0:59

many of us love coffee. Mm-hmm. I like

1:01

the living for it type of love. Some

1:04

like it hot, some like it iced with

1:07

a splash of creamer and some like it

1:09

with a cold foam topping. Many of us

1:11

stop into coffee shops on our way to

1:13

work more often than we'd like to admit.

1:16

Oh yes. But now thanks

1:18

to international delight cold foam creamer,

1:20

you can make cold foam coffee

1:23

at home. It's honestly game-changing. You

1:25

can just shake the canister and

1:28

spray it onto your coffee

1:30

and voila. You've got an

1:32

incredible cold foam coffee at

1:34

home. No frothing, fancy machines

1:36

or mess required. Ooh, an

1:38

international delight cold foam creamer

1:40

foams and creams your coffee

1:42

from top to bottom. And

1:44

the best part? Mm-hmm. It

1:46

works on both hot and

1:48

iced coffees. Oh my gosh.

1:50

I'm drooling. Okay, so it

1:52

comes in three foaming delicious

1:54

flavors. French vanilla, sweet

1:56

and creamy and caramel macchiatos.

1:59

So you can swoosh. Switch things up depending on

2:01

your mood. Look for your favorite flavor

2:03

next time you're at the grocery store and

2:06

be prepared to say goodbye to your

2:08

barista. Okay, barista, what reminds you of

2:10

college days? French vanilla. I mean, Brie

2:12

and I lived on International Delight French

2:15

vanilla. And you know what's the cutest

2:17

thing is every time our dad comes

2:19

to visit, he calls me because

2:21

I always be like, what do you want me to get

2:23

the grocery store? And he's like, oh, make sure to get,

2:26

it's always International Delight French vanilla creamer because I can't have

2:28

it without my coffee. So guess

2:30

what I'm getting my dad when

2:32

he comes to visit because I

2:34

know I'm gonna love it. International

2:36

Delight Cold Foam Creamer, French

2:39

vanilla, of course. You guys, this is a

2:41

game changer. Okay, how many of us spend too much

2:43

money at coffee shops? Me. Me.

2:46

Yes. And we deserve as

2:48

human beings to have that yummy

2:50

delicious coffee while we all go to the coffee

2:52

shops. And I'll be honest, I've kind of always wanted

2:54

to be a barista. And now

2:56

I can in my kitchen at

2:59

my home. I'm really excited to

3:01

have this. And I can't wait

3:03

to hear what that thing. International

3:05

Delight Cold Foam Creamer. It's foaming

3:07

delicious. And

3:09

Jael came out in this red dress and I was like,

3:11

I have to have it. I bought fabric. I was like,

3:13

can you make this for me? This is like how much

3:15

money I have. Oh, I remember. And I was

3:18

like, I don't think you should be allowed in the dance.

3:21

Almost didn't let me in. This is

3:23

the Nicki's Baby

3:25

Brio. All right,

3:27

happy Monday, everyone. Happy

3:30

Monday, Breezy. Thank you, happy Monday, Nicki.

3:32

Thank you. Uh-huh, welcome to

3:34

another episode of the Nicki and Bree

3:36

show. And this is gonna

3:38

be a special one today. They're all

3:40

special. They are. But this one's

3:43

gonna be extra special. For

3:45

the month. I mean, March

3:47

represents so many amazing things. Easter

3:50

for us and what that means.

3:52

Our brother's birthday. Our brother's birthday.

3:54

A couple cousins' birthday. That's right.

3:56

But something that's very

3:59

special about... this month is that it's

4:01

Women's History Month as well

4:04

as there's International Women's Day. Women's

4:08

History Month is very important, very, very

4:10

important. And you know, I was

4:12

doing some research and it's crazy because a lot

4:15

of people ask the question why? You

4:17

know, why is this whole month dedicated

4:19

to women? And so this

4:22

month, just to read what came off an article

4:24

that I was like, this is great. This

4:26

month reminds everyone of the achievements

4:29

of women throughout the years in

4:31

our culture and society and why

4:33

it's important is to

4:35

study them and their important moments

4:37

in history. So

4:39

very important month. Love that. Yeah.

4:42

You know, it's really interesting to me

4:44

because there's so many women you want

4:46

to recognize this month, right? Oh, yeah.

