Speaker 2:

Hey guys, welcome to the Ramblin' Gypsy podcast. My name is Tiffany Foy. If this is your first time joining us, this is my porch and today I have. Usually we have Kel. That's with us. She's always hanging and we're solving the world's problems, but today I brought one of my girlies on. This is a very good friend of mine. We met years and years and years ago. This is Miss Emily Roberts.

Speaker 1:

Well, hey y'all yeah. So she is um. We really met. Well, come on, we were getting our pedicure, we were like any normal.

Speaker 2:

I mean I care about your toes. I mean that that give a damn.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was looking at a video of my daughter and she was little little. She's six now. She was little little and you were like your kids are freaking cute and I was like you're cute, yeah we should talk.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we should hang out, we should do something.

Speaker 1:

It was the strangest bonding moment it was cool bond when they're getting one year like a little social butterfly.

Speaker 2:

And you, yeah, we're both kind of one of those that just kind of starts, walks up and talks to people, yeah and so. But that was, that was a long time ago, so the kids were little. I know I feel like she's got two boys and a girl.

Speaker 1:

Yep, and they are. We got one about to graduate kindergarten cheese and rice, yeah, and then my oldest is going into fifth grade. It's just weird. We're in two different, very different seasons of life, yes, but we make it work because we want to help women yeah, empower them we like weird things and we're weird very weird.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I feel like like you and I hit it off just with our, and if you've watched some of my episodes before, you've heard me talk about how I'm not really a women's woman or a girl's girl. Girl's girl, I that it's. Yeah, we're very, you're loud, we're very yes as well, like, yes, I have a childhood best friend.

Speaker 1:

but I literally was just telling Tiffany before I walked in the room, like Scott and I, just my husband, I'm like we don't belong anywhere, like we've moved six times in seven years. Our kids think it's normal to live in a hotel, and they're also really bougie so but I'm like where do I belong? Like I'm 34, I'm on my three and considered a millionaire at this age. I'm in sales and it's none of my friends relate to that.

Speaker 2:

Right, and that's another reason why I want to introduce you to everybody on my porch, because I feel like there's so many things that you can tell people. And let's tell everybody how Emily became Unprofessional I am. Yeah, let's tell them how unprofessional that you really are.

Speaker 1:

So how did it start? So a lifetime ago, my husband served in the Marine Corps.

Speaker 2:

Mind you, she's 34. So she's talking about a lifetime ago.

Speaker 1:

I was 24 then. Okay, I knew everything, I knew everything, I knew everything. You're such an old lady. Aren't your kids in their twenties now.

Speaker 2:

Thirties. Okay, so they know everything. Yeah, they think they do.

Speaker 1:

That was me. Yeah, freshly married Scott was in Afghanistan. It was his fourth tour and I literally had just given birth to my oldest son and I walked away from personal finance. That's what I did for five years Worked my way up in the company, was doing great, making big girl money. Thought I had arrived, we lived in San Diego and we lived credit card to credit card.

Speaker 2:

That's not smart living.

Speaker 1:

It's very stressful on top of okay, do I work and pay for childcare, because then I'm working for free. Do I like what? What am I doing? What am I doing? And so I was in college full-time online student. Did not know what I wanted to be when I grew up. Just did not. Um, just, for example, three things I had written down aeronautical engineer, radio or mom. Those are my, those are my three passions and those are so close together.

Speaker 1:

They have so much to do with each other. Completely similar, seriously, um, and that's how it started. I went to UT Tyler for their engineering program, lost my professor and my grandmother the same day, dropped out of college, moved in with my grandpa, cause everyone wants to be roommate with their grandpa at 19.

Speaker 2:

Everyone.

Speaker 1:

But I'm so thankful for that season because that's when Scott came home from a different tour. He came home from Iraq. Yeah, I'm kind of going backwards here for a second and I was a Hooters girl because you got to pay a real sense of help.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I have a cute butt, so it makes sense. Worked at Hooters. Scott came in and all the Hooter girls were like, if you don't take that guy at table 34, we're going to take that guy. I was like I think I know that guy, and so, real quick, I'm about to blow everyone's minds. I married my ex-boyfriend's uncle.

Speaker 2:

Wait a minute, Hold, hold your porch light.

Speaker 1:

Hold hold your cocktail, I know.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to need a dry eraser. Okay, stop, let's back up here.

Speaker 1:

Okay, we're hootering. I had to make you like me first, with the whole military sob story, yeah, and then, and then, okay, okay. So when I left for UT Tyler, I was dating this guy who got accepted to A&M.

Speaker 2:

Okay, we had been on, and off through high school broke up. Yeah, obviously Aggie.

Speaker 1:

Seriously.

Speaker 2:

I'm just thinking hello, house divided yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I was like I'm going to make that Facebook account because that's when Facebook happened. And I get this DM from Scott, my now husband, who's like hey girl. And I was like, hey, no, Weird. Yeah, Cause he, even though they're two years apart by blood, he's an uncle, Cause he came to anybody out there who got a vasectomy go get checked. My husband came 10 years after his sister because the dad, his dad, didn't go back and get checked after. Thankful for that, but also yikes leftover.

