What unexpected impact could a chat about Cheez-Its and dating have on your well-being? Join me and my best friend, a child development and self-care guru, as we navigate the delightful chaos of our open-tab minds. Amidst laughter and randomness, we offer insights and practical strategies for both kids and adults. From the spontaneity of our conversation to the quirky connections we draw between topics, this episode is a playful exploration of friendship and life's lighter moments. Grab your favorite snack, and let's see where this wild ride takes us!
Our friendship has shaped us in ways we never imagined, and through our candid chats, we highlight how vital it is to have people who make us better. We share the value of finding joy in simplicity, whether it's through indulging in snacks or having genuine conversations. As we revisit the concept of our Pretty Powerful Girl program, we stress the importance of empowering each other while also stepping back to enjoy life's simple pleasures. The challenges of life are relentless, but so is the power of friendship to uplift and motivate us.
Ever pondered if a chatbot could replace your best friend? Our banter takes a humorous twist as we consider the quirks of AI and its cultural impact, drawing inspiration from films like "Inside Out 2." But there's more than just humor here; we introduce the "five rule" for positive living to help manage the overwhelming world of social media. Our lively discussion concludes with an invitation to embrace existence, emphasizing the value of mentorship and community through the Pretty Powerful Girl program. Tune in for a blend of humor, heart, and a few practical life hacks!

Oh my gosh.
Danielle La Rose (02:14):
Okay, welcome, Turn Up Squad.
We're back with another episodeand we're here joined with my
best friend, so you're in for aspecial treat of you know, we
don't even know yet what we'regoing to turn up.
If we're being honest, we'vebeen talking about lots of
things and we can't settle on anofficial theme of the day.
(02:36):
No, we're just going to talk.
Devan (02:38):
No but the theme is on brand.
For us Having no theme.
Yeah, we have like sevendifferent conversations at a
time.
Literally every app that we canhave a conversation, there is
something being said.
Listen, it's not even the apps.
Danielle La Rose (02:50):
When we're in person, we literally will go
from talking about Cheez-Its tothen we talk about chat, gpt,
and then we turn around and talkabout our dogs and we talk
about dating and then, likeliterally within five minutes,
we talk about seven differentthings.
It's open tabs.
Like, literally within fiveminutes, we talk about seven
different things.
It's open tabs.
As if I don't have enough opentabs.
Devan (03:08):
It's just how my brain works and I think is rubbed off
on you.
Okay, it could be that.
But I think that's just alittle seasoning added to your
life, added to my life, yeah.
Danielle La Rose (03:18):
Like that's like the best friend.
Yeah, like sprinkle.
Yeah, okay.
Devan (03:26):
What did I sprinkle into?
Danielle La Rose (03:27):
your life.
You made me a better human.
I wasn't always nice.
Look at us getting emotional.
I made you a better human.
So that's the test.
Maybe that's the turn up is howto find a friend that makes you
a better friend and then onethat makes you open up 70
million different tabs.
Yeah, and I remind you to smile.
And let's be clear here aswomen, we do not have to smile.
Devan (03:51):
No, but we also.
Well, I'll leave that in mybrain.
We have to smile sometimes.
Well, yes, I enjoy smiling.
We have really strong restingfaces.
Danielle La Rose (04:04):
Yes, they are very strong, if I don't smile, I
look like I'm mad and I amnever mad.
No, I shouldn't say never.
I mean I get mad, but that'sthe thing it's like.
If we don't smile, peopleautomatically will assume that
we hate the world.
Devan (04:18):
Yes, just because of how our faces look.
That's not fair.
Every 10, within a 10 10 minutecycle in my brain.
You tell yourself to smile.
It like pops up to the top ofthe to-do list.
Now smile.
Danielle La Rose (04:31):
I love that for you.
Anyways.
So, um, yeah, we're excited tobe here on the podcast today.
Um, so, devin, let's just behonest with our friends here,
okay, really Okay.
So like, let's say, the goal ofthis podcast today is that you
just get a sneak peek behind thescenes of like friendship and
we hope that you laugh and just,you know life is is rough for a
(04:54):
lot of people.
You know like life is life andsometimes, sometimes well, like
a lot of times, life, life'severy day, life gives no breaks.
It gives zero, zero x.
Devan (05:07):
There's no dance break and no, in the life it's not
like here.
Let's have a little fun.
Danielle La Rose (05:12):
Yeah, it's like life is always turning up
and not the ways that we'retrying to turn up on this
podcast, but just like turningup.
Devan (05:19):
Yeah, no, the moments where it's just steady and like
calm, those are the scariestmoments sometimes, because
you're like what's happeningnext?
When is it coming?
Danielle La Rose (05:30):
back?
No, but I do think, like somany people are feeling like the
life is lifing.
So I hope that sometimes, likeit's great to learn and it's
great to get motivated and it'sgreat to have all those things
which is obviously what we dowith, like our Pretty Powerful
Girl program oh, absolutelythings which is obviously what
we do with, like our prettypowerful girl program oh,
absolutely, like is that's thegoal?
Is like we want to help girlsand women like truly love who
they are and like step intotheir power and be confident,
(05:50):
all of those things and like.
