mind in the gutter at all.
Speaker 4 (12:58):

of spicy, it's bomb.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I make some good yeah, and that's I'm more of
like a green sauce type of girl.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Since trying all this new food, like it has there
become a culture like food that would say was kind
of nearing the top of your list now that you
wouldn't have thought.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know what, Damn, that's hard because I feel like everything.
But when I went to talking about not just because
you know, but when I went to Las Vegas and
it's called oh my gosh, I can't think of the
name sah Sa. You eat that there? It's a Mexican
and Filipino fusion, and that's when I kind of it
(13:47):
was delicious. There was a ten pound burrito, y'all, and
that's what I like. The Filipino. The Filipino bacon was delicious.
So I think for that, it's like before we went
to the Philippines, we had gone there. Now it eased
me and when I was like, oh, it's actually really
good food, maybe because it was like Mexican and Filipino,
but in reality, to introduce you to that, like to
(14:08):
introduce me to it's like that first step, I'm like, oh, damn,
this bacon is bombed. Yeah, so yeah, it's nice and thick.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Bacon about Filipino man bacon.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Bake bacon, Pilippines. I love. I love the people to
be honest, so nice. The food of course what we've
gone and his family, his dad and his brothers and
sisters live out there, but like the people were just
so nice and so polite, and I think like that's
what it was, just a breath of fresh air going
(14:49):
and like you just good morning and like you know,
and like obviously what's time you say good morning again?
And see there's set up was good learn because you know,
I'm always eating. But yeah, I would probably say for sure.
(15:10):
The culture and they just people are just so amazing
and the beach out there, go to Boracai or to
so beautiful. I love it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That's you can live like Mexico City. Is that right?
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Literally it's called Mexico City.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Okay really And they only speak Spanish out there too, right, and.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah the words are very similar. Yeah, you know I
know that they had a Mexico City like nice.

Okay, so we gotta go. Yeah, going out there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Filipinos. They have fernandez Is. They have also Marquesa.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, a little bit of yeah crazy yo.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Do you ever feel guilty eating at these places? And
you're like, okay, I got to work out right now,
I gotta not eat for another day.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You know what I've learned, even before doing the Foodie Show,
I had learned to like just portion everything. I could eat.
Everything is just how much of it do I eat?
Because even when I was like, oh, I'm on a
diet and I'm trying to eat like keto or whatever,
I would just eat a lot of it. So I've
learned it's all portion control. So I taste everything, and
I feel fine, like I don't feel like i've you know,
(16:14):
like I have to worry about it, like I work
out and I still do my own thing. I'm just
like tasting it, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Sometimes it's so good though, you're like, I'm gonna finish.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'll finish it. Yeah, I'll finish. There's sometimes I'm taking it.
And I'm real good at leftovers and love overs. Love
leftovers because a lot of people are like my husband
doesn't like him. He's kind of like no one.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I used to be that way. Now I'm leftover gang.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Love it. Even my food a little cold, that's weird,
but I like it.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I don't mind that either.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Are you eating pizza like leftover pizza cold? Or are
you eating it up?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I'll bide into it maybe the first battle, oh it's cold,
and then I'll put it, you know, and in the
in the air dryer and the air dryer. Air dryer, girl,

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, I think it's cute. Yeah, we're switching it up.
They probably haven't seen it lately because we just unwrapped
it to rewrap it with like the new stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh wow, wow. Yeah, did you see the Selena documentary?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I have not watched it. I have not. How is
it is amazing?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's really good. Yeah, it's really good. And you know
her father just passed this.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Weekend on on Aby's birthdays. It's correct, Yeah, I think
it was.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
I think it was on eighties birthday if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I haven't talked to Ay in a while, but I
have not watching. You know why. I get really sad
around this time. So it's already like a heavy time
for me. So I think I need to be in
the right mindset because it's just it's so close. It's
so it reminds me of my dad, reminds me of
my mom. It's just so much that I'm like, I
haven't been able to watch it right now is just
you know, yeah, but I am. I need to watch it.
(23:03):
I've heard really good things about it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, you'll get to It'll get to it, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
And you know me, her dad be she's probably partying
when my mom. They're chilling, That's what I say. I
think they're having a great old time up there. They're chilling.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
They're having a better time than us, you know what
I mean. And I'm like, you know what, we should
all be so lucky.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, they're chilling, They're doing their thing.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, that's good for them, you know.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I also do want to talk about the family aspect.
