Your entire identity has been fabricated. Your beloved brother goes missing without a trace. You discover the depths of your mother's illness. I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the powerful stories I'll be mining on our upcoming 12th season of Family Secrets. We continue to be moved and inspired by our guests and their courageously told stories.

Listen to Family Secrets, season 12, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, host of the Therapy for Black Girls podcast. I know how overwhelming you can feel if flying makes you anxious. In session 418 of the Therapy for Black Girls podcast,

Dr. Angela Neal-Bornett and I discussed flight anxiety. What is not normal is to allow it to prevent you from doing the things that you want to do, the things that you were meant to do. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown.

Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app,, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, let's get into it. So everybody knows that Nicki Minaj challenge is going around. All these little TikToks. Are we too grown or just late? So I did the- Are you saying or late? Or late or just late. That's the title of the segment.

So I was at the office and some of my agents, they always with the shenanigans with me. They always, every time I go, Tenia is the main one. She's up to date on every TikTok trend that you have. Anything that's going on, she know what's going on and she gonna make sure, you know, she hit it when it first come out. So you had me do the little, the TikTok trend or whatever.

I saw you real. Bravo by the way. It actually went viral, a little viral. So people come in and you got your comments talking about oh you too old for this like so is it a age limit today if I do it it's a able thing so forget age first of all you already have the the energy to want to even try to do it one to the ability to do it. That's a huge factor because yeah. And three, the courage of like it's being recorded in what some of these Tik Toks I've also

seen are the ones that they're falling, hurting themselves. We got broken bones off for the gram. That's the ER for the gram. Like that doesn't add up to me. And so I see the man on the light pole It was somebody on the light pole Everyone I saw the the bear bells like the bar bells or whatever in the gym I'm like so shout out to all of y'all that have attempted to do this but in my mind in my heart, I'm very adventurous, but I'm not that adventurous.

And yeah, that's not for me, not this trend. It's not. So the question is, see, I've been trying to learn. I still ain't got the line there. I just know how to pop. Boom, boom, boom. But like, why do people feel like there has to be an age limit to something that's trending? I think I'm at the age now where I do have these like, you know, vices and ailments where I'm like, I don't want loud noise or cut all that noise out or, you know, that's, I'm sounding like my parents.

You sound like, oh, cut out all that noise and walk back down. Yeah, like, you know, sit on down somewhere. You know, why don't you go outside? I'm like, oh my God, that's my parents. But I'm just like, you know, I'm really just trying to set my way of how I'm gonna teach these kids, you know? I'm setting that example.

It's my turn now, you know? I don't feel no kind of way about it. So you, so have you ever stopped yourself from doing something fun because you thought you were too old? Well, no, no, because, um, I feel like, well, let me, let me be real with you. So when we were at Turks, I was like wearing thong bikinis. Oh, you had the booty out Lex. Yes.

So like, so a part of me is like, am I too old to have my, you know, to be in a bathing suit like this? And I'm like, absolutely not. No. I look good. I'm only here one time, you know, like I love my body. I am healthy.

Let me show it. I'm in the Caribbean Island. And then, you know, from traveling in Europe, I mean, what we live in Miami, like put the thong on, I'm wearing my thong bikini and loving all of this essence. And, and yes, you're going to see it. So I don't think it's the age thing for me. I'm just not going to put, I'm not putting the age on anything. And then also I feel like, you know, back in the day, our parents had a lot of pressure on them to do this

by this date or by this age, you know, 40 you're gonna retire or this and whatever. We can't even rely on that anymore. There's no social security for our generation. So we can't even put an age limit on that. You can't put an age limit on like who you fall in love with at this point, you know? So those things-

It's baby. Cause a lot of these OBGYNs are taking over. You know what that mean. You're funny. Well, and that's another thing too. Do you know what the OBGYN mean? No, I don't, Sherelle. But you tell me then.

Is it appropriate on here, the OG? OB. OB. Getting YNs. So Asada is always telling me about the YNs. That is crazy. Well, what I'm just saying, it's becoming normalized. It's just like, be yourself. You're going to, it's not it's becoming normalized. It's just like be yourself.

