Speaker 1 (00:15):
What is up everyone, I'm Alouse Ortiz, I'm Camilla Ramon
and this is Asta and today, as you can tell
Camilla her side of the room, her camera is full
of yellow.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I clearly lost the bet, thank you so much. A
year ago I lost the bet and oh yeah she did.
Wait a year ago at the Coba Medica Men's final,
I was on the way and I facetimed her and
I was like, let's make a bet if Columbia loses
and you have to wear the Argentina jersey on air.
Just so happened. There was a goat in the studio
that like Pete on the jersey, So Melissa as she
(00:50):
wore an Argentina which is so disrespectful, by the way,
talk to the goat. Okay, every single Argentinian ancestor was
like rolling in their grave when that happened. Girl, I
was rolling in my grave at theme. Anyway, she wore
that jersey on air and Argentina jersey repped it. Yep,
I did, and it was painful but sweet revenge, baby,
(01:11):
because this year Argentina Women's played against Columbia Women's in
the semi final of the Copamedica Women's Copamitica. Yeah, and
they only won in penalties. Okay, miss, Only a win
is a win. And we did watch it live with
each other while she was in Japan, so she watched
it in the morning and then I was here in
the United States. Yeah, we literally faced on each other
(01:33):
and I had the game on another screen and I
even texted coming though. Before the game, I said, Okay,
we're gonna do this, bet, get ready to lose, get
ready to wear the jersey, and get ready to sing
a song and pay your duce. Oh god, that was
hellic confident. And so with that all being said, first
before we have her sing the song, let's introduce to
you also this Colombian festival. Oh yeah, we're having a
(01:55):
Columbia party. Yeah, I mean twist my arm. So we're
gonna take one bite and then we're gonna start singing too.
So I'm gonna give you that. That's the thing with
my mouth. Pho my, I'll let you cheer a little bit. Okay,
So which one do you want? This happened? We have
to sample it? Look at that. Okay. So the song
(02:18):
is Ryan Castro if you know, you know, because it
was the song of the summer last year and today
comedy has to sing it. She had to actually learn
it because the other day when I spoke to her,
she did not know the lyricist song yet. But are
you ready? Did you chew yet? Did you know? Do
you need some refreshing a? Yeah? What do you have there?
I got a Columbiana and Manana. I'll tell you Columbia,
(02:42):
good choice, thank you. I actually like Columbiana way better
than Mansana, especially which is mixed Columbiana with with beer
that the spots my grandma's like favorite trink. Amazing. Okay, Mommy,
are you ready? I think so. I need to look
at your lips though, because I'll fuck this up. Ready
you wait? Okay, Mammy Brendel, no memoist. Away, let's say
(03:10):
come colla my Dalin, No Mammy bred no memoralist go
hell scene where Dalin Dando? So I love it? Yeah?
(03:37):
So wait, so tell me about the final was insane? Okay?
While I do that? Have a okay? Okay, So it
was heartbreaking to say the are solid. It's I love
them just my fag any time of the day, anything,
anytime of okay. So so, Colombia lost to Brazil in
(04:02):
the Coba Medica Women's Final. Congratulations to Brazil. I have
to say pay my respect because it's their ninth consecutive
Coba Medica title, ninexecutive. Yeah, and it was a thriller,
a screamer, a roller coaster of emotions this game. Uh,
it had a record viewership and it was a game
that ended up being four to four, and then they
went into extra time and then they went into penalty kicks,
(04:24):
and then those penalty kicks, Columbia lost five to four.
But you saw a bit of everything. It was just
like a fascal of like athleticism and like we go
lassos in like precision. It was insane. I mean Martha goals. Yeah,
you know, you had some really great build up goals.
You had Lazy Santos who scored an incredible free kick.
(04:46):
That's the one that was over and around like like
four of the ball, and that's her specialty. That's she
doesn't end the style. But which is crazy to me
is thirty nine year old Martha who is like the
ultimate goal, the ultimate legend. She comes in on as
a and she scores two goals and she's the one
who really lifted up that Brazilian team because Columbia. Columbia
(05:07):
had it and they were twenty seconds away from lifting
the title until Martha struck that ball. Like it hurts
every time I think about it, but it's crazy because
it's it's saddening to say this that like Colombia national
team men's and women's have lost so many finals and
(05:28):
it's actually been a huge topic of conversation in Colombia.
And I actually got asked this question in my DMS
the other day, like why is it that like we
can't steal the deal because we have MESSI I mean fat,
I mean, yeah, you do have messy. We don't got messy.
But it's just like one, you can't compare the men's
(05:52):
to the women's team. You can't compare that. But I
wanted to make this point in that one. I'm super
proud of the women's Columbia national team. They have done
in such few years is absolutely incredible. Now when I
think about like top tier like women's football, I think
of Columbia. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, and they've competed really well.
(06:12):
At the twenty twenty three Women's Old Cup in the Olympics,
they were leading against Spain and dropped that lead in
loss to Spain, like the talent is there, However it
seems like like we just can't keep the lead and
we lose grasp of our mentality and of our football.
And I think that over time. You know, a lot
of people Columbia are blaming that these loss of finals,
(06:36):
both men's and women's national team is because of the
lack of mentality, like they are saying it's like mentally
which makes a losing mentality, which I don't believe is
true at all. I think that winning is something that
you build over the course of years. Keep in mind
that this women's national team, when I was on it,
we tied Brazil actually in the final. We lost some
(06:56):
points in the whole tournament. But why I'm saying is
this is because you build DNA over the course of time.
The US one's national team is where they are today
is because they've built over the course of thirty forty
years of where they are now, and they've always had
that DNA and that mentality of winning. And I think
that Colombia has a talent and will continue to build
(07:19):
and continue to learn from your mistakes. You learn from
your losses, and I think this one as the new
generation of players continues to grow, to perform, to compete
in these top class tournaments and top class leagues. Columbia
will left the title. And I have one former teammate.
(07:41):
Her name is Carlina Pinea, and she has an academy
in Kaalie, Columbia. Even when I was playing with her
on my team, this is over ten years ago, she
would say. Since then she saw the talent that was
being created in Columbia with the youth teams and the
young girls. She said, Colombia is going to lift a
title one day. They are going to win. Are gonna
They're gonna win. I think. Also one of the beautiful
(08:04):
things about Columbia is that the country supports both teams
in a way that like, it's it's really nice to
see because Ianina does not support the female team like
Columbia supports. It's true, yeah, and it's it's really beautiful
to see. Not only because it it like, uh supports
all of the hard work and effort that these ladies
(08:24):
are putting into the sport and like in the way
that they're positively representing the country, but also it continues
to attract even better talent and like motivate everyone to
be better, not just you know, the girls that are
in there doing it for the passion of the sport too,
but it brings it adds another layer of like support,
even if it's just a community support. That that is
(08:47):
really nice to see because you don't see it in
every other country, No you don't. And it's growing. Archisina
is growing. Yeah, you know which is is it's great progress.
But you're completely right about that. Yeah, Like they don't
fans and support the women's team as much as Columbia does,
but it will only continue to improve. I think it's
just a matter of time. It's a matter of time
unless you're playing on the final against Argentina. But yes,
(09:09):
we're gonna win. That ain't happen in that. And the
congratulations because ka who was the goalkeeper of Columbia, won
the award of Goalkeeper of the Tournament and there was
a really special video at the end of the game
where obviously she was distraught, but Mark that went up
to her on live TV and like just gave paid
her respect to her, which is huge because Kata Tapia
(09:30):
I used to play with her at the time. She
never had made it to our full national team and
I don't know if it was because she wasn't developed
yet as a player or if she was younger. I
can't remember the exact reason why, but like talent wise,
the other goalkeepers were above her. She used to be
on the s MAP, which is like the national Guard
(09:50):
in Colombia. Like literally there are photos of her in
like full on national guard. The year she was in
the police force, she was national guard. She was a
bodyguard the ship. Yeah, no, I would have with her, yeah,
like damn yeah. So it's an incredible story that she
left that I'm letting nothing through. Literally, I've been training
for this my whole life, for real, and it showed.
(10:12):
It showed in the tournament. And it's a beautiful story
because it shows that with the right support, with the
league that formed in Columbia, she was able to finally
leave her job as like a part of the force
to become a goalkeeper full time athlete. And look where
she is now and she's playing professionally in Brazil. So
just a really cute story and inspiring story I wanted
(10:33):
to share with y'all because we need more of that,
and it's pretty badass. That is badass. Yeah, I have
a question for you. I heard that to be a
goal keeper you have to be a little bit crazy. Absolutely,
why oh, because like you are part of a team,
but at the same time, it's almost like you're sometimes
(10:54):
on your own and you have to deal with a
lot of pressure, so much pressure. Yeah, and I'm not
gonna lie. Majority of the goalkeepers that I've had as
teammates are a little weird in a good way, but weird.
Whether it's like they're like goofy, or whether they're like awkward,
or whether they're like, I don't know, just different than
the other ten players on the field or on the roster.
(11:17):
They just are different, but in like the most fun,
cool way or spectful way possible. But it's true, and
players will say it, like you got to be a
little bit crazy to be a goalkeeper. Yeah, well there
you go. Yeah. Well Millie and I I'm so happy
that you're back, thanks dude, Because she went to Japan.
(11:38):
I did what was your favorite part about going to Japan?
Literally we were just talking about this. We were like,
we're like the only two like crazy girls that like
are like she got back yesterday from Japan. I got
back yet last night like at nine pm, actually, like
ten pm. From Tennessee. Yeah, and we're like, hey, like,
let's just record a podcast. Like she walked in my
bed was not made. I have my luggage on my
(12:00):
tread because I have no space in my apartment, like
it was just in my houses in shambles. I have
like dishes in the sink. I'm like, we're having a
Columbia party. It doesn't matter, just come through. I love
it though, because like it's because we don't see it
as work. We see it as we get to connect
with you all as our listeners and also take advantage
of the fact that we're in the same city. And
my flight from Tokyo it was direct here to JFK
(12:23):
to New York. So I'm like, we do in a podcast.
