Loren LoRosa gets real about learning to grow, heal, and figure life out in front of the world. She opens up about finding confidence after an exhausting week and the challenges of balancing family, career, and being the person everyone counts on. Loren also breaks down Megan Thee Stallion’s candid conversation with Michelle Obama about bad days, grief, happiness, and learning to actually feel your emotions instead of always trying to fix them. Plus, Loren reflects on why success and happiness can sometimes come with anxiety—and why it’s important to finally give yourself permission to celebrate how far you’ve come.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegirwl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right la, Hey, y'all,
what's up.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Laura de Rosa and this is another episode of
The Latest with Laura le Rosa. This is your daily
dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all
of the conversations that shake the room.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
So y'all know when we start the show, be checking
behind the scenes of the grind, So let's get on
into it. I don't know what it is about today
in this week, but I am feeling confident today and
I'm gonna be honest with y'all that is not always

(00:43):
the case, you know what I'm saying. You know, I'll
be putting it together looking like I got it together.
But I think one of the biggest things that I'm
learning about what I believe God is telling me A
big part of my purposes is learning and growing in
front of the world and letting people and showing people
through that that showing them that it's okay that that happens.

(01:07):
That everything is not always together. You don't have to
pretend like everything is always together. And honestly, I feel
like going through it builds character, and I don't like
I'm not one of them people that feels like, you know,
especially as black people, we should always be in the
struggle and finding the struggle and you know what I mean, Like, no,
I feel like there should be we should be able
to romanticize our lives and love our lives. And one

(01:31):
of the biggest things that I learned, Hi, I'm doing
my podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
You're coming in? Okay? So that was Netflix. Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'm recording here at the Breakfast Club studio, so Netflix
may come in and watch me record the podcast live.
So if you are listening to this, make sure you
go and check the Netflix episode for August thirteenth, because
you may see me behind the scenes recording the podcast.
But yeah, one of the biggest things that I've because
I'm always trying to figure.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Out like.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
If I'm in tune and tapt in enough to be
able to hear God as I'm on this mission in
this journey of life, and I always pray that God
orders my steps. And when I pray that it's not
just like a day to day thing, I am saying
it in a day to day but I also follow
up with show me your purpose for me, Reveal your purpose,

(02:18):
revealed your divine order as you please, and make sure
that my steps, whether I'm making the great decision as
I make those steps or the worst decision as I
make those steps, I just want to make sure it's
aligned and that this is all a part of your
divine plan and nothing of my own doing. And that
has been such an interesting journey because it feels really
really good when you're getting right in front of the people,

(02:40):
but it can also feel really really bad when you're
not getting it right in front of the people and
having to learn accountability in all of that season of things.
So today it's one of those days where I'm just
I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling good about what I do,
what I know how to do. You know, last weekend
was really a lot for me. I don't know if

(03:01):
you guys heard it in the beginning of this week
and some of our behind the scenes of the Grinds
check ins, but I was like so depleted energy wise
because there was a lot that I had to figure
out really really fast. I let you guys know that
my grandmother, you know, she's just getting older and things
are changing, like you know, she needs a little bit
more help around the home and all that and all
that jazz. So having to go and figure out that

(03:24):
in like forty eight hours because she had gotten to
the point where she had an episode where like she
couldn't breathe and like she was having chest pains and
we didn't know if it was like a heart attack
or what was happening. And when that happens, it's really
really scary for her, it's scary for us. But one
of the things that came out of that as me
and my grandmother were able to have a really honest
conversation about the fact that she's finally accepting that she

(03:46):
needs the help, which has been my fight and my
battle and my struggle in all of this. I can't
do anything for her that she doesn't want me to
do for her. I have to allow her to still
live her life because she's she's human. She's able to
do for herself still, so she just needs a little assistance.
And I never want to step on that. What I've
learned with people as they're aging, like I'm talking about
my journey and being able to like live and grow

