Megan and Liz (they're back!)

So get excited. Here are Megan and Liz. Okay, hi, lady, Hello, I'm here with my two most favorite twins in the world and our my favorite sort of shot together. Yes, Lizard Thickett, Greenhills, and come over here real fast and really fast. Come on, we have to have the kid and the owner make a quick cameo. Yes, she's the Wald this is and Stanford Stamford, Yes, Staniford. Okay, she has the cue. Plis ever we're dressed in Lizard Thickett. We love it in the Green Hills location. So all

y'all listening, get your booties over here and see Anne. Yes, tell if we sent you and you get how much person off if you come to out Anne that Megan, Liz and Caroline sent you twenty percent off in the Greenhealth Lizard Thicket sounds good to me. Christmas coming on? We love it. Okay, so we're knocking ourselves out, So guys talk to me. I already interviewed a once and it was the best interview because you two are the

most positive people that ever existed. We were actually talking about that earlier, saying like, oh, I feel like my juju is office a little bit, because if you don't keep up the positive thinking, it really can send you down a negative. Yeah, it's to tell me what's going on? Like why are we stressed it out? Because there's not

anything big happening. And y'all was like, oh, these days your life as a one and the twins, everything that happens to one happens to both, right, Yes, yes, I mean it's just I feel like I woke up the other day and like I was, I was like posting about like the Sunday scar Ese, yes, explaining because it's just like starting the new week. Yeah, It's just like and I feel like And a lot of people actually replied to it and they were like, oh my gosh,

Like I totally relate to this. It's like it's almost like when you have a week full of stuff that even if it's great, it's just like you're expecting it to go one way. You're like, oh my gosh, how is going to happen? Like for some reason about anything positive happens, like most people's brains, I feel like, tend to think of the worst possible thing that could happen in the positive and like that because we're scared to lose it. Maybe it's like this is so great now

to freak out that I lose it. Actually read and like The Secret or one of those books that a lot of people who have who build really huge empires also lose them because when you have nothing to lose, it's easy to build something. But then once you get it, you're like, oh my gosh, I got it, and then you're so scared to lose it that you lose it off because you start thinking about losing it. Yeah, do you think that's how that could happen? Yeah, oh yeah definitely.

But then I also like I read something like it wasn't a Secret, but it was something like that. But like it was a quote that was like people dress rehearse tragedy. Yeah, break that down. So basically it just I mean I shared that with Like Basically, it's just like you play up like, oh well if I lose this, and you know it won't be that hard because I've already thought about it. You try and like soften the blow for yourself, but that doesn't work. It doesn't never happen.

It never happens. And then when something bad actually does happen, you never saw it coming, yeah, and you didn't have time to d us rehearse it. So it's like it's it's a waste of time because the things that you think about are actually never the things that are going to happen. It's going because it's all make belief, So you're just making something up. Really like you said, yes, it's gonna be something totally different that you couldn't even expect.

So why waste your time thanking negative thoughts? Exactly? Why? Okay, we just solved everyone's problems. So this whole series, this influencer series, I started because I've gotten to fall into this incredible group of girls with you guys, and there's like I don't know, Tim Humming out there, like Tim people that we talked to on a regular basis. But people are always coming in and out and it's this awesome group of influencers and everybody wants to know what

an influencer is. So basically, what is an influencer to you guys? And how do you do this? And what is some like how do you get started as an influencer? I feel like I feel like everybody's definition of an influencer is a little bit different, depending on like what

you feel like your strengths are. Because for us, I feel like the way we influence our audience is through music, but also through positivity and positive body image and you know, just just being the best version of yourself and just just that, you know, being yourself. And I think that that's what I think, that's what people latch onto I do, I really do. I think people like to see people

being themselves. And also like I feel like every influencer has something that like is totally their own, you know, Like that's like there are so many beautiful women in this world and they all like should get like a million lives on Instagram. But like the difference is like like we have our music, you know what I mean, Like that's something that we're so passionate about and we're like, you know, we're we pour ourselves into and then that's why people they want to see a succeed in the music.

And then it's like, you know, like other ladies in the group have like there they talk about their kids and like their kids lives and like how that, and so they want to see their kids succeed. They want to see their you know all of that. So it's like we all have our different things, and I feel like that's really a little areas. Yeah, how do you guys like to get your product out there? Not product? What would it be like your post out there? Do you like to do through Instagram? Do you like to

do through YouTube? Are you bloggers? How do you like or is it all of it? How do you all like to Is it through your music? How do people get your stuff? Like? How do you reach people the most? I feel like it's like a little bit of everything. It kind of depends on what the content I'm putting out is. Like if it's like a music video, obviously it'll live on YouTube. But if I could feel like pouring my heart and soul out in a blog about you know, a terrible week I had and how I

grew from it. I'm going to type out a blog post and put it on our website. So it's like it just really depends on what's going on in our lives. I feel like if everything attached to your website, can you get to everyone from your website? So that's just Megan and lives dot com and that can take you to YouTube, that can take you to your music. So this is where you go for everything, y'all. Yeah? Yeah, basically, I mean it's just links to everything all of our socials.