But I also think that there'salso a time where you just need
a break from even themotivational stuff and you just
need to be like girlfriend, wejust need to have a real life
conversation to just let loose,talk about random stuff like our
cheez-its and chat gbd and justlaugh and just have snacks and
have a sit on the couch and justbe.
(06:11):
Why are you telling what we'redoing right now?
Devan (06:13):
the reason why I said cheese is love snacks right now,
we just killed wax I knowthat's literally.
Danielle La Rose (06:18):
I keep saying cheez-its because it's still
staring at me.
I think there's like sixcrackers, I know, and it's it's.
I feel bad, like why we leftthem behind.
Devan (06:27):
Oh, I was going to say I don't feel bad for eating them,
but, yeah, leaving them behindin the box, yeah, I feel bad for
the ones that are left Like.
Danielle La Rose (06:34):
So I feel like they're screaming at me right
now we can, we can, we cantotally well.
Yeah, cause like they'rescreaming at me right now, but
we're're.
We are just chilling on thecouch and having this
conversation and I just gottashare because I feel sometimes,
you know, I'm getting older.
I'm not old by any means.
I still feel like I'm 21sometimes, but like you,
sometimes, like you're eightyears younger than me, but you
(06:56):
allow me to feel cool still,thanks, because I'm ahead of you
and a lot of the technologystuff.
Devan (07:05):
You are.
You are way ahead of me, and itmakes me feel so good Y'all.
Danielle La Rose (07:08):
I was just sharing with her that about chat
GPT.
If you haven't used chat GPT orany like, so scared it doesn't,
why are you scared?
It doesn't make sense.
Scared of what?
Devan (07:20):
What if it knows me better than I know myself?
Danielle La Rose (07:22):
Well then, that's your job to figure out
yourself, but eventually,eventually, okay.
So like, let's be honest though, chad GPT, a lot of this is
just like social media we canchoose how we let it affect us.
Social media we can choose,like, how we receive stuff, who
we follow, how we have it in ourenvironment.
(07:42):
Yeah, chad GPT can be used forbad, but it's also.
It also can be used for a lotof good stuff.
I've just never used it.
I know I just get.
Look well, not here.
I just gave you 10.
She literally didn't believe meabout how smart it is and I
said homegirl, it is smart.
And so I said she had said giveme top motivational songs that
(08:03):
are like relevant.
And then it popped out allthese songs and she's like I
haven't even heard that one.
Well, you're welcome.
Yeah, thank you thank you,megan but yeah, I mean I just.
But again, I think chat GPT it'sjust like everything else, like
you have to use it in apositive way, in a way that will
support your life, like itdoesn't have to overcome your
(08:24):
life, it doesn't have to be thisdramatic thing, like it can be
super helpful and positive.
It could replace you and youjust said it's gonna be smarter
than you and know you betterthan you, so like let it replace
you, no, no, no, it couldreplace you for me.
Wait, excuse me exactly wait, soyou don't need me as your
(08:45):
friend anymore, if that'sworking really really hard.
Devan (08:49):
What if it replaces me for?
Danielle La Rose (08:51):
you.
You think I'm just gonna sit onmy computer like you're my best
friend.
You might be.
So now you think I'm a weirdo.
I'm just gonna sit and mycomputer, like you're my best
friend you might hate.
So now you think I'm a weirdo.
I'm just going to sit there.
Chat GPT is my best friend.
Chat GPT can't eat Cheez-ItsYet.
The power of yet I mean thepower of yet You're right.
Devan (09:12):
I saw something the other day where they were talking
about having um AIs carry babies.
Have you seen that?
No, yeah, so women can justcontinue to go to work.
They don't even have to carrytheir babies anymore.
They're thinking that thattechnology will be ready in six
years how does that work exactly?
Danielle La Rose (09:30):
how does that work?
Well, this right here, what I'mshowing you, is just pulling
from the internet.
It's not creating a baby.
I'm scared.
Well, you need to suck it up.
There's nothing to be.
We are trying to be fearless,not more scared.
What are you scared about?
This is going to help you.
Anyways, use it at your owndiscretion Scared.
Devan (09:51):
Have you watched Inside Out 2 yet?
No, you need to.
I know it's on my to-do list,you need to.
I, it's on my to-do list, youneed to.
I cried.
They introduced anxiety.
I was like same, oh geez, andthere's um boredom.
I, I think his name's on re, Idon't know.
(10:15):
It was very cool.
Cool, it was cool.
Yeah, just bored witheverything in life.
It's like meh, that, that meh.
Danielle La Rose (10:23):
I'm excited to watch it Me too.
It's on my list.
We're going to watch it.
I just haven't gotten a chanceto yet.
Anyway, do you want to sharemore with my um?
Devan (10:36):
like I didn't even I'm just like this is my best friend
.
And now let's talk aboutcheating.
That's all that matters.
That's all that matters.
Danielle La Rose (10:41):
No that's all that matters.
Like I mean, don't, you don'thave to be like do you?
Devan (10:45):
Yeah, well, no, I'm about to put you on the spot to be
very careful, okay, see, you seewhat I mean.
Like, how, how do you describeme?
And don't flip the question andsay, well, how do you describe
me?
I ask you first Well, now I'mlike, now I don't even know, see
(11:07):
but I probably that's how Ifeel when people are like tell
me about yourself.
