Speaker 1 (00:44):
Thank you so much.
My name is Brooke Ashley Halland I am the mother of the
Beverly Halls.
And I am a mother, I'm a wife.
I have three beautiful, amazing, young, handsome men In my
house.
They are 14, 7, and 2, Braylon,Mark Hannon and Caden, and I
love them so much.
I always say when people ask,what do I do for a living, it's,
I'm a mother.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I'm a wife.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Those are my top two priorities Online.
I'm a lifestyle content creator.
I specialize in aestheticcontent.
I like to just show the bestversion of myself because I
notice that it helps peopleeither with stress relief and
things like that.
I want my content to be a placewhere people feel good and that
they're encouraged wheneverthey watch what we have to share

(01:24):
.
So that's a little bit about it.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
OK, now, if you guys are new to the platform, this is
your moment.
Right here is the time to dowhat Blair.
Press that button, which button?
Subscribe.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
We are so gracious that we're actually going to
give you a moment to do it.
We're not even going to pass by.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
All right, so let's get into conversation.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
But before we, do we play our favorite game?
Have you wondered why thisexists on the couch?
Yeah, I was looking.
I was like ooh.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
OK, you're not in trouble.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
So we are going to play a little game.
It is called it's GivingMotherhood.
So we are going to ask you someyes or no questions, or some
either.
Or questions OK Is yes, or thefirst option we give you OK,
white is no.
Or the second option we giveyou OK.
And, as always, the firstanswer is the right answer.

(02:20):
Yes, trust your gut.
Yes, trust your gut.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
So we're going to do that.
Ok, well, too well.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
And have a little conversation around it.
So, are you ready?
I'm ready.
Ok, do you think that socialmedia portrays an unrealistic
image of motherhood?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yes, oh it depends why does it depend Because
you've got the realistic moms.
Now sometimes you know, I feellike it's which version you're
getting, Because on stories it'sa little bit more of a
realistic mom that's true, andthen?
On feed, it's a little bit moreunrealistic mom.
Yes, tiktok is very realisticeverywhere.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
And I feel like Instagram is a little bit more
curated.
Yes, and it also boils down tothe creator Like is the
intention of the creator to beaesthetic and show that they are
perfect, or is the intention toshow that they are real and
relatable?
Because, I feel like that kindof drives the content.
So I'm kind of like my answer'sfor answer.
Yeah, I mean that makes it.
I prefer answer that makes itBecause it's almost like when

(03:16):
we're dressed up on the show,but then on stories and online.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
We are very much so in our t-shirts and buying and
eating our snacks and all ofthat.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
So it depends, yeah, some which version that.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
What do we pick today ?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
You kind of changed my mind a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Does the biological parent have the final say over
discipline?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I'm going to say no, where's the no one, this one,
yeah, no, no, I was about to dothis, but no, no, it's fair to
say no.
I'm a step mom.
I have the most amazing kidever, so I think there's only
ever been one situation, but itwas already handled, so it
wasn't about me.
So, I know I have that leewayif I needed to do something.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
We all talk really well together yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Me, her mom and, of course, her dad.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
So yeah, that's the same in my household.
My husband is my oldest son'sstepfather and I feel like at
the beginning of our marriage wedid really kind of buck heads.
I'm like, why do you?
But he could also see somethingthat I didn't see and as the
biological parent, I'm alwayspro-child.
You can't tell my child this.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And I feel like that was the only.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
How'd that go?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's not good Like it's not good, and I never
really said that out of my mouth, but it was more so.
My intentions were like don'tsay that, that's not.
But then I had to kind of openmy eyes when your kid starts
doing things and you're like, ok, I see what they're doing.
And now I married you.
You come first.
Whether his biological dad isin the picture or not, you still
have the say to say, hey, heneeds discipline and it's out of

(04:50):
love, and I think as long asit's out of love, like whichever
parent, if you're in a marriedunion any parent, step parent,
whatever, and that's what myanswer is going to say.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I too am a blended family and it's no one has the
final say, because we should bea team.
Like of course it does notstart out that way.
I'm not going to hold you butover time and just maturity and
all of that thing, all thatstuff, growth everyone should be
involved, especially if we wantto continue to just be and do

(05:22):
the best for the child.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, absolutely, these are good.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
So do you have any close friends that aren't moms?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, definitely.
Yeah, yeah, she was a guy.
I think a bit.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I think, at a point when my closest friends wasn't a
mom she's a mom now, but yeah,she wasn't but she was probably
a better mom than me.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Right, I think I'm so grateful for the friends that
are not moms even though, ofcourse, one day great, so
excited for you but I kind ofneed them to be the break.
I need them to be the person toremind me who I am and that I'm
not just a mom and that I cando other things.

(06:06):
So I'm very grateful for theaunties.
Ok, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm trying to count.
How many friends do I have?

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Oh, but never did we reach.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I didn't reach to many.
Yeah, you didn't.
No, no, no, not a lot has italways been that way.
Most of the ones.
Honestly, I don't really haveany Like.
I have one good friend that'sfrom my hometown and she's down,
like she's down, she's a mom,she's obviously we're about the
same age and I feel like I don'tknow.
I don't know off the top of myhead, most of my friends are

(06:36):
moms, but I don't really havethat many friends to be, honest,
I really like stay in my houseand I stay to my husband and my
family, as awkward as that is.
But I've just learned likesometimes friendships you know
they're so valuable and I reallyvalue my friendships, so I'm
very picky about which ones arethere and I don't really like to