You can get there, and we have like content that lives there, like the blogs. So so my question is if you are talking to like new girls or new people who are wanting to get into what would your first steps be, Like what would you say, definitely do if you want to get into an influencer world and definitely do not do. I actually had a conversation with somebody like rolling the phone. Yeah it was a guy, which like interesting enough, Like but I mean, yeah, guys

could be a Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying the same advice applies. But like when I was like talking to him like I. At first, I was like I don't know what to tell him, Like I don't know what, I don't know what to do. But as I was talking to I was like, you know what, Actually, um, the biggest thing that he thought was really helpful was asking And actually that's so Like there's another influencer named

Alexis type Miller. Do you know who that is? So she's awesome to yeah, she's literally, but she is the one Alexis type Miller type Miller. So literally she's run the laptop lifestyle. It's really awesome. But it was so she literally told me one time we were sitting in a coffee and she's like, yeah, no, I just asked,

like I can't be afraid. Like if you if you want to work with a brand, even if you have no following, you and you DM them and say hey, listen, like I can style your product really great and I can get you a great photo, then like nine times out of ten like a brand and we like why not? So how do you ask? Like, say you want to phrase it, say you don't have a lot of followers, but you want to do something that how would you

put that in a DM? Like what would you say exactly, you just kind of say what you can offer, you know, you say, hey, like you don't say I just want to work together. You say I can offer you because

you need to offer them something. What are the things like I can offer you a great like that even a great exchange for I mean, obviously in the beginning, like it's just free product, but like that's what's going to help you build and if they like the picture that you took, they're going to repost it and help you get your followers. Oh so instead of just saying like, let's yeah, that's a great way to partner because you're offering a picture and they need that for their digital stuff.

So it's actually one win sometimes to go pay for that and higher models you're doing. Okay, So that's just be asking and not being too scared to ask. Yeah, And I mean, and that's been a huge thing for us that in the past year, I feel like his we've we've stopped being afraid to ask because the worst thing they can say is no or they won't answer, right who cares? And then you're in the same spot

that you were, So it's like who cares? And the best thing that can say is yes, and they're out a way to work together exactly, and then that leads to like other opportunities, you know, like maybe this time you got a product, but next time they say, oh great, they get it. They gave us a great you know, exchange, and their base is grown since then, like we can pay them, they pay the next time. Yeah. Yeah, So just ask after everybody and everything brands, you won't be afraid.

Don't be afraid to just literally slide into their d M s and be like, hey, that is so true, especially with this digital world. I feel like social media is a new way of advertisement. It totally is. Yeah, people believe what everybody is posting about because it's genuine and it's dan. I learned about stuff from me yea.

I look on people's like stories and I'm like, oh man, I want to try that more songs even when people past those songs, Like if three people post the same song, I'm gonna go listen to it because oh it must be good. So what not to do when you are starting and you want to become an influencer? What are like your top no nos? A lot of the girls are saying, do not buy followers. I didn't even know that.

Don't buy followers. I mean, friends do know when like they can tell because you're like ratio, it was just like completely off and then you you'll get like no comments and then that just that just is a bad path to go. So don't buy. Don't buy followers. But I would say the thing I've learned would probably be, don't like if you admire other influencers, admire them, but

don't copy them. Don't copy them because nobody's going to follow you if you're like the other version of so and so, people are going to follow you because you're the best version of you, and you have to find your individuality and your originality and what makes you an influencer. I totally agree with that, because why just be a repeat of something else? Yeah, totally. And also i'd say,

don't be too glossy. What does that mean? I don't know, Like I feel like like you can be glossy on your post, but just glassy just like you know, everything perfectly propped and staged and you know, but keep it real in your Instagram stories at least you have to keep it real somewhere because that's what the audience relates to. Totally, they want to see you sitting, you know, on your bed with a face mask on, drinking wine before you go to bed, talking about like something stupid that happened.

We're talking about even like a breakout what you're doing, just so that you're really human exactly, that's what they relate to. They don't want to relate to the perfect, especially if you don't have a lot of followers, because then it's just like it's like, who do you think you are? You know, like you're like you are human like everybody everybody else, Just like you're not like a perfect glossy like model, like you know what I mean.

It's like you don't have any followers yet, so keep it in proportion with where you are too, Yeah, I think so. Yeah, Like if you all of a sudden get like a million followers like you guys do on YouTube, you'll have freaking a million YouTube followers. Then that way, like me, you're probably gonna do a little more editing than you would if you have like I don't know,

I mean, well, you're still keeping it real. Yeah, we just all we did really is we kind of just stepped up our equipment game and our lighting because you're like, oh, we coming, we've got a million people watching now, so we kind of got Yeah, we need to feel lighting a little better. But that intimidating knowing there's a million eyeballs, has two million eyeballs because everyone has to I'm not just a hat rack? Is that that was pretty good? Right?

