  I'm Alexandra. I am Lynn.
• 0:02
  I'm Rose. And this is Sid happens.
• 0:05
  We wanted to just give you a heads up this podcast is all
• 0:08
  for. Fun and entertainment.
• 0:10
  We are sharing our own thoughts and stories, not professional
• 0:14
  advice. So relax, enjoy.
• 0:16
  And don't take us too. Seriously, let's get this
• 0:19
  started. Welcome to.
• 0:20
  Sid happens. What's in your cup today, Lynn?
• 0:23
  Today I have a concoction with mango tangerine juice and water.
• 0:30
  Give my water a little. Bit of flavor.
• 0:32
  And yet today you grace me with some mango tangerine, so it's
• 0:37
  really delicious. Thank you for letting me empty
• 0:40
  out your body. Absolutely.
• 0:41
  And I actually have water in my cup today and it's the season
• 0:47
  everybody's getting allergies and a cold and whatnot.
• 0:50
  So I decided to do a little bit of peppermint tea and some lime
• 0:54
  juice and actually I'm very surprised.
• 0:56
  I am enjoying just sipping on it.
• 0:58
  So that's in my cup today. I like when you do teas or let
• 1:02
  them get cold and then drink them.
• 1:04
  Have you ever had hibiscus tea? Yes, I love hibiscus tea and
• 1:08
  then a little bit of lime juice or lemon juice in there and
• 1:12
  whatever sweetener you prefer. And it's it's supposed to help
• 1:16
  with your blood pressure management.
• 1:18
  OK, good. Tonight, see one of the things.
• 1:21
  Speaking of tea, I love hot green.
• 1:24
  Tea but. Some of the other teas,
• 1:27
  especially flavor for me, I enjoy it more in like cold
• 1:30
  water. So I put it in the cold and just
• 1:31
  put a tea bag in there and just let it steep for a little bit
• 1:34
  and put a little bit of honey or just drink it straight.
• 1:38
  I enjoy it better that way. Maybe it's a Florida, I think
• 1:40
  because it's just hot all the time.
• 1:43
  Yeah, and they actually seem like something on social media
• 1:47
  about cold steeping where you just put your tea bags or your
• 1:51
  loose leaf tea, whatever in cold water and just leave it in the
• 1:56
  refrigerator for 24 hours minimum and it will just release
• 2:02
  it. And especially when it comes to
• 2:03
  green tea, when you have too hot of water or let its tea too
• 2:07
  long, it will be become bitter. Right, that is true.
• 2:11
  You can avoid that because there is no heating.
• 2:14
  Maybe something you guys can try I.
• 2:16
  Know right I definitely will try so thank you for that well as
• 2:19
  we're talking about or topic of the day which I'm sure a lot of
• 2:26
  our audience probably can resonate with we want to tackle
• 2:29
  life 360 app especially now on my phone I've recently reset my
• 2:34
  phone and I've noticed so many apps that I.
• 2:36
  Just don't use. And I make I'm trying to make
• 2:39
  room for my pictures and it's really mostly pictures.
• 2:42
  It transition from a lot of pictures of my dog to now my
• 2:45
  kids, of course, and I'm running out of room.
• 2:47
  So one of the apps that kept popping up is like life 360
• 2:51
  because I have it and thankfully, you know, I have my
• 2:53
  husband on it. I have the family and I have you
• 2:56
  lamb, because you used to make a sit for me.
• 2:59
  And I remember this when you were watching Oliver and you
• 3:04
  were, I think we talked about walking the neighborhood and
• 3:06
  take him outside. And you're like, I have Life 360
• 3:09
  and I'm like, me too. And that instant trust kind of
• 3:12
  thing, you know, kind of made me tickle a little bit because
• 3:16
  prior to all of this whole journey, I know Life 360's been
• 3:19
  around for quite a bit, but it's kind of new ish to me because I
• 3:22
  didn't get it until I had kids. How about you?
• 3:25
  When did you get Life? Yeah, I.
• 3:26
  Think it was we were already married for a while and we were
• 3:31
  stationed in Alabama and one of my coworkers she has a daughter
• 3:36
  that was just started driving I think 1617 years old.
• 3:40
  And she told me that she was so grateful that she had life 360
• 3:45
  because her daughter had a car accident.
• 3:47
  She landed in a ditch and her app notified her that there was
• 3:52
  a collision and she her daughter was unconscious.