(06:57):
.
It's not that I don't likesingle women, because that's not
.
That's not what I want to say.
I've been single and I've beenwithout kids, but they're just
not in my season of light either, so it's almost sometimes I
feel like I don't have that muchto resonate with or to even
speak to them about and it's notthat they're wrong or I'm right
or I'm better or they're not,or vice versa but it's more so

(07:18):
to me like they're living adifferent lifestyle.
Yeah, like what can I talk toyou about?
And they tend to have more timethan you.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, well, that's true.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
To invest into a friendship, and I know I don't
and I don't want to be a badfriend either.
So I'm kind of like that's agood point.
It's not that I don't havefriends, it's just I'm very like
I'm not and I don't want to saylike I'm a mean friend or like
I'm not intentional aboutfriends.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I say all the time, I'll say all the time I'm a bad
friend.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You're not, she's not a bad friend, I'm just not
saying that, but I know what youmean.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's like you don't think to text first sometimes,
or you're not like the oneinviting them out all the time,
like it's like oh, you exist,but it's not a bad word to you,
like some people are just reallygood friends, Like.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
they're just like hey , how are you doing this morning
?
How?
Are your kids, how are you?
And I'm like, oh my God, I suck.
Like I am not that friend and Iwish that it could be.
But like I'm balancing so muchand I feel like other moms can
relate sometimes Like you'rejust balancing so much, you
can't really be too intentionaland you feel like it's not a
priority yes, but not almost,like it's too scary because I
don't want to give you too much.

(08:16):
And then you feel like I'mdoing something wrong when I'm
not giving you enough.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh, that's a good point.
You don't want to do anythingyou can't keep up with?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Keep up with.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I have any relationship?
I think yeah, with anyrelationship.
I'm going to come back to thefriend thing.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm going to come back to that.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, this is really good.
Ok, so do you ever feel likeyou need a break from being a
mom?
Some yeah, yeah, yeah, I thinkthe only way to be healthy like
healthy, how do you say that?
Healthy, healthy, that soundednice.
Healthy, yeah, it sounded good.
To pair it in a healthy way, Ithink you need to take the break

(08:53):
and to be able to let your hairdown, and obviously you're
always going to be a mom, but totake a break from mom means it
would be very nice and I findthat I come back a better person
.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, exactly, especially for myself and my
husband.
We homeschool.
We have two, one is in highschool.
One is in middle school and I'mlike, oh my gosh, we're around
our kids legit all the time.
So I think it's nice, even justright now.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
A little 24-hour break away and they'll just come
back if it's very needed.
I think, anything you do, youneed a break.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Everything.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Something you absolutely love, something you
don't like Too much of anything.
You need a break Period andyou're still a good mom.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yes, even though you're saying you need a break
does not make you a bad mom.
I know mom guilt loves to justslither in, but you are still a
good mom if you take a break.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Absolutely.
You're a better mom.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yes, Promise Exactly and we shouldn't shame other
moms.
I want a break.
We should not.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yes, that judgment like oh where are your kids?

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yes, just watching them Now.
Yes, that's not you.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right, not you.
No, yeah, you trying to go out,or no?

Speaker 3 (10:06):
You just want to be invited, don't?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
you?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, that's why, you're asking yes, ok, would you
live a completely private lifeif you made the same income you
do now?
I mean I already do.
Well, you mean like a private,like you know, like public life.
Influence are like peopleseeing what you do and most of
that's done to make money.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, I say this all the time.
I'm like if I didn't have to beon the internet.
I would not Like.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I said that to stay at one.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
I'm like if I could just be off the grid that's what
I call it off the grid Like ifI was privileged enough to just
make the same money as I do asan influencer, as I do to just
not and to just exist.
Count me out, you never have tosee my face again.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
She's like if you don't like me, send me checks
and you don't have to see meanymore, All right.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's not that I don't like being on social media
because, I do like it, but itcomes with so much you know,
there's so much responsibilityand obligation and like it's a
full-time job.
Oh yeah, you know it's not ahard job, but it's an exhausting
job.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh it is hard.
Wait, it's not hard.
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean like compared to like OK someone that's like
working as a nurse or a doctor,like they have to go in and save
someone's life.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's just a different type of hard.
But you don't think somethinglike so.
At work we say this sometimeslike I think what we do can be
life or death, like whether youpost that post or not can really
change somebody's life.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Well, it depends.
If you're a good contentcreator, yes, but it can change
someone's life for the worst too.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Exactly, and of course there's like this silly
mundane stuff, but you justnever know what can change
somebody's life Right, and whenyou wake up and you show someone
that you're prevailing throughyour testimony and your story it
helps, and I think that's whatkeeps me on the internet.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's because I'm like I know somebody needed to hear
this, I know somebody else isgoing through this and then it
makes you feel like almost thesame reward as a nurse, Like
when I go to work and I takecare of someone.
I know it's not the same, Likebecause I don't want people to
mix it up in the comments.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I was going to say something with our hero, broke
Ashley all said, nurses are justas important as content
creators.
Don't make sure to put that inthe headlight.
That's going to be theheadlight.
That's going to be the name ofthe YouTube episode.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
So that's definitely not what I mean, but I
definitely see the significanceBecause you are.
I mean look at how many peopleyou're reaching.
You're not just reaching the 10or 20, 30 people you're taking
care of in a nursing home.
You're reaching tens ofthousands, if not hundreds of
thousands millions of peopleevery single day, and it is
changing people's lives.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, so I didn't know Because I started out on
social media, truly because Ijust like the same way, like
before it got to be a job.
I literally use social mediabecause I'm like, oh, I like to
keep up with my friends andpeople move around.
I've moved around a couple oftimes and I don't live close to
family and friends and thingslike that.

