[B]

Welcome back to another episode of the Nikki and Bri Show. Hey, hey. Hey, Bri. Hi, Nikki. Okay, so we're gonna do something fun today, which you're already aware of, but we're gonna let all our listeners know. So when we did an episode a little back, far back or whatever, we wanted to ask each other five. We called it the Curious conversations. So we asked each other five questions that we're curious about and we wanted to see if the other one was an expert at or their knowledge on it. Yeah, which Brie came out thinking she was a scientist, which she clearly wasn't. So we thought again because our listeners loved it. And I learned a lot about you, Brie.

[A]

See, that's the thing is I learned a lot about you as well. I didn't learn a lot about life. I mean, I definitely. We got to say that for the expert experts. But I'm going to come at you today with curious questions I have actually about you.

[B]

Excuse me. Just like, it's like I don't know, knowledge on myself.

[A]

See, that's what happens when you're the black cloud of the twin group. You know, you instantly become thunder and lightning. It's like, hey, thunder. No, I didn't think at all that you don't know anything about yourself. I'm curious to know your answers to These questions.

[B]

Okay, well, then you want to go first, Ms. Confidence over there?

[A]

Oh, it's not confidence. I just am curious. Okay, so something I was thinking about, because you and I have been together since the womb, and, I mean, right when life started. Right when life started. You think of childhood. We lived in the same house for 18 years. We go off on our own, but still kind of interwoven, connected. And I was thinking, if you could bring one thing back from when we were kids that you loved, what would you bring back? Like, what was your favorite thing of, like, us growing up to arrest being kids or something?

[B]

I would bring back Lake Tahoe summers with Nana and Pop Up.

[A]

But you get to do Lake Tahoe at my house.

[B]

It's different. Late. It's different because as a child, we would go in there when we were always excited. We always get our outfits. Remember, we always call my dusting child outfits. So, like, we get similar outfits, same pattern. I was, for some reason, always in pants. You were in dresses. And we get so pumped to get on Southwest. Like, mom and dad would wave goodbye. We would take the plane by ourselves as little kids. Gosh. Remember, flight attendants were always amazing to us.

[A]

Yeah, but you remember we were such brats to each other. At times. We tried to put peanuts in our drink, in each other's drinks and get really mad.

[B]

I remember the one. One of the times the guy sat in the middle of us to, like, break us up. Do you remember that?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, a hummingbird just came by Bree. To the window. Oh, yeah. So. And then we would land in. Nan and Papa would be right there. The biggest smiles and just the smell of them.

[A]

And by the way, we say ah. Because you're hearing us go. Because my grandmother, before she passed, we were like, can you give us signs of hummingbirds?

[B]

And, like, we're talking about her right now. People will ask for. When people go to the other side, like, can you be something? And, you know, some people say butterflies. Hummingbirds. So, Nana, we said hummingbirds. So when I said Tahoe with my grandparents, a hummingbird came to the window.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So we. That was crazy.

[A]

That was special.

[B]

That was very special. And I still, like, will see it. But then to see the smell of them and their. Their faces. And there was just. As a child being in Tahoe, it was like there was no. It's like. It's different. It's not. You have responsibility. You're paying for things. There's a lot. Right? But Nana and Pop up, it was just Nana. Pop Up's Home cooked meals, the cousins there, you had to just be worried about after the lake, taking your shower before you went out and had more fun. It was like just an amazing time. All you had to do was just have fun. And you got to have fun with your cousins and your grandparents. And pop up would go get us powdered sugar donuts in the morning. And remember we drink milk out of those crayon cups. Everything was just so fun. And I just. That's why I love being in Tahoe. Because when I smell Tahoe, it takes me straight back to that point.

[A]

And then what's good to know of that and Esther's parents is you want to bring back where you had no pressure being winning championship games on your travel soccer team, you know, going to whatever it was.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What you missed the most and the one thing you wish you could bring back from your childhood is, is being with cousins and family, home cooked meals and the smell of nature.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's, as parents, what we have to remember.

[B]

I agree.

[A]

I feel like nowadays we overbook our kids every day. We think an after school activity or every day we're like, they need to be in this or that. It has to be really competitive. And I've seen parents firsthand be very hard on their kids because they want them in their head, they're thinking they're going to go pro, they're going to like get a full ride scholarship. But at the end of the day, we just got to let them grow. We just got to let kids be kids. Let them just after school ride their bikes, like, go play outside, make believe. So that's really good you said that. And it's great for all of us listening to remember that.