4:49

And I think, you know, every year

4:51

when this month comes up, I like

4:53

to, you know, in my own ways,

4:55

pay tribute to the women from

4:58

way in the past. But then there's so

5:00

many women present that are

5:02

even continuing these paths for women

5:04

and breaking barriers and doing incredible

5:07

things. So it's kind of cool. It

5:09

feels like it doesn't need to be a month long because

5:11

it's like you have a month long of people you want

5:13

to say, thank you. Thank you. Thank

5:15

you. Well, women have come such a long

5:17

way. When you look throughout history and the

5:20

things that we have fought for and where

5:22

we are now and where we're still going.

5:25

But, you know, I started to

5:27

think a lot about this. I woke up

5:29

at 2.20 a.m. Girl, we

5:32

got to get you. I need

5:34

to go to a sleep doctor. I'm going

5:36

to try a few different things. So this is day

5:38

five of waking up at 2.20 a.m. on the dot.

5:42

Literally today, when my eyes open, I go, if I look at

5:44

the clock, it's 2.20. I don't know

5:46

if this is a spiritual meeting or what's happening. I looked

5:48

in turn of 2.20 on the dot. All

5:51

I could think of is that my body

5:54

is asleep by 9.20 because usually I'm lights

5:56

out at And it

5:58

just needs that five hours and I'm awake. or

6:01

I don't know what's happening. So then does that mean you

6:03

feel like you need to go to bed later but you're

6:05

so tired you can't? No I know. So

6:08

I need to figure it out. But so when

6:10

I was awake and you know I've been trying

6:12

to like I'll lay in bed for a

6:14

while to see if I can go back to sleep and then

6:16

usually when it's around 4, 4, 30 I just get

6:19

out of bed and I've been journaling which has

6:21

you know helped a lot. But

6:23

I started to think like I used to

6:25

do so much when it came to this

6:27

month whether I went to events or on

6:29

my platforms I always honored people, friends,

6:32

people of the past, people

6:35

now of you know their great achievements and what

6:37

they're doing and I was just like started writing

6:39

and I'm like I want to do that again.

6:42

Start to really you know put women

6:45

over like I used to on my social platforms. What

6:47

I've realized is like I like when

6:50

they say you know your head space like right

6:52

now it's like full vacancy like there's

6:54

no rent left up there. So

6:56

dang girl you know from being the spot

6:58

up in that brain. Well you're part of

7:00

it. It's like what I've realized is I

7:02

have two babies. I'm probably paying big rent

7:04

up there. Yeah well I have two babies.

7:06

I have Mateo and when

7:08

you know being a present mom that's

7:11

a lot of the head space and

7:13

then our other baby Bonita Bonita which

7:15

especially the past year but I mean

7:17

that when you're growing an empire and

7:19

something that's yours, ours that

7:21

is like the other head space with a few

7:24

little things but there's nothing. Left that

7:26

can go in there right? But I was

7:28

like you know Brie and I we need to

7:30

dedicate an episode of the Nicki and Brie show

7:32

to Women's History Month and

7:34

take a time to honor women because that's

7:36

a big part of you know people ask

7:39

like well what can I do like how

7:41

can I be a part of this and

7:43

it's about whether you have platforms or just

7:45

in your Bible studies or your women's groups

7:48

to talk about women. Yeah

7:50

the past women of now, women's achievements

7:52

and not just in the entertainment

7:55

industry but in every industry

7:57

whether you know for Brie I'm

7:59

sure environment. mental, you

8:01

know, the scientists, teachers,

8:04

even different ones and politicians that have

8:07

fought hard for us, sports. I

8:09

mean the list goes on, right? And so

8:11

I was like, oh, I just want to

8:13

take the time to just, you know, have

8:15

that Kumbaya session and like just get super

8:17

emo for women and everything, you

8:19

know, they've done and the impact that maybe, you

8:22

know, some of the women have had on us

8:24

and what some women are doing now. What are

8:27

some women that stand out to you from

8:29

the past that you feel that

8:31

you would want like to think or

8:34

recognize or whatever they

8:36

did that helps you in today? Well,

8:39

I know I've spoken a little bit about it before,

8:41

but like two women that impacted me when I was

8:43

growing up. One was Mia

8:45

Hamm and I

8:47

was lucky to have some role model like

8:49

that. I was a soccer, we started soccer.

8:52

I started in fifth grade. You

8:54

joined sixth grade? You were a season after me?

8:56

No, you started fourth grade. I think I joined fifth grade.