So while I'm here for twenty four hours, she's only
here on jet Live. But that's okay. No, Tokyo was
wait do you want do you want more? Yeah? I
want to ban No. Here we go yellow and yellow
and with that Jersey girl, rate it, rate it. It's
(12:44):
a little cool, a little it's not hot, so I
don't know if it's a fair waiting Oh here it's
fae Okay. So my trip to Tokyo my favorite thing
was the food. Oh, can we have a moment for
Japanese food? Pun I love the footy Doka varieties. So
you get there, which is like the little potters and
stuff that you put on the rice. Yes, oh my gosh.
(13:05):
And then so I went to three cities, Tokyo, Osaka,
and Okinawa, Andina was looked in San Island. Yeah, it's
like a two hour flight from Tokyo. The most one
of the most beautiful beaches, pristine beaches, just so clean.
It was gorgeous. You know another thing that I learned
The sun hits hard in Japan. The sun girl, like,
(13:28):
you're from Miami. Yeah, I grew up in South Florida.
Columbia gets hot too. Yeah, there is no comparison to
Japanese sun. At least I have fire a sunscreen out there.
They do beuty products. I hit up don Quixote, which
is like the ten floor Marshall Splash Walmart of Japan.
That's so random that it's called that. I know, right,
(13:48):
That's what I thought to it. Christians like, where are
we were at don Quixota? What the hell is this?
I was like, don't worry. I found it off TikTok
and they sell all the beauty products I need to
buy right now for like hell a cheap. So then
you're gonna come back and you're gonna tell us which
ones you loved. Yeah okay, yeah, what else have you?
How have you been? I've been, you know, running around,
traveling quite a bit, just like over the weekends and
(14:10):
stuff like I didn't travel for the first like chunk
of the summer. I think, actually you're lying. I felt
like I traveled, I mean compared to you, because you
travel all the time, like you're literally like never home.
I was traveling a little bit, and then I like
slowed down, and then now I'm starting to pick back
up with my travels, counting down the dates to go
to the Bad Money concert, excited, planning my outfit. That's
(14:33):
gonna be talk about fomo right now, by the way,
like the Bad Bunny concert videos. Oh my god, I'm
just ready to be like the Street. I don't care.
I don't care. When I was given birth to the
doctor took me out the womb and said this woman
was meant to be. When the Street at the Bud
Money concert, and that's exactly what I'm gonna be. Okay,
(14:56):
no shame, in the game. Absolutely not, So I'm honestly
just counting down the days for that. And like in
New York City, this summer has been incredible. My friends
are all complaining. They're like, oh my god, it's so hot.
I'm like, ninety eight degrees. Let's go outside, rex, except
I walk them only in the shade because the payment
gets hot. But yeah, I've been, you know, after I've
recovered from food poisoning, I've been hitting up my shaken espresso. Okay, no,
(15:22):
I've been getting them from the store. Man, I haven't.
I want to learn how to make them. But like,
I'm also looking for an apartment. It's been kind of
like a crazy couple of a couple of weeks here
in New York City. But you know, just happy, happy
to be, you know, doing the thing. And at Peloton,
we've been I've been like off of the cycling and
tread schedule because they're redoing the studios. I am a
(15:45):
little nervous because the cameras are coming back in four K.
Like y'all have no business looking at me and detecting
that I forgot to wax my mustache. All right, you're
on cycling your makeup better? Be like no more under
I creasing like we used to get away with so much.
Like y'all have no idea, Like you get a culture
one day, you can't see it now. Oh my god,
(16:06):
I'm gonna have to call out be like emergency. There's
an emergency, why, ma'am? Because you all have four K installed.
Now that's why. Literally, a pimple on my forehead. Hey,
I'm a sick day, I'm ill. I cannot go into
work today. Oh my gosh. Four K. That's crazy crazy
and you're like sweating and stuff. But in chess pimple,
(16:27):
oh my god, because people will be like, oh, pimple
on our face. Whatever you get a chess pimple? Those
are real too. Okay, wait, so back to New York
apartment shopping because I've been in that situation before. How
crazy is it right now? Like tell me true, it's insane. Yeah, yeah,
it's just been. It's been. It's crazy. And I think, like,
(16:47):
I don't know, I'm ready to elbow. Which is in
the street give their line, give me your house, give
me your house? I think it depends, Okay, it depends
on on on what day you go, what you're looking
for and stuff. But I'm very confident that we're going
to find something and that Luciana and I have been
living in a one vener apartment for the four years
that we've been here and it's really nice. But like,
(17:08):
Millie and I are currently recording the podcast from my
house and last night I was like, hey, babe, it
was like ten in the ten at night. I was like,
by the way, Melissa's coming tomorrow to record the podcast.
He's like, you didn't tell me, and I was like, yeah,
I did, and I gave him attitude. He's like, you
literally didn't. I don't understand why you're giving the attitude.
And I was like, you're right, I'm so sorry. I
felt so bad and he was like, fine, I'll go
(17:29):
to the gym because he's like in the summertime, so
he has like, oh yeah, but I've been there. But
also I have to look for an apartment soon too
in Miami, because let's just talk about how frustrating one
moving is. But we just moved to Miami in November,
and all of a sudden, our building is like, oh,
(17:50):
you guys need to sign a new addendum to your weeks.
We're like, what are you talking about? We're here for
like another year, like fourteen months. And what happened was
that these owners are buying out this building for five
hundred million dollars and essentially we're gonna everybody is moving
out of the building because they're gonna knock down the
building and construct an ultra luxury another if Miami didn't
(18:15):
ready have enough ultra luxury place is to live another
building in Miami, and so we have to Also we've
been looking at apartments, So if any of y'all are
also looking for apartments in Miami, you let me know.
For Kammi yeah, oh god. Well, Melissa and I are
always booked and busy, and I think one of the
things that we wanted to talk about was like preventing burnout.
(18:37):
So we're going to come back after the break and
talk all about how to rest and recharge, okay, so
that you can put in that work and achieve everything
that you want to achieve. And during my back, during
this break, Commy's gonna eat another bite upon the bone
of my All Right, rest and reset. I feel like
(19:04):
like that's the mantra we need to We need to
invite more into our lives and maybe into your lives too.
The hustle culture is great, but sometimes it's not always healthy, right,
got me one hundred percent. So you know your your mind,
your body, you can only do so much. And I
(19:25):
feel like if you're a listener, you know whether you
are working like crazy, and then you also are balancing
life with exercise, maybe uh being a parent, maybe being
a caregiver, maybe balancing like the different elements of life
that's just thrown at you. But then you get to
a point and you're like, holy shit, I feel burnt out.
(19:47):
Yeah have you ever have you ever felt that? Have
you ever felt that? The damage? I think, yeah, it's it's
very it's super homand for everybody, like it's not just us,
but I think for me, like when I need rest,
I have learned to set boundaries. I was reading something
the other day that talks about like the different types
(20:08):
of rest that people need. Number one is like physical rest,
which is pretty obvious, like you're resting from your workouts,
you're resting from you're stretching, you're doing your recovery work.
You're literally just sometimes like being horizontal. Then there's like,
you know, emotional rests like mental rest where you're doing
potentially like meditations where you're disconnecting from work, where you
(20:31):
are going to therapy or are connecting with people that
like make you feel full. There's obviously other types of
rest as well, but I think one of the ones
that I have been really leading into has been like
rest from like stimulation, like cognitive rests, especially as it
(20:52):
pertains to social media. Yeah, because you could have a
day off, but you spend your whole day like on
your phone on TikTok, and you do not feel rested
at all. Matter of factly, you feel more stressed. You
feel more like you're not doing enough. You feel like
in Gassida, like you're like kind of like frozen in time. Lucian,
(21:17):
I'm looking at my kitchen table right now because it's
a disaster. But we bought in a thousand piece puzzle,
you guys. Yeah, and we have been like right before
we go to sleep, like we've been. It's tough because
like visually it's a lot, but like to like wind down,
we've been like putting together the puzzle. I love that,
little by little and it's like literally all over our
kitchen table, Like I have absolutely no idea when we're
going to finish it. But it's like a family, you
(21:39):
better finish it before you move. No, for real, we
have a couple of weeks hopefully, so we've been like
focusing on that and like the best I talk about
this all the time, but like the best thing that
I did was like get an app blocker because at
least it calls you out and like you should be
off your phone at this point. Like the worst thing
that app blocker did was introduce pausing it because I've
been pausing it like crazy, but it's still better than
what used to happen. Like my time, like my screen
(22:02):
time has reduced so much. Yeah, I'm jealous. Yeah, I
need to follow that. So I've been focusing on that.
So it's not just like the physical rest for me.
For me, it's more it's more so the like the
mental rests. Yeah, I one hundred percent agree. I just
got back from Japan, right and while I was first
(22:23):
there of course, like I was there with a campaign
with Japan Airlines and Liverpool Football Club, so I already
knew going there that like I'm not on a full vacation. Yeah,
Like I'm still creating content. I'm constantly like with either
of my account creating content because even when we're off, like
I'm not like working, but I'm creating content too. Yeah,
it's like you're never ending. And Christian tells me that too.
(22:44):
He was like, you need to like pause, you need
to you know, obviously be present, which I try to be.
You actually do do a good job at like recording
things and posting it later though, yes, but it also
throws people off. Yeah, a lot of people. I don't care.
So when I was in and my first priority, of
course because of my job, was let me grab content
(23:05):
and film content what I need to do for my work.
But do I really need to be posting? I no,
Like why would I have to be posting unless it's
a part of my job, which like it wasn't like
the date wasn't there where like le Japan Airlines in
Liverpool or like you need to post on this date.
And so I was like, you know what, like let
me just get off the grid for a bit, Like
I don't want to post because, like you said, it's
(23:29):
like my own way of disconnecting and helping me stay
present with my husband with where we are, because when
are we else going to be in Japan for? Right now?
The time being, and so for me, that's my way
of I guess, not app blocking, because yes, was I
still like on the app from time to time. And
don't get me wrong, like TikTok is a great research
(23:52):
utility for traveling. I found a lot of stuff on Instagram,
most on TikTok. So was I on it, Yes, for sure,
but I just tried to like stay off of it
in for my own personal reasons, which which was great.