(04:08):
and do well and mess up in front of the world.
But it's crazy how like when you get older things
come full circle. Because right now in front of the world,
and you know, my grandma's dealing with the fact that,
like a lot of her friends, she's actually lost them.
She's not able to do and maneuver the things that
she used to do, so mentally that takes.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
A toll on her.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
So the last four y eight hours of last week
and was me dealing with that and trying to get
that back on tracks so that I would even be
able to be free enough to come back to work.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I'm finally at a good place with everything right.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
So we're balancing things and we're doing all these things,
and a lot of times you don't feel like you
got the flow right. I don't know what it is
about today and it's good old Thursday, but y'all, I'm
feeling like I got the flow right today.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
So I'm on a high right now. Let's get on
into the latest.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
So a lot of times, you know, when you're talking
about celebrity and you're talking about things growing, it's really
really tough to admit a lot of things y'all just
hurt me admit like you don't always have it together,
and I don't even I don't consider myself a celebrity whatsoever.
But all the things that are happening and that I'm
doing right now is literally happening in front of the world,

(05:15):
and that's not the easiest thing. Megdae Stallion, you're talking
about things happening in front of the world. You know,
she lost her father and her mother and then became
Tina Snow. That was the first era of Megda Sallion
in her fame. We've seen her go through, you know,
fighting a bad label contract. We've seen her go through
the trial with Tory Lanez. We've seen her consistently to

(05:36):
this day, go through all of the dragging on social
media that happens because I don't know, people just love
to not like Megda Sallion. And she's been honest about
the emotional toll that it has taken on her before.
But she did a sit down interview which she rarely does,
one really in depth with Michelle Obama and Michelle Obama's brother,
Craig Robinson for Michelle Obama's podcast in my opinion, and

(06:01):
I want to get into some of that conversation. So
the first clip that you guys are Gonn to listen to.
This is Megdae Stallion and Michelle Obama talking about navigating
a bad day, because we all have them. But what
was interesting to hear was that they talk about it
from where they are in their perspectives of life. Right
you look at Megdae Stallionaire's all the money, and you
know she's finally able to provide for herself and do

(06:23):
things for her family. Michelle Obama is our forever first lady,
you know, Barack Obama are forever president. And they talk
about how even in those dynamics, it's tough and they
have to be able to feel their feels.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Let's take a listen.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I used to feel like when I have a bad day,
I have to do something to fix it, Like maybe
I need to call my therapist and I need to
tell her everything that's going on right right now, and
you need to tell me something that's gonna fix it
right now, make this go away, make it feel better.
And then I used to think like, Okay, well I
just can't think about it. I have things to do
and which I do, so I can never like just
wallow in how I feel.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
But that's how I used to feel.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Then I start learning like there's nothing anybody's gonna be
able to say to me that's gonna fix it in
ten minutes. So I've learned to just feel what I'm feeling.
If it's pain, if it's sadness, I.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Have to express it. I get under my bed to cry.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
I don't know what I have to feel it. I've
went through a lot of different emotions over the years,
and still even talking about being happy.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Sometimes make me emotional.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I must be going through all these things because I'm
supposed to be some kind of example of how to
be tough and how to be strong.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
So I never wanted to cry or like feel now
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I watch a lot of Michelle Obama's podcast, you know,
we talk about a lot here on the podcast The
Latest with Laurenn Rosa, And one of the things that
I've loved learning about Michelle Obama in these conversations that
she's having is just how much of a down to
earth it's like in this conversation, I felt the mother

(07:46):
of Michelle Obama guarding and like wrapping her arms around Megdacien.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
But I also felt like the.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Young Chicago girl who's just enthused and loves the world
and all the things that come with it. They were
having a conversation about reality TV and Love Island for
like ever, and I'm purposely putting that conversation here after
you hear them talking about having a bad day, feeling
their feels, being regular people, because sometimes it's just as

(08:14):
simple as laying in your bed and watching television and realizing.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
I'm alive. It's really not that bad because I'm still
here and I'm alive. Let's take a listen to them.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Poorsia Williams from Real Housewives e Atlanda got a shout
out in this in this part of it. I saw
her post it and like celebrating it. Let's take a listen,
seem Na.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, I think you know how to play it. I
think you know how to play it.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I feel like when you have a big personality, people
just automatically assume it's you. They just took Porsche out.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
A different show.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
All right, I'm gonna come from two perspectives. So number one,
the perspective of a daughter. I open this episode talking
to you guys about if you go back and listen
to the first three episodes and shoot, maybe in the
first four whatever, before you got to this one.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
You hear my exhaustion.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
There was one behind the scenes of the ground that
I did this week on the podcast where I literally
said to y'all, I barely even have a voice.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I am so tired right now. I cannot even think.
It was like midnight.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
I was just trying to get through and make sure
we had the episode while also preparing for my other jobs.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Right I think.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Hearing Megda Sallion's story of you know, just trying to
provide for her mom, trying to make a better life
for her family, people don't understand just the the trauma
that comes with being the person in your family that
is figuring out for everybody, like at all. And I
don't know, it's like people talk about it, but we
casually have that conversation, especially the oldest daughter in the

