0:13
Speaker 1: episode of the Latest with Laura Rosa. This is your
0:15
Speaker 1: Delie Dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and
0:19
Speaker 1: all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby. So
0:22
Speaker 1: today we are, first of course, as always, going to
0:27
Speaker 1: check in behind the scenes of the Grind. So let's
0:30
Speaker 1: get on into it. So checking in behind the scenes
0:35
Speaker 1: of the Grind today, how am I feeling? I feel
0:40
Speaker 1: like this is a reoccurring conversation they're feeling I have
0:42
Speaker 1: within myself. I'm feeling like I just need to get
0:46
Speaker 1: more like disciplined. Like honestly, there's been a few things
0:51
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks where I've been trying
0:53
Speaker 1: to figure out is it my discipline and me needed
0:57
Speaker 1: to take accountability for that, or am I like burnt
1:00
Speaker 1: out by certain things? Yesterday, actually, when I got off
1:05
Speaker 1: of work, I sat in my house, and I mean
1:10
Speaker 1: it wasn't dark because it was daytime, so like I
1:11
Speaker 1: got the sunlight, but I sat in my house. I
1:13
Speaker 1: didn't turn on the TV. I put my phone down.
1:15
Speaker 1: I didn't answer phone calls for about an hour, and
1:18
Speaker 1: that's very different for me. I'm like glued to my phone.
1:22
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm always going to miss something, and
1:24
Speaker 1: if I miss something, then I can deliver well at work.
1:26
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm always going to miss a phone
1:28
Speaker 1: call for my mom and my grandmother, and if I
1:30
Speaker 1: miss it, it could be emergency, like for death type
1:32
Speaker 1: of thing like, but I don't know. I was riding
1:36
Speaker 1: in the car yesterday and my grandmother called me to
1:39
Speaker 1: talk through some bill pay information, and I mean, he's
1:43
Speaker 1: not supposed to be talking on the phone while you
1:45
Speaker 1: drive anyway, But I was just so distracted by everything
1:48
Speaker 1: else I was already going through in my mind for
1:52
Speaker 1: some reason, because I told you guys, within the last episode,
1:56
Speaker 1: if you didn't get a chance to take a listen
1:58
Speaker 1: to that, go back and take a listen to the
2:00
Speaker 1: so prior to this one that I've been like really
2:02
Speaker 1: trying to figure out this like anxiety feeling that comes
2:06
Speaker 1: over me sometimes when I feel like I'm not performing
2:09
Speaker 1: the way I think I should be performing, and it
2:11
Speaker 1: trickles down into everything, not just career stuff, but it
2:14
Speaker 1: trickles into my personal life. It trickles into like my relationships,
2:18
Speaker 1: like friends, my man like, it trickles into everything in
2:21
Speaker 1: my opinion. So yesterday, in real time, I saw that happen.
2:25
Speaker 1: She called me and she was just going through things
2:28
Speaker 1: and going through things, and she asked before she started,
2:31
Speaker 1: she was like, can you talk right now? And I
2:32
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm good. I'm just driving home. And
2:36
Speaker 1: before I answered the phone, I was like, should I
2:38
Speaker 1: answer the phone right now? Should I just take the
2:40
Speaker 1: time I know I need? Like I felt it like
2:41
Speaker 1: I felt like I was like at like a breaking point.
2:44
Speaker 1: But I was like, you can't be at a breaking
2:46
Speaker 1: point because nothing happened. Lauren, like, why do you feel
2:48
Speaker 1: like that? So I was like, you're just being dramatic.
2:51
Speaker 1: You're not at a breaking point. You're fine. Answer the phone.
2:54
Speaker 1: So I answer and she's talking to me about, you know,
2:56
Speaker 1: what she needed to talk to me about. And while
2:58
Speaker 1: I'm driving, I'm listening to her, I'm thinking about all
3:00
Speaker 1: this stuff. And sometimes in New York they are like
3:03
Speaker 1: cars that would be like dead stopped in the middle
3:05
Speaker 1: of a lane and you have to like go around them,
3:07
Speaker 1: but they're like right outside of it, like they're double park. Basically,
3:10
Speaker 1: I'm driving and there's a truck double parked in front
3:13
Speaker 1: of the lane that I'm in, and there's another truck
3:15
Speaker 1: on the side of me, and I'm literally looking at
3:17
Speaker 1: the truck, but like my mind didn't say lauring that
3:20
Speaker 1: truck isn't moving. Switch lanes. I literally got right to
3:24
Speaker 1: the point where I was like, oh shoot, and I
3:25
Speaker 1: like went to switch lanes and a truck next to
3:27
Speaker 1: me like was blowing the horn all crazy cause now
3:29
Speaker 1: I'm coming over into their lane. And my grandmother heard
3:33
Speaker 1: the the truck and she was like, are you driving?