And I feel like I have to do it more consistently,
and like I've been telling you this, I feel like
for a month and I feel stupid saying it, But
I definitely need to do more of an app blocker
(24:13):
because when I tried, I just would pause it, I
would get out of it. Yeah, I definitely need to,
you dedicate myself to doing that. I think commitment one
of the things that like as women, I don't see
people talk about often is also like balance in your
relationship too, Like obviously we're badass women, like we're entrepreneurs.
(24:34):
We're people who have chosen to put our career first
for a certain part of our lives. Obviously we both
have goals, so like have our own families and things
like that. But I think right now we're in a
place where we really just want to focus on our careers,
and that can also lead to putting your relationship to
the side sometimes too, and like let's be real, like
(24:56):
our boys need time, and like it's also little disrespectful
for us to be always on our phones, always working,
always doing these things. And like sometimes I like in
the past, like when I first like started transitioning into
this space, like I would find myself like being like
the dad you know in the movies, the Dad's like,
(25:16):
hold on, I gotta take this call. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
And then I was like, no, no, no, I don't want
to I don't want to do that, right, So I'd
be like, hey, I'm off the grid. Like I now,
I've like made an effort to like if I'm going
on vacation, vacation not like work travel, like I'm going
to be like more off the grid, which has been
really nice. And I think that something else that I
(25:37):
have come not come to terms with, but like have
definitely been prioritizing more is also like family time and
time with friends, because for me, I struggled with like
setting aside the time to like do things with people
that I love, and then I find myself like looking
back on like my summer or my the last couple
(25:58):
of months and be like, oh, I like barely hung
out with my friends, or like I barely got to
do any of these things. And hanging out with friends
and just chilling and like having a conversation, playing a
board game, going to the movies or whatever it is
also makes you feel full and like feeds the creative
energy that you need to like go out there and
do like amazing things. It's so crazy how fast time flies.
(26:22):
You don't realize it, but then all of a sudden
it hits you, like holy shit, like where did these last?
When was the last time I saw my like the
certain friend, or sometimes I think like especially because as
Latinas or Latinos, we have very tight knit families, and
I'm like, holy shit, like when was the last time
I saw this ant or that ant or that uncle
(26:42):
you know? And I think back, I'm like, oh my gosh,
we're all getting older, and it almost makes me like nostalgic,
but then also emotional thinking about how can we make
the most use of our time? And I think that
goes into like rest and reset because, like you said,
when you're spending time with your loved one, to your family,
your friends, it helps you gain that like that it's
(27:04):
like food for your soul. You know, it's time for
your soul in order to recharge your battery. And sometimes
I'm like, when I'm in the grind of everything and
I finally get home, I have this feeling of like, man,
I want to go home home, like I want to
see my parents, I want to see my grandma, I
want to see my brothers. Like I get that urge
of just like that's my reset, you know what I mean,
(27:26):
More than flung across the world to Tokyo, you know,
it's more like I need that family time as part
of my my reset. I think too, as there's a
balance too, because as Latinos there's like the hustle culture,
especially as immigrant families in the United States too, So
it's not just like, oh, like I reset with my family.
(27:46):
A lot of Latino families in the United States have
like smaller families, right, So maybe if I were to
live in Argentina, I would have more family events to
attend that would make me feel a little bit more
like connected. But because sometimes I'm far away, then I'm like, oh, well,
like I can just like work, or I can just
pick up this gig or this activation or this opportunity,
like I could travel every weekend in August or whatever.
(28:08):
But like if I were with my if I had
my family nearby, you know, like Monday night, I would
probably go visit my abula, I would probably like go
see my ta or like help them out with something.
And I think as like Huszle culture in like Latino
communities in the United States especially, like it's very easy
for us to put our health to the side, like
not go to our doctor's appointments, go to the urgent
(28:28):
care visits only instead of primary care physician. You know,
like stop taking care of yourself, like exercise less even
to like not work out, not take care of our bodies,
put everybody else first, and not like take care of
like the things that we need, even as it pertains
to like like food and stuff. Like culturally too, like
(28:48):
what you consume also determines like how you rest right.
So like let's say you're like drinking more alcohol before
you go to sleep, You're not gonna have a good
night's sleep. Or you're like consuming a lot of sugar
right before, or like you're not paying attention to the
things that you need to recover I think too. One
last thing that I want to say about like rest
and recovery, Like can you talk a little bit about
(29:10):
like overuse injuries or like a time that we like
physically like as an athlete, like, oh yeah, put a
share amount of injuries that I've had that I over
exerted my body in every way, single form. It was
because of that, I guess if you would compare it
to this day and age, like that hustle mentality, but
also when you're an athlete and you're competing for a spot,
(29:31):
you don't want to stop. You don't want to rest,
even though your body's sometimes telling you to. And I
paid the consequences of that definitely with pulled muscles, with
the knee injury, even with the Achilles tear, and it's
it can't coper it because I was also fighting for
a starting spot and also training for a World Cup.
But I do want to say is like you do
(29:53):
have to listen to your body. And one of my
biggest regrets looking back then, when I was, you know,
a competing athlete, was not always one listening to my body,
to advocating and fighting for myself to get the right
type of care doctor's visits. And three just like making
sure that with those doctor's visits I would be doing
(30:17):
stuff to help those or prevent those injuries. Is like
the preventative work, you know, and about like rest and reset.
Why this makes so much sense because when I look
back when my injuries happened, I feel like, not only
was it because of you know, the overuse, but it
was also because of mentally where I was, and it
was very stressed, very mentally stressed. And stress can be
(30:41):
very taxing on you know, your emotions, but also your body,
and you don't realize it that sometimes say you do
get injured, you're like, holy crap. I thought I felt
like okay, my body felt okay, but your mind wasn't.
And I learned that eventually that if your mind isn't okay,
like in sync with your body, it could throw a
lot off balance. And that's essentially, in my opinion, some
(31:04):
of the reason why I kept on getting injured a lot,
like muscle pulls and then obviously my achilles terrified. What
about you like with over use and having to put
a pause, Yeah, I think my overuse injuries primarily came
from running when I was training for like a marathon
or something like that. And like also like I used
to cycle a lot, Like I've always taught cycling for
(31:27):
pretty much in my entire like stint in fitness, it's
then like a short term or a long term stance
is short, okay, my long journey in fitness anyway, that's
my THEMBO. So I was always moving like spruntal plane
(31:50):
cycling and running, cycling and running, cycling, running, wasn't prioritizing
strength training, So that's what led to overuse injuries. And
then I learned to like you know, navigate around that
as I started going to pet and things like that.
But I think primarily for me, like one of the
things that affected my training the most was my mentality.
Like I'm very open about the issues that I've had
with my body and the way that I used to
(32:10):
train and the things that you know, I went through.
There's a whole episode on my body image journey and
like body positivity as well. If you guys haven't listened
to it, make sure and that you go listen to it,
because I open up a lot about these things. But
for me, I was very like cardio forward, like I
just wanted to be flaka, Like, yes, I lifted weights,
(32:31):
Yes I went to the gym, but at the same
time I was doing so much cardio. I was not resting.
I was like sometimes I would do like two hours
of cardio a day. Oh my god, when I was
hanging out with my friends that were doing bodybuilding, because
that's what they were doing to like shred before competition building.
Fuck it, I'm not going to compete, but I just
do two hours of cardio. Yeah. So I was like
I would go to dance practice, then I would go
(32:55):
run four miles, and then I would go to the
gym on foward. And that was like every day I
was so miserable. My energy was drained, my homeowonnes were
fucked up. I stopp getting my period, Like there were
so many different things that were happening to me. Today
I'm doing so much less and the results that I'm
seeing in my body, like I feel so much stronger,
so much better, Like my body composition is something that
(33:17):
I'm very proud of that that makes me like look
in the mirror and be like hey, like but you
look good, like like I love who you are. And
that's not to say that I like way less than
I did. Then. It's just a couple of things happened.
Number One, I changed obviously, healed my relationship with myself,
which is extremely important. But also I prioritize the things
(33:38):
that I know matter and in a way that was
going to lead me to, you know, have the best results.
And when I was doing all these things and like
training so much on like under eating, that's also when
I was like binge eating like I would come home.
Of course, bitch, you're so fucking hungry. You did like
five hours of fucking cardio. So you're saying I don't
want more at it, But I don't want more at it.
(34:00):
The next one is like verything that has walle in it.
I just fed her. How is it okay? Sorry to
interrupt you. You were on a rent and I love it. Continue?
Can you continue? All that to say is that now
(34:22):
I have a really great balance, Like I run, I lift,
and then I go to work and I do the
things that I need to do. At work, I feel
my body and the way that I feel is centered
like I I can't even tell you, like the last
time that I had like an episode where I needed
to like binge eat like I used to like when
(34:44):
I felt like a sudden urge they have to devour everything,
or that I felt bad about myself. I feel very
confident and very powerful. And I think that's also because
I'm allowing myself to rest, I'm allowing my body to recover,
and I'm allowing myself to show up in the ways
that feel right for me. And I'm paying attention to
what my body's telling me versus like forcing my body
(35:05):
to do something that is not natural is not what
I wants to donna, is gonna just lead to injury,
and like mental like mental dreaming and physical dreaming. So
I have a question. Do you think it's more now
because of quality over quantity? One hundred percent? Yeah, quality
over quantity. And then also yeah, that's it, Okay. I
(35:33):
also have another question, though, do you ever feel guilty,
whether it be with your app blocker and like not
responding to notifications or disconnecting all the time? Yeah, And
how do you deal with that guilt? Because I know
our listeners probably either a have just have disconnected or
like have just put their phone aside, or we are
(35:53):
looking to do that because they are feeling like they
need to. But how do you deal with that sort
of guilt of always having to be on being responsive,
taking care of X y Z. Be it your grandma,
you're Auela, your I don't know, kids, your whatever is
going on in your life, your job? How do you
get away from that guil? Well, when it comes to
(36:16):
my family, I always like I have to respond. Sometimes
I forget, but I never feel bad when like people
like follow up and I always follow up with people too,
Like my friends, I'm annoying sometimes, like I'll FaceTime you
three times until you answer yeah, And I don't feel
bad about that. It's also like a part of like
(36:37):
who I am. When it comes to like social media
and things like that, I just physically like can't can't. Yeah,
there's a certain amount of time that I can like
spend on that. I think we have gone from a
place where we used to create more to a place
where we're just consuming so much. One of my recent
(37:01):
goals has been to create more, which is why, like
I've picked up hobbies. I've made an effort to like
instead of just like sitting and like watching TV at night,
like setting some time aside to do to do some
hobbies and like spend time in my room like either
writing or journaling or drawing or singing or whatever it
is that I want to do that has led me to,
(37:23):
you know, create cool things that make me feel proud
of myself, even if it's just creating or building a
puzzle of that. So I've been I've been in that.