Speaker 1:

nemo's a little bit okay and uh scott was born and super cute guy, but I was like dude, it's weird. No, um, and then all that happened lost my professor, lost my grandma, moved back home. He just happened to be home after a deployment with some money to spend and a hooters bar to spend it in, yeah, and so I was like I think that's scotty, that's what we used to, that's what we call him. Yeah, and yes, scotty doesn't know is like his ultimate pet peeve. So the intro to this podcast needs to be scotty doesn't know yeah, 100, hey, we will.

Speaker 2:

We will grab little snippets, we will be talking about all kinds of things, and then we come up with what to call it, and then I think you may have just nailed it.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, um so yeah, I married my ex-boyfriend's uncle, Been married for 14 years. He was deployed, I had that baby and was taking online classes, Literally like what am I doing with myself? A friend was posting about a product on Facebook that it sounded like something I needed, but it's one of those like bless her heart moments. Yeah, Because how many of you have been scammed before? How many of you bought something on the internet and you're like that doesn't really work too.

Speaker 2:

Right, that doesn't really be true, right.

Speaker 1:

That was me Total hater, proud hater. I mean I'm like openly mocked it and then I bought it and significantly helped me. I was on 75 milligrams of Zoloft and feeling like trash, just straight garbage. I just would sit on my couch, my baby would be like doing his little baby jungle gym thing on the floor.

Speaker 1:

And I would just be like is today over yet? Yeah, scott got stressed and was like you're different. Yeah, started taking that. They were gut health supplements. Start taking them consistently. Felt totally different. Felt like me again, cause when you're 24, you're not supposed to feel 84. No, not at all. And it came with a business model which is direct sales, very similar to influencers that we all know and love. Um, if you love something, you're going to talk about it, and where you're going to talk about it the internet the internet and that's what I started doing, and that was in 2014.

Speaker 1:

So I've been doing that for a decade. It's kind of weird, that's crazy and uh, that's what led to becoming a millionaire by the age of 30. Um, and just going after big, freaky dreams that I wouldn't have had. Right, no, we lived credit card, credit card like going to Chipotle and getting guac was extra and a fight later. Yeah, he was like girl, did you have to get the guac?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I did. Yeah, that's good, yeah, right, so yeah, that's kind of the little backstory. So advice for anybody that's out there and that I mean it takes a special person obviously to become somebody that can one have the willpower to work from home is a totally different ball game. Two, you have to think about direct sales. I mean that's what would be your advice for anybody that's out there that says no, I can't do it, or I just don't have the, the willpower that I mean there's so much involved to get to where you are.

Speaker 1:

Let's give some. Let me tighten my ponytail.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, make sure the horns stay down, because there's that one side. Let's think about that for a minute. I mean, what would you? I know me personally when I changed my life as far as working, driving to the place, working the six in the morning to seven and eight at night, to traveling and working for myself and working basically from home. But I was on the road a lot, but I was on the road a lot.

Speaker 2:

It took um to get up in the morning and, whether you're you're at home that day, get out of your pajamas, put on you don't necessarily have to do the whole makeup thing and whatever, cause I'm not a big makeup person anyways but it just to just to change your outfit, wash your face, brush your teeth. You know. It kind of goes back into the when mom says you don't make sure you have on clean underwear because you're going to be in the car wreck or whatever. And you know I mean, if you shit yourself when you hit the windshield, then that's your own damn problem. I mean, but at least don't show up with, you know, four day old shit stains in your drawers. I mean, come on now, you know. So I mean that was really a point for me that was valuable, that would help. So you know, if anybody is feeling like you know I've got to get out of this funk or I can't work from home, and I guess, and you know, covid and all that changed a whole lot for everybody. It really did.

Speaker 2:

That's when your day drinkers went to day drinking, night drinking A drinking, b drinking. Third shift drinking night drinking a drink and a drink. And this third shift drinking you know, whatever. So, but there's gotta be you being one, the age that you decided to do that as a huge factor. Um, two, um.

Speaker 1:

Throw some pointers at everybody out there that I mean there are days that putting on a brawl is a lot a lot.

Speaker 1:

That's a lot Um mental health, especially for moms, and in motherhood, that season of life it's like every season you're you're grieving a loss of someone that's still alive and growing up, but like they don't need you anymore or they need you fully. And that was a lot. I'm the oldest of four siblings and so I never wanted children. I used to like. I told my mom all the time like I'm going to be a bartender, I love people. I love like interacting, but like motherhood, man like.

Speaker 1:

I have three siblings. They called me the other mother, and so having my own children and three like officially outnumbered um, it's like okay, how can I provide for them but also be present, but also kind of have my own thing, and that is why I like this type of job was because it was a work from home job where I set the pace.