You're going to love who you're going to love on. You're going to do this trend because you feel like it. You're going to post it. My thing is be safe, because again, I've seen those videos are hilarious to me. Girl, like, I mean, I'm like, wow, but people are very creative. They are. But you won't catch me doing too much. I wasn't even prepared. I wasn't trying to do it. You did it though. Come on, just do it. So, but like, this is the new trend right now. You did it.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't, I don't care anymore. Are we too old to be doing that now? Like, Oh, they said I'm too, they said I'm too old to do all that. You're too old for this. you're too old for that. I don't care anymore. Just shut up, shut up. It's annoying. But I let it be, I used to care about it,

care about what people say, but not anymore. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I'm like, come pay these damn bills. Then I think about, no matter. I'm like, come pay these damn bills. They're not think about. No matter. Is age just a number when it comes to self-expression or should certain trends be left to the younger crowd? Again, I don't discriminate.

Do you, be you, I think is actually better when you are yourself. Again, being authentic, your style, your inspirate, you can be inspired by people, but I think do you? Like, I didn't know I was gonna be having, I'm gonna be having locks at 42. You know, this is where I'm at right now. And they're, some of them are blue.

Like, who would have thought, you know what I mean? But this is where I'm at in my life. I'm confident to wear it. I love it. And this is who I am. And who would have thought that was something that was missing in me that elevated who my essence of Alexis is, you know?

So like, it is what it is. And we put too much pressure on ourselves and other people. It's unnecessary. Yeah, I'm not gonna listen. Listen, I have kids that are, they all on TikTok and everything. And if they want their momma to come in and do a TikTok with them,

I'm gonna do a TikTok with them. Whatever it is, whatever they need done, I'm gonna be their number one supporter and do it with them. Yeah. But it keeps you going. Well, yeah, it keeps us young. And we are also, again, public figures.

And not just to say public figures, but let's be real. People want to see us active and be able to participate. And we are very versatile ladies. We're athletic. We're beautiful. We're talented. So you're going to see some things that we're able to do. This particular trend was your portion, Sherelle, it's not for me.

But that was for you, yes, and you did that. And I love seeing my girls doing it. My caption should have been, Taneel messed me up because she should have put my caption in, still standing on business. Why y'all out here, why y'all out here turning on these TikTok trends? I mean, over here standing on business. Yeah, but the moral of the story is,

of this segment is, do the trend, whatever makes you happy. I love seeing around the holidays too. You know how they do like, they go by age, like how many generations. There's so many interactive trends that people love to see because now with social media, obviously everything is in our hand and we want, I love seeing warmth. I want to, I'm happy to see the fun stuff. You know, this is fun.

You know, it's, it's, we have so much heaviness and darkness in the world that at least we can get this, you know, we can get some light heartedness. I want to see the fun stuff. Yes, I'm clapping for all of y'all that are able because it's not for me. Listen, I ain't gonna lie, them knees was hurting when I stood up now. But I wasn't one time ago. Well, you didn't. I didn't do it all the way right.

But I did enough When I stood up, them knees, I felt them in them. I felt them knees. Them knees was pop locking and dropping in. What's up guys? Welcome to Agusto Papa, the go to spot for everything musica mexicana. We're proud Mexican Americans who live and breathe this music.

What we got going on? So, so I was, I was thinking um the other day I was just sitting back thinking like dang I miss these days when I was a child. What's something from your childhood that you wish still existed or was practiced or was practiced today? From Sunday dinners to being outside to the street lights came on, some parts of our upbringing felt like the blueprint for joy, discipline, and real connection. But those things seem rare now, and that might be part of the problem.

What's one tradition from your childhood you wish your kids could experience? Going outside and playing. Being outside in the element, you know, like not having the pressure of being in sports and being the best and, you know, training and nutrition. And we were drinking out of the holes growing up and we some of the best athletes, you know what I'm saying?

We got that grit. So it would be really for me being outside because that's, I have scars that I can My knees are bad. Yes. I can't for every scar. But for me it's that past time of going outside and running around and catching light. Barefoot. Barefoot. And drinking out the holes and for me it, I had to be home right before the, like the lights started buzzing. Flickering.