3:35
Speaker 1: I was like yes. I was like, my mom, can
3:36
Speaker 1: I just call you back? Like I just need to
3:38
Speaker 1: get home, Just let me call you back. So then
3:40
Speaker 1: she hung up. She called my I have an admin
3:43
Speaker 1: like an assistant that I work with that helps me
3:45
Speaker 1: out just balance everything, and she called her and was like, Hey,
3:48
Speaker 1: I'm calling you to talk about this because she got
3:50
Speaker 1: too much going on. So I went home and I
3:53
Speaker 1: just like sat for a second and I was like,
3:55
Speaker 1: I don't know why I get to the point where
3:57
Speaker 1: I feel like this. So I've been trying to figure
4:00
Speaker 1: out is that, you know, just anxiety that comes with
4:03
Speaker 1: like high pressure stuff and having high pressure on you
4:07
Speaker 1: from things, or am I really putting myself in a
4:11
Speaker 1: position where I'm feeling the pressure because I'm rushing to
4:15
Speaker 1: get everything done because I'm not disciplined or as disciplined
4:18
Speaker 1: as I know I need to be, and I can't
4:20
Speaker 1: really determine it. Some days I can identify clearly, like no,
4:24
Speaker 1: your discipline could be tighter here, here, and here, and
4:26
Speaker 1: that would take a lot of pressure off of you.
4:28
Speaker 1: Other days, I'm like today went smooth, and you still
4:32
Speaker 1: feel like this, Like you still feel like you're missing something.
4:35
Speaker 1: You still feel like every call is about to be
4:37
Speaker 1: a phone call that's going to like end at all.
4:41
Speaker 1: Like it's such a weird feeling, and I've never That's
4:46
Speaker 1: not true. I was going to say, have never experienced this,
4:47
Speaker 1: But I think the last time I was feeling like
4:49
Speaker 1: this was when I was going through that whole transition
4:51
Speaker 1: of like I wasn't at work anymore and I was
4:53
Speaker 1: home at home taking care of my mom. And it
4:56
Speaker 1: was the first time where like there was like a
4:57
Speaker 1: big change, like I never not been at work like
5:02
Speaker 1: I've always been like a very like get up, go
5:06
Speaker 1: to work like always. That was the first time in
5:08
Speaker 1: my life where I was like not doing anything but
5:10
Speaker 1: taking care of my mom and I had to just
5:13
Speaker 1: be okay with that. So I don't know. I'm trying
5:16
Speaker 1: to find the parallels between the two times in my life,
5:18
Speaker 1: and maybe it's changed, but I feel like the change
5:21
Speaker 1: was so clear during that season of my life where
5:24
Speaker 1: my mom needed me to be there and help her
5:26
Speaker 1: through her, you know, medical stuff. In this season of
5:30
Speaker 1: my life, I feel like change is it happened so
5:33
Speaker 1: frequent and so often, and I don't feel it all
5:36
Speaker 1: the time, so I don't know that it's happening like
5:40
Speaker 1: I know, and I feel elevation when it hits me.
5:43
Speaker 1: But like, because I mean, breakfast Club as a vehicle
5:47
Speaker 1: is huge, and this just the the nature of the
5:53
Speaker 1: job and the nature of the career industry that I'm in.