You are such a big advocated for your siblings as well,
Like do it sometimes when they like snap back at
you or you just kind of like bro like little
do you know? Like I have so much I have
on you.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah. Now that they've grown up, it's so hard because
they got lip you know, and I'm just like, okay,
like I had to step back a little bit the dynamic.
And I'm honest, you know, I'm very transparent about everything.
I say it on my podcast as well, where I'm
like we were so close and maybe to a point
where it wasn't healthy because I think we were like
helping each other, like just through the grieving process of
(24:04):
just everything we had gone through. So they grew up,
and I wanted to keep holding on and save them
from everything, and that's just not realistic. Like it's like
they need to go and experience and live their life.
And I needed to accept that. So now it's like,
now it's not that second mother role. I've stepped into
the sister. And that was very difficult that year. March, April,
(24:28):
May June. Those months, oh my goodness, were so difficult
for me, Like I just needed to detach and let
go and just let them be. They're grown, you know. Johnny,
the youngest one is twenty four, you know, living on
his own, doing his own thing. So so yeah, now
when they we have a we had to have some
space in order to come back and respect each other
(24:49):
on a different level. So I think that's what happened,
and it's better. We had a great Thanksgiving and I
didn't think it was going to be like that thing.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh good good. Yeah we came back no attitude, no uh.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
No, thank goodness. I can no more now.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Like that, like friction and you know, side eyeing and arguing.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Thank god, no, I think we've we have a like
a mutual respect. I think if anything, when Johnny was
like going through that moment that time, like the you know,
teenage years, he tried and then I just had to
fix it, you know what I mean. I had to
just lay down, you know, I was I was going
to be I took I took down the door, I
put his mattress outside. I was very strict with him,
(25:28):
But I'm very proud of the young man I raised.
It's a good law.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Do you think there's anything that you would have personally
done differently being like this in the second mom role, M.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That's such a good question. A lot of things, actually,
I think now that I know, like healing myself, I
think it's so important. Obviously when you have kids, you
don't know like that they're not my kids, but they're
my kids, you know. So I just was dealing with
so much emotionally that I wish I would have taken
a little bit of time to just take care of
(26:01):
that and just understand what was going on here instead
of maybe sometimes taking it out on Johnny or Jenica
and being too overbearing. I was too overbearing. I was
like too over exactly, like no, like too overprotective, and
they felt like I need some space like you you won't,
you know? And I think I see that I got
that from my mom. My mom didn't know any better
(26:21):
I was. She was fifteen when she had me, so
it's like she wanted to keep me from making mistakes,
when in reality that's the only way we grow is
really like being out there and learning. So I was
very overbearing. I think I would have just stepped back
a little bit and like allowed them to be more.
They're pretty outspoken, but they're pretty outspoken, actually all of them.
But you know what I mean, I think, yeah, not
(26:42):
being so overbearing, I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah. And I think being overprotective, especially for a parent,
I think that comes from something that you went through
as a child and you having to protect yourself as
a child, Yeah, and being your own protection that kind
of bleeds into your adult life.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, for sure. For sure.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Is there a like a sibling that you have learned
from the most, would you say?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Janica? Probably? Yeah, my little Janica. She's a lot like me,
but like she at eighteen, she said, I'm out and
I didn't understand it. I was like, because I come
from like the old school tradition of like until you're
freaking married. And so when she came to me, she's like,
I'm ready to leave.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I'm like, wait, where's your husband?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah? You hold up? She said, I'm going to go
and I want to move to San Diego and I
want to like explore. And that was so brave for me,
and I was like, damn. And now I see her,
she's what twenty seven to twenty eight, and I'm like, damn,
so proud of her, Like she went out there. She's
always been very independent and granted I like we were
just talking about it like two days ago. She's like, sister,
(27:46):
thank you, Like you taught me a lot of the things.
And it's very hard for her to say it, but
she finally and thank god. She's like, sister, you taught
me a lot. A lot of the things is because
of you. And I'm like, girl, thank you. But also
I've learned from her a lot, a lot. Very smart
young lady.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yeah, thank you, but I thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I you because of me? Are they are? They all cooks?
As well? Does everyone cook?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Jennica is the like girl bakes, she cooks, she likes
all kinds of crazy things. I haven't gone that far
because I'm not a baker, because I'm more of like
a soul like type of like uh chef in the kitchen,
I'm like, I'm I'm gonna put this in there. I
have this, And she's a measure so everything's very precise,
and like baking is very precise. I'm just like, I'll
(28:33):
try you, but I don't know. It's just not my thing.
But yet, for sure, I would say Jenica and then Jackie.