That means get your butt home. Because my dad, he would whistle and it would carry cause he has this loud whistle. And that was the second warning. If I'm not working my way home, he's coming to get me. And that's embarrassing. You know what I mean? He coming with a belt.

Like that's another thing too. Like they're able to, we were able to get whipped back then. The switch. When you still have to go outside and pick your old switch. The switch, everything. Everything, yes, the switch. And you think the thinner the better, but this.

Them the worst. Them lead a little whips on you. But like, you know, it's just really was going outside for me. We would pick up McDandy lion bracelets and run in the grass. So it's now harder because it's not safe. You know, we used to go in a porch to porch, curb to curb.

We used to go to people's like house and eat now You don't want them in somebody's house like exactly, you know It's just it's a different way of life and I don't know if that's you know, my neighbor who was amazing You know, everyone knew everyone and they knew my parents to where they'd be like, you know Lex is over here It's about three boys and two girls to where they'd be like, you know Lex is over here. It's about three boys and two girls. What you want me to do? By the time I get home, Lex, what you doing over here?

You know, I'm like, dang, dad, you already, you already got the word on me, you know? So it's like, you know, I missed that from them going outside. What about you? I had so many childhood memories. My favorite thing as a child was, so my mom worked night time as a nurse and every summer

we used to go to our great grandparents house. My great grandparents stayed in the projects. Shout out to LP Style, LP3 Phoenix City. So we would always play, we used to, so in the projects it used to be rows and it would be a hill. We used to get cardboard boxes, all the kids, every child in the neighborhood played with each other. So we used to get the cardboard boards

and have races sliding down the hill. Ooh, just clean fun. Yeah, just so much fun. Like, of course you had to be able, and everybody knew everybody. My grandfather was the oldest and the most respected in the projects. Everybody knew who my granddad was, Mr. Tooney.

Yes, he did not play. But everybody knew who my brother and I were because we were the only mixed kids in the neighborhood. So they, all right, I'ma tell Mr. Tooney on you, gonna go get that switch. And the thing about it, anybody could discipline you. Anybody could tell you something. Anybody could.

And you respected them. That's right. Anybody, don't you do that. Go put that back, go put it away. Or do you need something to eat? Or whatever the case may be, yes. We used to have the candy lady. The candy, oh oh that's another tradition

lady even the ice cream truck the ice cream truck it was just so many good memories and and you just in alabama you had on sundays they couldn't um getting this they didn't sell alcohol so they had a bootlegger the candy lady turned into the bootlegger and your aunties The bootlegger. Your great aunties at the church with they Sunday that big Sunday hats on and everything They'll go down to the bootlegger and playing cards and taking shots of liquor While the kids outside playing and the only thing you can listen to that's why I know every old school blues song Because of them. You either listening to gospel or they got some Theotis playing. Yes. And I'm like, I used to be like-

Theotis Redding, Marvin Gaye. And I used to see my parents dancing. They would go out and hang out. All these things, you're right. It's interesting because we, those are some traditions that, but remember we would even have like, another tradition would be like,

to like what I grew up doing that I don't do now, which my mom is like, you haven't cooked that dinner yet, and it'll be like one o'clock. You know what I mean? Like she's like, you know, maybe say it was on a Sunday. She's like, you know, that crock pot would be going. The cornbread would be done. So by the time you come back home from church you eat or whatever, you know,

so I used to, I used to be walking around saying old school songs week, five and six years old, six and seven talking about some what this my brother, he used to say this one. That's a mosquito on my Peter. Not kill. And we didn't know what it meant until we got older. And I used to be like a mosquito on my Peter. It's like when you get older, like what the hell y'all had us listening to. And those old sands, everything we used to do all of that.

That's crazy. Never heard that one. I'm sure it's on YouTube. Just type in those lyrics, how old school and country. It used to be some crazy things. I can sit back and laugh at the things because it was so much fun, so many memories, and the violence was so low back, you know, when we grew up. Another thing I miss my childhood, like we used to go to church every Sunday and I

don't see this now, but our church had a church van and when I tell you it drove all around from Phoenix City, Alabama to Columbus, Georgia, picking up all the kids. We used to have to make it to Sunday school. Don't get ran on in the van. Don't head to get in that van. I'll meet you at church and if you cut up, that's your ass. So. You don't want to get in trouble at church.

