Welcome to the show, Becky, what's going on? Wow?

Welcome to the show, Becky, what's going on? Wow?

I feel like I was holding my breath that whole time because I was like, Jennie Sheddy is totally just giving the whole feel of my entire career layout. And I admire you so much and I'm so happy to be here, and the same way you've been trying to get me to sit in this chair in front of you for so long. I feel like everything just happens for a reason, with purpose on purpose, and I'm ready for the triple h man, I'm ready for it.

I feel like everything just happens for a reason, with purpose on purpose, and I'm ready for the triple h man, I'm ready for it.

I love it. Why was now the right time for you personally? Earlier you were just mentioning that you know, you and Rody bumped into each other last week, and you're saying now is a time where you've been looking for the signs like why, why is now a good time for you to be talking and sharing? Why are you feeling that way?

Why are you feeling that way?

I feel like I'm in a time in my life where, well, I mean, if we go all the way back to like when I was young, I'm such an observer, like I'm a little sponge.

I taken everything around me, but especially.

Like when you start in a career as young as I did, it's very much so like put your head down get it done, get it done, get it done, get it done, and you just keep going and you keep going, and then you like blink and then you're like, oh, snap, I'm twenty six, Like look at all the things around me, Like what is this?

What's actually happening?

What's actually happening?

And so there's a little bit of an awakening I would say that's happening in this season of my life of a deeper sense of self, a desire to expand, and so as I look around and invite these signs, it just it's beautiful when it's really like affirmed by the universe that like there's no better time than now.

Absolutely, And what was it that got you started so young? Like how and why did that even come about for you?

Absolutely, And what was it that got you started so young? Like how and why did that even come about for you?

I think, well, I love making people smile, that's for sure. I grew up in a very big family. So I'm one of four kids. I'm the eldest, and then I have my brother Frankie, my brother Alex, and my baby sister Stephanie. And we were just like this dynamic four, fantastic four, always like we didn't do anything without each other. And I feel like we all just were so different, but we all had this sense of belonging because of how nurturing my mom was about our differences and how you know, one could like this color, but you can also like a different color. And Frankie you like to play sports, but be you like to dance, and Stephanie you love to cook. And we were just very free to be ourselves at home. I felt so lucky to experience that at such a young age, but I felt so misunderstood outside of that space because I realized, wow, like there's a lot of social constructs that don't allow us to really be that true, authentic version of ourself. And so I was just like hell ben on making sure that other people felt seen and felt heard and felt loved the same way I got to when I was younger. And so yeah, I think it started with that desire, that desire to make people feel connection, you know, for me to feel connection with someone else outside of that space as well.

Absolutely, And I feel like we're all everything we all do is wanting to feel connected, right, whether we're crying or whether we're laughing, or whether we're reaching out for help or we're reaching out to help, Like all of it almost seems to be a cry for connection. We're all wanting to feel that. And you've talked a lot about this concept of the two hundred percent, which is what this new album is based on your roots, and I love that idea. Can you explain it because it's the first time I'd heard about it in that way and I really really appreciate it.

Yeah, of course. Well I okay.

Yeah, of course. Well I okay.

So I'm Mexican American. I was born and raised here in LA And it's interesting to me how I always like it was always like the fifty to fifty, you know, you're half this, half that, And I didn't like that. There was something about that that never sat well with me, and I think it's because it made me feel like in order to be accepted here, I have to give up a part of myself, and in order to be accepted there, I have to give up a part of myself. And in reality, it's like I am who I am. I shouldn't have to give up any of who it is that is my true authentic being to be accepted somewhere, to fit into this this space, this shape right that doesn't feel organic to me, that doesn't feel natural to me. And it was a little like micro like experiences like even hanging around my cousins who were from Mexico, and I'm telling me I was American, and I'm like, well, I guess technically, yeah, but like I don't know when I'm in America, they tell me that I'm Mexican, So which one am I? And there's this this saying in Spanish, you know, Nidia qui, Nidia yah, You're not from here, You're not from there? And then I would respond to that and Ton says on the Miquel like, well in that kid, where do I stay? Like where do I belong? You know? And so it's kind of like rewriting that to say, like no sisoy like I am, I am from here and from there csaki eia yeah, you know. And it's kind of what inspired the album Mesquinas, because I am not this side or that side of the streets that raise me. I am the corner of two flags, two cultures, two languages, and I know I'm not the only one, you know, not just within the Latin community even, but i'd say, and I have so many friends who I mean, I don't know that. Do you feel like you have a two hundred percent experience sometimes?