Jackie doesn't really like to cook, but when she cooks,
it's pretty good. I've had her food. It's good.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
My mom was a mom cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Don't beat it for a week, week for a week,
thanks for a week.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You're so dropped in new album or ep? Right?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That was inspired by a spiritual trip? Is that what
I meant?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Something like that kind of spiritual trip?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh well, I think what started this whole spiritual thing
was just me understanding why, trying to understand why I
hadn't become a mother and healing like my relationship with
my mom and wanting to get myself ready emotionally and
then also detaching from my siblings and understanding them. So
I think it was just that was like the beginning,
(29:27):
which is like in March. So I went to retreat,
a psychedelics retreat, and I started that last year. That's
when it started, and everything just kind of started shifting
in my life and it changed my life. I'm like, okay,
it started April of last year, and then this year
I did Combo Combo, which is like a medicine from
(29:48):
a frog. It's basically poisoned. They don't kill the dogs,
they don't kill it, they don't kill.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
The frog, but like it's off of its body though, right, they.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Just kind of hold it down and it gets upset
and it like it releases. Yeah, so then they put
it on your body and you like it's a deep,
deep cleansed spiritual, emotionally and you know, in every way.
So I did that. I did three sessions of that.
It was pretty gnarly. It was the hardest thing I
had ever done in my life, but I would do
it again because I just felt just so refreshed and
(30:16):
it was difficult. It was one of the most difficult,
beautiful things I've ever done.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
So yeah, yeah, how much does it cost.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I want to go to the Amazons actually to do it,
like for real, for out there. But that's kind of
what I did. And then my music just everything started
changing for me. Like I I was like, I like,
I think I need a little bit of I thought
I was going to stop singing. That's what I was like,
I'm going to stop singing like it makes me feel
a certain way. But I'm like, no, I just needed
to take a step back and write what my soul
(30:49):
wanted to talk about, which was not about you know,
and me being heartbroken and all that. That worked and
it serves its purpose during that time, but now I
want to talk about the world and save it and
how can I help heal the world through the work
that I've been doing. So I think that's what kind
of changed everything. Like the album that's coming in March
is still in the same type of genre, which is
(31:10):
like pulp up pop folk, and you know, it's just
I needed to do it. I'm like, you know what,
like I need to just try this and and just
speak and seeing what my soul wants to do right now.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I think what you did. I think a lot of
rock stars have done that and a lot of musicians
have done that in the past, and have you know,
have came out of that with masterpieces, right, like the Beatles,
and you think of you know, so many more down
the line, even Michael Jackson, who was just on his
own yeah, you know, on his own trip, right, Like
there's there's there's masterpieces in there when you truly strip
(31:46):
away a lot that's been holding.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You back exactly, and it's just like it's hard. I'm
not saying go out there and do psychedelic I want
to promo be an adult. Yeah, you need to be
an adult. You need to do your research. It's serious.
It's like you it's not just gonna go party like,
it's not that. It's very it's it's a medicine and
and you have to respect it is so and that's
what I did, and and it just really strips you
and like shows you who you really are and your
(32:10):
authentic self and you sit there and you're healing. I
don't even know how to explain what it is. Yeah,
it's crazy and everything just you see the world differently
and you appreciate everything versus I think for a long
time I was on survival mode, like I have to
do this because I have to survive and I just
got to do what I got to do, and it's
just your a little robot and I'm like, no, I
need I want to feel everything, even if it's bad stuff,
(32:31):
because I'm saying, oh, I don't feel anything bad. Like, no,
I have bad days, you know, I have days where
I'm like but now I know how to navigate through them.
So it just it gives you tools. It gives you
different tools. So so yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It was.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
It was beautiful and I was looking like a frog.
You look like a frog when you do it, I
swear to you.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Start I already look.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It's you feel. You feel like you feel like you're
gonna die, but you don't know that you're not. Yeah, no,
I know.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I've got to be real.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I want to You have someone, Yeah, you have you
have someone there that knows about the medicine, that's done
it like a bunch of times and they get like
you get like little incisions. It depends on how many.
But you do feel it's a physical thing, like you're
you want to you're throwing up and you just it's
just it's.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
It's not a pretty detoxing.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You're detoxing you with your husband. No, I did by myself.
I was like, I'm gonna go do it. He wants
nothing to do with it. He saw the change, He's like,
that's cool. But I love what it's doing for you.
But it's not my you know, he probably doesn't need it.