Yeah, that's why I didn't wantto ask that whole story.
Isn't that annoying?
Where do you want me to start?
Danielle La Rose (11:15):
Like what do you want me to start?
Do you just want the positive?
Okay, so why don't I just askyou fun, random questions
instead of like tell me moreabout yourself?
Devan (11:21):
you know, Like because you don't want to answer that
question.
No, I don't.
Danielle La Rose (11:24):
And also every time you ask someone what's the
most interesting view and alsothe way.
Hire me because there's anopening people say like oh, tell
me something interesting aboutyourself.
Like almost 99% of people saythere's nothing interesting
about me.
Yeah, I start asking peoplelike tell me the like most basic
thing about you.
Devan (11:44):
I brush my teeth every morning I'm very proud of you
and every night look at that andI floss three times a day.
Danielle La Rose (11:52):
That is very impressive thank you you're
welcome, does your?
Does your dentist tell you todo that?
He loves me?
I'm not.
I mean, send your daughter apretty powerful girl program
because we'll teach them gooddental hygiene?
Yeah, well, I will, but dadwill.
Great, what a great answer tothat.
No, but I think when peopleintroduce, like when they ask me
(12:14):
about you, I'm just like she'sthe nicest, funnest human with
the biggest hunger.
Devan (12:17):
That's probably what I said.
That's probably what you say.
I mean, I'm pretty sure that'slike what I said.
Danielle La Rose (12:24):
I mean, I know that's not like groundbreaking
but like I think it is.
You think it?
Devan (12:30):
is that's deep?
Danielle La Rose (12:31):
Oh yeah, I mean I'm very.
I mean I'm very serious aboutmy friendship choosing.
So I'm very, I mean I'm veryserious about my friendship
choosing.
Devan (12:40):
So like I wouldn't oh I know I wouldn't choose you if I
didn't, if you didn't add valueto my life, I still can't
believe that we've been friendsas long as we have.
Yeah.
Danielle La Rose (12:49):
And don't ask me how long I don't know, but
yeah, sure.
Anyways, are you going tointroduce yourself to my friends
, to my community?
I thought you were going to askme questions.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Devan (13:03):
I didn't come prepared for this.
That's what I'm saying.
Danielle La Rose (13:06):
So I brush my teeth.
Okay, so you brush your teeth.
That's great.
If you could give one10-year-old girl a piece of
advice, what would it be?
Devan (13:18):
I feel like everyone always says be yourself, but I
don't even know what that means.
Um, because I think that we allkind of morph depending on who
we're around.
Like, yeah, it's undeniable,everyone does it.
Um, um.
So if I had to give advice to a10 year old girl, the biggest
(13:43):
piece of advice.
So I learned the five, the fiverule.
Have you heard the five rule?
I didn't know the five, it'sjust the five rule.
No, I didn't learn this until Iwas in college and one of my
mentors in college I had this.
(14:05):
It was this whole thing, thiswhole situation that we're not
going to talk about.
Okay, um, but she asked me.
She said will this affect youin five seconds?
I was like, absolutely, willthis affect you in five minutes,
five months, five years?
If it's not going to affect youin five months or five years,
that's not really a big deal.
Danielle La Rose (14:28):
Look at that mic drop of the moment.
Devan (14:30):
So that's my biggest takeaway, because when you're
younger, I mean, everythingaffects you and I think, as
adults, like, we look atsituations that are shared with
us sometimes and we're like it'snot a big deal, but it could be
(14:52):
a really big deal for her inthe moment.
Yeah, but five months from nowyou'll probably have other
friends.
Yeah, five years from nowyou're definitely going to be in
a different place.
So, true, so that's a goodpiece of advice.
The five rule I so.
True, so that's a good piece ofadvice.
I would teach the five rule Ilike that that's a good.
Danielle La Rose (15:08):
That's a good rule and I think it's really
important what you just said,because, especially when it
comes to social media, I hear somany like parents that are like
it's not a big deal, don'tworry about it, and it's like
social media is like their wholeworld.
Yes, when they're getting aphone and getting on social
media like that is their wholeworld, like, so to tell them
like, oh, it's not a big deal,like actually in their life and
(15:31):
their little brains that's likethe biggest deal ever and I
don't have any kids, but I wouldagain that five rule is so
important because what they postnow is going to come back in
five years and in five months.
Devan (15:44):
So I would also teach it through the lens of social media
.
Do you want to have that comeback?
That's good, because we can actmaliciously on social media.
It's very easy to do becauseyou're behind a screen, but if
that's not the reflection of whoyou actually are or want to be,
you probably shouldn't go thereso let's, let's take a little
(16:05):
pause, a little break here.
Danielle La Rose (16:08):
Then, like, if moms are listening and you do
have little ones in your life,like this five, the five rule
would be something for you touse and teach and help them with
, like right now, today.
And, let's also honest like wealso need this as adults.
Like I asked you about a 10year old, but like the same
advice you just gave is goodadvice for me, like the five
(16:31):
rule.
That's so cool.
Devan (16:32):
When I've seen stuff on social media that like really
ticks me off, even if it'ssomething that I didn't post,
but it's a comment made undersomeone else's post.