Do you feel like you have a two hundred percent experience sometimes?

Yeah? Well I love that. That's why I love the way you put it, and even just now, the way you explain that is so beautiful and elegant, Like it really resonates with me. I love that idea about not having to be half of this and half of that. I actually experienced it even more in the roles I've played in the world, and so I often say to people that I'm as much the monk mindset as I am the manager in my work, as I am the media person, as I am now a married person, like all of that is me. I'm not one or the other, because I often get that where it's like, oh, Jay, it used to be a monk and now you have companies and you're married and do this and that, and I'm like, yeah, but the two things can coexist for me as an identity because there's so much from that that I love and relate to, and then there's so much from this that I love and relate to. And again with being born in London, but my parents are from originally from India, but then my mother is from Yemen, and so there's so many cross sections in my background. And then I'm someone who's born and raised in London but now lives in la and so there's that intersection, and I love the idea of how we can all be so much more than what our passport says, or than what our job title says, or then what our bank balance says or whatever it may be, Like we're all so much more. So I think by you saying that, And I love the idea of the street corner. Yeah, that's that's really cool because that's all the cool stuff happens on the corner, not on either side of the street anyway.

Yeah? Well I love that. That's why I love the way you put it, and even just now, the way you explain that is so beautiful and elegant, Like it really resonates with me. I love that idea about not having to be half of this and half of that. I actually experienced it even more in the roles I've played in the world, and so I often say to people that I'm as much the monk mindset as I am the manager in my work, as I am the media person, as I am now a married person, like all of that is me.

So I think by you saying that, And I love the idea of the street corner. Yeah, that's that's really cool because that's all the cool stuff happens on the corner, not on either side of the street anyway.

I mean totally. And if you're from La, you know, that's where all the best fruit stands are and the best tagos thing. So, but I yeah, it's the intersectionality. That's what it is, exactly what it is. It's like where all of these things meet, all the spaces in between, you know, And I think that's there's so much beauty in it. But I think unfortunately there's you know, systems that make us think that they're wrong, but in reality it's just an old programming that doesn't necessarily work anymore. And that's okay too, you know. And I love what you said about letting you know all the truths exist, because that's something that I think growing up I felt society tells you you how to think very black and white, and I'm like life is in color for a reason, you know, like we should be seeing life and color. There's so much going on around us, and I like to think that, you know, this vessel I'm very thankful for. I'm very thankful for the vessel that allows me to experience this life. But my spirit is so much bigger. My soul needs to expand, you know. And the same way we can experience such beauty, we can experience pain. And there's all these like opposites of everything, and then it's the spaces in between that kind of just tie it all together, you know. I love that there's purpose in that.

How did you go about that journey of giving yourself permission to belong in both?

How did you go about that journey of giving yourself permission to belong in both?

It just it felt like I could only.

It just it felt like I could only.

Stay in that like uncomfortable position for so long. You know, you're sleeping on a plane, yeah, and you're so tired, like you will fall asleep anyway, But then there's like that half hour that goes by when you wake up and you're like, my leg is dead and I can't feel my neck and it hurts, and this is not like this isn't good. Quality sleep, like I can't wait until I get into my bed. Yeah, And I felt like I would feel that way sometimes, like I could stay here for just a little bit, you know, but it didn't feel very long lasting. And I think that there just comes a time where if you allow yourself to, like you said, give yourself permission to even just explore what could be on the other side, to explore that maybe I don't want to sleep on the plane, maybe I do want to sleep in my bed, and I can't right now, and that's okay, But I can't wait for the day, you know, or the time that comes and look forward to it. And so I would always look forward to the day that like I wouldn't be compared to like another artist that like literally looked nothing like me, spoke nothing like me, and I'd be like, I don't want to be them. I want to be Becky, you.

Know, like.

Know, like.