5:55
Speaker 1: Things move so fast. Sometimes I feel like things are
5:59
Speaker 1: coming my way and I'm just like used to staying
6:01
Speaker 1: ready so i don't have to get ready, so I
6:03
Speaker 1: just get through them and I execute it well. I
6:05
Speaker 1: get through it. But I don't want to just get
6:07
Speaker 1: through it like I want to get through it. I
6:08
Speaker 1: want to be able to like really feel it and
6:10
Speaker 1: experience it like I was literally driving the car and
6:14
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the truck, but my mind was so
6:17
Speaker 1: somewhere else that I didn't even think about switching lanes
6:22
Speaker 1: until it was like boom, you got to switch lanes
6:24
Speaker 1: or he about to crash a car. And I think
6:27
Speaker 1: I've experienced that a lot more recently where I'm in
6:30
Speaker 1: the moment, but like, I'm thinking about so many other
6:33
Speaker 1: things because I don't want to mess something up. I
6:35
Speaker 1: don't want to miss something at work. I don't want
6:37
Speaker 1: to miss something in life that it's created this like
6:40
Speaker 1: I'm always in this like frazzled, but I'm making it
6:44
Speaker 1: through when I'm making it look good state, and I'm
6:48
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what is the cause of that
6:50
Speaker 1: for myself and if it's even like a serious enough
6:55
Speaker 1: thing to like, because I've been saying, like, all right,
6:57
Speaker 1: I want to start therapy, and I know they're people
7:00
Speaker 1: help me across the board, but I know people who
7:02
Speaker 1: like take medicine and stuff for like anxiety, So I'm like,
7:05
Speaker 1: oh my god, am I like a person that needs
7:06
Speaker 1: to do that? But I don't feel like that all
7:08
Speaker 1: the time. So I've just been you know, in my mind,
7:12
Speaker 1: I'm like all right, what's the problem, and let's work
7:14
Speaker 1: backward to a solution. I project manage everything. So I've
7:18
Speaker 1: been trying to do that with myself, and it's landed
7:21
Speaker 1: me in a place where, like I came up with
7:22
Speaker 1: a whole plan today for like, you know, to make
7:25
Speaker 1: my life easier as far as like you know, making
7:27
Speaker 1: sure we deliver the episodes to you guys, and other
7:30
Speaker 1: content that I want to build out across social don't
7:33
Speaker 1: really have a full planning place yet for everything outside
7:36
Speaker 1: of work, but I do. I've been working to really
7:39
Speaker 1: build a stronger team and to really run and operate
7:44
Speaker 1: as a business internally, like, so I think that that's
7:48
Speaker 1: going to help me as well. I don't know what
7:50
Speaker 1: I'm feeling. Tailor made it is here with a y'all
7:54
Speaker 1: who you guys know, produces of the podcast. But I
7:57
Speaker 1: really don't know what I'm feeling, but I know I'm
8:00
Speaker 1: I'm the thick of it, hi, y'all. But I think
8:02
Speaker 1: it's overwhelming or overwhelmed feeling, yes.
8:05
Speaker 2: Like and then it is some part of anxiety. Just
8:08
Speaker 2: how you were saying that you are used to just
8:11
Speaker 2: always working, yeah, and then you had to have it.
8:13
Speaker 2: It's changes too like, because I'm going to do the
8:16
Speaker 2: same thing. Always give yourself grace is where I'm trying
8:19
Speaker 2: to learn. And what I was gonna say is, I
8:21
Speaker 2: think also, you probably like to be in control, and
8:25
Speaker 2: that's the same with me though.
8:26
Speaker 1: So I'd like to be in control and I don't
8:28
Speaker 1: like to mess up.
8:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then at the same time to delegate the
8:31
Speaker 2: work and then rely on someone that gives you anxiety
8:33
Speaker 2: too because you want it to be Yeah.
8:35
Speaker 1: And you know what else, yesterday I wanted to do
8:37
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm not going to do it
8:39
Speaker 1: because like now with the platform, everything picks up and
8:42
Speaker 1: I don't really feel like dealing with like people's thoughts
8:45
Speaker 1: about this. I want to figure out what this means
8:47
Speaker 1: for myself first. But talking to you right now, I'm like, no,
8:50
Speaker 1: I think I want to talk about this. I was
8:52
Speaker 1: going to record a vlog yesterday and shout out to
8:55
Speaker 1: Coco Jones her she's been vlogging recently about her experiences
8:59
Speaker 1: of just like getting to the point where she wants
9:01
Speaker 1: to get to her career. And when I first discovered
9:05
Speaker 1: Coco Jones, it was because she would do these vlogs.
9:08
Speaker 1: She was just the girl who had this big Disney
9:10
Speaker 1: career and then it just wasn't a career anymore. And
9:13
Speaker 1: she would do these vlogs about how she was like
9:15
Speaker 1: really going through it. So when I moved to LA,
9:17
Speaker 1: I started blogging about really going through it. And you
9:20
Speaker 1: get platform, and you get you know, a couple of
9:21
Speaker 1: little followers, and you feel like you want to keep
9:23
Speaker 1: things private because you don't want to deal with other
9:25
Speaker 1: people's opinions. And yesterday I was like, I'm gonna set
9:28
Speaker 1: my camera up and just vlog and talk about how
9:29
Speaker 1: I feel because that helps me, it releases me a lot.
