What is up everyone? I'm your host Alanized and this is Noche de Pende, your favorite podcast turn talk show. And on the Yotrago atus influencers. Not too long ago, back in like January or February or even March, you know my cactament Amigas. But back when I went to New York, I decided to grow out my facial hair. I started falling in love with my facial hair and it would hurt me so much whenever I would film Noche de Pendejadas because I would have to shave it off a full glam of makeup. So that's why I would always shave it. And every single time I would Amigas because I was like, oh my God to try this out and I honestly don't know how I feel about it. Let me know in the comments down below if you guys are living for Don Jose or if you guys want me to go back to Alanized in the next episode. Amigas. So let me know down in the comments down below if you guys want me to keep the facial hair and maybe do like a soft glam like I have on today or if you guys want me to shave it off and go back to the full glam who you guys would like to see on the podcast. But yeah, you guys. With that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed today's episode. So without any further ado, please help me welcome my guest tonight. Valeria.

A
Not an everyday thing, but me, George, try to wake up early every day.
B
That is, we try to be productive because. Okay, so usually we used to film the last couple episodes, you guys, we took a shot or two, so.
A
What?
B
But I did wake up late and su me, I'm like, you woke up.
A
Early in Newport, so It's like a 25 minute drive or their own boss. Okay, I get my day started. I'm like, like, you know what though?
B
I, I will have to say it does feel like I got the best out of my. I feel like if you guys don't wake up early, amigas, this is your sign to get up early. But anyways, enough of that. Wait, wait, wait. Before we get into the cheeseme for anyone at home watching.
A
Okay, so. Hi. So Valeria, I'm a full time content creator but I'm also a full time student. I'm going to school to get my degree. I do a lot of like lifestyle content, a lot of couple content content. Just what I do in my life. I like to like motivate girls to like go to the gym, be successful, like be their own person, like be like, I don't know, motivated to be someone. So I do a lot of that and I show a lot of my relationship and like I'll do a lot of vlogs, going to school, going to pilates and like just my day to day, I'm very real. Like I don't really like people will be like some girl texted me the other day, I'm like, girl, I don't know, it's a compliment. I knew that because I don't care enough to do my hair sometimes she's like, oh, you make me feel better because I always have like really puffy hair. And you. So do you. And you post it to like a lot of followers. Like you feel good in it. So do I.
B
And I'm going to start with the question.
A
I grew up very privileged, very sheltered, but very insecure. I mean he worked his ass off to give us what he never had. So we grew up in and out of the country doing business. So I can't blame her because I'm the same with my man, but super, super helicopter parent. Like, your hair, your eyebrows, overprotective. So she would take care of us ladylike. So we were very sheltered in that sense. Blonde hair. And then they would turn to me like, like. And I was like, I knew this is a very young. They were just saying it kind of like, oh, like, you know, So I grew up with a lot. A lot of insecurities, and I feel like that's why my personality is so, like, kind of big, because I'm like, okay, I want to stand out somehow. Like, if it's not my looks, like, let me stand up with my personality. So I'm very bubbly. I feel like I'm very, like, loud.
B
Yeah.
A
And I feel like that kind of made up for, like, okay, people will notice me. Maybe not for my looks. And now that I'm grown, like, I do, like, realize I'm beautiful. And everyone's beautiful in their own way, shape, or form. But as you', young, you're growing, your. Your brain is developing. Maybe you don't see that, but trust me, you have your own thing. I don't get noticed as much because you have your own value. And, like, now that I'm, like, grown, I see that. But before girl, I was struggle.
B
You were raised in Modesto, right?
A
Yeah, well, in the Central Valley. I'm from a really small town called Livingston, but I would say Modesto because people, like, know where that's at. It's, like, 30 minutes away from Livingston.
B
What was it like growing up with your grandma?
A
She's my everything. I don't know what I would do without her. The ugly dunk thing. You're going to be president, okay. You put your mind to. You're going to do it. She had to work her ass off. Like, she would make cakes, she would clean. She would do whatever to, like, when she came with us, like, obviously, while my parents took care of her. But pancakes. I had my own room. Like, we all had our own rooms. You're so, like, feminine.
B
Taught you a lot.
A
Yes.
B
How would you describe your relationship with your parents growing up? Were you more of a daddy's girl, Mommy's girl?
A
So to preface my parents, Los amo conto misera. They're great. Like, I don't want to, like, paint them as a bad people because they gave me everything I have. And they're very loving. I do. They are mucho da braso de veso de sos, pero. I did have a very rocky relationship with My parents. So like I moved out. I was always very like, kind of like the black sheep. Me and my brother, we were like, they were always preferring my sister in a lot of ways. And I'll maybe get into that later. But I knew they loved me, but it was always like I was never seen by them. I was never like for. To answer your question, I was a grandma's girl. I was not neither mom nor dad. Like I have a relationship with both of them. Meta is very machista and I'm very. No, I'm very like, maybe as a feminist. I'm very like, no, like you could do it. Like I could do it. You could do like girls could do anything they set their mind to. And my dad, not that he didn't believe that, but he's just very much. He's done the way they get. You're a girl, like, don't wear crop tops. Don't, like, I don't know, like do certain things. But now I understand. It's her first time living. My mom, like, I love my mom, but she was also just, always just behind my dad. Dad. Like she was more of a. A wife than a mom, which I understand. Like, I see where she's coming from. Like now that I have a husband, like, I do. Like I'm behind him all the time. And I do think that to have a good family, like, I don't know, you have to have a good relationship with your husband. But so they were always just traveling and like it stuck a lot with me. That was when we went to sixth grade camp. I don't know if you know what six year campus, but you go away for a week and the night before we have to do a family dinner. And I was. He had to go do like a meeting or something. And like I really wanted to, like, I think we're gonna movie or something with like my mom, my dad, my grandma, like all my, like my brothers. And they were like, no, well, like, I'm like, mom, like, invest. Like, you can't. Why can't you be with me? Like, why do you have to go chase after my dad? Like, why do you have to go be with them? And okay, I'm not, not. I'm not the priority cuz I always. But it was always like, I was like never, I don't know, seen you could stay with us. Like, you know, because like, like my dad was working, but she was just behind my dad, which I understand. But with my dad, we had a rocky relationship. They're both great parents. It's their first time living like now I don't hold grudges. When I was like growing up, I feel like I held like a lot of like with them because I be like, why? Why? With me, there was a lot of things that they would do that be like or they wouldn't recognize. Like y said when I was like a second grader, I got one B in my little transcript. I didn't get no Christmas gift. Like my, my sister and my brother, they got like iPads and stuff. But they were always really hard on me. Extreme grateful for now. Cuz like now I am the woman I am because of like them. But in as a little 10, 10 year old, I was like, but why? Like, it's just one B. And my dad would call me Mrs. B. And like that would hit my ego so hard. I was like, like I'm a dumbass. Like I got to be in my like, you know, they're great, they're just. We had a very rocky relationship. Like there was a lot of machismo and I don't stand with that at all. So we like bumped heads a lot.
B
Commentas that you grew up in a machista household. So, you know, when did you realize like, oh, my dad's mindset is very much of a MA Growing up, I.