There's obviously like things that I consume that I love,
and like I do spend a lot of time on
TikTok too, I'm not I feel like I'm better than
anybody like I this spends a lot of time on
fucking TikTok. Like, let's just be real. I love tiktalk,
(37:45):
but I do make an effort to like try to
create more than I consume. Now, that's a great point
that you made, because I feel as of recent I
want to say, like the last six months, I've been
consuming more than creating. Yeah, but I think it's all
because one, like there's just way more less you said
content to consume. And also like work wise, it's like
you're doing all this your work. So say you know
(38:07):
your repels on shock We create for work too, Oh
hell yeah, And I'm constantly studying for soccer games and
traveling and all this stuff, and like sometimes like I
don't have the energy to create, like I just need
to consume right now. And also you can also create
just for you, yeah, like and like have space where
you're just like doing something for you. Yeah, I like,
even if it's just like ceramics or something that makes
(38:28):
you feel like connected with yourself, because I think that
when I feel the most rested is actually when I
feel not necessarily like physically rested, but the most like
connected with myself mentally and with like the things that
I'm actually doing at this point in time, rather than
like thinking about all the things that I have to do.
(38:50):
And I think too, like when it comes to like
connecting with people on social media, it's just extremely hard
to keep up with with like message and stuff. I
try to respond as much as possible, but it's just
one of those things that if it's like mentally not
good for me to be on social media all the time,
(39:12):
just like you know, for you guys listening, like you
know that that's just not healthy for our attention spans
for all these different things. It's better for us to
get inspired in some ways and then just go out
there and like create things for our communities, for ourselves,
for our families, or create space for people to have fun.
And that's with our personal for sure. But if you
(39:34):
do want to hit us, hit us up in our
DMS on Astabaja Podcast, we do have a wonderful human
being named Aleiha and she's been helping us with creating
content for our account and also super responsive on our
dms because we love to hear your questions and comments
and feedback, which we've been getting a lot of great ones. Yes,
and we did a whole segment on the humanity segment,
(39:54):
which we'll do more of, and I think that's also
a really healthy way for us to respond to questions
and stuff like that. That is is very very like
feeling for everyone's cup because we're like everyone's connected. Yeah,
in that way for sure, we all need help sometimes
and we're all a team. And I just want to say, like,
we really appreciate you all for being part of this
(40:17):
and being part of this journey and hitting us up
and connecting with us, even if it's through social media.
So with that being said, let's toss the break and
then we come back. Yeah, we're gonna make you famous, baby,
(40:38):
welcome back. We are here at our Aga Famosa segment. Melie.
You ready to hear about some Latin music. I am as.
I want to start with some really great news because
I'm I love the vocalist and coming out with her
(40:59):
own album, which is I'm super hype about that Love
more to come. But we're super excited about that, Like
I'm a big fan and I'm just you know, excited
to hear more. There's also an Argentinian artist called Media Madniss,
which I love her. I have to say that I
do love her music. I listen to her music. She
(41:20):
just dropped a new album what kind of genre? Sorry
and pop? Okay, She just dropped a new album called
betafect Us. The album is I'll call out to the
industry for women to have to like appear a certain
way and also talk about like the pressures of women
in the industry. I do have to say, especially for
(41:41):
Argentinian artists, it's absolutely insane for female artists, the pressure
that they are under to look a certain way, to
act a certain way, to look perfect, to be perfect. Yes, yes, yes,
yes yes, I would love to have seen this album
and maybe it's coming Yeah, it is coming, but I
would have loved this album to come along with a
(42:04):
bit of an even more this contract version. How do
you say English? Great question? Polish like a less polished,
more authentic and relatable version of Emilia rather than like
such a polished even marketing for it. I feel like
it doesn't match with the message that maybe that's just
(42:26):
a note for the marketing team.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Yeah, Like if I'm hearing an album about how it's
too much to be perfect, don't give me a perfect
image that's been photoshoped.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Like, I want to see the raw, I want to
see the emotion. I want to see it, and I
hope that it's coming. I think because there has been
feedback about this on social media, I think that they'll
probably pivot and move towards something a little bit more
like that. But like, my hope is that this can
make a change. And I do feel her because as
somebody who comes from my Hendina like it's it's just
(42:55):
the pressures are insane, like let alone any woman. Yeah
in the Latin music stress talk to us about that exactly, which,
by the way, listen to that episode of CHESCA Incredible
episode episode number two three four, something like that one
of our first ones. Yeah, but she talked a lot
about about a lot about body image and dealing with
(43:15):
her surgeries, with her hair, with her scalp. Yeah, number,
and like fighting against that type of how do you
say that, Like fighting against the norms of the stereotypes
of like society in the music industry. I think I'm
really excited to see what they do with this, for sure,
So stay tuned, pay attention, and maybe we'll all be
(43:36):
very pleasantly surprised. Cool. I love that got me for mine?
Are you ready? Yes? So I have a few mix
of soccer and basketball. On the soccer side of things
this summer, we enjoyed Women's Buddy, We enjoyed men's Fuddy,
but more specifically, you know, Coba Medica. Final numbers were
through the roof for the women's Coabomedica and the women's Ue,
(44:00):
which was also an insane final and a really great tournament.
Fox announced that it was the most washed women's soccer
game in English language US tele digit history for that final.
For the final, the euro drawing one point three to
five million viewers, which is fifty three percent since the
(44:22):
comparison to the twenty twenty two Women's euro Final. So yeah, huge,
huge news and the continuation and the progress of the
growing women's game. Trinity Rodman, who played for the Washington Spirit,
finally came back after dealing with a back injury for
quite some time. She's been in and out, but she's
been out for months from the Washington Spirit. She came
(44:44):
back over the weekend. She scored in her game bag
and she cried, and in her postgame interview she let
out her emotions just talking about how hard it's been
to be away from the team and the game. She's
such a young player and going through a back injury,
which is not normal. Yeah, so congrats trend. She's also
a wonderful person and player. And then if you follow,
(45:07):
and you should be following the w NBA, which I
need to personally follow more of. Over the weekend, we
have some big news. Minnesota Links have acquired the Dallas
Wing Star to Jane Carrington. The Links in the last
championship they lost to the New York Liberty, which, by
the way, one of the games prior to that final,
I was at the Liberty game which was insane last year.
(45:30):
So yeah, she's amazing. If you haven't gone to a
Liberty game, Go to Liberty game, or to any of
these WNBA games, because they are certainly lit. But the
links they have been on fire this season. They're far
and away number won the league in terms of wins,
and they aren't on the hunt to get that championship trophy.
(45:51):
And of course with this trade, with this acquisition of Djena,
it could be a really important pillar in stepping stone
to doing it, to lifting the title. So if you're
not watching WNBA, you're missing out. These women are continuing
to put on a show show, and women's basketball likewise,
women's football like wise, women's sports in general, is growing
(46:11):
and we're all happy to be part of it. So
stay tuned. I'm gonna keep you know, keep you in
the loop of all the news. But tune in, tune
in that TV, tune in that streaming app, because you'll
certainly see how awesome and empowering it is to watch it.
I feel like I should have highlighted a Colombian artist
for the our Columbian party. That's true. Do you have
(46:32):
any Columbian artists that you're like, absolutely loving, like any
songs right now from Columbian artists. There's this one song
that just came out with Copple, who we love obviously
with Ryan Castro. Oh okay, I don't ask me to
helmmet because I don't know what yet, but I listened
to it this morning. I'm I'm obsessed. Jay Balvin has
a new oh the mixtape the Jay Balvin I love
(46:53):
that he has and also oh me, like the O
song is like kay okay is like my ge Right now,
I'm totally spaced out on that lit So make sure
that you listen to j Balbin's new album, which I
feel like he has been steadily releasing music, but it's
been like, I mean since he like dropped an album
and like, I'm really excited about this like new album
(47:14):
situation me too. Yeah, I think that's it all right,
So we're back to the food. As you could see,
there's a few bites in all of them, and we're
gonna end this episode on Camilla rating the Colombian delights?
Do you want? Should I do? Like one one to five?
Is five of them? One time? Oh? Like each one? Yeah?
(47:35):
Or like number one on the list, number two? Three?
Oh yeah, let's write them. So right now, there's four
things on the list, but let's make it five with
the Columbiana This is it. That's a drink. I know,
I'm gonna leave the drink last because I'm here about that.
Oh really I like carbs, like okay, John Bread here. Honestly,
(47:55):
the final today was like very impressive. Really, I'm going
to rate it. And Banana number one it's really good,
right is yeah? Okay? And but number one I'm gonna
rate number two. Then Bana's number one because it has
chicken in it and it's so delicious and like it's like, honestly,
(48:17):
like how do you put that number one on? The
one was definitely number one really? Oh yeah, maybe because
they had met and I was like protein heavy. I
have only one is all the time though, But that
one is number two because he never lets me down.
A Bono is like somebody you can always count on.
She'll always be there. Care is number three because I
love a little salty sweet moment and has Baba in it.
(48:38):
And I don't know if that's traditional to like Colombia,
but like I am from Miami, so anything with Guaba
automatically has my ember. And then number five is that
if I feel like it was a little dry and
oh yeah, that's dry and then number six will be
the Colombiana just you know, because it's not bread. Let's
just be real. What do you think? Mm hmm, I'm
(49:04):
I'm the one first place, huh, second place and third
place this come, come and listen. Actually Columbiana goes before
that dry ass. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
Well, hey you guys for joining us for our Columbia parties.
Speaker 2 (49:23):

Speaker 4 (49:35):
They is an iHeart women's sports production and partnership with
Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment.