8:58

Okay. Something like that and competitive

9:01

soccer, right? Right. But our

9:03

life, Brie and I eat Brie's soccer till

9:05

we left high school. And

9:07

so I was fortunate to have that World Cup

9:09

team at that time in the

9:12

late 90s, early 2000s and to have someone

9:14

like Mia Hamm who was so iconic at

9:16

that time for women. I

9:18

mean the fact that we still got an interviewer on this

9:20

show. Well, that's like been

9:22

the best. But

9:25

she impacted me so much. She

9:28

truly made me believe that

9:30

anything anyone else is

9:33

doing, I can do better. And especially with boys, right?

9:35

Oh, the boys are playing during recess. I want

9:37

to join. I remember going up all the time and

9:39

being like, well, I want to play, but you're

9:41

a girl. I don't care. Right. You

9:43

were like that. Yeah, remember I was like that. Arm

9:46

wrestling, everyone in sixth grade, they'd all line up. And by the

9:48

way, I beat everyone except for one guy, but he ended

9:50

up playing for the Cardinals. So

9:52

you know, that's Lyle said, I know

9:55

I've said that before. So she

9:57

impacted me in that way. She gave me a lot of

9:59

confidence. helped me believe

10:01

in myself. She made me a better athlete

10:04

and to listen to my coach and do

10:06

all the things like Texas

10:08

Pete is a sauce that allows

10:10

you to sauce like you mean

10:12

it. It's generosity in its simplest

10:14

form and it's a swagger people

10:16

have who know what's good. That's

10:19

right each Texas Pete sauce is

10:21

packed with bold balanced flavor. The

10:23

signature tanginess is what makes it

10:25

a legendary hot sauce that can

10:27

be used on just about anything.

10:29

It has been at the center

10:31

of dinner table since 1929 and

10:34

is still heating things up today. Oh

10:36

yeah and you know you're definitely going

10:38

to want to try every flavor. The

10:40

original hot sauce has a famous

10:42

secret blend of fermented peppers. The

10:45

hotter hot sauce is three

10:47

times hotter than the original and

10:49

not for the faint of heart.

10:51

Sabor by Texas Pete adds authentic

10:53

Mexican flavor. Yum and their dust

10:55

dry seasoning matches the flavor of

10:57

the original hot sauce in a

10:59

flavorful dry rub. It's just making

11:01

my mouth water stinking about it.

11:03

I mean I'm always reaching for

11:05

the Texas Pete. I think we

11:07

put it on our breakfast lunch

11:10

and dinner. We really do. We

11:12

actually even sneak hot sauce

11:14

in our purses so restaurants don't have

11:16

hot sauce. We put it on.

11:18

13:52

So me and him had that and

13:55

then JLo as you know. I will

13:57

shoot JLo. Jenny from the block. being

14:00

a Latina and it was

14:02

just so weird because I look back

14:04

in our day and our

14:06

community, like it was just

14:08

people made it as if it was so rare

14:11

being a Latina. Like well it's not

14:13

that it was rare it was just well

14:15

no but for those people because they weren't

14:17

raised I guess. Yeah a few that was

14:19

at school. Right and so I just remember

14:21

like the nicknames but the thing that like

14:23

JLo helped me out with like because that

14:25

was like middle school era when I really

14:27

became obsessed with her. It was

14:30

like first TLC and then it was

14:32

JLo but JLo being

14:34

like a Latin girl and like people being

14:36

like oh you have a mustache you have

14:38

a unibrow like look at all your dark

14:40

hair you have everywhere. I mean you remember that

14:43

but you never had a unibrow did you? Well

14:45

it wouldn't tell moms they're letting us get stuff

14:47

waxed. I mean first I went to bleach and

14:50

it was like black and white like

14:52

I could not believe she bleached our hair in our face.

14:55

No I can't either and I

14:57

just remember those times of like getting made

15:00

fun of in elementary school, middle school and

15:02

then when JLo came out and you know

15:04

she was like strong Latina and I just still remember

15:06

on the cover of the first ever

15:09

Latina magazine and everything she represented

15:12

with being a Latin woman it was

15:14

like hell yeah she gave me confidence

15:16

for being that and so.