Likes you know, maybe he doesn't. He doesn't need it.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
So so like interesting what you're saying, Like it heals you,
but it's also like, because it's medicine, it's healing something
that you probably didn't even know. And then that us
as a culture too, we're so okay, we just need
to survive. We just need to survive. That that's now.
We're all taking the steps and like actually healing ourselves.
And that's what's now, is like, okay, we are so
much more than what our past has exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, where it's because we adopt all these things that
happened or that our parents and it's not their fault.
Like I just see it in a different way now.
I'm like, it's not her fault. She was young, she
was she was in survival mode. So it's like instead
of I just let.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
You learning as she went exactly, she had no.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Other choice you know, she was a single mother, so
it just it helps you see things differently. So yeah,
for sure. Yeah, I feel like I'm different now. You've
probably got to do more though, but I know we.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Got to go back around.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, yeah, come, we're down as we got a few
things were not doing. There's a clip of your mom.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
It's still it's on TikTok. I mean, it's just it's
still there. It just lives where she's walking by somebody
and she's like, Hey, when I walk by, you fucking
talk your ship to my face. Oh yeah, yeah, bro,
that's some gangstass ship. Bro. There were so many people
there and it's just her versus I don't know who,
like or how many people.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
It was, just it was a guy. I saw my
mom do that a lot. Where she was it's so
long it is Harry. That was her. That was who
she was. And it was like, I'm not gonna let
it doesn't matter who you are, you're not going to
disrespect me. And yeah she didn't care. She was like,
I'm a woman before anything and before an artist and everything.
I respect that. You know. Yeah, I had to learn that.
I had to learn from that.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, you saw that growing up you saw your mom
giving people the business.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I sure did see. I think the first time I
saw my mom fighting was with the man, like physically
physically fighting. He came in and he was on a weekend.
Came and was knocking and asking for I don't know what.
Mom was like, it's I'm not at work. You come
and we'll talk about that on Monday at the office,
where I don't know why you're at my house. I'll
never forget. And I was like ten eleven and he
got aggressive. He's like I need this, bl blah blah blah.
(35:44):
My mom just they just started going at it. They
were throwing hands, she kicked his ass. I believe she
was on top of him. She's like, don't disrespect me
my house with my kids. And the cops came and
she's like I'm gonna go because she was like right,
I know, right, take care of your siblings. And I
(36:04):
just saw her just in you know, in the cup car,
just but that's what she had to do.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
And that's something that I like have always thought about,
like growing up too, is that your mom for me
was always that first person that I saw was like, okay,
it's it's okay to own your like, I guess masculinity
in your femininity right, Like she showed so many women that, like,
you have to stand up for yourself and you carrying
(36:32):
that on and so are your siblings. That's really awesome to.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Say thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
She she always said if you if you have a voice,
you use it and you use it for what you
believe in and you stand on that. And that's one
thing that I'm like, yeah, anything that I'm again passionate about.
She's a very passionate person. So it was, yeah, I'm
masculine now I'm learning to be a little more feminine.
That's what I've been doing this year of like I've
been in my masculine so long it gets exhausting for
a woman. It's like I want to just freaking.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I want to be taken care of.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I want to be Saw exactly where I didn't have
an opportunity. Man, we gotta be Saw, I feel like
for my whole Like for a long time, I was like,
what's up?
Speaker 4 (37:13):
So yeah, it's all good and long we titty college. Also,
just uh, is gonna be honoring your mom with the
performing arts?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yes? Yes, they're gonna name it after her, which I
think is amazing, which is something I know she would
absolutely have loved because music saves lives, music is therapy,
so why not, and especially she's from Lombie. She went there. Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yeah, that's amazing. Chill. The podcast is doing well, congratulations, thank.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
You so much on our first fourth season, going on
the fifth, so it's it's doing good. Sometimes I'm like,
what do we talk about? I gotta come talk to
you guys? What else do I talk about?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Like?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I do? Yes, I do, yeah, but usually they come
for like things I see or whatever. But I feel
like I'm running out of ideas. Maybe I don't know.
Maybe it's just today.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
There's no there's life to live, right, so like you're
living life, everything is content. Content, everything is worth talking
about or mentioning or turning into something.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
The right word throw up.
Speaker 6 (38:12):
It's just just just babbling until when we.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Come in here we start talking about our weekends, about
our day, and then it just kind of and then
it just something just turns into something.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I think what it is that I just need to
probably get like someone hey, like now maybe season five
is cheeks and someone I don't know, you know, I
don't know. Yeah to kind of hell. Yeah, yeah, let's go.