You take five minutes, youwrite down all of your feelings
in your notes section and thenyou take five deep breaths as
you delete it.
Look at you with all thesefives.
Five, the best check five.
That's a good one.
(16:54):
Just the five roll.
Danielle La Rose (16:56):
Just the five roll I like that a lot.
I feel like now our podcast canbe done like we got tips, we
got a little laugh, like all thethings like what, what?
else do you want from us?
No, but I mean, and we can bedone, like we got tips, we got a
little laugh, like all thethings.
Like what else do you want fromus?
No, but I mean, and we can bedone, because we want to keep
these short and sweet, to thepoint, so that way humans can
like get on with their lives.
But I do think that's like ifyou can turn up one thing today,
it's using that five method.
I think is our big takeaway.
(17:16):
Now, we came here with thatintention of sharing that, of
like this was all planned.
Devan (17:25):
Oh, sharing that of like this was all planned.
Danielle La Rose (17:26):
Oh, absolutely .
That's exactly.
I hope you know more about menow.
Okay, but you said you didn'thave kids.
But you do have.
You do have a child and he'scrying right now.
Devan (17:33):
Yeah.
A hundred pound German shepherd.
I do, I do he's, he's great.
He's up there taking deepbreaths, yeah, like he's been up
there for five hours.
Danielle La Rose (17:46):
And what, what , yeah, anything else you want
to share with us.
I mean, okay, so Devin will bea regular on the podcast because
, if you don't know, her and Ihave co-founded the pretty
powerful girl program which isour.
We'll have a virtual programwith quarterly empowerment boxes
that come with fun, challengesand stuff, um, and support for
moms.
And then we also have our livein-person events that are local,
(18:09):
here where we are, that we doour self-love soar away.
We can't really share anythingelse, but we have two other
events.
I almost was about to say like,but they are, but like, but
like.
I love that.
We are like we have long to dolist, but like we literally have
our events for next year likeplanned already.
Devan (18:29):
Yeah, they're done, they are completely done.
Our spaces are reserved.
It's great, it's so wonderful,we're so excited.
Danielle La Rose (18:35):
So, yeah, so we well, we were friends, we
became friends through thehealth and fitness world and
then I don't really know, Ithink one time I was like Devin,
I have this idea and you werelike I'm on board, let's do that
.
And now it's been two yearssince we've had the pre-pup for
us.
We just keep doing, just keepdoing it and but we keep growing
(18:55):
and having different ideas andshifting and changing based on,
like, what people need, which isa lot of fun.
Yeah, so I don't know, get youa depth that I always that's how
I feel.
I feel like people need a demonin their life, not mine, you
can't have mine, but like, well,she has other friends that I
allow.
You know, there's like a couplethat I'm like, okay, you can be
friends with them, but like nomore you're not allowed to have
(19:16):
any more friends.
I need you all to know thatsounds very controlling.
Don't have a friend like that.
I feel this way.
Do not choose a friend that'slike you can only be my friend.
That's terrible, I'm joking.
I'm joking, but yeah, so no, Ijust think that it's really cool
how our friendship has evolved,and I just think it's really
(19:39):
cool and I appreciate that.
Devan (19:42):
I mean, you know, it's kind of business though, like
just life.
Danielle La Rose (19:46):
Well, yeah, we do all life, all the friends
stuff.
All the friends stuff, but alsoit's hard to find friends that
want to do friend stuff and alsowho are supportive of, like
your crazy goals and dreams andall the things that are like
I'll jump on board and likesupport that Most of the time,
if someone shares that they'regoing to start a new business or
do something like their friendsare the first ones who are like
I'm not going to help with that, I'm not interested.
(20:08):
Oh my God, I can't believeshe's doing that, you know.
So I just yeah, you're one in amillion.
Look at that.
I'm taking it way too far.
This is getting awkward.
Okay, your head is getting toobig.
Now it's getting a little big.
So, anyways, the point is that,um, we'll be back for regular
friend talk, and I didn't evenplay on the whole turn up
(20:30):
playlist, vibe, I didn't do anyof that.
Okay, what's your?
Devan (20:34):
so let's end it with.
Let's end it with this.
Danielle La Rose (20:36):
What is your um, your turn up song?
Like what's the one song you goto?
That's like your hype song.
If you have to get motivatedand energized, you're like
that's the one.
Devan (20:48):
Oh crap, you don't have one.
I don't what I don't.
Have I not taught you anything?
No, listen you all of the music.
But you also know how my brainworks.
Yeah, my brain shifts.
So I could be in the best moodever and she will walk into my
(21:10):
house and there will be likeclassical music playing in the
background.
Yeah, or I could have like areally sad song on and be in a
great mood.
I Okay.
Danielle La Rose (21:23):
So this was the wrong question to ask.
Because I was just thinkinglike okay, what are you turning
up for yourself recently, like,what are the thoughts or the
things that you're doing foryourself to help you turn up to
be the best version of you?
Devan (21:38):
Um, self-care.
Ooh, what's your favorite thingto do for self-care?
I go and get a facial once amonth shout out to our girls.
I love this so much.
Um, I also have allowed myselflike 10 minutes to just like be,
because I feel like my to-dolist is so long and there's
(21:59):
always 500 things to do.