15:19

Have you watched her new documentary and

15:21

movie out? I haven't. I need

15:23

to. So I just did. Loved

15:26

it. It was very interesting

15:29

and it was very eye-opening to me like I feel

15:31

like we all know JLo at

15:33

least you feel like you do. I feel like this

15:35

documentary even over the last one she did where she

15:37

was going into Super Bowl and that whole thing that

15:40

was on Netflix this one what I liked is

15:43

you see her her music

15:46

video movie idea is like funded

15:48

then they pull out because

15:50

they're like this stuff doesn't work but

15:53

she believes in it so much she puts in

15:55

her own money to make it 20 million dollars

15:57

by the way no 20 million of her

15:59

own. Own money. Own money. And

16:02

it's this story and it's kind of like coincides with

16:04

her album that came out in February. So

16:07

it's songs from that album all

16:09

about her love life

16:11

and like all the failed marriages

16:13

but really like everyone's perspective on

16:15

her like is she a

16:17

love addict? Like she always likes to get married.

16:20

Which. But she even talks about it and Ben

16:22

Affleck's in there. And she talks about how much

16:24

it bugged her that when everyone was kind of

16:26

talking crap like he looks so miserable. Look at

16:28

them at the I forget what award show it

16:30

was. But you remember like it looked like she

16:32

whispered something and he gave a face or whatever.

16:34

I mean she goes in a lot of detail.

16:37

But you know what I liked is. Well

16:39

I will say JLo does

16:42

like get a lot

16:44

of shit for like anything she does.

16:46

Like it reminds me a lot of

16:48

Taylor Swift. Like I feel like people

16:50

are always after her like with Ben

16:52

and like her relationships

16:54

and like just different

16:56

things. I do feel bad for her because

16:58

people judge her all the time. And if

17:01

she wasn't in the public eye no

17:03

one would battle laugh through her love life.

17:05

I feel like her past. Yeah but some

17:07

other people do and they're not as hard

17:09

on them as JLo. Right. But

17:11

what I liked is it dissected what went

17:14

wrong in these marriages and why these

17:16

things didn't work. I love this. I

17:18

mean I loved it. So I

17:20

watched a documentary first because I like want to

17:22

know the behind the scenes then I'll go watch the

17:24

movie. Both are prime video. Yeah.

17:27

And the documentary was completely fascinating and then went

17:29

through like Ben gifted her

17:31

all these he saved like all

17:33

the emails love letters all they had. So he gave

17:35

her this huge box like when they got married of

17:38

all of it. It's like really cute. So

17:40

she wrote her music and did everything based

17:42

off these two. What

17:45

I saw in this video that made me

17:47

feel bad and I'll go back you know

17:49

later to like people I feel influenced by

17:51

here in women's history month. But

17:53

I just you bring up JLo and this is just really been

17:55

sitting with me. But You

17:59

could tell what you. For his

18:01

acceptance and academy that she

18:03

is talented. Know. Really?

18:05

that's what I feel and like. It's.

18:07

Weird when you see J Lo and like she

18:09

had this one line in there that I'd like

18:11

to hit me when this girl is, like when

18:13

the backup. Dancers as talking to her. And

18:16

she's like I've just always pretended like.

18:19

To. Have. This. Isn't word

18:21

for word, but the just. Like to

18:23

have this confidence my whole crab and scared

18:25

and still at his height allow but the

18:28

way she gets nice yeah knows a thing

18:30

and hit me hard and me feel so

18:32

bad cause I ain't like she is so

18:34

talented. I do see she strives for that

18:37

acceptance from the academy season credit she's more

18:39

take talented or that I go watch her

18:41

movie music video movie. His.

18:44

Mind going to me. I mean I'm

18:46

like I'm very entertained by it's I

18:48

thought her acting was incredible. Sir.

18:50

Should be acting out scenes than start

18:52

to sing and dance race like a

18:54

musical so much in a broadway eleven

18:57

am but hurt dance seen her outfits

18:59

her as seen. Her. Singing i'm

19:01

Late She's stunning And link. Last.

19:03

Really has every box. I don't

19:06

know why she doesn't sell like

19:08

tic every every. League, I

19:10

don't know why she doesn't feel like she. Is.