[B]

And even Nana agreed.

[A]

She did.

[B]

Okay. Brie, I have a curious question for you. Do you think people are born kind or do they learn kindness?

[A]

I think everyone's born kind. Because I just feel like when you look at babies, I've never met an evil baby besides Chucky, but I haven't met Chucky, thank goodness. But it is almost Halloween and. No. So other than that, I mean, I just think, like, innocence is a thing. I think what happens is as people grow, they go through traumas, they go through things that tarnish that kindness, but doesn't mean that they can't be taught kindness again.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I feel like you could go through a period of time where you might be unhappy, you might be bitter, you might be a little mean, or these things debating on what you went through in life or what experiences, but it doesn't mean you can't turn it around. So I think you are born with kindness. I think you can find it again in life if you've lost it. Okay. And a lot of has lost it in the last couple years. So please go find it.

[B]

Holy amen.

[A]

Do you know it's not what you don't know? No, that's what you do know. I just told you.

[B]

All right, what's your next question?

[A]

Well, about the who've lost. I'm just kidding, Bri.

[B]

You can't cuss that much.

[A]

I know, but it's kind of funny. And when people do cuss, they mean business.

[B]

Yeah, but sometimes it makes people skin crawl.

[A]

Well, let me tell you what makes my skin crawl.

[B]

We'd be here all day, girl.

[A]

All freaking day. Where's my other question? Dang.

[B]

What, are you googling it now?

[A]

No. If you could live in a TV show for the rest of your life, which TV show would it be?

[B]

Well, this doesn't really seem like a curious question, but I'm very curious to know if I could live in. I actually.

[A]

I don't even know why, as it's probably going to be murders in the building.

[B]

Absolutely not. I want to be more glamorous and rich than that. Just kidding.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Dynasty.

[B]

Oh, no. Too much drama. I mean, there's definitely, like, that's a one you have to think about. Because definitely there's shows I've watched and I'm like, oh, I would love that. Like, I have to think, you know, that one.

[A]

Like, for me, I would think, like, friends, like, how great. Yeah, they always seem like they were happy, having fun, never alone.

[B]

Then I'm watching those shows with, like, hot ass, like, ranchers and cowboys, and I'm like, I don't know, I might want to go live on a ranch and have those cowboys walk around and fight over me. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like that one show on Netflix, what was it?

[A]

I mean, I don't know.

[B]

Fergie's ex. I was like, damn, I might want to be her. I don't know. And then Ransom, Do I want to be like, yeah, Ransom.

[A]

Can you want to live in Ransom Canyon? I don't know.

[B]

I don't know. They had a lot of branches, a lot of hot ass cowboys. The parties looked fun. Why not? Okay, there you go. But maybe, I don't know, I would maybe want to be the other Paris, because that cowboy.

[A]

Yeah, I know.

[B]

You know what I mean? And she was like artsy and everything was just Cute. And then, like, think he was, like, from a billionaire, right? So I maybe the other Paris. And then he ended up taking her to Paris.

[A]

But you could live in that movie forever.

[B]

All right, there you go. There you go.

[A]

You know, that's not a bad one, actually. I dig that one.

[B]

Isn't that one a good one?

[A]

Yeah. Thank you. Okay.

[B]

I have so many good ones.

[A]

As you all know from our social platforms, that we were just in Paris, France, but Nikki and I wanted to do something really different this trip. We wanted to feel like locals. And I have to say, Nikki, the apartment you picked out, oh, my goodness, it was spectacular.

[B]

I have to say, you couldn't get the views that we got at a hotel unless you were paying outrageous prices. We had incredible views. And I have to say, it kept me with my health and wellness game. But I also got to dive into fun. I had so much comfort. It was like, not only did we get a feel like home in this gorgeous apartment, but we gotta dive into the culture of Paris.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

We get to go home. We get to wake up, make our own coffee, just go out on our patio. Look at this incredible history. It was just the best. I don't think Bri could ever do Paris the same way again. It has to be with Airbnb.

[A]

I think my highlight of my time there is when we went to the farmer's market, the really famous French one. And then I came home and made this delicious dinner with all this fresh produce. I mean, I felt like I was living in a movie.

