I do have. I have three siblings, guadro So. I
have an older sister, she's forty two, she's in even
she got married like nice, I don't know, like sixteen
years ago, and she moved. And then my older brother
Guardenta and he he lives in Arizona. And then it's
(03:34):
me and then my younger brother. He lives in Mexico
and he's thirty I think, or he's about to turn thirty.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So yeah, the sandwich my sandwich. Uh huh. And are
you guys pretty close despite you know you live, you
guys kind of live far away. Are you guys pretty close?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I feel like we are. It's just that last thing
that's that's those kids, So it's hard sometimes to keep
in touch because they're trying to do everything at once.
So we're as close as we can be. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
So now that we're on this topic of family, I
hear that your dad was adopted.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Correct, Yes, my dad was adopted when he was I
think around ten or eleven. I'm going to go and
Toto lover the world and obviously was like okay whatever.
And then he did. He left the Rao and he
crossed the border because back then nas so he just
(04:29):
like crossed the border. He was living in San Diego
and this American guy that was actually the son of
an english woman that lived that moved from Liverpool, England
to San Diego. She had William Maya Elito, and William
adopted my dad because they met at like work, and
my dad was like I'm over it. I'm going back
(04:51):
home after like three months, was like, no, no, no,
let me adopt you, like I could totally give you
a better life, Like is major, you know, don't go
back to Mexico. My dad just like phoned Milita and
she was like, okay, sure, So that's why I'm Mottersons,
you know, Vieira, that's why I got papers.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh well, thank goodness, thank goodness for rude And how
how how does that did that change anything? Like when
you found that out? Like how did that make you feel?
Did it change with like the dynamic of how you
saw family?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Honestly, it didn't change because to me, it was very normal.
It was the story that everybody would like that everybody knew.
I think what it really made me think was such
a like kind soul, like he went ahead because he
at that time he was single. He never married. He
(05:48):
actually passed around like forty five years old because he
had a yeah, super young, so he never married. His
family was my dad and he adopted my dad. So
to me it was more like wow, this like man
was so kind and had such a kind heart that
(06:09):
just like adopted my dad and had you know, he
was so proud of my dad, and it just really
made me feel like, wow, that's such a beautiful story,
like such a kind hearted person, you know. And it's
crazy because I wasn't born when he was alive, but
I know that he really wanted a third ano and
(06:30):
so I never met him. But when I was seven,
I would have this recurring dream all the time that
this guy in my dreams wanted to play with me,
and I was like, who is this guy? No, no, no, no,
I don't want to. I don't want to. And then
one day my mom got some pictures out and I
saw this guy and I'm like, who is this guy? William?
(06:52):
And every time, like I've had this dream for years
where this guy wants to play with me and it's
this guy, and she was like, he really really wanted
me to have a third baby, but he passed before
I was pregnant, so it's him. So if he comes
back to your dreams and I never had that dream again,
(07:15):
shah never.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, my goodness, do you know what it's probably he's like,
I just want you, I just want you know, you
to know who I am. And yes, yeah, thank you
for William, Thank God for him. Anyone that does that
is just like, that's that's beautiful. I didn't know that
at all. I had heard. I was like, wait, I'm
gonna asked this question, and wow, that's awesome. That's what
(07:37):
a beautiful story. Yeah, now that we're talking about family,
you know, and we're women and we're women in the industry,
do you have you ever felt pressure with having children?
Like and we're Latin. That's another thing too, that it's
kind of like you know, at a certain age and
blah blah blah and x y and z oh.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I think I don't think I've ever felt pressured by
society or by family. I think I felt more pressure
just by my like my clock, my internal clock. I'm like, man,
it's getting late, and like I'm turning thirty seven this year,
and I'm like news last like I would think about it,
(08:16):
but right now I'm like, I don't know. So I
have felt pressure but by myself because I honestly like
I'm very maternal and and yobe like a baby, and
I feel like it's it's like a full time job.
So I think, Okay, I want to be a mom
(08:38):
that's going to be there, that's going to be present,
you know, So I feel like I want to do it,
but I don't know what. And so I'm so I'm
looking into the idea of like doing this whole IVF thing,
but I'm still thinking about it because I'm not dying
to be a mom. But I love kids and don't
says it's something that I'm still I'm allowing myself to
(09:02):
think about it, to see my options and to think
about it and not to feel pressured by society or
any kind of formula. Or when I would play with
my messinas and you know, we're playing at with the
Barbasi that they said, oh yo, And I remember thinking, girl,
(09:24):
you want to get married, like, don't you want to
have a curveer first? And I'm like ten years old, right,
like I wasn't thinking about babies then. So that doesn't
mean I don't want to be a mom, but that
I don't know. I don't know because I also love babies.