A
Think it took me a lot to realize that like, like we could, we're, we could do whatever we set our minds to. But growing up, it was very much like, okay, like my brother for example, he's a year younger than me and like he could get away with doing whatever he wanted. He practically had no rules. And I feel like maybe that's why he like gone to some bad steps later in life. But for like me and my sister, my dad is like a tango memor. I was like, you guys could only have three boyfriends. Like after the third boyfriend that I don't want to meet him. Like, you can't even go out like a lockdown. Like you're practically married. Like, he's very like. And the way that gender roles, like he wasn't very much like, no, like my dad was never, never like that. He was more like we couldn't wear crop tops. We couldn't wear like booty shorts. Like he, we didn't have permiso. Like, I remember all my friends would go to like high school parties. He's like, no, no. Like, and if we were to go out, we'd have to be home at 10 drug test. Like we'd have to pee in a cup to make sure we didn't drink to make sure we didn't smoke weed to make sure we didn't do do anything. Like, my brother never nothing like he was could stay out to helle. Could have any girlfriends. I think one of the times that I mostly realized it is I was a year older than him and I had like this kind of boy I was talking to and like, he came over and my dad was like, very, like, no, no, no.

My brother was a year younger than me, and he had a girl over for three days. They would shower together and, like, I could even say, like, oh, God, Dad. Like, like, this is a guy. Like, I kind of like him. Like, I'm just gonna bring him around the house. Like, no, it was never. Like, my dad was super, like. And I guess I kind of respect it now because, like, now I feel like nobody can extreme my dad. Every time he would get drunk, he'd be like, like, oh, like, you don't know how much I wish you were a guy. Like, I could tell he was proud of me. Oh, I'm proud of you. For my parents, like, did that make you feel bad?
B
You know, how would that make you feel growing up?
A
It make me feel so bad. I feel like, well, why am I not enough? Like, if you're telling me you wish I was a guy, like, why am I not enough as a girl? Like, I would always tell him, like, but he was very. Like, my dad thinks. Think he's machista, but he's also like, very mindset and, like, grocery stores and stuff like that. Like, growing up. But as I was a girl, he Was very much like, no, you stay to the side. Like, so I think I kind of felt like, damn. Like, I'm not enough.
B
Like, what the can I do?
A
Yeah, what can I do? Like, just sit pretty and, like, I don't know, get my nails done. Like, you know, did you ever rebel.
B
Or push back, you know, from their mindset? If so, cuenta. No sun aves.
A
Not really. I feel like, yo simpre. I was always. I wanted. I always wanted my dad's and my mom's approval. I always wanted to look for them, to look at me and be like, damn, mija. Like, you're doing good. Like, I'm proud of you. Like, you know, but so I was so scared of the. Oh. Like, I don't want to disappoint them, so I'm not gonna do nothing bad. The only thing that I kind of won with my dad was, like, wearing crop tops because it got to a point where he would just, like, look at me and be like. Like, not even tell me nothing. But before, like, he would make us go back and, like, change. But it got to a point that would be like, that will, like, you know, we're not in Mexico. Like, we're not. Like, it's not like, back then, like, normal crop tops, like, wasn't short every day, but my dad, his way or the highway.
B
But growing up like that, that a lot of people accept those ways and kind of just continue the cycle, you know? You know, knowing that that's not the life you want to live for yourself, was there a moment? Moment where you realize that you're like, you know what?
A
Yes, a thousand percent. I feel like I was in a toxic relationship before we broke up. He cheated. And when I told my dad, he was kind of like, oh, like, it's normal. Like, he's a guy. And, like, to me, I remember I cried for, like, two weeks. I was like, I would always be like, I'm your little girl. Like, I'm your little girl. Like, how are you not mad? Exactly. How are you not mad? How are you not protecting me? How are you telling me, oh, it's okay if you get cheated on? Like, he's just, like, it's just a guy. But then I realized, like, my dad's older, too. My dad's 64, so I'm like, I'm not going to change his ways of thinking. But he. I love him, and I know he loves me, and he's done everything in his power to see me happy in the way that he knows, like, and what he thinks is correct. Like, even though I don't agree with him. And my dad also has a lot of health issues. Like, he has diabetes, like, cholesterol, like, a lot of stuff. So I'm always like, I need to learn to accept him for who he is. I know that, that I'm still his little girl. Just his mind is set up different than mine. He grew up way different. Like, so I can't hold that against him. But I also know I don't want that for my future. And if you're in a household where you have, like, maista parents, that they don't let you do nothing, I'm not telling you, like, hold it against them. Don't like that. Understand that that's the way they grew up. But also know that and that's not what you're going to accept in your future. That's not what you want. That's not what you're okay with. Like, you grew up differently and, like, you and your parents have different mindsets, and that's totally ok. But you also have to know that when you get out of the house, whenever, I don't know, if you go to college or whenever, independas, to know that you yourself could, like, have a totally different life. Like, that doesn't have to be your life just because you grew up in it. But, I mean, it's. It's sad that it's still a thing, but it's also like, was like, I feel like machismo is not as obvious as it used to be. Like, before, girls couldn't even vote. Girls couldn't even do nothing. Like, now we have a lot more freedom. Like, now I feel like it's mass closeted, like, in your house, like, what your dad says, what your theo says. So it's not as, like, loud as it was. It's sad that. That being in 2025, sometimes guys don't realize that girls could do the exact same. I just hope that people start realizing that. I really hope one day it keeps on diluting itself. I feel like, you know.
B
Were you the middle child, the oldest, the youngest. All of that.
A
Thanksgiving, Christmases, birthdays, they could even be in the same room. I was always, like, they would always come to me. See, Exactly. I was always like, I knew when you were up. And I'm going to tell you, like, honestly, Mariana, you're up. Honestly, Rafa, you're up. So I was always like, the one in the middle. Like, hey, like, don't fight. Like, don't fight, Chong. Like, they're Always, always their go to. Because I feel like I'm closer to like, both of them, but I love them to death. I don't know what I would do without them. My brother, my sister are my everything. My everything. I would always look out for my sister, and I would always look up for my brother. Like, I was always, like. I remember one time, bro, like, I was like 10, and we were in the car and my mom was talking to one of my dad's workers in the front, and they were talking, like, about some cheeseman. And like, we had our little headphones watching tv. And like, I sat in the middle, cuz, like, in the middle because I wanted to hear the cheese. Like, I didn't want to watch the Barbie movie, no. So I was always like, very, like, savia everything that was going around. So with them too, I was always be like, hey, guys, like, look, this was actually going on. Like, don't fight. Like my parents are listening. Or like, don't buy. I heard my parents saying this and that. So like, I don't know. But I would die for them, you.
B
Know, Growing up, you were almost, you know, invisible, you know, poquito mas at. Oh, I might not be the favorite child. Would your parents, you know, favor your other siblings over you?
A
I feel like I've always known, like.
B
Since.
A
I wasn't the favorite, I was always like, overlooked. Maybe it's like a middle child syndrome. But I was never the favorite. And not even just like with my parents, but like, be like, hi, get a mosos. And then they look at me and be like.
B
It. I got a compliment, I guess. Yeah.
A
But with my parents, it was always very, very, very obvious. Like, my brother kind of got the shin of the stick. Like he earned it. Like he was a problem child. I feel like I was always very, like, with good with school. Like, but my sister was always. I don't know why they favoritized her, but I guess because she would never do nothing wrong. She was always like. For example, like, my dad would get us in trouble. My mom, like, we'd been in the kitchen or in the office, he'd call us, and my sister will be like, sorry, sorry, sorry. And I'd be like, I'm good. Like, I don't need anything, I'm fine. Like, I don't need you to like, like me. I don't need you to like me. Like Joe. Like, so I was always very strong. Pero mentally, like, I wasn't like, mentally I was like, why? Like, why? What am I missing? Because, like, I Also had good grades. Like, I also Asia Castle. Like, so what was wr with me? Like, on the day of my high school graduation, we all got ready, obviously, my sister, Tambien, but I got ready. It was my graduation. So, like, my sister helped me do my makeup. Like, some friends helped me do my hair. And I came out to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, and my, like, just looked at me like, he didn't really, like. And then my sister walked, like, walked out. He was like. And I remember I just, like, ran to my room and I closed my door and I started just, like, bawling. I was like, why? Like, do I not look good enough? Like, am I not pretty?