No. And my granddad was the presiding elder. So everybody knew who we were. The deep campus is everybody. I'ma tell LK Allen on your behind, but it was a good time. Vacation Bible school. Vacation Bible school in the summertime. Everything.

It's interesting you say that, like there are still programs, but we're competing with pretty much, you know, technology now. So it's like, you can see, go to church from the comfort of your home. I feel like COVID kind of rocked us a lot. You made it very like convenient to look at church or temple or whatever service from your phone, you know? So it's given us like, and I think we've also were like a lot overworked,

you know, meaning like, we want that rest on the weekend. So I know what you're saying, like you don't see too much people, like you will get dressed up for church now, church is, or, you know, service is a lot more casual. Yes, people, if you came to my church dressed like that, when we was growing up as a child, they'll look at you like you crazy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, like what do you got on? So all that, just all those things. I do miss it, childhood, but like, I feel like we still implement these things because that's what we were taught, you know, like, for me, it was like, you know, around Christmas time, we will go and cut down the tree and then go get the apple cider and have people over to the house and entertain. And we will open up gifts the next morning and just have these dinners and all those things. But like it's now where we live

because we now are not in our neighborhoods where for a long amount of time where people interact, they will come over, bring a pot, bring a dish, all these things. I miss that because now it's just your friends and that's if they're available or if they're not going somewhere else or doing their own thing. We've gotten so distant. We're all in different neighborhoods or your friends are in different cities, different time zones. We just became a little bit more intimate now,

you know what I mean? Like whatever your own little tradition is. So I, I feel like I'm still doing a lot of implementing a lot from my, my upbringing into my raising my children because the beautiful thing is my, I grew up in a family unit. So like with the father and the mother in the household and having this structure. And that's why like for me, it looks different now for with myself, you know, obviously being a single mom and a divorcee, but I still long for that, you know, because I saw it and how it works that dynamic. That's yeah, that's good.

What's one thing your parents or grandparents instilled in you that shape who you are today? I would say for me, so every morning and I instill this you know in my kids every morning my mom would get up and make us pray. We all would have to pray. She basically taught us how to pray for my child. I don't even remember. What's up guys, welcome to Agusto Papa, the go-to spot for everything música mexicana.

where she didn't get us up and had us pray. Prayed over the house, prayed over us. And make sure we go to church with my kids. Of course, I'm not going to sit here. I wake up every morning and gather them to pray, but I am still God in them. That's right. Prayer. Yes.

That's right. God. Yeah, you're right. 100%. And we go to church. We go to church together. You know, I didn't force it up on them. They see, you're right, 100%. And we go to church, we go to church together. I didn't force it up on them.

They see, my mom, I wouldn't say it was forced, but it was like something, a tradition, like you gonna get up and pray. You gonna get up, you gonna keep God first. And with them, I feel like it made me who I am today by doing that, the discipline, and it's teaching my kids. I don't have any issues with my kids. Just with that upbringing that I'm bringing

from what I learned as a child. I love that. Love that. Do you think today's parenting styles are better or worse than the ones we grew up with? You know, one thing I think about when you, when you ask that question is like the helicopter parents, they hover over the kids and like, if they fall,

they're like, oh no, get up. No, like my, like we would be rough, you know what I mean? Like we'll fall and we have to brush it off and get back up and figure that out. Yeah, get back up, wipe them tears. Ain't nothing wrong with you. Wipe them tears, you You know those things like that. I think it's you know it has it there's pros and cons, but I would say one thing that you know I do regret

That I changed and implemented into my parenting was you know when we were growing up as children You better shut up. I don't wanna hear it. You better stop talking back to me. You, if you said something, it was talking back. So it shut down communication and affected our communication. And I speak about this all the time. Yeah, that.

I, I stop that. Stay out of grown folks' business. Yeah, stay out of grown folks' business. Or if you wanna know why this is going on. Touch your nose. You don't need to worry about it. Touch your nose. Yeah, it was always a shutdown, just shut down.