• 3:56
  But luckily she tried to call her daughter.
• 3:58
  She didn't pick it up, but she could trace back where her
• 4:01
  daughter was. So she drove to that location
• 4:03
  where a Life 360 said she was. And luckily nothing happened.
• 4:08
  She was just unconscious. She woke up just some bruises,
• 4:12
  nothing broken. But yeah, she came, she came to
• 4:16
  work and told us the story. And I'm like Life 360.
• 4:18
  I've never heard about it. So I immediately downloaded it.
• 4:22
  And I told my husband, hey, there's this app.
• 4:25
  My friend's daughter could have died.
• 4:28
  And luckily she got a notification that there was a
• 4:31
  collision and or there was an impact and she was able to get
• 4:35
  to her daughter and and that, you know, maybe saved her life.
• 4:39
  And so, yeah, that's when we started downloading it.
• 4:43
  And nowadays these kids is so funny.
• 4:45
  And I told you about that, that my daughter, she is 15 and she
• 4:50
  has her entire prime group and they just keep checking on each
• 4:54
  other. And it's just so funny that, you
• 4:56
  know, we downloaded the tool as kind of a way to make sure that
• 5:02
  everybody's safe, not as a control tool, but more.
• 5:05
  Like a safety. And with them, it's more than an
• 5:07
  entertaining tool. Like I saw you were at
• 5:10
  McDonald's. What did you do at McDonald's at
• 5:14
  795? You know and, but they're using
• 5:17
  it. And it's just.
• 5:19
  An entertainment tool for them. Yeah, I remembered in our
• 5:22
  strength circle hubby and I been together for.
• 5:25
  A while and. It was mentioned, I don't recall
• 5:29
  it being Life 360 because I think Apple also has their
• 5:32
  version of it. And I remember thinking, it's
• 5:36
  not an Android thing. I don't have to worry about it,
• 5:38
  right. And then he kept being brought
• 5:40
  up again, like my best friend went to visit and she was like,
• 5:43
  oh, let me see how far away he is with the food.
• 5:46
  And she just got on the app and looked at it.
• 5:48
  And again, you know, I'm noticing those little things,
• 5:50
  but it's not something I've voiced or seemed interested for
• 5:53
  because for the most part, we were to, we've been together.
• 5:56
  I know where he is. He goes to work if he's going
• 5:58
  that we're texting and chatting with with each other.
• 6:01
  I didn't see the need for it. And then now we have kids.
• 6:04
  So that's a whole other, other, other chapter.
• 6:07
  But I am, I am grateful that I have it and I'm so happy to
• 6:11
  hear, especially now as mom, we all have it.
• 6:14
  And I wish my kids were old enough to be like, hey, you need
• 6:17
  life to be 60. Maybe we can have a traffic, we
• 6:20
  have ideas, we can be innovative.
• 6:22
  Let's do an implant. Let me know where you are at
• 6:25
  all. Times can we put it in their
• 6:26
  vitamins? Yeah, it's true.
• 6:29
  Yeah, there's a lot of apps out there.
• 6:32
  My youngest daughter has the Gap phone which is basically a smart
• 6:38
  looking phone that is dumb. You can't more dumb phone.
• 6:42
  Yes, it looks like an iPhone or a smartphone, but all the apps
• 6:47
  that are there are already pre programmed and you can't
• 6:51
  download any app. But it does have a tracking
• 6:53
  device or a tracking app in there, which is not as flawless
• 6:59
  or as smooth as life 360 is. But I think for kids, no matter
• 7:04
  what age they are, it's definitely a good tool to have,
• 7:09
  especially when they start getting, you know, outside
• 7:12
  playing with friends and it gives you Peace of Mind.
• 7:15
  It was good. It gives you Peace of Mind.
• 7:17
  So where they? Are it's very sad, but that's
• 7:21
  just us embracing reality. That's the life we're in right
• 7:24
  now. Because growing up for me, even
• 7:26
  in Haiti, I'm thinking, or even when I was in the States, like I
• 7:29
  don't remember tracking being that big of a deal.
• 7:32
  Maybe it was to my parents and they didn't share it.