And I was so young, already feeling that way, growing up in this industry. And it was those boxes, man, it was those boxes that just like I knew I could check them. I knew I could check those boxes and make other people happy. But there came a point, I think when I decided honestly, to pursue singing Spanish music was that turning point for me, and it was it was because I was going to be facing my biggest fear, which was, Okay, well i am American and I've started a professional career singing music in English, but I've always repped my Latini dad. But now me singing in Spanish don't know if I'll be accepted there. And that was like really scary because the only real point of reference I had was the Queen Selina Quintania, who you know, unfortunately is no longer with us, and so I just remember being like there's a scene in the movie where her dad says, you have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans. It's exhausting, and he says it like that too, it's exhausting, and I'm like, yeah, your girls tired, man, I'm tired. Like I just want to be I just want to be who I am. And the truth is is, like I think, when you lean into the authenticity of just knowing, like I got to make myself happy and this really does make me happy, there's gotta be something on the other side of that. And little did I know I was gonna be confronted with so many other you know, obstacles in Latin culture that totally didn't want me to succeed, you know, the Machies mole that exists. The amount of times, know, the labels will say, you know, girls on sell tickets, they don't get played on the radio, all kinds of stuff, and I like to think, you know, we're here, we're doing it, so there must be something.

Right, you know, doing a lot right? Yeah, a lot right. Tell me about that that fear that you had in terms of like, I've started my career singing in English now and moving over, will I be accepted? Yeah? And that fear is really displacing too again when you're like, I'm from here and I'm from there as well. What was it inside of you that pushed you to say I'm going to do this anyway? Like, what was it that gave you the courage and strength? Because I can imagine there's so many people who are listening and watching right now who are thinking, I don't want to do that because I don't want to be seen that way, or I don't want to do that because someone's going to put me in a box or someone's going to push me back. Like we all have these doubts in our own ways. What was it that helped you overcome that doubt?

Like we all have these doubts in our own ways. What was it that helped you overcome that doubt?

I think remembering what someone like Selena did for me and understanding that like like somebody's got to do it like and not like so I now I have to. It really came from a place of truly desiring and wanting to do that for myself because I know I deserved that space, and the same way I believe I deserve that space, I believe there's so many other talented young women that deserve that space. And so you know, brick by brick, and if I only bring one brick to this to this bridge, that's fine.

So be it.

So be it.

But we need it. There isn't There's a need for this, and I want to be a part of that. And I think that was really inspiring for me to be able to like take agency in that way and know that there was a lot of like naysayers that were like not believing, but then also knowing like the same way I was in that nurturing household where I was allowed to be different, like we're going to keep building spaces like that, like we need that in the systems that are, you know, continuing because they're not sustainable. Somebody's got to shake it up. And so and I remember being a part of like specifically the Latin industry at that time, and I think it was my intersectionality that made it kind of less intimidating for me, because I was like, I know what it's like to not be accepted here, like because it happened on the other side. So there's nothing you can tell me here that I haven't already heard. You know.

It's fascinating, isn't it That when you're young, you're forced to fit in, and then as you get older, it's all about how do you stand out?

It's fascinating, isn't it That when you're young, you're forced to fit in, and then as you get older, it's all about how do you stand out?

Yep?

Yep?

And it doesn't make any sense because it's so counterintuitive. Your whole life, you've been told stand in line, do as they do, do as I say, and everyone's told to conform. And as you get older, it's like, well, how do you brand yourself? How do you market yourself? What's unique about you? But you've been told to hide all of your uniqueness, all right, You've been told to hide all of it. So it's almost like we're trying to figure out what that uniqueness is I love your idea about or the vision that you just painted for all of us is like how we're all just laying another brick on the bridge. That's such a beautiful way to think about it. And I wonder how instrumental your grandfather was in this whole journey for you. I know that this album is inspired dedicated to and you sadly lost him a few years ago, But tell us a bit about why family has been so important to you, but particularly him, and I can see you taking it for those who are not watching. Yeah, big deep breasts from Becky.