So just like 10 minutes toexist.
10 minutes to exist yeah well,that was good.

child development and all thethings like multiple degrees and
all of this stuff that blows mymind of all the things she
knows.
So if you are someone that'slike, oh my gosh, I have a
daughter and she needs to havesome sort of mentorship or

feel like you're just sittingwith two of your best friends
having the most randomconversations, having no idea
where the conversation was gonnago, because that's exactly what
happened when I was hanging outwith my best friend and I said
hey, homegirl, do you wanna justhit record and let's just
record a podcast?
So this is off the cuff.
We had no idea what we weregonna talk about, but it ends up

perfect to take action andinstead of letting this
incredible conversation that wasso fun, that made me laugh and
brought me so much joy, I don'twant to just let this sit on my
computer and say, well, it's notgood enough quality to put out
into the world, so I'm puttingit out.

(01:30):
decided, after hearing from someof you that you're searching

I will share it with you here.
All right, let's jump into thisepisode.
Okay, are you ready?
Can we actually record apodcast?
I don't know.
Can we?
Okay, we'll get it together.
We are officially recording.
Devan (02:10):
Okay, okay, I'm still not together.
I've really been working onthat.
Oh my gosh.
Danielle La Rose (02:14):
Okay, welcome, Turn Up Squad.
We're back with another episodeand we're here joined with my
best friend, so you're in for aspecial treat of you know, we
don't even know yet what we'regoing to turn up.
If we're being honest, we'vebeen talking about lots of
things and we can't settle on anofficial theme of the day.
(02:36):
No, we're just going to talk.
Devan (02:38):
No but the theme is on brand.
For us Having no theme.
Yeah, we have like sevendifferent conversations at a
time.
Literally every app that we canhave a conversation, there is
something being said.
Listen, it's not even the apps.
Danielle La Rose (02:50):
When we're in person, we literally will go
from talking about Cheez-Its tothen we talk about chat, gpt,
and then we turn around and talkabout our dogs and we talk
about dating and then, likeliterally within five minutes,
we talk about seven differentthings.
It's open tabs.
Like, literally within fiveminutes, we talk about seven
different things.
It's open tabs.
As if I don't have enough opentabs.
Devan (03:08):
It's just how my brain works and I think is rubbed off
on you.
Okay, it could be that.
But I think that's just alittle seasoning added to your
life, added to my life, yeah.
Danielle La Rose (03:18):
Like that's like the best friend.
Yeah, like sprinkle.
Yeah, okay.
Devan (03:26):
What did I sprinkle into?
Danielle La Rose (03:27):
your life.
You made me a better human.
I wasn't always nice.
Look at us getting emotional.
I made you a better human.
So that's the test.
Maybe that's the turn up is howto find a friend that makes you
a better friend and then onethat makes you open up 70
million different tabs.
Yeah, and I remind you to smile.
And let's be clear here aswomen, we do not have to smile.
Devan (03:51):
No, but we also.
Well, I'll leave that in mybrain.
We have to smile sometimes.
Well, yes, I enjoy smiling.
We have really strong restingfaces.
Danielle La Rose (04:04):
Yes, they are very strong, if I don't smile, I
look like I'm mad and I amnever mad.
No, I shouldn't say never.
I mean I get mad, but that'sthe thing it's like.
If we don't smile, peopleautomatically will assume that
we hate the world.
Devan (04:18):
Yes, just because of how our faces look.
That's not fair.
Every 10, within a 10 10 minutecycle in my brain.
You tell yourself to smile.
It like pops up to the top ofthe to-do list.
Now smile.
Danielle La Rose (04:31):
I love that for you.
Anyways.
So, um, yeah, we're excited tobe here on the podcast today.
Um, so, devin, let's just behonest with our friends here,
okay, really Okay.
So like, let's say, the goal ofthis podcast today is that you
just get a sneak peek behind thescenes of like friendship and
we hope that you laugh and just,you know life is is rough for a
(04:54):
lot of people.
You know like life is life andsometimes, sometimes well, like
a lot of times, life, life'severy day, life gives no breaks.
It gives zero, zero x.
Devan (05:07):
There's no dance break and no, in the life it's not
like here.
Let's have a little fun.
Danielle La Rose (05:12):
Yeah, it's like life is always turning up
and not the ways that we'retrying to turn up on this
podcast, but just like turningup.
Devan (05:19):
Yeah, no, the moments where it's just steady and like
calm, those are the scariestmoments sometimes, because
you're like what's happeningnext?
When is it coming?
Danielle La Rose (05:30):
back?
No, but I do think, like somany people are feeling like the
life is lifing.
So I hope that sometimes, likeit's great to learn and it's
great to get motivated and it'sgreat to have all those things
which is obviously what we dowith, like our Pretty Powerful
Girl program oh, absolutelythings which is obviously what
we do with, like our prettypowerful girl program oh,
absolutely, like is that's thegoal?
Is like we want to help girlsand women like truly love who
they are and like step intotheir power and be confident,
(05:50):
all of those things and like.
But I also think that there'salso a time where you just need
a break from even themotivational stuff and you just
need to be like girlfriend, wejust need to have a real life
conversation to just let loose,talk about random stuff like our
cheez-its and chat gbd and justlaugh and just have snacks and
have a sit on the couch and justbe.