of spicy, it's bomb.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I make some good yeah, and that's I'm more of
like a green sauce type of girl.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Since trying all this new food, like it has there
become a culture like food that would say was kind
of nearing the top of your list now that you
wouldn't have thought.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know what, Damn, that's hard because I feel like everything.
But when I went to talking about not just because
you know, but when I went to Las Vegas and
it's called oh my gosh, I can't think of the
name sah Sa. You eat that there? It's a Mexican
and Filipino fusion, and that's when I kind of it
(13:47):
was delicious. There was a ten pound burrito, y'all, and
that's what I like. The Filipino. The Filipino bacon was delicious.
So I think for that, it's like before we went
to the Philippines, we had gone there. Now it eased
me and when I was like, oh, it's actually really
good food, maybe because it was like Mexican and Filipino,
but in reality, to introduce you to that, like to
(14:08):
introduce me to it's like that first step, I'm like, oh, damn,
this bacon is bombed. Yeah, so yeah, it's nice and thick.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Bacon about Filipino man bacon.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Bake bacon, Pilippines. I love. I love the people to
be honest, so nice. The food of course what we've
gone and his family, his dad and his brothers and
sisters live out there, but like the people were just
so nice and so polite, and I think like that's
what it was, just a breath of fresh air going
(14:49):
and like you just good morning and like you know,
and like obviously what's time you say good morning again?
And see there's set up was good learn because you know,
I'm always eating. But yeah, I would probably say for sure.
(15:10):
The culture and they just people are just so amazing
and the beach out there, go to Boracai or to
so beautiful. I love it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
That's you can live like Mexico City. Is that right?
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Literally it's called Mexico City.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Okay really And they only speak Spanish out there too, right, and.
Speaker 1 (15:25):

know that they had a Mexico City like nice.

Yeah, a little bit of yeah crazy yo.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Do you ever feel guilty eating at these places? And
you're like, okay, I got to work out right now,
I gotta not eat for another day.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You know what I've learned, even before doing the Foodie Show,
I had learned to like just portion everything. I could eat.
Everything is just how much of it do I eat?
Because even when I was like, oh, I'm on a
diet and I'm trying to eat like keto or whatever,
I would just eat a lot of it. So I've
learned it's all portion control. So I taste everything, and
I feel fine, like I don't feel like i've you know,
(16:14):
like I have to worry about it, like I work
out and I still do my own thing. I'm just
like tasting it, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Sometimes it's so good though, you're like, I'm gonna finish.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'll finish it. Yeah, I'll finish. There's sometimes I'm taking it.
And I'm real good at leftovers and love overs. Love
leftovers because a lot of people are like my husband
doesn't like him. He's kind of like no one.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I used to be that way. Now I'm leftover gang.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Love it. Even my food a little cold, that's weird,
but I like it.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Are you eating pizza like leftover pizza cold? Or are
you eating it up?
Speaker 1 (16:43):

be careful. Yes, I learned that the hard way. Someone
like I tried to tell someone.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Man. You know, you know people chase your tour bus.
You've seen this on TikTok. Everywhere you go, they're following you.
They if they see your bus, they're they're chasing down
your bus.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I get the little Yeah, I think it's cute. I
think it's cute. The guys are always telling me because
they're the you know, the band that they live in
in Brownsville, and they tell me they're like Cristello's fans
and and this is that. Then they'll say other stuff. Yeah,
I'm my girls, be nice, don't.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Let's clean the bus. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, I think it's cute. Yeah, we're switching it up.
They probably haven't seen it lately because we just unwrapped
it to rewrap it with like the new stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Oh wow, wow. Yeah, did you see the Selena documentary?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I have not watched it. I have not. How is
it is amazing?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's really good. Yeah, it's really good. And you know
her father just passed this.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Weekend on on Aby's birthdays. It's correct, Yeah, I think
it was.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
I think it was on eighties birthday if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I haven't talked to Ay in a while, but I
have not watching. You know why. I get really sad
around this time. So it's already like a heavy time
for me. So I think I need to be in
the right mindset because it's just it's so close. It's
so it reminds me of my dad, reminds me of
my mom. It's just so much that I'm like, I
haven't been able to watch it right now is just
you know, yeah, but I am. I need to watch it.
(23:03):
I've heard really good things about it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, you'll get to It'll get to it, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
And you know me, her dad be she's probably partying
when my mom. They're chilling, That's what I say. I
think they're having a great old time up there. They're chilling.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
They're having a better time than us, you know what
I mean. And I'm like, you know what, we should
all be so lucky.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, they're chilling, They're doing their thing.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, that's good for them, you know.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
I also do want to talk about the family aspect.