(12:51):
So I'm like, oh, this is my wayof communicating and showing
what's going on today and thingslike that.
My content will probably bedifferent.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
But I would.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's kind of like when people go from working in a
church to volunteering, likeI'm now just doing this for fun,
not like for a job.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, I would actually probably drive myself
crazy if I was completely offsocial media.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
So I can actually agree with that.
Yeah, Because I'm like where iseverybody at?
I love people too much.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
I would do stories nonstop.
I wouldn't post anything on mypage.
I'd be like that's what Gen Zdoes, right, Like they don't put
their pages empty, just story,but that's not a private life.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I guess not, but you can make it.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
You can choose who, but yeah, I don't even do that,
yeah, so I'm wishy-washy.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
then, yeah, who knows ?
Yeah, I changed something.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, you changed it for me, yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, exactly Gint, to reveal or keep it simple and
private.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I've had through this time.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
I think if I had to do it one more time, I would do
a gender reveal really because Ididn't do any of it for both of
my pregnancies.
I didn't do a maternity shoe.
Yeah, I didn't do a genderreveal.
I did a kind of a bit.
I did a baby shower for thefirst one, but it's like I'm so
good at like playing down thingsand I wish I had those moments,
yeah.
I didn't go to prom.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, I can't believe it.
Yeah, my gosh, we should do aprom.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
It won't be prom.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yes, we can just do a party.
I mean, I can't dress up inprom.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I can't dress up in prom.
No, it's so cute, I can't dressup now.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I'm like you gotta go then because you have to have
the hair.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
We can still do the hair we're gonna do a whole
mom's actually prom, a mom prom,and it sounds really lame that
I just said that.
Actually, I was like that's socool, we're gonna be cool.
Get your tickets.
There's no link in the bio, Ipromise, but it will be one day.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
I mean, who knows, someone might be buying this
like five years from now.
You're right, you never know.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Mom prom coming soon.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
That's cute.
What about you?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
You know, for gender reveals I only had one for my
third baby, I think, because bythat time I could actually
afford one.
I feel like when I was pregnantwith my first, I was like 15,
16.
It wasn't like like I needed tofigure out how to get milk and
diapers.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, and I wasn't even gonna throw a home.
Yeah, exactly, it was like ababy shower.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, and then my second one.
You know I get really sick too,so I don't know.
The pregnancies have alwaysbeen hard for me to have it be
special.
So by the third one I was likeyou know what, let's do it,
because I was really hoping thisone was gonna be a girl.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I know, and I'm glad you can admit that, because
people are like I don't care.
I'm like I don't care.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I have a gender preference like.
I'm at the point where I mightjust do IVF.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Because you got all the boys.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yes.
So I think, like if I knew,well then, it's like if I know,
then, like what's the point ofthe gender reveal, just to
surprise the world?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I don't know I'd go out for the internet.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
No, I have seen that where people do it for the
internet, Not even biginfluencers.
But where they do it toannounce to their family, so
it's like they find out and thenthey share with their family.
That way I did the best genderreveal for my friend.
It was the best one.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Every time you explain it.
I'm like this sounds stressful.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
So she found out she was pregnant.
She'd been trying for a whileso I wanted to make it a moment.
So I got her a cake and whenshe cut the cake it was yellow
inside.
I got her, like the picture, apaint thing where they painted
their hands Like the color ofthe gender and they put it on a
portrait and it was gold.
And then I got them the likewhat are those things?

(16:11):
The stringer confetti things?
And it was white.
And I did the thing where theyhad to hit the ball and the
stuff that came out was white.
So they had to go through allthese different stations to find
out.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was supposed to be a candle.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
That finally told them, but it was taking too long
, so I just let them look at myphone and see it.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Don't do all that just for her not to work out,
just to get on the phone.
Oh my gosh, that's very, verythoughtful, yes you have to drag
it out.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
See, she's a great friend.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Told, you told you.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I have my moment.
What about you?
I just want to keep it simple.
I did a small gender reveal formy last one, but it was
literally just for Rivers and I,but we went live on Facebook
and Instagram at the time, so weliterally were just outside of

(17:03):
our home had one balloon andpopped it and that was it.
But it was literally just usand Zoe and that seems just so
like no, it was one big balloon.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I just see this like sad little no no, it was one big
balloon.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
It was Zoe and Layla and we just popped the balloon
and it was very special becauseit was our boy that was.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
I was like was there a jumping?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh yeah, we both.
It was funny, we both ranopposite ways instead of
together.
So, we both like screamed andboth ran.
We just disappeared from ourcamera, obviously.
But yeah, I think, if Iwouldn't.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
But yeah, I think it's special when you don't have
the other gender.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, that was a moment that you'll always
remember.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Because it's like my first boy.
So I do think like but afterlike a million kids, and you
already have a boy and you'relike what's the point?

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yes, and you don't want to, and especially if you
don't know and you wantsomething.
I don't think you should have agender reveal If you know what
sex you want, yeah, like if youwant a girl, and then you have a
gender reveal and you don'tknow and it's another boy, it
can go wrong.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
People get angry.
I was so sad, I cried and I waslike should we even post this.
I'm like, I can't.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
No, I forgot the reason I didn't have gender
reveals.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Because you waited until the birth.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I waited until birth to find out.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I'm like that's why yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
I waited until birth so I had like the actual gender
reveal.
I've thought about that.
I thought that would be kind ofcool.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
To like wait.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I didn't want gender disappointment, I wanted
a boy.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Really bad the first time.
Really bad.
So I didn't want 20 weeks ofbeing like upset.
No, you would have been.
Yeah, I would have been.
I would have been sodisappointed.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
But now I'll tell you what that third baby boy in

