knew what we were doing
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: because it was there was no way to not know
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: that we were in a corner and he went right
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: through the middle to a door. So I think he
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: was just like I have to get through that door.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I don't care what they're doing, but hey, we run
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: into that all the time. You just you're gonna have
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: nice people and you're gonna have very rude and selfish
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: people that you run into. The other thing that we
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: were finding was so we had this new microphone for
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: our interviews. So it looks kind of like a newscaster's microphone.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: It has that little square around it that you have
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: your logo on it, so it looked really pretty professional.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: And I noticed that me having that in my hand
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: and walking around, people just gravitated to it, looked at it,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: then looked at me, Oh, who are you with? Who
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: are you here with? What are you doing? What do
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you know? Like they thought, you know whatever? And then
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: a few people followed me around Can I have an interview?
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Can you interview me? And they found me a few
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: times a few different people came and found me, like, hey,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: can you interview me now? And I was like I can.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I just don't know, I'm not prepared for this because
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know who you are. You know, Like, how
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: am I going to pull questions out of my butt
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: when I don't know who you are? What's your name,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: what are you here for, what's your profession? So it
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: was kind of a little awkward. I have no problem
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: interviewing anyone, but I do like to have a heads
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: up and know what I'm dealing with because I'm not
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: good on the fly sometimes with questions if I don't
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: know anything about you. So it worked out, but it
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: was just funny that they saw that mic a lot
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: of people and they're like, ooh, interview me please.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: How is your Valentine's though?
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Uh, I worked. I had my other job, my canoli business,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: so I was like.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's right, God, we're going all day.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: All day, so I, you know, had to make the canol.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I had to bring it there, unlows, set up, serve
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: a bunch of women. It was It was okay, it
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: was fun in a way. I was just I was
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: tired because I was there from ten o'clock in the
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: morning till like five something in the evening, and that's
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: a long day, especially you know I'm working all week
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: and everything else. And then I went home. We were
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: supposed to go out to dinner, and I said to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: my husband, I'm tired. I don't I don't feel good.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Not that I was sick, but my body was just
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: so just drained. I said, I would rather lay in
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: bed watch a movie together with the kids. And I'm like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: can you just make me your famous chicken marsala. He
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: makes an amazing chicken marsala. When we were dating. That
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: was the first meal he made me, and that's what
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: won me over because you know my FOODI and he
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: made me this delicious chicken marsala with purshuto in it,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: and usually chicken marsala and have prostuto in it, so
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: it just was like so different to me and I
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: love it. So I asked him to make that and
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: he did, so we had that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Did he make it with pasta?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, it always over. He always puts it over angel
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: hair pasta or he didn't have angel hair. Yes. On
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Valentine's Day, but he did have spaghetti, so it was
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: over spaghetti. And do you have any left I just
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: ate the leftovers yesterday, but I did have I did
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: have less leftovers one day too late. I know I'll
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: have to have him make you some. But it's so good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: So that it was a nice Valentine's Day. He he

  Speaker 4: got me chocolate covered strawberries Angelina chocolate covered strawberries, so
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that's cute. Yeah, he got his girl some chocolate strawberries.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: But I was like, I felt bad because I didn't
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: get him anything, because, like I told you, we usually
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: don't get each other anything. We just go out to dinner.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: And it's not that I'm I guess that's only him
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: getting me something because I don't pay the bill. But
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: that's all we like to do is go to dinner.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it was nice. It was a nice surprise.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: I was like, like, what now, I feel bad. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: pulled out a chocolate from that event I was at
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: all day. There was like a chocolate gar Delli gar Deli,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: however you say it, chocolate bar, so I had taken it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, So when he gave me the strawberries,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: I'm like, hold on. I went in my pocket. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: pulled out this mini chocolate bar and I was like,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: here you go, and he goes really really, I said,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know if feel bad now, but it was
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: all right. It was low key.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: We didn't do anything for Valentine's Date either. Usually we
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: go out and I was just not in the mood.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: My stomach was killing me, so we just stayed home.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: And to be honest with you, I don't even remember