[B]

It was incredible on for me, who was working out a lot. I have to say, what was incredible was being able to do my laundry and then make coffee, open up the windows and literally have a chair right there and just be staring at one of my favorite parts of Paris right there on the patio.

[A]

I mean, game over. When are we going back? Oh, my gosh. But the best part is, is that sometimes when you're in your travels, especially in Paris, you might spend a lot of money. Which is why I love how you can host on Airbnb. I mean, it's such a smart way to make a little extra income. You can put it towards future travel, home improvement, or that fun splurge item you've been eyeing.

[B]

That's right. I mean, there's nothing greater than hosting your home on Airbnb. And you know what? Finding a little piece of home while you travel always makes a trip super special. Your home could be that for someone else.

[A]

So true. Your home might be worth more than you Think.

[B]

Find out how [e-mail] host this podcast.

[A]

Is brought to you by Kleenex lotion tissues.

[B]

Bre. This time of year, I feel so bad because we travel a lot. I just dread it because I know people are going to be flying with colds, possibly the flu. You never know.

[B]

Okay, I'm curious about this. If money didn't exist, what do you think most people would actually do for work?

[A]

I mean, I feel like if money didn't exist, why wouldn't you want to be something in your community? So, for example, go work at the post office or be the mailman or, you know, anything.

[B]

So people would still have jobs of what makes a community stronger.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Gardeners and ranchers and teachers, librarians, writers.

[A]

Yeah. Where you don't have to worry about going up the ladder knowing that if you worked harder, you can make more money.

[B]

Okay, so can I tell you something like bias? Talking about this, you start to realize how money is the root of all evon. Because if money wasn't involved, people would care about making their community stronger for sure. Right? Just talking about that, that hit me right now.

[A]

Yeah. So I was talking to this driver in Florida and we were chit chatting, and he was like, you know, I'm retired and I got bored at home, and my wife was like, you really need to talk to some, like have friends or talk or get out of the house type of thing. And he was like, oh, my gosh, I should be A driver so I can meet strangers, have good conversations. But when my last ride is done, I walk in my house, I hang up the keys. There's no other business. No one's emailing me. No one's blowing me up. Yeah, I have my schedule. He's like, it has been. It's actually what was just supposed to be fun. I realized it's one of the greatest jobs.

[B]

That's cute.

[A]

I know. I was like, okay.

[B]

I mean, then there'd be, like, an incredible purse maker in the community that would want everyone to look so good.

[A]

Would that be you?

[B]

Yeah, actually.

[A]

Yeah. So I feel like, you know, you would do everything in your community. You wouldn't have to sit in traffic. You'd look like, what's easy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Right, Right.

[B]

Yeah. What's your next.

[A]

I feel like you got inspired off that. Okay. I feel like I know this one, but I'm. I want you to go in detail. If you could travel back in time, where would you go? What would be the setting? What people would be around you?

[B]

Oh, like any era, any time period.

[A]

Go back in time.

[B]

So, yes, I think I would do 1920s Paris. Some. A part of me is like, would I want to do late 1800s to get a little bit more experience? But then, no. You know what I would want to do Pre World War II. So what. What. What time period would that be? Pre.

[A]

Well, when was World War I? Well, I.

[B]

Like, right before World War II hit would be.

[A]

So 20s.

[B]

Right. So World War II started. Oh, 1939. So, yeah, the 1920s would be correct. It just seemed like especially Paris. Right. You had the gorgeous fashion, the champagne was flowing. People just. There's this freedom and spirit to it, and I would just love to go. Go there.

[A]

And then who would you want surrounded by you?

[B]

You know, I think Coco Chanel. I'm just kidding.

[A]

Dior.

[B]

No, but I would love, like, the poets and the artist and. Yeah. Can you imagine? I'm in Paris. Yeah. Bring me the champagne and Picasso sitting there. And I have. What's one of the famous writers? Give me a name.

[A]

I can't even think of. What's his name?

[B]

You know, when you do have famous stuff. Yeah. The fashion designers. How are we blinking? The one who's always at the Ritz.

[A]

Yeah. Hemingway.

[B]

Hemingway.

[A]

Yes. Ernest Hemingway.

[B]

You know, you. You just have all these people, but no one knows how famous or popular really going to be because they're just in the moment, like, just starving artists. But we're all sitting there having champagne, and I'm just dressed to the nines. That would be where I'd go back to.