I love the idea of learning more from life.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, that we're on the same boat. We're on the
same boat's I love children. I get along with them.
They they come to me, you know, And I love
kids very much. Little I'm kind of in a way
married and to my career right now and having musical
babies like you said, you know, so it's like sometimes
I do feel like, shoot, should I fucking have a kid?
Just because? But I'm like, wait, it's a huge responsibility,
(10:10):
you know what I mean. It's something that's and like
you said, I want to be a mother that's present,
and right now I'm just I'm living my life, you
know what i mean. But it's that eternal, that eternal
clock that it's kind of like I have to decide.
I told myself, I'm giving myself till October of this
year to say, am I going through with IVF and
I'm going full force? Or am I just going to
accept the fact that I might not be able to
(10:30):
have kids because in my in my situation, I haven't
done metriosis, I've had sis in my ovaries, I've gotten
them removed, i haven't been on birth control for two years.
I haven't gotten pregnant, you know, and I've been with
my partner for for over two years and it just
hasn't happened. I'm like, Okay, well look stepunto you know,
but now we do have this of the IVF. But
(10:51):
then I worry about putting all that stuff in my body.
So I'm just like, I'm busy com I'm just praying
about it. I'm giving myself to October. Yeah, I'll get passa.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
No, I get you. But I totally see you being
an awesome well.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I think so to be crazy girl.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You've seen.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You know what I mean, Like, there's a part of
me that I'm like, i'd be such a cool ass
mom that I just want to see what that would be.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know what I meant. Cheekies look like.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I'm gonna I'm gonna send I'm gonna send her him
to to Ta Carlo's house. Oh my goodness. And you've
been married for how long now?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I've been married for two years, bro, and we've been
together for eleven success yeah and kids. Yeah. And he's
my producer, he's my arranger, he's the VAMI leader Osa.
We songwrite together, he produces my stuff, he arranges everything live.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
That's that's a blessing. You know that you guys get
to travel together and everything can.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, honestly, you know, sur Jo man, Like, it's hard.
It's hard because you can be so tired. You can
be you look at me, let mehave is kalis so
he doesn't like my success or my fame or like,
he will tell me the things that I need to
(12:21):
know and he won't like hold back. Like it's it's
like like he's really real, you know. So if I'm
like fucking up or if I'm like whatever, I'm doing wrong,
he's like, babe, Like you know, he's he's not that
kind of person that will get like jealous. Now that
he's like, he's like he gets all the angles, like
(12:45):
like it's me mono. That's really cool, and I feel
like that has really helped. He's just so selfless. Yo.
He accepts me, accepts me the way I am and
says mule. So it's it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, get way, No, that's that's that's great because it
does take a very strong, secure man to be with
a woman like yourself. You're on stage, you have to
give yourself to people, you know what I mean a
lot and for them to understand that, and that's awesome.
That's that's great. That you guys have a beautiful relationship.
(13:32):
Another thing that I love about you. I love a
lot of things about you, but one of the things
that I think is awesome, especially in the position that
you are in that you're very open about mental health,
and that's something that I'm a huge advocate of because
we're Latin, and that's something that at least in my
household was therapy is is oh, something's wrong with you,
(13:55):
or no, you can't be sad, that's for the week,
and it's stuff that just happens. And I think that
it's wonderful that you are so open and talk about
that because I know you've had your struggles as well.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, yeah, no, I think that for me it's important
to talk about mental health and my music and my
concerts and my interviews and wherever I can. Mexico, like
you said, it's it's very it's not I feel like
it's getting better, but it's a very closed minded kind
of view of things. And when I even looked for therapy,
(14:27):
my mom Mari like what do you what do you?
What are you talking about? And I was like, no, Maka,
because I went when I was five years old. I
had a when I was six one let me primito,
So like my mom and my dad adopted kind of adopted,
but like got money to like raise him. So my
(14:54):
my dad was like, we'll take him, don't worry, and
then out of know where this happens. But I understood
this happened to me when I was like nine. It
just like dawn on me with Alsolemini. So I was like, wait,
so just and I'm just that that is anti that
(15:17):
which is something that I have no idea what's happening
at that time, but I knew I wasn't feeling good.
I felt like sick. I was like, I can hear voices,
I can feel my heart pounding, I can hear my thoughts,
like what's going on? I stint sport it. So that's
why I was like, I need to go to therapy.