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: what I had for dinner.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Your mom didn't make anything nice.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I don't remember, honestly. I think I've just been so drained,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: like mentally and like physically, that I just I don't remember.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: I went to.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Bed last night at ten o'clock, no, nine thirty, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I was asleep before like ten fifteen, and I woke
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: up at eight o'clock. Yesterday, I woke up at eleven
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. Wow, But I had such a migraine,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm just not sleeping well. And I think it's
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: really got to do with all my inflammation, which we
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: have spoken to a few doctors that we are doing
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: interviews with, and they have said that, yes, inflammation plays
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a huge part in your sleep pattern.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Yep, it does.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: But I can tell you what I did have for breakfast.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I have been having my favorite Saint Pierre's waffles. Ooh,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize I ate the whole bag.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. Those are addicting. They're so yummy. They
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: come in the prepackaged and they have you don't even
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: need syrup with them. They have some sort of oh
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: is it like a sugar coating or are.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: You put butter on it? I don't put syrup on it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: You can, I just don't.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's perfect the way it is. And I just
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: put it in the toastery, you know, like what three
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: minutes and it's done.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's perfect. It's fast and easy. Like my kid,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: my son eats them before school. He just grabs it
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: and goes. So that's been great for that. He loves it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: And then they sent us the hamburger buns, the sesame
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: the seeded buns, and the bread is just so good.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: It's really good.

  Speaker 4: Totally awesome designs that they could pick from.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And we're going to hop into an interview with
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Cindy Muty and she is the founder of the foundation
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Just Because Love Does. And she has a really amazing
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: interesting story. Today on the show, we have Cindy Mudy
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and she is the owner of the organization Just Because
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Love Does. And it's a purpose driven brand creating luxury
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: bamboo sleepwear and it's really geared towards people that are
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: in the hospital and are having obviously major medical issues
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: and surgeries. And you were talking about it before that
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: you wish you knew about it when you had your surgery.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I had major surgery in twenty fifteen and I
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: had to have three drains on me and as you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: it's they're annoying, they tape them. Your skin's raw and
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: like when you have to. So when I saw that
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: on your pajamas that you have like a little thing
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: that loop that you.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Could put it there, I was like, that's genius.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeahs I needed that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: It's crazy that there's nothing really on the market today
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: that has this. It's just it's crazy to me. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I can kind of dive in to like there's some history,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: like there's some this all came out of experience and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: God placing this on my heart that this is what
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I needed to do, and so it's crazy. Today is
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: my ninth year. So nine years ago I was in
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a motorcycle accident today. Wow, I was hit head on
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: and thrown from the bike, ended up. My foot wasn't
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: attached by but muscles and tendons, and so I went
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: for nine months without being able to walk. They had
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: to restructure my foot. You know, Thankfully I can walk.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Thankfully she saved my foot. So totally a god thing
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that we were being watched over that day too. But
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you fast forwarded like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, I started
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: having problems breathing, so kind of what you were saying
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: was like I kept going and saying something is wrong,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and everybody's like, well, I think you just have asthma,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, it's not asthma, Like I knew in
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: my heart and my gut it was not asthma. And
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: so after so many different the same diagnosis, so many
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: different doctors, just so frustrated of not like being told
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: one thing and just knowing my inner knowing telling me
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: something's not right. And so I had kind of been
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: By the end of twenty twenty one. My hands and
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: feet were turning black. I could not walk a fly
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: to stairs, and I was desperately praying one night and
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: just asking for clarity and guidance, like what do I
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: need to do?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Something is not right?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: And so I woke up and I was nudged to
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: get a CT scan on my neck, and I called,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I asked, Diagnostic Imaging. Can I just pay out of pocket?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Can I just get my own seat scan? Because I
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: couldn't get anybody to order it because I didn't believe
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: there was anything else going on. So sure enough, my
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: CT scan revealed that I had a trach yeal Aiel stenosis,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: so it's a narrowing of our trachea or windpipe. It
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: was the size of a coffee stir straw. Oh my god,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: it was so narrow that I couldn't get oxygen through.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And so, you know, there's really no medical diagnosis of
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: why this happened, but I suspect that it was all
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the back to back surgeries that I had and you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: being in debated back to back, and they it caused
