Like I looked around at my family and our house and I'm just like, this isn't enough for me. Like I'm going to need some, like a more consistent, a housekeeper. We're going to need, I'm going to need a housekeeper. I don't know what my parents were thinking. They had six children. I was watching the Brady Bunch, you know, with the six kids and the mother and the father and they had Alice.

I was watching the Brady Bunch, you know, with the six kids and the mother and the father and they had Alice.

I was like, where's our fucking Alice? And I just, you know, there was a materialistic sense when I was young because my parents, we lived in this kind of middle class, upper middle class neighborhood. And we were not on the same level as our neighbors financially. And that stuck out. So there was a materialistic aspect, which is, you know, not... the only driving force, nor should it ever be.

And then there was a feeling of, I have so much to say. And it was filled, I had so much angst as a child, especially after my brother died. I was so angry and no mechanism to understand how to digest that anger until much later in life. So it was a lot of delayed grief. But in those moments, I was motivated by my anger

discontent you know what I mean I was like this is I am going like my childhood was a placeholder and even though it was filled with all these vivid beautiful memories and my family I have this big huge family that we're all so close and we have these great relationships except for a couple right now because of the election um but you know most of them I um I I just had a motivating like anger.

You know, there's this book that I love called Letting Go by David Hawkins. Have you read that? No. Okay. It's very powerful and it's metaphysical and it's really about your energy.

But he talks about the levels of like kinesiology when you're in your most, you had your highest vibration, you know, and this is measurable scientific stuff, but obviously it's not as talked about all the time as other things are. So when you're in anger, you are actually accomplishing a lot because you're motivated by your anger.

It's not the highest vibration to be in, but the vibration right above anger is courage. So once you can get rid of your anger and turn your anger into action, it becomes courage. And I think that was very true for most of my adolescence. I was so torn. I was emotionally stuck at that nine-year-old little girl level because I didn't really compute my brother's death in a real way.

I didn't have therapy. I didn't talk to anyone. And that drove me, that like combined with my family life. And just, I just thought like, I'm going to be a woman who stands out and stands up, you know, and I'm going to figure out how I'm going to do it. And when I moved to LA, when I was 19 years old, I didn't, my aunt and uncle lived there.

They had nine children and they lived in, in, on Beverly Glen Boulevard. And I moved in with them. I had no money. I drove across country by myself and I hustled. I didn't have any connections in this industry. I didn't know anyone except for my aunt and uncle. And they were not in this business. And I remember my aunt sitting down at the kitchen table and I said, I'm going to become famous.

And I said, I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I have a lot to say and I'm going to help a lot of people. And my aunt looked at me and said, well, you better lose some weight. And I looked at her and I said, okay. I just like, you know, okay, not okay, I have to lose some weight.