You are such a big advocated for your siblings as well,
Like do it sometimes when they like snap back at
you or you just kind of like bro like little
do you know? Like I have so much I have
on you.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah. Now that they've grown up, it's so hard because
they got lip you know, and I'm just like, okay,
like I had to step back a little bit the dynamic.
And I'm honest, you know, I'm very transparent about everything.
I say it on my podcast as well, where I'm
like we were so close and maybe to a point
where it wasn't healthy because I think we were like
helping each other, like just through the grieving process of
(24:04):
just everything we had gone through. So they grew up,
and I wanted to keep holding on and save them
from everything, and that's just not realistic. Like it's like
they need to go and experience and live their life.
And I needed to accept that. So now it's like,
now it's not that second mother role. I've stepped into
the sister. And that was very difficult that year. March, April,
(24:28):
May June. Those months, oh my goodness, were so difficult
for me, Like I just needed to detach and let
go and just let them be. They're grown, you know. Johnny,
the youngest one is twenty four, you know, living on
his own, doing his own thing. So so yeah, now
when they we have a we had to have some
space in order to come back and respect each other
(24:49):
on a different level. So I think that's what happened,
and it's better. We had a great Thanksgiving and I
didn't think it was going to be like that thing.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh good good. Yeah we came back no attitude, no uh.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
No, thank goodness. I can no more now.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Like that, like friction and you know, side eyeing and arguing.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Thank god, no, I think we've we have a like
a mutual respect. I think if anything, when Johnny was
like going through that moment that time, like the you know,
teenage years, he tried and then I just had to
fix it, you know what I mean. I had to
just lay down, you know, I was I was going
to be I took I took down the door, I
put his mattress outside. I was very strict with him,
(25:28):
But I'm very proud of the young man I raised.
It's a good law.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Do you think there's anything that you would have personally
done differently being like this in the second mom role, M.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That's such a good question. A lot of things, actually,
I think now that I know, like healing myself, I
think it's so important. Obviously when you have kids, you
don't know like that they're not my kids, but they're
my kids, you know. So I just was dealing with
so much emotionally that I wish I would have taken
a little bit of time to just take care of
(26:01):
that and just understand what was going on here instead
of maybe sometimes taking it out on Johnny or Jenica
and being too overbearing. I was too overbearing. I was
like too over exactly, like no, like too overprotective, and
they felt like I need some space like you you won't,
you know? And I think I see that I got
that from my mom. My mom didn't know any better
(26:21):
I was. She was fifteen when she had me, so
it's like she wanted to keep me from making mistakes,
when in reality that's the only way we grow is
really like being out there and learning. So I was
very overbearing. I think I would have just stepped back
a little bit and like allowed them to be more.
They're pretty outspoken, but they're pretty outspoken, actually all of them.
But you know what I mean, I think, yeah, not
(26:42):
being so overbearing, I guess, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah. And I think being overprotective, especially for a parent,
I think that comes from something that you went through
as a child and you having to protect yourself as
a child, Yeah, and being your own protection that kind
of bleeds into your adult life.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, for sure. For sure.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Is there a like a sibling that you have learned
from the most, would you say?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Janica? Probably? Yeah, my little Janica. She's a lot like me,
but like she at eighteen, she said, I'm out and
I didn't understand it. I was like, because I come
from like the old school tradition of like until you're
freaking married. And so when she came to me, she's like,
I'm ready to leave.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I'm like, wait, where's your husband?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah? You hold up? She said, I'm going to go
and I want to move to San Diego and I
want to like explore. And that was so brave for me,
and I was like, damn. And now I see her,
she's what twenty seven to twenty eight, and I'm like, damn,
so proud of her, Like she went out there. She's
always been very independent and granted I like we were
just talking about it like two days ago. She's like, sister,
(27:46):
thank you, Like you taught me a lot of the things.
And it's very hard for her to say it, but
she finally and thank god. She's like, sister, you taught
me a lot. A lot of the things is because
of you. And I'm like, girl, thank you. But also
I've learned from her a lot, a lot. Very smart
young lady.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yeah, thank you, but I thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I you because of me? Are they are? They all cooks?
As well? Does everyone cook?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Jennica is the like girl bakes, she cooks, she likes
all kinds of crazy things. I haven't gone that far
because I'm not a baker, because I'm more of like
a soul like type of like uh chef in the kitchen,
I'm like, I'm I'm gonna put this in there. I
have this, And she's a measure so everything's very precise,
and like baking is very precise. I'm just like, I'll
(28:33):
try you, but I don't know. It's just not my thing.