Is it intimidating knowing that there's all those eyeballs watching you. We're so used to it. Yeah, And I feel like not all two million of the eyeballs were going to click on everything you post, so and also too, not all of the two million eyeballs might be subscribed to you. A lot of them come from somebody else posting or Facebook or something. So it's like, I don't read the comments anymore. I just don't because nobody, like I know who I am, I know who we are. You don't

have anything offered to me. So, yeah, if you're gonna if you're gonna be negative, and if someone's gonna really want to reach out to you and work with you, they're going to email you, and that's you have an outlet for that. Yeah, it's not all that negative. Not that y'all get much negative, I'm sure, but people do like to hate. I remember the first time I ever got like a negative email a direct message from someone, I was so hurt by it. It sticks in your brain.

And then if you start second guessing yourself and then you just like you said, you can't. You know who you are, you know that your heart is good, and you're trying to put don't they don't as much as like you share on your socials, Like at the end of the day, like it's your they don't know you personally. They don't know who you are when you're not on your phone, you know, and and that's and you just

got to keep you know, knowing who that is. And they don't know like what was going on that day I have attributed to why you posted something or like the way you reacted to something. It's like all you can do is just be as honest as you can on the internet and hope that people see that. It's

a whole new world. Like y'all's generation especially and younger, they're never going to have grown up without a social media, which, though it is crazy, that like kind of terrifies me a little bit, just because I feel like a lot of kids I'm seeing nowadays they're like missing out on being kids almost like having likes, are getting out. Yeah. Yeah. I was talking to somebody recently who said that, like it was like it was like somebody in there, oh,

somebody in their college. Yeah you know who. It was, somebody her sisters in college, like a freshman in college. And she said that girls were literally not paying attention to their classes and not like just they didn't care because they're like whatever, I'm just gonna be an influencer. Yeah. Like people are actually saying that, like girls who are like eighteen nineteen are actually like throwing away their whole lives because they think they're just going to be a

pretty face on Instagram. And it's just like, oh my gosh, But tell me a little bit more on that being

an influencer. And this is I interviewed actually housed in actually Wilson yesterday, and they were saying, there's so much more work to being an influencer than this being a pretty face, because tell me all the things that you have to do to run your brand that actually make because like people see you guys posting like, oh my gosh, they have the life, and you'll do have an incredible life, but like it's not that you're not working, So what does it take to influencer? Like what are you guys

doing to keep your brand running? I mean, well, we definitely you always have to have something other than just your looks fueling your brand, because you need to have something like a block, a musical outline, its substance like yes something, or be just a great clothes like the stylist don't have a great outfit style. Yeah, but like on a day a basis, it's like you can go from you know, going back and forth sending edits like two or three edits with the brand all day. Like

you have to learn, you know, final cut pro. You have to learn, you know, how to edit your own pictures in afterlight like there are so you have to like be really good with brands and be really on top of it. And like no brand is the same, so like every person you work with is going to have different preferences in different whatever and you have to be flexible. You have to be nice otherwise they're not going to work with you again, like which which that

sounds weird, Like you have to be nice. But like sometimes like we've worked with some brands that you're just like I literally just want to say, like forget this whole thing, and you're being so dramatic, but you can't. You know, like you have to just keep that relationship good and be professional. And then with us since our music like is our main thing, Like a lot of people don't understand is that we totally fund our own careers, Like at this point in time, you know, like we

pay for all of our own music. You're saying that you'll paid for your whole album, you guys, y'all did that. You don't have a record label or anything behind you guys, so you are your own brand, yeah, record label. So that's a whole thing that like, and that's another scary part of it too, because you're literally gambling on yourself, which sounds like it would be easy, but it's hard.

It's really hard. Yeah. Well there's a lot of money involved, Yeah, and that's what it's for an influence, so true, you have to gamble on yourself, and that's taking a bet on yourself is a lot harder than you think, like when it comes down to it, because you have nobody else to blame if, like you didn't get that check at the end of the day, and you know, you're like well, what am I to do for money? This money?

And see that's the other thing though, it's like you have to budget, you have to you know, plan out like your releases, you have, like there's just so much to think about in a single release project, whether whatever that may be. That it's such good advice that you

have to have something else beside your looks. And if you're gonna do it, looks that you better just have awesome clothes fashion sense, right and yeah, but I still have to blog about it and and even that, it's like there's not a whole long, a whole lot of longevity in that just because you're you're not going to be like, you know, forever like with this perfect but it's like you have to have like whether it be a husband or a family or just just a great

sense of style that will eventually transition into styling like older outfits. But you want to have a sustainable, long career. And it goes back to being personal to you, Like that's kind of like it's like you can't just be a really pretty face that post pretty pictures and not have anybody know anything about you except in the fact

that you're pretty. Like it's the it's the real nous, it's the it's the ability and totally talk to me about what life has been like in the influencer world since you've gotten engaged, because that's a whole The influencers love babies and they love engagements, and so what has that been, Like, I mean, I always like assumed, like because you just see it like online, like when when somebody gets engaged, like people of what people love love

letting love them, And I always just I always thought like, oh, that'll be like when it happens. You know. Obviously I'm not like western we need to get engaged so I can get some social media like attention, Like that's not but like it really is. But the thing about it is, I think that people really want to believe in love.