That's true.
Like I don't know if I could,if I had to pick.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
I've had like amazing Girls trips, but the man yeah,
I'm like Before this year itwould have definitely been my
man my man.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
But yeah, it's been epic Last year we did it up.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
If I would have known it could be like that, I think
I would have done them A longtime ago.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
But you hear, so much drama With girls and, like you,
gotta have the right group, theright group.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
It has to be the right group, otherwise Did you
guys do one yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Oh yeah we went to?
Where did we go?
Bahamas for my birthday.
That's cute, it was great.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Oh.
It was perfect, See but youguys got the whole girl squad
Good girls.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I mean, yeah, but honestly we had never all
traveled together.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh really Mm-mm and just kind of it just worked, it
just worked.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, it was good, it was good.
I will also say middle, becauseI love a good girls trip, like
it's just a time, it's so fun,you really get to let your hair
down.
But then you know, with your,with your man, you just it's
just a different vibe, you getyour needle sexy, you know.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Even when I travel With my husband, I like I mean I
think we both do, we likepeople around, like my husband
can Make friends with anybody,and that's what I love about him
too, because I'm like I meet somany different people that way
so we end up it turns into likeA group, they group yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Those are fun, those too, and I like them Because
it's the best of both worlds.
You guys can split up, thegirls do their thing the guys do
their thing, you come back.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, yeah, I love that too yeah those are cool.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Okay, so now that we have you here, Nice and warmed
up.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
I know that was good.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Best friends for five years.
Allstrips soon come.
Yeah, let's do it.
That's so fun.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
I wanna invite me.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, she's like she's gonna see Instagram, she's
gonna be like.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
So y'all went on a trip, so y'all forgot.
You said I was invited.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Right, we got you Okay.
So is there anything that youwanted to be able to talk about
that you just usually don'tBecause of either the nature Of
your platform time?
Like we wanna make sure thatwe're just getting to know you
On a different level?
Like, is there anything youwanna share About yourself, your

(22:28):
life, anything like that?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, I mean, I share so much of my life that I feel
like there's really like Nothingleft sometimes to share.
But I think just that, like Ido work really hard, you know,
like A lot of people don'treally get to see that they just
see the result Of what we putout there for them and like even

(22:51):
with you guys In this right now, like this is a big setup, this
is all production.
This isn't just like you know,it's a lot of work and it
requires a lot of energy andjust that like I feel like
people should just be kindsometimes.
Like the internet can be likethe biggest critic and the
biggest bully To even justanybody.
You don't have to be famous.

(23:12):
Like people just have somethingto say regardless.
And I think like, just like youappreciate your craft and what
you do, like you should justappreciate other people For what
they do as well.
And it's not like I need like awoe is me, like, oh my god, my
life's so hard Cause.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
It's not Like it's hard, but it's not.
I love that.
It's just like nets, but it'sjust like a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I think that they assume, like with content
creation, that it's just easy,like you just pick up a camera
and you just that's why I saidno, it's not, yeah, and it's
like my family.
Sometimes they don't even wantto come over Because they know
how hard we work.
Like they know that they don'tget Even time and attention from
us either.
So it's like People think likeyour house is just so fun and

(23:52):
like everything you do is soperfect and like everything is
so well articulated andaesthetic and this and that.
But it's like, no, you don'trealize how many countless hours
Go into these shots and like ifyou don't have a whole team
Behind you doing it, like, andyou're just running it yourself
and then going back and forthWith the emails and stuff.
So I feel like that's reallythe only side To me that social

(24:12):
media has never really seen.
Share this video with fasterprogramming.
My life is like it's like this,like it's not smooth as it looks
when I post it, you know likethere's so much more in between,
and I think that that's what alot of people don't really even
know about me to be honest and Ithink, with you being like you
said specifically, I createaesthetic content when you hear

(24:36):
that word.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I create perfect content, like I create what you
would imagine in your brain, thedream, and so what is it like?
Creating the most perfect setup, the most perfect result, while
also going through a really,really tough time in your life,
or something that might be alittle bit hard to grapple with,
like you guys are trying toconceive right now?

(24:58):
And you know you're your sonand all those different things
are not always aesthetic.
Aesthetic, right, yeah.
So what is?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
that like.
So it's funny you say thatbecause that was the first time
in my life where I felt like theaesthetic went out the window
and I was like either myaudience is gonna like me or
they're not like we're gonnafind out today.
We're gonna find out becauseI'm going through some real non
aesthetic stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Like my son just died in my garage and I had to bring
him back to life with myhusband and pray that God was
gonna keep him after two weeksafter I lost my brother.
So how less aesthetic can itget?
And I mean you're talking aboutthis is the highlight of my
career.
I'm getting 10 and 20 and 30and 40 million views off of

(25:44):
being aesthetic.
You know like, and people holdme to this standard of oh, you
have to be perfect and like, theangle has to be perfect and
we're only gonna watch you ifyou show this part of your house
or if you show me your houselike, almost to the point where
your house becomes yourpersonality, instead of people
caring about what they did atthe beginning, which is you.
And then I show you oh my gosh,I'm going through this trauma

(26:05):
with my son.
So I kind of liked it, I think.
I think I don't like that.
My son went through that likethat because people can confuse
that as well and I feel likesome people think, oh, she loves
that that happened to her kidcause she can get views.
I don't want views like that.
Please be aware I was gettinghundreds of millions of views
before my kid ever had a cardiacarrest and I would continue to