But yet, for sure, I would say Jenica and then Jackie.
Jackie doesn't really like to cook, but when she cooks,
it's pretty good. I've had her food. It's good.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
My mom was a mom cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Don't beat it for a week, week for a week,
thanks for a week.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You're so dropped in new album or ep? Right?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That was inspired by a spiritual trip? Is that what
I meant?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Something like that kind of spiritual trip?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh well, I think what started this whole spiritual thing
was just me understanding why, trying to understand why I
hadn't become a mother and healing like my relationship with
my mom and wanting to get myself ready emotionally and
then also detaching from my siblings and understanding them. So
I think it was just that was like the beginning,
(29:27):
which is like in March. So I went to retreat,
a psychedelics retreat, and I started that last year. That's
when it started, and everything just kind of started shifting
in my life and it changed my life. I'm like, okay,
it started April of last year, and then this year
I did Combo Combo, which is like a medicine from
(29:48):
a frog. It's basically poisoned. They don't kill the dogs,
they don't kill it, they don't kill.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
The frog, but like it's off of its body though, right, they.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Just kind of hold it down and it gets upset
and it like it releases. Yeah, so then they put
it on your body and you like it's a deep,
deep cleansed spiritual, emotionally and you know, in every way.
So I did that. I did three sessions of that.
It was pretty gnarly. It was the hardest thing I
had ever done in my life, but I would do
it again because I just felt just so refreshed and
(30:16):
it was difficult. It was one of the most difficult,
beautiful things I've ever done.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
So yeah, yeah, how much does it cost.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I want to go to the Amazons actually to do it,
like for real, for out there. But that's kind of
what I did. And then my music just everything started
changing for me. Like I I was like, I like,
I think I need a little bit of I thought
I was going to stop singing. That's what I was like,
I'm going to stop singing like it makes me feel
a certain way. But I'm like, no, I just needed
to take a step back and write what my soul
(30:49):
wanted to talk about, which was not about you know,
and me being heartbroken and all that. That worked and
it serves its purpose during that time, but now I
want to talk about the world and save it and
how can I help heal the world through the work
that I've been doing. So I think that's what kind
of changed everything. Like the album that's coming in March
is still in the same type of genre, which is
(31:10):
like pulp up pop folk, and you know, it's just
I needed to do it. I'm like, you know what,
like I need to just try this and and just
speak and seeing what my soul wants to do right now.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I think what you did. I think a lot of
rock stars have done that and a lot of musicians
have done that in the past, and have you know,
have came out of that with masterpieces, right, like the Beatles,
and you think of you know, so many more down
the line, even Michael Jackson, who was just on his
own yeah, you know, on his own trip, right, Like
there's there's there's masterpieces in there when you truly strip
(31:46):
away a lot that's been holding.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
You back exactly, and it's just like it's hard. I'm
not saying go out there and do psychedelic I want
to promo be an adult. Yeah, you need to be
an adult. You need to do your research. It's serious.
It's like you it's not just gonna go party like,
it's not that. It's very it's it's a medicine and
and you have to respect it is so and that's
what I did, and and it just really strips you
and like shows you who you really are and your
(32:10):
authentic self and you sit there and you're healing. I
don't even know how to explain what it is. Yeah,
it's crazy and everything just you see the world differently
and you appreciate everything versus I think for a long
time I was on survival mode, like I have to
do this because I have to survive and I just
got to do what I got to do, and it's
just your a little robot and I'm like, no, I
need I want to feel everything, even if it's bad stuff,
(32:31):
because I'm saying, oh, I don't feel anything bad. Like, no,
I have bad days, you know, I have days where
I'm like but now I know how to navigate through them.
So it just it gives you tools. It gives you
different tools. So so yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
It was.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
It was beautiful and I was looking like a frog.
You look like a frog when you do it, I
swear to you.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Start I already look.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It's you feel. You feel like you feel like you're
gonna die, but you don't know that you're not. Yeah, no,
I know.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I've got to be real.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I want to You have someone, Yeah, you have you
have someone there that knows about the medicine, that's done
it like a bunch of times and they get like
you get like little incisions. It depends on how many.
But you do feel it's a physical thing, like you're
you want to you're throwing up and you just it's
just it's.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
It's not a pretty detoxing.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You're detoxing you with your husband. No, I did by myself.
I was like, I'm gonna go do it. He wants
nothing to do with it. He saw the change, He's like,
that's cool. But I love what it's doing for you.