And so at that moment, obviously it was really hard.
(15:37):
It took me years to really work through it and
to feel safe and I still kind of, you know,
work through it. But I understood that I'm a sensitive person.
Not because of that, but I'm just sensitive, and so
it kind of impacted me even more so. Anxiety has
always been there in my life, so I've always have
to be very very careful with what I put in
(16:00):
my body mentally and like physically, what was it Like
a year and a half ago, I did a treatment
here in La at the ketaminees clinic is some ketemine
infusions and it's like a psychedelic therapy. It's crazy, but
it's outside changed my life, like it changed my life.
(16:21):
I thought. I was like, Okay, I'm not depressed. I'm
just a very nervous person. And then obviously they interview you,
why are you looking for this? And I was just like,
I'm looking for it because I need help and I'm
always having these like awful thoughts like I'm gonna die,
like my husband's going to die, like I go up
(16:42):
asad like it's just crazy. And I was like, but
I'm not depressed. And then they were like, well girl,
you know, depression anxiety are kind of like cousins, So
you might be depressed and you don't know it, but
you are a candidate. Blah blah. So I went for
six sessions for three weeks, two sessions a week, and
it's crazy, girl, but it's amazing, Like I totally recommend it.
(17:05):
There is a before and after in my life ever
since this treatment. Like it's crazy because I feel like
it's a three thing effect. Like the first effect obviously
is you go there and you have a trip, but
it's not like it's not it's in a clinic. I nurses,
I I can think not all the time. So if
you like go shit like batshit crazy, which you're not,
(17:26):
but if like you get freaked out AI and AI,
yeah you but you know the trip that you have,
you see all these things that are so deep in
your soul that or like in your mind that they
just come up and you're like and you see them
and you're like, oh, so this is what I'm dealing with,
you know. And then the the other thing is that
(17:47):
at the end of the day, it's medication, so the
LA it's going to make you feel better. And then
the third thing is that the effect lasts with you
for months, so even in the like in the day
by day you keep realizing things, Okay, it's like kind
of like it slows you down so much so that
(18:07):
all this these weird patterns that we have, you just
start to see them in a whole different way. So
the first six sessions, they have to be six sessions
if they're anxiety or depression, if you're going for those reasons.
But inst after that you can go you go for boosters,
which is like two any like every six months. Every year,
(18:30):
I've been going every six months, so literally in April
I went for my two boosters and I always feel
way better, Like it changes your life. It really helped me,
like deal with my dad's passing, with a lot of
trauma that I had, and a lot of things in
my like like I'm so fucking nervous inside, like I
(18:51):
can have my resting bitch face they throw at me.
I'm like, it's so scared, you know, Like I like
go Chiwawa and the Kennemine infusions really really helped me,
Like they changed my life.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I am definitely going to hit you up about that
because I believe a lot in psychedelics and I've been
wanting to do like what you did, go to a clinic,
and I have a lot of people that I would
like to take that have addictions, that suffer from deep depression,
and I want to try it, you know what I mean.
For sure, I believe in it so much. I believe
in it, girl.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Honestly, it changed my life. Like I always recommend it.
It's not it's pricey, but honestly, it's a great investment.
And there's people that speak Spanish there and they're just
so nice, So it's awesome. Honestly, you'll be in these
trips that I had never thought about that. I was like,
(19:46):
that's still there. Wow, okay, like stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It is really deeply rooted. Yes, yes, we're so sisters, Carla,
I don't care. We're a girl. I'm like, what, like,
I didn't know this, this is awesome, no mind.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And you know what therapist was that He told me, like,
you know, because I also take CBD, and I take
CBD for for during the day or at night to sleep.
And I was starting to feel very guilty. And then
my therapist was like, girl, when you wake up, what
do you do? And I'm like, well, I have coffee
for what you have to get going. It's just like
(20:23):
CEBD is the same, like we do things to feel better.
You're like, oh i'm feeling a little sad, I'm gonna
have a little cheesecake. Oh I'm feeling like this, I'm
gonna have a camel meal tea. He said. CVD is
like really like you don't have to see it as
a Druggisma malo and instead of just doing something, it's
(20:47):
an herb and you just you're taking it because you
want to feel better.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You know, did you move to Paris for your mental
health or how long were you in Paris.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I was in Paris for almost three years is stay.