9:34
Speaker 1: But then I'm like, oh, that's the whole counter effect
9:37
Speaker 1: though of like once I post it, you got people
9:40
Speaker 1: calling you, people want to talk about it. But I'm like,
9:43
Speaker 1: I've always the man the reason why. Like people always
9:47
Speaker 1: ask me like where my bug for like the entertainment
9:49
Speaker 1: industry came from, or like fashion, or like just the
9:53
Speaker 1: arts in general, And yesterday I realized, like I normally
9:57
Speaker 1: answered that question by saying why I came up in it,
10:00
Speaker 1: Like my mom fashion designer from Forever, then designed our
10:04
Speaker 1: home my family. There's a lot of people who've worked
10:06
Speaker 1: in entertainment in major ways. In my family or sports
10:09
Speaker 1: or whatever. And yesterday I realized, like, yeah, all of
10:12
Speaker 1: that is true, but like my bug has always come
10:15
Speaker 1: from like this has always been able to be my escape.
10:19
Speaker 1: But once I realized I didn't need to escape anymore,
10:22
Speaker 1: that that wasn't a good thing, it became like my
10:25
Speaker 1: like vessel, and I feel like I still feel like
10:29
Speaker 1: I'm using it as a vessel. You know, I'm very vulnerable.
10:31
Speaker 1: I don't mind talking about things at all ever, but
10:35
Speaker 1: I am learning where the protection line is drawn. But
10:39
Speaker 1: yesterday I was like, man, I've gotten away from just
10:43
Speaker 1: even doing that because I'm in the thick of it
10:46
Speaker 1: and I'm just wanting to do well at work and perform.
10:48
Speaker 1: It's not about me right now. It's about the work
10:50
Speaker 1: and put up the point. So this can mean something,
10:53
Speaker 1: But I'm like, but Lauren, that means something too. Like
10:57
Speaker 1: people are It's like, okay, you got the stories and
11:00
Speaker 1: you're breaking news and like you know, people are watching
11:02
Speaker 1: you along this journey. But like there's a lot that
11:05
Speaker 1: like I don't let people know talk about because I
11:10
Speaker 1: sometimes feel like it either has to be more protected
11:12
Speaker 1: or I'm battling with like does not even really matter.
11:15
Speaker 1: And when I yesterday decided to pick up the camera
11:18
Speaker 1: or what was thinking through shuit. I. I was like,
11:21
Speaker 1: this really does matter though, because I just again remember
11:25
Speaker 1: how I felt feeling seeing Coco Jones this time around
11:29
Speaker 1: with all her big platform, big celebrity, big career, just
11:34
Speaker 1: you know, got the fiance about to get married. She
11:36
Speaker 1: has all these things going on where people would be like,
11:39
Speaker 1: I know, you not complaining, and she's still there, Like
11:42
Speaker 1: I understand that, but like, let me tell y'all, at
11:44
Speaker 1: every every level there's a new devil. And that's another
11:47
Speaker 1: thing too. I never want God to hear me and
11:49
Speaker 1: think I'm complaining, yo, I literally literally do.
11:52
Speaker 2: I was coming in today and I was like, I'm
11:56
Speaker 2: not I'm not trying to complain or nothing like that.
11:58
Speaker 2: And I don't want to feel like I'm taking things
12:00
Speaker 2: for granted at all, because I feel like I've been
12:03
Speaker 2: blessed with all the things that came to me. But
12:06
Speaker 2: at the same time, I'm like this, like I try
12:09
Speaker 2: to just go through throughout of like this, Please continue
12:12
Speaker 2: giving me strength, keep me protected from anything that may
12:20
Speaker 2: cause like anxiety, like or just knowing how to give
12:24
Speaker 2: me strength and knowing how to deal with it like
12:25
Speaker 2: this is life at the end of the day, and
12:27
Speaker 2: just give me the guide of just in the faith
12:31
Speaker 2: of myself to like get through it. Like, yes, I've
12:34
Speaker 2: just been trying to talk to myself more and there's.