(26:26):
get hundreds of millions ofviews without him going through
cardiac arrest.
But when he did go throughcardiac arrest, it showed my
audience that I am not alwaysperfect and plus, I'm not like.
I come from the hood.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I come from the 330.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
I'm not from an aesthetic background.
I'm very much so born andraised in a trailer.
I'm very much so born andraised where my lights get cut
off and I've had to be on foodstamps and my mom never cooked
because she was working too hard.
So many jobs you know and likethat is what?
another thing people don't knowabout me is like they think, now
that you see this rich life andthis, and that it's always oh,

(27:02):
you're just trying to show howrich you are, you're just trying
to this and that, and it's likeno, this is what you're telling
me you wanna see, because whenI don't post this, you're not
watching it and my job is to bea content creator.
So if you want this kind ofcontent.
It doesn't matter what I wannashow you, it matters what you
wanna watch.
You look at the analytics andyou give more of what's saying
you know what I mean, and so Ifeel like sometimes, like people

(27:25):
get it lost in translation.
Oh, brooke Ashley Hall is stuckup, she's full of herself.
She thinks she's too good, butno, I'm not.
I am full because of the peoplein my life and I do love my
life and I am appreciative ofwhat I have because I never had
it.
Yeah, you know like I'm verythankful for it, and not a day
in my life would I go by and belike, oh you know, I'm not
grateful for this.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I'm grateful every single day I wake up.
I'm like holy crap.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I'm not on food stamps anymore.
Holy crap, I'm not living in asingle wide trailer with the
bedroom the size of my bathroom.
Yeah geez, you know like thoseare different, like why not be
proud of that?

Speaker 3 (27:57):
It's like you go to therapy so you can be confident
in your life.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Right, I can still, but if you're confident people
have issue with that.
Yeah, and for a long time Ikind of felt like people always
went like this when I was downand when I was hurting and when
I was in a smaller house andwhen I was like sharing more of
just funny.
But once I really tapped intomy blessings, then all of a

(28:21):
sudden it's oh, she's doing toomuch, oh, she's trying too hard,
oh, she's too successful.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Now, we don't like that for her.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
This is my job yeah, and it's like I wanna give you
guys the raw and the uncut.
But will you watch the raw andthe uncut?
Because at the end of the day,I still have to pay the bills,
because I've decided to makethis a career instead of first,
and because this is my lifestyle, so I have to fund it Right,
right, exactly.
And so, yeah, I feel like thatis the one time where people
kind of got this uncut, unraw,unfiltered version of me, but

(28:52):
then I didn't like it either,because then I felt like people
started using it as ammo towardsme.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
That's not what I was gonna ask next, because I did
see some TikToks and it's likeyou finally started responding
to people, or like the sentiment, or whatever.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, well, when I shared my son and I share what
I'm trying to conceive and Ishare all these things, then
it's like well, you know, youhave a life-threatening
hyperemesis, gravaderem disease.
Why, how dare you try to getpregnant?
How dare you try to haveanother kid when your kid has
heart condition?
How dare you have another kidwhen your kid has speech therapy
and speech problems and youdon't even care about the ones

(29:27):
you have?
So how dare you have more?
Whose place is it that makesyou not wanna share anything?
Why would I wanna tell youanything about me?
And as soon as I say, hey, I'mBrooke Ashley Hall and my kid's
suffering with a speech problem,and you use it and say well,
why would you wanna have morekids?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
So why would I tell you any more?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Because you're just gonna use it like so fling, so
I'm like okay, no fling, so it'slike okay.
I'd rather you say oh, allBrooke Ashley Hall has is her
house, is her personality,because it hurts a lot less than
you making fun of my children,oh you know.
So I need a pause on that.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah.
I mean adults could be bullied.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Adults are bullied.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
That's how kids learn it.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Geez, sorry, her people hurt people.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
No, I wanna cry, I could imagine that's okay,
because I think it is importantto be able to show no, it's okay
.
No, it's okay, yeah, I thinkit's okay to show that.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
I can feel emotion very easily, so I got yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
But yeah, I mean it's okay, like people are gonna say
what they have to say.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Well, yeah, I think people I'm saying it's okay that
you get emotional because, toyour point, everybody does see
the Brooke Ashley Hall that is,you know, doing all the stuff
and they probably think, becausethey're saying all these things
, it just rolls off.
But this is a moment to showthat it doesn't roll off Like
this is a human being who istrying to conceive, who is a

(30:55):
mother, who is trying to takecare of her son who is sick and
you know it's a lie, and whenyou hear things like sorry.
No, it's okay, Don't apologize.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
But like I was on live yesterday having a good
time just like doing my makeup,like sharing how to be positive,
and one of the comments like Itry so hard not to read comments
and I hate that because I builta community where I wanna hear
the people but when I hear themtoo much, my mom always told me
for every one negative thing yousay you have to say like 10

(31:29):
positive things to like helpsomeone and you'll hear all
these good ones and then you'llhear well, when's your son gonna
have his fourth cardiac arrest?
You know, like no.
Or they like wish death on yourchild that has already nearly
died.
And it's like why do you guyssay stuff like that, like oh,
that's awful, like why?
And I never like share that,you know, I just say, oh my gosh

(31:54):
, I wish them well in hell.
Ha ha ha.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
ha ha.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I've never heard that before.
I've never heard that beforeyou might hear that again.
Wow, so just know, this is hercredit when I say it, but I
might not say it.
I think I stole that from Cardi.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yes, oh yes, yes, wow , wow.
It came out at the right time.
I needed that.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
It's true, it's hard because you want to show
something aspirational.
We talk about fake it, so youmake it words matter, all of
that stuff.
So it's like you can still gothrough what you're going
through and present somethingelse.
Because it's like what I saidon one episode I'm not about to
be in bed crying every dayfeeling sorry for myself.
Like I control my life, Icontrol what happens from there
and whether it takes me hours tomake content or not, like

(32:42):
there's 99% of my life you don'tsee in the appointments that
I'm at and the stuff that I'mdealing with and what have you.
So it's like, like you said, ifthey aren't going to be there in
the right way for the realstuff, why would you show them
that?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Sometimes I feel like I have to withdraw.
How much is too much and whereis the line drawn?
And that's where I get to whereI'd be like I want to just go
off the grid.
What is it worth to have tohear this when I wake up and
don't get me wrong, I havecomment filters on and things so
I can protect myself and Iwon't look at them because I
don't want to see it.