I think so too, And social media is a positive thing because it's letting people see that there's real love to get in there, which is great because the news likes to feature all the bad stuff that social media can actually feature true love story love stories, and and I'm actually like so grateful that, like, you know, like I didn't realize that I was filming my own engagement video because I thought I was blogging a trip. Okay, so we're talking about that because you pulled and Vegan

was a big time and pulling off the surprise. You just briefly describe your engagement because it was epic. I was totally surprised. I mean, I like we had talked about getting engaged, but I genuinely had no idea. And then you know, like we took this trip to New York and then Megan like he had arranged with Megan to like fly out, and Megan and you know, with with Wit and his whole family flew out like I was, and she had turned off her location because we followed.

It was just this whole thing and like, oh my god, she was sending me pictures from like home of like Waffle, like our dog. It was like he was Megan. She was like sending me pictures of Waffle that she had taken like early, like you were actually like you weren't there. Who were you there with? Okay you were, Oh my gosh, so Megan, you're a whole fan. Okay, yeah, I got

it again. So so you were just kind of taking a trip also that I had planned, so like it wasn't like he had planned, right, but but yeah, social media has been like crazy like in this like journey so far and so helpful. Like I'm literally because like I have no idea what I'm doing with wedding planning, and I'm just like, hey, any good like advice on this and she gets like just like d M after DM of like really helpful stuff and I'm just like,

thank you guys, like because you're cuteful. Yeah, and people love like to see a love story and like I'm so happy that like that restores my faith in humanity and yes, everybody loves love and that's like it's real, yeah, because the world is so sad. If we don't loved to link onto, then what is there? Yeah, that's what. There's a little beautiful. Yeah. I think it's so great. And another thing that I love that you guys are so good about is, like you said, positive body image.

And we've talked about this, Liszen, I have because I've struggled with like every who doesn't struggle with bad body image. But tell me why that is so important to you guys, because young girls especially you're looking up to y'all, And tell me why it's important to use your platform in that way, because I think that is such a great because you also are stylish and you're great, but you're never like you're also encouraging loving yourself and explain why

that means so much to you guys. Well, I think especially like nowadays with all those like you know, like the East Tune apps and like Photoshop and just like literally being able to make yourself thinner or make your skin look better like right on an app, I think that that's really messing with a lot of girls self

esteem because they're scrolling through mine included. Yeah, yeah, they're scrolling through Instagram and they're like, oh my gosh, this girl like her body is very but you'll never look like that exactly, And it's like, you can't. It's just unattainable because it's not even attainable for the people that

are posting it because they're editing exactly. And I think it's important for young women and just women in general to know that and to look in the mirror and learn to love yourself because that's who's with you all day, every day for the rest of your life. How do

you learn to love yourself? You look in the mirror because I had I've had to teach myself because when it's daily sometimes now when I look in the mirror and I'm like, you know, you're working with a lot, like this is great you're looking But then I'll immediately just be like, oh, but oh god, that ye that area like trying to you know, and I'm like, why do I do that? But yeah, how do you teach yourself to love yourself? Because you can have the best

body in the world. Like I look at you guys, and I'm like, how could you not have perfect self image? But I think, yeah, it's just everyone feels this, So how do you learn to accept yourself that right there?

Everybody feels this way like, and nobody looks at their body and it's like I'm stoked on it and nobody and nobody is looking at you the way that you so much like nobody's like nobody's like looking at you and thinking like wow, you know, like if her thighs were just a little bit smaller, like she'd really yeah,

like nobody's thinking that. But then also just like for me, I really appreciate my body when I know it sounds weird, but like when I get sick or when I like have like a workout injury or something I'm like, oh my gosh, like this is the body that is like literally like healing, it's keeping me alive, Like like I can't believe that it's like physically doing all of this work for me. And you know, then it's like, why am I being so mad about this stuff when it

is literally keeping me alive? And there are so many people in this world who do not have the luxury that we all have exactly to our heart beat myself breathe easily see here. I mean, honestly, if you go through it, all that our body is working is amazing. The second that I like start to go go down on myself negatively, I I try and think about that.