Speaker 1:

And for those that are skeptical of network marketing, it is no different than going to Target and finding a pair of cute flip flops and you go and you tell your bestie like, hey, these are on sale for $20 at Target. Or going to Home Depot and picking out a paint color for all my do it yourselfers.

Speaker 1:

Like I made zero dollars flipping three farm houses and an RV, like zero dollars, telling people, hey, this color gray is going to look a lot better in light versus this color gray, zero dollars. But you want to come to me and be like Emily, I'm not pooping. Great, I got a solution and here's a probiotic. I made $4,000 in one week and that was from building a residual income through this direct sales model. And moms can do it. I mean men can do it too. But like my network, my people are moms. Because you're tired and you're exhausted and you need money just to contribute for extras. Maybe that's a mani pedi for you, maybe it's select ball for your kid rodeo, whatever you're into, yeah, and I mean I told you all guac was extra.

Speaker 1:

We don't have money for extras and so I like nice things, I like shiny things, right, and my husband knows that, so he's like girl, we're going to have to change some things up and I was like well, what if I went back to work, which he was like we can't afford childcare, right, I was like, but what if I can stay home? So he was. I was skeptical at first, then I did the dang thing.

Speaker 1:

Then he was skeptical because I'm like corporate America is the biggest pyramid scheme of all time. Do you not have a CEO and a regional manager and a manager and a power trip and coworker? And then you, do you not?

Speaker 1:

And they've done that and driving around, you were saying you were in your car all the time. Statistics say that we humans spend at least 19 hours of our life in our car for employment purposes and I'm like, no, I could spend 19 hours on a beach. I could spend 19 hours, you know, at a ballpark for crying out loud. But, that is not where I want to just spend that kind of time In your car, in your car, in your car.

Speaker 2:

We talk about it all the time. We just came, you know we're in the music scene and so there's a lot of time spent traveling. There's a lot of time the guys spend on the road. You know they talk about, well, we're going from point A to point B. Well, we've been sleeping in bunks for this and that. Well, in the last couple of months I've been driving to gig to gig and what have you and, and have brought bunches of them home with me.

Speaker 2:

And just going through the travels from Austin to San Antonio, we just keep talking. We, I just had to go. I had an eye appointment yesterday. I had to go have my eyes dilated and all this nonsense. And, um, nick had to drive me back and we were talking about how it does not matter what time of day and 19 hours sounds like a lot, it's not. And you think what normally would take for us just to run? My appointment was right there in Live Oak, literally 10, 15 minutes, especially if you take the back way from where you and I live. It's nothing to get there, girl. We were on the road an hour and some change just to get to right there at 1604.

Speaker 1:

And it's insane. So imagine the freedom of finding success in something you absolutely love doing. You love music. Then you will find ways to passionately pursue that. You love your babies but you also like your mani pedis. You will find a way to work that business. And I think something that comes to mind all the time when it comes to like I want like is that selfish If I pursue something for mommy, if I pursue something for, is that selfish? 100% no.

Speaker 2:

I was raised by a single mom.

Speaker 1:

Yes, she worked her ass off. Yep. She taught me work ethic. She taught me how to say no and set healthy boundaries. She taught me you show up for your kids and and and then you show them how to show up Right. So as a as a senior in high school, I had four jobs. I worked at our church. I worked at I don't even know if anybody will remember this store in the mall. It's called Libby Lou and, like you did like little. It was like before, it was now. It's sweet and sassy, I think.

Speaker 2:

Well, that is so crazy that you're talking about that, because yesterday, when we were going to San Antonio, um, nick, she was literally describing the whole Libby Lou and the sweet and sassy thing, because we drove by and she's like, oh my gosh, there's a sweet and sassy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, when you don't have littles in that age group anymore, you're like, oh, that's the thing. And I'm like what?

Speaker 2:

is that? Is that like a good margarita, or what is it? I mean, we're going to go have one. You need one after.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we used to do little girls up dues and let them lip sync to hannah montana that was like my, that's exactly she did bring the whole hannah montana thing.

Speaker 2:

I feel like you were. Were you in the car with us yesterday? No, that, I'm pretty sure you were, that's so crazy.

Speaker 1:

No, but that's what I did so crazy. Um, I'll never forget the day I got a job at hooters. I was working at johnny rocket and you know, there you wear khaki pants, a white, a full apron, a bow tie and a cone hat Right, super sexy.

Speaker 2:

So attractive. I'm such a visual person. Yeah, I'm going to need you to relive that for me later, these 1950s dances I'm going to be that for Halloween. Please.

Speaker 1:

And and I just like I was like I don't, I'm not making good money.

Speaker 2:

Right, and as my mom, it could have been the hat, not, I mean, I don money right and as my mom, it could have been the hat, not I mean, I don't know I don't know, just gonna throw that out there thoughtful.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I uh, I just remember putting I got the job at hooters. I put the uniform in my purse yeah, I went home, yeah I was terrified to tell my very southern baptist mother yeah, and I was like mom, I found a way to help us make money um legally and with my clothes on and she was like okay, let me show you, this outfit, my out, my uniform goes right here.