[A]

There you go. Would sometimes wish, like, I could just go see it. Yeah. Just be a fly on the wall.

[B]

Even if it was for a day, to see how it really felt and all the things.

[A]

Yeah. Because then, you know, somet people are like, no, it smell like the plumbing was.

[B]

That was like, why I'm like, I don't think I'll do late 1800s or even that might have been a little earlier. I'll wait till it got cleaned up.

[A]

In Paris. People were like, disease was bad. Like, you know, they'll give all the negatives. But you're like, but there was also a lot of great things.

[B]

Great things, you know? Of course. Okay, so this one I'm actually curious about. Is jealousy ever healthy?

[A]

I mean, I don't think so, no. You want to know why? Because it's. To me, jealousy is stemmed from, like, already a negative feeling.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So, like, I don't see how this negative can turn into a positive. Yeah. I think it's like that snowball effect. Like, you think, oh, it's just a little thing, but it grows and grows.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so I would say no, and this is my thing. There's a difference between, like, being bothered and being jealous. And I think it's okay. Like, if you're saying, like, oh, someone's hitting on my husband. I think it's okay to be bothered and communicate it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But to be jealous and then, like, giving the evil eyes and then wanting to, like, be mean.

[B]

Yeah, I agree. I think jealousy, you have to take it as an emotion of, like, oh, oh. Because sometimes, like, I think we've all been there. You can't help it. It's not like we're asking to be it. You just become it. So it's like learning how to control me. Like, oh, my gosh. I actually. So I guess I really like this person because I feel bothered right now. Do you know what I mean? And then. And then when you don't feel it at all, you're like, I'm probably not into that person like that anymore.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Because I feel like it's like when you're in love with someone, that's the jealousy part, Right. I know people always say it comes from insecurity in this, but I think it's when you just love someone so passionately, it just comes.

[A]

It just comes.

[B]

Yeah. So. Okay.

[A]

But not for everyone. I mean, I swear Brian doesn't have a jealous bone in his body.

[B]

Oh, that's not true.

[A]

No, he definitely. He just isn't bothered.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Yeah, I. Yeah, but even with, like, I don't know, I think.

[B]

And by the way, I like when they get a little bit like that because then I know how much they're into me. Like, me. I don't want it to go where it makes a relationship toxic, but I want to know a little bit there because I'm like, oh, they love me hard. And that feels good.

[A]

He's done, he. He's done a million other things to show me he loves me. He doesn't have to show me he's jealous.

[B]

I. Well, okay, girl took that wrong to.

[A]

Someone who's been married 11 years.

[B]

But we're talking about jealousy right now. We're talking about all the other things.

[A]

Because obviously I get what you're saying.

[B]

Yes, thanks.

[A]

But I disagree.

[B]

Move on to your next curious question.

[A]

So my next curious question. I'm asking for a friend. Do you think long distance relationships really work? Asking for a friend, Are you trying.

[B]

To point this at me? Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Not forever, but like, why not forever?

[A]

Like, what do you mean forever?

[B]

Well, meaning, like if the relationship's going to be for someone's rest of their life. Yeah, technically, I don't think. But I do think some relationships do work long term, especially nowadays, especially women. More and more women becoming CEOs, running companies, starting businesses, being moms and career women, divorcees having this. I feel like especially for women, why it works is they need a little bit of that love and attention and then they're like, I'm busy, I gotta do my.

[A]

But do you think it honestly depends on the person.

[B]

Yeah. And where they're at in life.

[A]

Right. But do you think that's the part where we get disconnected from human, like that really connection?

[B]

I just think it's how the world is now. So when we see like the plus and minuses actually, with what we have in the world, FaceTime and all the other things, it actually makes long distance relationships work. If I had to get a pen and pad out every time I had a feeling about someone and had to go put it in the mailbox, I don't know how they did back in the day, but they did because they had morals, really strong morals. But nowadays, if you were to. We were to do that, we can send a text or a FaceTime then. Oh, yeah, yeah. You see someone enough and if you're good, if they're fine. You know what I mean?

[A]

I saw this show and the guy came home after war and he walks in and like, his, you know, his girl that he loved, he thought about every day on those battlefields. She was like, engaged to, like, the rich guy in town. And she was like, I thought you were dead. She's like, I waited three years. And I was like, booze, right?

