Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is Conversationous with Olivia Jade in my Heart Radio podcast.
Hi everybody, it's Olivia Jade. Welcome back to another episode
of Conversations today. I'm really excited because I have a
very special guest. She is pretty incredible. She've turned her
passion for beauty, wellness and no sensor advice into one
of the most distinctive online blogs today called The Skinny Confidential.

(00:26):
I want you guys to hear the rest from her,
so please welcome Lauren Everett's Boston. I have miss Lauren
here from the Skinny Confidential. Thank you so much for
joining us. Thank you for having me absolutely. Do you
want to give the viewers or the listeners a little
background as to who you are? Yeah, I'm Lauren Bostic.

(00:50):
I am the creator of a Skinny Confidential. Like Olivia said,
I started the blog about thirteen years ago, and then
about six years ago we launched a podcast and its
out eight times a month and it's been just like
incredible to engage with the audience and have all different
kinds of people on. And then recently we launched a
product line which is next to me, the ice Roller,

(01:12):
which is going to deep uff the as out of
your face and so we're just continuing to build brand
and and now it's become this incredible community that's kind
of everywhere, a lot of women, a lot of millennial women.
I love that. How did you have you always been
into like health and wellness? And is that why you

(01:34):
wanted to start? Because you started as a blog? Right? Yes?
I started as a blog and I started because this
is like thirteen years ago. So when bloggers were first starting,
I saw all of these bloggers blogging about like what
neil polished color they were wearing, or what they were wearing,
like their outfits, and I thought, Okay, how can I
do this? But how can I do it by bringing

(01:56):
other people's opinions on. I didn't just want it to
be at the time, I was Lauren Everett's before I
married my husband, and I didn't just want it to
be about me. I wanted to talk to different kinds
of people supermodels, celebrities, YouTube stars like but also the
everyday girl and get everyone's tips and tricks in one
place and sort of make it like a resource. Um.

(02:19):
So so that's how the blog kind of launched. I
also could not afford to be an authority. At the time,
I was like struggling in college, like bartending, and just
it was eight semester, and so I was like, how
can I create this online? Um? So that's sort of
what it launched off of it. It was very health
and wellness based at first, and now it's kind of
expanded into a beauty morning routine and also still like

(02:42):
lifting all different kinds of people up. Yeah, are you
self taught in this space or have Did you go
when you were in college? Did you go to school
for the genre of like health and wellness? I hated college.
I know it's a huge unpopular opinion. I wish I
didn't go. I think it was a huge waste of time,
and I honestly can't remember one thing I learned. I

(03:05):
I learned the most, weirdly enough, bartending because I was
able to learn about how to fitness, energy and talk
to all different kind of people while multitasking and while
I was bargaining, I was building my business, and I
just with school. What I've realized for me is I
wasn't attracted to school because I'm an entrepreneur at heart.

(03:26):
I've been one since I was little, and there wasn't
like a class at my school that that zoned into
that and I and I think that that I always
like to beat to the tune of my own drama,
not be told what to do, and the parameters of
school just didn't work for me. So um, I I
you can say it's self taught, but like my my

(03:47):
husband's very entrepreneurial, everyone I surround myself very entrepreneurial. I'm
a huge reader and consumer a podcast and an audible
and all the things. So I definitely like taught myself
through different avenues other than school. For sure. I feel
like a lot of people when they see people with
a successful blog or YouTube channel or something that I

(04:09):
get questions a lot of the time was like, how
did you get people to start listening or to watch
or to read, and at what point? And how consistent
did you have to be? And just like any advice
to if somebody has an aspiration that's listening to be
a blogger, or if I always told people like when
I did YouTube, it was just about consistency at least
on that platform. Is there something in your world, and

(04:31):
especially in the blogging world, that you know keeps you
on top and has kept you so successful throughout the years,
I think there's for me, there's been no like epiphany
where I went viral. It's definitely been steady growth. But
it's it's I think of it like baking a cake.
Like the discipline, like you said, is the flower, and
then the sugar is like the consistency, and then like