Speaker 1:

Yes, she goes, your uniform fits in your purse. I was like yes, ma'am, mind you, I didn't even wear like a two-piece until I was 17, so she was like my lord.

Speaker 2:

you stuck her straight in the hospital, girl. She was just like Mortified.

Speaker 1:

Okay, hold on. So I like, get out the orange shorts, get out. If you scroll far enough on my Facebook, you'll find it yeah, the pantyhose. Yeah, the white Skechers, sneakers, the whole. I mean, it's a vibe, right. Anyways, I just remember I put it on and she was, she cried.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, of course she did?

Speaker 1:

I know your mom not even kidding that she kept me humble.

Speaker 2:

She was you don't even have hooters. Yeah, first of all, wait for it. They have these other things on the web called chicken. That's what I? Yeah, right up in there with my miraculous bra from victoria yeah girl, oh man, that's went from size a to 48 triple d overnight, yeah, overnight, that's why scott sat in my section of course he did then table 34 the first time we ever like messed around.

Speaker 1:

I had to put the chicken cutlets on the dresser, oh because, it was after work and he was like what?

Speaker 2:

what's happening? Should those be on the grill? A little olive oil, maybe some salt and pepper, like babe? I was like I don't. I don't really have big boobs.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no you have a. You have a cute butt again. Right there it goes yeah, and I was like yeah, and he goes. Wait, do all the girls do that?

Speaker 2:

I was like about 90 percent of us, yeah. And he was like it's a job, don't have hooters.

Speaker 1:

No, no, it's knees and I was like don't smell them right it's like they smell like wings. They're so disgusting yeah, but he was just like oh my god. So I mean, that was the, that was the beginning of a relationship.

Speaker 1:

Right, that's the beginning for sure I mean of course anybody that can set chicken cutlets on their end table but all but all that to say all that to say, um, I worked my butt off and learned at a young age, if I wanted a more out of life, I had to show up, and so for a lot of you, like you're already there, and so one of my favorite things at the gym where I work out it says you're here, you showed up, now show up.

Speaker 1:

And it's like one of my favorite things, cause it's like you're already here, you've already picked the thing that you're passionate about. Just show up, show consistently. Um, people like you're going to be told no a lot. So when, when I have women that come into my industry and they're like I want to do this, I want to do this, and like I can't get a sale, I'm like the difference between you and me is I've heard the word no a million more times than you, because after you get those no's, when you do get a yes, you're kind of like well, now what do I do?

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

They, they do want my product, they do want my service my song, whatever, and I'm like just expect the no. You know, as moms, we're told no or we say no to our kids, kids a million times over. But then we're told no in sales or whatever.

Speaker 2:

And now your heart's broken. Get over it.

Speaker 1:

Get over it, yeah, and so no, that's just like one of the biggest things I learned early on. And then just it like your creative genius. Like that's where I thrive. It gives me energy to create content. I'm so weird. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how weird I am and I like a vibe there. And then if you were to ask me to, you know, sit down and create a plan or a layout for women to learn, I'm like I don't know how to do that?

Speaker 1:

No, that's not how I do it. No, I could just like sit and just shoot off, you know but like I'm not, I'm not a teacher, but I can teach you, and so some of you are like, I'm not this, but I'm this.

Speaker 2:

find out what just lights you up. I was about to say the same thing. Find out what lights your candle, what, what is it that? That is your vibe, what strikes your vibe? What tickles your fancy? I mean, there's so many different things and what when you find that?

Speaker 2:

It's almost like one of the things that my son, I learned from my oldest one is um, you know, he played, talking about select baseball. He played select ball. I mean from the time the child you could play T-ball, way back when he was on the field and then went on to play select ball. They were one game away from the little league world series. I mean these kids, I mean we traveled all over, we did all the things in the baseball fields and but then the kid leaves high school, goes to college and what does he do? He plays college football.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, wait, what? What are you doing? Where's your bat? That's the wrong shoes. Yeah, you're wearing the wrong outfit. And it was the taste of the hit on the football field for him and it was that one hit that he got and it was the rush, it was the. I mean, it was everything. I mean it changed this child. They've been on a baseball field for 18 some odd years and then boom, he gets that one hit his sophomore year in high school and came over baseball. What, yeah, ned, could give two shits about the baseball game, like me going to bingo.

Speaker 1:

I used to go to the bars and I hang out with 67 year old why?

Speaker 2:

have you not taken me?

Speaker 1:

I have been begging someone to go. I want to.

Speaker 2:

I just want to yell at one time and want to. I want it to be real, Real money. I just want to hang and want to. I want it to be real, Real money.

Speaker 1:

I just want to hang. Yes, no, no, I'm for real. I didn't mean to change the subject, I just was like it's my porch, they're used to it.

Speaker 2:

We just be bop all over the place, it's true.