I think about Megan, like you are perfectly healthy, and like you have no reason to complain about like a little thing that nobody's going to notice, because there are people out there that would kill to be perfectly healthy. They're sitting in a hospital bed, or they're they're sitting in their house because they're paralyzed, or you know, like we're all so lucky to be healthy. And I think that at the end of the day, that's what we

need to remember. And I think what you girls are so good at practicing and I try to practice this too, but just appreciating whatever you have, even if you do have some illnesses or wrong but still finding something to be grateful for, because there's always something to be grateful for. Always, there's always something to be grateful for. And if you can't be grateful for what you have, then you really can't appreciate anything else. It's like, Oh, if I could

just get this, then i'd be happy. Well, what if this is your last day of living. Yeah, you're gonna keep chasing that for like as long as you live. If you're like, oh when I get this, I'll be happy. Oh when I get this, I'll be happuels just be chasing it forever. And I think, you know, you're really handed The universe hands you what you know, the the deck of cards that your life is going to be, and it's the way you handle it in your head, and it's the way you approach it. And you're right,

you were given this. So obviously if God or that bigger force whatever thing is, is divine, then he made us this way for a reason. So we need to just start appreciating, like, Okay, I'm this way, I have this brain even though sometimes I think my brain is so bananas? Am I even living in this brain because it's a psycho. But like it's like and you have this drive in this heart and this and these things that you want to do. And that's another thing, like callings.

Tell me about y'all's calling, because y'all's calling has become this brand. It's like so much more than just like music and clothes and interviewing, But like, how do you figure out your calling? And how did you guy? How do you make your calling into what you do with your life? Yeah? I mean you have to listen to it, like you really listen to it. Like how do you listen to your heart and your calling? I mean like what does it feel like? Is it? Like when? How

does it? How do you know when it's a yes and when it's a note? Like do you feel resistance when it's a no? Do you feel like kind of gross when it's a know? Like do you feel peace when it's a yes? Like how do you get the answer? I feel like? For for me, I think it's it's like when I get on, Like when I was first learning to play guitar and like writing songs, it was like I couldn't stop, Like it was almost like an adrenaline, like you crave it, yeah, you're c yeah, and um.

Eventually I realized, like the reason that I liked music so much was because my stories. I felt like I was helping other people by telling my stories through music. And I realized that like meeting people in person and hearing that like that was the connection that I was chasing all along, Like it wasn't It wasn't even necessarily like you know, my name up in lights, It was never that. It was always like that connection with people.

You wanna know that your life mattered and could what you went through could help someone else with what they're going through. So you're heard in your pain and your experiences were for something, yes, exactly, And that made all of my life experiences make total sense to me. And it was just like this, Oh, it was like a come to Jesus moment. Yeah, and like you know, you know, when something isn't right, you do because it just feels Yeah,

it just feels bad, and enjoy it. You don't afford to it uneasy, you're uncomfortable, Like, yeah, I mean that, I feel like we were that way with certain people sometimes, you know, are certain brands, certain like situations like you just know, you just know when you're like this doesn't feel right, little voice here, Yeah, and we always do.

I feel like we've always been really good at that, and I feel like it's like we know what's good, you know, and like you just you just have to be like time and be yeah, whimsical a little bit and just feel like how am I feeling about this? Like was there something that that person said that didn't rub me the right way? Why did it not rub me the right Yeah? Take the time to explore when you hit hit a negative hatch, like why do I feel weird? Okay? And then search down to the answer.

And then if that answer is something that you're like, Okay, I'm not going to do it. There's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong saying no, being brave enough to believe in yourself to say no to good opportunities, because it is sometimes really hard to say no to a great opportunity. Oh yeah, you know, especially like there's money involved or if you feel like it could get you exposure. But if you get that resistance or that feeling, do you guys,

do you feel like, oh you say no? Yeah, we said We've said no to a lot of stuff that we thought, you know, like it could have the same thing, like it could have like oh it was really cool and it was whatever bought us like here or here here, but we didn't like the person that was doing it, or we didn't get a good feeling. Yeah, and you just say no and then you you don't miss it. You know, you know something in that open space for something that does all right to come in. Because that's

another thing people don't realize. If you say yes to something, then you you're occupied, like you don't have that availability anymore, or something that you actually should be doing. I feel like we've never said no to an opportunity that and we you've never looked back and been like, dang, like we should have done We've never ever done that. I've never done that. It's always like we always feel like

it's let us know. If anything, it comes full circle, we're like, wow, we're really glad we didn't do that. So tell me about music, because you girls like music is your heart and soul. Tell me what's going on with your musical the right now? Well, I mean tell we got the last album? When did y'all? When did that when you released it was a while ago. I was almost two years as a two years ago. I got the writing ever since. So we're we're always writing. We we like to keep that part of our brain

like active. Um. We put out singles every now and then, and yeah, and like right now we're shooting music video this weekend. It's called hand Online and it's one of those songs that you really like you have to listen to the words because the chorus is the same, but the verses tell two different stories and it all like but it all ties together. Well Okay, so yeah, we're really excited because we kind of took like a halftime I feel like on that and we're just now tapping

back into it. Hatch ime on on like just the music part. Like we put out singles and stuff, but I feel like now we're like, all right, we're going to kick it back and eat. Now You're like, okay, two years have gone by since we put out an album.