(04:55):
you have the baking soda, which is like you know,
making sure that you're being business abby and having your
books in order, and then you know you have other elements,
and those other elements, I think a big one is execution.
I see a lot of people talking about ideas and
how they want to be this and they want to
be that, But at the end of the day, like
the main ingredient to it, in my opinion, is execution

(05:18):
and and that that's the people have all these like
lofty goals that you have to set systems to get
to the goals. So say you say you want to
start out blogging. So when I started, I was like,
I'm gonna blog seven days a week and I'm gonna
do it at four o'clock every single day, a post
is gonna go live. So the system was like I
would come back from school at two pm. I would

(05:40):
shoot pictures. Three o'clock. I would start prepping the blog post.
Four o'clock, it would go live five o'clock. Was like, okay,
now it's time to distribute the content. And I just
did that every single day, rinse and repeat. And with
the rinse and repeat and the consistency, like you said,
with the execution, I think really worked. I all so

(06:00):
think that that you've got to be honest with yourself
of what your talent is and what platform that should
be on. So for me, I am an oversharer on
our podcast, Like that's what you're gonna get from me.
So a podcast is a very good outlet for me.
If you're someone who likes to if you're a model,
you should go to Instagram. If you're super funny in

(06:22):
little bits, you should go to TikTok. Like you have
to figure out which platform is going to serve who
you are. I think where people get get it messed
up as they try to do everything and they try
to do platforms that aren't authentic. Don't launch a podcast
if you're if you are used to like leading with
the way you're dressed or your beauty, don't don't launch

(06:45):
an Instagram account. If you are better on a mic
at home in your bed. Right. That's a really really
good point, and I think something that a lot of
people definitely get a little mixed up on because when
you are starting out and when you have these dreams
to be some in the space of social media, you
I think you throw yourself on every single platform possible
and just to see what takes off. And that can

(07:05):
obviously be really tricky and really upsetting when it if
it doesn't work. So I completely agree with that, what's
one thing that you think you've learned, Like, if you
have one thing, I think for mine, I would be
like for my YouTube would just be um patients and
to not read into too much of like what my
commenters say, Do you have like one thing you've taken

(07:27):
away from blogging, because I'm so curious by it, because
it's such a different platform than anything I've ever been on.
I would say that you can't read your own press clippings.
And what I mean by this is like good or
bad what you just said. If you start reading all
this good thing, these good things about yourself, you start
getting an ego. And you don't want to get an ego,

(07:47):
because if you're playing a long game. You you want
to be able to to to not get to ahead
of yourself, and if you're reading all these negative comments,
it's a waste of energy. So having having the capacity
to just create the content, distribute the content, being able
to separate and walk away, I think is super important.

(08:07):
And then this one has been interesting. So when I
first started, I said yes to everything. I was like,
yes to seventh grade book report that someone would email
me to ask. I said yes, yes, yes. But there
gets to a point where what made you sort of
successful stops working and you have to pivot. And so
now I'm at a space where it's like I only

(08:28):
say yes to things that I want to say yes
to and that are in my opinion, like worth the time,
and that could be anything from I mean, I still
love like in the morning for thirty minutes, going through
and engaging in d m s. That's really important to me.
So I think you just have to pick like what's
important to you and not fill your calendar up. People

(08:50):
think that you're successful by how full your calendar is,
and what I've realized what makes me most successful is
how blank it is, because then I'm able to create. Um,
it's it's it's as you grow, it's it's it's better
to have less than more. Yeah, that's a really good point.
And then after the blog you switch to or not switch,

(09:11):
But when did you kind of like start to focus
on Instagram Because obviously your Instagram has over a hundred
thousand followers, and I see that you do like morning
routines and you're really keeping people up to date with
like health and wellness tips and then also promoting your
brand on there now, And it's what's the importance of
that to you? And do you see that platform as
maybe a better space to reach a larger audience. So

(09:34):
we have the product line at the Skinny Confidential and
that's the product and then I have at Lare in Boston,
which is my personal and I really try to make
sure that um that I'm always serving the audience tangible takeaways.
So if I'm posting anything, there has to be a reason.