• 7:34
  It wasn't something even going to college, it wasn't something
• 7:37
  that all the whole family had to have it like my siblings have to
• 7:40
  be on my parents and so forth. We didn't really use location
• 7:44
  tracking like that. But now it's like apps of an app
• 7:46
  wants to know my location and I'm having to choose not right
• 7:50
  now or and then to Rosie's point, talking about the options
• 7:55
  and then where it's just like while the app is on or never,
• 7:59
  all those like they make it sounds, make it so hard because
• 8:02
  something that should be a simple yes or no and then not
• 8:05
  just no. And it's like, well, then you
• 8:06
  can't use it. I'm getting yourself now.
• 8:08
  But you know, But yes, thank God for life.
• 8:12
  So God bless that person who did Life 360 if you want to sponsor
• 8:16
  us. Please.
• 8:17
  Please do, Please. We want to know where our
• 8:19
  husbands are, where our children are, and our dogs.
• 8:21
  My husband knows like I was about to call you today because
• 8:24
  he went to pick up Diego at 5 and it was almost 7 hadn't
• 8:27
  arrived and this is like a 20 minute trip.
• 8:29
  I knew he was going to go to buy some grocery, but like the
• 8:32
  essentials, milk, bananas, like I was about to call like
• 8:35
  immediately. That's what I think to make sure
• 8:36
  everything will say. I was like oh wait I have like
• 8:38
  360 if I checked OK the vehicle. Is moving.
• 8:41
  I was so hesitant and then we had kids and I'm like, Oh no, I
• 8:44
  need to know where are. You with my.
• 8:46
  Children, I can't be texting you and or calling you just to be
• 8:50
  like, hey, where are you at? I can just pull the album.
• 8:52
  But I you're moving. It's fine.
• 8:54
  That warms my heart. I'm at peace.
• 8:56
  You're at. And it's perfect like I have, so
• 8:59
  my oldest one, she's she just got her drivers permit, right.
• 9:03
  So in about a year she'll be driving.
• 9:06
  And I like the feature that it will notify you if there is an
• 9:10
  impact or anything. Like that?
• 9:12
  Yes. And you don't have to have the
• 9:14
  high, you know, subscription. Tier, yeah.
• 9:16
  That they have I have the free one but.
• 9:19
  Right now, we all have the free version right now and it's OK,
• 9:22
  it's working for us. We would.
• 9:24
  Love to see what are the other features I was going to ask do
• 9:26
  you get like the weekly report? Yes, when I started getting the
• 9:30
  weekly report. What is the Weekly?
• 9:32
  Report Oh, there's. Like a weekly driving report and
• 9:35
  then it's like heartbreak. Look at school.
• 9:38
  Yeah, dangerous. Dangerous drive.
• 9:41
  Or or something excuse. Me.
• 9:43
  You were doing. 90 on a. 55 way. I was like, excuse me, you need
• 9:49
  to calm down. Play with my child.
• 9:53
  Yeah, these heart breaks and stealing.
• 9:55
  It's not working it. Was like on the earth like no
• 9:57
  that's incorrect. I doubted the app it's incorrect
• 10:00
  of. Course there was no glitch or
• 10:02
  nothing, you know I've. Never really seen him driving
• 10:05
  but I was just the I. Yes, you have proof that app
• 10:09
  says it. It must.
• 10:10
  Be true, it traps your speed the.
• 10:12
  Tries did not know I learned something into.
• 10:15
  Funny stories I guess. I took my mom to a Filipino
• 10:20
  bakery that was an in a home bakery in Georgia when we were
• 10:25
  living there. So I told my husband I'm going
• 10:29
  to go get some food because that's what I did with my mom
• 10:33
  and like 30 minutes and, and we went to this Filipino bakery
• 10:37
  house and we're just chatting with that Lady because she was
• 10:40
  Filipino and she had a lot, you know, she.
• 10:42
  Was curious who we are. And we're just started chatting
• 10:45
  and I got a phone call and it was my husband and he was like,
• 10:48
  hey. Where are you?
• 10:50
  And I'm like. Oh I am getting Filipino food
• 10:53
  means like well according to the life. 360 app You're at
• 10:58
  someone's house. And I was like.
• 11:01
  Yeah. The Filipino Baker.
• 11:03
  House. It's somebody's house.
• 11:05
  Yeah, it's somebody's house. And he's like, huh?
• 11:08
  Are you sure? I'm like, I have my mom.
• 11:10
  With me. What do you?
• 11:11
  Think is happening? Here exactly I'm.
• 11:14
  Like. Yes, let me take my mom.
• 11:16
  What is you, my boyfriend? To my lover so that I can
• 11:20
  introduce her to my future, whatever what.
• 11:24
  Size the home and he felt so silly but he kept like.
