Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, guys, welcome back to the Network podcast WHOA. I
got a special guest coming in for you guys, Rockel.
She'll be here real soon. I r l about to
step in the goddamn building. Be on the lookout, man,
this is what.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Going on. You starve your son?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
This look at yellow chilling.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You have one she said, how you want it up?
Reading another?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
How just stay up the style.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's the only push the look.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
On because it's an every side Listen, y'all know I

(01:07):
always have fire ass interviews and fire ass guess that
come through right all the time. I always got fire
ass guess that come through. The next guest that coming
through is one out of four IRL members, my sister
roquev She just showed up too, and I want to,

(01:28):
you know, have her introduce herself, you know, to the
audience and let you guys know who she is. But Rock,
thank you for coming through. Can you introduce yourself to
the audience.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Let's go, Hi, guys. I am Senora Garcia, I am
a mother, I am a wife, and I'm an overall
show pretty girl.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I love that. Rock. Thank you for coming on the
podcast today. So I got a couple questions for you right.
So what is collaboration to you and how do you
use it in your network? Because I've been amazed of
you know, what you've been doing on a clubhouse and
how you've been building with your sisters. But what does
collaboration mean to you and how do you use it
either in friendship or motherhood?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Over to you, I think collaboration means it's an energy
exchange for me, so it's a give and take. And
when I collaborate with people, the energies have to feel
right and we have to have a goal that we're
working towards. When I met my sisters, which is probably
the best things that have ever happened in my life,

(02:32):
our energy is just felt right. I try to collaborate
with people, not who I always agree with, but that
can make me better or have something to teach me.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I love that. Thank you, Rock, And my next question
for you is, Rock, is what is something about motherhood
that made you grow? You know, especially you know you
being such an advocate for that motherhood, you know, being
a wife. What's something that made you grow in motherhood?
Let's talk about it.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I think when you have such innocent life looking up
at you and depending on you and they have no
one else you know, of course their fathers, but they
have they literally rely on you. That makes you grow
up in a way that is unfathomable. I always say

(03:25):
that my children pass through me and they're not me,
and made me realize that they had. You know that
made me grow up is that I My job is
to guide them into being the most productive human beings
on this earth. And in order for me to do that,
I have to become that.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
WHOA Come on, I told you I have Rock coming in. Listen.
That's a great, great answer, Rock. My next question going
in for you is what made you guys think about IRL?
Because a lot of people, you know, I know, they
be capping and I like the name because like in
real life, it's like real life ship. So what made
you guys come up with I R L? Because I

(04:04):
know it's you. You know, I know more you guys
are gonna be coming up to the show. It's one
out of four right now. But Raquel, tell me where
I RL came from? Where why do you think about this?
Talk about it?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
We came from a group called the Empathizers, and we
had a difference of opinion and we were tired of
the grandstanding of the podcast talking point, and actually Diego said, well,
we should have you know, we should have our own clubs.

(04:41):
And I said, okay, what should it be called. She's like, well,
I'm tired of these clubhouse conversations. Let's have a club
where we speak about in real life topics. So I
was like, okay, I RL wow.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
So it was over after that, Rock, it was over overs,
but over after that it was just I mean, Stack,
you're on clubhouse. It's the people who are just not
honest and they're just grand standing. And I just we
hated the tone policing of how women would tone police men. No,

(05:17):
in our space, there is no tone police. If you
condish it, then you better take it like it's an
equal opportunity platform.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Exactly. Rock. Come on, I told y'all Rock was coming
in a rock. I got another one for you, you know,
for the podcast. Now, do you think motherhood is glorified
or undervalued in society? Do you think motherhood is glorified
or undervalued in today's society? Over do you Rock?