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: scar tissue was what it was, and so it was
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: closing my trachea. So that was December twenty twenty one.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: So then once I had a diagnosis February twenty twenty
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: two to June twenty twenty two, I had nine surgeries
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: and procedures, so it was over two stints. The first
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: stint was they went in, they took a section of
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: your trachea, which I had no idea that you actually
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: could do that.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: They reattached it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: So they took the damage area, they reattached it, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I was in icee you for eight days. My chin
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: was stitched to my oh and it's called a gorilla stitch,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: so you don't hyper extend like your neck, so you
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: don't rip those stitches out that you know's holding your
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: tracha together. So I had a really good mindset through that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Piece and got home.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I was home for like three days and I got
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: up and I remember a Sunday morning, I'm like sense
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: of normalcy, right, like, I'm gonna go and I'm gonna
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: wash my car, and I'm like, menh, my neck feels weird,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: and so we sent images. My neck was swollen, and
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: so we sent images to my surgeon. He's like, I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: need you to meet me at the hospital. I'm like, seriously, no,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to, you know, And so we go
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: back down. Well, my tracha had sprung a leak, and
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: so I had air coming through my tracha and that
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: was what the.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: It looked like. It was swollen.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: It was just air in my neck kind of puffing up.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: So emergency surgery they were going to go in and
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: repair the hole that went sideways and my poor husband.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: They come out and they're like, well we had to
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: do plan B. And he's like, we did not discuss
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the plan B, So like what was that? So I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: woke up with a trachaauto me and you can't talk, right,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: They kept it so I didn't talk for seven days
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: until they can put the little I can't ever think
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I name the little cap on it so you can
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: actually have air over your vocal cores and talk, And
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: so couldn't talk.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm riding on a whiteboard. I wake up. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: have no idea what happened.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Having a trachaatomy is awful. There's just so many that's
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a whole story within itself, and so I did not
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: have a good mindset at this point. I was really
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: angry at God, to be honest, and I remember just.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: You know, being in ICU.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: It's noisy, there's like the whole front door's glass, like
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: there's just no it's all so clinical, sterile. And I
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: remember having the Bible app the Bible reading on audio.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: It was two am in the morning. I remember praying
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: to God just like you know, I'm really angry. I'm like,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why this had to go sideways. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: don't understand what lesson I'm supposed to be learning through
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: all this. And He put this on my heart. So
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: through this whole process, every morning I would wake up
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: at five am, I would do a little wipey bath
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: because you can't take baths, right, can't shower, so I
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: took a little wipe bath, and I would put my
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: own pair of pajamas on every morning. And so it
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: ended up kind of being a joke with the doctors
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: because the doctor I had about fifteen doctors and residents
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: that would round on me every morning, and they were like, oh,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: we're always excited to see what kind of pajamas you
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: have on, you know, And so it kind of became
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a thing. And I think, you know, now you look
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: at that, it's like they recognized how different that was, right,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: and that there was an emotional aspect. And so God
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: put on my heart to start a medically adaptive pajama
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: line that looked normal, felt normal, still had that soft
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: miss and comfort of home, and didn't feel so clinical
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: right that hospital scratchy gown where you get up.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: And your flash and everyone there's no dignity at all.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Right, you're already humiliated, right that you're in this situation,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and now I'm showing everyone on my best side of
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: the bust side.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Right, It's like not ideal. And so I then argued
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: with him, I'm like, seriously.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I have a healthcare it background, I know nothing about
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: test styles, and you do remember I failed sewing in school,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: like I'm awful, Like I know nothing about sewing, like.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: That is not my wheelhouse at all. So anyway, he.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Kept nudging me, and I quit my career and started this.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And what's funny is I designed these a lot of experience,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: so I never searched. I never did any research at
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: all of what was on the market while I was
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: designing my prototype. It just it just never really dawned
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: on me, like I'm like, I'm gonna just design this,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: and then I designed it. Then I started doing research,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: and then I filed a patent because everybody realized, like this,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: there's just nothing out in the market today that exists,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: which is.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Crazy to me, right, Like it's just crazy.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think it goes back to I