We're craving it. Crazing yes, absolutely, like you're feeling they're the urge to do it, and like we we do this thing like when we're like practicing or whatever, Like sometimes we'll be like singing together and like we like look at each other when we're done, we're like, oh god, we felt that, and like that doesn't and if we feel like we haven't had that in a while, but I feel like we've been having it more recently. And

that's what's like. We don't pressure ourselves, you know, to be like we gotta put out this, gotta put out that, Like we wait until we crave it again. And we're craving it again, that's when the magic. And that's when the magic, that's when inspiration is ready to receive. That's an inspiration. You girls are really good at listening to your heart. Is that scary? Just operating from your heart? Are you so used to it now that I feel like we're so used to it, I feel like it

hasn't led us wrong. Um. Yeah, And I feel like our mom really taught us to like always do that and so like if you also always the cutest person on her, she actually kept shopping with this up she did. So what did she teach you? How did she instill that in you? I feel like it was something she must have done since we were like babies, because there was never like a It was always just like an

automatic thing. Yeah, there's never another option but to do that. Literally, so she if something bad would happened, what would your mom's response be, she'd be like, she would be like, you know, everything happens for a reason. You just need to trust that that didn't work out for a reason, and whatever is going to happen is gonna happen. The great person to grow up with as a voice in

your pad. Yeah, and she never she never like forced us to do anything, like I think that's like why we're so we follow exactly what we want and what we feel because she never told us to do anything. She never told us how to dress, she never told us how to like choose to spend our time. She never forced us to do anything. So it was it was very all up to us our whole so like our like let us everywhere throughout our childhood, middle school, high school, Yeah and so and so we like you

got used to trusting that. And how do you girls work together? Like what does y'alls five together? How do y'all flow? Like? What is the personality difference in similarities? I mean, at the end of the day, we're always on the same page. Oh yeah, but I don't know it's She's definitely more like the social butterfly. Like I take a while to open up to people. And I don't know why because I wasn't like that my whole life.

I don't know. I think something along the way kind up made me hesitant, like hesitant, like you had a roadblock, it kind of scarred you, and like maybe you didn't realize it what it was, but it'll probably wake up one day and be like that was it. Yeah, Yeah, I mean I'm yeah, I'm definitely more like I feel like I just I know everybody, and there's like certain things that like come I'll be like, hey, liked like some and so said they wanted to do this, Like

what do you think? And then you'll be like, Okay, well let's like look into it and like let see how we can maximize it, you know what I mean, take the time to kind of like make it more of like a thing where I'm just like, let's just do it all the time. That's just like everything, but that's part of like your whimsical like joy that makes you such like a special little human is like you

don't even need to think about that. You're just like yes, yeah, like it's great, but they feel like she's so much better with money, and like literally today like I just like there was just like the stupid thing that like I can't I can't do anything with detail or money or emails or like uploading things, and she just folded. I just I just I just feel I can't do it, Like the technical like movie pretty stuff is just so stressful to me. And so she does all of that.

We have our we have our roles in our and I'm like, while you upload that video, I'll clean the kitchen. Yeah, so that works out. Yeah, you know, so y'all just have to make it work and it's just a natural flow. How lucky is that? It's really lucky. I have to ask you guys. Oh well, actually I was an you guys a few questions on my phone, but I haven't so I know, I want to kind of like get to a little hard questions because y'all are so hard oriented. What does the world need now? Oh? What will this

be a good answer? I feel like it needs um unity. That's like the most impossible thing right now. But just with like no matter which political view you have, no matter what you view, like I feel like the separation

is just what makes everything so much worse. People are so busy like fighting their you know, like politician and political political people are so busy fighting their political views on Facebook that they're forgetting the fact that like so many kids died or over like the Florida shooting, and it's like it's taking all the sensitivity out of it.

I feel like we need to like be more sensitive and like, yeah, it's like they're It's like there are people that like, no matter what, like if you like strip people down to like just people, it's like there's still a human being who has hard days and like really like real emotions, and it's just like you need

each other more than you know. And but it's also like we teach our children to not yell at each other, not hit each other, to treat each other with respect, but then as adults, we don't even respect each other. We just start yelling at each other and drawing huge barriers between each other. When how can we Why can't we just meet in the middle and have real conversations. Are trying to political okay anyway, but the world needs unity. Yeah, okay, what does love mean to y'all? Oh? Do you want

to go first. Um, I feel like it means support, Like that was like the first thing that like kind of keeping in mind, just like having somebody be there for you and support you like and through like your crazy like times, just like really be there for you, like and like mean it. You know, Like that's like

what love is for me, Like showing up. It's showing up, yeah, and like doing the things that you don't want to do for yourself, you know, like sometimes like you know, you just you don't want to do it, but like somebody who loves you will always do whatever that is for you, whether it be like literally a physical thing like oh I don't want to take the trash out, but like you know, you're just like stuff like or just like I don't want to love myself today, like