Speaker 2 (49:48):
For more podcasts, listen to the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you listen to your favorite shows,
What is up everyone, I'm Alouse Ortiz, I'm Camilla Ramon
and this is Asta and today, as you can tell
Camilla her side of the room, her camera is full
of yellow.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I clearly lost the bet, thank you so much. A
year ago I lost the bet and oh yeah she did.
Wait a year ago at the Coba Medica Men's final,
I was on the way and I facetimed her and
I was like, let's make a bet if Columbia loses
and you have to wear the Argentina jersey on air.
Just so happened. There was a goat in the studio
that like Pete on the jersey, So Melissa as she
(00:50):
wore an Argentina which is so disrespectful, by the way,
talk to the goat. Okay, every single Argentinian ancestor was
like rolling in their grave when that happened. Girl, I
was rolling in my grave at theme. Anyway, she wore
that jersey on air and Argentina jersey repped it. Yep,
I did, and it was painful but sweet revenge, baby,
(01:11):
because this year Argentina Women's played against Columbia Women's in
the semi final of the Copamedica Women's Copamitica. Yeah, and
they only won in penalties. Okay, miss, Only a win
is a win. And we did watch it live with
each other while she was in Japan, so she watched
it in the morning and then I was here in
the United States. Yeah, we literally faced on each other
(01:33):
and I had the game on another screen and I
even texted coming though. Before the game, I said, Okay,
we're gonna do this, bet, get ready to lose, get
ready to wear the jersey, and get ready to sing
a song and pay your duce. Oh god, that was
hellic confident. And so with that all being said, first
before we have her sing the song, let's introduce to
you also this Colombian festival. Oh yeah, we're having a
(01:55):
Columbia party. Yeah, I mean twist my arm. So we're
gonna take one bite and then we're gonna start singing too.
So I'm gonna give you that. That's the thing with
my mouth. Pho my, I'll let you cheer a little bit. Okay,
So which one do you want? This happened? We have
to sample it? Look at that. Okay. So the song
(02:18):
is Ryan Castro if you know, you know, because it
was the song of the summer last year and today
comedy has to sing it. She had to actually learn
it because the other day when I spoke to her,
she did not know the lyricist song yet. But are
you ready? Did you chew yet? Did you know? Do
you need some refreshing a? Yeah? What do you have there?
I got a Columbiana and Manana. I'll tell you Columbia,
(02:42):
good choice, thank you. I actually like Columbiana way better
than Mansana, especially which is mixed Columbiana with with beer
that the spots my grandma's like favorite trink. Amazing. Okay, Mommy,
are you ready? I think so. I need to look
at your lips though, because I'll fuck this up. Ready
you wait? Okay, Mammy Brendel, no memoist. Away, let's say
(03:10):
come colla my Dalin, No Mammy bred no memoralist go
hell scene where Dalin Dando? So I love it? Yeah?
(03:37):
So wait, so tell me about the final was insane? Okay?
While I do that? Have a okay? Okay, So it
was heartbreaking to say the are solid. It's I love
them just my fag any time of the day, anything,
anytime of okay. So so, Colombia lost to Brazil in
(04:02):
the Coba Medica Women's Final. Congratulations to Brazil. I have
to say pay my respect because it's their ninth consecutive
Coba Medica title, ninexecutive. Yeah, and it was a thriller,
a screamer, a roller coaster of emotions this game. Uh,
it had a record viewership and it was a game
that ended up being four to four, and then they
went into extra time and then they went into penalty kicks,
(04:24):
and then those penalty kicks, Columbia lost five to four.
But you saw a bit of everything. It was just
like a fascal of like athleticism and like we go
lassos in like precision. It was insane. I mean Martha goals. Yeah,
you know, you had some really great build up goals.
You had Lazy Santos who scored an incredible free kick.
(04:46):
That's the one that was over and around like like
four of the ball, and that's her specialty. That's she
doesn't end the style. But which is crazy to me
is thirty nine year old Martha who is like the
ultimate goal, the ultimate legend. She comes in on as
a and she scores two goals and she's the one
who really lifted up that Brazilian team because Columbia. Columbia
(05:07):
had it and they were twenty seconds away from lifting
the title until Martha struck that ball. Like it hurts
every time I think about it, but it's crazy because
it's it's saddening to say this that like Colombia national
team men's and women's have lost so many finals and
(05:28):
it's actually been a huge topic of conversation in Colombia.
And I actually got asked this question in my DMS
the other day, like why is it that like we
can't steal the deal because we have MESSI I mean fat,
I mean, yeah, you do have messy. We don't got messy.
But it's just like one, you can't compare the men's
(05:52):
to the women's team. You can't compare that. But I
wanted to make this point in that one. I'm super
proud of the women's Columbia national team. They have done
in such few years is absolutely incredible. Now when I
think about like top tier like women's football, I think
of Columbia. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, and they've competed really well.
(06:12):
At the twenty twenty three Women's Old Cup in the Olympics,
they were leading against Spain and dropped that lead in
loss to Spain, like the talent is there, However it
seems like like we just can't keep the lead and
we lose grasp of our mentality and of our football.
And I think that over time. You know, a lot
of people Columbia are blaming that these loss of finals,
(06:36):
both men's and women's national team is because of the
lack of mentality, like they are saying it's like mentally
which makes a losing mentality, which I don't believe is
true at all. I think that winning is something that
you build over the course of years. Keep in mind
that this women's national team, when I was on it,
we tied Brazil actually in the final. We lost some
(06:56):
points in the whole tournament. But why I'm saying is
this is because you build DNA over the course of time.
The US one's national team is where they are today
is because they've built over the course of thirty forty
years of where they are now, and they've always had
that DNA and that mentality of winning. And I think
that Colombia has a talent and will continue to build
(07:19):
and continue to learn from your mistakes. You learn from
your losses, and I think this one as the new
generation of players continues to grow, to perform, to compete
in these top class tournaments and top class leagues. Columbia
will left the title. And I have one former teammate.
(07:41):
Her name is Carlina Pinea, and she has an academy
in Kaalie, Columbia. Even when I was playing with her
on my team, this is over ten years ago, she
would say. Since then she saw the talent that was
being created in Columbia with the youth teams and the
young girls. She said, Colombia is going to lift a
title one day. They are going to win. Are gonna
They're gonna win. I think. Also one of the beautiful
(08:04):
things about Columbia is that the country supports both teams
in a way that like, it's it's really nice to
see because Ianina does not support the female team like
Columbia supports. It's true, yeah, and it's it's really beautiful
to see. Not only because it it like, uh supports
all of the hard work and effort that these ladies
(08:24):
are putting into the sport and like in the way
that they're positively representing the country, but also it continues
to attract even better talent and like motivate everyone to
be better, not just you know, the girls that are
in there doing it for the passion of the sport too,
but it brings it adds another layer of like support,
even if it's just a community support. That that is
(08:47):
really nice to see because you don't see it in
every other country, No you don't. And it's growing. Archisina
is growing. Yeah, you know which is is it's great progress.
But you're completely right about that. Yeah, Like they don't
fans and support the women's team as much as Columbia does,
but it will only continue to improve. I think it's
just a matter of time. It's a matter of time
unless you're playing on the final against Argentina. But yes,
(09:09):
we're gonna win. That ain't happen in that. And the
congratulations because ka who was the goalkeeper of Columbia, won
the award of Goalkeeper of the Tournament and there was
a really special video at the end of the game
where obviously she was distraught, but Mark that went up
to her on live TV and like just gave paid
her respect to her, which is huge because Kata Tapia
(09:30):
I used to play with her at the time. She
never had made it to our full national team and
I don't know if it was because she wasn't developed
yet as a player or if she was younger. I
can't remember the exact reason why, but like talent wise,
the other goalkeepers were above her. She used to be
on the s MAP, which is like the national Guard
(09:50):
in Colombia. Like literally there are photos of her in
like full on national guard. The year she was in
the police force, she was national guard. She was a
bodyguard the ship. Yeah, no, I would have with her, yeah,
like damn yeah. So it's an incredible story that she
left that I'm letting nothing through. Literally, I've been training
for this my whole life, for real, and it showed.
(10:12):
It showed in the tournament. And it's a beautiful story
because it shows that with the right support, with the
league that formed in Columbia, she was able to finally
leave her job as like a part of the force
to become a goalkeeper full time athlete. And look where
she is now and she's playing professionally in Brazil. So
just a really cute story and inspiring story I wanted
(10:33):
to share with y'all because we need more of that,
and it's pretty badass. That is badass. Yeah, I have
a question for you. I heard that to be a
goal keeper you have to be a little bit crazy. Absolutely,
why oh, because like you are part of a team,
but at the same time, it's almost like you're sometimes
(10:54):
on your own and you have to deal with a
lot of pressure, so much pressure. Yeah, and I'm not
gonna lie. Majority of the goalkeepers that I've had as
teammates are a little weird in a good way, but weird.
Whether it's like they're like goofy, or whether they're like awkward,
or whether they're like, I don't know, just different than
the other ten players on the field or on the roster.
(11:17):
They just are different, but in like the most fun,
cool way or spectful way possible. But it's true, and
players will say it, like you got to be a
little bit crazy to be a goalkeeper. Yeah, well there
you go. Yeah. Well Millie and I I'm so happy
that you're back, thanks dude, Because she went to Japan.
(11:38):
I did what was your favorite part about going to Japan?
Literally we were just talking about this. We were like,
we're like the only two like crazy girls that like
are like she got back yesterday from Japan. I got
back yet last night like at nine pm, actually, like
ten pm. From Tennessee. Yeah, and we're like, hey, like,
let's just record a podcast. Like she walked in my
bed was not made. I have my luggage on my
(12:00):
tread because I have no space in my apartment, like
it was just in my houses in shambles. I have
like dishes in the sink. I'm like, we're having a
Columbia party. It doesn't matter, just come through. I love
it though, because like it's because we don't see it
as work. We see it as we get to connect
with you all as our listeners and also take advantage
of the fact that we're in the same city. And
my flight from Tokyo it was direct here to JFK
(12:23):
to New York. So I'm like, we do in a podcast.
