Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hello, everyone, it's your girl Cheeky's and you've reached the
voicemail box for Dear Cheeky's. I'm here to give you
advice on anything and everything you need help with. Maybe
you're going through a breakup, maybe you're having issues with
your family, or maybe you need help figuring out how
to balance your checkbook or how to start a business.
What arever the cases I want to hear from you.
Remember these are my thoughts and opinions, and if you're
(00:40):
suffering from an issue or hardship, you should seek help
from a qualified professional. All right, now, go ahead and
leave your question at the sound of the beet.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Hey Cheekys, I hope you're doing well. I freaking adore
you and your whole family the RIVERA. I freaking love, love, love,
love your mother. Your mother has inspired me so much.
Who you don't understand? I even freaking name my dog
Cheekies like my little York Cheekies. But I do have
(01:11):
a relationship question. I'm twenty six, I have been in
a relationship for about ten years. We're going on eleven soon,
and I just feel like he just emotionally isn't fair anymore.
I do try to tell him, like, you know, you
do need help. He doesn't want to go get that
help anytime I do, say, Loko, I want I would
(01:33):
love flowers to show like you appreciate me. All of
a sudden, I get called entitled.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I tell him like I want to go.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
On dayt here and there. Unfortunately, for some reason, I'm entitled,
and I just I just don't know what to do
anymore Cheeky's I'm just like, how much more can I
take of this? You know? And I just wanted to
see what your opinion is like He's totally emotionally unavailable,
like you'll go out with anybody and everybody except for me.
(02:01):
He's the in the world I haven't and still yet
it doesn't want to do anything with me, so too
Medici love you, girlie, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Oh Mama, I love you too. Okay, I'm gonna be
real with you right now, Isa, I'm gonna be real.
I'm gonna be one hundred. This is the feeling that
I'm getting as I'm listening to your question. The feeling
that I get is that he is comfortable, he is
taking you for granted, he is checked out emotionally. And
(02:32):
there was another one and I forgot. But the point
is that in a relationship, that's what we're supposed to do.
We're supposed to communicate. We are constantly evolving, we are changing.
Especially if you guys met you said ten eleven years ago,
you were fifteen sixteen. How old is he? I don't
know his age, but we go through so many changes,
(02:54):
especially when we are leaving our teens into our twenties,
Like we change so much. So I think what is
happening is that he's comfortable. He is taking the relationship
for granted. It's no longer a priority for him, and
it's kind of like, and I don't know if this
(03:14):
sounds harsh, but it's kind of like, well, let me
just have you there because I'm used to you. Lacostumbre
is ma. I think he's just used to you. So
it's kind of like, Okay, I'm gonna do my thing,
I'm gonna go see the world. And he has you
there because you're his comfort to the point where he's
not and he's no longer feeding and making that plant grow.
(03:36):
You are depleted. It seems like of love and that's
what we need, and that's I think, you know it.
You just don't know how to get yourself out of
the situation because probably it's like, oh, he hasn't cheated,
he's not hidden me, he's not this Like yes, but
are you getting what you need out of the relationship.
That's a question that only you can answer if you
(03:57):
ask me. I feel like you're not. I feel like
he's not loving you the way you want to be loved.
He's not taking you out on dates, and you're telling him,
and it's how does he say that you're entitled? Hello,
I'm a woman. I'm a woman that wants to be
conquistad I want to be courted. I want to be romanced.
And it's not just one way. We also as women
have to do our part. It can't just be we
expect the man to bring flowers and all this stuff.
(04:18):
Like maybe try it before you are like okay, forget
this relationship, Maybe you should try that and say, hey,
I'm going to surprise him at work with I don't know,
his favorite treat or his favorite drink or I don't know.
I mean, those are things that we need to do
in a relationship, on both on both ends, in order
to keep that spice that you know, excitement going you know,
(04:41):
but it doesn't feel good, it doesn't feel right. As
I was listening to you, I'm just like you know, Isa,
you know that you're not happy, and you probably just
don't know because you're also just so used to him.