(09:45):
family and you the oldest a black family baby, Like
it's an amazing feeling to be able to do, but
there's a lot of trauma associated with always having to
be the one that figures it out or you know,
the you're like almost a caricature of the family a bit,
and how you have to present and you have to
I don't perform to a certain extent, And when I

(10:08):
was listening to Meg in that clip, and she says
she even cries sometimes when she talks about being happy.
I was like, man, I cry all the time talking
about being happy and the good things that have happened
in my life right now. And I used to think
that it was because I was like I felt guilty,
like I have to give up so much time, or
you know, I've like I'm only back on the East

(10:30):
Coast because my mom was fighting for her life.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
My grandmother was fighting for her life.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
And how am I now celebrating the fact that I
came back and I got a job, and I did
you know what I mean, Like I felt bad about
being in a good place after all of that, because
their lives have changed so much in ways that it
will never change back. My mom's suffering strokes and things
like that. She's good and God has blessed her. But
it's different. But I'm celebrating the fact that I was

(10:56):
able to get through it and I have a job
and I have a new look at least on career
in life.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's always been a tough struggle for me.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
But also too, I just think sometimes I think when
you're in these positions and you're put up in front
of the world and like even you know, even if
you're not you know, a person that works in entertainment
or whatever, but just being a person in your family
and your friend group or whatever, or a person of
stature of any sort. When you're popped up like that,
you don't even really get a chance to ever understand

(11:25):
the emotions as they're coming. And happiness can feel so
scary because it's finally that chance to sit down and
take that breath and be like wow, like, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
I'm so scared.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Every single day I'm gona wake up in this happiness.
It's just gonna like somebody's gonna pull a rug from
up under me. And it's like, and I ask people
who are really successful and have been for a while,
I ask them all the time, do you feel that?
Is that a normal thing? And so many people have
told me like, yes, I feel the anxiety. I understand it.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Hey that just what Hey, what you're doing recording the
podcast right? Okay? By Netflix.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
So many people have there's so many times and so
many people that like I've had these conversations with and
they're like yo, like yeah, that's a normal feeling.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's its anxiety, it's all the things.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
But you got to get out of that because at
some point you have to celebrate the fact that, like,
you fought through, you did it, and you're able to
like you're here now in regardless of all the bs
the drama that comes with it. And I feel like
with Magde Sallion, hers is like, oh my god, it's
like time's four hundred at this point. Because of how
her star and how big it is, they be dragging

(12:35):
the hell out of her everywhere, especially about that Tory
lanez case and people who are upset that Tory Lane
that Tory Lanes is behind bars.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
So I can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
But when I watched that clip, I'm like, oh, I
feel her, and she was headed into tears and then
they cut it and I was like, oh, they just
that's what I'm saying, the mother and the nurture of
Michelle Obama.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
They cut it.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
When they come back, you hear Michelle Obama explain, you know,
her her feeling of like I'm there too, and you
gotta be okay. It's a really great interview, guys, y'all
gotta check it out. Puts a lot into perspective as
Michelle Obama's conversations normally do, but definitely check this one out.

(13:18):
I think we still have not yet got fully into
Meg and all of the grief and all the things
that she is experiencing. But I think you know she
has new music coming out. At three, she said that
this is going to be a new era of Tina
snow Who. If you were rock on Meg the Salium
when she first begin you understand we.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Got some good things coming. I'm Laura the Rosa.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
This has been another episode of the Latest with Laurna Rosa,
your daily dig on all things pop culture and entertainment news.
I tell y'all every single episode, y'all could be with
anybody anywhere, but y'all choose to be with me, my Lowriders.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
I appreciate y'all, and I'll catch you on my next one.