[B]

She didn't wrote, damn, I would suck for him.

[A]

I thought about that, like, back in that day.

[B]

Oh, I know.

[A]

But you think putting the energy into long distance relationships. 100. Even if it's not forever.

[B]

Yes. And if it works for you.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

It's on.

[A]

Who?

[B]

If it works for you. 100. And it would work for me. You're such a.

[A]

Nikki. Life can get really busy.

[B]

Really busy. I mean, I would say it's been busy for all of us.

[A]

I know.

[B]

And sometimes we just need to take.

[A]

A breather, sit down and ask ourselves one very important question.

[B]

What's that?

[A]

Brie.

[B]

Have you had your Hershey's? I sure have had my Hershey's Brie. And you know what? When you need to brighten up your day or even put a smile on your face, grab the classic creamy texture and pure milk chocolate flavor of Hershey's milk chocolate.

[A]

Whether you're eating it on the go, breaking off a few pieces for s'.

[B]

Mores night, or treating yourself to something.

[A]

Sweet, Hershey's milk chocolate checks all the boxes.

[B]

It sure does. You want to know what one of my favorite moments with Hershey's chocolate is? Teo. And I like. I love it because you know me, I'm chocolate lover. But now I have a son who's a chocolate lover. So we split bars all the time. It's just such a moment for us, a very happy moment. We look at each other. He always ends up getting chocolate all over his face. But it's just such a sweet moment that I find myself always reaching for her Hershey bar.

[A]

Always. I mean, we love making s' mores in my family. So every time I bust out a Hershey bar, my kids start screaming with excitement because they know it's about to.

[B]

Be s' more time. So for all of you, shop for.

[A]

Hershey's milk chocolate now at a store.

[B]

Near you found wherever candy is sold.

[B]

Question.

[A]

Yeah, I get it.

[B]

What's more powerful, intuition or logic?

[A]

Intuition.

[B]

I knew you're gonna say that, actually.

[A]

Because the facts are the facts. I get it. And I'm married to someone who's very logical. But I feel like intuition will always lead you in your right path.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And in your right way. And if I listened to people who told me, do not go to Tampa and become a pro wrestler. Do not be a Hooters girl. Do not. Do not. Do not. Because to them, it did not seem logical.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I would not be where I'm at today.

[B]

100. I do think logic interferes with an intuition.

[A]

100.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like I was actually blessed to not be book smart, to be street smart. I feel like I am where I'm at, and I'm living a very happy, fun life because of it.

[B]

But what I think can happen to us at times, logically, is we're such hustlers because we're like, shoot, this could be the last gig. And we don't open ourselves up to know I know something might come in. So we're like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

[A]

I feel like I've been better about that.

[B]

Better. But we were talking about that on our power walk today at times.

[A]

But I feel like we've been better. But still. You're right. Soul mentality. You're right. Is there. But that's still with someone who's in their 40s who thinks they can be the next CEO by 50.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And maybe just be happy being. I don't know.

[B]

The video game bad. You need the logic. But. Right.

[A]

But you have to.

[B]

Which one is more powerful? For sure.

[A]

I definitely do.

[B]

Okay. Is it one more each?

[A]

One more each.

[B]

Are you proud that I haven't asked anything sexual or dating or anything?

[A]

I'm actually surprised. So I'm curious. What is one experience in your life that. What is one experience you've had in your life that you felt has changed the course of your life?

[B]

Which one? I've had a few courses. I've. I've been here. Went there, and then I came back over here and. No, I'm just kidding. Honestly. It would be signing my WWE contract. It was. I think I was in a place of, like, kind of being lost and then starting to find my way again on the soccer field. And then WWE came in, and it gave me a sense of like, oh, this is career. And just gave me. I mean, you and I were already responsible, but it gave you that sense of, like, growing up In a way. Do you know what I mean? Like, now I have to look at a contract and I have to sign it. And this is me now building a career fight for something that was very life changing. And to leave the west coast for the east coast, you know, have only gone there for soccer tournaments. So to move to a place. So it was just crazy. So it definitely would be Simon WDE contract?

[A]

Yeah, I think so. I mean, I. Yeah. I mean, it's yours.