B
Like, my graduation?
A
And like, also in high school, like, we. Me and my sister both ran for, like, homecoming. She. I ran before her. And for my homecoming lad, I was like, hey, I'm still gonna run. Like, we're not gonna help you. That was a hard day after school to do posters. Nothing. Like, my two friends, Melissa and Liz, they went to the R that was like, a block away from school. Like, they spent, like, $25 to, like, make two posters and get one bag of candy. And, like, they're like, vote for Valeria. I still won. And a year later, my sister and, like, she had also done something. I don't remember what it was, but it wasn't like, as, I guess as bad as mine. And my parents like, posters. Big difference. And I was like, like, you can't. You can't make it more obvious. And like, things like that. Like, my whole life growing up, like, it was always like, Mariana, like, oh, another example, when I came back from Mexico, I'll get back into it later. But I started working, and I would work at 4 in the morning at Target because it was like the seasonal one. And I remember one day my dad. My dad would take me to work. So back then, he hadn't bought me my car yet. And it was 4 in the morning, and I was in the. In the truck, and I was like, I'm, like, tired. He's like, tired of what? Like, because we live in front of some fields. He's like, you're going to, like, be in the ac, like, with light. Like, that's not hard work. And like, my sister was working, like, with kids, and she would work from, like, 11 to 3, and she would come home from work and, like, they would rub her fee and be like, like. And I was like, I go to work at 4 in the morning. Like, I clock enough where I had to be up, like at 3:30. And like I come out at 10 in the morning and like, I get like, oh, like you're not being grateful. Like you're working.
B
Like you're not working enough.
A
Exactly. Like you're working in the ac. Why are you crying? And my sister working three hours. It was like that. But my sister was always on my side. My sister always noticed and she was always like, she would fight with my parents for me. She said, you guys are not being fair with Valeria. Like, it's not for. I kind of would show my sister a little bit because like, I would cry to her and I'd be. Be like, I know it's not your fault, but like, how do you not see how they're being with me? You know, she would cry with me. She's like, I'm so sorry. Like I don't know what to do. And like, she would always like, be like, yeah, but my parents, I don't know, like I. I can't blame them. Like, I was very amazing because I'm very like, no, like, I'll do it myself, like, I'll figure it out. Like I don't need anything. And my sister's very much the opposite. She's like, be like, I'll figure it out. Like, I don't need your help. So maybe like that's why they're doing like that. Like, they're like that. So I can't put it on my sister. Yeah, see? Ias, did you ever confront your parents?
B
Did you ever tell like, your parents, like, you guys are making me feel this way? I see the indifference. Like, did you ever confront them? If so, yes, dude.
A
When I was drunk one time I blacked out and like I. My dad went to go hug me and I was like. And I, like, I started crying. I'm like, how is it possible that like, like. And I'll be like, I could be the president. I'll be like, you're still not doing enough. So I told my dad and my mom everything. Like me because I was drunk, like I had never told them anything. And like, pretty much what they told me, like they didn't apologize. Cuz my dad doesn't know how to say sorry. But they were like, okay, she needs it. And you don't like, since. And my, my grandma has told me that even since we were little, since we're like three and two. My dad would always say like, Valeria is going to figure it out. Mariana is more. She needs us. Like, she needs the extra poo. She needs extra Love. She needs the extra like boost. And you're strong. Not that Mariana isn't, but we're just very different. And like my dad said, like. And you're going to figure out your way out.

A
So it's like he was like, you could. You don't need us as much as she does. And I was like, okay, I don't need you guys. But you guys don't have to make it so obvious that like, because I felt growing up that they didn't love me enough.
B
Yeah.
A
And I felt like I was missing a lot. And like that just kind of spiraled onto like my relationships and everything. So I was like, I never felt like I was enough. So I was always like, I would accept the bare minimum. Minimum. And so I told him. And I felt ugly. I felt so ugly. I was like, I already know she's like blonde and green eyes and like beautiful. Like so, like my whole. Maybe that's why I've gone like my.
B
Pretty privilege for your sister.
A
I thought, I don't know what I thought. I just thought like that Jonathan, I started feeling like I didn't deserve it. Like, whatever I did, I was like, maybe like, I don't know what, but I just don't deserve their love. I don't deserve not their love because I didn't have their love, but I didn't deserve the treatment that she got. I. Whenever I have kids in some very far future, I want to make sure that. That I'm very equal. And that's something I've talked to, like, even George about. I'm like, even, like, if we have sons and girls, like, if the boy could have the girl over, so can the girl. And if the girl can't have her boyfriend over, then the guy can't. Because I never want to set that. Like, oh, a guy can do it and you can't. Yeah, a guy could get away with it, and you can. Because I hated that growing up. That me up, like, mentally, like, so, like, guys could go and cheat, but if a girl does it, then it's horrible. Like, and nobody could cheat ever. Like, that's horrible. But like, that mentality, like, one time, like, I got a huge fight with my parents because my brother had a little girlfriend. He was cheating on her at school. He was like, 14. And I took a picture of it. Like, when he would do some up, be like, look at the picture I have. I'm gonna show your girl. And then he went to go tattle, like, telling me on my parents. My parents got me in so much trouble that he's a boy that leave him alone to no. And I'd be like, what the. Like, that's like machismo and all that is not okay. And then favoritizing a child is also not okay. That's something that whenever I have kids, I'm gonna make sure. Well, I'm gonna try my best to make sure that treat them all equally, because I to don't want. Want one of my kids to go with what I went to. Like, I gone to therapy and, like, stuff. And I like, now I'm securing myself. But I grew up super insecure, feeling ugly, feeling like I wasn't enough, Feeling like, you know.
B
In your confidence, you know, the way you were growing up, do you feel like you were almost like a to yourself kid? You were shy. Maybe you felt not the best about yourself. And what did you do to start making yourself feel and think like, you know what? Like, I don't need anyone's validation. I am enough. I am beautiful. I am who I am.
A
So I feel like yes and no. I feel like I was also super, like, bubbly because I wanted to yamara tension. Yeah. I was like, okay, so if I can't do it, by the way that, like, my grades and, like, my looks Whatever. Like, I'm gonna do it. Like, my personality and something as a compliment. I love it. Like, oh, I love your personality. I'm like, thanks. I worked so hard on it because. Because I wanted to, like, namaste, like, be myself. But I did grow up. Like, and, like. And even though I never showed it that much in my head, I always felt like, oh, no. Like, I'm not enough. Like, I would, like, go to the gym or go do this or go do that. And I still didn't feel like. Like. Like, I would always, like, I was really hard on myself. Like, extremely hard on myself. And I feel like I didn't get over. Over that. So maybe, like, until I got with George, or, like, a little bit before I got with George, I was like, you know what? Like, I'm enough. Like, I don't care. Like, if people don't see, like, I know, like, I have a good heart. I'm ambitious. Like, I'm smart. Like, I'm enough for everyone. Like, and if somebody doesn't see that, then that's on them. That's not on me. But growing up, it definitely affected me. I was super insecure. Like, I always be, like, if someone complimented me, I would always think they're lying. I'd be like, you're just saying that because, like, you just complimented the girl next to me. You're like, you know, like I said, just felt ugly and, like, no, say, bad about myself. I started going to a therapist, and I would, like, just told her everything. And she just, like, kind of made me understand that just because I don't feel like they see it doesn't mean that it's not seen. That she made me realize that I'm worth it. I'm beautiful, I'm strong, I'm smart. And that just because some people get more validation that I do doesn't mean that I don't, like, have what they have. That, you know, everyone's their own person and everyone's beautiful in their own way. And to just know that I was like, okay, like, so maybe I'm not ugly. Maybe I'm not dumb. Maybe I'm not, like, I am enough.