• 11:29
  You calling me right now? I'm with my mother thinking that
• 11:32
  I'm at my lover's house. But it was cute, though.
• 11:35
  It kind of makes you like, oh, he really can't.
• 11:38
  He can't. He's checking on me.
• 11:41
  To make sure. I'm wandering off with my mom.
• 11:44
  Oh my gosh, probably thinking I got a whole other family.
• 11:47
  Oh yes. Wow, Crazy Braid does things
• 11:50
  like that. I.
• 11:51
  Mean I mean I've. Done those rabbit holes.
• 11:54
  Before, I'm like, I'm sure you went to church.
• 11:56
  It's four hours. And he's.
• 11:58
  Like it's a Pentecostal church. I don't know what that means.
• 12:01
  That is very long. Worship alone is 2 and a.
• 12:03
  Half hours I'm like, OK. That sounds like a Caribbean
• 12:07
  church, yeah. They do that too.
• 12:09
  It's very, it's like a whole day that that sounds like work.
• 12:13
  Adventist too. I dated a guy and I think it was
• 12:16
  Saturday and it ended when it ended.
• 12:19
  Exactly. There was no.
• 12:21
  There was no time. That's like that's.
• 12:23
  What you're talking, it's like, Oh my gosh, it's the Haitian
• 12:25
  church. When I was like, absolutely not.
• 12:27
  That's so sweet. But no thank you, because I'm
• 12:30
  sure they don't have time. The time is a bliss, OK?
• 12:33
  It's whatever you think it is. Though I was gonna say my like
• 12:37
  360 story. I don't remember.
• 12:38
  Yeah, I was just a few months old.
• 12:40
  I don't know where we're going. We're going to some party.
• 12:42
  I think it was the my nieces quinzanero, like the 6:15 and I
• 12:46
  wanted to get my lashes done. I'm a newborn mom, so I'm
• 12:49
  breastfeeding like every two hours.
• 12:51
  I think we had just introduced a bottle.
• 12:53
  But The thing is that the best night for me was, I think it was
• 12:56
  like 8:00 at night that I'm gonna go get my lashes done and
• 12:59
  I go. It's in the same community.
• 13:01
  It was about two blocks down and the latch is done.
• 13:05
  She has a toddler. So he woke up a few times
• 13:08
  because of the night terrors. I ended up being there probably
• 13:10
  from like 8 to like 11/11/30. Those lashes take like 2 hours.
• 13:14
  Yeah, they took time, but there was some interruptions.
• 13:17
  You can't. Look at your.
• 13:17
  Phone. That's right, you can't go my
• 13:20
  phone. I'm getting my lashes done so
• 13:22
  when I'm about to leave I have like 6 mixed calls and I'm like
• 13:27
  what happened? I wasn't like aware or pick up.
• 13:29
  I called him and he's like where are you?
• 13:32
  I'm kidding I was getting my lashes done.
• 13:34
  He's like, live. 360 is. It working, it looks like
• 13:38
  disconnected it. I don't know what happened.
• 13:41
  I thought that it was getting disconnected I think because I
• 13:43
  don't like when it's like allow the app to follow only when I'm
• 13:47
  using. I didn't know that I couldn't do
• 13:49
  that with like 360. He was freaking out because it
• 13:53
  was almost midnight and I had not arrived.
• 13:56
  And then answering my head track.
• 13:58
  He was seriously kind of concerned.
• 14:00
  He's like, I don't know, you're going out.
• 14:01
  Maybe like something happened when you left.
• 14:03
  But then he felt so. Yeah.
• 14:05
  And I was like, well, you have the address.
• 14:07
  It was 2 blocks out and could have kind of just showed up.
• 14:10
  Yeah. Yeah, but.
• 14:12
  Your speech's fine, though. I don't think I have something
• 14:14
  like that for me. I can tell you when we decided
• 14:17
  to get it and I think hubby had like a boys night, right?
• 14:21
  And boys night tends to be till 11, midnight kind of thing and I
• 14:26
  just had him worry his probably 6-7.
• 14:28
  Months I don't even remember. I can't sleep until he's home,
• 14:31
  but I can doze off, but I'm always wearing black.
• 14:34
  When you're OK, you know you're fine.