Speaker 1:

And you got to let your kids figure it out. You know, and you got to figure it out. You know if you want in on Tik TOK, you are buying things you don't need. And if you take that time evaluation and you sit down and you're like where's my time? Really go Like, take five minutes Time management.

Speaker 2:

Time management is huge and so many different things. I use it and think about it and I remind all of the kids that are with me all the time oh, look what I got done. That is adorable, that is so cute. But you know how long it took you to color that apple red? For fuck's sake. We've been. You've been sitting there staring at that apple for a week.

Speaker 1:

Oh, oh, come on now. I will never forget what changed my life, so there's that print button just print the damn thing out, don't color it.

Speaker 2:

There's that general let's go make your day in bed yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Speaker 1:

Read that book told me to read it. I didn't listen.

Speaker 2:

Natural life response and um but I did on my own time, not yours.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, thank you I'll do it because I want to. But I did find a different book by james clear called atomic habits. Love that book. Um, do the audible version. Let him read it to you. He's super sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor and so you just kind of laugh the whole time and you're like, damn dude, chill. But it's so good. And, um, he talks about creating this routine. So if you have kids, do they not thrive when you have a routine? Or they have their schedule in high school or centers and preschool and they, like you could ask my six-year-old right now, tell me about your day? And she's like, well, we do this, and then we do this, and then we do this, we have lunch, we do this, and then she'll go. We're at school for seven hours.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

But she knows what's filling in those seven hours. So, for us, the biggest thing ever that changed my life in 2018 was I started making my bed every day. I didn't care if Scott was still asleep in it. I would throw that pillow sham on his head and be like move, and I would make that bed because it was just one little ounce of control structure that I had in a house with three under three at one point, and I start to this day I still do.

Speaker 1:

We're in a cabin right now because we don't close on a new house till 30th and I literally I'm making this cabin bed and it just like. It's just like not even a checklist thing, it's just it's part of my routine. It is who I am just like I know I need to eat my protein, right, I need to drink my greens. But it's like now, because if I don't make my bed, y'all know what's gonna happen, right yeah I'm not gonna eat my protein, I'm gonna go get chick-fil-a for breakfast.

Speaker 1:

And then it's like you know, if you give a mouse a cookie, but like you're a bad way, and then this happens, and this happens, right, and then your kids come home and you're yelling, and they're yelling, you're filing for divorce the worst day ever, chaos, and you don't know why, and it's because you didn't make you damn it right, so make your bed that's what this whole podcast is about yeah, and so, okay, this is a perfect time to introduce our word of the day, because you know how we we started our little word of the day.

Speaker 2:

So, um, out of the gypsy, our word today is ruin some ruin some say it faster. No, I can't even say it slow. Stop yelling at me. Am so yeah, that that would make your whole day ruin some.

Speaker 1:

All I'm thinking about is because you didn't make your bed or ruin some see how many ways you can ruin some.

Speaker 2:

Everything they were they. They ruined some Mondays they ruined some. Wednesdays some days. They ruined some Fridays, which is a really piss you off.

Speaker 1:

I went to the car wash and just laid down the seat. 10 out of 10 don't recommend uh, laid down my seat because my daughter's car seats in the very back.

Speaker 2:

I drive a suburban.

Speaker 1:

It's black. I'm a black suv mom yeah, whatever that tiktok, trend is I'm her yeah, and so I laid down that seat and I mean it was ruined sometimes it was it was so bad so bad it was a whole.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

Of course, there was glitter you know she's making and creating and she likes shiny. She is 100 and thousand, 20 million percent.

Speaker 1:

Your daughter, yeah and which is exactly you did and you should be proud. She's cute as a 21 piece thing of play-doh, clay-doh, I don't even know. You gave it to her in the car I did I did, I did and now it's in my cup holder.

Speaker 2:

Now she's talking about how their car is ruined, some house, she ruins some.

Speaker 1:

Your car, it's a ruin some but uh, that's when, yeah, you said that word. Immediately I thought of my backseat. You're never gonna forget it.

Speaker 2:

No, never, I'm gonna teach, I feel like you need a small bumper sticker that says my backseat is ruinsome.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's how my husband that too, like you, ruin something, because I'll look at him and be like nine months, three times, you know, and he'll say my balls three times he's ruinsome. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2:

Let him know this whole episode was about you, Scott.

Speaker 1:

Scotty Boo yes.

Speaker 2:

You just ruined some you just ruined the whole thing. Well, that's some good advice and I think that is. You've been doing this now for how long 10 years?

Speaker 1:

in July 10 years in July, and it's not just me. We have a team of over 8000 men and women now that do this with me all over the world so US, new Zealand, canada, australia and it's so cool because it doesn't matter where you mom, like all moms are, it's a lot to put on a bra, like we're all there, okay, and especially right now. Um, inflation's crazy and people just need extra income. Like you don't have to go be an Uber Eats driver If you don't want to.

Speaker 2:

You could do something like direct, direct sales so I don't know everybody what the product is oh, so the products I use is plexus products.