B
And you are, you know? Yeah. A piece of advice for anyone watching right here, right now that might feel invisible when it comes to their parents, that you were, like, the black sheep that feels that maybe, you know, their parents prefer their other siblings that also want a piece of advice for anyone watching that, you know, is or has been in the position you were growing up.
A
So definitely don't hold Courages I'm super against like Persona. Know that you are enough. Start reading, start going to the gym, start doing stuff to make yourself feel good. See I've always said dreams. I'm going to accomplish this because I'm going to accomplish this. So if you don't see, get seen by your parents or you don't feel like you don't do, trust me, they're your parents, they love you. Like but maybe just cuz they show favoritism to one kid other than you. Like I know it's hard, trust me, I know it's hard. But just know that you are enough. You are smart, you are beautiful, you are everything that you need to be and just working on yourself and healing like.
B
And I just recently made a comment maybe like two podcast episodes ago, you know, and holding on to those grudges really does hold us back from like living our full potential like life. You know what I mean? And I've always said this and if you grew up that way to make sure you give your kids all the love in the world equally so you know that none of your kids will grow up feeling the same way you grew up. You know, break that cycle, literally break the cycle amigas. Remember that and just do the difference that will make the difference in your and your kids lives, you know. How are you in school?
A
I was smart. I'm proud of myself. I was always like in advanced classes this but I was also very. My teacher would literally have to move me from cuz you can't put me. My teacher moved me next to the most quiet person in my class and I was still like so what are you up to?
B
Why are you so quiet?
A
Why are you so quiet? Like why don't you talk like you know, so I'm very like talkative but I was also very like on my school cuz I knew momento cuz I don't be like I was going to get bullied at my house. I was going to be called Mrs. V. Like I was very like on my grade grades because they would always be like that was like, like if you didn't have straight A's. So I was also very very on my grades. I played sports. Like I was very like I was never in clubs to be honest. But I was saying that I was friends Control Mundo Con those nerds, athletes. I was just, I've been, I have been. I was m. And will always be hopefully friendly to everyone. Like I'll always have a smile on my face. I'm like an empath. I Want everyone to feel okay. I'm the one that if we're in the room and I see someone that's in the corner, like solo, I'll be like, oh no, let me go get that person. Like I don't want them to feel left out. I don't want them to feel like they're like alone, you know. So I want everyone to feel good. And I think that showed like in high school because I was friends with everyone.
B
Well, you're in school right now.
A
Yeah.
B
And what made you go into that field?
A
So right now I'm in business, marketing and information systems. And well, that's what I'm going to school for. But I don't know, part of me sometimes wants to be like, oh, like I don't want to do school. But I know know that social media, it doesn't always have to be forever. So like I do want to have something to back me up.
B
Yeah.
A
And if I'm being honest, I'm doing it for my parents. I'm doing it because my dad never got to go to school. My mom has her masters, but my dad had a very, very, very different life from how I grew up. So that's why I give him so much like grace because like he doesn't know a lot better. He's the most intelligent man I know and the most successful man that I know with like super little tools. But I'm doing it for him cuz he never got able to do it. And I know I was like, dad, I'm going to drop out. Like was that something that grow.
B
Your parents were very much like vocal about like mi. Was that something that you heard a lot growing up?
A
Yeah, 100% that was something. El, you're going to do good in school. Like you're like, we got tutors. Like it was, we were struggling how to like fall back in school. My brother was a different story. But he's a guy so he gets, he gets away with it. But me and my sister, it was like, no, you guys, if you guys don't get good grades, like phone's taken away. As soon as you're out of school, you're back in the house. Like so we were always very much pushed to do good academically.
B
But I think that's a good thing, you know, because you're gonna be like, you know what? You know, my parents were very much like, you know, we want you guys to go to school. They were never like very forceful on it. They just very much like, I wish and I hope you guys Go to school.
A
They're vocal.
B
Yeah, vocal, you know, like, oh, you know, type. And I went to school for a little bit, you know, I started kind of blowing up during the same time as I started going to school and I kind of left it. And now as an adult, I'm like, you know what? Yeah. I'm pushing almost 30, you know what I mean? But I feel like for you, you know, you're doing amazing. You're going to school. Yes. Maybe because you wanted to make your parents proud. You know what?
A
I.
B
You decide to move to Mexico and how did you tell your parents the news? Were they for it? Against it?
A
Oh, boy. That's the story. So I felt lost when I graduated high school. Like, I knew I wanted to go to college, but I didn't sign up for any like, college, like going far, like, because I didn't want to stay home. I knew I did not want to stay at my parents house because my parents parents house. It was like so. So it was very much like that. So I didn't want to stay home. And my dad had mentioned kind of like, I'm not gonna let you go far away for college. Like, and I didn't even like, do the whole process. It was like June and I was like, school starts in August. Like, I'll have to go to community college. Go. Not with community college. I ended up going. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna go to Mexico. I made a whole power. So I was gonna be like, okay. It was like a 20 minute presentation and I showed my dad. I went to this room, I was like. So I did this whole thing that worked so hard for. He was like, no. And I was like, what you mean? What you mean? But I ended up convincing him. I talked to them and I was like, you know what? This is what I want to do for my future. Because I went to la, which is a really, really good school in Mexico. And I was like, it's a great school. Like, it's going to be a lot cheaper than here. Like paying for like my school, my apartment, my car was still going to be cheaper than paying for like a university over here. So. And I was like, and I'm going to be with like a daughter of one of your friends. Like, you know, like, she was also a good girl. And I was like, I mean, I was like, okay. And I was like, that's what I. And so I ended up going to Gualahara. I moved to Gualahara, but it was in peak co times, so like cuz I was like the first four months, like we didn't even go to schools online. Like I didn't have my. I was compartimos hobbies. So like being. I had never been without her for more than a week. Like with my parents, I was just not being with them. My brother, like, I love my brother to death, but he's a boy. So it was a different connection. Like my grandma, like she had moved back to Colombia. So I was like, I don't even have my grandma back, back home. And so like I was like really sad. I was like, oh my God, I did the wrong choice. But I'm. I'm the type to be like, I'm not going to admit to it. I'm just going to be like, okay, I'm having fun. But yeah, I was in Guadalajara.
B
What do you feel like? You know, like o. What was the hardest thing that you felt like was super hard for yourself to adapt to.
A
I think el machismo. Back then I was in a battle relationship. So it was very. Also machismo. Like very, very machista. And like so was like his family and like my family was machista. So I was like, like, I'm alone. I made the wrong choice. Like I don't have no. I had no friends back then. Like I only had like the girl I was living with and she was cool. But like we also had like differences obviously. And I was just like. It was like kind of a sh. Like oh, like I up. Like I should have stayed home. But after covet happened, like when we started going out more, when I started like going to school and like making friends. I regret, not regret because it's part of my story, but in the sense I started going out, like nothing bad. I never like did anything bad. I never did any drugs. I never hooked up with anyone. Like not that's bad, but like in my little 18 year old, like, like that was super bad. So imagine being 18, like thought maybe that's how I couldn't do nothing. And then all of a sudden I was in Guadalajara with my dad's credit card, like in my apartment, my car. So I started going out. My dad found out and I got my ass brought back over here.
B
How did he find out for the credit cards?
A
No. One of his friend's son seen me at the club and he told his dad and his dad told my dad. And then he was like, so you're out? And I was like, that's not me.
B
Like it's A.I.
A
No, no. And I was tracked on like 360. So I would, like, literally leave my phone. Like, I would do it the most so they wouldn't find out.