• 14:35
  And I've become this crazy and I've all the scenarios playing
• 14:38
  in my mind and then when you get home, I was like, I cannot do
• 14:41
  this because then I don't want to be the annoying wife texting
• 14:44
  all that because I'm like, I know who he's with and I know he
• 14:47
  needs it. I'm trying to be supportive, but
• 14:49
  we also have a toddler that's I'm also breastfeeding.
• 14:51
  There was a lot going on. Yes.
• 14:53
  I'm like, do you know how easy it would be?
• 14:54
  I would just look at my phone, be like, he's fine, he's not
• 14:56
  moving, he's with his friends, goodnight.
• 14:58
  And that's when we decided to get it.
• 14:59
  And I'm like, you know, I'm very thankful for it because even
• 15:03
  coming back from work sometimes if he's late, like he's getting
• 15:06
  gas or something, I don't have to worry about it because I can
• 15:08
  be like. He's that fast.
• 15:09
  Yeah, and I don't think, I don't see it as like spying or making
• 15:13
  sure he's fine. It's that not only you and my
• 15:15
  husband, your father, like I'm concerned now.
• 15:18
  I need to know this so that that anxiety or that third mind of
• 15:23
  mine that goes down the rabbit hole can be at peace, if that
• 15:27
  makes sense. So I am all for it.
• 15:29
  I'm glad we did it. But I've heard stories for sure
• 15:33
  of like the tracking and you know, it's I'm just like, you
• 15:38
  got to be crazy about you can't get it.
• 15:39
  No, yeah, you can't get it. Not a good thing.
• 15:42
  But yeah, I was going to say I actually got it before we had
• 15:46
  children because my husband would drive Uber in Vegas at
• 15:50
  night. And then there's all these
• 15:52
  stories about people getting assaulted, stolen cars, even
• 15:58
  worse, right? So I would do what you were
• 16:00
  doing. Like I would wake up at 2:00 in
• 16:01
  the morning, like, wait, I don't know.
• 16:03
  And I would call him, are you OK?
• 16:05
  And then I discovered like 360 and as long as I saw the car
• 16:08
  moving like even though it could be somebody else moving the.
• 16:11
  Car he's. Fine, Yeah, calm down.
• 16:15
  Yeah, it should be home soon. Yeah, but that's why I got it,
• 16:18
  because of the worry. But the same thing, like I'm not
• 16:20
  checking him all the time. Where are you?
• 16:22
  That would be insane. Yeah, I know.
• 16:23
  That's why I'm like, we'll see. For us, we waited.
• 16:25
  But I'll tell you, with everything going on in Haiti
• 16:29
  right now, right with all of that, I wish I knew about Life
• 16:33
  360 before my mom went back. Unless she calls me or send me a

  message, she's OK. Maybe it's good or bad, I don't
• 16:40
  know. But I remember one time I got
• 16:42
  the news, like something was happening and everybody was just
• 16:45
  running, right? I'm calling her.
• 16:46
  She's not picking up. And I'm like, it would have been
• 16:48
  so helpful to just have Life 360 because of course she's older.
• 16:52
  I'm trying to explain to my mother who's in Haiti.
• 16:55
  Through WhatsApp by the way. How to download the Life 360 and
• 16:59
  sign up? It's not clicking, it's not
• 17:02
  happening. I had to let that go.
• 17:04
  But I remember in that instance being like.
• 17:06
  It would have been great to have because I never thought that.
• 17:09
  She could have. It Oh yeah, never occurred to.
• 17:11
  Me on work. It's like a whole new country.
• 17:13
  Up here you're attracting me in Germany I because.
• 17:16
  I have my mom over there in Puerto Rico and I worry about
• 17:19
  it. As we wrap this up.
• 17:23
  Life 360. Can be a powerful tool when it's
• 17:26
  used with the right intention. It's not about control or
• 17:29
  constantly checking up on people.
• 17:31
  It's about safety, awareness and that extra layer of Peace of
• 17:35
  Mind. Especially for families like
• 17:37
  ours. The fact that it works
• 17:38
  internationally just adds to its value.
• 17:41
  Whether you're traveling, managing busy schedules, or just
• 17:44
  wanting to stay connected across distances.
• 17:47
  But let's be real, if you know you don't have the self-control
• 17:49
  and it might turn into monitoring or overstepping, it's
• 17:52
  probably not for you. Trust still has to be the
• 17:55
  foundation. Use the right way though.
• 17:57
  It can bring a sense of calm. You didn't realize you need it.
• 18:00
  And honestly, in today's world, that Peace of Mind is priceless.