[B]

2007. It's kind of crazy when you think about it, because we're Almost to being 20, 26. Sounds. Life goes fast. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna end with this. What's something we glamorize that actually isn't that great?

[A]

Makeup.

[B]

What?

[A]

That. You mean like, like any.

[B]

Like anything we like. I don't know, pop stars, big houses. I don't know, anything.

[A]

All of it. Everything.

[B]

Or it could be.

[A]

I. I mean, I feel like Ivy League schools. I don't know.

[B]

Something. What do we glamorize that?

[A]

I mean, you're crazy.

[B]

I know you would say makeup.

[A]

I was thinking about that. I think we glamorized the whole. There's an a. There's a whole. Like I have one blueprint. So you want to ask. Ask the question and give the answer.

[B]

Yeah. Well, because something popped into my head.

[A]

I feel like the whole blueprint on how life's supposed to be laid out like so key.

[B]

Like the Joneses.

[A]

Well, and it's like the school. Like school.

[B]

The American dream.

[A]

Work. Yeah. Then you graduate. The college, the marriage, the. All of it. The job. I feel like we should have more of like. No, like none of it. Let people just be free and go and what they feel.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's what we should be taught.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And we should not be in school eight hours and then have two hours of homework.

[B]

That's.

[A]

I mean, somebody please tell me how that makes sense.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So. Yeah, I guess too much. Okay.

[B]

I think for me it'd be diets. Yeah, for sure. We glamorize diets and all these things and eat healthy and every person's different. What I like is like, obviously with hone health, we are talking about hormones and like stuff that actually happens in a body when either women have babies or as women get older and we are making it better. But we glamorize diets. Like do this and you're going to be this and do this. The thing that I've learned on this journey is you got to know your body because we are all different for sure. When it comes to how we store fat, how we burn our metabolisms, do we have high blood pressure, how's our cholesterol, where do we live, how's the weather, what's around us? So we glamorize so much diets and it's like, figure out what's good for you and do that right and then just make sure everything else is working right. Because that's like, like today when we were training and our trainer Kyle said, you can't get bad diets in shape. People can train as hard as they want and if their diet, if they're not eating well or right for them, they're just not going to get in the shape they want to get, right?

[A]

No.

[B]

And then on top of that, you know when you had the one mom ask me, like, how are you? Like, how are you looking so toned? I'm working out so hard and I'm not getting building muscle. When I tell her, go get tested with hone, they will tell you exactly what you're missing. And I go, because we need help at a certain age, that's just that, that's normal. But we glamorized diets and like, I did them all. I bought every different type. I went before I got here.

[A]

You tried to get me to buy a hat to help my hair grow.

[B]

Okay, well, that's different. We're talking about red light therapy. And that works. That works. I am talking, I'm not talking biohacking, I am talking straight up diets. Like, but biohacking, when someone brought. Okay, but like, there's a lot you can't. Red light therapy is like I the number one of everything.

McCormack knows unbeatable flavor starts with the right spices. It's why we created flavour sealed. So anytime you peel back the seal of McCormick herbs and spices, you can be confident they will pack the same amount of flavor as the day they were packed. The kind of flavor that brings out the best of your favorite recipes and keeps everyone coming back for seconds or maybe even thirds. McCormick flavor sealed for unbeatable flavor. You went, remember when you did the chocolate diet? Someone told you to just eat chocolate?

[A]

No, someone told me to do that, but I never actually did. But I think you had to buy their chocolate. Yeah, no, the cookie diet. It was cookie. And I'm like, okay, put a bunch of, like, bad nutrients in your body, and there. I think it was calorie counting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, when you get older, you get wiser.

[B]

You do. And you're like.

[A]

And.

[B]

And don't get me wrong, it. Sometimes in a moment, you. You're like, you look good. But what I've learned now is, yeah, you shocked your metabolism. So it's like, all right, well, here we go. And then it doesn work.

[A]

And you know what's crazy? What is that woman in Vegas. I mean, she got in a lot of trouble. I think she went to jail. But she had the cupcake diet and she was lying. So she was telling people they could eat these cupcakes and who's, like, going to be like, I'm doing the cupcake diet. And people were gaining weight, but she didn't give a. She put all the butter, sugar, everything you can imagine in there.

[B]

She didn't care because she knew we were glamorizing it. And they. It's not true.

[A]

But isn't it crazy how words can get you like. And they can.