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: am very grateful for Western medicine.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm alive today.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I'm here today because of the gifts of my surgeons
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and God like watching through that, and I'm eternally grateful.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: But we don't address the whole person.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: We saw all the time on the show.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: We just don't.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: They addressed you as a number, and like, you know,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: you're a robot, a robot, and you are just you're
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: like everyone else, and it's you know, yesterday I ended
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: up in the hospital for tests and my doctor, I
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: actually I couldn't see my doctor. I saw his pa
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: and she had never seen me before, and she said,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: you're gonna take this medicine twice a day. And I
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: looked at her and I said, for my size and
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: she said, you're right, once a day. So it's like
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: you have to remind her, or you have to remind
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: these doctors. Hey, look, you know I'm not the size
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: of an average thirty six year old. You know, I
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: have disabilities, I have health issues. I'm allergic to medication
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: and is different.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yep, everyone is different.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I just yeah, I you know, I'm kind
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: of going off on a little bit side tandedcy. So
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: in addition to the to the pajamas, I have also
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: stood up a five to one C three foundation. So
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest things for me is self advocacy.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: If I would not have self advocated for myself, I
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be here today. If you wouldn't have self advocate,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: you would have been diagnosed with you would have been
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: prescribed the wrong medicine. But how many people don't have
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the support system, don't have the knowledge and just weren't
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: taught to second guess a doctor, right, just accept what
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: they're being.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Told and take that at face value and go on.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: And that's the other I want to provide a community
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: that gives us that that support for people that don't
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: have that, that have that can have another sounding board
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: that teaches that resources and education of self advocacy. That's okay, Right,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: if you don't feel like this is right and that
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: diagnosis doesn't feel good, I mean they might not feel good,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: but does it not feel right? Go get a second opinion,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Go have someone come with you to the doctor's office
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: to hear what you're hearing.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: It's just it's sad to me that there are people
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: out there that just that just accept.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: It, blindly trust everything that they the doctor, doctor there,
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: the doctor.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: They know best.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Well, sometimes they don't know the best and they are
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: taught by a textbook and everyone is different. And I
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: say that all the time. You know, doctors get really
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: pissed off at me, oh because I challenge them, yep,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: and half the time I end up I end up right,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm like, I want this test one, Well,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: you don't need it.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Why do you need it?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't need it, but I want it, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I want to give it to me.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: It's more, it's more information, the more information, right the matter.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh your vitamin B level, you're fine, You're fine.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Now do the test comes back low? Oh you need
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: vitamin B shocks told you something is wrong?
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I think a lot of people don't
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: No, they don't. That's why I self, Like you said,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: self advocacy is very important. We preach it on every
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: almost every shell. And it's when you hear stories like
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: your story, and then you hear our stories, and the
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: more people we talk to, it's it's insane. It blows
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: my mind that doctors didn't realize something and a patient
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: who didn't go to medical school, that didn't go through
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: all that training, was able or had to unfortunately self
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: diagnose themselves. And that's really really scary, really scary.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And she had to pay out of pocket for her
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: own skin, which.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, holl my insurance company, like I want
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: that money back, like they should have did that, or
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: the doctor.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: So the insurance, the whole insurance, the whole mother that's
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of shows with itself.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, but.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's just it's been a journey.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: It's funny because you were you were saying just kind
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: of the challenging them.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: So they didn't like me either.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: So I when I woke up with the tracheatomy, so
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I'm really sensitive to medicine, allergic to a lot of stuff,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: and so the biggest thing is you have a hole
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: in your neck, right, So they don't want you to
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: ask break right, that's a bad thing.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: And so I wake.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Up and I am so sick to my stomach and
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I look and I have all these bags, all this
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: medicine being pumped into me, and I'm like whiteboard writing,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: you know, like what is being given to me?