(33:18):
But it's like how much is toomuch?
And it's not most like honestto God, I love my community.
We get like hundreds ofmillions of views a month Like
there's mostly 98% positivethere.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
My community is very positive.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, I will never discredit my audience cause
they're so positive and they'vebeen through me and they rode
with me through that entire timeand they prayed for me and they
uplifted me and they've alwaysbelieved in me and the core
audience they know what I'vebeen through and they know where
we come from and I love thatand those are the people I wake
up for.
But it's not to say that theones that do talk crap don't get

(33:54):
to you sometimes.
I just try my best to avoid it,but when you're getting it by
the thousands or by the hundreds, like it's noticeable, it's not
like just one comment.
You know Like it's like.
And then when people, whenpeople piggyback it and like it,
and then it's like oh my God,now all these people feel that
way too, and it's just like I'mstill a human.
You know Like I'm still aperson.
I know that you hate me becauseof what you see and you think

(34:16):
that it's unfair.
Yeah, but yes, a projection, Idon't think you can hate someone
, especially you never met, Likeyou can't.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
It's a reflection of what you don't have in your life
or what you want in your life.
It literally has nothing to dowith you, but you get to feel
all the effects of it, whichisn't fair.
But you know, hurt people.
Hurt people free, people freepeople but in no matter how,
because we learn to respond withlove and positivity, because
hopefully that rubs off on them.

(34:45):
But who was it?
Someone was talking aboutresident we talked to it still
leads a residue on you.
Like it's still.
You can pass off as much as youwant, but the more it happens,
the more that's left on you.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, yeah.
So, speaking of everything thatyou have really described with
the lifestyle and really why youdon't want to always go
unfiltered and uncut, I want totake it back to when we were
doing it's Giving Motherhood andwe slightly talked about the
friendships, would you say thathas a big role in it as well,

(35:17):
with how you've elevated duringthis time of your career.
Do you think it makes it hardfor you to really have a village
?

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yes, that has been the toughest thing for me.
Friendship in general is hard,especially when I feel like
you're a good person and youreally value friendships and
relationships.
But then you blow up intosuccess and now people are
coming out of nowhere that youjust you want to believe the

(35:46):
best of them because you thinkthat they want the best for you
as well.
And in friendships it's just sohard, like I prefer friendships
of people that almost like Ihave some influencer friends
don't get me wrong but I preferfriends that really don't care
about it, because I don't everwant to feel like my friendship
is based on my presence who youare.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
On social media.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Like I never want to feel like when I come hang out
with you, I have to yeah, I haveto film.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I have to tell people .

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I have plenty of friends that I hang out with and
no one would ever know.
You know, what I mean.
They just come to my community,we hang out, we listen to music
together.
I don't ever post about it onsocial media.
They don't have a ton offollowers.
They're just real, genuinepeople, even my neighbors.
They're just genuine.
Their intentions are pure.
They don't have any like.
I want what you want, which isI like that Like.

(36:42):
I like people to want what Iwant, but I don't like to feel
like our friendship iscontingent on what I have to
offer.
It's like a competition.
Do you ever feel like that?
Not even a competition.
I feel like it's sometimes likepeople want what you want so
badly that they need contentwith you, almost Like they need

(37:04):
content with you to survive,like, and you think it's just
fun and friendship.
But then it turns out to belike, no, like, like it could be
like, say, my dog goes viral.
Right, I'm not viral, but youonly want me to come over
because my dog's viral.
So now you need me to bring mydog.
Yeah, okay, because you know mydog's viral.

(37:24):
So it's like some people, somepeople, fame is a drug, fame is
a drug.
And when people get a taste ofthe fame and it's not even to
say like I'm famous, I'm thisbig hotshot, I've been seen a
lot, I'm an influencer.
I'm not considered an A-listcelebrity, like I'm just content
, I'm considered someone who hasinfluence to a lot of people I
sure am, and thank you.

(37:45):
But like it's a drug, like youdo crave it.
In a sense You're like, oh mygosh, I hit a million today, I
wanna hit a million tomorrow, Iwanna hit more millions the next
day.
And people sometimes infriendships they see that they
see increase, they wannaincrease too.
So it becomes less about afriendship and more about a
business exchange.
And I already have to run abusiness 24 seven with my

(38:08):
husband when I have a friend.
I wanna be able to just have afriend.
I don't wanna have to be on theclock creating content and like
some of my good influencerfriends, we are like that Like I
have a beautiful influencerfriend here, I come visit her
sometimes.
We don't have to create content, I just come kick it on the
couch, like I am right now.
We just chill.
Nobody ever knows we ever hungout.

(38:28):
I might post a story about likesomething that I'm there, but
it's cause I like her as afriend.
It's not cause, like, I needclout.
It's just I'm a friend.
I love you as a friend.
But friendships are hardbecause you have to pick and
choose so wisely of who reallywants to be your friend, who
really likes you or who'spretending to like you because

(38:50):
they really want what you have.
And it's hard because if youdidn't like me before I had
views and I was trying to getyou to hang out with me before I
had views and you kept dodgingme and like, oh, I can't hang
out here and there, but then allof a sudden you see, oh, I got
views.
Now all of a sudden you wannado some.