Speaker 3 (05:45):
I think it's a bit of both. I think women
who have children want a biscuit for being a mother
when it was your choice to do outside of the
extreme circumstances. You opened your legs to have that child,
and you want a biskit for doing what you're supposed
to do. Never understood that, but it is unvalued in

(06:10):
a way where I think because there's a lack of
good human beings. I think it starts with women who
hold the culture. And if women had support or more support,
I think we can start cultivating children who turn out
to be a good human beings. So it's a little

(06:33):
bit of both. I know it's but it is a
little bit of both.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Rock. Rock is in the building. My next one for you, Rock,
because I know that you're someone that's a go getter
and you're out there doing your thing. But can can
can you be a great mother and still prioritize your
personal dreams? That's what you Rock, Let's talk about it.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I was able to do that when I when I
got back with my husband, when we were separated, I
was a horrible mother. I was a great business woman,
but a horrible mother. I was a great father, but
a horrible mother. When I reconciled my marriage, I was

(07:15):
able to do both because I have a really amazing
partner and a really great community.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Come on, come on, Rock. Yeah, that's that's perfect right there.
Now I'm getting into some more questions. I got one
fourth of the IRL up here, you know, diego Ambrancats coming,
but I got Rock right now. Now. My next question
for you, Rockquel, it's what's the silent struggle most moms
face but really really talk about on their journey of motherhood?

(07:45):
Over to you?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
A silent struggle? I think, well, there's several. There's a
lot a silent struggle that I say that we faces.
Are we doing enough? Are we doing a good job
without losing ourselves? I think a lot of women where

(08:10):
that mother that I'm a mom as a badge, and
we tend to lose ourselves outside of being a mother.
Who are you? Another struggle that we that I think
we go through is trying to make our children exactly
like who we are, and that's not how it should be.
I think mothers have a problem with accepting their children

(08:34):
for who they are. So I mean, those are a
couple of struggles that I think.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Roc, Yeah, that's what that's all I needed right there now, Rock,
What does emotional burnout look like as a mother? You
know a lot of people are you know, always there
for other people? But who was really there for you?
But what does emotional burnout look like for a mom?
Have you ever experienced that or seen any friends around?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah? You just have them breakdowns in the shower, pouring
the bathroom, start crying, glass of wine, just like, oh
my god. Yeah. No, I've definitely had burnouts where I
felt overwhelmed. Am I doing this to write? Your children

(09:19):
are just lashing out?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah? It gets deep? Rock. Okay, the next one, Rock,
do you feel pressure to be a super mom because
of social media? Let's talk about that.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I barely have social media.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Okay, I screw it, screw social media.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I think social media. I got out of that social
media ship when I got into my thirties. Social media
was just I don't need to be validated by anything.
Many people need to be validated by. Are my children
in their progress?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Facts? Rock? My next one for you, Rock, is our
moms judged too harshly for how they discipline their children.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Nowadays, I think they don't do a good job disciplining
their children. What a off fit like this? What is
it called the.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Soft It's the soft life, Rock, the soft life.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
They want the soft life, the easy disciplining the child
and softly talking to them. I think I think we're
raising our children to be wishes. If I'm going to
be honest with you, like sometimes stuck it up.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Exactly, Rock, Rock, let me let's get into another one.
What parenting patterns did you break from your own upbringing? Rock?
What parenting patterns did you break from your own upbringing?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Where children should be shouldn't be heard or seen, children
the freedom to express how they feel to me, and
I also apologize to my children. That's something I've never
gotten from my parents.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
I love that. Rock. Come on, I told you I
got some fire ask questions for Rock now, Rock. My
next one is do you think modern motherhood is harder
or easier than it was for you or your mom,
or for anyone that you know. Do you think modern
motherhood is harder or easy.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I definitely, I definitely have it more. I have it
more easier than my mother for sure, and her mother,
because there's resources at my fingertips. If I feel that
I'm doing something wrong, I can talk to chat GPT,
I can talk to a therapists. Those things are taboo
back in the day. So I give my my ancestral

(11:38):
maternal lineage a lot of grace because I couldn't. I
couldn't imagine doing what they did and going through what
they went through. And you know, it's much easier because
I could recognize the patterns, so I can break the
generation of purse.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Exactly. Rock. Come on, let's go now, Rock. Should women
wait until they're financially stable before coming before becoming moms?
Let's talk about that.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I thought they're already doing that. They're having kids in
their forties. No, seriously, the teenage pregnancy is down and
women are waiting more and they're forty to have kids.
That's what I read.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Damn all right, Rock, is single motherhood glorified or demonized?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Absolutely glorified. I can do that, so I I can
do it.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
It's demonized on a clubhouse, But if you take social
media as a whole, that's glorified either the baby, the
single baby, gender refials, the baby showers. I don't go
to single mother baby showers.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
That's just me.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I don't. Where's it at?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Facts?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