Yeah, No, I think it's because I mean to understand that we come from something so much bigger than us is so powerful, sometimes overwhelming, I think for a lot of us mixed ethnicity kids, because you know, we're not just walking into a room with our dreams. We're walking into a room with our dreams and then the dreams of the generations before. Not just into a room with our own sacrifices, but the sacrifices of those before. All of the stuff that you know can feel very heavy sometimes, but then those two truths can exist at the same time that I really here so strongly in the back of my subconscious, which is that it can be really heavy, but such an honor and there's a power in that to come from people who have had to make something out of nothing, and if they did, you can too. My grandfather, Miguel Gomez get his gun simpass. He is one of the greatest men I think I've ever gotten to know in this life. And I feel this way about all my grandparents. Like to have had all four of my grandparents so present in my life and to be a part of the village that raised me, you know, is such an honor to me. And when he passed away, and him being you know, my first grandparent, that that I lose, just that that thing that I hold on to is that although again his vessel may no longer be with me, that guidance, that that honor that it is to carry that that superpower with me is just it's so incredibly motivating and so inspirational, and I think there's there's a lot there that when I look back at it, you know, he was really a big part as to why I started pursuing this because a lot of my grandparents, I mean, they didn't finish their education, so they all started working very very young, and that was the social norm in Mexico, you know, in Mexico like that that was part of you know, part of what it was.

You don't finish school, you work to help your family.

You don't finish school, you work to help your family.

Obviously, we live in America and there's such a thing as child labor law, so it wasn't the same thing for me. But the concept of being nine years old and working to provide for my family and going out in the streets and hustling like it didn't feel like a absolute no to me. It felt like, well, if they did it, I can do it too, you know. And to see everything that my grandparents have built, I mean, my grandmother talks about all the day, she says, he but like her little village. She's so thankful to God for her little village that she created, you know, with my grandpa. And it's just like, yeah, like y'all really did that, and we're all just this ever growing tree of and of those roots, you know, and so so yeah, he's he's with me every day.

I feel it.

I feel it.

That's beautiful. Yeah, you can kind of see that energy coming through you right now as well. It's like it's evident that he has a place in your heart that's really deep and special and it must it must be so powerful to be able to use that to give back and to connect with people.

Definitely.

Definitely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I think it's like it's their humanness, you know, it's seeing their old age, like even seeing like they once could and now they can't physically, but we can, you know, so like how do we carry that on? It's just it's it's so beautiful and so empowering and so just knowing that even when we're no longer here, like things stay, like there's an energy there that stays. There's something so meaningful and so purposeful to our every word and interaction shared. It's just like you want to live a life that is of substance, you know, Like I don't want to just lollygag and just you know, I mean maybe every now and then, don't get me wrong, but but no, I mean it in the way of just like even in the simplest of things, just like living in gratitude.

Beggy, you grew up in the public eye, and you know you've grown up in the public eye too, And it's the idea of growing up, growing up, yeah, up, growing up, Yeah, growing up in the public eye. What would you say, have been the pros of that? Like what really great lessons have you kind of taken on, and what have been some of the challenges that you're still trying to figure out that you still feel you struggle with sometimes.

Yeah, I think it's interesting. I don't think I saw many of the cons to it as a kid, because I was just like, wow, like this is so cool space to just be and be yourself. And then you don't really realize how you're exposing yourself, like beyond what then the average person like usually gets exposed to. And it's not just like the support, it's also the opposite of what support is, right, people having a thought and a say or an intention that isn't always positive against everything that you do. And it wasn't until you were like a teenager and you're getting made fun of for the way you dress or what your teeth look like or having acne or whatever, and you're like, wow, you're really wearing these things, like you're really wearing it. And then you know, on top of that, you're dealing with I mean, for me, I was dealing with, you know, the pressures to provide for my family, So like I'm really showing up as my best self because there's too much writing on the line.

Yeah, I think it's interesting. I don't think I saw many of the cons to it as a kid, because I was just like, wow, like this is so cool space to just be and be yourself.

It's not just me, it's everybody who's walking in the room with me.

It's not just me, it's everybody who's walking in the room with me.

So when you are kind of put in this place where you were, you feel almost attacked sometimes, or you know, you feel let down, You don't feel as supported as you thought you would. You start to question, like, oh, is this a safe space? Is this? Is this what it's supposed Is this what I signed up for? Because that's what everybody's telling me, this is what you signed up for, This is what you signed up for. And it's like, as I've continued to grow up in this space, I think the biggest lesson for me is just like maybe I'm.

Not supposed to be like to by everybody.

Not supposed to be like to by everybody.