But are your needs as a woman being fulfilled? You
have to ask yourself that I don't know. I'm just
(05:03):
I don't know. I hope he gets his act together
and realizes what he has and maybe it was just
a season and maybe there's something new for both of you,
and that's a harsh reality to face, but you both
have to be honest with each other. Yes, have that conversation, baby. Okay, guys,
(05:25):
So the next question comes from Yennith.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Hi Cheeky's I just want to say that I have
so much love for you and I truly admire your
strength in continuing as an individual through all the adversities,
all the tribulation. You have been so resilient and perseverant
and that is priceless. I mean, Comundia Monte have a
quota says, no matter what diamond goes through, how dirty
(05:51):
gets or the pressure still shines no matter what. But
for me, my question is, you know, since we watched
I love Jenny and you know, cheese and chill everything.
When you first had to move, I remember that was
something that was a little like scary trying to navigate it.
But then at the same time, you like me to happen,
and I'm currenting that thought. I'm super young, I'm twenty,
(06:13):
and I want to move out from home just because
there's a lot of things that I feel that at
home I can't do myself. And that's not to put
like family in a negative light, but it's just you
can't really freely express yourself sometimes in an Hispanic household.
And I just kind of wanted to ask you for
your advice on how to like navigate that situation and
what would be your tips for like somebody moving now
(06:35):
and getting their first apartment. I will have roommates, so
it's going to help alleviate some of the expenses. But yeah,
what's your advice. And I kind of want to start
a podcast. I just kind of want to have some
like tips from you as well. But anyway, that's all
I had. I love you so much, Samla Navraso and
thank you for all you do.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Janet, do you seem like a very wise beyond your
year type of girl. Because you're twenty years old and
I'm like listening to you speak and I'm just like,
okay to me, you feel ready to move out. It's
not going to be as easy as you may think,
but that's okay. That's what's going to help you grow.
I was, I think, what twenty six when I moved
(07:16):
out and I was forced because I did it. I
was so comfortable, but I'm so glad I did because
it helped me like understand the value of money, of
making my own and how I spend it, and I
just learned so much about myself. The good thing is
you're going to have roommates, and I get it. I
get what you're saying as far as like family, and
(07:38):
I think what your soul is saying right now, it's
like saying, I want to grow, I want to expand
I want to widen my horizons. And in order to
do that, you need to step into this like unknown
place that is scary, but that's where you're going to
grow the most, you know, so that you're able to
really flourish and figure out who you really are, you know,
and not necessarily have the ideas or the traditions or
(08:01):
whatever it is. Because our family, we love our family
as Latinos, we're very close, but sometimes what they believe
in and what they think what we should and shouldn't do,
bleeds into us and we're not able to just be
who we are meant to be. So I think that
that's what your soul is asking, and I think that
you should definitely honor that and leave on a good
note with your family and just you know, hopefully they
don't take it personally, but just say this is something
(08:23):
that I want to do. It was very hard for
me when Janica at eighteen wanted to move out. But
now I see her at what twenty six, and she's
doing so well, Like I'm just like, wow, she felt
it in her heart to move out and she did it,
and I admire that. You know, So it wasn't easy,
and your family probably won't take it that well in
the beginning, but if you're a responsible young lady and
(08:45):
you do what you gotta do, they'll be fine with time. Now,
the best advice I can give you as far as
moving out and the good thing, like we said, you're
going to have roommates. It's always just budgeting yourself and
just making sure that you put some money on the
side from every page for a rainy day, for what
if we just don't know what will happen tomorrow, you know,
(09:06):
So taking care of that and just budgeting yourself knowing that, okay,
this is what I need from my rent and I
have X amount of money a month to play with
and be realistic with that so that you don't get
yourself into trouble. Sometimes you're going to have to tell
your friends, hey, I can't go out because you have responsibilities.
Now you have utility bills, now you have rent, you
have to cover you know, you got to feed yourself.
All that stuff is a priority now, So there are
(09:28):
other things you're going to have to stop doing in
order to make sure that your priorities are meant. Okay,
So this is all going to be an adjustment period,
and it's just putting everything on a balance and making
sure that you respect that. You know. But as far
as a podcast, do it, girl, do it. Don't live
with the what if?