(09:54):
I do not like wasting people's time. And I think
with our podcast, we've done like the same thing, like
the how we put the audience first. It's not like,
you know, me posting like the sexy photo of myself
with like a heart underneath it, like that's not that's
not enough for my audience. They want hacks, they want tips,
they want to resource, they want to learn. Um And

(10:16):
I also think, like, how how much can I talk
about myself? Right? At some point there has to be
other people that you're bringing up. I think Oprah is
an incredible example of that, Like she always was bringing
up people Dr Phil, dr Oz. She put these people
on the map. So I think with our podcast, it's like,
how can we help other people sort of shine and

(10:38):
put them in the spotlight and get their tips and
tricks and hacks to our audience too. I don't want
it to just be like the Lauren Bostick show. That's
that's just boring to me. Um and listen. Maybe a
picture that's sexy with like an emoji works for so
many people, but for me and my audience, that doesn't work.
It has to be something tangible, valuable. Yeah, you have

(10:58):
to know what works for your democra topic for sure.
Because I also feel like I agree with you in
that sense of when I wanted to do this podcast,
I was like, it definitely has to be some sort
of interview format because after one or two episodes, people
are gonna be like why does she keep talking about
her life and what she does? And that's why I
love having people on like youth, somebody that has a
completely different perspective or platform or whatever it is and

(11:21):
can give such good advice um to the listeners, which
I think is really important as well. Yeah, and I'm
sure people do you probably like definitely want to hear
from new solo as well, Like your YouTube is amazing,
like you can you can sprinkle in the solo, absolutely,
But I think just bringing up more dimension to the
content is really important, especially with podcasting. Yeah, okay, this

(12:00):
is one of my favorite questions to ask people. What
is like, what does a day in your life look
like from morning tonight? Oh my god, I have a
very serious morning routine. So I am currently like so pregnant.
I'm about to give birth right now, so like like
so pregnant, like could give birth on this interview. So

(12:21):
oh my god, congrats, thank you. It's very uncomfortable right now,
but I'm like waddling through it. Um. My day in
my life is I wake up at seven o'clock. Um,
and I have like non negotiables in the morning that
I have to do to be a human. My husband
is completely opposite. He hops out of bed. I have
to get light, so immediately I open all the shades,

(12:44):
and I have to have a hydration like CHLOROTHI lemon water,
like whatever I can get my hands on to like
sex up the water. And then I love to make
the bed because I feel like having a space that's
clean and super important for creativity. Sure you can relate
to that. And then meditation has changed my life, which

(13:06):
is so l a to say, but it really has
changed my life. I meditate every morning, um for like
twenty five minutes, and it's made me more effective, more sane,
not psychotic to my husband, like just less reactive in general.
And I think like we're really missing the part of
ourselves to be introspective. So that's really important for me

(13:29):
to fit that in. And then I have to get
some kind of movement. And I am not the type
of person that wakes up and is like checking my email.
I don't touch my phone for two hours. In fact,
it grosses me out. I don't even want to look
at it, like I'm on my phone all the time.
It's like, get away from me. So the only time
I touched my phone in the morning is to listen
to a podcast or a book on tape, like I can't.

(13:50):
I can't look at Instagram. I don't want to look
at anything. Um. And then probably around like nine thirty
or ten, I get into my day. I have a
two year old, so like that's also in there as
well us And it's just it's it's you know, as
a content creator, it's anything from like doing interviews like this.