Maybe that's not the goal, you know, maybe I'm not Maybe I'm not supposed to be for everyone. Maybe I can be a little bit more sacred with my energy, you know, maybe I don't have to be on social media twenty four to seven. You know, like, maybe I can remember that there's a real world out there with real people, and quality connection matters, not the quantity of connections I make. And so I think that like for me, going from literal baby Becky fourteen years old getting discovered on the Internet, to the twenty six year old that is still figuring out how to practice those boundaries every single day.

Yeah, it's like the biggest takeaway for me.

Yeah, it's like the biggest takeaway for me.

Yeah, And that realization that we're not for everyone is really difficult to swallow because I feel like our whole life we've been trained to kind of be people who make everyone around us happy. We've been trained to be that way, conditioned, like we make people smile. Or you with the peace maker in your family, or you were the change maker in your family, or you with the person who kind of you know, communicated individually and mediated with your family, Like, we've all played roles, and most of those roles revolve around us being liked or doing things to be liked. And all of a sudden, you grow up, and especially if you have a large public platform, and even if you don't have a large public platform, just growing up, you go to work and you have family.

It's crazy to I was literally gonna introduct right there to say you do not have to be someone with a platform like ours to know what this pressure is like today. Agree, And that actually makes me so fearful for the future generations because we are constantly comparing ourselves to everyone's greatest hits, and that is really really hard to leave any room, any space for grace, for growth, you know, because there's this fear, this fear of messing up, saying the wrong thing or whatever. And it's just like that's actually part of learning. We have to leave room to learn, and I think it's also learning that we can be something different. I was thinking about this the other day and I had a conversation with like a really close friend of mine about how it's wild to me that I've shared so much of my life on the internet since such a young age and because I shared that, you know, my favorite flavor of ice cream seven years ago was chocolate, that someone can come across that today and be like, oh, she's a chocolate ice cream loving girly and like.

Little do they know, like I don't really like ice cream anymore, but like I don't even have a favorite flavor actually for for frozen yogurts, you know, and there's like seven years but because someone can come across that, you know today, it can be like, no, that's who she is, and.

Unless it's documented, you can't tell me any different, you know.

Unless it's documented, you can't tell me any different, you know.

But it's like I think it's leaving space that like I can change my mind. I mean, I could love live, scream tomorrow who knows, you know, and that's totally possible. But on a deeper level, it's interesting you were saying something. There's a book that I read called The Family on Bradshaw, and it really blew my mind about the rigid roles that we play in like family systems, and we find so much purpose in that, but then we get so attached to what that role is to forget that, like we have.

To go out into the world and like learn more, you know.

To go out into the world and like learn more, you know.

Like it terrifies me sometimes when I think about that, because I feel like I've lived so much life in my twenty six years, and I'm like.

Like it terrifies me sometimes when I think about that, because I feel like I've lived so much life in my twenty six years, and I'm like.

Wait, there's more.

Wait, there's more.

You're telling me there's more. I should be inspired and excited at that idea, and a part of me is, but then there's another part of me that's absolutely terrified, you know. And I think it's again leaving room for those two truths to exist. And usually when it's terrifying, I think it's because it's right for you, you know what I mean, Like it's supposed to be scary, like just at least just a little bit to like ignite that thing in you that really like catches your soul on fire and says I was made for this.

You know, and I'm so happy that I did it.

You know, and I'm so happy that I did it.

You know.

You know.

Yeah, how hard was it for you? You just talked about there where you're like, maybe I want to be someone who experiences the real world. Maybe I do want to switch up from social media, like as a public figure, and even in our friend circles, like I remember when I quit drinking alcohol and when I went back to my friend group that was used to me drinking alcohol and being a certain person at the party and now I don't. It was a complete switch. I wasn't I didn't have a public platform, I wasn't known. But even in my group or my community, it was like, wait a minute, Jay, have you changed right? Or when I stopped doing certain things and when I started doing certain things. We all go through these like identity deaths of who we were and who we wanted to be to who we are today. And when you're trying to make a transition like not being as active on social media or you're trying to make it transition of I don't go to those places anymore. Whatever it may be, I feel we all go through this moment of identity shifts, and it sounds like you've had to do that too. What has helped you make those as smooth as they can be, or what has happened when you've made those shifts and what have you.