12:36
Speaker 1: A so yesterday I also that's why, Okay, let me
12:43
Speaker 1: say this first and I'll say the second thing. My
12:45
Speaker 1: thoughts can conflict sometimes. Yesterday I was I pushed our
12:49
Speaker 1: producer meeting that we do the night before the show
12:52
Speaker 1: for the breakfast Club. You always prepare for the Breakfast
12:54
Speaker 1: Club the night before and normally we meet every night
12:57
Speaker 1: at a PM. I pushed that meeting until not yesterday
13:00
Speaker 1: because I was like, I need to like just senter
13:03
Speaker 1: and ground myself a bit. And my I forgot that
13:05
Speaker 1: my church does Bible study every Wednesday, so but I'm
13:08
Speaker 1: subscribed to the YouTube, so I popped up on my phone,
13:10
Speaker 1: so I was like, let me watch this. My pastor
13:13
Speaker 1: yesterday was talking just a lot about like veering away
13:16
Speaker 1: from like how people get what it was that they
13:18
Speaker 1: was like on their knees praying for it, and then
13:20
Speaker 1: you veer away from God and his messaging and just
13:23
Speaker 1: certain things and what you had, like what's for you
13:31
Speaker 1: is for you is a state of saying that a
13:33
Speaker 1: lot of people say, but like you can also fumble
13:37
Speaker 1: it if you're not equipped with the right things, like
13:39
Speaker 1: if you're not leaning into certain things the right way,
13:43
Speaker 1: and like you know, just and my pastor talks so
13:46
Speaker 1: much yesterday about a lot of what we're talking about
13:49
Speaker 1: right now with just like understanding what's happening, knowing what
13:54
Speaker 1: you need to do to fix it, but also realizing
13:56
Speaker 1: that like sometimes it's a bit above you. You you
14:01
Speaker 1: got to kind of just allow the not just allow
14:03
Speaker 1: things to happen. But I don't know he can say
14:08
Speaker 1: better than not God can. I think we shouldn't insert
14:09
Speaker 1: the clip here. This is my pastor is a pastor
14:11
Speaker 1: Jerome Lewis from Caees of Greatness Church in Delaware.
14:17
Speaker 3: Understanding discernment. And we've been talking about people whose life
14:24
Speaker 3: got off track because they didn't desern the will of God.
14:30
Speaker 3: And we talked about quite a few people. We talked
14:32
Speaker 3: about Sansum. You remember that how he was strong and
14:37
Speaker 3: he had a he had a prophecy over his life
14:42
Speaker 3: that he didn't fully fulfill because he allowed himself to
14:48
Speaker 3: start pursuing things that God had warned him about. God
14:53
Speaker 3: will warn us about some things, and then we have
14:58
Speaker 3: to deal with the consequences of our choice. Can you
15:04
Speaker 3: say him into this? We also talked about King Saul,
15:09
Speaker 3: very interesting. He prophesied and spoke prophetically, but he got
15:15
Speaker 3: off track because he was filled up with himself. Sometimes
15:23
Speaker 3: you read the Bible, you can see almost like history
15:25
Speaker 3: is repeating itself. Saul was made king. He was given instruction. Imagine,
15:33
Speaker 3: imagine having Samuel the prophet as your mentor. And this
15:38
Speaker 3: is the young boy whose mother dedicated him to the Lord.
15:41
Speaker 3: And God said, I'm going to do some things in
15:43
Speaker 3: Israel's are going to cause the ears and everybody here
15:45
Speaker 3: at the tingle, he said, God said to Samuel. God said,
15:49
Speaker 3: to Saul's mentor, when you speak, I won't let your
15:52
Speaker 3: words fall to the ground. How would you have how
15:54
Speaker 3: would you like to have somebody like that mentor you?
16:00
Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome. And this dude was given instruction and
16:07
Speaker 3: he did his own thing, build a monument to himself,
16:11
Speaker 3: history repeating itself. And I'll drop that rate there, okay,
16:18
Speaker 3: so listen. And then there was a lot, a lot
16:22
Speaker 3: didn't descern that his level of success came from his association.
16:27
Speaker 3: And when you're around people that have influenced your life
16:30
Speaker 3: and have brought things into your life that would have
16:32
Speaker 3: never come. You don't want to let other people push
16:35
Speaker 3: you away from them.
16:38
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. Shout out to Coco Jones
16:41
Speaker 1: for inspiraling in spiraling. Basically, that's what in spiraling. No,
16:44
Speaker 1: I'm not spirally on. It's not that. It's not that
16:46
Speaker 1: at all. This is a adjustments man.