And I stopped that because it affects your communication. It's not good. So that was the main thing that I did not bring into my kids' life. I let them communicate, I let them talk, I let them express themselves, but you still I'm still the mother and I still would like that ass up, but But it's okay to ask questions and it's how you ask it Yeah, I think that's probably the only thing I would change

Hmm. I like that. I like that All right, you guys we we're coming to an end. But before we go, we have our humble baddies. Mel, is that me? Let me let me get it. Yeah. All right, here we go. Hey, humble baddies.

I love how y'all mix business and beauty. So here's my question. I just started a business and I'm struggling to stay consistent because the support isn't there and sales are slow. I know I have a good product, but I'm losing motivation. What's the best advice you receive and as business women when things feel like they aren't moving? So sign, try not to tap out in Texas.

We were just talking about that too. So what's something every business owner needs to hear in year one? I mean, this is the beginning for her. I would say that everything is not going to be perfect and don't think that everything, it's a lot of people who are perfectionists and they feel like, you know, everything just supposed to be smooth right out the gate. You're going to go through trials, you're going to go through tribulations and you're going to have your ups and downs. That's part of business, especially being an entrepreneur. You just need to learn how to navigate through when you go through those trials and tribulations

instead of shutting down. A lot of people shut down and quit because things are not working out or you're gonna lose money. I lost a lot of money, you know, first starting my business, but I didn't allow that to stop where I was going. But you gotta take risks. You have to take risks. Yeah, you have to take risks.

It's one of the things. And just investing yourself because there's nothing that, you and a billionaire get the same 24 hours. It's all about how you utilize those 24 hours. So you just have to keep going. You think it was easy for them? No.

So you can't worry about what someone else doing. You stay focused on yours. And if it don't work, find another way. I agree with you. There's a thousand ways to skin a cow. I agree with you. Yeah, yes, yes, yes. No, I agree with you. There's a thousand ways to skin a cow. I agree with you. How'd it go? Yes, yes, yes, yes. No, I agree with you. We're in the day and age of instant gratification.

And then we see people stacking the money, you know, putting the money here, you know, flossy, flossy, flossy. But we don't know the grind it took to do this. And a lot of that is rented or borrowed or fake or all these things. People are actually out here stunting and doing all this, but it takes, you know, like the grit and grind of it. We don't see it's not glamorized. It's not filtered. It's real life.

It's bloodshot eyes. It's, you know, bags. It's all these things. And it's just like, you know, we have to give ourselves a lot more grace, you know? And I would say this to whoever that is from Texas to this is a part of being an entrepreneur and the beautiful thing about living in the great US of A, you know, despite y'all know my political, you know, anyway, the beautiful thing about living here is you can do whatever you want to do, be what you want to be, make those, you know, those choices.

You can pivot and go in a different direction. You can change careers. You can get educated. You can do all these things. And so I would tell you that it's going to happen. It's not perfect. It's not going to be the this this business. It takes time

and then you have to give yourself a lot of grace and you have to give yourself time. Just be patient and don't give up and set goals too. And not realistic goals. That would be some advice. I would say realistic goals of, okay, a year that's just 12 months. Yes, it sounds like I break it down like that. 12 months to me is 12 is bigger than one, right? So when you say a year, I rather say 12 months because then I can break it down into quarters. I can break it down into seasons, you know, all these things. So like I'm making sure that, and then the five year goals

or what is the goal of like, this is the max of my debt. If I get to this certain cap, am I gonna stop? So you have to think of these kinds of sacrifices and pivot, use these tools, use friends, use consultants of these friends that you know, ask them, be open to it, be like, what do you think? You know your friend is into marketing or she has a great Instagram account?

Ask her, be like, what do you think I should do to promote my product that's free? Or if you have that tech friend that's like, look, put these prompts in chat, GPT, and this will help you like these tangible things that you can help increase your business. So it's just about opening up your mouth is about giving yourself grace. It's about being present and learning

and educating yourself and not giving up, you know, set those goals, figure it out. And if by this point, you know, say so much debt or so much, you know, growth or whatever, whatever your thing is, make sure you set it. And then when you get there, reevaluate. That would be my advice. Great advice, Lips. All right, you guys, that is it for Humblebatties. We will see y'all again on Wednesday.