Dealt with I'm laughing because Jay, it's so not smooth, like it's so rough out here. It's very new for me. It is so new. I have lived more of my life this way than I have practicing trying something new. But it makes me very proud of myself to know that I can look at myself every day in the mirror and say, I know it's going to be really hard, and it's going to be challenging, and there's going to be things that trigger a response from you. Maybe that you are that is second nature. We are going to take time to process. We're gonna add some filters in your process that are better for you, because there's better ways to deal with things. There's better ways than having to just like promote your pain. You know, somebody the other day is so funny. Somebody the other day mentioned to be like, what's up with all these young kids posting videos of themselves crying on the internet, and I said, first of all, that's really mean, because literally, you know, maybe they're seeking for connection. And second of all, I've totally done that, damn it. I'm guilty. I'm so guilty of it.

But are there times where I wish I didn't?

But are there times where I wish I didn't?

Absolutely because maybe not everybody needed to see that. I wanted to be seen so badly. But who am I seeking that from? Why am I seeking that from the world when maybe it's really within myself? And so that daily practice for me is still very new, but it's doing things differently, willing to what's that saying, you won't You got to be willing to do something you've never done in order to get the result you've never had, Right, And so if I want to be the healthiest version of myself, I have to be willing to look at my daily routines mentally routine, the mental routines that I have, the spiritual routines that I have, the physical routines that I have, and really just be honest with myself and am I setting myself up for success? You know? And there's been hard times, like people very.

Close to me will be like, Bee, we had this conversation.

Close to me will be like, Bee, we had this conversation.

We've had this conversation, and they very lovingly hold space for me to come back around and be like you're right. Yeah, you're so right, you know. But it's like just understanding that we are constantly, always in process.

We've had this conversation, and they very lovingly hold space for me to come back around and be like you're right. Yeah, you're so right, you know. But it's like just understanding that we are constantly, always in process.

Yeah, yeah, let's walk through some of those actually, because we love doing that on purpose. You mentioned mental, spiritual, and physical routines. Let's talk about some of the Let's start with the mental routines. What are some daily routines or habits or practices that you've been working on.

Yeah, yeah, let's walk through some of those actually, because we love doing that on purpose. You mentioned mental, spiritual, and physical routines. Let's talk about some of the Let's start with the mental routines. What are some daily routines or habits or practices that you've been working on.

Okay, so shout out to my therapist because she's taught.

Okay, so shout out to my therapist because she's taught.

Me the three legs.

Me the three legs.

Therapists, I love me too.

Therapists, I love me too.

Oh they keep it real, that's for sure. But the three legged table is the mind, body, soul. And if it's a table that needs to work right, it needs to hold things on top of it. If one of the tables is a little wobbly, or one of the tables the legs break, it can't it can't fulfill its purpose right, what it's intended for. And so I am very much so a mind, body, soul kind of person. And I think for me, if we're starting with the mind just like not being on my phone the first moments that I wake up in the morning, I didn't realize like how second nature it was. Like even just having like a separate alarm clock outside of my phone.

Very new for me.

Very new for me.

Actually just started practicing that I do a social media detox once a month, so like there's I'll literally delete the apps from my phone completely and.

Actually just started practicing that I do a social media detox once a month, so like there's I'll literally delete the apps from my phone completely and.

It's the best for how long?

It's the best for how long?

For how long I do at least seven days constantly?

For how long I do at least seven days constantly?

Yeah, yeah, also very new, but it's working. Highly recommend And I don't say these things to like knock anybody, because there's some people I know that can, like very much so be on these platforms and like are so unphased by it, and it's great for them, and I love that for them. But I know myself and I'm very very sensitive. So kind of just just practicing those things has been super helpful for me on the on the mental side. And then I would say on the spiritual side, meditating has done so much for me, Like meditation and prayer. I think just believing and having faith in something that is greater than you is always helpful, you know. I think it's really hard to trust something that you can't see that you can't physically feel or touch, but there's also something very magical when you tap into that. And there's been moments where my day will be so crazy and I, you know, this is constantly trying to find time. How do we reset the mind? How do we reprogram? And I just think to myself, even after ten minutes of meditation, there's another version of me on the other side of that that.