B
Oh, so even in Mexico.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
You know, while living in Mexico, what was that like for you? And what was the first viral moment where you're like, oh, I can actually do this full time.
A
It started because one of my really good guy friends, he did TikTok. And I was like. He was like, oh, get raised with me. And I was like, let me, like, hop on that. So I. One time I recorded, I was going out to a club. I had every, like, my whole family blocked on social media. And I was like, get dressed with me. But lolo. And I was like. And like, I try, like, four different outfits. So when I got back to the house, like, I had. I went from, like, I don't know, like, a thousand followers on Instagram to, like, 2000. Not to me. That was a ton, because I. That video, like, blew up, like, overnight, too. Yeah, overnight. It completely blew up. And I was like, damn. Like, that's kind of a lot of people. And, like, I just started, like, going with that, like, doing get Ready with me, like, outfit videos. And that's why a lot of people are like, why do you make videos in Spanish? Of, like, when I meet someone, I always talk in English. Yeah. And I'm like, well, because when I started doing social media, I lived in Guadalajara. So, like, it was just natural to be. Like, it says meow feed. And, like, you know, so it was always, like, easier to do in Spanish. And, like, it just kind of stuck to me.
B
Yeah.
A
And like, now when I make a video in English, I'm like, this feels weird. Like, it feels like no sense because I'm so used to recording in Spanish.
B
See a comment. I think you were answering questions on your Instagram story. Do you get that a lot, though?
A
Like, I get. That's probably one of my biggest hate comments is the way how I mix, like, English and Spanish. Spanglish. Because. And I'm like, okay, like, sometimes. Because, like, sometimes for me, like, there's not just, like, oh, like, why do you mix, like, languages? Like, don't tell me, like, mokela la gringa or, like, things like that. When I, like, put a little, like, English.
B
They think you were born in Mexico.
A
Yeah. Like, I'm like, that's just how I talk. Like, even if I, like, if you see my text messages, they're in Spanglish. That's just like, my normal. And, like, I was like, like, let me see you speak English as good as I speak Spanish, like, or like the other way. But since people could be mean, but it's because sometimes they don't understand that I'm not doing it to seem to be cool. Like, I'm not mixing like the languages because that's. I feel like a lot of people think that like in Mexico they're like, oh, like she tries to like speak English in her videos to like make her look like, cool. Or like I'm like, no, like that's just how I talk and like I speak Spanish cuz like the majority of my, my following is like Spanish speaking. Yeah. But my, the language I use in my day to day with my boyfriend, my sister, with like my friends is English.
B
When you first started doing it, was there anyone, you know, friends or family that were like, did you ever have anyone doubt you?
A
I almost got kicked out of my house when my dad found out I did social media.
B
Oh my God.
A
Wow. My dad was super. He's. His whole life he's been against like social media. He's like, why have to post everything? Like you guys have to be more private. Like it was always like, if we went out to like trips or something, he'd be like, why are you guys gonna post it? Like, for what? Like, which I understand. Like, he's from a different time, like from like, you know, school. He's very old school. So like it was when the song was like popping and I got him something from Psycho Bunny and from Burberry and I was like, I started the video with that. Like it just popped off and Mexico and one of his friend's kids had seen it and they're like. And I was like. And he seen that and he got livid. Like he was pissed.
B
Did he know about your boyfriend at the time?
A
Yeah, he knew about it.
B
Okay, okay, okay.
A
But he didn't agree with like, social media and it was nothing that he would always tell them. Like I, I would always be like, oh, like, yeah, no, like, I don't know who. I don't understand why people do social media. No. And I was like. So he, he talked to me. He was like, if you're going to keep on doing social media, then like, you're not going to do it at my house. Like, no. He was like, jo, no, I don't agree with that. Like, I don't understand why you guys have to be in the public eye. Like, you guys, why don't you guys just go to school and like work a corporate job? Like that's what he's always wanted for us, like, go to school and get a corporate job. Because that's what back in the time is.
B
Yeah.
A
Because, you know, now nowadays every, like, a lot is worth, like, social media is worth a lot.
B
Did he not know the value of social media? Okay.
A
And he didn't understand it till, like, maybe, like, five months. He was like, oh, my. Like, why are you going to get paid for, like, recording videos and posting stuff online? I'd be like, dad, like, it could be a job. And one time I showed him my bank and I was like, m. Like, that's from one video. And he was like, oh. And he just kind of like, he's like, literally. But that's when he kind of realized it. But in the beginning, like, everyone would tell me stuff because my grandma, my mom, too. They'd be like, if you post something, like, that's going to stay with you forever. Because they're always like, very corporate job. Corporate job, corporate job.
B
Like a digital footprint.
A
Yeah, exactly. They're like, like, if I would, like, do like, a video, singing or a video, like, take a little bit of drama. Like, little. Like, not even drama, but, like, little problem doesn't mean. Yeah. And they'd be like, that's gonna stay with you forever. Like, when you're getting a job, like, you're not gonna find a job because of social media. And, like, they never understood it.
B
Social media comes with a lot of pros and cons. You know, those papas, you know, we're very much like, oh, it can bring this negativity into your life, but it also brings a lot of positive things. You know, what do you think are pros and cons when it comes to social media?
A
For me, I think the biggest pro is a community I built. Like, not even, like, apart and apart. Like, being my own boss is like, knowing I have people, at least for my platform that I like. I show who I am as a person that know me for me, that love me, that can see me, can see me with no makeup and all, see me glammed up. And they'll still love me, like, because they love my personality. They love, like, my spunk. They love me. But the concept is definitely dealing with the hate. Comments. I feel like it could be with a lot of, like, people. Obviously my life is public, so they have a lot of opinions. And sometimes it's hard to listen to those opinions because I'm like. But it's not like that. Like, and sometimes you want to come out and make a video and be like, no, like, it's not how it seems, or it's not that, like you guys are making something up. It's like that, like you need to. It's kind of like it comes with a job, like, knowing. And also I think one of the biggest cons is like that it could be like, it's a very up and down thing that like, today we could be good tomorrow. No. But it's not secure. It's not secure exactly. But I'm enjoying it while I can.
B
I think social media, like you said, it's like, it's all about having fun. I've always said if people start social media to make money, I feel like it's gonna come very hard. You know what I mean? Like, you need to really do social media because you want to do it.
A
Yeah. Dinner.
B
You know, and really wanted to do. I feel like social media is one of those things that come with a lot of good or bad comoises too, you know, the hate comments. How do you react to hate comments? Has there ever been comments that really do get to you where you're like, oh, like something that maybe I'm already insecure about or something that, you know, I don't like about myself and they're pointing it out. Has there ever been moments have really, like, hurt you?
A
Yes, definitely. Definitely. I feel like it's a lot about like, Persona, like, and I was like, but like, she's my sister. Like, you have to see how she talks to me. Like it's normal. But people were like, you're such a bad sister. And I was like, like, am I a bad sister? I remember I told her I was like, mariana. But like, I know I'm not. Like, I generally, like, I'm always there for my sister. Like, she's always like, I. I always heard like, please move out here. Like, I want her, like, I want her with me. But when it's called matakan, like, I don't, I don't like that. Like, like I get really pissed off because, like, they'll be like, oh, like he's this and he's that. And I'll be like, no, like, you don't know him. Like, you don't know how he is. Like, you only see five, like, seconds of his life. Like when I post him and because I feel like I kind of dragged him on with me. Like, he never did social media until I started. So when they attack him, I'm like, like, no, like that's not okay. Or like when they attack my sister, like, things like that and like, not to seem ungrateful because I feel like you could say that we love our job. We. We're so grateful that we have this platform that we're able to use it for being for. And that's something that when people ask me like, do you love your job? I'm like, I love it. I love every second of it. I love being able to inspire women. I love being able to. That could. If I want to wake up today at five in the morning, I can. I want to wake up tomorrow at 10 or 11, 12, I can. Like, it is privilege. Privilege.