Speaker 1:

They are an american company out of phoenix, arizona. Love them. Our headquarters is in scottsdale. We have manufacturers everywhere and you can drop ship product that makes you feel better, addresses the big blood sugars, inflammation, gut health and I I love I'm a sucker for a good subscription, whether it's Amazon, wherever I can get it, if you can just bring it to me.

Speaker 2:

I started on it years ago when, um, I have diverticulitis and if you don't know what that is, you need to look it up and I drove myself to I was, we were at our beach house and it's new year's Eve and all the kids come. If one comes, 50 of them come. And it's new year's eve and all the kids come. If one comes, 50 of them come, and it's like a tradition of ours. And so it was new year's day. It literally looked like there were dead bodies all over the place. It was just a bunch of 20 year olds all passed out from a really good time and I was on the couch and I was thinking, okay, I am either going to birth a child that I am not showing and that I cannot have because I have no insides, and I mean I was literally doing breathing, like whatever that breathing?

Speaker 2:

thing is all that nonsense and I'm thinking I have no, and I literally felt like somebody was just laying my insides. Drove myself to the ER. They did CAT scans blah, did cat scans, blah, blah. Come to find out I have diverticulitis.

Speaker 1:

And then boom and so and I've been on it text message hey, what's that plexus? What's?

Speaker 2:

that stuff and, yeah, I need it. Tell me direct, yeah. Yeah, you know how my quotes are. What's that shit you've been selling lately? Or that says that it makes you better? Yeah, and I did we straight up did a probiotic drug deal in the middle of lana park we did she rolled up I told her that she looked like kid rock with titties yeah, and it kind of stuck I don't know kind of made me feel good most people be offended by that. No, no, no, you're like rock on.

Speaker 1:

Let me just paint a picture. Let me just paint a picture. She gets out and you were wearing like a jumpsuit, kind of like what you have on right now more, more blue color and you had a hat that said be fucking nice. I did. That was my. That's my favorite hat that you wear. Yep, totally.

Speaker 2:

And scott was driving that hat. Yeah, he was like I just love her, like I just love that hat, like that is so that's something she would say to you, and I go straight to scarlet, goes nuts, because she's in the car seat, she goes straight straight and I was like thank God she can't read yet.

Speaker 1:

There was an animal in your car. Oh yeah, because my kids were like Mom, I swear there's a llama in the backseat. I'm like, well, you know she's got like 100. So it wouldn't surprise me. And you were like I need something, anything.

Speaker 1:

And so I hand you that product and I and you you, I think you paid cash that day and you were like, you were like, help me, subscribe, help me. And so then that relationship, like we bonded that day Cause if, if I have to help you with poop or your body of some sort, like I seen it all been there, done that Right. I mean from a boob job to an explant, to hysterectomy at 28,. Like my body has been through the ringer and then I got a mommy makeover because nobody wants a poop.

Speaker 1:

I didn't want poop, I can't speak for everybody, right? Maybe you do, maybe, but we've been through some things.

Speaker 2:

To each their own. Yeah, and.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, listen, if you are in your 20s, your collagen production is drastically declining. You definitely need a multivitamin, and it cannot be the Flintstones. You might as well eat construction paper and then you need to up your protein and you're going to. You're just going to be nicer. You are going to be so much nicer if you eat more protein. Um, especially the moms out there that are like I just hate everybody. You're hungry, You're hungry.

Speaker 2:

You just sandwich this. Yeah, seriously, take your vitamins and so that's where I come in.

Speaker 1:

Um, I share a lot of everything I do on social media. I'm always at a ballpark and make a lot of my content at a ballpark. And then, um, scott and I have this just thriving business that we've done for the last 10 years. He has his two. We're those network marketing people. We've earned the cars, kind of like mary kay has pink cadillacs, plexus has the plexus lexus. Um, I opted in for the suburban because my kids are ruined, some because yeah, they'll ruin a lexus.

Speaker 2:

You're just making my gypsy nary so happy right now.

Speaker 1:

I just, yeah, I love it, I love it, that's what we've been doing, and you can be successful. You can find success just in the craziest of things, and for me it was network marketing yeah I'm very proud of that industry. It's a multi-billion dollar industry. You should be. I mean, it's very just.

Speaker 2:

I was really, really excited that you accepted my day to come hang out and take time to come hang out on my porch. It's going to be real. I know, and we I'm really proud of this We've been, we've been very we've been. Accent that and hey, next time we're fully, we're, next time we're bringing kel, because y'all know my kel, kel and this one, and I don't know that the porch is ready for both of you at the same time nobody's ready. No bras will be worn. No, hey, we can do whatever we want.

Speaker 1:

It's my porch the bangs will be banging and the girls, girls will be talking with their sexes.

Speaker 2:

But I think it's really cool that you have done what you've done and it's very impressive. A mom of three making a shit ton Gangsta money is what we say Uh-huh, gang, gang.

Speaker 1:

There it is. That's what my 10-year-old says a lot.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, whatever. Okay, we can put that in the gypsy nary.