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Put it on YouTube. We have social media, like send
it to me, I'll repost it. But do it. I
feel like you have a very nice voice for a podcast,
So I believe in you do it. Our last question
comes from Okay, I hope I'm pronouncing this correctly. See Lally,
(10:08):
see Lally, Let's see.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Hey, Cheeky's my name is it Lally? And I just
wanted to say that I was recently listening to your
dear Cheeky's episode where somebody asked you about painting your
mom in a negative light, and I just wanted to say,
it's amazing how you know, you have so much grace
and so much patience for questions that come up like
that or comments that come up like that, and just
the way that you respond is just so graceful all
(10:31):
the time. And I think a lot of us can
agree with you know, it shouldn't take away from your
human experience and your experience with your mother. Anyways, my
question to you is I recently had a disagreement with
a friend and we talked about it, and you know
it all is good. However, during that talk, she did
mention to me that it was difficult for her to
(10:54):
be my friend or for her to be friends with
somebody like me, just meaning that like she just kind
of wanted more out of where I was at and
my friendship with her and my revettal to that was
kind of you know, I had my own things going,
and you know whatever, we talked it out and you know,
we're friends now, totally okay. Another friend of mine said
(11:17):
that she felt that that friend was completely out of
line and she shouldn't have said something like that, and
she should and people should never say that to their
friends and question their friendship. But I think it's fair
because I think it's just being honest about where you're
at in the relationship and in the friendship. So I
just want to know what you think about that.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
See Lally, I did pronounce it kind of right. You
have a very nice name, by the way. Well, first
of all, thank you so much for showing me grace. Yeah,
I didn't know how people were going to take that answer,
but I just had to be honest, and that's what
I can that's all I can be. If you catch
me on a good day, which is most days, I
(11:58):
think that I'm trying my best to be in a
good mood, especially if I align myself in the morning.
So I just don't let other people. So people have
asked me so many questions and have said so many
bad things about me that I know weren't true that.
I think. I'm just kind of like, ah, maybe in it,
you know, but I think if you were to catch
(12:18):
me on one of those days, ooh girl. But most
of the time, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna stay aligned.
I got to be a good person in the world.
I got to lead by example. I could be. I
get pissed sometimes too. Oh girl. I'm scared of myself
when I'm mad. But anyways, that's a whole other thing.
I just kind of wanted to touch, you know, a
little bit, on what you said in regards to your
question about your friend. I think that it's okay. I
(12:39):
think if you had an open conversation with this friend
and you guys, were honest, and she was able to
tell you that straight up, I think that's good. I
don't think there's anything wrong with the friend saying hey,
I feel like you're not really the friend or being
the friend that I need. And you opened up that
conversation so you were asking, so you got your answer,
(13:00):
So I don't think there's a problem with that. I
don't know how she said it. Again. I always tell
you guys, this, it's all in how we deliver our message.
It's not what you say, is how you say it.
So I don't know if she said in a rude way.
It doesn't sound like she did. But I think that
that's a good friend to have around. Someone that's going
to tell you straight up like hey, I don't agree
with this, or you're hurting my feelings with this, and
they're able to tell you and not talk behind your back.
(13:20):
And then when you come to them like hey, did
you say this, and they're like, oh, no, no, no.
You always want honesty, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
I think that that's a beautiful thing, and that's a
beautiful thing to have in a friendship, is someone that
could tell you hey, this or that or blah blah blah.
So that's my opinion and that's what I think. So
you guys, I just want to say thank you to
everyone because I was having a funky day and just
(13:44):
listening to you guys and tell me all these beautiful things.
It makes me emotional because sometimes we don't realize how
blessed we are, and I think we get so stressed
out with the world and everything that's happening that you're like, oh,
I'm doing something good in the world, you know, So
thank you guys for reminding me I'm getting emotional because
(14:06):
it's I don't know, it's not even my period. I
don't know what the hell's going on, but something in
the air. Because I know I'm not the only one
that's feeling this way. But thank you. Thank you guys
for your questions, and thank you for the beautiful things
that you guys say to me. You remind me I'm
on the right track. It's okay. Ah anyways, you guys,
I just got emotional, right but this is my safe
(14:28):
place and I'm able to do that. So I love
you guys. And if you have a question, anyone that's
listening and you've never like had of the courage, or
you feel a little embarrassed, or I don't know, you
haven't taken that step to leave your question, this is
your sign to do it. Okay, ask me anything. Literally,
you can ask me anything. It can be about my
personal life, literally anything. Leave your question at speakpipe dot com,