16:49
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:49
Speaker 2: I don't think people understand how fast paced are are
16:55
Speaker 2: the media is, and this the career of what we're
16:57
Speaker 2: trying to also get out to all you guys.
16:59
Speaker 1: I feel like growing up in life it's fast too,
17:02
Speaker 1: even if you don't work in the media, like getting
17:06
Speaker 1: to that point where it's like you have to make
17:09
Speaker 1: decisions that could like define what the rest of your
17:12
Speaker 1: like month, year, six months look like.
17:15
Speaker 2: I've never been in I've always been in like day
17:18
Speaker 2: to day. Yeah pan now with a one year old,
17:21
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
17:22
Speaker 1: I thought I was like a grown up. Honestly, I
17:25
Speaker 1: will say, like when I was when I was living
17:26
Speaker 1: in LA and I was working in the newsroom and
17:28
Speaker 1: I was doing all these things, I was like, all right,
17:32
Speaker 1: you know, I I'm young, I'm in my career I'm
17:35
Speaker 1: doing well, and I was don't listen, I was doing
17:38
Speaker 1: well up until this point, like that, Yes, I've had
17:44
Speaker 1: really great jobs prior to TMZ. TMZ was, you know,
17:48
Speaker 1: great for what it was great for. But when I
17:51
Speaker 1: remember when I was going to quit, I called Van
17:54
Speaker 1: and he was like, how old are you? And I
17:56
Speaker 1: was like, I think it was thirty two, maybe thirty one,
17:59
Speaker 1: thirty one, and he was like, girl, go yeah, go
18:02
Speaker 1: start your career. And when he said that to me,
18:03
Speaker 1: I'm like, what does he mean? Like I've started my career,
18:06
Speaker 1: like I'm in La, I'm working for TMZ. But now
18:11
Speaker 1: I understand, like I feel like being with Breakfast Club
18:14
Speaker 1: and just doing anything outside of Breakfast Club too, writ
18:16
Speaker 1: like the podcast like the Latest with Lorna Rosa and
18:20
Speaker 1: the Low Riders, like all you guys that are listening.
18:22
Speaker 1: This is like a real commitment as everything in my
18:27
Speaker 1: career has been, but it's different because my name is
18:31
Speaker 1: like if something goes wrong, I have no choice but
18:34
Speaker 1: to take accountability for what I could have possibly done
18:38
Speaker 1: better in that or what I did not recognize in that,
18:41
Speaker 1: even if it was someone else's fault. It's like I
18:43
Speaker 1: am literally the leader and I'm driving my own ship
18:47
Speaker 1: so much, and I thought I was doing it until
18:51
Speaker 1: this era of my career hit and now I'm like, okay, girl,
18:55
Speaker 1: you really doing it now. And I think back about
18:58
Speaker 1: so many other other times like that's so I'm so
19:00
Speaker 1: fired to watch Coco Jones because it's like what she's
19:03
Speaker 1: doing naturally right now is just sharing her story, sharing
19:05
Speaker 1: her behind the scenes. It's driving her music. And I
19:09
Speaker 1: always feel like with Coco, even when she was on
19:11
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, I told her like, I feel like
19:12
Speaker 1: she don't get a lot of what her talent deserves.
19:16
Speaker 1: But I think this is what was missing, like we
19:18
Speaker 1: needed to, like we needed to get connected and get
19:22
Speaker 1: with her, like she's been our girl, Like Coco Jones
19:24
Speaker 1: is our girl. We love her, but like this I
19:26
Speaker 1: think is connecting with her fans and even people that
19:28
Speaker 1: are not her fans even more because people understand what
19:32
Speaker 1: you're going through. So her taking it back to like
19:35
Speaker 1: something she's already experienced and done, it's like I know
19:37
Speaker 1: she's like, God, I see what she was doing. Yeah,
19:39
Speaker 1: cause I'm thinking I look back right now at the
19:42
Speaker 1: time where like literally I was just thrust into certain
19:46
Speaker 1: things and it was like oh, it's all on you now.
19:48
Speaker 1: And I'm like, God, I see what she was doing.