So while I'm here for twenty four hours, she's only
here on jet Live. But that's okay. No, Tokyo was
wait do you want do you want more? Yeah? I
want to ban No. Here we go yellow and yellow
and with that Jersey girl, rate it, rate it. It's
(12:44):
a little cool, a little it's not hot, so I
don't know if it's a fair waiting Oh here it's
fae Okay. So my trip to Tokyo my favorite thing
was the food. Oh, can we have a moment for
Japanese food? Pun I love the footy Doka varieties. So
you get there, which is like the little potters and
stuff that you put on the rice. Yes, oh my gosh.
(13:05):
And then so I went to three cities, Tokyo, Osaka,
and Okinawa, Andina was looked in San Island. Yeah, it's
like a two hour flight from Tokyo. The most one
of the most beautiful beaches, pristine beaches, just so clean.
It was gorgeous. You know another thing that I learned
The sun hits hard in Japan. The sun girl, like,
(13:28):
you're from Miami. Yeah, I grew up in South Florida.
Columbia gets hot too. Yeah, there is no comparison to
Japanese sun. At least I have fire a sunscreen out there.
They do beuty products. I hit up don Quixote, which
is like the ten floor Marshall Splash Walmart of Japan.
That's so random that it's called that. I know, right,
(13:48):
That's what I thought to it. Christians like, where are
we were at don Quixota? What the hell is this?
I was like, don't worry. I found it off TikTok
and they sell all the beauty products I need to
buy right now for like hell a cheap. So then
you're gonna come back and you're gonna tell us which
ones you loved. Yeah okay, yeah, what else have you?
How have you been? I've been, you know, running around,
traveling quite a bit, just like over the weekends and
(14:10):
stuff like I didn't travel for the first like chunk
of the summer. I think, actually you're lying. I felt
like I traveled, I mean compared to you, because you
travel all the time, like you're literally like never home.
I was traveling a little bit, and then I like
slowed down, and then now I'm starting to pick back
up with my travels, counting down the dates to go
to the Bad Money concert, excited, planning my outfit. That's
(14:33):
gonna be talk about fomo right now, by the way,
like the Bad Bunny concert videos. Oh my god, I'm
just ready to be like the Street. I don't care.
I don't care. When I was given birth to the
doctor took me out the womb and said this woman
was meant to be. When the Street at the Bud
Money concert, and that's exactly what I'm gonna be. Okay,
(14:56):
no shame, in the game. Absolutely not, So I'm honestly
just counting down the days for that. And like in
New York City, this summer has been incredible. My friends
are all complaining. They're like, oh my god, it's so hot.
I'm like, ninety eight degrees. Let's go outside, rex, except
I walk them only in the shade because the payment
gets hot. But yeah, I've been, you know, after I've
recovered from food poisoning, I've been hitting up my shaken espresso. Okay, no,
(15:22):
I've been getting them from the store. Man, I haven't.
I want to learn how to make them. But like,
I'm also looking for an apartment. It's been kind of
like a crazy couple of a couple of weeks here
in New York City. But you know, just happy, happy
to be, you know, doing the thing. And at Peloton,
we've been I've been like off of the cycling and
tread schedule because they're redoing the studios. I am a
(15:45):
little nervous because the cameras are coming back in four K.
Like y'all have no business looking at me and detecting
that I forgot to wax my mustache. All right, you're
on cycling your makeup better? Be like no more under
I creasing like we used to get away with so much.
Like y'all have no idea, Like you get a culture
one day, you can't see it now. Oh my god,
(16:06):
I'm gonna have to call out be like emergency. There's
an emergency, why, ma'am? Because you all have four K installed.
Now that's why. Literally, a pimple on my forehead. Hey,
I'm a sick day, I'm ill. I cannot go into
work today. Oh my gosh. Four K. That's crazy crazy
and you're like sweating and stuff. But in chess pimple,
(16:27):
oh my god, because people will be like, oh, pimple
on our face. Whatever you get a chess pimple? Those
are real too. Okay, wait, so back to New York
apartment shopping because I've been in that situation before. How
crazy is it right now? Like tell me true, it's insane. Yeah, yeah,
it's just been. It's been. It's crazy. And I think, like,
(16:47):
I don't know, I'm ready to elbow. Which is in
the street give their line, give me your house, give
me your house? I think it depends, Okay, it depends
on on on what day you go, what you're looking
for and stuff. But I'm very confident that we're going
to find something and that Luciana and I have been
living in a one vener apartment for the four years
that we've been here and it's really nice. But like,
(17:08):
Millie and I are currently recording the podcast from my
house and last night I was like, hey, babe, it
was like ten in the ten at night. I was like,
by the way, Melissa's coming tomorrow to record the podcast.
He's like, you didn't tell me, and I was like, yeah,
I did, and I gave him attitude. He's like, you
literally didn't. I don't understand why you're giving the attitude.
And I was like, you're right, I'm so sorry. I
felt so bad and he was like, fine, I'll go
(17:29):
to the gym because he's like in the summertime, so
he has like, oh yeah, but I've been there. But
also I have to look for an apartment soon too
in Miami, because let's just talk about how frustrating one
moving is. But we just moved to Miami in November,
and all of a sudden, our building is like, oh,
(17:50):
you guys need to sign a new addendum to your weeks.
We're like, what are you talking about? We're here for
like another year, like fourteen months. And what happened was
that these owners are buying out this building for five
hundred million dollars and essentially we're gonna everybody is moving
out of the building because they're gonna knock down the
building and construct an ultra luxury another if Miami didn't
(18:15):
ready have enough ultra luxury place is to live another
building in Miami, and so we have to Also we've
been looking at apartments, So if any of y'all are
also looking for apartments in Miami, you let me know.
For Kammi yeah, oh god. Well, Melissa and I are
always booked and busy, and I think one of the
things that we wanted to talk about was like preventing burnout.
(18:37):
So we're going to come back after the break and
talk all about how to rest and recharge, okay, so
that you can put in that work and achieve everything
that you want to achieve. And during my back, during
this break, Commy's gonna eat another bite upon the bone
of my All Right, rest and reset. I feel like
(19:04):
like that's the mantra we need to We need to
invite more into our lives and maybe into your lives too.
The hustle culture is great, but sometimes it's not always healthy, right,
got me one hundred percent. So you know your your mind,
your body, you can only do so much. And I
(19:25):
feel like if you're a listener, you know whether you
are working like crazy, and then you also are balancing
life with exercise, maybe uh being a parent, maybe being
a caregiver, maybe balancing like the different elements of life
that's just thrown at you. But then you get to
a point and you're like, holy shit, I feel burnt out.
(19:47):
Yeah have you ever have you ever felt that? Have
you ever felt that? The damage? I think, yeah, it's it's
very it's super homand for everybody, like it's not just us,
but I think for me, like when I need rest,
I have learned to set boundaries. I was reading something
the other day that talks about like the different types
(20:08):
of rest that people need. Number one is like physical rest,
which is pretty obvious, like you're resting from your workouts,
you're resting from you're stretching, you're doing your recovery work.
You're literally just sometimes like being horizontal. Then there's like,
you know, emotional rests like mental rest where you're doing
potentially like meditations where you're disconnecting from work, where you
(20:31):
are going to therapy or are connecting with people that
like make you feel full. There's obviously other types of
rest as well, but I think one of the ones
that I have been really leading into has been like
rest from like stimulation, like cognitive rests, especially as it
(20:52):
pertains to social media. Yeah, because you could have a
day off, but you spend your whole day like on
your phone on TikTok, and you do not feel rested
at all. Matter of factly, you feel more stressed. You
feel more like you're not doing enough. You feel like
in Gassida, like you're like kind of like frozen in time. Lucian,
(21:17):
I'm looking at my kitchen table right now because it's
a disaster. But we bought in a thousand piece puzzle,
you guys. Yeah, and we have been like right before
we go to sleep, like we've been. It's tough because
like visually it's a lot, but like to like wind down,
we've been like putting together the puzzle. I love that,
little by little and it's like literally all over our
kitchen table, Like I have absolutely no idea when we're
going to finish it. But it's like a family, you
(21:39):
better finish it before you move. No, for real, we
have a couple of weeks hopefully, so we've been like
focusing on that and like the best I talk about
this all the time, but like the best thing that
I did was like get an app blocker because at
least it calls you out and like you should be
off your phone at this point. Like the worst thing
that app blocker did was introduce pausing it because I've
been pausing it like crazy, but it's still better than
what used to happen. Like my time, like my screen
(22:02):
time has reduced so much. Yeah, I'm jealous. Yeah, I
need to follow that. So I've been focusing on that.
So it's not just like the physical rest for me.
For me, it's more it's more so the like the
mental rests. Yeah, I one hundred percent agree. I just
got back from Japan, right and while I was first
(22:23):
there of course, like I was there with a campaign
with Japan Airlines and Liverpool Football Club, so I already
knew going there that like I'm not on a full vacation. Yeah,
Like I'm still creating content. I'm constantly like with either
of my account creating content because even when we're off, like
I'm not like working, but I'm creating content too. Yeah,
it's like you're never ending. And Christian tells me that too.
(22:44):
He was like, you need to like pause, you need
to you know, obviously be present, which I try to be.
You actually do do a good job at like recording
things and posting it later though, yes, but it also
throws people off. Yeah, a lot of people. I don't care.
So when I was in and my first priority, of
course because of my job, was let me grab content
(23:05):
and film content what I need to do for my work.
But do I really need to be posting? I no,
Like why would I have to be posting unless it's
a part of my job, which like it wasn't like
the date wasn't there where like le Japan Airlines in
Liverpool or like you need to post on this date.
And so I was like, you know what, like let
me just get off the grid for a bit, Like
I don't want to post because, like you said, it's
(23:29):
like my own way of disconnecting and helping me stay
present with my husband with where we are, because when
are we else going to be in Japan for? Right now?
The time being, and so for me, that's my way
of I guess, not app blocking, because yes, was I
still like on the app from time to time. And
don't get me wrong, like TikTok is a great research
(23:52):
utility for traveling. I found a lot of stuff on Instagram,
most on TikTok. So was I on it, Yes, for sure,
but I just tried to like stay off of it
in for my own personal reasons, which which was great.