We moved there because my husband at the time, he
had told me like, oh, I've always had Coomal my
dream of like studying abroad and going to Paris. And
I remember for the longest time, I was like Paris
back in Oh, like it's so far. And then when
I was going through my depression brick, I was burned
(21:21):
out girl, Like I was working like straight up every
single day for like years like yos seven eight years
of my career. I was just fucking working. Like I
had no friends, I had no hobbies, I had nothing, like,
I was just working. And then obviously you know, meet
me ban Dolo, Like I just started to feel very gomal,
(21:42):
just sad, and I remember I started like hearing voices
in my head saying like, you know, maybe it would
be better if he died, Maybe it would be better
if you weren't alive, Like I don't think anybody would
care like gosaske nunka like that. I would never think.
And I remember I was like wait, wait, what, like
what is this? And then I remember like before going
on stage, I was just not feeling it for for
(22:05):
months and months and don husband and you know what,
remember you told me you wanted to move to Paris.
He was like yeah. I was like, let's do it.
And he's like are you sure. I'm like yes, Let's
put everything in a storage like it in China and
he was like, okay, be like let's think about it.
(22:26):
And I'm like bos So we started to do the
visa process and we apply to students honestly, like no,
you know, like normal people do. And and I'm saying
this because a lot of people think that I just
went and I had like hookups because what I do
for a living bit or no, like we just applied
as students. We moved and we applied at a conservatory
(22:48):
in the jazz and we both went to school for
jazz and for French. Yeah, like that was it. And
we put everything on his storage. We just took car
peritos or two guitars or two laptops, se mamos and
we left.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It was awesome because seeing Tokyo when I was over there,
I really got to know myself because you know, a
lot of people didn't know me. I could fall in
my face and nobody was gonna care. The first year,
I was able to keep it a secret, like I
told no one what I used to do for a living.
(23:28):
And it was great, Like I learned a new language.
I learned how to like I knew who I was.
I learned how to cook sabro. I was just myself again,
and and I was just Carla, you know. I feel
like in Mexico, I was always Carla Morrison all the time,
everywhere I wentson and I was never myself. So when
(23:50):
I was in Paris, I was like, this is me.
I remember the first two weeks, I would cry so much.
Bio man. I was really in a dark space and
I had no idea. And right now, so far away
from that, I can see so clear what was wrong.
It was hard, no like like they were don't get
me wrong. Sometimes I was like what the fuck doing embarrassed,
(24:10):
like like the adjust I worked so hard for my
career and now I'm here, like what is mixed? But
it'll be okay, you know what, it will make sense.
It will make sense. Don't worry this goal. And then
we were there for three years and my mental health
man like Mayo Mucho and it's a momento to me.
It was more like I need to get out. I
need to know who I am. I don't know why am.
(24:32):
I don't know if it was a crisis, it'll it
was definitely burnout.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh for sure, I know what that what that feels like.
And I think that was what saved you, you know,
and and ye probably you came back stronger and better
in so many ways. That's why when I had my
burnout in twenty eighteen, I almost hated going on stage.
And if I went on stage, I had to be
drunk and at something where it's like I don't want
I didn't want to use alcohol as a way of numbing,
and that's what I was doing. And it was just
(24:58):
so much pressure, I think during that time, And yeah,
I totally get it. That's why I learned to find
the balance.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I'm like, you guys can overwork me, because if you do,
I'm gonna just push and I'm gonna leave far away
and you can't. You're not gonna be able to find me.
Like I need to have time to do what I
love to do, to be me, to be Janee Cheeky's
can wait a little bit because in order to give
Cheeky my best I have to take care of Janey,
you know. So I totally get that. Is that when
you took your break from social media during that time
(25:25):
when you were in Paris.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yes, there's social media focos. Yeah, I was ready because
I was like, you know. What happened too was that
I was like, you know what, I don't want to
be seeing everybody putting out singles and me feeling like fomo,
you know, like, oh no, I'm not doing it. I know.
And I also felt like, you know, the fans would
write to me and be like god, that where are you?
(25:48):
And I was like, you know what, No, I need
to like just be with myself. I need to become
my best friend because honestly, if I would meet me,
I don't know if I would hang out with me,
So like, I really you need to cut all the
bullshit out yestart mio. And at first, obviously it was
hard is the be release, Like I was like, this
(26:09):
is work and this is not work. And I actually did,
like I created a little como Instagram personami LOOKI and
stadafora like, I wanted to just really experience life. And
that's also when I went Quito because I was like,
I want to heal myself. I want to heal my body.
(26:30):
I want to see what happened. And I lost like
freaking forty pounds and I just everything changed, Like I
feel like it was a detox from like my old life.