somebody else like it shows up and does that for you. That's what I think. I think mine's similar in a way. But I think it's acceptance because there's like once you find like the right person and obviously like your mom and your family, they all accept you and know you and love you anyway for anything that you do, everything that you are. And I think that that's like that

is the meaning of love. To me, is just loving and joying this person for everything that they are and not trying to change exactly to be like you or because you think it needs to be like this, and accepting the full thing. I agree. I feel like if we can accept each other and just like everyone I love, I know the parts of their personality that drive me crazy, Like I'm very aware that drives me crazy about people, But then I'm also very aware about what I probably

do to drive crazy. It's like, instead of focusing on that like that drives his nuts, let's focus on the seventy five that's awesome drew to them, And yeah, I totally agree with that. Okay, what do you think darkness is? I know what is darkness, and I think I think a lot of darkness it comes from yourself, honestly, Like it's all yourself. Yeah, because how do you what is?

What do you mean yourself? I feel like a lot of it for me is you know, being scared that you're basically telling yourself that you're not good enough or telling yourself that so worth Yeah, exactly, it's it's a lot of it. I feel it comes from your head, Like totally, your head can be a very dark place, but it can also be a very happy place. It's definitely like you telling yourself like that you're not worthy of this, you're not worthy of good things, You're not

worthy like of whatever. Like that can get so dark so quick, and then it just that just leads to darkness everywhere else. Yeah, like it really it makes it harder to find the joy and things that actually are joyful because you're so distracted by the darkness. It turns you like dark. So people don't love you, like people don't want to support you because they're like, she doesn't

even support herself. Some people can have tons of proof to back it up, then their their head that what they're thinking their head is right, like like, well my parents told me this growing up, that I was worthy, or I had a teacher he said I've never mounted anything, or you know, I look weird in my mind or something, and so they have all this proof that they can back up and validate their darkness, and so then they consider it fat But really that's still just your head.

It is. It's not fact, because no one can tell you you're worth about yourself and you're already worthy because we're here exactly. That's really all the proof we need that we're worthy, But it took me a long time to realize that daily. It's still I know that now, but I still forget it. That's a really good concept though, that, like some people think things in their heads are facts because they have proof because people who they have put in an authority figure have told them things. Is to

retrain your brain. You have to rewire your stuff, and it takes a lot of work. And I think that's what some people don't realize, like even like for us to be like, we worked really hard on being happy and positive, and it's like people are like, oh, they're just so happy and life is so great for people just like, oh, my gosh, do you even know how many books have to read again? How many things about how things are? That's a daily practice. It's a choice

every single day, like for me. And once you start choosing it, don't you feel like it gets to become more habit habit. But you have to in the beginning. I remember when I was changing because I didn't always used to be positive at all, and I was changing it. I had to just make that choice every day and it's sting. Yeah, it's so worth it. It's so worth it. Yeah, Okay, So my last thing I want to ask what is I think I might have asked on this before, but

what is your favorite thing about Megan? And what is your favorite thing about lizz Well, I wonder what I forgot what I said last time can do different ones. I mean, my favorite thing about you. It's so hard to think of just like w I'll think of something that's like, I know I didn't say this last time because it's been highlighted in the wedding planning, so you this is a kind thing. It's kind of weird, but

like I'm so grateful for it is. She pushes me to like like I don't even know, like to like be better for myself. Like when even when it comes to like you know, like I'm just so like I don't care, Like I'm like whatever, like I can cheep out on stuff like I don't care. But Megan's like, no, you need to you need to invest in yourself a

little bit. You need to like you need to know that like when you look back on the wedding day or like whenever this time, like you're not going to be happy with this because you were just like not caring and you're just like trying to take the easy way out. She's like, you need to invest in yourself on whether it be like a little bit more money in the photographer or like stuff like that. But you do this for me like in my life too. You know.

You're like you're like, no, you can do better than that. You don't change yourself. I don't. Yeah, awesome, Why you do that? I always do? Yeah? Always? Probably It's like I'm sort of in that same way, like I hate like the details part of things and like electronics and like figuring out how to upload stuff and like stuff that takes a lot of time and it feels like, um, it's work. I'm usually like, oh god, how could I

not do that work? Yeah? Really though, but then you're right because you're like, but it's going to pay off, yeah, and you're gonna be so happy you did it. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, Megan, you're up. Okay. I think mine is just that, like I don't know, she it kind of goes back to the acceptance thing because like I feel like on a daily basis, I'm like here here, here, here,

here here. Yeah, I'm just like all over the place with like my emotions or how I feel about things, and like she's like always there no matter what crazy thought pops in my head. I don't hesitate to say it out loud and be like so, like this isn't like a thing right, And she's always like no, like it's totally And she never like dings me. She's never like, man, can you stop talking about that? She'll talk me through it.