19:12

An ex at are now accepted? Maybe she's I

19:14

know, but then I read a lot of the

19:17

big time articles. a variety. I

19:19

think it was like near but like a different ones and it

19:21

is crazy how like what they say and I'm like. I'd are

19:23

now you guys are. it's. Just. You

19:26

had before he watched you already had

19:28

a view. You. Already had an

19:30

opinion and it didn't let. It

19:33

sway. You any other way you

19:35

do. You think it's because g low

19:37

was I feel like. On. A

19:39

big platform. Sheila was i think one of

19:42

the first like women that senate did it

19:44

all. Again, you think

19:46

about it. In in she came up

19:48

season I mean seem really worked her

19:50

way up today in a fly girl

19:52

likes she just start in a girl

19:54

group or something like that and then

19:57

became big and she didn't come from

19:59

money so. When. I think is

20:01

when I look back at least some my time so

20:03

there could be people like the for her that I'm

20:05

not. You. Know knowing. Right now

20:07

we're remember he and but when

20:10

I think of J Lo like

20:12

she was to me that first

20:14

one that really had that like

20:16

massive album bunch of movies known

20:18

for her style model than also

20:21

like Spotlight on my You Are

20:23

Entrepreneur and the Relationship flicks when

20:25

other woman was known for all

20:27

that yet. And see

20:29

now women are doing it like in

20:31

which she does and they get You know

20:34

they're getting recognized but I feel like sometimes

20:36

in weekend and know this when you're

20:38

that birth to open the doors and to

20:40

do it it's it's kind of crazy think

20:43

all of this strive to like, appreciate as

20:45

like recognize what we've done and don't

20:47

get. I mean we've been recognized in jail

20:49

has been recognized in a lot of ways

20:51

that I'm totally I can't wait to watch

20:54

this because says yeah well you understand

20:56

that I want you to watch because I

20:58

think that's. What? I felt as like

21:00

you related something I related a Philip.

21:02

There's something she's not satisfied with that

21:05

she wants to be recognized either by

21:07

someone. That. She hasn't been and

21:09

that was. My thoughts: Academy. Because.

21:12

When you. Read all the fans stuff. a bunch

21:14

women are like I relate. To that people

21:16

have it and by the way who

21:18

ever is like the person who thinks they

21:21

can judge music and like though tell you

21:23

where album as get know as what

21:25

album people really how you get impacted by

21:27

the people that feel something from and

21:29

that get moved to base. She didn't sell

21:31

as many cds and now as strange as

21:34

much as she had with no one

21:36

filling anything I mean we all felt something

21:38

I'm sorry but any on the block

21:40

album we knew every song them either way

21:42

all have heard us that she had at

21:45

that time like. She would see wedding

21:47

with top man in she was the center of

21:49

it right to not a mean and she came

21:51

out with as bad as music videos. That's where

21:53

I was like. In. His

21:55

corner month or call me jailers like that

21:57

strain and was I getting their as I

21:59

mean you. The literally was at my

22:01

junior prom junior prom and no one

22:03

was doing this at our time. This

22:05

is a two thousand and one and

22:07

jail came out misread dress as like

22:09

I have to have it I bought

22:11

fabric. And fabric store and I went to

22:13

Just detailing on. Once you like that to be touched

22:15

the dry cleaners as a can you make this for

22:17

me. This is like how much money a whole I

22:20

remember and. As I

22:22

don't think my pillow the day I

22:24

almost didn't let me and but hey

22:26

of because then my best friend the

22:28

time arts her for saw to dress

22:30

and you think when you go to

22:32

tailor dry cleaner we price spent maybe

22:35

two hundred dollars Lake you know we're

22:37

I'd bet Lake Spit I just remember

22:39

and I pay like the blonde dye

22:41

my hair conceal. Had it in. I just

22:43

remember going to junior prom like. I.

22:46

Am jail remember how of the food is on the

22:48

when I just felt like I was her I was

22:50

like a raise it be. I would like to

22:52

know people his thoughts on this. Because you

22:54

know I did like a deep dive research

22:56

has one. I was like i hope girl

22:59

got our money back. I was like this

23:01

is good and I made me feel bad

23:03

like. See. In this is

23:05

why I think as we're talking about Women's History

23:07

Month, she believed in herself that this needed to

23:10

be seen. So. She put up for our

23:12

money not when I it's size. you put up twenty

23:14

million and like saying you that that. This, and.

23:16

The bank account silliness like to deal

23:18

a wow see sandwich shop as a

23:21

young for visit them such. A big

23:23

price tag so I like was like whoa. You

23:25

know and I'll I relate to that part because

23:27

I have so many ideas in my hand and

23:29

I will you know, pitch them out or talk

23:32

to people about it. You feel the same way

23:34

and you know I'm always. We have not seen

23:36

it, There's they're not seen what we see and

23:38

I like at times I want to put my

23:41

own money and to show this is what I'm.

23:43

Talking about much the documentary tissues

23:45

actually. The cameras on or were you see? It. When.