B
And it's a privilege that you know me and as well, I'm sure you, you know, we hold with like, a lot of love because you guys have been watching me since I was like 16, 17, and the fact that I'm 27 and I'm still doing this full time. I've never worked an actual job in my life other than when I was like 16 at the fair. You know, it's crazy and all, you know, the love you guys give me that I'm still here standing. Jorge, for those of you guys that don't know you're in a relationship, which I feel like people love your guys's relationship. Who made the first move?
A
When he first messaged me, he, like, followed me, liked, on my pictures. But I was like. And like, I'm not. Like, I was not looking for relationship. I had just gone out of a really bad relationship. So I was like, om is like, hell no. Far away from me. Like, I don't believe in them. They're all liars. They're all cheaters. So, like, I seen that a guy, like, followed me and like, all my stories are like, eh. And like an hour later, the same guy followed me again and liked all my pictures again. And I was like, oh, I sent me a message. And I was like, is this the same guy? And I was like, let me click on his profile. And I clicked on his profile and I was like, oh, my God, he's so cute. I thought he was so handsome. So he had slid up on my story saying, like, no. How are you? Hi, pretty. Can I get to know you? Nada. It was like I had posted like a picture of like, my body, like I to just want finish working out. And he was like, oh, no. And I was like, can we move? I was like, I did something like, find out or something like that. And we live far from each other. We live like three and a half, three threeish hours away from each other. So there was gonna be A violin. Fresno, which is like an hour away from me and two hours away from him. He was like, I'm gonna be here. And the funny thing is, my friends had tried to be. Had been convincing me to go. And I was like, no, I don't really like violence. That's not really my vibe. Like, I'm not going to go. But when he told me he was going to be there, I was like, like, I'm going to go. My friends. And I was like, come on. Like, we're going to have so much fun. Like, let's go. Let's go. And then at the Violet, Like, I had been looking for him. Like, we had been looking for each other. I intimidated him. And then at some point, we made eye contact. See you. So we went up to each other. We stayed together the whole Violet. I. That was my first ballet I've ever gone to, but he had gone to multiple. And he says that that's the first time he's ever stayed with the girl, the whole violet. And like, even his friends were like, oh, like, what the heck? Cuz, like, we were literally together the whole, like, no, me. He showed me he was toxic. Or, like. Cuz, like, in the beginning of the Violet, I had danced with this other guy and he wanted to dance more. And I was like, no. Like, not really interested. And I was like, I'll dance with you later. I'll dance with you later. So when I was dancing with George right now, husband, I was like, oh, please don't turn me around. Like, there's a guy told him I was gonna dance with him later. Like, I've been ignoring him. He came out, they had to dance right in front of the guy, and I'm like, oh, my God. But, like, he's kind of like saloso. And. But when I first met him, I was like, it's never gonna work. We live far as heck. He was in his mother. Like, he was like, being a boy. Like, he was like, just going out every weekend. Like, I remember when I was working at target at 4 in the morning, like, sometimes I'd be like, oh, like, I just woke up. I'm gonna go to work at 4 in the morning. And he was still out partying. And I was like, this guy. And apart, he was like, oh, like, me and my friends gone Airbnb. Like, you and your friends should come over. And I was like, what type of girl do you think I am? Like, hell, no, I'm not going to go with you. I don't even know you. I was Like I need to go home to my parents. Like I need to be home by like 12. Like you're tripping. And like we were just kind of like always like snapping. But like we were always like I always thought he was super cute, but like I was like it's never going to work. Like he's super far. And then one time I went to go help my friend move into like her dorm and. And she lived. She goes to Cal Poly. Well, she went. And he lived in Paso Robles, which is like 30 minutes away. And I told him and he went over to my friend's apartment and we stayed talking till five in the morning. Like literally just talking. And I was like, damn. Like I really like this guy. But I was like, I just knew like get he was bad. Like he was just bad news.
B
Was the distance. Like one of the things that you were like, yeah, I'm not gonna even try.
A
I was like, I'm not even gonna try. I was like, we live far as. And then apart. I'm like, like you could just tell like you know what you see a guy like oh hell no. He has problems. That's how he was like, like he had like hello, like followers. And I was like, no, like I don't want nothing to do with you. Like I could just tell you. It's just like he has hookup and that. And then one time he came down to visit me all the way to Livingston just to go. And then he was going like every weekend, twice a week, he would drive six hours. He would take me to like go to the movies and go eat and like things like that. Like n. Like, but it was always like he would take me out on days. I'm like damn, this guy's driving all the way out here like to take me to the movies. And like my friends and his friends would be like, oh, like you guys are hella falling for each other. And he'd be like, nah, like we're just friends. Like we like, we like hanging out but like we're not like we're never gonna be anything. We're like both negados. And then we obviously ended up falling for each other. We fell in love. And he asked me out twice. He asked me out one time and I was like, no. Like my parents, my parents didn't know I'm a boyfriend. I was like, my parents, were they gonna say. And then he asked me out again and I was like okay, I'm just going to tell my dad. But it's cuz he did the Most for me. Like, the most. Like. Well, the first time he asked me out, he asked me. I was like a ramo. Like a basket. He's like. And I was like. I was. At the beginning, I was like, like. But like, I knew, like, I was already in love with him. But it was like. Like, I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship. But I said, yeah. And I was like, you know what? Like, yes. Like we're going to like date and stuff. And then like, because when he asked me out, I left to Colombia for three months. So I was like, there's no way that we're gonna do like, like that long distance. Like I knew how he was. I'm like, tres messes. Like, with like, you know, like, he's not like, no, he's not gonna be like, feel to me. And this guy went. Flew all the way out to Colombia, like. Like, he was like, my parents don't even know this. Like, I'm like, hi, mom. But it was like on Thursday, he was like, by the way, like, I missed you too much. Like, Colombia. And I was like, no way. No.
B
Okay, okay, okay. At least.
A
But it was like after, like I was there for like two months in Colombia. And then. Cuz when I was in Colombia, I was still like. Like, I don't know, like if I get home, like, I don't think, like, it's going to work like my parents. Cuz George back then, like, he had earrings, he had eyebrows lids. And my dad is my cheese pl. So I was like, I'm. I can't present him to my family. But when he went to Colombia, I was like, this guy's doing this the most for me. Like, if he's working this hard for me, like, I know it's going to work out. Like, if my dad and my mom don't like him, then that's on them. And yeah, look. Now look at us.
B
How are you guys at the beginning? How did your parents react when you finally told them, like, hey, we're dating. Was there anyone opposed? You know, your parents? His parents. Tell us a little bit more about that.
A
My parents were so against it. Like, no. La lucha. The first, like Yokerono says misses that it got really, really bad at my house. I was like thinking, I'm gonna leave because, like, they didn't want me to have a boyfriend. They want me to focus in school. Like I had just gone out of this really bad relationship. They were like, no, like, you need to focus on yourself. But I was like, no, like I know George is not like that. George has shown me like time and time again that he's willing to do the most. Like, George would come every single weekend from Paso, like, pay hotel guest rooms. And my dad would be like, nope, he can'. Here. He'll come visit you from like. And I'm like, dad, but we have guest rooms. Like, why can't he stay here? Like, I'm going to sneak into his room. But my dad was against it. Me and my mom, like, kind of like we fell out really hard for a moment. But now my dad says that he's like his other son. He's like the son that he never had in a way. Because George is super, like super super cereal. Like, he'll go help my dad with the horses, with the gallos with like, he'll go cut the grass. He'll go clean the like, solar panels. He doesn't to how know how to stay still. So my dad has four sons and another had done the most like the way that George does. So he's always like, oh, mi. I love it was hard. Like when I tell you it was bad like that it was like, literally impossible. But I was like, no. And now, like, and it worked out.