She'll walk me through it, and I'll be like, Okay, I'll be feeling like way better than I was in my head. Takes the time to go through it all with you, doesn't just like discount your feelings. Yeah, she like takes the time to understand like why I'm feeling them, and she'll talk to work you through it. Yeah, talk me down, talk me down. That's what we say, to me down, talk me down. I don't up got how incredible is you're sweet sweet sisterhood. It's pretty good. What

a blessing it makes you and you are having. You're easing your way into separating because Liz how to go off and get engaged, so now you can't get together, but lovely Megan Halftime lives in Memphis, So y'all are learning of art graduating. It's a thing. It is. I think it's just now feeling good to me, Like you know what I mean, like a week on week got right? Yeah, I feel like now it's like I'm not so scared

of you leaving. It's almost like okay, like now when you go, it's like I know know what to expect. I know to expect, I know my own routines. Now you know, I'm not totally dependent on her routine to like structure my routine. So you're learning faster than me. Because my poor boyfriend he comes home and he's like, you're not mad at me, You're mad that Lizz isn't here.

And I'm like, you're right, God take it out. Yeah, I mean I feel like but like even so like we like we FaceTime, text call every day every day no matter what, even if we're together, I swear we're like texting. Like it's like all okay, So I wrap up, leave your lights. So just leave some inspiration, some positivity you want to show in the world, maybe like what you would want to tell young girls or young influencers. Just like leave the inspiration anything you want. It doesn't

have to be anything. It could be anything, anything, is inspiring. I'd say, no matter what you're going through in your life right now, whether it be good, bad, best day of your life, worth saved your life. I think it's important for everybody to embrace the fact that nothing is forever. So if you're having the worst day of your life, it won't be the worst day of your life forever. But if you're having the best day of your life, don't let that get to your head. Yeah, I love that.

Let that keep you, like, enjoy it for everything that it's worth. And no, they'll come again, but don't let it over your head, and don't get stuck there and think it then because you self sabotaged because you're so worried about losing. No, it's going to pass. Yes, it's all gonna pass. Yes, but more stuff is gonna come. Yes. I love that. Yeah, follow that. I think I'm gonna do a love themed one. Yeah, because you're gonna go all that. A lot of people like keep asking me

like how did you know? Like that's like the number one question that people are like literally like I did a question and answer and they're like, how did you know? He was the one? Like how did you know? How did you know and like how do you know? I mean a great question. Yeah, and so I guess like my advice is like how you know is is like you have to again, you have to listen to your to where you are. You can't like think that, Oh like I'm the sage now, So I'm it's time to

get married to pressure or fear. Yeah, you can't do that, and um, the right person will like the kind of love that you feel. It won't make you question, um if there's anything else. Um. I feel like with all of my other relationships before this one, I would always be like, this is great. You can because you can have something great. But if you're still questioning, like this is great, but like, wow, I wonder if I'd be

better with somebody else totally um. But not to get that confused with anxiety, because anxiety can do those questions too. But I mean if you're really like for months at a time being like I don't know, like I feel like there's somebody better for me, like you're probably right, and then you're like, oh, there's probably not, and I

don't want to I don't want to lose this. I'm just gonna you don't want to get don't want to do because as someone that's married, if you are not totally like best friends and like in it to win it marriage, there's all sorts of stuff at you that have nothing to do with how much you love each other. But you got to have that foundation. I totally agree.

So definitely, like make sure but you're not questioning other things, and you know, like with the person that you love, like you will be the one and you will know what it's the one, Like you really will know, Like when they say you know, you know, it's like you really do. That's a real thing. It's kind of don't you feel like it's sort of just like almost like a peace thing too, like you just sort of are yourself.

I read something that said, like someone who was not your soul mate will make you feel like all sorts of things like up and down and some passion and crazy stuff like when you're with your one, you feel all this passion, but it's with peace behind it. It's you just feel like, yes, it could be yourself table. Yeah, you don't have to put on an air. I love

that question. I'm so glad that you address that because you should never get married because you feel like you're because you feel like no one's gonna love you for any reason other than this person. Let you be you, and I actually agree, like you genuinely feel like there's like no one else that you would rather be with, Like I'm not you're not even thinking about it. You're not like really like oh, like oh that person that used to date, Like no, like you just have to

have no questions. It's just yeah, you're like I freaking Leonardo DiCaprio came up and said, you're the one you're gonna be Like dude, sorry, I'm person. Yeah it has to be that strong. Yeah, it really does. But mean, Leo would be a hard so ill to turn down. But yeah, but like yeah, but I mean I love you too, but like I can't love you Titanic, But could we act out that one thing just at the ours out check I'm flying? Can we just do that?

And that's all you're gonna get? Thank God, Thank began, Liz. I love y'all so much. Thank you for joining me again, all my influencers series. You are the best. New music coming soon very soon. Yeah, it music coming soon. We have a wedding coming soon, so exciting. I love you, girl, you, love you all. Thank you all so much for tuning in. How awesome was that interview?