That's why I called my album Ra Nacimiento, because I
felt like I was coming back to life in my
own terms and it just felt so liberating. Okay, I
have my life in my hands, and you know, fuck
(26:51):
you all that always doubted a real mucho maiani. Yeah,
you're overweight, you have tattoos, you're very dramatic with your
music or no. It was hard, honestly. At some point
(27:12):
I was like, man, I don't even matter like it.
Don't want bullying girl, It don't bullying or really like
what you think they do. But Mexico girl, I did
like a grandez and I was actually using like a
normal taya. I was I think, like a ten or
twelve that I remember, and people were like gnat, like
(27:36):
you're promoting on healthy standards. Ilogaqui Lae was like at
shows or anything promotion, they'll be like Carlos Thick, She's awesome,
she's beautiful. Honestly, it destroyed me like it destroyed Like
it didn't destroy me, but it really like it made
me feel very insecure and it was really hard for me.
(27:59):
So I was just like, I need to get back
to myself and know who I am and see myself
in the mirror and know why I'm doing this and
why I just sacrifice so much of my life and
my soul and my time and and everything. But I
still I still erra like why am I doing this?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You know?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So I really had to be very como social media
gambare comand came Mia the Scenery Cammaret like this is
for me because my life is at stake.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yes to Wow, that's admirable that that you can share
that that you did that I thought me I took
what three months three months off of social media and
but two years that's that's awesome, you know because look,
social media is great, I mean obviously because you can
connect and it's it's a beautiful way in is like
(28:48):
you you get good people and great people that love you,
and then you get people that are mean, and it
just do you limit now your time on social media
or or no? Or like are you yes, okay, I
think it's next right, I think it's important. I've done
it and it helps me. Sometimes I just take three
days off and I'm like, I don't want to even
look at it, you know, because it's a it's it's
a job in itself as well. How do you feel
(29:11):
about the industry now you think that it's gotten a
little bit better or has Carla gotten better at like,
you know, zoning it out and pushing all that negativity out.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I have a feeling that's both. I feel like I
feel way secure, just more centered, more focused. I know
what I want, I know what affects me, I know
what doesn't affect me. But at the same time, I
feel like almost sisterhood and in the industry, like girls
helping each other out more conversation about what we're missing
(29:46):
is that there's still a lot of work to do.
But I do feel like it's it's both y like,
but it does feel different like this I'm around at
Vivia Latino. Every time I would go to Vivia Latino,
I was just like, oh, it was so stressful, and
(30:06):
this time it felt like summer camp, like yay, like
I had a great time, and I feel like it
was because I've worked so much on myself, I've gotten
to meet so much more people to those almost going
to see though you know, we're all kind of older,
we don't care that much about certain things, so it
just feels like a way better by it. So that
was really nice. It'll see, Luster is always really hard.
(30:31):
And and also as as as mexicanas you know, as latinas,
and it's really hard. And me and d Facy and
there's so many women that are also very machistas, you know,
sun and and they're very hard on us, you know,
and that's something that we need to talk about, you know,
more than.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well. That's where I met you for the first time
when we did the interview for Billboard and we're all
talking about women in industry. I remember I and this
is something that they're Thank goodness, there are a lot
of women now in power, you know, in you know,
on the digital platforms and stuff. But sometimes they're even.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Harder on us. I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
You are in this position and you're representing women and
instead of trying to help us come up, I feel
like they've made it a bit. Not all of them.
I'm not saying all of them you know, I see,
which is for me why it's so important, especially in
my genre, to be like, hey, let me do more
with other women, even if they're bigger than me or
(31:33):
or or not, it doesn't matter. It's let's do things together.
Like I don't want to just talk about it. It's like,
let's do it, you know what I mean, Let's let's
walk the talk sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
And it's a little disappointing by at least as well. No,
I I do understand as well that a lot of
women don't understand this because they just that's all they know.
That's all they've known all their lives, and then suddenly
it becomes clear. So I feel like we've progressed, but
there's still a lot of a lot of work to do,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
One thing that I find very interesting is that you
started your career in English and then transition to Spanish. Correct. Oh, yes,
I forgot about that, Yeah, because I'm like, damn, girl,
that's how did that happen?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Like talk to me. Yeah, I was in Arizona and
I was trying to make music and I've never had
a guitar piano honestly, Like it's at that time, it
was such a small town. There were no music classes
in Arizona Phoenix. I was like, I want to try
and learn. And so I met these people, these friends,
(32:47):
Nikki and Nick and Niki, and we started a band
and I was just kind of like writing in English
and like it was kind of like an alternative band.
