Speaker 1:
Good afternoon and welcome to everybody. The podcast which shares stories that highlight people in life, that make the world an interesting place, which ultimately ties us all together in unique and wonderful ways. And who am I, you might ask. I would be the headwrapped socialite Weith mom, micro-influencer in the fashion and etiquette world, but on this podcast I will be introducing you to some people who I've had the opportunity to meet along my journey, who have helped enrich me in my life in beautiful ways and who I hope will do the same in yours. Hello, hello, cool what's going on.
Speaker 2:
Oh my God, Katrina.
Speaker 3:
Is this thing one? Is this thing one? I was With this right you are doing this right. Guys, I'm so happy that we finally made it here.
Speaker 1:
I am on the road. I can see the soccer field from where I am, so if I get excited and I start screaming, just overlook that part. Okay, just joking. Okay, I love it. Yeah, no, I'm excited to chat with you Three two one I first met today's guest within the fashion modeling sphere. There was something electric when he walked into the room, what I like to call the magic of the moment. I am so excited to share with you and welcome to today's episode a very talented fashion visionary and model, coupe de Ville.
Speaker 3:
I have found that core thing that brings out the best in me, and I have continued to celebrate and drive everything I do, because as humans, we're not always able to play the part. So it's easier to incorporate your expression, incorporate your creativity into everything you do, regardless of the circumstance, regardless of hate coming your way, regardless of things that are frustrating, and I love myself endlessly. I had to push that to the people around me energy into everything I do. Through that, I've been able to discover this beautiful person underneath it all and put my modeling, push that into my styling, my art, how I portray myself, because that's a message of love and spread a message of creativity. I think that they can really only just be yourself and nobody else is going to stop you besides you.
Speaker 2:
I have to remind her that we need not have the perfect environment to step into it and enlighten state of being, and, in fact, you need not have the perfect teacher, that it's within us and it's inherent in the essence of the foundation of who we are that we go on this journey. I really love how, a minute ago, you said certain relationships will be the key to unlock whatever evolution you're ready for and to really trust into that space, to trust into life, to trust into the timing of your life.
Speaker 1:
Okay. So now that we figured out it was Death Leopard, okay. So I know the listeners would want to know because I want to know 90s rap what would be your go-to song. You're not going to go way back because if we're going to take it back, we got to take it back.
Speaker 5:
I'm like I got to look at my list here.
Speaker 1:
That's fair.
Speaker 5:
That's fair. That's fair. Like I don't even know, I mean I get into like Salt Me Pepper.
Speaker 1:
I was thinking Salt Pepper.
Speaker 5:
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what I'm thinking. Of course they're alphabetical by song. Hold on, hold on, I hope I got this. I mean, that's good, I tried. There's another one on the took of my time and I can't think of it right now. I do have to say it's not 90s rap, but there's one. New kids on the block oh, that's good. Yes, that was like my first concert, new kids on the block when I was in, you know, junior high. Who did you go with? My neighbor, her mom.
Speaker 1:
Very cool.
Speaker 5:
So super fun. And then I probably didn't go to another concert for 15, 20 years. But recently didn't you go to new kids?
Speaker 1:
on the block again, See I knew that.
Speaker 5:
I knew them, since they've come around again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, two or three times. Yeah, I've gone with a good friend of mine. Yeah, I was going to say I was going to say Nelly, new kids on the block, coistamaine. Well, paula Abdul was supposed to come more time and then she didn't come.
Speaker 1:
Oh, okay, debbie Gibson or Tiffany.
Speaker 5:
Yeah, she was, maybe both of them actually.
Speaker 2:
Okay.
Speaker 5:
Because they are the. Maybe the last one we went to was like mixed tape was like the name of it.
Speaker 4:
Oh the dub.
Speaker 5:
So there's a lot of those. Debbie Gibson, tiffany kids like okay, my childhood.
Speaker 1:
So, listeners, as you can see, I told you she was a real one and I'm going to sneak in a quick story about there. Was one time my hubby and I we went to a Janet Jackson concert. Right, we think we're just going there, we're just going to have our good old time with Miss Janet. So as Miss Janet is playing, there's these screens I think there were like three screens, you know just projecting the concert. So all of a sudden the screen projects the crowds, and I mean there were like thousands upon thousands, upon thousands of, have thousands of people there. Okay, Just to put things into perspective, all of a sudden I'm looking at the screen and it flashes on people, but then it flashes somewhere else and then, really quick, I'm like I think I just saw Tony and Jenny. And I tap my husband and I say I think, because he was looking away. And I said I think Tony and Jenny are here at this Janet Jackson concert. And he was like no, I said I'm telling you I think I saw them.
Speaker 1:
But, listeners, if you know me, you know I always think I know somebody. That's why people say mind your business, trina. But all of a sudden I text Jenny and I'm like dude, are you at the Janet Jackson concert? And she texts back right away. She's like I'm here, all caps is like I'm here, are you here? And I'm like I just saw you and Tony on the screen, so yeah, so I mean, you're always going to see somebody somewhere. And again we just digress because yeah, but that's, but, that's our, but, that's our relationship. We just digress and we come back and we do it all again. So, as we go right back into the interview, that was like a commercial break. We'll say that it was our commercial break. Okay, I was thinking earlier. You know, as you were first talking, I was thinking of your mom and I was thinking of my mom and I imagine them friends and sitting across from each other and having this conversation. That's pretty cool. And I. That is a really amazing thought.
Speaker 6:
Cause they would have been friends For sure they would have been friends.
Speaker 1:
I love that yeah. I love that, as I like, sit in this moment and grateful for our friendship and yeah.