(06:11):
Why are you telling what we'redoing right now?
Devan (06:13):
the reason why I said cheese is love snacks right now,
we just killed wax I knowthat's literally.
Danielle La Rose (06:18):
I keep saying cheez-its because it's still
staring at me.
I think there's like sixcrackers, I know, and it's it's.
I feel bad, like why we leftthem behind.
Devan (06:27):
Oh, I was going to say I don't feel bad for eating them,
but, yeah, leaving them behindin the box, yeah, I feel bad for
the ones that are left Like.
Danielle La Rose (06:34):
So I feel like they're screaming at me right
now we can, we can, we cantotally well.
Yeah, cause like they'rescreaming at me right now, but
we're're.
We are just chilling on thecouch and having this
conversation and I just gottashare because I feel sometimes,
you know, I'm getting older.
I'm not old by any means.
I still feel like I'm 21sometimes, but like you,
sometimes, like you're eightyears younger than me, but you
(06:56):
allow me to feel cool still,thanks, because I'm ahead of you
and a lot of the technologystuff.
Devan (07:05):
You are.
You are way ahead of me, and itmakes me feel so good Y'all.
Danielle La Rose (07:08):
I was just sharing with her that about chat
GPT.
If you haven't used chat GPT orany like, so scared it doesn't,
why are you scared?
It doesn't make sense.
Scared of what?
Devan (07:20):
What if it knows me better than I know myself?
Danielle La Rose (07:22):
Well then, that's your job to figure out
yourself, but eventually,eventually, okay.
So like, let's be honest though, chad GPT, a lot of this is
just like social media we canchoose how we let it affect us.
Social media we can choose,like, how we receive stuff, who
we follow, how we have it in ourenvironment.
(07:42):
Yeah, chad GPT can be used forbad, but it's also.
It also can be used for a lotof good stuff.
I've just never used it.
I know I just get.
Look well, not here.
I just gave you 10.
She literally didn't believe meabout how smart it is and I
said homegirl, it is smart.
And so I said she had said giveme top motivational songs that
(08:03):
are like relevant.
And then it popped out allthese songs and she's like I
haven't even heard that one.
Well, you're welcome.
Yeah, thank you thank you,megan but yeah, I mean I just.
But again, I think chat GPT it'sjust like everything else, like
you have to use it in apositive way, in a way that will
support your life, like itdoesn't have to overcome your
(08:24):
life, it doesn't have to be thisdramatic thing, like it can be
super helpful and positive.
It could replace you and youjust said it's gonna be smarter
than you and know you betterthan you, so like let it replace
you, no, no, no, it couldreplace you for me.
Wait, excuse me exactly wait, soyou don't need me as your
(08:45):
friend anymore, if that'sworking really really hard.
Devan (08:49):
What if it replaces me for?
Danielle La Rose (08:51):
you.
You think I'm just gonna sit onmy computer like you're my best
friend.
You might be.
So now you think I'm a weirdo.
I'm just gonna sit and mycomputer, like you're my best
friend you might hate.
So now you think I'm a weirdo.
I'm just going to sit there.
Chat GPT is my best friend.
Chat GPT can't eat Cheez-ItsYet.
The power of yet I mean thepower of yet You're right.
Devan (09:12):
I saw something the other day where they were talking
about having um AIs carry babies.
Have you seen that?
No, yeah, so women can justcontinue to go to work.
They don't even have to carrytheir babies anymore.
They're thinking that thattechnology will be ready in six
years how does that work exactly?
Danielle La Rose (09:30):
how does that work?
Well, this right here, what I'mshowing you, is just pulling
from the internet.
It's not creating a baby.
I'm scared.
Well, you need to suck it up.
There's nothing to be.
We are trying to be fearless,not more scared.
What are you scared about?
This is going to help you.
Anyways, use it at your owndiscretion Scared.
Devan (09:51):
Have you watched Inside Out 2 yet?
No, you need to.
I know it's on my to-do list,you need to.
I, it's on my to-do list, youneed to.
I cried.
They introduced anxiety.
I was like same, oh geez, andthere's um boredom.
I, I think his name's on re, Idon't know.
(10:15):
It was very cool.
Cool, it was cool.
Yeah, just bored witheverything in life.
It's like meh, that, that meh.
Danielle La Rose (10:23):
I'm excited to watch it Me too.
It's on my list.
We're going to watch it.
I just haven't gotten a chanceto yet.
Anyway, do you want to sharemore with my um?
Devan (10:36):
like I didn't even I'm just like this is my best friend
.
And now let's talk aboutcheating.
That's all that matters.
That's all that matters.
Danielle La Rose (10:41):
No that's all that matters.
Like I mean, don't, you don'thave to be like do you?
Devan (10:45):
Yeah, well, no, I'm about to put you on the spot to be
very careful, okay, see, you seewhat I mean.
Like, how, how do you describeme?
And don't flip the question andsay, well, how do you describe
me?
I ask you first Well, now I'mlike, now I don't even know, see
(11:07):
but I probably that's how Ifeel when people are like tell
me about yourself.
Yeah, that's why I didn't wantto ask that whole story.
Isn't that annoying?
Where do you want me to start?