And I feel like I have to do it more consistently,
and like I've been telling you this, I feel like
for a month and I feel stupid saying it, But
I definitely need to do more of an app blocker
(24:13):
because when I tried, I just would pause it, I
would get out of it. Yeah, I definitely need to,
you dedicate myself to doing that. I think commitment one
of the things that like as women, I don't see
people talk about often is also like balance in your
relationship too, Like obviously we're badass women, like we're entrepreneurs.
(24:34):
We're people who have chosen to put our career first
for a certain part of our lives. Obviously we both
have goals, so like have our own families and things
like that. But I think right now we're in a
place where we really just want to focus on our careers,
and that can also lead to putting your relationship to
the side sometimes too, and like let's be real, like
(24:56):
our boys need time, and like it's also little disrespectful
for us to be always on our phones, always working,
always doing these things. And like sometimes I like in
the past, like when I first like started transitioning into
this space, like I would find myself like being like
the dad you know in the movies, the Dad's like,
(25:16):
hold on, I gotta take this call. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
And then I was like, no, no, no, I don't want
to I don't want to do that, right, So I'd
be like, hey, I'm off the grid. Like I now,
I've like made an effort to like if I'm going
on vacation, vacation not like work travel, like I'm going
to be like more off the grid, which has been
really nice. And I think that something else that I
(25:37):
have come not come to terms with, but like have
definitely been prioritizing more is also like family time and
time with friends, because for me, I struggled with like
setting aside the time to like do things with people
that I love, and then I find myself like looking
back on like my summer or my the last couple
(25:58):
of months and be like, oh, I like barely hung
out with my friends, or like I barely got to
do any of these things. And hanging out with friends
and just chilling and like having a conversation, playing a
board game, going to the movies or whatever it is
also makes you feel full and like feeds the creative
energy that you need to like go out there and
do like amazing things. It's so crazy how fast time flies.
(26:22):
You don't realize it, but then all of a sudden
it hits you, like holy shit, like where did these last?
When was the last time I saw my like the
certain friend, or sometimes I think like especially because as
Latinas or Latinos, we have very tight knit families, and
I'm like, holy shit, like when was the last time
I saw this ant or that ant or that uncle
(26:42):
you know? And I think back, I'm like, oh my gosh,
we're all getting older, and it almost makes me like nostalgic,
but then also emotional thinking about how can we make
the most use of our time? And I think that
goes into like rest and reset because, like you said,
when you're spending time with your loved one, to your family,
your friends, it helps you gain that like that it's
(27:04):
like food for your soul. You know, it's time for
your soul in order to recharge your battery. And sometimes
I'm like, when I'm in the grind of everything and
I finally get home, I have this feeling of like, man,
I want to go home home, like I want to
see my parents, I want to see my grandma, I
want to see my brothers. Like I get that urge
of just like that's my reset, you know what I mean,
(27:26):
More than flung across the world to Tokyo, you know,
it's more like I need that family time as part
of my my reset. I think too, as there's a
balance too, because as Latinos there's like the hustle culture,
especially as immigrant families in the United States too, So
it's not just like, oh, like I reset with my family.
(27:46):
A lot of Latino families in the United States have
like smaller families, right, So maybe if I were to
live in Argentina, I would have more family events to
attend that would make me feel a little bit more
like connected. But because sometimes I'm far away, then I'm like, oh, well,
like I can just like work, or I can just
pick up this gig or this activation or this opportunity,
like I could travel every weekend in August or whatever.
(28:08):
But like if I were with my if I had
my family nearby, you know, like Monday night, I would
probably go visit my abula, I would probably like go
see my ta or like help them out with something.
And I think as like Huszle culture in like Latino
communities in the United States especially, like it's very easy
for us to put our health to the side, like
not go to our doctor's appointments, go to the urgent
(28:28):
care visits only instead of primary care physician. You know,
like stop taking care of yourself, like exercise less even
to like not work out, not take care of our bodies,
put everybody else first, and not like take care of
like the things that we need, even as it pertains
to like like food and stuff. Like culturally too, like
(28:48):
what you consume also determines like how you rest right.
So like let's say you're like drinking more alcohol before
you go to sleep, You're not gonna have a good
night's sleep. Or you're like consuming a lot of sugar
right before, or like you're not paying attention to the
things that you need to recover I think too. One
last thing that I want to say about like rest
and recovery, Like can you talk a little bit about
(29:10):
like overuse injuries or like a time that we like
physically like as an athlete, like, oh yeah, put a
share amount of injuries that I've had that I over
exerted my body in every way, single form. It was
because of that, I guess if you would compare it
to this day and age, like that hustle mentality, but
also when you're an athlete and you're competing for a spot,
(29:31):
you don't want to stop. You don't want to rest,
even though your body's sometimes telling you to. And I
paid the consequences of that definitely with pulled muscles, with
the knee injury, even with the Achilles tear, and it's
it can't coper it because I was also fighting for
a starting spot and also training for a World Cup.
But I do want to say is like you do
(29:53):
have to listen to your body. And one of my
biggest regrets looking back then, when I was, you know,
a competing athlete, was not always one listening to my body,
to advocating and fighting for myself to get the right
type of care doctor's visits. And three just like making
sure that with those doctor's visits I would be doing
(30:17):
stuff to help those or prevent those injuries. Is like
the preventative work, you know, and about like rest and reset.
Why this makes so much sense because when I look
back when my injuries happened, I feel like, not only
was it because of you know, the overuse, but it
was also because of mentally where I was, and it
was very stressed, very mentally stressed. And stress can be
(30:41):
very taxing on you know, your emotions, but also your body,
and you don't realize it that sometimes say you do
get injured, you're like, holy crap. I thought I felt
like okay, my body felt okay, but your mind wasn't.
And I learned that eventually that if your mind isn't okay,
like in sync with your body, it could throw a
lot off balance. And that's essentially, in my opinion, some
(31:04):
of the reason why I kept on getting injured a lot,
like muscle pulls and then obviously my achilles terrified. What
about you like with over use and having to put
a pause, Yeah, I think my overuse injuries primarily came
from running when I was training for like a marathon
or something like that. And like also like I used
to cycle a lot, Like I've always taught cycling for
(31:27):
pretty much in my entire like stint in fitness, it's
then like a short term or a long term stance
is short, okay, my long journey in fitness anyway, that's
my THEMBO. So I was always moving like spruntal plane
(31:50):
cycling and running, cycling and running, cycling, running, wasn't prioritizing
strength training, So that's what led to overuse injuries. And
then I learned to like you know, navigate around that
as I started going to pet and things like that.
But I think primarily for me, like one of the
things that affected my training the most was my mentality.
Like I'm very open about the issues that I've had
with my body and the way that I used to
(32:10):
train and the things that you know, I went through.
There's a whole episode on my body image journey and
like body positivity as well. If you guys haven't listened
to it, make sure and that you go listen to it,
because I open up a lot about these things. But
for me, I was very like cardio forward, like I
just wanted to be flaka, Like, yes, I lifted weights,
(32:31):
Yes I went to the gym, but at the same
time I was doing so much cardio. I was not resting.
I was like sometimes I would do like two hours
of cardio a day. Oh my god, when I was
hanging out with my friends that were doing bodybuilding, because
that's what they were doing to like shred before competition building.
Fuck it, I'm not going to compete, but I just
do two hours of cardio. Yeah. So I was like
I would go to dance practice, then I would go
(32:55):
run four miles, and then I would go to the
gym on foward. And that was like every day I
was so miserable. My energy was drained, my homeowonnes were
fucked up. I stopp getting my period, Like there were
so many different things that were happening to me. Today
I'm doing so much less and the results that I'm
seeing in my body, like I feel so much stronger,
so much better, Like my body composition is something that
(33:17):
I'm very proud of that that makes me like look
in the mirror and be like hey, like but you
look good, like like I love who you are. And
that's not to say that I like way less than
I did. Then. It's just a couple of things happened.
Number One, I changed obviously, healed my relationship with myself,
which is extremely important. But also I prioritize the things
(33:38):
that I know matter and in a way that was
going to lead me to, you know, have the best results.
And when I was doing all these things and like
training so much on like under eating, that's also when
I was like binge eating like I would come home.
Of course, bitch, you're so fucking hungry. You did like
five hours of fucking cardio. So you're saying I don't
want more at it, But I don't want more at it.
(34:00):
The next one is like verything that has walle in it.
I just fed her. How is it okay? Sorry to
interrupt you. You were on a rent and I love it. Continue?
Can you continue? All that to say is that now
(34:22):
I have a really great balance, Like I run, I lift,
and then I go to work and I do the
things that I need to do. At work, I feel
my body and the way that I feel is centered
like I I can't even tell you, like the last
time that I had like an episode where I needed
to like binge eat like I used to like when
(34:44):
I felt like a sudden urge they have to devour everything,
or that I felt bad about myself. I feel very
confident and very powerful. And I think that's also because
I'm allowing myself to rest, I'm allowing my body to recover,
and I'm allowing myself to show up in the ways
that feel right for me. And I'm paying attention to
what my body's telling me versus like forcing my body
(35:05):
to do something that is not natural is not what
I wants to donna, is gonna just lead to injury,
and like mental like mental dreaming and physical dreaming. So
I have a question. Do you think it's more now
because of quality over quantity? One hundred percent? Yeah, quality
over quantity. And then also yeah, that's it, Okay. I
(35:33):
also have another question, though, do you ever feel guilty,
whether it be with your app blocker and like not
responding to notifications or disconnecting all the time? Yeah, And
how do you deal with that guilt? Because I know
our listeners probably either a have just have disconnected or
like have just put their phone aside, or we are
(35:53):
looking to do that because they are feeling like they
need to. But how do you deal with that sort
of guilt of always having to be on being responsive,
taking care of X y Z. Be it your grandma,
you're Auela, your I don't know, kids, your whatever is
going on in your life, your job? How do you
get away from that guil? Well, when it comes to
(36:16):
my family, I always like I have to respond. Sometimes
I forget, but I never feel bad when like people
like follow up and I always follow up with people too,
Like my friends, I'm annoying sometimes, like I'll FaceTime you
three times until you answer yeah, And I don't feel
bad about that. It's also like a part of like
(36:37):
who I am. When it comes to like social media
and things like that, I just physically like can't can't. Yeah,
there's a certain amount of time that I can like
spend on that. I think we have gone from a
place where we used to create more to a place
where we're just consuming so much. One of my recent
(37:01):
goals has been to create more, which is why, like
I've picked up hobbies. I've made an effort to like
instead of just like sitting and like watching TV at night,
like setting some time aside to do to do some
hobbies and like spend time in my room like either
writing or journaling or drawing or singing or whatever it
is that I want to do that has led me to,
(37:23):
you know, create cool things that make me feel proud
of myself, even if it's just creating or building a
puzzle of that. So I've been I've been in that.