(39:11):
You wanna have you wanna hangout you wanna get the kids
together, you wanna have fun,you wanna like.
Then all of a sudden it's oh,okay, okay.
But I'm thinking, oh, somebodylikes me.
Like, wow, I have a friend.
I don't really have too manyfriends, so this is great, like
I have a friend.
But like it can be hardsometimes because people's
intentions, the intention behindthe friendship, is what matters

(39:33):
the most to me.
I don't like beneficial and Idon't like intentional
friendships.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
It's not just because we're all adults and we're
going through real life, Socialmedia and all that stuff.
That's great, cool, awesome,it's a job, but like you have
real life that you're goingthrough, so you need a friend to
be able to come over on thedays that you're not feeling
that great, or texting andsaying hey girl, I know you guys
are dealing a lot with the kids, or maybe you wanna hang out
with just your oldest son.

(39:58):
Let me go and take the otherones to the I don't know the
trampoline park or somethinglike that.
Like you need a friend to dothat type of stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Yeah, cause I feel like there's really back to the
competition thing.
I don't think there'scompetition in the influencer
world.
If you hang out withinfluencers that are already up
there doing their thing Like Idon't, you don't need me to come
over for you to crack someviews on your page.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
You don't need me to come over to crack some views
and I don't need you to comeover to crack some views for me.
But that's the sad thing aboutsocial media is it's like it's a
number game and everybody justwants numbers.
Numbers are what pays the bill,so everybody wants numbers and
it's like that's where itbecomes hard to have friendships
and why I think it's cool tohave friends in real estate and

(40:42):
I think it's cool to haveinvestor friends and I think
it's cool to have friends thatdon't do this.
Because then I don't feel likeyou're coming over to come do a
TikTok really quick.
You know stuff like that, sothat's really my biggest thing
in friendship.
I love friends and I love thefriends that I have Exactly.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
But you are open to new friends.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yes, okay, 100%, that's good, yeah, 100%.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Some people they get burned and then they're like no
new friends.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah, I got all that, especially how you started out,
Like it's similar to me.
Like you think everybody hasgood intentions until they don't
, Because you want to bepeople's friends.
Like you're still at like inyour core when you were before.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
I'm still a little Brooke from the trailer park
that likes friends.
Yeah so, yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
So your first thought is it like people want to be my
friends because of views or formoney Cause?
I've had people?
I think friends are moreinsulated.
People like want to work withme or help me because they think
they're going to get a check,so it's like.
But you really think peoplehave good cause, you have good
intentions, yes, so it's likesomeone wouldn't just do that
yes.
And then when I find out theydo, I'm just like I'll even be

(41:41):
asking Morgan sometimes, cause Idon't want to bring it up to
them, like you think.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
I'm like, yes, blair, I'm hurt.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
I don't know what your husband is.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Yes, he's bad for me.
Nevermind, I was about to gothere.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
but but yes, I'm usually the husband that I'm
like, no Blair.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Cause I feel bad, even thinking it sometimes,
cause I am not like that.
Yes, I'm like uh, and you'relike no.
No, I want the best for you.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Even though I know that you're thriving and I know
that you have an amazing life.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
I still want the best for you, even though I brought
it from the trenches Like I'mcoming out of nothing and I
literally have two pennies tomyself right now and I still
want to share with you, so youdon't even need it.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Can I clean your closet?
I need to make some money formy birthday.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I was like no.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
No, I've already got to take something.
It's really.
Yeah, I get stuff like that.
Yeah, see, and then you have tothink about people's intentions
Like they only want to takeshoes.
I don't want to help you or Icare about you.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
That is strange, I need some money.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
My birthday is coming up, I was like got it.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Yeah, and it's not like no, I know, did they text
you ever before?
No, no that's weird.
No See, that's yeah I don'tlike this kind of text either.
Sorry, but I have to put thatin the car.
So that is weird, that's what Isaid to you, is it Come?