Danielle La Rose (11:15):
Like what do you want me to start?
Do you just want the positive?
Okay, so why don't I just askyou fun, random questions
instead of like tell me moreabout yourself?
Devan (11:21):
you know, Like because you don't want to answer that
question.
No, I don't.
Danielle La Rose (11:24):
And also every time you ask someone what's the
most interesting view and alsothe way.
Hire me because there's anopening people say like oh, tell
me something interesting aboutyourself.
Like almost 99% of people saythere's nothing interesting
about me.
Yeah, I start asking peoplelike tell me the like most basic
thing about you.
Devan (11:44):
I brush my teeth every morning I'm very proud of you
and every night look at that andI floss three times a day.
Danielle La Rose (11:52):
That is very impressive thank you you're
welcome, does your?
Does your dentist tell you todo that?
He loves me?
I'm not.
I mean, send your daughter apretty powerful girl program
because we'll teach them gooddental hygiene?
Yeah, well, I will, but dadwill.
Great, what a great answer tothat.
No, but I think when peopleintroduce, like when they ask me
(12:14):
about you, I'm just like she'sthe nicest, funnest human with
the biggest hunger.
Devan (12:17):
That's probably what I said.
That's probably what you say.
I mean, I'm pretty sure that'slike what I said.
Danielle La Rose (12:24):
I mean, I know that's not like groundbreaking
but like I think it is.
You think it?
Devan (12:30):
is that's deep?
Danielle La Rose (12:31):
Oh yeah, I mean I'm very.
I mean I'm very serious aboutmy friendship choosing.
So I'm very, I mean I'm veryserious about my friendship
choosing.
Devan (12:40):
So like I wouldn't oh I know I wouldn't choose you if I
didn't, if you didn't add valueto my life, I still can't
believe that we've been friendsas long as we have.
Yeah.
Danielle La Rose (12:49):
And don't ask me how long I don't know, but
yeah, sure.
Anyways, are you going tointroduce yourself to my friends
, to my community?
I thought you were going to askme questions.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Devan (13:03):
I didn't come prepared for this.
That's what I'm saying.
Danielle La Rose (13:06):
So I brush my teeth.
Okay, so you brush your teeth.
That's great.
If you could give one10-year-old girl a piece of
advice, what would it be?
Devan (13:18):
I feel like everyone always says be yourself, but I
don't even know what that means.
Um, because I think that we allkind of morph depending on who
we're around.
Like, yeah, it's undeniable,everyone does it.
Um, um.
So if I had to give advice to a10 year old girl, the biggest
(13:43):
piece of advice.
So I learned the five, the fiverule.
Have you heard the five rule?
I didn't know the five, it'sjust the five rule.
No, I didn't learn this until Iwas in college and one of my
mentors in college I had this.
(14:05):
It was this whole thing, thiswhole situation that we're not
going to talk about.
Okay, um, but she asked me.
She said will this affect youin five seconds?
I was like, absolutely, willthis affect you in five minutes,
five months, five years?
If it's not going to affect youin five months or five years,
that's not really a big deal.
Danielle La Rose (14:28):
Look at that mic drop of the moment.
Devan (14:30):
So that's my biggest takeaway, because when you're
younger, I mean, everythingaffects you and I think, as
adults, like, we look atsituations that are shared with
us sometimes and we're like it'snot a big deal, but it could be
(14:52):
a really big deal for her inthe moment.
Yeah, but five months from nowyou'll probably have other
friends.
Yeah, five years from nowyou're definitely going to be in
a different place.
So, true, so that's a goodpiece of advice.
The five rule I so.
True, so that's a good piece ofadvice.
I would teach the five rule Ilike that that's a good.
Danielle La Rose (15:08):
That's a good rule and I think it's really
important what you just said,because, especially when it
comes to social media, I hear somany like parents that are like
it's not a big deal, don'tworry about it, and it's like
social media is like their wholeworld.
Yes, when they're getting aphone and getting on social
media like that is their wholeworld, like, so to tell them
like, oh, it's not a big deal,like actually in their life and
(15:31):
their little brains that's likethe biggest deal ever and I
don't have any kids, but I wouldagain that five rule is so
important because what they postnow is going to come back in
five years and in five months.
Devan (15:44):
So I would also teach it through the lens of social media
.
Do you want to have that comeback?
That's good, because we can actmaliciously on social media.
It's very easy to do becauseyou're behind a screen, but if
that's not the reflection of whoyou actually are or want to be,
you probably shouldn't go thereso let's, let's take a little
(16:05):
pause, a little break here.
Danielle La Rose (16:08):
Then, like, if moms are listening and you do
have little ones in your life,like this five, the five rule
would be something for you touse and teach and help them with
, like right now, today.
And, let's also honest like wealso need this as adults.
Like I asked you about a 10year old, but like the same
advice you just gave is goodadvice for me, like the five
(16:31):
rule.
That's so cool.
Devan (16:32):
When I've seen stuff on social media that like really
ticks me off, even if it'ssomething that I didn't post,
but it's a comment made undersomeone else's post.
You take five minutes, youwrite down all of your feelings
in your notes section and thenyou take five deep breaths as
you delete it.
Look at you with all thesefives.
Five, the best check five.
That's a good one.