19:49
Speaker 1: Because even though like anybody else would be like spiraling
19:53
Speaker 1: with all of this at once, and I feel like
19:56
Speaker 1: the pressure be on me, I might slip. You know
19:58
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm not perfect when I'm dealing with
20:01
Speaker 1: the pressure or just dealing with wanting to be better
20:03
Speaker 1: or just dealing with not wanting to mess up and
20:05
Speaker 1: messing up and having to learn how to just eat
20:07
Speaker 1: that and be like, yeah, I messed up. But I
20:09
Speaker 1: always can be like God, I see what you did,
20:12
Speaker 1: and like I'm prepared. I was prepared for this, Like
20:15
Speaker 1: I'm not here by chance, and I'm not here without
20:19
Speaker 1: resources or without real foundation because like God, like yeah.
20:24
Speaker 2: You know't make me realize like the things like coming
20:27
Speaker 2: into this media because I met a lot of people
20:31
Speaker 2: I could really only just talk for our careers. Like
20:34
Speaker 2: I met a lot of people in media where they
20:36
Speaker 2: are literally just shooting and see where it lands in
20:40
Speaker 2: a sense, like they know they want to be in
20:42
Speaker 2: this space. But it's a lot of juggling, Like I
20:46
Speaker 2: went from so many positions in this in.
20:51
Speaker 1: This show itself, but like.
20:56
Speaker 2: It's just it's finding your your niche and like knowing
21:00
Speaker 2: what at least for me, Like I definitely found like
21:06
Speaker 2: what I need to be doing now. So yeah, like
21:11
Speaker 2: at first, I just I knew what I like to do,
21:13
Speaker 2: and I'm just doing it for the show. But now
21:16
Speaker 2: like creating my own brand and like having ownership in
21:20
Speaker 2: my own self instead of you know, just delivering for
21:26
Speaker 2: another company, like you're building your own self up.
21:29
Speaker 1: To let's actually take a look at that, Coco Cloak.
21:33
Speaker 4: I never came into this game knowing exactly like what
21:39
Speaker 4: I do. Like I knew I could sing my ass off,
21:41
Speaker 4: like that was pretty clear. That was kind of like
21:44
Speaker 4: the only consistent but like I didn't really have like
21:47
Speaker 4: a thing, you know, I don't. I don't think I
21:50
Speaker 4: really have like a thing personality sure, like relatable, I
21:53
Speaker 4: guess I don't know anyway, I think that is biting
21:58
Speaker 4: me in the ass right now. Like with this album,
22:03
Speaker 4: I feel like the reception that I'm getting out in
22:06
Speaker 4: the world is like confusion. Obviously I get that because
22:09
Speaker 4: in the inner world it's confusions not specifically about like
22:12
Speaker 4: what I stand for, what I'm trying to talk about,
22:14
Speaker 4: things of that nature, but really more like how does
22:17
Speaker 4: it sound.
22:18
Speaker 1: How is it supposed to sound? What is the sound?
22:21
Speaker 4: I'm so drained, actually, I'm so drained of this process
22:24
Speaker 4: of like trying to figure this this shit out because.
22:28
Speaker 5: I just feel like like the thing with me is like, dang,
22:31
Speaker 5: she's almost there. It's like almost clicking, Like what the
22:34
Speaker 5: hell is the almost? And why is there always an almost?
22:37
Speaker 5: How long is there gonna be the almost? I feel
22:39
Speaker 5: like where the final hour of all of this almost shit?
22:42
Speaker 4: It either has to click or it's gonna be over,
22:45
Speaker 4: and like it'll I'll always be like, damn, what could
22:47
Speaker 4: have been that?
22:48
Speaker 1: Ain't shout out the Cocoa Jones for inspiring all of
22:50
Speaker 1: the girl at least in the right way. Impact is
22:52
Speaker 1: like important, and I hope, I mean, I don't know
22:53
Speaker 1: sh you ever hear this episode? But girl, if you
22:56
Speaker 1: do hear it, I want you to know that. Yeah,
22:59
Speaker 1: like we see we see you, we hear you. And
23:01
Speaker 1: I know it's not easy to be vulnerable when you
23:04
Speaker 1: are on platform of any sort, but you literally have
23:09
Speaker 1: made me realize where things sit, what I should be doing,
23:14
Speaker 1: what I should not be afraid to do, and how
23:16
Speaker 1: to go about it. You know, everything in due time,
23:18
Speaker 1: But yeah, y'all, this has been another episode of the
23:21
Speaker 1: Latest with Lorna Rosa, your daily dig on all things
23:24
Speaker 1: pop culture, entertain the news, and all of the conversations

23:32
