And she was just expressing her fear, and I was just telling her that the best thing to do is to be informed and to know what your rights are as a human being, as a person, as a human from I mean, I always say this, this land does not belong to anyone. It belongs to all of us, you know. So I was just telling her and and sending her love and light and and a hug, and telling her that if she needs anything that she can

definitely reach out to us. And I'm willing to help to send food to her home or whatever it is that I can help with. It's the least I can do, guys. And and also if you guys want more information on the podcast Instagram, there is a post pin that has information about your rights, So you guys can go ahead and check that out and speak to a lawyer so that you know what your rights are and you feel a little bit more confident in that it's very important. Okay, guys.

Next question comes from Mariatro.

Speaker 1

Bend him Maria Curvy power grdita power entre MASc so. Maria is telling me, guys that she's very proud of me for the weight that I've lost and that she is a curvy woman and wants to know not exactly how I lost weight. But what I did when I was heavier to feel better, because she says that she feels depressed a lot, and she just wants to feel better and feel good in her own skin. So I'm

gonna answer, and then I'll come back to you. Per Maria jo guando est josentia masa the lomonas no and pa ya know yaura porge la piels flacida yes kmotra in segura and ten ideas and the er por tantas cosas no las hormoness mascenda portmos p the vers de serta manera tolke mimos and so manera is as much a person and tiendo pero joe simprementido la persona so and my corrasson and mimente ma dado ajor porf okay you know cor masquerpo pero josec and so como and

So I told her a lot

of things. I told know a lot of things, but basically, Hanna na Shell, I was just telling her that giving yourself positive affirmations and it might sound silly to some people, but it really does help, and it helps at least to say something positive out loud than something negative, because saying something negative is going to bring more darkness to you.

So I'd rather be look like, Okay, you know, she's just this positive, little hippie person, you know, So say something beautiful to yourself, and not only that, but choose to say I want to love myself enough to feed my body and move my body and sweat and release toxins and feed my body so that it functions better in every way, so that I feel better, so that

I have more clarity. I'm focusing more on the inner work, on your heart and knowing who you are and working on that so you radiate confidence and beauty on the outside. Because yes, there's always going to be more beautiful women or more fit women and this and that, and if we focus on that, we're not focusing on ourselves. And the work is inner. It's inner work in order to radiate differently on the outside. I told her so many things. I don't even remember. I was just setting my heart speak,

but that's what I told her, you know. So Maria is perke chik is Okay, it's the animal animal. Okay, guys, we have one last question from an anonymous listener.

Speaker 4

Hi, chikies, you can answer this question in English, and I'll just say it in Spanish because I feel more comfortable sitting in Spanish. OPI colla persona, conna esta microstal and distance even torment i s o aligin q los pas no prevan la paja peroson wells.

Speaker 1

Gon hmm, we went listeners is de primero. So this s anonymous listener is asking about the relationship I was in when my mom was here, like the last year of her life, and then after she passed, and if I felt obligated in some way to stay in that relationship, and if I could give her some advice on what I think regarding parents not approving of a significant other. So that's a pretty heavy question. I talked about this

in my book Forgiveness. I thought it was very important to to express this because I did get a lot of backlash because my mother and you know this ex boyfriend actually ex fiance, we were engaged. They had a very public argument. It got very nasty, and he said some very not nice things in my defense because he was trying to defend me. He was very upset with how my mom was handling certain things at that time,

and at that time I felt very alone. I felt like everyone had turned their back on me, and what was being said was not only not true, but ridiculous in my eyes. And I just couldn't believe that my mom would even for a second think that I would do something like that. So I was upset. I went through so many different emotions, and so he was my partner at that time, and he heard me cry, and he saw me cry, and he saw how depressed I was, so he was upset. He said some very not nice

things to my mom publicly. He was drunk. That's not an excuse, and I don't excuse what he said, but in that moment, I felt like, Wow, at least someone's defending me, someone's on my side, and someone's standing up to her in a way. So anyway, that's a whole that's a whole other story. But I will say that even despite that, and I did feel after, I think because I had stayed with him and then my mom passed away. And I don't know if I ever said

this in my book. I don't remember, but him and I were actually fighting when my mom passed away, and we started talking again because my mom passed away and he was there for me, not physically because he wasn't really allowed around my family and I had to be there for my siblings. But he was there for me, and I did feel in some way like, Wow, he was there for me when no one else was. I'm going to try to make this relationship work. And people didn't like that, and people I got a lot of backlash,

and I get it. I totally understand that. But I can say confidently now that no matter what, even if I don't agree with certain things my mom did and how she handled things, I think she was right when she said, I don't want this type of man for you. You know, he has five children. I don't want you to have baby mama drama. And I did have baby mama drama. Now his ex and I are super good friends. She's my homie. We go to dinner and stuff. I love his kids. His kids are still like I talk

to them, I see them once in a while. They're great. But at that time it was very sticky, and so now I could say, yeah, my mom, she was right. And parents have this special gift of feeling things. They're your parents, they had you, you know, and if they tell you, hey, I don't know about this person's doesn't feel right. I would definitely listen. I'd be like, Okay, that's a red flag for me. I'm just going to keep it there now. If you were to ask me,

i'd probably say, Mom, you know what, there's something here. Okay, I'm probably going to try to detangle myself from the situation as best as I can. Although we are humans and we need to go through our process and learn, I've always been very nest ya. I've always had to learn the hard way. I've been hard headed. I don't want to be anymore, but I was for a long time,

and you grow out of that with time. So to my anonymous listener, I definitely would say that if your parent does it, like your significant other, there's a reason. There has to be something there. I can't obviously pinpoint it because I don't know the situation, but it is something that I would consider and take it either as a red flag or a yellow flag something as a warning to say, Okay, let me just have a little

bit of a guard up. Because parents, most of the time, I want to say at least ninety five percent of the time, are usually right, especially our mothers. They have this special bond with us, So I would definitely listen to that in some way. That doesn't mean you have to make a decision right now, but just have that in the back of your mind and save it, you know, because I definitely every time my mom said something about a friend, most of the time she was right. So

that's just my experience. But thank you so much for your question. Thank you all for your question. I love you guys, and trust me, this has been so heavy on me. The raids and how this is being handled, how this administration is handling things. I don't agree with it. I think it's very inhumane. I think it's incompassionate. I think it's not bringing anything good to the world. It's

actually bringing a lot of tension. But this is where our power comes in and our prayers and coming together because unity is power and there's a lot of strength in that. So just remember that and be kind in the world. Please just radiate your light and be kind and don't be the one to add more fuel to the fire. And if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. That's just my personal opinion,

But thank you guys. This is a safe place for you guys to always ask me whatever you want to ask me. I will always give you the best advice I can possibly give you. I love you, guys, I appreciate you and thank you for your question.