[B]

Marketing. False marketing gets me all the time. Those Instagram ads when I can't sleep at 3am and they're going to tell me all my wrinkles are going to go away. I'll buy it. I've told myself, no more. You're.

[A]

You know what?

[B]

I am thinking about life. Don't go on Instagram and fall for the ads.

[A]

I. I got that app, the no ad app. Like block ads.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah. I saw an advertisement.

[B]

I don't mind because I will say there's some things that I've learned great on ads. And there are. Listen. There's some great products out there and you got to market them. But I've been a really big. Very big on reading reviews now.

[A]

Oh, I read all reviews.

[B]

I need read so many reviews. And I will research things like no other.

[A]

And when there's a grumpy review, I really look at it and I'm like.

[B]

All right, yeah, Was it. It was not a good day or. Yeah, yeah, you could tell it wouldn't tell you when it's service. Or they. Yeah, grumpy. But. But yeah, there's some things that are amazing. Like this. Once I've used this elixir a little more, I will Share with people about periods. But, you know, but that's the thing.

[A]

There's just too much. Too much. I had to get over it all.

[B]

Well, no, I already said in my. My things. I already have my groups of people that I trust. I got hone. I have higher dose. I have a few others and I'm good. Trust them, believe in them. They're not going to do me wrong. I don't need anyone else in this. I'm good. I feel good, looking good. That's all it matters.

[A]

And you do look good.

[B]

Well, thanks, girl.

[A]

I say we do a little inspiration and affirmation.

[B]

It's time for today's inspiration and affirmation brought to you by kleenex. With kleenex, lotion, tissues, you're always ready to face life's emotional moments, the happy ones, the hard ones, and everything in between. So the quote today is, find the place where every single thing tells you to stay. Seeker.

[A]

I love that. I mean, if you think about it, when we moved in 2020 to Napa.

[B]

Valley, everything there told us to stay. Yeah, I feel like so much of.

[A]

My life, I felt unstable.

[B]

I always was dreaming about moving somewhere.

[A]

I'm like, why did I never feel like When I was in Arizona, even.

[B]

Places in southern California, I'm like, why.

[A]

Did I never feel like I was meant to be here? Or why was I constantly looking elsewhere when I moved to Napa Valley?

[B]

So many things, and they still are.

[A]

Telling me to this day tell me to stay. I found my tribe.

[B]

I've literally found the type of weather I love, the community, everything the world is made up of. So much energy. This is a thing we know. Whether it's spiritual for you or science, this is what it is. And when you trust your gut and your intuition, your surroundings will tell you where you need to be. Whether that's you're on a vacation or you keep thinking about a place or you're drawn to a place, you're drawn to it for a reason. It's calling you. So be aware of that. And that's what I love about this quote, because it's. Your surroundings are telling you where you need to be. And you. What you said is the perfect example. We would always go vacation up a valley. But it felt like so much more than vacation, for sure. Everything around us was telling us to stay. And now that we've chosen to stay there, it's been one of the greatest decisions we've ever made. Yeah. So this past weekend, Brian and I.

[A]

Were laughing, actually, with a lot of the Cousins.

[B]

Because we were all saying like the pros and cons list we all made dating, that made us all official. And here we've all been married, married.

[A]

Like over a decade, all the couples sitting there, but you're almost making that.

[B]

List when you're dating.

[A]

All the reasons to stay, like committed.

[B]

Stay, stay, stay.

[A]

And so journaling, writing the list is important.

[B]

Yeah. Like I need. I need to know the reasons to stay. And look, I did it with Brian. Brian did it with me. Like he said 10 months before I actually did mine.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Yeah, we were. I would love to see your pros and cons list. I know. All right, well, that was today's inspiration and affirmation made possible by Kleenex lotion tissues for whatever happens next. Grab Kleenex.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Embody's a really good word. Embody it. Which means I'm going to use more of that. More of embody it in my affirmations.

[A]

And listen to your intuition because I think then you really embody who you are.

[B]

Yeah, for sure. That's right.

[A]

And you'll know your words.

[B]

I am a badass. Yeah.

[A]

That's why I don't have a lot of people in my space.

[B]

Badass mom.

[A]

Because I can tell you don't know me by the way, I know you.

[B]

Don'T have a lot of people in your space.

[A]

The only thing I have to say.