Speaker 1:

Great, yeah, yeah, that's a whole nother episode, it's a whole nother episode, but I think it is when.

Speaker 2:

So it's, and you guys, you go on trips.

Speaker 1:

Yep, we're about to go to Vegas and then we're going to Maui. I kind of love that about my company. They saw the wildfires and the crazy things that happened over there and my company was like we got to help their economy and so we're going back to Maui. We went to Mexico before. I mean kind of go all over the place. And so if you're a mom and you're like I want a vacation, I want a mani-pedi, I like setting goals, then this type of industry is for you. I mean, you just show up and you learn and you're going to be, you're going to suck, you're going to be so bad at it in the beginning I was. I look back at old content and videos. I'm like get me off the internet you know, yeah, but now I'm like no, because that's just.

Speaker 1:

That was a part of me learning and it's a part of growth.

Speaker 2:

I mean, it's just life in general.

Speaker 1:

That's all my kids yeah I'm like sterling is playing select ball. He's not the best, right, it's a challenge for him. Yes, his mother's child, yeah. And so I'm like you know, there's this little audio on tiktok and it's like I don't suck, I'm just new at everything. And so now he's he'll say that jokingly, but it's because I'm like dude, you don't suck, you're just new, you're just new yeah right. New moms, yeah, newlyweds right. Whatever it is, you're new at new business owners like you don't suck, you, just gotta learn something you just lack a little bit of knowledge, it's all right though it's all right to fall.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

We can take her up to the ranch.

Speaker 1:

New Braunfels eligible bachelors are all going to show up in their skinny jeans and fitted hats. And we'll have.

Speaker 2:

Leroy, interview him. The camel yeah. If he doesn't lick you, you're out. Yeah. Or if he doesn't talk to you or if he doesn't smile at you, you're unacceptable.

Speaker 1:

We have a selfie. My husband and I have this selfie the first time we went to her, because we were like standing in the middle of your ranch, like there's a lot going on. You were building your she-shack, I was building my she-shed, did you just call it?

Speaker 2:

a shack. Our relationship is over. I ruined it.

Speaker 1:

You ruined some.

Speaker 2:

She-shed, the whole she-shed. She just turned into a shack.

Speaker 1:

You're a shithead. My bad, she was building her she-shed. You had just gotten those new dogs yeah, the big ones.

Speaker 2:

Dogs from Romania. Yeah, my monster dogs. They're bigger than.

Speaker 1:

Volkswagen, they're bigger than yeah and Leroy yeah, came walking on up. I was taking a selfie with a different animal and he literally photo bombed and he's making this face like so funny. Can you please do that again for everybody? I will never. No, she will not. But Scott was like like that is a great representation of the camel.

Speaker 2:

So yeah, you've never been, I suggest well, and then you carried on. I mean, you've mentioned your butt several times and how cute it is real it is real and she says they've just never seen a butt like this and I was like, uh, you're right, you're absolutely right you're very blessed.

Speaker 1:

My kid's called a donkey butt yeah, so there's that.

Speaker 2:

Keep keeping me humble, see, you know, and I have nothing I just fit in on your farm. That's all because they're like what in the hell is that? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

they've never seen anything like that. Like yeah, yeah, we all are.

Speaker 2:

We all are. I mean, let's all be honest here, yeah, yeah, it's a full-on thing.

Speaker 1:

I think of something like super random besides. Oh so, for those of you out there with fake boobs, had those for years, got really sick. Literally was like special diet, doing this, doing that, and my doctor was like just throwing this out there, you may be someone that has BII and so I got my my tits out, yep and 2021. And it literally changed my entire face, like I thought I just had a cute squishy face. Yeah, turns out my body was mad at me, yeah, and I'm like look at this, I got cheekbones again. But, um, best thing that ever happened to me, which? Um, this is really weird, but my grandfather used to say more than a mouthful is too much and um he was very up.

Speaker 1:

He was he think about that for a minute. May he rest in peace. But he was there. He took care of me after I got my boob job because scott deployed, and so nothing like being a 19 year old with fake tits. Can't wipe yourself or move your arms above your shoulders. Yeah, and he was my roommate, my grandpa's roommate, and he was like I've been whopping your ass since you were a toddler, I can do it now and I was like poppy, no no, this is awkward I will have poop, but just no, this is so ruined, some of our relationship.

Speaker 1:

But I just think about that now because I have like a little bit of like a vanity thing going on. I have had fake boobs for 12 years yeah and was like filling my kardashian self out, you know, and then didn't have any. And so now you know, when you're 34, and you're like skinny fat and you're like I work out when I have, when I can Right my kids. We're at a ball field every day of the week.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And so I'm like in this weird season, and then my husband's like you good, yeah, you got enough. Yeah, you got enough butt to make up for them. So yeah. It's all good, it's good, but if you're like, what's wrong with me? So what made you?

Speaker 2:

what? What led that?