23:48

Were seized lake where you can tell be

23:50

working like and even talk about some celebrities

23:52

in there that wouldn't do it but like.

23:55

She's very. Boynton. honest

23:57

and there but like you see like know like

23:59

and her vision and then you see her vision

24:01

come to life but yeah, she was like

24:03

I don't care if I'm paying for it because I

24:05

believe in this and that's all you

24:07

can do is believe in yourself. That

24:09

is the bottom line period and

24:12

I think for me

24:14

like watching it, I was

24:16

inspired and obviously not inspired to go do

24:19

what she did. I was inspired to just be

24:21

like you know what? If

24:24

people don't start believing in me, I believe in me

24:26

and if I got to start, well, we

24:28

fund Bonita, Bonita for example. We believe in

24:30

so much, we use our money to do it. So

24:33

you know, you feel that but it's like you

24:35

know, I'm like as long as I believe in

24:37

me, it's going to happen. It will

24:39

and so here's a good example of

24:43

how can I be a part

24:45

of Women's History Month? J.Lo did

24:47

this movie on her own because something she

24:50

believed in as a woman. Go

24:52

support that. Go watch it on Prime. Get

24:54

her the views. I'm going to make sure

24:56

I do that within this month and help

24:58

her out. And I hope she

25:00

doesn't let some writer who wrote

25:03

the article for Variety and like the

25:05

different writers who write. That's

25:07

one person's opinion. I

25:10

hope it doesn't keep her up at night because

25:12

I read a lot of On

25:14

the Rotten Tomatoes when you see the fan stuff and like

25:16

other things, people who loved

25:18

it and I think sometimes the

25:21

harsh words that take

25:23

us down are louder than all

25:25

like the really sweet stuff. So

25:28

but I thought to myself too, I was

25:30

like dang, you can be this one writer

25:32

for this big magazine and it can make

25:34

you feel like you failed. And

25:37

you know what I mean? I'm like I

25:39

know and I'm like wow, like that's crazy.

25:42

But anyway, so congratulations J.Lo. Especially because

25:45

they can't do what you do. Right.

25:48

I'm just like when I was down watching,

25:50

I was like how she dresses, how

25:52

she looks, how she acts, how she

25:54

dances and she can sing and she

25:56

has a cool like and she

25:59

got a real booty. Oh and she

26:01

makes this cute comment in there about her booty like

26:03

she says something to Ben and I was like

26:05

you get to see them kind of interact like

26:08

no makeup in her sweats and that's how he

26:10

likes her. Oh my gosh look

26:12

I got chills. The documentary

26:14

trended I think it's still

26:16

trending on Prime Video. You see like

26:19

it's really you'll love it. Okay I can't wait.

26:21

I love her attitude in there like with certain

26:23

things like business wise but then like you see

26:25

them and it's really cute to see her and

26:27

Ben. But to

26:29

go back to other influential women and

26:31

women who have impacted me and I'm

26:34

going to start with one and I think it's because

26:36

this is a big voting year and

26:39

obviously I can't

26:41

believe it's already been four years like almost four

26:43

years right. We're like now on this but Susan

26:46

B. Anthony and I know

26:49

there was other women who stood with

26:51

her and were part of the fight

26:53

to get women to vote but this

26:55

year like Susan B. Anthony is really going to stand

26:57

out in my head because she

27:00

fought hard and it was at

27:02

a time when women had no

27:04

voice and when you fought for

27:07

women's rights you were very unladylike

27:09

and that got you put out

27:11

of society like that tarnished

27:14

who you were. And

27:16

so the one thing I really love when you

27:18

read about Susan B. Anthony is and we

27:21

should remember this as we're going into the

27:23

voting year is that as a

27:25

woman we get our own opinions, we

27:28

make our own decisions, research,

27:31

really see who you would like to vote

27:33

for. Don't be influenced and I'm not meaning

27:36

this in a mean way but don't be

27:38

influenced by your husband, by family members, by

27:41

celebrities on Instagram or

27:44

other politicians. This

27:46

is actually a really cool thing where you

27:48

can get into your own mind, make your

27:50

own opinions, do your own research and vote

27:52

for who you want. I

27:54

do my research, I'm very open minded, let's do our

27:57

research, what do I care most about and I

27:59

do it. Brian knows he can't

28:01

influence my vote. He can't influence me.