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Why am I getting it?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And so all of a sudden, i have the infectious
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: disease director coming.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Down and I'm like, that's fine. What are you giving me?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And they're like, well, you know, you have a hole.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: You know, they're afraid of sepsis, they're afraid of all
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: these other things. And I'm like, okay, well what's growing
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: in the petrie dish?
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Has anything grown?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Like? So they're they're trying to give me they're giving me.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I'm on three different antibiotics and I am so close
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to vomiting. I'm having an allergic reaction to one of them.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: So I'm all broken out, in hives red, I'm ready
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: to vomit, and I'm like, stop them all. If there's
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: nothing growing, like if there's if there's no no reason
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: right now that I need to be on all these antibiotics,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: stop them now, I design a release. I'm like, stop,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I'll take full responsibility. Soon as I stopped them, I
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: felt one hundred percent better. But it's like again and
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I was fine, Like I didn't need those. They were
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: making me more sick than better. Yeah, but yeah, I
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: just a lot of people wouldn't do that.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of them they don't a lot
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: of doctors, I find they don't even look at your
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: chart to see what you're allergic to, and they give
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: you medications that counteract with other medications. And it's like,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I told you it's in my chart, I'm allergic, or
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: you know I'm taking this medication, and you know the pharmacists.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Thank God for pharmacists, because they catch it and they're
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: always saying, well, you can't take this if you're on this,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: you know, and I'm like, well, the doctor should have
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: known that. The doctor has the list of medications that
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I'm on.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so it's maddening.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Makes a stressful time even more stressful because now you're
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: worried and they're gonna kill me with the you know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the disease might not kill me, the surgery might not
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: kill me, but you know, them not doing their job
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: or paying attention or yeah, you gotta stress and advoit.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: So with your pajamas, we were kind of getting into
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: a little bit with it. So can you tell or
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: describe to our listeners the difference between your pajamas or
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: a pajama they can buy in the store, like a
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: regular set of pajamas.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm gonna offer two different tops.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: So the first top has access up on the shoulders,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: so if you have ports up high, you can easily
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: stick you know, kind of the tube through the shoulder.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: And then the other shirt top I'm gonna offer is
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: it's gonna have snaps from the all the way from
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the collar all the way down to the cough. So
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: if you need to get dressed by yourself, you can
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: take all of it off, so everything is placid, so
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: there's no metal in the pajamas. So they're safe for radiology,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: so you don't have to get you know, put on
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a gown like they're all safe. They have side openings
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: for any type of you know, ports or ivs coming
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: in from your sides. They have the inner pockets that
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: are aligned so for the drain bulbs, so if you
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: have a radical misectomy, if you have some other type
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: of surgery that has the drains, you can put the
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: bulbs discreetly inside the shirt instead of having them pinned
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: on the outside and like you know struggling and to
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: everyone they're every yeah, exactly, And so there's their line
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: so that if something happens they leak, it's not gonna
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you know, leak everywhere.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: It's gonna stay confined to the pocket.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: And then the the pocket has an inside opening for
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: a heart monitor, so if you want to stick a
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: heart monitor, it still has the access for cords to
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: go through.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: And then the.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Pants I have a the waistline and then you I
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: think you saw where I have openings where they're a cord,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: so on the inside and the outside you can put
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: like pin ostame bags, feeding bags, medicine bags, whatever that
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: you're trying to have to carry around. You can pin
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: those on there and you can pin them on the
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: outside or the inside if you want to need them
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: to be discreeched. And then the pockets in the in
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: the pants have openings as well, so if you have
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: drain drains lower you know, even for elective surgeries, these
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: are great, right, So if you've had a tummy tuck
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: or whatever, they they'll have drains. So those can also
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: go in your pockets, like the pant pockets so discreetly,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: so you don't have to again, don't have those haul
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: hanging out everywhere.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's much needed.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I had one the drain in my groin, and that
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: was so uncomfortable and where they taped it. I just
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: it would have been nice to have pants that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: It's just you could have just stuck the tube in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: the pocket and left the drain.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: In the mirror exactly.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Because I'm I'm allergic to adhesive, like the adhesive and
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the lake text and stuff, and so anytime they take me,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I break out and it's like I have a burn,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: and it's awful. You're already feeling affrrible, like that's just
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: bad to it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: You know, And they always say, oh, it's not latex,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: like you're still break good.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it?