[B]

I'd be like super grateful to be embraced space because I feel like it. Hell yeah. But I do also feel like I'm here to like humble her.

[A]

In which ways I'm so humble.

[B]

Well, I don't mean like you're beautiful in those type of ways, but just to like keep her calm and like, people could be here. Brie, it's okay to like, this is.

[A]

The only thing I got to prove is to a five year old and eight year old and that's it. Yeah.

[B]

And they tell you the damn truth. Damn. Every day I'm like, I know buddy thinks I'm smarter. I'll never let that down. But I have a little boy that looks at me and his eyes light up and he gives me those sparkle in his eyes and he thinks I'm just the greatest thing in the world. And it makes sense. Makes my heart flutter.

[A]

Right?

[B]

Oh, it's the greatest feeling. My like demanding cuddle time and kisses and I just need you to hold me. Or. I mean, there's nothing greater in life. It is going to crush my heart when that all goes away. Or when I see him holding his girlfriend's Hand. When he's older, I'm going to be like, Sabrina. We talked about that one time about jealousy. Good or not healthy?

[A]

No.

[B]

You want to make sure. I want my son to have love. It just better be. She better be good to him.

[A]

It was cute because Buddy was, like, sound asleep, so I started to edge out of the bed, and then he was like, oh, no, no, no, not yet, not yet. And then squeezed me in tight, and.

[B]

I was just like, oh, my gosh, it's the greatest.

[A]

I'm like, I could be here forever.

[B]

Oh, it is like. So I didn't have Mateo last night. He was at his dad's, and I slept nine hours straight without interruption. Felt really great this morning. I don't get that with Mateo because he moves around a lot. I get kicked in the face and all that. But then I'll just, like, look at his face, sleeping so hard. And I just know it doesn't last forever, so I don't care. And it's just the sweetest thing. Yeah.

[A]

Well. And you know, Birdie had a nightmare last night, so I kind. I woke up, but she, of course, goes back to sleep, and it took me, like, a little bit, so I didn't sleep the greatest. And she also whacked me in the face.

[B]

And then Winston hit in the face.

[A]

I never. With Buddy. Buddy sleeps still. Birdie is my one. She'll move around. Birdie whacked me in the face. I was like, damn it. Winston just starts to walk up me, and I'm like, what the. Like, you know, I'm just like, come on, everyone. Can I just sleep? But.

[B]

Well, because I did see a thing where women. It is so important for women to get eight hours of sleep a night, not five, because you know how a lot of us are like, okay, well, I got five solid because of heart disease. Wow. That women who sleep less than 8 hours consistently are more prone to heart disease.

[A]

That's scary.

[B]

Very.

[A]

But what I was gonna say, I.

[B]

Had to tell Mom.

[A]

I'm like, mom? Dude, she needs to.

[B]

Yeah, but, like, how? Pop up died.

[A]

Yeah. Wow.

[B]

Yeah. I called Mom. Well, I was like, mom, we need to focus on this. So I got that red light therapy blanket to my pen pad.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. So cute. But what I was going to say is I looked over at Birdie, though, even though she whacked me in the face and went to walk out me. And how her curls were around her face and how she was sleeping, she looked exactly how she looked when she.

[B]

Was a toddler when she gave me a hug yesterday and looked up at me. I just was like, whoa, this reminds me when you were a toddler.

[A]

Isn't it weird how, like, there's certain, like, like, looks of their face and you're like, well, that's your baby.

[B]

When Mateo lets me hold him and, like, put his head down, he. It just. I look at. I can imagine the baby facing him.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

By the way, remember when I told you about how when we. Because we just had parent teacher conference and about the babysitter there, so we were driving to school yesterday, he goes, so are the babies going to be next door? Because I want to go see them. And I'm like, what do you mean babies? He goes, well, you said the babysitters are there. So when we walked into school, he goes, miss Alexia, I'd like to go look at the babies next door.

[A]

That's really funny.

[B]

Remember when we talk how literal they are? Oh, yeah. So to him, like, why would a babysitter be for someone my age?

[A]

I mean. Good point. Kid has a point.

[B]

Kid has a point.

[A]

All right, everyone, we hope you have a great weekend. And you can see videos of today's episode on our YouTube page. And I all our social platforms. So the Nikki and Bri show, ig, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, and you can always call us at our hotline at 833 Garcia, too.