There's obviously like things that I consume that I love,
and like I do spend a lot of time on
TikTok too, I'm not I feel like I'm better than
anybody like I this spends a lot of time on
fucking TikTok. Like, let's just be real. I love tiktalk,
(37:45):
but I do make an effort to like try to
create more than I consume. Now, that's a great point
that you made, because I feel as of recent I
want to say, like the last six months, I've been
consuming more than creating. Yeah, but I think it's all
because one, like there's just way more less you said
content to consume. And also like work wise, it's like
you're doing all this your work. So say you know
(38:07):
your repels on shock We create for work too, Oh
hell yeah, And I'm constantly studying for soccer games and
traveling and all this stuff, and like sometimes like I
don't have the energy to create, like I just need
to consume right now. And also you can also create
just for you, yeah, like and like have space where
you're just like doing something for you. Yeah, I like,
even if it's just like ceramics or something that makes
(38:28):
you feel like connected with yourself, because I think that
when I feel the most rested is actually when I
feel not necessarily like physically rested, but the most like
connected with myself mentally and with like the things that
I'm actually doing at this point in time, rather than
like thinking about all the things that I have to do.
(38:50):
And I think too, like when it comes to like
connecting with people on social media, it's just extremely hard
to keep up with with like message and stuff. I
try to respond as much as possible, but it's just
one of those things that if it's like mentally not
good for me to be on social media all the time,
(39:12):
just like you know, for you guys listening, like you
know that that's just not healthy for our attention spans
for all these different things. It's better for us to
get inspired in some ways and then just go out
there and like create things for our communities, for ourselves,
for our families, or create space for people to have fun.
And that's with our personal for sure. But if you
(39:34):
do want to hit us, hit us up in our
DMS on Astabaja Podcast, we do have a wonderful human
being named Aleiha and she's been helping us with creating
content for our account and also super responsive on our
dms because we love to hear your questions and comments
and feedback, which we've been getting a lot of great ones. Yes,
and we did a whole segment on the humanity segment,
(39:54):
which we'll do more of, and I think that's also
a really healthy way for us to respond to questions
and stuff like that. That is is very very like
feeling for everyone's cup because we're like everyone's connected. Yeah,
in that way for sure, we all need help sometimes
and we're all a team. And I just want to say, like,
we really appreciate you all for being part of this
(40:17):
and being part of this journey and hitting us up
and connecting with us, even if it's through social media.
So with that being said, let's toss the break and
then we come back. Yeah, we're gonna make you famous, baby,
(40:38):
welcome back. We are here at our Aga Famosa segment. Melie.
You ready to hear about some Latin music. I am as.
I want to start with some really great news because
I'm I love the vocalist and coming out with her
(40:59):
own album, which is I'm super hype about that Love
more to come. But we're super excited about that, Like
I'm a big fan and I'm just you know, excited
to hear more. There's also an Argentinian artist called Media Madniss,
which I love her. I have to say that I
do love her music. I listen to her music. She
(41:20):
just dropped a new album what kind of genre? Sorry
and pop? Okay, She just dropped a new album called
betafect Us. The album is I'll call out to the
industry for women to have to like appear a certain
way and also talk about like the pressures of women
in the industry. I do have to say, especially for
(41:41):
Argentinian artists, it's absolutely insane for female artists, the pressure
that they are under to look a certain way, to
act a certain way, to look perfect, to be perfect. Yes, yes, yes,
yes yes, I would love to have seen this album
and maybe it's coming Yeah, it is coming, but I
would have loved this album to come along with a
(42:04):
bit of an even more this contract version. How do
you say English? Great question? Polish like a less polished,
more authentic and relatable version of Emilia rather than like
such a polished even marketing for it. I feel like
it doesn't match with the message that maybe that's just
(42:26):
a note for the marketing team.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Yeah, Like if I'm hearing an album about how it's
too much to be perfect, don't give me a perfect
image that's been photoshoped.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
Like, I want to see the raw, I want to
see the emotion. I want to see it, and I
hope that it's coming. I think because there has been
feedback about this on social media, I think that they'll
probably pivot and move towards something a little bit more
like that. But like, my hope is that this can
make a change. And I do feel her because as
somebody who comes from my Hendina like it's it's just
(42:55):
the pressures are insane, like let alone any woman. Yeah
in the Latin music stress talk to us about that exactly, which,
by the way, listen to that episode of CHESCA Incredible
episode episode number two three four, something like that one
of our first ones. Yeah, but she talked a lot
about about a lot about body image and dealing with
(43:15):
her surgeries, with her hair, with her scalp. Yeah, number,
and like fighting against that type of how do you
say that, Like fighting against the norms of the stereotypes
of like society in the music industry. I think I'm
really excited to see what they do with this, for sure,
So stay tuned, pay attention, and maybe we'll all be
(43:36):
very pleasantly surprised. Cool. I love that got me for mine?
Are you ready? Yes? So I have a few mix
of soccer and basketball. On the soccer side of things
this summer, we enjoyed Women's Buddy, We enjoyed men's Fuddy,
but more specifically, you know, Coba Medica. Final numbers were
through the roof for the women's Coabomedica and the women's Ue,
(44:00):
which was also an insane final and a really great tournament.
Fox announced that it was the most washed women's soccer
game in English language US tele digit history for that final.
For the final, the euro drawing one point three to
five million viewers, which is fifty three percent since the
(44:22):
comparison to the twenty twenty two Women's euro Final. So yeah, huge,
huge news and the continuation and the progress of the
growing women's game. Trinity Rodman, who played for the Washington Spirit,
finally came back after dealing with a back injury for
quite some time. She's been in and out, but she's
been out for months from the Washington Spirit. She came
(44:44):
back over the weekend. She scored in her game bag
and she cried, and in her postgame interview she let
out her emotions just talking about how hard it's been
to be away from the team and the game. She's
such a young player and going through a back injury,
which is not normal. Yeah, so congrats trend. She's also
a wonderful person and player. And then if you follow,
(45:07):
and you should be following the w NBA, which I
need to personally follow more of. Over the weekend, we
have some big news. Minnesota Links have acquired the Dallas
Wing Star to Jane Carrington. The Links in the last
championship they lost to the New York Liberty, which, by
the way, one of the games prior to that final,
I was at the Liberty game which was insane last year.
(45:30):
So yeah, she's amazing. If you haven't gone to a
Liberty game, Go to Liberty game, or to any of
these WNBA games, because they are certainly lit. But the
links they have been on fire this season. They're far
and away number won the league in terms of wins,
and they aren't on the hunt to get that championship trophy.
(45:51):
And of course with this trade, with this acquisition of Djena,
it could be a really important pillar in stepping stone
to doing it, to lifting the title. So if you're
not watching WNBA, you're missing out. These women are continuing
to put on a show show, and women's basketball likewise,
women's football like wise, women's sports in general, is growing
(46:11):
and we're all happy to be part of it. So
stay tuned. I'm gonna keep you know, keep you in
the loop of all the news. But tune in, tune
in that TV, tune in that streaming app, because you'll
certainly see how awesome and empowering it is to watch it.
I feel like I should have highlighted a Colombian artist
for the our Columbian party. That's true. Do you have
(46:32):
any Columbian artists that you're like, absolutely loving, like any
songs right now from Columbian artists. There's this one song
that just came out with Copple, who we love obviously
with Ryan Castro. Oh okay, I don't ask me to
helmmet because I don't know what yet, but I listened
to it this morning. I'm I'm obsessed. Jay Balvin has
a new oh the mixtape the Jay Balvin I love
(46:53):
that he has and also oh me, like the O
song is like kay okay is like my ge Right now,
I'm totally spaced out on that lit So make sure
that you listen to j Balbin's new album, which I
feel like he has been steadily releasing music, but it's
been like, I mean since he like dropped an album
and like, I'm really excited about this like new album
(47:14):
situation me too. Yeah, I think that's it all right,
So we're back to the food. As you could see,
there's a few bites in all of them, and we're
gonna end this episode on Camilla rating the Colombian delights?
Do you want? Should I do? Like one one to five?
Is five of them? One time? Oh? Like each one? Yeah?
(47:35):
Or like number one on the list, number two? Three?
Oh yeah, let's write them. So right now, there's four
things on the list, but let's make it five with
the Columbiana This is it. That's a drink. I know,
I'm gonna leave the drink last because I'm here about that.
Oh really I like carbs, like okay, John Bread here. Honestly,
(47:55):
the final today was like very impressive. Really, I'm going
to rate it. And Banana number one it's really good,
right is yeah? Okay? And but number one I'm gonna
rate number two. Then Bana's number one because it has
chicken in it and it's so delicious and like it's like, honestly,
(48:17):
like how do you put that number one on? The
one was definitely number one really? Oh yeah, maybe because
they had met and I was like protein heavy. I
have only one is all the time though, But that
one is number two because he never lets me down.
A Bono is like somebody you can always count on.
She'll always be there. Care is number three because I
love a little salty sweet moment and has Baba in it.
(48:38):
And I don't know if that's traditional to like Colombia,
but like I am from Miami, so anything with Guaba
automatically has my ember. And then number five is that
if I feel like it was a little dry and
oh yeah, that's dry and then number six will be
the Colombiana just you know, because it's not bread. Let's
just be real. What do you think? Mm hmm, I'm
(49:04):
I'm the one first place, huh, second place and third
place this come, come and listen. Actually Columbiana goes before
that dry ass. Yeah.