(14:11):
For me with the product line, it's constant like text message,
slack decisions, calls, interviews like today we have three podcast interviews,
so it's a lot of interviews. Um. And then on
I like to batch and I'm sure that you probably
do this to Like instead of filming like three days

(14:32):
a week, I'll batch it all onto Fridays so I'm
able to get my makeup done and my hair done
and like batch everything at once, so like any reels
or or youtube' or TikTok like whatever I'm filming, like
I can just do in one day. And then another
thing I do that I think is really helpful is
I do all my conference calls on one day, so
instead of making my whole week going in and out

(14:55):
of calls and my brain is distracted I have all
the calls on Wednesday, so I know, like why Thdnesday
is the day that I'm going to get all these
calls done. So a lot of my time is very
batched like that, Like Monday will be like writing time,
Tuesday and Thursday will be like interviews. Like I really
am strategic with how the calendar's laid out. And that's

(15:16):
helped a lot, because it's hard, as you know, to
go from like filming a YouTube video to doing a
podcast interview too, to getting on a conference called fully,
it's just your brain gets all messed up. So that's
really helped. And then I get done with work probably
like six o'clock, I'm with my daughter and um, cook dinner.

(15:37):
I am in bed so early. It's embarrassing right now
because I'm so pregnant. Um, but like my wine down
is similar my nighttime or my nighttime rotune is like
very similar to my morning. It's like I have like
red light and like like salt rock lamp and like grounding.
It's very like it's very relaxing. Um, just because our job,

(16:00):
I'm sure you can relate to this is so chaotic.
I need like those bookends of the day to like decompress. Yeah.
I think also so many people do and don't even
realize it, Like those little moments you take for yourself
to really just like have a zen moment. I think
it's crucial for your mental health, at least in my experience.
But I do want to go back a little bit
because you talk about meditation and how you got really

(16:23):
into it, and I'm so fascinated by meditating and I
feel like it's one of those things that would probably
really help me at this point in my life. And
I still have not done it, and I don't know
where to start, and I'm just curious as to like
how you got into it. And I'm sure other people
listening also feel the same. Okay, So the thing about
it is when you say meditate, it's like kind of

(16:45):
like off putting because it's like, oh, that's so cliche.
And I was like, I had so many successful people
on the podcast telling me to meditate, and finally Melissa
would Health came on and she was like love her.
She's like, Lauren, like, you got to meditate. This is
what I've realized. When you are so angry and so upset,

(17:05):
you need to double your meditation, like not people are like,
I'm so busy, I'm so upset. I'm like, now you
need to go. You need to take it from twenty
minutes to forty minutes, like it is such a tool
in the toolbox. What I would tell you is to
start out with five minutes. I started with Melissa would
house meditation for five minutes a day, and then I

(17:26):
moved to ten, and then I moved to fifteen, and
then I moved to twenty and now goes by like that.
And here's what I've realized. All of our problems come
And this is not a quote that I said. This
is like Bondhi or something from Aby to sit with ourselves.
We the inability to sit quiet with ourselves is where

(17:47):
all our problems stem from. If you can sit quiet
with yourself, so many things will happen. First of all,
your confidence will soar because you're not looking for any
outside validation. You You're so comfortable with being with yourself
and being quiet with yourself that you're not looking outward
for your boyfriend to tell you're hot, or for Instagram

(18:08):
followers to tell you this. You're just content. And for me,
like being introspective and looking inward and just being quiet
for twenty minutes a day has allowed me to have
more clarity in my business and my relationship. It is
out of every tool and I've tried. I've tried everything.
I've cold plunged on it, like you name it, I've tried.

(18:28):
It is the most powerful important tool of my day.
And I honestly think it's made me so much less reactive.
So if someone says something I don't like, I'm able
to to to just be less. I'm also more proactive
as opposed to reactive, so like I work on my business,

(18:51):
not in my business like it's it's just such an
incredible tool and it's at our fingertips and we can
do it any time. But the problem is we're so
addicted to the own that it's like to put that
away is so hard, but once you start doing it,
my recommendation is noise canceling headphones. I have the boys ones.
It's like b O S E and they're white. They're

(19:13):
so cute, like a crystal eyemask, a barefoot Dreams blanket.
Literally just sit there for twenty minutes. Just try it
to start with ten and just be quiet and be
in your head. It's amazing. So my last question on
meditation and then we can move on from this topic.
When you have the headphones in, you're listening to somebody,