B
You know, because you're always kind of beating around the bush, esque. So how did that come to be? Por ca? How was the wedding? Why did you keep it a secret from your followers?
A
To touch back a little bit. I was in the relationship I was before. I was never seen. So it kind of felt like a car, a continuation from like my parents. And like, when I got with George, I feel like that's when I like, bloomed as a person. Like, I became more confident. I became so sure myself. Cuz like for social media too. Like, I was working at 9 to 5 and he's the one that told me, like, you know what, babe? Like, focus on social media. Like, quit that job. And that's when I was bad with my parents. Like, I be like. Like when Jorge would come, we literally go to Target. Like, I'm going to do it for you. Little snippet from the past is when I moved to Mexico. My ex lives in Mexico, but he lives an hour away. And he would never come visit me. Like once in a blue moon. And like, I was lonely, I was depressed. And like George living three hours away, he would come visit me every single weekend seeing. So like, I just seen how much he did for me and like, how much I bloomed as a person next to him. Like, how I was able to Be myself. How I felt. He made me feel beautiful. Like, he made me feel like I was enough. How I was, like, finally. The way that kind of my grandma seen me, he seen me. Like, he was the first guy in my life to be like, you're. You're enough. You're perfect. You're like. He believed in me with everything. Sia. He's like, you could do it, babe. Like, no. So we got engaged in Mexico. My parents knew about that. And what a lot of people don't know, and it's something that I didn't think I was going to say, but I'll say it, is that we got. As soon as we came back from Mexico, we got married al grande, al courthouse. We signed the papers. We're like, okay, we're married. We had built such a good relationship with my dad, him and my dad, and me and my dad were finally in a position that was like, okay, like, I could actually have a conversation with my dad. Like, me and my dad are in a good place. And I knew if we moved out without getting married, like, it was going to be like, my dad noa, like, cut off completely. Like, he wasn't going to talk to us. He wasn't going to, and we don't need him in any way, shape or form, like, financially. That had took us so hard to build with my dad. So paraen, we went and we got married al. And we want to get married. Alia. I want to graduate school, but I want to have a big wedding. I want to, like, have, like, the wedding of my dreams. And before. The funny thing is, I never wanted to have a wedding, like, my whole life. I was like, oh, I don't want a wedding. That's a waste of money. And when I got proposed to, I was like, I do want a wedding.
B
Because you finally found true love.
A
Because I. My whole life, I had been like, oh, I don't want a wedding. I don't want a wedding. And when I met him and when I got engaged to him, I was like, no, you know what? I do want a wedding. Like, because I was always okay with, like, I would just go get mercy. But no, like, now, like, I feel like, because it's him. And, like, he's like, literally, me, Prince Bas. I'm like, no, I do. I want to, like, have a big wedding, take pictures, like, show you off. You show me off. Like, that type of, like, love story.
B
What was it like when you guys moved in? Ovia mente. That's a huge, you know, transition. What do you Feel like were the hardest things that you guys had to adjust to when living living together.
A
So I think it was very hard because we come from very different backgrounds. Like extremely different because I was always used to being like around and I was like, damn. Like you're so. Like you have all of this and hand out something.
B
Yeah.
A
And to me that was like, whoa. Like he's like a man. Like he has all of this. But we grew up very different. He had to work since he was like 14. Like he had a very different house, like house, house life than me. Like I would grew up in a very like different house. Like we grew up extremely different. So like meshing together, it was kind of like hard. And also a lot of girls are like, oh. Like it's so hard living with a guy because like they're so messy. And I'm like, I'm the messy one. Like he's like, he has like ocd. Like he's super clean. And like I'll leave, like I'll come home, I'll leave my bag on the couch. Like I'll take off my shoes and leave them. I eat, like, I'll shower and leave my clothes. Like I'm very like that. And like that for him is like very like no. Cuz he's very like oc. No, literally, like if you open his. Like I feel like that was hard. And then also just like we're also very soosos. I feel like we've worked on it a lot but in the beginning we're very like we were. We're working on it. Very toxic, jealous like couple. I think I brought it on from my past cuz I was cheated on before. Like I was somewhere where I was like, oh, like a guy could love you and they could cheat. So like I carried on that mindset to my relationship and he was just. He's just said loso. He's like, oh no. Like typical. And I'm like, I was just very insecure. I brought that insecureness to it. So it was very hard like meshing that together and we had different perspectives. Like he's very much like, like, like you know, like work our money. And I'm very like, oh, I'm gonna spend because shopping spree. Because I've never had to worry about money.
B
Yeah.
A
Like I've never like been like, oh, like I can't pay my bills because I've always had my dad.
B
Yeah.
A
And he didn't have that. He said. And Ton says that was also very harsh. I'd be like well, if we can, why not? He's like, so, like, that was always, like, kind of also, like, a clash. But I feel like we're finally at a place where we're, like, finally, like, in peace. Everyone always says when you move in with someone, because it's hard the first, like, few months, but now we're like, it's finally like home. Like, I think it's like.
B
You know, you guys got brought up differently. You guys got taught different things, that it was just more of like an adjusting E. Did you guys have anyone, like, judge you guys, like, I is to get married, or was everyone, like, for it?
A
I think my grandma and my mom, because they grew up very different. They're Colombian in Colombo. So my dad, my mom and my grandma were very against it. But I was like, at this point, I'm doing it because, like, I know that I'm going to be with this person forever. Like, go sign a paper. Like. Like, it's not like I had any doubt in him. So I was like, I'm just gonna do it. And, well, here we are. And nobody actually really knew about it. We knew because I was scared for the backlash. I was scared of the, oh, like, you guys aren't gonna have a wedding. Like, you guys aren't gonna do this. You guys aren't gonna do that. Not, like, let's say, like, it was all going to have their comments. So. And people would always get confused. Like, I call him my boyfriend. I call him my fiance. I call him my husband. So we were like, what is he? And, well, now you guys know he's my husband.
B
Which I love. You know, I feel I. No matter what. And I'm glad that you guys are happy and living because I feel like a lot of people love your guys's relationship online. And, you know, you come from very toxic relationships. You come from a childhood full of machismo. Do you feel like he was different in that sense to where it made it so much easier for you to be like, you know what? This is the man I want.
A
Yes. He never made me, like, doubt myself. And I think it's super important, girls, if you're in a position or in a relationship where you, like. I feel like you always know deep down. But if you feel like you're not enough or he's not doing the most for you, trust me, when I didn't want nothing to do with guys, I had sworn them off. I was like, no, guys. Like, I don't want nothing to do with them. And I met him when I Said.
B
Like.
A
Don'T try to rush love, don't try to find something and also be very give them grace mar that the good away the bad. As long as it's someone that's willing to work like towards like being better. For example, me and George, we got brought up differently and he was willing to work through it. He went to therapy one time because I was like hey, you cannot talk like that to me. Like we're a couple like and it's something like he worked on it like now he's a totally different person than he was when we, we began. So as long as the person's showing you that they're willing to like work on it actions, that's, that's your person.
B
Exactly. I feel like a relationship is always like a work in process and I'm glad you know your life to the full potential with the love of your life. You know, que pas ventitres, you know, you went under the knife and you got your nose done. You know what made you make that decision of getting your nose done? Were there comments made to you growing up that made me like stuck with you that you're like, oh my God, when I grow up I want to get this done. What was it like researching for the right doctor the day of surgery recovery.