(16:54):
Just the five roll.
Danielle La Rose (16:56):
Just the five roll I like that a lot.
I feel like now our podcast canbe done like we got tips, we
got a little laugh, like all thethings like what, what?
else do you want from us?
No, but I mean, and we can bedone, like we got tips, we got a
little laugh, like all thethings.
Like what else do you want fromus?
No, but I mean, and we can bedone, because we want to keep
these short and sweet, to thepoint, so that way humans can
like get on with their lives.
But I do think that's like ifyou can turn up one thing today,
it's using that five method.
I think is our big takeaway.
(17:16):
Now, we came here with thatintention of sharing that, of
like this was all planned.
Devan (17:25):
Oh, sharing that of like this was all planned.
Danielle La Rose (17:26):
Oh, absolutely .
That's exactly.
I hope you know more about menow.
Okay, but you said you didn'thave kids.
But you do have.
You do have a child and he'scrying right now.
Devan (17:33):
Yeah.
A hundred pound German shepherd.
I do, I do he's, he's great.
He's up there taking deepbreaths, yeah, like he's been up
there for five hours.
Danielle La Rose (17:46):
And what, what , yeah, anything else you want
to share with us.
I mean, okay, so Devin will bea regular on the podcast because
, if you don't know, her and Ihave co-founded the pretty
powerful girl program which isour.
We'll have a virtual programwith quarterly empowerment boxes
that come with fun, challengesand stuff, um, and support for
moms.
And then we also have our livein-person events that are local,
(18:09):
here where we are, that we doour self-love soar away.
We can't really share anythingelse, but we have two other
events.
I almost was about to say like,but they are, but like, but
like.
I love that.
We are like we have long to dolist, but like we literally have
our events for next year likeplanned already.
Devan (18:29):
Yeah, they're done, they are completely done.
Our spaces are reserved.
It's great, it's so wonderful,we're so excited.
Danielle La Rose (18:35):
So, yeah, so we well, we were friends, we
became friends through thehealth and fitness world and
then I don't really know, Ithink one time I was like Devin,
I have this idea and you werelike I'm on board, let's do that
.
And now it's been two yearssince we've had the pre-pup for
us.
We just keep doing, just keepdoing it and but we keep growing
(18:55):
and having different ideas andshifting and changing based on,
like, what people need, which isa lot of fun.
Yeah, so I don't know, get youa depth that I always that's how
I feel.
I feel like people need a demonin their life, not mine, you
can't have mine, but like, well,she has other friends that I
allow.
You know, there's like a couplethat I'm like, okay, you can be
friends with them, but like nomore you're not allowed to have
(19:16):
any more friends.
I need you all to know thatsounds very controlling.
Don't have a friend like that.
I feel this way.
Do not choose a friend that'slike you can only be my friend.
That's terrible, I'm joking.
I'm joking, but yeah, so no, Ijust think that it's really cool
how our friendship has evolved,and I just think it's really
(19:39):
cool and I appreciate that.
Devan (19:42):
I mean, you know, it's kind of business though, like
just life.
Danielle La Rose (19:46):
Well, yeah, we do all life, all the friends
stuff.
All the friends stuff, but alsoit's hard to find friends that
want to do friend stuff and alsowho are supportive of, like
your crazy goals and dreams andall the things that are like
I'll jump on board and likesupport that Most of the time,
if someone shares that they'regoing to start a new business or
do something like their friendsare the first ones who are like
I'm not going to help with that, I'm not interested.
(20:08):
Oh my God, I can't believeshe's doing that, you know.
So I just yeah, you're one in amillion.
Look at that.
I'm taking it way too far.
This is getting awkward.
Okay, your head is getting toobig.
Now it's getting a little big.
So, anyways, the point is that,um, we'll be back for regular
friend talk, and I didn't evenplay on the whole turn up
(20:30):
playlist, vibe, I didn't do anyof that.
Okay, what's your?
Devan (20:34):
so let's end it with.
Let's end it with this.
Danielle La Rose (20:36):
What is your um, your turn up song?
Like what's the one song you goto?
That's like your hype song.
If you have to get motivatedand energized, you're like
that's the one.
Devan (20:48):
Oh crap, you don't have one.
I don't what I don't.
Have I not taught you anything?
No, listen you all of the music.
But you also know how my brainworks.
Yeah, my brain shifts.
So I could be in the best moodever and she will walk into my
(21:10):
house and there will be likeclassical music playing in the
background.
Yeah, or I could have like areally sad song on and be in a
great mood.
I Okay.
Danielle La Rose (21:23):
So this was the wrong question to ask.
Because I was just thinkinglike okay, what are you turning
up for yourself recently, like,what are the thoughts or the
things that you're doing foryourself to help you turn up to
be the best version of you?
Devan (21:38):
Um, self-care.
Ooh, what's your favorite thingto do for self-care?
I go and get a facial once amonth shout out to our girls.
I love this so much.
Um, I also have allowed myselflike 10 minutes to just like be,
because I feel like my to-dolist is so long and there's
(21:59):
always 500 things to do.
So just like 10 minutes toexist.
10 minutes to exist yeah well,that was good.
Danielle La Rose (22:08):
Thank you for sharing.
Devon, you're welcome.