Yeah, yeah, also very new, but it's working. Highly recommend And I don't say these things to like knock anybody, because there's some people I know that can, like very much so be on these platforms and like are so unphased by it, and it's great for them, and I love that for them. But I know myself and I'm very very sensitive. So kind of just just practicing those things has been super helpful for me on the on the mental side. And then I would say on the spiritual side, meditating has done so much for me, Like meditation and prayer. I think just believing and having faith in something that is greater than you is always helpful, you know. I think it's really hard to trust something that you can't see that you can't physically feel or touch, but there's also something very magical when you tap into that. And there's been moments where my day will be so crazy and I, you know, this is constantly trying to find time. How do we reset the mind? How do we reprogram? And I just think to myself, even after ten minutes of meditation, there's another version of me on the other side of that that.

Will be so much better, so much capable.

Will be so much better, so much capable.

What part of me can't give myself ten minutes today like that that spiritual like tapp in and like recentering for me is.

Special sauce.

And what type of meditation is that for you?

And what type of meditation is that for you?

What I did? Meditation still for me because we've got a lot of thoughts these days, you know, and it's hard to silence them. But uh, it's sometimes.

Twice a day, you know.

Twice a day, you know.

I try to do it twice a day, definitely in the morning or sometimes when I'm in the sauna, like post workout, to kind of just really be in my body and then uh, and then at night. And I also do uh do you know Wim Hoffs, Yeah, of course, yeah.

On the show.

Oh my god, another person I would like absolutely geek out to meet. But honestly, that that whole routine for me, even like before shows, just really relaxes the nervous system on that breath hold. There's like a spiritual feeling that I have, and sometimes I'll play like frequency during and it just like there's moments where I'm like, oh my God, I'm totally coming out of my body right now and this is so nice.

Yeah, and what about prayer.

Yeah, and what about prayer.

You mentioned prayer there, Yes, Yeah, prayer is super important. It's funny, I grew up in a very religious household. I'm very Mexican in that sense. My grandmothers are very Catholic, and I'm much more spiritual than religious, i'd say, but I think seeing them in their dedication, seeing them in their practice was like very inspiring to me when I was younger, and also the communal aspect of it too, Like getting to pray with my grandmothers growing up is something very sacred to me. And I just think that, yeah, when I pray and I surrender, like like going like God is like I.

Because it's important to know that you can't control everything. You just can't. You can control what you do, how you react to what's going on around you. But you can't actually control everything that's happening around you, and I struggle with that on a daily basis.

There's not a version of me before this. I'd say age that would say I love being in the gym. I love working out so much the point where I'm like, maybe I should prioritize sleep a little bit more than the gym.

But even in that sense, it's like, you know, not that my indulgence self takes over, but like enjoying the little things in life, like the balance, you know, like I love food, so the balance of that is like, go burn it off in the gym, girl, and you'll be just fine.

I love that. No, And it's so beautiful that you're thinking about your life as those three legs to the table or the stool in your life, because it is so interesting to me about how as soon as you take your eye off of one of them, how much harder everything else becomes. And yet when those three things are good, like you said, they can carry the weight even if it's getting really really heavy. Yeah, you still have this fighting chance almost. And I guess the thing that I found that has really helped me in that regard as well is making sure that I'm not trying to solve all three at the same time. It's almost like one at a time. Like I remember, I always had my spiritual practice, and then I added my mental practice, and then I added my physical practice. And for me, that order worked really well. Whereas when you're trying to all three at the same time, then too, it's almost like saying, if you're putting a table together using your analogy, you can't put all three legs on at the same time. It just doesn't work that way. You got to put one improperly. Then the other one, and then the other one. I want to go back to something you said earlier. You talked about the need for quality connections instead of quantity connections. What is Beckyg's definition of a quality connection? How do you view your quality connection?

You know, I think it's it's when I feel safe in a room to be my true authentic self. And there's ways that my body used to tell me that that, like this isn't authentic, Like there's something about this that doesn't feel right, and I would stay in the room because you're scared of how that might come off, or again, the people pleasing tendencies totally start to come through. Right I'm a performer by nature at this point because I've been doing this for longer than I've ever not been doing it. But I think it was just really understanding, man Like, it feels really good when I can just show up in me and when I'm trying to be my authentic self. Sometimes there's a little fumbling that happens, or just sometimes it flows. Like right now, this feels like a quality connection. It's just flowing. I'm not really thinking about what could be said or what could be felt and how that might come off. And that feels to me again aside from the universe and really affirms that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. And so when I have those feelings that feel very affirmed in a moment, that is quality connection.