And I remember that I felt like I could connect,
but I was like, man, I feel like really not
going to make any difference. Spanols, boys cuamas. There's just
(33:09):
more ways of connecting and making songs. And so I
I remember when I quit the band and I left,
everybody was like, why are you doing this? Like everybody
has the American dream, everybody wants to make it in English. Oh,
I said, I an't going to sell us meals like
you're earning dollars right now. Because at the time I
was working at Macy's and I was like they were
(33:30):
like girl and Mickey go, and I was like, I
don't care. I just want to go. I just want
to see what happens. And as soon as I recorded
a little EP, I put it out and I never
worked again because I was getting calls like, oh get it,
and I was doing all these shows and then I
got a stink on a TV series called and then Exploded,
(33:54):
and like I started to get like, you know, my
career started in Espanol. So it was that's an interesting
decision because a lot of people were like, why are
you going to make it and thistles, it's going to
be harder, and I was like, I just don't connect
with English at the time, like right now, I am
kind of curious, but at the time I was like
I just don't. I don't get it. And so it
(34:16):
was it was an interesting time.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But yeah, oh that's awesome. Though, that's great that you
were like I feel it more. I mean, don't get
me wrong, I love music and English obviously, but it
was okay. I was just an Espanol you know what
I mean. Like it's like I just think it's such
a beautiful language. Obviously I'm Mexican whatever, but I just
I don't know there's certain words or just even even
(34:39):
the word stupidest stupid that like sounds even more passionate, girl,
Like everything in Spanish is passionate. But I did hear
that you you you were singing a song in English
and one of your shows you do that, right? Is
it was it weirdo or am I Trippin'?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It was?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Was it creep creepep?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yes, It's like I love that song. I was like,
oh my god, it's so bad ass. I have to
go to your concert.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I have to. I have to. It's them.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I want to ask you a bunch of questions. Okay,
you know, my little you know, you know, little questions
just to get to know you a little more. It's them,
all right. So what's your favorite holiday?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I think right now it's Thanksgiving because it reminds me
a lot of my dad. You wouldn't get really happy with,

to be balanced on that one because it's like, yeah,

say I'm gonna say it for her. Okay, Now, okay,
(37:12):
do you have a favorite number, oh.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Favorite number. I really never think about numbers, but lately,
now that you're asking, I had a crazy experience with
a medium and I like got to speak with family
members on the other side. It was, it was, it
was very interesting. And ever since that moment, I have
those numbers that is to twenty two. So I don't
(37:39):
have an actual number, but I think eleven eleven is
my favorite number. Can means family members are around and
they're with me and they're taking care of me, like
my angels.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Like, guess you're very divinely connected right now if you're
seeing all those numbers. Every time I see eleven eleven, two, two, three, three,
I'm like, thank you God, you're talking to me my angels.
That are agels with us, that's me. Oh my god,
we're soul sisters.

ice cream and then cookies and then cookies.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
I was like, I just want to ask for something fun,
you know, you know, Okay, Now this one, it's a
little heavier thinking. Obviously, God forbid. If you had to
choose between your hearing or your eyesight, which one would
you choose?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
I know, God forbid, But it's like, I'm curious to
know this.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
I would say, oh, here's meo.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Please base God never, Lord, please never. But I would
keep my hearing. You're hearing, okay, yeah, just.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Because from my hearing, I could probably have kind of both.
But from my eyesight, you know, I wouldn't be able
to ever, you know, listen, so that SAMs okay, if
you listen. I've heard of the stories of people that
have lost comal their eyesight that'll they get around because
(39:41):
they listen, and so they can kind of like get
theirself around and.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
They actually hearing. Yes, I know that's a tough something.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
I know, not.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
It's a profound I was watching this thing on Netflix
and I was thinking, oh my god, it made me
really appreciate and my god, thank you for my five senses,
thank you for my six cents. Like I'm very grateful
because you just never know. And it happened to someone.
I see that, and I was like, and it got
me thinking, and I'm like, they're heavy conversations and it's
just like God, little things like that, just to be
grateful for it, Like sometimes we're so stucking. I this
(40:17):
is happening in our life, but it could always be worse,
you know what I mean. So anyway, that's that, and
let's just, you know, just for the sake of it,
because it was a heavy one. Let's let's let's finish
off with one that's a little bit you know nicer. Okay, Yeah,
what's your favorite song right now?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Oh? My favorite song right now, right right now. Danielle