(19:34):
be like breathe and breathe out, or it's just silence
just to like cancel out whatsever around you. Listen. What
is sound Bowls, which is really nice. She has a
soundbole one and then she has ones that help you
just breathe, or she has things that are like affirmations
like saying like I'm I, I love myself where I
am right now. It's just very relaxing. I like hers

(19:56):
and if you're like ready to take it to the
next level, Joe dispends a UM is absolutely incredible, and
his theory is that you should be meditating on the
future every single day because if you're not meditating in
the future, you're living in the past. So like say
you want to launch uh, you know, multimillion dollar company

(20:18):
and you want to say you want to get it
in Walmart, you would meditate on every single day. So
what it does is it puts this frequency out and
this this is like science and I'm not making this up.
Puts a frequency out for you to get what you want.
Say you say you want to lose ten pounds, or say,
say you want to meet the man or the girl

(20:38):
of your dreams, like you would be meditating on what
that future looks like, and you would do like a month,
two months, three months, six months, six years. I mean
there's you if you google Joe to Spends the testimonials,
there's people that have built their entire lives and businesses
and created their future through meditating for twenty minutes a day.
It's like, it's very wild what you can do when

(21:00):
you just sit in silence and think I can't recommend
it enough. Okay, I'm definitely going to look into, first
of all, who you're talking about, and also meditating in general,
because I feel like also most people I talked to
that meditate or practice meditation in any capacity are super wise,
Like you come across really wise to me. Anybody else

(21:22):
that I talked to that like seriously meditates also very
wise and just like grounded, And I think I could
use a little bit of both those things. Um. But
speaking of also dream men or women, you work with
your husband. Do you like working with your husband? How
did that come about? Did you you had your blog

(21:43):
before you met him? I'm assuming so I met him.
I was twelve years old, So yes, I met him
twelve thirteen fourteen. We like dated in quotes, we broke
up and then got back together after college and um
he actually he owns Deer Media, so he has Dear Media,

(22:04):
which is a separate business from The Skinny Confidential. So
a lot of people think we worked together, don't podcast together,
but I say, like, podcasting is going to dinner on
a double date with your significant other without alcohol. Like
it's not. It's not you know what I mean. It's
not like we're working together. It's it's more like we're

(22:26):
entertaining together. So we we that's really the only thing
we work on together. He's very entrepreneurial, so he's definitely
given me a lot of advice. But his business is
Dear Media. Mine is The Skinny Confidential. If I worked
with him day in and day out, I think I
would die. I advise to anyone who's working together, is

(22:46):
it's challenging. It's it's it's challenging, it's rewarding, but you
have to set boundaries. Like last night, he was talking
to me about work at nine thirty at night and
I was like, no, no more it's we're done with this, okay.

(23:15):
So we've covered obviously blog talk to Instagram a little bit.
What is the podcast primarily about? Do you interview people?
Because I know you were talking about how you don't
like to make it all about yourself when you guys
sit down together to do those recordings. Are there are
other guests that you bring on every episode or is
it just dependent on like the week. Our podcast we've

(23:37):
had it for the last six years. We decided to
launch it six years ago when we were in Cabo
drunk off Margarita's And the podcast does have solo episodes,
but there's a lot of different guests. So we've had
everyone on from like someone who was human trafficked by
their mother to like sport, like we went to the
Bunny ranch and interviewed the head bunny there about prostitution.

(24:01):
But we've also had on like Caitlyn Jenner and Jessica
Alba and like Harry Dusey. Like it's very it's like
very much like a checks mix that you kind of
never know what you're gonna get. But then like yesterday
we had on this the like the top scientists who
like works at Stanford on morning routine. So you also,
it's going to get like your it's like an onion,

(24:22):
you're just peeling it. Um. The podcast, though, what we
try to do is we always put the audience first.
It's not about the guest, and we always create a
space that's non judgmental. So someone who's coming in to
be interviewed by us, it's a very much like neutral space.