A
My nose has always been like my biggest insecurity. My dad, his nickname to me is Narisona because like there's a chiquita. And I always thought like, I never thought anything of it. I was like oh, like it's just like a nickname because my nose used to be really wide. And I remember when I was like I think 11 or 12, I was at a pool party and he was eating hot dogs and I was like, this smells good. And he was like, yeah, I bet you can smell everything. He started laughing with his friends and like that's the first time that I was like narisona. Like he's saying I was like my nose is big. Like and that's when it became an insecurity. So now when I was like 11, 12 when that guy said it and I had just been in a security and with social media it started like even because people would bring it up. And I remember one time this is super like off, not off topic but I had made a video saying like, oh, I don't know if I should do like my nose or my boobs cuz they're my biggest insecurity. And George had a really crazy toxic ex and she texted me separately. She's like, you should get your Nose done first. And I was like, so I had something I always wanted to do. And then it was really like, the woman taught bro. And I was like, you know what? I'm going to look for a doctor. And I looked for doctors in Turkey. You know what Mala said by next month, I was already under control. Doctor. Super, super rapid.
B
You got it done in Turkey.
A
In Turkey.
B
I want that.
A
Scary. Yes. My mom and my dad, they were like, if you do it in Mexico and Colombia, like, we'll pay for it. If you do it in Turkey, we're not going to pay for it. They didn't want me to go to Turkey. And I was like, I'll pay for it myself. Like, I'm going to go do it in Turkey. But I didn't. I paid him. I only paid him half. He. He was like, okay, yeah. After I paid him, like the half, he was like, I don't. I went to Turkey. I went under. I actually went with George and my mom. And that's something that also a lot of people don't know. Only my close friends. Cuz my dad's machismo. He was like, no. Like, he was against it. And my mom was the one that he was like. I was like, okay, but nobody could find out. And me talking to podcast and so I only posted that he went with me on my close friend. Like, just prove to me how much he loved me. Like the whole time. Like, so, like, he helped me clean everything. He would help me, like, put my clothes on. That's the first time in my life I've seen him with Theas because he's good at sleeping. But that week he was like, only worried about me. So he would wake up in the middle of the night, like, gave me my medicine. I'd be like, hey, come on, let's go clean. Let's go do this. Like, he was always like, how was recovery?
B
Like, do you feel like it was like an easy recovery? My boyfriend got his nose done maybe like two years ago, a year and a half ago maybe. And his recovery was kind of smooth. I mean, he had his little more complicated. How do you feel like your recovery was in terms of your nose?
A
I feel like it was super smooth. A week after we did a mini euro trip, we went to Paris. We. We went to like, health places in Italy. And the doctor was like, you cannot do, like, you cannot be walking. And I was like, I'll be fine. You see, I don't know. My pain tolerance is high. I was just like, I'm in Europe, like, Don't. And it was super smooth, super, super smooth.
B
How was it like, mentally? Because I feel like for nose. I feel like they always tell you that you have to mentally prepare yourself to like, get your nose done. Because, you know, undia, you. You go under with the nose that you like were born with and then you wake up in the middle of your face. You know, I feel like a lot of people. My boyfriend got told a lot that he could have a lot of like, body dysmorphia or like notes. Did you struggle with that or did you have to like, mentally prepare yourself, like, prior?
A
I mentally prepared myself prior and I told everyone around me, my friends, my family, my boyfriend, everyone. I was like, if you think my nose looks crazy, please do not tell me. Like, I cannot hear. Because I had seen so many things about like, body dysmorphia. I was like, big shock. And I knew of like, my dad jokingly told me, you're my, my boyfriend or my mom, like, so I told everyone there's an antis, like if we have like no medical, absolute. So like after I was like, like, is it like two pointy? Is it no maker, but it's just part of the process.
B
Yes.
A
Trust the process.
B
That, you know, you were in between getting your nose done, your boobs done, poquito de es process. So what was that like? How was recover surgery? Were you scared, excited going under.
A
Give away for a boob job?
B
How was the recovery process for that one?
A
Super simple. Like, like I was posting stories the next day. Like, walking around, he was like, ass down, like, girl, you just got surgery. And I was like, I feel fine.
B
Like in terms of cost, as Moscoso. The boob job or the nose?
A
The.
B
The nose. Oh, Turkey. The. The booze.
A
You got them down here in Guadalajara.
B
Oh, okay. Okay. So that was like so much cheaper to me.
A
Yeah, it was. And we have a house in Colima, so I got the surgery in Guadalajara and I recovered in.
B
In my dad's house in Kichis. Love everything we've talk, whether that is relationship wise, career wise, school wise. In the next five years.

Like either having our own business, investing in real estate, which hopefully we do soon, but being smarter with our money in the way that we're like working it, not just spending it, which we're in the process of sometimes I'm like, girl, you need to be smarter with your money.

Host: Alannized
Guest: Valeria Carrasco
In this episode of Noche de Pendejadas, host Alannized welcomes Valeria Carrasco, a full-time content creator and student pursuing a degree in Business, Marketing, and Information Systems. Valeria shares her passion for lifestyle and relationship content, aiming to inspire and motivate her audience.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "I like to motivate girls to go to the gym, be successful, be their own person, be ambitious."
[06:00]
Valeria delves into her upbringing in a privileged yet sheltered environment, highlighting the pervasive machismo in her household. Her father, characterized by traditional gender roles, imposed strict rules on his daughters while granting more freedom to her brother. This imbalance fostered feelings of insecurity and being undervalued.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "My dad was very much machista. For example, if a guy did something wrong, it was forgivable, but if a girl did, it was unforgivable."
[14:55]
As the middle child, Valeria often felt overlooked compared to her siblings. Her brother received leniency for his actions, whereas Valeria and her sister were held to higher standards. This favoritism contributed to her sense of inadequacy and struggle for parental approval.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "I wasn't the favorite; I was always overlooked. My brother got away with a lot, and my sister was perfect in their eyes."
[25:53]
Valeria discusses her lifelong battle with self-esteem, exacerbated by her parents' differential treatment. Despite excelling academically and socially, she internalized the belief that she wasn't "enough." Therapy and personal growth, especially through her relationship with George, helped her overcome these insecurities.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "I started going to a therapist, and she made me realize that I'm worth it. I'm beautiful, I'm strong, I'm smart."
[35:11]
Valeria shares her transition into social media, initially facing resistance from her traditional family. Despite early skepticism, she built a supportive community by authentically sharing her life. Social media provided her with a platform to express herself, though it also exposed her to negativity and hate comments.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "The biggest pro is the community I built. Being my own boss and knowing people love me for who I am is empowering."
[52:24]
Valeria recounts her journey to finding love with George, highlighting the challenges of a long-distance relationship influenced by cultural differences. Their relationship blossomed through mutual support and understanding, ultimately leading to marriage. George's willingness to work through their differences played a pivotal role in their strong bond.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "George has shown me time and time again that he's willing to do the most. He's like the son I never had."
[62:35]
Addressing her insecurities about her nose, Valeria decided to undergo rhinoplasty. Despite her father's initial disapproval, she proceeded with the surgery in Turkey, supported by George. The procedure was crucial for her self-confidence, and she shares a positive recovery experience.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "My nose has always been my biggest insecurity. Getting it done was a way to finally feel confident in my own skin."
[73:51]
Looking ahead, Valeria aspires to complete her education, invest in real estate, and possibly start a business with George. She emphasizes the importance of breaking negative familial cycles, fostering equality, and prioritizing self-worth. Her advice to listeners centers on self-acceptance, healing, and striving for personal growth.
Notable Quote:
Valeria: "Don't hold grudges. Know that you are enough. Work on yourself and healing."