Speaker 1:

I mean, what were your crazy, crazy joint issues Like borderline rheumatoid arthritis? They were about to diagnose me with that and I was only 28, 29. And I was like there's no way. I was like there's no way, right. I was like I'm addressing gut health, I'm addressing this like yes, you know what I do for a living right like but your body is mad. Yeah, we eliminated dairy, tried to eliminate sugars the best that we could.

Speaker 2:

It's hidden in everything oh, it's kind of hard cut out alcohol.

Speaker 1:

I've been sober for almost 18 months and I'm like what else can we do? And a friend of mine got hers out. I flew or actually I didn't fly, I drove to arkansas dr eric right, um, he was, so he's a girl dad.

Speaker 1:

He was just so thoughtful and he was like I don't know if anybody's listening to you or not, but like I think you're making a great, like a great choice for your body. So he made I had to sit in there and I had to make a pro and cons list of like titties, no titties. That's what the list said. And it just turned out no titties, is it. And so got them removed, literally, woke up out of you know anesthesia and I felt like I could run a mile and he told me he was like you're going to wake up.

Speaker 1:

All my patients say this You're going to wake up. You feel so good and you're going to wake up. You feel so good and you're going to like. No, like you just had crazy surgery Like chill. Yeah, relax, she did not chill. No, where's my narrator? Yeah, she in fact had zero chill. Yeah, I went to a casino that night.

Speaker 1:

We were staying at a hotel, because obviously we're not Arkansas people, and so we're staying at this hotel that had a casino attached and had my drains, wore my husband's giant ass Nike sweatshirt. There you go, walk into this casino, win five grand and then go to bed. Hello, scott was like girl, maybe them implants were bad luck. So, yeah, it was so crazy and like if you do follow me on Instagram, I have a highlight bubble that says explant. Click on it Because, yes, I was blonde back then, but even more so like, look at my face, it's so puffy and miserable. And then the next day, like post-surgery, I'm sitting there like this and like immediately I have cheekbones.

Speaker 2:

That is so crazy because you know normally after a surgery you're swollen everywhere. You're swollen everywhere, Just from all the fluids they pump through your body. Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1:

Wow, I felt so good and after that obviously came back home to Texas, we were doing great Um. For the next year I had to focus on like detox and you know cause? Basically your body builds up scar tissue around an implant, no matter what it is boobs like anything, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Gage, my oldest just had shoulder surgery and he had underneath his he just had scar tissue from and I was like what you never even had, like what happened. But it's just from the football and the pads and the beating and the beating and the beating and they just literally removed scar tissue out of his chest. That literally.

Speaker 1:

Mine looked like a placenta, so did his. It's so weird. So did his and so, and I have my implants in like a tubenta. So did his. It's so weird. So did his and so, and I have my implants in like a tub in the top of my closet. Scarlett carried them around for like a few days and was like mom, they're so squishy, are these going to come out of my boobs? I was like no, yeah.

Speaker 1:

We'll talk about that when you're a little bit older. She just was like so traumatized, right, right, um. And then my middle child, the drains, because they're just so gross they're so gross mom can you? Can you put on a jacket? Yeah, I was like yes, I can put on a jacket now will you talk to me?

Speaker 2:

yes, yeah, those were disgusting.

Speaker 1:

I'm like thank you, gentry. Yeah, so, um, anyways, healed a good six to eight months. Um, I have very minimal scarring and I feel really, really good, and that led to walking, which led to running, and then Scott and I did our first half marathon in. December and y'all I had triple G's, Like they were massive, like Pamela Anderson boobs on this little five, three body and I ran. I hadn't ran since probably high school I mean I had no desire to run, I'm running. You better be running, because someone's coming after us yeah.

Speaker 1:

So we ran this half marathon and I mean I remember getting like we trained for two months like not nothing extreme, because I was like this is just for me, like this isn't for yeah, um, and we're like at mile nine and I didn't want to die, I didn't want to kill my husband. I was just like I got mile nine yeah and stopped and scott was like don't stop, your feet are gonna be like right, don't stop, don't and so we, and we finished that hobbled around downtown san antonio.

Speaker 1:

It was the rock and roll race and literally for two days could not walk. We army crawled around our house because your your whole, everything, every muscle just like curls up inside. So my kids thought it was hilarious because they just got away with everything, cause we could cause y'all could not move, yeah, and um it was just a really cool moment for us as a couple to do it together. Him being in the Marine Corps. He ran for years.

Speaker 2:

Right so, but no, I'm not running anywhere.

Speaker 1:

It's a really cool thing for us to do and probably won't do one again, right, but hey.

Speaker 2:

Not, I didn't. I do not identify as a runner. There's that bucket list and you checked it off and you did it, and you, I mean yeah.

Speaker 1:

Never found it. No, so now we're going to go back to lifting heavy things and putting them back down, because that's more our speed, that's more, yeah, like that one choice back when I was 19. Right, this choice postpartum, you know, after three kids with like saggy fake boobs.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then now it's like the itty bitty city committee and we eat for it. That's awesome.