28:04

My family members, no one can. And

28:06

I don't care who you vote for. I don't care who

28:08

you, that's on you. And like how lucky

28:11

are we to have that freedom? So this

28:13

is a year where I thank Susan B. Anthony

28:15

for opening that door for us as women and

28:17

that you get to do it. Don't ask

28:19

your spouse or your partner or

28:22

whoever who they are, do it on

28:24

your own. Make your own decision.

28:26

So I love that. Right? And

28:29

I just think like for me,

28:31

it's like I watch so many

28:33

old-fashioned shows. I don't.

28:35

I love them. I don't know why but

28:37

if you watch all of them, women like

28:39

constantly in those shows like they can't really

28:41

live. And I'm like why

28:43

do I like all these shows? But I

28:46

think I just like old-fashioned things. I mean

28:48

they fight to be educated. I mean like

28:50

and think of how like we take advantage

28:52

of just being able to buy and read

28:54

books. Like you know what I mean? And

28:57

getting to go to schools

28:59

that are free and different things like that.

29:01

Well and also in all these shows I

29:04

watch, they can't even walk alone because they

29:06

flutter their eyes at a man and all

29:08

of a sudden they're kicked out of like

29:10

society. Like they always had someone with them

29:12

to monitor their conversations, to

29:14

make sure. You know what I mean? It was

29:17

like and I love watching those

29:19

shows but when I really dissect them, I'm like

29:21

wait why do I really like to watch these

29:23

shows? But it's interesting to me and maybe I

29:25

watch it because I don't know

29:27

what that life is like and I watch it almost

29:30

like whoa like wow. We've

29:33

come so far. Someone

29:36

else I would love to just

29:38

put a little light on is Rachel

29:40

Carson. So huge

29:42

environmentalist but someone who really fought

29:45

so that pesticides were recognized as

29:47

hurting not only humankind but the

29:49

environment as well. And

29:52

I think when you have people who are

29:54

fighting for the good of humanity,

29:56

the good for the environment, Of

29:59

just. The actual health and welfare.

30:02

Like. To me, it's like your heart is

30:04

so vague. Yeah, and you have so much

30:06

empathy. That. You're just.

30:09

How. Assigning Star And yeah, And

30:11

so when you're. Spending. All

30:13

your time to help. You know,

30:15

like Mother Teresa? I mean, I'm

30:18

officially you know, Mother Teresa. Actually,

30:20

it's funny, like. Someone.

30:22

I think I was always influenced by oh we may

30:24

when people would ask for you know a raised hardcore

30:26

Catholic league roy know yeah and now I'm spiritual But

30:29

I will say like the one thing I always thought

30:31

is that. Mother. Teresa literally lived a

30:33

life to help people. It's. A Green

30:35

You think about it in that credible that's all

30:37

inspiring to make. As let's be honest, lakes as

30:39

someone was like a Bree would you. Like

30:42

a nice little spa day or the let's

30:44

go work hard and do these things. Oh

30:47

man be a little towards that like okay

30:49

let's go You know who says he all

30:51

these things tomorrow? The spot the this woman

30:53

gave know every single twenty four seven selfless

30:56

sell for less people now plus and and

30:58

or off off the so it it had

31:00

nothing beautiful. I mean they would say like

31:02

when she'd walk down the streets people with

31:04

stuff money oh really how heavy and then

31:07

should we go straight to the church or

31:09

other places give it all way. Oh yeah

31:11

she had literally nothing. She'll nothing. I.

31:14

Mean Incredible. One. Other

31:16

person and like is Marina Silva. She's

31:18

like the number one woman who defends

31:20

the rain forest. There's several you shine

31:22

lion and the damage and. Everything going

31:24

on with the rain forests but soon actually

31:26

Hard for the rain forests. And as actually

31:31

I was impacted by. The.

31:58

You are you. I.

32:00

Know I mean of the be i am I getting out

32:11

but I have singer so he does. He

33:46

ran when frenemy and he kept looking back

33:48

and then he'd pretend like he was in

33:50

a dirty streets. And to or

33:52

school drop off is so I sprint and and

33:55

for every once and like kind of god and

33:57

and one of the moms was like laughing my

33:59

go buddy. and I'm thinking, oh

34:01

yeah. And

34:03

then he wouldn't go into class. He wanted to

34:05

go around and read all the tree labels and

34:08

then he like starts walking really fast and he goes, I

34:10

don't like you mama. I don't like you

34:12

and I, in front of everyone and I'm like, two minutes

34:16

he better be in there and

34:19

then freedom. So

34:21

I finally got him in. The teacher was like,

34:23

do you want to take care of the rabbits?