But it's not my you know, he probably doesn't need it.
Likes you know, maybe he doesn't. He doesn't need it.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
So so like interesting what you're saying, Like it heals you,
but it's also like, because it's medicine, it's healing something
that you probably didn't even know. And then that us
as a culture too, we're so okay, we just need
to survive. We just need to survive. That that's now.
We're all taking the steps and like actually healing ourselves.
And that's what's now, is like, okay, we are so
much more than what our past has exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, where it's because we adopt all these things that
happened or that our parents and it's not their fault.
Like I just see it in a different way now.
I'm like, it's not her fault. She was young, she
was she was in survival mode. So it's like instead
of I just let.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
You learning as she went exactly, she had no.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Other choice you know, she was a single mother, so
it just it helps you see things differently. So yeah,
for sure. Yeah, I feel like I'm different now. You've
probably got to do more though, but I know we.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Got to go back around.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, yeah, come, we're down as we got a few
things were not doing. There's a clip of your mom.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
It's still it's on TikTok. I mean, it's just it's
still there. It just lives where she's walking by somebody
and she's like, Hey, when I walk by, you fucking
talk your ship to my face. Oh yeah, yeah, bro,
that's some gangstass ship. Bro. There were so many people
there and it's just her versus I don't know who,
like or how many people.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
It was, just it was a guy. I saw my
mom do that a lot. Where she was it's so
long it is Harry. That was her. That was who
she was. And it was like, I'm not gonna let
it doesn't matter who you are, you're not going to
disrespect me. And yeah she didn't care. She was like,
I'm a woman before anything and before an artist and everything.
I respect that. You know. Yeah, I had to learn that.
I had to learn from that.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, you saw that growing up you saw your mom
giving people the business.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I sure did see. I think the first time I
saw my mom fighting was with the man, like physically
physically fighting. He came in and he was on a weekend.
Came and was knocking and asking for I don't know what.
Mom was like, it's I'm not at work. You come
and we'll talk about that on Monday at the office,
where I don't know why you're at my house. I'll
never forget. And I was like ten eleven and he
got aggressive. He's like I need this, bl blah blah blah.
(35:44):
My mom just they just started going at it. They
were throwing hands, she kicked his ass. I believe she
was on top of him. She's like, don't disrespect me
my house with my kids. And the cops came and
she's like I'm gonna go because she was like right,
I know, right, take care of your siblings. And I
(36:04):
just saw her just in you know, in the cup car,
just but that's what she had to do.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
And that's something that I like have always thought about,
like growing up too, is that your mom for me
was always that first person that I saw was like, okay,
it's it's okay to own your like, I guess masculinity
in your femininity right, Like she showed so many women that, like,
you have to stand up for yourself and you carrying
(36:32):
that on and so are your siblings. That's really awesome to.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Say thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
She she always said if you if you have a voice,
you use it and you use it for what you
believe in and you stand on that. And that's one
thing that I'm like, yeah, anything that I'm again passionate about.
She's a very passionate person. So it was, yeah, I'm
masculine now I'm learning to be a little more feminine.
That's what I've been doing this year of like I've
been in my masculine so long it gets exhausting for
a woman. It's like I want to just freaking.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I want to be taken care of.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I want to be Saw exactly where I didn't have
an opportunity. Man, we gotta be Saw, I feel like
for my whole Like for a long time, I was like,
what's up?
Speaker 4 (37:13):
So yeah, it's all good and long we titty college. Also,
just uh, is gonna be honoring your mom with the
performing arts?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Yes? Yes, they're gonna name it after her, which I
think is amazing, which is something I know she would
absolutely have loved because music saves lives, music is therapy,
so why not, and especially she's from Lombie. She went there. Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yeah, that's amazing. Chill. The podcast is doing well, congratulations, thank.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Like?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I do? Yes, I do, yeah, but usually they come
for like things I see or whatever. But I feel
like I'm running out of ideas. Maybe I don't know.
Maybe it's just today.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
There's no there's life to live, right, so like you're
living life, everything is content. Content, everything is worth talking
about or mentioning or turning into something.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
The right word throw up.
Speaker 6 (38:12):
It's just just just babbling until when we.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Come in here we start talking about our weekends, about
our day, and then it just kind of and then
it just something just turns into something.
Speaker 1 (38:19):

probably get like someone hey, like now maybe season five
is cheeks and someone I don't know, you know, I
don't know. Yeah to kind of hell. Yeah, yeah, let's go.