Speaker 6:
Thank you for helping me see things about myself I didn't see. I always want to be better, do better in life. You're changing the world. Thank you, you know.
Speaker 1:
So are you Okay? So I'm gonna switch this a little bit, as I gather myself together. Another thing that you and I resonate on is our love for cheerleading, and you know, I was not gonna forget this because I'm telling you okay.
Speaker 1:
So another thing that I want to do this is sounds so bizarre, but it's not bizarre. But we're gonna get a group of us who were cheerleaders. Our kids are gonna be so mad. But let me tell you, kids, we're about to go viral, but I would love to pull like a bunch of us who were cheerleaders.
Speaker 1:
There's plenty of us Right and just do like every now and then, like get together and do some cheers. We don't have to do like the jumps. I bet you you can still do some back lifts, like let's not pretend and splits, but I think it would be like the coolest thing. We're gonna get our sweatsuits with our names on the back, but I think that would be like the coolest thing. I mean, how much fun would we have.
Speaker 6:
It's funny, I picked up cheerleading because I used to be a gymnast growing up and as an eighth grader the gymnastics club in Rochester just closed and I was done doing gymnastics Exactly, and I was like getting ready to go into high school and I'm like you know, actually I mean it was I joke about it now, but I mean it was devastating.
Speaker 6:
That was my identity, just like I watch my own kids with you know their identity as a soccer player, as a hockey player, and I get that. I remember I, you know I identified as being a gymnast growing up and all of a sudden that chapter was closed and I'm like, okay, it's, I'm too old to pick up sports and be good or competitive at the high school level, so I guess I'll be a cheerleader. It was so funny because I still brought the competitive gymnast in me to cheerleading, which was not competitive, when I started as a freshman in high school and thankfully I had a co-conspirator who also was a gymnast with me and my dearest friend growing up and we both started cheerleading as freshmen and I tell you, we turned into a competitive team and went into competitions, started winning competitions, qualified to nationals as juniors and it's so funny, it's.
Speaker 6:
Yeah, we had a great squad. We're also proud of it. However, I will say cheerleading taught me one of the most important aspects of leadership and it's something I carry with me to this day. So we're putting the call out to all former cheerleaders.
Speaker 1:
Okay, we're looking for you to come out of retirement. If you are interested in getting together once every couple of months. We'll skip over the winter, but every couple of months, and we'll do a lot of fun. We'll skip over the winter, but every couple of months, and we'll do some cheers. That would be awesome. And just to rekindle that cheerleader spirit, little sparkle, yeah, yeah, yeah, because it was called the what was it?
Speaker 6:
I know you do it and I'm like they're not jazz hands, not the jazz hands.
Speaker 1:
I can't remember, but if you all can remember, please let us know in the comments. But, my friend, I have enjoyed this conversation, this conversation immensely. Thank you.
Speaker 6:
Thank you. Thank you. That's a gift to me, so thank you.
Speaker 4:
I'm talking about these stories. Another story is my mother fell in and out of high school. She had five children at the age of you know, starting at 15. At 60, she went back to school and became a psychologist because of her story and she was like they have it now. And when she was taking the classes she would say you know, do I have to read this chapter? Because I'm a parent, I buried a mom, I buried a child, I've been homeless. So it was okay, just write something about your experiences and you get credit for that class. So it was her life skills that enabled her to be a successful psychologist and she had done for Sister Norma King at 60. And she's always said God, god, god, faith, faith, faith.
Speaker 2:
I see it in their demeanor and I've experienced it myself. But something about sitting with the trees and just watching the natural flow of the birds flying from one tree to the next, the little ants in the soil, the way that the leaves move, taps you into something ancient and innate and deeper. It's hard to put in words, but I know, trina, you've had this experience before. Sitting with water is another example. I used to live in Hawaii and being with the oceans reflects our movement of breath in such a beautiful way. It makes you breathe slower and calmer and deeper. So I've been a yoga teacher for about 25 years.
Speaker 2:
Yoga has been a really big part of my life, not just the physical stretching and asana, but the deep philosophical and spiritual work that the ancient practice of yoga brings some 5,000 year old technology for the science of the mind and the science of self-realization and knowledge of self.
Speaker 2:
The breath, you know the breath is the one thing that's constantly changing. So within yoga philosophy we identify the physical body and all of nature. We call this property, and that includes the thoughts in your mind and it includes the movement of breath, so things that are coming and going, things that are constantly changing, and then we identify that within you, that is the conscious awareness that is observing all of the things that change so the seasons, your mind, your thoughts, your emotions, your breath. And the idea, with yoga practices, to live from that space of conscious awareness, to be the observer, to sit on a throne as a royal goddess and be the witness of life, unbound by situation, unbound by the weather patterns, unbound by the mental complexities and something about sitting in front of the ocean, which you find a rhythm with your breath. It's such a deep meditation for me.
Speaker 3:
And we'll go get our bubble tea.
Speaker 1:
And that's another thing we connect on, because it wouldn't be right if we didn't have our bubble tea.
Speaker 3:
No, it would not be a tea crime. Boston Tea Party 2.0.
Speaker 1:
Wait, what's your drink from Starbucks again?
Speaker 3:
I love a good cold brew. They have a vanilla sweet cream. I honestly have such a guilty pleasure for that. The shake and espresso, but then the lemonade. If I'm going to do tea, I'm not like a repeater. I have to get different things all the time. So some days I'm in the mood for like younger coffee, I want my espresso, and then some days I just love me a good drip brew, hot coffee. We do not leave any drinks. I'm not a frozen drink girl. I'm not into those stuff like that.
Speaker 1:
OK, that's not your damn, teach them no. That's true so we are. Ok, we'll chat soon.