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. Yeah, So that's rough. It's rough on the skin.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: So even if you don't have a latex allergy or
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: adhesive allergy, this is great because I don't have an
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: allergy to it, but I get pretty raw from them
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: putting it on and taking it off putting it on,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: you know. So it's smart for anybody that to have
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: that off their skin, you know.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not good to have it on your skin anyway.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but you know that's what the pajamas would
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: be great for anybody.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, allergy or not.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I think they should sell them in hospitals. That's what
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: you should try to.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: So my goal is so I'll have business to customer right,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: so online, I'll be predominantly online. My goal is to
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: get into at least the hospital boutieks and so people
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: could buy them for people that are staying at the hospital.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Because the goal is right to have the same level
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: of comfort I had for others going through dark journeys.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Because this was a really dark time for me and
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: just having that sense of comfort was huge emotionally, mentally
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: and emotionally, it was huge for me, and so just
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: being able to give that to other people would be
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: is my goal, right, just to have that comfort for
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: other people, and then also just you know, having some
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: wholesale I don't know if I can get hospitals to
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: start buying these, it'll obviously be a lot cheaper, a
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: lot more expensive than what they're paying for the you know,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: nasty hospital gowns, but you know, hopefully there could be
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: a movement. Right The doctors noticed what a difference it
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: was for me, and I think again, being able to
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: dress the mental state and the emotional state of patients
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: is that's treating the whole person, right, I mean our mind.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: We all know the.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Mind is a powerful, powerful thing. And being able to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: look at myself in normal pajamas while I was going
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: through that was huge. Not feeling so clinical with the gown.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: It's just another reminder of where you're at in your situation.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: But by by breaking that and putting on nice pajamas. Also,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of a sensory person, so like having just
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: that nice, comfortable, you know, feel on my skin versus
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: just comfort rough.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it's huge. What's huge for me?
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: I bring my own blankets to me too.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Blankets are horrible? Maybe should start making blankets.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I've already had that request, Like I have a list.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Like that's my goal too, is like developing a community
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: so that people can tell me what they need, right like, hey,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: this is a need we don't we can't find this anywhere.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: We're having to make it ourselves or whatever, and is
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: it something I can produce? Right, So, just being able
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: to have that community help support, you know, self advocacy
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: and then just having feedback of you know, we just
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: we don't have this and this is.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: A need you know.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Today, you know, I met with Children's Mercy here in
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: town in Kansas City, and you know, she was saying,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: from an oncology perspective, they don't have the pockets inside
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the kids have dreams and so
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: trying to look at you know, expanding that you know,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: to offer to help, you know, and you would have
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: thought there's tons of kids stuff out there for you know,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: medically adaptive pajamas and stuff. So to see that that
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: that isn't even being address, it's kind of crazy to me.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and I think it's because they're whoever is
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: designing these things, they don't have a child in their
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: family or somebody going through it, so they.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Don't know or they don't care. They just like pump
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: them out. What's the cheapest way to pump these out?
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: And as you know, probably designing these it costs money.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: It's it's time, a lot of money, a lot of money,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: so that they don't want to spend a lot of money.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: They want to make a profit, you know, and that's
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: what it's going to come down to.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, bringing that up, So when God put this
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: on my heart, it was never about to get wealthy, right,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: like what that was not the goal. So all my
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: net profits of the business will be either reinvested for
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: expanding the lines or given to other five O one
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: three foundations to help them, you know, just expand the
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: touch and then the five oh one C three will
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: also provide you know, charitable and philanthropy aspects to that.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: That's amazing, amazing of you. Yeah, we need more of
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: that in the world.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: We do need a lot more a lot of in
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the world, don't.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: We, Yes, we do.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: And where can our listeners purchase your pajamas, and we
• 41:59