Speaker 1 (42:49):
on.
See, yeah, that, yeah,friendships can be wiggie.
Yeah, they can just be kind ofon it.
But the thing that I thinkmatters the most is, like you
said, your intention.
Yeah, your intention was alwayspure from the beginning, so
you're always going to reap thereward of that intention.
And you have to always thinkthe people that had un-pure
intentions towards you.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
They're going to also reap the intention of that,
they're going to reap whathappens for you.
Well, there's the ones thatshare the story, because you've
moved on, you're like, oh, thankyou, husband, and you're
talking to your husband.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
They're the ones like , man Blair, she you know, or
Brooke she is, and it's justlike but I'm not just at home.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, yeah, but you're the problem.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Yeah, you have gone high, high, high.
You say all the millions ofviews, all the things.
Do you ever get in the momentwhere you're like this, is it?
Or are your ambitions still,especially as you're a mother?
You're still hoping to become amom of four and four?
Four and four.
I want to be a baby girl.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Yes, she said the girl and you're going to get
your girl.
You are the girl, mom is in you.
Yes, there, he is Somewhere.
Yes.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
So do you ever have that moment of you're like I
still have a lot of ambition andI have these things, or you're
kind of like this is it.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
You know, I position myself in a way to where I can't
run out, if that makes sense.
I like that, like I never getmyself in a place of complacency
to where I feel comfortableenough that I could tap out.
I always want to feel stretched.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
What's in game for you, like how far do you go down
the content, like, do you havea goal?
And like, when we do this, likethis is it, or is it like this
is now a lifestyle?
I mean it's lifestyle, but youknow what I mean.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
I don't plan on doing it forever.
I plan on moving the moneyaround.
I like being in real estate.
I like big monopoly pieces.
I like getting my money inhands on things that have
nothing to do with social media.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Because in game I don't want to do it long time.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
I like sharing but I don't care too much anymore.
Like it's not as much as like.
Like I like waking up every dayand sharing Don't get me wrong
but I like sharing real stuff.
Like I don't want to feel likeI have to wake up and show you
18 million different angles allthe time.
I like to do it.
It's fun because I'm a contentcreator and I like art.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
You want to get back to it being like a choice, like
doing what you want to do.
I want it to kind of be achoice, like I don't want to
have to wake up and make likeyou know, make it do what.
I have to do.
It's when the fun thing becomesa job.
So it's a job right now.
Anything becomes work and youwant to get to the point once
you can make it fun, like justfun again.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
So I'd say I think once our house is paid off in
full and I have my baby girl andyou know, we have enough
reserve to just live until wedie.
I love that.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
So if you have a boy, would you have one, would you?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
go one more time.
No, if you have a boy for thenext one, would you?
My husband wants two girls, sowe're kind of considering IVF
twins Okay, but I don't knowThat'll be the way.
I have really bad pregnancies,so I don't know.
But yeah, and I heard girlpregnancies are way harder.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Oh, my girl.
See, I'm not the person to ask,I have.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
I'm like the annoying pregnant person.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
I just.
It's like Disney princesspregnancy my daughter treated me
much better than my son.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
I know they say like girls do your.
Oh yeah, her son treated me theworst of all my pregnancy, so
you might be alright.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
See, then people say that the girls give you more
hormones or something like that.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
They say that, but who's they?
They are they.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe the girls might give me a
break.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yeah, I think they will Cause.
True, you had it all with yourboy.
So we're gonna say I did.
Yeah, we're gonna say Okay.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Last question yes, what do moms actually need to
hear?
What do you think Moms actuallyneed to hear right now?

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Moms actually need to hear that.
Oh, there's so much I couldjust go on and on.
That here like set yourintention, like your intention
is so meaningful and it's sopowerful and like I don't know
why I just learned this thisweek.
Okay, but setting yourintention and understanding,

(46:47):
because sometimes your intentionis off and when you just
slightly adjust that intentionit makes your day go so much
smoother.
Yeah, you're not so muchthinking like I don't want to
say evil, but you know likesometimes you can be like still
mad about something that you'veseen or something and like your
intention for the day.
Or your kid did something andlike it makes you like, oh my
God, and your intention is likeI want to get back at my kid

(47:10):
maybe.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
I don't know.
I never really had that kind ofintention about you.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
But I feel like if you just slightly adjusted to
like a learning experience or Iwant the best for my kid, so
even though my kid spilled milkall over the floor, I'm gonna
love him today.
Or I want the best for thisperson.
So, even though they did mewrong, I'm still gonna work it
out for good.
And like I feel like just themore that you set those
intentions, the more you reapback into your life better

(47:33):
things.
So like, obviously, I could goon and tell you like you're
doing great, you're doingamazing, but I feel like
intentions are so pure andyou're so worth it and
everything about you is justenough.
Like you are enough to fulfillyour day and to get your tasks
done and to get your scheduledone and to check off every box
on your to-do list.
Like you have everything insideof you to do that.

(47:54):
And yeah, that's basically whatI would say to moms today.
Well, you said it and that wasgood.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
That was so good and I'm sure that many mothers need
to hear that, so we are so, sograteful for you.
Thank you for just talking withus, Thank you for sharing,
Thank you for just actuallytaking off that you know what
you don't normally get to do andjust relaxing with us and
talking and giving other womenout there just something to

(48:23):
really hold on to, because Ithink again, so many women they
see the quick stuff and theydon't really get to hold on to
the meat.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
The substance of who you are.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Yeah, and so I do believe that you have inspired
many women who are either tryingto conceive or just trying to
make it, and they've come fromyou know a background where
you've come from, and now to seewhere you are, I'm pretty sure
that you were inspired so manywomen.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
That's one thing I have to add it.
Yeah, it's like no matter whereyou started I hope I just love
that she said that, because thathas always been the core of my
messaging on my social media isthat no matter where you start,
no matter what you've beenthrough, no matter if you don't
have a father, if you startedoff in a trailer, if you can't
get the best job, if you didn'tgraduate, if you can't get it,
no matter what the what, if,like, you still have everything

(49:13):
inside of you to make yourdreams a reality, like today.
Like today I'm not saying likeeveryone is gonna be this exact
version of me or exact versionof you but like you have exactly
what's in you to be the bestversion of yourself and I just
feel like that's so powerful.
And if anyone could see, like,if I can do it, like it blows my
mind to this day to know whereI was, and the journey to get

(49:34):
here was very, very, very longand hard, but just to know that
it's possible, I think, is whatpeople need to know it's
possible.
And if anyone can just give youa little tiny piece of hope to
know that it's possible, pleasetake it from me, take it from
these beautiful women.
Like your life can change in aninstant.
Like six months is enough,three months is enough, a week

(49:56):
is enough, like sometimes a dayis enough to just like change
your entire life, so never sleepon you.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yes, I love you girl.
Thank you so much.
You girls are amazing.
This is incredible.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
That's the best part is meeting just great people
through doing this.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Yeah, I think this is literally my favorite part of
what we do is we get to meetsuch amazing women and we
usually stick around, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Yeah, once you met us , you came here with us Super
glue, like your friends.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
It's like why is she DMing me?
Yeah, like you love it.
No, why did she think we werefriends?
Friends yeah, they thought wewere really friends.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
They didn't know that this was just like a little,
you know we really stick around,exactly so.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
