Yeah. I didn't, I didn't realize that either.
There was a lot of focus on it. I very much felt like there's an entire world here. As I mentioned, just three scenarios that was not focused on. Again, I can't speak to why. I'm assuming it's clickbait headlines and attention getting because it is a newer religion. People don't understand it. So they will click that over something else.
Um, I was disappointed in the fact that, you know, with, with almost everyone, I was happy to have the conversation, but I'm only going to have it with you if it's genuine and it's interest. It's not this salacious type seeking opportunity. And so that's where, when I know you're going to do that, like at the picnic,
If you've never bothered to get to know me and my experience with you thus far is these little annoying jabs and taking down my brand, you think I'm going to open up to you about my most personal and private beliefs? Like, who the hell would? Yeah. You know, so it was like a little laughable to me that they're like, you should have opened up more. Oh, really? You made it safe for me?
I don't think so. And so that's how I kind of felt about it.
Okay.
Was it the reunion?
It makes total sense. So I'll say a couple of things. I think that when you have any activity that involves millions of people, there are going to be some dissatisfied customers, right? No one is discounting that. I can only speak from my experience of having done it and applied it to my life for the last 20 years of what it's done for me.
I also think that I am never, ever, ever uncomfortable by anyone asking me anything. You could ask me all the crazy questions about everything you've heard any time of day. It is only when I know I'm on a reality TV show, they're going to cut this. They're going to have someone say something behind my back about it. And going in, you know, there are these preconceived ideas.
And I said it last night at the reunion. This show is not the format to answer everyone's questions in terms of, am I going to get a fair shot? And I think you can see I didn't get a fair shot. So my observations were probably correct. But if you wanted to ask me whatever you wanted, if we wanted to sit down and have a drink and you go, okay, this is everything.
Oh my gosh, I'm happy to clear that up because it's the misconceptions about it that I think people... do want to know and rightfully so, you know, and, and one of the things that Brent didn't like, I was like, read a book, you know, go to the website, it's free. And she thought that was weird, but I'm like, but that's the, that's the source of the information, you know?
So I'm, I'm never scared or uncomfortable, but it does come down to intention behind it. Is it to know and be curious and want to clarify, or is it to be snide and dig and try and, you know, you know, make someone wrong, if that makes sense.
I mean, we'd have to sit here and go through every one of them.
Raquel brought up, like, I have to give a percentage of my salary. I texted her. I was like, by the way, ma'am, I don't give anything to anyone that I don't want to give to. So let's just be clear. She's like, well, good, because that would be a lot of money. And it was just like, no, I don't have to give a part of my salary to anything. It's my money.
And so I think that there's... Again, everyone has different questions, but I can tell you that the things that were asked of me, at least from the cast, that I answered, whether with Jessalyn or Kel, no, those things are not true. And for me, again... It helped me overcome extreme depression, depression that I thought I could never get out of.
It helped me be a better mom and communicator and raise children that, you know, while they're not perfect, neither am I, are good, happy kids. Okay.
Well, my book, Fearless, is out in paperback. I guess you could say I was a bit fearless going in and getting out of Roni. And what my goal was in writing this book was to have 22 very easy tools that you can remember when you're facing things that scare the fuck out of you. And do you proceed? And so after 20 years in business, I felt like I had enough insane stories to tell.
So I'm telling you these rules through my stories of failure and cringeworthy moments and the lessons I learned. And then I have my podcast, which continues to be exceptionally exciting with the guests I have. And I'm just working on my 20th anniversary, which is all year long. We're just going to party.
Thank you guys for having me. Thank you, Rebecca.