(24:43):
So I'll give you an example. I told I told
Michael the other day, I'm like, I would interview someone
who murdered someone in jail, not because I agree with that,
but because we're a media platform that I think hearing
all different sides is important. We don't of like an
agenda or like a political agenda. It's very much like

(25:04):
all different walks of life. Let's hear their background in
their perspective. Um. So it's it's kind of like everything,
you never know what you're gonna get, I would say
with the podcast. Yeah. Also, I feel like that's kind
of the best way to do it too, because it's
a form of entertainment and you do have to keep
people captivated for the twenty thirty or forty minutes however
long you're like this, so it doesn't necessarily have to

(25:26):
like align with your maybe exact views of somebody. But
I think that's great advice for somebody else who's like
starting out. You just have to make it a space
where it's not stuper like the person's coming on to
like promote their books like that's boring. It has to
it has to be more to it. But go ahead.
Speaking of books, I was gonna say, I see you

(25:47):
next year your book, Um, what is that? What is
that all about? And when did that start? And how
do I get one? And can I gonna send you? Like, Yeah,
I'm gonna send you a whole cat Like I'm going
to send you the ice roller and the book it's
called Oh my God, the ice roller is my favorite
thing in the world. I'm gonna send it to you.

(26:08):
It's stays cold for hours. It's like going to a depas.
Not that you need it. You don't need to be
de paffed. I need to be depuffed right now. But
the book is called Get Out of the Fun and
it's um. It's a hundred of the top influencers, celebrities
and podcast skincare tips. I Wish I had you, and
it um next time, next and then it's all my

(26:29):
tips and tricks, so it's essentially like the blog, but
in a book with every single unsponsored secret skincare tip
from tons of different people. I love that. That's such
a great idea because also it's so nice that there's
such a like I feel like your audience probably trusts
you so much just because you've probably built that relationship

(26:49):
with them talking and doing blogging and stuff like that.
And then to have so many other perspectives in your
book as well, that's so helpful. I can't wait. And
then that it's got to be more than just I
can't just share my skincare tips. It's like too boring.
We have to have other people I know. And also
it's fun for you when you're in that position because
you can learn from other people as well. It's like

(27:11):
such an advantage to be able to interview some of
these people and learn their their secrets. Yeah, totally do
have one secret from the book that's like really stuck
with you or stands out on the daily or something
you practice every day. Kristen Cavalary of like The Hills.
I don't know if you watch that, you might be

(27:31):
too young. I didn't watch The Hill obviously I know
what it is, but I never watched. I was a
little young. Okay, she says your face is a muscle,
and she found it wild that people don't work their
face out, they only work their body out. And I
am obsessed with facial massage. So anything that manipulates my face,

(27:52):
like it's changed my cheekbones and my jawline, I highly recommend. So, like, like,
what do you do? So I see like a facialist
in l a and in Austin, and the whole time
all they're doing is like hitting my face, like lifting
my face, sculpting my face with shaw ice roller. I

(28:13):
had the worst jaw surgery you could ever have. It
was like this nine hour surgery where they broke my
entire face and like put it back together. So I'm
very much a practitioner of puffiness. So by that's why
I created the ice roller. So with the ice roller
and facial massage, if you want to deep puff and
chisel and contour your face, you gotta get facial massage

(28:37):
mixed with the ice roller. Every morning, you will be
snatched to the God. Yes, can they define your doll?
Oh my god? I walk in there the before and
after it is because there's so much fluid in the
face that we carry, and our face is a muscle,
and so to not ever work it out, it's gonna sag.