34:25

Yeah. So that was my morning. I

34:28

love it. Well, you know, it's

34:30

funny because Mateo, he's still when I

34:32

walk him to class, majority

34:34

of the time he wants me to carry him. I'm

34:37

like, you've been doing so while walking on your own and

34:39

he's my qualibre and I do it and I know they

34:41

encourage like, you know, they need

34:43

to walk to class with their backpack on but if

34:45

he wants to, you know, to be fully wrapped around

34:47

me, sure. That was yesterday. Oh really? You didn't want

34:49

to leave my arms. And then today

34:51

he like didn't even want me

34:54

arms length. I love it. I

34:56

guess. Well shout out to our

34:58

mamas this month because honestly, goodness,

35:00

you make the world go round.

Well, Bree

39:19

I say we leave our

39:22

listeners with a little bit of inspiration affirmation.

39:24

I agree. Okay. Well, I have one so

39:27

since you know, we talked a little bit

39:29

about women's history month and incredible

39:32

women and Just always

39:34

knowing that all these women

39:37

and us we were all little girls one day

39:39

and there's little girls that look up to us

39:41

And as little girls we looked up to other

39:43

women. That's right. I love this quote The

39:45

strongest actions for a woman is to

39:48

love herself be herself and

39:50

shine amongst those who never believed she

39:52

could I

39:54

love it. Right? I mean I

39:56

will say this You

39:59

definitely have to believe in yourself first

40:02

until you expect other people to believe in

40:04

you and that is probably one of the

40:06

hardest things to do because I feel like

40:08

it's human nature for us to

40:10

pick ourselves apart, to look at our flaws first,

40:12

to think of all the things we are not

40:15

capable of doing but it's interesting

40:17

because when I actually look at myself as

40:19

a little girl and probably thought the things

40:21

that were weird about me or were weaknesses

40:23

were actually my

40:25

strengths in my career and like who I am

40:27

today. Well and to add on to that, it's

40:30

so important to love yourself.

40:33

I feel like loving you

40:35

is the true foundation and

40:37

that brings on the shine,

40:39

the belief and everything else

40:41

that goes. The confidence, the

40:43

bravery, the courage, everything.

40:46

Love yourself is the foundation

40:48

and especially for the moms with

40:50

little girls that are listening or people who

40:52

know that little girls look up to them

40:54

whether you're a teacher, a coach, whatever

40:57

it may be to instill that

40:59

into those girls at a

41:01

young age of loving you

41:04

and exactly who God made

41:06

you. Right. I mean

41:08

I had to tell Birdie the other day she was offended because

41:10

she always asked this one girl in art class, do

41:12

you like my picture and she always says kinda. She

41:15

goes kinda but that's fine, that's what

41:18

little kids and it bothers Birdie that she never

41:20

says good, like it's good. And

41:22

I go Bird, do you think people told Picasso, I

41:24

guarantee you in the beginning they said I know they

41:27

did, I watched the series on it. Yeah and I

41:29

brought up other big artists, I go

41:31

but he believed in his work, he loved it

41:33

and now he's one of the most famous

41:36

artists ever to have lived. And

41:38

usually the kinda is I wish I could

41:41

draw like her. Just

41:44

send her to Dodo. Oh gosh I will. I'll

41:46

build her up real well. Yeah but I'll tell

41:48

you this other quote. So just off what you

41:50

said because I'm like oh this actually is

41:52

kinda the same and I like it. And

41:54

Blakely said this. That

42:00

can be your greatest strength and ensure that

42:02

you do things differently from everyone else. And

42:05

it's like what you said. That's how your light,

42:07

I feel like shines and it's believing in yourself

42:10

and don't let other people think that you

42:12

have to be like them. Like

42:14

no, no, no. You

42:17

know at a very young age I realized I wasn't going to

42:19

be a rocket scientist so go kill it on the soccer field

42:21

and that's what I did. I

42:24

was built to be an athlete and

42:26

I embraced that and look where it

42:28

got me and some people are so

42:30

lucky to be born with an incredible

42:32

brain and they are doing incredible things

42:34

and so I don't know what

42:36

they do. They probably don't understand what I do

42:39

and that's what's the beauty in it. It's not

42:41

what you don't do, it's what you do do.

42:43

We like that doo doo. Alright

42:45

everyone, well go do something for

42:47

42:50