(28:57):
So if you want to be youth full for a
long time, to lift the face all the time and
to manipulate it and to drain the fluid, you're going
to get that tight look. Yeah, that makes sense. I
guess the face is a muscle. I've never really thought
about it like that, and I've never worked out my
face or had one of those massages that you're talking about,

(29:18):
but I always I tried, and like the Guasha had
taken over the TikTok trend, I got one and I
was like trying to do it on my jaw for
a little bit. But I feel like, is it one
of those things you've noticed, like in the moment and
then with time it kind of goes away and then
you have to redo it again, or is it like
a weekly because it's like I do it weekly just
because it works so well, and like I swear to god,

(29:39):
it works better than botox because you're smoothing out your lines.
But it's a muscle, so like it's like it's like
saying like, if I work out well, my muscles pump up.
Yeah they will. But you keep working out, so like
you keep working out the base. Um, I will send
whoever we're on email with the person that I go
to in l A and want. Yeah, but you're so young.

(30:03):
You start now, you will be so happy. It's so
all about preventative Yeah, that's like my thing. I'm all
about taking preventative measures. I'm doing like anti aging moisturizers
and I'm twenty two. I just like don't want to
age at all, so I really want to try that. Um,
great advice that you can never start to thank you

(30:24):
for sharing that secret. Obviously, you just said you had
baby number two on the way. Um, does that change
things in your work life? I mean, obviously you're having
a newborn child, so I'm sure it does a little bit.
But do you feel like do you feel like the
type of person where you're like, Okay, I can take
this break and focus on my baby, or do you
feel like you're the type of person that needs to
keep working while you have the baby and multitask a

(30:46):
little bit. That's so weird you say that because the
first baby I was posting in labor. I was literally
like instagramming and working with the brand in labor, and
and I was I didn't take a maternity leave and
it was a huge steak. I had like the worst
postpartum depression. I jumped into things way too soon this one.
I'm I have such set boundaries, and I think that's

(31:09):
because of meditation. Like I've been like, this doesn't work
for me, I'm done working this day. I'm so much
more like I'm I'm I'm starting like I'm not having
three months just the baby, and I like, I'm going
to post what i want to post when i want
to post it in those three months, and like I'm
really really planning ahead um having a baby. Though no

(31:31):
one tells you this, it like being pregnant is a
slowd to work. It is. It is not easy. I
think it's harder than running a business. I also gained
sixty pounds my first pregnancy, which is a lot of weight.
This one has been so much better. I'm also going
to say meditation. I know that's crazy. Honestly, No, I

(31:53):
don't think it sounds crazy. I feel like that's a
real thing. It's a real thing. I feel so much
better this pregnancy. Um, but at the same time, like
the whole pregnancy thing, like don't let anyone fool you,
like it is a lot of work, and being pregnant
with the toddler is a lot of work too, So
I think there's no such thing as balanced. It's all

(32:15):
about like what your non negotiables are and your priorities,
and you just have to prioritize and things things go
by the wayside um. Yeah, I would just say, like,
don't look at what society tells you that you have
to do. And I would say, do what works for you, um,
whatever that is, whether it's freezing your eggs or like

(32:36):
waiting until you're certain, like just do it. Doesn't it
doesn't need to be the timeline of what everyone thinks
that you have to do. Yeah, that's so true. And
I feel like that goes with just everything in life
because everybody is so different. That's why we're literally all
born to be different human beings. There's a reason for it,
for sure. Um, I wanna obviously, I don't want to

(32:57):
keep you too long. I know you're a busy woman.
What do you have a coming or anything exciting or
you're just going to continue focusing on building um this
s canny confidential. With products. We have a ton of
products coming out. Every single product is like a morning
routine product. Every single product is very community driven. It's
like created with the community's input. I do not ever

(33:20):
want to launch something that's just like white labeled. It
has to like the four years to launch. It's like
I need to make sure every detail is like perfect.
So product is coming out and then another book a baby,
and our podcast is out eight times a month. Damn.
I don't know how you do it all, but it's

(33:40):
very inspiring and I just want to say a big
thank you for coming on today. You were an angel
and I feel like I learned a lot from this podcast.
And I feel like I'm going to like hit you
up in the month and be like, I just started meditating.
It's changing my life. I'm gonna d m you right
now the meditation that you should start with to try.
